Part 2, Episode 221.
But at the same time, I was feeling it.
There is no end to it at this rate.
Just as he adapted to combat without parrying.
He is also adapting to his changed self.
The fact that the frequency of them causing harm to each other gradually decreased significantly was the proof.
If we continue like this, it will only increase the time it takes for us to adjust to each other.
If that happens, it will eventually become a battle of endurance.
The one who tires out first loses.
Even Myeolsal must be sensing that.
That is why it was a pity.
The fact that a long-awaited, blood-boiling match is coming to such a futile end.
Was it a coincidence that our eyes met at that moment?
“…….”
The two people, whose eyes met, stopped abruptly as if by prior agreement.
The swords that had been swung furiously with the intent to split things in half, and the magic swords that had been raining down like a downpour, came to a standstill right where they were, as if time had stopped.
“That’s interesting. Can I say we’re thinking the same thing?”
“……That’s right.”
So, you prefer a fiery ending over a bland one, too?
No answer came back.
No, it just didn’t come back in words.
He answered.
Swoosh.
By slowly sheathing the greatsword and narrowing the stride.
Then, the guy’s spirit changed.
Goooooh-
Like a heavy rock.
With every slow stride he takes, an indescribable, strange aura emanates from him.
A feeling of encountering something of nature rather than a person.
This is just like… … .
‘Sword Emperor… … .’
The Emperor of Swords, known as the Seven Stars of the Empire and the strongest sword.
Sword Emperor, Garfield Drew.
Although the nature was different, it was similar to what I felt when I first received that monstrous old man’s sword.
Just as I was instinctively on guard, Myeolsal suddenly spoke up.
“……In the land of the giants, there is the Rock of Promise. It is a tomb containing the spirits of our ancestors, as well as a product that gives strength to future generations.”
“?”
Due to personal circumstances, I had to pound that unbreakable rock countless times.
In the process, Myeolsal gained a realization that seemed to come true.
Not a simple change, but something within… no, going further, a strange sensation as if the very composition of the soul has changed.
It was a sense of vastness that could never be felt in reality.
Although not perfect, I have firmly grasped it.
This is a sword strike containing it.
Myeolsal added a vague remark and gripped the sword with weight.
Now, I feel as though I have crossed a huge rock and am facing a mountain.
Moreover, the sharp aura lurking beyond that distance wrapped around my entire body as if to cut through it.
‘… … That guy. Did he go over that?’
The first step to entering the supreme realm is to transcend the realm of something.
The Sword Emperor used to express it like this.
-Opening a door. That is how we often describe it.
Then, what is it called to cross the gate of that realm and take the first step?
When she last made contact with the Sword Saint, she answered the question he asked like this.
– One who walks the supreme path.
This was not simply a definition handed down by her or the Sword Emperor.
[Player ‘Myeolsal’ has stepped into the Supreme Realm.]
[While in the area, the unique trait ‘One Who Walks the Supreme Path’ is activated.]
[A distant realm dwells in the sword.]
[Warning! I sense an overwhelming level.]
[Watch out for the strike.]
In fact, it remained in the realm of myth in Avtartel and was passed down as such.
The dream realm of all swordsmen, and the domain leading to the strongest.
A fragment of that territory, which even the Sword Emperor could not completely conquer, was now revealing itself here.
[Transcendent Unique Ability ‘Master of the Sword’ is activated.]
[You gain the qualification to become the master of any sword, and the sword’s performance and power grow in proportion to the master’s level.]
[The magic sword ‘Rupture – Blade’ receives the effect of ‘Sword Master’.]
[Advancing one step deeper into the realm of supreme power.]
Through the sword’s master.
“This is a sword strike containing everything I have.”
My skin tingles with a chill, and every cell in my body is signaling danger.
Strength that makes it seem as though they are facing a user.
Dohyeon smiled in front of him.
As if delighted. As if completely satisfied.
Yeah, it should be at least this good.
That way, wouldn’t it be more exciting to compete for the top spot?
Dohyeon, with the corners of his mouth curled up, assumed the same posture as him.
A posture that looks as solid and massive as Mount Tai.
At first glance, it resembled Annihilation, but the fundamental basis forming that energy had a completely different nature.
[Activates the trait ‘God of Fighting’.]
[When entering combat, your physical abilities increase until the battle ends.]
[You will gain power that surpasses the limit by one level, limited to combat-related abilities.]
[Sword Aura – Slashes are enhanced by the influence of attributes.]
[By manifesting the Spirit of Fighting, the path to the next realm becomes clearer.]
This is a sword that inherited the will of a man who sought to destroy a god in a human body.
It was also the best sword Dohyeon knew, at least.
However, it is still not enough.
Because I couldn’t complete the 4th move.
On the other hand, that fellow walks the supreme path, of course.
Around it, fifteen magic swords are aiming their tips.
It looks like I’ve suddenly ended up in a 16-on-1 situation, but…
Smirk.
It doesn’t matter.
Because I had something saved for this moment.
It’s not like I’m the only one left.
As Dohyeon solidified his posture and parted his lips, a notification soon rang out.
[Activates the additional ability ‘Strengthened Life’ granted by the Legendary Skill, ‘Call of Destiny’.]
[Forcibly summons the fate of one who cannot yet bear it.]
[You can summon characteristics of a higher level.]
[There are currently 6 ★-rank traits saved.]
[The traits that can be summoned are up to ‘★★’ grade.]
-Pain [King of Outlaws] ★★
– The One Who Devours Existence [Great Catastrophe] ★★
– Power of Destruction [Commander of the 4th Legion of Destruction] ★★★
– Power of Darkness [Black Knight Garion (Dark Dragon Species) (Fusion)] ★★★
– The Ultimate Realm [The Forgotten King] ★★★★
– Scythe that Severs the Source [Batan] ★★★
-Empty slot
The Destructive Inner Spear is consumed, leaving 6 slots remaining.
I guess this would be good.
Among them, the option Dohyeon would choose was already decided.
Ding!
As he chose without a moment’s hesitation, a chilling cold enveloped Dohyeon, and his eyes turned red.
It was a bloody tragedy.
Made of the deaths of countless living beings.
-! Th-that’s!
-Lizari! Liza!
Oh!
The Guardians watching from behind reacted immediately.
Among them, the reaction of Jihad was the greatest.
That was because there was no one here as familiar with this ability as he was.
[Summons the ★★-tier trait ‘Pain [King of Outlaws]’.]
[The King’s full nature, having shouldered all the suffering of his people, awakens.]
That’s Pain’s ability!
-Liza!
Indeed, it is an excellent choice, my lord.
One of the bosses who pushed Dohyeon the hardest on this continent, and a king who left a deep impression.
Even though he has now been reduced to a subordinate of Jihad, his abilities were real.
[The power of pain dwells.]
[If you inflict a certain amount of pain on the opponent, that part will be destroyed.]
[You will not take damage from one attack for 20 seconds.]
[You will not take damage from the Ice Magic Sword ‘Frosty Ratasha’.]
[You will not take damage from the Inferno Magic Sword ‘Flame Sword’.]
… …
[You are immune to damage from the Heart Vessel’s magic sword, the Resonance Sword.]
Because as soon as I activated my ability, I became immune to his magic swords.
A cheat trait that overpowers even the most powerful transcendent traits.
I can’t believe this is only two stars. It’s such a great deal.
Moreover, at that time, Pain was unable to fully handle this power due to the risk of descending into the present world.
Even Dohyeon did not know the extent of the power of pain that was fully unleashed.
“……Did I know you had such a talent?”
“Yeah, I’m a bit of a jack-of-all-trades.”
“It doesn’t matter. Even that ability won’t be able to stop this sword.”
“Well, I wonder if things would be different if I actually got hit.”
After exchanging a few words, Dohyeon aimed his sword.
Since pain has an effect, simply enduring it brings you closer to victory.
If we take a slightly more strategic approach, it might actually be safer to counterattack or deflect while minimizing damage.
but.
I can’t let it end like that.
I cannot be satisfied with such a half-hearted victory.
Whether he dies or I die.
Only when one side is finished can it finally be brought to a close.
[The Heavenly King’s Tremor Energy transcends its limits under the influence of the Fighting God.]
[The momentum utilizing the Ki manipulation technique of the Knight King, ‘Ruslein Valemont’, manifests explosively.]
The energy that had been settling heavy like a mountain inside Dohyeon surged with the force of an explosion.
Beyond my vision, half-obscured by the violently surging energy, I see Myeolsal’s eyes, which have grown noticeably larger.
It’s similar to back then.
Colleagues who felt like a wall at first.
Dohyeon grew every time he constantly stood against and clashed with them, and the more he did so, the more the expressions on their faces changed moment by moment as they parried his sword.
Like the current destruction.
And by the time I finally became a comrade with them… … .
So, at the last moment.
I won everything.
There is no exception to that fact today.
Dohyeon twisted the corners of his mouth and took a step forward.
Taat,
Dohyeon also lowered his sword toward Myeolsal, who was swinging his sword while rushing at him simultaneously as if by prior agreement.
The moment the two swords clashed like that.
—–!!!!
A deafening, dizzying shockwave enveloped the stadium.
* * *
– OMG;;
-and……
– Was that shockwave for real? It looks like it covered the entire stadium.
-shivers
-It fills my heart with awe… … Is this really the PVP I’ve been playing?
I’m a PVP guild leader, but I should just switch to a PVE guild… What I was doing wasn’t PVP, it was just playing house.
Wow, I’m changing my diaper for the fourth time…
I have 5 chapters.
Who won? Who won?
– Both Annihilation and Kaiser are seriously super strong.
It really wouldn’t be strange no matter who won this.
Good fight even though you lost;;;
Seriously, if you expose this, you’re just proving you’re a bug lol
So who won?
Wait a minute, you bastard. We’re watching the same broadcast right now, how are we supposed to know? Our view is completely blocked, so we can’t see anything.
The chat window shook violently at the powerful vibrations and loud noises that were even transmitted through the screen.
They all felt it instinctively.
That this single blow would have decided the outcome.
Gulp.
The stands were incredibly silent.
Who will be the winner?
I just stare at the dust-covered stadium to notice it even a little sooner.
Even the commentators stopped their commentary and focused.
-ah!
Someone is standing there!
After what felt like an eternity, as a blurry silhouette emerged, the commentator reacted immediately.
The audience jumped up from their seats at the sight of a figure that was not yet clearly visible.
It was an instinct to want to see it from even a little closer.
And at that moment.
-iced coffee……!
As the dusty wind that had been obscuring the view cleared, the identity of the standing figure was revealed.
The commentators took a deep breath and shouted with all their might.
The winner is Kaiser!!
– Ka-Player Kaiser! He proudly defeated the Execution Guild’s Annihilation and claimed the championship!
– The strongest guild… … and furthermore, the moment the strongest player in God of Savior is decided! The master of the previous generation reclaims the throne and proudly wears the crown!
Who could have predicted this! That the former king, returning after more than a year and a half, would rewrite history!!
– The return of the king, no, the return of the god!!
As if to reciprocate, the crowd also let out the cheers they had been holding back all along.
Waaahhhhhh-!!!!!!!!
A thunderous roar shakes as if to engulf the whole world.
A sound that feels like it could tear the eardrums pierces the lungs, and a resonance that vibrates the entire space travels up the ground and extends from the toes to the top of the head.
“Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser! Kaiser!”
“Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch! Kaiser Punch!”
“Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!”
“Kameeeeeen!!”
“Waaah! This is insane!!”
“I believed, O God!!”
Everyone is shouting out themselves.
Covered in blood and full of wounds, Dohyeon, savoring the thrill, confidently reached out his hand.
Waaah-!! Waaah!!
It was the return of God.
