"He is begging." Blass told Dohyuk, "He is begging to his god, Vehume, for power to end this fight."
"…"
It was probably not too easy. This labyrinth blocked all power from Vehume and if he granted his power without an exchange in this condition, he would pay dearly for it.
"There's no time to waste. If Vehume grants the power to him, you won't be able to overcome the difference in physical power with your skills. You will have to finish it fast. Or are you out of energy? Then I will…"
Blass spoke quickly, and before he could finish, an item for Dohyuk to digest popped up from the ground.
"I don't need it."
Dohyuk refused it without even glancing at the item.
"What?"
"You told me while ago that you don't believe me. And that's why you can't just give me an item first. You are right." Dohyuk nodded, "I'll show you first. I will have you give me everything rather than have you provide me with little by little over time."
Dohyuk then moved out. It was the right timing, as Ilhu also got up.
"You have become..." Dohyuk spoke to Ilhu, "...more handsome."
Ilhu now had no face other than his mouth. Even his ears were disfigured and his mouth now reached the end of his face. His body was also twitching, making weird sounds as it grew bigger. It seemed that Vehume had decided to invest everything into Ilhu.
The metal ground Ilhu was standing on was crushed. Was it because of the weight of his body? Or it his sheer power? Whatever the case, Ilhu, or the being that was used to be Ilhu, now had a body that was beyond human. It was possibly strong enough to even fight on equal terms with Jung Ilgyu.
When he opened his mouth, a long tongue was let out through his newly-acquired sharp teeth. It was a meter-long tentacle that could be used as a weapon on its own.
"That's…" Dohyuk readied himself for Ilhu's charge. "Everything you got?"
There was no answer other than Jung Ilhu charging at Dohyuk. Before Dohyuk could react, Ilhu's tongue penetrated Dohyuk's chest. He was ready, but he couldn't react at all. Ilhu used both hands to grab Dohyuk's neck and arm. The tongue began sucking Dohyuk's blood.
It was quick, but Dohyuk did not fight back. He silently began to tracing one of his memories.
Five days ago, Giwon had told him about it.
"You should save that for last."
They were on their way back after they had fun at Yabadop's region. Dohyuk now trusted Giwon after the incident in Yabadop's region and he shared his secret about him being a god to Giwon.
"Save it? Why?"
"It will serve to prove your power, but it has a weakness. You said you defeated Kang Changkun who borrowed Grava's power. Of course, it's because you were formidable, but it also means…"
"I was stronger than Grava's power."
"Yes. You were able to fight in close combat with Changkun and his hyper regeneration skill did not work well against you."
Giwon mentioned the fact about one skill being weaker than another. So was the power between gods.
"Power between gods. Or options and Natures… they all have weaknesses. There are some weaknesses that one doesn't even realize they may have."
So, even when one had a secret weapon to deal with everything, it could be very wrong to solely rely on it just in case.
"Let's say Changkun served a 'water' type god, or had an item that resisted fire - you would have been in trouble. So, unless it's a case where you don't have any control.."
"You're saying I should make a careful analysis as the enemy gets stronger." Dohyuk shrugged, "Oh, and sorry for interrupting you."
"No, you understand my advice."
Dohyuk understood and heeded the advice. After all, he was the one who had almost no knowledge about this world.
