The Demonic Sect’s Supreme Demon and the Justice Faction’s Supreme Master—
It was a level which required experience and an awakening after breaking through the wall, and they were at a different level at the end of martial arts.
This…
Usually, they were regarded as the same step, but the path for them was completely different. In the case of the Supreme Demon, it started with just one stage, and then the end came when one stepped into the Profound Demon stage.
On the other hand, Supreme Master meant a stage of union with the sword. In other words, it had a purpose for being called as such. In addition, in the Justice Faction, it referred to the process of changing the true energy and divine energy.
And like this, the limit of martial arts which was used by both sides had limitations and needed to be developed in their own manner.
So—
Which side would you like to take? ?Supreme Master ?Supreme Demon
9… 8…
Seol-Hwi was confused as the question came.
Looking at the current situation, it went without saying that he would choose Supreme Demon.
But why would the system even ask such questions?
If I chose Supreme Master…
He would walk down an unknown path. The source of demonic arts was the demonic martial arts.
However, it was unknown how great the achievement would be if he changed the fundamentals of the energy to the Justice Faction.
The skills of the Heavenly Demon whom he would always meet as enemy was presumed to have reached the point after one went past Profound Demon. Would it be possible to change to another form of internal energy and touch the level of Profound Master after Supreme Master?
Not likely.
It would be hard. Let alone Supreme Master surpassing, it would be difficult to even reach the end of Supreme Master.
On the other hand, if he chose Supreme Demon, he could aim for the Profound Demon stage at any point in time.
If it was Seol-Hwi, with Cheon Miryo nearby, he might even get help from her, so it was right to choose Supreme Demon.
AI, why didn’t you tell me about this?
But the question remained.
He wondered if he was relying too much on the AI, but considering its nature, the AI should have said something.
On what to choose or what the dangers will be, anything which could help him.
But, come to think of it, he did not.
Which of the two choices to pick?
No. No. Even if it was familiar…
Seol-Hwi, who was about to choose Supreme Demon, inhaled.
<You have selected Supreme Master.>
“…!”
Seol-Hwi looked shocked for a second.
Fuck!
He was in deep thought and time had passed, so the system automatically chose for him.
Wait. It is decided to be…
This was bad. Supreme Demon was what he wanted to choose, and now he could not get to Profound Demon.
Now that this happened, even if he wanted to deal with the Heavenly Demon, he would have to use the Justice Faction’s martial arts…
It was a very uncertain path for Seol-Hwi.
<Player Seol-Hwi has chosen Supreme Master.> <Warning! Due to the nature of the Justice Faction’s martial arts, you will be unable to use the special skills of the Demonic Sect.> <Inflicts up to 50% additional damage to warriors who learned Demonic Arts.> <The Justice Faction’s skills have increased your internal energy.>
“Hmm….”
The text continued, and all of them contained content that made Seol-Hwi frown.
Then, at some point, something unexpected happened.
<You have learned of the Tomb of Taiji.>
Taiji… Tomb?
This was something which made the gaze of Seol-Hwi stick around.
*Taiji Special Skill Table* [Final Stage] [Tomb of Taiji]: ↓↓↓ (Softly) A or B
It was somehow familiar. He had not seen it himself, but could it be a prediction of what the skill was like among the techniques of Taiji Arts?
It was said that using the power of this was to return the weight of a thousand pounds like a mountain, like the most exceptional skill of deflecting the attack of the opponent.
The most difficult to deal with of the warriors of Demonic Sect were those who tried to crush the enemies with pure force, and if such a skill came out now then…?
Well, that was not all.
<You have learned the Taiji Sword.>
The martial arts related to Taiji continued to roll in, and this time it was a better technique.
*Taiji Sword Special Skill Table* [Final Stage] [Taiji Heavenly Fall]: ↑ ↓↓↓ A or B
No way!?
The Taiji Sword which was referred to as the best of the Taiji Arts and is its own special skill—the skill which was on par with those of the Supreme Demon level arts in the past.
T-this is…
Unable to decide on whether to laugh or cry, Seol-Hwi, who could not adapt to all this, tried to step ahead. The text popped into his head and eyes looked ahead, showing he was not tired.
<Ting! The understanding for Seol-Hwi’s demonic arts has surpassed Supreme Demon.> <A new section of martial arts has been unlocked. From now on, it is necessary to change the martial arts you pursue.> <Supreme Master ON> <Supreme Demon OFF>
What is this now…
Seol-Hwi was shocked at this. He could change the settings as he wished?
Was this even possible?
Let’s look at the words on.
<Supreme Demon ON> <Supreme Master OFF>
The writing appeared like this, and the explanation continued calmly.
<Warning! Due to the power of the demonic arts, you will be unable to use special skills of the Justice Faction.> <Inflicts up to 60% additional damage to warriors who mastered the Justice Faction’s martial arts.> <By having the Demonic Sect’s internal energy, it inflicts additional damage from demonic poison to those who use the Justice Faction’s martial arts.>
This was the same as before. If they forcibly used a martial art with the opposite attribute, then the strength of it decreases.
However, Seol-Hwi was shocked for another reason.
“This is such an overpowered ability…”
In this way, regardless of which faction’s martial arts, he could use them as he pleased. He could become Supreme Master when he needed to and also Supreme Demon when the situation called for it.
How could this be used strategically? Well, obviously it brought a lot of benefits because he could use the best martial arts skills depending on his opponent.
“Well, I have no idea what he is talking about…”
When Wang Mo-ryeok stepped ahead, Seol-Hwi who stepped ahead first had been mumbling to himself for a long while.
Flutter! Pak!
Feeling somewhat ignored, Wang Mo-ryeok began to step in further with his hands clenched.
“I will kill you with one hit.”
Papapat!
With those words, the eyes of the rest of the members widened. This was because the old man moved so fast that it was basically invisible to the rest of them.
And the eyes of Seol-Hwi, which looked blank for a long time, shone again.
Supreme Master!
<Supreme Master ON>
The text came up, and when Wang Mo-ryeok vanished and came close, the eyes of Seol-Hwi changed again.
<Tomb of Taiji is being used.>
Just because of that—
Weik!
In the blink of an eye, the air flow was evident. Initially he did not know what this was, but after a while he understood it.
Martial Palm.
It was an extremely strong technique which Wang Mo-ryeok was quite confident about, and it was the air flow around the body.
Shh
Like that, the Tomb of Taiji passed the body of Seol-Hwi the way he imagined it to.
Like the old simulation…
Seol-Hwi had experienced this situation in the past. The system provided many simulations and were based on the attack’s potential paths.
However, the flow of the Tomb of Taiji was not like that. The gentleness of the Taiji martial arts reacting to the sharpness of the opponent was such that the attack of the opponent flowed in smoothly without colliding.
“Hmm?”
Papat!
Wang Mo-ryeok moved very swiftly. He was also a man who made a name for himself as a Supreme Demon Warrior.
When his own attack missed, he immediately used footwork which would trick the eyes of the opponent and changed direction.
Bababa!
A new form which moved to the left and right, a tactic to dig into the openings of the opponent, but… Seol-Hwi was quite familiar with this.
“Phew.”
Tomb of Taiji detected the flow of the opponent’s movement. And even before Wang Mo-ryeok’s movements were fully unfolded, the hands and feet were already prepared.
Shh-
The heels of his feet which gave strong balance along with his hands being brought together to the chest to draw a circle—
Sssssk-
The foundation of the Taiji Sword.
It was a move that accurately contained the understanding of Taiji, to subdue the strength with softness.
Chaaaak!
The neck of the old man fell on the gently curved blade.
“…?”
“…Huk!”
Everyone who saw it was speechless for a moment, the power of the Supreme Demon Warrior.
The warrior who was ranked somewhere at 60th in the sect, lost his life without being able to handle the sword of the opponent.
“Wow this… another thing…”
The expression of Seol-Hwi, who used the Tomb of Taiji, was a little happy. This was surely different from the simulation.
It was not just about ignoring the flow of the opponent or taking a hit, the Tomb of Taiji could read and capture all the flows of left, right, up, down, outside, and inside.
Why did the warriors of the Justice Faction raise their hands up when Taiji Arts get mentioned? Seol-Hwi finally understood why people turned arrogant about this.
“Now. This…”
Tuk
Seol-Hwi brushed the blood off his blade and checked the elders ahead with a smile on his face.
“It is time to be judged.”
It was a shocking scene. Things had turned into a massacre.
Thud! Kwang!
Explosions occurred, and sword energy and blade energy came with nothing being done to him. All of the rest of them were decapitated.
Slash! Wheik!
As if in a well organized spar, Seol-Hwi let the enemies attack fall around, and then the heads of escorts flew up. When his sword was rotated, the elders’ heads also fell.
“Phew.”
When Seol-Hwi stopped for a moment, the enemies were in shock. There was only one surviving elder along with three escorts.
“You are the last one?”
“…”
The surviving elder was scared. Seol-Hwi reflected the God of Martial Arts within him. So no enemy could stand before him.
“The will… doesn’t have to be learned right?”
“Huk…!”
When Seol-Hwi smiled while holding his sword, the elder stepped back with eyes wondering if he had to run or die.
Tuk
Then someone tapped him on the shoulder.
“Ehh.”
It was an old man with a thin body, along with an odd long spear.
“E-elder.”
Seeing the old man, this elder bowed his head.
“D-did I come too late?”
Without even looking at him, the old man with black and white hair turned to Seol-Hwi.
“Ah, what is your name?”
“…”
Seol-Hwi stiffened at his presence.
Supreme Demon Warrior!
He could feel it. The opponent who came had risen to the top. The perfect Supreme Demon who could not be compared with Wang Mo-ryeok.
“Seol-Hwi. You?”
As he said it, the old man nodded.
“Ah. The name of the person that has been going around these days… right, my name is…
“Sima Ryang. I serve the Third Disciple.”
“…So it is you.”
The moment he heard the name, Seol-Hwi’s eyes changed.
Finally this one came.
The strongest below the Third Disciple. Only rumors went around of the Absolute Warrior who everyone was unsure of whether they existed or not.
