Chapter 202. The Fallen Saint (Part 2)
Could it be thats what you were aiming for?
Bairodoom muttered in disbelief.
It was he who had found the interesting concept of a saint.
And it was he who had conceived the idea of her corruption.
He was certain that all his preparations were perfect.
But how did things end up like this?
The tangled thread was so twisted he didnt have the slightest clue where to start unraveling it.
Have I underestimated the humans?
But that seed unlikely the humans he had encountered up until now were far too inferior.
Even the strongest players crumbled to re ashes with a few of his spells.
The army and all the other military forces had been virtually annihilated by the legion of the undead.
There was not a single aspect of humanity that rited overestimation.
Which ant
Only that one human is exceptionally strong, beyond the norm.
There was no other explanation.
His ridiculous strength and ability to strategize under any circumstance.
And above all, an unwavering composure in any situation.
The root cause of all these problems was his underestimation of that one human.
Indeed
Bairodoom nodded slightly.
At this point, he had no choice but to accept the truth.
If he did not use his full power against that human irreversible consequences could occur.
Having lost the saint, we cant afford any more damage. I concede, so far, the victory is yours. But dont raise your glass too soon. I, too, have a move up my sleeve.
Bairodoom took out the black-horned dice.
Unlike before, this ti the faces of the dice began to shine simultaneously.
Jinhyuks eyes narrowed.
Could it be?
He had thought the last ability of the black-horned dice could only be managed by him.
For a boss monster on the 10th floor to know this
It seed this creature too had sothing to fall back on.
Fshhh!
The symbols on the dice overlapped into one.
Ancient runes ford six engravings around the symbol.
Above these engravings, a scarlet swirl arose.
Intense.
Waves of magic pricked his skin.
Ooh.
A sound of intrigue escaped Teresa, who stood beside him.
No surprise there.
What was approaching from beyond was one of the most formidable lee monsters renowned even in the demon realm.
Thud.
With a light step, a man with blue glowing eyes, white skin, and white hair appeared.
He was different from the others.
This creature before them was a Grand Sword Master-class Death Knight.
No need for a bulky armor his slender plated armor had defensive magic inscribed, and his outfit revealed his limbs.
Prioritizing mobility, his shoes and balanced physique were perfect that, rely standing before him, he inspired awe.
Thats the thing that subdued you, wasnt it? Though, strictly speaking, it was the little one who was defeated.
Teresa shrugged her shoulders.
That is going to be quite a headache.
The magician Bairodoom was providing support from the rear,
while the Death Knight stood blocking the front.
It was a combination that could exhibit optimal efficiency even with just those two.
Of course,
the advantage of this combination was sothing we could leverage as well.
How about it. Do you think you can handle it?
I guess? Ill be able to use my mana freely, so itll be different this ti.
Then, Ill leave the Death Knight to you. Id rather play with that lich anyway.
Thats fine with , but in return, promise one thing.
A promise?
Youll have to maintain a strong presence. Keep it interesting for . As long as you can do that, I wont have cause to draw my sword against you, and that little one wont have to mourn the loss of loved ones.
It was easy to forget, given her familiar expressions.
Teresa was corrupted.
The only reason she was joining in was because my mana was the strongest.
Due to the nature of her split personality, her original character would once again beco dominant after the fight, but once corrupted, the current persona might awaken at any ti.
If the Demon King or a high-ranking demon manifested, she could betray at any mont.
Thats why Teresa was urging .
Dont be outdone by them.
And,
help so that her original persona would no longer be hurt.
Reminds of the old days. Rember? You were just as anxious back then, like a sandcastle about to crumble.
The day I first t Teresa.
I had made a request of her.
No matter what happens. Always trust in .
Seems like I do rember it quite clearly.
Teresa smiled subtly, satisfied with the answer she received.
I dont mind n who dont forget anniversaries. Of course, with the Queen of Leeches sticking to your side, I wont dare co any closer.
Screech!
Teresa drew her greatsword along the ground and walked forward.
The gap narrowed.
The Death Knight also took his position with his sword in hand.
If you have any honor, you would accept your defeat and withdraw. You are no match for .
My, my. To think a corpse is talking about honor. Find that in a dragons feeding bowl. Im itching to get back at you for last ti.
Two energies different yet akin collided in the air.
In the calm before the storm, Teresa and the Death Knight gauged the distance between them.
Three steps, two steps and then one.
Teresa moved into a range where one strike could end a life.
The atmosphere shifted dramatically.
The tense breath they held exploded in an instant.
Followed by a relentless, brutal battle that didnt need words like thunderous beasts.
Boom!
Teresa, wielding her substantial greatsword, chased devastating power
Clang!
While the Death Knight, with a thin and long sword, secured his advantage with speed and agility.
The techniques of swordplay refined into art.
[Teresa uses the Lv17 skill Fall of a Nation!]
[All abilities increase by 10% for 1 minute!]
As the flag inscribed with the symbol of a fallen nation was erected,
Teresas movents transford.
Snap!
A greatsword thrust upwards in an instant, sending the Death Knights helm flying.
Almost simultaneously,
the Death Knight, who minimized the impact by tilting his head, thrust his sword into Teresas shoulder pad.
Give and take.
In a battle for life and limb, each strived to exploit the weaknesses of the other with their swords.
Thud! Thud!
Jinhyuk brushed off the dust that clung to his body.
It seems theyre getting into it over there, so shall we start?
Do you really think you can defeat using both a sword and magic at the sa ti?
Huh?
It seed he was seriously misunderstanding sothing
Theres no need to use a sword when I fight you.
Jinhyuk stored his twin swords in his spatial inventory.
With magic alone, you are more than enough.
In order to improve his skills, competing against a powerful magician was essential.
If that magician was of Bairodooms caliber, he would be an exemplary sparring partner.
Furthermore, the anticipation of trying out even the second phase of fusion made his heart race with excitent.
Magic alone Ha! You shouldve known. You really dont see the gravity of your mistake. After all, I didnt think youd write off as a nobody.
Bairodooms laughter, which had been relentless, suddenly ceased.
He raised three fingers.
Three moves. I will finish you off exactly within three moves.
Woosh!
Bairodoom slowly levitated into the air, hovering about 10 ters above the ground.
Instantly, a red hexagram appeared behind him.
In less than a second, a magic circle spanning 5 ters was completed.
You must understand the importance of calculation speed if you can create circles yourself.
Calculation speed.
How quickly can one draw a complex magic circle this is crucial in a magic battle.
The victor of the battle might be decided on whose circle is completed first.
For this reason, high-ranking mages could complete these calculations in a blink, while lower-ranking mages would always be at a disadvantage.
But, those are novice magicians concerns. At my level, the ga changes drastically.
Lich created another magic circle with his opposite hand.
Dual incantation.
Using completely different elents, Bairodoom was casting dual incantations.
You dont need to lecture on the basics of magic. So, what are you trying to say? That I wont stand a chance because I can do dual incantations?
How many simultaneous incantations do you think I can make?
The ability to maintain simultaneous incantations denotes a magicians power.
And Bairodoom was
Woosh!
Woosh!
Woosh!
Capable of executing 30 incantations all at once.
An entire army of incantations!
The nurous hexagrams filled the sky.
Every single one contained magic powerful enough to reduce its target to ashes in a single blow.
This is who I am.
Demon Towers upper stratum, a domain ruled by the Demon King and his nobles.
He was the legion commander, unmistakably leading the 2nd Magic Division, honored among demons and their kind.
All the titles and descriptors pointed to none other than the immortal magician, Bairodoom.
He looked down from above, casting a condescending gaze.
Whats the matter? Frozen in fear? Its natural to react this way upon feeling such a disparity.
Seeing Jinhyuk unable to move, Bairodoom smiled with satisfaction.
But right then.
Chuckle.
Jinhyuk began to chant, barely concealing a snicker.
[Unique Abilities Fire Elent and Glacial Sculpting]
Fusing two skills together.
And then.
[Daylight fuses with them!]
He added a third skill into the mix.
The second capability of fusion was not just uniting two abilities, but syncretizing multiple unique skills and abilities.
Up until now, he had combined magic and lee combat instead of engaging in significant magical confrontations that require a boatload of mana.
But today was different.
At least to this guy, he would show earnestly what real multiple incantations were.
[You have successfully fused Triple Magic as a unique ability!]
[The fused ability will be stored under Worlds mory.]
Using the newly acquired ability, he enhanced the Barrier.
Then, based on the enhanced abilities, he recreated multiple incantations.
Woosh!
One by one.
Magic circles based on ancient runes began to erge over Jinhyuks shoulders.
Th-this cant be
Bairodooms eyes shook violently.
It wasnt just 30 sothing it was an uncountable number.
An endless array of magic circles consud the sky above.
[A 10-star Multiple Successive Barriers has been constructed.]
With a one-minute limit.
[Infinite Magic manifests!]
Fancy titles like Magic Division were unnecessary for a veteran player.
Even without recognition or adornnt,
the true ruler of the tower was one who could simply enjoy this world.
Ill end this with a single move.
