BXBX NOVEL Chapter 866
Chapter 866
[The Supreme, Player Minhyuk, is flying toward Helenia, the greatest disaster in human history.]
[If Player Minhyuk cannot stop Helenia right here and now, then all elves and dark elves will die.]
[Player Minhyuk is holding two swords in his hands right now. You might already know this, but Player Minhyuk’s Dual Sword Technique is the ultimate technique that allowed him to cut down the envoy, ‘Viel,’ before.]
The Sword of Aeon was on his left, while the Continent Destroyer Sword was on his right. The two God-ranked swords\' blades glinted sharply in the sunlight.
[Dual Sword Technique.]
[Your attack speed has increased by 70%!]
[You can now use two swords. The swords’ attack power will not be affected or decreased!]
[Your skills’ power has increased by 1.4x!]
[The Dual Sword Technique’s effects will be triggered upon casting a successive attack skill, and the skill’s damage will double.]
Many hoped and prayed that Minhyuk’s ultimate skill would be able to pierce through humankind’s worst enemy and force her down to the ground. Everyone on the battlefield, including the commentators, kings, and emperors, focused on Minhyuk. Even Elven King Argon, who had just finished putting out the flames of the explosions, looked up at Minhyuk with a desperate look.
Then, the skill was triggered.
[Sword of Carnage.]
[The Dual Sword Technique is in effect!]
[With the Dual Sword Technique, your sword’s consecutive attacks will double!]
[You can attack your enemy 76 times per second!]
And immediately after that...
[Double Skill]
[Double Skill has a 1.2% chance of being triggered. Once triggered, it doubles the effects of the skill used.]
[The system cannot measure the skill’s power!]
[The system cannot measure the skill’s power!]
With this, he could cut Helenia down more than a hundred times per second. With this power, he felt he could also inflict grave injuries even upon the Fallen Wretched Emperor Brod and cut down one of the Eight Pillars.
Minhyuk was thrilled. With two swords in his hands, he swiftly passed by Helenia.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash–!
However, quite an unexpected set of notifications rang in his ears.
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack has failed.]
[Your attack...]
[Your attack...]
[Your attack...]
[Your attack...]
[Your attack...]
The more than a hundred attacks that he unleashed? All of them were a miss. Minhyuk fell into a panic.
‘What the hell is this...’
However, he quickly made an excuse for himself: ‘It’s probably because I did not have the effects of my buff dish. If I had used the skill right away with Overlapping Delight, then I would have been able to deal a huge amount of damage.’
Minhyuk was Athenae’s Supreme. No, that was what he wanted to believe. He loved and cherished food more than anybody else, but now, he had a responsibility to uphold. He had to be the Supreme because he had many people by his side. However, the attacks he believed had reached the pinnacle of power could not even damage his opponent.
‘Overlapping Delight? Bullshit. I am insignificant when compared to her.’
At this point, Minhyuk had already reached the stage of self-awareness. From the beginning, he knew there was a more than 300-level difference between them. Minhyuk might possess outstanding artifacts and vital skills, but that was also the case for Helenia.
A subtle blue light glowed around Helenia’s body. Perhaps that blue light was the shield that protected her and was probably the biggest reason why all of Minhyuk’s attacks had failed.
Disappointment and helplessness began to surge within everyone. At this moment, everyone realized the difference between the Eight Pillars and the players.
Ping–
However, one attack was able to cut Helenia’s cheek. Helenia raised her palm and touched the blood that was dripping down the cut on her cheek. She smiled. “You’re afraid.”
“...”
“You must feel suffocated and pressured. After all, this is the first time you have met a being you cannot reach no matter how many times you reach out.”
There was no point denying those words. No matter how hard Minhyuk struggled, he could not win against Helenia.
Helenia stared at the blood, the blood from the wound inflicted by Minhyuk’s attacks, on her palm. “However, I’ll acknowledge you for doing one thing. You were able to put a scratch on my body.”
Helenia stretched her hand out.
[The One That Could Not Resist has been triggered!]
[You will not be able to resist even if you have an invincible body that can ignore and resist all kinds of abnormal states.]
Her cold hand touched Minhyuk’s cheek. “An insignificant human being, a small and pitiful god and a child that leads mankind.”
“...”
Even if Minhyuk wanted to move, the activation of The One That Could Not Resist made him unable to do so. All he could do was shake and tremble.
Helenia wanted Minhyuk. She needed many things to awaken the power that was sealed within her, and one of them was taking away and absorbing someone else’s power.
‘He is a child that has received the protection of the Evil God, the Guardian God.’
This child would grow even further. Now was not yet the time. This child needed a driving force to grow even stronger. Many driving forces could help humans grow further. It could be a goal that they wanted to achieve, the will to live a better life, or perhaps anger and hatred toward something or someone. Of these, the one that could stimulate growth the most was anger and hatred. And Helenia intended to create this driving force for him.
“Watch. Watch and hate me.”
Helenia, who originally wanted to kill only the elves and dark elves, changed her mind. She was now thinking of killing most of the people here. She slowly waved her hand down toward the ground. Then, gravity suddenly increased by ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand times. When her hands pointed toward the dark elves, all of them were forced to get stuck on the ground.
“Kghhhhhk...!”
“Ughhhh...!”
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
They felt like earthworms stuck writhing on the ground as the powerful force appeared and pressed them down on the ground. But Helenia was not yet satisfied, so she pressed her palm further.
Crack, crack, crack, crack–
Like that, hundreds of thousands of dark elves died, turning into paste from the pressure she exerted.
“Stop. Stooooooop! Enough! Please, stop!” Jack cried out in rage and frustration.
This time, her hands pointed toward the elves.
“...” Argon gulped dryly.
Not long after, her hand waved, and the gravity around them increased, putting tremendous pressure upon the elves. This time, the area of effect was much more extensive than before.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack–
Argon felt extremely frustrated and helpless when he saw the elves die one after another. Not long after, it was his turn to get crushed by the overwhelming gravity and pressure.
Crack, crack–
Argon’s bones cracking and breaking from the pressure rang in his ears. But it did not end there. The overwhelming force soon spread toward the humans.
“Keoooook!”
“A, aaaaaaack!”
Blood dripped down their mouths as their bones slowly got crushed. Some of them even had their entire body plastered on the ground.
Helenia’s hands moved gracefully, like a conductor guiding an orchestra. Just like the flamboyant movements of a conductor, she raised her hands to the sky. At that moment, Minhyuk knew that millions would die once those hands fell.
[One of the Absolute Gods, the God that Rules Over All of the Armies, is glaring at you!]
[One of the Absolute Gods, the God that Loves to Cook, is glaring at you!]
[One of the Absolute Gods, the God who Does Not Know How to Back Down, is glaring at you!]
[One of the Absolute Gods, the God who lives for Someone, Leads Someone on the Right Path, and Protects Someone, is glaring at you!]
Several gazes focused and glared at Helenia and placed silent pressure upon her. However, Helenia was a being that far surpassed the Absolute Gods. She did not feel anything from their threatening gazes at all.
“You should all get lost.”
A black stream of energy shot out and engulfed the sky above her.
[The Absolute Gods’ vision has been blocked!]
The gods and the Absolute Gods could not intervene with the matters on earth without an opportunity or a justification. The only one that could interfere would probably be the greatest god, Athenae. However, even Athenae would not be able to use force directly. She could only lend her power or help in other ways.
Perhaps they indeed had no other way to overcome this crisis. The low-leveled humans, elves, and dark elves began to get crushed. At that moment, Minhyuk’s eyes swept over Argon, whose bones were being crushed as his body got stuck on the ground.
‘Argon...’
Argon was a precious friend that had been with him for a long time. When Minhyuk looked back, he saw Brod, Spear God Ben, and the countless precious talents of the Beyond the Heavens Empire stuck on the ground and unable to resist the powerful force pressing down on them. The only way for them to stop Helenia’s magic was to land attacks on her successfully.
‘Me?’ Minhyuk thought. However, he soon shook his head. ‘I can’t do it.’
Then, something surprising happened.
[The God of Origin Athenae looks at the only knight she has acknowledged and recognized.]
[God of Origin Athenae says...]
[Child.]
Minhyuk’s gaze fluttered to the sky above him as the gentle voice rang in his ears. The sky was clear and covered with darkness. However, a small gap in that darkness allowed a small light to shine on Minhyuk.
[Are you yielding?]
[Are you going to give up?]
[You’re not going to do anything?]
Those last words touched Minyuk. Was he going to do nothing? Would he just let everyone here die and wait for himself to get logged out?
[If you don’t do anything, then nothing will change.]
Those words struck Minhyuk’s heart deeply. His first few years of having an eating addiction were hell. He had put everything down and just waited for the day that he would die. But one day, he realized if he lived waiting for death like this, then he would die. Ever since then, he had done anything and everything that he could do. Even when everyone said it was impossible, he did everything he could. And finally, his eating addiction started to improve.
Impossible. It was a word one could only say if they had tried everything they could.
“You’re right.” Minhyuk looked at the sky wryly.
That was right. He had to do everything. Even if he could not resist and was left helpless in front of Helenia, he still had to find a way to break through the situation.
Then, at that moment, Minhyuk caught sight of Argon once again. Argon’s body was crumbling apart, and his breath was slowly becoming weak. However, Argon’s eyes turned toward Jack before turning back to Minhyuk. Then, Minhyuk saw his mouth quiver as if he was trying to say something.
‘The elves, please...’
Minhyuk knew that this was a sign of sacrifice. But Dark Elf Jack was one step faster than Argon. Jack thought that he should be the one who should die, not Argon.
[Sacrifice’s Incantation.]
[Only an Elven King or an elf with equivalent power can trigger the Sacrifice’s Incantation!]
[The elf will sacrifice himself to bring the Four Great Spirits down to earth!]
[Summoning the Great Spirits in places not rich in spirit mana will make it hard for them to exert their full power!]
[The Great Spirits are trying to borrow someone’s body.]
[They want a body that can withstand and endure their power!]
[They hope to reside in a body housing a pure soul or a body without greed!]
Four attributes appeared above them–a blazing flame, a steady land, a crackling lightning bolt, and a fierce blowing wind. Then, two of these attributes got sucked inside Minhyuk’s body.
[The Great Spirit of Wind is attempting to assimilate with you!]
[The Great Spirit of Fire is attempting to assimilate with you!]
[You are the only human that has received the recognition of the elves!]
[You have successfully assimilated with the Great Spirit of Wind!]
[You have successfully assimilated with the Great Spirit of Fire!]
[All of your stats...]
[All of your attack power...]
[Your resistance to abnormal statuses...]
[All of your skills...]
While the notifications constantly rang in his ears, Minhyuk felt a cool and refreshing wind blowing past him and making his hair flutter. Then, the wind swirled around Minhyuk and turned into a tempest.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaa–
Minhyuk’s hair and cape fluttered wildly. Then, his left eye slowly turned red while his right eye turned blue. Even while all of this was happening to him, he was still thinking about another body with which the Great Spirits could assimilate. Finally, he made his choice.
“Please lend me your strength,” Minhyuk said as he looked at the sky.
He was the first knight chosen and recognized by Athenae. She might have called Minhyuk to lend him a portion of her power. Athenae responded to his call.
[God of Origin Athenae bestows upon you ‘The One that Resists.’]
[You can resist and counter any abnormal statuses for two minutes!]
Of course, Athenae also knew who Minhyuk chose to assimilate with the Great Spirits. He was as strong as Brod, as fast as Spear God Ben, and as skilled as Great Demon Elpis.
[God of Origin Athenae has removed Viel’s Puppet Doll’s cooldown!]
“Summon Viel.”
[The Great Spirit of Lightning is attempting to assimilate with you!]
[The Great Spirit of Land is attempting to assimilate with you!]
[Viel’s Puppet Doll does not have any greed.]
[You have successfully assimilated with the Great Spirit of Lightning!]
[You have successfully assimilated with the Great Spirit of Land!]
Viel’s joints twisted into place with a click. Then, his eyes opened.
Blink–
The strongest and the most terrifying weapon had made his appearance.
