Chapter 7. How to Counter a Dragon Knight (3)
Kwaaaaaaaaang!
Splitting the Dragon Breath all the way, Sura's sword aura finally struck Gabras.
[Kyaaaaaaah!]
Gabras couldn't come to his senses for a moment.
And at that moment. Sura's attacks pour in.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 8th form. Giant Force Explosion.
Bahan Mashas flew into Gabras's chest,
From within, Sura quickly thrusts his sword.
The giant's power shoots out in all directions like an explosion.
[Kreureureu...]
Gabras stopped attacking.
Instead, he began to slowly descend to the ground.
"What are you doing! Gabras Abisius!"
Mar Svius, who had already recovered his wounds, scolds Gabras.
[I've had enough. I can't go on...]
"Don't make me laugh! The Sage like you, only this much? You bastard! You must have been holding back!"
[Even if I didn't use Magi and magic, that guy is real. You know that too, don't you?]
"...."
Mar Svius couldn't answer any longer.
Meanwhile, Gabras crash-landed in the capital's plaza.
Kuooooong!
The massive dragon's body shakes the capital.
Mar Svius clicked his tongue and got off Gabras's body.
"Damn it."
Ah haha Mar Svius, how does our Sura taste?
This is our king lolol Dragon? So what can you do lol
When he split the breath, I dropped the chicken I was eating lolol He's crazy for real lololol
The Elderbook Specters' reactions were even more intense.
Just fucking, our Sura King is the GOAT across the entire Ancient Book series.
Talian couldn't split Gabras's Dragon Breath either lololol
On top of veterans and rotten players, there's the Sura King for real haha
Hey, I'm going to spread this on foreign Reddit now lol Going to make our Sura King known worldwide lol
Michael Garcia, are you watching? This is Sura lol Our world's best is this strong lololol
It's almost shameful that only we see this haha We're watching it live lol
Meanwhile, Bahan Mashas also landed on the ground with Sura aboard.
[Now we just need to defeat that Mar Svius!]
"Understood. I'll take him."
[...I entrust it to you, knight who split the dragon.]
Sura, having dismounted, stared at Mar Svius, leaving Bahan Mashas behind.
"What is it, lackey of Lunance."
"Let's fight properly."
Sura aimed his sword.
And as if in response, Mar Svius also raised his sword.
"Evil begins by not ignoring the goodness of the good and by slaying them."
"I am the fastest in the world, and from now on I will prove it."
"From now on, I shall enter the ranks of the invincible."
Why is he reciting such chuunibyou lines?
It seems chuunibyou, but that's Magic. Mar Svius is also learning Magic in his own way.
Aha!
Looks like he used them all? Used all 3 maximum slots. Plus one is an invincibility skill haha
Info) Basically, damage increase against good-aligned characters, speed increase, and using an invincibility skill.
Sura quickly scanned the chat containing information.
'Invincibility skill, speed increase, damage increase...'
And Mar Svius didn't stop there.
"Oh noble lord of destruction and master of all evil, Garuan Maphraas-siyeo. May I use your power?"
A massive black lightning bolt fell from the sky, striking Mar Svius, answering his question.
Garuan Maphraas's power fills Mar Svius.
"...Why did you wait?"
Until now, Sura had silently waited for him.
Even when Bahan Mashas said something, Sura remained still.
"Come at me with all your strength. Without regret."
"...You bastard...!"
Sura thought that at least this much was needed to make the fight enjoyable.
Romantic full force combat
Sura is confident he can beat even a Mar Svius enhanced to that extent.
It's a risky move, but the romance is real lol
Sura looked at Mar Svius.
The two assumed their stances.
Both of their bodies shoot forward at the same time.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 9th form. Cold Wind Chaotic Dance.
Chivalry manifests from Sura's sword, and soon it begins to take on the nature of wind.
Chivalry envelops his entire body, guiding his movements with wind, and as a result, Sura begins to keep up with Mar Svius's incredible speed.
And this speed even affects his sword. The power of speed begins to dwell in his blade.
"Prove it like a Magic spell. That you are the fastest."
And Sura's speed doesn't stop there.
Heavenly Evasion Footwork. The peerless footwork that the Sword Immortal Yeo Dongbin once wielded unfolds.
Finally. Sura catches up to Mar Svius's speed.
Dozens of exchanges happen in an instant.
"Not yet."
The black lightning stemming from Mar Svius's sword surges and finishes preparing to create a storm.
Mar Svius thrusts his sword into the air in an instant, then creates a massive storm of sword aura.
A storm composed of black lightning and sword aura advances toward Sura!
Sura immediately stepped back.
And prepared the 10th form of the Sura Pacheon Sword Technique.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 10th form. Darkness Lightning.
In a way, this form is similar to the Thunder Power Under Heaven of Inundation Hell, but its power is different. The light born in darkness was more subtle than it appeared.
Like a sword shining alone in the darkness.
Covertly and strongly. It shoots toward the opponent.
A thin black line is drawn in the air, and soon it disrupts the massive storm of sword aura.
This black line was not just one.
With a single swing, black threads are drawn in the air, and these black threads soon form a vast chaos.
They end up tearing Mar Svius's storm to shreds.
And what appeared after tearing the storm was Sura's hidden dagger.
"Kkeok!"
At the moment when Mar Svius was exhausted and off guard from creating the storm, the storm tore apart before his eyes, and Sura's sword flew toward his neck.
But. Sura's sword was blocked by the power of Magic.
Ah this! The invincibility skill!
Too bad, really too bad
Despite the Tusu's disappointment, Sura didn't show any regret.
He didn't expect him to die from this.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 6th form. Poison Dragon Fangs.
This form contains a principle that, like the fangs of a poison dragon, fiercely bites and leaves one's own energy in the opponent's body, preventing them from properly using their energy.
But whether Chivalry here would operate as Sura thought was uncertain.
Therefore, Sura chose a different energy to replace it, which was frostbite and burns manifested by ice and fire.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. Combination. Yin-Yang Dragon.
His Chivalry burns fiercely and freezes.
Using two opposing energies, he makes his sword emit both energies, which soon manifests into the forms of two dragons.
If you're a Western dragon, we're an Eastern dragon
Ah lol Want a taste of dragon?
Leaving the Tusu's admiration behind, Sura shoots out the two dragons.
Shaking the ground violently and making the sky slowly roar, the two dragons swim fiercely toward Mar Svius.
"Haaaaaap!"
The power of black lightning received from Garuan Maphraas surges from his sword path.
The two dragons advance, destroying the wildly charging black lightning,
and finally succeed in reaching Mar Svius.
"Kyaaaaaaah!"
Mar Svius's invincibility skill activated again.
But even he could not avoid the DoT damage from frostbite and burns.
As evidence of frostbite and burns, his body was frozen and left with burning wounds.
"This much is nothing!"
Even as he said that, Mar Svius's complexion was poor.
Yeah, now only one invincibility left~
Sura! That invincibility Magic is three times total! He's used it twice so far! Keep that in mind!
Instead of answering, Sura nodded.
One more time. If he lands one more effective hit, his invincibility will be broken.
But.
'I'll make even invincibility useless. I'll go all out!'
What began was the Heavenly Evasion Footwork.
The power of the Sword Immortal spreads across the Moranas world, reaching the enemy in an instant.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 9th form. Cold Wind Chaotic Dance.
At the same time, the energy of wind released as sword aura heads toward Mar Svius.
And then follows the sword dance of the Sura Pacheon Sword Technique.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 4th form. Bamboo Forest Sword Garden.
The energy of Chivalry takes on the nature of wood, and a bamboo forest rises up to engulf Mar Svius.
But this was just the beginning.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 1st form. Ten Thousand Swords Never Retreat.
Ten thousand swords charge toward Mar Svius.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 3rd form. Ice Flower in the Cold.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 2nd form. Flame Erupting Mountain Covering the World.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 6th form. Poison Dragon Fangs.
The power of ice and fire, contained in the dragon's fangs, begins to roar,
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 5th form. Snake Tongue Blade.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 10th form. Darkness Lightning.
Covert movements target his back,
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 8th form. Giant Force Explosion.
The immense power of a giant sings of this battle.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 7th form. Cutting All Things.
The sword that cuts all things adds harmony to this.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 11th form. Thunder Power Under Heaven.
Sura Pacheon Sword Technique. 11th form. Roaring Heaven Chaotic Dance.
Finally, the power of storm dwells in one person, completing the end of this prelude.
The power of the world's best, which brought one world to its knees, descends upon this world.
What the fuck, does this make sense?
Can you really move that freely?
For real;; Light then heavy, moving like a completely different person;;
This is the world's best...
It's really not a lie to call him the world's best.
Meanwhile, the Elderbook Specters' reactions were divided into two.
Elderbook Specters who want to become one with Sura now, hit like lololol
Fucking GOAT bastard! If they say 'Watch the deceased's amazing plays' at a funeral, you'd have to stay up all night for real hahahaha
Ah lol I'm really so happy lol
Mar Svius is a really hard boss, but Sura's form overwhelming him like this is crazy hahaha
This is just play that makes you want to devote your soul lolol
Other specters were also reacting while preparing something.
Fundraising ready? Everyone?
Let's start fundraising after the battle so it doesn't interfere.
I want to pay an admission fee or something. When will Sura become a partner streamer?;;
For real lol
While they were chatting, the sword dance gradually stopped.
What emerged through the thick dust and fog was Mar Svius in a gruesome state.
The invincibility skill had long ended, his body was covered in stab wounds, and he couldn't properly open one eye after losing it.
And his left arm was gone, with one arm nowhere to be seen.
It was embarrassing to call him a strongman of the entire Salas continent.
"Ha...haa..."
Meanwhile, Sura couldn't exert proper strength either.
He had overdone it.
The power of Chivalry, which had reached the expert level, was now at rock bottom, and his health, stamina, and mana were all depleted.
It would have been dangerous moments if not for the recovery effect from leveling up in between.
Sura was standing, leaning on his sword.
However.
'I can fight.'
Even if all stats are at zero. As long as there's a handful of strength.
Sura could fight.
Sura was enjoying this moment.
'This is fun...'
He was growing more fond of this virtual reality.
Meanwhile. Mar Svius mutters quietly.
"Am...amazing... Champion of Runans Abervich."
"But..."
The bizarre-looking necklace around Mar Svius's neck emits a black light.
"My lord and master... May I dare use the offering?"
[Dare you try to ruin this with your personal feelings?]
For a moment, the world shook.
A monster who vies for the top in power among the Demon Dukes.
It was the aftermath of Garuan Maphraas's manifested voice.
"Kyaaaaaah!"
As soon as Garuan Maphraas finished speaking, a black energy enveloped Mar Svius,
and he began to writhe in pain.
The black energy disappeared immediately, but Mar Svius's expression was even worse, as if he had suffered severe pain.
[I do not permit it.]
"...I understand."
Mar Svius's face hardens for a moment, but soon he acquiesces to Garuan Maphraas's words.
Wow. Is he going back now?
Crazy haha He really fought properly and left haha
Wow. That's insane. Stopping a mid-to-late game boss is really amazing.
While the Tusu are admiring Sura for repelling Mar Svius,
a really unexpected thing happens.
"Coward. You're leaving like this?"
Sura shouted at Mar Svius!
?????
No, are you crazy lololol
He grabs the guy who's about to leave and wants to keep fighting for real lol
Seems like he wants to finish it for good lol He's crazy for real lololol
It was regrettable.
He still had strength to fight. Even if it was just a handful of health. As long as there was even a little left, fighting was what a martial artist did.
Because that was the daily life of Murim.
At that moment when Sura tried to grab Mar Svius,
[That's enough, Champion.]
"...Keoheok!"
Blood spurts from Mar Svius's mouth upon hearing someone's voice.
The necklace Sura was wearing glows, emitting a red light.
Soon, a gate opens beside Sura, and a god descends upon this place.
Our Lunance noona is here!
Oh what. Lunance is appearing???
This seems like Lunance intervening is part of the story?
Hmm. It kind of looks like the AI is hastily stepping in because Sura tried to grab Mar Svius...
While the Tusu make various guesses. Beside Sura, the Throne of Madness.
Lunance appears.
Her long red hair flowing past her waist. Lunance.
She stands beside Sura and slowly looks at him.
"Tch. You're quite injured."
"It's nothing. I'm fine, pretty much."
"Step back now. I'll handle the rest."
"...Too bad."
Sura found it awkward to refuse his own Throne, Lunance, so he stopped stepping forward.
Lunance glances at the disappointed Sura for a moment, then glares at Mar Svius.
"...You've shown your true body, Lunance."
For some reason, Lunance manifested on this land in her female form, not the male form she usually showed externally.
"Disgusting creature. I only came in this form for this child."
"...Your love for your champion is remarkable..."
"Shut up. He is a child I cherish."
Lunance narrowed her eyes and scolded Mar Svius.
"Begone now, you foolish slave of a demon."
She crosses her arms and looks at Mar Svius.
"Do you want to get beaten more by my champion?"
"...Heh. You say amusing things, Lunance."
Ggadeudeuk.
"If it weren't for Garuan Maphraas-nim's orders, I would have torn your champion's limbs apart."
"Fool. The words of someone whose left arm was cut off by my champion hold no trust."
"Heh. You never lose an argument, do you."
Ggadeudeuk.
Still grinding his teeth, Mar Svius begins to mutter something.
[Return.]
As Garuan Maphraas's words echo, Lunance sneers.
"Heh. Demon Duke or champion, you're both cowards."
[I wish you would stop flapping that mouth, Lunance. If you want to see your precious champion's limbs torn off, feel free to continue speaking.]
"Go ahead. There's no way my champion would fall to a bastard like you."
While the fierce conversation between the Demon Duke and the Throne continues, Mar Svius's muttering ends, and soon a portal appears beside him.
Mar Svius looks at one side as if he missed something, but after looking at Lunance and Sura's faces, he enters the portal.
The battle was over.
"Mar Svius must still be useful to Garuan Maphraas. If I hadn't stepped in, he might have suffered great damage from Garuan Maphraas."
But the worry was brief.
"But it was quite fun, Champion."
It was the Throne of Madness calmly expressing her enjoyment.
While the Tusu call her a crazy bitch, Sura continues speaking.
"I'm glad. That you found it quite enjoyable."
"Hehe. The future is even more anticipated."
After downing the remaining Uban-brand potion that he couldn't drink during battle, Sura faced Lunance.
Lunance sat on a piece of building debris and looked at Sura. Her tall height made Sura's eye level not much different even when she sat.
"...You seem quite pleased?"
"Ah. It was quite fun."
It was indeed fun. This fight was a real proper fight since returning to Earth.
Sura, growing more fond of this world.
'...Streamer... Should I make it my main job...'
While he falls into brief contemplation, Lunance continues.
"Hehe. The world is becoming interesting. I too am becoming interested thanks to you. Lately, there's been nothing but boring things. It's become very interesting."
The two smiled at each other, both finding it enjoyable.
Soon, Lunance's hand reaches toward Sura's head.
Lunance strokes Sura's head for a moment and continues.
"If you have time... go visit the Knight Lord, Merbian Abiana."
"...Reason?"
Could it be that there's something about Merbian Abiana?
"Raid him. That guy."
"...What?"
"You are strong enough now, but wouldn't it be better to be stronger? That guy has something interesting, so go raid him."
Lunance takes her hand off Sura's head, strokes her chin for a moment, and mutters.
"He's a foolish follower of a god, so I have no guilt."
"Mm. I understand for now."
Having said that, Lunance points a finger at the sword Sura holds.
"Have you seen the sword I gave you?"
"No?"
"Take a look. Seeing you struggling, I thought I should give you power."
Sura immediately checked the sword.
[Lunance's 'Shadow of the Crescent Moon']
Attack Power 50 Weight 45 Price ????
20% chance to steal 20 HP from the opponent.
20% chance to steal 20 MP from the opponent.
20% chance to steal 20 Stamina from the opponent.
"Oh...?"
"You seemed lacking in basic abilities during the battle. I just unlocked some of the seals. It takes a lot of work."
Additionally, Lunance added a fourth-wall-breaking explanation that she could unlock the seals because her level had risen somewhat.
'Hmm. It's not as good as the ability in the divine realm... but it's good.'
Seeing the Tusu say it's decent upon seeing the item description, it seemed truly decent.
He briefly opened the settings window to check his level, and Sura's status showed level 33. Sura noted this and closed the settings window.
As he looked at Lunance sitting before him, she stood up.
"...It's going to get even more interesting from now on."
Lunance, standing at 2m tall, stood before Sura and slightly bowed her head. With that, the Throne and Champion matched in height.
"I like you very much. This power, and this madness. Aren't you the perfect being for me?"
Lunance grabbed Sura's chin with her hand.
"Didn't you promise? Next time, the lips."
"Huh?"
Lunance's lips touched Sura's in an instant.
Their kiss lasted for a long while.
...And the uproar of the Elderbook Specters also continued.
