New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on 𝓯𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Siegfried struggled against the physical damage resistance of the Chaos Guardians.

‘I should’ve enhanced my weapon or waited a bit before selling my Gaia’s Fist! Kuheok!’

An enhanced weapon was the best way to deal with opponents with physical damage resistance as the weapon dealt extra damage against such targets the higher its enhancement level was.

But what could he do about it?

Horse Fly was not enhanced at all, and he had already sold his +15 Gaia’s Fist.

It was a given he would struggle against the Chaos Guardians, but it did not mean that he could sit around and do nothing.

‘If they’re immune to physical damage, then...’

Horse Fly started emitting a bright red glow. Siegfried was able to control fire, water, lightning, and darkness attributes through his Attribute Absorption skill.

If the enemy was resistant to physical damage, then he just had to deal magic damage from now on, right? Siegfried used the Elemental Shower debuff on the Chaos Guardians to shred their magic resistance.

Bam! Bam!

Horse Fly was now armed with fire attributes as it struck the Chaos Guardians.

It was really effective.

[Chaos Guardian]

[HP: ??????????]

The Chaos Guardian lost ten percent of its HP. It had high resistance to physical damage, but its magic resistance wasn't that high.

‘Alright!’

Siegfried didn't stop there.

Seuuu...!

He activated Irradiate to spread radioactive energy in his immediate vicinity.

[Chaos Guardian]

[HP: ??????????]

Irradiate gnawed away at the Chaos Guardians’ HP. The Chaos Guardian possessed poison resistance, but Irradiate was still powerful enough to deal some damage against them.

‘Subdue them!’

The shadows underneath the Chaos Guardians rose up and clung to them as soon as Siegfried gave the command, and he went around swinging Horse Fly while channeling fire attribute mana into it.

Thud! Thud!

The Chaos Guardians fell one by one.

This was the reason Siegfried was truly scary.

He had the skills to cope with whatever predicament he was in.

If his opponent chose scissors, then he could choose rock; if they chose rock, then he could choose paper; if they chose paper, then he could choose scissors.[1]

On top of that, Siegfried was extremely cunning and clever. freewebno vel.com

Bam!

He turned Horse Fly into a shield and shoved the nearest Chaos Guardian back.

Whoosh!

The Chaos Guardian flew quite a distance away. It wasn't that effective if he only flew back since he didn't sustain much damage, but the problem was that he was still flying, even though he had been flying for quite a while now.

Siegfried shoved the Chaos Guardian off the edge of the rooftop, and the Chaos Guardian crashed from a height of two thousand meters above ground.

So what if the enemies were hard to kill?

The method didn't matter so long as they would die!

Siegfried made full use of the terrain, and his strategy was super effective.

[Alert: You have obtained Experience Points!]

[Alert: You have obtained Experience Points!]

[Alert: You have obtained Experience Points!]

[Alert: You have obtained Experience Points!]

A message would pop up in front of his eyes a few seconds after he had shoved a Chaos Guardian off the rooftop.

His actions shocked the leader of the Chaos Guardians, Chaos Executor Ulcera.

“That's crazy...” Ulcera grimaced and muttered. He thought Siegfried was some lucky brat who had somehow become a king and was now doing whatever he wanted, but Siegfried turned out to be extremely cunning.

‘He needs to die,’ Ulcera had no plans of letting Siegfried continue doing what he wanted, and he decided to join the battle.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late.

It was at that moment he was about to join the battle that...

Flash!

A bright white light erupted.

***

‘What was that?!’ Ulcera ended up closing his eyes due to the white light. The light was so blinding that he had no choice but to close his eyes.

‘What in the world happened just—‘ He opened his eyes to check what happened, but he froze.

‘Why are they standing still...?’

The first thing he saw was the Chaos Guardians standing still as if time had frozen for them.

“What are you doing, you bastards?! Hurry up and—“ he screamed but suddenly flinched. He sensed a faint trail of sinister chilling mana emitting around them, and the chill enveloped his body before sending a chill down his spine.

It felt like he was standing naked in the middle of a blizzard.

‘Don’t tell me... Did he freeze all of them?’ Ulcera finally realized what was going on after seeing the white field just one meter ahead of him. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“What in the world is this—“

“Just wait right there, okay? I have to deal with these guys first,” Siegfried interrupted him before swinging Horse Fly, which was blazing red right now and smashing the heads of the Chaos Guardians one by one.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The Chaos Guardians were smashed into pieces as if they were marble statues.

A few seconds passed...

“I’m done!”

All of the Chaos Guardians were dead. Siegfried managed to kill all of them despite their resistance. Anyone witness to the feat he had just achieved would find the scene incredulous to behold.

“Surprising...” Ulcera muttered in awe before he looked at Siegfried and said, “I didn’t expect you to be this strong.”

“Hehe! Thank you for the compliment!” Siegfried replied with a stupid grin. Getting complimented by your enemy felt way better than being complimented by your allies, right?

“You like it?”

“I love it!”

“Enjoy it while you can, as that will be your last,” Ulcera said with a sinister smile. He pulled out his sword and said, “You have thwarted our church’s plans again and again.”

“Yup! That’s me!”

“Allow me to show you the true power of our church,” Ulcera said as he took a stance with his sword.

Siegfried flashed a confident grin this time and shouted, “Bring it on!”

***

Siegfried was acting aloof, but he was actually nervous inside.

[Abilities: Physical Damage Resistance A, Magic Resistance C, Poison Resistance, Status Ailment Resistance]

Ulcera possessed higher physical damage resistance than the Chaos Guardians, and he even possessed C-rank magic resistance and resistance to status ailments.

‘This is going to be difficult...’ Siegfried expected the fight was not going to be easy as he walked toward his opponent with Horse Fly in his hand.

Kwachik!

“I shall grant you a quick death,” Ulcera said before he kicked off the ground.

Boooom!

A powerful shockwave burst out the moment Ulcera’s sword and Horse Fly clashed.

‘Huh...?’ Siegfried was perplexed after he was pushed back by the ridiculous power behind Ulcera's sword, and he was easily the most powerful opponent he clashed against in terms of strength.

Siegfried twisted and redirected the enemy’s strength back at him.

Pukeok!

He hit the side of Ulcera’s head, and a booming sound emitted as Ulcera’s head was shoved back from the impact.

‘Now’s my chance!’ Siegfried seized the opening. He infused fire attribute mana into Horse Fly and used Machine Gun Smash.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

He slammed Horse Fly into Ulcera’s head dozens of times in the blink of an eye, and he poured everything behind every attack that he had to catch his breath after he was done attacking.

‘That should’ve dealt a lot of damage...’ He checked his opponent’s HP bar, expecting a significant chunk of it to be missing, but...

[Chaos Executor Ulcera]

[HP: ??????????]

“Just ten percent?!” He was so shocked he ended up blurting out what he was thinking.

“Are you done?” Ulcera asked. He grabbed his head tilted sideways and snapped it back into place.

Crack! Crack!

“What the hell is this monster...?” Siegfried muttered in disbelief.

He didn't expect that someone in human form could display such tenacity that was closer to that of a monster than a human.

“Die,” Ulcera said as he swung his sword.

The sword swing signaled the restart of the battle, but the battle flowed in quite a peculiar manner.

Ulcera was the one driving his opponent into a corner, but it was Siegfried who managed to land more hits. Siegfried’s control was so superb that he was able to land ten strikes every time he was hit, but those single hits from Ulcera started to add up.

[Siegfried van Proa]

[HP: ??????????]

He had lost half of his HP and was now in a tight spot as Ulcera was in a completely different league compared to the Chaos Guardians.

’If only my level were a bit higher...’ Siegfried bit his lips and lamented his low level.

Why?

Deus was a transcended perfectionist, so there was no way he would not have considered opponents resistant to physical damage. The only reason Siegfried didn't have any concrete solution right now was due to his low level.

In the first place, it was absurd of him, who was Level 243, to expect to easily defeat Ulcera, who was Level 270.

‘I guess I need something big...’ Siegfried decided he needed to settle this with a bang.

The only way he could overcome the gap between them was by using his ultimate skills, such as Torrential Flower Rain or Touch of Death.

Puuuk!

Ulcera’s sword appeared out of nowhere and stabbed Siegfried in his back while he was distracted.

A critical hit!

The attack looked quite unrefined, but it did not matter as it was extremely effective.

“Kuheok!” Siegfried gasped in agony and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Ulcera leaned forward and whispered in his ears, “Did you really think the church couldn’t deal with a nobody like you?”

“Argh...!”

“Disposing someone like you and burning your kingdom down is not that hard for the church.”

“Kuheok... Argh...!”

“Did you really think you could—“

Shwik!

Ulcera shoved the sword deeper into Siegfried’s back and twisted it.

Shwik!

“Aaaaack!”

“Keep doing what you want?! Did you really think that you're invincible?!”

“Kuheok!” Siegfried coughed up blood once again, and a flurry of messages popped up in front of his eyes.

[Alert: Status Ailment!]

[Alert: Your character is afflicted with Bleeding!]

[Alert: Your HP is going down fast!]

[Alert: You will lose consciousness in thirty seconds due to massive blood loss!]

[Alert: 29...]

[Alert: 28...]

Siegfried’s vision started to become blurry due to Bleeding's effects.

‘I need... I need a solution... There must be one...’

He racked his brain as his vision turned gray.

‘I need to recover my HP...’

While he was busy trying to come up with a solution...

Clack! Clack! Clack!

The followers that were setting up the Dimensional Communication Device-002 came into his view.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

They were engrossed in their work and did not seem to be concerned about the battle unfolding right beside them.

‘That’s it!’ Siegfried exclaimed inwardly.

Siegfried elbowed Ulcera, who was busy whispering nonsense in his ears, in the face and twisted away.

Chwaaak!

The sword was pulled out from his back and...

Psshwaaaa!

A fountain of blood spurted from his back.

[Alert: Warning! Warning!]

[Alert: Your character is seriously bleeding!]

[Alert: You will lose consciousness in ten seconds!]

[Alert: 9...!]

[Alert: 8...!]

He lost a massive amount of blood when the sword was pulled out.

“You damned bastard!” Ulcera roared in anger while grasping his face.

‘I need to move...!’ Siegfried desperately told himself as he recklessly jumped toward the Dimensional Communication Device-002.

1. This comparison left me baffled, but author-nim is trying to say he could use all three: rock, paper, and scissors. ?
