The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up - Chapter 291 - Adora the Monster Part V

My spear made a crashing sound as it struck Adora square in the chest, but the giant Judge’s hammer did not appear. My spearhead also didn’t flash yellow, which always happened whenever Judge’s Gavel was activated.

“Wow…you really are a monster. How are you able to inflict that much damage? It wasn’t even a critical hit, even if it was a Skill attack.”

Adora was complimenting me, eyes open wide with genuine surprise, but I wasn’t happy about it. I lost. My unstoppable spear was stopped by his immovable defense against critical hits.

“Hey now, don’t be so sad. No one has ever been able to inflict that much damage on me. Angel? Claudia? They couldn’t do half of what you did just now. You should be jumping with joy to hear such praise from me.”

“Cut the crap,” I spat at him. This was a huge blow to me, to be honest. That was the strongest attack I could give right now, buffed by not only my strongest buffs, but also by supporters before I had walked out to meet Adora. I had really hoped I could kill Adora with that one strike.

“Whoa, whoa. Was that your strongest attack? Oh, well that’s disappointing. You almost did enough. Bwahaha. Almost. I actually thought I was going to die there.”

“Crazy motherfucker. Who goes all in on the first hand? I was just testing your mettle.” I wasn’t sure if Adora was telling the truth, but I could tell from the expression he made that I really did get close. That just made it all the more disappointing. If only critical hits worked on him, I could have killed him. But I did my best to not let it show.

“Oh, really? Good, then it’s my turn! Raah!” Adora roared as his veins swelled to the size of snakes. In an instant, he had grown into that ten-meter tall monster I had seen so many times on video. He was a lot bigger, now that I saw it in person, but I didn’t just stand there, I got ready to attack. My level 3 Judge’s Gavel may have not inflicted enough damage, but it was still too early to give up.

“Scorching Rage!” A giant spear appeared in the sky. It was bigger than Scorching Rage at level 1, about five times the size. The massive spear came crashing down on the beastly Adora and stabbed into his back.

“Ouch! That pinches!”

“…” Okay, I had to admit it; as strong as the Skill was, it was an AoE Skill. But it couldn’t just pinch, especially not with my current Stats. But that was it. It pinched him.

“That really hurt. I don’t think I ever felt that much pain before.”

-Fuck,- I whispered to swear to myself, quietly enough so he couldn’t hear. If I didn’t, I would have probably lost it.

“Gahahaha! Now it’s my turn to return the favor!”

For a moment there, I had thought that the sun had suddenly set and it was already night, due to the massive shadow that Adora’s raised foot cast. He was a faster than I expected, a lot faster. It was most likely because of Altered Equality raising his AGI.

“Rat bastard,” he said, as I quickly moved out the way and his foot missed me by leagues.

“Did you really think I’d let myself get caught by that slow attack?” Adora was way too slow to catch me. I slashed at his calves with lightning speed, the spearhead cutting through his flesh without much resistance. That told me that his DEF wasn’t that high, and that my ATT was much higher. So the only problem I had to worry about was his immunity to damage, and I was positive he wasn’t completely immune as well.

“Fine! I’ll show you!”

He had to be immune to damage in one of two ways: he was either immune to damage up to a certain threshold, or he was immune to cumulative damage up to a certain threshold. I hoped it was the second way, since my level 3 Judge’s Gavel failed to inflict enough damage in one go.

“Grr! Stand still, damn it!” Adora roared as I danced between his feet.

He was one hell of a meat shield. It was almost horrifying, but I knew one thing for sure; he had no chance of even touching a hair on my head. Then, a message from the now Rank 10 Reversal Prodigy came up.

==[Your seventh consecutive attack was not a critical hit.

Your next attack has a 100% chance of being a critical hit.

This next attack will have its critical damage increased by 1000%.]==

I normally would have jumped for joy, but I was dubious since Judge’s Gavel had failed. I had been really pissed when that happened. Judge’s Gavel was in no way a normal Skill. It was the same Skill that made Anton fall out of his chair and prompted him to gift me 1,000 Stat points just for learning it. But that same amazing Skill was blocked by this guy’s shield against critical hits. Still, this was a rare chance that I had to utilize.

“Backstab! Blink 1!” Spirit Strike was also a good choice here, but I used Backstab instead. If this attack was going to be a critical hit, the extra 100% additional damage could really hurt him. I Blinked right behind Adora and thrust my spear at the base of his skull.

“Gah.”

==[You have successfully attacked your opponent from the back to inflict 100% additional damage.]==

Backstab did work as the message evidenced but again, my attack hadn’t flashed yellow.

“Fuck,” I said out loud. Both of my weapons were useless against his shield. It was official; my unbelievably high CRIT rate and CRIT damage were useless against Adora. I was pissed.

“Wow… that really is surprising. How is that even possible? Just what are you?” Adora said as he rubbed the back of his head and turned towards me.

That was what I wanted to ask him. I wanted to ask how the hell a deity learned the Unrivaled Skill, and where he got his damage and critical immunity, but I stayed quiet. It wasn’t like he was going to give me a straight answer if I did. I just did what I could do.

“Titan Stomp!” I attacked with my spear and used whatever Skills I had, even though I couldn’t inflict enough damage.

He did counterattack while ignoring my attacks, but his punches and kicks never found their mark and just swung aimlessly over my head. Honestly, I didn’t like that I was able to attack him like this while he missed. I knew it meant that I wasn’t doing anything to him, either.

“Spirit Strike!” I didn’t stop, however. It was all I could do and there were too many people relying on me to give up now.

——

Thirty minutes had passed since the fight between the two monsters had begun and the Empire’s army watched from afar.

“Hmm…”

“Should we take solace in the fact that he’s not being pushed back?”

“It’s amazing that he can go toe to toe with Adora the Monster like that, but I don’t think he’s inflicting enough damage.”

At first glance, it would seem that Lee Jiwon had the upper hand, but from Adora’s expression, the Empire’s officers knew that it wasn’t the case.

‘Was that all to that attack? I expected more. Come on. Try your best.’

If the Empire’s officers could read minds, they were sure that was what Adora was thinking. His expression was the same he had whenever he fought the Empire before.

“It’s too early to tell. Even Claudia had the same expression up until the moment she died.”

“That’s right. The commander was also fighting Adora alone, when thousands of us couldn’t do anything to him.”

“The enemy officers over there seem quite shocked as well,” one officer mentioned, and the others turned their attention to the enemy army. It was hard to see, but they did notice that the enemy officers were huddled together and looking at each other with serious expressions. This was probably their first time seeing their commander getting stopped by one person like this as well.

“Get ready. The enemy is making their move.”

“Yes sir!”

Regardless, Adora the Monster was going to be too preoccupied to pay attention to the Empire’s army. The Empire’s five million soldiers moved out to meet the Crootians in battle.

——

“His power is real.”

“So it wasn’t through luck that he was able to kill Angel and Claudia.”

“I ‘ve never seen anyone hold up against Master Adora like that.”

The Crootian officers were confident that Adora wasn’t going to lose, especially with his abilities, but they never thought that the Terran would be able to fight on equal ground against Adora.

“Those Terrans spent the same time in the Otadolon stage as us. It only makes sense that they would have people as strong as Claudia or Adora. Lee Jiwon is that type of Terran,” Navana said, and the other officers nodded in agreement. “But it’s still hopeless for them. God has favored Master Adora more. That is why Lee Jiwon was able to kill Claudia, but is unable to kill Master Adora that easily.”

“…”

“…”

Claudia, who Adora was hopeless against, met her nemesis here on the Judge’s Continent. That nemesis, who was somehow immune to her Time abilities, was none other than Lee Jiwon. It was quite profound to watch Adora, who was freed by Lee Jiwon, now trying to kill him.

“Get ready. It’s time for us to attack.”

“Yes sir.”

By Navana’s order, the seven million Crootian soldiers began their attack, letting their commander know that it was time to take his fight seriously.

——

We had been fighting for the past thirty minutes and I was still in the lead. For now.

“Man, you really are a monster. I think I know now just how you were able to kill Angel and Claudia. Not only do you have the highest ATT and DEF of all my enemies, you’re also just as fast. Just what are you not good at?” Adora sounded like he was actually in awe of me, but I wasn’t happy about it at all.

Those were the words the victor said to the loser. It was like he was saying that he knew that I was strong, but he was still stronger and that he had won the fight by a hair. Hearing those words from Adora pissed me off even more. He was being haughty about it, and it also meant that I wasn’t doing any more than all of the other Terrans he had fought before.

“Don’t make me laugh. You haven’t even hit me once yet. I’m beginning to think I’m fighting against a slug!”

“Bwahahaha! A slug, he says! Gahahaha! That’s a first!” Adora laughed as I continued to attack. I couldn’t stop. If I did, then nothing was definitely going to change.

“Really? Then I’ll tell you again. Slowpoke. You’re so slow, you’ll never touch me.” I wasn’t sure what the point was to keep taunting, but at least it kept him focused on me. Both armies had made their moves now.

“Fine. It’s time I got serious then. Rah!” His veins bulged again and he transformed once more. Only he was now just short of three meters.

I sighed at the sight. “What are you, some kind of transforming robot?”
