Episode 69. Heavenly Murder
-Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
My heart started beating so hard I could hear it in my ears.
The strength in his hand holding the sword did not leave him.
Time completely stopped.
It was a different feeling from when I fought No. 71 in the past.
-Thump. Thump.. Thump… Thump…. Thump… Thump……
My heartbeat slowly began to slow down.
Everything stopped as if my bodily functions were at a standstill, and gradually even the sound of my heart could not be heard.
‘Your Majesty….. What the….. is this.’
I already knew that.
Unlike other abilities, “Sword Truth” always has the word (incomplete) attached whenever it is used.
I always found it strange because these abilities had different reactions from the growth abilities.
‘…..Then no way.’
Heavenly death
It was the sword that killed the sky, and the last image of Alice that I remember.
From ancient times, the sky was a god, and was called heaven because it could not be reached.
But Alice felt that reaching the sky was not enough to kill the dragon known as the Demigod.
That was the sword that killed the heavens.
‘Is that possible?’
Honestly, I thought that freezing time would be difficult even for the King of Heroes.
No, to be exact, I was just thinking that way.
Because I cannot interfere with the reality of this world, I have frozen it under the condition that all the side effects of time are imposed on my body.
Everything before my eyes began to feel unfamiliar.
The sight of the knights, unable to do anything and facing a life-or-death situation due to the ice summoned by Sylvia, and Baekgol running away to hide from them felt unfamiliar.
-Shoooooooooo!
I felt like I was gradually becoming smaller in an unfamiliar space.
‘This……’
It was the same feeling I had seen in the memories of Astel, who was called the hero of nature and the first druid.
‘Imaginary world…..!’
The great ability to summon opponents into a world created in one’s own imagination and repel enemies began to unfold once again.
-Slurp…
Smoke began to gather before my still eyes and slowly began to transform into a human figure.
“……”
The smoke that had turned into a human slowly opened its eyes.
Smoke, with her blue eyes flashing, had an appearance that made her look a little older than the Alice I had seen in my memories.
“He’s a funny guy.”
These were the first words of Alice that appeared in the records engraved within the hero’s abilities.
***
“I hate dragons.”
The first words out of Alice’s mouth were that she hated dragons.
“Dragon is a guardian who values the balance of the universe.”
Ruler of Mana, pinnacle of the race, being of truth, freedom of attributes, arrogant clan.
Although it has many nicknames, the dragon’s true nickname is the Guardian of Balance.
“Everything that happens in the universe. It’s the dragon’s original job to harmonize the balance of that. That’s how it was in the beginning.”
Balancing things out.
There were countless meanings hidden within it.
“But God was born lazy.”
He created but did not manage.
The creatures that were inevitably created began to manage the world instead.
“When the beings who created began to reveal their power, the being called God was disgusted. So they repeated the cycle of destruction again and again.”
The faster the creatures they created evolved, grew, and escaped their control, the more the gods frowned.
That is why the universe was created over and over again through repeated destruction and creation.
“The being that was created to prevent that was the dragon.”
The dragon was the one who was created to prevent the tyranny of such gods.
“But dragons are also demigods. Beings called gods were annoying. And they killed and destroyed everything that did not go according to their will.”
That’s why Alice hated them.

They lost all their loved ones to the gods, and the dragons who were supposed to suppress the gods instead sided with the gods and destroyed everything.
“Mangkeom (萬劍) is just a number. I learned the Infinite Sword, and created the Infinite Sword. However, the swordsmanship to kill a god was impossible with ‘human skills’. I fought while carrying everything, but I lost everything.”
The dragon seen in Alice’s memories made her feel a flash of fear.
But that’s all, Alice didn’t see the details of whether or not she had killed the dragon.
“That is why I created a new sword technique and instilled in it the will of heavenly slaughter. That is how I was able to kill the dragon. That was the birth of me, the first dragon slayer.”
As soon as I heard those words, a window appeared before my eyes.
-Tiring!
[I heard the sequel to
[Aris’s final act ended with him killing the dragon.]
[
[Iris, who went beyond the rules, changed into a species as a living creature.]
My eyes widened when I saw the last words.
That’s because I just remembered the ‘achievements’ I heard from the King of Heroes.
‘Achievements that transcend species…!’
From the perspective of the gods, whether human or animal, they were nothing more than mere insignificant creatures.
If that tiny creature commits an act that it should not commit and breaks the limits of its actions, is that creature just as insignificant as other tiny creatures from the perspective of the gods?
No, I don’t think so. At least I will remember the name of that creature, and I will remember what that creature did.
That was the achievement.
“After that, I faced death.”
Although Alice achieved great feats beyond her species, she was unable to do anything about her exhausted body from fighting the dragon, and eventually died.
“But I was reborn. A body that was not human but had the achievement of
The saying that death and birth are only a sheet of paper apart came to mind.
Alice died in a human body and was reborn with the power of achievement.
“After that, I went around killing dragons. Of course, I didn’t kill all of them. Just as each dragon has a different personality, I left the dragons that wanted to deal with their own karma alone to maintain balance. That was my life.”
‘……’
“The reason you can see me now is because you gained the ability to be on the borderline, which gave you the nickname of “Mangeom” (萬劍) and the achievement of “Cheonsal” (天殺). And that ability must have awakened when you encountered a being with the power of a dragon.”
‘「The Truth of the Sword (Incomplete)」…. Is that what it meant?’
Literally, this was a skill that was on the borderline.
It was given the name ‘(Incomplete)’ because it was an ambiguous borderline where he had the memories of ten thousand sword techniques but also wanted to kill a god.
“You have to choose.”
At those words, another window appeared before my eyes.
-Tiring!
[“The Truth of the Sword” is about to evolve to the next level.]
[But it is impossible with the human body.]
[The “Druid’s Flesh” is not a support.]
[Everything is (unfinished)]
It was an impossible ability that could not be achieved with the human body.
If the “Druid body” had been completed, then it would be different, but with this body now, I couldn’t advance even one step.
But Alice’s voice did not end.
“Your swordsmanship has already built up a foundation.”
I created my own swordsmanship by recalling the basic image.
And the framework was the Rajan sword technique.
“The abilities of many heroes are forming your backbone.”
But that wasn’t all there was to me in Alice’s eyes.
The hero abilities I had acquired so far supported my body and were the axis of my swordsmanship.
“Abandon all heroic abilities and take on the feat of
“……!”
At those words, my eyes opened wide.
“What is that…..!”
“Once you gain the achievement, all the hero abilities you have become meaningless. Whether it’s a special body, senses, or emotions, everything about the hero you’ve gained is from the ‘realm of living things’ to begin with.”
That’s what it means to transcend species.
It is a body that transcends everything and has no limits.
I was dumbfounded by the new information I learned.
But I didn’t have much time left. I had to choose.
“What if… I don’t do that?”
Alice tilted her head.
“Is there really a need for that? Just leave the realm of the living and start over. You can gain abilities that are superior to any hero abilities you’ve had so far.”
“But what if you still won’t do that?”
“…..”
Alice hasn’t spoken since.
It’s just my own opinion, but Alice’s
However, if you do that, you will also lose the “Druid’s Body” and you will not be able to confirm the hero’s achievements or accumulate knowledge.
That is, in exchange for escaping from the category of human, I cannot surpass Alice.
“Is that your choice?”
“I have to surpass you. I’m sorry, but the enemies invading my homeland are probably stronger than dragons. Of course, it’s a shame, but there’s nothing I can do.”
At those words, Alice slightly raised the corners of her lips.
“You surpass me…..”
Alice slowly approached me.
“You’re saying that you can’t even perfectly use my swordsmanship?”
“……yes?”
Alice slowly raised the corners of her mouth as if she found something so amusing.
“Then try to surpass me, Irregular. With the power of the dragon you possess.”
“…..!”
At the same time, a window appeared before my eyes.
-Tiring!
[The dragon’s soul sealed within the Drake’s t**ticles scattered within the user’s body awakens.]
[Aris Dweig Lazan fuses the Dragon’s Soul with the “Truth of the Sword (Incomplete)”.]

[The achievement still retains its remnants.]
-Tiring!

[「S: Truth of the Sword」changes to 「EX: Dragon’s Breath」.]
-Tiring!
[The very foundation of the body is shaken.]
