Chapter 315: A Nice Presence (2)
-But I need a little help from you.
My help?
Seol-Hwi who wanted to agree hesitated.
Was it not always the AI who solved the problems and pretended to be the absolute strongest? And now he needs help?
-It would take a while to explain… the situation is complicated, so I will be brief. First of all, you have been Profound Demon, and that is why your body and the skills are formidable for me.
Profound Demon?
Seol-Hwi tilted his head. Come to think of it, he had not called the AI since he reached Profound Demon. No, had he ever called him after reaching Supreme Demon?
When he called this guy, it was usually in the situation of life and death, and so the same things repeated after his deaths.
I get it. Tell me what you need from me,
Seol-Hwi responded.
-Taiji Spring of Hope. Do you know how to use that?
Uh?
The special skill, he used it in the battle against Sima Ryang before.
Seol-Hwi felt something flash through his mind.
Surely…
Now, Seol-Hwi’s body was in a state where all the demonic energy had escaped and was filled with just the energy of heavens and purple clouds.
So now… it was rather reasonable to use it.
The Taiji Spring of Hope, it was a martial art of the Justice Faction. And for someone like the AI who had experience this would definitely work.
-As soon as you accept it, you will have to use it right away. Get it?
What? Not you?
-There is no time to explain.
The voice of the AI seemed urgent, so Seol-Hwi nodded, but he did not even know what was happening, and he had to solve the crisis in front of his eyes.
<You have agreed.>
And use it right away
<Taiji Spring of Hope is being used.>
This special technique with several movements was executed.
Chaak
The sword of the End Demon held the flames. The flames which came in front of his eyes seemed to resemble a tornado. However once the technique was activated, Seol-Hwi was not nervous about it.
Wudang’s technique — as one could guess from the name, had one exceptional point of martial arts. It deflated the flames which came rushing in and twisted the direction of the energy.
Piiing
And it changed to an intense glow. The sword with flames, collided with each other, generating tremendous heat and light.
Shhh!
Even that shockwave was enough to make everything fade. Like a meteor which came down from the sky. An extremely intense light spread around.
This was the Taiji Spring of Hope.
The secret of Taiji, which would twist the source of internal energy in the aftermath.
Even though he used it with his own hands, Seol-Hwi was shocked at this.
Uh? My hand…?
Suddenly, there was this strange feeling in Seol-Hwi.
In the past, when the AI was entrusted with the fight, Seol-Hwi had experienced his body moving wildly every time.
It was powerful, and the way he moved was too much. It was to the point of admiring how his body could move like this. That was why, even though he had been uncomfortable with the feeling of his body being robbed, he had no choice but to endure it in the meantime.
But—
Uhhh, hey, this…
The Taiji Spring of Hope he used was different. There was this slight attraction, but with Seol-Hwi’s own will, he used the technique. And with that, he took down the flames of the End Demon.
-Right. you did it.
No, why?
-Well. Because my level in the past is similar to yours now. Progress was slow due to the lack of experience.
The tone of the AI was sullen. And Seol-Hwi was quite sure of it.
So… you asked for help.
He was obviously skilled. The AI who did not know that Seol-Hwi grew higher, could not handle the situation recklessly.
Swish
Uh? Wait. What are you doing?
This gentle attraction, as much as you can resist.
Anyway, the AI moved his body and slightly raised his field of view. Then—
<Supreme Master [OFF]> <Supreme Demon [ON]>
The realm… did I switch it?
What was this now? The moment Seol-Hwi questioned it—
Wheik!
The Purple Cloud Divine Arts energy that was running through the body disappeared like it had never been there to begin with. And in the blink of an eye, the energy in his body permeated further in and changed.
Puaaak!
Its nature changed into that of Demonic Energy.
-I told you. You are inexperienced.
Seol-Hwi felt it again, like a pathetic idiot.
However, he was definitely a good guy. The AI’s actions took care of his difficult situations.
He turned off one art and then changed the situation.
“Ah, it is too late…”
Just then came the voice of End Demon.
One hit, and he believed the opponent would die. In other words, he did his best to unleash it, but it all looked like it did nothing in the end.
And that technique was Taiji.
It was not a matter of praying. Even if he studied the arts of Taiji for the rest of his life, he would not be able to execute it perfectly. How can this guy from the Demonic Sect handle it?
“Well, even so…”
Clench
The lips of the End Demon changed.
The power of flame rose around him again. Even if his wounds were severe, he wanted to win.
“Let us see how that was possible!
There was no change in his determination to kill Seol-Hwi.
Thudddd!
The energy of End Demon rose explosively, and Seol-Hwi ended up taking a defensive stance.
“T-this…”
-What are you doing? Won’t you hit?
Unlike himself who was trying to put his hands up to defend, the AI had other thoughts.
I shouldn’t defend?
-The direction of that attack is so obvious. In such cases you shouldn’t block it, but rush in and strike them. That is what I think.
…Was this what you meant by needing help?
-Right. But the first time is always difficult. You don’t know but this is due to your fighting style.
The AI said with a smile. In fact, he made himself go down in the state of Supreme Demon, but the level right now was close to breaking through.
Compared to that the power of End Demon was high, and if he had to be killed, it was not about subduing but ending it with two to three martial arts.
Wooong!
“Hmm…”
However in the eyes of Seol-Hwi, End Demon’s power felt very strange. Perhaps because of the failure of his attack, but his eyes and attitude — the eyes full of fighting spirit to destroy him.
What kind of martial arts should I use to attack them?
So he asked AI.
-Not to his back but to dig in and hit?
No. right. What kind of footwork should I use to dig in and what martial arts should I use to hit him?
-Hmm… If you pretend like that I will have to tell you everything. Now that we can use it at its best, let’s head over to Dark Fragrance Floating Steps.
‘Ah. Dark Fragrance Floating Steps?’
Seol-Hwi’s eyes slowly widened at the words of AI. The subtle fragrance drifted gently.
As the name suggested, this was the martial arts of Mount Hua’s sword technique as well.
-The kids of Mount Hua only use the sword technique, but originally the point of the Dark Fragrance Floating Steps was to move easily without a kicking motion.
For real…
The AI’s thinking was beyond the point of being creative and was quite scary. To shoot, move, kick, and turn the hands.
No, do we have such martial arts…
-Well. An unexpected attack at the right time is much more powerful than any flashy technique. Haven’t you ever heard the saying that when we reach the peak of a technique?
I have never heard of it. After mastering all the techniques, every movement — a single swing of a hand and a single stomp of a foot are all parts of a technique.
Right now, the Supreme Master of the Justice Faction was being used. In terms of the Demonic Sect, the warriors who reached that state were referred to as Supreme Demon.
All offense and defense were in accordance with the law, and if they wield it as we wish, that was the second and final hit.
If that was the case, what if it’s the experience of a person who has reached Profound Demon? Just thinking about it hurt.
-Looks a little wider. Get up. The guy who sometimes surprises me to the point of bizarre… uh? That guy is coming.
Kwak
The End Demon’s body bent slightly. At first glance, the footsteps that suddenly narrowed in the distance were followed by an explosive sword fight.
Its speed and power were both tremendous.
However, in the face of such a hit, the AI was thinking rushing in would be better.
-Just like shooting an arrow from the old point to the next point. Rush in. Six short hits. The player rushes in and the technique is to retreat and the movement is to revolve. If you move proactively and change positions three times at once…
This one’s attacks don’t reach the side. Good. Let’s try it.
Chak!
As soon as his thoughts were organized, the End Demon’s attack followed.
Seol-Hwi also rushed at him and immediately figured out what he was using by watching his movements.
The ultimate of Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts which he had experienced too many times in the past — one of the last of the attacks of the arts which annihilated everything in a certain area.
Papat!
“Uh!?”
However, the End Demon’s hit was not even attempted. It was because the moment he was about to attack, Seol-Hwi rushed in without stopping. For a moment, the End Demon doubted this.
But he belatedly noticed the unique way his form was stretching out with this illusion left behind. The body which was obviously on the right appeared to the left and then behind.
“This…!”
It was a technique which was close to the core without even using the legs and bending the knees. The End Demon hurriedly turned the attack and was attacking and retreating back, but Seol-Hwi was quick. It was not too late to respond.
The speed and movements were so swift that he could not follow them.
Pak!
“…?!!”
Dark muddy steps which touched the cheeks — a retreat that was not visible to the naked eye. And—
Pak! Pak! Tatatak!
“…Kuak!”
Standing on one leg, in that position, the sole of Seol-Hwi’s right foot swung across back and forth and hit his cheek.
It was a disgrace to be hit like that, so End Demon looked enraged.
“How dare this guy!”
Did this guy really just use that stinking kick at him, the Demonic Sect’s successor? The End Demon’s rage at witnessing the improbable reality was extremely high.
“Kuaaahhh…!”
Paak! Paak! Paaak!
Anyway, Seol-Hwi’s shoes continued to hit his cheeks left and right. At this point, the End Demon started a counter attack by using an energy shot to the right arm thinking he would die.
Puaak! Puaaak!
“Kuak…!”
This shocking slash landed on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. It had the feeling of being hit by a steel bar than just someone’s body.
The sword that he managed to pull out in the middle scattered like an illusion. The End Demon’s right arm was shattered at this.
“Kuaak, Ackk, euk…”
Tuk.
He fell to the ground with a scream.
Chak!
The broken arm was bent at an odd angle. The pain was excruciating. But the End Demon’s eyes were still glaring with killing intent. Like putting his last remaining energy into what he could.
Seol-Hwi asked,
“Last words?”
“How dare you treat this body like…”
The End Demon, who was gritting his teeth as he spoke, opened his eyes wide.
He saw it.
This round of flames burned in red.
“You cannot run from here.”
The Great Annihilation and Destroying Arts.
The absolute martial arts that he showed off when he faced off against the End Demon before.
“This…”
However, this time it was different.
The End Demon was quick to notice at that time, but now he no longer had the strength to fight back.
“Farewell.”
Kwaang!
As soon as the words ended, an explosive and great flame soared in the sky.
Dudududk
It was an energy which shook the entire land.
