Chapter 1838 – 1838. Ascending To The Light
“Kyaaaaaaaaak!”
A woman’s scream came from the detached building. Milyoung was in the detached building. Logically, it wouldn’t make sense for Milyoung to scream, so it must be the maids.
‘Did Milyoung decide to kill the maids? Considering the text message she sent earlier… things have gone wrong.’
I clicked my tongue and moved my hips quickly. My dick was going in and out of the head of the family’s daughter’s pussy at an incredible speed. Then, I came inside her pussy.
I pulled my dick out and shook it in the air. The vaginal fluids and semen on my dick splattered everywhere. I wiped my dick clean with a clean cloth and put on my clothes. After taking what I needed, I opened the window and jumped outside. I smashed the window of the detached building, which was a little smaller than the main building, and went inside.
I saw Milyoung, a man who had died with his throat torn out, and maids who had burned to death. It seemed the screams were from the maids. I could roughly guess what happened. This man wasn’t someone Milyoung called, but someone the head of the family called to sow discord.
“There are still two days left. Are you already trying to end it?”
“Husband. They crossed the line. And we’ve already enjoyed what we wanted to enjoy and taken everything we needed, right? Let’s wrap things up.”
We enjoyed everything, but… I still felt a little regret. A city with a population of 2 million. Even if only 1% of them were beautiful, that’s still 20,000 people. If half of them are women, that’s 10,000 beauties. It’s impossible to fuck 10,000 beauties in a week, but I still want to fuck as many as I can.
But Milyoung was angry. Come to think of it, I was angry too. How dare they try to sow discord between me and Milyoung, not knowing their place.
“Should we kill the head of the family first?”
“Yes. And let’s burn down the East House completely before we leave. It’s better if they don’t exist.”
“I’ll spare the head of the family’s wife and daughter. They’re pregnant with my child.”
“Did you perhaps develop feelings for them?”
“It’s not like that. I might come back and fuck them again later. They’re beautiful too.”
“…I don’t think they’ll give birth. And even if they do, I don’t think they’ll raise them properly.”
“Well, they have their maternal family, so they’ll take care of it, right? Anyway, if the East House is destroyed, they won’t even dream of revenge. And they don’t know what you or I look like.”
“Hmm…. As you wish, husband.”
“Like I said before, let’s start with the head of the family…. Where is the head of the family? I told them to kill his brothers and sons.”
“He’s still inside the barrier. The three messengers who went outside the barrier are the only ones who left.”
That’s when it happened. I heard a very grating sound in my ear.
“――――――――”
It was a sound like metal scraping against metal, a sound that made you feel bad just by hearing it. The sound came from outside the family’s grounds.
“What kind of bastard is making that noise?”
The unpleasant metallic sound made me instantly annoyed. I glanced at Milyoung. Being a fox, she was sensitive to sounds. She must be even more annoyed than I was.
My expectations were wrong. Instead of an annoyed expression, she had a serious look on her face.
“This is magic.”
“This metallic sound?”
“It’s a curse that’s put into sound. It can restrict the listener’s movements, control their minds, or even give the sound itself physical power. But this isn’t that.”
“Are they trying to control our minds?”
“No. There’s no way they could control our minds with such a simple curse. The target of the curse probably isn’t us.”
“――――――――”
The metallic sound rang out again. This time, I could tell where the sound was coming from.
[Opening the Heavenly Eye.]
I used the Heavenly Eye to check the source of the sound. There was an old woman. She was playing a black flute. She was an old woman with a nasty appearance.
I looked at the old woman and waved my right hand up and down.
Whoooooooosh.
Lightning energy left my body and went up into the sky. Immediately after, lightning struck the old woman. The old woman couldn’t avoid the lightning and was electrocuted to death.
“The old woman playing the flute is dead.”
“That’s a relief. But I guess the preparations were already finished.”
I understood the meaning of Milyoung’s words a little later. City citizens with weapons were popping up everywhere and advancing towards the East House. They all looked like they had gone crazy, with angry faces.
“Did they control the commoners with magic?”
“Yes. Judging by the level of magic, it’s temporary. They’ll probably try to kill us even if it means sacrificing their own lives. What should we do?”
There were several options. The easiest thing to do was to run away. If Milyoung used teleportation, it would be easy to get out of this city. It would take some time for the teleportation to be completed, but it wouldn’t be difficult.
“I don’t like it.”
Whether it was the head of the family who sowed discord or the bastards who were trying to kill us because of the curse. I didn’t like any of them.
“We can block them with the barrier, right?”
“It’s difficult. It’s not that strong of a barrier. And… look. The East House’s warriors are attacking the barrier.”
I looked down and saw the masters of the Five Qi Realm attacking with all their might. They were making decisions way too quickly. They must have known about the commoners’ advance beforehand. In other words, this was also part of the East House’s plan, along with the discord.
“Hmm. It looks like there are at least 500,000. This is… dangerous. 500,000 is too many. Let’s just quickly kill the head of the family and run away.”
“No, I’m going to kill the head of the family and those bastards too. I don’t avoid a fight that’s been brought to me.”
I took the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger out of my inventory. I swung the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger a few times in the air and raised the corners of my mouth.
“A bunch of weaklings are still weaklings, no matter how many of them there are.”
“Uh… are you really going to do it?”
“Yeah. I’m going to test out the Heavenly Demon Divine Art I got this time.”
“…Haa. I guess there’s no helping it. I’ll help you from behind. Do whatever you want.”
I used the Heavenly Eye to look around inside the East House.
I found the head of the family. He was hiding in the shadows of the wall, waiting for the commoners to come. It seemed he was planning to use the commoners to drain my strength.
‘I won’t let that happen.’
I was about to run to kill the head of the family, but I stopped. If I killed the head of the family now, wouldn’t it be too easy? I wanted the head of the family to suffer.
‘Let’s kill the head of the family’s family first. Then the head of the family will suffer.’
I looked around and saw the head of the family’s youngest son hiding in the warehouse. It was clear that he was planning to run away as soon as Milyoung’s barrier broke.
I lightly kicked off the ground and ran towards the warehouse.
‘Is the distance a little short?’
Thunder Sky Style (雷天流) Void Path (虛道).
I stepped on the air and moved forward, then fell towards the warehouse.
I broke through the roof and killed two warriors. The head of the family’s youngest son was startled and took a step back, then gritted his teeth and raised his sword at me.
“Y-you, you, demonic bastard!!”
“Look at this ill-mannered brat.”
“I will never, ever forgive you!!”
The boy ran at me. He was from a martial arts family, so his stance was decent. Of course, he was still a weakling.
Heavenly Demon Divine Sword (天魔神劍) Flash Strike (擊閃).
I swung my sword, which was covered in demonic energy, in the air. The demonic energy became a slash and flew towards the boy, cutting him diagonally from his shoulder to his waist.
I grabbed the boy’s head, who had fallen to the ground, and threw it into the sky.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The head of the family screamed, seeing his son’s corpse. I chuckled and came out of the warehouse.
‘I’ll kill the head of the family last.’
I decided to kill the closest bastards first. I started killing the hidden servants and warriors using the Heavenly Eye.
Heavenly Demon Divine Sword (天魔神劍) Flash Strike (擊閃).
I sent a black slash towards a warrior of the Five Qi Realm. The warrior widened his eyes and swung his sword at the slash I sent. A blue slash flew towards me. He had countered my slash with a slash. But the Flash Strike easily broke through the enemy’s slash and cut the warrior to death.
‘This is the difference in slashes.’
The Thunder Sky Style has a similar slash technique called Thunder Flash (雷閃). What would happen if a Flash Strike and a Thunder Flash, using the same amount of energy, collided? The Flash Strike would break through the Thunder Flash and move forward. However, the Thunder Flash is faster than the Flash Strike. It’s not a difference in power, but a difference in characteristics.
‘The Heavenly Demon Divine Art I got this time is focused on power. Especially the swordsmanship. So much so that it’s called the Heavenly Demon Divine Sword.’
The Heavenly Demon Divine Art I got this time was about power. Only power. It felt like nothing else mattered.
‘And there are a few techniques related to the soul.’
Among them, there was a technique that I could never use. A technique that I couldn’t understand how it was created.
-Husband. The barrier is broken.
Milyoung’s voice echoed in my head. It wasn’t telepathy. It was a kind of telepathy.
As she said, I could feel the invisible wall surrounding the East House collapsing.
“There he is!”
“Kill him! Kill him!”
“We have to kill that bastard! Because… because we have to!”
The commoners were approaching me, emitting killing intent. I could feel their anger, hatred, and madness. They weren’t holding proper weapons. Some were holding farming tools, some were holding kitchen knives, and some were holding woks. Ridiculously, some were holding wooden brooms.
“You bugs. Do you think you can do anything by gathering together?”
I gripped my sword. I infused the red blade of the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger with black demonic energy. It looked like black water was appearing in the air and being absorbed into the sword.
Heavenly Demon Divine Sword (天魔神劍) Demonic Calamity (魔劫).
It was half-baked. The real Demonic Calamity had to contain one’s existence and mind. I had only infused the sword with demonic energy as if I was imitating it.
‘At this rate, it’s no different from a normal sword aura.’
But even this was more than enough to kill them. It was like using a butcher’s knife to cut bugs.
‘Well, this is practice.’
So I was going to do it properly.
I rummaged through my memories. When I absorbed the 13 Heavenly Demons, it wasn’t just their Heavenly Demon Divine Art that entered me. Some of their memories also entered me. Well, their memories didn’t give me any feelings.
But there were some memories that were worth referencing. The memories of the first Heavenly Demon, for example.
The first Heavenly Demon, who was born with the energy of the Dark Star (地暗星), could use the power of the stars as he pleased. And the power of the Dark Star was mass. The first Heavenly Demon controlled the mass of energy, not the sword.
I swung the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger at them.
『Using the light of the Heavenly Star.』
『Dark Star (地暗星).』
The light of the Heavenly Star was a power that allowed one to temporarily use the power of other stars. The mass of energy that suddenly increased during the swing became power itself.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
A huge shockwave exploded and swept away the commoners who were running towards me. The ones closest to me had their bones and flesh crushed, and the aftermath spread out behind them. Those who were hit by the shockwave had their bodies destroyed and were blown away.
At least 500 meters. That was the distance the shockwave had spread. There was only a trace of blood in front of me. I think at least 5,000 people died from this one blow.
I was feeling proud.
Crack.
I heard an ominous sound from the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger. I looked at the blade of the Fire Lotus Flying Dagger with trembling eyes.
The crack that was originally there had grown more than three times larger. I was shocked and shouted in a mournful voice.
“Fire Lotus Flying Daggerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!”
