Chapter 76: Who Are You? (6)

ㅡAnd then the guest arrived.

"Found you."

A soft female voice rang. It seemed fitting for some pre-slaughter entertainment.

And behind her were about 30 children.

They were only mid-tier.

'This is ridiculous.'

These people seemed like they intended to stop her.

Half of the 30 had surpassed Middle Realm.

'It's pointless.'

She was in the High Realm.

Among them, she was the most perfected being.

If she had just entered the High Realm, they might all pose a threat.

But she is different.

Having fallen from the position of the transcendent.

Though her realm had dropped, her combat style and knowledge remained as that of a transcendent.

Thus, among beings of the same tier, she was the strongest.

'This is ridiculous.'

They seemed to be under the illusion that they could stop her.

It was laughable.

That she had fallen this far.

'No.'

On second thought, it wasn't bad.

She planned to kill them all to spread word. At a glance, they appeared to be students.

If they call themselves heroes, they'll come at any cost, so let's call forth most of America's heroes.

'You will be the sacrifices to summon them.'

At that moment.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Of course."

"We need to push through all at once. Absolutely."

"Let's go."

Their expressions looked determined.

Dorothy quietly stepped forward.

It was utterly laughable that mere Middle Realm heroes were trying to stop her.

This world was one of traits.

She possessed the full power and knowledge of the White-Faced Golden Fur.

And having blossomed it into a trait, she was on a different level from average High Realmers.

She was momentarily in danger due to Han Seojin's strange magic.

But she recovered from that.

She raised her hand.

Five tails appeared behind Dorothy.

Each tail held immense magical power.

A High Realm mage.

Each tail held the mana equivalent to that of a High Realm mage.

Crackle, crackle.

Golden lightning began to flicker from the tails.

Holding immense magical power.

"Storm Surge."

Golden lightning gathered.

The magic surged rapidly, forming a storm of lightning.

"Heaven's Thunder. Piercing Flash."

Shin Yura stepped forward.

Blue lightning formed into the shape of a spear.

Swish!

The spear pierced through everything as it shot forward.

"What?!"

The blue flash pierced the golden thunder.

She hurriedly tried to block it with a shield.

'What?'

Her magical abilities were superior.

But the blue flash pierced through her golden thunder.

"What on earth did you do!?"

"Basic mana control."

"What…?"

Her words didn't make sense.

But she didn't have time to stay still.

A sense of unease had taken over.

"Six Paths One Gate."

A woman with black ponytail appeared in front of her.

Green eyes stared directly at her.

Boom!!

The form of Asura appeared behind her.

Six sharp swords sliced towards her.

'Dangerous…!'

She felt the danger coming instinctively.

Clang.

The six swords poured down at once.

Each sword contained different styles.

They fell one by one.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!

Countless slashes poured down. Each one was dangerous.

'These guys.'

They weren't typical students.

She felt it from the previous magic—they might all be equal to or greater than her.

'How did such beings come together at once?'

Dorothy bit her lip.

Perhaps she had to use the mirror here and now.

No, she decided she would use it.

At the moment she made up her mind, a quiet voice echoed.

"Emperor Sword Form."

Boom.

Her whole body was pressured.

It felt like gravity was focused on her. Dorothy tried to reach for the mirror.

"You, you're too simple."

She saw a woman who had approached before she knew it.

A woman with crimson hair.

Her sword was raised.

It was as if a cluster of stars was fully contained in the sword.

"Meteor Sword."

Flash!

Light burst forth. The sword, which even Han Seojin couldn't take lightly, extended like a meteor.

Crack.

It shattered the shield she had set up in advance.

"Aren't you being too careless? For a mere High Realmer."

Another being arrived in the meantime.

A woman with short hair like a man but with an unmistakable chest.

She felt nothing from her.

But that made her dangerous.

It felt like the surrounding space was 'grasped' by something.

'This…'

No way.

"Bite down hard."

Bang!

A fist pierced the air and slammed into her face.

"Wow."

"How was it?"

"Like master, like disciple, your skill in hitting a woman's face resembles your master's…"

"…Don't praise me like that. I'm not there yet."

"It wasn't a compliment, though?"

Her head was dizzy.

Their attitude seemed relaxed.

Dorothy had to admit it.

They were beings she could only win against by using the mirror.

The problem was.

"I told you not to let her use the mirror, right?"

"I don't want to follow orders in a place like this, but, well...since Yoo Eunchae insisted so."

A man with narrow eyes stood before her.

A chilling woman's voice was heard from behind.

"Die."

"Please die."

Slash!

The narrow-eyed man swung a blood-red sword aura.

From behind, a shadow-like thing shredded her body.

"Argh!"

Splurt!

She spat blood. Their coordination was too fast.

It took only a moment.

She could've escaped and used the mirror if she had a little time.

'Where did the information…!'

But it leaked.

They knew she had the Mirror of Yata.

"You, you're the yokai who tried to destroy America."

A man with a sword looked sharply at her.

Seon Woohyeon raised his sword.

A black sword qi flickered.

It had the feeling of wanting to destroy everything.

'This is dangerous.'

It was dangerous.

She felt it instinctively.

"Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique."

Seon Woohyeon uttered the martial art his master taught him.

「This martial art, use it with caution. It is a forcibly created martial art. It aimed to break the sky but couldn't reach it.」

Crunch.

Her body was pressured.

Just using it brought a power that could destroy the user.

But it was created to face a tier above one's own, to destroy everything.

「And if you ever recognize this martial art or they ask about a being with blue eyes, tell them immediately. The Blue-Eyed Martial Emperor is here.」

He recalled his master's words and aimed the sword.

"Die."

The killing intent amplified, and the black sword qi pierced Dorothy's body.

She twisted her body to avoid a fatal blow, but.

Her lower body was completely blown away.

And then, a girl with green hair and eyes suddenly appeared from behind.

"The finish is sloppy."

Yoo Seolrang watched everything calmly.

"Ah."

The moment Dorothy saw Yoo Seolrang, her eyes lost their light.

For a moment.

She thought she might be able to take out the mirror thanks to the man who knocked her away.

But as if to tell her not to think such thoughts, a blue wind wrapped around her.

"To be defeated by mere children like this…"

"Isn't that a rather clichéd line?"

Slice.

A light, cutting sound whistled.

Dorothy's head flew through the sky.

Thud.

And it hit the wall.

"Did we get her!?"

"Hey, don't say things like that!"

At someone's voice, Yoo Eunchae shouted angrily.

Are they crazy?

Why are they invoking a revival spell?

Yoo Eunchae looked at Dorothy nervously.

She had awakened the White-Faced Golden Fur, but it had led to her destruction.

But even after a moment passed, Dorothy did not revive.

"…So, is it over?"

Yoo Eunchae looked up at the sky.

If her master, Han Seojin, saw this, he would think she had grown.

'…Master, this is my level.'

Yoo Eunchae, thinking that far, tried to let the students rest.

In the end, everyone had to work together, but some students from the Holy Empire Academy had overexerted themselves to get here.

It felt a bit uneasy.

'These macho types won't care about that.'

Maybe because the tension had eased a bit.

She wanted to sit down anywhere.

"Is everyone safe!"

At the same time, a different voice was heard from outside.

A man in armor with a cheerful face.

It was Zeronis.

'Wow, finally here.'

She couldn't help but laugh.

One of her favorite characters, Zeronis.

She liked him because he was a good person.

He was a follower of Thor and valued human life.

High Realm knights and Middle Realm heroes flocked in.

'This is really the end.'

Thud.

As she sat down.

Chill.

All her senses warned her.

It was dangerous.

She was close to death.

And there was something here.

And it was something they couldn't win against no matter what they did.

Everyone present felt that fact.

「Hahaha.」

At some point, he was sitting.

A man was on a rock.

He wore a mask. Yet, everyone knew he was grinning widely.

'Why…'

Yoo Eunchae was shocked internally.

That being shouldn't be here.

Because he should be fighting the three Dukes of the Empire: Duke of the Heavenly Sword, Duke of the Bloodbath, and Duke of the Flaming Thunder.

「Hah! Hahaha! This is ridiculous! Is this the best card you had!」

He wasn't looking at them.

He was just looking up at the sky.

「The attempt wasn't bad. But you don't understand the meaning of regression. You don't understand the name embedded in possession!」

「Observation means we can also be observed!」

「Did you think you could change the future with mere beings like these?」

「Did you think you could change predetermined fate with mere beings like these?」

The man laughed.

He laughed brightly.

He didn't expect such foolishness.

「Then you are mistaken. We have experienced all of it. We always meticulously plan. We weave all of it into fate.」

「Only two have escaped that fate.」

「The Master of the Purple Tower.」

「And the Blue-Eyed Martial Emperor.」

Only those two have escaped the fate we determined.

And these are supposed to be our competitors?

He couldn't help but laugh.

The so-called Celestial Gods prepared this pitiful setup.

「It's too laughable. That they prepared this without knowing what the turning point was.」

The man laughed in disbelief.

「Well, it doesn't matter. Predetermined fate won't change anyway.」

Crack.

Dorothy's body, which was embedded in the ground, regenerated as if time rewounded.

「From now on, Dorothy. I appoint you my Apostle, an Apostle of the Immortal Demon King.」

Crack, crack.

Dorothy's body started to return.

Her severed neck was reattached to her torso.

Her completely blown-away lower body began to wriggle and regenerate.

"Gasp, gasp."

Dorothy revived.

「Use it. And take your revenge as you please.」

In the worst form.

"Th-thank you, Immortal Demon King."

Dorothy raised the mirror.

A light emitted from the silver mirror.

「This humiliation, I will repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!」

White-Faced Golden Fur descended into reality.

"…"

I looked up at the sky.

Something twisted a moment ago.

'What is it.'

I've experienced this a few times.

When I was active as the Purple Tower Master, I was seized by a strange feeling.

A crisis where I might die.

At the time, the Purple Tower had gathered all the forces of the Empire.

And.

Just before attacking the Mount Hua Sect, after thoroughly crushing the righteous sects.

It was this kind of feeling…

"U-ugh…P-please spare me."

I was looking at a girl who was swollen and crying.

The reason her face was swollen was simple.

'I instinctively thought she'd feel good to hit…'

I thought there would be someone here.

'It's her.'

White hair and golden eyes.

Should I call it a doppelgänger?

But the power contained in her is quite formidable.

'So I captured her to find the main body.'

I was caught by her presence.

So, I thought I could quickly find the main body of White-Faced Golden Fur.

The connection was cut.

Her body started to fade.

"She's already dead?"

"Waaah! What is this! I haven't done anything yet…squeak!"

"Quiet."

When I slapped her cheek, she whimpered and covered her mouth.

I pondered.

'Did they say fate?'

I had heard such words before.

That everyone has a fate.

And to twist it, one must not have an ordinary fate.

'I guess going peacefully is out of the question.'

I might have to use it.

My Manifestation of Thoughts.

Thinking that, I moved my steps.

Boom!!

「This humiliation, I will repay it a hundredfold, a thousandfold!!」

And then.

The worst yokai that had destroyed two countries descended into the present world.

"Haha, hahaha! The main body has revived! You, the one with a handsome face and a violent temper! Kneel quickly, and I will make you my servant…squeak!"

"Quiet."

My disciples were in real danger.

Han Seojin quickly ran to the source.
