Chapter 149 – Who’s That Woman Beside ? (4)
The surroundings were silent. In an instant, they questioned what they had heard and seen.
They wore expressions as if doubting their own senses.
“Even though it’s the weakest, killed in one strike?”
“…That power, what on earth is it?”
“Ashen, destruction… Surely not, the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor?”
“That can’t be! There can’t be a descendant of that guy! No, could this truly be the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor’s tomb…?”
“Even if he’s considered chaff, his attack power is quite formidable…”
The ones observing started shaking their eyes.
One strike.
It ended with just one strike, so it must have flowed differently from how they had imagined.
“You’ve mastered the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor’s martial arts!!”
A desperate cry from soone.
It was a woman who appeared to be a witch.
‘Is she at least capable of using her head?’
She tried to snatch it away from .
They gave the flow that might lead to a war with us, pressuring .
But their power was diminished here.
In that case, we beco very advantageous.
If those guys could have definitely won at the start, now their winning rate has quite dropped.
‘So they would have to rack my brains.’
The eyes of the other three who realized this glead with desire.
From their perspective, I had just mastered the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique and seed to have killed the weakest of them with it.
“That is…”
The Sword Demon.
The man called that looked at . His eyes were gloomy.
“That is not for you to have.”
“For ?”
“Yes, that is a martial art bestowed by our god to the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.”
“Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique was bestowed by the Heavenly Demon?”
“That’s right. It’s a martial art of our divine cult. A martial art created by our god, the Heavenly Demon.”
The Sword Demon swung his sword. It appeared to be a demonic sword. I chuckled and drew a sword.
“Dark Demon Sword!”
A demonic sword with a black blade, renowned within the Divine Cult.
Even among the Divine Cult, it was notorious. A sword that had killed dozens of its masters.
‘In the end, it’s just a sword.’
Just a sword that followed my Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
“The reasons to kill you have increased.”
“Do you think a re thing like you can kill ?”
“How arrogant. Well, it makes sense. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique is the martial art of a being almost equal to our god. Having mastered it, you must feel quite confident.”
The Sword Demon assud a stance.
As if what had happened so far was a joke, he exuded an intense aura.
“Do you know why those bastards earned the nicknas of the Green Forest King and the Sea King? It’s because our Divine Cult didn’t intervene. Our god rely stayed within the borders after the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor stepped forward.”
The Sword Demon raised his aura to its peak.
It wasn’t a lie, as he possessed trendous power to single-handedly suppress the Sea King.
“In this situation, it seems best to join forces.”
“For now, I agree.”
The four of them were watching us, their eyes full of caution.
I slowly began to ‘reassess’ as I looked at them.
‘First, the Sword Demon.’
Should I let him live or not?
It was a sowhat troubling issue.
‘Make the other three engage one-on-one.’
I needed to orchestrate the overall situation.
No matter how strong I was, I couldn’t handle those four alone. Or, could I manage it now?
‘But.’
Sothing more important than that.
Clearly establishing and growing my influence.
‘I think I can sway the Green Forest King with a bit of effort.’
The Sea King seed difficult. The Emperor had the Empire. The Empire could support , but…
‘Rather than that.’
I looked at Nam Hyerin and Shin Yura.
Shin Yura, who had just started learning Divine Thunderbolt.
And Nam Hyerin, who had mastered the Sword of the Emperor up to the 9th star.
The Sword of the Emperor, when discussing swords, was created by a genius comparable to .
Moreover, my insights had also been incorporated.
‘If I combine those two.’
We could deal with the weakest one over there.
‘It’s too wasteful to discard.’
I moved back using Wind God’s Steps.
“……!!”
“What kind of movent is that!”
They muttered sothing, but I approached Shin Yura and Nam Hyerin and spoke.
“……Isn’t that right?”
Nam Hyerin looked at with trembling eyes.
With eyes so pitiful, any decent man would do whatever was asked.
“Hyerin, you’ve beco more perceptive.”
“No, really!”
“…?”
Shin Yura tilted her head at our conversation.
Then, she glanced at and then over there.
“…No way?”
“Experience is best gained in real situations. While I can handle Divine Thunderbolt, I can’t use it properly yet, so try to catch that slowest one.”
When I first arrived here.
There was a man glaring at us. Was he called a knight? He dressed like a knight, but his actions weren’t knightly.
If he were a true knight, he would have helped when they threatened .
“Did they call him the Black Prince?”
Full plate mail, supposedly worn by knights.
I couldn’t see his face because it was covered, but I could tell he was unpleasant.
Commonly, this hierarchy, should I say. From the High Realm, one could kill people based on their mood.
And at that level, one could even cause the surrounding mana to ripple according to their mood.
The Black Prince glared at openly, as if displeased.
However, he didn’t move.
Perhaps he knew that the first to move here would be at a disadvantage.
‘But it’s a bit botherso.’
That Black Prince was considered strong even among the Supre Realm.
He was a little weaker than the Green Forest King.
‘I will take on the Sword Demon.’
If we paired that Black Prince with the Green Forest King, it should work out sohow.
‘Since he lost the Wind Spirit.’
His combat power has dropped trendously.
I spoke telepathically to the people present here.
Combine with Shin Yura and Nam Hyerin to block that Black Prince.
You take on that witch over there.
Green Forest King, take care of the knight over there.
I cracked my neck and stepped forward again.
“What is that step technique?”
“Wind God’s Steps.”
“…It’s the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor’s technique.”
“That’s right.”
“You’ve mastered the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique and even the Wind God’s Steps? That’s strange. Is there a place there that distorts ti?”
“Why do you think that?”
“Those two martial arts are considered supre in our sect as well.”
“Aha, you couldn’t master them, huh?”
“……”
“It’s a bit funny to judge others because you couldn’t master it, but this ti you’re right.”
Even I couldn’t master these two in a short ti.
It would take at least a week to develop them to a usable level.
‘Though it’s a bit different now.’
What should I say?
In this life, sothing was strange about . As if I had evolved to another level.
‘Is it because I’ve seen the God of Magic and the God of Gas?’
I moved lightly with the Wind God’s Steps.
Yet, I moved faster than anyone else here.
Right above the Sword Demon.
I lightly raised my leg and struck down.
“What an unbelievable speed!!”
The Sword Demon, aghast, raised his sword upward.
In an instant, a fierce energy of demonic qi surged from the sword.
Good reaction.
Claaang!!
The sound of space distorting echoed as the riffraff retreated.
A silent agreent was reached.
An agreent to let and the Sword Demon fight one-on-one. It seed they decided that awkwardly intervening in this fight would be detrintal to their side.
The Sword Demon imdiately switched to offense.
He raised his sword.
Sword energy stread continuously. It soon took on a blood-red hue and began to move like a storm.
‘So that’s the martial art.’
Bloodstorm Demon Sword.
It was quite an impressive sword. It significantly contributed to the creation of the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.
He raised the Dark Demon Sword. Ashen flas burst from the blade.
‘The Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique is not allowed.’
To humble him, I must not use the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.
Otherwise, he would call the successor of the gods and imdiately kneel before .
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
The ashen flas surged.
Slash.
The first to move was the Sword Demon. Bloodstorm Demon Sword. A blood-colored storm surged along the sword’s body.
I lightly swung my sword down.
Boom!!
The ashen flas shook the sword imbued with the blood-colored storm. The Sword Demon squinted.
Whoosh!
The Sword Demon swung his sword. The bloodstorm extended in all directions, targeting .
I evaded it lightly using the Wind God’s Steps.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know that?”
Behind the Sword Demon.
As I arrived there, the Sword Demon, as if expecting it, charged at .
‘The judgnt is decent.’
Swoosh.
A gray line was drawn. As the Sword Demon dodged, he swung his sword at .
‘The boldness is decent too.’
The Sword Demon aid for my neck.
No, pretending to aim for the neck, he was targeting the heart.
‘What should I do?’
With the Wind God’s Steps, I could easily dodge it.
But I wanted to see that look of despair twist in his eyes a little.
From the front.
Breaking sothing he had honed his whole life would be quite a sight.
‘And.’
The line between first-rate and superlative was drawn.
Would he attempt to surpass it? Or would he just collapse?
If he passed this test, well.
‘The Heavenly Demon would gain a rather useful sword.’
It would be nice to take him as a gift for her.
It was definitely not because I was scared.
It was absolutely not to prevent her from tying up and imprisoning when she was slightly displeased.
At that mont, crossing the line between life and death, the Sword Demon wielded the fierce energy of the Bloodstorm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!
The ashen energy and the blood-red energy clashed. As the exchange of blows continued, the blood-red energy began to falter.
“What is this…….”
The Sword Demon’s eyes started to waver.
The ashen fla, the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique, devoured and destroyed his energy.
It must have been incomprehensible by his standards.
He seed to have just reached the High Realm, yet he was being overwheld.
‘Shall I start doing this properly now?’
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Soul Origin…….
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!!
It was the mont the Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique was being executed. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique began to resonate.
“…….”
Cold sweat started to break out on my body.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
It was created based on the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique. It was ford with the intent to destroy anything that stood in my way.
However, the foundation was the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique and the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique resonated with each other if they were nearby.
‘Why is this happening now…….’
Hurriedly, I scanned the surroundings. But there was nothing visible. No, there was sothing. II felt it. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique was speaking.
It said she was here.
“It’s been a while.”
The air was heavy.
re air was pressing down on .
Everyone here had stopped fighting.
They were all stepping back and darting their eyes around.
Simultaneously.
I sensed soone’s presence behind . It was very faint.
A jade-like hand wrapped around my chest.
Arms that appeared as delicate as fiddleheads.
However, I realized I couldn’t resist this.
‘Have they beco stronger?’
Even the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor at his peak would struggle to withstand this.
Her realm had risen.
I felt mana that was close to infinite. Besides that, I sensed sothing like a law surrounding her.
“Wh-what is this…?”
“H-how can a human possess such power…?”
Everyone groaned and turned their gaze to the being behind .
“You, you are…”
Here.
The only one who could recognize her, besides .
The Sword Demon.
He froze as if he were a statue. He tried to bow his head, but she stopped him, preventing him from doing anything.
“Receiving the grace of the Ming Cult, how impressive.”
“O, oh god.”
“You made a mistake. How dare you try to harm my husband.”
“…We aren’t married yet, are we?”
Boom!!
Just before I could finish speaking.
“……”
The Sword Demon’s head was slamd into the ground.
Like a radish about to be pulled out, one leg dangled in the air.
“What did you say?”
“Dear, I love you.”
I couldn’t say anything other than those words.
