Chapter 196
196: I Can See Everything From Here? (2)
* * *
The aura emanating from the Yongje of Ruin was a transcendent roar, so only Hanalin and Jiyuchan in its immediate vicinity felt that terrifying killing intent, while others did not. Even among those who had noticed the opening of the 『Transcendence Repository』, only Belmutt had sensed the killing intent released by the Yongje of Ruin.
As proof, Safe Zone Baul, located in the immediate vicinity and home to some Superior Races, felt no such aftereffects whatsoever.
Safe Zone Baul.
A Safe Zone quite close to the Central Area where Superior Races gathered in considerable numbers—in other words, the villains in this vicinity were also of considerable caliber. It was a place where many had become villains not out of greed for points or items, but purely because they desired to battle the strong.
Yet that had become somewhat ancient history now.
“Was Baul always this quiet?”
“Hmm, you’re behind on the news.”
“Did something happen?”
“Ever since the Yongin Clan settled here, the riffraff has thinned out considerably.”
“Ah, the Yongin Clan—yes, that would explain it.”
The Yongin Clan had newly established themselves in this place, and as a result, the villains had grown considerably quieter. It was inevitable, for the Yongin Clan—righteous Celestials that they were—had a nature of swiftly eliminating anything that displeased them. The villains had no choice but to avoid drawing attention.
Consequently, most of those who had claimed to become villains out of a desire to battle the strong were filtered out.
Since not all those in Baul were skilled Hunters, the atmosphere regarding the Yongin Clan’s presence was one of welcome relief.
In fact.
“But why did the Yongin Clan come to Baul? Isn’t there Safe Zone Eight, governed by the Sea Dragon Yongin Clan? What reason would they have to come here?”
“I only heard it secondhand, but apparently those Yongin Clan members are recruiting an Attack Team to capture that Davy Jones.”
“D-Davy Jones!?”
At the Horse Humanoid’s words, the Alpaca Humanoid startled violently, spitting and widening his eyes. The name Davy Jones carried sufficient weight to warrant such a reaction.
Seeing the Alpaca Humanoid’s shock, the Horse Humanoid nodded gravely.
Then he continued.
“Don’t be surprised—whether they’re truly intent on capturing Davy Jones or not, they’re offering 10 million points just for revealing his location.”
“Whew! 10 million points is enough to live comfortably for a lifetime—isn’t that a sum difficult to amass even in B-Rank Zones? But wait, would capturing Davy Jones even yield that much profit?”
“You fool of an Alpaca, they’re not capturing Davy Jones for profit! They’re doing it for honor and symbolic significance.”
“Whew! That’s truly remarkable—Superior Races are truly incomprehensible.”
As the Alpaca Humanoid shook his head in admiration, the Horse Humanoid wore a similar expression. Though they too possessed superior physiques and were considered mid-tier races superior to lower races, the gap between Superior Races and themselves seemed far greater than the gap between lower and mid-tier races, leaving them dispirited.
They knew it wasn’t a good thing, but comparisons arose naturally regardless—there was nothing to be done about it. In any case, the two of them shook off their reverie and spoke.
“Ahem, we should work harder too. How about we each bring our Party Members and go hunting?”
As the Alpaca Humanoid made the suggestion, the Horse Humanoid clicked his tongue regretfully. Seeing this, the Alpaca Humanoid looked at him questioningly, and the Horse Humanoid spoke with difficulty.
“Sigh, those villain bastards I mentioned earlier who are wary of the Yongin Clan are all camped out at the Hunting Ground, making it difficult. I hear they’re even attacking Ships entering the Safe Zone.”
“Those despicable wretches.”
“It seems there are many corrupted souls coming through the Black Gate lately.”
“Indeed. Well then, unfortunately, until next time.”
“Right.”
As the Alpaca Humanoid and Horse Humanoid exchanged farewells and rose from their seats, a medium-sized Ship could be seen approaching Baul at high speed from the direction of the Hunting Ground they had just mentioned.
The Alpaca Humanoid, having heard the Horse Humanoid’s words, shook his head at the sight of the Ship and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk, another poor Ship about to be stripped bare.”
* * *
The distance from where the White Gate had been to Safe Zone Baul was merely three hours of travel. Of course, that was three hours at the ship’s speed, so the actual distance felt quite substantial, but since Dohyun already possessed a ship, it posed no problem whatsoever.
Since the ship navigated automatically, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan had come up onto the deck to observe the surroundings, though both were subtly watching Dohyun’s expression.
“Hm~ Hmm~ Hm~”
Dohyun appeared remarkably excited. There was nothing particularly worth reading into, yet the reason both of them were gauging his mood was simple.
“Should we go to the sea to find villains~”
“Should we go to the mountain to find villains~”
“Ah, I want to kill them so badly~”
How could they not read the situation when he was singing nursery rhymes with such a sinister twist? Of course, much was omitted, making it sound strange.
The trait 『Fusion』 that I had obtained was tested, but 『Usurp』 had not been used yet. I wanted to try using it once, so I was saying this—though on second thought, it wasn’t really a misunderstanding. In any case, Hanalin and Jiyuchan were swallowing hard at these selectively psychopathic remarks, hoping to arrive at Baul without incident.
Then.
As we were nearly arriving at Safe Zone Baul, I saw something flying up from below.
It was none other than a fireball, and seeing it, Dohyun let out a laugh.
“Ha! Villains!”
It was unclear who the actual villains were, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan had no choice but to prepare themselves.
Dohyun moved first, deactivating the ship and shrinking it down before placing it into his spatial pouch. While I wanted to verify the trait 『Usurp』, I was equally eager to test the new skills, so Dohyun drew his spear first.
As I deployed the first form of Cheongmyeong Jichang, which had descended like a meteor before, I attempted to use another skill simultaneously.
The skill I most wanted to test first was none other than Manyugyejongjong.
Using the skill Manyugyejongjong, where all weapon techniques and martial arts skills except martial arts proper merged into one, I held the spear, yet it felt as though I wielded a sword, or perhaps a single fist.
But gripping the spear firmly, Dohyun created a foothold in midair with sheer force.
Uuuuuuung———!!!
I condensed and solidified a massive current of mana in an instant. It was a thick platform in a realm impossible through ordinary mana control, but Cheonggijichae made it possible.
Using midair as a foothold, Dohyun bent both legs while directing his body toward the ground rather than the sky.
Then.
Pbudduddudduk———!!!
Both of my legs swelled to their limit in an instant, and I heard the sound of my pants threatening to tear, and in that moment.
Pwoooooooong———!!!
As the mana current surged upward like a geyser, reaching toward the end of the sky, Dohyun fell toward the ground at an incomprehensible speed in the opposite direction.
My body and spear glowed red from friction, but I protected my entire body and spear with Cheonggijichae while simultaneously unleashing the first form of Cheongmyeong Jichang.
A different final form of Cheongmyeong Jichang unfolded in my hands.
Cheongmyeong Jichang, Eighth Form: Cheongmyeong Meteor
A brilliant meteor, burning with azure light and trailing a long blue tail, plummeted to the ground, and the villains could only blink at the sight. As they stood dazed, unable to discern whether what they were witnessing was real, the blue meteor descended, and the moment the spear pierced the ground.
Kwagagagagaga————!!!
Pwooooooooooo————!!!
Kugugugugugugu————!!!
From the point where Dohyun’s spear struck the ground, azure light exploded outward, spreading in all directions, sweeping across the earth and everything upon it.
“Run away!!!”
“Escape!!!”
“Scatter!!!”
“P-please save us!!!”
The light released by the blue meteor swept through all the villains, transforming the surrounding terrain. What had originally been cliffs swaying gently with ideal hiding spots was now different.
The cliffs were swept away entirely, vanishing without a trace. Everywhere the light touched became flat ground, transforming the surroundings into a barren wasteland. And at its center, a massive crater roughly 500 meters across had been gouged out, bearing the unmistakable marks of a meteor strike.
The villains who witnessed this spectacle with their own eyes were.
“I, insane.”
“Did we just provoke a Superior Race!?”
Their bodies trembled as they blinked, wondering if they had indeed angered a Superior Race, when one of the villains pointed toward the crater and screamed.
“No, look at that!!!”
As he cried out, the villains’ gazes shifted toward that point.
Then, between the black clouds, a pair of cyan-white eyes emerged. They pierced through the darkness and broke free from it. Two arms, two legs. And an appearance where not a single hair was visible except for the hair on its head.
Someone who saw this spoke.
“Human!? Did you just say that was human!?”
“An inferior race just unleashed that kind of power…?”
“That, that can’t be right.”
“It wasn’t a Superior Race?”
“I, I can’t believe it.”
The villains who had been attacking those who appeared weak here to escape the Yongin Clan were now merely fragile creatures before Dohyun.
However, among them, there was one who still failed to read the atmosphere.
“What? Getting beaten by a mere human? That was probably just their ultimate technique, there’s nothing to worry about now! Kuhaha! I’ll go first!”
A goblin-like non-human race that laughed and charged forward. It resembled a Hobgoblin, a mid-tier race, but the moment it rushed at Dohyun, his body swayed slightly.
Then.
Screeeech———!
The sound of a neck being severed echoed across the surroundings as the goblin-like creature that had charged was bisected diagonally at the torso and rolled across the ground.
Thud.
Blood and organs rolled across the ground without ceremony, and the eyes of the villains trembled as they witnessed this.
It was a sight they had created countless times while slaughtering their opponents, yet they never imagined such a scene would befall them. Several of them soiled themselves.
Looking at them, Dohyun’s eyes blazed with cyan-white radiance as he asked.
“Who’s next?”
At that eerie sight, even laughter in his voice, the villains desperately tried to flee when a dragon’s form materialized behind Dohyun, opening its maw toward those attempting to escape.
Kraaaaaaaaaa———!!!
The dragon’s roar froze the legs of the fleeing villains.
And.
“Where do you think you’re going.”
Dohyun’s piercing gaze blazed with cyan-white light.
