Chapter 151: Outside, Battlefield Of The Gods (7)

Ugh!

As Cain stepped back, his face was twisted in frustration.

Didnt you say you dont believe in gods? That youre not an apostle!

Im not an apostle. Its just something I received.

Dont joke with me!

Cain shouted angrily.

He couldnt accept Taesans words.

In his world, he was one of the greatest warriors.

He possessed a power rare to find in any nation, and even emperors would hesitate to speak carelessly before him. Everyone he met bowed in reverence.

Even hundreds of excellent warriors couldnt defeat him, and natural disasters seemed to diminish in his presence.

He was full of pride.

He believed he was unbeatable in this generation and among the strongest in history.

But even he had not received the apostles contract until now.

An apostle was a lifetime guardian by the side of a god.

Even warriors considered greater than him had spent their lives unable to attain this position.

It was only as a special case to defeat Taesan that he was barely able to make a contract.

But Taesans words were different.

He said he didnt believe in gods and that it was just a favor from a god.

Cain could never accept that.

Thats an insult to us!

Insult or whatever.

Taesan was indifferent.

Cain, showing intense emotion, swung his sword down.

It was the strike of an apostle, hard to dodge or deflect, filled with unstoppable power.

Taesan swung his sword.

Clash.

As their swords collided, Taesan twisted his wrist. His sword slipped past Cains, targeting his chest.

Hmph!

Predicting the counter, Cain sneered and withdrew, lifting his sword.

Cains hilt aimed at Taesans head.

Clang!

The pommel hit Taesans sword blade.

Sss.

And Cains wrist was cut.

What, what?

Cain grasped his wrist, stepping back in shock.

How?

He was sure he had dodged Taesans counter and attacked back. And Taesan had blocked his attack.

Yet, suddenly, his wrist was cut.

Though it was incomprehensible, Taesan seemed to have anticipated it and immediately rushed towards him.

Ugh!

Cain gritted his teeth and swung his sword again.

Their swords collided once more.

[You have triggered a counter.]

Like before, Taesan deflected Cains sword. Cain smoothly gathered his strength for a counterattack. Taesan was forced into a defensive position.

Sss.

[150 damage to Cain.]

But like before, a slight wound appeared on Cains wrist.

Taesan shook his sword.

This time a damage window appeared.

Until now, it hadnt shown up. Thinking back, a damage window appeared during the fight with the angel in Vekveta, but it didnt with ordinary people.

Does a damage judgment occur for those directly involved with gods?

This, what is this

Cain couldnt understand.

It was supposed to be a situation favorable to him, yet he was the one getting injured.

His face, already agitated, twisted further.

Youre using filthy sorcery!

Cain took it as if Taesan was using magic or black magic, not swordsmanship.

For Taesan, it was a frustrating misunderstanding.

This is my swordsmanship.

Dont make me laugh! Is there such swordsmanship?

Whether you believe it or not.

This was Taesans swordsmanship.

Crafted in front of the God of Swords and certified by the ghost.

[You have triggered Strong Blow.] Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Kaaaang!

Uh!

Cains arm was pushed back. Until now, their strength seemed equal, but with the sudden difference, Cain was inevitably shaken.

Taesan immediately closed in and swung his sword again. Cain hurriedly adjusted his stance to block the attack.

It was the best action for Cain but also exactly what Taesan aimed for.

Kaaaang!

He also acquired a new skill.

[You have defeated the apostle of a god. You have obtained the special activation skill [Apostle Slayer].]

Do you get the title God Slayer if you kill a god?

The ghost didnt give a clear answer, trailing off in an ambiguous voice.

Taesan, who had asked jokingly, didnt pay much attention and looked at the system window.

[You have dealt with the last disciple of the flamboyantly decorated God of Swords. The flamboyantly decorated God of Swords has been expelled from the Battlefield of Gods.]

[The gods of the Labyrinth are satisfied.]

[The God of Swords smiles quietly. He is very satisfied with your actions.]

Through the crack in the sky, a great power escaped.

It must be the flamboyantly decorated God of Swords.

This marked the end.

Only Taesan remained in the Battlefield of Gods.

[Special Quest Success]

With the success window, the world began to crack. Like a shattered mirror world, the space started to crumble.

[Returning to the Labyrinth.]

As the world fragmented, Taesan entered the Labyrinth for the last time.

Finally, it was over.

Taesan sheathed his sword.

This quest would have been impossible if not for me.

[Probably so.]

Cain had obtained the power of an apostle.

Even if it werent against Taesan, Mantra would have likely granted the apostolic authority to their champion if a being from the Labyrinth threatened the battlefield.

Otherwise, he would have come down and killed them himself.

It was an enemy that couldnt have been defeated without Taesans apostle transformation.

And Cain was strong in his own right.

Though he didnt put up much resistance and was defeated by Taesan, his swordsmanship was not to be underestimated.

Objectively, Cains strength was at the level of adventurers in the early 40th floors.

An adventurer attempting the 30th floor wouldnt have stood a chance.

[It must have been Mantra's swordsmanship. In reality, the level of swordsmanship itself was quite high. It was just that his proficiency was low, making it easier.]

The ghost seemed to think the same.

[The fact that they didn't know how to counter your swordsmanship made it simpler.]

One of the biggest advantages of my swordsmanship.

Opponents facing it for the first time would not be able to find a counter-strategy. That was the characteristic of Taesans swordsmanship.

The speed of the sword strike suddenly doubled.

The power also doubled suddenly.

In the case of a counter, it was even more so.

The ghost muttered in amazement.

[Did the counter change like that? Isn't this swordsmanship practically saying, 'Don't even try to block it'?]

[Special Activation Skill: Counter]

[Mana Consumption: 5]

[Proficiency: 39%]

[Counters the enemy's attack, inflicting greater damage. Counters even attacks that cannot be countered.]

[Condition: Advanced Swordsmanship [Ability Sword]

[Condition 1. When you attempt to block and counter an enemy's attack but fail.]

[Condition 2. If the opponent attempts an attack within a certain time after the counter fails.]

[If both conditions are met, you can attack while ignoring the opponent's attack and defense. However, lethal damage is impossible.]

With the effect of the Ability Sword, Taesan could now use counters more actively.

The variable of failing a counter, which Taesan could somewhat control, followed by a guaranteed hit, was enough to confuse the opponent.

In fact, this happened with Cain.

He blocked Taesans counter and attempted an attack.

However, when Taesan ignored the attack and struck him, Cain was greatly flustered and couldnt properly execute his attacks.

The damage itself wasnt significant, but it was a skill that could create a major variable in battle.

Still, its not that easy.

The risk of needing to fail a counter was significant. A guaranteed hit also depended on initiating an attack from his side, so it wasnt a 100% successful condition.

But its still good. It feels like playing a card game.

Taesan muttered. Meeting conditions and drawing effects. It was similar to a card game.

But when do I get the reward?

Quite some time had passed since he returned to the Labyrinth, but there had been no changes.

However, as soon as Taesan finished speaking, the system window appeared.

[Several gods express doubts about the decision of a few gods.]

Doubts?

Before he could even ponder on that, the window continued to appear.

[The God of Choice has listened.]

[The God of Proof has listened.]

[The God of Victory has listened.]

[The Demon God's interference has lessened.]

The interference areas of the gods were being reduced.

[The God of Struggle and Death's interference area has lessened.]

[The God of Swords' interference area has lessened.]

[The God of Magic's interference area has lessened.]

Taesan hesitated.
