372. Difference in power (3)
Just like that, I powerfully extended my sword and smashed the opponent’s head.
Crunchy!
“Challenger Han Seong-yoon won against an unrivaled expert, bringing him 0.77% closer to [transcendence].”
“I have absorbed the spirit of the Murim Lord ‘Cheon Kang-un’.”
「… … .」
It was truly a martial arts finale.
If I had to be honest, should I say that it was a characteristic of the martial arts people that I saw while climbing the tower?
In fact, even in battles where there is no reason to be angry at the opponent or where the probability of success is not high, things take place depending on the state of excitement.
Without even thinking about the consequences of acting like that.
‘It’s definitely worthy of being called a martial artist.’
It was no different for Cheon Kang-un.
This time, they said that they would decide the result by duel in response to the series of questions from the Gupa Ilbang group… … .
In the end, he could not even accept the result of the duel trial that he had decided to start, and ended up talking nonsense and eventually dying.
‘Even at the end, you still say trivial things.’
It’s not even just that.
Before I knew it, Cheon Kang-un had guessed that I was addicted and even told me about the Murim Alliance’s plan.
In fact, the extinction of the Baek clan was led by the Murim League.
Perhaps, seeing as how many warriors from the Murim Alliance were brought in, if I lost the duel trial, I would have planned to personally eliminate the Baek clan.
“… … .”
It was certain.
In fact, the warriors on the Murim Alliance acted without confusion as if they knew Cheon Kang-un would do this.
And the story Cheon Kang-un told was not a lie.
He said it with the most confident feeling that no matter where he goes in the world, there is no martial power that wants the Baek clan to continue.
That is a fact that has been confirmed with the eyes of God.
‘In this place, all the martial powers, such as the nine factions and the five major factions, are the enemies.’
In response, I clicked my tongue and looked down at Cheon Kang-un’s headless body with cold eyes.
This is just the beginning.
Even if they tried to revive the Baek clan’s position in this martial arts world, if they did not break this rotten chain, there would be no future for the Baek clan.
In that case, what we have to do is fixed, right?
‘That’s fun.’
The whole world is your enemy… … .
Actually, in a way, I might have wanted this too.
Anyway, this world is ruled by the rotten logic of power, so isn’t it the perfect place for me to grow up?
‘I don’t need to look after you anymore.’
And that’s not the end.
Come to think of it, Cheon Kang-woon, who was standing on the duel field, also said that the duel trial would not end until all the sins were cleared.
A fight that distinguishes between good and evil with only winners and losers.
To put it the other way around, it means that once the duel trial has started, I can continue the duel trial anywhere.
That’s exactly what I want.
“It’s simple.”
A diet of the fittest and the fittest.
In this world, the weak standing in front of the strong are just a meal.
And isn’t the reason for doing so clear?
In response, I smoothed the handle of the sword in my hand and drew a line around my mouth.
“I think we can achieve a lot this time.”
It was worth it.
You will be able to gain growth abilities based on necromancy and the myth <Possibility of Transcendence>.
Even if you are lucky, you will be able to obtain unique skills no matter how extreme the odds are.
Even if that weren’t the case, we would be able to supply the stories and beliefs needed for mythology.
Anyway, I had some expectations.
However, just for a moment.
“My benefactor.”
Suddenly, I noticed Baek Cheon-hyuk calling me, so I turned my head and looked at him.
“sorry. … … I should have dealt with these profiteers myself. “I ended up adding to the burden on my benefactor again.”
Baek Cheonhyuk said that with a bitter smile.
I guess I feel guilty because I couldn’t help wipe out the Murim Alliance’s warriors… … .
There is no need for them to apologize for that.
Anyway, I had to monopolize the spirits with necromancy, so I blocked their access with the myth <Incarnation of the End>.
“no. I wanted to get rid of it all. “You don’t have to apologize like that.”
In response, I lifted the iron sword from the sheath hanging on my belt and said,
“And the work of the Baek family here is my work.”
It was true.
Originally, reviving the Baek clan was something I had to do.
If I were to be honest, I also have a strong desire to obtain compensation, so I am not in a position to listen to such words.
“… … iced coffee. Indeed, you are indeed the Great Hyeop itself. He was impressed by that kind of caring attitude. “My benefactor.”
“?”
“I heard you say that for a charlatan, unreasonable persecution is like his own business. This Baek family matriarch is a noble person who cannot be dared to approach… … .”

“… … .”
But did he hear it differently?
‘no… … .’
Before I knew it, my conscience was pricked when I saw Baek Cheon-hyuk’s eyes shining with emotions similar to admiration.
‘… … I had to obtain a reward through true necromancy, so I defeated the enemies single-handedly.’
Sublime?
There is nothing like that.
To put it bluntly, I was worried that people over there might actively kill the Murim Alliance’s warriors, so I secretly kept my competitors(?) in check.
Isn’t that why the myth <Incarnation of the End> was activated and the entire area was pressed down?
Even if it’s only a chance, if Baek Cise kills even one of the enemies, I won’t be able to absorb the spirits through necromancy.
I just didn’t want to take any losses.
“Master… … ! Wow, indeed! So that’s what happened! Wow, you really have a great heart! Ah, so that’s it! “I finally understand Master’s heavenly meaning!”
If that were to be the case, even Baek Seol-hwa, who was now approaching at full speed, joined in.
She nodded, shook her head vigorously, and spoke with sparkling eyes.
It was as if I was standing before my eyes as a great hero from an epic.
At this point, I can’t even understand what they’re saying.
‘… … Heart rate? what? No, is there a deeper meaning to be understood on the other side? this?’
There was no time for me to open my mouth and explain it.
“Lord Cheon, you read the thoughts of a man like Moribae. The Murim Alliance must have participated in the Baek clan’s attack. “Well, that’s why he paid tribute to the majority of the nine members of the group.”
“… … yes?”
“A truly great battle of wits… … !!”
“… … ?”
“Then, Master, you knew about the betrayal of the nine gangs from the beginning… … ! Ha, hey, if you don’t do that, there’s no way you’re going to wipe out the majority of the old faction. A normal person.”
“… … .”
Could it be that this is just a high-level scam that I’ve only heard of?
Every time the innocent girl in front of me continued to say exclamations, I felt pain as if it were stabbing me in the chest.
Perhaps, although he did not express it earlier, he was concerned that this party had sent the majority of the old group to prison for no reason.
Baek Seol-hwa continued speaking with an elated smile on her face, as if she were a great detective who had solved a mystery.
“I can’t believe there was such a meaning to that action! A clever move, as if he had read the heavens and predicted the future… … . Master, there really is nothing you can’t do… … .”
no.
“It’s a snowflake. Do not doubt. Isn’t he the thief among thiefs who saved this white family? “Of course there is a deep meaning.”
It’s not.
“yes. father… … . I think I thought wrong. Teacher, you seem to be able to find a trick in any situation. Really, it’s amazing… … .”
Although it is not.
“… … Of course, I am embarrassed to say what you two speculate, but they are all true.”
… … I think it would be too embarrassing to now explain it as an illusion.
“The achievement ‘Master of Shamelessness’ has been achieved.”
“Exclusive authority #D-0007 [Increased Compensation] is automatically activated when the conditions are met.”
“The level of rewards obtained from achievements increases.”
“Agility increases by 4.”
… … Really, too.
***
Time passed incredibly quickly.
There were many troublesome tasks involved in assessing the damage from the attack caused by the Murim Alliance and, in addition, dealing with the damage. Because they responded quickly, there were naturally no casualties.
And as soon as it was over, it was decided to convene an emergency meeting within the Baek clan, as if this was the way to go.
“… … .”
A conference room located in Baekga’s building.
I sat down at one of the tables there and listened with my arms crossed.
… … Once the situation was resolved and we entered the conference space inside the Baek Clan, several people joined in and urgent meeting agenda items were discussed.
“Lord Chen, it is a clear fact that that robber was trying to attack the main family! Even this old man knows that much! This is what we call war! “If that’s the case, then we should do it!”
“under-! Does the war between the famous factions seem like a joke? This is something that needs to be negotiated amicably here! You can’t cause any more damage to Sega! never!”
“hmm. Fix both. Elder Bon believes that alliance support between factions is necessary for this matter. This fight, the cause is here, right? Use that to build a support alliance… … .”
However, most of them were ineffective.
‘What is this again?’
War, negotiations, alliance… … .
Among those who survived the attack on the Baek Clan’s side, even though they were warriors of high status, they spouted out ambiguous words.
Somehow, it seemed easier to just go to the Murim Alliance and destroy everything there was than to stay here.
First of all, I heard that Se was holding a meeting, so I heard something, but I was speechless.
It was thought that the elders with high titles would come to a consensus one by one, but even that did not work out.
“Justice? Where is it? under-! “Murimmaeng, do you think the world will believe that those damned bastards tried to attack us?”
“No way. However, those who are dissatisfied with the Murim Alliance will believe it. Whether it’s real or not. This elder is trying to get support from the sects who were expelled from the old group… … .”
“Damn it! Why does a war between factions require support from the southern faction? “It’s just right to gather all the remaining warriors on the Baek clan’s side and start an open war, matriarch!”
Even as time passed, opinions remained separate.
“Whoa… … .”
And that’s not the end.
Baek Cheonhyuk was frowning as if he was worried about their words.
As if there was nothing in what they said that would not be taken into consideration.
There was no need to even look at me now, so I threw the chair back with a squeak and said coldly:
“In my opinion, they are all disqualifications.”
I continued speaking with a cold glint in my eyes.
“A truly highly efficient strategy is different from the alternatives.”
Was that a burden over there?
The elders sitting at the head of the conference room flinched and began to notice.
I guess they were probably wondering what I was thinking about doing this… … .
Since I didn’t think there was much need to hide, I smiled brightly and continued talking.
“It’s simple and incredibly effective.”
“Well, there is such a trick…” … !?”
“But it’s a shame.”
“… … .”
Just keep your mouth shut and attack everything you see in the enemy’s territory, and that’s just a strategy, isn’t it?
“In essence, the strategy itself is useful only if secrecy is kept internally.”
“Okay… … Because… … .”
“Unfortunately.”
But I didn’t say that out loud.
Is it because I have unintentionally developed the image of a psychological warfare genius(?)?
Still, I thought that my strategic intelligence was quite high, so I spoke with a thoughtful look in my eyes.
“However, I am confident that this will immediately resolve the numerous disputes surrounding the Baek Family.”
In reality, this would be the wisest axis.
“… … Well, the details are my own trade secret.”
Of course, my conscience pricked me a little.
But it’s not a complete lie.
… … Well, in any battle, the simplest strategy is the most efficient strategy.
“You just need to know this.”
In reality, most of the things I experienced were like that.
【Folding vortex】
In response, I smiled brightly in one of the conference rooms, buried myself in the darkness, and said,
“All enemies of the Baek family will disappear.”
That’s right… … .
“And that too overnight.”
Murim Alliance.
An alliance of martial forces, which is often treated as the cornerstone of the political faction, is… … .
Now, it will be destroyed and disappear overnight without even leaving a trace.

Swish-.
In the blink of an eye, I was transported to a sky close to a cloud layer and smiled broadly.
“… … .”
Originally, I was in a situation where I eliminated the majority of the old group and also knew the approximate location information of the Murim Alliance.
Before I knew it, I was able to feel many things as I transferred to the sky using the black magic [Falling Vortex].
For example, how much delicious food there is down there.
All of the Murim people on the Murim Alliance’s land seemed enormous.
‘That’s fun.’
It’s not even just that.
Suddenly, I realized that there were no ordinary people on the Murim Alliance’s land.
In fact, when viewed from the standards of ordinary people, there were many strong people who were treated as far beyond the realms beyond.
If that’s the case, then we don’t have to feel any hesitation about the massacre.
‘There was so much prey… … .’
At that, I widened my eyes and drew a big line around my mouth as if I was laughing.
‘Isn’t it the best?’
and.
“shall we start.”
Next moment.
“The myth <Incarnation of the Apocalypse> is activated.”
“From now on, the effect of <Apocalypse> will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
“When <The End> is activated, it consumes divine power and absorbs all life force within a certain radius.”
“From now on, the effect of <Sentence> will be applied to challenger Han Seong-yoon’s sacred use.”
“When <Sentence> is activated, it can consume divine power to corrupt a specific opponent’s status.”
Jijijijijijijijik-!
In an instant, the sound of something being torn apart occurred in the air, and a black whirlpool swirled violently.
It almost looks like the concept of the end itself has been turned into a whirlpool.
It was crashing down into the land where the Murim League’s building was located.
That means only one thing.
It’s no different… … .
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It was the end.
