Episode 174: The Sword of the Nephilim -2-
You can’t combine them right away.
Like the top-tier Gunslinger trait, the Sword Master trait is also obtained by meeting certain conditions.
Difficulty level quests, completing specific dungeons, earning achievements, etc.
If you use paid items, you don’t need all that.
“Let’s go down.”
The sky ship is shrinking.
It gradually shrinks from the size of an aircraft carrier to the size of a destroyer.
The only thing that doesn’t change in the midst of all this is the bridge.
I came out after being on the bridge for a while and found myself inside my mansion.
Even if the aircraft carrier has a hard time, the destroyer can anchor.
After the red cougar had escaped and become the size of a toy boat, it went into my pocket, its haven.
Choi Seon-su and Kim Cheol-kwon were there, having heard the news.
“Your Majesty the Swordsman! Are you here?”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for your hard work. Has everything been fine?”
I’ve been away for almost two weeks.
Fortunately, both of their faces were fine.
“Things are going smoothly. The redevelopment of Guro-dong is on track, and the redevelopment of Daerim-dong has also begun.”
“I guess the government cooperated well?”
“The redevelopment of Daerim-dong was something that both the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the government had been hoping for.”
“The gangs?”
“Iron Fist used a lot of force.”
“We received some support from the Eastern Army because the terrorist alliance was discovered. It was easy thanks to the soldiers. Haha!”
That must have been it.
If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know, but after the terrorist league was discovered, there were no gangs or anything.
The residents would have also cooperated.
I nodded my head in satisfaction.
“You both worked hard. I’ll give you a bonus soon.”
“No! My life belongs to you, Mukho Sword Lord! You saved my life twice, and now you’re giving me a bonus! I already got it in advance, so you don’t need to give me more.”
“The same goes for me. If it weren’t for you, Mukho Sword Master, I would have died a few months ago. And I was able to reach level 5 thanks to you, so I couldn’t ask for more.”
“Okay, I got it.”
I said this, but I plan to take care of it a little.
Both are capable.
Choi Seon-su is doing a good job on the sunny side, and Kim Cheol-kwon is doing a good job on the shady side.
It’s thanks to these two that I can devote myself to training and be away for weeks at a time.
If something comes, something must go.
I guess we can give money to Choi Seon-su and a new build to Kim Cheol-kwon.
“Director Choi. This is good, I had something to do. Buy me a sword.”
“Is it a sword?”
Choi Seon-su looks at my waist with a puzzled look.
A silent sword neatly tucked into the belt.
Of course, I wasn’t the one who bought it to use.
“By type. Western-style longswords, two-handed swords, Japanese swords, traditional round swords, Chinese long swords, shamshirs, scimitars, kukris, etc. They have to be all different types. They don’t have to be magic swords, they just have to be handmade by craftsmen. If they’re factory-made, they have to be top-notch.”
“Oh, I guess you didn’t write it yourself.”
“Oh. I don’t need the sword anymore. I’ll use it once and throw it away. Just take care of the money.”
“How much do you need?”
“One thousand species. No more, no less, exactly.”
Choi opened his mouth slightly.
There was more than I thought.
It can’t be helped.
There are exactly 1,000 types of swords that exist in Arcane Seoul.
It wouldn’t be much different in this world.
“You’ll have to bring every knife, every sword, whether it’s a kitchen knife or something else. It won’t be easy, but Chief Choi can do it.”
“Okay. How long do I have to do this?”
“As soon as possible. You don’t have to bring them all at once, just send them as you collect them.”
“Okay, let’s get started right now.”
“Player. I’ll help you.”
“Oh my, then thank you.”
Choi Seon-su and Kim Cheol-kwon hurriedly got into the car and left.
Seo Woo-jin looks at me and asks.
“Teacher. Why black?”
“I need it to become a sword master.”
“Yes? Sword Master?”
Seo Woo-jin and Janet’s eyes grow wide.
Janet has a particularly dumbfounded look on her face.
“Teacher, weren’t you level 6? Shouldn’t a Sword Master be at least level 7?”
Seo Woo-jin shook his head.

“No. It’s rare, but there are those who become a Sword Master at level 6. During the Goryeo Dynasty, Cheok Jun-gyeong also became a Sword Master at level 6… … Oh, are you trying to do it like Yeon Gaesomun?”
“Yeon Gaesomun?”
“He’s famous for becoming a sword master by sharpening swords. He says he broke a thousand swords and when only five remained, he completed the swordsmithing.”
Has that ever happened?
I have a rough idea of what it is.
The reason I asked for a thousand swords.
In the game, when you collect six characteristics, a temporary button appears.
[Generate Health]
When you press this, the sword you were holding will glow and then shatter.
There are no exceptions.
If there is no indestructible property like the Silent Sword, everything will be shattered.
A warning window would pop up, but users who didn’t read the text would blow up expensive weapons and have to contact customer service to get them back on track.
If you break 1,000 types of swords, you will receive an achievement.
[Break the Heavenly Sword]
This achievement is one of the conditions for acquiring the Master of the Sword trait.
This is much easier than doing quests or completing dungeons.
All you need is money.
It takes a lot of time, but it’s nothing special.
“That’s right. That’s what I’m going to do.”
“It won’t be easy. My ancestors tried several times, but failed. They said there must be special conditions. Or some special martial arts.”
“I know. I just do it under certain conditions.”
“Me, really?”
Seo Woo-jin swallowed hard.
When you call me Sword Master, I feel greedy.
“Just keep doing what you’re doing now. If you keep doing what you’re doing now, you’ll easily become a Sword Master at level 7.”
“Still… … .”
“I can teach you my methods, but then the First Sword you worked so hard to learn will be erased from your magic circuits. It will cause a magic conflict.”
“Oh, really?”
“You go the regular way. The regular way. Everyone has their own way. There’s no need to be obsessed with being a level 6 sword master. It’s better for you to start at level 7 and become a sword master.”
“I guess what you say is right, teacher. I will do that.”
Seo Woo-jin bites his lower lip as he looks at me and Janet.
Judging from her expression, it seems Janet has become a level 5 sword master and feels competitive with him.
Maybe, maybe just maybe.
It could be an inferiority complex.
I burst out laughing.
It’s ridiculous that the son of a rich family, Seo Woo-jin, who became level 5 as soon as he woke up and is now level 6, is jealous of Baek So-rin and Janet.
He raised his hand and patted my shoulder.
“Don’t compare her to Janet. Janet is a natural swordsman. From a warrior’s perspective, she was a sword master from level 0.”
“That, that is… … .”
“The important thing is not the sword. Does everyone who knows how to use the Aura Blade become a Sword Master? No. The spirit and the soul must become one. You, from what I can see, have impeccable spirit and energy, but your spirit is weak.”
“I feel it too.”
Could it be because I suffered from fever since I was young?
The body is strong and the magic power is outstanding, but the mind cannot keep up.
I slept soundly in bed for the first time in a long time.
After cooking a proper meal myself, I went down to the training room.
On one side, there was a pile of swords.
Items sent by Choi Seon-su.
First, I picked up an oriental straight sword similar to a silent sword.
“Whew.”
Take a deep breath.
[Sword Expert][Flash][Single Moon]
[Sword Unity][Sword Energy][Sword Block]
My traits are still like this.
It’s a simple game, but I don’t know what to do.
First, I raised my magic power.
Hold your breath and push in with the sword.
Step by step, like stacking blocks, or like building a sand castle.
‘ah.’
Then it occurred to me.
My magic circuit.
If you look closely, you can see that the six layers of magical circuits are connected and resonating.
As branches intertwine with each other.
Like layering spider webs on top of each other to create a larger spider web.
A strange energy is created there.
A power that is as fierce as wildfire and as bright as lightning.
I pushed it all the way into the sword.
The sword shines.
A white crystal-like thing grows with a flash of light.
“omg!”
“Is this really possible?”
Seo Woo-jin and Janet, who were sparring next to him, are startled.
But that can’t happen anymore.
Damn it!
Before the white crystals could grow properly.
An eerie cracking sound rang out.
At the same time, the straight sword broke into dozens of pieces and fell down.
Without any strength, the metal itself was completely burned away.
“Ah… … What a pity.”
“I thought it would work.”
“If it happens in one go, I won’t have to ask Director Choi to come and inspect it.”
There’s a long way to go.
This time I picked up a Japanese sword.
Re-injecting magic.
As expected, destruction.
Re-injecting magic.
This time, destruction.
It wasn’t easy.
It wasn’t a good idea to just blindly inject magic power.
Every time I raised my magic power, I had to properly understand the magic power generated by the six magic circuits resonating with the six characteristics.
No, it had to go beyond just understanding it, it had to be embodied perfectly.
‘It might fail.’
Let’s wake up.
If you go all the way to Germany and eat the Nephilim’s sword and don’t receive the inheritance, what’s the point?
It’s not like I’m making porridge and giving it to the dog.
Becoming a Swordmaster at level 7 and obtaining the Nephilim Sword isn’t a bad thing, but it’s different from doing it at level 6.
My plan was to get Kalaratree just before reaching level 7.
Acquire all three sword techniques and Thor training techniques at level 6.
So, you take a reconstructive elixir that reflects all of these characteristics.
If I succeed, I become stronger, and if I fail, my level 7 self becomes weaker.
‘I’ll get it done.’
I am still strong.
But when we think of the saint waiting at the end of Episode 3 and the ancient god who will descend, we cannot stop here.
I need to get stronger.
More more more.
It’s the same whether you try to return to the original world or try to subdue and conquer this world.
“Whew.”
I took up the sword.
Lift it up as if stabbing it into the air.
And then inject magic power.
Kwajik!
The sword is broken.
Repeat countless times.
He picks up anything he can get his hands on and breaks it, and he carries on breaking it.
Almost mindless.
Seo Woo-jin and Janet are saying something next to me, but I can’t hear them.
I didn’t even try to listen.
Even without any meditative qualities, I just sink deep into my inner self, contemplating the magical circuits and immersing myself in the surging energy.
Throwing my consciousness into my unconscious.
Then an image is formed.
image.
Rough and blunt.
A single sword.
It came into my mind.
“flaw…….”
A groan comes out on its own.
Your hands get faster.
The magic power explodes as if it had been waiting.
He holds the sword with both hands, not just one.
Break it with your right hand and shatter it with your left hand.
Hold a shattering sword in each eye.
The gaze is directed towards the white sword in the heart.
How much time has passed?
I think I caught a glimpse of Choi Seon-su.
There was also Kim Cheol-kwon who bowed his head respectfully.
Kim Magic and Kim Saje passed by.
But I don’t take it to heart.
There is only one thing I hold.
It was a sword.
“ah.”
The realization struck me like lightning.
A great shock shakes me.
The six horsepower circuits break down and reassemble as if dancing.
That was a sword too.
The magical circuitry imprinted on my body is also in the form of a sword.
The realization that was stuck in my head was also shaped like a sword.
I myself became a sword, forging a sword with my body, my mind, and even my soul.
Chae-Ang!
Draw your sword.
It’s the last sword.
Silent sword.
The 1,000 swords that Choi Seon-su had collected were all used up in no time.
He extended his sword.
The black blade reflects the light of the magic lamp and gleams like a tiger’s fang.
I held that light in my heart.
He takes out the sword of imagination just as it is.
A transparent white sword grows.
It is similar to the lightsabers commonly seen in science fiction movies, but has a texture that seems to be filled with starlight and white flames inside a transparent crystal.
Covers the sword neither slowly nor quickly.
It was as if a new blade, a new sword, had been created on the sword.
The people surrounding me looked at the silent sword and the white energy as if they were possessed.
“Healthy… … .”
Evidence of a top-level superhuman.
It is a skill that can only be properly handled if you reach level 7.
“Coolook!”
He suddenly vomited blood.
Just one second.
I suffered internal injuries from using the sword in that short period of time.
“teacher!”
“Your Majesty the Silent Sword!”
“Are you okay?”
The people who had gathered rushed in.
Even the best player opens the safe and takes out the highest level healing potion.
No, that’s not it.
Just changing the characteristics is enough.
He waved his hand while equipped with immortality, revival, and regeneration.
“It’s okay. Leave it alone.”
“It looks like you’ve been injured. You need to get treatment quickly!”
“It’ll get better after a little rest. Put that aside. It’d be a waste to use it now.”
Choi Heo-seon hesitates but puts the potion into the safe.
It will be really okay.
Me reflected in the eyes of the best player.
Because the face that had turned pale has already returned to normal.
‘The magical power consumption is enormous.’
Just now, only the owner of the sword was equipped and used, so that’s why.
[Master of the Sword][Strength of the Giant][Magic Soul]
[Silence Invincible Sword Technique][Thor’s Training Technique][Air Raid]
If you had equipped a normal trait set like this, you would have lasted 3 seconds.
‘But it only lasts 3 seconds.’
What if you also used sub-specs like Mana Recovery, Mana Absorption, and Deep Breathing?
Even if it increases a little, it is difficult to exceed 5 seconds.
As such, the sword and aura blade consumed a huge amount of magical power.
‘It’s best to use it as a spleen.’
You can start fighting by swinging the sword after reaching level 7.
But it’s okay if you don’t use the sword.
There is a huge difference between a sword expert using his sword skills and a sword master using his sword skills.
“Congratulations, teacher!”
“A sword master at level 6!”
“If the reporters find out, there’ll be chaos?”
“I don’t plan on revealing it yet. Let’s keep it a secret for the time being.”
“Hahaha! Of course! Of course! I’ll keep my mouth shut!”
Congratulatory messages poured in, but I just took them in stride.
For some, becoming a Sword Master is a lifelong dream and ultimate goal.
But to me, it’s just a stepping stone.
Could this be the second step after Mars’s gladiator method?
And now.
It is time to step on the steps created by the swordsmanship that is the strongest in Arcane Seoul in terms of attack power, which can be called the ultimate swordsmanship.
