Chapter 96: Niflheimr (8) (1)


    Ridgion.


    When he was first summoned, there was nost name in the status window.


    His innate rank was 2 stars. However, among the thousands of heroes Ive drawn, I havent seen a genius like him. Ridgion was a hero who had actively participated in numerous missions since the early days of Niflheimr, alongside Seris.


    Nice to meet you for the first time.


    The young man bent his knee to me.


    His face was expressionless, but there was a burning light in his eyes. He wasnt wearing an upper garment, and his smooth, muscr upper body was covered with scars.


    Stand up.


    Ridgion straightened up.


    A sword was stuck in the ground beside him. It was an ordinary iron sword with no particr features. It seemed like he had been practicing here alone before I arrived. Various sword marks covered the nearby dark iron.


    The fact that Ridgion is here


    I can guess the intention.


    I looked at the sword next to Ridgion. He used it to cut through dark iron, which is several times stronger, yet it had no scratches.


    Ridgion spoke.


    I heard the story from Yu.


    Its good, I dont have to say it again then.


    Why did you make such a decision?


    Ridgions face wrinkled.


    But in the blink of an eye, Ridgion returned to his usual expressionless self.


    Our hearts remain unchanged. No matter what state you are in, Master


    Im sorry. My heart is the same.


    Ridgion turned his head.


    Iughed and said, I dont think you called me to try to convince me of the impossible.


    I exined the reason.


    Even if all five of them gathered, I had no intention of reversing the decision.


    Ridgion must know that. He probably just feels disappointed.


    Well, thats how it is.


    Ridgion muttered.


    The me that had been in his eyes gradually dimmed andpletely disappeared.


    Is this how it works?


    I narrowed my eyes.


    Ridgions demeanor hadpletely changed. It felt strange as if I were looking at an inanimate object.


    It must be the ultimate evolution of the Composure skill. And one more thing.


    Body and Sword Unity.


    I could sense the de even though I was this far away.


    It felt like facing a well-forged famous sword.


    Ridgion said, Just as you made me stronger.


    Ridgion drew the sword stuck in the ground.


    I will make you stronger too.


    Ridgion extended the sword.


    And he froze in that position.


    Are you going to be my practice partner?


    If you wish.


    As far as I know, the most perfect swordsman is right in front of me.


    While other heroes acquire abilities beyond weapon skills, he stubbornly stuck to swordsmanship. He was different from the four who carried dozens of abilities as a basic. Ridgion had only a few skills that could assist swordsmanship.


    I cant help it, I have to do it.


    My body burned for the first time in a while.


    It was a feeling I didnt feel in the fight against Jenna or Valkyrist.


    I drew my sword and shield.


    Master,e at me.


    Ridgion held the hilt of his sword lightly.


    I calmed my breathing and said, Is your training method still the same?


    Yu has given you the permission, so you can see for yourself.


    In that case, I wont decline.


    Status window.


    Ridgions stats appeared before my eyes.


    [Ridgion() Lv. 99]


    [ss: Weapon Master]


    [Strength: 10/10]


    [Intelligence: 10/10]


    [Health: 10/10]


    [Agility: 10/10]


    [Skills: Effects of Heavenly Sword Spirit (Lv.Max) cannot be seen.]


    As expected.


    The total stats were 40. All stats were at 10.


    It was the stats that a level one 1-star hero of normal summoning would have by default.


    Of course, it wasnt his true ability. Ridgion deliberately lowered it to train his skills without relying on his body.


    I took a deep breath.


    I didnt think Ridgion was underestimating me.


    He was just amoner with only 10 strength, but he could cut through dark iron like it was nothing. The weapon he was holding was not the five-star divine sword, u Ss. It was a dull and old iron sword.


    Iming at full power.


    Anytime.


    I flipped the switch in my head.


    A heat spread throughout my body, growing hotter.


    [Han() has entered a wild state!]


    Status window.


    This time, I examined my own abilities.


    [Han Israt() Lv. 20(Exp 58/160)]


    [ss: Novice]


    [Strength: 55/45 + 10]


    [Intelligence: 0/10  10]


    [Health: 51/41 + 10]


    [Agility: 49/39 + 10]


    [Skills: Low-level Swordsmanship(Lv.8), Insight(Lv.5), Fire Resistance(Lv.3), Pain Resistance(Lv.4), Composure(Lv.5), Frenzy(Lv.6), Invincible(Lv.1), Dragons Blood(Lv.1), Stealth(Lv.1), Horsemanship(Lv.1)]


    [Current State: Frenzy(Lv.6)]


    The current level is 20. The total stats add up to 135.


    When calcting the additional value of Frenzy, it bes 155.


    Compared to the current Ridgion, there is a difference of 115 points. When you add even intelligence, which has no effect on the physical category, the gap widens even further.


    It was a gap between an adult and a child, no, between a giant and a newborn.


    Its not just strength. Stamina and agility are iparable too. Even if the weapon skill levels are not simr, with this much difference in stats, I can easily overwhelm him; his weapon would shatter as soon as it met mine.


    Thats if this guy was ordinary


    Lets see how far I can reach with my current self.


    Lets Go.
