131

Sanctuary of Evil (2)

Light fell.

A strike closer to a judgment than a breath attack.

Wherever the light touched, the air burst first.

Then flesh evaporated.

The massive bodies of the giant demons reacted a beat late.

They seemed to stop for a moment.

Bang.

Bang bang.

Bang bang bang—!!

Explosions.

Waves of light swept across the entire Sanctuary of Evil.

The giant demons had no time to scream.

They simply vanished within the light.

Without even a moment to catch their breath.

Ding-!

[Boss appearance conditions unlocked!]

[Boss is appearing!]

.

.

.

[Boss ‘Demon of Great Evil Baal’ has appeared!]

A notification announcing Baal’s appearance popped up.

“…He’s here.”

Baal.

Before his regression, when he faced this creature, he had no summons.

What Kim Jun realized then was one thing.

Summons weren’t essential, but.

This wasn’t an opponent to face alone, at least.

“Really disgustingly huge.”

Rumble rumble rumble…

Vibrations rolled in.

Tremors that made the earthquakes Hyeonmu caused feel like child’s play.

The ground of the Sanctuary of Evil, no, what he had believed to be ground.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud-!!

Slowly began to tilt.

“What, what is this! The ground is tilting!”

“You didn’t know either?”

“Of course I didn’t know! I was only down below!”

His sense of balance crumbled.

His vision twisted, and the horizon disappeared.

“How dare… who is it…”

A low, deep voice that seemed to scrape the earth.

“Who has awakened me from my slumber…”

The massive body slowly moved.

Creak creak creak!

Just from slightly raising its body, the entire sanctuary shook as if it would flip over.

And only then did it become visible.

What he had thought was the ‘ground’ of the Sanctuary of Evil.

Nearly half of that area.

The boss of the giant demons.

The Grand Duke of Hell.

It was Baal’s back.

“Hmm?”

Andras looked down at the scene and tilted his head for a moment.

Then, focusing intently on something somewhere.

“Puhehehehe, puhehehehehehe!”

He couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

“Master, look at that. That!”

“What now, dude.”

Andras pointed to one side of the ground with the tip of his sword.

“Weren’t you just sprawled on the ground curled up in a ball?!”

At those words, Kim Jun also followed his gaze.

It was definitely strange.

The earth had not simply cracked open.

It was abnormally deeply carved out in places, as if legs had been folded inward.

Winding traces stretched on continuously.

The deeper grooves were connected, interlocking with each other.

“…curled up like a shrimp.”

At Kim Jun’s muttering, Andras’s laughter grew louder.

“Right?! Right?!”

And the central part.

Two enormous depressions, exceptionally—truly exceptionally—carved out in perfect circles.

Symmetry.

A curve close to perfection.

Kim Jun was speechless for a moment.

“Bwahahahahaha!”

Andras grabbed his stomach.

“Shut up for a bit. Focus.”

“…Khehem.”

Despite the conversation mixed with laughter, the earth continued to move.

Dudududududu-!!

As Baal raised his body a bit more.

Ttiring-!

[Boss Information Confirmed]

[Boss : Great Evil Demon, Baal]

[Grade : S]

[Level : 95]

[Health :

100,000,000,000,000

/100,000,000,000,000]

[Rewards : 「Gigantification」,「Earthquake Wave」]

Baal’s information appeared.

“Hmm?”

It felt like the grade and level had changed slightly.

「Earthquake Wave」 was a reward he had obtained before regression, so that was expected.

But the skill called 「Gigantification」 was new.

This reward hadn’t existed before regression.

‘Did the difficulty increase and the rewards change too?’

While lost in thought for a moment.

Ttiring-!

Another notification appeared in the corner of his vision.

—-

[Part Destruction Possible!]

—-

– Right arm, Left arm

– Right leg, Left leg

– Right wing, Left wing

– Head

[Part Destruction Effects]

– Greatly increased damage to main body

[Part Break Effect]

– Significantly increased main body damage

[Warning]

– Same type body parts require linked destruction within time limit

– If linking fails, body part destruction effects nullified and health recovered

—-

The distance from one arm tip to the other arm tip alone was equivalent to crossing twice the size of Yeouido entirely.

How was it before regression?

About 2 minutes to destroy one arm.

About 1 minute to move to the other arm while the destroyed arm regenerated.

And about 2 minutes to destroy the other arm.

A total of 5 minutes was needed.

But the given time was insufficient.

He crossed terrain, endured shockwaves, and even attacked while constantly running.

But during that time.

The destroyed arm regenerated.

The result was always the same.

Body part destruction linking failed.

Damage increase effect nullified.

Back to the beginning again.

After repeating this countless times, Kim Jun had no choice but to reach a conclusion.

That he couldn’t utilize the advantages of body part destruction alone.

That he had no choice but to abandon the gimmick and push through with pure firepower.

But.

“It’ll be different now.”

Nyong Nyong, who received Kim Jun’s gaze, and Andras riding on top of her.

Buuuuuung-!

Fly toward Baal’s left arm.

And Yongyong following behind them.

Appearing at some point.

Belphegor emerged from Kim Jun’s shadow, transforming from a heavy body to a nimble one.

Kim Jun’s four summoned creatures.

Pat-

All fly toward Baal’s left arm.

Kim Jun thought.

What would be the most efficient arrangement?

The decision he made after brief consideration was.

“I’ll handle the right side alone.”

It was.

Kim Jun’s summoned creatures.

All equally displayed tremendous presence.

Azure Dragon and Golden Dragon.

The Emperors of East and Center.

And Andras.

Belphegor, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Among the Hunters, no, ‘beings’ currently climbing the Tower of Trials.

Excluding Kim Jun’s companions, they were the most powerful beings.

No Hunter could face them and win.

That was a clear fact.

Nevertheless.

Zzzzt-

Kim Jun’s current power.

Crackle-

It surpasses all four of them combined.

No, to be precise, even if you add his companions.

Crackle-

One human.

Is stronger than two dragons and two demons combined.

Stronger than even more than that combined.

Crackle-

Kim Jun, who entered 「Yeonje」 state.

Activates 「Attribute Mutation」.

A long cooldown of one week.

What can be obtained in exchange for that is.

For [60] seconds.

The attribute he perfectly controls.

Completely converting it to something else.

Whoooosh-!

The fire attribute.

The highest power attribute Kim Jun possesses.

That.

Crackle-!

He converts to lightning.

Lightning energy wraps around 「Dragon Eater」.

Zzzt-!

Crackle-!

Magic power runs wild.

Lightning condensed with power equal to that of fire.

Its destructive power is.

There’s nothing to compare it to.

Soon, on top of that.

Whoooosh-!

“Black flames” engulf everything.

Black flames devour the lightning.

No, the black flames become part of the lightning.

Black and blue light.

Lightning where two destructive properties are intertwined as one.

“Let’s finish this quickly.”

Lightning is fundamentally irregular.

It’s out of control.

Unable to determine the route.

That chaos is the essence of lightning.

But it’s different under Kim Jun’s hands.

My resolve is being consumed.

The magical power is controlled.

Thousands of battles forged in fire.

The experience of climbing up to the 100th floor of hell before regression.

All of that accumulated precision.

Lightning that I’ve never handled before.

Hands that know the principles are the same, only the attributes differ.

Skillfully squeezes it tight.

Crackle-!

Lightning blooms from the “Dragon Eater”.

Whoooosh-!

That moment.

Abandons all irregularity.

Aligns all madness.

A straight line.

A pure straight line.

Black and blue, dark blue lightning.

Like an arrow.

─────────!!

Toward Baal’s massive right hand.

That inescapable straight line.

Extends straight forward.

Crackle-!!!

The moment the lightning touches his arm.

Everything explodes.

It’s not a simple impact.

Lightning’s characteristic irregularity penetrates.

Spreads inside and outside the arm.

What had been condensed into one point.

Branches out again.

Spreads inside and outside the arm.

Splits apart.

Bounces away.

Starting from Baal’s arm.

Burns all the nerves in his body.

A single strike.

A shockwave of destruction.

Sweeps through his entire body.

Ding-!

[Health :

704,07,543,400

/100,000,000,000,000]

[Baal’s ‘right arm’ has been destroyed!]

[Baal’s ‘right arm’ recovery: ‘2 minutes’ remaining!]

“Graaah! You damn gnat!”

Baal screams.

His massive hand flails as it attacks Kim Jun.

But.

“Can you reach me?”

As if.

Kim Jun’s body was already preparing for the next move.

At that very moment.

Left side.

An attack toward Baal’s left arm.

Nyong Nyong and Yongyong.

Andras and Belphegor.

Kim Jun’s four summoned creatures.

Simultaneously unleash their ultimate skills.

Whoooosh-!

The Eastern Emperor unleashes everything.

Completely incompatible.

Water and fire intertwine and rotate.

Wind wraps around them.

Lightning runs between them.

Colors change rhythmically.

Blue, red, white, yellow.

And purple.

Each attribute is vivid while also.

Invading each other.

Pushing away.

Mixing together.

What extends outward is.

Beautiful yet irregular.

Where order and chaos exist simultaneously.

Such a beam of light.

That.

Flies toward Baal’s left arm.

Kuuuuuuuuu-

The central Emperor condenses everything.

Golden light gathers to a single point.

Gathers more.

Gathers even more.

Compressed.

Concentrated.

The golden light grows increasingly dense.

Brightens.

Brightens even more.

A mass of pure energy.

Tremendous mass.

Bursts forth from the Golden Dragon’s mouth.

Simple yet overwhelming.

That light is purely golden.

Only pure power exists.

What extends outward is.

Massive and clear.

Without complexity.

Toward annihilation alone.

That.

Flies toward Baal’s left arm.

Charrrrrr…

The giant demon raises his sword.

Blood overflows.

「Crimson Blood Sea」 cuts through the air.

The first slash.

A red sword trail remains.

The trajectory of blood.

Carrying the aura of madness.

Stops in mid-air.

As if not yet finished.

As if waiting for what’s next.

Shines within it.

The second slash.

The sword descends diagonally.

In an X shape.

Meets the first sword trail.

Two lines of blood intersect.

Red afterimages overlap.

The blood sword trails penetrate each other.

That.

Flies toward Baal’s left arm.

Srrring-

Belphegor raises his dagger.

Just wanting to end it.

No other emotions arise.

So he slashes.

Slashes through empty air.

That.

Flies toward Baal’s left arm.

Kwagagagagagaga-!

Jjeoeoeoeoeoeng-!

Chajajajak-!

──!

「Ten Thousand Forms Return to Dragon Style」.

「Heavenly Mandate」.

「Infernal Madness」.

「Silent」.

Water, fire, wind, lightning.

Earth, and light.

Madness and nothing but blood.

And silence.

[Health :

309,84,687,200

/100,000,000,000,000]

[Baal’s ‘left arm’ has been destroyed!]

[Baal’s ‘arm’ part destruction complete!]

[Damage received increased by 20%!]

There was no need to destroy other parts.

His health had already plummeted.

[「Attribute Mutation」 remaining time: [19] seconds!]

Kim Jun activates 「Fire Blade」.

No.

Tzzzzzzzt-!

Rather, it’s a Thunder Blade.

Massive lightning erupts from his fingertips.

It wavers back and forth.

The lightning branches in all directions, cutting through the air like the veins of a leaf.

Thin branches extend in every direction, spreading to every corner of the staircase.

The size keeps growing. It surpasses the height of the Sanctuary of Evil, piercing right through it.

The lightning itself maintains the shape of a massive sword while simultaneously splitting apart.

Irregular energies rampage both toward the center and outward.

The lightning that had been condensed to a single point now transformed into uncontrollable madness.

The sword roars. It flashes. It howls.

That lightning.

Shwooooosh-!

Baal’s head.

Crack-!

Crushes it in a single blow.

[Evil Demon Baal eliminated!]

[Rewards will be distributed!]
