330 Two Ultimate Skills at once!
Chapter 330: Two Ultimate Skills at once!
‘I have Guardian Mana… That’s how I defeated Liam Wall, right?’ Alex thought while his sword bounced off Erik’s weapon.
He lost count of how many times they repeated that movement while aiming for each other’s necks.
His thoughts swarmed his mind, ‘I also have Wrath, but that’s a concept I am unfamiliar with, even though I got a pretty good grasp of it.’
Alex blended Wrath with his legendary quest, using items at his disposal to create his army. If he used it against Erik, Alex didn’t know how he would fight or whether it would be enough.
What was precisely stronger? The Wrath or The Antagonist’s Mana?
What were their origins?
Alex didn’t want to rely on them.
He knew that Elias Deathwill studied and plotted with the Wrath and other sins for his own gain. Alex couldn’t use that power yet. The same went for the guardian mana, for his father wanted him to not use it..
Alex was also significantly weaker than Erik. It wasn’t just a level gap, even though it played a crucial role in their clash.
Erik had years of experience. He was a player who became the antagonist, his rank relatively high, for he was ranked 44th on the ranking.
Alex’s talent didn’t have time to bloom, yet his opponent had a fair share of fighting with his life on the line.
The difference in experience was clear between them.
‘Stella… I will use your Ultimate Skill, okay?’ Alex recalled his beautiful white-haired lady who was in a coma. She was in a different world, sleeping for a few days because of her bastard father.
She wasn’t here, yet Alex believed he would be able to use [Husband’s Command(SSS)] to equip her Ultimate Skill.
‘I know I can use it… for you would always help me, Stella…’ Alex whispered in a voice laced with affection, his heart growing warmer as the image of a slothful and clever girl brimmed his mind.
And as those feeling coursed through him, The Fallen Goddess’ Marriage Ring flashed with a golden light.
[You have created a connection between The Avander World and Earth.]
“Ultimate Skill!” Alex shouted out of his lungs, not wasting any second!
[You have used Stella’s Ultimate Skill.]
[You have used The Dullahan King’s Sword Ultimate Skill(Inferior Version)]
BANG!
The sky turned golden, for more wings sprouted from Alex’s back. He looked like a holy divinity with a golden eye, white hair, and rapidly healing wounds. If it weren’t for a dark mist oozing out from the dullahan king’s sword, influencing Alex’s body characteristics, people would mistake Alex for a god.
But as the dullahan power was also powerful, Alex’s right eye shone blue, his skin paled more, and he easily could become headless.
[Your status has been updated.]
[You have received new skills.]
Alex didn’t have to read those skills to learn about them. He fought with his wives often, so he knew their skills, such as the dullahan’s mist or holy pillar. In fact, Stella rode him while swathed in the latter, didn’t she?
Alex smiled, feeling a new, profound power going through him. In this state, he didn’t feel like he would lose at all.
And as he formed a new battle style, it was time to adapt!
[You have become headless.]
Alex naturally separated his head, coating himself in dullahan and winged people’s defensive skills. He formed so much mist around himself that it clouded the sky, seemingly black clouds.
The holy energy penetrated through clouds like sunshine. This was to protect Alex’s head, for it became vulnerable.
Of course, Alex received a significant boost since he went into headless mode!
[0)ᴠʟ [You have cut a soul link with your headless body.]
[Your body will soon enter the mindless state.]
[You have stopped the mindless state.]
“Your innate ability to read emotions is superb, Stella,” Alex commented as he won the bet. In the headless state, his body would become stronger and sharper. He would lose control over it, though.
But as the holy energy coursed through him, Stella’s bloodline within him became much stronger than ever before. Her innate skill evolved temporarily.
And Alex stuffed his emotions in his headless body, getting control over it.
“Let’s see how you deal with me now, Erik,” Alex commented, his voice echoing through the sky as he didn’t want to reveal his head’s location. He used wind magic to achieve this simple feat.
Erik gazed at the headless body in admiration. It wasn’t easy to keep two different energies in one body, after all. Alex did it as one hundred player, so his potential and class surely eclipsed many legends from the Avander World.
He closed his eyes, letting his sword go, “You really want to see my demon, don’t you?” His weapon floated to his side.
Erik then recalled his past, elder sister, and pain from purgatory…
[Sis! I will always protect you! We will have a lot of fun in this game!]
[It’s the perfect escape from reality, isn’t it, sister?]
[Erik! Go and make friends!]
[Huh? I don’t want… They all look at us and our financial situation! I always only had you, sister!]
[You are just scared, Erik… But not everyone will just look at your background. Look! We are in the game! We have become wealthy enough to afford two capsules! It’s our hard work that got us here! And you know… I think I fell in love…]
[Huh…]
“Ahhhhhhhh!” Erik screamed out of his lungs, his mana erupting like a volcano from his body. Behind him, a demon with a similar face to him appeared. But as his skin was rough and withered, the demon looked grotesque.
His right hand had claws akin to a sword. On his left, the demon had a shield instead of his hand.
The demon screamed as well. Their howls generated so much mana that no one could approach them. Even worse, demi-humans below stopped moving in fear, for their hearts halted, frightened by the demon.
