Chapter 56 – The Hero of the Fantasy World
“Don’t you learn from the original posture?”
“I only teach practice. Come on.”
Having said that, Arkhan kept his mouth shut as if he had no intention of answering any more questions.
Seeing Arkhan like that, I rushed at him, thinking that I would give it a try since it won’t hurt much even if I get hit thanks to my evolved body.
I ran out with the sword in front of my chest and aimed for Arkhan’s chest with a thrust that even a beginner could easily do.
Arkhan, who was watching the trajectory of my sword, gently laid the sword aside and let my stab go away.
‘It’s not easy to put on strength.’
If it had been a fist, he would have been able to break that wooden sword with all his strength, but he wasn’t used to putting his strength into something else he was holding in his hand, not his body, so it didn’t come out as powerful as he thought.
Afterwards, Arkhan, who let go of the stab, saw an opening and immediately aimed for my side with the same stab as I did.
With reflexes that are already out of the ordinary human range, he took a step back and avoided the sword, while at the same time turning his body as it was and swinging his sword at Arkan’s body with all his might.
– Booung!
‘Eek!’
Arkhan, who saw the wooden sword swung with a rather bloody sound, gave up the attack and stepped back, perhaps not knowing that he would be able to attack with such power with his back collapsed.
“As expected, your reflexes and strength are really monster-like. But you only know how to use your body well, you don’t know how to handle a sword.”
Arcan, who had already learned that Lee Jin-seok could not properly power the wooden sword, began to attack boldly with the purpose of shedding all attacks.
I was still in the process of getting used to the sword in my hand, so I desperately blocked or dodged his attacks to pass the time.
‘I’ll soon know how to use it.’
Thanks to the evolved body, this unmatched talent of the body is perfect for beginners who have never held a sword in their entire life.
How to hold the sword, what sword to draw now, how to block the opponent, how to block the opponent’s attack and counterattack, were automatically punched into the body.
As time passed, I began to get used to the wooden sword in my hand, and Arkhan admired in his mind my movements that changed as the swords faced each other.
‘Huh… It looked like it was the first time I caught it, but the level has already risen to the level of a soldier who has received basic training.’
When I first grabbed the sword, I was a beginner who didn’t even know how to hold the sword properly, but the longer and longer the sword holding time, the different the way I held the sword, and the sharpening of the sword also became quite neat.
After about 30 minutes of sparring like that, I had already learned all the basic stances by myself, and now I gradually exchanged swords while responding to Arkhan’s familiar sword method.
Arcan, who seemed to think that no further sparring was necessary for me, swung his sword wide, then stepped back and put his sword back.
“Ah…!”
“This is enough.”
‘I thought I could win with just a little more.’
Now that I’ve gotten used to the sword, I tried to try various methods, but when I cut it off at the ghostly timing, I felt a sense of loss of strength in my body.
“Lee Jin-seok, you have a great talent, and even though I didn’t teach you, you established your own attitude.”
“Then how will you teach?”
“I’ll teach you basic swordsmanship, but stereotypical education isn’t good for a genius like you. Fighting like a real battle would be the best way for you.”
After thinking about my teaching method for a while, Arkhan left after teaching me the basic posture of wielding a sword, such as horizontal cutting, seed cutting, and stabbing.
After Arkhan left, as he told me, after swinging the sword alone for about an hour, I felt that my posture was getting used to to some extent.
‘Kya! If I can feel this sense of accomplishment quickly, I will be happy no matter what I do.’
After swinging my sword for several hours alone in the clearing with the power of my first-feeling talent, I went home to sleep when the day dawned.
After spending time learning swordsmanship, sparring with Arkan, having sex with Louis, or flirting with Erica, I listened to the system and went outside with my sword ready.
[User, orcs are currently approaching the village.]
‘How many?’
[There are 13 of them.]
‘How long do you think it will take to get here?’
[It will likely appear within 20 minutes.]
While waiting for the orcs to come while talking to the system, the village started to become noisy.
– Deeng! Deeng!
“It’s an assault! The elderly, children, and women all evacuate to the chief’s house, and all men gather in front of the wooden fence!!”
With a loud sound, the bell informing the village of danger rang, and people began to evacuate as the guards said.
The men immediately moved to the place where the weapons were piled up and gathered in front of the wooden fence with weapons one by one.
“Currently, orcs are coming towards the village. Since they are vicious, we must all form a group to prevent them from ever entering the village!”
“No, there are hardly any monsters around here, but why are the orcs suddenly here!”
“Let’s put those thoughts aside and prepare for now!”
All the men in the village formed their own groups and waited for the orcs to come.
‘It’s finally here!’
Watching them like that, I was delighted to know that the long-awaited event had finally arrived, and I held up the sword that Arkhan handed over to practice.
“By the way, when will Mr. Arkan come?”
“I went to call as soon as I checked earlier, so let’s just hold out until he comes!”
Shortly after standing on the wooden fence, 10 orcs with green pig heads and bodies over 180cm tall with strong muscles appeared from the forest, salivating and holding stone axes.
“Come! Shoot the bow first!”
At one man’s command, people began to shoot the crude bows in their hands, but such a bow only scratched the thick orc hide.
“The bow is useless!”
“Everyone, go downstairs and block the entrance!”
Those who confirmed that the bows did not work went downstairs to block them from the entrance, held their spears, and gulped their saliva while waiting for them to appear.
– Kwakang!
When people were nervous and swallowing their saliva, not knowing when they would come, a loud sound was heard from beyond the wooden fence, and soon after a thumping sound was heard, the door collapsed with a crackling sound.
“Chwiiik!”
“Kuwiyi profit!”
The orcs who appeared with the sound of beasts that they did not want to hear rushed at the people as soon as they saw them, and to prevent the people from rushing, the people put their spears out in the approaching path.
-Thud! Coo kung!
“Push as hard as you can!”
The people who first blocked the orc’s rush by rolling it into a square shape gave more strength to the hand holding the spear and withstood the rush.
As they ran ignorantly, the spear-pierced ones screamed in agony, their eyes red and bloodshot, and they swung stone axes in their hands.
“Keugh! Help come here, I can’t stand it!”
“I can’t afford this either!”
“Everyone hold out until Arkhan comes, because if we break through, it’s the end!”
No matter how basic the training was, there were people who met the monsters for the first time, and those who were intimidated by the monsters’ lives were unable to demonstrate their strength and began to be pushed back by them.
I stayed behind to prevent the orcs from entering the village ignoring the square, but I rushed to the place where support was needed and swung the sword I was quite used to at him.
“Chwiaak!”
The orc, whose side was cut long by my sword swung aiming for an opening, splattered green blood and screamed as his stance collapsed.
As a result, one of the villagers who was confronting him put a spear through his throat.
“Die!”
“Kreukreuk…!”
As a result of the Orcs confronting people or popping out to provide support at every dangerous moment, out of the 10 Orcs, only 5 were able to move properly.
“It’s not long now, so everyone wake up and pressurize!”
As the few remaining were surrounded and everyone was starting to finish, screams were heard from the place where children, the elderly, and women had taken refuge.
“Kyaaaaac!!”
“What’s the matter!”
“Looks like there are more orcs in the back.”
“Sir…”
The man who had been giving orders until now, biting his lip
After thinking about it and seeing him like that, I thought I finally had a good opportunity, so I told him I would go alone.
“For now, I will go alone. Please finish quickly and come.”
“Can you survive alone?”
“About 5 can survive alone.”
“No, but I’m reckless on my own. Take Woody and Jake here.”
“Yeah.”
Even if two more people came along, it wouldn’t help much, but I didn’t know how many of them there were, so I took them with the intention of using them as sacrifices in case of danger.
“Move quickly!”
After finishing the story, I took Woody and Uncle Jake to the place where the screams were heard.
Arriving there, he saw Renée, who had just been married in the village, clinging to the orc’s shoulders.
“Rene!”
As soon as Uncle Jake, who was usually close to Rene’s sister’s husband, saw it, he screamed and ran away. Seeing that, I sighed and quietly went back so as not to be noticed by the orcs.
‘Why are you yelling and fucking when it’s a good situation to take a surprise attack?’
I glared at Uncle Jake, who had blew up a good chance of inflicting a fatal blow, and regretted bringing him. I used him as a bait to slowly approach from the orc’s blind spot.
“Chwiik!”
Recognizing the attack from the sound coming from behind her, the orc threw Renée who was carrying her on her shoulder to the ground, took out a long stone knife from her waist, and confronted Uncle Jake.
“Woody, I’ll draw attention from the front, so if there’s an opening, stab the spear.”
“Yes Yes…!”
Woody, distraught at the situation he had experienced for the first time in his life, trembled and instinctively responded to Jake’s words, but he was in a situation where he could not do anything because of the fear of seeing a monster for the first time.
‘I’m so scared…’
While being trained by Uncle Arkan, I thought that if a monster appeared, I would be able to deal with it quickly.
Woody couldn’t move his body properly because of the hideous appearance of the orcs, which he had never seen before, and the tremendous murder they spewed out.
