Reversing Life With Legendary Skills! - Chapter 30

-The Taewang Guild revealed that it had acquired two legendary grade armor as the trophies for this attack.

-This is the first time that two legendary grade items have been found. Unfortunately, it was made known that no legendary skill has been found.

The media’s focus was on legendary armor.

This is exactly what Jin-woo wanted.

He kept a secret that he acquired a relic item.

The guild also agreed to keep it unknown.

Information control was perfect, as expected from the Taewang Guild.

I haven’t figured out what this is yet, Jin-woo admitted.

He tried to get the swordsman to explain it to him, but he was disappointed.

The swordsman could not understand it yet as well.

His Master told him he would find a way to figure it out.

[You are not qualified yet. If you were qualified, you would know.]

The swordsman kept saying.

What qualifications are you talking about?

In the past, Jin-woo thought that being ‘qualified’ is a matter of being powerful.

However, it seemed like it wasn’t.

He was not qualified, even now that he is much stronger.

However, he did not resent it.

He did not regret not taking the legendary items instead.

He was a little disappointed about the absence of a legendary skill card; however, he could buy those at any time, so it was not a big problem.

I don’t care if this was really a useless item.

He had received so much from the swordsman.

If Master chose this, there must be a reason.

It was something he had to believe and wait for.

* * *

It’s been a long time, but Jin-woo was finally back in Korea.

When he arrived, he brought chicken and shared it with Sun-woo.

“Then, did you get a legendary item?”

“Huh.”

He took out the Dragon Blade and showed it to his brother.

“Wow!”

Jin-woo didn’t want to tell him about the relic-ranked item.

He does not know what it is yet exactly.

He did not know if he gained something powerful or a failure.

Above all, knowing this secret may prove dangerous for Sun-woo.

So, he decided not to say it.

“The Taewang Guild is amazing. How could legendary weapons come out and no further information leak?”

“All the giant guilds are like that. They are great at information control.”

“Have you decided on what guild to join?”

After acquiring a hero skill, Sun-woo started receiving love calls from many guilds.

One of the reasons for those love calls was his older brother.

Sun-woo agonized over and over and finally chose the Taewang Guild.

“People are good to me because of my older brother,” Sun-woo smiled.

“What is your level now?”

“175.”

Sun-woo was also working as much as he could.

-The British government announced the results of the investigation regarding the recent occurrences of sudden haunts. No abnormalities were found.

He had just been to England.

When the news about it came out, Jin-woo listened.

“There are many sudden haunts these days,” he remarked.

“Yeah?”

“Yes, especially in the UK, but it seemed a bit common in Europe? Not long ago, some European people visited the guild headquarters and mentioned that.”

“Hmmm.”

Unanticipated monster appearances were called sudden haunts.

There were many causes for this occurrence, but human error is one major factor.

Like in the Giant Snake incident.

Sun-woo considered.

“Is it because of the merger that these investigations were started?”

It was as Sun-woo said.

The Noblesse Guild represented their country.

A legendary weapon will change hands because of the merger.

It was bound to be a big shock to British players.

Shock often made things seem different than usual.

“Well, it’s not even in Korea. Don’t think about it too much.”

“Well…”

It was indeed a story from a distant country.

Jin-woo, with chicken wings on his mouth, changed the channels.

* * *

Jin-woo visited the training room after a long time.

There were no people around. He stood in the silent space and pulled his sword out.

“I still can’t understand it, Master.”

[Let’s wait a few days.]

Is there a faster way? Maybe Mr. Octopus can tell us about it.

[You will know when you are qualified.]

But how will I be qualified?

Jin-woo activated his status window.

[Gang Jin-Woo]

[Level: 305]

[Strength: 110(117) Agility: 100 Stamina: 60 Mana: 60 Inner Air: 180]

[Owned Skills: Linguist, Dokgogu Sword, Red Moon Sword, Geumgang Fireball, Celestial Spirit, Infinity Mana]

His level has exceeded 300.

Minotaur and Maryong.

The monster army.

He quickly reached the level-300 mark.

It was difficult to find a level up rate faster than Jin-woo’s.

“But, this is still not enough.”

Level 300 is the gold standard for players.

But even after reaching that, he was still not qualified.

“Master said that strength could not be measured simply by level. There are things that I still lack.”

He still has room to improve.

As the swordsman told him, his martial arts at present was premature.

His killing blow might look good, but it was risky.

It was evident with his fight with Maryong.

“I would not have been able to beat him without the Dragon Slayer skill.”

He hesitated several times to use it because if he missed his chance, it’s over.

If he meets someone as powerful as Maryong…

It would be difficult in his current state.

[That is correct.]

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, the swordsman appeared.

“Damn. You surprised me!”

[Tsu! Your tolerance is too weak.]

“No, honestly, who won’t be surprised with that?”

[I won’t.]

“… Oh, yes. Did you find a way to understand this?”

[Yes. However, I could not tell you about it right away. It will take a few days. You’re so weak, so it’s too annoying.]

Level 300 is weak.

He really couldn’t understand his Master’s standards.

[From today on, I will teach you Celestial Swordsmanship.]

“Celestial Swordsmanship?”

“Yes. Now that the level of Celestial Spirits within you has increased to some extent, you will be able to use it freely.”

Jin-woo was thrilled.

Celestial Swordsmanship often appeared in novels.

Was it really possible to learn it?

He held his sword excitedly and prepared.

“Please, teach me!”

[Okay.]

Wheeik-!

A red sword appeared in the swordsman’s hands.

It was a sword made up of energy around them.

Then, the swordsman suddenly swung the powerful mass of energy at him!

“What?!”

Jin-woo hurried to avoid the sword.

“Why did you do that?”

[You wanted to train.]

“Surely…”

[Did you think that I would discuss it with you?]

“Training is usually…”

[That takes too long. It’s best to learn it by practice.]

Wheeik-!

Jin-woo bowed low to avoid another swing.

He felt the energy passing right above his spine.

[Don’t keep dodging, fight me!]

He raised his sword at his Master’s words.

At the same time, he used the Red Moon Method technique.

Caang-!

A clear, sharp sound as their swords clashed.

However, the swordsman did not stop there.

As if it was a snake agilely climbing a tree, the swordsman’s hand moved up his arm and slapped him in the face.

“Ouch!”

[Swordsmanship is not just swinging, cutting and stabbing. You can attack the opponent in multiple ways.]

“Woo-!”

[First, your body and your sword must move in unison. See how the sword moves – make it yours.]

“Yes!”

Jin-woo grabbed his sword again.

* * *

A month passed.

The swordsman was still looking for a way to understand the relic item, moving back and forth between different dimensions.

When he is gone, Jin-woo trained with his younger brother.

“Huh!”

Sun-woo blocked a cutting attack and stabbed Jin-woo back.

Jin-woo sidestepped it and stabbed his sword at Jin-woo’s neck.

This time, the younger brother sidestepped while bringing his sword forward.

But Jin-woo predicted his movements.

In Sun-woo’s eyes, his older brother looked blurry; the next second, he was behind him, holding a sword to his neck.

“Wow! Surrender!”

“Alright! That should be enough for today.”

“Yes, but what did you just do? How could you get behind me when there’s a sword flying right in front of you?”

“Remember the footwork I told you the last time? I applied it. As my body moved, the sword naturally follows. Above all, I was using only about 10% of my strength while fighting with you. In that final move, I used 30%.”

Regulation of power.

And increased speed.

Jin-woo achieved a lot in just a month.

“Oh… the speed increased, and I missed your movement.”

Sun-woo was the same. Was it because they were brothers?

He was as quick to learn as Jin-woo.

“By the way, I learned these things from the Dragon’s Nest, and I’m also at Level 300, so the speed is markedly different.”

Jin-woo smiled.

He could not tell his brother the whole truth.

His younger brother also believed anything that he said, so he didn’t worry about it.

“What would you like for dinner?”

“Pizza, maybe?”

“Call them!”

***

Before going to bed, Jin-woo checked the news on his smartphone.

[Sudden haunt appears in Gangnam]

Another one.

Fortunately, the monster that popped out was an Orc.

It was something that even ordinary players can handle.

There were no deaths, and only minor injuries were reported.

“This is getting too frequent.”

It’s already the fifth sudden haunt this month alone.

It was suspicious.

“Well, I’m glad there weren’t much damage.”

[What’s causing damage?]

Red smoke appeared from the sword, and the swordsman appeared.

Jin-woo was now familiar with the scene, so he continued the conversation naturally.

“A monster popped out again.”

[Hmm… I see.”

The swordsman then reached out to the door.

Click-!

“Huh? Why did you lock it?”

[I found a way.]

“Really?”

[Yes. The full moon has just risen today, so let’s start right away.]

“Yes!”

The swordsman then swung his hand once more.

The pencils that were in the room flew and stuck on the walls.

Jin-woo got up and looked at him.

[From now on, I’m going to block the energy and contain it in this room.]

“What?”

[Be quiet!]

Instead of answering, the Master stretched out both hands.

Then, the red energy spread out in all directions.

Jin-woo felt great power.

The red energy spread around the room, stopping at the pencils in the corners.

Then, it surrounded them, like a tent.

[Hoo…]

“The outside energy… I don’t feel it at all.”

[Because I completely blocked it.]

Master came down to the bed and sat down with Jin-woo.

[Get the statue from the Dragon’s Nest.]

Jin-woo nodded, then opened the inventory and took out the statue.

When he handed it over, Master looked serious.

[Yes, I have seen an object that has the same power, although it has a different shape.]

“Where?”

[My teacher had it.]

“What?”

Master nodded.

I could feel the longing in his eyes.

“Perhaps…”

[He was killed by those who wanted this object.]
