Nest of the Birds (7)
A savage and violent sword path.
But Kim Jun liked it.
Whoosh-
Kim Jun also.
Whooooooosh-!!
Preferred that kind of combat style.
“Shouldn’t we… wrap this up soon?”
Should he speak casually or formally?
Since it was just a thought, would casual speech be fine?
But since it was part of Kaiser, should he speak formally?
In any case.
Kim Jun wanted to end this soon.
‘I’m worried about the kids too.’
Above, his companions would be fighting the Jujak.
Ryu Ji-a, Han Su-in, Lee Seo-yeon. He didn’t know how long they could hold out.
He didn’t think they’d lose… but it was still no easy opponent.
Most importantly, the second seal of “Kaiser’s Legacy”.
Whatever skill it was, he wanted to obtain it as soon as possible.
The moment he had that thought.
Nod-
“…!”
Kaiser’s Doppelganger nodded its head.
It definitely nodded.
As if it understood Kim Jun’s thoughts.
He had thought the Doppelganger was just a simple thought.
But it responded to Kim Jun’s words.
And then.
Blaze-!
The Doppelganger’s body began to burn.
Raising its sword high.
—-, —
It began to chant something.
As if offering a prayer to the gods.
Then.
Whoooosh-!
The Doppelganger’s appearance completely changed.
The sword disappeared.
As if it had been consumed by fire.
But that wasn’t the end.
Something was still in its hands.
Fire.
That blazing fire was taking the form of a sword.
The physical sword had vanished, but fire took its place.
As if the fire itself had become a sword.
As if the flames had become a blade.
Its entire body was engulfed in flames.
But those flames were uncontrolled.
Fire that twisted, writhed, and exploded irregularly.
As if it embodied madness itself.
The surrounding air trembled as if screaming from the heat.
Space itself began to melt.
The earth burned, and the walls melted away.
Step-
With just one step forward.
Where that foot touched melted and burst into flames.
“Hah.”
It was certain.
That form was definitely the first seal of “Kaiser’s Legacy”.
“Flame Emperor”.
In that case.
“Kaiser’s Legacy-“
Kim Jun also.
“-Flame Emperor.”
Had no choice but to meet it with the same technique.
Thud-
Soon the two “Flame Emperors” glared at each other like growling beasts.
Fire faced fire.
Step-
They stepped forward.
They swung their swords.
It was a simple motion.
From Park Min-soo’s distant perspective, it looked like they were just playing around with such simple movements.
Flicking a wrist, taking a step.
But the result it brought was.
BOOOOOOM-!!!
An explosion that seemed to swallow the entire cave.
Fire scattered in all directions.
Without rules. Chaotically. As if madness had taken physical form.
Park Min-soo had to cover his eyes with his hands.
He couldn’t see at all how the two were fighting within that explosion.
Only flames soared, sound waves echoed, and occasionally two silhouettes flickered within.
Like chaos itself.
Just like powerful bulls butting heads in a contest of strength.
It looked like they were just wildly releasing energy.
However.
At the center of that storm.
Kim Jun and Kaiser’s Doppelganger were.
Clang-
Clang-
Claang-!
Crossing swords.
Precisely.
Perfectly.
Even in the middle of the explosion, they didn’t miss each other’s swords.
With each collision, new energy burst forth, but it wasn’t random.
Even within the irregular sword path.
Clang-clang-clang-
Like predetermined music.
Like destined harmony.
An explosion caused by a single collision.
Within that explosion, raising the sword again.
Adjusting the distance again.
Forming another exchange again.
Boom-!
Another explosion.
But even that seemed planned.
When Kim Jun’s sword came down from above, the Doppelganger’s sword precisely met it from below.
The energy bursting from that collision, its direction, its intensity.
Everything felt predetermined.
As if the two beings were performing something decided long ago in harmony.
As if they were collaborators rather than enemies.
But they were definitely fighting.
Because swords don’t lie.
The killing intent contained in each collision was real, and the movements to avoid it were sincere.
But what the sum of that sincerity created was not any coincidence, but a single order.
Clang-!
Scrape-
Continuous exchanges.
The two swords meet and scatter, meet and scatter again.
Each time that process repeats.
New fire erupts.
New sound waves ring out.
New light blooms.
“Damn it.”
To Park Min-soo’s eyes, it still looked chaotic.
It definitely did.
Chaotic, uncontrolled power from two beings bursting out in all directions.
Like chaos itself. Like the world was breaking apart.
In unpredictable patterns, that kind of madness where you couldn’t tell when or where it would explode.
But.
Like several different instruments continuing their harmony to create a single orchestra.
In the midst of that rampaging power.
In the midst of that irregular melody.
The two swords meet precisely.
The two instruments cross precisely.
Claaang-!
New energy bursts out with each collision, but even that seemed predetermined.
The movements of two swords trying to kill each other.
Eventually form a single musical piece.
Hostility and harmony.
Death and life.
Those two contradictory things.
In the place where they exist simultaneously.
The two continue to dance.
Kaiser’s Doppelganger holding fire instead of a rusty sword.
Kim Jun holding the same fire instead of 「Dragon Eater」.
Whoooosh-!!
Whoooosh-!!
As if each other’s fire was stronger.
Red fire devours black fire.
Like a predator swallowing its prey.
Fire wraps around fire. Coils around it. Tries to dominate it.
But the next moment.
Black fire explodes from within the red fire.
Boom-!
It bursts out from inside.
Like trapped madness being liberated.
Hurling away the red fire.
Black fire rises.
Now black fire devours red fire.
Wraps around it. Constricts it. Melts it.
Burns its surface.
Tears apart its form.
But red fire resists.
It doesn’t retreat.
Only in one way.
It becomes stronger.
It becomes hotter.
It burns more madly.
Whoooosh-!!!
Red fire’s counterattack.
This time it devours the black fire.
No, it tries to imprison it.
As if creating a prison.
Walls of fire are erected.
Traps of fire are created.
But black fire doesn’t flee.
Rather, it burns more fiercely within that prison.
Resists intensely.
Tries to break down the walls.
Rumble-
Rumble-
Rumble-!
The prison shakes.
The walls crack.
Finally the prison explodes.
Both fires explode simultaneously.
Like two suns colliding.
Like a star dying.
Black fire and red fire mix together.
To the point where you can’t tell which is which.
But at the same time.
They fight while maintaining their respective colors.
Trying to melt each other.
Trying to devour each other.
Trying to burn each other away.
In that process.
A new colored flame blooms.
Black and red mix together.
Becoming purple.
That purple flame creates yet another explosion.
Whoooooosh-!!!
The flames devour the space.
To the point where you can no longer see what’s happening inside.
Only fire is visible.
Only heat can be felt.
Kim Jun’s flames, fused with demon and fire.
Kaiser’s flames, having reached the pure pinnacle of fire.
“Got any popcorn?”
A sudden voice reached Park Min-soo’s ears.
It was Andras.
He had walked out from Kim Jun’s shadow on his own.
“What, Andras! When did you come out?”
Park Min-soo shouted in surprise.
“I couldn’t miss watching my master fight at such a level, could I?”
Andras replied.
And as if that wasn’t enough.
“….”
Belphegor also appeared.
Even that lazy demon had emerged from the shadows on his own.
Because he couldn’t miss this spectacle.
No, because he couldn’t miss it.
It wasn’t a matter of could or couldn’t do.
It was impossible not to.
The collision of two beings who had reached a certain level.
This beauty created by two different fires.
For Belphegor, turning away from it.
Would be like committing a sin.
“Kim Jun…”
With just that name alone.
Belphegor’s heart began to fill up.
Boooooom-!
Crackle-crackle-boom-!
At this, Belphegor cried out.
Entranced by the sight of Kim Jun, who had become his master.
“Wo, worship him…”
A voice came out.
As if he couldn’t control himself.
“Why is he acting like that?”
“Can you not understand? Human?”
Andras replied to Park Min-soo as if he found it strange instead.
“Worship him! Wo, worship him!”
Belphegor’s voice grew louder.
His body trembled more violently.
As if ecstasy was dominating him.
“Worship him! Behold him!”
The shouting grew louder.
“Worship him! Behold him! Face him!”
At that moment, Belphegor’s eyes lit up.
As if some memory had been summoned.
That fire that had existed since primordial times.
That abyssal flame he had seen in the deepest part of Hell.
It was inside Kim Jun.
That pure, frenzied, irresistible flame.
“Worship him! Behold him! Face him! Wahahahaha!”
Belphegor shouted like that.
With madness he could no longer control.
With passion he could no longer contain.
Laughter burst forth.
Insane laughter.
That kind of laughter mixed with madness and awe.
Belphegor’s body swayed.
As if enchanted.
As if bewitched by those flames.
Spreading both arms wide.
Toward the sky.
Toward those flames.
He lifted his face up.
Tears were flowing.
Those kinds of tears where you couldn’t tell if it was joy or sorrow.
His mouth was split open to his ears.
As if he had met the messiah.
As if he had witnessed divinity itself.
“As expected, all demons are perverts.”
Park Min-soo couldn’t understand such a Belphegor, but.
“Kehehehe.”
“? Why are you acting like that too?”
Since Andras was also a demon.
“Kehehehehe.”
He could understand why Belphegor was laughing like that.
That was because.
“Worship him! Worship him! Wahahahaha!”
“Worship him! Kehehehehe!!”
“Ar, aren’t you guys crazy?”
Kim Jun’s current appearance.
For eons of time.
In the depths of Hell, all demons had been waiting for.
It was the cry announcing the birth of such an existence.
And as if responding to such enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Kaiser’s Doppelganger moved.
Emanating something.
「Kaiser’s Legacy」, 2nd Seal.
“…!”
「Fire Blade」.
A being whose status had already risen through 「Yeonje」.
No longer needed skills.
Because he was a being who could make everything explode with just a gesture.
But to such a being.
Tzzzzzzz-
A massive sword appears.
A great sword of fire, far larger than his own divine form.
Larger than the ceiling that had risen so high.
So large it seemed it could tear heaven and earth apart like cutting paper.
That sword had already pierced through the cave and soared up to the entrance of the dungeon.
And it.
Sssss-
Begins to descend.
Toward Kim Jun.
With tremendous weight.
With the resonance of space itself.
Ssssssss-
The air tears apart from that sound alone.
But Kim Jun did not retreat.
Rather, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
“「Dark Emperor」.”
Kim Jun speaks quietly.
Once again, he elevates his level.
As if showing courtesy to an opponent giving their all.
He resolves to give his all as well.
He gathers all his strength into one place.
Black flames and red flames mix.
Taking the form of yet another color.
The massive great sword of fire descends toward Kim Jun.
Kim Jun too stakes everything on this single strike.
“I have learned well from you.”
As those words end.
──────!
Collision.
Tremendous dust clouds obscured their vision.
But the moment that dust rises into the air.
Whoosh-
The dirt, the air, everything is forcibly ignited into flames in an instant.
“What’s happening?”
“Bow down! Bow down!”
“Behold! Behold! Kihihihihi!”
The stunned Park Min-soo and the two cult followers.
And.
The two beings within the cleared dust appeared as distorted images, refracted by the heat.
Kaiser’s Doppelganger was smiling brightly.
Very brightly.
As if he had met the opponent he had long desired, no, the right person.
–, —.
He opened his mouth, saying something.
And Kim Jun too.
Smiling brightly.
“I understand.”
Nodded his head.
As if agreeing with those words.
As if understanding had passed between those walking the same path.
Between the two beings.
There was no longer any distinction between enemy and ally.
Only the respect of those who pursue the same thing.
[Emergency Quest Complete!]
[Reward: 「Kaiser’s Legacy」 2nd Seal 「Fire Blade」 acquired!]
“What about me?”
“You got experience points, didn’t you.”
“Tch.”
It was time to go back up.
