The Broken Ranker

Devours Myths

Chapter 244

Sata Wang (7)

[The enhancement of ‘Trait: Tujuan Style’ is rapidly increasing the proficiency of Combat Sense (S+).]

[Skill grade has risen to SS rank.]

…

Lee Hyeon had an intuition from the moment he exchanged moves with Feng Jinghao.

‘I can win.’

Originally, Feng Jinghao seemed like an opponent he could never defeat.

A High Ranker.

Among them, he was an exceptional master capable of replacing a Top Ranker,

and also the head of the Central Hero Committee, which boasted the most Hunters and Rankers worldwide.

He might reach that level someday,

but he thought it was in a place so distant that he, merely a unit leader, would find it difficult to reach.

However,

‘That was the end of it.’

In Lee Hyeon’s view, Feng Jinghao should not have broken away from the Central Hero Committee.

Even if his immediate situation became cornered, he should have waited for a new opportunity like Lu Wucheng had done.

If he had done so, his reputation might have been slightly diminished compared to before, but he could have maintained his influence.

But,

‘He was sick of being suppressed under someone else’s shadow any longer. He must have thought he had hidden himself long enough.’

The mechanism of compensatory psychology had been triggered.

Since he judged there was no longer any need to hide, he must have declared independence along with his followers.

After that, he probably felt as if he owned the entire world.

There was no longer pressure from the Party as a superior organization, nor any need to coordinate political power with those around him.

The Dark Side of the Moon was also supporting him, so he must have run wild to his heart’s content…

But that was the end.

There was nothing beyond that.

The organization that Feng Jinghao had kicked away now considered the Sima Society an enemy.

In other countries, he was now nothing more than a simple terrorist, and even though he had been very active on the Middle East Front, he was still treated as an outsider.

He kept being pushed to wander outside.

And,

As a result, he began to lose the cards he held one by one.

Eventually, even the Immortal Project that had been supporting him.

The Dark Side of the Moon no longer found him particularly useful.

‘Even if he somehow survives here, he won’t be able to find any more use. Russia will just abandon him too.’

Could Feng Jinghao, who was indeed a cunning snake, not know about his such predicament?

No, he would know it all too well.

That’s why he was trying to catch Lee Hyeon here by any means necessary.

‘Of course, that won’t happen.’

It was the miserable downfall of a power holder who once dominated the entire world.

However,

‘That much isn’t enough.’

Lee Hyeon intended to destroy everything that Feng Jinghao possessed.

His established position, the martial arts he had built up, the karma he had created, the future he had dreamed of,

everything and anything related to him.

If only to hold a memorial service for the comrades who died because of that bastard.

[Warning! Your emotions are too agitated. The mana circuit is overheating.]

[Warning! You may fall into an abnormal state. Stay calm…]

Kwarrrrrrung!!

[Rage Energy from Dueoksini’s Thunder Breath (SSS) gathers in your molars. The epic of the Heavenly Dokkaebi is linked.]

[Accumulated emotions have broken through the threshold. The skill begins preparing for a new transformation.]

[Searching for new skill.]

…

[Dueoksini’s Roar erupts!]

The characteristic of Dueoksini’s Thunder Breath was emotional change.

The more violently Lee Hyeon’s anger exploded, the more its power was enhanced. The reason lightning energy was called rage energy was precisely because of this.

Lightning of tremendous intensity fell from the sky like a pillar.

“You bastard…!! You who couldn’t even look me properly in the face, how dare you make such an expression!”

Feng Jinghao was now completely consumed by demonic nature. The heart demon arising from deep anger had summoned the demonic nature.

His face turned pitch black and gave off a terrible stench.

A smell like rotting corpses.

Paaaat!

The black palm wind released from his violently thrust double palms exploded as if to destroy the lightning bolt, but,

Kwakwakwakwang!

Urrrrung-

The resistance was only momentary, as Dueokshin’s molars mercilessly shattered the palm wind and severed his left arm before passing through.

If he hadn’t deflected it, it would have been a strike that would have blown away both his wrists entirely.

Kwadeuk!

Puhwaaaak!

“…!!”

Feng Jinghao realized half a beat late that his left hand, firmly armed with aura, had been severed.

No, rather than being severed, it seemed more accurate to say it had been brutally torn off or shattered.

That’s how tremendous the weight carried in Dueokshin’s molars was.

However,

it was that shocking to Feng Jinghao.

‘How…!’

Since pioneering the realm of mastery, he had never been injured in martial arts.

But the biggest problem was the lightning energy that entered through his severed arm.

Pajik! Pajijijik!!

The lightning energy that penetrated his body destroyed his mana circuits, and the current flowing along his exterior simultaneously destroyed his skin and muscle tissue.

A simultaneous assault from inside and outside.

[The penetrating lightning energy is spreading like poison!]

For a moment, even when he tried to shake it off with demonic energy, the anti-magic properties unique to lightning attributes only made the resistance greater…!

“What are you surprised about? This is just the beginning.”

Lee Hyeon continued his next offensive while letting out a cold sneer, as if he knew exactly why he was so surprised.

‘How dare!!’

Feng Jinghao’s anger grew even greater in such a situation, but he had no choice but to prepare for the next offensive.

Buuuuung-

Pajijijijijik!!

The molar changed direction mid-way and struck his side.

Feng Jinghao hastily twisted his body and deflected it with his right staff. If he had met it head-on, he would have worried about losing another hand.

Claaang!!

“…!!!”

But even deflecting it, the power was so strong that his entire body rang beyond his wrist, shaking his internal organs to the core.

On top of that, the lightning that had penetrated his body again.

And then,

Whoosh!

Lee Hyeon seized the moment when Feng Jinghao staggered briefly, twisting his body to launch a leg technique.

Leaf Tiger Kick utilizing the principles of the Warrior Mirror.

Lee Hyeon was already rapidly developing his own martial arts that could use not only the axe but his entire body as a weapon.

Whoooom!!

“Gah!”

His shin struck precisely at Feng Jinghao’s side.

The exact spot he had tried to hit with the molar just moments before.

Feng Jinghao coughed up blood as he was violently thrown back, rolling across the ground for quite a distance.

‘How… how can this be…!!’

The power contained in the leg technique was as strong as Dueokshin’s molar. The Sangbosimgeum-pa fused with his skeleton had added tremendous weight to it.

Because of this, three or four ribs were broken.

Some had apparently pierced his internal organs, making even breathing difficult.

As Feng Jinghao’s body wouldn’t follow his thoughts as easily as he wanted, he cursed and tried to get up somehow, but,

Swish!

“…!?”

This time, three streams of Ruyi Jingu Bang burst through the ground, forcibly binding his hands and feet.

Simultaneously, Energy Drain occurred.

[‘Sacred Relic: Ruyi Jingu Bang’ attempts to seal the Maein and begins rapidly absorbing demonic energy!]

“Gaaaah!!”

Feng Jinghao writhed in agony as if his limbs were being torn apart.

His mana circuits were already severely damaged from the lightning that had penetrated his body, and as the demonic energy was rapidly drained, the wounds he had barely managed to seal burst open again one after another.

The problem was that cracks formed, and even the anti-demonic properties of the lightning manifested.

The cracks were reaching beyond the mana circuits to the core located in his dantian.

Crack!

No matter how he tried to shake off the Ruyi Jingu Bang, it wouldn’t budge. Instead, the absorption only accelerated.

And then,

Whoosh-

Lee Hyeon quickly approached, seizing that moment.

Feng Jinghao’s complexion turned whiter than the blue-white lightning.

“Wait…!”

He screamed something, but,

Rumble!!

It was completely drowned out by the thunder that immediately followed, so it couldn’t be heard.

Lee Hyeon butchered the creature’s body.

Slash! Slash! Slaaash!!

Rumble!!

[Dueoksini’s Specter goes wild with fury!]

…

[Successfully discovered a new skill!]

[Dueoksini’s Thunder Breath (SSS) and the Epic of the Heavenly Dokkaebi have combined into one.]

[Congratulations! Heavenly Dokkaebi’s Thunder Breath (EX) has been born.]

[Heavenly Dokkaebi’s Thunder Breath (EX)]

A unique skill where the legend of the Heavenly Dokkaebi mixed with Dueokshin’s fury and settled.

It reproduces the ‘lightning struck by heaven ‘ that becomes more violent the angrier one gets through the user’s breathing. Especially when that emotion approaches righteous indignation, the power is further enhanced and takes on anti-demonic properties.

No monster or demon will be able to stand tall before this truly mysterious power.

-Type: Unique Skill, Enhancement, Wave.

-Attributes: Lightning, Strange, Yin-Yang.

-Proficiency: 0%

-Origin: The saying ‘A good day for dokkaebi to play’

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!!

Every time Lee Hyeon breathed, his heart beat violently. Blood raced through his blood vessels like racehorses.

Minute electrical currents flowed through his mana circuits and nervous system, multiplying muscle fiber activation several times over and entering a new state of awakening.

Electric light erupted from his mouth and nose, and minute crackling sounds came from his fingertips and toes…

Most of all, as the electric light and smoke mixed, a faint dokkaebi pattern could be seen overlapping behind Lee Hyeon.

Such an appearance,

Appeared as terror to Feng Jinghao, who was a Maein.

His opponent was the Heavenly Dokkaebi.

The king of mysteries said to stand at the pinnacle of all monsters and demons.

“…!!!”

Slash! Slaaash! Slaaaash!!

Flash! Flash!

Rumble…!!

Dueokshin’s molar, true to its name as a ‘molar,’ mercilessly chewed and devoured the bound Feng Jinghao.

His remaining arms were crushed beyond recognition, and his legs were randomly torn off with blood constantly dripping.

His torso was covered with deep scorch marks and indiscriminate axe wounds, filled with scars.

The four incisors pierced his nape and sides in various places, the canines reached deep into his waist, and the molars cruelly cut through his right shoulder reaching to his sternum.

Feng Jinghao tried desperately to block the offensive, but couldn’t completely shake off the Ruyi Jingu Bang that firmly bound his limbs.

Eventually, as lightning and electric strikes shook the creature from inside and out, his body had become completely charcoal black.

Slaaaash!!

Nevertheless, the creature was still breathing.

Tenacious vitality no different from a zombie.

[The myth, ‘King of Western Birds’ gazes at you with hollow eyes!]

Lee Hyeon realized that the reason lay in the gaze of the legend that had been watching Feng Jinghao since a while ago.

Though wearing the skin of Xuanhu Jinchuan, it was actually the gaze of a different existence, not Xuanhu Jinchuan.

[The myth, ‘King of Western Birds’ gazes at you with hollow eyes!]

“Tripitaka…! Tripitaka…!!”

Feng Jinghao squeezed out his last remaining strength, wanting to survive.

Every time he exhaled shallow breaths, black smoke rose in wisps.

Lee Hyeon’s offensive stopped for the first time.

“Tripitaka… Xuanzang Tripitaka is with me…! Not here… but in another place…”

“….”

“Heh… hehehe… You want to save him… don’t you…? If so… spare me…!”

“I suppose that’s the end of your last words?”

Lee Hyeon’s cold sneer cut off Feng Jinghao mid-sentence.

Feng Jinghao’s triumphant expression hardened once again.

“You don’t need to say it. I already know.”

“…W-wait,”

“I was hoping you’d at least be dignified at the end. But I guess you were only capable of this much after all.”

“…!!”

“Seo Chang-woo was better than you, at least.”

Before Feng Jinghao could say anything,

Swoooosh!!

Lee Hyeon pulled out a molar and blew Feng Jinghao’s head clean off.

His face remained frozen in an expression of pain and terror.

[The myth, ‘Western Birds King’ gazes at you with hollow eyes!]
