_ Volume 18 Episode 12
437. The gray woman on the 85th floor. Sosiet Gardenia (5)
“As a contract with Sosiet, I will help you. An apostle of Aheeli.”
[Dersha changed the owner of the puppet.]
Bardray temporarily gained control of Society, which became the possession of Thersha.
“It belongs to me. I won’t stand still if you give me even a small wound.”
“I can’t be certain. We will try.”
“Huh”
O.
Thersha snorted and left Sosiet.
“Then let’s try again.”
“As convenient as possible.”
‘I can’t use forced duels.’
It’s like puppetry. Forced duel cannot inflict damage except for the designated target. However, the dolls or possessions handled by the subject could be attacked without any problems.
“Society.”
Bardray spoke briefly. So Siet, who has no willpower to follow orders, draws a line in the air according to Bardray’s will.
blah blah
The void splits. A space in which black and red colors are wildly mixed appears.
I couldn’t feel anything in it. It seemed as if paint had been added to the space.
But Tae-san knew.
that’s death It was itself.
Death rushes to Taesan. Mount Tai wildly lifted up the divinity and spread it in all directions.
The divinity that collided with the dark red space burst into a roar and broke into each other.
And Bard Ray also didn’t stay still. Bardray, who had saved his strength, grabbed the sword with both hands.
[Bard Ray activated Divine Sword Combination.]
Bard Ray leaps.
Its movement was incomparable to that of the moment before. Taesan was at a level where he could be pushed back in an instant if he did not respond properly.
Kagagak!
Taesan blocked Bard Ray’s attack. I evaded the onslaught of the sword and fired the skill.
[You have activated Shedding.]
Labyrinth’s skill that sheds the opponent’s sword when they collide. Bard Ray also knew the effect because he had dealt with it once.
However, Bard Ray did not repel the sword attack.
Rather, he swung more strongly toward Taesan.
There was no reason to care about the opponent’s attack the moment Shedding was activated. It’s a matter of counterattacking after shedding the sword.
Taesan stabbed his sword at Bardray.
The moment the swords were about to touch each other, the shedding was triggered and the trajectory of Bard Ray’s sword was twisted.
At that moment, Bard Ray’s wrist moved.
The wrist that moved very gently corrected the trajectory of the forcibly twisted sword
. There was no delay in the process. It was a swordsmanship close to divine.
Kaaaang!
Sword and sword collided.
Taesan first widened his distance. He raised his sword towards Bard Ray, who was immediately rushing at him.
[You have activated Assault.]
[You have activated Acceleration.]
The sword strikes down.
Even if Bardray became an apostle of Aheeli, his stats were overwhelming. In addition, he used strong attack and acceleration
. Bard Ray could not respond.
But Bard Ray did not back down.
He moved his sword towards the sword that was being taken down.
Kaaaang!
The moment Bardray’s sword touched Taesan’s sword began to be pressed by the overwhelming difference in power, Bardray’s wrist moved again.
Kagagak.
The sword, which moved very gently like a living creature,
shed the power of the mountain.
The overwhelming difference in power and speed was met with only one technique.
“Tzu”
Taesan clicked his tongue and opened the distance again.
It was an impossible skill based on the concept of simply handling the sword well.
The opponent became an apostle of the sword god. Like the other apostles, he was able to handle some of the divine powers.
That was a movement that surpassed human ability that Bard Ray was handling right now.
Bard Ray dug into Taesan.
The sword was as sharp as a wolf.
It was Storm Scar’s first wolf tooth.
Kagagakak!
[You activated the hurricane run.]
Taesan swung his sword roughly. He responded to Bardray’s attack with movements like a storm.
Simply superiority in strength and speed is not enough. He needed something different.
[You activated a counter.]
A skill that automatically counterattacks in response to the opponent’s attack. counter.
Even an attack that the user could not block could be blocked.
Kagagak!
Taesan’s body moves. Avoid Bard Ray’s attack and burrow into it. stab the sword
And at that moment, the movement of Bard Ray’s sword changed.
His sword began to ride on Taishan’s sword like a snake.
second sword. dancer’s dance.
It itself was able to respond sufficiently as a counter.
But that’s only a story when dealing with a dancer’s dance.
Bard Ray pressed Taesan as wildly as a wolf and dug in like a snake.
In Bard Ray’s hand, the wolf’s teeth and the dancer’s dance were revealing at the same time. Counters that could counterattack automatically started not responding properly.
Kagagak!
Taishan was forced to retreat.
[…Can the storm-scarred sword be used that way?]
The ghost couldn’t hide its surprise. Now, Bardray’s swordsmanship reached a level that even he, who created the storm-scarred sword, could not have imagined.
sword god. As he became an apostle of Ehili, his swordsmanship itself reached a higher level.
Kagagagak!
Eventually, Taesan was pushed back again.
Stats are overwhelming. Ability
Sword is a higher level of swordsmanship than Stormscar’s Sword.
Even so, Taesan was being pushed back by Bardray without doing anything.
‘Is this the apostle of the sword god?’
A god who controls the sword itself. powers of his apostles.
You can’t win with a sword. If so, respond with another ability.
[You activated the frozen world [Negative].]
The magic mixed with black is activated.
Cold air rushed towards Bard Ray.
Bard Ray, who had been pressing hard, swung his sword with a stiff face.
Negative magic is a power that has an advantage over all opponents.
Just as the immortal Wirad’s power was offset, Bard Ray couldn’t easily break through the negative magic. Bard Ray focused on blocking negative magic.
And Taesan did not miss that opportunity. He
rushed in and
stabbed Bard Ray in the back. It was a perfect gap that could not be blocked unless a skill was activated.
It was the moment Taesan thought the attack was successful.
Bard Ray’s body moved instantly.
While blocking the negative magic that came towards him, he turned around and swung his sword at Taesan.
Movement as if the physically impossible space was refracted and the time axis compressed.
Kagagak!
In the end, Taishan did no damage
. Taesan frowned.
“It’s not just about handling one sword well.”
Bard Ray shouted as he moved forward.
“Society!”
At the same time, dark red death rages.
What dwells within Sosiet is the authority of Thersha. power to deal with death.
Taishan swung his divinity and pushed death away. Societe’s corpse swings her arm. The space splits open and numerous corpses reappear. They
all rush towards Taesan.
The level was different from the corpses he had dealt with for the first time.
Perhaps because of the Power of Thersha, the movements of the corpses were very natural, as if they had a will. With the intent to kill, he aimed at Mount Taesan.
[You have activated a mana storm [Unclean].]
Kagagak!
A black storm shakes the labyrinth.
The corpses were blown away by the storm, but some of them survived and ran toward Mount Tai.
‘It’s tricky.’
In a state where you can’t gain an advantage with swordsmanship, powers such as magic or black magic are blocked by Sosiet.
I even thought about summoning Minerva, but it’s a battle for those who have surpassed mortality. She is of no help.
Taesan moved his body with sunken eyes.
* * *
Kwaaaang!
Sword and sword collide.
Death happens and black magic and divinity push it away.
Taishan did not stop.
Blocked all of Bard Ray and So Siet’s attacks and counterattacked. Bar Dray, who had been pushed back, frowned.
‘I’m not tired.’
While Taesan’s face was not sweaty, Bad Ray himself was slightly out of breath. The difference
in basic fitness was much larger than expected.
‘…And how many alternative skills do you have?’
With So Siet’s help, Bard Ray continued to aim for gaps in Mount Taesan.
However, Taesan continued to bring out new skills to offset the gap.
Covering yourself in darkness, drawing out the power of destruction, or erasing Bard Ray’s attack itself.
No matter how much pressure and gaps were created, he shook them off with new cards each time.
And Taesan was getting used to the movements of Bard Ray and So Siet. As time passed, it became more difficult to expose gaps.
Honestly, it was a gap that would have been lost without Societ.
Bardray frowned and put down his sword.
“What are you doing?”
There was a ghost in that gaze.
“I know that I cannot defeat you on my own. So let me ask you. dead me Why are you still?”
Bardray looked at the ghost.
“If he dies, I will be resurrected. Everyone can go down the labyrinth. If it were me, I could clear the labyrinth.”
It wasn’t just conceit.
Taesan judged that Bardray’s talent and skills were enough to clear the labyrinth.
“You must have been with him for a long time. You probably know all about his weaknesses and the cards he has. tell me right now Then I will defeat him and fulfill our wishes.”
[That’s impossible,]
said the ghost calmly.
[You can’t make your wish come true even if you clear it.]
“You’re lying.”
Bard Ray denied it with a single knife.
“If you clear the labyrinth, your wish will come true. I obtained that information and entered the labyrinth.”
[Clearing and attacking are different. No matter how hard you try, you are impossible to attack.]
“I don’t believe what you say.”
Bardray said sharply.
“Even if what you say is the truth, how would that be?”
Bard Ray beat his chest roughly.
“I came in here to save everyone! Even if it’s close to impossible, it doesn’t matter! I won’t give up! If I can’t fulfill my wish, I’ll find another way or turn back time to save my world!”
It’s a declaration close to madness.
It was the cry of a man who never gave up on his hopes.
[You are… really different from me.]
The ghost said quietly.
He was like that at one time too. He could even lay down his life for his wish. Taesan would have betrayed him with ease.
However, the ghost experienced and watched many things with Taesan. My young mind grew and came to accept reality.
As a result, he accepted his failure.
[I’m not saying you’re wrong.
But I’m not you anymore Your words do not reach me.]
“…you!”
Bard Ray’s face distorted at the ghost that had finished cleaning up.
Taesan straightened the sword.
Power of Axirea and Ehili Deresha.
It was not easy to deal with Taesan as it was the power of a god who handled the law itself.
So I focused on defense and evasion rather than attack.
As a result, Taesan was able to grasp the overall power of Bardray and Sosiet.
‘The fact that he doesn’t bring out any special ability even after coming here means that he’s shown everything so far.’
So now it’s over
[You activated Baal’s Jet-Dark Space Surge.]
Damn it!
The space dyed black turns into waves and rushes in. Bard Ray shouted harshly.
“Society!”
A dark red death occurs and collides with Space Rush.
Neither side is pushed out, and they oppose each other tightly.
Taesan added strength to it.
[You have activated Great Collapse [Unholy].]
Damn it!
Right now, Taesan was using negative magic with twisted spirituality coordination without partial world changes.
And Taesan
disintegrated the completed magic of denial at once using the twisted spiritual tuning.
[You activated the magic explosion.]
[You activated the Aegis shield.]
The sphere of darkness exploded and shook all directions. Death twists and pierces.
Exposed to the aftermath, Bardray chose to evade instead of defend. The power contained in the Great Collapse was so great that it was impossible to stop it without taking damage, so it was a wise decision.
However, thanks to that,
the distance between So Siet and Bad Ray increases.
Taesan held the air.
[You activated the sword of the world.]
Koo Goo!
A huge sword is in Taesan’s hand.
It contains the world itself.
Taesan puts the black color as it is and swings it towards Bardray.
Bard Ray hurriedly blocked it.
Kagagakak!
“Aww!”
Taesan, who blew Bard Ray away, immediately flew towards So Siet.
Sosiet tried to call the corpses, but Taesan was faster than he was. Bard Ray was so focused on blocking the sword of the world that he couldn’t quickly give orders.
Fu-wook!
Taishan’s sword pierces So Siet.
The power of Thersha that dwells within Societ sways.
[How dare you hurt mine.]
A voice filled with anger resounds.
It was Thersha’s voice.
[You didn’t think it would be safe to touch the property of a transcendental person, right?]
At the same time, So Siet’s eyes widened.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A scream breaks out. The power of Thersha that dwelled inside her explodes and swallows the mountain.
It is the law of death.
[You activated Fall of All Things.]
[You activated Law Negation.]
[You activated Select Exclusion.]
Taishan also resists with the power of the transcendent.
But what swallowed Taesan was the law itself called death.
No matter how much you fall and deny it, you cannot escape. Death tried to leave an indelible scar on Taesan’s soul and body.
[Resist with a proud gray color
.]
Tersha mocked. Taesan’s boundaries could basically only be handled with a sword. It was impossible to protect the whole body.
However, Taesan spread black all over his body without any change in emotion.
Taesan’s mastery of black has reached 20%.
As a result, Taesan was able to handle black a little more reliably.
Mix divinity with black.
The boundary line thus created
surrounds the entire body of Mount Tai.
It was different from the extremely unstable boundary repulsion. The boundary line wrapped around Taishan’s body without a single gap.
The laws and concepts of the world begin to reach Taesan.
Death moves away from Taesan.
[…You bastard!]
A voice full of bewilderment rang out. Taishan exploded the border around the body. So Siet’s body collapsed in an instant.
Level up with skill
