“Gah!”
The Incarnation of Thunder, the Lightning Titan pierced by Rokan’s strike, thrust out its fist, smashing into Rokan’s chest and sending him flying far away.
No lightning damage came through, but the sheer force was cheat-level. His remaining health instantly bottomed out to zero.
“Damn it all.”
Normally, even ghost-types or spirits would take damage from attacks infused with aura.
The Lightning Titan in its Incarnation of Thunder form was no exception—parts of its body briefly blurred—but the problem was that it recovered almost immediately.
Rumble.
Judgment Lightning. That was restoring it.
And that meant the thing wielded invincible power here.
“So it’s a battle of endurance after all.”
Confirming this, Rokan instantly grasped the situation.
He found the solution.
The enemy’s skill couldn’t last forever, so just as the others had dragged things out against him, he needed to do the same—buy time and whittle away at its duration.
“Let’s see you try!”
Gritting his teeth, Rokan skipped swinging his battle axe and reached into his inventory instead.
Before coming here, he pulled out the mechanical engineering items he’d prepared, scattering and planting them around.
[Lightning Rod]
To neutralize the Judgment Lightning falling toward him, he’d prepared for the worst, laying them out like a magic circle to counter the Lightning Titan.
“You bastard!”
Rumble! Crackle!
The lightning rods worked perfectly. Synergizing with the ground that had built resistance over years of lightning strikes, they sucked every bolt the thing fired straight into the earth.
It was as close to a hard counter as it got for lightning-types.
“How dare you!”
Enraged at the sight, the Titan threw itself at Rokan to prove scraps of metal couldn’t stop it.
Crackle!
[Due to the Lightning Rod effect, the Incarnation of Thunder’s power weakens.]
It lost some power to absorption, but that alone wasn’t enough to stop it.
With overwhelming physical force, it flipped the ground, destroying the embedded lightning rods.
“Got you, you fool! Lightning Tower. Activate!”
But Rokan had never planned to fight it head-on.
The moment he confirmed its charge, he backpedaled and erected even larger iron structures on the ground.
Lightning Tower.
As several three-meter iron towers rose to absorb lightning in its place, the Titan’s power rapidly dispersed.
“Aura Bombardment!”
He added aura to harass it further.
He knew it would recover soon, but that didn’t mean the hits did nothing.
Unclear if recovery ate into its duration, but right now, he had to do everything he could.
He kept throwing prepared mechanical items and metal chunks to obstruct and block it.
“Kyaaaaah!”
No wonder the thing went berserk.
Unable to endure anymore, it exploded with all its power, instantly obliterating every obstacle.
Its weapon was gone, but it gathered lightning into weapon form and swung.
“Full-Body Charge! Steps of Resolve! Rapid Acceleration!”
Seeing that, Rokan bolted without looking back. No reason to fight.
The Incarnation of Thunder Lightning Titan was lightning-fast, but Rokan’s stats were already inflated several times over.
Adding movement skills turned it into an extreme game of tag.
“Blink!”
Rokan clearly had the edge. The Lightning Titan was fast, but its ranged attacks couldn’t harm him.
Even focusing solely on pursuit, Rokan escaped with skills or blinked far away every time. Dragging it out like this pushed the skill’s duration to its limit.
“Time Regression!”
Rokan hit his limit first.
Absorbing the Flame Titan had extended it, but since he’d activated first, it ended sooner.
But Rokan had Time Regression.
He rewound to the preset max—thirty minutes prior—reactivating Gale Incarnation.
“Over here!”
Tag resumed.
At this point, the Lightning Titan could’ve fled, but Titan pride kept it chasing.
Surprisingly, Rokan’s turn came again next.
“Crazy...”
The creation skill lasted nearly an hour.
Fortunately, the Titan was slowly regaining its flesh, but Rokan’s skill ended faster.
He just needed a bit more time.
“Kai!”
Rokan decided instantly.
Lightning still rained down as it charged, but Kai—or rather, Elemental Barrier—could hold for a while. He believed that.
Rumble!
With Kai’s arrival, the Lightning Titan poured out its last strength, unleashing lightning to the limit.
Crack! Squeal!
With a scream-like roar, it shattered Kai’s barrier and struck a final blow with its half-restored body.
“Kai, unsummon.”
But Rokan stared it down. He had one last move.
“Berserk.”
The embedded option in his Gale Battle Axe. Berserk, usable once a day regardless of aftereffects, activated now.
Clang!
The hammer—like lightning itself—clashed with the battle axe.
He twisted slightly in case of penetration, but with its transformation fading, it became a clash of pure power.
“Gale Slash!”
Then Gale Slash erupted!
The Gale Dance once used to fell a Titan long ago recreated itself through Rokan’s body.
Kraaaah!
A hurricane-force storm tore at its body, inflicting massive damage.
“That do it?”
That blow fully dispelled its transformation. With aftereffects piling on, its resistance felt infinitely weak.
Now it was fully Rokan’s time.
“Showtime, you bastard!”
His battle axe ravaged the staggering Lightning Titan mercilessly.
It sliced through its chest, severed muscles, and exposed its throbbing heart.
[The Heart-Eating Demon devours the Lightning Titan’s heart.]
[Absorbing the power in the target’s heart and soul.]
[Absorbing the Power of the Titans.]
[The essence of the Titans infuses your body.]
“Power of the Titans?”
Rokan stabbed the Heart-Eating Demon into its heart, looking stunned.
He’d expected lightning-related abilities from a Lightning Titan, but it stole the racial power of Titans themselves.
Great news for Rokan, who already had lightning control and worried about overlap.
[Power of the Titans]
You’ve stolen the bloodline ability of the Titan race.
Acquire Titan racial traits.
-Strength +30%
-Stamina +30%
-Defense +30%
-All stats +30% when fighting smaller beings
-All stats +20% when fighting stronger opponents
“...Insane.”
Not just flat boosts—percentage increases. A whopping 30%!
Titans could no longer claim superiority in strength.
Plus, the multipliers against smaller foes or stronger ones made it blatantly overpowered.
“Without Gale Incarnation, I’d have been smashed.”
He realized his luck—and why the one called Gale had a similar gigantification skill.
Without enlarging, the Titan’s stats would’ve been 30% higher.
Could he have won? Hard to say.
[Level up.]
The system alert snapped Rokan out of doubt.
Level up.
Rokan was now level 396.
Just three more for Grand Master.
“Hm?”
Turning back with a clenched fist, Rokan recalled something and grinned slyly, scheming.
Played right, he could hit 399 fast.
‘The Celestials are grinding their teeth at me, right?’
Finishing his plot, he returned to the village, then visited the demon realm. He needed an item badly.
No unified auction house made it a hassle, but dangling massive coins worked wonders.
The demon realm was peak capitalism, after all.
From sourcing to location tips, offering bounties got him everything in two days.
“Hm, materials shouldn’t be out yet, right?”
He considered Drox but changed his mind.
He’d stocked plenty; a few days wouldn’t deplete them.
Wasting unique items on a belt now changed little.
Instead, he activated his mental trap.
“Heavenly Rune Book, use.”
Calculations done, Rokan teleported to the heavens.
He ditched the Thousand-Year Lightning Robe hiding his identity. No need.
“That guy...!”
Chaos erupted the moment he hit the city.
“Unicorn summon.”
Rokan basked in the stares, summoning his unicorn blatantly to draw more eyes.
He could cause a scene here, but wrong spot.
He led the gazes, heading somewhere slowly.
The Celestial holy site, heart of the heavens—Saint Vallona.
“Crazy!”
“How dare you come here!”
Normally, no one could enter. Home of the Heavenly God’s great temple.
No guards blocked, but the Heavenly God’s barrier around the city repelled the unworthy.
Non-Celestial faction? No entry. Even faction members needed qualifications.
Rokan strode right in.
‘Good reactions.’
Furious glares promising death gathered, but they couldn’t act rashly.
Rokan being here meant Heavenly God’s approval. Attacking such a being casually? Impossible.
If he sweet-talked, he could mend ties with the Celestials—this entry alone was huge.
‘That way?’
Of course, Rokan had no such intent.
But the direction matched: straight to the Heavenly God’s great temple.
“Halt!”
Celestials blocked him, as expected. Guards here were pure Celestials.
Rokan ignored them.
“Stop, I said!”
They shoved weapons in his face.
So what? Attack? Rokan ignored them completely, pushing inside.
Even grabbing him, they couldn’t stop Rokan with their power.
“Damn it, signal inside!”
Unable to attack, they called for backup. Moments later, temple guardians swarmed out.
“Rokan, you scum! How dare you set foot here!”
“Heavenly God’s great temple, isn’t it?”
Seeing not just guards but priests and high priests, Rokan smirked. Things were going as planned.
“You dare tread the Heavenly God’s land? You’re prepared, then?”
“If the Heavenly God didn’t want me, he’d have stopped me. Right?”
Every word hit home, infuriating them more.
But attacking meant Heavenly God’s wrath—they couldn’t risk it.
Rokan grinned at the growling watchdogs, waiting for more, then flipped them again.
“You guys don’t like me, huh?”
“You—!”
“Wanna throw down? I’ll take you all if you want. Lose, and I never come back.”
“What?”
Over a hundred Celestials. Fight them all? Such arrogance.
The pride-stinging taunt flipped their eyes; they readied for battle.
“Whoa, calm down. Rampaging here’s bad for you too, right? I scouted a spot—let’s go.”
Rip.
He tore a Warp Gate scroll.
Heavenly Rune-infused, pre-set coordinates.
A massive Warp Gate appeared before him.
Shrinking over time, but hurry and everyone here could pass.
“I’ll head first. Follow if you’re confident. Chicken out? Oh well.”
With that, Rokan slipped into the gate.
No time for replies.
“Grr! We follow! Fair duel—the Heavenly God will understand!”
The Heavenly God’s high priest commanded after thinking.
Gathered Celestials gritted teeth, leaping in one by one.
“Kraaaah!”
“You coward!”
Moments later, Celestials writhed in fury.
The gate led to the Land of Judgment.
Rokan, arrived first, slaughtered them as they emerged amid Judgment Lightning.
“Idiots. Should’ve checked the destination.”
Paralyzed by lightning, they became fodder for his battle axe.
EXP for his next breakthrough.
