Chapter 642

[ Dragon Mode activates. ]

The skill activated.

It was a skill he had not used in quite a long time.

The moment the skill activated, changes immediately appeared in his body.

The two short horns he had seen before, scales here and there across his body, a small pair of wings, and a blunt tail.

[ Transformation into Dragon Form has succeeded. ]

[ Due to Quarter Blood, only part of the body has transformed. ]

[ Physical abilities greatly increase. ]

[ Recovery ability greatly increases. ]

Nothing had changed.

Because of Quarter Blood, and because it was only at the level of a hatchling, it was a body level where everything was lacking.

Even so, thanks to the unique advantages of Dragon Mode, the damage to his body began recovering quickly.

[ Blood Genesis activates. ]

When he opened his hand, the Blood Sword was grasped in it.

He had heard that when he entered Dragon Mode, some skills became restricted.

But it seemed Blood Genesis was fine.

Su-ho activated the rest of his skills as well.

[ Heracles’s Lion Head Helmet is summoned. ]

[ Heracles’s Club is summoned. ]

[ Mana Detection activates. ]

[ Eye of the Nightsmith activates. ]

[ Sword Energy activates. ]

[ Protection activates. ]

[ Consecration activates. ]

[ Extreme Strength activates. ]

[ Enough rage has accumulated. ]

[ Blessing activates an additional effect. ]

[ Rage Mode activates. ]

[ Foxfire activates. ]

Skills activated in a long stream.

Fortunately, all of his main skills activated without being restricted.

Omega, who was watching that sight, wore a sneer.

- Yes. You do carry our blood as well. But what exactly can you do with the power of something no better than a hatchling that has not even become an adult dragon?

“I don’t know either. But am I supposed to just give up?”

- Is that so? Then try blocking this as well.

A meaningful smile.

At the same time, Omega’s eyes widened for an instant.

A reptile’s distinctive, grotesque gaze.

And.

[ Omega, the last Dragon Lord and the final Arch Dragon, uses Dragon Speech. ]

The moment Dragon Speech activated once more.

Kwaaaaaang!!

Craaaaash!!

A rough explosion erupted, and Su-ho’s body was sent flying far backward once again.

- Master!

Jack ran over and looked after Su-ho.

Jack had not exploded this time.

Because the quick-witted Jack had hidden inside the shadows just before Dragon Speech erupted.

Blood was flowing from Su-ho’s nose.

Two consecutive hits of Absolute Death.

It was damage that would have instantly killed an ordinary creature long ago.

But.

“Kgh.”

Laughter burst from his mouth.

It was Su-ho’s.

“Kukukuk, kukukuk......!”

Had he gone insane?

Su-ho began laughing like a madman.

The raised corner of his mouth was a bonus.

Then he soon raised his thumb.

“Hey, Jack. You were right.”

With those words, this time he raised himself on his own.

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death, paralysis state is progressing. ]

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death, poisoned state is progressing. ]

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death, burn state is progressing. ]

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death, frostbite state is progressing. ]

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death, petrification state is progressing. ]

[ Under the influence of Absolute Death...... ]

Debuff notifications appeared before his eyes.

However, Su-ho ignored them and said while using Recovery and Purification,

“Fuck, the answer was Dragon Mode.”

The more he recovered, the more confidence surged up.

It was still damage so painful he felt like dying, but Su-ho smiled.

Because he had found a way to somehow withstand the ultra-high-level magic the bastard possessed.

Su-ho stood up, using the Blood Sword like a staff.

At the same time, Jack, who saw that sight, felt a thrill run through him.

- Yes! This is how my master should be!

“Yeah, I absolutely won’t die! Hey, but isn’t that bastard using Absolute Death again way too quickly? You said it was a technique with a burden...... Huh, wait a second?”

At that moment, a singularity manifested in Su-ho’s eyes.

He began to see inside Omega’s gigantic body.

More precisely, he saw countless lines, perhaps the skeletal system or perhaps the nervous system, extending throughout the body, with the head and heart at their center.

‘What is this?’

What was this?

It was his first time seeing it.

Those things spread through his whole body like a nervous system, and something was circulating inside them as if they were tubes.

Blood?

No. Something faster, denser, and more majestic than that was circulating. At any rate, it felt different from blood.

Then he instinctively realized it.

‘Mana!’

It was mana.

Su-ho said,

“Hey, Jack. Get ready.”

- All of a sudden? Wait. I am looking for another countermeasure right now......

“Shut up and get ready. We need to hit him with Shadow Pierce one more time. If not now, I don’t know when another chance will come.”

- What are you suddenly...... Wait, something changed in you, didn’t it?

“Yeah. When I used Dragon Mode, I could see the circulation of mana moving through that bastard’s body. And from what I can see, that bastard is overloaded right now because he used Absolute Death in succession.”

The reason he thought Omega was overloaded.

The circulation of mana that should have been rich and lively had become stiff and sluggish, like blood flowing through vessels clogged thick with oil residue.

At that moment, Omega’s eyes curved once more.

- You are lucky. With thin blood that is not even one quarter, you somehow preserved your life once again.

“Bullshit.”

Su-ho raised his head and looked straight at him.

Then he activated it once more.

[ Gigantification activates. ]

His body grew larger.

This time too, he matched Omega’s size.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword toward the bastard.

[ Extreme Strength activates. ]

[ Diamond Cut activates. ]

[ Extreme Strength is applied. ]

[ The power of Diamond Cut rises to the extreme. ]

What he used was Diamond Cut.

He did not use Combined Sword Technique.

Instead, he added Extreme Strength and maximized the efficiency of the simple act of cutting.

Kwaaaaaang!!

The swung sword was blocked in midair and collided with something.

It was Dragon Speech.

But Su-ho did not reduce the force of his swing.

By brute force, he shoved his strength into the Dragon Speech barrier that looked as if it might break at any moment, yet not.

- How insignificant. You should know that with that paltry human swordsmanship of yours, you cannot cut through my Dragon Speech, should you not?

Bzzzzzzzt!

The sword was still being swung.

Su-ho did not give up.

The veins standing out on his forehead were proof.

Su-ho spoke through gritted teeth.

“Fuck, you sure run your mouth a whole damn lot......! Why aren’t you using Absolute Death then? Want me to guess? You’re overloaded right now, aren’t you? Looking at how your heart’s pounding, I can tell exactly what’s going on.”

- Empty bravado! What would the likes of you know!

“Why wouldn’t I know? I can see it. The disgusting mana circulating through your body......!”

- What?

“Now!!”

At that moment, the world was covered in darkness.

A startled Omega looked up at the sky.

There, a massive wave of blood that had secretly ascended had taken control of the sky once more.

Whoooong!!

Below it, a blade fell.

A gigantic spear-blade.

It was like a guillotine.

It was Guiyeong Spear.

Omega, who had experienced its effect once and understood it better than anyone, reflexively began multi-casting.

[ Omega, the last Dragon Lord and the final Arch Dragon, uses Dragon Speech. ]

[ Omega, the last Dragon Lord and the final Arch Dragon, uses Dragon Speech. ]

[ Omega, the last Dragon Lord and the final Arch Dragon, uses Dragon Speech. ]

[ Omega, the last Dragon Lord and the final Arch Dragon, uses Dragon Speech. ]

......

Su-ho saw it.

Omega’s entire body activating the moment Dragon Speech activated.

More precisely, the activation of mana throughout his whole body, with the brain and heart as its central axes.

He saw it clearly.

That was why he immediately withdrew his sword and smiled.

Omega did not see that smile.

Because he was concerned with the black guillotine falling above his head.

Su-ho swung his sword and recited his skills.

[ Extermination of Evil activates. ]

[ Blood Spirit Arts activates. ]

[ Blood Magic activates. ]

Bzzzzzzzzzt!!

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!!

Two dragons, one white and one red.

The moment they were sent out, he swung his sword upward.

Then they soared high into the sky and wrapped around Guiyeong Spear.

Su-ho drew his sword downward again and spun it once.

And once more, he activated swordsmanship.

[ Extreme Strength activates. ]

[ Soul Slash activates. ]

[ Sky Slash activates. ]

[ Combined Sword Technique activates. ]

[ True Severing Slash activates. ]

[ Extreme Strength is applied. ]

[ The power of True Severing Slash rises to the extreme. ]

It activated as quickly as a quick draw, and the moment it activated, the colors of the world reversed.

At the same time, Su-ho’s eyes widened beyond measure.

How could this be?

When he used Soul Slash in Dragon Mode, the things that had looked faint before now appeared far too clearly.

Especially the mana supply lines connecting Omega to the dragon magic created by Dragon Speech.

More precisely, the rune rings.

All of them were defensive magic, and they were layered one upon another to block Guiyeong Spear.

Then, the instant Guiyeong Spear and the defensive magic were about to collide, Su-ho did not miss it and swung his sword toward the defensive magic.

Kwaaaaaaa!!

The sword strike that shot out.

It flew like a tidal wave and crashed over countless Dragon Speeches.

And.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!!

Like an enraged tsunami, it destroyed everything it passed over as it surged through.

- ......!!

Omega’s eyes widened.

Dragon Speech he had managed to draw out with such effort!

Defensive magic that vanished at the perfect timing.

And Guiyeong Spear descended, shattering the debris.

He belatedly tried to twist his body and avoid it, but this entire sequence of actions had happened in far too short a time for that.

- No......!

Kwa-d-d-d-d-duk!!

Guiyeong Spear pierced into Omega’s brow.

It drove in deep, deeper still, piercing through his brow, piercing through the back of his head, and then skewering the body behind it.

At the same time, the two dragons that had been coiling around each other and watching for an opportunity did not miss the timing either and detonated against Omega.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!!

He poured everything into it.

His breathing was rough.

His vision spun.

He felt as if he might faint at any moment.

But he did not give up.

Because he had poured everything into it, and now it was time to recover it.

Su-ho threw away his sword and stretched out both hands.

[ Offering activates. ]

Swaaaaaah!

Dragon blood began to be drawn out from Omega once again.
