Chapter 455

As space itself trembled from a single punch,?the viewers’ reaction was anything but normal.

-holy shit holy shit holy shit

-What is that effect?????????

-Wait, the space is shaking?????

-How is she making space resonate with a fist?????

-That effect’s different than before?????

-That was legit space vibrating;;;

-So you’re saying one punch is Secret-Arts level????

Everyone was typing like that, completely blown away.

Even before, Luna’s fists had often given off a feeling like they were making space ripple.

But the way it was finely shuddering right now was clearly different from before.

Reaper, with one arm cut off, watched that and felt a chill run down his spine.

If that had hit him, he really might have died.

That was why Reaper became even more careful as he replaced the arm he’d cut off with shadow.

Luna saw that—and even as she was falling, she threw Reaper’s left arm back to him, kicked off the air, and rushed him at high speed.

BOOOOM———!!!

It sounded like a shell exploding as Luna shot forward.

Compared to kicking off the ground, it was a very slow speed.

And yet it was still fast—Luna’s speed.

But Reaper was fast too, all the same.

With the shadow-replaced left arm, he used his equipment’s effect to retrieve his daggers, gripped them, and slashed rapidly at the Luna flying in.

Because Luna’s speed had dropped compared to before, Reaper’s attacks reached her first—

and in that moment, Luna thrust out a fist wrapped in that pale gray haze, and the slashes vanished in a scatter.

TIDIDIDIDING——!!

He’d thought the slashes had disappeared from nothing more than the fist wind.

But that wasn’t it.

That pale gray energy, rising like a haze over Luna’s entire body—

Reaper could tell it wasn’t normal.

It felt like chaos, like light and darkness mixed together—

but inside it, it also felt like order was slowly being set straight.

And Reaper realized.

‘That’s Luna’s...’

This was the ability of a Luna who had understood the power called Primordial.

But he couldn’t just stand there staring.

Just like Luna, he wrapped shadow around his whole body—shadow-form—and kept swinging his blades at Luna as she charged in.

Luna traded offense and defense with Reaper, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Even when a massive crater formed, they kept fighting inside it, and even when dirt and dust surged up, they didn’t give it even the time to spread.

Because the blades and fists flying at each other were more than enough to destroy and scatter everything around them.

PABABABABABABABABABABABA!!!

If Luna was overwhelmingly superior in power—

then in number of strikes, and in subtlety, Reaper had a slight edge.

But in front of overwhelming force, number and subtlety didn’t do much.

And even in technique completion and control, Luna was better.

As Reaper’s shadows kept taking hits from an insane number of punches,?Reaper couldn’t understand it at all.

‘How is this even getting hit?’

Right now, he was shadow itself.

Normally, shadow shouldn’t be something you can strike.

It should nullify all physical force.

But Luna’s power was physical force too—and yet it wasn’t passing through at all.

An incomprehensible phenomenon.

And the viewers felt the same way.

-??????????

-Why can’t it pass through the shadow??????

-What even is this????

-What is that??????

-She’s hitting shadow?

-It said he “cut” it...! Wait, no, that’s not it?

-What is it?????

-So she’s just Primordial Savage Lord and she can do that??

-Right?

No one could understand it.

By now, everyone knew that lord-type classes all handled concepts.

But “Primordial Savage Lord” sounded like it should just make you think of a savage warrior.

So how in the world could she strike shadow?

Savage and “hitting shadow” felt like completely different things.

While everyone was baffled—

Seong explained it.

“Don’t think of her as a Savage Lord. Think of Primordial.”

“Right. Primordial is the key.”

At Seong and Helena’s words, the viewers’ confusion only deepened.

Wasn’t Primordial Savage Lord still just... a Savage Lord at the beginning?

That thought spread.

-But isn’t it still a Savage Lord either way?

-If it has “Primordial” in front, it’s probably different though???

-Doesn’t it just mean “the first”?

-No, ‘primordial’ is like the time when heaven and earth were just starting to form.

-Oh, that’s what it means??????

-I didn’t know;;;

Not many people actually knew what “primordial” meant in a precise sense.

So when someone typed the exact meaning—

a few people latched onto that.

And then—

-Okay, but if it’s the time when heaven and earth were just being created, what changes???

-Right?

-Am I the only one who doesn’t get it????? lmaoooo

-lmaoooo I don’t get it either lmao

-lmaoooo it’s wild that anyone knows.

-Wait... if it’s right when the world’s being created, doesn’t that mean rules and stuff weren’t established yet?

-Oh???????????

-Huh?????????

-That’s it!!!!

Someone typed something close to the answer.

Everyone piled on like, That’s it, and Seong nodded like he agreed.

“That’s right. You could interpret it as before laws were established. So she can have power that steps outside the laws like that. And conversely, it’s also a power that can ignore the opponent’s laws, even if only a little.”

The instant they heard Seong say that, everyone’s mouths fell open.

Just from the explanation alone—

it was unbelievably overpowered.

-That’s insane;;;;;

-For real, that’s busted as hell????

-Wow, it was a crazy class;;;;

-I thought it was just an exhibitionist class;;;;;

-Right? lmaoooo

-That’s why we were grateful~ cheers~

-It’s kind of a shame she can cover up a lot more now.

-??? I actually like it better.

-Get out.

While people were listening to Seong’s commentary like that,?the match was already tilting.

Even as they traded countless exchanges, Reaper’s damage kept stacking up, little by little.

It was at the point where the outcome was clearly visible—

so Reaper clenched his teeth and tried to endure no matter what.

But—

“Guhk!!!”

In front of fists that still ignored laws, shadow or not, there was too little he could do.

He tried again to make the world out of shadow—

but just like a state where heaven and earth had only just formed, in front of Luna’s fists, everything returned to its original state.

If Reaper’s level of understanding had been higher than Luna’s,?Luna wouldn’t have been able to ignore Reaper’s laws.

But the fact that he was already behind in understanding meant there was no way he could have any chance at victory.

That was why Reaper looked at Luna with a bitter face and thought,

‘I thought I’d at least be able to bring out Secret Arts...’

He realized he wasn’t there yet.

With sad eyes, he had no choice but to be completely retired by Luna’s final punch, collapsing.

KUUUUNG———!!!

When Reaper fell,

Helena’s heavenly power immediately healed him.

He still hadn’t come back to his senses, but all status effects were gone, and his stamina returned.

-Wow, that was so overwhelming there’s nothing to argue about;;;;

-Right lmaooo

-Wow, shivers

-Luna’s seriously strong;;;

-She’s not the one overseeing a backup team full of monsters for nothing, yeah;;;

-Honestly, other than the Demon King’s vassals, I don’t think anyone can deny Luna’s #1.

-lmaoooo where’d all the people go who were saying the bye was unfair earlier????

The viewers typed like that, praising Luna.

Of course, there was respect for Reaper too.

-Reaper fought well too.

-For real, beating Kyou was actually insane.

-Right.

-Train more this time and try to reach Luna.

-lmaoooo if that happens it’d be so fun though.

-I’m rooting for Reaper!!!

Maybe a lot of people became Reaper fans this time because they were cheering him on—

there were a ton of warm comments like that.

And in the middle of it, a few people started raising a question.

Even though Luna had won, instead of celebrating, it felt like she was preparing something.

By now, people started looking forward to what came next.

-Okay, now Part 2 has to start, right?????

-Being able to watch Part 2 on the Demon King’s stream too lmaoooo

-Didn’t Mugan also go into Part 2?????

-That was the same content, this is different lol

-A different content having a Part 2 is still Part 2!!!!

-Last time it was more like taking a break and coming back to do the content again.

-lol yeah that’s true.

More and more people started looking forward to the new content like that.

And some were even guessing what would happen.

-What’s it gonna be???

-They clearing a dungeon?

-Or something cooperative????

-They didn’t train just to sort ranks, right???

-So what is it, seriously????

As everyone got curious and started questioning it,?Seong spoke like he was teasing them a little.

“Then we’ll take a break, and we’ll turn the stream back on for Part 2.”

When Seong said that in a playful tone,?the chat started exploding to near-riot levels.

-What?!

-At least tell us before you go!!!!!!!!!!!

-If you cut it here, I’m cursing you!!!!!!!!!!!!

-No, seriously lmaoooooooo

-If you cut it here it’s a crime, seriously lmaoooooooo

-Please don’t cut it, just tell us!!!!

-At least a hint!!!!!!!!!

-Right lmaoooo

-They basically showed almost all their cards, and I’m still hyped for what’s next!

-Right!!!!!!

As everyone freaked out,?Seong raised both hands like he got it, going “whoa, whoa” like he was calming them down.

And watching the viewers he’d calmed—

Seong smiled and said,

“Since you’re all like this, I’ll tell you.”

The chat speed noticeably slowed, like everyone was focusing.

And then—

“Part 2 is a match between the backup team leader and my vassals. Then I’ll see you in Part 2.”
