Chapter Index

    『Huh─!』

    My head was thrown back as if it was going to be torn off. I pulled it back just before the collision, but it was still dizzying.

    My body, unable to withstand the shock, was thrown backwards. There was no time to fly comfortably.

    His wide-open eyes scanned the area ahead. The body of a lowly incarnation. He read the red afterimages with experience and intuition.

    The afterimage came right up to Imiko.

    A feast of attacks that fills your field of vision. You only have two arms now, but the attacks are denser and sharper than when you used to have six.

    The tower of purgatory stretched out its arms.

    Deflects attacks. Slips an attack between the chaotic trajectories. A profound technique that can blow off the head of any being without even noticing it.

    Kwaang! It bounced off as if it was nothing. The back of my hand that was hit by my elbow was sunken.

    “under!”

    The tower of purgatory shed exclamations.

    ‘It’s hard to keep up with this body.’

    Not only his skills, but his explosively increased physical abilities are also admirable.

    Even if it is a maintained number. A body that is amplified by fear, a fear that floats around like a propellant.

    The rate of decline that entered the hyper-amplified state was so fast and strong that it was difficult for a low-level incarnation to keep up.

    “Are you planning to die like this?”

    Hwaruruk! There was a price to pay. The right arm, which had become the starting point of the disaster, began to burn. Scars from the past began to appear on the outer skin.

    The fear of this rate is gentle. The fear that incites and preys on the user’s emotions is gentle.

    For now, I have lifted that restriction. The fear burns beyond the physical endurance and increases the output.

    [You’re the only one dying, you son of a bitch]

    『Ankaljigun』

    The tower of Purgatory that was laughing bounced off again.

    The moment Lee Ha-yool was about to follow him, a crimson thorn suddenly appeared in the place where the two were.

    “Ugh, aaa …

    It was the 10th attack that caused some confusion.

    The thorns that spread out over an extended range were broken down.

    The thorns that have melted like that become a sea of blood, and from the sea of blood, new thorns rise up and sweep across the area.

    Repeated manifestation of the expansion ability Sisanhyeolhae and Gwanhyeonggeuk. It is a simple but powerful tactic.

    -Whoooosh!

    The surface of the blood sea became brightly colored. Chhh! Steam rose from it and evaporated.

    The 10th time, he raised his head towards the source of the heat.

    Sky. Lee Ha-yool, who had been soaring, clenched his teeth and spread out the circuit behind him.

    The Right Hand Wheel and the Wings of the Sky were activated. The storm that was being maintained was abandoned. Instead, it focused only on drawing out the magical power of the entire area.

    He struck the coward with the magical power attached to the circuit and wings.

    -Whooow!

    The sun rose in the sky. His right arm burned. Lee Ha-yool lowered both of his raised hands.

    The sun fell. Feeling a sense of crisis, the 10th round raised its hand. The sun crashed into the circular membrane that rose up in an instant.

    Ta-da! In addition, a large amount of blood was destroyed by a series of lightning strikes from the side.

    The blood membrane that had barely withstood the impact collapsed.

    At the same time, something dug into the gap between the collapsed blood membrane.

    The 10th time, my body trembled, I pulled out the spear from the blood sea on the spot.

    -Kwaaang!

    “Kaaak?!”

    Before he could raise his spear, his heel struck the crown of his head. The head of the 10th round split open and fell to the ground.

    Since the 10th round was not a match specialized for one-on-one battles, I couldn’t properly react to Lee Ha-yool’s speed.

    -Gulp!

    But it’s not like there is no countermeasure.

    In the blood sea that could not be burned, countless thorns rose from the 10th round that had its head hit the ground.

    Even at this low rate, this thorn cannot be ignored. To avoid the thorn, he quickly flew up into the sky.

    -Whew!

    It was just a slight brush. But then, black, dead blood vessels began to appear on my skin, and blood flowed from my eyes.

    True Blood Expansion Ability

    Hemolysis

    It is a deadly poison that acts on the blood, increasing its ability to expand.

    The furrowed brow caused a commotion. The commotion that coursed through his body devoured the poison and his body soaked in the poison.

    The pain was excruciating. And it wasn’t just because of what I had just done.

    A scream from the body. The body that has grown beyond the front line to some extent is now firing off red signals for the first time in a long time.

    ‘Do you have time to feed three kinds of food?’

    I ignored it. The warning was a given. Instead, I ran towards the Tower of Purgatory, who was trying to escape during this gap.

    A tidal wave of thorns poured down from behind. A sudden gust of fire and lightning shooting up from the ground blocked the thorns heading towards Lee Ha-yul, burning a sea of blood.

    ‘The three bells are hard to write.’

    The three bells are long and noisy. There is no way that the 10th round and the tower of purgatory will wait for that moment.

    Even after charging, it is difficult to accurately hit the target.

    The third type is not yet proficient. It is an easy technique for a large entity that is stupid and relatively dull, such as a two-headed poisonous dragon.

    But no one can match his instantaneous power. If he sees an opportunity, he will definitely strike even if it means bursting his arm.

    ‘Be prepared.’

    If you absolutely can’t do it, then it’s right to run away. But it is possible. It’s rare and risky, but it is possible.

    So, raise your head. It was the same in Shipnaha and in China.

    If I make excuses and back down once, I feel like I will never be able to get up again.

    So I’ll force it in. Even if it means burning my arm that was finally healthy, even if it means giving up my leg this time, even if it means shortening my body’s lifespan.

    Lee Ha-yul has once again made up his mind.

    -Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

    ‘?’

    That was when a cheerful ringing sound burst into my head. It was a notification that had been quiet for a while… no, quite a long time.

    at the same time.

    A line was drawn in the sky. Left, right, up, down, a line that looked like it had been cut with a knife was drawn in the shape of a square.

    ‘uh?’

    The expression is wrong. What is drawn is not the sky, but space. The cut space collapsed, and flames poured out from it.

    Aeyul opened his mouth to meet the familiar flames.

    Someone suddenly came down through the flames that were swirling inside as if searching.

    The nature of a red flag that lands on the spot where the blood has evaporated.

    A solidly built body, fiery hair and eyes.

    The red-hot Beacon Sword of the Sword God, held firmly in hand.

    [Artisan-speaking-Byeok]

    Hong Yeon-hwa’s biological father, and at the same time, the current leading figure of Gyeop-hwa, Hong Jin-seon.

    “… … ”

    Hong Jin-seon, who appeared out of nowhere, looked around and narrowed his eyebrows.

    The first thing that came in was the younger brother that I had been searching for so desperately and the monster in the sea of blood.

    Next is… Lee Ha-yool, who was extremely violent.

    “You… ”

    Hong Jin-seon’s previously calm eyes opened wide.

    “… Son-in-law?”

    [Yes, huh?]

    Lee Ha-yool, who was sweating profusely in pain at the sudden and shocking nickname, made a dumbfounded expression.

    Two people who met in a shabby, if not unclean, place.

    Although both of them were equally embarrassed, there was no time to relax and let go of their worries.

    The two men turned around at the same time, their faces hardening. Lee Ha-yool poured out his fearful fire with his right arm, and Hong Jin-seon swung his Bonghwa sword.

    Hwaruk! The waves of thorns crumbled in fear, and the Sword of Purgatory aimed for Hong Jin-seon’s neck was repelled.

    Hong Jin-seon nodded as he kicked away the attack.

    “Son-in-law, this is the first time we’ve met in person, but it seems like we don’t have time to talk leisurely.”

    […yes, yes]

    “Is there anything more ugly than that son-in-law that you have to do?”

    Hong Jin-seon raised the Bonghwa sword and asked. It was only a brief glance, but what he saw in the sea of blood was a son-in-law who was prettier than his daughter and had a face similar to that of a son-in-law.

    […yes]

    “Then I’ll go and report. I have work to do with that ugly thing and the parasite that got inside. “

    [But, but…]

    “Don’t worry too much.”

    The fear that had been filled in the Bonghwa Sword was slowly being released.

    “Even if it’s like this, it’s a body that’s mainly scared. Trust me, I won’t roll around like that.”

    A calm tone. The confidence and certainty contained in it made Lee Ha-yool feel conflicted.

    [… Yes, thank you]

    “What are you thankful for?“

    In the end, I nodded. It was because Hong Jin-seon’s ability was as seen through observation, and because it was difficult to deal with both of them at the same time.

    [I will process it quickly and come to help you]

    “Come slowly.“

    Lee Ha-yul turned around, shaking off his right arm that felt like it was going to burst.

    .

    .

    .

    This is a truly sudden situation.

    I was just going around dungeons all over the world looking for Hong Yeonjun, when suddenly the floor split open and I fell into a strange place.

    It seemed like a trap, but inside, a blood-spurting monster and a woman who could control lightning were fighting.

    There was a younger brother whom I had been searching for for a long time, and a son-in-law whose face I had never properly seen.

    I don’t know English, but it’s not a loss.

    Hong Jin-seon walked while checking his physical condition.

    “He’s a rare person.”

    A disparate voice was heard from ahead. Hong Jin-seon raised the Bonghwa sword and asked.

    “An even worse parasite has entered an already incompetent guy.”

    『Oh? What is the difference?』

    “No matter how bad you are, you are still blood relatives. You have abilities that a parasite like you doesn’t know about.”

    The tower of purgatory raised its tail. It seemed as if it was a gut feeling or something, and it seemed as if it was certain that it wasn’t Hong Yeonjun.

    『Yes. I am using this body to good use. Well, if I had known a better vessel would be born so quickly, I would have waited longer.』

    The words that the owner of the Purgatory Tower muttered as if he was muttering. A very slight sense of relief appeared on Hong Jin-seon’s expression.

    The tower of purgatory that caught him tilted its head.

    “What? Relief? Peace of mind? I don’t know why you have that expression.”

    The face that had briefly shown emotion froze again. Hong Jin-seon gripped the Bonghwa Sword tightly and drew out his magic power.

    “Although the sin of cowardice will not disappear, I thought that it gave the loser a small excuse.”

    “What do you mean by ‘fear of death?’ How is that a sin? It’s just the strong beating and swallowing the weak.”

    “That’s why you’re a parasite. You ungodly insect. My little brother’s body is not enough, so how dare you burn my son-in-law’s body too?”

    A thunderous roar echoed over Hong Jin-seon’s body.
