Chapter 8: final wave part 2

The final wave descended upon them like a storm. The massive armored beast led the charge, its cleaver-like sword splitting the ground as it swung at the remaining players. Those who had barely survived the previous battles scrambled, their desperation evident in every frantic movement.

Kim Sehan, however, did not waver.

With Basic Sword Mastery (30%), his blade felt like an extension of his body. Every step was calculated, every strike precise. A monster lunged at him—he sidestepped fluidly, his sword flashing as he severed its head in a single, effortless motion.

The battlefield was chaos.

Screams of dying players echoed in the air. Blood soaked the ground. The weak fell within moments, unable to withstand the overwhelming force of the final wave.

But Sehan had no time to grieve.

His focus locked onto the armored beast. It was stronger than anything he had faced so far, but it wasn’t invincible. He just needed an opening.

Then it came.

The creature swung its massive sword downward, the blade embedding itself into the earth for a split second.

That was all Sehan needed.

He dashed forward, his sword gleaming in the dim light.

[Critical Hit!]

His blade struck deep into the creature’s exposed neck. A guttural roar of pain escaped the beast as it staggered backward, black blood gushing from the wound.

A familiar chime rang in his ears.

[You have slain the Armored Executioner!]

[You have reached Level 10.]

[As the first player to reach Level 10, the tutorial will now end.]

The air around him distorted. The battlefield, the corpses, the monsters—all of it began to dissolve into nothingness.

Then, a final message appeared before him.

[Welcome to God's Game.]
