Before arriving at the border, Hyun-soo, who had been whispering with Nel, thought to himself.
‘Descendant of Spear Heaven.’
Hyun-soo was someone he had only heard of through rumors.
What’s certain is that he is someone chosen and raised by the ten great legends of the continent.
Of course, Hyun-soo himself had learned swordsmanship from the Sword King, but it was only a fraction of what there was to learn.
There was no chance of winning, but he had to capture him at the border to break the enemy’s morale.
Hyun-soo’s mind became coldly clear.
The Descendant of Spear Heaven is a strong warrior who has lived his life holding a spear.
‘But I too have a power comparable to his, don’t I?’
That was the artifact created by Hyun-soo.
[Hyun-soo: Guild members, what are you doing right now?]
[Nel: Lisel is going hunting, Bark is on a quest in the village, and Belia is praying.]
[Hyun-soo: Can I ask Lisel and Bark to lend me the Dragon Sword and Aegis through the gift feature?]
[Nel: That will definitely help narrow the gap with the Descendant of Spear Heaven!]
It’s not a method that can be used often.
Originally, the owners were Lisel and Bark, and they could not lend them during battles with monsters.
But this was possible because it was Hyun-soo.
The artifacts were for borrowing, but they were the ones he had made.
Boom-
[You have been hit by a Snake Explosion.]
[HP drops below 52%.]
The explosion caused a significant drop in HP by 8%.
In this situation, where the Descendant of Spear Heaven was stunned, Hyun-soo was on the verge of being logged out.
Then,
Two hawks flew in at the same time.
[A gift from Lisel has arrived.]
[A gift from Bark has arrived.]
[You have equipped the Dragon Sword.]
[You have equipped the Aegis.]
Hyun-soo felt a powerful energy surging.
‘The Kingdom of Praham made artifacts only for Frak.’
And it was said that it was his own power. Hyun-soo, emerging through the dust, could be seen.
[The Fearless Snake receives a penalty.]
[It is downgraded to normal rank.]
The Fearless Snake was a double-edged sword.
If not significantly stronger, it becomes stronger, just like the shallow personality of the snake.
“Come out, come out!”
Frak’s face turned pale as he saw the spear losing its power.
“No snake can unfold its cunning in front of a dragon.”
He seemed not to understand. It was the first time he had experienced something like this.
Moreover, the NPC’s level information is displayed as a comprehensive total.
[Descendant of Spear Heaven Frak Lv.301]
His level had dropped by 39.
On the contrary, Hyun-soo became stronger than before with the Dragon Sword and Aegis equipped.
‘Where did he get such artifacts from?’
Frak couldn’t understand.
The land of blacksmiths.
The Spear Heaven had commanded for this day.
‘Make artifacts for my descendant.’
About 50 of the kingdom’s best blacksmiths joined together and took half a year to tailor this spear and armor.
But where did that person get such artifacts?
Frak soon found the character for ‘Hyun’ (現) engraved on the shield known as the Dragon Sword and Aegis.
‘Ho, he made it alone?’
Suddenly, Frak looked behind him.
It seemed like the ghosts of about 50 blacksmiths were shining behind him.
Clearly, they had more numbers…
When Frak looked back at Hyun-soo, he felt that the cleverness displayed by him alone was more impressive than that of the 50 combined.
‘Mountain.’
Yes, it reminds one of a great mountain.
But Frak became calm.
‘Just need to overpower him with skill. No matter how good the artifacts are, they are just that. I don’t need such a spear.’
After all, even without this spear, he had knocked down four knights on his own.
Frak shot out like light.
Craaaash-
He quickly exchanged blows and aimed for the neck.
‘Indeed, this person’s skill is not so great……’
“With the dragon.”
[The power of the dragon graces you.]
[Attack speed and movement speed increase by 25%.]
[Sword attack power increases by 25%.]
[Sword Mastery increases by 3.]
A small dragon ascending from the grip is sucked into his body.
Taaeaaang-!
The coat hem flutters.
Hyun-soo and Frak’s eyes meet as they raise their spears in a single breath.
Keeheehee-
Endless cries of a dragon come from the sword he holds.
He swings the spear madly.
But it was different than before.
With just a single sword in hand, his movements were completely changed.
Taaeaaang-
His sword strike blocked all trajectories of the spear.
Left.
After stabbing his left shield once, he used the shockwave to spin and slash at Hyun-soo.
Craaaash-
But…
Zzzzzzzz-
The moment the shield and the spear tip collided. No, the moment he faced that shield, his fingertips began to freeze.
The solid shield controlled his movement, and at that moment, Hyun-soo, with an indifferent expression, swung his sword down.
[Dragon’s Claw]
[An additional attack power of 600% of the Dragon’s Claw descends along with the sword swing.]
First, two claws of the dragon struck.
Kwajaaaak-
It struck Frak’s chest.
[The Descendant of Spear Heaven’s HP falls below 68%.]
Then, it was struck a second time with great force.
Kwajaaaak-
[A critical hit is inflicted.]
[The Descendant of Spear Heaven’s HP falls below 50%.]
Staggering, Frak realized that the extent of the wounds he and Hyun-soo had sustained were now equal.
At this moment, the Descendant of Spear Heaven understood.
‘His level may be low.’
But his physical strength defies common sense.
And though his skills may be lacking,
‘His artifacts surpass everything.’
Then, Hyun-soo heard a curious notification.
[You have overwhelmingly reversed the situation.]
‘Why am I hearing this notification?’
Every notification has a reason.
There is no such thing as a notification that is just heard.
Hyun-soo looked at the Descendant of Spear Heaven.
Him, with a panicked expression.
Soon, he made a strange action.
Frak turned around and bowed slightly towards where the Spear Heaven’s disciples were.
The expression of the Descendant of Spear Heaven, having turned his head, already seemed to concede defeat.
If they continue to exchange blows, the Descendant of Spear Heaven is confident he can reduce Hyun-soo’s HP to 10%.
But still, it would ultimately be his own defeat.
Hyun-soo frowned.
‘Could it be……’
Named monsters and named NPCs have one representative power.
Frak murmured.
“(Conquering Spear).”
[It is incomplete.]
[Life is burnt to amplify everything.]
[All stats increase.]
[All skills increase.]
[Can be maintained for 40 seconds, and death follows after 40 seconds.]
Wriggle, wriggle-
Frak’s muscles undergo endless contractions and relaxations.
Sssss-
Steam rises from his body, which turns red hot.
Frak looks at Hyun-soo with bloodshot eyes.
[A new story begins.]
[Descendant of Spear Heaven Frak Lv.359]
Hyun-soo had already heard the notification of a new story before.
Ding!
[Sudden Quest: Disciple of Ben]
Grade: SS
Limit: The one who triggered the new episode
Reward: Kingdom contribution, more of the Spear Heaven’s favor, experience as if hunting mobs.
Penalty if failed: Decrease in affinity with Barad, the Spear Heaven.
Description: Frak is someone cherished by the Spear Heaven. Frak, who has activated the incomplete Conquering Spear, will die after 40 seconds. His desire to win is that great. Defeat him before the 40 seconds are up and he dies.
The grade of the sudden quest had been S. It has been upgraded to SS.
Originally, players do not receive SS-grade quests often.
It signifies a difficult and challenging task.
‘It seems so.’
Cold sweat ran down Hyun-soo’s back.
Hyun-soo is a user in the 250s by level.
Now, Frak’s level has risen to 359.
In this duel, originally, one does not die.
Due to the special powers of the magicians, it automatically ends when 1% of HP remains.
However, by using that power, Frak actually dies after 40 seconds have passed.
At that moment, Frak moved, pushing off with the tip of his foot.
Crash-
Hyun-soo’s pupils wavered as he blocked the spear coming straight at him with his shield.
“It’s clearly different from just before.”
Rumble-
Just blocking the spear with the shield caused the ground under his feet to cave in, and Hyun-soo was pushed back.
Creaking-
Even though Aegis froze his hand, he pressed on as if he no longer cared.
“Kuh!”
[HP falls below 35%.]
[HP falls below 30%.]
Speed, power, offensive ability, skill.
Frak was superior in all aspects.
Hyun-soo responded by using what he could to overpower him.
“Wave of Frost.”
A wave of frost that started from the shield surged, engulfing Frak’s spear and freezing his entire body.
Creaking-
[The descendant of Spear Heaven’s HP falls below 35%.]
The Wave of Frost originally has the power to completely freeze the enemy.
Frak, with his neck frozen, twisted his lips.
“No more tricks will work!”
Clang-
[In the state of Extreme Spear, all status abnormalities are resisted.]
Ice shards broke as the spear of Spear Heaven stabbed Hyun-soo’s chest three times.
Thud, thud, thud-!
[HP falls below 15%.]
[Status abnormality bleeding is applied.]
[It’s hard to maintain your posture.]
And then Hyun-soo checked the past time.
[15 seconds.]
[12 seconds.]
[10 seconds.]
Frak soared high into the sky.
“It’s the end.”
***
Hyun-soo’s vision blurred.
[9 seconds.]
Hyun-soo also estimated.
They could only exchange one strike each.
And if they exchange that one strike each, Hyun-soo would lose.
Hyun-soo’s HP was significantly lower, and he could not reduce Frak’s HP by 35% in one hit.
But Hyun-soo didn’t know how to back down.
‘I want to win.’
Wanting to save Frak?
That’s not it.
Hyun-soo is a selfish person.
What does it matter whether he lives or dies?
Winning and the cheers from Goyard’s faction, and the fact that he is a person cherished by Spear Heaven Ben written in the reward.
And his maximized feeling towards that.
‘What can I do now?’
A sword imbued with a dragon.
But even if he hits Frak directly with this power now, Hyun-soo would lose.
“He lost…”
“Lord Frak has won by burning his life.”
Other voices were heard.
[7 seconds.]
Frak falls straight down with his spear.
“Break, you damned blacksmith!”
Break.
Hyun-soo mulled over that word.
Then, he looked at the Dragonlight Sword he was holding.
His chest boiled with heat. This sword gives him an inspiration.
Thump-
Wolf Leap.
He flies to meet it, eyeing Frak as he falls.
“This sword’s master was Haemosu, the progenitor of the northern tribe. He faced many moments when he was on the verge of defeat. But he never gave up and would always recite this phrase.”
Frak couldn’t understand.
His defeat now seemed certain. At that moment, Hyun-soo’s reaching hand stopped him.
Command of Monarch.
Frak scoffed at it.
Merely 3 seconds.
The time he could be held.
But then.
Click-
The falling Frak heard a strange sound.
It was coming from his armor.
At that moment, he thought of a T-shirt.
A T-shirt is connected by thread.
All armor is the same.
It’s merely a thread that easily breaks, but it’s the dense stitching that completes it.
At that moment.
Hyun-soo’s fingers flicked to the side.
And then, materials like those threads were drawn out.
Whoosh-
The materials dispersed in mid-air. Along with them, Frak could see the center of his plate armor collapsing.
“……!”
[Defense greatly weakened.]
[Vital spot exposed.]
His face turned pale.
‘He shouldn’t have been able to win.’
Yet, he found a way to win even in the last moment.
Screech-
He swung his sword before Frak did.
A giant dragon roared as it struck Frak.
Rumble-
Frak felt he had taken lethal damage.
[4 seconds.]
[Conquering Spear is discontinued.]
Frak suddenly remembered what he had said.
‘But he never gave up and would always recite this phrase.’
Curious about that phrase, Frak saw him falling first.
Smiling, he said, “Even if it breaks.”
Yes, even if it breaks, the intention is to somehow win.
Hyun-soo’s chest throbbed as he fell.
“……though an enemy, I acknowledge.”
“Truly an incredible knight!!”
This voice came from the army of the Praham Kingdom.
And falling, he saw Spear Heaven Ben standing up to look at him.
‘Ben is the door to a new world.’
Boom-
Hyun-soo was hit with notifications as he crashed into the ground.
[……]
[……]
[……]
[……]
Among those endless notifications.
The very last notification thrilled Hyun-soo.
[You have won the heart of Spear Heaven Ben.]
