Chapter 1620 – 1620. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
‘If they summoned demonic beasts and devils, they could easily deal with us. But why aren’t they summoning them? And why did they kill the devil trying to cross the Mana Stone Gate?’
If it was an environmental issue, it was practically resolved. The area was filled with the very corrupt mana that devils craved.
‘Is there a reason they’re choosing the difficult path over the easy one?’
What if the seemingly easy path wasn’t easy at all?
I endured the aftereffects of the Authority Storm and retraced my memories.
The original ending. Kyle, having reached the Grand Aura Master level, fought the Demon King. The Demon King was relaxed. And emotional. In the final battle, there was a description that the Demon King seemed captivated by the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.
‘The final battle in the original isn’t important. For the final battle, Kyle… moved directly to the Demon King’s castle through the Mana Stone Gate. There, Kyle didn’t encounter any devils or demonic beasts. He didn’t fight any devils except for the Demon King in the Demon King’s castle.’
The Demon King’s authority allowed him to use up to three devil authorities simultaneously.
‘There might be conditions I don’t know about for the Demon King’s authority. For example… he might only be able to use the authorities of devils in the Demon Realm. Or maybe he can only use the authorities of devils whose names he knows.’
I thought about how to kill the Demon King.
The reason the Demon King was so powerful was his authority. The authority to use devil authorities. If only I could do something about that damn cheat-like authority… it would be easier to face the Demon King.
I made up my mind.
Thunder Sky Style (雷天流) Void Path (虛道).
Stepping on the void, I ran towards the Mana Stone Gate.
“Listen up! I’m going to invade the Demon Realm and kill all the devils! If the devils die, the Demon King won’t be able to use his authority properly!”
“That’s reckless!”
Priscilla shouted.
“Don’t underestimate the devils of the Demon Realm! Devils can exert their full power in the Demon Realm! Greater devils are incomparable to ordinary devils! Stop, Eugene Prukerus!”
After seeing the Authority Storm just now, I was certain. To kill the Demon King, I had to do something about his authority. Since time was short, I had to move quickly.
“Priscilla, hold on as long as you can!”
I jumped into the Mana Stone Gate. I felt a crushing pressure that distorted my body. It wasn’t unbearable.
-I see your intention. How foolish. A human in the Demon Realm. You underestimate devils too much. I won’t bother stopping you. Do as you please. If you can.
The Demon King’s voice, mocking me, echoed.
Do as I please? Of course, I can. A trump card to face the Demon King. I planned to use it in the Demon Realm.
My body was being pulled.
Whoosh.
Arriving in the Demon Realm, I stomped my feet to maintain my balance.
‘Is this the Demon Realm? I thought it would be overflowing with corrupt mana… but it’s not. There’s barely any mana, let alone corrupt mana.’
The Mana Stone Gate pouring out corrupt mana seemed to be a different kind of mechanism.
‘Come to think of it, if corrupt mana was common in the Demon Realm, the devils wouldn’t be so crazy about it.’
The Demon Realm was desolate. The land was cracked and lifeless, and four moons hung in the pale gray sky. There were no plants in sight. The surroundings were quiet.
‘I can see why devils covet the Middle Realm. It’s boring here with nothing.’
That’s enough of my impressions. I didn’t come here to sightsee the Demon Realm. I came to kill the devils in the Demon Realm.
I took out my smartphone from my pocket and opened the Game Life app.
[Devotion]. This was the trump card I prepared to face the Demon King.
[Manifestation
Summons and recreates yourself from a desired ending world.
The duration and ability recreation of the Manifestation depend on your total stats.
Price: 10,000 points
※Caution
Recreates all applied penalties.]
‘10,000 points. I barely managed to get enough before facing the Demon King.’
I used most of the points I got from the Baekhwan world this time.
[Using Manifestation.]
[Select the version of yourself from the ending world to summon.]
The first one that came to mind was me from the [Paladin] world. Since the opponent was the Demon King and devils, I thought the Paladin’s power would be the most advantageous.
‘If I choose Paladin, I can use the Executioner’s Sword too. But… if I choose Paladin, I’ll need armor, and Stormbreaker is still being repaired.’
A Paladin fighting with only a sword and no armor. It doesn’t look cool.
‘…If I don’t consider compatibility and just look at pure power… the Gay King world isn’t bad either.’
Sex King Sung Eugene, who became the universe.
Sex King Sung Eugene was too large-scale, so I was hesitant to choose him. Becoming the universe and having sex. No matter how you look at it, isn’t that a bit of a crazy ending?
‘Even if I use Manifestation to recreate myself from an ending world, there are limitations. The abilities that are recreated depend on my total stats.’
There was an ending where I was stronger than the Paladin. It was me from the [Tyrant for You] world. In that world, I was just strong. My talent was also overwhelming. Of course, it was quite lacking compared to Yuria’s talent.
After a moment of thought, I made a decision.
‘Hmm. I used Paladin last time. Let’s go with the Tyrant this time.’
[Summoning yourself from the Tyrant for You world.]
[Manifestation will last for 90 minutes.]
[Tyrant Quality is applied.]
[Tyrant Quality is excluded from the effects of traits and Absolute Spirit.]
[Tyrant Quality will make your personality somewhat violent.]
[Tyrant Quality will greatly increase your physical abilities.]
[Tyrant Quality will grant you talent boosts.]
I lowered my head. I scanned the clothes I was wearing. I was dissatisfied with the clothes I was wearing. They felt cheap. I took out a uniform from my inventory and changed into it. I put on a red cloak over my shoulders. Was it the influence of becoming the Tyrant from the [Tyrant for You] world? Clothes that would have been uncomfortable normally felt very comfortable.
I looked up at the sky. My body floated into the air according to my will. Standing in the sky, I looked down and gauged the size of the Demon Realm.
There was a castle to the north. Judging by its size and grandeur, it was definitely the Demon King’s castle. To the south, black water flowed. To the west, there was a flat plain. To the east, there was a black mountain.
‘The Demon Realm is smaller than I thought. It’s smaller than South Korea. Maybe half that size?’
The Demon Realm was small, but it wasn’t like I could wipe it out in an hour. If you looked closely, it seemed like the devils were scattered and living separately.
‘Right now, I’m weaker than I was in the Tyrant world. There’s a limit to how much I can wipe out this Demon Realm alone.’
That’s when it happened.
I felt a gaze.
I looked up. Above the pale gray sky. What I thought was the moon was a giant eye.
-An existence from another world has come. More wicked than a devil, more autocratic than a Demon King. What are you?
“Insolent fool. How dare you look down on me. Your sin deserves death, so die.”
I summoned the Meteor Sword Heaven from my inventory and wore it on my right wrist. I flicked my right hand. A giant meteor sword was created. I controlled the meteor sword using telekinesis. The meteor sword, crackling with lightning, soared towards the giant eye.
The meteor sword flew towards the giant eye, ready to pierce it, but stopped midway.
Telekinesis. The giant eye used telekinesis to grab the meteor sword.
“Tch.”
I didn’t like it.
That giant eye, and my power, which was weaker than I thought.
Crackling.
I created lightning in my hand. The lightning elongated and changed into the form of a spear. Before I threw the compressed lightning, I asked him.
“You have enough power to talk. What is your authority?”
-Hmm. I see. You are the Demon King’s adversary. I have the authority of detection. The power to find hidden enemies.
“Is that the authority the Demon King used when he found Yuria hidden in the shadows? Lucky you. If that authority disappears, the Demon King won’t be able to find Yuria. It will be advantageous for us in battle. You have more reason to die.”
I threw the lightning spear.
The lightning spear was also caught by his telekinesis. I also used telekinesis. I resisted his telekinesis and detonated the lightning spear. Blue currents spread in all directions, aiming for the giant eye. He created a barrier with telekinesis. The current flowed along his barrier. I could see the shape of the barrier.
“I can see the size. Five will be enough.”
With a flick of my hand, four more meteor swords were created, aiming for the giant eye. The four swords stopped in mid-air. Including the existing meteor sword, a total of five swords were stopped by his telekinesis.
-Meaningless.
Mana gathered in the center of the giant eye. It looked like he was going to attack by shooting out a laser.
“It’s not over yet.”
Thunder Sky Style (雷天流) Thunder Cry (雷鳴).
A technique that resonates two or more lightning strikes with each other.
I resonated the lightning contained in the five meteor swords. Current flowed between the five meteor swords.
Tremble.
The meteor swords, caught by telekinesis, began to shake and then moved towards the giant eye.
The startled giant eye gave up its energy attack and used telekinesis to block the five meteor swords.
“I told you. I’ve grasped the size. You can’t block more than five.”
The five meteor swords resonated and advanced towards the giant eye. The tips of the swords touched the eye.
-UOOOOOOOOOOO! This can’t be…!!
The giant eye struggled and used telekinesis. Even if he poured out mana, it was meaningless. Telekinesis, which is affected by mental power, has a clear limit.
Thud!
The five swords pierced the giant eye simultaneously. A large amount of dark red blood poured out. I protected my body with telekinesis. The blood didn’t touch my body.
“With this, the Demon King won’t be able to find Yuria easily. Next is… hmm?”
Something was pulling my body towards the ground. At first, I thought it was telekinesis, but it wasn’t. It was much closer to nature.
‘Gravity.’
I looked down.
A giant worm that had popped out of the ground was waiting for me to fall, its mouth wide open.
‘A bug like that….’
Gulp.
The worm swallowed me. I frowned in the dark space. I was protecting my body with telekinesis, but the fact that I was swallowed was unpleasant.
I took out the Fire Lotus Dagger from my waist and swung it, also using lightning.
Thunder Sky Style (雷天流) Ten Thousand Thunder (卍雷).
Lightning rotated around me, searing the inside of the worm.
-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The worm screamed. The inside shook violently. The worm was definitely going crazy.
Thunder Sky Style (雷天流) Thunder Strong Blade (雷罡刃).
I cut through the worm’s body and came out. The unpleasant feeling subsided a little. I cut off the head of the worm, which was writhing in pain, and finished it off.
‘The Demon King can’t use the authority of gravity now either.’
Thinking that, the unpleasant feeling subsided a little.
I moved away from the worm’s corpse and thought.
‘Hmm. Thinking about it again, it seems difficult to completely devastate the entire Demon Realm alone in an hour. So… I need to get help from my woman.’
[Summoning a character. Target: Elena Valderte]
[Remaining summon duration for Elena Valderte: 30 days]
[The ‘God’s Atlantis’ Game World is deactivated.]
