As he said that, he slowly approached Seo Kang-rim.
The reason he was taking his time even though he could have killed her with one stroke of a sword was because of the arrogance that is characteristic of the strong.
As he approached, the air around him became heavier and heavier, weighing on his shoulders.
“It would have been better if it had been outside the palace. But this is the palace. It is the heavenly sanctuary that protects paradise.”
Within the palace, the suppression order was becoming even more effective.
Seo Kang-rim bowed his head without saying anything.
The sword of the reigning king was aimed at Seo Kang-rim.
“I applaud you for making me rise from my throne. But that’s all.”
Any further misconduct was intolerable.
The king spoke as if he were giving great praise.
“Know that it is an honor to die by my hand, for your corpse will strengthen the foundation of paradise.”
-Whoaaah!
Seo Kang-rim tried to rebel, but the King’s sword was faster.
In an instant, Seo Kang-rim’s heart was pierced.
But at that moment, the reigning king noticed that something was strange.
‘Why isn’t there any bleeding?’
The King had expected Seo Kang-rim to infiltrate here, but there was something he did not know.
That means Seo Kang-rim knew everything.
In addition, the Sajuchang was also identified, and a method to deal with the ‘Suppression Order’ was also prepared.
-Kwaaang!
Just as I was feeling puzzled, a loud explosion was heard from behind.
The king looked back and his eyes widened.
A pile of rocks was seen pouring down along with the loud noise.
It was a celestial stone statue guarding paradise.
[The relic of ‘The Heaven that Protects Paradise’ is destroyed! The influence of the sanctuary is weakened!]
Seo Kang-rim knew well about the effects of the suppression order.
It has also been confirmed in the Messiah Monastery that when a relic is destroyed in a sanctuary, its influence is weakened.
So while the clone was fighting the reigning king, the main body moved to destroy the stone statue.
As the suppression spell’s effects began to wane, several powerful hunters were able to rise from their seats.
-Kwaaang!
Jang Tae-heon’s fists were easily knocking down the soldiers as if they were clay dolls.
After that, numerous tentacles grew from the ground, grabbed my ankles, and pulled me into the abyss.
Shin Soo-ah also joined the battle again, and was taking down enemies more fiercely than anyone else.
“This is ridiculous… … !”
As the stone statue collapsed, the face of the reigning king was distorted without mercy.
How do you know the effects of the statue?
At that moment when the King was panicking, he felt a pain stronger than the shock of the explosion.
-Whoaaah!
The King’s back was cut long and blood flowed out.
He twisted his body with animalistic senses and stopped at the slightest injury, but the face of the reigning king was horribly distorted.
It was a pain I had never felt before.
Who dares to touch the king’s body?
Even as the pain and fever spread, my body responded faithfully.
-Kaga River!
The first attack was accepted, but not the second.
The King of Reigns blocked the attack and looked surprised at the enemy who jumped in front of him.
It was Seo Kang-rim, the traitor he had just killed.
“How on earth did you… …!”
When the dead man reappeared, he was momentarily shocked, but his surprise soon subsided.
It doesn’t matter how you come back to life.
All you have to do is kill him again. No, it’s better.
Because I wanted to behead that innocent face in front of all the people.
-Kang, Kang!
Every time the King swung his sword, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were being created again.
The sword was flying towards Seo Kang-rim like a living beast.
Seo Kang-rim was also quite strong when it came to handling a sword, but he could not compare to the King of Gunrim.
[The ability ‘Sword Inspection’ is activated!]
For a moment, it felt like the sword had blossomed.
The swordsmanship up until now was excellent, but compared to now, it was just a flower bud.
-Kaga River!
It was a talent for swordsmanship that was given to him from birth.
Born from a combination of a strong body, endless magical powers, and talent, the reigning king was truly worthy of calling himself a god.
With each passing stroke of his sword, drops of blood spurted in all directions.
-Whoaaah!
Seo Kang-rim used all his senses to avoid his attacks, but it wasn’t enough.
In contrast, the reigning king did not allow even a single attack, except for a wound on his back.
Not only did he master the ultimate in swordsmanship, but the magical power surrounding his sword increased his attack power several times over.

In comparison, Seo Kang-rim was unable to dodge properly and was barely able to avoid fatal injuries.
[The ability ‘Suppression Order’ is being activated!]
Although the suppression order was weakened by the destruction of the stone statue, the suppression order itself had not yet disappeared.
Every time their swords clashed, it was Seo Kang-rim who was pushed back.
I couldn’t remain human to deal with him.
[Seo Kang-rim activates ‘Half-Myth’!]
[Activate the ability ‘Acceleration’!]
As divine power began to surge throughout Seo Kang-rim’s body, the King of Gungrim also seemed to sense something unusual.
The swords clashed as if biting each other immediately.
The moment their swords clashed, the King shouted.
“Even so, it is just a worthless bug!”
-Kagakak!
Even though Seo Kang-rim had become a demi-god, King Gunrim still had the upper hand.
That was because he was also using divine powers.
And it was not just any god, but a god who had ruled this country for hundreds of years, who was protecting the reigning king.
[The divine power of the ‘Heaven that protects Paradise’ is infused into the reigning king!]
Seo Kang-rim was able to sense how powerful the heavens were as he blocked the sword flying towards him.
As the divine power infused him, the sword of the reigning king became even sharper.
The King spoke with sharp eyes.
“I’ll give you a high rating for your trickery, but that’s the end of it.”
-Kaga River!
As soon as he finished speaking, the blade snapped and bounced off the ground.
It was Seo Kang-rim’s sword.
I couldn’t use my regular weapon, so I bought a sword from a store, but it was still a dragon-grade sword.
But in front of the reigning king, he was just like a tree branch.
[The ability ‘Absolute Sword’ is being activated!]
═══════════════
[Ability] Absolute Sword
[Rank] Shinsampum (God’s Three Grades)
[Description] You can freely wield a sword by infusing it with magic power. While this ability is activated, you can cut down any target.
═══════════════
The absolute sword, the ability to cut through anything.
Anyone would have no choice but to kneel before this ability.
Now, only the broken sword remained in Seo Kang-rim’s hand.
‘It was a talent too good to be wasted on a lowly slave, but I’m sick of this situation.’
How long must we play along with the tricks of insects?
Now that I had lost my weapon, all I had to do was cut off his head.
But then, the King saw the eyes of Seo Kang-rim, who was standing at a distance.
‘… …You weren’t scared?’
Blood flowed down wherever the King’s sword had passed.
With his entire body covered in wounds and even having lost his weapon, it was obvious to anyone that he had lost.
Still, there was no wavering in Seo Kang-rim’s eyes.
“A sword that can cut through anything.”
I knew very well what abilities he had and what weapons he had.
I already knew everything about the Absolute Sword.
I knew the enemy and how to fight against it, so I had nothing to fear.
He looked straight at the reigning king and said:
“I have a weapon that suits him well.”
[The ability ‘Wheel Type’ is activated!]
The magical power flowing from Seo Kang-rim gathered into the sky and something floated into the air.
What appeared in exchange for a considerable amount of horsepower was a giant wheel.
Although it was as big as the sun, the king did not show any sign of being shaken.
No matter how large and threatening the weapon was, it could be destroyed by cutting it down.
As the wheel flew towards the King, the King swung his sword.
-Kagakak!
People used to say that there was nothing that a reigning king could not cut down.
Even iron, let alone steel, was a sword that could break, so a wheel like that could be destroyed in no time.
But then, the King’s eyes began to waver.
‘How come you’re still okay… …?!’
The wheel left a long dent, but was not destroyed.
That’s because the wheel type can never be destroyed until its ability is canceled.
No matter how many times he swung his sword, only a cut mark remained on the surface.
Before the King could even panic, the wheel flew towards its target again.
-Kugu-kung!
“Ugh… … !”
The moment the reigning king kicked the wheel and stepped back, he felt murderous intent behind him.
It was Seo Kang-rim.
He rushed to face the reigning king with his half-broken sword in his hand.
With fierce attacks coming from both sides, it was difficult for even the reigning king to react quickly.
‘I don’t know what it is, but usually when the caster dies, the ability is also canceled! If I just kill that guy… … !’
The wheel’s attacks were sharp, but the pattern was simple.
Just keep rushing towards your goal.
The King of Gunrim dodged the wheel and attacked Seogangrim.
But at that moment, the king felt a sense of unease.
‘Something is different than before.’
It felt completely different from when I clashed swords with Seo Kang-rim just a moment ago.
He was getting stronger.
Even though it was only a few dozen seconds, Seo Kang-rim was getting more intense and faster.
‘What? Am I mistaken?’
But as the battle continued, I could feel that it was not an illusion but reality.
As time passed, Seo Kang-rim became stronger and he himself became weaker.
He was confused, but then he realized something.
It is not that he himself has become weaker, but that the divine powers of heaven that protect paradise have become weaker.
If so, there is one cause.
He looked back at the collapsed stone statue in a hurry.
[Many of the people of Paradise witnessed the guardian statue collapsing!]
[The people’s faith in the ‘heaven that protects paradise’ begins to waver!]
There were two reasons why Seo Kang-rim destroyed the guardian statue.
One is to weaken the influence of the sanctuary.
Another one was to show the people the sight of the stone statue collapsing.
The giant stone statue erected in the palace was enchanted so that it could be seen from anywhere in the country.
So that everyone can look at the statue and be in awe and fear.
It worked in the favor of the heavens that protected paradise, but now it was the other way around.
[The people are talking about the ‘King of Dirt and Worms’!]
On the day of the Heavenly King, countless people would be looking towards the royal palace.
And then a crimson dragon appeared in the sky above the castle.
When many people saw the dragon, one rumor came to mind.
[A black dragon appears where the king of dirt and bugs is.]
And soon after, all the people saw the guardian statue being destroyed.
When the people saw it, they all had the same idea in their heads.
[The King of Dirt and Bugs Has Destroyed Paradise!]
Ultimately, the power of God is based on human belief.
The moment the people began to believe that their king had been defeated, the power of Paradise began to decline rapidly.
And on the contrary, the popularity of Seo Kang-rim was skyrocketing like crazy.
[The people of Paradise are talking about the king of dirt and bugs!]
[The people of Paradise are praying to the King of the Earth and Bugs!]
[The people of Paradise are crying out for the name of the King of Dust and Worms!]
