Chapter 348
“I’m stuck at the last wall blocking my ultimate goal . I’m asking for a spar with you in order to break that wall . ”
“Hoh, the ultimate goal you are aiming at . The goal must be…”
They were meaningful words .
Piaro asked carefully, “Is it becoming a sword saint?”
Kraugel didn’t deny it .
“That’s right . ”
“Haha . ”
Sword Saint . It meant a saint of the sword . A person who reached the extremes of swordsmanship and received enlightenment was always the strongest in history . Muller, who managed to suppress and seal the bodies of the great demons like Hell Gao, Drasion, Morax, Astaroth, and Purpu .
After Muller, no sword saint had been born in the last 100 years . Now Kraugel was close to reaching a level that even Piaro couldn’t achieve .
‘He has enough talent . ’
Piaro had been very amazed when he first met Kraugel . It was because Kraugel’s talent was higher than the person who was praised as the strongest swordsman on the continent . Yes, Piaro had seen through him from the beginning . If there was a person who would surpass him one day, it would surely be Kraugel .
‘But . ’
He felt strangely irritated after seeing Kraugel’s growth .
‘I never even saw the threshold…’
Duguen .
Duguen! Duguen!
His heart beat wildly . The fighting spirit that had been lost since becoming a farmer was currently wriggling . This uncontrollable fighting spirit made his blood become hot like lava .
“Are you qualified?”
Was he qualified to achieve something that even Piaro, a legend, couldn’t do? Kraugel read Piaro’s feelings from his provocative question and made a serious expression .
“Please check it for yourself . ”
Just as Piaro was always the strongest, Kraugel was the same . He was always aware of his position as the peak of two billion users . He didn’t consider himself inferior to others, and was filled with passion and pride . For him, Piaro was a good friend as well as a mountain that must be surpassed .
“I will apply for a spar . Do you accept?”
“Of course . ”
Piaro nodded . This would allow Kraugel to achieve the quest prerequisites .
[Sword Saint]
Difficulty: SSS
Win against a legend .
It was a simple and clear quest, assuming that he could meet a legend . But the degree of difficulty was high enough to be described as absurd . A person who wasn’t a legend had to win over a legend? This was indeed…
‘Interesting . ’
That’s right . Rather than grumbling or being disgusted like a regular person, he felt delighted . New challenges were necessary to increase his passion . On the other hand, Hurent doubted his ears .
‘Sword saint? A sword saint! It can’t be!’
There were only one other person who was a candidate for a sword saint . Hurent stared at the man in the straw hat . He wanted to look at the skill of a sword saint candidate . He left the field and followed after Piaro and the man .

“Stab . ”
“Hiyap!”
“Cut . ”
“Haap!”
“Chop . ”
“Huriyat~!”
The war 10 days ago had awakened Reidan’s soldiers . Reidan’s soldiers no longer wasted time complaining during the practical training . They needed strength to protect their family, home, lover, and friends!
They couldn’t be lazy because they felt the importance of it through the war . Now, even if Asmophel didn’t force them, the soldiers enthusiastically immersed themselves in training and wanted to increase its intensity .
Their grudge against Grid melted away . They felt greater loyalty than before .
He trained them in anticipation of the enemy’s invasion, showed them a great dance on the battlefield and gave them the most powerful ‘Mass Produced Grid Set,’ so the soldiers felt respect and thanks .
“How about it, young lord? These brave young men are soldiers of Duke Grid . Aren’t they really reliable?”
Asmophel asked with a confident expression . Lord sighed as he watched the soldiers’ training from within Ruby’s arms .
“Abu… Bububu . ”
“…?”
Asmophel was stunned . Lord’s attitude and disgruntled expression seemed like he was saying, ‘The level of the soldiers is poor . ’
‘What?’
The young lord could understand his words and answered them? Furthermore, he could see the strength of the trained soldiers? No, how could a baby sigh in the first place?
‘…Was I dreaming for a moment?’
Asmophel wasn’t convinced and felt confused in many ways . Ruby smiled at him .
“It hasn’t even been a month since my nephew was born . How can he understand your words? Don’t pay attention to the baby’s reactions . ”
“…Yes . ”
Yes, he was interpreting it in the wrong way . Asmophel nodded at Ruby’s words, while Lord pointed elsewhere with his fingers . It was the direction of the magic tower .
“Oh my, does this mean you want to see where the magicians are?”
Ruby asked and Lord nodded . Asmophel saw him and was terrified .
‘You really are aware of our words!’
He heard that Lord was a genius, but he thought it was exaggerated . Now it turned out that the rumor actually downplayed it .
‘Being able to communicate with adults less than a month after being born… There is no doubt that he will be an outstanding scholar or magician in the future . ’
It was understandable that he should think so . Lord didn’t respond to the strong soldiers of Reidan because he didn’t have the knowledge .
‘He was born with intelligence, not the eyes to see martial arts . ’
The moment Asmophel thought this .
“I want to use this place, so can you ask the soldiers to leave?”
Piaro, a long-time friend and commander of Reidan, visited and asked for help . He was supposed to be doing field work at this time, so Asmophel questioned him .
“What will you be doing?”
Piaro pointed to the man in the straw hat who came with him .
“I am going to spar with this friend . ”
“Hoh . ”
Asmophel detected Kraugel’s strength with one glance and expressed interest .
‘He’s difficult to measure . ’
It was the first time he had seen this since Piaro . Asmophel checked the schedule and ordered the soldiers .
“Go around the desert once . ”
The desert around Reidan was vast, but Asmophel spoke it easily . Frankly, it was a tall order . Yet the soldiers replied enthusiastically .
“Yes!”
They would run until they died . This was the current attitude of the Reidan soldiers . The soldiers got ready and left the training grounds at noon .
Then the huge training grounds that could accommodate thousands of people only contained Piaro, Kraugel, Asmophel, Ruby, and Lord . There was a total of six people if Hurent was included .
He thought he had gone unnoticed, but Hurent had been caught from the beginning . Asmophel approached him as he watched from behind a huge tree .
“Outsiders aren’t allowed in this place . ”
“Heok?”
Hurent was startled . He hid himself as much as possible using aura, but he was still found in an instant? This person called Asmophel, he definitely had great skills like Piaro .
‘Where did Grid collect all these monsters?’
Hurent was a famous ranker, but he didn’t have much experience with named NPCs . Acquiring named NPCs as subordinates? He never even imagined it . Named NPCs had a strong influence on Satisfy’s world and each one had a distinct personality, making it hard to become friends with them .
Hurent was admiring Grid when Asmophel urged him .
“Aren’t you going to leave?”
“Hrmm . ”
Hurent didn’t want to step back . He wanted to peek at the skills of the man in the straw hat .
“Can’t I just watch a little bit?”
Asmophel glanced coldly at Hurent .
“Why should I do such a favor for an outsider?”
He disliked repeating the same words . Hurent shrank back at his pressure . A heat spread through his body .
‘When did I become an aura master?’
After being defeated by Grid in the 1st National Competition in five seconds, he hunted and trained repeatedly, raising his aura to the unique rating . He believed he was the strongest . He was sure he could beat the famous Kraugel and Agnus . His confidence soared into the sky .
However, his confidence crashed down after he met Piaro . A legendary farmer had oppressed him with three blows from a hand plow, so he had to question his own abilities .
Therefore .
“I will back off…”
Hurent decided to retreat . This was the first time in his life that he had acted as a mild sheep . Hurent swallowed down his shame and left the training ground . He couldn’t help wondering . He had always reigned as the strongest except for the 5 second event, so why was he so weak here?
This Reidan, it was extraordinary . It felt like Alice in Wonderland .
***
Saintess Ruby .
Grid’s sister and a high school student . Her goal was to aim for a prestigious university, so there was little time to play the game . She played for 30 minutes a day . That’s why her level was still low, despite changing to a hidden class alongside Yerim . She was a real light user .
But she had changed recently . It was since Lord was born . He might be a child in the game, but he was her cute and pretty nephew . Ruby looked at Lord and became fascinated by him . She recently spent more than an hour a day connecting to Satisfy and spending time with Lord .
It was the same today . She was enjoying a peaceful time while holding Lord in her arms . Lord was very happy to spend time with his beautiful aunt . He enjoyed his aunt’s soft and nice scent . But there was a limit for babies .
“Hrmm . ”
Lord started to yawn . It was the signal that it was nap time .
“I must go back now . ”
It was time to return to reality . It happened when Ruby was about to leave the training ground and log out .
Chaaeng!
Kraugel and Piaro clashed with each other .
“Abu?”
The sleepiness suddenly fled from Lord’s eyes .
“Abu! Abuuuu!”
Lord shouted excitedly, waving his short arms . His blue eyes shone as he watched the confrontation between Kraugel and Piaro . Asmophel was astonished when he saw it .
‘The young lord…!’
He didn’t see Reidan’s soldiers as ‘poor’ because he didn’t have the ability to see martial arts .
‘It is because his vision was too high!’
The man in the straw hat wielded his sword at Piaro . And the legendary Piaro . The two people caught Lord’s interest . Asmophel trembled . It was difficult for him to figure out what Lord’s character would grow into later on .
“Abuoo-!”
Lord was touched by the confrontation between the two people and gradually grew . The child could instinctively feel it . The fact that one of his future seven mentors was in front of him .
“I’m stuck at the last wall blocking my ultimate goal . I’m asking for a spar with you in order to break that wall . ”
“Hoh, the ultimate goal you are aiming at . The goal must be…”
