A white sword.
It was the sword of the Sword Emperor, the symbol of the number one sword in the Orthodox Faction.
The Sword Empress, who had regained her senses, couldn't help but feel relieved as soon as she saw the sword.
Because no matter what situation arose, the Sword Emperor would solve it.
The Sword Emperor was such a person to the Sword Empress and to the Orthodox Faction.
But soon, she rembered one fact.
The Sword Emperor was no longer in this world.
Then who was the owner of that sword?
The thought was not long.
If it was soone holding the sword of the dead Sword Emperor and blocking the enemy on the side of the Orthodox Faction, there could only be one person.
That's right. That child was the Sword Emperor of this era.
Why was that child here now, whether this situation was a coincidence, a fate, or an inevitability... she didn't know for sure, but what was important was that the child who had inherited the true intentions of the Sword Emperor, not anyone else, was here.
The only variable that could change the desperate situation had appeared.
However, would that sword reach the opponent?
Unfortunately, the child of the Sword Emperor seed to have a weak achievent yet. No matter how much he had inherited the true intentions of the Sword Emperor, he was only at the age of majority.
On the other hand, the opponent was a master whose age could not be estimated.
It was amazing enough that he had reached the Profound Realm at a young age, but the opponent was bad.
She couldn't let the child of the Sword Emperor die here.
No! She couldn't let anyone else die.
Because she was the Sword Empress.
It was around the ti the Sword Empress raised her body.
The Sword Empress's eyes widened in surprise.
If he had inherited the true intentions of the Sword Emperor, she had expected the realm of the child of the Sword Emperor to be the Profound Will.
But the absurd movent that the child of the Sword Emperor had just shown.
And the words that flowed from the man who was presud to be behind all this.
"You, you are of the Profound Other."
The Profound Other.
Although she couldn't be sure if those words were true or not, if the child of the Sword Emperor had really reached the realm of the Profound Other, she had to save that child no matter what, leaving everything else aside.
Perhaps her eting that child here was a fate given to her by heaven.
'I see.'
The Sword Empress realized the aning of her regaining consciousness at this mont.
'This is my last use.'
To present a new path for the future.
The Sword Empress was once again holding her sword and facing the enemy to fulfill her last mission.
*
"Hehehe. Are you going to face with a body that's about to die, Sword Empress!"
"Even if I die, I will take you with !"
"Even if you're about to die, your words are as smooth as an Orthodox Faction mber. This ti, I'll completely cut off your breath!"
The Sword Empress took in the entire situation of the battlefield.
She could be proud that she had lived her whole life close to death.
Harming soone, poisoning them, assassinating them was natural for the Sword Empress. Although that act was not justified, if she didn't do it, she couldn't be recognized for her value.
Everyone was afraid of her. They also despised her. And they looked down on her. The Sword Empress, who could only prove her value as a re tool, had thus pushed herself into a pit full of all kinds of corpses.
The mont the Sword Empress gave up everything, she received an unexpected favor and was saved.
-Child. Why are you squatting here at night instead of going ho?
-I don't have a ho. No one welcos .
-Then will you follow this old man?
-Where is that place?
-It's called the Sword Pavilion.
My ho.
The place where all my things are.
Hainan.
The Sword Empress could never forgive the evil group that had appeared to harm such a Hainan.
Even if she could never move again after this mont.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully."
The Sword Empress kicked off the ground. The mont she moved, a pain as if all the great and fine ridians in her body were being torn apart washed over her. A shock that made her feel like she would lose consciousness at any mont was transmitted. The Sword Empress clenched her molars.
She focused only on what she had to do.
'Kill!'
This was the third ti she had fought the opponent in front of her. And only after three fights could the Sword Empress gauge the opponent's realm.
That man's realm was the second stage of the Profound Manifestation.
Although it was not certain, the Profound Manifestation was known to be divided into a total of 10 stages according to the usage rate of the fine ridians.
The first stage was 10%, and the second stage was 20%.
And from the second stage, one could choose a part and strengthen the fine ridians.
Sa Cho-hon had lost his index and middle fingers before, but he clenched his fist as if it didn't matter.
He was determined to finish off the Sword Empress this ti.
If the first stage of the Profound Manifestation was a general strengthening of the body, from the second stage, the strengthening of the body by the fine ridians could be concentrated in one place. The increased efficiency of the body as a result was incomparable to the first stage.
Creak.
Sa Cho-hon readjusted the muscles in his right arm.
The grain of the muscles was splitting. The absolute amount of muscle, the mass, was increasing. New muscles were created with the increased spare muscles. This work was happening in succession.
Creak.
Thus, Sa Cho-hon's right arm now looked not much different from before on the outside, but the mass of the muscles contained within had increased to a level twice that of the existing muscle mass.
This ant that the internal energy that could be contained within it had also doubled.
The human body has its limits, and no matter how much internal energy one tries to contain, there is a clear limit.
The Profound Manifestation increased that limit.
Sa Cho-hon had now broken through the limits placed on his body and was able to draw out a total amount of power that was four tis the power he could originally produce.
This was the sa realm as the second stage of the Profound Will, where the Sword Empress had wrapped her sword in thousands of layers of sword qi.
Sa Cho-hon went one step further from here. He increased the efficiency to the extre. He compressed the muscles once more. He increased the amount of muscle within the sa volu. Thus, the total amount of power he could now produce was six tis the original. This arm now contained enough power to pierce a hole in a small mountain.
This much power would be enough to finish off the Sword Empress, who looked like she would die at any mont.
The Sword Empress raised her sword.
She created a mysterious scene where the air around the sword was being cut.
She had seen it several tis.
And every ti she saw it, it was a beautiful and perfect sword qi that made her admire it.
The strange regret that she would never see it again, and Sa Cho-hon tried to extend his fist.
At that mont, Sa Cho-hon's eyes widened at the change that occurred from the Sword Empress's sword qi.
Sa Cho-hon noticed what the Sword Empress was trying to do now.
"Are you trying to take with you?"
"There's no reason I can't."
The Sword Empress was now forcibly trying to reach a realm she had not yet reached.
"Your body will not be able to withstand the energy and will be shattered!"
Sa Cho-hon, although an enemy, purely warned the Sword Empress, who had reached the second stage of the Profound Will, as a fellow martial artist.
The Sword Empress ignored his warning.
'Foolish!'
Right after, on top of the Sword Empress's body, although not as much as the energy enveloping the sword, a qi made of hundreds of layers began to descend. And the two energies soon began to resonate.
Beep—.
Sa Cho-hon felt his eardrums montarily paralyzed by the vibration that filled the space.
He intentionally put a mbrane over his eardrums to block the sound. And he blinked his eyes. Then, a world made of heat appeared.
After that, he was showing a calm response to the Sword Empress's mutual destruction. As if it didn't matter what ca.
Roar.
A change was constantly occurring from the Sword Empress. The vibration that had occurred from the sword and the vibration that had occurred from the body resonated with each other.
Roar.
The two energies were entangled in a disorderly manner.
Soon, from the sword, a sword qi like the waves that relentlessly crashed in the sea of Hainan was constantly blooming.
Slice!
The Sword Empress swung her sword.
A wave of sword qi rushed towards Sa Cho-hon.
Facing the wave of sword qi, Sa Cho-hon felt as if he were facing nature itself. As expected of a life-risking blow. After simply finishing his appreciation, he extended his fist.
Crash!
With a loud noise, a stream of blood spurted out into the air.
The Sword Empress, who was pierced by the dust, was flying powerlessly in the air.
Swish.
Sa Cho-hon kicked off the ground and was approaching the Sword Empress.
The Sword Empress was still hanging limply in the air, showing no movent.
Sa Cho-hon clenched his fist and extended it. Right after, Sa Cho-hon frowned.
Crash!
A single sword ca in between the Sword Empress and himself.
The owner of the sword was now vomiting a handful of blood and at the sa ti flying backwards.
The Sword Empress was held in his arms.
"This guy and that guy, their vitality is tenacious."
Sa Cho-hon looked at the person who had interfered with him.
Yoo Jae-ha landed after minimizing the impact on the Sword Empress's injuries as much as possible, and then said to the side.
"Take the Sword Empress to a safe place as quickly as possible!"
"Alright."
The Rakshasa Divine Maiden, who had joined at so point, answered. She hesitated for a mont.
"What are you doing, not going?"
The Rakshasa Divine Maiden looked at the opponent in front of Yoo Jae-ha for a mont.
The Sword Empress was hit.
Although she knew that Yoo Jae-ha was strong, she didn't think he could face that man alone.
It was right to join forces here. But if they did that, the Sword Empress would surely die.
The Rakshasa Divine Maiden worried for a mont about whose life was more important, Yoo Jae-ha's or the Sword Empress's, and soon ca to an answer.
It was when she was about to put the Sword Empress down on the ground.
"You must save the Sword Empress. I will definitely block that guy."
It was a bluff.
The Rakshasa Divine Maiden had watched all the previous fights. Therefore, she could tell that there was a clear difference in power between that man and Yoo Jae-ha.
Just then.
"It's a request."
At that mont, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden imdiately stopped the action she was about to take.
The probability of the Sword Emperor defeating that man was less than ten percent. It was right to join forces here. It was definitely so, but after hearing the word 'request', for so reason, her thoughts did not continue logically. She just wanted to grant that request.
The reason was imdiately apparent.
A request, not an order.
This was the first request the Rakshasa Divine Maiden had received from another person since she was born.
The feeling that another person was relying on her.
For so reason, she didn't dislike it.
"Alright."
The Rakshasa Divine Maiden thus moved away with the Sword Empress.
Yoo Jae-ha's pupils, who were watching it, were constantly trembling.
For now, he had blurted out that he had to save the Sword Empress no matter what, but now that he had said it... he should have just joined forces.
"It's a pity, but the Sword Empress will die soon. If you had joined forces with the successor of the Heavenly Emperor who just left, the possibility of you surviving would have increased a little, but it's a sha."
I knew that too. If I had done that, the Sword Empress would surely have died.
Instead, I'm about to die.
I'm really regretting it now.
But what can I do?
I can't just let the benefactor who saved by sacrificing herself die.
Although I'm a Demonic Cult mber, I'm not a piece of trash who plays with life.
"Don't worry. There's a pretty skilled doctor over there, so the Sword Empress won't die."
"Are you referring to the Hainan dical Saint?"
It seems that it's a trend among doctors these days to attach 'saint' to their own nas.
No! I'll correct myself. Among quacks.
"Even if it's him, it's the Sword Empress who was hit squarely by my blow. It's a miracle that she has moved until now. If her realm had been a little lower, she would have died long ago! And you will also surely die here."
"So you got your finger cut off?"
Grin.
The guy smiled.
"If you're going to bluff, you should have wiped the blood flowing from the corner of your mouth."
At the guy's words, I wiped the corner of my mouth, and real blood was flowing out. I was so tired that I hadn't even realized that blood was flowing. And it was also true that I had suffered internal injuries when I blocked the blow just now.
I'm screwed.
