Ceylon swung his sword.

Although he is currently in a physical condition that cannot be called normal, he is capable of reaching the intermediate level of a sword expert.

No matter how unhealthy his body was, it was not difficult to kill a person. Even if they are beings that belong to the strong side.

So, in the current situation, he didn’t have much to worry about.

Although he had an underlying promise that he should never fail, he was not a famous strongman and failing to kill an ordinary person was close to impossible.

Sigh!

The sword he swung cut down the approaching presence.

Fresh blood gushes out and splatters blood from the scars left behind by the sword.

‘I went in.’

It’s a perfect blow.

It was a blow that could not be avoided or blocked.

Now, all we have to do is take the body for the last time.

As he approached to collect the body, the sight he saw was quite different from what he expected.

“… Different?”

different.

Of course, the face he saw back then was a completely different person.

It may be that the appearance is deceiving, but that is also true to some extent.

The person you see now is a completely different person.

That means only one thing.

‘I was deceived.’

As soon as Ceylon noticed that fact, he immediately turned around out of a sense of death. Something huge stuck in his original spot. Smoke billowed and a huge crater formed.

He rolled to the ground to avoid it and saw a sign of what he could feel.

A man who had come to ask him for a request was standing there with a smile on his face.

“Who is this? Isn’t he the one who killed Duke Erdi?”

Ceylon narrowed his eyes at the man’s sarcastic tone.

‘Did you notice it from the beginning?’

It was clearly a fleetingly perfect trap.

However, the being in front of me responded that it had seen through such things from the beginning.

‘By the way, that power just now… ‘

It was so foreign.

Ceylon was tense at the power, which was similar to but different from demonic energy, as if it were not of this world. No matter how much I think about it, if that power was more dangerous than demonic energy, it would have been more dangerous, not less dangerous.

‘… ‘It’s going to be a harder fight than you think.’

I came here because I thought it would simply kill ordinary people with ordinary powers.

It may not be in the right condition, but I ended up fighting an unknown entity.

At this level, he thought that the world had placed a curse on him to always bring only misfortune.

“Anyway. I was just going to kill Duke Erdi and give him the information you were looking for as a reward. You’re so fearless, sticking your teeth in without even knowing the subject.”

The eyes of the man who said that while laughing were filled with cruelty.

Ceylon smiles with an expression similar to the one his own dog would make when it bared its teeth.

“I really want to ask. From the looks of it, you probably know who I am. Are you saying you have no fear?”

No matter what anyone says, the fact that Ceylon is a blood clan has not changed.

The Blood Clan is such a dangerous entity that it was treated as a top secret in ancient history.

Even though their numbers were small, the empire did not check, oppress, and oppress them for no reason.

Whether a child, an old person, a young person, or anyone else, each and every one of them can be considered a disaster.

What was no longer possible to explain was the existence of the Blood Clan.

No matter how bad his current condition was, the current situation could not be seen as unconditionally bad for Ceylon, as the blood clan had characteristics that surpassed everything else.

The man also nods his head as if he is aware of this.

“That is correct. Because it’s ridiculous to use the word ‘fear’ on the bloody family. But you know what? That there is a being who made it possible for even such a bloody clan to tremble with fear.”

“I came to my senses.”

It was not a rebuttal to the opinion of the man in front of me.

Even though they are of the blood clan, they are still humans, and there are times when they feel fear of an overwhelming being.

It’s just that that level barely exists in this world, and due to their characteristics of lusting for blood and killing, they have a strong tendency to fight and rush to see no matter what powerful person comes, so they often mistakenly think that they are not afraid.

The only problem is that the standard is strangely high.

However, it was Ceylon where I saw with my own eyes a being that went beyond meeting those standards.

Since it makes the Blood Clan tremble with fear, it is natural that it does not seem like just a psychopath’s delusion. But it didn’t take long to realize that that wasn’t just bragging.

“My master-!!!”

The surrounding area shakes at the man’s shout! It rings.

An earthquake rang out with an unknown presence nearby, as if a huge natural disaster had occurred.

At this time, an unknown sense of discomfort surrounds him.

Ceylon quickly decided to cut off the guy’s head.

This is because he instinctively sensed that if he delayed any longer, something he could not handle was approaching.

Ceylon hits the ground.

It was clearly a strong sound, but the sound was drowned out by the earthquake shaking around it.

However, the speed was intact, and the effortless movement flew towards the man’s neck.

If things continue like this, I could cut my head off.

The man did not take any action until then.

It just keeps crying out for its owner.

Although he wondered why, Ceylon, who thought it was an opportunity, swung his sword with all his strength.

Chaeaeang!

With a crashing sound, the sword seemed to be blocked by something and could not go any further.

Even if you apply more force, you only feel more repulsion. Ceylon, thinking that anything more than this was meaningless, widened the distance and retrieved his sword.

‘I can’t pierce it.’

No matter what happens, you can’t break through this.

I was confident that even if he remained intact and showed his full power, Ceylon would not be able to break through the unknown defense shield surrounding the man.

‘It wasn’t human in the first place.’

Just one bump.

From that alone, I could tell that the unknown force surrounding the man was from a being that transcended human beings.

It is not something that can be called a demon, an elf, or any other race like that.

A being with the status of a transcendental person like a goddess.

It was like that.

‘… Why on earth is the transcendent here?’

Usually, a transcendent person can be seen as a divine being.

However, he did not know why such a divine being would respond to the call of a mere human, and why he would basically suppress the causality that made it difficult to intervene in the underworld and influence this place.

However, if there is one thing that is certain, it is that the transcendent appears to be descending here.

The truth was that if that happened, there would be truly irreversible damage.

‘Of course, there is no guarantee that it will descend.’

It is clear that there will be intervention, but what form it will take is not yet known.

No matter how much one intervenes in the underworld, descent literally means the true body of God descending here.

At that time, not just this place but the entire dimension could be destroyed, so it is highly likely that it will be some other form of intervention.

It was obvious that even he would suffer considerable damage.

‘Did I tell you to press it when something goes wrong?’

Ceylon saw a certain switch that Duke Mertain had handed over.

Honestly, I don’t know what effect this will have, but at least the current situation was consistent with what Duke Mertain said.

Dang!

When you press the switch, a sound sounds.

However, there is only a sound, and nothing special can be seen.

‘Well, what effect does this have?’

Is it true that when people are in a hurry, they tend to lean on something?

Ceylon let out a laugh at the sight of himself barely leaning on the switch.

Then he grabbed the sword.

‘Although compared to the Transcendent, he is nothing more than an insect.’

At least I was able to wriggle around.

Ceylon grabbed his sword.

My physical condition was not normal, but this was not the time to worry about such things.

Even if your whole body is in shambles, you can still give it a shot.

With that promise, I gathered my strength.

A deadly force with the unique characteristics of the Blood Clan spreads around them.

The presence and pressure contained in the intense killing was so strong that if an ordinary person felt it, it would immediately suffocate.

It was infinitely small compared to the natural disaster unfolding right before our eyes.

However, there was no feeling of wanting to give up or quit.

Rather, I only strengthened my enthusiasm to do more.

‘It’s really funny to me too.’

What’s so special about being an assassin?

It was really funny to see myself strengthening my will.

Ceylon did not erase the smile that appeared on his lips.

On the contrary, his eyes turned blood-red along with the smile on his lips, and it felt like they were billowing like smoke.

A vampire appeared behind him again.

Just like last time, the vampire was still smiling.

Soon, Ceylon swung his sword towards the huge natural disaster with a smile on his face.
