Chapter 172: Sharing the Bed with Enemies (7)
“Are you deaf? I said, how about eight?”
As Yeongwoo strode towards the center of the arena, Gata looked at him with an expression as if he had never seen anything like this before.
―How audacious. How dare this guy…!
“Who are you?”
―What?
“Who are you? No, I’m genuinely curious. We’re eting for the first ti.”
Thwack!
As Yeongwoo swung a Bastard in preparation for battle, Gata, who had been watching him, widened his eyes.
Then, Yeongwoo uttered sothing unexpected.
―Bastard…!
“…What?”
This ti, Yeongwoo was the one with a surprised expression.
He thought the guy would react sohow, but he never imagined he would guess the na of the sword he just swung.
“What did you just say?”
As Yeongwoo asked again for confirmation, Gata raised his blunt index finger to precisely point at ‘Bastard’.
『Bastard』 – Myth-grade One-handed Sword
【Authority Obstruction】
【Contempt for the weak】
【Challenger】
―Isn’t that the Challenger, ‘Bastard’? How is that sword in your hands?
“Is this sword that famous?”
Indeed, the Bastard was a mythical-grade weapon that Yeongwoo would never have obtained in his lifeti if it weren’t for his connection with Dogo.
「You have beco the owner of the myth.」
「You can maintain dignity in front of transcendent beings.」
「No longer will your existence be broken.」
Just by looking at the permanent buffs gained upon acquiring a myth-grade equipnt, one could understand.
Myth-grade equipnt was universal gear for those who sought to stand on par with the beings called ‘transcendents’.
‘No, no matter what, it’s still enough to recognize the monster trapped in so dungeon?’
So Yeongwoo couldn’t help but ask again.
“This is the second ti I’m asking, who are you? And how did you recognize this sword?”
Upon hearing this, Gata finally spread his hand-like giant wings wide, casting a grotesque shadow over the arena.
―I am Gata, the rebel of the Vesedel royal family, a titan of Kromonius!
‘…Is being a rebel sothing to be proud of?’
While thinking this internally, Yeongwoo decided to move on for now.
Perhaps even rebelling against a royal family in the universe could be considered an ‘achievent’.
“So are you trapped here as a consequence of your rebellion? You certainly don’t look like the owner of this dungeon.”
―How arrogant, owner of the myth.
Gata scolded Yeongwoo and then looked at three lights that entered the ceiling of the arena.
It seed like he was concerned about the 3-step debuff applied to him.
―Bastard. I saw it in the last battle in Vesedel.
Then he made a gesture as if grasping sothing with his large hand.
―The day to see the myth again has co… Even eternity is now just a handful of sand.
Seeing the myth-grade equipnt ‘Bastard’ unexpectedly brought new feelings.
However, Yeongwoo wasn’t interested in the monster’s nostalgia trip.
“What nonsense. Then it’s not that big of a deal in reality.”
―This…!
In response to Yeongwoo’s nonchalant reaction, Gata folded his wings like fists.
Thunk!
―I don’t know how a creature like you attained the status of a challenger, but the appearance of that sword here is for …!
“It seems we’re entering the combat phase soon.”
At that mont, Yeongwoo was looking at the tooltip of ‘Bastard,’ which was glowing red.
【Challenger】
|Combat abilities greatly increase when fighting beings of higher grades.
‘Since I’m a grade 7 existence under universal law… That guy must be at least grade 6 or higher.’
As Gata himself ntioned, Bastard was a sword for challengers.
In other words, in this situation, Yeongwoo, who ca to challenge higher beings, was more suitable as the owner of Bastard.
―Finally, the shackles of the prey are capturing ! You, creature, hand over that sword. It will be the key to my remaining tasks.
Thud.
Eventually, Gata crouched like a predator about to hunt, staring at Yeongwoo.
And simultaneously.
「The sensory value has temporarily increased from the existing 1,500 to 4,500.」
The golden light brought the sensation up by 3,000.
‘…What?’
This ant that Gata’s basic sensory value was as high as 6,000.
Moreover, wasn’t this the version that had been weakened by three stages due to the ignition of the furnace?
‘If the furnace hadn’t been ignited, I wouldn’t have stood a chance against him.’
Watching Gata charging fiercely, Yeongwoo gripped Bastard with both hands.
Thunk.
‘Just one match. I want to fight properly, even just once.’
Can Yeongwoo still fight on equal footing with a higher being like Gata in his current state?
As Yeongwoo stood still, gripping the sword, Jeonggu, feeling that sothing was amiss, scread almost like a shriek.
“What, what are you doing? Are you going to switch between using the sword and the bow?”
Seeing this, the experts from the remaining three countries also looked on in disbelief as the distance between Gata and the Strongest Sword of Joseon, narrowed to a few ters.
And finally.
“This crazy guy…!”
Before the eyes of everyone, including Jeonggu, Jeong Yeongwoo and Gata clashed.
Baaang!
Gata’s right-hand swing seed to tear through the air.
In response, Yeongwoo’s Bastard seed feeble, but…
Kwaaaang!
When the two objects collided, a shockwave swept through the arena, making ears ring.
“Kruh!”
“Ugh…!”
While Gata’s attack power was evident, Yeongwoo’s resilience against it was extraordinary.
―This bastard…!
Seeing his blow received without flinching, Gata expressed surprise.
Of course, Gata thought this was solely due to the power of Bastard.
―Indeed, Bastard! A mark of the Challenger.
Upon this, Yeongwoo pushed away Gata’s hand, which was in contact with Bastard, and lightly grazed just above his left knee.
Fwaat!
This induced bleeding, boosting his strength by 25%.
―Oh. Seems like you have so tricks up your sleeve.
Seeing the self-harm by his opponent, Gata quickly deduced the reason and imdiately began pressing with his left hand.
Baaang!
Another heavy blow that tore through space.
At the sa ti, Yeongwoo also swung his sword towards Gata’s left hand.
Kwaaaang!
This was already their second clash.
And at that mont, Yeongwoo felt imnse exhilaration.
‘This world has truly beco anything is possible.’

Who would have known that a re human could engage in such a power struggle?
Even now.
-Weeiiing!
He was watching as the automatic combat greatsword, Golden Trail, aid behind Gata and flew towards him.
If that attack landed, it would be the first ti causing harm to a higher being.
“Die!”
As Yeongwoo launched an attack to grab Gata’s attention, he revealed his plan.
―I admit, you’re quite sothing, creature.
Then, he reached out behind him and grabbed the Golden Trail that was just about to attack.
Kwak!
“…!”
Not only Yeongwoo but also the other ‘creatures’ witnessing this duel could only be astonished.
-Weeiiing…!
Even though the Golden Trail, caught in a split second, desperately increased its output, it couldn’t escape from Gata’s grip.
―Now disappear.
Then, holding the Golden Trail, Gata rushed towards Yeongwoo.
Kwakwakkung!
He truly intended to end this battle.
The scene of the 8-ter giant swinging both arms was terrifying in itself.
‘He seems really angry this ti.’
Instead of counterattacking, Yeongwoo leaped backward.
Pwaat!
The ‘Climber,’ which amplified the leap distance by three tis, explosively propelled him backward.
‘Ah, I thought it was just for climbing, but it’s actually a weapon from the Giant Temple.’
Hwaaak!
Watching Gata flail through the air by a hair’s breadth, Yeongwoo belatedly realized the true value of the ‘Climber.’
Then, after swiftly checking Bastard, he drew the bow ‘White Fire’ that he had been carrying over his torso and prepared to draw an arrow.
Tudududuk!
―A bow?
Gata, whose body was made of rocks, couldn’t be frightened by such arrows.
But the problem was.
Fyuwooosh!
The arrow shot from this bow was made by Dogo.
◇ Dogo: Stealth Arrow
◇ Dogo: Elental Damage
Even Gata, whose grade was higher than Yeongwoo’s, found it difficult to react to the stealth arrow.
It was only after the arrow almost touched his forearm that he realized sothing was wrong.
―…!
Pueeeong!
With a purple explosion, a faint crack appeared on Gata’s right forearm where the arrow struck.
Of course, as Gata was placed as the dungeon boss, he was not an entity that ‘creatures’ could never kill.
“You’re finished now.”
As Yeongwoo uttered another audacious remark upon confirming the purple crack, Gata, seething with anger, spread his wings wide and slightly levitated into the air.
The next ti Yeongwoo tries to jump again, he will snatch him up from the sky.
However, unfortunately for him, Yeongwoo’s next move was…
Swoosh.
It was a whistle performance.
Piiiiiiiiing!
As the sound of the whistle resonated in the indoor arena with a diater of 500 ters, a clear echo reverberated.
And soon after…
Suaaaaa…
The surroundings dimd as a sinister aura invaded the arena.
“What, what’s happening? All of a sudden?”
Tomiko, Miyagi’s Sword Master, looked around with a fearful expression, questioning Jeonggu.
“What did you summon…?”
Even Jang Jaham, who sensed that this was ‘summoning,’ looked up at the ceiling with widened eyes.
Despite being seasoned warriors from various countries who had experienced all sorts of events, none of them could have anticipated this.
The fact that the Strongest Sword of Joseon had a summoning squad of mutants.
Kwaaack!
Eventually, space near the ceiling of the arena tore apart, and from within, screams and shouts began to echo one after another.
「Aaahhh!」
「Uuuhh!」
「No, dammit…!」
Yeongwoo’s three friends. Yeongtae, Taejoon, and Younghyeom were returning to this world.
A 3-ter tall hyena humanoid.
Likewise, a 3-ter tall granite golem.
And finally.
[Kim Younghyeom – Friend of Jeong Yeongwoo07]
A 6-ter long, 2.5-ter tall white tiger.
Unlike the returnees seen on television, the three had regained their transford bodies.
And…
Kwaack, Kwaak!
As they arrived at the arena of the other world one after another, they each guarded their surroundings, revealing their readiness.
They seed to have practiced their landing positions in preparation for being summoned like this.
But the beings they had to face…
-What are these damn mutts?
An 8-ter tall rock giant.
Upon this, Yeongtae boldly provoked Gata, opening his elongated jaws.
Thud!
「This ti, we’re sure! It’s definitely you!」
