Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 252

“Please help us…!”

Yoo Shin-haeng’s cry.

He was a martial artist, and he thought of himself as such.

Also, the opponent.

Swoosh.

Lee Rowoon.

He knew him as a player, not a martial artist, and that he belonged to the righteous army, opposing Eun [a realm or faction].

However.

“Pleease-!”

At this moment, Yoo Shin-haeng shouted.

“Please help us!”

Martial artist or player, Eun or Earth, it didn’t matter.

“So that no more blood flows!”

He cried out.

“So that no more lives are lost in vain!”

A being that should never be mixed with, never asked for help from.

Yoo Shin-haeng shouted to such a being.

“Please help us.”

The head of a sect, not just a mere martial artist.

The master of a ruling power that dominated a region, bowed his head and asked for help from Lee Rowoon, who was known as a player and a resident of Earth.

He should have thought about what that meant, but not now.

Finally, Lee Rowoon’s mouth opened.

“I will.”

A sign of agreement.

And.

Thud.

Everything stopped.

Whoooom.

A huge energy spread out.

Shudder.

The tip of the sword of the martial artist wielding it was trembling, and the body that was slicing through the martial artist with its transformed arm stopped.

At this moment, the one dominating the battlefield was Lee Rowoon.

“Who are you?”

A Blood Demon, a cadre of the enemy army, and a man with his eyes bandaged, spoke.

He was moving his body slightly within Lee Rowoon’s aura.

“Who the hell are you!”

He was emitting a rather intense aura.

“You are…”

The Blood Demon pushed back the aura and spoke.

He had lost his eyes in exchange for power.

However, he could see the world clearly.

Black was internal energy.

Blue was magic power.

The world he saw was…

“Who are you-!”

It should have existed only in those two colors.

Thud.

The color of the being that appeared before his eyes was different.

A deep gray.

It was a color that even the Blood Demon, Jang Je-ho, had never seen before.

Flutter.

The bandage that was binding his eyes came loose and flew away in the wind.

When his eyes, stained with blood even in the whites, finally opened the widest.

Whoooom!

In an instant, he pushed back Lee Rowoon’s aura and kicked off the ground.

A color he had never seen before.

What he felt from that unfamiliar thing was a terrible fear.

‘I have to kill him.’

Who the opponent was, what they were, could come later.

Right now.

Whoosh!

The Blood Demon pierced Lee Rowoon with one arm transformed into a spear.

The enemy soldiers, who received his signal, threw their half-monster bodies and rushed towards Lee Rowoon.

The moment he thought he would finally reach his opponent.

Flames!

Blue flames flared up.

Whoosh!

They engulfed their bodies.

Flick!

The Blood Demon pushed back the flames and retreated.

However, the enemy soldiers who were not as strong as the Blood Demon were engulfed in the blue flames and burned away.

“You are…”

This time it was different.

This time, he knew who the opponent was.

“Lee Shinwoo-!”

“It’s been a while, Jang Je-ho.”

Lee Shinwoo, who had revealed himself.

He said, touching his half-covered blue mask.

“Did you even lose your eyes?”

Jang Je-ho trembled.

Lee Shinwoo was an enemy of the enemy army.

Also, a traitor who betrayed his father.

Other Blood Demons might have talked to Lee Shinwoo, but.

Whoosh!

He was different.

Jang Je-ho’s forehead began to split vertically.

Small wounds began to open all over his body.

What was revealed inside were grotesque eyeballs.

Goooh!

In an instant, Jang Je-ho’s aura doubled.

He was already using intense magic power to push back Lee Rowoon’s aura.

Kooong!

Now, he was controlling even more immense magic power, as if he had become a monster.

Even Lee Shinwoo, who could interfere with players.

“Kuh!”

He staggered back from the intense magic power.

“I’ll kill you.”

The monster said.

“I will kill you.”

That was the only true feeling he could express.

The arm that had transformed into a spear with several eyeballs tore through space in an instant and rushed towards Lee Rowoon.

“I need to properly…”

A voice was heard.

“Engrave it.”

Clang!

Jang Je-ho was thrown back.

His right arm was gone.

Jang Je-ho had now opened his sealed eyes.

His vision, which was not usually visible, had returned.

But.

‘Black?’

The world in his vision was dark.

Jang Je-ho slowly raised his head.

“Because it’s a place to announce a new beginning.”

A voice was heard.

Flutter.

“I will no longer stand by. I will now acknowledge it.”

Jang Je-ho’s body was trembling slowly, very slowly.

The world he could see.

It was only two things.

“The world has no intention of leaving me alone.”

His world, which had been black and blue.

“So I will no longer live as I am carried by the flow.”

The reason he felt the whole world was black.

“I will create the flow.”

It was because the internal energy emitted by that being filled the entire world.

The black world rippled.

The black world moved.

“Jang Je-ho. What do you know?”

“You…”

The approaching black sun whispered.

“It would be nice if you knew a little more.”

“Lee Rowoon…?”

That was.

Whoosh!

That was the last thing Jang Je-ho thought.

* * *

It was a battle that had started around noon.

In the bright world, under the brightly shining sun, blood and corpses were abundant.

But at this moment.

“Black…”

The world was dark.

“Black Sun.”

Above the sky, the black sun was distorted.

The only one moving freely under it was Lee Rowoon.

Thud.

He reached out his hand.

The Blood Demon, whom Yoo Shin-haeng had not been able to guarantee victory against, collapsed and scattered away.

Flames!

It was like a plague.

Starting with the Blood Demon.

Whoosh!

The enemy soldiers began to burn black, unable to withstand the sunlight of the black sun.

Thud.

How should one describe it?

No martial art could do such a thing.

No, a human could not make such a thing possible.

So this was.

“Descent…”

A descent.

Something beyond human appearing in the human realm.

That was a descent.

And that being was.

“God…”

The being that humans revered and followed, a god.

A god is holy.

However, what that god was scattering was death.

Then what should that be called?

A word came to Yoo Shin-haeng’s mind.

“Demon…”

That which had been connected to Eun since long ago.

“Demon God.”

Demon God.

Yes.

“Heavenly Demon…!”

A Heavenly Demon.

As Lee Rowoon walked out, black flames covered the area.

The strange thing was that the black flames were only burning the enemy soldiers, as if they were Lee Rowoon’s soldiers.

Flames!

They burned, and burned again.

Whoosh!

The world was burning black.

“Why…”

One of the enemy soldiers said, sobbing.

His face, stained with fear and anger, was greatly distorted.

Unlike Jang Je-ho, who was already dead, he was someone who knew Lee Rowoon.

Another Blood Demon.

“Lee Rowoon, why are you doing this?”

He said, pushing back the black flames that were rising to his knees.

“You are… a human, aren’t you?”

Lee Rowoon stopped and looked at him.

“You are a resident of Earth, aren’t you!”

Just as Yoo Shin-haeng had cried out, he also cried out.

It was the face of someone who had been betrayed in a way that was impossible to understand.

“Our enemy is the martial artists! It is the martial artists who have taken away our freedom! It is the martial artists who do not see us as humans!”

He shouted.

“Yes. I acknowledge it.”

Lee Rowoon finally answered.

Lee Rowoon also agreed with the other’s words.

The martial artists did not treat the residents of Earth as equal humans.

The reality was that they were treated as inferior and low-grade resources for the martial artists.

“But.”

Lee Rowoon stood in front of the Blood Demon.

“How are you any different?”

He asked.

“We are different!”

An answer without a moment’s hesitation.

“We are fighting to survive! We are fighting for the residents of Earth! For freedom and liberation…”

The flames tightened around him.

In the end, he closed his mouth.

“What did you do to the civilians?”

Just as the martial artists treated the residents of Earth.

“How is it different?”

The enemy soldiers did not think of civilians as equal humans.

They thought that those who did not have the power of a player were inferior beings who had not evolved.

That was why they massacred civilians.

The enemy army.

“You are the same.”

It was a statement that they were no different.

“You are…”

He said, engulfed in flames.

“How are you different?”

He asked Lee Rowoon.

“In the end, you are also a mass murderer.”

The enemy soldiers in this place were burning away.

Even if only half of them died, more than two thousand lives would be gone.

So he was saying that Lee Rowoon was just a mass murderer.

“I am different.”

Lee Rowoon smiled.

“I am both a resident of Earth and a player.”

“What…”

“I am also a resident of Eun and a martial artist at the same time.”

“……!”

“So is Einheart [a place or concept].”

A being that belonged to all worlds and used all of their powers.

“That is me.”

That was Lee Rowoon.

A being that could represent everyone and understand everyone.

That was Lee Rowoon.

“And you know what?”

Lee Rowoon’s eyes turned red.

“You were all originally destined to die. Earth, Eun, and Einheart.”

Even Gehenna [a place of torment or destruction].

Everything in this world was destined to be destroyed.

If he had not contained the chaos, only destruction would have remained in the world.

So.

“Why are you complaining when I’m just going to do as I please?”

He had the right to do so.

Call it a fallacy, call it arrogance, shout as much as you want.

He wouldn’t listen.

“So, do you know where Kwon Cheol is?”

Lee Rowoon asked.

The other party remained silent.

Lee Rowoon smiled again.

If they didn’t want to answer.

Snap.

He would just find out by force.

Now.

Whoosh!

The entire battlefield was engulfed in black flames.

Everything seeped into Lee Rowoon, who had closed his eyes.

The souls and spirits of those dying in the holy fire seeped in.

Their lives, their thoughts, seeped in.

Curses and screams, resentment and anger.

But.

Smirk.

It didn’t give Lee Rowoon any emotion.

Because he had felt and overcome something greater.

Flash.

Lee Rowoon could control their lives.

“……”

Silence fell.

The Yusan Sect, Yoo Shin-haeng, had been certain of defeat.

Even so, they fought to protect.

They had abandoned everything and begged Lee Rowoon, who had finally appeared.

-Please help us.

This was the result.

No more enemy soldiers were alive on this land.

With their deaths, the martial artists and players of the Yusan Sect, who were originally supposed to die, survived.

“You are…”

Yoo Shin-haeng staggered out.

“Sect Leader!”

The executives rushed to support him.

Yoo Shin-haeng pushed them away and was getting closer to Lee Rowoon.

“Who are you?”

He knew that he was Lee Rowoon.

He knew that he was a righteous soldier belonging to the Blue Army.

But now Yoo Shin-haeng was certain.

This being was beyond explanation.

“I am…”

Lee Rowoon said.

“Blood Demon.”

“……!”

A strange heat engulfed everything.

“Heavenly Demon.”

He revealed.

“Also…”

Lee Rowoon’s languid eyes turned sharp.

Many people had witnessed what had happened here.

Ansa, the leader of the Philippine resistance, was also watching from afar to prepare for any emergency situation.

The martial artists of Jeomchang, who had come to assess the situation, were also watching.

The martial artists of the Assembly, who were hiding and waiting for their chance, were also watching.

It would have been engraved in them.

This was the end point, and also the starting point.

“Lee Rowoon.”

His own name.

“Kneel before me.”

He would open a new world.
