Samurai Hearts – Tutorial (6)
Episode 6
Seungyeon, Dohyeon, and Tatsuki immediately traced the way they came and returned to the castle.
Maybe it was because he was running faster than before, when he walked slowly.
Shortly thereafter, they reached the starting point, and what they saw was the burning Atsuragi Castle.
Around the castle, soldiers in armor engraved with the Atsuragi family were corpses and fell to the ground.
It was a sight that clearly showed that there was a problem with the castle.
“The castle is burning…! How could this be?”
Tatsuki exclaimed with great respect.
Hearing this, he said, “Come on!” and drove toward the castle.
Dohyun, who was watching it from behind, widened his eyes.
It looks like the castle has already been captured, but you’re charging there with a short-term film horse like that.
Did you mean that you were even pretending to die?
He quickly tried to stop Tatsuki, but his body didn’t move the way he wanted it to.
Only then did Dohyun realize.
‘Ah, the event is in progress.’
It was so natural that I didn’t even notice it, but he and Seungyeon were already in the process of cutting the event.
If it weren’t for that, there’s no way Seungyeon, who already knew some of the content, wouldn’t have stopped Tatsuki’s sudden action.
Perhaps the event cutscene started when he saw the burning castle, he guessed.
“Little lord! It’s dangerous!”
Seungyeon shouted and followed Tatsuki, and it was the same with Dohyun.
Of course, this was just an event cutscene along a set route.
It means that Do-hyeon does not need to control the body that is running, and that means that Do-hyeon can do other actions.
So Dohyun rolled her eyes and looked around.
‘I have quite a few enemies. Is this okay?’
It wasn’t just the corpses of the Atsuragi clan soldiers around the burning castle.
There is no effect without cause.
Those who appeared to have killed them were prowling around the castle.
There were people wearing armor engraved with the same patterns and symbols of the Nagamatsu family as the enemies they faced in the forest.
Most of them had spears, but some were armed with bows and rifles.
It would be difficult to survive if they jumped in without measures like this and were surrounded by siege.
‘Well, there must be a way to break it.’
it’s a game anyway
Even in a difficult situation, there must be a way to break through.
Even if it failed, the game over was over, so Dohyun decided to just watch.
“Is that sleeping…?”
The existence of Tatsuki running madly at his horse is bound to be revealed forever.
All the enemies are walking, especially since he’s the only one on horseback.
Among the enemy hordes wandering around the castle, a samurai in armor who appeared to be the leader found Tatsuki and raised a questionable voice.
Atsuragi Castle has already been captured.
Dealing with the stalemate is all they have left for them to do.
It meant that there was no reason to run in such a hurry like that crazy bastard.
Because of this, the chief samurai who was carefully watching Tatsuki opened his eyes wide for a moment.
It was because he was able to recognize who Tatsuki was because he was in a high position in his own way.
“Tatsuki Atsuragi…! One of the enemy’s chiefs! Catch him!”
Hearing the shouts of the chief samurai, the enemy soldiers rushed toward Tatsuki at once.
Tatsuki, who was running on horseback, looked at them and yelled at them.
“Come on! I’m Atsuragi Tatsuki! Come on, you filthy invaders!”
However, unlike his fierce roar like a lion, Tatsuki’s swordsmanship skills were not very good.
At first, Tatsuki was not a samurai, but a minor lord.
He was a person who only learned the basics of swordsmanship and learned how to govern the territory.
As a matter of course, it was impossible to have the swordsmanship that could defeat dozens of enemy soldiers with a short-term film.
Even Tatsuki has only just reached the age of majority (16 years old).
He was too young to build up his arduous swordsmanship.
It’s a pity that he was on the horse, otherwise he would have been captured in no time.
“Ugh!”
Among the crowd of enemies, Tatsuki fell into the defensive and was in danger.
The horse caught in the hands of the enemy soldiers fell, and Tatsuki fell to the floor.
“Little lord…!”
It was then that Seungyeon and Dohyun reached the battlefield.
Tatsuki ran on his own horse and scrambled across the street to catch up.
“These bastards! Stay away from the little lord!”
Seung-yeon and Do-hyeon, who joined the battlefield, fought a sword-fight, and the enemy soldiers were pushed back by their momentum.
However, the siege was not completely relieved.
I just opened up a little more distance and surrounded them.
Whenever he saw a gap, there was a tendency to rush.
Seungyeon and Dohyun stood in their seats as if protecting Tatsuki, who was moaning in pain.
And finally, the event cutscene is over.
‘No, this is how it ends?’
Do-hyeon, who regained control of her body, muttered faintly.
The enemy in front, the enemy in the side, the enemy in the back.
With only enemies everywhere, the event ended abruptly with a piece of luggage left.
Doesn’t it seem like he deliberately drove the player to death?
But why would the game push the player to game over?
Embarrassed, he looked at Seungyeon, but she also had a frown on her face.
“Oh, I’ve seen this once, but I’m getting cancer. What the hell was this little kid thinking when he came all the way here alone?”
– Go Gerson’s bitter gossip
-You turned around and ran away
– Early cancer development is a cliché!
Dohyun asked a question to Seungyeon, who was chatting with the viewers.
“Is this okay?”
“Huh? Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. Even if you die here, there’s no game over.”
“No game over? So what happens?”
“The event continues. Whether you keep holding on here, or being attacked by the enemy, the event continues.”
Dohyun understood Seungyeon’s explanation.
In short, this meant that it was an event where defeat was allowed.
You can overcome it to the best of your ability, but you don’t have to.
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yeah. What can I do? Should I be dealt with right away, or will I hold out until the reinforcements arrive?”
“Um. Then—”
Do-hyeon, who had been contemplating for a while, suddenly swung his sword without speaking.
The spear blade, which was aiming at him from the blind spot, bounced off with an iron sound.
He continued, inserting the sword into the gap of the enemy that appeared naturally as if breathing.
“—Let’s hold on. I just don’t want to die.”
“Okay. Then let’s hold on. I’ll have to show my improved skills here again!”
Seungyeon raised her sword proudly shouting.
It was a proud attitude.
But she had good reasons for her confidence.
As I said before, she practiced the tutorial several times.
Naturally, I became proficient to some extent, and during practice I even succeeded in holding out until the reinforcements came.
‘Although it’s only once…’
Anyway, success is success.
If you make good use of that experience, you will be able to survive until the reinforcements arrive.
Besides, doesn’t she have a younger brother who is a strong ally now?
If there is Do-hyeon, who is the most talented of all time, it will be easier to endure.
Everything is smiling for her.
She has no choice but to be on her own.
“No mic, I’m going crazy!”
-Wow! Concentrated declaration!
-‘That remark’
– I think he died right after doing this before.
-If you talk about it at that time, you will be banned; be careful;
Seungyeon suppressed the dark history she was trying to come up with because of the audience chatting.
From now on, it was time to really focus.
Hearing this, she really focused on deflecting the enemy’s attacks without saying anything.
Maybe it’s because of the factors that he’s already practiced a few times and that he has a reliable ally?
Showing her skills beyond the time she practiced, she broke the enemy’s offensive.
Although she couldn’t defeat the enemy, she also never allowed her opponent’s attack.
A skill that clearly transcends limits.
In fact, it was only to the extent that anyone with normal physical abilities could do it.
But who is Seungyeon?
Wasn’t she the one who possessed a physical that was beyond destructive and even terrifying?
It was really surprising that she had endured it so easily.
‘Would the viewers be surprised?’
Seungyeon, who was able to spare herself by pushing the enemy that was rushing at her, checked the viewer chat in a flash.
– Wow… that’s crazy.
-Is this a true story?
– That was possible hahaha
Obviously, the audience was amazed.
However, contrary to Seungyeon’s expectations, it was not her advanced skills that surprised them.
It was her younger brother, Do-hyeon, who was fighting behind her that drove the viewers into astonishment.
The viewers’ gaze was fixed only on Do-hyeon.
It was not that there were no viewers watching her, but there were only a few.
‘How are you?’
Seungyeon, who suddenly rose with curiosity, turned away and looked back.
There were as many as eight corpses and Do-hyeon, who naturally hung his sword.
Truly an overwhelming sight!
At the very least, it seemed as if the enemy soldiers surrounding Do-hyeon were faltering in fear of him.
It was impossible for an artificial intelligence to act only as it was prescribed to feel that kind of emotion.
‘Did you kill eight people in the meantime?’
You’ve killed as many as eight enemies in less than a few minutes of fighting.
At best, it was a result that could not be compared to Seungyeon, who was only able to repel attacks.
It was not unreasonable for viewers to doubt their own eyes.
– I’m tired of coming and going twice for each knife.
-I’ve been watching it, but there’s never been a time when it wasn’t a great deflection success.
-Is that the first person to do VR? What to do with the feeling of deprivation
Viewers were nonstop talking about Dohyun’s performance.
It meant that Dohyun’s physical performance was that impressive to them, but seeing their conversation, even Seungyeon wondered.
“Wow, I didn’t see it, was it that much?”
-Oh, that’s crazy. totally crazy
-There seemed to be no one to beat among the people who were playing VR game rooms.
– Wasn’t it even the first time you did it today? If you even set the device optimization settings, you’re going to go crazy.
‘I want to see how you did it.’
As Seungyeon thought so, an enemy soldier valiantly rushed at Dohyun.
An assault with a spear blade in front.
It was the most common pattern shown by general rookies, and it was an attack that even Seungyeon could defeat without difficulty.
Under normal circumstances, that wouldn’t even be a threat.
‘But now it’s different.’
It’s not a one-on-one situation with the enemy.
Dozens of enemies are besieging you and you are being attacked, which is a disadvantageous situation!
If the surrounding enemy soldiers revealed any gaps, they were waiting to bite them right away.
If the enemy’s attacks are easy to break, so if you deflect them as usual and then kill them, you’ll probably get pierced by the spears of the enemy soldiers who took the opportunity.
That was the reason why Seungyeon was unable to kill the enemy even though she had succeeded in deflecting the attack.
‘You mean you killed eight people in this situation?’
While Seungyeon was looking at her with anticipation, Dohyeon was attacked by the enemy.
His actions were not great.
Raise the hanging sword to set the height, pull it, and stab it towards the spear blade.
just that
Chaeeng!
That alone was enough to break the enemy’s charge.
“Aww!”
The enemy soldiers who were deflected by Dohyeon missed the spear, but they were not able to kill even the momentum they were charging.
Do-hyeon, who turned the tip of his sword, cut the neck of the enemy who was running at him with a surprised expression.
The blade draws an eerie one.
After the squeaking sound, the enemy soldier collapsed on the floor with a thud.
