An Extra’s POV

[The Unknown Box] Skill…

Rey was able to obtain it by a stroke of luck after watching Adonis use it against the Skeletal Dragon Lord.

Yes, it was through the lens of his clone, but since his [Doppel] worked regardless, he was able to take the ability that the Box itself offered.

… The power to upgrade any one Skill to its full potential for a limited amount of time.

Rey's current gaze was on the ascending Dagon when he figured he would have to use this Skill if he wanted to stand a modicum of a chance against the Divine Beast.

'It's more affected than physical attacks, so [Sacrifice] would have been the better option. But…' Rey clenched his fist and strengthened his muscles.

'I need something to finish it off decisively!'

Dagon had incredible regeneration, and its Life Force was too high for Rey to possibly kill in one hit. In comparison, Rey's life force was much lower, so if it came down to a head-on battle, he had a much lower chance of victory.

There was only one Skill that had been shown to do major damage to Dagon; his [Divine Ray].

'Which is why I should use [The Unknown Box] on it.' That was Rey's initial thought.

However, after considering the speed and abilities of Dagon, as well as his own weakness, he thought against it.

'[Divine Ray] is already in the SS Tier. I'm not even sure if it has a higher form. It would be a waste if that wasn't the case.'

[The Unknown Box] had to follow the same rules as the Item it spawned from, which meant Rey could only use it once a day. Unless he actually used [Merger] to—

"That's it! I have to use [Merger]!"

~BOOOOOOOM!~

The moment Rey said this and beamed, the colossal Divine Beast kicked the air above it, creating a powerful wave that resounded across the area like thunder.

Rey watched as it powerfully thrust itself back to the ground, readying its fist for it once it drew near.

He launched his fist, and Dagon did the same—both clashing to create a ferocious storm around them.

More buildings were devastated, and the fields were reduced into dirty patches of land. Once again, space became unstable, and the distorted waves of power filled everything around—both the energy of Rey and of Dagon.

"Guh!" Rey felt a recoil after receiving the Beast's hit head-on.

'It's a lot tougher than last time!'

Before he could pull himself together, however, the Divine Beast utilized its tail and wrapped itself around Rey's much smaller body.
