Baal of the past.
Jinhyeok could not hide his surprise at the fact that the monster in front of him who had lost his senses was the Baal of the past.
‘Does it mean that only by losing one’s wit can one barely maintain one’s past self? No, in the end I couldn’t even maintain my appearance. How much of a monster must he be… … .’
The first thing that surprised me was that the being radiating monster-like force in front of me was the Baal of the past.
The second thing that surprised me was the doppelganger whose body was collapsing because it could not properly maintain even the remnants of the past.
A doppelganger that ate dozens or hundreds of climbers and did not experience any ups and downs while pretending to be them would have a hard time maintaining its body even after placing ‘restrictions’ on it.
‘Restraint’ is essentially a force that gives something away and gives you the power to match it.
One could easily guess how monstrous the Baal of the past must have been in that it was not enough to just copy the remnants of the past at the cost of Izzy, but was unable to even prevent its collapse.
‘At least I will become a full-fledged 600-story climber.’
A perfect 600-story climber who has overcome the wall of trials.
A level similar to the level Jinhyeok reached in the past.
However, the remnants of Baal before my eyes were clearly different from Jinhyeok of the past.
‘There is no reason, and the body is not whole. ‘If that’s the case, it’s worth a try.’
A body collapsing.
He has no sense of humor and can’t even speak properly.
The appearance of being no different from a wild monster gave Jinhyuk confidence.
of course-
[The pinnacle of all evil says he did something wrong.]
[The pinnacle of all evil begs the doppelganger’s core to run away, saying he will save it.]
Baal did not want Jinhyeok to confront his doppelganger.
The doppelganger and his cave, etc.
Just by sending messages without hesitation that convince us that Baal is deeply involved, we can get a rough idea of Baal’s current state.
Jinhyuk paused slightly at Baal’s circumstances.
The core of the doppelganger.
That is the reason why Jinhyuk is standing here now.
‘… … That’s clear. Baal, what on earth did you aim for by sending me here?’
Just by casually saying that he would give it to me, I could get a rough idea of how deeply Baal was involved in this matter.
And stepping back was also a good enough option.
Baal of the past.
No matter how much I applied the penalty, the momentum that reminded me of a fully intact 600-story climber made me shrug my shoulders.
Since Baal said he would also provide the core of the doppelganger, which was his original target, he would be able to fully proceed with the production of the weapon.
but-
“I’m not backing down.”
Jinhyuk did not back down.
I didn’t even have any intention of backing down.
[The pinnacle of all evil sighs.]
Perhaps Baal also knew.
Even though the words he says make Jinhyuk worry, the choice has already been decided.
Therefore, Baal had no choice but to nod his head at Jinhyeok’s stiff words.
“After this incident, you will have to tell me everything you can about what you are hiding.”
From Baal’s quest to the doppelganger’s core.
All of these were led by Baal.
He gave me a quest to obtain a recipe, and the main ingredient in the recipe happened to be the core of the doppelganger.
Furthermore, the doppelganger contained the image of Baal from the past.
The last one didn’t seem to be what Baal wanted or prepared, but at least the previous ones weren’t.
[The pinnacle of all evil answers that he understands.]
[He says he hopes the pinnacle of all evil is safe.]
[The pinnacle of all evil says that what he says is always valid.]
[The pinnacle of all evil closes its eyes with a sigh.]
In the end, Baal acknowledged his mistake and looked away.
Until the end, he did not back down from saying that he would give Jinhyeok the doppelganger’s core, as if he wanted him to escape.
Jinhyeok, who felt Baal’s gaze on him disappearing, looked at the monster in front of him with cold eyes.
“Krrrrr… … .”
“I knew wild animals were dangerous, but I’ve never seen one this dangerous.”
human shape.
In a way, the man resembled a demon, with a sturdy body, a thick-lined face, and two straight, strong horns on his forehead.
At first glance, the handsome man’s face looked completely different from the Baal that Jinhyeok had imagined so far, but he didn’t care.
Wow-
A tremendous amount of power shakes from the lightly clenched fist.
And while he was talking to Baal, the doppelganger, who had postponed the collapse of his body for a while, left the place.
Kwasik-
The bottom part of the area made up of spiritual power cracked, revealing the bottom of the cave.
It was ridiculous.
The original territory was like something that could not be destroyed by anything.
The shock wave generated by hitting each area was almost the only way to destroy the area.
At least that was Jinhyuk’s common sense.
However, Jinhyeok burst into laughter as he recalled the situation during the guild battle a few months ago.
“… … “Sandalphon easily destroyed Shane’s domain.”

It reminded me of the precedent in which Sandalphon, borrowing the body of Ashur Hum, destroyed Shain’s territory.
Jinhyeok was no longer surprised when he realized that gods and demons could do things as naturally as breathing that humans and climbers could not even think about.
And I didn’t even hesitate.
Sigh-
Two masks.
Although he had never thought about it, Jinhyuk was now wearing those two masks at the same time.
A goblin mask on top of a fox mask.
Although there was some hesitation, the abilities contained in the masks were still usable.
in other words-
“Battle foresight.”
This means that one can use the combat foresight while maintaining the body of a fox transformed by the power of the fox mask.
The world begins to move slowly.
The fox’s body was able to handle the power of battle foresight to some extent.
Jinhyeok’s eyes turned to the doppelganger after realizing that it was a lot less burdensome than the battle foresight he normally displays with his body.
As the doppelganger approached him with infinitely slow steps, Jinhyuk caught the doppelganger’s arm as he saw Baal’s appearance in the past.
[Choi Gyeong-Hoon Ryu Chapter 8 – Catching]
Twisting-
As if making a twist, he grabbed the doppelganger’s arm and twisted it, breaking the bones inside and tearing the skin, revealing the world.
Blood poured out like a fountain, but the doppelganger stretched out its healthy arm towards me without any sign of pain.
Sigh-
A sharp stab that cuts through the air and even the territory.
It was an incredibly precise and sharp attack that made it difficult to believe that it was a stab using a hand that was at most just a part of the body.
The appearance of wearing magical energy like a blade was a method of use and purity that the current Jinhyeok could not even dare to think about.
However, there was no reason why Jinhyeok could not stop it just because he was able to perfectly control demon energy and possess high purity demon energy.
[Choi Gyeonghun Ryu Chapter 6 – Sword]
Squeak!
The purple-black spiritual power that formed on the upright hand blade condensed and became a blade of spiritual power that could cut down the blade of magic energy.
When I gently cut the doppelganger’s arm like cutting tofu, the doppelganger’s arm fell to the floor with a simple snapping sound.
The demon energy that had been in my arm just moments ago was still clearly visible in my arm, and my arm was fluttering around like a live fish, but that only lasted for a moment.
He continued his next attack while keeping his eyes on the severed arm that was slowly hanging down.
[Choi Kyung Hoon Ryu Chapter 3 – Side Kick]
The outstretched leg struck the doppelganger’s side.
The leg that hit his side gently returned to its original position, and the next attack continued as naturally as water.
[Choi Kyung Hoon Ryu Chapter 5 – Back Kick]
The straight leg stabbed like a long spear into the stumbling doppelganger’s abdomen.
My sunken abdomen was like a balloon filled with water.
A balloon that feels like it’s about to burst, but doesn’t.
If it doesn’t explode, just stab it until it bursts.
[Choi Gyeonghun Ryu Chapter 4 – Round Kick]
Poseok-
With the sound of something breaking, the head of the doppelganger that touched the toes was crushed.
The flowing brain water soaked my shoes.
[Choi Gyeonghun Ryu Chapter 2 – Front kick]
The drooping head of the doppelganger.
To be precise, I kicked him from the bottom up toward his chin.
A perfectly placed kick helped my limp head see the sky.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable that my jaw would be shattered in the process.
Of course, the doppelganger did not stay still.
[Choi Kyeong-Hoon’s Chapter 9 – Becoming Strong]
thud-
The doppelganger’s attack hit my body with a heavy sound.
However, my body, which absorbed the spiritual power that filled the area like a sponge absorbing water, was stronger than steel.
I firmly blocked the doppelganger’s attack and placed both fists on my waist.
[Choi Gyeong-Hoon’s Chapter 1 – Taking on the regime]
Paang!
The tightly closed fist extended like a bullet from the starting line called the waist.
The bullet reached the doppelganger’s solar plexus in the blink of an eye.
Quad deuk-
With an eerie sound, the doppelganger’s solar plexus was shattered, and torn flesh and black blood were scattered around.
I could see the doppelganger’s heart pounding through the torn chest.
‘… … It’s nuclear.’
Even though it was his first time seeing it, Jinhyeok realized that it was the core of the doppelganger he was looking for and stretched out his hand.
Jinhyeok’s hand, which was stretched out precisely towards the core of the doppelganger, was even used to ‘Choi Kyeong-Hoon’s Chapter 8 – Grabbing’.
Jinhyeok’s hand, which was able to grab and grab anything without missing anything, displayed strange movements and moved towards the core of the doppelganger.
The core of a doppelganger is no different from a human heart.
If only the core, which was the source of all transformation and life activity and the basis of the weapons Jinhyuk would use in the future, was taken, this match would also come to an end.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
However, the doppelganger who took on the appearance of Baal from the past was also formidable.
Even though the head was broken and the core, which could be called the heart, was clearly exposed, the doppelganger was alive.
And as if that wasn’t enough, I was also recovering.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue as he saw the waves of skin covering his chest in an instant.
“… … Tsk, I guess they won’t give it to me easily.”
“Krrr… … .”
The doppelganger, which repaired all the damage it had inflicted in the blink of an eye and let out a beastly growl, seemed like an unkillable monster.
In fact, most climbers would have already rolled around on the ground during the doppelganger’s first attack and lost their lives during the second attack.
That was the full power of a 600-story climber, and it was the enormous and incomprehensible power of the Baal of the past.
Sigh!
The doppelganger, whose fingers were bent like Hojo, swung them roughly.
Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-
As Hojo moves, the area cracks and tears apart, and the cave landscape beyond appears within the area.
Jinhyeok flings himself backwards, biting his lip slightly at the destruction in an area he has already seen several times but is not familiar with.
Tadak-
The lightly stepped steps gently brought Jinhyeok to the end of the area with strange movements.
Evil- Saaaak- Sak-
The doppelganger, whose red, bloodshot eyes were slowly engulfed by black demon energy and turned into black eyes, chased after Jinhyeok and swung Hojo wildly.
Hojo, covered in black magic energy, tried to tear Jinhyuk apart with his territory, but he could not reach Jinhyuk.
Tuk-tuk-duk-duk-
The more excessive force was used, the more the doppelganger’s collapse accelerated.
The doppelganger, whether aware that he was being destroyed or not, became even more rough.
As he looked into the strong eyes of the bastard with gritted teeth, Jinhyuk realized that the moment to end it had come.
‘An ability that can only be used at this moment, filled with enormous spiritual power. At least I won’t be able to use it properly for some time… … It’s possible for now.’
A place where two areas with nearly infinite spiritual power overlap.
Although the color was different between purple and black purple, it was ultimately Jinhyeok’s spiritual power.
The only difference is between the past and the present.
Therefore, Jinhyeok opened his mouth as he felt that he was slowly approaching the end of the territory.
“One won (one won).”
“… … !”
He was already the second member.
As soon as he uttered the words, Jinhyeok’s body began to tremble even though his energies had not yet been unified.
But Jinhyuk didn’t care.
Even the doppelganger was showing his surprise through the little remaining Izzy, but Jinhyuk gritted his teeth.
Rather, it was real from now on.
The enemy-
“… … “Crrrrr.”
Since I was ‘Cha Jin-hyuk’, I also knew the doppelgänger well.
Excluding Jinhyuk, he was a doppelganger who knew more about Jinhyuk than anyone else, so his caution was natural.
It’s time to stop the wave of attacks and be wary of whether Jinhyeok will choose demonic power or divine power.
“The same caution makes your death a little faster.”
Jinhyuk said quietly that the doppelganger should not have been on guard.
No, that wasn’t a saying, it was a ‘sentence’.
A sentence announcing the death of the doppelganger.
At the same time, Jinhyuk announced his choice.
“Spiritual power.”
[…] … ERROR. A member must choose between magic power and divine power.]
The system seemed to be confused by Jinhyuk’s choice and repeatedly displayed error windows.
As the system says, each member is inherently linked with a half-demon and has the power to select one of two energies and unify them into one energy.
The third energy, spiritual power, was a power that was one step removed from the power of such a member.
But Jinhyeok went ahead with it.
“Is there a climber in the world who only moves as prescribed? “Just shut up and do it.”
[…] … Characteristics, one won (一元) have changed.]
Change of one won (一元).
Normally, he would have checked it right away, but as soon as he saw the message window, Jinhyuk forgot everything and focused his mind.
The abundant spiritual powers contained in the realm.
Gently guide it towards you.
At the same time, changes also occur inside the body.
Tsutsutsutsu-
Magi and divine power.
Those forces that could never be mixed merged into one and eventually seeped into the spiritual power of the realm and Jinhyeok’s spiritual power.
For the current Jinhyeok, it was almost impossible to dare to maintain even the remaining energy except for one huge power, so it was inevitable.
Because it was difficult to focus only on spiritual power, Jinhyeok smiled softly as he felt the magical energy and divine power, which had a truly rotten exchange ratio, being replaced by spiritual power.
In the first place, the reason why magical energy and sacred power were replaced with spiritual power was simply to prevent divine power and magical energy from running away due to the powerful spiritual power.
And Jinhyeok, who had absorbed all the spiritual power in the realm, his own spiritual power, and even the realm where the demonic and sacred power had been replaced, became spiritual power itself.
“… … “Spiritual body.”
Your newly created ‘body’ is the same as your mana body or half-demon, but it is a completely different body.
Jinhyuk felt an overwhelming sense of elation in his new body, which could not even be compared to those two, and the moment when everything that made up his entire body was made up of spiritual power, he felt that he was moving one step higher.
But Jinhyeok knew well that now was not the time to be intoxicated with such excitement.
“It’s time to end it.”
That’s why Jinhyuk put an end to all of this.
“… … .”
Rattling-
The doppelganger could not say anything other than trembling like an aspen in a voice filled with pain and drowsiness.
A being that you copied.
A being that had the same appearance as the being that created it in the distant past, but had a different atmosphere.
The doppelganger didn’t know why he came to mind at this moment.
No, at some point he knew.
Why does Jinhyuk in front of me overlap with the being who copied and stored the remnants of Baal in himself in the distant past?
‘… … A monster that cannot be dealt with.’
When the doppelganger is nothing more than a small creature that does not have proper intelligence and eats and copies everything it sees in front of it.
The being defeated the doppelganger with just ‘force’.
Jinhyuk was definitely different from that being, but he was not different from him to the extent of making him think, ‘I can’t compete with him.’
And although the past existence saved the doppelganger, it was unfortunate for the doppelganger that Jinhyeok had no intention of saving the doppelganger.
“Spiritual beast, greed.”
Jinhyuk’s drowsy voice hits the eardrums of the doppelganger, who has completely regained his senses.
A being that can be called a demonic beast, greed.
He appeared in front of the doppelganger under Jinhyeok’s orders in a unique form with a mixture of purple and purple spiritual powers.
A feeling of intimidation on a different level than before.
Not only is it so huge that it seems to fill the messed up area, but its intimidating presence is enough to fill the area.
“Eat it up.”
-Krrrralalak!
Such a being rushed towards the doppelganger with its mouth wide open.
The undefeated monster, the doppelganger.
Although he copied a being that exceeded what was given to me, he was cruelly devoured by overwhelming spiritual power.
Jeok- Jeok- Jeok- Jeok-!
An area where the enormous spiritual power that would have filled the size of a cave has been emptied into nothing but a shell, and inside the Manlyeongchungcheo (萬靈充處), only the sound of greed enjoying feasting fills the place where the spiritual power has been emptied into emptiness. It was just filling up.
