Chapter 214 – Naa → Rock! I→Rock! (5)
“Whoa, whoa…!”
“Haha…”
Kang, Cagan! Kaaang!
Swords collide with swords, and sparks fly again. A shower of arrows bounced off an invisible barrier, and dozens of bullets fired without warning were blocked by a single sword. The hero who saved countless worlds in a series of explosions escaped by rolling on the floor, and the villain who followed the evil god, who got up even after being hit by a bloody blow that killed even the Dragon Lord, exhaled a difficult breath and quickly restored his raging body. After that, he swings his sword again and attacks.
Through numerous adventures, Siwoo Jeong made connections with others and used all the possibilities that resulted from them as his own strength.
Ragnar Armageddon extracted the power of the mind based on desire from the hearts of countless people and used it as his own weapon by understanding and sympathizing with it.
Two people with various means, so exquisitely, each had the means to respond to each other’s means. When Jeong Si-woo takes out his Noble Phantasm ‘Tokisetsu’ and unleashes a sword at a speed that humans can’t react to, Ragnar is already ready to reflect the attack by activating 〈 Incarnation – Rainbow Reflect 〉 when his weapon changes to a katana. Was In addition, when Ragnar Armageddon made a combined attack through 〈 Simui – Glass Crafts 〉 and 〈 Insim – Distortion Acrobatics 〉, Jeong Si-woo also endured it with his own invincible weapon, the Noble Phantasm ‘Golden Time’.
In that way, seeing each other exchanging their means and hitting the counter against the counter, it was like seeing a rock-paper-scissors, but there were 30 hands that could be raised instead of three. In order to defeat the opponent with all their might, identify and dig into the weaknesses of the opponent’s abilities, and prepare for the opponent to attack the weaknesses of their own abilities, and in just 1-2 seconds, it is a fierce battle that can make the difference between victory and defeat. A fight ensued.
Seeing that, Justia was convinced that they never planned anything else. There was no hesitation in the hands of Rag or Armageddon, who violently pounded and shattered Si-Woo Jung’s protective shield with his werewolf-like arms. It was because I couldn’t see it because it was a fake play. Thinking with common sense, in what kind of play in the world would you play a duel scene with a real sword, not a prop that only imitates its shape?
[It’s really ugly. Yes, in the end, no matter how brilliant a hero is, when his own life is at stake, he has no choice but to sacrifice others for his own safety. Is that the nature of being human?]
Justia looked down at the bloody duel between the two, and she only let out a sneer as if it were insignificant. If they fight fiercely with such enormous power, even if one side wins, the winner’s body will never be fine. If she goes down directly, even a light slap on her neck will make her too weak to defend. Justia fiddled with the golden hammer in her hand, waiting for one side to win.
[…
Victoria, the goddess of victory, in her heart despised Justia, who laughed at the fierce battle between two superhumans as a fight between idiots. She only reluctantly complied with her plan to help the Goddess of Equality. She had no interest in Justia’s ‘crusade for a new age’. And above all… Justia herself had a time when she was a human who hated and challenged a ruthless god, but after ascending to the position of a god, her attitude of treating humans as her inferiors or expendables is similar to Victoria, a god of human origin. It didn’t look very good to me.

“Starlight Burst!!”
A sword attack that scatters starlight flies with ferocious momentum. 〈 Deliberation – As I swung my left arm horizontally, which was surrounded by diamond steel 〉, and slashed the sword outward, he stabbed me in the nape of my neck with the dark red dagger that I had been holding in my other hand for some time.
“Kahheuk…!!”
I squinted my eyes at the hot pain I felt in the back of my neck. What I don’t feel is fear, not pain. 〈 Deliberation – Inner Beast 〉 As soon as he raised the claws of the wolf on his right hand and swung it, Jeong Si-woo immediately let go of the dagger and stepped back. Enduring the terrible pain of a vicious blade slicing through my throat, I pulled out the dagger stuck in my throat. As soon as he pulled out the dagger, dark red blood gushed out from the hole in his neck, but soon the hole filled up again and the blood stopped.
“My words are bullets. Pierce the enemy!”
Untan, an attack that uses the power of the words he utters. When I heard those words while recovering from a neck injury, the concepts he had uttered in the form of words were already penetrating my body. As soon as his throat healed, this time he pierced a hole in his stomach. You really don’t give me a break. Concentrating his strength and raising his body’s regenerative power to the limit, he filled the hole at once so that even a fist could pass through without any problems.
“Crazy… No, what the hell is the body’s regenerative ability?”
“Who will say…”
Obviously, 〈 Shim-ui – Even though I was using Diamond Steel 〉, my body got pierced. Untan is an attack that blows the concept itself, so even if that’s the case, what is this dagger? Even with the attack of the holy sword from earlier, it pierced the intact skin without incident. The pure destructive power of the holy sword is far superior, but it seems that this dagger has the ability to ignore defense.
Damn, no matter how many defense-type abilities, what do you do? Luke, Justia, and Jung Si-woo. Why do all the guys I deal with have defense ignoring abilities? Of course, even if you can break through the defense, there is no problem because you can quickly recover from ‘minor wounds to the extent of piercing the neck or stomach’ thanks to the excellent body regeneration ability.
“What’s wrong, guild master? Could this be your limit? No. This can’t be everything.”
Chick-geek, Chick-geek. I let out a grotesque laugh as I loosened the joints in my just-recovered, still-stiff neck.
“You can’t kill me with halfway attacks like that.”
“It’s a half-hearted attack… Because it’s usually the best Noble Phantasms that would have already died? It’s hard to find anyone who can withstand more than one of them.”
“But isn’t that your strength?”
“…”
〈 Deliberation – The Beast Within〉
〈 Deliberation – Geumgang 〉
〈 Review – Reward〉
By using multiple abilities at once, he raises his physical ability, which is otherwise non-human, to a level higher than that of a monster. Along with the clicking sound of both arms, the muscles bulked up, tough and rough hair grew, and the nails grew sharp. Black energy is overlaid on top of it, the color of the hair is dyed black, and golden energy is added to it, and an unacceptable energy rises. The aura of a predator that forcibly draws out the survival instincts dormant inside people.
“If you can’t finish me off with all your might, you won’t be able to defeat me. So, pour all your strength into it! If you’re a hero who prevents the destruction of many worlds, if you’re a hero who protects the balance at the center of the largest existing world, that’s it.” Do your best to defeat me so that you will not be ashamed of your title!”
It roars like a beast and raises its power to the limit.
With that momentum, I spurred on the wildly fluctuating surface of the water and leaped. Facing me, who had jumped more than three times his height without help, Jeong Si-woo changed the sword in his hand into a staff and unleashed 30 blue magic circles at once without chanting.
“Icicle Rain – Reverse!”
Originally, it was a somewhat bloody magic that randomly dropped icicles the size of adult men from the sky to attack, but reversed the principle by modifying a few magic formulas in that short time. Makes the magic that should fall rise, and more than double its speed. Thirty spears of ice flew all at once from the ground. However, instead of piercing my body, those huge icicles shattered as soon as they touched me. Scattering fragments of broken ice, I fell toward Jeong Si-woo.
“Kuh…!!”
Switching his staff back to the holy sword, he thrust the sword at my arm. The bloody claws that lightly tear apart human flesh like clay, and the holy sword that kills even an ancient lich tied for thousands of years with a single blow collided, and dazzling light and turbid darkness rained down dizzyingly in all directions. However, if there was one thing Jung Si-woo needed to know, it was that he only had one sword, but mine had two hands.
“Kruaaaaa!!”
“What?!”
He let out a scream that was already more like a monster than a human, and swung his other hand and struck the side of the holy sword that was competing with my left arm. At the same time as the sword was pushed aside, Jeong Si-woo’s posture also collapsed, and I continued to swing his arm and hit his face with my thick elbow. Zheng Siu, skilled in combat, immediately lowered his head to avoid his elbow, but the claws of his left hand flew back toward his face as he descended below him.
“Haaaaa!!!”
Mana rushes into Jeong Si-woo’s sword. I can’t defend myself with my current posture, so are you going to add strength to the sword and give up the flesh to take the bones? However, the tip of the sword was aimed at the air, not at me. What would you do if you gathered your mana in such a situation…?
Wow!
“Huh?!”
“Turn it off…!!”
Gee, crazy.
With a sudden small explosion, Jeong Si-woo’s sword moves at a speed that is beyond common sense. Forcibly exploding his magic power, and with the recoil, quickly pushed the sword back? It’s a crazy thing that cuts down the lifespan of a weapon, but there’s no way that a weapon that went through the hands of the blacksmith god could be broken with just one shot. Entrusting his body to the explosive speed of the sword, Jeong Si-woo’s body rotates once. I dodged my left hand, and at the same time his sword cut through my shoulder blades.
“Haha…!”
“Turn it off… It’s really not easy.”
I never thought he would evade the attack by performing such an eccentricity in that situation. The difference in experience in combat is clearly felt. Unlike me, who had only suppressed the weak with force for a long time, I felt like I could see his life, which had gone through several come-from-behind victories against those stronger than himself.
“Now you know that you have to be sincere, right?”
“Yeah… I really didn’t want to, but I can’t help it…!”
*
[Ha, it seems that the victory or defeat is about to be decided.]
Unlike Jeong Si-woo, who was seriously injured and weakened by Justia’s attack, Ragnar Armageddon had an exponential advantage as the fight went on for a long time thanks to the outstanding durability and resilience unique to the body formed by the old gods. Stimulated by “,” Jung Si-woo tried the last gamble to decide the win or loss.
“The 100th anniversary of Bond Summon!!”
100 magic circles of different colors and shapes that appeared behind Si-Woo Jung interlocked and rotated like gears, and one hundred colleagues from other worlds appeared from the magic circle.
Fate summons. Magic that summons the person with whom one has a bond and the potential of that person as an ally to help oneself. Crossing the borders of the world, strong people who can be called heroes in each world have appeared. But it doesn’t end there…
“Biggie – the ceiling!”
The number of trump cards that can be used by collecting the remnants of that power when using Bond Summons a certain number of times in a single battle. The last card hidden by Jung Si-woo, which even Justia has never seen. The beautiful starlight gathered in one place soon bursts out, permeating the bodies of those who responded to Si-Woo Jeong’s call, raising their abilities close to double. And the summoned heroes gather their strength and push it to Jeong Si-woo.
The power of his ties and achievements gathered in the holy sword held by Si-Woo Jeong, and the power gathered in that way was at a level that could not be surpassed even by the power of a god. Seeing that, Justia groaned in her heart. If Jeong Si-woo had weakened due to the wounds he had inflicted, and had set out to deal with him himself instead of enlisting the goddess of fate and making Jeong Si-woo fight with Ragnar Armageddon… The thought that he was going to face that terrifying attack, which would not have been overcome at all, made his back break out in a cold sweat.
Not to be outdone by this, Ragnar Armageddon also prepared a secret means to counteract it. The minds of those who expressed their inner strength through desire through themselves were overlapped and combined to create a large and thick spear to break the huge meteorite created by Jeong Si-woo.
“Well, you don’t have to say that when you use special moves, do you?”
“Anyway, this is the last one, but if possible, decorate it while shouting nicely.”
“It’s not really my taste, but… Well, I’ll hang out with you.”
Shortly after the trivial and boring story that was not typical of those who risked their lives to prepare for the final blow, the two men shouted their throats as if they were tearing each other and swung weapons that condensed their power to the limit.
“Punishment Fate!!”
“Libido Strike!!”
A blow that twists the fate revealed through karma and karma shared in countless worlds collides with a blow that condenses the desires inherent in countless humans.
A contest of strength in which each other’s special moves collide with each other’s special moves. The moment they were pushed back even a little, Rag, Armageddon, and Jeong Si-woo poured all their strength into the push-off fight, where they could not be pushed endlessly and were about to fall out. The final attack, when the hero and the villain exert their full power, the sword and the spear bite each other and let out a metallic scream.
From the viewpoint of Victoria, the goddess of victory who blesses the birth of a duel between people and the glorious victory that resulted from it, it was a thrilling match that she found in an unexpected place. To the extent that the goddess who takes the side of the victor thinks that no matter which side wins at the end of the fierce battle, and whoever loses, the battle in which each of them did their best is deserving of a blessing regardless of victory or defeat. In the sight of her heart growing in the viewer, and in the turbulence of intense emotions evoked by struggle and duel, the goddess of victory involuntarily stole tears of emotion.
Of course, in the meantime, Justia was only laughing with contempt, saying that the two of them would take care of themselves so that they could easily deal with it later, just with the simple thought of defeating the enemy in front of them without thinking about the future. Since the one who received the victory could never survive, they waited for the result of victory or defeat, saying that they had to cut the thread of the loser and put an end to their life.
A final blow that has never been shown before in life, and which has brought each other to the bottom of their own.
At the collision of that gigantic force, the lunar sea is agitated and the seawater flows upward.
On the stage where the sky and the sea were reversed by the shock of the two strong forces exploding, Si-Woo Jeong looked at Ragna Armageddon, who was standing on his two legs, gasping for breath as he knelt on one knee.
He was in a state where it wouldn’t be strange if he lost consciousness right away because he gathered all his strength and poured it into the injury sustained by the goddess of justice.
Ragnar Armageddon said with a strangely refreshing smile.
“…Hero, that’s right.”
Toduk, toduduk. Shoot aaaaa…!
The seawater that had risen into the sky realized its position belatedly, and on the dry sea where salty rainwater poured incessantly, the body of Ragnar Armageddon, which had been split in two with a very fine line, collapsed.
