Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Sword Controller

Translator: 549690339

The horde of monsters surged towards the Tianfeng Building. They had just reached the entrance when the monsters in the front suddenly halted their steps with a look of horror and continued to retreat. The monsters behind could not slow down in time and directly crashed into them, causing a scene of chaos. The roars echoed under the Tianfeng Building;

Atop the building, a man in black grimaced, muttering irritably under his breath.

Hum-

The silver orb surrounding him began to vibrate violently, projecting an inch-long silver halo, inhaling and exhaling as if a living entity;

Seemingly sensing the formidable force, the monsters below trembled all over, lying motionlessly on the ground while emitting faint wails.

“Scram!” A single shout echoed from the top of the building, prompting hundreds of monsters to flee in disarray;

Song Jian, who was climbing the building, heard these remarks clearly. He looked out of the window and saw hundreds of monsters fleeing, including several Level 10 and 15 elite creatures, which made his blood boil;

“A powerful shout and the monsters are pacified, when will 1 have such strength…”wondered Song Jian whose eyes were filled with astonishment.

By the time Song Jian reached the rooftop, the man in black was still standing by the edge of it, leaning against the wind, while a silver metallic orb was slowly rotating around him;

“Magneto?” Song Jian blurted out involuntarily;

The man in black turned around, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

“I’m not Magneto, nor do I possess the X-gene. I can’t control metal. This is my weapon, the Sword Orb!”

Embarrassment flickered across Song Jian’s face. It seemed that many players had seen the man in black. Any player who saw the metal orb slowly rotating around him would be reminded of Magneto’s escape from jail in the movie “X-Men”.

“Are you a Sword Immortal?” Song Jian suddenly asked with a look of excitement;

“Sword Immortal?” The man in black was taken aback, then shook his head slowly, “A Sword Immortal is what 1 strive to become. Perhaps in the future, I will be a Sword Immortal, but not now. Currently, I am just a Sword Controller!”

Just as the man in black uttered the phrase “Sword Controller,” Song Jian was granted access to some of his attributes, which were previously obscured by question marks;

[LV86 Sword Controller – Duan Jian] (Elite): Vitality Points: ??? Spirit Points: ???; Traits: Immortal Sword Body, ???; Skills: Sword Retention, ???

“An elite BOSS of level 86? Even higher than the Dragon Hunter, Dierdeli Walker,” Song Jian was taken aback and hastily bowed, “Could you tell me about the special characteristics of the Sword Controller profession?”

Duan Jian gave a slight smile, scanning Song Jian before asking, “Can you wield a sword?”

Song Jian felt awkward. Although his secondary weapon was the blue-grade one-handed Guardian’s Sword, he had never in fact wielded it in combat. Even the passive skill [Cold Weapon (Sword Type) (Basic)] that he learned was only at level one and he had never attempted to upgrade it;

Song Jian responded, “1 have never encountered a swordsmanship master, so I’m reluctant to learn from the unskilled!”

Duan Jian paused, laughing heartily: “You are the second brazen person I’ve met. In honour of the first one, I’ll give you a chance!”

“Use the sword you carry to slaughter a level 15 elite monster. If you do, 1’11 tell you the meaning of a Sword Controller!” Duan Jian pointed at the Guardian’s Sword hung around Song Jian’s waist and spoke arrogantly;

“Can I only use this sword? Can’t 1 use other weapons?” Song Jian frowned and asked;

“Exactly. You can only use this sword. Once you employ a different weapon, even if you kill a level 15 elite monster, the trial will be deemed a failure. You will not need to see me again in such a case, otherwise, I will kill you!” Duan Jian stared coldly at Song Jian as he spoke;

“Can I use my personal skills?” Song Jian queried further;

Duan Jian hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded: “You can use the skills you have mastered, but ”

“Forget it. Let’s talk about it once you pass the test!” Duan Jian seemed to want to say something, but ultimately just waved his hand, signaling Song Jian to leave;

System: The Sword Controller and Battle Job Instructor, Duan Jian, gives you a challenge: Kill a level 15 Elite BOSS, 0/1; Challenge Requirements: Use your sword to kill a level 15 Elite BOSS; If any other weapon is used, the mission will fail immediately; Challenge time limit: 24 hours; Challenge Reward: Earn Duan Jian’s admiration and enlightenment about the “Sword Controller” profession; Challenge Punishment: Duan Jian will negatively change his attitude towards you by a large margin, and you will lose a chance to learn about the combat profession – “Sword Controller”;

Song Jian nodded his head, turned around, and left the rooftop;

To kill a Level 15 Elite Boss, which has at least three to four thousand vitality points, even when its attributes are halved during daytime, is almost impossible without the use of the Rocket Launcher or Tusk Fang Stinger skills. Coupled with the onslaught from five levels above him, the endeavor to singlehandedly hunt down a Level 15 Elite BOSS seemed like an impossible task to Song Jian;

Song Jian switched the “Guardian’s Sword” to his right hand and played with it as he walked along, trying to get a feel for it;

On leaving the Tianfeng Building, there were no monsters to be seen. Despite practicing for a while with the Guardian’s Sword, Song Jian still felt a bit awkward;

“First, let me find some regular monsters to get used to it, who knows, I might even learn some sword skills on my own!” Song Jian muttered to himself as he set off down a gloomy alley;

First, he would test his skills on a Level 15 regular monster. If he can’t even beat that, he might as well abandon the challenge.

In the dark alley lay a ragged human-formed zombie, appearing like a corpse. Yet Song Jian knew that as soon as he strayed into its alert zone, it would instantly awake, relentlessly chasing him until he was dead;

Earth Teeth Assault!

Before it could fully awake, he chose to deplete its vitality points;

The Tusk-energy ball lunged at the corpse and fiercely struck the zombie’s waist. This sent its body flying in the air;

Roar-

The mutant zombie slowly rose from the ground. Its blood-red eyes gradually opened, focusing on Song Jian and emitting a roaring sound;

“LV15 Mutant Zombie (Regular): Vitality Points 850/1700, Traits: Intermediate Defense, Primary Vitality Restoration; Skills: Gnaw”.

Seeing the mutant zombie pouncing towards him, Song Jian took a deep breath. Tightening his grip on the Guardian’s Sword, he sprinted towards the zombie;

Whoosh-

As soon as he neared, the sword in Song Jian’s hand sliced across the zombie’s head, inflicting over 60 critical damage points;

Experiencing pain, the zombie became more frenzied, waving its hands, while its mutated nails, sharp as mini blades, carved streaks of white in the gloomy alley;
