Chapter 122 - 170 (4)
But because my blade had been stacked with three kinds of enhancements, the attack had shredded through his body.
"THIS WON’T BE ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ME!" The false king then elbowed the blade at full force, causing the blade to crack.
As he kept barraging the blade, the crack started to spread.
"Hold on." I ordered the fire hero sword.
Listening to my words, the blade had held together just when it was about to shatter.
Throwing a punch with all of my might, the false king had been launched slightly back.
’Boy. Do you trust me?’ The force armor asked.
With ragefilled eyes, I gave a slight nod.
’Then entrust your body to me.’ The force armor’s tone had shifted.
"Just do whatever you want." I grunted, "I WANT THIS FUCKER DEAD!"
’Wise choice.’
As soon as he spoke those words, metal started attaching to my skin.
My body no longer felt as if it was my own.
But there was an intense strength flowing through me as the armor grew sharper and fiercer, resembling a monster than a piece of armor.
[Your Physical has risen]...
The system repeated until it gave a different notification:
[Congratulations: Physical has reached maximum level]
[Your Stamina has risen]...
[Congratulations: Stamina has reached maximum level]
[Your Mana has risen]...
[Congratulations: Mana has reached maximum level]
[Blade Aura has improved]...
[Congratulations: Blade Aura has reached maximum mastery]
[Sword Technique has improved]...
[Congratulations: Sword Technique has reached maximum mastery]
My body then moved on its own, the mouth that appeared on the armor roared a screech:
"KYEEEEEEEEAARGH!"
Raising his hands, the false demon attempted to block but the blade had severed through both of his forearms.
"GGGRAAAAAAAAAUH!"
Stabbing the false demon through the chest, a hand of mine had let go as my unhanded punch had started punching rapidly.
"Orgh! Murhg! Argh!" The false demon cried.
"You look more like a demon than a human." The false demon grinned, regrowing one of his limbs before throwing a punch at the head of the force armor.
Sending me up flying through the air, he looked at me straight in the eyes but he shifted his attention elsewhere.
Sprinting towards Acro and Vertere, the false king was aiming his attack at them.
Throwing the fire hero sword at him, his back was skewered into the ground.
As I started to fall, my body threw a punch with devastating force.
The ground shattered as the false king coughed out blood.
Vertere had conjured a water barrier, protecting themselves from any harm.
Good, it may not be powerful but that should protect them from one attack.
Slowly rising up, I heard the noise of bones cracking.
This bastard was pushing his body to its absolute limit to the point of breaking his own body.
Well he isn’t the only one!
"GWWWWAAAAAAAARGH!" The force armor roared, my fist pommeled down into the ground.
Grabbing him by his skin, my hand lifted him up into the air.
Tucking his body, the false king had set himself free and ran away.
Just as I was about to reach for him, he dove straight into the lagoon of black soot.
What the, why did he do that–?
Suddenly, the figure of a man rose into the sky, the horns on his head had curled up into his eye sockets.
Immitting the powerful presence, a wide grin had appeared on his face.
"I have reached the epitome of a demon, with this much power I could even rival the demon king!" The false king laughed.
Flying towards me, his face remained calm as he threw a punch.
Foreseeing that the punch was aimed at my face, my body leaned slightly to the right but a powerful impact had sent me spinning in the air.
Shit, I was going further away from Incus!
With a loud roar, my body turned to face behind me and I thrusted the blade.
I was then sent flying back towards Incus.
Spinning in the air, I slashed downwards at the false king.
"...Check status." I strained my mouth.

As my eyes widened from the shock, the inertia from my downwards slash had been blocked by the demon’s pointer finger.
"...Take more..." I mumbled.
Listening to my words, the iron front he force armor had no longer attached to my skin but had dug into my flesh.
"AHHHHHHH!" I screamed in agony, as the metal was sinking deeper into my body.
Collapsing to the ground, the system spoke again into my ears but the interface had glitched:
[Error: Level malfunctioning]
[Your Physical has risen]...
[Your Stamina has risen]...
A wall of interfaces had appeared before my eyes, as the error message kept ringing in my ear.
Opening my mouth, I called for my status window and looked down at my attributes level which read:
「Attributes」
[Physical | lvl: 13 (+1.5)]
[Stamina | lvl: 12]
[Intelligence | lvl: 10]
[Mana | lvl: 3]
With every movement of my limbs, my flesh squished, I felt my skin ripping apart.
Gritting my teeth, I swallowed down blood.
"UUUUUURAAAAAAAHHHHH!" The armor roared, as its movements were slowly turning inhumane.
Swinging my blade wildly with incredible force behind every blow, the ground crumbled beneath me.
Dodging the attacks, the false king snickered:
"Is this all you’ve got to offer? How pathetic."
With swift movements, he circled around me before throwing a kick.
Bending my body all the way back, my spine creaked as it was forced to bend beyond its capabilities.
Dodging the kick, I countered with a swords slash in an unusual angle.
With an open palm, the false king blocked the blade.
However, the situation had changed, his face twitched as the flame the fire hero sword had exploded, sending the false king a step back.
Not enough, it’s not enough power...
"I NEED MORE!" I shouted.
