Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 266

Lee Ro-woon’s greatsword had a name.

-Wrath.

That was the first name given to the greatsword that Lee Ro-woon had made, the one that would be with him.

Thud.

The greatsword, Wrath, pierced the ground, splitting it like chocolate.

Squelch!

As if a wound pierced by a thorn was healing instantly, the black earth pulsed, pushing away the foreign object and trying to repair the split ground.

Whoosh!

The black earth turned into a viscous substance, swallowing Wrath and enveloping Lee Ro-woon.

It was undoubtedly a dangerous situation.

Lee Ro-woon was already half-submerged in the ground.

Yet, no one moved easily, merely watching Lee Ro-woon.

“…”

It looked as if Lee Ro-woon and the black earth were competing.

The huge mass of black earth of the Behemoth and Lee Ro-woon, a mere speck of dust in comparison, were competing.

Without much thought, it was obvious who the winner would be, but.

Gulp.

No one easily predicted the outcome.

They did not step forward.

Fshhh.

The Black Orcs watched, snorting.

They saw Lee Ro-woon as the king of humans, as the one whom the Guardian Wolf showed respect to, but.

“Woo!”

Before that, they saw Lee Ro-woon as a warrior.

A strong and steadfast warrior.

A warrior who would not crumble.

The Black Orcs.

“Woo woo!”

“Woo!”

A warrior worthy of respect.

Therefore, they did not interfere in the warrior’s fight, but watched it.

Also, Ha Se-min and the others were looking at Lee Ro-woon with different eyes.

“…”

As their master, their lord.

As a ruler to be followed.

The king of humans.

The meaning of that phrase still did not quite resonate.

They did not doubt that he was a Blood Demon, a Heavenly Demon, a Jinchun [a person who has reached a high level of martial arts]….

That he was the one who ruled over numerous forces and the strong.

However, the king of humans was something else entirely.

‘The representative of all mankind.’

The one who held the power of life and death.

It was absurd to easily accept a word with such meaning, but.

‘I think I understand.’

He seemed to understand what it meant.

Lee Ro-woon had said it before.

-If I fall asleep.

-If I pick up a sword….

He had warned.

-You might be destroyed.

Words that could be easily dismissed as a joke.

Childish and ridiculous words.

But they had seen it with their own eyes.

The power Lee Ro-woon possessed, and that what he had said was true.

Squelch.

Lee Ro-woon was now completely submerged in the black viscous substance.

It was a situation where an ordinary human could die from suffocation, if not for any other reason.

Then.

Crack!

The black viscous substance surrounding Lee Ro-woon began to crack.

-Your name is Wrath.

Lee Ro-woon had given the greatsword a name.

Wrath.

And….

“Wrath burns everything.”

Kang Han-cheol said, staring blankly at Lee Ro-woon.

“Until it burns everything in the world, Wrath will not stop.”

A voice like reading a scripture of the Blood Cult.

Boom!

A huge roar that shook the earth spread out.

Crack!

The ground began to split in various places.

Bang!

The sound of an explosion was heard.

Whoosh!

Along with it, flames erupted, and something began to surge.

The red, red substance flowed out like blood, like lava, soaking the black earth.

Sizzle.

The hardened black viscous substance fell away from Lee Ro-woon, revealing his form.

Wrath and Lee Ro-woon, black and stained with red.

Lee Ro-woon slowly drew his sword and slung it over his back.

The moment the surging lava flowed across the ground, erasing the black earth.

Thump.

Hashman and his wolf took a step forward with a loud thud.

Thump! Thump!

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on him, and Hashman began to pick up speed.

Finally, he stood at the boundary.

He was standing before the territory of the Black Lion, which he could not dare to step on without the protection of the Guardian Wolf.

And little by little.

Swoosh.

The wolf’s foot moved, stepping on the ground.

Without the protection of the Guardian Wolf, the black earth would suck in life and try to devour everything.

The Soaring Step was useless.

The Black Lion was more sensitive than ever.

Thump.

Normally, it would have been appropriate for the wolf and Hashman to be devoured instantly and dragged underground, but.

“…!”

Hashman and the wolf stood there.

Above the red lava.

The wolf stood on the ground without a single scorch mark.

“Woo.”

The sound that came from Hashman’s mouth.

“Woo! Woo!”

The Orcs began to shout.

“Woo woo woo woo!”

As the unified sound continued.

Tap tap tap!

The house-sized wolves began to run.

“Advance.”

It was the moment when the Black Orcs, who had been forced to focus solely on defense, finally switched to offense.

* * *

Crunch!

A black viscous monster was crushed in the wolf’s mouth.

Screech!

The black viscous monster in the form of an Orc kicked off the ground and moved its grotesquely transformed arm, aiming at the Black Orc warriors, but.

Crunch!

The Orcs’ glaives and maces were by no means weaker than the teeth of the wolves they were riding.

It was a massacre.

Bang!

Even the monsters that Ha Se-min and the others should have struggled against were the black monsters of this Behemoth.

“Woo. Woo!”

The Black Orcs were hunting and advancing, as if they were deer.

The Black Orcs were born warriors.

They did not hesitate, nor did they feel fear.

They focused all their attention on cutting down and defeating the enemy in front of them.

“Woo!”

It was the explosion of their instincts that had been suppressed until now.

The red, flickering eyes of the wolves and the eyes of the Black Orc warriors.

That was.

Woo-oong!

They resonated with great power, sweeping away the enemies.

Of course, it was not only the Black Orcs who were making achievements.

“Power….”

Kang Han-cheol’s lips twitched.

“It’s overflowing.”

Bang!

His fist went out, sweeping away a line of black monsters.

Lee Ro-woon’s training was the first reason for his growth.

-To control one’s instincts, and to be able to unleash them….

The teachings of the Beast Palace Lord.

-It also means that you can draw out the limits of your potential.

He understood the subtle meaning and achieved his second growth.

And lastly.

Crack! Crackle!

There was a reason why the Black Orcs and Ha Se-min and the others were able to show such overwhelming growth in skill.

Woo-oong.

The greatsword was emitting a red light from behind Lee Ro-woon’s back.

It was the influence of Wrath.

Twitch.

The muscles all over his body swelled as if they would burst.

The inner energy within his dantian [energy center in the body] pulsed, reaching out to his entire body.

Wrath.

It was consuming his entire body.

This was the control of instincts that the Beast Palace Lord had taught.

-We call this the Beast Instinct.

It was combined with the Beast Instinct, doubling his power.

Bang!

The black viscous monsters were no longer a troublesome opponent.

Crunch!

They were just objects of wrath to be torn apart, burst, and killed.

This influence was not only applied to martial artists who had learned martial arts.

“It’s been… a while.”

Lee Shin-woo’s eyes, red through his glasses.

“This feeling.”

The instincts he had been suppressing awakened, and dozens of will-o’-the-wisps rose around him.

The blue ghost fire blazed and merged into one.

It became the face of a goblin, moving and eating the black monsters.

Grrr!

Hushman’s wolf retreated, catching its breath.

What appeared in front of it was a creature far larger than any monster seen in the black earth so far.

“Cyclops.”

A one-eyed giant.

An A-rank monster, known for its massive size and strength, capable of crushing and pulverizing a ranker-level player with one hand.

Such a creature was covered and stained with black viscous substance.

Whoosh!

The black club that the creature swung.

“Kuh!”

It was enough to push back Hashman’s wolf and Hashman.

Also, that was not the only problem.

“The Black Lion must be sensing it too.”

Hushman’s voice echoed quietly.

“That this fight is the last.”

Fierce resistance.

The black earth pulsed, pouring out another monster.

Those who were shocked by the sight contorted their faces.

They seemed a little tired of the endless enemy forces.

But you cannot create something from nothing.

That was the realm of God, which humans could not reach.

“Are these things endless?”

As Lee Yong-jin’s voice, as if doubting it, continued.

“The black monsters are the lives that the Black Lion has devoured.”

Hushman said.

“There is an end.”

“But….”

Lee Yong-jin’s dagger sliced through a humanoid monster.

It turned into water and scattered, but.

Clang!

It soon returned to its original form, aiming for Lee Yong-jin’s neck.

Lee Yong-jin’s dagger and the humanoid monster’s arm collided, sparking.

“It seems like they keep coming back to life?”

As Lee Yong-jin said, the black monsters appeared anew, but they also revived even after being defeated.

They turned into black liquid, and then they regained their shape.

Grrr.

It seemed like they had defeated hundreds of monsters, but the black monsters were still surging around them, as if they were surrounded.

“This is also because it is the life of the Black Lion.”

“…!”

Hushman kicked off the wolf’s head and jumped at the Cyclops, saying.

“It will end. When the Black Lion’s life reaches its bottom.”

“When is that!”

“I don’t know.”

“…Crazy.”

“Just defeat them and defeat them again.”

A voice and action befitting a Black Orc.

In fact, the Black Orcs seemed to have made such a resolution.

“At this rate, there is no answer.”

However, Ha Se-min and Lee Shin-woo thought differently.

“It might be better to break through.”

“I think so too.”

Ha Se-min and Lee Shin-woo stood back to back.

Blue lightning and blue ghost fire rose, sweeping away the surrounding monsters.

But at that moment.

“Wrath.”

Kang Han-cheol’s voice continued.

The huge flames that had risen in both hands had transformed into a form reminiscent of a giant’s fist.

“Burns everything.”

The words he had said at the starting point of the black earth.

And then.

“…!”

Lee Ro-woon’s greatsword, Wrath, burned away the curse of the black earth.

“When…!”

Lee Ro-woon, who had been standing quietly in the back, had somehow appeared in the center of the battlefield.

The atmosphere reversed when Lee Ro-woon, who they thought was conserving his strength to face the Black Lion, stood on the battlefield.

Screech!

All the black monsters screamed, looking at Lee Ro-woon.

They instinctively sought out the most dangerous and powerful enemy.

Tap!

They tried to move to eliminate it, but.

Tap.

A small drop of blood formed on Lee Ro-woon’s finger and seeped in.

It was the moment when the dozens of enemies that seemed to be rushing at Lee Ro-woon looked like black cloaks.

Swoosh!

A pleasant sound was heard.

Thud!

A dull sound followed.

Thud!

Those that had flown in fell down.

The monsters.

Small holes were pierced all over their black bodies, allowing the sunlight that had been illuminating this black earth to pass through.

Those that had become honeycombs collapsed, but.

“They will come back to life!”

Those things would recover again and aim for Lee Ro-woon.

Lee Yong-jin warned about that, but he soon closed his mouth after seeing Lee Ro-woon’s eyes.

“…”

Those that had fallen could not get up again.

“Wrath.”

Kang Han-cheol’s voice.

“Burns everything. Even the lives of the enemy and oneself.”
