Tak!
Siegfried suddenly thought of a great idea while running toward Xanatos.
‘Wait a minute… My HP won’t decrease while the buffs are active. Doesn’t that mean I can activate the third stage of Overclocking without any worries?’
Siegfried could only use the second stage of Overclocking for one minute with his current stats, but he currently had the Saintess’ buffs, which meant he didn’t have to be afraid of anything.
‘Let’s give it a shot,’ Siegfried thought as he cranked up his skill.
Bzzt! Bzzzzt!
A powerful lightning current burst out of him, and it abruptly turned golden the moment he activated Adamant Body.
Wooong!
Siegfried mustered his mana.
Bzzzt!
The powerful golden current spun like a vortex around him as he entered the second stage of Overclocking.
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your HP!]
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your Mana!]
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your Stamina!]
Siegfried was completely unharmed despite entering the second stage of Overclocking, thanks to the Saintess.
‘Let’s go! Third stage!’
Siegfried took the risk and entered the third stage.
Shwaaaa!
Siegfried turned into an entirely different creature the moment he entered the third stage of Overclocking. He was surrounded by golden lightning as if he were the incarnation of the God of Lightning.
Blue and red sparks danced about him as he entered the third stage of Overclocking.
[Alert: All stats have increased by 500%!]
The message that popped up in front of Siegfried’s eyes was shocking.
Five hundred percent?!
It was indeed a ridiculous figure, but it did not come without a price.
[Siegfried van Proa]
[HP: ??????????]
[Mana: ??????????]
[Stamina: ??????????]
Siegfried’s HP, Mana, and Stamina dropped to zero the moment he entered the third stage. The fact that it dropped to zero just by entering the third stage meant that he was going to experience instant death the moment he stepped into the third stage.
However, he was fine.
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your HP!]
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your Mana!]
[Alert: Saintess Janette is replenishing your Stamina!]
He was receiving unlimited support from the Saintess right now.
[Siegfried van Proa]
[HP: ??????????]
[Mana: ??????????]
[Stamina: ??????????]
Saintess Janette’s sustain was like a bottomless spring that fully replenished his HP, Mana, and Stamina in the blink of an eye. This meant that Siegfried’s stats were repeatedly hitting zero and one hundred multiple times in a fraction of a second.
‘I’m immortal right now.’ Siegfried could tell that the Saintess’ sustain wouldn’t let him die. He set his sights on Xanathos and walked toward the demon.
“Do you really think that you can defeat me just because that wench is helping you?!” Xanatos growled after getting up from the ground. The demon sneakily threw a punch the moment Siegfried entered punching range, but Siegfried reacted much faster than the demon.
Bam!
He smacked the demon’s fist with his +15 Gaia’s Fist.
Kwachik!
The demon’s fist caved in and dangled from the demon’s wrist like a withered leaf, astonishing everyone.
“H-How is this possible…?!” Xanatos exclaimed in disbelief. It only had to punch the Adventurer a few times to kill the latter, but the latter suddenly became exponentially stronger in the span of a few seconds.
However, even Siegfried himself was shocked by his power.
‘What the hell? Why am I so strong?’
He could have never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that he would one day destroy the fist of a Level 300 Named Demon in just a single hit.
“This can’t be happening—”
“Hey, quit yapping.” Siegfried cut the demon off before adding, “It’s time for you to get some beating.”
Pukeok!
Siegfried started beating the Level 300 Named Demon up with his +15 Gaia’s Fist. It was an unbelievable sight. He was one-sidedly beating a Master-level monster.
***
“SON OF A…!” Chae Hyung-Seok’s screams of despair reverberated across the battlefield. “WHY! WHYYYYY! Why am I the unlucky one?! Why is that bastard so lucky?! WHYYYY?!”
He felt wronged. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ally with a demon and conquer an empire had come only for it to disappear like a mirage after the emergence of the Saintess.
In addition, the Saintess decided to help Siegfried.
Chae Hyung-Seok couldn't understand why Siegfried was so lucky.
Why?
How come?
Unfortunately, Chae Hyung-Seok had become quite short-sighted. He immediately reached the conclusion that Siegfried was simply lucky, but that wasn’t the case at all, as Siegfried was far from lucky.
He had simply done his best at all times, which allowed him to grab whatever opportunity in front of him.
A good example of this was fighting and risking his life against Xanatos, who had disguised himself as the pope. It was more than enough of a reason for the Saintess to step in and choose him out of the numerous people on this battlefield.
In other words, Siegfried’s act of righteousness was the impetus for his luck that allowed him to be selected by the Saintess.
But what about Chae Hyung-Seok?
He had decided to help a demon just for the sake of making money. He was only concerned about sucking the Constantine Holy Empire dry through the demon.
The Saintess would have chosen both Siegfried and him if he hadn’t been shameless enough to help a demon for his own profit…
Crack…!
Chae Hyung-Seok gnashed his teeth so strongly that one could hear his teeth crack. It seemed that he was either oblivious to his own mistakes or was simply ignoring them.
“No! This can’t be! I risked so much for this opportunity! I can’t let this go! Fuck that Saintess or whatever! I’m going to kill them all…!” Chae Hyung-Seok growled under his breath before he poured out all of the buffs in his arsenal onto Xanatos.
However, his buffs were utterly useless.
Fwaaaa! Fwaaaaaah!
Siegfried’s Blaze Field was overpowering his buffs. The Debuff Master’s abilities were now in the realm of a Master, and it was all thanks to the third stage of Overclocking.
Of course, Siegfried couldn’t have done this without the Saintess’ help.
Anyway, Siegfried was turning Xanatos into a rag, despite Chae Hyung-Seok’s buffs.
Bam! Bam! Pukeok!
“Ack! Ack! Kwaaak! S-Stop! Enough! Stop hitting me…!” Xanatos pleaded, which was unbefitting of a demon. However, Siegfried completely ignored the demon’s desperate pleas and continued pummeling the demon.
He had already gotten so used to beating people with his mace that he didn’t particularly feel anything while doing it. Unbeknownst to Siegfried, his indifference made him look like a psychopath while delivering a brutal beating to the demon.
“Kill that bitch! We need to kill that bitch!” Chae Hyung-Seok screamed while pointing at the Saintess.
Chwak!
However, a sword suddenly blocked his path.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
The sword that blocked his path was Brunhilde’s Holy Sword: Phoenix.
Brunhilde had gotten back on her feet after getting healed by the Saintess. She pointed her holy sword at Chae Hyung-Seok’s neck and said, “You will pay for your sins of helping a demon with your—”
“Y-You fucking bitch…!” Chae Hyung-Seok growled.
“...life,” Burnhilde said before swinging her sword diagonally.
Slash!
A diagonal line abruptly appeared on Chae Hyung-Seok’s right leg before—
Thud…!
—his leg dropped to the ground.
Tak!
Siegfried suddenly thought of a great idea while running toward Xanatos.
‘Wait a minute… My HP won’t decrease while the buffs are active. Doesn’t that mean I can activate the third stage of Overclocking without any worries?’
