Episode 99. First boss, Lein (17)
“Keuuuuu… … .”
Lein’s face was pure white. Like a person without any blood in his body.
It was natural. His right arm holding his magic sword was cut, and blood poured out from there.
Although first aid was administered with a potion, there was no way to recover the blood that spilled in the process.
“Huh… … Huh… … “I’m sorry, but can you just get me a sword from over there?”
A display case in the corner of the training ground.
From there, he took out a sword and placed it in Lein’s hand.
“Take a good look, my last disciple, Zero.”
“Master Lein… … If you push yourself like that… … .”
“Stop, I’m already done. The devil has done tricks not only on my right arm, but also on other areas. He’s going to be executed anyway. so.”
Huh-.
“Let me choose the final path.”
Lein’s sword dance has begun.
Dance, blade, wings, darkness, firmament.
These were the five secret techniques of the Fleur family.
“Huh… … Huh… … . “It’s a pity that I don’t have more time.”
“… … teacher.”
“Stop making that face and attack me, Zero. From now on.”
Cheoeok-.
“I will begin the final map.”
Lein took a stance, raising his sword.
Even though I don’t have a right arm, I’ve only had the chance to hold a sword with my left hand a few times.
I felt quite intimidated.
I also took the same posture.
To the person who had fought against inferiority all his life, to the person who finally won.
I offer a little consolation.
“Hehe, class was fun. “I mean it.”
Your passion for learning, your hard work, and even your affection.
I could feel everything in class.
“Zero-kun, it was an honor for me to meet a student like you.”
Tadat-!
fault!
They started running towards each other.
Since it was the last time, I decided to be polite and let it go.
Since it is an [Imitation of God], it may not show the extreme intentions of the Fleur family.
Still, it will be enough as a consolation.
Fleur’s fifth secret.
The firmament of the steel storm.
Fleur’s fifth secret.
The firmament of the steel storm.
The ultimate in refined swordsmanship, swinging the sword only once while passing by the opponent.
It was quiet.
They whispered, facing each other’s backs.
“Did you see it?”
“That’s right, Zero. It’s the sky… … “It was something like this.”
Phew!
A line of blood appeared on Lein’s chest, and then it burst and he fell forward.
at the same time.
Crackling-.
A thin blood line was drawn on my right forearm.
Blood was dripping down. There weren’t many.
But one thing was clear.
It has been reached. In my body.
He performed his secret battle with all his heart for me, with his worn-out body.
“Hehe, Lein de Fleur. Your swordsmanship… … It has definitely touched this body.”
Equivalent to other families.
Incredibly beautiful.
“It was a very good blow.”
* * *
is it. You’ve reached it.
Although it was a dead body, Lein could tell.
His swordsmanship, the effort he had accumulated so far.
That it wasn’t all in vain.
Okay, zero. A hero is a child like you.
A strong mind and will that does not break even when faced with great power.
If I had a next life, I would definitely live it like that.
The will of the Fleur family does not disappear.
It will continue.
Zero, from that kid.
“Go forward, Zero.”
With a will of steel.
The fluttering wings of the Fleur family.
It started now.
* * *
[You have satisfied the quest conditions.]
[Lein de Fleur (1/1)]
[You have cleared Main Quest #4, ‘Defeat Lein de Fleur, the boss of Chapter 1!’]
[200 exp and 10 gold are given as compensation.]
[Lein de Fleur was successfully converted. Additional compensation will be given.]
[The eye-opening skill increases by one level from F > E.]
[Hidden rewards are given.]
[Acquire the Fleur family style (C) skill.]
[The title, ‘Heir of the Fleur family’ is given.]
[Heir of the Fleur family]
-Recognized as the official successor to the Fleur family.
The Fleur family’s swordsmanship with strong fundamentals.
When using a sword-type weapon, attack power increases by 20%.
The layers of information windows made my eyes dizzy.
Let’s take it slowly, one by one.
The reward for clearing the main quest is 2 level up and 10 gold.
It can be said to be a decent compensation. So much so that there is no need to explain it further.
Next is an additional reward, upgrading the level of the [Open Eyes] skill.
It went up one level from F to E.
‘Could it be that there was an additional effect? If so, it’s awesome.’
I opened the information window and started checking right away.
[Open eyes: E]
-I open my eyes slightly. The eyes take on a slightly more ominous red color.
“… … .”
I remember exactly the phrase when this skill was at level F.
Everyone will have no choice but to do that.
Because the state of the skills I received as soon as I was possessed was hopeless.
When it’s F-class, it’s an ‘ominous red color’, and when it’s E-class.
‘A little more ominous red color.’
Yes. Only the word ‘a little more’ was added, and there is no additional effect.
They went through a lot of trouble to make him repent, but they only give him some kind of reward?
They would have overthrown the system right away.
If it weren’t for the two hidden rewards below.
[Fleur Family C].
I will be honest. This… … It’s a very big reward.
Every time I gamble on potential, I get a garbage skill, and [Open Eyes] is an unbelievably good reward for me, who is my main skill.
Why?
Unlike [Imitation of God], which can only imitate one skill from each family, this is the main skill that allows you to use all of the Fleur family’s arcane skills.
In Luna’s case, [Leicester Family], and in Rodelin’s case, [Lucid Family].
Just like that, I also have a [Fleur clan].
‘Dance, blade, wings, darkness, firmament.’
I am a veteran of this game, but I have no information about the Fleur family’s swordsmanship.
It doesn’t exist. Because Lein dies in Chapter 1 without even showing it.
You won’t know what kind of sword technique it is until you try it yourself, but you can freely use a family’s secret technique.
It was truly a huge gift to me. More than anything.
‘I can reach S-class too!’
For gamers, [Imitation of God] is an essential skill they cannot live without.
If anyone were to pick out the Gaejeokgi skill, it would be an incredibly efficient skill that would be listed on three fingers.
However, there are clear limitations to being Class A.
It allows you to use the secret skills of other families, but you cannot reach S rank.
This was a huge complaint. But I was able to solve it.
I was also given the opportunity to become ‘real’.
As a person, as a gamer.
I can say that I received a truly touching gift.
finally.
The title of [Heir of the Fleur family].
The phrase that he was recognized as ‘the official successor to the Fleur family’ is touching, but the attack power increases by 20% when using a sword-type weapon.
‘It’s a scam, right?’
How many gifts are you giving?
“Master Lein… … “Thank you for the grace that is like the ocean.”
He was a true teacher who could not be compared to Charon.
In an instant, Lein’s body turned into light and disappeared.
‘Is it because it’s a hidden boss?’
Come to think of it, the grade was written as ‘???’ instead of S.
In order to use [Predation], it seemed like I had to go to where the Rodelin party was.
huh? Are you crazy to use the [Predation] skill on your teacher’s corpse?
That’s right.
‘That’s that, and this is this.’
Teacher Lein will also want you to use him more. yes?
Ugh-.
A portal appeared before my eyes.
A portal that looks the same as when you entered here.
“hmm… … .”
Before going in, there was one thing to do.
‘Self-diagnosis of murder.’
This was a pretty important issue. Because there will be more murders in the future.
In the worst case, you might have to change your play style.
After taking a deep breath, I slowly began self-diagnosis.
Q. What did you feel after your first murder?
‘… … ‘I’m not sure.’
Because I was so out of it, it was a mess.
However, if I had to choose the biggest emotion, I think it would be ‘sadness’.
The sadness about the character of Lein, who dreamed of becoming a hero, but was consumed by his inferiority complex and ruined himself.
I think it was the biggest.
Now, let’s move on to the next diagnosis.
Q. Are you mistaken that you are okay with the power of [Mental Defense]?
Well, this is a pretty difficult question to answer right away. Let’s think about it for a moment.
[Mental Defense] is one of the skills you receive as soon as you are possessed by the game. A skill received with [Open Eyes].
It also received an S rank. At first, I thought it was a perk to get used to when I was possessed by the game.
‘A device that prevents people from feeling guilty about murder. ‘You might think so.’
Unless it is.
“Hehe, it could be a device to prevent people from feeling the ‘fun of murder.’”
There may be players who have crazy ideas about killing all the characters in the game.
Either way, this is not a normal way of thinking.
“hmm… … .”
I did a self-diagnosis, but I couldn’t find any problems.
I also learned that [Mental Defense] does not block all emotions.
He said he felt sadness at Lein’s death.
The implications were significant.
‘It might be a skill that requires a little research.’
Wow, I took too much time.
I walked slowly towards the portal.
Some people might think so.
They say they lost the campaign just by killing one game character.
But I don’t think these are simple characters.
No, I didn’t want to think like that.
Rodelin, Luna, Raymon, Alex, Yuridia, Teron, and everyone else.
It was clearly a living being.
“Hehe, you were too sentimental. “I have to go quickly.”
Because I didn’t want to tear my hair out asking Luna why she was coming so late.
Tuk-.
Something caught my foot. It’s a magic sword.
The culprit that destroyed Lein.
When I looked inside, I saw something small moving around busily.
It looks like a dog. Well, since it’s in there, it’s probably a devil in dog disguise.
[Do you want to acquire the magic sword?]
Um, you’re giving me the magic sword for free? This is really tasty… … .
“It doesn’t pull at all.”
It’s just eating away at my body.
It may be strong for a weapon that can be used in the early stages, but I had no intention of giving up on the future.
Sereung-.
I pulled out my sword and swung it, remembering the movements Lein had shown me.
The first secret of Fleur’s clan.
Dance of the Steel Storm.
Clang-!
The magic sword shattered and scattered in all directions.
Wow!
Is it an illusion? I thought I could slightly hear the devil’s scream.
For reference, the [Fleur family style] I acquired is C grade.
Neither high nor low. I thought for a moment about why I gave this rating.
And I was able to realize it.
Mr. Lein. A grade he has accumulated through training throughout his life.
There was a high probability that the grade would have been transferred to me as is.
The will, the iron will of the Fleur family, continues through me.
“Hehe, Mr. Lein. “Your noble will for your family.”
This Zero clearly inherited it.
“Rest in peace.”
With a final greeting, I threw myself towards the portal.
