Artifact-Devouring Player Chapter 100

Sang-Hyeon, who entered the battle in a state of frenzy, was targeting Grabber’s right arm from the beginning to the end .

The left arm is a half-arm specialized only for using grab skills.

In order to deal with the target you have dragged in, it is essential to utilize the blade on your right arm.

So if you can disable his right arm, there’s no way to do anything about it even if you forcibly summon him.

‘It’s no wonder why there are so many cases of players falling for the temptation of drugs.’

Sang-Hyeon realized it with his madness skill.

What is the pleasure of being intoxicated by something and having your senses become clearer and more heightened?

Even though time didn’t really slow down, the flow of time in the world felt infinitely slower.

In the battle with Grabber, all the sweat, blood, and everything fell and scattered like a slow-motion video.

Even the action of the grabber extending his arm to use the grab skill was split into frames.

So, it became an avoidance.

The grab skill is basically designed to grab a target in a horizontal straight line.

However, Sang-Hyeon avoided the grab several times by narrowly straying from the straight line.

Once you use your turn, it’s natural that your opponent’s turn will also go to you.

Grabber’s failures led to Sang-Hyeon’s counterattack, and he had to give up his right arm several times in return.

At first, the right arm and shoulder withstood Sang-Hyeon’s heavy attacks.

But as the persistent attacks continued for more than five minutes, increasingly strange signals began to appear.

Sang-Hyeon’s over-psychedelic state was at its peak with 3 minutes left.

Got it! Crack! Got it! Crack!

[Kwaaah! It hurts!]

As they say, there is no tree that won’t fall after ten strikes, Sang-Hyeon’s attack of striking only one area with sternness shone through.

Grabber’s outer skin, which was increasingly damaged, began to crack, and eventually a sword was stuck in it.

The fourth attack cut off half of the shoulder thanks to a well-placed critical damage.

The wound was so deep that the white bones were exposed, and the torn muscles and blood vessels were horribly exposed.

Kuwaaah!

At that moment, I felt the presence of Isehwa’s magic skill flying towards me from behind.

Usually, you would look behind you, even if only with a sidelong glance, or take defensive measures and evade in advance to secure a position.

“… … .”

Sang-Hyeon was able to predict the skill’s location just by determining the distance from the sound he heard.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

As it turned out, Lee Se-hwa was aiming for the grabber in the form of a straight strike, not a parabolic one.

‘please.’

Lee Se-hwa clenched his teeth as he watched his skill fly with all his might.

Honestly, I’ve never seen an attack like this before.

Without looking back, you just sense the skill location and decide to avoid it?

It was impossible.

The biggest problem with this move is that if it fails, it becomes the worst move of attacking your own troops instead of your enemies.

It may be possible in theory, but I have never tried it in practice.

There was no player in the inspection world with that kind of ability.

But it wasn’t Sang-Hyeon.

He continued to fight and made judgments about his skills, and he showed fantastic timing.

He also intentionally held the grabber until just before the skill’s arrival and impact time.

It’s the same now.

In the midst of the melee with Grabber, Sang-Hyeon moved his left hand behind his waist and showed his thumb, which was the signal.

It was a set sign to believe in yourself and use your most powerful skill number 1.

‘Calmly, but crazy.’

Lee Se-hwa wanted to express the current Sang-hyeon in that way.

On the outside, he had an extremely cold expression on his face, so much so that you couldn’t even sense any emotional disturbance.

Sang-Hyeon showed countless moves that seemed to surpass his limits as a player.

Just by dodging the grab skill, Lee Se-hwa personally witnessed it seven times.

When Lee Se-hwa was accidentally dragged away earlier, there was only one thing I felt while watching Grabber’s grab skill.

Something you know but can’t avoid.

I was convinced that it was so difficult to react to that there was no way to avoid it.

However, from the moment the crimson aura surrounded Sang-Hyeon, his confidence was shattered without a trace. Sang-Hyeon dodged!

Right then.

Adding a little lie, at the point when Lee Se-hwa’s skill was less than 50cm away from reaching Sang-hyeon’s back.

Paat… … !

Sang-Hyeon, who had entered a state of acceleration, used a back step to quickly escape from his original position in a different direction.

It was a situation where it was certain that the skill would have been reversed without any consideration if the reaction had been delayed by even 0.01 seconds.

Phew!

A skill strike full of Lee Se-hwa’s pride and passion struck the center of Grabber’s chest.

It was a hit.

A fiery red flame shot up, creating a hot pit of heat in the center of Grabber’s chest.

[Hot! Kwaaaaak!]

Grabber screamed.

“Ugh. Ugh.”

The moment when Lee Se-hwa staggers on her loose legs while clutching her pounding head.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

A familiar voice was heard.

When I looked back, Jo Jin-ho, Shin Tae-ri, and Kim Mi-so had arrived.

It seemed that he had come to help himself and Sang-Hyeon, after clearing up some of the fighting on other fronts that had intensified.

“Rather than me… … .”

Lee Se-hwa pointed to the front.

It was true that in the battle with Grabber, he had only used attacks that were completely comfortable.

Sang-Hyeon blocked Grabber’s tricky skills early on, and in the worst case scenario, he even dragged him away instead.

Who deserves to be worried about someone?

From the perspective of someone who experienced both the beginning and the end of the battle, I thought there was no such thing. The main character is not me.

At Lee Se-hwa’s gesture, Kim Mi-so immediately found Sang-hyeon and shouted.

“Sang-Hyeon oppa is over there!”

The following situation has already occurred:

Sang-Hyeon, who had completely taken the upper hand with Lee Se-Hwa’s attacks, unilaterally pushed Grabber forward.

Blood sprayed like flower petals along the tip of Sang-Hyeon’s greatsword, which he swung ceaselessly as if he had fallen into a state of trance.

The attack of Sang-Hyeon, who continued to cut down like a Möbius strip centered around Grabber, was close to dismantling it.

Wherever the greatsword passed, skin was torn, muscles were torn, and flesh was scattered.

The blood that poured out in the process was so obvious that it was hardly surprising.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Jo Jin-ho and Shin Tae-ri were silent.

Sang-Hyeon was in such a state of frenzy that just looking at him gave me goosebumps.

It was visible in their eyes.

This means that Sang-Hyeon has surpassed his limits and has entered a state of transcendence.

I already knew that Sang-Hyeon had an awakening skill.

However, the awakening effect caused by the awakening skill was now at a level that far exceeded the awakening effect by several times.

For example, awakening.

A skill that further increases the effect of awakening.

The awakening skill was so rare that even Jo Jin-ho and Shin Tae-ri did not possess it yet.

Of course, Frenzy wasn’t an awakening skill, but it was effective enough to be considered on the same level.

What if you have less than 10% health and still have enough mana?

Theoretically, it is possible to utilize a state of near-infinite frenzy. There is no end to it.

Jo Jin-ho said.

“I guess there’s nothing for us to do.”

Sang-Hyeon was already destroying the grabber.

Grabber continued to struggle, swinging his right arm and hitting the body in an attempt to torment him.

Sang-Hyeon dodged all the attacks beautifully, as if the concept of time did not exist.

[Save me! Save me! Please!]

Even Grabber’s humiliating cries were heard telepathically.

In the end, it was the most pathetic and shameful sight of a boss monster begging for its life.

* * *

‘I think I know why Do Kyung-soo said in the past that psychedelics are a skill that makes blood beautiful.’

Sang-Hyeon laughed.

I was proud and happy just to have the boss monster experience the bottom of the abyss.

Grabber’s fate also ended when he lost his right arm, armed with a sharp blade.

Because it was a loss so serious that it was no different from Sang-Hyeon losing his greatsword.

Sang-Hyeon’s remaining health is about 3%.

It certainly wasn’t leisurely.

It was a tightrope walk that would have left him at least in a state of exhaustion if he had allowed Grabber to land just one attack.

There are no ifs in battle.

Grabber failed to make the if a reality, and in the end, the only choice he accepted was defeat.

[Big, big, big… … .]

Grabber’s neck swayed from side to side as if he was watching reeds sway in the breeze.

The head, which had been cut off halfway by the endless barrage of arrows, was on the verge of being separated from the body.

『Whispers of the Wise』

『Full charging』

After strengthening the skill with the Whisper of the Sage, I aimed for Grabber’s neck with a short, full charge.

It was a spectacular finale, as the question was not whether or not one could kill, but how to kill.

Puhwaaaaak!

A fountain of blood spurted skyward from Grabber’s severed neck.

For the first time since his return, Sang-Hyeon thought that the fountain was beautiful.

It felt like a celebratory gun salute to victory. It was definitely a feeling of being intoxicated by the madness of madness.

‘That’s a really great skill.’

Frenzy skill.

Not only does this guy push the boundaries, he also has a trait that makes him numb to pain and stimulation.

It was such a powerful skill that I wondered if it was really something that could be obtained at my current level.

If I were to reflect on the experience, in a frenzy state, it felt like I was at least a level 300 player.

That state could be maintained indefinitely, assuming that Sang-Hyeon perfectly manages his physical strength.

[The Heavenly Emperor is deeply impressed by your strength. He evaluates you as having a powerful force that will become the gatekeeper who will protect the order of heaven.]

[The slaughter hunter is intrigued by your cruel hands. He feels a strange attraction to you, who is extremely emotionally restrained.]

[The ancient swordsman fixes one of his ten eyes on you. He watches you.]

“……haha.”

I felt a sense of pride that needed no further explanation.

The constellations I had never seen before appeared in large numbers and left messages.

It was a testament to how deeply curious the battle with Grabber had been.

That’s how dramatic it was.

Because the constellations have no interest in the narrative of dull fights or battles.

Sang-Hyeon asked.

“Are you okay?”

It wasn’t a remark made specifically to refer to someone. It was more like a monologue to oneself. But somehow it ended up with a question mark?

[The Storm God is pleased with his vision. He considers it a magnificent battle that he can boast about to other gods.]

[The God of Storms bestows upon you a special title created with divine power, filled with great anticipation.]

“The title of… the Lord of the Left?”

There is no way to know whether the being who created the title is a constellation or a deity.

But if you think about it logically, if it was a title given by the divine throne with divine power, the effect would not be ordinary.

At that moment.

[SS-rank title, [Illusion Tuner] is granted.]

In the title window of Sang-Hyeon, a title notification appeared that was not only golden but also sparkling in a variety of colorful hues.

SS-class title!

It was the appearance of a rare title that would make your heart stop just by looking at the mentioned grade.

Fierce fighting and chaos.

The fruits of battles filled with tireless fighting spirit and passion were so sweet.
