I Login Alone-Chapter 152
Chapter 152.
The power of the legion god became more powerful when the number increased. To the gods that wanted to expand their forces, the ability of the legion god was considered a cheating skill. But there was a downside in that power. Like how the legion god existed as one and not as a group, his power existed for himself only.
“Kraaggggh!”
“Kwah!”
When Kenato and Paira clashed with Jung Si-woo and Caina, respectively, the army of the legion and the resistance clashed. Of course, there was a tension between the forces of the legion god and the flame god. However, the forces of the legion god were torn apart by the hundreds of tree trunks shot out by Kenato, converted into mana and energy.
“Steal…?”
“No, it’s not a skill. He just bound them all with the power of the legion god. So the true power of the legion god is…”
It might be an ability to bind everything as one for a single purpose. Everything was understandable considering what happened with the Red Tibades. But, understanding the principle and accepting them were two different things.
“That disgusting bastard, what on earth is he doing with the lives of his allies…”
[Ku…haaa.]
Kenato absorbed enough power and stood up. The number of the tree trunks gradually increased, but it stretched out towards his allies rather than Jung Si-woo. Like how the tree plunges into the ground and absorbs nutrients from it, Kenato’s body grew bigger as he took everything from them. Unlike the Red Tibades that maintained their forms as teddy bears, Kenato was beyond human as he was turning into a tree-like creature.
[This…is the power of Dweseir, the legion god.]
“Oh, all right. It looks like the worst.”
Seria Wilson, who was far behind Kenato in terms of strength, denied the power of Luinos till the end and resisted. On the other hand, Caina became a servant of Setnak while throwing away her humanity, yet she didn’t lose her love towards her brother. However, what was that creature that was growing even now? Taking away the lives of their previous companions, praising the name of the god that made him into a monster…for what was he living for?
[Come on, kiddo…I’ll make you remember the greatness of the god.]
“At least, it’s easier to beat the crap out of you now.”
Jung Si-woo lifted his hammer once again. Kenato started to move as he continued consuming his allies. His longsword now had several layers of tree trunks around it, and he swung it at Jung Si-woo.
[Diiiiie!]
“Tsk.”
His attack imbued with a strong inevitable force couldn’t be stopped head-on even by Jung Si-woo. In terms of simply speed and power, his strike could be considered to be at the divine level. However, Jung Si-woo loved to defy the irresistible force.
“Huwaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Why are you confronting it head-on like an idiot!”
“Kragggggh.”
His attack was fierce and strong, to the point that Jung Si-woo had momentarily bent his knee! But he didn’t back out. He clenched his teeth, and both of his arms hurt like hell. He could practically hear his bones cracking while holding off the tremendous power.
“I won’t be pushed back by this guy.”
That’s right. There wasn’t any reason, but it was simply his persistence.
“Ah, idiot…”
Soo-rin became disillusioned at Jung Si-woo, who was smart but didn’t use his brain in the critical moments. Still, she enchanted her healing spells to treat his severe wounds.
[Hmmm…?]
At that moment, Kenato realized Soo-rin was hiding within Jung Si-woo’s arms.
[Die all together!]
He lifted his other arm to crush the arrogant bastard who was standing up against him!
“Argh!”
Jung Si-woo somehow stood his ground and activated one of the hammer options, a poisonous flame. The flame fiercely arose and swallowed both of Kenato’s fists! However, Kenato was reborn with the essence of the god within him, allowing him to resist the flames despite his tree form. The B+ rank flames weren’t enough to stop him. Jung Si-woo thought of activating the A-rank Black Lightning, but it would likely be less effective than the flames.
[Are you trying to burn me with those petty flames…?]
“Ha!”
Jung Si-woo took a step back a little since he couldn’t bear the force applied to him, then narrowing the distance as soon as both of his arms recovered. Several thousands of tree branches from Kenato’s body combined in the air into a giant club to fall onto him. Jung Si-woo used his Dragon’s Dignity to move out of the club’s path.
“Eat this!”
[Kragh!]
A serious force struck Kenato’s body. Yet surprisingly, his body didn’t even flinch. Rather, strong roots arose from the place of impact and penetrated Jung Si-woo’s stomach.
[Corrosive resistance reached Lv7.]
“Oppa!”
“Kkgh…I’m all right!”
Getting stabbed in the stomach wasn’t as much a surprise as it has been more than half a year since Jung Si-woo became a player. He dodged the branches that blocked his sight in all directions and applied pressure on his stomach with his one hand as he landed. In the meanwhile, Soo-rin focused her magic on healing him at any cost.
“Healing magic isn’t supposed to be this risky…!”
“But you can do it. You’re all that I’ve got.”
“You idiot!”
[Bastard…]
But it was Kenato who was more surprised at the end of his one-sided assault.
[I wanted to inject the power of god into your body.]
“Ah, that thing won’t work on me. I’m not, isn’t, small fry like you.”
[Huh…? You arrogant bastard!]
Kenato was more infuriated despite winning the exchange. However, Jung Si-woo took a backstep to evade Kenato’s branches.
“It’s time to use this force or this will be difficult.”
“That was obvious from the start!”
“Even if I use it, it seems to be hard to deal a critical strike on him if I don’t use my Charge Strike.”
Every moment in combat was an opportunity to take a look at the enemy. His body was infused with too much mana, so it was difficult to conduct a detailed analysis of him. Still, it was possible to know the difference of strength between him and Jung Si-woo through Dragon’s Dignity.
“You’d say that you just didn’t want to lose after all.”
“The problem is…Charge Strike isn’t something I can use while blocking those fast attacks.”
Kenato looked like a monster from a comic. His level and mana were high, and his healing ability was superb. The situation called for miraculous power.
“But I got the solution. The order was wrong all along.”
[Kuwarggggggh!]
In the middle of a barrage of attacks, each of them powerful enough to kill Jung Si-woo, he spoke calmly while dodging them all.
“It would have been easier if we finished up the force of the flame god.”
If he imbued the power of scorching everyone easily into his hammer, everything would have become simpler. At least for now, this battle wouldn’t have been difficult to handle. However…Jung Si-woo glanced at Caina, who was battling with Paira on the other side of the battlefield. Their fight was also fierce. Caina’s eyes shone through the half-melted helmet, and she was smiling to the point that her teeth could be seen. She must be enjoying herself.
“And I don’t want to interfere with the battle she is having fun with.”
“Right now! Let’s go! Interrupt them!”
“Also, we have a card on our side.”
Jung Si-woo sighed deeply and held his hammer tight once more; then, he evaded exactly 19 more attacks by smoothly taking a step forward. His position was the best vantage for dealing the most damage to the enemy, and it allowed for the widest swing-up with his hammer.
“…Shall we go?”
And he used his strength. Activating the Charge Strike, he shouted.
“Se-ha now’s the chance!”
“Whoooooah!”
A bolt of lightning appeared.
[Krgh!?]
Although he knew about his growth, that was an amazing strike. An attack on Jung Si-woo, who stopped for a short moment to activate the Charge Strike, but it was rendered useless by Yong Se-ha, who undid his hiding and charged out fiercely!
[That small fry…!]
“Ha!”
The moment when Kenato swung his giant club to punish the hindrance that interrupted the battle, Yong Se-ha’s butterfly wings fluttered brightly with mana. In an instant, Yong Se-ha tilted 90 degrees and roared up into the sky before falling swiftly while imbuing all of his mana into his spear.
“Hiyyyaaaaaaaaa!”
[Die!]
Not all players with wings could mimic Yong Se-ha’s speed. It was the result of his time investment with the class Charger. It was a straight-lined charge that pressured the enemy without any openings, hesitation, nor wavering.
[How dare you!]
“Kragh!”
Although it lacked a bit of strength to defeat him in a frontal assault, it was powerful enough that Kenato had to use all his power to defend. Yong Se-ha’s lance crushed half of the club before getting shattered, and Yong Se-ha flung into the sky while spitting out blood as he couldn’t resist the impact.
“As an expected…excellent move, Yong Se-ha.”
Jung Si-woo helped him by controlling the mana in the atmosphere, but his excellent hiding skill, which Kenato didn’t sense, and that ferocious charge would be carved into the minds of those who witnessed it. The harmony of those two pressured Kenato. And thanks to that, Kenato completely forgot about Jung Si-woo for a brief moment.
[You little shit trying to interfere with me…]
“Remember the name, Yong Se-ha.”
A giant hammer showed up in the sky. By the time Kenato realized it, the hammerhead was already glimmering with light after absorbing every bit of mana on the battlefield.
“The name of the man that turned the table for you to die.”
An opening that Yong Se-ha made by fulfilling Jung Si-woo’s order.
[That thing won’t…]
“Charge Strike!”
The ultimate move made during that short opening struck down Kenato.
