Chapter 99

#Episode 99

Aka flinched in surprise as the book began to be dyed with darkness.

Then, as if realizing what I was trying to do, he immediately frowned deeply.

“…You’ve already accumulated that much narrative?”

“Kehehehe… This side has lived through hell, after all.”

The black narrative.

The history I’ve lived as the Lord of Souls, as the human Cha Hyeon-su, begins to spread.

The books, moved by my story, begin to turn black and regain their true colors.

“You know what? Life is originally suffering. Within that, you find small happiness and endure each day with a small flame like a candle.”

The narrative I had built up had already consumed half the domain.

Now I finally understood why Senior had said those words.

This domain is a space where you can use your own narrative.

While it unconditionally takes your side, if your core is grasped, you can be counterattacked like this.

“Even so, do you think you can defeat me, who has dealt with history since the beginning?”

My story following my fingertips became a black wave that clashed with Aka’s wave.

Aka’s white wave was shattered and destroyed.

The weight of history is different.

I struggled to survive in Hell and buried the deceased souls.

How could a brat who lived in a cradle understand the terrible story of burying the corpse of my most beloved childhood friend with my own hands, that black charcoal burned by fire, and the heroic tale of completely exterminating the monsters that ruled that small piece of land?

“Fairy tales cannot defeat myths.”

“A mere human dares to discuss myths? How ridiculous.”

“Of course.”

The path of supremacy is dominion.

Dominion is being above all others, and ultimately the accumulated narrative proves this.

Companions who stood together lend their shoulders, and Cha Hyeon-su’s own will leads his two legs.

Therefore, I can never fall.

Before long, eighty percent of the space was dyed in my color.

Though dyed black, it was not the cold darkness of death but a warm and cozy darkness that strangled the antagonist.

Even Aka seemed not to have expected to be overwhelmed to this extent, as he flinched in confusion.

“Do you understand? You and I are on different levels of history.”

Just as the Black Reaper made of gathered paper was about to kill Aka’s narrative with its scythe.

Whoooosh-!

Befitting his space, the massive library was dismissed and my reaper also disappeared.

Awe and fear mixed in Aka’s eyes.

“…Indeed, as I heard, a monster is a monster.”

Aka, covering his body with paper, slowly began to hide his form.

Just before disappearing, he unleashed a single slash so fast it was impossible to perceive.

The sword energy that tore through the air and was swung silently cut across Aka’s chest.

It was an attack that cut through flesh and clearly exposed his ribs, but his organs were not injured.

“Cough-! As expected, it’s still… too much for now….”

With those words, Aka disappeared and only the other Monarchs remained.

As if they had truly been relying only on Aka, they were trembling and looking for a chance to escape.

That sight was so detestable that I couldn’t forgive them.

To think that those who would become Monarchs could be this lowly.

You don’t even have the value to live.

* * *

The space where the Sinjawui Monarchs gathered.

In the place where they were all watching the preliminaries of the Lord’s War together.

Only a single Monarch candidate was shaking the battlefield.

Naturally, that existence was the Lord of Souls.

It was the solo performance of the one who had just claimed this great Divine Seat.

“They’ve really raised a monster.”

“This Lord’s War is ruined too.”

“I told you we should have targeted only that guy from the beginning….”

“Didn’t you see nearly twenty of them get cut down when they rushed in? From the start, they were no match at all.”

Despite the sighs of the other Sinjawui Monarchs, the Lord of Souls and the Monarch of Wisdom only wore faint smiles.

“That guy, I told him to go easy on them, but he’s getting excited.”

The other Monarchs frowned as if their stomachs hurt at the Lord of Souls laughing as if it was nothing.

The current Divine Seat war is largely divided into five axes.

First, the overwhelmingly dominant Lord of Souls.

Second, the Monarch of Records who just fought.

Third and fourth are Monarchs from other worlds.

And finally, the one who is dominating this Lord’s War.

Among them, the scene of the Monarch of Records being mercilessly suppressed was extremely satisfying as a senior.

‘Indeed, choosing Hyun-soo was the right answer.’

A magnificent passage of a monarch.

As a monarch, he possesses mercy and compassion, yet is infinitely cold and calculating, knowing well what should be embraced and what should be cast aside.

I wanted to praise my past self for wherever such a fellow had dropped from.

‘Now I just need to break that guy.’

In terms of violence, he’s the most rampaging among this generation’s monarchs.

A guy with completely opposite tendencies to the restrained Hyun-soo who moves coldly and calculatedly.

I was already looking forward to seeing how he would react.

A true monarch must not avoid confrontation.

Walk your own path of supremacy, little monarch.

* * *

65.

That was the number of monarchs I had dealt with in this preliminary round.

Even in the ranking floating in the sky, I was displayed as the overwhelming first place.

Though there were no rivals who could even come close, I had no intention of just standing around watching.

Just as I was about to head out for additional hunting.

A thick black aura appeared around my body.

This must be what reveals my location in real time.

“Oh ho…”

“They really made it so we have to fight openly.”

“Those below standard will be properly filtered out.”

“I don’t know if this is good or bad… it’s like we’ve become fighting dogs trapped inside.”

“Must be the refined taste of those above.”

I manifested my death force with full power, wrapping it around my entire body.

The compressed death force spread out widely, announcing my presence on this battlefield.

Come on, come if you dare – at this bold display of supremacy, several beings flinched and instead ran away.

Hunter Baek Do-hyeon and Kim Yeo-ul, who were watching from the side, chuckled.

“Now you won’t even bother catching minnows like them?”

“If anyone’s confident, they’ll come looking first.”

“That’s true too.”

As if proving my words, I could see one guy running toward me at a terrifying speed from far away.

He seemed to approach calmly, but the trees around him were crumbling and breaking just from touching his aura.

With each step he took, I could feel the level of power he possessed.

“His level is quite something.”

“Got it, prepare for battle!”

The approaching guy drew the sword tied to his arm and charged at me.

I simultaneously activated Death Dance and clashed with his sword.

Sparks flew as the sword tip and scythe collided.

He was a man with black hair reaching his shoulders, wearing something resembling a hanbok mixed with black and white.

The characters “Cheonma” written on his chest clearly displayed his presence.

“Cheonma…?”

“You must be the Lord of Souls.”

The Cheonma, who I thought only existed in martial arts novels, had actually appeared before me.

I didn’t know from which being he borrowed his power, but an indescribable force was surging above him.

White and red, black and blue.

It was a strange power that was ever-changing if you called it changeable, and thick if you called it dark.

Above his head was written the number 38.

That guy must be ranked 3rd.

He probably planned to take me down and rise to the top in one go.

Assuming I would obediently let myself be defeated, that is.

“Die obediently by this lord’s hand, Lord of Souls.”

“You don’t seem quite at the level to use the term ‘lord’ yet.”

Death Dance aimed for Cheonma’s neck.

Cheonma reacted late to my surprise attack, and a chunk of his left hair was cut off.

Not stopping there, I cast Recall Decree on my companions and moved even faster.

The silent death contained in my footsteps pressed down on him, but Cheonma wouldn’t be easily defeated either, slanting his sword downward to deflect all my attacks.

Then he lifted his left foot high and stomped the ground hard.

That single stomp made the ground shake as if an earthquake had occurred, but I also stomped the ground explosively, calming it with resonance.

At this, Cheonma’s eyes twitched, and he took his stance again.

“You’re certainly not just anybody.”

“I don’t think I’m at the level to be evaluated by you.”

“Hmph.”

The rushing sword splits the moment.

The blade that divided time to target vital points failed to find its target and slashed through empty air.

I ducked my head to avoid the blade and switched to gauntlets, entering close combat.

I struck directly at Cheonma’s heart, but with a clang! as if he wore iron armor, he was simply pushed back.

If it had been ordinary iron, I would have torn right through it, so he must be wearing some special armor.

“Cough-!”

Still, he couldn’t ignore the internal injuries, as Cheonma coughed and breathed roughly.

Then surprisingly, he began charging at me again.

‘His nature is quite fierce.’

The sword tip pretended to aim for my left eye before curving hazily.

The blade twisted like a living snake, targeting my neck.

Just as I struck the sword with my fist and tried to dive into his embrace again, he slammed his knee into my fist.

The distance opened up instantly, and once again he charged at me.

The longer the battle continued, the more refined his movements became.

A practical combat style forged not just from pure killing intent, but from fighting spirit and technique continued.

I could feel it instinctively.

This guy is a gem.

A jewel created by cutting and polishing a raw stone to its limits among countless rough stones.

‘If he’s Cheonma, then he’s from China… Is there some association that cultivates monsters like this?’

When I saw Seo and Golden Dragon, it didn’t seem like there was anything like that.

There’s probably some dark organization the government doesn’t know about.

Not that I’m likely to lose though.

Desperado, transformed into a sword, struck his blade head-on.

‘Is this how it’s done?’

I gradually began to mimic his movements, advancing step by step.

The sword path began to become readable to my eyes.

To my eyes, there were still unnecessary elements in his movements.

The sword path, instantly corrected within the Imaginary World, manifested as an even faster swift sword.

Cheonma, startled by swordsmanship similar to his own but far more advanced, barely dodged the attack and distanced himself from me.

Cheonma, blinking with a greatly flustered expression as if he couldn’t understand it at all, looked back and forth between me and the sword several times before asking.

“How did you do that…?”

The techniques that countless masters had refined over eons, this man before him had corrected and elevated with just a few swings.

A monster among the finest in martial arts history.

There was no other way to describe it, but the man answered with a sneer as if it was nothing.

“I just did it and it worked?”

A single phrase casually spat out without any concern.

In that one phrase, he felt a massive wall of talent.

A wall of talent he absolutely refused to acknowledge.

After surviving that hell, he couldn’t be broken in a place like this.

The profound mysteries began gathering in the Cheonma Mulgye Sword.

The one and only finishing technique practiced tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of times solely to kill the opponent.

Cheonma’s eyes began to flash.

His half-white, half-black gaze blazed like flames, and demonic energy surged forth, fueled by killing intent.

The sword blade trembled and roared as if craving blood, and he took a step forward.

Time seemed to flow slowly.
