Book 2: Chapter 222: No. I don't know anything (5)

Nine's head went blank while watching what was going on.

“Hey.”

He asked Wei a question.

"What the hell am I seeing right now?”

What he was seeing was so unbelievable that he forgot that he was so annoyed he was about to fight.

He heard Wei’s shaking voice.

"What else, you dumbass. You just said it; force!”

Wei was in a chaotic state as well. He even stopped casting his spell to look at Choi Han.

He looked like someone who saw something that was beyond anybody's imagination.

Nine didn't know Wei was in such a state. He was too focused on looking at Choi Han.

“Is it possible-”

However, Wei's shoulders flinched at a thought he had and he looked away from Choi Han.

Force.

And a sword master.

A human who had everything unbelievable had appeared.

Next to him was his ally.

It was the person who made Wei’s magic disappear with her water whip.

‘Can she use force as well-’

A human using force...

That itself was unbelievable, but...

If another such individual appeared, this was not just an issue of subjugating the Beast people. It was an emergency situation.

‘I need to report this to the boss right away!’

Unlike Nine, who charges in without thinking, Wei knew the importance of ‘maintaining the Empire.’

That was why he clearly recognized that this was not a situation to just break everything and barge through.

Chhhhh-

He heard the sound of water at that moment.

Wei turned his gaze.

The blue-haired woman was smiling while looking at him.

She did not have any force.

“...Is it that you don’t know how to use force?”

The woman continued to smile as she opened her mouth after Wei's question. He heard a warm voice.

“Do you not know who I am?”

“...What?”

Wei thought to himself after hearing her ask that in such a casual tone.

‘Have I seen this woman before?’

However, he had never seen such a water whip before.

‘!’

He recognized it at that moment.

‘...What is that water whip? I’ve...never seen something like that before?’

It was neither magic nor elementals.

This water whip was just water in the shape of a whip.

He didn't feel any mana or the power of elementals within it.

At the same time-

‘It is not a Dragon-nim.’

It didn't seem to be a Dragon's attribute.

‘Then what is this power?

This power is a power that should not exist?

And how am I supposed to know an existence using such a power?’

“Pfft.”

He heard a laugh.

To be more accurate, it was a sneer.

Wei saw the blue-haired woman sneering at him.

‘...She's sneering......?

At me? The great and mighty Wei?’

Even beyond the Holy Empire, people quieted down or looked servile in front of a Dragon half-blood like himself.

“Pfft.”

However, this woman was beyond sneering now. She was chuckling as if this was really entertaining.

‘...She dares!’

It was beyond shock. He was now enraged.

Fires were burning in Wei's eyes. Mana fluctuated around him.

Force started rising up as well.

Force and mana.

The fact that he could control both of these things freely was a form of proof for Wei.

It was proof that he carried the ‘great blood’ within him.

That was why he opened his mouth.

“...Why should I know a lowly creature like you?”

Although she used this peculiar water power...

‘Why should a great and mighty being like me know of someone who has no force, aura, or mana?’

Now that he thought about it, he realized there was no need for him to know her.

“Ha.”

The woman let out a sigh-like laugh before shaking her head.

Wei realized something through his rage.

‘This woman is not affected by my force.’

She was not scared at all.

In fact, she looked relaxed as she leisurely let out a sigh-like laugh. But he could feel that she was angry.

‘She’s angry?

She feels anger towards me, a great and mighty Dragon half-blood?’

As he was about to be flabbergasted at that fact...

“If you are going around killing Beast people... Shouldn't you recognize me?”

“What?”

She suddenly mentioned the Beast people.

‘Why would she bring up those inferior and dirty creatures?’

Wei could not follow the flow of this conversation.

However, his eyes opened wide at what she said next.

“How is it that you treat Dragons as gods?”

‘What?

What is this crazy woman saying right now?’

The woman laughed.

She laughed brightly.

She then slowly enunciated every word.

“Even a damn Dragon will bleed the same as us if we pummel them.”

‘What did she just say?’

“...Did you just say pummel?”

Witira gently answered Wei's question.

“What I am trying to say is...”

She gently explained herself.

“Whether it is a Dragon or a Dragon half-blood or a Whale... We all bleed the same when we are beaten up.”

She was extremely angry.

What should she show to this arrogant bastard who considers himself to be great and mighty because he has some Dragon blood inside him?

“You said that your blood is great and mighty?”

She found the answer.

“Then I guess I'll need to take a look. Let’s see what’s so different about your blood.”

She just had to show him his own blood.

Then he should know.

He should know that they were all creatures with the same hot blood flowing through them.

Witira gently moved her hand.

Chhhhhhh-

The water whip headed toward Wei.

“This crazy bitch!”

Witira laughed at the swearing directed at her.

Crack–!

She ignored Wei's force trying to encroach the surrounding area.

She didn’t slash the force as Choi Han had done.

This intangible aura...

Although Aipotu seemed to use Dragon Fear, this ‘force’ was a power for battle unlike where Witira came from...

Crack–!

She just destroyed it.

“Unbelievable-”

Wei became flustered again, but...

It was an obvious conclusion for Witira.

The ocean.

There were no Dragons that ruled the ocean.

Why? Because the Whales were there.

They were weaker than Dragons, but the Whale tribe was strong enough to stand up to the Dragons.

So, would someone that was not a Dragon, someone with force that was not even half as strong as that of a Dragon, be able to fight her?

Yes.

“Makes no sense.”

The scarlet aura wrapped around the force.

Nine's force was already numerous times larger than Choi Han’s black aura.

The intangible aura was not visible, but it fluctuated like a large fire once it mixed with the aura.

He wanted to show this motherfucking swordsman the difference in class.

That was why he used his strongest attack.

‘Yes, I definitely want to show him the difference in class.

I want to show him my greatness.’

Nine was certain that his heart was feeling that way.

He did not see the goosebumps on his arms.

He simply left everything to his emotions, which he believed to be anger.

Oooooo-

The air rumbled.

The moment his power moved past the black yong, the scarlet light shot toward Choi Han like a single dot in the air.

Nine let the sword carry his body.

He then made eye contact.

“.......”

He could see calmness in those eyes.

Nine bursted out as he could not hold back his emotions.

“You think you can beat me with that tiny force?!”

‘Yes, that bastard cannot defeat me!’

That's what he believed.

It was the truth.

Slash.

He heard something he could not believe at that moment.

His force was slashed.

“Ah?”

The sword with black aura slashed through Nine’s force again, before it could even reach his enemy’s body.

It did it so easily.

“How, how could something like this-”

How could it be possible?

Slash.

He heard another noise.

His force was slashed again.

This time, it had slashed through the scarlet aura.

Just two times.

That was all it took to destroy Nine’s powers.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—

The force and aura, which were both slashed vertically, mixed together and exploded.

However, nothing touched Nine and Choi Han, who were at the center of it.

All Nine could see was Choi Han, who was like a calm lake, and the sturdy aura surrounding him.

“T, t, this!”

Nine quickly became angry again.

“This can’t be possible!”

Force shot out of his body again.

This power dominated over everything around it!

His aura shot up from his sword again as well.

This power that made him feel special!

He used these two powers again.

“Bastard, I will definitely kill you!”

Nine shouted in anger.

Choi Han opened his mouth in response.

“Then come.”

“!”

Nine’s eyes opened wide.

Choi Han took a step forward.

“Ugh!”

Nine let out a groan. He lowered his head.

The moment Choi Han took a step forward, he subconsciously took a step back.

He scowled while looking at the foot that had moved backwards.

Choi Han calmly commented.

“ You're scared.”

The anger, the anger that had taken control of Nine...

The wildfire-like rage that had bursted in his mind to swallow the blankness filling it-

It was changing.

‘No.’

Nine's instincts told him he could not let that happen. That instinct made him speak.

“There is no way I would lose to that class-less aura!”

Choi Han responded.

“You must be scared.”

‘No!’

Nine shouted, thinking that was impossible.

“My force is stronger! Your tiny little force, it will crumble if my sword can even touch it!”

“Pfft.”

Choi Han let out a laugh.

“I don’t think that force is yours?”

“...What?”

Choi Han did not answer that question.

Nine’s aura?

It was wonderful.

It was as elegant as the aura of the Mogoru Empire's sword master Choi Han had faced in the past.

However, Nine's was not as great as that sword master's aura.

Why? Although it was elegant visually, it did not carry any responsibility or duty within it.

It was just elegant on the outside.

"W, what the fuck do you mean?! This force is mine, mine!”

Nine shouted and Choi Han did not answer.

This aura that Nine was calling force...

To Choi Han, it was the path that he had walked.

It was the power that carried his life and his will.

It was something that could only be created with one's walked upon path and a belief in the path to be walked.

Nine.

His force was not his own.

‘It is not a belief in himself.’

All that was in his force was a belief toward the ‘great and mighty blood,’ the Dragons, that he worshiped so much.

How could Choi Han’s power lose to an aura based on worshiping others?

Even the Blood Demon's aura, which was created by taking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, was eventually slashed through by Choi Han.

Step. Step.

He simply walked.

“No, no!”

Nine walked backward.

He wasn’t even thinking about fighting properly.

Choi Han scoffed while looking at him.

“You are smart.”

This Dragon half-blood seemed to have instantly figured it out based on instinct.

He recognized that he was not strong enough to defeat Choi Han.

He seemed to be running wild to forget about that, but, in the end, he was caught up in fear and retreating.

“You, you-”

Just take a look.

“I'm going to kill you! You bastards, I will definitely kill you myself!”

Look at him shouting like that with a scared look on his face.

Choi Han scoffed. He then realized it.

This bastard who was acting so arrogant-

“...You’ve never lost before.”

He also had never faced any critical dangers.

That was why this little amount of fear was enough to make him look so desperate to live, making it so that he could only try to threaten Choi Han with his words.

“I thought you would be at least at that guy’s level since you are a Dragon half-blood.”

The Dragon half-blood who should be at the Black Castle...

The punk who had turned into a Bone Dragon...

“You are different from that bastard.”

Although that bastard had done a lot of evil deeds, at least he was not scared of defeat and did not shake in fear in front of death. In fact, whether it was anger, arrogance, or whatever it was he had, he tried to use it to light up his fighting strength to the end.

That was why he had been worried about fighting against Dragon half-bloods, but...

“I was worried for nothing.”

Slash.

Choi Han’s sword pierced through Nine’s hand.
