Chapter 270
270: Am I Actually Strong? (2)
I forgot to account for madness—what kind of insane statement was that?
Mubokkin, already disoriented by the intense toxin coursing through his body, felt his mind spinning further at Dohyun’s words.
And what? He unleashed such formidable qi in a single burst and followed up with a counterattack, yet spoke as if he might be “somewhat strong”? In that moment, Mubokkin could only feel utterly scratched by the absurdity.
Using a terrifying toxic qi that melted his own qi in an instant and even dissolved his blade, yet speaking with such casual indifference—how could his mind not become muddled?
Mubokkin rapidly expelled the toxic qi burrowing into his body using his own qi at maximum speed.
Simultaneously.
“So you’re confident in your recovery, I see?”
“…You noticed?”
Mubokkin replied thus, purifying the blood he had shed before reabsorbing it back into his body.
Dohyun had already identified it through Analysis, but the Mubokkin standing before him now was a Bloodkin—the same race as Targa, the branch leader of the Jecheon Mumaeng Atlas Branch—a race known to manipulate blood freely with regenerative capabilities that even the Superior Races could not match.
A race that controlled blood and heightened regeneration through it, earning a reputation for exceptional survivability.
Yet while Mubokkin regenerated so rapidly, the Bamboo Hat Warrior and Secret Agent whom Dohyun had driven into the ground upon first arriving here, grinding their heads against the earth, did not.
Watching them rise unsteadily, still bearing their wounds, Dohyun found himself genuinely fascinated.
“Those two aren’t Bloodkin, are they?”
Dohyun asked out of courtesy, though he already knew their races well.
The Bamboo Hat Warrior’s bamboo hat, ground away along with his head, slowly regenerated, though upon closer inspection it resembled a traditional hat more than bamboo.
And he could discern that it was not merely a hat worn, but an actual part of his body.
A fungal being, so to speak—in any case, a Myconid, a mushroom-human race.
Similarly, the Secret Agent was a Leopardkin, a race familiar to Dohyun.
He wondered how three completely different races could band together.
Since they had not formed a Dimensional Peace Agreement like Earth—or rather, South Korea—and Draxion, Dohyun asked with evident curiosity.
Then.
“…Are humans… simply humans?”
Mubokkin muttered thus, having just moments ago wondered if this being was so powerful precisely because he was not human but another race entirely.
In that instant, having just ascended to B-Rank, he realized he could not possibly be unaware of such characteristics.
Then, in Dohyun’s eyes, a spiral galaxy rotated the world itself, and suddenly a force that absorbed all things was felt to manifest.
Mubokkin tensed completely, wondering what catastrophe was unfolding.
Then Dohyun, observing such tension, muttered.
“Divine Assassin Squad?”
The moment Dohyun muttered what he had discerned through Analysis, regardless of being discovered, Mubokkin, the Bamboo Hat Warrior, and the Secret Agent immediately lunged toward Dohyun as if propelled forward.
It was then.
“Stop!!!”
Mubokkin’s urgent cry was.
But faster than sound, two of the three who sensed the abnormality—Mubokkin and the Bamboo Hat Warrior—leaped away from that spot, absorbing the momentum of their charge with their bodies as they retreated, while only the Secret Agent failed to do so and charged toward Dohyun.
Then.
Shwooooooooosh————!!
The Secret Agent’s body was bisected, his form splitting cleanly in two as it shot forward before Dohyun, then crashed into the wall behind him.
The Bamboo Hat Warrior could not comprehend what had occurred, having evaded through the spores he dispersed, which caused him to avoid the sudden shift in air currents—yet he never expected the Secret Agent to suffer such a fate without even understanding what had struck him, let alone mount a counterattack.
And in that moment, only Mubokkin realized what Dohyun had done.
“I-impossible.”
Mubokkin muttered those words while staring at Dohyun, and Dohyun gazed back at them with an icy glare, a cold smile playing at his lips.
“Go ahead and beg for your lives.”
With those words, Dohyun twirled the pair of short swords that had materialized in his hands moments before, pointing them at both enemies, and in that instant, he vanished from sight as if dissolving into the air.
The footwork technique Dohyun employed with his first step was the Great Path Without Flaw.
This technique, which embodied the principle that the Great Path contains no imperfections, possessed the unique characteristic of being compatible with other footwork techniques.
Thus, the Great Path.
The Great Path harbors no flaws whatsoever.
And so it becomes a vast passage capable of embracing all things, augmenting Dohyun’s footwork.
Before Dohyun’s first step even fully touched the ground, his footwork manifested along that Great Path.
The moonlight hid behind clouds, leaving not even a shadow.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
First Form
Submerged Moon, Hidden Shadow
Watching Dohyun’s form dissolve completely into the void, Bamboo Hat Warrior recalled something—a tale he’d heard from humans about a human who wielded short swords with exceptional skill, one he’d encountered while slaying the Alpaca Humanoid.
And that was his final thought.
When the moonlight hidden behind the clouds finally revealed itself, a poisoned surge of energy pierced through all of Bamboo Hat Warrior’s spores, striking precisely at his heart.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
Second Form
New Moon Breaks the Void
The short sword erupting from the blind spot embedded itself perfectly in his heart, and though he desperately attempted to resist the poison, it obliterated every spore within him, dissolving Bamboo Hat Warrior’s body into a handful of toxic sludge.
Immediately after slaying Bamboo Hat Warrior, Dohyun’s footwork continued unbroken, and with another step, his form vanished completely once more.
Left alone, Mubokkin swiftly kicked off the ground and attempted to flee with every ounce of speed he could muster.
This man was far beyond anything he could possibly contend with.
Reinforcing both legs with energy until his quadriceps bulged as if ready to burst, Mubokkin kicked off the ground and entered a hypersonic realm where sound itself lagged behind, his thoughts slowing in kind—yet he continued to accelerate, blood spraying from both feet as he pushed harder to escape.
But.
A sharp whistle cut through the air.
Despite channeling every ounce of his strength to increase his velocity, Mubokkin found Dohyun already ahead of him, standing before him with a smile, and his mind struggled to process what was happening.
In that hypersonic world where even thought moved sluggishly, Dohyun swung his arms with speed that transcended all measure, his arm muscles rupturing one by one as blood vessels burst through his skin, spraying crimson.
Yet Dohyun’s arms never ceased their motion within that hypersonic realm, and his violet-hued energy combined with his bleeding limbs unleashed a tilted X-shaped pattern of force toward Mubokkin.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
Third Form
Twin Moons Interlocking Fangs
Though the world moved slowly even for thought itself, the brilliantly shining violet energy flashed with incomparable speed, tearing toward Mubokkin, and his upper body was completely severed, his limbs scattering like a dissected insect.
A wet thud echoed.
Blood cascaded down in torrents, flooding the surroundings like a lake of crimson, yet Dohyun stood atop that sea of blood, calmly gazing down at Mubokkin—now reduced to a torso with severed limbs, writhing like a helpless insect.
Freed from the hypersonic realm, Mubokkin clearly felt what had transpired and desperately attempted to regenerate.
But.
“W-what…?”
No matter how hard he tried to regenerate, the blood wouldn’t coagulate, producing a pathetic sound.
Watching Mubokkin in that state, Dohyun muttered to himself.
“Just as I thought. I’m not limited to just deadly poison—I can use any toxin I want. So I tried using a poison that prevents blood coagulation, and it works perfectly.”
As Dohyun spoke and remarked that it was working well, Mubokkin cried out urgently.
“P-please! I’ll give you information! The client who hired our Divine Assassin Squad was….”
“The Elves, right?”
“!?!?!?”
Under normal circumstances, Mubokkin might have shown no reaction at all, suspecting it was merely a probe. But now, there was no time for such caution.
His expression became one of pure shock.
It was at that moment when Mubokkin couldn’t tell if Dohyun truly knew or was merely testing him.
“Your Divine Assassin Squad heard rumors about me—a human skilled with short blades—while searching for clues about Sashin, and came looking for me.”
“H-how… did you… know that far…?”
Even as he was dying, Mubokkin’s eyes—wide with astonishment—gradually began to lose their light as he stared at Dohyun.
A Bloodkin who couldn’t control his blood couldn’t survive long in such a state, with only his upper body remaining.
Once Mubokkin finally died, Dohyun reached out his hand and activated Usurp.
Of course, the items they possessed had long since been absorbed into Dohyun’s inventory through Usurp.
And what Dohyun absorbed through Usurp was. None other than.
[You absorb the essence of three individuals through Usurp.]
[In the process of absorbing essence, Strength and Stamina permanently increase by +2 each.]
From stats already exceeding 100, I gained 2 additional points in each, bringing all my stats except Mana and Internal Energy to 102.
Since I could selectively use Usurp on only the stats I wanted, now that I could balance my abilities evenly, my expression brightened considerably.
‘Maybe I really am getting strong?’
As I thought this, I recalled Mubokkin’s stats from earlier.
His highest stat exceeded 120, similar to my Mana. Considering that reaching 150 in stats meant advancing to A-Rank, he was certainly a skilled fighter in the mid-tier of B-Rank.
Yet I, having only just reached 102, shouldn’t have been able to overwhelm such an opponent so completely.
And yet I had dominated him, playing with him as though he were nothing.
Of course, my arms were tattered in the process—a recoil from executing movements beyond my body’s limits. But with the insane regeneration of Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, my arms quickly snapped back into place.
Even when every bone, not just muscle, was shattered to the point of becoming powder, I could reshape my mana into healing properties, infuse it into my arms, and rely on regeneration to heal quickly.
‘Qi Manifestation is absolutely broken.’
With that thought, I reviewed the recent battle.
Qi Manifestation is created by infusing the laws within one’s mental realm into one’s qi, then condensing that qi.
Normally, since my mental realm hadn’t been fully established yet, I shouldn’t have been able to use Qi Manifestation. But through Internal Energy, I could now infuse even just a portion of the laws dwelling in my mental realm into my qi to create Qi Manifestation.
This played a crucial role in this battle.
Having thought that far, I decided I needed to report this attack and headed back toward the Lodging Building.
As I did, since my legs had also been shattered once, I muttered with some regret.
‘I shouldn’t have used Spatial Teleportation.’
Thinking I’d flown quite far, I used flight magic rather than footwork to head toward Atlas.
Anyway.
‘It’s a bit unexpected that the Divine Assassin Squad is looking for me.’
I wondered why an assassination organization created by Majincheon, the former Davy Jones member, and expanded greatly by Sashin, would be searching for me. But that wasn’t really my concern.
And somehow.
‘Are the Black Mist, who serve the Plague Lord, similar to these people?’
Thinking I’d gotten myself tangled up in something decidedly troublesome, I made my way back to Atlas.
