46 – Even if it rots, it’s worth it

‘I actually came out because I thought it would be a distraction.’

Siron left the training room and walked around the grounds of the mansion. I wasn’t there because I had anything to do, so I didn’t have a good place to go.

‘What should I do now?’

I decided to practice meditation in the morning, but since I found out that I can’t practice meditation, my time was completely empty.

‘If I wanted to swing a sword, I already did it at dawn.’

Siron thought about what to do next, but no matter how much he thought about it, there was nothing he could do.

Siriel said that training through meditation takes more time than expected.

According to the schedule prepared by Yohan, Siriel spends about 4 hours a day learning and using mental techniques.

Siron had also allocated 4 hours of the day to that.

‘by the way. Why doesn’t he follow the class?’

After walking endlessly, Shiron, who was walking in the garden of the mansion before he knew it, turned to face Siriel who was groaning behind him.

“Siriel.”

“Yes?”

“Is it okay to skip the simbeop training today?”

Was it because he suddenly called out?

Surprised, Siriel froze for a moment, then tilted her head.

“…what is slitting? It’s the first time I’ve heard that word.”

“Are you saying it’s okay to drop out of simbeop training? Even if you couldn’t practice simbeop with me, you could have been with Lucia.”

At Shiron’s question, Siriel pondered for a while before opening her mouth.

“It’s just that I was worried about my brother and wanted to follow him.”

“Were you worried about me?”

“huh.”

Siron was a little surprised and burst out laughing, but Siriel lowered her head without laughing.

“Brother and Lucia. “It felt like a fight.”

“hmm…”

Siron tried to deny her words but stopped.

Perhaps it was because his dejected appearance made everyone feel weak, but he couldn’t think of an excuse.

When I thought about it, I couldn’t say that the atmosphere just a moment ago was particularly good. Siron imagined himself reflected from the outside.

‘Did it seem to Siriel that I was disappointed and ran away?’

I unintentionally caused concern.

I don’t know because I have no way to check the facial expression directly.

If Siriel, who had such a bright personality, was worried, Siron’s expression at that time must have been uncomfortable to see.

Siron chuckled and put his arm around Siriel.

“We didn’t fight, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Why are you smiling…”

Then Siriel lowered her head and kicked the stone. Because it felt like Siron was making fun of her.

Over the past few weeks, Siriel’s social skills have improved a lot. She can now read the mood and act without having to hear it directly.

“It’s just because you’re so special.”

Siron put his hand in his pocket and took out some candy. It was Siriel’s favorite lemon flavor.

“…”

With her favorite candy in front of her, Siriel hesitated for a moment.

But she couldn’t resist the temptation, so she closed her eyes and ate the lemon candy.

“Yes, yes. delicious.”

Siriel trembled slightly as if enjoying the sour taste.

In this way, Siron put candy in Siriel’s mouth every time she did something cute.

The number of candies he offered to Siriel had already begun to easily exceed double digits.

At first, it was a candy that was filled in the body as a personal preference, but now the purpose of raising Siriel’s favorability has become the main focus.

When you think about it, it was a strange thing.

In the game, even if it’s just an excessive amount of junk, if you look closely, there’s a place to use it like this. Currently, various items have been placed on Shiron’s body.

Chiron patted Siriel with the feeling of handling a tiger cub.

‘Please keep growing like this.’

That was Shiron’s small wish.

The emotions of a child who is not a reincarnated person or a possessor were not complicated, so it was easy to deal with.

‘Come to think of it.’

Chiron, who had been watching Siriel for a while, looked around.

Spring has just arrived, and the flowers are in full bloom.

I haven’t had a proper rest since I became possessed by the game.

The rest of my time, be it training or research, was spent impressing people in the game who might be useful in the future.

‘The mental method of accumulating and handling mana in the body… requires a little organizing of thoughts. Let’s think about it later.’

There’s nothing like taking a walk to clear your head. Chiron decided to look around the gardens throughout the mansion grounds.

“by the way.”

“huh?”

“Wouldn’t it be scolded later for missing the Simbeop class?”

“ah…”

“I don’t know about John, but I think your uncle will scold you.”

“Well, if you tell me well, it’ll be fine!”

After saying that, Siriel followed Siron as he walked through the garden.

If you look at it from the side, the word snap comes to mind.

Siriel, who even held hands, showed Siron around the garden.

After circling the mansion grounds several times, Siron was able to return to the annex.

The dry spring weather made him thirsty, so Siron pulled a water bottle from his shoulder.

A relic with the function of expanding inventory. This is the use that was revealed after absorbing that ability.

‘It’s still cold.’

The well water that came out in the early morning four days ago maintained its original temperature even though some time had passed.

In this way, Siron occasionally checked to see how far his current abilities could be utilized.

The ability that Siron called ‘storage’ was very useful, as it allowed the stored items to be removed from anywhere in the body without decay or damage.

‘The only things that can be used now are the abilities of the relic and the holy sword…’

Since I can’t circulate mana, I can’t naturally use the art of strong energy.

However, not being able to use strong skills was not a big problem for Siron. Because Siron had the Holy Sword, the sharpest sword in the world.

The sharpness of the holy sword was so great that it cut through the skin of Ophelia, the guardian of the Castle of Dawn.

‘It’s better than halfway strong.’

In this way, the means of attack was solved, but the means of defense was a problem.

If you can’t handle strong energy, it means that you can’t use self-defense, which raises your defense by putting a barrier of strong energy around your body.

Thanks to the system, the more you train, the more you can wait for your defense to naturally rise, but even so, it is not enough to protect yourself by wearing an invisible shell.

The buff, like a kind of armor, had the effect of nullifying damage below a certain level.

Lucia’s self-defense skills in her memory didn’t come out alive enough to be attacked by quite a few trash mobs.

Moreover, it is not even Lucia, but Shiron. It was extremely dangerous to play with a character that was no different from trash without even applying a buff.

Especially if you only have one life.

Siron took out a notebook from his pocket.

‘I should abandon the route of learning mana.’

Siron tore off some of the useless pages and threw them into the stove.

After dealing with Gangi, I was planning to go out and collect relics. One of the plans went completely wrong.

‘Next plan.’

Siron turned the pages of his notebook.

Results of the experiment. Objects in the ‘stored’ state could be retrieved not only from the hands and feet, but also from the mouth or the top of the head.

It could have even stopped the moment it was taken out.

One day, I briefly took out the holy sword with the tip of my finger.

I still vividly remember pressing my finger against the plate and tracing it, and the plate split neatly in half.

“…Is this going to work too?”

Suddenly, a curiosity arose. If I bring up an unequipped shield under my skin, will my attacks be blocked?

There was no hesitation. Siron took out a fork from the solar plexus.

Where should I take the picture? It didn’t take long to think about it. The place that is invisible to others is the thigh.

Siron struck down the fork with all his might.

Kang-!

The sound of sharp metal hitting each other was heard.

“…”

When I lifted my clothes, I saw four red dots. While the thigh was barely dripping with blood, the fork was crushed to a miserable state.

The relatively soft fork ended up getting stuck in the gauntlet just below the skin.

“This is it.”

A shiver ran through my whole body.

Siron quickly wrote down what he found out.

From noble mtl dot com

‘I guess most attacks can be blocked?’

And then a certain item came to mind.

[Shield of Chesed]

‘Reincarnation Sword God’ was a game that did not have a leveling system and the user could not directly adjust the difficulty of the game.

Should I say instead,

The difficulty of battle changes significantly depending on which characters the user encounters, which items to wear, and which options to choose.

Chesed’s shield, which nullified attacks it encountered, had deceptive abilities, but it also had a fatal problem.

However, Siron, who was unable to use his self-defense skills, was in no position to take risks.

Siron smiled pleasantly as a number of ways to use it came to mind, but a sad sigh came out of his smiling mouth.

Unlike the Holy Sword, which was easy to obtain because the starting area was Dawn Castle, Hesed’s Shield was located in Holy Emperor Island, where Siron cannot currently go.

‘It’s too dangerous a place to go now.’

You need to collect relics to become stronger, and in order to collect relics, you need to become stronger.

Resolving this contradiction is a priority.

‘Even so, it doesn’t mean that there is no way.’

Siron prepared to meet Hugo.

*

Hugo’s office.

“I’m going to do something crazy, so please give me permission.”

“Uhm…”

Hugo groaned at the words that came out of his nephew’s grim-faced mouth.
