Myst, Might, Mayhem

Chapter 407 – Heavenly Demon (4)

Chwa chwa chwa chwa chwa chwa chwa!

-Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

As the black streaks of Ejected Sword Energy rained down like a downpour, all directions were dyed in pandemonium.

The eyes of those kneeling widened.

They couldn’t help but be shocked by the Ejected Sword Energies flying ingeniously towards the Society members on Na Yul-ryang’s side, excluding themselves.

-Wudeuk! Wudeuk!

Mok Gyeong-un’s forehead and around his eyes were covered in fine blood vessels, and his golden-dyed pupils were vibrating tremendously in an instant.

There’s a limit to the visual information that normal human eyes can process in an instant.

Humans are designed to accept only what their thoughts and mental power can endure, but Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes had evolved once again after absorbing Na Yul-ryang’s demonic eye.

The demonic power of the three eyes, the spirit eye, and the unknown power of Na Yul-ryang’s eye harmonized ingeniously, elevating his eye power to an even higher dimension.

-Flutter!

Through the spirit eye, he grasped the flow of all energies, achieving accurate spatial perception. The demonic power of the three eyes played the role of calculating and distinguishing these energies. The eye power absorbed from Na Yul-ryang supported this enormous amount of information, combining spatial perception and calculation ability.

Of course, what’s amazing here is that even though the eye power supports it, it’s naturally the brain and mental power that sustain this.

-Wudeuk wudeuk!

Mok Gyeong-un’s mental power, which was enduring an enormous amount of information that would have caused a normal person’s brain to overload and burst, had already surpassed human limits.

-Chwa chwa chwa chwa chwa!

“Kek!”

“Keuk!”

This precise targeted Ejected Sword Energy that Mok Gyeong-un was unleashing rapidly erased the lives of Society members supporting Na Yul-ryang’s side by sniping their vital points.

The speed was beyond imagination.

In just a count of ten, hundreds of lives were lost.

‘Th-This isn’t human.’

‘How can this be?’

‘S-Save me.’

The Society members were helpless against the black streaks of Ejected Sword Energy targeting them, and this was instantly covering the venue in terror.

“Kyaak!”

-Cha cha cha cha chang!

‘Damn it!’

Young Master Na Yul-ryang was blocking the continuously striking Ejected Sword Energies.

He had no choice but to devote all his efforts to protecting his loyal subordinate Mo Yak and himself, let alone counterattacking.

-Chang!

Every time he struck down the black sword energy, it felt like his palm gripping the sword was being torn.

No, it was already torn and stained with blood.

Even he, who had reached the extreme of the Transformation Realm, was barely managing to block this, so the outcome for others was obvious without looking.

Just hearing the numerous blood splatters and screams of pandemonium around, this place was hell itself.

‘Endure…… I must endure.’

Na Yul-ryang gritted his teeth as he blocked the Ejected Sword Energies while embracing Mo Yak.

No matter how much of a monster that guy is, it’s truly impossible to maintain such an incredible technique for long.

Unless his mental power and internal energy have reached the realm of the divine and are unlimited, there will surely be a limit.

If he can just endure until then, surely an opportunity will……

‘No!’

This wasn’t a situation to wait helplessly for that opportunity while being overwhelmed.

At that moment, Na Yul-ryang, who had thought of a brilliant plan, shouted.

“Charge forward!”

‘!?’

At Na Yul-ryang’s shout, the Society members under him couldn’t help but be puzzled for a moment.

They were already struggling to block or dodge these Ejected Sword Energies, so what nonsense was this to charge forward in this situation?

However, they soon understood Na Yul-ryang’s true intention.

‘Ah!’

That’s right.

Although that monstrous guy was targeting those who hadn’t knelt, he was achieving this with almost no damage because there were no allies around them.

However, the moment they engage in battle and get entangled, the situation will become more complex.

“The Young Master’s words are right!”

“Attack them!”

Even now, dividing attacks between those who have submitted and those who haven’t must be causing severe mental consumption and overload on the brain and eye power, but what if it goes beyond that?

It will become so difficult that such classification will become meaningless.

If he fails even once, even allies will be harmed, and if that happens, he won’t be able to continue this mad act any longer……

-Kwang! Chwaaaak!

“Keuak!”

“Kek!”

“That’s assuming you can break through us.”

Ho Tae-gang, the Axe-Destroying King, swung his massive axe infused with strong energy, splitting the heads and bodies of eight people in one stroke.

Faced with his rough momentum, the branch head-level masters from Na Yul-ryang’s side who had tried to break through couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

If it were just him, a gap might have formed somehow, but,

-Sss sss sss sss sss!

“Heh heh heh. If you can, try to get past this old man.”

With Baek Sa-ha, the Annihilating Poison King, blocking the front while spraying dense poison energy with both hands, along with top-tier masters from the Society like Shadow Clan Master Hwan Ya-seon, Corpse Blood Valley Master Lee Ji-yeom, and the second young master Jang Neung-ak, it was difficult to break through and induce a melee.

Moreover,

-Pa pa pa pa pa pak!

The intervention of other top-tier masters who had appeared from somewhere made it even more so.

“Kwa ha ha ha ha ha! To think so many have gathered here! Who will entertain this monk a bit more?”

“M-Mad monk? How is this crazy monk here?”

With the addition of Ja Geum-jeong, the fallen monk, and,

-Pa pa pa pa pa pak!

Ma Ra-hyeon in a mask, who was sweeping through the enemies with storm-like lightness techniques as if the wind god was enraged, even fewer gaps were forming.

‘Damn it!’

‘Where did these monsters come from?’

As things weren’t going as intended, the executives and Society members on Na Yul-ryang’s side couldn’t help but become increasingly anxious.

-Cha cha cha cha cha chang!

‘!?’

Na Yul-ryang’s eyes narrowed as he blocked the Ejected Sword Energies.

He felt the energy of the Ejected Sword Energies striking around gradually diminishing.

He wondered if it was because too many lives had been lost.

But then,

“Hiiik!”

-Thud! Thud!

People kneeling were seen here and there.

They were all trembling, pale-faced, and terrified.

Seeing this, Na Yul-ryang could understand.

‘……Oh no.’

While many were dying from the Ejected Sword Energies, just as many were submitting, unable to overcome their fear.

At first, it was almost proportional, but increasingly it wasn’t.

If they could do something, there might be a chance for a reversal to revive morale, but those who were helplessly overwhelmed by the continuously striking Ejected Sword Energies had no choice but to mentally submit.

-Kwajik! Kwang! Kwang!

Those who didn’t submit had their vital points or bodies cut by the Ejected Sword Energies, or simply lost their lives.

In this situation, it was impossible not to be afraid.

The overwhelmingly strong power and cruel results completely destroyed their fighting spirit.

-Euddeuk!

Is this how we lose?

Na Yul-ryang, gritting his teeth, felt his chest growing hotter and hotter.

It was a strange emotion he had never felt before.

‘Why? Why?’

That monster was killing so many Society members, saying he would erase the Heaven and Earth Society from the world, yet the Society Leader, who could be called the owner of the Society, still hadn’t stepped forward.

He’s the one who even feigned illness for over ten years to find hidden traitors.

So why can he just observe even in this life-or-death moment?

Society Leader, no, Master, what are you thinking……

-Chaaaaaang!

It was at that very moment.

Along with a loud metallic sound that seemed to tear eardrums, an enormous sound of air being split rang out, causing tremendous air pressure in the surroundings.

-Paaaaaang!

Simultaneously, that guy’s indiscriminate Ejected Sword Energies that had been raining down until now finally stopped.

Wondering what had happened, they saw the sight of Mok Gyeong-un and the Heaven and Earth Society Leader clashing swords in mid-air.

“Waaaaaaaaah!!!!!”

The moment they saw this sight, the Society members all shouted in unison.

It was truly strange.

In fact, regardless of the reason, many had lost their lives due to his observation.

If he, the supreme master, had stepped forward earlier, the situation might have been different.

Yet, the Society members weren’t angry.

Rather, when the Society Leader, the owner of the Society and one of the Six Heavens, stepped forward, their morale explosively increased.

“It’s the Society Leader!”

“The Society Leader has stepped forward!”

It was as if a savior had appeared.

This was a strange phenomenon that even Na Yul-ryang, his disciple, couldn’t understand.

‘Why?’

Aren’t they angry that the Society Leader didn’t step forward earlier?

Or is it because his weight as the leader or as a great master is so absolute?

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter.

Even he felt that feeling disappear at some point.

-Gulp!

Na Yul-ryang too swallowed dry saliva and watched the two with tense eyes.

It was the moment when two peerless masters at the level of great masters, who had received the title of Heaven, called the peak of the martial arts world, clashed.

The future of the Society would be decided by this confrontation.

In other words, only the Society Leader could be the sole savior.

-Woooong!

The demonic sword Evil Commandment Sword and the Society Leader’s treasured sword Predestination[1] clashed, ringing out sword cries.

Mok Gyeong-un, who had blocked the hegemonic sword strike the Society Leader had launched after jumping down from the main platform, smirked and opened his mouth.

“I thought you’d keep observing.”

At these words, the Society Leader’s eyes narrowed.

It was because Mok Gyeong-un’s martial prowess completely surpassed his predictions.

He had thought some sacrifice was unavoidable to give the Earth Vein a chance and to resolve the grudge of the spirit, but if he had observed any longer, thousands, no, tens of thousands would have lost their lives.

That’s why he finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward.

“Will your grudge only be resolved after killing everyone? Spirit.”

“Spirit?”

Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes glinted.

When they first met, he had appeared to be suffering from illness, but when they met again, he realized this was all a scheme and that he was no ordinary person.

But now he called him a spirit.

It seemed he knew something.

‘……Heart.’

No, maybe it was natural for him to know.

Unlike his disciples, the Society Leader was a descendant who had inherited the blood of Bi Yeong-hon of the Heaven Vein, whom Cheong-ryeong had mentioned.

He might also know the secret of the secret manual made from Cheong-ryeong’s heart from when she was alive, which had contained her vengeful spirit for a long time.

If so,

-Chang!

Mok Gyeong-un immediately deflected the Society Leader’s treasured sword Predestination with counter-force.

The Society Leader’s eyes glinted as his body was pushed upwards.

‘He still has this much internal energy left?’

The Society Leader had thought Mok Gyeong-un had consumed almost all of his true energy firing those many Ejected Sword Energies.

Yet he not only blocked his sword strike but even deflected him upwards.

He couldn’t help but genuinely stick out his tongue in amazement.

However, this power probably,

‘Stems to some extent from a power beyond human?’

-Pang!

At this, the Society Leader stomped the air, using the Void Stepping technique to stop his rising body.

‘I need to subdue him first.’

After stopping his body like that, the Society Leader immediately took a sword stance with his right hand while grasping his sword with his left hand.

Then, around him,

-Cha cha cha cha cha cha cha chang!

Suddenly, about twelve swords flew in and formed a sword formation in mid-air along with Sword Riding Energies.

The Society Leader, surrounded by Sword Riding Energies like spreading wings, aimed at Mok Gyeong-un and said,

“Spirit. Let me show you that I too can handle Sword Riding Energies in this way, though not as much as you.”

Heaven Vein Sword Technique

Attack and Defense as One, Sword Riding Energy Twelve Sword Heaven Formation.

‘Here it comes!’

Vice Society Leader Mong So-cheon and some executives recognized the Society Leader’s secret technique.

Originally called the Eight Sword Heaven Formation, it uses eight Sword Riding Energies to perform a nearly perfect technique with no gaps in both offense and defense.

They had seen the Society Leader defeat numerous opponents with this during his heyday.

‘As expected, he’s gotten even stronger.’

Ho Tae-gang, the Axe-Destroying King, also recognized this and clicked his tongue.

What illness?

Even with just eight swords, he had almost no match, but the fact that he had increased it to twelve swords in over ten years meant he hadn’t neglected training even in his mind.

Baek Sa-ha, the Annihilating Poison King, also couldn’t take his eyes off it.

‘A sword formation of Sword Riding Energies for attack and defense as one, composed of twelve swords.’

He must have filled all the empty directions.

It must be even more perfect than before and without gaps, so its power must be incomparable.

On the other hand, Mok Gyeong-un is currently in a state of high internal energy consumption and mental exhaustion.

It could be dangerous if he let his guard down.

‘Could this be what he was aiming for?’

If their capabilities are similar, in the end, the one in the best condition will decide the outcome.

In that respect, Mok Gyeong-un, who had been firing Sword Riding Ejected Sword Energies non-stop until just now, could be said to be at a disadvantage.

Even if this was intentional, it wasn’t a situation where he could be blamed.

Mok Gyeong-un had declared war on the Heaven and Earth Society itself.

He wasn’t in a position to complain about fairness or express dissatisfaction no matter what strategy was taken.

That’s why the Heaven and Earth Society Leader might be hurrying to use his full power.

“This is the maximum power I can show from now on. Your true energy consumption must have been great, so spirit, you too should use your full power……”

“You’ll regret it.”

“What?”

-Woooong!

It was before those words could even finish.

Energies began to condense into sharp forms around Mok Gyeong-un.

Seeing this sight, the Society Leader’s eyes, who had intended to settle the match in one go with full power from the start, gradually widened.

That thing forming even energy into the shape of swords was clearly,

‘No way?’

Three ethereal swords made of utterly transparent energy forming around Mok Gyeong-un.

‘!!!!!!!’

They were undoubtedly Invisible Swords.

The Society Leader, who had merely thought he had some superhuman power added due to being possessed by a spirit, was genuinely shocked.

The being before his eyes.

He had reached the Life and Death Realm, surpassing even the Profound Realm which could be called the supreme state.
