Chapter 294
294: A New Heart Method (1)
* * *
Hasty awakened on a pristine white bed, coughing violently as consciousness returned.
“Cough.” “Hack.” “Gasp.”
His expression was unmistakable—the look of someone who should have died, bewildered at still drawing breath.
Dohyun approached the recovering Asura, breaking the silence.
“You’re awake?”
“Where… am I?”
“Hmm.”
“This place reeks of Dragon-humans.”
Dohyun nodded in acknowledgment as Hasty muttered those words, his three heads turning slightly.
The pristine white bed upon which Hasty lay was none other than one in the Infirmary of Hezway’s Building.
The bed itself was enormous enough to accommodate a massive creature like Hasty, a testament to the facility’s extraordinary quality and resources.
As Hasty surveyed his surroundings, his gaze settled on Dohyun with unmistakable confusion.
Why had this man saved him?
Because the Asura were swarming? Yet knowing Dohyun’s nature, that seemed utterly implausible.
“I believed you would have slaughtered all the B-Rank Asura and killed us regardless.”
“Why did you save us?”
“Is there a reason?”
Dohyun had grown somewhat accustomed to Hasty’s three heads speaking in succession, and he chuckled lightly before nodding.
There were many reasons. Very many indeed.
As Dohyun smiled at that thought, Hasty inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
Then came the words.
“You’re alive so we can spar again.”
“What?!”
“Spar?”
“That battle we just fought—was that merely a sparring match to you?!”
Hasty’s three mouths fell open in shock at Dohyun’s words, staring at him in disbelief.
What manner of creature was this? He carried the familiar scent of his own kind, yet from a different race.
No, this was…
‘Even stronger than my own kin…’
‘The Asura know to pause when satisfied.’
‘Was that a sparring match without satisfaction…?’
It seemed impossible, yet Hasty accepted it readily enough. Such distinctions were relative, after all.
Besides, the Asura possessed three heads but rarely dwelled long on such matters.
“Hmm, it was a satisfying match for me,”
“But perhaps not for you.”
“Very well. When shall we spar again?”
As Hasty spoke, Dohyun regarded him with even greater bewilderment, his expression shifting.
“What are you talking about? We should do it every day. Multiple times a day for proper sparring, right?”
“What?!”
“What?!”
“What?!”
At Dohyun’s words, Hasty’s already blue skin seemed to grow even paler.
Regardless, Dohyun continued speaking as he observed Hasty’s reaction.
“Not just me—you’ll need to spar against my party members too, so you’ll be quite busy.”
“You… you mean I only have to face you, right?”
“Why would I need to face your party members?”
“Shouldn’t we be sparring against each other?”
At Hasty’s bewildered question, Dohyun looked at him as if he were the one being unreasonable.
Of course, everyone except Dohyun found the situation incomprehensible.
Hasty wasn’t even part of their party, nor had they made any formal alliance, so it seemed absurd that Dohyun would propose such a thing.
Yet Dohyun spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
And then:
“Hasty, you attacked us first, so you should at least do this much as compensation for the damages.”
“D-damages compensation?”
“W-what?”
“That kind of thing…”
Though Hasty had never heard such a term before, cold sweat was already beading on his brow.
The Asura Clan had a strong culture of settling things through combat, but this opponent was different. If Hasty suggested splitting the difference, Dohyun would probably agree and then assign him something even more dangerous. He was certain of it.
Though Hasty loved combat, and had just experienced a satisfying battle where death wouldn’t have been surprising—and had even survived it—he couldn’t even review what happened before being thrust into another sparring match.
What kind of brutal training was this?
As Hasty’s eyes began calculating whether he could settle this with points instead, Dohyun spoke:
“By the way, if you’re going to pay in points, it’s at least ten million points per person.”
“…” “…” “…”
Ten million points per person meant ten million points for each member of Dohyun’s party, and since Dohyun’s party was at full strength, that came to fifty million points total.
Upon hearing this, Hasty shot to his feet and declared:
“Who should I face first?”
“I’m eager to spar.”
“Ahem, show me the way.”
At Hasty’s sudden change in attitude, Dohyun smiled wickedly and replied:
“That’s the spirit.”
Observing Dohyun’s smile, Hasty thought to himself:
Here stands a true combat fiend.
‘No, not a combat fiend…’
‘Should I call him a demon of greed…?’
‘Either way, he’s not normal…’
Dohyun’s obsession with sparring was enough to make even an Asura shake his head, but there was no helping it.
To escape this situation, Hasty would either have to pay the points or die, and no matter how much an Asura loved combat, he had no desire to throw away his life meaninglessly.
He wasn’t afraid of dying in true combat—in fact, he should have welcomed it—but he had no desire to earn the disgrace of perishing while dodging a debt.
Thus, Hasty found himself inevitably becoming the sparring partner for the Overseer Party.
“Kahahaha!”
“Come on!!!”
“Khaaaaah!”
Since it had come to this, he decided to give it his all and enjoy it, and facing such an enthusiastic Hasty, Jiyuchan let out a sigh.
So this is how it turns out, he thought.
Yet even so, believing this would inevitably be helpful, Jiyuchan was giving his all when Dohyun spoke.
“If you do well, I’ll create a heart method for you.”
“Ooh!?” “!!!”
At those words, the eyes of both Jiyuchan and Hezeway Paraksarl gleamed with new intensity.
The heart methods of Dohyun, whose talent was acknowledged even by Lecia, the transcendent of the first generation of magic, possessed immeasurable value.
With Jiyuchan, going first, burning with such fervor, Hezeway Paraksarl, going second, likewise ignited her resolve, and witnessing their passion, Hasty too found himself kindled with equal enthusiasm.
* * *
While Hasty and Jiyuchan were engaged in fierce sparring, Dohyun exited the building and headed straight for the Heavenly Martial Alliance.
To create heart methods, he needed to 『Analyze』 all of the Heavenly Martial Alliance’s heart methods.
‘I’ve done this before, but having to do it again is a bit tedious.’
Well, there was no helping it.
Though Dohyun had already analyzed all those heart methods once before, he hadn’t actually acquired them all, so 『Analysis』 was unavoidable.
Of course, if he went this time, he could create heart methods for both Jiyuchan and Hezeway Paraksarl, so there would be no need to seek out the Heavenly Martial Alliance again in the B-Rank Zone.
He had already obtained everything he wanted.
A time limit was imposed once more, and leaving behind Targa, who bid him a safe journey, Dohyun swiftly gained entry to the Gold-grade Archive.
Seeing the archive, which always contained a wealth of high-quality martial arts manuals no matter when he visited, Dohyun used 『Analysis』 with practiced ease.
[Analyzing all martial arts manuals in the archive.]
[Found manuals useful for your party members 「Jiyuchan」 and 「Hezeway Paraksarl」.]
‘Already?’
How much time had passed since using 『Analysis』, and it had already found them?
Dohyun looked quite surprised at the text of 『Analysis』 when another message appeared.
The handwriting seemed rather smug somehow.
[Found quickly because these were previously 『Analyzed』.]
[There are no limits to 『Analysis』.]
Finding it somewhat endearing, Dohyun silently acknowledged it and tried to see 『Analysis』’s opinion on how to proceed.
Then.
[Since the heart method of 「Jiyuchan」 exists as the 『Platinum Sword King』’s heart method, duplication may be preferable to creation.]
[The martial arts currently in the archive connected to 『Platinum Sword King』 are 「Azure Gold Flowing Sword [A]」「Molten Gold Fiery Scales Palm [A]」「Iron Heart Silent Contemplation Secret [A]」.]
[Will you 『Fuse』 them?]
Reading those characters that suddenly appeared all at once, Dohyun readily accepted.
After all, it was a heart method he intended to give to Jiyuchan.
Even without Dohyun personally acquiring those three skills, now that he had gained a bit more 『Essence』, 『Analysis』 naturally wielded its power.
First, it seized the contents of those three with 『Usurp』, duplicated them with 『Analysis』, then returned them to their original state.
After that, when I brought those three martial arts to Analysis and fused them together, I could feel Analysis connecting somewhere in the process.
‘Hmm. It’s happening again this time.’
Dohyun sensed the same sensation he had felt before, but for some reason, an instinct told him he shouldn’t touch it further, so he refrained from sensing more.
It was as if black and white blended together, and I glimpsed something vast that I couldn’t even comprehend, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
I couldn’t understand it yet, but I thought I would eventually.
It was right then that Dohyun turned his attention away.
New text appeared.
[You have successfully fused three martial arts into one and replicated the Heart Method—「Heavenly Strength White Gold Technique (天罡白金訣)[S+]」.]
[Analyzing the newly fused martial art.]
‘Oho?’
Upon obtaining this new Heart Method, Dohyun smiled upon seeing it was not merely S-Rank but S+-Rank.
The Platinum Sword King trait itself was S-Rank, but now I understood.
Traits rise when one achieves transcendence. Perhaps this Heavenly Strength White Gold Technique was also a realm the Platinum Sword King had reached during his active years?
‘I’m not sure if he reached transcendence.’
I thought I would find out as Jiyuchan grew stronger.
Since it was far easier than when I had replicated the Heavenly Opportunity Myriad Transformation Technique before, Dohyun didn’t hesitate to move forward to the next one.
Next was Hezway’s Heart Method.
Of course, it seemed it would be slightly more difficult than Jiyuchan’s.
Not because she was a Superior Race, but because Hezway had already created a Mana Heart. I needed to create a Heart Method synchronized with that Mana Heart and obtain a technique that utilized the heart—the middle dantian.
And that was—
[Analysis reveals that 「Hezeway Paraksarl」does not have a separate Heart Method tailored to the 「Twilight Dragon Emperor」.]
[Therefore, it would be beneficial to create a new Heart Method for 「Hezeway Paraksarl」.]
[The martial arts currently in the Archive that suit the 「Twilight Dragon Emperor」are: 「Azure Wave Dark Flying Dragon Sword (破暗飛龍劍)[A]」「Seven-Colored Illusory Light Shadow (七彩幻光影)[A]」「Piercing Heaven Sun Wheel Finger (貫天日輪指)[A]」「Flowing Light Chain Strike (流光連環擊)[A]」.]
[Would you like to fuse them?]
‘Except for one, they’re all somewhat related to light.’
Since the martial arts were related to illusions or light, and one was related to dragons, Dohyun boldly accepted immediately.
This time too, just like with Jiyuchan, it wasn’t particularly difficult.
In fact, creation felt far easier than replication, and at that moment, Dohyun could see it.
Thanks to that, not much time passed before the text appeared immediately.
[Yes, you have successfully fused the martial arts into one and created the Heart Method—「Dawn Radiance Scripture (黎明光彩經)[S+]」.]
[Analyzing the newly fused martial art.]
As the formula of the newly created martial art flowed into Dohyun’s mind, he couldn’t help but nod in acknowledgment.
It harmonized beautifully with the Mana Heart in the heart, the middle dantian, and the inner energy accumulated within it formed a formula capable of sufficient healing, matching Hezway’s very essence.
It was such a perfectly suited Heart Method that Dohyun couldn’t help but nod, saying it was indeed Analysis.
What would I have done without Analysis?
Thinking this way, Dohyun left after some time had passed.
Then he showed Targa that he had borrowed some random martial art and returned it.
“…?”
When Targa looked at Dohyun with a confused expression, as if asking why he was returning it, Dohyun answered with a smile.
“I’ve seen it all.”
Watching Dohyun depart with that smile, Targa found himself contemplating.
‘Already?’
Then, suddenly, Targa murmured to himself.
“No, seriously—if he’s going to read through it that quickly, what’s even the point of borrowing it…?”
