Chapter 246 – 246. Absolute Power
246. Absolute Power
A man in a black priestly robe with a black mask covering the lower part of his nose. He indifferently walked towards us, looking over me and Lee Ji-hyeon.
Giing.
Large and small swords were spinning around his body. It seems to have telekinesis-type abilities.
Suwook.
“Keep!”
As he beckoned, the sword stuck in my back was pulled out. Excruciating pain felt at the same time. I screamed and grabbed my stomach. I feel the hot blood soaking my hands.
The stomach was pierced, but it was quite tolerable than I thought. It’s because I’ve been hit a few times in the past, so I’ve developed a tolerance for pain. The adrenaline rushing through my body also eased the pain.
Still, it was painful. I let out a painful groan and activated a brilliant light. The warm light embraced my wounds and began to heal them, but the residual magical power remaining in the wounds prevented healing, so it didn’t have much effect.
“Brother! Gwa, are you okay?!”
“You crazy bastard… !”
Lee Ji-hyun is taken aback by the sudden situation. She hugged me Lee Ji-hyun and I raised our heads and looked at the man who threw the sword at me. The sword that had been spinning around him was aimed at Lee Ji-hyeon.
“You, what are you doing, you bastard!!”
Lee Ji-hyun pointed the magic wand at the man and shouted. Her pink magic overflowed from the tip of her staff. But she didn’t attack. Seeing the tip of her stick quiver slightly, she seemed frightened.
The man in the priestly uniform stared blankly at Lee Ji-hyun. Lee Ji-hyun, who received his cool gaze, flinched at her. He was too crazy for the timid Lee Ji-hyun to handle.
“Lord, die!!”
However, Lee Ji-hyun attacked the man. Lee Ji-hyun, who has accumulated some experience dealing with people through her academy life. Thanks to this, she was able to overcome her fear and raise her magical powers.
From the tip of Lee Ji-hyun’s stick, her pink light radiated. However, her attacks did not reap any fruit. It was because the sword moving around the man moved and parried off all of Lee Ji-hyun’s attacks.
“Where did you get that power?”
A distorted voice came out of the boy’s mouth. When I saw something awkward, it seemed like I was using a translator.
In other words, I am not Korean. Is it chink?
No, maybe, conversely, Koreans could be pretending to be foreigners. It’s confusing.
‘Where did you see…’
I pondered over the identity of the guy. Then, all of a sudden, I thought I had seen that guy somewhere.
I took a closer look at him again.
I wondered where I’d seen it, but isn’t that the priest’s uniform worn by the Heukcheongyo idiots?
Although the skull pattern, a symbol of Heukcheongyo, was not drawn, the overall atmosphere itself was similar. I told the guy just in case.
“Are you Black Heaven?”
“Yes.”
A guy who answers more honestly than you think. Well, if I had intended to hide my identity, I wouldn’t have come wearing that robe. It doesn’t have a skull pattern, but it looks too obvious. It was at a level that people who didn’t know would not know, but those who knew would immediately notice.
“Huh, Dark Heaven? What is that?”
“Yes, something like that. Get out of here because it’s dangerous… Suck!”
I pushed Lee Ji-hyun away. At the same time, one of the swords spinning around him flew like a flash and pierced my leg.
“Cheuk… !”
I raised my mana and tried to block it. But his sword ripped through my barrier like paper, and in an instant severed his arm and slashed his leg.
My limbs were cut off in an instant. But the breath didn’t stop.
His intentions were clear. It means that they will make me until the moment I die and dig up information.
“Oh, brother!! This, this, crazy bastard!!!
Blood spurted in all directions and Lee Ji-hyun screamed. She was horrified at the terrible sight that was unfolding before her eyes.
Seeing my miserable appearance, Lee Ji-hyeon rushed at the man. Her Lee Ji-hyeon’s body began to glow brilliantly, as if she were transforming into a magical girl.
Cheer up!
Her body is covered with white armor. At the same time, the magic wand she was holding changed into the shape of a sword, and Lee Ji-hyun transformed into her knight-like appearance.
[Trans Form: Night (★★)]
Whoa!
Lee Ji-hyun, who transformed from a magical girl into a female knight. She grabbed her sword with both of her hands and swung her sword at the man. A pink, sharp slash is fired from the tip of her sword and rushes toward the man.
Whoa!
This time, the man blocked Lee Ji-hyun’s attack. Even with her transformation, there was an unbridgeable gap between him and Lee Ji-hyun. Lee Ji-hyun barked at her lips and blew additional strokes. But still, she couldn’t break through the man’s defenses.
“Profit!”
Hard.
Lee Ji-hyun’s body begins to change. Once again, she invoked the power of the colossus.
Then, the man showed a change of emotion for the first time. The guy opened her eyes when he saw the power that Lee Ji-hyeon had invoked.
“Die!!”
Jihyun Lee swung her sword once more. She gets a slash that has become twice as large as before.
The man didn’t just defend himself this time. He manipulated the sword to twist the direction of Lee Ji-hyun’s slash and reversed his charge toward Lee Ji-hyun.
Lee Ji-hyun was embarrassed and formed a shield made of pink magic. However, the shield was torn like a piece of paper by the man’s sword.
“How dare you steal the power of a god? On the subject of dirty heresy…”
“What, what!”
Hard.
The man who broke through her barrier and approached her. An ominous aura pervaded his body, and he, like Lee Ji-hyun, began to grow in size.
Quack!
“Shut up!”
And the man grabbed Lee Ji-hyun’s neck. The guy’s sword pointed at Lee Ji-hyeon’s belly. And as if to cut Lee Ji-hyun’s stomach, sword strikes were fired.
“I’ll kill you.”
Pooh!
“What?!”
But it wasn’t Lee Ji-hyun’s stomach that was pierced. The man stepped back, feeling a cool sensation in his side. He touched his side. There was bright red blood on his hands.
And the moment the man checked the blood on his hands.
“Don’t be careless, you bastard!”
Wow!!
I just hit him with a straight punch in his face. Although the sword defended for a moment, I shattered such scrap metal lightly, and my fist was properly driven into his face.
It’s face sinks in and it flies toward the back. It slammed to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.
“Does this motherfucker dare to hit me?”
“Oh, brother?!”
“Hey, pink. Are you okay?”
“My, I want to ask you… Bar, didn’t all your limbs just get cut off?”
Lee Ji-hyun looked at me in bewilderment. It was because even though I confirmed that my limbs were flying in the air, my body looked fine now.
Of course it was cut. However, it was only restored.
[Absolute power activates. It will become inactive if all charges are consumed.]
“What is cut? Get in the way, so get out of the way.”
I replied indifferently and pushed Lee Ji-hyeon back. Lee Ji-hyeon removed his power and hid behind me.
I pulled Lee Ji-hyun behind her and looked in the direction the man flew away. Although he hit it with absolute force, he didn’t hit it with all his might, so he probably didn’t die. As expected, the man walked out, removing the dust.
I couldn’t kill him, but he wasn’t even fine. His face was covered in blood, as if his nose was broken. I was properly hit by my face dent punch.
The guy staggered and grabbed his face. Apparently, the blow was a bit severe. From his mouth came a voice full of rage, even though he had gone through the translator once.
“I dare to say heresy…”
“Sounds like heresy.”
‘I must jump out.’
Absolute power that I’ve been charging for almost two weeks. It definitely worked great. It was not enough to regenerate all of the severed limbs, so it was hard to say that it was bad performance even with empty words, as it was a blow to a guy presumed to be S-class.
However, even when the charge was insufficient, it was too insufficient. Now I’m almost 70% charged. It seemed a bit difficult to deal with him with the remaining 30% charge.
‘Although I could win if I do well.’
If used effectively, the chances of winning are not out of the question. However, there was no reason to take the risk. It’s not just me now, it’s because Lee Ji-hyun was with me.
I wouldn’t know if it was full of mana, but the pink mana was almost exhausted.
There was no need to venture out in a situation where the Lee family could perish.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have just hit it with all my might.’
I felt regret for nothing. I left the charge just in case, but I thought that if I had known it would stick like that, I would have poured all the charge in from the beginning and hit it.
Seeing that kid’s condition now, if he used all the remaining 30% and hit it, he would have been able to at least faint, but it was a little disappointing.
But what has already happened cannot be helped. It’s impossible to turn back time.
As originally planned, I decided to use the remaining charge to escape. I took her hand of Lee Ji-hyun and tied her up.
“Dare!”
Paang!!
Seeing as if he knew I was trying to escape, he threw his sword at me. I handed the hearthstone to Lee Ji-hyun while lightly avoiding the sword.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
“Use this.”
“Huh? Wow!”
Lee Ji-hyun infuses magic into the Hearthstone. At the same time, her body was bathed in light and transported into my room.
“It’s a gift, you bastard!”
Now, only the two of us are left in the dungeon. I wrapped myself in absolute power and charged at him. I approached him, dodging and slashing the swords flying from all sides. Then, I snatched one of his swords and fired a close-range slash at his chest.
“Cheeky!”
Fain!
Unfortunately, my slash only cut through his clothes. I threw my sword at him, leaving my regretful feelings behind.
Shaak
The sword grazed his cheek. A little blood splatters. At the same time, the guy touched his palms and joined his palms.
‘What?’
Once again, the ominous aura oscillates. It was a similar feeling to when he activated the power of the giant god earlier. Instinctively, I looked where the ominous energy was heading.
A huge sword falls from the sky towards me.
“Ohh.”
As it turns out, I couldn’t stop it with the strength I had now. So I used up all of my remaining charge and charged him. I pulled my sword out of my inventory, and with a quicker movement than before, I penetrated his guard and pierced his stomach with a knife.
Pooh!
“It’s revenge from earlier, you bastard.”
[You have exhausted all charges of absolute power. The authority is deactivated.]
Since it was an attack that consumed all of the charge, it worked properly. I smiled and took out a hearthstone from my inventory.
Kwaaang!!!
A huge sword collided with the ground, creating a roar. But, unfortunately, I have already returned home.
Returning home, I collapsed on the floor as if I had fallen.
Whoa, I almost got fucked.
