Episode 167: The Empress of Massacre -2-
Seo Woo-jin was confident.
‘If only I had the chance… … .’
I have been sharpening my sword since I was young.
I learned martial arts and developed my internal energy and magical power.
So I despaired.
When the saint’s hand landed on the crown of her head.
When the fever started burning my whole body.
[I’d rather join my old father’s religious order.]
[Are you crazy? You absolutely must not do this until dirt gets into my eyes! Don’t you know that if you join the old father’s sect, you will be brainwashed and become a completely different person!]
If my parents hadn’t opposed it, I really would have joined the church.
It wasn’t because of the pain.
The pain was good, after all.
The biggest problem was that I couldn’t learn martial arts. I couldn’t use magical powers.
‘I want to become stronger.’
‘I want to shine like heroes.’
So I secretly picked up the sword.
Even though I couldn’t use magical power, I swung my sword while imagining countless times in my head that I was generating sword energy and using magical power.
Then I was saved.
By a superhuman who doesn’t look particularly strong, except for the scar on his cheek.
[teacher!]
I really appreciate it.
I was grateful.
I swore that I would repay this debt for the rest of my life.
On the one hand, I devoted myself to training all night long.
Because I lost more than ten years of time.
Because I thought I had to work ten times harder to keep up with others.
As a result, I was rewarded.
[Level 5!]
[Oh my god!]
[Level 5 on first authentication!]
[Is that possible?]
[Not human!]
[It is worthwhile to combine the Jegeommun and Ilgemmun.]
[Aren’t you the future number one Korean?]
[Maybe I can catch up with the Heavenly Horse… … .]
Heavenly horse!
My heart was pounding.
So I pushed harder.
Swinging swords, channeling magical powers, and gorging on elixirs until their bellies burst, they gained practical experience whenever the opportunity arose.
[There is nothing more to teach you, son.]
[The First Sword is now in your hands.]
First Sword.
A top-level swordsmanship that combines the Jegeommun’s Jesegeombeop and Ilgeommun’s Ilgigeom, and is cautiously evaluated as comparable to the Mukhomujeokgeombeop within the two martial arts schools.
He had everything but the name.
Immediately after learning the First Sword, Seo Woo-jin received level 6 certification.
Level 7 was right in front of me.
Also, the Sword Master was right in front of me.
If he goes just a little further, not one step, but half a step further, Seo Woo Jin will become level 7.
I will become a sword master.
So I gladly accepted.
A request from Kim Jeon-sa, who I consider my savior and half-teacher.
There was also greed.
‘I can do it too.’
Kim Jeon-sa has been famous since long ago.
Defeating high level enemies one-on-one.
At level 3, he (allegedly) defeated the Janitor’s Guild President, at level 4, he slew the Lion Knight, and at level 5, he won a duel with the Hunter’s Guild President.
And the decisive event.
Seoul terror attack.
When he returned alive after meeting the Empress of Slaughter, his name rose almost to the heavens.
Because the Empress of Slaughter has long been known as an international terrorist and evil criminal.
‘I can do it too.’
Gratitude is gratitude, and pride is pride.
Seo Woo-jin thought he could do it too.
Because he is a genius.
Because I’ve tried to shit blood and peel my palms dozens of times.
I got to level 5 in my first certification, and then I got to level 6 in half a year.
Actually, I was a little bit looking forward to it.

When entering the restricted area.
Maybe I’ll meet the Empress of Slaughter.
Then I thought I would stand up and fight him one-on-one.
It’s about overcoming a one-level difference and winning.
The scene of the savior, teacher, parents, and the entire nation cheering and looking up to him seemed like a fantasy.
But, but… … .
“Cough!”
Reality and imagination were different.
“You’ve come looking for a place to die, you little rat.”
The moment those words fell.
The moment when the air becomes as heavy as a lump of iron.
Seo Woo-jin knelt down.
Kwah! Kwah! Kwah!
It wasn’t just Seo Woo-jin.
Everyone was on their knees.
It was as if someone had forcibly pushed me down, as if they were trying to shatter my knee joints, so violently and roughly.
I’m breaking out in a cold sweat.
Vision becomes blurry.
This is an instinctive fear.
No one knew the power of the [Massacre] trait.
In a state of deep despair.
Seo Woo-jin opened his eyes wide and looked ahead.
In this hazy world, there was only one person standing like a mountain and enduring.
“Oh, it’s been a while. It’s been a little over a month, right?”
A voice that is no different from usual, just plain and calm.
It was Kim Jeon Sa.
Kim Jeon-sa, who had only reached level 6 a few days ago and was supposed to be weaker than him, was fighting as if nothing had happened.
This is the ability of the Musou trait.
Or the effect of the one-on-one trait.
‘Uh, how?’
It’s not just Kim Jeon-sa.
A groan was heard from the side, and someone stood up, trembling.
“You stinking old bitch! I’m going to kill you!”
Baek So-rin.
He raises his bloodshot eyes and swears.
My legs were shaking, but even that was calming down.
Chae-Ang!
Kim Jeon-sa takes out the holy sword that he said he had passed down to him and aims it at the Empress of Slaughter.
It wasn’t just Baek So-rin.
“Whew, whoa!”
Janet stands up, light radiating from her entire body.
As I held the shield and injected my energy into it, it turned into a single iron tower.
“Eeeeek!”
And even Kali joins in.
The three of them gathered in one place and fired their weapons at the enemy.
Level 5, level 4, and level 3 rebellions.
The Empress of Slaughter twisted her mechanical lips in a strange way, as if in disbelief.
“These little bastards are going crazy because they want to die so badly. Okay. I’ll kill them all, you little rats. You won’t be able to escape this time. The Great Escape isn’t a panacea.”
“I have no intention of running away.”
The calm voice is still heard.
“You die today.”
“Poohahaha!”
The maddening slaughter queen.
“Die!”
He comes running right in.
Bam!
The clashing Kim Jeon-sa and the slaughtering empress.
Something amazing happened.
They both took two steps back as if they had made a promise.
The slaughter empress cried out through gnashing her teeth.
“you!”
They face off again.
Again, again, we bump into each other.
In a very close situation, it’s a close match.
It was a fierce battle that the warriors of old would have admired, calling it a battle of dragons and tigers.
Seo Woo-jin watched the duel between the two with a blank expression.
It was different from what I imagined.
It was so different.
In my imagination, it wasn’t Kim Jeon-sa fighting the slaughter queen.
It was myself.
I imagined myself fighting on equal terms with the Empress of Slaughter, blocking as solidly as an iron wall, swooping down as swiftly as a shield, and unleashing attacks as terrifying as a storm.
But in reality, he is just kneeling and watching.
I, myself, was not the main character.
The main character was… … Kim Jeon Sa.
* * *
“Inom!”
Noh Ho-seong’s voice hits the eardrums.
Urrrr, it seems like thunder is coming.
But you can’t shake me.
I looked into the slaughter empress.
More precisely, he threw Mjolnir while looking at myself reflected in the machine’s eyeball, my eyes sparkling like glass beads.
Kwaaaaang!
Lightning strikes.
This is the very technique I learned from the Pope of the Thor Cult.
Explosion followed by accumulation.
The counterfeit annihilation lightning that is implemented in the process.
Maybe Astrape.
“shit!”
The Empress of Slaughter kicked out lightning.
The counterattack continues.
Boom!
A dizzying shock pierces through my brain.
I barely managed to stop it by switching traits.
If it weren’t for Aegis, I would have lost both my arms and my heart in one move.
[Master of the Sword][Body Adaptation][Massacre]
[Tsunami Sword Technique][Annihilation of Heaven and Earth][Untouchable]
Traits of the Empress of Slaughter.
My body feels like it’s going to fly away from the explosion that Geomgang set off, but I hold on.
Instead, he uses his strength and rushes into the air with a large air strike to slam the Empress of Slaughter into the ground.
Also, hit the shield with the right timing!
Bam!
The slaughter queen defended herself with her sword and ground her teeth.
“This little rat!”
Are you feeling suffocated?
Are you going to die from heat?
It’s the same as before.
I clung to her like crazy and the slaughter queen tried to pull me away.
It’s because of the tsunami law.
The swordsmanship inherited by the Empress of Massacre from her father, the Sword Master.
Specialized in long-range attacks.
The Empress of Slaughter is also a Sword Master, so she’ll blow away her gray-white sword like a tidal wave.
It was the same in games.
If you keep the wizard or priest far away, it will be destroyed.
The standard strategy was to have a party of swordsmen instead of wizards and a paladin instead of priests, and engage in close combat.
There was no rush.
I attacked the Empress of Slaughter one by one.
When a curse is placed, it is purified as it is placed.
While receiving all the conditional ability enhancements of Il-il-dang-cheon.
Brandishing the Mars gladiator’s sword like a sword of legend.
The 1 level difference is still absolute.
Even if I go through physical reconstitution twice and fight while only switching upper-level characteristics, it is natural that I will be pushed back.
“Hey, take this too!”
The slaughter queen has escaped.
He twists his body, hiding Yodo Masamune behind his back.
In an instant, a red alarm rings in my head!
It was [the destruction of heaven and earth].
Last time, it pierced through all my defenses and went right to my heart.
I also hardened my posture.
I heard Aegis.
Replaces the trait and infuses all magic power into Aegis.
[Magic Soul][Thor’s Training Method][Holy Light]
[Magic Shield][Shield Block][Sacred Ability]
A unfolding milky shield.
But instead of bringing destruction upon the world, the slaughter queen simply laughed.
“You got tricked, you punk!”
Instead, a tsunami comes.
It’s raining gray-white and black rain.
A baptism of swords pouring down like dots or lines.
It blocked all directions, forward, backward, left, and right, and covered me in dozens of waves.
But I was calm.
Still maintaining composure.
‘This is easier.’
[Ear eyes][Vajra body][Magic soul]
[Magic Shield][Shield Block][Sacred Ability]
Strike with a shield.
Block them one by one.
I was watching the attack direction and order through my ears.
With the addition of the Prophet’s Ring to Geumohwan, you can’t miss it even if you want to.
A precise and elaborate defense follows.
From time to time, a silvery magic shield sparkles.
Shield blocking activates when an attack is made, increasing defensive power.
No matter how strong you are, it can’t do anything to me.
But the slaughter queen shows no sign of panic.
After firing dozens of sword strikes, he finally pulled Masamune out.
Flash!
This time, the destruction of heaven and earth has truly arrived.
Kwaaaaang!
The sound of explosions is scattered.
I see the milky shield shatter.
The world flashes white as if my brain cells are burning out.
But that was it.
Unlike last time, the destruction of heaven and earth failed to split Aegis.
What was broken was only the outer layer of the overlapping shields.
At least the core, the main body of Aegis, was still alive.
The same goes for the Star Spawn armor that doesn’t have the Iron Fist applied.
“This can’t be happening!”
The slaughter queen screamed in surprise.
From level 5 to level 6.
Also, a set of traits optimized for the shield Aegis.
These things combined to create an unrealistic result.
Of course, I’m not all right.
‘There’s a crack in my arm.’
Did it only cost a little money?
My muscles are all torn.
Blood was running down his throat, indicating he had suffered an internal injury.
But it doesn’t show.
Instead, he flew his body and struck the slaughter queen.
Phew!
He also swings his golden left arm and uses the shield strike.
“Ugh!”
The slaughter queen finally groans.
Almost there.
Instead of equipping the immortality trait to heal injuries, I equipped the giant’s strength, diamond body, sword expert, and real-life fighting, and used the Mars sword fighting style to push forward roughly.
The slaughter queen is pushed out.
He barely manages to block the slash of the Mukho Sword and the powerful strike of Mjolnir, and steps back.
His face was distorted.
That hideous and disgusting face was crumpled up like a pile of scrap metal, and was spewing out anger.
“You little rat!”
The end is coming.
I instinctively focused my consciousness on the armed group.
An item that was deliberately not used in front of the Empress of Slaughter.
The shotgun and sniper rifle that he usually carries in his holster are cumbersome, but he carries them on his back.
Kwaang!
Clash again.
Masamune was blocked by my aegis.
Meanwhile, the silent sword passed over the Empress of Massacre, scratching her cheek.
Kagagagang!
The sword energy rips through the body, but it doesn’t cause much damage, either because of the Empress of Slaughter’s body adaptation or because she used a good alloy.
“How dare you!”
He rushes in, even ignoring defense.
Head-on.
The artificial eye aperture opened wide as if he was extremely angry.
A mechanical prosthesis that emits streams of blue flame.
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.
Hurrruk!
Breathes fire.
Blood-red flames like a flamethrower.
Hellfire.
A tremendous amount of magical power was consumed as it struck the Empress of Slaughter.
“This is nothing!”
The slaughter queen endured.
Come straight into the flames, into the fires of hell.
The artificial eye in the aperture emitted a cold light.
It seems like he thought I had used a hidden trick.
Wrong.
Hellfire was just a smokescreen, the real thing was somewhere else.
He brushed his left hand against the gauntlet.
Mjolnir disappears into the armored house as if sucked in.
Instead, what you can hold in your hand is a leaf that is as delicate as a flower petal and as sharp as a fly’s blade.
Thrown.
With throwing characteristics.
Towards the slaughtering empress who has come right up to our noses.
“uh…….”
Mistletoe leaves.
Mistiltein’s divine weapon was pierced into the slaughter queen’s chest.
The slaughter queen who stops with a jerk.
The magic circuit is broken.
The untouchable, transparent magic light that had been covering his entire body was seen breaking and cracking.
A golden opportunity.
He took a step forward and slashed his sword in a long stroke.
It was one movement from the beginning.
All of the hellfire manifestations, throwing, and slashing.
From my experience in the game, I knew that the Empress of Slaughter would be in a 0.3 second stun when her invincibility was broken.
Crunch!
I cut my wrist.
The hand holding the knife rises.
“Kwaaak!”
And a creepy scream.
Mixed with machine sounds.
It’s a shame if it ends like this.
The Empress of Massacre is also a Sword Master.
If I let my guard down because my hand is cut off and I lose my sword, the hand wrapped in a sword will dig out my heart.
Kuung!
He was hit in the torso.
[Real Fighting][Strong Strike][Charge] are applied to make the Empress of Slaughter spurt blood.
We move on to the next attack.
[Shield Strike][Divine Power][Holy Light] and struck the chest with the aegis.
The Empress of Slaughter flies into the distance as the silvery shield strikes like a hammer.
last.
The left hand that had brushed against the armor threw Mjolnir.
This trait set is [Throw][Lightning][Divine].
Mjolnir, transformed into a lightning spear, pierced the Empress of Slaughter.
It explodes right up to the point where the heart is.
A condensed bolt of lightning exploded and the torso was blown away.
The limbs were torn off and scattered, and all that was left was a round head.
“Ha, hahaha.”
A grotesque head with its entire face replaced with alloy, and prosthetics installed in place of eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
It rolled around and stopped in front of me.
The slaughter queen was still alive even after being in that state.
“Kill him.”
The artificial eye diaphragm trembles as if it is broken.
Didn’t refuse.
Kwajik!
He struck down the silent sword.
A black blade pierced through the alloy skull.
With that.
Episode 1 final boss, the Empress of Slaughter, is completely dead.
