The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 130
Episode 130
Sigh boom! Boom!
“Ahh! Tusi eussi!”
Josh let out a strange sound and forced his trembling arm to swing the spear.
However, he lacked the strength, skill, and speed to receive the spear from the statue of Jeremiah.
Crumbling, crunching.
Josh’s body, which received the statue’s blow, was pushed and rolled around on the floor, unable to withstand it.
“Hahaha, you’re such a bad guy.”
It felt strange to hear laughter coming from a statue with no change in expression.
“What the fuck. “It’s not over yet!”
Josh tried to force his trembling body up, but the flying spear pushed his chest.
Blood flowed from Josh’s mouth as he was once again pushed to the edge of the training ground.
“The little one has good spirit and is quick to respond for his age, but his skills are still lacking. “That’s it for you.”
After the statue finished speaking, Josh’s body naturally flew out of the training ground.
Then the statue returned to its original position and closed its eyes as before.
“Mr. Lee.”
Josh got angry as if he was disappointed, but his body was not in a state to continue the fight.
“Good job Sir Josh. “Drink this and rest for a while.”
When Raoul took out a high-quality potion and handed it to him, Josh bent his knees and politely accepted the potion with both hands.
“I’m embarrassed to show my insignificant appearance. “I apologize for damaging the master’s honor.”
Josh’s expression looked angry as he said that.
Well, even though it was a monster statue that even pulled out auras, I tried to consider the situation, but I was beaten for over 10 minutes.
But rather than being disappointed, Raoul was honestly a little surprised.
‘I can’t believe I lasted 10 minutes. In my previous life, I couldn’t last even a minute and was kicked out…’
Of course, at that time, I had just reached the level of expert and was learning the mediocre C-grade common spearmanship.
However, even after that, I had never heard of a player who used a spear as their main weapon to last more than 5 minutes, which confirmed Josh’s tenacity and talent once again.
‘Then slowly.’
Raoul took out his spear from his inventory and stepped onto the training ground.
The eyes of the Jeremiah statue flash open and aura surges out of the window.
At the same time, a system message appeared before Raoul’s eyes.
-Check the challenger’s spear skills and skill proficiency.
– [Rivera Spear (B)] proficiency has been confirmed to be intermediate level 8.
– The grade of the mandatory quest [Jeremiah’s Test] has been set to B.
‘It’s grade B. ‘It’s okay.’
The grade assigned in my previous life was a whopping S, and warning messages about unqualifications flashed one after another.
I took on the challenge with the thought that it wouldn’t matter if I died, but even though I used all my telekinetic powers, I barely managed to run away in less than a minute.
But this time, the start was different.
“Ho-oh, which family’s knight is this? “You have quite a useful momentum.”
Even the statue’s lines were different. At that time, I didn’t even say a word and was beaten up and then kicked out.
chuck.
Raoul shouted, aiming his spear at Jeremiah.
“Raoul of the Earl of Ashton. “I ask my senior for guidance.”
“Cluck. The kid is in good spirits. “Go for it!”
Damn it!
Raoul’s spear spun quickly in his hand, piercing the wind and flying towards Jeremiah.
Burst! Empty!
Jeremiah blocks Raoul’s spear by lightly moving the spear with one hand. However, as Raoul’s successive attacks continued, the sound of the spears clashing filled the training hall.
“Feel so good! I like that the basics are solid. “If you feel better, let’s hang out properly!”
A blue manasphere rose from Jeremiah’s window.
Not to be outdone, Raoul pulled out a golden Mana Sphere.
bang! Kwakwang!!
A powerful bursting sound that could not be compared to anything before erupted, and shattered mana fragments swept the training ground.
Surprisingly, Raoul was not at all defeated by the statue of Jeremiah and was engaging in an equal battle.
No, rather, Raoul seemed to be gradually gaining the upper hand.
“As expected, Master! “I can’t believe you showed me such a close match against that monster!”
Josh flattered Raoul by loudly praising his skills as if it were natural, and while Ken admired Raoul’s spear skills, he could not take his eyes off the spear skills performed by the statue of Jeremiah.
‘Are you sure. It’s a little different from the current family’s spear skills, but it’s definitely our family’s spear skills.’
Spearmanship has changed over time, but its fundamentals remain the same.
Ken’s heart swelled as he saw his family’s spear skills displayed perfectly.
Did the fight last like that for about 5 minutes?
Suddenly, Raoul’s spear skills changed.
‘Huh?’
Ken’s eyes widened.
The trajectory of Raoul’s spear, the flow of power, and the transfer of power were a spear technique I had seen many times before.
‘That’s our family’s spear technique!’
The new spear technique that Raoul has begun to use is [Fury Wave], the spear technique of the Marquess of Ken’s family, Greer. It was the so-called Wave Spear of Anger.
* * *
‘Whoa. I’ve done some ibis, but it’s still not enough.’
Raoul used the copycat to steal the [Beginner Fury Wave (B+)] spear technique.
However, it is not easy to imitate advanced spear techniques at once, so the skill level was only a few levels lower than B+.
“Hoo. Are you really imitating my spear skills? “That was possible in such a short period of time?”
The statue of Jeremiah seemed interesting and stabbed him with a spear.
Raoul blocked the spear following the method of the stolen Fury Wave.
“Tsk tsk tsk. The brat was showing off. “I’ll show you just how dangerous it is to clumsily imitate spear techniques!”
The momentum of the statue changed completely. And then a system message appeared before Raoul’s eyes.
-[Jeremiah’s Test] quest grade has been raised to A grade. Please be careful.
And then, as if it was just a joke, a harsh and destructive spear was aimed at Raoul.
‘Is this the essence of [Fury Wave]?’
The rotating waves of spears came rolling in one after another, like waves constantly rolling in.
Raoul activated his analysis eye and copycat skills to the maximum, analyzed the approaching spear technique, and threw out his spear.
Quagwang! Grumble!
It seemed like he would be pushed aside all at once, but surprisingly, Raoul was holding up well.
The power and technical aspects of the spear itself were overwhelmingly dominated by the statue of Jeremiah, but Raoul’s physical strength, using the aura of brilliance and telekinesis enhancement techniques, was making up for the lack.
And as time passed, Raoul’s spear skills gradually grew by absorbing Jeremiah’s.
The fight continued like this for about ten minutes, and Jeremiah momentarily gained momentum and pushed Raoul away, then laughed out loud.
“Hahaha, it’s the devil’s talent! Is it possible to replicate someone else’s technique just by seeing and experiencing it? If he had lived in the same era, he could have been a good opponent… That’s good. I’ll show you the essence of ‘real’ spearmanship for you. Please survive and make this spear art your own!”
Rolling.
At once, the entire atmosphere surrounding the training center seemed to vibrate.
And in front of Raoul, a bright red system message was warning of danger.
-warning! warning!
-Quest difficulty has been forcibly adjusted to S rank.
-This is an extremely dangerous situation. We recommend that you abandon the quest.
But Raoul actually smiled and welcomed this situation.
‘It’s a joy that can never be achieved if it’s not now, so are you telling me to give up now? ‘You can’t do that.’
And it wasn’t that there were no ways to deal with it.
Without hesitation, Raoul poured mana into his belt, put on power armor, and summoned Regnator one after another.
“You’re dealing with a pretty dangerous guy,”
said Raoul’s teacher Cardenas, looking at the statue of Jeremiah.
“Do you know someone?”
“Of course. This is a junior guy I was quite close with. “It seems like he had a lot of regrets about leaving a place like this behind.”
Cardenas seemed to know the founder of the Greer family well when he said that he helped establish the weaponry of the kingdom’s prestigious samurai family.
‘If it weren’t for the ban, we could have gotten information about Connect’s past.’
The teacher, Cardenas, was a person who lived before the founding of the Kingdom of Ruben.
Contrary to the thought that I would be able to obtain a lot of helpful information, all I could hear from him was information that was generally known.
Other than that, Cardenas couldn’t say anything due to the ban even if he wanted to.
“You guys are really talented too. Exposure to various martial arts is also necessary to reach the level, so I won’t say much, but please always keep in mind that excessive greed can lead to anger.” As
Raoul took a stance and infused mana into the spear, the statue of Jeremiah began to move in earnest. I started to win.
“It’s still too much for you to collide head-on. Keep his spear in check with the Mana Sphere amplified by the Power Armor and focus on evading as much as possible!” It
was obvious that the Master’s Auror Sphere could not be blocked with the Mana Sphere.
Raul received advice from Cardenas and moved as defensively as possible.
Fortunately, the power of the Auror was enormous, but the movements of the Jeremiah statue were not as agile as expected.
‘After all, a doll cannot perfectly capture the Master’s movements.’
If he was a true master, the power of his body would also have been amplified, and even Raoul would not have been able to dodge it properly.
Anyway, in terms of physical strength, Raoul, who was wearing power armor and a telekinesis buff, was somehow comparable to the statue of Jeremiah, and with Cardenas’ advice added, the battle was not easily concluded.
“omg. omg.”
Raoul took a deep breath and looked at the statue of Jeremiah.
The Auror Spear extending from the statue had disappeared, and the statue had stopped moving with its spear stuck on the ground.
“I salute your inaction. I can’t deal with you anymore with this body. “I hope that what you gain from your confrontation with me today will help you in your future steps.”
The statue of Jeremiah, who spoke in a more serious tone as if acknowledging Raoul, lightly gave his respects with a fist and then returned to his original position and closed his eyes.
-The forced quest [Jeremiah’s Test] has been completed.
-As a reward, you will receive [Mansion Warehouse Key A], [Title – One who has received Jeremiah’s recognition (S)], 50,000 player coins, and a large amount of experience points.
-Level up! 85=〉87LV
‘You did it.’
Even though it was half-baked, it succeeded in holding on against a master-level player.
Thanks to this, not only did I receive a generous reward, but I was also able to acquire the spear skills of the Marquis Greer, which was my original goal.
As a result of continuing to copycat even to the point of overdoing it, the final result was [Fury Wave (A+)]. Intermediate 3LV proficiency was a bonus.
And although it wasn’t announced, I was able to obtain the ‘title’ reward that was activated when the open beta service started for the first time.
[Title – One who has received Jeremiah’s approval]
Grade: S
Effect: Power of spear-related skills +20%, increase in proficiency of spear-related skills +20%, increase in proficiency of all skills up to master level +10%.
Can be obtained from ancient dungeons or special quests. Various titles had passive effects that were automatically applied just by holding them.
Although it is difficult to obtain and the number of items is limited, we were able to obtain great additional effects.
I felt good because I received an unexpected reward, but it wasn’t the time to be satisfied yet.
This is because Raoul’s purpose was not Jeremiah in the first place.
“Sir Ken. Now it’s your turn. “I hope you go and get everything you can.”
Ken, who had been mesmerized by Raoul’s battle scene, came to his senses after hearing his words.
‘Master is truly a genius. ‘To be able to reproduce our family’s spear skills so perfectly in such a short period of time.’
I don’t know how that’s possible, but I had no choice but to admit it since I saw the results right in front of my eyes.
‘…I can’t lose either.’
Even Raoul, a complete outsider, learned his family’s spear skills like that, so how shameful it would be if he, who had trained his entire life, was inferior to him.
“I will do my best!”
Ken, with determination, stepped into the training hall.
Then, Raoul took a moment to catch his breath and turned his attention to another training ground.
Zeinak.
The master of supernatural powers was waiting for Raoul.
