The Status Window Disappeared

Grave of Swords (5)

The armor that appeared in front of Chris seemed to be empty on the inside, and the parts collided each time he walked, making a loud noise.

However, from the inside of the helmet, blue eyes were watching Chris.

Realizing the identity of the opponent, he raised his vigilance even further.

This was the first time I had met in person, but I had heard the stories of experienced people.

living armor.

This monster, said to have been created by ancient wizards, is a very tricky one.

It is very rare to have a special ability, but instead, it is very strong, fast and strong.

It’s pretty smart for an artificial creature, and it gets stronger the more it goes through battle.

It doesn’t have any annoying features, but it’s honestly strong, so it’s an opponent who has a hard time with adventurers who lack basic skills.

Furthermore, a red-hot longsword was clutched in the armor’s hand. Judging from the antique patterns engraved on the blade, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary sword.

When he noticed with his shield raised, the opponent struck first.

“Grrr… … .”

A heavy slash landed on Chris’ shield with a scream that sounded like scratching a blackboard.

Even though I used a lot of mana to block it, my arms trembled and the bones in my body trembled at the blow.

After confirming that the opponent’s abilities were not normal, Chris summoned several alter egos with the mirror ring.

‘Looking at what he’s doing, he’s a guy who has grown up after defeating countless adventurers. If I fight honestly, I will definitely lose!’

I don’t know if it’s normal, but he wasn’t an opponent to fight right after falling from the third floor and almost getting his whole body smashed.

Small and large wounds can be seen here and there on the armor, but this guy’s fighting skills have grown as much as he received the wounds.

Chris’s attempt at diversion with the mirror ring failed miserably.

I don’t know why, but the armor holding the long sword didn’t even look at the clones summoned by the power of the ring. As he approaches again and swings his sword, Chris grits his teeth and raises his shield.

However, the longsword that fell straight to the shield suddenly changed its trajectory and aimed at his side.

An attack unimaginable in normal swordsmanship. However, it is very fast and powerful.

Chris hurriedly blocked it and used a dash to increase the distance.

“Bar, half moon! The rush of the sword demon!”

Something is strange.

How could such power come out when the sword strike that fell over the head flies to the side?

That’s an attack that the human body structure couldn’t even attempt. The living armor was also made in the shape of a human, so the situation shouldn’t be much different.

Even though there are no muscles and bones, there is no way that the joint parts of the armor would allow such movements.

‘Unless that bastard’s sword moves alone… Oh, is that it?’

The opponent’s weapon that looked like a demonic sword at first glance.

The attack just before must have been the result of the magic sword’s ability working.

Chris calmly backed away and caught his breath when he saw the corpses at his feet.

The flesh rotted away long ago, leaving only white bones, but the armor they were wearing managed to remain intact.

No, it’s not the way it looks.

Most of the victims’ clothing had major damage to the chest. If he had suffered such a wound, he would have died spewing blood like a fountain.

‘Hmm? This child, maybe… … .’

After finding clues in their bodies, Chris approached the armor to test his hypothesis.

Then, similar to the previous one, an anomalous attack rushes in, disturbing his eyes.

However, Chris leisurely cut it off and landed a counterattack on the armor.

A confident smile lingered on his lips as he returned to his defensive stance after delivering a devastating blow.

It was like that too.

That demonic sword moves by itself and hurts the opponent, but the craving for blood was too severe. That’s why he was aiming tenaciously for the hearts of the previous victims.

‘It must have been thanks to the smell of blood that I was able to see through my alter ego.’

No matter how much artificial intelligence moves, it is hard to imagine leaving the alter egos that get in the way.

When fighting against a large number of people, it is customary to target the weak first.

Having figured out the opponent’s trick, Chris pushed the living armor bit by bit.

The deviant that the magic sword shows is splendid and difficult, but the target of the attack is always fixed on the heart.

Therefore, the attack method is diverse, but the result is very monotonous.

All that’s left now is to knock on a scarecrow that’s a bit quicker and stronger.

It was an opponent who would have had a lot of trouble if he had fought honestly, but his demonic sword actually helped Chris.

The armor, which was put on the defensive in an instant, widens the distance to take out a new weapon with an empty hand.

Then Chris, who was expecting that, stabbed him in the gap.

I thought that there was no way that an opponent with excellent learning ability would be helpless like this.

However, the forecast was a bit short.

The living armor let go of the hand that pulled out the reserve weapon, and then changed its posture and fed the regime.

No matter how smart you are, you can’t even make use of martial arts on the subject of artificial creatures.

Embarrassed by his behavior, Chris shouts while barely holding on to it.

“Class change, martial artist! Maeng Tiger Bankrupt!”

The living armor blew Chris’s sword away, but Chris had some fighting skills as well.

Chris, who had impulsively cast his martial artist’s ultimate, fired a series of blows like a storm.

The wounds that were regenerating due to the life force burst out again and again, but he gnashed his teeth and finished the technique.

The armor, which received the martial artist’s ultimate skill up close, was slammed into the wall like a doll with a thread cut off.

Chris barely caught his breath and fired the phoenix’s magic bow to finish off the fallen guy.

Only then did the armor stop moving when the light from the torch in the room was enough to make it look shabby.

Chris led his exhausted body and snatched the magic sword he was holding.

The demonic sword that met a new owner shuddered ominously.

“How do I use this… … .”

While muttering that, Chris put the red magic sword into his backpack.

The ability of this magic sword is obviously powerful, but I was not sure that I could completely control it.

If you fight with this for no reason and your attacks become monotonous, it’s a joke.

The moment he took control of his deep breathing, which had been roughed up by the fight.

Suddenly, the forgotten status window popped up a new message. At the same time, the sacred symbol of the chest body engraved on the back of the hand heats up.

[Epic experience has increased due to bloody battles with high-level enemies.]

“what?”

Chris hurriedly opened the status window at the sudden news.

The maximum level of Arios Online has been level 50 since its release.

Like most players, Chris, who was an outcast in the corner of the room, hit the max level once upon a time. There is no way that oldbies like him couldn’t have taken the highest level that even newbies could take in one day after getting a bus.

Thanks to that, even after recovering the status window, Chris had a long way to go with his experience. How can I acquire additional experience points when I have already reached the maximum level?

But the message from earlier broke his common sense.

In Chris’ experience, the status window message didn’t lie.

indeed. At the bottom of the familiar experience bar was a new tick mark.

The sticks that were not filled even 10% of the total were shining in a brilliant golden color.

‘Is this an epic experience?’

I don’t know the exact identity yet, but the score is quite salty.

Krisya, even after falling from the height of the 3rd floor, I somehow managed to knock it down… … .

If a normal player had fought against an armor holding a demonic sword, he would have died three times.

I defeated an enemy of that level alone, but the filled scale was about 7% at most.

In addition, since the word epic is attached to the subject of experience, it does not seem like a role that simply raises the level to 51.

Chris looked at the gift of the body engraved on the back of his hand.

‘Maybe it’s because of this?’

The head of the black flag and the royal monster called Seid were several times stronger than the armor he had just defeated.

Why did the Epic EXP, which didn’t go up even when I fought that guy, only went up now?

The answer is simple.

It was because at that time I had not received the gift of the Goddess of Mischief.

When I remembered Argal’s horrifying voice, I felt somewhat uneasy, but it was also true that I was secretly looking forward to it.

As he fantasized about the epic experience, the torches that lit up the room went out and darkness came.

“this… … .”

As the body heated up by the battle gradually cools down, the head also becomes cold.

Recovering his composure, he quickly sat down and regained his mana.

Epic experience is nabal, and he is now in the middle of the sword grave.

If you can’t escape from this place, it’s useless to open the gift box left by the spirit.

However, it is also true that there is no sharp way to recover one’s cool.

The Tomb of Swords is the largest ruin, boasting the size of a large city. Even if it is wide, it is not usually wide, so there is a high probability that you will get lost if you search recklessly.

Now that he doesn’t know where he is because he fell into a trap, all he can hope for is help from Illesis and Tyrone…

No matter how much the two of them flew and crawled, there was no way they could find where Chris was.

The ring with the tracking spell that Illesis used had already been destroyed and long gone… … .

The ceiling to which he fell is so high and completely blocked by dirt and rocks that it seems impossible to break through.

‘At this rate, am I not going to die of starvation like the seniors I saw before?’

As I was trying to think positively about Chris, the tightly closed door started shaking violently.

He quickly got up from his seat and fixed his sword.

It seems that his existence was discovered because of the battle with the living armor.

‘Patience. Now I don’t even have half my magic power left… … .’

Of course, I had no intention of dying quietly.

When the door, which had rattled relentlessly, was finally opened, Chris charged, intending to catch the opponent off guard.

However, the attack of the opponent who spurred through the door was faster than Chris, who was preparing first.

He let out the breath he had been taking in at the dull shock he felt in his stomach.

The moment Chris panicked instinctively tried to strike the sword.

A robe with a familiar look came into his eyes.

Only then did he realize that the attacker was Illesis.

“chris! You are safe.”

“How do you feel… … .”

He hurriedly lowered his sword, and Tyrone followed Illesis.

After closing the large door, he clicks his tongue and exhales.

“Oh, I really thought I was going to die. for a moment! Isn’t this a complete treasure trove?”

After looking around the room, Tyrone quickly begins to gather the discarded equipment with his eyes wide open.

Chris asked her, carefully removing the Illesis that was clinging to him.

“Uh, how did you find me?”

It was certainly auspicious that the two joined, but questions outweighed joy.

Wasn’t Chris giving up on the help of his colleagues from the beginning?

Satisfied with his safety, Illesis gladly told me how.

“When you were in a coma, a powerful tracking spell was cast over your body. I followed that signal and came all the way here. I’m so glad it’s not as far away as it looks.”

“Wait, why did you place a tracking spell without telling me?”

When Chris, slightly bewildered, asked as if rebuking him, Illesis responded very calmly.

It was as if he was saying that he had added sugar to his coffee.

“You ran away leaving me behind in Seidran. How do you know when it will happen again?”

“no. Even though… … .”

“Oh, so Chris, you think I shouldn’t have done that? Whether you run away again or not, I’ll just be abandoned, right?”

Illesis’ expression darkened rapidly, and a chill pierced his voice.

Tyrone, weighed down by the suddenly heavy atmosphere, glared at Chris and rubbed his palms as if begging for help.

Chris took his advice and apologized back to Illesis.

I really have nothing to say about cheating on her at Seidran’s Royal Palace, and this time, in the end, a tracking spell saved her life.

More than anything else, when I thought that he had come running to me without hesitation, I didn’t want to have an argument any longer.

“ah… okay. I might as well place some tracking orders. Thank you for saving me this time.”

Illesis, who received Chris’ apology, looked at his body with a smile, as if asking when she was angry.

Her hands seemed quite skillful in applying medicine and bandaging the wound.

He probably did the same thing while he was lying down.

When the atmosphere returned to normal, Chris vomited out the accumulated questions.

“But you guys managed to come all the way here safely.”

“Illesis got rid of the golems the same way you did.”

Chris tilted his head as Tyrone replied while examining the new equipment.

“He doesn’t have a mirror ring, does he?”

“I can easily imitate magic that I have seen once.”

Illesis, who finished Chris’s treatment, replied politely, and the two men clicked their tongues.

Eventually, when Tyrone finished collecting the equipment, Chris decided to return without hesitation. Now, not only is there no space left in the backpack, but the magic power is slowly becoming dangerous.

The process of escaping from the Tomb of Swords wasn’t too difficult, but the guard golems who witnessed Chris’ clone didn’t panic as before. Perhaps they are getting used to Yangdong in their own way.

It wouldn’t be a big problem until we left the ruins, but it seemed very dangerous to come back later.

“Are those guys even learning on their own that it’s called artificial intelligence?”

“If it didn’t have that level of functionality, we wouldn’t have been able to annihilate that many parties.”

The harvest of this exploration is sufficient anyway, so there will be few things to revisit here.

Thinking so, Chris passed through the outskirts of the city and reached the entrance of the ruins.

At some point, the longed-for sunlight greeted the three people covered in dust.
