Closed Beta That Only I Played - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Oizuki Brothers (5)

However, the problem was that if I took a break for even a few days, I would regress back to the beginner and forget all these experiences and skills just like when I studied.

I looked for MMORPG-type games mainly because my efforts were always rewarded and I could maintain the experiences and skills that I obtained. But I was also motivated because MMORPG format games obviously had a number of ways for me to make up for my weak control, for example, stats, items, and skills.

I could say confidently that I achieved such heights that nobody could compare with.

Even if I didn’t take into account the stat points I obtained by leveling up, all the stat points obtained from my 9 titles as well as d from various events and quests were literally enormous.

Besides, I had the crucial Mutual Growth trait.

I also had exceptional items, in particular, the myth grade weapon, the +5 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword was an item that was as good as any legendary item. Of course, my armor or accessories were second to none.

For example, not only the myth-grade Forgotten Hero’s Cloak that I wore this time, but also the legend-grade functional skill ring was a premier item that boasted of a powerful effect.

Of course, my skills lagged behind my stats and items a bit.

Honestly, except for the limited skill ‘Savant”, only skill points were required to obtain the other skills.

Nonetheless, it was obvious that all the skills were amazing, especially Blink with zero cooldown.

Anyway, it was because I had an appropriate mix of stats and items and skills that I was widely recognized as a strong player by everybody.

Nonetheless, my items and skills were now sealed. So, I was left with only stats.

Moreover, since I was a wizard, I invested all my stats in my intellect.

And my choice has never disappointed me so far.

However, when all of the ice-type skills that would showcase my Intellect disappeared, it became the worst situation since it was now virtually useless.

‘Oh my …’

Although I was standing proudly, I felt empty deep down because this was so ridiculous especially considering that my skills were sealed.

If I had kept my skills, I would have made up for the absence of items because of my sold basic stats.

However, since I was a wizard, the absence of my skills was really painful to me.

‘Check the item window. Check the skill window.’

Of course, I also checked the skill and item windows just in case.

Messages couldn’t lie, but this was not something I could accept immediately with only the message alone.

[List of items you are currently wearing.

-No equipped items exist.]

[List of skills you currently possess.

-No available skills.]

With some expectation I opened the windows, but nothing was there.

At the moment, I felt like my limbs were cut off.

And I was worried about how I would fight.

Since all my skills were gone, my intellect became a useless stat.

Of course, even if I had no items, I had a certain level of strength and agility thanks to my nine titles, but they seemed to be too insufficient for me to rely on.

In the end, all I had left was my stamina and willpower.

In other words, I would be able to endure well, but that would not help me secure victory.. It would only delay my defeat.

So, I cast an inconspicuous glance at the Oizuki brothers.

Their brothers were still grinning widely as they had since they first appeared.

It seemed that they had quite a lot of experiences like this, and that’s why they were so confident.

Then they charged at me right away.

Puck!

Of course, I’ve never had this experience before.

So, I couldn’t do anything about it even though Oizuki, who introduced himself as having the Item Master trait, charged at me with a long spear in his hand.

All I could do was move two steps to the side.

But it seemed impossible for me to avoid Oizuki’s attack by simply retreating.

In the end, he succeeded in stabbing my ribs with the spear.

I looked down at the spear stuck in my side. Of course, I could endure a hit like this because I allowed my opponents’ attacks to hit in the past. As a matter of fact, I had let arrow attacks and ranged magic attacks hit me so many times.

Honestly, I had no problem defending against such attacks, and I didn’t think such attacks were a big deal because I could counter attack strongly enough to break the chain of the enemies attacks.

But I had no skills to use this time.

“…”

I especially didn’t have the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword that I used against the enemy’s melee attacks with great results these days.

Of course, I still had my two hands and feet.

However, Oizuki was attacking me with the long spear perhaps because he had this kind of combat experience in the past.

In other words, with the spear stuck in my side, I could not attack him with my hands and feet properly.

As if he read my mind, Oizuki shouted loudly, “Lightning Strike!”

Puck! Puck!

Oizuki pulled out the spear, then stabbed it again into my side correctly.

And I realized that Oizuki did not rely on his trait only because he attacked so fast.

Since all my items were gone, my health drained quickly as well.

But the problem was that Oizuki was not my only opponent.

“Soar! Column of Fire!”

Qawahang!

“Argh!”

I groaned before I knew it when the column of fire scorched my body.

And the Oizuki brothers seemed to be very happy with my suffering.

“Hahaha. How do you feel when you are fighting us with your hands and feet tied?”

“Isn’t it very fun? Then I’ll show you something more interesting. Look carefully.”

The Oizuki brothers spoke to me one by one, then Oizuki, who possessed the Item Master trait, took out one more spear.

Then he shouted, “Synchronize!”

Of course, I was not stupid enough not to understand that word ‘synchronize.’

I could not allow something like item synchronization to happen.

However, the two long spears attracted each other and merged into one.

The spear became bigger and longer than before.

Bung! Bung!

Oizuki opened his mouth, while twisting the spear that had become much larger than before in the air.

“Of course, you don’t have to worry too much. Even if you combine two legendary grade items, they don’t turn into a myth grade. But my long spear has still become much stronger than before. Death Spear!”

Bang!

Kudangtangtang!

Oizuki’s long spear penetrated my body right away after he hurled it.

Because of the impact, I could not help but be pushed back and thrown down on the ground, just like the countless enemies thrown away by the attack of my Ice Wave.

“Hey, look at my attack too! I can do it as well, man. Look carefully! Fire Storm! Fire Storm! Synchronize! Double Fire Storm!”

This time his younger brother Oitsuki, who possessed the trait of Skill Master, attacked me.

He merged two Fire Storms on each hand and threw it at me.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

It was like rain of fire, or more than rain of fire.

Nonetheless, I still had quite a lot of health.

I had about 3.7 million health, and 24,000 stamina and 14,000 willpower, but I had no proper means to back them up. So, I had no other choice but to endure as long as I could.

That’s why I momentarily thought that I got deceived.
