Chapter 2110 – 2110. Ascension To The Light
The chance to kill Ban Oh was lost due to the betrayal of Guihon Heuksu. I turned my head and glared at Guihon Heuksu as if I could kill her.
“You crazy bitch!! What the hell are you doing?! Weren’t we supposed to kill Ban Oh first!”
“Kekekeke! Dealing with you all at once would be quite a burden for me. Since there’s an easy opportunity right in front of me, shouldn’t I take it? Kekeke!”
What about Seong Ji-gon?
He’s surrounded by zombies and fighting. He doesn’t seem to be in immediate danger. Seong Ji-gon’s eyebrows furrowed. He was also furious at Guihon Heuksu’s betrayal.
‘That damn hag! I can’t just kill her! I’ll cut off her limbs and make her Seong Ji-gon’s onahole! She’ll be violated by Seong Ji-gon until she dies!!’
Seong Ji-gon liked Guihon Heuksu quite a bit, but… given the situation, he’ll understand.
“Looks like you’re angry that things didn’t go your way. Did you really trust that ugly hag?”
Ban Oh sneered.
Of course, I didn’t trust her. I was planning to subdue Guihon Heuksu after killing Ban Oh. But I never expected her to stab me in the back before I even killed Ban Oh.
“…Damn it. My plan is ruined because of that stupid bitch.”
“I’ll extend my hand to you. Why don’t we kill that black-handed hag first?”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“Fuck off. Looking at you, you’re probably going to stab me in the back right away.”
“Hehe. You’re not completely stupid.”
Ban Oh kicked off the ground and charged like a bull. The bone armor he wore weighed at least several thousand pounds. That charge was like a building running at me.

I used Flash to avoid the direct collision. However, the aftermath of the charge washed over my body. I couldn’t withstand being pushed back.
Ban Oh changed direction and charged at me again.
[Using Flash(刹那). Remaining stacks: 8]
I used Flash to avoid the charge. If you ask if Ban Oh can see my movements when I use Flash and react perfectly, the answer is no. It’s true that my body becomes faster for the moment I use Flash. In a state of reckless charging, he can’t stop my movements.
[Using Flash(刹那). Remaining stacks: 7]
I dodged his charge and swung my sword.
Clang!
The Hwaryeon Bido, reinforced with qi, couldn’t even scratch his armor. It wasn’t just his resistance, but the bone armor was too thick and hard.
‘There are parts to aim for. The eyes. His two eyes aren’t protected by bone!’

Even if I dodged his charges with Flash and pushed in my counterattack, it was meaningless. Ban Oh knew better than anyone that I was aiming for his eyes.
“I can hear your tired breaths. How long can you hold out?”
There was a sneer mixed in his words.
“I think I can hold out until I take your head.”
I have one chance.
But I was hesitating. Would the black fire that burns everything be better? Or would the most familiar lightning be better? As a Heavenly Demon, black fire is good, but there was no reason not to use the Lightning Heavenly Flow.
Kwaaaang!
With a loud explosion, several zombies flew this way. Sa Ma-ryeong was dealing with the zombies using her magic, but… it seemed like she was reaching her limit. There were still over 100 zombies left.
Ban Oh ignored the flying zombies and charged at me. I also didn’t have the energy to care about the fallen zombies. I focused my concentration and focused on Ban Oh.
That was a mistake.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
A zombie exploded. I used Flash to immediately dodge. Even so, I couldn’t completely avoid the explosion. Even though I protected my body with defensive qi, I felt my insides being shaken.
What about Ban Oh, who was completely caught in the explosion? Although his bone armor was partially broken, he walked out unscathed.
‘…No. He’s not unscathed.’
Ban Oh was also limping. I could feel fatigue in his movements.
‘I’m not in a position to talk….’
I stuck my sword into the ground and forced myself to stand up. I mustered my fighting spirit once more.
Suddenly, Ban Oh turned his head. His red eyes were directed at Guihon Heuksu, not me.
“I can kill you anytime, so I’ll kill that old hag first.”
Ban Oh’s bone armor swelled up and took the form of a giant bull. The giant bone bull used its overwhelming mass as a weapon and charged at Guihon Heuksu.
“Kekekekeke! Come out!”
Guihon Heuksu took out the zombies she had been saving from her spatial storage. The unusual zombies pushed us back. In this battle, anyone could see that Guihon Heuksu was the victor. She herself was confident in her victory. The reason Ban Oh changed his target was because Guihon Heuksu was dangerous.
A few zombies rushed at me.
Heavenly Demon Sword(天魔神劍) Flash Slash(擊閃).
I slashed and cut down a few zombies. Ordinary zombies were nothing compared to Ban Oh.
‘The situation is… not good. Sa Ma-ryeong, who was covering the battlefield, is also getting tired, and Seong Ji-gon is almost going berserk. All I have left is one shot.’
Ban Oh was full of life. I wondered why, and it turned out he was absorbing the bones of the zombies that couldn’t move.
‘Should I use the light of the Heavenly Gang Star?’
I gave up on that idea.
After using the light of the Heavenly Gang Star, I become incredibly exhausted. It’s not like I can reverse the situation by using the light of the Heavenly Gang Star.
“Kekekekekeke! This is my greatest masterpiece, the Diamond Zombie!”
Guihon Heuksu’s triumphant laughter echoed. Looking ahead, a zombie was blocking Ban Oh’s charge head-on. A single zombie had done something even I had difficulty doing. The name Diamond Zombie was not wasted.
‘Guihon Heuksu is not ordinary either.’
Woong.
Suddenly, the space rippled. Was it Guihon Heuksu or Ban Oh’s doing? Looking at them, they were flustered.
“Great heroes! Come this way! We will be forcibly moved to the next space! We must be together!”
Sa Ma-ryeong shouted. There was no reason to hesitate. I was about to run to Sa Ma-ryeong right away.
“That woman! That woman has a hidden trick! Do you think I wouldn’t know?! You must kill that woman!”
Guihon Heuksu pointed at Sa Ma-ryeong and shouted. It just looked like an old hag was jealous of the young and beautiful Sa Ma-ryeong.
The zombies rushed towards Sa Ma-ryeong. Sa Ma-ryeong gritted her teeth and swung her right arm. As if in response, the ground flipped over and covered the zombies. However, a zombie with a completely red body broke through the flipped ground and rushed straight towards Sa Ma-ryeong.
Sa Ma-ryeong, already exhausted, had no means to stop the red zombie. Sa Ma-ryeong tightly gripped the spatial storage in her arms.

I used all of my Flash stacks to block the red zombie.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art(天魔神功) Dragon Fist(竜拳).
I punched the red zombie’s head with my fist. The zombie’s head exploded. There was no brain in the zombie’s head. There were no bones either. It was just full of blood.
The zombie’s exploded head returned as if time had been reversed.
“Kekeke. This is the true Blood Zombie. Do you think it would be defeated by that attack? Blood Zombies never die!”
It was a troublesome zombie. If I saved my strength here, it seemed like things would get even worse.
Heavenly Demon Divine Art(天魔神功) Black Flame Demonic Dragon(黑炎魔龍).
Hwarrrr. Black flames spread to the Blood Zombie’s body. The blood that made up the Blood Zombie began to slowly evaporate.
The Blood Zombie attacked without caring that its body was burning. I drew my sword and faced it.
As I showed off my fluid swordsmanship and cut the Blood Zombie in half, I saw other zombies running towards Sa Ma-ryeong. There was also Ban Oh’s bone spear aiming for Sa Ma-ryeong. They had quietly decided to kill Sa Ma-ryeong first.
“Clan Leader Sa!”
I jumped up and blocked the flying bone spear with my sword. Crack. My right arm broke. The bone spear fell to the ground, then suddenly accelerated, aiming for Sa Ma-ryeong’s head. I gritted my teeth and blocked the bone spear with my left arm. My left arm was torn off, but I saved Sa Ma-ryeong.
“…Great hero.”
Sa Ma-ryeong’s eyes trembled. I tried to give her a smile, but… my legs gave out.
I remembered that a zombie’s fingernails had dug into my ankle. It wouldn’t be strange if there was poison on those fingernails.
“Clan Leader Sa! Please flee! The zombies are attacking!”
“…I have no choice. I have no choice but to retreat for now….”
She grabbed my collapsed shoulder and moved into the rippling space. We left the battlefield like that.
• • •
Seong Ji-gon confirmed that Sa Ma-ryeong and Seong Yu-jin had disappeared into the space. The zombies that were chasing after them stopped in front of the rippling space. Then, they turned and ran towards Ban Oh.
‘That’s good. If I was a little later, Yu-jin would have been in danger. Yu-jin is in too much of a strained state right now.’
Ban Oh, who Seong Yu-jin had been fighting, was also exhausted. The most dangerous person here right now was Guihon Heuksu.
Seong Ji-gon was relatively safe. The zombies that surrounded him were all weak. The most ignored existence in this battle was Seong Ji-gon. There was no special reason. Unlike Guihon Heuksu and Ban Oh, he was only at the Fifth Realm of Qi.
Seong Ji-gon suppressed his presence and waited for an opportunity. He fiddled with the spatial storage in his arms. He also had a trump card.
Ban Oh and Guihon Heuksu began to fight as if they were going to settle things here. Ban Oh absorbed the bones of the zombies in reverse, and Guihon Heuksu’s vulgar laughter gradually disappeared.
“Diamond Zombie! Blood Zombie! Ice Zombie! Soul-Locking Zombie!”
Guihon Heuksu took out all of her trump card zombies. Finally, the tide of battle became similar. Guihon Heuksu’s mind was completely focused on Ban Oh.
It was an opportunity.
Seong Ji-gon took out a magical artifact from his spatial storage. It was a memento left by one of his dead lovers. It was a small arrow, not even half the size of his palm.
Flash Arrow(閃光矢).
Without hesitation, Seong Ji-gon fired the Flash Arrow at Guihon Heuksu. His body was sucked into the Flash Arrow. The Flash Arrow pierced Guihon Heuksu’s shoulder, and Seong Ji-gon appeared next to her. Seong Ji-gon immediately snatched Guihon Heuksu’s staff.
Guihon Heuksu, caught off guard, staggered and shouted.
“Huk! D, don’t interfere! You bastard!!”
“Guihon Heuksu. You’re coming with me.”
Seong Ji-gon grabbed Guihon Heuksu’s body and ran into the rippling space. Soon, his body disappeared.
The zombies, having lost their master, went berserk and began to rampage.
“…Tsk.”
Ban Oh clicked his tongue and threw himself into the rippling space.
