Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 75

: Basilisk.

A monster with a body length of up to 10 meters.

It was a high-level monster known to be comparable to an ogre.

I heard that the by-products from its body were expensive magic ingredients, so it was hunted by hunters and disappeared.

Why is there a monster here that is almost impossible to encounter?

‘They said there were no monsters in the original work.’

Yeah, that was the strangest thing.

Even though things are happening these days that are different from novels.

It wasn’t something as big as this that went wrong.

Rather, this should have stayed the same.

The reason things went wrong was because I acted differently from Raymond.

This place has absolutely nothing to do with my actions.

If that’s the case, then it’s been there from the beginning.

“Why is the basilisk here?”

Beatrice must have been extremely embarrassed, as her eyes were shaking violently.

I do not know either.

There was nothing I could answer if you asked me.

Still, if there is anything you need to know.

There was a situation where the basilisk died or moved away within a year.

So it makes sense that there was nothing when the main character came here.

‘The exit is over there.’

Dealing with a basilisk is very dangerous.

No matter how much I killed the mutant troll, the basilisk is different.

What made the Basilisk difficult to deal with was not its strength or size.

“Cure!”

A poison so powerful that even now we have to use magic to remove it.

A curse that petrifies you just by making eye contact.

And even shooting out a beam of light that petrifies living things.

At times, the basilisk could be considered superior to the ogre.

“Shouldn’t we find somewhere else?”

“no. “There is no other exit.”

It had already been confirmed that the back was blocked.

It is impossible to know where the exit is and find another exit from the situation.

However, if you wake him up to create a new exit, it could become more dangerous.

“First of all, be quiet and don’t wake him up. “If you wake me up and the situation escalates, you’ll be in trouble.”

Everyone nodded their heads vigorously at what I said.

We distanced ourselves from the basilisk to avoid the poison it exhaled.

“Luckily the poison doesn’t reach this far.”

The area where the basilisk was located was isolated, so the poison did not reach you if you left that area.

‘I can’t stay here forever.’

We don’t have enough food or time.

I plan to go out this time when the northern gate opens.

And to do that, we have to deal with that basilisk somehow.

“I’m going to turn.”

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t find an answer.

Fighting a basilisk in such a small space is suicidal.

No matter how much I use Aurors, it is difficult to withstand the Basilisk curse.

To avoid the Basilisk’s curse, you need a priest, but there is no priest in my party.

However, I couldn’t rely on Beatrice’s magic.

She is not strong enough to defeat the Basilisk yet.

“Is there one way?”

There was only one way to do it in this situation.

Whether it’s porridge or rice, I’m dealing with it.

‘I can’t do it alone.’

It is difficult for me to deal with poison and rays alone.

I don’t know if the space is wide.

The area where the basilisk is located is so narrow that it is half full just by its presence.

“Listen to me carefully from now on.”

To deal with him, you need the help of Mahol and Beatrice.

I explained to them how to deal with the basilisk.

Their eyes began to shine little by little as they listened to my explanation.

***

“be careful.”

“You shouldn’t get hurt.”

There was nothing Reina and Ellis could do against the Basilisk.

So, we had to avoid the area where the battle would affect us and wait until we dealt with the Basilisk.

“don’t worry. “I’ll be back soon.”

I patted their shoulders and turned to the basilisk.

“Beth. buff.”

“Haste Weight Strength.”

A brilliant light appeared on the bodies of Mahol and I, and a buff took place.

I couldn’t help but smile as my body was full of vitality.

This is my first time receiving a buff, and it feels really good.

In an instant, all of the body’s physical abilities increased explosively.

“Cure.”

And she finished by casting a cure on the mask I wore and the cloth Mahol wore.

Edge will not be poisoned for about 5 minutes.

But after 5 minutes.

“You must never make a mistake.”

“yes.”

Mahol’s eyes sank as he answered, and a bitter expression of death took over.

And then his body disappeared.

“Start right away Beth.”

“yes.”

Beatrice’s staff pointed at the sword I was holding.

“Enchant Blaze.”

Flames enveloped my sword.

The flames assimilated with my aura and burned even more intensely.

“Wind Cure.”

Beatrice then pointed to where the basilisk was and used magic one after another.

The wind filled with detox magic filled the Basilisk’s space and erased the poison that was inside.

“Huh… Huh…!”

She was breathing heavily.

Too much magic was used at once.

And among them were many high-grade magics.

I don’t waste the opportunity she gave me.

Tsutsutsu.

As soon as I stepped inside, the basilisk’s body started twitching.

The snake’s distinctive sound tickled my ears.

Before I knew it, the basilisk had opened its eyes and was looking at me.

Originally, my body was supposed to turn into stone and harden here.

Taaat.

But my body did not turn to stone.

Instead, it kicked off the ground and rushed at the basilisk.

‘I can feel it.’

I had my eyes closed.

Objects were perceived with all senses except sight.

I was worried about whether this would be possible.

Still, this was a strategy that reminded me of the feeling I felt when I encountered bandits on my way to the academy.

It went better than expected.

No, in fact, everything was more vivid than when I opened my eyes.

Kieeeeek!

The basilisk screamed.

And glared at me.

Heat began to gather in his eyes.

‘beam!’

It was too late to avoid it.

The basilisk’s tail was swinging.

Giiiing –

The sword begins to cry.

The fire burned louder and warmed the surrounding air.

“Sigh!”

Jump to avoid the tail. Then, he stepped on its tail and ran forward, swinging his sword.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The fire from the sword collided with the beam fired by the Basilisk.

Kieeeeek!

The beam disappeared in an instant, and Basilisk was furious that his attack was neutralized.

Bang kwaang!

The basilisk’s tail breaks the ground.

His eyes were completely focused on me.

Kagagagak.

The basilisk’s scales were as hard as steel.

Grumbling.

The area touched by the sword burned and melted its scales.

Kieeek!

The basilisk was in pain and swung its tail wildly.

Kwakkwak kwakwakwa!

I calmly dodged the tail and let it go to the side.

And when he saw an opening, he swung his sword.

Sigh!

The fire melted the scales and the sword split the skin where it had melted.

I raised my foot high and slammed it down to the ground.

Quad deuk.

The tail that was stepped on by my foot hit the ground, sending debris flying everywhere.

He stepped on the tail and climbed onto the body.

And ran to the head.

“Hwaap!”

My sword clashed with the basilisk’s teeth.

The fire rises and heats the basilisk’s mouth.

He stuck the sword into the roof of his mouth, which was writhing in pain, and grabbed his teeth.

Poison glands are visible in the mouth.

“Hmm.”

I held my breath and stuffed the cloth enchanted with the cure into it.

The poison glands were blocked, and the cloth turned purple.

I checked it and came down to the ground.

Now the basilisk cannot emit poison until the cloth disappears.

“Mahol!”

When the basilisk’s eyes turned fully to me, I shouted at the ceiling.

Before I knew it, Mahol had climbed all the way to the ceiling and fell on the basilisk’s body at my signal.

His dagger pierced the jewel between the Basilisk’s eyes.

No, it only made a scratch and fell.

The gem was harder than expected, and Mahol could not use his aura yet.

“Tsk.”

He clicked his tongue and swung his sword.

Sigh!

The sword cut deeply into the basilisk’s body.

The enchantment had already disappeared.

Kieeeeek!

The Basilisk’s gaze returned to Mahol, not me.

All attention was focused on Mahol, who suddenly appeared and was aiming for a critical spot.

This is dangerous.

“damage!”

I ran and shouted at Mahol.

Mahol hurriedly climbed the wall at my words.

Coo coo coo coo.

The basilisk followed behind him.

It smashed the wall with its huge body and thrust its teeth towards Mahol.

Mahol never looked back.

He couldn’t turn around, even if it was because I told him that if he made eye contact with a basilisk, he would turn to stone on the spot.

“run!”

He shouted at Mahol and swung his sword full of aura.

Feeling the strength draining from his body, the sword energy that escaped from the sword stretched his body and struck the basilisk’s head.

Kiek!

The basilisk was shaking its head in pain.

My body felt weak, but I started moving right away.

Even a little delay can become dangerous.

You never know when the cloth will melt, and if it disappears, this space will instantly be filled with poison.

And when that happens, our opportunity is lost.

“Bind!”

At that time, the ground erupted and bound the Basilisk’s body.

Beatrice, who recovered her mana, joined the front line.

I smiled at him and climbed on top of him.

And it ran straight to the head.

“Barrier!”

And the translucent membrane formed over my body deflected the rays fired by the basilisk.

I climbed onto the head to keep running without stopping.

I can feel the basilisk glaring at me.

“Let’s finish now.”

I raised my sword high.

Just like when it attacked the marauders, a huge aura was placed on the sword.

Fuquaaaaaa!

As soon as he stabbed the sword, the sword that penetrated the jewel exploded.

It couldn’t withstand the aura.

Cuuuuuu-

The huge body of the Basilisk fell to the ground.

The ground shook and dust rose.

“after… “I really don’t want to do this again.”

As I lay down on the basilisk’s body, I felt throbbing pain all over my body and vowed to never do something reckless like this again.

If you do this again, there will be no body left.

After catching the basilisk, everything went smoothly.

The basilisk’s poison glands and eye scales were dismantled and stored in Beatrice’s subspace.

And while my companions were taking a break, I headed toward the exit.

‘found.’

There was an altar next to the exit.

And there was a sword lying there, and it was covered in rust from how long it had been left there.

If others had seen it, they would have thought it was a useless sword, but not me.

It may seem like this now, but this sword has the potential to explosively increase the protagonist’s power.

‘But when the main character found it, he said all the rust had fallen.’

In the original, it was said that when the main character grabbed the sword, all the rust on the sword fell off on its own.

But I was a little worried whether it would happen even if I caught it.

“Ugh.”

It was time to grab the handle of the sword.

I felt a tingling pain in my grip and felt like something was leaving my body.

It wasn’t an illusion.

“crazy…!”

The sword was sucking blood.

And with that, rust fell to the ground.

“Huh…!”

Only after losing enough blood to the point of dizziness did I stop sucking in the black blood.

And the sharp blade of the sword was revealed to the world.

‘What if I lose my blood? I can get this.’

Although it was dizzying, I liked the result.

“But why is it so dizzy before my eyes…”

Objects tilted and my vision darkened.
