299 – Phase 2 – 3
‘7 Consecutive hits, then a breath, and finally a charge pattern.’
I took action after seeing the preparation movements and figuring out what kind of pattern it would be at once. He moved his arms and attacked just as I expected.
Smash the ground with your right hand, release a short breath with your left hand, swing your left foot and right foot alternately 3 times, then release a breath with your right hand again, then strike 3 times in a row and release a long breath toward the front. Spewed
While jet-black flames scorched the empty air, I had already guided the direction the charge would come in. He lunged in the direction I was standing, thrusting his head into it.
I rolled between my legs and ran away, dodging his torso headbutt. After completing the charge, the World Eater turned his body 180 degrees and lowered his head exactly in front of where I stopped his feet.
It was a deal time. He hit him with his fist near his mouth. His head staggered against his fist.
ㅡA lowly thing…… !
It was only after he had been beaten once again that he realized that he had acted according to the knowledge in his head again, but even if he did, he would have no means of responding.
The next action continued. It was a pattern of lifting both feet high and then striking them down with all their might. If you avoid that, there will be a deal time.
I widened my distance, and one step too late, the earth-shaking Quaaang! A sound was heard.
I took advantage of the gap where my head came down and swung my fist. Even when all sorts of weapons and divine spells were pouring down, the scales were not even scratched, but my fist struck them so easily.
It was the influence of the dragon. The law of the world compensates for the minimum damage inflicted on him. Because it was like that in Brightest Darkness 4.
The reason why my hand was fine while hitting those hard scales was also the same. If there was a system in brute 4 that cuts your health when you hit something with your bare hands, I would have been harmed too.
But there was no such system.
‘Because the main character of Brunet 4 doesn’t get sick just because he does a bare-handed run.’
Of course, even if my hand gets hurt as well, it’s enough for me to recover.
ㅡI will kill you…… !
The World Eater, whose thoughts were colored with anger, tried to swing his arm, but hesitated again. He seemed to have noticed that even the action he was just about to follow matched the pattern in the game.
It was just a meaningless action anyway. Even the movements he consciously changed after realizing that fact matched exactly the pattern of the world eater in the game with Dya Mode applied.
Maybe by the time you finish the pattern you’ll realize what you’ve done.
The gaping mouth came closer. It is a pattern of biting and chewing the front. I dodged it by rolling it sideways and hit it near the head.
ㅡPuuuong!
A much more upbeat sound than the hundreds of blows he had hit so far was heard, and at the same time, the World Eater’s neck snapped and landed. Whoops, he fell to the ground.
He fell into a groggy state.
It would have been impossible to say that the head was hit with a fist, but it was the result of continuous attacks on the head, which was a weak point, just like it was in the ‘game’.
A critical attack with a wingless nightmare or immortality could do more damage here, but I wasn’t planning on doing that. Instead, as always, I swung my fist into the guy’s head.
ㅡKuaaa!!!!!!
A roar filled with pain echoed as his bare hands struck his head. The body, which was as big as a small mountain, fell backwards with one punch of my fist and tumbled unsightly on the floor.
The sight of the dragon rolling several times on the ground was also quite spectacular. I sneered at the staggering guy.

“How many more do you think you can hit? I think it will be over in 3 hits?”
There’s a kind of correction on him, so if you consistently deal damage to his head, the first phase ends with one critical attack after Groggy. In the first place, it was also a gimmick that was used when 15% of HP was left.
There was only one case where the phase didn’t end, and it was when he landed a critical attack with his bare hands.
The World Eater staggered back to its feet after hearing my sarcasm. I laughed at it once more.
“Why do you think I just hit you with my bare hands without a weapon? That’s what you said to stand up It’s a gimmick that’s also in Brunet 4, ‘made by a goddess’. I don’t know if I can understand. Did you understand?”
ㅡQuooooo!!!!!!!
He let out a roar.
Even if I pretended to be that strong, there was only Sylphy left, enough to finish it in three punches. No matter how many times it was, it meant that it could be finished by looking at pattern 3 times.
As if the World Eater was aware of that fact, contrary to how it roared vigorously, it was not easily approached. The fact that he was beaten and knocked down must be really disgraceful.
“What are you doing? Won’t you attack?”
He clenched his fists and spread his black but knuckles. Perhaps pride took precedence over hesitation, and as soon as he understood the meaning of the gesture, he rushed with all his might.
ㅡFuuu!
Of course, it didn’t mean much.
As I asserted, he stumbled as soon as his third punch landed on his head, then collapsed on his own. I watched it leisurely.
The size of the Eater of Worlds has begun to shrink. It meant moving on to the next phase, so I wasn’t surprised at all. Right now, I only have one interest.
‘I don’t know if it was just phase 1 or phase 3.’
When he took my form in the jet-black space, he said it was phase 2, so there was a possibility that it was phase 3 when he returned to the appearance of a dragon. Then the next step is phase 4.
Or, since the horse before that was the appearance of a Phase 1 dragon anyway, there was a possibility that the next phase would be Phase 2. Either way, it was a convincing situation.
‘Well, you’ll understand if you watch.’
For now, the size is decreasing, so if you watch it as it is, you’ll know. It is the latter if the size decreases very little, and the former if the human figure is also reduced.
‘The transfer was just 3 dollars. Be kind too.’
The worry was resolved shortly after. It’s because his size has shrunk for a while, and he’s shrunk to about the same height as me.
Then it changed to a very familiar appearance. With the appearance shown in Brightest Darkness 4, World Eater Phase 4.
“What, where did Phase 2 and Phase 3 go? Can I skip the order at will?”
He giggled and laughed at him. The ‘Eater of the World’ was a boss with very distinct appearance changes for each phase.
In the 1st phase, it is a well-known giant dragon, and in the 2nd phase, it is reduced in size and changed to a figure close to a half-human, half-dragon.
In phase 3, the size is reduced further, turning into a giant wielding an oversized sword, and in phase 4, it is reduced to almost the same size as the player.
Wearing armor called ‘Dragon Scale Armor’ and holding a one-handed sword called ‘Dragon Scale Sword’ was the 4th phase of the World Eater.
Like other humanoid bosses, it even has a battle fatigue gauge, so that’s all I’ve said. Thanks to that, it was also the only phase where parrying worked.
‘I’ll just have to fight with the nightmare that lost my wings soon.’
I want to finish that with my bare hands, and I actually have the ability to do that. However, knowing that others were fighting below him, he could not blindly relax.
And, didn’t you knock him down with just a punch? Your pride must have already been trampled on to overflowing.
“What changes just by reducing the size? You know that’s what I’ve seen thousands of times, right?”
“Shut up, human! I will definitely kill you in this form! That pride will destroy you!”
Looks like he was trying to regain his pride somehow by killing me in that form.
Patterns have all been destroyed, and beaten with bare fists for a long time, so if you want to take revenge on me completely, it would be best to kill yourself in the form you thought you knew best. It was a pretty great idea.
If you can succeed.
“Dream big too. Do you think that would be possible?”
I held a nightmare that lost its wings. The World Eater of Phase 4 is characterized by fast and sharp movements that are completely different from before. So it’s much better to unleash it with a bounce rather than a roll.
“How dare you know who I am and have delusions like that?”
It spurred the ground and ran. Even the World Eater rushed at me. Swords crossed in midair. The sword swung diagonally bounced off, and the sword swung horizontally bounced off.
There was no need to rush. It’s over there that the pattern starts first anyway. I only have to attack when the time is right, avoiding what to avoid and bouncing what is to be bounced accordingly.
His sword stabbed me. After receiving it and deflecting the second thrust that came next, the dragon scaled sword snapped. I took advantage of that gap and aimed at his neck.
It did not contain any requiem. Even if you don’t have to cut the essence, you’re getting enough damage.
The reason I tried to use requiem in the first place was that it was the surest means of attack, but there was no way to pierce its scales. Now, even if you don’t have it, you don’t have to use it because it takes damage.
A wingless nightmare slashed through the armor near its neck. Deep scars were left on his armor. With the next attack, the chin world eater raised the dragon scale sword high above his head.
It was a three-hit pattern.
‘If you’re going to bounce it, be sure.’
If you block or defend poorly, the attack will be allowed during the later delay. However, if all three hits were perfectly deflected, it was time for a deal.
‘Catch the deal after off-beat, anchor, roll.’
ㅡ Chaeeng!
I deflected the first 2 strokes with the same beat as I calculated, and deflected the 3rd stroke with the beat of catching the post delay of the roll.
Taking advantage of the break in his posture, the wingless Nightmare added one more wound to his armor.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Eater of Worlds got up, I grabbed the wingless Nightmare with one hand and twisted his body in a clockwise direction as I jumped. The blade drew a perfect circle. The armor was deeply pitted.
As he landed on the ground, he continued his next attack. He hit from the bottom left to the top right, then turned his body once and hit it from the top left to the bottom right. A shockwave burst out along the path the blade passed.
He was hit directly by the shock wave, but he ignored it and prepared for the next move. It was a pattern where super armor was applied. As soon as the last attack was over, the wingless nightmare was attached to the body.
The dragon scaled sword bounced off the wingless nightmare. After confirming that he was staggering, he continued stabbing. As soon as the tip of the sword touched his body, he spurred the ground and rose into the air.
With the head on the floor and the tips of the toes facing the sky, he turned his body once and attacked the surroundings. Another scar was engraved on the front of the helmet.
The moment the tip of the foot touched the ground, the final rotational slash entered. Slashing around him in a circular fashion, landed on the ground on one knee, and finished off the attack with another thrust.
ㅡ Pooh Woowook!
“Aagh!”
The wingless nightmare that pierced his armor reached his body. The World Eater screamed in agony. I couldn’t see his expression because he was wearing his helmet, but I could roughly guess what he was thinking.
‘It must be confusing.’
In the past, this side’s attacks didn’t even work except for requiem, but now you’re puzzled why the number of foot and foot wounds from being attacked increases.
The answer was obvious. Currently, I am a character with 99 all stats at the highest level in the game. Maybe it’s actually more than that. Because I went through 3 worlds.
However, those who eat the world only have the specifications for the first playthrough.
“Dealing with the boss on the 1st playthrough with a max-level character, is that more than just eating?”
“I won’t let you go!”
Where did the relaxed look of the past go, and the eater of the world, where only anger remained, attacked. Seeing that even the tone of voice had changed, he seemed very angry.
ㅡ Kwajijik!
Of course, anger didn’t help much. As always, all of his attacks missed or bounced, and all of my attacks hit. The scars engraved on the dragon scale armor continued to increase.
Time passed. It was around the time I started to notice that his armor was tattered and his movements slowed down.
The World Eater struck my sword with both hands. I tried to deflect it, but after making sure it wasn’t staggering, I tilted my sword slightly.
‘It’s done.’
The time to end this fight was approaching.
A power struggle continued with the swords tilted slightly. This was a gimmick shown when, like Grogi in Phase 1, the World Eater’s battle fatigue was full and his blood was running low.
He didn’t even know that he was doing the same thing as the World Eaters of Brynth 4, his eyes completely flipped in anger.
“I told you.”
After continuing the struggle, I momentarily raised his arm. His arm soared upward, revealing a defenseless abdomen wrapped in a single tattered piece of dragonscale armor.
I put my requiem in the nightmare that lost its wings.
“Do you think that would be possible?”
I spurred the ground and slashed the guy’s stomach. In the next second, I stood behind the World Eater’s back, feeling the wingless nightmare sever its true essence.
The one whose essence was cut did not move for a while. Then, he staggered forward a few steps before dropping his weapon with a clang.
Suddenly, his knees bent. The guy seemed to fall forward in his kneeling position, but his upper body stopped moving with only his upper body tilted half way.
The world has become quiet.
“… ….”
I approached him. I put in the wingless nightmare and drew immortality behind my back. The rusty, worn-out blade trembled like it did when facing an immortal centipede.
The immortals were openly immortal, but the world eater could not use the false essence. He was busy shaking his body while tilting his upper body.
I stood to his right and held the Immortal above his head. He set his sword down vertically and struck it. Immortal wept harder than ever. The sword body trembled like crazy.
“Time to die. You goddamn dragon.”
She swung her arm.
The Immortal decapitated the World Eater. The halved essence was shattered by immortality. The World Eater muttered something painfully.
“This…… I…… Just…….”
A solid red line was drawn around his neck. His severed neck began to slide down.
“Human…… To something like…….”
His severed head rolled on the floor, and his headless body leaned forward. Puck, the decapitated head hit the ground and made a rough sound.
That’s it. Eclipse will regain her power and status as a goddess. The world destroyed by him will be restored. Everything will start to cycle again.
The mission has been accomplished.
‘…… Uh?’
As soon as I realized that fact, the words of the undead who finished the mission flooded into my head. The soul, which had no reason not to break, was crushed by countless deaths and quickly collapsed.
A corner of her head felt a distant darkening.
A golden pillar rose up, and women who went to protect the world below poured out from within, led by Eclipse.
It was after everyone confirmed that the strange clones made by the World Eater had disappeared. If they disappeared, it was obvious what the cause was.
Since he realized the outcome of the battle long ago, a bright smile appeared on his face. Even Caicilia’s face had a softer smile than usual.
“Delta!”
It wasn’t long before I saw Delta’s back. Delta was staring blankly down at her, holding a rusty knife in her right hand.
The smile on her face grew brighter as she checked the decapitated body in front of her. It was the moment when imagination turned into reality.
“Delta! We are here!”
Rize’s speed, which was the first to run with a bright smile on her face, began to slow down as she checked Delta’s back.
The others who followed her also hardened their faces as if they felt a strange atmosphere. The speed of approaching Delta has significantly decreased.
Even though she was clearly within audible range of her voice, and even shouted with all her might from excitement, Delta just stared at the corpse in front of her in silence.
“Delta?”
Rize called Delta once again. It was a voice that was clearly more trembling than before. But Delta was silent this time as well. Anxiety spread like ink in water.
Anxiety and nervousness filled the place where joy and joy disappeared. The slow pace quickened again. Perhaps hearing footsteps, Delta slowly turned around.
“… ….”
The quickened footsteps completely stopped. Her outstretched hand was lost and trembled.
“Delta, you… ….”
Her face was as usual. There were no injuries or even torn clothes. However, the jet-black eyes had become incredibly empty. There was nothing in that pupil.
Delta slowly turned her head. As she recognized the sound of footsteps, her eyes seemed to come alive for a moment, but she let go of the rusty sword she was precariously holding in her right hand. Immortality fell powerlessly.
ㅡ Flutter.
That body, too, knelt on her floor, unable to walk a few steps.
The Popes screamed, and the rest hurriedly ran towards the Delta. No one here knew what the hell was going on. I was just filled with thoughts of worrying about Delta.

Rize, who arrived first, urgently supported her upper body, which was about to collapse. Body was cold She seemed to have been in and out of the refrigerator for a long time. Tears welled up in his blue eyes.
“Delta! Delta! What happened? Are you hurt? Are you hurt?”
Upon hearing that, Minerva prepared her magic. The Popes came to their senses and prepared divine spells, but Delta shook his head. Every movement was dripping with hardship.
“Not one…… I’m not hurt…… Even after you go…… I didn’t even hit one…….”
“Then why are you doing this? Huh? Say something!”
Rise was almost on the verge of crying. Delta looked at his trembling hands with his blank eyes, then opened his mouth sparsely.
“The mission…… Because I’m done…….”
“What?”
At the word “Mission,” Everyone looked at Eclipse without saying anything first. But Eclipse seemed to know nothing about it. A look of bewilderment was evident on his face.
“As long as I don’t give up…… If you don’t die…… After completing the mission…… A reason not to give up…… The missing immortal…… What will happen…….”
His left hand had turned white and was breaking.
