## Chapter 256 – Those Martial Artist Bastards
The world is full of inexplicable rage.
There are many absurdities, and many things that are incomprehensible. As someone with a perfectly normal brain, I can only say that this world is where extraordinary things I can’t even imagine happen as if they were everyday occurrences.
That’s why wars never disappear.
The KKK, as well as neo-Nazis and imperialists, the cancers of society, howl and rage from the dark corners of the internet.
This is why wars never disappear. Humans are foolish, ignorant of forgiveness, compromise, and admitting their mistakes, endlessly spewing out ugly emotions and slaughtering those different from themselves in the name of justice.
It’s wrong.
I think this is very wrong.
If I ever save this world as a seeker of Fusion Confucianism, I vowed that I would fix such trends first.
“Aigo, shit.”
I was walking down the street, contemplating such thoughts and concrete plans on how to efficiently burn down the sugarcane fields where black people are being exploited.
The vacation was a complete bust, but wasn’t it time to return to everyday life?
Winia went to the Magic Tower on business, and Cloudie, curious about what kind of place the Magic Tower was, followed her. Winia was annoyed that she was tagging along, but in the end, she went out, saying she was going on a date with her favorite sister.
I was heading towards the guild.
Let’s save some money before winter comes.
Autumn is the season when monsters become active. They are also living creatures, so they need to store energy to survive the winter. In the process, attacks and plunder against humans occur.
ㅡResidue.
That’s when it happened.
I smelled a familiar scent.
“…”
The scent spread wide, as if luring me.
What is this… this scent?
It’s a scent I remember. At the same time, it’s a scent that makes my head ache… I don’t know exactly. Like a moth drawn to a lamp, I followed the scent as if possessed.
A color only visible to my eyes.
If this scent had a color, it would definitely be orange.
ㅡThump, thump.
The closer I got to the source of the scent, following the vivid orange path, the faster my heart pounded. Excitement? Anticipation? Something similar. I don’t know exactly, but this scent was intensely stimulating me.
With anger.
When I finally approached the source of the scent, I was able to witness the truth. Shocked, I had no choice but to kneel on the spot and tear at my hair.
“Oh…! Oh oh…!!! Oh oh oh oh!!!!!!”
ㅡShivers.
My whole body began to tremble.
“How much is this?”
“Martial Artist Miss, you’re so pretty, so 4 coppers!”
“Hehe, I’m not pretty. Do you still say that after seeing my biceps?”
“You’re even humble! Since you’re humble, I’ll give you an extra 1 copper discount!”
It was Serka.
She was joking around peacefully with the fruit vendor, grinning as if she was having the time of her life… What is this? I was in a state of severe cognitive dissonance, unable to even recognize the situation itself.
After observing that pathological, crazy person’s dreamlike, unrealistic scene for a while, my mind finally returned to reality.
“…”
Laughter.
A smile.
Laughter and a smile were visible.
I couldn’t help but question it here.
Was laughter allowed for such a KKK elite member…?
…This is very different from my common sense?
I fell into great confusion.
If there was an end, this was the end, and if there was hell, this was the bottom of hell. As I said, extraordinary things that you can’t even imagine are blatantly happening in this world.
An era where evil people live peacefully, laughing, if this isn’t hell, then what is it? I felt a misalignment and something wrong. Come to think of it, even the bandits didn’t shed tears despite massacring people.
It’s wrong.
They don’t know their place.
They don’t know their limits.
They don’t know their mistakes because they haven’t been judged.
They don’t recognize their sins because they haven’t repented.
My mood plummeted into the abyss of the abyss.
ㅡEvil people must not laugh.
A sticky, dark emotion rose from my toes and filled my entire body. My vision blacks out. The world turns black. In the darkened world, only Serka, laughing in front of me, was visible.
“Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”
“Please come again, I’ll give you another discount next time!”
“I will definitely come again.”
The teachings of Buddhism. The teachings of Confucianism. And the teachings of the Heavenly Demon Cult and my experiences. Finally, the teachings of King David, mixed with my father’s teachings, whispered in my brain.
[Go.]
「Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekㅡ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」
The explosion of anger and the roar happened almost simultaneously. Before I knew it, I was running towards Serka at transcendental speed. ㅡTap, tap, tap! She turned her head at the sound and recognized me.
“Serka!”
“Heok!”
Serka, terrified, threw down the fruit and started running away like crazy. How dare you! How dare you show your back to this Heavenly Demon Kim Kat!
This bitch insults me as soon as she sees me!
She still doesn’t know her mistake!
A chase of pure rage ensued!
I pulled up everything I had and burst into explosive speed, sprinting! But Serka also showed off her criminal-like agility, quickly running away!
I have to catch her!
“Uooooooooooooooㅡ!!!!!!!”
Excited, I chased after Serka, performing destructive somersaults and inhuman windmills. It’s an irresistible impulse!
My impulse was sublimated and expressed as extreme hyperactivity!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!!!!”
Serka, who looked back, was horrified to see me in an acrobatic pose, rotating in the air. I chased after her, going crazy like small animals startled by a loud noise.
ㅡHehe…
ㅡHehe…
ㅡHehe…
At the same time, Serka’s laughter echoed in my head, and her smile began to overlap in the corner of my vision. Ugh, ughaaaaaaa! No! This can’t be! I can’t accept it!
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!”
A scream burst from my mouth!
All the surrounding gazes were focused on me!
“You can only laugh when you have Kuru disease or Zonah disease!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!”
“But even that is unforgivable!!!”
The amplified anger spewed out without knowing the end! But because I was showing off my gymnastics skills, I couldn’t catch up with Serka!
Then, like carrion beetles and maggots swarming a corpse, martial artists began to gather. It was because Serka screamed and advertised it all over the neighborhood.
The martial artists who saw that, judging that I was the culprit at a glance, rushed at me.
“What are you! What are you doing to our girl!”
“Stop right there!”
This has happened before.
“Hey, hey…! Wait! That black hair, that’s…!”
“Could it be that time…!”
But the result of that incident only proved that the martial artists were no match for me. Would I, who massacred nearly a thousand merfolk, be afraid of you guys!
“Get out of here, you morons!!”
ㅡKuheok!
ㅡKeheok!
When I slammed a double lariat into the two guys who were trying to stop while rushing in, they spun around like a joke and crashed to the floor.
Running speed and strength.
And the power of mana combined into a clean strike.
“O, Older brothers!”
“Stop! Serka! I’ll let you off if you stop now!”
“D, Don’t lie!”
“I’m the kind of person who hates lying in this world, you fucking bitch!”
The chase continued.
As I was sending the rushing martial artists to the afterlife, the gap widened more and more. Could it be that I’m going to fail the chase like this? God! It can’t be! The goal is right in front of me! Hitler is right in front of me…!
ㅡPaaat!
“Finally, you’ve appeared, you barbaric swordsman!!”
“What?”
Then, a loud shout echoed, and someone appeared and blocked my path. The one who landed, kicking up dust. No, she was a white cheongsam-clad woman with long blonde hairㅡ
“You’re doing something terrible to Serka again… Come on! I won’t be fooled by cowardly tricks like last time!”
ㅡIt was a martial arts master with impressive mare-like thighs.
She shouted bravely and stood in front of me, taking a stance.
“Who are you!”
I stopped walking and shouted, pointing my finger.
“W, What?! It’s Mariel! Have you forgotten!”
“I don’t remember every loser!”
“Iik!”
In the short time I stopped, Serka had already run far away. What a lucky bitch. I had a chance, but before I could give her a good scolding like last time, it was ruined.
You fucking…!
Enraged, I clenched my angry teeth.
My fist began to cry.
“I haven’t forgotten you for a single day since I was humiliated that day! How dare you tarnish the name of a martial artist with such cowardly methods!”
This bitch didn’t even know I was pissed and was just excited by herself, shouting.
Then, while talking about cowardice, she took a violent stance as if she was about to rush at me right away. But there are many gaps. As I habitually analyzed the situation, I saw too many loopholes.
“Cowardice is just an excuse for the weak. Are you making excuses for your defeat?”
To my eyes, which had become stronger than before, Mariel looked like a very shabby existence. In the first place, she’s someone who has lost to me twice. She’s not even worth remembering.
“That’s not it! Don’t try to obscure the essence of the incident with nonsense! Have you forgotten that you attacked while I was taking off the boots you told me to take off!”
You actually take them off when I tell you to?
It’s your fault for taking them off.
“You bitch, that’s because you were careless. Is it my fault that you were careless in a real fight? You’re unbelievable!”
I frowned.
Mariel scoffed and said confidently.
“I wasn’t careless, you barbaric swordsman! You were just being immoral!”
“What the fuck are you talking about, you bitch!”
How dare you talk about immorality to me!
ㅡPapat!
Enraged, I immediately took a murderous fighting stance of the Secretary Kwon Beop! I’m not going to let this insult go. Good. I’ll beat you up and steal your wallet again like last time.
“Come on! If you don’t come, I’ll go!”
She shouted fiercely.
“Is there any need to go? You have to give the first attack to a loser. I’ll take a hit, so come at me.”
“How dare you insult me like that…! I’ll make you regret it!”
ㅡPaaat!
Mariel kicked off the ground.
The hem of the cheongsam fluttered, revealing her mare-like, firm thighs. It was an undeniable fact that the long, white boots below looked pretty good.
Then, I saw a white tied string at the end of her pelvis.
Wh, What?! She’s wearing a string thong?!
It’s fatal!
ㅡBut I don’t succumb to honey traps.
To me, who has completed the Clear Mirror Still Water, such temptations are no better than pebbles rolling on the street. In the first place, my Cloudie is prettier and sexier.
“Today, I’m going to get revenge!”
Mariel, who quickly closed the distance, kicked me. ㅡBuung! It was a powerful kick that caused a whirlwind. The power contained in it must be considerable.
However.
“Slow.”
Just two steps.
I use Secretary Kwon Beop to avoid the swinging leg.
A strong attack is useless if it doesn’t hit.
“The movements are too big.”
In a real battle where swords and spears are rampant, where I’ve fought on the border of life and death with my life on the line, this lukewarm kick doesn’t reach me.
“The trajectory is obvious.”
Raise your arm.
The biggest advantages of Secretary Kwon Beop are ‘change’, ‘application’, and ‘compatibility’. It flows like water with Taekwondo and Heavenly Demon Divine Art, and is the most basic source of combat that firmly establishes the foundation of martial arts.
ㅡBoongtseu boongtseu.
Twisted waist while performing footwork. And raised arm.
“Heavenly Demon Shattering Palm.”
I slam a counterattack into Mariel’s empty side.
ㅡPeoeok!
A punch containing the power of Shattering Heaven pierced into her side, digging into her flesh. You have to know how to aim for gaps. Only then can you kill the enemy and survive. That’s the principle of combat.
“Keuheuk!”
It was an attack made before Mariel could even retract her kick.
Contrary to my expectation that she would fly away and roll on the floor, Mariel swallowed a groan and quickly widened the distance.
Good judgment.
She clutched her side and glared at me.
“The reaction is good. But it’s not enough to reach this Heavenly Demon. No, it’s inferior. Is this all you can do even though I gave you the first attack? It’ll be worth seeing if I go.”
ㅡTteudeuk.
I loosened my body.
It hasn’t even started yet.
“Heavenly Demon Descent Step.”
