The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality - The Swordsman Genius Returnee Even Swallows Immortality chapter 48

48

In the midst of the land that had flown away.

Havel stood alone like that.

On the land that was smashed into pieces, the word destruction suited it best.

Havel slowly walked forward.

Then Havel stopped in front of a figure.

Havel flicked a glance at the man who looked like he had been ripped apart by a sword wound.

“Ugh, cough!”

At that moment, he rolled on the floor, spitting out blood.

It was none other than Baomet, his head and eyebrows shaved, his face pale.

The tyrannical aura he had shown during his fight with Havel was completely gone.

He had become an old man on the verge of death, his face wrinkled.

From noble mtl dot com

“Hmph, hmph!”

He screamed in surprise as his eyes met Havel’s.

Havel trampled on his back as he tried to escape and asked,

“Where is the Whisperer?”

He was supposed to be his apostle.

The fact that the Whisperer had helped Baomet meant that he also agreed with Baomet’s opinion.

In other words, he didn’t care what happened to Banpelion either.

Banpelion will rise again in time.

To that end, he had no intention of sparing anyone who ignored Banpelion.

Baomet screamed again as Havel’s eyes flashed with a chilling light.

“I, I don’t know. I don’t know. He’s everywhere and nowhere!”

He babbled incoherently.

He was like a crazy old man who had lost his mind.

Havel scratched his chin.

He wouldn’t be lying in this state.

It seemed that even the so-called apostle didn’t know anything.

“Then why did the Whisperer gather and raise people like you?”

“Disaster, disaster will come. The other masters of evil will invade this world! We gathered together to protect the world!”

“Other masters of evil?”

Havel’s eyebrows narrowed.

“Is that the duality of God?”

“O, only he knows that.”

This guy knows something.

Havel frowned and pressed down on his back with more force.

“Then one more thing, do you know what transcendence is?”

This guy hadn’t experienced transcendence.

Havel’s current words were directed at the Whisperer.

He must be eavesdropping.

If so, there would be a reaction.

“Ugh, transcendence?”

Baomet naturally didn’t know.

Havel waited for the words to appear.

But there was no response.

‘Did he notice that I’m seeing something through the power of the Demon Palace?’

Or perhaps, I really don’t know.

‘Maybe those figures, like Transcendence, are simply the special powers of the Demon King alone.’

Habel’s gaze turned sharp as he thought up to this point.

‘Come to think of it, there’s no need to go through the trouble of creating something like a poison snake otherwise.’

If the Whisperer were to continuously grow stronger by absorbing evil intentions like Habel.

There would be no need to deliberately create something like a poison snake.

However, the Whisperer didn’t do that.

Because he gathered power and raised that power.

Perhaps, Habel might be the only one who can endlessly absorb evil intentions.

‘It’s a possibility that hasn’t been confirmed yet, so I’ll just keep it in mind.’

There might be a separate reason for why he had to create the poison snake.

There’s no need to underestimate the opponent too much.

Habel stepped away from Baphomet.

It was because Baphomet’s eyes had rolled back.

His wavering consciousness must have ultimately given out.

I could wake up this bastard and ask him more.

But there’s a suitable guy here, just in time.

“Come this way. Or should I go?”

Habel turned his head in one direction and asked.

Then, movement soon began in that direction.

A moment later, Mobius appeared on the ground that had turned completely white.

He was originally the candidate for the seventh poison snake.

His inherent abilities are also excellent.

But to Habel, he seemed no different from Dante.

“Do you know where the Whisperer is?”

Habel asked the same question.

Then Mobius replied to the question slowly with a tense face.

“It is as Lord Baphomet said. I do not know either.”

If not even the poison snake knows, then it’s obvious that the poison snake candidate wouldn’t know.

This was something that Habel had expected.

“Then you’re useless.”

Habel lifted his sword over his shoulder with a clack.

At the same time, an overwhelming aura began to pour out of his body.

“What are you going to do?”

If you want to save your life, find a way.

Habel spoke like that with his entire body.

“…The Whisperer asked for a deal.”

Habel’s eyes turned to his hand.

It was because the poison snake’s pattern was newly engraved on his hand.

It seems like it must have been engraved during the battle.

“Can you hear his voice if you engrave that?”

“It’s similar.”

“So, what’s the deal?”

Habel had a relaxed expression.

However, the momentum flowing out of his body was different.

This was because his momentum was ready to squeeze Mobius at any time.

“We will support you in climbing the tower.”

The team Mobius belonged to.

All of them volunteered to help Habel climb the tower.

“In return, the Whisperer wants to maintain a good relationship.”

Habel tapped his shoulder slowly with his sword.

Then he soon burst into laughter as if he was dumbfounded.

“Wasn’t the tower something I could conquer on my own right now?”

As he said, Habel had climbed the tower without any problems so far.

With Mobius, they would give him information to climb the tower.

But that was all.

To Habel, the terms of the deal were worthless.

“We can help with more fundamental problems than that.”

“Go on.”

“When a group of families gather, their appearance becomes even more prominent. Especially when the strong follow.”

It seemed that Mobius had noticed that Habel had excited the tower for Panpelion.

Perhaps the Whisperer had given him more information.

“So?”

“Habel-nim, even though you look like this, we are confident that we can reach the top of the tower.”

Habel didn’t deny it either.

Mobius and the Hwasan members were stronger than the guys he had met since he left the Devil’s Palace.

Even the golden generation led by Pembola would have a hard time being their rivals.

“Wouldn’t the family’s name spread more widely if you showed them following Panpelion?”

Habel was certainly making a name for himself as he steadily climbed the tower.

However, unfortunately, Habel’s personal status was growing more than the status of Panpelion, which he wanted.

Habel had been thinking about that part all the time.

That was why he belonged to the golden generation.

‘Dante’s empty seat.’

He had sent him away for Dante’s future.

However, his empty seat was diminishing Panpelion’s name.

It was regrettable.

“You don’t have to move with us. We’ll just follow you around, saying that we want to be Habel-nim’s knights.”

Habel starred blankly at Mobius.

Unlike Dante, they didn’t care whether they lived or died.

“The Whisperer has changed his mind.”

Habel noticed the Whisperer’s intention.

“He must have been curious about the extent of my power when I supported the evil, Yongjun.”

He supported Baromet because he wanted to use Habel as his apostle, just like him.

His greed, just before the fight with Baromet, was proof of that.

“He wants to increase his apostles to confront the masters of other evils.”

Habel tapped his arm slowly.

Habel had many questions about this part.

“It seems like the masters of other evils are also at a level that the Whisperer needs to be wary of.”

Since then they offered their cooperation to him.

It indicated that the Whisperer’s power level was not inferior to theirs.

“What are they?”

Habel didn’t know the extent of the Whisperer’s level.

But just looking at Baromet, he wouldn’t be at an ordinary level.

“I don’t have enough information.”

What has changed so much in the world over the past 100 years?

There were so many things he didn’t know that it was frustrating.

Habel glanced at Mobius.

Even if he beats these guys up, the Whisperer won’t tell him anything.

That meant that it was a good idea to get information by forming a temporary partnership.

Habel made up his mind.

“Okay. Good relationship, very good relationship.”

They were doing whatever they wanted anyway.

If these guys were around, he would naturally get more information.

“Let’s cooperate.”

“Ha, haha, thank you.”

As Habel smiled, Mobius reluctantly followed suit.

Habel hoped that the Whisperer was laughing along with them.

Well, if he tries to hit him in the back of the head at the end.

“It won’t end well.”

Anyway, a temporary alliance.

Habel just smiled, saying that he would do well for the time being.

As Mobius returned with Baromet,

Habel looked at Transcendence on his way back to the tower.

The destruction he gained by transcending his power this time.

Wasn’t Transcendence like the Kinjo?

Now, even without the Dawn, Habel showed superhuman strength.

But maybe it was because new guys kept appearing, like the Whisperer.

Even though he had become this strong, he felt the urge to become even stronger.

‘There’s no harm in being too strong.’

The information I’ve gained this time is plentiful, though.

I still don’t know the true extent of the other masters of the Calamity.

There’s no harm in getting stronger, the stronger I get.

So Havel quickly prepared for his next Transcendence.

‘What I can Transcend right now.’

Capital and Agility.

Proficiency will soon reach four digits as well.

So Havel chose capital first.

To be honest, it’s a vague qualification compared to others.

Because when it comes to capital, it refers to innate character or aptitude.

However, Havel had a rough idea of what price was.

‘Probably Aura.’

The Incarnation used by the Baomet.

Havel also uses a technique that is not unlike his Incarnation.

It’s the Dawn Swordsmanship that brings forth dawn in the sky.

Havel felt that Aura was also getting stronger every time the number went up.

Beyond the secular indicators of Aura Expert, Aura Gardner, and Aura Master.

Havel has now reached a realm beyond that.

A level of Aura that cannot be expressed even by worldly indicators.

Yet Aura continued to grow with each increase in the number.

Havel wondered if this Aura was related to qualifications.

Because Aura was closer to innate aptitude.

‘Then if I were to Transcend Qualities.’

Perhaps I will be able to bring forth a dawn that I have never seen before.

So Havel decided to transcend this time.

[One of the attributes acquired for the Transcendence of ‘Quality’ will be consumed.]

[Target ‘Firearms’]

[Transcendence of ‘qualities’ begins.]

[99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds until the Transcendence of ‘Investment’]

The Firearms I had just acquired were offered as a sacrifice without even being tested.

It was a shame, but I’ve been convinced lately.

No matter what new things I learn, Dawn was the strongest for me.

It will be enough to polish it with Dawn.

It was when Havel entered Babel with that thought.

“The Lion’s Emblem? Isn’t it Banpelion?”

“That’s him. The one who kept climbing the tower even after Dante disappeared.”

“His name was, uh, Havel?”

Then, the number of people who recognized Havel in Babel increased one by one.

Even though Havel’s presence was faint.

That was because the mantle he was wearing had the emblem of the Banphelion.

“Did you just come from a battle?”

Habel then belatedly looked himself over.

Habel’s clothes were in shambles from the consecutive battles.

They were burnt and torn in many places; they were the clothes Arthur had prepared for him.

It seemed he had to change into something else now that they were in this state.

“Ah, Sir Habel.”

Just then, Habel’s eyes caught sight of Elasia.

She had been waiting ever since Habel had left after confirming her location with his tracking magic.

Despite all the chaos, her clothes were clean.

They must have been magically treated.

This was perfect timing.

“Elasia?”

“Yes?”

“Go buy me some clothes.”

I’ll have her run an errand.
