Chapter 194: Can you chase after me? (2)

Since demons were infesting the Arcana Continent.

It was only natural that there were demons in the Zero Mountain.

But they sure were more reckless than Grandfel.

Arent you scared?

Even if we excluded the sleeping dragons.

Were they not afraid of the monsters in Zero Mountain?

Well, like now, even the low-level mobs.

Dash

As soon as they sensed my presence, they ran away.

It was common knowledge that stronger monsters appeared the higher you climbed. Aside from everything else, these monsters were not intimidated by the dragons and were content just hanging around.

By the way.

Even a beast can be so wise.

Dont be so cheeky in the low-level section, Grandfel.

Do you want to keep up your form even in front of common rabbits?

But I continued shamelessly.

You enter without knowing your place, demon.

[Natural Enemy Relationship].

I could smell the demon from the wind.

Was it because my level had gone up?

Or was it because I was specially trained by Akshans demon hunter of hell?

Even in the vast Zero Mountain, my senses were not dulled.

At this rate, if I go to the Arcana Continent that is overflowing with demons

Wouldnt the [Natural Enemy Relationship] get activated all the time?

Should I feel happy about it?

Or should I feel sorry for them?

I felt complicated.

However

Dont think about running away.

For now, I should just focus on the demon in front of me.

Now that [Natural Enemy Relationship] had been activated.

Even though this place was the Zero Mountain, I didnt need to shrink back.

Even if I raised my level by skipping the intermediate process, there was a limit to it. I had awakened to the level of transcendent, the circle, and the sword force, but not to a great level.

Even if its a bottomless state, its level will increase several times.

Of course, that didnt mean I would ignore the intermediate process.

If I become fully awakened, it may be tens of times greater.

Well, even if the order was slightly reversed.

In the end, wouldnt it be solved once I learned it completely?

In that regard, I dont know what kind of demon this was, but they were quick-witted.

Perhaps they noticed my presence.

They were quickly distancing themselves from me.

But unfortunately.

Playing hide-and-seek?

A cold voice said.

Im not free enough to join in on the fun.

Grandfel had no mercy when it came to demons.

I immediately raised my mana.

Try running as much as you want.

Its better if you relax while running.

I just had to make a portal appear.

Besides.

Tap tap

No matter what, I wanted to avoid hiking with my shoes

*

Shegwin climbed the mountain with empty eyes.

He felt thirsty.

Just a few minutes ago, he quenched his thirst at the spring.

The thirst only got worse.

Once again, he became aware of it.

He was no longer a human being.

Clink

By the time Shegwin withdrew his sword, the mountain was covered in blood.

The named monster of the high mountain range, the Seven-Tailed Fox, had died.

Shegwin recalled his old body in the past.

The strength is incomparable.

At that time.

Shegwin had climbed Zero Mountain and encountered a five-tailed fox.

Befitting his title Sword Saint. Even at that time, Shegwin had dominated the five-tailed fox, but he had been unable to conclude the match.

My body has definitely become stronger.

Now he was able to kill the seven-tailed fox who was stronger than that.

This body, which had become stronger than when it was in its prime, slaughtered the seven-tailed fox before it could cast its spell.

But why?

Shegwin looked at his sword, Atlas.

It didnt emit the sword force.

There was no resonance in the sword.

Grit

Shegwin gritted his teeth nervously.

You dont recognize me?

Foolish thing.

If you were fine, I wouldnt have come to this damn mountain.

The reason Shegwin visited Zero Mountain was simple.

The sword aura became thicker at the crossroads of life and death.

He was here to awaken the sword aura again.

Its because Ive become so strong.

His body had been corrupted and regained its youth.

He wouldnt even be able to stand at the crossroads of life and death in most battles.

But there is nothing to worry about.

Master of Zero Mountain.

A dragon could put him at a crossroads of life and death.

If that was what Atlas wanted, he would do it.

Shegwin smirked.

You wont just watch your master die.

He continued to climb the mountain range.

He could see the peak where the magic circles were engraved.

In the past and now, the Mage Tower was truly a nuisance.

In order to not let anyone approach the dragons.

He never thought they would put magic circles.

If it were me in the past, it would have been difficult.

To protect the magic circles.

They even manifested countless magic traps.

Shegwin touched the sealing magic circle and suffered quite a few injuries from the magic trap.

If it werent for his body being closer to a demon than a human, the injury would have made him unable to walk ever again.

?

But all his hardship became meaningless.

Shegwin witnessed it.

The peak where the destroyed magic circle was engraved.

It stood tall.

As if nothing happened.

Was he dreaming right now?

Or was he still blacking out and wandering around in his unconsciousness?

His head throbbed as if he had been hit in the back of his head.

I guess my skull was really shaken.

He could have been mistaken.

The evil eyes were no longer visible in the night sky.

Not only that.

The view from Zero Mountain also changed.

Damn it.

It was definitely the ocean.

Where did the Arcana Continent go?

Even if he looked everywhere, all he could see was the blue sea.

Zero Mountain fell into the sea overnight?

Compared to that possibility.

It was more likely that his senses had been broken.

Crack!

Shegwin nervously hit the tree, causing the pillar to bend and fall down. Shegwin reasoned with himself. Lets think about it, where did things go wrong?

When things started going wrong.

At the social gathering of time and space.

It started from the time when he encountered the silver-haired man there.

Yeah, that man was the culprit of everything.

If it wasnt for that man.

He would have taken over Antonium and got his hands on the Milky Way whetstone.

He even killed the feudal lords with his own hands.

Because of that, he became aware of the power of demons.

It shouldnt have happened.

The moment he gritted his teeth.

?

Thump

His heart.

Thump thump

He started running.

!

Even in front of the Great Youkai of the Zero Mountain, the Seven-Tailed Fox. Even with the dragons nest in front of him.

His heart had been beating normally.

Now it began to beat as if it were going to explode.

If he didnt have any experience, he would have been mistaken.

Like the feeling of seeing the evil eyes that he couldnt see.

Or seeing the ocean that he shouldnt be able to see.

He would have thought there was just something wrong with his heart.

But Shegwin also knew the cause of his heartbeat.

Its that man!

It was that silver-haired man again this time.

In an instant, he recalled it.

The voice echoed in his head.

Youd better appreciate the procedure of the social gathering.

Im desperately patient right now.

Sword Saint. No, you are a swordsman who is uglier than the demon.

Gulp

His throat burned even more.

Shegwin swallowed his dry saliva and began to run.

I have to run away.

Sword Saint.

The only Grand Sword Master on the continent was running away.

It was a situation that he himself couldnt understand, but there was no other way.

The man unanimously earned the title of Transcendent by sending a high-ranking demon king into hell. Even if Shegwin had been able to unleash his sword force, he was not confident in winning.

Now that Atlas was not responding

There is no chance for me to win.

Fortunately, his physical ability was fine.

Was it because he crossed the mountain range without stopping?

Was it because the distance between them widened?

His heartbeat gradually settled down.

Just as Shegwin stopped walking.

Goo

In front of Shegwin.

A ray of magical light was drawn in the air.

It was a portal.

A shadow appeared in the backlight of the magic.

The shadow grew closer and closer.

Thump thump!

His heart broke down again.

.

.

.

Seriously, why are you here?

Shegwin.

My target and the reason why I had to be strong was right in front of me.

It was probably not a mistake, but why did he do that?

I couldnt even imagine it was him because he was so desperate to run away.

Like a rabbit running away.

I thought it was an imp or a low-level demon at most!

The stronger the demons, the more cunning they became.

Did he detect danger and run away?

No, that meant he avoided situations where he could be at risk.

If you look at the Arcana Continent now, thats how it is.

Now that the current high-ranking demon king, Gamigin, had fallen into hell.

The Arcana Continent was so peaceful.

Sometimes I came across low-level demons who couldnt understand their situation.

The demon kings and the demons of the true name at their level were so cautious that even when I looked around with the [Evils Eyes Telescope], I couldnt see them at all.

So why are you here?

I wasnt worried about him.

How dangerous was the Zero Mountain?

Dragons lived at the top! Dragons!

I wanted to at least be angry at this unimaginable encounter.

Wait a minute.

Soon, the puzzle was put together in my head.

I opened my mouth.

So, thats it. You were the one who destroyed the Mage Towers magic circle.

I was wondering who could destroy the Mage Towers magic circle.

It made sense if that person was Shegwin.

It seemed I hit the nail on the head.

Step

Shegwin stepped back and opened his mouth.

As expected, its you. The person who restored the magic circle.

Of course, I didnt answer back.

To Grandfel, Shegwin was a demon, or worse than that. The fact that I could say anything at all was thanks to a great deal of patience.

Suddenly.

Kuhahaha.

Shegwin laughed with a sob.

Whats wrong with him?

Being so creepy all of a sudden.

While I was startled, Shegwin continued.

Things are really fucking messed up.

Excuse me, look whos talking.

I wanted to strike back, but Shegwin didnt seem to have the time to listen to me. Shegwin immediately raised his sword. But something was missing.

I couldnt see his sword force?

Look. Atlas, your master is on the verge of dying.

Atlas, was that the name of the sword?

By the way, youre on the verge of dying?

Thats what I want to say, too, though?

Honestly, Im nervous.

[Natural Enemy Relationship] was activated.

That was not enough.

The stronger the demon.

The more Grandfels pride grew higher

Shegwin was definitely a burdensome opponent.

Even if he couldnt unleash his sword force.

His quick-sword technique didnt just disappear.

Atlas, unless you really intend to kill me.

Youd better break your stubbornness.

Flash!

As expected, my ominous premonitions were never wrong.

Why was he so fast?

He was more agile than any monster I had ever seen.

He even has great combat sense.

This was Shegwin who had been corrupted into a demon.

He looked like a young man, but when he was human, he was a swordsman well past his prime. That was how experienced he must be. Indeed, he seemed to have a lot of experience fighting mages.

Shegwin hid behind a landmark.

Is this the power of a transcendent?

It was a speed I couldnt capture with my eyes.

Then again, if Shegwin wasnt a demon.

I would have been doomed.

However, since he had been corrupted into a demon.

There you are.

He couldnt escape the radius of [Natural Enemy Relationship].

You smell like demons, Shegwin.

I repeated to myself.

Its not about looking with my eyes.

Chase him by the smell.

The most important thing was that I didnt reveal that.

If it was Shegwin.

The moment he realized I had lost track of his movements.

He would grab his sword and rush in to kill me.

Unfortunately, I didnt have the confidence to block that blow.

But I had my iron mask.

You cant hide from me.

Yeah, the same attitude as always.

I swear.

You wont see the slightest agitation or loophole from me.

Thump thump

For a moment, there was silence.

Thanks to this, Shegwins wild heartbeat reached me.

It was clearly the heartbeat of a frightened demon.

I dont know why he was so scared since earlier.

It was great.

I needed to take advantage of that illusion.

That way, I wouldnt sink into this heavy pride.

Making illusions and overestimations a reality?

I was as good at it as I was at not showing my emotions.

Just like I had done so far.

I was confident that I could do it shamelessly.

So I raised my arms in restraints.

Its as if your heart is an instrument.

What I took out from my arms was the loot of Demon King Amdusias.

Then.

[Baton Tainted by Evil].

No, now it was [Baton of Rhyme].

I held up the loot of the demon king and continued.

A duet with some screams wouldnt be bad either.

Even worse, a duet?

No, because of the circumstances, this was fine.

No matter what you say, I dont have time to tackle you now, Grandfel.

But one thing was certain.

There was a reason why I took out the baton.

Isnt it unfair that youre being so fast alone, Shegwin?

Sk

I raised the baton.

Spin

Countless spheres of light rose from all over Zero Mountain.

Yeah, they were the lights I manifested.

Sk

Float

As the baton moved.

Masses of pure mana moved along.

And then.

?!

Even Shegwin accelerated at an unavoidable speed.

Vivace. Lively and fast

Just as I commanded.
