Chapter 122: Yaksha Style
[Hundred Night Yaksha]
[Body Transformation: 0.31%]
Looking down at my viciously twisting arm, I was montarily dazed by the ssage that appeared.
But now is not the ti to be idle.
THUD-!
I kicked off imdiately.
I closed the distance in an instant and felt the power rising from within my body.
There was only one thing I had to think about right now.
Beyond the opened armor of the Guardian Colossus, that point where it was gathering energy.
That spot where the hard armor had opened was its weakness.
‘Now.’
Intense heat rose from my palm.
Black flas flickered along the hand gripping the sword and up my forearm.
The flas, persistently and greedily soaring, swallowed the sword whole.
The Guardian Colossus’s gaze turned towards .
It seed to be hurrying more to gather energy as well, but.
There was no reason to hesitate. I thrust the sword just like that.
SWISH-!
Burning the air, grotesque flas were molded.
SLASH-!
A giant line was drawn as if brushing the empty air.
[Yaksha Style: Fla Annihilation Night Light]
Heavy sword energy extended in a straight line.
Black flas burning the air dug into the guy’s core.
VROOOM-!
Imdiately, a heavy noise burst out.
A vibrating sound resonated as if energy was fluctuating and resisting inside the Guardian Colossus.
But that struggle was only for a mont.
Fleeting silence settled.
FLARE-!
Hot air rose as if it would lt even my lungs.
Black flas seeped into the Guardian Colossus’s interior just like that and encroached upon it.
CRACKLE-!
Flas burst, spewing heat in all directions.
With the air twisted, sparks flew roughly.
The flas, with the montum to burn everything.
Spread violently as if to swallow even itself, covering the Guardian Colossus’s body.
“Wooooooo-!”
A resonance leaked from deep within the Guardian Colossus’s body.
A bizarre sound, partly like a scream and partly like a cry.
The flas covering its body also burned even more fiercely.
THUD-!
I spun around once and landed lightly on the ground.
Keeping my body upright, I fixed my gaze forward.
‘It definitely got stronger than last ti.’
The destructive power of Yaksha Style exceeded expectations.
This might work, I held my breath and observed the enemy’s movents.
Inside the Guardian Colossus’s chest armor.
The magic power that was gathering densely there to form a sphere was swallowed by black flas and began to burn away.
The black flas burned even more fiercely using that magic power as fuel.
It was a sight where the fla itself seed to devour magic power itself.
‘It’s working.’
The Guardian Colossus remained stopped while completely engulfed in black flas.
There is no movent at all.
If the Guardian Colossus falls like this, the door will open.
I looked at the guy and the door alternately.
There were no special changes yet.
The Guardian Colossus was burning engulfed in fierce flas, and the door was still firmly locked.
At that ti when blood-drying monts passed.
DING-!
[‘Settlent’ begins.]
It started.
Burning pain rushed in all at once as if my whole body caught fire.
“Keugh……!”
I instinctively grit my molars.
Chest, abdon, limbs.
A sensation of burning hot rushed in along my whole body.
I felt as if I had beco a candle.
A candle where my whole body was made of wicks.
Even the air flowing into my lungs was hot.
The act of inhaling itself beca pain.
My skin stung as if being seared, and my muscles convulsed and squird.
I thought my bones might lt too if I stayed like this.
The ‘Settlent’ didn’t stop there.
Because flas were rising over my body before I knew it.
‘To go so far as seeing hallucinations.’
Of course, I know it’s not real.
Since settlent pain is rely pain.
However, because of the hallucination that erged interlocking with vivid sensations, the illusion looked like truth.
Flas dug into the surface of my body, and heavy heat rushed deep into my internal organs.
As the heat reached my head, my vision shook.
‘……Endure.’
The mont I lose consciousness, it’s over.
I clenched my teeth enough to make my gums numb.
The Guardian Colossus hasn’t fallen yet.
Although its form was distorting within the black flas, the guy was still standing.
‘I’m going to last longer, than that bastard.’
Die quickly and open the door. Damn it.
A scream lingered within my clenched teeth.
However, human affairs never flow as expected.
VOOOM-
A low-pitched vibration rang from the Guardian Colossus.
It was the first reaction shown since being engulfed in flas.
The identity of the low trembling was revealed soon.
The guy was gathering energy again.
A vortex rose once again in the core revealed with the chest armor flipped open.
‘What is it trying to do?’
It was the mont a question arose.
“……Crazy.”
A dejected sigh burst out on its own quickly.
Black flas, the flas of Fla Annihilation Night Light I fed the guy were slowly being sucked into its center.
‘Absorbing the flas?’
It’s an unbelievable sight, but it was reality.
The Guardian Colossus began to condense the flas into its core.
The flas that were billowing fiercely covering the guy’s body gradually subsided.
Embers flickered here and there, but there was no ferocious montum like just before.
Black flas condensed in the guy’s core, which reminded
of a knothole in a tree, were gathered in a sphere.
CLUNK-!
Then the Guardian Colossus’s body trembled and moved.
Raising the axe slowly, the guy approached towards .
‘No way.’
That guy is fundantally made of wood.
Although it cannot be called ordinary wood, it at least has a weakness to fire attribute.
That is why I drove in Fla Annihilation Night Light.
That firepower was stronger than I expected, and I even thought this might be enough.
But that bastard.
Sucked the flas into the core just like that and absorbed them?
A sphere of flas flickered inside the core.
Moving heavy steps, the guy’s body shook.
And intermittently, flas from the core burst outward.
‘……No, it didn’t absorb it.’
The condensed flas inside the guy’s core were shaking unstably.
I could know soon. The guy was rely holding onto the flas.
A state where it just temporarily bound them to reduce damage.
The problem is, even so, there is nothing particular I can do.
As a result, the guy found a way to reduce damage.
Even if it looks difficult, it is moving its body and getting closer to
gradually.
The axe held in the guy’s hand looked more threatening than ever.
Embers scattered long and burned over the axe blade.
The guardian protecting the sanctuary began to look like a demon walking out of hellfire.
With such a guy in front, I was dying on my own due to the recoil of Yaksha Style.
CLANG-!
With the axe shouldered, the Guardian Colossus approached right in front of my nose before I knew it.
“Woooo-”
The guy’s sound rang out again.
It was strange.
Right now I wasn’t mimicking a guardian.
Yet for so reason, I felt like I understood the aning of the sound the guy was making.
[Eliminating error.]
BANG-!
A dust cloud rose from the axe slamd down.
WHOOSH-!
My body flew through the air.
It was more correct to say I was bounced off rather than dodged.
Although the Guardian Colossus’s axe aid precisely at the crown of my head.
[Mimicking ‘Cat’.]
[Body Transformation: 100%]
Thanks to montarily mimicking a cat and reducing my body size, I could avoid a direct hit.
“ow-!”
But that was only for a mont.
[Mimicry is released.]
My body returned to original again.
If my condition isn't normal, maintaining mimicry also becos difficult.
Knowledge increased.
The Guardian Colossus hesitated for a mont but soon turned its head towards
again.
That gaze felt sowhat chilly.
CLANG-
The axe blade shone softly receiving the faint light of the altar.
Crushing pressure.
The guy has no intention of stopping.
Eliminate the intruder, that strong will was conveyed.
“Cough!”
Hot tallic taste filled my mouth.
I spat out blood just like that.
The Moonlight Stone in my embrace announced its presence heavily.
I ca here for this, and I’m about to die because of this.
If I do nothing, I die just like this.
If I grasp even a sliver of possibility, I can live.
Then the answer was decided.
‘……Only way is to do it, one more ti.’
Hesitation was only brief.
DING-!
[Purchasing ‘Fatigue Recovery Potion’. (-5,000SP)]
[Purchasing ‘Fatigue Recovery Potion’. (-5,000SP)]
[Purchasing ‘Fatigue Recovery Potion’. (-5,000SP)]
I ordered 3 Fatigue Recovery Potions at once.
It was the maximum amount drinkable at once.
Beyond that, the recovery effect drops significantly.
Moving as much as possible with staggering steps, I grabbed the bottles and twisted the caps open just like that.
GULP, GULP-
Swallowed in an instant.
The liquid going down the esophagus conveyed a uniquely cool sensation.
Hands are still trembling, but breathing beca a bit easier.
“Ha…….”
The hand gripping the sword shook violently.
‘The mont I let my guard down, I die.’
Instinct warned.
In front of that, I gripped the sword firmly with both hands.
‘It’s the first ti using it consecutively.’
Anxiety hovered.
Just using Yaksha Style once causes pain as if the body is exploding and the mind collapses, but using that twice in a row?
‘……Will pain I’ve never experienced even once co.’
I couldn't know.
It was an unknown realm even for .
But there was one thing certain.
‘I have no choice but to do it.’
CRACK-!
My hand changed viciously.
Pale skin spread from forearm to fingertips.
Muscles twisted and white veins protruded over the skin, pulsating.
[Hundred Night Yaksha]
[Body Transformation: 0.33%]
‘0.33?’
It feels like sothing rose very minutely.
That thought passed briefly.
“……!”
Power surged as if exploding.
Sharp sensation penetrating through bones and rising up.
Digging through blood vessels, it was heating muscles roughly.
Gradually, the world looked different.
The scenery in all directions seed to be peeling off its outer shell one by one.
Over the outer skin of the Guardian Colossus standing in front of my eyes, countless trajectories were revealed like veins.
All of them connected with dots and lines, becoming respective paths.
Path of the sword existing solely for the sword to pass.
‘I see it.’
Among them, the mont one chilly trajectory beca clear in my vision.
[Yaksha Style: Heavenly Demon’s Night Slash]
The sharp blade leaving the scabbard drew a large arc.
Chilly sword energy flashed, cutting the empty air.
SLASH-
The sound of air splitting burst out briefly.
The Guardian Colossus stopped its motion abruptly.
That giant body stiffened subtly, stopped like a broken clock hand.
A fleeting mont passed.
A gap that felt very short, yet simultaneously as long as eternity.
That mont when silence swept past.
CRUNCH-
The Guardian Colossus’s giant body split exactly in two.
