Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 299: Indestructible Does Not Mean Invincible

[Attribute Swordsman Creating Ice Rinks][375]

[Compilation of Ninjas Popping Up Anywhere][786]

[ㅇㅎ) Comparison of Apple from Apple Girl and Silent Swordsman’s Apple][3095]

After a long time, Lee Eo-chan, who had slept for over three hours, lazily scanned through what had happened while he was asleep with a drowsy face.

"...What is this guy doing in a disciple-raising game?"

What is he, not even a fairy, wandering around with clouds? Now he's even making ice. Did he learn some technique from a unicorn that only virgins can use? It’s getting to the point where I’m seriously suspicious.

I think I heard something about how a virgin's strength weakens once they lose their purity...

"Who the hell would defile this guy's purity?"

A woman who seriously considers the possibility that he might be the strongest swordsman in the world, yet learned something like virgin techniques... that feels like cheating. It makes me a bit angry.

If he really learned it, that’s next level.

Shaking off the bleak imagination, Lee Eo-chan swallowed a pill containing all the daily necessary nutrients and calories with a glass of water.

It’s a luxury to have a grand meal when you're squeezing in gaming time instead of sleeping.

‘Well, at least I’m not as crazy as that guy who doesn’t sleep and plays the game all day.’

Eo-chan was about to board the capsule when his eyes wandered back to a thread, as if he couldn’t leave it alone.

[ㅇㅎ) Comparison of Apple from Apple Girl and Silent Swordsman’s Apple][3095]

He despised apples, but for some reason, he couldn't stop checking that apple.

The Garden of Eden.

Would Adam and Eve, banished for craving the forbidden apple, feel the same as he does right now?

The ㅇㅎ mark whispered, like a cunning snake, urging him to break the taboo, poking at his male instincts.

He needed to hurry up and log in.

But how could he not click on this?

Eo-chan closed his eyes and made a decision.

‘If I don’t look now, it’s going to bother me even more.’

How could he resist?

This was an unavoidable patriotic decision for smoother gameplay.

Despite knowing it was a pathetic excuse, Eo-chan clicked the post.

[Broadcast is starting.]

[Connecting to Gladiator Trainer.]

Three minutes later, Eo-chan logged into the game with a light face, as though he had unloaded a burden off his shoulders.

Though the entrance was light, the weight on his heart grew heavy in an instant.

"Did they really allow the ninjas to get this close to Hanyang?"

The delay tactics that had been attempted everywhere with ninja suicides were all useless in the face of Silent Swordsman's bizarre swordsmanship.

Instead of broken bridges, rivers were frozen; oil and fire traps were frozen solid by a single swing of the sword; even landslides were frozen into ice statues with one slash.

“Is this guy really meeting an Ice Dragon instead of a Cloud Dragon? Every time he swings his sword, it freezes everything!!”

Tactical victories are meaningless in the face of strategic goals, and personal victories are worthless in the face of tactical wins.

This fundamental understanding had been overturned.

The personal impotence that renders strategy useless.

A superhuman display that forces a re-examination of modern military theory.

"Did the Ninja Slayer... also lose?"

"At the point when all the previous attempts were nullified, they immediately ceased the delay tactics and retreated to the rear stronghold with all their forces."

"What about the rankers?"

"There are a total of seventeen rankers who fled from various places and those waiting in the capital. Half of them suffered defeat this time."

The cyber attendants, reporting instead of Armored Taeyang, who was focused on digesting Dragon Heart, had Eo-chan acknowledging the information.

"I don’t think we can beat Silent Swordsman like this."

The capital was only one step away.

The forces of Silent Swordsman were growing in scale.

Rather than draining his own energy, he had to prepare for being drained himself.

As long-time enemies of the Great Han Iron Kingdom, even the despicable beastfolk were crawling out, making it no longer viable to stay holed up in the capital.

Wasting time with delay tactics and stalling while the capital is besieged are completely different matters.

"I acknowledge it. The faction war is my loss."

He never imagined he would find himself in such a predicament in a game, one that had elevated his name as the ‘Iron Fist’ of the country.

But Gladiator Trainer's goal was to raise the best disciple through gladiatorial duels.

Building a nation or waging faction wars were merely supplementary elements to gather more capable and superior disciples.

"Who was the highest-ranked ranker that Silent Swordsman defeated?"

"Rank 4, Gastro."

"Any signs that they passed their rank to someone else?"

"No."

"Got it. At least one tactic worked."

By supporting the provinces, Eo-chan tied down Silent Swordsman’s movements.

This content is taken from freёnovelkiss.com.

This had originally been part of the strategy, but even a single tactic sometimes hides unseen truths or traps beneath the surface.

Eo-chan had calculated that local powerhouses would likely employ rankers to face Silent Swordsman in the future.

‘I, the strongest powerhouse, had to borrow the strength of Rank 2 Ninja Slayer, so they wouldn’t want to do otherwise, right?’

This psychology could only be understood by players who had spent a long time playing Gladiator Trainer, aware of how much they had to protect.

He led Ha Eung Eung to naturally rank high, and now it was time to reap the benefits of that strategy.

"The largest arena in the Great Han Iron Kingdom, <Surajun>, has opened a ranking battle! The challenger is Rank 1 Armored Taeyang, the opponent is Rank 4 Silent Swordsman!"

[Player Lee Eo-chan has applied for a ranking battle with disciple <Armored Taeyang>.]

[As a privilege of Rank 1, the challenger cannot refuse the duel.]

[In 15 days, the Surajun will determine the strongest warrior.]

A notice sent to all players through the public announcement!

[The disciples involved in the duel cannot be hostile to each other during this period.]

[This restriction also applies to their factions.]

[Victory and defeat will only be decided in the arena.]

[The victor will receive glory, the loser will bear a stigma.]

[The one who leads, do not allow others to overtake.]

[The one trailing, overcome your limits.]

[These are the sacred restrictions set by the God of Duels.]

When it seemed impossible to buy any more time, the duel forced an extension.

15 days.

The maximum period allowed by the system.

During this time, Silent Swordsman could do nothing to harm Armored Taeyang.

"Armored Taeyang, I’m putting all my faith in you!"

The large-scale event in Gladiator Trainer had been set.

Lee Eo-chan vs Silent Swordsman.

The decisive battle had been scheduled.

This is unreasonable.

To face the one who killed my master and not be able to strike back.

The frustration was overwhelming.

"Hahaha! You evil swordsman! Now that the duel is set, you’ll never be able to harm us!"

[Indestructible]

Even when he swung his sword in trial, only the discouraging "Indestructible" notifications appeared in front of Eo-chan and Armored Taeyang.

The strength he put into the sword seemed to vanish, as though sucked into a black hole.

But in front of Silent Swordsman...

"How about this~ How about that~ Are you mad now? Want to kill me? No damage, huh? Can't kill me, huh? Doesn’t that piss you off? You can’t do anything, huh?"

LMAO

Provoking Silent Swordsman, the mad swordsman

Is this the so-called national pride...?

System abuse, seriously good at it hahaha

Looks like a chance is being used

I wondered when he'd use it

Anyone else hate the invincible state?

Seriously annoying

But didn’t Silent Swordsman torment him nonstop without sleeping?

Evil swordsman vs evil swordsman

Who’s worse now?

Lee Eo-chan’s godlike trolling continues, now that he can safely engage in this kind of behavior legally.

[Cunning tactics, huh.]

"You might not know, but it’s a feature created for the game, right? No damage at all! No matter what happens! You’re mad now, right?"

Hahaha

Hahaha

This is insane

The evil swordsman who doesn’t think of tomorrow

Living for today hahahaha

Eo-chan had built up a lot of emotions over time.

It all started with Ha Eung Eung's million-won malicious donation.

Interrupting a crucial battle with cash.

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

The damage from that alone had made Eo-chan lose his mind, leading him to seek revenge and almost fail the subjugation mission.

After barely succeeding in the mission, here came the more terrifying Silent Swordsman’s forces, pushing him to the brink.

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

At the point where the capital was about to fall, the last resort of the Gladiatorial Challenge was activated!

If he didn’t taunt now, the game would have been a waste!

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

[Indestructible]

...But things were starting to get scary.

"Uh, teacher? I told you the damage isn’t going through?"

Despite Eo-chan's words, Silent Swordsman kept swinging his sword as if asking, “Is this not enough?”

The speed of the blade was so fast that the "Indestructible" messages started to obscure Eo-chan’s figure.

Wow;

The message speed is insane hahaha

So terrifying hahaha

If damage went through, they’d be cut to pieces, no corpse left

Eo-chan, you might actually die!!

Feeling increasingly anxious, Eo-chan cautiously stopped his taunting. That’s when a chill ran down his spine from Ha Eung Eung’s sword.

"Ah, it’s cold."

The power of the sword disappeared, but the cold wind could still be felt through his skin.

As he tried to button his coat to block the cold, he suddenly froze, realizing where the cold was coming from.

No, wait.

It must just be a coincidence, right?

With trembling eyes, Eo-chan hoped it was just a random gust of wind.

In front of him, Ha Eung Eung was smiling ominously, as if to say, "You’re in for it now."

A cold attack from an elemental sword.

Even if the sword was blocked, the chill still penetrated.
