Chapter 104
Han Yuseong thrust out his sword-wielding right arm.
Pyo Wiheon's sword clashed with Han Yuseong's.
Han Yuseong understood his own Domain, the 'Sword Realm.'
That was why he was in an endless clash.
The more their swords met, the more his understanding of the Sword Path grew.
The unknown Sword Path that had seemed impossible to deal with gradually revealed its answers as they collided.
Han Yuseong recalled the comments from his Senior Transcendental Gallery members.
-
Sword of Light) Transcend it.
-
Absolute Monarch) You've been making it a routine to overcome limits, haven't you? Just do it again this time.
He knew.
A victory overcoming Rank.
Even if it was something close to realistically impossible.
-Sword of Light) I've also experienced situations where I had to overcome the limits of Rank. And that Pioneer over there has too.
There were those among the Hard Difficulty Seniors who had already done it.
And Han Yuseong himself had been doing it all along.
However, the battle Han Yuseong was facing right now was a bit on the difficult side.
-
Ice Queen) Freeze…! Now that you've created a Domain, you must believe in your own Domain!
-
Shrine Maiden) Hawaawa, that's so true.
-
Secret Room Theorist) Climber, you must believe in the power of the Domain you created. - This world is made up of a giant secret room
-
Archmage) Of course, you have to adapt while using your Domain. Just because you open your Domain doesn't mean the effect will be perfectly tailored right away.
-
Dragon King) Beltui- It might not be easy to grasp, but you have no choice but to keep colliding and figuring it out.
Han Yuseong shook it off.
The sword wielding the power of a Rank 7 Intermediate.
'Sword Realm is.'
The Sword Realm, the Domain Han Yuseong had established, was far from ordinary, even by his own standards.
It was an arrogant Domain.
Regardless of the opponent's Rank, it was a Domain that completely figured out the principles and martial arts of any swordsmanship within its Domain.
Whether that was possible or impossible.
It was a Domain created with that resolve.
Han Yuseong pushed his Bodyguard Qi to the extreme in order to overcome the current situation, where he was being crushed by the Sword Demon Pyo Wiheon's 'Unique Domain,' the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
He traversed the top floor of the Sword Pavilion with both feet wrapped in dense Spirit Energy.
Footwork.
The high-ranking steps written in the Footwork manual, Via Caedis, given by Senior Light Sword.
Quinta Ignis.
White flames sparked five times.
The easiest way to prevent the Sword Bell from raising the Sword Demon Pyo Wiheon's hand was to evade the attacks without getting hit.
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Purple Sword Force poured down on the floor and walls of the Sword Pavilion.
Even after evading all five Sword Strikes unleashed by Pyo Wiheon, he did not stop his steps.
Septima Tonitrus.
He utilized all the Footwork he could.
Han Yuseong's entire body was enveloped in a lightning-like white current.
And with the ensuing explosion, he once again closed the distance to Pyo Wiheon's vicinity.
Pyo Wiheon brought his sword down vertically.
Great Void Mad Soul Strike.
The Sword Path that brilliantly covered the space possessed the momentum to create a sun that did not even exist in the Sword Pavilion.
Han Yuseong breathed.
He had to unfold it.
A Sword Path that would make the Sword Bell's choice be directed at him, not Pyo Wiheon, who had activated his Unique Domain.
-Heavenly Demon) Believe in the Domain you have unfolded. Believe in the martial arts you have built up. Either way, you'll die if you don't do it.
Heavenly Demon Senior's comment came to mind.
And beyond that, he also recalled the words of the Heavenly Demon kidnapper who occasionally appeared in the Time-Delayed Prison in a seated position.
= Do you know why a Domain is a Domain? It's because it possesses the potential to make the impossible possible. =
= There's no need for you to be afraid on your own land. =
It seemed like the situation was a bit different now that he was above the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
But the words of both Heavenly Demons were ultimately correct.
From where Han Yuseong stood, pure white Spirit Energy scattered, rippling in circular waves.
And the Spirit Energy that flowed out from all directions converged on Han Yuseong's sword.
Dragon Slayer Sword.
12th Form, Advent of Dragon Slaying.
The Domain, Sword Realm, was protecting Han Yuseong's Sword Path.
White light encroached on the center of the Great Void Mad Soul Strike.
Soul Fusion.
The most perfect attack that the current Han Yuseong could unleash.
A powerful horizontal slash that created a dragon.
And another horizontal slash to cut that dragon down.
It was two horizontal slashes, but there wasn't even a moment for the word 'instant' to intervene between the slashes.
The Great Void Mad Soul Strike was split in two.
It was right after that.
Kung-
A magnificent bell sound reverberated.
It was the Sword Bell.
The Sword Bell had rung its sound towards Han Yuseong.
Pyo Wiheon's eyes widened.
An impossible event had occurred.
The Sword Bell choosing his adversary, not himself.
Han Yuseong felt a shiver running through his entire body from the moment the Sword Bell rang towards him.
Domain.
Sword Realm.
It was a Domain that had been arrogantly conceived with the will to thoroughly understand everything about swords.
But it seemed that that will was not entirely detached from reality.
Han Yuseong saw it.
The moment the Sword Bell rang towards him.
A distorted fragment of Pyo Wiheon's Unique Domain, the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
A diagram, as if it were a 'blueprint' of the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path, was taking shape in his mind.
Han Yuseong sprouted the hope that if he could win just one more battle of Sword Force, he might be able to capture this Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
Han Yuseong kicked off the ground and moved forward.
Pyo Wiheon raised his sword high.
Purple lightning wrapped around the sword.
The sword fell vertically.
Purple thunder struck the ground.
So densely that there wasn't a single gap on the floor of the Sword Pavilion's top floor.
Kugugung─! Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The probability of the top floor collapsing was low because 'Heavenly Pavilion Lord' Mok Yeon had installed devices by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Demon, a Rank 8, on the top floor of the Sword Pavilion, where the two were currently engaged in a desperate struggle.
Nevertheless, it shook as if it would break at any moment from the countless lightning strikes that were pouring down.
Kwaaaang!
Han Yuseong deployed Footwork again.
Han Yuseong, who had evaded all the lightning strikes, swung his sword without caring about his left shoulder, which was half-burned.
And after closing the distance to Pyo Wiheon again, he unleashed instinctive Sword Paths.
Dragon Slayer Sword.
And Pielburt.
The remaining swordsmanship techniques were all aimed at reliably blocking Pyo Wiheon's attacks.
Kwaaang!
The sound of air being torn apart echoed raggedly.
Sparks from the clash of swords flowed into the air.
Pyo Wiheon and Han Yuseong simultaneously flew backward.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Han Yuseong looked at Pyo Wiheon, whose face still showed a hint of composure.
"Is there anyone who isn't afraid of death?"
Pyo Wiheon raised the corner of his mouth.
"Aren't you acting like one right now?"
Han Yuseong didn't answer and kept his mouth shut, facing the bell beyond Pyo Wiheon.
The giant Sword Bell was trembling slightly.
It wasn't difficult to infer what process the bell's trembling meant.
"The calculation of Sword Force isn't over yet."
Pyo Wiheon's low voice echoed in the room.
"Refrain from useless expectations, there is not the slightest chance that you will win in the judgment of Sword Force."
Pyo Wiheon added, as if declaring it.
"You will surely die. Today, in this place."
Han Yuseong opened his mouth.
"You will die."
Pyo Wiheon thought it was nonsense.
But he was the guy who had already rung the Sword Bell once.
Trying to find fault here would only make him look ridiculous.
Sword Pavilion Lord Pyo Wiheon was a man who extremely hated such things.
Pyo Wiheon too.
Han Yuseong also thought that further conversation was meaningless.
The two of them took steps towards each other.
Again, their swords clashed.
The swords of a Rank 6 and a Rank 7 Intermediate.
Kwarreureung-
A Sword Qi of lightning that swept horizontally grazed Han Yuseong's neck.
Crimson blood gushed out.
[Abnormal Status - Due to 'Critical' Bleeding, Doombringer is activated.]
Han Yuseong realized that the crisis of death was approaching.
But it didn't feel like a big crisis.
Unlike the deaths he had experienced in the 'Time-Delayed Prison,' he wouldn't be able to come back to life this time.
If he died here, it would be the end.
It wasn't a big deal at all.
Han Yuseong's left hand, with its Spirit Energy densely condensed, deflected Pyo Wiheon's sword diagonally.
Seureureuk…
It was the same movement as [Thunder Deflection], a defensive technique he had been subjected to dozens of times by 'King of Fist Eon Cheolsan' in the Time-Delayed Prison.
It was a technique he had naturally acquired because he had been subjected to it nearly a hundred times.
And deflecting Pyo Wiheon's sword once more with his sword.
He immediately followed up with swordsmanship.
White lightning streaked across the top floor of the Sword Pavilion.
Han Yuseong's body, stretched out like taffy, reached the opposite side of Pyo Wiheon.
Chijijik…! Chijik!
White flames flowed on the ground Han Yuseong was stepping on.
Han Yuseong had no time to care about the hazy smoke emanating from his entire body.
He wrapped a scale taken from the Dragonbone of Recovery around his neck.
“…What, what was that movement just now?”
Han Yuseong didn't have the luxury to answer.
He himself couldn't explain in detail how the previous strike had been created.
It was Mo Yong-hyeon gang's martial arts, which he had fought in the Time-Delayed Prison.
He had never been able to kill Mo Yong-hyeon gang, a Rank 7 Intermediate, in the Time-Delayed Prison.
Learning the movements and habits and barely becoming equal was the best he could do.
He had to kill the Rank 7 Intermediate he couldn't kill in the Time-Delayed Prison now.
And also the Rank 7 Intermediate who had killed Mo Yong-hyeon gang.
The ultimate thrust that was Mo Yong-hyeon gang's specialty, Flash Piercing Field.
He recalled it in his mind.
And immediately executed that martial art.
That martial art was unfolded more perfectly than Han Yuseong had expected on top of the Domain, Sword Realm.
Pyo Wiheon looked at the blood flowing down his shoulder.
And.
Kung─
The Sword Bell rang.
Towards Han Yuseong.
Pyo Wiheon boiled with anger.
The two simultaneously unleashed their swords.
A wild gale stirred.
Pyo Wiheon's red hair swept back.
Pyo Wiheon looked at the storm coiling on either side of Han Yuseong.
It was only right that he should be the only one capable of creating that scenery.
That was the power he could unleash when he was chosen by the 'Sword Bell.'
Only then did Pyo Wiheon realize.
The 'Sword Realm' that covered half of the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
A faint white current was swirling around the Sword Bell.
"Domain usurpation, you say?"
It was something that should not have happened.
Domain usurpation.
Controlling the opponent's Unique Domain, or another person opposing the core abilities of the Unique Domain is called 'Domain usurpation.'
The conditions for Domain usurpation to occur were very strict.
What Pyo Wiheon knew for sure was that a 'Domain' could not usurp a 'Unique Domain.'
Especially not a Rank 6.
Han Yuseong didn't know either.
Until he won the Sword Force judgment of the Sword Bell.
He would master swordsmanship on top of the Domain called Sword Realm.
That infinitely arrogant will.
At the end of two victories in the Sword Bell's judgment, a path to move the 'Sword Bell' was seen.
So, immediately after unfolding 'Flash Piercing Field,' he immediately put the knowledge that swept through his mind into action.
[Sword Realm].
He moved two of the Formless Swords listed in that Domain that covered the top floor of the Sword Pavilion with his will, and stabbed one in the very center of the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
And he also stabbed a sword in the center of the front of the Sword Bell.
The reason Pyo Wiheon didn't notice it was because the Formless Swords moved so secretly.
And also because the appearance of those Formless Swords was still too embarrassing to be called a sword.
But on the contrary, that was why they could not be detected.
The most essential effect of Sword Pavilion Lord Pyo Wiheon's Unique Domain, Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path.
The 'user' of the Sword Bell Underworld Palace Path who has won the judgment of the Sword Bell can unleash an attack that is twice the original martial power of the opponent they are facing.
That unique ability had fallen into Han Yuseong's hands.
It was impossible for a Domain to place a Unique Domain under its feet.
Han Yuseong shattered that impossibility.
Luck.
Compatibility.
And with talent and effort.
He overturned the natural order.
He drew up Sword Force.
The four pillars that had taken root in Han Yuseong's body were agitated.
What covered the top floor of the Sword Pavilion was a transcendent scenery beyond Sword Force.
Pyo Wiheon faced the white light.
There was no fear on the Sword Pavilion Lord's face.
If he was a human who was frightened by the occurrence of an anomaly, he would not have reached this level.
Grand Void Sword 10th Form.
Great Demonic Scenery Overlord.
Pyo Wiheon unleashed the final form of the Grand Void Sword Record.
"Die."
Han Yuseong thought that those words were not a bluff.
For someone who had achieved the martial power of a Rank 7 Intermediate and proven his martial arts, complacency was forbidden.
Han Yuseong unleashed his sword.
Dragon Slayer Sword 13th Form, Dragon Soul Extinction.
Two streams of Sword Strike collided.
At the same time that white light covered Pyo Wiheon's upper body.
A purple current covered half of Han Yuseong's body.
Pyo Wiheon's heart was pierced by white light.
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Pyo Wiheon's body, which had sunk to the ground as if collapsing, caused the floor of the Sword Pavilion's top floor, which had withstood all the previous Sword Strikes, to collapse.
With an explosion, the ground was completely shattered.
It passed through the ground of the tenth floor and also pierced through the ground of the eighth floor.
Kwaaang!
Eventually, the fall ended only after breaking through to the sixth floor.
Fragments of the structure and fragments of Sword Qi filled the atmosphere thickly.
Crimson blood spurted from the Sword Pavilion Lord's mouth.
Han Yuseong still saw Pyo Wiheon's Sword Path, which did not stop.
Seogeok─
The purple Sword Path completely cut through and passed by his right shoulder.
He even missed the chance to use the Dragonbone of Recovery.
His right arm, which was cut off in an instant, floated in the air.
'With one arm.'
He thought that losing one arm was a cheap price to pay.
To kill a Rank 7 Intermediate.
He didn't care and regained his focus.
The direction of the sword Han Yuseong was holding soared from Sword Pavilion Lord Pyo Wiheon's heart to his neck.
Hot blood floated through the Sword Pavilion.
“…….”
The vitality slowly disappeared from Pyo Wiheon's eyes, which had been glaring at Han Yuseong.
[Level has increased!]
[Lv.96 → Lv.107]
A notification window announcing the level up.
That Sword Pavilion Lord Pyo Wiheon had met his complete death.
Han Yuseong could finally believe it with the appearance of the notification window.
Vitality began to rise in his entire body.
His severed arm grew back.
He couldn't leave his left arm alone.
Pyo Wiheon was dead, but the Sword Strikes he had left behind were still rampaging through the Sword Pavilion.
Several new wounds were etched on his recovered body again.
There were no fatal wounds that threatened his life, but they were more than just annoying.
Kwaang─
The Sword Pavilion collapsed endlessly.
Kung!
“……”
Hazy dust obscured Han Yuseong's vision.
As the smoke began to subside, the sound of countless footsteps was heard next.
Jeobeok jeobeok-
Han Yuseong looked at those approaching him.
[NPC - Sword Pavilion 1st Commander Ma Ha-hee, Rank 7]
[NPC – Sword Pavilion 1st Deputy Commander Im Seohan, Rank 6]
[NPC – Sword Pavilion 2nd Commander Neung Yang-cheon, Rank 6]
[NPC – Sword Pavilion 2nd Deputy Commander Myodooh, Rank 6]
Behind the four masters, Rank 5 Warriors belonging to the Sword Pavilion were lined up.
And a cool Bodyguard Qi flowed through their entire bodies.
The number visible to the naked eye alone was roughly fifty.
A level of martial power that would be more than enough to cause a bloodbath in a small to medium-sized Sect.
Sword Pavilion Lord.
Sword Demon Pyo Wiheon.
Had they gathered to avenge their master?
'I'm screwed if this happens.'
It was a force that would be difficult to win against even if his body was in normal condition.
But right now, his condition was not normal.
Han Yuseong, who was standing blankly, clicked his tongue inwardly.
The moment he gripped his sword tightly in a state of tension.
─Kung
Sword Pavilion 1st Commander Ma Ha-hee knelt down.
That was the signal flare.
Kung-
Next, 2nd Commander Neung Yang-cheon knelt down.
Kung! Kung! Kuung!
Soon, the fifty or so troops belonging to the Sword Pavilion Lord who had gathered here all knelt down in unison, their robes fluttering.
Ma Ha-hee's mouth opened.
"The Sword Pavilion's rules state that the one who defeats the Sword Pavilion Lord will sit as the next Sword Pavilion Lord."
A voice that could be called a beautiful tone flowed out.
"Challenger Han Yuseong, killed the former Sword Pavilion Lord Pyo Wiheon."
Ma Ha-hee slightly raised her head and gazed at Han Yuseong.
"You have succeeded to the position of Sword Pavilion Lord in accordance with due process. Lord Han Yuseong."
The beautiful tone continued.
"From this moment on, all members of the Sword Pavilion will follow the Lord's orders."
[You have achieved an achievement that is difficult to achieve as a 'Player'.]
[You have become the 'Sword Pavilion Lord' of the 'Sword Pavilion', one of the core martial power groups of the 'Heavenly Demon Church'.]
