_ Volume 22 Episode 16
541. Manshinjeon (7) Until now,
Taesan had never activated the Spiritual Rise of his own will.
This was not only because Taesan’s spiritual elevation was not his own, but also because of the nature of the spiritual elevation itself.
Ascension of Spirit steals the spirit contained within when defeating an enemy. There was no will of Taesan there. Whether he wanted it or not, he was forcibly robbed.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t control it at all.
Due to the Seed of Life skill, it was possible to control it even a little bit.
However, the part that could be controlled was the type and amount of power that was robbed. Spiritual elevation was still a passive force that could not be actively handled.
That kind of spiritual elevation has now turned into spiritual usurpation.
A lot has changed along the way.
Taesan
triggered the spirit usurpation of his own will.
The result is realized as a phenomenon in the world.
Wow!
[Hmm?]
Rakiratas’ face changes.
The ax is blocked by Tae-san’s hand and cannot advance.
Taesan’s hands were not bound by boundaries or physical force. It was literally an ordinary hand.
Of course, as the level reached was high, it boasted of unchanging hardness with its body alone,
but it was never at the level of blocking Rakiratas’ attack. His bare body was like a piece of paper in front of an axe.
It should have been crushed and cracked the moment it touched.
But the ax got in the way.
Rakiratas gave strength to his hand. Even so, the ax did not advance.
[…Wait.]
Rakiratas’ face hardened for the first time.
he noticed it belatedly.
Kaga gak gak!
Struggle and death are only for Rakiratas.
It is possible to break it with force and contaminate it with the power of the old god, but it cannot be plundered. This was because the two concepts were allowed only to Rakiratas.
But now.
Fighting and death were contained in Taesan’s hand that touched the axe.
It was as if it belonged to Taesan.
It was a very small conceptual robbery, so even Rakiratas, the culprit, did not immediately notice it, but it was a clear robbery.
[You are.]
Rakiratas tried to regain the power that belonged to him. However, the struggle and death shaking from Taesan’s hand did not return.
Power goes into Taesan’s hands.
Kaaaang!
With a crashing sound, Rakiratas and Taesan are pushed together.
If it had been Rakiratas until now, he would have rushed right along with the mad cow.
But he couldn’t.
He was looking at Taishan with a hard face.
[You…]
It was the moment Rakiratas was about to say something.
[Stop.]
At that moment, the restraint entered.
* * *
[Until there.]
Kiyiing!
Maria’s powers are activated. The option that the two oppose each other disappears.
The battle itself is forcibly ended.
When I came to my senses, there were more than ten Transcendentalists among them. Their power separated Taesan and Rakiratas.
[I think this should be enough. It seems that you have seen everything you see. We don’t need more than this.]
Maria said to Deresha.
[What do you think? Thersha.]
[…]
[He proved himself against Rakiratas. Even while dealing with a foreign beast, he showed control over it. And while facing Rakiratas’ power, he showed his strength. Contrary to what you said, it seems to be enough strength in the war against the old gods.]
Thersha did not refute.
Rakiratas is the one with the highest level of power among transcendents. Having endured this much against him meant that he could overcome even against the old gods.
[It was. I have no intention of insisting on it any longer.]
Thersha stood back without speaking loudly. Maria smiled and looked at him.
[Don’t hate her too much. She is for this universe in her own way.]
“I don’t think much.”
From the point of view of Thersha, who maintains the order of the death of the universe that has existed since the beginning of the world, Taesan is a foreign substance that is very disturbing.
Taesan also had no idea about him.
Raki Ratas, staring blankly at Mount Tai, stretched out his hand into the air. The ax slowly disappeared through space.
The mood slowly subsided.
The wizard said to the other transcendentalists.
“Thersha seems to have accepted it. Don’t I have anything to say?”
No answer came back.
I felt only quiet positive feelings.
[It’s sorted.]
The demon looked at Mount Tai with a satisfied face.
[I didn’t know I could endure this much against Rakiratas. It’s a state beyond my imagination.]
[Is it a realm transformed into life? I don’t know how that came about.]
[But it’s under his control. Then there will be no problem.]
The Transcendentalists were generally satisfied. After looking at them for a while, Taesan asked them.
“Are you okay?”
[What is it?]
“My strength.”
[Now that I’ve come again.]
Zervand let out a laugh.
[I knew that you wielded alien powers anyway. I was quite surprised that it turned into life… but
it’s under your control, right? Then there will be no problem.]
[Even now, I don’t know what level you have reached or what position you are in, but as long as it’s you, there’s no problem.]
Transcendentalists generally said there was no problem.
But what they said was different from what Taesan said.
‘Did I not notice?’
Taesan looked at Rakiratas.
Rakiratas
was also looking at the Transcendentalists with a strange face, just like Taesan.
But instead of pointing it out, he opened his mouth.
[Have you finished checking?]
[Yes. You worked hard.]
[It’s what I wanted, so it turned out. Then… I’ll need a little break.]
[I’ll need both. Aren’t you and Taesan in perfect condition?]
[That’s right.]
Rakiratas had also lost quite a lot. It will slowly recover over time, but
I needed to take a break for a while.
Rakiratas moved slowly.
[Then I’m resting first. Let’s talk about the rest among you.]
Before leaving, he looked at Taesan. Rakiratas disappeared.
The transcendentalists were a little taken aback by the sudden movement.
But the bewilderment quickly dissipated. “Anyway…
no one will touch you with this anymore .
congratulations.”
The wizard grinned.
“You have been recognized by the transcendents of the universe. I’ll go and talk to you about the rest, so rest for now.”
* * *
Taishan returned to the building the wizard had guided him to.
He was resting there and recharging his wasted power and energy. Bard Ray trembled as if he was getting goosebumps. The body made of iron swayed with a rattling sound.
[…I’m not broken, right?]
“It’s not broken. What are you worried about?”
[You don’t look worried? It’s Rakiratas! Rakiratas! That struggle and death beat me!]
It was a trembling experience for Bard Ray. The very concept of the universe
seemed like it would break at any moment whenever it was beaten.
“I am your master. Unless I’m broken, you won’t be broken either.”
[I know, but it can’t be helped that my flesh is shaking.]
Bard Ray grumbled. Having calmed down a bit, he muttered something new.
[By the way… Did the atmosphere change a lot?]
I felt countless lines of gaze towards Taesan.
Most of the gods who ruled the small concept that did not dominate the whole concept
were sending their hostile and murderous gaze toward Taesan.
Like a mantra, they were hostile to Mount Tai and felt threatened by him.
But now it has completely disappeared.
The only gaze he could feel from time to time toward Mount Tae was fear and fear.
The power of Taesan, shown in the battle with Rakiratas, was something huge that they could not accept as they ruled over a small concept. With just one battle, they
realized that Taishan had reached a separate realm from them.
“Not bad.”
A lot was gained. In the process of risking his life and fighting with all his might, he learned how to handle the power he had acquired.
And what level he himself had reached.
Taesan, which had been quietly resting, turned gray as if it had suddenly come to mind.
Kreung.
I heard the cry of the beast. Like a puppy clinging to its owner, the gray color clung to Tae-san’s body and growled quietly
.
“What are you?”
Boundaries that have become ego.
Exactly what this was, Taesan couldn’t quite figure out. I could now give orders to my beast self, but I still hadn’t grasped the bottom of the boundary.
Taesan focused his mind.
Dig inside the boundary. I try to understand the depths of it by dealing with the spirit.
but it is not visible
It was like the deep sea in the depths of the sea. It was thick and dark. I couldn’t reach the bottom.
Taishan injured the soul.
It felt like a bottomless force.
Taesan couldn’t easily figure out how to handle this perfectly.
‘..and the last.’
The spirit usurpation that prevented Rakiratas’ attack. It was the moment
Taesan tried to think about him
.
Sigh.
The door opened and a wizard appeared.
“Did you have a good rest?”
“so so.”
“great job.”
The wizard waved lightly.
He sat down on the created chair and opened his mouth.
“The story is over. Transcendentalists will no longer oppose you. You can go back now.”
“Is it over already?”
“I have nothing to talk about right now. We have not yet decided exactly how to act.”
start of war. There was a lot of work to be done. It wasn’t something that could be sorted out in a few days.
“But… once things are sorted out, I might be able to ask for your help.”
“I know that.”
I had no intention of rejecting it. The wizard grinned.
“You did a good job. You should receive the reward directly from Rakiratas .
Because
he said he would give it himself .”
“..okay?”
Taishan’s eyes sank.
Taesan has completed a moderate recovery. Now we are ready to slowly depart.
Taesan went to Rakiratas.
It was because he decided to reward Taishan. Taesan
arrived
at the temple of Rakiratas .
“It’s bloody.”
There are countless spears, knives and axes.
Uncountable weapons were studded like ornaments.
Each and every one of those weapons were only things that couldn’t be found in the outside world close to holy relics.
And numerous skeletons were scattered around the arms.
It was literally a landscape that seemed to embody struggle and death.
And on top of that, Rakiratas stood still.
[He came.]
“Because he said he would give you a reward.”
[It’s a reward. okay. I have to give it to you.]
Rakiratas smiled strangely.
[If it’s a reward, I think I already have it, but yes. Compensation is necessary.]
If someone listens, he may be confused,
but Taesan knew what Rakiratas was talking about better than anyone else.
“It happened.”
[It happened that way,]
said Rakiratas playfully.
[So. Are you using my robbing concept well?]
Level up with skills.
