Chapter Index

    Predicament – predicament, predicament.

    Wow…

    The reed fields sway in the cold wind.

    Slurp…

    The moonlight shone on the swords raised by the two men and sparkled.

    Sabak… Sabak…

    The two swordsmen on the reed field looked at each other and said nothing.

    The one who was originally the owner of Muramasa and the one who newly accepted its power.

    Those who lived a life full of misfortune and sorrow,

    They just risked their lives and held their swords while glaring at each other.

    “…Come. Advent!!!“

    Crack—!

    The two men ran at the same time and clashed their blades.

    The blue cloak fluttered and the silver armor sparkled in the moonlight.

    The old man had returned to his prime, the body of a legendary samurai with unrivaled bravery.

    bang—–!

    When he swung the sword once, a strong red energy poured out and cut down the nearby reeds in one go.

    Kang—! Kang—! Kang—!

    Dozens of countless swords flew at the same time, aiming for the old man’s life.

    In the midst of a spectacular fight, the old man’s numerous arms were grotesquely bent and he adjusted his grip on the sword.

    Boom—-!

    The moment he swung wide horizontally towards Han Seo-jin.

    Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gag—-!

    “Pfft…!“

    The blue knight barely managed to block the blade by throwing his great sword to the ground.

    Even with the sword stuck in the ground, the attack was enough to push him back quite far.

    “Pretty good. I never thought you would block my attack.“

    “…I have endured worse than this.“

    Tup…!

    Seojin Han immediately took out a red cube from her pocket and held it up towards him.

    Paaat—!

    “Keup…“

    The old man closed his eyes with his hands from the blinding brightness.

    Hwaaah…

    “Ugh…keaaa…!!!“?

    I feel like all the energy in my body is draining out.

    It was as if his entire body had been mercilessly cut with a knife and blood was pouring out.

    The old man was out of breath and barely holding himself up.

    “This…what the hell…“

    “…It’s a holy relic made by your god. And…I prepared it because I thought I might need it someday.“

    The knight said, tapping the cube lightly with his finger.

    With a happy tone that clearly makes you smile through the helmet,

    He put the cube back into his arms and quickly ran away.

    Kang—! Kang—!

    “Pfft…!“

    I started to feel helpless in front of Kangrimja, who ran towards me with great momentum.

    No matter how much he turned into Sura, he still had pride as a swordsman who had accomplished legendary feats.

    In a situation where all of my magical energy was absorbed, I was completely unable to control myself.

    “Huh…gasp…“

    ‘No… more than that… that technique just now…’

    The old man rubbed his blurry eyes and let out a rough breath.

    Unless he was mistaken, the way he swung his sword just now…

    It was similar to the swordsmanship method he had been repeating for decades.

    ‘Could it be…that you learned my skills…in that short amount of time…?’

    Paaat—!

    Without even giving him time to think, Han Seo-jin swung the holy sword like crazy.

    Understated yet bold, sophisticated yet rough.

    Even though he is clearly dealing with just one person, the way he freely uses numerous different weapons is…

    I felt pressured, as if I was dealing with 12 knights at the same time alone.

    Buuuung—!

    He pulled out another huge spear from subspace.

    Shhh—!

    Kaan—!

    I hit the sharp stabbing attack with my sword.

    pop—–!

    “Keuak!!“

    However, the lance exploded and caused intense damage,

    The old man rolled back and looked at his scorched wounds.

    “…Sigh…I wish I could die to you like this…“

    “…Throw away your sword. Maybe…you and I can work it out through conversation.“

    “…Unfortunately, we are not allowed that luxury, young man. The god I worship… is very cruel and arbitrary. “

    Wood-dud-duk….Wood-dud-duk…!!!

    At that moment, numerous bright red hands pierced through the old man’s heart.

    They tore him in half, digging into his ribs,

    Afterwards, it gradually grew in size and its shape gradually changed into that of a gigantic giant.

    Thump…Thump…Thump…Thump…

    Adrenaline spread throughout the knight’s body and his heart pounded.

    Like a true Asura, the monster that could no longer be seen in human form let out a heavy breath.

    He held a bow, a spear, an ax, and a long katana in each arm.

    The corners of its mouth were spouting lightning and burning red.

    “…Monsters like us…should never exist in this world…young man…“

    “Neither you nor me…unforgivable…monsters…win..“

    Click…

    Han Seo-jin adjusted his gauntlets and took a deep breath.

    He took out numerous potions from subspace and placed them on his belt.

    He once again blessed all the weapons he wielded and prayed to the heavens.

    “…I can see your soul. Shining so beautifully… That earnest faith and hope that wants to protect someone.“

    “But at the same time…a very pitch-black, endlessly deep abyss also makes up you. On the verge of being swallowed up by anger and hatred… in a precarious balance.“

    As Asura said so, the paladin reverently took a stance and made the sign of the cross.

    “…When you face the death of a precious person. People go crazy in 5 stages.“

    “I denied it at first. That can’t be happening. There is no way this person would leave me in vain like this.”

    “Then I fall into anger. I end up resenting and cursing this world endlessly. In a world like this, they fall into madness and threaten to kill everyone.“

    “After that…I’ll try to negotiate somehow. For example, you can take anything from me, so please at least let that person live.“

    “…After that. Despair comes. It’s so deep…and dark. Once you step in, you will never be able to leave again.“

    “In the end… finally. become silent That child became a corpse and will always remain in my eternal memory. Rotten, corrupted, always, always tormenting.“

    Kaga-ga-gak—!

    His whole body began to burn bright blue again,

    The halo was shining and immersed in a brilliant light.

    “But…thanks to the kids who protected me till the end…I was able to add one last step.“

    “Hmm…“

    “Revenge. Make those kids like this…so that something like this never happens again…somehow.“

    “Even if my whole body was broken, even on that day when my mind was horribly distorted and I fell into a nightmare that I will never forget.“

    “In the end…I stood up again. And…I waited for this day.“

    Slurp—!

    He placed the holy sword on his shoulder and glared at the giant blocking his path.

    “I am taking revenge on your god who made me suffer so much. If I kill that bitch…I can kill you too. Then…we can protect those children.“

    “…You have great will. Descendant. Then…let’s face each other again properly.“

    bang—-! bang—!

    Intense lightning began to strike the reed field,

    At the same time, heavy rain began to drench them both.

    “…“

    “…“

    Tad-dak—!

    Boom—!

    Asura swung the huge katana towards Han Seo-jin.

    Kang—!

    He rushed forward and threw away the huge blade,

    He then quickly approached the monster.

    Hiss—!

    Pababag—!

    Dozens of arrows shot straight into the spot where he was running.

    The blades that covered him bounced off arrows and protected him like a shield.

    Paaa—!

    Wow!!!!

    A huge fire spirit appeared from the ground and swung a mace.

    Hard rocks were covering the outside of the spirit to prevent it from being extinguished by the pouring rain.

    bang—-! bang—-!

    The two giants began strangling each other and swinging blunt weapons.

    Pap—!

    When the heavy flame mace struck Asura in the jaw, he stumbled for a moment.

    Wow!!!!

    However, as an apostle of the God of Destruction, he did not fall easily.

    Boom—!

    Suddenly—-!

    With one strike, he cut the fire spirit that rose before his eyes in half.

    Kugugugugung!!!!

    The spirit grew cold and plummeted towards the ground.

    Percussion—!

    Seojin Han quickly leapt toward Asura’s head while his eyes were focused on him.

    “Heaven…please…hear my prayer…“

    Weee—-!

    Kugugugugugugung….

    A huge electric drill was draped from the sky towards the top of Asura’s head.

    Dozens of meteorites were raining down like a meteor shower all at once toward the top of the reed field.

    Paaat—!

    The holy sword held by Han Seo-jin began to emit a more intense light and emit a brave aura.

    “Light!!!!!!“

    With a cry that felt like his throat was going to explode, the holy sword was struck vertically and violently.

    Quagga Gaga River—-!!!!

    From the sky, a huge sword came down towards Asura’s head like a judgment of light.

    Boom boom boom boom—!

    One after another, numerous meteorites exploded towards his chest and arms,

    Weee—!

    Baba baba bak—!!!

    The drill vibrated so intensely that it seemed as if it would split my skull, and began digging into the top of my head.

    Wow!!!!

    The monster screamed in pain and moved its hands quickly.

    Kwaduk—!

    “Pfft…!“

    He, who had fought numerous battles in succession, also showed signs of exhaustion.

    It seemed like he was approaching his limit to avoid the hand that flew at him with such speed.

    Whoosh… whoosh… whoosh…

    “Oh my…fuck…“

    However, despite imitating the final technique of his colleagues, there was not even a scratch on the monster’s body.

    Asura’s skin seemed to grow thicker, as if he had never been injured.

    “Can you see it…? Young man… these are our words… even if you want to die… you can’t… such a monster’s life… “

    “Pfft…!“

    Han Seo-jin struck down the holy sword and tried to cut off the monster’s wrist.

    However, even though it was a very sharp blade, it showed no intention of getting stuck.

    Asura raised him very high in the air, shedding bloody tears.

    “With this…this is my farewell…the Advent…I will…respect you…“

    Just—!

    But as soon as he snapped his fingers, the positions immediately reversed,

    There wasn’t even an afterimage of him left in the monster’s palm.

    Rumbling…

    bang—! bang—!

    “Big…!“

    But the intense lightning began to hit his body mercilessly.

    The magic barrier surrounding it was broken, to the point where even the necklace she was wearing was broken.

    As he continued to change positions, as if God was personally punishing him, lightning struck him in succession.

    A lot of blood flowed from his helmet, along with pain that felt as if his whole body was on fire.

    “Please…rest in peace…“

    bang—–!!!!

    Asura hit him hard with his fist.

    Quad deud deuk—-!

    The brave silver-colored armor he was wearing was dented and shattered.

    The blue cloak was slowly flying over the reed field, crushed.

    Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga…

    “I…never…kneel…!!!!“

    “…It’s useless…”

    Kangrimja was clenching his teeth and frantically hitting the monster’s hand with the huge anchor.

    There were numerous blood stains scattered on the black suit.

    Several of the dog’s bones were sticking out through the skin.

    Wood clack…. Wood clack…

    “Pfft…!!!“

    However, he quickly jumped towards the monster and swung his sword like crazy.

    However, the sword strikes only bounced off helplessly, unable to pierce the skin.

    Mixing with the heavy rain, tears flowed from Asura’s eyes,

    He sighed slowly and prayed inwardly.

    I hope that the world that Kangrimja hoped for will not perish.

    The capricious god he serves changes his mind and loses interest.

    I hope that the people he risked his life to protect can just live their normal days as if nothing happened.

    A nightmare in which he had to kill the old man’s family and his beloved friends with his own hands.

    Just like his twisted heart that wanted to protect them until he became a monster.

    “…“

    The giant was in deep trouble.

    Even in a situation where the human body is broken down in pain that is too terrible to bear.

    The sight of him steadfastly continuing the unreasonable fight without letting go of the holy sword until the end.

    Hot tears mixed with rainwater flow down my cheeks,

    The monster closed its eyes for a moment and prayed to the sky.

    Still in this world.

    Hoping there is still hope.
