Artifact-Devouring Player Chapter 125

125
puff puff puff!

At almost the same time, an explosion was heard from the four troll brothers.

It was exactly the kind of sound you would hear when you were breaking a huge slab of frozen ice with a hammer.

“Ivan, how fast is it?”

Bam!

Sang-Hyeon smiled and placed the Mad Sword of the Demon King on the dead troll’s back.

I waited with my feet firmly on the back of their heads. That’s how the four troll brothers crossed the Jordan River.

Ivan has 30 seconds to decide on the next minion and send them out. His mind is going to be in a mess.

‘The skills I’ve shown you are extremely limited, so you’ll have to make a judgment based on that information.’

Sang-Hyeon was drawing Ivan’s next choice in his head.

You may wonder if everything in the world will go as expected.

If you know your opponent well, it is quite possible to make things go your way.

“Is this the best choice?”

“Okay. Who am I giving advice to now?”

Sang-Hyeon shrugged his shoulders.

Meanwhile, Freitas, who had been summoned like the four troll brothers, appeared in front of Sang-Hyeon.

Official name, Incarnation Freitas.

The living flame itself.

It seemed that he was deeply impressed by the fact that Sang-Hyeon had previously used freezing skills such as Cold Blast.

That makes sense.

The four troll brothers who were so proud were shattered to pieces while frozen, so it must have been deeply engraved in their minds.

‘Either Ivan doesn’t know the characteristics of a servant. Or he still looks down on me.’

Sang-Hyeon couldn’t understand Ivan’s choice, because Freitas also had a weakness to freezing.

The battle between fire and water or fire and ice was not decided from the beginning.

Fate is determined by which side has stronger firepower.

It was like the opponent’s attributes were eaten up by the one with much stronger energy. It would be more accurate to compare it to a fight for power.

But Ivan seemed to have more confidence in the incarnation of fire he possessed.

‘Freitas had a characteristic where if the internal freezing lasted more than 1.5 seconds, the flame bond structure would break.’

A weakness that has already been identified.

Sang-Hyeon has the means to precisely exploit that weakness.

Various status abnormality options. That is the asset of Sang-Hyeon, and the configuration that others cannot imitate.

『Full charging』

It went straight into charging.

Since Freitas is an incarnation of close range attacks, you had to approach him unconditionally.

Unfortunately, using fire breath like a dragon is not an option for Freitas.

“Hoo hoo hoo!”

Breathing heavily, Freitas began to charge towards Sang-Hyeon.

Perhaps because it was a huge flame burning brightly all over its body, the visual impact was certainly considerable.

But if the person watching is not intimidated, it will eventually become nothing more than a meaningless illusion.

‘More, more… … .’

While the charging state was being raised to the maximum, Sang-Hyeon waited without moving an inch.

“Kukuku!”

Freitas prepared to deliver a punch, his fists clenched to one side, like someone punching a punching machine.

Even if I only got hit once, I felt like my neck would turn or even be separated from my body.

‘more.’

Freitas has not yet come to a distance that would satisfy Sang-Hyeon.

To transmit the freezing energy deep into the body, you have to strike from as close as possible.

This is because the cold air from full charging, which causes extremely low temperatures, will be less likely to escape even for a moment.

It was Sang-Hyeon’s choice to prevent energy loss, and it was also a very risky strategy.

Of course, a second plan had already been prepared in case of failure. That wasn’t all.

“Kwaa!”

Freitas, who had come up to his nose, opened his mouth menacingly and stretched out his fist toward Sang-Hyeon.

Right then.

Shhhhhhh!

As the sound of a light strike was heard, Sang-Hyeon lowered his posture and passed under Freitas’ lower abdomen.

It was a possible lower-level move due to the height difference.

“nice……?”

That moment.

Freitas froze.

It’s frozen.

Still, Freitas was not fazed, since the duration was only one second.

Ivan, who had been watching, thought this was the moment and started teasing Sang-hyeon.

『Strategy』

I immediately cast the skill of Trickery, which had just regained its cooldown, on Freitas.

Then, the freezing time that was about to end was extended by exactly one second. A total of two seconds of freezing was completed.

“Kuhuhu?”

Freitas’ expression darkened as he sensed that things were going wrong.

But Ivan, unaware of his subordinate’s fatal weakness, still did not worry about the situation.

‘If you choose the wrong master, any subordinate will suffer.’

Sang-Hyeon took a steady attack stance in front of Freitas, who was frozen.

The moment the freezing duration passes 1.5 seconds!

Pushy profit… … .

The flame bond structure that held Freitas firmly together was broken.

Like a raw egg that has reached its limit of pressure and is now crushed!

Freitas’s flames quickly cooled, and at the same time his body itself shrank like a deflated balloon.

『Whispers of the Wise』

『Sword of Destruction』

He immediately unleashed the Sword of Destruction.

Since he had used the definite amplification skill called Whisper of the Sage, it was bound to be an even more destructive blow.

Phew! It’s falling off!

The wall burst as soon as the attack occurred.

And then, a bolt from the blue struck Freitas’ head with a cool ‘thunderbolt’ from the sky.

“Ugh.”

Freitas’s eyes closed and he began to stagger from side to side.

Not only was the wall force causing a stun-like stiffness, but the force of the wall itself hitting my head almost caused me to lose consciousness.

‘I have plenty of stamina.’

『Sword of Destruction』

『Sword of Destruction』

Sang-Hyeon stabbed the Sword of Destruction twice more with additional attacks.

But that’s okay, because I have enough saved stamina.

‘It’s visible.’

Freitas’ core was exposed after being hit by the Sword of Destruction not once, but three times in a row.

A blazing heart was visible through the gaping wound that had been coolly pierced by the previous attack.

“Haat!”

Using his remaining stamina, Sang-Hyeon thrust in the Sword of Destruction that he had once again created.

It was possible to use a fatal skill continuously thanks to the changed mechanism of cost consumption through skill enhancement.

Plop!

Along with the heavy feeling transmitted from the tip of the sword, the sound of Freitas’ life being snuffed out was heard.

“Kurrrrrr… … .”

Freitas tried to fall forward, belching black smoke as if looking at a piece of unburned firewood.

If you look at it from a human perspective, it was like having one’s heart ripped out, so no matter how hard one struggled, there was no way to survive.

And that’s not all.

『The Cursed Beheading』

As Freitas’ health rapidly dropped below 5.5%, Cursed Decapitation was automatically activated.

Crunch!

“… … !”

I saw it!

At the moment when the cursed beheading was activated, a demonic figure suddenly appeared in front of Freitas!

It was too vivid a vision of a demon to be a fantasy.

The devil with the sinister smile was holding a huge scythe covered in black light.

The devil decapitated Freitas with a single blow of his scythe.

Ivan’s voice was heard in panic.

Sang-Hyeon was confused in another sense. Was the beheading of the curse really like this?

But to Ivan or Freitas, who were watching, it seemed like this demon was ‘not visible at all’.

If I had seen that sight even for a moment, it would not have been a situation where I could just pass it by without saying anything.

For a moment, a chill ran down my spine.

Could what I just saw be a demon sent by a constellation or a deity?

So, isn’t it possible to ‘absolutely kill’ someone by cutting off their head, regardless of how much stamina they have left?

“If you keep nagging me, you’ll come out.”

“Then shut your mouth and let’s go next in line. Ha, you really are so talkative.”

‘As expected, they’re releasing the ultimate weapon.’

Since the response was within the expected category, there was no particular emotion expressed on Sang-Hyeon’s face.

Master K.

He is a kind of energy human.

It is a being that uses overcharged dungeon energy, befitting the characteristics of the dungeon called Break Spot.

What’s scary about these guys is that when a crack appears, they come out and bomb indiscriminately.

The closer you are to the dungeon, the faster you will receive energy, completing a large amount of energy charge.

Using his own body as a weapon, he unleashes powerful energy blasts or shockwaves in all directions.

This power is so great that a building that is hit directly can be blown away, leaving only the frame behind.

‘If that guy’s power is high, there’s no way a defensive sword can answer that. If he’s invincible, he’ll be able to hold out, but he’ll just wait in front of me.’

I drew some situations.

Blocking is an exception to the rule.

In the first place, the energy shock wave that Master Kay, or Kay for short, is pouring out is not something that can be blocked.

The energy shockwave, nicknamed the ‘Energy Cannon’, was essentially a cannon made of energy bullets.

If you block it, it won’t be blocked.

Either it will burst out with the blockage or it will turn into a rag.

Even if you get hit once, you will fall into the trap of ‘infinite knockback’ due to the air attack! You shouldn’t get hit.

‘Kay’s weaknesses are ultimately low mobility and poor hearing.’

It is necessary to make good use of Kay’s weakness of significantly poor sound coping ability.

If it were another player, it would not have been possible to use the appropriate skills for each minion that appears.

It was not self-praise, it was the truth!

Because players with such a variety of attack and defense options as Sang-Hyeon are truly rare.

‘A short-term war is ultimately a battle to see who can exploit weaknesses more reliably.’

The judgment has already been made.

Sang-Hyeon started to charge at full speed towards Kay, whose summoning was finished. It was a decisive move.

We need to catch this guy quickly so that Ivan can step forward himself.

This will greatly increase the value of the rewards and loot you can get from this dungeon.

Because there’s a clear difference between beating the final boss and beating the ‘last’ boss.

When Kay finished summoning and started chasing Sang-Hyeon’s location.

『Divided Illusion』

I just used the skill.

Unlike fantasy mediation, the reason I wrote a divided fantasy was simple.

The illusions created by the split illusions are fake, but they are treated as real because some of the mana has been added to them.

What I mean is!

Wheeing.

Just like now, when Kay uses ‘energy scan’ to detect the true and the false, she can mistake the fake for the real and rush in.

And Sang-Hyeon’s sharp design was immediately effective.

The next moment.

『The Dark Steps』

Sang-Hyeon used the Dark Step skill, which he had rarely used before, and completely hid the sound of his footsteps.

Sang-Hyeon had a skill that an ordinary inspector player could never have, or rather, should not have!
