A sudden sharp pain shot through his left shoulder, and Lotte immediately felt that his left arm had completely lost its strength and he couldn't lift it at all.

Looking down, he saw three gaping, bloody gashes gushing blood, causing Lott to tremble with pain.

At this moment, the blue talent [Mist Silk] was activated, and magic power, like precise threads, quickly stitched up Lotte's wounds, preventing further deterioration.

Thanks to this talent, Lot's pain was greatly reduced. He shouted and activated [Oath Keeper], slashing horizontally at the guard.

The sword easily tore through the man's armor, sliced ​​through his skin, and finally got stuck in the gap between his bones.

Blood began to gush out, the dripping sound extremely jarring in the narrow passage.

The man stared wide-eyed at Lotte in disbelief, then slowly knelt down and collapsed to the ground.

Lott leaned against the wall, took out a life potion from his pouch, and drank it down.

He couldn't help but complain, "How did it turn into turn-based combat..."

Lot could only rely on [Oath Keeper] to attack at this moment, as he felt that ordinary sword swings could not penetrate his opponent's armor. Once [Oath Keeper] needed to be charged up, he could only passively defend.

"If only I could learn Valgard's swordsmanship."

He checked the skills on the panel: [Valgard Swordsmanship (Not Learned): 3%]

Unfortunately, progress has only increased by 2% in the past month.

At this rate, it will take Lotte at least a year to master this swordsmanship.

"Lotte, I've found the way."

Isolde behind him had also dealt with the guards, and Lotte immediately turned around and followed Isolde's steps.

This time, Isolde really found something good.

An iron gate appeared at the end of the passage, which looked like an important entrance no matter how you looked at it.

“We’ve basically explored all the underground passages,” Lott said, catching his breath. “This is the only place we haven’t been.”

Isolde was about to go inside when Lotte called out to her, "The entrance here is too narrow. If the enemy blocks it, we'll be trapped inside. I'll guard this place; you go in."

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Isolde smashed the door open with her shoulder and rushed inside.

Meanwhile, the pursuers behind Lot arrived, forming a squad of four, and launched an attack on Lot.

After Lot used his oath to block the attack of the leftmost guard, the guard on the right raised his sword and slashed at Lot's shoulder, causing Lot to cry out in pain.

Lott gripped his sword tightly, instinctively swinging his arm behind him and slashing at the man.

To Lotte's surprise, his seemingly ordinary sword strike knocked the defender to the ground, who even clutched his abdomen in pain.

"Ok?"

Lotte blinked, looked at the people on the ground, and then at the other guards around him.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Lotte didn't understand why the opponent was so weak, and that he could inflict damage on the opponent without using [Oath Keeper].

The way people around him looked at him changed noticeably; they no longer dared to approach him easily.

One of the guards glanced at his companion, then at Loth: "May I ask, sir, which member of the Valgard family are you?"

Lott pointed to himself: "Me?"

"The way you swung your sword just now resembled the Valgard family's swordsmanship, and we are Valgard family guards. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Valgard swordsmanship?

Lott quickly opened the panel:

Valgard Swordsmanship (Not yet learned)

I clearly haven't learned it.

Could it be that the current progress actually represents a grasp of the situation? Even if one only grasps 1%, is it possible to use a portion of the power of Valgard swordsmanship?

Lotte continued to look at the learning progress behind the skill:

[3%→4%]

Up!

The single sword strike from Lotte was equivalent to half a month of his hard training!

Although the opposing defenders are not as strong as Lot, they are certainly not weak either, around level 40.

Lotte's skills are tied to his real-world level. For example, a level 8 Lotte could strike a level 40 garrison and inflict damage.

This significant level difference caused the price of the difficult-to-learn Valgard Swordsmanship to skyrocket.

As for why Lotte and Isolde didn't experience a surge in growth during training, it's because Lotte never even touched Isolde.

"Misunderstand?"

Lott took out a life potion and drank it all in one gulp to heal his injuries.

Before setting off, Isolde gave Lot many life potions; the items given by the princess were no ordinary items.

Name: Lott

Race: Human [Unlimited Adaptability]

Class: Paladin

State: Excitement

Rank: Lv. 47 [Master Level]

Strength: 92 (+20)

Agility: 35 (+20)

Constitution: 103 (+20)

Perception: 51 (+20)

Spirit: 22 (+21)

This is a top-tier potion that can temporarily and significantly boost all attributes!

“There is no misunderstanding between us.” Lothar raised his sword and pointed it at the guards. “I am a knight of Isolde, not one of Valgard.”

As the group talked, guards gradually approached Lot from a distance, gathering in a large, imposing crowd.

Lotte stretched out his legs, lowered his shoulders, and assumed the same fighting stance as Isolde.

You only need to kill 96 more people to learn the Valgard Swordsmanship!

Lott stood alone at the narrow entrance, with the door that Isolde had smashed open behind him.

With walls blocking his way on both sides, even though the enemy was numerous, they could only attack Lot in a line.

This is an excellent defensive position, and also an excellent position to farm stats.

The defender shouted, "Then you can die!"

The battle has begun.

Taking advantage of the terrain, Lotte cut down his opponents one by one.

He only uses [Oath Keeper] for defense and recovery. After blocking an attack, he immediately swings his sword at his opponent to advance his learning progress in Valgard swordsmanship.

[Valgard Swordsmanship (Not yet learned): 4% → 10%]

Lotte's arms ached terribly, and his armor was completely covered in the enemy's blood.

He gritted his teeth and continued to swing his sword.

[Valgard Swordsmanship (Not yet learned): 10% → 30%]

A spear pierced Lot's abdomen. He cut the spear in half and pulled the spearhead out of his body.

[Valgard Swordsmanship (Not yet learned): 30% → 50%]

Lott is no good.

I chopped for several minutes straight, I was so tired, my eyes were dry from chopping.

He took out a bottle of life-saving potion from his pouch and drank it. His fatigue vanished, and all his injuries were healed.

[Valgard Swordsmanship (Not yet learned): 50% → 80%]

Lotte's sword moved faster and faster, and his posture became more and more like Isolde's.

The surrounding guards also noticed that Lotte's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce; this knight was growing stronger with each battle!

The guards were struggling to hold their own, and for a moment no one dared to step forward again.

Lotte gasped for breath, staring at the guards in front of him, and reached into his pouch to get the life potion.

But the defending soldiers suddenly retreated in unison, clearing a large open space.

Just as Lotte was wondering, a mage holding a staff stood in front of him.

The reason why mages are important is that they can use ranged attacks to solve problems that warriors cannot solve.

For example, Lotte, who is now guarding the entrance.
