Chapter 229.2

They’re just people who put my body on .

So it’s easy to guess who these people are .

Gods cannot directly interfere to that level, so their disciples must be in control .

“Correct . ”

One of the mirages confirms my suspicions .

Their arrogant tone is really unpleasant .

I recall the mirage I faced on the 35th floor .

My current situation is opposite to the 35th floor .

My mirage rivaled me in skills and power, but my experience was superior .

This time they have superior experience .

I calmly analyse the situation .

They can use my powers from a higher realm, but they also have limits .

Note: This is a repeat of floor 35, I’ll try to look at the world again to see if it’s truly realm . I recall one of the definitions we had was “state of being” . I believe it something like “different dimension” or “different level” in terms of power scaling . I’ll continue to work on this . – GodlyCash

My limit is their limit .

This is a confrontation between apostles who can use my powers from a higher realm and me using my powers more skillfully .

“This will be fun . ”

Firstly, let’s upset the situation .

I mold my aura in the air and spin it .

“Stop, challenger! We’ve only come to test your limits! “

“Lalala, I can’t hear you~ . ”

“We should subdue him before testing him . ”

The mirages speak a few words to each other then spread their wings and rush towards me .

Aside from them, I sense an additional threat from a different direction .

I know what that threat is .

My technique, Spatial Rift Mind Slash, unfolds before me .

When I used it, I never noticed that the technique was so conspicuous .

It seems necessary to improve this skill to be more covert .

After breaking through the barrage of Mind Slashes, I calmly attack the apostles .

It’s clear that the apostles have yet to familiarize themselves with my strength .

They’re trying to unleash attacks that exceed my limits, so they repeatedly miss opportunities .

I can’t overwhelm all five of them at the same time, but I can maintain aura spheres with one arm alone .

Designate Opponent, that increased my power proportionally to my opponent’s level, and Perseverance, which increased my strength proportional to the number of enemies, are very helpful here .

Zit Pop is almost finished .

The apostles that had rushed at me in irritation and impatience start to form faces of discomfort and embarrassment .

Now, they step back with obvious panic, unlike the beginning .

However, they did not try to stop my Zit Pop .

The apostle formed their own aura spheres .

They were invisible, but those must also be Zit Pop .

You guys want to perish with me?

Good .

“Let’s go to hell, you bastards . ”

The invisible aura spheres start to glow from the generated heat .

“Zit Pop . ”

Another flash .

Under the collisions of Light Swords, everything burned and everyone was blinded, but those problems were insignificant .

Everything in this area has already been consumed by flames .

The empty wasteland can no longer be found as a result of being melted by flames .

Sensing that the whole space is filled with light and heat, this is what I envisioned hell to be like .

No, the God of Light would enjoy this so it’d be heaven to certain gods .

I can leisurely sort my thoughts thanks to my light sword .

The first two forms of Light Sword can be simplified as stabbing and slashing .

As the friction between the accelerating aura intensifies, so does the dissipating light and heat .

The destructiveness of this skill is far beyond the capacity of the users .

If used improperly, the user will be in a more perilous situation than the enemy . The user will not be safe even if the technique is used successfully . It can still be considered a suicidal technique .

It’s very powerful, but it requires too much focus and skill to use .

By the time I mastered the first two forms, I considered discarding the technique .

If the knight on the 16th floor hadn’t mentioned the peculiar third form, I wouldn’t have continued to hone it .

The third form of light sword returns to its foundation as a defensive swordsmanship .

Light Sword is a technique that burns and destroys everything including the user, but the third form is a defensive technique .

It is counterintuitive .

I once thought that this insane technique was created to destroy the world and see who would survive in the end .

The completion of the third form requires me to rotate the energy .

The third form is the sustainable use of Light Sword .

An omnidirectional attack .

It doesn’t matter where I direct the technique, everything will be destroyed by the Light Sword .

So I twist and rotate this force, turning myself into the eye of a typhoon to escape from the storm .

When I was left with no power and a weak body on the 35th floor, I used Light Sword to slay the demon king .

“Time Confinement . ”

I use Time Confinement again .

As time slowed down, everything else slowed along with it .

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve activated Time Confinement since the beginning of this battle .

Our initial confrontation feels like distant past .

One of the apostles’ Light Sword is being absorbed by our immense chain of energy .

Compared to the intense concentrated rings of energy, the Light Sword seems weak and insignificant .

I don’t sense this with my eyes .

Because of the strong light, my eyeballs are in a constant state of recovery and can no longer function .

Even if my eyes were still functional, this is not a fight that can be observed with the naked eye .

The world through the eyes of magic is magnificent .

The six rings formed by intersecting light and heat are slowly rotating .

Time is supposed to slow to a near halt through Time Confinement, but the world around me continues to move slowly .

Six rapidly rotating rings are absorbing everything in the surroundings .

Little by little we close in on each other .

The five apostles and I initially tried to distance ourselves, but the force of attraction pulled us closer together .

But I can’t withdraw any energy .

I’ll die on the spot the moment I hold back .

On the contrary, I need to pour more strength to keep it under my grasp for fear of losing all of it .

The end is approaching .

The rings of energy will collide soon .

The result is obvious .

Everything will be engulfed in flames .

It is fun to imagine a landscape filled to the brim with the inferno .

I observe the massive flow of energy in Time Confinement .

Time Confinement abruptly ends and the rings of energy that were moving slowly now rotate violently .

[Warrior! We’ll die if it goes on like this!]

Ahbooboo screams .

We understand each other so well .

Despite the fierce clash, his voice is conveyed with clarity .

[It’ll be fine . ]

After leaving him with that sentence, I reactivate Time Confinement .

I feel Ahbooboo nearing his melting point so I wanted to safeguard him in the inventory like I did with Seregia, but I don’t have that kind of luxury right now .

I continue examining the clash and flow of energy within the slowed world .

I don’t know how many times I can use Time Confinement before we die together .

Perhaps I should worry more about my concentration and mental limits rather than the time limit .

The efficiency of Time Confinement has vastly improved compared to the past .

I don’t know if it’s due to the improvement in my concentration or simply the will of the God of Slow .

If I can maintain this efficiency, I’m certain I can use Time Confinement thousands of times more before my death .

In other words, if I can’t maintain my concentration and mental strength, death is inevitable .

If I persist, I’ll be able to enter a new realm .
