Chapter 214
It was then.
A heavy voice resonated from somewhere in the middle of the Battlefield.
“I’ll join the fight.”
The voice belonged to Kim Jae-beom. The moment he appeared, the atmosphere of the Battlefield shifted instantly. His figure descending slowly through the air was oppression incarnate. In his hand, he held a weighty steel staff.
The moment Kim Jae-beom’s foot touched the ground, the Land trembled faintly. His eyes burned with a crimson glow, and his lips curved into a confident smile. Slowly, yet with unwavering resolve, he walked toward the Angel Knights.
Suddenly, his pace quickened. What began as a walk became a sprint, and he charged toward the Angel Knights. His steel staff began to carve circles through the air.
“Take this!”
As Kim Jae-beom swung the steel staff with tremendous force, a remarkable transformation occurred. Crimson currents awakened across the staff’s surface, rippling like living flame. What began as faint sparks grew in magnitude and intensity, finally metamorphosing into lightning.
Shwick! The red lightning erupting from the steel staff stretched toward the Angel Knights. Accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity coursing through the air, the lightning bathed everything around it in crimson hue.
Two Angel Knights quickly formed a defensive formation to counter Kim Jae-beom’s assault. A protective barrier materialized from their golden armor, but his red lightning tore through it, delivering a devastating impact.
Boom! The moment the two forces collided, spacetime itself warped and distorted. Between the red lightning and the golden barrier, violet sparks erupted.
Kim Jae-beom pressed forward without hesitation, continuing his relentless assault. His steel staff obeyed his will precisely, targeting the Angel Knights’ weak points. The red lightning intensified with each strike, gradually dismantling their defenses.
One of the Angel Knights spread his wings wide and soared into the air. He raised his sword and attempted to drive it down toward Kim Jae-beom’s head. But Kim Jae-beom smiled and gently angled the steel staff upward.
Boom! Red lightning exploded upward, striking the Angel Knight head-on. The golden armor of the Angel Knight, engulfed in the impact, warped and fractured with black cracks.
“Aaaaahhh!”
He shrieked and flew backward.
Kim Jae-beom did not hesitate for a moment. The determination to not let the reeling Angel Knight escape blazed in his eyes. Crimson energy erupted from beneath his feet like an erupting volcano, and his body lunged forward with the ferocity of a predator toward the fleeing Angel Knight.
Time seemed to stop. Kim Jae-beom’s movement was faster than lightning. Like an arrow cleaving through the sky, he closed the distance and brought the steel staff down toward the Angel Knight’s head with perfect precision.
Crack!
With a heavy impact, the steel staff struck the Angel Knight’s helmet with perfect accuracy. The golden helmet could not withstand the tremendous force and began to crack like an eggshell. The fractures spread wider, splitting across the helmet, and soon it shattered with a deafening sound.
Crackle!
The moment the helmet exploded, the red current erupting from Kim Jae-beom’s steel staff enveloped the Angel Knight’s head. The current surged violently, flowing down through the entire body. The golden armor twisted and deformed, and within it, the Angel Knight convulsed in agony.
The red current blazed with ever-increasing intensity, beginning to consume the Angel Knight’s form. First his head, then his shoulders and chest, and finally his legs. Within mere seconds, the Angel Knight’s form vanished completely, leaving only faint red particles drifting in the air.
Complete annihilation. The Angel Knight disappeared from the Battlefield.
In that moment, the remaining Angel Knights witnessed their comrade’s death. Fury ignited in their eyes. Their golden armor blazed with even greater intensity, and their swords swirled with increasingly violent holy power.
“Roooaaahhh!”
With a furious cry, the Angel Knights spread their wings in unison. They moved as one body, simultaneously crossing the Battlefield’s sky and charging fiercely toward Kim Jae-beom.
“Hmm….”
Kim Jae-beom stood with unhurried composure, seemingly unconcerned by the Angel Knights’ assault. He slowly raised his right arm, pointing the steel staff toward them.
In an instant, red light began to swirl at the tip of his staff. What started as a small spark rapidly expanded in size, transforming into red lightning. Accompanied by the crackling sound that vibrated the atmosphere, the red lightning filled the air and surged forward.
Shwiiick!
The extending red lightning precisely targeted each approaching Angel Knight. The lightning pierced through their armor and burrowed deep into their bodies. The Angel Knights thrashed about, engulfed in the red current, but none could escape the lightning’s encirclement.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the Angel Knights’ forms were consumed by the red light. Their golden armor melted like lead, and their great swords turned to ash and scattered in the wind. Their wings ignited like burning feathers, blazing in an instant. Within mere seconds, all the Angel Knights transformed into particles of light and vanished into the air.
The Golden Knight, who had been watching the spectacle, opened his eyes wide. Even in a game, the sight of such powerful Angel Knights being annihilated in a single attack was almost unbelievable.
“That’s completely broken.”
The Golden Knight’s voice carried both astonishment and frustration. He had never imagined that the powerful beings he had summoned would be neutralized so easily.
Kim Jae-beom looked at the Golden Knight and shrugged his shoulders.
“That’s right.”
It was a brief and simple answer, yet my voice carried absolute confidence. I had dominated the Golden Knight with ease, and that assurance only continued to grow.
In the next instant, the steel staff in my hand sliced through the air and flew forward. With a single fluid motion, I hurled it like a javelin toward the Golden Knight. The staff cut through the atmosphere faster than an arrow, hurtling directly at his right leg.
Whoooosh!
Before the Golden Knight could even react, the steel staff pierced cleanly through his leg. The moment of impact unleashed a torrent of crimson electricity that engulfed his entire limb, and like molten metal, his golden armor began to lose its form.
In an instant, the Golden Knight’s right leg vanished completely. From the knee down, all trace of the limb had been erased, leaving only faint scarlet particles hovering where it had been.
The Golden Knight, being a game character, felt no physical pain. Yet his expression betrayed profound shock. He stumbled momentarily, losing his balance before managing to remain upright on his remaining leg.
“This… this can’t be real?”
The Golden Knight stared down at his vanished leg, muttering in disbelief. His eyes blinked rapidly as he struggled to comprehend what had just transpired. The confidence he’d felt while holding the upper hand in battle shattered in an instant.
My steel staff returned like a boomerang, settling back into my grip. I caught it and advanced slowly toward the Golden Knight. The atmosphere of the Battlefield had transformed completely. What had been bathed in golden light now swam in my crimson aura.
I approached the Golden Knight, who now staggered on a single leg. My eyes gleamed with cold certainty of victory. The steel staff in my hand crackled with scarlet electricity, vibrating with lethal energy. The sound of electricity crackling through the air echoed across the Battlefield.
Suddenly, my movements accelerated. I took a wide stride and raised the steel staff high above my head. In the next moment, I swung it with devastating speed.
Swish!
The Golden Knight attempted a final defense, but he had already lost his balance. Standing precariously on his remaining leg, he raised his sword to block, yet it was woefully insufficient against my assault.
Crack!
The steel staff struck the Golden Knight’s head with perfect precision. His golden helmet shattered upon impact, brilliant fragments scattering in all directions. Crimson electricity engulfed his entire body in an instant, and his armor tore apart like paper.
“Aaaahhhhh!”
The Golden Knight’s anguished scream echoed across the Battlefield. But the cry did not last long. The game system activated, forcibly logging out his consciousness. His body, which had hung suspended in the air, became nothing more than an empty husk, no longer under the control of the player.
