Part 2, Episode 244.
“Thanks for the advice……!?”
It was then that the King of Power’s body flew away.
A shock that felt like it would shatter every bone shook my entire body, my head rumbled, and my vision blurred as if I were about to lose consciousness.
It was just a political attack.
What happened the moment it seemed like an ordinary regime was about to be overthrown.
However… … it would be the same for the other party.
Whoosh-
[Geukyang Jinkwon 1st Level – Pakong Hoa]
[Burns the interior with Yang energy that transcends the limits of the ‘Sun Pole’.]
The moment it hit, the counter-punching punch landed precisely in the guy’s abdomen.
Derived from a tiger’s fangs, it was the first technique of Geukyangjin-gwon, as well as the most useful and powerful single-target technique.
By now, being in a solar polarity state, it must be sending energy to block the flames trying to burn the inside…
-Kuh… That’s pretty good.
“I’m not the type to just sit there and take it. But aren’t you blocking it a bit too easily? Usually, people get flustered the first time they face it.”
I’ve lived for so long. I should figure this out quickly. Let’s go back.
“Hmph, that’s exactly what I was hoping for.”
The state of the Red God is the result of drawing out the extreme Yang Punishment Power to its absolute limit.
It was the current Solar Pole that transcended the limits once again using the power of overcoming that.
The time I can hold out is at most 5 minutes… … .
If this drags on, it is at a disadvantage for us.
I should have struck before I could properly grasp their abilities, so it was a shame that I figured them out too quickly.
The good news is that Dakan is a more belligerent martial artist than anyone else.
It means that he will never show his back.
The one that breaks first will lose.
Dran Grandit raised the corners of his mouth at the first real sword fight he would face since ascending to the throne of the King of Fists.
As a martial artist, I was confident in hitting my limits.
“Dran! It’s Dran! Dran is helping Lady Lucia!”
“We can’t lose either!”
“That’s right!”
“Are you planning to leave everything to the nymphs? Let’s teach them a lesson!”
“Wooooo!”
Could it be that the sight of such heroes ignited a spark?
Other races also jumped into the battlefield one by one, as if they could not be outdone.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time… … .
An unknown place on the Island of Divine Beasts, Laxia.
[Dragon Language has been activated and you have been teleported.]
“Ugh… even though I’ve been through this before, I still can’t get used to it. Where on earth am I?”
I asked to be sent because I had to participate in the war, but they just teleported me away…
No matter how much I looked around, this was not a place that had existed before.
The land of the Beastmen also had cliffs and waterfalls, and the terrain was rugged, but.
I mean, the fog was so thick that I couldn’t even see well.
Come to think of it, Drakar did add something like that right before the spatial transfer.
“Hoho, Heir. I sense an intriguing thread of fate emanating from you. In this case… … it would be best to send you over there.”
“?”
I will send you to the place where you can join the war as quickly as possible.
It was a meaningful remark in many ways.
But after all that talk about the thread of fate and all that, why did you send me to a place like this where nothing can be seen?
It’s already urgent because it feels like a war has broken out.
‘Should I just jump? If it’s a thread of fate, does that mean I know someone? There’s no way I’d have an acquaintance in a place like this…’
It was when Dohyeon, feeling anxious, was lost in thought.
Suddenly, the surroundings became dark.
Saaa-
It was because of the huge silhouette revealed beyond the fog.
Due to its sheer size, the moment my hand instinctively reached for the riverbank before I could even determine if the opponent was an enemy or not.
Dohyeon opened his eyes wide upon seeing something huge emerge from the fog.
“Huh? Uh oh?”
It was such a perplexing identity.
But that was only for a moment. Dohyeon’s face was filled with joy.
“You were here!? Wow, I never expected that. Long time no see, man.”
Why Drakar called it an interesting thread of fate.
Why it was said to be the place where one could join the war the fastest.
It was the moment everything made sense immediately.
Thanks to that, Dohyeon exchanged greetings with a welcome face, and the corners of his mouth curled up broadly.
Just wait, Cardium.
I’ll come pay you back right away.
Waaah! Waaah!
Grrrr!!
The battlefield is filled with the diverse shouts of various races and the spine-chilling roars of monstrous beasts.
And it was filled with the sound of fierce clashes and fighting.
The Reta tribe and other races resembling ogres.
In addition, numerous other races joined forces and began to drive back the monsters.
Among them, the most noticeable are, as expected, the elves…
To be exact, it was two elves.
[The brilliant hero of the Dark Elves, ‘Astra Ravencia’, manifests the Sword of Radiance.]
[Emits an aura imbued with radiant light.]
[The intensity and power of the light change according to the path the hero has walked and the years that have passed.]
[It has been confirmed that you have walked the glorious path of a hero.]
—-!!!
Astra, slicing through the monsters while flashing a brilliant aura, and
[Elf Elder, ‘Alterion Elandriel’ activates the trait ‘Archmage’.]
[‘Alterion Elandriel’ casts the area-of-effect spell ‘Vine of the Divine Tree’.]
[Due to the Archmage trait, casting speed is greatly reduced, while range and power are greatly increased.]
Leave the rear to me and focus on the front.
“I am doing that. I’m picking up the speed.”
Alterion, assisting Astra and unleashing a barrage of area-of-effect magic.
And taking advantage of the gap as the tree vines advanced and ensnared the enemies, the Dark Elf forces rushed in and swung their swords and spears.
Pababak! Pababak!
The Elf Knights fired arrows and magic in unison.
And among them was a somewhat unusual arrow.
Pow pow pow! Pow-!
[Transcendence Trait ‘Poem of Explosion’ is activated.]
[The speed at which the arrow is fired gradually increases, and the power of the explosion rises.]
It was his trademark explosive arrow, which only Harrington could handle.
[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.]
The power of the arrow bursting with a golden flash stood out exceptionally even among the elf archers.
Its rapid-fire capability is also unrivaled.
It was indeed a skill that could be called the best archer, acknowledged by all users of God of Savior.
And the fact that Harrington appeared means… … .
[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 designated targets are identified as hostile to your god.]
[‘Eradicate Heresy – Judgment of Fanaticism’ is activated.]
“Death for the heretic!”
“For Kasin!”
“Kamen.”
It meant that the fanatic, Anastasia, and the Kasin guild she led had also participated.
With the 12 officers leading the charge, they howled and rushed toward Kashin; their bravery bordered on madness.
It was as if their backs were a lava field; there was never any retreat, only a charge.
“Aaaargh!”
“Eek! Th-crazy bastards. Get away!”
“Look at their eyes. They’re totally out of their minds.”
“Ugh! I’d rather die than be killed by those bastards!”
A fierce determination to behead even one more executioner, even if it means being hindered by demonic beasts and bitten to death.
There is only one reason for harboring such malice.
“Death to those who defy the light of Kasin!”
“Death!”
There is no paradise for the one who flees. Make way for Him!
“yes!”
“Kamen…….”
Along with the conviction to eradicate heresy, it was for the sake of the guild master, Kaiser.
However, it was not Kaiser who was roaming such a wide path.
Shhh- whoosh, thud!
Pfft!
An invisible figure was roaming the battlefield, piercing the vital points of the monsters like a ghost.
There was only one person in God of Worlds who could use this level of stealth.
[Legendary Skill, ‘Demon Slayer Annihilation’ is active.]
[Activates stealth that cannot be detected even by legendary Insight. Movement speed increases while in stealth, and attacking breaks stealth and deals 500% increased damage.]
[Activates Unique Ability ‘Maintain’.]
[Apply the effect of Demon Slayer Annihilation to maintain Stealth for three attacks while ignoring dispels.]
Shina, the master of the 10th guild, Blood Slayer.
She, who had been killing demons more safely than anyone else—paradoxically—in the most dangerous position, glanced back.
I clicked my tongue inwardly as I looked at the followers of the Kasin religion, whose eyes were half-crazed.
Anyway, those vicious things…
They say guys high on drugs are scarier than just strong guys.
They were such disgusting guys when they turned into enemies, but now that they are allies, I couldn’t be more reassured.
Each and every one of them is on par with a vice-master of a top 10 guild.
In the case of Harrington and the fanatics, it is safe to say they are masters, so the crazy ones are even strong.
Above all, they have Kaiser.
Shina shuddered as she recalled the battle with him, as if she had gotten goosebumps.
Ugh, I absolutely must not make him an enemy.
As if determined not to get involved at all.
She plunged back into the monsters and swung her dagger, then sped away from the Kasin religion.
Then, as if to fill the empty seats, users on the side of the Beast and the Executor immediately swarmed in, but
Crack- crack-
An ice flower that bloomed somewhere began to slowly expand its range.
Finally, the moment the ice flowers fully bloomed.
[Activates Transcendence Trait ‘The Last Ice Mage’.]
[Activates only when standing alone and noble before an enemy; the next Ice-element skill cast gathers surrounding chill to deliver a strike that transcends one’s limits.]
[Casting Legendary Skill ‘Ice Spear Heavenly Fall’.]
[Drops an extreme ice spear from the sky to the ground, inflicting significant damage within a certain range.]
A massive ice spear, overwhelming in its size, slammed down, freezing all the monsters within a 50-meter radius.
The fully bloomed ice flower burst open, scattering beautiful snow powder.
“ah…….”
The moment users were momentarily left speechless by a beautiful landscape that seemed to have bloomed in the middle of a battlefield.
Whoosh!
[Signature trait ‘Inferno Flame’ activates.]
Just as flames swept through and burned the snow, nine pillars of fire descended from the sky.
[Casting the Legendary Skill ‘Nine Heavens Karmic Fire’.]
[Nine massive pillars of fire fall from the sky, turning the ground into a lava field.]
[Enemies hit by this fire take damage over time and accumulate ‘Mark’ stacks. When a certain number of stacks are accumulated, the Mark explodes, dealing secondary damage.]
Then, the beautiful scenery was instantly transformed into a horrific scene reminiscent of hell.
“……Siana.”
“What are you dawdling for? Now is the time to push hard.”
That is the right thought.
The answer came from above, not from Lephias.
Taat!
A man with a short, sporty haircut was swinging his sword at a named monster charging toward them.
[Soul Absorption is activated.]
[Absorbs a portion of the spirit from a defeated opponent to strengthen the caster’s mana and body.]
[Unfolding the Flower of the Soul, the second blossom, ‘Grande Charunda’.]
[Consumes all absorbed spirits to inflict a direct, irresistible blow to the souls of all targets within a 5m radius.]
The sight of hundreds of mysterious blue flowers resembling roses bursting open all at once was truly beautiful.
And, following that, the third song, Volusha Lapen.
The moment a giant flower blooming on the battlefield piles up layer upon layer, reminiscent of the face of a mysterious woman.
The man thrust his greatsword into the guys who were scrambling with their senses twisted.
—–!!
Grr-grr-!
With a dazzling flash of effect, not only the named giant monster but also the beasts following behind suffered heavy damage and collapsed.
“Gaon!”
You’ve come.
Member of the Seven Rivers, Spirit King Saital Gridna.
It was Gaon, her top disciple and known as the strongest NPC user.
The two welcomed him, but Gaon immediately got straight to the point in a serious tone.
The momentum is good. We must strike while the King of Power and the King of the Sea are holding them back. We never know when the Fairy King might recover.
“Ah, yeah. You’re right.”
“Let’s go. Let’s show them the power of our NPC faction.”
“Right, I’m going to put him in his place!”
“For once, you’re thinking the same thing as me, Siana.”
As Lephias chuckled and immediately brought forth an ice flower, Siana also made a flame shoot up, not to be outdone.
but,
You’re running late. I’ll go ahead.
Taat, sssh-!
“Ugh!”
“Ga, Gaon!?”
“Damn it! Why did you have to come this way?”
The two moved first, but it was Gaon who cut off the executioners’ necks faster.
Since most of the monsters are being handled by non-human races, their top priority is to capture the Executors.
The balance between different races and enemy forces is roughly even.
After all, the scales will tip even further depending on the balance of the users.
Whoosh, puff!
Boom! Whoosh! Crunch!
From Sina of Bloodslaying to Gaon, Lephias, and Siana.
And even the other high-rankers.
It was truly a continuous series of outstanding performances, but the problem was that the rivals were not the only ones with ten guilds.
Ahhh- ahh-
Heavenly harmony heard from somewhere.
And following that, a brilliant golden light colored the battlefield.
“This is……!?”
“Ah, it’s Arthur! Run!”
“The King bastards are here!”
“Damn it, back off! I need to get out of the area.”
The users turned pale as they realized what it was, but a stern voice blocked their path.
It’s too late.
Master of the 10th Guild, The King.
Arthur, the master of the Holy Sword and the player’s strongest Holy Knight.
It was after he had already stuck the holy sword into the ground.
Descent of the Sanctuary
The divine power spreading from the spot where the holy sword was embedded instantly spread to the surrounding area, creating a sacred domain.
