Chapter 104 - Nobody will fear (1)
Chapter 104: Nobody will fear (1)
There was the Genesis and Divine Power – Dohyuk’s achievement from his first chapter, where he faced Aruga’s Divine Power within his city and defeated him, gave him the following:
<<Sun Slicing Claw>>
The power to slash any attack comprised of ‘light’. Just like that, the Divine Power that a god achieved would be bestowed upon. So, if a god did very different things and achieved different feats from others, that god would be provided with distinct and different Divine Powers.
This represented Dohyuk’s case.
His third chapter-
[…So, the god who arrived by sailing across the sea on an island, faced the violence and oppression expressed toward him…]
In other words, he fought not only against the violence and oppression against himself, but toward the slaves. It was those overseers that Dohyuk first fought when he arrived at Busan. And that-
[He also showed mercy toward the lost lambs who were oppressed and tortured…]
Without any force, he took those slaves and made them into humans. It was reckless and foolish in this world that had begun illumination. Yet, because Dohyuk had taken the sacrifice to keep his beliefs and pursue his goal-
<<Divine Power activated>>
<<Passive skill: Does not require faith>>
He was able to acquire it.
<<Divine Power: Light that guides the lost lambs>>
The lost lambs were those weak people who had been used and utilized by the ones like Jung Ilgyu and were disposed of. For Dohyuk, they were more like people who were in need of help.
It was different now. Unlike his other Divine Powers which required him to use his ‘faith’ as fuel, this ability was fueled from their sights.
<<Detected multiple sights>>
<<Temporarily increased stat points>>
Lost lambs. As the weak people looked at Dohyuk, he was given power. It wasn’t a great amount by any means – having tens or hundreds only provided a handful of strength to him. It was just enough to allow the equal fight tilt over to his side. It wasn’t different now.
<<Temporarily increased stat points>>
<<Temporarily increased stat points>>
It was not even in the thousands. There were over tens of thousands. There were people within the city, but there were over 30 thousand people that Ilgyu had brought over himself. They were all watching Dohyuk.

It was the message that only Dohyuk could see, but through all that he could also clearly see the terrifying attack coming at him. It was incredibly fast, with such speed that no one other than Dohyuk could witness, and he twisted his body. The blade then barely missed Dohyuk’s face and his cheek was cut. He felt his teeth shattering and he lost his left ear from the attack.
And, he was still alive.
‘It’s my turn.’
Dohyuk kicked up his other knee and it struck Ilgyu’s chin. It felt like smashing some kind of barrier, but Dohyuk was able to feel the chin bone through his knee. Ilgyu’s body tilted and Dohyuk moved his other leg. If the enemy’s sword was to move freely, there was nothing to be gained by backing away to a safe distance.
It was the second attack from the other knee that hit his chin again. With the sound crushing teeth, he felt Ilgyu’s chin snapping to the top. A=t that moment, Dohyuk felt something cold from top of his left wrist. The Tyrant moved his Kerubac Sword to twist it, and instead of defending himself, he sliced off Dohyuk’s left hand.
“Idiot,” Ilgyu spat and a terrible pain gripped Dohyuk’s stomach. Ilgyu’s other hand which was gloved, had struck him.
<<Chain Gauntlet of Revenge – S+>>
[If the user is able to make a counterattack shortly after being hit, the attack will add up the damage taken. Equipment best fit for close combat.]
As Dohyuk was pushed 20 meters away, Ilgyu spit out the fractured teeth from his mouth.
He was severely injured also. The second attack not only crushed his front teeth, but it also shook his brain up. Other than that, Dohyuk was the one who incurred a bigger loss.
Ilgyu crushed down Dohyuk’s left hand on the ground by stomping it and readied his sword again. He now acknowledged Dohyuk as an equal enemy.
But-
“…What.”
It didn’t mean that he wasn’t angry at that fact.
“What the f*ck are you, you f*cking asshole!!!”
Why could he not? Dohyuk had to be dead this time. He was even given the damage that shook Ilgyu in addition to his attack. But why? Although it was enough damage to make him vomit his inner organs, Dohyuk was already rising back up with a slight shake of his body. And it was Dohyuk who was now charging at Ilgyu again.
Ilgyu lifted up his foot, but not to move forward.
<<Quakemonger’s Sandals – SS>>
The sandals increased the user’s power upon striking the ground. It would shake the ground and make it form a small landscape best suited for the user. His foot then sped up to speed of sound level and stomped the ground.
Then, the ground began rumbling between Dohyuk and Ilgyu. Dohyuk tried to fight it by standing still, and Ilgyu charged.
This time.
This time for sure.
Ilgyu stilled the ground right underneath his feet and jumped up. Meanwhile, Dohyuk was still struggling to stand still against the rumbling ground.
