Chapter 254 – Demigod Atreus 4 (2/2)
The backflow of blood and the pain of his bones being pulverized into dust dominated his whole body, but Woohyuk could not withdraw.
Withdrawing meant defeat and death.
When the two men were fighting a mental power fight with their weapons against each other, Fenrir shredded a vampire into two with its sharp claws.
Chwa-Ah!
Red blood scattered everywhere, and the summoned vampires lost shape.
Immediately afterward, Fenrir returned to the Thunder Lord Spear.
When it joined their battle, Woohyuk could feel that Atreus was gaining the upper hand in their balance of power, little by little.
Hwa-Rrrrr!
Blue flames gradually encroached upon and extinguished the pitch-black mana aura surrounding Verserios and gradually approached Woohyuk.
In preparation for this emergency, Woohyuk used Sieg’s skill, Indomitable Fighting Spirit.
To overcome his human limitations, he would become an immortal for 10 minutes.
At the same time, he used Lilith’s Unholy Grail to amplify Verserios’ magic as much as possible.
As a result…
Crack!
The Thunder Lord Spear was unable to withstand the sudden overflow of might and rebounded off.
No matter if Fenrir was used, even if it was a masterpiece of a master blacksmith, the spear couldn’t be compared to a representative weapon of the demon race.
However, Atreus was also once a Demigod hero, so he wouldn’t lose so easily.
Flash!
With a bright blue flash, Atreus’ figure disappeared.
At that moment…
Woohyuk instinctively turned his body and stabbed Verserios directly behind him.
Pu-Wook!
Slice!
Different kinds of dull sounds occurred almost simultaneously.
The Thunder Lord Spear cut off Woohyuk’s left arm while Verserios pierced Atreus’ heart.
Eventually, the battle was decided by the smallest of differences.
Whack!
Atreus glanced down at Verserios’ blade sticking into him, spewing red blood from his mouth.
He knew that his death was imminent, so he opened his mouth to speak with a resigned look, “It’s a little disappointing. I thought my last attack would be successful.”
“… I’m also familiar with this type of duel,” Woohyuk answered.
“I’m not angry. Instead, I feel like you will make my wish come true.”
The advent of the Demon Lord would destroy the limitations and restrictions of the current system and open a new era.
If he were to be used as a sacrificial goat at the alter to bring down the system, he would agree.
Sa-Rrr~
Atreus calmly closed his eyes. His body started turning into blue particles and began to scatter in the air.
‘Is it finally over?’
It seemed like they battled each other for about a day and a half.
It was only half the time from his previous life’s battle with the Amazonian female warrior Pentesilia, but his mental and physical exhaustion was twice as much as that time.
“… Keuk.”
When Atreus disappeared, Woohyuk stared at his left arm, which was cleanly cut off and lying atop the stone chamber floor.
As his tension relaxed, his pain intensely increased.
It was the result of using the attrition and exchange strategy to win the fierce one-on-one duel.
‘But I have the Power of Resuscitation that I received from Hevnia.’
There was a cooldown of one day, but the ability’s limitation didn’t diminish the cheat-like aspect of the spell.
After restoring his left arm to its original state, Woohyuk picked up the armament left behind by Atreus.

Description: You can summon Fenrir, the Frost-Fire Wolf. The user may attack 3 times at the speed of light (10 minute cooldown time for reuse).
‘It can be said that this is the ultimate armor.’
It was a masterpiece produced by the God of Blacksmithing with great care.
Meanwhile, since he already possessed Verserios, the Thunder Lord Spear was not particularly something he could use.
After considering his options, Woohyuk decided to absorb the Thunder Lord Spear into the Immortal Armor.
Rumble.
Black energy emanated from the dark-colored metal and corroded the Thunder Lord Spear upon contact.
Afterward, a series of system messages appeared in front of Woohyuk.
[Immortal Armor has consumed the Thunder Lord Spear.]
[As a result, an ability has been added to the Immortal Armor.]
Woohyuk once again opened the status information window and checked the changes.

Description: You are not damaged by weapons of grade A or lower. Consumes the enemy’s equipment and absorbs the abilities inherent in it once the enemy is defeated.
Predated Ability: Can summon Fenrir, the Frost-Fire Wolf.
‘Aren’t all the abilities absorbed?’
Light attribute skills and abilities, like the Thunder Lord Spear’s speed of light attacks, didn’t seem to mesh with the Immortal Armor.
Furthermore, it seemed that the armor’s properties re-initialized when the owner changed.
When Woohyuk wore the Immortal Armor, another system message came up.
