Chapter 182 Touching Behind (3)

Kang Shin-hyuk couldn’t afford to joke around. He hadn’t drawn enough attention by throwing his sword, as now the monster was opening its mouth towards the kingdom.

“Ah, shit!” It was a scene he thought was familiar. The crystal on the monster’s head began to sparkle as an overwhelming amount of energy began to well up in its throat.

“It’s a breath attack.” He had seen the wyverns breathe fire, but nothing that reached this scale. And definitely not from a monster that looked like a large chicken! It was high-density energy incomparable to the wyverns.

‘Isn’t it a light property? It’s condensing light energy down, just watching it is helpful to my light mastery training… no, now’s not the time!’ Kang Shin-hyuk’s mind was spinning. He was still trying to make himself huge, but it was impossible right now. There was only one other thing that came to his mind. Kang Shin-hyuk put an orb into the sword.

-After fusing with the [Great Heavenly Spirit], some of the original traits of the Godslayer have been temporarily restored. The Godslayer has become SS+ rank. The sword’s strength and power have been amplified, and the power of all special abilities is maximized.

-You can now handle the special abilities [Absorption] and [Generate] of the Great Heavenly Spirit.

-Special ability [Release] has been surprisingly temporarily unlocked. He threw the sword at the monster’s throat again and made it grow. He hoped it would be enough to stop that breath attack.

-Quoooaaaa!

The sword struck the monster in its open mouth as light spilled out.

‘Absorb it and release it!’ The Great Heavenly Spirit radiated purple as it pulled in the light flowing out of the monster’s mouth. The energy wasn’t something that could be handled even with an SS+ rank treasure, but thanks to its special ability after eating Excalibur, it had a strong resistance to light.

-Quoooo!

The giant monster continued to let out the energy even in the midst of its anguish as it scratched at the large thorn in its neck. The purple stained sword absorbed most of the energy and released it immediately after, exploding the rest of the energy in its throat.

-A 15,000HP bonus from this administrator who admires your courage!

“Thank you, but…!” Kang Shin-hyuk remembered that the sword had been deflected before. He wasn’t able yet to grasp this foe as the crystal in its head continued to shine.

-Cuaaaaaah!

The scene that followed astonished him. The Godslayer sword shrunk and fell out of the monster’s neck. Kang Shin-hyuk returned it to his hands and tried to fire it off again, but the sword stiffened in the air and wouldn’t budge. It was some new ability that this chicken monster was using. Its eyes were slit like a snake’s, and they flashed Shin-hyuk’s entire body yellow.

“Huh…?!” He was wracked by indescribable pain. It felt like everything that made up his body was forcibly stopped and hardened into stone. It was even affecting his spiritual power; only his Golden Dragon escaped from its influence to fight against it.

“Oh…”

-I understand now! A chicken head, snake’s tail…a basilisk! What a terrible hybrid of light-handling basilisks!

Kang Shin-hyuk gasped for breath, only able to breathe at all thanks to his trait Golden Dragon. The world beyond the gate was beyond the reach of the Hero Universe, given the administrator’s lateness in providing that information.

-Cuooooo…!

It was staring at him, recognizing his existence, but the breath attack continued to shoot straight towards the kingdom. Had it been a day before, the whole kingdom would’ve been swept away in an instant. However, just before it could touch the top of the castle, a shield wrapped around the city. It was the special ability Guardian that had been imparted into the walls.

‘But that won’t last long.’ When the belt’s spiritual power ran out, the kingdom would be wiped out. No, if the power of the one who made the belt died, it would be over before it ran out.

‘I have to stop it.’ He clenched his jaw and forced the energy of the Golden Dragon to circulate throughout his entire body. The fact that it even slowed him was a power related to the soul. However, his Golden Dragon was fine because it was a power based on his trait.

‘In other words, if it’s my trait…’ Guardian Golden Dragon, the power that puts the power of a dragon in one to turn the tides of any fight. It could strengthen his allies and weaken the enemies. Kang Shin-hyuk’s eyes flashed golden as the flow of energy intensified in his body.

‘I can overcome its ability…!’ It was at the moment. The Godslayer sword, which was frozen in the air, began to twitch. It re-enlarged itself, emitting the brilliant light it had absorbed from the basilisk’s breath. Kang Shin-hyuk immediately fired it.

-Quaaaah!

At the same time, the [Absorption] ability was maximized as he activated the special ability Guardian.

“Break…!” The breath attack that was pouring out onto the city was blocked by the shield formed by the Godslayer as it poured out the light. Originally, no matter its spiritual power, it would’ve been impossible, but with the absorption ability, he managed to recycle the light energy and the melting to create it again.

-Ahhhh!

The beast focused on the sword once more, but it didn’t shrink. Instead, since his gaze fell away from Kang Shin-hyuk, he was able to move freely once more.

‘Now.’ His repressed spiritual power began to spread out through his body once more. He recalled the moment the Godslayer sword became huge, that will that drove it.

“Whoo…!” He would not be suppressed by the laws of this world. He proved it by making the city walls. If he tried calmly, he would certainly be able to find his original form.

“…!” At that moment, his spiritual power and Golden Dragon began to mix together to extend outside his body, forming a frame around him.

-Success member. 3,000HP bonus!

 “Ah!” Kang Shin-hyuk realized it the next moment; the sight before him was different. The bike followed a second later, matching his size.

“Oh…” His head was dizzy as pressure bore down on him from everywhere. It was like the world was suppressing him. He was breaking the law of Kieron, so a strong backlash was to be expected. But, he could keep himself intact. Kang Shin-hyuk had finally acquired the unique strength of a member of the Hero Universe.

“How much time do I have left?”

-About 1 minute and 30 seconds.”

“Then, I have no choice but to try.” At first, it felt ridiculous to fight the monster directly, but that chicken head, which seemed to fill the world, now seemed like a surmountable foe.

“Quo…?

Seeing Kang Shin-hyuk had become massive, it turned its breath on him. The basilisk’s gaze overlapped with the pressure from the world to place a terrible burden on his body, but Kang Shin-hyuk recalled the Godslayer sword to his hand. As long as he could resist with Golden Dragon Fighter, that ability wouldn’t hit him again.

“It’s my turn, chicken-head.” Moreover, Kang Shin-hyuk was able to exert his influence on the enemy, strengthening himself as he weakened it. Standing on the same level as the basilisk, he could now affect him.

-Quo?!

It screamed and twisted as it felt something wrong with its body. Its size began to decrease. Perhaps due to it being weakened, it was now being affected by the laws of Kieron. It was a great opportunity, now that it was weakened, and it wouldn’t come again.

-Quoooo?! Kuoohohooo!

It twisted its body and let out a powerful shriek as the crystal on his head began to spew out a dazzling light. Kang Shin-hyuk activated his light mastery as it moved out in all directions. At the same time, he activated the absorption ability of the Godslayer to converge the light into his sword.

―Light Mastery (SS) skill proficiency has increased!

―Light Mastery (SS) skill proficiency has increased!

“Dirty…!” It was impossible to completely absorb the aggressive light as it spread over his body to burn his skin. However, despite that, it did very little damage thanks to the sword’s light resistance.

*Sacred Sword: Empowers those who hold this weapon and allows them to handle the power of light. It also has a strong resistance to light.

With the power of the Great Heavenly Spirit added to it, the attack could be endured. But it went beyond enduring it, as most of the light was being turned into energy stored in the sword.

“It would be a walk in the park if I could handle the Dark Spirit Pearl properly.” But it meant nothing since he couldn’t. Kang Shin-hyuk poured the energy overflowing from the orb into the blue cow, concentrating the rest into the sword. Light wouldn’t work well against those who dealt with it, so it was turned into pure energy and converted into spiritual power.

“Let’s go.”

-Vwooom

The Godslayer sword and the blue cow resonated with one mind as Kang Shin-hyuk positioned himself to attack.

-Quoooh!

The body of a giant snake wrapped around the chicken head, forming a sphere around it. It was a strange shield meant to protect it from the Godslayer.

-It must be a defensive skill that makes use of petrification magic. It will stop the movement of any object within a certain range.

“Is it possible to stop something it doesn’t see?”

-It seems only to affect a short range around its body.

What a fraudulent ability. Kang Shin-hyuk clicked his tongue but didn’t give in to despair. Unlike before, he now held the sword in his hands. He could apply the power of flesh control now that he was grasping it. Added to the trait of the holy sword it absorbed, it could break through this shield to cut off its head.

-Hurry.

‘Whoo…’ Even with the administrator’s urging, Kang Shin-hyuk was in no hurry as he calmed his mind. He was one with the sword in his hand through his breathing. The holy sword trait activated to reinforce the power in his body, further sharpened by the flesh control ability.

“…Hah!” The blue cow rushed in with a burst of speed. Blue sparks lashed out, adding lightning and wind power to his sword. A golden airflow stretched out from behind it as Kang Shin-hyuk flashed forward like a comet atop his bike.

“Let’s go!”

-Quek?!

The moment Shin-hyuk’s eyes opened, the bike collided with the basilisk’s body, drawing a blue line through the sky.
