Chapter 199: Versus “Ouroboros” Part XIV

“That’s all?”

Wisana continued to ask, sounding like he was disappointed with Shin’s brief answer.

“There’s anything else?”

“Ouroboros is the symbol of alchemy. Its image is a combination of a dragon and a snake circling around to eat its tail. It’s the symbol of the circle of nature. From the beginning to the end. From life to death.”

Hearing the long lecture from the expert, everyone widened their eyes. They got mixed feelings between shock and surprise, especially Maysa, who had just discovered that Wisana was an enthusiastic fan of the alchemy class, too!

“H ...how did you know about this?”

The one who was asked smiled widely, instantly winking at his friend.

“When you’re in doubt, just google it out, baby.” Getting that reply, the one who was so confident that she was so smart paused as she glanced in another direction speechlessly.

“Anyway,” Shin started. “What’s the thing that you’re trying to tell me?”

He demanded the explanation with a stiff voice. Wisana slipped out a chuckle as he smiled at him.

“The rule of transforming one object to another. It won’t be successful if there’s no primary object or the variable. In other words, alchemy will never work, if there’s not this one thing.”

“What’s that thing?” Shin raised his eyebrows.

“The Philosopher’s Stone.”

Hearing that, Shin frowned his eyebrows, feeling confused even more. Like, come on, why would this guy suddenly want to roleplay as an alchemy professor in the middle of the war like this?!

“When will you get to the point, Vincent?”

“I’ll have you destroy the Philosopher’s Stone, aka the hidden form of Ouroboros, Shin. Do you get it now?”

Getting replied so straightly to the point, Shin and the girls looked at each other without understanding, especially Maysa, who seemed to be more doubtful than anyone else.

“How did you know about all this? Don’t tell me that you just googled it again.”

Wisana curled up a big smile, before turning to wink at her like usual.

“Let’s just say I know that.”

“Wait for a second, Vincent,” Shin called him loudly. “What do you mean by destroying the other form of Ouroboros? At least give me the details of how to do that.”

“You just have to attack it as hard as you can. That’s the detail.”

“Huh...?”

He raised his eyebrows confusedly as he listened to the plan. Just the whole philosopher’s stone thing was unreliable enough, and then there was this nonsense and crazy plan of this guy!

Not waiting any longer, Wisana managed to summon the fire element to his hand, before drawing the last sword out. Everyone who was standing around it could feel the heat spreading out because the sword was the fire sword with a large pitch-black blade that had some red magic characters running all over it!

“I can do the attack, but how are you going to drag the other form of the boss out?”

Shin asked with an unsure expression, while Maysa and Waree were looking at Ouroboros and saw that the enormous monster was about to completely heal itself now.

“I’ll take care of that. You just attack it with all you got.”

“I get that, but how are you going to do that?” Shin asked doubtingly.

“I’ll just do it!”

After his words, the tall man rushed forward again fast. And of course, he did not fear or care about restoring his HP at all, even though it was nearly running all out of the bar now!

“Hold on, Wisana!” Maysa tried to call him, but it was too late. The troublemaker was going straight to the battle already. Obviously, Ouroboros was still dangerous, even though all its arms were under the curses because they were thrown at the enemy continuously.

But they were like slow-motion images to Wisana anyway!

Shin looked at this cheeky guy who left the unbelievable plan to him just like that before he rushed to fight the enemy so impulsively like usual. ...Seeing that, he curled up a smirk, then let out a chuckle.

“I guess a hundred lives aren’t enough when staying with this guy.” After that, he summoned the last Longinus out instantly. The spear was pitch-black, thoroughly from the long handle to the blade, decorated with light golden magic characters. Then the owner of lavender eyes touched his lips before moving that hand down to touch the spear handle gently.

“Release the ultimate state, Longinus.”

“Player Shindanai has released the over limit of Longinus. Attention, after the over limit state ends, Longinus spear might be damaged and reduced of the attack points by 10%. Also, player Shindanai will not be able to use Longinus for 8 hours.”

A moment later, Shin’s Longinus started changing its form completely. The black blade shape got more crooked, and there was a pair of wings spreading wide from both sides of it, too...

The true form of Longinus (Dark element)

As fast as his thought, the tall young man let go of the weapon in his hand slowly, sending the black spear floating in the air incredibly. Not wasting any more time, Shin drew the spear back without touching it, in the position that was ready to launch!

Tower Empire

After the last ultimate was called, Shin’s spear started to have a black aura swirling around it as a sign that it was now charging the energy to attack in one shot soon.

“This skill...”

Waree who was watching Shin charging the ultimate narrowed her eyes out of surprise.

“Why?” Maysa asked.

“That’s the Tower Empire, the 9th strongest attack skill in the game. Its damage is highly ranked, and it can pierce through any kind of defense, but even so, it requires too many conditions to use. So, I’ve never seen someone use it with my own eyes before either.”

Waree’s answer made Maysa look at the crusader with a surprised look in her eyes, too. ...What kind of day was this that she had been witnessing three superhumans on the same day. One had some incredible instinct, the other one was an expert in defensive skills with a rare rank S demon, ...and the last one was like a tank and capable of destroying things so easily.

These three should just team up and take over the world next!

BOOM!!!

A second later, the high-speed demon could approach the enemy successfully. Even though many arms were coming after him, Wisana only used a little of his movement to dodge them, or sometimes, the fire blade in his hand attacked it back, making the arm catch on fire!

After he could get close to it, his brain suddenly had the sting pain again. The pair of amber eyes were rolling left and right intensely before they stopped at the center of Ouroboros’ body. And that was all for him to have a bright smile on his face!

“There it is, huh!” Wisana kicked himself up, leaping at it harshly as he released the energy of the sword in full, making the flame blaze all over the blade. And without hesitation, Wisana stabbed the sword in the center of Ouroboros accurately!

920,852!

GEEEEEZE!!!!

The monster screamed out resoundingly. The latest attack from Wisana went straight to destroy the fatal weakness of the monster violently. And when this was successful according to his plan. There was no reason for him to be cautious anymore. So, Wisana retreated without any weapon with him.

“I hated you guys to my guts at first,” Wisana said, then let out a sigh. "But I have to admit that you have helped me a lot. ...Anyway, we need to say goodbye here now.”

He finished speaking, then held out his palm in front of him with a soft smile on his face. ...At the same time, Ouroboros was cured of the pain and saw that its worst enemy was standing still on the floor without any weapon left in his hands. So, it took that as a good opportunity to destroy him!

Five arms were attacking straight at him, but his attractive face still had the smile on there.

But at the same time, the hand that he was holding out was now clenching tightly into a fist!

“Player Wisana has destroyed the 7 curses weapons. Attention, using the crisis nova now will cause the Element Effect phenomenon, and the 7 curses will be permanently destroyed.”

After Jinnie’s voice, Wisana did not have a hesitant expression. There was only that bright smile on his face as usual.

“Goodbye for good now, Oro-oro.”

Crisis Nova (Element Effect!)

Getting the order to destroy themselves, every piece of the weapon that was sticking in each arm of Ouroboros started to have a reaction against itself. Some of them were spinning, while others buried themselves deeper into Ouroboros’ body...

Lightning was appearing around the boss. As well as the flames and ice that circled around that massive body, causing the chaos of all the elements swirling in one spot... Then, there was silence for a moment, before the area vibrated.

BOOM!!!!

442,856,108!

The explosion shook the whole room, making the girls scream out loudly as they fell to the ground. ...The huge amount of smoke was spreading up, as well as the black fire that was blazing like a nuclear bomb just dropped on Hiroshima in front of them...

Unlike the figure of someone who was standing still. Even though he was the nearest one to the explosion, he managed to stand steadily without trembling at all. Those amber eyes were staring in front of them and saw that there were pieces of Ouroboros’ remains dispersing in the area, including the pieces of flesh and burnt arms.

SCREEECH!!!!

He had not looked around thoroughly yet when a scream of a woman came out from the fire in front of him. Wisana curled up a slight smile, ordering Jinnie to do a scan of what was happening right away.

“So, this is your true self, Ouroboros...?” Wisana’s voice had a hint of disgust.

Before his eyes, there was a woman with long black hair that fell all the way to her feet. Her face was beautiful, but it was covered in blood. On her neck, there was a serious wound that made her naked body covered with blood as well. Moreover, above her head, a white snake was slithering out of one of her ears. It was circling back to bite that lady’s head tightly.

“The information about the second state of Ouroboros has been saved.”

Jinnie spoke up softly, making her master smile in acknowledgment.

“Thank you so much, girl. ...This information will probably make many millions if it’s sold to the association of explorers. And Manoch will be incredibly happy about this.”

He said, then looked at the information wearily, because he saw that Ouroboros still had millions of HP left. So, the tall young man let out a long sigh.

“I even gave up all my weapons, and you can still be this tough?”

He looked over to his back and saw the girls sitting on the floor, looking shocked at Ouroboros’ image quite a lot. A second later, he glanced at the other man who was now ready to finish the enemy now!

“Shin!!” Wisana yelled out to him instantly, making the owner of lavender eyes curl up a slight smile.

“I never thought that you would use this tactic in the fight before, Vincent. I have got to admit that you’re really unbelievable as a human being. Damn.” He finished speaking with a chuckle, before stepping his foot in the ready position to launch the spear fully. “...Let this end here, Ouroboros!!”

ZOOOM!!

After that, Shin launched Longinus at the enemy with full force. Those black wings that were spreading out, now shut close the handle to increase the speed for the weapon. Along with the aura that gathered around the blade that seemed to be smaller than those previous ones. But it was incredibly powerful!

The tip of the spear flew straight right at the enemy accurately. Ouroboros that was seriously injured did not get the chance to evade that at all. Within a blink, the spear stabbed into the monster’s chest, piercing it to the back. Before the aura swirled in, and the explosion went off!!

BOOM!!

45,986,102!!
