A Mad Swordsman Returns – Chapter 332

I drew a deep breath, focusing my mind intently.
What flowed from my body were two fundamentally opposing forces.
Dense demonic energy and righteous energy began overflowing from both my hands.

‘Heavenly Void Body. I can harmonize all energies.’

Demonic energy and righteous energy.
Even though they existed at opposite ends of the spectrum, I could control them.
My body was far more special than anyone else’s.
And.

‘Dual Flame. Conflicting attributes cannot be wielded simultaneously. But….’

That was what the skill description stated.
Yet the being I had witnessed accomplished it. The figure wielding two blades freely controlled energies presumed to be demonic and righteous.
And merged them together, transforming them into a new force.

‘To blend energies that cannot be blended.’

The image that came to mind was water and oil.
I dispersed the energies that refused to mix through my own power, then blended them again. I forced the mixed energy into the conduit.
Soon, the righteous and demonic energies began moving according to my will.

Whoosh!

“…!”

In that instant, blood erupted from my entire body as if being torn apart, accompanied by excruciating agony.
The two energies within my body refused to mix, instead convulsing violently.

“Haaah….”

Pain that an ordinary person could never endure.
But for me, this was far too familiar.
Gritting my teeth, I began suppressing the raging energies.

‘Mix them together.’

Water and oil, emulsification.
If they cannot blend, then disperse them.
Take the dispersed energies and forge them into one. Push this newly created force into a single point.
Where? The fist?
No, with my current understanding, using the fist as a conduit is impossible. Then I simply need a different medium.
Han Yu-sung gripped the blade tightly.

Whoooooosh!

Intense energy erupted from the Blood Demon Sword.
Brilliant white and profoundly dark black energy. Righteous force and demonic force collided against each other, then began to intertwine.
Neither white nor black, but something entirely new.

[Primordial Convergence.]

Han Yu-sung’s eyes widened.
An overwhelming power unlike anything I had ever felt before. A force that only those who transcended humanity—those who existed at a higher realm—could wield.
Now, that power rested in Han Yu-sung’s grasp.
And then.

Craaaaaack!

Han Yu-sung did not suppress that power.
The unleashed blade tore through the darkness.
Gray energy surged from the blade, literally rending apart the space that confined me.
No—it went beyond that.

Crunch, crack!

The space itself was crushed.
As if it could not possibly withstand the overwhelming force descending upon it.
The Dark Space crumbled helplessly, and brilliant light poured through from beyond.

“….”

Han Yu-sung felt the cascading light, blade still extended.
A profound sense of exhaustion washed over me as I closed my eyes.

[Hmm? You came back faster than expected.]

I heard a familiar voice.
Opening my eyes, I saw Kakasha staring at me with a shocked expression, and the familiar sight of the Sanctuary came into view.
She examined Han Yu-sung’s body and tilted her head in confusion.

[What were you doing out there to get wounded so severely? I don’t know who it was, but it seems you fought against an incredibly formidable opponent.]
“No, well…”

Han Yu-sung exhaled and collapsed to the ground.
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion washed over me.
It felt as though I had poured out everything within my body.

“…It wasn’t an opponent.”
[Not an opponent? Hmm, drink this for now. Your condition is in terrible shape.]

Kakasha threw a potion to Han Yu-sung despite her bewilderment.
As I drank the potion, the wounds began to heal rapidly.
However, the endless exhaustion remained unhealed.

“It’s quite effective.”
[It’s an expensive potion. Though it’s no longer expensive for me now. Hmm…the external wounds are healing, but the internal injuries aren’t recovering well. What exactly did you do?]
“There was much that happened.”

Han Yu-sung explained to Kakasha everything I had experienced inside.
The Entity that existed in the Space Created by Myungmyungrok.
The war it showed me—one that occurred at an unknown time. The two factions that fought there.
An existence possessing power that even Transcendents dared not oppose.
And an unknown figure standing alone against that existence.

‘I don’t know why, but there was something familiar about it.’

That figure wielded both black and white auras simultaneously.
Needless to say, demonic energy and righteous energy. And using both, it created an aura that was chaotic yet simultaneously orderly.
The aura known as Harmony.
Who was this being capable of all this?

‘The Nameless One.’

The master of the fragments that Han Yu-sung possessed, including the ‘God-Slayer’.
There was no one else. Could the Entity that existed in this space have been nothing more than a shadow of him?
I began to understand what he had shown me.

‘Events that actually occurred in the past.’

If that were the case, the existence of those who wielded the black aura was obvious.
‘The Wanderers.’
Those who opposed them would be Lords, Wanderers, or Gods. They had waged a war of tremendous scale in the past.

‘The victor is… obvious.’

The Nameless One must have been defeated.
If he had won, the fragments would never have scattered, and the ‘God-Slayer’ would never have come into existence.
In other words, Han Yu-sung’s existence proved the defeat of the past.
So what became of The Nameless One after his defeat?

[Hmmmm….]

Kakasha fell silent after hearing my explanation.
She tilted her head as if finding it difficult to accept.

“Kakasha. Do you know anything else about this?”
[How could I? This is the first I’ve heard of it. In fact… .]

Kakasha’s brow furrowed.

[I’ve never even heard that such a war took place. That there was a leader of the Wanderers, and that they fought against the Gods, including the Great Will… I have never heard of such things.]
“As I thought.”

Kakasha, being a Lord, was relatively old in age.
But that was only by human standards. By the standards of Lords, she was middling, perhaps slightly below that.
In any case, objectively speaking, her age was considerable.

[Kyaaaack! It seems you’re thinking something disrespectful!]
“….”

Whether she had read my thoughts or not, Kakasha suddenly erupted.
In any case.

“Would a Lord like Thunder God know about it?”
[Hmph! That seems unlikely. If it were such a major event, all Lords would know of it. It was a historic war where the ‘Great Will’ itself—who never reveals its form—appeared and fought directly.]
“True. A war of that magnitude couldn’t possibly be unknown.”
[Hmm. As I said before, this is the first I’ve heard of such a war. The same must be true for other Lords. The only possibility we can deduce is….]

Han Yu-sung and Kakasha locked eyes.
Without hesitation, they both nodded in unison.

“It was erased.”
[Isn’t that the most likely possibility? We already know that there exists a being whose very name and existence have been erased.]

The Nameless One.
A transcendent being powerful enough to face the Great Will itself. Needless to say, such an entity would possess immense power.
And yet, even the name and existence of such a being were erased.
It would certainly be possible to erase the historical record of a war that actually occurred.

[The fact that the war occurred was erased, and the existence of its instigator was erased as well. But the followers who served him were not eliminated….]
“You mean the Wanderers.”
[Isn’t that strange?]

Han Yu-sung nodded at Kakasha’s question.
There was something that had felt odd to me for a long time.

“If our deduction is correct, the Wanderers are like rebels who once raised their banners in defiance… But why are they left alone? Why are they allowed to search for fragments and legacies?”
[I share the same thought. Why are such beings left to roam free, and what is the ‘Great Will’—victor of that war—even doing?]
“Hmm….”

It was a mystery that seemed impossible to solve.
Yet there was one possibility that came to mind.

“What if it’s in a state where it cannot move?”
[You mean the ‘Great Will’? Hmm, that would be….]
“It hasn’t revealed itself for a long time. You said even you and the other Lords have never seen its form. What if that’s impossible for a different reason?”

Kakasha furrowed his brow, lost in deep contemplation.
After a moment, he slowly nodded.

[…That’s a plausible theory. I don’t know when that war took place, but if it inflicted severe damage? If that’s why it still cannot reveal itself, then there’s merit to your reasoning.]

It’s merely speculation at this point.
Regardless.

“There’s definitely something I failed to perceive….”

I never witnessed the end of the war.
I only saw the moment they collided with each other. What transpired afterward, why the situation unfolded as it did—I saw none of it.
In the end, more information was necessary.
And fortunately.

[Geomson. Eliminating that bastard should suffice.]
“Right. Since he’s The Wanderer, he must know something.”

War with Geomson was inevitable in the near future anyway.
If I brought him down, I could obtain the information I needed.
That was my assessment.

[Hm? My lord, why are you suddenly gleaming?]
“What? Gleaming? What are you….”

At that moment, Kakasha uttered something utterly unexpected.
I furrowed my brow and glanced down at my own body.
Just as she said, I realized my form was radiating light.
To be more precise.

[Ah, no—not your body, but your garment….]

The robe I wore.
The Nameless Heavenly Garment was emanating brilliant radiance.
The reason became clear immediately.

[Sufficient legacies have been collected.]
[The Nameless Heavenly Garment has recovered sufficient power. The item’s grade has ascended one tier, advancing to the ‘Eternity’ grade.]

[Nameless Heavenly Demon (Eternity)]
· Category: Armor (Robe).
· Garment of one denied even a name.
· Defense +600, Magic Defense +550. (Further enhanced based on the wearer’s ‘Demonic Energy’ and ‘Righteous Energy’.)
· Demonic Energy +150, Demonic Energy Regeneration Speed +100%, Maximum Demonic Energy +80%.
· Skill Effect Enhancement (Major) when using Demonic Energy.
· During its duration, all skills used are treated as having been cast with stacked Demonic Energy, allowing the use of 【Rebirth】. While Rebirth is active, Demonic Energy regenerates rapidly and its power is amplified.
· The Nameless Heavenly Demon 【Refines】 Demonic Energy and Righteous Energy. When drawing forth ‘Primordial Harmony’ using the refined dual energies, the recoil is mitigated, and the power of the completed ‘Primordial Harmony’ is further enhanced.
· There exist ‘Legacies’ linked to this item. Each time a ‘Legacy’ is equipped, the Nameless Heavenly Demon gradually reclaims its complete power.
· While wearing this item, all effects applied to ‘Demonic Energy’ are identically applied to ‘Righteous Energy’.

The Nameless Heavenly Demon’s rank has ascended.
From Mythic rank to Eternity rank.
It was thanks to obtaining the Legacy that Dok-go Cheon possessed.
I could see new effects related to Righteous Energy and Primordial Harmony had been added.

“Excellent. This is exactly what I needed.”

The recoil from using Primordial Harmony was far from ordinary.
An item that mitigates such recoil would prove invaluable.
So then, only one thing remained.

“Now, shall I go meet Geomson?”
