126. Rematch (3)
“Press down.”
The moment I spoke the command by < Death Magic >.
Kieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The fishmen who were scattered here and there began to gather together, screaming all at once.
Of course, there were cases where Namgung-hyeok’s body was completely divided into fragments, but
even those things were not covered, and they crawled on the ground as if sliding and rushed at Namgung-hyeok quickly.
“I even learned the necromancy of a cult…!”
Namgoong-hyeok, who saw that, was frightened and tried to wipe out the collection of fishmen by swinging his sword, but it was impossible.
In fact, < Death Magic >, which was activated through the gray crown of the ancient emperor, could manipulate anything that was dead.
The dead never stop moving unless they are completely destroyed.
‘B+ grade < Death Magic > is that powerful.’
But I couldn’t completely relax either.
「The durability of the Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) decreases by 0.01%.」
「The Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) durability decreases by 0.01%…」
「The Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) )’s durability decreased by 0.01%…]
The crown on her head suffered from incontinence without a break, and its durability decreased.
If things went on like this, the crown itself could be broken, so I had to move quickly as planned.
‘Let’s finish quickly.’
Watching Namgung-hyeok wielding his sword like crazy, I raised my suspicions even more.
「The Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) exclusive effect < Death Magic (B+) > is strongly activated.」 「
All the dead move up by 300%, and unless the corpse is completely destroyed, the spirit magic will not be dispelled.」
「The Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) is affected by the strong active state of < Death Magic (B+) >.
」
The fishmen crawling on the ground began to move at transcendental speeds.
damn
Then I added one more command, feeling a great crack in the crown on my head.
“Hold on.”
Following that order, the group of the dead began not only to oppress Namgung-hyeok, but to seize him.
Even though it was simply one more instruction, the efficiency did not increase by just one instruction.
The corpses, which were busy holding Namgoong-hyeok down, now moved to cling to him in an ugly way.
Namgung-hyeok eventually allowed some gap in the swarm of corpses quickly gathering.
“Ouch! Let this go! How dare you do sordid tricks…!”
Immediately, even his voice quickly faded as it was buried in the mass of corpses.
Namgoong-hyeok’s new model is now completely trapped in the fishman’s tower and cannot be seen.
「The Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-) exclusive effect < Death Magic (B+) > is disabled.」
So, I took off the Ashen Crown I was wearing on my head and put it in my inventory.
He concentrated his mind while holding the Blood Demon Sword and the counterattack shield with both hands.
‘I have to finish it with the strongest technique possible.’
With all the conditions in place, he should have been able to kill Namgung-hyeok.
The only problem is that if you can’t kill him in one shot at this opportunity, the fight will become somewhat messy.
In order to prevent such a situation, I had to use the strongest technique to finish it.
In this situation, to my knowledge, there was only one technique with the highest killing power.
Chang Chun Yun-Geom (蒼天輪劍).
This plant-eating, which once transformed the entire Tokyo area into a flat land, was the strongest wide-area technique I knew.
The clumsy magical sword in his hand rotated slowly at the same time as his waist twisted.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ releases the accumulated damage at once.」
A flash of light that seemed to blind the eyes exploded from the tip of the sword and emitted like a whirlwind.
The storm of light, which should have been powerful originally…
「The special effect of the skill ‘Soul Source Demon Sword 混元魔劍’, ‘Double Combustion’ is activated.
」
***
The scene after a total of three storms swept through the area was beyond imagination.
At all, all the trees were burned, and all the water that was filling the lake was evaporated.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the concept of destruction itself appeared and then disappeared.
In this situation, Namgung-hyeok could not have been alive.
But…
“I’m really going crazy.”
Namgung-hyeok was alive even after being hit with all these crazy attacks.
Of course, the condition was not to the extent that it could be said to be fine.
The clothes have long been tattered, and blood is flowing from the eyes, ears, and mouth.
However, I was able to realize it when I saw the brilliance of the sword in Namgoong-hyeok’s hand.
It’s as if this battle has already been lost.
‘What the hell is that again…’
I was dumbfounded when I saw the starlight-like brilliance flowing from Namgung-hyeok’s sword.
As I climbed the tower, I knew right away because I had accumulated experience in many ways.
That was not a skill or authority, but a skill expressed through pure skill.
Even that is of a higher level than swordsmanship or swordsmanship.
I wondered if it would be like that if I added three properties to the sword.
Thinking about it for a moment, it wasn’t that again.
‘It wasn’t an attack that could be defended just by adding one more property that could be applied to the sword.’
I squinted my eyes at him for a moment, but soon realized the correct answer and felt a sense of collapse.
‘This is just a foul…’
The correct answer I realized as I watched the resonating magic power around Namgung-hyeok.
Geomchi is a skill that adds a property that interferes with the law to the sword itself, and Geomchi is a state where one more property can be added.
That was a kind of extreme intention that allowed him to go beyond that level and even use the magic around him like sword flames. If you go further from that level, if you set your mind to
it, you can
cut everything as if you were swinging a sword… .
‘I feel like I know why Namgung-hyeok worshiped martial arts so much.’
It was also understood that he was able to escape from the influence of Chang Chun Yun-geom, which was repeated three times.
I didn’t use any great skills or special powers.
‘I couldn’t believe it, but I just used the blue sword…’
Namgung-hyeok originally only used the defensive herb that he was able to use.
However, the defensive herbivore itself is strengthened like crazy and affects the surroundings, so this result came out.
As I stared at Namgoong-hyeok, sobbing, his mouth opened.
“…Let it be known as an honor. Originally, the sword was not meant to be seen by the likes of you.”
Unlike before, Namgoong-hyuk’s tone was quite tired.
It was worth it.
The technique Namgung-hyuk just showed off was beyond his level.
No matter how great Namgung-hyeok is, you can’t casually use something like that.
To explain, the current Namgung-hyeok was in a state of death with just one proper attack.
Even from the way he gasped for breath and the detection of his magic circuits, it was clear that he had little energy left.
It was a divine move to drain the energy as if to tease him in advance.
Namgoong-hyuk’s technique must have been his last resort to escape a desperate situation.
If I could drive him to the corner one more time like this, it was clear that I would win.
“…”
However, the problem is that there is a high probability that I will be killed before killing Namgoong-hyeok in that state.
It was none other than the star-like brilliance of his sword.
Even I couldn’t even try to turn off the time because my mana was empty now.
「The authority ‘Quick Magical Charge’ is activated.」
Even though the previously acquired authority was activated, the speed of magic recovery did not increase much.
‘It takes 10 minutes for all magic power to recover.’
Even though he was enduring damage to his magic circuit and accepting his magic, it was still like this…
Judging from the current level of recovery, the best thing to do was to attack a few times.
But I burned my will and glared at Namgung-hyeok.
As the saying goes, it’s not over until it’s over.
Even though the victory was completely on the decline, there was still a chance for me to turn around.
‘If everything went as I thought, it wouldn’t be a situation where I would completely despair.’
「The authority ‘Sword of Iron Blood’ is activated.」
Namgung-hyeok laughed as he saw the summoned sword in his left hand before he knew it.
“Until the very end, such an outrage. I will put an end to that ugly struggle now.”
And then Namgoong-hyeok’s sword, which was imbued with starlight, moved as if it were bent.
Chae Ae-Aeng!
Even though it was a skill that could be said to be a higher compatibility of sword flame, it couldn’t break my sword flame right away.
Whether the skill itself was originally like that or the caster was the problem…
There wasn’t much to know, but at least I knew that this was an opportunity.
‘I have to take my time and recover as much magic as possible.’
One sum, two sum, three sum…
The fierce battle where blades collided with each other did not last that long.
With Chaeng!
「The authority ‘Sword of Sangvis’ is deactivated.]
At the point when the number of columns was exceeded, the sword of Sangvis that was summoned by the Authority immediately shattered.
“die!”
Namgoong-hyeok’s sword then bent like a snake, as if not to miss the opportunity.
Awesome!
The moment when Namgoong-hyeok’s sword flashed and the cold steel texture passed over the nape of his neck.
A strange thing happened.
「The skill ‘Last Resistance’ is activated.」
「Invalidates the fatal wound inflicted on you.」
「All senses are temporarily amplified and all skills are compensated.」
「The skill cooldown for one week . Time will be granted.」
Final resistance.
A skill like a last resort acquired as an additional breakthrough reward for the 12th floor ordeal.
I, who should have obviously died because of it, returned to a normal state.
‘…I didn’t think it was possible, but I thought this was the real invalidation process.’
I realized the meaning of the sentence in the skill description that said to invalidate fatal wounds.
Without any exaggeration, the situation that really fatally wounded me was reversed.
As if rewinding time.
“What…!?”
Was a skill like Last Stand unpredictable to him?
Namgoong-hyeok panicked and quickly tried to swing his sword again, but…
This crazy skill did not merely have the effect of returning the victim to a non-fatal state.
「The skill ‘Frenzy Swordplay’ fixes the attack speed to the maximum due to the correction of the skill use effect.」
My sword attack, which was corrected for all skill use effects, was three to four times faster.
The sword, into which all the mana he had recovered for this occasion was poured into, swung with a burst of red thunderbolts.
Chow!
Then, the moment when the eerie sensation of cutting through the skin spreads through the whole body along the tips of the fingers.
「Congratulations, you have broken through the 14th floor of the Tower of Trials.」 「
As a breakthrough reward, ‘Wind Spirit Boots (A+)’ will be transferred to your inventory.」 「
You have acquired ‘10000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「As a breakthrough reward, You have acquired ‘4000 SP’.」
「You have won against an unexpectedly powerful challenger and the additional breakthrough reward has been strengthened.」 「
You have acquired ‘4000 SP’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」
「Breaking Sword (A+) as an additional breakthrough reward. )’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「Go to the waiting room.」
Messages announcing the end of the 14th floor ordeal came to mind.
