Shin exchanged a few more blows against Ken Asesino, who was giving their best to fight him. Unfortunately, despite the overwhelming difference between their stats, they were still unable to pose any threat to Shin.
Instead, they were the ones who were repeatedly suffering. Their Health Points were steadily dropping as they were unable to withstand most of the sword techniques that Shin was showcasing.
They were repeatedly getting hit, which chunk a massive portion of their HP Bars. If not for their having insane Health Points, then they would have most likely gotten killed earlier, especially when they did not have the sa level of toughness and tenacity as Berdugo, who was the main tank of their group.
In just a couple of minutes, both Ken and Asesino were almost reaching their limits. Seeing that they could no longer withstand any more exchanges, the two looked at each other and tacitly agreed with their previous arrangents.
They felt that Berdugo had created enough distance by now, especially when that guy exhausted all his speed-boosting skills and positions he had in his arsenal.
Asesino did not hesitate for a second as he unleashed all his speed-boosting skills to escape.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He transford into a dark shadow that dashed toward the depths of the Plague Lands without looking back.
Ken, on the other hand, gathered all the plague energy from the surroundings and channeled them toward his katana.
Whoosh!
He then pointed the katana toward the sky while chanting a series of eerie mantras, summoning an image of a hideous monster above him.
His HP Bar also dropped at a visible rate, which signified that he was sacrificing his Health Points in exchange for this powerful skill.
anwhile, Shin ignored Asesino as there was only under a minute before his ’Graveyard of Sword’ Domain Skill ended. He did not have the ti to chase after that guy, especially when Ken before him was the imdiate threat that he had to take care of first.
Moreover, that power presence was also starting to affect his senses to a certain degree. Given that this person did not appear up until now, Shin knew that his initial guess was right – the other party had mostly likely been unable to interfere with the current situation due to a certain reason.
Huu~!
Taking a deep breath, Shin adjusted his breathing rhythm and summoned the twin tigers, Blackie and Whitie for their respective Elental Spirit Possession.
"Dark and Light Reapers!"
At the sa ti, he also changed the form of the [Yamato], swapping it with its twin sword form – the Dusk and Dawn Blades.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
’Elental Spirit Possession (Dark): Abysmal Conqueror’
’Elental Spirit Possession (Light): Sacred Vanquisher’
The two elentals possessed the twin swords respectively, changing their forms. Explore more stories at empire
Shin twirled the sword side to side, leaving beautiful arcs in the air, as he gathered the powers of the Abyssal Moon and Brilliant Sun in them.
It had been a while since he had summoned these powers in battle, which was why there was so awkwardness in his movents when controlling them.
But he did not have the choice as he wanted to try sothing.
With the help of the ’Graveyard of Swords’, which was able to enhance his insights and understanding of the Sword, Shin focused his mind while controlling the two opposing powers.
He moved the swords in opposite directions before stopping when one of them was pointing toward the sky while the other was directed toward the ground.
At the sa them, he utilized the five-elental breathing to the fullest while summoning the five elental powers that he possessed – the Eternal Fla, Primordial Waters, Natural Wood, tallic Earth, and Earthen tal.
These powers took a different form from one another before positioning themselves behind him and forming a unique formation.
Using the Powers of the Abyssal Moon and Brilliant Sun as the center, these five elents moved and rotated with a certain cycle. They gradually gained montum, spinning rapidly behind Shin while accumulating more energy from Shin.
Roar!
Ken did not know what Shin was planning. But given the scary storm surrounding the latter, he did not hesitate as he swung his katana with all his might and released all the accumulated plague energy that he had gathered.
Roar!
The monstrous image behind, which was made of the densest plague energy, also opened its mouth while charging at Shin with full aggressiveness.
…
Shin stared at the incoming monster made of plague energy with calm eyes before releasing all the accumulated energy that he had collected.
The five elental powers rged before fusing with the intertwining powers of the Abyssal Moon and Brilliant Sun.
They ford a spiral storm that shot toward the sky.
Swoosh!
The sky seed to have been affected by this power. Dark clouds gathered as a thunderstorm started to appear alongside it.
The wind blew violently, making the surrounding trees shake intensely, while the ground trembled as if signaling the impending earthquake.
Shin had created another ultimate move with his elental powers, but slightly different from the ’Ragnarök’ as he was using all the accumulated knowledge and insights that he had learned and achieved about the five elents and the principles of duality and unity instead of relying on the powers of his Elental Spirits.
Thus, he had nad it-…
’Ultimate Elental Skill (Self-Created): Armageddon’
Boom!
The storm of elental energies shook the entire place. They ripped even the space and annihilated everything that they ca in contact with.
Shin, who was standing in the middle of all of these, maintained his posture. The elental storm beca more violent as more ti passed.
Even the eerie and hideous fog monster created by the densest plague energy was shredded into pieces before slowly dissipating. It did not even manage to reach its target as it was imdiately destroyed by the other layer of the elental storm.
Ken, who was only hanging by a thread by relying on surrounding plague energy, could not escape as the range of the elental storm grew larger with every passing second.
The plague energy that was originally filling the air and constantly corrupting the surroundings was also erased by this storm, which sowhat ’purifies’ the surroundings.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The whole storm lasted for only a whole minute but the destruction that it had left behind was so devastating that it only left a massive crater behind.
Everything was erased, only leaving Shin, who was standing at the center of the giant crater.
With such a powerful storm, it couldn’t go unnoticed, especially when this place was only a couple of miles away where the gathered players were resisting the horde of plagued monsters.
But Shin threw all of it at the back of his head as he walked toward Ken, who miraculously survived for so reason. However, the latter was barely hanging on his life as his body was completely shredded by the elental storm earlier, only leaving so portions of his zombified body that managed to remain intact.
Shin knew that once Ken died, his in-ga avatar would be deleted as well given the nature of this event.
He walked at Ken and looked at the stubborn expression that the latter had, unable to help himself from admiring the guy.
He shook his head and asked. "You’re admirable. What are your plans after this?"
Ken did not reply as he continued to stare at Shin – or it was also possible that the guy was unable to reply.
"You guys have quite a lot of potential. If you guys decided to create another account and co back in the ga after failing in this event-… to start over again-… go to the Gold Mountain of the Saint Heaven Kingdom and look for ," he said before turning around.
He also looked in a certain direction and mumbled. "So, it is only a spiritual avatar."
"He did everything he could to save his friend, but still failed in the end," he shook his head as he resud his steps. "Anyway, I have already given them the invitation. I just hope that they don’t take this to the heart and accept."
"After all, we just happened to be on the opposite sides of the event, so I don’t have the choice."
He was not planning to invite them to the Empyrean Talons as he was too strict about picking their future mbers, but he could still give them a special potion at Gold Mountain. After all, these guys do have decent potential, especially that assassin with a crafty mind.
He felt that that guy was quite interesting, especially after orchestrating a massive sche that targeted the experts hunting in the Plagued Lands and sched sothing to prepare for the next developnt of the event even if they failed.
It was also ant to increase the hostility that the top forces had with one another.
It was a multilayered sche that covered quite a lot of targets.
The more Shin thought about it, the more interested he beca.
As Shin was walking away, Ken stared at his back with unknown emotions in his eyes.
