Second World

Chapter 1819 1819. War God Manifestation

Jack requested everyone to stay behind so the ice demon king didnʼt get killed too fast. Everyone complied, including Leavemealone who agreed after Domon asked him to.

Jack approached the Ice Demon King from the air using the War Godʼs wings. Even normally, he would have no problem vanquishing this boss. The Ice Demon King was just a level 75 mythical demon. The ice demon king just stared at Jack from the ground. It couldnʼt fly.

”Letʼs see this set equipmentʼs most powerful skill,” Jack uttered before he activated the War God Manifestation.

As he did, a bright light erupted from him. The light was so bright everyone had to look away.

The light dimmed soon and Jack could be seen again. His entire body was covered in golden light. Behind him was an aureole. The large golden ring just floated on his back. Circulating this ring were what seemed like glowing orbs that constantly emit golden mists. There were ten such glowing orbs.

Jack was holding two swords in his hands. The golden light also enveloped his swords. The lights extended out and made the swords appear three times longer than they were. He was as if holding swords that were constantly powered by Brave Slash.

”Ho… I do feel much stronger,” Jack muttered.

”The glowing orbs behind you are not just for decoration, you know,” Peniel informed.

”I know. I was aware of them once I transformed,” Jack said. ”Letʼs see how I do in real combat.”

With those words, he zipped to the ice demon king. The ice demon king was startled that the enemy suddenly appeared before it.

”That was a standard movement,” Paytowin who was watching from afar said. He still had his Brave Techno Suit on him. ”Not as fast as when he was in the mana awakening state, but still way faster than normal.”

Jack stood there as the ice demon king recovered from the surprise and started attacking him with its claws and sharp skeletal wings. Jack just let it.

”Hm…,” Jack was estimating his defense from the damage numbers he suffered. The ice demon king was too weak for him now. He was level 87 and wore legendary-grade equipment. Even under normal situations, the ice demon king wouldnʼt cause him much damage. However, he could still estimate this War God Manifestation improved his defense by at least twice.

He made a normal swing. The ice demon king was sent flying by the swing. It was just a normal slash but the ice demon king suffered damage that took out almost 50,000 of its HP.

”It is almost like a Brave Slash,” Jack remarked.

Jack chased after the ice demon king and performed One-word Slash. He wasnʼt targeting the ice demon kingʼs body but its skeletal wings. A golden line produced by his slash sliced through those skeletal wings and the wings were cut.

Only with two attacks, the ice demon king felt like it was cornered already. It used its ultimate attack, the Ice Spears Rain. At the same time, it fired its thick ice beam from its torso. The beam and ice spears swallowed Jack up.

When the attacks ended, Jack was visible again. He was unharmed. Before him was the Wing Godʼs Shield which had blocked the ice beam. The golden shield had an extra golden layer extending from its edges, enlarging its size by two times.

Above him was a huge golden tower shield, acting like an umbrella. This tower shield had blocked the Ice Spears Rain. While Paytowin and the others were wondering where that giant tower shield came from, it dissolved and split into ten small orbs. The orbs returned to the aureole behind Jack.

”Letʼs test these golden orbs further,” Jack uttered.

The ten golden orbs again detached from the golden ring and they transformed into ten longswords. He was as if using the Dances of the Braves, except the longswords produced by these golden orbs were larger. He also sensed they were more powerful. Also, they didnʼt have a duration. He could use these golden orbs for as long as the War God Manifestation lasted.

The swords produced by the golden orbs could fly a distance away from Jack, different from Dances of the Braves which only struck enemies at melee range. Jack stayed back with folded arms while the ten golden longswords fought the ice demon king.

”This armor can also be worn by Weapon Master, right? I bet if Weapon Master used these golden orbs to produce different melee weapons, they would get a damage bonus from the class,” Jack said.

”You are right,” Peniel confirmed.

The golden orbs could be fashioned into any melee weapons Jack wanted. They could also combine into a larger weapon like when he created the giant tower shield. The more golden orbs were combined, the larger and more powerful the weapon became.

The ice demon king couldnʼt last long against the golden swordsʼ onslaught. Jack was controlling them using his sword art which added combo damage. It was down to almost ten percent HP in a short time.

”Letʼs finish this!” Jack exclaimed.

He summoned his runestone of luck and the ten golden swords combined into one giant sword. The giant sword slashed downward using the One-word Slash. The huge golden sword sliced through the ice demon king in the middle. Its HP zeroed and its bodies split into two. It soon turned to ash and dropped loots.

”Done having your fun?” Jet asked as they all walked over.

Jack had deactivated the God War Manifestation and was studying the loots. Not much interested him from the loots except for the Thousand-Year Wine. Two bottles of Thousand-Year Wine dropped. He took one of the wines and gave everything else to Jeanny to organize.

Some exp pills were also in the loot, but Jack knew his levels were already much higher than everyone else. It would be too selfish if he took these pills.

The others asked if Jack was sure. Jack defeated the ice demon king by himself, after all. Jack replied if they fought the ice demon king, they would also win. He was grateful enough that they let him fight the boss alone.

After the confirmation, Jeanny went and divided the loot among them. Items nobody needed were donated to the guild, like the Heart of Ice among the loot. That item could be used to power up their Ice Cannon Tanks.
