155. Lightsaber (3)
“I have entered Cheonmu High School’s Gwangcheon Road.”
After entering the hidden dungeon, no, the hidden gateway, the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
—… … This is pretty amazing. Indeed, is it a place where the immortals are hidden?
Damcheonwu admired the blade of the Blood Heaven Demon Sword.
It was worth it.
A bright halo of light warmly surrounds the surroundings, the floor is made of clouds, and pink petals flutter in places.
Mureungdowon (武陵桃源).
The impression of this hidden stage called Gwangcheonro felt like a kind of utopia.
However, Gwangcheonro, a hidden stage, had a mysterious part even aside from its splendid appearance.
It was the kind of mystery I had experienced before.
The place invited by the God of Proof in the 11th floor ordeal also had a heterogeneous mysticism like Gwangcheonro.
Should I say that I feel divinity?
This aura, which could not be clearly defined, was certainly the same as that felt by the gods.
“… … Divinity?”
In fact, Dam Chun-wu seemed to agree as if he felt the same way.
-That’s the correct answer. It seems that the creator of Cheonmugo secretly created a place like this to contain the divinity. I wish there was a place like this… … .
“… … Aren’t there any rumors about the Gwangcheon Road in Moorim?”
―In the first place, the entry conditions are atrocious, and even if you enter this place, do you think you will be able to survive? No, even if he survived, he wouldn’t say what he got out of this place.
“That is also true.”
―But I can tell you one thing for sure.
“… … ?”
―In the original Murim history, those who reached this position would have died without exception.
“There are no restrictions imposed on the realm, so why do you assume they are all dead?”
-Simple. This is because it is almost impossible for Murim people to pass through this ordeal itself.
After saying that, Damcheonwu immediately dropped the blade and pointed at a certain point with the Bloodcheon Demon Sword.
and.
-Look. Do you really think that is the gateway through which the Murim people can pass?
Soon after seeing the point he was pointing at, I frowned.
overpass.
Other than that, I couldn’t find a suitable replacement for this structure.
It looks like the one I saw at the last gate of the 7th floor ordeal… … .
Perhaps more difficult than that, the bridge made of clouds was shaking wildly and losing its shape little by little.
Like a time limit, do you set a time limit for using your legs?
After guessing the intention, I felt how malicious the creator of this structure was.
That would be too… … .
This is because the bridge made of clouds disappeared in just a few seconds.
It was clear that it would have been difficult to use the overpass even if he had jumped on the bridge as soon as he came to Gwangcheon-ro.
But I didn’t care.
I could use the steel wings anyway, and I was wearing the boots of the wind spirit.
There are many ways to move through the air, so it’s not a gateway that means much to me.
“It’s definitely not an ordinary gateway.”
It was clear that the level of difficulty was considerable, but it was difficult to understand why Damcheonwu was making a fuss.
When asked about it honestly, Dam Chun-wu replied with a tone of absurdity.
—… … No matter how much you train your martial arts, do you think humans will be able to fly through the air? I don’t know the challenger, but it’s hard for a Moorim person to fly through the air.
“That’s true, but I don’t think there’s any way to fly at all.”
―There should be, but martial arts related to aerial maneuvers are difficult to learn. In general, what do you think you’ll need to move in the air?
It didn’t take long to come up with an answer.
It was because he had a way of using the wings of steel and the boots of the wind spirit to some extent about airborne maneuvers.
“It is common to artificially manipulate the wind to float, or to create a foothold in the air using supernatural powers.”
―As far as I’ve seen it… … . yes, it’s as you said The art of flying through the air usually works that way. But that’s the problem.
Damcheonwu continued as if he was sorry.
―Whether it is precisely manipulating the wind or making a platform in the air. It is not a level that can be reached easily by Moorim people who train their bodies to the limit.
Then he murmured in a tone as if lamenting.
—… … It doesn’t seem to matter that much to you.
After hearing that far, I could understand why Gwangcheon Road was not known.
‘The entrance conditions are also atrocious, and even the passage conditions are vicious, so it means that their existence itself is not known at all.’
It’s a pity that there is no information that can be obtained in advance about the ordeal… … .
Anyway, as Damcheonwu explained, it didn’t matter much if it was a gateway like rat poison to the Murim people.
That would be too… … .
「The authority skill ‘Steel Wings’ is activated.」
It is because I have the ability to maneuver in the air that the Murim people do not have.
Chow!
Right away, I spread my steel twin wings and flew along the afterimage left by the viaduct.
「The skill ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’ is activated.」
「The skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 70%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – 7/7」

Wedge liquid—!
As he used several skills, his speed rose steeply.
「Wind Spirit’s Boots (A+) exclusive effect, ‘Way of the Wind’ is activated.」
Without stopping there, activating the wind spirit’s boots also increased her acceleration.
To the extent that the surrounding scenery seemed to be distorted by the increased speed.
There were even added stats limited to the 17th floor trials, so it was no different from speed beyond the limit.
‘They say it’s a gateway hidden by Shinseon, but it doesn’t seem to pose a threat to the challenger.’
At this point, the gateway itself, called Gwangcheon-ro, seemed absurdly easy.
But that was only for a moment.
keying… … !
Instinct set off an alarm at the disparate noise that mingled with the sound of the wind filling my ears.
I immediately twisted my body without thinking about it.
But is that not enough?
Chow!
A belated beam of light penetrated my thigh, and I quickly slowed down my flight.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.」
The wound healed right away, but the horror running down the back of his neck could not be erased.
It was worth it.
It’s limited to trials on the 17th floor, but I’m in a state where I’ve stacked several stat-up buffs, but I can’t believe I got my legs pierced like this… … .
To be honest, I couldn’t even jokingly say that I would have been safe if this had passed my head.
‘Could it be that it has an effect like ignoring the endurance value?’
I tried to think of what the sudden beam of light could be, but… … .
The consideration could not last long.
Gee-!
I raised my head at the disparate sound I heard again, and soon I laughed out of embarrassment.
“I’m really going to turn… … .”
The moment a red dotted line runs through your body, as if you were pointing at an enemy with a laser pointer.
I realized it when I saw a flashing light from above, as if I was about to be struck down at any moment.
The fact that the gateway called Gwangcheon-ro is a gateway that can never be taken lightly.
– Ha ha ha! You’re finally struggling properly! good looking… … . Big hum. No, it will be a good experience!
Dam Chun-wu’s kkanjokdae wanted to keep his mouth shut, but he couldn’t afford it.
Keying-!
“… … .”
Looking at dozens of lights pouring down, I gnawed my teeth.
‘Damn it.’
Somehow, I regretted looking down on the gateway called Gwangcheon-ro.
***
With the intention of breaking through the gateway as quickly as possible, he generously used his mana.
It was because the ray of light that casually penetrated even the overwhelming durability was definitely dangerous.
Being able to die is also a problem, but above all, I was alerted to the fact that the abilities that would act as a hidden number could be consumed.
‘It’s like the exclusive effect of advance defense inherent in the bracelet, and it’s difficult when something like Last Resistance is activated.’
They had something in common, like the bracelet of an unknown god, the final resistance, or a spare life.
And all of these abilities are triggered when you receive a ‘mortal wound’.
This means that a spare life is lost when a vital point is hit by a beam of light.
So it was right to get out of this place quickly, even if it consumes some magic power.
「The authority ‘Quick Magic Recharge’ is activated.」
In fact, it was more so because it could be filled with as much mana as you like.
However, the gateway to Gwangcheon-ro was tougher than I thought.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.」
Kwaaang-!
A roar erupted at the same time as the shield stained red blocked the beam, and as if they had been waiting for it, the lights continued to fall from the sky.
Kwagwagwang—!
2nd, 3rd, 4th… … .
It took a while to block the ensuing offensive with a shield.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is broken, making it impossible to reflect the accumulated damage.」
It was an unpleasant phrase I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Now that the shield was on cooldown, I had to move my body to dodge the beam.
But even that has not been easy.
「According to the divine area effect ‘Strength’, all divine attacks follow until they hit.」
It is because the red dotted line shot like a laser pointer was branded, and a ray of light followed it.
As I watched more and more streaks of light follow me, I became dumbfounded and laughed.
‘Isn’t this something that will kill you unconditionally?’
Even while laughing at this absurdity, there were already three or four lines of light.
In other words, if you leave it as it is, one day the number will grow to an extent that you can’t handle.
Before that, I tried to pass through the gate, but since I couldn’t see the end, I didn’t think I would be able to shake off this pursuit in a short time.
If the Murim people had challenged this gateway, they would all die without exception.
However, I was a challenger, not a Murim person.
There were still several cards that could be used.
‘It can’t be helped.’
If you don’t have teeth, you live with your gums… … .
No matter what, the thing about hitting is that it disappears as long as you hit it somewhere.
Then, even if it’s not a counterattack shield, wouldn’t it be enough to put a target comparable to it?
「Authority ‘Blood Thousand Heart’ is activated.」
「The skill ‘Blood Seeker’ is activated.」
With the Blood Magic Artifact learned from Damcheonwu, magical energy is replaced with a huge amount of blood… … .
Then, as a seeker of fresh blood, he pulled it out and activated the engraving skill embedded in the blood demon sword.
「Activate the <Engraving Skill: Strengthen Blood (C+)> of the True Blood Demon Sword.」
The skill obtained from the Vampire Count was activated, and the assorted fresh blood quickly hardened like a shield.
Of course, even though it was mixed with blood reinforcement, the strength was difficult even compared to the counterattack shield.
However, although the strength of the shield formed by Seeker of Blood was weak, there was no cooldown.
therefore… … .
‘If my magic doesn’t decrease, my blood won’t decrease, so I can use my shield as much as I want.’
This was an infinite defense posture close to a kind of cheat key.
Of course, even this wasn’t perfect, so I had to concentrate… … .
At least for now, I didn’t have to throw away the precious paddle because it was pierced by that beam of light.
– Whoa. I never thought I’d already use the Blood Demon Artifact like that. Were you good enough?
While listening to Dam Chun-wu’s laugh-filled praise, I accelerated and activated more exclusive effects.
「The Soft Iron Pendant (B) exclusive effect ‘Steel Protection’ is activated.」
「The property of absorbing 10% of all physical damage dwells in the skin.」
「Vampire Count’s Old Tailcoat (A-) exclusive effect, consumes blood to create a shield.」
Indeed, they were exclusive effects that had been used for a long time.
In fact, the protective shield, which could be said to be an exclusive effect of the tailcoat, could now be used endlessly.
As far as magic power allows.
But even so, it was not enough to pass this gateway.
-But that’s not enough. I bet you know. This is not a fundamental solution.
It was just a means of protecting the body.
As time passed, the beams of light became more numerous, more intense, and chasing them faster than before.
A situation where you don’t know how far you can go to pass through this gateway.
In the end, I had to come up with a fundamental solution by following Dam Chun-wu’s words.
and.
“… … Use all secondary skills. I guess we’ll have to fight head-to-head.”
The fundamental solution to this was one I knew well.
-hot! Are you serious? There’s no opponent, so a head-to-head match?
“Why do you say there are no opponents?”
you know
Things that pierce down beams of light like pouring down hailstones from the sky.
If that isn’t something to be fought against, then what is it?
Dam Chun-wu said as if he had read that thought.
—… … Could it be that what I think is correct? You’re going to break this gateway itself?
“You know, what are you asking?”
―It is a realm created by Shinseon. It cannot be easily destroyed.
“That’s what you need to know for yourself.”
I had already thought about whether or not I could break it.
However, no matter how you think about it, the odds of winning were not low.
―You have to try it to find out, la… … . Ha ha ha! Yes, that’s right too! You know how to say nice things!
Damcheonwu said that as if he was having fun, and then he did what he had to do quietly.
「The True Blood Demon Sword’s Soul Ego skill, <Magical Explosion (A+)>, is activated.」
“The level of mana in the body rises.”
「The True Blood Demon Sword’s Soul Ego skill <Thought Acceleration (A-)> is activated.」
“It accelerates thinking.”
「The Soul Ego skill <Small Heart (B+)> of True Blood Demon Sword is activated.」
“A virtual magical organ that assists the movement of magical power is created.”
The mana flowing through the circuit pulsates like an explosion, and the newly formed mana organ controls the mana as if to assist it.
These were Dam Chunwoo’s auxiliary skills that he had experienced before.
As if watching a slow video, the world slows down while the cognitive world expands again.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
「The user’s concentration increases seven times.」
As soon as I was ready for battle, I focused my consciousness upwards.
The sky was still flashing with the momentum to pour out beams of light, and I slowly raised my consciousness.
「The skill ‘Star Light Starlight’ is activated.」
The moment when the swords held in both hands were endowed with starlight that seemed as if they would explode immediately.
By raising the holy power, the energy of the holy light condensed on the blade was wrapped around it to control its activation.
Should I say it’s a lightsaber that can be used without using a counterattack shield?
It was a technique that was inspired by the holy light bestowed on the holy sword in the previous trials.
However, as expected, this could not be maintained for as long as the holy light used on the 16th floor.
The Holy Light itself had the property of constantly moving and radiating energy.
‘That’s why it’s difficult to maintain it for a long time.’
Rather, a more powerful force would be released as a recoil that trapped this energy.
But it didn’t matter.
No, it could have been better.
It was the technology called the lightsaber that was aimed at that point.
‘To be honest, even this would be a great power, but it might not be enough.’
「The skill ‘Pacheon 破天’ is activated.」
「The limit on what can be broken disappears.」
The ability to destroy anything resided in the holy light that wrapped around the twin swords.
At that, I immediately changed the flight path and flew quickly into the sky.
Whoa!
In the sky, dozens of beams of light shot out as if they had been waiting… … .
The reason to avoid and block the beam of light was now completely gone.
‘Now is the time to see the end.’
Then, at the moment when the twin swords in both hands were drawn from the bottom to the top.
The divine shell that had confined the holy light was broken, and the energy was soon released.
Kwaaang-!
Like a wild horse unbridled, the starlight galloped into the sky, and in the aftermath, as if the sound had disappeared, only vibrations were felt in my ears.
and… … .
Soon after the vibration disappears and the sound returns intact.
Clink-!
When I raised my head at the sound of glass windows breaking, the result of the lightsaber caught my eye.
“… … .”
Suddenly, the sky split in half, opening a black slit.
As if space itself had been severed.
***
At first, I thought it was some kind of optical illusion that the gaps were revealed as if the space was split.
But it wasn’t.
「Achievement ‘Dimension Cutting’ has been achieved.」
“All stats increase by +4.”
The achievement of cutting the dimension was accomplished, as if to indicate that the dimension itself was actually cut.
In other words, it doesn’t just look like the sky has split on the outside, it means that the real dimension has split.
However, it was unknown how important the severing of the dimension was.
I’m just guessing that it was a huge achievement as all stats rose by +4.
‘Did you succeed?’
There was no longer a ray of light in the cracked sky.
It was speculated that the ability to pour out the baptism of light had disappeared.
It was also that he aimed for that in the first place and randomly fired a lightsaber into the sky.
Kururureung… … !
The clouds were being sucked in through the cracks in the split dimension, and messages continued to emerge.
「Breaking Heaven Sword destroys things that are difficult to break, and the grade increases to A+ rank (10,000/10,000).」
「The grade value reaches the growth potential point, and the item grows from A+ grade to S- grade.」
I didn’t learn much through this gateway, but it wasn’t nothing at all.
「Satisfying special conditions.」
“I broke the Heavenly Road of Heavenly Armed Forces.”
“The lightsaber recognized the existence of the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
The trials on the 17th floor are also closely related to divinity.
and.
“The lightsaber festival is interesting to the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
Somehow, the deity that was interested in me increased again.
「The lightsaber system grants challenger Han Seong-yoon the right to take the succession test.」
That much was certain.
