The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

After inquiring about many things from the system, Karsha settled for one book and a basic Inscriber that totaled 25,000 killer points. But instead of learning it right away, he stepped back and decided to focus on the second level of the Dark Prince Hell Art, Giant Sword.

[ Level 2: Giant Sword ]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Based on the sword pool master, With a thought, combine the floating swords into one mega huge sword and let the Dark Prince Avatar have fun with it. A strike from it contains a certain percentage of the wielder's total attack power and the Dark Prince's Might.

F = 100% Attack Power

E = 150% Attack Power

D = 200% Attack Power

C = 250% Attack Power

B = 300% Attack Power

A = 400% Attack Power

SSE: 10,000% Attack Power

< Note: To unlock this level, the host mastery of the first level should be at least B >

The second level represents a significant advancement from the first, indicating that the creator likely anticipated mastering the initial level to the 'B' level would prove exceptionally challenging, thereby making the second level comparatively easier. At this stage, Karsha combines the swords to forge a Giant Sword capable of striking with immense speed and power.

To access the second level, the user must have mastered the first level of the technique to at least an 'A' level, establishing connections with a million swords. This task would be daunting for many, but not for Karsha.

In hindsight, achieving this milestone typically requires years of dedication. However, Karsha managed to accomplish it in just 200 days. With a million connections formed, he now taps into that vast network of swords to create a single, formidable giant sword.

This transcends normal understanding. Karsha is an anomaly that the technique's creator did not factor into his calculations. Not only has he imbued the swords with an element, but he has also awakened their sword Aura, enabling him to imbue the swords with this Aura, further enhancing their might.

His mastery reaches the A level, boosting the Giant Sword's attack power by 400%. But that's not all—the golden light amplifies it by another 100%, and the Sword Aura EX adds 200%. This brings the total attack power increase to 600%, making it his most potent technique yet.

Karsha's lips curled into an evil grin as he envisioned the dismay on his enemies' faces, especially the Varon family, as a Giant Sword descended from the heavens, destroying their property and cutting down their soldiers and heirs.

"I'm not evil," his evil grin blossomed into hearty laughter. He had indeed exceeded expectations, even from those who doubted him. Access to such a powerful technique at his level was unprecedented, especially with seven more levels yet to unlock.

Of course, unlocking the final seven levels would be perilous. But armed with an enhanced version of the technique, Karsha was certain to sow chaos even with just the first two levels.

"We'll see who has the last laugh," Karsha set his sights high. His target was the entity who had manipulated his plight into a trap, cursing him with the formidable sword technique. "I suppose he did me a favor," he mused. Standing up, he stretched his joints. "If I get the chance, I'll still give him a good beating."

Karsha activated the Dark Prince Hell Art, and as always, the sinister avatar of the Dark Prince materialized, towering like a titan. The pool appeared, and immediately, countless swords began emerging from its dark depths.

< The host must assign a one-word name for combining the swords. Note that this name cannot be changed > the message read.

Karsha smiled as he read the message. Initially unsure how to merge the swords—whether through his connections or by sheer will—he found his answer in the message. After pondering for a moment, he struggled to settle on a word that would enhance his presence on the battlefield.

"Annihilate," Karsha declared after a few minutes of contemplation. It was the word that would strike fear into his enemies' hearts when spoken aloud.

< Word Registered. >

By spending 50,000 MP, Karsha could form a colossal sword that harnessed 700% of his total attack power. Additionally, the description mentioned something called the Dark Prince Might, though its purpose remained unknown to him for now.

"Raise the fortress defense," Karsha commanded his clone, intending to test the strength of his defense. He wasn't interested in verifying his attack power; instead, he wanted to gauge the effectiveness of his defense. Although he knew it was unlikely his defense would hold against the strike, he proceeded with the test.

"Annihilate," Karsha muttered, and immediately, a million swords merged to form a colossal, magnificent golden sword towering 120 meters tall and 30 meters wide, razor-sharp on both edges. Intricate black engravings adorned its surface.

A reddish-gold aura decorated the sword's edge and tip, emanating immense power. Despite its terrifying appearance, the sword's magnificence was undeniable.

Karsha gazed at the sword in awe. "This should suffice," he smiled, then pointed his index finger downward. The colossal sword descended with incredible speed.

"Bang!" The sword collided with the fortress, creating multiple rapidly expanding cracks. Within three seconds, the fortress crumbled into pieces under the immense force of the sword.

The impact was so powerful that when the sword struck and shattered the fortress, Karsha was blown backward. Dust filled the air, casting a brown hue over the entire area.

When the dust settled, a massive crater lay before them. "Damn, that was dangerous," Karsha exclaimed, wide-eyed as he surveyed the enormous crater. It could easily bury tens of thousands of soldiers with room to spare. The momentum behind the sword had been overwhelming, augmented by the Golden Aura and Sword Aura, resembling the impact of a meteorite from the heavens.

With the Dark One still towering behind him and his mana almost fully regenerated, Karsha began summoning another wave of swords to attempt the strike again. This time, he aimed to gauge the sword's speed and its optimal use in battle.

Over the next few days, Karsha meticulously explored his technique, destroying the ground as he experimented. Thanks to his super-fast mana regeneration, he could recover his mana in mere seconds. Each day was dedicated to examining the giant sword.

After three days of intensive practice, something remarkable occurred.

< Your understanding of the Giant Sword has increased. A new form has been added. >

< Ding! You have achieved a breakthrough. The new sword formed is a variant of the Giant Sword called the Golden Colossal Sword Descent. >

< Golden Colossal Sword Descent >

- Utilize your connection with the swords to form a giant sword within the depths of the sword pool, emerging with the blessings of Light and the curses of Darkness.

- Its speed is twice that of the initial form.

- This form requires half the mana and carries 500% of the wielder's attack power, along with the Sins of Darkness.

[Note: The attack power increases with the host's mastery of the Technique ]

"Wait, what?" Karsha exclaimed aloud as the message appeared before his eyes. The Giant Sword alone was formidable, holding 400% of his attack power with an additional 300% augmentation, enough to shatter even his strongest defenses.

It was devastating, but there was more. The second form, the Golden Sword, surpassed even that. It wielded 500% of its attack power and moved twice as fast as the first form. Moreover, the mana required had been halved, enhancing its potency beyond the first form.

However, there was a limitation: he could only use it twice a day, making it a rare and precious asset. "This is madness," Karsha remarked, feeling his confidence surge to new heights as he retrieved a book from his inventory. Having achieved his initial goal, his next task was to learn how to inscribe runes.

< 10,000 Symbols of Runes >

-- This contains the 10,000 basic rune symbols and possible combinations. Learning his book will get you started drawing your first rune.

Karsha, with the help of the system immediately learn the book. At once, his mind was filled with different rune symbols. He sat in lotus posture as he let his mind go to work. After sitting for 2 whole days, Karsha opened his eyes and smiled.

He then retrieved a knifelike pen from his inventory and held it between his fingers like a painter.

< Klix Inscriber >

Rank: Rare (Low Tier)

Ranking list: #95412

-- Tap into the essence of the Runesithing and inscribe your first Rune.

"System, what is the ranking list?" Karsha inquired, intrigued by this new aspect of the item.

< The ranking list is a compilation of all Inscribers in existence, > the system replied.

"Ah, I see. So, how does the number one Inscriber fare?" Karsha's curiosity piqued further, but the system's response halted his pursuit.

< Some things cannot be bought, host, > the system replied cryptically.

Undeterred, Karsha took the inscriber as instructed by the 10,000 symbols of Runes and began drawing—or rather, attempting to draw. Despite his initial ineptitude, his determination drove him to spend the next ten days repeatedly practicing and refining his rune-drawing skills, but in the end, he couldn't even draw a single rune symbol.
