BXBX NOVEL Chapter 45: SSR Weapon (2)
Silvery liquid dripped from Maxien\'s hand. The droplets scattered and vanished in mid-air.
She tasted a drop of the silver blood with her tongue.
"High-purity Ether? No, it seems a bit different..."
A faint trace of interest flickered across her face.
It was when she was returning to the defense planet after clearing the Kaijus outside the Barrier. After detecting an anomalous Astral Signal nearby, she headed straight there. Upon arrival, a 4-meter tall humanoid entity with red hair had appeared in space.
"A new type of Numbered Entity?"
It was a Kaiju that seemed to want to communicate, in a rather deranged sort of way.
If the troublesome types among mass-produced generic Kaijus were called ‘Named Types’, then’"Numbered Entities’ could be considered a higher class of evolved Kaijus.Higher-level Kaijus possessing independence and uniqueness.
Their sizes ranged from human-sized subminiatures to planet-sized giants, making them difficult to gauge.
And some are unnervingly human-like.
Since Numbered Entities came in all shapes and forms, it wasn’t all that big of a surprise for one to look exactly like a human. It also seemed to emit the peculiar waves characteristic of Kaijus.
Of course, that red-haired one from earlier was subtly different. It felt somewhat weak to be called a Numbered Entity.
Hmm. If it had survived longer, could it have received a four-digit number?
It was naturally gifted in the art of escaping.
I hope I can see it again...
At some point in time, silvery blood had started swirling around her like a vast river.
Almost as if all the blood had been extracted from the entire body of something massive.
She called the cleanup crew on the ship and ordered them to collect the silver liquid.
"Keuaaahk!"
C-Crazy bitch!
Kriella trembled with fear.
"I-If I had been just a little slower...!"
Goosebumps raised on her skin. She was truly a terrifying madwoman.
The eyes of the woman who had suddenly swung her sword were filled with intense insanity. In addition to that inexplicable madness, her gleaming eyes, which looked at Kriella as if she were an inanimate object, were filled with curiosity.
How to put it? Wasn’t it a bit like a child playing with an insect?
The moment Kriella first met her gaze, she felt a deep sense of displeasure.
How dare she not know her place...!
But even that only lasted for a moment
A sharp flash pierced through her. She tried to shout that such a crude attack would be useless, but...
"KEUAAAAH!!"
A large amount of silver blood flowed from her pierced abdomen.
The moment the flash touched her, she sensed something was wrong. She quickly realized that this extraordinary attack could damage even her Divinity.
Kriella hastily summoned her Divine Power. Silver flames enveloped her body.
However.
Slash- Slash- Slash-
She couldn\'t believe the sight of her own flesh being mercilessly cut apart. In the end, she had no choice but to start enlarging herself, accepting the loss of Divine Power.
Her slashed and split flesh recovered instantly, and her entire body grew endlessly. The Divine Power that had been confined in her small body burst out explosively, exuding a terrifying pressure around her.
[O’ insignificant mortal.]
The giant Kriella, surrounded by silver flames, truly looked like a god.
Power surged through her entire body. A power deep enough to turn a mere mortal to dust just by meeting her gaze.
Ah, ah...
Yes, this was the feeling.
The sensation of overlooking the world and holding the fate of insignificant beings in her grasp. It felt as if the power to split the heavens and earth, to destroy the world, was erupting from within her body.
[Fear me. And revere me.]
She didn\'t know why that woman was in the vast realm of the void, instead of planted onto the ground.
[Die.]
But why would she need to know the circumstances of an insignificant being?
Her giant hand, carrying her will, swept through space. It should have been impossible to avoid.
[Hm?]
Was she mistaken? For a moment, she thought she saw the corners of the woman\'s mouth curled up gently...
[KEUAAAAAAH!!]
An unbelievable, terrible scream echoed from the giant body. Twelve flashes of light were tearing through her body, cutting it apart mercilessly as if slicing tofu.
At that moment, she concluded her judgment.
This... is not an existence I can face!
The moment she realized it was not the time to assert her pride, she immediately abandoned her enlarged body and separated only her soul to escape.
If the starlight-haired woman hadn\'t been treating her like an experiment, adjusting the power of her attacks moderately, even that might not have been easy.
"Huh? Are you running away?"
Though she couldn\'t understand the language at all, she had no choice but to abandon most of the Divinity residing in her physical body, inwardly grinding her teeth.
She immediately opened a dimensional rift and threw herself in.
Slash-
[Keuk! This vicious wench!]
Even in that moment when only her soul was escaping, the woman\'s attack grazed her, causing severe damage.
Is it those bastards from 《Chaos》? No, maybe it’s the 《Trichiliocosm》?
No matter how she thought about it, the situation was not good at all.
Her mind raced with complicated thoughts.
But what did that matter now?
Having lost most of her power, she was about to drift through an unknown dimension!
Ah...
She remembered how her companion used to criticize her, saying, ‘Your impatience will bring great trouble someday’.
However, what’s the use of regretting what\'s already done?
After finding a suitable dimension and gathering strength...!
At that moment, her eyes caught sight of the interface of a certain dimension.
It seemed slightly damaged and loose, as if she could somehow break through with her remaining strength.
[Just you wait!]
Right when Kriella barely managed to open a gap in the interface by gathering her remaining strength…
A red sword light flew towards her.
[KKEUAAAAAAAHK!!!]
Namgung Jin spent nearly an hour calling out for someone who he wasn’t even sure were ancient or just deceased, before realizing it was an illusion.
It wasn\'t some hidden Master. It wasn\'t a virtuous swordsman from the Orthodox Faction passing by to help him. It wasn\'t even the deities of heavens and earth coming to his aid.
It wasn\'t anyone\'s help… It was solely due to…
Is it... really just because of this sword?
The dagger obtained from the Administrator\'s special Store. While unique in appearance, no matter how he looked at it, it was still just a dagger.
His hand trembled slightly. He had already finished some simple experiments.
When he lightly swung the sword, it cut through everything in its path regardless of terrain. When he thrust the dagger, it pierced a hole in the center of a rock 10 zhang (1 zhang = 3.03m) away.
Wh-What?
"..."
Namgung Jin stared down at the dagger, dumbfounded. This time, he enhanced his eyesight and hearing with Inner Qi and swung it again.
Sliceeee-
He seemed to hear a clean slicing sound as if the air itself was being cut.
But even with enhanced vision, he couldn\'t see it properly.
I-Is this even possible?
Sword Qi? Sword Force? Or was this perhaps what the Mind Sword would be like?
Moreover, what is this unbelievable cutting power?
Then he realized something and immediately accessed the [Premium Store] of the [Integrated Dimensional Community].
As expected, black shadows were gathered around her at a certain distance, murmuring amongst themselves.
He called out to her without realizing it.
"Y-Young Lady! Could you please tell me how to use this dagger I received from you?"
Fortunately, she seemed to hear him. While proceeding with other people\'s [Draws], she turned her head towards him, smiled, and waved her hand lightly.
When she did so, golden letters appeared before his eyes.
[Vibroblade (SSR)]
-A highly elastic weapon with a small amount of Eternium added. It automatically extends by analyzing the user\'s motion and is essentially a double blade which consists of a core blade that causes material decomposition waves and a monomolecular blade that maximizes cutting power. Its durability is also excellent, and it is said that the great Karlst…
Some kind of explanation seemed to be written, but he couldn\'t understand it properly. Was it because he hadn\'t slept well for the past few days?
Then he realized that just the act of staying here alone was deducting Karma Points, so he hurriedly terminated the connection.
Only then did he notice his remaining Points.
Huh?!
Was it because of cutting down those evil Demonic Cultists? Karma Points had accumulated.
[Remaining Points: 116,520P]
He was sure he had used up all his points and was at \'0\'...
The days of eating only bread and water to save points flashed through his mind.
Of course, he had done so to hide and endure as long as possible, but he couldn’t help but drool while looking at other community users\' boastful posts. However, even if he hadn\'t saved, it wasn’t like he could do much with just 10,000 points. It took 10,000 points just to rise to VIP Grade 1, after all.
But...
T-The P-Points just multiplied?! Is this some sort of duplication technique?
A formula that couldn’t help but be drawn was forming in his mind.
If one Demonic Cult Master equals that, then...?
The sight of more Demonic Cult warriors approaching from afar filled his vision.
However, they now started to look like nothing more than walking /genesisforsaken
