Overgeared

To annihilate meant to kill and destroy without leaving any traces. The power of the special resource known as Annihilation energy, which could only be obtained by killing a god and old dragon at the same time, was as intuitive as its name.

No matter the target, Annihilation energy would destroy it. Its power had been proven in practice.

Even Hanul, who was a God of the beginning, couldn’t withstand the Annihilation energy and died. The very same energy had smashed through Grid’s armor even though the armor was made out of a mixture of Greed and the fire dragon’s scales.

Even though Garam claimed to be the strongest being after inheriting Hanul’s divinity and absorbing King Sobyeol’s, what could he really do in this situation? Grid’s Chaos Aura weakened Garam significantly. Defying the Natural Order combined with Twilight could even slash through an old dragon’s Absolute Defense and scales.

The power of the Annihilation energy...

Slash!

He cut Garam as if he was a sheet of paper. Garam’s divinity that emerged from his severed arm was different from usual. It resembled red blood instead of golden light. This was because of the Annihilation energy.

Garam, who was already nervous, became very anxious. This reminded him of his past life as a yangban. The last thing he saw before he died the first time was the pool of blood he had spilled... He couldn’t allow the same thing to happen again. He didn’t want to ever experience that anger and fear again.

[It will be different this time.]

Garam was anxious purely because of the Refractive Dragon. He realized he needed to make sure to not draw the dragon’s attention anymore, so he sealed the power of light. This meant he had lost several of the aces up his sleeve.

But this didn’t mean he was at a disadvantage. After all, he was an Absolute. Even though he could no longer rely on the power of light, he could still move faster than sound. There was no way he would be slower than Grid.

Besides, he still had the Annihilation energy. Because of this, he still had a chance. Even though the odds weren’t in his favor, he still had a chance to win.

Garam calmed down. He cut off one of Grid’s arms using the sword made out of Annihilation energy seconds after Grid had done the same thing to him. Now, both Absolutes had only one armed remaining.

Garam bent forward and spun. Meanwhile, Grid corrected his balance by leaning backward and kicking with his leg up. Grid’s kick hit Garam in the left shoulder.

In the midst of the shards of purple Annihilation energy, Garam stabbed Grid in the abdomen with his sword as he was pushed back slightly.

Garam’s knees buckled, so he stumbled slightly. Grid stabbed him in the back.

[...Haha! Ahahahaha!]

Garam, who had been gritting his teeth in rage just moments before, suddenly burst out laughing. This fierce battle was pushing both of them closer to death. This life or death battle was a lot of fun.
