Legendary Broken Player - VRMMORPG-Chapter 827 - - Shadows and Ice

Divine Favor Gauge.

This was the core mechanic behind activating Golden Paragon. The gauge would steadily deplete over time, and if it ever reached 0%, Golden Paragon would expire—immediately rendering Broken unable to use any skills and imposing several severe penalties for 48 hours.

However, the gauge could be sustained.

As long as Broken continued dealing damage, healing, or eliminating his enemies, the duration of Golden Paragon would persist. That was why, with the immense regeneration provided by Gaia and the sustained damage Broken was constantly receiving, he could prolong his Golden Paragon state for much longer.

Unless…

Frostedge stopped attacking him entirely.

If that happened, Broken would slowly lose his Golden Paragon—a dangerous gamble that could shift the entire fight.

But did Frostedge fully understand the conditions of Golden Paragon?

Meanwhile, in this state, Broken wasn't just powerful—he was on an entirely different level. His stats skyrocketed. Strength, Constitution, and Agility increased by 150%. Intelligence increased by 75%. Attack power boosted by 20%. Movement speed enhanced by 15%.

And that wasn't all.

Golden Paragon wasn't just a stat boost—it came with its own set of unique and terrifying skills.

This wasn't some ordinary buff.

This was a game-changing transformation.

The moment Broken activated Golden Paragon, everything changed. He could finally keep up with Frostedge, who had been relentlessly dodging and avoiding direct clashes. Now, they were fully engaged in a head-to-head battle, exchanging devastating blows with incredible skill.

Massive ice swords rained down toward Broken, followed by an endless barrage of ice shards. Frostedge's speed, combined with his frozen abilities, made the entire battlefield feel like it was under his absolute control.

The fight had escalated to an entirely new level of intensity.

Watching Frostedge attack without hesitation, it became clear—he didn't fully understand the hidden mechanics behind Golden Paragon. This ability was unique, possessed only by Broken and Alora, and its details were largely unknown to most players.

After all, Golden Paragon had previously belonged only to the ruler of Dissidia Kingdom and was only ever used in the most desperate of circumstances.

Brando, sitting beside Paul, was practically buzzing with excitement as he analyzed the ongoing battle.

"Is this the move that will bring Broken to victory? What do you think, Paul?"

Paul gave a small, knowing smile before responding.

"Broken is fighting against a ticking time bomb. Once the duration of his spirit skills and Golden Paragon runs out, it's over for him. So we can safely say that within the next two minutes, this fight will be decided. Either Broken defeats Frostedge before time runs out, or the duration expires, and he's completely out of the match."

"On the other hand, I'm sure Frostedge has prepared for this. With his incredible skill set, I have no doubt he has the means to survive just long enough to turn the tables!"

Brando's voice exploded with excitement, fueling the energy of the crowd.

"OHHH, YOU HEARD THAT, EVERYONE! TWO MINUTES! THAT'S ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO SEE HOW THIS LEGENDARY SHOWDOWN ENDS! WILL BROKEN BREAK THROUGH, OR WILL FROSTEDGE OUTLAST HIM!?"

"NO MORE HOLDING BACK! NO MORE SECOND CHANCES! THIS. IS. IT!"

Euna, sitting beside Maylon, couldn't hide the concern on her face as she turned to him.

"What do you think, Maylon?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.

Maylon gave a small, knowing smile before answering.

"Not yet… Broken hasn't used everything he has."

Euna frowned. "But… would he really reveal something he was never meant to show in front of this many people? Isn't that too risky?"

Maylon shook his head.

"I'm sure Broken has already thought this through. He must have a plan to handle it. And the key lies in—"

Their eyes flicked back to the screen, where one particular figure had yet to make a move in this fight.

Euna's breath hitched as she muttered under her breath.

"Pawpaw…?"

Maylon's smile widened slightly.

"Yes."

[Crimson Eclipse (Ultimate Skill) activated!]

Just as Frostedge and Broken clashed beneath the brutal snowstorm, the entire arena was suddenly engulfed in darkness. Gasps filled the stadium—what was happening!?

It was as if night had descended in an instant. Thick shadow tendrils stretched across the battlefield, consuming everything in their path. At the center of it all, Broken's body was completely wrapped in dense, shifting shadows, making his true form nearly invisible. Only the vague outline of his figure remained, shrouded in pure darkness.

This was Pawpaw's ultimate skill—Crimson Eclipse.

For the next sixty seconds, this ability would wreak havoc on the battlefield, drastically reducing the opponent's vision and movement speed by 30%. An overwhelming skill that could change the tide of battle in an instant.

The moment Crimson Eclipse was cast, every spectator leaned forward, eyes locked onto the screen. The only thing truly visible in that darkness was the golden glow of Broken's Golden Paragon, trailing behind him like a ghostly beacon as he launched attack after attack.

The battle had reached a point where no one could look away. The tension was unbearable.

The effects of the skill became immediately apparent. Frostedge, now struggling to keep up, was being hit repeatedly from unseen angles. His health dropped dangerously low multiple times, only to recover at a rapid pace.

Because of course—Frostedge wasn't one to go down so easily.

He had his own ways of ensuring he wouldn't be taken out without a fight.

The moment Infernal Mirage Weapon Cosmetic was equipped, Broken's entire presence became even more menacing. His spear, now wreathed in flickering black flames, clashed violently against the ice-infused attacks of Frostedge. The sheer contrast between fire and ice illuminated the battlefield in a breathtaking display of power.

He fought with pure brutality, exchanging relentless spear and sword strikes with his opponent. Every movement was precise, every attack devastating—yet despite this, Frostedge still refused to fall.

Until…

In the midst of their high-intensity clash, something changed.

Suddenly, Broken's movements became impossibly fast—faster than anything he had shown before. His dashes, his strikes, his very presence became an overwhelming storm of darkness.

Frostedge's expression shifted, his confidence shaken.

[Eternal Flame - Grim Reaper (Conditional Active Skill) activated!]

Gasps rippled through the audience as the realization sank in.

Broken had entered his Eternal Form.

The surrounding darkness and shadows now fully concealed his true form, making it nearly impossible to track his movements. The only thing visible was the relentless barrage of burning spear strikes cutting through the void.

"What the hell is this!?"

"His speed just TRIPLED! How is Frostedge supposed to counter that!?"

"This isn't just an ultimate move anymore—this is straight-up terrifying!"

"I thought Broken was already going all-out—but he's still pushing beyond that! How many trump cards does he have!?"

Suddenly, the shadows surrounding Broken thickened, swirling and expanding until they consumed the battlefield entirely. Even Frostedge, who had been visible just moments ago, was swallowed by the abyss.

[Soul Blast (Conditional Active Skill) activated!]

A deep, pulsing energy filled the air as Broken switched his weapon—his spear vanished, replaced by the ominous form of The Soul Drainer scythe.

The darkness trembled.

Then—BOOM!

A massive explosion of pure shadow erupted from Broken's form, tendrils of darkness surging outward like a violent tidal wave. The force of the blast sent shockwaves across the arena, warping the air itself as if reality had momentarily cracked under its weight. The entire stage trembled, and for a brief moment, the battlefield became a void of absolute chaos.

Realizing the danger, Frostedge reacted in an instant.

Layer upon layer of thick ice walls materialized around him, encasing his body in a protective fortress of frost. The towering frozen barriers stacked rapidly, one after another, forming an impenetrable cocoon meant to withstand whatever devastating force was coming next.

But then—BOOM!

Another eruption!

A deafening shockwave tore through the darkness, shattering the ground beneath them. The sheer impact of Soul Blast collided with Frostedge's ice defenses, sending cracks splintering through the massive walls.

The entire battlefield became an unreadable chaos of black and blue—shadows against ice, destruction clashing against resilience.

And in the middle of it all, no one could see what was happening.

The audience held their breath.

Then—

Brando's voice erupted in sheer hysteria.

"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL JUST HAPPENED!? I CAN'T SEE A DAMN THING—DID BROKEN JUST OBLITERATE FROSTEDGE!?"

All eyes were locked onto the screen, anticipation at its peak. The battlefield was still engulfed in swirling darkness, but then—finally—something changed.

A single moment of clarity.

And there it was.

For the first time in this entire battle, Frostedge's health bar plummeted.

From near-full… to dangerously low!
