Chapter 221
221: Lawless Fleet, Dreadnought (2)
Without coordinating their movements beforehand, the three of us began to move according to plan as the barrage of shells rained down like light itself.
Since this coordination was meant to precede our battle with Davy Jones, the first to step forward was Baeryujin, designated as the main tank during the Davy Jones encounter.
Shwoooooosh———.
The flames of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique erupting from both feet propelled Baeryujin forward like an arrow, driving his body directly into the barrage of shells.
At first glance it seemed suicidal, but in an instant Baeryujin’s body was engulfed in the Eternal Flame, and then it detonated.
Whoooosh———!!!
The detonating Eternal Flame engulfed all the shells raining down in a wide area, and the color of the Eternal Flame deepened into a sunset hue that painted the entire sky.
As a sunset appeared in a sky where no sunset had set, the shells could face that sunset bearing the name of ruin.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique, 7th Form: World-Annihilating Flame
The world-consuming flames that engulfed the shells answered their calling by extinguishing everything tinted in sunset like candles in an instant.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique, 9th Form: Complete Annihilation Responsive Flame
The barrage of shells that had rained down like light, the fierce currents of water created by them, and even the sunset-like flames that illuminated all of it—everything was annihilated, and nothing remained. The flames that answered ruin even extinguished the sunset itself, and in that instant, darkness fell as if night had come.
In the world of ash stained black, only Baeryujin floated serenely.
Even Dreadnought, possessing a massive frame exceeding fifty meters, felt his eyes waver as he witnessed Baeryujin’s martial prowess.
Was it wounded pride that he, for just a brief moment, had felt fear toward a human not even one-twentieth his strength? Dreadnought bared his sharp teeth and unleashed a ferocious roar.
“Kuoooooo!”
Kugugugugugu.
Though it was merely a roar, the atmosphere trembled, and that transmitted vibration soon spread to the land itself, but there was no one here who would halt before such a bestial cry.
Since Baeryujin had blocked the barrage of shells, the rest of us reacted to handle what came next, and the first to move was me, Dohyun.
The first thing I did was condense the Eternal Flame in both legs just as Baeryujin had done. Simultaneously, I used the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and Celestial Body Technique to inflate the muscles in both legs like balloons.
The power bursting forth from my grotesquely swollen legs carried within it a faint trace of Transcendence—a power that should never emerge from a C-rank, channeled through both legs and driven into the ground.
Kuwaaaaang———!!!
Shwoooooosh——!!!
Massive dust erupted, a deep crater formed as if a huge hole had been torn in the ground, and I was launched through the air. My speed in that instant doubled the speed of sound, and the air itself burst apart.
Paaaaaaaaa———!!
Sound and air burst simultaneously, creating a sonic boom. At that incomprehensibly fast speed, before anyone could even react, my eyes blazed with light.
The aura I had wrapped around my body to protect it from shattering due to the speed carrying faint Transcendence swiftly converted from protection into offense.
Becoming a single line of light ascending, I used a technique infused with my small realization in that moment.
The Eternal Flame bursting from both feet, the Golden Sword’s fastest technique Golden Flash, and the Cheongmyeong Jichang’s footwork Cheongmyeong Step all intertwined into one, and a cyan-white aura enveloped me.
‘I’m going.’
My realization being used for the first time. And infusing it with rupture. Within the flickering, detonating flames, blue light shone brilliantly while golden light mixed across its surface. In that moment, I grasped the aura that had seized my body and, holding the single-horned spear of Dokgakgwi in my hand alongside it, extended the spear toward Dreadnought.
Becoming a single line extending the spear, I became the spear itself as the cyan-white aura flashed like lightning, and when it reached beneath Dreadnought’s jaw, my body transformed into a spear flashed brilliantly and became lightning ascending to the heavens.
Kwarrrrrrrung———!!!
Thunder that should have rumbled in the sky burst forth instead, and lightning that should have torn the air and fallen downward reversed course, ascending against the sky and became a spear piercing the heavens.
Dohyun Applied Technique: Ascending Heavenly Thunder
Kwajijijiji———!!!
Discharging everything around it, my body attempted to pierce through Dreadnought, but whether I had not yet fully completed the technique or whether my realization was insufficient, I could not tell—but I failed to pierce through Dreadnought.
However.
Boom—————!!!
Crack—————
Dreadnought’s massive frame lurched upward from the jaw, his entire body tilting sharply. My attack, aimed at his jaw, sent his head rocketing skyward until he stared at the heavens. The sheer force required to lift such a colossal body without even piercing through—striking him with the impact alone—was beyond reason.
Though I might have regretted failing to penetrate, I found myself laughing instead.
“Plague Lord.”
With those words, I converted the lightning bolt I’d just unleashed—that sky-piercing thunder—into both poison and plague, injecting it directly into Dreadnought’s interior through Dokgakgwi’s spear.
Coupled with the explosive rupture, Dreadnought’s reaction was anything but ordinary.
“Guaaaaaaahhhhh—————!!!”
Unlike before, a cry of agony tore from his gaping maw as a waterfall of Dreadnought’s blood cascaded downward, creating the illusion of rain falling across the entire battlefield.
The rupture devastated his insides, and by choosing destruction over penetration, I ruptured countless organs. Their fragments tumbled down alongside the crimson deluge.
Everyone gathered here couldn’t help but gasp at such overwhelming power.
‘That much destruction from a single blow?’
‘Incredible.’
‘What technique was that just now?!’
‘I couldn’t even follow the movement.’
Since many had lost sight of my movements entirely, they were left astounded. Yet these were among the strongest here—beyond their amazement, they all continued their assault. The second fastest after me was Ines.
Spreading her ethereal wings, she soared skyward with grace befitting her title as Celestial. Scattering silver mana through the air, Ines created a Pulse Sword and swung it toward Dreadnought.
Her blade, imbued with ether that pulsed like lightning similar to mine, crackled with tremendous force. The pulse erupting from her sword became a beam of pure light, streaking directly toward Dreadnought.
Celestial Sword Arts Sixth Form: Impulse Ray
Boom—————!!
The destructive beam shot toward Dreadnought’s abdomen, creating a massive shockwave. Unlike my attack, which sent his colossal frame lurching upward, this merely made him flinch. Yet the damage was undeniable.
Ines’s Impulse Ray carved a massive hole through his abdomen, and through that opening, the ruptured organs I’d devastated earlier spilled out.
Any living creature would have perished from such damage, but Dreadnought merely moved, attempting to fire projectiles down at me.
Despite the grievous wounds, he moved with alarming agility, launching shells toward me in an attempt to strike. But before he could, a flash of light reached him first.
The golden radiance had faded, replaced by a brilliant platinum gleam that rushed toward Dreadnought, blade raised.
Jiyuchan’s most powerful technique available at this moment.
Rumble—————!!
Thunder crackled across the clear sky once more as a platinum lightning bolt shot toward Dreadnought.
Golden Sword Arts Tenth Form, Ascending Technique: White Thunder
The sharp white lightning that erupted differed from my lightning-infused attack and Ines’s pulse-powered plasma strike. This was platinum-tinged thunder, yet Jiyuchan had transformed all that power not into lightning but into pure aura, swinging his blade with devastating intent.
A storm of aura shot toward a single point like lightning itself, and that white blade-light carved a long gash across Dreadnought’s belly.
Slash—————————!
“Kuahhhhh…!”
With both a massive hole and a deep wound appearing simultaneously on his abdomen, even Dreadnought’s colossal frame couldn’t endure it. He let out a scream of agony.
It all happened in an instant, yet the Attack Party didn’t stop. The next to rush at Dreadnought was Jerome from the Fallen Leaf Party.
With movements so light they seemed to defy gravity, Jerome closed the distance before anyone could track it. While I, Ines, and Jiyuchan had all targeted Dreadnought’s belly and lower body, Jerome instead leaped atop Dreadnought, gripping his sword and muttering an incantation as his technique activated.
Jerome’s aura hardened instantly, taking control of the space around him, transforming into a colossal tree with roots pointing downward. He gathered those roots into a single point, sharpening them into a needle-like lance.
And then he dropped it toward Dreadnought.
Yggdrasil Sword Arts Eighth Form: Deadwood Lance
A withered ancient tree’s roots coiled into a single, sharpened spike, plummeting with perfect accuracy toward the center of the ship that had formed on Dreadnought’s back.
As the massive tree plummeted like a falling giant, Dreadnought finally sensed something had gone wrong and attempted to evade, but in that instant, a brilliant white beam and rapidly fired pulse spears erupted from the ground toward him.
Zzzzzzzzzt———!
Whoooosh———!!!
The white beam, though only partial, froze Dreadnought’s body, while the spears pierced his fins and brought his movements to an abrupt halt.
It was a coordinated assault from Hanalin and Vera—Dreadnought’s movements seized up in an instant, and the colossal tree plummeting from above crashed down upon his back with devastating force.
Craaaaaash—!!!
The ancient tree descended with enough momentum to pierce through, yet Dreadnought somehow endured—or at least, he only dropped slightly lower without any other visible movement.
However.
Thud thud thud thud.
A considerable portion of the ship affixed to Dreadnought’s back was now detaching and plummeting, and among the debris, numerous ship cannons tumbled downward.
As his cannon-based offensive capabilities were stripped away, Dreadnought’s eyes blazed crimson as he unleashed another primal roar.
“Kuooooooo———!”
Then a pale, sickly mist began to pour forth from his body.
