Book 19: Chapter 3 (5)
The damage done by [Violent Splash] was greater than Shin had expected. And the effect of stimulating the affinity of attributes triggered by [Shimmering Dark Night] had both the aspect of strengthening the monster’s strong attributes and making its weak points more pronounced. The risk was that a misstep could result in being overrun by the enhanced monster, but, if one was strong enough to beat it, it could be defeated more quickly by exploiting its weak points.
Shin sheathed ‘Scorching Blade’ and braced ‘Still Water’ with his unoccupied left hand.
After the third move, it became a full-on tussle.
Gods weren’t so kind as to remain on the receiving end.
Taking advantage of his newly enhanced attributes, Iira Suura set his entire body ablaze. The intense heat wave slowly scorched Shin’s heat-resistant cloak.
His mere presence reduced the beings around him to ashes. The current Iira Suura was truly the incarnation of divine fire.
Now it was just a matter of whether Shin would be the first to whittle down Iira Suura’s HP or whether Shin would be the first to be burned to a crisp.
Seeing the ground beginning to melt with a side glance, Shin swung ‘Still Water’.
[Violent Splash] was a skill that remained in effect for a certain amount of time, so once activated, it could be prompted in an attack a number of times. The series of slashes released in succession turned Iira Suura’s huge body into water and chipped away at it as if to hollow it out.
