Chapter 332

〈 Cheonma (3) 〉

Roselia Grand Temple, a sacred site in the center of Outerica.

“It’s divine power.”

Saint Heinrich, who was slowly walking through a garden filled with all kinds of flowering plants, gently closed his eyes.

I went for a walk to cool off my head during work, but my mind became complicated because I was faced with a more troublesome problem.

‘That is clearly the divine power of Buncheonhoeju.’

Even in his opinion as the best expert in this field, there was no doubt about it.

However, the problem was that the divine power did not originate from the Kang Hwan world.

In other words, it is said to be energy flowing in from outside...

‘But the Heavenly Demon is using that power.’

Moreover, it wasn’t a trick like Hugo used “Avatar Cloud” and star symbols as mediums.

Just as a priest draws upon and uses the divine power of the idol he follows, a miracle manifested by himself in name and reality.

It was said that there was a connection between Buncheonhoeju and Cheonma that exceeded his expectations.

‘No matter what, the sacred power of another dimension is no different from a foreign substance in that world. Therefore, Hugo had to endure significant energy loss even when using divine power indirectly.’

Heinrich quietly looked down at his hands.

According to his will, the platinum-colored brilliance that rose like a haze fluttered dizzyingly, showing off its presence.

There were more gods in the world than the number of dimensions that existed, and the tendencies of those gods were just as different.

The divine power that comes from them also follows that tendency.

‘In that sense, our Lord of Outerica can definitely be said to be a good god.’

Of course, the basis may not be the compassion and mercy commonly spoken of.

If we were to put that into human perspective—.

Putting your handmade products in a storage box, appreciating them with pleasure, and occasionally dusting them off and taking care of them with care... Is this the feeling?

On the other hand, if you are the type of person who enjoys destroying the sand castle you made yourself, and you are the type of person who builds a tower with the goal of destroying it from the beginning, you will be called an evil god by the creatures.

‘Well, how can I, a mere human, guess the will of the gods?’

No matter how much he was called a saint and received various privileges, it was unreasonable.

It would be arrogance... or even blasphemy, to think that this is possible.

“Anyway, I can’t just sit still when his traces are revealed.”

I had planned to actively intervene from the beginning, but this incident made my thoughts even more determined.

It was to a certain degree that I wanted to go directly to the Kang Hwan Realm and participate in defeating the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, it will be difficult for Heinrich right now since he has to take care of both Outerica and Earth.

“Saint, do you have a moment?”

At that time, as he was walking in the garden, a small woman approached him and spoke to him.

It was Isea, an archmage from Earth, a fellow member of the warrior party who had gone through many battles together.

“Ah, Isea. Of course it’s okay. “I just happened to have some free time, so I was just killing time.”

“Thank you so much. “I... I’m a little sorry to ask you this, but...”

After a brief pause, she carefully held out a thick letter.

Of course, it was not a love letter containing feelings for him.

“Oh, I guess you’ve decided.”

“...Yes, I guess it’s a good opportunity for me. I’m embarrassed, but I decided to ask for a favor. Please take care of me, saint.”

It was a letter to her family on Earth.

Asking Heinrich, who can travel between Earth and Outerica, to deliver the letter.

It was extremely embarrassing to ask such a great person, a saint, but this was something he suggested in order to solidify his cooperative relationship with her.

“Don’t worry. I will convey this information privately so as not to say anything unnecessary. “I have now become accustomed to Earth’s environment.”

“Whoa, thank you. Thanks to you, I am glad that I was able to deliver the news to you first. “Everyone must have been worried a lot during this time.”

My daughter, who is only a high school student, is suddenly taken to another world and has not been heard from for nearly a year. Naturally, her family feels like their blood is drying up day by day.

Since we can’t go back right now for various reasons, both sides will have less worries if we can say hello.

Also, it would not be difficult to prove that it was not just a letter, but a type of magical tool containing her video.

After putting the letter he received into the subspace, Heinrich parted ways with her after a short chat and walked back to his office.

As the final advance to the north was approaching, there were so many things to worry about that I couldn’t just relax.

Of course, if a really necessary problem arises, he will always kick out such chores.

‘It’s still okay. You just have to do what you can, step by step. First, after getting a clearer picture of Kang Hwan-gye’s situation...’

His steps toward the office stopped for an instant.

He unconsciously glanced at the battle in the heavenly world and paused for a moment.

“No, wait. “What about that?”

Afterwards, my mind became cold as if I had been doused with cold water.

And he couldn’t bear to speak and just opened his mouth.

It had to be that way.

“...That bastard?”

Harley, who until a little while ago had shown movements that prioritized instinct and wildness, was now showing more systematic and refined movements.

And for some reason, it uses very familiar techniques.

...Yes, the foundation was definitely his German martial arts based on Gwangje Simgyeol.

‘For some reason, he kept asking me to spar with him while I was here!’

At that time, I was suspicious that he was trying to take out his anger by beating him up under the pretext of controlling

his madness... Who would have imagined that it was all just a blueprint prepared to steal his martial arts skills?

“How much do you plan on stealing?”

At this, Mokin-gwang burst out in anger rising from deep within.

He was filled with resentment at the unbearable reality that he had been robbed of his martial arts title in addition to the title of Gwangma.

***

‘My ears are itching.’

A thought like that briefly passed through Harley’s mind, but it quickly disappeared before long.

There was absolutely no way I could focus on anything else right now.

Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Following his intuition, he lowered his head and a pitch-black sword light passed over his head.

At the same time, a long section of space is torn apart.

Some attacks were attacks that even he who used his body to fight could not easily ignore.

“You’re so good at avoiding it, you barbarian.”

“Kahat! Is this exciting? “Try a little harder, bro!”

Although she reflexively tried to provoke him, the current situation was actually not very favorable to Harley.

The Heavenly Demon, which had brought out its hidden divine power, was showing off a completely different majesty than before.

Rather than simply strengthening oneself with additional energy, it feels as if the level itself has risen one level.

Of course, not only was it superior to before in all aspects, but the frequency with which Harley was allowed to attack was bound to increase one by one.

“...is this also recovering? This is ridiculous. “What happened to this body?”

At least during the fight in Outerica, it would have been really dangerous if he had not eaten the wings of the Buncheonhoeju and developed resistance to it.

His strength, imbued with divine power, was so vicious that it cut through not only space, but even Harley’s concept of resistance.

In other words,

Harley moved her forearm, which was almost severed and loosely attached, back and forth to check the state of the joint.

The situation was similar not only there but also other body parts that allowed attack.

At this point, he couldn’t just hide his abilities.

The imprints on the body began to glow all at once, and purified energy swirled around the body, activating latent abilities.

Among them were physical mutations that most people tried not to show.

“Yeah, I thought so. “After all, you weren’t human.”

The Cheonma, who saw the dark red scales covered from the fingertips to the elbows of both hands in response to the attack, nodded slowly as if he had expected it.

As if he had already guessed it well enough.

Rather, this was a surprisingly calm response.

‘As expected, he knew something.’

There was a question I felt while using the techniques I learned from former Gwangma Mok In-kwang.

This martial art called ‘Gwangjesimgyeol’, which uses madness directly, matches Harley strangely well.

To be honest, if we were to consider only martial arts compatibility, Harley, who had only learned it for a few days, was a much better match than Mokin-gwang.

It is surprising that there is already a martial arts in this world that is perfect for the “ultimate evolved life form” whose conditions are completely different from those of ordinary humans.

In the process of becoming familiar with martial arts at such a rapid pace, I was able to naturally realize it.

‘This martial arts.’

This was not created from the beginning with the premise of being used by humans.

This martial art called Gwangjesimgyeol was created from the design stage for the purpose of being used by such monsters... or rather, non-humans.

Yes, for example.

A different race that has now disappeared from the Kangwhan world... a youkai or something.
