Chapter 71

Chapter 71 – Who Are You?

Possessor, Yoo Eunchae.

The repository of her knowledge was endlessly vast.

She holed up in her room, spending tens of thousands of hours on games.

Someone once said that to become an expert in a field, you needed to invest 10,000 hours.

While holed up in her room, Yoo Eunchae could have become a professional gamer.

Such a person spent tens of thousands of hours on one game.

In this world, there were many things she didn’t know, and she didn’t shine when Han Seojin was around.

Nevertheless, the knowledge she possessed was precious, one by one.

More than anything, it will become even more important ‘in the future’.

Anyway, the subspace created with her knowledge was said to be on the level of a national power.

“...The summoning circle that Sorim created?! Why do you have this?!”

“This is the Devil-Slaying Sword that Cheongsan Sect claimed was lost?”

“Found a cool-looking scythe. Satisfied.”

“Hey, Jo Gaeun! Just take one item each!”

“...Is the sun rising in the West tomorrow? What happened for the Problem Child to be handing out items like this?”

“It’s obvious. She must have caused some big trouble and is asking us to help her.”

At Abel’s words, Shin Yura responded.

Even so, Shin Yura was also holding a book.

‘...To think she was hiding something like this.’

Shin Yura looked at the book she had chosen.

Born into the Magic Shin Clan, she grew up without lacking anything. She enjoyed all that Korea had to offer.

But this magic book was not something that could just be obtained.

It wasn’t something that could be acquired with money or power.

Just holding this book would allow Shin Yura to strike a blow to a mage stronger than herself.

“So. What kind of request are you making by handing out all this?”

“Seeing that you’re handing out rare weapons and elixirs all at once....”

“Defeat the students of the Holy Empire Academy.”

“We can do that even without these things.”

“You have to win overwhelmingly.”

“...How much?”

“If we don’t win overwhelmingly, Master said he would half-kill us.”

“...How much did you teach them?”

“...Sniff.”

Han Seojin made a strange expression as he listened to the conversation between Yoo Eunchae and Shin Yura.

Yoo Eunchae.

He seemed to understand why the Celestial Gods chose her.

‘I can’t figure her out.’

On the surface, she seems to be causing chaos but somehow manages to handle the situation.

She revealed some of her training methods to the rival Holy Empire Academy.

Those training methods didn’t suit the current students of the Holy Empire Academy.

They were best suited for those who have mastered mana.

But these students were different. Her training methods will become their foundation and strengthen them someday.

And if you summed it all up,

‘...In the end, everyone became stronger.’

At this rate, even he would not be able to defeat the students easily.

On the surface, it seemed she was doing something strange, but in the end, she has met the minimum condition to prevent the fox called White-Faced Golden Fur from invading.

The scary thing was that she didn’t act according to a plan. She made them stronger by fostering a sense of competition.

‘Well, she can’t move according to a plan anyway.’

He got a glimpse of why she was called a Problem Child.

And why she had entered this world.

It felt like he saw a fragment of that.

I wandered outside.

I trusted Yoo Eunchae’s information, but I didn’t blindly believe it.

The regressor twisted the timeline, and Yoo Eunchae started causing incidents.

The opponent is preparing to release more stored power.

‘White-Faced Golden Fur.’

The existence Yoo Eunchae mentioned.

In Japan, she was called the Tamamo-no-Mae; in China, she acted under the name Daji.

If she was active in two countries.

Her infamy must be high.

And that would have given her strength.

I looked at the woman.

The followers of demons vary depending on the attributes of the demon king they serve.

‘If the Insect Dragon King devours creatures to steal their power.’

What attribute does the woman in front of me have?

[Activating attribute, Soul Origin Qi (S).]

“Come with me...”

Pop.

The woman’s head exploded.

The culprit was me.

I had wrapped Soul Origin Qi around my hand and exploded her head.

Ssss.

Her exploded head started to regenerate as if time was rewinding.

‘The Immortal Demon King?’

Snap.

I cracked my neck.

“Are you saying you will oppose us instead of coming with us?”

“You attacked first, didn’t you? Where do you get the nerve to complain about being attacked when you conduct human experiments?”

“That was to give you the chance to become the Eternal Demon King...”

“Chance, my foot.”

My lips curled to a smile.

The Immortal Demon King.

In a way, she is also a demon king with the attribute of time.

She rewinds time to restore her body to its optimal state.

That was the kind of ability she had.

‘And they called me the Eternal Demon King.’

Trait, Eternity.

If that power is the concept I think it is, it’s dangerous.

Han Seojin’s talent is so poor that few can properly utilize it.

But even taking part in it, other people could become dangerous.

“Well, it’s fine. Anyway, Han Seojin will end up joining us.”

“Why would I?”

“Because we are already prepared to invade.”

“Really?”

“Yes, if you want to save your disciples, it would be better to follow us.”

I got into the position.

But the woman didn’t move.

A moment ago, even though I had attacked, she only restored her body.

She must have had that kind of confidence.

Wooong!!

A gray haze formed around my fist.

[Activating attribute, Soul Origin Qi (S).]

[Unique trait, Eternity, imbues the user.]

“It’s useless. The Immortal Demon King favors me. Unless you are a transcendent, you cannot kill me.”

Thud, thud.

As I raised my hand, the followers bowing behind her walked towards me.

“However, touching the apostle’s body is also disrespectful.”

“We will block you. Eternal Demon King. Until your anger is appeased...”

“Really? Then try taking this.”

Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.

Soul-Crushing Strike.

Pop.

The Soul-Crushing Strike pierced through the bowing man. It erased his entire upper body.

“The judgment to erase the entire upper body, knowing we have immortal bodies, was good, but it doesn’t work on us. Our immortality is controlling the flow of time that the Eternal Demon King possesses. Therefore, our soldiers...?”

The woman trailed off.

Thud.

The man’s body fell.

Even after some time, the body did not revive.

“...Sir Milo?”

“That can’t be......our immortality rewinds the flow of time. That’s why we have the power of immortality and eternal youth?”

The woman and her group were agitated over the mere death of one subordinate.

Pathetic.

‘So what?’

My Heaven-Surrendering breaks everything that stands in my way.

It wasn’t something that such a trivial thing can block.

“You said you invaded the academy, right? Let’s end this quickly without dragging it out.”

Smirking, I leapt forward.
