Chapter 55-56: Gigantes

94 strength and 92 stamina . These two physical abilities were over 90 .

I was well ahead in magic power .

‘I need to raise my intelligence as soon as possible . ’

It was disgraceful that I was lagging behind Gigantes in intelligence . However, I decided not to invest the remaining points in intelligence .

I took out Wrath .

“Chrisley . I am going . ”

Chrisley’s eyes were very wide and she said in a worried tone .

“Will you be okay?”

“I won’t fight a losing battle . ”

I wouldn’t come out if I wasn’t qualified .

Gigantes might have the advantage in physical ability but that was it . The total sum of my stats was similar to Gigantes . I would use my strong attack skills, techniques and judgement to win .

Chrisley glanced at Gigantes before bowing to me .

“Please be careful, my Dungeon Master: . ”

Soon Chrisley led the griffin and pyrocks away from the altar .

I also commanded the two fire golems guarding the altar to move out of here . The golems pushed through the thin walls until I was left alone with Gigantes .

“You have been waiting a long time . ”

“You, defeat me! Then, I will follow . ”

This place was prepared for me .

Gigantes had a short pronunciation .

I held Wrath and took an attack stance .

“I was going to do that from the beginning . Paranormal . ”

Paranormal was a unique grade ring . An item that would randomly trigger one of five blessings .

-Paranormal’s blessing! A powerful attraction has been granted .

I clicked my tongue . I was given charm . It was actually the most useless blessing .

Kung!

I strongly pushed off with my feet .

Jijijik!

At the same time, an electric current spread through my body . I momentarily reached out for Lightning God .

I could confirm it through my inner eyes . I could take advantage of magic power . I preferred a fierce struggle involving sweat and blood but this would still work .

I took advantage of magic power when using skills .

Kururung!

Gigantes struck the ground with a large hexagonal shaped club . The dungeon started endlessly ringing .

94 strength . An incredible power that could push a mountain! I wouldn’t survive if I was standing in front of it . My stamina was 82 so it was a little low to defend against Gigantes .

‘Now!’

However, the large actions meant it was easy to avoid . Luckily Gigantes’ agility wasn’t high so I could read his movements .

I struck with Wrath the moment Gigantes’ club hit the ground .

Chwaruru!

A strong current flowed from Wrath towards the ground . The current soon reached the club that Gigantes’ hands were wrapped around .

“Hup!”

There was a relationship between intelligence and magic power . And Gigantes didn’t have high magic power . Lightning God Technique was able to deal a decisive blow thanks to that .

Gigantes’ hands momentarily loosened from the club . I immediately removed Wrath from the ground and kicked off . I jumped high in the air and aimed Wrath at Gigantes . No matter how high the stamina, there was no creature that could survive losing its head or heart!

But my plan was doomed to fail in the execution stage .

Kurururung! The ground of the dungeon surged up to defend Gigantes’ head . But I couldn’t break it because it wasn’t ordinary rock .

Kakang!

The problem was that it was strengthened by a skill .

Arms of the Earth (Ex U) skill . A specialized skill for defense .

Wrath couldn’t pierce the wall and Gigantes strongly swung his club .

‘Dangerous!’

The club was being filled with a strong magic power .

Gigantes had two skills and the remaining Gigantic Slash (Epic) was used . Gigantic Slash wasn’t a skill that I could counter .

I hastily retreated as Gigantes prepared the attack .

Gigantes wielded the club that had a significant amount of condensed magic power .

Kwaaaaang!

Intense vibrations . The surrounding pressure was sucked into the club . A 10 metres large crack was formed . It stretched out along the ground and walls .

I barely managed to avoid being hit by it .

Truly an epic level . It was comparable to the griffin’s lightning . Rather, the attack power seemed slightly stronger . The griffin’s lightning attack was a wide area attack while Gigantes’ skill was more concentrated .

I frowned .

Once the skill ended, half of the altar had vanished without a trace .

‘It isn’t impossible to repair but……’

Literally a mess . I seemed to have chosen the wrong place . It was evident that the altar would require a considerable amount of time to fix .

Either way, I could be sure of one thing with this attack .

‘Not that bad . ’

I didn’t have to use the Wrath skill .

I calmly looked at Gigantes .

Arms of the Earth gave him superior defense but Gigantes couldn’t attack while it was active . It also took a little bit of time to trigger . And Gigantic Slash exerted absolute havoc but it was easily avoided .

I should target these two properties .

I determined my course of action and immediately jumped up again . Gigantes was also aware that I was floating in the air . He tried to swing his club at me as I struck his body with Wrath .

Chiik! Wrath scratched Gigantes . My physical ability was lower but I used ‘technique’ to my advantage .

I narrowed the distance to Gigantes’ throat . If I was this close then Arms of the Earth wouldn’t trigger .

Pasak!

I used all my power to pierce his neck but it couldn’t go in deeply . I struggled to cut the skin . I wasn’t embarrassed to stick my body close to Gigantes .

‘My strength is low but that isn’t the reason . It feels like I am hitting a wall . Does Arm of the Earth also enhance the physical abilities of the body?’

Dirt seemed to fall from the cut on his neck .

Tsk!

I didn’t think there would be a second wall around the body .

“G-grrr!”

But that didn’t mean nothing happened . Gigantes had hard skin but I used magic power . The magic power that filled Wrath caused damage to the wound .

“Mischief, here, up!”

Gigantes was very angry . Smoke rose from his body as he started gathering power .

Gigantes was preparing Gigantic Slash .

I quickly switched from offense to defense and prepared for the shock . But…this Gigantic Slash had a subtly different feel to it .

‘It will hit everywhere!’

I started frowning .

I deemed that it was impossible to avoid so I poured all my power into the Lightning God Technique . I would use it to offset the Gigantic Slash .

There were a difference in the skill rating but I had much higher magic power . I poured all my power into the skill .

But it didn’t take me long to figure out that it was the wrong decision .

Kuaaaaaaang!

It seemed like a lightning storm was occurring . It was a disaster because the slash wasn’t lacking magic power .

The vibration of this Gigantic Slash couldn’t compare to the one before . The width was dozens of metres…I pulled up all my magic power with gritted teeth .

I overlapped the wavelength of magic power in order to increase the density . The layered electric shield stood before me to block the Gigantic Slash .

Jijijik! Jijijik!

I had created exactly 7 layers .

7 layers was the limit of the Lightning God Technique but it was instantly being peeled off by Gigantic Slash .

2nd layer, 4th layer, 6th layer . Finally the 7th layer of the shield broke .

The damage of Gigantic Slash had greatly decreased during this time but I was forced to face the rest with my body .

“Cough!”

The slash hit my chest .

I was forced backwards and coughed up blood .

‘It is unfortunate . ’

I wiped off the blood at my lips while confirming the injury . There was a large wound from my shoulder to my bellybutton . It scratched the sleeping Lightning God at the same time . Blood relentlessly flowed .

If I dragged the time out then it would become more disadvantageous .

Should I use the Wrath skill?

Oddly enough, I had a strange confidence that I could win without using Wrath . I was experiencing the aftermath of the attack so I couldn’t understand it .

“Cough!”

But…at that moment my body started feeling feverish . This feeling was similar to when I received the Heart of the Hell Monarch . Blood started moving around my entire body .

Magic power was flowing from my heart . The magic power flowing fiercely started eroding my entire body . My expression hardened .

‘The flow of magic power is reversing!’

I gritted my teeth .

Magic power reversal . A phenomenon that could kill a demon!

I had already experienced something like this . I knew the feeling well . Definitely . The power from Gigantic Slash had flowed into my heart .

The magic power contained in the Heart of the Hell Monarch transcended imaginable levels . But if it awakened then it would increase my magic power and intelligence . Fighting Gigantes wouldn’t be a problem .

I urgently focused mentally .

I corrected the flow of magic power . The maximum amount of magic power was given to the heart while the rest was focused on repairing the wounds .

Potions or elixirs wouldn’t be helpful . Forcefully sealing the magic power might cause unknown side effects .

The only way was to restore the magic power reversal . But an unexpected thing happened once again .

I had been hit by Gigantic Slash between my heart and my bellybutton .

Lightning God sleeping underneath my bellybutton started waking up . Then it swallowed up handfuls of the magic power like it was hungry?

Lightning God was incapable of going near my heart . It acted like it was fleeing from a horrible existence . Now it wasn’t acting like that . It was defiantly gobbling up the magic power .

I stopped putting boundaries on the magic power . So it started overflowing again . It would be beneficial if I could reduce it…in my calculations there weren’t any losses .

Thus Lightning God started devouring the magic power . At that time, all my focus was on Lightning God .

-Heart of the Hell Monarch has woken up .

-‘Lightning God Technique (U)’ has evolved to ‘Lightning Elemental (Epic) . ’

‘Lightning Elemental’ is a common property of the spirits . It has been reborn as a special spirit after swallowing the magic power of a true demonic dragon, dark elf and Hell Monarch .

I opened my eyes .

The sight before me didn’t look any different from before . But a very big change had happened inside me . I could be certain of one thing .

My spirit felt refreshed . My magic power was stable and it also healed my injuries . Lightning God was even more lively than before .

‘Status window . ’

I could easily see the changes this way .

The status window soon surfaced in front of me .

Name: Randalph BrigsielOccupationDemon Earl(Dungeon Master)Title*Dungeon Hunter (residual stats +1 when occupying dungeons and hunting demons)

* Indomitable Warrior (Ex U, all stats +2)

* First to Receive a Fairy’s Blessing (U, Magic +6)

Remaining Stat Points: 3

Electric Power: 16GW

Uniqueness: Heart of the Hell Monarch has has woken up .

Skill: Skill Combination (R), Mind’s Eye (Ex U), Lightning Elemental (Epic), Wrath (Epic)

-[Before and After Comparison]

Strength 88 Intelligence 66 Agility 76 Stamina 82 Magic 90 Potential (379+23/500)

Strength 88 Intelligence 74 Agility 76 Stamina 82 Magic 93 Potential (390+23/500)

Intelligence had greatly increased . It rose by 8 . It was as sweet as discovering an oasis in the desert . My low intelligence was already holding me back .

And magic power by 3 . It was remarkable considering that my magic power had already reached 90 .

Also…my original 4GW electric power had instantly transformed into 16GW . 1GW was 1,000 megawatts so it had grown by 250 times . Considering that original figures of the 12 star Lightning God Technique, it had increased by 4 times .

Finally, the skill had changed . The three question marks had disappeared and it changed into Lightning Elemental (Epic) .

A epic grade spirit? Almost none of the common spirits reached beyond the rare rating . An epic rating was equivalent to a high class spirit .

I called Lightning God out of my body .

‘Come out . ’

Jijijik!

The form of a snake made out of lightning emerged as I called . It was only the size of a skull but it gave off a strong presence .

This snake was Lightning God . The snake didn’t look that different from the way I imagined it when it was wandering in my body . I nodded and turned my head .

“You have been waiting a long time . ”

“You, blocked it . Changed . I wait! You, knight!”

Gigantes looked at me with curiosity .

I just laughed .

I had blocked the maximum power Gigantic Slash . The status window said that Gigantes was a knight of a god .

He had high intelligence and respected the opponent .

That’s why he didn’t attack me .

‘A gift is a gift . ’

It was a welcome but unexpected gift .

This whole thing hadn’t gone as I planned but surprises like these were the fun part of the ‘Devil’s Game . ’

Even if I returned…thinking of all the elements waiting for me that I hadn’t experienced in my previous life made me excited .

The path wasn’t fixed . The path to the Devil’s throne wouldn’t be smooth . Reaching the peak of the Demon World was my goal . That was the only reason to get my hands on the name ‘Devil . ’

I was convinced from the time I first made that goal .

“Then the 2nd round will start . ”

It was the start of a full-fledged struggle .

Lightning God evolved into a lightning spirit!

At first I thought it was the size of a skull but it gradually became bigger during the battle . Soon the snake was large enough to be called a type of ‘dragon . ’

The epic grade skill used my high magic power to drill through Gigantic Slash .

‘The electric power is rapidly reducing . ’

I had a total of 16GW . 1GW was disappearing every minute . This meant Lightning God would work for 16 minutes tops .

‘16 minutes is not enough . ’

However, Lightning God definitely came in handy . It could neutralize Gigantic Slash and penetrate through Arm of the Earth .

Gigantes couldn’t withstand the high magic power accumulated in each strike . He only endured due to his high magic power .

“Kuwaaahhh!”

Gigantes couldn’t think straight due to the attack on all sides from Lightning God . It was just a matter of time . Eventually Lightning God entered his body .

‘It is certainly a great power . ’

Gigantes looked a little tired .

Lightning God shut down the pure muscles . He had transcended the border of 90 stat points . But it was impossible for him to cut of the magic power .

Electric power reduced twice as fast . There was only a few minutes remaining at most . I needed to bring an end to this now .

“What, this! You, no . This can’t be!”

Gigantes shouted like a beast .

I shrugged .

“I gained a new skill thanks to the time you gave me . Weren’t you aware that I changed?”

Gigantes had noticed the changes inside my body . He waited until the change was completed . Therefore he didn’t have the right to complain about the skill .

As expected, the furious Gigantes couldn’t fight anymore .

“Grrr! Lost!”

“Did I pass the test?”

“Yes! You, I now follow . ”

Hwiririk!

I put away Wrath and Lightning God . Lightning God rapidly became smaller as it was sucked into my body .

‘Two high class creatures . ’

Griffin and Gigantes!

It was a ridiculous performance for less than 2 years .

High class creatures were very limited until the second half of the war . Only Dukes or above could handle a high class creature…I looked at Gigantes with pleasure .

Kung!

Then the wounded Gigantes kneeled down .

“Master!”

I exited the altar with Gigantes .

Chrisley was waiting for me in front of the wall .

“You’re safe . ”

“You must have been worried . ”

I spoke like it wasn’t a big deal .

The magic power reversal was a bit dangerous but I still had the ‘Wrath’ skill remaining . But the result was like I expected .

“I am your faithful servant . I spend every day worrying about you . ”

“Tell me if there are any problems . I feel good today so I will listen . ”

I obtained a lot .

Having a high class creature with a certain degree of intelligence like Gigantes would solve some of my problems . It also felt good to have my skill rating increase .

Then Chrisley said with pink cheeks .

“T-then…my Dungeon Master . Tonight…”

She didn’t say anything else . But I could understand her meaning . There had been little contact with Chrisley since the ceremony .

And after going through several dangers? I also felt desire swell .

“There is no need to wait for night . ”

I roughly kissed Chrisley .

My consciousness was engrossed and I didn’t come out until three days later .

* * *

The task of taking over the Japan dungeon .

I obtained a few items that originally belonged to Adol .

‘Modified Dungeon Crystal Ball and Seed of the World Tree . This is good . ’

The Dungeon Crystal Ball was an magic item that allowed me to see inside the dungeon . It required 100,000 points to purchase so I gratefully accepted it from Adol .

And the Seed of the World Tree . It was a useful item to change the terrain .

If I planted the Seed of the World Tree then a dense forest would grow overnight . A size that couldn’t be compared to the small forest that Yihi made . It would be impossible to get through one layer of the forest .

‘An item that wasn’t mentioned in the shop……’

I remember it came out a few times in the Demon World Auction . But the Seed of the World Tree hadn’t come out in the previous auction . This meant Adol gained it separately but I didn’t know the source .

Anyway, it would be very effective when planting it in an area of dark elves .

Due to the nature of the elves, the forest would get more power . If I was lucky then a World Tree might emerge . There was only a small chance but a World Tree emerging would give many effects . Increasing the propagation rate or elements…it was an item I expected a lot from .

“The connection of the link?”

“Just a little bit more . ”

The fairy Guyo was busy concentrating at the Dungeon Core . It was to create a link between the South Korean and Japanese dungeons .

As the Dungeon Master of the South Korea dungeon, I could create a link with any dungeon identified as ‘my dungeon . ’

I didn’t have to walk back to South Korea’s dungeon . And it was like I expected .

“Ah! Master, the link is connected!”

The Dungeon Core started to resonate .

Kuuuuong!

The barrier outside the dungeon was released for a while as a magic wavelength connected between the dungeons in South Korea and Japan . Meanwhile, all the creatures between the dungeon instinctively dropped from the intense magic power .

A red light stretched in a straight line from the Dungeon Core . A light of the same colour came from the South Korea dungeon and met in the middle of the Sea of Japan .

The lights tangled with each other . It furiously moved up and down before the ‘Light Barrier’ was completed between Japan and South Korea .

An overwhelming sight . Everyone was captivated looking at it .

This barrier disappeared after approximately 30 seconds .

‘That’s great . ’

At that moment, a magic circle was engraved near the Dungeon Core .

* * *

I left Japan’s dungeon with the creatures .

The dungeon in South Korea hadn’t changed a lot .

Yihi flapped her wings crazily .

“Master . Who is Guyo? Huh? Who is that bum? I believed…Yihi is disappointed because I thought I was your only fairy . ”

“Is it because of the position of Fairy King? Don’t worry . So far you have the upper hand . ”

The position of the Fairy King .

A competition between the fairies . The Fairy King didn’t mean they became stronger but they could stand above other fairies . Therefore the strongest candidate would become the next Fairy King . The fairy had a spiritual body and a long life span .

“Hing . Yihi is still disappointed . Master made Yihi sad . Now I don’t want to give you honey anymore . ”

“Little thing! Rude!”

“What are you?”

Yihi had never seen Gigantes before! She stared .

“Little thing! Master, rude!”

She came to the conclusion that Gigantes had a horribly scary face .

Yihi furtively glanced at Gigantes .

“Y-Yihi, this, do you think I am scared? Y-Yihi is the fairy of this Dungeon Core! I-if you are mean then Yihi will feed you to the bees . I won’t forgive you . ”

Yihi placed both hands on her waist . However, she was still avoiding his gaze . Even the fairy of the Dungeon Core was afraid of Gigantes’ face .

I shook my head and said .

“Yihi . Tell me the history of the creatures you purchased from the store . ”

I planned to breed a species that fit South Korea’s dungeon .

Yihi pointed her finger .

“Y-you . Today you are lucky . Y-you should thank Master . Yihi was going to punish you . Today I am busy so I will skip it . ”

Yihi said this but her body was shaking .

Anyway, she was the subdued winner in the showdown with Gigantes .
