"It''s seems like we reached our destination."
"Yeah you are right, This is the boss monster room."
In the middle of an empty cave lied a throne made of stone. Sitting on this throne was the Swordsman Of Demolition, staring down at us. He waspletely covered in ck armor. His eyes oozed with boredom, as though he only just woke up from his sleep.
However, in the next instant, the swordsman''s eyes burned blue. He met Adrian eyes and made a small smile.
It seemed it was true that the strong could recognize each other.
—...What an interesting kid.
A chilling sound resounded.Adrian face was frozen in nervousness. A monster capable of speaking humannguage signified that it wasn''t ordinary.
Even in reality, Encountering a monster capable of speaking humannguage was indeed out of the ordinary, even in reality. Adrian''s face froze in nervousness as he realized the significance of this encounter. The Swordsman of Demolition was no ordinary boss monster.
...And since wee to boss room that means we have to defeat him to get out of the hidden doungen.
...Or should I say that Adrian needs to defeat him, Since he have received a mission from his system.
If I intervene here, It would cause Adrian quite problem.
SHAAAA——!
Adrian quietly pull out his sword from his scabbard, Looking at him I couldn''t help but remember the secen from novel.
[ I looked at my system window new mission as I stood up in front of the Swordsman Of Demolition.
______________________
''Mian Quest''
Kill the Swordsman Of Demolition.
Rewards: one minor realm advancement ( D-) --> (D)rank.
Penalty:- None
______________________
Looking at the reward, I closed the system window.
Usually I would have to wait around 6 months to get (D)rank but with this reward I would be able to get rank on instant.
Few momentster I looked back again at Swordsman Of Demolition, He emitted extraordinary hostility and spirit. I became certain that he was at least [C-] rank. At the same time, I began to worry. Would I be able to defeat him? Soon, I even began to feel afraid.
However, when the Swordsman of Demolition pulled out his sword, an unknown sense of confidence surged within me.
I would be sword saint in future. I was someone who would stand on the peak of swordsmanship.
Against a swordsman opponent, there should be no reason for me to lose..]
I couldn''t help but feel proud when I looked at Adrian, After all he was protaganist of the novel that I created.
"His real body is his sword."
"...Sword?"
Adrian stared at the swordsman''s sword. Crimson sword qi waved around his ck de.
"The voice just now came from that sword. That body should just be a corpse."
In the original story, Adrian figured this out while exchanging blows with the Swordsman of Demolition. However, I couldn''t wait for him to realize this on his own in a situation where intruders could arrive at any time.
The Swordsman of Demolition slowly raised his sword.
His de vibrated, letting out a stiff voice.
—Come. It''s been a while since Ist obtained a body.
Adrian stepped up. I also took out my Acadmy bow.
"You don''t need to attack his body. Just hit the sword. I''ll support you."
I can''t use [Nightshade Bow] against Swordsman of Demolition, because the Swordsman of Demolition was at [C-] rank.
Most of heros and hunters below [C-] wouldn''t have chance to defeat him but [Nightshade Bow] which is an legendary rank artifact could kill him in 1 or 2 shots.
...But doing that would mean I would Interfere with Adrian mission and I don''t want to do that.
So that why I just take out academy bow that I have received and decided that I would support Adrian from sidelines.
Adrian looked at me for moment and nodded his head.
"I''ll trust you."
I just nodded my head at that.
Now, it was Adrian''s turn. The sword he had in his hand should be a high rank sword which he even took out loans to buy. The magic power of a future Sword Saint rose up clearly from this high-ss sword.
The Swordsman of Demolition made the first move, rashly rushing in and striking down with his sword. Adrian raised his sword and blocked him.
KWANG!
The two swords shed. The Swordsman of Demolition''s de emitted a powerful shockwave upon impact, causing Adrian to stagger backward slightly. However, he quickly regained his footing and countered with a swift strike of his own.
The sh of swords echoed throughout the cavern as Adrian and the Swordsman of Demolition engaged in a fierce battle. Each blow was met with equal ferocity as they exchanged swordsmanship techniques with lightning speed.
Adrian''s movements were fluid and precise, his swordsmanship honed through years of training and dedication. With each strike, he pushed himself to the limit, channeling his inner strength and determination into every blow.
Meanwhile, I stood at the sidelines, my bow at the ready, providing support to Adrian as he faced off against the formidable opponent. I carefully aimed my shots, targeting the Swordsman of Demolition''s sword rather than his body, as I had instructed Adrian to do.
Adrian''s trust in me was evident as he focused on the battle at hand, his eyes never leaving his opponent as they danced across the battlefield. With each passing moment, he grew more confident, his swordsmanship reaching new heights as he tapped into his potential as a future Sword Saint.
I also at the same time raised my bow and aimed at the shoulder of the Swordsman of Demolition.
SWOOSH—!
I let go my bow string as arrow with azure mana headed towards the Swordsman of Demolition, leaving a white trail behind it, then digging into the swordsman''s rotten body.
For a fraction of a second, he stopped moving.
Immediately, Adrian began to counterattack.
He unleashed the magic power of a Sword Saint. His clear magic power rose up like a tornado, and his sword shone with a silver light.
Next, he unleashed his own sword technique.
[Moonlight Serenade - The Great Sonata]
The art channels the serene power of the moon, granting Adrian enhanced agility, precision, and a peerless connection with his de.
As he wields his sword, it leaves behind an iridescent trail akin to moonlight on water, mesmerizing all who witness his artistry inbat.
Adrian moved with remarkable speed and finesse, his strikes resembling shes of moonlight.
A powerful strike that shot up like lightning, consecutive strikes that could seemingly sever rivers... the Swordsman of Demolition held up his sword to block them. However, each time Adrian''s de struck, it left behind deep gashes on the Swordsman of Demolition''s armor, chipping away at his defenses bit by bit.
With each strike, Adrian''s determination and resolve burned brighter, fueling his every movement as he pressed on with unwavering determination. His swordsmanship was a sight to behold, a masterful disy of skill and finesse as he danced around his opponent with grace and precision.
Meanwhile, I continued to provide support from the sidelines, unleashing arrows imbued with azure mana to weaken the Swordsman of Demolition''s defenses and create openings for Adrian to exploit. With each well-aimed shot, I contributed to Adrian''s efforts, helping him inch closer to victory with every passing moment.
As the battle raged on, the cavern echoed with the sh of swords and the crackle of magic. Adrian''s movements were a blur as he unleashed his full power, channeling the magic of a future Sword Saint to ovee his formidable opponent.
Finally, with onest powerful strike, Adrian delivered the finishing blow, his sword slicing through the air with unparalleled speed and precision. The Swordsman of Demolition''s armor shattered under the force of the blow, and with a resounding crash, he fell to the ground defeated.
The cavern fell silent as Adrian stood victorious, his chest heaving with exertion but his spirit soaring with triumph. With the Swordsman of Demolition defeated, our mission in the hidden dungeon wasplete.
