The Broken Ranker

 

Devours Myths

 

Chapter 202

 

Thunder Eyes of Blue Lightning (2)

 

[Golden Eyes of Truth and Honyaosan are merging.]

 

[Magic power has been granted to the limit, accelerating the integration speed.]

 

[Integrating.]

 

[31, 32, 33%….]

 

Though Thunder Eyes of Blue Lightning wasn’t complete yet,

 

as the integration rate increased, more things became visible to Lee Hyeon’s eyes.

 

Flaws.

 

Weaknesses revealed in the Bull Demon King’s storm-like momentum.

 

‘The truth-seeking characteristic of Golden Eyes of Truth is mixing with Honyaosan’s deep-seeing trait, naturally transforming into a characteristic that penetrates weaknesses. If I can utilize this well…!’

 

Lee Hyeon clenched his teeth tightly and quickly unfurled the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

 

[Using ‘Sacred Relic: Ruyi Jingu Bang’ to maintain balance!]

 

Whoooosh!!

 

At that moment, black-gold Ruyi Jingu Bang shot up from the ground where Lee Hyeon’s gaze reached and wrapped around his left arm.

 

He was trying to somehow fix his position to avoid being blown away by the Banana Leaf Fan’s strong wind.

 

Simultaneously,

 

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swooosh!!

 

The ground nearby turned over as more Ruyi Jingu Bang emerged and aimed for the Bull Demon King’s avatar.

 

“As expected, this much won’t do. Well…. If you had already been knocked out of the subconscious, it would only disgrace our youngest’s face, wouldn’t it?”

 

The Bull Demon King looked at Lee Hyeon, smiled, and gripped the Banana Leaf Fan again.

 

“Then this is the second one. I wonder if you can withstand this too?”

 

[The Bull Demon King’s avatar attempts a second fanning.]

 

[Effect: Heavy rain.]

 

Whiiiiing!!

 

Crash crash crash!

 

The moment he swung the Banana Leaf Fan in the opposite direction, the already intense wind doubled in strength, bouncing away all the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and

 

the rapidly growing whirlwind reached the sky, beginning to fill the entire sky with pitch-black color.

 

Dark storm clouds densely packed the sky.

 

These storm clouds swirled and stacked layer upon layer, forming a supercell.

 

Formed horizontally at low altitude, it looked threatening as if it would devour the world at any moment.

 

Roaaaaar!!

 

Wind and rain swept violently.

 

An enormous amount of hail poured down, and downburst descended, turning the ground upside down.

 

On top of that, tornadoes on the surface.

 

Due to the strong winds, it was now difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead.

 

[Dueoksini’s Collar mixes with Somersault Cloud to maximize defense!]

 

‘Damn…!’

 

Crackle crackle!!

 

Lee Hyeon gathered lightning energy and electric current together, wrapping them thickly around his body. Somersault Cloud covered over it, forcibly washing away the gust, but

 

Crack!

 

the ground surface he was barely holding onto with Ruyi Jingu Bang loosened and he flew up into the sky again.

 

Now he couldn’t even stick Ruyi Jingu Bang somewhere to support himself.

 

Everything in the subconscious world was flying.

 

‘In times like this… the only option is to close the distance instead.’

 

Lee Hyeon had to admit that he currently lacked the ability to counter the Banana Leaf Fan.

 

Since everything was being blown away, he couldn’t aim for a reversal.

 

However,

 

using Thunder Eyes of Blue Lightning, he could somehow go against the wind.

 

[56, 57%….]

 

[Searching for flaws in the strong wind!]

 

[Using Golden Headband to acquire more environmental data and attempt analysis.]

 

Whiiiiing!!

 

The moment Golden Headband overheated to the point of smoking,

 

‘Here!!’

 

Lee Hyeon finally found the spot he was looking for and attempted to charge in that direction, stepping on Somersault Cloud in mid-air.

 

The junction where convection currents meshed like gears.

 

Very briefly, there was a section where a vacuum state was created.

 

Flash!

 

Lee Hyeon, having become a lightning flash, instantly penetrated the section and roughly swung Dueokshin’s molars.

 

[Activating Dueoksini’s Swift Thunder!]

 

[Attempting blink.]

 

“Where do you think…!!”

 

But the Bull Demon King wasn’t one to just stand by and watch.

 

[Attempting third fanning.]

 

[Effect: Thunderstorm.]

 

The moment the Banana Leaf Fan moved once more, the supercell exploded and poured down hundreds of fierce lightning bolts.

 

Roaaaaar-

 

Before the countless bombardments pounding the ground surface, Lee Hyeon looked precariously as if he would shatter immediately.

 

[Dueoksini’s roar erupts!]

 

Grooooowl!!

 

The collision of upward lightning shooting toward the sky and hundreds of bundles of lightning bolts.

 

Chain explosions struck the subconscious world. Strong winds shattered, hail crumbled. High heat and hot winds tore through all directions.

 

In the flickering light,

 

Screeeech-

 

Lee Hyeon had somehow succeeded in reaching right in front of the Bull Demon King.

 

A moment’s instant.

 

Huff!

 

Lee Hyeon roughly exhaled his breath.

 

His body was in serious condition with burns large and small. The heat of Thunder Ghost had also greatly diminished.

 

However,

 

His eyes were shining more brilliantly than ever before.

 

[74, 75, 76%….]

 

As Noeancheongjeong neared completion, flaws finally began to appear in the Bull Demon King’s Avatar.

 

One point was clearly caught by Lee Hyeon’s instinctive gaze.

 

[The core harbored by the Bull Demon King’s Avatar is revealed!]

 

The Bull Demon King’s right chest.

 

There was a point where muscle and grain mixed together, forming a large dot.

 

Thump! Thump!

 

The core was beating roughly like a heart. Each time, a tremendous amount of demonic energy was injected into the avatar and into Gyoma King’s unconscious.

 

‘I’ll destroy it!!’

 

But the gap with the Bull Demon King was too narrow to swing the molar, making it impossible to get the right angle.

 

Lee Hyeon unhesitatingly released the molar he was holding and instead drew a canine from Kibisis, thrusting it upward.

 

This was exactly the purpose for which he had made the canine in the first place.

 

To quickly penetrate gaps created during fierce battle, he needed very sharp and pointed teeth.

 

That was precisely the canine.

 

[‘Trait: Combat Style’ is applied to its limit, targeting the enemy’s weakness!]

 

Shriiiiek!!

 

But the Bull Demon King’s Avatar was the same.

 

Being a body seasoned in battle, he realized Lee Hyeon’s intention and quickly drew his crescent blade from his back, striking downward.

 

Kwaang! Kwakwakwakwang!!

 

Rummmmmble…!!

 

The shockwave generated when the canine and crescent blade collided at the midpoint shook both Lee Hyeon and the Bull Demon King’s Avatar.

 

“…Cough!”

 

Blood poured from Lee Hyeon’s lips.

 

He had suffered internal injuries.

 

[00:01:21]

 

[Thunder Ghost’s output is rapidly declining.]

 

[Fatigue: 88]

 

It was a critical situation for Lee Hyeon, who had reached his limits in Dueokshin’s activation time, lightning energy output, and even injury severity.

 

On the other hand,

 

“It’s over. I thought you’d have at least some potential, but it was only half that.”

 

The Bull Demon King’s Avatar was still in perfect condition.

 

Clang! Clangclangclang!

 

Several exchanges of offense and defense occurred in the blink of an eye.

 

Each time, Lee Hyeon’s body was pushed back steadily.

 

“Regardless of what happens to Gyoma King, you should have safely escaped this place first and planned for the future. But your short-sightedness has ruined both Gyoma King’s demonic nature and your brother’s whereabouts.”

 

In fact, the Bull Demon King’s Avatar had taken a liking to Lee Hyeon.

 

Apart from him stealing Honyosan, no human had ever been able to resist him to this extent.

 

So if necessary, he had even planned to use Moon Su-chan’s whereabouts as bait to convert him to Gehenna’s side.

 

If he could steal Son Wukong’s disciple as his own apostle.

 

That would be quite a satisfactory revenge in its own right.

 

But Lee Hyeon only had good momentum and talent, while his vision was extremely narrow.

 

He didn’t know how to look at himself objectively.

 

It was a regrettable disqualification.

 

“Still, dying here won’t truly mean death…. As long as you’re with Bokhe, your ego will remain here and you’ll be able to see your brother someday.”

 

But the Bull Demon King’s Avatar still thought that even Lee Hyeon with only his ego remaining would have many useful aspects.

 

He was curious what form would emerge if he mixed with Gyoma King.

 

With that thought,

 

Whooom!

 

Just as he was about to bring down the crescent blade like a guillotine to sever Lee Hyeon’s head,

 

“…The one with impaired vision would be you, having lost an eye.”

 

Through Lee Hyeon’s blood-soaked face, a sinister smile appeared.

 

“…!?”

 

The Bull Demon King’s Avatar felt a momentary chill.

 

However,

 

[Fatigue: 91]

 

[Bleeding condition is severe. You have fallen into a critical state.]

 

[‘Trait: Cold Blood’ conditions have been met. ‘Banner of Ice’ activates, unleashing an Absolute Zero blizzard!]

 

It was already too late.

 

Whoooosh!!

 

In an instant, cold wind and bitter cold swirled around Lee Hyeon, who had been surrounded by high-temperature heat.

 

The Absolute Zero curse that froze everything indiscriminately.

 

The Bull Demon King’s Avatar also froze solid for a moment in his position of striking down with the crescent blade,

 

And targeting exactly that gap, Lee Hyeon extended his left hand toward him.

 

Flash!

 

A cold beam of light erupted from the crest embedded in the back of his hand, piercing through the Bull Demon King’s right chest.

 

[A glass sword is emitted from the Banner of Ice!]

 

Thwack!!

 

“…!!!”

 

Such an intense strike that it created a hole the size of a human head.

 

The Bull Demon King’s Avatar couldn’t even let out a scream. The power of the glass sword shot like lightning was that tremendous.

 

Plus the Absolute Zero curse that followed.

 

Crackle-crackle-crack-

 

With the core completely blown away, the curse spread rapidly through blood vessels and circuits, leaving no time to do anything about it.

 

And,

 

Swoosh!

 

Thud! Thud! Thudthudthud!!

 

Even a dozen Ruyi Jingu Bangs that belatedly emerged from the ground.

 

The Bull Demon King’s Avatar was instantly captured.

 

The tide of battle had been reversed.

 

Lee Hyeon extended his right hand and grabbed the Bull Demon King by the collar.

 

Grip.

 

“Speak. Where is my brother? You know something, don’t you?”

 

Eyes of bitterly cold deep blue.

 

The completion of Noeancheongjeong was now reaching its final stage.

 

[96, 97, 98%….]

 

“Hahaha! Pahahahaha!! As expected! My eye wasn’t wrong! You resemble our youngest, but you’re already a child who has begun walking a different path from the youngest!”

 

The Bull Demon King couldn’t stop laughing the entire time he looked at Lee Hyeon, finding something incredibly amusing.

 

“I take back what I said earlier! Your insight wasn’t narrow at all! As you said, it was my eye that was one-eyed!!”

 

Explosive laughter filled with demonic energy and madness.

 

Lee Hyeon’s complexion grew even more distorted.

 

“Tell me right now!! What exactly do you know—”

 

“Palmyra Desert.”

 

The Bull Demon King twisted one corner of his mouth as he cut off Lee Hyeon’s words mid-sentence.

 

“Come to that place where Isan is located. My main body will have already arrived there first. It seems we’ll have quite a lot to discuss there.”

 

Lee Hyeon had no time to respond.

 

[…100%.]

 

[Noeancheongjeong has been completed. You have acquired a portion of Bull Demon Killing Intent.]

 

Above his deeply sunken dark blue pupils,

 

a scene of the Bull Demon King and Moon Su-chan laughing and conversing with each other briefly appeared and disappeared.

 

A fragment of thoughts embedded in the Bull Demon King’s deep memories.

 

And…

 

[The Oma King’s Avatar explodes!]

 

[The stay time has completely ended. The Event Dungeon is closing.]

 

With the explosion that followed, the Oma King’s Avatar turned to ash and the Subconscious World closed in the same manner.

 

In that final explosion,

 

the creature’s single eye was clearly looking at Lee Hyeon and distinctly saying.

 

To come to Palmyra Desert.

 

That the clues he sought would be there.
