Chapter 383 Second round (12)
Once all of the limiters were released, the amount of power that filled my body was insane.
The limiters that the body placed on itself greatly inhibited one's strength.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
At best, it only allowed one to use a fifth of their power at most.
But once those limiters were released, I would be able to gain power that was over five times greater than what I currently had.
No, it wouldn't just be five times greater since it would fluctuate depending on how much strength I used. After all, human muscles didn't just use 100% of their power all the time, so humans used different amounts of strength from time to time.
With the limiters released, it could go from five times to over ten times the amount of power that I normally had.
Then add in the doubling effect of the sword and armour…I felt that the amount of power that I had was infinitely close to reaching that of a S Ranker.
I knew that there must be a single step away since S Rankers were so special for a reason.
However, to face the A Rank Snow Woman, this should be enough.
The only problem was that this couldn't be maintained.
The longer that I stayed in this state, the more I would hurt myself.
After all, humans put limiters on their powers for a reason. Without limiters, one wouldn't care about what happened to one's body.
This amount of strength that I had was more than enough to rip the muscles of my body with just a few simple moves. So I had to be careful with how I moved my body and I couldn't maintain this state for long.
But a few seconds was all that I needed to take care of the Snow Woman.
With the speed that I had, I immediately dodged out of the way of the icicles that were coming at me.
Then without any hesitation, I kicked off the ground and flew up towards the ceiling.
The moment that I kicked out, I could hear the snapping sound that came from my legs.
It was just a single leg that I used, but the bone had snapped from the force of the kick.
It was a worthy sacrifice since it was enough to propel me to the top of this room.
At the top of this room, I had seen several tiles that were just like the ones that I had encountered in the previous room.
But this time, I could feel heat coming from them when I came near them.
Without any hesitation, I slapped the flame talisman on my sword and swung out at the tiles that were in front of me.
The flames quickly gathered in the air around the sword before being absorbed by something. They were pulled away from my sword and quickly moved through the air before disappearing without a trace.
They had been absorbed by the tiles that were on the ceiling.
I didn't know if this was the way to do it, but I hoped that it worked or else I would have no choice but to crush the token that I had been hiding in my pocket.
After seeing nothing happen for a few seconds, I brought my hand close to my pocket as if I was about to use it. But before I could, I suddenly saw flames coming out of the tiles.
I didn't know if this succeeded or not, but at the very least, something was about to happen.
When the flames came out of the tiles on the roof, the snow down beneath suddenly stopped and revealed the Snow Woman standing there.
She looked up at me with a look as if she was blaming me for doing something bad.
Was it really that bad that she would have to look at me with such an evil glare?
But there was no time for her to worry about this as the flames being released by the tiles were getting much stronger. It was so strong that I was even starting to get hurt even though I had wanted to stay away.
This feeling was like being in a sauna, but it wasn't the pleasant kind of sauna.
It was the kind that was hard to stay in since someone put too much heat into it, but you also couldn't get out because of reason.
Still, since it had worked, I didn't have any plans to stay here, so I used the momentum of gravity to bring me down.
Before I could land on the ground, the Snow Woman suddenly jumped up at me.
I couldn't help being caught off guard by just how strong her legs were as she jumped up at me. It was almost as strong as my legs after I had buffed them.
As expected of an A Rank Monster.
The way that she was flying up at me, it was clear that she was blaming me for all of this.
She reached her hand out as if she wanted to grab me and choke me out, but it was hard for her with the heat of the flames.
It was even so hot that she was unable to keep her body intact.
It was so hot that even parts of her started to melt.
During all of this, she still jumped at me as if she wanted to grab me and throw me down.
However, I was already prepared for this.
"You might want to bring me down, but I'm not ready to die yet. So I'll have to use you for a bit to help me block these flames."
I still had the power of the suggestion on, so I was able to move at incredible speeds to move out of the way. By the time that the Snow Woman reacted, I was already behind her.
I pointed up at the flames in the sky and said, "You should do your best to block these."
She looked at me like I was a crazy person.
