Chapter 179
**The Twenty-Fifth Form of the Danak Sword Art – Uihye Eunsan.**
**The ultimate principle of the Danak Sword Art I have created is, in truth, impossible to classify as mere pure martial arts.**
The first half of the Danak Sword Art—from stance 1 to stance 12—combined basic basic forms so that the movements and techniques of martial arts could unleash maximum power.
It began with the horizontal cut of Wolak, the downward slash of Ibsan, the upward slash of Deungmaek, and culminated in the Twelfth One-Hour Sunrise Peak of stance 12, itself a form based on countless thrusts.
Each stance in the first half of the Danak Sword Art was a technique requiring precise execution, but rather than the forms themselves being complicated, it was the connections that mattered most—the linking of one stance to the next.
And then came the second half of the Danak Sword Art, stances 13 to 24, which were specialized forms for wielding the Sword Qi generated from the first half, sensing the convergence of intent and the enemy, and relying on combat experience.
Especially stance 22, the Danak, was a form that struck everything from stances 1 through 21 at the opponent, so it only made sense if every stance landed a solid hit on them.
Because of that, it demanded an extreme ability to sense the convergence of intent and the enemy.
Stances 23 and 24, Mountain Beyond Mountain Is Endless and Uihye Eunsan, required one to use intent to measure the opponent's strength and one's own physical condition.
The first half of the Danak Sword Art I had used until now was precise basic technique and connections between basic techniques.
The second half focused on how to use the Sword Qi created from basic techniques, the convergence of intent, and combat experience.
And then I created the Twenty-Fifth Form beyond the second half of the Danak Sword Art.
I closed my eyes and deeply contemplated the essence of the new form I had created.
"I poured everything I had into that single cut at that time."
I had followed the one-cut of the Heavenly Venerable and created it.
It was the extreme one-cut in which I followed his strike and poured all the power I possessed into it.
If Uihye Eunsan gathered tiny amounts of power in my body and relentlessly pushed the enemy,
Uihye Eunsan was an attack that squeezed the power gathered in my body to its extreme limit and spat it out in a single final blow.
Then was the essence of Uihye Eunsan a one-hit kill?
"No."
The essence of Uihye Eunsan was not that.
As I made the Twenty-Fifth Form, I gathered the enlightenment I had reflected upon while my eyes were closed and focused my consciousness.
"The essence of Uihye Eunsan is… integration."
The essence was not squeezing power to the extreme.
It was compressing the power to the extreme, unifying all the countless miscellaneous powers I had built within that pressure, and launching it.
The essence of the form called Uihye Eunsan was to unify them inside the pressure and strike.
Therefore, as long as I maintained the integration, I could reproduce the single cut I had just made at any time.
"Integrate."
The basic laws of all Five Elements Blood Curse Flags.
The flow of all laws I had understood through Pre-Sense and Post-Comprehension.
Then the Eumhon Gwijumun, the Cheonrin Suhaeseong, the Gyeoto Jangseongong…
The rhythms and flows of the various martial techniques brushed against my mind.
When I first used Uihye Eunsan, the enlightenment came in a rush and I could unfold it all at once.
But without that sudden enlightenment, I would eventually have to unravel every martial technique's flow myself and unify it.
"Still… I learned quite a few Earth-attribute martial techniques."
The Eumhon Gwijumun was a martial technique created from the Kun Trigram that symbolized the Taiyin among the Bagua.
And the Kun Trigram ultimately corresponded to Earth among the Five Elements.
The Dragon Vein Qi Gong I learned in my lifetime as a martial artist was also Earth-attribute.
The first Sui Dao martial technique I learned was the Jiyue Lidongjing.
The Eumhon Gwijumun was also Earth-attribute.
The Gyeoto Jangseongong was also Earth-attribute.
The Geunma Yongganggwon changed attributes according to the guiding law, but since my Colorless Glass Sword was made of desert sand, it was strictly speaking also Earth-attribute.
The Cheonrin Suhaeseong was, at least, Wood-attribute, and the Baekran Chukseongmun also carried Wood-attribute power under the influence of the Cheonrin Suhaeseong, but since it was ultimately born from the Eumhon Gwijumun, it mixed in Earth-attribute.
"Why… am I so connected to Earth?"
Then the center of integration was truly the Earth.
Countless martial technique rhythms.
The Five Elements Blood Curse Flag, the Ohaeng Jangwonjeon, the other attribute martial techniques—
They all gathered around the core of Earth-attribute qi.
Earth was originally the center of the Five Elements.
Even just looking at the directions the Five Elements represented, there was no reason it wouldn't hold the center.
Whoosh!
The yellow qi symbolizing Earth rose from my entire body.
I remembered the saying that heaven is black and earth is yellow.
All Earth is yellow.
One thing: I gathered the yellow qi, closed one eye, and focused my consciousness even more.
Glass.
Melt the Earth and refine it into clean glass.
Accelerate and temper the qi to its extreme.
Compress the consciousness, merge the consciousness at the level of the soul with the qi at the level of energy.
Zzzt!
The Invisible Sword appeared in my hand.
And just as the colorless of the Invisible Sword spread like a contagion, it dyed the surrounding yellow qi transparent.
But originally having no color at all meant it could become any color.
"Let's go."
I infused everything I held in my consciousness.
Not just consciousness, but everything.
The Sword that I had unfolded once when I reached the level of the Original Spirit, as if it held the Milky Way—
It appeared in my hand.
Perhaps from the moment I reached the realm of the Original Spirit, I had caught the first thread of Uihye Eunsan.
The colorless Sword transformed into a Milky Way Sword that contained the total natural color of all stars and all things in the world.
It was as if the starry sky was in my hand.
And as I gazed once more at that starry sky, I was finally able to completely establish the enlightenment of Uihye Eunsan.
"A single cut that infused the soul."
The form of Uihye Eunsan.
Its essence was one's own soul.
Or, after infusing one's Original Spirit into the Sword, it was a fatal one-cut that converged all one's power inside the Original Spirit spanning the two levels of qi and soul.
Since I was holding my own soul, if Uihye Eunsan failed, I would collapse my Original Spirit and die at that very moment.
It was a single gamble in which I risked everything I had.
Uihye Eunsan was a one-cut so dangerous it was incomparable!
"Uihye Eunsan!!"
I thrust the one-cut toward In-yeon and sharpened my mind with my life's will.
I became the Sword and plunged into her.
I understood.
Through the knowledge of Pre-Sense and Post-Comprehension I had learned, I could leave behind the enlightenment of Pre-Sense and Post-Comprehension in the opponent's mindscape.
I could leave behind the enlightenment of martial arts.
I could give the enlightenment of puppet circuits.
I could give the enlightenment of the emotions I felt.
I could bless with Baekran Chukseong and curse with Eumhon Gwiju.
Whoosh!
In an instant I had "entered" her mindscape.
With the vision of Woldo Dacheon, I did not simply observe the opponent's mindscape.
I naturally infiltrated the opponent's mindscape as if I were entering my own!
Crack-crack!
I entered the source of countless colors.
And the next moment.
I saw an unimaginably beautiful scene.
The human body is a mini-universe, isn't it?
Then what about the human heart?
The human heart could also be called an Unlimited Heart Heaven, could it not?
It was like a universe filled with stars.
"This is… the surface mindscape of In-yeon,"
The human mindscape is divided into a large surface mindscape and a core mindscape inside it.
And the area I had entered was the surface mindscape.
Those who reached the level of the Supreme Intent could see the minds of others.
Why?
Because the "mindscape" seen by those who reached the level of the Supreme Intent was originally the deepest area of a human being.
And those who reached the level of the Supreme Intent integrated their own essential mindscape, which was the deepest, with the surface mindscape.
Since they themselves had no reservations, they could properly see others' mindscapes.
Those were the ones who had reached the level of the Supreme Intent.
However, ordinary people had to pass through the surface mindscape to enter the mindscape so deeply.
Perhaps, if the disciple was at the level of Sachuk or higher and had a healthy consciousness, they might attempt to block the intrusion of Uihye Eunsan.
But I had entered her inside without any hindrance.
And because it was the surface mindscape, which had no protection for consciousness,
As I entered her mindscape, I could feel something.
"This is…"
A pinkish-red thought brushed past me.
I was a beam of pure white light flying through her consciousness like a universe, so the passing thoughts did not concern me greatly.
But if similar thoughts brushed past me endlessly, even without paying attention, there was nothing I could do about it.
"I love you."
In the universe where stars of total natural color floated,
As I moved deeper toward the center of the star-filled consciousness, I felt the pinkish-red stars gradually increase in number.
"Manager, hello! This is the new junior employee Kim Yeon!"
"Manager, what should I do with this?"
"Ah, you mean you can enter? Thank you."
"Ahaha, you say the manager is being harsh? I don't like that person either. Wait, is that exaggeration?"
"What blood type? Oh, it's A like me?"
"Senior Seo is really nice, right? She's like an angel."
"Whoa, Senior Seo gets confused with Excel too? I get confused by it too. Should I ask Senior Hyeseo?"
"What? I heard you don't get along with Senior Hyeseo lately? Hahaha…. Ah. But it's lunchtime, what should we eat?"
"Hehe, Tangsuyuk is best eaten with hands…. Ah, Manager eats Tangsuyuk too? I guess there's something to it."
It was impossible to examine every memory in detail.
But the voices coming from the stars came through in fragments.
I listened to the fragmentary voices and moved even deeper inward.
And at some point.
I reached the center of a galaxy where countless stars gathered.
Countless consciousnesses and emotions.
The place where the happiest emotions among them gathered.
There were seven gates to entering the human heart.
And the method I had reached seemed to be the gate that governed love.
Just crossing this gate would lead to her internal mindscape.
It was the place that housed her essence.
Suddenly, before I jumped into her internal mindscape,
I looked back at some kind of mirage that had brushed past her consciousness.
Flutter…
"Ah…"
I remembered.
There was an incident where, during a spring day at the company, I had gone on a business trip to a botanical garden because of related work.
Kim Yeon had finished all the business trip work and was walking with someone in the botanical garden streets.
The someone had been greatly idealized by her emotions and remained beautifully in my memory.
The two stood in front of an apple tree and looked at the tree for a moment.
"By the way, do you like any flowers?"
She asked the idealized someone curiously.
The idealized someone pointed at the apple tree and said.
"…Yes. Does your manager have any flowers she likes?"
"I…"
She pondered for a moment, then spoke as if embarrassed.
"I remember at that time…"
I smiled bitterly while recalling that memory.
When I thought about what she had said then, it was basically a confession.
I had been too stupid to notice it.
"Sorry."
I was such a pathetic man that even a confession was noticed too late.
"Still, please forgive me."
Crack!
The center of the galaxy.
I jumped past the pinkish-red light clusters and reached her mindscape, smiling.
"Even now, I will deliver that answer."
I entered the passage toward her mindscape.
But the passage was clogged with something slimy and dirty.
It smelled of blood and filth.
The seal of the Venerable.
"Cut it."
Zzzt!
I became the Sword.
My soul was refined into a Sword and cut straight through the obstacle in front of me.
Ordinary consciousness techniques could never break it so easily.
But as I had entered this place directly with my own soul as stake, I could cut it as easily as I wished.
It crumbled like dust.
The seal dispersed within her consciousness and became one with her spirit.
And the moment the seal disappeared, I felt a strong resistance from her mindscape.
The sealed consciousness was being released, trying to expel the foreign substance that was me.
"Got it."
She was now free from the seal.
I naturally bounced out from inside her consciousness.
At that moment.
"Eh?"
Between her consciousnesses, in the memory scene right before falling in the Deungsunhyang, there was a being that had been in a giant jade box.
* * *
Crackle!
I felt a sharp pain and a headache at the same time I noticed blood flowing from my nose.
It felt like a long time had passed in the consciousness world, but only two blinks of time had passed since I had used the Uihye Eunsan form.
In real time, it was a mere instant.
Yet in that instant, I felt something like blood pressure pushing in from inside, as if something had gone to her upper abdomen.
"Why is my nose bleeding suddenly?"
I had naturally exited the consciousness world thanks to the resistance the enemy's consciousness gave.
"No, that's funny."
Cough!
A huge sense of exhaustion filled my whole body.
It felt like all my life force had been squeezed out.
No, that was accurate.
I had infused my Original Spirit into the Sword, converged the power of the two levels into the Original Spirit at the two levels, infused all my power inside the Original Spirit that spanned the two levels, and then unfolded the one-cut.
My consciousness was strained, and of course my body was too.
"Consciousness…"
I had launched two one-cuts that risked not just my life but my very soul.
The tension eased and I fell forward.
And.
Soft hands caught me.
They hugged me and pushed my body back.
"…Thank you, Eun-hyun oppa."
The woman wearing pinkish-red armor smiled while hugging me.
I moved my lips and looked at her.
Whoosh!
Like the Ohaeng Hyeoljubeon,
The seal that had been sealing her spirit until just now seemed to have been suppressed by her in turn due to the one-cut, and it appeared to be manifesting according to her will.
Flash!
A brand-new pure white circular ring appeared above her head, like a Western crown.
"…Yeon, ah…"
"Yes, I know."
Whoosh!
The white consciousness threads quickly passed through my head, and through the consciousness threads I planted my intention in her.
Resolve shone in her eyes.
"We'll end this war now."
She hugged me with one arm.
She raised the other arm.
"Something… changed."
I thought while looking at the woman hugging me.
Kim Yeon had changed a little from the one I knew.
Was it simply because she had turned the seal over to her?
Or because the consciousness technique that had been acting as the seal had amplified her consciousness?
Or was it because, unlike the thousand years she had spent with Goe-gun, she was living in a place where her consciousness was more stabilized?
Various thoughts brushed against my mind.
But from the light in her eyes as she looked at me again, I could understand something.
"…I see."
Just as I had seen countless emotions when I entered her mindscape.
Perhaps she had looked into my emotions a little.
When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back at you.
If you looked into someone, perhaps you had to be prepared to be seen by that someone as well.
"You looked into my heart too."
"Thank you, oppa."
Kim Yeon smiled brightly and clenched her fist.
"Because you liked me."
The white consciousness threads converged on her hand.
The seal that the Venerable's left hand had placed had become a crown and shone, further maximizing the power of consciousness.
I could see it.
The consciousness at the soul level was overflowing so hugely that it affected the energy level as well.
Crack!
The ceiling of the underground chamber under Gongryeong-ji tore away as is.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out and the countless battlefields still unfolding entered my vision.
Boom!
Far away, the Venerable's left hand pierced by the spear of "Her" and collapsing was visible.
The battlefield was heading toward its end.
Jeon Myeong-hoon also could not hold out against Goe-gon's breakthrough tactic and, the moment he was released from the seal, he seemed to have been sealed again by the puppets.
And Goe-gon's gaze was directed at us below.
"Oh ho, who is this? My disciple! Yes, my beloved disciple. This body is Kim Yeon, disciple of Jo Yeon! I received a letter from that guy clinging to you! You finally decided to fulfill my wish? Yeon-ah! Oh, my disciple! Good! Good, good, good good good good good good! Let's see if you can handle it! If the result is unsatisfactory, I'll smash that guy's head into the body of Lord Seo, who I had remodeled to the extreme of Sachuk just now!!"
I looked at Goe-gun, who was shouting like a silent scream while being hugged by In-yeon.
We silently exchanged our thoughts and hearts.
Because I had entered deeply inside once before,
Our minds communicated even better.
And we silently reached toward the sky.
Toward the Wondrous Castle.
"…Let's start."
"Yes."
I and she extended our hands toward the strange world.
And without anyone going first, we extended our consciousness and shouted.
"Mysterious!"
"Completed Intent!"
In an instant the two consciousnesses of the two people unraveled like threads and spread out in all directions.
And the consciousness of the two people who touched the body of the Wondrous Castle began to control the Wondrous Castle.
"Hyok!?"
Goe-gun's eyes widened.
Hiiiiing!
"Activate, poison of Lord Seo!"
The influence of Lord Seo inside the Wondrous Castle began to rampage.
A short instant.
The command system of the Wondrous Castle was paralyzed, and I used the gap to quickly place my consciousness at various points in the Wondrous Castle.
As my consciousness spread out and guided the way, Kim Yeon's consciousness followed behind and slowly took control of the Wondrous Castle.
Compared to my previous life, my realm was lacking, but the spiritual technique the Venerable's left hand had given me.
And with her consciousness, which was far more stable, she began to control the Wondrous Castle almost as much as in her previous life.
"Ah…"
And Goe-gun, with an ethereal expression, looked at the Wondrous Castle, then threw the golden pill of Jeon Myeong-hoon, which he had just sealed and was holding in his hand.
He quickly entered the Wondrous Castle, and the "Her" who had completely cleared the Venerable's left hand followed him into the Wondrous Castle.
It was something I had already activated with In-yeon in my previous life.
Kim Yeon did not understand it properly yet, but I guided her consciousness and naturally led her to Yeon-ui Yeon.
Unlike in my previous life, she did not worry about draining all her power into Yeon-ui Yeon.
With my current ability, I could cut the connection between her and Yeon-ui Yeon with an Invisible Sword.
And finally.
Flash!
A cold light burst from the Wondrous Castle and Goe-gon's final puppet show was activated.
The appearing puppet master was Goe-gun himself, and the operator was his disciple Kim Yeon.
Yeon-ui Yeon had manifested.
Whoosh!
"I…"
I did not know what shape a complete Wondrous Castle would take when Yeon-ui Yeon was activated.
In my previous life, the Yeon-ui Yeon I had activated had been unfolded on a completely broken Wondrous Castle.
"…Honestly."
Kim Yeon smiled bitterly.
In the center of the Wondrous Castle, Goe-gun was extracting his own life force while completing Yeon-ui Yeon.
Kim Yeon's power was also being sucked in, but compared to the puppet master who became the puppet master directly from inside, he was pulling less power.
"How beautiful. Really, it doesn't suit a madman."
"…Perhaps."
I activated the Strange Star-Mind Scroll with her and looked at the Wondrous Castle shining brightly in front of me.
The Wondrous Castle was shining more brilliantly than anything I had ever seen.
"Even at that moment, he might not have gone mad."
The consciousness of the fake souls that had not been revealed until now appeared and flickered.
And those souls circled around the Wondrous Castle in spirals.
All the light of the Wondrous Castle spiraled.
It looked as if it were drawing a Milky Way and being sucked into the center.
And in the center of the Milky Way, golden consciousness meaning joy.
Through the Wondrous Castle it was being brilliantly expressed visibly.
The tree.
It was a golden tree.
Whoosh!
The golden qi spread throughout the Wondrous Castle, overflowing and even reaching outside the Wondrous Castle.
And the sight was as if the golden branches were spreading out in all directions, as if to encircle the Wondrous Castle.
"That tree…"
I had seen it before.
It was clearly the same shape as the rotten ancient tree that existed in Goe-gon's mindscape.
But unlike that ancient tree that was decaying, the golden tree that decorated the final moment of Jo Yeon shone brilliantly.
The branches were thin.
No leaves or flowers bloomed on the tree.
But I felt as if those thin branches were holding up the sky.
Perhaps the leaves and flowers of that tree were themselves the unpredictable sky.
Music flowed from inside the tree.
The Double Fan Dance.
The Double Fan Dance originally also served as a guardian song to soothe the souls of people who had been taken by sea serpents.
While listening to the Dirge of the Golden Center that echoed from the golden center, everyone looked at the Wondrous Castle.
The Venerable's left hand and Jeon Myeong-hoon had fallen asleep under Goe-gon's power.
The urgent fire had all been put out and now it was time to rest.
Hyeon-un, the greedy monks who had exploited the other races, the ones who had moved only for their own gain.
Evil ones, or good ones.
All of them, without discrimination, breathed heavily while listening to the Dirge.
I turned my body with difficulty in my exhausted state and looked back.
Everyone I had tried to protect had died tragically at the hands of the Venerable's power.
The righteousness I had protected was cruelly trampled by an unstoppable violence.
All the meaning I had raised had now disappeared.
Yet.
"Goodbye."
I have no regrets.
"The short time I spent with you…"
If it has no meaning, what does it matter.
I will give it meaning.
I will remember you and honor you.
Even if I gain nothing, I will use this time as nourishment and grow even more in the future.
So all of you.
"I will never forget."
It was truly grateful.
In the Dirge, I closed my eyes while recalling the precious people I had lost.
And so.
All that had happened in the Demon Realm had come to an end.
* * *
Boom!
Kim Yeon and I sat on the peak of the Wondrous Castle and let the Demon Realm wind wash over us.
The Wondrous Castle was now hers.
"Her" did not move anymore after activating Yeon-ui Yeon.
Kim Yeon and I buried the corpses of Jo Yeon and "Her" beside Gongryeong-ji, then headed toward the Gwangryeong Realm leading the Wondrous Castle.
Countless surviving human race remnants also followed us.
With Kim Yeon as her subordinate, even if "Her" was under control there were still eight Integration-level puppets left, so the Human Race Total Alliance could no longer ignore us.
"Eun-hyun oppa."
"Huh?"
As she headed forward while facing the Demon Realm qi, she smiled bitterly and looked down into the inside of the Wondrous Castle.
"…Can you save my manager…"
"."
I silently looked at the golden pill of Jeon Myeong-hoon sealed inside the Wondrous Castle.
Although it was sealed, it was clearly visible to our eyes that could see intent.
The emotions spurting from the golden pill of Jeon Myeong-hoon.
No matter how you looked at it, we were the same hometown people.
And although she did not know, at least for me the things Jeon Myeong-hoon had done to bother me a little no longer felt big.
The plan to sacrifice me to the fox was something that irritated me until I reached the Supreme Intent, but after reaching the Supreme Intent and beating the fox to death, I no longer cared.
Moreover, since I could sufficiently understand the feelings of the guy who had lost everything, I did not want to seal him forever as he was.
"Let's find a way."
I looked at Jeon Myeong-hoon and said.
"There must be a way. The Gwangryeong Realm is vast, so… if we look for it in the Gwangryeong Realm, there should be things that can help cure him someday…"
When memories were intact, the guy was so insignificant that I did not care much.
When memories were lost, I did not care because I did not remember who the guy was.
But paradoxically, now that I had found the memory of the guy, I could finally care about him.
"…Surprisingly. Eun-hyun oppa, you've been bothered by my manager a lot, haven't you?"
"Yeah."
I slowly nodded.
And I smiled at In-yeon.
"So more than ever, it is important to return to his sane mind and receive his apology."
Good or bad connections are ultimately connections.
Then it would be better to definitely receive an apology and tie off the bad connections.
Of course, if I told Won Rip to reconcile, I would probably have to tear him apart a few more times to reconcile.
But Jeon Myeong-hoon was not that bad, so receiving his apology with a clear mind would be enough.
We were talking.
"You two are having fun together."
Bang!
Oh Hyun-seok flew over using Bunny Technique and landed beside Kim Yeon and me.
"Sorry for the intrusion, but something seems to be chasing us from behind."
"Chasing?"
"I don't know. Probably a Integration-level Tae-su, but only one. Kim Yeon said this is the Wondrous Castle? Even if it can handle it, fighting an Integration-level would be troublesome, so how about increasing speed?"
"Yes, I'll do that."
Kim Yeon said slowly and increased the speed of the Wondrous Castle.
Soon the mainland of the Gwangryeong Realm.
It was the human race territory.
Just as I was thinking that.
Whoosh!
From inside the Wondrous Castle, Hyeon-un, who had been resting, flew and landed on the roof.
"Oh, what is it, military commander?"
"…There are many things to say. First… the Integration-level Tae-su chasing us from behind… I don't know why, but it seems to be Heukryongwang Hyeon-eum, the first disciple of Heuklin Eoryeongmun."
"Ah, then it's not an enemy…"
But Hyeon-un said with a hardened face.
"No, increase the speed."
"What?"
"Those with the same ancestor bloodline affect each other's consciousness. And usually higher realm beings do not affect lower realm disciples much. Right now I am being affected by the consciousness of the Black Dragon King."
He grabbed his head and frowned.
"I don't know why, but the Black Dragon King is in a rage now, with anger boiling to the top of his head. If I stop, a battle might break out, so keep moving."
"What? Why is the Black Dragon King angry?"
I asked him, unable to understand.
Hyeon-un shook his head and sighed.
"…I don't know either. Don't ask."
We sat on the Wondrous Castle looking bewildered and watched the Demon Realm scenery passing quickly.
Soon the scenery of this Demon Realm would end.
"Take care, Demon Realm…"
I learned a lot.
I looked toward the front with a small gratitude toward the world itself called the Demon Realm.
There, the entrance between the Demon Realm and the Gwangryeong Realm that we had first crossed.
The first occupied zone where the entrance was located was visible.
"Well, many things happened…"
Oh Hyun-seok said with a bitter smile.
"You all worked hard! Let's go home!"
And we went to the first occupied zone.
The place with the dimensional gate to the Gwangryeong Realm.
"."
"."
"."
I clearly thought I had come.
"…There must have been a dimensional gate here, right?"
Kim Yeon asked with her face stiffly hardened, looking around.
I looked around in all directions too.
It was clear.
It was the exact place where I had first set foot in the Demon Realm.
But why….
"Why is the dimensional gate gone?"
Oh Hyun-seok shouted as if screaming.
Hyeon-un, whose face was stiffly hardened, closed his eyes and cast some martial technique.
And then he opened his eyes wide.
"Ha… haha…"
His voice was full of emptiness.
"Hahahaha… Damn it. The Human Race Total Alliance closed the gate from the opposite side."
"…What?"
"Traces of space show the technique of the Human Race Total Alliance, the closing door technique."
"What, what does that mean!? There are still human race disciples left in the Demon Realm, and there should be quite a few… don't the remains of the bright sun still remain…!?"
As his words continued, I felt like I could not keep my mind.
"…From the Total Alliance's perspective, it would have been more important to block the clones of the Void Refinement Venerable who had been established in the Demon Realm and the Integration-level Tae-sus of the Demon Realm than the human race disciples who had not yet returned."
"."
"We are trapped in the Demon Realm."
