“Yes?”
Dio did not understand Schuwald’s words and asked back.
What does it mean to know a lot?
“On the contrary, there are so many that I am just thinking about it in a complicated way. “Look at sepia.”
“Me?”
Sephia, who was listening to the conversation between the two, blinked and pointed at herself with a finger.
“It’s a blank slate where you don’t know anything, so you learn it quickly.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“ha ha ha! of course. Sepia…you must be vaguely feeling it, right?”
When Schuwald stopped laughing, Dio looked at Sepia in quite surprise.
Sepia was embarrassed by Dio’s gaze and quietly opened her mouth.
“Honestly, I don’t know if it’s an illusion or not. But this warm feeling… I can definitely feel it since yesterday.”
“I guess so.”
Dio had felt it from the beginning, but Sepia’s talent was truly frightening.
I thought it was my fault that I couldn’t feel mana, but as expected, with the right educator, learning was instantaneous.
When he felt that Sepia was overtaking him, Dio felt somewhat relieved.
Well, as long as Sepia can quickly use her power, there is nothing wrong with her.
“Why would I have ordered you to meditate rather than enter the forest?”
Dio, who was thinking about something else, heard Schuwald’s question.
“well. “I feel energetic, but I have no talent?”
“No. Didn’t you say it at the beginning? “You know too much.”
“….”
Dio was stung inside by Schuwald’s words.
Even as we were talking, weren’t you preoccupied with all kinds of thoughts about the system and quests?
“I believe you understand what I mean.”
With these words, Schuwald stood up first and headed outside the cabin.
The cabin where Schuwald was away was quiet, and the others remained silent as they watched Dio lost in thought.
Schuwald’s advice.
‘To put it simply, I guess I have a lot of random thoughts.’
Dio decided to take Schuwald’s advice.
Warehouse Survival System Quest Character Forgotten Swordsman God of the Sun….
Many difficult problems I have constantly thought about since coming from this world.
Dio, who was making an effort to forget this for the first time, just closed his eyes in silence for a while.
* * *
The White Deer Inn in Estellum.
Even though there was an unpleasant incident a few days ago, Estellum’s popular inn was crowded with people drinking.
“Hahaha! Hey, bring me more booze! “The most poisonous one!”
A large man who was occupying a seat at a table in a restaurant on the first floor raised his empty glass and shouted at the waiter.
A huge figure that appears to be at least 2 meters tall.
With his messy brown hair, scratches on the sides of his head,
and a gravelly voice and grim expression, one could easily mistake him for a Northerner, but he was not from the North.
“Here it is. customer.”
“I’m bored with this! Bring the whole thing!”
“yes? “Oh yes.”
The waiter hurriedly dragged a huge oak barrel filled with alcohol and placed it in front of him when he ordered from a large man who had already finished several drinks.
“okay! This should be enough! “This is a tip.”
“thank you!”
When the waiter received the gold coin handed to him by the giant, his eyes widened and he lowered his head so deeply that it almost seemed like it was touching the ground.
“Kuh-! After all, the northern region knows how to make alcohol.”
A giant who literally drinks alcohol from an oak barrel and exclaims in admiration.
An inquisitor who judges heresy, and a man known as a battle fanatic among Luna’s five swords.
His identity was none other than ‘Galeto Houndstooth’, a heresy interrogator dispatched from the Holy Kingdom of Atra under the order of a saint.
Saint Kaleina was continuing to track down a man named ‘Monte’ in connection with the incident that occurred in River North.
She is a person with a great influence on the continent, comparable to the emperor of Freud’s empire.
After hearing Scarlett’s report that Monte had been lost, she released the Inquisitors, including five swords, to each region to track Monte down.
The heretic inquisitor assigned to explore the northern region was none other than Galleto.
No, in fact, Galletto did not go against the saint’s orders, but volunteered to search the northern region on his own.
The North has long been famous as a land of ‘alcohol’ and ‘warriors’, and two of Galletto’s favorite things were ‘drinking’ and ‘fighting’.
This was a natural procedure.
“Ugh, I’m finally feeling a little tipsy now.”
Galeto, who was cleaning his teeth with a toothpick, was filled with strong drinks from the North rather than the mission of the church.
“This is what it would be like to be dispatched to the North. It could cool down the fiery passion in this body. Hahaha!”
He vowed to use this opportunity to try all the alcohol in the northern region.
There were no priests here, and there were many refugees and vagrant criminals, so no one recognized Galetto.
‘If it had been any other place, everyone would have recognized me and I would have run away without even fighting. ‘Ugh, that’s good!’
Galletto enjoyed the quiet and listened to the noise around him.
There might be an interesting story that might interest you.
-Hey, did you hear that?
-You mean the story about Gordon and Joseph?
Just as Galletto was about to fill his empty glass, he heard people talking at the table next to him.
-I haven’t seen those guys for a while. What happened?
-Do you remember the people who stopped by the mercenary office with a bunch of by-products?
-The guys who took away all the collection missions? Why them?
-Why would you do that? Wouldn’t Gordon’s gang have been working on their property?
-I knew a long time ago that they were crazy, but do they work without even knowing the other person? Idiots.
-therefore. How strong would the mercenaries be if they caught that many monsters in such a short period of time?
-Kkkkkk. So you can’t see Gordon’s gang these days? I got the reverse.
Galletto was intrigued by the people’s conversation and placed his empty glass on the table.
‘They’re strong mercenaries… If they’re at the level of an A-level mercenary, they’ll be able to warm up, right? Come to think of it, I said that this guy named Monte was also A-level, right?’
Galletto, who had had enough to drink, could not help feeling itchy.
It didn’t matter to him whether the mercenary they were talking about was the one the church was looking for or not.
I just wanted to enjoy drinking and fighting to the fullest.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnrance-
“Hey brothers.”
“What are you?”
The people who were chatting with each other looked wary at Galletto, who was sitting at their table with his heavy body.
“Those guys you talked about… where are they now?”
* * *
Awwwww!
The howl of a wolf echoed through the dense forest.
“Dio! be careful!”
Sepia spotted two werewolves rushing towards Dio and shouted urgently.
However, Dio did not pay attention to the drooling werewolves who were approaching.
No, I couldn’t look at it.
Because he had his eyes closed.
Dio thought about Schuwald’s advice.
-You think too much.
Until now, Dio had unconsciously been thinking about the ‘system’ to activate skills when fighting.
So Dio decided to start using the forgotten sword technique of ‘cutting’ without the help of skills.
There is a clear difference in power between simply swinging and cutting using a skill.
If you could use a forgotten sword slash just by thinking about the power of the sun, it would be like feeling the sun yourself.
Ping –
Dio’s silver blade was stuck in the necks of the charging werewolves.
“Krrrrr!”
“Tch.”
Dio’s attacks without using skills were infinitely shallow.
Dio rolled back to avoid the claws of the werewolf, who became even more enraged as his head did not fall from the blow.
“H-again.”
After increasing the distance, Dio once again closed his eyes and concentrated.
The power of the sun as seen by Schuwald.
I tried to imagine it and feel it.
“Karrrr!”
Another werewolf attacking Dio.
Kang!
Dio sensed the werewolf’s approach and swung his sword, this time colliding with the werewolf’s claws.
“shit!”
If he had used the skill, he would have cut off the werewolf’s neck or claws in one go.
However, as Dio’s attack power was significantly lowered, the werewolves’ attacks slowed down, but they were still alive and howled at Dio.
“Coooooooo!”
“Karrrr!”
There are a total of three werewolves surrounding Dio.
“Aren’t you going to get hurt doing that?”
“….”
Evelyn, who was watching Dio’s bloody battle, looked nervous and said to Sephia next to her.
“…Trust me just once.”
“But…”
Sepia said, recalling Dio’s words before entering the battle.
Dio’s request not to intervene no matter what happens.
Sephia believed that Dio, who she had seen so far, would definitely have an idea.
Kaga River!
“Seup-!”
As the three werewolves’ fierce attacks continued, Dio eventually opened his eyes and was in a hurry to repel their attacks.
But once the vision came into view, my concentration only became more blurred.
“Err!”
Pow!
Dio couldn’t calm his excitement and kicked the werewolf in front of him in the stomach.
“Keeng!”
“Let’s take it slow. Hey guys .. hey guys.”
There was only one reason why Dio closed his eyes.
This was because Dio’s mind was filled with strategies on the order board while the opponent was visible.
What are your weaknesses?
What timing do you attack?
To get rid of all those thoughts, Dio chose to block his own vision.
“….”
A group of werewolves retreated for a moment due to Dio’s strong counterattack when he opened his eyes.
Dio habitually looked around and remembered Schuwald’s education again.
The idea is to meditate in a place where you get used to the light.
Kalech Forest is dark even in broad daylight.
This is because the forest that extends tens of meters blocks the sunlight.
However, it is impossible to completely cover the sky just by raising your palm.
Dio looked for a sunny location where the light shining through the gaps in the bushes was the strongest.
“then…!”
Swish!
Dio, who could not find a suitable place, escaped the werewolves and arrived in front of the largest tree in the vicinity.
The reason why this towering tree is so much bigger than other trees.
That was because this place was the sunniest place around.
‘Let me use this space!’
Suddenly!
Dio held the sword in both hands and cut down the wooden pillar as if swinging an axe.
Damn it!
When the tree that looked like it could withstand a typhoon fell, the dazzling sunlight that had been blocking it until now poured down on Dio.
“good. again!”
Dio climbed up on a fallen tree as a stepping stone and pointed his sword at the werewolves.
“Karrrr!”
Werewolves run through the fallen leaves on the ground.
Dio closed his eyes again.
Doo doo doo –
Dio, who had put away all thoughts of strategies and skills, had only the sunlight shining warmly on him.
ping-!
Dio’s sword shined even more dazzlingly in the sunlight.
His sword slashed the chest of the werewolf that ran first.
Suddenly!
“Keruk!”
A bundle of light shot out along the sword blade that Dio swung, and the werewolf was split in two.
“It’s a success!”
“wow!”
Sephia and Evelyn, who were watching this, shouted.
But Dio was still hungry.
That feeling I felt right now.
Dio threw his sword on the floor.
And with both hands filled with the energy I had just felt, I once again completely absorbed the light surrounding me.
‘Not yet a little more…now!’
Faba Park!
“Kegeng!”
“Kruk!”
The werewolves touched by Dio could not bear the intense heat and rolled around on the floor in pain.
Looking down at the werewolves, Dio raised his clenched fist forward and flicked his fingers like Schuwald had done.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
An explosion much more powerful than any ‘blast’ ever used erupted from within the werewolf’s body.
Kwakwagwa!
Grumbling!
Flames rising together with strong gusts of wind in the aftermath of the explosion.
“wow!”
Sepia and Evelyn, who were watching the whole scene, let out an exclamation.
This was because they clearly felt that the power used by Dio was the same as the power of the sun shown by Schuwald.
“Whoa….”
Success.
In the skill description, it was written that ‘width’ could be used only after 5 stacks of the ‘slash’ skill were accumulated.
However, the current Dio released the power of the sun without using the skill.
This means that Schuwald was able to succeed even without the mark leading to the cutting of the ‘width’ that he was sure was the power of the sun.
Tiring!
[Sepia’s reliability has increased by 8.]
[The hidden evolution conditions for Forgotten Swordsmanship have been unlocked.]
—————
1. Achieve mastery level 100 – [Completed]
2. Use [width] 1000 times – 987/1000
3. Obtain essence of flame – [Completed]
4. Understand the power of the sun – [1/2]
——- ——–
Dio let go of his sleepy mind as he looked at the system window that appeared in front of him.
The appearance of this window probably means that you have successfully learned Schuwald’s teachings.
Item number 4 has been covered with a question mark.
Item number 4, which I thought would be unlocked after using the width a thousand times, has only now been unlocked.
‘I guess a thousand times is different. Anyway, I’m glad…I was able to realize the power of the sun. uh? for a moment.’
Dio frowned as he belatedly recognized condition number 4, which was only half filled.
‘What is 1/2 again? ‘What’s left?’
Does this mean that we have not yet fully understood the power of the sun?
‘It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do… I think it’s only halfway filled.’
Although Dio was somewhat disappointed, he decided to be satisfied with it for now.
There is no doubt that this alone is a huge achievement compared to the past when there was no progress at all.
Now I can clearly feel the power of the sun that Schuwald spoke about.
In addition, an additional benefit was that the trustworthiness of Sepia, who was watching, increased.
‘I guess they were worried that I wouldn’t be able to awaken my power.’
The moment Dio saw Sephia and Evelyn waving at him from a distance, he took his steps to approach them.
“K-heart!?”
thud!
Was it a side effect of suddenly releasing the power of the sun that had never been used?
Dio felt pain as if someone was squeezing his heart, and he fell forward with blood pouring from his mouth.
“Dio!”
“What?Why is he like that!?”
Sepia and Evelyn were startled and ran towards Dio.
Dio slowly lost consciousness as he looked at the women worrying about him.
