Chapter 103 – The Play’
Wielding Sword.
The rain of swords, moving at will, began to pour down.
Han Seojin slowly walked from the front.
‘He’s walking forward?’
It didn’t matter.
If so, I’ll just cut him down as he is.
No, does it really not matter?
It was inexplicable.
Han Seojin newly awakened his unique ability.
That is the trait related to time, known as eternity.
Demon.
According to their words, he could become a new demon.
They thought they were deceiving him.
But he knows.
Time attribute.
Though it’s nicely called the attribute of time, it’s a nature that cannot fully blossom in the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.
So, they sold Han Seojin.
Because the conditions they offered were enormous.
Iron-Blood Sword Clan.
That place is no different from hell for those without abilities.
Han Junseok deliberately made it that way.
Because that was how it could become the most outstanding family in Korea.
‘And Han Seojin would also find that place to be good.’
Han Junseok sincerely believed so.
Being revered as a demon king in that place.
That was the kind of existence Han Seojin desired.
It was a form of affection twisted beyond recognition.
However, as the head of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan, it had to be that way.
He could not sever the bond with his child if twisted, even if it went astray.
‘But.’
He awakened a new trait.
A trait called Reincarnation.
And the past life oa f transcendent being.
That changed Han Seojin’s life anew.
As a professor, he was personally overseen by the principal.
At such a young age, he was now making his presence known clearly to the world.
He became a threat to the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.
Someone who threatened the clan to which he dedicated his life.
‘Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.’
Truly a dangerous existence.
An ominous existence.
He is crossing swords with the family head despite being only of the same rank. Something that should never happen.
A person in the High Realm, yet he slaughtered ten people of a similar rank.
‘I see why the martial world fears him.’
An existence that doesn’t seem beatable even if they are of the same rank.
The more the difference in realms, the more victory should be visible.
‘I can’t see it.’
The chances of winning are becoming slimmer.
Truly astonishing.
Therefore.
‘Dangerous.’
The presence before me, Han Seojin, who has become an enemy of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan, is dangerous.
Even if I reveal everything, I don’t think I can win.
“One moment.”
The figure begins to waver.
And before I knew it, he was in front of me.
“You...!”
“...!”
Instinctively thrust sword.
Simultaneously, he was sure.
With this sword, Han Seojin would be finished.
...Surely, I had that certainty.
Certainty begins to change.
With a chilling sensation.
Grayish light.
Ashen flames.
They flowed and burned along Han Seojin’s black blade.
Thwack!
The ashen flame drew a diagonal line.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
A martial art that destroys everything of the opponent.
It is a martial art that even breaks down the concepts and images built by the opponent.
On the other hand, the attack aimed at Han Seojin was merely a martial art of the highest class.
It is not a martial art that destroys the opponent like Han Seojin’s Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
However.
Nevertheless.
It was fatal.
““Kuheok.””
At the same time, both spat blood.
Han Seojin and Han Junseok.
Both were coughing up blood, glaring at each other.
Both had distorted expressions.
Based on his current experience with the power, he couldn’t understand why Han Seojin had manifested such an image.
If it were him, he would have pursued even greater power.
Then, there is only one possible inference.
‘Is it that Han Seojin’s original image and the image of Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor have intertwined?’
In that case, it is somewhat disappointing.
Even though he had created a space through Manifestation Liberation, Han Seojin could only muster this much.
With eyes filled with disappointment, Han Junseok raised his sword.
Countless sword stances stood behind him.
“Now, die already.”
The swords are fired.
Han Junseok raised his sword. Manifestation Liberation consumed an enormous amount of mental strength.
Han Seojin moves.
An infinitely graceful and swift movement. It was a speed that even he couldn’t accurately capture with his eyes.
‘It’s difficult with just the Wielding Sword.’
He can kill.
However, Manifestation Liberation cannot be maintained for long. Thus, it is his duty as a parent to allow him to meet his end by his hand.
Holding the sword, he dashed out.
“Haaaaaah!!”
Swords crossed.
Thwack thwack thwack!
A moment of hesitation.
In that time, swords pierced Han Seojin’s body.
Flames erupted from within Han Seojin’s body.
He was recovering quickly,
Han Junseok embedded the floating swords around him into his body.
“Don’t think it’s unfair. It means you’re that dangerous.”
“I don’t intend to say anything like that.”
From the start, the plan to take down a person in the Supreme Realm by himself was flawed.
The opponent was already at the edge.
‘Tsk, I didn’t want to use this.’
It was useless anyway.
He quietly took out a ring.
“Hmm?”
“You know? Divine power is usually strong against demons.”
“It may seem strong against demons. But it’s not a perfect counter.”
It was created and shaped by people’s beliefs.
That was divinity.
Meanwhile, the demonic was shaped by people’s evil hearts.
That was why divinity is weak against demons.
‘It was just a nuisance anyway.’
His own trait, Eternity, weakened its power.
Crack.
A crack began to form in the ring. And what emerged from it was a white light.
[W-Wait a moment! W-What are you doing... Were you fighting against evil?]
Divine Power began to flow out.
The voice, momentarily flustered, started to recover its composure and began to dwell in the sword.
[Fine. If you’re fighting against evil, I will lend you my strength right away...]
“Not necessary.”
[Let’s go, to a place where no one knows, where justice and evil clash... What?!]
Ignoring the bewildered voice, he absorbed the divinity.
‘After clashing a few times, I understand now.’
And he also found a breakthrough to escape from here.
Black lightning began to swallow the white light.
Flames and ice.
Their extreme reaction occurs.
Black lightning made from amplification.
And the divine light of white.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Divine Thunderbolt.
[Trait, Soul Origin Qi (S) imbues you.]
[Trait, Soul Origin Qi (S) $***%***@%@(!!!]
[Trait, Severence !#@@%$@#^!!!!]
[Unique Trait, Eternity !#@@%$@#^!!!!]
Everything was put in.
Gray.
A gray sphere was formed.
The gray sphere began to distort more and more. Divine Power and Divine Thunderbolt. Along with Soul Origin Qi and Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
And the space-related ability of disconnection and the time-related ability of eternity.
A power that simply combined all of that.
It encompassed all light. Therefore, I thought it would be black.
‘Gone?’
Void.
Its form, its color did not exist.
It was merely exuding an immense presence.
Perhaps because of that.
It was uncontrollable.
‘I don’t care.’
I won’t control it.
This was the crux of the matter.
Amplification is a school of thought that uses the nature of repulsive forces.
And he was the most outstanding in that field.
So, one strike.
He would finish the enemy with one strike.
Fortunately, the enemy had a fatal weakness.
‘If I cut off the neck, he’ll die.’
So, just make it so that they won’t be able to withstand this attack.
‘Die.’
