-This is a rampage.

Black Heaven, with arms crossed, said,

-It’s not just a simple rampage. This technique is almost embarrassing to call a technique.

“Is it that severe?”

-Yes. If master uses this technique, you can survive most threats. In other words, it could be the last resort. However, I wish the master would not resort to this power.

“Why?”

-This power is too dangerous. It begins with the destruction of Black Heaven, the foundation of Black God Martial Arts. Master, by destroying Black Heaven, you’re forsaking ‘the future’ for power.

Black Heaven assessed the rampage in that manner.

Sacrificing all future gains and bringing potential into the present.

-I don’t understand. Why would someone create such a technique? Overloading Black Heaven to boost ability for a moment. That might be possible, but destroying Black Heaven? Why?

“Calm down.”

-I can’t grasp the previous master’s thought process. It’s not an expansion of the vessel. It’s breaking the vessel once. Not moving on after breaking the vessel, but for the sake of a moment, breaking the vessel and restricting the master’s growth.

Despite saying so, Black Heaven taught me the rampage.

She said she had no choice but to teach me, being bound to the Black Heavenly Demon Sword. There must have been some restrictions placed.

-So, don’t use it. They say a broken vessel becomes stronger, but Black Heaven is a different story. Once broken, it’s over. Afterwards, even with the master’s Energy of Defying Heaven control, you’ll barely manage with the unstable Black Heaven. It’s a story about giving up on transcendence.

Black Heaven cautioned me several times.

‘And that’s also why I wanted to teach you, by placing those restrictions.’

The moment I used the rampage, Heavenly Demon’s Descent, I was told everything would return to nothingness and I must accumulate enemy attacks from there.

But now, I had no choice.

My life was in danger before the vessel. Perhaps the Heavenly Demon had anticipated such a situation when creating this technique.

I prepared to activate the rampage.

“To you, this power may seem exceedingly generous. Die knowing it’s an honor.”

[World Erosion]

His words were etched into the world.

Swoosh!

Simultaneously, a red light burst forth from his chest—an ominously ill-omened light. The sky turned red, and tentacle-like entities began to emerge from beneath the buildings.

The faces of the knight order were painted with despair. Enjoying that, Kallia laughed.

[Hell Path of Mara Heavenly Thunder]

Kallia’s words started to erode the world within a 50m radius. The blood-drenched sky hovered above, and black pillars resembling tentacles sprouted from various locations.

He was covering the world with his dominion.

In this state, Kallia wielded absolute power. This place was under his authority.

Facing Kallia in this state was difficult. Kim Ara and Seo Ga-yeon had to be there a year later.

“Lee Seo-ha, you said.”

Gilliam stood next to me and spoke,

“Once? Just one strike to somehow create a path.”

“……”

“Run away. You shouldn’t die in such a place.”

Gilliam turned to the knight order with a stern look.

“I’m sorry. For making you risk your lives in foreign affairs. And I’m sorry. My inadequacy has forced you to risk your lives.”

“It’s okay, captain. What, it’s not the first or second time you’ve acted as you pleased.”

“If we have to die here anyway, it’s right to save those who can be saved. And if it’s that boy, he’ll eventually seek revenge.”

The knights gathered their holiness and spoke, each holding their weapons. They spoke playfully, yet with unwavering determination.

-How amusing. Do you think I would let myself escape from here? Especially the most coveted vessel?

Kallia lightly raised his hand.

Kuuuuung!

In the red sky, something gigantic began to unfold. What fully opened was a colossal eye.

A bright red pupil. It gazed down upon us.

The iris gazed at us, and I felt a strong pressure—a force that seemed to forcibly lower one’s own level by a notch.

Distortion.

It didn’t just mean the distortion of space. It distorted the power within the laws to suit its own taste.

Such an absurd power, but at the highest level, this kind of power was exhibited.

I placed my hand over my heart.

I tuned the Energy of Defying Heaven with Black God Martial Arts. The Energy of Defying Heaven surged. Black Heaven screamed.

As if warning me that continuing this would put me in danger, it blared warnings.

“So what.”

If I don’t use this here, I’m dead anyway.

And even if I die, I won’t become Kallia’s host. My life was for me to decide. You can’t decide. Even if my life was extinguished.

Crack.

From my heart. I heard something crack, and then it broke.

-Stop!

Realizing what I was about to do, Kallia shouted in an urgent voice.

-I’ll spare you! If you promise to stay put, I’ll spare them all.

It’s a lie.

If Kallia made me a host, he would kill them one by one in front of their families. He’s that kind of person. All of them were.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

As Black Heaven cracked, it soon screamed and shattered.

Thump.

Simultaneously, an enormous amount of Energy of Defying Heaven poured out from Black Heaven.

And.

A black, impure power rose against the world’s laws.


-…What is this?

Kallia looked at Lee Seo-ha and was on guard. And involuntarily, he flinched.

-Am I guarding against a mere mid-level?

Realizing this, Kallia was dumbfounded.

Especially since this was a space eroded by his own world, a kind of authority formed by his power. Here, he was almost invincible.

Because even a transcendent being could only last for a time unit in this space.

Yet, Kallia did not let his guard down.

He felt that something ominous was about to happen.

A being stood up. That was the only way it could be described.

An impure, black color took on a human form. There was no sign of Lee Seo-ha.

A being of pure black revealed itself, and Kallia understood what it was guarding against.

That was something fatal to Mines.

In an instant, it captured everyone’s attention and, with a mere gesture, erased thousands of magic soldiers. It wielded a power akin to the mysterious force that erases Mines.

If that force affirmed the death of Mines, this power denied its own existence.

-Is this your last struggle?

“It feels strange. As if my body has disappeared.”

The being, formerly known as Lee Seo-ha, responded to Kallia’s words as if it didn’t care about its own existence.

It seemed confident in its ability to kill him at any moment.

“No, rather, is it because I’m here that I can exert such power? It feels like the limits themselves have shattered.”

The being assessed its own level briefly.

A force that forcibly unlocked potential.

And Lee Seo-ha realized.

This space granted him an extremely familiar power. He realized he could reach this level because he used the rampage here.

The demonic energy in this place elevated his level by one.

“…Now I want to gain more than what I was supposed to.”

If there’s a future, that is.

Lee Seo-ha sneered and lightly lifted his hand.

Koogooogung─!

The gigantic eye that filled the sky began to forcefully close. The eye that emerged from there watched me. So what. Lee Seo-ha smirked and scoffed.

-What? Why is the eye…?

“…My goodness.”

Gilliam looked at the sky with a dazed expression.

‘Am I dreaming right now?’

For some reason, Kallia, having received power from an extraterrestrial being, opened that eye, but Lee Seo-ha closed it with a gesture.

This meant that Lee Seo-ha was dominating this space.

“Heavenly Demon, huh? So that’s what it means. A power that allows me to manipulate demonic energy as I wish.”

Lee Seo-ha murmured and took a step forward.

Black Sky Step.

Click.

One step. Just one step was taken. But suddenly, Lee Seo-ha was beside Kallia.

The being nonchalantly crossed over his death line.

‘Insane! This is absurd!’

He was of the highest level.

Even implementing his own world in this space. It’s impossible for even a transcendent being to exert such power in their own space.

He swung his arm, wrapped in the light of destruction.

Sword qi.

And he brought out an extraterrestrial power.

Distortion.

Adding his world to it.

Demonic energy descended from the blood-red sky.

Kallia unleashed his power. Six arms surrounded by distortion, coated with sword qi. A force that tore through space directed at Lee Seo-ha. This power alone could reduce even a decent-sized city to ashes. In terms of destructive power, it could be compared to a nuclear bomb.

Lee Seo-ha lightly gestured. The six arms clashed with the gesture.

Tong.

A light sound. But the outcome was not light.

Kallia’s six arms turned to dust with the gesture. Ash fluttered. The gesture pierced through Kallia’s torso, creating a huge hole.

-…This can’t be happening.

Kallia muttered in a hollow voice.

Ash fluttered. The blood sky began to close. Lee Seo-ha felt his existence dispersing.

As the blood sky closed, the level decreased since the Hell Path of Mara Heavenly Thunder had elevated his level by one.

At the same time, the existence dispersed.

The time for the rampage was ending.

‘Is it over?’

Something felt unfair. Wasn’t the difficulty too insane? If it weren’t for him, at least three transcendent beings might have been lost here.

[Your Conceptual Stat Energy of Defying Heaven has increased by 20.]

“…Oh.”

Lee Seo-ha exclaimed in admiration at the tremendous amount of Energy of Defying Heaven he gained. At this rate, the Energy of Defying Heaven almost seemed to have doubled.

The highest level was indeed different.

But it was also sad. Now that Black Heaven was broken, he wasn’t sure what he could do.

As he reached this thought, the Energy of Defying Heaven began to spontaneously reconstruct his heart.

‘What is this?’

-I didn’t expect you to use it already.

He heard Black Heaven’s voice.

She sounded as if she was in a different mood than usual. And then he realized that at some point, he was in a pure white space.

In the center.

There was a black throne. Black Heaven sat there comfortably, legs crossed, looking at me with an interested smile.

‘No, is that Black Heaven?’

The atmosphere was different. If looking for a similar atmosphere, it was closer to The Overlord.

An aura of dominion wrapped around her, ruling as she pleased, with the will to destroy anything that stood in her way.

“Hello. Nice to meet you, junior. Shall I introduce myself formally?”

She looked at me with a smile as if she was pleased.

“I am the Heavenly Demon. The 10th Heavenly Demon, the founder of Black God Martial Arts, and I am Black Heaven.”

She had a joyous smile, as if she had revealed a tremendous secret.
