Blade Online Chapter 16

I was attacked by a humanoid monster that came out of the mud. Its name is Mud Golem. Its movement is quick in spite of coming out of the mud. It raised its fist and approach while leaving a track of mud in a part where it walked.
This 《Golem Mountain》 is literally a mountain of Golem. All the monster that came out are Golems. There seems a boss exist at the summit. This Mud Golem is the first monster that I encounter in this mountain.
I properly watched the movement of the Mud Golem while being careful not to trip on a rugged foothold. Its a good chance to check the performance of Perception Skill 【Mikiri Revision】 which I got when I defeated Gruvajio.
I opened my eyes widely that has mud and saw Mad Golem about to hit me. I saw the fist drawing near. The red like prediction line of 【Mikiri】didn’t came out. Instead, It seems like I “understand” the opponent’s presence of where the attack is going.Since I get tired of looking for prediction line each time, I obtained a good skill.
I evade the attack of the Mud Golem by lightly bending my body sideways, I cut off its head when it became full of openings. Though I heard that the whole body of Golem type monster are hard, but this guy. It got a softness that is like a tofu. While looking at the appearance of the Mud Golem disappearing that died in one attack in its vital points, I expressed a smile of composure.

The number of monster that came out when I continue to climb up. As many as 3 Mud Golem appeared at the same time. When I looked around, I saw a player that are having a hard fight with the increased Mud Golem. Just what are the level of these guys who are having a hard fight? While looking at the appearance of players that is fighting with all their might, I evaded the attack of the Mud Golems and cut them. It died by one hit just by properly aiming its vital points. And to think to have leeway even without using a skill.

「Hey, Isn’t that a Long Sword? Moreover, an Initial Equipment」「A Long Sword, Is this a lie? Did it just instant kill a Mud Golem?」

Surrounding players started to pay attention to me. Its troublesome. I’ll go to the top more.

The Rock Golem which is made from rocks and 2 Iron Golem which is made from Iron attacked at the same time and I evaded it with 【Reverberation】.
【Reverberation】 is a skill when an attacked of an opponent is about hit, you can be able to teleport to its blind spots. There’s no damage. As you might expected from a rare skill, its really convenient. 「When my opponent evaded my attacked, I’m already dead before I became aware that I was cut. The only last thing I heard is the reverberation of the sounds of myself being cut……』 is what written in the explanatory note of the skill but I didn’t understand it well.
When the fist of the Golem hit my body,my body became watery and disappeared with a 〈suu〉. I attacked with new skill【Vacuum Slash】 when I transferred behind the two.
I cut the empty s.p.a.ce with the Long Sword’s Blade. 【Vacuum Slash】 is a skill that can be able to attack distant enemies. The transparent blade cuts the body of the two Golem in half, their HP became 0. Normally, Its not a skill that can kill in one hit but since my level is high, Its possible to cut them in half.

Then I lightly annihilate monsters that obstructs my way and arrived at the resting place halfway to the summit. Players restore their Endurance and Stamina here. I avoided all the attack of the Golems and occasionally testing new skills, you could say that I’m uninjured. There is no reason to rest. I’ll go ahead. When I ignored the resting place and walked as it is towards to the summit, someone call me out in my back.

「Yo sonny, Its really unusual to have someone who use Long Sword nowadays.」
「Are you okay without resting?」

When I look back, There is a pair that have a blond hair which is really flash. They equip protective gears that uses some scales as materials, They both have a Great Sword in their backs. While expressing a disgusting grinning smile, one man go around my back and touch the Long Sword at my back.

「Hee~ It seems a quite high level like Long sword. Isn’t this wasted with you who have Initial Equipment?」
「Or rather, Why are you using Long Sword? Isn’t the Management says that its really low cla.s.s. Is your head alright using such weapon?」

Their way of speaking and att.i.tude makes me angry. These guys is certainly a type that would play around in their Job in real life. Trash.
I brushed off the hand that over-familiarly touching the long sword. Don’t touch it all over, 『Bloodstained Sakura』 would get dirty.

「Oh, You got guts, What are you? Are you picking a fight?」
「Do you want to one on one me? Hoy!」

There are guys like that in school. Gathering in the toilet many times and make a racket and make fun those they considered low cla.s.s. And when there is resistance, they will resort with violence and say ” Don’t get too high of yourself!” and ” One to one” and so on. I detest hoodlum type of people, that is why I got angry seeing such.
The surrounding players begun paying attention to us when they saw us having some kind of dispute. I heard such things as 「Isn’t that a Long Sword.」, but I ignored it. Because its tiresome to react every single time. I’ll tell you guys the might of Long Sword. I’ll send you flying if you got c.o.c.ky. Shall we have one on one? Haa?

「Annoying」

I muttered in scowling voice. 「haa?」, The two said expressing a half-smile while grabbing my shoulder.

「Not annoying!, Don’t get too c.o.c.ky!」
「In spite of being a Long Sword user, know your limits!」

I wonder why does the thing called delinquent bring their faces near whenever they talked ? Catching their breath is disgusting.
If one is careless, I would be challenged to a duel or something and it will became troublesome, that is so, its good to escape this place hurriedly. Come to think of it, there is no weak enemies in that forest so its perfect to understand that skill.

【Samurai’s Spirit】

Its a skill that does not consume Stamina. It is possible to lower the status of the opponent that is lower level than you. in addition, it is possible to threaten the opponent by force. Just by maintaining it, lower level opponent would not be able to activate their skills. The effect is shown by activating it to the determined opponent.

「uoo」
「owa」

I glared while activating it, the two’s body trembled with a start and withdraw back. The smile that was expressed until now is cramped and their lips twitch in spasm. Such people would not probably thought that they would foolishly pick a quarrel a high level player. I brushed aside the hardened two and walk again aiming for the summit. I heard in the back, 「Isn’t that just now a coercion type of skill?」「Does that mean that his level is way higher than those two?」 and other things but I ignore it.
