Kill the Queen (4)

Unique Spiritual Art: Transcendence.

Hollien created it after she became one of the Top Four.

The public gave her the nickname Transcendental in awe of her amazing power, meaning that she was beyond death.

So Hollien thought.

Now that I am called the Transcendental, shall I develop a reasonable skill to match the name? And give it the name of Transcendence!

It was like the tail was wagging the dog.

Afterward, she had worked hard for a long time with the Sword King Baotolt, the Thunder King Garhan, and Archmage Genovia.

In the end, she created a miracle that penetrated through the worlds flow and escaped from reality, becoming absent.

Only, it didnt work out as expected.

Originally, she wanted to invent an invincible defense method that would consistently cross between reality and conceptuality.

However, it was impossible after completing it.

Once she returned from her absence to her real state, it was over.

She couldnt go back to becoming a mere concept.

It was impossible to return because the flow of the world had already been disrupted.

Once she stayed at least 100 kilometers away, she could reuse it.

Or she had to wait more than three days for the chaotic world to regain its original state.

In other words, she couldnt use Transcendence twice in one battle.

Its my last resort. Once I use it, its over.

With a bitter smile, Hollien looked at Kibie.

I never thought Id get this far

But at that moment, it was no use how strong they were.

No decisive blow nor transcendent seals would work.

They couldnt do anything to someone who didnt exist.

* * *

A relentless offensive was executed against Hollien.

Valtaras Three Swords sliced through her, the spear of darkness divided the air, and all kinds of Aura skills and magic swordsmanship techniques bombarded her.

The nine fire dragons of the Dea X Apocalypse also continued to cause merciless waves.

Nevertheless, there wasnt even a scratch on Hollien.

She shook her head with a bitter smile.

I told you, it doesnt work.

Ryu Han-bin muttered, gnashing his teeth.

Oh, my God, Ive been through this before, havent I?

He had encountered the unidentified black shadow in the countryside.

He wasnt sure if it was a ghost or something, but it was similar to the black demon that never went through any attack.

Then!

Like then, the situation had to be solved through counterattack at the moment of attack.

Han-bin revealed his whole body and shouted.

Good! Come on! Kill us all!

Hollien shook her head.

Unfortunately, I cant attack in this state either.

And she smiled quietly at Dea X Apocalypse, the seal of the air.

But theres no problem for me to get out of here.

That was the real reason why she ignored the Holy Punishers trap.

Even if they had the Sword King Baotolt, she was at least confident of escaping.

Ryu Han-bin turned pale.

Shed better attack us.

If she left the range of the seal, then theyd have no countermeasure left.

They locked the greatest Spiritist on Latna up with their full power. If she escaped, she would gain all of her power back!

They had to stop her.

But how?

They showed all the cards they had already prepared.

There was nothing left to use.

No, there was one left.

It was the skill that had killed Uto Ksarik, one of the three divine beasts of Kaltan.

The Lord throughout Heaven and Earth

But thats

* * *

Kibie spoke, confirming the skill.

Its a great ability. I can see why the demon put this in the Guideline. It must be for the murder of a Goddess.

And she shook her head as if she was sad.

But it wont work for Hollien.

When Han-bin checked Holliens level, Kibie still followed him despite the risks.

That was all for the sake of finding out the status of the divinity of the darkness, stolen by the Top Three.

Hollien couldnt reach the divinity of the darkness. Shes still a mortal.

There was a slight gap in the demonic power of the Top Three.

It had allowed Kybriels will, Kibie, to escape.

And Hollien still hadnt filled that gap.

If she is above level 170, she is likely to reach the divinity, but Im sure she hasnt touched it yet.

In other words, the Transcendental had reached that level purely on her own.

Since part of her power didnt include divinity like the divine beast, she didnt have enough level to degrade with the skill, Lord throughout Heaven and Earth.

You will consume tons of Aura for no reason, and its going to be over.

As always, Ryu Han-bin showed regret that time.

Uh, maybe the Goddesss blessing will disappear?

Kibie shook her head firmly.

A Goddesss blessing is a power from the divinity, not the divine itself.

Latna was also a world blessed by the six Goddesses.

Nevertheless, the skill, Lord throughout Heaven and Earth, couldnt destroy the world.

It had already been confirmed.

It didnt work for Leon Hart, did it?

Oh, right.

The third to be blessed by the goddesses, who were listening next to her, broke out in a cold sweat.

Would have I gotten older again if it went wrong?

In a quiet voice, Kibie finished speaking.

Even if you increase your concentration to meet the conditions, the Goddesss blessing wont disappear. Its different.

* * *

Kibie was the incarnation of darkness. In other words, she was an expert on divinity.

It was unlikely that she would be mistaken.

But at that moment

I cant help but gamble!

There were no countermeasures left anyway.

Then it wouldnt be bad if he spent more Aura, right?

They were already facing the worst situation anyway!

Holding his Gigant, Ryu Han-bin focused.

Then he invoked it.

Skill of the Absolute: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth!

The invisible force flowed for a while and disappeared.

It was the same as before.

There was no change in Hollien.

[Race: Nymph. Spiritist Lv. 155]

Huh? What did you do?

Hollien tilted her head curiously for a moment.

Han-bin wasnt disappointed.

Not yet!

That alone didnt meet the conditions.

Not yet!

The concentration of the Aura was needed.

Again, the giant warrior kicked the ground and stretched out his greatsword.

Taaaaaa!

The flash of scarlet flowed along the blade, creating three beams of light.

He took the right posture, followed the proper flow, and continued to attack.

Triple Cross Attack, Cross Impact!

The same perfect attacks that had blown up Uto Ksarik, the level 168 divine beast, hit Holliens conceptualized image.

The whole canyon vibrated, and red light burned like the sun.

And

What the hell do you want to do?

Hollien shrugged as if she didnt understand.

Han-bin knelt.

His Fighting Spirit was being depleted due to the massive use of Aura.

Damn

Luck, of course, didnt come as expected.

* * *

Looking back at everyone, Hollien spoke quietly.

Youve done enough.

Her face was calm, void of her typical arrogance.

Thats great. I admire you guys.

Her fantasy spread the wings of light.

Then she slowly began to rise.

She flew over the grain, ignoring the six Templar Lords attacks who hadnt given up yet.

And she went outside of the seal without any resistance.

Nothing could stop her because she didnt exist.

If it were Baotolt, he would have run away

Hollien freed the skill, Transcendence.

She was back in her original state.

After taking a position, she aimed carelessly at the target.

Unique Spiritual Art: Broken Ruptures of Sunset.

The sun fell.

The flames burned through the dome.

Dea X Apocalypse was as vulnerable to external attacks as its invulnerability to internal attacks.

In an instant, the disposition of the Great Destruction Fire collapsed.

Boom!

Everyone groaned, watching the scene.

Argh

Oh, my God

Hollien looked down on them without any emotions.

She looked pretty exhausted.

However, even at that moment, exhausted, she had to be the absolute ruler.

I will not kill you. You deserve my mercy.

The strongest Spiritist recovered her power and took a position.

Four-star pillars soared all over the canyon.

Unique Spiritual Art: Echoes of Trembling Starlight.

Countless flashes of destruction covered Han-bin and the six Templar Lords.

They tried their best to avoid it, block it, fly away from it, and even use the Blink mana tools

Argh!

Ugh!

But the destructive power of her spiritual art was too strong.

Its range was also too wide.

The Transcendentals spiritual art outside of Dea X Apocalypse was simply overwhelming.

Everyone was covered in blood.

The only safe one was Artis, who had been manipulating the seal.

What the fuck do you mean by mercy!

In anger, he pulled all of his mana up and cast a spell.

He poured out all of his most powerful flame magic spells, charged with the Spell-Saving Staff, and invoked all the magic tools he had.

Die, you monster!

Of course, it didnt work at all.

Im so ashamed of myself. I did use the skill Transcendence against these people.

At first glance, it sounded like a mockery, but Hollien was sincere.

It was like an adult argued against a child and eventually pulled out a knife.

Fall.

She shook her hand lightly.

Artiss staff was broken, and the entire robe burned.

His magic tools and artifacts broke into pieces and scattered all over the place.

Argh!

Hollien smirked at all the clutter rolling around the floor.

Hes carrying a bunch of stuff.

Hollien didnt kill the young wizard.

Cause Ive got Kybriels incarnation anyway.

Unconsciously, Hollien was about to turn to Kibie.

Suddenly she stopped moving.

And she stared carefully at the things on the ground.

Huh?

Hollien blinked and picked up a small box.

It was a cheap magic toolbox that was sold at a magic tool store.

It was too insignificant for the Transcendental to be interested in.

Nevertheless, her jaw dropped.

She looked genuinely surprised.

Hollien looked back at Artis.

Why do you have this?

Despite the pain, Artis wondered.

Whats that?

It was so long ago, and he couldnt remember right away because he had carried so many things.

Shortly after, Hollien smashed the box.

The black crystal fragment inside flew into the air.

Oh!

He finally remembered.

It was an unidentified object that leaked from an Alien who had fallen in the trading city of Highten.

A message containing information about the black crystal sculpture appeared in front of Holliens eyes.
