Chapter 291: Adora the Monster Part VI

Translator: HunterW

Editor: RED

During the thirty minute fight against the ten-meter tall Adora, I had let him hit me three times. I wanted to see just how much damage output he was capable of. From those three hits, I noticed that while his attacks definitely had some power to them, I could still easily stand up to them. I was also strong enough to be called a monster.

But that didn’t mean I let him hit me every time. I was more than fast enough to avoid all of his attacks, and I didn’t want to let him feel good about himself.

But Adora, who was now just short of three meters tall, was a lot different, especially his speed. I was still able to stay out of range of his kicks, though.

“Wow! You are amazing, Lee Jiwon! I still can’t attack you in this form. How the hell did you become what you are?”

“…That’s what I want to ask you? Are you some sort of transforming robot or something?”

“Gahahaha. That’s a nice comparison. Transforming robot…pfft.”

“You’re immune to critical hits and you have the status effect immunity from the Unrivaled Skill. Okay, I can understand up to there. But that damage immunity of yours… just what exactly is its limit?” This fight has been going on for almost forty minutes now. My ATT was high enough to kill most devas without critical hits. Hell, I could kill Angel and Claudia in half the time with my current strength. But I knew for a fact that Adora hadn’t received a single point of damage. I didn’t let it show, but I was at my wit’s end.

Adora cackled. “Are you curious?”

“Yeah, very.” I really was. Not knowing was making me more and more impatient. I had to know, even if I wanted to give up.

Adora cackled again. “Fine, I’ll tell you. I think I know by now that your first attack was your strongest.”

“…” I didn’t say anything back. He was right.

“So, about my damage immunity…”

My body tensed as I waited for his answer.

“I am completely immune to all damage. No sort of attack is capable of even inflicting a single point of damage on me. Gahahaha! So all you need to do is die here in horror!” Adora cried as he charged me. He may have shrunk down to a quarter of his massive size, his combat style hadn’t changed. He also didn’t even bother dodging or blocking my attacks. It reminded me of how I used to fight.

I thrust my spear into Adora’s side and his fist struck my temple. I could have avoided his attack. He was a lot faster than when he was in his hulking form, but his attack speed was still slower than my movement speed. But if I dodged, I wouldn’t be able to attack him, due to how much stronger and faster Adora had become. Besides, his attack power wasn’t even that much higher, anyway.

“I’m going to break through your god damn immunity. Fissure!”

“Gahahaha! Sure, try as much as you can. I want to see your despairing expression when you realize you can do nothing to me!”

The level 3 Fissure split the ground beneath Adora, dragging him deep into the earth.

“How interesting. How are all of your Skills capable of dealing so much damage? Did you somehow get them all to max level?”

“What do you mean? They’re all level 1. Aren’t you just too weak?”

Adora chuckled. “At least you still have your sense of humor.”

Adora continued to swing and kick at me. His damage output definitely wasn’t anything special. The only problem was his damage immunity, but the only thing I could do was to keep attacking him and try to break through it, even if it meant losing all of my HP. And what if I still couldn’t break through it then?

“…” I brushed away the thought. Only an hour had passed since our fight began. There were still twenty-three hours left on Critical Weakness and Ripped Advance.

——

“Charge!”

“Help the commander!”

“Commander Lee still has his Dignity debuff and AoE HP drain, but Adora the Monster does not have any debuffs. It’ll be easier for us to fight in the middle than the enemy’s army!”

“Yes, sir!”

The Terran army charged without hesitation towards the middle of the battlefield where the two monsters were fighting, knowing that this was the deciding battle. Of course, the Crootian army had similar thoughts.

“Don’t get close to the middle fight. Lee Jiwon possesses powerful debuffs. Leave the two be and destroy the enemy’s army!”

“Yes sir!”

The two armies approached each other in different ways, but still engaged nonetheless.

“Triple Shot!”

“Stalagmite!”

“Sheer Cold!”

“Iron Body!”

:

:

“Dancing Fire Sparks!”

“Razor Wind Storm!”

“Thorns of Pain!”

“Earth Lance!”

“Billowing Flame Pillar!”

Both armies fired volleys of countless Skills and spells and each other. Both sides had just lost countless more deva soldiers from the first wave of attacks but no one paid attention to them. Death was now the norm on this land.

—

“Homing Skill: Hellfire Arrow!”

“Homing Skill: Frostbitten Arrow!”

:

“Homing Skill: Power Shot!”

Thousands of Skill arrows whizzed past my head and struck Adora. I was in their flight path, but they were shot through Homing Skill, allowing them to home in.

“Damn flies,” Adora muttered as he swatted at the arrows.

Honestly, I didn’t like seeing the arrows. It honestly hurt my pride since this was a one-on-one fight, and I had never needed help from anyone before. But I couldn’t really do anything about it. I needed all the help I could get to break through his damage immunity.

“Spirit Strike!” I kept up my attacks, using my all of my Skills whenever they were off cooldown.

—

Two hours later…

“Argh! You’re so annoying!”

The one thousand Terran archers behind me were all completely locked on Adora. The rest of the Empire’s soldiers were also locked in an even battle against the seven million Crootian soldiers. Adora likely didn’t like that, but the same went for me. I was still nowhere closer to killing him. Seriously, no one should be that imbalanced…

“That’s what I want to say! God, why won’t you die?” I shouted in annoyance as I attacked and attacked. Time was no longer on my side.

Then, Adora suddenly started to pant heavily. That made me nervous. He probably had another trick up his sleeve.

“Fine, I’ll admit it. You, Lee Jiwon, are strong. Honestly, I never expected my attacks to be this useless against you,” Adora said, scorning himself. “You have made me resort to this method. I didn’t want to use it because of its penalty, but now, I have to. I don’t see any other way to kill you.”

“…” He was already strong enough. The fact that he had more rendered me speechless. I had nothing else to use. The only thing I had was Shaman Ko, but I couldn’t control him. He did somehow help me in dire times, but it was too dangerous to rely on him.

“Graaah!” Adora roared again, just like whenever he transformed.

“Scorching Rage! Titan Stomp! Fissure!” I used all of the Skills I had to try to stop his transformation. Unfortunately, they didn’t stop him. He just stood there and let the attacks hit him.

Adora was now at the same height he was when I first met him. He had lost his bulked-up muscles but he exuded a more dangerous aura.

“Everyone thinks I only have three abilities: critical hit immunity, Unrivaled Skill, and the damage immunity that you love so much. I actually have another ability, but I have never revealed it before. Do you know why? I didn’t need to. I did plan on using it on Claudia, but when she ensnared me in her Time, I forever lost the chance to. Still, I’ll show it to you so be honored, Lee Jiwon. You’re the first to see my greatest ability firsthand. 100x Duplicated Focus – Attack.”

Adora activated his Skill, but remained glued to his spot.

“Create Weakness.”

==[You have activated Create Weakness on your opponent.

Created Weakness location: center of opponent’s chest.

If you do not successfully attack the Created Weakness, the Created Weakness will disappear.

You must wait a cooldown of 20 minutes before Creating a new Weakness.]==

“Blink 1. Backstab.” He could blabber on about whatever for as long as he wanted; the only thing I needed to do was to keep up my attacks. I Blinked behind him and stabbed my spear into the red circle that formed on his right calf.

==[You have successfully attacked your opponent from the back to inflict 100% additional damage.]==

The attack worked again but I wasn’t excited about it. This wasn’t the first time it succeeded. I attacked his back again and again but Adora remained still. He didn’t even grunt in pain. Then, in a blink of an eye, Adora spun around and punched me square in the chest.

“Gah!” I felt an immense pain as my chest felt like it was about to cave in. I had the air knocked completely out of me. This was the most pain I’d ever felt in all of my years as a deva. I was thrown back and rolled over the ground by ten meters. I used the momentum to get back up and quickly checked my HP. In a single hit, I had lost 40 million HP.

“Hoo! You survived it. But you don’t seem that much worse for wear than I expected. Just how high are your DEF and HP? Do you really have more than 100 million HP?”

“…” I couldn’t reply to his awestruck remark. I was shocked. My DEF was well over 400 thousand. Even when my DEF was 200 thousand points lower, most of my enemies couldn’t inflict much damage to me. And yet, he had broken through my DEF and MDEF and dealt that much damage to me. I was horrified.

“Well, fine. I hope this next attack will be a critical hit. 100x Duplicated Focus – Attack.” Adora took his statue-like stance again.

I felt lost. I never expected to encounter an enemy as strong as him. Even if I did, I don’t think could have planned how to deal with his damage immunity.

Then, Adora began to move, as if he had finished his preparations.

“Blin…gah!” I definitely saw him move with his fist raised. I tried to use Blink to get away, but he was faster, much faster. I felt the same immense pain wash over me again.

“Man, aren’t you lucky? My attack wasn’t a critical hit again. And if you’re wondering why I keep bringing it up, it’s because my Focus – Attack has a 99% CRIT rate. So, yeah. You really are lucky.”

I lost 42 million HP from that attack this time. “Fuck.” I’d had my fair share of difficult opponents. I was even killed by the Predator Duke and the Grim Reaper, and was only saved by my Bracelet of Eternal Fire each time.

But back then, I didn’t feel that my attack power was lacking in any way. I just couldn’t do ANYTHING to Adora and now, I couldn’t even avoid his attacks.

“Are you frustrated? I felt the same towards that bitch, Claudia. So I am sincerely grateful to you for killing her. Gahahaha! If I could, I’d hug you and kiss you all day.”

I wanted to rip that mouth off of his face. “Shut up, you son of a bitch!” I snarled as I charged.

“Good. Let’s see if you can survive a third time. 100x Duplicated Focus – Attack!”

“Spirit Strike!” I attacked as many times as I could while Adora took the same stance again. “Fuck! Just die!”

Adora didn’t move as I stabbed him again and again. He should have died from all those attacks, or at least had his Focus broken. But Adora just stood there expressionlessly. Then, when it looked like he was about to move, I quickly jumped as far away as I could.

Adora cackled. “Do you think you can avoid my attack? You can’t because I can home in on you, like those archers of yours. Homing Strike!”

I saw where he aimed his fist and quickly moved to the left, but he was telling the truth.

“Gah!” I definitely moved before him, but his fist still struck me square in the chest.

“Wow…I couldn’t deal critical damage for a third time? Just how lucky can you get?”

As I heard Adora’s voice, I began to think that I should be running away. If not, I really needed Shaman Ko to come out just about now.
