Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 254

The Three Kings’ Disciple (255)

254

Crack!

The sky above the Yusan Sect began to crack.

The world split apart, and…

Crash!

It began to shatter.

“……!”

Yoo Shin-haeng couldn’t hide his anxiety at the sight.

Rumble!

An earthquake shook the area.

Crash!

The sound of buildings collapsing echoed.

All the members of the Yusan Sect had already been evacuated.

However.

Boom!

Years of history, the legacy of the Yusan Sect, everything was collapsing.

“Are you okay?”

Lee Rowoon asked Yoo Shin-haeng.

It was a first for him as well, so he was a little concerned.

Was there some power in Lee Rowoon’s words?

Yoo Shin-haeng’s face, which had been trembling with anxiety, gradually regained its composure.

“It’s just….”

Yoo Shin-haeng quietly opened his mouth.

“It’s just a place.”

Fragments of the world.

The Yusan Sect had spent over a hundred years in this confined space.

For them, this world must have been like a shell.

However.

‘Life always breaks out of its shell to be born.’

That was the truth of the ages.

But this strange world was going back and forth between being a shell and the outside world.

That was not normal.

If something new was to be born.

‘The shell must be broken.’

Only then would true life be born.

“Yeah.”

Lee Rowoon turned away from Yoo Shin-haeng and spoke, facing the collapsing world.

The place where the core of the Yusan Sect had been stored was already shattered, revealing the sky torn like a glass window.

“It’s just a place.”

Crash!

For Lee Rowoon, destroying the fragments of the world, rather than absorbing or merging them, was also a first.

Of course, there had been instances where fragments of the world had been destroyed before.

Events such as the destruction of a sect due to war or punishment were occasional occurrences.

However, Lee Rowoon.

‘This and that are not the same.’

He thought that this moment was the true destruction of the world.

Unlike those who couldn’t even merge properly, Lee Rowoon’s destruction, as the owner of the world recognized by the system, would be.

Rumble!

A true destruction.

Forcibly breaking a shell and naturally breaking out of a shell were completely different things.

What Lee Rowoon was doing was the latter.

It was similar to following the laws of nature.

That’s why he was looking forward to it.

“It’s a new beginning.”

The world flashed white.

* * *

The destruction of the Yusan Sect.

Changes were also happening outside.

A huge light was emanating from the gate leading to the Yusan Sect.

Along with that light.

Rumble!

The earth’s axis was moving and changing.

“Evacuate!”

Lee Shin-woo shouted, reaching out to suppress the flow.

The flustered executives of the Yusan Sect and the resistance forces quickly moved to evacuate people.

“……!”

Watching that, Lee Shin-woo slowly released his power.

He could also feel it.

“This is….”

The bright light that was emanating.

It seemed like a big problem would occur due to the changes happening as the inner energy of Eun exploded, but Lee Rowoon knew.

“It’s providence.”

That the destructive event he had imagined would not occur.

Rather, this was the natural order of things that should have happened.

The inner energy expanding from the gate of the Yusan Sect did not feel like it was swallowing and destroying everything, but rather warmly embracing everything.

‘It’s mixing.’

It felt like it was mixing and resonating with the magic of Earth.

Clench.

The fist he had been holding tightly.

Swoosh.

Lee Shin-woo completely released the power from it.

Whoosh.

A small cluster of light.

Whoooosh!

Became a huge pillar of light and soared into the sky.

Lee Shin-woo, who had the hidden job of an Interferer.

He had felt various types of magic by interfering with the magic of numerous players, but.

“……!”

The magic that adorned the sky now was a completely new kind that he had never felt before.

Inner energy and magic.

Even though they were mixed together.

‘It’s not exploding.’

Just as the warriors of Eun could not use the power of players.

Just as players could not use martial arts.

That natural truth.

Whoooosh!

Was being broken.

The pillar of light that had soared up shattered at some point and began to snow down.

But it was not cold or stinging, but rather warm.

At some point.

Ding!

Something rang in Lee Shin-woo’s ear.

[Level….]

It had been a long time since he had hunted, but.

[Has increased.]

His level had increased.

[Level has increased.]

[Level….]

The system voice did not end with just one notification.

It was tickling his ears with countless notifications.

[Skill….]

In addition to that, system voices were heard.

“What the hell is going on…?”

Lee Shin-woo, flustered, cleared the blue windows in front of him with one hand, and things that had not been visible began to appear.

That this bewildering and surprising event was being experienced by.

“W, what’s going on…?”

Not just himself.

Tatat!

An Sara, who had been evacuating people, was running towards Lee Shin-woo at a rapid pace.

“Cheongwi-nim!” [Cheongwi-nim is a respectful title]

An Sara called out to Lee Shin-woo.

Her eyes were filled with surprise.

“What is happening right now?”

The blue window in her eyes.

It was proof that she was looking at the system window.

It was proof that she was experiencing the same thing as Lee Shin-woo.

“I don’t know exactly either.”

That was the best answer Lee Shin-woo could give.

“Again….”

The light of magic that was spreading.

“That guy must have done something.”

That guy.

An Sara also knew that it was a nickname for Lee Rowoon, and looked up at the sky.

Now, with the voices of players being heard from all over.

Whoosh.

It was a moment when the world felt like it had stopped for a moment.

“Pillars of light…!”

Pillars of light everywhere.

That was.

“For the martial artists?”

They were piercing down into the martial artists.

* * *

The destruction of the Yusan Sect.

Just that alone had raised the levels of the players.

Among them, there were those who had acquired new skills, and those whose skill levels had increased.

The question was whether this was only applied to players near the Yusan Sect, or to all players.

‘The former.’

As a result of An Sara and Lee Shin-woo quickly moving to check the information, the answer was the former.

Only those near the Yusan Sect had benefited from the destruction.

But for some reason, Lee Shin-woo could feel it.

‘We’re just the ones who benefited the fastest.’

That everyone would slowly receive that benefit.

The magic that could be felt when one became a player.

Such magic existed in the atmosphere.

And now.

‘The concentration is getting thicker.’

The concentration of magic around them was continuously increasing.

A new magic that had never been felt before.

That special magic, a mixture of ki [internal energy] and magic.

This would spread.

Of course, there would be a limit to it.

‘If the world is destroyed again….’

These changes would continue to grow and spread.

Lee Rowoon had said.

-A new beginning.

Lee Shin-woo was experiencing that more directly than anyone else.

Also.

“I can’t believe it.”

The changes were not only experienced by himself and the players.

At the last moment.

The moment the Yusan Sect was completely destroyed.

“This is….”

The martial artists nearby, especially the martial artists of the Yusan Sect, were engulfed in pillars of light.

Now, in front of Lee Shin-woo, the head of the Yusan Sect, Yoo Shin-haeng, and Lee Rowoon were standing.

Yoo Shin-haeng was checking his body and telling Lee Rowoon everything one by one.

“I feel like I’ve… crossed a wall.”

Yoo Shin-haeng, who was already at the Profound Realm [a high level of martial arts mastery].

“Ah, that doesn’t mean I’ve reached the next realm.”

His aura had become even more powerful.

“It feels more like I broke through a wall than crossed it.”

Lee Shin-woo listened intently.

“It’s like something that was blocked has been broken through? Or like something that was blurry has become clear.”

Vague expressions.

Yoo Shin-haeng seemed unsure how to explain it.

“The realm is the same. But….”

Strong ki surged from the sword he held in his hand.

Whoosh!

A clear, blue light of ki.

But that was.

Whoooosh!

It was emitting an even denser light and radiating heat.

“……!”

It was different.

It was a distinctly different ki from what he had shown in the battle against the enemy forces.

Even if the amount of inner energy infused was the same, the result was different.

“It feels more pure and clean….”

Even so, he couldn’t express his condition well.

Yoo Shin-haeng also said.

“And….”

This was the most important thing.

“Hoo.”

Yoo Shin-haeng, who had let out a short breath, said.

“System window.”

The exclusive property of players.

* * *

“A martial artist using the power of a player.”

Lee Shin-woo muttered as if he couldn’t believe it.

The destruction of the Yusan Sect.

With that, the players had leveled up and experienced changes in their skills.

That alone was an amazing thing.

Until now, the only way for a player to grow was through hunting.

To hunt monsters, take their lives, and grow by using them as nourishment.

That was the only way for a player to grow.

Even grueling training or taking inner pills was useless, but it had been achieved simply by destroying the world.

But more surprising than those changes or benefits was what Lee Shin-woo had just said.

A martial artist using the power of a player.

To be precise.

‘The system.’

It was that they had gained the system.

Of course, that change had not happened to everyone.

Only Yoo Shin-haeng, the head of the Yusan Sect.

And a few executives.

They had succeeded in summoning the system window for the first time.

The other martial artists seemed to have achieved some level of growth, but they could not see the system.

Also.

-The letters here are distorted and cannot be read.

Their system was not perfect either.

Levels, stats, skills, etc., were distorted and could not be read.

They could only read their own names and the word ‘martial artist’.

But even with just this.

“It’s amazing.”

It was definitely a huge change.

He could sense it.

-All players will receive the benefits.

Slowly, the benefits would seep in and eventually spread throughout the world.

If so.

‘The same will be true for martial artists.’

Their system, which was not yet perfect, would become perfect.

And those who did not have the system would gain it.

What would happen now?

It was at a level that was hard to imagine.

But one thing was certain.

“……….”

A story that was still hard to put into words.

Truly.

“Can we… mix?”

That the difference, the gap between them and themselves, was narrowing.

This was something that needed to be watched a little more.

“Hoo.”

Lee Shin-woo, who had let out a sigh, focused and grabbed the steering wheel.

Lee Rowoon and Lee Shin-woo were already moving away from Davao.

Yoo Shin-haeng had wanted them to stay a little longer, but.

-Contact us here for any necessary communication or changes.

Lee Rowoon left without any regrets, leaving only one contact number.

There were offers to provide escorts or guides, but he ignored them.

As if he had sensed something.

“…….”

Lee Rowoon simply wanted to move with Lee Shin-woo alone.

Screech.

Lee Shin-woo applied the brakes.

“Was it because of this?”

He asked Lee Rowoon.

Ahead, the magic and auras that could be felt.

The red jeeps visible through the slowly stopped car’s window.

The flags of the enemy forces were planted on those cars.
