68 – I’m pretty good at swordsmanship

*

[Dragon Slayer (S): The power gained by those who directly kill the dragon and wear the dragon’s blood. You gain one of the abilities associated with the dragon you slay, and any abilities you gained as a dragon slayer are amplified with each new dragon you kill.

Instead, the dragon’s hostility toward the owner increases.

*Nidhogg’s Blood Poison: You can change your own blood into hero-grade poison when you want. You can ingest all types of poison you have ever ingested, and your resistance to poison greatly increases.]

I knew what a dragon slayer was, and the important thing was the ability I got from killing Nidhogg.

‘Nidhogg didn’t use poison before…?’

It’s one of Nidhogg’s really important abilities to the extent that it can be realized through the Dragon Slayer trait, but I’ve never used it against Doom or Seung-ah.

“You mean it was weakened?”

Definitely recorded in mythology, it is a dragon that is said to eat the world tree, which is a divine tree, but it did not make sense that it was only level 299.

Of course, level 299 is not a low level, but if the dragon who left his name in mythology is not as good as the master of the hyeongyeong, wouldn’t that be a problem?

‘It was fortunate for me.’

If you had all of your original powers, you wouldn’t even think about catching them and would have had to run away, whether people died or not.

It is right to save people who can be saved, but I don’t want to save others even at the cost of myself and my acquaintances’ lives. Even if I could do it to the extent of taking a risk, I had no intention of facing a certain death.

First of all, it seemed that the newly acquired ability could be used quite usefully. If it’s a hero grade poison, it means that you can poison it unconditionally, unless you have an artifact of a similar level.

Even though it is said that all types of poisons I have eaten can be implemented, it will be of great help to me if I properly use paralytic poison, sleeping poison, sangong poison, and deadly poison depending on the situation.

‘It seems that the poisonous invulnerability was also possible thanks to this ability.’

Maybe it wasn’t the ability to unconditionally create a universal poison. If that were the case, it would have been written that it would not greatly increase resistance to poison, but would have acquired S.

It is correct to assume that I was promoted with the help of a dragon slayer because I already had the Thousand Poisons.

‘Originally, it must not have been the ability to turn poison directly from the body.’

If you don’t have a cure for poison, you’ll get poisoned, but your body won’t be able to withstand it if it’s produced in your body. Perhaps the main use was to turn the blood drawn out into poison and use it.

Of course, since I have an all-poison needle, it was possible enough to prepare poison in my body in advance and use it as a surprise by injecting it instantly.

‘It’s getting more and more distant.’

I think I can compete with long-range S-class hunters only with long-range skills, such as Muk-rye-Buk-ryeok Shin-gong, Frost, and Nidhogg’s Blood Poison.

After removing all the status windows, I lay down on the bed.

“I want to test the blood poison… But let’s get some sleep.”

Fighting non-standard enemies that were difficult to deal with at the moment, experiencing death even in a fleeting moment, and being lynched by the party for several hours, I was a bit tired.

Even with the transcendent mental strength of 104, it was difficult to handle the events of the day.

“Wow… But really, why are you doing this to me?”

I prayed again and again to heaven to let me live comfortably even for just one day, but how could an accident break out around me? There was no such thing as a billion.

As a result, I was able to achieve great growth, but if I grew like this every time, my body wouldn’t be left behind. It was clear that he would be scolded to death by his wives and Seung-ah.

I closed my eyes and went to sleep with no expectations for the future so as not to raise a flag this time.

Tuduk. Fighting. Shaaa-

Sunday at 8 am.

I woke up to the sound of rain falling hard outside the window. My head was very clear and my mind was refreshing, probably because I slept for more than 10 hours. There was no discomfort in the body.

“Ehh… I was supposed to sparr with that nobleman today..?”

I decided to have a sparring match once a month with the man who indirectly helped me in the dispute with the Wang family, and that was today. He said he wanted to do it right away to see if his body was hot.

‘I’ll have to do it right this time.’

To be honest, the other day I felt bothered and had a feeling that I was a little rough. However, this time, since I have received a lot of help, I plan to help him achieve the results he wants.

“After sparring with the old man, I think we can have lunch and go on Shinwoo’s broadcast together with Estelle.”

Since I’ve put in the words of CNU beforehand, I’m sure he’s well set up.

Estel, who was in the same party as me, who had risen in popularity through the subjugation of Nidhogg, appeared at the same time, so it could be said to be a box-office guarantee.

It’s good that Shinwoo can boost the number of subscribers and views, and Estelle’s power will explode, so it can be said that it’s a win-win plan for both of them.

Of course, I wouldn’t benefit from being caught in the middle, but I was able to give this much to CNU, who regularly creates artifacts for me, and Estelle, who loves me unchangingly.

“Turn it off!”

After lightly stretching and washing my face, I headed to the living room. All four of them were there except for me. Everyone is making pouty faces as if they are still a little angry with me.

‘I did a bad thing…’

I couldn’t dare imagine what they must have felt the moment my breath stopped. For the time being, it seemed that I would have to squat down like this as a sinner.

“Everyone… What do you want to eat?”

With a broken heart, I asked the girls what food they wanted.

“Chicken.”

“Chaliapin Steak.”

“Yuwon… Not Nakgopsae.”

“Omelet.”

‘There was something strange in the middle…’

I’m not in a situation where I’m going to argue about something, so I just skipped it and ordered chicken and octopus to be delivered. There was nothing that couldn’t be made, but both were things that took too long to make in the current situation.

Steaks and omelettes are things that can be made quickly at home, so after buying the ingredients at the mart right in front of the house, he showed off his splendid cooking skills and made the food within a week.

Looking at the way they were eating, everyone’s expressions relaxed a little bit, and I could feel that my bribe had worked to some extent. After making and eating my own food, I washed the dishes and headed for the front door.

“I’ll go to Baekryong’s house.”

Everyone knows why I’m going because I told them a few days ago, but no one responded to me. Still, looking at the atmosphere that was more relaxed than yesterday, I thought it would be okay to stay a little longer.

After coming out like that, I headed for Baekryong’s house, lightly changing my face with the reverse magic. I thought it would be difficult to move if I didn’t do this because I had become more famous.

It was raining, so I moved with an umbrella. Has it been like that for 30 minutes?

“Whew…”

‘Fortunately nothing happened.’

That was what I thought when I arrived safely in front of Jin Baekryong’s house. There were so many things going on these days, I wondered if I was being attacked on the way here, but fortunately nothing happened.

I was standing in front of the door and was about to ring the doorbell, but before I could ring the doorbell, the door opened on its own.

‘What?’

“Welcome!”

I wonder how long I’ve been waiting for this day, a nobleman named Gajoo greets me by opening the door directly. Just looking at it, I can feel that my body is very hot.

“Why are you so excited?”

I thought it wasn’t just because of sparring, so I asked him a question.

“I saw how you caught the dragon. Obviously, I lowered it to 0.01X speed, but I could barely see your movements. It was a truly phenomenal speed. It was not simply made of stats or artifacts, but the transfers built up through pure nothingness. Seeing that made my heart flutter. I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed.”

The family head staring at me with shining eyes. Those envy-filled eyes were very burdensome.

“That’s enough… Let’s go inside first.”

I felt ashamed to hear more, so I hurried him inside. This time, we faced each other not in a room with a capsule, but in a room that only functioned as a training ground.

“You mean you want to do real sparring, not virtual sparring this time?”

He nods.

“Although virtual sparring is convenient, there is no risk of injury, and it is almost the same as reality, isn’t it not good for actual practice?”

He was right. No matter how much you roll in virtual reality, other stats will never rise except intelligence and mental strength, and the rate of growth of your skills is slow compared to reality.

Also, perhaps because I already knew that I would not die, there was also the downside of lack of urgency and less sharpness of my senses.

It’s really good for testing purposes, but it’s a bit unsuitable for training.

“I will choose a weapon here, so pick up the weapon you want.”

This time, instead of using the famous sword he used in virtual reality, he uses a normal sword taken out of a gym box. I don’t know if it’s because of the memory of having my weapon broken more than twice.

Of course, rather than bothering to point that out, I took out a sword similar in length to the one he was using. Seeing this, he opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“You’re going to use that…?”

“Yes. I’m pretty good at swords.”

In order to give the man who handles the sword enlightenment, the sword is the best.
