Transcendence Due To A System Error

Chapter 57: Vagabond



< Chapter 57: Vagabond (3) >

Distelion Ring.

A cheat-like item that ranks high among the ancient relics.

This item has three effects.

[Saint Wall]

[There is light under the sky]

[Prove your evil deeds]

Saint Wall is, as the name implies, the ability to create a wall around me.

Its strength is worthy of being called S-rank.

Ting! Kang! Kagak!

Of course, it’s not without drawbacks.

It’s the ability to form a 5cm diameter wall in the space I perceive, so it’s meaningless if I can’t read the opponent’s attack perfectly.

Ting-!

But I have the Wind’s Path.

I had taken out the Horn of the Sleeping Dragon a long time ago.

“Kahaha! When are you going to pull out that white spear of resolve?”

“When your spear ripens.”

“Kuhu. You knew it all along.”

Vagabond’s ability is [Red Oath], which harmonizes with his spear and draws out great power.

The effect is very simple.

The longer you fight, the more your physical abilities increase, and the rusty spear returns to its original form.

In other words, he gets stronger as time goes by.

That’s why Vagabond shows great power in large-scale battles.

When everyone else is exhausted physically, Vagabond becomes stronger and stronger.

Ching! Kang! Kwaaang!

Saint Wall and spear clashed wildly.

A fierce thrust that left no room for breath.

The red trail that the Wind’s Path pointed to had long exceeded 20.

“Kaha~ So this is how troublesome air supremacy is.”

It was only because I was flying in the sky that it ended like this.

If I had been on the ground, it would have been impossible to stop him, whether I had Saint Wall or not.

“That barrier. It seems to have a lot of magic content. How long are you going to keep defending like that?”

“I told you. Until your spear ripens.”

And the second effect of the Distelion Ring.

[There is light under the sky]

This special ability’s effect is very much linked to [Saint Wall].

The effect is a booster effect that says that magic does not run out under the sky.

“It’s boring in this state, so I’m giving you a break. You idiot.”

In other words, I can use [Saint Wall] infinitely under the sky.

…Ah. Not indefinitely.

There’s a 10-minute duration limit in the first place.

And on top of that, I have a one-minute usage limit.

“Kahaha!”

Vagabond suddenly burst into laughter.

“Indeed, you are an angel. Your arrogance pierces the sky.”

And then he gripped his spear again.

“To think you can say such things in front of this Vagabond―”

The next moment.

“―You’re kidding!”

Vagabond was in front of me.

Whiing-

The Wind’s Path reacted immediately.

A red trail.

One.

Two.

Ten.

Twenty.

Thirty.

It stretches infinitely.

I must have scratched his pride properly.

He couldn’t have used [Spear God’s Barrage] already.

…Well, it’s according to plan!

I quickly formed Saint Wall.

Ting, ting, ting, tiing!

I defended my vital points, including my heart, head, and wings.

Kang! Piik!

I ignored the attacks that didn’t do much damage even if they hit me.

I trusted the durability of the armor I was wearing.

Ziing-

My head felt like it was going to crack.

Using Saint Wall and Wind’s Path together was still too much for me.

But I can bear it.

Kaang! Chiing! Kagak!

…Damn.

I couldn’t believe he swung such a blow without any foothold in the air.

Pik- Chiik-

Vagabond’s barrage.

Spear God’s Barrage continued to add afterimages to my body.

“Kahaha! Is that all? You said such arrogant things with just that?”

The thrust storm didn’t end.

I kept blocking it.

I let go of what I couldn’t block.

I avoided what I couldn’t let go of.

I took what I couldn’t avoid.

“Kuk.”

The attack lasted for more than five seconds.

“Kaha~”

Vagabond landed on the ground, unable to ignore gravity any longer.

“It’s not much to look at.”

He landed and pointed his spear tip at me with a sneer.

My whole body was sticky by now.

Blood.

It was dotted with blood.

It’s okay.

There are no fatal wounds.

I can bear it.

I swallowed the pain and answered indifferently.

“You’re weaker than I thought. Is this all you can do without the Red Oath?”

“Kyaa~”

Vagabond tapped his forehead and exclaimed.

“You really know everything.”

He laughed and shivered, as if he was enjoying something.

I glanced at the time.

40 seconds.

It’s been 40 seconds now.

Soon, the superhumans will enter Vagabond’s detection range.

“Then it’s my turn to counterattack.”

It’s time for me to take action.

I slowly descended to the ground.

“What are you doing?”

Vagabond frowned.

He looked like he was asking if I was giving him a break now.

“Well. There’s a reason why I gave up the air supremacy.”

I can’t show them that I’m flying when the other superhumans come rushing in.

“…Hoo. So you’re finally thinking of doing something serious?”

Vagabond grinned viciously.

“Yeah.”

I’ll do it even if you tell me not to.

I stretched out my hand with the Distelion Ring on it to Vagabond.

“What are you going to do….”

“Prove your evil deeds.”

At that moment.

“Kuk!”

Vagabond’s body shook.

He clutched his head with one hand and twisted.

“This, thing···!”

“Your sins.”

The third special skill of Distelion Ring. [Prove your evil deeds]

The effect is to lower the opponent’s abilities as much as the sins they committed.

The effect lasts exactly 20 seconds.

Considering the evil deeds that Vagabond has done, he should be down by about 3 ranks.

“You, bastard!”

Vagabond rushed at me.

A red trail is visible.

Ten trails.

Considering that I saw more than ten trails in the sky without any foothold, I could tell how much weaker he had become.

* * *

I used Saint Wall.

Kaang-!

At the same time, I gently gripped the greatsword in my right hand and the dagger in my left hand.

Whiik-

The first trail was blocked by Saint Wall.

At the same time, I moved my body forward to avoid the second and third attacks.

The red trail changed as my position changed.

Three trails.

The trails were very crude.

It was a trail that showed Vagabond’s own confusion.

I twisted his body and wrapped the Horn of the Sleeping Dragon with force.

I avoided two trails and deflected the last one with a dagger!

“Kuk!”

With this, Vagabond was defenseless.

I quickly swung my greatsword with my right hand.

But the opponent was Vagabond, a battle maniac.

He must have felt a sense of incongruity in his body due to the sudden decrease in his abilities.

He somehow twisted his body and escaped from the trail of my greatsword.

It was too late to change the trail.

This decisive blow will not reach Vagabond.

Vagabond smiled.

A look of amusement.

A look that said he was enjoying this battle so much that he couldn’t stand it.

I also smiled.

If you can enjoy it, then enjoy it!

Light came from Distelion Ring.

[Saint Wall]

A wall of light created by my perception appeared obliquely on the trail of my sword.

Kkigigigik!

The trail of the sword that could not be twisted by human power,

Kkieek!

It was forcibly twisted by the wall of light.

“!”

Vagabond’s expression hardened.

It turned into horror after it hardened.

…Bastard. You finally have a good expression.

Then I have to finish it off.

Bajjak-

The fur on my body stood up at a right angle. A fierce momentum spewed out.

Piing-!

“…!”

Predator’s Killing Intent.

The roar of the beast tribe that reduces the opponent’s durability by 2 ranks.

At this moment.

Vagabond’s durability was close to D-rank.

Now.

The preparation is all done.

“Hueeeup!”

I gathered all the strength of my body in my right hand.

I gathered magic.

As the Master of the Weapon commands.

As the Wind’s Path points.

As gravity pulls.

And the next moment.

Chwaaaaaaak-!

“Kuaaaak!”

My sword pierced through Vagabond’s flesh.

“…Kuheuk!”

Vagabond quickly moved away.

Blood flowed from a huge wound that started from his right shoulder blade.

“You….”

Unfortunately, it’s not a fatal wound.

Vagabond avoided a fatal wound by twisting his body at the last moment.

“As expected, a battle maniac.”

As expected, Vagabond.

An amazing battle sense.

“…Kuhuhu.”

Vagabond laughed.

“Kahaha!”

He roared, looking up at the sky and holding his wound.

“How long has it been since I’ve felt this wound? How long has it been since I’ve smelled this blood!”

Crazy bastard.

He was indeed a lunatic who was crazy about fighting.

“Good. Very good!”

His blood soaked his spear, ‘the Spear of Red Oath’, with excitement.

“Come on. Let’s fight again.”

At the same time, a red aura began to rise from his body.

The Red Oath began to activate fully.

“Don’t tell me that the angel who dealt with the Great Rift is only this strong.”

At the same time, the [Prove your evil deeds] effect also began to fade away.

“Now, as you said, my spear has ripened.”

Vagabond of B-rank.

He was returning to Vagabond of S-rank.

“The skirmish is over! Now your white spear of determination, you….”

Vagabond’s expression, filled with madness, suddenly hardened.

“…What?”

I lifted my lips up.

Pajijik-

At the same time, sparks flew from Distelion Ring.

[Error!]

A familiar error message.

It indicated that one minute had passed completely.

I took off the ring with trembling hands and put it in a box.

“You bastard.”

At the same time, I twisted my lips.

It was a pity that he couldn’t see my face because I was wearing a mask.

“Do you think I’m crazy enough to fight you one-on-one?”

“…You bastard.”

[Prove your evil deeds] has an effect of reducing the opponent’s abilities.

And this decrease in abilities includes ‘sensation’ as well.

“Didn’t you notice?”

And when the ability called sensation decreases, there is something wrong with the mana detection ability.

Vagabond didn’t notice that the superhumans were approaching.

“You’re now a rat in a trap.”

The next moment.

“Wow. You really did it.”

“That’s right.”

S-rank superhumans appeared.

“Device activation!”

“Activation!”

The retreat blocking trap that I had set up in advance was activated.

“I don’t know who you are, but you did a great job.”

Someone tapped my shoulder and stepped forward.

He was definitely one of the S-rank superhumans belonging to the Shinwa Group.

I don’t remember his name very well.

“Just leave the back to us and rest well.”

This time, Yu Hwa tapped my back and stepped forward.

“You’ve set up such a great trap, we’d be stupid not to use it.”

“He’s a fucking idiot.”

Six S-rank superhumans.

“Don’t be careless! Make a proper formation and focus on blocking the retreat!”

“Leave the battle to the S-rank superhumans!”

Numerous superhumans.

“Bastard.”

I looked at them and smiled.

“Fighting is about brains and connections.”

My plan was a perfect success.

“…Uaaaaaa!”

Vagabond let out a roar full of rage.

* * *

“Huh. Huh.”

“…This crazy bastard.”

The battle was over.

It was a rare large-scale battle in recent times.

Today, the one-to-many battle against Vagabond, an unprecedented villain, will be a valuable data that can answer the question of ‘how to deal with a powerful individual’ and will remain forever.

94 conventional traps installed.

47 explosive traps.

13 superhumans related to battlefield buffs.

4 superhumans related to battlefield debuffs.

5 magic weapons for long-range bombardment.

11 support tanks for long-range bombardment.

13 healers.

8 combat recorders.

It was an operation that poured out a lot of human and material resources.

Not to mention that they prepared thoroughly more than ever, the number of combatants who performed beyond their abilities exceeded half.

However,

Three S-rank superhumans were seriously injured.

The remaining three were slightly injured.

Ten casualties.

Too many wounded to count.

Too much material damage to count.

But they finally won.

It was a victory of meticulous preparation.

In the end, Vagabond, a strong villain, lost his life.

“This crazy bastard… How did that guy who claimed to be an angel fight him alone for a minute?”

Bihon Guild’s S-rank superhuman 209th. Kim Hanul gasped for breath.

He didn’t know how shocked he was by Vagabond, who became stronger as time went by.

“Senior. He seems to be a superhuman belonging to the Shinwa Group. Do you have any information?”

“I don’t know. I only know that he’s a personal acquaintance of Miss Jia.”

Shinwa Group’s S-rank superhuman 107th. Han Changho also breathed heavily.

“It was so hard even though we surrounded him so securely. What if we were attacked or something….”

“Hey. Don’t even say it. It’s horrible.”

Vagabond’s combat power was really amazing.

He became stronger as time went by with [Red Oath] and all kinds of combat duration skills, which made him worthy of the word innovation.

“…Maybe if that superhuman hadn’t wounded him, it would have been harder.”

Yu Hwa, who was healing nearby, joined the conversation.

“It wouldn’t have been harder. It would have been hard. Maybe we would have lost.”

It was that hard of a battle.

A moment of silence passed.

“What is that unidentified superhuman doing now?”

“Well, Miss Jia took him to heal his wounds.”

“Really? Tsk. I wanted to sneak a peek at his face if he was nearby. Who is he?”

Listening to the conversations of other superhumans around him, Yu Hwa got up.

“Guild leader! Your wound treatment is not over yet!”

“It’s okay. This much will heal naturally. Aram, please take care of other more urgent superhumans than me.”

“Oh, yes! Okay.”

Yu Hwa moved to a secluded corner of the ruins.

He took out his phone and turned it on.

[Seo-yul. You worked hard today.]

Yu Hwa smiled.

[Take care of your wounds. Oh. And.]

‘What? Do you have a suitable superhuman to entrust the bait role to Jia?’

Yu Hwa snickered.

The superhuman who took on the role of bait was Kang Seo-yul. For sure.

[Next time, you’ll pay for your lie properly.]

Yu Hwa’s lips drew a playful line.
