Chapter 135: Sword Master and Rust Monster
Sword Saint Japar, Gong Qiying had heard of this man.
The first time I heard this name was after the rampage in the Sean dungeon. I heard from the guild that Leon received training from the other party, so his strength improved by leaps and bounds and he even defeated the incarnation of Soul Five.
But Gong Qiying felt that Leon's victory over the incarnation was mainly due to his invincible Swift Slash and Snack Marathon. That battle did not reflect his growth in hard power.
By the way, I haven’t seen Leon for a long time. Where did this guy go? Does he have another dungeon in mind?
The second time I heard the name of Sword Saint Japar was two days ago. He appeared with the professors of the Magic Association and made a big appearance at the end of the Battle of Val City.
The people of Bed City were excited. It was the first time they saw such a powerful figure, the legendary Sword Saint!
Count Charon went to visit Gapar in a hurry, but to his surprise, Gapar had disappeared long ago.
Now I realize that I have run to the Sen dungeon.
"I don't know when he came in. He has been busy doing other things during this period." A person's energy is indeed limited. Gong Qiying pinched his brows and paid attention to Gapar's battle.
He is very likely to be a T1-level fighter in this world, so he needs to be observed.
Fortress of Flanders.
I don't know what technology Japar used, but he was able to stand above the swamp without being stained by any filth.
He was surrounded by violent Gollums, and several Gollum elders were casting magic. It was already a very dangerous situation.
Just seeing that he had a way to avoid the cesspool made Gong Qiying feel that this man was a formidable enemy.
Sword Master! My poison pool is so amazing, why are you hiding?
Seeing that Elder Gollum's magic was about to fly in front of him and the violent Gollum was about to rush forward, Japar moved.
He drew out his sword. Unlike the straight swords used by most people, the blade of that sword was thin and long, like an ordinary straight sword stretched out. At a glance, one would think it was a katana, but it was actually double-edged.
Japar took a step forward, and a circular aura quickly expanded with him as the center, covering all the monsters present in the blink of an eye.
With an ordinary sword swing, the Gollum who was closest to him was beheaded immediately. At this time, other monsters had already pounced in front of him, and there was no way to dodge at this distance!
A magical thing happened. The next second, all the monsters enveloped in the circle were slashed.
The positions of the slashes were not fixed. Some cut off arms, some cut off legs and feet, and some chopped down vertically. Even Elder Gollum's magic was cut off by a sword and dissipated in the air.
More than a dozen monsters fell in an instant, and the Sword Master completed a group annihilation.
A few drops of water dripped from the blade to wash away the blood stains. Japar quickly shook off the weapon, sheathed it, and walked forward.
Is your sword called Murasame? Gong Qiying complained.
I don't know whether that "circle" is a combat skill, magic, or a unique talent, but it looks very powerful. It seems that the effect is that the slash will cover all creatures within the circle?
I didn't see how sophisticated the Sword Master's martial arts were, I only saw the pure mechanism and numbers.
Japar continued to move forward, and whenever he encountered a monster, he would kill it with one strike. If the number of monsters besieging him exceeded ten digits, he would use the "circle" technique to ensure a smooth journey.
Gong Qiying threw the soul-sucking ghost down in advance, and a fierce battle broke out as soon as the two met.
It took Japar four moves before he finally killed the soul-sucking ghost with his sword.
"Fortunately, not all of them were killed in one blow."
Gong Qiying gradually increased the level of the monsters he released, starting from level D and capping it at C+. He alternated between non-humanoid and humanoid monsters, basically not giving the opponent any chance to rest.
It is obvious that Gapar is more powerful when facing humanoid enemies. He can even use his sword to perform a technique similar to parrying. Ordinary Furnace Knights are powerless in front of him.
It is indeed a melting pot of weak bullets and counterattacks.
But after replacing the Crucible Knight with other humanoid enemies of the same level but not so weak to counterattacks, Japar often has to fight for dozens of rounds and use all his strength to win.
It seems that although the Sword Master is strong, he is not so strong as to be brainless.
As for the non-human monsters, he would always chop them here and there, and only after finding their weakness would he burst out and defeat the enemy with one move.
No matter how violent or slow the attack of the non-human monster he faced was, he never retreated or avoided, but used his sword to block the attack the whole time. The long sword that looked like it would break at any bend could actually block the huge beast's claws. His skills were truly amazing.
This also revealed one of his... should it be called a quirk or a characteristic? He seemed too lazy to avoid the monsters' attacks.
Even if he wanted to dodge, he would just move slightly. I've never seen him dodge with a big movement like rolling over.
Is it that these monsters are not strong enough for him to dodge? Or is he the kind of tough guy who swears not to dodge attacks that only appears in Japanese comics?
That shouldn't be the case. He would also dodge the Soul Sucker's throwing techniques.
But he was too lazy to dodge the attacks of the Gollums. He could even pull them off when his hair was being washed. The sharp teeth and claws of the monsters could only leave white marks on his body.
The case was solved. He relied on his strong body to withstand those weak attacks.
As expected, Japar’s martial arts are also very strong, with both good numbers and techniques. Is there no way to defeat him?
Japar continued to move forward. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to pass the level, but was slowly licking the map.
The monsters were killed in batches, but this was nothing to Gong Qiying. The mental power released by Japar during the battle was enough to offset the cost of killing the monsters.
What made Gong Qiying uncomfortable was that until now, Japar still had a blank expression on his face, as if nothing in the dungeon aroused his interest.
This is undoubtedly the ultimate insult to the people who design dungeons.
"Whatever it is, I have to make this guy's expression change a little bit."
He watched for a while and found that Japar always took the trouble to clean the blade after killing monsters. It was obvious that he was a sword lover.
Gong Qiying tapped the [Available Monsters] button with his finger, then stared at the crystal ball and made the same move as Commander Ikari, with a serious expression.
So, after walking for a while, Japar suddenly encountered a group of monsters he had never seen before.
It looked like a group of insects, but each one was bigger than a human, with two long tentacles like feathers.
[Rust Monster]
This is a monster that feeds on the heat emitted when metal oxidizes. When a weapon hits them, the rusting process will be accelerated.
The tentacles of the rust monsters can greatly accelerate the rate of rusting. For melee professions, these monsters are a big trouble.
Of course, Rust Monsters are not native monsters, and local adventurers know nothing about them.
Japar had heard that the Senn Dungeon produced new monsters that had never been seen before, so he was no longer surprised.
"There's new blood to make you happy," Japar stroked the slender blade, his eyes as if he was looking at a comrade.
Although he wanted to become a magician, he still loved the weapons that accompanied him in battle.
This sword is considered a fine piece among his many weapon collections. It has no enchantments or anything, but it can automatically clean blood stains, which is really convenient.
He likes it very much.
Watching the rust monsters rushing forward, Japar used "Circle" again and slashed with his sword!
The so-called circle, in his words, is called "cutting off the field", which is his innate unique talent.
It can be regarded as an alternative space magic. Under the effect of the cutting field, when Japar slashes with his sword, his sword will fall on all the monsters in the field after a time difference of one second.
It is equivalent to chopping everyone with a sword at the same time, which is a physical attack.
“Puff!”
A rust monster had its body cut off, and a second later, all the rust monsters were killed.
We all know that when a weapon comes into contact with the body of a rust monster, rust has already begun, and each additional contact will cause the rust to become more severe.
What if the weapon comes into contact with a group of Rust Monsters at the same time?
A large number of rust monsters fell down with a crash. Japar admired his masterpiece with satisfaction and was about to shake off the blood on the sword.
Hey, why does it feel so light in my hand?
Looking down, he saw that only the wooden hilt of the sword was left in his hand.
The sword blade is gone!
Japar is down.
He was like a motionless statue, staring at the hilt of the sword for a long time. Even when a group of Gollums ran up to him, he did not react.
When he finally realized what was happening, his face turned visibly red, or Hong Wen for short.
Me and my sword.
Japar showed a dejected look, and finally stopped looking expressionless.
This is the expression I want to see! Gong Qiying was very satisfied, and felt that his dry body was full of energy.
The spiritual power emitted by the Sword Master was surging, enough to kill several adventurers, and it was still rising rapidly.
The Gollums surrounded him and called out hoarsely, but due to the powerful aura, none of them dared to come forward.
Japar suddenly glared at the Gollums, who were startled because their hair stood up in anger, like an old lion that had been aroused with rage.
"I, I"
He slapped Gulu's head and could no longer maintain his previous nonchalant attitude. He roared:
"I'll blast you all away!"
So, Gong Qiying saw that the angry sword master suddenly turned into a boxing champion, and kept beating people with his fists as big as sandbags.
He was so angry that he didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He stepped directly into the swamp and sacrificed his weapon with his fist!
Strange, why is the swamp's poison ineffective on him?
The monsters rushed towards him as if they had received instructions. Japar became more and more courageous as the battle went on. In anger, he did not dodge the attacks at all and killed each monster with one punch.
The consequence of not dodging was that scars began to appear on his body, and it turned out that his defense could be breached.
However, there are some monsters that can accumulate abnormal effects. Whether it is poison, freezing, burns or something else, they are ineffective against him.
"Immune to abnormal status?"
Gong Qiying just lowered his head to look for other monsters to throw up to test, and when he raised his head again, he suddenly found out -
Hey, why is Japar lying on the ground?
Upon closer inspection, one could see something like black thorns coming out of his body, and all kinds of mosquitoes and insects were flying around him.
Such a familiar special effect, isn’t this a death curse?
Next to Japar's body, several curse frogs were happily sticking out their tongues.
This time even Gong Qiying was stunned.
How could such a powerful swordsman die like this?
Could it be that this guy is immune to abnormal status, but
Not immune to abnormal conditions such as the death curse that do not exist in the native world?
