Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 224: Mission Type, Complex (4) (Part 2)
[‘The Left Eye that Ravages the Heavens’]
At that moment, a violet eye appeared above the arena.
“…?!”
The flames at the tip of the sword vanished.
“Hahahaha!”
Right in front of me, Kiadni’s fist was about to smash into my face.
“Han! Be careful!”
Kishasha, who intervened between Kiadni and me, countered his fist.
Boom!
Unable to withstand the impact, Kishasha rolled across the dirt ground.
I quickly stepped back.
“….”
“What’s wrong? Are you surprised that you can’t use your strength?”
Kiadni dusted off his fist and sneered.
“Don’t worry. I can’t use my abilities either. It’s a fair fight!”
Status window.
My state was immediately displayed as a hologram.
All skills, except for intermediate swordsmanship, were grayed out.
The engraving window, including the Black Dragon’s blood, was the same.
‘Unavailable.’
I chuckled.
Above the arena, a burning eye surveyed the entire field.
The Left Eye that Ravages the Heavens.
‘This is an interesting pattern.’
It seemed I had to fight him barehanded.
“Do you think I would run away?”
I chuckled and twirled my sword.
Removing all the decorations and fighting head-on.
“That’s the spirit of a true warrior!”
Kiadni, laughing boisterously, thrust his fist at me.
And.
Bang!
His body explosively charged at me.
‘The only usable skill is weapon technique.’
No Black Dragon’s blood, no Ascend, no Soulblade Fusion, and no other skills.
I swung my sword at Kiadni.
His fist collided with the flat side of my sword.
“….!”
I was pushed back several meters.
It felt like my grip was being torn apart.
What a brute force!
[Monster Wave!]
[Round 2.]
[Corrupted Human Soldier Lv.53] X 23
[Corrupted Human Knight Lv.61] X 5
“I can’t use any skill. What’s going on?”
Ping!
Jenna’s arrow pierced the neck of a descending soldier.
Her accuracy was still precise, but the power was lacking.
‘Formation….’
The three members of the defense team were scattered around the field.
Normally, they would cover a wide range using engravings and skills, but….
“Raaaaaah!”
A soldier screamed and charged at the goddess statue.
As soon as he touched the light emanating from the statue, his body melted away and vanished.
However.
[Goddess statue’s divine power has dropped to 48%!]
[Prayer of Purification has been lifted!]
[Debuffs are applied throughout the entire Chaos Depths!]
“Defense team, gather!”
I shouted through gritted teeth.
“Form a formation! Create a triangular formation near the goddess statue. Don’t let a single one through!”
“Why can’t we use our skills…!”
“Is this that woman’s ability?”
Velkist frowned.
I shook my aching right hand.
“It seems so.”
All skills and engravings were unusable.
This meant the battle would unfold like it did before the 20th floor.
<Han…!>
Edis’s urgent voice rang out.
It seemed she was showered with debuffs while progressing through the 3rd district.
I raised my hand to my ear.
“I’m sorry. It’s our fault. We’ll fix it soon, so hang in there.”
<I’ll try to hold on!>
Edis cut off communication.
[Airship ‘Easy’ has been severely damaged!]
[‘Darren (★★★★)’ has returned to the goddess’s embrace! His determination will be remembered forever.]
[‘Shekila (★★★)’ has returned to the goddess’s embrace! Her determination will be remembered forever.]
[‘Jiran (★★★★)’ has returned to the goddess’s embrace…]
A series of death messages for nearly a dozen heroes appeared.
‘Damn.’
The 4th airship, Easy, was severely damaged.
It wasn’t completely incapacitated, but it had taken significant damage.
[Current evolution rate: 034 / 100]
I gritted my teeth.
“Don’t let them in. If we fall, the main force is finished.”
“Got it!”
“Come this way!”
Jenna and Velkist hurriedly ran to the goddess statue near Katio.
The three formed a triangular formation, brandishing their weapons.
[Goddess statue’s divine power has risen to 51%!]
[Prayer of Purification has been granted!]
[Debuffs in the entire Chaos Depths have been lifted.]
Only one monster had broken through the defensive line.
Soon, the debuffs were restored.
‘The divine power… seems to increase over time.’
The longer the defense team held on, the more advantageous it was.
They really made it annoying.
“Is it okay to let your guard down?”
“Of course not!”
I stomped the ground hard enough to pile up the sand and swung my sword.
With a piercing sound, the blade slashed through the air.
Boom!
My sword and the Beast King’s fist collided.
The impact made my body tremble momentarily.
“It’s an interesting trick!”
While struggling with me, Kiadni swung his back foot.
Kishasha, who was targeting the rear, flew dozens of meters away like a cannonball.
“Not yet…!”
Kishasha regained her posture mid-air and charged again.
Swish. Sharp claws extended from Kishasha’s hands.
“Han!”
Kishasha slashed with her claws.
I drew back my sword and thrust it forward.
Our attacks intersected.
“Haha!”
The Beast King, laughing heartily, twisted his body while leaping.
Our attacks grazed the spot where Kiadni had been.
Movements as nimble as his massive frame was large.
“If all you’ve done up until now is rely on your engravings, you will never defeat me!”
“Don’t worry about that.”
I’ve never clung to engravings.
I’ve always overcome crises with my own strength.
Bifrost drew a graceful arc as it followed Kiadni.
Skills and engravings.
Nice to have, but….
“I don’t need them.”
I’ve been through countless training sessions for this moment.
