Chapter 305: 305

* * * Shu-wuwu— At first, it was nothing more than a gentle breeze . ‘What is he doing?’ Hak-joon wondered . Su-hyeun’s actions confused him . Su-hyeun didn’t bother to rouse a lot of magical energy nor did he swing the sword in a particularly threatening manner . He wielded that weapon as if it was weightless . “When he said ‘Palm Leaf’, isn’t that…,” Hak-joon pondered . Whoosh! But just before Hak-joon could ask his questions, the wind began to blow harsher . Shortly after, it turned viciously sharp . An unbelievable spectacle happened afterwards .

Pi-pit! Pipipipipipipik—The most up-to-date novels are published on l/ig//htnovelpub[ . ]com Splat! Slice, slice, slice . In an instant, the sharp wind transformed into a windstorm . It then killed countless of monsters that it encountered along the way . Blood was splattered all around, and mutilated body parts were literally flying in all directions . Su-hyeun didn’t have to swing his sword . The windstorm did most of the job . It appeared to be sharper than any known blades as it mercilessly tore and cut the monsters’ bodies . “Whoa!” “What the hell is…” “Blow away!” However, Su-hyeun wasn’t satisfied with that one swing . He felt that something was lacking, so he swung his sword again . “Palm Leaf . ”Follow current novels on light/nov/elpub[ . ]com Whoosh! Windstorms were roused once more . It was more savage this time . It destroyed the monsters trying to cross from Gangwon Province . A lot of them were killed, and the scene was terrifying . Drip . Dribble . Tumble . Drip . Mutilated body parts were all over the place . Having witnessed everything that transpired at that moment, Hak-joon was speechless; he couldn’t believe it . He was amazed that he forgot how exhausted he was . ‘If it’s bro…’ He wondered if Su-hyeun could deal with all these monsters by himself . It didn’t take long for him to realize that it was definitely possible . Result-wise, it was indeed a possibility . However, the process to achieve that result completely differed from what Hak-joon had imagined . ‘What the hell is this?’Visit ligh/t/novelpub[ . ]com for a better experience He still couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed . ‘It was…it was too easy . ’ It was mere two strokes of a sword . Su-hyeun caused windstorms to destroy all monsters using only his sword . This was another level of power compared to every wind-type attack skill Hak-joon knew of . There was no need to suspect ‘it’ from the very beginning . Su-hyeun was still out of reach somewhere farther than Hak-joon thought . “You guys feeling okay?” “Ah…yes,” Hak-joon replied with a nod . Less than one or two minutes ago, they were surrounded by countless monsters . Now, they were all killed . Hak-joon and Thomas were still trying to get a grip on the current situation . Too tired to even stand, Hak-joon and Thomas simply plopped down on the ground and rested . Even Thomas, who would normally get excited to talk to Su-hyeun, lay on the ground to relax . Updated from lightnovelpub[ . ]//com “Bro, how did you get here anyway?” Hak-joon asked, eager to know . “Brother Ju-ho told me that he couldn’t get in touch with you,” Su-hyeun related . “He informed me of your whereabouts, so I learned that you were here, fighting monsters . ” “When did you come back from the trial, though? I thought you would be stuck there for a long while, with no save zones this time . ” “About 10 minutes ago? Not sure . ” “Ten minutes?” Hak-joon’s eyes widened . He could not believe what he just heard . Hak-joon was puzzled with Su-hyeun’s reply . No matter how hard he thought about it, there was just no way that Su-hyeun could have gotten there so fast . “Brother Ju-ho called me on the phone, and he told me that you guys were here . And then, I got here quickly because of an item I acquired in a trial a while ago . ” The ‘Celestial King’s Feather’… This item allowed Su-hyeun to teleport to a location from his memories . Its name was similar to a skill that Su-hyeun already possessed . This content is taken from li/g/htnovelpub[ . ]c/om Su-hyeun explain the item’s effect to Hak-joon, and he soon understood . It now made sense how Su-hyeun could travel as fast as lightning . “Okay… So,” Su-hyeun began, “what is up with this situation? Brother Ju-ho simply said it was too urgent and I should hurry up . I wasn’t able to ask him for details . ” “Well, what happened was…,” Hak-joon began to describe what happened during the past 20 days to Su-hyeun . While listening, Su-hyeun’s expression gradually changed . Gangwon Province had to be abandoned for good . There was an outbreak of dungeons—too many that they proved difficult to stop . Recent events were indeed disastrous . “Does that mean Gangwon is completely deserted at present?” Su-hyeun inquired . “Yes . ” “You sure?” “Yes, I’m sure,” Hak-joon confirmed . “Before the first dungeon became an outbreak, we had confirmed that everyone was evacuated through the usual means, and the whole of Gangwon Province was set as a restricted area afterwards . ”Follow current novels on li/g/h/tnovelpub[ . ]/com “Really?” Su-hyeun had a strange expression after listening to Hak-joon’s explanation . “So that’s the case, isn’t it?” Su-hyeun’s gaze shifted to his sword, which he put back in its scabbard . ‘Will the size of Gangwon be sufficient for it?’ Su-hyeun wondered . He had not confirmed it yet, but that didn’t mean he had found a suitable location to test it out either . Any old magic circle would not be enough to withstand the power of his weapon . That’s why he had been patiently waiting for the right opportunity . The situation was certainly terrible, but it was also the opportunity he had been waiting for . If he succeeded today, resolving this crisis would become so much easier as well . “Very good,” Su-hyeun muttered . “Excuse me? What is good?” Hak-joon asked Su-hyeun . “I’m going to get rid of all monsters in Gangwon Province,” Su-hyeun declared confidently, without hesitation . Su-hyeun’s response didn’t surprise Hak-joon . He was in fact expecting it . Visit l//ightnove/lpub[ . ]c/om for a better experience He barely managed to suppress the corners of his lips from smiling . “Is it okay for Thomas and I to come with you?” he then asked, hoping for a positive response . Hak-joon still wanted to fight alongside Su-hyeun even though the latter had gotten so far ahead of him that it was difficult to reach his current level . Besides, even before Su-hyeun came back, Hak-joon had been feeling quite frustrated by the fact that they had to abandon Gangwon Province . However, if Hak-joon and others worked with Su-hyeun, Lee Ju-ho would not have any issues about them going to Gangwon and reclaiming it from the monsters . Not only that, they would also raid those dungeons that had yet to be conquered . But then… “Nah, there’s no need,” Su-hyeun refused to Hak-joon’s dismay . Rip . Gya-ong! Su-hyeun raised his hand in the air, and Miru emerged . The red dragon poked its head out first . Then after spotting Hak-joon and Thomas, it greeted them . The most up-to-date novels are published on ligh/tnovelpu/b[ . ]com It had been a while since Hak-joon last saw Miru . He began to pat its head to say hi before turning around to speak to Su-hyeun . “Tell me, why did you summon Miru?” “I’m going to hop over there for a bit . ” “Eh? Where?” “I’ll be back in no time . Take a rest . Recover your strength . Miru, let’s get going . ” Gya-ong! Miru turned its back to Hak-joon when Su-hyeun called it . Su-hyeun lightly jumped up and mounted the dragon, and the duo quickly soar into the sky . Shu-ahahaha— Despite not activating the gigantic option, Miru’s flight speed easily rivaled an average plane . Hak-joon watched Su-hyeun and Miru took off and muttered to himself, “But this place reeks of blood, you know…”New novel chapters are published on lightno/vel/pub/[ . ]/com While standing amidst the blood and thousands of mutilated body parts, Hak-joon could only groan under his breath . Snore . In the meantime, Thomas had already fallen asleep and was loudly snoring . * * * Swoosh! Swoosh! Su-hyeun directed Miru to fly to Gangwon, where all those monsters were coming from . While riding on the red dragon’s back, Su-hyeun could only tut at the sight of countless monsters on the ground . ‘Just how many of them are down there?’ Su-hyeun mused . The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelpub[ . ]com Hak-joon explained that far too many dungeons had appeared in Gangwon, and it was almost impossible to count them all . And that’s why the higher-ups decided to abandon Gangwon Province, which had a low population density, and dispatch the available manpower to the capital as well as to the rest of the province . Su-hyeun tried to count the monsters currently scattered in Gangwon but eventually gave up . His priority was to check if there were survivors instead of checking out how many monsters made camp in this place . Shu-wuwu— Su-hyeun’s eye color suddenly changed . After activating the Sage’s Eye, he was able to see clearly everything beneath him . He was like a satellite from space looking down on Earth . It was not that hard to know the monsters’ locations, their actual number, and even what they looked like . It was like practicing clairvoyance . ‘For sure it is completely deserted,’ Su-hyeun thought . It seemed that the evacuation had been carried out smoothly . No, wait . If some people could not be evacuated and had to remain in Gangwon, then, unfortunately, it would not be possible for those people to survive until now . Follow current novels on l/ightnovelpub[ . ]com The odds of normal people, not awakeners, surviving amidst all those monsters and their attacks were very slim . ‘In that case…’ Su-hyeun rubbed Miru’s head, signaling the dragon to stop midair . He then unsheathed the Palm Leaf Sword . “No more reason to hesitate then,” Su-hyeun finally decided . He looked down at the ground . Quite a few monsters were looking up at him, sensing his presence from afar . However, the distance between them was too great, and all they could do was bare their fangs and wait for Su-hyeun to come down from the sky . He closed his eyes for a while . When he opened them, he began to focus on the wind on the Palm Leaf Sword . He firmly held the sword . —Do you want to know how First Brother fought in his prime? Su-hyeun was curious about how the Bull Demon King fought during his time, so he asked Sun Wukong about it . The source of this content is lig/htnovelpub[ . //]com Sun Wukong scratched his chin as he tried to remember . After a while, he realized that he wasn’t sure how to relate it to Su-hyeun . However, eventually, he opened his mouth . —Well, he just swings, and everyone is dead . When Su-hyeun heard that, he wondered what Sun Wukong was referring to . The latter’s information was not that clear . But not too long after that, Su-hyeun realized that Sun Wukong literally meant what he said . He actually pointed out the obvious . ‘That’s how I learned about the existence of the Palm Leaf Fan, didn’t I?’ Su-hyeun became interested in the fan afterwards . He never witnessed the Bull Demon King wielding the Palm Leaf Fan before, but he still asked both Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King in passing several times anyway . …Asking them just what kind of a weapon the Palm Leaf Fan was . —When it is wielded, everyone dies . For more, visit lightnovelpub[ . ]/com —… Su-hyeun had never imagined that the Bull Demon King, whose personality was entirely different from Sun Wukong’s, would reply in the exact same manner . But the Bull Demon King was kind enough to elaborate what kind of an item the Palm Leaf Fan was . He also mentioned how he wielded the fan as a weapon in battle, too . —The Palm Leaf Fan is basically a fan that controls a typhoon . —Controls a typhoon? But how do you use that kind of weapon in a fight? —In layman’s terms, it means the fan can control that much power . Moreover, the ability to control the wind through the Palm Leaf Fan thoroughly depends on the wielder’s will . —Wielder’s will? —Do not fear the wind . New novel chapters are published on ligh/tn/ovel/pu/b[ . ]com The Bull Demon King suddenly said something that made little sense . —Only then will you be able to command the wind . Looking back, it was possible that the Bull Demon King had started entertaining the idea of gifting the Palm Leaf Fan to Su-hyeun from that moment on . After all, it was the Bull Demon King who taught Su-hyeun how to wield the fan . Besides, Su-hyeun had not forgotten his advice: not to fear the wind . This advice was etched on Su-hyeun’s memory, for only then he would be able to command the wind, the Palm Leaf Fan . Su-hyeun did fear the wind until now . But it wasn’t because he was scared of being injured . No . On the contrary, he feared that the wind he roused would become too powerful and out of control, and kill countless other people . That was the only reason why he feared the wind . ‘But now…’ Su-hyeun continued to attract the wind . He didn’t set any limit for himself . This large piece of land called Gangwon Province was completely deserted right now, after all . “There’s no need to worry,” he muttered to himself . New novel chapters are published on lightn/ovelpub[ . ]com He could do whatever he wanted; he could go all out . Ki-ing— As Su-hyeun held the Palm Leaf Sword, magical energy began to surround it . The wind permeating the weapon swirled and danced violently like sharp blades . Su-hyeun knew he would not be satisfied by simply creating a ‘typhoon’ here . That wouldn’t be powerful enough to kill less than half of the monsters that emerged from the dungeons . Su-hyeun’s weapon was not a fan, but a sword . It was sharper than before and even more powerful . “Rage on . ” While whispering softly, Su-hyeun released all the wind gathered to the Palm Leaf Sword at once . “Palm Leaf!”Visit lightn/ovelpub[ . ]com for the best novel reading experience And then, the wind blew by—no, a ‘typhoon’ blew by . Whoosh! Ku-gu, ku-gugugugu— A huge typhoon consumed the large land called Gangwon Province in an instant . Cha-jak, rip . Ki-aah! Screams of pain resonated from the ground . Meanwhile, Su-hyeun looked down at his torn and injured hand and muttered to himself, “Well, this much is so-so . ” He was still not proficient with handling the Palm Leaf Sword . Palm Leaf was mighty powerful and aggressive like a bull . Even though it was fairly easy to maneuver the intricacies of its power, the rebound was also equally strong that Su-hyeun often ended up getting injured in the process . Follow current novels on lightnovelp/ub[ . ]com On the other hand, the Somersault cloud was much ‘safer’ . However, utilizing all of its power was a harder task to accomplish . Both of them had their pros and cons, and those happened to be in complete opposite of each other . Ku-ruk, krrrk—

Su-hyeun looked down at the surviving monsters from the sky . They were inflicted with many wounds, but it would only take little time for death to come and take them . The superior-level monsters from blue- and green-colored dungeons were not wipe out by the Palm Leaf Fan’s typhoon and were still breathing . It seemed that due to the large area, the typhoon generated by the sword could not inflict a great deal of impact on an individual target . ‘But, if it is only that many…,’ Su-hyeun contemplated . Su-hyeun extended his hand upwards . Ku-gugugu—

When he did, clouds began to form, consuming a large amount of his magical energy . Currently, it wasn’t that hard to use his magical energy to generate heat, then create some steam to ‘summon’ clouds . “Strike down!” Squeeze! Su-hyeun clenched his fist and spoke loudly, “Somersault cloud . ”
