Chapter 120: The Price of a Hero’s Resolve
Nao’s POV:
Seeing Vaelgorath transform into his true form sent a wave of pressure crashing down on me. The sheer amount of magic he was radiating was overwhelming. He really was a monster of unimaginable strength. I felt relieved that I had managed to separate him from my comrades—if they had to face him, they would have met a gruesome end.
"Nao, stay sharp! Now that his body is smaller, he’s definitely faster than before!" Envi warned me, urging me to check Vaelgorath’s status again.
Status:Unique Monster – Vaelgorath, the One Who Conquers Time (True Form).Level: 95
"This... this is his real form. And his level increased by five?!" I could hardly believe what I was seeing. He was still getting stronger.
"Calm down, Nao! First, we need to analyze his attacks." Envi’s words made sense, so I nodded in agreement. Besides, I was already in [Abyssal Wrath Mode], wielding [Kurogiri], and my [Shadow Conqueror] trait was fully active. I was confident I could keep up.
I kicked off the ground, dashing toward Vaelgorath at full speed. With all the buffs I had, my body felt incredibly light, like I had melted into the shadows of my own magic domain, [Eternal Nightfall].
I launched a direct attack with [Blackmore Katana Style: Inazuma, Dark Magic Version]. My blade sliced through the air like a bolt of lightning, coated in Dark Magic, aiming straight for him.
The entire domain trembled from the force of my strike.
But Vaelgorath—he blocked it.
With just his bare hand.
