The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 163
Episode 163
“Damn it. Let go! It’s not over yet!”
“I’m sorry, but it’s over now.”
Viscount Jayden was being dragged around by Dylan’s collar.
The gorgeous armor he was wearing was missing and was broken and broken in various places, turning into a lump of scrap metal.
The Viscount seemed to have broken his arms and legs, but he was hanging around helplessly and just kept talking.
‘Should I crush the snout too?’
Dylan barely resisted the temptation by opening and closing his itching left hand.
Viscount Jayden’s final assault yielded no results.
It was too obvious and the Count’s strongest knights were already waiting.
While each knight commander and the most elite armor users blocked the remaining armor users except Viscount Jayden, Dylan dealt with him.
Viscount Jaden’s level is expert level.
In addition, by receiving imperial tattoo treatment and instantly demonstrating explosive power, he was able to produce skills comparable to the highest level.
But it didn’t work for Dylan.
puck! Awesome!
It wasn’t for nothing that people gave Dylan the nickname ‘God-given body.’
Dylan’s body, which had learned [Zenak’s Fighting Art (A+)] from Raoul, was literally no different from a combat weapon.
Jaden Viscount’s Mana Blade could not pierce Dylan’s fists.
No, rather, a ridiculous situation occurred where the Mana Blade was hit by Dylan’s fist and shattered.
The Ashton family’s swordsmanship was a mid-range martial art similar to spearmanship.
Although it is a little slower than a regular sword, it has excellent range and destructive power.
However, there were many disadvantages to close combat, and if a very close combat was to be fought, fighting skills, not great swordsmanship, were needed.
In that respect, Dylan, who was equipped with excellent fighting skills, was no different from a natural enemy to Viscount Jayden, who had mastered the family’s swordsmanship.
‘As expected, I wasn’t wrong!’
Raoul just smiled proudly as he watched the fight.
As he judged, fighting skills were better for his eldest brother Dylan than swordsmanship.
After learning advanced fighting techniques, Dylan’s level, which had been stagnant at the beginning of the expert level, quickly reached the highest level, and it only took three months to master it.
And the results are now revealed in front of everyone on this battlefield.
Push! puck! Kkkkwang!
Dillon, who gradually beat Viscount Jayden’s force field, finally disabled his power armor and eventually shattered his greatsword with his Auror-covered fist.
In the end, the long and short civil war of the Count family came to an end when the Viscount, whose armor was beaten to rags and whose arms and legs were broken, was captured by Dillon.
Seokyeong.
Count Melvin cut off the head of Viscount Jaden, who had been captured, in front of everyone.
Viscount Jayden, with an aggrieved expression on his face, tried to say something, but he was executed right away without giving him time to do so.
It may have been the count’s decision to somehow quickly end the tragedy between brothers that did not have to happen.
And for a while, a bloody wind blew in the count’s house.
Every traitor who sympathized with Viscount Jayden was executed, and the lords who had conspired against him were stripped of their lordship status and expelled from the earldom.
And in their place, those who were loyal to the count family were appointed instead, and the county territory was once again reorganized around the count family.
Just as the saying goes that the ground hardens after the rain, the Earl of Ashton will now overcome difficult times without wavering.
* * *
Raoul was also rewarded.
Count Melvin handed over half of the 100 power armors, or 50, captured in the final battle to Raoul.
In addition, Raoul’s entire territory, including Calypse Castle, was recognized as an independent territory, ensuring that it would have a cooperative relationship with the count family in the future rather than dependence.
And he received 500,000 gold as a reward from the property recovered from the traitors.
As a result, the number of power armors secured by the First Knights is about 180.
By attacking the Imperial Hound hideout, 50 were obtained through this decisive battle, up from 60 in the 10 territory battles.
‘Once all the repairs are completed, we may be able to form two knight corps with only armor users.’
If that happens, there will be no one other than a fairly prestigious family to challenge Raoul’s territory.
It could be said that this was a sufficient gain, but Raoul still had another reward.
-The karma quest [Baron Alliance Siege] has been completed. Check out your rewards.
-The alternative scenario [The Last of the Impostors] has been completed. Check out your rewards.
– With the completion of [The Last of the Traitors], a new hidden scenario [New Heir to the Count Ashton] has been opened.
Raoul checked the system message and snorted.
‘I won’t do that count!’
They kept coming up with strange scenarios, but Raoul had no intention of doing so.
Now that they have secured an independent territory, what is the point of fighting over succession?
Now the count was out of Raoul’s hands.
Raoul put away the system message and checked the completed quest reward.
‘Oh, you’ve received two titles?’
[Title – Territory War Specialist]
Grade: B+
Effect: Morale of all troops +20% when commanding territory war, +5% own combat power during territory war. At
a glance, it was a territory war reward.
I don’t know how many territory wars will take place in the future, but it seemed like it would be quite helpful.
[Title – Punisher’s Mace]
Grade: A+
Effect: +10% combat power against traitors, traitors, and unclean people. Additional +10% combat power when helping someone.
It was a title that seemed good, but had conditions.
Although it was a bit disappointing that the target wasn’t clear, it wasn’t a bad thing.
No, to be honest, if the conditions were met, it was nothing short of a jackpot.
‘Passive buffs are always right.’
I don’t know how much the increase in combat power will actually be felt, but considering that the higher the level, the more difficult it is to increase proficiency…
Other than the title, the only notable reward would be the two small pills in his hand.
[Absolute stat increase pill]
Grade: S
Effect: Immediately after taking it, the selected stat is permanently increased (+1). The stat increase effect continues to increase based on the user’s absolute stats.
Application example: When the stat is 70, the effect increases to 71. If the stat reaches 80, it increases to 81.
‘okay. I woke up by overturning the scenario, so I should get this kind of compensation!’
The stat is in units of 10, and as each number increases, the experience points required for growth and the application effect increase dramatically.
However, regardless of the law, this pill unconditionally adds 1 to the stats.
In other words, it was a fraudulent item that gave an effect of 101 even if Raoul later reached 100, which is the human growth limit.
How happy would you be that you got two items at once, which you had only ever gotten once in your previous life?
‘Well, I couldn’t get it to 90 degrees in my past life.’
In this life, I wanted to overcome that limit.
After keeping the pills, Raoul checked the other rewards.
A few item enhancement coupons, a B-grade or lower skill book drawing ticket, 150,000 player coins, and a large amount of experience points were received.
‘What is this?’
In fact, it did not reach the level of compensation that Raoul had expected.
Perhaps it was because the forced scenario was destroyed.
However, I received real-world compensation that was just as good as the system compensation, and I overcame the family crisis well, so there was nothing to regret.
‘Then, shall we at least check the status window for the first time in a while?’
After realizing that the numbers in the status window were not a standard for judging absolute strength, Raoul stopped opening the status window often.
This is because I realized that as my level increased, the sensations I felt with my body were more important than the numbers I could see with my eyes.
However, as the big task was over and I had to prepare for the next step, I also wanted to check the growth so far.
“Open status window.”
*Name: Raoul
*Level: 84-〉99 (Hardcore Mode)
*Occupation: Knight (Sword Expert Top Level) Intermediate Telekinesis
*Affiliation: Earl of Ashton, Viscount Raoul’s First Guild
*Stats: [Strength 75-〉80] [Agility 79 -〉82] [Stamina 76-〉81] [Intelligence 71-〉77] [Spirit 80-〉83] [Magic Power 79-〉82] [Spiritual Power 82-〉85] [Sense 81-〉83] *
Unique characteristics: Skill Collector (EX) Developer’s Analysis Plan (EX) Telekinesis Meister (S+) Lineage of a prestigious swordsman (A) ??? (EX)
“Wow, it’s full.”
Before I knew it, the level had risen to 99.
And his mastery of his main skills, Infinity Sword (S+) and Telekinesis (S), also reached Intermediate Level 9.
This was the ‘Hell 999’ section that caused players frustration.
In order to reach the next level called master, you had to surpass level 100 and raise your main skill to advanced level 1, but the process was usually not difficult.
When I opened the system message at the bottom of the status window, there were several notes written there.
-Player Raoul was the first to reach level 99.
-The special title [Pioneer] has been given.
-Limited level currently provided to the player. You will not be able to receive experience support from the Connect system until further updates.
‘Yeah, I knew it would be like this.’
The level limit in the game has been reached, that is, max level.
In my previous life, I was the first to reach level 99 and checked the same message as now.
[Title – Pioneer]
Grade: EX
Effect: Experience and all skill proficiency +5%
It was a title that was naturally earned, so it didn’t feel particularly new.
The problem was that if I continued like this, I would lose the advantage of starting the game before others, but there was an additional message attached that I had not seen before.
-I discovered something unusual while scanning the player.
-It has been confirmed that player Raul’s body is a Connect resident.
-Special corrections are applied to residents (NPCs).
-Player Raul will be subject to the experience point assistance system for residents (NPCs) until a future update.
A smile appeared on Raoul’s lips.
‘Yeah, I knew it would be like this.’
Anyway, there were sword masters and higher superhumans among the residents.
Even if there was a player level limit, Raoul, a villager, could continue to grow.
Moreover, even though the guild members of the First Guild were ordinary NPCs, it was precisely because of this ‘resident experience point assistance system’ that they raised their level at a rapid rate compared to others.
‘Although it may not be a player-only system, it will be helpful enough.’
Without such help, Raoul would have had to train for decades like everyone else to reach the level of master on his own.
I don’t know when the next update will be, but I had to at least keep the gap that other players couldn’t catch up with.
From now on, it was a battle of time and patience.
The road from level 99 to level 100 was difficult.
In order to raise this level 1, I had to invest more time and effort than I had done so far to surpass it.
In my previous life, it took nearly 10 years, but this time it won’t take that long.
‘Because I have a resident system assistant and a cheat called Master Cardenas.’
And when you reach that level, you won’t be buried and dragged around by scenarios like you were in your past life.
Raoul strengthened his resolve again and successfully completed his first goal, ‘overcoming the family crisis.’
* * *
Turium, the capital of the Kingdom of Leuven.
The territorial war and the civil war between the counts were over, but not everything was over.
The royal family demanded an explanation for Raoul’s conduct of the territory war without royal observers and his rejection of the mediation proposal.
In addition, there were voices of criticism coming from the political world regarding the Earl of Ashton, accusing them of ignoring the royal family for executing dozens of nobles, including Viscount Jayden.
No matter how much the power of the royal family had weakened, it would have been foolish to give up completely.
Therefore, Raoul personally went to the First Guild branch in the capital to gauge the atmosphere and prepare to visit the royal palace.
“…So, most of the current royal affairs are being decided through the Third Prince Herdian…”
Kane briefed on the information obtained through spies, and Raoul frowned as if he was troubled.
‘The 3rd Prince. It keeps bothering me.’
Thanks to the three princes, who seemed to have changed from their previous lives, things were going wrong in many ways.
In any case, Raoul’s worries deepened because there was a high probability that he would become king in his previous life.
At that time, a servant came in and reported.
“Master’s guest has arrived.”
