Chapter 196

I was a little relieved by Seregia’s words .

Myong Myong’s bright smiling face passed through my head .

“You are on the verge of life and death . ”

“You don’t have to tell me it twice……”

Even so, I was still alive .

I just wanted to be optimistic about it .

There was something more urgent than that .

I was unconscious when I passed through the 17th floor to the 26th floor, which would be very troubling in the future .

I had to cultivate myself while I was going through the 17th to 26th floors to handle future challenges .

But now that I had lost the chance because of the poisoning, my capabilities has fallen short of the level required to handle challenges .

The biggest problems were the enemies beyond the 30th floor .

I didn’t have enough physical strength, mana and other attack skills, so I needed the light sword technique to kill them .

Of course I could use light sword now .

But my body would explode instead .

I had to build up a body that could withstand the light sword’s heat .

The schedule of my plan had already been so tight, but now my time had all flown away so the plan collapsed .

I need to find alternatives .

The first one was to find a new way that could defeat the enemies on the 30th floor .

If I could find a safer technique, which was not dangerous like light sword, I could pass the 30th floor .

However, I had no idea where to start .

If I had met Great Mother on the 19th floor or JuJi on the 13th floor, I might have found some new clues through a face-to-face meeting with them, but that was not arranged successfully in the end .

The second one, to abandon the conquest method I was using now .

As KiriKiri said, I would actively avoid fighting and flee for survival .

Flattering, hiding and escaping, I would be able to survive this way .

However, I was already determined not to use this method .

I didn’t want to change what I had decided .

The last thing that I had to consider was how to improve my light sword .

I couldn’t use the light sword because it was too dangerous, so all I could do was to eliminate or alleviate its drawback .

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to make the light sword safer while maintaining its power, but I had a feeling that it was possible .

The third form of the light sword was quite unusual .

It did not consist of a single action, like stabbing or cutting .

The basis of the light sword is the displaying offensive and defensive capabilities . This swordsmanship would manifest as the light sword .

A light sword that would explode constantly, killing all enemies around me .

But what if there were someone who could bear the light and heat？

The founder of the light sword also thought about this question and his answer was to lengthen the fight while using the light sword .

No matter how much heat and light the enemy could bear, he would eventually falter .

So he held onto the light sword and burned everything .

He suggested to lengthen the fight until the enemy couldn’t withstand it anymore .

That is the third form of the light sword .

In fact, this was impossible .

From my perspective, who is an actual user of the light sword, it is absurd to take continuous action while keeping that state .

But it was the information from the knight and he said that it was the only piece of information available .

It was possible that the information from the knight was distorted, but I succeeded in restoring all of the swordsmanship that he told me .

I was sure that most of the information was accurate .

Let’s assume knight’s information as right .

This was definitely the key point of the third form .

Users of the light sword could avoid its heat .

To fend off attacks from enemies in the inferno where the light sword was created, you should not be affected by the inferno itself .

Suppose the user isn’t be hurt during the continuous use of the light sword .

If I could skillfully use the light sword, I could avoid self-damage .

With that alone, the enemies beyond the 30th floor will no longer be a threat .

In addition, the output of the light sword would be enhanced, too .

I had enough mana, skill, and understanding of the light sword to use it effectively .

The only thing was that my body couldn’t bear it, so I must adjust the output

While I was deep in thought, Seregia was looking at me silently .

“Would you like to go outside? The banquet is in progress . If you’d like to go out, I’ll take you there . However I think you should consider your body’s condition…… . ”

Said Seregia . It seemed that she wouldn’t go out no matter what happened .

I also didn’t want to waste time on banquet .

I told Seregia my worry .

Seregia had a fairly good insight into the theoretical part of swordsmanship and she had some novel ideas that I didn’t have from time to time .

“Yes, it’s hard to believe that it is possible . It’s like a magic rather than swordsmanship . ”

She was right .

Just as peak of different martial arts would be similar to each other, swordsmanship would be like magic if it exceeded a certain level .

“According to your explanation, it seems that you have a dangerous and primitive sword without hilt . And now you’re looking for a way to make a hilt . ”

She understood quickly as I expected .

A primitive sword with no hilt .

Therefore I needed a safe hilt .

The space protected by hilt of the light sword was a safe zone built around the user .

The problem was a safe zone (hilt) that could bear the dangerous power of the light sword couldn’t be made by humans .

It was apparent that no matter how much mana I put the safe zone would break right away .

“Then maybe you need a safe zone like a typhoon’s eye, which is unaffected by the storm of power . ”

Typhoon’s eye .

It was not a brand-new idea, but the image came out in my mind looked plausible .

If I spun the power of the light sword, would the center of that power be a safe zone?

Different from the typhoon, the light sword could target enemies .

I asked Seregia for a piece of paper and a pen .

I thought it would be better if I could draw my thoughts on the paper rather than just think about it .

I carefully marked the direction of the power of the light sword on the paper .

It looked as if I had drawn a magnetic field .

“I think it works . ”

In order to make the light sword shoot straight and to burst the aura, it needed pressure from both sides .

Both sides would rotated in opposing directions .

The idea would be much more tangible if you thought about the two circles running on the baseball pitching machine .

How about increasing the output by adding another circle to the back of the two circles and at the same time creating a safe zone in the center of them .

But the problem was that the direction of the two circles was the opposite to each other .

I continued to think about it while I was drawing on the paper .

Seregia, who was next to me, took an interest in what I was drawing . She grabbed another piece of paper and started adding her own ideas following what I had drawn .

When the bright day passed and the dark night came, the floor of the room was full of papers that had been used up .

What’s more .

“I feel this will work . ”

“I agree with you . Let’s give it a try . ”

Seragia was urging me beside .

“Please hurry up . ”

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I’m looking forward to seeing it . ”

Seregia’s mood is understandable .

Because I was in the same mood as her .

I couldn’t believe that I had worked on it for a whole day, but my head was full of inspiration .

I checked the design paper again instead of leaving my seat immediately .

It seemed possible .

“It is theoretically possible . ”

The problem was that whether I could manifest this technique as well as the theory .

To be honest, this was clearly beyond my capabilities .

“It’s possible . Please have a try . ”

“If I fail, will I explode?”

“You will be fine . ”

I will certainly not .

Looking at Seregia’s face, expressionless but flushed red, I could know how excited she was .

I remembered that she almost died because she wanted to observe the light sword closely back on the 26th floor .

I checked the design on the paper again .

It was complicated to utilize the original light sword, yet the complexity shored further with the new light sword design .

Curves and circles filled the papers representing the mana that I had to control .

They couldn’t conflict with each other and had to achieve a synergy to complete the entire flow .

These papers were only designed for a single action, stabbing .

How many papers would be required if I wanted to show the design of the other various techniques of swordsmanship .

Furthermore, if I ceaselessly drew a design for all of the techniques, my brain would overload .

The founder of the light sword is extraordinary .

“Well, let’s try it . ”

“Where do you want to go? We can teleport to somewhere that is near to the plain or the cliff . ”

She was really so excited .

Original translation from wangmamaread .

But we had something to do before it .

“Let’s eat some food first . ”

I had been in a coma for several days, and studied the light sword for a whole day after I wake up .

Of course I was hungry .

“Just starve for a day . ”

Said Seregia in a harsh voice while looking at me with her cold face .

I didn’t know where the person who told me to rest in the morning had gone .

“No, I don’t have enough energy, so I have to eat something first . ”

I asked Seregia, who was leaving her seat, for one more thing .

“If there is something like potion, take some for me too . ”

* * *

After the meal, I left the room with Seregia .

We met some people on the road, but Seregia handled it properly .

“Well, where are we going?”

Seregia asked because I was taking the lead .

“We are going to take the holy sword with us . ”

Seregia was surprised by my words .

“I will probably die if I use this technique with my current condition . ”

“I see . ”

Seregia didn’t ask anything else .

Even when the guard in front of the sealed room was stunned because of the holy sword, she didn’t ask any questions .

“Why are looking at me like that?”

Asked Seregia, who was rummaging into soldiers’ bodies because she thought they might have some emergency artifacts .

It seemed that the empire did raise a lot of wastrels .

Different from when I came here alone, Seregia walked and found all the artifacts that were hidden in the walls and ceilings .

She is so skilled at this .

I was not sure whether we could do this, so I asked her .

“I think we should teleport and go as far as possible . Going to a foreign country is a good choice . You could seek asylum from the foreign nobleman who recognizes the strength of the technique you are going to try . ”

She was planning the future in the meantime .

We walked for a while and saw the holy sword on the end of the road .

[Warrior . ]

I heard a calm voice from the holy sword .

[Did you hear me, Warrior?]

I recalled the past .

I didn’t answer the holy sword at that time, so he was anxious .

[Don’t you hear me? Warrior? Warrior! Warrior! Ahhhh! Why people who come here during the past hundreds of years are all deaf? Ssshit . ]

“I can hear you . ”

I couldn’t just ignore it so I replied .

[Warrior! I have committed a capital offense! Please kill me, the criminal!]

What was he talking about?

I felt the absurdity of the holy sword in my hand, who asked me to punish him .

How could I kill one who died once and became a sword spirit .

“Please set off . We don’t have much time . ”

Seregia stated .

I walked out, following her lead .

“I’ll tell you what you need to do next as we walk so listen carefully . ”

The holy sword was necessary If I wanted to finish this experiment smoothly .

As well as the protection magic that the holy sword had, his ability to help prevent the flow of mana from tangling was also needed .

Hearing my explanation, the holy sword stopped talking and began to listen quietly .

Sometimes he expressed his opinion and the design became better while we were on the teleport .

He helped a lot .

Segeria operated the teleportation device and took us to a nameless plain .

We left the gate and could see nothing even over the horizon on this perfect empty plain .

“This place is pretty good . It is not the other country, but near the border line . Although there are castle chapels nearby, we should be able to cross the border before they come . ”

[Round 24, Day 16 . 2:45PM]

It was the night here, but it was 2:45PM in system .

The timing was perfect .

It was 15 minutes before moving from the 26th floor to the next floor .

Looking at the stars embedded in the night sky, I prepared the technique .

* * *

The light stretched out toward the dark blue night sky that slowly became red and the powerful gust generated by the light blew all the clouds around .

The light that penetrated the center of the red sky, where there were no clouds, seemed to be throwing open a door of the sky .

[The God of Heaven is displeased . ]

[The God of Heaven refuses to expose his temple . ]

[The vote begins . ]

[Approval: 1 vote . Disapproval: 98 votes . ]

[The God of the light is very excited!]

[The God of Heaven is very displeased . ]

[The God of Light is very excited!]

[The God of Light is very excited!]

[You’ve reached Level 4 on aura mastery . ]

I have surpassed the me before entering the 35th floor .
