Chapter 214 – ULTIMATE ONE (4)

It was a reckless attack.

A senseless attempt that was actually close to just throwing his fist.

But its power was extraordinary.

A roar broke out.

But because it was a loud roar, they couldn’t properly perceive it.

A crack spread over the white force field barrier.

The spreading speed was so fast that it seemed like it had happened in an instant, and the sight of the force field shattering as light burst was truly fantastic.

Black Sun.

A light that covered everything.

And when that light disappeared, and everything that had been covered by that intense light was revealed again, and the immense devastation was also revealed.

A huge crater appeared as if a meteorite had fallen.

The ground was dug, cracks were spread on the ground, and there were no clouds left in the sky because they were driven away by the shockwaves.

And Jude and Gamorr Khan rolled over the floor.

Jude’s attack through Sword Origin was too strong, and Gamorr Khan’s defense using Grand Order was too solid.

The two were unable to withstand the tremendous force caused by the collision between the fist and the s.h.i.+eld, so they ended up being thrown into different directions.

Gamorr Khan was pushed more than a dozen meters as he partially dug the ground, while Jude was sprawled on the ground 20 meters away from the point of collision.

For a while, neither of them showed any reactions.

But at some point, both sides began to move.

“F*ck.”

Jude spoke like Cordelia.

He had a bitter smile and frowned from the pain.

His right arm hurt.

Because of his regenerative ability, he looked fine now, but it was a complete mess then right after the clash.

He could move it now.

He felt the pain. The sensation on his fingertips were back too.

“Ha.”

He forced himself to smile and clenched his fist.

Jude grit his teeth and soon put some strength into his right arm. He lifted himself up like a zombie and swallowed his breath. Raising his head, he captured the world with his green eyes.

He saw it.

Gamorr Khan was forcibly raising his body as his right arm drooped.

Just as how his side was in a mess, the other side also looked to be in a mess.

But there was a difference.

Gamorr Khan was also known as a monster among the Vorgs, but when it came to physical endurance, Jude was much more superior.

“Aaaaah!”

Gamorr Khan bellowed and lifted his right arm with his left hand. Judging from the appearance, he must have dislocated his shoulder.

His eyes were bloodshot. His breathing was rough and the muscles all over his body were swollen more than usual.

“You s.h.i.+tty b*stard.”

Gamorr Khan said.

Jude couldn’t hear it well, but he could roughly read the other’s lips.

Naturally, a wild boar’s head was quite different from humans, such as the shape of their lips, but curses were usually thrown in situations like this, so he could interpret the other’s words by supplementing it with his imagination.

Jude let out his breath. And he saw Gamorr Khan move his left hand again. The giant kite s.h.i.+eld split into two and was equipped in both his right and left arms.

‘The second form.’

The seven guilds of Sword Seeker that created the Ultimate Seven series all had the same origin.

Perhaps that was the reason why the seven swords had some things in common.

‘Three seals.’

The Ultimate Seven series had a power that lived up to its name.

Therefore, not everyone could handle its power.

And the craftsmen of Sword Seeker did not want a weak and unqualified person to use the Ultimate Seven series.

That was why it had seals.

So that only those who deserved the Ultimate Seven series, or at least those who could handle its power, could bring out the true power of the ultimate sword.

Seal.

As it name implied, the swords’ power and functions were all sealed.

Almost all of the ultimate swords at this time were in the form of ordinary swords.

Just like how the Key Sword was in the form of an ordinary sword.

And its first form was revealed when the first seal was removed.

Its basic form.

The ultimate swords at this time mostly had low hurdles.

Obviously, there were ultimate swords that were seriously particular of its user like Ultimate One and Ultimate Seven, but for the other five swords, someone at the level of a prospect who attended the Banquet of Swords could use them.

The first form of Grand Order was a kind of wrist blade with the blade attached to the pointed end of the kite s.h.i.+eld.

The second form went a little further from there.

It took a form that made it easier to defend by dividing the kite s.h.i.+eld vertically so that it could be equipped on both arms.

‘Of course, it has strayed further and further from a sword.’

Anyway, Gamorr Khan was a powerful man comparable to the Ten Great Swordmasters.

In fact, Jude’s evaluation wasn’t wrong since he had experienced fighting one of the strongest among the Ten Great Swordmasters, First Sword, and one of the weakest, the Lord Protector.

So Gamorr Khan who had revealed the second form of Grand Order seemed to be on par with the Lord Protector.

Jude took a deep breath. He tried to calm down his heart that was pounding from excitement, but he couldn’t erase the smile drawn on his mouth.

He proceeded.

Jude kicked the ground. This time, Gamorr Khan also charged at him head-on. It was a very aggressive charge like that of a wild boar.

And they collided into each other again.

But it was different from before.

It was a mixture of offense and defense this time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gamorr Khan attacked by swinging the Grand Order. Every time he attacked, the power carried in each strike was so strong that it let out terrifying shockwaves.

The basic way to fight was to slash and hack using the blade attached at the end of the s.h.i.+eld.

But it wouldn’t be called an ultimate sword with just that.

Gamorr Khan created a force field, and used that force field to turn his attack from a pointed one to a non-pointed one by using the surface of the force field.

He made the expression ‘an approaching wall’ into a reality.

Bang!

Grand Order and Sword Origin collided.

Jude was powered by the Black Sun and pushed back the blunt attack as he narrowed his distance from Gamorr Khan.

He struck his fist towards his opponent’s chest.

Boom!

The force field broke.

The white and transparent force field that started from the Grand Order attached to his arm and surrounded Gamorr Khan’s entire body was broken, and Gamorr Khan’s body slightly rose into the air.

And Jude turned his body. Gamorr Khan’s body that had slightly risen into the air was struck by Jude’s roundhouse kick, and it wasn’t just a simple attack but a crus.h.i.+ng blow.

Baaaaaang!

The force field he hastily created broke again. Gamorr Khan was injured on his chest, but as soon as he fell on the ground, he stood up again and attacked Jude.

Babababababang!

And a storm of attacks followed.

At first glance, it seemed like they were wildly attacking and exchanging heavy blows, but it was actually different.

Gamorr Khan had overwhelming physical abilities, but he lacked the skills to match it.

Jude was no longer afraid of being cut by the blade, so he blocked all his opponent’s attacks with his limbs one step ahead.

And Jude’s attacks would hit Gamorr Khan’s whole body.

But Gamorr Khan didn’t fall either. Because the force field surrounding Gamorr Khan would instantly be restored every time it broke from Jude’s attacks.

So Gamorr Khan was prevented from attacking.

Jude’s attack destroyed the force field and did not let Gamorr Khan deal a decisive blow at the same time.

In fact, this was one of the battle patterns Gamorr Khan used in order to win.

Because in the end, this was a battle of attrition, a fight that aimed to wear out the other side first.

‘But why!’

However, it was different this time.

They had exchanged dozens of attacks, but Jude’s movements didn’t slow down at all. His attack power also remained unchanged.

As if he had unlimited stamina.

‘I can move all day!’

Gamorr Khan couldn’t read Jude’s thoughts. Nor his attacks too.

Jude didn’t just deal heavy blows. He parried Gamorr Khan’s right hand attack with his left hand, before he instantly moved like a snake, and Gamorr Khan suddenly saw Jude’s back.

“Huh?”

The moment Gamorr Khan exclaimed, his body flew into the air. He couldn’t do anything as he fell to the ground.

Baaang!

The force field on his back broke. At the same time, he momentarily lost sight of Jude.

Gamorr Khan hurriedly stood up.

And right after sending Gamorr Khan to the ground, Jude stepped back and adjusted his breathing. He thought as he watched the other stand up.

A way to defeat Gamorr Khan.

He clenched his fist. On the other hand, Gamorr Khan turned around as soon as he got up and drew his fist.

Jude also pulled his fist.

He once again concentrated the energy of the Black Sun onto his right hand.

At that moment, Gamorr Khan sped up. He quickly tried to stop Jude from making his special attack.

His judgment was correct.

Jude failed to launch his special attack. So instead of doing that, he let out the concentrated energy as he punched with his fist.

He threw his right fist against Gamorr Khan’s fist which was like a landslide falling down on him.

Booooom!

Their fists clashed. The shockwave swept the surrounding area once again, and the fists of Jude and Gamorr Khan were not in good condition.

Jude’s right arm was broken. His bones fragmented into hundreds of pieces.

Gamorr Khan’s force field broke. Starting from his right arm, the force field surrounding his whole body was destroyed, and his right arm was bent at a bizarre angle.

And Jude aimed at that moment.

He stretched out his right hand and used Black Wind’s Advent instead of using Hyper-Fast Thunderbolt or Thunder G.o.d Invokes Lightning. He became a black wind and drew closer to Gamorr Khan as if he was a ghost.

His right arm was regenerating, but it was impossible to use it right now.

It was also difficult to use the energy of the Black Sun again with just a single strike. Both sides were running out of time.

Gamorr Khan knew it too.

That was why he was patient. He somehow tried to restore the force field in order to withstand Jude’s imperfect and incoming attack, and thought of counterattacking afterwards.

But Jude was thinking.

‘Cordelia.’

She’ll probably get angry.

She’ll swear and cry out to me for being stupid.

But it can’t be helped.

It’s something I wanted to do when I got Ultimate One.

It’s something I can do because I got Sword Origin now.

He clenched his left fist.

At the same time, he touched the device on his waist with his right hand that had slightly recovered. The scrolls loaded inside the device were instantly destroyed as the magic spell in them activated.

It wasn’t some grand magic.

It was a simple magic spell.

But it was somehow unusual.

Because it was not commonly used this way.

It was something that a human body couldn’t bear.

An extreme measure that he could use now that he became one with a sword.

‘ magic x10.’

The strength of a giant was applied to his left arm.

His left arm also began to tremble as if it would break at any moment.

Gamorr Khan instinctively understood the phenomenon before him. But Jude was too close for him to do anything. He had ran out of time.

Before Gamorr Khan could let out his voice, Jude’s left fist that had become like a giant’s fist as it was reinforced by 10 magic spells then struck Gamorr Khan’s chest!

Boooom!

Baaaaaang!

The force field he had built in a hurry was crushed. At the unimaginable power, around half of Gamorr Khan’s upper body exploded.

And it didn’t stop there. Gamorr Khan’s huge body couldn’t stand the power and was sent flying for some distance.

A shockwave swept around, and Gamorr Khan’s right arm, which had Grand Order, soared into the air amidst the explosion of his upper body, and fell to the ground with a thud.

“Haa.”

Jude drooped his bleeding left arm.

His arm hurt.

His arm crazily hurt.

His left arm felt like it would break soon, and all the body parts connected to his left arm, including his back, seemed to be screaming in pain.

Thus, Jude collapsed onto the ground in the end.

But in the meantime, he ended up smiling. He burst into a laugh while looking like a mess.

And Cordelia moved.

Gamorr Khan should have immediately died because half of his upper body was gone, but Cordelia jumped and attentively aimed at that gap, completely crus.h.i.+ng Gamorr Khan’s body with a barrage of magic missiles.

She approached the fallen man’s body and retrieved Gamorr Khan’s necklace which he had worn on his neck, removing the necklace with a purple gem that had an evil spirit inhabiting it.

“Keuaa-”

Gamorr Khan’s body let out its last breath and became an empty sh.e.l.l. Cordelia was surrounded by a ring of white light as she approached Jude who was still lying on the ground. She squatted next to Jude and looked down at him.

“Are you satisfied?”

“Yes, I’m completely satis- AAAAAH!”

Jude screamed instead of continuing his answer because Cordelia had gently poked his regenerating left arm, and she shook her head.

“What a fool.”

It would have been much easier if the two had fought together.

He didn’t have to fight like that and destroy his body.

But she knew at the same time.

He got a really nice item.

He also powered-up a lot with that, so he probably wanted to confront his opponent head-on instead of using tricks.

“My goodness.”

They said that all men are like kids.

Cordelia smirked as she cast a recovery magic to aid Jude’s regenerative ability.

Therefore, Jude felt more comfortable and he looked up at Cordelia and said.

“What do you think? Wasn’t I a bit cool?”

“Hey, you’re lying on the floor while covered in blood now, okay? Your face is completely distorted from pain too, okay?”

“But wasn’t I cool?”

Cordelia laughed at Jude’s question. She nodded her head as if she was being generous, and then said as she pinched the immobile Jude’s cheek.

“Yes, yes, you were cool. You’ll be in the gates of the netherworld if you kept being cool though.”

His cheeks were soft as if Sword Origin had been deactivated. Cordelia pulled Jude’s cheek a few more times and then pinched her own cheek before she said with a big smile.

“My cheeks are still better. It’s my win.”

“It must feel nice.”

“Yes, it feels nice. I really love it.”

Cordelia giggled before she sat down and raised Gamorr Khan’s golden necklace, saying as she held the purple gem.

“Hey, I completely know that you’re fine, okay?”

Because the true body of Gamorr Khan was an evil spirit inside the golden necklace.

“So don’t pretend to be dead. Talk to me, okay?”

Cordelia squeezed the purple gem one more time and a faint light soon began to appear from the necklace.

[How in the world…]

“Well, I just know everything.”

As Cordelia brightly smiled, Gamorr Khan spoke again.

[It’s no use if you’re thinking of breaking the necklace. I’ll just find a new place to live and move into. I’ll find a new host and get back at you two. So go ahead and break it. Go on and break it!]

“Oh, my. You scared me in order to get me to break your necklace, huh? Or are you asking me to not break it?”

As Cordelia teasingly spoke, the purple gem glowed again. An evil black energy rose on Cordelia’s fingers.

But she made her move.

Cordelia brightly smiled and turned into an angel, and Gamorr Khan screamed at the moment when her angelic light came out.

[Aaaaah! A-angel?! Why are you an angel!]

“Because she’s nice and pretty like an angel.”

Jude answered, and Cordelia blushed as she said.

“A-anyway! I’m an angel, okay? So just sleep well, okay?”

When her angelic power was injected into the purple gem, Gamorr Khan’s screams died down, and the purple gem also lost its light.

“Sealing success.”

If they kept him alive, he would be of some use.

After all, he was Malekith’s subordinate.

Cordelia kept the sealed necklace on her waist, and said as she pinched Jude’s cheek again.

“Hey, it will take some time before you completely recover, right?”

“Uh, probably?”

“Then I’ll continue playing with this.”

Because it was rare for Jude to be not able to move at all.

“H-hey. You’re an angel, right? Cordelia-nim?”

“Stay still, Mister black-hearted Black Cloak.”

Cordelia snickered before she suddenly clapped her hands and revealed a wicked smile.

She drew her face closer to the ear of Jude who was sweating in nervousness.

***

“Wow, the size really adjusted, huh?”

Cordelia equipped Ultimate Five, Grand Order, on her right arm, and she waved her arms up and down several times in her curiosity.

In the game, it was an item for warriors only, so it was a weapon that the wizard Cordelia could never equip.

“Hehehe, I’m so happy. We caught Gamorr Khan, got two Ultimate series, cleaned up Mount Damos for our residents, and Jude became cute.”

“Wait, what?”

Cordelia hummed and ignored the red-faced Jude’s protest, twirling around before she said.

“Anyway, shall we go back now?”

Not below Mount Damos but into Mount Damos itself.

“Yes, because we still need to farm some items.”

It was the home of the Black Horn Guild, so there must be other items to take besides Ultimate One.

“Yes, yes, let’s go quickly.”

Cordelia returned Grand Order to its stealth form and ran as she flapped her wings of light, while Jude ended up smiling.

He lightly touched his ear before he began to move.
