Part 2, Episode 213.
The primordial magic sword.
First Law, Primordium.
A sword that did not belong to the Ten Great Swords because its very existence was unknown, and a divine artifact whose rank cannot even be measured.
It was the moment it was first officially unveiled, but
“what?”
“What’s going on? The undead aren’t even standing a chance.”
“It doesn’t really feel like… being cut off, does it? Should I just say it feels like being erased?”
It was the destruction that destroyed.
“……You weren’t just joking, were you?”
“Wow, Annihilation is mind-blowing…….”
The spectators were still unaware of its very existence.
I felt something was off, but it was because there were no immediately visible effects or weapons.
Just one person.
“H… Hehe… So that’s how it was?”
Except for the Four Kings who are directly dealing with it.
He felt it more acutely than anyone else.
The power of that strange force. And the secret of that power, too.
“You say you… ignore the rules of the world? What kind of magic did you cast?”
“You’re quite observant. It’s rare to see someone notice this at just this point.”
He is clearly praising, but his tone is extremely calm.
His expression was also a poker face with not the slightest change.
Everything about him was the same. Just as it was when he first stepped onto the field.
Whoosh-whoosh-
Swish- Thud!
Only the sword moves frantically, slaughtering soldiers as if dancing around Annihilation.
[The special option ‘Glacial Fang’ of the Ice and Snow Magic Sword ‘Frosty Latasha’ is activated.]
Crack-
Whenever Frosty Latasha is swung, more than twenty skeleton soldiers freeze.
[The special option ‘Flame’ of the Inferno Magic Sword ‘Flame Sword’ is activated.]
A massive flame reminiscent of hellfire completely swallowed the frozen soldiers.
[The special option ‘Blue Wind Slash’ of the Wind Magic Sword Punghwageom is activated.]
The Wind-Flaming Sword, shooting blades of wind in all directions, slaughters countless soldiers.
The weight of the soldiers? The hardness of the bones?
Such things were completely meaningless. The undead were undeniably dead beings.
[First Law and Primordium twist the conventional wisdom regarding the Skeleton Soldier’s ‘Bone’.]
[The bone density of skeleton soldiers is not proportional to their weight or stats.]
Because I could easily eliminate the advantages of non-living things without worrying about causality.
Now they are no longer the Legion of Death.
They are not great soldiers who mercilessly hunted down even raid bosses, but merely grunt skeleton soldiers scattered across the field.
Swish- slash-!
Crackle, rattle-
And there is no such thing as a mere fodder that can withstand the power of a magic sword.
According to them, there were only three.
Something that crumbles like tofu, breaks like styrofoam, or snaps futilely in two like plastic the moment it touches.
[Lahardi cannot withstand the strength of the bowstring.]
[Commander of the 3rd Corps, Lahardi, has died.]
*Thud!*
Even the 3rd Corps Commander, who pulled a bowstring measuring 6 meters and shot out an arrow as big as a telephone pole.
Crack,
[Zrihar was unable to bear the weight of the spear, and his body was damaged.]
[Commander of the 2nd Corps, ‘Zrihar’, has passed away.]
Even the 2nd Corps Commander, who was swinging a spear while spinning with a body over 5 meters tall.
“Ah, what is happening! The Legion Commanders… … are destroying themselves! What on earth is going on? What is this?”
It appears that Myeolsal has done something, but… I have absolutely no idea what it is.]
– Magic, magic happened!
It crumbled away so futilely that it rendered the strength and majesty it had boasted of meaningless.
“N-this can’t be. Get up. Get up again and stop that guy!”
[Activates the Transcendence Trait ‘Ruler of Death’.]
[The rank of the Commander-in-Chief is overwhelming. The soldiers under his command overcome death and rise up to the present world.]
[I succeeded in overcoming death.]
[It is reconstructed into the form of a skeleton soldier capable of exerting greater power.]
Crack, slash-!
Even if resurrected again and again, it is merely a meaningless repetition.
An immortal legion is only meaningful if it can at least ensnare its opponent.
But look. What has become of the legion he boasted of.
“ah…….”
Even with hundreds of them, they cannot handle just six swords.
Standing before a beast, I was nothing more than a mere fly.
Thump, thump.
You have to think.
A way to stop that man walking towards me indifferently.
A way to stop the author who approaches plainly at the same speed, even though one could rush in.
For him, who always sat atop the high shoulders of the Legion Commander and looked down upon those who struggled only to be trampled upon, it was the first crisis he had ever faced in his life.
“… … There’s no way to stop it. There’s absolutely no way to stop it.”
… … No matter how hard I rack my brain, nothing comes to mind.
There is no way to bind that magic sword soaring through the air and stop that man.
Not only can we win, but there isn’t even a way to stop him… … against this Demon King?
Even though he was clearly in a much higher position, above the Commander-in-Chief.
The destruction, which should have looked much smaller, felt more massive than anything else.
A sense of helplessness, which I had never felt before in my life, weighed down my entire body, and
[The Heavenly Magic Sword, ‘Omne’, has destroyed the Grand Commander.]
Boom!
stomp, thud.
When I came to my senses, I was lying pathetically on the ground, looking up at Myeolsal.
Is there anything else you can show?
“…….”
It looks like there isn’t any.
… … And that was the end.
Whoosh,
As he waved his finger at the dazed look on the King of Death’s face as if he didn’t even have a chance to hear an answer,
Phew!
Because a sword plunged down from the air and pierced the Death King’s back.
Pfft, pfft! Pfft!
Starting with that, magic swords slam down.
A series of gruesome sounds rang out, and soon after, the Death King’s trembling stopped as a message appeared.
[Participant ‘Sawang’ is eliminated after being defeated by ‘Myeolsal’.]
[The Revenant Guild has been eliminated.]
[All participants except the ‘Execution’ guild have withdrawn and been eliminated.]
[The match is over.]
[The victorious guild is ‘Execution’.]
[Congratulations!]
“……”
Even though the game had ended, there was no reaction.
Only a deathly cold silence prevailed.
But that was only for a moment.
Waaahhhhh!!!
…, the player Myeolsal secured the victory.
-Overwhelming performance!! All top 10 guilds, set up! It was a match that felt like shouting, “I am the Executioner’s Annihilation!”
With his first victory in the Round of 16, Myeolsal became the first player to advance to the semifinals!
-The semifinals… … So, we should practically consider this a spot in the finals, right? After all, the remaining matches will be played with four people on each side!!
With violent cheers like a dam breaking, the enraged commentator’s remarks burst out.
Ah, we’re both teenage guilds, but is there really such a difference?
“-I know it’s a bit awkward to say this, but… … you’re seriously insane, Destroyer!!”
Can you hear it? The cheers from the crowd. There were many epic matches today, but none were this overwhelming. And wasn’t he, of all people, the true one-man army, the King of the Four Kings?
Given that many considered the Four Kings to be the strongest… … it is truly shocking… … .
I can’t hear the commentator’s remarks clearly.
“Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!”
“I’m going crazy! Annihilation!!”
“Aaaaaaaah!!!”
“Kaiser? The Four Kings? Screw them all! The strongest in God of Savior has always been Mythical One!!”
“Gather under the Extermination Slayer!!”
“What? The Immortal Legion? Yeah, all one-shot kills! Bug kills! All you bastards, cut cut cut!!”
Because the microphone got swallowed up by the incredibly loud cheers of the crowd.
Nevertheless, the commentator continued speaking,
There is an old saying that while there are many geniuses, there is only one peak. I think he is the player closest to the peak right now.
-Huh? Isn’t that remark a bit risky? There are players who haven’t even competed yet.
-Haha, of course, they are all amazing, too. I just mean that it was a match that intense! Good heavens, are you looking for an assassination angle right now?
It reached Dohyeon’s ears with unparalleled clarity as he watched every detail on the waiting room screen.
The retreating figure of Myeolsal as he leisurely slips away as if it were no big deal, and the enthusiastic crowd.
The sight of commentators praising him almost as if in worship.
and…….
Swoosh.
The final moment heading into the hallway.
Even the sight of Myeolsal glancing at the camera and silently mouthing the shape of his lips.
It was only a fleeting moment, but Dohyeon saw it clearly.
I will wait.
The mouth shape that says that.
Dohyeon’s expression changed as he saw it.
With a smirk, not the stiff, expressionless look, but with one corner of the mouth slightly turned up.
“……That’s fun.”
However, the eyes were not smiling.
It simply contains something intense other than laughter.
And as if in response, a notification window popped up soon after.
[The next match will begin shortly.]
[The participating guilds are ‘Kasin-kyo’, ‘The King’, ‘Sipkang’, and ‘Lost’.]
[All designated participants, please come up on stage.]
-Ah, another big match here!!
Just as the Execution Guild begins to show off their prowess, the Kashin Cult makes its appearance! Wow, is this fate?
The opponents are all formidable guilds… but one guild stands out among them.
– You’re the player who has become a hot topic for currently having a real Order of Holy Knights under your command, right?
The owner of the original Top 10 Guild ‘The King’ and the master of the Holy Sword! It is the moment Arthur and Kaiser confront each other!!
Waaahhhhh-!!!
Hearing the cheers of the crowd coming from beyond the screen and from outside the stadium, Dohyeon slowly rose to his feet.
Then, shall we go?
We’re ready anytime!
-Lizariza!
-hmm!
This time, it was his turn to show what he could do.
