Episode 418
418
Just as a deafening crash erupted and Luna was about to slam into the wall.
She twisted mid-air, planting both feet against the surface as if landing deliberately, and the moment her soles made contact, she kicked off with explosive force.
The wall shattered with a tremendous roar.
Channeling the destructive force entirely through her legs, she shattered the wall completely, sending it crumbling down.
Luna paid no mind to the debris, launching herself forward like a bullet and extending her fist once more toward the Lord of Destruction.
The Lord of Destruction hadn’t anticipated her bouncing back so quickly, and a brief opening appeared in his defense—but he dismissed it, tilting his head back and raising his leg to kick at Luna’s approaching torso.
However, the moment he lifted his leg, viscous blood materialized and froze his movement for an instant, allowing Luna to slip past him.
It was shallow, but she’d drawn blood. As the Lord of Destruction severed the liquid and prepared to move again, lightning descended from the sky.
A brilliant spear of electricity crashed down with a deafening boom.
Like a single lance, the lightning carried a spear of pure light within it, and as it struck, the luminous spear pierced the Lord of Destruction’s shoulder—but the blade sank only shallowly, barely deeper than a fingernail.
The spear of light had fallen with the lightning itself.
Yet it managed only that shallow wound, and everyone’s bodies trembled.
In that moment, Longfeng arrived on a shadow wind, his failure count accumulating.
But the Lord of Destruction’s punch shattered the shadow storm in an instant, and Longfeng, who had been concealed within it, was exposed.
To survive without accumulating more failures, he launched an attack toward the Lord of Destruction’s incoming fist.
But the Lord of Destruction’s punch never slowed, obliterating Longfeng’s attack and surging toward him.
Realizing he’d be shattered if hit, Longfeng desperately tried to evade—when Kim Che-gun appeared and kicked him out of harm’s way, causing the Lord of Destruction’s fist to cut through empty air.
Kim Che-gun swung his blade at the Lord of Destruction’s arm, but the limb, saturated entirely with destructive energy, didn’t even register the slash.
A sharp metallic screech rang out.
Kim Che-gun’s expression twisted.
He’d thought he might at least draw blood.
But the sensation in his grip felt as though he’d struck solid metal, and Kim Che-gun muttered under his breath.
“My blade….”
“Dodge!”
The Lord of Destruction flicked Kim Che-gun’s sword aside and pivoted, using his body as an axis to unleash a spinning kick.
A kick with enough force not to shatter but to pulverize completely.
So Usagi from the Embris Party created a blood wall, Memma tried to bind the Lord of Destruction’s body with viscous blood, and Chako pulled Kim Che-gun away with blood to escape the strike.
But every drop of blood that touched the Lord of Destruction’s body burst apart, unable to restrain him even momentarily—and as the kick hurtled toward Kim Che-gun.
Hwawol stepped forward, snatching Kim Che-gun away with blood, and simultaneously nocking an arrow to fire at the Lord of Destruction.
A massive explosion erupted.
The shockwave sent Hwawol and Kim Che-gun reeling backward, and at the same moment, Elzahar’s ice attack rushed toward the Lord of Destruction—but it was insufficient.
Watching the black explosion cloud itself shatter and vanish along with the sound of destruction, despair bloomed in everyone’s hearts.
It hadn’t taken long to reach this point.
Everyone had moved simultaneously and launched their assault.
Yet on his body, there were only the shallow wound Luna had inflicted and the puncture marks from the spear that Kyou and Merlin had used.
There was one thing that remained hopeful.
“…His regeneration isn’t particularly impressive, is it?”
Everyone agreed with Luna’s assessment.
Blue blood flowed from the wounds Luna inflicted and the places pierced by her spear, suggesting the Lord of Destruction’s regeneration wasn’t particularly exceptional.
The Lord of Destruction scratched his neck as he observed this.
Were humans stronger than he’d anticipated?
Faced with this unexpected result, the Lord of Destruction charged forward again, and Luna, who could manage close combat, blocked him once more.
Naturally, this time Embris joined in, and together they coated themselves in blood before launching their assault at the Lord of Destruction.
“Ah, the combined technique of Luna and Embris! However, since the Lord of Destruction is wrapped in the power of destruction, even attacking him appears difficult!!!”
Just as Michael said, the power of destruction shattered and crushed attacks themselves.
Even when they struck, it was difficult to inflict full damage.
The viewers too couldn’t help but gasp at the absurdly powerful Lord of Destruction.
They’d watched numerous videos until now, but they’d never seen a boss like this before.
How could a boss be this strong with nothing but a single aura technique, without any skills or combat techniques?
The title “Lord” wasn’t attached for nothing.
-What kind of boss is… that strong???
-Is this basically top-ranker level???
-At least double top-ranker level, and that’s a double top-ranker with a Lord-class job;;;;
-Seems like it’d be among the highest tier of double top-rankers?????
-That means at least level 300+;;;;
-Estimated around 330;;;;
-Wait, you’re telling me they’re fighting this at only level 270s???
-That’s impossible;;;;
-The gap gets insane as levels increase, and they’re somehow managing to hold their own like this?
The power the Lord of Destruction displayed now was at least something you’d only see from the upper echelon of double top-rankers.
There was no choice but to be astonished.
Then suddenly, some viewers began to grasp the true nature of the situation.
If these boss-type Lords were at least level 330 and among the strongest double top-rankers,
-Wait, then what about the Demon King and her Minions who each took on one of the Lords???
-??????????????
-How??????is??????that??????
-What???????
-Lolol Demon King, don’t do this here, go to the upper areas lolol
-Lolololol Didn’t you say you got a pass???
-Lololol This is insane, don’t bully them here.
It was the moment the viewers who had just realized this felt Yoo Sung-hyun’s true power.
Of course, the Backup Team, fighting such a boss with merely twelve members without even reaching level 300, was also impressive.
And some viewers began to change their assessment as they watched.
They’d been judging and observing the Lord of Destruction as level 330.
But the displayed power and attacks were more fierce than expected, and the judgment was quite significant.
-?????Doesn’t seem like 330 level???
-It just looks that way because the Backup Team is doing well, but if you look carefully, the power level isn’t at that degree.
-Yeah, think about it—all the map objects there are being destroyed, and there was that one time a top-10 double top-ranker conducted an object destruction experiment.
-I saw that too, couldn’t destroy it, right?
-But didn’t Lee Kang-hun, who was the 6th ranked Single Ranker at the time, conduct that exact same experiment?
-Right, Lee Kang-hun said that after destroying the object, around the 350s, Lord-class skills strengthen and you can destroy objects too???
-??????
-So that means this boss is in the 350s right now???
-This is insane;;;;;;;
As the Lord of Destruction’s evaluation changed in real time.
Watching the Backup Team conducting a 12-person raid against such a Lord of Destruction, some viewers came to a realization.
-Even if you bring 12 Double Rankers, you can’t take down a single Single Ranker…?
-Right…???
-Then what are these guys???
-Seriously…
The viewers couldn’t help but fall silent as they grasped the true power of the Backup Team and the Lord of Destruction.
In other words, they realized that each member of the Backup Team possessed strength at or above Double Ranker level, and they were engaged in a fierce battle against a boss that could be called Single Ranker class.
The Backup Team’s condition as they fought the Lord of Destruction was truly extraordinary.
Led by Luna, Kyou, and Team Leader Embris, they were fighting the Lord of Destruction with all their might.
Less than ten minutes had passed.
The surroundings were completely devastated, and while the Backup Team members were each covered in dust, none had sustained fatal wounds.
The Lord of Destruction, however, was much the same.
Apart from the raw wounds sustained early on and the puncture wounds from spears, no new injuries had appeared.
“Huff, huff.”
“Let’s focus.”
“Here it comes.”
As the three team leaders desperately blocked every attack from the Lord of Destruction, counterattacking proved difficult for them.
So the team members launched attacks sporadically, but it wasn’t enough.
Their attacks couldn’t penetrate the aura of destruction.
Luna, judging that continuing like this wouldn’t lead to victory even if they fought all day, surveyed her surroundings.
The three team leaders were holding back the Lord of Destruction through their combined efforts.
Yet they still had a slight margin of strength.
Rather than this.
“The Embris Party members and our team members, Kyou’s team members, and myself—let us all work together to restrain its movements, while Kyou and Embris handle the offense.”
Luna spoke at length while positioning herself in front of the Lord of Destruction to block its path.
Truthfully, if Luna were removed, there would be no one capable of engaging the Lord of Destruction in close combat.
Even Kyou and Embris, with their Almighty-class jobs, had no means to withstand the Lord of Destruction’s physical body.
However, Luna could directly harness primordial strength to endure against the power of destruction.
She judged this to be the best method available now.
The moment Luna made her resolve and shouted her command.
Having issued the order, Luna stepped forward first to follow through, and the other teams moved out behind her.
Luna’s figure, moving to bring down the Lord of Destruction by any means necessary, was almost majestic, and all the remaining team members channeled their strength to Luna, allowing her to hold back the Lord of Destruction.
First, all three Embris Party members poured their blood to Luna.
Blood formed a barrier, blocking the destructive force, and Luna hurled her fist toward the Lord of Destruction’s exposed knuckles.
