CH 224

“Are you using an invisible weapon?”

Of course, Transcendent Weapons were not necessarily conspicuous, like swords or staffs. Transcendent Weapons could be something as small as a ring, or it could be an intangible thing with no form at all.

“I’m not using anything you dunces… it’s just that your skills are lacking… what kind of nonsense are you talking about… man, the more I think about this situation… the angrier I’m getting! You all were so careful and scared of confronting Jenica, but why are you all underestimating me!! Do you all want to die?”

Regrants shouted out loud. Cronos, who was widely regarded as the most formidable 1v1 transcendent being, and the Demonic Dragon of the Apocalypse had teamed up to contend against Jenica, but as for Regrants, he was only being met by 4 transcendent War Dragon commanders, albeit commanders who were in the top ten within the War Dragons.

“That’s because you’re weaker than Jenica, the Empress of Magic…”

“Ah! Cry out, Sky Fist!”

Flash!

A burst of light flashed. In the blink of an eye, a blow so fast, even transcendents who recognized a moment of time as an eternity would not properly recognize the strike, struck the bodies of the four giant dragons.

The Sky Fist strike didn’t teleport through space like a Heart Sword attack, nor did it explode on a designated target like a curse; the Sky Fist strike’s quick and strong destructive power simply shattered all the dragons’ defensive barriers and connected onto the dragons’ bodies as it moved in a direct, straight line.

Boom! Bam!

Accompanied by a roaring sound that seemed to upend the heavens and earth, the giant dragons, from 150 to 300 meters long, fell several kilometers from the sky.

“Ugh! H-how? What happened?”

Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.

“How was he able to pierce through our light draconic armor…!”

“What was that? I couldn’t even recognize the attack?”

“Physical damage… a 5% loss…”

Everyone looked up at Regrants in astonishment. If Regrants launched a follow up attack at this time, he’d be able to fatally injure the dragons, but Sky Fist was an advanced skill that wasn’t easy to pull off, even for Regrants, so Regrants floated midair for a while to catch his breath. He was settling down his inner qi, which had momentarily fluctuated within him like a roaring storm.

And right at that moment, in that short gap, an attack was launched by the users.

“Huh?!”

A superheated ray of light hit Regrant’s body. Right after using the Sky Fist, Regrants, who was completely unaware of the surprise attack, countered the users’ attack with a self-defense technique rather than strong qi.

Boom!

Immediately after Regrants was hit by the superheated ray of light, a flying shuttle crashed into his body. Merlin crashed his gigantic flying shuttle, which was 1.5 kilometers long, 250 meters tall, weighed tens of thousands of tons, and was moving at supersonic speeds, onto Regrant’s body.

It was a truly stupendous sight, something one would expect to see in a disaster movie. However, Regrants, the Emperor of Martial Arts, wasn’t called an Emperor without reason. Among the vast cosmos and the hundreds and thousands of martial art transcendent beings residing in the universe, there was only one being officially recognized as the Emperor.

Crack!

When Regrants snapped his right arm up like a whip, the front part of Vimana, which was so huge that it could cover most city centers, shattered and flew into the air. The energy generated from the collision between Vimana, which was protected with multiple layers of defensive barriers, and Regrants was so powerful that the dimension became distorted.

“He blocked it! Oh my god…!!”

“This is crazy, no?! Does this even make sense!!”

The Masters, who had arrived on the ground after being mass teleported by Merlin’s teleportation spell, screamed at the unexpected sight. Of course, they knew that their opponent was strong, but they never imagined that he was this strong.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a single ray of light cut through space and approached Regrants, who was currently adjusting his posture.

That one line, sharp enough to cut through the heavens and the earth, was the swordsmanship skill that Arthur had honed, the Bursting Sword Light, Five Principles, One Burst. However, using his left arm, Regrants easily blocked the attack. Arthur’s sword qi of light attack, which was supposed to be able to cut through everything in the world, was blocked with a single gesture of Regrant’s hand.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The users continued their successive attacks. With the understanding that it was now or never, Merlin launched another attack. Three bolts of lightning fell from the sky. It was one of Merlin’s Howling spells, the Lightning Blade of Zeus, which was the strongest Howling spell that could be used against a single target.

Merlin used up all the spells stored in his Divine Weapon, Olympos, as well as using two of his cherished topaz-gem Howling spells to launch the strongest attack he could muster.

Boom!

However, even those spells were unable to deliver a proper blow on Regrants. The effect of all those attacks was a slight tanning of Regrant’s skin and some charred frays of hair atop his head.

“Final Crescent!!”

“Pentagram! I summon you, Furfur! Drop a thunderbolt and burn the enemy!”

“Eight Ways of Fighting… Earthly Thunder Strike!!”

“Activate Master Skill!”

“Activate Master Skill…”

An all-out attack by the users was being carried out. Using Master Skills and Master Weapons, the users poured out all the firepower that they could muster.

“Ah, really! I was ignoring you guys because you kept coming back to life. Why are you all so bothersome!!”

However, despite being hit by the users’ attacks, Regrants was unharmed. Rather, he was making an angered expression.

“This is our last chance! Go all out! Thousand Scents, why are you standing around doing nothing?!”

When Cruze fired a pulse gun and shouted, the four transcendents also attacked with all their might. As expected, the combination of ultimate spells and strong qi-gong attacks was tremendous, so Regrants instantly fell into the defensive, but he still shouted out with a confident attitude.

“Gaga go! Gaga go! GaoGaiGar!!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

For a moment, despite the intense situation, the users hesitated.

“Did he finally lose his marbles…”

“Has he gone mad?”

The users were bewildered by Regrants’ gibberish, but funnily enough, there was a being who responded to his words.

[Hahaha! Take off!]

Whirl! Clank! Clunk!

Something translucent seemed to float in the air, and then a huge ironclad armor appeared and covered Regrants’ body in a flash.

“Ack! No! It’s his Transcendent Weapon, GaoGaiGar!” one of the transcendent dragons shouted.

“How did it break through the dimensional barrier?”

“I made sure the dimensional defense barrier was properly operating…!”

The users were taken aback by the alarmed four dragon transcendents, who were groaning and bickering amongst themselves.

“W-what the hell? That’s really the name of his Transcendent Weapon?”

“Hey, even the design looks the same as the one in the anime. Isn’t this plagiarism?”

“We’re all fighting for our lives… so why is there some stupid comic relief all of a sudden…”

However, as if he didn’t care about the users’ confusion and dissatisfaction, Regrants, who covered his whole body with an ironclad armor and made him look like a figure from a popular anime, raised his right hand.

“This was fun, but… it ends here.”

[Launching! Broken Magnum!]

Accompanied by an unknown man’s shout, a formidable power began to gather in Regrant’s right arm. Seeing his frightened enemies trying to defend themselves against his oncoming attack, Regrants shouted.

“On top of Broken Magnum… cry out, Sky Fist!”

Regrants activated his ultimate move. It was a martial arts ultimate move and represented the pinnacle of his enlightenment and understanding of the martial arts. Sky Fist was a terrifying skill on its own, but when added to Broken Magnum, the combined attack, called Iron Fist, struck an enemy with a speed exceeding twenty-five times that of light.

Even though it was possible for transcendents to accelerate their own time and recognize any attack, it was impossible to recognize an Iron Fist attack. The Iron Fist was sent out at such a phenomenal speed that it was even difficult for divine beings to perceive and avoid the attack, especially if it was launched from close range. The Iron Fist strike was so fast that even light photons couldn’t catch up to it.

“Master Skill, Last Spell.”

However, Arc jumped in front of Regrants, who was just about to send out his transcendent attack. As always, Arc’s entire body was covered in leather armor. Even her eyes were shrouded from view. In both hands, she held her Master Weapon, Sky Heaven.

Woong!

Regrants ignored Arc and continued to launch his Iron Fist attack. From the start, the users weren’t his main target. The target of his Iron Fist was the four Grand Masters. At this distance, the four Grand Masters would be annihilated just from his Iron Fist’s shockwave.

Crack!

And that moment, Arc’s fist struck the air. At the same time, countless cracks formed in the air, like a glass window’s spider web-like cracking after being hit by a stone.

“What?”

Regrants was genuinely perplexed. A user, who had not even reached the transcendent level, caused a dimension collapse with one punch?

Arc also seemed taken aback.

‘… How?’

The cracked dimension gradually collapsed and tore apart. Of course, this phenomenon was not her intention.

It was true that the spell she had chanted from the beginning of the battle until now was a disintegration spell, but the only thing she could do was disintegrate matter. Even if she borrowed the power of her Master Skill and Master Weapon, dimensional collapse was beyond her ability level.

In other words, this result was an accident.
