Chapter 302: Star, the United Army (2)
Booom!
[Balmung] and [Nothung] clashed once again.
[‘Balmung’ thirsts for more blood!]
[Balmung] desperately wanted to drink Heoju’s blood, and thus closed in on Heoju with its hideous fangs and tried to nullify Heoju’s counterattacks. However, its attempt did not work out the way it wanted, causing the blade to throw a tantrum.
[‘Nothung’ is reluctant to fight against its old comrade!]
In contrast, [Nothung] refused to harm Chang-Sun, but Heoju quelled its defiance by force, and [Balmung] kept slamming against [Nothung]. In the end, [Nothung] had to fight back in order to survive.
Creeak―!
As the two blades collided with each other, [Balmung] slid across the top of [Nothung] and tried to create explosions that would crack its surface. Thus, [Nothung] did nott stay quiet any longer.
[‘Nothung’ is looking for a way to kill a Celestial!]
[Nothung] was known as the ‘god-slayer sword’, a title it had earned because Chang-Sun had killed countless Celestials and absorbed their grudges; thus, it specialized in killing Celestials.
[Nothung]
One of the four slayer swords that were previously owned by ‘Divine Twilight’. ‘Divine Twilight’ killed countless Celestials with this sword, causing it to contain the many grudges of the deceased. Those grudges hold spiritual power, causing the blade to constantly unleash curses upon its enemies in order to lead them to the same miserable fate. The sword specializes in demolishing Divine Class and ; its Effects grant it great power to kill Celestials.
· Type: Two-handed sword.
· Grade: Relic.
· Effect: Divine Class Demolition. Detriment. Celestialcide Curse.
The dead Celestials’ grudges contained within [Nothung] inflicted curses on other Celestials. The dead Celestials wanted others to meet the same miserable end they had, and their desires thus became shackles that would weigh other Celestials down. When [Nothung] released its power...
Oooong―!
...all the grudges [Nothung] had been holding back to protect Chang-Sun were released at once.
―That’s...
―No way...?
―No, that guy had a higher Divine Class than him.
―What are you talking about? How can you not recognize your own enemy?!
―Twilight! It’s Twilight!
―Twilight!!! Finally! Finally, we meet!
―Twilight!
The deceased Celestials recognized Chang-Sun right away. Most of their awareness had faded away, so many of them only repeated the same word over and over. Nevertheless, they were able to immediately remember Chang-Sun, their killer. Their grudges were amplified hundreds of times over, and they growled loudly, seemingly intending to devour Chang-Sun right away. The dead Celestials’ murderous intent and hostility were so vivid that Chang-Sun’s skin stung, even though he was being protected by the storm of his Class.
Of course, all their grudges powered up Heoju greatly, and he spoke.
『Can you see it, Twilight? You said you’d take this sword back, but it seems that won’t be easy. The guys you’ve killed up until this point will try to kill you by any means necessary.』
―Kill him!
―Kill! Kill! Kill!
―We’ll break every bone in your body and gnaw every last scrap of flesh. Just as you did, we’ll slaughter you and feed your corpse to crows.
―I begged you to spare me because I had a fiancee who was waiting for my return, but you didn’t even pretend to listen and killed me. Why?! Why in the world...?!
―Why?!
『I think you won’t die an easy death.』
Heoju smirked.
Of course, the dead Celestials’ hostility did not really faze Chang-Sun. He replied, “I think it would be better for you to get acquainted with them before you worry about me.” In other words, he was implying that Heoju would soon join them.
Feeling gravely insulted, Heoju frowned and prepared to unleash his fury immediately, but...
Clang, clang, clang―!
...Chang-Sun pushed away Heoju by putting more power behind [Balmung]. Dozens of sword attacks were exchanged in a flash, and Heoju stumbled a few steps backward.
Boom! Boom! Boooom―!
Whenever they collided, it created a noise that resembled a cannon firing. Every sword attack Chang-Sun used was based on [Black Mountain King’s Claws], the Skill—no, the Authority[1]—created for the sole purpose of killing Heoju and Munseong.
The old clan leader, who had even lost his name, became furious as he watched the traitor.
―If the tumor that ate away all my clan members had turned out fine, becoming a real tiger and an absolute being that ruled universes, I wouldn’t have been this angry.
The grudge the black tiger emanated obscured that of [Nothung] little by little. The dead Celestials were screaming something, but no sound could be heard. Just as the other animals on a mountain range fell silent in the face of its king’s fury, no one else could hold their head up.
―But in my eyes, you’re just a kitty-cat who always covets other people’s belongings and looks for opportunities to steal them.
While mastering [Black Mountain King’s Claws] little by little, Chang-Sun had been able to feel the depths of the black tiger Celestial’s grudge against Heoju. At the same time, the black tiger Celestial had felt sad about the tragic choices Heoju made. The moment [Black Tiger Celestial’s Claws] was created, allowing Chang-Sun to release that grudge into the outside world...
―Heoju!
...Chang-Sun was able to use the black tiger Celestial’s power as if it were his own, channeling it into a swing of his sword. His every step was as powerful as the black tiger’s, and each move resembled the black tiger’s claw strikes. Now was the time to reveal how vicious the black tiger’s jaws could truly be.
―Just as you did, I’ll bite your head off and crush your heart here and now, and take revenge for the clan members! I’ve been a pathetic leader, so this memorial ceremony is the only thing I can do for them!
Booom!
『Keough...!』
Heoju was pushed back once again as Chang-Sun struck him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in scars.
Just as the description stated, [Black Tiger Celestial’s Claws] was a counter-type Authority that was specifically designed to nullify Heoju’s abilities and kill him. The longer this fight dragged out, the more Heoju would fall to a disadvantage.
『What did I do wrong?!』
Heoju felt that his end was imminent. Chang-Sun and the black tiger... Heoju had met not only one, but two people whom he had once wanted to take after, but ultimately never wanted to meet again. It was obvious how the battle would end.
『What’s wrong with wanting to have more power and reach a higher position?! You guys were born talented, so you have no idea how much I desperately...!』
Heoju shouted at the top of his lungs, wishing to vent his pent-up anger, but he was soon forced to stop.
Swish―!
Chang-Sun threw [Balmung] like a javelin aimed at Heoju’s face.
Claaang!
Heoju managed to parry [Balmung] upward with [Nothung].
“Blah, blah, blah. You’re so noisy that I can’t take it anymore,” Chang-Sun said, shaking his head. Heoju’s strike was not enough to stop him from closing the gap between them.
Swoosh!
Chang-Sun turned left, holding [Gram] in his left hand. Just like the time he had drawn [Balmung], he backed Heoju into a corner and initiated a new attack, saying, “So I’ll shut you up first.”
[The Authority ‘Black Tiger Celestial’s Claws’ has been combined with the Authority ‘Despising Weakness’, significantly increasing the attack’s damage!]
Boom―!
Rumble!
The dragon-slayer sword and god-slayer sword collided, creating a large cloud of dust that blocked their view. Both combatants’ senses were dulled by the impact; both Chang-Sun’s and Heoju’s [Monster Excursion] temporarily malfunctioned. At that moment, Chang-Sun and Heoju had to follow their instincts and move spontaneously; thus, neither of them could predict the outcomes of their decisions, leaving them up to luck.
However, the main difference between them was that Chang-Sun was the one who had created the situation. [Balmung], which had flown into the air, landed right back in Chang-Sun’s right hand as he held up his arm.
Slash!
Chang-Sun swung [Balmung] downward as hard as he could. His movements embodied a kind of divinity that only the former holder of the [King of All Weapons] trait could display.
[You have successfully severed the right arm of the Celestial ‘Calamity Tiger’ with your claw!]
Slash!
『Argghhh!』
Heoju screamed, his right arm flying into the air. [Nothung] escaped his now-powerless grasp and landed in Chang-Sun’s left hand.
Ziing, zinnnngg!
[Nothung] shook faintly. The grudges of the deceased Celestials tried to resist, but they were dragged back into the depths of the sword as Chang-Sun infused the blade with divine power.
[You have acquired ‘Nothung’!]
With the dragon-slayer sword in his right hand and the god-slayer sword in his left, Chang-Sun moved. Wielding the very sword that had just been trying to kill him, he would take Heoju’s life.
