Chapter 287
“If Kim YuWon returns, wouldn’t you be the one causing him the most headaches?”
Son OhGong chuckled.
Asura, who had been sitting silently like a rock throughout the meeting, frowned at Son OhGong’s words.
“Shut up, Monkey.”
“What? Monkey? Did I say something wrong?”
“What you said is correct, that’s why it hurts even more.”
Though he wasn’t in the mood, Asura didn’t deny Son OhGong’s words. Perhaps he was the most dangerous of them all.
Asura’s sudden actions in the past were as unpredictable as his variables. He had no regularity in his actions, making him difficult to predict.
“The first head was definitely out of control.”
Asura had a total of three heads.
Among them, the head that moved the most was the first one.
The second head sometimes tried to control it, but who knows.
If he had been under proper control, Asura wouldn’t have gained an infamous reputation in the Tower.
“What were you doing at that time?”
It was Odin’s question that brought back Asura’s infamous reputation from the past.
Then, Asura sighed and lifted his head.
“I was sleeping.”
“Sleeping?”
“I hardly ever woke up, so…”
“Well, then, there’s no way to stop you? Don’t you have anything to say about it?”
When Son OhGong pressed him with frustration, Asura, who had been thinking for a moment, spoke up.
“Stopping the first head is surprisingly easy.”
He, who attended the meeting, was the last of the three Asuras.
He was the third Asura.

Zeus concealed his figure in the sky.
A flash of light shone in the sky. In that moment, YuWon raised the hand that held the Uranus Heart.
In the next moment…
Flash~
A mighty Lightning Bolt descended from the sky.
Kuang!
With the sound of thunder, the Lightning Bolt struck down.
Kwajijijijik!
The spear of Lightning poured down upon Asura’s head.
Although he had lost his Lightning Bolt, Zeus was still Zeus. Asura, with two heads emerging, crossed his four arms to stop it with great effort.
Only the aftermath made YuWon’s body tremble.
‘To think he can display such power without the Lightning Bolt…’
The reflection of Zeus in the sky was mirrored in the Golden Cinder Eyes.
‘It’s truly impressive.’
Yes.
In his prime, he had enough power to wipe out an entire city with a single Lightning Bolt. It was like the Lightning Bolt that struck Camelot.
Compared to back then, undoubtedly, Zeus’s Lightning Bolt power now was weak.
Of course, there were differences.
Pazhik, pazhijijik!
Unlike the Lightning Bolt that fell to completely destroy Camelot, the Lightning Bolt that struck Asura’s head now had a shape more similar to a ‘spear’.
Power grows stronger and sharper the more it is concentrated at one point.
Finally, the spear pierced through Asura’s arm.
Kwajik!
The ground beneath his feet crumbled.
Pweeoeng!
A Lightning Bolt buried Asura deeply into the earth.
Zeus drove another sharp and powerful spear into him.
Crackle!
The Lightning Bolt was deafening.
YuWon looked in Asura’s direction, using the Uranus Heart to prevent the Lightning Bolt from reaching him.
Four arms weren’t enough. Finally, Asura fell to his knees and collapsed onto the ground.
Tuk-.
Zeus descended to the earth again.
A cloud of smoke rose from the pit.
As Zeus approached,
Pazhik!
An arm rose from the ground.
Hwaak.
Asura’s hand extended towards Zeus. A rough grip seized him by the throat, while other hands raised their weapons.
However…

Fajijijik-.
Zeus’s figure disappeared in a golden flash within Asura’s hand.
Boom!
A yellow lightning enveloped Asura’s body. The flash of light made Asura stagger back in shock.
“Insignificant talk.”
Tuk.
Zeus descended to the ground.
“Did you think I wouldn’t notice you hiding underground, waiting for me to come down?”
“I guess you didn’t dare to come close.”
“Well…”
The distance between them closed.
Kwak-.
Boom-.
“Ah…!”
Asura’s eyes blinked.
Suddenly, against his will, Asura was lifted up. Zeus grabbed his neck with his hand and lifted him.
“Don’t dare judge me for so little.”
Grasp, grasp, grasp.
Pazhijijijik.
Kwaang!
Along with the Lightning Bolt transmitted through his hand, Asura was slammed into the ground.
It didn’t matter whether the distance was long or short.
Firstly, distance only made sense if the powers were at a similar level.
But the difference between the two was so great that such distance was meaningless.
The gap between Zeus and Asura was as large as expected. YuWon was also surprised.
‘The guy with two heads is falling behind like this.’
Zeus lost his Lightning Bolt.
That’s why YuWon secretly underestimated Zeus’s abilities.
Indeed, in the fight against Zeus, Zeus had drastically weakened after losing his Lightning Bolt.
Naturally, YuWon was thinking of Zeus based on his ability at that time.
“He has adapted.”
For Zeus, losing the Lightning Bolt was like losing an arm. And it was his right hand, which he had used his whole life.
The battle at that time unfolded when Zeus had just lost his Lightning Bolt. Of course, he didn’t have enough time to adapt to the lost power.
But now it was different.
“If the Rating Management sees this fight, Zeus’s rating might rise again.”
It was such an impressive skill that was what YuWon thought.
Of course.
‘Asura is also the same.’
Creack~.
The ground where Zeus pinned Asura split open.
The Asura in his hands writhed.
Above the two heads, the third head began to faintly appear.
All the heads emerged.
No.
‘Is the last head coming out?’
The third head of Asura, which YuWon knew, was coming out.
Pazhit, pazhijijik.
A Lightning Bolt flowed from Zeus’s hand.
Instinctively, he also sensed the danger from the third head.
But at that moment…
Slash.
A long wound appeared on Zeus’s face.
Surprised, Zeus released Asura’s throat and took a step back. Like a ray of light, Zeus appeared at a short distance, and Asura’s fifth hand slashed where Zeus had been moments before.
Zuruk-.
Drops of blood trickled down his cheek.
Zeus wiped away the blood with his hand.
“Seems like I forgot you had six arms.”
It was a careless mistake.
However, the sword strike that Asura had just unleashed was much faster than imagined.
Zeus stood up and looked at Asura.
Three heads.
And six arms.
‘I heard he’s a monster with three heads and six arms…’
The Three-Headed and Six-Armed Monster (三頭六臂/Three Heads Six Arms). The title he had been given since he began climbing the Tower and making a name for himself.
“He lives up to his name.”
The atmosphere had completely changed compared to before.
The guy who was strong but violent and uncontrollable had suddenly transformed into someone completely different.
It was a different feeling from when the second head emerged.
“At least you’ve become somewhat more useful.”
The corner of Zeus’s lips lifted.
Finally, the third head appeared.
The real fight would begin now.
Pazhijijik-!
The Lightning Bolts emanating from Zeus’s body intensified.
The Lightning Bolts gathered in his hand and transformed into a spear. It seemed like the spear would be thrown with all his power at any moment.
The third head revealed itself completely.
Just as the two were about to collide again…
Thud-.
Amidst that, YuWon approached on foot.
“This is as far as it goes.”
Zeus’s eyebrows furrowed at the sudden intervention.
“Step aside.”
“This time, we think the same.”
Asura’s eyes blinked.
“Step aside. I don’t want to kill you.”
The killing intent from both spilled forth simultaneously. It was terrifying enough to be caught in the middle. But he had no intention of withdrawing from here.
YuWon turned his head and looked at Asura.
“You’re here to fight me, aren’t you?”
“And if I am, what?”
A look that conveyed whether they would fight or not.
YuWon shrugged at Asura’s burning pupils.
“I’m pretty exhausted right now, so I can’t fight.”
Asura furrowed his eyebrows.
An expression of dissatisfaction.
“Exhausted?”
“I just finished a major trial recently. It’s difficult to fight properly in my current state.”
Although his energy had recovered immediately, that didn’t mean he was in his best condition. In his heart, YuWon wanted to sigh deeply and rest properly.
“It’s not like I can’t fight at all…”
YuWon observed Asura’s conflicted expression.
“He’s probably not interested in a story that no longer arouses his interest.”
Asura’s purpose was fun.
A fight against a strong and exciting opponent. That was why Asura had sought out YuWon.
But if the target turned out to be a prey without appetite, then the thrill of the hunt would fade away.
“The problem is Zeus…”
Will he really continue this fight to the end?
YuWon turned his head and looked at Zeus. Surprisingly, he was already collecting his Arcane Power.
“That’s unexpected.”
Zeus had a strong sense of pride.
Naturally, he thought he would cling on and seek an ending.
“I have no intention of clinging to a fight with no gain. I’m not as obsessed with fighting as that guy.”
“Really?”
It was a relief.
Asura calmed down a bit, and Zeus, from the beginning, didn’t have much interest in fighting against Asura.
So the situation was roughly resolved.
With no need to worry about Zeus anymore, YuWon looked back at Asura.
“I have a proposal.”
“A proposal?”
An expression of disbelief crossed Asura’s face.
But curiously, the third head, the last one to appear, had a gleam in its eyes.
“You have my attention.”
“There are two options.”
“Two options?”
“Postpone our fight for later. Not when my body has immediately recovered, but in a few years.”
Upon those words, the first head suddenly raised its voice.
“Why should I do that?”
A conversation among the three.
But fortunately, there was a simpler side to Asura’s personality.
“Because by then, I will be stronger.”
Asura’s eyes sparkled.
Not the other heads, but the first one, the most bellicose.
“How many years do you need?”
“Three years are enough.”
There was a brief silence. It seemed like the three Asuras were having a conversation.
And in the end…
“Can you promise that?”
Asura asked, biting the bait that YuWon had thrown.
“Yes. I promise.”
He had no intention of breaking his promise.
If, indeed, within three years, Asura asked him for a fight, he would accept it.
“What is the second option?”
“Isn’t there a more important opponent than fighting me?”
YuWon’s gaze shifted downward.
Suddenly, he observed the blackened and charred bodies due to the fight with Zeus.
The Indra Tribe.
Their existence was a wound that couldn’t be erased for Asura, like touching a painful past.
That’s why YuWon said:
“We plan on taking down Indra.”
The expressions of the Asuras hardened.
Indra.
From the moment that name came out of YuWon’s mouth.
“You, what did you say…?”
“Do you want to join us?”
If Indra moves, Asura will surely move as well.
Therefore, he didn’t plan on actively seeking him out.
‘Thanks for appearing in this way first…’
YuWon extended his hand toward Asura.
‘Things will become a bit easier.’
