Chapter 275
275: Why Are You Preparing All This?(3)
* * *
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
The violent impacts echoing from outside should have warranted a reaction, yet no one within the Chamber had the leisure to spare a glance.
Both the Overseer Party and the Elves facing them bared their teeth at one another as the battle raged on fiercely.
More than half of the fifteen Elves were engaged against Dohyun’s two clones, while the remaining half faced the Overseer Party members—and despite their numerical advantage, they were being pushed back considerably.
Especially.
“Damn it!!! What in the world are those monsters?!”
Kaelin spat out her indignation while providing cover support to the Elves facing Dohyun’s two clones—the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and the Plague Lord—yet she was being overwhelmed unmistakably.
Particularly after Dohyun had awakened his force, those two had grown even stronger, and she could do nothing against them.
The Plague Lord wielded poison force, and the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, born from Dohyun’s body after he awakened force and created a mana heart, had taken on the form of a Dragon-human half-covered in scales—a sight that even seven or more Elves could not contain.
For now, Kaelin’s support kept the stalemate taut like a drawn rope, but no one could predict how long this deadlock would persist.
However.
“How dare you! How dare you!!! Stealing our treasure!!! Pay with your lives!!!”
As Kaelin cried out, the aura of spirits surged forth, and spirits began to flood around her.
Hezway’s expression darkened at the sight.
Though the Elves were the weakest among the Six Superior Races, they had an annoying trait beyond mere numbers—and this was it.
As spirits flooded forth and the aura of spirits saturated Kaelin’s surroundings, the other Elves too became suffused with spiritual energy, their eyes gleaming with renewed intensity.
“A rampage,” Hezway called out.
At his words, Hanalin’s eyes moved swiftly as she analyzed the spirits.
She lacked an authority like Dohyun’s Analysis, but for the Magical Empress Hanalin, spirits were also a form of magic—which meant they could be stopped.
As Hanalin’s eyes gleamed with light, Jiyuchan and Hezway questioned her.
“Can you manage it?”
“How long will it take?”
“Ten seconds.”
To Jiyuchan and Hezway’s questions, Hanalin answered immediately.
Her response was terse without elaboration, yet upon hearing it, both Jiyuchan and Hezway nodded.
If she could do it and only needed a minute to manage, there was nothing they couldn’t accomplish.
With that, Jiyuchan charged into the battlefield where spirits surged forth.
And for Jiyuchan’s sake, Hezway created a spear of light, and since he still could not awaken force, he hurled the spear as is.
Even without force, the powerful light spear flew in Jiyuchan’s direction, carving a path through, and within that opened space, Jiyuchan’s platinum eyes gleamed brilliantly as he manifested Platinum Sword Force.
Thus, a new technique descended from the Golden Sword.
Platinum Sword
Second Technique
Piercing Evil White Flash
A platinum thrust that pierces through all that is wicked unfurled.
Crash, crash, crash, crash——!!!
The thrust of the white blade carved a massive hole, piercing through the flooding spirits, and the platinum sword force pierced through all the wicked things—the pure spirits manipulated by the Elves—in their entirety.
And as a result, all the spirits Jiyuchan had pierced vanished as though their contracts had been nullified.
However.
The massive chasm I had just torn open sealed itself in an instant, and I couldn’t help but furrow my brow at the sight, my expression darkening with irritation.
Then, as Hezway’s covering fire followed, a barrage of light spears rained down from behind, and I too, wreathed in platinum sword energy, wielded the opening techniques of the golden sword while cleaving through the spirits.
Just as I was about to be buried beneath the endless torrent of spirits, Hanalin’s cry pierced through.
“Duck!”
At her words, I quickly lowered my body, and in that same instant, a prismatic radiance shot forth above my crouched form, spreading outward in all directions.
Whoooooosh——!!!
A torrent of mana brimming with natural essence, warm as sunlight itself, spread like luminescence, and the moment the flooding spirits touched that warm, nature-filled aura, their contracts were severed all at once—just like the Thousand-Spirit Severance I had created before—temporarily banishing the spirits back to the Spirit Realm.
Hanalin’s magic unfolded, a dispel applied to temporarily cancel the summoning of spirits themselves, and in that brief moment, the spirit flood subsided and the spirits were unsummoned.
Then.
“Gaaahhhhh——!!!”
Splurt.
Kaelin vomited forth such a staggering amount of blood it could have formed a pool. Yet she was far from the only one.
Elves manipulating spirits from all directions spewed blood and writhed across the ground—eight of them in total.
Kaelin alone was straining with all her might not to collapse, her complexion turning ashen, while the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, who desired only destruction, and the Plague Lord, who commanded all pestilence, continued their relentless hunt of the close-combat Elves without pause.
As the taut thread snapped and she tumbled to the ground, Kaelin muttered through her pallid visage.
“This… this can’t be happ——”
She wanted to say they couldn’t lose like this, having already lost the relic fragment of Usurpation, a treasure to the Elves, and suffering such a crushing defeat, but she couldn’t finish her words before collapsing to the ground.
And it didn’t take long for the other Elves to fall as well.
Though Dohyun had withdrawn, since the battle proved more manageable than expected, the Overseer Party still had decent stamina remaining even after combat ended, so they bound the fallen Elves with restraint magic.
Of course, most of them were in critical condition due to the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and the Plague Lord, but we didn’t heal even those.
After all, we weren’t foolish enough to save those who had sought our lives.
Rather than that.
Crash——————!!!
The violent sound of destruction echoing even from outside the chamber caused all three of us to stiffen.
Then.
“He’s grown stronger.”
“…Indeed.”
“I need to train more.”
All three of us muttered thus, catching a glimpse of Dohyun’s overwhelming power.
Still, Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt reasonably good about it.
‘Now it’s three of us, not two.’
‘It’s more reassuring than I thought.’
The burden that had weighed on just the two of them now distributed among three felt quite pleasant.
The saying that suffering shared is suffering halved truly held merit.
* * *
An indescribable explosion beyond the range of hearing swept across all directions, completely engulfing the surrounding area.
The destructive force, still undiminished, spread outward in an instant, and soon the very terrain itself was transformed by two tidal waves of power.
What had once been treacherous mountain terrain now had half its peak sheared away, forming a cliff face, and between them, Dohyun and Agent No. 1 stood locked in confrontation, eyes fixed upon each other.
As the two torrents of mighty force swept across each other, a thin line of blood trickled from Agent No. 1’s lips, and as I gazed upon him with a grin, my teeth—stained crimson—gleamed brilliantly.
Both of them bore severe internal injuries, standing in a tense standoff as they studied each other. Without any signal, they moved simultaneously as if they’d choreographed it perfectly.
‘So the longsword was his specialty.’
Until I wielded the twin daggers and Sashin’s relic dagger, I’d assumed short blades were my primary strength. But clearly that wasn’t the case. Agent No. 1 reassessed and lunged forward with the twin daggers again—only to watch my longsword vanish in an instant.
The weapon disappeared and reappeared just as quickly, this time as twin daggers. Seeing me switch weapons so abruptly, Agent No. 1’s expression darkened.
The casual weapon swap felt like mockery. Indignant, Agent No. 1 gripped the twin daggers and launched forward.
But in that moment, brilliant crimson Hongryeom erupted from my legs, accelerating my momentum even further. As Agent No. 1 tried to respond, my footwork through the void caused my silhouette to fade.
Shadowless Dark Moon Technique
First Form
Hidden Moon in Shadow
Agent No. 1 moved swiftly, searching for my form as it vanished like the moon hidden behind clouds. Unable to locate me despite holding Sashin’s relic, Agent No. 1 quickly deployed a technique with the twin daggers wreathed in dark inner energy.
A technique that shattered the manifested darkness as dark inner energy swept in all directions.
Formless Purgatory
Second Form
Shattering Darkness Consecutive Slash
It was an area technique that obliterated darkness and exposed anyone hiding within it—a technique that served as both offense and defense. Yet even after deploying it, my silhouette didn’t appear.
In that moment of confusion, Agent No. 1 finally noticed the darkness surrounding them. Looking up, they saw that where I’d held twin daggers moments before, I now gripped a long spear. The instant Agent No. 1 saw it, I unleashed a technique.
One of the techniques that required comprehending inner energy to unleash true power—the most formidable technique the spear in my hand could produce.
Cheongmyeong Jichang
Eighth Form
Clear Bright Meteor
As I deployed the technique, the eternal flame that had dwelled in my legs bloomed brilliant blue, harmonizing with the Clear Bright footwork above my flawless great path.
With each blue-lit step, my spear transformed into a brilliant azure meteor streaking across the clear sky, descending as a pure blue pillar of energy toward Agent No. 1.
Agent No. 1 desperately raised both daggers to block, but having just sustained internal injuries and recklessly deployed a technique, their meridians twisted and their inner power wouldn’t respond.
In that moment, Agent No. 1 couldn’t comprehend how I could flawlessly execute such a technique when their own meridians were twisted from internal damage.
“Ah.”
Only then could Agent No. 1 see it—inner power and mana circulated endlessly through the dantian connected to my heart, inner power flowing into mana and mana into inner power, protecting against maximum internal damage.
The blood-stained teeth from earlier weren’t traces of internal injury at all—it was my stratagem to make it appear that way by biting my cheeks. Deceived by this trick, Agent No. 1 was engulfed by the descending clear blue pillar of energy.
CRASH——————————!!!
The clear blue pillar, despite its serene appearance, savagely tore through everything around it. Agent No. 1 crashed to the ground from the impact, coughing blood and rolling across the floor.
I watched Agent No. 1 and smirked, seeing the messages that appeared before my eyes.
[『Usurp』 absorbs a fragment of the relic.]
[『Usurp』 partially recovers its rank.]
[『Usurp』 partially unlocks its abilities.]
[You acquire the ability to 『Usurp』 from defeated opponents, no longer requiring death.]
Seeing those words, I smirked and muttered.
“Why are you giving me all this?”
And with those words, another message appeared.
[『Erebus Malum』’s trait—『Heir of Sashin』 is 『Usurped』.]
[『Heir of Sashin』 is 『Fused』 with existing skills.]
