Chapter 80 – Do Not Look Down on Me (4)

Yoo Eunchae did not understand the current situation.

She had been prepared to die in this fight.

However, death did not come to her.

‘It was a bit unexpected.’

The sudden appearance.

The last move was blocked by White-Faced Golden Fur.

Transcendents were those who changed the laws of the world.

So far, that was understandable.

Until the moment before the presence that blocked all existence emerged.

‘Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.’

The appearance was the same.

Blue eyes. Long, disheveled hair. Black martial arts uniform.

The appearance was the same as she saw in the illustrations.

‘But it’s different.’

The in-game stats were different.

Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor was indeed powerful.

‘But White-Faced Golden Fur dies from just one normal attack?’

Transcendent.

To Yoo Eunchae, she was a complete transcendent.

Yet, dies from one normal attack? No, even if she were an incomplete transcendent, it would still be shocking.

‘Just how strong is he...’

A realm beyond imagination.

None of the people she knew could display such power... No, they could do it, but.

‘They are all bound.’

Even they are among the strongest in this world view.

However, there was a sense of disparity.

Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.

He was strong.

He was always mentioned among the transcendents.

But the Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor she experienced in the game wasn’t strong to this extent.

That was why there was something that could be inferred.

In the latter part of the game.

As the transcendents gave up their ‘duties’, all forces began to scatter.

Martial artists became infinitely strong when their transcendents returned.

The same was true for the Seven-colored Tower.

They enjoyed omnipotent power again and retreated back to t own worlds.

At that time, players could encounter Heavenly Demon as a playable character.

What she did...

No, that wasn’t the important part.

But who was that other presence?

‘There is someone who comes to mind.’

But if so, what happens to him?

She definitely thought it was the Master of the Purple Tower.

‘Wasn’t it?’

Just as her doubts were about to intensify.

“Infinitely Eternal.”

A quietly heard voice.

...Eternal?

Yoo Eunchae’s eyes widened.

Unique Trait, Eternity.

A trait that seemed to have evolved from the Unique Trait Eternity.

Because there was only one person who used it.

‘No way.’

Was it really Han Seojin?

Was our master that man?

Then, does that mean he wasn’t the Master of the Purple Tower? Or did he just acquire the legacy left by the Master of the Purple Tower?

While she was in such confusion, Yoo Eunchae was shocked.

Kudududuk.

She saw him thrust his hand into his dantian.

“...Huh?”

She blinked.

She thought she must have been mistaken or seen wrong. But she wasn’t.

He thrust his hand into his dantian.

And what he took out was.

‘Crazy.’

A pure white inner core emitted a white light.

Even without seeing it, she could tell.

She didn’t know much, but it was similar to an elixir with tremendous condensed magic power.

Kwadeuk.

And he did not stop there.

He pierced his heart and took out a black inner core.

‘No way.’

She looked at Han Seojin with fearful eyes.

When I died, my time vanished while they kept getting stronger.

Heavenly Demon kept modifying and enhancing Heavenly Demon Godly Technique.

But look at the state of the martial art that guy performed.

‘I can imagine.’

Unfortunately, it seemed he had become weaker than I imagined.

He probably couldn’t go beyond the final transcendence.

‘Tsk.’

But that was something to deal with after building up skills.

What if he went crazy and came to pick a fight with me?

‘At least when I reach the High Realm, I can try to beat him.’

There was still a long way to go.

I’m still in the Middle Realm.

I thought up to there and then shifted my thoughts.

The ashen inner core.

If I consume this, I will at least reach the pinnacle of the High Realm.

‘The problem was that I can’t consume this right away.’

Even I couldn’t consume this openly in such a place.

This couldn’t be digested right away.

Most elixirs could be digested immediately and used in a fight.

The problem was that this elixir cannot be treated as just any elixir.

It was best to place reliable people around and absorb it in a spirit vein.

But now there’s no way to go to a spirit vein.

‘Moreover, this is just before the end.’

I gained a three-day grace period.

But it will take a whole day just to digest this.

‘Moreover, I can’t even consume it all.’

I looked at the students.

Even if I divide this in half and share it among ten people, they probably can’t digest it all.

Well, if they can’t digest it, it’s unfortunate.

‘It’s because they know their limits that they can’t digest it.’

I held the elixir.

I will guide them as much as possible, but if they couldn’t follow, it couldn’t be helped.

‘It’s not that they lack talent.’

It could be due to a lack of willpower or reaching their capacity. For such reasons, they might not be able to absorb the energy.

That wasn’t something I could help with.

I couldn’t look after them forever.

‘They should graduate soon, right?’

The time I taught them was very short.

But most of the students who passed my classes will do well even without me.

However, there are about three students I’m worried about.

Yoo Seolrang and Yoo Eunchae.

And Seon Woohyeon.

‘They seem to try to excel whenever an incident occurs.’

But when you look inside, they are always losing or doing something in vain.

I needed to properly take care of that sometime.

‘But before that.’

I needed to consume the elixir first.

“Master, the principal contacted you?”

“Contact? Why all of a sudden?”

It felt ominous.

It felt like something was about to happen.

And my intuition was accurate.

「Hi hi, Seojin. It’s been a while, so nice to see you.」

“What’s the matter?”

「Isn’t it too much to ask right away after a long time?... Though I want to say that, what did you do at the exchange event to cause such a commotion?」

...I caused a bit of trouble.

But it was an inevitable accident.

「Anyway, you should cause trouble moderately. Fortunately, the Seven Colored Towers and the Demonic Sect are cooperating a lot.」

“...”

It felt ominous.

Of all people, those two forces?

「What, why are you so scared? They won’t kidnap you, right?」

“..................................................................................................................Probably not?”

Come to think of it, yes.

There’s no sudden reason to kidnap me.

Even if it’s those two.

I recalled the last time I saw those two.

「After this experiment, shall we go to a secluded place and hold a wedding?」

What I said to the Duke of Extermination.

「After everything ends, let’s get married.」

What I said to Heavenly Demon.

“...”

「Wait, Seojin! Where are you running off to!!」

I need to escape from here quickly.
