Chapter 237
237: Is This Really a Sparring Match?(1)
SHWEEEEEE——
The platinum-white blade descended from above in a vertical arc, a flash of brilliance falling from the heavens—no, it was like lightning itself striking down.
Unable to employ the Platinum Blade’s advanced techniques yet, Jiyuchan had chosen to combine Platinum Resonance with the Golden Blade’s techniques, and now, seizing this opening in the Plague Lord’s defense, he unleashed his most devastating technique.
Golden Blade
Tenth Technique
Superior Martial Strike
Platinum Lightning
As the pure white lightning descended in the form of Jiyuchan’s blade, the Plague Lord swiftly twisted his body to evade it.
Though the Plague Lord inhabited Dohyun’s masculine form, his movements possessed a distinctly feminine fluidity, allowing him to gracefully sidestep the blade even in midair.
CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE———!!!
The moment the Platinum Lightning tore through the air and plummeted toward the ground, the Plague Lord’s chains surged into motion.
CLINK CLINK CLINK——
As the chains sang out, Jiyuchan desperately attempted to retrieve his descending blade and escape, but he couldn’t halt the technique mid-strike—it fell like lightning itself. Just before the chains ensnared him, Jiyuchan activated his helmet’s ability.
Scalding white steam erupted from the helmet’s mouth, and the Plague Lord sprayed corrosive venom toward it in defense while simultaneously yanking the chains taut.
The chains captured Jiyuchan’s body in midair, and the powerful steam burst from his helmet drove the Plague Lord backward. As Jiyuchan was pulled along with him, the Plague Lord swung the chains with tremendous force.
WHOOOOOOSH——!!!
Bound by the chains, Jiyuchan was hurled skyward by the Plague Lord’s momentum, then plummeted downward in a violent arc before being driven into the ground.
BOOM BOOM BOOM———!!!
But the instant he struck the ground, Jiyuchan summoned a water barrier through his ring’s effect to cushion the impact, and while still bound by the chains, he seized a section of them with an iron grip.
The moment the Plague Lord saw Jiyuchan grasp the chains, he attempted to retract them, but the chains refused to slip from Jiyuchan’s grasp—they remained taut and immovable.
CLANG CLANG CLANG——!!!
The chains stretched taut, and no matter how much force the Plague Lord exerted, Jiyuchan’s hand didn’t budge an inch. With his qi anchoring both feet firmly to the ground, combined with the absolute grip effect of Dankong’s leather gloves—another of his treasured items—he held the chains fast without being dragged.
In that instant, the Plague Lord’s movements froze, and the moment he stopped, he detected something falling from above.
BOOM BOOM BOOM———!!!
A massive quantity of liquid-like substance plummeted down, and the instant it fell, it froze solid.
CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE———!
It froze instantaneously, and in that frozen space, Jiyuchan—who had been holding the chains mere moments before—condensed his still-burning Platinum Blade energy to its absolute limit.
The moment the Platinum Blade energy, compressed to its breaking point in the space where the Plague Lord now lay frozen, transformed into qi and blazed with radiant brilliance!
HUMMMMMM——!!!
All those watching the sparring match gasped in unison at the sight of Jiyuchan’s blade.
“An Aura Blade!?”
“An Aura Blade from merely C-rank!?”
“This can’t be real!!!”
And it couldn’t be otherwise.
Qi—the elevated realm of martial arts—was nothing less than the first stage of a Swordmaster, what they called an Aura Blade.
To witness it at merely C-rank left them utterly astounded.
As all the Celestials except Ines and Vera cried out in shock, Hezweyna, Ines, Vera, and Jerome—all four of them—felt their pupils dilate involuntarily.
An Aura Blade at C-rank.
Of course, Hezweyna, Ines, and Jerome could all use Aura Blades if they wished, but applying them in combat the way Jiyuchan did remained far beyond their current reach. What astounded Jiyuchan was that he had conjured such a delicate Aura Blade from the tiniest opening during the heat of battle itself.
Even as they marveled, Jiyuchan launched forward, his sword wreathed in surging force, and slashed it toward the ice pillar imprisoning the Plague Lord.
In an instant, a pristine platinum line materialized in the void, and along that line, the ice pillar containing the Plague Lord was cleaved in two with a single stroke.
Ssssshing——
With the sharp sound of something trembling, an ice pillar several meters in diameter was bisected in one blow. The sharpness alone should have commanded awe, but that was not the problem.
Jiyuchan’s pupils quivered as he observed that the ice pillar where the Plague Lord should have been trapped bore no trace of him whatsoever. In that instant, an opening emerged.
‘What?!’
Realizing the Plague Lord was not in the ice pillar where he should have been, Jiyuchan rapidly cast his detection across the surroundings and immediately spun around.
What had been empty midair mere moments before now rippled, a transparent barrier dissipated, and a violet miasma erupted forth.
Tsssssss.
Seeing the spraying toxin, Jiyuchan quickly covered his nose and was about to retreat when—
The sound of chains rang out.
Clankclankclank——
The moment Jiyuchan heard the chains echoing through the void, he raised his sword to block them.
The chain coiled around his blade, and the censer-like weight at its end—resembling a morning star—swung toward his face.
Thwackcraaash———!!!
As the censer-weight struck Jiyuchan’s head, the toxin dwelling within it erupted outward. When the sprayed miasma met the toxin released from the impact—
Plasma flashed around Jiyuchan in an instant, the toxins intermingled, and an explosion detonated.
Boooooom——!!!
Caught in the explosion with the miasma, Jiyuchan’s body was hurled backward and crashed into the wall, while the Plague Lord, leaving him behind, charged toward Hanalin.
But then—
“I’ve completed it.”
As Hanalin spoke, radiant white light blazed to life in both her palms. Witnessing that brilliance—so luminous, like the morning star itself—the Plague Lord felt his entire body’s hair stand on end. He halted abruptly and attempted to retreat.
However—
Celestial Star Orbit Formula
First Technique
Stellar Ignition
As the heat from the birth of a star erupted forth, the Plague Lord attempted to quickly retrieve his chain-censer, but time was insufficient.
Sensing that even defending with miasma would be inadequate, the Plague Lord drew upon one of Dohyun’s powers—the Ten Thousand Returning to One—to push his strength to its absolute limit, drew forth his single-horned spear, and unleashed the third technique of Cheongmyeong Jichang, intertwined with his miasma.
Plague Lord’s Version
Cheongmyeong Jichang
Third Technique
Verdant Shield
A cyan aura, as though mingled with toxic liquid, twisted and tangled impossibly, instantly forming a transparent barrier, and above it, the stellar heat poured down.
Craaaaaash——
The stellar heat erupted, driving the Plague Lord backward, and as a result, a portion of the Sparring Hall melted away, the rising steam obscuring the vision of all around.
Though visibility extended only a hand’s breadth ahead, those who had been observing until now could still see.
Within the steam, the Plague Lord maintained the protective barrier he had created with his spear, retrieved his chain-censer, and lifted it upward.
However, through the effect of the Reaper’s Eyes, the sound of that chain-censer vanished entirely and could not be heard.
Because of this, Hanalin and Jiyuchan—who had awakened from the wall and was re-condensing his blade force—failed to detect the censer.
Even with his defense raised, the Plague Lord couldn’t escape being driven into the wall by the terrifying heat, and the moment he crashed against it, Jiyuchan sprang into action.
‘I can still move.’
The counterattack had dealt considerable damage to Jiyuchan’s body, but he paid it no mind and charged forward, while Hanalin, watching him, prepared a new spell to deliver the finishing blow.
If Jiyuchan pressed the attack, Hanalin would be ready to end this.
‘Now I can use it.’
As she prepared the spell—one whose mastery she’d earned through yesterday’s grueling study—Hanalin caught sight of something falling from above.
A chain censer, billowing thick violet-hued toxic mist.
As it plummeted, it dragged the poisonous fog with it, descending like a meteor toward the ground.
In that instant, Hanalin sent a telepathic message to Jiyuchan.
-Above!
At her warning, Jiyuchan’s eyes—those of the Reaper—caught sight of the chain censer falling silently without leaving a trace, and he gnashed his teeth.
I missed it.
If things continued this way, I’d have no choice but to take the brunt of that chain censer. I’d come quite far to attack the Plague Lord, and there was no way to evade it from here.
So Jiyuchan made a swift decision.
-Cast your spell!
Hanalin would normally have complained, but given the circumstances, she chose to obey Jiyuchan’s command and continued deploying her magic.
And the moment the Plague Lord burst from the wall, the chain censer descended, its body swollen with violet-hued toxic mist.
Plague Lord Style
Cheongmyeong Jichang
Eighth Form
Cheongmyeong Meteor
The Cheongmyeong Jichang unfolded through the chain censer, creating a single meteor descending from above, while Jiyuchan used his platinum sword technique to construct the most impenetrable fortress imaginable.
Golden Sword
Supreme Martial Attack
Eighth Form
White Mirror Fortress
A pristine mirror-like form materialized to defend Jiyuchan, but the White Mirror Fortress he’d created enclosed both himself and the chain censer within a single space, preventing the censer’s attack from spreading.
Ensuring Hanalin wouldn’t be touched by the chain censer’s assault.
The Plague Lord, caught off guard by this unexpected application, quickly turned his gaze toward Hanalin, but it was already too late.
The stellar bodies orbiting Hanalin formed a thick nebula and surged toward the Plague Lord, and though he desperately swung his spear to block, the stellar bodies cradling the nebula erupted with radiance.
Celestial Star Orbit Style
Third Incantation
Star Mist Full Bloom
It resembled the technique the Plague Lord had displayed—spreading and detonating toxic mist—yet its power and appearance were in an entirely different league.
The shimmering nebula met the stellar heat and released a singular brilliance, and as that light enveloped the heat and detonation, all color drained from the world, leaving only pure white radiance spreading across existence, casting long shadows as the explosion erupted.
