Episode 97
Episode 97 First boss, Lein (15)
“Big, big…” … !!”
The dust cleared and Leain emerged.
He was breathing heavily with his magic sword stuck in the ground.
‘As expected.’
[One shot] I didn’t expect to die from one hit.
As mentioned before, [Illumination] is weak due to insufficient stats compared to the level.
Of course, since it is still an A-level skill with [Imitation of God], it is quite powerful against opponents of this level.
‘For now, the first goal has been achieved.’
Inflict great damage with [Slash] and reduce Lein’s stats.
My goal is not to kill, but to make people repent.
The limbs must be moderately disabled. That way, there will be more time to talk.
So what about the secondary goal?
“Uh, how… … .”
Lein muttered in disbelief.
“How can you use Ilsum!!”
Well, I think I achieved my second goal as well.
Giving ‘mental shock’. This was the secondary goal.
With this, the foundation for repentance was successfully laid.
Now all that remains is the third and final goal.
‘Let Leuin use the Fleur family’s swordsmanship, and I will use that swordsmanship to defeat Leain.’
If only the goal was achieved.
We will be able to successfully convert Lein.
“Answer me! hurry!”
Lein shouted loudly without even thinking about taking care of himself.
The fact that I used [Ilsom] was more important than the physical damage I received from [Ilsom].
He even used something bigger and more beautiful than Lein himself.
Rather, I was completely distracted by it.
“Hehe, Isn’t Ilsom not exclusive to Teacher Lein?”
“Kuh, tsk tsk tsk…” … Hahahaha!!”
Suddenly, Lein started laughing out loud.
At some point, it stopped and I looked down.
“what? Why not learn swordsmanship from a prestigious family? In the end, aren’t you the same? Don’t you use and rely on the swordsmanship of the Leicester family, a famous family among famous families?”
In the end, I too am just an imitator.
I am in no position to discipline others.
That’s what Lein said. but.
“different.”
“… … “It’s different?”
“yes. Master Lein, don’t you still think that the swordsmanship of a prestigious family is the best? But I don’t think so.”
The beginning and end of swordsmanship are the same.
Only the middle is different.
“A little while ago, you told me to follow what my senior said, right?”
“… … .”
“The path of imitation. As someone who walked that path first and has seen the end, I would like to give you some advice.”
You are wrong, Lein. At the end of imitation.
“Nothing exists.”
* * *
Bbppkkak-.
Leger opened the box lid and carefully looked around.
About 15 minutes passed after Zero disappeared.
But nothing has changed here.
The children, including senior Rodelin, still haven’t come out of the building.
The unidentified portal that swallowed Zero also disappeared somewhere and never reappeared.
and.
“… … .”
Luna, who was sitting as still as a stone, did not change either.
Luna just continues to look at the place where Zero disappeared.
It might turn into a real stone.
“Well, I… … Miss Luna. This, this… … Please eat.”
Leger handed over his snack.
Carrot flavored potato chips. It was Leger’s favorite snack.
“huh? thank you. “I’ll eat well.”
Wasak… … .
Crunch crunch!
For a moment, Luna frowned.
“what is this? “It’s a carrot, right?”
“Yes, it’s delicious, right?”
“… … “First of all, it’s not my taste.”
Leger’s head dropped.
There were too many people in this world who hated carrots.
‘It’s so delicious, why on earth?’
Leger was depressed again today.
“Uh, over there… … “Miss Luna.”
“Yes why?”
“Well, can I ask you something?”
“ask.”
“Why, why didn’t you come in with me? I’m so worried… … .”
Leger couldn’t understand.
If you were going to worry about Zero this much, it would have been better to go with him.
Even if Zero expressed his refusal, Luna’s strength and stubbornness would have been enough for her to go in with Zero.
But I didn’t do that. Leger was genuinely curious about the reason.
“… … “Because we’re friends.”
“yes?”
“I just trust you because we are friends. and… … You say you will do what you want to do to grow. “You have to believe it, then.”
“… … .”
“are you okay. “Zero will definitely come back.”
“Well, how do you know that?”
That’s right.
“Because I promised.”
Promises made between friends must be kept.
That was Luna’s creed and pride.
Since Zero was her friend, Luna believed that she would definitely keep her promise.
A promise to return.
“Well, I can’t help but feel a little anxious. “Can’t I tell Zero that I was like this?”
“yes? ah… … yes. Well, don’t worry. “I will definitely protect it.”
Luna’s gaze once again turned to the place where Zero had disappeared.
Leger thought as he put carrot-flavored snacks into his mouth.
Miss Luna herself.
‘I would be very happy if we could be friends.’
* * *
The third big draw of the Laprel clan.
Illusion Sword.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
One island.
Bang, bump!
Kwagwagagagagagak-!
“Ugh!”
This time, it was Lein who was pushed out.
There are 5 families and 10 special skills that Lein can use.
I used all of them at one time, but none of them surpassed my [Ilsum].
“This can’t be… … “This can’t be happening!”
“… … .”
“If only our family had such excellent swordsmanship! If only I had done that, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! “I wouldn’t have made a contract with the devil either!”
Lein was already in a state of mental breakdown.
‘Mojiri bastard.’
I know.
I’m dying to imitate it.
In the end, imitation is just imitation.
It can’t be real.
“What do you know! Not being born into a prestigious family is like giving up your dream of becoming a hero! No matter how hard you try, you can’t match their sword skills! Like right now!”
“… … .”
“I wanted to be a hero! “I wanted to make a name for myself on the continent and become a hero that everyone would praise!”
My childhood dream of becoming a hero.
I could tell.
Leuin’s spirit was beginning to collapse.
“Opening the demon sword!”
Knock knock!
Dozens of blood vessels protruded from the magic sword and became lodged in Lein’s right arm.
[Opening the Demon Sword].
A skill that increases attack power by 200%, but increases the encroachment rate by 0.5%.
You might think that it doesn’t really matter, since it’s Lein with an encroachment rate of close to 80% anyway.
“Do you mind if I kill you like this? No one will understand. “No one will ever know your sacrifice!”
It’s too bad, but it’s not for me to die. It’s yours.
And what a hero is.
“That’s just the way it is, Mr. Lein.”
I’m busy saving the world, but I’m also busy saving the people in front of me.
How can you be called a hero if you only take care of your own self-interest?
I knew that very well.
From Luthers and the Mockingbird, and.
Because I learned that from the countless heroes I encountered in this game.
“First of all, one thing is clear.”
“What do you mean!”
“You don’t deserve to be a hero.”
“dog sound! “Don’t talk nonsense!!”
You choose the path of a hero because you want to be praised.
The quality is bad.
Lein swung the magic sword. The demonic energy raged like a storm and enveloped the demon sword.
‘I guess that’s it for now.’
It seems that Lein has completely erased the memories of the Fleur family.
He never once used his sword skills.
The hidden reward is giving up.
Lein also seems to have deviated a lot from the Lein I knew. Now just.
‘Let’s kill him.’
I made up my mind.
Because I was really planning on committing my first murder.
I gave full strength to the sword handle.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
One island.
“K, keaaaa!!”
The magic energy that was on the magic sword disappeared entirely due to the blow of [Ilsom].
At that level, the arms and torso would be cut off at once.
Just when I thought it was over.
Lein adjusted his sword.
The third secret of Fleur’s clan.
Wings of the Steel Storm.
Kuooo-!!
A flash of light sent by me.
It disappeared in an instant. As if melting into the air.
[Ilsom] was blocked, but it didn’t feel bad.
Why? at las.
Because there is a chance to get hidden rewards.
“Hehe, look. In the end, because you’re in a hurry, the roots come out, right?”
This is probably the swordsmanship that has been honed over the longest period of time.
Since it was a situation right before death, the body must have reacted naturally.
“Shut up! “How can this be swordsmanship?”
Lein used a draw again.
The secret technique of the Laprell family that stabs three different places at the same time.
The third big draw of the Laprel clan.
Illusion Sword.
Although I was in danger of having a hole in my body right away, I didn’t panic at all.
When [Ilseom] was blocked, I paid close attention to it.
[Imitation of God] slot changed.
[Flip the Earth] > [Wings of the Steel Storm]
The third secret of Fleur’s clan.
Wings of the Steel Storm.
Kuooo-!!
The illusion of the sword created by Lein melted into the sky.
At the same time.
Push shoo shoo shoo!!
“Wow!”
Objects floating around rushed into Lein’s body.
All the items caught in the wings of the storm flew to Lein.
“What is this… … !”
“Hehe, how do you feel? “Wings of the Steel Storm, aren’t they amazing?”
“Well, that’s our family’s swordsmanship? “There’s no way I’m drawing it!”
“Why do you think that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Our family’s swordsmanship is so… … So… … .”
You may think that there is no way you can be strong and beautiful.
This is also a technique that was eventually imitated as [Imitation of God]. It was only grade A.
S-class. What did the pinnacle of swordsmanship pursued by the Fleur family look like?
I couldn’t figure it out. Lein, and me too.
Because they are just imitators.
“Do not lie!”
The fight started again.
Lein uses the Fleur family’s swordsmanship, and I counter with the same.
It’s long, but not boring.
That kind of time continued.
“Huh, oh oh… … .”
Leuin groaned with his magic sword stuck in the ground.
I can feel it. I feel like it’s time for it to come to an end.
“As I said before, an imitation can never become the real thing.”
In the end, imitation is just imitation. It can’t be real.
And I knew that better than anyone else.
Why?
‘Because imitating God will eventually hit the limit of A-level skills.’
[Imitation of God], which fixes the grade of all imitating skills to Grade A.
It’s good at first, but it gets more and more frustrating as time goes on.
A decisive battle with the final boss. Bosses, main characters, and even supporting characters.
A fight begins with excessive use of S-class skills.
My character, whose maximum skill is Class A, changes into a role of following and supporting other characters.
so that.
‘Your growth will seem even more dazzling.’
Characters who do not break even in moments of crisis. Children growing and moving forward.
It always sparkled brightly.
Yes. Everyone is given equal opportunities.
As long as you are not caught up in an inferiority complex like Mr. Lein in front of you.
“Giving up and defeating the possibility of becoming a hero. That’s it… … .”
It is none other than yourself, Monsieur Leuin.
