Episode 83:
Raid’s attack, which was well over 3 meters long, was like a dump truck running at full speed, to add a little bit of exaggeration.
They say that if a person is attacked by a bear, their body freezes and they cannot move. But now that the situation actually happened, I felt like I could understand their feelings.
My body definitely stiffens.
It attacks you faster than you can think about how to deal with it.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Reid’s front paw passed by his hair and hit the tree behind him.
Grumbling. Wow –
the thick tree fell helplessly.
Wow!
Reid showed tremendous speed that did not match his size.
The speed of Reid’s front feet was so great that even a slight delay in concentration was dangerous.
It was a speed that wouldn’t be surprising if it felt like an arrow was being shot.
‘It’s hard to run away.’
Reid’s entire attention is focused on me.
I could feel his will to never let go of me.
Reid was such a powerful monster that it was said that no one but the Sword Master could deal with it.
Even the great protagonist avoided the raid when he found out Al’s identity.
Eventually, they hunted Reid, but it was clear that it was a dangerous monster that even the protagonist of the world avoided.
Such a monster was attacking me.
Even his speed is similar to mine or slightly faster than mine.
I didn’t have the confidence to run away safely from a guy like that.
“Hmph!”
Kwaaaaang!
I thought I had raised my sword and let go of my front foot, but before I knew it, my body was floating in the air.
Wow!
Reid bared his teeth and rushed over.
Its front paw attacked my body.
Quaaaang!
If it weren’t for the newly acquired sword, my body would have split into two long ago.
That’s how powerful each and every one of Reid’s attacks was.
I was pushed so hard that I couldn’t even act, so I had no choice but to sweat.
At first, all I could think about was trying to survive somehow.
But as one minute passed, and then two more minutes passed, I started to get irritated.
“Whoosh… whoosh… damn it.”
It was the first time I had operated an Auror for such a long time.
As the goal began to ring, the hand holding the sword trembled.
This was the result of receiving two or three attacks from Reid.
It was something that should not have been stopped.
It should have been avoided at all costs, but the slightest hint of pride made things worse.
Bang kwaaang!
The sword filled with aura, as if the fur was made of steel, was thrown out feebly.
The more I battled with Raid, the more I became convinced that I couldn’t win on my own.
“Get away from me.”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was filled with aura and swung at Reid.
Reid was surprised by the sudden increase in the number of Aurors and took a step back.
“Whoa….”
That short period of time came to me as an irreplaceable opportunity.
‘Acting’ is not something you can do right away if you want to.
A preparation process is required and time is needed to assimilate into the character.
“Hehe…”
I took a deep breath and got away from Reid.
Who would be the best person for this situation?
Hero?
no. The reason he caught Reid was because he was lucky.
There is someone else who has captured a raid with only his own strength.
[‘An unknown god’ is looking at you.]
A man who came to the North alone and returned as a sword master.
The Count of the Serion Kingdom, who proudly took charge of one axis of the kingdom.
Count Warrug is the person best suited to this situation.
I played him, remembering him from the novel and remembering everything about him I had recently met.
The fluttering momentum was over, and the wildly fluctuating aura calmed down.
“Whoa…”
Three deep breaths.
In that short time, I became Count Warrug.
Natural talent.
Honestly, I didn’t think I could act this fast.
It was even funny to think that in modern times, I was able to acquire the acting talent I had longed for here.
Crrrrr-
That’s not important right now.
I could see Reid getting nervous at my change in momentum.
Reid is nervous.
Count Warrug’s spirit is definitely fierce.
The next monster after the dragon is on guard.
So what about the swordsmanship?
[‘The nameless god’ looks at you sadly.]
What?
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I didn’t have time to pay attention to the message.
Wow!
Reid started moving again.
Tremendous speed.
The wolf’s claws were aimed at my neck.
Kaaaang!
I raised my sword and blocked it.
Kang. Kaaaang!
I blocked Reid’s attack more calmly.
Reid’s movements were clearly visible and he was blocking properly.
But something was strange.
‘Nothing has changed.’
The swordsmanship I was using now was not much different from the one I usually used.
Even though I played Count Warrug, nothing has changed.
The swordsmanship was the same and the Auror operation was something I could do with just a little concentration.
‘What has changed?’
Nothing had changed at all.
The swordsmanship was the same, the only thing that changed was that the momentum I gave off became sharper and heavier.
Why is nothing changing?
For me, ‘acting’ was a solution when something happened.
I performed the protagonist’s swordsmanship when dealing with apprentice wizards and knights.
In addition, when dealing with orcs and trolls, the protagonist was able to solve the problem thanks to his sword skills.
‘Why are you doing this now?’
Could it be that I don’t know much about Count Warrug?
Yes, that could happen.
In the novel, it was only mentioned that there was a Count Warrug, but his swordsmanship was not detailed.
Then all you have to do is play someone else.
[‘The nameless god’ looks at you and sympathizes with you.]
No.
Even Ahar didn’t help me now.
Instead, I almost got eaten by him.
what.
Why on earth is it not working?
Was there any difference between before and now?
does not exist. They acted the same way and held the sword the same way.
No matter how much I acted, I could not demonstrate the same power as the main character in the novel.
What am I missing?
‘No. Why did I think that acting would improve my swordsmanship skills?’
If acting improves your swordsmanship, all modern actors must become masters.
But the reality was not like that.
The reality is that after countless efforts, you practice swordsmanship and then add acting on top of it.
I had the illusion that I could learn swordsmanship through acting.
One of the biggest reasons why I made that mistake.
‘I forgot that this body is a swordsman genius.’
This is a talent that Ahar somehow wanted to acquire.
There was no way such a talent wasn’t special.
I beat the apprentice wizard, beat the knight, beat up the bandits, felt the Auror, all that.
Because I have a talent for swordsmanship.
I mistakenly attributed it to ‘acting’.
Actually, that wasn’t the case.
“It would have been better if I had known sooner.”
Even though I said that, I didn’t feel bad.
Acting is an auxiliary to swordsmanship.
At least that’s the case for now.
That also meant that I needed to focus more on swordsmanship rather than acting.
“Is this why you looked at me like that?”
[The ‘Unknown God’ is silent.]
[The ‘Unknown God’ is confused as to what answer he will give.]
It is clear that that God knew this.
Otherwise, there is no reason to feel sorry for acting in this situation.
You don’t have to worry about me if you become stronger through acting.
God is worried about me not understanding acting accurately.
I realized it too late.
‘It’s not too late.’
I stopped acting.
Count Warrug’s momentum disappeared, and Reid was wary of it and did not hastily attack him.
I needed time to organize my thoughts, and I am so grateful that they gave me the time.
“Swordsmanship… it’s swordsmanship.”
I only thought about swordsmanship.
But what is swordsmanship? A thought suddenly occurred to me.
Although I have a talent for swordsmanship, I don’t know how to use it.
All I know is that swinging a sword is as easy as using your hands.
Other than that, I don’t know much about it.
Even in modern times, all I had to do was briefly learn kendo for acting.
Even here, I had never properly learned swordsmanship.
I just trained my body and swung the sword as I wanted.
‘How did Ahar use his sword skills?’
There was only one person I could think of at the moment.
The person who best suits my current situation.
Ahar, who killed Raymond and took away his swordsmanship talent.
I remembered all his appearances in the novel.
“I definitely did it this way.”
I spread my legs and bent my back slightly.
He raised his sword horizontally and looked at Reid.
Wow!
Reid, who was glaring at me while covering the entrance to the cave, screamed and rushed at me.
I quietly watched the movement and swung my sword.
Sigh!
Blood splattered out.
Wow!
Reid screamed and stepped back.
For the first time, I inflicted a wound on Reid’s body.
“You just had to not think about it.”
When handling a sword, you must empty your thoughts.
All you have to do is surrender your body to the sword and move as if you were the sword.
Woo-woo-
The sword cried and accepted the auror without mercy.
‘This isn’t enough.’
So far so good.
But you can’t beat the raid with this.
Reid is not called the strongest creature for nothing.
Since it has that much power, you should erase the thought that you can catch it unless you are a sword master.
‘But it will be helpful when running away.’
It’s hard to kill Reid.
And there is no need to hatch the eggs.
Dealing with Reid meant nothing to me.
It’s good to learn about swordsmanship against Reid, but I don’t want to risk my life to do something.
“Hmm.”
Let’s go back.
If I feel this way now, I think I can easily run away.
Crrrrr.
Reid, who was wounded, went berserk and rushed at him.
‘It’s gone…!’
Reid disappeared from sight.
I felt an eerie sensation behind my back. He quickly turned around and raised his sword.
“Wow!”
For a moment, my vision darkened.
“Ugh.”
When I came to my senses, I found myself inside a cave.
My entire body throbbed, from the arm holding the sword to my shoulder.
“crazy.”
I lost consciousness after being attacked once.
It was definitely blocked.
Crrrrr.
Thump thump. The entire cave is shaking and Reid is running.
I tried to stand up with my sword and my cane.
“ah. shit.”
It’s not just the arms.
My ankle was broken and I was back.
It was impossible to stand up. If Ellis was next to me, I would have used the potion, but she wasn’t next to me.
“It’s ruined.”
It was a hopeless situation no matter who looked at it.
Reid’s body, which came closer, was twice as big as before.
Photodifferentiation.
Ability that Reid has.
Since he attacked me with a body like that, should I say it was brave of him to come to his senses?
This is hopeless.
Crrrrr.
Still, I don’t want to die easily.
I somehow turned my aura and waited for Reid’s attack.
“…?”
But Reid’s condition was strange.
Even though it is clear that if you attack me now, you can easily kill me.
Reid didn’t hastily attack me.
Instead, he was very wary of me and was faltering.
Tuk.
Something touched my back heel.
I heard the sound of it rolling backwards as it touched my foot.
Wow!
Reid looked at my feet and let out a scream-like scream.
