At that moment, Sword Oneâs sword was covered with black colored energy.
Although Muyoung lost some agility and lost the effect of the Lunatic Sovereignâs Setâs effect of an increase in all stats by 5, the use of Sword One was greater than he expected.
The energy that could be felt by Bastro, who stood right in front of him, exceeded that of the great chieftainâs.
Bastro also didnât lack compared to Sword One.
If he could just hunt him, Muyoung was certain to receive a reward greater than what he sacrificed.
The work of killing tens of thousands of devils and getting rid of all the nobles, including Bastro.
It wouldnât be just a half decent reward.
âI will kill you all!â
Bastro was truly going berserk.
As if all restrictions had been released, he didnât differentiate between friend or foe.
For someone who wasnât even a Demon King to marry a Demon Godâs daughter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He felt like he could understand the reason why.
âIncomplete strength.â
Although it was a form created by combining all 7 clones into a main body, it was incomplete.
For some reason, his form was extremely unstable. It was because the seven grains didnât combine properly.
Even so, he was exhibiting that much Herculean strength.
An authority even the Demon Kings and Demon Gods would have their eyes on.
However, no one could stop that obstinacy.
Other fire tars were also in chaos.
Especially Ogarâ¦
He stood still like a hardened statue.
âIs my opponent that monster?â
Sword One spoke as he raised his sword and pointed towards Bastro.
Maybe because he had the tendency of a âdevilâ unlike normal undead, his way of talking was extremely cold.
It was definitely a different tendency compared to other undead.
Sword Two and Sword Three approached near Sword One, one after the other.
These three people were labeled by the name âSwordâ.
When the three were gathered, an additional effect was received.
The three swords resonated and spread out in a triangular form.
Sword One stood at the front and looked at Muyoung.
Muyoung spoke slowly.
âWork together with the other Sword Bones and kill him.â
âI understood. If it isnât the âswordâs sourceâ, I will not lose.â
The swordâs sourceâ¦
It seemed like he was talking about King Slayer.
Although Sword One became a devil, he remembered his fight against King Slayer.
Even how greatly he lost.
Since it was sad to even call it a fight.
Maybe because of this reason, Sword One treated King Slayer as the âswordâs sourceâ.
However, that was because King Slayer was such an unconventional being.
The Masters of the Darkness. Although he didnât know them well, didnât even the Great Magician Merlin think highly of them?
So, unless it was that sort of unconventional being, Sword One wouldnât be easily defeated.
When people say top 10 strongest humans, they are talking about the ones who can fight equally against even a Demon King.
âThere are quite a few who could be within the top 10 humans. But, they canât all fight against a Demon King.â
Demon King. The end of all Authorities.
Only those who could face them had âstrongestâ added to their title.
Now, the meaning slightly changed and was now called âthe top 10 humansâ, but in reality, the original meaning was the â10 heroes who could face against a Demon Kingâ.
Either way, it meant that the top 10 humans were that much of a master at figuring out the Demon Kingâs authorities.
All those who were among the top 10 humans got stronger by having pure skills as their foundation.
Even if the meaning had changed, only those who passed the minimum requirements were called the top 10.
âPurity is used as the base for true strength to figure out authority.â
And Sword One only got stronger by practicing his âswordâ.
Thatâs why he was the best opponent for Bastro.
If the great chieftain had fallen, in reality only Sword One could face Bastro.
But, Muyoung wasnât planning to just sit aside.
âBae Sungmin.â
Swook.
A black circle appeared on the floor and out of it, Bae Sungmin soared up.
Bae Sungmin lowered his head as he popped a devilâs heart he was holding with his hand.
âDid you call?â
âPlace a Saintâs Blessing on me.â
âIt will harm your body. I donât recommend it.â
A Saintâs Blessing was a strong light type skill.
On the other hand, Muyoung was filled with powers of the darkness.
Oom and Asura, and Gremoryâs Anguishâ¦
There was not one thing that would make you think of light.
If he was to receive a blessing, it was definitely possible to expect for the power to reject Muyoung, possibly harming him.
âBut, I still need to.â
The progress of the battle had turned once again.
It was because all the fire tars were swept with shock with the great chieftainâs fall.
If the tide didnât change soon, a loss was crystal clear.
It would be the same if Sword One killed Bastro.
Since, during the time of their fight, other allies would drop like flies.
Muyoung spoke again.
â10 minutes is enough. I can withstand that much.â
Bae Sungmin closed his eyes.
If it was some other undead, he would have acted without question but Bae Sungmin was reborn as a lich through âAuthority of Deathâ.
For instance, the Guardian of the Territory, Baltan, was all about protecting the humans. Unlike other undead, they had inherent goals.
Muyoung thought the reason why he asked for Muyoungâs opinion might be because of these âdistinct characteristicsâ.
A moment later, Bae Sungmin, who opened his eyes, nodded his head.
âI understand.â
At the same time, he held Muyoungâs hand.
And then from Bae Sungminâs hand, a sentence of light was written and started to place an energy of blessing.
Blaze!
10 minutes was enough.
10 minutes for Muyoung was longer than for others.
Muyoung started to move not long after the Sword Bone Trio left.
His horns sprouted and the world started to become slower.
Ogar couldnât believe the scene in front of his eyes.
The great chieftain. He had fallen.
He might have even died.
The living legend of the fire tars and Ogarâs idol.
Ogar was who he was now all thanks to the great chieftain.
âAhâ¦â
Normally, the fire tars were stubborn.
They hated change and had strong tendency to be satisfied with their current situation.
On the other hand, Ogar didnât fear challenges.
Even if he failed, he just laughed it off.
That nature didnât just get created all of a sudden.
It was only possible because he grew under the great chieftain.
The great chieftain taught things about freedom and also stressed responsibilities and duties.
He continuously stressed for Ogar to not be prejudice and be on guard about becoming arrogant after taking power.
He fulfilled the role of a good father and a strict teacher at the same time.
But, he, who Ogar didnât think would ever fall, was currently lying down on the ground.
The world stopped and Ogar couldnât hear anything.
âAre you going to stop because of a tragedy? If you are, then Iâm disappointed.â
Muyoung spoke.
With just that message behind, he ran into battle.
Ogar wanted to stop fighting but Muyoung told him not to.
Afterwards, his eyes bulged he was so surprised by Muyoungâs actions in this battle.
In a short time, he became the center of the battle as he received the gazesâ from every devil soldier.
With the lightâs blessing, he showed overwhelming martial art skills.
It was unlike Muyoung but Ogar knew it was to âshow othersâ.
It was so.
He was showing them.
To the fire tars, and to Ogar.
As he didnât need to make a big deal like that.
âOom is dominating the battle!â
âDonât yield to mere devils! We have the much greater Oom and Hoom!â
âA-Oom! A-Hoom!â
âWe need to save the lord!â
âTo the thick of the battle⦠sheet, letâs go!â
Small living creatures made a fuss over it.
Muyoung was using himself as bait to change the winds once more.
No one knew if it would become a headwind or tailwind.
At least to those small living creatures, it definitely worked to stir a strong typhoon.
âI need to move.â
The great chieftain had fallen.
The only one left was the vice chieftain, Ogar.
If Ogar stood stupidly, other fire tars would lose their direction.
Even the âweakâ creatures tried their best to fight, the fire tars couldnât just stand by and watch.
âFrom now on, Iâm the great chieftain.â
Now, when he confirmed the great chieftainâs absence, Ogar needed to quickly rise to that position.
So, his role was to remove this chaos.
The great chieftain always wanted it.
The great chieftain raised Ogar with this free spirit for only one reason.
To make a fire tar kingdom and not merely a fire tar tribe.
Now, it was time to move on to pursue his wishes.
Sword Oneâs sword trapped space.
Sword Oneâs sword ruled over laws.
Bastro, who was chaos itself, was like a natural enemy.
âYou who isnât even a human or a devil! Do you think you can win against me?â
âA dog thatâs losing a fight tends to be loud.â
The six tails attached to Bastro shook the land.
However, Sword Oneâs swordsmanship scuttled even the tail attacks.
Although he didnât end it, with Sword Oneâs endlessly pure swordsmanship, he had cut the tails with authority.
Like a huge dominant mountain, Sword One moved forward with each step.
Bastro could only be in a hurry.
However, he couldnât withdraw either.
He was confined in the area ruled by Sword One.
In this space, which was weaved together like a spiderâs web, all he could do was struggle, entrapped.
âHow long are you planning to confine me?!â
The six tails stood up like a straight line.
Thump!
Like pillars, they struck the ground and produced a lot of black smoke.
Afterwards, tons of circular objects started to pour out from the tail.
Clash! Clash clash clash!
Everything touched by the circular objects exploded.
And nothing was left after the explosion.
As if something had taken a bite, it disappeared cleanly.
Due to the shockwaves, Sword One momentarily wobbled. The barrier created by Sword Two and Sword Three was broken.
âYou are not a source.â
However, it still was an unstable incomplete being.
Someone that wasnât even a source couldnât win against purity just because it pretended to be so.
Of course, Sword One also wasnât at that level but he wouldnât lose to someone that wasnât a source.
He wouldnât have been called one of the top 10 humans for no reason.
Sword One organized his energy as he held his sword.
At the same time, the sphere that flew from Bastroâs tails clashed with his sword.
Bang!
With Ogarâs awakening as the start, the battle turned around once again.
There was no other word besides awakening to describe it.
As if he never stopped, he moved his feet faster than anyone else.
He killed without fearing death itself.
And the fight ended.
The moment when the evil soldiers were dominated, Bastro and Sword Oneâs fight had also ended.
Slaaash!
Sword Oneâs sword sliced Bastroâs body.
The six tails had already been severed.
As if the scene was showing how fierce the fight was, there was no land left in their surroundings.
Only a thick smoke that settled around their battleground, and within it, the two crazily fought each other.
Kyaaaaah!
A sound that rang peopleâs ears.
It was the sound that alerted the end of the battle.
In time, Bastro started to turn into ashes and disappeared.
Afterwards, Sword One approached Muyoung with his one arm and one leg lost and wings ripped.
He moved using his sword as a cane instead of his leg.
âI have completed my contract.â
Like the start, a completely emotionless expression.
That short message was all he said.
Sword Two, Sword Three, and Sword Oneâs form slowly started to break down.
Then, they returned to their talisman form.
The content of the contract was to merely kill Bastro and since he had completed it, there was no reason for him to stay.
Also, to recover his damaged body, he needed to return to his talisman form.
Ting!
Rummmbleâ¦
A black marble dropped to the ground as Sword One disappeared.
He didnât need to think to know what it was.
âBastroâs Crystallization.â
With this, six.
All noble devils gave out crystallizations.
As if it was destiny.
