A Mad Swordsman Returns – Chapter 237

A creature of the Void, Ugleyn.
Whether it possessed consciousness or not remained a mystery to me.
One thing was certain: it had asked for liberation.
And I had no idea how to grant it.

Crash!
— …!

That left me with only one option.
Beat Ugleyn until it achieved liberation.
I drew a sharp breath and unleashed every buff I’d been saving.
Physical enhancement, Prominence, Spirit of Blood Ghost, Dragon Transformation.
And.

[The effect of the Nameless Heavenly Robe, Resurrection, has been activated.]
[For a set duration, all skills are treated as if layered with magical energy, amplifying their power. Additionally, magical energy regenerates rapidly!]

Resurrection, too.
Magical energy erupted explosively from my body.
In the next instant, my form vanished.

Incineration.

Boom!
There was no time to react.
I shot forward in a blur and struck Ugleyn’s solar plexus with devastating force, and all-consuming flames detonated.
Flames intertwined with magical energy swallowed the Void itself.
And pierced straight through Ugleyn’s chest.

— Gack, ahhhhh!

Ugleyn unleashed a furious roar.
At the same moment, the wound I’d torn through its chest began to knit itself together.
It seemed the Void was healing the injury.
But the speed was slower than expected—the parts where magical energy remained seemed resistant to swift recovery.

‘Recovery ability. Using demonic energy can slow down the healing.’

Han Yu-sung’s hand struck through empty space.
The 【Blood Sea Crimson Flame Palm】 that unfolded from his fingertips shot toward Ugleyn.
The creature snarled like a beast and drew forth the Void.

– Kaaaaaaah!

Just as Han Yu-sung had done, it struck the empty air with astonishing speed.
Each time Ugleyn’s palm struck the void, waves of Void energy erupted like cannon fire.
Massive projectiles of Void descended upon Han Yu-sung from all directions.
Witnessing this, Han Yu-sung’s pupils dilated slightly.

‘Palm technique? It feels like firing Void energy instead of internal force.’

Han Yu-sung immediately deployed 【Arcana’s Protection】.
Multiple layers of defensive barriers unfurled before him. They collided with the Void that Ugleyn unleashed, shattering under the onslaught.
The remaining Void energy swept over Han Yu-sung.

‘Remarkable power.’

But I had bought enough time to evade.
Han Yu-sung sidestepped the rushing Void with minimal movement while gripping his blade, lightning infused with demonic energy crackling along its edge.

Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique, Second Form: 【Rotating Single Flash】.

The blade descended toward Ugleyn’s shoulder.
But the blade never reached its target.
Remarkably, Ugleyn caught the incoming blade with a bare hand.
The Void surrounding his hand collided violently with the lightning.
In that instant, Han Yu-sung and Ugleyn’s gazes met.

– Kraaaaaaah!

Void energy gathered once more at Ugleyn’s fingertips.
Han Yu-sung drove his blade into the ground and concentrated demonic energy into his fist.
Soon, both their fists shot toward each other.

Kwaaaang!

Two fists collided head-on.
A thunderous boom erupted from the impact.
The Void gathered in Ugleyn’s fist scattered in all directions, shaking the entire Underground Chamber.
Han Yu-sung, who had met that fist, was no exception.
A tremendous shock reverberated through my entire body.

To think a single blow could pack this much power.

Blood sprayed from Han Yu-sung’s fist and arm.
That wasn’t all. I could feel the Void that Ugleyn had unleashed burrowing into my body through the torn wounds.
A stronger opponent than expected—and far more intriguing.
A smile played across my lips.

– Kraaaaaaagh!

A barrage of strikes erupted from Ugleyn’s hands.
Savage as a beast, yet paradoxically precise and disciplined.
But.

I can see it.

My eyes had already grown accustomed to his fighting technique.
The Heavenly Martial Body made that possible.
With movements that seemed almost miraculous, I deflected or evaded each strike aimed at my vital points with perfect precision.
And I waited for my opening.
For the moment when Ugleyn would unleash another blow like the one before.

– Krrgh… Kraaaaaaagh!

Ugleyn let out a furious roar as he watched me continue to evade and deflect his attacks.

Boom!

He stomped down hard. The ground cracked open, and Void energy surged up through the fissures.
That Void wrapped around my feet.

– Tch, wha—!

My movement came to an abrupt halt.
Seeing this, Ugleyn’s face twisted into a manic grin as he drove his foot into the ground.
The distance between us closed in an instant.
With my feet bound, I could neither evade nor retreat.
In truth, I had never intended to.

Shiiiiing!

The sound of air being torn asunder reached my ears.
A fist laden with tremendous force bore down upon me.
I drew a sharp breath. And as if I had been waiting for this very moment, I shattered every ‘Mana Seal’ that had been circling my heart.
Overwhelming magical energy bloomed from my fingertips.
Magical energy so potent that even Ugleyn, who had thrown the punch, faltered.
And then.

Craaaaaash!

Once more, two fists collided head-on.
For a moment, silence reigned.
And in the next instant.

Booooooom!

– Extreme…!

With a deafening roar that shook heaven and earth, Ugleyn’s fist vanished.
Overwhelming magical energy had consumed the void and annihilated his fist.
And in succession, the blood wind compressed within the fist was released.
The blood wind, intertwined with overwhelming magical energy, surged past the fist and up the arm.
And that was not all—it tore through Ugleyn’s entire body.

– Ugh, uuuugh!

Ugleyn convulsed in agony.
He attempted to heal his vanished fist and the wounds that covered his entire form.
But the magical energy that engulfed him hindered his regeneration.
Time. That was what Ugleyn’s fading consciousness determined he needed.
And The Void that shrouded all around stood ready to aid him.

– Roooaaarrr!

Ugleyn roared.
The Void around him responded to that roar.
The Void covering the ceiling, walls, and floor began to writhe.
And it surged up like a massive wave.

– Kyaaaack!
– Grrk, grrk…!
“Tedious creatures appearing again.”

Countless Void creatures poured down like rain.
So he intended to overwhelm me with numbers using those things.
Han Yu-sung clicked his tongue in annoyance and spread his palm wide open.
A luminous orb floated above his open hand.

[The Star Orb radiates brilliant light.]
[The power of stars infuses the magic you are about to unleash!]

A pattern of calamity was inscribed across the sky in sync with the message.
Soon, the 【Calamity Rain】 poured down.
No—enhanced by the power of stars, it could no longer be called mere rain.

Booooom!
[It’s as if meteors are falling!]

True to those words, fireballs the size of boulders rained down.
The fireballs that struck the ground unleashed tremendous explosions.
The explosions, wrapped in magical energy, swept across all directions and consumed the Void creatures.

Needless to say, it was the effect of the Star Orb.
This orb possessed the effect of doubling the power of the next magic spell cast. If I poured in more magical energy, it could amplify up to threefold.
The magic strengthened by that effect had swept away the Void creatures.

– Kh, ugh…?

Ugleyn’s eyes widened in disbelief.
He hadn’t harbored great expectations for the Void creatures.
But he had thought they would at least buy him some time.

“Why isn’t the battle unfolding as I expected?”
– Cough!

Ugleyn’s body, suspended in mid-air, crashed against the wall.
It was the result of Han Yu-sung’s attack, delivered at a speed beyond comprehension.
He showed no intention of stopping, continuing his relentless barrage.

Boom! Crash!

An unceasing torrent of consecutive strikes.
The blade, scraping across the ground, severed Ugleyn’s knees.
Simultaneously, magic unfurled from all directions, and the 【Heavenly Thunder】 that followed mercilessly incinerated his entire body.
And directly overhead.

Boom!

The 【Heavenly Sword】 materialized in an instant, striking the ground with devastating force.
Countless sword energies lacerated Ugleyn without mercy.
He couldn’t even scream, forced to endure the endless onslaught.
Meanwhile, the Void enveloping his body was beginning to dissipate.
At this rate, the demonic energy would annihilate all of the Void.
The moment I thought this.

Roar!

[Huh…?]

A formidable presence made itself known.
Kakasha, who had been observing the battle, furrowed his brow.
The aura of a transcendent being.
A Lord?
No, this isn’t the aura of a Lord.
This presence is…

[Beyond a Lord… Could it be…?]

The moment Kakasha recalled the presence’s owner.
A tremendous power descended upon the crumbling Ugleyn.
It was not a strength he possessed himself.
A power granted by someone external—if I had to describe it, it resembled a blessing bestowed by the Lords.
Ugleyn, receiving that power, staggered upright.

– Krraaaaaaaa!
“Noisy creature.”

He unleashed a ferocious roar.
Simultaneously, an immense surge of The Void erupted from Ugleyn.
That Void set the battered Ugleyn in motion.
Witnessing this, Han Yu-sung clicked his tongue and extended his hand.

“Kakasha.”
[I know! Be careful! We must finish this as quickly as possible!]

Kakasha ignited a blaze of flames.
The flames swiftly transformed into the shape of a blade, becoming the Flames of War as it settled into Han Yu-sung’s grasp.
Beyond, I could see Ugleyn spreading both hands wide.
And an overwhelming concentration of The Void gathering in those palms.

– Kaaaaaaaa!

Ugleyn charged forward with a roar.
Han Yu-sung gripped the Black Sword and the Flames of War in both hands.

Heaven’s Blood Ten Thousand Swords.
The fourth form of Halden-style swordsmanship, Annihilation.

Two techniques unfolded simultaneously.
The Heaven’s Blood Ten Thousand Swords, mingling flame and demonic energy, consumed Ugleyn entirely, incinerating the mysterious blessing that clung to him in an instant.
Every last trace of The Void that enveloped his body—all of it.

– Kh, haa…!

Ugleyn’s movements halted abruptly.
The Annihilation, unfolding in tandem with Heaven’s Blood Ten Thousand Swords, descended upon Ugleyn’s defenseless shoulder, cleaving through to his lower body.
A violent explosion erupted in succession.

CRASH!

That was the final blow.
Ugleyn, unable to withstand the impact, fell to his knees.
I regarded the battered form of Ugleyn in silence.
The Void that had once engulfed his entire body was largely dissipating.

– My heart….
“Your heart?”

Ugleyn slowly raised his head.
In his eyes now gleamed a clarity that had been absent moments before.

– My heart, destroyed… I’m already….
“Too late, then.”

Ugleyn could not finish his words.
Yet I understood what remained unsaid.
I nodded and drove my fist forward.

Thud!

My fist, wreathed in crimson wind, pierced through Ugleyn’s heart.
I felt his body convulse. The Void that had consumed his form vanished entirely, and the body it had consumed began to fade away.
A whisper reached my ears.

– Yusan, the Guardian is dead….

Ugleyn pointed toward where Yusan lay.
A colossal Statue, swallowed by The Void, held Yusan cradled in its massive hands.
Yusan too was completely consumed by the mudlike Void.
But with my demonic energy, I could dispel that Void.

– The source of The Void….

With those words, Ugleyn vanished.
Released by the wind, perhaps. I stood before the colossal Statue, still gripping the flames of the raging battle.
A smile naturally bloomed across my face.

“Fine, then.”

A blade cleaving through empty air.
Flames wreathed in demonic energy surged toward the Legacy.
Toward The Void that had consumed the Legacy of the ‘Nameless Heaven’—the inferno was unleashed.

“Let me see what kind of object this truly is.”

The flames of war engulfed The Void.
In that instant, the Legacy erupted with brilliant light.

Whoooooosh!

The Void that had blanketed the Underground Chamber began to dissipate.
Moreover, the Temple of Void itself, and even The Void that covered the surface—
All of it vanished as though it had never existed from the beginning.
