Chapter 1599 – 1599. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
KWAANG! KWA-AAANG! KWANG!
White semen meteors fell, creating a series of explosions. The semen meteors shattered upon impact with the ground. The demon king’s forces had to endure not only the shockwaves but also the scorching hot semen. The semen was so hot that it melted even the hard ground. It was comparable to lava.
However, the demon king’s forces did not stop.
New monsters appeared, stepping over the corpses of those that had been swept away. Even an ant colony wouldn’t be this dense.
“One more meteor… Ugh…!”
It was the moment I tried to draw out mana. I felt a bout of dizziness.
It wasn’t that I lacked mana. I had already recovered most of it. Since Rabbit was supporting me with the power of the labyrinth, my mana was practically infinite.
The problem was me. Even with a fairy’s body, there were limits. I couldn’t use meteors in rapid succession.
‘It’s a kind of overload. I’ll be fine if I rest a bit, but…’
I didn’t have the luxury to keep resting. The monsters were relentlessly crawling out and advancing.
I glanced at the castle. A fiery red mass fell from the castle to the ground. It was Hellfire, used by Melissa.
The effect was outstanding. Hundreds of monsters melted in the flames of Hellfire. And then, more monsters filled their place.
‘What a staggering amount.’
Meteors wouldn’t work.
Meteors were powerful, but only for a moment. I needed to continuously reduce the number of enemies.
I flicked my fingers.
The wind blew. The gentle breeze grew rougher over time. Dark storm clouds formed where the wind had passed.
Kuururung!
The storm clouds, reeking of semen, began to multiply rapidly.
While the storm clouds multiplied, I checked the situation at the castle. I was ready to intervene if things got dire, but… Melissa and the AM unit maids were holding their own.
Thump thump thump! Bang bang bang!
The modern weapons I had given them were proving their worth.
Rain fell from the storm clouds. Of course, it wasn’t just ordinary rain. It was white semen rain. The monsters that came into contact with the semen rain began to get agitated. And then, they started fighting each other. The reason was easy to guess.
Because they bumped shoulders, because they made eye contact, or just because they were annoyed. In their agitated state, anything could be a reason.
-Advance.
The demon king’s low voice echoed widely.
The monsters, who had been fighting each other, began to advance again.
‘The power of domination.’
He was completely controlling hundreds of thousands of monsters.
‘Even for a demon king, this is beyond common sense. There’s something else.’
After thinking for a moment, the answer came to me. The reason I could use magic so freely was thanks to my fairy nature and the power of the labyrinth.
‘The power of the labyrinth. The demon king has taken control of more than half of the labyrinth. The demon king is also using the power of the labyrinth.’
A demon king with the power of the labyrinth.
Just the phrase was the worst. It made me sick to my stomach.
At the same time, a question arose.
‘Why isn’t the demon king, with such overwhelming power, taking action himself?’
I thought about why the demon king was sticking to such an inefficient method.
‘There must be a reason why he has to.’
The demon king was making his presence known but not revealing himself directly. It was as if he was wary of something.
‘The only one the demon king would be wary of is Yuria. He’s scared of her.’
Yuria couldn’t move because of her trial. The demon king didn’t know that, so he must be thinking that Yuria was hiding and aiming for his neck.
‘Heh heh. He has no choice but to be wary after seeing Yuria’s power.’
Thanks to the demon king’s caution, I had a chance to buy time.
Kuururung! Ku-rurururung.
The storm clouds covered the sky. Lightning flashed between the clouds.
“Heh heh heh.”
The sound of the lightning urging me on made me feel good.
I flicked my fingers.
A thick bolt of lightning fell from the storm clouds to the ground. The world flashed. A crater was formed where the lightning struck. There was no trace of the monsters that had been there.
‘A sight that ordinary lightning could never show.’
I closed my eyes and opened my mouth to inhale.
I felt the thunder and lightning surging within the storm clouds.
I opened my eyes.
“Rage.”
As soon as I gave the command, countless bolts of lightning fell to the ground. The monsters were helpless against it.
The speed of lightning was 100,000 km per second.
It was a speed that couldn’t even be compared to the speed of sound, which was only 340 m per second.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The sound of thunder rang in my ears. But by the time the thunder was heard, it was already too late. The sound of thunder was not the beginning of the lightning, but the end.
As I looked down at the ground triumphantly, watching the lightning’s performance, my expression hardened like stone. More than ten cracks had appeared on the ground. Monsters were pouring out from them.
More monsters were pouring out than I could kill.
This wouldn’t do.
It was impossible to use meteors or sweep them away. If I stopped attacking to use a meteor, the castle would be in danger this time.
‘I’ll solve it with lightning.’
[Activating Genius Time for 10 seconds.]
I felt my senses expanding.
Since I was a fairy now, I thought there wouldn’t be much difference in my senses even if I used Genius Time. But that wasn’t the case. I understood after experiencing it directly. Yuria’s talent was incomparable to that of a fairy.
Under my expanded senses, I could feel the storm clouds.
‘About 30km.’
I controlled the storm clouds. I moved the storm clouds according to my will. I didn’t intend to do anything to the storm clouds themselves. What I needed was the lightning that the storm clouds held and generated.
The storm clouds rotated.
Lightning danced at its center. Not just one bolt of lightning. Countless bolts of lightning gathered there, flashing brightly.
[Genius Time has ended.]
Genius Time was over. 10 seconds was too short.
‘But thanks to it, I succeeded in creating the most difficult shape.’
Cold sweat ran down my cheeks.
Just gathering those bolts of lightning was enough to make me feel like I was going to faint from exhaustion.
‘I have to go further.’
This alone was just gathering the lightning at one point.
What I had to do was the resonance of the lightning energy.
It started with two bolts of lightning. The two bolts of lightning resonated, and the surrounding lightning resonated.
It repeated the process of generating and tearing apart.
I couldn’t control it.
I didn’t intend to control it either.
There was only one thing I had to do. To decide where the lightning storm would fall. That was easy too. Since there were no allies on the ground, I just had to let it go.
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流) Ultimate Technique (極技) Thunder Heaven Decree (雷天命).
The light of lightning filled the world.
When the light disappeared, the ground was scorched.
The swarming monsters had vanished as if erased by an eraser. There was no trace of them anywhere on the blackened ground.
Kuururururung.
Another bolt of lightning stretched within the storm clouds.
‘The power has weakened, but… I think I can use Thunder Heaven Decree one more time.’
My gaze turned to the cracks. The cracks where the demon king’s presence could be felt. I would plant a huge bolt of lightning there.
-Reverse.
The demon king’s voice echoed from the cracks in the ground.
The world reversed again. No, since it was reversed from a reversed state, it returned to its original state.
The castle descended to the ground, and the land with the huge cracks rose back to the ceiling.
‘Reversing here? Was my attack that scary?’
The storm clouds, which had suddenly fallen to the ground, scattered rapidly.
‘He’s underestimating me too much.’
Crackle.
Lightning flickered at my fingertips.
I raised my hand. All I was doing was guiding the direction. Just because it was up didn’t mean it was a direction I couldn’t choose.
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流) Ultimate Technique (極技) Thunder Heaven Decree (雷天命).
A massive bolt of lightning rose towards the cracks in the ceiling. It looked like a dragon ascending to the sky.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The ceiling shattered. Rocks and stones fell to the ground with a thud.
The storm clouds had scattered, and I barely held onto my trembling body. The backlash from using Thunder Heaven Decree twice made my body feel like it was burning.
‘The demon king….’
The demon king slowly descended from the cracks.
An overwhelming body made of dark purple gems and blue energy. A pair of wings made of energy shone brightly on the demon king’s back.
The scene of the charred monster corpses falling around him made him look divine.
‘Shit. Not a single scratch.’
But it wasn’t meaningless. The endless stream of monsters was gone now.
‘I do have full recovery, but….’
Using full recovery now would be bad.
‘Full recovery eliminates even status ailments like diseases and curses.’
If I used full recovery, I wouldn’t be a fairy anymore.
I wouldn’t be able to use the power of a fairy. In other words, I would become weaker.
I summoned Stormbreaker in the form of a sword and held it in my hand.
‘…I’ll fight the demon king up close.’
I didn’t have the confidence to win by fighting from afar with magic. It was difficult to use magic after the previous aftermath, and he had all sorts of powers.
‘I guess I have to do what I have to do.’
I steeled myself and flew towards him.
Winning wasn’t the goal. I knew I couldn’t beat the demon king in my current state. I had to hold out as long as possible until Yuria arrived.
-I didn’t expect you to be able to do this much. I had been ignoring you because you were far inferior to that woman… I’ve been hit. I acknowledge you as my rival. I will do my best to kill you.
“Don’t you remember what happened on the 50th floor? You almost died to me! And now you’re acknowledging me?”
-It wasn’t you who created that opportunity, but that woman. And even now, you are using the power of the labyrinth. You cannot defeat me with your pure power alone. But I have acknowledged you. Rejoice. There are few demons who have received my acknowledgment.
“You little shit is talking too much. Shut your mouth before I use my cheat key.”
-Your language is rough. Don’t be arrogant. You are nothing compared to that woman. That woman was calm. At the same time, she was sharp and fierce. A moment of carelessness could lead to a fatal wound. She is probably the strongest human. I cannot understand why such a woman serves you.
“This bastard. Has he always been this talkative? He’s really getting on my nerves.”
-I will not kill you. Since that woman serves you, you will be valuable as a hostage. It will be helpful when I fight that woman.
“Hostage? Damn it. Treating me like a princess… I’m going to kill you!”
Aura blades surged from the sword.
-Stop.
I stopped.
