Episode 101
A secret space where no one can enter.
In a place filled with darkness, the soul reaper was crushing the sword emperor with his own power.
– Crunch, crunch!
The form of the Sword Emperor was a mess.
The arms and legs were torn off, and the remaining head and torso were also under tremendous pressure.
It was so fragile that it looked like it might break at any moment.
– … … .
But the Emperor’s face was calm.
Even though he must have felt terrible pain, he had a blank expression on his face as if he felt no pain at all.
The soul reaper clicked his tongue when he saw that.
– This old man is kicking his butt ugly!
The situation is in your favor.
The Emperor’s spirit is dying quickly. Judging from his appearance, he doesn’t have much time left.
It just takes a little bit of time, just a little bit of time.
– Give me that body!
The dark power defeated the Sword Emperor.
The reason why the Emperor was able to endure was because a faint golden aura was protecting his entire body.
But that won’t last long either.
The golden aura was fading further.
– Crunch!
The golden aura that had been protecting the Emperor’s upper body disappeared, and soon his upper body began to fall apart.
In excruciating pain, the Emperor closed his eyes.
The soul flayer was forcibly entering inside of him. He felt like he was sharing his thoughts, his emotions.
‘There’s not much time left. I’m losing my mind.’
The soul reaver drew out all his remaining strength.
This is a mental space. The body of the Sword Emperor here is the embodiment of the spirit. If that form is completely shattered, the spirit of the bastard will also be completely destroyed.
Then, just take away the empty body.
As always.
– You closed your eyes, have you given up?
The soul reaper laughed at the sword emperor.
There was also an intention to shake him with words. However, the Sword Emperor, who had his eyes closed, shook his head.
– I reflected on my life.
The Emperor answered indifferently.
In his crumbling mind, memories of the past came to mind. Among them, the one thing that came to mind the most was about his only blood relative.
– I don’t know if it’s because I’m facing death, but I’m reminded of the time I spent with my worthless younger brother.
– Wow, your love for your blood relatives is truly amazing. Are you still thinking about your brother who betrayed you?
– Of course, because we are one and only blood relatives.
Geomhwang lost his parents when he was young.
Since even his relatives had shunned him, the only blood relative he could trust was his younger brother.
It was so before destruction had yet come, and it was so after destruction had overtaken the world.
– Now I’m finally making up my mind.
– What? Decision?
The soul reaper was puzzled by the sudden words.
The Emperor answered that question.
– The determination to break the natural order.
– Ha! I don’t know what you’re talking about. Whether it’s natural or natural, you’ll soon be… … !
– You still can’t feel it?
The Emperor’s entire body was torn to pieces.
All that remained was the head. But the face was calm, almost faintly smiling.
The soul reaper suddenly raised his head.
– The change you were wary of has occurred.
– no way!
Phaaaat!
The dark space suddenly collapsed and a huge amount of light suddenly poured in from all directions.
All of the light was directed towards the Emperor.
His body, which had been crushed and torn to pieces, was instantly restored, and an intense power enveloped the surroundings.
– Baek Sa-jun… How on earth!
Who caused this phenomenon?
There was no need to worry about that. The soul reaper gritted his teeth as he thought of Baek Sa-jun’s face.
But how.
What on earth did you do to recover your mind, which was on the verge of a complete breakdown?
and.
– How do you know this!
How did he know that he was aiming for the Emperor?
The soul reaver gritted his teeth. What he saw before his eyes was the fully recovered form of the Sword Emperor.
The operation failed. There is only one way left.
You have to get out of here immediately.
– Ugh!
But that couldn’t be possible.
The moment the soul reaper thought of retreating, an unknown energy cut through his limbs.
– I owe you a lot.
– Aaak! Damn it… … !
That was a blade.
Numerous invisible blades mercilessly cut through the soul flayer’s entire body.
A torso that is torn to pieces in an instant.
As the Sword Emperor slowly opened his hand, the Soul Reaver, with only the torso remaining, was dragged towards him.
– The Apocalypse, and the Soul Reaver. I will kill you in my name.
– Kahak! Ugh… Aaaah!
Just as the Soul Reaver had done to the Sword Emperor, a powerful force pressed down on him from all sides.
The body that couldn’t hold on was crushed in an instant.
The torso was crushed, and only the head remained.
– I won’t forget the favor.
Kkwaduk!
The soul reaper was crushed without even a last word left. His form disappeared, and the mental space he had created collapsed.
– It’s been a long time.
It was the moment when the Emperor woke up.
* * *
The moment the Dragon’s Elixir was fed to the Sword Emperor, a brilliant light filled the dark room.
It was the light flowing from the Emperor.
– Kiaaaaaaah… … !
A terrible scream was heard through the light.
A dark energy was forcibly pulled out of the Emperor and took shape for a moment. However, it was only for a moment before it was enveloped in light and began to disappear.
It is the soul of the soul stealer.
– Damn it, how… … !
Although the form was only for a moment, it took on the appearance of a hideous old man.
The bastard disappeared, uttering a curse.
‘This must have caused a lot of damage.’
Soul Stealing is a powerful gift, but it also has many limitations and a large penalty for failure.
Failing in this manner would have resulted in a huge penalty for the soul stealer.
‘This is the perfect opportunity to kill him.’
There is currently a ‘main body’ of the soul stealer in Busan.
It’s probably a situation where you can’t control the main body because of the penalty. You can use that to kill the guy.
And maybe, the Sword Emperor knows where the Soul Reaver is.
But that’s not something to worry about now.
“How are you feeling?”
“… … .”
The Emperor opened his eyes.
It was the moment when the Emperor, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.
His eyes scanned the room, first looking at Kim Eun-joo’s body, then turning to Baek Sa-jun.
“The one who helped me… was you?”
“Yes. I used a valuable medicine that money can’t buy. I trust you will pay for it.”
“It’s a debt that I can never repay, even if it takes me a lifetime.”
The Emperor smiled bitterly and got up.
“Are you aware of the situation?”
“No. I only know that my brother betrayed me by colluding with the Apocalypse Force.”
“You get the point. That younger brother brought vampires into the city.”
Baek Sa-jun winked at Magnus.
Then, many dark eyes appeared in the air and split the wall with black rays.
“Come and see for yourself.”
“… … .”
There were no windows in the Emperor’s room.
So he broke the wall. The Emperor slowly got up and looked directly at the situation outside.
-Why is a vampire here!
– We must protect the Emperor! Get inside! Now is not the time to worry about vampires!
– Kwaaaaah!
Vampires are running wild, and guild members are trying to enter the guild house to protect the Sword Emperor.
And the guards and Cerberus who stop them.
Bloody battles were unfolding everywhere.
“How pathetic.”
In the meantime, Woo Seok-kyung appeared.
He was struggling to escape from his bonds while being held captive by Lee Hyuk-woon.
The Emperor let out a deep sigh.
“I’ve roughly organized the inside of the guild house. What do you want to do about the outside?”
“I have already received much favor from you. I cannot burden my benefactor any further.”
The Emperor took a step outside the wall.
Even though it was empty space, he walked through it calmly as if there was a floor.
“I’ll handle it.”
The sword emperor who goes beyond that.
Baek Sa-jun didn’t stop him. There was no need to stop him. He would do as he said.
– Ugh, a vampire… Aaaah!
– Lee Hyuk-woon! Lee Hyuk-woon is attacking from behind!
– What, why am I… here… .
The city was so chaotic.
The Emperor’s eyes trembled at the sight. He looked at the World Tree beyond, then swallowed a sigh and spread his hands wide.
“You’ve ruined a lot in a short period of time.”
Although I recovered with an item called Dragon’s Elixir, my body’s condition was still not good.
But there was room to sort out this situation.
A thick magical power flowed out from the Sword Emperor.
– Swish!
The magical power spread out in all directions and detected the aura of the vampires. His hand slowly reached up to the sky.
“Everything… … .”
High sky.
As the thick dark clouds parted, something huge appeared between them.
“I need to correct this.”
It was a sword.
Swords with overwhelming presence appeared between the clouds and soon began to fall.
Straight towards the ground.
“Ooh, wooooow!”
“Wh, what… … !”
Kwaaaaang!
The swords pierced the ground. Then they resonated with each other and began to create a huge barrier.
A dome-shaped barrier. The moment it was created, a huge shock wave occurred and swept away the surrounding area.
The vampires screamed and fell down.
– Passsssss!
And then the giant swords shattered into pieces, breaking into countless shards that scattered all around.
The fragments soon became sharp swords.
“Ah, no! Run away… … !”
“Ugh! Kwaaak!”
They attacked the vampires all at once.
Numerous sword blasts sliced through their limbs, pierced their bodies, and tore off their terrified heads.
They desperately tried to escape.
“No! The barrier… AAAAAH!”
The barrier blocked those guys.
There was no way to resist or evade. How could one avoid the black energy that covered all sides?
“This, this is… this sword… …!”
The badly injured vampire raised his head.
A fearful gaze was turned towards the sky and the man standing there.
Straight to the Emperor.
“Sword Emperor… Keuk!”
Those were the last words.
In an instant, the vampire whose whole body was torn apart died. The other vampires did the same.
“Ow, woof! Kiaaaah!”
“Kill the Sword Emperor!”
If you stay still, you die.
The vampires who had judged it that way kicked the ground and rushed towards the Sword Emperor. The Sword Emperor looked at them with indifferent eyes and slashed through the air.
“… … !”
Then the vampires stopped moving.
They were as if they were frozen in midair, motionless. And then, a moment later, a solid line appeared on their bodies, and they were torn in half.
There was no movement, no sound.
I couldn’t even react.
“This is, the Emperor of Swords… … .”
The moment I realized it, the vampires were already dead.
It was an incredible power that could not be believed to be the martial arts of someone who had just woken up from a sickbed. This was possible because of the gift that the Sword Emperor possessed.
[Unification of the New Swords.]
A gift that awakens the extreme limits of the sword and allows one to display exceptional strength when holding it.
And it was a powerful gift that allowed you to learn unique skills with incredible power.
“Hey, Your Majesty. It’s dangerous… … .”
“Aw, are you awake?”
The voices of those who called for the Sword Emperor trembled.
He stood on the ground, and as he stretched out his arm, a sword appeared out of thin air and was placed in his hand.
“Those who follow me, put away your weapons.”
“Huh, huh!”
An overwhelming presence weighed on all sides.
The guild members all put away their weapons. The only ones who didn’t were the vampires being slaughtered.
The Emperor walked slowly.
“Tongue, bro.”
At the end of those steps was Woo Seok-kyung.
Lee Hyuk-woon knew who the Emperor was targeting, so he stepped back, leaving Woo Seok-gyeong behind.
Geomhwang stood in front of Woo Seok-gyeong.
“Hey, you’re awake, brother. I’ve been waiting for this moment. Hey, from now on… … .”
“Why did you betray me?”
Geom Hwang interrupted Woo Seok-gyeong and asked.
“Betrayal, betrayal. I… … .”
“You colluded with the Apocalypse faction and tried to hand my body over to them. Why did you do that?”
“That’s not it! It’s me!”
Woo Seok-kyung, who was about to make an excuse, looked into Geom Hwang’s eyes. Eyes filled with sadness and sympathy.
He clenched his teeth.
“I wanted power… … . power!”
Woo Seok-kyung vented his anger.
“I couldn’t stand being compared to you, and those scumbags ignoring me! I wanted to have a power that no one could ignore!”
“Is that why you cooperated with them?”
“Yes! It was a good opportunity for me. It was a chance to get rid of you, a disgusting bastard, and gain strength!”
Geom Hwang looked into Woo Seok-gyeong’s eyes.
I could feel the hatred, anger, and jealousy in his eyes. All of these were emotions that had been buried for a long time.
“If only it weren’t you, if only it weren’t you… …!”
“I see.”
The Emperor raised his sword.
And without even giving me time to react, he swung his sword.
“I ruined you.”
The blade cut down Woo Seok-kyung.
That was the end of it. He died like that without even leaving a proper will.
Still suffering from an inferiority complex until the end.
“Everyone, from now on, follow my orders.”
Woo Seok-kyung’s body fell down.
The Sword Emperor turned his back. All the members of the Manwol Guild were staring at him, dumbfounded.
“Repel the enemies that invade this place.”
“yes!”
The answer came as if it had been waiting.
The Sword Emperor and his followers from the Full Moon Guild began hunting down all the remaining vampires.
Baek Sa-jun watched the scene from the building.
‘That monster was an enemy in the original.’
In the original, the soul reaper succeeds in plundering the body of the Sword Emperor. Since then, the Sword Emperor has continued to show his presence as a villain.
This time, since we succeeded in stopping the looting, I thought we would be able to play a big role as allies.
“Then what’s left is… … .”
Baek Sa-jun raised his head.
What he saw was the moon floating in the sky. It was a terribly red moon.
“I just need to solve that moon.”
It’ll be easier than you think.
The World Tree that grew in this writing. And if you receive help from the Sword Emperor, things will be resolved easily.
