217. Usurper (5)
Kwajijijik…!
Everywhere in the space of the divine realm < Seize > began to collapse.
Like cracked glass, scratches continued in the sacred realm with a crackling sound.
very quickly too.
It was worth it.
In fact, this Star Light is a Dragon God skill obtained on the 14th floor stage.
Seong-gwang is by far the best out of the external attack methods I have.
It even contained a lot of divine power reinforced by the myth < The Last Savior >, so it wouldn’t be strange if the entire divine realm collapsed.
But doesn’t the usurper think so?
[I can’t believe I have this ability. ]
The usurper was so embarrassed that it was incomparable to before.
Of course, his face was dry, as if he had no emotion at all, but…
I was sure.
That the current usurper did not have enough time to put emotion on his face.
I laughed at him.
‘I don’t have a proper mind, so I can’t even act out my emotions when the situation is urgent.’
For the usurper, the mind did not play a big role.
This was the information I found out through the battle with him and the will inherent in the divinity.
So far, the usurper has deliberately formed facial expressions and behaved as if they were feeling emotions through them.
I don’t know why he’s acting like he’s got the right feelings.
At least the icy face of the usurper was proof that the situation was very unfavorable to him.
In fact, as if he couldn’t let the sacred realm collapse like this, he immediately spread both hands and showed his abilities.
Geug-!
In the blink of an eye, the incontinence of space that stretches across the sacred realm quickly disappears.
It was only for a moment that he thought that perhaps the ability to restore it was superior as it was the domain he had created.
I narrowed my eyes at the phenomenon that happened a moment later.
It was worth it.
In the process of restoring the divine realm, mechanical parts that had been floating in the air suddenly moved.
And in the movement of these mechanical parts, I felt a wave of extraordinary power.
That too…
「The divine realm < Usurpation > is quickly restored by the < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >, the
myth of the god of usurpation. ”
I never thought I would really use Shinhwa.
It was expected, but it wasn’t a very good feeling nonetheless.
The fact that the usurper used Shinhwa means that he still has many tiles left to use in battle.
‘Are you a destroyer of machine civilization…’
It is probably a myth obtained by paralyzing most of the machine civilization on the 18th floor stage.
However, the effect of the myth was not so easily inferred.
The name of the myth is < The Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >, but the ability to activate it is Restoration?
It felt incredibly different, but besides that, I received an unknown ominous feeling.
For some reason, < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization > felt like I needed to be very careful.
Of course, it’s just a pure intuition without any logical basis…
‘Even if there is no basis, the intuition reacted means that it’s not bad to be careful.’
I could trust my intuition based on sensory-type skills and effects as well as countless battle experiences.
So I decided to act as efficiently as possible.
The holy realm < Usurpation > is to be completely destroyed by activating the Holy Light once more.
This time, it was so intense that it left no form at all.
Keying-!
「The skill ‘Starlight Starlight’ is activated.」
As a result, I immediately realized the starlight made of divinity.
Just like that, I tried to explode the holy light again in this spot.
However, the light did not explode as expected.
He would be like that…
[ …It’s impossible to assume that there is an external means of attack, but I won’t lose face if I get hit like this. ]
Hung.
It is because the usurper’s eyes flashed and the holy light disappeared at the same time.
I was dumbfounded with my eyes closed, but I soon understood why the Holy Light had disappeared.
It’s nothing else…
「Due to Divinity < Activation >, the ‘Attack Nullification’ effect exclusive to the Regressor’s Worn Watch (SSS+) is forcibly activated.
」 ]
< trigger >.
The last divine power of the usurper was manifested.
Even though the condition of not being able to use the item was imposed by the divine authority < Rule >, seeing that it was used, it seems that < Activation > has the property of violating the < Rule >.
Even < Activation > did not deal with simple item activation.
「Due to the Divine < Rule >, a temporary rule is created for the exclusive effect of the Regressor’s Worn Watch (SSS+) ‘Attack Nullification’.
” The cooldown of ‘Attack Nullification’ temporarily disappears.」
「 Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s skill, ‘Starlight Starlight’, is forcibly removed by the exclusive effect ‘Attack Nullification’ whenever it is activated.」
The cooldown of the effect ‘Attack Nullification’ has been removed by < Rules >.
That wasn’t all.
Now, the old wrist watch of the regressor was forced to erase the starlight by activating an attack nullification whenever the starlight skill was activated.
Seeing this, Dam Chun-wu muttered as if it were absurd.
―…< Rule > and < Activation >? What kind of crazy divinity is this?
It was worth it.
< Rule > and < Activation > actually form a battle that is advantageous to the usurper.
When I saw it with the right to read information, I was curious about what the divine < trigger > was…. I
was dumbfounded when I found out the contents.
‘It’s a holy power that can forcibly activate an item owned by someone else.’
no.
Maybe not.
Perhaps the Divine Authority < Activate > is not an item, but it can forcefully activate even a specific ability.
When I thought about it, things didn’t feel good.
But…
[Still, I’ve used up all of my Divine Power hand. ]
Although slow, this also meant progress in the battle.
I closed my eyes at him and soon activated another skill.
A counter-type skill that was not often sought after acquiring the holy light.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.」
I said in a cold tone as I floated the shield of reddish magic power.
[Let’s see how far you’ve hidden your cards. ]
From now on, it was the turn to accelerate the battle.
***
「Myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is activated.」
「Applies the effect of < Causal Reversal > to challenger Han Seong-yoon.
」 .」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon gains the effect of < Divinity Ascension >」
「Each time she wins against a god, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases.
」 」
「Accordingly, special rewards are sometimes given when divinity rises.」
After activating the counterattack shield skill.
I quickly deactivated < The Last Savior > and activated < Possibility of Transcendence >.
Now, the strengthening of divine power that can be obtained through < The Last Savior > doesn’t work that much.
‘I can’t use the holy light, and most of my close combat skills are sealed, so I can’t help it.’
Even if you strengthen the divinity, it is not suitable for its use, so it is an efficient choice to activate another myth.
「I use the sacred < Observation >」
「I read and foresee the opponent’s mythology and power activation in advance.」
And even activated the divine authority of < Observation > obtained from the giant tree labyrinth.
Of course, the fact that he foresaw the activation of his opponent’s ability played a big role, so his divine power quickly decreased… But
as he experienced in the fight against the Heavenly Demon, being able to read the opponent’s attack in advance has a huge advantage, so it was worth it.
Soon after that, I looked at the usurper with my eyes narrowed.
He stared blankly at the counterattack shield and smiled anew.
[ I see. Is that the last ability? Aside from that starlight-like skill, there doesn’t seem to be any long-range attack method. ]
clap clap clap…
The usurper applauded quite slowly, as if satisfied.
[I don’t think it’s been 40 years since I’ve fought so seriously. Sungyoon Han. Really great. However, if the only thing you can use in this situation is a shield— ]
And.
[This fight is my victory. ]
next moment.
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic ability ‘Spell Amplification (C+)’.”
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic ability ‘Spell Acceleration (D)’… 」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Magic Overlap (B+)’…” 「The
god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Magic Compression (A)’… ..」
Gooooooo…!
Lines of magic spears appeared around the usurper.
The spears that were amplified, accelerated, and compressed by numerous superpowers contained tremendous power.
Maybe if I hit that attack right now with my physical ability reduced by 90%, my body would explode.
His voice became even clearer, as if the usurper was well aware of that.
[I look forward to how long you can block my attack with that ability. ]
Then, spears of magical power compressed to the limit were fired.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
In response, I activated Concentration on Combat and accelerated the accident.
With the current physical ability, it is difficult to react at the moment because the cognitive ability is infinitely lowered.
So I had to borrow the power of combat concentration to raise my cognitive ability…
Actually, even this wasn’t that easy.
It was worth it.
‘…I’m not in good physical shape, so even if I use a lot of concentration on combat, my body is broken.’
Even if you increase your concentration to the limit of your combat focus skill, you do not have the physical ability to handle it, so abuse of your combat focus will lead to self-destruction.
But no worries.
I’m going to absorb all attacks into my counterattack shield while setting the thought acceleration ability of Battle Focus to a minimum.
actually-
Kwagwagwagwagwang—!
All the solid lines of condensed mana fired swiftly were annihilated by the extended counterattack shield.
It was the result of the shape transformation function and shock absorption function.
Of course, the usurper’s attack didn’t stop, but it didn’t matter.
That’s also the case…
「Charged.」
「The skill ‘Counter Shield’ is in a state where it can reflect the accumulated damage.]
Originally, Counter Strike Shield is a counter-type skill.
The more the shock piles up, the better it is, so there’s no reason to worry about a lot of attacks.
Before obtaining the holy light, I could tell because he often used a lightsaber as a counterattack shield.
A counterattack shield that absorbed shock to this extent could show the best performance.
[What else is that…]
Now, the usurper also seemed to sense the abnormality after seeing the light flowing from the counterattack shield.
[ What is shock absorption and reversal? ]
He opened his eyes wide and, as if realizing the situation, immediately built up a layer of protective film all over his body.
It’s also very colorful.
Not even that.
Soon, as if he was concerned about the collapse of the entire sacred realm, he activated his repair ability as before.
「The divine realm < Usurpation > prepares for restoration by the myth of the god of usurpation < Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization >. But… “The
exclusive
effect < Cause and Reversal > of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is strongly activated.”
“Due to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, some of the myths of the god of usurpation are converted to a state of being unusable.” An
unexpected situation occurred.
< causal reversal >.
The effect of the explanation that it creates a ‘causal rate that must win’ is activated.
I opened my eyes wide at the effect I hadn’t expected, and then I heard the usurper’s bewilderment.
[What….]
Watching his face harden like ice again, I activated my divine power.
「Using Divine < Death >」
「Challenger Seongyoon Han’s activated skill is imbued with the power of Divine < Death >.」
Shiiyi!
At the same time, black energy rose from the counterattack shield, revealing the power of the divine < Death >.
[If there are no more hidden numbers, I must die. ]
At that, I smiled thickly and released the shock accumulated in the counterattack shield.
***
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
All the shocks accumulated so far were reflected, and the sacred realm < Usurpation > was greatly damaged.
It’s a pity that it didn’t completely collapse to the point where the divine authority < Rules > could be lifted.
The condition of the sacred realm was so serious that some of the broken spaces could be seen connected to the outside.
However, the usurper was not seriously injured.
Except for the fact that the divine energy flowing from his body has weakened considerably.
[The Hound from the Tower dares to invade my territory…]
Is it because the blow containing the divine < Death > was threatening?
A faint rage flashed in the usurper’s eyes.
It was only for a moment that I was surprised by the biggest emotional change I’ve ever seen.
[I’ll finish it. ]
Light of different colors flowed from the body of the usurper, and numerous system messages came to mind.
Coo-gu-gu-!!
「Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, uses the psychic power, ‘Emotion Conversion (SS).」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan,’ uses the psychic power, ‘Absolute Accuracy (S+)’…. 」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Technical perfection increase (A)’…” 「The
god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Attack power square (S)’ ….」
[You have too many abilities. ]
I put aside the endless system messages.
Looking at the black wind rising from the usurper’s hand, I was convinced.
That’s the best power the current usurper can use.
Since even the myth was sealed by < Possibility of Transcendence >, the usurper probably doesn’t have more power than this.
Then hope is enough.
‘I can win if I hold on to the final resistance and evade well until the sacred area collapses.’
The divine authority < Discipline > relies heavily on the divine realm < Usurpation >.
In short, if the sacred realm is broken, the sealed skills can be used again.
Therefore, if you hold on to the special move with the last resistance skill and wait for the sacred realm to collapse, the chance of victory increases.
After setting up a battle strategy, I raised the tension.
By the way…
“The exclusive effect < causal reversal > of the myth < Possibility of Transcendence > is strongly activated.”
[…? ]
A strange thing happened.
“Due to the myth < Possibility of Transcendence >, the divinity < Reverse Heaven > is forcibly used.”
< Cause and Reversal >, an effect attached to < Possibility of Transcendence >, was activated again, and the divine < Reverse Heaven > was used.
「The divine < Reversal > completely resists the divine < Rule > and the divine < Activation >.”
That too in a form that completely resists the divine < Rules > and < Activation >.
Even the need to endure once with the last resistance skill was gone.
However, the usurper hadn’t noticed that yet, so he maintained his rage and wielded his power.
[ die. ]
Kwagwagwagwagwa…!!
In the blink of an eye, the usurper’s hand swung and a black wind raged through the realm.
It made me laugh when I saw that it had enough power to destroy even the realm it had created.
It was probably intended to destroy me even by destroying the sacred realm.
But now there was no need to suffer.
Whoa!
Immediately, the two swords in his hands were wrapped in sword steel, and then he activated numerous skills to increase his power.
There was no worry about power consumption.
Because of the punishment skill, I am currently in a state where no matter what I do, my magic power is not consumed.
At that, the usurper’s pupils shook violently.
[What else is this…!]
But.
「The authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is applied to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes holy power to immediately move to the desired point within the field of view.」
Before his mouth could even open, I immediately The cooldown just activated Money Shunbo.
「The special power ‘Eye of the Four Gods’ is activated.」
「Specifies a target and creates a compulsory weakness.」
After using the forced weakness creation technology obtained while obtaining Divine < Death >.
As it was, he stabbed his sword into the black dot in the usurper’s heart.
Wow…!
and.
「Congratulations, you have broken through the 18th floor of the Tower of Trials.」 「
As a breakthrough reward, ‘Usher’s Leather Gloves (SS-)’ will be sent to your inventory.」 「
You have acquired ‘150000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「Breaking reward You acquired ‘10000 SP’.」
「Acquired the skill ‘Shock Reversal (B+)’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」 「
As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Superior Combat Cyberware (A-)’ will be sent to your inventory. 」
「Go to the waiting room.」
The trial on the 18th floor is over.
