The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 36

Episode 36

Everlast Ruins

[‘Weakened Doll Warrior’ has been defeated!]

[New title ‘Idiot Fighter’ has been acquired!]

“Haa haaa.”

I was out of breath in front of the collapsed doll.

The tension that never went away and the sense of accomplishment that I had accomplished it were all tangled together and pounding wildly in my heart.

Of course, the biggest impression is….

“It’s so hard!”

Anyway, this was my first ‘treatment’.

It means that the enemy has been completely defeated.

In the end, it turned into a messy dog fight, but…

‘Anyway, a win is a win!’

Of course, it would have been nice if it could have ended with just one technique, like the duel with the Marquis.

However, this time, the method of grafting did not show any significant effect.

‘Once the situation changed.’

In fact, the more I tried this trick the second or third time, the less effective it became.

‘If you think about it, it’s only natural.’

Flower grafting.

In other words, it is ‘moving flowers from another tree and making them bloom again.’

So, it makes perfect sense that if you fail once, it becomes more difficult to succeed the next time.

Thanks to this, I had to grit my teeth and compete with the puppet warrior.

And he succeeded in completely breaking the doll’s chest and returning it to dust.

“Whoa.”

After catching my breath, I got up and walked towards the remains of the doll.

There was something to look into.

If you completely kill an enemy without suppressing it, you can obtain additional rewards from the enemy’s corpse.

Those were the few items visible among the crumbled debris.

[Obtained 4 gold coins!]

[Obtained an intermediate magic stone (fire attribute)!]

[Obtained a doll warrior crystal piece!]

In total, it was worth approximately 15 gold.

I only caught one fish, but I got this much reward.

‘As expected, it’s very salty.’

But on the other hand, my mind was complicated.

There was something I realized through the battle just now.

‘I guess I can’t just learn the Manatee Sword Technique on my own.’

I urgently need a teacher to help me make this sword technique my own.

That was the conclusion I came to.

The original plan?

The idea was to naturally learn swordsmanship alone through battles that occur during quests.

This wasn’t impossible.

I’ve always played games like that.

‘Like the original game, I have a hit point system.’

Therefore, it was judged that swordsmanship could be sufficiently learned in the hunting field.

‘There are clear advantages to doing it this way.’

The advantage of following my method was that I could advance my swordsmanship just as much as needed and progress through the quest quickly.

‘The small hunting rewards are a bonus.’

But I’ve just confirmed that I can’t do that now.

The reason was simple.

‘The game and reality are so different.’

When playing the original, the swordsmanship unfolded just by controlling the keyboard and mouse at the right time.

In the process, my ‘skill’ gradually increased and my swordsmanship improved.

But now that I was holding the sword myself, it was a little different.

< Manatee Sword Technique >

Achievement: 1 star

Proficiency: 2.25%

It was normal for the proficiency to rise very quickly at the 1 star stage when one was just starting to practice swordsmanship.

however.

‘2 percent? ‘It only went up this much?’

At first, I thought it was 22.5%, but it was such an absurd figure.

At least this was the extent of what had accumulated from clashing swords once during a duel with the Marquis.

‘Considering the level of the defeated doll warrior, it should be at least 8% higher.’

…Something works differently from the original game.

why?

I’m not sure, but I expected that the cause might lie in the concept of ‘proficiency’ itself.

The Manewoo Sword Technique is a ‘comprehensive technique’.

It was different in many ways from the single skills that followed the fate card.

First of all, its composition.

Haewoo Sword Technique consists of a total of 36 large and small techniques.

10 types of sharp swords corresponding to the attack part.

10 types of swords corresponding to the defense part.

Sea sword type 10 corresponding to the special section.

And there are 6 types of various martial arts, footwork, and breathing techniques that do not use a sword.

This comprehensive skill set of 36 skills is tied into a large framework called ‘Haewoo Sword Technique.’

Just as being good at punching does not mean you are good at fighting, each element is interconnected and all come together to create a synergistic effect.

This is where the concept of ‘proficiency’ comes into play.

‘Proficiency’ refers to the ability to organically connect and understand each separate skill in an integrated manner.

To put it simply:

‘Manatee swordsmanship is like a forest. Detailed technologies are the trees that make up the forest.’

Therefore, I have to wander around this forest diligently.

First, understand the large structure of the forest.

You need to know which trees are planted close to each other.

Only then will we be able to properly utilize the huge forest.

This is why the cumbersome concept of ‘proficiency’ exists.

I was busy leveling up, so worrying about skill proficiency was a very annoying task.

But if there are disadvantages, there are also advantages.

Each time the level of proficiency is met, comprehensive technology advances to a new level.

‘From 0 to 9 stars.’

As the achievement level increases, the character becomes noticeably stronger.

‘As new functional technologies continue to appear, they become stronger than before.’

This was the complete opposite of the fate card, where everything was left to luck.

‘Because the more effort you put in, the stronger you become.’

The people who reached the ultimate in the path of the sword were ‘sword masters’ like Elon Royt.

On the contrary, in the magic world, people such as Emperor Bareshan and the owner of the Five-Colored Spire reigned as ‘magic masters’.

Those who have truly pushed their power to the point of extreme.

…me?

I was at the level of tying my shoelaces at the beginning of this road.

This guy named Gilroshan maintained perfect purity regarding swords and magic as if he had really done nothing.

shit.

What on earth have you been doing for 20 years?

‘If I had played it myself, it wouldn’t have been so unfair.’

In the original < Sin.Verse >, each NPC had a hidden stat called ‘potential’, and the expected value was gradually filled over time.

In that case, I wondered if Gilroshan would also grow as much as his potential as an NPC, but…

‘No. ‘That’s not enough!’

I tried hard to believe that wouldn’t be the case.

This body was a famous bastard even in the empire, and a dungeon itself!

So it was too harsh of me to assume that I would grow to my potential.

‘Actually, I think I’m at a level where I don’t even need to hear the sound of Dunjae anymore.’

Giloshan acquired S-class swordsmanship and C-class destiny.

…purely through my own efforts.

Although we were barely at the starting point, it was a bit strange to even call Gilroshan a bastard anymore.

‘It’s useful now. You can keep growing.’

Well, they said that proficiency means learning the entire swordsmanship.

So what if my growth is slow because I haven’t seen the entirety of Manewoo Sword Technique?

What if the hit point system misses something?

‘It’s something that just needs someone nearby to help.’

Helper NPCs were prepared for that purpose.

Teacher, coach, mentor…

they appear in front of the player in various forms.

If I had been able to smoothly transition into magic, I wouldn’t have had to worry about this.

‘Because there is Tirbaen next to it.’

The seven-star little witch is already with me and has been enough to help me grow.

But now I am not a wizard.

So, I needed another NPC in this position.

An NPC who can advise on sword handling skills and improve sword skills through sparring.

…Carls?

Unfortunately, this guy is impossible.

Currently, Carls is a 6-star imperial knight and is learning 3 sword techniques.

Considering his age, he’s quite an amazing guy, but…

‘Carls’ main skill is the frontier sword technique, and he didn’t even reach 5 stars in quick and soft sword techniques.’

To become a player’s teacher, you must be at least 7 stars.

And the compatibility of technologies should not clash.

‘Of course, Carls will soon reach 7 stars.’

However, that was also limited to sword fighting techniques.

I have a long way to go before I can teach the Haewoo Sword Technique, which is my quick sword technique.

The most effective thing is, of course, to learn from an NPC who primarily uses the Manatee Sword Technique just like me.

‘The problem is that this swordsmanship itself is the swordsmanship of the Baeksun clan from the Eastern Continent.’

Historically, the Baekseon clan fought against the Luxen Kingdom and eventually perished.

So, this manatee sword method is also appearing in a state that is no different from being used in practice.

But…

I knew that the White Shell Clan left very few survivors.

‘Vagabond’s Wharf’ in the southeastern part of the continent.

The surviving members of the Baeksun clan lived there.

‘Among those NPCs, there is one 8-star swordsman.’

He was a somewhat cynical man that I didn’t like, but he also had a gentle spirit.

Now, if you want to properly develop manatee sword techniques, you have no choice but to go there.

‘Still, I’m glad it’s not that far from Aurax.’

As soon as I get the passage after completing this quest, I will go there right away.

“Originally, I was going to get 3 stars in Manewoo Swordsmanship and leave.”

There was no choice but to adjust the goal downward.

‘Let’s at least give it 2 stars.’

…in the next 3 hours!

After confirming that my stamina had fully recovered, I started walking again.

Buk Buk Buk….

‘But is it because there was a sudden schedule change?’

For some reason, my feet feel heavy.

There was nothing particularly wrong with my condition, but somehow my body felt like wet cotton.

what?

* * *

Dense darkness without a single ray of light.

Five sarcophagi lay among the fine sand.

They were all empty coffins with open lids.

However, inside, each and every one of them contained strange presences, slowly but clearly swaying.

Like holy water poured a long time ago.

Or like the deaths that were forgotten after being poured out like that.

They were quietly moving around, guarding the place.

However, one of them suddenly expressed a thought with a clear meaning outside the sarcophagus.

-There is a visitor.

Then, as if trying to determine what he had observed, the red light in the coffin gradually became stronger.

Then the other pipe responded with a blue light.

-Hmm, I see. A young man is coming this way.

Another coffin said in a green tone.

-I’m looking outside for a long time. What kind of guy is this?

The answer to the green question was a golden crown.

-The lineage of the emperor. I feel entitled to the position of power that we passed down in the distant past.

-Oh….

When the lineage and throne appeared, everyone fell into silence as if they were surprised.

But it didn’t last long.

-Well, it’s not like it never happened. You did that sometimes, right?

-that’s right. This place has become so popular that it’s not surprising who comes.

-hmm? Isn’t that what happens in this dimension?

-Aha, really?

Sarcophagi telling stories.

-…Everyone is quiet.

What silenced them was the black coffin occupying the very center.

Surprisingly, the black being inside the sarcophagus stretched its arms into the air and raised itself outward.

The wandering darkness was forming a lump.

-This time, the visitor…

had a human form, but he was a shadow.

However, unlike a shadow, he was showing some emotions.

-Oh, it’s not just anything else.

It was just joy.

-It’s very different. He’s a special guy. Hahaha…

Shadow laughed out loud, showing deep joy.

Then he stood up from the floor and quietly looked back.

-We should prepare a worthy treat for our special guests.

And a cool sound of laughter wrapped around the cavity like a whirlwind.

Hahahaha….
