Chapter 60 < Samurai Hearts - Towards the Ending (2) >
“Die!”
A soldier with bloodshot eyes thrusts his spear.
Dohyun, having the pointless thought that the soldiers all seemed to be shouting to die, swung Kenmyouren.
The wooden spear shaft snaps cleanly.
The reason he bothered to cut the spear shaft was to confirm whether parrying worked on the battlefield, and the result was as expected.
‘This confirms it.’
He wasn’t flustered because he had anticipated it.
Since Chapter 2, when he started on what people called the ‘Sword God Route,’ only enemies against whom parrying didn’t work had appeared.
Dohyun speculated that this was to prevent players who had become stronger through multiple playthroughs from progressing through the game too easily.
The parrying system was like a beginner assistance system of sorts.
‘Though the Great Success judgment is difficult for something like that.’
It was irrelevant to Dohyun, who had only received Great Success judgments from the start.
He instantly cut down the soldier who was faltering with the severed spear shaft.
After glancing at the falling corpse, he activated Sword Soul for the real battle.
Immense power filled his entire body.
The cloak he was wearing fluttered wildly.
The swords he held felt as light as twigs, and a heavy presence settled in with each step he took.
It was the result of investing all the Yul he had accumulated from defeating mobs and the large amount of Yul he had obtained from defeating boss monsters into Sword Soul.
