I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

‘Wow.’

I marveled as I watched the party members’ performance on top of Ichika’s created shadow.

‘They’ve really gotten a lot stronger.’

‘I’d like you to leave the first 15 minutes to us.’

Before entering here, I was a little anxious about Yoo-ri’s request.

But now I understand why she said that.

It seems like they all gained some insight from their training with master.

Without any instructions from me, the party members moved in a well-coordinated manner.

They even came up with fresh routes at times, which were more creative than when I gave instructions.

‘There are still some rough edges, but… this is amazing.’

Among them, Soup’s performance stood out the most.

Riding on Ichika’s shadow,

She immediately jumped into the middle of the enemy and cast Provoke.

Before the skeletons could swarm her,

Whirl!

A magic thread from LLim Ga-eul above aimed at Lee Yoo-ri.

Lee Yoo-ri grabbed the magic thread with one hand and quickly returned to her position.

Then, Kang Do-hee and Alice poured attacks on the monsters from both sides.

Or, when Sophia’s Healing Rain cooldown was over, it swept through the enemy lines.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!

‘Soup provokes in the middle of the enemy, and then the party members with high damage output finish them off…’

It was a simple but effective strategy.

However, it was not a method I could use.

Because if I, as a melee damage dealer, were to incorporate such a variable-filled tactic, the uncertainty would be too great.

In the game, it was also impossible to control LLim Ga-eul’s magic threads to bring back party members.

‘Shin Se-hee is having a blast.’

The blue gem flitted about in the air, busy and excited.

When I followed its gaze, the scene was a highlight.

Thinking that Shin Se-hee was also present in this battlefield, I couldn’t help but smile.

‘Hmm, I wonder if we can get audio support from that side to this side. If so, I could even entrust the command to Shin Se-hee.’

After all, she had awakened the Insight trait, and her natural intelligence was exceptional.

If I taught her tactics and ran a few simulations, she would be able to command much more intricately than me.

‘And the best part is that she can view the battlefield from a top-down third-person perspective. With that, she could even command this kind of tactic.’

There was no doubt that Shin Se-hee already played a significant role in Utopia.

But perhaps this was what she truly wanted.

‘I should go out and tell her.’

Then she would surely light up with excitement.

Puhwaaaaak!

Sophia’s Healing Rain created another area.

At this rate, I didn’t need to intervene, and the party could keep going until the boss.

Well, I could leave it all to the party members…

But.

‘I’m getting a bit antsy too.’

I had also achieved significant growth with the acquired Affinity trait.

It was only natural that I wanted to test this growth in a real battle.

‘And it’s been 15 minutes anyway.’

Thud!

I jumped off the shadow and landed next to Lee Yoo-ri.

“Soup.”

“Huh? Has it been 15 minutes already?”

“Yes. I’ve seen enough of your cool moves. Now let me have a bite.”

At my words, Lee Yoo-ri let out a deflated laugh.

“Phew. Really? What role do you want?”

“The same role that Sophia just took.”

“Okay, just a moment!”

Ta-at!

An explosive dash burst forth from Lee Yoo-ri’s sturdy thighs.

She kicked her way through the enemy lines, leading with her shield.

The skeletons formed a thick wall to block her charge, but they were knocked down like bowling pins by Lee Yoo-ri’s momentum.

When she had ventured deep enough into the enemy lines to be slightly dangerous, she immediately slammed her shield down.

Kaa-a-a-a-ang!

A powerful Provoke spread through the air, shaking the atmosphere.

The range of the Provoke was clearly much wider than before.

The swarming skeletons reminded me of a horror movie scene, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Wow, I asked for the same role, and I get a special dish. I’m going to burst.”

But still, my hand tightly gripped the hilt of Moonlight.

“Still, if I can’t do this after it’s been prepared like this, I’m not a man.”

At the moment Lee Yoo-ri grabbed Lim Ga-eul’s magic thread and lifted herself up,

Moonlight was drawn from its sheath, scattering blue light.

One Sword, Two Cuts.

The drawn sword slashed horizontally across the horizon.

Swish

The skeletons that had swarmed in suddenly stopped moving.

And then, with a swishing sound, thousands of skeletons were cut in half, their bodies and armor sliced through.

Lee Yoo-ri and the party members turned to me with disgusted looks.

“Hey, Jin Yuha, that’s enough.”

“We fought hard today… We’ll get scolded again like this…”

“Tsk.”

“Junior… I was really excited to get such a great role today, but… I’m overshadowed by you again…”

“My shadow, 30% of your power… Is it really?”

No.
Come on.
You guys were great.

.

.

The theme of this Demon World Gate was hell.

And the boss in charge of this place was a Lich, who governed arrogance.

A skeleton that resurrects the dead and uses evil magic, just as you imagine.

‘The setting was cliché, but the battle with this guy was quite fun.’

The waves of enemies that rushed in at the beginning, the attacks that poured down like a bullet hell game, and the status-altering magic all made the battle with this boss enjoyable.

‘Well, with our current strength, there’s no easier opponent than this.’

It didn’t take us long to clear out the more than 100,000 skeletons.

Soup, who specialized in mob control, was particularly outstanding, and more than half of our party members could wipe out hundreds of enemies with a single attack.

‘Originally, our party was formed to be strong against a small number of powerful enemies.’

Compared to the time it took us to deal with the Blue Crab wave, this was a significant improvement.

The skeletons, not a single one left standing.

The only one left standing was Utopia.

Clatter.

At that moment, one of the fallen black skeletons began to stir.

Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter.

The fallen skeletons began to stir, their bodies writhing.

“What the… Are they coming back to life?!” Ga-eul exclaimed, startled by the creepy sight.

“No, it’s not that,” Sophia replied, though she wasn’t entirely sure.

I looked up, and the black-coated skeletons began to transform, their dark coating fading to reveal white bones. The energy that had left them began to gather in one place.

Then, a skeleton in a robe appeared, floating in the air with bright red flames in its eyes.

“Gggggggggggggggg…”

“How dare you interfere with my plans, you insignificant creatures!”

I clicked my tongue at the boss, who had a rather unpopular voice. Despite being a popular boss character, not everyone liked his voice, which sounded like two voices overlapping. In the game, many players complained about his speech, but few asked the developers to change it. After all, players could just attack him before he finished speaking.

“The arrogance of…”

Before the boss could finish his sentence, I took a step forward.

•
•
In an instant, Jin Yuha dashed past the boss and landed behind him.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

Countless cracks appeared on the skeleton’s body, and it shattered into tiny pieces that rained down to the ground.

“Huh?”

“Did you… did you defeat it?”

“That’s not something you should be saying.”

Thanks to Sophia’s unintended resurrection spell, the boss quickly restored his body and floated back into the air, his eyes blazing with anger at the interruption of his carefully planned entrance.

“I…”

But before he could finish his sentence,

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

Jin Yuha’s sword danced again.

The boss gathered himself once more in the air.

“You… you…”

He seemed truly enraged now.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

“Skipping unnecessary talk is the unspoken rule.”

“…”

“…”

Everyone was left speechless by Jin Yuha’s outrageous actions.

.

.

.

-What the hell is this?

-No… Our skeleton also seemed to have prepared some cool lines… Let him speak!

-Attacking during transformation time, how cruel! Hahaha!

-Wow, he’s just not visible!

-He disappears for a moment and then appears, already slashing!

-Hilarious! The skeleton seems pissed off, but he can’t speak!

-Wait, let me speak!

-??? : I’ll try to see how far the playback goes.

-A tense confrontation with the boss? A long and boring explanation of the world? The throne of the demon race… While listening to one line of dialogue, Jin Yuha would rather swing his sword once more. Competition? Hatred? A bloody battle? Instead of doing such things, Jin Yuha would swing his sword at least 165 times more.

-Crazy! Hahaha!

The broadcast of Utopia was truly a festive atmosphere.

Not only was it the growth of the party members who fought fiercely without being pushed back even an inch against the overwhelming number of enemies, but also the representative of Utopia, Jin Yuha’s performance, was remarkable.

It was overwhelming. It was refreshing. It seemed like he wouldn’t lose to any enemy.

Jin Yuha was exceeding expectations.

Even the voice of Shin Se-hee, who was seriously broadcasting live, naturally became cheerful.

“Ahah! That skeleton demon, he seems to be scared of Jin Yuha!”

The skeleton, which appeared with a dangerous aura, seemed to have given up and revealed itself in the distant sky where the sword couldn’t reach.
