Chapter 112: Those who seek death shall live (2)

The Disordered Terror was truly grotesque .

A giant creature over 10 meters tall was curled up, and as if it had received burns, its entire skin was peeled off . A spear full of light was stuck in it .

Although its eyes were both closed, blood continuously flowed down .

A form that resembled more of a mummy than a monster .

However, the wings on its back caught more of his attention .

‘Was it a hybrid?’

There were wings, one black and the other white .

A form that reminded him of a mixed race of an angel and a devil .

However, it was the first time Muyoung saw wings like these besides Saint Snow .

But, the Disordered Terror was helpless .

After removing the defensive tumor, there was only a weak monster that was continuously in pain .

The shining light spear near the heart would probably be the Talisman .

As Muyoung approached, the very first to notice was Esen, the Big Master of the Reign’s Invincible Force .

“You are…!”

Esen’s eyes widened .

The man who had fought the malignant tumor and released the strange spirit was in front of him .

Why?

Were their goals the same?

Although he looked similar to a human, Esen didn’t think he was one .

It was because humans were unable to control undead freely like him .

He also gave off a strange vibe .

Even if the man was human, Esen thought that the man would try to get rid of the malignant tumor first, but that didn’t seem to be true either .

“What is the Reign clan trying to do with it?”

As Muyoung asked while pointing towards the defenseless Disordered Terror, Esen knitted his brows .

“You seem to know about us?”

“I know everyone who hides like some rat . It seems like the Disordered Terror was made in collaboration of the three clans . No?”

Muyoung spoke of his hypothesis .

However, he believed it was highly likely .

The Reign, Lawless, and Beast clan weren’t hostile towards each other .

On top of that, for one clan to cultivate spirits and to find hosts, they would have to endure lots of blood loss and sacrifices .

Unless they truly did find Bae Sungmin by good fortune, at least few hundreds to some few thousands of people would have died .

An act that would eventually be discovered by others .

Once discovered, it would become a reason for them to be attacked by all the other groups .

Would one clan be able to bear that alone and resolve it?

‘Impossible . ’

Muyoung inwardly shook his head .

No matter if it was a clan from the Great Five Clans, if they didn’t have the cooperation of the other clans, it would be impossible .

Even more…

Within that mummy-like monster, there were three things .

The Disordered Terror, the light type spirit, and Bae Sungmin!

The three didn’t blend in together and continuously produced division .

Either way, there was no way for the Lawless clan to find and cultivate the Disordered Terror and the equally strong spirit of light alone .

At least Muyoung knew better than anyone else that they didn’t have the structure to do so .

‘Joint work of the three clans . However, they failed and all three took a different route . ’

This was most reasonable .

Even the fact that only members of these three clans out of the Five Great Clans appeared and that there was no other military strength around was all circumstantial evidence .

“You bastard, who sent you?”

Esen’s voice got quieter .

His reaction was enough .

He was skilled at hiding his emotions but he couldn’t be better than Muyoung .

An extremely subtle tremor was found in his breath .

Muyoung didn’t seem to be incorrect at least .

“The composition of power would be interesting from now on . ”

And due to Esen’s reaction, Muyoung couldn’t help but chuckle .

The three clans tried but they all failed .

However, they would continuously be suspicious of one another .

They might even start a war .

It was possible that they would send military forces to investigate the situation, and in doing so there was a probability that they could find out about Muyoung’s existence . But, as they were deeply suspicious of the other clans, they would fight to find out ‘who’s clan he belonged to’ .

Of course, even their alliance would disappear .

If coincidently related information was to be released, they would be busy trying to point each other out as suspects .

If the Holy City Mulalan was to also act, at least one out of three clans would definitely be destroyed .

The same thing might happen even if other guilds were to be aware, but there was a possibility for a transition of power to occur .

Humanity was dormant .

They resided in their territory and were busy seeking their own profit .

Although they had produced many of great strength, this strength was gradually left to rot .

If Muyoung’s predictions were correct and the bloodbath was to happen, then this wasted strength would be refocused on other things, opening up the possibility of a new wave .

‘Out of all the big groups, one would disappear . If that happened, the competition would become fierce . ’

And to fill in the gap of that group, a countless number of groups would rise .

Of course, it wasn’t just optimism .

In the worst case, a large group would come to an agreement but that possibility was extremely low .

Since there would be more than one group that would want to show off the strength that they’ve reserved for decades .

“This would be interesting?”

Esen was puzzled .

He spoke as if he was a third party who didn’t care at all .

In reality, it didn’t really matter, Esen had no doubt in his mind that Muyoung belonged to either the Lawless or Beast clan .

Muyoung held Anguish .

“Heidegger, Sword Two . Besides that man, get rid of the rest . ”

“I understand . ”

“I will execute your order . ”

Heidegger was the man who kidnapped people and kept them as slaves in the territory Muyoung was currently ruling .

However, he became an undead because of Muyoung and was faithfully following him .

He was able to switch his heart and depending on the heart used, he was able to use a different ability .

And currently, Heidegger was using the twin head ogre’s heart .

Compared to other undead, it was slightly lacking but Heidegger was fully able to complete one man’s worth of workload .

The rest of the lacking parts would be fulfilled by Sword Two .

“I’ll take care of that man . ”

Anguish pointed towards Esen .

At the remark that seemed to disregard him, Esen’s eyes trembled .

“Since I have a lot of things I’m curious about, I won’t kill you . ”

So, Esen reacted to his remark .

He held a long black spear and pointed the shaft towards Muyoung .

Swift!

The two instantly disappeared .

Esen’s spear was sharp .

His skills had been polished over a good 20 years .

Not everyone could become the Big Master of the most elite troops .

One throw of the spear was so exact that it could even take someone’s life away .

Clang!

The sword and spear clashed .

Sparks flew and their positions changed .

They exchanged attacks ten times .

‘He’s strong . ’

They were basically poking around .

Also, Muyoung was trying to figure out about how much of his current skills would work against him .

Esen was a big shot who could definitely be in the top 500 humans .

However, Muyoung blocked Esen’s attack every time .

‘I can see . ’

Muyoung was able to see the grains .

Simply by stats, Esen would be superior but Muyoung had the eyes that could see grains .

The grains were arranged in a certain direction .

Everything had their own unique grains .

Esen’s attack also showed a certain wave .

As his attack continuously got blocked, Esen withdrew his spear .

“I acknowledge that you have quite a decent skill . But, not enough . ”

And changed his spear .

As he stretched his hand, a crack was created in midair and a brown spear came down .

“There was no one who I couldn’t beat with the ‘Life-Eating Spear’ . If you don’t want to become pierced by this spear like a skewer, it’s best for you to surrender even now . ”

A spear that gave off a completely ominous feeling .

Truly, it felt like it wasn’t going to be an easy fight if he used that spear .

However, it wasn’t like Muyoung also didn’t have any cards up his sleeve .

Muyoung was able to see grains .

He accelerated grains .

Soon, the whole world started to become slower .

Grrrrrrr!

His body changed and two horns appeared .

Like a beast, a growling sound naturally popped out of his mouth .

“A dokkaebi…?”

Esen’s eyes widened .

He wondered if it was a transformation related skill but, his presence alone had changed .

He was similar to a dokkaebi but he was incomparable .

A duaxini? It felt the same .

He had no idea what that appearance was supposed to mean .

Tap!

As if he stopped, he stood there with Anguish in his hand .

And after that moment, Muyoung was near Esen in no time .

“…!”

Bang!

As Anguish and the spear met each other, it created an explosion .

Esen’s body also shook .

‘He’s fast . ’

Esen felt a big impact .

The opponent he thought had stopped was attacking him before he knew .

Esen fixed his eyes on Muyoung .

And once again, Muyoung disappeared .

Bang! Bang!

Although he was barely successful in blocking Muyoung’s attacks, his hand had become crushed .

Esen ground his teeth .

“You bastard!”

Slash!

They missed each other once .

Esen wasn’t naïve enough to be attacked with the same attack continuously .

Esen’s spear pierced Muyoung’s chest .

“You are too absorbed in attacking . Aren’t you too negligent in blocking?”

Esen mocked as he smiled .

Cough!

Muyoung coughed up blood .

However, Muyoung’s spirit didn’t die off at all .

“He doesn’t even know he had already died . ”

“What?”

Slaaash!

Both of his arms were cut off, and his body started to fall apart into dozens of sliced pieces .

Blood poured out from his whole body, drenching his surroundings .

Afterwards, Esen’s body that had turned into mere slices of meat fell to the ground .

’55 seconds . ’

If he took 5 more seconds, he might have been too late .

In a world that was 4 times faster, he doubled the time for a short while by using his Hermes’s Boots .

It didn’t multiply by 2 but the world became a total of 5 times faster, however, this was enough to win against Esen .

Swook!

Muyoung took out the spear that was in his chest after looking at the corpse .

Clank!

And after tossing the spear on the ground, he used his Cry of Fire skill to cauterize his wound .

He felt a grievous pain but he endured it .

Instead, he turned his head and looked at his surroundings .

Sword Two and Heidegger were performing very well . They were almost finished .

Once again, as he returned to human form and retracted his horns, symptoms of severe dehydration followed .

All his muscles quickly constricted .

But, he didn’t pass out .

‘Then…’

Stomp!

Muyoung walked properly .

The Disordered Terror plodded .

And it was at that moment when he faced the Disordered Terror .

Swooooooooosh!

The darkness imprinted within the heart of the Disordered Terror became intense .

The darkness ate up the light and as if it was going to encroached the world, it extended its scope and afterwards even engulfed Muyoung .

* * *

“I’m now complete . I have eaten up the Talisman and the spirit of light, and became an existence with the strength of a demigod!”

There was nothing besides darkness in his surroundings .

In the middle of it, the Disordered Terror cried out loud .

A huge shadow that looked like it touched the sky .

A black whirlpool of emotions that didn’t feel anything else besides evil .

“Offer your body to me . The body that fits me most in this place!”

The shadow stretched its feet .

Crash!

Muyoung quickly moved back .

He lifted his left arm and breathed out the Asura King’s Breath .

Pop!

However, the Asura King’s Breath didn’t produce a big blow .

“Useless . I’m already an existence of a demigod! I won’t be harmed by an attack produced by a mere human . ”

This black space seemed to be similar to a distinct barrier .

Inside it, the Disordered Terror was basically undefeatable .

Muyoung bit his lips .

He had already used most of his strength in facing Esen .

He thought that the Disordered Terror would become completely defenseless but he never expected that it would absorb more strength in the meantime .

Once again, he summoned all his undead .

However, as the Disordered Terror stretched out its hand, all the souls of the undead were all swept away .

The Hellhorse was stuck outside the barrier that it was unable to enter .

‘This will be difficult . ’

There was no answer like this .

It didn’t seem like he could fight .

If he was to lose like this, the Disordered Terror would steal his body like it said .

It was when he just realized his defeat .

Swoosh!

From Muyoung’s bosom, a talisman shined .

‘This is?’

Muyoung took out the talisman .

There were four letters written on the talisman .

Seek life, instant death .

Those who seek death shall live .

After looking at it, Muyoung raised a shudder for a moment .

It was the talisman Saint Snow gave to Muyoung .

Or rather, the gatekeeper of a world tree, Swell, gave it to him instead .

Could it have been left to be used at this moment?

‘Those who seek death shall live . ’

Muyoung nodded his head .

It was better to fight with his life on the line than to give up his body .

He had never admitted his defeat .

It seemed like he was out of his mind for a moment due to the unknown terror the Disordered Terror released .

The moment he realized, his shoulders became lighter .

Fighting fiercely .

Wasn’t that Muyoung’s usual way?
