Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 204

Shouts that Viper, who was said to have disappeared, had appeared echoed from all directions.

There was no need to ascertain the truth of those words.

“Kuh-uhk!”

The screams that followed.

Goo-ooo!

The boiling atmosphere clearly showed that one of the Five Kings of the lawless zone had indeed invaded this place.

“Run….”

One of the Five Kings.

Being a king of the lawless zone was not just like being the head of a group.

“Run away!”

It meant that one had to reign with that much power to be a king of the lawless zone.

The enemies being swept away.

The enemies running away.

“What the hell is going on…?”

The squad members couldn’t hide their bewilderment, but.

Swoosh, nod.

They made eye contact with each other, judging how best to use this situation.

Number 2 and Baek Cheong, who were fighting the Greatsword Warrior and Gigantes, also reached a lull.

A situation where someone could aim for their backs had arisen.

“Shouldn’t you guys be running away too?”

As Baek Cheong spoke mockingly, Gigantes’ large face contorted.

“Run away?”

With Gigantes’ heavy voice, Baek Cheong felt her nerves prickle.

‘He was hiding his power?’

Just as they hadn’t used martial arts, it seemed that Gigantes and the Greatsword Warrior also had more hidden power.

“From the start, our goal wasn’t you guys.”

Gigantes and the Greatsword Warrior made eye contact.

“It was to catch Viper. That guy.”

“Lucky you. We’ll have to stop here.”

Gigantes and the Greatsword Warrior slightly retreated.

“Viper is not worthy of the name of the king of the lawless zone.”

The Greatsword Warrior said.

The king of the lawless zone, it was a position that held immense power, incomparable to the head of a sect.

If they wanted to kill, they could kill, and if they wanted to take, they could take.

It meant the position of a king who stood above all, in the truest sense of the word.

However.

“Viper doesn’t even handle that power properly. It’s too good for him.”

That was why the Greatsword Warrior and Gigantes had grown stronger and stayed hidden, to become the king of the lawless zone.

King.

To sit in that position.

“Will you continue? It seems it will take quite a while for Viper to get here.”

The Greatsword Warrior spoke with a relaxed attitude.

Baek Cheong and Number 2 made eye contact.

-Let them go.

After all, they weren’t the enemies the special squad was after.

If this standoff continued, they would eventually have to use martial arts.

Nod.

That was why this was the right thing to do.

“Thank you.”

The Greatsword Warrior took a step back.

“Then….”

Swoosh.

His figure disappeared.

Gigantes also turned his body and began to walk away with his heavy gait.

Already halfway through the formation.

“Save me!”

Towards Viper.

* * *

“Amitabha….”

Viper, muttering, tore two people apart with one hand and said.

“My ass.”

A sneer appeared on his lips.

Viper, a disciple of Shaolin [a Buddhist monastery known for its martial arts].

He had lived under numerous precepts, such as abstaining from killing and meat.

However.

“What good are those things now?”

He was already a defrocked monk.

He had broken the precepts and stained his hands with indelible blood.

Also, Shaolin was no longer a place bound by precepts.

Blood Monk.

The reality was that his own disciple, who had stained his hands with countless blood, was being considered as the next abbot of Shaolin.

Furthermore.

“There’s no reason to pray for the souls of you bastards who are worse than dogs.”

Crack!

Another head was smashed like a watermelon.

The lawless zone.

Viper, who had refrained from shedding meaningless blood, had always planned to clean it up one day.

Because the lawless zone was called a haven for those who had committed serious crimes like murder and robbery and had run away.

Crack!

Most of the people here were trash.

“S, save me….”

“No.”

Viper’s finger, like a shot, pierced through a heart.

“Damn it, die!”

“Who?”

Viper’s opposite finger, spinning around, pierced into a head.

By now, the surroundings were almost cleared up.

“From the start, those with a sane mind wouldn’t cause a riot just because I disappeared.”

Viper said, snarling fiercely.

But he soon regained his senses and looked behind him.

Viper was not alone.

“Why? It’s fun. You can keep going.”

Lee Rowan.

“…I seem to have gotten a bit excited.”

His benefactor.

Although everything was not over yet, the benefactor who had awakened the desire for life that he had given up on.

“Behind you.”

At the voice that was heard.

“…!”

Viper’s eyes widened, and he spun his body around.

Clang!

Sparks flew from his finger.

Thud!

At the spot where Viper had quickly stepped back, a giant fist slammed down and exploded.

Kuwah-ah-ahng!

The figures that appeared from the thick dust.

They were people Viper knew as well.

“Greatsword Warrior….”

The ones who had been sent to the battlefield by the Assembly [a governing body].

Among them, the worst and most heinous, a murderer who had slaughtered countless knights and mages, and later even the Assembly’s warriors.

“Gigantes.”

A man called a monster because of his special job and skills, even though he was a player.

A high-ranker who had once fallen into madness, slaughtered two guilds and a high-ranking knight order, and then ran away.

Even though Viper was indifferent to his domain, he knew about these two dangerous individuals.

Moreover.

“It’s different from what’s known?”

The energy felt from them was different from what was known to the world.

“Those who prepare for a hunt must do their best.”

“The gates in the lawless zone are high-level.”

A place where two realms met.

That was why the distortion of dimensions was also severe.

The gates that appeared in the lawless zone were generally high-level.

Also, since the Association, the Assembly, the Empire, etc., could not interfere, the only qualification to capture the gates here was power.

Gigantes and the Greatsword Warrior had almost monopolized the gates here.

The Greatsword Warrior was unknown, but Gigantes.

Throb.

He had grown from the level of a high-ranker, where it was difficult to raise even a single level.

“Viper.”

Gigantes called out to Viper.

“You’ll have to hand over the king’s seat.”

Goo-goo-goong.

The energies emanating from them collided, creating sparks.

“The king’s seat….”

At that, Viper distorted his lips and said.

“If I could give it away, I would have given it away right now.”

It was a sneer.

“…?”

“Do you think anyone wants to sit in this seat? You must be seriously mistaken.”

Woo-oong.

Light began to swirl from Viper’s fingers as well.

Jigang.

A radiant golden aura.

“This seat is not something you can take just because you want to. It’s not a seat I wanted to sit in either.”

Viper, who was saying that, laughed.

“It’s real, it’s not restricted by the golden rule.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense?”

“I guess you have no intention of giving it up willingly.”

The first to move was.

Swoosh.

The Greatsword Warrior, the moment his sword came out of its sheath.

Clang!

It collided with Viper’s hand, creating sparks.

Following that, Gigantes’ giant fist fell.

Kwah-ah-ahng!

In that cloud of dust, Viper was grabbing Gigantes’ fist and crushing it.

“How!”

Gigantes shouted in shock.

He was confident that he would never be pushed back by force.

Moreover, the new skill he had obtained while leveling up.

[Giant’s Iron Fist]

This skill was an unbelievable ability that prevented him from being pushed back even if his aura clashed with a bare body.

That was why he was confident that he would not be pushed back even if he clashed with Viper, who was known as a martial artist, but.

Crack!

Gigantes’ fist was crushed.

“And you seem to not know this either.”

Viper, who had crushed Gigantes’ fist with one hand, said with a sneer as well.

“Being a king is not just about having a title.”

The Five Kings of the lawless zone.

Were they the five strongest people in the lawless zone?

Or were they the ones who had seized the area by force?

It was not like that.

Grind.

They were beings who were forced to be chosen as kings and were subordinate to this place.

That was why there was an advantage to it.

As if they were recognized as the king of a world, their power within that domain.

Kwah-ah-ahk!

Evolved to another level.

A power that forcibly transcended realms without any effort.

That was the power of a king.

“Kuh-ah-ah-ahk!”

Gigantes, whose fist had been torn off, screamed and retreated.

“Aren’t you going to help?”

Viper said, turning to the Greatsword Warrior.

“…We’re not that close.”

“Well, I’m not expecting anything from you either.”

“Still.”

The Greatsword Warrior’s sword sheath was raised once again.

“My desire to kill you remains unchanged.”

The Greatsword Warrior’s swordsmanship, cutting through space and jumping.

Viper crossed his hands to block it, but.

“…?”

He felt no change from him.

“Viper, who was said to be alone, brought a burden today.”

A smile bloomed on the Greatsword Warrior’s lips.

“You, you’re protecting that guy, right?”

The space in front of the oriental man, who was standing quietly in a corner behind Viper, distorted.

“I’ll have to get rid of that guy first.”

For the Greatsword Warrior, it was the best he could do.

Even they, who had grown, could not stop Viper, so to face him, they had to create an opening.

For the world’s Viper to protect someone like that.

He couldn’t miss this opportunity….

“There are many ways to commit suicide.”

Viper’s voice.

“You’re committing suicide in a novel way. You idiots.”

That was when.

‘Why…?’

The Greatsword Warrior’s gaze kept falling to the ground.

He was clearly standing upright, but why was his gaze….

Koo-oong!

And what was this heavy sound that echoed?

“It’s a unique technique, but it’s still just a grab.”

The voice that was heard was gradually getting closer.

“You don’t understand what it really means to cut through space. That’s why you can’t develop any further.”

Ah.

The Greatsword Warrior finally realized his own situation.

Thud.

My head has fallen off.

* * *

The corpses of the Greatsword Warrior and Gigantes were scattered about.

The corpses of the two strongest people in the domain, excluding Viper.

With that.

Clang.

There was no more riot.

They threw down their weapons and knelt.

Even those without laws valued their lives above all else.

There was no more chance of winning.

“Bring them all in.”

The king had returned.

“What are you doing?”

Those who had knelt raised their heads at Viper’s voice.

“Bring all the bastards who caused this mess, you bastards!”

Those who had dropped their weapons quickly began to move.

With this, the entire situation was being resolved.

But among them, there was a group that was standing far away, hesitating.

“Are they acquaintances?”

At Viper’s words, Lee Rowan nodded.

At that moment, a telepathic message was heard in Lee Rowan’s ear.

-What the hell….

Baek Cheong’s voice.

-What have you done?

A telepathic message mixed with shock, absurdity, and bewilderment.

-Come here.

-Did you reveal your identity?

-Not really. And they wouldn’t be interested anyway.

Baek Cheong hesitated again and let out a deep sigh.

After telling the squad members something, she led them towards this side.

It wasn’t just Baek Cheong who was bewildered, the squad members were the same.

As they accepted Viper’s venomous gaze, they nervously placed their hands on their sword hilts.

“I heard they are the benefactor’s group! I will provide all the conveniences, so feel free to stay here!”

Good grief.

“You….”

Baek Cheong shook her head.
