Part 2, Episode 214.
-mccccccccc
“-Diapers… … Where are the diapers? Ah, I told you to get some diapers ready, Mom!”
When will the 5 minutes go? When will the 5 minutes go? When will the 5 minutes go?
-3 minutes 44 seconds… … 3 minutes 43 seconds… … 3 minutes 42 seconds… … 3 minutes 41 seconds… … .
I’m going to die waiting, seriously.
-Holding my breath until it comes. Hmph!
People are dying here!!
I want to say, “Why is everyone making such a fuss?” but Arthur vs. Kaiser? How am I supposed to hold back this!!!
Wow, today was seriously so much fun. My dopamine just won’t stop flowing.
Seriously, this is what porn is. What’s so special about porn?
If this is porn, then it’s fucking something. I think I’ve changed my diaper at least five times just now. Looking at the remaining lineup, it looks like I’ll need fifteen more.
-LOL
Following the match between the Four Kings and the Annihilation, a true duel between Arthur and Kaiser?
With the excitement from the previous match still lingering, the announcement left the chat window in a state of panic, much like a smoker who has been smoke-free for a week.
Ah, please… really hurry. It’s urgent, really.
Ah, I’m seriously so excited I feel like I’m going to go crazy. I wasn’t even this nervous before my first date with my first love.
– LOL That’s hilarious.
At this rate, if Myeolsal and Kaiser fight, he’ll just foam at the mouth and collapse.
-Wow;;; I just imagined it and fainted once.
-2222222
Ah;; I just went and changed the diaper one more time;;;
-Excuse me… are you… crazy?
It just means you’re looking forward to it that much~ Honestly, I can’t stand it, you know.
Wow, but I heard Arthur got super strong after getting the Holy Sword. Just how strong is he? Kaiser was no joke, too, so I’m really curious how he’ll fight.
Arthur should now strictly be considered the Grand Master of the Order of the Holy Knights, and in terms of rank, he is on the same level as Lord Leved.
“In terms of rank, he is higher. After all, he is the owner of the Holy Sword. Since strength is a requirement for the Commander of the Holy Knights, isn’t he really at that level?”
-Hey, Leved is practically a semi-hard…
Even Leved can’t wield the Holy Sword.
– Whatever it is, he already proved it by wielding the Holy Sword. He proved it even more than Kaiser.
Brain function is beginning to be paralyzed by the continuous stream of overly intense dopamine.
However, negative people are bound to be mixed in wherever you go.
And among them, there were some particularly vicious ones.
-To put it bluntly, Kaiser… … what is he? Honestly, the Kasin Cult only became a top 10 guild because of those fanatics and that Haring bastard. It really feels like he got it by sheer luck.
-Sigh… Is that so?
“Is that so?” Bullshit. Didn’t you see Kaiser beat up Reihas? He instantly slayed a top 10 Guild Master and a top 100 Guild Master, so what the hell lol.
Even after all this, I’m still getting unfair criticism. How much more proof does Kaiser really have to provide? I mean, just how much does he have to show?
I can see my real life, I can see it… Ugh…
– In real life, I see you guys, you Kakis lol. Are the top 10 guilds of the past the same as the top 10 new guilds?
I really didn’t like you from the moment you tried to match Mythical. Beat Arthur first;;
Clearing the Labyrinth? Getting the highest contribution to Behemoth? That’s impressive. But is PVE the same as PVP?
-Seriously, honestly, since the tank and damage dealer scores equally thanks to parrying, it’s strange that they can’t get first place.
“Why don’t you use that cheat code, Parry Annihilation? Why don’t the other rankers do it? Do you think parrying is easy? Lol. Being able to parry that difficult thing like that is what true skill is.”
Ah, these God of Savior demons are swarming in again, fighting. Just watch. It’s all going to end today anyway, so why are you all running your mouths?
Yeah, so I’m planning to watch it. It looks like Kaiser is going to be exposed as a total hype lol
Wow, look at the guts of these demons. It seems they aren’t even afraid of the Kashin Cult.
-Leave him alone, he said he only lives for today.
It is not only to start a debate by creating division, but also to spoil the atmosphere by disparaging the opponent.
[This chat was deleted by the administrator.]
… …
Fortunately, all the potentially controversial chats were deleted quickly, but… … .
– Annihilation >> Arthur >= Kaiser. Yeah, that’s correct.
-2222 No matter how much I think about it, nothing better than that comes out. Arthur is currently treated as the strongest character, except for the Annihilation. The generally accepted theory is that the only one who can even come close is the Four Kings, but honestly, considering the matchups, Arthur might have won.
– It was Kaiser. Look, can you picture him defeating the Four Kings?
I can’t even picture him losing. Surely the Demon King isn’t stronger than Behemoth, lol. It was Kai who single-handedly held off Behemoth.
-LOL
I’m telling you, PVP and PVE are different!
Yeah, I took down Raihas in a flash too~ lol
-Yeah, a fledgling guild wearing the mask of a teenage guild. If it were the Demon King, it would have wiped out a truckload of attackers in an instant.
– The biggest victim right now —>>> Reihas lol
-?? : Why are you doing this to me?
Once a topic pops up, it is difficult for it to easily die down.
The controversy continued endlessly, one after another.
However, a few minutes passed, and the moment the system window popped up.
[2… … .]
[1… … .]
[The match begins.]
[The participating guilds are ‘Kasin-kyo’, ‘The King’, ‘Sipkang’, and ‘Lost’.]
[Good luck.]
Waaahhhhh!!!
– Everyone shut up, you f***ers!
-Here it is!
All the chicken is dead.
Let’s go!
Stop splitting people up and just watch the game. You’ll see who’s right.
A magnificent roar erupted as the camera panned to the players in the stadium, and the atmosphere in the chat window instantly settled.
In the face of the dopamine generated by the upcoming big match, all divisiveness has become meaningless.
Waaah! Waaah-!
“Arthur! Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!”
“Arthur, the King! Show me the power of a knight!”
“Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!”
“Kamen!!”
“Ah, I believe, O God.”
“A paladin who believes in God instead of God. Wow! The composition is a work of art.”
From various parts of the stands, screams bordering on shouts calling out the names of Arthur and Kaiser can be heard.
Faced with the fierce cheers, the participants whispered amongst themselves, looking intimidated.
“and…….”
“But we aren’t even being mentioned?”
“With Kaiser and Arthur fighting, do you think we’ll even be on their radar? Let’s not mess around for no reason and just stay out of it.”
“……okay.”
It was something I felt instinctively.
That there is no room for them to intervene.
I mean, if I do that for no reason, I might just end up getting bombarded with hate comments or ridiculed, and my career might end.
You never know. They might fight amongst themselves and destroy each other.
‘Even if we survive, we’ll probably be in bad shape. If we join forces then…’
‘Maybe we’ll end up going up this?’
If only considering that, it’s right to step down now.
And so, naturally, only The King and Kasin-kyo remained in the center of the stadium.
To be precise, it was just Dohyeon and Arthur.
After Myeolsal and Kaiser started acting alone.
It was because it had become an unspoken rule that when teenage guild masters faced off, they would advance without their officers present.
We’re ready, too… We can fight well…
-Lizariza… … .
It is all the Lord’s will, so shouldn’t we accept it?
Of course, there were some guys who were very disappointed about this fact, though.
Ignoring the tickling sensation on the back of my head, I looked ahead and met the gaze of a green-haired man who looked like a nobleman and greeted me.
It’s been a long time, Kaiser.
“okay.”
Arthur, whom I met for the first time in a long while, had changed a lot from before.
I’m not talking about the appearance.
Of course, armor, scabbards, accessories, etc.
The visible weapons had also become incomparably sacred and antique, but the aura they exuded was different.
“That is tremendous divine power, my Lord. It reminds me of the Knight Commander I saw in Brion in the past.”
‘Liza! Liza!’
“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this level of divine power, Master?”
Cool…
Even though they were watching from outside the stadium, it was enough to be felt by all the Guardians except for Pacheongui, who was sleeping.
The intense divine power filling the air touches the skin vividly.
“You’ve become much stronger. Incomparably stronger than before.”
“…….”
But I, too, have accomplished many things.
“Srrng,” Arthur says as he draws his sword, and it burns holy in pure white like an ember blooming in the Holy Grail.
Whoaah-!
Holy Sword, Asbaon.
The Excalibur of the Holy Knight world, which can only be wielded by a Holy Knight chosen by the Goddess.
It was a mythical sword said to grant the Paladin holding it several times the previous divine power.
“Kaiser, I’ve heard a lot about you. I see you’ve been very active.”
Is that so?
“I don’t know how you feel, but I’ve been looking forward to this moment. After all, you gave me a fresh shock during the labyrinth. The sense of unease I felt—that if given just a little time, you would stand above me—is still vivid.”
He chuckled as he reminisced about the past, then stopped breathing.
Finally, he opened his mouth again and continued slowly in a confident voice.
“This time, you’re going to feel it. I guarantee it.”
“A lot has happened. I hope it will be a good match…”
What was contained within was a deep competitive spirit, curiosity, and anticipation.
But that was only for a moment.
“I’m sorry, but I’m in a hurry right now.”
“I don’t know why everyone talks so much whenever they see me, but let’s hurry up.”
Arthur, whose words had been cut off, looked into Dohyeon’s eyes and clamped his mouth shut.
A competitive spirit was burning brightly in his eyes.
His own eyes are probably like that, too.
but.
“……You aren’t looking at me.”
They were looking in different directions.
Arthur’s gaze settled coldly upon realizing that the fellow paid no attention to him.
As the strangely excited emotions subsided, the divine power that had taken over the surroundings no longer warmly enveloped the skin but pressed down heavily.
“I understand. Let’s begin.”
“Yeah. That’s a good idea.”
However, let me warn you of one thing.
Before Dohyeon could even answer, Arthur’s cold voice was heard.
If you let your guard down like that, you’ll get sliced.
… … behind the back.
Whoosh!
The moment he spat out the words, Arthur caught up to him in the blink of an eye.
By the time I heard the sound, the holy sword had already been swung.
[Casting Unique Ability, ‘Serenia’s Holy Light’.]
[The Goddess’s holy light burns away evil.]
God of Sei’s unique ability to burn and destroy severed body parts.
The technique that had played a major role in the forgotten tomb and the forbidden labyrinth was cutting Dohyeon’s right arm.
“!”
– Master!
-Rizari!
Everyone thought it was a bit too late to stop it.
It’s too late. This is the price of carelessness, Kaiser.
Even Arthur, who swung the attack.
That is, until the sound that soon rang out was heard.
Clang! Whoosh!
[Parry successful.]
“……what?”
At Arthur’s shocked expression, Dohyeon twisted one corner of his mouth and took another step closer with their swords clashing.
Then, facing him right in front of her, she blurted out a remark.
“Why are you so surprised? Your ability… it only activates when you cut a body.”
“How could I have predicted this…….”
“A tactic targeting the arm when the opponent lets their guard down. If you use exactly what you’ve already shown, who would take the hit? You should have at least coordinated it.”
As he twisted the blade to the side, Arthur’s body tilted and staggered.
The fleeting moment of losing balance.
Although it is a short time of less than a second, in a fight between ranked fighters, it is a long time during which one can target vital points multiple times.
A crisis is an opportunity.
*Smack, whoosh-!!*
Arthur, instinctively sensing the danger, used the tilting force to thrust the holy sword into the ground.
[The Holy Sword, Asbaon’s third power, ‘Sanctuary Descent,’ is activated.]
[Explodes divine power down to the roots of the ground to sanctify the surrounding area.]
[It inflicts fatal damage on those directly struck by the explosion, and the owner of the Holy Sword gains greater divine power and physical abilities in the sanctuary.]
“That was a perfect response, Kaiser. If only I hadn’t obtained this sword……!”
Descent of the Sanctuary
Among Asbaon’s four powers, it was the most powerful in terms of sheer power.
Even just looking at the sanctification alone, the performance is tremendous, but…
The scary thing about this power is that the explosion damage is monstrously powerful when activated.
It was a range of approximately 5 meters in radius, so it was infinitely small compared to the stadium, but that didn’t matter at all.
At this distance, it cannot be avoided.
Because it is already too late. I don’t think there is any chance of stopping it or surviving.
A secret technique that even invincibility cannot defeat.
Looking at this technique alone, it was actually superior even when compared to Lord Leved’s single sword.
As long as it is a human body, it will disappear without a trace.
… … That is certainly the case.
Whoosh! Saaa-
“……?”
An unbelievable sight unfolded.
The guy who should have vanished without a trace was perfectly fine, and conversely, the pillar of light that had been spewing out with the force to swallow the surroundings completely turned to dust and vanished.
With one horizontal slash from that guy.
[The ‘Descent of the Sanctuary’ was not fully accomplished, so the ‘Sanctuaryization’ failed.]
“what……?”
“hey.”
Dohyeon chuckled at Arthur’s dazed face as he looked at the surreal sight and spoke.
“I think you got the wrong sword.”
At least to me.
Numerous message windows were floating above him as he uttered incomprehensible remarks.
[Recognizes the existence of a person with whom you have a bad relationship.]
[Serafiella, the Goddess of Avtartel and the Holy Goddess of All Creation, and the player ‘Kaiser’ are bound by a terrible, intertwined fate.]
[When the conditions are met, the ‘Field of Ill-fated Relationships’ unfolds.]
[The Book of Defiance is reading the narratives intertwined with the caster and the target to search for the appropriate power.]
[The severity of the ill-fated relationship has exceeded the standard.]
[The Transcended Bond of Rebellion is activated.]
[By strongly resisting fate, you are granted the power to defy a destiny where the probability of being killed by an opponent is highest.]
The messages that had been constantly chaotically cluttering my vision ever since the moment I faced him.
[‘Those born with the karmic connection of ‘Divine Killings” has been activated.]
[For the target ‘Arthur’ only, the power of all attacks increases by 200%, and you can cut through the divine energy emanating from the target.]
‘Transcendence… … I guess I have a worse fate with the gods than with the abyss.’
Seeing as the Field of Illusion is reacting even more strongly than during the Rag Behemoth era.
Even so, I didn’t expect to be given such insane abilities, but since things have turned out this way, I guess I should make good use of them.
Thinking that, Dohyeon raised one corner of his mouth.
“Now it’s my turn?”
“……ah.”
I have something to show you, too.
Before anyone realized it, Dohyeon unfolded the Iron Chain Heavenly Tribulation wrapped around his hand.
However, there were two chains, not one.
[Third Realm Chains – Realm of Sin and Punishment]
[Fourth Realm Chains – Unpardoned Prison]
It’s going to be a good workout.
Twin chains that become one only when two are combined.
Furthermore, it was the moment when Sa-sul, who had hurled the second most profanities at Do-hyeon during his test of the Heaven-Shattering Ghost, made his appearance.
