Myst, Might, Mayhem

Chapter 493 – The Supreme Sword (7)

Goooooo!

Suddenly, enormous formless swords appeared in every direction the Golden Heavenly King looked, creating a wall as if to surround him and prevent his escape.

This majestic sight was enough to draw exclamations even from the martial artists fighting the remaining evil spirits in the distance.

A wall made of formless swords called the Sword Extreme.

It was truly the realm of a martial god.

However, the Golden Heavenly King, trapped within the wall of formless swords, sneered at this sight.

-You think you can contain me with just this? With my divine artifacts alone…

“Use them all you want.”

-What?

“It will all be futile struggling.”

-Whoosh!

With those words, Mok Gyeong-un’s form instantly burrowed to the front.

Having closed the distance in an instant, Mok Gyeong-un tried to plant a fist into the Golden Heavenly King’s jaw.

However, at that moment,

-Swish!

The Golden Heavenly King’s form scattered, and

-Swish swish swish swish!

The number began to increase.

This wasn’t afterimages left by moving quickly, but truly about a hundred clones appearing in an instant.

The hundred or so Golden Heavenly Kings opened their mouths simultaneously.

-You, who have fought me for so long, should know well that the Mirror Surface doesn’t simply reflect.

-Whoosh!

As soon as those words ended, the hundred or so clones surrounding Mok Gyeong-un simultaneously swung their Swords of Aden.

-Rumble rumble rumble!

At that moment, the space where Mok Gyeong-un was distorted, and a black sphere the size of a dot appeared.

The space itself had distorted as gravity concentrated in one place, and the gravitational pull was beyond imagination.

-Whoosh!

Gravity is also a kind of weight.

Due to the tremendous gravitational pull, Mok Gyeong-un’s body was about to be sucked into the black sphere as if it were a piece of paper.

At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un stretched his finger towards the dot.

‘Void Suppression!’

At that instant, the surrounding space seemed to compress, converging into a single point, conflicting with the black dot created by the Golden Heavenly King, and the intersecting space tore apart.

-Crack crack crack crack!

-Whoosh!

Not missing this gap, Mok Gyeong-un repeatedly kicked the air.

Then, wind rose from the tips of Mok Gyeong-un’s feet, his form quickly vibrated, and then began to multiply.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

‘This guy?’

The Golden Heavenly King’s eyes narrowed.

Mok Gyeong-un’s forms multiplied as whirlwinds swept through.

As if he were using the Mirror Surface ability of the Armor of Aden to increase his clones, they suddenly increased to several dozen.

Seeing this increased number, the eyes of Dam Baek-ha of the Nine Blood Cult, who was watching from afar, widened.

‘Is that the Wind Shadow Eight Forms?’

The Wind Shadow Eight Forms was a secret technique of the Jin Clan.

It was a supreme martial art that created up to eight clones using the Wind Shadow Step, the world’s best lightness technique, to simultaneously unleash eight different martial arts.

But now, Mok Gyeong-un had broken through the limits of the Wind Shadow Eight Forms and created even more clones.

Just how fast was he moving?

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

It must be at a speed difficult to discern with the naked eye.

The multiplied forms of Mok Gyeong-un simultaneously rushed towards the clones of the Golden Heavenly King in front of each of them.

-How interesting. To create clones without relying on the power of divine artifacts. But!

-Woong woong woong woong!

The hundred or so Golden Heavenly Kings simultaneously gripped their Swords of Aden in reverse and drew up divine power.

Then, as pure white radiance flowed out,

-Whoosh!

Mok Gyeong-un’s clones flying towards the Golden Heavenly King were thrown up, down, and sideways against their will due to the gravitational anomaly.

And the clones that were thrown away became blurry and disappeared.

-Hastily created clones won’t work…!?

-Swoosh!

The Golden Heavenly King, who was about to mock the clones disappearing so easily, hurriedly swung the Sword of Aden.

This was because formless swords were flying towards him from where the clones had disappeared due to the gravitational anomaly.

The clones were simply a distraction.

-Woong woong woong woong!

‘What? Gravity doesn’t work?’

He tried once again to change gravity to blow away the formless swords.

But the formless swords didn’t stop, instead flying towards them.

There was one thing he didn’t know here.

Formless swords are aggregates of sharp energy with no mass, only sharpness exists.

It was impossible for them to be affected by gravity.

-Swoosh!

Therefore, the formless swords passed through the gravity field effortlessly and reached the clones of the Golden Heavenly King.

But at that moment,

-Grin!

The corners of the Golden Heavenly King’s mouth turned up ominously.

‘Do you know what it means to have a form even if it has no weight?’

-Woong woong woong woong!

-Slash!

The formless swords seemed to burrow into the armor, but they didn’t destroy it.

They were burrowing into the Mirror Surface, the divine power of the armor.

As they were sucked into the Mirror Surface, the Golden Heavenly King turned towards where another clone was.

Then,

-Slash!

The sword reflected by the Mirror Surface flew towards another clone,

-Woong woong!

And passed through the Mirror Surface again.

But in this process, each time it passed through the Mirror Surface, it gained speed as gravity was added by the Sword of Aden.

-Whoosh!

Mok Gyeong-un swung his sword intent to erase the formless swords, but at the point they passed through the Mirror Surface, they were no longer the formless swords he had unleashed.

The formless swords that had escaped control continued to pass through the armor worn by the Golden Heavenly King’s clones, being reflected and accelerating.

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Before long, the formless swords had changed to a speed close to light.

It was difficult for the human eye to discern, and the surroundings were being filled with streams of light.

“Haa… Haa… That’s insane.”

Yu Wujin of the Yoo clan, watching this confrontation from afar covered in wounds, clicked his tongue at this sight.

Mok Gyeong-un, whom he saw again, had become even more of a monster, but that was truly a being humans couldn’t handle.

How could one possibly block that?

It seemed impossible even if the entire Yoo clan combined their strength.

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over a hundred formless swords had become streams of light themselves through the Mirror Surface and gravity.

-Can you handle acceleration that surpasses even reflexes?

The Golden Heavenly King turned his body towards Mok Gyeong-un with a meaningful cry.

-Bam!

At that moment, over a hundred streams of light flew towards Mok Gyeong-un in an instant.

The formless swords moving at an invisible speed, even crossing space, seemed about to penetrate Mok Gyeong-un’s body.

But in that fleeting moment,

-Woong woong woong woong!

The tip of Mok Gyeong-un’s evil sword Evil Commandment Sword, stained with black demonic energy, rippled in the form of a huge wave, and the formless swords that had become streams of light didn’t pass through the wave but rippled and rotated fiercely.

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

‘What on earth is this!?’

It was a technique of the Scripture of Transferring True Qi, which could be called the highest realm of grafting techniques.

Originally, it was a supreme technique that added one’s own power to the opponent’s attack, but here Mok Gyeong-un demonstrated a skill that would astonish even grand masters.

‘Ghost Blade Force Energy Transfer True Force Formless Penetrating Sword!’

-Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The streams of light from the formless swords that had been rotating fiercely, caught in the marvelous principle of the Energy Transfer True Force, soon absorbed Mok Gyeong-un’s demonic energy and became black streams of light rushing towards the hundred or so clones.

‘Oh no!’

The Golden Heavenly King hurriedly exerted the divine power of the Mirror Surface at the tremendous speed.

But the moment the black streams of light touched,

-Tremble tremble tremble!

Their tips trembled, and due to the marvelous principle of the Penetrating Force that transmitted power, the black streams of light pierced straight through the Mirror Surface.

-Stab stab stab stab stab stab stab stab!

Black streams of light piercing through the chests of the hundred Golden Heavenly Kings and cutting through the air.

-Kugh!

-Kugh!

-Kugh!

The death cries of the Golden Heavenly King’s clones.

‘!!!!!!!!!’

The mouths of the supreme experts watching this amazing sight fell open.

They had thought Mok Gyeong-un was in the worst crisis when the Golden Heavenly King’s clones accelerated the formless swords into streams of light.

But this was beyond imagination, no, it was thrilling.

Even one marvelous principle alone would be a supreme technique, but to combine them all in a moment when his life was on the line.

‘…A monster? No, even that’s not enough.’

‘That is the god of martial arts itself.’

There were even those who shed tears.

Although it was barely visible to the naked eye, just seeing these incredible marvelous principles flashing for a moment was overwhelming.

At some point, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, everyone was filled with awe.

That’s how much Mok Gyeong-un was demonstrating the pinnacle of martial arts that seemed to reach the heavens.

-Whoosh!

The penetrated clones burst into flames and scattered into ash in an instant.

Among the ashes, the only real body barely avoided the black streams of light, but his eyes were tinged with bewilderment.

That just now was the strongest attack, combined with the acceleration of gravity, the divine power of the Mirror Surface, and even his own divine power.

Even during the God-Demon War, it was difficult to demonstrate an attack of this level of power, so what on earth was this guy?

How could he display such incredible skills with just a human body?

These were powers close to miracles, without divine artifacts.

-Whoosh!

Meanwhile, his eyes met with Mok Gyeong-un’s through the ashes of the annihilated clones.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at him wasn’t that of facing a strong opponent.

It was the look of an absolute being gazing at him.

[Use them all you want. It will all be futile struggling.]

For a moment, Mok Gyeong-un’s words flashed through his mind.

He had casually dismissed those words that suggested he could handle him regardless of becoming human or losing his divine artifacts.

But those words of his were sincere.

-Grr!

Recalling this, he was suddenly gripped by anger.

Do you really believe you can do anything to me with that insignificant human body?

If so, I’ll call it arrogance.

I thought I wouldn’t need to use my full strength to kill you who has become human, but I’ve changed my mind.

I’ll annihilate everything gathered here, including you.

-Whoosh!

The silver crown on the Golden Heavenly King’s head emitted a white light.

-Woong woong woong woong!

Then, numerous light spheres the size of fists appeared from all directions and flew towards Mok Gyeong-un simultaneously.

-Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam!

In that state, the Golden Heavenly King tightly clenched his left hand.

Then, the ring on his finger began to emit an intense radiance, and soon the space between the split dark clouds began to ripple.

This wasn’t due to gravity.

-Crack crack crack crack crack crack!

With a strange sound that shook the eardrums, the sky truly split open, revealing a world as black as the night sky.

Countless stars were twinkling in the black world.

-Goooooo!

As the Golden Heavenly King moved his left hand in that state, the black world moved and began to focus somewhere as if expanding, and something was visible there.

“Wh-what is that?”

“Could it be…?”

Everyone watching was in an uproar at the sight of numerous huge gray boulders visible in the split black world.

What on earth were those?

Could those be star fragments?

Amidst the murmuring sounds and the emotions of fear and terror rising here and there, the Golden Heavenly King raised the Sword of Aden with a chilling smile full of madness.

As radiance flowed from the sword and the power of gravity arose,

-Goooooo!

The huge gray boulders visible between the split stars began to move towards this place.

The approaching boulders were glowing red hot, and heat could be felt.

-Rumble rumble rumble!

The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred due to the tremendous pressure, and the earth was being crushed.

The Golden Heavenly King shouted with maniacal laughter.

-This is the power of a god. With this…

-Slash!

It was at that very moment.

A black line appeared between the spheres of light.

As a sharp sensation arrived from something crossing space, a red line appeared on the right arm of the Golden Heavenly King holding the Sword of Aden.

‘What is this?’

-Swoosh!

Then, as the radiance flowing from his sword disappeared, his arm fell off.
