132 – A crisis is needed.
Even as the shouts of the shelter erupted one by one, the battle between me and the clone was so intense that I could not even think about such things.
Even though they defended themselves, thousands of shields were chipped away with a single punch or kick, and they greedily bit each other.
Then, when you take a moment to catch your breath, the shield is restored again, a tedious routine that repeats itself.
Boom! Quang! Puff puff puff puff!!
The space where I and my clone were competing was already far outside the shelter.
＜02:24:21＞
As we exchange ideas, doesn’t it suddenly happen that the replicas even resemble the original? I thought:
I was able to catch a glimpse of the guy who naturally aligned with me and moved away from his shelter, looking a little relieved.
We were calmly looking at the replica, but the environment around us was boiling like a furnace.
As if the end of the world had come, the dance of lightning and flames engulfing our surroundings unfolded violently and tore through the ground.
Pajijikㅡ Kwajijik!!
Grumbling!! Chii Iik ㅡ
Khehehe-
But even though I was in that situation, I couldn’t hold back the laughter that came out.
The desire to improve, forced from some point on, has always been in my heart.
Am I moving forward compared to before?
Than yesterday, from the previous stage, from an hour ago.
Since this game started and I have been in a position to protect people, I have constantly asked myself such questions.
But while fighting this guy, I feel it in real time.
The clone’s movement, breathing, muscle twitching, gaze, and blood flow movement.
Such things were becoming more and more noticeable.
I was able to understand myself for the first time by confronting ‘me’, and it was a strange experience where my level increased dramatically compared to before.
It was such a special moment.
It felt like I was recalling the battle with Rosherdin and calmly recovering one move after another.
Every single punch he delivers is still heavy. Even if I try to hit it just once, it often evades and dodges all of my attacks with its strange movements.
At the same time, judgment is also incredibly quick.
If I miss even a moment, I will be the one lying on the cold white floor and staring at the ceiling.
But as time went by, I was getting ahead micron by micron, and as time accumulated, I found room to add variations.
‘How about this?’
Suddenly, the distance widens and the fingers stretch out.
And it freezes right at your fingertips!!
Kwajajajag-!
An anomalous combination of attacks that has been useful in actual combat since it was used against the black leopard.
I was preparing a linkage device thinking it wouldn’t work, but I saw a guy whose legs had been frozen at the ends.
Are we definitely starting to get ahead now? The thought passed by.
He lightly infuses magic into his cloak, covering it in flames, breaking the frozen state, and then running at me again.

‘Oh, you’re showing your wit by using a cape like that?’
Isn’t this guy’s creativity better than mine? Does that make you a little angry?
Feeling upset for no reason, I pushed him even more harshly.
“You bastard!! Why are you better than me!!”
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!
Like a crazy person, he continued to throw hundreds of punches, and a single bead of sweat was running down his face.
The difference that had been widening little by little suddenly widened to the extent of unilaterally taking the lead in the attack and defense.
“You’re not planning on ending it like this, are you? Try making it more enjoyable!!”
I wasn’t always in a superior state during the battle.
There was a time when I almost died when I first met the leader of the execution squad, there was a time when I almost melted into a dragon’s breath, and there was a time when I almost got cut into pieces by a watchman, although it wasn’t real.
This guy is probably constantly searching in his head for a card that can turn the situation around.
＜02:11:55＞
And that resulted in dozens of tentacles spitting something out at me from the body of the guy that quickly became huge.
‘Venom!’
The black snake’s venom spewed out one after another following my footsteps.
Crash! Clap!
Chachachachachacha!
I heard the sound of something melting in my ear, but I didn’t have time to check.
Should I fight back and polymorph?
Polymorph consumes a lot of mana, so if you give everything here, will you be able to respond to variables when you return to the shelter?
Or should we respond by turning into a giant?
‘No… I have a strong intuition that I should save the giant version.’
– Wow… Wow…
He and I both vomited at the same time.
The fluid in my body spread everywhere, and I continuously inhaled the powerful aphrodisiac properties, and my mind became confused with disgust.
‘Phew, he had the characteristics of a dog. It was a trait that was helpful in battle, right?’
For a moment, Jin’s face gave me aphrodisiac properties.
‘Let’s hold on as humanoids. We’re starting to get ahead, but we can’t engage in a war of attrition.’
Even in a hectic situation, I decided to walk to save more energy.
I wanted to somehow save my magic power, kill this guy, come back, and use Polymorph.
This guy was also desperate because he was using his last move, and it was true that he was a threat.
For some reason, I had an intuition that I could do it.
But if danger came while holding on, that was fine.
I realized something while watching the battle between Kippenical and Red Tuxedo.
I shouldn’t stay at this level.
So you have to look for it, it will definitely be there.
A way to lift me to a higher place.
And for that method, I need to be pushed to the edge a little more.
In the end, I focused on avoiding his attacks by developing maximum speed without transforming.
Venomous liquid was coming from its mouth and tentacles, and its sharp, blade-like hands were cutting at my expected avoidance point.
‘This bastard transformed into three animals at the same time?!’
I also just thought about it in my head after doing partial polymorph, but I was already using this guy in real life.
The guy who brought a black snake, a seeker’s tentacle, and a mantis monster’s hand knife at the same time gradually blocked my escape route, and eventually even used ice to trap me in one place.
However, I immediately used Suzy’s characteristics to escape and moved to the farthest place from him…
Fuuuk!!
“Ugh-what?!”
It was clearly evaded into Suzy’s characteristic space and had reached the halfway point, but somehow it accurately pinpointed my location and even cut through the space with its hand knife and stabbed my body.
He quickly turned around, but received a large cut on his side, and quickly drank the satiety seeds and potion.
‘Here we come again!’
Fuuuk-!!
The side of the space was torn apart and blades came in one after another and began to cut various places like crazy.
Chaeng-chae chae chaeng!
I was trapped in the space and thought as I struck down the huge hand sword with a powerful sword.
‘You only think about cutting… No, I told you not to even think about it, right?’
Chew the advice of Kippenical and distribute magical power efficiently.
He began to calmly cut his hands.
And when the number of evasions exceeded 100, I felt the mana’s magical energy fading ever so slightly, and immediately it leaped forward powerfully.
ㅡ!!!
“In the end, a copy is just a copy!!”
Seogeeokeuk!!
I cut off one of the guy’s arms, and at that moment, his clone went berserk, spreading poison in all directions.
The amount was enormous, as if the entire space was to be filled with poison.
‘Well, that won’t be able to handle the magic power, right?’
However, as I watched the speed at which my exhausted magical energy was replenishing, I realized again that it was a completely different environment from Earth.
‘You might be tired for a while.’
Even if I tried to escape the space, I couldn’t escape because it was surrounded by something like a transparent membrane.
‘What is this block?’
Boiling Snake’s Nest (Unique)
– Can only be cast when dealing with an enemy stronger than yourself.
– Grants absolute space to a certain range. The enemy can never escape unless the caster allows it.
– Sprays poison until the space is completely full.
– If all magical energy is used up before the space is filled with poison, magical energy is restored using parts of one’s own body as collateral.
‘Such a bastard – he didn’t have those characteristics? ‘Are there some characteristics that are newly awakened when it’s time to die?’
It was highly likely because it was a unique characteristic of black snakes.
It’s probably not a trait that he developed on his own.
And as described in the description, poison began to rapidly fill the space from the bottom.
I used the float to forcefully slit the guy’s neck while floating in the air.
Seogeogeuk-
When dark red blood spurted from the cracked neck, time suddenly turned back.
.
.
.
“Hey! It’s a gray watch! There are two left?”
I was a little confused because I hadn’t thought about turning back my writing time.
And the guy had transformed into a body suitable for evasion.
With its huge body reduced to 1/10th the size, it ran in all directions and spread poison.
I have one arm cut off and am running around naked with human legs and a snake’s head. Why is the shame on me?
“Stop it, you crazy guy!!”
He seemed afraid that someone might see him.
But the final struggle was indeed persistent. His speed was slightly faster than mine, perhaps due to the characteristics of a black snake, and he was still dodging my attacks using box fighting and sword fighting skills.
And as the number of people decreased, so did the space, so the place for me to be was greatly reduced.
At some point, the guy cut off his remaining arm to replenish his magic power, and then he looked at the sky for the last time and opened his mouth wide.
Buweeek!
“Wow – you crazy bastard…”
Then, he poured out all the poison at once, cutting off his own legs, and only his upper body remained, looking up at me.
Now the venom was surrounding everything except where I and the guy were.
Sigh-
“What are you splitting?”
Kkkkkkkkkkk-
Hearing the sound of his laughter that gave me goosebumps all over my body, I also smiled back.
And soon the poison attacked me.
Cheolpeeoeookㅡ
Chieeek-
– You become addicted to an extremely powerful poison.
– Stamina decreases by 0.5% Per second.
– Addicted to an extremely powerful poison…
– Physical strength…
‘It’s strong. It’s much stronger than the poison in our shelter’s moat, isn’t it?’
The damage per second was much higher, and there was no limit to the duration of the poisoning.
In short, once addicted, there was no answer.
But strangely enough, I was a little excited.
‘Whoa…Let’s give it a try.’
When he turned into a black snake, something like lightning struck his head.
I was vaguely expecting a picture like this.
A situation where I am addicted.
Nevertheless, the crisis was neglected in the name of conserving strength.
Although the risk is high, I decided that it was a gamble worth taking.
I thought it might be because I had a strong intuition from the morning.
I have an ominous intuition that today is the day when I will make a big change.
Either it is good or bad.
And I had no intention of avoiding it in order to move forward.
‘At first, I tried to switch to all of the opponents, but…’
Now all I have to deal with are clones and venom that will soon kill me.
The shield melts in an instant, and vitality begins to decline.
Even a strong exoskeleton cannot prevent the outer skin from melting.
However, even though I was experiencing terrible pain, my mind was as clear as ever.
My gently closed eyes began to urgently chase after something I realized during the event.
‘These things surrounding me are not real…’
I strongly reject the reality of what I am experiencing.
Dudeuddeud-
The poison rippled and flew in all directions before sinking again.
It is a failure.
Suddenly a question occurred to me.
Is it enough to reject the world around me?
Doesn’t my rotting body already clearly show that it exists?
‘It doesn’t work because you keep trying to change external factors. ‘The goal should have been to reach a point where it doesn’t matter if such risks are real.’
It had to be that way. The poison had already penetrated deep into my bones, staining my body fluids dark red.
The edge of self-inflicted death.
‘If you don’t want to die, do something, you bastard!!’
I bit my tongue and tore it out.
But rather, the pain disappears and the thoughts that stayed in my head expand to the moment I met the black snake and I begin to constantly desire its existence.
– The trait [Insight] Has reached its peak.
.
.
.
I had no idea how much time had passed.
However, I found out that I was still on stage through a message that came to my mind.
＜01:48:01＞
– We have realized the miracle of creating our own characteristics!
– Activates the attribute [Unification].
