Chapter 768
I bit my lip as I aimed the Divine Sword at the Twin-Headed Demon.
‘Is it a child?’
The Twin-Headed Demon wasn’t just small in stature—its words and behavior carried such childlike innocence that it felt like observing a child. Yet its eyes gleamed with a damp, sinister malice that proved it was an Eden Ghost.
Yet, as if to prove he was one of Eden Ghosts, his pupils gleamed with damp malice.
“First, let’s calm down our excitement.”
A terrifying fighting spirit emanated from the Twin-Headed Demon. Sihan couldn’t shake the feeling that he couldn’t win in his current state, which meant this was an opponent he needed to face with full power from the start.
“I have to think about the Green-haired Queen and the Royal Capital.”
The Green-haired Queen, who had been pushed back, took up a fighting stance once more. Even though her strength had diminished somewhat, her fundamental combat power remained formidable, so Dun couldn’t afford to let his guard down.
However, Rimer didn’t worry about it because the Severed Soul Sword behind his back would protect him even at the cost of his life.
“For now, let me focus only on my own fight.”
Although Severed Soul Sword felt some discomfort and questions about Twin-Headed Demon and Green-haired Queen, now was the time to focus solely on battle.
If you let your guard down or become complacent, not only you but the entire Gwangpung Corps will be annihilated.
“You’re saying you’ll take on both of us by yourself?”
The Twin-Headed Demon let out a scornful laugh in a child’s voice.
“I was already a Grand Master when you were in Sylvia Zigheart’s womb?”
He tilted his chin as if to say the man was pathetic.
“So I’ve wasted over 20 years then.”
Raon looked down at the Twin-Headed Demon and twisted his lips into a sneer.
“While I grew stronger, you’ve been standing still. How exhausting that must have been.”
“I see the rumors about your loose tongue are true.”
The Twin-Headed Demon hunched over and let out a sinister chuckle.
“But today, that mouth of yours will be crushed!”
As he raised his hand, a colossal wooden club materialized from his small grip—far too massive for his frame.
“Raon, be careful! That wooden club won’t be cut by blades!”
Rimer offered the warning even as he struggled to parry the Severed Soul Sword’s relentless strikes.
“Organization Master, can you hold your ground?”
I exhaled steadily, watching Rimer get pushed back two steps.
“Who are you asking? Skeletons are nothing but food for an elf!”
Rimer shouted not to worry as he pointed his sword at the sky.
“Sword Realm Manifestation—Song of Wind and Lightning.”
His soul-infused incantation summoned emerald winds and crimson lightning.
Rummmmmble!
Between Rimer and the Severed Soul Sword, a tempest of thunder and lightning tore through heaven and earth.
Crackle!
Yet the Severed Soul Sword remained unfazed. With darkness pooling in the blade carved with skulls, he cleaved through the lightning and wind.
“…”
The Green-haired Queen’s gaze, which had been fixed on me with fury, shifted toward Rimer’s Sword Realm technique. Her crimson eyes glimmered faintly.
Her red eyes glimmered faintly.
“Where are you looking?”
The Twin-Headed Demon shrieked, bringing its wooden club crashing down. The colossal weapon fell without hesitation, as if it were nothing more than a slender twig.
“Hm….”
I watched the club descend toward my skull and clicked my tongue.
‘It won’t cut, he said.’
Rimer’s counsel was never wrong, so rather than attempting to sever it, I raised my Divine Sword with the resolve to block.
Crraaaaaash!
The club and Divine Sword collided head-on, and a violent shockwave erupted vertically from the impact.
The dense demonic energy pierced through my aura and seemed to embed itself in my bones. I could think of nothing but the word “strong.”
“Right. I need to hold this much at least.”
The Twin-Headed Demon chuckled and swung its wooden club horizontally. The shadow of the club came into view before the sound even reached my ears. The power and speed were extraordinary.
I blocked the club with the Flame Bead Wall I had manifested with my Demonic Sword, narrowing my eyes.
‘The power and speed are formidable, but….’
It’s simple.
The Twin-Headed Demon did not employ elaborate techniques or diverse martial arts. Instead, it relied on sheer force, speed, and the overwhelming volume of its demonic energy to apply pressure.
This differed greatly from Ettin’s cunning nature, which belied its massive frame.
‘I must not grow careless.’
The Twin-Headed Demon’s movements themselves could be a deception, so I considered multiple countermeasures before leaning my upper body forward and twisting the wrist holding my Divine Sword.
Whoooosh!
A vortex of flames erupted from the tip of my Divine Sword, surging outward and violently pushing back the Twin-Headed Demon’s wooden club.
“For one who inherited Ettin’s power, you’re surprisingly weak.”
I curled my lips as I looked down at the Twin-Headed Demon.
While my mind calculated countermeasures, I acted as though I were focused on simple combat, flicking my fingers.
“Why are you standing idle? Fight faster!”
The Twin-Headed Demon barked at the Green-haired Queen, who had been fixated on Rimer’s Sword Realm.
“….”
The Green-haired Queen shook her shoulders as if coming to her senses, then rushed toward me.
She gazed intently at the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, unfolding swordplay sharper than before.
“With numerical advantage, I don’t need to go all out!”
The Twin-Headed Demon swung its club down from behind the Green-haired Queen as though using her as a shield.
“Then I don’t need to fight head-on either.”
I couldn’t fall for his psychological warfare.
Whoooosh!
I deflected the Green-haired Queen’s sword strike while evading backward without blocking the Twin-Headed Demon’s club.
Screeeech!
The Green-haired Queen, visibly frustrated, accelerated her assault and thrust her blade forward.
Her gaze remained fixed not on me, but on the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword.
Booooom!
I deflected the Green-haired Queen’s slightly loosened strike while flowing away from the Twin-Headed Demon’s aura pressing in from behind.
My plan was to gradually deplete my strength this way, then seize the moment to ambush them.
“So that’s how you want to play it?”
The Twin-Headed Demon laughed as though I would regret it, resting its club on its shoulder.
“Then I’ll get dirty too!”
He didn’t target this direction—instead, he bolted toward the castle wall, clearly aiming for the Arian Family.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue sharply and stepped on Taehwa Stance. I caught up with the Twin-Headed Demon and extended the Divine Sword’s flames toward his neck.
“Just as expected!”
The Twin-Headed Demon sneered as if he’d anticipated this, swinging his wooden club down to shatter the flames.
Ching!
I didn’t panic as the Divine Sword was pushed back. Instead, I drew the Demonic Sword I’d been holding at an angle.
The silver blade scattered like the edge of an aurora, slicing cleanly across the Twin-Headed Demon’s shoulder. Blood streamed from the wound.
“I never thought a human could match me in raw strength.”
The Twin-Headed Demon let out a hollow laugh as he watched blood flow from his shoulder.
“Your bloodline is certainly formidable.”
He chuckled and shook his head.
-What nonsense are you spouting!
Wrath shrieked at the Twin-Headed Demon.
-It’s not bloodline—he stole the True Demon King’s power! Now I’m nothing but bones!
He flailed his hands wildly, insisting the creature acknowledge the truth.
“But you’re not unscathed either.”
The Twin-Headed Demon raised his chin as if he understood everything.
“….”
I didn’t respond, instead raising both the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword into position.
As he said, I held the advantage in strength and speed, but the monster’s durability was superior. I had to be careful not to sustain serious internal injuries.
“But….”
The Twin-Headed Demon turned back, smacking his lips.
“I don’t understand why she’s slacking off like that.”
He furrowed his brow as he watched the Green-haired Queen examining the Sword Realm of Raon and Rimer in turn.
“Hmm….”
I narrowed my eyes. Just as the Twin-Headed Demon said, the Green-haired Queen seemed to have become slightly strange ever since Rimer and I unfolded our Sword Realm.
“You can’t use it anyway! Stop watching and move!”
“….”
At the Twin-Headed Demon’s shout, the Green-haired Queen stomped the ground. She seemed to be on a leash held by the Twin-Headed Demon.
Shiiiing!
As the Green-haired Queen’s blade trembled faintly, twenty sword strikes rushed toward my vital points.
It was a mysterious swordsmanship that drew attention with deceptive and circular strikes, then finished with swift and severing blows.
Whoooosh!
The Twin-Headed Demon hid behind the Green-haired Queen once more to avoid counterattacks, driving his club downward. He was a despicably cowardly creature.
He was such a vile bastard that it made my stomach turn.
Kwaaaaa!
I wielded the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, executing Flame and Frost Perfection.
A blizzard descending from the heavens and a inferno rising from the earth connected in succession, incinerating all the auras of the Green-haired Queen and the Twin-Headed Demon.
“….”
The Green-haired Queen coughed blood despite her severe internal injuries, never ceasing her blade. She glared at the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword, unleashing a series of increasingly powerful sword strikes.
Claaaang!
I wielded the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword as if possessed, blocking all the offensives of both the Twin-Headed Demon and the Green-haired Queen.
‘Hold on.’
Facing the Twin-Headed Demon and the Green-haired Queen simultaneously was taking its toll—internal injuries accumulated with each exchange, but nothing I couldn’t endure.
If I seized the right moment and unleashed the Cerulean Crimson Undefeated Sword, I could neutralize both of them in one strike.
“Certainly….”
The Twin-Headed Demon, still gripping his wooden club, was driven backward, his brow furrowing.
“Strong indeed. I think it’s time to get a bit rougher.”
He flicked his finger toward the Green-haired Queen.
Uuuaaaaaahhh!
The moment the Green-haired Queen caught the Twin-Headed Demon’s signal, she threw her head back and unleashed a roar that shook the heavens.
Hearing her cry, the monsters surged forward toward the Arian Family Castle Wall as if possessed by madness.
Kuguguguguuu!
The special monsters that had been standing guard over the queen like her personal guard now leaped toward the castle wall, leaving her exposed behind them.
“Those are the queen’s elite guard. This time, holding them back won’t be easy.”
The Twin-Headed Demon slowly licked his lips, clearly trying to unsettle me.
“Your father and sister will have the Gwangpung Corps torn to shreds by the monsters, just like before.”
“That won’t happen.”
I shook my head without a trace of panic.
“What?”
“I didn’t raise my people to be that weak.”
The moment those words of faith in the Gwangpung Corps left my lips, the brown-skinned troll that had been the first to scale the castle wall came plummeting down—its arms and legs severed clean.
Kuuuuuuung!
As the troll’s massive corpse crashed down, five orcs beneath it were crushed flat, their bodies going limp.
“Don’t underestimate the Gwangpung Corps, you little brat.”
Martha stood atop the castle wall, sweeping back her silken black hair.
“It won’t be us getting torn apart—it’ll be you.”
She beckoned them forward with a flick of her fingers, inviting them to come as they pleased.
“It’s the Gwangpung Corps, not the Gwanggyeon Corps!”
Burren Zigheart shook his head as he wiped troll blood from his blade.
“But she wasn’t wrong about one thing. You’re the ones who’ll be torn apart.”
His gaze descended with the same cold, merciless light that burned in Karun’s eyes.
“Raon. We can hold this position.”
Lunan Slion froze the legs of the second Double-Headed Ogre King that had scaled the wall, raising his fist with determination.
“Stay strong.”
She swung her sword, signaling him to focus on the battle rather than worry about the castle wall.
“Um, um… shouldn’t we avoid provoking them further?”
Dorian trembled as he cut down orcs from behind the three unit leaders.
“Krahahahaha!”
Rimer laughed with delight despite being pushed back slightly by the Severed Soul Sword, clearly pleased by his disciples’ prowess.
“Is that so?”
Raon turned his back to the Arian Family, a faint smile playing across his lips.
“Then let’s do this instead.”
As the Twin-Headed Demon snapped his fingers, a crimson tide began surging from the Forest.
They were the Red Ghost Soldiers of Eden—faces concealed beneath white cloth, clad in scarlet martial robes.
“Losing troops is regrettable, but if I take you with me, it’s an absolute gain.”
He grinned, baring his teeth as if determined to see this through to the end.
‘That’s dangerous.’
A small number of helmeted specters moved among the Red Ghost Soldiers. If those creatures were added to the endless tide of monsters, even the Gwangpung Corps couldn’t hold the Castle Wall. I couldn’t let them through under any circumstances.
“Tch.”
I bit my lip and unleashed Hwaryeong and Jungjeonpo toward the Red Ghost Soldiers charging toward the Castle.
Screeeech!
But the Green-haired Queen and the Twin-Headed Demon erected a wall of aura, blocking the Red Ghost Soldiers from being stopped.
“Times have changed these days—persistence becomes tiresome.”
I pushed the Twin-Headed Demon back with the Divine Sword and pressed down the Green-haired Queen with the Demonic Sword, furrowing my brow.
“It’s fine. Eden has no such thing as sentiment anyway.”
The Twin-Headed Demon clung to Raon like a leech, as if to take him to Eden, applying strong pressure.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Unlike the monsters targeting the collapsed sections of the Castle Wall, the Red Ghost Soldiers moved toward gaps weakened by depleted personnel.
They broke through the Castle Wall in a sudden, coordinated assault.
Screeeech!
Just as the Red Ghost Soldiers leaped down into the Castle, targeting soldiers and Rangers—
Screeeech!
Two torrents of aura erupted from within the Castle, shredding all the Red Ghost Soldiers and monsters that had entered.
Blood and screams erupted as two female swordmasters ascended the now-silent castle wall.
They were Serena, the Organization Master sent from Zigheart, and Sylvia, the master of the Annex Building.
“Huh, Mom?”
I widened my eyes. I had heard that reinforcements were coming, but I never imagined it would be Sylvia—the word escaped my lips before I could stop it.
“Why are you here…?”
“I told you.”
Sylvia sliced down a troll climbing the castle wall and winked.
“What I need to protect isn’t just the Annex Building—it includes you too.”
She waved her hand, indicating she had come of her own volition.
“Leave the castle wall to us.”
Serena nodded gravely, as if to say there was nothing to worry about.
Shing!
The Severed Soul Sword had been pressing Rimer relentlessly, but the moment Sylvia appeared, it suddenly stopped and took a deep cut across its waist.
“What are you doing?”
Rimer had struck the Severed Soul Sword, but unable to discern its intentions, he kept his blade lowered and furrowed his brow.
“But this place….”
Sylvia lowered her gaze to survey the battlefield. She examined the frozen Severed Soul Sword and the dazed Green-haired Queen, then her jaw trembled as she spotted the Twin-Headed Demon.
“You….”
“I thought you’d escape while unconscious and never remember….”
The Twin-Headed Demon drew an elongated smile as if things had actually worked out better.
“You do remember me, don’t you?”
He mocked Sylvia as she breathed heavily, wagging his finger at her.
“Twin-Headed Demon!”
Sylvia leaped from the castle wall as if reason had abandoned her, charging down onto the plains.
She unleashed the radiant light of Hwigwangryu toward the Twin-Headed Demon, seeing nothing else.
“If I kill you and Raon, does that mean I’ve annihilated an entire family?”
The Twin-Headed Demon smiled wickedly and brought his wooden club crashing down toward Sylvia. His fighting spirit was sharper and more ferocious than before—he had been holding back until now.
‘Damn it!’
I rushed to Sylvia’s right side and unleashed the Flame Dragon Technique.
Even if she was a Grand Master, she wouldn’t last five exchanges against the Twin-Headed Demon. I had to block at all costs.
Crash!
The Twin-Headed Demon blocked only the Flame Dragon Technique as if he’d expected it, then retreated. He was completely ignoring Sylvia.
“Argh!”
Sylvia screamed in even greater fury, charging at the Twin-Headed Demon.
“Stop!”
I grabbed Sylvia and held her back, shouting desperately.
“If you don’t regain control, Mother will really die!”
“Ugh….”
Even hearing my cry, Sylvia couldn’t regain her composure—her arms and legs trembled uncontrollably.
-Your mother’s emotions are consumed by rage, boy.
Wrath clenched his teeth, his face flushed red.
-It rivals the fury from when you summoned the True Demon King….
He hadn’t realized she harbored such profound sorrow and resentment, and he exhaled a deep sigh.
“Let’s fight together. We can win.”
Raon grasped Sylvia’s hand firmly. He wanted to tell her to retreat, but through this battle, he hoped to help her overcome her trauma.
“I’m sorry….”
Sylvia nodded heavily, her sanity gradually returning.
“Can we win? And even if we do, would that truly be victory?”
The Twin-Headed Demon made an incomprehensible sound and curled its lips upward. Since it relentlessly employed psychological warfare, I ignored it and waved my hand dismissively.
Kukugugugu!
Raon squeezed Sylvia’s hand once more and raised the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword.
He deployed Sword Sky Great Flame with the Divine Sword and unleashed Midheaven Cannon with the Demonic Sword.
Uuuuuung!
Sylvia read Raon’s gaze and immediately activated Hwigwangryu, radiating formidable light.
Kukugugugu!
Successive sword strikes extended outward, pushing back the Twin-Headed Demon’s club and leaving a deep gash on its left thigh.
“Kuh, quite strong, but….”
The Twin-Headed Demon was relentlessly driven backward and called upon the Green-haired Queen.
Kuuuung!
The Green-haired Queen swiftly moved behind it to provide support.
In that instant, Raon’s eyes gleamed. This was the opportunity to neutralize both of them simultaneously.
Uuuuuung!
I advanced toward the Titan’s aura, crossing the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword. Sunlight and moonlight seeped through the blades, igniting a magnificent radiance.
Divine-Demonic Harmony Technique—Linked Skill.
Azure-Crimson Undefeated Sword.
A tremendous force capable of shattering the blades themselves surged forth, crashing down upon the Twin-Headed Demon’s club.
Craaack!
Watching the creature’s club tremble as if it might shatter, I stepped forward once more, and Sylvia amplified the Hwigwangryu’s aura.
Zzzzzt!
The Twin-Headed Demon rotated the aura surrounding its club, diminishing the Azure-Crimson Undefeated Sword’s power. It was a movement befitting a demon with countless battles etched into its experience.
‘It won’t matter.’
I bit my lip and concentrated all my strength into my grip.
‘I’ll cut it down here.’
To ensure a decisive end, I rotated the blade’s tip. Flames and frost spiraled in the same direction as the Twin-Headed Demon’s aura, beginning to cleave through its power.
‘It’s over.’
It was the moment I unleashed the full force of the Divine Sword and Demonic Sword to sever the Twin-Headed Demon’s neck.
“…Heh, Sword Realm Manifestation.”
The Green-haired Queen’s lips moved, and from her sword technique, a pitch-black darkness tinged with despair erupted forth.
“What…?”
I trembled as I witnessed the darkness pushing back the Azure-Crimson Undefeated Sword.
‘Sword Realm Manifestation?’
Though far cruder than the incomplete Sword Realm Manifestation I had once wielded, the sword technique the Green-haired Queen displayed unmistakably followed the flow of Sword Realm Manifestation.
“The… Sword Realm?”
Sylvia trembled as she gripped her sword, recognizing the presence of the Sword Realm.
I felt a wave of unease and doubt rise within my chest as I observed the darkness summoned by the Green-haired Queen.
‘Could it be…’
