My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 331

〈 Heavenly Demon (2) 〉

Cluck!

Black iron chains fly in with a loud metal sound.

At first, it started as a single ray, but as time went by, the black traces increased one by one, and before I knew it, there were three.

“Hmph!”

However, Hugo’s response did not change from before.

Based on his senses maximized by “Nervousness,” he moved his body according to his intuition, using the power of physical strengthening skills, including “Super Strength,”.

Kakakak!

He twisted his body to avoid the first chain, and the second chain carried Yu’s Myo-ri.

In the meantime, the third chain that flew in like a snake moved vigorously and tried to restrain his body, but—.

‘Where!’

Instead, he sneakily hit his vital spot in the path of the attack and took advantage of the pause in the oncoming attack to escape the attack path.

“Wow, this guy! “The little brat is so clever!”

The Black Riding Army of the Demonic Cult, a black man who attacked him, was furious.

In terms of skill alone, it wouldn’t be surprising if he had been caught a long time ago, but every time a dangerous attack came in, the opponent was taking his own life hostage, so he couldn’t do anything hastily.

The cult leader personally ordered them to be captured alive, so wouldn’t it be impossible to kill them even by mistake?

Of course, no matter how much the opponent took advantage of that, if it was one-on-one, such a trick wouldn’t have worked, but they weren’t the only two here.

Hiss! Kakakang!

After a failed capture attempt, the black chains hastily returned and gathered together in a circle, barely blocking the unexpectedly flying sword blade.

“I guess the way I looked at it looked ridiculous.”

“Yuungeom….”

Unhyeonjinin, an elder of the Shaman faction, is an opponent that even the Black Riding Horse Army cannot easily meet.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up on completing the task quickly and prioritize dealing with the enemy in front of him.

“Wow, this is crazy.”

Thanks to this, Hugo was able to catch his breath and lightly wiped his sweat and looked around.

As he said, the surrounding situation was going by without any hesitation.

Kwaaaang—!

“Kill!”

“You damned bastards!”

The sound of continuous explosions of loud noises, screams, and curses.

Who would think that this is the inside of the Shaolin Temple, which was so pious not long ago?

Considering that everyone gathered here was a talented person who had been recognized for their talents and abilities in their own way, each drop of blood flowing now could be said to be a great loss to the entire martial arts faction.

Perhaps the Demonic Cult was aiming for that and launched an attack now.

‘…Yes, this is definitely a tragedy. But….’

There is a trade-off in everything.

The current situation was clearly a crisis, but in some ways it was also an opportunity.

In this world, there are people whose talents are in full bloom in these disaster-like situations.

And the representative figure was himself.

“ha-.”

Hugo took a deep breath and his pupils dilated.

His senses, which he could not use without permission due to side effects, were activated, sharpened, and he began to quietly but quickly absorb information flowing from around him.

‘Actually, this was one of the reasons I came here. … I never expected such an extreme situation.’

In this battlefield where lives were at stake, the warriors were generously pouring out the skills they had cultivated.

Because the current situation is not easy enough to survive by hiding something.

“Fuck shit! “This is why I didn’t want to come!”

The memorization that flew from the fingertips of the aggressor of the Sacheondangmun drew a strange trajectory, and at the same time, the vague martial principles contained therein were engraved in Hugo’s mind.

That was Tangga’s vision of high perfection as a martial art, but thanks to the fact that the level of the user was so low, it was not that difficult to steal the meaning of the martial arts.

“Soran! “Come this way!”

“Brother!”

In that sense, the swords of Emperor Nangong, the head of the Nangong family, and his sister Nangong Soran were also good prey.

The Namgung family is a sword family with such a high reputation that it would be a pity to say that it is the second largest family in the world.

When the secret sword technique that emphasizes strength and weight was revealed in practice, Hugo’s fingertips, influenced by it, twitched without realizing it.

‘There is indeed a reason why the large corporations are called famous.’

It wasn’t just Sega’s martial artists who nourished him.

The splendid swordsmanship of the Plum Blossom Swordsman of the Hwasan School and the strokes of a martial artist of the Jeomchang School who seek extreme pleasure were mixed together in my mind, and the martial arts of Buddhism and the martial arts of Taoism mingled here and there.

And even the evil yet destructive martial arts of the Demonic Cult that collide with him.

In the midst of a scene of struggle where the life and death of talented people from all over the continent are mixed and their desires and karma come together.

Hugo sucked in everything he saw, heard, and felt at the center like a black hole, and as a result, his thinking about martial arts began to expand endlessly.

His body had already been trained to perfection, and his mind had reached a much higher level.

In addition, there were countless elixirs provided by Harris and the “Heavenly Spirit” to maximize them, so there was no shortage of internal power.

All he needs is the realization of the mystery of martial arts.

And with this incident, that was fulfilled.

《The entity has met the conditions and achieved enlightenment. Acquired the special skill “Desire to dissuade him.”

His rapid growth began to accelerate even more rapidly.

Even those who were fighting desperately around him couldn’t help but be taken aback by the flow of energy moving around him.

“Enlightenment in this situation?”

“Wow, you’re at your peak at that age. What kind of nonsense is this?…”

“…Hit! “We must secure the author’s identity!”

“Where are these guys!”

This caused some commotion in the surrounding area, but the unrest did not last long.

That’s why Hugo was able to choose to grow with peace of mind.

Because a reliable supporter appeared on the scene just at the right time.

***

The first to notice something strange were the two people who were fighting the loudest here.

Cheonma, who showed off his might by pushing his opponent somewhat one-sidedly, and Shinseung, who had a messed up behavior and held on to him until the end.

“You are persistent, Shinseung Mujin.”

“Hehehe, persistence is one of the few things that a poor person can boast about… hmm?”

“…This?”

Their argument stopped and their gazes all returned to one place.

Not far from this mess, on top of a nearby pavilion with a panoramic view of this place.

‘It’ was there.

“…What is that?”

“…Huh.”

The presence was so foreign that the two masters of Hyeongyeong were momentarily speechless.

It certainly had the appearance of a human… but could it really be called a human?

And the movements of the two people who had the greatest presence on this battlefield were bound to naturally affect other warriors who were sensitive to energy.

It was a natural step to stop fighting one by one, look at the situation, and follow their gaze to the roof of the palace.

“What is that guy?”

“…Lion mask?”

Those who turned their gaze like that were soon able to face it.

An unidentified monster wearing a monster mask is crouching on the roof, looking down at the temple, like a wild beast about to be hunted.

“What are you?”

With everyone’s attention focused.

As if representing their thoughts, the Heavenly Demon frowned slightly and opened his mouth.

He could tell that he had already reached the state of contemplating all things in the world through energy.

That it was a completely different type of creature than the ones he had seen all his life.

No, if I had to pick a similar person, there was one person that came to mind…

‘No, that can’t be possible. The leap is excessive. ‘Maybe it would be Geumodo Island.’

At that time, the monster slowly stood up, and his dynamically writhing muscles were clearly visible through his naked upper body.

A transcendent body that seems to have literally condensed the words ‘power’ and ‘violence’ into a human shape.

“Wow, this is truly the pinnacle of external attack.”

“Is that a realistically possible body?”

Several warriors expressed admiration that did not fit the situation at the ultimate body, which was nothing short of a warrior’s utopia.

Whether the underlying thing was envy or jealousy… it was a natural reaction because there was a perfection there that could not be achieved through ordinary training, as if it were a legendary transformation.

It was then that the being who stood up and opened his mouth under everyone’s attention.

“Ah—good, good. “It’s a very nice atmosphere!”

With the audience’s attention focused on this, the monster Harley nodded in satisfaction and continued speaking.

“Let me introduce myself first! I am Gwangma! “Ah, I reached an agreement through amicable talks with the guy who used this nickname not long ago, so there are no misunderstandings!”

And then he calmly began to promote himself to those who were paying attention to him.

From now on, he is the real Gwangma and the old Gwangma will be with him as a subordinate and close friend.

It seemed as if they had attracted attention for this promotion from the beginning.

“Ah, and the reason I came here is…”

But his mischievous appearance didn’t last long.

After roughly introducing himself, he looked directly at the Heavenly Demon who was glaring at him and raised the corners of his mouth fiercely.

“It’s hunting.”

A vicious smile full of madness that threatens to set the world on fire, completely reminiscent of the frivolous appearance he had shown up until now.

The air became heavy at that, and the expressions of the audience hardened.

“I heard there is some great game here.”

that.

It was a smile that clearly showed why he called himself a mad devil.

“Well then, I’ve already finished introducing myself.”

However, he did not care one bit about how his words and actions changed the atmosphere of the area.

With eyes sparkling with madness, he only looks at his hunting target from beginning to end.

“Now… let’s have some fun! Kahahaha!”

Quaaaang!

After unilaterally announcing himself, Gwangma rushed at his next target, Cheonma, his prey.

With just one roll of his foot, he blew away the entire roof of the pavilion he was standing in just a moment ago.

***

With Gwangma Harley’s participation in the war, the situation of the war began to flow in an unexpected direction.

The biggest factor is that the fight against the Heavenly Demon, which was a risky factor, has begun to maintain balance.

Harley, who came to the forefront in place of Ambassador Mujin, who was already close to his limit due to an unreasonable battle, was not pushed back much even against that strong enemy.

Sigh—!

No, in fact, if you just look at the aspect of the fight, it was true that even he was inferior to the Heavenly Demon…

“Ha, this is ridiculous. “You monster.”

Cheonma gritted his teeth, avoiding the aggressively charging opponent and inflicting another fatal wound with a sword strike that crossed perception.

A stab wound extending from the left shoulder to the right waist, deep enough to reach the internal organs.

Considering that what was used was a powerful weapon made of demonic energy, it was already a death sentence for the target.

“Wow, it hurts! Hey!”

But that was the only reaction immediately after allowing such an attack.

The Cheonma watched with narrowed eyes as the blood slowly stopped flowing and the wound healed.

‘Of course.’

And after reaching a certain conclusion as a result of that observation, I burst into empty laughter again.

‘He’s adapting to my attack.’

Because the playback speed was significantly faster than when it was the first attack.

In the first place, it was absurd that wounds caused by force could heal so quickly.

It goes without saying that the deadly force composed of demonic energy that is hostile to all beings has the power to kill.

If he had been hit by such an attack properly, even if he were a true immortal, he would have had to lie down in pain, but that monster completely ignored all of those and instead was just regenerating the wound.

It was as if I had truly mastered the legendary immortal skill.

‘No, that can’t be possible.’

However, the Heavenly Demon, who had actually encountered the original copy of the Immortal Art in the Heavenly Demon Library, which was only allowed to the sect leader, shook his head resolutely.

There are many exaggerated parts about the immortal magic in the story, but I was able to assure you that this phenomenon had nothing to do with it…

Sigh!

At that moment, Harley’s sharp fingertips roughly tore through his front bumper as he was caught off guard.

If it had been a little deeper, it would have reached a breathtaking depth.

“What a shame! You guys have a good sense of it, don’t you?”

The Heavenly Demon’s expression became even colder at those naturally virtuous words.

He could not have imagined that Harley was replenishing her biological energy by endlessly burning the enormous amount of madness supplied by the “Seed of Madness,” but he could clearly understand that if she remained silent like this, there would be no way to do anything about it.

“…I can’t help it.”

However, we cannot just leave like this.

In the end, he decided to bring out one of the powers he had been hiding.

Woowooung—

The Heavenly Demon Divine Art, the world’s greatest martial arts technique, allowed only to the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Church.

In his sword body, a strong energy made of black magic energy began to burn brightly and take the shape of a huge sword.

“In any case, I didn’t want to use this.”

And….

‘…is that?!’

In it, a strength that Harley had experienced before was secretly mixed in.

The glow of the sunset as if seeping through the pitch-black darkness.

‘Divine power…!’

I didn’t expect that it would still remain in this world.

It was a remnant of his adversary.
