Have learned Heraim Sword Skill.
By means of acquiring new Ancient Sword Skill, Strength increased by 15.
Agility increased by 20.
Heraim Sword Skill:
The developed sword skill of the Combat Race Heraim.
A very difficult skill to operate; evidently resulted in its extinction.
While moving forward without stopping, can deliver five consecutive strikes.
Depending on the skill level, the maximum possible of consecutive attacks and effect will increase.
Whenever success at continuous attacks, Strength and Agility will temporarily increase.
If the sword stopped moving, or is blocked, the skill will cease automatically.
200 Mana will be consumed when using the skill.
Restriction:
For those that learned swordsmanship.
Available to all.
Must have Mana to use.
The compensation for having made it to the forth floor was an ancient sword skill.
Whether it was limited sword skill, unique sword skill, or the extent of its power, all were unknown.
As soon as they learned the skill, the enemies flocked.
The feeling of hopelessness came from some unknown place seeped into Weed to a decent extent.
“The humans who woke us up.”
“The living humans…kill.”
“So I can…rest.”
The cursed Ghost Knights.
The knights were equipped with old swords and armors.
For having betrayed their commitment and having fallen into corruption during their lifetime, they had to pay by constantly living in suffering.
The number of knights and soldiers’ ghosts had gathered beyond the hundreds.
Even now, more and more of them were spawning from the ground.
Weed drew his sword.
“Let’s break through them.”
He intended to rush in the second he saw the dozens of the awakening ghosts of knights and soldiers!
Weed and the Geomchis all headed toward the same direction.
“Skill cast. Heraim Sword Skill!”
Above head, and toward the stomach, the hits landed.
When the continuous attacks were successful, the sword flew much faster.
First order of continuous attacks was successful.
Agility increases by 20%.
Second order of continuous attacks was successful.
Strength increases by 40%.
Third order of continuous attacks was successful.
Agility increases by an additional 40%.
Fourth order of continuous attacks was successful.
Strength increases by an additional 40%.
Fifth order of continuous attacks was successful.
Sent the enemy into Confusion.
Degrade the enemy’s Fighting Spirit.
The initial combo gave the second faster sword speed.
By the time of the third, the Ghost Knight dropped to his knees because of its awesome power!
The sword did not stop.
It returned in a smooth circle and connected at the exact point where Ghost Knight’s armor was most vulnerable.
And the transverse swung of the buffed up fifth blew away all the attacks of the enemy.
The Ghost Knight lays, crushed.
Heraim Sword Skill proficiency increased by 0.2%.
For the series of attacks to be successful up to the fifth order: sense of balance, visual acuity of the body, and proficiency in swordsmanship were all needed.
While not stopping the movement of the blade, one must respond immediately to the actions of the enemy.
Weed and the Geomchis having already mastered swordsmanship, thus quickly picked up the Heraim Sword Skill.
Fighting against the oncoming enemies, the Heraim Sword Skill demonstrated its ability by blowing them all away.
But rather, having already suppressed at least 80 of them, the number of enemies increased by twice of that.
“Damn.”
“This will not be easy.”
From Geomchi up till the instructors, their faces seemed solemn.
Even if you’re gifted in the art of the sword, it is limited within Royal Road.
With more and more enemies to fight, Health, Stamina, and Mana all decreases with each one.
Overtime, the end of their time was drawing near.
“Break them!”
“C’mon!”
Only the sound of Weed and the Geomchis reverberated.
“Heraim Sword Skill!”
First order of continuous attacks was successful.
Agility increases by 20%.
Second order of continuous attacks was successful.
Strength increases by 40%.
Third order of continuous attacks was successful.
Agility increases by an additional 40%.
Fourth order of continuous attacks was successful.
Strength increases by an additional 40%.
Fifth order of continuous attacks was successful.
The enemy has Fainted.
Has lost the ability to attack.
Whenever they used the skill, the Ghost Knights and Ghost Soldiers were crushed.
Their surrounding was unbearable; even with just moving a step, they were confronted by the lapping waves of enemies.
The Geomchis’ eyes turned cold.
Received a fatal blow!
The successive attacks were only able to be so when targeting the sensitive areas.
The Geomchis earnestly battled.
But with just that, it wasn’t going to turn the favor back to them in this war like situation.
For the first time, they could only advance toward one direction.
While more enemies spawned, they were forced to be wary of their rear.
Eventually, they were encircled, which further delayed their progress even more.
More than a third of those that arrived on the fourth floor died.
“Keook!”
“To die here…is really…inconvenient.”
They fought without regret.
Not a mistake on their part, the fault was on the lack of Stamina and Strength.
Some Geomchis died, fallen and turned into nothingness.
All those fought at one point or another almost collapsed from exhaustion.
All the Geomchis were killed.
In minutes, it was just Weed by himself.
“Sculpturing Blade!”
His most basic of sword skill.
A sword skill that while uses less Mana, able to fight off multiple opponents.
While wounded, he ferociously fought against the lance and sword wielding Ghost Knights and Solders.
Attack, attack, attack!
The ghost knights lost their lives, the soldiers fallen.
But Weed, by himself, could no longer move forward.
With each and every of the enemies’ attacks, his wounds deepened.
‘Damn.’
If he had not surpassed the Warrior’s Perseverance and Physical Resistance, he would have died in this situation already.
He could not use the Eyes Tightly Shut skill either.
While have already been surrounded by enemies, he also could not fully control his body as of now.
Weed alone, bravely fought against the horde of enemies for more than 10 minutes.
Less than 5% Stamina, Mana already depleted, and HP dipped below 23%; it was a situation where he could not win.
With the diminishing Strength, his arm felt heavy with the sword in his hand.
His body no longer moves fluid-like as before.
“I’ll take one more fool!”
He abandoned blocking the hits of his enemies.
Each and every attack using sword required a certain amount if Strength and Stamina.
He chose to decrease the distance between him and an enemy.
Weed having completely abandoned defending himself, the number of wounds rapidly shot up.
And in return, he was able to thrust his sword through the helmet of one of the knights.
“Up to here?”
Weed then gave up preventing their attacks landing.
However, he did not give up on picking up the items.
Having battled in one spot for a long time, it was a plate like area filled with items and loots!
There were so many items dropped by the Ghost Knight that were just scraps.
But if they were to go through the smelting process, all were able to be recycled.
In some cases, he obtained jewelries and fallen Gold.
If he left the Ghost Knights and the Ghost Soldiers alone, he could pick them up.
Hwiriririk!
Weed rolled on the ground.
Focusing everything into his hands, he quickly reached for the surrounding items.
Aimed for the more expensive items first, then onto the lowly japtems.
Then by the sword of a Ghost Knight, he died.
You have died.
The Weed who died fighting till the end.
The ghosts, once again, returned to their original position.
“Kkirikkkirik. All challengers have died.”
“Too bad they could not remove our curse.”
“Now I will return to my slumber once more.”
They burst into laughter and ridiculed their human challengers.
They believed everything has already been terminated!
At the spot where Weed died, the body had been replaced by a set of bones.
An unsightly sword wielding white skeleton!
A power received from the Necromancer; due to the power to deny death, a Skeleton Knight will be resurrected.
