Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

Bang—!

As I kicked off the ground, Lim Ga-eul cast a skill at the Devil.

"Super-Slow!"

My speed had already increased, and now the enemy's speed was slowed down even further.

This changed my perspective.

I could see the veins protruding all over Yeon Woo-jin's body writhing, and the blood flowing within them. I could even see the process of his muscles swelling and transforming into a giant hand.

It was supposed to happen in an instant, but now every detail was vividly clear.

'...…I understand why Lim Ga-eul did what she did.'

I didn't agree, but I empathized. From her perspective, the enemy was as good as frozen in time. It was only natural that she would feel a sense of omnipotence.

In fact, if Lim Ga-eul had just a little more offensive power, she would have insisted on finishing him off herself.

'But even if you know the strategy, he's still a pretty annoying opponent.'

Slash—

I sliced through the arm that had started to swell thickly, but before it could fall off, the severed end oozed blood like jelly and quickly reattached.

Yeon Woo-jin's regeneration ability had been enhanced by the devil's possession.

Kwaang!

Yeon Woo-jin's giant hand slammed into the ground, causing a massive vibration and a shockwave that dislodged a hanging light from the ceiling.

But it wasn't a problem since Instructor Baek Seol-hee had already taken the hostages out. She was probably transporting them to a safe place right now.

I watched the scene and calmed my mind.

'The standard strategy for taking down Yeon Woo-jin is to use a special attack with a high number of hits per second…'

Even with his regeneration ability, he would die if he was killed a thousand times.

It might seem like a tedious grind, but if you have a special attack that deals over a hundred hits in one blow and aim for a one-hit kill against his squishy body,

It's an incredibly easy opponent that can be taken down with just ten attacks or so.

But I was a close-range dealer specialized in one-on-one combat, with high damage per hit.

'Well, I could just slash him a thousand times, but that's not really my style…'

I had already figured out how to take down Yeon Woo-jin with swordsmanship alone a long time ago.

Even though a demon had possessed his body, regeneration was still Yeon Woo-jin's trait, so the strategy should still work.

I twisted my ankle and turned my body, cutting off the same arm again.

Crunch.

Crunch.

Three times, for now.

The number of times the right arm was cut off and reattached.

Enraged, Yeon Woo-jin turned to me, grinding his teeth, then suddenly pulled up the corners of his mouth.

"Kuhkuhkuh…"

He smirked and laughed.

"This body… an immortal body. I may not know much, but I like this one…! With this, I can buy time until I regain my strength!"

The guy arrogantly crossed his arms as if he wasn't going to move anymore.

"Go ahead, keep slicing! I wonder which will come first, your exhaustion or my recovery!"

The demon had no idea what he was talking about.

'I'll gladly oblige.'

An immobile enemy?

Honestly, it was too easy to the point of being yawn-inducing.

Oops, I almost did the same thing as Lim Ga-eul.

No, I mustn't.

Even now, Sophia was furiously pointing her camera at this place.

I swung my sword again.

Since the enemy wasn't moving anyway, I did it mechanically like a factory worker.

Slice— slice—

This time, I sliced his left arm twice.

Slice slice slice slice—

And his right leg four times.

Slice—

His left leg once.

I cut off his limbs just as I remembered them.

"I would've told you it's pointless…"

Even if it reattached, the feeling of his body being continuously sliced off was still unpleasant, so he growled threateningly.

Hmm.

But, could he still spout such nonsense after taking this hit?

I stopped in front of him and stared at him.

"Kukuku. Have you given up now? Yes, I have descended, and this world is now beneath my feet—"

As he rambled on, three seconds passed.

Slice—

I beheaded Yeon Woo-jin.

Then, I sheathed my sword while spinning my body.

Next, a one-hit kill skill.

[Lampo]

Swoosh—

As I drew my sword from its sheath, I passed through him.

However, Yeon Woo-jin's severed head, floating in the air, still wore a nonchalant expression.

He probably thought he would regenerate again.

But.

Crunch—

Crunch—

A bone-chilling sound rang out, and his body contorted randomly, swelling up like a balloon.

And the head, which had fallen from the air and reconnected to the body, could no longer maintain its nonchalant expression.

Even his face began to swell like a giant balloon.

"Wh, what the…! What the hell is this─!!!"

Thud.

As I sheathed Moonlight,

Boom!

His body exploded.

'As expected, this strategy works here too?'

If this didn't work, I would've had to grind a thousand times to kill him.

To be honest, I don't know why this works.

It's just…

'A bug.'

As I finished him off effortlessly, I started walking towards Sophia and Lim Ga-eul when—

Ring─♪

An unexpected ringtone sounded in my head.

'What, what is this…? I didn't even call up my status window?'

[ You have acquired a title. ]

'A title? Out of the blue!?'

My eyes widened as I stared at the semi-transparent message window in front of me.

Titles are usually given when one's reputation becomes well-known among people.

Now, I had acquired various new titles that had been attached to me.

'Unconscious Flirting dispenser', 'Cliff-top C', 'Homme Fatale', 'Destroyer of Food', 'Birdbrain'… titles that made no sense at all.

But it was a different story when the status window gave me a title.

'…Is this it? The one given to the first person to achieve a feat in the game?'

" First Achievement Title "

I had played Velvets quite a lot, but I had only received one such title.

It was the 'Scrooge' title I got for defeating a boss without using any of the items provided.

There was a reason why I had only received one such title.

The first achievement titles could only be obtained by one person, and by the time I started playing, the rich kids had already swept up all the titles.

I had once tried various things to get these titles, but since I didn't know the achievement conditions, I eventually gave up.

It was something that could only be obtained by chance upon chance, so I had just given up on it…

'But why did it appear here all of a sudden?'

[ [ Title – Slayer of the Impossible. Devil Slayer ] ]

The reason why I had coveted these first achievement titles so much was because of the special attributes that came with them!

'Crazy. This is such a broken ability!'

In the world of Velvets, what was the most annoying thing?

Need I say more? It was the demons and the devil race.

Regular monsters and boss monsters were already known, and there were enough strategies to deal with them,

To be honest, if my stats were good enough, it wouldn't be impossible to achieve a no-death clear.

But I had faced many unexpected defeats against devils that didn't match my attributes, and the bosses that even I had to be careful about with their one-turn kills were all devil.

So, to get an additional 10% damage against all demons and devil beings?

This was truly a stroke of luck.

'…Could it be that I got this because I defeated a devil being?'

I had only defeated a severely nerfed devil being that possessed Yeon Woo-jin, but it seemed that it still counted as a devil kill.

'Well, I am probably the first one to defeat a devil being at this point.'

I nodded, satisfied with this unexpected turn of events.

But I was still underestimating the significance of this achievement.

Ring─♪

The bell rang again.

[ Your rank has increased. The stars are aligned in your favor. ]

My body trembled at the familiar message.

'A rank increase…!?'

I had initially relied on my early game wealth to compete with 4-star characters, and with Baek Seol-hee's lessons and the magic-boosting elixir, I had surpassed Kang Do-hee, a native 5-star character, in strength.

However, my growth had stagnated recently.

The reason was that I was still a 1-star character.

No matter how hard I tried, there was a limit to how strong I could become as a 1-star, and I was already nearing that limit.

The story provided set opportunities to increase one's rank, so I thought I had no choice but to wait for those moments…

Oooong─

A bright, white light formed above my head, too bright to look at directly.

It then poured down on me.

Kwaaaaaaaa─

"Jin Yuha!"

"Yuha!"

Sophia and Lim Ga-eul called out to me from behind, their faces full of concern.

But I gritted my teeth and widened my eyes.

"I'm fine! Just stay back!!!!"

An overwhelming, irresistible force ran rampant through my body, coursing through my blood vessels and inflicting excruciating pain.

"Kyaaaaaaaaah!!!!"

I couldn't hold back my scream any longer.

Pssss─

And in the midst of the blinding pain—

Pakang─!

I had a vision of a heavy shackle that had bound my soul breaking apart.

"······."

"······."

A heavy silence fell in the basement.

Haaaaaa─

I slowly exhaled and opened my eyes.

"Status window."

And among them, my Charm, which had already reached 90, broke into triple digits, granting me a new trait.

'Charisma' – Able to exert a dominating presence over others.

'The butterfly effect… This ability is truly amazing.'

I had gained so much from this unexpected turn of events.

I examined my status window with a bewildered expression, still trying to wrap my head around what had just happened.

To be honest, I was still dumbfounded and didn't fully understand how all of this had come about.

I closed my eyes and composed myself.

Yes, for now, I needed to complete the operation and return.

I could rejoice later.

I turned to the party members who had been waiting for me and said,

"Well, shall we go now?"

Then.

Thud.

Sophia, her face reddened, dropped the camera she had been holding, and Lim Ga-eul, still maintaining her concept, stared at me with hazy, half-lidded eyes, her mouth agape.

And,

'Instructor?'

Why are you glaring at me with such intimidating eyes…?
