Episode 457
“Oh, that guy is so impatient. He’s already used up his time.”
“Is there something?”
Choi Kyung-hoon frowned slightly as he sensed the power coming from the battlefield from afar.
For a moment, I frowned at the feeling of having all the delicious food I had been saving taken away from me.
He slightly shook his head at Hendrick’s question, which was asked calmly while looking at him.
“No, nothing. Let’s just do our own thing.”
“It’s bland.”
-Hendrick, here you come.
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue that had been wrapped around Hendrick’s neck like a scarf warned him.
The two people who had already felt it moved like lightning and blocked the attack that came flying at them.
Kwaaaaang!
The power of the bomb, which was made up of a huge amount of magic condensed to the size of a fist, was powerful.
The commander-in-chief of the Demon Tribe, Mektak.
The surrounding ground shook and shook as if an earthquake had occurred due to the magic bomb he threw.
But unfortunately, he was not able to inflict even a single blemish on the three beings that were his targets.
-Huh, do you think a dirty devil’s seed could cause any harm to Hendrick?
“… … The lizard that fell from the sky is so proud.”
-It’s not a lizard! It’s a dragon, you idiot!
The main reason was the magic of the blue that was revealed and was fighting with the Mektak.
The translucent membrane that covered Choi Kyung-hoon and Hendrick was only slightly less powerful than Charigos, the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Clan, but it was surprisingly powerful considering that it had not even been a year since his resurrection.
Of course, Mektak, who had no way of knowing that, felt the blood rising from inside him, which had been distorted by the collision with Jinhyeok, and he took a stance.
“If it doesn’t work with one hit, just beat him dozens or hundreds of times.”
Puhwaaaaak!
He clenched his fists and spread his legs shoulder-width apart, and a massive amount of magical energy burst out from his entire body, enveloping his body and giving him the power to destroy anything.
Mektak’s fist, which had been running forward with him, struck the translucent membrane protecting the two without hesitation.
Boom, bang, bang! Kwaang! Boom, bang!
The result of a fist extending so fast that it is invisible, and the immense power contained in that fist being unleashed without rest.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
-… … How ignorant!
The Blue’s absolute defensive magic began to crack.
It was said to be an absolute defense, but the word absolute meant nothing in the face of a stronger force.
Although he said he was ignorant, he knew Cheongdo well.
There is no better way to break down your own defenses.
That’s why I was gritting my teeth and trying to restore my defenses.
“Let down your guard.”
-huh?
“Let down your guard. I can block it.”
-… … Yeah, I understand.
As Choi Kyung-hoon took a step forward and cleared his throat with a thud, Cheong unconsciously stopped what she was trying to recover and released her defensive magic.
Thud!
Mektak, who had been striking the empty air, let out a sly laugh.
“Yeah, it would be better to give up like that… … .”
“What are you talking about, you idiot?”
“… … !”
Pfft!
As soon as the shield disappeared, Mektak flinched at Kyunghoon’s sharp jab that jumped out, and quickly dodged the attack by leaning back.
Mektak, who saw the fist that passed before his eyes hit the air, immediately threw his body backwards as if he was bouncing and kicked.
Thud!
“You call that a kick?”
“… … !”
It was a sharp kick.
The tip of the kick, which flew at high speed while bouncing around, was aimed precisely at the jaw, and the enormous power contained in it was more than enough to not only break the jaw but also pierce it through.
The only problem was that the opponent was a veteran who was worn down by that type of attack.
Clearly, Choi Kyung-hoon is weaker, slower, and more fragile than Mektak.
However, his trained body was clearly strong, and he had learned how to use various energies efficiently and effectively.
The method of internal energy.
The ability of ‘Murim’ located within the Mu Empire located from the 200th to 300th floors.
And among them, Kyung-Hoon, who had learned the ‘Mu-Hwang-Shingong’, the divine art of Emperor Mu-Hwang Tess, which was one level higher than the three divine arts called ‘Cheon-Ma-Shingong’, ‘Yeok-Cheon-Hyeol-Ma-Shingong’, and ‘Mu-Geuk-Shingong’, was no different from Mek-Tak.
Especially, Mektak, whose insides had been destroyed by Jinhyeok, was even less able to keep track of Kyunghoon’s movements.
Phew! Kwaaaaang!
Kyung-Hoon, who had stuck the Mektak into the floor while holding onto his leg, quickly used the Mu-Hwang-Singong to convert his mana into internal energy.
Kyunghoon’s eyes turned red as he absorbed and replaced all the mana in the air, gaining internal energy that was almost twice as much as the mana he had before.
“Fighting God.”
“… … Huh!”
Originally, it was a technique created based on the internal energy method of Choi Kyung-hoon.
It is no exaggeration to say that Choi Kyung-hoon’s style, which lacks the internal energy method, is half-baked.
As soon as Kyung-Hoon pulled out his powerful technique called Naegongsimbeop, the air around him began to distort.

——————
Wuhuang Shengong.
A divine skill created by Emperor Mu himself, which elevated him to the position of Transcendent.
The waterfall-like internal energy flowing through Kyunghoon’s entire body condenses into a red flame and heads towards the Mektak stuck in the ground.
“Chapter 1 of The Untamed – Taking Power.”
“… … !!!”
Kwaaaaang!
Same technology, but different fuel used.
If Choi Kyung-hoon’s style is something that only Kyung-hoon has created, then Moo-hwang’s style is the pinnacle of Moo, incorporating everything he has learned from Tess.
The slam of the hammer into the ground, as if driving it straight down, splits the earth in two.
In the face of the power of technology that allowed human flesh to transcend the limits of its race, Mektak barely managed to roll to the side to avoid a direct hit.
“… … Khuuuk!”
“Tsk, I guess it still doesn’t suit me.”
The Muhwangryu was created to resemble Tess, but to surpass her.
Of course, it was difficult for Kyung-Hoon, who was not yet ready or capable of surpassing Tess, to fully display it.
Thanks to that, Mektak’s life was saved, and he let out a sigh of relief, but he broke out in a cold sweat as he recalled what he had just seen.
‘Crazy. That’s all a human can do? Even if you’re the disciple of Emperor Wu, that’s out of the norm!’
Emperor Wu.
A name that anyone who has set foot on the tower cannot help but know, even if they want to.
It was no different even if they were the Four Emperors.
Floors 200 to 300 are the Emperor’s domain.
There, even if they were the Four Emperors, they could not cause a commotion or cause a ruckus.
It was a natural thing.
The Emperor Mu is a being that even the emperors of the Four Emperors must bow their heads to.
But that only applied to Emperor Wu personally.
Just as people avoid shit not because they are scared of it, but because it is dirty, the fact that the Four Emperors do not touch Emperor Wu’s territory is not because they are scared of the beings within the territory, but because they avoid Emperor Wu.
But Choi Kyung-hoon was different.
‘… … If we face each other again in a few years when I’m fully recovered… … Will I be able to beat that guy one-on-one?’
It was creepy.
It was only a few years.
For the demons who have lived for a long time, time is like a fleeting moment.
However, Mektak was certain that in that brief moment, Choi Kyung-hoon would grow to a level that he would not even dare to do anything about.
‘That guy, this guy, and the guy with the dragon wrapped around his neck like a scarf. They’re all monsters.’
Jinhyuk also made a mess of himself.
Kyunghoon, who just opened his eyes wide.
Hendrick also watched as Kyunghoon resolved the situation on his own.
Mektak gritted his teeth as he felt that there was not a single one of them who was not a monster.
‘You have to take at least one from this place. At least two. That way, the Four Emperors won’t be annihilated. No, if you want to keep the Demons from being annihilated, you have to do it unconditionally.’
It is taken for granted that the Four Emperors reigned supreme at the top of the tower, but it was not like that from the beginning.
They waged war, war, and more war against those who rejected and did not recognize them, exterminating them and rising to their current position.
Naturally, history repeats itself, and in the endless war that begins again, Mektak risked his life knowing that it might be them, not his opponents, who would be annihilated this time.
‘Great Maitreya, who scatters demons across the great heavens, lend me your strength.’
High heaven.
Beings who scatter evil without losing their true nature even in the place where the gods reside.
devil.
Among them, he focuses his will on the 72 demons, who can be considered high-ranking demons.
And there was someone who responded to Mektak’s will.
– Hehe, child. Are you ready to give me everything you have? To be my slave for a short time, for your people, for an endless eternity? Then I will give you strength.
‘… … .’
A voice that makes your brain melt just by listening to it.
As soon as Mektak heard that voice, he knew immediately who had responded to his wish.
‘Asmodeus, I give you my all.’
Asmodeus.
A demon ranked among the top 72 demons, and at the same time possessing the power of fascination that is unparalleled in its power.
If he gave his all to her or to any being that could be called her, a terrible life awaited him, but he had no more options.
-Hahaha, good. Good. I can finally get my revenge for yesterday. Let me borrow half for now.
‘As you wish.’
Kugugugugugugugugu-
As soon as he makes a decision, the atmosphere around Mektak changes.
Soon, the sky splits open and a huge pillar of darkness descends over Mektak’s head.
Kwaaaaang!
The huge pillar of darkness that fell is instantly sucked into Mektak, and soon a change occurs in Mektak.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
“Ugh, what is that?”
“… …Are you a devil?”
-Hendrick… … That’s unpleasant.
As they watched the changes in Mektak beyond the magical barrier that had been struck with the sudden change, they figured out what the change was and waited for the change to end.
“Haha. It’s been a while, Emperor Wu’s brat.”
“… …Asmodeus?”
“You were greatly hurt by your teacher back then… … Are you planning on calling him again this time?”
Half man, half woman.
Kyung-Hoon felt a familiar aura from Mektak, who appeared as half-man and half-woman, and immediately realized that it was Asmodeus, and his face hardened.
But that was only for a moment.
“No way. There’s no need for a master to beat up someone like you. The three of us here, including me, are enough.”
“… … I feel bad. Do I look that easy?”
Kugugugugugugu-
Anger at the appearance of being looked down on.
Asmodeus, who could manipulate the surrounding atmosphere as he pleased with just such emotional changes, was clearly a monster, but Kyung-Hoon, who was blocking him, did not show any sign of fear.
Kkuduk-
“This time, I’ll make it into a rice cake with my own hands.”
“… … If you can, try it. I’ll tear you to pieces and throw you in Tess’s face.”
Asmodeus grits his teeth as he watches Kyunghoon confidently step forward with his fist clenched.
“You said Asmodeus?”
“… … What are you?”
Asmodeus glared at Hendrick, who had never come forward before, when he called him.
Cheong flinched at the chilling gaze, but Hendrick paid no attention and calmly relayed the voice echoing in his head.
“Leviathan said so. Don’t even think about wagging your tail around Lucifer. You’ve already been beaten by a nine-tailed fox, so how dare you show off your power of charm?”
“… … This f*cking shit!”
Quagagagagagagagak!
Asmodeus glared at Hendrick with a distorted face like an evil spirit, at the reckless provocation that did not match his calm face. A wave of energy burst out and shook the surroundings.
However, Hendrick, who had lightly swung his Dragon’s Sword to cut down the wave, finished speaking with a calm expression.
“I can’t help it since you even threatened to put down the Seat of Jealousy if I lose to you.”
“… … Jealousy! You, you have passed the ordeal of jealousy!”
The confident appearance in front of him and the aura of jealousy emanating from him.
Asmodeus smiled bitterly as he noticed that Hendrik had passed the ordeal of jealousy, even appearing as a messenger who conveyed the words of Leviathan.
“Do you believe in the power of jealousy and bow down before me? How dare you, a young dragon who has barely lived a few decades… …!”
The power of jealousy.
The power to envy someone and make that power your own.
“If you were jealous of my power with that power, did you think you could defeat me? Nonsense! I will shatter your thoughts into pieces.”
That is why Asmodeus thought that Hendrik was ‘jealous’ of his power and was trying to use it to defeat him.
Actually, that was a given.
There was no one stronger than Asmodeus standing here right now, so it was natural to be ‘jealous’ of her power.
But contrary to her thoughts, the target of Hendrick’s ‘jealousy’ was not her.
“I didn’t challenge the ordeal to be jealous of the likes of you. I guess delusion is also a matter of course.”
“……what?”
“I have nothing more to say, so let’s end this. In order to go back to where I should be jealous, I need to get rid of you first.”
“This kid… … Can’t I even see him?”
Asmodeus, enraged that he was not the object of Hendrick’s ‘jealousy’, poured out his magic energy in anger, but Hendrick’s gaze did not reach her.
‘Cha Jin-hyeok.’
Hendrick, who had briefly watched Jinhyeok fighting Haniel from afar, began to vent the power of his boiling jealousy toward Asmodeus.
Hendrick.
His jealousy was directed not at Asmodeus, Lucifer, or Yahweh, but at Cha Jin-hyeok.
And his jealousy soon became his most powerful sword, turned against Asmodeus.
