191 – The true value of ancient weapons

[Provides strategy hints for the final boss, Fate of Despair.]

[Hint:: Now you and the fate of despair are the same.]

In the past, I would have been angry and thought this was some nonsense, but not now.

The word “Same” Meant that it had always been different, and it wasn’t anymore.

Before, it was impossible to even attack, but now it is possible to kill.

Just telling you that would have been of great help.

‘There is no data from past attacks, so data from previous rounds cannot be loaded.’

But it didn’t matter.

I grew enough to overcome that, and it was okay because I was always at a disadvantage.

Those countless hardships have grown me to the point where I can naturally accept even my current situation.

I got a chance to attack an impossible boss.

You don’t know the boss’ patterns or abilities, and you have to catch him on the first try.

Just getting the opportunity under these adverse conditions was enough.

“…You always surprise me.”

The fate of despair could no longer let out the voice that rang in my head.

The voice that seemed to be giving revelations, like an omniscient and omnipotent god, was now over.

He, like me, had fallen into a position where he could die at any time.

“It was that kind of voice, and…”

It looked like that.

A fate of despair is revealed.

A real face, not just black eyes floating in the air or surrounded by black smoke as seen in games.

“It looks disgusting.”

The fate of despair was like clay imitating the shape of a person.

I tried to imitate the appearance to act like a human, but the details were lacking.

No, there was no detail at all.

It feels like looking at a mannequin painted black.

The face had no facial features and darkness filled the place.

Yes, now I see that the fate of despair is like scooping up the universe and applying it to the body.

A deep void without any stars seemed to resemble the shape of a person.

“I didn’t do it, you did it.”

“Really? I guess I came up with a form that was easy to attack and that’s what happened.”

Humanoid bosses tended to fall into the category of not having many variables.

First of all, the vital points were often similar to those of a real person, and the movements were easy to predict.

Even if we ignore the structure of the human body and move, there are still limits to how humans can move.

At first glance, you can see that the limbs are stretching or spreading out.

No matter how many of these abilities there were, as long as the starting point was the human body, there was always a gap.

‘Where did the ancient weapon go again?’

Although it appeared as if it would do something more, the impact was very minimal.

Of course, it seems like the conditions for appearing and finding Ding Dong Dang have been met.

Still, there was a feeling of inadequacy.

“Are you nervous? You have to attack me alone.”

The fate of despair immediately opened its mouth, perhaps showing its emotions on its face.

“Hey, it’s loud.”

I finally said what I wanted to say for a long time.

Until now, I listened to everything they said to find clues to attack, but there was no need to do that anymore.

He wasn’t a guy that could be solved by listening to him, and now it was just a matter of whether or not to attack him.

And I have always been an honor student in these matters.

[The first special effect of the ancient weapon activates.]

[From now on, all attacks you use will be effective against the Fate of Despair.]

Okay, it’s time to start suppressing him.

As if waiting for the right moment, the effects of the ancient weapon continued and I jumped straight towards the fate of despair.

‘A sure win for the player.’

If all attacks worked effectively, there was no need to hesitate about what to use first.

[Use Magnum EX at maximum output.]

Fight back with all your might from the first attack.

Multiple attacks in a short period of time to make people go crazy and then see the reaction.

That was the first way to identify patterns.

[Use thread knitting.]

[Call the command corps.]

[Pepais, the Spirit King of Explosion, unlocks all his power.]

[The black orbit operates beyond its limits.]

The most important thing when raising Lee Seok-hyun was not to be limited by weapons.

That was the reason why I chose wire in the first place.

The reason for not using a sword that is generally known to be effective was due to the special nature of the situation.

When trying to control the fate of despair, I tried using many weapons, but they always failed.

That’s why I didn’t think it meant much to get a good weapon.

The conclusion reached was to strengthen the body.

‘Now is the peak.’

The data that captured Karan also has specifications that go a long way when it comes to the body.

That was the achievement I have achieved so far.

Bang!

Unable to endure the endless violence, the fate of despair was blown away and thrown into the wall.

As expected from the reaction just now, the guy hasn’t properly adapted to his body yet.

It must be difficult for someone who has always looked down on others with uncertainty to try to make a move.

“…You used a lot of brains.”

Although you couldn’t see his expression, the guy let out an unpleasant voice and slowly got up from his seat.

No, I was trying to get up.

“I’m using my body a lot.”

Bang!

Immediately throw a front kick to the face, pinning him deeply into the wall again.

Use thread to bind the guy’s limbs and extract as much mana from his body as possible.

The deceptiveness of omitting the techniques and deriving only the results shows its true value.

[A spear that kills even gods – Rataira’s chant has ended.]

A spear held by a mythical being handed down from the North.

A weapon appears that punishes the wicked and blesses the weak.

The goal was so close that there was no need to set one.

“I wonder how long you’ll be so relaxed.”

Because there is no detailed explanation of how effective it is.

Now that I let my guard down, I had no choice but to accumulate as much damage as possible at this moment.

Guguguguguguguk.

Just as Lataira was about to be plunged straight into the fate of despair.

A translucent membrane was created between it and me, and it completely blocked the attack.

“The jokes are a bit too much. I don’t like this kind of fun.”

“I wasn’t having fun from the beginning.”

Blocking this meant that my attack was that much of a threat.

It was proof that powerful strikers that were not focused on techniques that could be activated at any time caused sufficient damage.

‘You could say that he suffered a brief condition after being hit by Magnum, but has now recovered.’

This wasn’t a game anymore, but when I was attacking him, I had no choice but to think strictly in terms of the game.

I guessed that this was the inner meaning of what Ding Dong Daeng said.

It was obvious that he would act according to the ‘game’ and not the world of Final Destiny.

‘Because to you, this was all a game.’

It was an escape from reality for me, and now I can breathe and live in the world.

To him, it was just a stage to play with his toy.

And this was the difference between him and me, and now that gap has been completely narrowed.

“Just because the eye level is the same doesn’t mean everything you see is the same.”

The fate of despair did not lose its composure and waved its hand towards the empty space.

I immediately tried to push the spear in and fell off the guy.

Zech.

The space is erased like scribbling on a paint board with an eraser.

The part where the hand gestured turned into a void with nothing in it and became empty.

If I hadn’t avoided it, it was clear that I would have disappeared right away.

‘If I get hit with just one hit, I’ll die instantly.’

You have to complete the no-hit perfect clear on your first attempt.

Only at this level could I say that it looked like the final boss I was going to attack.

‘The reason why the weapon in mythology is so effective is probably because he was a god who didn’t originally exist here?’

My Magnum was correct, but I assume the reason for rejecting Rataira.

It was obvious that the beings who existed as true gods probably wanted to kill the fate of despair.

Something that wasn’t even a god couldn’t look good by pretending to be a god and controlling the world.

In that case, I decided to chant that type of magic first, and the most important thing was how to inflict damage.

‘I should have just plugged in the Rataira right away at first.’

It was comfortable when I stood there dumbly, not knowing anything.

Now, he was showing off his displeasure after being hit a few times.

When a face without any facial features looks at me, an eerie feeling spreads through my skin.

Now was the real beginning.

++++++++++

“You look like a rat.”

Fate of Despair directly expressed what it felt.

When I was just watching Seokhyun Lee, I thought he was a bouncy ball that was easy to play with.

An object that cannot be predicted where it will go and always creates interesting events.

But now, looking at it like this, he was a rat.

If you thought you could kill it, it was already digging a hole and hiding.

If you let your guard down, it will come at you in an instant, attack, and then disappear.

“You answered sincerely earlier, but are you tired now?”

Huh, huh, huh.

Lee Seok-hyun’s breathing fills the anthill.

The dark, perfect environment for hiding was a great stage for Lee Seok-hyun to be active.

After belatedly realizing this fact, the fate of despair immediately released its power.

“I will no longer let you have your way.”

No fatal damage has been inflicted yet, but the guy was clearly looking straight at him.

A face that is not one of frustration or despair, but one that truly harbors hope that one can kill oneself.

I really didn’t like the fate of despair.

“Creation.”

Although he fell from the position of god, his power still remained.

This means that even if it is only debris, it is enough to reassemble the space.

The anthill changes.

No, everything changes.

The dark and dark ant cave shines brightly and turns into a white space where nothing exists.

A world that extends endlessly, but where nothing exists, and where the distinction between heaven and earth is not clear.

A place where Lee Seok-hyeon hid while engaging in guerrilla warfare and cannot be attacked.

“You no longer receive environmental benefits.”

Are you hopeless?

I wanted to ask this question to Seokhyun Lee.

Seokhyun Lee was looking straight at himself with an undisturbed face.

Yes, it was that face.

A face that finds hope despite hundreds or thousands of failed attempts.

A look in his eyes that seems certain that there is a strategy.

I really wanted to crush it.

“It’s the end.”

And now it was time to make that wish come true.

A situation where there is no space to escape and no way to escape.

The fate of despair swung its hand, imagining crushing Lee Seok-hyun.

Snip!

The hand was cut off before it could sweep away the space where Lee Seok-hyun was.

“…?”

An unbelievable situation that happened in an instant.

Fate of Despair turned its head in the direction from which the attack came to resolve the question.

“Are you…?”

The fate of despair was perplexing.

This is because people who should never exist appeared one after another.

“If you ask that, it makes us sound like villains.”

“We are friends, friends of the common people.”

It was a moment when the true value of ancient weapons was revealed.
