301 – Conclusion (2)
A dreary energy hovers around.
Before the storm.
A situation where each other’s momentum explodes and they are about to touch.
Normally, I would have waited here longer.
Generally, unless it is a surprise attack, defense is more effective than attack.
But there was no time for that now.
The buff time for [Berserk] And [Berserk] Is almost over, and the newly applied buffs [Divine Bless] And [Holy Mercy] Also do not last long.
10 Minutes.
I had to kill him in just 10 minutes.
“Hmm… !!”
So, I ran with my sword at a faster tempo than usual.
Hwang Seong-yeon also raised her sword as if to counter my reckless movements.
Kang-!
Kaga River-!!
Sparks fly.
The sword clashes with the sword, creating a cracking sound, and the sword’s magical power and divine power strengthen as if they are about to eat each other.
If it were an ordinary weapon, it would have been shattered long ago in this enormous wave of magical energy.
Because each other is bringing out all the power they can and pouring it into battle.
But the demon sword [Dain Slife] And the holy sword [Kelbilid’s True Repentance].
These two ‘Myth items’ shone on the battlefield, boasting durability that seemed as if they would never decline.
As it contained the power of ‘gods’ with different tendencies, its momentum was beyond imagination.
[The ‘silver moon shadow’ engraved on your body is constantly shining! The holy sword ‘Kelbilid’s True Repentance’ has become much more powerful.]
It doesn’t end there.
[Silver Moon Shadow] That I had previously acquired from Do Seung-min.
Thanks to this auxiliary rune, which raises the performance of sacred items to the limit, I was able to attack much more intensely than the power of the original holy sword.
Although it is not a rune optimized for a specific item (demon sword) as much as Hwang Seong-yeon’s [Hero Slayer], It matches well with the holy sword simply by increasing divinity sensitivity.
In addition, the effect of [Silver Moon Shadow] Becomes stronger as the divinity level increases, and the performance of the holy sword also increases in proportion to the divinity level.
Currently, my divinity level has increased to nearly 180, receiving all kinds of buffs and the [Holy Mercy] Effect.
At this level, it was not inferior to Hwang Seong-yeon’s [Hero Slayer] And the Demon Sword.
Pot-Pabat-!!
Can- Can-
Kagaga-!!
The swords keep clashing and blocking each other.
Cut, cut, stab, cut again.
Turn around and stab, cut, stab in the back space.
The attack using [Valiant Wave of Eternity] Was mixed with countless supernatural powers, but the S-class holder using the magic sword blocked it more easily than expected.
I tried using skills like [Combo Attack] And [Poison Attack] From time to time, but there was no significant effect.
In a fight with a powerful person who was an S-class holder, it was more effective to focus on using runes and handling magical power or sacred power rather than using ordinary skills.
“Fight from encroachment.”
And in such a fierce battle.
Suddenly, I heard Hwang Seong-yeon’s low words.
‘… ‘Ultimate skill!’
From Noble mtl dot com
As soon as you hear that voice, take a defensive stance.
This is the ultimate skill.
That’s a form of speech I’ve never heard of before.
His well-known ultimate skill is [Blood Master].
This is the ultimate skill of the [Hero Slayer] Rune, which increases the power of the magic sword [Dain Slife] To the limit and strengthens special abilities such as ‘super regeneration’.
And the statement clearly says, ‘Swallow the blood.’
In other words, this skill was another ultimate skill possessed by Hwang Seong-yeon.
Sseu-seu-.
Kkiiiii-!!
The encroachment took place in an instant.
The black magic power emanating from his toes and the magic sword seemed to be penetrating into the ground little by little, and then it split apart at an incredible speed and flew towards me.
The strange shape of the divided magical power was unusually in the shape of a weapon.
A weapon made of magical power.
Sword, spear, axe, hammer, arrow, mace….
An uncountable number of weapons were approaching me from all over, wearing black magical masks.
“Crazy… Flow with rapids!”
If you watch quietly, you will be defeated by those attacks in vain.
I quickly raised my magic power and countered with my ultimate skill.
[Jin Yusu Hwalgeom].
My body and sword moving as if dancing.
And the stream of water gushing out from the end.
He protected me by trapping me in a huge sphere created by water.
Chollarak-.
Ssssseu!!
The black weapons hit the water sphere and lose their strength.
Although it is a skill that does not contain divine power, it boasts a fairly resilient defense due to the large amount of magic power.
“… “It’s a skill I’ve never seen before.”
“It’s the same for everyone.”
Now that I think about it, I have never seen the evolved [Jin Yoosu Sword] In front of Hwang Seong-yeon.
I responded indifferently to his exclamation and then quickly resumed my fighting stance.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
No matter how high-ranking a holder possesses massive magical power, the body naturally becomes tired after using the ultimate skill.
Something that requires maintenance time along with some de-energization.
That’s the same for Hwang Seong-yeon and me.
There is no choice but to fall into a lull with some distance between us.
But this lull…
For me, who has a lot of ability to design battles, it was actually an opportunity.
“Power brake.”
First design.
Change the terrain.
The surrounding area splits apart with a roar echoing through the ground.
[Power Break] Of [Elemental Master].
It was a skill that shook and split the earth and completely changed the existing shape of the land.
And.
‘Rush Meteo.’
An additional fire attribute magic attack is added here.
Similarly, [Rush Meteor] Is a derivative skill of [Elemental Master].
An attack that drops several large balls of fire at a selected location.
It’s a skill I haven’t used often, but it’s quite effective in the current situation.
Because.
“Is it hiding? “The pattern is obvious, Do Jae-hyun.”
My plan now is…
It was because he was hiding himself amidst that spectacular attack.
I used an attack skill, but in fact, like [Power Break], The purpose was to create a unique terrain and hide my body.
The terrain has changed greatly and my appearance has disappeared.
Hwang Seong-yeon mutters with a bored expression.
This kind of stealth attack might not have any effect on someone of that level of skill.
But still, I had to try.
An opponent that I have to give everything I have to have a chance of winning.
Because that’s Hwang Seong-yeon.
‘Hide Attack.’
Use the derived skill [Hide Attack] At the same time as using [Stealth].
Anyway, [Stealth] Against Hwang Seong-yeon is discovered in less than a second.
In that case, it is best to continue the attack right before she is discovered.
Cracked earth and burning flames.
Through the gap, I approached behind Hwang Seong-yeon.
Kaaang-!!
However, Hwang Seong-yeon turns around and clashes swords.
He was able to detect and see through my movements in that short period of time.
Just like his confident tone, the attack was easily blocked.
‘It’s okay.’
But I felt that I had achieved the desired result.
Maintenance time needed when both parties used ultimate skills.
I used that time to relentlessly push Hwang Seong-yeon, and in the process, he focused on defense.
That’s right.
It was important to focus on ‘defense’.
‘Rather, a gap has appeared.’
The abilities of the magic sword [Dain Slife] And Hwang Seong-yeon are focused solely on attack and slaughter.
Sometimes it shows ridiculous abilities such as ‘super regeneration’, but the basic gist of its power is focused on extreme attacks.
The moment you defend yourself.
Conversely, a gap appears.
The power concentrated in the attack was able to shine the most in the attack.
“The thunderbolt of condemnation… !!”
A slight gap seen on Hwang Seong-yeon’s right shoulder.
A body part whose magic power has not yet been stored.
I took advantage of that opportunity and used a sacred skill that I had saved until the end.
[Thunderbolt of condemnation].
This is an attack skill contained in the legendary item [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath] Purchased at the auction house, and delivers a powerful blow to the opponent using only divine power.
Along with [Divine Slash], It was also one of the only two divine attack skills I possessed.
“…… !”
This is my first time.
For the first time since the battle began, an embarrassed expression appeared on Hwang Seong-yeon’s face.
The amount of divine power coming through the gap…
He also sensed that this was not an easy task.
[Thunderbolt of Condemnation] Is a skill similar to [Primal Onslaught] In terms of physical attack.
Because it is an offensive skill that literally gathers and gathers divine power with all its might and pours it out on the opponent, it is very powerful against those who wield the power of dark attributes or malicious incense gods.
When I first purchased the item at the auction house, I chose him, imagining only this moment.
‘That’s it.’
At that moment, I felt that the design I had drawn in my head was halfway through.
A brief gap where the enemy can be seen.
Making that gap even bigger and turning it into a weakness.
That was the core of this design.
Then, from now on, we will constantly attack the gaps that have become weak points.
And.
‘Ripley. ‘Are you listening?’
-… Uh?
An embarrassed voice is heard.
I guess he didn’t expect that he would suddenly call me during a fierce fight.
My fourth contractor and my first as a commander.
The vampire, Count Ripley, has not yet been de-summoned after the battle began.
Of course, I never forgot that fact.
‘I need your strength.’
-My power?
‘Yes.’
In fact, Ripley’s abilities were confirmed in advance as we reached the final area of the maze.
As a vampire with the status of a count, his abilities were flashy and seemed quite powerful.
But after much thought, I decided not to use it in this battle.
The first reason is that I have never worked with her before, so I don’t know what variables may arise during her battle.
This is because she judged that my power was more suitable than hers to deal with the second Ron Hwang Seong-yeon.
I thought it would be best to use Ripley’s powers after I became a little more familiar with them.
‘But that doesn’t mean it has no use.’
If I wasn’t going to use it at all, I would have canceled the summon from the beginning.
I’m not familiar with Ripley’s abilities…
It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with her vast ‘magic power’.
I spoke to her as I took out her [Her Order of Harmony] Item.
‘I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.’
-What?
‘I’ll borrow some of your magic power.’
-Huh? Huh? Now, wait a minute. Jaehyun Do, wait a minute. Hey! For a moment!
Use the [Magic Power Sharing] Rune quickly.
From Noble mtl dot com
This rune, a sub-rune in [Law of Contract], Is a rune that allows contractees to borrow up to 30% of each other’s magical power.
Originally, Ripley, who has just signed a contract and has low loyalty, might have rejected it, but [Order of Harmony], Which shows fraudulent performance in relation to contracts, has eliminated that intermediate process.
Thanks to this, the magic power in my body that had been drained from using large-scale skills and ultimate skills in succession was replenished in an instant.
This was the reason why Ripley was left behind from the beginning of the battle.
‘Gas is good.’
My body is filled with magical power.
Now it was time to move on to the second design.
