Episode 233. I have demon blood flowing through my veins, but I am not a devil (3)
Flash-!
The moment the flash of light collided with Adonis’ sword, a tremendous burst of light erupted.
As if he was trying to spit out all the light he had swallowed.
Tukwaang!!
Thud- thud- thud.
An ear-piercing explosion.
Little by little, pieces of stone fell from the ceiling, unable to withstand the force.
As expected, Adonis was unharmed.
‘Even though I’ve recently raised my stats… … it’s not enough to reach Adonis.’
Adonis is a 9-star knight.
As if to prove it, the dust settled and Adonis’s figure was gradually revealed.
Adonis’ body was in perfect condition, without a single blemish or speck of dust.
Only the five-colored fireworks I had sent were circling around Adonis.
“… … .”
Is it because of the power of [Ilseom], or because I saw the secret of the Leicester family, or because I can use it?
Adonis’ face was filled with shock.
‘Well, all three, I guess.’
Unlike [Sky Splitting], which was intentionally missed, [Ilseom] was fired towards Adonis.
It was an act that could be called an ‘attack’.
Why did you attack Adonis?
I also knew that Adonis, a 9-star knight, would not die from my attacks.
‘Because this is the strategy for defeating Adonis.’
To be precise, it can be said to be a ‘strategy to win Adonis’s heart’.
Adonis is actually an old man, not a child.
Adonis, who knew that his death was imminent, was looking for a child to take care of Victoria, and more broadly, a child who would work for the empire.
To nurture future generations. That is the purpose of Adonis.
‘In simple terms, I’m looking for a kid who can sprout.’
That’s why they attacked.
A child who boldly attacks the hero.
There is no kid in this world who can sprout as much as this kid.
“How can you do this… …!”
Of course, there was one little problem with this.
On the surface, the Leicester family is a rebellious family.
But you used that family’s swordsmanship in front of Adonis, the emperor’s sword?
I would have nothing to say even if my throat was cut off right away.
Still, the reason why I used [Ilseom] confidently.
‘Adonis was in the Holy Land when the House of Leicester fell.’
Adonis has nothing to do with it.
His family, the House of Cassel, may have been involved, but given Adonis’s character and wisdom, it is more likely that he would have insisted on a temporary delay in punishing the traitors.
This is not speculation. When playing a character who uses ‘Draw’ as his main skill in the game, the hidden piece is activated during the conversation with Adonis.
‘The Leicester family’s work was great. I want to see that beautiful blow again. It will be difficult now, but… ‘
– It raises the skill level of the swordsmanship by one level.
Not only does it make you lose yourself in thought while thinking of the Leicester family, it also raises the level of your skill?
Adonis means a man who has considerable favor with the Leicester family.
“Speak quickly! If you don’t, I will force you to open your mouth!”
It was no wonder that Adonis was furious when he used [Ilseom], which he thought he would never see again in front of him.
“Haha, it’s embarrassing to say this myself, but… … Even this guy is a genius.”
“……genius?”
“Yes. If you see any technique once, you can copy it.”
“What kind of nonsense is that… … .”
“By the way, this is something that Professor Caron has acknowledged, so you can check it out. Or, Adonis, you can test it yourself right now?”
He provoked Adonis by slightly holding out the holy sword.
My plan was as follows:
‘As soon as Adonis uses his secret weapon… … .’
Use the second secret of the Leicester family, [Moonlight], to deflect Adonis’ attack.
Imitate the secret technique used by Adonis with [Imitation of God] and strike once more.
‘There can be no counterattack as cool as this.’
After the exchange meeting, I asked Luna to imitate [Moonyoung].
It was at that moment that he was about to shock Adonis once again.
Push… … .
“… … ?”
There was a sound of a candle going out, and the flames of the sword blade that had been burning with five-colored flames lost their light and disappeared.
All I had left in my hands was an old sword handle.
The duration has expired.
I knew 180 seconds was short, but I couldn’t believe it was this short.
‘No, what if I quit now! Try a little harder! You damn parrot!’
Pitter-patter!
It was when I was tapping the handle of my sword. Static electricity was generated from the holy sword. And it was quite a large amount of static electricity.
Kkwaak!
A shock so strong it makes your body tremble.
But I couldn’t make a sound out of my mouth.
Because Adonis was right in front of me with his eyes wide open.
‘You might mistake this for a rejection reaction from the Holy Sword.’
I rolled my head, desperately enduring the pain.
Although the Holy Sword had lost its power, it was actually useless in the current situation.
‘It has already been proven that I am an ally and the master of the Holy Sword.’
All that remains is the ‘qualifications of a powerful person’ presented by Adonis.
There was no need for a holy sword to prove this.
Because you can imitate Adonis’s trick even with a tree branch.
While looking at Adonis like that, I was trying to determine the timing of using [Moonyoung].
“No, that’s enough. I’ve seen your skills.”
“Haha, is that so? What do you think? With this level of skill, I think it would be okay to have a holy sword?”
“No, isn’t it still not enough?”
Well… … that’s true.
The standard presented by Adonis is a minimum of 7 stars.
[Sky Splitting] and [Sunset] are rated as A-class thanks to the skill [Imitation of God], but they are not at the same level as that.
Because each of their attacks will have the same power as my [Sky Splitting] at present.
‘I don’t know if it would be different if the stats went up by 200-300 more, but… … .’
It’s true that Adonis doesn’t catch my eye right now.
There’s nothing we can do. Since it’s come to this, we have no choice but to show off our specs.
“Haha, actually, I got 3rd place in the entrance exam.”
“Your grades are average. I’ve always been number one.”
“As soon as I entered school, I discovered a fragment of a demon that seemed to be a prototype of erosion, and succeeded in defeating it.”
“I think I was fifteen when I fought and defeated ten eight-star demons.”
“I am also the first student to receive an award before the midterms!”
“Is timing important? I remember the room being filled with citations and set ablaze.”
“… … .”
Yeah, I see. Your specs are better than mine too? By far.
There is no such thing as a real monster. But even an Adonis like that would not have had an experience like this.
“I have a body that has fought against the 4th level demons.”
“… … You fought a high-level demon and survived?”
“Haha, that’s right. I fought against the demon Vines who attacked the academy, and thanks to me, my fellow students were able to survive.”
“The more I talk, the more doubts I have.”
“yes?”
“There have been no demons attacking the Academy until now. Didn’t you show up because you’re here?”
Well, actually, I came to kill Rodelin, who struck the final blow to the devil’s fragment.
It was good that he led Rodelin to the place where the devil’s fragment was.
It means that what happened was because of me.
“Hmm… … Hmmmm… … .”
Adonis’s gaze stabbed me. Did Reze feel this way too?
It was a difficult situation. And it was a time like this.
Beating the horse is the best.
“That’s not important. Even if my skills are a little lacking, isn’t it more important that I have received the Holy Sword’s recognition?”
“Wow, you’re really good at changing the subject. You’ve done this a lot. Right?”
Well, even this didn’t work. I guess I underestimated Adonis too much.
‘I should have planned it assuming it was at the Charon level… … .’
In the game, Adonis is the very embodiment of innocence, and it is impossible to be hostile to him.
It was my mistake to underestimate him.
Adonis’ life and years of experience should have been thoroughly calculated.
“Yes, as you said, receiving the Holy Sword’s recognition… … is a fact that is more important than anything else.”
but.
“More than that, the Holy Sword is an important item. And the damage that would occur if you lost such an item. Since you’re smart, you should know better than anyone else, right?”
It’s like a grandfather trying to persuade a child.
The tone of voice suggests that the toy in your hand is dangerous and that you will return it later.
I almost handed the Holy Sword over to Adonis without realizing it.
‘No. Don’t stop thinking. Think, think again!’
It’s not stubbornness. Every hidden piece has a breakthrough, a route that only brings ‘profit’.
So, there will still be such a route, such a length.
Not only did you save your life, but you also cleared the sixth quest.
‘A path that can even protect the Holy Sword.’
Clang-!
I started to piece together the puzzle of Adonis in my head.
Old people like candy, and they like cheeky kids more than smart kids.
A wise person, whose wisdom is superior to his knowledge.
and.
‘A person who pursues romance.’
Because I know the cold reality better than anyone else.
He is a person who secretly tries to help others within his reach.
Even if it is just a momentary encounter, I hope that the person who received that help can live while pursuing their dreams.
Only then could I remember what I wanted to say.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t hand over my friend.”
“……friend?”
“Yes, this contains… … the soul of my precious friend.”
He lowered his head and looked at the holy sword, which had only the handle left.
A fake sad smile is a bonus.
“Are you curious as to how I obtained the Holy Sword?”
I explained to Adonis what happened at that time in detail.
Parrot, Jester, Luther, Fragment of the Devil, and the Holy Sword that lost its power.
Parrot’s sacrifice.
Erection of a statue of Luther and a parrot.
The attack of the demon Vines and the Holy Sword Artena regaining its power once again.
“I see. The sacrifice of two heroes… … That kind of thing happened. How surprising.”
“Yes. In fact, even now, I cry every night… … Sob!”
Chijijik-!
Static electricity occurred in the Holy Sword once again.
Kyaak! Parrot, this kid is for real!
I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and a tear naturally fell.
Adonis looked visibly flustered, perhaps because he had never thought he would cry.
“I’m sorry for reminding you of that time.”
“Haha, it’s okay. The parrot is always with me. Always! Always!”
I said it with deliberate force.
Maybe that’s why Adonis let out a sly laugh.
“I can’t help it. I can’t take my friend away from me.”
“That means… … .”
“Yes, I will acknowledge your possession of the Holy Sword. However, you will need to be under my protection for the time being.”
It means that I protected the Holy Sword.
Now all that remains is to complete the sixth quest by ‘proving that you are not the enemy’.
“Haha, are your doubts about me completely cleared?”
“Suspicions? Ever since you took up the Holy Sword, those have completely disappeared.”
“yes?”
“There is no way a being who can wield the Holy Sword can be evil. I have known for a long time that you were my ally.”
So does that mean it’s been a test ever since you faced the Holy Sword?
Charon, Luciana, Adonis.
Why does it seem like there aren’t any normal people in this world?
“Well, I meant it when I said I would keep the holy sword until you grew up.”
Oh, I see. So this was actually a hidden piece that existed to steal the Holy Sword?
Thinking back, it really is a crappy hidden piece.
“Of course, you are still young, so even if you are good now, you may have evil thoughts in the future… … It doesn’t matter. At that time, the Holy Sword will punish you.”
If I have bad thoughts, will I burn to death?
But that won’t happen. We’re friends… … no, we’re idiots.
‘Parrot, right?’
… … .
Well, it looks like our new baby is in a deep sleep.
Let’s move on. The static electricity caused by the parrot made me cry, and Adonis was completely fooled by it.
[You have achieved the condition.]
[Prove you’re not the enemy (1/1)]
An information window appeared before my eyes.
With this, all conditions for the sixth quest have been met.
‘When will the quest be settled? After I break up with Adonis?’
It was at that moment that Adonis came to me.
“Oh, right. I’ll teach you one of my skills. Since you’ve worked hard, I should teach you this much.”
One of the rewards, and the one that forces you to complete this quest.
‘One suitable skill from among the skills that Adonis possesses.’
It seemed like he was trying to compensate for that.
It was natural for me to drool… no, for my eyes to sparkle.
“Let’s see… What would suit me? Brain Dragon? Thunderbolt? No, Ge Bolg would be good too.”
They are all great skills. And the most flashy and powerful skill is the electric skill!
Anything would be fine.
“Oh, you said you could learn anything by looking at it. If that’s true, then it must be Gae Bolg… … .”
Ge Bolg! You mean I can get that dog scam skill here!
It was a time when my eyes sparkled.
“No, no.”
“?”
“With your excellent reflex speed… … this technique would suit you best.”
“yes?”
[Acquire the skill ‘Adonis Ryu Counterattack (S)’.]
[Adonis Ryu Counterattack: S]
This is the technique that Adonis discovered during his training.
When the ‘Sword Defense’ skill is activated, ‘Adonis-style Counterattack’ is activated with a 100% probability.
What the f*ck.
I couldn’t help but swear.
It’s annoying that it’s a counterattack, but only when the [Sword Defense] skill is activated?
Will this activate once before the game ends?
‘This fucking piece of trash! Give me back my Ge Bolg!’
I wanted to ask for another technique.
But Adonis had already entered the training phase.
“Try attacking it once.”
Adonis, waving his hands and even provoking.
I swung my fist at him.
Towards Adonis, who gave and took away my love, [Ge Bolg]!
It was the moment when the fist was about to reach Adonis’ face.
Adonis’ right hand moved like lightning as he slightly twisted his neck to avoid the punch.
Flash!
Adonis’ right palm stopped in front of me.
The wind blew and my hair flew. At the same time.
Tukwaang!!
A bolt of lightning flashed behind me, and the wall of the training ground came crashing down.
Adonis said with a grin.
“How is it, is it easy?”
… … Will it be easy?
