Chapter 1362 The Path of Light Shining Onto the Flame and Thunder Whirlwind Part 1

Basically, if you happen to do a backflip during the Over-Transmission state, you will die for sure. That’s the iron rule and there is no exception from.

The reason for that is that if you put all of your strength into that particular action as if you were meaning to do a backflip in real life, you could do about five and a half spins in the air instead of the intended one, which would result in you landing neck-first into the ground and snapping your spine in half. And I know for a fact that this statement is true. After all, I happened to die over thirty times or so just so that I could verify that theory under various circumstances.

However, if you have enough strength in you to stretch just a little bit, it would result in you making only one single flip and no more. In short, it would be the same as casting some magic spell. If you memorize the command to make a specific motion in advance, you will not make a mistake even during the most heated of battles. Of course, accidents do happen on the battlefield, especially if you are tired or weakened after a long battle. But as long as your brain remains strong, you can overcome even the greatest shortcomings of your muscles!

[And now it’s time to destroy that part of you!!!]

“Advance” during the Over-Transmission is a movement that starts with me grabbing the ground with my toes, and if I choose to accelerate even further, it will become a movement with me leaning forward slightly with one of my feet slightly ahead of the other one. Since making curved turns is really difficult in that state, I have to exclude them for now. So I need to shorten the distance right now by correcting my angular trajectory via some other means while maintaining the acceleration force the way it is.

The body motif of this lizard monster is that of a chameleon, so it is going to have the advantage when it comes to visibility. Hitting it is not going to be all that simple as it would have been with normal human targets, but…… There is a timing needed even for monsters to make strange movements, just as we could see it demonstrated just now. But you need to have truly exceptional eyesight in order to be able to see such actions unfold in real time. Without that, you would be pretty much screwed.

[Rei-san!]

[R-Right! I’m on it……!]

While we leave the aggro attraction to Sigma for the time being, both Rei-san and I position ourselves at the left and the right sides of the chameleon’s tail, utilizing the fact that its eyesight should be temporarily weakened due to the excessive amount of heat and steam coming out of its body..

And yes indeed, once we get closer to our target we can clearly see that its tail is playing the role of lowering its body temperature. Even though its body emits heat that seems to be able to grill meat into a well-done state, its tail gives off a wave of cold air even though it is connected to the main body still…… But it would also seem to be difficult to cut it from where we stand as well.

Or…… it surely would have been like that for people other than Rei-san and I. But since it is us that we are talking about here, this is hardly even going to be a problem.

[…… “Over-Enhanced Verstex Trim: Red Sun Flame “Prominence”]!”

[Burn, Aradval! Burn and incinerate my enemies!]

Aradval Rebuild is a weapon that hides a mighty flame deep inside of its blade, and in the exact moment when the blade makes contact with the chameleon’s skin, it melts its scales and cuts through its flesh as if they were warm butter. The chilling effect of the tail assaults the blade as if trying to extinguish its flames, but they were burning too bright and too hot to be stopped by something so simple and so basic. That is why the enhanced greatsword still passes through its target without being interrupted even for a moment..

Unfortunately for me, Aradval Rebuild is an anti-dragon special effect weapon, not an anti-reptile special effect weapon. So, while the damage correction is not possible in this particular case, the heat damage still applies here, since this is this sword’s most distinguishing characteristic!

[This sword was born in the scorching heat of Siwon! Think that your little chilling effect is going to be enough to put it out!? I don’t think so!]

After all, what is there to be afraid of here!? This is just some stupid chameloen! An oversized lizard that basically cooks itself alive if it won’t be able to cool itself off somehow. And I wonder how long is it going to last without that precious tail of its!?]

Every time both of us make another slash at that chilling tail, we can see its flesh becoming weaker and softer with each consecutive blow we land. And every single time my sword meets that of Rei-san, their heat violently collides with the tail’s chilling aura, causing huge explosions of steam that for a moment dye our respective fields of vision pure white.

[Hey, both of you! It’s aggro is starting to focus onto you once again! So get out of there while you still can!]

[[Roger that!!]]

Hearing that and giving an appropriate response, I quickly activate the skill “Eternal Eye Chronostakisia”. With its help, I am granted a correction and strengthening to my visual capabilities, ones that even exceed those of True World Observation “Quantum Gaze” and also receive slow reduction reduction to my entire body that is proportional to the values of Dexterity, Technique, and Agility combined!

I would have used that skill a whole lot sooner, but It’s just that it’s difficult to use that particular skill while its Recast Time is increased so much, not to mention the fact that the same can be said for all other skills that would have combined with that one quite nicely. This means that in my current state, instead of spamming my skills with reckless abandon I must save them for the moments when they will become absolutely crucial on the battlefield to be used, and even then I have to use them wisely.

Inside of this very familiar world of slowed down time, I get a familiar feeling as if my body is now cutting through dense liquid that surrounds me on all sides. However, just before my body can be slowed down to the point where it would be essentially held in place, I hit my chest and activate the effects of the Black Lightning that forces my body forward with an excessive amount of force and speed.

By jumping with the use of that force on the left foot and intentionally adjusting the direction of the rotation, while I avoid the slash of the chameleon’s whip-like tail while being suspended upside down, if I swing my right hand with a lot of force, the burning sword held in that hand is going to shoot forward, slashing everything that is in its path..
