Chapter 1310 – 1310. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into A Baron’S Family
Wooooooong.
Space twisted, and the scenery changed.
I was in the kitchen, not the banquet hall. The kitchen, which seemed to have been in the middle of preparing food until just now, was completely devoid of people. I walked past the still-warm fried chicken that had fallen on the floor and out of the kitchen.
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
A scream came from the right. I turned my head. But there was nothing to see.
‘The mansion has become a labyrinth.’
It was the power of the mirror demon, Birubiru.
Birubiru creates a labyrinth and designates one person within it. By reflecting the designated person in a mirror, it manifests possibilities within the labyrinth to hunt down the people inside.
‘Possibilities are a kind of parallel world. In the original story, parallel world Kyles appeared and killed people.’
Even if you kill the people from the parallel world, the labyrinth doesn’t disappear. You have to find and kill the contractor who created this labyrinth, or find and kill Birubiru’s essence… something even the original Kyle, who was a top-tier Aura Master, couldn’t do. If Yuria were here, maybe, but Yuria isn’t here right now.
‘I just need to find and kill the demon contractor. The problem is that he’s a master of disguise… a noble, a knight, a servant… he’s most likely disguised as a noble. It’s much easier to not have to work if you’re disguised as a noble. He was disguised as a noble in the original story too.’
I can’t just find and kill all the nobles. If I did, the power of the Archen Duchy would diminish. Right now, I and the Archen Duchy are allies.
Tap tap.
I stopped walking down the hallway. Another me appeared in the hallway. His skin was pale, and his eyes were as red as blood. He was wearing a black robe and holding a staff with a demon skull embedded in it.
“…Damn it. I’ve been designated.”
I clicked my tongue.
“So you’re the real one. You don’t look that special.”
The pale-skinned me raised his staff and slammed it on the floor.
Thud!
His mana moved. A knight of rotten flesh crawled out of the shadows. He was wearing black armor and holding a sword. A Death Knight.
“A necromancer?”
“Can’t you tell?”
The Death Knight pointed his sword at me.
The necromancer, hidden behind the Death Knight, quietly muttered something while looking at me.
Suddenly, my body felt heavy. Fatigue washed over me.
‘A curse, huh.’
Fortunately, it wasn’t enough to stop me from moving.
“Necromancer. You know I’m the real one. That means you know you’re a fake.”
“So?”
“You’re being controlled by the mirror demon, Birubiru. There’s no reason for you to attack me. Aren’t you angry at the demon controlling you?”
“Controlled… Seeing you and the others, I do feel the urge to kill.”
“If you’re Eugene Prukerus… you’d hate being controlled by someone. So, let’s join hands. Let’s find Birubiru’s contractor together and kill him painfully.”
“I refuse.”
The necromancer said. His red eyes didn’t waver.
“It’s true that I don’t like being controlled by someone, as you said. If I get the chance, I’d like to kill Birubiru and his contractor too. But right now, I have something more important to do.”
Necromancer Eugene Prukerus was serious. Somehow, his personality was a bit different from mine.
‘Is it natural for my personality to be different since he’s a parallel world version of me?’
The Death Knight slowly approached. I took out the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers from my inventory and held them in my hand.
“Is that important thing killing me?”
“It’s killing you and taking your smartphone.”
“…What?”
The necromancer took something out of his pocket and threw it at me. It was a smartphone. I caught it in a daze. It was the same model as the smartphone I had. I pressed the button. The screen didn’t turn on.
“Is the battery dead?”
“You moron.”
“……”
I felt awkward at his annoyed words. I never thought I’d be insulted by myself.
My smartphone hasn’t needed to be charged since the day I awakened the Game Life app. Since that day, the battery level has always been at 100%. It was incredibly convenient not having to charge the battery separately.
“The Game Life app was your goal… Do you think you can use it even if you take mine?”
“…I can use it. I am Sung Eugene. There’s no way I can’t use the Game Life app.”
He won’t be able to.
He’s a fake. He’s just a parallel world version of me created by Birubiru, so there’s no way he can use the Game Life app.
I want to throw the smartphone at him right now and see him despair…
But my mind is a bit strange, and I have an ominous feeling. What will happen if he uses the Game Life app?
The thought alone is terrifying.
“…Try to take it if you can.”
“That’s what I was planning to do.”
Charrrr.
Dozens of chains shot out from the floor and ceiling. Instead of reaching for me, the chains surrounded the area. This was to prevent me from escaping.
“Go, Kyle. Kill him.”
“Kyle… you said?!”
The Death Knight approached, stepping in a specific pattern. It was definitely a martial art of the Mount Hua Sect. The Death Knight’s sword drew a plum blossom in the air. I approached and deflected the Death Knight’s sword.
The first way to break the Plum Blossom Sword Technique is to not let the opponent finish drawing the plum blossom.
Despite my attack, the Death Knight forced himself to draw the plum blossom. Only an undead who doesn’t feel pain could do that.
One plum blossom was completed. The plum blossom increased from two to four. From four to eight. The Death Knight’s Plum Blossom Sword Technique smelled of rotten corpses instead of the fragrant scent of plum blossoms.
I bent my knees and attacked the Death Knight’s lower body. One of the weaknesses of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique was the lower part of the body.
Clang! Kang!
The swords clashed. The Death Knight was the one being pushed back.
‘He’s weaker than the Kyle I know. A high-level Aura Master… At best, he’s at the top-tier level.’
Pajijijik.
Red lightning rotated around the blade of the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers.
Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) – Ten Thousand Lightnings (卍雷).
The rotating red lightning spread in all directions. It broke the plum blossoms the Death Knight had drawn in the air and electrocuted the Death Knight’s body. Flames erupted from the Death Knight’s body. The corpse was burning from the lightning.
Thud!
The necromancer slammed his staff on the floor. Shadows rose from the floor and covered the Death Knight. The flames that were burning the Death Knight went out, and the Death Knight’s size increased by about 1.2 times.
“I see. You seem to have traits or skills related to swords and lightning.”
“And you have skills to control corpses?”
“You’re well-informed. To add, I also have skills to control chains.”
Chains that had sprung out of the wall rushed towards my neck.
Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) – Electromagnetic Barrier (電磁氣幕).
The chains that touched the electromagnetic barrier changed direction and flew towards the necromancer. Clang! The chains bounced off the necromancer’s barrier.
“You used magnetism, huh. Then… I just need to get rid of the magnetism.”
He shook his staff.
Charrrrrr!
Chains with dark energy appeared from the ceiling, floor, and walls and rushed at me. In front of me, the Death Knight was drawing plum blossoms and advancing. There was nowhere to escape. It seemed difficult to block them all.
‘Then I’ll break through head-on.’
Lightning Heaven Style (雷天流) – Gale Lightning (疾風迅雷).
[Using Acceleration. It will last for 10 minutes. Remaining stacks: 6]
[Using Instant (刹那). Remaining stacks: 5]
I passed through the eight plum blossoms created in the air and approached the necromancer. The blade of the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers cut through the necromancer’s barrier. The necromancer’s red eyes didn’t show any agitation. I raised the blade again.
“Claudia.”
An enemy appeared from the ceiling. Two crossed swords pressed down on my sword that was rising from below. I stepped back before the enemy’s kick could reach me.
I narrowed my eyes and identified the enemy. She was wearing black armor without any gaps. However, the chest area of the armor was roundly protruding, her waist was slender, and her hips were large. It was clearly the form of a female body.
“…Claudia, you said? Could it be her?”
“Yes. She’s Kyle’s heroine from the original story. She was the first female adventure king, but now she’s just my slave.”
Claudia, wielding dual swords, rushed at me. Behind her, Death Knight Kyle was drawing plum blossoms in the air and approaching.
‘Damn it. This is annoying. Instead of targeting that guy first, I should have taken out the Death Knight one by one.’
I kicked the ground. The black chains that were crawling like snakes were kicked away and flew off.
The necromancer was watching me with cold red eyes.
‘He’s a parallel world version of me, but his skills and traits are different from mine. He doesn’t seem to have acceleration or full recovery… Should I try a suicide attack? If I catch him off guard, I might be able to kill him.’
But I hesitated for another reason.
The mirror demon, Birubiru. He could create another fake. In the worst case, someone more annoying than the necromancer might appear.
That’s when it happened. The necromancer’s red eyes moved to the side. My eyes also moved to the side.
A huge fireball was flying through the night sky, illuminating it. The fireball collided with the window and caused a powerful explosion. However, the chains surrounding the wall were intact.
Kiiiiing!
Melisa, wearing a dress, used an aura blade to cut the chains and stood next to me.
“Master. Are you safe? I felt an unusual presence and came here… The situation seems quite serious. Two masters… I wonder if Madam will like it?”
“Is this a time for jokes?”
Melisa stood next to me. Unlike her frivolous mouth, her face was more serious than usual.
“Master. We just need to hold out.”
“We can’t win if we just hold out.”
“Father found the demon contractor on the rooftop. He’s holding him and interrogating him. He’s going to kill him in 3 minutes… So we just need to hold out for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.”
“That won’t do.”
The necromancer said. He, Death Knight Kyle, and Claudia disappeared into the shadows. The chains that had been surrounding the area also disappeared.
I missed him right in front of me. I distorted my face and slapped Melisa’s boob with my palm.
Slap!
“You idiot! Why would you say that out loud?”
“To be called an idiot by Master… I’m incredibly upset. But don’t worry. It’s a lie. We just need to find and kill the demon contractor before he attacks again.”
“It was a lie… You’re really smart. But did you know about this demon?”
“I heard it from Madam. She told me to be careful while telling me about the demons belonging to the Pantheon.”
Melisa and I ran down the hallway. We had to find and kill the demon contractor who was somewhere in the mansion.
“Is that necromancer a parallel world version of Master? That’s unexpected. That such a possibility exists for Master.”
I wasn’t that surprised.
Even if I don’t have talent, I have the Game Life app. With the Game Life app, I can do anything. The necromancer knew that, so he tried to take my Game Life app.
“Don’t tell me you fell for him?”
“Oh, did I get caught? To be honest, my pussy was throbbing intensely when I saw Necromancer Master.”
“Okay. You’re getting punished later. I’ll fuck you until your pussy is swollen and puffy like a steamed bun.”
“That’s kind of… exciting too…”
We stopped running down the hallway. We felt a chilling aura that made our spines tingle. Almost at the same time, we looked out the window. A huge black hole had appeared in the sky. Skeletons and zombies were pouring out of the hole.
It was obvious who was behind it.
