Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

The Devil’s Blessing (2)

Zhang Luxin noticed someone running towards him.

He was a muscular man with a bigger head than himself.

If he met such a big guy in Shanghai, he would have avoided him by trying to avoid eye contact as much as possible.

But he was different now.

‘Just another toy for me!

Laughing, Zhang Luxin made a giant’s fist using the darkness and smashed it down on him.

“Huh! Ridicu…”

Before he could even finish his words, the muscular giant swung his sword.

“Hump!”

The darkness broke apart, and in an instant, the opponent quickly removed the distance between them.

Not wasting a single second, he exerted out a frontal kick that successfully struck his darkened abdomen.

With a scream, Zhang Luxin was blown back.

“K-aaargh!”

The kick was so powerful it didn’t just blow him away. It made him bounce on the stone floor like a jetski.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

Upon hitting the wall of a building, the building shook as he left a crater on it.

Boom! Boom!

Zhang Luxin felt astonished. He groaned as the wall’s debris buried him.

“… What, what?”

* * *

A muscular warrior stood tall under the night sky.

He appeared in the moonlight, a magnificent greatsword in hand to match his tower-like figure.

The Hunters cheered at the majestic sight.

“It’s the Valtara warrior!”

The legendary Valtara warrior had arrived. They knew the Alien would no longer be able to run wild.

In relief, the Hunters stepped back.

“We’re safe…”

“Everybody, get away!”

A large space was created around Ryu Han-bin and Zhang Luxin.

As he came out through the collapsed wall, Zhang Luxin patted his neck.

“Oh, I was just off guard for a moment!”

Although the wall had been crushed, there was no wound on his body.

The darkness wrapped around his body raised his defense terrifically.

Ryu Han-bin pointed the tip of his greatsword at his opponent.

“Surrender, Alien!”

Zhang Luxin let the recommendation to surrender go out through one ear.

Instead, he looked at Han-bin and wondered.

“Level 5?”

Nonsense.

Just by looking at his kick, he could never be Level 5.

“Of course.”

As if convinced, he muttered.

“It seems that humans in this world are also using Unique Items.”

Ryu Han-bin was also puzzled.

Somehow the reaction was different from Alejandro’s.

‘Isn’t he suspicious that I’m an Earthling?’

Maybe he didn’t know anything because he just fell into Latna.

‘Does that mean that even normal Guidelines do not convey information about this world in detail?’

Han-bin didn’t respond.

‘There are too many eyes. I don’t want to risk a slip of the tongue.’

Raising his greatsword, the Valtara warrior burst into a roar.

“Gaaaaaargh!”

* * *

A meteor hit the black-haired Alien.

His terrifying sword cut through the air, but Zhang Luxin’s scimitar blocked it.

Daang!

Ryu Han-bin was confused for a moment.

‘He blocked it?’

Of course, he wasn’t putting a lot of strength into it.

He couldn’t kill it.

Still, he exerted enough power to make it hard to block.

‘He’s stronger than expected.’

Zhang Luxin launched a counterattack.

“Die!”

With a shout, he charged towards Han-bin.

Han-bin also quickly swung his sword to defend himself.

The two blades collided several times in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Whenever the blade struck, the darkness would burst forth along with loud clashing metallic sounds.

Every time their weapons connected, shocks crawled up his forearms.

Based on his strength, he seemed to be stronger than Alejandro.

‘I’m gonna have to loosen up a little bit more.’

Ryu Han-bin’s forearm swelled thickly, and his tendons outlined against his skin.

His black greatsword began to rush the opponent mercilessly with a violent gale.

“Taaaaats!”

As expected, there was no more counterattack when he decided to put more strength.

Zhang Luxin was only concerned with defense.

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

Nevertheless, he wasn’t pushed out.

Standing unwaveringly, he managed to block or avoid all sword attacks.

Ryu Han-bin stuck his tongue out.

‘How strong is this guy?’

Then Zhang Luxin spoke.

“How strong is this guy?”

“Pfftt!”

Han-bin laughed for a moment.

The other person was having the same thoughts.

The problem was that the laugh seemed to ridicule Zhang Luxin.

“You dare laugh at me?”

In anger, Zhang Luxin began to take action in earnest.

He activated a skill while swinging his scimitar continuously.

-Wind Rush!

A pitch-black vortex spiraled towards Ryu Han-bin.

At the same time, black lightning forked and crept up from both of his sides.

It was a pincer attack.

Han-bin turned around calmly.

That type of attack was familiar.

At the Rocky Mountain, giant Demon Dogs equipped with magic used to rush at him from all directions.

Ryu Han-bin slashed the tornado in front of him.

“Taaaats!”

It wasn’t the ‘real Horizontal Cut’ that he learned through the Guidelines.

It was a crushing blow that followed the teachings of Maxbrid Martial Art.

It was the ‘Horizontal Cut” that had been trained hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times over decades.

He had already mastered it, disallowing him from using it carelessly. Otherwise, he could eliminate his opponent in one blow.

Of course, the ordinary Horizontal Cut was also powerful.

The vortex of darkness was smashed singlehandedly.

Baaaang!

Han-bin’s cut power even struck the lightning behind his back.

The black lightning was torn, and the third burst of resilience flew towards the opponent’s head.

“Ugh!”

It was like a three-series of firework bursts.

The confused Jangr Luxin activated another skill.

-Block!

He had to stop the perfect swordsmanship technique.

Ryu Han-bin twisted his waist while he was swinging his sword.

The greatsword glided over the scimitar, causing sparks to fly.

He momentarily lowered his posture and delivered a low kick.

Unable to cope at all, Zhang Luxin couldn’t help but let the attack connect.

“Kaaaarh!”

Although it might seem simple, Han-bin’s attack contained the secret of Maxbrid Martial Art.

On the other hand, Zhang Luxin’s blocking was a skill learned from the Guidelines.

It was not a skill he had learned directly.

Only his outward appearance was plausible, but his understanding of actual swordsmanship was extremely poor.

‘You should have worked hard instead of relying on Guidelines!’

Ryu Han-bin, who caught the chance to win, began to charge forward in earnest.

He attacked from all directions.

A bomb-like strike blew in with a black wind.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

Zhang Luxin, who had been insanely pushed back, gritted his teeth.

“Tsk! This bastard!”

Darkness sprouted from his whole body, taking the form of a deadly beast’s sharp claws and attacking Ryu Han-bin.

“I’ll cut you, you little bastard!”

Looking at the claws of darkness flooding from all sides, Han-bin was nervous.

‘This is a bit tricky.’

It was harder to detect the darkness, which just ran wild freely, rather than a sword that only believed in skill and was wielded clumsily.

For now, he calmly avoided and started to defend.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a series of explosions, pitch-black fragments began to fall all over the place.

Zhang Luxin burst into a roar and pulled out the darkness again.

“Ahhhhhh!”

He shot, swung, and threw the darkness.

At the same time, he flew over, slashed, hacked, and stabbed with his scimitar.

Ryu Han-bin retaliated with ease using his black greatsword.

The scattered darkness overturned the streets, and a devious charge cut through the building.

Explosive sounds came and went endlessly.

The sounds of buildings collapsing and metals colliding awakened Highten’s night clamorously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

* * *

Artis and Effir just watched the battle from the sides.

“Umm…….”

“This is…….”

The original plan wasn’t like that.

Ryu Han-bin was just going to watch, and Artis or Effir was going to capture the Alien.

He was level 21 at best.

Artis aside, Effir alone had enough level to overpower him easily.

Ryu Han-bin, who could not control his strength, had a greater risk of killing the opponent.

But unexpectedly, the Alien was stronger than they were informed.

Effir clicked her tongue while holding her twin blades.

“We’re not a match to join them.”

While growing at a frightening pace, her level was still in the mid-30s.

Artis’s level was only in the mid-40s.

Neither had the guts to intervene in such an intense battle.

However, they couldn’t just let it go.

“Still, if it’s like this…”

Artis prepared magic as he kept thinking about the situation.

With his staff upright, he shouted.

“Everyone, step back! Wall of Fire!”

A huge wall of fire soared in front of the Hunters.

The Hunters were surprised by the high heat, causing them to jump away.

“Ugh?”

“Oh, are you blocking his retreat?”

“Tsk, I can’t see what’s happening.

Although they complained, the Hunters didn’t really find it strange.

It was natural to prevent the enemy from fleeing the battle.

With complacency, Artis gave a magic message.

-Their eyes are covered, Han-bin! You can fight comfortably now!

Ryu Han-bin’s face also brightened.

‘Artis! You’re smart, aren’t you?’

Han-bin flew away, bursting with energy.

“Taaaats!”

He intentionally exposed the gap and focused only on hitting.

Zhang Luxin was caught right away.

“Your body is open, you idiot!”

The spear of darkness immediately thrust at Ryu Han-bin’s heart.

At that moment, Han-bin tightened his pectoral muscles.

“Hmph!”

The spear’s blade couldn’t penetrate his body and instead was deflected away.

Zhang Luxin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Eeek!”

The black greatsword soon struck him.

Zhang Luxin also quickly lifted his sword to block it.

“No use!”

The scimitar’s blade and the darkness in it were both smashed simultaneously, causing a magnificent blast to reverberate.

Baaang!

Scattering with the darkness, the opponent flew away like a crotch leaf.

Zhan Luxin fell, his face filled with surprise.

‘Why are my attacks suddenly not working?”

Ryu Han-bin had always been capable of stopping his attacks with his bare body. He just decided against it due to the other Hunters around them.

They forced Han-bin to avoid the attacks of his opponent eagerly.

No matter how strong the legendary Valtara warriors were, it would’ve still been strange to bounce the darkness that could split rocks apart with only his muscles.

Han-bin looked down at the opponent.

“Now, I can ‘suppress’ you properly.”
