– Volume 7, Chapter 6
156. Secret Relics Remains of Forgotten Gods (4)
[Ooh oh oh!]
The gray monster howls. That alone shakes the room uneasy. Taesan hurriedly lowered his body.
[You have activated Hardiness.]
Howling strikes Mount Tai. Taesan’s body shakes violently.
[45 damage to you.]
“Ha.”
The mere cry inflicts physical damage.
Taesan clicked his tongue and raised his head.
The monster that filled the room had no proper shape. It was just a bunch of gray energy that was swaying.
[This crazy.]
The ghost was startled and at the same time a window appeared to inform the enemy.
[A fallen apostle has appeared.]
[Uh-oh-oh!]
The monster continued to howl.
Taesan quickly drank the recovery potion, as he seemed unwilling to attack at least for now.
“What is that?”
[Oohhh!]
I felt a terrible power from the howling monster.
However, unlike the violent power that took over the entire space, I didn’t feel any resentment at all.
[…Apostle. It’s something that only those with higher ranks
can do. But this is this…]
“I said it was a spirit fall.”
lower the level of the soul Even just hearing the name, it wasn’t a normal skill.
said the ghost, swallowing.
[Didn’t I tell you that apostles sacrifice their souls to gods and reach high levels? You should know it because you have met it.]
“I know enough.”
Those who rose to the position of apostle were hardly affected by the attacks of those who did not.
A state beyond the mortal wall, even a little bit. that was the apostle
[That is, he forcibly dropped his rank. It brings down a soul that has risen to a great position to the level of a mortal. And that lowered power… forcibly turns it into strength.]
[Oh! oh! Oh!]
The monster was howling incessantly.
[But this…]
“Are you going to die?”
[It’s worse than that. The soul itself
is broken. As long as the soul is intact, it is somehow possible to remain as a spiritual being like me, or to be resurrected as if Malelesten borrowed a body according to Pabsha’s will. But that… it’s just the end.]
He’s using that to kill Taesan.
[The opponent is an enemy impossible to win.]
A new judgment appears.
Rather than being in a state of dignity, now, in a state of depravity, is a stronger state.
Taesan was possessed with an empty smile.
“It varies.”
[Ohhh…]
The howling started to subside.
The monster waved its gray hand. The only passageway screamed and was blocked.
You can’t run away.
Taesan put strength into the hand holding the sword.
“How long?”
[I don’t know either. never seen it It’s in the process of collapsing, so I wouldn’t be able to hold on for long…]
The situation was the worst.
Sadohwa could not be activated due to the cooldown.
Stamina and mana were restored with the potion, but the magic was all consumed. The protective film was the same.
Dealing with an enemy that was impossible to win in this state was tantamount to suicide, but Taesan laughed. It had been a very long time since I had been driven to the end like this.
Redness is heightened.
Taishan kicked off the ground and rushed at the apostle.
He had no intention of waiting patiently for his opponent to attack. Taesan galloped at the monster.
The monster moved its head slightly and swung its huge claws.
Taesan held out his sword.
[You have activated Charming.]
Charming, which bewitches everything the sword touches. The moment the sword touched the nails, the trajectory of the nails twisted.
[Ooooh!]
cried the monster.
The orbit that was about to twist was forcibly returned to its place by overwhelming force.
Taesan hurriedly twisted his arm.
Wow!
Claws hit the wall. Taesan, who narrowly avoided it, waved his arm.
[1130 damage to you.]
This kind of damage even though it
wasn’t a straight hit, it was just a little bit .
“Even being possessed tramples by force.”
It wasn’t impossible. Shedding was a skill that twisted the trajectory.
In other words, if even the twisted trajectory can be corrected by force, the attack is possible.
But until now, no one has had overwhelming stats to do that.
[Oooh!]
The monster howls and swings its claws
. Taesan moves his body.
[You activated Mental Acceleration.]
The toenails narrowly passed around Taesan.
However, the evasion was not successful.
[123 damage to you.]
Damage was accumulating in the aftermath of the attack.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
We cannot wait for a collapse that may happen at any moment. There was a high possibility that Taesan would die before that.
Taesan made a decision. to try an attack.
Taesan galloped.
[You activated Acceleration.]
The monster faced Mount Tai with its claws. The claws that filled the entire room crashed into Taesan with a harsh sound.
Kwajik.
Taesan kicked the ground.
I jumped into the air and dodged the claws.
[Oooh!]
The monster pulled its arm. Nails flew from
Taesan’s back.
Taesan kicked in the air again.
[You activated a leap in the air.]
The airborne body avoids the claws.
The monster raised its head. The gray energy turned into a blade and crashed into Taesan.
[You activate landing.]
The body is forced to land on the ground. A gray blade hits the wall.
However, there was still quite a distance to the monster.
‘This far.’
Taesan eventually backed away.
[Oohhh!]
The monster swings its claws again.
The moment his nails were about to touch, Taesan activated his skill.
[You activated a random Blink.]
Taesan’s body moved to the position it was in before stepping back.
After getting as close as possible, brand the spot. Then, widen the distance, wait for the monster’s attack, and
activate Blink.
The plan worked.
Taesan thrust his sword into the open monster.
[102 damage to the fallen apostle.]
Taesan’s eyes were confused.
Although the apostleization is over, the monster has also lost the status of an apostle due to a spirit crash. The damage itself could not be prevented.
However, it was this damage even though I used all the attack power increase skills such as aura plus acceleration attack.
It meant that the monster’s defense power itself was ridiculously high.
[Ooh!]
The monster moves wildly. That alone was a disaster for the nearby Mount Tai.
He swung his sword wildly and widened the distance. However, he could not completely avoid the whipped nails.
Whoops!
“Keep haha!”
Taesan hit the hand and hit the wall of the labyrinth.
[3012 damage to you.]
[What is this…]
The ghost was shocked. Taesan gritted his teeth, regained his stance, and avoided the ensuing attack.
The monster was driving without even having time to use the potion.
Taesan focused his mind.
Taesan avoided the attack as much as possible and seized the opportunity to counterattack.
But the situation was hopeless.
Even if the attack was avoided, the damage was accumulated only in the aftermath, and even if the attack was successful, it could not cause much damage to the monster.
The ghost watched it anxiously.
’ This…
No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t find any other answer. The monster
was slowly disintegrating, but compared to Taesan’s stamina consumption, it was extremely slow.
The ghost gave up and started looking for a way to save Taesan’s soul.
However, Taesan did not give up.
I’ve been through dozens of desperate situations.
Before clearing the labyrinth, there was a time when I faced a B-class alone.
He won even when everyone said victory was impossible.
Even when he faced two S-classes at the end,
it was impossible to win, but he did not give up and won once again.
He came here after overcoming all kinds of despair and irrationality.
If I had to give up to this extent, I wouldn’t have come this far in the first place.
‘I have to be more calm like this.’
Taesan knew from his experience. If you panic in this situation, that moment is over.
Taesan calmed his heart. I calmed my agitated head and
began to focus on each one.
First of all, information about the opponent.
‘Swordsmanship doesn’t work.’
Even possessed is an opponent who oppresses by force. Of course counters and continuous attacks do not work.
‘There is no nullification of attacks.’
But there is endurance. Only one attack can be sustained.
‘The damage… is shabby.’
It’s not bad.
It meant that once the damage was done, it could be killed. Just like he did against
S-class in his previous life .
Organize them one by one and make your way to victory.
‘Then first.’
what to do first
The thought did not last long. Taesan twisted his body to avoid the swinging nails.
Wow!
[105 damage to you.]
Even though you avoided it perfectly, you were receiving damage from the aftermath.
‘Perfect evasion.’
I don’t know how strong the apostle is, but it wasn’t an opponent that could be defeated in a short period of time. In order to win a long-term battle, first of all, they had to avoid taking damage.
[Oooh!]
The monster’s arm lifted.
Taesan focuses his mind.
Look at the trajectory of the nail. Read the direction of the swing and figure out the extent of the aftermath that will occur.
Taesan kicked his feet.
Kwaaang
claws crush the earth. The aftermath reaches Taesan.
[88 damage to you.]
Damage slightly reduced.
Taishan was not satisfied. In order to win
, you had to do
a perfect dodge .
[Ooooh!]
Concentrate even more. Observe the movement of the monster and the direction of the force.
I kicked the ground when I saw my arm swinging as if sweeping the floor.
[You activated a leap in the air.]
Soar up to the ceiling. Then immediately activate Landing and land on the ground.
Wow!
Nails hit the ceiling. Brick dust falls into the rainwater.
[54 damage to you.]
[???’s mastery increased by 1%.]
[What?]
The ghost realized. That the damage inflicted is gradually decreasing.
Even while the ghost was realizing, Tae San was concentrating all his mind.
I see the movement of the swaying power.
Figure out the trajectory of the swinging nail.
And read the scope of the aftermath that explodes.
Kwaaang!
[28 damage to you.]
[Wu??’s mastery increased by 1%.] No
information such as the increase in mastery or the reduction in damage taken can’t enter Taesan’s head right now.
Just focus. to evade attacks.
Whoops!
[9 damage to you.]
[Wu??’s proficiency increased by 1%.]
The damage was reduced to single digits. The Ghost cried out impatiently.
[Okay!]
It was a loud voice, but Taesan couldn’t hear it.
He was so focused that he didn’t even notice the increase in his skill level.
But I was intuitively aware of it.
The monster’s movements
became more and more visible.
No, to be precise, I was feeling the previous thing rather than the movement.
I could feel the monster’s will.
[Ooooh!]
cried the monster.
Before the monster’s arm could move properly, Taesan kicked it first.
Wow!
The swinging arm hit Taesan in a completely different direction. This time, it was a perfect evasion that did not deliver that damage.
‘good.’
Taesan laughed lightly.
The first condition has been cleared.
Then it was time to fulfill the following conditions.
Taesan gradually reduced the interval between evasion. After slowly adjusting his movements, he finally avoided the aftermath with a single piece of paper.
Taesan, dodging the attack, plunged his sword into the monster’s arm.
[86 damage to the fallen apostle.]
[Ooh!]
The monster waved its arm. Taesan, which was identified in advance, was already out of the attack’s influence.
Wow!
Taesan continued to evade and attack repeatedly.
If you take even one wrong step, even the slightest mistake in judgment, you lose your life in a tightrope fight.
Taesan was used to it. His fights have always been like this, so he focused and moved as always.
[Uh-oh-oh!]
Contrary to the ghost’s expectations, whether it was because of the accumulated damage or because of the passage of time, the monster’s collapse was accelerating before Taesan collapsed.
And Taishan could be seen.
The jet-black aura that swayed from the monster’s head.
And I could feel it. That aura is suppressing the monster’s collapse.
I found the answer to win.
But there was a problem. How to approach the monster.
The monster also felt a sense of crisis and was swinging more violently and stronger. It seemed impossible to even approach while avoiding the attack, let alone approach.
Taesan caught his breath.
Gathering the rest of his body’s strength, he charged.
[You activated Acceleration.]
[Oohhh!]
The monster swung its arms wildly. It was twice as fast as before. It whipped through the room like a whip.
And Taesan avoided all of them.
He twisted his arms, bent over, and kicked the ground.
[Ooh!]
The monster puts both claws together and stabs it.
It was an unavoidable speed.
And there was no need to dodge.
Previously, when attacking a monster, it left a stigma at the site of the attack.
[You activated a random Blink.]
Taesan’s body
moved in front of the monster’s nose.
Taesan raised the sword, and the monster did not stand still.
[Ooh!]
A gray blade protruded from the monster’s body. Hundreds of blades aimed at Mount Tai all at once.
And Taesan avoided all of them.
As if he foresaw the future, he did not allow even the slightest wound.
The ghost held its breath and Taesan drove his sword into the monster’s core.
[Ohhh!]
The monster’s whole body trembled. Momentarily, the whole body was distorted, and the gray energy began to dissipate uneasy.
But the monster didn’t just disappear.
He stabbed Taishan’s body with his nails.
Taesan did not avoid it.
[8975 damage to you.]
[Your resistance has been activated. Attacks leading to death were nullified. All damage becomes 0 for
1 second .]
Tae-San gave strength to his feet.
The monster’s core swallowed Taishan’s sword.
[Oh oh…]
The monster hesitated. Soon, the gray light exploded and scattered in all directions.
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
