Chapter 84
[The Super strength skill has become Lv3. Duration of skill has increased.]
Yeah, it’s definitely a good thing that his skill leveled up at this time. However, this didn’t avoid the moment of destruction that would come after the skill. If we somehow raised the level within it, would he be able to withstand the aftereffects? Probably not.
However, while thinking about it, only his arms were moving diligently. The shock was delivered to the rock, and the rebound was a lot less than earlier. Every time the two giant hammers beat the rock, a huge crack ran over up it with a roar. Jung Si-woo was dominated with confidence that he could break the rock.
“Hooooooo!”
He quickly realized why the giant’s roar had become so huge. The power of its option that had been hidden so far was revealed. He didn’t know that the option would be the same as that of the Giant Wolf’s, but that was a good thing. Jung Si-woo had enough power to hold the two giant hammers in hand and swing!
[How the tombstone that holds my powers…!]
“You don’t have to give me any strength. What do you think? Do you admit it?”
It didn’t matter if the god admitted it. His voice would soon be out of touch here. Knowing the pain that would come after the use of his super-strength skill, Jung Si-woo hit the rock even faster. Eventually, the rock began to crack little by little.
[Surely your power is amazing. But do you really believe that breaking this rock will end everything?]
“I don’t believe it. I just want to break it down.”
[This is just a monument box containing my power. If you break this, my power will be released and spread! I will strengthen my servants that fill this space and provoke the foolish servants of Louisos! Because Louisos and I will never be compatible, I will destroy all the egos of those servants and gather their strength!]
Setnak brought up the Emperor guild in such a chaotic situation. Jung Si-woo looked up while swinging wildly. Soo Ah-rin’s shield was in danger. It would only be able to last another minute, and two of the weakest men of the Emperor guild were in the air mutating. It wasn’t very nice to see their whole body turning white and their wings breaking.
“Aggggkk. Louisos! You lied to us!”
“Master!”
Some of them, including the guild master Seria Wilson, seemed to be holding on, but she would reach her limit soon. As things were happening exactly as Jung Si-woo imagined, he began to feel some fleeting emotion.
“Should we prevent such a thing from happening even if it’s a little illegal in the future? Should I tell others about this extensively?’
Such a weak thought soon disappeared after raising its head. Jung Si-woo felt uneasy saying it, but humans were foolish. Even if the answer was presented before them, they never realized it until they went through it.
“Keuaaaaaaag!”
“The hostility against them…death, undead…!”
However, seeing humans turning into monsters again in front of their eyes made them feel even worse. Perhaps he should’ve been more proactive and prevented this in advance. He didn’t want to see that scene again. Yes, it was just that. What you can do, what you have to do, what you want to do, these things weren’t important. He felt bad just looking at it. So Setnak’s voice was even more irritating.
[You won’t change anything, child of incredible strength.]
“Shut up!”
He threw his hammer as hard as he could. There was a roar.
[Kahaaaaaaa!]
The rock broke down. The signs of god, preserved without wear and tear for countless years, had been broken by the hammer of a human. Naturally, the shock was delivered to Setnak. Of course, it was only a minor injury to his body, but pain was pain. Setnak howled in agony, but it sounded like he enjoyed it.
[Kahak, kk…that’s a lot of fun! The size of your mind is so small compared to the power you have! How is it different from a newborn baby that clings to the obstacles in front of it, knowing nothing will change!]
“You can’t even show up in person, but you still talk so much…!”
What he said wasn’t wrong. The tombstone, which served as a seal for several years, was quickly torn down, and the power of God contained in it quickly spread. Fortunately, it didn’t escape the barrier that Soo Ah-rin made, but…
[Keuaaaaa!]
[Setnak’s grace! Setnak’s power!]
[Setnak! Said to us! He will share himself with us…!]
“Eggggkkk…Oppa!”
The eyes of the undead changed. The pressure on the inside and outside of the barrier quickly increased, pressing down on Soo Ah-rin. She wasn’t going to last even a few seconds!
“Damn it…!”
The same was true in the sky. Some of the Emperor guild members, who were directly exposed to the atmosphere, turned completely into monsters. They ignored Marina and rushed to the ground to fight against the undead.
“Master, we have to kill all of them! Louisos is speaking. That’s what Louisos says!”
“You, you…Louisos isn’t our master, wake up!”
“It’s you, our master, who needs to wake up!”
Surprisingly, they kept their consciousness, but they weren’t themselves anymore. All their thoughts were reorganized around Louisos, and they were reborn as a faithful servant who only followed Louisos. He couldn’t call them human beings. They were nothing more than machines that moved as ordered.
“That man was right…shit, shit…!”
Only then did Seria Wilson realize her mistake, but at this moment, the same thing was about to happen to her. The mutilation of her body had already begun bit by bit…
[Get rid of his power. Stop his power from spreading on earth. The time has come to carry out the contract, my servant. You are mine, and you will soon be my representative. You have already accepted my power. You must act now.]
There was a voice that suppressed her judgment, thoughts, and desires, forcing the will of Louisos in its stead. It filled her with an overwhelming sense of fear that she might lose herself. There was nothing wrong with Jung Si-woo’s words to leave while she could still maintain her human form. It was regrettable that she ignored his advice just because he was Marina’s partner, but it was already too late. She would…
“That’s pathetic, Seria Wilson!”
Her consciousness awakened for a moment when she suddenly heard another voice. When she lifted her blurring eyes and looked forward, there was her arch-enemy, Marina Bisset, fluttering her brilliant feather wings before her. Holding a pistol and aiming at her neck so that she could take her breath away at any time, Marina spoke bravely and confidently. And as always, she looked down at her with a mischievous look.
“It’s a different power after all. You’ll get a stomachache if you eat something you’re not supposed to! Hurry up and let go of it. No matter how worse you are than me, you’re not stupid enough to be swayed by others!”
“Aghhh!”
She wanted to refute what Marina said; she wanted to make a hole in that pretentiously pretty face. However, no matter how hard she tried, her hostility was directed toward the undead who opposed Louisos. The more that hostility grew towards her, the more she wanted to crush the undead. As soon as she followed orders of the god, her will was going to be lost, and she would turn into a monster just as her guild members did.
“Ha, I can’t…”
“Ugh.”
Finally, Seria Wilson began to shed tears. Marina, despite her initial hostility, was also crying. The gun that aimed at her didn’t shake, but it didn’t fire either.
“I want to; I want to hit you…but, oh…!”
“Come on. You’re doing well. Why don’t you just hang in there? In the meantime, Si-woo will clear things up!”
“Uh, uh…you’re, always like that…!”
The idol of all players who had mastered the mana bullet skill and the first and only woman to acquire the class of a mana bullet Master. Marina Bissett’s shadow always covered her. The only thing she had ahead of Marina was that she built a guild. That’s what consoled her, and she was able to live on by saying that she would beat her someday.
But what was this? Marina brought a tremendous partner who smashed through the canyon alone, and her guild sank with the power of a god because of their desire to be strong. It was so pathetic and stupid. If this were a novel, they would end as a supporting role to never be featured on the character information page. Her anger was unbearable, growing than her fear and hostility.
“I’ll hang in there…!”
That feeling protected her from the power of God.
[My servant…!]
“Shut up…”
No matter how long she held out, things wouldn’t change that much. As long as she had the power of the god, this phenomenon would continue to run, and at any time, she ran the risk of collapsing. But even so.
“In front of her…I can’t fall apart…I won’t!”
It was her pride, the pride of a woman who resisted the power of God. It was ridiculous, but it was happening. Even if the last Emperor guild member became a monster and left her side, Seria Wilson stood there, flapping her wings. In that seemingly meaningless moment, a human being moving with exactly the same emotion as she acted.
“Hooooooooo!”
It was, of course, Jung Si-woo.
“Oppa?”
Soo Ah-rin cried out. As Jung Si-woo shouted, the god’s power inside the barrier began to decrease, but she couldn’t help but doubt her eyes.
[Your level has risen.]
[Mana has increased by 2]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[Mana has increased by 5]
“Oppa, what the hell…I thought you refused the power of God!”
“It’s not god’s power…!”
Jung Si-woo cried out. He breathed desperately as he had learned from Marina, absorbing the power of Setnak, who had eroded most of the mana in the area. He turned the Mana into his own as he yelled.
“This is…now my power…!”
[What…?]
It was the moment when the god’s power was stolen by a human.
