A god is at its weakest at the moment of descent.

I didn’t understand the detailed principles, but from what I heard, it’s because the connection process between the agent and the god in question is not complete in the beginning.

From that advice given by the transcendents, I could guess one fact.

‘Then it’s not a real god.’

If it’s a being that can only come through the body of a agent, it’s likely not the main body of that god.

It’s probably an avatar or a manifestation of will.

In the first place, for a being at the level of a god to reach the current world, it’s unlikely that the system governing this would not impose any restrictions.

The Holder system hasn’t been balanced for nothing all this time.

And if the being I have to face is not a ‘real god’… One more fact becomes certain.

‘I can win.’

No matter how strong the being is, it’s still an opponent that can be defeated.

If it’s not just unleashing unmanageable attacks while freely wielding the power of a god, I can win if I pour out all the power I possess.

Come to think of it, ‘descent’ is just one of the abilities contained in divine-type runes.

‘Tyrbon, let’s go.’

-Understood, master.

So I engage in direct combat without hesitation.

After inflicting a powerful blow on Lumiel with [Lightning of Judgment], I moved Tyrbon to rush towards the ground.

I gave an effective hit at the weakest moment, but that’s not the end.

No matter how weakened by the descent and caught by a preemptive attack, a god is still a god.

To face the evil god Lumiel, I had to pour out all my abilities to attack.

‘Accel Piercing.’

I unleash my first main attack with [Wyvern Spear] in my hand.

A skill that inflicts a powerful blow as if tearing through space using the propulsive force of rush-type runes.

Although it doesn’t contain divine power, it’s an attack that will have sufficient effect if it hits.

And.

As expected, the evil god Lumiel was ready to counterattack me.

“I’ll… Devour…!!”

A bizarre and chilling voice is heard.

It contained a mixture of male and female voices, and a voice that could be either School Head Flinklo or the evil god Lumiel.

It seems that while the body was given to the evil god, traces of Flinklo’s influence remained in the mind.

Moreover, seeing it trying to attack me with a voice filled with evil, it seems the [Lightning of Judgment] from earlier definitely had an effect.

Saaaa-!!

Lumiel draws in a massive amount of darkness and aims it at me.

Its form and color were very familiar.

The ‘black magic’ I always faced when dealing with those who made the [Dark Covenant].

That annoying ability that even Hwang Seong-yeon used was now being unleashed by Lumiel.

‘The color is… Deeper.’

But its purity is very intense.

Not ordinary black magic, but intense dark magic that seems to swallow the whole world.

It’s only natural.

The evil god Lumiel must be the master of that black magic.

All the ‘black magic’ I’ve seen so far must be abilities derived from that evil god.

‘Tyrbon, stop.’

-Are we not doing Accel Piercing, master?

‘Yes. It’s no longer necessary in the current situation. And can you use emergency escape? I don’t have the capacity to release you now.’

-Understood, master.

I immediately stop Tyrbon’s rush and cancel the [Accel Piercing] I was casting.

In fact, the intention to use [Accel Piercing] was one thing,

To land a powerful consecutive attack in the gap when the opponent is weak right after descent.

But Lumiel recovered his body faster than I thought.

At the point where he’s already wielding ‘black magic’ imbued with divine power, skills like [Accel Piercing] couldn’t be of much help.

‘Divine Bless.’

Among the buff skills, [Berserk] and [Dragonification] have long been used.

I use [Divine Bless], a divine power buff, to push my abilities to the extreme.

Then I use Art of Weapon Exchange-.

In my hand was the divine sword, [Kelbilid’s True Repentance].

“Holy Mercy.”

I create a sacred protection area by planting the divine sword in the ground.

The innate skill of the divine sword, [Holy Mercy], is basically a skill that gives buffs to team members, but due to its excellent effect, it also gives a big buff in one-on-one combat.

In other words, I used this skill now to support myself.

“To death!”

Lumiel, watching my actions, shouted roughly.

To death.

Quite a familiar slogan.

The Ludenark School members I’ve faced so far all used that slogan, and afterwards, their use of ‘black magic’ became even smoother.

And after a long time.

Through discourse with the transcendents, I could accurately understand its meaning.

‘It was a slogan to handle divine power more deeply.’

The reason why all members of the Ludenark School used only that same slogan is simple.

It’s because they were all serving the same evil god, or similar types of demon gods.

Lumiel is probably an evil god dealing with death.

That’s why the Ludenark school has frequently used abilities related to death.

They were deeply versed in creating corpses and utilizing undead, and were also skilled in handling similar types of curses.

Therefore, the phrase that deals more deeply with black magic.

That ‘To death’ phrase was, of course, originated by Lumiel.

Saaaah-!!

Kwagwagwa-!!

An enormous amount of black magic tries to engulf me.

Having already sent back Tyrbon, I was standing alone on the ground, and at this rate, it seemed I would be dragged into eternal death, covered in black magic.

“Mercifully.”

…That is, until I used divine power in the same way as Lumiel.

“Wh-What?!”

Lumiel is greatly flustered upon hearing my phrase.

And separately from that, a massive amount of divine power spreads from my body.

How should I describe this-

Should I call it ‘green magic’?

Anyway, the divine power that burst forth bearing the nature of Sednilen, the god of mercy, devoured the black magic and nullified the attack.

‘It’s working well.’

I nodded with satisfaction at the sight.

This is a different concept from the ultimate skill’s verbal command.

It’s an auxiliary phrase to utilize the power of runes more actively.

I was able to naturally use it as the [Apprentice Agent of Sednilen] rune and [Madness of Faith] rune reached a certain level.

Even so, it’s just using the divine power I’ve been handling more deeply and intensely, but originally, the black magic used by the followers under the evil god Lumiel was of that kind.

“How can you use Sednilen’s power…”

“Well, because I’m Sednilen’s agent.”

I give a kind answer to Lumiel, who is stammering in confusion.

Just like Lumiel, who has descended using the body of agent Flinklo, I too am merely borrowing Sednilen’s power for a moment.

However, its power is incredibly beyond imagination.

“Rush forth.”

One round of verbal sparring to create an opening is enough.

Having already built up my magic power, I immediately used [Shadow of Distortion] right after answering Lumiel.

Paaat-!

Sssssut-!!

There’s one battle principle I’ve realized from facing strong opponents since before.

That is, don’t save your ultimate skill.

If you save your ultimate skill until the end and use it as the final blow, its effect will certainly be maximized.

If the conditions are right, it’s the surest way to take down the enemy.

‘…If the conditions are right, that is.’

The problem is that such ideal situations rarely occur in battle.

In fights between strong opponents, both sides fight with their lives on the line, and as such, you never know when each other’s killing moves will come out.

Therefore, it’s better to use the ultimate skill as quickly as possible when conditions allow, to create variables.

The enemies will be flustered by the sudden ultimate skill, and I continue my attacks in the small gap created during that time.

That’s why I used [Shadow of Distortion], one of my best skills, without hesitation.

“To death! To deeper death!”

“Mercifully.”

Lumiel’s black magic is lightly countered by Sednilen’s divine power.

And then.

The divine sword mercilessly slashes Lumiel’s shoulder.

“Kuhk…!!”

Lumiel lets out a pain-filled scream.

I intended to follow up with my finishing move right here.

The ultimate skill [Merciful True Demon Sword].

It’s the most powerful skill among my divine-type skills.

If I could chain this skill as well, the victory of this battle would be ours.

That’s why I tried to recite the verbal command as quickly as possible.

“Great mercy-“

“Swallow death and repent!!”

But Lumiel’s reaction was faster.

Even in a state where his body was in tatters from my consecutive attacks, he gritted his teeth and unleashed his ultimate skill.

An ultimate skill used by a descended evil god.

It’s probably a skill registered in the mythical rune, and its power must be tremendous.

‘…This is dangerous.’

I took a defensive stance, sensing that my plan had gone awry.

From now on, the tide of battle reverses.

I too could find myself in a crisis situation at any moment.

Pat- Paaaat-.

‘…Huh?’

But simultaneously with the manifestation of the enemy’s ultimate skill, a brilliant divine power shines from my armor.

[Detecting a condensed evil essence! The Trillion Brilliant Oath of Trillion engraved in the armor awakens to judge evil. The effect of ‘Holy Protection’ is activated.]

[The wearer’s divine power is 105(+84). ‘Holy Protection’ proportional to this value…]

[Due to the special effect of the ‘Silver MoonShadow’ rune, the divine resonance of the equipment is maximized. The power of the protection increases by 40%!]

[‘Holy Protection’ completely nullifies the evil god Lumiel’s ‘Memento Mori’! Lumiel’s dark divine power disappears without a trace.]

“……”

“Damn it!! Just what the hell are you?!!”

Even the evil god cries out in frustration at the situation.

I couldn’t bring myself to answer ‘item power’.

Instead.

I gave my answer by swinging the divine sword.

“Sleep in great mercy.”

As I said from the beginning of the battle…

I have extreme compatibility against dark attributes and evil.

The Ludenark school summoning ‘Evil God Lumiel’ might have been the biggest mistake of this final battle.
