Chapter 754

Togui swallowed hard as he watched Raon Zigheart appear suddenly and cleave Marang’s body into three pieces.

‘Amun?’

He couldn’t believe that Amun, the warrior known as the Black Fox, had suddenly burst forth and killed Marang.
Since he had personally summoned Amun and verified his martial prowess and aura, the situation itself felt unreal, leaving his mind reeling.

‘Twin blades of flame and frost… wait?’

Togui’s jaw trembled as he beheld the two blazing swords in Raon’s hands.

‘Those blades must be…!’

He had heard that when Raon Zigheart opened the Sword Realm, a divine blade burning with flame and a demonic blade condensed with frost would manifest.
Looking up, he saw the sun and moon hovering above the arena’s ceiling.

There was no doubt. The warrior known as the Black Fox, Amun, was the usurper Raon Zigheart.

“Raon Zigheart!”

The White Ghost Sword Master also seemed to recognize Raon’s identity, biting his lips until they bled.

“Togui! Did you betray us?!”

He drew his sword from his waist and aimed it at both Raon and Togui simultaneously.

“You fool! Can you still say such things after seeing that spectacle?”

Togui furrowed his brow as he gestured toward the arena, now a chaotic battlefield as if a riot had erupted.

“Wherever the information leaked from, that’s not what matters now.”

He ground his teeth as he glared at Raon.

“We can only resolve this crisis by capturing that arrogant brat.”

Togui said they needed to deal with Marang as quickly as possible, then drew the crimson greatsword hanging on the wall.

“Hmm….”

The White Ghost Sword Master dispelled his doubts about Togui and unsheathed the blackened longsword from his waist.

[Don’t move just yet.]

Togui focused his gaze on me while sending an aura message to the White Ghost Sword Master.

[Marang will wake up soon.]

Since Marang was shrouded in demonic energy throughout his body, he wouldn’t die immediately from a sword wound. I needed to draw attention so he could launch a surprise attack on me.

“These are Zigheart’s whelps! Leave none alive—slaughter them all!”

Togui stomped his foot heavily and roared toward the arena.

“Move, all of you!”

The White Ghost Sword Master also commanded the Baekgui Squad to kill the Gwangpung Corps.

“Tear off their limbs!”

At the enraged subordinate lord’s cry, the Black Tower’s minions also rushed toward the Gwangpung Corps.

Whoooosh!

Countless enemies surged toward the Gwangpung Corps, forming a shape like a black wave.

“Raon Zigheart.”

Togui tilted his chin toward me, who was surrounded by quiet aura.

“If you remain still like that, all your subordinates will die.”

He let out an obvious sneer, trying to make me anxious.

“My subordinates?”

I chuckled at Raon as if to say it was impossible.

“So you’re as arrogant as I’ve heard.”

Togui’s face flushed at my mockery, but inwardly he suppressed his excitement.

‘It’s moving.’

The corpse of Marang, whom I had defeated, began to twitch. If I could just buy a little more time, it would resurrect and launch a surprise counterattack.

“How did you find this place!”

The White Ghost Sword Master seemed to share the same thought as he addressed me, his eyes bloodshot with fury.

“I looked at the map.”

I flicked my finger, indicating that everything was shown on the map.

“Raon Zigheart!”
“Die!”

Togui and the White Ghost Sword Master unleashed their slashes simultaneously. The wave of aura infused with wrathful intent surged toward my neck and heart.

Clang!

I crossed the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, severing their blade strikes.

“You’re holding back.”

I lowered both blades and shook my head.

“Is it because of the one behind me?”

I curled my lips as if I knew everything, then stomped on the twitching corpse of Marang.

Boom!

The corpse of Marang, which had been moving as if attempting resurrection, shattered and scattered.

“I’m sorry, but that one can’t be revived.”
“W-what nonsense is that!”

Togui’s eyes widened as if they might tear apart.

“I’ve fought the Black Tower countless times, so I didn’t strike his body—I struck his soul.”

I scoffed at Marang, who no longer moved, and revealed my eyes burning crimson like the sun.

“Marang’s end is here.”

*

*

I twisted my lips as I gazed upon Marang’s corpse, now returned to human form.

‘That worked perfectly.’

The Black Tower’s demons often revived even after losing their heads or having their hearts burst, as they wielded demonic energy, death energy, and spectral energy.
Thinking Marang wouldn’t die in a single strike, I had infused the sword strike of the Divine Demon Harmony with the Overwhelming Force of Wrath, Ogram.

Had Marang reached transcendence, it would have been ineffective, but since he was merely a Grand Master, severing his life force proved effortless.

-That one’s mind certainly works swiftly, I must say.

Wrath exhaled as if in admiration.

“Still, it’s a one-on-one! Just kill him in one breath!”

Togui drove his greatsword downward, and the White Ghost Sword Master leaped toward the ceiling, thrusting his longsword.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!

As the sword strikes from two Grand Masters threatened to engulf me, a green wind erected a thick barrier.

Whoooosh!

The Wall of Wind suppressed the sword strikes of Togui and the White Ghost Sword Master, erasing them as if they had never existed from the start.

“No, that’s not it.”

Rimer, who had conjured the wind, climbed onto the Observation Tower and clicked his tongue.

“It’s not two against one—it’s two against two.”

He swung his sword while declaring he couldn’t go to the Organization Master.

“Light Sword….”

The White Ghost Sword Master bit his lip deeply, as if he had encountered Rimer before.

“Still moving like a grasshopper. Finding it fascinating that your limbs actually work.”

Rimer opened his hand lightly as if delighted.

“Organization Master.”

He stepped back beside me and wiggled his fingers.

“Care to wager a hundred gold coins on who captures whom first?”
“Agreed.”

I nodded while standing before Togui.

“Hah….”

Togui exhaled sharply, as if utterly dumbfounded.

“A whelp not even born when this kingdom was founded dares to—!”

Veins bulged across his forehead as genuine fury consumed him.

“I’ll show you why they call me Togui!”
“Because you’re mad for money.”
“Mad for money and battle!”

Togui kicked off the ground with his greatsword resting across his shoulder. The marble floor of the Observation Tower surged like waves, obscuring my vision.

Boom!

As I watched the incoming marble waves, Togui brought his blade down from my left side.

‘He’s no fool.’

Since I’d anticipated he wouldn’t resort to such an obvious attack, I remained unruffled and pivoted my ankle to the left.

Boom!

Shifting my weight onto my big toe, I raised both the Holy Sword and the Demonic Sword simultaneously.

Boom!

When my two blades collided head-on with Togui’s greatsword, a tremendous force erupted, and the left side of the Observation Tower crumbled.

Crash!

I stepped on the falling steel beams and drew the Manhwagong Spinning Slash against Togui.
The Demonic Sword’s frost rose like jagged teeth, hurtling toward his heart.

“Hmph!”

Togui effortlessly raised the flat of his greatsword and deflected the slash with ease.

‘As expected.’

I clicked my tongue as Togui’s greatsword descended.

‘He’s moving exactly as predicted.’

Greatsword wielders typically used the flat of the blade to deflect rather than parry with the edge, and Togui was no exception.

‘This is my opening.’

I pierced into Togui’s space using the Tae Hwa Step, an adaptation of the Ghost Demon Sword Master’s footwork.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

Togui, befitting a Grand Master, swiftly regained his stance, but my blade had already carved through his defenses.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

The Frost Chain unfolded simultaneously through the Divine Sword and Demon Sword, infused with the winds of the Gwangpung Style.
The ship surged forward as faster blades relentlessly hammered against Togui’s greatsword.

“Ugh!”

Togui was driven backward, attempting to shift into an offensive stance, but I afforded him no such opportunity.

‘I must maintain the pressure.’

Following with the Taewhasa technique, I unleashed successive sword forms to prevent Togui from transitioning to attack.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!

Togui could only focus on defense, unable to assume an offensive posture until he fell to the arena floor.

“You’re still far from it.”

I spoke with cold precision, striking down the barrier of Kanghwan that Togui had erected with the Radiant Sword and Snowstorm Sword Form.

“Nngh…”

Togui bit his lip as he was relentlessly driven back.

‘What is this man…’

His offense has no openings!

I didn’t underestimate him for his youth, nor did I take him lightly, yet I couldn’t mount an attack.
The Flame Sword and Frost Sword meshed like gears, boring in relentlessly, leaving no moment to create an opening.
The epithet “Togui” felt shameful.

‘Still, I must endure!’

I can’t die here!

I haven’t even spent all the money I’ve accumulated so far. I couldn’t fall behind like this. I had to survive, even if I had to crawl on the ground.

‘No matter how difficult, there’s always a way.’

My true strength wasn’t my sword—it was my eyes.
With eyes that coveted treasure, I could discern the flow of my opponent’s swordplay. Given time, I was confident I could win.

Crackle, crackle!

Togui bore wounds across his entire body while concentrating all his focus on Raon’s swordplay.
Without surrendering, as he observed, the flow and characteristics of the swordplay Raon was unfolding began to come into view.

Clang, clang, clang!

Togui thrust his greatsword into the subtly exposed gap in Raon’s defense.

Crash!

For the first time since the battle began, Raon was pushed backward. Finally, his attack had landed.

“Now it begins… huh?”

Just as Togui was about to continue his offensive, rolling his parched lips upward—

Zing!

Raon’s swordplay, which surged forward after his retreat, suddenly transformed. Into the sword path that had focused on speed and power, change, precision, and audacity were now woven.

Boom!

Togui couldn’t adapt to the intense transformation—so vivid his eyes burned—and was pushed back once more.

“What… what is this?”

Togui’s eyes trembled as if bewildered.

“You’re not tired, are you?”

Raon tilted his jaw to one side, twisting his lips.

“I still have many sword techniques left to test.”
“You dare, you bastard!”

Togui charged toward Raon, masking the despair flooding his eyes with rage.
The crimson-gleaming greatsword exploded with aura as it crashed down—a thunderous strike as heavy as the gold coins he’d accumulated. It was the Spear Flash Thunder technique from the Ten Directional Spear Sword.

‘Strong sword, breaking sword, heavy sword, evil sword.’

In an instant, Raon grasped the essence of the Spear Cloud Thunder technique and twisted his waist to the left. He channeled the steadfast energy of his lower dantian through his divine and demonic swords, unfolding the Demonic Absolute Sword.

Demonic Absolute Sword technique—Cloud Demon String Resonance.

Aura billowed like clouds, suppressing the Spear Flash Thunder’s force and coiling around Togui’s entire body.

Shhwaaack!

As Raon tilted his divine sword downward, blood erupted from Togui’s vital points.

“Ugh…”

Togui dropped his greatsword and collapsed onto his knees in the sand.

“This… this is impossible…”

Unable to accept his own defeat, his entire body trembled before he fell backward.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue softly as I gazed at Togui’s lifeless corpse.

“I told you to hold on a bit longer.”

It was rare to encounter an opponent with such exceptional adaptability, and I regretted not being able to test all my sword techniques before he fell.

-Are you actually human?

Wrath’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.

‘Why?’
-You’re just a celestial obsessed with martial arts!

Wrath clicked his tongue, saying that this being was far too different from the people he had encountered before.

‘Don’t insult me.’

I flicked Wrath’s forehead with a sharp tap. Now that I understood calling someone celestial wasn’t praise but rather a curse, I immediately punished him for it.

“Ugh….”
“Togui was defeated like that? So easily?”
“This doesn’t make sense. This is impossible!”
“Is that… the usurper Raon Zigheart…?”
“The rumors fell short. That’s just a monster!”

Togui’s subordinates broke into cold sweat as if trapped in a nightmare.

“Raon Zigheart….”
“They said he was nearly transcendent, and it’s true.”
“A formal knight like Togui was overwhelmed in swordsmanship….”
“I’ve never seen a sword path like that….”

The spectators still trapped in the arena gaped in astonishment.

“Phew.”

I exhaled a turbid breath. Facing the Grand Master Togui and Marang had consumed only a slight amount of my stamina.

‘I’ve grown stronger during my training with the Head of House.’

I had thought I hadn’t progressed, but it seemed I had actually improved considerably.

‘Not bad at all.’

I searched through Togui’s belongings and retrieved the sword manual and the necklace imbued with white mist—today’s trade goods.
The sword remained as well, though it seemed to still be left at the Observation Tower.

“The Holy Sword Scripture, then….”

Just as I was about to unfold the sword manual, a tremendous explosion erupted from the Observation Tower.

Boom!

Rimer and the White Ghost Sword Master. Their blade strikes collided, and dark lightning clouds bloomed in the empty air.

“Just die already! That side’s finished!”

Rimer furrowed the bridge of his nose as he brought down a sword strike wreathed in lightning.

“Shut up!”

The White Ghost Sword Master’s already pallid complexion grew even whiter as he extended his longsword.
Thanks to his long arms, his sword path bent in directions that defied imagination, targeting Rimer.
It was like watching a demonic swordsman moving freely through the void.

‘That grasshopper too….’

I watched the White Ghost Sword Master and smacked my lips slowly.

‘Now this would be worth fighting.’

I poured aura into my fading Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, then leaped up to the Observation Tower.

“Huh…?”
“Raon Zigheart?”

At my sudden appearance, both Rimer and the White Ghost Sword Master widened their eyes simultaneously.

“I’ll take it from here.”

I flicked my chin toward the White Ghost Sword Master.

“Hey! I’m bored too. You’re the only one who’s….”
“You lost the bet, didn’t you? I won’t take the 100 gold.”
“Deal!”

Rimer stepped back without the slightest hesitation. As expected, money came first for this elf.

-Tch….

Wrath twisted his lips as he glanced at me, excited by the new swordsmanship I’d displayed.

-If you’re going to do that, why didn’t you just fight that demon-wielding bastard instead of ambushing him?
‘He’s not a swordsman, after all.’
-You wouldn’t be thinking….

He thrust his face forward and tilted his head.

-You’re not planning to abandon Zigheart and join the Holy Sword Association, are you?
‘….’
