Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 129

Jinseong didn’t understand what he said for a moment.

It wasn’t just because the mood of a drunkard chugging dark tequila just a moment ago had suddenly changed to that of an unmanned person.

It was purely because I did not understand the expression of the poem itself.

“No, just tell me. Am I right?”

Anyway, it is true that GSD is wearing the Ashura eye patch.

The skills he uses when acting as an APC with users and within dungeons are also Asura’s.

Regardless of the initial setting, it would not be an exaggeration to say that GSD is currently the most famous ‘Asura’ profession’s inspector. In that sense, they gave up their eyesight and trained with waves, so they wear blindfolds.

“Uh, ah, service…you mean GSD-sama? My teacher…yes, that’s right.”

Are you calling GSD ‘service’, which is just a derogatory term for a blind person?

Even though Jinseong knew full well that Shiran wasn’t an ordinary person, it was a somewhat uncomfortable statement.

‘At least he’s polite. He’s not exactly eccentric, but he’s more of a weirdo. But you call a GSD a volunteer grandpa?’

Siran often works with NPCs who are much younger than her.

Even in such a situation, Shiran, who had always been close to being a likable character, expressed herself in this way?

Even as Jinseong’s mind was in turmoil, Shiran took another sip of alcohol.

“But I can’t believe it, Ancana.”

And then he said.

This was something Jinseong could also understand.

When they first met, Sharan, as well as the blacksmith NPC Shinda, who had been friends with GSD for a long time, found it hard to believe when Jinseong himself said that he was GSD’s disciple.

So Jinseong went straight to [Inventory].

“Ah, yes. Even if Aganjo-sama said it, it might be hard to believe. So there is a way to check with GSD-sama directly. Just a moment, where was it……”

Even if those who had to see it in person were to question Jinseong himself, he was confident that he could immediately use a teleportation potion to fly to Hendonmare’s GSD and confirm it.

“Thank you, Chiara.”

“……yes?”

The problem is that I didn’t think there would be people who didn’t want to drink the potion and check it out for themselves.

Siran emptied the bottle of dark tequila she had received from Jinseong and placed it on the floor.

“I will never accept a disciple, and I have never accepted a disciple, but now-”

It seemed like he was placing it roughly, but it was a delicate and perfect movement that did not even make a single rattling sound as the glass bottle touched the stone floor.

And the movement never stopped.

[Jinseong, coming!]

“Huh?!”

“-Does it make sense for a disciple to come out and do this!?”

Kaaaaaaaang──────────!

Jinseong had to step back and raise due to Shiran’s sudden rush.

The loud noise of iron clashing with iron echoed through the alleys of Shonan.

“Now, wait a minute, Siran-sama! Excuse me, I am the King of the Suju Kingdom, Lady Shonan Asuka- I was introduced to Siran-sama by virtue of my authority as the winner of the Blue Dragon Tournament-.”

“Shut up, Mundi Jjajang! You’re the disciple of the old man Bongsa, and you’re acting like that right now?”

“-Yes? Yes?”

Siran swung his weapon repeatedly.

In each strike swung by the master of the sword, it was not only power that was loaded into each strike.

“Ugh.”

The weapon that Jinseong himself is holding is a saw-shaped weapon.

Rather, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is specialized in blocking the opponent’s weapon or dulling the edge of the opponent’s weapon.

‘You’re going to let go, you’re going to wed your weapon between these little saw blades – and you’re going to make me let go of my weapon!?’

Conversely, isn’t it that Shiran is trying to neutralize Jinseong himself by inserting her own sword between the blades and deflecting them?

If only her grip had been a little weaker, if only her had been a little lighter, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she would have already missed it, as Siran was showing off her solid skill, ‘swordsmanship’, in addition to her strength.

“Look, look, Ma! And you’re saying that you’re the disciple of the old man Bongsa? I don’t know what kind of a trick you did to Aganjo Geulma, but I will never be fooled!”

Even in the midst of all this, there are still words that say that Jinseong’s true identity cannot be believed.

Jinseong was embarrassed by Shiran’s reckless remark.

‘Isn’t that your personality? You’re definitely not the type to blindly and recklessly suspect things like this. Rather, if it’s Shiran who is the most flexible of the four Weapon Masters, then… … .’

Test. You should think of it as testing your true self.

In that case, Jinseong couldn’t just sit there and be flustered.

“So! First, understand that I’m saying let’s compete! Then I’ll do my best too!? And then listen carefully to what I have to say! , , -.”

At the moment when I was about to carry out the revised plan of passing Siran’s test first while casting the combo, I had to explain it in detail.

“No need Kai! I’ve known Grandpa Naekang for a while, Ankana! I didn’t know that much?”

Siran said.

In a way, it was an ordinary statement, but the truth was different.

“……ah?”

A few doubts arose in my mind.

Jinseong thought back to Shiran’s attitude, which had first made him suspicious.

1. What if calling GSD a servant was not out of contempt but out of friendship?

2. What if Siran had a long-standing, intimate relationship with GSD, as she had said earlier?

The obvious reason why he had doubts about numbers 1 and 2 was because of Jinseong himself.

‘I know that the four Weapon Masters are acquainted with GSD to some extent and are somewhat friendly with him, but… … I didn’t know that Siran and GSD had such a deep relationship?’

I should have known.

Siran is one of the main NPCs who is still very active in the current game Dungeon & Fighter, and GSD is an NPC who was so important in the past game Dungeon & Fighter that he was the teacher of all the demon swordsmen.

Even if other users don’t know about the relationship between the two, Jinseong himself should know.

‘Just like Aganjo knows GSD, Shiran knows that much too… … This… … Isn’t it!? Ah, ahhh?!’

At that moment, something occurred to Jinseong’s mind.

At the moment, in the game Dungeon & Fighter, Siran and GSD have never been directly linked.

But in the past?

‘Pinabi’s Dance! Crazy, that thing that came out during the Second Impact patch!? It was in the Heroes Quest for Pinabi’s Dance back in 2009, right? … It was there!’

There was a scene where Siran and GSD met in person and talked.

The user also cleared the dungeon with an APC called ‘Siran’s Dream of Formation’.

‘In 2009… … I don’t know how many years ago it was!’

For Jinseong, it was a very distant memory from long ago.

At a time when APC Siran, boasting an overwhelming level, used overwhelming skills that were difficult for users at the time to even imagine.

“Thank you, from now on, don’t act like a liar, !”

There was a relationship between Siran and GSD.

And the truth is that the relationship itself has been maintained to this day.

Still, Jinseong’s eyes couldn’t help but widen.

Even if that’s the case, shouldn’t the relationship between Siran and GSD be the only thing that remains?

But what is flying before our eyes right now?

“Damn, but that scene and that quest itself were all patched up and disappeared! Why does the Heroes difficulty keep having problems, even though it was deleted!”

The sword wind that flies in and fills the already narrow alley.

That was the very technique that Siran, who was an APC at the time, used to move around with the user and sweep away the enemies.

‘There’s no way to avoid it. There’s nowhere to run. Above all, this is… …contamination!’

Jinseong swallowed dry saliva.

It was already wrong to dodge the sword wind that shot out while gnawing at the walls on both sides of the alley.

“Hoooooo……”

There is only one way left.

Bear it.

Slash through all the incoming sword winds and see if they are contamination, a precursor to contamination, or something completely normal.

“Haaaaaah……..”

Jinseong took a deep breath.

Then he swung his sword.

His eyes turned into reverse eyes.

───────────… … !!!

* * *

The result that Jinseong aimed for was to cut through the sword wind.

After nullifying the attack on him, he decided to have a deeper conversation with Siran to check for contamination.

“……ok?”

But now, Jinseong could only panic.

Fortunately, Jinseong wasn’t the only one who was flustered.

“What is this? Is it a noble thing?”

Siran looked around with wide eyes.

It had to be that way.

“Wow, the is open?”

Because the place where the two people were standing now was inside the .

“Siran… aren’t you a goddess?”

Jinseong asked.

Siran waved her hand vigorously while looking around.

“What are you talking about? Opening the is no ordinary task. Why would you do something like that with my monkey for no reason-… Now, wait. How did you know that, you punk?”

Then, he turned his head towards Jinseong, his neck breaking.

Jinseong looked at him. To be exact, he looked into his eyes.

Is there any contamination?

How different is it from the poem that Jinseong himself remembers?

‘… … Same. At best, I’ve only seen illustrations, Shiran’s dialogue scripts, and the Shiran that appeared in cutscenes… … Same. It’s not contaminated.’

It is clear that the that he showed, which allowed him to shoot an overwhelming sword wind, was similar to Siran when he appeared as an APC in the past game Dungeon & Fighter, but that is not the only thing to consider.

‘As someone with exceptional skills among the four Weapon Masters, this level of corruption is not a problem, but rather highly probable.’

It is to a degree that can be accepted when Siran’s skills are realized.

After all, isn’t there another piece of evidence that it isn’t contaminated?

‘At least at this point, even though we’ve entered the , there are no users. In Vivi’s case, if not a user, then someone possessed should have been with us. In other words, there should have been an ‘adventurer’ with us… … .’

There are no adventurers.

There are only two people inside the : Shiran and Jinseong.

Then it can’t be contamination.

“Try it yourself! Even the volunteer doesn’t know that!”

Siran spoke as if urging Jinseong to organize his thoughts.

Jinseong became calmer as he heard his voice, which sounded somewhat anxious.

“Didn’t you say you couldn’t believe that I was GSD’s disciple?”

“What, what did you say?”

“Then it wouldn’t be wrong for me to know something that GSD doesn’t know, right?”

“Meracano, are you kidding me with your words? What’s important right now is-.”

“Yes, I’ll just tell you the important points. Whether I’m GSD’s disciple or not… that’s not important.”

Jinseong said.

If the first reason for confidence is that you have some idea of ​​why Jinseong and Shiran are in this place now, then it is because of this.

“I’ve been through the . I’ve opened a dimensional rift and entered the crack. I-.”

Another reason I could feel confident was because of the conversation that came from my genuine memories.

“-I know Mehmet.”

One who knows Time Lord Mehmet.

Anyone who has ever entered or exited the .

“I am also someone who can control the power of dimensions and open the .”

When choosing the ‘Dark Knight’ and ‘Creator’, the spin-off characters of the game Dungeon & Fighter, the existence of the ‘job-specific special script’ that would be output when talking to Siran finally occurred to Jinseong.

It was natural that Siran’s eyes widened.
