Chapter 77
Chapter 77 – Do Not Look Down on Me (1)
Yoo Eunchae thought calmly.
Plan A worked.
But the Immortal Demon King intervened.
Dorothy, who was supposed to die.
She came back to life.
‘This is.’
Not good.
Normally, if the Demon King intervened, the Celestial Gods should have moved.
But they didn’t move an inch.
As if they couldn’t intervene.
‘Causality.’
They were affected by causality.
The Demon Kings were a bit freer than them.
Because they were beings known as Demon Gods who regulate the law of causality.
Demon God of Fate.
That existence was excellent at reading causality.
‘Is it because Seon Woohyeon returned or because Yoo Eunchae possessed that body? No, maybe because Han Seojin was no longer Han Seojin?’
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter now.
It was something to find out later.
What mattered now was escaping from this place.
However, even that wasn’t easy.
Rumble.
Golden clouds swirled everywhere with tremendous magic imbued in them.
If an ordinary person saw that, they could go mad and die.
It contained such vicious and immense power.
‘This is.’
Her body was trembling.
And her mind was frozen.
It spread hostility into the atmosphere indiscriminately.
Even so, it felt like she was going to die.
She couldn’t breathe, and all the magic power was binding her.
‘This is…’
A transcendent.
Some say.
Although incomplete, it was an absolute being capable of killing lower beings just from the difference in level.
They are called transcendent because they have a level that cannot be opposed and have surpassed the laws and principles of the world.
Or.
They are said to have ascended to the heavens—.
Beings one cannot even dare to look up to.
In the game world, she thought it was an exaggeration.
It changed a bit when she saw the principal.
Yoo Eunchae had never experienced the power of a transcendent.
“Ugh…”
‘I’m going to die.’
‘I’ll die here today.’
Without doing anything.
‘If it was going to be like this, I should have at least dated a guy.’
Her previous life flashed before her.
Admiring one person and wanting to be like them, she only played games.
Slap.
Yoo Eunchae slapped her cheek with her palm.
She couldn’t just stand here stupidly.
She had to at least save the others.
‘And it’s not a complete transcendent.’
White-Faced Golden Fur wasn’t a complete transcendent.
She was only at the threshold, not quite complete.
「I will devour all of you!!」
The golden fox, White-Faced Golden Fur, revealed a ferocious killing intent.
‘It’s okay.’
There was still another way.
Plan A failed.
But in case something went wrong, they had another plan prepared.
Plan B.
A plan was prepared just in case.
She prepared thoroughly.
‘Though it cost me a fortune.’
Just once.
It was something that could save their lives, but time was needed.
Someone had to step forward and make the sacrifice.
They had to confront that monster and buy time.
‘… Is there such a person?’
There was someone who came to mind.
Rather than stalling, that person would punch that fox in the face.
He was that kind of person.
But Han Seojin wasn’t here now.
‘Wait.’
There was another person who could fight—a man receiving the effect of the Mirror of Yata.
Step.
His long, black coat fluttering, the man walked forward, holding a black sword and a blood-red sword.
‘Ah.’
A man who meets all the conditions.
The Mirror of Yata.
It has the power to bring forth the peak of one’s prime.
It brought forth White-Faced Golden Fur’s past life.
It also brought another person on our side.
‘Seon Woohyeon.’
The regressor stepped into time and reclaimed past glory.
Power surged through his body.
‘How long has it been?’
He wanted to reclaim this power, but until now, it was difficult.
“Ah, it’s been a while.”
This cold and heavy sensation.
However.
The opponent was a transcendent.
Although not a complete transcendent, she was an existence close to completion.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Seon Woohyeon closed his eyes.
The opponent was an incomplete transcendent.
He could compete.
[Unique Trait, Hero’s Banner Activated.]
[Trait, Master of Close Combat…]
[Trait, One-on-One Duel…]
[Trait, Flashing Thunder..]
[Trait, Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique…]
Various notifications popped up.
Rumble.
The swords in both of his hands were enveloped in black light.
The surrounding space was distorted.
The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique he barely used till now.
Even White-Faced Golden Fur would find it hard to handle with his full power imbued.
Slash.
A black sword qi poured out as if it would cut through the sky.
“Watch carefully! And don’t tell anyone!!”
It was a dangerous martial art.
A power that can kill even gods.
Woohyeon’s ultimate move.
The reason those in the heavens chose him as a regressor.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
Great Wave Slash.
The black sword qi stretched out long.
Despite being a skill of the High Realm, it wasn’t considered a sword qi.
But instinctively, you could tell.
It was a power that condensed sword qi.
A true transcendent would block this with a wall.
‘But she’s not a transcendent.’
White-Faced Golden Fur had such a legacy.
A being forced into the realm of transcendence.
Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique.
White-Faced Golden Fur’s countermeasure was simple.
A white and delicate hand.
She reached out.
Crash!!!
The surrounding space seemed to shake.
But it did not cause any real damage.
A thin line was drawn on her palm, and a bit of blood came out, that’s all.
“…What?”
“Both you and him are laughable. Did you really think you could leave here alive? Using space-shifting magic so openly.”
White-Faced Golden Fur looked at Yoo Eunchae.
Yoo Eunchae’s body trembled.
「And what you’re doing is just this kind of attack. No, calling it ‘just’ this is too much. It’s an excellent martial art, but where did you learn it?」
“How, how…”
「Oh, did you really think you’d leave here alive? Did you think I hadn’t entered the Transcendent Realm?」
White-Faced Golden Fur smiled brightly.
「When did you start to think I wasn’t a transcendent?」
The Mirror of Yata.
Originally, she would not have reached the Transcendent Realm.
But this time was different.
The Immortal Demon King.
Eunchae didn’t know what he did.
But the White-Faced Golden Fur had entered the realm of a complete transcendent.
Crunch.
Golden clouds enveloped her.
White-Faced Golden Fur.
The golden fox yokai.
She lightly waved her hand.
Boom!!
Seon Woohyeon’s body was slammed vertically down.
“Ugh!!”
「Earlier, you said to die, right? Don’t worry. I’m quite kind.」
The fox’s eyes curved into crescents.
She looked down at Seon Woohyeon with eyes full of malice.
「I won’t kill you.」
Instead, I’ll give you something worse.
That’s how it sounded to Seon Woohyeon.
White-Faced Golden Fur quietly descended.
Seon Woohyeon.
She lightly grabbed his neck.
「What should I do to you?」
White-Faced Golden Fur looked at the wretches.
Those who dared to try to kill her.
She noticed that they couldn’t be killed easily.
‘Ah, that’s a good idea.’
Something quite fun came to mind.
The men will force themselves upon the women.
And the men by other men.
While creating a curse that rots their bodies.
And then.
‘Then…’
Thump.
She heard a heartbeat.
‘What is it.’
The sound of the heartbeat was particularly loud.
It’s not because of her excitement to avenge her first death.
For another reason.
Her body was trembling.
She couldn’t control her whole body.
As if facing a monster beyond imagination.
As if a prey was facing a predator.
The senses.
Commonly called the sixth sense.
A near-precognitive ability that comprehends the current situation and foresees the future.
That sense was loudly warning her.
To get away.
‘No.’
For a moment.
The warning disappeared.
But she couldn’t laugh.
It was as if it was telling her that no matter how much she struggled, death was certain.
What is this?
What on earth is here?
The Immortal Demon King had already hidden the causality created by the arrogant hypocrites called the Celestial Gods.
It had been forcibly overturned.
Staying here longer would allow them to intervene, so he vanished.
‘What is it.’
Thump thump.
Her heart pounded once again.
She turned her gaze and blinked.
“…”
A man in black martial arts attire appeared.
Exceptionally long, shaggy hair.
And quietly shining blue eyes.
One blink.
An existence that sneaked in, deceiving all her senses.
An existence that appeared suddenly like a phantom.
‘Who is it?’
She felt nothing.
That’s why it’s scary.
What kind of existence is it that she feels nothing?
“There was such a space.”
His voice quietly echoed all around. It was divine.
It felt as if only that existence was distinct in the world.
That’s why it’s terrifying.
Such a realm she had neither seen nor heard.
A sight as if all of nature was concentrated in one man.
“I can’t let this go. I can’t sacrifice Eternity.”
Everyone’s attention was now on the man.
Seon Woohyeon’s eyes trembled endlessly.
‘What is it.’
Heaven-Surrendering Martial Emperor.
Blue-Eyed Martial Emperor.
An existence with those two names.
It was his master.
But that existence was surprisingly similar to his master.
‘No.’
No.
The atmosphere is different.
That is not such an existence.
His master seemed infinitely strong and high.
That existence seemed to transcend even that.
“You, fox yokai.”
「Who, who are you!!」
“What a clichéd line.”
The man quietly answered.
He seemed gentle yet gave the impression that he wouldn’t bend against anything.
He seemed infinitely sharp.
And infinitely gentle.
「Do-don’t move!」
“If I move, you’ll kill him?”
「Y-yes!」
Such an existence wouldn’t care about the life of this mere human.
Clinging to a rotten lifeline, White-Faced Golden Fur shouted.
“That’s a bit troublesome. I haven’t finished teaching him. He may lack talent, but he’s still my disciple.”
“D-disciple…? N-no way….”
“Well, not that you could harm him.”
The man’s quiet voice.
The Great Shift Between Heaven and Earth.
「Huh?」
Immediately, the world turned upside down.
