Part 2, Episode 223.
A shockwave erupting at the same time.
Kwaaaaaaaang!!!
A tremendous roar rang out, and a heavy shock enveloped my entire body.
Dohyeon, who had been thrown endlessly far away and only stopped after crashing into a wall, staggered to his feet.
Then, a woman looking at this place as if surprised appears blurry.
-Huh? You’re blocking this?
What’s wrong, Levi? Isn’t it time you retired? I’m disappointed.
No, that guy did the right thing. At that moment, he absorbed the attack and deflected it.
Then, several voices are heard mixed together.
The view is unclear due to the dusty wind, but three shadows are visible.
At that, Dohyeon gritted his teeth.
[Executed the 3rd move of the Reverse Heaven Period, Heaven.]
What the…
I would have been in danger if I hadn’t instantly unleashed the 3-second technique.
It was thanks to instinctively feeling threatened while parrying… … If I had relied solely on parrying, I would never have been able to block it and would have died.
Did the fight against the Annihilation help?
After all, the excessive reliance on parrying has been fixed.
That is all.
[Danger! I feel the overwhelming class.]
[Your HP is 10% or less.]
[Please be careful.]
The situation was the worst.
Still, whatever happened, we prevented the damage, and there was a hot-tempered guy on this side as well.
“……The soul of the sword.”
A low voice rings out.
[Activates Signature Trait ‘Sword Soul’.]
[You can imbue a soul into a sword you possess that can grow.]
[A soul has been imbued into the Legendary (Unique) Weapon ‘Rupture Realm – Blade’.]
[A soul has been imbued into the Legendary (Unique) weapon ‘Dragon-Slaying Magic Sword Xante’.]
… …
[A total of fifteen magic swords possess ‘Ego’ and enter the ‘Sword of Self-Power’ state.]
[Special options also apply to the area of the Sword of Igi.]
Shoo-! Whoa-
A total of fifteen swords swirled through the air, sweeping away the wind.
The moment the figures of the five became clearly visible.
[The celestial magic sword ‘Omne’ casts ‘The Rebirth of the Seventh Star’.]
[It is the return of a star imbued with the energy of the ‘Star of the Apocalypse’.]
‘Omne’, which ranks among the top tier of the magic swords of annihilation in terms of pure power, struck like a meteor shower.
And the following combo.
[The magic sword of the Heart Vessel, the Resonance Sword, begins to resonate.]
[The power of all swords wielded by the caster increases, and they move as a single sword.]
[The special option ‘Phantom Dance’ of the unknown magic sword ‘Phantom Sword’ is activated.]
[The special option ‘Flame’ of the Inferno Magic Sword ‘Flame Sword’ is activated.]
[The special option ‘Blue Wind Slash’ of the Wind Magic Sword Punghwageom is activated.]
[The special option ‘Destruction’ of the Dragon-Slaying Magic Sword Xanthe is cast.]
Magic swords, each treated as a legendary weapon, rage like a storm.
It was a technique that brought everyone to their knees and gave even Dohyeon a hard time, but…
Oh my, it’s quite beautiful.
The woman who walked out leisurely even after seeing that scene wore a gentle smile.
Pure white skin and striking features.
Eyes beautiful enough to captivate a man’s heart at first sight, yet somewhat unsettling as they resemble those of a reptile.
She was a woman with a striking, voluptuous figure wearing a blue dress made of a material that looked like mermaid scales.
Even though it’s nothing but pretty trash.
The moment a captivating voice, befitting its appearance, rang out clearly.
[Sea King Stream – Great Ocean Wall Break is cast.]
[The Queen of the Sea, possessing the qualifications of a true Sea King, creates a barrier of waves.]
Two pairs of waves, far surpassing Laihas’s tsunami, surged in and formed a massive barrier.
—-!!
He neutralized the pouring magic swords in an instant.
A ferocious barrier that goes beyond ordinary barriers that merely block things, devouring them completely.
“……what?”
It was when Myeolsal showed his bewilderment at the attack that had vanished so futilely.
… … To think he would use a sword like that.
You are not worthy to wield a sword. You are a disgrace to the swordsman.
Just as I thought I heard the voices of a man and a woman overlapping, a new model burst through the curtain of waves like a bolt of lightning.
Speed too fast to be perceived with the naked eye.
Hana Myeolsal instinctively raised her sword.
Normally, it would have been difficult to react, but perhaps due to the experience of having fully walked the path of supremacy in the duel just moments ago, my body reacted on its own.
Kaang!
Thanks to that, I was able to see the swords clashing in annihilation.
Having an androgynous appearance that makes it difficult to distinguish gender.
Something other than a human wearing a martial arts uniform, with two horns of different sizes sprouting from its forehead.
Oh, the reaction isn’t bad.
That’s all, though.
Two voices were mixing together coming out of his mouth.
Hana Myeolsal could not pay attention to such ‘trivial’ things.
Squeak- Squeak-
Because of the strength that was unbelievable for a small frame of about 160cm, it was dangerous enough that the sword would fly away if he relaxed his grip even slightly.
[Casting the special option ‘Giant Pressure’ of the Sword in the Womb, ‘Gravitus’.]
[Performs a downward strike imbued with the power of a giant.]
Even though I’m using high pressure… it’s lagging?
It’s not just a matter of falling behind; you can feel a gap as wide as that between an adult and a child.
-Hmm… Is it a giant? It looks like the power of a giant in its growth stage at best.
If you want to defeat me by force, bring at least a Great Warrior of the Giants.
“Ugh…….”
Compared to his relaxed opponent, Myeolsal, who was already in poor condition, was slowly losing his composure.
However, it wasn’t just Myeolsal and Kaiser on this side.
“How dare you……!!!! Do you know who you’ve messed with!!”
“Execute that audacious heretic!”
“In the name of Kashin!”
“Hwaaa!”
The leaders of the Kasin cult, including the fanatics who had been waiting outside the stadium, immediately rose up.
“Master! I’ll join in too!”
The female secretary holding the position of Vice-Master of the Execution Guild, as well.
He immediately drew his dagger and charged at me.
The first to reach the horned non-human being was a fanatic.
It is because I lost my mind and jumped in the moment I saw that bastard Dohyeon get kicked and fly away.
Her half-rolled eyes looked like a madwoman, a stark contrast to her Western aristocratic face.
[Casting Signature Trait, ‘Suppress Heresy’.]
[This ability can only be activated when eradicating heretics who defy one’s god, and it is triggered in response to faith in the god and the will to eradicate heresy.]
[The god registered by the caster in the signature trait is Player ‘Kaiser’.]
[The target is identified as hostile to your god.]
“Death for the heretic!”
As an enraged voice rang out, a huge red figure rose above her as she held her sword high.
The now familiar figure of Kaiser wearing the Black Mask and the Robe of Reverse Heaven.
-Hmm?
Isn’t that the same bowl from earlier? There is all sorts of fascinating technology.
The moment he stole the gaze of a non-human being.
As she brought the greatsword down, the figure of Kaiser also lowered his hand.
[‘Eradicate Heresy – Judgment of Fanaticism’ is activated.]
—–!!!
A threatening strike that looks like it will tear apart the entire front.
I could feel her anger, which was particularly ominous even compared to before.
She wasn’t the only one.
Pew pew pew-! Pew pew!
Scrape!
Harrington had suddenly taken over the barrier in front of the stands…
No, the guard dog shot arrows like crazy.
Phenomenal rapid fire exceeding 5 shots per second.
The hissing sound coming from him every time he pulled the bowstring showed just how angry he was.
Bang! Bang bang!
[Transcendence Trait ‘Poem of Explosion’ is activated.]
[The speed at which the arrow is fired gradually increases, and the power of the explosion rises.]
Even those explosive arrows, each and every one of them causing a powerful explosion.
However, it was somewhat different from before.
Instead of a burst of red effects from the explosion, a golden flash flashed, brilliantly adorning the space.
[Signature trait ‘Heavenly Spirit Song’ is activated.]
[This is a poem imbued with the reverence and determination of an archer serving a deity. The greater the reverence and faith, the greater the power, and it becomes even more potent when seeking to protect the deity.]
[The power of the arrow is amplified.]
[The speed of the arrow is amplified.]
[The power of poetry-based skills is maximized.]
[Protecting the god. The power amplification is applied at the maximum value.]
After gaining faith(?).
It was an arrow containing the fruit of his labor, returned after striving with the sole determination to become a believer worthy of God.
“Pay for the sin of defying God with death!”
“Kameen.”
In addition to that, there were all-out strikes from other executives, and
Whoosh, whoosh-!
[Casting the Transcendence Trait ‘Sin of Reverse Flow’.]
[Forcing the internal energy of an enemy wounded by a dagger to flow in the opposite direction, temporarily rendering them unable to use mana.]
[When the duration ends, twists the mana flow to trigger a powerful explosion inside.]
On top of that, there was even the combined attack of the female secretary, who is said to not lag far behind even the top 10 guild masters.
Even right in front of me, a greatsword loaded with immense pressure is clashing.
In the end, the non-human being was helplessly trapped and had to endure the combined attack.
Kwaaaaang-!!!
Along with a dizzying shockwave, a deafening roar rang out, strong enough to make one’s skin tremble.
Power strong enough to make one think no one could survive.
but…….
“oh my god.”
“oh my god…….”
“This is ridiculous……!”
“!”
Users watching this entire scene from the stands.
And the fanatics and executives who faced it right before their eyes were shocked.
Even if I couldn’t kill him, I had no doubt that I had dealt him a blow.
Sss-
The being right in front of me was perfectly fine.
However, what surprised them the most was not that reason.
Another being standing in the way of the horned non-human.
What would you have done if it weren’t for me?
A shirtless man with a prominent lion’s mane interrupted.
Are your eyes just for decoration? It could have been stopped even without you.
Putting on airs just because you blocked a few petty attacks… Tsk tsk.
Yes, yes, I suppose so.
A man smirking at a non-human being expressing dissatisfaction.
In contrast to the light, casual tone, an astonishingly overwhelming momentum is encroaching upon the entire space.
‘… … I didn’t notice at all.’
How did you… all these attacks…?
“Is there a secret to that posture? As soon as I assumed a Tai Chi-like stance, everything was blocked.”
At that, the pupils of the executives and the female secretary wavered.
But there is only one person.
“Death for heretics!!”
Only the fanatic swung the greatsword with a horizontal slash without stopping.
It was a majestic presence, possessing the true qualities of a great warrior, never wavering in fear or hesitating in the face of the enemy, but… …
Crack-
Unfortunately, the opponent was not good.
[Player ‘Fanatic’ has died.]
One strike.
The man who had pierced the stomach with a single strike nodded.
What’s wrong? Why are you so weak?
A face devoid of a shred of malice, as if genuinely unable to understand.
As soon as she threw it aside as if she had lost interest, she turned to dust and vanished.
They charged in with such enthusiasm, I thought they might be capable of something… Is this the level of the Apostles? It’s below expectations.
“…Tsk. I was really enjoying myself, so why are you interrupting and making a fuss?”
Can you even enjoy dealing with such worthless pieces of trash?
The man, grumbling and spitting out words, stepped forward, his lion’s mane billowing.
“I’m going to do it now, so come out. I’m the one who has business with the vessel of the God of Fighting.”
The man’s gaze was directed at only one place.
A man wearing a pitch-black mask, staggering to his feet and gripping a sword.
-Hey, you have it, right?
Ding-
[Bairan’s golden banner reacts violently.]
[The original owner of the emblem is nearby.]
-My banner.
