chapter 66
66 – The Realm of Formlessness
*
The aggro that was attracted to me moved to the giant.
Is it because he was so angry that his head was stepped on by a 30m tall giant, or maybe there was some damage, and the aggro completely fell out. Well, I think I would be angry if I was hit by something like that.
– Never compete head-to-head, think of hitting and losing.
-Okay. Sijo poem.
Due to the lack of proficiency of my taming skill, the power of a giant that can be drawn is only for S-class beginners. In addition, the difference in size between Nidhogg and the giant is three times greater, so it is physically superior.
It is said that if you get hit properly, you can go hook. Therefore, it is best to keep the mindset of avoiding it as much as possible and mix attacks only enough to prevent aggro.
“Estel. How much has your strength returned? Is it possible to get a single blow buff?”
A buff that greatly increases the power of the next attack. It was a very effective buff against opponents who were very large and had high defense, like the dragon in front of them.
Because you can kill it with just one hit.
“Based on the current state, I have enough holy power to use one blow and maintain the heavenly blessing for about 1 minute.”
Even if it was just a blow, it was a good thing, but if I could receive a heavenly blessing that increases all of my desired stats or combat-related stats, it would be a much better situation than I thought.
“Liera. What are the Penetration, Wind, and Focus enchantments limited to my right fist?”
“Available. About 5 seconds.”
There are 3 overlapping enchantments.
“Seung-ah. Can you buy me some time with the giant through Awakening? If you think he’s really in danger, you only need to take the aggro off once. It’s really dangerous… You’re the only one who can do this.”
Seung-a is in the best condition among all but me, and the skills themselves are very good for hit and run. In particular, the skill of Awakening can temporarily reach a higher level for one minute.
Seungah is currently at the top level of Class A, so if she uses Awakening, she can generate S-class power. If she helps the giant with various skills, it will be very easy for her to pass the time, but she cannot force it.
For me to ask you to buy time against a level 299 monster is an unreasonable request.
I can’t help it even if he refuses, and I just have to pull aggro myself with the thought that I will give up killing him and wait for support at the cost of human life.
“If I do it, will it be of great help to Yuwon? It’s only me who can do it.”
Seungah’s eyes full of determination. It seemed she had already made up her mind to do it, but she seemed to be hoping for a definitive answer. So I nodded her head and told her.
“Yes. It’s only you.”
Hearing her words, she said with a smile.
“Okay. I’ll do it.”
After that, Seung-ah, who had risen to a higher level by emitting ink light from her body, went out to support the giant. The giant, who was about to be summoned by Nidhogg’s blow, took time to recover from the attack with the proper help of Seung-ah.
I also asked Ha-yeon to not waste the time Seung-ah earns.
“Ha Yeon-ah. Can you stop that guy with the Heavenly Demon’s reign?”
The symbol of the Heavenly Demon, who can temporarily control all movements of the opponent, the Heavenly Demon’s reign. Is it possible for her to stop that monster, who has taken the elixir but hasn’t recovered very much?
“What do you think of the Heavenly Demon? It’s quite possible. About 0.5 Seconds…”
Hayeon says it as if she’s ashamed, but it’s ridiculous that her body can stop that guy for half a second. He is not a master who has reached the current state with the Heavenly Demon Art for nothing.
“Okay. Then, shout ‘now’ and I’ll ask you. Liera can use the enchantment at that time, and Estelle can use a blow.”
“Okay.”
“Yes.”
After receiving the answer from the two, I immediately opened my mouth to Estelle.
“Heaven’s Blessing. With intellect.”
Estelle uses the buff right away without answering.
[Intellect increases significantly for 1 minute.]
My head became several times clearer than before.
‘The Myth of Thunder.’
I even used the brain myth in that state. Perhaps thanks to the increased strength and stamina, it became much more bearable even after being forced to use it at a lower level. I think I can last at least 3 minutes.
Of course I didn’t use this for an attack, though.
Stimulates my brain to the limit with the intellect greatly increased by Estelle’s buff, the mental power that transcends that of a human who has reached 104, and the ink lightning given to the body due to the brain myth.
It was in order to temporarily reach the level that remained in my memory, the 9th star of the Muk-Rye-Break Singong. A far-off place that I reached only after becoming a Hyeongyeong.
I tried to force myself out of this place, which I called the state of intangibility because it moves at a speed so fast that even one’s own form cannot be seen.
It was a possible choice because I had briefly experienced that state with my entire body through Ymir’s trial not too long ago. I know what it will cost me to do this, but I went ahead.
My overloaded brain hurts like it’s about to explode, and blood spurts out of my nose. It seems that the spirit will be cut off any moment, but the indomitable force drives the spirit and prevents it from breaking.
The transcendent species, among them, the body of the first giant, which is one step higher, is leading this unreasonable challenge to success.
Just before Seung-a’s awakening was over, I was able to cross the intangible stage for an extremely fleeting moment in exchange for my life.
“Now!”
Feeling my power, Nidhogg sends a signal to Ha-yeon and receives an enchantment from Liera so that he can’t focus all his strength on defense in case of this attack.
The Heavenly Demon’s Art – The Heavenly Demon’s Ruler Limbo
A single cloud of footsteps temporarily blocks the movement of a monster taller than that building.
[The power of the next blow is greatly increased.]
[Enchant penetration.]
[Enchant the iron wall.]
[Enchant the wind.]
Messages come to my mind and my right hand is temporarily filled with great power. And right before the effect of Heavenly Demon’s reign ended, I became lightning.
Mukroe, Thunderbolt Sacred Art – Lightning Storm (疾風迅雷)
The limits set for humans, breaking all those limits, throws the body. The whole body is breaking down. My brain is burning. It didn’t matter. If my fist can reach it, that’s fine.
The distance between me and Nidhogg has disappeared. My fist touches his head. That was it.
The head of that ferocious, huge, and invincible monster, even if everyone rushed here, had its head pierced and its brain exploded in one blow. At the same time, I also finished.
My brain is out of order. The whole body bones were shattered. All muscles were torn. My body, which had been forced to move at a speed that transcended human knowledge, could not bear it and died.
It looks like someone came this way and grabbed my body, but I can’t see it. I can’t hear it. I lost my sight, and I also lost my hearing. Smell and touch also disappear.
Estelle has also used all her strength, so there is no way she can restore my body. My death was already certain. The thing that came to me at the end of my 4th life was looking for me this time too.
My whole body stopped working, my heart stopped working, and my consciousness was cut off.

“Yuwon! Did it happen?”
“Won Yu!”
“Brother!”
“Honey!”
Each person has a different title, but they all call me. I woke up with the loud noise. When I woke up again, my physical condition was all normal, and I was more energetic than before the raid.
‘As planned.’
I did it believing in the necklace hanging around my neck, eternal protection, and it went well as planned.
Once a month, when you receive fatal damage, you will not take any damage for 5 seconds and recover all the damage you have received.
I remembered it and thought this was my chance to try it out. Apparently, my current state is at its peak, so I will 100% die if I draw out the power of my time as a police officer.
However, what if that death could be prevented with this item? I came up with the idea after meeting the principal, but I was satisfied because I personally confirmed that it was possible like this.
Of course, my passing out was an unexpected accident. Since it is the recovery of all damage, I thought that the mental damage would be recovered soon, but before that was recovered, my consciousness was cut off first.
‘I can’t use it carelessly.’
What if you take out one person with this skill, but there are no colleagues around and additional support from the opponent comes? The risk of being killed before I become conscious exists.
I should think of it as a special move with a cooldown of 1 month that can be used if at least there are reliable comrades around and it is determined that the situation can be ended when one is killed.
It was a skill that I couldn’t use properly because my body ached all week after using it once during my prefectural police days. Maybe it’s because it overlaps with the recovery of eternal protection and the recovery of level up, so there are no aftereffects. It was very nice.
After realizing that my body was all normal, I opened my eyes and found that unlike me, who was feeling refreshed, everyone in the party was hugging me with tears in their eyes.
‘Huh..?’
Why are they all like this?
