A Mad Swordsman Returns – Chapter 360

The Holy War Battlefield had begun.
The Oath-takers and soldiers moved first.
Kakasha’s newly acquired colossal war machines surged forward, trampling the earth, while Achiros’s colossal war machines—secured through divine support—advanced to meet them.
The two titans collided.

Crash!

The moment they struck, one side’s colossal war machines crumbled unilaterally.
Remarkably, they were Achiros’s machines.
Achiros’s colossal war machines could not withstand the onslaught and collapsed.
The reason was simple.
Kakasha’s degraded colossal war machines had become complete.

Boom!

– Roooaaarrr!

Particularly, Kakasha’s special colossal war machines.
The Guardian of the Wall and Shura were demonstrating remarkable prowess.
Unable to withstand the unexpected assault, Achiros’s colossal war machines collapsed, and the shockwave crashed down upon the Oath Keepers of Justice.
Just as Kakasha’s forces were about to overwhelm them.

Brilliant light erupted!

Radiant luminescence engulfed the entire area.
It was the light summoned by Achiros’s angels.
That light tore a massive rift in the void, and beyond it, countless spear blades of pure light rained down like torrential water.
Simultaneously, certain beings revealed themselves.

– As the Lord commands.
– We shall defend this place, even at the cost of our lives.

Archangels clad in heavy armor, their overwhelming physiques radiating dominance.
The light they summoned drove back the enemy and empowered their allies.
Simultaneously, they brought down their great swords, unleashing a colossal slash of pure light toward the War Covenant soldiers.
Soldiers whose bodies were bisected in an instant by the tremendous force of the devastating slash.

Clang, clang, clang!

“Ugh…!”

Kaldrex, who had blocked that attack, let out a strained groan.
It was a casual slash, yet the power contained within it was far from ordinary.

“Still possessing such strength in reserve?”
“It’s not just remaining—it seems to be overflowing.”
“It does appear that way.”

Baek Min-jun gestured with his eyes toward the space beyond the archangels.
Powerful enemies continued to emerge in an endless stream.

‘This battle is the final one, isn’t it.’

Both Lords, and everyone who participated in this Holy War Battlefield, knew it.
If they lost in this Holy War Battlefield, it would be over. All the victories our forces had achieved in the Lord battles, all the defeats the enemy had suffered—
it would all become meaningless.
So they had to win this battle, no matter what.
Even if it meant throwing everything they had into it.

“Haaah…”

Shouts echoed across the Battlefield.
War and Justice—the two forces collided, and fierce combat erupted.
Baek Min-jun exhaled deeply and gazed up at the sky.

“…Can we win?”
“Who knows…”

Sung Ha-yan, who had drawn closer, asked that question.
In the sky, a battle of transcendents was unfolding.
A battle that players like Baek Min-jun couldn’t even dare to participate in.
Among them, Han Yu-sung’s figure was visible.
Could they truly win in this battle?

“We have to believe.”

In the meantime, we do what we can.
Baek Min-jun drew a deep breath. His unique ability, 【Battle Command】, strengthened through this trial, now empowered his allies.
Sung Ha-yan gripped her sword tightly.

“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”

The War Covenant Members threw themselves into battle.

* * *

This battle would not last long.
The two transcendents locked in fierce combat reached the same conclusion simultaneously.
Whoever won, this battle could not endure.

Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!

They had clashed in a final confrontation before.
They knew how each would fight, how each would respond to attacks. And they both understood that breaking those predictions was necessary.
To shatter predictions, a ‘variable’ was required.

Whoooosh!

Blades forged from terror-fire streaked toward Achiros.
Thousands of blades erupted in an instant. But before they could reach him, countless ‘suns’ blazed into existence across the void.
Suns composed entirely of radiant light.
The suns blazed with searing brilliance, consuming the thousands of rushing blades whole.
And beyond that, even the soldiers locked in combat on the ground below.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

“Aaaahhhhh!”
“No, even us…!”

The countless suns detonated, obliterating those consumed within them.
Simultaneously, devastating rays of light erupted from the suns. The radiant power engulfed Kakasha, tearing at her form.
Kakasha summoned terror-fire to repel the encroaching light.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

[Grrrrgh…!]

As if I had foreseen it, a colossal slash came crashing down.
Kakasha groaned as she defended against the strike.
The moment Achiros moved to pursue her, I saw something being fired from a blind spot.
A human I would kill without hesitation if I could.

[Unbelievable.]

A blade saturated with dense primordial essence tore through the void. From its tip, thousands of sword auras erupted, attempting to engulf Achiros.
The power contained within those auras was something even I could not ignore.

[A human daring to interfere in a Lord’s battle….]

What this battle required was a variable to shatter all predictions.
There was no question what variable the Lord of War, Kakasha, had chosen.
Han Yu-sung. He would become the variable in this Holy War Battlefield.
In other words.

‘If only I could kill that bastard.’

My victory would be assured.
The incoming sword auras clashed with Achiros’s light—thousands upon thousands of them.
Before a Lord’s power, a human’s sword auras should have been annihilated.
But Han Yu-sung’s auras were different.
Rather, the light I had unleashed was being pushed back.

‘Primordial essence.’

I gazed at the ashen-white aura dwelling within those sword auras.
A disturbing presence. My ‘qualification as a Lord’ from the distant past instinctively rejected this aura called primordial essence.
As a Lord, it was utterly intolerable.
It could not be otherwise.

‘That aura carries the will to annihilate Lords.’

No.
Not merely Lords. Something far greater than that.

‘Gods, and perhaps….’

The will to destroy the one who created all of this.
A power infused with such formidable will was pushing back Achiros’s light.
This is dangerous. As a Lord, it’s a power I cannot tolerate.
Now, while he remains immature, is my only chance.
Therefore.

[Solitary Poison responds to its master’s will.]

Achiros grasped the sword.
The blade known as ‘Solitary Poison’ erupted with blinding radiance.
In the next instant, the light vanished.

[This is…!]

It was exactly as it appeared.
The world plunged into absolute darkness in a single moment.
Every light that existed in this world was absorbed into the ‘Solitary Poison’ Achiros wielded.
But that was not all.

‘Your Majesty, the power I possess!’
‘I know. I’m experiencing the same thing.’

Solitary Poison absorbed all energy along with the light.
Han Yu-sung and Kakasha, the Oath-takers and soldiers on the ground. It made no distinction between ally and enemy, caring not whether they lived or died.
It absorbed everything, and gifted all it had consumed to its master.

‘Is this the item’s effect?’

Achiros is a ‘complete’ Lord. He has accumulated power by toppling countless Lords, and seized all the power that the Lord of War once possessed.
The strength he commands is unparalleled even among Lords.
Could a ‘World’ grade item truly be significant to such a Lord?

‘No. The reason he has never completed a World grade item despite being capable of doing so is simply because he never felt the need.’

‘World’-grade items possessed transcendent power.
So rare that few Lords across the entire Universe possessed them. Items as scarce as they were mighty, their power befitting their rarity.
Items that granted supremacy in any battle.
But not for Achiros. A Lord as formidable as him could summon the power of World items whenever he wished.
That’s why he had never coveted World items until now.
Yet now, he desired one.
And above all, he had perfected it in a form suited to himself.

[A most satisfying creation.]

Solitary Supremacy.
Existing alone, with only oneself worthy of reverence.
Seizing all that exists in the world and making it one’s own power.
The ‘Solitary Supremacy’ that Achiros had completed was an item for precisely that purpose.

Crack—crack—crack!

The darkened world began to split asunder.
The heavens collapsed, and the ground continued to fracture. Between those fissures, an endless darkness descended.
From within that abyss, Achiros took a step forward.

Boom!

Overwhelming force crushed all in its path.
A power that even Kakasha and Han Yu-sung struggled to endure. Their movements froze, and the battle on the ground momentarily stilled.
Achiros cleaved through the void with a sweeping motion.
Then.

[Shatter.]

The trajectory left by ‘Solitary Supremacy’ blazed with light, and the Sanctuary split open.
Unable to withstand Achiros’s single blade, it fractured. And within that trajectory were Han Yu-sung and Kakasha as well.
Han Yu-sung and Kakasha felt the overwhelming force rushing toward them.
That power engulfed them before they could even evade.

Slash!

With a cutting sound, brilliant light exploded.
Han Yu-sung and Kakasha were swallowed by the light. Vision was consumed by dizzying radiance, and an overwhelming explosion followed in its wake.
The War Covenant Members who witnessed the spectacle held their breath.

‘Overwhelming power.’

Someone—no, everyone thought the same thing.
A single blade strike capable of cleaving the Sanctuary itself. The mercilessly torn Sanctuary crumbled as if it could no longer endure, collapsing without reprieve.
Had there ever been a Lord possessing such power?
But Achiros’s movements were far from finished.

Kiiiiing!

[Confess your sins.]

Achiros unleashed his authority.
Then a colossal scale appeared, covering the entire Battlefield.
On one side of the scale lay ‘War,’ on the other ‘Justice.’
The scale tilted heavily toward the ‘War’ side.

[The Scale of Justice punishes sin.]

Punishment descended upon the War Covenant Members.
Overwhelming weight crushed their bodies. Invisible chains bound them, rendering movement impossible.
That was not all. Incomprehensible terror pressed upon their minds, and the aura of fear enveloping their bodies rapidly withered.
And slowly, a blade descended above their heads.

[Those who have sinned….]

In stark contrast, strength was granted to the Oath Keepers of Justice.
Power precisely opposite to the punishment the War Covenant Members received. They could only watch as enemies approached beneath the descending blade.
Achiros raised his sword once more.
Between the fractured heavens, colossal blades revealed themselves.
Their number was beyond counting.

[Pass judgment.]

Colossal blades rained down like meteors.
The swords targeted only Han Yu-sung and Kakasha—two alone. They carved trajectories of pure light as they hurtled toward them.
Another deafening explosion erupted.

‘I will end them here. Decisively.’

I harbored no carelessness.
Achiros sensed the presence of Kakasha and Han Yu-sung. Though weakened by successive assaults, they yet drew breath.
So I would finish them. Absolutely.

‘Now, it is possible.’

Achiros felt omnipotent power surge through him.
‘Dokjon’ was a World Item designed to amplify the power of lordship that Achiros wielded. If it granted him such strength—
He raised ‘Dokjon’ higher, its light burning ever more fiercely.
To eliminate an enemy that no Lord could tolerate.

A resonant hum pierced the air.

And in that instant.
Light blazed forth.

[The Primordial Blade responds to its master’s will.]

Faint, yet incomparably radiant.
The ‘Primordial Light’ emerged.
