I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

The final battle against Shin Do-hwa in Velvets was quite challenging.

The Shin Family Royal Guards, who took direct orders from Shin Do-hwa, and Shin Do-hwa herself, providing powerful fire support from the back, were a formidable combination.

In other words, even the most seasoned players would not be criticized for retrying several times.

However, I had assigned separate tasks to Shin Se-hee, Kang Do-hee, Sophia, and Ichika.

That left me, Yoo-ri, Ga-eul, and Shasha Fong. Shasha Fong was never part of the combat force to begin with, and Ga-eul was busy charging the white stone and couldn’t play a supporting role.

In the end, the only ones left to fight were me and Yoo-ri.

Despite this, I was confident of victory.

“Indeed, if it weren’t for Shasha Fong, I would have had to bring the whole party here.”

The White stone she brought had really snowballed our advantage.

The biggest factor was taking out the Shin Family Royal Guards early on.

Even if we had brought the bugs here, the Shin Family Royal Guards would have intervened, and Shin Do-hwa would have quickly regained her composure.

“Eww, gross! Get away from me!”

But without any barriers, she had lost her usual cold composure and was now shuddering and shaking her body in disgust.

Then, as if it was too much for her, she shouted:

“Just go away!”

Fwoosh!

A huge flame erupted from her body.

“And here’s my other ace in the hole.”

I signaled to Yoo-ri, and she nodded in response.

ROOOOAAAR!

As Yoo-ri drew her dagger and struck her shield, the flames that Shin Do-hwa had conjured were absorbed into Yoo-ri’s shield.

I smiled, pleased with what I saw.

It was as if the Shin family was just meant to be devoured by Yoo-ri, whether it was Shin Se-hee or Shin Do-hwa.

In the game, even though the Chimeras were immune to Yoo-ri’s taunt skill, she was still a must-have pick for this episode.

And now, without the Shin Family Royal Guards, Shin Do-hwa was just easy prey for Yoo-ri.

“As expected of the Shin family specialist.”

.

.

.

“Yoo-ri, we’ll handle Shasha Fong’s father while you take on Shin Do-hwa.”

At Jin Yuha’s words, Yoo-ri nodded.

“It’s true…”

She gazed at her shield, which was devouring the flames as if it were hungry, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

During the China mission, she had actually been quite discouraged, although she hadn’t said anything about it.

After all, her skills hadn’t been very effective against the Chimeras they had faced throughout the mission.

While she had played a role in temporarily holding the Chimeras in place, she knew that Sophia’s arrows would have been enough to take them all out even without her help.

Because of this, Yoo-ri couldn’t shake the feeling that she had become a useless burden.

But now, Jin Yuha had specifically chosen her to take on the final boss of this incident alone.

As she blocked the attacks, she realized that the flames immediately submitted to her mana without causing her any harm.

“These flames can’t hurt me at all.”

Her confidence returned, and the resemblance of her opponent to Shin Se-hee only fueled her fighting spirit further.

“I’ve been wanting to teach Se-hee a lesson anyway, after what she did last time.”

Yoo-ri hadn’t forgotten about Shin Se-hee’s deception during the last incident, when she had impersonated Jin Yuha and contacted the party members.

A silent promise had been made that day, and since they couldn’t resort to violence against a fellow party member, the matter had been dropped.

But now, she could take out her frustration on Shin Do-hwa, who looked just like Shin Se-hee. It felt like a suitable substitute.

“Why?! Why do you keep coming at me?! Get lost! I said get lost!”

Shin Do-hwa conjured even larger flames, but they were once again absorbed into Yoo-ri’s shield instead of harming the bugs.

Only then did Shin Do-hwa notice Yoo-ri’s presence, and her face contorted in anger as she turned to face her.

“Who… are you?”

Yoo-ri replied with a confident smile:

“Auntie, let’s play.”

.

.

.

I left Shin Do-hwa to Yoo-ri and headed towards the glass chamber with Ga-eul and Shasha Fong.

Inside the chamber was a muscular man with long gray hair, grinding his teeth.

His eyes were vacant, devoid of any focus.

“Dad…”

Shasha Fong tried to rush towards him, but I held her shoulder to stop her.

“It’s dangerous.”

“But that’s my dad! My dad!”

“Shasha Fong.”

I turned her around and looked her in the eye.

“Don’t worry, just wait here. I’ll definitely save your dad.”

“…’

Shasha Fong looked at me, then bit her lip and nodded.

I patted her head and headed towards the chamber alone.

Then,

BOOM!

Yowan punched the glass chamber, shattering it and causing the green liquid inside to spill out.

Grrrr…

Yowan stepped out of the chamber, his white eyes devoid of focus, his muscular body dripping with liquid.

As he stepped out, the terrible wounds from the experiments he had endured began to regenerate at an incredible rate.

“He’s definitely not someone to be underestimated, even when trapped in that glass chamber.”

I addressed him as “Father.”

“Grrrrrrr…”

However, Yowan, with his unfocused eyes and drooling mouth, seemed beyond reason.

“Hmm, I’d like to go easy on you, but I’m not sure if I can control my strength… It might hurt a bit, but please bear with it. It’s necessary for your treatment.”

As I finished speaking,

“ROOOOAR!!!”

Yowan charged at me, drooling from the mouth.

Whoosh!

He swung his huge fists like a beast, and I drew my sword from its sheath.

With Sophia’s presence and his remarkable regenerative abilities, I figured we’d be fine, but I didn’t want to take any chances of permanently disabling him.

BOOM!

Yowan’s fist slammed into the floor, creating a massive crater.

However, I twisted my body to dodge his punch and swung my sheathed sword horizontally, taking advantage of the centrifugal force.

Crack!

My sword sheath struck his waist.

BOOM!

Yowan flew and crashed into the laboratory wall.

But,

He shook his head as if unaffected and stood up.

“Well, you’re certainly living up to your name as a mid-boss.”

I said with a disgusted voice,

.

.

.

BOOM!

Crack!

BOOM!

Crack!

BOOM!

The battle between Jin Yuha and Yowan unfolded with great intensity.

Yowan’s speed and destructive power were remarkable.

He unleashed punches and kicks with lightning speed, too fast for the eye to follow, and the solid substances that made up the floor and walls were horribly dented and shattered with each blow.

However, Jin Yuha didn’t take a single hit.

It was as if he knew where Yowan’s punches and kicks were going, as he dodged them and struck back with his sheathed sword during the openings.

Shasha Fong watched with her lips bitten so hard they bled, and Ga-eul also watched with bated breath, tense and nervous.

“Hmm, what is it, junior? You seem different somehow.”

Jin Yuha’s skills had always been inhuman, but today he seemed a little different.

It was as if his swordplay, usually light and flashy like a dance, had become overly plain and concise.

Yet, it was hard to say that his skills had diminished.

In Ga-eul’s eyes, his sword still exuded the same aura as before, and her mind involuntarily imagined the rest.

When he made a simple downward sword motion, her mind imagined Jin Yuha’s sword unfolding like a peacock with colorful and dazzling wings.

“Hmm, maybe it’s because I’ve seen junior’s sword too many times.”

Ga-eul had such thoughts, but then,

BOOM!

Yowan’s head slammed into the floor, a straightforward attack from above, yet he offered no resistance and took the blow.

“W, what is this…?”

Ga-eul was so astonished by what she had just witnessed that she stood there with her mouth agape.

Yowan had never seen Jin Yuha’s sword before, yet he dodged as if he had seen the same thing Ga-eul had imagined.

And in that moment, Jin Yuha’s slow-moving sword suddenly accelerated and struck Yowan’s head.

“What kind of monster has junior become…?”

As Ga-eul stood there with her mouth open, watching Jin Yuha,

“Ga-eul!”

Suddenly, Jin Yuha turned to her and called out.

“Huh…?”

“Now’s the time!”

Ah.

That’s right, this was the moment she was here for.

Ga-eul snapped out of her daze and rushed towards Yowan, who was lying unconscious.

She reached out to him.

With one hand holding his head, she channeled the energy of White stone with the other.

“I need to switch the two energies.”

Yes, what her junior had asked of her.

To switch the mana of White stone and Yowan, she needed to act as a conduit!

“Hyaaaaaaah!!!”

Ga-eul let out a powerful battle cry.
