Chapter 78 – The Villain Was Me (4)
“Ouch! The monsters are trying to kill you! Help me!”
“I can’t fight anymore!”
“I’m hurt too! Fix me first!”
Countless people were lying on the main altar of the volcanic wave, bleeding.
Even in a situation overflowing with corpses and wounded, those from the Murimmaeng and Volcanic Faction warriors took care of the wounded.
“What is this?”
Returning to Volcano Wave belatedly, I asked Ryu Su-kyung.
“We couldn’t follow your plan.”
“Why? You have an older sister.”
“We built fortifications with great numbers to keep our enemies at bay. As a trap, we waited for the enemies to prepare to face us there.”
Great battles require great preparation.
There were monsters from the northern part of Shaanxi, as well as from Daemak and Cheonsan.
When they see a large army, they will definitely prepare, and that alone will earn them a week.
By avoiding an all-out war and fighting side-by-side, they would be able to buy enough time for the Murim people of the Gupabang to arrive.
“The King Yo came here in person.”
“Yowang?”
“Okay. He was looking for you.”
The king is looking for me?
“Yowang was aware of you. He said he shared the same fate.”
“That sounds like nonsense.”
Before I came to this world after I was born, the only thing resembling a youkai was a senior in the military.
Does the king know me?
“He said he wanted to see you in person.”
“Yowangi?”
“Okay. After seeing through our strategy, he devastated us completely. He seemed interested in you.”
“Okay?”
“He wants to talk to you.”
“Are you requesting a conversation on the topic of ghosts? Not war? It’s really unique.”
I was deep in thought.
Well, I asked to meet you over there, so can you use it for a bit?
“Let’s meet in ten days.”
I’m going to have to take my time at this point.
# # #
Ten days later
Thousands of youkai were staring at the volcano in the clearing in front of the volcano.
In the middle, a man with dark hair and a black suit was sitting quietly.
His expression His, as if looking down at everything in the world, was that of a man who had come to take a walk, not to go to war.
Yowang.
Called the Black Dragon, he was sitting on a chair in the form of a human and waiting for me.
“Did you call me?”
The Murim people followed me in a row.
They took a posture to draw their swords at any moment.
“Hmm, sure. My intuition was right.”
He smiled slightly
“What?”
“You must also have the authority of the Absolute, right?”
Thud!
It was like a thunderbolt struck in my head.
“This is a world where youkai and humans used to live peacefully. But at some point, humans learned martial arts and magic from the monsters, and kicked them out into the desert and snowy mountains out of ungratefulness.”
“What do you mean?”
I was taken back by the sudden outrageous statement.
He continued talking in a tone that seemed not to care about me.
“What I want is not destruction. The Second Coming of Coexistence. I want a world where humans and youkai can live together in harmony. A society where everyone can get along.”
“You want peace after shedding blood like that? Is your foreign language name Adolf Hitler?”
“Blood? Did I spill blood? We’ve never had a preemptive strike. I was only defending. You were the first to infiltrate the Jeonjin Bridge. We focused on building only fortifications to defend ourselves.”
“Building a fort means preparing for war.”
“But you guys did the preemptive strike.”
“You guys moved the troops.”
“……….”
He stopped talking
“Hey, you are right. In any case, I will eventually start a war and pacify the midfield. As long as there is a human emperor, true peace will not come.”
Blah blah!
The boy’s small eyes, like narrow eyes, opened wide.
It was an ominous eye with only black.
“But why are you here? Aren’t they the absolute guardians who should protect the other world? I fight for harmony in my world. You are? Why are you in someone else’s world? I saw her as my mistress. How upside down you have turned the world upside down over the past few months.”
“Yeouiju-ro?”
Was this guy dragon?
Is it classified as a Yokai?
Once classified as dragons, whether in the East or the West, they were top predators.
“You raised the level of the Volcano Faction, brought the old sage named Chu Yang-Hon back from the cave, took control of the Jeonjin Bridge, and finally united the Gupailbang, Sama Chilhoe, and the imperial family. The only ones who can do such a thing are legendary figures such as Dharma Patriarch and Chang Sang-sang Jin-in.”
Is this a compliment?
“Shaanxi is my first step. It will change the world around here. The monsters exiled to the desert and snowy mountains will establish an ideal world here. A world where humans and monsters live peacefully.”
-【Yowang Hyukjingeon Lv.98】
-The opponent is the absolute one who protects this world.
“What.”
He’s the guardian of this world?
So, does that mean his actions are in line?
-That’s right. If Hyuk Jin-geon’s revolution succeeds, this world will last for at least three hundred years.
I saw the king
“The volcanic wave.”
The king spoke first.
“Empty the volcanic wave. Then let everyone live.”
Generous offer.
It was still before the support of the old file room and the imperial family had fully arrived.
They didn’t attack even though there was a huge power difference.
He was not a homicidal maniac who wanted unnecessary sacrifices.
‘He’s not like a monster.’
However, my decision was already hardened.
Protecting the Volcano Wave was the reason I was here.
Handing over the volcanic wave is something that should never die.
“I can’t.”
Unfortunately, I came to comfort Ryu Su-kyung’s broken spirit.
I couldn’t let the volcanic faction empty, nor did Yowang succeed in the revolution or occupy the volcanic faction.
“Why?”
The king asked seriously.
“Because we are the Volcano.”
The king frowned.
“You, it’s been a few years since you became an absolute.”
“What?”
“Yeah, good times. Be intoxicated with romance. The day I will die soon will come.”
Yao Wang withdrew with his men.
“How do I do it?”
Jegal Yoo-eun asked me.
“Somehow, we are going to war as planned.”
# # #
The Yowang definitely possesses tremendous power.
Perhaps, except for Master, no one could possibly beat him.
-【Volcano No. 1 Sword Cultivation Spirit Lv.110】
Master’s level is 110.
Much higher than the king.
Considering that even a difference of 10,000 between high levels is a huge difference, you should be able to win easily.
Of course, due to the nature of the absolute, he could easily jump over a few levels like me and beat someone with a higher level than himself.
However, a bigger problem remains.
“There is not much time left.”
A group of lights descended from the sky only on the building where Master is located.
The lights were pulling him as if telling him not to harm the natural order and come up to the realm of the gods.
“Do you know the goblin I killed last time?”
“I heard that it is one of the four major cancers.”
“On that day, about two thousand people he had to kill lived. Thanks to that, the order has changed a lot. The variables for the future created by thousands of people are enormous.”
He was wrestling with the causality of the human world he had created.
“Five times at most.”
“What is that?”
“This is the number by which I can swing my sword at the enemy.”
Dudungsil.
The old sword lying in front of him floated in the air.
“I can’t fight, so you, my disciple, will have to use some strength.”
Whiririk! Whirik!
The sword floating in the air was demonstrating the Dokgogu sword.
“Let’s have a hard time today.”
“Master?”
Hey profit!
His sword flew towards my forehead.
Tang!
I drew my sword and slashed Master’s sword.
“The volcanic sword is beautiful and noble, but threatening.”
Hey profit! Chuck!
Master’s sword cut through my body.
Tang! Visor! Papabak!
I had learned 10 stars of plum swordsmanship.
It was consistent with the saying that there are few rivals in Murim that he learned 10 names of the prestigious school.
“Did you forget the swordsmanship I taught you?”
Tang! Tang!
“One second of Dokgogugum. Front wheel tanyeong!”
Tadadang!
“Strength is good. But I am not skilled.”
Shih! Shah!
Another sword flew towards me from the side.
“Shit.”
Two swords flew towards me from different directions.
“They say that Yowang is a black dragon. The dragon’s attack shatters heaven and earth and drives it from all directions.”
Shah! Shhh!
“Fresh food! Don’t diffract!”
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
Sword steel began to cover Master’s sword.
“Dragons are strong and fast. What else do you need in battle besides being strong and fast?”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every time my sword and Master’s sword collided, my insides shook.
“Keugh!”
“Thanks to your natural talent, you have never had a crisis. Go through enough crises today.”
Seeeee
One sword was added at a tremendous rate.
The three swords sped up and aimed at my body.
Visor! Visor! Visor! Visor! Visor!
Dalian risking his life.
The battle continued to the point where you could feel the skill level of Dokgogugeom increasing.
Bang!
Eventually, the building exploded and the two of us leaped into the air.
Visor! Visor! Visor!
People watched the confrontation between Master and I.
“The next best man in the world.”
“It’s a great win.”
“Are you teaching students?”
The Murim people watched the confrontation between me and the master as if they were watching the immortals in a legend.
Pak! Puck!
I threw a wooden plank at Master Cha’s head with my foot.
Whirik! Whiririk!
The sword came out of the sheath of a Murim man who was passing by and blocked my attack.
I climbed onto the branch of a zelkova tree and strained my thighs.
Jiing.
The tree branch snapped and my new model also went down.
Ping! Shaaaaagh!
My new model flew towards Master like an arrow.
“Volcanic plume!”
Wow!
Master received my attack without wavering.
“Manryongchunseok!”
Visor! Bang!
A tremendous pressure pressed against my body.
“Youwang is stronger than this. You will not be able to reach him, and he will die.”
I swallowed blood and immediately rushed at Master.
– Dodge to the right. An attack comes from below. Use self-defense!
The eyes of truth showed me the route of movement.
“Movement as if foreknown. However, resourcefulness is powerless in the face of greater power.”
Bang!
“Six second meal! True dragon attack!”
Aaaaagh!
A great storm rose from my sword and attacked the master.
“Your swordsmanship has improved a lot. But that’s about it.”
How long will the monster old man force you?
“Does the limit come soon?”
Shhh! Shararak!
Already more than ten of these swords moved in a complex way, targeting my body, head, and legs.
“The limit has already been exceeded in the past.”
“Not when I see it. Push yourself to the limit.”
Visor! Bang!
Swords collided with swords, and there was an explosion.
“Poison Gogu Sword. 7 swords. Great wind.”
Whoa.
My inspection softened.
However, the power carried by that soft blade was not smooth at all.
Saaaaa
Master moved his body for the first time.
Whirik!
“It was a pretty good attack. To make my body move.”
Visor! Visor! Visor! Visor!
I slashed my swords and ran to him.
Swoop.
Master raised the sword.
He held the sword directly with his own two hands.
Unlike when I was fighting with a sword, a tremendous amount of pressure pressed down on my body.
Holding the sword with his own hand meant that he would seriously step forward.
“Front-wheel shotgun.”
“Great wind luck!”
Whoa! Aaaaagh!
Master’s Dokgogu sword 1 second and my 7 seconds collided.
“Keugh!”
I flew back
Hooked
Master’s foot his took half a step back.
“You took half a step from me.”
Master grinned.
“Surely you are a genius. He is my disciple.”
The sunlight grew stronger over his head.
Chin! Chin! Chin!
In the far sky, a staircase made of light rose one level at a time.
“No! You can’t go up now! I have to fight the Yo-wang!”
“If that’s enough, even if you fight the king, you won’t die easily. This is a better way than having me fight the king for a bit.”
“No!”
You fight!
Master stepped on the golden stairs that descended from the sky and went up one floor at a time.
“I will say one last thing. The trick of the Dokgogu sword is that the sword and the human become one in the end. The new sword union is completed in two ways.”
“What is that?”
“Forget everything and leave your mind blank. Or, completely fill it up and make the mind come together as one. Most choose the former.”
“Me?”
“Complete your sword yourself.”
He uttered his last words as he ascended to the fairy world.
“Disciple, even if the path you are taking is a path that disturbs the order of things. Once the warrior has drawn his sword, go to the end.”
Shit!
The one I had as an enemy was the absolute one who protected this world.
It was a natural result that this world did not like me.
That I was a villain
“Be sure to protect it.”
With eyes full of poison, I saw the back of Master, who was making the best of the fable.
“Be sure to keep it. Volcanic waves. I will definitely keep it.”
