Regressor's Instructions Manual Episode 1082

Rohen Continent (2)

[Do you want to choose the dusk-colored sword god as your GENIUS?]

[YES/NO]"

"Kraaaaah!"

[Do you want to choose the dusk-colored sword god as your GENIUS?]

[YES/NO]

'Stop asking already, you bastard.'

"Ah, ugh!"

[Do you want to choose the dusk-colored sword god as your GENIUS?]

[YES/NO]

'Is there anyone around here to take advantage of? Anyone who can help?'

Damn it.

Geez.

What's a GENIUS? why is Kim Hyun Sung watching me, what are the coins, what are these sudden messages pouring in, I couldn't understand, but I could judge quickly.

'Is it the basic setting of the Rohen Continent?'

Is it a system where gods support players? Do they have more room to intervene than we do?

These thoughts flashed through my mind momentarily.

Of course, there was no time to organize these thoughts properly.

If I were in a safer place, I could organize the information and come up with various plans, but now the most important thing was to survive against this monster.

"Kra! Kraaaaa!"

The monster crawling on the ground continued to retract its claws into my body and gnash its teeth.

The pain was so intense that it felt like tears were pouring out, but if I moved my hand to the injured area, the monster's teeth would surely touch my neck.

For now, all I could do was hold onto its neck as tightly as possible.

'Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!'

It had been quite some time since the tutorial started, and naturally, there was not a single human around the starting point who could help, let alone an ant.

The strength was draining from the arm holding onto the monster's neck, and it was not easy to breathe with the monster's saliva continuously dripping onto my face.

'What are the coins? How do I open the shop?'

Was there a way to spend the coins sponsored by Kim Hyun Sung in the tutorial? Would it help to deal with this monster... Where the heck is the shop window....

"Krrr... Kkwaah!"

"Aaah!"

"Krrr... Kkwaah!"

"Yes! Yes... Ah, yes!!!"

"Aaaaaaaah Kraaaah!"

"Yes! Yes! Ah, ugh!! Yes! Yessss! Yes! Yes!"

[YES]

[You have chosen the dusk-colored sword god as your GENIUS.]

[The dusk-colored sword god...]

[Your....]

In an instant, messages popped into my head, but more than that, I felt a faint increase in strength and agility.

Afterward, the monster that had been crushing me screamed and bounced away from me.

No, to be precise, it didn't bounce away. Suddenly, it seemed to be blinded by the brilliant dusk and covered its eyes with its hands.

"Kraaaaaah!"

"This bastard!"

'Weapons, weapons!'

I instinctively looked around, but aside from the boulder, there was nothing suitable as a weapon.

Again, the messages poured in, right at that moment.

[The dusk-colored sword god bestows upon you the dusk-colored sword.]

'Alright.'

The Effect killer.

The handle of the sword visible through the bright dusk. Reaching out towards the creature slowly was only natural.

It felt like I could hear the sound effect of "Hwaaaah!" echoing.

Pulling out the sword from thin air wasn't something I was used to, but soon I could confirm my own figure smoothly pulling out the dusk-colored sword.

The sight of the dusk-colored sword gradually emerging from thin air was magnificent beyond belief.

As the dusk-colored sword finally revealed its complete form to the world, once again, the howling form of the monster caught my eye.

"Kwaaaaah!"

"You bastard!"

I had learned swordsmanship.

Though I had never actually used it against a monster, I remembered Kim Hyun Sung applauding my changed physique.

Didn't Raphael also praise that it seemed usable in actual combat? The sword in my right hand felt heavy, but not so much that I couldn't swing it.

Moreover....

"Show me." 

Even the movements of the creature were visible, the mind's eye had not disappeared.

I could see everything now: what type of monster it was, what form it took, its agility and strength, how it moved.

It had been a long time since I held a sword.

'Raphael.'

But the swordsmanship that came to mind with Raphael began to unfold in my hand.

A solid longsword.

"Ugh."

The chosen swordsmanship felt heavy.

Contrary to appearances, Raphael's sword was heavy.

The reason why his sword felt heavy was because it was meant to control an unimaginably large amount of magic power.

Although he had once learned swordsmanship from Kim Hyun Sung, he paradoxically ended up with a style of swordsmanship completely different from Kim Hyun Sung's.

"Kraaaaaah!"

The creature that had been running on four legs suddenly switched to two, while its other two hands seemed to reach out towards my chest.

'I'll deflect it.'

Utilizing the weight of the dusk-colored sword, deflecting the creature's attack was a piece of cake.

Raphael's sword, which prioritized the power of the core over anything else, was more important than anyone else's swordsmanship.

While it was impossible to incorporate the finesse of Raphael's longsword into my own style, mimicking the basics of his swordsmanship should be achievable.

I exerted force from my waist and rolled my legs. After properly gripping the sword with both hands to ensure it wouldn't bounce off, I swung the sword when the creature reached out to me.

Cough!

"Wha... What?"

But it was my attack that bounced off.

"Is this guy stronger than I thought?"

O

f course, the creature was not without its own shock. It had likely blocked the sword not with its arms but with its claws.

The monster, not wasting any time, seemed to leap at me.

'I have longer reach.'

Visualization was Thronus's thing.

Since I had used the sword before, I understood his swordsmanship that utilized a long reach.

Perhaps this swordsmanship would suit me best. After all, I had once used a spear.

Tactics utilizing long weapons were familiar to me.

After quickly retreating backward, I immediately began to gauge the distance again.

It seemed like Thronus's swordsmanship was as if it was scratching an itch on the inside.

Explanations were meaningless. It was correct to extend the sword immediately.

'The important thing is....'

After extending the sword.

'The important thing is to retrieve the sword I extended before retrieving it again.'

There were many swordsmen, but the reason Thronus's sword was strong lay in the timing of retrieving the sword. He...

'He doesn't retrieve the extended sword carelessly.'

A thrust followed naturally by a horizontal slash, which seamlessly transitioned into a downward strike.

Of course, the muscles I have and those Thronus had were different. The sword that might not pose any problem for Thronus might be difficult for Lee Ki-young to keep up with.

Ultimately, the important thing was not how fast I extended the sword, but how fast I retrieved it afterwards and how fast I distanced myself from the creature once again.

After thrusting the sword.

'This is a feint.'

I immediately retrieved the sword. It wasn't just about retrieving the sword; it seamlessly transitioned into a backward step as if it were a single movement.

"Argh!"

It would have been a perfect move if I hadn't stumbled on a boulder.

But it wasn't a problem. The distance between me and the creature had already widened...

"Kwaaaaah!"

'Why is this bastard so fast?'

In an instant, as the creature followed me, I realized it wasn't the ideal position for Thronus's swordsmanship to come into play, so I had no choice but to prepare for the next technique.

'Templar Zen.'

Fundamentals.

The most basic swordsmanship.

Even if it's called the textbook of swordsmanship, there's nothing to say about the emphasis on fundamentals in this style.

Perhaps I relied too much on finesse. Maybe I tried to learn how to run before I could even stand up.

"Hah!"

"Kwaah!"

"Hah!"

The important thing is the basics. Let's rethink the grip method. It's an unfamiliar action to wield a sword in the first place.

It's natural to feel uncomfortable. Even if it's uncomfortable, you have to grip it like that. Because that's the right way. Posture.

You might have thought it was nothing special, but maintaining the correct posture is crucial.

As much as my physical abilities allow...

"Aaaah!"

The creature's claws grazed my arm.

'Bahamut. Bahamut.'

My strength stat is likely higher than that monster's. After all, it's just a tutorial mob.

Of course, the actual strength stat and how much power you can exert are different.

Even if I have the same strength, how much power I can exert depends on the target I'm using it against and changes through training.

In the case of Bahamut, it's a swordsmanship that seems to utilize the full power of one's own strength.

While Lee Ki-young can only use about 20 percent of his strength, using Bahamut's swordsmanship would change the game.

'I can raise it up to 62.7 percent.'

Truly overwhelming strength.

Overwhelming power.

Intimidation.

Like the scorching sun in midsummer.

The essence of swordsmanship that imbues power into every movement.

Paradoxically, the most important aspect of Bahamut's swordsmanship lies not in the arm that swings the sword, but in the lower body that supports the body.

Didn't the Bahamut correct my swordsmanship directly?

Remember. Memories of that summer day.

It's as if I'm going back in time, being with Bahamut.

It feels like that huge hand is supporting my lower body and waist, holding my hand and adjusting my posture.

It's as if its soul is embracing me.

'The important thing is not to waver.'

'Yes. Templar Bahamut.'

'The Priest of Prophecy. Consider that wooden doll as your enemy. Put a little more strength into your lower body. Move your arm this way... Yes, you're doing well.'

'Yes.'

The season was summer.

'It's important not to let go of the sword. With the momentum that seems to break the handle.'

The season was undoubtedly summer.

'Yes.'

'Now. Step.'

"Yaaaah!"

"Kwaah!"

"Aaaah!"

"Kwaaaah!"

"This damn creature!"

Was there nothing else Kim Hyun-seong warned not to use?

The swordsmanship he explicitly said to use only when absolutely necessary, the lethal swordsmanship. Do I have to unleash that murderous technique?

"Eeeaaah!"

"Kwaaaah!"

A fierce battle between tiger and dragon.

"Yiik!"

"Kwaa!"

"Haaaat!"

"Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!"

A clash between two proud geniuses.

The intense battle unfolded as if it would happen if Hyun-seong and Hee-ra were to fight.

There were no rules or laws there.

It was just a confrontation of life and death, where each tried to kill the other.

If I surpassed one level, the creature followed suit along that wall.

It felt like growing during the battle, but it seemed more like taking a step backward.

'Why is this creature so powerful? Is it a hidden boss monster?'

"Kwaaaah!"

In the ongoing battle, the creature was also aware that this fight wouldn't end easily.

'Is this creature a hidden boss?'

My arms trembled. My legs wobbled. The creature also seemed exhausted.

Even a graze could be fatal to each other.

When we extended our claws and swords towards each other, our bodies crossed like in a movie.

"Haa... haa..."

Until the very end, it was Lee Ki-young who stood tall.

"Kro... ra... kr..."

"Haa... haa... haaak...."

[Lee Ki-young has achieved an achievement.]

[Tutorial Mob Defeated (1/1)]

"Shi... shit... Mob?"

[Upon accepting the title of Genius for the Dusk-colored sword god, Lee Ki-young has obtained a profession.]

[You have acquired the novice dusk examiner profession.]

"Shi...shit...."

"...."

"Shit!!! Screw this Murderous Swordsmanship!"

I had no choice but to throw the sword I held in my hand onto the ground.
