Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 563 Lost
Previously on Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill...
Drino’s laughter echoed across the battlefield as he witnessed one of his most potent strikes hit home. Now, he only needed to deliver the final blow and claim his spoils.
‘This is incredible luck! Not only will I receive the god’s favor, but I’ll also secure two mythic halos!’ Drino felt immense satisfaction.
In his eyes, Vritra was a complete moron for dragging him back just to hand over such priceless treasures.
However, as he approached the epicenter of the blast, the residual energy was suddenly vacuumed away, revealing a perfectly intact Vritra.
“Hmm, Null possesses quite a variety of uses. Not bad at all,” Vritra muttered. Although his physical condition remained frail, he had at least managed to keep his body whole.
“Oh? I’m genuinely impressed. No one has ever walked away from that technique before. You have potential, actually—you could have been great if you had just listened to me,” Drino said, though he secretly felt a wave of relief.
He was glad he had committed to killing Vritra now; otherwise, the boy would have become a catastrophic threat in the future.
“Tell me, Lizard, how much longer do you have on this planet?” Vritra asked while stretching out his limbs.
“Long enough to slaughter you and reclaim that woman,” Drino replied, his face contorting into a hideous grin as the conflict resumed.
Vritra shifted entirely to a defensive stance, while Drino’s ferocity only intensified.
WHOOOSH
Vritra evaded a strike and connected a powerful kick against the monster's skull, yet it barely caused the creature's head to budge.
‘Dammit, even using Shift, Forbidden, and every other skill in my arsenal, I can't seem to damage him. My only real shot is that radioactive fist, so I need to keep charging it.’ Vritra clenched his teeth and flickered away.
The gauge for his radioactive fist climbed steadily regardless of whether he was receiving damage or dealing it.
Given the sheer magnitude of Drino’s power, the eventual discharge of this fist was bound to be devastating.
BANG
BOOOOM
Drino moved with blinding speed, his strength surging with every passing second. He aimed for Vritra’s vital points, but the youth managed to slip through his fingers every single time.
“You miserable insect, stop fighting back! You have no hope of winning this!” Drino’s fury boiled over. He couldn't comprehend how a mere level 1 demi god was still breathing after facing him.
Vritra manifested a massive blade from goop and swung it at Drino’s neck, but the impact was negligible.
The beast leaped high into the air, kicked off the boundary of his domain, and rocketed toward Vritra, whose form was beginning to fade.
SWISH
Just a split second before his teleportation triggered, Vritra’s left arm was severed.
Even with his spatial movement, Vritra was struggling to stay ahead of the onslaught. With a grimace, he activated time stop, a move that drained a massive portion of his mana reserves.
He summoned his soul wraiths once more, launching a coordinated assault, but Drino’s innate physical resistance proved too formidable.
“ENOUGH!” the demi god roared in a fit of rage. He shattered the temporal restraint and annihilated the soul wraiths again. This time, his hand plunged directly into one of Vritra’s hearts.
BOOOOOM
A violent explosion forced them apart as one of his hearts was obliterated. Vritra spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ghostly pale as the situation turned dire.
He hit the ground, and before he could attempt to retreat, Drino slammed down on top of him, pinning his chest under a heavy foot.
With lightning speed, the monster’s tail lashed out, piercing Vritra’s chest and destroying a second heart. Vritra’s vision began to flicker and blur.
His regenerative abilities were working overtime, but they couldn't keep up with the damage, especially with Drino’s chaotic energy wreaking havoc on his internal organs.
“I’m done playing. Die!” Drino yelled. He brought his blade down, hacking off Vritra’s right hand as well.
“Consider it an honor to perish by my hand, and I thank you for the gifts you’ve brought me.” With a sadistic smirk, Drino swung the heavy sword downward.
Atomic, elegy parasite, and goop all reacted instinctively, forming a desperate shield against the lethal blow.
CLANG
The edge actually deflected off his chest, but the goop was nearly exhausted and the atomic defense was flickering on the verge of collapse.
The elegy parasite was similarly powerless to change the tide of battle.
“Hmm, exactly how many treasures and abilities are you hiding? I’m going to hit the jackpot today, hahaha!” Drino was ecstatic. He could even seize the skills of a divine.
With such power, could he one day grow to surpass the gods themselves?
He didn't hesitate any longer. Raising both arms, he gripped the massive sword with all his might.
Vast amounts of energy flooded the blade as he prepared his ultimate technique to end Vritra's life in a single stroke.
Drino’s muscles trembled as the sword expanded in size, causing the very air around it to vibrate with tension.
If this hit connected, Vritra’s chances of survival were zero.
‘Move… I have to move…’ As his consciousness cleared slightly, Vritra tried to teleport, but the skill failed. He could only watch as the gargantuan blade descended toward him.
Gathering his final droplets of mana, Vritra forced his right arm to regrow. He pointed it weakly at Drino, ready to trigger the radioactive fist as a final act.
WHOOSH
Suddenly, a long, pinkish fabric shot out from the distance, lashing around Drino’s arms and violently yanking his aim off-course.
BOOOOOOOM
Drino tried to compensate, but his momentum was too great. Instead of crushing Vritra, the strike obliterated the ground right beside him.
Chaos erupted as Vritra finally managed to teleport to safety. The surrounding terrain for hundreds of kilometers was vaporized, sending a mushroom cloud of pure destruction into the heavens.
Even those on the far reaches of the continent witnessed the terrifying display, fearing that the apocalypse had arrived.
The scale was far more horrific than the war itself. Organizations like the Golden Moon immediately decided against investigating.
They knew they couldn't survive a conflict of that magnitude, assuming it was simply the Divine Kage making a move against a foe.
Minutes passed before the dust settled. Drino stared blankly at the massive crater he had carved into the earth.
Once again, Vritra had slipped away. But what had interfered at the last second?
He spun around in a fury and saw a group of women standing protectively by the battered Vritra.
Vanessa, Fiona, Diana, and Maeve had all arrived.
Vanessa was holding the weapon bestowed upon her by the Divine; it was an incredibly potent tool, though it strained her current power level to use it.
“M-Mom? Diana? Fiona? Foxie? Why are you all here?” Vritra asked between ragged breaths as his body began to knit itself back together.
“What kind of question is that? We’re here to support you.” Vanessa looked at her son’s mangled body and directed a murderous glare at Drino.
“He isn't an opponent you can face at your level—” Vritra began, but Drino cut him off.
“So, this is your family? Excellent. Since you’re all here, I’ll just bury the whole lot of you together.”
Drino looked them over, wondering if killing them would yield even more loot.
They were only at the lord rank. What could they possibly do to stop him?
Fiona was shaking with unbridled rage. Someone had dared to harm her husband, and she intended to incinerate the bastard where he stood.
She was the first to act. Before Vritra could even utter a word of warning, the redhead had already charged toward the monster.
