Chapter 151

Chapter 151.

God’s power seduced humans through the aftermath of their mana flowing from the place itself. The humans that took that power spread their influence, and Kenato was the most influential person due to the sacred treasure he owned. And the humans that didn’t want to be influenced by the gods were getting infected by it.

“That, arrogant human…!”

But what if the mana of God that confused the humans entering the battlefield was concentrated on one person?

“What, how…?”

It wasn’t an easy task even for Jung Si-woo who had the Dragon’s Dignity. Even though he could absorb any kind of mana, he still had limits in terms of the amount.

“Whew, haaa…”

His hiding skill became of unexpected help. Hiding was a quite complicated skill that stimulated the exterior mana through the internal mana of the body to bury the user’s presence. In battle, Jung Si-woo came up with the idea of being able to actively manipulate the exterior mana according to the level of activity and direction of his interior mana.

That’s right: through spreading his mana to draw in all the external mana.

[Player Skill, Mana Drain (Active) is learned through permanently spending 20 mana. You can now absorb mana from your surroundings based on level.]

Drain, it meant to absorb or to deplete. He just learned the skill so that he couldn’t absorb another person’s mana directly, but it was possible to drain the mana of the god from the air. Of course, if he were a human who was just good with mana manipulation, it wouldn’t be possible for him to come up with this skill. It was because he was the owner of the unique ability Steal.

“Whew…it’s pretty good. I think I’m starting to somewhat understand how to manipulate the exterior mana.”

“Such skill, I’ve never seen one.”

How long would she continue to be surprised at his abilities? To what extent was his talent on display for coming up with such a skill through hiding? Soo-rin decided not to think about what she had been doing all along. Jung Si-woo absorbed only God’s mana from the air and made it into his mana while shooting out his Critical Bullet in all directions. If his goal were to create havoc in the middle of the battlefield, he was excelling!

“It’s him. He took away Dweseir’s sacred treasure!”

“Oh my goodness, I can’t hear the voice of Paeto…it’s his doing! He is toying with us!”

“The horrible migraine…is gone.”

“Wow, who on earth is…”

Even if Jung Si-woo was powerful, it was difficult for him to absorb all the powers of the gods that filled up the vast battlefield. But those who had been suffering from their voices didn’t have to be in pain anymore.

“What are you guys doing? All stay behind me!”

“Fo-for now follow his lead!”

“He’s blocking all the gods’ power. It’s uncertain how long he can manage to do it, but…now is our chance!”

Following the leader of the resistance, several thousand soldiers stood behind Jung Si-woo. Moreover, there weren’t any that turned into the gods’ disciples. Even Kenato was surprised by this ridiculous power that blocked the influences of two gods by himself.

“That bastard…”

Jung Si-woo’s confidence made him remember his forgotten past. Before becoming a disciple of the legion god, he led the humans to defend Potupou from the god’s invasion…and now, he became one of the god’s most loyal subjects. He was proud of that, yet…he should be proud of it, but…

“He couldn’t possibly deny…the name of Dweseir.”

Dweseir is all mighty, powerful, and absolute. He had no choice but to become his disciple, so someone lesser than him can’t deny Dweseir’s existence. That’s right. He needed a proper lesson.

“Now that you’ve confidently come out don’t think about running away!”

After killing the small fries in the surroundings, Kenato shouted and charged in towards Jung Si-woo. His mana activated and amplified, causing that resembled tree trunks to come out from his body to devour the area.

“I will make you remember the greatness of Dweseir!”

“That guy…is mine, Kenato.”

“Ha!”

It wasn’t only Kenato that was offended by Jung Si-woo. Paira, a previous one of the Pentagon leaders like him, stood next to him. Jung Si-woo hadn’t encountered her on this battlefield. And he expected to come across with her when the battle was coming to an end. Yet, an element of surprise showed up.

“It’s important for me to teach you the greatness of Dweseir but wait for now. I’ll take care of that bastard first.”

“I feel the same. Let’s kill that disgusting guy, then settle things by ourselves.”

This shouldn’t be happening. It was a moment where two people worshipping different gods made a temporary alliance for the common good.

[You can’t go.]

“Krgh!?”

A greatsword struck Paira’s stomach before she could approach Jung Si-woo! She took the unexpected blowhard and flew away, but she turned her body into the fire as she soared in the air. Kenato didn’t care about her and continued charging towards Jung Si-woo. Paira tried her best to reduce the damage she received and stared fiercely at the Dragon Knight Caina.

“You…you’re the same kind as that bastard, aren’t you?”

[Don’t treat me as the same as that monster.]

Caina sneered as she charged at Paira, summoning her mana once more.

[I’m less of a monster than my master.]

Meanwhile, Kenato ignored Paira as he fought with Jung Si-woo. Jung Si-woo confidently absorbed all mana in the atmosphere while shooting out his Critical Bullet in all directions. Kenato’s longsword missed Jung Si-woo’s neck by just an inch, narrowly deflected by Jung Si-woo’s mana bullets.

“A petty move!”

“It doesn’t make any sense if you talk about it, argh.”

Jung Si-woo could parry the longsword, but his mana bullets couldn’t suppress his aura. Right before clashing with Kenato, he took out his Devil’s Judgement and blocked the longsword. Kenato’s eyes widened.

“You bastard, that…”

“Heave ho!”

At that moment, the hammerhead created a massive shock that sent Kenato flying back. He sprung up, still slightly reeling from the shock.

“Krgh…another petty skill! This is…the definition of a skill!”

Surprisingly, he reverted the shock in the air and gained back his balance, reimbuing his longsword with his mana as he swung it toward Jung Si-woo. It looked less refined than the mana bullet with its form, but it was far more powerful. The mana that was compressed at its maximum limit resembled the wind blade from some martial arts show.

“Phew.”

Jung Si-woo was able to carefully take a look at Kenato’s movement in slow motion with his Dragon’s Dignity, but his body movement was a bit slower when compared to his extreme sense of time. In other words, he didn’t have the time to evade it. That was why Jung Si-woo applied the mana drain onto the moving blade. It wouldn’t absorb the mana contained in his body, but the mana sent outside could be absorbed!

‘Krgh, as expected, he took on the throne with his power.’

However, Jung Si-woo wasn’t able to drain that much mana. Although it was released through his weapon, the mana was still chained to Kenato. He succeeded in disrupting more than 30% of the mana, but he had to handle the rest. Jung Si-woo raised his hand right before the impact to block the attack.

“Argh!”

“With this, your arm is…hmm?”

Kenato looked at Jung Si-woo to see the result of his attack, but he went fish-eyed with disbelief. In the last second, the mana seemed to be disturbed, but it hit. Yet, Jung Si-woo was still there. The answer was revealed.

“Ah, my arm stings.”

Soo-rin’s healing was constantly being cast on him from the moment of impact, but the sting wasn’t disappearing. Jung Si-woo shoved off the remnants of his gauntlet that was destroyed; then he clenched his teeth. His hand was covered by black scales.

“Scales…!? Were you one of the disciples!”

“Don’t think I’m one of your kind, jerk. I’m a human.”

The defense of the Chaos Scale was superb. The amount of mana consumed was different according to the impact, but it was an excellent, then defense skill that was incomparable to the Stone Skin.

“No way a human can have such ability….

“Too much talk.”

Jung Si-woo lifted up his hammer and aimed at Kenato. His cold yet glaring stare stimulated Kenato to action once more.

“My mother once told me, why quarrel when you have a fist to punch with. Stop mumbling and come at me, bitch.”

“Krgh…krrrrragh!”

By the look of the result, the attack was completely blocked! It wasn’t weird for Kenato to burst into anger. He charged in a while, summoning the mana contained in his body to aim at Jung Si-woo’s neck!

“You litttttle shiiiiit!”

Based on the speed that his body could move alone, Jung Si-woo was far behind Kenato. His movement skills and combat skills from his mana and high level were immense. But Jung Si-woo excelled at his reflexes. As long as he evaded the attack, he could corner him with a formidable counter.

“Ha!”

“Kraaaggh!”

Kenato’s sword ferociously pounded on him several times in just one second. Jung Si-woo evaded them all and waited for the moment to strike back. The downside of the hammer was that the situation became tricky when the opponent was faster. There was even a saying that nothing could win over the sword in terms of techniques in 1 vs. 1 combat.

Of course, Jung Si-woo didn’t believe in it. To him, that was just bullshit uttered by those who couldn’t win over the fast enemies just with their strength. Regardless of the weapon, anyone could be beaten if the weapon were used well. That was what he believed in.

“Urgh.”

However, when Jung Si-woo continuously moved his body to evade the sword slashes, the mana from the edge of the sword seemed different. The mana in the surrounding, in other words, the mana on the trail of Kenato’s countless sword slashes, started to vibrate! Jung Si-woo realized what was going on. It must be an extension of the attack Kenato made earlier. An attempt to maintain every trail of mana to ambush him!

If Jung Si-woo didn’t realize it, he might have died without knowing why…however.

“Die!”

“Ha.”

[The skill Mana Drain has reached Lv4.]

When the skill was activated, the mana sword slashes that landed on him became a lot weaker, to the point that it wasn’t able to leave even a scratch on Jung Si-woo’s body that was covered with Chaos Scale. The reason was simple. The amount of mana absorbed by Jung Si-woo was much more than the mana Kenato was maintaining.

“Without this skill, I would have bled a bit with this attack. Whew, thank goodness.”

“You, You bastard…krrrrrrrrrrrrrragh!”

The provocation was successful! As Kenato’s fatal blow failed, he screamed out like a beast and protruded several tree trunks from his back! He already went out from the boundary of a human into a monster! The tentacles were a few meters long, and all of them tried to strike Jung Si-woo’s vitals.

“Gigantify!”

“Kargh!”

Jung Si-woo’s hammer became huge as it blew away all the trunks before knocking Kenato away! If he couldn’t be struck by mana, the hammer would do its job! Kenato took the blow that was strengthened with the power of the strike along with the Combat Rush, and he rolled away at the speed of the light.

“Haaaaa!”

Jung Si-woo quickly went after him, sending him another blow with the minimized hammer! It broke through the barrier made from the trunks without a sweat and gave him a good beating to the point that he was puking out blood. However, Jung Si-woo immediately backed away as he felt something bursting out from Kenato.

“Arggggggggggggh!”

And he realized he made a smart move. Another set of trunks protruded from him when he was stuck on the ground. Jung Si-woo started to get annoyed, as the trunks were endlessly springing out even after being crushed away.

And those trunks went after the disciples of the legion god on the battlefield, penetrating them instead of Jung Si-woo.
