Chapter 160: 160

Practice, and Practice (3)

The white-silver bull, Uto Ksarik, straddled the lowest floor of the Kaltan.

Ryu Han-bin sneaked close to the divine beast as usual.

However, he moved differently.

He focused his mind, zoning in on his target, and invoked his absolute skill!

-Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth!

Uto Ksarik looked back at Han-bin with its eyes wide open.

The bull’s eyes seemed to ask him what the hell he was doing.

Quickly, Ryu Han-bin opened its information box.

[Race: Divine Beast Lv. 168]

Nothing had changed.

Instead, he spent a lot of Aura for nothing.

“Run, run!”

After fleeing in dismay, Artis shook his head.

“It’s no use?”

“Wait. Let’s do one more experiment.”

Han-bin didn’t get that much injured since he fled before he could use his fighting spirit.

After recovering enough Aura, he immediately went back in for another attempt.

That time, he provoked it, escaped, lured it in, and invoked the skill combined with Valtara’s Fighting Spirit.

-Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth!

Indeed, something was different at that time.

Uto Ksarik was much more excited than usual.

“Grrrr!”

It used to attack his other colleagues alternately in the past, but it became very determined to follow no one else but Ryu Han-bin.

He could hardly escape after repeatedly pretending to be dead and fleeing.

“Oh, my…”

The Templar Lords scolded the half-dead Han-bin.

“You almost actually died this time!”

“If we lose you, everything’s over!”

“Never use it from now on!”

In the end, there was only one effect.

His absolute skill could provoke the divine beast’s nerves tremendously!

“Oh, what the hell is this skill for?”

Ryu Han-bin, gritting his teeth, gave up hope on the Skill of the Absolute: Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth.

Effir suddenly tilted her head.

“By the way, aren’t we in better shape than Han-bin?”

Normally, they would’ve been turned into something close to rags.

But that time, they didn’t become rags. Rather, they were more like dishcloths?

It was because Ryu Han-bin provoked Uto Ksarik in time using his absolute skill.

“In a sense, isn’t that a great skill? It means you can alter the movement of the divine beast, right?”

The Templar Lords’ facial expressions changed.

When Han-bin used the absolute skill combined with Valtara’s Fighting Spirit, Uto Ksarik was forced to return its attention to Ryu Han-bin.

It didn’t matter what the others did next to the bull.

In gaming terms, the aggro it generated was crazy!

Ryu Han-bin murmured with embarrassment.

“What? Is it like a trigger for the divine beasts, then?”

Leon Hart shook his head.

It was the Skill of the Absolute. How could something named so heavily be such a stupid skill?

“That’s not really what it’s for.”

There was a high possibility that it would be an incidental effect.

“Anyway, I can make use enough of what’s been revealed.”

It would allow Ryu Han-bin and other colleagues to rotate their formation safer.

“We got a new balance stick for walking on a tight rope.”

* * *

It was the 72nd day of the mission called ‘Making a Sword King by Rote.’

Ryu Han-bin kept on coming at Uto Ksarik.

He only practiced the Valtara’s Three Swords, improving his Aura operational ability and its precision.

He deliberately tried to avoid certain death without using other swordsmanship techniques and constantly relied on only those skills.

His movements and attacks became more elaborate intensive.

Thanks to that, he could finally dig into the formidable divine beast’s gaps as long as he took a fixed position and executed one of the Valtara’s Three Swords.

His colleagues covered his weaknesses as well.

Han-bin utilized his absolute skill to induce the movement of Uto Ksarik, then repeated hitting and running away through elaborate connections.

In the process, he finally learned how to use the Valtara’s Three Swords naturally.

He was becoming even stronger.

It wasn’t just Ryu Han-bin who was growing either.

One day, Han-bin, while casually looking at his colleagues, clicked his tongue.

“Huh? You’ve all leveled up?”

Artis, who was level 92, had become a level 94 Mage.

Effir, previously a level 94 Magic Swordsman, was at level 96.

“Well, you’ve killed many high-level monsters around here, haven’t you?”

The three of them had to clear the surrounding monsters to create a temporary shelter, allowing them to earn a considerable amount of experience.

It didn’t mean much, though.

Even the levels of the Templar Lords, who didn’t absorb any energy, increased as well.

Everyone’s level went up by 1 or 2.

Even Leon Hart reached level 115.

“What’s up with that? I heard you guys can’t raise your level in a short period.”

The Templar Lords also seemed quite embarrassed.

“We gained a new level?”

“I had a feeling that my body was moving more flexibly than before, but…”

Leon Hart smiled bitterly.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve put our lives on the line.”

They weren’t in the same situation as Ryu Han-bin, who had to constantly battle against the Aura waves of the divine beast, but they still had gone through severe battles.

Due to the special training, his skills had improved considerably.

It didn’t mean that their odds had risen significantly.

One or two levels wouldn’t have that much of an effect on the outcome.

“But it has a big enough effect with regards to life and death.”

Delighted, Han-bin and his party became even more determined in the battles against the divine beast.

With hope, they gain more motivation.

They repeatedly fought, escaped, and rested every day.

And each day passed with good results.

In that way, more than 100 days had passed.

* * *

A large square surrounded by collapsed buildings on all sides.

In the middle of it, a silver divine beast burst into a roar.

“Grrrr!”

Looking at the bull, Ryu Han-bin grabbed his Gigant.

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.}

Uto Ksarik was focused on attacking his colleagues.

Everyone was avoiding it, but it was obvious that they wouldn’t last long.

After activating his Valtara’s Fighting Spirit, Han-bin immediately provoked the divine beast.

-Skill of the Absolute: Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth!

He still didn’t know what its original purpose was, but the provocative effect it had was great.

“Mooo!”

Even though it would allow its prey to escape, Uto Ksarik turned around and immediately charged towards Ryu Han-bin.

With his whole body dyed with black and red due to his blood and Aura, Han-bin also launched himself forward.

“Yes! Come at me!”

He perfectly controlled the flow of his fighting spirit and executed multiple offensive tactics.

Ryu Han-bin’s eyes become more and more transparent while repeating attacks and evasions.

‘This is…?’

He felt something different from usual.

Swinging his sword and moving his physique had never felt so natural.

The boundary between him and the sword disappeared, and the same could be said for his body and Aura. The distinction between him and his opponent became blurred as well.

The only thing that existed at that moment was flow and energy.

He moved with the flow and stretched out his sword in accordance with his energy.

‘I see, this is…’

Han-bin was certain.

He didn’t know anything about the high-dimensional story of a spiritual state of perfect selflessness, but at least one thing was sure.

That was the level of enlightenment Leon Hart had demanded. It was the completion of the Valtara’s Three Swords.

‘Then today is the day…’

Pulling out his fighting spirit, he clenched his teeth.

‘that I’ll take an arm from you!’

Of course, he would have to run away after that.

If the divine beast became serious, they wouldn’t even be able to escape.

“Taaaaaa!”

Han-bin avoided its Blade Aura and dug near the divine beast’s feet, then used Gigant to deliver a red flash.

-Valtara’s Cross!

The Crosscut using the Valtara’s Fighting Spirit as a foundation was executed, targetting Uto Ksarik’s waist.

As soon as Uto Ksarik quickly raised its weapons to block it, Vertical Cuts continued to engrave the bloody cross.

-Valtara’s Hack!

He then delivered a sharp blow to its center.

– Valtara’s Pierce!

The red storm converged into a single point and turned into the incarnation of destruction.

The cross-section that separated the world overlapped with Uto Ksarik’s right arm.

-Triple Cross Attack, Cross Impact!

Han-bin was delighted to complete his skills.

‘That’s it!’

Even though he felt it himself, he still couldn’t believe that his swordsmanship techniques had reached perfection.

At that moment…

[The conditions have been met. The effect of ‘The Skill of the Absolute: Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth’ has been activated.]

At the same time, the Guideline displayed messages arbitrarily.

[Race: Divine Beast Lv. 148]

The bull’s eyes grew bigger for a moment.

Unhidden astonishment flowed over it.

“Urgh?”

Its three-meter-long swords broke in half with a heavy explosion.

His huge forearm, which its Aura was protecting, flew into the air, spraying silver blood.

Its thick chest covered with silver fur was split immediately afterward.

Bam!

Waterfalls of blood and terrible screams soared into the sky of the ruins.

“Arghhh!”

* * *

The blood that burst like a fountain from the giant divine beast’s chest was akin to a silver rain.

Ryu Han-bin stood dazed while exposed to its silver blood.

“…”

He couldn’t grasp the situation well.

‘So… I’ve broken the heart of Uto Ksarik… with my sword?’

As soon as Uto Ksarik stopped breathing, a message popped up.

[Lv. 168 Divine Beast has been slain. You have gained 63,235,464,000 experience points.」

[Current Experience points: 67,921,680,200/98,171,466,200.]

The bull was so powerful it was called one of the Three Gods of Kaltan.

That one beast filled 70 percent of his experience requirements.

But Han-bin didn’t care.

He had no time to care.

“What the hell did I… What did I just do?”

The Guideline, which used to show nothing but error messages, finally popped up a normal sentence for once.

[Lord Throughout Heaven and Earth: If all life is dignified, and all human beings’ existence is valuable, then there would be no distinction between supernatural creatures and mortal ones. If so, a divine being won’t be recognized for its divine power.]

[Acquisition Condition: Total amount of Aura: 1,400]

[Activation Condition: Aura Concentration: 2,900]

At that moment, he laughed in vain.

“What? You somehow got the description right.”

The interpretation was still arbitrary.

Regardless, he already understood just by the description alone.

“… So, my level has lowered Uto Ksarik’s divine power, is that it?”

Meanwhile, his colleagues finally arrived at the scene.

Artis and Effir looked at the divine beast’s dead body and Han-bin with frightened faces.

“Hey, hey, Han-bin?”

“What did you do now?”

The Templar Lords were in a similar state.

“Did you just kill Uto Ksarik?”

“How the hell could you do such a feat with your level?”

Everyone looked like they had just seen a ghost.

No, Latnains didn’t consider ghosts as scary, so it would be more proper to describe their expression as if they had seen the ‘souls of the dead.’

“I’m still a little dazed, but…”

Shaking his head, Han-bin recalled what happened calmly.

Leon Hart nodded when he heard the explanation.

“I see. I’ll have to check the details later, but…”

At least one thing was certain.

From that moment on, Ryu Han-bin had become strong enough to fight the Transcendental!

“Oh, by the way, you’ve grown more than we expected.”

Looking back at everyone, Leon Hart went off in excitement.

“It’s time to get back to the overworld, folks.”

Palmer shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the fallen Uto Ksarik.

“We have to retrieve its Spirit Stone before we go back. I can’t even estimate how valuable the Spirit Stone of a divine beast would be.”
