No matter how much Feliks strengthened his body, his face was bound to be vulnerable.
The man’s eyes and mouth, which had absorbed radiance to the fullest, burst into flames.
“You, bastaaaard, die!”
“Wh-when you can’t even speak properly, why don’t you just keep your mouth shut?”
Having quickly recovered only one eye, the man’s pitch-black pupil glared at me with a flickering gleam.
But rather than being scary, it was just ridiculous.
“I burned your tongue first. How does it feel to have the initiative stolen from you?”
“Shut, up!”
The man’s claws flew toward my face.
“How dare you.”
Clang!
Rute’s sword immediately struck down the man’s hand.
I slammed my mace into Feliks’s abdomen.
“Urgh!”
The spikes of the mace pierced through the man’s tough skin and embedded themselves.
I whispered to the man whose eyes had widened.
“You use quite a lot of power to recover, don’t you?”
The battle at the Imperial Palace Banquet Hall.
Feliks, whose waist had been half-severed by Rute’s sword, recovered at an astonishing speed and attacked us again.
But he couldn’t recover infinitely. If that were possible, he would have fought us to the end instead of fleeing from that place.
“Even now, you can’t properly block our attacks because you’re busy repairing the wounds on your face.”
Since healing and creation aren’t domains of ‘Evil’, repairing major wounds would inevitably consume a lot of power.
“I wonder what’s faster – your recovery or your annihilation under our attacks.”
I intensified the flames while keeping my mace embedded in the man’s abdomen.
“Aaaahhh!”
Rute didn’t miss the brief opening and swung his sword toward the man’s neck as it burned with radiance.
Clang!
“Urgh, huff.”
However, Feliks struck the sword away with his claws and flew up into the air, breaking free from the mace.
“Damn, fire, flower!”
But even after escaping the mace, Feliks spewed poison from his entire body as the flames continued to burrow into his wounds.
Unfortunately, the flames were neutralized by the poison and extinguished.
“Huff, huff!”
“Oh dear, what a waste. I worked so hard to kindle those flames.”
My divine power alone seems insufficient.
“Rute.”
I held out my mace to Rute.
Understanding my intention, Rute immediately transferred plenty of his divine power to me.
White flames mixed with radiance swelled greatly in size.
“…How fascinating.”
The divine flames mixed with white and gold felt much more pure and mystical than the Sun God’s divine power I used.
“So this is your divine power.”
I had already experienced it with my body, but seeing it again with my eyes was truly fascinating.
What on earth did you experience in your previous life to obtain such pure power?
What exactly happened that your eyes are still filled with excitement, not knowing what to do with yourself?
“Thanks to you, I think we can win.”
But instead of asking, I gripped my mace tightly.
I could hear about it later, and if you didn’t want to talk about it, I didn’t need to know.
In any case, you’re here beside me now, fighting together with me.
“Quickly, you bastards, to the god…!”
The moment Feliks shouted fiercely, several tentacles sprouted from his back.
Those same tentacles that had nearly killed me.
“…I’ll rip those off myself.”
Rute gripped his sword tightly with a fierce expression.
The fact that I had nearly died must have been quite a shock to him.
“No, I’ll rip them off.”
Then someone appeared beside us.
It was Jin, holding a menacing axe covered in monster fluids.
“I won’t feel satisfied unless I rip off those tentacles and shove them into that bastard’s mouth.”p>
How brutal, my friend.
Well, if the situation had been reversed, I would have done the same.
“How are things with the monsters?”
“They’ve been significantly weakened thanks to your radiance. It’ll be fine even if I step away. And killing that bastard comes first before the monsters.”
As Jin said, this fight would never end unless we killed Feliks.
“Jin.”
I transferred the divine flames that Rute and I had created together to the axe Jin was holding.
Jin exclaimed in admiration at the blazing white flames.
“This is good! With this, I can cut off that bastard’s neck.”
Jin grinned wickedly and immediately leaped into the air.
The axe and tentacles clashed violently in mid-air.
During the banquet hall battle, even tearing off the tentacles had been difficult.
Now they couldn’t withstand our divine power and were slowly melting away bit by bit.
Both Feliks and Jin couldn’t have missed this.
【Activating divine power exclusive skill ‘Void’.】
Dozens of pitch-black daggers appeared around Jin and flew toward Feliks’s tentacles.
Bang, boom!
“What the!”
The moment the daggers struck the tentacles that had melted from the divine flames, the tentacles crumbled to dust.
Since Void alone couldn’t deal effective damage to the man, she attacked the areas weakened by the divine flames with Void.
Soon Rute joined the fight as well.
The two flew around using Rute’s magic and launched coordinated attacks.
Perhaps because they both had memories of their previous lives, their coordination was remarkably good.
But it’s still not enough.
We’ve only just reached the point where we can stand on equal footing with him.
In fact, Feliks had already fully recovered his burned eyes and tongue.
So we need stronger power – power that can completely kill him.
【The AI System responds to the user’s strong will.】
‘Holy Shot’ can no longer wound him.
‘Judgment’s lightning only dulls his movements for a brief moment, and ‘Execution’s blade cannot sever his neck.
‘Radiance’ also cannot burn him to ashes in an instant.
But what if I combined all these skills?
【The user’s will shakes the AI System. The user manifests a new skill on their own!】
What if I added Rute’s divine power and unleashed all skills at once?
Then, couldn’t I kill him?
【User exclusive skill ‘Overlap’ has been acquired.】
【The user can use all possessed skills simultaneously!】
Light burst forth from my body.
Skills responding to my will settled into the mace one by one.
【Activating skill ‘Holy Shot’.】
The mace took on a golden hue.
【Activating divine power exclusive skill ‘Judgment’.】
The mace was imbued with golden lightning.
【Activating divine power exclusive skill ‘Radiance’.】
The mace began to burn.
【Activating fusion skill ‘Execution’.】
Finally, I added Rute’s divine power that he had passed on to me.
Flash!
The black coating on the mace slowly peeled away.
The mace emitted a beautiful pearl-like luster.
【Sacred relic ‘Divine Punishment’ responds to the stacked skills.】
【The sacred relic ‘Divine Punishment’ upgrades from Unique to Legendary due to the user’s powerful divine power!】
【Congratulations! You are the first in this world to create a Legendary sacred relic with a human body!】
This was my power, built up entirely by myself.
【The grade of sacred relic ‘Divine Punishment’ has increased. An even more powerful purifying force now dwells within the sacred relic.】
With this, I can kill Feliks.
I looked up at those fighting in the sky.
Feliks, completely absorbed in Jin and Rute’s combined attack, hadn’t noticed the situation down here at all.
Oh dear, you should pay attention.
The one who’s going to kill you is none other than me.
Crackle.
I wrapped the stacked skills around my entire body.
Why had I only thought of putting Judgment into the mace or using it directly on monsters until now?
If I wrap lightning around my body, my speed would increase too.
Boom!
With a single leap, I instantly reached those fighting in the sky.
“Huh?”
“Ordel?”
Jin-do, who was desperately trying to eliminate the man’s tentacles, Rute, excited at the thought of revenge against him, and even Feliks, who had been attacking the two.
They all stared at me blankly as I appeared as if teleporting.
“Becoming lightning isn’t so bad either.”
I grinned and gripped the mace tightly.
Feliks’s face turned pale as he belatedly recognized the mace that had turned pure white and the tremendous power dwelling within it.
“When did you…!”
Feliks frantically swung his tentacles at me.
“Not twice.”
“I can’t let my friend get hurt again.”
However, Rute’s sword and Jin’s axe cut down the tentacles in one strike.
Feliks spewed poison from his entire body, but all the poison was purified and scattered before it could even reach me.
“G-God…!”
“Don’t look for him. He’ll die by my hand anyway.”
I struck down on the man’s head with my mace without hesitation.
Crash!
“Aaaaah!”
The sacred bullet purified the poison, and lightning tore through his body.
Flames burned him, and blades mercilessly slashed his weakened body.
“Guhk!”
The moment Feliks couldn’t endure the relentless barrage of attacks and screamed.
Crack!
Rute’s sword pierced through the man’s mouth.
“Ghk!”
“Apologize to all those who died because of your deceitful tongue.”
Thud!
Just like that, Rute and Feliks fell to the ground as one body.
Those who had been fighting monsters, those who had been treating the injured, those who had picked up their swords again to go fight.
Everyone stopped moving and looked this way.
“Ghk, hk, kgh!”
The cloud of sand dust that had risen settled, revealing Feliks’s miserable state.
Horns sprouting from his head, hair and skin dyed pitch black, sharp claws, wings torn to shreds.
Feliks, in the complete form of a monster, was trembling with a sword pierced through his mouth.
