Chapter 400 Anger And Resentment

Conditional skills are special skills that are innate from the start. Either in humans or the creatures or some other race, like humans. The innate skills, which are sometimes conditional skills, are one of the rarest but at the same time, one of the most unique skills in practice.

Though their uses are diverse and can be used in different ways depending on the possessor's imagination, they are skills that are most extraordinary.

They are powerful skills from the start and if a skill stone contains one such innate skill of some creature, which would have been lost forever if not been in a skill stone found by someone on time.

Well, anyway...

[Stark triangle] is a skill that, though unexpectedly, I just found out laying on the ground.

'There was also a mess of corpse which looked a looooot gruesome than one can think, so let's not think about it.'

I once stumbled across a dead body of a creature that had gone through true berserk after getting corrupted but was not able to handle the madness of power.

It was a creature that resembled a bear or some big creature, but the messy body couldn't be recognized from the way it was.

But, well, I did find one skill stone just lying around in that dark forest, shining in the moonlight, almost calling my name. And, well, I could never refuse such an amazing gift.

This skill was also just too amazing to refuse.

A conditional skill that can almost grant the person the ability to 'teleport' the connected targets~!

And aside from the one having this ability, others wouldn't have any idea what had just happened.

Just like right now...

-Shazak!

The spirit was confused for a moment and when it looked back at the two of us, it couldn't fathom the current situation, so… it tried the physical attack again.

-Pam-sweeeeeee…

But this time too, as it appeared before me, I vanished from my place, or more like took evil spirit's place and it just punched the empty air once again.

'It's an amazing skill...'

There were three conditions to activate this skill and, though they were troublesome, it wasn't as difficult as Rein's skill.

All I needed were two people aside from me. One alley, and the other one an opponent who would be stronger than both of us.

The alley must have a deep faith in the caster of the skill and the caster had to have a deep understanding of the opponent they were fighting.

And... yeah. That much was it.

Then the three triangles which directly affect the positions of one being would be available and I just had to give this one to the opponent and alley.

I also had to have a precise grasp of both of their current locations, but that much was easy.

So...

-Shazak!

[< What is this, you bastard?! >]

It would be easy to damage the spirit for a while now. And this time, we had to deal with as much damage as possible.

It was a great skill and before easy opponents, it would be unusable as Rein and my actual combined strength already go beyond the combined strength of her lich and my warrior.

This skill is powerful and it can actually work on even creatures of the highest rank, but using it against a purple-rank creature would eat up too much of my concentration...

Anyway, this one was easy.

I can handle the pressure from this spirit, but still, it would work for only a short while, even if I can keep it up for longer.

'The evil spirit can learn during the fight so it will figure out what it has to do to avoid being hit by the skill. It is just that much strong that even both our strengths are low before it.'

Anyway...

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish!

-Shazak!

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish...

-Boooooooooom!

It was good that its amazing dark shield was crumbling down faster now that the attacks were actually hitting it.

And the white light from Don was even more helpful.

It was the actual opposite of the darkness attribute, so when it got into contact with its shield, it not just damaged the shield, it actually pierced it and sometimes even touched the evil spirit!

And it was super effective as the whole spiritual body of the spirit actually shook and pained.

I knew it must be agonizing and the expression on its face was all the things needed for us to know.

It was getting pushed back, but it still wasn't easy...

It was an evil spirit, a spiritual creature, and more than anything, it was a powerful foe with great wisdom.

As the fight progressed and it started getting pushed back, it mostly stopped caring about small things that it had already learned about us and left it to its sharp instincts.

…

The arrows with a simple, starlight trajectory were something that it can evade easily now. Her simple slashing attacks were also getting difficult to connect as time passed.

But we definitely did some damage to the spirit...

The shield skill it had was great, something that could create multiple shields around a designated target. And it can create more than one shield and all the shields will share the received damage from the opponents.

It was an amazing skill and something rare that one doesn't see in just any creature.

There were two shields. The first one around him and the second one, which was sturdier than his own, were protecting the two golden coffins in the middle of the room.

But as time passed, the shields were getting weaker and weaker.

The arrows with white light that the evil spirit failed to deflect or dodge pierced the shields and even sometimes damaged the spirit.

It was strange to see the spirit without its cynical laugh that we had heard throughout the long fight we had, but it was better.

Its laugh was something that also contained an essence of its cursing power and could probably increase our resource consumption rate.

-Clank! Clank!

-Swiiiiiiiiish~!

-Kha-chum!

The shield was getting damaged, and at the same time, the weapon like swords and spears that the evil spirit was controlling was getting better and better.

But one thing was true...

-Shazak!

In the air, as all three of us just floated with our skills, spells, and basic characteristics, the three of us were making an extraordinary canvas!

The evil spirit was getting angrier with each passing second and whenever its attacks came, its basic positions changed with either Rein or me.

-Swiiiiiish~!

-Swish. Swish. Swish.

-Slaaaaaaash!

-Shazak!

'Just think about it...'

A fast-paced fight between three people. The two of us and this evil spirit.

Three lights, pink, red, and dark purple, flying through the air like some lights with a will of their own... or some spiritual creatures playing tag.

-Clank! Boooooom! Swiiiiiish~!

Sounds of weapons collide with the hard surface of the shield multiple times, arrows flying through the air after missing the target, and strong physical attacks strong enough to create a gust of winds so strong that they can even throw away a strong giant creature. And most importantly...

-Shazak!

The strange sound signifying the changing of positions in this amazing fight~!

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

The evil spirit had a red face now. Its previous calm or laugh was nowhere to be seen.

I can say it was feeling it now for the earnest... the weakness.

Its own weakness against the two of us. Its weakness of underestimating the two of us. It's a weakness to not foresee the things we could do, and its weak thoughts of not being able to 'protect' it...

It was still a strong foe, though.

…

Most of the spells we were using were useless against it now. Including my highly complex ones. The simple attacks were mostly useless, so she had to use her special footwork to increase the attack power and speed. The arrows that I fired simply were also mostly blocked or dodged by it.

This evil spirit...

-Swiiiiiish!

It was improving with each passing second. And even though our attacks were passing through, the frequency of attacks connecting was going down...

And after some time things stayed like this, the three lights in the air continued colliding, and as the three spectators from our side watched it with wildly beating hearts, we continued pushing the evil spirit...

-Clank- boooooom!

-Swiiiiiish! Swiiiiiish!

-Klank-klank-klank!

[< Don't fuck with me, bastards!!! >]

Just until it used one of its unused cards.

[Red nightmare]. It was a mental illustration skill, and it showed the targets gruesome things like ****.

It was already frustrated by our onslaught, but it can't lose. I knew how it felt perfectly so I can tell it was not going to give up easily.

Even though its body was burning from the wounds of white light, it still persisted and continued attacking us with its curses, bone weapons, and random punches.

Its hatred toward us was increasing with each passing moment, but it endured the pain from the poisonous light attribute. It endured, endured, and all hatred was conveyed from the nightmare we saw from its skill…

[ In a world full of only red. Red sky and red, endless ocean, the evil spirit was torturing my Rein tied in the middle of this place.

It had a new wide smirk that went from its ear to ear as it cut her body multiple times, pulled out her nails, and broke down her fingers...

Rein screamed, cried, and begged for her life… something the real her would never do.

She had a fearful expression on her face. Something that I had never seen her make. Not at least so fearful that she cries and screams for help while just looking at me, who can't even move from his place.

The bastard then continues its fucked up torture, gouges out her beautiful eyes, burns her skin with acid-like dark curses, and then, after doing countless **** things, it drains out her soul energy. ]

That was something I saw, and I knew it actually didn't just end there. The fucking evil bastard continued to do things in different scenarios with a new 'Rein-like person'.

My mind was strong, so I came out of that illusion in just a moment. I knew they were illusions, so they weren't that effective on me. That wasn't actually my Rein. No illusion could recreate her amazing eyes. No fucking bastard could do anything to those eyes, even if they wanted to. In the first place, the things I saw in that fucking red world weren't something that will ever happen.

I know... it won't.

I came out of that illusion in just a moment, even though a long time had passed in that red world. But that small moment was enough for the bastard evil spirit too...

[< KHAHAHAHAHA! >]

-SLAM-DUNK!

-Booooooooooom!

The moment my eyes opened, I saw three things.

A laughing crazy evil spirit. My Rein who was just blankly staring into the air with a red light in her eyes. And a bright ceiling with countless light stones.

And the very next moment, the evil spirit was before me, its eyes saying that 'even if I do not get the chance to do much, I will at least punch that crappy face of yours!'. And it did punch me with its tremendous strength and threw me on the ground...

Thankfully, I activated my barrier skill and wasn't much hurt, but his strength was actually so great that my shield skill that could even endure (tier-6) spells was shattered into small particles.

It was a great pure physical force but thankfully I was only coughing up blood after that, but the bastard who did this to me...

"You mother @#$$#@@#$!!" Rein shouted with her face red with anger and eyes filled with tears of resentment.

She also only stayed in that illusion for a moment more than me, but by the time she was out, I was on the ground, coughing up blood.

And when she saw me like that just after coming out of that horrible illusion, the way her eyes were filled with blood and her killing intent... I knew the battle that was just going on one-sidedly would enter its last stage.

And the start of that all...

(+Blessing of water), (+Dark enhanced shield), (+Essence of darkness), (+Frost steps), (+Greater energy enhancement), (+High physical resistance)

Enhancement series personal spells, and all of them were the highest grade spells of (tier-3) which would easily be considered above their level. And how she cast those spells on her own was the reason she was so amazing...

But she didn't just stop there. The anger in her eyes as she appeared before the evil spirit was greater than I had ever seen.

She raised her Aura-covered scythe with both hands and swung it at the flabbergasted evil spirit like it was some ball she was hitting with her bat…!

And the way this ball, the evil spirit with its darkness barriers, was thrown to the very other side of the room was... reminiscent of seeing the best hits of history.
