Chapter 206
I watched the Demon stagger and sway, recognizing the opening I needed. Without hesitation, I surged forward with every ounce of my power, charging directly at him.
As I closed the distance, I unleashed a devastating punch straight at the Demon’s face without a moment’s pause. The first blow was merely the beginning—I continued my relentless assault, driving my fists forward in rapid succession. Brilliant light erupted from my hands, piercing the darkness as I savagely battered his visage. Each impact twisted his features grotesquely, and blood streamed freely from his mouth.
The Demon could not withstand my ferocious barrage. His massive frame, already unsteady, lost all balance and was driven backward. He crashed to the ground with such force that the very earth trembled, the impact echoing across the landscape with a deafening roar.
I approached the fallen Demon slowly, a cruel smile playing across my lips. Reaching down toward his head, I raised my luminous fist high above him.
“It ends now!”
As I cried out, my enhanced fist descended upon the Demon’s skull. The sickening crunch of bone shattered the air as his head was obliterated. His body erupted in brilliant crimson light, fragmenting into countless pieces. The scattered remains disintegrated into dust as they fell through the air, vanishing completely.
As the Demon dissolved, his immense power transformed into its primal essence and surged toward me. It was darkness itself, yet it radiated scorching heat. The swirling flames of shadow tore through the air, engulfing me in their fierce embrace.
The darkness descended upon me desperately, hungrily. I could barely breathe. Yet simultaneously, I felt an electric thrill coursing through every fiber of my being.
In the next instant, the dark flames began seeping into my skin as if yearning to merge with me. Every cell in my body drew the darkness deep within, thirsting for its power. The weighty essence permeated even the marrow of my bones, shaking the very foundation of my existence.
In that sensation—whether agony or ecstasy, I could not tell—something awakened deep within my soul. The dark power condensed and flowed through my veins and muscles.
Then it happened.
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from my throat.
“Graaaaaahhhhh!”
The colossal cry that resonated from the depths of my being was powerful enough to shake the Temple itself.
With that roar, the transformation began.
Crimson scales began to emerge across my skin, spreading rapidly to cover my entire body. These small, hardened scales multiplied at an astonishing pace, enveloping me completely.
My rough human skin transformed into a gleaming crimson armor that radiated with an otherworldly glow.
Two horns rose slowly from my forehead. The sharp, pointed horns—reminiscent of a Demon—evoked an unsettling presence.
Once the transformation was complete, I slowly surveyed my surroundings.
My gaze lifted toward the Sky.
Then, channeling tremendous power into my legs, I launched myself upward in a mighty leap.
Boom!
As my massive form shot into the air, a deafening sound reverberated across the space.
I tore through the Sky in flight.
Whoosh!
Space itself warped, and a colossal rift materialized before me.
A vast chasm in reality, radiating brilliant crimson light.
Without hesitation, I hurled myself into it.
The rift swallowed my form and sealed shut in an instant.
With a blinding flash of red, my silhouette vanished without a trace.
* * *
Within the brilliant crimson radiance, I slowly opened my eyes.
As my vision gradually cleared, an awe-inspiring sight unfolded before me.
Everything around me was drenched in crimson.
The entire world seemed painted in red—a shocking landscape that stretched endlessly.
A strange and unfamiliar realm where brilliant scarlet light rippled and undulated.
The intense, vivid crimson that consumed the entire space created an atmosphere that stole one’s breath.
The overwhelming symphony of color was enough to stop the heart.
I slowly lowered my gaze to examine the ground beneath my feet.
What he beheld was yet another wondrous spectacle.
Beneath his feet, colossal crimson lightning whipped and churned.
Violent lightning swept across the land, writhing with untamed fury.
The undulating red lightning clawed at the earth, unleashing a deafening roar.
Thunderous echoes reverberated in all directions.
After drinking in the sight for a moment, Kim Jae-beom launched himself forward without hesitation.
Cleaving through the void, he plunged toward the ground where lightning raged.
Like an arrow loosed from a bow, Kim Jae-beom descended toward the earth.
Boom!
The instant his massive frame struck the ground, a tremendous shockwave convulsed the entire region.
Dust erupted from the earth as it trembled, and everything around shook violently.
Moments later, the dust cloud gradually settled, revealing the landscape of the landing site.
As Kim Jae-beom surveyed the terrain surrounding him, alien presences entered his vision.
Around the landing site, a horde of Demons awaited.
Their grotesque and sinister forms were completely covered in crimson hide.
Beneath the blood-red, vivid skin, sharp fangs and claws jutted out menacingly.
Between the writhing Demons emanated a chilling, spine-tingling aura.
In that instant, the Demons’ mouths opened wide in unison.
Fangs bared, their maws gaped open.
“Graaaaaaagh!”
With a roar that assailed his ears, the Demons surged ferociously toward Kim Jae-beom.
Tearing through the darkness, the horde of Demons charged savagely.
Claws raised, the Demons descended upon Kim Jae-beom.
Their eyes blazed with murderous intent, and they rushed forward with unceasing shrieks.
Confronted by the threat, Kim Jae-beom remained unruffled and responded with agility.
Without hesitation, he extended his right hand toward the void.
As his arm swept through the air, brilliant light bloomed from his palm.
The light gradually took form.
What materialized, radiating crimson radiance, was none other than a staff.
Following Kim Jae-beom, a staff gleaming with brilliant red light manifested in the void.
Without hesitation, he seized the luminous staff.
With the weighty sensation against his hand came an alien power coursing through his entire body.
Around Kim Jae-beom, holding the staff, intense energy whipped and swirled.
A colossal aura radiating red light enveloped him.
Kim Jae-beom swung the crimson staff mightily toward the Demons.
With each movement of the staff, accompanied by the sound of air being rent asunder, violent tempests erupted around him.
A red vortex spun ferociously, centered upon Kim Jae-beom.
Rotating at tremendous speed, fierce winds extended outward in all directions.
The tempest, radiating red light, seemed to devour everything in its path.
The overwhelming storm swept the surroundings clean, engulfing the Demons with merciless fury.
Driven back by the gale, the Demons tumbled and scattered, their anguished screams intertwining in chaos.
The tempest descended upon them relentlessly, as if intent on plunging the horde into complete pandemonium.
Gripped by terror, the Demons resisted with desperate fervor, yet they possessed no means to withstand the storm’s overwhelming force.
Swept up by the tremendous power, the Demons were trampled mercilessly beneath it.
Engulfed in the crimson maelstrom, the Demons shrieked and scattered in all directions.
The overwhelmed horde of Demons began a panicked retreat.
Yet the tempest showed no sign of relenting.
The blazing scarlet vortex pursued them with savage intensity, as if intent on consuming them whole.
The sight of the Demons fleeing in desperation while the tempest pursued them with ferocious determination was awe-inspiring.
Battered by the raging storm, the Demons tumbled about and vanished into the darkness.
The tempest that had consumed the Demons grew ever more violent.
With brilliant crimson radiance, everything was drawn into the maelstrom.
Standing at the center of the tempest, I cut an absolutely overwhelming figure.
Fierce winds and lightning coiled around me, yet I stood unmoved, my composure unshaken.
Even amidst the torrential downpour and the thunder that crashed down, I appeared composed and serene.
A leisurely smile played at my lips, as if all of this moved at my command.
Then I slowly raised my right hand.
The motion of my arm extending toward the Sky.
As I stretched my arm, the surrounding air rippled and undulated.
The moment my hand touched empty space, the gale intensified dramatically.
The savage vortex began to spiral around me at tremendous speed.
The tempest, accelerating ever faster, soon rotated at an incredible velocity, consuming everything in its path.
The Demons caught in the maelstrom were torn apart and shattered, sucked into the vortex.
Even as this horrific spectacle unfolded, I gazed upon the tempest with perfect tranquility.
The swirling storm gradually narrowed and contracted.
In an instant, the tempest condensed into a small sphere within my hand.
Within my palm, now calm like the eye of a hurricane, a small yet intensely powerful orb of energy had formed.
Within the sphere, the raging tempest and the Demons caught within it were compressed and sealed.
The Demons trapped inside the sphere were twisted and warped into grotesque, tangled masses.
Gradually, the forms of the Demons melted away, losing their shape and slowly transforming into pure light.
As if being purified, they seemed to transcend into pure energy.
Soon the tempest enveloping the sphere dissipated, and the condensed mass of energy fell downward, pulled by gravity.
