Chapter 809 – Declaration of War
“You sound like a stolen ancient item.”
Seong-il lightly curses at the manager who made such an arrogant comment, and this time he begins to combine the power of emotion and time.
‘It’ll work out…?’
Normally, he should have calmly taken his time and trained his abilities, but for some reason, Seong-il felt like he could barely learn the abilities if he attempted to fuse his abilities now that he was blocking the waves of attacks from the administrators.
‘In the past, I would have just ignored it, but now I know.’
Seongil knew very well that this ‘feeling’ was in fact a revelation to him. Therefore, even though it may be a bit of a stretch, he defends against alien attacks and tries to understand and copy their attack methods as much as possible while understanding their mechanisms.
‘Perhaps I am able to show such ridiculous achievements because I am currently blocking countless unique fusion attacks. That’s why I gave a hint in response.’
Even at this very moment, when the situation is being analyzed, the manager’s waves of attacks are gradually eroding his territory. Seong-il analyzes the offensive mechanism of those guys through sensitivity, and this time he combines response and the power of time.
“…!!”
Then, the surrounding time slowed down tremendously. However, on the contrary, Seong-il realizes that his speed is moving incredibly fast.
‘Isn’t this the strange power that was instantly unleashed when I had a strong ‘wish’ just now? Now I know how to activate it…?’
Seong-il is thrilled when he realizes that he can now control the ability he used as a fluke at will. As Seong-il is forced to leave, he tries to use telekinesis and the power of time one last time.
“Wood-dud-duk…!!”
When Seong-il began to concentrate his power in one space with a strong wish, the two laws came together. When the strange form of power management method learned from the manager is applied to the process, rather than simply bringing them together through force, a frighteningly terrifying intangible energy sphere is created on Seongil’s palm.
‘This… Is dangerous…!!’
An energy sphere that gives off an unpleasant feeling just by looking at it. When the extremely unpleasant feeling emanating from the sphere began to assault his senses, Seong-il sensed a crisis and quickly threw the energy sphere towards a manager, removing him from his vicinity.
“Hmm…!?”
When Seong-il throws strange fusion energy at himself at an incredible speed, Han Manager frowns and tries to protect himself by creating a powerful force field using an ancient artifact.
Crackle!!!
“Kuh…!!”
However, when the sphere of power, a mixture of time and telekinesis, collides with the force field embodied by the manager, it emits a terrible noise as if laughing at it and begins to eat away at the force field. Its power even succeeds in completely tearing the force field apart in the time it takes for a person to take two breaths.
‘Crazy… I just fused two laws into one and this effect occurred!?’
In fact, it was definitely not ‘just’ to resonate two different laws and fuse them into one. Ability fusion is an extremely high-level power that can be used through long training by high-ranking people of a race that has used supernatural powers for a long time, such as the aliens of the Transcendental Church, but Seong-il, who learned the ability in a single moment thanks to empathy, thought how absurd he was. I’m just amazed by the performance without even knowing that I’ve succeeded in something that didn’t exist.
“This damn bastard…!!”
“It’s a time ability!! It’s clumsy, but I used transcendence based on the time ability!!”
“What…?! The power of time…!? A power that only the archbishop can use, those inferior cattle…?”
‘I guess you could say this fusion method transcends?’
Seong-il was annoyed by their lines, but after trying desperately to swallow his irritation, he listened to the manager talking about fusion. However, unfortunately, they stopped talking about ability fusion after that, and Seong-il began to focus on defense again.
‘It’s so fucking hard…’
After meditating on the battle with split souls, absorbing magical power, converting back to internal power, and then repeating the repair of the crumbling area due to the manager’s transcendental attack. Seong-il feels that his brain is gradually becoming overloaded due to the problem of using his abilities for a long period of time with extreme concentration.
‘It’s a plague… Every minute and every second are hell…!!’
That was when Seong-il slowly lost his patience and was beaten like a punching bag by the manager. A familiar voice begins to resonate in Seongil’s head.
『Seongil! We succeeded in rescuing all the people nearby.』
『Already…?』
“Huh. With the advent of the administrator, a strong shield was erected to prevent external access within a 10 km radius. I think they’re probably trying to isolate outside perspectives. So even if I wanted to rescue more, I couldn’t.』
『Ah…』
It appears that the administrator used a dimensional membrane to block peripheral vision to prevent the citizens of Seoul from being disturbed. So, when the clones seem to have nothing more to do, Seong-il considers whether to call them together and ask them to help hold out.
‘Damn… It’s a waste, but should I use up my alter ego just to kill time…?’
If you order your clones to use the Gwanghyeoldaebeop, they can instantly become powerful, so Seong-il was very sorry to use them as a cast-off. However, since his body is slowly overloading, and he does not have much elixir left, he has no choice but to call his alter ego and use it as a consumable to buy time.
『Dungeon A-1 Team. S-class dungeon cleared.』
“…!!”
『Dungeon C-12 Team. Grade B dungeon cleared!!』
Meanwhile, when Lee Ah-hyeon’s dungeon clear message appears in his augmented reality, Seong-il feels his spirit come to life. And B~A level dungeon clear messages appear one after another.
‘… Except for Lee Ah-hyun, there is no team that has cleared the S-class dungeon yet.’
As her Lee Ah-hyeon was her own woman, her Seong-il handed over not only her various artifacts but also all of her secret arts to her. Thanks to that, Ah-hyeon was renowned for her overwhelming skills even among her team leader level, and she was actually showing performance worthy of that name today.
『… The team that cleared the A-B grade dungeon should carry out a civilian rescue operation under the command of Hunter Lee Ah-hyeon! From now on, I will stop acting as an anvil and switch to an offensive.』
『I understand.』
When Lee Ah-hyeon hears that her Seong-il is suddenly handing over her command to her, she looks momentarily surprised. However, she realized the meaning of her words that he would soon go on the offensive, and she gritted her teeth and began commanding other hunters to help her.
『In a situation where there are no other S-class hunters, I, who has been delegated command authority by the seeker, will temporarily lead the rescue team! Everyone, attack the main street as planned!!』
‘I’m glad I worked hard to raise you.’
Seong-il gently wipes the nosebleed from her nose with his sleeve due to her excessive use of superpowers and then praises Lee Ah-hyun in her mind. Leaving behind her trustworthy person, Seongil lifts her Arun Rabe that she had saved and begins to spread her fearsome power of killing others around her.
‘… Can the power of the artifact be fused with my power?’
Instinctively, Seong-il could feel that such an act was absolutely impossible. However, for some reason, I get the feeling that only ‘response’ can accept the power of external things, such as the power of Arunrabe, rather than one’s own power, and make it ‘transcend’ in a new way.
Wow…!!
Seong-il gently injects her power of sensitivity into Arun Rabe and then tries to inject the sensitivity into the essence of Arun Rabe that is felt within him. Naturally, since it was a cosmic holy object, Arunlabe, who had an ego, seemed momentarily wary of its power.
However, Arun Rabe, who sensed that her power to access her own essence was none other than the essence of the true power used by her own master, instead of resisting her, obeyed her and surrendered his essence to her response.
Rumbling…!!
As she mixes her essence with Arun Rabe, her Seongil feels as if he can instantly ‘kill’ the being he hits using the sword. He even feels as if he can decide whether the weaker beings in his domain will live or die through will alone.
“Huh…!! What is that artifact!? Is it some kind of lost sacred relic of the church?!”
When Seong-il suddenly takes out an object that would be used by an archbishop or an apostle and starts emitting bloody psionic waves around him, an administrator in a suit mutters while looking at Arunlabe in a voice of confusion.
“It’s a holy relic, but it’s not yours. You idiots.”
Seong-il lets out a laugh at the manager’s absurd misunderstanding and lightly swings Arunlabe towards the guy. Then, the bloody power of Shin Slaughter turns into a pure white flame, like Sunyang Ganggi on Seongil, and flies towards the manager with bloody force.
“What…!!
When a unique and bloody psionic attack that he had never seen before flew towards him, the manager instinctively felt that he could not stop it, so he gave up his defense and quickly left the position.
