Chapter 486 The 'World' Through My Eyes

We want to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

End this battle with minimal losses.

It was during the brief interval when that strange [Plague Giant] went down.

Destroy the monster that serves as the siege weapon and the core of the plan.

This is "Zero-Time Calculation," which comes at the cost of "burning mental energy" and significantly enhances the ability to predict and calculate battles in a short period of time.

The only answer to obtain the victory mark.
-
And in cases where one intentionally becomes 'weak'.

I want to make the most of this fleeting time.

Kill that strange "Plague Giant".

Cross this horde of monsters that has transformed into a 'black tide'.

And leaping over these has already been materialized into reality through the image of the "wicked woman in the forest".

It has become an insurmountable barrier.

It stands in the way of my progress.

A curse that will make your body 'slow' again.

You must seize that one and only opportunity and unleash the unprecedented [Shrinking Earth] technique without missing a beat.

To carry out a flawless assault with zero tolerance for errors, ensuring that the body is not tainted by any curse.

This is the activation of [Seizing the Initiative], which is derived from one's incompletely awakened abilities.

In a world that has become slow, almost stagnant.

He activated [Zero Hour Calculation - Void Sound] and took in the curse.

Only a handful of men have seen through its 'gaps'.

The solution that must be implemented.
-
However, this time...

Looking at it through [Zero-Time Calculation - Voiced Sound] in his own eyes.

On the world's 'staff,' the discordant note known as the curse has already been drawn as a musical note.

Complete the 'composition'.

Once the music is played and the strategy is implemented, victory is within easy reach.

The man, however, rejected the proposal outright.

This solution was rejected.

[Go a little slower.]

Only when cornered can you force 'it' out, just like using [Event Merge] and [This Fist is the Only Solution].

After that [Plague Giant] appeared.

A sense of destiny arose in the man's heart, a feeling that the "substitute" was about to awaken.
-
The man slowed his pace.

They deliberately missed one of the few opportunities to implement this plan.

He strained his senses to perceive the energy gathering behind him as it receded.

The mental force began to show a violent trend.

I began to recall what [another Fang Yi] had shown me in my dream.

The abilities that one should have possessed.

It was all to force out that person who lacked mental strength.

My potential has not yet been fully developed.

It is currently in an immature stage.

Their specific names and abilities are still unknown.

The mechanism for maintaining self-preservation is only triggered in times of life-or-death crisis.

The ability to actively go berserk is revealed.

【substitute】

The man had a premonition.

In future battles.

He needs this power and talent that he was born with but had voluntarily given up.
-
They ignored the barbarian Sona, who was charging ahead with the momentum of being able to take on a thousand men.

They didn't abandon their horses behind them and climbed out of the mud.

[Saint White Radiance Zhalan] and a group of swordsmen charged towards him on foot.

Standing on a branch, I exerted all my strength to materialize the curse into a barrier.

Five "Wicked Women of the Forest" who bought time for the "Plague Giant" to recover.

Her gaze remained fixed on the man the entire time.

He saw the man's steps slowing down, as if he was running out of steam.

The wicked woman in the woods felt a sense of relief.

A glint of joy at the impending victory flashed in his eyes.

They all made their own judgments.

"The curse has taken effect; he's slowed down!"

"In this battle, the opponent has no chance of turning the tide."

Watching him slowly pull his hands out of the ground outside the camp.

They are regaining their operational capabilities.

Just as the 'skill cooldown' is about to end, the [Plague Giant], the decisive weapon, will launch another attack.

It was just because of the man who took action.

It carried the momentum of a mercenary charge.

The 'heart' that was hanging high in the throat was blocked.

It also returned to its original position at an incredible speed.

The five "Women of the Forest" relaxed slightly.

He even exchanged a glance with his companion.

Among them, the one with the lowest intelligence is the weakest, and the one with the weakest overall condition.

Because mastering the language last was used as 'bait' in the plan.

The "Wicked Woman of the Forest," who had lost an arm, looked at the man and said with lingering fear.

"That man is incredibly powerful, beyond comprehension, an indescribable existence!"

"If it weren't for this new [Plague Giant] destroying this camp and removing all other obstacles besides himself."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to complete Lord Prophet's mission of destroying the camp tonight!"

The tallest of the group of monsters, the "Wicked Woman of the Forest".

Hearing these words.

He then turned his head and glanced at the one-armed monster.

"The Prophet has already decreed an inescapable fate for this camp."

"The appearance of the other party and these twists and turns are just one part of this flawless plan."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt in an ambiguous manner.

She looked at Fang Yi, who was quite far away from everyone, with great elegance.

Just like a human.

He bowed respectfully to this exceptionally troublesome enemy from a distance.

"In human terms..."

"[He is a respectable and strong person.]"

Even if we have different stances.

The other monsters spoke in somewhat broken language.

They echoed the words of the monster leader.

"Unfortunately, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot turn the tide of battle alone."

"Just get around him, destroy the fires that humans depend on for survival, and destroy the others."

However, the words had barely left his lips.

One of the "Wicked Women of the Woods" screamed in terror.

He's coming!
"He leaped over that curse!"

The monsters turned their heads away.

It also reveals a scene that occurs in men that contradicts their self-perception.
-
Intentionally make yourself weak.

A man who deliberately puts himself in a 'desperate' situation.

He watched as the tangible curse hurtled towards him and was about to touch his body.

And the [Plague Giant], which is extremely far away and about to regain its mobility.

Sensing the call of fate and this desperate situation.

It became increasingly solid behind him.

It's like another version of myself is about to hatch from its shell.

And abilities that seem to arise out of thin air as if by instinct.

He showed a satisfied smile.

The so-called "stand-in".

It is the personification of one's own 'spiritual energy'.

It was contaminated with certain particles.

An image with a clear posture and ability, formed under the influence of spiritual power.

The appearance and abilities of a Stand are often related to the mindset of its user.

Therefore, the Stand is also seen as a reflection of the Stand user's subconscious.

Or, to put it another way, the power of idealism.

Therefore, as long as you can summon a [Substitute].

Even an incomplete Stand will instinctively know its Stand ability.

According to the projection of consciousness.

The view in front of me became transparent.

There was no travel to a parallel world.

Then two illusions spontaneously appeared.

The hands showed signs of overlapping.

In perception, it is divided into two unrelated, straight 'lines' that reveal one's own destiny and actions.

The man began to operate as if by instinct.
-
at this moment.

He has already seen the "solution" to the entire world.

Or rather, those countless tiny vectors that describe the two overlapping 'worlds' in one's eyes.

Its own speed.

The bursting muscles and the acceleration brought by the [Magic Release].

The distance I am about to cross.

The path of the curse, visualized in space.

The [Plague Giant], with its hands raised, is rising in center of gravity.

The movements of the "Wicked Woman of the Forest" and even a host of monsters.

Even the flow of air, the propagation of sound, and the stretching of time.

In a man's eyes.

All of them are represented as lines called "vectors".

It unfolds before my eyes.

It's like a universe filled with stars that radiate brilliant light.

First, erase any 'vectors' irrelevant to the battle.

A thought came to my mind.

All the 'lines' unrelated to this battle vanished before my eyes.

All that remains are the overlapping lines of oneself within the overlapping 'world'.

The next step is to find common ground where these points of intersection can converge.

[The action of overlapping identifiers.]

The intersection of the two 'worlds' begins to unfold.

The same vector of the muscle group that is exerting force.

At the same time, the [Vector] of the [Dragon Heart] began to roar.

The vector of magic flowing through the body along the same path.

The man is propelled forward by a magical energy stream called "Vector," which acts like a jet of air.

It lingers on both feet.

The vector of the magic of [Shrinking the Earth] is being activated.

Above the swinging fists is a vector called "Curse Power".

Finally, remove unnecessary vectors to reduce resource consumption.

A thought came to my mind.

The vectors that indicated the tiny muscle groups that were of no help in generating power disappeared before the man's eyes.

The [Vector], which flows through flesh and blood and is of no use in attacking, fades away.

This indicates that the residual magical energy flow [Vector] has subsequently dissipated.

Only scattered vectors that can be 'merged' remain.

[Update and overlay, merge and overlay.] The illusions no longer appear.

The 'world' and 'destiny' begin to intersect.

The man who throws a right punch.

The prayer was uttered instinctively.

"Just as two people who can run 50 meters in 4 seconds will not become one person who can run 100 meters in 4 seconds."

"Some things, such as two unrelated straight lines, cannot be superimposed."

"However, in order to achieve victory..."

"The first thing to overcome is this kind of [fate]."

The man, while speaking, recited the name of the ability he would be using this time.

"The world! Converges before my very eyes!"

【Item Merging - Vector】
-
[Item consolidation] The moment it was completed.

The two possibilities and forces that should have belonged to Fang Yi converged completely at this moment.

The limits of muscle explosive power have been erased.

The upper limit of the power brought by magic has been broken.

The resistance of space is ignored.

That insurmountable chasm, filled with curses.

at this moment.

In Fang Yi's eyes, it was no longer an obstacle.

Rather, it refers to [things that are about to be leaped over].

[Item Merging - Vector] [Shrinking]

boom! ! !
The ground exploded.

The air is torn apart.

A curse materialized into a venomous snake, a barrier formed from thorns.

The moment the man stepped out.

Then the [Event Merge - Vector] was activated.

The man, whose distance had increased several times over, was left behind.

He leaped over it with nonchalant ease.

Charge toward the Plague Giant that was rising from the swamp.
-
The Wicked Woman of the Forest Witnesses an Unbelievable Scene Befalling a Man.

She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"He! He's flying?"

"How did you even fly over that cursed land?!"

"Space jump?"

The faces of the monsters were filled with fear of the unknown.

And the terror of incomprehensible things displayed by the man.

At that moment, they clearly realized one thing.

This battle, which they had already "won," may have encountered unforeseen changes.

However, Fang Yi did not give the enemy much time to show their shock.

They have arrived at the side of the [Plague Giant].

The man standing directly in front of that Plague Giant.

There was no pause.

There are no unnecessary movements.

It didn't even aim at the 3:7 ratio point required to trigger the [Ten-Stroke Spell].

The man simply and decisively raised his right fist and swung it at the monster.

With the support of this [Event Merging·Vector] feature.

Previously, when facing the Special Grade Cursed Spirit - Real Person.

I used it instinctively for the first time.

However, he has not yet fully mastered the "Only One Fist" technique.

At this moment, he appeared inexplicably skilled.

The power of the spell spontaneously gathered on his right arm.

A tiny, extremely unstable wisp of black lightning also appeared on his right fist.

Before the fists and spells even touched the monster.

The space in front of them began to disintegrate.

The flow of time has also become unstable.

[This fist is unique] [Black Flash].
-
boom! ! !
The moment the Plague Giant's body was struck by the man's fist...

It's not a crash.

It didn't explode.

Instead, it simply vanished from everyone's sight quite abruptly.

Its robust and enormous body was so large that the forest could only reach its waist.

The pustules that appear on its surface bring deadly miasma.

The unknown monster inside its body, yet to hatch.

Even its own existence.

They were all rendered non-existent by that punch.

Evidence that it existed.

It pollutes the air.

The miasma it produced.

Everything was completely destroyed by the man's punch.

At that moment, the world seemed to have been muted.
-
All the "wicked women in the woods" who witnessed this scene were rendered speechless for a moment.

After witnessing everything before them, their entire understanding of the world was turned upside down.

Consciousness also suffered a brief breakdown.

The Plague Giant no longer exists.

The curse that seemed like an insurmountable barrier no longer exists.

The advantage of being on the verge of victory no longer exists.

The Prophet's plan no longer exists.

The chances of winning no longer exist.

[Fate] no longer exists.

A "wicked woman of the forest" instinctively uttered its final murmur.

"What's this?
"Is it... a judgment by the gods...?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, mercenaries watched as the monster vanished.

It was impossible to tell whether what was before me was an illusion or the real world.

"This, this is a 'miracle'?"

A mercenary holding a longsword behind Zhalan sighed.

Zhalan, standing to the side, remained silent.

He just stared blankly at the battlefield that was originally a 'black tide' filled with monsters.

At this moment, only a straight path, hundreds of meters wide, remained on the battlefield, marking the route the men would take.

On this route.

There are no monsters.

There is no miasma.

There are no enemies.

Only by standing at the end of the path.

His fists hung down, and his shoulders rose and fell slightly.

The afterimage behind him disappeared.

Adjusting his breathing, he recovered from the side effects of using the [Substitute] prematurely, which had cost him 50 years of [extra lifespan].
-
Looking at the man standing at the end.

At the same time, an unshakeable thought arose in everyone's mind.

"Is this person... really... even human?"

The man who had finished regulating his breathing.

Then he raised his head.

He casually uttered the words of victory to the crowd and the monster.

"it's over!

"Clear the battlefield!"
-
The five "women of the woods," having regained their senses, paid no heed.

Because the man's divine power has collapsed.

The monster legion, having lost all will to fight, began to scatter and flee, only to be slaughtered like pigs by a group of mercenaries.

There was no communication with his companions.

Without turning his head, he stood on tiptoe.

They seemed to be telepathically connected, and fled in the exact opposite direction from the man.

And begin to activate [Stealth].

We must stay away from him! Report to the Prophet!

[Run! Run away!]

[Stand on your tiptoes, and you won't trigger the bomb!]

However, these five "women of the forest" only managed to dart around a few meters in their panic.

Then I heard a faint sound, the snapping of the springs, indicating that the bomb had been detonated.

How did the bomb end up here?

That traitor!?

But how could such a bomb possibly harm us?

Before these monsters could voice their doubts and questions...

He turned his body to the side in an attempt to dodge the shrapnel.

It was thrown sideways by the explosion and mechanical thrust.

The shrapnel that sensed the magic of the "Wicked Woman of the Forest" seemed to have eyes.

They intertwined to form several dense, impenetrable nets.

It enveloped the five monsters.

What? It's not a press-type?

How can it be so accurate?

[They actually need to use the masterpiece of an alchemist to deal with us?]

Before these monsters could continue thinking...

They then felt that they were already embedded in their bodies.

Shrapnel that causes a slight tingling and numbing sensation.

And the toxins that rapidly spread throughout the body from the shrapnel.

The body is becoming sluggish and falling to the ground.

[A targeted poison!]

But, how is this possible?

The "Wicked Woman of the Forest," whose arm was severed and whose vision was blurred.

I saw the man slowly approaching from a distance.

Shinobu Kocho proudly showed off her severed hand to herself.

Before consciousness fades into darkness.

The answer to the mystery has finally been revealed.

That hand?

[With just a severed hand, he managed to create a highly targeted poison in just a few tens of minutes?]

To deal with us, they actually managed to get both an alchemy master and a poison-making master to work together.

The approaching man gave the monster no further chance to think.

The man casually swung his knife.

He then killed five monsters.

They stripped the five monsters of their extremely valuable [Spirit Bone Masks].

The quest to kill the "Wicked Woman in the Woods" has been exceeded.

Then, he walked to the side and looked at him with a strange gaze. [Saint White Radiance Zaran]

She asked the question that made the man's lips twitch slightly.

How should we calculate the compensation for that vanished [Plague Giant]?
Fang Yi pointed to the open space.

He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"I think I used a bit too much force just now."

"No evidence was left behind."
