YM778.TV Chapter 145: Sekhmet (2)
If I convert him... my strength will become unparalleled. Even the gods won\'t dare interfere with the forest anymore.
With that thought, Lycaon unleashed his latent powers. As he roared, golden flames surrounded him. It wasn\'t fire in the true sense, but his strength condensed as an aura to protect him.
In a flash, Lycaon was before YuWon and swung his claws at him. YuWon ducked and punched him in the chest. His strength alone should have been enough to throw the werewolf away.
But nothing happened.
YuWon stared at the werewolf in disbelief. It was as if his fist had hit an immovable wall. Meanwhile, Lycaon looked down at YuWon and smiled.
"You\'re strong," Lycaon laughed, backhanding YuWon into the nearby tree. "But not strong enough."
The tree uprooted as YuWon collided with it. Through the trail of dust, he could still see Lycaon\'s golden eyes staring at him. The dog had a tougher defense than even the Disaster Mole.

YuWon couldn\'t believe his eyes. It was the first time the pendant had failed so miserably to show someone\'s stats to him.
No wonder my attack didn\'t work...
<Wisdom> and <Defense> both were filled with question marks. It was worrying because these two stats showed someone\'s resilience.
YuWon too had his <Defense> in three digits. But the fact he still couldn\'t see Lycaon\'s stats meant they were far above his pay grade. And that was the least of his worries.
What\'s this about [Invulnerability]?
As if on cue, the system displayed the skill\'s information to him. Essentially, it was a skill that nullified the damage on Lycaon to a certain degree.
In other words, if he didn\'t hit the werewolf hard enough, it wouldn\'t even lose 1 HP. For example, if Lycaon\'s [Invulnerability] had a limit of 100 HP, any attack weaker than 100 HP wouldn\'t do any damage.
So, if YuWon wanted to hurt Lycaon, he\'d need to deal at least 101 HP of damage. But even then, only 1 HP damage would hurt the Lycaon, the other 100 HP would get nullified.
Moreover, the 1 HP of damage would be further reduced by Lycaon\'s <Wisdom> and <Defense> stats, making it even harder to hurt him. Not to mention the werewolf\'s innate regeneration ability.
All things combined, Lycaon was nearly unkillable.
Everyone here is fucked!
At first, YuWon wondered why they had to kill two disasters to enter the world tree. Now he knew why. The creatures inside the world tree were on a different level. But offense was the only way to win a fight.
"Tired already?" Lycaon laughed, slowly walking towards YuWon. "Entertain me more, human."
"Oh, I\'ll entertain you!" Soo-Ah\'s voice echoed as hundreds of skeletons rushed towards Lycaon.
Skeletons of humans, goblins, and even centaurs rushed towards Lycaon. But he didn\'t bat an eye. With a casual swing, he tore through one of the biggest skeletons. The other didn\'t fare well either.
The usual number advantage Soo-Ah might have meant nothing to Lycaon. No matter how many of them attacked him, no harm would come to him. [Invulnerability] was just that broken.
"Why are you doing this?" YuWon glared at Soo-Ah.
"Don\'t be mistaken," she replied, nodding at Lycaon. "I was planning to feed you to the goddess. But with him here, you\'re not worthy of becoming one with the goddess."
"...it was never about the curse, was it?" YuWon scoffed. "You just wanted your goddess, whoever the fuck she is—"
"Careful how you talk about her, backstabber," Soo-Ah snarled, "or I will rip your tongue."
"Her? She\'s my slave. Just like you\'ll be once I\'m done dealing with this mess."
Soo-Ah couldn\'t help but laugh at YuWon\'s delusion. He thought just because he had control over Yeji, he would also control the goddess in her body.
If he had been that confident in controlling the goddess, he wouldn\'t have killed Yeji in their timeline. That alone was enough for Soo-Ah to know she made the right choice by coming there.
"We\'ll see who deals with whom," Soo-Ah mumbled, shaking her head. "For starters, tell me how to kill that thing."
"Like hell do I know."
Soo-Ah looked at him strangely. The YuWon she knew always had a plan. But this YuWon seemed utterly foolish.
"You didn\'t put any points to increase your intelligence, did you?" Soo-Ah sighed.
"What?"
"That pendant you have can show you more than just someone\'s stats. It can reveal their abilities and weaknesses, but only if you put enough points into increasing your intelligence—something you didn\'t do."
"..."
YuWon didn\'t know if he should believe Soo-Ah\'s words. They made sense, but if that was the case, then why didn\'t Anna tell him about it? Even in different timelines, he should have similar gear on him.
"There\'s no time to do that," YuWon replied. Besides, I don\'t trust you.
YuWon kept the latter part to himself. But he knew he had to do something about Lycaon\'s abilities. He had a plan, but for that, he would need someone\'s help, and Soo-Ah definitely wasn\'t on the list of helpers.
