Chapter 116 – 116 Dimensional Support (6)
*
“Are you okay?”
When I opened my eyes, I saw the pure white space I had seen before. I thought I had to move with Jackson’s body, but I was surprised.
“Is this your first place?”
“You’d better get some rest. Even if it is not real death, death is death.”
“It’s fine.”
When I first awakened my ability, I kept dying in a situation where I didn’t know anything, so this level didn’t matter anymore.
Freyja was looking at me with a worried expression, probably not knowing the circumstances.
“There may be aftereffects. Lie down a little longer and rest…”
For someone who had already died over 3 digits, it was just like everyday life.
Still, it wasn’t bad seeing Freya with a worried expression on her face.
Come to think of it, Makina only asked if she would give up, but I think it was too much to say that it was a discard card.
‘It’s different from Makina. Is that a normal reaction?’
[Absolutely not like that.. Just..]
‘Just?’
[ Sorry.. ]
“Should I start right away?”
“I can give you any amount of time! I could have won.. I really regret it.”
“What are you going to do by defeating the person you need to save? Thank you even for the empty words.”
I said I had time, so I closed my eyes and recalled Arya’s movements earlier.
I looked at how I moved mana in the same motion again.
“Siwoo..?”
“Shh.”
When she swings her sword, all parts of her body move simultaneously.
Depending on the position of her head, shoulders, arms, wrists, waist, legs, knees, and ankles, even light movements could exert tremendous power.
After paying attention to that and checking my posture, I saw that I lacked one part at a time.
Whether the angle of the elbow was slightly twisted or the waist did not turn when it should have turned more, I could see the parts I was disappointed with.
“Again..”
Like shadow boxing, create virtual enemies and move her body. Avoid his attacks and move while concentrating on the parts that are lacking.
Even with light movements, I concentrated and focused again so that my body would be completely in sync.
When I focused on the part I hadn’t paid attention to, my body creaked and my basic postures, which used to be fine, began to collapse.
It was not easy to break old habits.
With the idea of building up from the basics, I started again with light movements and corrected the parts that were out of place.
I couldn’t erase the awkward feeling, but as I tried more, my movements started to soften little by little.
[ Elenen Empire swordsmanship proficiency increases. ]
As I learned the natural movement like flowing water, the transition between movements began to speed up little by little with very minute differences.
In the movement to strike hard by giving strength to the whole body, he strikes with everything on the tip of the sword.
I moved my body without rest, feeling the movement gradually becoming more natural.
[ Elenen Empire swordsmanship proficiency increases. ]
As time passed, my heart beat faster, and my body was getting tired, but I couldn’t stop.
I felt like I could realize something if I did a little more, so I kept moving my body no matter how hard it was.
I poured all my nerves into the movement of my body in order to catch the sense of getting away from it.
The moment I thought my body had gotten used to the movement even without being aware of it, a notification sound rang.
[The level of ‘Ellenen Empire Swordsmanship’ has increased. ]
“Is it still this far?”
*
“Sorry, can you think about it again?”
“The boss just tells me to stop. We don’t need a weakling like him in our guards!”
“Be quiet.”
In front of Aria, she was screaming and seeing the guy holding her weight, she almost laughed, but she held it in.
When she told the chief of the guard she was quitting the guard, she tried to remain expressionless as the captain of the guard told her to reconsider with her brazen face.
I wanted to go out on my own anyway, but I pretended not to, so I returned the spear and equipment and left the guard.
Still before Arya and Adela arrived, I headed for the Cradle of Plenty.
“Welcome~”
When I entered, the owner greeted me with a business smile. I answered the innkeeper adequately and sat down to eat.
“What is delicious here?”
“The Meal of Plenty goes well.”
When the battle started, the innkeeper who disappeared before he knew it showed him what he saw on the menu board and muttered.
“Then give me that.”
“It is prepaid.”
I handed over the coin I had brought from Jackson’s house and sat down to wait.
It was already lunchtime, and since it was time, it was time to get hungry.
If he had been in the guard, he would have been checking at the entrance, but now he was free, not a guard.
Previously, they gave me lumps of rice balls or something, but I couldn’t eat properly because they were completely salted lumps and the amount was small.
To be honest, it was the worst. It made me want to eat cream soup instead.
If you keep eating, you will get bitten, but if there is nothing else to eat, you will go in well.
‘I don’t know these days.’
It would be better than the rice balls I ate earlier, but I was already worried about the food at the inn.
Recently, Seo Ah and Minji are by my side. Bonnie has been taking care of herself so much that her appetite has changed a bit.
These days, there are times when I just want to throw away tasteless food.
‘Throwing away food… That was unimaginable in the past.’
Compared to the variety of food available in modern times, you’d better not have high expectations for the food here.
Still, you have to eat to live, hard work will be waiting for you in the future, shouldn’t you fill your stomach?
Even if the food is tasteless, everything goes in if you want to live.
“Will you come in a little while?”
After eating moderately here, Adela and Arya will come into the inn.
Maybe it was because we ran into each other while working as a security guard, but because we were wary, we went bankrupt.
Jackson’s father said that he was Aria’s senior, so if you appeal to that, you’ll be able to break down Aria’s vigilance where her blade stands.
“The Meal of Abundance is here!”
A girl who appeared to be a waitress started putting food down on her table.
On the surface, it didn’t look bad. When I ate it, I was also disappointed that it felt a bit bland.
Still, compared to the rice balls I ate for the first time, when I thought I was a nobleman, two women wearing robes came inside.
Arya and Adela, Adela looked outwardly unwell.
“Welcome~”
“I want to stay overnight. If you have any good food, prepare that too.”
Arya said so and handed her money to her innkeeper.
“I don’t need change.”
“Oh, thank you!”
Away from me, Adela and Arya were sitting waiting for food.
The face visible from the inside of the robe was quite beautiful. It’s a bit worse than our kids, but that’s a pretty high-level appearance.
“… ?”
After examining the two, he met Arya’s eyes. It’s not like we have to fight again, right?
‘Machina, has Jackson’s father ever told Jackson about an aria?”
[Wait a moment, Siwoo.. Yes, I think I have. ]
Before Arya could be alert, she got up and spoke to her.
“Are you… A knight?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“Aria… Don’t be like that.”
“No. There is nothing wrong with being careful.”
As I approached, Arya narrowed her eyes and began to stare at her.
Even checking the sword at the waist was the momentum to fight straight away. I tried my best to show respect as much as possible.
“That sin… Sorry. You look like a knight.. I also want to become a knight..”
When she answered in the most pitiful voice possible, it was seen that Arya’s reaction softened a lot.
I didn’t get too close, because I wasn’t fully alert yet.
Maybe it was because he kept a distance where he could respond at any time, but his reaction wasn’t that sharp.
“The outside and the inside are different. Kid, is that sword a true sword?”
“Ah… It’s my father’s keepsake.”
“Is it..? Wait, that pattern looks familiar for some reason…”
Like the previous episode, it seemed to recognize the sword.
“What is your father’s name by any chance?”
“This is Reynolds.”
“Is it really Reynolds?”
I smiled inwardly.
*
“At that time, my senior helped me a lot. He was a really nice guy.”
“Did your father really do that?”
It is said that when Arya was young, Reynolds worked as a knight in the Valier estate.
He was a respectable knight for his outstanding skills and good personality, but on the night of the red moon, a large-scale monster attacked the manor.
At that time, he could hear the story that he died fighting to protect the territory.
“Yes! What a good knight he was!”
“I’m really sorry… It would be nice if Reynold-sama could be with us too…”
It was Aria who stretched out her fist first, and her demeanor changed when the story of Reynald came up. Fortunately for her, she knew Adela also knew Ray Nald and began to show moderate friendliness.
After hearing the story of me growing up alone without her parents, she took care of her as if she were her own child.
When she fought, she was irritating, but looking at her like this, she seemed like a decent woman.
“Did he say he wanted to be a knight?”
“Yes yes.”
“Can I check on you for a minute?”
“Yes..?”
As Arya said that, she started groping me. It’s just checking the state of strength, but with that appearance, it had quite a ripple effect.
If I was a normal guy, I wouldn’t have come to my senses, but I was fine because I was trained by my kids.
“It looks like he’s training, but this much isn’t enough… To become a knight, the most important thing is to use mana.”
They talked about light training methods, the spirit a knight should have, and that he would like to teach them when the time comes.
“I’m too late, but if I can teach you how to breathe mana, I’ll let you know.”
“How about mana breathing?”
“Yes, in order to use mana, it is the basic of the basics that must be learned.”
Can I use mana breathing to control mana? To be honest, I was intrigued.
‘But I mustn’t forget my duty.’
He seemed to have a good personality for those who thought he was on his side.
She thought Adela had more of her words, but she had more of Arya’s.
She could have been because Adela was in a bad state, but Arya was definitely a different person than her first impression.
“Sister, be careful with that.”
“Huh? What do you mean, Jackson?”
“I heard from the guards that a very bad criminal has entered the manor.”
“… “
She intends to warn them both before the guards attack.
Actually, the Eternal Church was more of a problem than the guards, but this time we won’t create a situation like the last episode.
‘You bastard Necromancers won’t get hit this time.’
