Chapter 284: Yaksha (夜叉) (4)
[Twofold unique abilities fuse!]
[Threefold unique abilities fuse!]
Multifusion (多衆融合).
Attempting different methods of combination based on four abilities.
Throbbing and heavy pain pierced through the body.
After battling fiercely and fusing several abilities at once, the body was overloaded.
For a moment, consciousness almost slipped away.
Damn it.
‘Focus… focus…’
Jinhyuk steadied himself.
Even as his brain sizzled and vision blurred, making a mistake here could cost his life.
The fusion of the unfinished Heukcheonmawanggong was underway.
And the abilities it was fusing with were all top-class as well.
The ‘Adaptive Ability Stats’ fought to soothe the pain and to overcome the widening gap and the challenges that became reality.
At that moment.
[You have successfully fused with ‘Tombgrave’s Leg (unmeasurable)’.]
The first ability signaled success.
A leg crafted by combining ‘Tombgrave’s Right Arm’ and ‘Heukcheonmawanggong.’
Fzzzt!
Three black blades emerged behind Jinhyuk’s calf.
The blades, vibrating at high speed, came with the capabilities of both acceleration and attack.
And then.
[You have successfully fused with ‘Sword Demon’s Thousand Spirit Step (劍魔千靈步)(unmeasurable)’.]
[The level of ‘Sword Demon Sovereign Step’ will be inherited directly.]
Another skill was formed soon after.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
This time, it was a result of fusing ‘Sword Demon Sovereign Step’ with ‘Heukcheonmawanggong’ and ‘Domain of Wind.’
Sword Demon’s Thousand Spirit Step.
A superior footwork technique to Sword Demon Sovereign Step, it was a martial art that normally required an extremely well-trained body to use.
The need for countless practices was self-explanatory.
No matter the experience from the past, it differed from previous fusions which could be used right after the fusion.
However.
With these legs…
‘It’s possible.’
They can be endured.
Or perhaps even more might be possible.
‘Huff.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes glinted sharply.
‘With these newly acquired legs…’ ƒгeewebnovёl.com
‘I will unleash a new ability.’
Thus.
At this very moment.
[Lv12 ‘Sword Demon’s Thousand Spirit Step (劍魔千靈步)’ is activated!]
Surpassing the realm of perception.
Supersonic speed,
Pop…
Jinhyuk disappeared.
***
Boom!
Yaksha’s head swung leftward.
“…!?”
Cruuunch!
Turning its head, a severe impact was felt on the left side of the torso.
The body’s balance crumbled around the waist.
“Guh!”
The physical impact wasn’t enormous.
But, the mental shock was incomparable to before.
‘I… missed his presence?’
This was unbelievable.
Despite pushing the sensory perception to the max, failing to even follow an afterimage was something impossible.
Vroom! Vroom!
Six arms swirled through the air.
However, they grasped nothing.
Pop… pop. Tss.
Looking back, he is ahead.
Bang!
Boom!
Looking forward, he is behind.
At best, they could only gauge an approximate location using the remnants of qi, but pinpointing the exact spot was out of the question.
It was like wandering in a dense fog.
Crack!
Impossible.
There’s no way they couldn’t catch a being while using the extraordinary powers…
“I refuse to believe this!”
[Yaksha activates extraordinary powers (怪力亂神) ‘Wild Dance of the Wilderness Cannon (舞燈野砲)’.]
Blue lights pulsed from the six arms before setting ablaze everything in sight.
Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom!
The terrain changed.
From the scorched red surface, hot air rose.
The bombardment was indiscriminate and fierce.
‘At least this way, I can gauge its position.’
Yaksha’s eyes widened.
Just then.
Finally, something entered the field of vision.
Found it.
Just 10 meters in front.
At this distance…
The six arms converged at one point.
Six streams of light swirled straight to shred Jinhyuk.
But amidst the storm raging madly…
…a path opened.
Jinhyuk, dodging the light beams in a blink, closed the gap right up to Yaksha’s nose.
A dark moon materialized on the ‘Fang’ held in his left hand.
An intense crescent moon that seemed to swallow everything.
“The real power of extraordinary strength isn’t at a distance. Don’t forget the essence of your abilities just because you’re impatient.”
“You dare lecture me on my abilities, you little insect? What do you know!”
Well.
“Prove me wrong after you’ve reached the peak of the tower at least once.”
“What?”
The question didn’t last long.
[The ‘Black Moon Night’ covers the sky.]
Sssshk!
A red line was drawn across Yaksha’s skin.
On top of that.
Pop.
Jinhyuk’s left hand touched it.
“Now, fall.”
Heavenly Killing Penetrating Fist.
Twisting the insides once again that were already mangled by the blood needle penetrating fist.
Kaboooom!
Yaksha’s back arched like a shrimp and a gigantic wave erupted.
Three trails of the sonic boom drew circles all the way to the ceiling.
“Cough! Gah…ugh…,”
Blood surged from Yaksha’s mouth.
The end was not here yet.
The black blades formed on Jinhyuk’s legs relentlessly diced through Yaksha’s body.
Crash!
Crunch, crackle!
Red lines were drawn all over.
Although both hands tried to protect the vital points, Jinhyuk continued to move and swung his legs.
“*Pant*… *Pant*.”
Yaksha staggered back, creating distance.
The wounds rapidly healed.
However, this time it seemed too strenuous, as Yaksha’s body noticeably swayed.
“How could I… bleed from a bug like this? Damn. Damn. Dammmnnn!”
The vigor weakened.
The domineering spirit also waned.
And then.
“Aaaargh!”
Suddenly, Yaksha grabbed its head.
***
“Barely made it.”
“Lucky us. Thanks to that guy weakening Yaksha for us, though.”
Dokgoryong and Chae Hong-ah spoke up.
Both held blue flames in their hands, now colored purple.
A color change indicated successful brainwashing.
“All of the high-class goblins have been killed.”
Jinhyuk turned around.
Blood dripped from the tip of Chae Hong-ah’s spear.
To have killed them all quietly was truly a befitting skill of the Martial World’s number one spear.
“Just six and they think they can take us two down. Funny. Still, you were useful. A fight with you drained Yaksha much more than starving it for years. I should at least thank you before you die.”
“Is thanking someone now synonymous with killing? No matter how dangerous the world has become, that’s a bit harsh…”
“Heh, it’s all for the greater cause. Die happily.”
Dokgoryong infused more internal energy into the goblin fire.
Whoosh!
The flames turned a deeper shade of color.
“Aaaah!”
Yaksha’s pupils rolled back.
Consciousness started fading completely.
They waited just for this moment.
All the pieces perfectly fell into place. The moment they secured the ultimate card.
“Now, time for the test.”
Dokgoryong flicked his finger.
“Strike.”
“Kyaaaa!”
Boom!
Yaksha charged forward.
Being brainwashed simplified the attack patterns.
Direct attacks were fast, but no longer threatening.
However, different from before.
Bang!
“…Huh!”
With minimal movements, Jinhyuk tried evading Yaksha’s arm but had to abruptly change direction.
The red wave pierced the air.
It was Chae Hong-ah.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The left hand holding the spear’s tip decided its trajectory, while the right hand spinning the back end maximized acceleration.
‘Like a bullet.’
No, bullets are just chunks of iron when they run out of rounds in the magazine.
This, however, was like a gun with infinite bullets.
Additionally, the bloody poison exhaled by Dokgoryong now pricked at the nostrils.
“No escape shall be allowed.”
Dokgoryong ordered the nearby leader of the Noryeong Group.
After dealing with the devils, they regrouped here, numbering twenty-seven.
All composed of elite individuals above the peak level.
“Don’t worry, sir. I’ll make sure not even an ant can escape.”
To fight Yaksha along with two of the top ten experts, and the entirety of the Noryeong Group…
It was impossible.
There was no chance of winning.
Entirely surrounded and slowly wearied, it would only lead to death.
But even in such a hopeless situation, devoid of the slightest glimmer of hope.
Jinhyuk’s expression showed no sign of panic or fear.
It made sense.
“You must be waiting for me to drain Yaksha’s energy, but I have also been seeking to bide as much time as possible.”
“What do you mean?”
“Our disciples may not know much, but their loyalty is unshakable.”
It was about time.
If he dragged this out long enough, even if the pathways were well sealed, enough time would have passed to break through.
To prove his point.
“Here we goooo!”
A beam of light pierced through the wall created by magic.
A breath… no.
A composite skill combined with breath, Heukcheonmawanggong, and even Blood Lord.
Plunk.
Amidst the haze of dust, familiar voices could be heard.
“The sect was so noisy that I tossed everything aside to come here. So this happened. You planned to kill my disciple from behind and awaken Yaksha?”
Amhwang let out an irritated sigh.
“U-Unbeatable Law!?”
“At this of all times…”
Dokgoryong and Chae Hong-ah’s faces tensed up.
They faced the very last person they wished to encounter.
They had sealed this place off to avoid this situation at all costs.
They never imagined the powerful magical barrier could be breached this swiftly.
And beside Amhwang.
“How dare… a human try to harm what is mine?”
“To even attempt to kill our lord. Both of you will be killed.”
Ellis and Wolyeong appeared.
They, in particular, exuded a vicious killing intent all over their bodies due to their rage.
“Our incredible jerk of a master… What have you done to our precious master!”
“What a waste, we should have finished the job more thoroughly… Ahem! Let’s save our master!”
“Everyone, be quiet. It’s giving me a headache.”
The castle-bound ghosts raised their voices together.
Good.
This turned the table completely.
The only lingering concern was the energy flowing from Yaksha’s body…
As the goblin fire completely dominated the consciousness, a completely different aura shimmered than before.
‘That energy… I’ve felt this before.’
Where was it?
Definitely, it was a familiar sensation…
Like a puzzle, tantalizingly close to completion yet not fitting.
Contemplating this, Jinhyuk soon shook his head clear.
Handle the most important matters first.
“Ellis.”
“Yeah.”
“Take Goguma and the spirits to handle the rest. The Noryeong Group leader I can ignore, but those two must be dealt with without dropping your guard.”
“I was planning to smash them to pieces anyway. I got enough trouble getting here.”
Clomp.
As Ellis walked, her outfit began to change completely.
The traditional martial world attire vanished and was replaced by a short skirt and long black gloves going up to the wrists.
Her long silver hair was also tied back with a rune-inscribed ribbon.
An outfit focused on close combat.
Although not her unique sacred spear at full power, a palpable magic emanated from her.
[Ellis summons the ‘Blood Spear’.]
A red spear made of blood similar to Chae Hong-ah’s materialized.
“I’ll sweep them all by myself. You take care of the flies trying to escape.”
Ellis tossed her long tied-up hair over her shoulder.
“Understood.”
Wolyeong melded into the shadows.
Goguma and the spirits also took their positions.
“Don’t be afraid and kill them all! If they escape, Unbeatable Law will kill us first.”
Along with Dokgoryong’s outcry that was close to a scream…
Boom!
Bang!
The battles began simultaneously.
