As a matter of fact, I stepped forward on the battlefield splendidly with all my power, except for the limited skill 'Savant', because I needed to turn the tide of the battle. And my intention worked out perfectly. Those 20,000 people who were locked in a fierce fight on the central battlefield not only focused on me, but also stopped fighting.
It was right at that moment that these two guys appeared.
The fight quickly turned into a two versus one.
It was as if this fight was something like a main fight between two camps.
Of course, I was thinking of retreating because I still had a lot of health, and I could retreat anytime if I wanted to. However, my retreat from here would let the Mitsuya Guild seize back the momentum to win this fight.
Moreover, even if I got out of this situation, the question of how to deal with the Oizuki brothers would pester me anyway.
When I thought about it, I spat out curses before I knew it because even if I avoided this place, there was no guarantee that I would not be humiliated by the Oizuki brothers again. As a matter of fact, it was obvious that I would face the same humiliation.
'Damn it! This isn't the way I'm supposed to do it!"
I have never regretted the three traits of Ice Man, Mutual Growth, and God of Enhancement.
However, no matter how hard I thought about it, the Item Master and Skill Master traits looked far better than my traits. In particular, their ability to remove their opponent's items and skills, not to mention the item and skill synchronization, were so absurd that I thought it was completely fraudulent.
'I'm the only 3rd Closed Beta max level achiever!'
In other words, they obtained such dreamlike traits from only the 1st and 2nd Closed Betas. But their traits were so good that I wondered how it was possible.
Of course, they might have obtained such traits with the trait shards, of which I had a few in my inventory because I didn't collect a sufficient number to combine them, or from events or quests I didn't know of. But anyway,I thought their traits were too good.
At that moment, I wondered if I had to use all the golden rings to erase my skills and even choose stamina and agility as my main stats for Mutual Growth. But I soon shook my head soon, for I clearly knew that I could not change the stats I chose when I first set up Mutual Growth
Anyway, I kept swearing like that because I was in a situation where I had to hold out as long as I could and withstand the Oizuki brothers' attacks.
In the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance camp.
"What the heck?"
"Why is he being beaten like that?"
"He has to strike back!"
All the members of the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance could not help but wonder about the battle taking place on the central battlefield. Certainly, until a while ago, it was Asirante who was attacking the enemies so powerfully until they were shivering with fear.
But it was Asirante who was being beaten up now.
Some of them even thought that Asirante was fooling around with them.
However, Asirante appeared too miserable to be acting it out at the moment. As time passed by, he was getting more and more miserable. It was no wonder that they began to whisper.
Of course, there were people who were more embarrassed than anybody else.
They were Chairman Sangman Hong, who sensed Asirante's true condition, brother Kiyoung, sister Suyoung, and Director Sok.
In particular, Suyoung attempted to message Asirante continuously, but she heard no reply from him, which made her all the more nervous.
In the central battlefield.
'Damn it! Shit!"
I kept cursing because all I could do was swear.
Moreover, it was time for me to decide whether to retreat or not.
If I was beaten up anymore, I would have no time to retreat.
Of course, I had to retreat because of the obvious results, but I had no choice but to hesitate because I did not even counterattack the Oizuki brothers even once.
But then, a message rang unexpectedly, which showed something I had never thought of.
[Talent: There is an item part with which you can be freed from the Item Master's curse.
-Ring.
: 'Myth-grade expansion': Thanks to the 'myth grade expansion accessory charm', an additional space for an extra ring was created.
: The extra space is not affected by the Item Master's curse.
-You can now wear one item regardless of whether it is a ring or not]
[Talent: There is one skill with which you can be freed from the Skill Master' curse.
-Limited skill 'Savant.'
: This is a skill that exists outside the influence of the Skill Master since it was not earned the usual way.
-You have also earned a total of 5 skill points outside the normal acquisition method.
: You can use a total of 5 skill points while you are under the influence of the Skill Master's curse.]
A series of messages rang unexpectedly. Of course, I had no problem understanding the messages.
In fact, I was wearing two rings due to the myth grade accessory expansion charm. Moreover, thanks to being the only one to reach the max level in the 3rd Closed Beta, I obtained three skill points. I also obtained the limited skill 'Savant' and two skill points during my stay in Region 0.
However, I wasn't happy because such messages should have rang much earlier, given their contents. By now, I was already humiliated by the Oizuki brothers.
Of course, I was still wondering why the above messages rang at this particular time.
But that wasn't important right now, so I opened the item window right away and confirmed that right now, I had a ring equipped.
And when I chose the +5 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword, a message rang.
[Currently, you are wearing a functional skill ring. Current state: You can wear only one item due to the Item Master's curse.]
After I removed the functional skill ring, I could wear the 5+ Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword.
. In other words, I confirmed that I could wear only one item regardless of what it was.
Then I opened the skill window.
[You can change and use as many as five skills.
-However, once you set it, you cannot change it until the Skill Master's curse disappears.]
I could wear only one item but I could change the item freely, but there was a limit to my skill change. However, I already decided the skills to learn because I could swap the functional skill ring and the +5 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword.
"Choose Level 7 Blizzard, Level 5 Ice Field, and Level 4 Blink."
[Selected skills.
-Level 7 Blizzard: 3 skill points.
-Level 5 Ice Field: 1 skill point.
-Level 4 Blink: 1 skill point.
-You can use a total of 3 skills.]
I spent nearly a minute checking various things. But in the meantime, the Oizuki brothers haven't attacked me at all.
Instead, they opened their mouths, stuttering as if they were startled.
"What the heck? Why is his weapon…"
"No way…"
When I swapped my ring with a weapon, it was inevitable that they would notice because the sword was quite big unlike my ring. And its appearance seemed to have embarrassed elder brother Oizuki who had the trait of Item Master. Of course, his younger brother was no exception.
Anyway, I opened his mouth quietly, looking at the Oizuki brothers.
"I told you, guys. My trait is to eat cuc.u.mbers deliciously. Watch carefully how I eat cuc.u.mbers."
"Oi" in Korean meant cuc.u.mbers, so I spat out such words as a symbol for what I was about to do to them.
Then I charged at them first, grabbing the +5 Enhancement Ice Emperor's guardian sword.
