Gift: [Strength]
Rating: C+

– By using mana, you can temporarily amplify your strength.
– If the muscle strength is below a certain level (C). Strength increases by one level.
! Temporary amplification cannot exceed ‘Gyeong’.
The two gifts copied from Deuka are very intuitive gifts.
Still, it would be nice to try it once.
Currently used [Space (A-)] Is replaced with [Strong (C+)].
Gifts once copied don’t disappear, so it’s nice to be able to try them out casually.
[Muscle strength goes up a notch! (C- ▶ C)
As soon as you change it, you will feel as if your whole body is filled with energy.
It’s not just 1 or 2, it’s a rise enough to change ranks at once.
You’ll feel that way even more.
‘Then, now…. Shall we take a look at Girard? Even if I look at Nis and Duka any further, I can only see Yang Hak’
Nice’s dagger dropped the warrior’s neck, and Deuka’s javelin exploded the warrior with his entire body behind.
I turned my sight to Girard.
Honestly, the two people in front were amazing. Aside from his personality, his skills were expected to some extent…….
“Ha!”
Suddenly!
Girard’s refined longsword cut through the goblin’s body.
When the goblin is knocked down by the sword, and the goblins around rush at Girard.
“Kiik!”
“Suck!”
Hwiik-
Girard jumped backwards to avoid it.
“Ha!”
Suddenly!
Swing the sword again.
Girard continued to repeat such actions while dealing with the goblins.
“……Something. It’s a bit boring…”
No, it’s not that I can’t fight…….
Ah, should I say it’s a little clumsy, or should I say it’s normal.
At least, it’s not a warrior move that can use mana against goblins.
The physical abilities of goblins are slightly inferior to that of a normal adult male. In terms of numbers, 7-8? About.
If it’s the body ability using rigid body technique, even if you attack more aggressively, you won’t get hurt by the goblins.
Even if it was Girard wearing high-quality greaves.
The level of perfection of swordsmanship seems quite high, but is it because he has a
Swordsmanship genius? In my opinion, the connection is a little bit disconnected.
The level of swordsmanship is about level 3? It seems that much.
Anyway, the conclusion I came to after watching Girard fight…….
He is a ‘brother’ who seems to have only practiced swordsmanship in his family and only experienced actual combat in a very safe state.
…… Come to think of it, that guy said he broke the 4th level in the 1st exam….
I came out much later than Nis, who also broke level 4, and Duka, who broke level 6.
If you fought like that, you’d have to.
But it was only for a moment that Girard could fight like that.
The goblin shaman and archers, who had memorized their spells, launched a crossfire at Girard.
Shh shush-!
Fire-!
Fireballs and arrows fired at Girard.
Girard flinched briefly. Enchanting the epaulettes on his shoulders, he leaned forward and shouted an incantation.
“…Kuuu! Block it! Wind barrier!”
Paaat-
At the top of the epaulet that absorbed mana, a magic circle floated up. A wide wall of winds rose up to five meters in length.
Kwaang-!
Patter-
The shaman’s fireball is blocked by the wall of wind and explodes, and the arrow that was flying along with it loses its power and falls in the aftermath of the explosion.
Ziying-
As soon as the magic circle appeared, the observation eye interpreted its contents.
‘…… A wind-based anti-physical barrier. It’s only for an instant, but is it wind-type barrier magic that can instantly stop an oncoming carriage?’
Diring!
[I observed ‘Wind Magic: Wind Wall’!]
[Learn ”!]
[Attribute: Due to the , The skill level of Starts at LV4!]
As a message popped up on one side of my field of vision that I had learned a new type of magic, the basics of how to use Came to mind.
Girard, who blocked the attack with a wind wall, pointed the gauntlet in his left hand at the shaman.
“An arrow of the wind! Pierce the enemy!”
Wheein!
As Girard uttered the incantation, the wind swirled and the arrows flew at high speed.
“Kikik…?”
But maybe I was aiming wrong, the wind arrows flew over the heads of the goblins.
Question marks appear on the faces of the goblins. The moment a laugh is about to come to mind….
Hwiririk- Peruk!
“Queek…?!”
An arrow that flew upwards from the shield soldier, pierced the shaman’s head as it rapidly bent downward.
It seems that the wind arrow itself has some degree of induction.
When I saw that scene, I was dumbfounded and even angry.
‘… That bastard, did you come up as a temp?!’
A piece of equipment engraved with the magic used by Girard.
I understand that ‘magic imprinted items’ are very expensive equipment even though the magic disappears after a few uses.
No matter how cheap the equipment is, it is an expensive item that requires at least 10 gold.
The higher the level of enchantment, the higher the level of materials used, so the price increases exponentially.
Usually, merchants’ emergency self-defense items, or equipment prepared by warriors who can’t use magic just in case, is impractical for everyday use.
Girard wore it all over his body.
If you look closely with your observation eye, magic is engraved on each greaves. The number is 4.
Seeing that all of them are wind-type magic, Girard’s proper attribute must be the wind attribute.
Because magic engraving equipment works properly only when it has the same attributes as the magic engraving.
For some reason, I thought my sword skills were clumsy and I was very self-sacrificing, considering that I had broken level 4. He came up because he was beaten with money.
‘… Are you ignoring me on that subject? Really? The more I think about it, the more absurd it is, isn’t this?!’
No, even a guy like that must have learned at least the skill of family transmission. Let’s take a closer look.
Ding-
As Gerard’s mana circulates through his body, strange waves are created.
The goblins hit by that wave turned their eyes away and didn’t care about the ranks, and rushed back and forth at Gerard.
… I think I’ve seen that too recently.
[Function: Observe !]
[Failed to meet the acquisition condition (Bloodline)!]
[Observe [Gift: [Taunt]]
[‘Cheongbyeon’ tries to copy ‘[Taunt (E)]’!]
[Copy succeeded!]
… After all, it is almost the same ability as the current defense protection crystal.
At this level of effect, is it about 1.5 Times that of the crystal in the center?
Unless it’s a monster with low intelligence or a person with weak patience, the strength is a bit annoying.
‘…… It’s useless.’
At this level, it would be more effective for me, who has , To use dark magic.
…… No wait. Wouldn’t the effect be much better if you use the provocation gift and dark magic at once?
“…Kuh, about low-level monsters!!!”
Keep interesting thoughts out of your head.
I decided to go and help Girard, who was struggling to catch the goblins over there.
Looks like I forgot everything that could be skipped.
Tadadak-
Activate strong body and run to the north gate.
The speed is almost twice as fast as the maximum speed I have run so far.
And here, focus on the rigid body technique towards the legs.
Paba Park-
[Acquire ”!]
[Attribute: Due to , The skill level of Starts at LV4!]
A system message pops up, and the concentrated magic power in your legs makes you hit the ground more vigorously.
The speed is faster.
‘A little bit faster… !’
The moment you kick your feet without being satisfied here.
It releases magical energy from the soles of its feet and accelerates even more.
Quaaa-
[Acquire ”!]
[Attribute: Due to the , The mastery of Starts at LV4!]
The feeling of jumping over dozens of steps in one step.
The sight is full of hideous faces of goblins.
Without stopping. For every step, one slash is fired.
Seokkeol-Seokkeol-
Ki, Ik-!!!
Sword strikes are uninterrupted like flowing water, and there is no one to stop my steps.
In a straight line, run through the goblins. Cut down everything that blocks your way, and cut the enemy boss in two.
“Hmm…”
Poof-
Shake off the sword that cut the enemy and remove the blood. Tucked into the waistband, I turned to Girard.
What came to Girard’s face as he turned around…….
“……How!!”
The denial of not being able to believe that the existence he was ignoring was much stronger than he was.
He felt contempt for being helped by me (commoners), who believed that he was an aristocrat superior to commoners.
And the ugly jealousy that covered it all.
“—How about a commoner like you-“
“Nyaang-♪ I thought I would be the first to come to help, but Seon-woo is also pretty good-nya♪”
“…Um”
The thing that stopped Girard from pouring out low feelings on me.
Nice approached gently with a smile, and Deuka nodded silently, agreeing with Nis’s words.
“…Sigh”
Girard lowered his head and gnashed his teeth quietly.
When I raised my head again, I was back with a smile on my face.
“…Ah, ahahahaha. I was the last one, so everyone came to help me. Thank you. Mr. Seonwoo…”
“No, well. I was the first to finish. Even though I’m still, it’s a bit boring.”
“……”
For Girard, who desperately pretends to be polite, stab him with a single word.
There are cracks here and there on his smiling face, and he is shaken enough to see ugly emotions overflowing.
Girard, barely holding back, kept his mouth shut. He turned and walked towards the wall.
I also had a brief chat with Nis and Duka and followed him.
Keep a close eye on Girard as he silently walks away with his back to us…….
‘…… It will explode around the next wave.’
