114.
Hung!
The ax in the red armor flashed along with the heavy sound of the wind.
An ax with an ornate pattern attached to the end of a long handle.
Its appearance is similar to the halberds and polearms seen in another world.
Considering oriental armor, it should be called Bangcheonhwageuk or Godfather.
But either way, it was a familiar weapon to me.
visor!
With a sharp plosive sound, my sword spilled the ax blade sideways as it plummeted downward.
I was going to dig into the red armor as it is, but.
“hmm?”
Right after that, the bastard’s ax broke to the side.
As if he had predicted that I would come closer, the ax’s trajectory broke in the air.
I hurriedly pulled my body back at the movement that seemed to ignore the inertia.
Then, without even the sound of the wind this time, his ax cut through the space where I was.
“… You use that like a dagger.”
I frowned and muttered.
Whether it’s a western halberd or an oriental godfather, the biggest advantage of a weapon of that type is its range.
Instead, the downside was that it was heavy and difficult to handle, but that common sense didn’t seem to work for that monster.
“Oohhh!”
The red armor cried wildly.
And he charged at me, brandishing the ax, and I did not avoid it.
A savage metallic sound fills my ears.
In the pouring onslaught.
While exchanging fierce attacks with the red armor, I opened my eyes wide to an unexpected fact.
“Is it the right way?”
The blow of the red armor was great according to the level.
The strength contained in it was not false, and the reaction speed was transcendent.
But what surprised me most was his martial arts.
To put it bluntly, the halberd is not a very popular weapon when it comes to sharpening martial arts.
So, I don’t know if it’s another world.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared to swordsmanship or spearmanship in modern times, there has been little research.
However, this red armored ax was different.
The attack that his ax created was like dealing with a knight from another world.
The foundation of that martial art is Halberd’s classic moves.
I thought it was the standard way, but when the opportunity came, a slash flew in with an ingenious trajectory.
In addition, his movement was free enough to hold the middle of the weapon and receive my sword attack with the handle on the other side.
Obviously, it means that he has a good understanding of swordsmanship as well as spearmanship.
I have never seen a martial art that has reached this point in real life.
But that’s why it’s a monster.
“What the hell are you doing… ”
I stepped away from him for a while and used the skill.
＜Technology Steal – Mind’s Eye＞
It was a perfect move to guess the identity of the enemy, as it could not only steal skills, but also check the opponent’s skill list.
however.
“How many of these… ?”
His list of skills was unusual.
Roughly speaking, the number reached dozens.
Also, the skills were not all the same.
As expected, he possessed skills related to all kinds of martial arts, as well as skills that Goi couldn’t have.
“God of War and Arms”.
To say that the monster possesses divinity.
In addition, there was even a skill called Calamity God.
This red armor has a bunch of skills that don’t fit at all with medium heating.
“… … ”
Is it because its features are so obvious?
After looking at his list of skills, I was able to easily guess his true identity.
A monster, but also a god of war.
On top of that, the red armor and the horns on his head.
With that much hint, it was not at all difficult to come up with an oddity suitable for it.
“Is it Chiu?”
Qiu is a monster and a god passed down in ancient China.
A monster with a metal bull’s head and clad in red armor.
Also, the history of the tradition is quite long.
There was a time when he was worshiped as a military god and a national god to the extent that Chiwoo faith existed.
On the contrary, it was a monster that appeared as a villain who fell down over the years and was simply expelled by a hero.
That’s why Chiu is a monster but also has the aspect of a god.
Although now, it seemed that he had greatly lost his divinity because he had received the seal of the beast and was subordinated to it.
Even so, his inaction was not going anywhere.
“Cow!”
Then Chiu attacked again.
Still menacing slashes aiming for gaps and flying in.
The mysterious series of attacks created by the god of war delighted my eyes.
As I cut it off and shed it, it reminds me of the old days.
“The god of war… ”
In fact, if Chiwoo is the opponent, there are many useful skills.
From the tradition of Garura, which digs into the point of being a disaster god.
Even monster hunters who can attack parts related to cows.
But I decided not to use those skills at all.
For some reason, I just wanted to defeat this guy with a sword.
visor!
Sparks flew in the air, and that was the beginning.
My sword, which was simply focused on defense, changed its direction.
A fleeting gap between Chiu’s double attacks.
Aiming for it, the blade shot like a snake toward the beast’s wrist.
“Big!?”
Chiu was taken aback by the sound of the red armor grinding away.
But the fight had just begun.
Chaechaechaeng!
Swords and axes collided incessantly.
In the meantime, it was none other than me who poured the offensive.
Flowing the blade of the ax that was trying to block my approach, I cut off his elbow.
“Big… !”
Chiu, who was in a hurry to defend himself, let out a nervous cry.
It wouldn’t make sense to him either.
I haven’t even fully dug into him yet.
Chiu was all about kicking me out by backing away endlessly.
It is clear that his weapon is in an advantageous area, but he is rather focused on defense.
“Koooooo!”
Did you intuit your own disadvantage?
When the armor on my right arm, which I persistently aimed at, was broken, he finally threw a win.
Holding the handle of the godfather with one hand, Chiu rather narrowed the distance himself.
And in the other hand that still had the armor, another sword was lifted before I knew it.
But it wasn’t surprising.
There is a tradition that Chiu originally had 4 hands, and it was said that he was holding 6 weapons, including those 4 hands and 2 feet.
Chiu’s two slashes, which quickly turned into close combat, were directed at me.
I use both hands, but I don’t see any clumsy moves anywhere.
Enough of this… If only I had an aura, I would have heard the Sword Master from another world.
I muttered that to myself and scattered my sword.
A flash of light that shone with an instant flash cut both of his weapons at once.
“nice-?”
Chiu’s eyes inside the helmet were stained with shock.
Well, to an ordinary person, it might just look like a fancy swordsmanship.
There was no way Chi-woo, who had the status of a god of war, would not know the true value of this one island.
hook!
The two weapons, whose trajectories were completely distorted, cut through the air.
A fatal gap needless to say.
My sword rushed towards Chiu’s empty neck.
and.
Chew!
I heard the familiar sound of something being decapitated.
The giant in red armor collapsed on the spot.
“hmm… ”
My skills haven’t died yet.
With that thought in mind, I shook the sword once and put it back in the scabbard.
That was the moment.
＜Your level has risen!＞
level up
It seemed that the repeated quest had been completed.
Well, if it’s a monster like Chi-woo, it’s not unusual for it to be engraved on a human sword.
but…
“… I don’t think they’ll give you anything good.”
I muttered that before I even opened the Ingeom’s explanation window.
Of course, Chiwoo’s personality is never inferior to Naga or Lycanthrope.
However, the problem was that Chiu’s characteristics did not match well with me.
And again.
＜Extreme Martial Arts skill is nullified. You have a higher ability.＞
＜The God of Weapon skill is nullified. You have a higher ability.＞
＜Six weapon master skills are nullified. You have a higher ability.＞
An ominous message popped up in the log window.
There were as many as three skills that helped with close combat and martial arts.
And all three of them are nullified and gone.
As a result, there was only one skill added to Ingeom again this time.
– Fog-covered battlefield: Consumes spiritual power to create fog in the surrounding area.
– All stats +33
“… Fog?”
And Bonnie Chiu also had a tradition of controlling the fog.
That’s why it’s an ambiguous skill to just look at.
Considering the connection with other skills I had, it wasn’t necessarily like that.
It was because he was saying that if he used the Snake God’s molars, which add poison to the mist, he could spray poisonous mist over a wide area.
“hmm… ”
It’s unfortunate, but I should consider it fortunate that I managed to get at least one wide-area skill.
I cleared the item window like that and turned my gaze toward the sea.
It was to check the condition of the ghost who had fled to the sea, leaving me and Chiu on land, and Michael, who had chased it.
Before I knew it, the two of them were out to sea quite far away.
Is it because it is a battle between two beings close to level 90?
The battle between them was indeed different in scale.
“… It reminds me of the old days again.”
All over the sea was full of flames.
It was all created by Leviathan and Michael.
First, Leviathan, who revealed his upper body, was huge enough to be clearly visible from here.
Its overall size, even at a cursory glance, is close to the kilometer unit.
Also, the body that rose above the water with a mouth like a crocodile looked like a combination of a dragon and a whale.
The fin in the middle was bent like a scythe and had a shiny blade like a praying mantis.
And he opened his big mouth and was breathing fire in all directions.
is that leviathan
I looked at his appearance and leisurely searched for information on Leviathan.
“… … ”
Although Leviathan did not possess divine power, his rank was never low as a monster that feared even the gods and the ruler of the sea.
In addition, there is a legend that he fought a fierce battle with an archangel, and it was a monster close to an evil god.
Also, its origin is a crocodile or a whale, and in the Bible, it is said to be the same as the dragon that symbolizes the devil and Satan.
“… It’s ambiguous.”
I muttered while looking at the Leviathan’s information.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t see a corner where I could hit.
Except for the fact that he was a guy who used flames, there was no tradition that could be a weakness.
It is said that there is no answer other than a frontal attack, but if that happens, there are too many variables.
Then you should watch first.
With that thought in mind, I checked Michael against it.
While he rained down fire from the sky with Elijah’s altar, he rode around Leviathan in a burning chariot.
And three large whirlpools he seemed to control took in the flames and set them ablaze.
It drove from all sides of the Leviathan and pushed the huge body.
Surprisingly, Michael wasn’t pushed at all against the monster.
“for now… ”
Seeing that, I headed towards the sea.
In fact, I could have just left it.
After all, Leviathan and the goblin belonged to Michael anyway.
But to me, that Leviathan was a precious material.
If only I could hit the last hit… My sword will be able to absorb that ability.
So I walked slowly to the surface and moved to the battlefield where they were fighting.
* * *
“Ha, look at that?”
Above the head of Leviathan, who spews fire in all directions.
The monster on top of it let out a laugh as if it were absurd.
His eyes reflected the chariots of fire flying overhead.
The monster had already guessed its true identity.
The identity of that chariot of fire is the chariot of God that appeared when Elijah ascended to heaven.
The chariot of fire, which is said to have separated Elijah and his disciple Elisha, who was about to ascend to heaven, symbolizes the power and will of God.
This was holding him back more than Goeju expected.
Love liquid!
A giant scythe-like fin cut through the air between the flames that Leviathan fired.
It was aimed at Michael’s chariot of fire, but the flame-clad chariot deviated from its trajectory as if mocking Leviathan’s movements.
“Something like a fly… !”
At this, the goose furrowed his brow.
A gigantic body reaching 2km, enormous attack power commensurate with that size, and even a high rank that cannot be called a monster.
Clearly, Leviathan was an invincible monster.
But his Leviathan was at a tedious stalemate against Michael.
Michael’s chariot of fire was not enough to withstand Leviathan’s flames, so it rained fire while flying in the sky, slowly eating away at Leviathan’s physical strength.
The whirlpool he created was a bonus.
The whirlwind that tried to press the Leviathan with flames wasn’t threatening, but it was steadily getting on my nerves.
At this rate, even if you can’t lose, you can’t win.
“… … ”
However, even after intuition, the Goeju was annoyed, but showed no impatience.
Because he still had a way.
Clearly, Leviathan is a mighty monster.
In terms of the Bible, it took up a whole chapter in the Old Testament and was drawn.
However, there was another reason why the monster chose Leviathan as the last monster to protect him.
It was because Leviathan was the source of the seven-headed dragon, the beast of destruction recorded in the Apocalypse.
Since the monster ruled Leviathan, it can awaken the side of the beast of destruction buried in the legend.
Although even the heresy of the church that taught the method, the tribe of Isaac, could not complete the tradition, so complete reproduction would be impossible.
The power of the beast, which was said to bring about the end times, was truly unconventional even if only a small portion of it was used.
So, in silence, the Goju quietly laid his hand on Leviathan.
I thought to use it right away without wasting any more time.
however.
“That guy… ?”
Something strange flashed in Goeju’s eyes.
On the flame-clad sea where the rough waves crash.
Someone was walking there.
