Chapter 164 : Chapter 164
Chapter 164 : Supreme King (8)
The blazing fire soaring from the Fang of Blazing Fire finally took the shape of a giant lizard.
“Devour everything.”
As if responding to that, the Lizard of Blazing Fire roared.
[Kieeeeeee──!]
The roar, vomited out loudly, not only scattered sound but also scattered blazing fire in the area in an instant.
The sight of blazing fire scattering in all directions and burning everything was like a living hell.
“Magic of Blazing Fire!”
The Supreme King formed hand seals while bursting into incredibly ferocious laughter, as if finding it amusing.
Although it was a hand seal made in the middle of a chaotic battle, there was no way I wouldn't recognize it.
‘Magic of Severe Cold.’
Magic that is the antithesis of the Magic of Blazing Fire, and magic I enjoyed using during the World of Justice days.
I thought he would have a hidden card, but I didn't know he would be hiding the Magic of Severe Cold.
“Frost Zone.”
As the incantation flowing from the Supreme King's mouth rang out, frost began to rise, centering on the Supreme King.
Crack, crackle──!
Soon, the rising frost and the blazing fire collided with each other, repeating the cycle of ice melting and freezing again.
Flame and ice.
Blazing fire and frost.
They mingled as if to devour each other, turning this place into a domain where scorching heat and severe cold coexisted.
‘……Filthy hot.’
At the same time, it is bitterly cold.
A sight that could be a contradiction if it is one was happening right here.
Interestingly, thanks to the Magic of Severe Cold the Supreme King used to oppose the Magic of Blazing Fire, the price of magic I was paying was also being offset.
It was truly ironic.
“Where are you looking!”
The Supreme King's fist, fully clad in Demonic energy that still showed no signs of bottoming out, rushed in.
Since I even brought out a trump card, the Supreme King also seemed to intend to clash with all his might.
I also gripped the Fang of Blazing Fire and faced the Supreme King.
Kaang!
As the Fang of Blazing Fire and the Supreme King's fist collided, fragments of flame and fragments of Demonic energy scattered in all directions.
‘If it's now, when our speeds are the same, I can face the Supreme King's movements.’
Currently, this domain had a restriction placed on the speed one could reach by Akiro's Law.
Therefore, facing the Supreme King in close combat, which would normally be impossible, was also possible.
‘While Akiro's Law is maintained, I must deal maximum damage.’
If Akiro's Law ended, I could no longer face the Supreme King.
Tzzt, Tzztzzt!
As the power of the Postponer of Ruin and the Supreme King's Demonic energy collided, sparks occurred repeatedly.
The power of the Postponer of Ruin was making it possible to overcome the difference in immense specs that dared not even be compared.
“If you are the fate to block me, prove it!”
“I intend to do so anyway!”
The Fang of Blazing Fire cut the Supreme King's flank, and the Supreme King's fist struck my arm.
“Kuk!”
Perhaps thanks to the speed limit being placed, my arm didn't get crushed at once even after taking the Supreme King's attack.
But no matter that, the Supreme King is the Supreme King.
The damage caused by him continued to accumulate.
Amidst the increasing wounds and violence, we each vomited bestial roars at each other.
“Postponer of Ruin!”
“Supreme King!”
Thwack!
The Supreme King's kick strikes my flank.
Slash!
The Fang of Blazing Fire cut the Supreme King's shoulder blade and burned that spot.
Along with that, the blazing fire surging from the earth tried to swallow the Supreme King's body, but every time it did, the frost flowing from the Supreme King drove away the blazing fire.
“Hoo, hoo……!”
Despite it being a momentary clash, dozens of movements were exchanged instantly, so naturally, stamina was exhausted quickly.
But there was no time to rest.
The Supreme King was still going strong even now.
Boom!
The clash continued again.
Crack, craaack──!
A blast of wind condensed in the Supreme King's right hand, and it raged.
Whirrr-crash!!!
Amidst the raging blast, I stuck my legs into the stone floor to keep my balance somehow.
“Kuk!”
However, sticking my legs into the stone floor meant that a big problem arose with mobility.
The Supreme King didn't miss that gap, rushing in and extending his fist.
I urgently set the blade side of the Fang of Blazing Fire upright and blocked it, but I couldn't block the impact entirely.
Rumble-rumble!!!
My legs, which had dug into the floor, were stuck even deeper.
As the Supreme King's attacks continued, my body was gradually driven into the floor as if being nailed down.
“Is this all you've got, Postponer of Ruin!”
“……As if!”
The Supreme King shouted confidently, but his condition wasn't that good either.
Before I knew it, the corrosion caused by the Destruction Dragon's Demonic energy, which was contained in the Holy Spear Brionac and the AKR-74 Assault Rifle earlier, was progressing all over the Supreme King's body.
Of course, my state wasn't that intact either.
Bruises from the Supreme King's attacks were all over my body, and the remaining Demonic energy and the Orb of Water were forcibly moving my arms and legs, which would normally be impossible to move.
‘I have to settle this soon.’
Soon, the effect of Akiro's Law will end.
Before that, there was a need to deal significant damage to the Supreme King.
‘Is it about time?’
Until now, I continued to swing the Fang of Blazing Fire, focusing the Supreme King's attention on my right hand.
Therefore, right now, the Supreme King was relatively not guarding against my left hand.
Because my left hand was bare right now.
But there is no rule that a bare hand remains bare forever.
Just like right now.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[‘Lv.1’ weapon is summoned.]
[Summons weapon, ‘Colt Garrison B-09’.]
Along with the blue halo of light that appeared in my left hand, the Colt Garrison B-09 revealed its appearance.
Click-
“Hmm?”
The gap in the moment the Supreme King was flustered.
I didn't miss it.
Bang─!
The fired bullet rushed toward the Supreme King's heart, which was clad in Demonic energy.
Tzzt-tzzt-tzzt!!!
Intense sparks occurred and a repulsive reaction also occurred, but the bullet piercing the Supreme King's chest did not happen.
As expected, no matter that there is the power of the Postponer of Ruin, a regular bullet that isn't even a Demonic Bullet couldn't pierce the Supreme King's heart.
Right, with just one shot, that is.
Bang!
Bang-bang-bang!!
Along with the trigger pulled in succession, intense sparks flew again.
Crackle, crackle!
Tzzt-tzzt-tzzt!
A fight of power against power.
A fight of attack against defense.
At the end of that fierce fight, finally, after countless attempts, a single bullet touched the Supreme King's chest.
To be exact, it pierced the chest.
Puk!
At the same time, a scream burst out from the Supreme King's mouth.
“Keo-heok!”
Although the bullet couldn't completely penetrate the Supreme King's chest, just digging in was enough.
A normal human dies just by a bullet piercing the chest, and no matter if it's a player, that level was clearly a fatal wound.
“……Kuk.”
Is the Supreme King indeed the Supreme King?
The Supreme King looked at me with a gaze that still hadn't died even after his chest was pierced by a bullet.
“Did you aim for this opportunity?”
“It was quite decent, right?”
“However, this much is insufficient to stop me, Postponer of Ruin.”
Despite the wound clearly not being small, the Supreme King, unconcerned, swung his fist at me again.
Craaaaash!!!
The blade tip of the Fang of Blazing Fire, which blocked the attack, rang loudly.
Amidst the feeling that my arm would break, the Supreme King's fist pounded the Fang of Blazing Fire repeatedly.
“Ugh!”
Clearly, I still had remaining bullets, but regrettably, time to reload the Colt Garrison B-09 wasn't given.
The Supreme King's offensive gradually became rougher.
I was barely blocking those attacks by setting the side of the Fang of Blazing Fire upright, but damage was steadily accumulating just by blocking.
It reached a point where an intact spot couldn't be found on my tattered body.
Bad news wasn't just that.
[Akiro's Law ends.]
[The effect of the Law of ‘Speed Bump’ disappears.]
The effect of Akiro's Law, which had been restraining the Supreme King until now, ended.
Naturally, the speed of the Supreme King, whose feet were unleashed, became faster to a level incomparable to before, and according to the laws of physics, that destructive power also jumped more than double.
Craaaaash!!!
The Fang of Blazing Fire, unable to overcome the increased destructive power, flew far away.
As my grip burst completely, I ended up losing hold of the Fang of Blazing Fire.
“It's the end now, Postponer of Ruin.”
As if dealing the final blow, the Supreme King's fist rushed in front of me.
Now, there was no power or method left for me to block that.
‘……Eventually, it came to this.’
It was a fight where the difference in power was too evident from the start.
Strictly speaking, just coming this far could be seen as doing sufficiently well.
The Supreme King's fist gradually gets closer.
If I get hit by that squarely, my head will be blown away without a trace.
‘Is this…… enough?’
No, it's not.
I can't end it like this.
‘Not yet.’
How long has it been since I continued the fight with the Supreme King?
How much time have I endured against the Supreme King?
The answer to that could be known soon.
Thump, thump─
I feel it.
One of the abilities of Weapon Summon, which couldn't be used because it was caught in cooldown time until now, has opened again.
“I…… waited.”
From the moment this fight began.
I waited solely for this moment.
[Activates ‘Weapon Summon(??)’.]
[Reproduces weapon, ‘Divine Sword Levatein’.]
[Weapon Reproduction Rate : 30%]
[Reproduction Duration : 10 seconds]
The moment he saw the Divine Sword Levatein revealing its appearance in my hand along with white light, the Supreme King's eyes opened wide.
“That is……!”
At the same time, the Supreme King's fist, which was rushing toward me, also had to be urgently withdrawn.
The Supreme King also intuitively felt that if he extended his hand as it was right now, his arm would be cut off just like that.
Whoooooosh──
There is no one in the World of Justice who doesn't know this weapon.
Also, whose weapon this is, as well.
“Don't tell me, you are……!”
“Do you recognize it now?”
Who I am.
And, who you messed with.
“Impossi-, impossible!”
From the Supreme King, who always acted like an enlightened immortal until now, a sincere scream of shock burst out for the first and last time.
Well, it's understandable.
Since I was the one who knew the meaning the name Cain held in the World of Justice better than anyone.
Whether the Supreme King struggled or not, the result was already decided, though.
“Enough, get lost now.”
Incredibly holy white light began to soar from the Divine Sword Levatein.
“No, no way……!”
“If it really made no sense, would something like this be possible now? Just accept it.”
“It cannot be!”
The Supreme King vomited a bestial roar mixed with a scream and began to form another hand seal.
“Barrier of Severe Cold.”
Along with that, an ice barrier condensed with the energy of severe cold rose up as if to protect the Supreme King.
“Do not try to judge my fate as you please, Postponer of Ruin!”
“Is that your last struggle?”
As the power of the Divine Sword Levatein gathered sufficiently, I gripped it and took a stance.
A sword that destroys the Demonic.
And cuts Magic.
In front of that, whatever move the Supreme King used was meaningless.
“This is the end.”
Whirrr-crash!!!
As the Divine Sword Levatein was swung.
Brilliant white light swallowed everything.
