The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 174 - Final Result
...South of Tortuga Port...
...The Mid-Sea...
I tried using the [Water Manipulation] skill a few times. Although, it only ended in quite an embarrassing failure. Not only did it consume my entire Mana Point, the skill was also very difficult to control. I feel that training to get used to is still necessary.
Therefore, I immediately stored the skill and focused on fighting as usual.
My fight with Angie continued to run fiercely for over 1 hour. Although Angie has now surpassed me due to her speed of movement and adaptation, my original goals have been met.
‘Thank God everything is fine.’ I said as I glanced at Leviathan's body which had now been completely within the sea. His HP bar had also reached a very safe level of 73%.
But nevertheless….
‘Zraatt!! Zraatt!!’
Angie started attacking me more aggressively. It was all because He had decided not to think about the existence of Leviathan and focus on attacking me.
“Eric! I'm gonna kill you! I will definitely kill you!!” Shouted Angie with all her might while continuing to swing her spear.
“Don't say something as scary as Angie! Unbecoming...”.
“Shut! I don't want to hear anything from the mouth of someone who stole my prey! You know how hard it is for us to finish him off?!” Angie yelled annoyedly cutting my words.
At the height of that anger, Angie makes her biggest mistake. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it my greatest golden opportunity. He seemed silent in the air and prepared to throw his spear.
Angie's position is above me, while I'm below her. In other words, I'm closer to sea level than Angie.
‘Chance! Extermination Ray!’ I cried out inwardly as I immediately directed my Oracle Staff towards him. At the end of my wand, there were already 3 pieces of red amplification magic circles that I had prepared since before.
A white magic circle appeared at the end of my wand. Followed by round 3 of the red magic circle very quickly.
‘4 seconds only…. If he stays there for 4 seconds then I will win!’ I thought in my heart.
Without realizing it, Angie thought the same thing about me.
‘3 seconds…. If that damn guy stays still for 3 seconds then.’.
Although I felt that this was a golden opportunity to defeat her, I became a little hesitant after seeing the description of the skill that Angie was going to use. I was able to see it with the Clairvoyant skill of my Oracle Staff.
[Earth Piercing Spear]
[Rarity : Legendary]
Mana Consumption: 350,000
Stamina Consumption: 120,000
Effect: Gathering all the swordsman energy at the tip of the spear to penetrate even the entire earth. Deliver damage of 1,200 – 24,000% total Attack Power users who ignore 33% Defense target.
The amount of damage is based on how long the user collects energy at the cutting edge. Ranging from 1,200% with 1 second of energy gathering to 24,000% with 60 seconds of energy gathering. The greater the energy collected, the greater the user load.
‘Sialan...’ I cried out in my heart after skimming the skill Angie was using.
These 4 seconds felt so long. It's all because I don't know when Angie's gonna throw her spear. And vice versa.
I keep my eyes wide open. All of that to be ready whenever Angie throws her spear at me underneath.
1 second….
2 seconds….
de 3….
‘ZRAAAATTTTT!!’
‘WUOOOSSSHH!!’
A very strong air pressure blew away everything in the middle of this ocean. Angie had thrown her spear with all her might. That golden light and lightning struck all over the place.
But right before the spear pierced me….
‘SHUOOOOSSSHH!!!’
A very bright and large white light beam that had hit Angie's body first. It was only natural that the speed of light that was able to melt everything was much faster than Angie's spear throw.
[You have dealt 147,123 damage!]
[You have given …. ]
[Targets been …. ]
But before I could read the whole system notification….
The spear that was supposed to melt and vanish along with Angie, seemed to pierce through all the heat from my Extermination Ray.
‘ZRAASSSHHH!!’
The spear pierced through my chest very quickly and gave a huge hole in my body.
[You have received an attack at a vital point!]
[You have received 4,138,649 damage!]
[You have received additional damage that ignores Defense of 682,964 damage!]
[You are dead!]
Even though I was prepared for his attack, I did not expect that the damage generated would be this big.
‘Damn it! Isn't the additional damage enough to kill me?!’ My screams were full of annoyance and surprise.
[Prepare to forcibly Log Out!]
As if not wanting me to die quietly, an additional notification immediately appeared before me.
A notification….
That will change the view of players around the world on actual power.
[The Spear Throw of the Legendary Spear Swordsman has hollowed the earth!]
[Goddess protector and guardian of the earth, Gaia, has intervened to stop this destruction!]
[The entire damage from the spear throw is being repaired!]
‘What the hell is this?!’
I also dared myself to take a little glance at what was happening in this ocean.
But it was a very bad decision.
What I saw….
It was only a proof that the difference in strength between a Legendary Spear Swordsman and an ordinary mage was very far away.
What's behind my body, is a monster hole. A vault that pierced the earth somehow to how deep. In the hole, it was clear that all the water was entering very strongly into it.
‘Angie…. This power...’.
Before I could finish my words inwardly, the system had forced me to log out.
But I'm happy enough. Because before that, I had seen the notification I was expecting.
[Player: Angie is dead!]
...***...
...In the real world...
...Shortly after the fight between Eric and Angie...
[An attack capable of perforating the earth?! Who can do that?!]
All the news media that talked about Re:Life were horrendous about it. It was only natural for the same notification to appear before all players back then.
“If you don't believe me, take a look at my screenshot of that system notification! The notification is included in [World Notification] which provides information to everyone there!” Shouted one of the novice MeTuber while showing a screenshot of that notification.
[The Spear Throw of the Legendary Spear Swordsman has hollowed the earth!]
[Goddess protector and guardian of the earth, Gaia, has intervened to stop this destruction!]
[The entire damage from the spear throw is being repaired!]
“Who exactly is this spear swordsman?!” Ask the MeTuber.
On the other side….
“What did you say Nico?!” Ask one of the hosts.
“I told you, I happen to be looking to cover a Player called the Great Witch in the Farna Kingdom area. It is located in the port of Tortuga. But I was very lucky to see that incredible fight in person.
I even recorded it! But unfortunately, I was very late because I came after entering the final round of the fight.” Obviously Nico while playing the video of the fight.
“Then do you know the true figure of the legendary spear swordsman?” Ask the host again.
“I don't know. But I firmly believe that the opponent is a Player called the Great Witch named Eric. It was all based on information from the soldiers I questioned. Reportedly Eric is protecting the port from the attack Sea Serpent.” Obviously Nico while showing one of Eric's photos in the game world with another Player.
At that moment, Eric's name began to soar. In a positive direction, of course.
