A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 77

Deep-rooted tree (1)

Thinking back, Kyle was dragged around by Harang from beginning to end.

“Foldon Knight Naridel. “I will punish you for interfering in the ranking war between blood relatives.”

Equipment, swordsmanship, strength, speed.

Although Kyle was excellent in all aspects, he was inevitably defeated due to his lack of combat sense, strategy, and bold decision.

“Naridel Paul Kaladan orders you to follow the commander’s orders and subdue demons at the ‘Wall of the World’ for the next year.”

No matter how good your reaction speed is, watching the ground collapse and the wall collapse with a single 6-star sword strike would have chilled your stomach and slowed down your movements, but Harang didn’t do that.

His strong mentality did not break down under any threats from his opponents.

Harang was able to avoid speeds that were so fast that they were barely visible to the eye with anticipation and concentration, and at the same time, he showed off his ability to predict his movements and psychology and even come up with a strategy!

“We inform you that you will not be able to receive help from any blood relatives during this process, and that your status as a ‘Polden Knight’ will be confiscated for one year and that you will not be able to exercise any rights.”

Kuuk! Na Riedel clenched her fists. She squeezed so hard that her nails dug into her palms and her blood dripped.

I invested so much, but then I failed and ended up being judged by the blood world… … .

“This concludes the judgment of Naridel Paul Calladan. Prepare quickly and head to the wall of the world. Next, Kyle Paul Calladorn. from now on.”

Kyle was also judged by the blood world because he secretly borrowed equipment during the ranking match.

He stood at the judgment table looking very haggard and haggard.

Even though he invested so much, he was defeated in the end, and even prepared to kill his opponent, but instead, his opponent saved him.

Rather, I was so embarrassed and humiliated that it was worse than dying.

In the future, no matter what achievements Kyle makes or what great achievements he leaves behind in history.

Today’s events will be remembered for a long time and will never be forgotten.

“ha… … .”

Naridel, who had left the referee’s court, did not care about Kyle’s worries at all. This was because, no matter what disgrace he had suffered, he immediately felt that his treatment was unreasonable.

I felt like I was going to die.

Not only was his reputation shattered, but Kyle’s defeat was the same as his own defeat.

Her age is in her late 20s.

I will be 30 next year.

Because the age gap with Harang was quite large, a direct battle of rankings was not possible.

So, even if a rumor spreads that he was jealous and afraid of his blood relatives who were less than half as old as him, he persuaded his own younger brother to attack him by lending him equipment, so he wouldn’t have anything to say… … .

How humiliating was this?

Even more, because of this duel, public opinion about Harang’s talent, which was only half-confident, became clear.

The rumor wasn’t widely spread, but everyone in the know knew it. That Harang is a 3-star magic user.

In other words, if magic had been used in this duel, it would have been easier to win.

People had no choice but to misunderstand.

He would have won the duel more quickly and surely if he had used magic, but he wanted to finish the ranking purely with swordsmanship.

That’s how you think!

Of course, the reason Harang did not use magic was because his skills were not yet good enough to use it at the same time as swordsmanship in actual combat… … People had no way of knowing that fact.

“sister. “You’ve finally come out.”

“… … .”

As I was walking out of the judgment hall under the watchful eye and escort of the knights, a boy who was waiting in the hallway on the other side approached me.

It was Paul Calladun.

“… … “Do you have anything to do?”

When Naridel asked with a venomous expression, Harang shrugged his shoulders and denied it.

“Actually, I was waiting for Brother Kyle. However, you can’t avoid your seat when your sister is passing by. “I should at least say hello.”

“under… … “Yes, it means you will tease me until the end.”

“Are you going to tease me until the end? What does it mean? “I think it’s almost my first time talking to you.”

They say this, but Harang also knows. What part of Naridel was so excited about?

Perhaps Harang thought that the reason he summoned only some of the Summon Mail was to criticize him and make fun of him.

‘You secretly supported Kyle with Summon Mail to defeat me, but I won without using Summon Mail.’

Harang did not reveal the truth.

It was silly until the end.

To hide your power? Of course, there were some elements of that as well.

A little bit, really.

About 1%.

The reasons for the other 99% were simple and clear.

‘If you do this, the other person will be more upset.’

A rare smile was drawn on Harang’s face.

He really rarely laughed heartily, and there was only one occasion that made him burst into laughter.

‘When I defeated the opponent who had ignored me with complete victory.’

Yes.

It is a lie to say that I did not intend to come to Naridel.

It’s a lie to say that you don’t know what teasing means. She was all fake, but at the same time, it was the best ceremony Harang could do.

Harang, who was really bad at expressing his emotions, had a dull personality as a professional gamer.

While other players made a big fuss and made a fuss even after a single win, Harang had a blank expression and only occasionally smiled even after winning.

However, is it because all players express their celebration by overusing signature signs like that?

In this way, Harang’s image of imprinting ‘defeat’ in the opponent with just a faint smile became another strong characteristic.

I could tell just by looking at Naridel’s expression. Rather than making a big fuss and celebrating, it’s more exciting to see them play it off and enjoy their victory quietly.

“Please go.”

As Harang and Naridel exchanged sharp glances, Naridel hurried his steps.

After a while, when Naridel completely disappeared, Harang leaned against the wall, brushing his hair behind his shoulder.

“… … “Harang!”

At that moment, Kyle was leaving the Blood World Judgment Hall after being sentenced.

“You bastard… … “Are you waiting for me?”

Harang is the same this time too.

“no. “I was waiting for Naridel, am I late?”

I let go of the pretense and smiled.

Among the 365 days a year, today was the day when Harang expressed his emotions the most, which was extremely rare.

* * *

‘Victory is sweet, defeat is bitter.’

Harang feels this pain differently.

No, it would be correct to say that I feel it several times more intensely than others.

‘Victory is pleasure, defeat is pain.’

He hated losing.

Because losing was truly a huge pain.

It was so painful that I felt it would be better to be hit with a stick.

‘I don’t want to lose.’

Harang’s running has never stopped due to his desire not to lose rather than his desire to win.

Harang, who returned to the training grounds of the Green White Palace, recalled the duel from before.

‘Many people misunderstand that I didn’t use magic.’

Not only Naridel, but most of the knights also thought that Harang won without using magic.

But that wasn’t right.

‘In this life-or-death situation, I have used enough magic. ‘To the point where it’s too much.’

For Harang, magic was just one of the tactical factors.

This means that even if you don’t necessarily use it, you can use it tactically.

Although he did not use magic during life or death, the fact that he is a ‘3-star magic user’ already means that the other party must prepare countermeasures against him.

From there, it means that Harang can gain a slight advantage both psychologically and tactically.

Just because the magic didn’t inflict enough damage doesn’t mean the magic didn’t do its job.

The opponent knew Harang’s magic and was thinking of a plan to use it.

Just this time it is like that.

If Kyle hadn’t known about Harang’s magic skills, would he have shown such a huge gap?

No way.

Because he knew Harang’s magic, he showed such a loophole.

As a result, Harang was able to hit Kyle with the Pungrang White Sword.

‘It’s very important that I know how to do a lot of things.’

Even if Kyle had known about Harang’s Pungrang Baekgeul, Harang would have prepared another sword technique.

Even if Kyle somehow came up with a countermeasure, Harang could go to the very end and use ‘Yongeon’, so if he somehow wants to win, he will definitely be able to win.

‘The more tactical factors, the better.’

Considering how threatening a player with a wide range of available champions was even in his days as a professional gamer, having as many tactical weapons as possible was ‘strength’ for Harang.

… … In other words, it also meant that it was very contradictory to Duke Kal-El and the warrior Kaladan’s pursuit of ‘pure human ability’.

so.

Harang will learn.

Is it really the right way to strengthen ‘pure power’ rather than ‘possessing more technology’ that you want to pursue?

As of now, it is clear that Duke Kal-El and the warrior Caladan have achieved much greater achievements than him.

Since there was no shame in learning the ways of those who went before him, Harang requested to meet the holy sword Terandal once again.

‘If I meet him again, I think I’ll gain some insight… … .’

Current time, 1pm.

Normally, I would have started training in the afternoon after finishing lunch. Since she is not in the military yet, Harang used this time to do personal training, and today is a special day.

“Master, I will take you inside.”

The place where the Holy Sword Terandal sleeps, the mortuary room.

It’s been 7 years since I came here. Harang, who visited the mortuary room after a long time, couldn’t help but be a little surprised, because the procedure for visiting this place and challenging Terandal was very detailed and elaborate.

This means that countless knights were waiting for blood relatives to come to the spiritual sword room at any time and challenge the holy sword… … The fact that Harang had no idea meant that there was no such blood relative until now.

“Am I the challenger that has been here for a while?”

“According to official records, you are the first challenger in 68 years, and the last challenger is His Highness the Duke.”

I thought so too.

“According to legend, if a descendant of Kaladan who has achieved a high level challenges the Holy Sword, he or she will be able to learn swordsmanship or gain enlightenment. So, our ancestors throughout history often looked for the holy sword Terandal when they were blocked by a wall.”

“Why are there no such challengers anymore?”

The driver answered that he was not sure, but when Harang arrived at the morgue room, he was able to roughly guess why the challenger had stopped walking.

High-level knights were waiting throughout the mortuary room, and they read and recorded everything that happened there.

In other words, if you challenge the Holy Sword and lose, a record of defeat will remain.

At best, I didn’t know what that meant, but I could understand it because it was said that when Duke Kal-El was in power, they were busy taking care of each other’s image.

Of course, all the blood relatives who only cared about their image were cut off by Duke Kal-El, and in the end, they were unable to take over Caladern.

‘You can only grow when you overcome defeat and not be afraid of it.’

Of course, Harang had no intention of losing today.

Rattling… … !!

The huge iron door of the mortuary room opens and Harang enters.

-Wow, it’s been a while. Kaladun heir boy! Much taller than then… … No, it’s grown up somehow! It’s like looking at Caladorn when she was young.

In the center of the mortuary room, a treasured sword of the Kaladan family called the Holy Sword welcomed him.

Of course, no one could hear that voice except Harang.

“… … .”

Harang did not answer properly.

No one here knows that Harang hears the voice of the Holy Sword.

This is because Duke Kal-El did not announce it to the public. Since Harang had no intention of showing off, he quietly pulled out his sword and pointed it at him.

-He’s completely quiet and you can’t read the emotions on his face, which is completely different from that guy from Calla Dungeon. It was fun to look at his face because he had a lot of skill and his facial expressions changed in various ways.

I had the illusion that the Holy Sword Terandal was smiling.

-Ever since that fearsome Kaladan descendant came to power, there were no challengers, so it was boring to deal with only children… … Good! Now, you came here to challenge me, right?

Harang nodded slightly as if not to be seen by the knights.

As if that was enough of an answer, pure white light swirled from the Holy Sword Terandal, and a knight wearing pure white armor materialized, aiming his sword at Harang.

-Yes, good! Let’s see how much your skills have grown, little Kaladun descendant!

Likewise, Harang, who aimed Cheongwolheun at him, took a deep breath, closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them.

Flash!

His eyes glowed brilliantly in silver, staring at Terandal.

“… … “I will learn something.”
