Apocalypse Cheater

[: Daniel POV :]

Once I had transformed into the Spirit King Form, I pointed my spear towards the monster, and immediately, a radiant white beam blasted out.

At first, a tiny orb of light had manifested at the tip of the spear, and from the end of the orb, an enormous wave emerged.

''What!?'' The tribe leader could sense the danger of the incoming blast, and from its fear, it dodged the blast.

The moment the blast had missed its target, it impacted the ground and exploded into a shimmering shockwave of light that blinded everyone's eyesight.

I wasn't disheartened by the miss, and I could tell that if the tribe leader was hit by the blast, it would immediately kill it.

Even though the blast had not destroyed the land, it had purified the dark essences of chaos that these monsters left around due to their spiritual essence.

Their dark and chaotic essences had tainted the ground, and with my blast, it had cleansed and purified the ground.

''Why did you dodge it?'' I questioned with a smirk.

Even though my body was entirely smaller than its body, my voice could still be heard by the tribe leader.

At the same time, my words had angered it.

However, perhaps it realized how dangerous and threatening I was; it didn't allow itself to be consumed and blinded by anger.

Hence, it chose to remain silent, unlike all of the Tribe Leaders I had met.

''You...you're a powerful human...for what reason did you disturb our peace?''

The tribe leader questioned with a low tone.

On the other hand, I was stunned by its question.

From all of my encounters since the very beginning, none of the monsters had ever questioned me.

Despite possessing intelligence akin to a human, they never questioned why I was killing them.

However, its question reminded me of my goal, and that's to annihilate all monsters.

''Why? That's because you're a monster.'' I simply stated my reason.

From my answer, the tribe leader clenched its teeth, as though my answer was ridiculous and nonsense.

''I have never disturbed you, nor did I ever offend you, but because of a reason that I'm a monster, you decided to annihilate my kin!''

It questioned, and its voice shivered to the ground.

''Let me correct you,'' I said.

''Don't pretend to be innocent when you have never harmed innocent lives before. Even though I don't pursue the path of righteousness, your existence is a nightmare for others,'' I said.

''You have caused millions of deaths, and that's enough reason for me to kill you,'' I stated.

''That's nonsense!'' It roared.

''You and I are the same! You kill millions of monsters that have their own life! What makes you different from us!'' It roared with intense emotions.

I never thought that one day, monsters would show their expressions to me.

''Perhaps you are right,'' I agreed with its words.

Perhaps in the monster's eyes, I was the monster itself.

Monsters, in fact, have their own lives and certain rights to live.

But... their way of living would cause many deaths among my loved ones.

Moreover, no one should pity monsters, as they would use any opportunity to overpower others.

It's their nature to kill, consume, and even destroy.

"Perhaps I am a monster in your eyes," I said. "But," I paused for a while before gazing at the monster with intense eyes. "I don't care," I declared.

"What!?" The tribe leader was baffled by my answer.

"What kind of conviction is that!?" It questioned.

"I could give many reasons why I killed your kin, but the truth is, you're a stepping stone for my future."

In the end, the reason why I'm killing all these monsters in Modern Fantasia is just so I can protect the future that I desire.

Perhaps I'm a selfish bastard who would take lives for my benefit.

I won't deny that and pretend to be a good person.

As long as the future that I desire can come true, then, I don't care about anything else.

"Enough talking, monster," I said. "It's time to end this," I declared.

At my words, the tribe leader roared, and moments later, its body intensified with more spiritual energy gathered all around its body.

Eventually, in an instant, thousands of shadowy eyeballs manifested in the sky.

The moment the eyeballs had opened their eyes, a red beam was shot out, targeting me.

I swiftly dodged the first attack. However, the moment I took a step beside me, another beam targeted me.

It seems like whenever I tried to dodge, the beams would follow my moves.

As I kept dodging, the beams were relentless as they never failed to target me.

Alright then.

Since you want to play with beams, then I would give you a taste of it.

From my eyes, a pair of lasers were shot out, and at light speed, they wove through the air and penetrated through all of the eyeballs.

As the first eyeball was penetrated by the laser, it exploded, and like a domino effect, all of the eyeballs exploded one by one.

Eventually, within a second, all of the eyeballs were destroyed by my laser.

However, it wasn't over.

"What the hell is that?" I questioned while being stunned by the sight in the sky.

As I gazed at the sky, there was a gigantic form of a ghost.

It had a shadowy form, but there was only a head, and it was falling down on me.

Both of its eyes were covered by a white cloth; however, its mouth was wide open as though trying to consume me when it landed on me.

I guess this was a form of attack conjured by the Tribe Leader.

With a mind of calmness, I raised my hand before using a skill from the Spirit King Class called Spirit Bind (S).

From my palm, a white spiritual chain burst out and travelled through the sky before enveloping the ghostly head.

Once the chain had been enveloped, it squeezed the ghostly head, and it dispersed into dark essences.

''That's impossible! How can you destroy my Hollow Head Skill!?'' The tribe leader was flabbergasted with the result.

Even though its attack was destroyed by me, it didn't give up.

Instead, it used all of its might to muster and gather all of its energy for a single and ultimate attack.

''You can't escape from this!'' It laughed eerily as though victory was in its sight.

Within the sky, there was a crack before a portal was opened.

''You will witness the power of Melinoe, the Goddess of Ghost!'' It kept laughing maniacally.

As I sensed the portal, I frowned my eyebrows.

I could sense that the energy from the portal wasn't something that belonged to the Tribe Leader.

At the same time, I was stunned, and I recalled a certain power.

No matter what happens, those Divine Beings couldn't intervene no matter what happened.

Even the blessings from gods or goddesses couldn't intervene.

''I have sacrificed 90% of my lifespan, and this should be enough to deal with you!'' The tribe leader declared with a devilish laugh.

Now, I recalled that after Blessings, there was a method called Sacrificial Summoning where any Player that offered gifts could temporarily summon an attack or force from those who had blessed them.

It seems the Tribe Leader had made a sacrifice to summon power from the Goddess it serves.

Immediately, as the portal opened, there was only dark emptiness.

However, a few seconds later, thousands of black chains emerged from the portal and targeted me.

With the spear in my hand, I tried to destroy the chains.

However, I discovered that the chains were almost indestructible.

Moreover, there were thousands of them, and each chain couldn't even be destroyed.

''Hahahaha! Foolish mortal! You can't defeat the power of a goddess!'' The tribe leader laughed.

At this point, I sensed trouble in dealing with the chains, and I had a feeling that if I couldn't destroy the chains, they would pull me towards the portal.

''Unstoppable'' I decided to use an Ultimate Skill where no attack could damage me for an hour.

Even though I had skills that could negate all physical and magical attacks, I was just taking a step further.

''Seraph of the end'' In the end, I decided to switch my transformation.

However, instead of the 1st stage, I entered the 2nd stage where all of my stats had increased by 200k times.

But I didn't stop at the 2nd stage.

I increased to the 3rd stage, 4th stage, and even the 5th stage.

In the end, I decided to end at the 10th Stage where all of my stats had increased terrifyingly by 51.2 million times.

At the same time, the consumption was 512 million Mana per second.

Just the thought of the Mana could make all Player faint, but because of my almost endless pool of mana and regeneration, I wasn't worried about the consumption.
