Magnus of Ice

Ominous Aura

Within a majestic yet somber hall were multiple suits of armor as far as the eye could see. While not wholly black, the walls seemed to drain the light from the many torches that lined it. Its roof is as round as the Sistine Chapel, only missing the awe-inspiring art drawn by a famous turtle. Pillars were seen supporting the ceiling a few feet apart, dark marble outlined with golden borders. The suits of armor immobile, acting as sentinels that would block any intruder. The beginning of the hall should have had the same somber atmosphere, yet it was noisy, breaking the ever-silent hall.

*SWOONG*

As if puppetered, the once immobile suit of armor was now swinging its rusted sword against an intruder. Although its movements were rigged, it still maintained the stance a knight would have in battle.

*SLASH*

Swinging its sword in a downward strike, it narrowly misses the intruder. Said intruder was none other than Sung Jin-Woo, Magnus's baby. Ducking left, Jin-Woo activates his Vital Strike skill as he lunges forward.

*BAM*

Instead of the usual sound of flesh being cut open, a loud sound of metal clashing was heard. 'Fuck...'

*SWOOSH*

Reacting to the strike, the suit of armor simply does an upward diagonal strike, narrowly missing Jin-Woo's face. 'Damn it. My attacks aren't dealing any damage.' Jin-Woo thought as he managed to dodge the follow-up combo, thanks to his Sprint skill. Irritated by this hunking piece of metal, Jin-Woo unleashes his flurry of attacks, each enhanced by his Vital Strike skill.

'It's not that strong. It's just that its armor is too thick for my dagger to penetrate.' Although he was in the middle of battle, Jin-Woo was constantly analyzing each and every strike, attempting to find a solution. This was one of Jin-Woo's many positive characteristics; of course, his biggest characteristic was the one he used to fuck Magnus silly.

'Its movements are dull, and its attacks don't have much force. Its only strong point is its defense.' Jin-Woo concluded as he kept his cool. Still striking with all his might, just not with Vital Strike, as each one consumes mana points that he doesn't have. Dodging a major downward strike, Jin-Woo slightly chuckles as a specific memory comes to mind.

"In conclusion, it's unskilled. Doesn't it know that the bigger the motion, the bigger the opening?"

*SWISH*

As if teleporting, Jin-Woo appeared behind it as he thought about his first solo dungeon boss, Kasaka. 'I already have experience fighting an opponent like you, an opponent with armor so thick that my dagger didnt work on it!' Storing his dagger again, Jin-Woo reached out with his arms and enclosed them on the armor's head. With a quick motion, he successfully pulled it off.

*PULL*

Veins appeared in his forearms as he made the motion, and if Magnus had seen it, he would have cum in his pants. 'Damn, I wasted a lot of mana points on this fucker...' Jin-Woo lamented before he got distracted by a system notification.

[ALERT

YOU HAVE SLAIN A KNIGHT!]

"Huh, so this monster's name is Knight... makes sense," Jin-Woo said, gazing at the armor lying on the floor, once again immobile. "This type of monster is weak in drawn-out battles. Though can it even be called a proper monster?" Feeling inquisitive, Jin-Woo approached the armor with a hand holding his chin. "A doll-type monster... It'll be annoying if more of these guys show up in the future." With that, he headed back to the wall.

Pulling a torch off the wall, he said to himself, "Since I'm using a torch instead of a luminous stone, it's actually pretty dark in here." Going over the system notifications he received at the start, Jin-Woo speaks to himself while touching the mark Magnus left him, still feeling the cool touch of his mana.
