Chapter 91_ Undefeated King (7)

The surroundings turned black. A very large shadow obscured the sun, causing the illusion that night had suddenly come.

『 Keep your selfish desire to yourself. 』

The existence that spoke solemnly while raising his two giant eyes.

The Insane Dragon—no, it was Nevartan, the Ancient Black Dragon who was freed from the curse after he was helped by Lexus in the past. The curse that had been engraved in Nevartan's mind was extinguished.

"Oh, I'm surprised. There's no sign of madness in you anymore."

Chiyou replied back to Nevartan. Though Nevartan sounded rude, he wasn't offended nor he became scared about the arrival or the return of the strongest dragon.

Lexus is also aware that he was also a selfish being who did favors for others in order to 'die.' Just like the case of Baal that will never die as long as humanity feels the concept of fear, Chiyou will never perish unless humanity perishes. However, humanity can never perish. The moment that Yatan, the dragons or someone else destroys the world, Rebecca will immediately recreate a new world and humanity. Then Chiyou will once again be created by them.

He was immortal in the truest sense as he was the gathering of all the martial power that humans wished for.

That's why he has a desire for his own extinction. However, EVERYTHING believes in him. All living creatures that desire strength, provided him an enormous amount of faith which boosts his divinity.

『 Tch. Despite the fact that I can kill you, it would be pointless if you were to simply resurrect like that cockroach Baal. 』

Chiyou was saddened. Although Nevartan is strong and has the capability to kill him, a dragon couldn't qualify to end his eternal life. Only the god killer can do this but not a single one has emerged. That's why Chiyou was obsessed with god killers.

"Yoh! It's been a while, Nev."

『 …Nev! ?. Don't casually change my glorious name! 』

Nevartan who polymorph into his human form, became flustered when Lexus addressed him like that.

『 But well it's still funny how you made a fool of Baal. 』

Lexus tilted his head in confusion, not knowing what Nevartan was saying. However, he shrugged his head off and thought of something. Knowing Chiyou's circumstances, Lexus decided to take advantage of him.

"Anyway, you want me to become a God Killer, right?"

"That's right. Millions of millennia have passed but I've never seen anyone as outstanding as you. That's why I'm certain. If given plenty of time and opportunity, you'll definitely be able to threaten me."

"Hmm… I see."

As Lexus nodded his head, he then explained to Chiyou that he has a skill that can copy the abilities of the target. No opponent would normally agree to have their skill be imitated or stolen. However, Chiyou was not an ordinary fellow.

"That's wonderful."

Without hesitation, he gave his permission to use Plunderer on the absolute to make the skills of Lexus reach the ultimate forms.

[Martial God Chiyou's blessing has fallen and you has been strengthened.]

As Chiyou wholeheartedly agreed, Lexus immediately contacted his partner.

'Ciel, I'll leave the rest to you.'

With that Lexus was thrilled.

['Martial God's Secret Technique' has been acquired.]

[Due to enlightenment, the skill Undefeated King's Swordsmanship and has been strengthened to the extreme.]

[Undefeated King's Rage, Blacksmith's Rage and all buff skills will be combined.]

[Gained enlightenment and integrated the mastery skills. Complete Sword Mastery, Madra's Mastery... and Master Bow Mastery are merged.]

[The Legendary Blacksmithing Skill, Legendary Tailoring Skill and Legendary Mining Skill have combined to evolve into a new technique...]

And so, the ability synthesis, courtesy of Ciel, concludes.

[Skill combining is complete.]

The notification window that appeared gave Lexus infinite joy and vitality. The ever-bright vision combined with his clear spirit accelerated his thinking.

Jingle.

"Now that I've given you my blessing that will fill up your deficiencies. I hope by the time we meet again, you will have the qualifications of a God Killer."

Once the sound of bells rang again, Chiyou was no longer present. Chiyou's voice was heard along with the sound of bells, but it gradually faded.

"Thank you. If we ever cross paths again, I won't let you down."

Lexus sincerely conveys his gratitude. With the increase in his skills capabilities, he couldn't stop the smile that was forming in his face.

[Undefeated King' Swordsmanship Lv.5]

Rating: Myth (Transcendent)

[The swordsmanship of Undefeated King Lexus. The swordsmanship formed by combining the knowledge and all ideas of swordsmanship from all legends who had used the sword. The enlightenment gained through the secret technique has made it even more powerful.

A swordsmanship that its purpose is pure destruction. The swordsmanship that would mesmerize anyone who caught sight of. Though it was an extremely beautiful swordsmanship, one should by no means underestimate it, as it was just as deadly as it was beautiful.

His heart started beating faster as he demonstrated the new swordsmanship toward empty air. The earlier version only offered more than 1.5 times increase in physical attack power and in magic damage.

However, thanks to Chiyou, the damage and all advantages increases by a whooping amount of 300%. A large amount that increased! It became a swordsmanship that no one could touch.

At this moment, almost all of his skills ascended to Myth from legendary. Each one of them are the best but there's a single skill that caught his attention the most.

[Boost - Lv.Max]

Rating: Myth (Transcendent)

[Unleashes a powerful battle trance, and no damage can kill you during this mode by becoming the most ferocious creature on the battlefield.

* Turns into a terrifying killing machine that provides 90% damage reduction.

* Your attack power, magic power, and all basic stats will be doubled in 120 seconds.

Resources Consumed: 500,000 mana.

Cooldown Time: 1 Minute.]

Seeing the skill, Lexus smiled. It might look simple for just doubling his battle prowess but the skill wasn't that simple. The skill's duration is 120 seconds while the cooldown time is at 60 seconds. What does this mean?

It's obvious he can use the skill again while the effect is still active. While his battle prowess was doubled, as long as he activates it again, the effects would overlap and his battle prowess would quadruple.

Is it the end? Of course not! As long as he can activate it again, Lexus's battle prowess can increase without limit. Not to mention that it retained the invincible or invulnerable trait from the Undefeated King's Rage which makes this skill unstoppable.

The new skill effect might not reveal its true value to any people who did not have much power to boost. After all, this skill can double the power of its user and so on. The stronger the attack, the stronger it would be.

For Lexus on the other hand, this skill suited him the best. The power to bend anything was terrifying if he uses Boost to enhance his power twice.

For example, if he used his Fire Dragon's Breath after boosting his prowess with Boost, he could destroy two hills in one shot. If he used the skill again, the breath could destroy four hills, and when boosted again, he could destroy eight hills and if it doubled again and again...It could reach the point that he could destroy one or two nations as a whole.

So for Lexus who has incredible prowess, he would become an existence that became even more terrifying. Just with this ability alone, it could be said that he could easily be placed among the strongest beings in the world.

However, Lexus himself knew that this ability had also a great drawback even without activating it yet due to his vast knowledge.

The continuous use of the skill's "Boost" ability will drain the wielder's stamina and mental energy to a significant degree. Also, if the user overuses Boost, after reaching their physical limit, they will enter the "Burst" state; which drains the user's increased power and damages the user, due to the wielder exceeding their physical capabilities.

However, as someone who had infinite stamina during combat situations and has perfect status immunity, these are the last things that Lexus had to worry about. In other words, he has become immune to any backslash the moment he obtained the perfect status immunity.

Losing all his buff skills is worth the trouble.
