Episode 68
Ding!
[ Constellation — by the arrangement of the Guardian of Tae-won, the Sealed Guardian’s Greatsword (S-rank) is now unlocked. ]
“Ha.”
A hollow laugh escaped me unbidden, and my senses sharpened all at once. In that instant, my vision cleared—beyond the drifting mist, the creature’s body came into sharp focus.
A thin current of air suddenly spiraled like a vortex, scraped against my ears, and then vanished.
‘Arbiter of Truth.’
The two of them aren’t cooking up some scheme together, are they?
Before I could hear an answer, a strange, cool sensation pressed against my palm. I let my gaze drift down toward it naturally.
There, in my hand, lay a weapon wreathed in deep violet mana so fierce it seemed to consume my own hand.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won dabs at the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, marveling at how many years it’s been since she saw her Contractor stand with such dignity. ]
[ The Arbiter of Truth pats the Guardian of Tae-won on the shoulder, then whispers whether she’ll finally admit the difference in power between them now, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. ]
Gazing at the Guardian’s Sword for a moment, my mind grew strangely vacant.
Aside from my awakening and that day I couldn’t help but reveal my strength before Father, it had been years since I’d held this.
Unlike the C-Class Greatsword, I felt no weight at all—it was like holding a dream.
—Grrrr……!
That’s when the Ogre’s rough cry rang out.
My gaze snapped forward reflexively, and I met eyes that gleamed with fierce intensity.
Without hesitation, it swung the sword it held in a horizontal arc.
A heavy wind sound carved through the air.
‘Oh, same as always?’
It was the kind of habit a warrior in the tank Position had—drawing Aggro. But since this Ogre was S-Class too, the strength flowing through its entire body must be tremendous.
That meant even a grazing touch from that sword would snap something in me for certain.
‘Simple and straightforward, just like before.’
In my newly sharpened vision, the transparent blade light became visible.
Instead of moving my feet, I simply bent my waist forward.
Crash!
The moment I heard the violent sound, I straightened my upper body and turned to look behind me.
‘That power is absolutely insane.’
If I’d taken that head-on, my body would’ve been cleaved in two.
—Roooaaarrr!
As if reminding me of its presence, the Ogre released an even louder shriek than before.
The moment I looked forward again, instead of swinging its weapon, it drove the tip of its sword down forcefully into the ground.
‘What is it trying to…’
A tremor different from the creature’s movement erupted.
Like a high-magnitude earthquake.
Unable to withstand the shock, cracks appeared at my feet in an instant. The white crystals embedded in the floor suddenly shot skyward.
The tremor ceased quickly, but just in case, I swiftly pressed my body against one of the cliff faces.
‘Though there’s nothing I really needed to avoid.’
The crystalline shards that rose high into the air were all different sizes and looked far harder than expected. Like hail falling, I simply raised my arm lightly and swept them all away at once with a broad stroke.
In other words, I was using the wide face of the Greatsword as a shield.
‘Well, at least that’s a relief.’
That this Ogre is genuine, anyway.
I tilted my head slightly to check the Ogre’s state.
Whether to show its anger, it stamped one massive foot down. At the same moment, I turned to face it again and rushed forward without hesitation.
Perhaps thrown off by this sudden action of mine.
Even as the creature fixed its gaze on me, shaking its head, it oddly made no move to respond.
Running at speed, I passed between the Ogre’s pillar-like legs and planted my feet firmly. Then I lightly tapped the inside of its thigh with the pommel of the Greatsword.
—Growl.
Surprisingly, the Ogre’s balance shattered easily, and its body staggered slightly.
In that moment, I drove the blade tip into the ground to anchor myself and spun around in one fluid motion. There, in my sight, lay the creature’s broad back, sinews bulging strangely.
‘…Is it really coming then?’
If an S-Class monster was here, then this place might be a Boss Room. Of course, that was just one assumption I’d made after running through all the positive scenarios.
Whether luck was good or bad, I’d fallen directly in front of the Boss through that direct route.
‘But did it have to be this way?’
And why me, of all people…!
A surge of resentment rose suddenly, and my insides began to churn. Right then, the Ogre shifted one leg and started to turn its body at an angle toward me.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won says she believes in her Contractor, watching with keen interest. ]
Before it could fully turn and advance on me, I instead ran backward with my back still toward it, opening distance between us.
Then I came to a halt at one point and turned to face the Ogre again.
“Hah.”
I exhaled sharply, bounced once on the spot, then bounded lightly toward the creature.
Before long, I planted my foot on the left cliff face and vaulted upward, flinging my body toward the opposite wall.
‘Yes, this helps.’
The crystalline shards jutting from the cliff below provided slight aid for my leaps, meager as it was.
Of course, they crumbled to powder under the force in my legs and scattered down like rain.
As I zigzagged up both cliff faces, the Ogre lifted its head—tracking my presence.
Its eyes gleamed with the hunger of prey it would not release.
‘Oh, the hair…….’
May it be blessed with fuller locks in the next life.
I offered the brief prayer while gazing at the creature’s smooth, pale crown, then immediately gripped my Greatsword in both hands.
That was when I took the stance—about to strike downward from above.
The Ogre reflexively swung its sword upward to meet me mid-air.
Clang—!
“Hah!”
Our weapons collided fiercely in the air.
A sharp impact traveled down my fingertips, but absurdly, it was exactly the moment I needed.
Ding!
[ The Constellation arranges for the Guardian of Tae-won to summon state change information regarding the Contractor. ]
【Solid Strike (S)】
—Upon entering a defensive stance, amplify the force received from the opponent twofold and counterattack.
—Duration: 5 seconds
[ The Guardian of Tae-won places both hands on their hips, exhales deeply, and breaks into a proud smile—saying this is precisely what they needed. ]
Then a deep violet energy spiraled outward around the blade’s edge, creating an illusion that the sword itself had grown vast.
Gritting my teeth, I poured more force into my arms and grip, pressing down hard.
—Crrrrack!
I could see the tendons in the Ogre’s forearms bulging as though ready to burst.
‘This bastard’s no joke either.’
My own teeth ground together.
As I channeled more power into the blade and pushed down harder, I watched one of its knees buckle slowly, its arms sliding backward as it used the sword as a shield, held horizontally.
Then a soft cracking sound erupted from what seemed like a stone weapon.
‘Ah, this is somewhat…….’
My heart ached for a moment with the sympathy of experience.
The deep violet blade drove straight down into its smooth crown.
A soft sound like cloth tearing accompanied the same sensation traveling up through my fingertips.
‘Oh. Unexpected.’
I’d naturally assumed the head would be solid, but it felt like cleaving tofu.
Yet the blade cut through its armor-like massive frame and the tenacious, clinging muscle, driving down cleanly.
In that instant, I kicked one half of the split body backward and retreated.
Crash—!
Using the rebound, I landed on the ground in one fluid motion, and found myself frowning sharply. I’d only given one kick after cutting through the Ogre, yet somehow the impact had spread elsewhere as well…….
The roar was far louder than I’d anticipated, and for a moment my ears rang.
“Tsk—.”
Damn.
I nearly uttered a forbidden word and quickly covered my lips with my hand. But was I too late? The ground’s tremor felt ominous.
Crash!
As the remaining half toppled backward and crashed to the earth, a violent wind rushed through where I sat.
I quickly raised my arm to shield my eyes and watched the scene unfold in the distance.
The impact of the massive body’s collapse had left a crater in the ground as though an explosion had occurred. But that wasn’t all—white chunks were cascading down like rockfall from the cliffs on both sides.
‘Oh…….’
If I’m not careful, it’ll look like I destroyed everything.
[ The Arbiter of Truth plugs its ears against the Guardian of Tae-won’s cheers and cries out that now is the time to show the Contractor’s vacant expression! ]
Right, I shouldn’t be admiring the scene.
I remained on one knee, supporting myself on the vertically planted weapon and glanced at it briefly.
For some reason, it seemed as if a sound was coming from the blade.
‘Could it be… the Guardian……?’
[ The Arbiter of Truth spots the Guardian of Tae-won shaking a bottle of bubbling liquid and hastily reaches out to stop them! ]
“Ha.”
Not knowing what the Constellations looked like, yet able to imagine the Guardian’s expression so vividly, a short laugh escaped me.
So pleased with that, are they.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won is saying something obvious, and just seeing a proper Greatsword in the Contractor’s hand makes her heart swell with grandeur. ]
That was when another laugh threatened to burst free.
A sharp crackling sound pierced my right ear—the one I’d forgotten about.
And in the same instant, the Greatsword became a shimmer of deep purple light and vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.
‘This feeling is strange.’
Suddenly hollow, as if I’d lost all desire to do anything at all.
I clenched my empty hand and slowly pushed myself upright. There was no time left for sentiment now—not anymore.
And then, once more, a voice flowed into my ear.
—Damn… sh*t.
Wait, the first thing I properly heard was a curse…….
