Part 2, Episode 215.
The Trial of the Heavenly Demon
While proving his qualifications to obtain the Iron Chain Heavenly Tribulation, there were a few moments when Pacheon-gwi was particularly shocked.
Three times.
-Huh, to think I escaped this. I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
The first of those was when I endured the third and fourth chains.
– The Hell of Eternal Binding with No Amnesty… … It is an eternal hell of bondage with no pardon.
Literally, a hell that persistently ensnares and restrains the opponent.
They say that the characteristics of the actual hell in the underworld were captured exactly as they are, divided into two chains.
True to its wicked origin, its ability was also terrifying.
Swish- tight.
[Casting Third Realm Chains – Realm of Sin and Punishment.]
[Implements a world of punishment where criminals are bound, limited to targets bound for 10 seconds.]
[The bound target cannot use movement abilities, and takes 20% more damage from the caster while bound.]
[Also, unless there is a difference in rank, you cannot break the chain by your own power.]
[Casting 4th Chain – Unpardoned Prison.]
[If a target bound by the Sin-Binding Form attempts to break the chains, a strong repulsive force is applied, and the effect of the 3rd-level chains is amplified.]
[Inflicts 1 status ailment for each Repulsion stack.]
“What the…! How can there be binding technology of this caliber without any risk… Ugh!”
“Stay still. The more you struggle, the tighter I will shackle you.”
“Ugh, ugh…….”
Arthur’s face is pale.
The positive aspirations that were visible at first are no longer visible, not even a trace.
All that is visible is a sense of helplessness bordering on despair and deprivation.
I know exactly how that feels.
The feeling of being trapped in a swamp from which one can never escape is truly unbearably unpleasant, and the more one struggles, the more one sinks.
Once a person is detained, all they can do is wait for death.
Like a fly trapped in a Venus flytrap.
In a one-on-one fight without a teammate to help, it is practically an unwinnable handicap.
That is why, when taking the exam, I had to roll like crazy to avoid being tied up even once.
Because it was a crazy test where even if you did well a hundred times, one mistake was the end of it.
Even thinking about how I woke up, it was truly a gem… no, it was like hell.
It’s nice that we seem to get along well.
I am satisfied that I am now dealing with that hell myself, though.
Well then, shall we finish this?
Dohyeon grinned and took a step forward while holding the chain.
The chain held in his hand suddenly emitted light and vanished.
Instead, what appeared was a single sword.
[Cheonbyeon transforms into ‘+15 True White Lion’s Snow Flower Sword’.]
This was the fraudulent nature of the Iron Chain Thousand Kalpas.
Originally, it should have disappeared if the weapon were changed.
In the case of some chains, they are treated as separate abilities once activated, so they do not disappear even if the Iron Chain Heavenly Tribulation is unequipped.
Thump.
Dohyeon did not stop here.
[Activating the Cross of the Executioner.]
[Targeting Player ‘Arthur’.]
[It was confirmed that both feet were in contact with the ground for more than 2 seconds.]
[Conditions have been met.]
[The Guardian’s Blessing has been activated.]
[Targeted Player ‘Arthur’.]
[Used Thunder Dragon Descent.]
Ahhh- crackle!
Since I’m doing it anyway, I might as well do it right.
A cross rising with the ringing of heavenly harmony and a shield-shaped symbol floating above the heads of two people.
And even the blue thunder dragon plunging down on the two of them.
“Ugh…!”
Arthur let out a groan as he was helplessly electrocuted by the sparks that engulfed the surrounding area because he was bound by chains.
The appearance of being trapped helplessly like a rat.
It might seem like a somewhat excessive performance, but ultimately, Dohyun’s choice was right.
[It is confirmed that the target is the owner of the ‘Holy Sword, Asbaon’.]
[It is confirmed that the subject is the owner of the title ‘The Apostle Closest to the Goddess’.]
[Player ‘Arthur’s’ rank surpasses the caster’s.]
[The 3rd Chain is weakened by being crushed by the attack. Cast time is drastically reduced, and the damage amplification effect is removed.]
[The 4th chain weakens, unable to withstand the attack.]
I didn’t expect to see this phrase from a user.
After all, he is the owner of the Holy Sword whom even Lord Leved was not chosen, so he should be at least that good.
It doesn’t really matter now, though.
[Casting Heavenly King Tremor Qi.]
[Knight King manifests the spirit of the Heavenly King True Qi utilizing the Qi manipulation method of ‘Ruslein Valemont’.]
[Uses ‘Wrap Darkness’ on Thousand Transformations.]
[Title, ‘Darkness Destroyer’ activates.]
[The effect of Darkness Wrap is increased.]
[Mana consumption is reduced, the defense-ignoring effect is amplified, and there is a chance to inflict the ‘Darkness’ status on the opponent.]
Feeling ready, Dohyeon moved his feet.
With every step forward, a mountain-like energy rising from my feet circulates throughout my entire body.
The moment the energy, which had been circulating several times as if unable to find an exit, finally gathered at the tip of the sword as if bursting out.
[Uses the second move of the Reverse Heaven Period, Pa]
Then, I’m going.
“ah…….”
Dohyeon slashed his sword without hesitation, pouring out his energy.
Clang!
With a sound like shattering glass, the world turned white.
Unlike the divine power that takes on a platinum hue due to sacred energy, a pure white world arrived as powerful shockwaves enveloped the surroundings.
‘ah…….’
In that, Arthur looked at his body.
It was an act made possible thanks to the immense divine power protecting the eyes.
Clatter.
A body hanging on a giant golden cross.
His limbs are bound by two dark red chains, and not the slightest movement is permitted.
Arthur let out a hollow sigh as he watched the force of the Heavenly King’s True Energy pressing down on his entire body and the shockwave of the Break.
‘… … Is it really this bad?’
From combat sense to strategy, tactical maneuvering, and skill utilization.
In everything else that could be called combat power, they were not even a match, let alone able to compete.
When I first saw it in the Forgotten Tomb, I was surprised but thought I could win, and in the Labyrinth, I was amazed but felt a sense of crisis that I might be caught up to.
I was astonished by the way Heuksi performed during the Garion era.
The thought that he would never be able to do that dominated his mind.
Now that the New World is updated and, unlike Kaiser who fell behind by several months, you have become the master of the Holy Sword.
I thought we could win…
Arthur genuinely thought he had the upper hand.
Because deep down, I thought I was capable of going head-to-head with even Annihilation.
And now.
I clearly realized just how arrogant that thought was.
‘… … I was nothing.’
How monstrous a being Myeolsal is.
The fact that Kaiser, whom he had secretly looked down on while comparing himself to him, had already overtaken someone like him a long time ago.
… … No, is it true that I’ve been caught up?
I might have been under the delusion that I could cross a wall that was insurmountable from the very beginning.
—–!!
Feeling the shockwave reaching right in front of my eyes engulf my entire body,
Arthur closed his eyes tightly.
‘… … Yeah, maybe.’
At that moment, the emotion that settled in a corner of my heart was closer to surprise and anticipation than to emptiness or humiliation.
Surprise at the shattering of the conviction that no one could overcome Annihilation.
‘Kaiser, if it’s you… …you really might be able to win.’
And it was anticipation regarding the thought that seemed so.
The answer to that will soon be visible.
Kwagagaga-!!!
[Player ‘Arthur’ has been eliminated.]
[All participants of The King Guild have been eliminated, so ‘The King’ Guild is eliminated.]
The dazzling light ceased.
The stadium, shattered by the shockwave, was revealed.
Waaahhhhh!!!!
Oh my god! Kaiser, Kaiser has dominated and eliminated Arthur!!
It was close, but if I had to pick the favorite, Arthur was slightly higher… I didn’t expect him to show such an overwhelming performance.
It was a performance that seemed to say, “How dare you ignore me!? Damn it, I’m Kaiser, the former #1 from Demlok!” right?
The roar of the excited crowd.
Likewise, the voices of the commentators, clearly showing signs of excitement, fill the stadium.
Waaahhhhh-!!!
Standing proudly on top of it with his sword resting on his shoulder, he turned around abruptly and spoke.
“next.”
“…….”
This moment.
It is likely not just their imagination that Dohyeon’s black mask and martial arts uniform look particularly more like a Grim Reaper to the participants.
* * *
[The match has ended.]
[All players except Player ‘Kaiser’ have been eliminated.]
[The victorious guild is ‘Kashin-kyo’.]
[Congratulations.]
Waaahhhhh!! Waaah!!
“Aaaah!! Player Kaiser claims the final victory and advances to the finals!!!”
“With this, it is confirmed that Myeolsal and Kaiser will face off!!”
“Wow, Kaiser. Was he this good!? He knocked out Raihas in the first round… *Cough*, I expected this ever since he won, but he really is a fighter whose limits are unknown.”
“Actually, it’s already well-known that Kaiser is a latecomer. A year and a half in God of Savior is a huge amount of time, so how did he grow so much already… Growth is one thing, but his combat sense is on a ridiculous level…”
A performance that crushed Arthur, who was the regular, and an overwhelming show of dominating against multiple opponents.
The commentators’ voices grew louder due to the shocking performance in many ways.
“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”
“Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!”
I believed, God!!
“Kamen!”
“Wow, Kaiser is insane!!!”
The same goes for the stands.
And this ripple effect certainly did not stop at the scene.
– *shivers*
-crazy;;;
Wow;; Was Kaiser this strong?
Seriously, they were no match for me.
-sssssss
-Disgusting hate trolls, cut cut cut cut cut~!!
-?? : Do I look like a piece of shit to the owner of the Holy Sword? Yeah, I look like a piece of shit to you~
-Fuck lol What did I just see?
Kaiser is in insane form today;;
Is the Holy Sword a scam? Then just make it unusable.
-Yeah, it’s you, Hyung. Tie me up and beat me.
-Tie… … Huh? Oh ho.
Oho, you bastard, I just want to beat the crap out of you.
It’s so damn disgusting how those bugs that were relentlessly biting away vanished like ghosts as soon as Kaiser won lol
Did you say Kaqui? Alright, now who’s the bug?
-Kamen… … .
As there was so much divisiveness and malicious chatting, dopamine was bursting out of the chat window like fireworks.
It was just that we were overwhelmed by the firepower of the villains.
As Kaiser’s fanbase was at a level that could by no means be ignored, the reactions were as if justice had been served.
Wow, but seriously, I didn’t know Kaiser would be this strong.
I’m a Kaiser fan, but even I didn’t know.
Did the Kasin cult followers know?
-… … Carmen.
I simply follow the light of God.
Huh? These bastards are changing the subject.
– LOL They didn’t even know that.
However, even they didn’t seem to expect to see something like this.
Is that why?
At this level, isn’t it actually fair to take on Mythical Slayer?
I don’t know. What Myeolsal showed was just on another level… but then again, what Kaiser showed was also seriously unbelievable, so…
I can’t picture either of them losing;; What am I supposed to do?
Ah, I’m a fan of both of them, but who should I root for?
Isn’t the strongest player in God of Savior being decided starting today? Wow, even I’m getting nervous.
Ah, so when are we having the match?! Hurry up and finish the remaining games.
Yamamoto is sobbing because he lost all the attention lol
-? What? Did he make it up here too?
– Yeah, it’s the next match. Uh, it starts now.
– I’m not interested. Just call me when the finals start. I need to heat up some instant rice.
– Hahahaha, still, he’s a teenage guild master, so that’s too much.
Now that the final match against Myeolsal is confirmed with Kaiser’s rise this time.
The chat window was filled only with talk about the outcome of the two.
“Myeolsal will win.”
“No, no. Kaiser wins.”
“That’s bullshit. Myeolsal is the fundamental Top 10 Guild Master.”
If you’re going to talk about origins, you should start with Demrok. Kaiser was number one there from the beginning.
“As far as I know, the two of them have never faced each other. Honestly, even though Kaiser showed a lot in this match, Myeolsal is still the top dog.”
“Still, I don’t think Kaiser will lose.”
“Ah, I really hope the finals come out soon. Do we really have to watch the match with Yamamoto or whatever his name is?”
It’s one of two winners anyway, so what a total waste of time.
“admit.”
The reaction at the scene was similar, and perhaps it was because of that atmosphere.
Or perhaps it was because they thought they would lose anyway even if they made it to the finals.
What are you going to do up there… … .
“Fight those monsters? I’d rather just forfeit.”
“It’s all going to be edited out anyway, so let’s stop messing around and just leave it at that.”
It’s obvious I’m going to be ridiculed for being tactless and wasting time.
For various reasons, many participants lost motivation and withdrew, or as soon as it started, they broke out in a mindless brawl worthy of a headbutting dinosaur.
[Participant ‘Liv’ is eliminated after being defeated by ‘Yamamoto’.]
… …
All participants except ‘Yamamoto’ have been eliminated.
[The match is over.]
[The victorious guild is the Mikazuki Guild.]
All participants except ‘Lepet’ and ‘Garishu’ have been eliminated.
[The winning guild is ‘Seraphim’.]
As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred where the remaining two matches ended in just five minutes.
[The final match will begin shortly.]
[The participating guilds are ‘Kashinkyo’, ‘Execution’, ‘Mikazuki’, and ‘Seraphim’.]
[All designated participants, please come up on stage.]
Finally, the curtain rose on the final match.
