Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 76:

I opened my eyes.

“….”

Four men and women were looking down at me.

Reyna was crying, and Mahol had a murderous look in his eyes.

Ellis’ eyes were emotionless and a little scary, and Beatrice was strangely glaring at me.

It’s quite burdensome.

“What are they gathering for?”

As I got up, I touched the ground.

But there was something that caught my eye.

I held a sword in my hand that glowed even in the dark basement.

“Are you okay?”

“huh.”

It’s really okay.

In fact, it was even more lively than before catching the basilisk.

To the point where it’s a little puzzling.

“How much time has passed?”

“The sun is just starting to set.”

The sun was just coming up when I entered the basement, and I spent a lot of time catching the basilisk.

I can’t say that the time I fell unconscious was that long.

If I had to calculate it, it would be about 2 or 3 hours.

I recovered faster than when I collapsed before.

‘Aurors are similar to muscles.’

Aura, the mana used by knights, was also similar to human muscles.

Just as muscles become stronger the more you use them, the more you use them, the more your Aura changes to suit you.

Side effects are reduced, loss of power is reduced, and conversely, that power increases.

My current state can be considered an Auror’s adaptation period.

At least because this body has formed 1 circle, there is less resistance to using mana.

‘But that doesn’t mean I have a short supply.’

A wizard’s mana and a knight’s aura are different.

It is true that both draw from natural mana, but things change after that.

Wizards use circles and knights use single combat.

The mana of wizards and knights has different properties.

For example:

If the great ocean is mana, knights and wizards are the rivers and streams that flow from the ocean.

A wizard’s mana is like water, and a knight’s auror is like lava.

Just as the two become confusing when mixed, it is difficult for a wizard’s mana and a knight’s auror to mix.

The magic swordsman made it possible for the two to coexist.

Although they have the advantage of being able to use magic and aura at the same time, unfortunately, they generally stagnate in a certain range.

It’s too much to dig into just one thing, but if you try to dig into two branches, you won’t be able to do either.

‘The reason why magic swordsmen can exist is because Danjeon and Circle coexist.’

The Magus basically has two mana stores.

Heart and dantian.

Because there are two, it is possible to use magic and aura simultaneously.

I don’t have that.

To be exact, there is no disconnection.

I’ve never learned any separate Auror training methods, so there’s no way I could have a dantian.

However, it did not use the circle’s mana.

A wizard’s mana is different from a knight’s auror, and to be honest, I still don’t know how to use it.

The reason I was able to use Aura was because I drew mana from the surroundings rather than from the Danjeon.

“It’s difficult.”

“yes? “What did you say?”

“no. nothing.”

difficult.

What I can tell now is that the auras I use do not conflict with the circle in my heart.

So, I was able to stay fine until now.

“And what is that sword?”

“this?”

Mahol’s eyes sparkled and he pointed at my sword.

My curiosity arose as I held a sword in my hand that I had never seen before, which had not been there before I entered the North.

I am a famous swordsman! Because it was a sword that boasted a sharp blade that seemed to shout.

It’s no wonder that someone who uses a sword is interested in good-looking swords.

“The trophies obtained from killing the basilisk?”

Mahol’s eyes quickly scanned the sword.

Greed appeared in those eyes and then disappeared.

“What about the basilisk?”

“Beth dismantled everything and packed it away.”

Beatrice dismantled it herself?

I can’t really imagine.

“I just did the obvious.”

Beatrice turned her head to avoid my gaze, as if she was embarrassed.

Thanks to her, I was able to skip the cumbersome process, so I was quite grateful for that alone.

“thank you.”

She didn’t give much of an answer.

I just nodded slightly.

“First of all, it’s late at night today, so it would be better to move tomorrow.”

In the North, it is better not to move at night.

The monster is very dangerous because it goes into a state similar to Berserker at night.

In particular, they have a habit of flocking to people when they spot them, so no matter how strong they are, they hide at night unless they are a sword master or archmage.

***

Unlike the sweltering desert, the morning in the mountains was cool.

It was a bit surprising that there was such a difference in temperature even though it was only one foot difference.

How much time had passed since we started moving to the center of the mountain range?

Beatrice muttered quietly as if she was puzzled.

“Can’t you see the monster?”

“Because there is a selection team.”

I answered briefly.

Before we arrived, this place had been swept away by mercenaries and knights.

I don’t know if it’s been more than a month.

No matter how prolific the northern monsters are, it is difficult to fill the empty space overnight.

“Would it be okay?”

Beatrice looked back at me with a slightly anxious look.

We hunted basilisks, and the value of the by-products would be enormous.

After the people here distributed the money, there was little I could actually get.

At most, about two or three hundred gold.

Although they hunted sandworms, they did not take the by-products.

Considering the magic stones I used here, it is difficult to cover the money I used to enter the North.

Beatrice is worried about that.

Moreover, since they had heard about the situation I had created at the inn before coming in, their worries would have been even greater.

What if I go back without being able to catch the monster like this?

I can worry because I don’t know who I am.

“are you okay.”

It’s really okay.

Rather, it was good.

It was very comfortable because I didn’t have to move around in a difficult or bothersome way.

“But it seems too quiet.”

That is correct.

As Mahol said, the forest was extremely quiet.

Originally, the farther into the center of the mountain range the more monsters there had to be.

Even though there was an advance team.

“It’s quiet, but it’s still too quiet.”

The closer you are to the center, the greater the quantity and quality of monsters.

This means that people’s survival rate is dropping, and a situation is happening where monsters are hunting people.

In particular, monsters that do not exist in other regions live in the north.

There just isn’t a high-ranking entity like a dragon.

Wyverns, Giant Ent Lamians, and even Manticores.

The northern part was full of monsters that would be a disaster if they appeared in the city.

‘Anyway, this is a bit too much.’

This was too much to do.

It seems like I went quite deep, but I couldn’t even see the common goblins, let alone monsters.

“What on earth happened?”

This was a situation that would not be strange even if a superhuman like a sword master or archmage had made up his mind and entered the North.

Or that the empire is conducting a major cleansing of the north.

‘But it couldn’t have been that way.’

If there was such a thing, there’s no way I wouldn’t have known about it.

Because it must have come from the original.

“There is a sign ahead.”

Mahol reflexively raised his dagger and placed Raina on his back.

It seems like his senses are getting sharper as time goes by.

I was already aware of something I couldn’t feel and was preparing for it.

“Oh shit! “This time it’s complete nonsense!”

“Where did the monster come in? Hey hey!”

A group of people who appeared from behind a tree were spouting all kinds of curses.

Their eyes were red and bloodshot and their physical condition was not very good.

There was blood and flesh stuck together, and it looked like it had been there for several days.

“uh? what?”

“Hey there!”

They spot us and approach us in stride.

Then he suddenly yelled at me not to go inside.

While I was dazed by the unexpected situation, they began to air their complaints.

“Mr. No. There’s nothing to be gained by going here! “All we did was catch a goblin!”

“There are no monsters like that? The troll’s head flies off with a single strike of the sword. I don’t know if that’s all. Fuck. There is no commercial morality, there is no commercial morality! You need to know that moderation is okay. “What are we supposed to eat for a living?”

“You look rough from the beginning. “The words don’t seem to make sense, so why?”

“If that were the case, it wouldn’t be this unfair. “Does it make sense to swing a sword just because you’re told to do so in moderation?”

They were swearing at someone.

“If you’re going to go in, I recommend you stop.”

“Monsters are monsters, but there’s no chaos in there. “The kids go crazy because they can’t hunt monsters.”

“Don’t just go in and get killed. “Wait here for some time and then go back.”

Very kind.

They were so friendly that I naturally became wary of them.

“Red Mill.”

Mahol sneakily came next to me and hit my arm.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

Because I know what Mahol felt and what he was saying to me.

‘It might be dangerous. ‘I don’t know who it is because of.’

What they tell us is probably not wrong.

They were clearly talking about the situation inside.

They even kindly told me to go back.

“Thank you for your concern.”

I placed my hand on the handle of my sword and glanced at them.

He was smiling a kind smile.

Just like that mouth.

Unlike their smiling mouths, their eyes were cold.

I spoke to them as they quickly looked at us with eyes filled with various negative emotions.

“We will take care of it.”

I lightly drew my sword and glared at them.

Beside him, Mahol secretly became angry.

I felt mana gathering in one place behind my back.

Beatrice may have belatedly realized the situation and is preparing magic.

A fierce spirit began to emanate from them as well, and they glared at me.

That too for a while.

“…If we had said this much, you would have understood. “They aren’t even children.”

“I guess so? Well, there were times when we showed off too much.”

“sorry. We were hasty. Then good luck!”

The bloody atmosphere was broken in an instant and they passed us by.

One of them who was just passing by me looked back at me and muttered softly.

“I hope I see you smiling next time.”

A somewhat harsh tone.

I looked at their disappearing backs and spoke to Mahol.

“Be careful around your surroundings from now on.”

“yes.”

Mahol nodded.

I quietly looked at the spot where they had disappeared until then.

“Tsk.”

It seems like something is going to happen.

And in a very annoying way.

My prediction came true in less than a day.

“We met again?”

“I thought you would hide away for a while.”

“We definitely warned you not to come in here.”

We were surrounded by men who reappeared.

They were smiling brightly, holding weapons stained with blood, as if they had just killed someone.

“Haa….”

It’s a situation where I can’t help but sigh.

I shook my head once and looked at them.

“It really sucks.”

I had a feeling it would be like this.

Now that I was actually experiencing it, I didn’t feel that good.
