< Chapter 76 - Ultimate One #4 >

It was a reckless attack.
It was a forced attempt, and was practically an attempt to ride the momentum.
But its power was by no means ordinary.
There was a loud noise.
But the noise was so loud that I couldn’t perceive it properly.
Cracks spread across the pure white force field.
The speed of the explosion was so fast that it seemed like an instant, and the sight of the force field exploding with light was truly fantastic.
Black sun.
Light enveloped everything.
And when the light disappeared, and everything that had been obscured by the strong light regained its appearance, traces of enormous destruction were also revealed.
A large crater appeared, as if a meteor had struck.
The ground was torn apart, cracks spread across the ground, and the sky was cloudless as the shockwave swept over it head-on.
And Uther and Gamor Khan rolled on the floor.
Uther’s attacks using Sword Origin were too strong, and Gamor Khan’s defense using Grand Order was too solid.
Unable to withstand the immense force generated by the clash of spear and shield, the two were thrown in different directions.
Gamor Khan was pushed more than a dozen meters and crumpled to the ground, while Uther was left sprawled on the ground twenty meters away from the point of impact.
For a while, neither side showed any significant reaction.
But at some point both sides started to move.
“Fuck.”
Uther spoke like Cordelia.
He laughed bitterly and grimaced in pain.
My right arm hurt.
Thanks to its regenerative powers, it looks fine now, but it must have been a mess right after the clash.
But it moved.
I felt pain. The sensation in my fingertips was still alive.
“under.”
I forced a smile and clenched my fist.
There was a thud, thud sound, but soon I felt a strong force being applied to my right arm. I sat up like a zombie and took a breath. I raised my head and took in the world with my green eyes.
It was seen.
Gamor Khan was forcing himself up, his right arm hanging limply.
Just as this side was a mess, the other side also looked like a mess.
But it was different.
Even among the Borg, Gamor Khan was considered a monster, but at least in terms of physical durability, Juder had a far superior advantage.
“Eww!”
Gamor Khan raised his right arm with his left, shouting loudly. Judging by the way he was doing it, his shoulder must have fallen off.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was ragged, and his muscles were more swollen than usual.
“That son of a bitch.”
Gamor Khan said.
I couldn’t hear it very well, but I was able to read it roughly with lip reading.
Of course, since it was a boar’s head, there were many parts that were different from a human’s, such as the shape of the lips, but since the words that would come out in this situation were usually curses, it was possible to interpret it by supplementing it with imagination.
Uther let out a breath, and saw Gamor Khan wield his left arm again. The massive kite shield split into two, one on each arm, and the other on each arm.
‘Second form.’
The seven guilds of Sword Seekers that created the Ultimate series all had common roots, one way or another.
Perhaps because of this, the seven ultimate swords had several things in common.
‘Three seals.’
The Ultimate Series lived up to its name.
Because of this, not everyone could handle that power.
And the Sword Seeker craftsmen themselves did not want an incompetent person, an unqualified person, to use the Ultimate Series.
That’s why it was a sealed one.
Only those who are worthy of the Ultimate Series, or at least those who can handle its power, can truly draw out the power of the ultimate sword.
Sealed.
As the name suggests, all of its power and functions are sealed.
At this time, most of the ultimate swords took the form of ordinary swords.
Just as the key sword had the shape of a normal sword.
And the first form, with one seal released.
Basic type.
The ultimate swords of this time generally had low hurdles.
Of course, there were some ultimate swords that severely limited the user, such as Ultimate One and Seven, but in the case of the other five, anyone who was at the level of a promising player who attended the sword banquet could use them.
The first form of the Grand Order is a type of lift blade with a greatsword blade attached to a kite shield.
Form 2 goes a little further.
The kite shield was split vertically into two and worn on both arms, making it easier to defend.
‘Of course, it means moving further and further away from the sword.’
Gamor Khan was a powerful man often compared to the Tiger of the Ten Swords.
Actually, judging from the judgment of Yuder, who had experienced both the Jeilgeom, the top tier of the Ten Swordsmen, and the Hogukgong, the lower tier, it wasn’t entirely wrong.
With the second form of the Grand Order now unlocked, it seemed like Gamor Khan would be able to fight the Guardian one-on-one.
That’s why Yuder took a deep breath. He tried to calm his heart that was trembling with excitement, but he couldn’t erase the smile that was forming on his lips.
Go.
Uther kicked the ground. This time, Gamor Kahn also charged in response. As expected from a boar, it was a very aggressive charge.
Crash again.
But it was different from before.
This time it was a workshop.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gamor Khan attacked, swinging his Grand Order wildly. The power packed into each blow was so strong that a terrifying crackling sound erupted with each strike.
The basics are slashing and striking using the blade attached to the end of the shield.
But that doesn’t mean it can’t be called the Ultimate Series.
Gamor Khan created a force field and used it to make his attacks appear as planes rather than points.
It made the expression “the wall is closing in” a reality.
bang!
Grand Order and Sword Origin collide.
Empowered by the Black Sun, Uder, with his incredible strength, pushed away the attack and closed the distance with Gamor Khan. He then stabbed the bastard in the chest with his fist.
Kwakang!
The station master broke down.
The white, translucent force field that extended from the Grand Order attached to his arm and surrounded Gamor Khan’s entire body shattered, and Gamor Khan’s body was lifted slightly into the air.
And then Uther spun around. He struck down the slightly raised body of Gamor Khan with a roundhouse kick, and the attack was transformed from a simple strike to a devastating blow.
Kakakan!
The hastily constructed force field burst again. Gamor Khan’s chest was wounded, and the one who had fallen to the ground immediately got up and attacked Uther.
Quagagagaga!
And then the storm came.
At first glance, it looked like a brawl, but in reality it was different.
Although Gamor Khan’s physical prowess was overwhelming, he lacked technique.
Yuder’s limbs, no longer afraid of the blade, cut off all of the bastard’s attacks one beat ahead.
And Uther’s attack struck Gamor Khan’s entire body.
But Gamor Khan did not fall. Every time Uther attacked, the force field surrounding his body would break, but when he was about to attack again, the force field would be restored.
Gamor Khan’s attack is blocked.
Uther’s attack shatters the force field, but fails to deal a decisive blow to Gamor Khan.
In fact, up until this point, this was one of Gamor Khan’s winning patterns.
This kind of war of attrition was ultimately a fight to see who would tire first.
‘Why!’
But this time it was different.
Even though dozens of rounds had already been exchanged, Yuder’s movements did not slow down at all. His attack power also remained unchanged.
As if he had infinite stamina.
‘I can do this all day!’
Gamor Khan could not read Uther’s gaze. And neither could his attack.
Uther was not only good at striking. His left hand, which had blocked Gamor Khan’s right-hand attack, moved like a snake for a moment, and at some point Gamor Khan found himself looking at Uther’s back.
“uh?”
The moment I let out a dumb sound, my body floated into the air. I collided with the ground without any way to do anything.
bang!
The force field on my back broke apart. At the same time, I lost sight of Yuder for a moment.
Gamor Khan quickly rose to his feet.
And immediately after handing over Gamor Khan, Uder stepped back and took a deep breath. He watched the man rise and thought.
How to defeat Gamor Khan.
I clenched my fist. As soon as I stood up, I saw the guy turn around and pull his fist.
Uther also pulled his fist.
He concentrated the power of the black sun into his right hand once again.
At that moment, Gamor Khan leapt forward, trying to block Uther’s fall with a swift attack.
It was a good decision.
Uther didn’t have enough breath. So instead of unleashing his pent-up power, he unleashed his fist.
He raised his right fist to counter Gamor Khan’s fists pouring down from above like an avalanche.
bang!
Fist clashed with fist. Shockwaves swept through the surrounding area once again, and Uther and Gamor Khan, who had exchanged punches, were not spared either.
Uther’s right arm was broken. The bones were shattered into hundreds of pieces.
Gamor Khan’s force field shattered. Starting with his right arm, the force field shattered all over his body, and Gamor Khan’s right arm was bent at a bizarre angle.
And Uther seized that moment.
As he extended his right arm, he unleashed the Black Wind instead of the Thunder God or the Lightning God. He became a black wind and dug into Gamor Khan’s arms like a ghost.
It was playing, but it was difficult to use the right arm.
It was difficult to use the power of the Black Sun again with just one blow. Both sides were running out of time.
Gamor Khan knew it too.
That’s why I endured. I thought I could somehow repair the force field, withstand Yuder’s imperfect attack, and then counterattack.
Just as Uder expected.
‘Cordelia.’
He’d probably be angry.
He’ll cry and call me an idiot.
But there was nothing I could do.
Because it was something I definitely wanted to do once I got the Ultimate One.
Because it was something I could do after obtaining Sword Origin.
I clenched my left fist.
At the same time, he touched the device on his waist with his still-recovered right hand. He destroyed the scrolls loaded inside at once and activated the magic.
It wasn’t some great, advanced magic.
It was a magic that was incredibly simple.
But it was extraordinary.
Because it was never a common usage.
Something that the human body cannot endure.
An extreme measure that can be used with a sword.
‘Strength 10 stacks.’
The strength of a giant was imbued in his left arm.
At the same time, my left arm began to shake as if it would break at any moment.
Gamor Khan instinctively understood the phenomenon before his eyes. But Uther was too close to take action. There was not enough time.
Before he could even utter a word, Uther’s left fist, a giant fist enhanced by 10 stacks of Strength, struck Gamor Khan’s chest!
bang!
Quagaga!
The hastily constructed force field was shattered. About half of Gamor Khan’s upper body exploded in an unimaginable force.
And it didn’t stop there. Gamor Khan’s massive body was thrown backwards, unable to withstand the force.
A shockwave swept through the area, and Gamor Kahn’s right arm and Grand Order, which had been launched into the air as his upper body exploded, crashed to the ground with a thud.
“ha.”
Uther stretched out his bloody left arm.
I was sick.
It hurt like crazy.
My left arm felt like it was going to break off, and my back and every part connected to it felt like it was screaming.
So in the end, Yuder fell to the floor.
But even in the midst of all that, he finally smiled. He burst into a fit of laughter.
And Cordelia moved.
Gamor Khan, who should have died instantly since half of his upper body had been blown away, suddenly stood up as if he was taking advantage of a moment of letdown, and then he completely destroyed Gamor Khan’s body with his signature Magic Missile barrage.
He approached the fallen man once more and retrieved the main body of Gamor Khan that was hanging around his neck – as if tearing off a purple necklace with an evil spirit written on it.
“Kuaaa-.”
Gamor Khan’s husk-like body fell silent as it breathed its last, and Cordelia, wrapped in a ring of pure white light, approached Uther, who was still lying on the ground. She crouched down at the head of the bed and looked down at Uther.
“Are you satisfied?”
“Oh, it’s completely full… Aaaah!”
Before answering, Uther screamed, and Cordelia, who had been poking his slowly regenerating left arm, shook her head.
“Anyway, I said you’re an idiot.”
If the two of them had fought together, they would have won much more easily.
There was no need to fight and ruin your body like this.
But at the same time, I felt like I knew.
Because I got a life item.
Since you’ve powered up a lot with that, you probably want to try a head-on confrontation rather than trying to trick it.
“Ugh.”
They say all men are children.
Cordelia, who was giggling, added healing magic to Uther’s regenerative powers.
Thanks to that, Uder felt somewhat more comfortable and said as he looked at Cordelia.
“What do you think? Wasn’t it kind of cool?”
“Hey, you’re rolling around on the floor covered in blood right now? And your face is all grimaced?”
“It was still cool, wasn’t it?”
Cordelia snickered at Uther’s question. She nodded as if she was doing him a favor, then pinched Uther’s cheek, who was unable to move, and said.
“Yes, yes, it was great. But if it was great twice, I think it would be the end of the world.”
The cheeks were soft, as if the Sword Origin had been released. Cordelia pinched Yuder’s cheeks a few more times, then pinched her own cheek, then giggled and said.
“My cheeks feel much better. My victory.”
“That sounds good.”
“Oh, good. Very good.”
Cordelia, who had a bashful laugh, squatted down and lifted Gamor Khan’s golden necklace, then grabbed the purple gem and spoke.
“Hey, you know you’re okay, right?”
Because Gamor Khan’s true nature was an evil spirit wearing a golden necklace.
“So don’t play dead and just tell me. Huh?”
As Cordelia pressed once more, a dull light began to glow from the purple necklace.
[How on earth······.]
“Yeah, I just know everything.”
As Cordelia laughed heartily, Gamor Kahn spoke again.
[If you’re thinking of breaking the necklace, it’s no use. Then I’ll just move on and find a new place to live. It’s even better. I can find a new host and take revenge on you guys. So break it quickly. I mean break it!]
“Oh, okay. You were afraid I’d break the necklace? Please don’t break it?”
As Cordelia spoke teasingly, the purple necklace glowed again. An evil black aura ran up Cordelia’s fingers.
But it was impossible.
Cordelia smiled and transformed into an angel, and at that moment, Gamor Khan screamed as the wings of light spread out.
[Ahhh! An angel?! Why an angel!]
“Because she is kind and pretty like an angel.”
Uther said, and Cordelia blushed again.
“Oh, anyway! I’m an angel, right? So just sleep soundly.”
As the purple necklace was infused with angelic power, Gamor Khan’s screams became quieter and the purple gem lost its light.
“Sealing complete.”
If we keep it alive, it might be useful for something.
First of all, he was Malekith’s subordinate.
Cordelia, who had packed the sealed necklace around her waist, poked Yuder’s cheek again and said.
“Hey, you still have a long way to go before you recover, right?”
“Uh, maybe?”
“Then I guess I’ll have to keep playing with it.”
Because Uder, who couldn’t move, was precious.
“Excuse me. An angel? Lady Cordelia?”
“Behave yourself, Mr. Black Cloak.”
Cordelia, who had been laughing, suddenly clapped her hands loudly and gave an evil smile.
He brought his face close to Yuder’s ear, who was sweating profusely.
&
“Wow, it really is resizable?”
Cordelia, who had the Ultimate Five-Grand Order equipped on her right arm, waved her arm up and down several times as if it was a novelty.
In the original, it was a weapon exclusive to warriors, so it was a weapon that the wizard Cain Cordelia had never equipped.
“Haha, I’m excited. I caught Gamor Khan, got the Ultimate Series, cleaned up Mount Damos for the Youngmin, and even Uther became cute.”
“Wait, what did you say?”
Cordelia hummed, ignoring the still red-faced protests of the Uther, then spun around and said.
“Anyway, shall we start going again soon?”
Not under Mount Damos, but into Mount Damos.
“Yes, farming has to be done until the end.”
Since it was the Black Horn Guild’s residence, there must be other things to salvage besides the Ultimate One.
“Okay, let’s go quickly.”
Cordelia, who had returned the Grand Order to hiding, ran towards them with her wings flapping, and Uther eventually smiled.
I took a step forward, gently caressing her ear.
