I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 739
Advertisement
This your final chance to answer truthfully.
Who sent you?"
.
Swords were all pointed towards the soldiers, while Kamara, John and Nopline looked at them coldly.
But how could their measly auras affect these soldiers?
Please, they had survived under his majesty, so what more of these weak chickens?
They even had the urge to roll their eyes and yawn.
They looked at them as if they were looking at fools.
Scott sighed and shook his head.
"Do you really think that we didn't know that this was a trap?
The fact that only the women and weak men were killed by those so-called red assassins if yours proves that your story is nonsensical.
Any enemy would first aim for the strong within any group.
So why did they leave you all alive?
More suspiciously, why would they leave only you (Kamara) alive and kill the rest?
Of course, your bodies and many other clues led us to believe that you all were knights or people of importance and not servants too.
That said, did you still think that we wouldn't prepare after realizing this?
I'm guessing you 3 are the ones we came here to see.
And since you've been unconsciously guarding that boy ever since we got here, I'm sure that he's also someone important to you too, right?
Well, all questions can be answered after we captured you, no?
So if you don't mind, my team and I would really like to wrap this up fast.
Sorry."
"You!... You!... You!"
All 4 shivered and felt cold sweat behind their backs when they saw Scott and his men move like lightning.
The most terrifying thing was how calm and confident the intruders were.
Their heartbeats quickened and their faces turned pale and gloomy.
What type of terrifying people did he meet today?
.
'Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!'
'Swish!'
'Pah!'

'Bam!'
'Bang!'
Both sides went all in.
The sounds of swords whistling in the air, as well as the sounds of gunshots and fighting, could be heard too.
Since this was still a passageway and not a room, the soldiers had to be careful that they didn't shoot their comrades.
That's why they only shot their enemies when they were right next to them.
No long-range shifts were allowed for these sorts of battles.
Of course, they also kicked, punched, and even used their hidden weapons to take down these villains.
Scott moved fast.
3 enemies moved towards him and sent their swords towards his neck, chest and left belly.
Before they could near him, Scott fell with his back on the floor and shot them hastily.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
What?
The men felt cold and their eyes were now filled with shock, fear and horror.
Were they going to die?
Everything happened too fast!
They dropped to the floor like flies, and Scott just rolled quickly before they landed.
'Bam!'
More came again.
"Die!!"
'Pah!'
'Bang!
"How dare you?
You, you, you stop!"
'Bang!'
'Pah!'
'Slap!'
'Bang!'
'_'
.
More and more men fell like flies, which scared Nopline and the rest who had been guarded directly.
From the very start, the Baymardians had begun with those closest to the passageway's exit.
So if they wanted to leave, they had to go through these monsters.
Seeing the results of the fight, some people slowly backed away in fear instead.
How should they fight against such weapons?
The moment they ran up to these intruders, their weapons would launch some invisible weapon that will kill them.
So how could they not be afraid?
Nopline and the rest looked at the scene in horror and shock.
Where these weapons from another continent?
Because from what they knew of, the Pyno continent didn't have anyone with such weapons.

So who was really after their lives?
The feeling of helplessness and unwillingness engulfed them when they felt their chances of escaping tune bleak.
Half of their men had already fallen, while these intruders on the other hand didn't lose a single person.
Why?
They gritted their teeth in pain and confusion.
Too bad, the soldiers had no time to care about their emotions.
Scott and 20 more soldiers decided to advance, while the test stayed around the exit to prevent others from escaping.
.
Scott quickly made his way fight his way through the many knights protecting Nopline and the rest, until he was met face to face with John.
Since he was one of the 4, he had to capture him alive because it was not his place to seek revenge or pass judgement on the fellow.
Only Micheal could do that now.
Plus, even though his face was all covered in dirt... Scott could still see that he was similar to one of the target pictures in their mission file.
That's right!
His majesty had already given them profile pictures of Nopline and the rest so that they should never let them go, just in case Micheal wasn't in one of their teams during the battle.
"John, be careful!" Kamara yelled anxiously while watching her beloved battle Scott!.
Her heart bled in fear over his life.
'Pah! Pah! Pah!'
John dropped his word and decided to fight Scott hand to hand.
He had been watching him all this time, so he felt somewhat continent.
And being the smart person he was, he had just realized that his best chance of beating this man down with his fists.
He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to knock out this fellow's teeth.
After all, even though he was somewhat leaner and thinner than his deceased brother (Micheal), he had been training for the past 33 years from the age of 7.
So how could this 28~31-year-old looking man be better than him?
.
"Boy!
Do you know who I am?
Do you know my nickname?
Heh... I since you want to play so badly, then I don't mind giving you a lesson.
Come, boy!
I'll show you what real fighting is all about.
Taste my fist!!" John said coldly before sending a fierce punch towards Scott's right cheek.
At the same time, he quickly followed that up with a kick.
But Scott dodged both attacks calmly and swiftly punched John's belly.
John blocked it, but didn't have time to block what was coming next.
'Pah! Pah! Pah!'
Scott held his fist and delivered a triple kick on his face.
"You!...
You actually dared to hit me on the face?
You dared to slap my face?
I want you to die!!"
John came fiercer than ever and the fight went on again.
They battled for a bit with John only landing a single hit on Scott.
"You son of a b**ch!"
'Pah!'
Scott kicked his right knee making Scott kneel in pain.
"Hey, old man.
If you're going to give me a lecture while fighting, then I rather you not.
After all, it's best for you to save your energy and hit me at least one more time before I reconstruct your face.
Right, old man?
"You! You! You!
I'll kill you!"
John yelled and ran towards Scott angrily.
"You good-for-nothing..."
'Pah!'
"You'll burn in hell for..."
'Pah!"
'You!..."
'Pah!'
"Stop! Stop!"
'Pah!'
"Stop..."
'Pah!'
"Brother?"
'Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!'
'_'
[John: I give up alright? Can you stop?
Scott: No!
Pah! Pah! Pah!

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
