Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

The Second Alien (3)

Alejandro, who had healed the injury, spat out a rough breath.

“Huh, I almost died…”

Even though the bracelet had healed his wounds, it didn’t seem to restore his energy.

He looked fatigued.

Ryu Han-bin looked at the opponent’s right wrist.

[Absolute Cure’s Bracelet (Artifact): 2/3 times a day.]

‘You mean he can do that two more times?’

Well, it didn’t matter.

‘I just need to give him two more fatal injuries.’

Han-bin moved on his toes.

A massive 190 centimeters tall giant silently approached and hit Alejandro.

The middle-aged man quickly fought back.

Unfolding another Magic Swordsmanship technique, flames and lightning soon danced across them.

A chain of roars erupted in succession as a windstorm was summoned on the deserted mountain path.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fought with all he had, but Han-bin remained dominant.

With one full swing, he sliced through Alejandro’s defense and hacked deep into his shoulder.

The cut was so deep it almost completely incapacitated his arm.

“Tsk, heal!”

His injury swiftly disappeared. The bracelet only had one use remaining.

The warrior continued to swing his greatsword as if dancing to the tune of chaos and destruction.

His enormous blade broke through the Magic Swordsmanship again, this time burrowing deep into the opponent’s waist.

“Ugh……”

The gaping wound caused his intestines to spill out, but his body was immediately returned to its original state due to the Artifact’s ability.

Paaats!

With the light of healing, Alejandro was saved.

Han-bin looked at his wrist again.

[Absolute Cure’s Bracelet (Artifact): 0/3 times a day.]

‘It’s over.’

With a satisfied smile, he changed his tactics.

His attacks became less destructive and instead focused on simply knocking Alejandro out.

He also purposely aimed at the parts of Alejandro’s body that wouldn’t threaten his life.

“He has more uses alive than dead.”

The person he was fighting against was an Earthling.

He had to capture him somehow to get valuable information.

Han-bin struck through Alejandro’s thigh, causing a flash of light to emerge, followed by a splatter of blood.

With blood gushing out of him, Alejandro could only kneel down.

“Ugh…”

He bound the opponent’s feet.

Han-bin was just about to take a step, convinced that he had caught him.

Alejandro raised his left hand and screamed.

“Heal!”

Yet another ray of light enveloped his wound and healed it.

Ryu Han-bin was confused.

‘I’m sure he had used up the Artifact. Is there an error again?’

Then it dawned upon him.

The healing light wasn’t flowing from Alejandro’s right wrist.

He had another bracelet in his left hand.

The Guidelines revealed the identity of the bracelet.

[Absolute Healing Bracelet (Artifact)

Casts Level 65 Supreme Healing on the wearer.

Terms of use Lv. 70. Number of Uses: 2/3 times a day.]

“… Another one?”

* * *

Just in case, Ryu Han-bin activated the search function.

Rather than focusing on the target’s image, he focused on his opponent’s armor and accessories.

The Guidelines provided multiple sections of information.

[Polymorph Necklace (Unique Item)]

[Absolute Cure’s Bracelet (Artifact)]

[Absolute Healing Bracelet (Artifact)]

[Absolute Healing Belt (Artifact)]

[Absolute Cure’s Gauntlets (Artifact)]

[Absolute Cure’s Breast Armor (Artifact)]

[Absolute Cure Pants (Artifact)]

[Absolute Healing Boots (Artifact)]

“…….”

All Artifacts had the same ability except for the necklace.

Each Artifact could be used thrice daily to cast high-level healing magic on the wearer.

Ryu Han-bin shouted in frustration.

“Are you crazy? Are all you have healing items?”

How many times did he have to kill him?

Even cats would cry in envy if they knew how many lives the bastard had.

“If you’re a Magic Swordman, you should be damage-boosting items. Why would you bring healing items?”

Alejandro refuted Han-bin’s criticism with an unfair tone.

“Do you think this world is a game? My damage itself is enough combined with my abilities. However, I only have one chance at life unless I bring items like these.”

Instead of shouting, his expression turned strange.

“… Huh? Wait.”

Damage-boosting items? Healing items?

“You are an Earthling!”

If he were a Latnain, he wouldn’t have known about those terms.

Furthermore, it was impossible to check Artifacts at a moment’s notice without the Guidelines.

Ryu Han-bin clicked his tongue.

“Oops…”

He wanted to hide his identity for as long as possible, but he was too amazed to suppress his Earthling knowledge.

‘Ah, this guy was also talking to himself.’

Upon using the Guidelines, Han-bin’s old habit unavoidably came out.

Alejandro tried to calm himself down while he had the chance.

“As I thought, you’re also a Suitor.”

He carefully reflected on his battle against Ryu Han-bin.

“You’re definitely not an ordinary guy, but…”

His power and speed were really tremendous.

He had fought against high-level Aura users before, but their physical power was nowhere near as overwhelming as Han-bin’s.

Nonetheless, one thing was clear.

‘He can’t use Aura.’

He also had neither Magic Tools nor Artifacts equipped.

He only fought using his sword and his fists and legs.

‘If so, I need to change my strategy.’

He had decades of combat experience.

He still had enough healing items to fight.

Alejandro was humiliated for ignoring the giant in front of him because he thought he was a Latnain, but he would not make the same mistake.

“I’ll show you the power of a veteran!”

-Magic Sword: Shaking Thunder

Alejandro’s four lightning strikes all slithered towards Ryu Han-bin.

Han-bin lifted his greatsword and ripped it apart.

Jig! Jig! Jig!

He was about to chase after him again but was stopped in his tracks abruptly.

-Force Wave!

Alejandro jumped backward and shot a shockwave at Han-bin.

It wasn’t intended to damage him but rather to increase the distance between them.

The moment he landed, he prepared another technique.

-Magic Sword: Five Flames!

Five flame swords soared through the space between them, went past Han-bin, and ricocheted around to attack from behind.

The attack was going to hit his back. He had no choice.

Han-bin rotated around, swinging his sword with his motion.

“Taaassh”

The flame swords that flew in from behind him were easily extinguished.

However, Alejandro was able to widen his distance again due to that.

Ryu Han-bin clicked his tongue while staring at the faraway opponent.

‘Now it turned out like this?’

If it were a close match, he would win.

He could easily defeat Alejandro in a melee fight.

He was superior in defense, power, and speed.

But matches, where the enemy refused to come close, gave him headaches.

No matter how powerful he could swing his sword, its blade would never reach anyone farther than its reach.

His attacks were strong enough to release shockwaves, at least.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

Alejandro trembled as he was sent stumbling by the sword’s sheer force.

‘He’s not using Aura, but his attacks have the same effects as Aura! It’s weird!’

Physically speaking, it made no sense.

Still, the fact of the matter was it was happening right in front of his eyes.

Taaaaats!

Ryu Han-bin continued to rush, overflowing with energy.

Alejandro also continued his hit-and-run tactic.

As one kept retreating, the other tirelessly chased it.

Their battle caused the earthen grounds to split, the skies to bring forth storms, ancient trees to die, and explosions to occur repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Little by little, the distance between the two began to narrow.

Alejandro had a good tactic at play, but Ryu Han-bin’s sheer speed was superior to Alejandro.

‘Damn it!’

Alejandro, becoming impatient, pulled out his secret trick.

He began to cast his strongest, level 75 Magic Swordsmanship technique.

-Magic Sword: Flowing Star!

A streak of blue flashes aimed at Ryu Han-bin’s heart surged forth.

Surprised, Han-bin turned around.

A flash of light passed through his thick shoulders.

Paaats!

Blood splattered as pain entered him.

Alejandro gnashed his teeth.

“Did I miss him?”

Ryu Han-bin looked at his shoulder with a stiff face.

“…….”

Since he came to the Latna Continent, he had never met an enemy strong enough to make him draw blood until now.

‘Yeah, I can’t ignore that technique.’

In terms of stats alone, he was far superior, but Alejandro had the advantage in technology and techniques.

If he let his guard down, he might get caught.

‘He still can’t kill me in one shot, though.’

Han-bin’s expression became serious.

‘I have to deal with his Artifacts first.’

* * *

The big man kicked the ground.

Boom!

The distance between the two was zeroed out with the explosion.

Han-bin displayed a higher level of speed.

At the same time, the black greatsword was stretched forward as far as possible.

He used the first-ever skill he unlocked. It was a simple thrust, but it was powerful.

-Stab!

He wasn’t fast enough to avoid it.

Alejandro’s entire left body was crushed.

“Ugh!”

Flipping back, he triggered an Artifact.

“H-heal!”

The number of times he could heal was reduced once more.

If Han-bin continued to inflict fatal injuries against him, Alejandro would eventually exhaust all of his Artifacts.

But how many artifacts did that guy have?

‘There are still five or six more left, maybe?’

It meant that he had to do this more than a dozen times.

‘But I have no intention of doing such crazy things!’

Suddenly, Ryu Han-bin stabbed his black greatsword into the ground.

With his hands emptied, he charged at his opponent once more.

‘Why is he throwing away his weapon?’

Puzzled, Alejandro continued his tactic.

-Magic Sword: Shaking Thunder

Quack! Quack! Quack!

A lightning zap hit Ryu Han-bin, causing a series of explosions.

But it didn’t slow down his charge.

“If I’m prepared to take the hit, then I’ll be able to endure it!”

Han-bin, who quickly narrowed the distance, reached out and grabbed Alejandro’s throat.

“First, grab it!”

He lifted the opponent and tore off the whole upper body armor with the other hand!

Jig!

Alejandro’s armor, Absolute Cure’s Breast Armor, was torn off of him in one pull.

The middle-aged man’s eyes grew like a bull.

‘Did he just tear off an Artifact with force?’

He couldn’t understand how that was possible.

It would’ve taken a tremendous amount of strength to do that.

The same amount of force needed to destroy a Lich with just pure brute force.

‘This guy! This guy killed Shin Ha-joon!’

Han-bin’s rude touch continued.

It was not enough to tear off the upper body armor, so this time he aimed for his feet.

“Is this shoe also a healing item?”

“U-ugh!”

Frightened, Alejandro swung his twin blades.

But it was too close to make an effective hit.

Han-bin’s thick muscles blocked the attack before he could swing it properly.

Pop! Pop!

Ripping off the shoelaces, the Artifact, Absolute Healing Boots, came off.

His next target was the belt.

Brak!

The Absolute Healing’s Belt broke, and his pants became loose.

This time, he ripped off the pants as if he had been waiting.

It was also a healing Artifact.

Jig!

Alejandro screamed in terror.

“Ah, ah! You crazy bastard! “

* * *

Artis watched the fight before his eyes with a blank expression.

“…….”

The muscular giant eagerly stripped the helpless middle-aged man.

He took off the shoes, armor, bracelets, and then.

“Go away! You crazy bastard!”

“You are funny! I’m holding on to you. Do you think I’ll let you go?”

It was a rare and strange sight to behold.

Eventually, all of the Artifacts the man was wearing had all been torn off by Ryu Han-bin’s hand.

Shaking his hand, he stuck his tongue out.

“Ah, I almost peeled everything off. I can now say I’ve done all sorts of things in my life.”

Alejandro, who was stripped down to his underwear, gritted his teeth.

“You son of a bitch!”

Han-bin laughed as he grabbed his greatsword.

“You can’t use healing techniques anymore, right?”
