Episode 109
[I don’t know why Wu gave you that chain… Nope. That evil bastard might have searched through your memories to find a connection with me.]
Namgung couldn’t hear Momyeong’s words.
This is because the chain, which was old and worn and black, has been purified to a pure white as if it had never been that way.
[It has existed since the beginning of time and has seen countless carnivals. Even my current status is just a kid compared to Wu.]
As if they had been reborn, the chains clanged and clashed with each other and cried.
[You probably heard it too. He is the opposite of the one who worships nature. That’s why he created the proxy clan. To twist what the phase does.]
Nameless said.
[Helping the participants of the carnival and causing unexpected changes in the phases.]
Sigh…!!
The chain moved.
[There have been many carnivals so far, but no one has chains. The person he was waiting for was someone who was literally against Sang-sang’s plan. He would have been the one to mess up the carnival.]
It was only natural.
Who would disobey God’s words in a situation where just struggling to survive is difficult?
[But what’s even funnier is that the guy with the Chain of Woo is also the Revelator of Phase. How on earth have you become such a bastard?]
Namgung chuckled at his words.
“I don’t know either. “Whether it’s Sang Sang or Woo, it seems like neither of them want to lose me.”
[Kkkkkk, so unlucky and proud.]
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!!
[But after reading your past, I understand a little bit. And me too.]
The chain flew towards the demon.
Wow…!!!!
Surprisingly, the chain pierced the demon’s head in an instant. The demon’s head flew off in one blow, like bursting tofu.
[I became interested in you.]
“….”
Although he was Namgung, who had experienced many hardships before birth, even he could not help but be surprised by the ridiculous power of the chain.
“That’s amazing.”
[It’s too early to tease. The power of the chain is not limited to this. At best, this only slightly awakens the chain.]
“This is all? “It’s a monster made up of all the demons you’ve chased and hunted your whole life.”
[My whole life? That kind of thing is algebra. Wu is a being from the beginning. Even if you add several times my lifetime, there will still be more years of his existence.]
Moomyeong actually snorted at Namgung’s words.
[But this is the last time. It would be better to forget about the chains for now.]
“Why?”
[Do you think it would be worth it to handle the power of Woo with your small vessel? If it weren’t for my protection, your body would have already been torn to pieces. Look.]
As the power of ignorance disappeared, the right arm with the chain wrapped around it turned black.
[Don’t trust the chain. He may not want you dead, but that doesn’t mean he’s there to support you. He’s just using you.]
“….”
[Wu (无) is the exact opposite of the rules upheld by the Aspects. Why would the people leave him like that?]
Nameless said in a low voice.
[Because not even the Aspect can kill him.]
“I don’t care how great it is. “If it’s something I can’t use, it’s just a bunch of fake trash.”
[It’s urgent… If you really want to use the power of Wu properly, collect the pieces.]
“Pieces?”
[These are fragments that Woo scattered into the world. If you get them, you will be one step closer to his power.]
“That’s interesting. I once asked Yor about Wu. But he said he didn’t know much.”
[Because even God is not eternal. They die too. Over a long period of time, new statuses are born and empty positions are inherited.]
“Even gods die… This is my favorite thing I’ve heard recently.”
[It may not seem like something a revelator would say, but I really like what he said.]
Nameless extended his hand towards Namgung.
[I who killed my father have no name. But now, through you, I will leave a new name in the history of the clan.]
“The Yasha clan worships strength. “Your will is being properly passed on to future generations.”
[Hmph, those guys can’t even find the message I left, so they make humans learn something wrong?]
Nameless grumbled as if he didn’t like it, but then he folded his arms and looked at him.
[Or maybe you were more desperate than those guys.]
Namgung smiled bitterly at his words.
“Anyway, I came here to get weapons for the next door… I broke it, so what should I do now?”
[Are you worried about that now? I don’t think this is something a guy who broke an intact sword with his own hands would say.]
“I’m sorry. “But I had to take a gamble to attract you.”
[You can just make a weapon again.]
That was then.
Yeonhwa, who was listening to the conversation between the two, came up to them and said.
[I’m so glad I found such good ingredients.]
She took something out of the corpse of a fallen demon. Thick black oil was flowing from the corpse, and a dark red heart was in her hand.
It was an item that did not suit the young girl at all, but Namgung knew her intention the moment he saw it.
No numbering.
Name: Black Heart of 108 Demons
Grade: Legendary (Highest)
▶ Made from the hearts of demons that Nameless, the strongest member of the Yaksha clan, spent his entire life capturing.
▶ Contains the characteristics of all 108 evil spirits.
Items for which no numbering exists.
That means the phases were not created for the participants.
An object that exceeded the expectations of the Aspects.
[Wouldn’t it be the one that suits you best?]
Yeonhwa told him.
[Poison is poison. Evil must be destroyed with evil.]
“Can you do it?”
[Please leave it to me.]
Her eyes lit up.
* * *
[The women of the Yasha clan are very dexterous, but it’s surprising that a kid like you knows how to use weapons. The clan has changed a lot while I was away.]
Tang-!! bang-!! bang-!!!
[Not really. Arms are still made by armoursmiths. However, in order to come to the Sword Temple, my father specifically gave me access to the magic book in Tongtianlu.]
[Tongtianru?]
[This is where the magic books of past leaders are kept. Among them, Manheok, the fourteenth head, was the best warrior and martial leader of the clan. I have learned his 【Penacea】.]
[Hoo…]
Nameless looked at her in amazement as she wielded a hammer bigger than herself and quenched it.
[okay. Was that Manhaek’s weapon greater than my sword?]
[Yes. Is it just Man-Huk’s gloves? No matter which of the past leaders’ weapons you give away, it will be better than the demon sword.]
[….]
As Yeonhwa answered without hesitation, Nameless pursed her lips.
[It probably means that the user’s abilities are great. Because you achieved a feat that no one else could do with an ugly weapon.]
[Hmm, well… you have eyes to see.]
Yeonhwa grinned at his reaction and threw the weapon she was holding into the pond at the shrine.
Cheeeeeek…!!! Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
A scream-like sound was heard along with black smoke.
[Completed.]
Contrary to the goosebumps it sounded, what she was carrying was a sword with a clean, silvery blade.
No numbering.
Name: Gyemyeong Sword.
Grade: Epic (Sealed)
▶ A sword made by melting 108 dead demons.
▶ It contains the power of a terrible spirit.
▶ If you are an ordinary person, your soul can be taken away just by holding the sword, so be careful.
▶ Amplifies the effect of necromancy.
▶ When hunting the Demon King, the level seal is lifted and new effects can be obtained.
Wooooow….
When Namgung held the sword, the blade trembled lightly.
[Commandment. It means the names of the dead. However, demons have no names. So, I hope that through death, I can be reborn from this sword and engrave a new name on one side of the path that Namgung walks.]
[Heung, what a name for a demon. [This is absurd.]
Since he was an unknown person who wanted to leave his name in history more than anyone else, he seemed somewhat displeased with the idea of demons doing something he himself could not do.
[Well, at any rate, they only remain as swords in the name of commandments. But wouldn’t the predecessor be able to leave his true name now?]
[Wouldn’t that be the same for you too?]
Yeonhwa shook her head at his words.
[My shackles were broken the moment Namgung broke the demon sword. I am content to leave Sword Temple and return to my clan. They are such insignificant souls that they can follow your journey.]
“It’s a shame. There are people around me who make weapons and tools. “With your help, our strength will be strengthened.”
[You are a contractor of the clan. Just one Gyu-ryu is enough to help. Don’t try to have too many things. Because it could get ugly hairs stuck in it.]
Namgung chuckled.
“You’re quicker than Gyu-ryu.”
[Because she lived a little longer than that child.]
It would definitely be of great help if we could take Yeonhwa with us.
However, no matter how contracted a person was, it was against fairness to hire a clan member instead of receiving help from the clan.
And that could have been giving unnecessary excuses to those in power.
‘Because the proxy clan is also engaged in their own competition.’
If the Aspects intervened in the Octagon War, the outcome of the war could be turned upside down again.
Yeonhwa was talking about something that happened a few steps ahead in response to Namgung’s words.
“I’m tempted, but… there’s nothing I can do about it right now.”
[Don’t worry. If you come to the Yaksha world, you can always say hello.]
“I’m asking for advice.”
Namgung seemed satisfied with her words.
▶ The necromantic level increases due to the effect of the Commandment Sword.
▶ The increased effect disappears when the commandment sword is destroyed.
▶ Do you want to apply?
Then he nodded.
▶ The demons of the sword are absorbed into you.
▶ Abilities increase.
▶ Necromancy (Intermediate) → (Upper Intermediate)
▶ I gained a new insight!
▶ I have acquired a new skill.
▶ Soul Zone Lv1
Namgung looked quite happy when he saw the notification window after a long time.
“I didn’t think I could raise the level of necromancy with a sword… but it’s okay.”
He seemed to like the newly acquired sword and told Yeonhwa.
[But be careful. If the sword breaks, the abilities you have now will disappear at once.]
“On the other hand, if you catch the Demon King, you may be able to achieve even higher effects than now.”
[You are someone who thinks about goals rather than risks.]
“If not, I wouldn’t have even started.”
Grumbling…!!
At that moment, something like a dark red wave rose beneath Namgung’s feet, and a circular area spread out, burning all the way to the spot where Yeonhwa and Moomyeong were standing.
[…Oh?]
Yeonhwa widened her eyes, as if she was a little surprised by the incoming force.
“I thought I would get it only when the 10th door opens… Just the fact that it has been brought forward is enough.”
Yeonhwa and Moomyeong felt Namgung’s power rushing towards them.
《Soul Zone Lv1》
Strengthens the power of friendly spirit-type beings around you and restrains hostile beings.
The higher the understanding, the stronger the power of reinforcement and restraint.
▶ The effect increases when there is a related title.
▶ Title: Heroic Lord has been confirmed.
▶ The abilities of the soul zone are greatly increased.
▶ Soul Zone Lv1 → Lv3
▶ New effects are unlocked by meeting the level conditions.
▶ Legion summoning was discovered.
“…!!”
Namgung opened his eyes wide at the unexpected notification.
《Legion Summon Lv1》
When there are corpses in the soul zone, you can summon the same number of skeletons as the corpses.
“If this is it…”
Namgung smiled slightly as he looked at his newly acquired skill.
“We can turn the pantheon upside down.”
