145:
A proxy war between the Nightmare Lord and the Shadow Lord for the seat of the Grand Empress.
The Demon God of the Sword entered the war as a knight of nightmares, and the King of Heroes repaired his sword to fight against him.
A sword imbued with the bitter cold of a winter night.
“All my life… I have longed for a strong person who could take me down.”
Cheonma spoke as he adjusted the hilt of the Dokgogu sword.
“Aren’t there some monarchs out there who have nothing to do?”
Yooseong asked back sarcastically, and Cheonma asked back.
“Maybe so.”
At the same time, the Heavenly Demon’s sword was swung. It was a single sword
(—劍) and the last sword of the Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon.
Whoa!
The entire landscape was distorted and everything in front of his sword became meaningless and began to crumble.
Absolute meaninglessness.
Nothing could have meaning in front of the Heavenly Demon’s sword. It should have been so.
Kaang!
However, the sword of the winter night in Yooseong’s hand made an improbable clanging sound against the sword of nothingness.
At the same time, the scenery of the area began to overlap with the two swords clashing together.
Starting from the feet of the Heavenly Demon, an empty wasteland spread out. It was a completely empty wasteland with nothing beyond the horizon.
And a bitter cold wave spread behind Yoosung’s back.
It was a cold, dark winter night.
Nothing could have meaning before the sword of the Heavenly Demon, the absolute meaningless being. However, the sword of the winter night that stood against him had no meaning.
What stood against the sword of emptiness was just as much emptiness.
“It is truly a fleeting sword.”
“Hmm, do you really think so?”
Yusung calmly asked back at Cheonma’s words.
“The moment it collides with the old man’s sword, it has a priceless meaning that cannot be compared to anything else.”
“You don’t even know what power you hold in your hands and wield.”
Cheonma coldly sneered at Yooseong’s words.
“Isn’t it cold?”
After mocking him, he asked back.
“Do you think it’s worth sacrificing yourself that much to get that bitter cold?”
“No, who got it because they wanted it? I gave it to the Frost Lord because he was willing to give it to me. “I even lost 10 billion won in achievement points.”
“It is the result of your karma.”
“I see that your tongue is getting longer. Are you feeling lazy?”
Yooseong sneered again and Cheonma remained silent.
Taaat!
The Heavenly Demon rushed in again. Ilchosik Island of the Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon*. And then the annihilation of Lee Cho-sik
followed, and the final sword was swung.
Kaang!
And the Dokgo Nine Swords in the hand of the Heavenly Demon created eight shadow swordsmen along with the Heavenly Demon and came flooding in.
Hits 9 times in 1 attack. And what resides in each and every one of them is, without a doubt, a sword demon.
That’s why Yooseong also swung the sword of winter night to block it.
And every time he blocked the nothingness with the nothingness…
the bitter cold contained in the sword of the winter night began to devour Yooseong’s heart.
—It was cold.
Only then did he realize how absurd power he wielded.
My blood was freezing and the biting cold was tearing my heart apart.
Therefore, paradoxically, every time he clashed with the Heavenly Demon’s sword, Yooseong realized that he was being swallowed up by the ‘coldness of the winter night’.
………
There is no such thing as power without cost. And the one in front of Yooseong is the Absolute Sword of Meaninglessness and the Heavenly Demon.
At the same time, even while fighting against him, the ability of the title “Monarch Assassin” did not activate. Because it is not a dethroned monarch.
“He who fights monsters must be careful not to become a monster himself during the fight.”
The Heavenly Demon said, swinging his sword.
Kaang!
His sword swung and he was able to block. It was no longer an overwhelming wall or anything that the Heavenly Demon there could not overcome.
In front of the Heavenly Demon’s sword, Yoo Seong’s sword was never meaningless.
At the same time, it was meaningless.
Every time he swung the sword forged with the cold of the apocalypse, the cold seeped into his bones and engulfed him.
The warmth he remembered, the things he had to protect, the emotions he was supposed to feel as a person were ‘frozen’. “But
you can’t defeat a monster without becoming one .
“Isn’t it funny?”
“Nevertheless, there are those who are willing to give up humanity for humanity and call themselves monsters.”
The Heavenly Demon continued speaking calmly while swinging his sword. However, Yooseong was in no hurry to even block his sword.
“That’s how a hero is finally born.”
“Isn’t that so, King of Heroes?” It should have been so.
“Because we gave up humans for humans, and because we gave up humans, the reason for loving humans disappears. And the hero becomes a monster, and shameless humans once again long for a hero who will ‘give up humanity’ for them. In this way, a hero is born again, becomes a monster, and once again longs for a hero to defeat the monster…
becomes a monster again, and a hero is born, and becomes a monster, and a hero is born….
The words of the Cheonma, speaking calmly. I began to feel an unknown sense of discomfort.
“The very same thing happens over and over again without end.”
Heroes are people who repeat the exact same thing over and over again.
And there was the King of Heroes, the lord of those who really did the same thing over and over again…
the King of Heroes.
The name, which I accepted so casually, suddenly became incomprehensible.
Still, I had to understand.
“Will you defeat me and become a monster, or will you fall as a human being to my sword? “The decision is yours.”
At the same time, Cheonma was forcing a decision.
The sword demon, a monster without a doubt, was there. And in order to fight that demon, Yoosung also had to become a monster.
Because that’s what a hero is.
“No, my bones are already the bones of the Heavenly Demon Elder, and my cells are the supercells of the disgusting fusion lord, and I’m even a vampire lord with the title of king of magicians… That’s why the king of heroes said
.
“Well, it’s not like you’ve been doing this for a day or two, but now it looks like you’re going to be struggling like a middle schooler during puberty?”
It’s literally no different from any other time.
I remembered what another hero king said earlier in the Jester Lord’s Tower.
There is nothing in this world that needs to be taken seriously.
Indeed, that was correct.
This world was a joke from the beginning.
Therefore, no matter how bitter the cold engulfs his being, even if it is so cold that even his heart is frozen, nothing will change. He just carries out his mission as a hero until the end.
Because that’s the king of heroes.
“Was that your resolution?”
The Heavenly Demon adjusted his sword and laughed. After laughing, he put the poisonous sword in his hand back into its sheath.
Sreung.
After putting it in, the Heavenly Demon placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Holding your thumb diagonally on top of your calf nose.
Cheonma’s right foot, which was on the ground, moved out about 15 degrees. My back was bent forward ever so slightly.
The only way to describe the movements of the Heavenly Demon in the form of letters was so far, and there was no need to even say what it meant.
“You have a will that does not melt even in the winter of the universe.”
The Heavenly Demon opened his mouth.
“I truly admire your indomitable strength.”
“Oh, I guess I’m usually better off. Just
flashy lights every day…
Yoosung tried to answer those words. But I couldn’t speak.
The Heavenly Demon moved, and the poisonous sword in its scabbard flashed like a flash of light.
A Japanese eclipse of extreme pleasure that cannot be compared to any other time before.
This was followed by a sword of destruction that was incomparable to anything else.
Annihilation «.
Therefore, Yoosung also unfolded his herbivorous diet.
The two swordsmen clashed like mirrors without any error.
The sword of the one seeking defeat clashed with the sword of the winter night.
That was the last time.
“…
The last herbivorous sword of nihilism of the Heavenly Demon Three Swords was not swung.
However, the sword of the winter night held in Yoosung’s hand did not remain silent.
Sigh!
That’s why I cut it.
Blood was splattered along the wasteland that stretched out behind the Heavenly Demon.
At the same time, the winter night unfolding behind the shooting star was engulfing the world of the wasteland.
“I have wandered the wilderness of the world all my life, looking for a strong person who can teach me defeat.”
“And it was here that my journey finally found its meaning.”
There was no one strong enough to defeat the Heavenly Demon. However, the number of those who fell to the Heavenly Demon would amount to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Those who could not teach him defeat and fell senseless before his sword.
Nothing in this world was meaningless before the Sword of the Heavenly Demon.
Nothing had any meaning before the Sword of the Heavenly Demon. All the world’s masters, countries, and empires were no exception.
It should have been so.
“I want to create a sword that does not become meaningless even in front of my sword, and a strong person.”
“Now… it’s not meaningless.”
The Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly.
And looking at that scene, the King of Heroes fell silent.
It was right then.
[Skill《Descent of the Heavenly Demon. The message “Jin > will disappear!”
came to mind, and the ‘Heavenly Demon’s inaction’ residing in Yooseong’s body disappeared.
This goes without saying. The Heavenly Demon, who was supposed to descend, has now fallen before the sword of the meteor.
At that moment, a man wearing black rags opened his mouth.
“Now… you are the Heavenly Demon.” At the same time, a message came to mind.
[Title: Obtained the Heavenly Demon!]
《Heavenly Demon》
– Grade. Unique
– Effective
. You can inherit the name and power of the Heavenly Demon.
– Description
. Because we have given up on humans to fight monsters, and because we have given up on humans, there is no reason to care for humans. In this way, heroes become monsters, and monsters will wander their whole lives in search of a hero who can defeat them.
But no hero could defeat the monster.
The monster also suffered because no one could defeat it.
That’s why people feared him and called him the Heavenly Demon.
As soon as the message was read, the Heavenly Demon’s appearance collapsed.
Whoa!
At the same time, a power that could not be compared to anything else began to swirl within Yoosung’s body.
There was a power in his body that could not even be compared to when he used the skill Descent of the Heavenly Demon.
At the same time, it was not even a form of ‘skill’.
A power of purity that cannot be compared to anything else.] It resided in Yoosung’s body.
Clink!
At the same time, the scenery of the winter night there was broken and the scenery inside the tower was finally revealed.
The Nightmare Lord was astonished, and the Clown Lord’s laughter was heard.
“I am descending.”
A new Heavenly Demon has appeared in a place where countless monarchs reside.
