Chapter 287
Chapter 287
The Blue Spirit God.
True to its name, this Evil God was less a physical creature and more a magical phenomenon made manifest.
Naturally, the Blue Spirit God’s primary attack was magic.
What made it particularly troublesome was this mana storm.
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!—!!!
An attack devoid of any elemental attribute, merely raw mana erupting violently from within its body.
Yet its destructive power was far from negligible.
In fact, this mana storm rivaled the high-tier spells of even master-class mages.
Most critically, the true strength of this mana storm lay in this:
‘The spirits.’
It inflicted no damage whatsoever upon its subordinate monsters.
Despite the violent mana storm raging around them, the surrounding spirits remained unscathed.
Rather, as if energized, they became even more frenzied and active.
Enduring the assault of the other spirits as well, the prolonged mana storm gradually began to subside.
And then.
“We begin our assault on the Evil God now!”
The fact that the Evil God unleashed its mana storm meant we had drawn sufficiently close.
This signified that our presence had begun to feel threatening to it.
Given that.
“Yes!”
“Understood!”
Using the mana storm as our signal, the full-scale assault on the Evil God commenced.
Until now, we had defeated spirits to clear a path forward, but that was no longer an option.
We could not afford to be distracted by the spirits.
From this moment on, I had to focus entirely on the Blue Spirit God.
The fortunate part was this:
“Mir, we’ve come with you, so don’t hesitate—charge in!”
“Guild Master Tae-ryeon! We’ll hold the spirits in place!”
Black Flame and the Taegeuk Guild had not foolishly remained on the periphery.
The guild members had followed the path I, Tae-ryeon, and Yul-ha had carved out and entered the battlefield.
Once they secured their positions, I could entrust all the spirits to them.
And I knew.
The method to ignore the spirits and charge toward the Blue Spirit God.
And the way to help the guild members secure their positions to face the spirits.
That method was none other than.
[ Dragon Fear ]
This very power.
As Luke’s strength—held in reserve for this battle against the Blue Spirit God—was unleashed, a dragon’s roar thundered across the battlefield.
Yet even so, the Blue Spirit God merely flinched, its prepared magic scattering into nothingness.
“Uuuuuu—.”
“The spirits have stopped!”
“Now’s our chance! Push through!”
“They’re forming a barrier to keep us away from the Guild Master!”
“Hurry!”
The subordinate spirits could not do the same.
Frozen in place by the overwhelming pressure embedded in the dragon’s roar.
The Guild members cut them down and pressed forward, forming a formation around the Blue Spirit God.
In that opening, Tae-ryeon, Yul-ha, and I broke through the spirits to face the Blue Spirit God up close.
“In our last battle, we never managed to get this close. Seeing it from right in front of me, it’s far more massive than I expected.”
Tae-ryeon spoke while tightening her grip on her fan.
“What should we do? Mir?”
Yul-ha was the same.
The attribute coating agent’s power was well contained within her.
No—she gripped the “Crowned One’s Greatsword” tightly, which had absorbed the attribute energy from the spirits she’d struck and was now ready to unleash that power at any moment.
And I.
“As I explained beforehand, we’ll begin with the standard strategy for defeating the Blue Spirit God.”
I began directing the Evil God subjugation.
“The left side of the head, both right and left flanks, and the left foot have already been destroyed.”
“There are still quite a few areas remaining though.”
The Blue Spirit God’s condition was far from pristine.
The left side of its head had melted away from Kephri’s Golden Scarab’s unique skill, “Desert’s Sunrise.”
The right flank had been shattered by Horus’s Falcon Staff’s unique skill, “Guardian of the Sky.”
The left foot had been crushed by Geb’s Wrath.
These were not wounds created by thoughtless, indiscriminate attacks.
That’s because the strategy for defeating the Blue Spirit God was.
‘Localized destruction.’
Breaking every single divided body part.
Among them, the left side of the head had intense heat as its weakness, the right flank had wind attribute weakness, and the left foot had earth attribute weakness.
Actually, there was one more.
Tae-ryeon remembered my strategy and concentrated the lightning from “Heavenly Thunder Storm Wind Rain,” which she’d used for the first time, to electrocute the Blue Spirit God’s left shoulder.
With that, four body parts had been destroyed.
“Thanks to Heavenly Thunder Storm Wind Rain, there’s plenty of moisture now, so I think we can prepare a strong water attribute attack.”
“Then, I’ll entrust the right knee to you, Tae-ryeon.”
“Mir, what should I do?”
“I ask that you handle the left wrist. Metal attribute is its weakness there, so blade strikes should be most effective.”
“Understood!”
Now it was time to methodically shatter the remaining parts.
Slash!
Tae-ryeon and Yul-ha moved toward their respective targets.
“Water Lily.”
Tae-ryeon unleashed her technique first.
Water Lily—a water-attribute technique that bloomed flowers made of pure water.
To manifest a proper Water Lily, she needed not only mana but also to draw in vast quantities of water from the surroundings.
Achieving maximum power required an enormous amount of water, but this was the Desert.
There was no normal way to obtain water here.
But.
‘Now it’s possible.’
The Heavenly Thunder Storm she had unleashed wasn’t merely a lightning strike.
It was an attack accompanied by rain and wind alongside the lightning—that was the Heavenly Thunder Storm.
As a result, an enormous amount of moisture had accumulated in the surroundings.
Whoooosh!
“Full Bloom.”
The Water Lily, absorbing that moisture and Tae-ryeon’s mana, swelled to tremendous size at incredible speed before beginning to bloom.
The moment the water-formed Water Lily bloomed, completely engulfing the Blue Spirit God’s knees.
KABOOM!!
A water explosion erupted, shattering the Evil God’s knees.
Water-attribute attacks were generally known to be weak in offensive power, but this strike shattered the Evil God’s knees with such overwhelming force that it defied conventional wisdom.
Yul-ha was equally magnificent in her performance.
“Crescent Moon!”
Screech!
Her blade bit deeply into the Blue Spirit God’s wrist.
This was no mere physical attack.
Bladed weapons fundamentally represented the metal attribute, though it was difficult to consider that as elemental power alone.
The reason her blade could be so effective was thanks to the “Crowned One’s Ego.”
This ego converted all the elemental power she had absorbed thus far into her most confident metal attribute, amplifying it.
“Full Moon!”
Each time her blade swung, the mana-formed wrist carved deeper, and instead of blood, mana surged forth as if from a wound.
Since this was her most confident area, she quickly poured her strength into it, successfully severing the left wrist.
“Moving to the next target!”
“I’m advancing as well!”
While Tae-ryeon and Yul-ha continued their assault.
I wasn’t idle either.
While they destroyed the Blue Spirit God’s limbs, I selected the most troublesome area of the creature and moved toward it.
Of course, there weren’t just one or two difficult areas.
Among them, the first area I chose was.
‘The right chest.’
That location.
The reason was that the weakness of that right chest was.
‘Dark attribute.’
It was a rare attribute among the various elemental affinities.
Specifically, darkness.
An attribute type that had almost no use unless one was a dark mage.
It was difficult to use as an attribute coating agent, and it was equally challenging for Tae-ryeon and Yul-ha to wield.
So I decided to strike the Blue Spirit God’s right chest first.
[ Ruin Demon Sword, Tyrfing ]
( Non-tradeable )
Form : Sword
Grade : Mythic
Restriction : Level 950 or higher, Sword Mastery Lv 95 or higher
Description : The legendary demon sword known to bring ruin upon its owner, the very embodiment of demon swords—Tyrfing.
I drew the demon sword through Luke.
Though not a Level 1,000 Mythic-grade weapon, Tyrfing was a Mythic-grade demon sword with only a fifty-level gap from the maximum level of 1,000—a formidable blade.
As befitted its title as a demon sword, I swung this blade imbued with potent dark power at the Blue Spirit God.
Screech!
A black sword aura flew forth, carving a brutal wound across the Blue Spirit God’s chest.
“Kashord!”
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
The Blue Spirit God unleashed another mana storm in resistance, but I blocked it with the Jade Stone Fortress Wall.
– Using the unique skill of ‘Ruin Demon Sword, Tyrfing’: ‘Promised Ruin’.
Boom, boom, boom, crash!!
I completely obliterated the Blue Spirit God’s right chest.
The Blue Spirit God’s right chest was shattered so thoroughly that the word ‘ruin’ seemed perfectly apt.
But this was only the beginning.
[ Holy Sword of Archangel Michael ]
( Non-tradeable )
Form : Sword
Grade : Mythic
Screech!
The holy attribute attack unleashed by Michael’s Holy Sword slashed across the Blue Spirit God’s left chest.
This time, the Blue Spirit God refused to yield easily, unleashing various spells including mana storms in rapid succession.
I could have blocked them all, but I wanted to destroy each body part swiftly and decisively.
– Using skill ‘Silver Bird Soul Chase’.
After using the unique skill and deploying Silver Bird Soul Chase to even throw the weapon, I finished destroying the left chest.
Then I continued systematically destroying other parts.
The Blue Spirit God’s elbows, thighs, and pelvis.
Each body part with various elemental weaknesses began to shatter one by one.
Had I been alone, it would have taken considerably longer.
“This section is finished!”
“Me too!”
With Tae-ryeon and Yul-ha’s assistance, I was able to destroy each part far faster than I’d anticipated.
And now, the moment of truth.
“We just need to shatter the left side of its head! Use ice attributes!”
“Yes!”
“Understood!”
We began pouring concentrated attacks at the left side of the Blue Spirit God’s head.
Tae-ryeon unleashed her technique, summoning a blizzard, while Yul-ha’s blade froze razor-sharp, slicing through the left side of the Blue Spirit God’s head.
In that moment.
[ Niflheim’s Icy Fang ]
( Non-tradeable )
Form: Spear
Grade: Mythic
I too gathered all my strength and thrust toward the left side of the Blue Spirit God’s head—its final weak point.
– Activating the unique skill of ‘Niflheim’s Icy Fang’: ‘Niflheim’s Death Knell’.
I hurled the Mythic-grade spear.
In that instant.
“Ga, Seirah—.”
The Blue Spirit God’s mouth twisted grotesquely as it began to emit an otherworldly shriek.
The left side of its frozen head shattered like breaking ice.
But that wasn’t all.
Starting from its head, its shoulders, arms, torso, and lower body—
All of it crumbled away.
What was revealed was the Blue Spirit God’s true form.
Exposed flesh far purer than any part we’d destroyed thus far.
Like a knight shedding its armor, its true nature was unmistakable to anyone.
“That’s the Blue Spirit God’s true form!”
“Is that its weakness?”
“Yes. This is where the real battle begins.”
This was the Blue Spirit God’s second phase.
Its defense plummeted, but in exchange, its attack power and speed increased dramatically.
While we didn’t necessarily need to exploit its elemental weakness, this form was far more difficult to overcome than the first phase.
The problem was.
“I’ve already reached my limit. I’ve nearly exhausted my mana and talismans.”
“Mir, I’m also starting to feel the strain…”
Tae-ryeon and Yul-ha.
No—even the Guild members holding back the spirits from joining the fight were rapidly depleting their stamina.
The Blue Spirit God had only just entered its second phase.
At this rate, we wouldn’t be able to bring it down.
And there was no way I didn’t already know that.
“It’s fine.”
From the moment I signed the contract with the Taegeuk Guild.
From the moment I decided to face the Blue Spirit God.
There was someone I sought out first, someone I spoke with and prepared alongside.
A figure capable of taking great interest in the Blue Spirit God—an Evil God that is magic itself.
Yet also one of the Continent’s greatest mages, someone who would prove invaluable in conquering the Blue Spirit God.
I needed to request his support.
And now.
“Knight Commander Raymond Mistborn.”
– Heh heh, so it’s finally my turn.
The Knight Commander of the Blue Moon Knight Order, known as the Empire’s mightiest mage.
The time had come to borrow Raymond Mistborn’s power.
