Chamber of the Transcendent: Canales (3)

The most efficient way to block a magic attack is to use a counterattack of the corresponding element.

The attribute of the magic attack currently coming at us is fire.

Of course, to block this, we need to utilize the water attribute.

No way.

But my opinion on this was negative.

This fire is not at the level where simply using water attribute magic can block it.

The overwhelming origin of this attack is likely the Transcendent Dragon.

As such, the intensity is on a different level compared to regular magic attacks.

In fact, thats exactly how it feels.

This is, without a doubt, a fire energy that is more intense and deeper than any fire Ive seen so far.

I dont have a suitable water magic.

Moreover, I dont have a water magic powerful enough to cover this much fire.

The most effective of my water magics, [New Wave], has already been used.

If I could summon As, I could bring out a few good water magics.

But unfortunately, theres no water here to summon As, and even if I did summon it, theres a high chance it would be nullified by a specific barrier, just like with Fluvius.

Juyeon, hold on tight!

Okay!

The only solution is one.

If I cant block it, I can only evade.

I made all the judgments in less than a second and immediately moved to lift up Juyeon.

Since Juyeon doesnt have any physical enhancement runes, I had to use my own stats to move together.

Frenzy. Dragon Transformation.

Without hesitation, I used buff skills in succession.

My abilities, which were around 80-90, instantly rose to the 150 range.

The most important of these is speed.

My speed of 87 recorded 157.

Feeling the surging speed of my body, I immediately utilized [Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven].

I have to run.

I had to charge in the opposite direction of the incoming fire.

That was the first method to evade this magic attack.

Haaaaah!

Fwooosh- Bababam-

Kuguugu-!!

Gathering my resolve, I started a frenzied charge.

Generally, if the rune level of a charge-type rune is high enough, the speed stat doesnt matter too much.

Just looking at the two contractors I have right now, its evident.

Ass charge with [Underwater Sprint] was unstoppable, and Tyrbons charge with the Rapid Riding effect of [Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven] was also quite reckless.

Considering their speeds are 35 and 63 respectively, its quite remarkable.

But speed influence is not entirely absent.

However, that doesnt mean speed has no effect at all.

Utilizing high speed can

Naturally make the charge more effective.

My buffed speed of 157 was powering the [Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven] to a degree beyond imagination.

Boom! Kwang!

Fwoosh-!!

Kuguugu-!!

Its easy to lose them.

The raging fire and explosions were gradually growing more distant.

I could feel it from the sound and heat dissipating.

I felt a glimmer of hope in the arduous dungeon clearance.

Anyway, the interior structure of this <Chamber of the Transcendent> dungeon is a vast wasteland.

No matter how extensively the Transcendent unleashes magic attacks, it cannot cover the entire expansive wasteland.

The Dragon is not limitless in magic, and even if it were, there would be a limit to how much of the dungeon interior it can fill with magic attacks at once.

But

Jae-hyun, in front!

Juyeon, who is being carried by me.

Her sudden shout.

Apparently, she saw something appear in front of her.

I, maintaining the trance-like charge, immediately turned direction.

Whew!

Normally, changing direction mid-charge is impossible.

Charge-type runes grant speeds beyond my control, so I cant easily manipulate the direction.

But [Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven] is the top-tier rune among charge-type runes.

It even has the direction change effect of the lower-tier [Rage Rush], allowing for a quick and smooth charge transition.

Fwoosh-!!

Kwaaang-!!

The fire just barely missed us.

I could feel the intense heat on my arm.

And the tremendous explosion sound coming from right behind.

Just from the unnatural power and sound, I knew.

This is absolutely.

Not something that can be canceled out by my fire resistance ability or water magic.

I almost got hit.

Moreover, the situation has changed.

The fire attacks were not just coming from behind.

It was attacking us head-on from the front as well.

It appeared so abruptly, as if bursting from the ground, and if not for Juyeons marking, we would have directly faced the fire attack.

I had to focus on the new variables in front of me again.

Maintaining my gaze forward, I continued the charge.

Boom! Kwaaang!

Fwooosh- Fwurrrr-

One, two, three

Seven, eight, nine

Too many fireballs to even count were whizzing past us.

Damn It never ends.

Marking as many as I could with Juyeon on my back, our cooperative charge managed to evade the fire attacks.

But crushingly, there was no end in sight.

The fire attacks appearing in front of us just kept increasing in number.

Multiplying, and multiplying again.

The uncontrollable spreading flames had reached a point where simply changing direction was no longer enough.

Fire was everywhere.

Damn Accel Piercing.

The situation had become too dangerous.

Not just me charging, but Juyeon on my back could be struck at any moment.

I had no choice but to bring out [Wyvern Spear] using the Act of Weapon Exchange.

There was no other option.

If all the paths to evade by charging were blocked

I had to directly pierce through that blocked wall.

Fwooosh-

Fwurrr-!!

[Accel Piercing] is not a simple physical attack.

It combines physical and magic attacks, enabling it to instantly tear apart the target.

Even if the target is magic-composed fire energy, it is no exception.

Tsss- Tsutsu-

Swoooosh-!!

The moment [Accel Piercing] pierced through, I quickly imbued it with water attribute.

Using the special effect Change Strike of [Elemental Master], to ensure it passes through even more decisively.

Thanks to that, the seemingly solid fire barrier was ultimately pierced by my spear.

Juyeon, shield!

Okay!

At that moment, I quickly asked Juyeon to deploy a [Magic Barrier].

Even with many safety measures, the remaining heat could still harm us.

I needed to fully suppress the backlash.

The best judgment in the worst situation.

Even in that brief moment, we found an effective solution and acted.

Thanks to that, 10 minutes after the trial began, we were able to reach this point without sustaining any significant damage.

But

Dangerous.

The situation was not all good.

We were actually entering a real crisis.

[Accel Piercing] is a skill that has conditions to use, so it is undoubtedly powerful.

It managed to pierce through the Transcendent Flames that I thought I couldnt block directly.

However, there is one weakness.

That is, using the skill interrupts my charge.

This is no problem in the usual offensive situation where I use charge, but in the current evasion situation, it is a critical flaw.

Armor Weapon!

Conveniently, Juyeon seems to have finished her preparation.

Immediately after landing, she used a skill.

A defensive-type skill that I had also experienced before.

The flames she created were to try to overcome the current crisis as much as possible.

Fwoosh-

Fwurr

But still, blocking fire with fire is apparently difficult.

Juyeons fire barrier was instantly consumed by the greater Transcendents flames.

And with an even more intense force, it started rushing towards us again.

Power Break.

Seeing that, I made a decision.

I will use all the skills I have.

After all, once this trial is over, <Chamber of the Transcendent> will be cleared.

I dont need to hold back my abilities and skills.

Boom! Kuguugu-

Jjeojeojeok-

The ground right behind us started moving.

[Power Break] can momentarily transform the ground through magic, changing the structure of the terrain and landscape.

With a massive vibration, the ground cracked and a huge chasm, like a cliff, was formed.

As a result, the incoming flames could not cross the gap and were instead drawn into the crevice.

The rear was now safe from the raining flames.

And

Flow like a raging stream.

I didnt hold back even my ultimate skill.

[True Flowing Sword].

Among my defensive-type skills, this is now the one with the highest performance, if not an outright ultimate.

Especially with the characteristics of the [Brave Eternal Waves] rune, the power of water is infused into the skillIn a situation covered in fire like now, this ultimate skill can display an even greater effect.

Swoosh, Aaaaah-!!

Kugagagaga-!!

Instantly, a sphere of water was generated around me, and it soon transformed into thrusting water strikes shooting in all directions.

The power of [True Flowing Sword] had already been thoroughly proven.

The water strikes possessing both defensive and counter attacking power relentlessly covered the area, neutralizing the flames.

After using [Accel Piercing] to pierce through the flames,

This was a satisfying counterattack striking the Transcendents attack once again.

It was a refreshing retaliation.

Cant let my guard down.

While all the planned attacks succeeded, I did not let my guard down.

Ive missed chances like this more than a few times before.

Here, I had to erect a barrier that could withstand the magic present and absent.

I quickly reached out to the ground and looked back.

Juyeon, help me amplify the magic here on this side

Jae-hyun.

But Juyeons stiffened expression.

Her gaze fixated on the opposite direction

Told me that the situation had once again taken a difficult turn.

Damn it.

Turning my head, I faced the despair head-on.

I had anticipated it, but the speed is too fast.

And too powerful.

This damned Transcendent has created an even more intense flame

And is now unleashing it directly at us.
