Vol 24 Chapter 8 (1/2)
ACT 8 Project: Lucifer
-Kuwaaaah!
Once the capsule was gone, Lucifer yanked at his head and wenthis arms like an insane person
“Huck! S-scatter!”
The attack squad athered in front of Lucifer scattered like chickens But Lucifer didn’t even look at theround Then he suddenly stopped and his whole body melted down to a jelly like texture
“M-melted? So he is dead?”
“What? Is it over?”
“We won?”
The attack squad e slie and shook his head
“No, it’s not over yet!”
-Somewhere in the darkness of the world, the Dark Lord’s resurrection cereun!
<ti=”” until=”” the=”” dark=”” lord’s=”” resurrection:=”” 37=”” minutes=””>
Ark cried out and the black slile Then dozens of tentacles started exploding all over the place
Ku ka kwa, ku ka kwa!
“Huk! What, what the?”
“H-help me, waaaaahhhhh!”
Dozens of soldiers watching with durabbed by the tentacles and absorbed into Lucifer Only bones were left of the soldiers absorbed by Lucifer
‘Oh my God, Lucifer can still attack even while the resurrection cere?’
Ark once again realized Lucifer’s power In fact, Ark thought that Lucifer would be like a doll with its battery reone However, Lucifer was still a threat without the Red Man
Ka kwang, ka kwang!
Lucifer swung his hundreds of tentacles wildly and dust covered the area The attack squad could only see 10 metres in front of them thanks to the dust so they became even more confused And the resurrection hadn’t stopped In the end, they needed to shatter Lucifer in 37 minutes
“But that guy’s movement is clearly different Previously he was consciouslywildly Plus……”
“Sheesh, that monster bastard Torrential Sword!”
“Why won’t you disappear? Earth storm!”
Ka kwang, ka kwang!
Then Shaed the tentacles near them There was an explosion and several tentacles fell down feebly to the ground At the same time, Lucifer’s health was quickly reduced by 05
“That guy has degenerated while holding the resurrection cereone If Lucifer is in this state then the attack squad can kill him in the time limit!”
If Lucifer was in such a state when the attack squad escaped fro would’ve ended already The Red Man’s trick cost them quite a bit of time However, now the Red Man’s trick had been revealed The ree amount of time but all the demons had been wiped out and the 1,200 attack squad members revived
“JusticeMan ajusshi+, rehabilitation hyungni but now he is just an amoeba If you look at the attack pattern then it will be easy to avoid Furthermore, there is no shi+eld and the defense is at the standard of a general boss If you handle it calmly then he isn’t a difficult opponent”
“I noticed it too!”
JusticeMan nodded The rehabilitation members read Lucifer’s attack patterns and shouted
“Everybody split into units consisting of 50 people Archers and icians will attack the main body while the warriors will protect them from the tentacles! We will deliver the position of the troops in real time!”
The attack squad had experiencedthe orders from JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members, they instantlywith the tentacles wasn’t that difficult
“That’s it If we push him like this…!”
Flash!+
Ark was just sighing with relief when it happened A red light flashed in front of hiround and his limbs wouldn’t move when he tried to stand up
-You have been hit by a ‘Chakra Wave’
<you have=”” received=”” the=”” direct=”” impact=”” of=”” ‘chakra=”” wave’=”” inside=”” your=”” body=”” defense=”” is=”” ignored=”” and=”” you=”” have=”” received=”” 800=”” dae=”” the=”” shock=”” wave=”” also=”” ruined=”” the=”” balance=”” of=”” mana=”” inside=”” your=”” body=”” and=”” you=”” have=”” lost=”” 1000=”” ,=”” your=”” attack=”” speed=”” and=”” movement=”” speed=”” is=”” reduced=”” by=”” 10=”” for=”” 5=”” id=”” and=”” you=”” will=”” be=”” unable=”” to=”” move=”” for=”” 3=”” seconds=””>
“Ugh, Chakra wave?”
Ark flinched and lifted his eyes One h the dust caused by Lucifer It was aa white mask! Ark’s eyes shook anxiously as he saw him
“The Red Man!”
“You…… I’ to kill you!”
The Red Man murmured with a harsh voice
‘Dammit, wasn’t I too careless because of Lucifer?’
He was stunned by his forgetfulness The Red Man pulled out tords froreat speed that transcended iht about what he experienced with the Red Man before then it would certainly be a critical hit However, Ark was paralyzed by the previous Chakra Wave and he couldn’t move Ark prepared for the impact And just as the Red Man’s sas about to reach Ark’s neck!
“Do you not see us at all? Earth storm!”
“Torrential Sword!”
Shah the dust towards the Red Man The Red Man bent his body like a snake andbreaking and Bread and Sha blood
“Ugh! W-what is this? I didn’t see him move”
“That bastard… What have you done to my pet?”
Redian belatedly appeared and frohile raising both hands She made an X with both arms and shouted
“Fusion ic, Elemental Break!”
Fire and ice were drawn from side to side in an arc and hit the Red Man! Before the spell could hit, the Red Man disappeared and unexpectedly showed up in front of Redian At the same time, the Red Man’s fist hit Redian’s stomach
“Disappear woman!”
Redian screaround Timosi hid in the dust and used that chance to fire dozens of arrows No, she tried to bombard him
“Red Man, this is revenge for Alan! Matanyi Shooter no 4, Devil’s……
The Red Man rapidly rotated his body, causing dozens of red rays to shoot out from his ushed blood from her whole body and fell down
“Waaahhhhhhhh!”
Ka ka ka!
At that time, Wormer in his armoured suit rushed fiercely forward and fired blindly But in just a moment, black smoke rose from the armoured suit and the shoulder parts exploded The armoured suit couldn’t control its speed anymore and just rotated around wildly The Red Man already knew Wor Tih the dust but Lariette still screa far away It was a reaction speed that transcended iination
“Trash like this…”
The Red Manthe heroes’ descendants
“Myso I didn’t pay attention… I should’ve handled you immediately But I will correct that uys then Lucifer’s resurrection will be complete without any problems”
“Do you think ill just let you?”
Ark’s paralysis was finally released and he stood up He boldly retorted towards the Red Man but he was actually sweating
‘daer……’
Ark stared at the fallen Bread and Shambala Ark had been level 300 when he first encountered the Red Man At the time, Ark and Shambala tried a pincer attack but they were still smashed However, it had been alained equipment that couldn’t even be compared to back then Therefore he had confidence that he could at least fight against the Red Man Once hean illusion that was Of course, Ark had received a surprise bloever, Shambala and Bread were almost equal to Ark and they surprised the Red Man firstYet they couldn’t even attack properly before being forced to the ground It was the same for Redian, Timosi, Wormer and Lariette afterwards It only took hith But it was understandable if Park Woo-seong was behind the Red Man
‘Park Woo-seong is the main creator of New World!’
Naturally Park Woo-seong testedit And what if he didn’t erase one character but left it?
‘The Red Man…… He is the first person created in New World!’
In that case, perhaps the Red Man’s level was already in the hundreds when New World was co about New World, gained various abilities as well as equipment
‘But his strength isn’t just his levels and skills’
Ark found out a while ago that the Red Man was just an auto program as close to an NPC But even if he was an NPC, he was different froabytes of data behind it while the Red Man had hundreds or thousands of gigabytes of data Therefore the Red Man’s calculation speed easily surpassed any human brain and he could react to any attacks It was like they were battling a super computer The character was invincible! It was natural Park Woo-seong intended to make his creation invincible
‘The Red Man’s stats, equipment and skills surpasses all of ours in every way How can we defeat such a monster?’
Ark’s thoughts frantically rolled over in his head
“I’ll dispose of all of you at once shi+va’s Proclamation!”
The Red Man shouted and punched the ground with his fist
Ka ka!
A huge stone statue rose up froround It was one of the three Hindu Gods It was a stone statue rese shi+va with four arms, three eyes and a snake wrapped around the neck The four ar space becaht Ark’s face instantly darkened at the sight Ark had already experienced the power of this once before shi+va’s Proclamation was a fraudulent new territory declaration where the abilities of the Red Man, his movement speed and defense increased by 50 ithin the 300the Divine Skill Indra’s Lightning to wipe theer
‘I made a mistake I can’t even use Area Declaration now that he used new territory declaration’
Ark looked at the Red Man with a hopeless expression At the ained when the last seal of Eternal Soul was released popped into his head It was Hero Fusion which absorbed all the Area Declarations into his body! Even if he could use Glory of the Night, he wouldn’t be able to deal with the Red Man who used the divine proclamation However, Hero Fusion meant he was able to absorb the Area Declarations of the other heroes’ descendants
‘We’ve already used Area Declaration but we died and revived so the cool down time is reset Then it is possible to make all the heroes’ descendants proclaim their Area Declarations! I can beat the Red Man!’
“…Die!”
While Ark was thinking, the Red Man ran up while wielding his sword
Kiiiiiing!
The Red Man’s sword pushed past the sound barrier… Ark rolled to the ground and shouted
“Eternal Soul, Hero Fusion! Area Declaration, Glory of the Night!”
At the same time, an informationappeared in front of Ark
-Glory of the Night has been used
Due to the effect of Hero Fusion froht has been absorbed into your body
<your attack=”” and=”” defense=”” has=”” increased=”” by=”” 50=”” and=”” ic=”” resistance=”” has=”” increased=”” by=”” 20=””>
Ark got up at the same time and yelled
“Now Shambala, Bread, Redian, Lariette, Wormer and Timosi, use your Area Declarations!”
“What? But the Red Man has already proclaimed the new territory declaration…”
“There’s no time to explain I have a way to take care of that! I need you to use your Area Declarations!”
“Ah, I don’t know It isn’t possible for me to even y Field!”
Wormer exclaimed from within the broken ar used, a small ball seemed to form in the air in front of Wormer And it fleards Ark where it was absorbed into his body At the same time, the Red Man jumped across the space and brandished his sword Just before the Red Man’s sword touched him, Wormer’s Area Declaration was absorbed and Ark was covered with shi+ny gold armour It was the additional effect of Wory Field!
Kyakyakyakyak!
The Red Man’s sword scratched the gold iron and sparked The Red Man frowned and retreated one step because of the unexpected situation The rest of the heroes’ descendants realized the situation and activated Area Declaration
“Area Declaration, River of Blood!”
“Area Declaration, Land of the Beast!”
“Area Declaration, Land of Purification!”
“Area Declaration, Exorcist!”
“Area Declaration, Land of Fire and Ice!”
The 5 Area Declarations turned into s vortex appeared around Ark as the balls were absorbed into his body There was a massive shockwave and the heroes’ descendants burst out with confusion
“What the? What happened to him?”
The dust gradually subsided and Ark’s form could be seen But he wasn’t the previous Ark anymore The Area Declarations from the 7 heroes had fused into Ark’s body!
“This is Hero Maban’s final technique, Hero Fusion…”
Ark ed after absorbing the Area Declarations He was alearing leather ars so muscular And two transparent crystal shi+elds rotated around his body which had a gold shi+ne to it But the e to his appearance but the tremendous power he could feel At the same time, an informationappeared in front of Ark
-Hero Fusion has absorbed all the heroes’ Area Declaration into your body
Attack and defense power increased by 300
Resistance to cold has risen by 200
Movement Speed, Reaction Rate and Attack Speed increased by 200
The amount of mana needed to use the skills has decreased by half
Resistance to ic and curses has increased by 100
The crystal shi+elds have a 30 chance of reflecting enemy attacks
The iron armour increases defense by 100
“Oh my God, is this really the effect of a normal skill?”
Ark gaped as he saw the infor, the Red Man crossed the space again
“Even if all the trash is gathered, it is still trash!+”
The revolving crystal shi+elds stopped the Red Man’s attack At the sarazed the surface of the crystal shi+eld bounced back and grazed the Red Man’s shoulder
“Ugh! T-this is…”
The Red Man withdrew and stared with confusion at his sword Then Ark looked at the Red Man and laughed
“A collection of trash is still trash? Is it really like that?”
Ark gathered strength into his ankle and kicked lightly at the ground Ark’s body disappeared and he showed up right in front of the Red Man’s nose He didn’t use any special skills The 200 increase in movement speed made it seem like he had leapt across the space
“Now it is time for your punishment”
Kkiiiing!
Ark laughed as he appeared under the Red Man’s nose and swung his sword Ark’s sword also broke through the sound barrier
“T-this bastard…!”
The Red Man quickly withdrew Ark pursued the Red Man with his eyes This was because relative speed was applied to New World If his movement speed was faster than his opponent’s reaction rate, even if it was only by a little bit, relative speed would be applied through a complex system to prevent the opponent’s movement That was the secret of the spatial movement the Red Man used! But now Ark’s reaction rate had increased by 200
“Is that all?”
Ka ka ka!
Ark caught the movement of the Red Man and hurled complicated rapid-fire attacks
“Is that really Ark fighting over there?”
Bread muttered with a foolish expressionFrankly, Ark didn’t feel like his speed had increased by 200 It just felt like he wasfaster than usual However, Shambala and Bread fell into the trap of the system’s relative speed and couldn’t see Ark’s complicated movements as he chased the Red Man It just see in erasp how the battle was progressing They couldn’t even intrude After 10invisible battle…
Ka kwang, ka kwang!
There was a violent shaking At the same time, dust spread while Ark and the Red Man appeared There was a distance of 10 metres between them while their appearances were almost equal Several of Ark’s metal ar his side The Red Man grinded his teeth and muttered
“Ugh, you dare go against the creator…”
Ark snorted and said
“Don’t talk nonsense You’re an auto prograal!”
“What, auto? What is an auto program?”
The Red Man looked baffled
‘Eh? What the, what’s with this reaction? Does this guy not know that he is an auto program?’
“You…”
Ark looked at him with an absurd expression and tried to talk while the Red Man shook his head violently and shouted
“Shut up! I am the creator It is my choice whether to destroy the world or not!”
“You’re an illegal software so shouldn’t you be able to press the ‘Del’ key?”
“Shut up! Divine skill, Indra’s Lightning!”
Pajijik, pajijik, pajijijik, flash!+
At the moment, four round discs appeared around the Red Man and shot out sparks Sparks rose frohtning bolt and headed towards Ark Just like in thewhen he beca hit him
“Ah, Ark!”
Shambala and Bread simultaneously cried out When he was hit with the Divine Skill before, he had become paralyzed and his health reached the botto then he would be turned to ash!+ The heroes’ descendants iined Ark as ash and moaned
“Ha, your repertoire hasn’t changed Don’t you have anything else? You’ve learnt that skill a long tio and it seems like you haven’t increased your repertoire at all I’ll show you my new repertoire Divine Skill, Descent of the Fire Draconian!”
Ark’s voice was heard and a pillar of fla the sparks
-You have used the Divine Skill Descent of the Fire Draconian!
The <immortal fire=”” draconian=””> effect will be applied for 10 minutes
300 Fire dae added to all attacks
Attack speed, Movement speed and Reaction rate will increase by 50
All enee
Fire resistance increases to 500 and all party members’ fire resistance will increase to 100
When activated, all enee while 50 of the user’s health will be restored
“Huck! H-how did you block Indra’s……?”
“Your Master ht’ve created New World but you are just his body you idiot!”
Ark smiled and penetrated the Red Man with his sword
Ka ka ka!
Huge flames exploded from Ark’s body and sucked out the Red Man’s health The fire hit everywhere as the Red Man ended up kneeling on one side Then he looked at Ark with disbelieving eyes He finally noticed how Ark had stopped Indra’s Lightning
“U-unbelievable!”
Ark was standing in one spot with ht Ark had experienced Indra’s Lightning before and ca swords all over the place! Those swords acted like a lightning rod and absorbed the attacks fro
“You’re a coer coame Huhuhu, a person isdoht?”
Ark murmured The battle between Ark and the Red Man was equal so the ‘game mechanics application’ meant the difference between victory or defeat
-Kuooong!
At the sa the concentrated hits of JusticeMan, the rehabilitation members and the attack squadBoth the Red Man and Lucifer had been defeated
“Now, let’s finish this”
Ark muttered with a relaxed expression Despair rose in the Red Man’s eyes after seeing what happened to LuciferThen so suddenly bubbled froht of it caused the Red Man’s eyes to flash He suddenly got up and ran towards Lucifer
“Eh! T-this bastard…!”
Ark overtook hiilely squeezed between Lariette and Roco Meanwhile, the attack squad were e each other with joy as one of them prepared to drive his sword into Lucifer’s body
“You bastard! Why can’t you just give up?”
Ark caught up to the Red Man again and attacked No, he was about to attack
“Kuwaaaaaaaah!”
The Red Man suddenly screa the Red Man’s face and stuttered
“What, what the? His face?”
0100010101000010101111011010101001011110……
The Red Man was faceless It was just a void filled with nu happened afterwards The world froze the moment the Red Man’ssuddenly froze The only thing thatthe Red Man’s face
‘What, what the? Why can’t my body move?’
Ark used all his strength to try and an to gradually rise The thousands of tentacles on the ground also attached back onto hi?’
“T-this is back server?”
Back server… It was the phenomenon where the system returned to a previous state because of an error! It was a pheno was still unsafe But the phenomenon in front of hi to its original fore back to the original state that they encountered hi battle so Ark and the attack squad’s stamina and skills were already depleted
‘T-this isn’t possible!’
The stiffened Ark silently screamed
——————————————————————————————————————
“I’ve found it!”
A pair of eyes sparkled in the darkness The person looking at the laptop was a man in his late 30’s
“I never thought it would be in a place like that Global Exos, you shallow guys…! I’ve finally found it If this comes into my hands then nobody can stop me now Lucifer will revive and New World will disappear!”
The man typed on the laptop keyboard at an absurd speedThen a e appeared on the screen
-Do you want to start the Master code ‘Project: Lucifer’? Yes/No
“Now disappear You ugly group of data!’
The man’s cold eyes danced with joy as he prepared to hit the Y key All of a sudden he heard shouting from behind him
“Stop!”
The man flinched and hurriedly turned his head At the sa a ners wearing a badge on their chest The initials GASP were engraved on the badge GASP… They were the special security agents from Global Exos Confusion spread over the es
