Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 949

949====================

True empty hometown

The evil spirit that appeared seemed to be looking at the barrier created by the four spirits for a while. Then, it stretched out one arm and touched the barrier, and a reaction occurred immediately.

Phage jiggle

The shadow of the evil spirit wavered with a sound like something being splashed. The evil spirit briefly pulled back his hand, then stretched out his arm again, and again a loud crackling sound was heard. And after a while, the water spirit among the spirits was heard speaking.

[ Hmm…!! The power of the constellation is so strong… I never thought that the power of a single ruler would be this strong. The rumors that the evil spirit’s bloodline is a direct descendant of chaos were true.]

The spirit of fire spoke as if in agreement.

[ It’s more than I’ve heard. It’s going to be hard if things continue like this. ]

I looked back toward the direction occupied by the water spirit and shouted.

“You say it’s hard? Can a demon pierce through the barrier alone?!”

[ Not to that extent. No matter how evil a demon is, he can’t defeat the four of us alone… After all, we are beings who control the origin of the universe. ]

” then…”

[ However, many [former rulers] of the divine throne with magical powers comparable to that of that person will soon join us. I cannot guarantee that I will receive their combined attack. Even the power of a single evil spirit is unexpectedly strong. ]

In his answer, it was clear that he had been looking down on a mere [old ruler], but was bewildered by the power of the evil spirit. In general, the power of the ancient god spirits seemed to overwhelm the average ruler, but the evil spirit seemed to be a special kind of ruler.

God!

My expression darkened when I heard that.

‘Beings born from the divine throne… Immortal in both soul and body… One of the few highest level demon gods in the universe.’

The evil spirits were also from the divine seat, and although such beings were rare in the universe, they definitely existed. Demon gods who possessed transcendent powers on par with or even greater than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors – nightmares themselves! And it was certain that such powerful super-demons would soon attack with all their might to prevent the destruction of the universe and the vacuum of Gajo.

The ancient god spirits before my eyes are powerful beings, but even they are proven to be unstoppable when the rulers of the entire universe attack together. I gritted my teeth and shouted at the spirits.

“You have to hold out until the end of Dharma’s ritual. If you hold out as long as possible, how long can you do it?”

[ … I guess it’s two hours in this world’s time. However, if an outside god intervenes, I can’t be sure.]

“Foreign news?! Are you saying that foreign news is interfering?”

[ It’s just a case. There’s no need to worry because the possibility of that happening is slim. They’re always dancing by [Father’s] side. It’s true that worrying about foreign media interfering is pointless.]

It meant that no matter what I did, I couldn’t beat the foreign media, so it was meaningless. When I heard that, I felt like everything was going dark.

‘What the heck… I didn’t know it would be such a hopeless fight…’

I realized that everything could be destroyed and I would die at any moment. I also knew that in order to maintain Dharma’s plan, I had to help the ancient spirits as much as possible. I shouted loudly.

“I’ll help you! What should I do?”

The spirits made no reply to those words. I shouted again.

“I want to help!!”

Then the spirit of the earth responded.

[ Madman who wishes for the destruction of the world… You have a strange power latent within you. If we can summon the owner of that power, it might be of help to us. ]

“Strange power?”

[ It will appear in response to your will. ]

What kind of power are you talking about?

I tried to strengthen my magical arm just in case, but there was no reaction. After all, it would be impossible for beings as powerful as the ancient gods to react to even the most powerful of apostles.

‘What is this strange power? Did I have something like that?’

Are you talking about absolute martial arts?

It was at that very moment that I was wondering what to do.

“Junior. You really don’t think about what’s coming next and are focused on what’s in front of you. Now, it’s even refreshing.”

“The God of Fighting!!”

Whirlyrick

Suddenly, the new form of the Shinto Master appeared around the altar. It had been here for a while, but it had disappeared from view at some point, and now it had released its hiding power and revealed itself. The Shinto Master was standing around the book, and it smiled and stretched out its hand towards the book as it spoke.

“What do you think would happen if I steal this book right now? It’s only 20% complete, so it’s unfinished, but even in its current state, it’s definitely the strongest magic book in the world.”

” … do you think I would let you do that?”

Woof

I immediately summoned and equipped the pitch-black sword and straightened my sword to kill him. If he were a master of the same level, I could fight the new master. Then, the new master laughed and lowered his hand that was outstretched toward the west.

“Just kidding. It might be fun to fight over treasure with my junior, but I wouldn’t steal something like this.”

“What are you planning?”

“What would be his ulterior motive? The best thief only steals what he is after. Anyone who touches anything just because it looks valuable is a petty thief.”

” ……”

I think he’s being sincere, because in this street, even if I could cut down the Shinto shrine, I wouldn’t be able to stop him from reaching the west and taking it.

No, even if it were within close range of the West, it would be questionable whether it would be possible. For me, the best way to counter a Mansangjitu with Mansangjitu is to steal with Mansangjitu, but even that is not guaranteed to win. The thief power of the Shinto Master is so great that there is no way to stop him from stealing.

The God of War sat on the steps of the altar and opened his mouth.

“Baek Woong… Why do you think Dharma kept a suspicious person like me by his side until the end?”

” what?”

“You must have thought about it too, but if you were Dharma, you would have probably attacked me and tried to destroy me before this moment came. Didn’t you talk to Dharma about that?”

” ……”

I didn’t respond. I’ve said things like that before.

“Common sense tells you that you could perform a ritual that would put your life on the line with the world’s greatest thief behind you… and that you kept dissuading me from attacking and killing you. Why do you think Dharma did something so burdensome?”

” … I don’t know. Do you know?”

“It’s because our interests aligned.”

Shintojijon continued speaking with a grin.

“What Dharma wants is vacuum incense, and what I want is the most precious thing in the world. The two of us have different ultimate goals and they don’t even clash. So, wouldn’t it be natural for us to become good partners in achieving each other’s goals?”

“Hmm…”

“That’s why Dharma left me behind until the end. I will help Dharma until the very end.”

I couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say. It was so confusing. Finally, I couldn’t stand it anymore and said to the God of Shinto.

“What is the most precious thing in the world? What do you want?”

“Let me ask you the opposite. From your perspective, what is the most precious thing in the world?”

” ……”

“Don’t look so angry. What can we do in this situation anyway? Since this has become a fight between gods, let’s take our time to talk leisurely, junior.”

I thought that what Shintojijon said was right. The Four Great Spirits were telling me to draw out a strange power, but I didn’t know what it was anyway. So I thought it would be good to hear Shintojijon’s purpose until the end, so I responded to him.

“The most precious thing in the world is…”

I tried to speak but my mouth felt blocked.

‘ uh…’

What is the most precious thing in the world? I felt like I had suddenly entered a philosophical realm. I thought deeply about the words of the Great God and decided to say what came to mind.

” … is a colleague.”

Yes, my colleagues are everything to me.

I am here to save the world with my colleagues.

But at my answer, Shintojijon made a face as if he was shocked and pretended to vomit.

“Ugh. This gives me goosebumps. Are you crazy?”

” ……”

Shintojijon grabbed the back of his neck.

“Wow… This is the first time I’ve seen someone say something like that with their own mouth. Hey, junior, are you crazy?”

“I think! What if you think about it! You’ve asked you, it’s a dog!”

“Click click click.”

When I got angry and yelled, Shintojijon chuckled and said.

“In many ways, a junior who is different from what I expected has come.”

“Okay, so what is the most precious thing in the world?”

“There’s no need to ask.”

The eyes of the God of War suddenly turned pitch black.

“It is I.”

Instead, I burst out laughing at those words.

“Ha… So you came all the way here just to achieve self-realization? You’re the best.”

“I guess that’s what it is.”

I had a strong feeling that Shintojijon was lying. So I glared at him and said.

“Don’t be ridiculous! You told Yeo Dong-bin that you would come here to find the Hyeonwon Sword. Aren’t you still waiting for an opportunity to find the Hyeonwon Sword?”

That’s exactly why I’ve been sending out threats to Shintojijon and strengthening my control. There’s a possibility that he’s lying in order to somehow lower my guard and gain his own benefit.

“Hmm, don’t you think it’s strange?”

” what.”

Shintojijon rested his chin on his hand and looked at the book next to him. The book was just beginning to put together its third piece with a flash of lightning.

Chijichik!!

“The Book of World Destruction that Daruma is making is dozens of times more powerful than the Xianyuan Sword known to the world. Even if we say Xianyuan Sword, at best it only has the power to make a wish to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. However, if that book is completed, the world will be completely destroyed, so it cannot be compared to something like the Xianyuan Sword.”

” ……”

“But I don’t need anything like that.”

“What the hell are you talking about…”

“Finding myself is so important. More than you can imagine…”

The God of War, who had been muttering like that, said:

“The reason I agreed to the vacuum incense was because I thought that only when I reached this point would I be able to realize my true nature. The reason I pursued the Hyeonwon Sword was the same. I thought that if I pursued the most difficult existence in the world, the result of that evil plot would be the true nature… And now that opportunity is right before my eyes.”

Ss …

At that moment, I flinched as I made eye contact with the God of War who was making an unknown sound.

A tremendous chaos.

‘What, what is that!!’

I feel like I’ve met the [old ruler] face to face!

A literal boiling chaos flowed from his eyes. It was impossible to believe that they were human eyes, and the strange thing was that even though he felt that much chaos, the God of the Universe did not lose his human nature at all. Furthermore, he did not feel any divine power.

I told him.

“You… weren’t human?”

“I am a human. I am not even a descendant of a god, which is very common in the universe. However, in this case, I must first define what a human is, junior.”

“What are you talking about?”

” Hehe.”

The new god shed light on the madness.

And after a while, his entire body felt like it was boiling and bubbling. A pitch-black chaos covered his entire body, transforming into a shadow, and soon he took on the appearance of the past Shinto Master from [Yeo Dong-bin]’s memories.

“……?”

What is that?

‘That’s ridiculous. Even if he’s a masked prince with a thousand faces…’

Is that possible?

I was confused because I didn’t understand. Because it seemed like he had changed his appearance by changing his mask to the Thousand Face Prince, but the nature of the power he felt was completely different. No matter how perfect the transformation magic is, there is a limit, but it seemed like Shinto Jijon had almost skipped even the process of changing his mask. That was a level that completely ignored the law of preserving one’s essence.

And if that happens, then what happened to my original body, ‘Baek Woong’?

Shintojijon said with a grin.

“Well then, shall we begin Dharma’s request?”

Tadah!

The next moment, Shintojijon suddenly rushed towards the fire spirit among the spirits surrounding the four cardinal directions. The fire spirit didn’t seem to care when Shintojijon rushed at him, but soon became shocked when he saw the chaos flowing from Shintojijon’s eyes.

[ Oh, no, you wouldn’t… ]

Swaaaaaaaaa!!

The body of the new god melted away like black smoke, and soon it was attached to the body of the fire spirit. Then, I saw a pitch-black mask being forcibly placed on the face of the fire spirit. The fire spirit screamed in pain.

[ KHAAAAAAHHHH!!! Again… Are you toying with the world!! Did you even come to a place like this…]

Swoosh

The figure of the God of War disappeared without a trace, and a black mask was attached to the face of the Spirit of Fire. Then, the mask slowly raised its head as if it were alive.

” ……”

After a while, words leaked out from the fire spirit’s mouth.

It was clear that the Divine Being had taken over his body.

[Do you know my identity now? Junior….]

” … okay.”

I said in a trembling voice.

“You…were a mask from the beginning.”
