You can also develop it by learning under the tutelage of a strong individual. Your growth will depend on how much you learn.

Overlord’s Technique, a King’s Authority and the ultimate skill of Overlord Raldo, had evolved into a God-rank skill. It had now grown to a level that far surpassed the Overlord’s Technique that Raldo possessed. Although the additional attack and damage did not change much, its radius had more than doubled compared to the previous one.

“Supreme Overlord’s Technique.”

And with the Great Spirit of Fire’s Blessings of Fire, the Supreme Overlord’s Technique’s damage and radius increased several times.

Rumbleeeeeee–

The Overlord’s Fire spread out and covered the sky and engulfed the gigantic Meteors.

“...!” The look in Helenia’s eyes changed.

The black flames, which moved like lava that could devour and melt the ground, consumed the Meteors she sent.

Crack, crack, crack, crack–!

Helenia’s mouth dropped, a small sigh of admiration escaping her lips as she watched her Meteors begin to crack.

‘It’s like I’m watching him.’

Someone’s figure overlapped with Minhyuk in Helenia’s eyes.

Shwaaaaaaaa–

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them anxiously.

“He made a mistake! We should quickly avoid it!”

“Emperor Elise, we have to evacuate right away!”

“Even if you evacuate right now, we will not survive if no one moves to stop that.”

“...”

“...”

“...”

The kings and emperors who were hurriedly trying to move away were rendered speechless by Elise’s words. After all, he was only telling the truth. The Meteors falling from the sky were so large that the area they could cover and devour would be significant if they fell.

Crack, crack, crack–! Crack, crack, crack–!

Web-like cracks appeared and spread all over the surface of the Meteors as the flames that covered the sky burned hotter and brighter as if they wanted to turn them into ashes.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaa–!

Crack, crack– Crack!

‘A bit more. Just a bit more...’ Minhyuk stared intently at the black flames of the Supreme Overlord’s Technique, hoping it would devour the Meteors falling from the sky. However, things did not work out as he wished.

Shwaaaaaaaaaa–

In the end, the Supreme Overlord’s Technique failed. It could not destroy a single one of the Meteors. However, if the attack had been more potent, all of them would have been destroyed. Helenia had determined this after seeing the cracks that covered the surface of the Meteors after the flames had devoured them.

‘That’s amazing. However, if it’s only that much, then it won’t be able to stop my magic.’ Helenia sneered.

He might be the foreigner’s Supreme, the ruler of an empire, and the one who inherited the power of an Absolute God. However, that was all.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaack!”

“Ruuuuuun!”

“Where will you run?! Once those Meteors fall, everyone here will die!”

“I- I don’t want to die! Please!!!”

Everyone fell into despair, their screams ringing loudly, as they watched the Meteors fall even further. However, it seemed like it was still too early for them to feel frustrated.

[He appeared in a flash of light.]

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack–

He appeared in a flash as lightning crackled in the gaps between the dozens of falling Meteors. He was the one that Minhyuk was only barely able to defeat despite having the Sword of Aeon in his hands. He was someone that everyone feared if he was their enemy, yet he was the most reliable if he was their ally. He was none other than Puppet Viel.

Click, click, click, click–

Intense and powerful sparks surged and fluttered all over Viel’s body as he held the sword. Viel’s Puppet Doll carried a small fragment of his ego, which was only left there so that he could listen to and execute Minhyuk’s orders.

Crackle, crackle, crackle–

The sparks dancing all over Viel’s body grew more prominent as he raised the sword.

Among all of the attributes of the Great Spirits, the Great Spirit of Lightning was the one that boasted the highest damage.

[With one swing of his sword, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky.]

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa–!

A blinding and powerful lightning bolt crackled into life and hit one of the Meteors when Viel swung his sword down.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaang–!

The lightning bolt was dozens of times larger than the bloody red one released by Minhyuk’s passive skill, Lightning.

Crackle–!

Then, another lightning bolt fell and hit the Meteor once again.

Baaaaaaaaaang–!

At that moment, the Meteor, already littered with cracks, broke apart and scattered into thin air. At the same time, hundreds of lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the Meteors.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang–!

The Meteors that threatened the lives of everyone on the ground began to shatter and disappear into nothingness in the sky above them. As for the people below? They all looked at Viel with admiration in their eyes. Then, their cheers resounded on the battlefield.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”

Helenia’s expression grew ugly as their cheers and shouts of admiration rang in her ears. She felt extremely disgusted with their behavior. They cheered and acted as if they had overcome everything despite only being able to block one of her spells.

“I feel like throwing up.”

Helenia had little time left. She had to go back soon. Helenia stretched her slender and fair fingers. At the same time, thousands of boulders appeared where she pointed. With one wave of her palm, parts of the boulders, the size of a carriage, were shaved off until they turned into sharp awls.

Baaaaaaaaang–!

The thousands of sharp and gigantic stone awls flew all at once. One stone awl killed hundreds of the coalition army the moment they stabbed the ground.

As if to respond to the attack, Viel fell from the sky and immediately slammed his sword on the ground.

[Lion’s Roar.]

[The deafening Lion’s Roar raises the ground, turning the earth into swords!]

[You have received the blessings of the Great Spirit of Earth.]

[The Great Spirit of Earth’s ‘Pillar of Growth’ has been triggered!]

[The Lion’s Roar and the Pillar of Growth have fused!]

Rumbleeeeeeeeee–!

Gigantic pillars sprung up from the ground in an instant. The ends of these pillars were all as sharp and pointed as the tip of the blade of a sword.

Crack–!

As the pillars rose and destroyed the falling stone awls, a man could be seen running somewhere. And with the whisper of ‘Like the Wind’...

[You have received the blessings of the Great Spirit of Wind!]

[The Great Spirit of Wind’s ‘Running One’ and ‘Like the Wind’ have fused!]

Like the Wind, which usually allowed Minhyuk to travel a distance of three meters in one go, allowed him to travel a thirty-meter distance at this very moment.

Slaaaaaash–

Minhyuk quickly raised his sword and destroyed the stone awl that flew toward him.

“...Interesting.” Helenia gnawed on her lips.

At first, she thought he was nothing but a greenhorn. But then, she learned that he was the only knight recognized by Athenae. Knowing that, she felt both interested and delighted. However, things had grown different. The man was destroying her magic in front of all the elves and humans on this battlefield. Now, her pride was being tarnished. The delight had now turned into anger.

“Every one of you will die here.” Helenia declared. She was no longer in the mood to play pranks on them.

[Master of Mana has been triggered!]

[The number of magic that you can cast has quadrupled!]

[A tremendous amount of mana swirls around the ‘Master of Mana.’]

Rumbleeeeeee–

The mana swirling around Helenia’s body slowly condensed at the tip of her fingers as she created and cast her magic. And the spell that she was casting? Diss, the magic that made Golden Mage Ali famous among the players.

Diss, a skill that could summon spears of light that would pierce through the enemies, had the most potent damage, mainly when it only targeted a single person. The Diss that Golden Mage Ali could cast was considered a cheat-like skill with its additional 20,000% attack. One could expect Helenia’s Diss to have at least 50,000% extra attack.

Just like that, more than seventy Diss appeared around Helenia. The Diss that Helenia cast created black spears instead of the usual golden ones, which was enough to place a greater sense of despair and pressure on everyone who saw her attack.

However, Helenia was not yet done. She was already wholly overcome with her rage.

[Raging Mana.]

[You have increased your mana volume by transcending your limits!]

[You have not yet recovered and restored your body and power! A significantly huge amount of damage is to be expected!]

With Raging Mana triggered, the more than seventy black spears floated around Helenia increased. Now, there were more than a hundred black spears floating around her. Everyone witnessing this sight thought they would never be able to see such a scene in their life again.

Then, these more than a hundred black spears turned and flew toward Minhyuk. Five were enough to pierce through Minhyuk’s body and kill him. As for the rest? They would continue to shoot forward until they had annihilated the kings, emperors, and vassals of the Beyond the Heavens Empire.

However, there was one thing that Helenia had overlooked. It was the fact that The One that Cannot Resist was not a debuff that could be infinitely cast on one person. The One That Cannot Resist was a horrendous and terrifying abnormal status that would instantly affect those who had seen her once she made her appearance. However, the duration of this debuff was not infinite; after all, no one would want to play or live in Athenae anymore if that was the case. At most, it could only last for a few short minutes. Now, the people that she had ignored and forgotten began to move.

Athenae players suddenly felt threatened. A being that they could not even dare to fight against had appeared. And since a being that they could not reach no matter how hard they struggled seemed, they had to make them see that it was not the case. And this was something that only the most potent NPCs and players of the Beyond the Heavens Empire could do. They had to show them that they could fight back against Helenia.

Shwaaaaaaaaaaaa–!

Spear God Ben fell swiftly from the sky above while he used his ultimate power.

“Absolute Pinnacle Spear.”

Vwoooooooooong–!

A powerful force shot out from the tip of Ben’s God Piercing Spear and collided with one of the Disses flying toward Minhyuk. When Minhyuk turned his head, he saw Spear God Ben smiling faintly. Minhyuk again used Like the Wind and swiftly passed by the old veteran.

And in the sky above them, two men with gigantic builds appeared with their swords in hand.

“Mercenary’s Pinnacle Swordsmanship.”

“Great Demon’s Sword of Slaughter.”

Their attack skills instantly destroyed one Diss each. Just like that, they moved to block the Disses one after another. Behind them, a man with golden hair fluttering conjured dozens of Disses to stop the black spears created by the enemy’s Diss.

“Frieeeeeeeeeeend!”

Then, dozens of spears made of golden light collided with the black spears.

Stab– Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab– Stab, stab, stab–

Some of the black spears pierced through the man’s body. However, the man did not forget to raise his left arm and show off the token of their friendship.

Like the Wind.

Minhyuk, who passed by Ali, almost got stabbed by one of the black spears.

Flash–

However, someone appeared above him and pulled him up to the sky.

“Please go on.”

The one who pulled Minhyuk up was his Shadow, Sword of the Gods Luo. Luo held Minhyuk’s arm before spinning around and sending him flying toward Helenia.

Swooooooosh–

Many Disses were flying toward Minhyuk, who was shooting straight for Helenia.

“Minhyuk.”

“Minhyuk.”

Khan, Locke, Genie, Ares, Abel, and the others threw themselves before him and stopped the Disses with their bodies.

Stab– Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab, stab– Stab, stab, stab–

However, the Disses that passed through their bodies continued to shoot forward and reach Minhyuk.

[Vice Guild Master Genie has been forced to log out!]

[Guild Member Khan has been forced to log out!]

[Guild Member Ares has been forced to log out!]

[Your HP has dropped below 70%!]

[Your HP has dropped below 60%!]

Even though the black spear only grazed his body, it still shaved off a huge chunk of his HP. Once again, Minhyuk used Like the Wind. Then, after Minhyuk traveled several dozen meters with the power of the Great Spirit of Wind, a man appeared before him.

“...Go.”

The man was Calauhel. Calauhel once viewed Minhyuk as his bitter rival. However, now, he trusted and cared for Minhyuk more than anybody else. And at this very moment, Calauhel knew what the Beyond the Heavens Empire and Minhyuk needed to do.

Baaaaaaaaaaang–

Calauhel pulled out the God-rank shield that he purchased with a vast amount of money and used it to block the Disses coming their way.

Crack, crack, crack, crack–!

Even a God-rank shield could not endure the power of the attack. It slowly began to crack and break apart. The Disses pierced through Calauhel’s body. However, his eyes never left Minhyuk’s figure.

Flash–

Minhyuk, who used the Great Spirit of Wind’s Sky Leap to step into the sky and avoid the disses, turned to look at Calauhel. He caught sight of the man’s slight smile.

[Guild Member Calauhel has been forced to log out!]

Helenia looked at Minhyuk. Many people sacrificed themselves to prevent the Disses she sent and allow this man to advance and approach her. Each time, someone would appear to help him out and prevent the Diss from piercing his body.

Minhyuk quickly fused the Great Spirit of Wind’s power with his own.

“Food God’s Swordsmanship.”

It was a much weaker and even more trivial skill than the Sword of Carnage. However, it had received the power and blessings of the Great Spirit of Wind.

Shwaaaaaaaaaa–

As a storm gathered at the tip of Minhyuk’s sword, the Great Spirit of Wind helped him again and allowed him to travel thirty meters in one go.

“Sword of Frenzy.”

Staaaaaaaaab–!

Helenia only blinked once, but Minhyuk was already in front of her when she opened her eyes. Minhyuk immediately grabbed her by the collar with one hand and stabbed her heart with a sword using the other.

[Your HP has dropped below 96%!]

Even though Minhyuk had stabbed her vital point using a God-grade swordsmanship Sword of Frenzy that was fused with the power of the Great Spirit of Wind, he could only shave 4% off of her HP.

Regardless, Minhyuk looked up and made eye contact with Helenia. Then, he looked at her arrogantly and said, “Get lost.”

Fwoosh–

At that moment, Helenia shuddered, goosebumps rising all over her body. For the first time, she felt fear and terror.
