Chapter 264: All in [3]

There’s always a boss that’s sometimes more busted than the final freaking boss itself. Be it stats, mechanics, or move set, it’s the developers telling you to quit. No crits, or weak points whatsoever, so what exactly is our option? Cheat codes…

[It was probable but to think you’d be able to use the manifestation of someone like me…]

Avatars what was previously started before their gods’ chosen vessel to finally stand beside the world. But even after searching for so long, the gods find it troublesome to search for the one-in-a-million individual. Some quit and others who refused to surrender willingly gave their power to anyone but it came with a price

’One of the prices to pay is the overwhelming penalty that came in the form of pain. You wouldn’t acquire it if you were their chosen avatar. But for the unchosen due to their lack of compatibility, the divine power forcefully seeps in damaging the person’s body. The second price is that the maximum power of the manifestation of the blessing has been diminished,’

[But you aren’t affected by the decrease of the power?]

“That’s the case… you desire to see the future to stop the worst outcome. I am the same as well. Our reasons may be different but just the thought is what keeps the power from ever going down,”

The abundance of eyes that covered his body would one by one depart and float within the room. The eyes he originally had were broken and he found another way to regain his vision in the use of the gods’ blessing. Because of that, he was now able to dodge an attack fairly easily from his back where he lowered his torso

“I see you…” He twists and turns his body and positions it so that he swings his right arm for a clean hit

[System: You’ve landed a critical hit!!!]

The angelic monster who possesses Lawrence’s design is now frightened as to why he landed a critical strike. It quickly geared itself to the max and instead of belittling Morris, it went for the kill where it sent a flurry of attacks. But to no avail every attempt he made was easily dodged without a single one scraping his flesh

[System: You’ve landed a critical hit!!!]

“It would be believable if you were a master but no… even they have weaknesses. I understand now. Your weak point is shifting from every corner of your body,”

He struck his throat, then his neck, and he ended his assault by landing an elbow thrust to Lawrence’s back. After gaining the eyes of the divine he finally saw the real reason for his unfair gimmick which seemed to be impossible. Though this angelic figure had its abilities revised to match Morris’s every tactic its body possesses a unique effect

[All-seeing eye: You’ve seen the unique feature of the boss!

Unique feature: (Shiftum) Weak Points are shifted every 5 seconds in a random location

Calculating: Processing complete high chances of the Weak Points appearing on the following body part: Face, left arm, toe, abdomen, torso]

“Don’t fuck with me!!!”

That was the last straw… after Christoper pushed the boss to its limits its true form emerged. Not an angelic abomination but something even higher. One of the first of the fourteen arch-angels that drove away the seven deadly sins

[Alert: The boss has gone rogue! It’s revealing its true form. You’ve encountered Cassiel of Temperance!

Status: Due to the unforeseen outcome the norms of the trial have been destroyed!

Outcome: The applied penalty you received is gone! You’re incapable of using powerful skills. Anything obtainable through the start of the game is applicable

Active ability: The active skill ’Mana breathing’ has awakened after the applied penalty has been removed]

“So that’s why the bosses are quite powerful… It’s because it’s you guys. So let me guess that the boss I killed is an archangel?”

After he healed himself he managed to dodge a beam of holy light where the caster itself glared with such hostility. “You… I won’t forgive you! There’s no place for you in heaven after killing Ramiel. I’ll make sure you’ll pay,”

’Cassiel? Guess that’s the reason why he’s not such a big deal… he’s the opposite of gluttony which is known for hunger. But his virtue only makes him unaffected by debuffs which makes him completely used against me. Nevertheless, he’s strong…’

“Acceleration…” He rushes through whilst dodging the raining holy swords in his way

“Why… there’s no way you could see the future! Your body can’t handle such power like foresight–” In his absent-mindedness, Morris manages to close the gap and lands a clean blow through his mug

“Foresight? This is the eye of calculation! Every action has an effect. With every effect appears one to estimate what will happen next!”

He opens his palm, accumulates his mana, and invokes his skill Ignite, sending Cassiel off bound. He ran through the ground where he tailed him for another strike, but Cassiel caught on rather quickly. He fires a large beam of holy light but to his surprise, the whole debris freezes and forms a shield

“What the!!?” A hand purely made of glacial caught him and he was dragged below to the spot where he fired the beam

“Ignite + Shock,” His hand was clenched where it forms, and instead of firing the spell he applied it through his arm

As Cassiel closes in, the two opposite spells reach his fist and thus create an explosive reaction. Through the aid of his armor, he manages to avoid any lethal injuries while dealing a powerful blow. Cassiel tried to break free but he found it difficult as the person he was required to kill possessed an eye unlike any other

“Mystic Laceration!!!” Cassiel’s wings were trimmed and fell to the ground where he was suddenly met with a roundhouse kick

[Slow down on the mana consumption! You won’t do anything if you keep wasting it so carelessly! There’s still a chance]

Due to his active form, Morris unconsciously uses ’Heal’ to alleviate himself from the penalty of manifestation. Though he managed to land some hits he was far from reaching the end. There are only a few minutes left before he ultimately meets his maker so he decides to clip his adversaries wings

’Throughout this fight… I’ve been shown how much I rely on skills. I can’t even differentiate myself from Yuri. I need to end this right here and now, this angel keeps healing his wounds. So all of it led up to this moment. I’m still weak, I haven’t grown any stronger, it was just an illusion,’

“… if so then I need to try!!!” Up to this point, he closes off every support even in his skills aside from mana breathing

Christoper finally came to terms with the real reason why he was here… it wasn’t to belittle his achievements but to test his will. To truly show whether he changed from back then. This was a trial to see whether he was truly worthy. But in everything he experienced until now he never once tried to change and remains with his tactics

“I need to focus…” His last command through the glacial array was to create a wall so he and his opponents had nowhere to escape

“I finally understand!” After he first threw a punch he was certain without the system along with his stats it was certain

Though he says he gained a body perfect for combat he has yet to fully master the basics. He was so reliant on the system, that he forgot to truly toughen himself, because of his ’Heal’ he never changed. Whether it’s the angle of his kick or the swing of his fist he never once perfected these things

“I’m such an idiot!” As the two proceed in their brawl he feels the sprain and cramp of his muscles reason being his lack of experience

[Watch out!!!]

Cassiel’s punch pierces through his chest because he never used any skills, without the presence of his mana… he was incapable of dodging even though the eyes have foretold of his demise. Cassiel retrieves his arm and Morris slowly falls to the ground with the taste of defeat lingering in the hole in his chest

([Rewrite system: You’ve suffered an attack that exceeds the limits of your ’Heal’

Status: The damage done to your body surpasses the limitation of the plot armor (Rapid regeneration)

Outcome: Your body slowly grows cold as your blood seeps out from your dying vessel])

’Fuck. I almost had it… just one more. Move god damn it! Just one more swing. I can still… I can still… win… this–’

His vision grows dark and in that moment instead of despair, he wishes for another chance over and over. His will remains unbroken till the very end, suddenly he hears a beep. The same irritable sound he hears from the mysterious system that holds many mysteries he wishes to uncover

([Rewrite system: Your will remains unbroken even after you face the presence of death…

Alert: You’ve triggered a requirement to unlock an ability you so long possessed in yourself

Unsealing: (Pen name effect)

Pre-recorded message: Congratulation Author; Reborn_Flames if you’re reading this then you finally unlock a game-changing effect

[Reborn_Flames]: Processing complete! Pen pen-name effect has been reconfigured to [Flames of Rebirth]

[Flames of Rebirth]: Whenever your body reaches a state of death as long as your will is unchanged

You’ll be covered with a colorless flame that’ll heal and prevent you from dying in any manner

This effect only lasts for about 10 seconds and will be on cooldown for the next 24 hours until its next use])

“I can still win…”

Cassiel wasn’t able to block his next attack when his speed returned to its prime due to the effects of the flame. The mana he kept storing until now was fully released not only destroying Cassiel but the entire building itself. The mysterious flame somehow bypasses the system and granted Morris within that span of 10 seconds to unseal all his stats

[System: Congratulations you’ve beat the boss who resides on the 50th floor!

Status: Due to the rampage of the boss, you were exempted from clearing the 51 – 74 floors

Outcome: All of your equipment levels are converted to [LVL 74]. The duration of your rest has been increased to 72 hours

Changes: Because of the rampage of the boss, you are now capable of using skills. The skills you’re able to use are low-tier or those that you acquired at the start of the game. Even if the rarity of the skill goes higher than low tier as long as it’s acquired at the start it remains applicable]
