A chilly atmosphere surrounds the area.

The calm before the storm.

A situation where both sides’ montum is about to explode and collide.

Normally, I might have waited longer here too.

Generally, unless it’s an ambush, defense is more efficient than offense.

But now, there was no ti for that.

The buff tis for [Dragon Transformation] and [Berserk] were almost over, and the newly applied buffs [Divine Blessing] and [Holy rcy] didn’t have long durations either.

10 minutes.

I had to take him down in just 10 minutes.

“Hup…!!”

So I raised my sword and charged faster than usual.

Hwang Seong-yeon also raised his sword as if to et my reckless movent.

Clang-!

Kakakang-!!

Sparks fly.

The swords clash with a bursting sound, and dark magic and holy power strengthen their montum as if to devour each other.

If these were ordinary weapons, they would have shattered long ago in this trendous wave of magic.

Because we’re both pouring all the power we can muster into the battle.

But the magic sword [Dine Slaif] and the divine sword [Kelbilid’s True Repentance].

These two ‘Myth-grade items’ shone on the battlefield, boasting durability that seed as if it would never wear down.

Their montum was beyond imagination, each containing the power of ‘gods’ with different natures.

[The ‘Silver MoonShadow’ engraved on your body is continuously shining! The holy sword ‘Kelbilid’s True Repentance’ shows much more powerful performance.]

And that’s not all.

The [Silver MoonShadow] I had acquired earlier through Do Seung-min.

Thanks to this auxiliary rune that maximizes the performance of holy-type items, I could make much more intense attacks than the original power of the divine sword.

Although it’s not a rune optimized for a specific item (magic sword) like Hwang Seong-yeon’s [Hero Slayer], it matched quite well with the divine sword just by increasing divine sensitivity.

Moreover, the effect of [Silver MoonShadow] becos stronger the higher the recovery value, and the performance of the divine sword also increases in proportion to the recovery value.

Currently, my recovery value has increased to almost 180 with all kinds of buffs and the effect of [Holy rcy].

This was by no ans inferior to Hwang Seong-yeon’s [Hero Slayer] and magic sword.

Pat- Pabat-!!

Clang- Clang-

Kakaka-!!

Our swords keep clashing and blocking each other.

Slash, slash, thrust, slash again.

Turn and thrust, slash, thrust behind.

I mixed countless variations into the attacks using [Brave Eternal Wave], but the S-grade Holder wielding the magic sword blocked them rather lightly.

I also tried using skills like [Change Strikes] or [Poison Claw] in between, but to little effect.

In a fight with an S-grade Holder, focusing on rune utilization and handling magic or holy power was more effective than using ordinary skills.

“Fight while being possessed.”

And in the midst of such an intense battle.

Suddenly, Hwang Seong-yeon’s low command was heard.

‘…Ultimate skill!’

I take a defensive stance as soon as I hear that voice.

It’s an ultimate skill.

And in a form of command I’ve never heard before.

His well-known original ultimate skill is [Master of Blood].

It’s the ultimate skill of the [Hero Slayer] rune that maximizes the power of the magic sword [Dine Slaif] and enhances special abilities like ‘super regeneration’.

And that command was clearly ‘Swallow the blood’.

In other words, this skill was another ultimate skill that Hwang Seong-yeon possessed.

Sut- Susu-.

Kiiiii-!!

The possession happened in an instant.

The black magic that was spewing from his feet and magic sword seed to penetrate into the ground little by little, and then flew towards at trendous speed, dividing.

The bizarre form of the divided magic was uniquely shaped like weapons.

Weapons made of magic.

Swords, spears, axes, hamrs, arrows, maces….

An uncountable number of weapons were approaching , wearing masks of black magic from everywhere.

“Crazy… Flow like rapids!”

At this rate, I’d be helplessly overwheld by those attacks.

I hurriedly drew up my magic and countered with an ultimate skill.

[True Flowing Sword].

My body and sword moving as if dancing.

And the stream of water gushing from its end.

It protected by trapping in a huge sphere created by water.

Chwaralak-.

Sut, sususu-!!

The black weapons lose their power as they hit the water sphere.

Although it’s a skill without holy power, it boasted quite elastic defense due to the large amount of magic.

“It’s a skill I’ve never seen before.”

“Sa here.”

Co to think of it, I had never shown the evolved [True Flowing Sword] in front of Hwang Seong-yeon.

I answered flatly to his exclamation and quickly resud my battle stance.

‘This is my chance.’

Even a high-ranking Holder with vast magic naturally gets tired after using an ultimate skill.

It requires so recovery ti along with a slight state of exhaustion.

That’s true for both Hwang Seong-yeon and .

We inevitably fall into a lull, keeping so distance from each other.

But this lull…

For , who has more ability to design battles, it was rather an opportunity.

“Power Break.”

The first design.

Change the terrain.

The surroundings split with a roar that shakes the ground.

[Power Break] of [Elental Master].

It was a skill that shakes and splits the earth, completely overturning the existing form of the land.

And.

‘Rush teor.’

I add a fire-attribute magic attack on top of this.

[Rush teor], another derivative skill of [Elental Master].

An attack that drops multiple large fire pits at chosen points.

It’s a skill I haven’t used often, but it’s quite effective in the current situation.

Because.

“Hiding, huh. The pattern is obvious, Do Jae-hyun.”

My plan right now…

Was to hide my body within that flashy attack.

Although I used an attack skill, like [Power Break], its true purpose was to create unusual terrain to conceal myself.

The greatly altered landscape and my vanished figure.

Hwang Seong-yeon mutters with a bored expression.

Perhaps for soone of his skill level, this kind of stealth attack might have no effect.

But even so, I had to try.

An opponent against whom I need to use everything I have to have a chance of winning.

That’s Hwang Seong-yeon.

‘Hide Attack.’

I utilize [Stealth] along with its derived skill [Hide Attack].

Against Hwang Seong-yeon, [Stealth] would be detected in less than a second anyway.

If that’s the case, it’s best to follow up with an attack right before being detected.

Through the split earth and burning flas.

I approached behind Hwang Seong-yeon.

Clang-!!

But Hwang Seong-yeon imdiately turns around, eting my sword.

In that short ti, he had detected and understood my movents.

As his confident tone suggested, my attack was easily blocked.

‘It’s okay.’

However, I felt that I had achieved my intended goal.

The preparation ti needed after both using ultimate skills.

I used that ti to relentlessly push Hwang Seong-yeon, and in the process, he ended up focusing on defense.

That’s right.

The important thing was that he ended up focusing on ‘defense’.

‘Instead, an opening has appeared.’

The demon sword [Dine Slaif] and Hwang Seong-yeon’s abilities are focused solely on attack and slaughter.

Sotis he shows ridiculous abilities like ‘super regeneration’, but the basic frawork of his power is concentrated on extre offense.

Therefore, the mont he defends.

Conversely, an opening is created.

Power focused on attack shines brightest in attack.

“Lightning of Judgnt…!!”

A slight opening visible on Hwang Seong-yeon’s right shoulder.

A part of the body where magic hasn’t been gathered yet.

Aiming for that gap, I used the holy-type skill I had been saving until the end.

[Lightning of Judgnt].

An inherent skill contained in the legendary item [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath] I bought at the auction house, it’s an attack skill that delivers a powerful blow of pure holy power to the opponent.

Along with [Divine Slash], it was one of only two holy-type attack skills I possessed.

“…!”

This is the first ti.

For the first ti since the battle began, a surprised expression appeared on Hwang Seong-yeon’s face.

The amount of holy power breaking through the gap…

He instinctively realized it was not at all insignificant.

[Lightning of Judgnt] is similar to [Primordial Furious Attack] in terms of physical attacks.

Literally, it’s an attack-type skill that gathers and concentrates holy power to its utmost and pours it onto the opponent, so it exerts very strong power against those who handle dark attributes or evil-aligned divine powers.

From the start, when I bought the item at the auction house, I had chosen it imagining only this mont.

‘It worked.’

At that mont, I felt that the plan I had drawn in my mind had co halfway.

A montary gap shown by the enemy.

Expanding that gap further to make it a weakness.

That was the core of this plan.

Then from now on, I’ll continuously exploit the gap that has beco a weakness.

And.

‘Ripley. Can you hear by any chance?’

-Huh?

A surprised voice is transmitted.

I guess she didn’t expect to suddenly call her in the middle of this fierce battle.

My fourth contractor and first contractor as a necromancer.

The vampire, Countess Ripley, had not been unsummoned since the battle began.

Of course, I never forgot this fact.

‘I need your power.’

-My power?

‘Yes.’

Actually, I had already confird Ripley’s abilities while coming to the final area of the maze.

Befitting a vampire with the title of countess, her abilities seed flashy and quite powerful.

But after much deliberation, I decided not to use them in this battle.

The first reason was that I had never coordinated with her before, so I didn’t know what variables might occur during the battle.

The second was that I judged my own power to be more suitable for dealing with Hwang Seong-yeon than hers.

It seed right to use Ripley’s power after I beca a bit more familiar with it.

‘But that doesn’t an there’s no use for it.’

If I wasn’t going to use it at all, I would have unsummoned her from the start.

It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with Ripley’s abilities…

It’s not that I’m unfamiliar with the vast ‘magic’ she possesses.

I took out the [Fusion Order] item and said to her.

‘Sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance.’

-Tell what?

‘I’m going to borrow your magic.’

-Huh? What? W-wait. Do Jae-hyun, wait. Hey! Wait!

I quickly utilize the [Magic Share] rune.

This sub-rune within [Law of Contract] is a rune that allows contractors to borrow up to 30% of each other’s magic.

Originally, Ripley, who just contracted and has low loyalty, could have refused, but [Fusion Order], which shows cheat-level performance related to contracts, deleted such interdiate processes.

Thanks to this, the internal magic that had been depleted after using large-scale skills and ultimate skills in succession was instantly replenished.

This was the reason I had left Ripley from the start of the battle.

‘Nice refueling.’

Magic is filling up my entire body.

Now I had to move on to the second plan.
