211. Hidden Boss (2)
It was a completely different atmosphere from what I had imagined.
He was said to be an adventurer in the East, so I thought he would have worn a hanbok or a cheongsam, but he wasn’t.
The armor he wore was imperial plate armor. The same goes for pitching.
The silver armor stared at me and Arthur. Then he asked in a gentle voice.
“Who are you?”
In addition, he used the imperial language skillfully. Arthur was the first to speak.
“Are you an eastern adventurer?”
“I have a nickname like that.”
“I am here to challenge you.”
“challenge… ? Are you all challenging the old me?”
But it wasn’t a dislike. Hearing his voice, it definitely sounded like that of a middle-aged man.
“I have an illusion barrier.”
Eventually, Arthur explained about the fantasy barrier. Even if they died or were injured within the barrier, it didn’t matter at all to the real people.
It was literally a virtual space, and the people who entered the barrier could do their best to face each other.
The man hit the shoulder with an axe. He seemed to be thinking for a while.
“Where do you open that fantasy barrier? I want to try it somewhere.”
The silver armor once confirmed the barrier’s driving method.
The silver armor burst into laughter only after coming out of the barrier and confirming that there were no wounds.
“I’ve been adventuring for quite a while, but this is the first time I’ve seen a barrier like this.”
“So will you accept our challenge?”
“Good. Where should I unwind after a long time?”
“thank you. Then I will open the barrier.”
Arthur soon opened an illusion barrier.
Even after entering the barrier, the man was relaxed. The man with the dangling battle ax asked me and Arthur.
“Who are you going to challenge? It doesn’t matter if the two attack at once.”
It was great confidence.
Are you dealing with both at the same time? It seemed that he didn’t know exactly who Arthur and I were.
No matter how you look at it, Arthur saved the world by catching the demon king.
Well, it was a rural village with little contact with the outside world.
Is it because he’s full of confidence because he’s a hidden boss?
Depending on the game, there were cases where the hidden boss was stronger than the final boss.
I didn’t read the side story, so I had no idea how strong the hidden boss was.
“Then, at once… .”
I tried to say that I will challenge myself at once. However, Arthur struck first.
“I will challenge one by one.”
I wanted to have a two-on-one multi-gulppang, but Arthur, like a good protagonist, suggested a one-on-one match.
“Yes, I will challenge you one at a time.”
At my answer, the silver armor laughed again.
“Good. Who will challenge first?”
“I will try first.”
Arthur went first. The silver armor skillfully lowered the ax to the floor. It was his own fighting stance.
“let’s begin.”
“Good. young people. Where are you going to challenge yourself?”
After speaking, Arthur took out the Calad Bolg from the air. Golden magic created a crack in the air.
Green eyes shook between the pitch gaps.
As soon as Arthur hit the ground, he closed the distance. Certainly, Arthur, who obtained the Colored Bolg, showed a different movement than before.
Swords and axes crossed.
At the same time, the two horse powers collided, creating a strong updraft.
“It’s quite a feat to reach that level at such a young age.”
Arthur immediately removed his sword and unleashed a series of attacks. The silver armor was so nimble that it was hard to believe that he was wearing armor.
Outwardly, the movement overran Lund.
Lund and Whistle? no, it was more than that.
A hidden boss that surpasses the rank 1 of the Hero League?
As a single entity, it could be trusted even if it was the strongest in the empire.
‘Yoon Ah-hyun… . Why the hell did you do the balance patch so quickly… .’
Originally, he was the strongest dragon with severe power inflation.
However, he said everything on the same terms with Arthur, who had obtained the Calad Bolg.
Even so, Arthur calmly continued the battle.
It wasn’t a flustered look at all. He seemed to think that the world was wide and there were many masters.
When the distance widened, it narrowed and drove the opponent without a break. However, the opponent skillfully received the sword like a hidden boss.
Shed what could be shed, and avoided what could be avoided.
The silver armor collided with Arthur on the shoulder.
Arthur maintained his stance even as he was pushed back.
“I’ve never seen such a strong opponent before.”
“I’m just grateful that you commented that way.”
Golden magic surged through Arthur’s body. He seemed to realize that he couldn’t subdue his opponent with only blue magic power.
Are you thinking of winning at once?
Arthur seemed to be aware that if the game dragged on for a long time anyway, the game itself would fizzle out.
I decided to win with the mana I gathered at once.
Arthur lowered his tightly gripped sword. The golden mana rushed forward, and the opponent hit the ax against the mana.
bang-!
A thick cloud of dust rose with an enormous explosion. Through the dust, Arthur jumped out.
Arthur ran without stopping and closed the distance with his opponent. Arthur’s sword pierced the opponent’s abdomen.
At the same time, the opponent’s ax was cut horizontally. There was a metallic sound and the wind roared. Just like that, they passed each other past each other.
Wow-!
The silver armor was cracked, and Arthur’s right arm was drooping.
Blood was pouring from the shoulder blades that had been hit by the axe.
Took.
The iron plate of the armor fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
and… .
Patter.
Drops of blood ran down Arthur’s shoulders and wet the ground. Arthur caught his breath and laughed once. He didn’t let go of the Caladbolg he was holding until the end.
Whoa, whoa, Arthur, who was out of breath, opened his mouth.
“… lost You are strong.”
The silver armor hit the nape of the neck with an axe.
“What are you talking about? It’s a draw. Didn’t you cut off my Orichalcum armor? If it was just a body, the intestines would have spilled out.”
It was.
But looking at the result alone, Arthur could no longer hold the sword with his right hand, and his opponent only lost his armor.
When Arthur broke the barrier, the two’s consciousness returned to reality.
Arthur’s shoulder blades and the man’s armor were all intact.
“Is that man very strong?”
At Hesia’s words, I nodded. It was definitely strong. Even though the opponent wore Orichalcum armor, it was hard to deny that it was strong.
“Heh heh, it’s amazing that a virtual space can be implemented without magic devices. And the armor is fine.”
The man muttered as he groped here and there in his armor.
“Now, is it your turn next?”
Then it was my turn.
I took Excalibur out of the shadows. Even while watching the duel between Arthur and the silver armor, I kept thinking about who the opponent was.
Could it be Luke Amos?
300 years ago, Luke Amos, the legendary hero who sealed the seven demon lords. If it was a person like that, there was nothing strange about Arthur and Hogak’s swordsmanship.
But Luke Amos is dead.
With the wounds from the last battle with the demon king, he sealed the demon king and recuperated in the countryside.
The wound was a kind of curse, so it was impossible to cure it. No matter how many priests cast healing magic, the wounds did not heal.
Even Calciater, the indigo dragon, could only slow down the progress of the curse.
I still wanted to… .
Well, in fact, wouldn’t it be possible that the legendary hero, Luke Amos, is living in the countryside pretending to be dead?
And since he was a legendary warrior, there was nothing strange about living for over 300 years.
“Hey, are you Luke Amos?”
“Luke Amos? Is that Luke Amos I think is right? Could it be that you thought I was Luke Amos?”
He laughed like it was funny. It seemed that I had completely lost my footing. Embarrassed, I scratched the back of my head.
“Do I look like that legendary hero?”
“no… . I just thought about it when I was a hidden, no, hidden master.”
“I am not a hero, much less a companion of a hero. I am just an adventurer who was a wanderer and settled here for a while.”
Not even the warrior’s companions.
It meant that the hero Luke’s companions, Nadia and Iniros, were not.
“If it’s not rude, could you please take off your helmet?”
“I’ll take it off after the duel.”
“All right. I will do my best.”
It was an opponent who was on a par with Arthur.
The chances of winning by sticking properly were low. Anyway, I’m not a good character like Arthur.
“Eastern adventurer, I thought I should ask for your understanding in advance, but would it be okay for me to use spirits, familiars, etc. during battle?”
“Do whatever you want. By the way, you looked like a swordsman, but were you actually a summoner and elementalist?”
I grinned. I was too jaded to be grouped into one category.
He was a necromancer, a spirit lord, possessed psychic abilities, used magic, and used a sword.
“It will be comfortable if you think of it as a magic swordsman.”
“A magic swordsman. Got it. Where are you going to show off your skills to the fullest?”
“Thank you for your permission.”
Arthur opened the illusion barrier again.
The silver armor and I soon faced each other within the barrier. I should have asked for permission. There was no need to decline.
“Run wild! obelisk!”
An obelisk popped out of my shadow. At the appearance of the Giant God Soldier, the silver armor was embarrassed for a while, and shed admiration.
“My God, I’ve never seen such a big and beautiful golem in my entire adventurer life!”
Hearing that, I thought that this silver armor was not a bad person. There are no bad guys for people who like giant robots.
“And necromancy to Chaos Knights. Oh My God. good anyway Let’s all fight together.”
In addition to the obelisk, the black armor led by Rien took a combat stance.
I led the Knights and the Colossus and ran towards the hidden boss.
