Kim Seohyun was deep in thought.

He reminded himself always to be ready to flee at a moment's notice.

He faced a Mine, one whose limbs were severed and a body mostly malfunctioning.

But if that Mine were of high rank, the circumstances change considerably.

The gap between mid and high rank might seem like a mere single tier, but the power they hold isn't confined to that single difference.

It might not be as vast as the sky and the earth, but it's close like the distance between a mountain's peak and the heavens.

And yet, if someone at the pinnacle of mid-ranking duels with one who has just entered high-ranking, the high ranker usually triumphs nine times out of ten.

The Sword Demon, Na Bakcheon.

He's a figure of notoriety.

Upon advancing to high rank, he rejected the chance to be hailed as a hero. Instead, he sided with the Mines, saying he relished the sensation of slicing through humans, killing thousands in the process.

Without a doubt, he's the most fearsome Mine.

Because of this, during the face-off between Lee Seoha and Na Bakcheon, Kim Seohyun was busy looking for an exit strategy.

Lee Seoha's abilities are beyond impressive.

Breaking all existing records, his very presence grows ever more formidable.

More secrets lie beneath his facade than what is commonly known.

If Na Bakcheon were just another newcomer to the high ranks, Kim Seohyun would've engaged in battle.

But Na Bakcheon isn't just of high rank he's aiming for the very top.

It's been over a decade since he etched his name into the annals of history.

Frankly, Kim Seohyun was taken aback.

Even though Na Bakcheon seemed to be at death's door, he was still fighting with everything he had.

Clash!

Swords collided.

The resulting shockwave trembled the surroundings.

I opened my eyes wide.

Ensuring I didnt miss a single move of Na Bakcheon.

Using my Divine Vision, I analyzed every movement.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

How Na Bakcheon gripped his sword, the way he positioned his feet, the actions he took.

I widened my eyes to not miss a thing.

[Proficiency of Divine Vision increases!]

[Proficiency of Black Divine Martial Art increases!]

[This is ridiculous.]

A murmur came from Heavenly Demon, but I didnt hear it. All my concentration was poured onto Na Bakcheon.

Clash!

Once more, the swords met. This time, I was slightly less pushed back.

I manipulated my Black Sword with intent.

With a single swing of his sword, Na Bakcheon shattered two of mine.

But it didn't matter.

If I can drain his energy using two Black Swords, it's still a win.

I channeled Demonic Qi into my legs and sword.

Mustnt lose my balance.

I moved my feet rapidly. My greatest advantage fighting against Na Bakcheon right now was balance.

[Proficiency of Black Divine Martial Art increases!]

The Black Divine Martial Art is a method to masterfully control ones body.

The ultimate goal is to control even the minute movements within ones body, down to the flow of blood and organs.

Na Bakcheon's eyes widened, and he applied force to his legs. His arm moved. I saw through the Divine Vision.

The trajectory of the sword became clear. I evaded in advance.

Its possible to dodge by a hair's breadth, but that's not the best method.

Even a graze is unacceptable.

I cant afford even a minor injury.

His talent would constantly amplify any wound I received, weakening my combat abilities.

I adjusted my movement.

Black Breeze.

The simple, rapid movement technique was most appropriate now.

[Your proficiency in Black Breeze significantly increases. Youve gained insights into Black Storm(B+).]

And he had noted my defensive range.

With just the Immolating Blade, the Black Scales couldnt defend against it.

While the Black Scales boast an invincible defense, its coverage is extremely limited.

The flames blazed.

A mix of black and gray, the colorful flames stretched out from his sword, easily reaching 3 meters.

'Stay calm.'

[Stay calm.]

My weapon spoke.

Holding my weapon, I dashed forward.

-Die just like that.

His words seemed to shake the very laws of the world. He swung his sword. At the same time, I unleashed all the remaining inner energy onto my weapon.

The flames surged. A demonic blade that cuts through everything swung wildly. It cut through without discrimination.

Just when I was nearly there, I slammed my weapon into the ground and unleashed a torrent of inner energy.

WHOOOOOSH!

The Ultimate Art of Black Divine Martial Arts - Abyssal Void: A storm, a dark and forbidden storm, swallowed everything in its path.

It was a storm of darkness.

Denying all, a storm of negation.

"What the...?"

I dont understand.

Na Bakcheon has never seen such martial arts. A martial art using negating power?

The Mines craft their bodies using external methods.

They draw strength from gods outside of this world and twist the laws of this world with that power.

And if a Mine becomes an expert in this, they can use the corrupted powers in this world.

That boys power is similar to these external methods.

But it was different.

Na Bakcheon knows nothing of such powers. He even denies the external methods? What laws is he following?

Whoosh!

Na Bakcheon does not use special abilities.

He simply delights in slicing people with his sword.

However, he used his ability.

His sword, which slices through everything, was swallowed by the storm.

The undying negating flame, the power that warps everything, all were devoured by the storm that denies all.

"What is this?!"

That's why he screamed.

His power disappeared.

The storm denied everything he had.

His martial arts, built over time, the body he gained by sacrificing his own and dedicating the world's magic, and even the reputation he engraved in the world.

Everything was swallowed.

"What the hell is this?!"

It was fear.

He felt this when he first encountered an enemy called an outsider from another world. Overwhelming, yet something he couldnt compete with,

A presence that was absolute.

He was an excellent swordsman.

That's why he could feel it. This world will eventually be defeated. By them.

That's why he became a Mine.

"Heh."

He grinned.

He held his sword. Only the hilt remained, with about 3cm of the blade left. And he swung it.

Rip.

A tearing sound was heard. The black storm, which denies everything, gained momentum.

Rip, rip, rip.

He slashed. And slashed again. But the storm swallowed everything.

Like a void, it sucked everything in. The slicing energy of the sword was soon consumed by the all-devouring storm.

And that was his end.

enjoy! :)

guess it went well

sorry about the delays i've been busy/too tired from school .`(><)`.
