Chapter 994: The Divine Tree and the Master.

‘……What’s with the size?’

As I raised my head to meet its eyes, I was momentarily taken aback by how it seemed to go up endlessly.

What is this big?

The figure that appeared was strangely large. It was practically building-sized.

Judging by its build alone, it seemed well beyond the Blue level compared to a demonic beast.

‘Wow.’

What got so big like that? In this unexpected situation, I observe the figure.

Could it be that it’s not the one I knew? A thought like that crosses my mind, but.

‘It seems to be.’

When I checked its aura and presence. It was definitely the one.

The head of the White Clan.

I remembered its characteristic rough and rugged aura. The state of that one is the same as it.

The difference is.

‘It’s much stronger.’

It was much. Much stronger than the White one I faced back then.

‘How much stronger did it get?’

Even considering it’s night. Is it possible for the level to be this different?

‘At the very least, it must be over double.’

It was the Moonlit Tribe member with the biggest difference among those I’ve seen so far. Its size, and the amount of changed aura, were both like that.

The size of its presence had changed as much as its physique.

‘Hmm.’

‘How interesting. That you can see such a difference.’

I was watching the figure with interest when.

“Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!”

It lets out a rough cry.

The resonance was so loud it seemed to echo everywhere.

“You bastard–.”

It’s a scratchy, deep voice, as if filled with phlegm.

Although it was never a clear voice to begin with, it was peculiar that it had become such a monstrous sound.

“How dare you show yourself in a place like this–!!”

It truly became a beast, incarnate.

‘Even the Blue wasn’t like this.’

I could see fur growing here and there, its form changing and strengthening, but it wasn’t completely beast-like like the White one.

It still had at least a sliver of its human appearance left.

‘That’s just a damn beast.’

A giant tiger-man.

No, frankly speaking, it’s laughable to even call it human. It felt like just a giant white tiger standing on two legs.

No matter how I look at it, I can’t see it as human.

“Grrrrrrrrr.”

The way it lets out low growls is the same.

“Hmm.”

I nodded my head, looking at the figure.

“It’s quite different from last time.”

Kroong-!

The snort I let out was so strong it made my hair flutter.

“Insolent fool. To show up so brazenly. You must have thought I was that much of a joke.”

Kkeugeuk-!! Kwagagagagag–!!

As it spoke, it swung its arm roughly. Its claws, cutting through the air, carved long furrows into the ground.

“Did you think you were something just because you succeeded in a surprise attack last time? Or did you think I’d be easy too, after crushing the Blue one?”

“Hm?”

At the White one’s words, I narrowed my eyes. Why mention only the Blue one? That was a bit puzzling.

‘Does it not know about the Red incident?’

Apparently, it didn’t know that I had beaten up the Red one.

If that’s the case…

‘Yusa must have hidden it.’

It meant it had kept silent about this matter.

Realizing that, I said to the figure.

“You seem to be mistaken. What’s so surprising about me entering so boldly?”

“What…?”

“Under this sky, there is no place this venerable one cannot go.”

As I spoke, I released the arm that had been behind my back.

“Does a master need permission from their own possession? There’s nothing more laughable than that.”

“Grrrrrrrrrrr—!!!”

The White one reacted to my words. Its already massive muscles bulged further, and it bared its fangs to the fullest.

“Arrogant fool.”

Gugugugugug–!!

Its presence intensifies further.

Perhaps because of that, the air around the figure began to distort slightly.

“That this sky is yours? Even though the Master is watching, you betray the grace bestowed by Him!”

Chwaak-!

Its tail, as large as its body, cuts through the air.

Kung-!

It slammed down onto the ground like a whip, shattering the earth at that moment.

“I don’t know what your intention is for causing such chaos, but you’ve made a mistake.”

The fur on its body bristled.

“Even if you succeeded in one pathetic surprise attack, it’s your miscalculation to assume this time would be the same.”

“Ho? What’s different?”

“The full moon is coming soon.”

Kwadeuk-!

The ground the figure stood on cracked.

“Then, my blessed fangs will devour you.”

“Kwaaaaaaaa–!!!”

Its massive body charged at me.

---

“Kwaaaak–!!! Kwang-! Kwang-!”

Explosions erupted, shaking the surrounding area. Not to mention the ground vibrating, buildings erected here and there could be seen breaking and collapsing.

“Run away……!!”

“Get out of the way immediately–!!”

The soldiers were invariably fleeing in panic at the unfolding situation.

Their expressions were filled with terror, and understandably so.

When a house-sized monster is rampaging, who wouldn’t be terrified?

“Kuaaaaaaaa–!!!”

The white monster, resembling a tiger, swings its hand powerfully.

Kwageugeuk–!!!

As its claws cut the wind, another building collapsed. The mansion, which seemed to have been built quite large, collapsed so easily.

“Don’t run away–!!!”

It charges, roaring. In an instant, it was right in front of me.

‘Fast.’

Seeing its speed, I was slightly impressed.

To maintain its speed despite growing to that size.

“Grrrrr!!!”

The figure reaches its hand towards me.

Seeing that, I also clenched my fist.

Kung-!

Vibrations envelop my fist.

With the full power of Tuapa Cheonmu contained within, I executed the technique directly.

Fist met fist.

Kuaaaa–!!!

A shockwave erupts, spreading energy in all directions.

‘Look at this?’

At the situation that unfolded afterward, I couldn’t help but smile.

Surely, the full power of Tuapa Cheonmu went into it, yet the figure was merely pushed back slightly, seemingly unharmed.

‘Its durability has also increased ridiculously.’

It became stronger overall.

Strength, speed, durability, aura.

Every aspect is outstanding.

‘It seems like the strongest among the leaders I’ve met so far?’

Even considering it’s night, the White one’s strength was considerable. During the day, the Red one seemed the strongest…

‘To just attribute it to the night seems wrong.’

Judging by the figure’s reaction, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

‘Does it get stronger as it gets closer to the full moon?’

That could be it. It might also be the reason for its strangely surging confidence.

Regarding the Moonlit Tribe, I knew almost nothing.

However, it had a weakness.

‘With all its abilities raised…’

It became crude in its movements.

Should I say it moves purely on instinct? Its beast-like aspects seemed more prominent.

Kkigigigik–!!

‘Hmm.’

I rolled my eyes from inside my mask.

‘Is this enough?’

It seems there’s nothing more to figure out. The moment I thought that, I stopped my moving body.

Just then, the White one slashed its claws down towards me.

“Grrrrr-! Gotcha–!”

The huge claws obscured my vision.

If this keeps up, my body would be mangled.

Just before the claws reached my body.

Tuk.

I moved my hand.

Kwajik–!!!

“……!!”

The White one’s blue eyes widened like saucers. My body, which should have been crushed, remained intact.

Because it was its own arm that flew off.

“Keeu-eu!!!”

In pain, the figure tried to scream, but.

“Noisy.”

To prevent it from screaming, I approached closely and struck its jaw upwards.

“Kuok!”

Hit by the blow, the figure’s jaw shot skyward.

Its body lost balance from the impact.

Given its large size, there were plenty of places to hit.

Seeing that, I pushed my body.

Changcheon (Soaring Heaven).

As the pain surged, strength flowed into my body.

This too was much easier than when I used it before.

Feeling my expanded acupoints, I infused my energy.

Immediately, the energy of Tuapa Cheonmu gathered into a handful.

At first glance, it resembled Yeomok.

However, it contained a much cruder and rougher power than that.

Pachim (Sky Breaker).

Containing the sky I created in a handful, I shattered it towards the figure.

Dung-!

With a small sound, the impact burst forth.

Kuaaaa–!!

With explosions incomparable to before, the figure’s massive body was sent flying backward.

Its rapidly flying body smashed through its own mansion repeatedly.

“Keeueo……”

The figure, embedded in the building, let out a pained groan.

A large hole had formed in its body. Yes, the Pachim I first used on the Blue leader didn’t have this much power.

Seeing that, I let out a slight smile.

“You’re as tough as you appear.”

The compliment is sincere. The Pachim I first used on the Blue one didn’t have this much power.

At least double.

My body, changed by becoming Wolya, could pour out that much power, yet.

The figure endured it even after taking that blow.

Moreover.

Chiiiiik-!!

Bluish smoke emerged from its torn arm and pierced body, and it began to regenerate gradually. The speed was quite fast.

The Moonlit Tribe is already fast, but this one is exceptional among them.

Furthermore.

‘Its torn arm is also growing back.’

Although the speed is slow, the arm is also growing back.

Seeing that, I was very curious if this one was special, but.

“Is this all? Then I’m disappointed.”

There was no point in watching any longer here.

“It’s crude and paltry, not even worth watching. It’s too insignificant to even call it a display.”

As I spoke, I gathered strength.

The figure’s regeneration speed is fast. It will probably get back up soon.

It didn’t matter.

That much was enough.

Giiiiing–!!

Reactivating Tuapa Cheonmu, I cast Changcheon.

Pain surged, but my body, strained like before, maximized the ability.

Simultaneously, activating Guyuhwahalyungong, I caused friction between the energies.

Energy clashed with energy.

Because I was casting Changcheon, the pain was much stronger than before, but.

‘I’m used to it.’

Enduring pain is something I’m more accustomed to than anyone.

I hadn’t tried casting Changcheon simultaneously before, but it seemed like the right answer, in a way.

The energy grows quickly.

The pain is just as intense, but what’s important is the casting speed.

‘This is just what I wanted to try.’

Thanks to this, I think I can test it.

Since my body holds up, the energy circulates faster.

Kurururureung–!!

A gale blows within my body.

My mind and spells enveloped it to prevent it from exploding.

I twist my waist.

I put strength into the tip of my foot.

The direction and form of the technique are different from the start.

It was too much to devise movements in this situation, so.

For now, I borrow inspiration from the First Style of Tuapa Cheonmu.

First Style Tuamu Fist.

Simply throwing a straight punch, but it must be executed with movements flawless to the inch.

I infused Cheonmasingong into it. Will I succeed? What came to mind before thoughts like that was none other than.

‘Then what should I name it?’

Not knowing whether it will succeed or fail, I was more concerned about the name than such things.

After pondering for a moment, it came to me.

Ah, right.

‘Should I call it Cheonma Ilgwon?’

I decided on the name right here.

I liked it.

Cheonma Ilgwon (Heavenly Demon One Fist).

Nodding inwardly at the newly coined name, I threw the punch directly.

Kkiaaaaaaaa—-!!!!!

The emitted energy screams.

In that moment.

The night was brutally torn apart.
