The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 218
Episode 218
Chararalak!
The army of weapons that swept the battlefield approached Raoul and created a wall of steel.
“Absolute Elemental Shield!”
Once again, the light green shield created by Ravel protected Raoul.
“this! “Stop him!”
Imperial Masters Ezekiel and Stanton noticed the incident and rushed towards Raoul.
visor! Teudong!
“Where!”
“It will never pass!”
But Lawrence and Jake Kane quickly blocked the way.
The moment of crossing the border.
There was an inevitable process to overcome human limitations: the reconstruction of the body and the realization of a new level.
In order to overcome the limitations of the human body, waste products from the body are excreted, the skeleton is reorganized, and the body evolves into a form best suited for battle.
Likewise, the knowledge about nothingness that you have learned and experienced so far is organized and you prepare to walk a new path.
Additionally, you realize the essence of mana, which ordinary humans cannot feel, and go through an awakening to get closer to it.
In some ways, it was like a blessing, but it could have been very dangerous if the enemy was in front of you.
If there is a problem in the process of receiving mana, mana reflux occurs.
If you do not properly organize your enlightenment due to the urgency of the situation, there may be a side effect of delayed growth in the future.
This was the same when not only master but also expert level knights surpassed each level.
If someone was awakened during battle, it was natural to do their best to protect them.
Wedge!
The arrow of the Empire’s bow master, Bryce, who was in a battle of pride, changed its target and headed towards Raoul.
Wizard Fry, who seemed shocked by the magic being broken, opened his eyes wide and unleashed various attack spells he had memorized.
Pubbung! bang!
“Guoooo!”
The bones and corpses near Raoul exploded with McClanahan’s magic ‘Corpse Explosion’, and the surviving undead army rushed towards Raoul, targeting only him.
bang! Pubububung!
visor! visor!
All of the enemy’s attacks were aimed at Raoul alone, and their attacks were constantly pounding Ravel’s shields and weapon corps.
* * *
‘Um, what about this place?’
Raoul blinked quietly.
The ear-piercing noise of the battlefield disappeared and complete silence surrounded me.
The undead legions and the overbearing superhumans of the empire that were charging with malicious intent were nowhere to be seen.
All I see is a pure white space with no end in sight.
“It finally came back.”
Raoul smiled at his lips.
There was no tension because it was something I had already experienced once.
[Room of Enlightenment].
Players used to call this place that.
A place you visit the moment you achieve intermediate level 10 skill proficiency and reach character level 100.
Here, you will learn new skills and how to use mana appropriate for each job.
‘hmm. ‘Anyway, where is the instructor?’
If he remembered correctly, it was time for an instructor to appear to teach him a new level.
Faaat.
And just in time, the white space distorted and someone appeared in front of Raoul.
“…Why you?”
Raoul looked at the person who appeared in front of him with a puzzled expression.
Pababababat!
But he didn’t seem to have any intention of answering Raoul’s questions.
Before I knew it, the white space in front of Raoul was filled with countless ‘army armies’.
“Okay, let’s give it a try, right?”
Charalalak!
An army of thousands of weapons rose up behind Raoul.
“I’m sorry, but I’ve already surpassed you a long time ago!”
At Raoul’s gesture, the army of weapons began to fly towards the front.
A person who appears in front of Raoul.
That’s him from his previous life.
It was Bae Do-hyeon.
Quagwagwagwang!
* * *
“Cough.”
Raoul coughed, holding the longsword that pierced his chest with his hand.
Blood was flowing endlessly, staining his front lip red.
“I’m disappointed.”
When Bae Do-hyeon, who was standing expressionless, made a slight gesture, the longsword fell out and Raoul collapsed helplessly on his seat.
‘damn.’
Raoul fell to the floor and clenched his fists weakly in anger.
The very next moment, his body was engulfed in white light, his wounds healed, and his strength returned.
It was already the fifth time.
Raul lost all five times against Bae Do-hyun.
Of course, there were many excuses.
Another of his strengths, his swordsmanship, was sealed.
He couldn’t even manifest mana blades, let alone auras.
And unlike Bae Do-hyun in his previous life, Bae Do-hyun in front of him was demonstrating the same power as Raoul.
Immense spiritual power gained through Quercus meditation.
Telekinetic power-up obtained from Zeinak’s dungeon and the Tower of Tests.
All of this also applied to Bae Do-hyun.
In other words, the Bae Do-hyun in front of us only looked like Bae Do-hyeon, but he was able to use power that was completely equal to that of Raoul.
Raoul was even more upset about that.
At that time, Bae Do-hyun opened his mouth.
“What on earth have you been doing for two years? “Why are you so weak?”
“Tsk. “I…”
Two years after waking up again in Raoul’s body.
Raoul has done his best.
By improving his weak constitution, he aimed to become a master in a short period of time.
By creating the First Guild, he grew his own power, prevented the destruction of his family, and established a strong foundation in the kingdom.
We supported players and recruited rankers to create the Purple Guild.
In addition, a mechanism has been established to exert enormous influence on players through the association.
But….
“Bae Do-hyeon, not Raoul. Say it. What is your origin?”
“I…”
“What is the power that led you to the peak of being a player? “Why were everyone, including players and NPCs, afraid of you?”
‘Telekinesis.’
Raoul bit his lip.
In his previous life, Bae Do-hyeon walked around the world of Connect with only telekinesis.
Standing at the top of nearly a billion players, he was the first to pioneer the path.
Among the players, he was the first to reach superhuman status and was recognized as the only player who could fight one-on-one with NPC superhumans.
They were called the ‘ruler of the battlefield’ and the ‘one-man army’ and shook up the battlefield.
Only with ‘telekinesis’.
But Raoul in this life was different.
Since I met a great swordsman from a great family, I focused my efforts on improving my swordsmanship.
Thinking that his telekinetic ability, which he had already achieved once, was sufficient, he focused more on swordsmanship.
Thanks to this, I am on the verge of becoming a master, but is that enough?
‘That can’t be possible.’
Reaching the level of mastery through swordsmanship.
Needless to say, it was a huge task and a top position that only a select few knights could reach.
But can one truly claim to be the best on the continent just because he or she has reached the position of master?
The answer was no.
His father, Earl Melvin, was a master-level master, and Duke Templeton, also known as a sword master, was a top-level sword master.
No matter how much I practiced my swordsmanship, there was no way I could surpass them in a short period of time.
“Don’t forget your identity, Raoul. “You are not only Raoul of the Ashton family, but you are also Bae Do-hyeon, the greatest telekineticist.”
“Ah, that’s right. I forgot. “What’s important?”
With Charara.
An army of weapons appeared behind Raoul’s back again.
“In that sense, let’s stick together again!”
Bae Do-hyeon raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at Raoul rushing towards him.
“come! “I will treat you properly.”
* * *
‘Whoo.’
Raoul took a deep breath and looked ahead.
Bae Do-hyeon’s image blurred like a haze and then disappeared.
When I last saw him, he definitely seemed to be smiling.
‘…I barely reached a tie.’
I don’t know how much time passed, but after dozens of battles, we were finally able to achieve a draw.
Bae Do-hyeon, whom I met as an enemy, was a truly strong and scary enemy.
‘If I had faced him as Sword Master Raoul…’
Even if he died and woke up, he would not have been able to win.
“Do you really think so?”
“…! Master! how?”
In the place where Bae Do-hyeon disappeared, his swordsmanship teacher Cardenas appeared.
“Hehehe. It’s a mental space. “I never thought I would come in like this.”
Cardenas smiled.
“What happened outside? How much time has passed?”
When Raul asked about a thought that suddenly occurred to him, Cardenas clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, tsk, is this guy who has clearly stepped into the realm once asking such a question? “For now, focus entirely on learning new things.”
Cardenas was right.
In any case, time in this room of enlightenment’s mental space flows differently than outside.
And what one gains from this place depends solely on Raoul’s own concentration.
“There is no need to talk much. “Come in right away!”
Before I knew it, the teacher had a sword in his hand.
Raoul also did not hesitate and drew his sword.
Shuuuung.
An auror blade naturally formed at the tip of the sword.
“I’ll teach you what a proper master is. Then you won’t think such weak thoughts.”
It seemed that Cardenas had correctly read Raoul’s thoughts that he would not be able to defeat telekinetic master Bae Do-hyeon with the power of the Master.
visor! Chat!
The teachings of Cardenas, the teacher of all masters, began in the space of imagery.
* * *
Faaat.
Cardenas disappeared.
Raoul finally straightened his shaking legs.
Unlike Bae Do-hyeon, his teacher Cardenas was like a wall that could not be overcome.
Until the last moment, Raoul’s sword could not even graze the hem of his teacher’s clothes.
However, Raoul’s expression was not one of satisfaction but was full of surprise.
‘oh my god!’
I was able to understand why Cardenas is called the teacher of masters.
Jiyiing.
A golden auror blade shot out nearly 2 meters from Raoul’s sword.
And the very next moment, like an insect’s antennae, it divided into two branches and each moved, but this time they came together and turned into a shape with a round end like a mace.
A free variation of the Auror Blade.
It meant none other than the level of intermediate master level.
It was truly unexpected to reach the intermediate level in one go by becoming a master.
‘Thank you, Master.’
While Raoul was so emotional, someone’s voice was heard.
“Are you satisfied with that much?”
“…?”
Obviously, the two training opportunities I got from crossing the border were over, but who else showed up?
Raoul’s eyes widened as he turned his head and confirmed the identity of the voice.
“you…!”
* * *
“Stone wall, rise!”
“Swing, wind!”
Sweat was beading on Ravel’s face as he stood on the wide open skill encyclopedia and waved his magic wand.
bang!
“Elemental Shield!”
When the arrow loaded with Aura pierced Raoul’s weapon barrier and pierced Ravel’s fading shield, she hastily formed another shield.
Meanwhile, the Skeleton General, along with the undead army, had reached right in front of the weapon barrier and was wielding an Auror blade.
‘Hey!’
Ravel bit his lip and waved his magic wand.
“Wind Fist! “Blow it away!”
A translucent wind fist with a diameter of 2m appeared and struck the general and the undead.
Quaaaang!
The majority of the undead were swept away and flew back a few meters, but the General with the Auror Blade in front of him remained firmly in place.
And right then.
Fu shoot! Pabababat!
Sharp bone spears soared up, aiming for the label and skill encyclopedia.
“it!”
Before he could even memorize the magic, Ravel soared upward along with the skill book, and some of the weapon corps instead blocked the bone spear and fell down helplessly.
‘Raul, are we still far away?’
Ten minutes had already passed since Raoul closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, the Empire’s Bow Master Bryce and Necromancer McClanahan Wind Wizard Fry were attacking in waves, and Ravel alone was blocking them.
Even if Ravel was a 7th circle wizard who mastered magic, it was not easy to stop three superhumans alone.
If it had not been for the support of the weapon corps that Raoul had set up in advance, he would not have been able to endure.
It would have been enough if Cardenas had helped, but for some reason, there was no answer when I called.
I looked at the Naga camp just in case, but Warchief Raknesha, who had been firing arrows just a moment ago, was just watching with her arms crossed.
‘Raul, it’s dangerous if you’re late.’
Before I knew it, the mana stored in the skill book was running out.
If Raoul, the owner of the Skill Encyclopedia, does not supplement it, Ravel will soon be unable to perform any magic.
Pretzel Gwang!
At that time, the black Auror blade blew a large hole in the weapon’s barrier.
The weapon corps hurriedly tried to fill the hole, but the Auror blades were swung much faster than the speed at which they were blocked.
“You fly-like wizard. “That’s it.”
The Skeleton General, who had Raoul within attack range, shouted, emitting black magic energy from his entire body.
The moment when Ravel was hurriedly trying to memorize a spell to push away the General.
“You’re laughing.”
Kwajikkwajik!
The Skeleton General’s arms were crushed as if caught in the grasp of a giant, and the Auror Blade disappeared without a trace.
