Chapter 64 The Battle of Jukchang (12)
Arcadia, the world's first virtual reality game.
Casillas is playing as a fighter in this virtual world that is no different from reality.
He was shining here in Arcadia, displaying the combat sense and experience he had honed in the past at Icarus to the maximum.
clap.
[Quick drawing is activated.]
[Equipment items are changed.]
Casillas maximizes combat power by switching weapons at the right moment regardless of various types of equipment. The fighter's unique skill, ‘quick draw', assisted his fighting style and supported him to achieve maximum efficiency.
“How can you not go faster? It has to come in irregularly. If you try to put a combo like that, does that work? Everything is obvious.”
However, Dex easily overpowers him in a way that is very similar to his own fighting style, and instead gives lessons. Looking at him, Casillas went mad and jumped up and down.
“What the hell is that weapon? To change its shape freely...”
Arcadia's combat system makes it almost impossible to change items worn during battle. Even Casillas was able to fight while switching between various weapons with the skill ‘quick draw', but Jaeyoung went beyond that category.
Whoops.
A weapon that instantly changes its shape freely in Jaeyoung's hand. As if on purpose, it continued to block Casillas' attacks in the form of an attacking weapon.
“Ah, this...? It's a skill called King of All Diseases... It's quite usable, right?”
“...A skill?”
Casillas put on a blank expression at Jaeyoung's words.
A skill that allows you to freely change the shape of a weapon. It seemed as if he was shocked by the fact that he had such a skill that seemed to exist only for him, but soon he looked at Jaeyoung with genuine envy and said.
“You’re lucky... to get such an amazing skill.”
Strictly speaking, the skill of King of All Byeongji was not Jaeyoung's strength. It's just a power borrowed for a short time in exchange for rare probability. However, there was no need to tell him that, so Jaeyoung smiled at his words and replied.
“Isn’t it?”
“...As expected then and now, you bastard Dex embarrasses me every time.”
Casillas' eyes changed. He began to pull out a sword with a completely different momentum than before.
“A sword...?”
Even from the outside, he grabbed a sword that was full of dust and felt like it had been neglected for a very long time. Casillas, without even pulling it out of its scabbard, took up a sword pose and said.
“Then I'll do my best.”
“power....? What is that...”
Quaang.
The sword flew in an instant before Jaeyoung could finish his words.
Jaeyoung, who instinctively blocked the blow and couldn't overcome the shock, flew dozens of meters and landed on a wooden pole.
[Received critical damage.]
[Abnormal condition fractures are applied.]
[Movement is restricted until healing.]
“Hey! master! are you okay?”
“That black...”
As Jaeyoung flew far away, Tan and L flew in flapping their wings. Tan, who saw Jaeyoung being beaten for the first time, was startled and made a fuss while L muttered while looking carefully at the old sword Casillas was holding.
“Wait... it hurts so badly.”
As he tried to get up from his seat with a frown on his face, Jaeyoung quickly rolled his body to the side when he saw Casillas narrowing the distance before he knew it.
Kwajik.
The sharp blade of the sword slammed into the place where he was. However, Casillas continued to press Jaeyoung by swinging his sword at an abnormal speed.
‘what....? It's much faster than before...?'
The battle is taking place at a speed far beyond the normal level.
There is no need to say the tempo, and Jae-young, who is narrowly dodging his attack, rushing at him unconditionally. The reaction of the people watching the battle between the two was literally shock and horror itself.
-No... Are they playing the same game as us?
-Is Arcadia originally a game that can do that?
-I don't think that's a high-level level.....
-It was just a game of skill.
Casillas, who was constantly bombarding her with attacks at that tremendous speed, and Dexna, who was avoiding all of those attacks by a single point. Everyone agreed that both were abnormal, but opinions were still divided as to who would win.
- No matter how you look at this, Casillas will win?
-I do not know yet. Do you see that Dex is taking damage? you avoid everything
- What do you do if you avoid it? You can't even counterattack, but if you run away and make one mistake, that's it.
-But why do I keep feeling like Dex will win?
From the outside, Dex seems to be suffering one-sidedly. However, as time continued to pass, Casillas stopped attacking with a look of boredom as he saw him looking fine.
“Really... you run away like a loach.”
“Hehehehehehehehehehehe... Originally, avoidance is the basis of action RPGs.”
Jaeyoung exhales heavily from exhaustion. However, Casillas also didn't look very good, probably because he overdid it. The battle entered a brief lull. And then, suddenly, a window appeared in front of Jaeyoung's eyes.
[Celestial being Calypso requests a conversation with the player.]
All Weapon Master Calypso, who lent Jaeyoung his strength.
When Jaeyoung was tilting his head when he suddenly received a message asking for a conversation, L flew to Jaeyoung and started talking with a troubled expression.
“Dex-sama, that guy with the old sword over there...”
“Uh. Why is he?”
“It seems like a sign that Calypso left here before he died. It is said that it is an item arranged for the successor who will carry on his legacy someday, but he continues to insist that he wants to talk about it directly, saying that it seems that something has gone wrong.”
“what....?”
El's words were roughly summarized as follows. The sword and his visions that he kept hidden after preparing the necessary things for the heir who would surely inherit his power. However, I don't know why, but seeing Casillas, who has a sword but has not inherited his will, Calypso thinks that his life has been cut off and is making a fuss.
Jaeyoung, who had a rough idea of what he said, asked Casillas.
“Hey, you got that sword... while completing the quest, right?”
“...why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
Casillas looked at him with a look in his eyes asking why he was asking that out of the blue. However, Jaeyoung asked again in a tone that seemed to prompt him to tell the truth.
“Tell me quickly. You got it by completing the quest, right?”
At Jae-young's questioning, who seemed not to care about fighting, Casillas nodded and admitted the fact.
“right. I got it after clearing the quest I got from a strange vagabond.”
[All Weapons Master Calypso is excited.]
[All Weapons Master Calypso urges him to ask what happened to the necklace that was with the sword.]
Jaeyoung asked with a frown at Calypso's behavior of throwing annoying messages.
“Aside from that sword... did you have any other necklaces?”
“...how do you know that?”
Casillas widens his eyes at Jaeyoung's question and makes a surprised expression.
“It doesn't matter... Anyway, what did you do with that necklace? do you have it?”
To that question, Casillas thought for a moment before answering.
“It is true that I acquired the necklace as well as this sword. However, the shop owner in the town I was in handed me a scroll saying that he had no skill to check unidentified items and that he needed to buy an appraisal scroll to check the performance.”
Casillas slowly recalls his memories and brings out what happened at that time. Listening to his words, Jaeyoung swallowed strangely and asked.
“so....? How did you do it?”
To his question, Casillas didn't take it seriously.
“Do I need to spend expensive money to buy emotional scrolls? It's a necklace that doesn't even look good anyway, so I just sold it along with the japtem.”
Calypso's legacy was mixed with japtem obtained from hunting and sold into the hands of the shop owner. He didn't know exactly what the necklace was, but Jaeyoung could be sure that it was something very important.
[All Weapons Master Calypso is shocked.]
[All Weapons Master Calypso is furious with the heir who sold his legacy.] [
All Weapons Master Calypso shouts that he will rip that goddamn heir's head off.]
[All Weapons Master Calypso Weapon Master Calypso...]
Messages pouring in enough to make you feel his anger just by text. And seeing the message that appeared at the end, Jaeyoung let out a small exclamation with a strange expression.
“Wow.....”
[All Weapon Master Calypso requests the player to fully descend temporarily.]
[All Weapon Master Calypso promises to bear all the probabilities imposed after the advent.]
Just the existence of heaven and hell . A strong spirit skill that temporarily borrows the power of others.
However, Calypso went beyond that and declared that he would intervene and directly asked Jae-young to lend his body. Even with a promise that he would bear all the probabilities.
“L, is it okay?”
Jaeyoung asked L about an unexpected situation that he had never experienced while using the Spirit skill. However, L frowned as if he was ambiguous in judging something and was contemplating something.
“Hmm... not in principle, but it is possible if you put the burden on probability. However, the burden would be enormous, so why do I have to go this far...”
At first glance, it seemed like an enormous amount of probability would be needed. But Calypso sent another message as if it was okay.
[All Weapon Master Calypso growls, saying it doesn't matter as long as he can punish that bastard.]
“Well... it's good if you're determined that much. In the name of Archangel Michael, the holy heavenly guardian, I authorize temporary intervention by All Weapon Master Calypso.”
Whoops.
[All Weapon Master Calypso completely dwells in the player's body.]
[Switch control of the body. Direct play is temporarily restricted.]
[The player's viewpoint switches to spectator mode.]
With those words, Jaeyoung lost control of his body. And at that moment, he could clearly feel the presence of Calypso in his body.
“Hehehehehe... you sold that necklace?”
Iron gruck.
Dex suddenly changed his momentum completely. As he got up and took a step forward, Casillas looked at Jaeyoung with a nervous expression as if he had sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere.
“What are you? What are you doing all of a sudden...?”
It had only taken one step, but a great threat stirred Casillas' instincts.
“The so-called successor... didn't understand the deep meaning and love of the teacher he had prepared with great effort, and treated it like a by-product of minor things and handed it over to greedy merchants...
” What the hell kind of bullshit is that...?”
Weiying.
Casillas was astonished at the phenomena appearing around Jaeyoung, unable to speak.
Weapons that seem to reach dozens or even hundreds. Numerous weapons that seemed to be made of magical powers floated in the air, threatening Casillas with their anticipation.
“What kind of skill is that? Such nonsense...!”
“Cluck cluck... Didn't you ask that question earlier?”
“what....? no way....!”
Casillas is agitated at the situation where the difference in power is overwhelming even at first glance. He heard Jaeyoung's words with a strange laugh and shouted with his eyes widened as if they were about to jump out.
“You foolish successor, don’t you think King of All Byeongji is just a level of power that allows you to freely change weapons?”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
With Jaeyoung's gesture, hundreds of weapons quickly flew towards Casillas. Looking at it, Jaeyoung... No, said Calypso.
“This is... the true power of the King of All Byeongji (萬兵知王).”
