Transcendent (2)
Unknowingly, Kim Bongpal traced the sensations in his fingertips as he contemplated the attack he had just unleashed. It felt a little like getting drunk, and it felt good but different than how hed been swinging until now.
!
It didnt last long. Kim Bongpal again tightened his grip. This time, he beheaded the Monstrous Immortal. But it wasnt over.
It doesnt feel weird.
Hadnt he seen a lot of bastards who could reattach their heads?
Ha?
However, the current scene was a little surprising even to Kim Bongpal. His opponents head wasnt reattached to the rest of the body like hed seen with the vampires. Insteada new head grew in its place.
Gaargh!
This time, the new face was a little older than the previous one.
What the hell? You grew a new head? Fuck.
Shut up. Ill make your death painful no matter what.
The Monstrous Immortals eyes narrowed with rage, dropping the pretentious courtesy hed shown before. It was inevitable.
Although the Monstrous Immortal was half-human, he wasnt a true human being. The technique he mastered had nothing to do with regenerative power. Moreover, the failure of the Half-Turn Aging caused by forcibly opening the door to the Transcendental realm turned him into a half-Transcendent who could only maintain his youthful appearance by drinking the blood of others.
Therefore, the Monstrous Immortal used the blood he had accumulated over the years to regenerate. And what made him even angrier was this opponent, though they looked incomplete at first, now seemed to have reached the point of transcendence a while ago. It was something he couldnt understand.
When he looked at him earlier, it was clear that only the body had reached beyond the wall. However, that attack was from a Transcendent. Then
The conclusion was easy. His opponent grew with a sudden realization while fighting. Judging by the aura he showed, he didnt completely cross the wall, but it was clear he was one step away from it. If a little more time passed, he would eventually cross it.
Whoosh!
The Monstrous Immortal gritted his teeth. He had failed to reach that state after sacrificing much, and as a result, hed suffered in the following decades. Hence, he was furious that this opponent had suddenly overcome the boundary he couldnt.
Swoosh-
The Monstrous Immortal didnt hide his anger. Rather, he bluntly expressed it and boosted his energy. The earlier loss resulted from playing with his opponent and not showing his true power.
The Monstrous Immortal was careless, and he paid the price for it. But now, no more games. He intended to kill his opponent before that man reached enlightenment.
While Monstrous Immortal was thinking about that, Kim Bongpal
Cough.
Ha. Fuck.
His mouth was full of blood.
Is it time for me to die? Fuckthis happens after I fire it once.
He pretended to be calm, but inside he was reeling. Every time he breathed, more blood leaked out. Considering what Kim Bongpal did, it was fortunate that his injuries were only like this.
Did Kim Bongpals natural talent make it possible, or was it his amazing body? In any case, what Kim Bongpal unfolded was an attack that shouldve been impossible. It existed in a realm that wasnt allowed for one that hadnt crossed the wall.
However, Kim Bongpal forced it to open. Of course, it wasnt in such a dishonest way as the Monstrous Immortal attempted. It was simply that Kim Bongpals body, which had already reached the point of transcendence, raised his lacking mind and spirit for a moment. However, it was such a sudden rise his body had to suffer the aftermath.
Spit!
Phew.
Kim Bongpal spat a glob of blood out. The taste of iron faded a bit, but the rest of his body felt torn apart. Still, thanks to his body being completely transcendental, they were only minor wounds. But because of them, the wounds the Monstrous Immortal inflicted reopened.
And the Monstrous Immortal noticed.
Haha. I think that look suits you perfectly.
He returned to his strange way of speaking. He seemed to know full well that he had the advantage.
* * *
Bang!
Kim Bongpal and the Monstrous Immortal clashed several more times. It soon became obvious which of the two had the upper hand. Gradually, Kim Bongpal was being pushed back.
Maya also witnessed the attack that Kim Bongpal fired earlier, and she reached a similar conclusion. Kim Bongpal was slowly reaching beyond the wall. It was strange to express it slowly since he reached a point that would take others more than a few decades to attempt. But the progress was too slow for Maya, who watched their fight.
Kim Bongpals wounds continued to pile up, and his blood dampened the ground. It was odd, but he was both delicate and immortal at this moment.
Ugh!
Seeing that, Maya agonized over what to do. Her sense of reason was calling out to her not to think nonsense. Rather, it was the right choice to run away, leaving Kim Bongpal and the Monstrous Immortal behind.
Human blood. When she first met Kim Bongpal, she jokingly asked him if she could try his blood, but in fact, ingesting human blood from a supernatural being like Maya was akin to drinking poison. It could undo the work shed completed since losing her blood to Scherazard.
However.
Boom!
Kim Bongpals body was blown away by the Monstrous Immortals attack. It was a direct hit this time.
Maya finally concluded what she should do.
Gulp.
After hesitation, Maya collected Kim Bongpals scattered blood and swallowed it. She wouldnt be able to do much with this, and it couldnt completely replace the role of her blood taken away by Scherazard. She would only be able to exert the old strength shed lost for a short time. If she went any further, the Monstrous Immortal might notice her imperfection.
But what she would give up for this short moment of strength would last much longer.
Swoosh-
The air changed. It was a change that Kim Bongpal and the Monstrous Immortal, concentrating on each other, remained unaware of. But they were made to notice it when a ray of energy penetrated the ground between them.
Whoosh!
The Monstrous Immortals arm was sent flying. Kim Bongpal felt the energy somewhat unfamiliar. However, the Monstrous Immortal could recall it.
Ha?
Kim Bongpal frowned as if he had seen something difficult to understand. On the other hand, the Monstrous Immortal
He hardened in place. The smile that hung on his lips a while ago also disappeared. The arm he tried to regenerate would not regrow. Something was preventing his regeneration now, some supernatural force.
The Monstrous Immortals two torn eyes focused on a single spot. He sneered.
Maya.
The once powerful and mighty supernatural being. It wasnt the Maya who had degenerated into a small fry, but the old Maya that the Monstrous Immortal remembered.
His eyes went cold. The Monstrous Immortal was now looking at Maya, borrowing the eyes he had obtained through black magic just as he had done with Kim Bongpal earlier. But this time, even those eyes could not penetrate Mayas sorcery. It was the same, even if he mobilized all his other abilities.
Of course, the Monstrous Immortal didnt believe Maya had fully restored her power. If that were the case, things wouldnt have progressed this way in the first place. Her attitude when she first met him wouldnt make sense.
Perhaps Mayas appearance now was something she temporarily obtained by triggering her remaining potential. But he didnt have time to think about it.
Mayas energy rushed the Monstrous Immortal.
Step!
The Monstrous Immortal pulled back, but he could hear Maya chanting a spell in the distance. It wouldnt be the same as the useless spells earlier, and Mayas true sorcery was enough to tear apart the Monstrous Immortals black magic and Immortal Technique.
Besides, Maya wasnt the only one here. The Monstrous Immortals gaze turned to Kim Bongpal.
He gritted his teeth. That man, unlike him, was someone who could cross the wall without going through the Evil Path. So, the next time they met, todays dominance might be completely reversed.
I should have killed him somehow!
The Monstrous Immortal decided to regret it later. For now, it couldnt be helped, and he prepared to retreat.
Where are you going!
Kim Bongpal swung his sword at the Monstrous Immortal. There was a humming vibration, and although it wasnt as good as the previous one, a high-density Trail Force flew from it.
Crank!
It was the Monstrous Immortals head that had been cut a while ago that blocked it. The Monstrous Immortals ominous energy, mixed with black magic, wrapped around his head and raised it to block the attack. Then, the head began to wriggle, soon becoming a wall of flesh. It exploded against Kim Bongpals Trail Force. Chunks of flesh splashed away as smoke rose.
When the smoke dispersed, the Monstrous Immortal had disappeared.
Fuck.
Kim Bongpal murmured.
Not being able to kill the person he wanted to kill after struggling this much was the first time in decades for him. But now wasnt the time to vent his anger.
By the way, what happened to you?
Instead, his curiosity about Maya was rising.
What are you thinking?
Is that your original form?
You can say it like that. Hmm. I have much more to say, but I dont have time.
Maya smiled softly. He was unsure if she was beautiful, but Maya looked mature, as Warg said. It felt quite awkward for Kim Bongpal. Was she the same as the kid with snack crumbs on her lips a few hours ago?
I am also the same, but you must recover first.
Ha?
Recover what? It was only a little pain
!
It was when Kim Bongpal thought that an unbearable pain came over him. It was like nothing he had felt before. It was enough to make him lose his mind for a moment.
Flop-
Maya, still in her original form, caught the falling Kim Bongpal.
Swoosh-
Maya gathered her few remaining power and built a barrier around them. Then she went searching in Kim Bongpals pocket. What she brought out was the Great Spirit Pill, and she pushed it into Kim Bongpals mouth and then melted it with her energy.
This may not be enough.
It was said to be the greatest elixir from Shaolin, but that was only by human standards. It was remarkably insufficient to heal the cost of experiencing a sudden transcendence as Kim Bongpal forced. The cost of coveting something that couldnt be reached was huge.
Moreover, he fought the Monstrous Immortal past that point. The pill alone wouldnt be enough to completely recover his body, and it would return to the state before Transcendence.
Right. That was absolutely right.
Huh?
However, something strange happened. It was surprisingly bizarre even for Maya, with all her experience. Kim Bongpals body absorbed the pill and was now recovering itself. It was incomprehensible.
Maya hastily activated Supernatural Eye to examine him. The fallen Maya wouldnt know the secret if she lost her present form. However
I-I cant.
Just like Kim Bongpal had earlier, Maya regained her youthful appearance and collapsed.
Uhmm, lift it.
Her thoughts cut off, and all she could manage was some sleep talk.
