Overgeared Chapter 78:
Chapter 78
As many people knew, the highest waterfall in the world was Angel Falls in Venezuela . It was a huge 979m in height . Angel was Ángel in Spanish, so it was Ángel Falls . It was said that the name was due to the majestic and mysterious appearance of the fog at the bottom of the waterfall .
Of course, I saw that one day on TV . Anyway, it was a beautiful and mysterious waterfall reminiscent of angels! One of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world! Satisfy created a waterfall that was more spectacular, mysterious, beautiful and fantastic than Angel Falls .
That waterfall was located in the north of the Eternal Kingdom . Where in the north?
“Right here . ”
Kwaaaaaaah!
The north of Kesan Canyon . At the end of the canyon, there was a 1,300m high waterfall . The water vapor around the waterfall created a dreamy atmosphere . Rainbows appeared everywhere, making it seem like a fairy tale world .
I was overwhelmed by the intersection of rainbows and the fall of water .
“This is Loran’s waterfall that I had only heard about in rumors . ”
This waterfall was named after the discoverer of the waterfall, as well as the founder of the Eternal Kingdom, Loran . It was one of the most sacred places for the people of the Eternal Kingdom, but there were no tourists at all . It was because Kesan Canyon was too dangerous . The common people were afraid of the monsters in the canyon, so they didn’t dare come here .
Anyway, there would be few users who managed to visit this place .
Kuwaaaaaaaah!
“It’s really amazing . ”
Originally, I wasn’t someone who worshipped natural scenery . I had never visited any famous tourist sites in my life . So what if nature was beautiful? Would beautiful nature feed me? I used to belittle nature in my thoughts .
But my thoughts changed at this moment . I could understand why people visited such attractions .
“Amazing… I finally realize how insignificant and trivial the asphalt world I live in is . ”
The spectacular high-rise buildings designed and built by the world’s top architects? The majestic bodies that were registered as world heritage sites? They were nice and great . But it was nothing in front of nature .
My narrow world view expanded a bit, and I felt like my perspective had increased .
‘If I feel such excitement seeing a virtual reality landscape, how will the scenery in reality be like? Once I pay off the debt, I should go on a trip . Angel Falls, Iguazu Falls, the Amazon, the Grand Canyon… There are many other famous places . ’
I watched the waterfall in a pleasant mood . I regained my spirit .
“This is crazy . What am I doing? I need to go and find Pagma’s swordsmanship!”
The north cliff was just below Loran Falls . I searched the north cliff for any engravings about Pagma’s swordsmanship . But 10 minutes, then 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours passed… I couldn’t find Pagma’s swordsmanship .
I even climbed the cliff, but I couldn’t see anything that might be a mural . Before I knew it, sunset arrived . The rainbows cleared and the waterfall became touched with gold, creating a spectacular sight . It was like an illusion of pouring gold . But he couldn’t afford to keep looking .
“Hey . I am getting irritated . ”
Khan’s ancestor said that he engraved Pagma’s swordsmanship onto the north cliff! Was he lying? Did I come here and struggle in vain because of his lie?
“… I was a fool to trust a ghost’s words in the first place . ”
Originally, ghosts were evil! That’s why ghosts who appeared in horror movies were mostly ugly and cruel! Despite the fact that I had been on guard against ghosts for all my life, I was tempted by a ghost and sent on a wild goose chase .
“Kuoh! It is the worst mistake of my life…um?”
As I was feeling frustrated, my eyes suddenly noticed something at the back of the waterfall .
“Perhaps?”
In my middle school days, I admired the martial arts movies that were released half a century ago . When I watched those martial arts movies, there was always a cave at the back of the waterfall .
‘What if the creators of Satisfy watch the same martial arts movies as me…?’
I jumped into the waterfall . As I expected, there was a small cave behind the waterfall where murals of a man dancing with a sword were carved in a sequential manner .
“Wow . ”
Once again, ghosts were evil beings .
“That ghost…! I would’ve found it sooner if he explained that the place was behind Loran Falls . Why did he say the north cliff? No, dammit . If he wasn’t Khan’s ancestor, I would go and kick him . He is Khan’s ancestor, so I will spare him!”
… Could the ghost hear my voice? I looked around nervously because I was afraid that the ghost would appear, before examining the murals . The murals were carved a long time ago and were very old and dim . But there were no difficulties seeing the contents .
“This is Pagma’s…”
The face of the man in the mural had hawk-like eyes . He had the slender egg-shaped face, lips and eyes that were popular among women .
“Shit… Pagma was handsome…”
I thought Pagma would have a macho appearance, like the blacksmiths I had seen so far . But he had a slender and neat appearance . I disliked handsome and skilled people, so my favorability towards Pagma dropped exponentially .
“…I am thinking about the appearance of an already dead person . ”
I concentrated on the murals .
“That is Dainsleif . ”
Based on the proportions in the mural, Pagma was considerably tall . Nevertheless, the greatsword in Pagma’s hands was much larger than Pagma . This proved that the greatsword was Dainsleif . In fact, the total length of Dainsleif was close to 3m and 20cm .
“How amazing . ”
However, Pagma in the mural was freely wielding Dainsleif with one hand . His strength was incompatible with his body, and he seemed as elegant as a butterfly . It was a swordsmanship that expressed a powerful strength and a gentle softness . How was that possible? Through the murals, I could see Pagma’s swordsmanship that reached the peak .
I examined the murals from start to finish .
“What? Why haven’t I learned Pagma’s swordsmanship?”
I thought that if appreciated this mural, I would naturally acquire Pagma’s swordsmanship . But it was strange . It seemed like I couldn’t learn it just by examining the murals .
“Do I have to touch it…?”
I laid my hands on the mural . But I didn’t acquire Pagma’s swordsmanship .
“What? If I couldn’t obtain it from looking or touching, how could I learn it? Did I have to follow the actions in the mural?
… Was that really the case? I had to reproduce and acquire Pagma’s swordsmanship directly with my body!
“Ah, annoying…”
But it couldn’t be helped, no matter how annoying . I grumbled and pulled out the Ideal Dagger . Then I copied Pagma’s swordsmanship shown in the murals . At first, I couldn’t get used to it . So I tried again . I was still lacking and started again from the beginning .
Three hours later . How many times did I follow the swordsmanship in the murals? I sat down and breathed roughly because Pagma’s swordsmanship took more energy than expected .
“I…can’t do it . ”
I memorized the swordsmanship in the murals after repeating it several times . However, I failed to reproduce the movements . Come to think of it, I had never once danced in my life .
“I went to clubs several times, but I don’t remember dancing properly . I see . Hahaha! I was born with two left feet! So it’s hard for me to learn Pagma’s swordsmanship . ”
… No!
“Crazy!”
A game skill that I couldn’t learn unless I knew how to dance? What type of nonsense was this?
“There can’t be a skill that can’t be learned unless I know how to dance . There’s clearly another reason . ”
After that, I struggled to find a reason while examining the murals . Then I noticed some moss at the last mural .
“Surely the last part of the mural isn’t covered by moss? Haha, there wouldn’t be such a foolish development . ”
It couldn’t be, but I brushed away the moss just in case . Then I saw it . Another mural was hidden by the moss .
Then a notification window popped up .
[Pagma’s swordsmanship has been acquired . ]
[You have completed the first class quest . Return to Blacksmith Khan . ]
“… I, what have I been doing for the last few hours?”
This **** thing… My hands shook . I wasted my time and stamina due to the moss! I wanted to rip off the moss and curse . But I refrained . I didn’t want to waste more time on the moss when I had already learned Pagma’s swordsmanship .
“This **** moss…you are lucky . ”
I stomped on the moss that I had already taken off the wall . Then I took deep breaths . What was the identity of the swordsmanship that pierced the sky? Was it a passive skill like Sword Mastery? Or was it a powerful attack skill?
Whatever the case, it was necessary for me who lacked combat skills . I was filled with joy and hurriedly opened the skills window . Then I was able to confirm that Pagma’s swordsmanship far exceeded my expectations .
