Chapter 117

#Episode 117

When I opened my eyes, I found myself inside a capsule that looked like an infirmary.

I was wearing a respirator and golden liquid was floating around me.

The progress must not have been very good, as the octopus-headed medical staff examining the charts had hardened expressions.

“It must have been quite critical.”

When I tapped on the capsule door, the white-coated medical staff who had been conversing with each other were startled.

Some widened their eyes in disbelief and trembled with their hands shaking.

It seemed my revival was such a shocking event.

For me too, it had been a life-risking adventure.

Shortly after, the liquid drained to the bottom and the mask came off with a pop.

Then the capsule door opened.

“Haaah… Pahaaa…”

The quality of air entering my lungs was different.

Now it felt like I could control every single hair on my body as if it were alive.

I could clearly feel every part of my body that I had roughly managed with all my strength until now.

My entire body, which I had controlled at roughly 70 percent, could now be perfectly controlled at 100 percent down to the tips of my finger joints.

My swordsmanship, spearmanship, and ability to handle power in all aspects had qualitatively changed.

It seemed Jormungandr had given me an opportunity that couldn’t be obtained even with billions of gold.

Though I didn’t know why she was so favorable toward me despite meeting for the first time today, she was a woman who kept stirring my reason.

“Phew, I’m glad I endured it well.”

When I came out of the capsule, my companions embraced me with tears in their eyes.

Especially Kim Yeo-ul, who ran over with reddened eyes and hugged me tightly.

“Huhuuung, you idiot! What were you trying to do? My heart almost stopped!”

I heard that my heart had actually stopped once.

Indeed, I understood why they had been so worried.

“Idiot, if I had died, you all would have disappeared too.”

Even while saying such things, I gently patted Yeo-ul’s back and stroked her head.

“I don’t know… I don’t know, you idiot… Never do that again.”

“Okay, I won’t be careless.”

“Promise me.”

“Yes, I promise. If I lie, I’ll shave my head and enter a temple.”

“…Don’t shave it and don’t go either.”

When I reassured Kim Yeo-ul with silly jokes, my companions finally let out sighs of relief.

The dominant reaction was that they really thought something terrible would happen.

“So, how is your body condition now?”

“Hmm… This is complicated to explain, but I’ve gained an incredible opportunity?”

“An opportunity?”

“Yes, would you all like to come to the training room?”

Armor made of death force covered my entire body.

I strangely felt like I was becoming similar to my senior.

“I’ll go easy, so come at me with full power.”

“We were always at full power though?”

Armor made of death force was equipped all over my body.

A black helmet was worn over my head and a cloak fluttered on my shoulders.

In my hand, Desperado was emanating death that was qualitatively different from before.

There was definitely an eerie feeling that just brushing against it would separate one from this world and life.

“Here I go.”

It started with light probing.

I wrapped death force around Desperado, which I had changed into a spear, creating a storm and rotating it.

I sharpened the spear tip to maximize penetration power and injected death force into the end of the spear shaft, exploding it to push the speed to its limit as well.

“Hup-!”

The sensation throughout my body starting from my toes began to respond keenly.

The upgraded mana circuits carried death force, naturally strengthening the parts of my body that were exerting power.

From toes, soles, ankles, thighs, knees, calves, to pelvis, waist, abdomen, chest, shoulders, forearms, elbows, wrists, hands, backs of hands, and fingertips.

Kwadrrrk-!

The magic spear that flew drawing a dark black line easily pierced through Hunter Kang Cheol-u’s barrier.

The scythe that charged forward with exploding death force stopped precisely in front of Hunter Kang Cheol-u’s forehead.

This was the result of a lightly thrown attack.

I couldn’t even dare to predict what would happen if I attacked seriously.

Since he was someone who blocked 100 percent of ranged attacks, he widened his eyes in surprise.

“H-how did you do that?”

Since he was someone who always blocked my attacks, he would know how different this attack was in caliber.

Since it was difficult for me to explain easily, I just stated a familiar theory.

“Poison can sometimes become medicine for someone.”

At those words, my companions began seriously considering taking poison.

Of course, I stopped them.

* * *

Even with the news that I had been injured and carried away, the tournament continued as usual.

While I was lying in the hospital room, my turn came around again.

This match was.

“Oh.”

The Blue King.

Wasn’t this the guy who had overwhelmed the previous Lord of Music?

Even among the powerful ones, he possessed strength that could be counted on one hand, so I definitely remembered him.

‘The Blue King…’

What exactly was he based on?

Since the Red King Karnaq was the sun, could he be the moon?

But for that to be true, the power he possessed surpassed Karnaq’s.

Considering the relationship between the moon and sun, that would be impossible.

“He doesn’t seem ordinary, so should I go all out from the start this time?”

This time too, I came out alone first without my companions.

Most of the Lords came out with their companions, but I didn’t want to expose my companions’ abilities just yet.

Standing in front of the training room door, I donned black armor over my entire body.

The lengthened Desperado growled as it cried out for victory.

Shortly after, the countdown began with the frog’s announcement of a black versus blue showdown.

Three.

Two.

One.

[Let’s begiiiin!]

With the frog’s announcement, the door opened and I kicked off the ground and burst out.

I kicked the air several more times to charge forward and clashed with the Blue King’s sword.

Claaang-!

“Hoh!”

“Not bad.”

The Blue King’s sword was quite spicy.

Not only did he block my attack, but he even aimed for a counterattack.

My opponent was someone who mainly handled swords.

I should play around with close combat once first.

I switched to dual swords and began dancing a delightful waltz with his blade.

The swords clashed repeatedly, sparking flames.

As we went on, we both increased our speed, neither dodging nor being pushed back.

The Blue King’s sword traced a chillingly beautiful sword path.

Like massive blue waves of the ocean crashing down, his decisive strike pressed down on me heavily.

I pressed him with my sword that valued swiftness, attacking with rhythm.

“Heuuup-!”

The blue sword that threw a decisive move was simply blocked by my black sword and pushed back.

The Blue King stared at me intently, then drew his sword again and entered combat stance.

“There’s something I’d like to ask.”

“…What is it?”

I hadn’t expected him to speak in this situation, so I answered him properly.

“What is the Soul Sovereign’s name?”

“Shouldn’t you reveal your own first as a matter of courtesy?”

“Hmm, I made a mistake. I am the Blue King, Ao.”

“Yes, I am the Soul Sovereign, Cha Hyeon-su.”

“Cha Hyeon-su…”

A blue mask began to appear over his face.

A blue star began to rise in the sky above.

[Sirius, I see.]

“So that’s where that tremendous power comes from…”

[Be on guard. He’s not an enemy you can compare to the likes of Karnaq.]

In his hands after completing battle preparations were two swords.

“Soul Sovereign Cha Hyeon-su, I will remember you.”

“Is that so?”

“Blue King Ao, I will now cut you down.”

Movement worthy of that stylish line began, but close combat ends here.

Earlier I just wanted to test my physical body, but I have no intention of being drawn into a fight that favors my opponent any further.

A massive black coffin swallowed the entire dueling arena.

Complete darkness that even obscured Sirius descended upon the world.

Blue King Ao was shining brilliantly like a radiant star even within that darkness.

“Soul Sovereign Cha Hyeon-su, I will now reap the soul of Blue King Ao.”

Honestly, I’m not sure about this kind of thing, but I spoke with courtesy toward my opponent.

Ao nodded his head, then even in this situation, he charged toward me.

Blades flew through the air, leaving blue light trailing like lightning.

The Grim Reapers, increased in number to match my enhanced capabilities, began unleashing a frenzied barrage of slashes toward Ao.

Ao instead deflected all those slashes while approaching me.

I took no action.

I simply transformed Desperado into a shield to block the attacks.

In that brief moment, thousands of attacks poured down, yet not even a small scratch appeared on the shield.

I pointed at the Antagonist with my finger as if crushing an ant.

Black chains began pouring down like a torrential downpour.

Slashes and chains, and finally the spears of death force I created came raining down.

With my thorough resolve not to engage in close combat, wounds began appearing one by one on the Blue King’s body.

I increased the pressure with an indifferent expression.

Even in the midst of all this, he was deflecting almost every attack with swordsmanship approaching divine technique.

Feeling the greatness of Sirius, I stopped my attacks and prepared for one final great strike.

The Blue King seemed to sense this as well, looking up at me and nodding his head.

I released my domain and bestowed the mercy of allowing him to receive Sirius’s light.

This was not recklessness, but praise for him who had magnificently endured my domain.

He too seemed not to have expected me to release my domain, blinking his eyes before bowing his head slightly.

“Then, I’ll ask one last time.”

“Please speak.”

“Do you have no intention of surrendering?”

At my question, he smiled a brilliantly blue smile.

“There is no surrender in my path of conquest.”

“How magnificent.”

A wonderful king with a pure soul.

He even possesses such excellent skills that it would feel regrettable to let him go here.

“Then, I’m coming.”

“Good. Let us compare each other’s best.”

Death begins to settle over Desperado.

The death force drawn from my entire body covered Desperado and compressed it hundreds of times.

But this alone isn’t enough.

The primordial death sleeping in my heart slithered like a snake up my arm and created a new blade on Desperado’s scythe.

Death layered countless times upon the eerily long scythe.

Normally at this level my hands should be trembling, but now there’s none of that.

This is a divine technique that only I can unleash.

“Are you ready?”

“Let’s see what you’ve got.”

The Blue King made the first move.

Sirius’s light poured down on him, and after absorbing all that power, he merged his swords back into one.

He raised the pure white sword of light above his head, taking the stance of iaido.

Then with the will to cut through the world itself, he brought down the sword that had been in the sky.

The sword containing the light of heaven commands the world.

That was surely a technique magnificent enough to be called a finishing move.

But I could feel it instinctively.

This battle is my victory.

Sing of death, O great Grim Reaper.

Proclaim to the living the greatness of the end.

Tell the dead who cannot escape reincarnation of the vastness of the new world.

The massive Grim Reaper that appeared behind me swung its scythe with all its might.

The world was dyed black.

There is no logic to this attack.

An attack mixed with death itself.

It shattered the slash made with mere Sirius and left a massive black scar on the arena.

The sword wound on the Blue King’s chest was flickering with black flames.

For a moment, the arena was dyed in silence.

In that bewildered moment, only Frog shouted at the top of his lungs.

[What an incredible match— The winner is! Soul Sovereignnnn-!]

Waaaaaaah!

Only then did ear-splitting cheers ring out.

I reverse-summoned Desperado and approached the Blue King, withdrawing the death I had unleashed.

“Since you are a good person, I don’t want to kill you.”

I bowed my head in respect for the good fight and turned away.

For some reason, the Blue King’s cheeks were slightly flushed red.
