Following this momentum, I put additional pressure with my attacks.
Just like the time I fought with the Kelvecore in the demonic realm, instead of opting for an attack pattern, I just poured down as many attacks as possible indiscriminately.
It didn’t matter if the type of attack was fire, ice, lightning, holy, or even physical, for I used every attack I had, filling the battlefield to the brim.
To the observer, the attacks were spectacular and beautiful like fireworks, but to the receiver, the attacks displayed enough force to send them to the gates of Hell.
After all, I had Awakened, Transcended, and increased the strength of my skills to their maximum.
One thing that was amusing was that unlike the average monster that carried some form of resistance against certain attacks, this monster god carried none.
It received damage from all types of attacks, and I could sense all my spells landing direct hits.
Just like that, my barrage of skills came to a stop.
To confirm the form of Ifrit that could not be detected even through the Eye of Insight, I made some distance between us and waited for a bit.
The sound of its screams when its attacks were reflected back at it had stopped quite some time ago.
The area was reduced to ashes, becoming silent.
“I guess that at least hurt you somewhat?”
“…….”
I could see that its fiery red core had shrunk somewhat in size.
The glow of that fire probably signified its life force.
Also, its body that was over 10m in size had noticeably shrunk as well.
Waiting for the cooldown of the Reflect Shield that allowed me to launch an attack beyond my expectations, I casted Holy Block and Iron Skin.
Both these skills also had special effects attached to them.
For Holy Block, there was a low chance to deal a high amount of holy damage as retaliation, with the amount of damage being difficult to defend against.
Let’s assume that for Ifrit, who has an insane reaction speed, it would be able to defend against this much.
However, what about the special effect on the Iron Skin?
Iron Skin puts the enemy in a groggy state.
It was a status effect that could not be defended against.
So even though the activation chance was low, it could put the enemy in a defenseless state for a brief moment.
Not only would it be unable to attack, but I could dish out my attacks without it being able to resist.
Since it blocked my attacks perfectly, my plan was to receive its attacks and allow the effects of the shield to assist me.
Despite its size being reduced, its anger seemed to have grown larger.
Because I was in a situation where I had to receive its attacks, I casted single fire spells to enrage it further.
Just like that, Explosion and Holy Missile flew towards its form.
The damage dealt by these spells were weak compared to my main spell, but since I could cast them from both my hands individually without delay, it probably was annoying to say the least.
And with Explosion, the intense flames wouldn’t subside until the target’s body was reduced to ashes.
Its body was now covered in red flames all over.
However, since I needed to give it a chance to attack me, I made sure to keep a decent tempo and not to overdo it.
While that was happening, Ifrit, blocked all my attacks with its body.
I waited for it to attack for a bit.
However, its form changed into a sturdy sphere.
“What the….. From its shape, it seems like it’s only going to defend itself?”
“……”
Like the shell of an egg protecting its yolk, it completed covered its core.
Perhaps due to the continued attack, it had lost its resolve to retaliate?
I concluded it so and began to increase my attacks in order to break its defenses.
It was then.
“Huh!”
In a split second, my mind went blank.
I was so dumbstruck that I couldn’t attack at all, standing there with a blank look on my face.
It had become a perfect sphere.
Suddenly, its body exploded.
Confirming what was happening with my eyes, I did my best to make distance between myself and the explosion.
However…
This was an explosion I have never seen before.
It was as if all the air around the area was being compressed into a small space and then suddenly exploded.
Due to the shockwave from the explosion, it undid all of my shields.
It was almost as if I had been hit by an EMP shockwave.
All my shields were dispelled and on top of that, it put me under a panic status effect.
Also since it was a singular attack, the Iron Skin’s groggy status effect that had a low chance to trigger didn’t go off.
Afterwards.
“Huhuck!”
Turning back into its spiky form, it charged into me.
With the most recent item I received, Minotaur’s Hoof, I received a total of 70% damage reduction with this gauntlet.
This meant that I received roughly a quarter of the actual damage.
However, it was still difficult to receive Ifrit’s attack with my body.
With my entire body stabbed and pierced all over, I was barely breathing.
If I didn’t have this much of a damage reduction, I was sure that I wouldn’t be even breathing right now.
Thanks to receiving all of its spike attacks, I was able to finally escape the panic status effect that it had put on me from its previous attack.
I had received too much damage.
I wasn’t able to lift a finger while being torn apart into a rag.
I thought that I’d be in incredible pain, but that wasn’t the case.
Perhaps it was because before death, a massive amount of hormones was released?
I felt weirdly peaceful and drowsy, but my mind was on overdrive.

It was enough to allow me to make decisions several times more clear and level headed than usual.
There wasn’t much to do in this situation.
Rather, my choices were rather limited?
Grabbing onto what little life that seemed about to extinguish at any given moment, I let out a whisper.
