World's Fastest Level up! - Chapter 140

In the face of an opponent with a huge body that far exceeded his, Rin wasn’t afraid. He also didn’t need to use any strategy like when he fought against the Orc General, which was leaving his emotions behind and devoting himself to hit and away tactics.

Because, the current Rin doesn’t need to rely on that kind of strategy anymore, as he already possessed an exceptional power that could overwhelm the High Ogre.

“—Time Zero”

The moment he chanted, dozens of swords flashed, blinked in the area, and the afterglow of those silver flashes cut through the skin of the High Ogre one after another.

“BURGAAAAAAA!”

This caused the High Ogre to swing around its huge sword while screaming angrily. However, all of his attacks ended up failing to hit its target, as by the time it swung its sword, Rin had already transferred.

“Are you okay? Your hardening didn’t make it in time, you know?”

“—-!!!”

As if afraid of the power of Rin, the High Ogre was trying to avoid damage by concentrating its hardening power. But that doesn’t last long either. Because the moment the High Ogre failed to grasp Rin’s position with its sight or even its intuition, the full-power swing unleashed by Rin cut the skin of the High Ogre.

“GUGYAAAAAAAAAA!”

Suffering from much pain in its body, the High Ogre screamed. But even when he heard it, Rin never let his guard down.

Then, judging that it was the decisive moment, Rin continued to attack the High Ogre again and again–.

“… What is this scene?”

Everyone in that place, including Yagami, could only be overwhelmed by the figure of a young man who wasn’t even 20 years old yet destroying the level 40,000 High Ogre.

Strength, speed, and mental strength. Many points could be praised from the figure of Rin. However, the most peculiar among them was the power that could allow him to evade all enemy’s attacks and also attack the enemy from its blind spot– Transfer.

While everyone was observing the battle between Rin and the High Ogre, one person opened his mouth.

“Hey, leader. Who the hell is he? I had heard in advance that he was over level 10,000 but… That alone can’t explain this!”

“…..”

Yagami didn’t answer that question. Not because he chooses to ignore it, but he was so focused on his thoughts and couldn’t hear the question.

Amane Rin is 19 years old and has been an adventurer for over a year. He is also someone who was recognized by his guild master.

— And then, transfer.

With that information, Yagami recalled a unique skill that was temporarily rumored in the adventurer community a year ago, quietly trying to reach for an answer.

If his guess is correct, Yagami could understand how Rin could be considered special and why the Guild Master wants his talent that much. — However, what he can’t understand is, his growth rate!

If he had only become an adventurer for a year and could reach this territory in only a year, then Rin was for sure even more talented than the girl he respected so much—.

(That’s not possible!)

For Yagami, who knows the reason why she was a special existence, that answer he arrived earlier was something unbelievable. But, the heated battle that unfolds in front of him has gone beyond normal, as if telling Yagami’s heart— that it is the truth.

“… Let us witness, till the end.”

Knowing his rationality and instinct led to an opposite answer, Yagami judged to see the battle before him and decided his answer based on the result.

Confusion, shock– and then, a little excitement. Everyone in the place felt such emotions as they watched the battle. And then finally, the battle between Rin and the High Ogre was about to reach its conclusion.

–It was approximately when the number of times Rin swung his blade has exceeded 100. Confirming the hardness that he felt from the skin of the High Ogre has increased, Rin faintly muttered.

“I see, you returned the range of the hardening like before. Not a bad decision, but–”

The method of increasing the defense power of only a part of its body doesn’t work against Rin who keeps slashing from all directions by using Time Zero. Hence, trying to increase its overall defense to reduce the damage it receives as much as possible was a correct decision.

However, even if it tried to rely on such tricky means, it’s already too late. Because the preparation for Rin to defeat the High Ogre has already been completed.

“–Greed!”

Rin summoned a dagger dyed in crimson color–Greed in his left hand. Although for a moment he thought about getting another magic skill from Yagami to carry out the plan in his head, Rin decided it wasn’t necessary.

Without hesitation, Rin pierced Greed deeply into the body part that wasn’t affected by the hardening power– which was a large scar on the High Ogre’s body. And then,

“For you, a leftover is enough–Release”

At that moment, a magic that was originally stored in Greed, which is the flames that enveloped the Salamander’s body, was released inside the body of the High Ogre.

“GUGOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

The flames spread inside the body of the High ogre and ruthlessly incinerated it from the inside, causing the sounds of agony to be raised from its mouth and flames to leak out from various scars on its body.

At first, Rin had doubts whether the flames from a level 10,000 salamander would work against the High Ogre or not, but since the flames were released inside its body where the hardening power couldn’t cover, the flames caused considerable damage to the High Ogre.

“Now, let’s end this,”

Saying that, Rin took a distance from the High Ogre, retreating to Yagami’s position by using transfer. Then, while receiving the gazes of those who thought ‘Shouldn’t you finish it off before it could regenerate?’, Rin strongly kicked the ground and accelerated.

Although consecutive attacks using Time Zero are powerful, it has the disadvantage of having no foundation, making the strength of the attack to become low. For that reason, Rin judged that the finishing blow should be done with acceleration.

With a movement that easily surpassed the speed of sound, Rin approached the High Ogre, which suffered from the flames. However, there is no way the High Ogre will let itself be killed that easily.

“GURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Despite being tormented by the flames, the High Ogre swung its sword, following its survival instinct. And perhaps because of a hysterical strength, both the power and the speed were far higher than normal. Thus, the extreme-speed blade that contained enough energy to crush everything attacked Rin. And at this rate, Rin’s body will surely be crushed by it.

But, even so, Rin still did not stop.

“Time Zero!”

In the succeeding moment, the huge sword shattered the floor, shaking the entire dungeon violently. However, Rin’s figure was no longer there as he had already rushed a few meters away, which to other than Rin, would have seemed like he slipped through that huge sword.

Rin took a stance and pulled the Nameless like a bow. Then, utilizing every strength he could muster from his whole body, Rin unleashed the most powerful attack he had.

“UOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

It was a god-speed thrust that slipped through the enemy’s attack– The invincible penetration. That attack easily pierced the hard skin of the High Ogre and even the magic stone inside its body.

“A-a-aaaaaa”

–Without being able to even raise a proper death agony, the High Ogre collapsed on the spot. Then, while facing his back to that powerful enemy, Rin swung the Nameless several times to clean its blade of blood.

–That was undoubtedly the conclusion of the fight. And Yagami’s party should have understood that, but they couldn’t say anything because of how unrealistic the scene before them was.

But, eventually, someone muttered something. A word that could describe the person before them, who has defeated an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, despite his small body.

“…. Giant-eater”

Strangely, those words seem to describe the way Rin and the silver sword he held have been fighting so far. Before long, the sound of the system reverberated in everyone’s mind.

That was a definite proof that this death battle has finally come to an end. And from the figure of Rin who overwhelmed the High Ogre, they could see the image of what they could call ‘the strongest’.

Thus, the battle between the High Ogre and Rin ended with Rin’s overwhelming victory.
