Chapter 11 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
That alone will be the prelude to how you can somehow pull this world that is heading towards destruction and make it a world where you can survive.
It is said that with such determination, Eugene launched himself towards the gatekeeper of the Demonic Cultivation Library, who was rushing towards him at a speed that could not be imagined for heavy armor.
+++
‘First, take away the weapon… !’
Currently, he was unable to defeat the gatekeeper in front of him with his bare body. After the cool-headed Eugene clearly recognized the fact, he decided to rob his opponent of a weapon that could be used as a means of counterattack.
In the original game, it wasn’t attacked this way. In the first place, it was a place where people rushed in with weapons, without having to do anything other than take them away.
And soon, as he came in without learning any abilities, he thoroughly analyzes the opponent’s patterns, blocks the opponent’s attacks through parrying, and repeatedly deals damage in the gaps created.
The boss you had to attack that way was the gatekeeper right in front of you. However, there was no weapon to try to parry Eugene with.
No, the parrying method itself was a game limitation in the first place.
Originally, actual fighting was an incredibly complex competition for survival that required not only parrying to create gaps by blocking the opponent’s attacks at the correct timing, but also the use of all kinds of combat techniques.
In that sense, Eugene had no intention of insisting on the way the game was played, even though he would just refer to the opponent’s patterns he knew through the game.
Therefore, he acted as soon as he realized that the gatekeeper was charging from the front, following the pattern he knew.
The essence scattered through the overwhelming sense of essence is used instead of the five senses.
Through this, he accurately saw the movement of the gatekeeper, which was impossible to follow with the naked eye, and then moved forward diagonally to the left.
Quang!
The action of avoiding an opponent’s attack while simultaneously digging into the opponent’s arms, specifically aiming for the opponent’s right elbow.
Through that action, Eugene narrowly avoided the guard’s attack by slipping it to the outside of the opponent’s elbow, and then without delay, he strongly rotated his body.
And at the same time, Eugene attempts a joint technique that uses the inertia of rotating the body by putting the opponent’s elbow under his armpit to break the gatekeeper’s arm.
Crunch… !
As a result, surprisingly, Eugene succeeded in breaking the right elbow of the gatekeeper who was swinging the huge greatsword like a sponge, and then snatching the opponent’s greatsword from his weakened grasp!
“Tch… !”
Of course, the opponent was not easy either.
By using the joint technique at the perfect time, Eugene used the force with which the opponent was swinging the great sword to break the joint, and when he snatched the great sword, he raised his arm and attempted to pin Eugene to the floor.
In response, Eugene clicked his tongue at the weight of the great sword, which boasted an enormous weight for him to wield, but immediately rotated his body in the air the moment it was lifted.
And Eugene swings the great sword using inertia in accordance with the rotation, cutting off the guard’s helmet.
At the same time, Eugene, who had taken a stance in the air using the weight of the great sword, which was almost flying due to inertia, kicked the guard’s shoulder and jumped backwards, widening the distance between him and the guard.
“… Okay, the helmet is this, not a hack, right?”
In an instant, Eugene used the enemy’s attack to steal the enemy’s weapon and even shattered the opponent’s helmet, but he soon opened his eyes sharply as he checked the momentum of the gatekeeper rushing towards him.
I couldn’t tell because I just had to reduce HP in the game, but since I received the reality patch, I would have to destroy the core that powers the Living Armor.
So, he first cut off the helmet, but when he saw it moving and charging without any problem, Eugene decided that there was no core in the head, so he immediately swung a large sword that was too large for him to wield and intercepted the charging guard.
‘Then let’s see if he can move even if his entire body is destroyed… !’
A moment of struggle that I wanted to escape from, but found again. In response, Eugene awakened the fighting instinct he had forgotten and revealed his true colors, who had previously been called Yasha.
Kwasik! Kwakagagak! Kaang!
Even if he was forcibly activated through essence, he wields a large sword that is too large for him to wield using inertia.
Four consecutive slashes struck in an instant.
No matter how heavy the greatsword was, the massive armor could not have offset the full force of the attack with just one strike, so he canceled out the opponent’s charge by slashing at the same spot four times in an instant.
Depending on the viewer, it seemed as if the great sword was swinging Eugene rather than Eugene swinging the great sword, but even so, the great sword being swung cut through Eugene exactly where he wanted it to be.
Kagagagagang!!
“Hmph!”
The fourth slash, following the third, collided with the gatekeeper’s lunging and swung fist, creating a struggle of strength.
He simply used the power of inertia to swing a greatsword that was too difficult for him to wield with his own physical abilities.
Even so, he was barely able to offset the opponent’s attack by overlapping the kinetic energy contained in the four slashes.
In other words, it was said that the power equivalent to that of the gatekeeper could be maintained only for a brief moment when the power added by inertia was maintained.
In other words, of course, within a few seconds, Eugene, who was competing with the gatekeeper’s fist with his great sword, began to be pushed back by the force.
-… !!
“Huh!”
But that’s a fact that Eugene, who has a lot of combat experience but is spoiled by it, is also aware of it.
Therefore, he did not miss the moment when he began to be pushed aside by the gatekeeper and took advantage of it.
At the moment when the power of inertia contained in the great sword disappeared and the great sword began to be helplessly pushed away by the heavy armor, he did the opposite and pulled the great sword into his arms.
In other words, it was only for a moment, but the power that was blocking the charge from the front with overwhelming power disappeared like a lie.
Naturally, the gatekeeper had no choice but to be slow in reacting to Eugene’s response, which was completely different from what he had expected.
As a result, the giant armored warrior subtly loses his balance forward while pushing Eugene’s great sword away with his fist raised.
The shaken balance is really small. With the skill of a gatekeeper, it was possible to instantly restore zero point in seconds.
However, that delicately shaken balance itself was a fleeting opportunity induced by Eugene. In other words, there is no way Eugene could have missed it.
“Ha!”
As proof of this, the moment the greatsword was pushed away, Eugene relaxed his arm and, conversely, entrusted the flow of the greatsword to the power contained in the gatekeeper’s fist. In an instant, he made a large turn and cut the guard’s knee with the greatsword.
Kagagagagang!!
Even if you cut it down, the opponent is an Enemy Boss with moving armor made of steel.
Naturally, its durability was outstanding, and the sparks that flew out the moment the knee was cut with the great sword proved this fact.
A greatsword that boasts overwhelming kinetic energy, capturing not only the power of the opponent’s fist through inertia but also absurd practical experience.
Normally, no, even fairly strong armor would not be able to withstand the slash of this great sword and would be cut down.
However, the armor that made up the opponent’s body itself was steel armor that had been strengthened with essence like Enemy.
Naturally, it boasts a level of durability that would be difficult to cut simply because it contains overwhelming power.
In fact, the knee joint where Eugene was cut had a fairly large scratch, but it was not completely cut.
Cough!
“Sigh!”
However, Eugene had expected that kind of result from the beginning.
Rather, what he was aiming for was to completely destroy the balance of the gatekeeper, who had been slightly shaken by a blow to his knee with a great sword.
Coo!
As proof of that fact, the gate gate, which had been completely thrown off balance by Eugene, fell to the right.
-… !!
Of course, the gatekeeper was not an easy enemy either. If it were easy, I wouldn’t have been in charge of Boss Enemy in the first place.
Therefore, the moment I fell, I tried to bounce back and get up as if it was natural, but there was no way Eugene, who had intended this situation, would allow that.
“Haaaaap!!”
The huge greatsword rotates once again and strikes with inertia towards the shoulder of the guard who momentarily lost his balance and fell down.
No matter how much he lost his status, he was the pinnacle of ability that had reached the status of an absolute person in the past.
Therefore, even if the body was trash, if the minimum conditions were met, it was possible to rotate the body at extremely high speed and handle even this huge sword as if it were limbs.
Normally, rotating the great sword to swing it through inertia would have created a huge gap in the opponent, and the gap would have been stabbed.
However, Eugene minimized the gap by mobilizing not only his arms and shoulders but all the muscles of his entire body to rotate his body at a speed that befits the description of a moment.
And naturally, they could not take advantage of the minimized gap to target the gatekeeper and had no choice but to allow the huge sword to be struck on their shoulder.
Wow!!
Hehe!!”
A huge sword that instantly penetrates deep into the guard’s shoulder. Even though the armor that made up the guard’s body was reinforced with essence, there was a limit to its durability.
This fact can be seen just by looking at the sizeable scar left on the knee joint.
And in this defenseless situation, if a great sword is struck precisely at the shoulder joint, it is possible to penetrate deeply even if it cannot completely penetrate the body of the guard.
Eugene didn’t stop there. In order to take advantage of this timing when the opponent’s posture was broken and inflict as much damage as possible, the great sword cut into the body of the guardian and moved the moment it stopped.
“Sigh!”
While holding on to the handle of the great sword, he threw himself over the gatekeeper’s shoulder.
Using his body weight and the inertia contained therein, he tumbled forward, crossed the gate, and landed on his back.
Naturally, the kinetic energy that Eugene created while tumbling gave him the strength to pull out the great sword that was stuck deep in the gatekeeper’s body.
“Hmm!!”
As a result, Eugene, who was immediately positioned behind the gatekeeper’s back with his sword drawn, turned half a turn and attempted to cut the gatekeeper’s side!
Kagagaga River!
However, the gatekeeper also emphasizes once again that he did not take on the position of Boss Enemy just because of a label.
It is said that due to Eugene’s overwhelming experience in combat, he absurdly moved as he intended, but he did not just tolerate it.
