The heroic deeds that the voice from before ntioned paved my road. All the power in the world surged through my cells as if breaking free from the latches.
But that question started it all. Out of the blue, soone reached out to . It was not the voice that mocked in the forest.
That sound had a more gentle tune.
"Do you wish to save them? Do you wish to put your life for the sake of others?" Those were the words that the enigmatic voice directed at .
Of course, I answered yes while motioning my head. Regardless of the identity of this eerie figure, I still placed my trust and hoped for the best.
All the lost energy from my cells ca rushing through , nding my wounds and broken bones. I knew that was happening, given the amount of pain lessening on my body. Even my left arm, which should have been numb until now, ca to life. It should not have been possible with my current conditions, but it happened.
Within a few seconds, all my organs, skin, muscles, tissues, and bones revived themselves. They needed no dical attention besides the glowing soft massages. My five senses also heightened, as if unlocking the best version of my body and .
As I glanced at the side, sothing tingly moved in my hands.
"Clarent?" I murmured. "I'm not dreaming, right? I'm really okay, right? I-I feel light. My body feels like it's soaring into the air!" I exclaid.
A wave of energy hovered around , attracting the attention of three ogres battling against the villagers. It was Uruk-hai who notified its remaining troops about my revival. Even this demonic figure had its eyes widened upon seeing stand up like nothing ever happened.
"You Arthur, why are you alive?" Uruk-hai croaked while slowly trundling backwards. Its allies did the sa and followed the example of their leader.
"Your expression is as good as mine."
I did not tell a lie, since it happened in a flash. There was no reason for to get this power, considering the current condition of the war. Despite these facts, I got a temporary boost, hoping to stand against these monsters.
[Title confird: The Descendant's Hero]
[Clarent Unlocked-Legendary Sword of Peace]
"Sword of Peace?"
I knew my sword was sothing special. However, little did I know that this weapon that I used granted such unyielding power.
According to my system, the ability that I unlocked ca from my legendary sword. Although the details were unclear, the sword gave a limited ti to taste my own power from my main account. As the voice ntioned before, there was power inside of . Regardless of those mockeries, those words now made sense to .
Uruk-hai directed his hands in my direction, ordering its ogres to go all out against . With those instructions, the monsters went on a rampage. They hurled various things at , including the boulders, and cut off boughs from the trees.
Those things hovered around , but none of them hit . Thanks to my enhanced senses, those projectiles that ca from Mother nature went to my sides. It glided through the holes of my arms and my thighs as it turned the scene into an epic movie clip!
Everything was smooth like butter, with my movents becoming one with the air. I am almost a professional acrobatic joining in the Olympics if it weren't for my heavy plate armour cladded with steel.
"Unbelievable!" I exclaid after realising all that I did with my body and the tossed boughs and stones.
But the battle was far from over. The three ogres were already in front of , ready to attack.
Like I did before, I swooshed to the side and dodged the blitz of attacks coming from those jabs. Thanks to morale's boost of Uruk-hai, these ogres increased their speeds, making it arduous for to land a hit at their faces.
The two other ogres did the sa and joined in the fight. These monsters used everything that they had, including throwing kicks and body slams in my direction.
Despite these boosts, all their movents beca sluggish. Like a grandmaster sparring with so students, none of the ogre's attacks hit once again.
"Co, little rat! I kill you!" an ogre shouted, and used the bough as a make-shift weapon like a bat.
But no matter how hard these bastards tried, they can't land a hit on .
I knew these ogres overpowered with their sheer numbers and brutal force, so I slipped away. I created so distance between these ogres and and analysed my current situation. Even with this profound power, my win was not absolute.
If these monsters would beco critical beasts and combined their attacks, I would have been a goner in no ti.
"I just wish they won't do just that" I murmured, and clicked my tongue.
It was my only wish from the stars above to defeat these monsters. After winning this skirmish, I planned to live a normal life. A life without fighting with a girl by my side would do. But I still needed to grab the Excalibur away from that demon lord.
'Well, one goal at a ti,' I thought, with a smirk erging from my face. 'Thinking about a plan won't do anything in front of the ogres. With this power, all I could do is fight them head-on!'
There was no point in thinking about my next move. This place was a wasteland with no terrains that I could use to my advantage. If we leave this place, I might do sothing about it.
But if I wanted to do that, I needed to defeat these three buffoons first.
The blade shone bright, like a diamond as I called out its na. I gripped my Clarent sword tight in my hands and launched a devastating attack. Upon slashing the air, violent wind gushed out in the ogre's direction.
While I was doing all this, I leapt close to the ogre's den.
The ogres had no choice but to defend themselves with their muscular arms. Their arms were the only defensive ability they had for negating abilities such as my wind gushing spell.
However, the ogres underestimated my power, as their arms did not work their fit. Wounds appeared from their skin as my wind gush hit their body. The monsters panic as they finally felt the pain they gave .
Their roars beca music in my ears as the wind ca crashing in their direction. I did not finish my attack with just that, as I was already in front of my enemies.
"[Swift Slash]!" I shouted.
It was a spell that allowed to swing my blades in every direction. The ability amplified my attacks while guiding my hand at all angles that the opponent could escape. Although it had minor damage compared to my other skills, it still did its job.
The three ogres died within an instant after taking the entire duration of my ability. It wasn't even my full strength, but it took down those monsters to their graves.
After witnessing the scene, I realised that the power I had was sothing that my previous character had before I got nerfed. I looked at my status window and checked all of my points and statistical power if they changed.
"Well, what do you know?! It changed" A faint chuckle escaped my mouth as the disgusting numbers reach a hundred beneath my eyes.
My statistical power and points reached around below five hundred. Although these numbers looked low to , it was still enough against these ogres.
However, I still did not know the limits of my special ability. There was still Uruk-hai who never made a move to . That ogre was still gazing from afar, scrutinising every movent I did against its minions.
My body shook every ti I looked ahead to my future. There was only darkness that kept filling the holes.
Although my status points, statistical power, and my senses increased, I still borrowed this power. The sword gave this ability, since it was its special power that even I did not know. Every ti I am heroic deed, my status would increase. Every ti I wanted to save soone, it would increase for a limited ti.
I was still level 3. But that did not stop Clarent from boosting everything I had.
When I fought the ogre from before, power surged through my cells. But I regretted jumping in the front lines and ran away like a coward
"So that's why I lost all my buffs" I comnted, and prepared my blade to face Uruk-hai.
But today was a different sun. I had a determined look on my face to kill Uruk-hai and save everyone in the village. I did not want to run away. If I die, I die with honour and pride
. Like a hero.
There's no turning back now.
