Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 187

It seemed that Dang Hwa-young and the Dang family warriors had found everything they could by searching the Dang family grounds.

No matter how much more they searched, it would be useless.

Although some of the important things to find in the Dang family were recovered by the Dang family artisans and warriors who were loyal to Dang Hwa-young, the most important ones could not be found.

‘The Three Divine Artifacts.’

Uniquely, the Dang family’s world was maintained by the divided cores of the dungeon.

What Dang Hwa-young called the Three Divine Artifacts.

‘The Jar of Myriad King’s Poison.’

The first divine artifact was a jar that produced the Myriad King’s Poison, known as the most potent poison, capable of poisoning even a master of the Mystic Realm with just a single drop.

‘The Myriad Heavenly Flower Rain.’

It was also the Dang family’s signature martial art, but its performance as a divine artifact was.

‘The Infinite Dart Container.’

It was a dart container that could unleash tens of thousands of darts without worrying about their recovery.

And lastly.

‘The Dang Family Token.’

A token symbolizing the head of the Dang family.

It had the ability to neutralize ten thousand types of poison just by possessing it, and it also had the effect of increasing inner energy just by holding it, truly living up to the name of a divine artifact.

However, among these, the most important thing that Dang Hwa-young had to find was the third one.

“The Dang Family Token… we can’t find it.”

It was the Dang Family Token.

As Dang Hwa-young knew, it was the very link to the Soul Returning Divine Doctor.

However, none of the three divine artifacts remained in the Dang family.

The family head, who had betrayed the Dang family by joining hands with the Zhuge family, had taken the three divine artifacts and escaped.

There was another problem because of that.

“…….”

The Dang family’s subjugation.

When Lee Ro-woon subjugated a world, the core of the dungeon was essential.

The Dang family was now just an empty shell, as if it had no core.

“I’m sorry.”

Dang Hwa-young had asked Lee Ro-woon for help, but she didn’t have much to give him.

She bit her lip as if her pride was hurt and lowered her head.

“No.”

However, Lee Ro-woon said.

“You’ve worked hard so far.”

She had done everything she could.

She had also proven her worth.

‘The artisans who went with her.’

Just by confirming that they followed Dang Hwa-young and not the family head, she had proven her own value.

“Now, I’ll do it.”

So, it was his turn now.

“……?”

Apart from those with questioning faces, Lee Ro-woon was lost in thought with a languid look in his eyes.

While Dang Hwa-young was searching the Dang family, Lee Ro-woon had been feeling a strange sensation for some reason.

It wasn’t precise, but it felt like something was whispering.

-You can do it.

It was like a silent feeling that was whispering that the impossible was possible.

After waiting and waiting to grasp that feeling, Lee Ro-woon was now certain.

What had become possible.

“Step back.”

Swish!

At Lee Ro-woon’s words, everyone stepped back without resistance.

Because they had seen Lee Ro-woon’s abilities so far.

“What are you going to do again…”

They were sure that if he told them to step back, something big would happen.

“More.”

The further they moved away.

Lee Ro-woon stood alone in a circle formed by the warriors.

Lee Ro-woon slowly closed his eyes and stretched out his hand.

‘It shouldn’t be possible yet.’

Originally, it was something that could only be done after the Emperor’s Ring was mastered.

But he had to do it now.

Swoosh.

Tears of blood began to flow from Lee Ro-woon’s eyes.

Drop, drop.

The blood vessels bulged and the blood that burst out fell to the floor, creating small puddles.

What he had to do now was something that Lee Ro-woon had never succeeded in since returning to Earth.

‘The teachings of the two masters.’

The teachings of the Martial King and the Sword King.

To connect those two teachings into one.

The Martial King became the king of the world with a human body.

The Sword King drew out the power of weapons to become the king of the world.

The two masters were kings of their respective worlds, but their essence was different.

‘The foundation is different.’

The roots are different.

So, the ends are different.

There is a saying in Eun.

-All streams flow to the sea.

That everything eventually becomes one at the end.

That might not be wrong.

But where is that end?

‘The Realm of Life and Death? Ultimate Master?’

Where should the end be set?

The masters said.

-We.

The two of them.

-Did not reach the end.

That they ultimately did not reach the end.

What that meant was this.

The two could not become the same in the end.

No matter how much of a Martial King he was, he could not use the Sword King’s abilities, and vice versa.

But.

-You are different.

The three masters had built a new foundation from the beginning so that the three teachings could be completed.

That was what Lee Ro-woon had learned.

However, it was also something that could not be used until the foundation became solid and reached a certain level.

Snap.

But now, it seemed possible.

Lee Ro-woon’s hand slowly clenched as if grasping something in the air.

Whoosh!

The blood that had pooled under Lee Ro-woon’s feet surged up and began to form a vortex.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Vast power surged in, emitting shockwaves.

No one was making a fuss anymore.

Because Lee Ro-woon was a person who had shown them something greater than anything they had ever imagined.

Swish!

Lee Ro-woon’s swirling blood soon began to take shape.

Whoosh.

The boiling air calmed down, as serene as the ocean.

What Lee Ro-woon held in his hand was.

“A sword…”

It was a sword.

A dark, blood-colored sword.

It was just a sword, but.

Shudder.

Lee Ro-woon’s hand holding it was trembling like an aspen leaf.

“It’s still too much.”

The moment Lee Ro-woon, who was talking to himself, grabbed the sword with both hands.

Flash!

The sword grew in size, turning into a two-handed sword.

“Even so…”

He held the sword in reverse grip.

“I can do it once.”

Thud!

The blood sword pierced the ground, made of Hancheol [a metal as strong as mithril], known to be as strong as mithril, like tofu.

Swoosh!

It began to change everything, spraying blood.

Right now, Lee Ro-woon.

“Pierced…”

“The world?”

He had pierced the core of the Dang family.

***

In the end, the so-called divine artifacts were merely objects that materialized the power connected to the dungeon’s core.

In reality, the dungeon’s core always existed within that world.

However, it was in a sanctuary that could not be found or touched.

[Fragment of Eun, the Sichuan Dang family…]

But now, Lee Ro-woon had pierced that core with the blood sword he had created.

[Forced subjugation.]

Whoosh!

Along with the system message, the world began to change.

“Ugh!”

Feeling intense pain from the reverse flow of inner energy, blood gushed from Lee Ro-woon’s mouth, but this level of pain was nothing.

[The Sichuan Dang family…]

[The Sichuan Dang family…]

The messages that were heard could not even be properly checked.

What Lee Ro-woon was doing now was something that exceeded his current limits.

He just had to focus and focus again.

‘Succeed.’

How much time had passed?

“Huff… Huff…”

The blood sword that had been held in Lee Ro-woon’s hand scattered as if it were collapsing, and seeped back into Lee Ro-woon’s body.

Lee Ro-woon staggered as the blood sword, which had been supporting him like a cane, disappeared.

“When I see you like this, you need quite a bit of help.”

Ha Se-min, who had approached at some point, was supporting him.

“Watch your mouth.”

“It’s a relief. You seem to be fine.”

Lee Ro-woon soon regained his balance and stood up.

Lee Ro-woon stretched out his hand once more.

Thud!

The shock of the world shaking struck everyone.

Whoosh!

In that moment when the world flickered with bright light.

“N-no way…”

Dang Hwa-young and the Dang family warriors shouted in astonishment.

“Those are… !”

Where Lee Ro-woon’s hand was stretched out.

What appeared there were the three divine artifacts that the Dang family head had taken and disappeared with.

“Check them.”

At Lee Ro-woon’s words, Dang Hwa-young nodded and rushed out.

“Just a bit.”

Lee Ro-woon leaned a little more on Ha Se-min, who seemed to have expected it.

“Use me as much as you need.”

He had overdone it.

Drawing power from a realm that was still impossible for him.

Originally, it was something that was completely impossible, or something that could only be done by going berserk.

But he seemed to know how it was possible.

‘Has it awakened?’

Chaos.

That guy had added his strength.

Nothing could be heard.

-Hehe. Hehehe.

But for some reason, a strange laughter seemed to echo in his head.

‘Get lost.’

This time, he used his power to confirm it.

But there would be no next time.

The laughter faded as if it had understood Lee Ro-woon’s intention.

“They are the three divine artifacts… !”

At that moment, Dang Hwa-young finished her confirmation and spoke.

That would be the case.

Since divine artifacts were just borrowing the power of the dungeon’s core, it would be possible for Lee Ro-woon to recreate them.

“Then the original three divine artifacts are…?”

At Dang Hwa-young’s question, Lee Ro-woon chuckled and said.

“Why are you asking?”

Since a new real one had been created.

“Those ones will have lost their power.”

* * *

Thud.

A warrior taking a strong fist salute.

He looked old, but his physique was robust, and his white beard was.

‘He looks like Zhang Fei [a famous general from the Three Kingdoms period].’

He looked like Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms.

“I greet the Lord!”

His voice was also booming, and the energy emanating from him was also immense.

“I am Peng Ak-hu, the head of the Peng family.”

This man was Peng Ak-hu, the head of the Peng family, one of the Five Great Clans.

Lee Ro-woon looked at him with curious eyes.

In the incident that happened in Japan, he had lost the main forces of the Peng family, and even the young family head had been killed.

By none other than Lee Ro-woon’s people.

“I wish to join the Preparedness.”

He heard that he wanted to join the Preparedness.

-There’s no need to think too complicatedly about the Peng family.

Namgung Cheon had given him a heads-up.

-They are simply the ones most faithful to the logic of power.

Everything in the Peng family was determined by the logic of power.

The young family head had died simply because he was weak.

The same was true for the Peng family’s elites who had died.

The head of the Peng family was simply someone who only thought about making the Peng family stronger and only worked for that purpose.

-So, don’t think too deeply about it.

Their intention to join the Preparedness was because they thought the balance of power had been broken, and it was also to follow the will of the Namgung family.

“I permit it.”

That was enough.

Thud.

Peng Ak-hu took a fist salute once more and said.

“I greet the Alliance Lord.”

With that, the matter of the Peng family was settled for now.

The Five Great Clans that dominated Japan.

All of them except the Zhuge family were now in Lee Ro-woon’s grasp.

“For the time being, it would be better to keep silent about the Alliance’s rise to power.”

At Namgung Cheon’s words, Lee Ro-woon nodded.

“I will completely unite the clans in Japan and take away the power of the council.”

Namgung Cheon had completely turned his back.

He was the one who had wanted to eradicate the demons, but now the boundary between good and evil was no longer clear.

Now was not the era of good and evil.

‘The era of will.’

What mattered was where one placed their will.

Namgung Cheon, who was originally the Heavenly Council Lord, would be able to change many things quickly with his help.

‘Kang Eun-ha.’

The problem was that the position of the Eunha Guild Master was vacant due to Kang Eun-ha’s death.

He had thought of several candidates, but none of them were to his liking.

In the end, what Lee Ro-woon chose was.

“Dang Hwa-young.”

“Yes, Alliance Lord.”

“Do well.”

Dang Hwa-young, she was to become the Guild Master of the Eunha Guild.

The measures and arrangements for the forces of Eun were roughly finished.

The reason why this had to be done quickly was.

“I’ll leave everything to you while I’m gone.”

Because Lee Ro-woon would be leaving his position for a while.
