Chapter 339 - Trial Of Pride (1/2)
This is no longer inside the game but the person before me is the original owner of the Weapons of Pride I just let my Versatile Weapon devour. But for this weapon to even invade the real world's real consciousness and visit me in my dreams, that is the very first time. Perhaps this is indeed a side effect that can only happen to the Versatile Weapon since this shouldn't have happened in the past timeline at all. I am not weirded out since we can even learn magic spells into this world, I can even summon my Versatile Weapon without a problem here too, therefore, the spirits from that world can also enter here without a doubt.
”So I have to fight against you to prove myself, right?”
”Yes. That is right.”
”However, I don't have my weapon right now. How can I even fight you?”
”In this space, your weapon is considered connected to this place due to the main reason it devoured my weapon whole. If that is the case, you can pull it out to aid you in this battle. I am not giving you a disadvantage. This is a trial to see whether you are worthy of using my weapon and carrying the curse.”
I see. A trial. Does that mean King Goliath also did this thing before? Maybe so. However, since the Versatile Weapon is currently devouring the Weapons of Pride, the only thing I can do is win this.
Since I am familiar with conjuring the Versatile Weapon in my world, it seems it works the same way here.
”[Materialize]!”
A surge of my mana has been sucked dry and the Versatile Weapon materialized in my hands. From the looks of it, it seems the Versatile Weapon I summoned in this place is the one that has not yet devoured the Weapons of Pride.
”Looks like you also noticed it. Yes, the Weapons that have been devoured have not yet been applied to your weapon. Before it can even apply, the trial must be completed.”
”So in short, I just needed to defeat you right?”
”Basically, yes.”
”Then, bring it on so that I can rest,” I changed the Versatile Weapon into a Magic Sword. However, I realized that I can't use my abilities here like the [Flaming Sword]. Perhaps the only thing I can use is the skills I learned in real life. Not a problem.
”Heh, you are a gutsy one.”
When I blinked, he disappeared from my field of view.
'So fast!'
He was quick and before he can even do anything to me, I immediately used my Versatile Weapon and blocked his incoming attack.
BANG!
He bashed his shield straight to me and although I managed to fully block it, that doesn't mean I am out of danger just yet.
”You are wide open!”
I quickly move to the side allowing me to dodge the spear but I didn't fully dodge it since it managed to graze a bit of my left cheek.
The pain stings and despite the fact that I am not in the real world and it still is painful means all the injuries I am obtaining right now can also transfer in the real world if I am not totally careful.
Quickly kicking him to the abdomen, I managed to get out of his range. With the new distance, that should be fair enough I think, and changed the weapon's form into a Cannon. The gun would be too underwhelming and a bow and arrow, or maybe a crossbow are also out of the question. The only way to penetrate the shield is by either brute-forcing the shield off, or by going head to head.
