Greatest Swordsmaster’s Game Streaming - GSGS Chapter 8: The Refund Knight

“Is this where the Death Knight appears?” Geomseong asked, drawing attention from the chat, which quickly filled with responses.

– “Yes, this is where you fight the Death Knight.”
– “Newbie cleaver!!”
– “I wonder how the Swordmaster will handle the newbie cleaver.”
– “Could he really avoid taking any hits against this one too?”
– “I doubt it. lol”

The viewers, who had high expectations from Geomseong, were skeptical about whether he could avoid every single hit from the Death Knight, a notorious boss known for shattering the pride of many newbies.

“I guess I should just go and see.”

Geomseong took a step forward. The monument before him had an intricately engraved knight figure.

……

Standing before the monument, everything was eerily quiet. Was there a hidden puzzle?

“Why isn’t it coming out?”

– “You need to touch the monument.”
– “Place your hand on the monument.”

“Oh.”

Geomseong placed his hand on the monument. Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Crash. The monument collapsed, and the Death Knight emerged. The name appeared above it.

─Death Knight─

The long-awaited newbie cleaver, the Death Knight, had arrived.

“Wow….”

Its health bar was significantly larger than the crystal lizard’s from yesterday. The Death Knight, towering over 2 meters tall and clad in red armor, wielded an incredibly fearsome great sword.

– “Here it comes!!”
– “The Death Knight!”
– “Let’s see how it goes~”
– “Really?”
– “Drumroll.”

The chat buzzed with excitement as viewers eagerly anticipated the battle.

─Graaah!

The crouched Death Knight stood up and slowly raised its great sword.

The once bustling chat fell silent, all eyes focused on the battle.

─Graaah!

The Death Knight swung its enormous great sword in a preemptive strike.

Geomseong quickly analyzed the trajectory and adjusted his stance.

Crash! The sword narrowly missed him, and he felt the shockwave.

“……!”

Despite the slight stagger, Geomseong’s sense of balance was impeccable. The virtual reality environment made recovery quick.

“Counterattack immediately.”

He advanced swiftly, his movements precise and agile.

The Death Knight’s great sword was now lodged in the ground, effectively disarming it.

“Hmph!”

Swoosh! Geomseong struck the lower half of the Death Knight, dealing significant damage.

As the Death Knight retreated, Geomseong pressed the attack.

─Graaah!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Three sword strikes flowed seamlessly.

The Death Knight swung its great sword horizontally.

Geomseong dodged by bending low and getting closer.

“At the same time!”

Swoosh! As the great sword approached, Geomseong slipped underneath it, avoiding the attack and striking back.

The great sword sliced through empty air. Geomseong’s perfect counter left the Death Knight stunned.

The two figures crossed each other in a flawlessly executed maneuver.

– “Insane, attacking like that?”
– “Huh? That actually works?”
– “Is he a boxer? lol”
– “How did you do that, you madman?”

The Death Knight, now disarmed, was vulnerable. Geomseong focused on the red spot in front of him.

“Where is it?”

With the height difference, the red spots were difficult to reach.

“There’s no other choice.”

Thud! Geomseong aimed his sword at the abdomen for the fastest possible strike.

─Graaah!

The Death Knight’s health bar was already nearing half.

Geomseong concentrated on defense and evasion.

─Graaah!

The Death Knight raised its left hand high and struck the ground.

Bang! The vibration slightly disrupted Geomseong’s balance, but he quickly regained it.

Suddenly—

Rustle! Crystals began to spike up from the floor.

– “lol. The bizarre pattern begins!”
– “Can you even dodge this?”
– “Absolutely impossible to dodge.”
– “How do you dodge this? lol”
– “The answer is to get out of the range.”

Crystals spiked up randomly, leaving no safe place.

Geomseong relied on reflexes and instinct. He performed dazzling footwork, avoiding the spikes by mere inches.

– “???”
– “Did he dodge all of that?”
– “Hah… This is unbelievable…”
– “This guy’s just using a different technique.”
– “How did he do that????”
– “Wasn’t it supposed to be impossible to dodge?”

Geomseong’s reflexes and avatar control were incredibly precise and flawless.

‘I see why they said it was difficult.’

A single mistake or hit could be fatal. The random crystal spikes were highly dangerous.

“Phew, that was close.”

Geomseong exhaled in relief. Despite the unexpected pattern, he managed to avoid the spikes.

As hooks of suspicion poured into the chat:

– “Did he react without knowing the pattern?”
– “Did he sense some killing intent?”
– “His concentration is insane!”
– “Is he some kind of animal? Does he have instincts or something?”
– “Is he really a beast?”

The chat began to speculate that Geomseong might be an AI. The scene seemed inexplicable otherwise.

─Graaah!

The Death Knight, seizing the moment, lifted its great sword and charged.

Geomseong remained calm and focused, parrying the charge with precise timing.

Clang! The great sword and long sword collided, and the Death Knight was pushed back.

‘Now.’

Geomseong fixed his gaze on the red dot and struck with full force.

With the Death Knight disarmed, additional damage was dealt.

‘Aim for a perfect critical hit here.’

Thud! One attack reduced the Death Knight’s health by a third.

– “Wow, what’s with the damage in one hit?”
– “Did it take double damage or something?”
– “Insane. Is it critical damage plus disarmament additional damage?”
– “This guy is a historical genius, a monster beast!”

The Death Knight, receiving unexpected damage, began to swing its great sword wildly.

─Graaah!

The uncontrolled swings made the attack patterns simple to read.

“Whew!”

Geomseong took a deep breath and began to dodge effortlessly.

Bang! He dodged the first swing by turning right.

Swoosh! He deflected a downward slash by angling his sword.

The great sword eventually became lodged in the ground.

Geomseong used the sword as a foothold, leaping up and charging.

– “It’s like something out of a comic book.”
– “What am I even watching?”
– “He’s basically superhuman, isn’t he?”
– “Is this the Wind Swordmaster or something?”

Tap-tap-tap! Geomseong reached the Death Knight swiftly.

The sunlight reflected off his longsword, making it shine brightly.

‘Just like this.’

Swoosh! The powerful swing struck the Death Knight’s neck.

─Graaah!

“Ugh.”

Geomseong grimaced. The damage wasn’t as high as expected, despite targeting a weak spot.

– “A new pattern is coming out.”
– “Even veterans need to focus now.”
– “It seems like he’s already beyond veteran level?”
– “No-hit, no-death clear isn’t possible. lol”

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Death Knight shook the ground violently with its great sword.

─Graaah!

In a rage, the Death Knight began swinging wildly again.

Geomseong dodged and parried with precise timing, disarming the Death Knight once more.

‘It’s over.’

Geomseong aimed his sword at the Death Knight for a final strike, but an eerie sensation gripped his neck.

‘What is this?’

Geomseong instinctively threw his body backward.

Rustle! Sharp spikes erupted from the Death Knight’s body.

─Graaah!

The Death Knight, covered in spikes, waited a moment before resuming its original state.

– “He dodged this too? That’s ruthless.”
– “Does he really sense killing intent?”
– “Is he some kind of AI?”
– “If it’s a supercomputer, it makes sense.”

Viewers continued to speculate about Geomseong’s extraordinary abilities, unable to fully comprehend his performance.
