Chapter 161 : Chapter 161
Chapter 161 : Supreme King (5)
The Demonic energy overflowing from the Supreme King dominated the surrounding space and soon began to take a certain shape.
Crack, craaack……!
The monster of Demonic energy I had seen before.
However, this time it wasn't just one, but dozens of monsters.
It seemed a bit smaller than back then, but the problem was that the numbers had increased to a level that couldn't be compared to before.
“Prove it, Postponer of Ruin. Whether you are truly the fate that will stop me!”
“Cheap tricks.”
The monsters of Demonic energy surrounded me, each having different shapes and sizes.
[Grrr…….]
[Gruuk, gruuk!]
I could assert that even a decent Level 7 or higher player would find it difficult to guarantee survival in this situation.
That was how extraordinary and threatening the presence and Demonic energy emitted by the monsters of Demonic energy were.
If I hadn't been a Postponer of Ruin, I would have already been poisoned by the Demonic energy and collapsed.
But I had a way to respond even if hundreds of such monsters swarmed me.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[‘Lv.5’ weapon is summoned.]
[Summons weapon, ‘N242 Minigun’.]
Along with a blue halo of light, the magnificent appearance of the N242 Minigun was revealed in my hand.
Whirrr…….
The barrel began to rotate roughly.
Then, as the rotation finally accelerated and reached a certain speed, bullets began to pour out from the barrel in earnest at a rate of 6,000 rounds per minute.
Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!!!───
The firepower poured out by the N242 Minigun dared not be compared to the firepower poured out by general firearms.
The overwhelming firepower that literally ground the target to bits pulverized everything in the path where the barrel passed.
It meant it wasn't classified as a heavy weapon for nothing.
As if proving that fact, as soon as the 7.62×51mm rounds harboring the power of the Postponer of Ruin touched the monsters of Demonic energy, intense sparks flew in all directions.
Tzzt, Tzztzzt─!
Crackle! Crackle!
The monster of Demonic energy was hit by the bullets containing the power of the Postponer of Ruin and was pulverized without even being able to let out a scream.
Just like that, as the barrel of the N242 Minigun swept through the monsters of Demonic energy once, there was nothing left in that spot.
“Magnificent, Postponer of Ruin.”
The Supreme King was still looking down at me while sitting aloofly on the throne.
That gaze looking down.
I didn't like it.
“Looks like you have no intention of coming down.”
“The proof has only just begun. Is there a need to be impatient?”
“Bullshit.”
The Supreme King seemed to think he could still sit there, but I had no intention of letting him.
No one can look down on me like that.
“If you have no intention of coming down, I’ll drag you down.”
I’ll check how long that stiff neck can remain upright.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[Personal weapon is summoned.]
[Summons weapon, ‘AKR-74 Assault Rifle (GF-40 Grenade Launcher Combined)’.]
Along with a blue halo of light, the manners-teaching AKR-74 Assault Rifle revealed itself in my right hand.
“Let’s see how long you can hold that head up stiffly in that spot.”
There was no need to hesitate.
Clack─
A gunshot rang out along with the trigger that was pulled without hesitation.
Bang─
Bang-bang-bang!!!
The bullets containing the power of the Postponer of Ruin rushed toward the Supreme King and collided with the barrier of Demonic energy that the Supreme King was wearing.
Crackle──!!!
Sparks bouncing intensely.
No matter that it contained the power of the Postponer of Ruin, it seemed difficult to pierce that curtain with this level of firepower.
I didn't know how many Ascension Stone Fragments he had absorbed, but I wasn't the old me either.
Click-
Along with the trigger pulled once again, a grenade was fired from the launcher's ejection port this time.
Thump──!
The grenade's velocity was neither fast nor slow.
It was just that speed, but it was enough to cause an explosion in front of the Supreme King.
Booooom!!!
Along with the roughly occurring explosion, the barrier of Demonic energy that had been enveloping the Supreme King until now caused a violent reaction.
Crackle-crackle!!!
The power of the Postponer of Ruin contained in the grenade began to drive away the Supreme King's Demonic energy barrier.
There was no winner in the violently occurring power struggle.
Only, the figure of the Supreme King covering his body with a cloak was revealed through the thick smoke.
The fact that he covered his body with a cloak meant he felt the necessity to do so.
“Do you feel like standing up now?”
“I acknowledge it, that you are the fate that has come to block me.”
The Supreme King, who had only been looking down aloofly until now, lifted his heavy buttocks from the throne and stood up.
Click─
Meanwhile, I changed the magazine of the AKR-74 Assault Rifle.
I poured out about fifty percent of the firepower I possessed just to drag the Supreme King down from his seat.
Considering that the fight with the Supreme King would continue in earnest from now on, it was a bad sign.
‘As expected, it won’t be easy.’
The one fortunate thing was that thanks to recklessly pouring out firepower clad in the power of the Postponer of Ruin, the Supreme King's Demonic energy, which seemed like it would choke the breath out of me, had decreased significantly.
It meant the Demonic energy the Supreme King harbored had decreased.
It meant he wouldn't be able to pressure me by recklessly pumping out monsters of Demonic energy like a moment ago.
‘He’s coming.’
Except for the clothes he was wearing, no special weapon or shield was visible on the Supreme King who had stepped down from the throne.
“Do you intend to fight with your bare body?”
“Everything my hand touches is my weapon, Postponer of Ruin.”
An unusual aura began to flow out from the Supreme King.
“I will show you the proof of that.”
The Supreme King clenched his fist.
To be exact, he grabbed the air.
‘Magic? No. That’s just grabbing the air itself with physical strength.’
Then what would happen next was also clear.
Whoooooosh……!
What should I call that?
Typhoon? Storm?
A lump of something that couldn't be easily expressed in words rushed toward me.
[‘Orb of Water’ protects the wearer.]
[‘Orb of Water’ deploys ‘Rotating Shield of Water’.]
[‘Nak's Legacy─Jeon’ activates its power according to the wearer's will.]
[‘Nak's Legacy─Jeon’ deploys ‘Guardian Thunder’.]
The power of the Orb of Water and the power of Nak's Legacy were manifested simultaneously and stood against the shockwave.
Craaaaash!!!
Tzzt, Tzztzzt!
The energy wave caused by the Supreme King contained Demonic energy, and naturally, it clashed with the power of the Orb of Water, to which the Postponer of Ruin's power was added, causing fierce sparks.
Rum-ble-craaash!!
Unable to overcome the huge shockwave, I was pushed back several steps.
“Magnificent indeed! Then try blocking this as well!”
The Supreme King's attacks flew in succession, and the Orb of Water and Nak's Legacy also activated their powers in succession.
Boom!
Baaaaang!!!──
Sounds like drums bursting rang out in succession, and the power of the authority harbored by the Orb of Water and Nak's Legacy decreased rapidly.
‘As expected, Level 8 or higher.’
Causing this kind of nonsensical phenomenon with just physical strength meant that the Supreme King was a player of Level 8 or higher.
In the World of Justice, a Level 8 player holds a lot of meaning.
Top-tier player.
Since the realm of Level 9 was a realm that only a chosen few could reach in the first place, Level 8 is practically considered the top-tier realm in the World of Justice.
As I judged, the Supreme King was such a Level 8 player.
‘If this goes on, I won’t last long.’
The Supreme King's attacks flew in succession.
Every time the storm caused by a seemingly light hand gesture engulfed me, the power of the Orb of Water shook greatly.
‘No choice.’
If I only defended forever, the moment the power of the Orb of Water ran out would be my end.
‘Counterattack.’
The moment the power of the Orb of Water cleared for a bit, I didn't miss that gap and aimed the muzzle of the AKR-74 Assault Rifle at the Supreme King.
“Nice to meet you, bastard.”
Demonic energy imbued the magazine of the AKR-74 Assault Rifle, and soon, a Demonic Bullet spewed from the muzzle along with the pulled trigger.
Bang!
The Supreme King, who was exposed directly to the bullet barrage, could not overcome the shock and was pushed back all the way.
No matter that it contained the power of the Postponer of Ruin, if it were a normal bullet, it would never have reached the Supreme King.
Because along with the armor of Demonic energy the Supreme King was wearing, the defensive gear he was wearing was also not ordinary.
However, this was a Demonic Bullet harboring Demonic energy.
Although it might not be enough, the Supreme King clearly took some damage.
“As expected of the Postponer of Ruin.”
The Supreme King's metallic voice chuckled.
“There is no lack at all in testing my fate!”
The Supreme King, who vomited a bestial roar, rushed in.
Until now, the Supreme King had only done ranged attacks, but now, perhaps having changed his stance, he turned towards close combat.
Avoiding the rushing Supreme King, I stepped with Gale Step and summoned a new magazine.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[‘Lv.3’ ammunition is summoned.]
[Summons ammunition, ‘7.62×39mm round’.]
The magazines summoned in advance were already exhausted, and with this, this was the last 7.62×39mm round I could use right now.
‘After exhausting all these rounds, it’s difficult to deal with him with just firearms anymore. Close combat is unavoidable.’
Then what weapon should I use during close combat?
The first thing that came to mind was, as expected, the Fang of Blazing Fire, but unless it was a medium for the Demon of Blazing Fire, the performance as a weapon itself was just so-so.
‘Divine Sword Levatein is a trump card to the end……. Is that the only way as expected?’
The time for thinking wasn't long.
Because the Supreme King's fist clad in Demonic energy appeared right in front of my nose before I knew it.
‘Tsk.’
I quickly stepped with Gale Step and dodged the fist, but what appeared in the place I dodged to was the Supreme King's kick.
‘Can’t dodge this.’
The Orb of Water exerted its power and tried to create a defensive wall in front of my eyes, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of the Supreme King's kick.
‘No choice.’
If I can't block or dodge, there is only one method left for me.
Attack.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[Reproduces weapon, ‘Holy Spear Brionac’.]
[Weapon Reproduction Rate : 55%]
[Reproduction Duration : 1 minute 15 seconds]
Even within the World of Justice, if I reproduce the Divine Sword Levatein, which is counted as the strongest sword, it’s only a 30% reproduction rate and 10 seconds duration, but if I reproduce another weapon?
That reproduction rate and duration increase to a level that can't be compared.
Just like right now.
Swaaaaish!!!
Holy Spear Brionac, holding Demonic energy, stretches out toward the Supreme King, holding the power of the Postponer of Ruin.
At that, the Supreme King, who seemed like he would blow my head away with a kick right away, also twisted his posture and escaped the crisis.
“So even a crisis wasn’t a crisis. Magnificent, Postponer of Ruin.”
The Supreme King seemed to consider the crisis just now a trap I had dug, but there was no need to bother correcting that misunderstanding.
It was then.
-This way!
-It’s an intruder! Handle them all!
-Yes!
Seeing the commotion happening outside, it seemed the Imperial Knights who heard the gunshots had arrived.
The Special Task Force members would be guarding the front, but they wouldn't last long.
I had to finish the battle with the Supreme King before that.
‘Tsk.’
To think I even have to quickly finish a fight with someone overwhelmingly stronger than me…….
It was an absurdly disadvantageous fight, but I didn't mind it much.
Because I hadn't always fought advantageous fights.
No, the fight with the Destruction Dragon was always a fight against despair, and despite that, I didn't back down.
It will be the same now.
“Now, let’s keep going.”
Holding the Holy Spear Brionac, I rushed toward the Supreme King.
