I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

No way.

Wow.

No freaking way.

What the hell was that?

Terrifying.

Her bright red hair, usually tied back, now flowed freely like a flame, and a red aura surrounded her body.

She looked like a goddess of fire from ancient myths.

In just a moment, the sword statue had its ankle and both arms torn off, and the mace statue had its head pierced.

It was as if the laws of physics didn’t apply to her.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying sounds echoed a beat slower than usual.

The absurd scene made their hair stand on end.

Of course, they knew what had happened.

‘That was Avatar of Fire…’

Kang Do-hee’s awakening skill, Avatar of Fire, activated her body to move ten times faster and deal ten times more damage.

This skill alone elevated Kang Do-hee, who was already a top-tier character in the 5-star tier due to her base damage, to the top 0.1% tier.

It was a crazy skill that made her a game-changer, capable of destroying the enemy’s tank in the beginning and dominating the game.

All you had to do was:

1. Continuously reroll the basic gacha to obtain Kang Do-hee.
2.
3. Consistently use daily resources to enhance Kang Do-hee.
4.
5. Farm for about a week to learn Avatar of Fire.
6.
It was no wonder that when the old-timers in the Velvet School Life community posted a ‘no-money strategy’ guide about this, it was was upvoted to the top.

‘Honestly, I couldn’t argue with that guide…’

However, compared to the untouchable Avatar of Fire ‘One-Punch Girl’ Kang Do-hee from the game, this was still lacking.

A fully enhanced Avatar of Fire Kang Do-hee from the gacha?

If that were possible, they wouldn’t need to go through all this trouble with the Demon World Gate. They could just send Kang Do-hee to clear it by herself.

With Avatar of Fire, even the minions and the Demon of Sloth lying on the ground would have been taken care of with a single blow.

‘That’s why the main story was considered too easy.’

The problem was why this skill suddenly appeared at this point in time.

The conditions for Kang Do-hee to learn Avatar of Fire were as follows:

1. Clear her personal story.
2.
3. Maximum affinity and trust.
4.
5. Overcoming limitations.
6.
7. Enlightenment.
8.
9. Quitting smoking.
10.
She had probably met two of these conditions.

Overcoming limitations was likely achieved through the master’s training, which she had done together with me.

As for quitting smoking, Kang Do-hee had stopped smoking at some point.

‘What about the other three?’

Kang Do-hee’s personal story didn’t have a significant impact on the main story, so it was put on hold.

As for affinity, it was hard to tell. Without the game, how could he know his affinity with the characters?

If he was the player, it would mean that Kang Do-hee trusted him enough to risk her life for him.

‘Was it that high?’

If so, it was truly touching. Kang Do-hee had a strong sense of independence and pride, so I had paid less attention to her compared to the others.

The fact that she had such trust in me was heartwarming.

And finally, enlightenment.

The reason why players spent three weeks farming.

Enlightenment was incredibly difficult to obtain, with a probability similar to drawing an SSS-tier item from a random box.

Some players spent a whole month farming and still didn’t get it…

‘I gave her the Focus Band to increase her training efficiency… Did the Demon Tree also have an impact?’

Regardless, this was a pleasant surprise.

As I snapped out of my daze, I quickly dodged an attack and gave orders.

“Soup, provide cover!”

“Got it!”

Lee Yoo-ri stepped forward, while I, Kang Do-hee, and Alice retreated.

Taking advantage of the brief pause, I couldn’t help but express my excitement.

“Kang Do-hee, that was amazing! What was that just now?”

“Those guys may be weak, but you took them out in just three seconds!”

It was true.

Even though they were minions of the Demon of Sloth, they were strong enough to take down over 200 hunters without any casualties.

Yet, Kang Do-hee had eliminated them before they could even use their troublesome skills.

“Hmm… I should take care of the rest, right?”

Kang Do-hee, who didn’t expect such a strong reaction from me, turned her head away and coughed.

“Oh, right. Yes, we need to take care of them. Let’s talk after the battle.”

The remaining statues were the main damage dealer, support, special, and healer.

Although they were slightly startled by Kang Do-hee’s skill, the Demon of Sloth didn’t seem inclined to move.

‘With six statues reduced to four, it’s time to strike.’

It was like a prepared meal.

The six statues appeared with a composition similar to a player party.

Kang Do-hee’s destruction of the tank, the mace statue, and the sub-DPS, the sword statue, was crucial.

Now, only the main DPS, support, special, and healer remained.

Although the plan had changed significantly, it was even better.

Without a tank and sub-DPS, they didn’t need to wait for the right timing to attack.

I narrowed my eyes and observed the statues’ positions and movements.

In this situation, the first target should be…

‘The healer, of course.’

Ooooohhhh─

As the praying statue brought its hands together and bowed its head, the severed arm of the main damage dealer was restored.

“Lee Yoo-ri, use your taunt to keep the melee statue and the mage statue occupied. They won’t be able to target anyone else. Just those two. Ichika, use your shadows to restrain the smallest statue. Alice, protect Sophia and Lim Ga-eul.”

“Got it!”

“Leave it to me, my savior.”

“Yes!”

“Kang Do-hee, you and I will move together. When I throw you towards the praying statue, destroy it immediately. It’s a one-time opportunity. Lim Ga-eul, use your acceleration.”

“Yes! Accelerate!”

With Im Ga-eul’s acceleration, Kang Do-hee and I moved as one.

The statues tried to block our path, but…

Roar!

At that moment, Lee Yoo-ri’s taunt forced the two statues to focus on her.

Swoosh—

The remaining support statue was restrained by shadows that emerged from the ground, grabbing its ankles.

Although Lee Yoo-ri’s taunt and Ichika’s shadows only worked for a moment, there was no hesitation.

I smiled as I saw the white light path leading directly to the healer.

It was a great ability, as it allowed me to see the path to reach the healer in the shortest possible time.

Of course, I would have taken this route anyway, but it was nice to have a visual representation.

‘Now!’

And at the end of the light path, I came to a sudden stop.

Crunch!

I extended my hand towards Kang Do-hee, who grabbed it tightly.

Gritting my teeth, I converted the kinetic energy and twisted my body, throwing Kang Do-hee towards the healer.

Whoosh!

Kang Do-hee flew like a bullet, landing on the praying statue’s shoulder and gracefully spinning to snap its head.

Crunch!

“Nice, Kang Do-hee!”

With the healer gone, only the remaining minions were left, and it was time to beat them down.

.

.

.

“Healing Rain!”

Golden rain fell from the sky, healing our wounds.

The remaining statues tried to fight back, but without their tank and healer, they were no match.

“It’s not that easy.”

“They were stronger than expected… The timing for evasion was tricky.”

However, the party members, who were not used to this kind of fight, seemed a little tired.

“Take some potions and regroup.”

Although drinking potions during combat usually left one vulnerable, the party members obediently opened their pocket dimensions and took out potions without hesitation.

‘If we drink the potions right after defeating the minions, we can just barely recover before the demon wakes up.’

I also opened my pocket dimension and took out a red potion, pouring it into my mouth.

Although I couldn’t feel any sensation due to the lack of pain, I assumed that the potion had restored my health, along with Sophia’s healing.

“From now on, skills are sealed. We’ll have to rely solely on our physical abilities.”

The party members nodded in agreement.

Crunch!

The demon of sloth, the sub-boss, rose from the altar with a bored expression, as if he was fed up with the minions.

Roar!

Malevolent demonic energy filled the air.

“You’ve finally forced me to take action… You’ll regret this…”

Black dust began to fall from the sky.
