Chapter 1103: Hygrin's Great Seal, Beyond Control

"I don't know what you were thinking, but you should have finished me off when you had the chance. You won't get another opportunity." Peaceful Chaos stated with a cold gaze as the light from the item in his hand died down.

"It feels like a waste to use it here, but I don't have a choice. I must end this and save some face for Blue Oasis and myself. Otherwise, it'll be hard to show my face in front of the others." Peaceful Chaos thought to himself.

Hygrin's Great Seal-despite its name, it could not be considered a genuine sealing item. Instead, it had the effect of swapping a target's highest stat with their lowest stat. This meant that if one had 1,000 attack and 100 defense, they would suddenly have to deal with having 100 attack and 1,000 defense.

However, for the vast majority of players in RML, having one's stat values suddenly shifted around was no different than having one's arms and legs tied.

Most players were used to a specific playing style and focused their stats to match that. If an assassin abruptly lost their agility and had that moved to their nonexistent magic stat, they would be left virtually helpless. The same thing would apply to a tank having their defense stat switched with their agility stat. While they would become faster, what good was that when their class was based on taking blows head-on? More importantly, would they even be able to control their newfound speed?

That's why an item like Hygrin's Great Seal was useful against players and monsters alike. Though Peaceful Chaos believed that it would be particularly harsh against a combat master like Izroth.

Everyone knew that the combat master class had a glaring weakness-magic. The combat master class was incredibly versatile; however, creating magic skills was several times more difficult than making physical skills. That was for the simple purpose that something like magic did not exist in the real world; therefore, there was no basis of knowledge for players to build from.

Peaceful Chaos did not know the exact value of Izroth's magic stat, but he knew that it had to be much lower than his agility. With his agility being redirected to his magic and vice versa, what could a combat master like Izroth achieve?

"Mythical Conjure: Unrivaled Fierce Tiger!" Peaceful Chaos cried out as the ear-piercing roar of a mighty tiger echoed in the surroundings.

Simultaneously, a light orange aura encompassed Peaceful Chaos and an explosive seemed to surge into him as he clenched his fists. Then, in the blink of an eye, Peaceful Chaos charged forward, causing the earth where his feet stomped to fracture apart with every step.

"Hahaha! This new strength-I feel like I'm overflowing with power!" Peaceful Chaos roared.

Name: Hygrin's Great Seal (Magical Item)

Rank: S

Durability: 72,447/98,000

Uses: 2/5

Usage: Upon activation, the user can select one target in their line of sight to be marked by «Great Seal» for 30 minutes. The target affected by <<Great Seal»> will have their highest stat (excluding stats such as HP, MP, energy sources, Luck, or percentage stats) switch values with their lowest stat. For the duration of this effect, the two affected stats become fixed and cannot increase or decrease through any means. Additionally, the user of this magic item will have their highest stat increased by the same value as the target's highest stat.

Special Note: Let one's greatest strength become their ultimate weakness.

"You still dare to place your attention elsewhere?!" Peaceful Chaos shouted as he arrived before Izroth and swung his fist forward.

...Boom!

The heavy sound of a concentrated explosion rang from his fist as the tiger's roar grew increasingly fierce.

BANG!

Peaceful Chaos grinned as his fist crashed into Izroth without obstruction. Thanks to the effect of Hygrin's Great Seal, Peaceful Chaos' highest stat, attack, had increased by a staggering 6,474 points!

Including his own attack as well as the buff he obtained after executing Mythical Conjure: Unrivaled Fierce Tiger, Peaceful Chaos' attack had soared to over 15,000 points!

For someone like Izroth who had such high agility, Peaceful Chaos figured that his HP and defense stats were likely on the lower end. There was no way he would be able to survive an attack empowered by his Mythical Conjure: Unrivaled Fierce Tiger. After all, the total amount before reduction would add up to over 75,000 damage!

Even most high-level heavy armored tanks would find it difficult to survive that kind of devastating blow, let alone a combat master.

As Peaceful Chaos' strike connected to Izroth, the surrounding earth shattered and was upheaved as a large cloud of dust blanketed the battlefield.

Not long after, the dust began to settle.

Peaceful Chaos inwardly frowned with furrowed brows.

"What was that feeling just now? I definitely hit him, but..." Peaceful Chaos thought to himself.

Peaceful Chaos found that when he struck Izroth, something bizarre happened. Instead of his momentum carrying him forward or feeling Izroth fly back from the impact of his attack, Peaceful Chaos felt like he hit nothing. It was as though his attack was there one moment and simply gone the next.

As the dust cleared, Peaceful Chaos' eyes widened in shock as an ugly expression formed on his face.

"How is this possible...?!" Peaceful Chaos scowled.

Standing before him without a single scratch or having moved a single step despite being hit in the face by such a ruthless attack was none other than Izroth.

But, more than seeming unaffected, Izroth was completely unbothered by it—as if he did not even notice Peaceful Chaos' existence.

Woosh! Bang!

Suddenly, Peaceful Chaos started to rain down a bombardment of attacks at Izroth. In terms of power, each attack was only slightly weaker than his initial strike. Still, each one of them was capable of inflicting a minimum of 50,000 damage.

"Die! Die! Dieeeeeee!" Peaceful yelled as he did not let up on his assault in the slightest. However, with every punch he rained down, Peaceful Chaos could feel his willpower slip away as he looked at the unfazed Izroth.

"This feeling...'

Izroth paid no heed to Peaceful Chaos as he examined his current state. Indeed, just as Peaceful Chaos anticipated, Izroth's agility had reached rock bottom. Even the simple motion of lifting his hand would look to be in slow motion to those who observed him. However, there was one thing Peaceful Chaos did not account for. To be more precise, he had no way of knowing that Izroth's lowest stat was not his magic stat.

Without even knowing it, Peaceful Chaos had set in motion something well beyond his

control.

[System Alert: Your Agility has been set to 1 from the effects of «<Hygrin's Great Seal>> for 30

minutes!

System Alert: Might stat cannot exceed 10![]

[System Alert: The skill <<The Unbounded One>> has been activated![]

[System Alert: Your Might has been set to 6,474 from the effects of «<Hygrin's Great Seal>> for

30 minutes!

System Alert: You are now immune to all rank SSS or lower offensive magic.[]

[System Alert: You are now immune to all physical attacks.

[System Alert: System Admin Restriction! Percentage values cannot exceed 999,999!

[System Alert: System Compensation In Progress...]

[System Alert: The legendary-ranked item <<Ring of the Ancient Colossus>> has been upgraded

to the unique-ranked item <<Ring of the Primordial Colossus». (Please Note: This item will not upgrade until the player is out of combat.)

[System Alert: While you have no weapon equipped, all physical attacks will deal 999,999% of your attack power as bonus physical damage. When you have a weapon equipped, this

bonus is lowered to 999,999%.

[System Alert: Your physical strength has increased by 999,999%.

[System Alert: You cannot be affected by negative status effects and physical irregularities.[]

Might-this was a hidden stat that Izroth received from the Ring of the Ancient Colossus. It also happened to be his lowest stat, sitting at a base value of one. Furthermore, the effects from Izroth's title Gift of Divine Speed were still active. As a result, Izroth's agility was much higher than normal circumstances.

All these elements combined into Peaceful Chaos' great misfortune and granted Izroth a power far beyond what a player should be capable of wielding.

As for Peaceful Chaos' attacks, even if they were ten times stronger, they would be useless. Thanks to the effects of Might, Izroth became immune to all physical attacks as well as all offensive magic that was SSS-rank or lower. Right now, even those beings at the peak of the legendary realm would find it virtually impossible to harm him, let alone someone like

Peaceful Chaos.

Izroth looked forward and could see the building look of desperation in Peaceful Chaos' eyes.

'I planned on learning at least the first three parts of the Soul Severing Fist, but I suppose that's no longer possible. Then, shall I end things here?'
