Chapter 140: Sky Devil Church (End)
TL: Nadu
Editor: Lesurous
Rippp!
Crunch!
The tentacles absorbed everything .
Like the suckers of an octopus, they latched onto everything and absorbed them as is .
“Shit! What is this?!”
As the building was destroyed, the people inside it came out .
Even though it was the evening, this place was in the inner parts of the Great City .
If there was a commotion, there were, of course, people who would gather .
Maybe because of this, Hyungbish didn’t seem like he was going to drag it out too long .
Sword Two sliced a tentacle, took a step forward, and asked Muyoung .
“Please, give me your order . ”
“Take care of the jiangshi . I’ll take care of him . ”
The 10th type, the red jiangshi and the 4th type, the black jiangshi .
The jiangshi were corpses and they were unable to feel pain .
Even if their attacks didn’t reach Muyoung, they were still enough to be a hindrance .
Muyoung made Sword Two, Sword Three, and the King Mutant take care of those creatures .
It seemed like he could categorize the red jiangshi as at most being high rank, and the black jiangshi at the 1st level of the highest rank .
Just by simple calculations, his undead might seem lacking but Sword Two, Sword Three, and the King Mutant weren’t ordinary undead .
Just because their levels of power were similar didn’t mean the results of the fight would be the same for the fight between the undead .
It was enough if they just stalled .
‘Hyungbish, let’s settle this today . ’
In the past, when Muyoung was active as an assassin .
Muyoung had a connection with Hyungbish .
While he was completing an assassination, he had to face the person’s bodyguard .
While he succeeded in his assassination of the target, Hyungbish had crazily gained on him .
Muyoung tried to avoid useless fights and make an escape, but because Hyungbish persistently followed him, they fought day and night for two days .
In the end, they both became wrecks and the fight became a draw, but now was the time to complete the match that they weren’t able to finish back then .
“Receive my Baptism of Death . ”
Hyungbish repeated a spell .
Then, on top of his head, a space was opened and a huge skeleton’s face popped out .
The skeleton’s blank eyes looked at Muyoung .
‘Death . ’
That skeleton was death itself .
The power to kill the person it continuously looked at .
A skill that was like a big cheat . However, it definitely had a limit .
‘The Six Paths, the Asura’s Path . ’
Muyoung also opened the entrance to another world .
If death popped out then he just needed to fight it with his own manifestation of death .
-It’s been awhile since I’ve breathed the air outside!
Murdudun popped out in a semi transparent form .
Murdudun wore a gold crown and held a silver trident but there was a change in his outer appearance .
His body was similar to a frog but his head was changed to something similar to a seahorse .

It seemed like he was slowly taking the form of the Murdudun King in past literature .
“Fight against death . ”
-Is Death the name of the skeleton? He is truly ugly!
Murdudun laughed uproariously and called out specters .
The numbers were a staggering three thousand!
It appears it was more quantity than quality but it was more than enough to wrap around that skeleton’s head .
As his skill became instantly disabled, Hyungbish frowned .
“What a strange guy . ”
The gaze Hyungbish gave Muyoung was definitely filled with shock and respect .
He was surprised that there was someone else besides him who could control corpses as well as death, and the fact that all of this wasn’t ordinary seemed to have produced these sorts of emotions .
However, was that really all?
Swoosh!
Muyoung held Anguish .
At the same time, a horn sprouted on his head .
“Now spiritism? I guess I need to dissect you after I kill you . ”
Astonishment . And the continuation of surprise .
In a pure way, Hyungbish respected Muyoung .
Although Muyoung did try to assassinate him, the skills Muyoung showed were beyond plain and close to extraordinary .
Hyungbish also found out that the identity of that horn was evidence of a god’s gift .
‘A god who’s extremely rough and strong . ’
However, that was all .
Just because he received a gift from a god, it didn’t make him invincible .
‘However, it’s only a drop in the bucket compared to the god I serve . ’
The tentacles gathered near Hyungbish more quickly .
Within time, his whole body was wrapped with tentacles and within it, a black eye popped out .
Pushh!
Muyoung’s sword reached him . But, it touched a thin layer .
‘The grains are continuously changing . ’
After the tentacles wrapped around the whole body, as if numerous bodies were put together, there were tons of grains and they continuously changed .
In Muyoung’s position, you couldn’t help but say that he was a picky opponent to fight against .
“The god I serve is the master of the sky! The true Sky Devil . ”
Kewwwwyooo!
The skeleton cried out loud .
Including Murdudun, the specters were greatly swayed by it .
If Muyoung was to drag on like this, death would once again look at Muyoung .
Hyungbish spoke .
“It’s incomparable to the blessings of a minor god . ”
“You talk too much . ”
A minor god? If Asura heard this, he would personally take his head .
Hyungbish moved .
Crank!
Anguish stopped Hyungbish’s movement .
Then, Hyungbish stretched his body and attacked Muyoung .
‘Even grains have a constant form . ’
Muyoung concentrated his mind .
Like water flowing in a river, he calmed his mind and paid attention to the form Hyungbish’s grains created .
“Look! This is the power given to me by the master of the sky! Incomparable to a gift given by a minor god . ”
Twong . Twooong . Twooooong .
The attacks stopped at regular intervals .
When the grains changed, the sound was different .
A difference that no one else but Muyoung could tell .
‘Now . ’
He changed his attitude .
Muyoung moved .
Then, Hyungbish wasn’t able to follow Muyoung’s speed easily .

Puuush!
The middle of the heart was accurately pierced .
“It won’t do any…”
“There is nothing absolute in the world . ”
He might think that if he was to get injured, he just would need to recover once again .
As that’s what happened up until now, he spoke as if it was nothing .
However, what Muyoung had pierced was the start of the grains .
All things in the world had grains and when that part was focused, no matter how strong and firm it was, it would crumble .
Slaash!
Muyoung’s sword drew a line .
‘I can’t recover?’
Hyungbish’s eye was instantly filled with fear .
The regeneration had stopped . His body didn’t move as well . As if he was stabbed by a hook .
It was the first time this had happened .
When he met Moon, Moon was able to oppress his devilishness, but wasn’t able to confine his body .
However, this guy was strange from beginning to end .
He was eccentric .
“Oom Baroshio, Coon Jaruja…”
Hyungbish cast a curse .
Then, the surrounding space was distorted and a new world started to form .
It was ‘Trial Creation’ .
He was trying to create a trial forcefully and separate his body .
Even in front of Muyoung, a message related to the trial started to pop up .
A small hole .
The trial didn’t expand yet .
Muyoung continued to strike the grains and took out a dagger from his side .
And threw it inside the end part of the small hole .
‘Everything has grains . ’
This world would also have grains for sure .
If Muyoung was to surpass King Slayer’s level, he would definitely be able to see him again .
It was the same about the trial .
Even more, when it wasn’t completely created .
It was much easier to read the grains .
Riip! Riiiiippp!
The dagger Muyoung threw was nailed to the grains of the trial .
Then, the trial that was being created was once again destroyed .
Hyungbish looked at it as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing .
“Who, who, are you? How is this possible?!”
Something that couldn’t have happened, had happened .
Now, it wasn’t even extraordinary .
It was impossible!
An area where he couldn’t understand in his head .
A gift from god?
Simply just by looking at what Muyoung had accomplished, it was enough to make others believe he was a god himself .
However, that was Hyungbish’s last regret .
Asura’s blessing .
A strengthening of a title!
It wasn’t bad .
However, Muyoung paid attention to the residue left after Hyungbish changed .
As evidence of a god’s gift, a black eye popped out that then turned into a small gem and rolled onto the ground .
When he grabbed the fragment with his hand and looked at it, the Eye of the Sky was activated .
Name: Immortal’s Fragment
Rank: None
Effect: A fragment of the Immortal king . When the fragments are collected, it transforms into an essence and the essence becomes a material to administer the strength of the ‘Immortal King’ .
“…!”
The Immortal King .
He had found the second clue .
He never thought Hyungbish would have it .
‘Moon would also have a fragment of the Immortal King . ’
There were a lot of similarities between the energy felt by Hyungbish and Moon .
However, Moon was much stronger than Hyungbish .
It meant that Moon had a bigger fragment or more fragments than Hyungbish .
‘Art of Death . ’
From the tips of Muyoung’s hand, a dark energy stretched out .
A>
Name: Hyungbish
Level: 435
Type: Dark Champion
Strength 440
Agility 379
Stamina 500
Intelligence 422
Wisdom 385
Magic Resistance 330
Power of Death 410
+ Skills Tentacles (A), Jiangshi Technique (A+), Death (A+), and Devilification (A) are usable
+ Understanding of death (Immune to mind control)
+ Extraordinary defense ability
+ At most, 20th type of jiangshi can be controlled
As Hyungbish was turned into an undead, the surrounding jiangshi also stopped moving .
And as they were dependent on Hyungbish, they slowly kneeled to Muyoung .
“Greetings, Master of Darkness . ”
There were five red jiangshi and three black jiangshi that were fine .
Just with this, his military strength had greatly risen .
Not enough to reach Moon, but enough to sway the Command Clan .
‘Moon . You have a fragment . ’
Muyoung’s eyes became heavier .
Moon didn’t just have an Immortal’s Fragment but another fragment as well .
‘Fragments of the Fissure . ’
He remembered how Anguish cried when he approached closer to him .
It had realized that another Fragment of the Fissure was nearby and cried .
Gremory asked Muyoung to find three fragments .
And among them, one was kept by Moon, the sect leader of the Sky Devil Church .
Moon’s eyebrows wiggled .
‘He has started to disturb my source . ’
The six hexagrams placed within the whole Great City .
They were Moon’s strength but that wasn’t all .
However, the Sun Guild was disturbing the hexagrams thinking that they could just weaken Moon’s strength .
‘Those fools, it’s already too late . ’
Of course, it was definitely enough to weaken Moon’s power .
But, they were already too late in dealing with a more important matter .
The hexagrams have already absorbed the energy they needed .
The preparation in creating a trial was also completed .
Since they had already completed a few dozen experiments to check that there was nothing wrong, now it was time to complete the final step .
Moon smiled .
And spread both arms wide .
“Oh, Sky Devil!”
Swoooosh-!
Red stars started to fall from the sky .
Although they seemed like a group of shooting stars, they all didn’t seem right .
A scene hard to see even in the Demon God’s Territory .
However, this was all planned by Moon .
He was the sect leader of the Sky Devil Church .
And what Moon wanted to carry out in the Great City was the advent of the Sky Devil .
Soon, the hexagrams that wrapped around the Great City started to emit red light towards the end of the sky .
The falling stars reacted to the light and were altered into blood .
It felt like the world was covered by the light .
Moon shivered .
At last, at last!
After a long time of waiting, he attained his long-cherished desire .
From Moon’s forehead and both wrists, a Devil’s Seal came into view .
At the same time .
The Great City was drenched in blood .

Loremaster: A Progression Dark Fantasy
Serena had died a Celestial. One of the few who were meant to rule over the vast multiverse. Yet she was inexplicably reborn. Carrying the knowledge of her past life, she seeks to do what her kind does best... rule. Yet, the multiverse isn't what it once was. Mortals aspire to become what the celestials once were, through levels or classes or cultivation. New things that didn't and shouldn't exist. And these mortals are only the beginning of what stands in her way. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Warning: There will be times that morally suspect themes happen. While I have little to no intention of showing them (especially during a Writathon) things like abuse of all kinds (neglect, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual) can or be implied to have happened. These are played to the horrors such things are, and are treated with the seriousness and aftereffects it would cause. Progression + Cultivation + GameLit + Multiverse + Slow Build + Slow Burn + Worldbuilding + Grimbright + Multiple POVs = Insanity for all. This the first time I am seriously writing an original story. I will be Writing each book in Parts/Arcs (3-6) with mini arcs (3-6 in each arc). Each Mini-arc is 5-14 or so chapters. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me. The Game Lit aspects will be more in the background, with focus on other details like dungeons, monsters, loot, morality, and so on. There will be focus on various kinds of progression. Updates 3-5 days a week (Usually weekdays). Chapters will be roughly 1000-2500 words and alternate wildly.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.
