Chapter 332: Peerless Martial Arts (4)

Dududud!

The sword of ice, which had the condensed energy, came out from Cheon Miryo.

Ice Crystal Air Sword—

Dozens of longswords of transparent ice, five feet long, were unleashed. It was an amazing and vicious onslaught.

Chaak!

"Hmmm!"

In the midst of the ice crystals and ice arts, Cheon Wol-seong raised his right hand in front of him and concentrated.

Daduk!

The cold energy which was about to hit him immediately changed direction.

It was a skill enough to shake an enemy's attack, able to move a thousand pounds. Originally it was impossible to do such a thing with a simple hand movement.

"Ahh! Huh!"

But the player with the body of the Heavenly Demon was intentionally doing it, and he was able to use this skill to return the attack back to the opponent.

Woahhhhh!

Hundreds of ice blades—

Cheon Miryo clearly saw that the attack she unleashed was handled by the opponent. If she understood, then she would become the one being attacked.

"Ahh!"

But she chose to attack instead of defend.

Papapat!

She also had the strength to freeze time. The furious movements of her continued to speed up as she took each step, and in the end, she moved at an incredible speed that even the illusions were getting erased.

Crack!

Despite being hit by the portion of the energy wave and getting pushed back by Cheon Wol-seong, she still managed to rush ahead.

Swish!

This colorless, dazzling light struck the Heavenly Demon in the chest. And it pierced through him.

"Kuak!"

Cheon Wol-seong stumbled. The ice arts — the ultimate and best martial arts which a Supreme being could use, Cold Temperature Enhancement.

Just like the annihilation arts of the Heavenly Demon, Cheon Miryo also used the extreme energy of coldness which would normally not exist in the natural world.

This extreme cold wind of the north pole — There was a legend which said even the soul could freeze up, and the attacks of her now would be a fatal wound for the opponent.

Dududuk!

However, Cheon Miryo overlooked one simple thing.

The Heavenly Demon was struck by her power. Even though his stomach was pierced and the wound began to freeze, Cheon Wol-Seng could still move.

"...?!!!"

It was not just some simple defense of strengthening the body. The point was that the body of the Heavenly Demon itself had crossed the boundaries of humans, and it was no different from him being an immortal now.

Chaak! Crack!

While his stomach was being torn apart, the demonic arts of Cheon Wol-seong was activated again without caring about his body.

"Heavenly Demon's Five Swords!"

Kwaak! Kwaaak!

The air around them began to tremble as it had been split and aimed for Cheon Miryo. Cheon Miryo gasped in alarm and tried to move away.

"Thunder Heavenly Sword!"

Chiiing!

With a deafening roar, another wave of black sword attacks came forward — The Thunder Heavenly Sword.

The last technique was the Heavenly Demon's Five Swords which required the most internal energy.

This was a technique which forcibly grabbed all the attributes in the air and used them as an intangible attack.

Swish

The range reached around hundred feet around them, and it was this strength which would sweep away everything which existed there.

The attack that was manifested, even if Cheon Miryo was at Profound Demon, she would have a hard time. The black looking enhanced qi also had other attributes in it, and it would cut down anything.

"Ehh!"

Cheon Miryo quickly used her internal energy to create a shield around her. In the first place, the ice attributes martial arts spoke of the unpierceable ice wall. Especially since she had better defense, it was believed that she would be successful because of her experience.

But before she knew it, she saw an old sword ahead of her which made her shocked. A small blow that landed in the midst of death was coming for her.

The sword which missed her immediately turned into the shape of a person.

"Is it my time?"

Swish!

Did the man calculate all this?

Cheon Wol-seong thrust his sword straight ahead without a moment's hesitation or additional time. He went for her heart.

Kang! Tang!

"...!"

But the sword which should have pierced her heart was caught by something else.

"No, time control...?"

It was none other than Seol-Hwi who held the sword.

"Did you think that you alone could use it?"

He pretended to be fine, but Seol-Hwi had sweat coming down his head.

The time control technique he used was not too difficult, but if it was a normal one, there was no way Cheol Wol-seong would not know how to counter it.

Because he deliberately moved in advance to a space where Cheon Miryo would not reach. Because of this, he had to approach the opponent from a distance and with an extremely swift movement so that he would not notice.

It felt like his brain was melting. But thanks to the AI, he was able to stop this attack even if it was at close range.

Kwaang!

As Seol-Hwi held the sword, he brought out the Absolute Supreme Demonic Arts and then attacked.

"Kuak!"

Screams of suffocation rose then. Even the Heavenly Demon was caught by this.

Thud! Thud!

"Miss Cheon. Are you alright?"

Not caring about the condition of the Heavenly Demon, Seol-Hwi looked at the safety of Cheon Miryo.

It was a truly dangerous situation. For an instant, she raised the internal energy of her body and defended herself by using it as a shield, but she did not expect the attack of the Heavenly Demon to be at close range.

"I understand it. I am pretty upset too. But that was his goal right from the start."

Seol-Hwi did not reprimand her.

The fight between the two, in a fight between warriors of the top most realm, a single mistake could cost them their lives, and she was not the kind of person to not know such a thing.

However, as long as she was human, seeing the horror of someone losing their life in front of her eyes could not be handled.

And the opponent was sly and hard to deal with, so unless they chose to abandon their human side—

"It is alright to feel sad or angry. Think of something else instead. Getting too into it is what he wants us to do."

"...Yes."

"Get ready then. It looks like he will be doing something terrible."

Seol-Hwi pointed to the one side with a stiff expression.

Dududk.

There, the Heavenly Demon, whose body had turned limp at the hit, was starting to get up.

Crack. Whish!

But, like a butterfly, being born out of the cocoon, the Heavenly Demon fully alright, as he jumped out from behind the wounded skin.

"As expected. Seol-Hwi you are a person worthy of being Profound Demon."

"..."

"To come in after breaking through a 98.2% chance of success. It feels like a meeting with a true nemesis after a long time."

Smile

The Heavenly Demon smiled, not knowing whether it was due to a sense of admiration or interest—

"The odds of success..."

As expected earlier, it seems like the attack had been stimulated. And the odds were 98.2%?

It meant that if it was not for Seol-Hwi, then Cheon Miryo would have been dead.

Kuuuk

The eyes of the three Profound Demon warriors met, and in the midst of this battle, the two of them walked around Cheon Wol-seong.

Chak! Chak! Swish.

The face was firm, and the eyes and their appearance said it was someone from the group of Seol-Hwi.

It was Co Ah-ran and Ack Bi.

"Ah..."

Cheon Miryo stuttered. She must have known that this was what Seol-Hwi had been talking about.

And now two are lost.

Cho Ah-ran and Ack-bi, those two were clearly beheaded earlier by Cheon Wol-seong.

Even so, now they were trying to protect the man who killed them, and were ready to attack at any time.

"To play with the dead... you will never get a peaceful death! You will truly be punished!"

"Kuak. It is funny when the Demonic Sect people speak about punishments."

When Cheon Miryo was enraged, Cheon Wol-seong laughed.

"No matter what you say or how bad your anger is, you can do as you please. In the end, you will die in my hands, and that is as long as I have Simulation."

Shhhh

As the Heavenly Demon said that, the faces of the two changed.

Their faces turned pure like snow and her eyes went black. Not just the pupils but even the whites of her eyes were now black, as if the evil had stepped in.

-This is bad... Cho Ah-ran and Ack Bi cannot be normal soulless,

The AI said.

"Not normal soulless...? That means he messed with some shit again?"

Seol-Hwi almost cursed. Could the situation get any worse now?

-Raise your eyes and take a good look. That guy is sharing his martial arts with them. It is no different from an empty spirit body.

But who cares, there was a basement under the floor. Seol-Hwi pulled internal energy into his eyes and looked at the soulless like the AI said.

And he saw this faintly clear haze extending from the top of the heads of the two people. Cho Ah-ran and Ack Bi, and from their heads to Cheon Wol-seong.

Was this what it meant to share internal energy? Suddenly, he felt very creeped out.

"No, wait... what is this? Are you saying the two of them are Profound Demon then?"

-Probably.

"Insane..."

The number of enemies on the level of Profound Demon suddenly went from one to three. It was the verdict that was nothing short of a lightning coming to his head.

-The actual ability might be somewhat low but the power is shared. Well... there is nothing more to be concerned about other than that.

"Can it get any worse either?"

-Unfortunately they share a bond like a life bond. As long as that is there, even if you cut the head of the Sect Leader, he will come back to life as long as the others breathe.

"...They do insane things."

It might be a hopeless situation, and Seol-Hwi was feeling frustrated.

The state of reaching Profound Demon was not an easy one. It was quite possible to endow the bodies of the dead with energy and make them a puppet.

He could understand all that. But—

"Why behave like that?"

Was it the quality? He could not understand why the Sect Leader would do such a thing as using a corpse he had killed.

-Hmm. Well. The purpose is to stir up your anger. If there is an existence that creates an opening... it would be of welcome to them.

"This is why he is someone I cannot live under the same sky."

Seol-Hwi frowned because it was exactly the answer he hoped.

-I guess so. There is this saying. Fighting isn't about winning... just an act to piss off the opponent...

Right.

Wheik

These Blood Demons rose in front of the Heavenly Demon. Cho Ah-ran, the woman once known as the Cold Blooded Witch—

Her face split, and she had the most horrid appearance, but the red scent of blood came rising from her hands.

Normally she would use normal blood.

Swish!

But the other hand was displaying a strange change. The color of blood began to change to white.

-Yin Yang Blood Demon. The martial arts technique which comes at the extreme. And with the temperature difference so extreme from one moment to another, with just one hit, even the body gets destroyed at once.

"...Insane."

Was this the effect of using the martial arts of Cheon Wol-seong?

Cho Ah-rang's Blood Demon Hand was at least one step higher than before.

"Uhhhh...."

And the Ice Moon God Demon, Ack Bi—

He had this odd appearance too, his face split in half with cold energy at his hands.

Wheeing

If one learned Ice Moon Divine Arts from the start, one can leap into something further. But then this white mist covered the body.

-Heavenly Yang Ice Moon arts. Maybe similar to the Yin Yang Blood Demon Hand. All the absolute martial arts.

"..."

Cheon Wol-seong was making them raise their abilities and used them as his own bodyguards.

"Miss."

Seol-Hwi looked at Cheon Miryo with a confused face.

"It is fine."

As if she made up her mind, Cheon Miryo nodded.

"Nice. Then I will take care of Cheon Wol-seong, so Miss, give the two a comfortable death."

"Yes."

And their talks ended there.

Seol-Hwi thought again.

I need a way to fool the eyes of the Simulation.

A simple attack, it will be easy to read in a normal way. Seol-Hwi knew that well because he was a player too.

However, while the Simulation was omnipotent, it was not at the same time. In the past, Seol-Hwi himself had escaped from the power of the Simulation.

So how could he not know?

I need to corner him.

Pat!

It was they who attacked.

Seol-Hwi ignored Cho Ah-ran and Ack Bi, who rushed for him and rushed towards Cheon Wol-seong.

"Ahhh!"

"Ah!"

The first move was the Heavenly Demon Steps which both the opponent and he were familiar with.
