Part 2, Episode 218.
Kwaaaah-!!
“ah…….”
“Damn it…….”
“crazy.”
How should I describe this?
A white lion and a blizzard ferociously covering half of the stadium.
The sight, which felt like facing the wrath of nature, gave the illusion of standing on a snowfield.
If people of old had seen that, they would have said that God was angry, and if people of modern times had seen it, they would have said it was a natural disaster.
Whatever it was, one thing was clear.
Gulp.
That thing is… … something that humans dare not handle.
That is why no one gathered here could easily harbor the hope that they would be able to withstand taking that hit.
It made sense.
[‘Snow Flower Blooms Fiercely’ manifests.]
[Executing the first move of the Reverse Heaven Period, Shi.]
[The momentum of the Heavenly King’s Tremor Energy increases.]
[The celestial magic sword ‘Omne’ casts the Rebirth of the Stars.]
Because this wasn’t just Dohyeon’s original sword, but a sword with Omne’s power added to it.
With the added momentum of the Heavenly King’s True Energy, it is truly overwhelming compared to when it was first used against the Red Devil Asion.
“Huh, that’s beyond my imagination.”
That is why Dohyeon was genuinely impressed.
“Can you endure that?”
“……That’s quite good.”
I mean to Myeolsal, who is standing perfectly fine even after taking that full hit.
Of course, it wasn’t fully received.
Because the sight of him staggering, covered in blood, on the thick dust, looked, at best, close to death.
but,
“……I admit it. That the current you is the Kaiser I knew from the past.”
Thump, the moment he took a step.
The calm air rippled like waves on a lake,
Whoosh!
In an instant, a fierce gust of wind burst forth, roughly sweeping away the dust that had been blocking the view.
The appearance of him revealed in that way was by no means that of a dying person.
It is transmitted through the air. That it is dangerous.
A ferocious momentum surges like a beast finally awakened from its slumber.
It was the moment he was about to tense up his body.
Flash-! Crash!!!
Something flashed like lightning, and then Dohyeon’s body flew far away as a loud roar rang out.
“What? What’s going on?”
-master!
-Lizariza!
“Huh?”
At that, the crowd and the Guardians jumped up.
The fact that I couldn’t understand what just happened.
Dohyeon, who had finally appeared, was leaning against a wall deeply gouged by the impact, clashing his magic sword against his own.
And a sword that looks like it was modeled after a meteor lying beneath Dohyeon.
[The special option ‘Destruction’ of the Dragon-Slaying Magic Sword ‘Xante’ is cast.]
[The ‘Rebirth of the Stars’ of the Heavenly Magic Sword ‘Omne’ has been destroyed.]
Kaang!
Dohyeon frowned as he lifted the magic sword he had been clashing with.
That’s ridiculous.
The Dragon Slayer Sword that I hadn’t used throughout this guild battle.
Its power far surpassed that of Omne, who was uniquely unrivaled.
I don’t know where they hid it and are only bringing it out now, but the most absurd thing right now wasn’t this.
When the Dragon Slayer Sword first flashed and rushed forward, Dohyeon reacted accurately.
He attempted a parry by timing it precisely when the option activated.
[Parry failed.]
… … I can’t parry.
However, the result was a disastrous failure.
It wasn’t a mistake. The timing was precise.
Nevertheless, the moment I tried to let it flow, it wouldn’t budge, as if a huge wall had blocked the way.
I haven’t tried it directly on Myeolsal, but I have an instinctive conviction.
‘… … It can’t be that it didn’t work because it was that sword.’
It feels like it has become a rule that it is impossible to let something flow out.
Dohyeon stood up, brushing off the dust clinging to his body, and let out a hollow laugh.
“……So this is it? The one you used on the Demon King.”
“That is right. It is a sword used only against those I acknowledge as worthy opponents to unleash my full power.”
“Is that so? It is a great honor. But…”
Dohyeon glanced sideways at Myeolsal and smirked.
“It feels like you’re putting in a lot of effort?”
What caught his eye were the significantly increased number of magic swords wandering around as if to protect the Annihilation.
“Does the magic sword hear the news and come looking for a comrade if they’re in danger? Why are there so many swords?”
He let out a hollow laugh and acted lightheartedly, but inwardly he was nervous.
‘Eleven, twelve… thirteen. No, if I include what I’m holding, is it fourteen?’
Because the pressure from the magic sword, which had doubled in size, was by no means insignificant.
Even when facing just six opponents, I had to use every trick in the book to land a single blow on him.
However, I have no idea how to pierce through thirteen swords.
Furthermore, the combination is different from before, when attack was used as defense.
[The Magic Sword of the Heart Vessel, Resonance Sword]
[Magic Sword of Chaos, Gladius Ritus Vinculi]
[Guardian Magic Sword, Bellum Caeli]
… …
[Wave Magic Sword, Water Surface Binding Sword]
A more systematic and balanced balance.
Among them, a particularly striking Japanese sword was one that resembled a demon-possessed sword.
I recognized it the moment I saw it.
– The Realm of Splitting – Path
That it was the sword that annihilated all of Rag Behemoth and Batan’s high magic with a single blow.
It must have been that sword that blocked Dohyeon’s attack, even if belatedly, as soon as the restraints were released.
Is that why?
[The opponent’s remaining health is 50% or less.]
Contrary to its appearance, Myeolsal’s stamina was quite formidable.
Your current vitality is 70%.
However, considering the reduced vitality on the way to deliver a blow, it is not a situation that can be said to be particularly advantageous.
“Kaiser, I’ve been curious about this for a long time.”
“what.”
“You, who possess not a single legendary skill, when you claimed victory against countless powerful opponents, never once failed to use a parry.”
“……Did I do that?”
Instead of an affirmative answer, Myeolsal slowly closed the distance and continued speaking.
“It’s ridiculous. Parrying is the easiest skill to acquire, yet no one bothers to use it. The fact that no one can master such a low-level skill… I used to have that thought while listening to your tales of heroism.”
“…….”
“Perhaps to you, parrying is more valuable than any legendary skill.”
Sreung-
[I have drawn the Sword of Great Weight, ‘Gravitus’.]
The power of a giant is imbued in the downward strike.
Meolsal, having fully drawn his greatsword from its scabbard for the first time, slowly assumed his stance.
His eyes, reflected in the sharply honed blade, were sparkling as if genuinely curious.
There is no more parrying here.
Myeolsal, aiming the heavy tip of his sword where the violent power of a giant pulsated, uttered no more words, but seemed to be asking.
Aren’t you half-baked without parrying?
If not that… … .
“her.”
Go ahead and show me.
You arrogant bastard.
Dohyeon’s answer to that was already decided the moment he heard it.
—-!
[Casting Legendary Skill, ‘Thunder Dragon Descent’.]
[Uses Legendary Skill, ‘Call of Destiny’.]
[There are currently 7 ★-rank traits saved.]
[Summons the ★-Rank trait ‘Destructive Inner Spear [Rundo]’.]
Crackling
“Right, that’s enough of a greeting.”
Dohyeon, who had turned blue from head to toe as if struck by lightning, spoke with eyes flashing like a beast.
Then let’s go into the second round.
That’s welcome news.
It was the moment the second round began in earnest.
* * *
“and…….”
“……her.”
“Damn it.”
“H-w-huh…… Awesome.”
“You’re crazy, seriously.”
Screams bordering on groans of admiration leak out from various parts of the audience.
He looked exactly like someone who had to poop, fidgeting and restless, but his gaze never left the stadium.
There was no other choice.
Whoosh, slash-
Kaang! Kang!
Above the center, where 13 swords, a snowstorm, and a white lion are fluttering.
The sight of Myeolsal and Kaiser clashing their swords was incredibly fierce.
Bang! Kaang! Clang!
Swords clash against swords, sparks fly in all directions, and a sharp sound rings out ceaselessly.
A scene that looks just like a fireworks display.
“W-what is this! It can’t keep up with the camera.”
“Kaiser, Myeolsal, you’re really going head-to-head! I can’t see you! What on earth is happening right now?”
“Ah, I heard more cameras were brought in… but it’s still chaotic! The sound is echoing so much it’s hurting my ears!”
“Huh, is this really a fight between users? Both players are on a completely different level from what they have shown before.”
“One thing is clear: at first, it looked like Kaiser was falling behind… but, hmph, I have absolutely no idea now.”
Even the commentators were left speechless by the fierce battle, which was taking place at such a rapid pace that it was difficult to follow with the eyes.
Their original role was to broadcast the course of the battle, but… this was beyond their control.
How are they supposed to broadcast when they can’t even capture the camera properly?
But that doesn’t mean we can just broadcast in slow motion.
The good thing is,
… … This is insane, seriously.
‘and…….’
‘Fourteen magic swords… …? At that rate, isn’t Myeolsal holding half of the magic swords in God of Savior?’
Defeating all of that is legendary.
Can you even see that?
The point was that the spectators were also watching in awe, so they didn’t blame anyone.
-Crazy, is this for real?
My heart swells with emotion.
Seriously, it’s a battle of the strongest.
– The commentators lol. They aren’t commentating, just staring blankly in awe.
I totally totally agree with this lol. How can anyone hold back that?
– No way lol How is this even the same teen guild lol
At this point, it’s basically like they didn’t conquer because annihilation was too much of a hassle.
Kaiser is no joke, either. He’s practically fighting 14 against 1 with his parrying sealed, yet he’s holding his own.
-Kamen… … .
Looking at their HP, it seems like neither of them takes fatal damage from the other, but since it’s hard to see, I don’t know who has the advantage.
The reaction in the official broadcast chat window is also in a similar situation.
The commotion was short-lived.
Bang! Kaang! Clang!
Whoosh—thud. Bang!
Slash, dodge, stab, and parry.
As the battle continued, the sound of the crowd gradually faded, and accordingly, the chat messages coming up also decreased.
Eventually, after about 10 minutes had passed.
The stadium was silence itself.
It was an unusual occurrence.
Usually, when PVP opens, there are bound to be people offering unsolicited advice, and that was the same even in battles between top-tier users.
However, that is only possible when the battle is within the bounds of common sense.
‘… … I’ve never seen anything like this before.’
“Is this really a user just like me? This… it’s not just that they’re strong; they live in completely different worlds.”
“Isn’t that the level of the Seven Rivers fighting?”
Damn it…
They say it’s a league of their own.
Although the fight between the teenage guild masters was also in that realm, I could say with certainty that it was certain.
This is a battle on a completely different level, even compared to those masters.
Advice? Admiration? Commentary?
……no.
To the fragments of a realm I experienced for the first time in my life.
All the users could do was try to catch up to this game.
