"It was bound to happen eventually."
Jas’s scoffing voice echoed. I sighed and stood up. Did he really think I had collapsed?
"What was bound to happen?"
Whoosh, thwack!
I instantly closed the distance and thrust my sword. He wouldn’t be able to dodge it!
[Vane Severing Sword Style - Naless Thrust]
"It distorts."
He surprisingly recognized my sword attack. His skin beca three-dinsional like polygons, then began to distort.
The mont my sword was about to be absorbed by his transford appearance.
Thwack!
Thanks to my title, I was able to deal damage to him. Jas, whose left chest was pierced, frowned.
"Tsk, why?"
"I told you. I ca to judge you. The Lord is with , you fucking son of a gay."
"Hoo..."
I dragged the sword downwards, still piercing his chest. Even he wouldn’t survive this!
Thwack, slice!
Jas collapsed, spewing blood. The mont he fell, his form changed like a heat haze, then turned into smoke and vanished.
"Huh?"
Jas reappeared a short distance away. He stretched his arms out to his sides and grinned.
"Behold, isn’t this the ssiah you humans desire?"
"No, it’s pathetic when you say that, given you’re just relying on your gear."
This bastard, despite his words, resurrected. Was it really a resurrection?
I clearly thought I had killed him.
He pointed at .
"And you yourself aren’t dead. I thought you were."
"You don’t seem very surprised anyway."
"Because I knew."
"Tch, was my acting clumsy?"
"No, it’s just that I feel like I understand the power of what you possess."
Is this bastard evolving like Lao? What does he even know?
"Alright, farewell."
I closed the distance without even revealing a hint of my presence. I swung my sword.
Jas’s neck was cleanly severed. But he once again turned into smoke and reappeared nearby.
"Behold, I have resurrected like a ssiah."
"I told you not to make those kinds of jokes."
I clicked my tongue and gripped my sword with both hands. Connecting it to last ti, I could guess his ability.
"That guy, he’s manipulating reality. Like when he turned people into flower petals last ti. And now, he vanished and reappeared by distorting his wounds, didn’t he?"
It was clearly a wound that would have killed him several tis over. But now, his appearance was pristine.
As if he had never been wounded.
A sigh escaped .
"What a convenient power. He even tried to instantly kill earlier. Annoying."
If I hadn’t been invincible, I would have truly died.
In fact, this was also a matter of compatibility.
If I were a diverse mage, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with him.
Because it would just be a matter of overwhelming him with output. But for a warrior who prioritizes speed, it was a handicap in itself.
"He distorts reality. How do I deal with him?"
Jas’s eyes glead as if looking down on .
"Are you already scared? After seeing resurrect?"
"Resurrection, my ass. You cult bastard."
I caught my breath and ran forward. As I charged, cutting through the wind, he glared at .
"Bend."
My neck suddenly bent sideways. But it was only to the extent of a neck exercise, so it wasn’t painful or threatening.
"Nope, doesn’t work."
Just as I was about to thrust my sword at him.
"Bend."
"I said it doesn’t work."
"This ti, it’s not you."
Taaaeng!
Suddenly, a streetlamp bent like taffy and blocked my sword. As I cut through the streetlamp, Jas shrewdly retreated.
Regardless, I kicked off the ground again, closing the distance. If he blocks once, is that the end of it?
[Vane Severing Sword Style - White Lightning]
I unleashed my fastest attack. Jas shrugged.
"Rise."
This ti, the ground rose up, blocking the space between Jas and . Jas sneered as he saw my sword stuck in the risen ground. As I was about to pull out my sword and move, sothing struck from behind.
Thwack!
I tumbled forward. Of course, it didn’t hurt.
I looked back and saw that the streetlamp I had cut down had extended and hit in the back of the head.
Ha, how absurd. He can do things like that too?
"But it doesn’t hurt. I just fell from the physical force. Is this the power of invincibility?"
My body continued to glow golden. Jas pointed at , making a strange expression.
"That sword is protecting you."
"No, the Goddess is protecting . An!"
"Even better. I’ll finish you off along with that god."
"Why do cult bastards all have such big dreams? Just like politicians lining their own pockets."
I walked lightly. Speed battles or whatever, even if I cut him down, even if I killed him, if he distorted reality, there was no answer.
"Yes, there’s no answer. But what if I make him unable to use his abilities? This tactic is unfamiliar even to , though."
First, I needed to lay the groundwork. I wouldn’t die to him. And he wouldn’t die to either.
Then, in the end, I’d have to win with my wits.
I charged again. He waved his hand like a conductor and shouted.
"Bend, and twist!"
He began to distort and use things around , not myself.
Streetlamps bent and struck, the ground caved in to obstruct, or even the branches of roadside trees tried to entangle my limbs.
Everything in the world distorted according to Jas’s will, trying to hinder .
Jas, moving all of this, seed like the embodint of evil.
Whoosh, thwack!
I stepped on a streetlamp trying to block my path and rose into the air. Then Jas bared his pearly white teeth.
"Grow and seize!"
The relatively intact roadside trees all simultaneously extended their branches, trying to bind .
The way they extended their branches like ghosts with their own will was grotesque, like alien creatures.
The mont the branches tried to snatch like tentacles. I flew using magnetism and swung my sword in all directions.
After cutting down all the branches, I started flying around like crazy, riding on the Dawn. My speed was supre!
"Full speed ahead!"
As I flew around, Jas couldn’t track my movents. I shouted, as if teasing him.
"This too is a nerf... No, why don’t you try to catch ? Try to catch !"
As I flew around frantically, I heard Jas’s flustered laughter.
"This is just a child’s prank!"
"Scared?"
"Hmph... Stick and block!"
Nearby buildings suddenly grew massive and began to sprout up like mushrooms after rain.
As if predicting where I would pass and trying to block .
Jas even forcibly rged the buildings, trying to create a complete barrier.
"He’s trying all sorts of things. Does he think I’ll be stopped by this?"
I clung to the frantically flying Dawn with both hands. And I thrust my sword towards the buildings in sight.
[Vane Severing Sword Style - Pruning]
After smashing all the building walls, I spotted Jas, who was 1m away.
If I’m going to aim, now’s the only chance!
"No matter how strange the power he wields, his true form is still human! Just one hit, please, just one hit!"
I spun splendidly in the air, batting away all the flying buildings and branches.
And I tried to land towards Jas and thrust my sword with all my might.
This distance, this ti, as I floated in the air and flew towards him.
It was complicated and arduous, like passing through hell.
The closer I got to him, the more everything around bent and twisted grotesquely.
The whole world seed to reject , trying to block my path. Just as everything around united to beco a thick barrier.
"In the Goddess’s na, victory!"
With the descending speed and weight imbued in my sword, I thrust it towards the twisted barrier blocking the space between Jas and . Imbuing the sword with ki.
"Dawn Guardiannnnnn!"
The Dawn Guardian, shimring with a more intense light than ever before. I swung the Dawn Guardian with all my might.
The twisted barrier instantly vanished. Jas was also split in two, but he calmly returned to normal.
"You’re facing the world now! Not just ! And I am the ssiah. Didn’t I tell you such attacks wouldn’t work on ?!"
"Enough, just go."
The mont I landed, I spun around and swung my sword. The entire upper part of Jas’s mouth was severed.
As it was being cut, I could see cells regenerating at super high speed and reattaching.
"How regrettable. This is the end. Be severed."
He began to manipulate space, just as he had blocked my first attack earlier. He cut space piece by piece, trying to stop .
To prevent from approaching further.
Additionally, he forcibly accelerated the growth of nearby roadside trees, seemingly intending to entangle .
"If I can’t kill you, I’ll seal you! O Hero of the Devil!"
But he didn’t know. My move. That it was a distance I could reach even by swinging my sword.
Moreover, his spatial cutting was clumsy, so I just slipped through by trusting my invincibility and putting my body through it.
"Is space a separate domain, so you’re clumsy with it?"
[Vane Severing Sword Style Ultimate Skill - Sparrow Drop]
Jas scoffed again. Believing he would return this ti too.
But that had a weakness, didn’t it?
"Brainwash!"
Instantly, I activated the necklace’s effect and brainwashed him. It was only one person, but I could definitely brainwash that one person! I pointed at Jas and commanded.
"Even for a mont, it’s fine. Forget the power of the ring, and dance the Cocaine Dance!"
At my command, Jas, as if by magic, began to dance the Cocaine Dance. Although it wasn’t a dance suitable for a man.
It didn’t matter. Simultaneously with his flustered expression, death ca for him.
Jas, torn to death in multiple pieces. His ring no longer glowed. No, it couldn’t glow.
[Enemy defeated!]
[Acquired 25000 Collector Points (CP)!]
Points ca in. This ans he’s truly dead!
I inhaled, looking down at Jas, who was vanishing into light. He spoke until his last mont.
"Just as the Lord bestowed Kahlum upon us, just as He made Kahlum through blood! I will not die. I am...!"
And then there was nothing. He simply vanished, leaving only the ring behind.
Clink!
I picked up the ring he left behind. Looking at its specs, it was incredible.
