Chapter 108: Break Through the Limit (1)
Chwack! Chwaack!
"Ugh!"
Every time the man moved, Kang-jun’s body was damaged.
Hwik! Papak!
The man approached like lightning and suddenly disappeared.
Chwack!
Then once again, blood gushed out from Kang-jun’s side.
Kang-jun blocked using his strength but the number of wounds continued to increase.
Health: 6470/14470
Once his health fell below 50%, Will of Attack was activated.
However, if the opponent wasn’t hit by the attack, what was the point of his damage becoming stronger?
Kang-jun swung his sword but only a shadow remained at the spot where he had struck.
“Don’t look with your eyes but with your heart. It will be tough if you don’t understand it. You will reach your limit.”
The man said bluntly while attacking.
It was like he realized Kang-jun wouldn’t understand and had to teach him.
Then the man prepared to deal the final blow to Kang-jun.
Flash!
It was a Heavenly Cut that flew straight and true.
It seemed to have enough momentum to slice apart a mountain. His head would be cut off if the sword struck him.
However, at that moment, Kang-jun avoided it.
The man’s eyes widened.
Even Kang-jun was pleasantly surprised.
He hadn’t done it consciously. His body had simply moved subconsciously and he avoided it.
Kang-jun’s body moved 20 metres instantaneously.
‘How did this happen?’
It wasn’t the time to question it.
The man was attacking like crazy once more.
Chwack! Chwaack!
Blood splattered from his body again. He tried to stop it but couldn’t.
'Shit!'
He just avoided a great attack, so why couldn’t he do it again?
[Health has fallen below 30%, so Will of Survival is activated.]
[Your physical and magic defense have increased significantly.]
In the end, his health had dropped below 30%. Thanks to the increased defense, the damage received from the sword was reduced.
Chwack! Chwaack!
‘Ugh!’
The pain was considerable. He managed to endure thanks to Will of Survival, but his whole body was in a state of pain, so he was suffering.
Chwack! Chuaack! Puhak!
The attacks of the men were ruthless.
He was a man who had existed for the purpose of giving everything to Kang-jun, but he never seemed to feel any mercy toward Kang-jun.
The man didn’t give Kang-jun any time to breathe as he tried to kill him.
Chwack! Chwaack!
‘Ugh! Ohh...’
Kang-jun had become more conscious of the pain.
It almost seemed like death would be more comfortable.
He might have died earlier if it hadn't been for Will of Survival.
However, due to Will of Survival, he had to persist through the tremendous pain that couldn’t be expressed.
Was this torture?
It was a pain that never ended!
It was just like hell. He wanted to give up.
However, Kang-jun clenched his teeth and focused on the man's movements.
No, he focused his heart. He looked with his heart, not his eyes.
He had clearly done it before.
It hadn't been a coincidence. If he had done it once, he could do it again.
At that time, the man aimed Heavenly Cut toward Kang-jun again.
Flash!
A huge flash of light flew toward him!
At that moment, the flash passed by Kang-jun.
No, it seemed like it passed by but he actually disappeared from the space, then appeared again.
Was there another miracle?
The man approached with a surprised expression and wielded his sword.
Kakang! Seokeok!
However, Kang-jun’s sword moved and cut his neck.
[4,000 chaos power have been acquired.]
Kang-jun quickly took an advanced Regeneration Medicine of Darkness from his inventory and drank it.
Snap! Snap!
The moment he killed the man...
Kang-jun had time to drink a few potions before more men appeared.
The Vampire Lord’s Sword had the ability to occasionally absorb health, but the amount recovered wasn’t that high.
Thoughts ran through his head while drank a potion.
He had seen a vague, almost mirage like image before. Like the wind, it was an emptiness he couldn’t grasp.
Then he finally got his hands on it.
He had another enlightenment!
Was this an upgrade in the level of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style?
The obvious thing was that he would have to fight the man again.
-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 7: 4000/5120000
A huge amount of chaos power was needed to strengthen the wings to the next stage.
‘5.12 million?’
He gained 4,000 points at a time. How many people would he need to kill to fill that up?
He felt like he wouldn’t be able to strengthen it.
‘Damn! How many moonstones would be required for that?’
That was approximately 340,000 moonstones.
No matter how much he fought on the Bloody Battlefield, it wouldn't be easy to collect that many moonstones.
The problem was that there was no guarantee it would succeed!
'If I fail, 5.12 million chaos power will fly away.’
When thinking about strengthening his wings, the image of Rainkar popped up.
He had seemed like he would do anything to not strengthen the wings again.
Kang-jun would also have a similar mindset if 5.12 million chaos power were to fly away at once.
However, what if he could fill all of the chaos power here?
Then he could strengthen his wings to Stage 7.
It was a mission close to impossible since he needed to defeat 1,279 people!
Yet he still had to try his best.
Sususu.
In the meantime, two people appeared on the left and right of Kang-jun and struck him.
They seemed even more powerful than before.
Flash! Flash!
Heavenly Cut flew from both sides.
Each of them were 30 meters away, but the flashes were in front of Kang-jun as soon as they emerged from the swords.
They weren’t just flashes but the space itself...
It was a terrifying attack outside the limits of space!
Kang-jun ignored the flashes and ran forward. His sword followed and also broke through the space.
Seokeok! Seokeok!
The men’s necks were cut and they crashed to the ground. They soon turned into smoke and disappeared.
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
Snap! Snap!
He drank potions again and filled up his health.
‘It is like I thought.’
Kang-jun had become inspired.
He grasped it in his hands.
It was just space.
Kang-jun was outside of the constraints of space.
Susu. Sususu.
More people had appeared.
This time they gathered together and rushed toward Kang-jun.
At that moment, Kang-jun used a skill,
‘Heavenly Unyielding Slash!’
The wide area attack skill of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.
Flash! Paaaah!
The energy from the sword spread out like a wave, causing damage to enemies on all sides.
However, now, the centre of the wave wasn’t his sword.
The waves of Heavenly Unyielding Slash formed 30 metres away and wiped out the three men.
Seokeok! Chwack! Chuaack!
They turned into smoke and disappeared.
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
'Now, it is a ranged skill?’
Kang-jun laughed quietly.
He had desired to have more attack skills.
However, that was no longer necessary.
He had Heavenly Cut, Heavenly Unyielding Slash and Heavenly Flow!
With these three things, he could create an unlimited number of skills.
It was possible to control the direction and use Heavenly Cut and Heavenly Unyielding Slash from a distance. Even if the opponent avoided it, they would be hit eventually.
It was true for Heavenly Flow as well.
His sword could be used to scatter magic from a distance.
It would be a disaster for magicians.
However, Kang-jun’s range of freedom from the constraints of space wasn’t unlimited.
It was approximately 30 metres.
As soon as the men were out of that range, Kang-jun could no longer ignore the space to attack.
However, it was possible for the men.
After that, Kang-jun fell into a crisis again.
By the time his health fell below 1,000 points, he had gained more enlightenment and the limits of his space widened dramatically. He then kept on wiping out the men.
Soon, stronger men appeared and attacked.
They were always strong enough to bring Kang-jun to the brink of death and once he was able to beat them, enemies one step higher were revealed.
How much time had passed?
He didn’t know how many people he had killed.
He had forgotten to count such things.
Kang-jun was surviving in a battle trance.
Additionally, he was using his bare hands.
He couldn’t remember when this had happened.
The legend grade weapon, the Vampire Lord’s sword, was on the verge of crumbling and he was forced to put it into his inventory.
Kang-jun used his hands to unleash the skills.
From that moment on, Heavenly Cut and Heavenly Unyielding Slash surged from his hands. He moved his hands to scatter consecutive Heavenly Cuts.
Of course, using his hands was weaker than a sword.
However, it wasn’t necessary for men to be hit by a powerful force.
If he hit vital places such as the throat, the men would disappear.
Even so, it wasn’t easy to defeat them.
It was pointless using the skills with his hands if they didn’t hit.
He didn’t know how many times he had exceeded the limit.
Flash! Paaaat!
At that moment, ten men were killed by the Heavenly Unyielding Slash that had emerged from Kang-jun’s hands.
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
[4,000 chaos power has been acquired.]
······
Before he knew it, he had acquired the chaos power he once considered impossible.
-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 7: 5120000/5120000
[The wings’ chaos power is full.]
[Do you want to strengthen it to the next stage?]
[Yes/No]
Kang-jun was overwhelmed with emotion.
He really hadn’t expected to reach this point.
‘Yes! Strengthen.’
At that moment, Kang-jun’s state was restored and a brilliant light shone from his wings.
[The Wings of Chaos have been strengthened to Stage 7.]
[Your damage has increased greatly.]
[Health will increase by 10,000 points.]
[Black magic energy will increase by 10,000 points.]
At Stage 7, his health and black magic energy were increased by 10,000 points.
Health: 24470/24470
Black Magic Energy: 24020/24020
At Stage 7, the Wings of Chaos awakened another ability.
[You have awakened the Will of Strengthening.]
[While Will of Strengthening is activated, you will gain chaos power instead of experience from defeated enemies.]
A very unusual ability emerged.
‘Will of Strengthening?’
It wasn’t an ability that reinforced his body. he would gain chaos power instead of experience when defeating enemies while this skill was activated.
No chaos power or black magic energy was consumed when casting it.
This meant that Kang-jun could choose to use it at any time.
If he wanted experience then he would get experience points. If he wanted chaos power then he would receive it!
‘This will make it easier to collect chaos power.’
-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 8: 0/5120000
Surprisingly, the amount needed to strengthen to Stage 8 was the same as Stage 7.
‘I am glad.’
As long as he got chaos power from enemies using Will of Strengthening, he would be able to challenge Stage 8.
Of course, then he would need good luck.
Susu.
At that time, a black-haired man appeared in front of Kang-jun.
Unlike before, the man this time seemed very ordinary. At first glance, he didn’t have any combat abilities.
“You have reached this point. It is possible for your will to become transcendent. However, you will have to make constant efforts if you want to reach the state of transcendence.”
The man smiled and continued speaking,
“The training is now over. Remember this last attack that I will use. The moment that you can block and unleash such an attack in the future is the moment you reach transcendence.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he wielded his sword.
