49 – Risking Your Life

-It’s a job.

A low, damp voice flowed from the crystal ball for communication. A pink-haired woman sipping her solo drink in the middle of a bar full of decadent atmosphere raises her head with a tearing smile.

“It’s been a while. After all, people have to work and live. Surely, it’s not like the harp that only children can play, right?”

-The goal is B-class accessories. The opponent is the daughter of the Swordhorn family.

The daughter of the Swordhorn family, Arsha Swordhorn.

That name was famous throughout the capital. This is because the royal capital is one of the futures of the kingdom that newspapers highlight every day. If you are bored, you will be listed in a magazine as the leading actor of the golden generation of the academy. Of course, word of mouth is also huge.

“Arsha Sword Horn? Why did the son of such a noble family come here? Ah. She must have come to appraise an item.”

– Keep that in mind. The opponent is the Swordhorn family. Failure is not tolerated.

“Do you think I will be beaten by a bastard like that? She claims to be the future of the royal capital, but in the end, she’s just a kid with no blood on her head.”

-Carelessness is prohibited.

“Yes, yes, this side will take care of it.”

The voice inside the crystal ball didn’t get angry even though he answered in a calm manner. This is because he knows the skill of ‘cassowary’ well. True to her words, Rachel is no match for a kid who just entered the academy.

“hahahaha. It will be fun for a long time Guys, stop drinking. It’s office hours.”

Rachel jumped out of her seat and stood up, she said. Then, the subordinates who had been drinking Tangja Tangja stood up all at once.

“hahahaha. Sister! My body was still itching.”

“The daughter of the Swordhorn family. It will be delicious, right?”

“Sure, then. A child of a noble family is not a child of a noble family for nothing.”

“Let’s all get tools!”

The atmosphere in the bar heated up in an instant. As if sympathizing with that atmosphere, the voice inside the crystal ball continued.

-The location is in front of Vinkel’s appraisal center. Hurry up.

So they stormed out of the pub with great momentum. Without foreseeing their fate behind this at all.

“Hey. Stay close to me!”

Arsha said that as she narrowed her brows. Feeling like Arsha’s little hamster.

Not a bad feeling.

“That beach b*tch. Especially dangerous.”

Arsha’s eyes are on Rachel. Looking at Arsha, whose eyes twinkle and boost her spirits, it seems that she used a [Characteristic].

Characteristics of Arsha Swordhorn, 「Hunter’s Legacy」

「Hunter’s Legacy」 (Class B)

[Raising the senses, activating the ‘searching’ ability. While the ‘Search’ ability is active, you are immune to ‘Confusion’ and ‘Illusion’ status ailments. In addition, while activating the attribute, you can use the ‘Vital Spot Detection’ skill once. Attribute activation has a cooldown of 24 hours and consumes mana every second.

: Skills or normal attacks ignore 100% of the opponent’s physical defense. When the critical hit effect is activated, the power of the attack increases by 100%.]

B-class attribute [Hunter’s Legacy] Has two effects.

The first effect is immunity to abnormal conditions.

It is only immune to limited status ailments such as ‘confusion’ and ‘illusion’, but the immunity effect itself is quite rare in the legend route, so it is highly evaluated. It’s a bit disappointing in the second half, but until the middle, this alone is enough for the price of a meal.

The second effect is the special skill, ‘Vital Spot Detection’.

As much as it can ignore 100% of the opponent’s physical defense for only one time, it is a skill that demonstrates tremendous efficiency in battles against bosses. In particular, there is a one-punch man build that fits a lot of critical strike settings thanks to the terrifying effect of doubling the power of critical strikes. By the way, the reason I’m aiming for Arsha’s characteristics is because of this.

“Whoa!”

Arsha took a deep breath.

Before she can exhale, her body rushes forward rapidly. It’s going to be a precedent.

“Oh my gosh, I’m scared~”

Rachel brandishes her whip as she teases her in a playful voice.

A hot flame rises from the tip of her whip. It’s as if red feathers were tightly embedded in her whip.

“This unnie likes hot things~ It might be hot.”

“Perverted b*tch… !”

A blue sword soars toward Rachel. Arsha presses Rachel’s front at high speed.

The jewel of the academy is a fast and powerful attack worthy of the evaluation. It can be called Tal-Academy level.

However, Rachel’s counterattack is unusual. Her whip, lightly swung, wraps around Rachel like a ribbon. The flames that rose with a ‘fire!’ Form a protective film around her body.

‘Rachel’s defense skill, Burning Shield.’

“You bastard, search!”

While watching Arsha’s fight, Black Rose’s henchman raised a sharp sword and charged at me from behind her. She was vigilant and alert, so she lightly let go of the guy’s attack and hit her neck with the back of her hand.

“Keck!”

“Guys. Don’t touch that handsome kid over there. It’s mine~ You don’t want to be scolded by me, do you?”

Rachel smiled and said that. Then, Black Rose’s other henchmen who were waiting for her attack shrank her body.

‘He’s quite careless.’

This is also similar to the original.

Chang! Visor! Visor! Visor!

Arsha pierces with a sharp stab, and Rachel blocks it with leisurely movements.

Although it was Arsha who took the lead with her onslaught, Rachel countered Arsha with her unwavering and stable defense.

“hehehe. Also sister! He’s just a kid saying he’s a promising academy. She can’t be your sister’s opponent.”

It seems that the black rose’s henchmen also felt with their bodies which direction the atmosphere was flowing. I swung the dagger at my waist toward them.

“eee! You bastard! My sister told me to leave it alone, so I watched it, and it climbed up.”

“This is self-defense! Search!”

They are the guys who started counterattacking after turning their heads, but the difference between my abilities and the black rose janitors is extreme. In the first place, the training was so solid that I couldn’t compete with anyone other than an executive level like ‘cassowary’ or ‘white knight’.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

I didn’t mix skills, and I pushed out 5 junkies with only normal hits.

“Wow! That kid! Not normal. Be careful!”

“Sister! Can you help me with this!?”

They immediately lowered their tails and sent an SOS to Rachel. Seeing that, Rachel shrugged her shoulders and sighed.

“That kind of thing is also a subordinate…. I’m going to get scolded after this.”

Rachel’s words turned their faces into blank pages. Rachel seems scarier than me.

“Don’t ignore me! Your opponent is this way!”

Arsha’s momentum instantly rose explosively. The blue mana coated on the sword shines more clearly.

‘You activated the accessory.’

Arsha’s pendant, ‘Knight’s Promise’ has an additional effect of Strength +5. He used it to instantly increase his attack output. It is a wise decision.

“Wow!?”

The first crack appeared on Rachel’s face, who had been passing Arsha’s attacks with ease all along. At that moment, I used the skill.

‘Haste.’

[Level 3]: Temporarily increases agility by strengthening the body with mana. The duration of the skill is proportional to the agility level, and the increasing agility level is proportional to the luck level.

Cooldown: 5 minutes

Pump up agility with Haste, and move towards Rachel. Turns a 1v1 match into a 2v1 in an instant.

“It’s not just the face that’s handsome. The rest of the talent is quite good~”

However, Rachel did not lose her composure. The reason appeared the very next moment.

Hwareuru—!

A pair of wings that bloomed behind Rachel’s back.

Red wings, each feather made of glowing flames, rise from behind Rachel’s back. Her nickname is ‘cassowary’ because of that.

“I didn’t know that this older sister could use [Characteristics] Here~”

Rachel’s trait is 「Cassowary wings」

The effect is bonus damage and dot deal for the fire attribute applied while the attribute is active, and an outstanding defense skill.

In line with Arsha’s sword, which stretched out in a straight line, Rachel’s wings closed inside like a shell.

The tremendous heat created by the red wings covers its body. Melee attacking against that defensive mode is a risky move. First of all, it is standard to step back and spill the opponent’s defense skills. Just as she was about to give Arsha advice, her body moved like lightning.

“Ehh!?”

A voice that raises questions about misguided expectations.

The main character of that voice was Rachel, not Arsha.

From noble mtl dot com

Without hesitation, Arsha leaped forward and stabbed her sharp sword toward her wing. Arsha’s blue mana-covered sword pierces the red wings.

The waves of flame scorched Arsha’s hair, but Arsha didn’t care and went straight ahead. There was not the slightest hint of fear on her face.

Arsha stabs her sword, not caring that her body is scorched by the dancing flames.

Even I was taken aback by her sudden action.

‘What is it?’

Arsha’s sword pierced Rachel’s wings and stabbed her in the abdomen.

This is an impossible result with normal attacks. There was only one reason why this was possible, Arsha included the ‘vital spot detection’ skill in her last attack.

“Kyaaah!!!”

Screams like breaking glass echo in all directions. Rachel, the main character of the scream, tilts her body.

“Haa… ! Ha… ! Ha… !”

Arsha’s body isn’t healthy either. Arsha, seriously injured in both of her hands, gets down on her one knee and breathes heavily. Her top is completely tanned and it’s embarrassing to look at.

“Ms. Arsha….”

“Haa…. John. Run away…. I don’t know if someone else will come.”

The fight between Arsha and Rachel.

The result was, surprisingly, Arsha’s victory. I barely intervened.

This is the result of me trying to cook Rachel as a strategy.

‘Why?’

Unexpected situation even for me, a deceased person.

In my head, I thought about why this happened. There are three reasons for the victory that immediately come to mind.

The first is, of course, Rachel’s carelessness.

As portrayed in the original game, Rachel has the personality typical of an arrogant villain. Inattentiveness is a trait that can be harmful to a fight, but never beneficial. If Rachel had done her best, there was a high possibility that the result would have been the opposite.

The second is the difference in [Characteristics] Between Arsha and Rachel.

Arsha’s ‘vital detection’ counters Rachel’s ‘cassowary wing’ head-on. Rachel, who firmly believed in the defensive power of her Cassowary Wings, took a hit here.

However, this alone cannot be explained. Even if it is superior in characteristics, it is not so easy to catch Rachel with Arsha in the game. It’s because it’s not easy to approach Rachel.

The last reason Arsha caught Rachel.

That’s because she attacked ‘without a back’.

A fatal blow that literally ignored her life.

In terms of a game, it was betting everything on the chance of a critical hit and betting on a hit of the soul. In the first place, this fight is not a realm of calculation, so even the deceased cannot predict the outcome.

“Ms. Arsha. Why so far….”

“You idiot…. Because it bounces fast Maybe someone else will come….”

Jerebuck!

The sound of heavy armored footsteps can be heard as soon as Arsha finishes his words.

“I won. I came here once because it was said that it was a B-grade accessory. Cassowary guy. Did you get hurt? I’m so embarrassed I can’t even carry my face.”

A grave voice, completely different from Rachel’s, comes from behind. The main character of the voice is the ‘White Knight’ Ivan Flome, another boss of the Black Rose event.

Originally, the boss that appears in the Black Rose event is one of two.

This situation is also different from the original.

‘Yes. This world is not a game.’

That fact comes to mind again.

“Brother! That son of the Swordhorn family, this is no joke! My sister was beaten!”

“Please punish me!”

“I’m going to mess with boys too!”

Leaving behind the remnants of the noisy black rose, I grabbed the dagger.

“Ivan Flome.”

“Huh? Do you know me You seem to be a student, but your intelligence is quite good.”

“I’ll finish it in one minute.”

This is no joke. Seriously.

The crystal ball rang. Perhaps, it is a report that the work has been completed. He injected mana into the crystal ball.

‘B grade accessories…. That’s enough for me to use myself rather than sell them. The movements of the guards are unusual, so prepare….’

– Boss! Big deal! Both my brother and my sister got hit!!!
