217. The usurper (5)
Kwaji Jijik… … !
Everywhere in the space of the divine realm <Seize> began to collapse.
Like cracked glass, scratches continued in the sacred realm with a crackling sound.
very quickly too.
It was worth it.
In fact, this Star Light is a Dragon God skill obtained on the 14th floor stage.
Seong-gwang is by far the best out of the external attack methods I have.
It even contained a lot of divine power reinforced by the myth <The Last Savior>, so it wouldn’t be strange if the entire divine realm collapsed.
But doesn’t the usurper think so?
[I never thought I would have this ability. ]
The usurper was greatly embarrassed to the extent that it could not be compared to before.
Of course, his face was dry, as if he had no emotion at all… … .
I was sure
That the current usurper did not have enough time to put emotion on his face.
I laughed at him.
‘I don’t have a proper mind, so I can’t even act out my emotions when the situation is urgent.’
For the usurper, the mind did not play a big role.
This was the information she found out through the battle with him and the will inherent in the divinity.
So far, usurpers have intentionally shaped their facial expressions and behaved as if they were feeling emotions through them.
I don’t know why he’s acting like he’s got the right feelings.
At least the icy face of the usurper was proof that the situation was very unfavorable to him.
In fact, as if he couldn’t let the sacred realm collapse like this, he immediately spread both hands and showed off his abilities.
gugg-!
In the blink of an eye, the incontinence of space that stretches across the sacred realm quickly disappears.
Maybe because it’s a realm he created, his ability to restore it is even better… … , the thought was only for a moment.
I narrowed my eyes at the phenomenon that happened a moment later.
It was worth it.
In the process of restoring the divine realm, mechanical parts that had been floating in the air suddenly moved.
And in the movement of these mechanical parts, I felt a wave of extraordinary power.
That too… … .
「The divine realm <Usurpation> is quickly restored by the myth of the god of usurpation <Destroyer of Machine Civilization>.”
That is, the wavelength in which divinity is inherent.
I never thought I would really use Shinhwa.
As expected, it didn’t feel too good nonetheless.
The fact that the usurper used Shinhwa means that he still has many tiles left to use in battle.
‘Destroyer of machine civilization, is it… … .’
It is probably a myth obtained by paralyzing most of the mechanical civilization on the 18th floor stage.
However, the effect of the myth was not so easily inferred.
The name of the myth is <The Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization>, but the ability to activate it is Restoration?
It felt incredibly different, but besides that, I received an unknown ominous feeling.
For some reason, <Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization> felt like I needed to be very careful.
Of course, it’s just pure intuition with no logical basis… … .
‘Even if there is no evidence, the fact that my intuition reacted means that I was careful and it wasn’t bad.’
I could trust my intuition based on sensory-type skills and effects as well as countless battle experiences.
So I decided to act as efficiently as possible.
The holy realm <Usurpation> is to be completely destroyed by activating the Holy Light once more.
This time, it was so intense that it left no form at all.
Keying-!
「The skill ‘Star Light Starlight’ is activated.」
In response, I immediately realized the starlight made of divinity.
Just like that, I tried to explode the holy light again in this spot.
However, the light did not explode as expected.
That would be too… … .
[ … … It’s unpredictable that there is an external means of attack, but I won’t lose face if I get hit like this. ]
Hung.
It is because the usurper’s eyes flashed and the holy light disappeared at the same time.
I was dumbfounded, frowning at him, but I soon understood why the holy light had disappeared.
It’s not different… … .
「Due to the divinity <trigger>, the ‘Attack Nullification’ effect exclusive to the Regressor’s Worn Watch (SSS+) is forcibly activated.」
[You’re in a corner, so you’re using all the divinity you have. ]
<Activation>.
The last divine power of the usurper was manifested.
Even though the condition of not being able to use the item was imposed by the divine authority <Rule>, seeing that it was used, it seems that <Activation> has the property of violating the <Rule>.
Even <Activation> did not deal with simple item activation.
“A temporary rule is created in the ‘Attack Nullification’ exclusive effect for the worn-out wristwatch (SSS+) of the regressor by the divine <Rule>.”
「Due to the divine <Rules>, the cooldown of the exclusive effect, “Attack Nullification” of the Regressor’s Worn Watch (SSS+) is temporarily removed.”
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s skill ‘Star Light’ is forcibly removed by the exclusive effect ‘attack nullification’ whenever it is activated.”

The cooldown of ‘Attack Nullification’, the exclusive effect of the Regressor’s Worn Watch, has been removed by <Rules>.
That wasn’t all.
Now, the worn-out watch of the regressor is forced to activate the attack nullification whenever the starlight skill is activated, erasing the starlight.
Seeing this, Dam Chun-wu muttered as if it were absurd.
—… … <Rule> and <Activation>? What kind of crazy divinity is this?
It was worth it.
<Rule> and <Activation> actually form a battle that is advantageous to the usurper.
When I looked at the information viewing authority, I wondered what the divine <trigger> was… … .
When I found out the contents, I was dumbfounded.
‘It’s a holy power that can forcibly activate an item owned by someone else.’
no.
Maybe not.
Perhaps the Divine Authority <Activate> is not an item, but it can forcefully activate even a specific ability.
When I thought about it, things didn’t feel good.
but… … .
[Still, I’ve already consumed all of the cards of the Divine Power. ]
Although slow, this also meant progress in the battle.
I closed my eyes at him and soon activated another skill.
A counter-type skill that was not often sought after acquiring the holy light.
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.」
I raised a shield of reddish magic and spoke in a cold tone.
[Let’s see how far you’ve hidden your cards. ]
From now on, it was the turn to accelerate the battle.
***
「Myth <Possibility of Transcendence> is activated.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon has the effect of <causal reversal>.」
“Reversing causality against an unwinnable enemy creates a ‘certain win causal rate’.”
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon is given the effect of <Sacred Rise>.”
“Every time you win against a godhead, the level of divinity of challenger Han Seong-yoon increases.”
“Each time you repeat victory, ascension gets closer.”
“Accordingly, special rewards are sometimes given when divinity rises.”
After activating the counterattack shield skill.
I quickly deactivated <The Last Savior> and activated <Possibility of Transcendence>.
Now, the strengthening of divine power that can be obtained through <The Last Savior> doesn’t work that much.
‘I can’t use the holy light, and most of my close combat skills are sealed, so I can’t help it.’
Even if you strengthen the divinity, it is not suitable for its use, so it is an efficient choice to activate another myth.
“Use Divinity <Observation>.”
「I read and foresee the opponent’s mythology and power activation in advance.」
And he even activated the divine authority of <Observation> obtained from the giant tree labyrinth.
Of course, the fact that he foresaw the activation of the opponent’s ability had a big effect, but the divine power quickly decreased… … .
As he experienced in the match against the Heavenly Demon, being able to read the opponent’s attack in advance has a huge advantage, so it was not a waste.
Soon after that, I looked at the usurper with my eyes narrowed.
He stared blankly at the counterattack shield and smiled anew.
[ I see. Is that the last ability? Aside from that starlight-like skill, there doesn’t seem to be any long-range attack method. ]
Pair, pair, pair… … .
The usurper applauded quite slowly, as if satisfied.
[I don’t think it’s been 40 years since I’ve fought so seriously. Sungyoon Han. Really great. However, if the only thing you can use in this situation is a shield— ]
and.
[This fight is my victory. ]
next moment.
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic ability ‘Spell Amplification (C+)’.」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Spell Acceleration (D)’… … .」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Magic Overlap (B+)’… … .」
「Eold Balkan, the god of usurpation, uses the psychic power “Magic Compression (A)”… … .」
oh oh oh… … !
Lines of magic spears appeared around the usurper.
The spears that were amplified, accelerated, and compressed by numerous superpowers contained tremendous power.
Maybe if I hit that attack right now with my physical ability reduced by 90%, my body would explode.
His voice became even clearer, as if the usurper was well aware of that.
[I look forward to how long you can block my attack with that ability. ]
Then, spears of magical power compressed to the limit were fired.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is activated.」
In response, I immediately activated combat concentration and accelerated the accident.
With the current physical ability, it is difficult to react at the moment because the cognitive ability is infinitely lowered.
So I need to borrow the power of combat concentration to raise my cognitive ability… … .
Actually, even this wasn’t that easy.
It was worth it.
‘… … My body is not in good shape, so even if I use a lot of concentration, my body is broken.’
Even if you increase your concentration to the limit of your combat focus skill, you do not have the physical ability to handle it, so abuse of your combat focus will lead to self-destruction.
But no worries.
I’m going to absorb all attacks into my counterattack shield while setting the thought acceleration ability of Battle Focus to a minimum.
Actually-.
Kwagwagwagwagwang—!
All the solid lines of condensed mana fired swiftly were annihilated by the extended counterattack shield.
It was the result of the shape transformation function and shock absorption function.
Of course, despite this, the usurper’s attacks did not stop, but it didn’t matter.
That would be too… … .
“Charging complete.”
「The skill ‘Counter Shield’ is in a state where the accumulated damage can be reflected.」
Originally, Counterattack Shield is a counter-type skill.
The more the shock piles up, the better it is, so there’s no reason to worry about a lot of attacks.
Before obtaining the holy light, I could tell because he often used a lightsaber as a counterattack shield.
A counterattack shield that absorbed shock to this extent could show the best performance.
[What else is that… … . ]
Now, the usurper also seemed to sense the anomaly when he saw the light flowing from the counterattack shield.
[ What is shock absorption and reversal? ]
He opened his eyes wide and realized the situation, and immediately built up a layer of protective film all over his body.
It’s also very colorful.
Not even that.
Soon, as if he was concerned about the collapse of the entire sacred realm, he activated his repair ability as before.
“The divine realm <Usurpation> prepares for restoration by the <Destroyer of Mechanical Civilization>, the myth of the god of usurpation.”
however… … .
「The exclusive effect <causal reversal> of the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> is strongly activated.”
“Due to the Myth <Possibility of Transcendence>, some of the Myths of the God of Usurpation are converted to unusable status.”
An unexpected situation has occurred.
<causal reversal>.
The effect of the explanation that it creates a ‘causal rate that must win’ is activated.
I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected effect, and then I heard the usurper’s bewilderment.
[What… … . ]
Watching his face harden like ice again, I invoked my divine power.
「Use Divine <Death>.」
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s activated skill is imbued with the power of divine <death>.」
Hey hey!
At the same time, black energy rose from the counterattack shield, revealing the power of the divine <Death>.
[If there are no more hidden numbers, I must die. ]
At that, I smiled thickly and released the shock that had been stored in the counterattack shield.
***
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
All the shocks accumulated so far were reflected, and the sacred realm <Usurpation> was greatly damaged.
It’s a pity that it didn’t completely collapse to the point where the divine authority <Rules> could be lifted.
The condition of the sacred realm was so serious that some of the broken spaces could be seen connected to the outside.
However, the usurper was not seriously injured.
Except for the fact that the divine energy flowing from his body had weakened considerably.
[The hound from the tower, you dare to enter my territory… … . ]
Was it because the blow containing the divine <death> was threatening?
A faint rage flashed in the usurper’s eyes.
It was only for a moment that I was surprised by the biggest emotional change I’ve ever seen.
[I’ll finish it. ]
Light with different colors flowed from the body of the usurper, and numerous system messages came to mind.
Coo-gu-gu-!!
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic ability ‘Emotion Transformation (SS)’.」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘Absolute Accuracy (S+)’… … .」
「The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic ability ‘Increase in technical perfection (A)’… … .」
“The god of usurpation, ‘Eold Balkan’ uses the psychic power ‘attack power square (S)’… … .」
[You have too many abilities. ]
I put aside the endless system messages.
Looking at the black wind rising from the usurper’s hand, I was convinced.
That’s the best power the current usurper can use.
Since even the myth was sealed by <Possibility of Transcendence>, the usurper probably doesn’t have more power than this.
Then hope is enough.
‘I can win if I hold on to the final resistance and evade well until the sacred area collapses.’
The divine authority <Discipline> relies heavily on the divine realm <Usurpation>.
In short, if the sacred realm is broken, the sealed skills can be used again.
Therefore, if you hold on to the special move with the last resistance skill and wait for the sacred realm to collapse, the chance of victory increases.
After setting up a battle strategy, I raised the tension.
however… … .
「The exclusive effect <causal reversal> of the myth <Possibility of Transcendence> is strongly activated.”
[ … … ? ]
A strange thing happened.
「Due to the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>, the divinity <Reverse Heaven> is forcibly used.”
<Causal Reversal>, an effect attached to <Possibility of Transcendence>, was activated again, and divine <Reversal> was used.
「Divine <Reversal> completely resists Divine <Rule> and Divine <Activation>.”
Even in the form of complete resistance to divine <Rules> and <Activation>.
Even the need to endure once with the last resistance skill was gone.
However, the usurper hadn’t noticed that yet, so he maintained his rage and wielded his power.
[ die. ]
Kwagwagwagwa… … !!
In the blink of an eye, the usurper’s hand swung and a black wind raged through the realm.
It made me laugh when I saw that it had enough power to destroy even the realm it had created.
It was probably intended to destroy me even by destroying the sacred realm.
But now there was no need to suffer.
Whoa!
Immediately, the two swords in his hands were wrapped in sword steel, and then he activated numerous skills to increase his power.
There was no worry about power consumption.
Because of the punishment skill, I am currently in a state where no matter what I do, my magic power is not consumed.
At that, the usurper’s pupils shook violently.
[What else is this… … ! ]
but.
「Authority ‘Shunbo’ is activated.」
「A cooldown is given to the power for 10 minutes.」
「Consumes divine power to instantly move to the desired point within sight.」
Before he could even open his mouth, I immediately activated the cooldown of Money Shunbo.
「The special power ‘Evil Eye’ is activated.」
「Specify a target and create a compulsory weakness.」
After using the Forced Weakness Creation skill acquired while obtaining Divine <Death>.
As it was, he stabbed his sword into the black dot in the usurper’s heart.
Aww… … !
and.
“Congratulations, you have broken through the 18th floor of the Tower of Trials.”
“As a breakthrough reward, ‘Ussaucer’s Leather Gloves (SS-)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“You have acquired ‘150,000 points’ as a breakthrough reward.”
「You acquired ‘10,000 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.」
“You acquired the skill ‘Shock Reversal (B+)’ as an additional breakthrough reward.”
“As an additional breakthrough reward, ‘Superior Combat Cyberware (A-)’ will be sent to your inventory.”
“Go to the waiting room.”
The 18th floor ordeal is over.
