Chapter 389
Chapter 389
The intimidation worked perfectly.
After all, it was unforgivable for the Guild Master of the Swordmaster Guild to be attacked so unreasonably—and by a count who enjoyed the Emperor’s favor at that.
I occasionally realized it, but times like these made me appreciate the convenience of a noble title.
In any case, as compensation for the damages,
– You have acquired the skill ‘Blade Rush Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Sword Drive Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Gale Slash Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Sword Burst Lv 1’.
….
I was able to learn every skill that Kairon had used.
But that wasn’t all.
Among the skills available at the Swordmaster Guild, there were those I didn’t possess as skill books.
Or new skills that had emerged in Second but didn’t exist in First.
Those skills as well.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Silence Cut Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Resolute Strike Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘One Stroke, Two Severed Lv 1’.
….
I acquired them all.
Normally, learning skills requires strict limitations, but wasn’t I an All Master?
With All Mastery, my sword proficiency was more than sufficient, and my stats were high enough.
There was no skill at the Swordmaster Guild that I couldn’t learn.
That said, using this many skills all at once was impossible.
[ The skill experience of Blade Rush is being absorbed into ‘Crimson Night Blood Tide’. ]
[ The skill experience of Sword Drive is being absorbed into ‘Black Insect Flash’. ]
….
[ The skill level of ‘Crimson Night Blood Tide’ has increased. ]
[ The skill level of ‘Black Insect Flash’ has increased. ]
Fortunately, most of the newly acquired skills were absorbed into Crimson Night Blood Tide and Black Insect Flash.
It wasn’t merely a matter of skill levels rising.
The very essence and subtlety of countless skills had been absorbed into the Evil God’s mythic-rank skills.
So by using only Crimson Night Blood Tide and Black Insect Flash, I could certainly employ all the subtleties of the skills I’d just learned.
As proof of this, I took my stance while watching Kairon, who stood at a distance from me.
– Using the skill ‘Black Insect Flash’.
I activated Black Insect Flash.
Whoosh!
“Gaaaah!”
The ‘Sword Drive’ that Kairon had used was perfectly replicated.
My sword halted directly before his brow.
Quite satisfying.
Beyond this, I could reproduce other skills just as flawlessly if I set my mind to it.
In fact, I could manifest them even more powerfully.
Most of the skills that existed in First were ones I had personally wielded, so I was confident I could employ them more effectively than Kairon himself.
The newly learned skills would simply become second nature as time progressed.
‘Excellent.’
Not only sword force, but I had absorbed an array of skills as well.
I had gained much from the Swordmaster Guild.
However, this did not mark the end of my agenda.
‘I won’t be wielding only a sword.’
Unfortunately, merely learning sword force did not grant me the ability to harness the vital essence of every other weapon.
This required separate acquisition by visiting the occupational guilds.
Therefore, I intended to traverse the occupational guilds throughout Rabelth and master the vital essence of each weapon type.
While I was at it.
‘I would gain skills as well.’
Just as had occurred at the Swordmaster Guild this time.
I desired to acquire all the occupational skills from the other guilds if possible.
Doing so would strengthen all of the Evil God’s mythic-grade skills.
With that thought in mind.
“Shall we visit the Archer Guild next?”
I began earnestly traversing the occupational guilds of Rabelth.
* * *
Rabelth’s occupational guilds were renowned as the largest on the Continent.
And remarkably diverse.
It could be no other way.
Rabelth was the Capital of the Empire, where the greatest concentration of people gathered on the Continent.
Consequently, the occupational guilds maintained intricately connected information networks.
“Have you heard the rumor?”
“What rumor?”
“Apparently, an extraordinary master has appeared and has been breaking guild signboards.”
“Breaking signboards?”
“Defeating the guild masters of the occupational guilds one after another.”
“What?”
Thus, whenever something intriguing occurred, rumors spread swiftly.
But this particular rumor circulating now seemed rather peculiar.
Breaking signboards, they said.
What in the world was this about?
The reason people found this rumor strange was simple.
“If it’s an occupational guild, one must challenge using that occupation’s weapon. So who is this person who defeated the guild master of the Swordmaster Guild with a sword, and struck down the guild master of the Archer Guild with a bow?”
In other places, perhaps, but the professional Guilds were spaces where only those of the corresponding profession could enter.
A Sage could not challenge the Swordmaster Guild, nor could a Swordmaster challenge the Archer Guild.
But breaking through a dojo?
Didn’t that mean the challenger possessed every profession—Swordmaster, Archer, and so forth?
It was nonsensical by any reasonable standard.
And yet.
“I’m telling you, that’s why it’s so strange!”
“What kind of absurd nonsense are you spouting?”
“No, really! You know the Guild Master of the Swordmaster Guild? That unlucky bastard got beaten to a pulp and people saw him taking potions on his way out!”
“Kairon is certainly unlucky, but that alone doesn’t….”
“That’s not all! The Guild Master of the Archer Guild came down looking like a porcupine and took clothes as compensation!”
“…Even so, that doesn’t make sense.”
What was truly remarkable was how actively such an absurd rumor circulated.
Something felt distinctly off about this.
Baseless gossip typically faded quickly, yet this rumor spread with such intensity?
Could there actually be some truth to it?
With that thought, the Receptionist.
“Guild Master, are you in?”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Well, there’s a suspicious rumor circulating, and I thought you should know about it, so I came to inform you.”
“A rumor?”
She reported it to the Guild Master of her own Guild as well.
No matter how I thought about it, the rumor was difficult to believe, but there was that saying—sometimes the impossible becomes real.
However, the Guild Master himself dismissed it as mere gossip.
“So what you’re saying is that some peerless master suddenly appeared and has been defeating the Guild Masters of various professional Guilds without regard to profession or weapon?”
“Yes, according to the rumor….”
“It’s baseless gossip.”
“G-Guild Master, I thought so too, but the rumor is spreading far too widely. Isn’t there a saying that where there’s smoke, there’s fire?”
“That saying only holds weight when there’s some basis for it. This isn’t some Dragon’s Amusement—do you really think that’s plausible?”
“I don’t think it makes sense either, but….”
“Stop wasting time listening to such nonsense and focus on improving the Guild’s finances instead. Membership has been declining lately—why don’t you go to the plaza and promote to beginners?”
“…Yes.”
The Receptionist herself didn’t believe the rumor either.
So she had no choice but to leave the Guild Master’s office with a wronged expression.
What else could she do?
Upon further reflection, it truly was an absurd rumor, so she erased it from her mind, returned to the reception desk, and focused on her work.
A short while later.
“Welcome. What brings you here?”
“I’ve come to learn Fist Force.”
“I beg your pardon? You do understand the requirements for learning Fist Force, yes? You must be a Martial Artist profession above level 600, and your stats must….”
“All requirements are met. However, since this is my first time and I have no merit points, could you recommend a quest that would allow me to learn Fist Force in one go?”
The adventurer who suddenly appeared was saying something strange.
Learn Fist Force?
But if this martial artist were strong enough to learn Fist Force, she would surely know of them?
Where could such a master have come from?
“There is one quest, but it’s far too dangerous….”
“I’ll be back soon.”
Despite her dissuasion, the adventurer accepted the quest and left.
I thought they would give up before long.
“I’ve completed it.”
“…What?”
“Now I’d like to learn Fist Force. Where should I go?”
The adventurer had completed what seemed like an impossible quest and returned.
It was an unbelievable situation, but without time to be flustered, I guided the adventurer to the Guild Master.
To learn Fist Force, one had to take a test directly from the Guild Master.
The moment I finished guiding the adventurer and came back down.
‘… Could it be.’
A rumor I’d heard earlier surfaced in her mind.
A mysterious master who suddenly appeared and swept through the professional guilds.
Could the adventurer I just met be doing the same ‘guild-breaking’ at other professional guilds as well?
Anxiety began to creep up within her.
“Huh?”
The adventurer’s back came into her view.
They must have taken the test to learn Fist Force.
Yet they were spotless—not a single wound, not a speck of dust on them.
Sure enough, not long after.
“…Mellia, where was the potion inventory? I used up all the potions I had….”
“G-Guild Master?!”
The moment the Martial Artist Guild’s Guild Master came down with a puffy face, covered head to toe in bruises.
She realized the rumor was true.
* * *
After learning Sword Force at the Swordmaster Guild.
I subsequently learned Spear Force at the Spearmaster Guild and Fist Force at the Martial Artist Guild.
I was able to learn Force techniques by visiting all the professional guilds.
That wasn’t all.
After learning the Force techniques, through negotiations with the Guild Masters.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Snake Spear Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Spiral Arrow Lv 1’.
– You have acquired the skill ‘Speed Punch Lv 1’.
….
I could learn other skills as well.
Of course.
[ The skill experience of Snake Spear Skill is being absorbed into ‘Black Insect First Flash’. ]
[ The skill experience of Spiral Arrow Skill is being absorbed into ‘Silver Tide Soul Pursuit’. ]
….
Most of the skills I learned this way were absorbed into the Evil God’s mythic-tier skills as well.
Of course, there were also skills that remained without being absorbed into the Evil God’s arsenal.
Most notably.
[ Veil of Darkness Lv 1 ]
[ Phantom Form Lv 1 ]
[ Black Grasp Lv 1 ]
These were the ones.
Skills whose classifications didn’t fit within the Evil God’s domain.
Most of them came from the Thief Guild, and while attack skills could be incorporated into ‘Black Insect First Flash’ or ‘Crimson Night Blood Tide’, there were no corresponding Evil God skills for stealth and theft abilities like these.
And it was awkward to build proficiency by using them one by one.
‘There are still many Evil Gods left.’
I hoped that the skills I’d obtain from the next Evil God would be related to these, so they could integrate well.
With that thought, I moved on.
Anyway, I’d now visited all the professional guilds in Rabelth.
I was pondering how to learn the rare weapon techniques I hadn’t yet acquired, when.
[ You have acquired seven types of Qi techniques. ]
[ Through the All Master ability, all types of Qi have been unified, allowing you to use Qi with all types of weapons. ]
“Oh?”
This message appeared.
It meant I no longer needed to go around learning additional Qi techniques separately.
As proof of that.
[ Chain Scythe of the Malevolent ]
( Cannot be traded )
Form: Shield
Grade: Mythic
I drew out a weapon type I hadn’t yet learned Qi for and channeled my power into it.
Whoooosh—.
I could see Qi coalescing on the chain scythe.
Back in First when I played as a Weapon Specialist, I had to seek out expert NPCs who handled rare weapons and learn Qi techniques one by one.
Now that I’d become an All Master, there was no need for that.
“Well, it seems I’ve finished all my business in Rabelth.”
I’d stayed in Rabelth longer than expected.
So now it was time.
“Should I head back?”
It was time to return to my territory, Caldera, after so long.
