Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 226: Mission Type: Complex (6) (Part 2)
“Hero? Monster? Mission? What a joke all this is!”
“……”
“I just want to fight without regrets until the end!”
Rip!
The Beast King tore apart the last remaining soldier and looked at us.
“The best remedy for a madman is a beating.”
Velkist let his blood-stained sword hang.
“It seems we need to defeat that guy to fill the remaining Holy Power.”
Katiio, surveying the scene, spoke.
As he said, the Holy Power of the statue of the goddess hadn’t increased past 90%.
‘Now we’re at full strength.’
Skills and engravings had returned.
The same went for him.
I lightly shook my left arm.
The Beast King’s punches, which had penetrated the Black Dragon Scales’ defense, were still vivid in my memory.
“Yeah, you.”
The Beast King pointed at me.
His exposed fangs glinted.
“I don’t need anything else. I just want to fight you!”
“He’s talking nonsense. There’s no need to indulge in a trivial tantrum, senior.”
He said he wanted to fight me with all his might.
So this is why he cleared the obstacles himself?
I chuckled.
“You guys go first. A dimensional gate has appeared.”
I looked at the corner of the arena.
A white vortex of dimensions was glowing.
That vortex was the one we used to enter here,
It seemed it was set to allow us to return to our original place once the Holy Power surpassed 90%.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“Is that even a question?”
It wasn’t out of a sense of rivalry.
It was simply a necessity to redistribute our strength.
“The main force seems to be struggling. Go help them.”
The fleet of Townia seemed to have entered the core area of the field.
Since a while ago, messages about the deaths of heroes kept popping up.
During the previous exploration mission on the entire floor, we had seen many large monsters lurking deep in the forest.
Originally, the first party should have been responsible for them, but since we were here, the main force suffered greatly from the gap.
“I’ll handle this quickly and return.”
“What nonsense! We should stick together…”
“Let’s go.”
Jenna grabbed Katiio, who was about to argue with me.
Katiio sighed with a dissatisfied expression.
“Hurry up. We’ll be waiting.”
“Of course.”
Jenna and Katio stepped into the vortex.
Velkist, who was silently watching me, followed.
“Will you be okay without us, Han? Dad is really strong.”
“Don’t worry.”
“Got it.”
Finally, Kishasha disappeared too.
“Hahaha! Finally, it’s just the two of us. I’ve been waiting for this moment!”
Kiadni laughed heartily, and then his face hardened.
“Han Islat, I’ve been watching your fights for a long time. Your aura, embodying both madness and coldness, was the ideal warrior I dreamed of. Now, warrior! Show me! Prove that it was worth living one more time!”
Roar!
The Beast King roared at the sky.
Crack.
The sound of muscles and flesh tearing.
Kiadni’s body swelled.
Over the fragile human skin, the tough skin of a lion covered him.
[Danger!]
[Beast King]
[Kiadni Vikshavi Lv.103]
<This is my final battle.>
He had completely transformed into a beast.
A lion standing 4 meters tall.
That was his true form.
<If you truly wish to transcend fate! Defeat me, who couldn’t save my kin!>
The Beast King bared his fangs at me.
“I don’t care about that.”
Transcend the fate of destruction?
I never intended to.
‘Come on.’
I planted Bifrost into the sandy floor.
[Unique Skill, ‘Black Dragon Scales’ activated!]
Crackle!
Dark red lightning that began from my left arm covered my entire body.
<Why did you call me earlier and then stop? Were you just playing around?>
Halkion’s voice echoed in my ears.
I chuckled.
<It doesn’t matter. If you’ve called me, then win!>
As the lightning brushed past my body, glossy black scales sprouted.
My eyes reflected on the blade changed to those of a dragon.
[Han (★★★★) has entered the Ascend state!]
I spread my left hand.
The scabbard of Bifrost, hanging on my belt, trembled and was pulled into my left hand.
I then pulled Bifrost from the sand with my right hand.
The Beast King extended his leg.
It was a leaping stance.
Crackle.
Lightning began to spark from the scabbard in my left hand.
Vrrmm.
The blade in my right hand vibrated rapidly.
I sheathed the sword in my right hand into the scabbard.
And gripped the hilt loosely.
“How strong is this technique?”
<Stronger than you can imagine.>
“Really?”
I had practiced this combo but had never used it for real.
If done carelessly, the training ground could have been blown away entirely.
I opened my eyes wide.
The moment he lunges at me,
One moment of delay, and no matter if I had the Black Dragon Blood or not, my body would be squashed.
“Graaaah!”
A roar so powerful it made the air tremble.
And then, his figure vanished.
‘A thousandfold.’
The grip of my right hand tore.
‘I can endure it.’
With any other sword, it would have crumpled under the pressure, but Bifrost, forged with transcendent power, could withstand it.
‘A hundred thousandfold.’
Clang, clang, clang.
Bifrost began to bend.
The concentration of gravity at one point.
The space was being distorted.
Boom!
I took a step forward.
In an instant, the sandstorm dispersed.
Beyond it, the figure of the Beast King appeared.
His dominant front paw was swinging towards my head.
I flicked the scabbard with my thumb.
[Skill, ‘Soulblade Fusion’ activated!]
Blue flames flowed along Bifrost’s blade.
Soon, the flames merged with the lightning and turned jet-black.
[Hypergravity Draw!]
I drew my sword.
[Linked Skill, ‘Dragon Slayer Fusion’ activated!]
