Chapter 211: Absolute Supreme Demon Arts (2)
Wheik. Chak!
The First Disciple lightly swung his sword to the floor and Seol-Hwi, who was so focused, never thought that the action was an attack.
He thought that it was just an act of excitement.
But he was wrong.
Shhhh
…Uh?
Light shone from the floor slowly. And as soon as he saw it, goosebumps rose on his body. Just when he thought he was sensitive to energy—
Wheik!
Just three steps away from Seol-Hwi. The flames began to rise up and completely surrounded him. Seol-Hwi opened all his dantian points.
Swish
When the ring of fire soared down, the lightning flashed at the tip of Seol-Hwi’s sword.
The black storm which was created at the same time scattered the ring of fire which was coming for his head.
It was an unexpected use of the Martial Supreme Peak Wind God.
It scattered the living and roaring ring of fire in all directions.
“Ouch!”
“Kuak!”
The aftermath was quite huge. A few of the peak demons who had been properly backing away fell down, and even the corpses on the floor were caught up and flew out of the inn.
Coming!
As soon as the moment of it was caught, Seol-Hwi raised his internal energy throughout his body.
He read the movement of the End Demon coming for him. Seol-Hwi raised his internal energy, and unleashed Martial Supreme Peak Wind God.
The End Demon on the other side could use fire with his hand.
Kwaaak!
Two powerful weapons collided. A ring of fire containing the energy of a sword storm and extinction that rises with lightning.
‘Damn it!’
Seol-Hwi realized as soon as he saw the scene.
At first it seemed like the ring of fire was pushed out because it was lacking in force, but that was an illusion.
The ring of flame which did not shake even after this, was coming at him.
Seol-Hwi raised his sword, and as soon as the ring of fire came to him, he twisted it in an instant.
Control the Weight of a Thousand—
He tried to push the flame back with the power of Taiji.
But—
…Uh?
Something was wrong.
The flame should have been twisted away and pushed back, but it was still there.
It was a classic sign of the power and that it would explode.
Kwakwakwang!
An explosion occurred.
When almost half the inn got blown, the onlookers thought Seol-Hwi was dead.
“Hoh. You don’t fall so easily, do you?”
The End Demon briefly admired Seol-Hwi, who was still alive, and was pushed back ten steps from where the explosion happened.
His clothes were torn in half as he was not able to fully avoid the explosion.
Drip
And the wound on the right arm, blood was flowing down its torn sleeve. At the moment it exploded, even though he backed off, he took serious damage. And this was where the problem came.
Blood…
He quickly checked, but somehow the bleeding didn’t seem to stop. What kind of martial arts makes one bleed out?
Jjkk
“Euk…”
Unable to do anything, Seol-Hwi burned the wound with flames. The bleeding stopped, but the injury was more serious now.
“Huh, it seems you are still at the start of Supreme Demon. If you look at the fact of how you didn’t master the Peak Four Demonic Martial Arts…”
The End Demon smiled at Seol-Hwi.
He had a body which already passed through the beginning and reached the higher stage. In comparison, there would be things he lacked.
As for martial arts… he is definitely above me.
Seol-Hwi also judged that according to the facts.
The movement and internal energy, even with just once slashed to his face, he could tell how different the opponent was.
In addition, it is one level higher than the Flame Aggregating Demonic Martial Arts…
Above all, the flame—
The flame was beyond what could be handled. He was generating flames which could kill everything quite casually.
If it was just spewed out, it would create and operate an enormous power of annihilation, and he used it like a ring of fire.
They haven’t moved yet.
Seol-Hwi realized the subordinates were still on the second floor. Well, he was bound to die here.
Then, even if he did die, he did not want to see his subordinates to see him die.
It is better to blow the inn up completely.
Shhh…
Seol-Hwi raised his droopy arm again and spoke to the End Demon.
“Should I come this time?”
“Hoo.”
The End Demon smiled at the words of Seol-Hwi, who spoke leisurely despite being seriously injured.
“Fine. Instead, I will cut down your throat this time.”
“If you can.”
Shhh
Seol-Hwi raised his internal energy with all his might, and the faster he rose it, the greater the amount consumed. Even so, he did not care and gathered it all.
Paah
Utilizing the maxed out internal energy, he rushed at the End Demon at the highest speed.
“Huh!” It was a speed that could not be followed with the naked eye. Nevertheless, the End Demon drew the sword at the point where Seol-Hwi came.
Swish!
Surprisingly the flame reached the point before the sword.
But—
“…!”
This was the first time the End Demon looked shocked. For some reason, the opponent was not harmed despite the flame touching the body. And this was hellfire.
It is because of special skill—
<Thrift Wind Sword is being used.>
The absolute power of the wind attribute, which takes away half of one’s physical strength and internal energy.
Even if the storm did not take care of everything, it was still a technique which makes the user become invincible for a moment and the body changes.
Waw! Kwak!
Whirlwinds from all sides blew up the inn. Not just that, but it caused the corpses on the ground to fly too.
Wheeik!
But, even so, the End Demon was not pushed back.
Rather, he endured the wind pressure and unleashed another attack.
“Flash Fire!”
Along with the cry of the End Demon, a purple light shot from his blade. It moved ahead, tearing down the whirlpool.
And it flew for Seol-Hwi, who had returned to his original position. At that moment, Seol-Hwi took out his weapon.
“Ha… ahm!”
And he was ready to try this.
Piiii!
There was a thin metal sound which completely stopped the movement around. The time felt extremely closed due to the Ice Field Compression.
‘Ah!’
Seol-Hwi saw the End Demon’s purple light piercing through. It seemed like a snake which wanted to devour its target.
Seol-Hwi twisted the body to the side. It was just one movement.
His body moved very little, but it worked better.
He aimed the sword at the End Demon.
Take this!
He created an enhanced sword and directed it at him.
Swish
As soon as the ring of fire was narrowly dodged, Seol-Hwi’s sword began to shine at the tip, and the flow of time was back to normal.
Ping!
And as each other’s martial arts were used, the results came.
“Kuak!”
“Ack!”
The End Demon grabbed his left shoulder and stepped back, hesitating, and so did Seol-Hwi. The ring of fire he thought he avoided had passed through his left arm.
“You!”
The End Demon was the one who reacted more quickly.
Chak!
He lowered the sword vertically, and a wide range fire attack in the air came rushing for Seol-Hwi’s body.
Damn it!
Seol-Hwi knew that stepping back would not solve this. In the end, he used the best technique he could.
Kaak!
The End Demon’s attack passed through the body of Seol-Hwi.
Rumble!
With an explosion as if the ground was sinking, flame bloomed all around, and like before, the skills of the End Demon could be recognized again.
Zzhhh
And like mentioned about the attack, the attack was too much.
Somewhere far away—
Seol-Hwi was standing outside the range of the flame.
“Heavenly Demon Footwork… this makes no sense.”
He created as many as ten illusions, and even though nine disappeared, he preserved his life. As the main martial arts of the Heavenly Demon were known to be the best, he knew using it would be the only way to live.
“Since I do everything I can to live… I got used to it.”
Seol-Hwi spoke in a relaxed and playful voice.
“Anyway, you really have to be torn limb by limb.”
The End Demon already had a red face. To say that only a measly member of the Demonic Sect was using the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon…
This was a martial art which even he only witnessed from afar.
Clench!
He clenched his fist, unable to keep his anger in check.
Has his insanity taken over?
On the other hand, Seol-Hwi was calm. He tried to learn to endure it by using just the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts, but it could not be done.
It was because he hated the thought of seeing his subordinate die in the hands of such people.
“Right, I will promise you for real this time. I will burn you to death.”
Wheik
The End Demon drew his sword.
Clearly, Seol-Hwi blade hit his shoulder, but the guy looked like it did not bother him. On the other hand, Seol-Hwi’s arm was broken.
In addition, there was bleeding, and he had less than half his internal energy remaining.
I think if I can hold onto it a few more times…
He experienced some of the martial arts.
One of the abilities of the system is that it can apply effects outside the sect.
It doesn’t matter whether or not martial arts are noticed.
As long as the opponent uses martial arts, he can pile up the knowledge and the system would complete it.
“No. Come to think of it, the odds seem in my favor.”
Kulkul!
“…?”
The End Demon began to laugh loudly, making Seol-Hwi look curious.
“Yupae, Hyang Gae!”
“Yes, lord!”
“Tell me now.”
Seol-Hwi’s eyes widened at the name Yupae.
Yupae?
Didn’t he die in the hands of the Earth Demon when the Second Disciple was killed?
“His men are around here. They couldn’t have run too far. Catch them.”
“Alright.”
“Yes.”
Seol-Hwi expression changed in response to this.
They are done.
They were already aware of his subordinates being here.
“Stop!”
When Hyang Gae and Yupae moved, Seol-Hwi swung the sword at them.
However, they were skilled and easily dodged the attack.
Wheik!
Soon, the Earth Demon used his flame so Seol-Hwi had to step back.
“Kekek, am I right?”
The End Demon smiled at Seol-Hwi. He was smiling like he found something to toy with.
“You have a lot to learn. What did the Earth Demon even teach you?”
“Shut up!”
Seol-Hwi raised his internal qi, but since he already raised so much of it to fight, there wasn’t much left.
“Haaa!”
He pointed out the sword and pulled the energy from the core of his body, and at last, the place began to turn white.
“Ice arts… this guy is so interesting.”
The End Demon chuckled.
“Bark all you want!”
Swish
In an instant, Seol-Hwi’s body began to turn into multiple ones.
Heavenly Demon Footwork—
He was thinking of deciding the fight with the best move that he could
“Idiot.”
It was then.
Seol-Hwi’s eyes trembled as he tried to set the target to attack.
Papapak!
The number of the End Demons had grown too, it was to 12 illusions. Two more than his.
“You thought only you learned it?”
Wheiuk
Flames rose from the sword the illusions held.
Twelve—
A moment of silence passed, and this time the illusions moved for Seol-Hwi.
“Bastards…”
Wheik
Seol-Hwi’s swords also used the last form of Flame Aggregation Demonic Martial Arts which were the Hellish Annihilation Arts.
