Wounded Paladin – Chapter 189

Chapter 19: Instruction Manual vol. 8.0②

Sensei’s Dagger
The official name is Ansalor.
This is a famous weapon that appears in various fantasy works.
According to its name (Answerer), Sensei would say:

“Shall I reveal your future, Master?”
→ “Unfortunately, Master, you have no future. This is the end point.”

Originally, Sensei planned to deliver that catchphrase, but during the battle against Angel Alter, he was bombarded with beams, causing his moment to fall flat.

In this story, Ansalor possesses the ability to directly interfere with various things, allowing Sensei to manipulate space and frequently use Rune Engraving Magic.
By utilizing the spatial interference ability of Ansalor, he can inscribe runes directly into space, resulting in almost zero mana consumption.
In other words, it’s a weapon perfectly suited for Sensei, allowing him to unleash high-powered attacks with exceptional cost-effectiveness.

Rune Engraving Magic
Also known as Rune Magic. This magic is activated by using special characters imbued with unique powers known as runes.

Legacy of the Light Dragon (Osel Shift Fish)

Mysterious powers granted by the gods.

Even when names are revealed, their uses may remain unclear, as is the case with Yamada’s skills.

Skill Appraisal
The process of determining what skills a person possesses.
There are many unclear points, such as, “Is it impossible to use a skill unless it’s listed?” or “Does that mean if I don’t have the skill for washing dishes, I can’t wash dishes well?”
It wouldn’t be surprising if some secrets were hidden there.

Skill vs. Skill
The higher the rank of a skill, the greater its effect. Therefore, when opposing skills cancel each other out, only the effect of the higher-ranked, more powerful skill manifests as a phenomenon. However, a reduction in the canceled skill’s effect can be expected.

Trust and Confidence
A unique skill of Yamada the Holy Knight, a boy from another country.

Skill Defender

It protects himself and his companions from malicious skills.

Holy Sword
A sword created by a boy who was summoned as a blacksmith (more accurately, a creator) in the past.
It only exhibits its abilities in the hands of a suitable wielder.
During the boss battle in the Mirror Labyrinth, it was treated as a blunt weapon, due to Yamada’s lack of skill at the time and the excessive hardness of the Crystal Humanoid.
However, had Yamada been the one who later cleaved the Crystal Humanoid that appeared in the Sealed Labyrinth, he would have been able to achieve similar feats with the Holy Sword.

Moreover, knowing its True Name is one key to unlocking the sword’s full potential.

The True Name, given by the creator blacksmith boy, is Guardian Sword Rifire.
The name derives from the boy’s wish to be a sword that protects friends, companions, and the people, as well as from the meaning of “amplifier.”
Many points remain unclear.
