The Three Kings’ Disciple

Volume 12, Chapter 23

298

He was the director of Saebom Orphanage on a small scale, and the leader of the enemy forces on a large scale.

He was also a businessman and politician who once dominated an era.

There were countless other words to describe him.

-Kwon Cheol.

He was a great figure who dominated an era, a living legend.

But he was also an utterly vile being.

He was a vile human being in his glorious past and in his faded present.

-You are the pillars that will lead this era.

A man who melts brains with sweet talk and brands bodies with whips.

A man who doesn’t care about the lives of others and considers himself the most important.

That was him.

“Kwon Cheol.”

It was common knowledge among those from Saebom Orphanage that he was a Mutant with a hidden job.

In the orphanage, he had revealed his vile desires to the children from a young age.

He always said.

-You will usher in a new generation.

Usher in a new generation.

-This is just the key.

He would only accelerate it and show them the way.

He soothed the children as if he were a prophet.

Along with his dark desires.

At first, they thought everything he said was right.

All the children in the orphanage followed him like a father who had taken them in and trusted him completely.

-This is my love.

They had thought that his whipping and punching were his own way of showing love.

However, as Lee Rowan grew up, he was able to learn the truth.

-This… is not love.

Lee Rowan, who had unknowingly awakened.

Lee Rowan, who had obtained a hidden job, became an Adjuster.

He could clearly see.

That everything Kwon Cheol had said was a lie.

And what he had done to them.

-Mutant.

His ability was not to discard the weakness within and draw out strength.

It was not to awaken potential and transform them into a new human race.

The desire he had shoved in under the name of love was.

-Parasites.

Disgusting bugs.

Dozens of bugs were growing inside the children’s bodies.

That was the first time.

-I have to get out of here.

That was when Lee Rowan thought about escaping.

Lee Rowan gathered those who shared his will and attempted to escape the orphanage.

Also, while escaping, he used the power of the Adjuster to pull out the parasites that had nested in the children’s bodies.

Dozens of times of vomiting.

Traces that were not enough to erase even after several months.

It seemed that those who were reborn had cut off all ties with the orphanage, but not Lee Rowan.

-Kwon Cheol.

Adjuster.

The desire of Kwon Cheol that he saw with that power never knew how to give up.

He would always target them and extend his reach.

He had to know about him.

Lee Rowan secretly approached one of the orphanage children, pulled out his parasite, and interacted with him.

-Rowan.

The truth he learned through his death.

-That man… doesn’t die.

A story of new possibilities and despair.

It was a story about an immortal.

But he was not an immortal being.

Yes, that was it….

“Possessor.”

Lee Rowan opened his mouth.

“That’s your second job and power.”

The implanted parasite was his main body.

He moved along with the parasite and possessed that body.

It was then.

The mouth of Yu Un-hak, who had been showing a benevolent smile, or rather Kwon Cheol, twisted greatly.

A disgusting yet cruel smile.

“How did you know?”

“I thought something was strange. I just didn’t miss it.”

“As expected….”

Kwon Cheol had returned to his original expression.

“You are indeed my most proud son.”

A satisfied smile.

“Jang So-young.”

Lee Rowan called out to Jang So-young.

“Yu Un-hak wasn’t Kwon Cheol from the beginning. He just….”

Jang So-young’s eyes trembled.

“He just possessed Yu Un-hak’s body.”

That was the Mutant and the Possessor.

That was Kwon Cheol’s secret.

“Then you must also know this.”

Then Kwon Cheol’s voice was heard.

“That it is impossible to kill me.”

Kwon Cheol, who had been resurrected and appeared before them even after his neck was cut off.

Also.

Sway.

Enemy soldiers with red eyes flickering around Lee Rowan and Jang So-young appeared.

The number was over a hundred.

Kwon Cheol’s hidden elite was revealing themselves.

“That it is impossible to escape me.”

Kwon Cheol’s eyes also flickered with a red light.

“My proud son. My….”

His mouth gaped open, and the saliva that had gathered stretched out like a spider web.

He was no longer a being that could be called human.

A monster.

“My masterpiece. I will take your body and open a new world.”

That was his true goal.

Swoosh.

The figure of Yu Un-hak disappeared.

Thud!

It appeared right in front of Lee Rowan’s nose with its mouth wide open.

* * *

Yu Un-hak, the sect leader of Jeomchang.

A master who had mastered the swordsmanship of Jeomchang, a master who had reached the peak of the Mystic Realm, and was even known to have reached the realm of life and death.

It was said that his true worth was revealed when he held a sword.

Thud.

Now, Yu Un-hak was just fighting by swinging his fist.

Lee Rowan reached out and knocked away Yu Un-hak’s arm.

At the same time, blood needles that had sprung up in all directions rushed towards Yu Un-hak.

Puff puff puff!

They pierced deeply.

In fact, the fight was over with that.

The blood needles, filled with the Blood Demon Qi [a type of dark energy] of the Blood Demon Divine Art, spread through the blood vessels as soon as they were embedded in the body.

Thud.

As a result, like the changes happening on Yu Un-hak’s face now, hundreds of poisons concentrated in the Blood Demon Qi in the bulging blood vessels were poisoning him and sucking away his inner energy.

However.

Creak.

The bulging blood vessels subsided, and his original complexion returned.

Yu Un-hak’s enormous inner energy, which had surpassed a certain level, was pushing back and purifying the Blood Demon Qi.

But if that was all, he would not be able to avoid injury, even if it was not fatal.

Lee Rowan’s Blood Demon Qi was not just any Blood Demon Qi.

Indeed, the blood needles that had pierced Yu Un-hak’s body continued to dig deeper, trying to settle in a deeper place, but.

Thud.

Under Yu Un-hak, who had stepped back.

Thud thud thud.

The blood needles that Lee Rowan had shot out fell and shattered.

Their color was not the deep crimson of true blood when they were shot out, but a dull gray.

“It’s useless.”

That was the power of Kwon Cheol, not Yu Un-hak.

[Mutation]

His ability to change the nature of things or transform them into completely new beings.

Shushushushushushush.

However, Lee Rowan once again waved his hand and created thousands of blood needles and shot them out.

The moment the blood needles, which were moving faster than bullets, were about to pierce Yu Un-hak’s body.

Flash.

Yu Un-hak also reached out and created a barrier.

The blood needles that had pierced the barrier, soon after.

Wriggle.

They turned into a sticky green color, as if they had a more viscous poison, and changed direction.

From Yu Un-hak to Lee Rowan.

Fwaaang!

The thousands of blood needles returned to Lee Rowan as they were.

If they had been the same as when Lee Rowan had shot them out, they would have been absorbed back into Lee Rowan, but those imbued with the power of mutation would become living parasites the moment Lee Rowan absorbed them, and would destroy Lee Rowan’s body.

So, the only way was.

Saaaah!

To sweep them away with an even greater force.

The wave of blood that rose from under Lee Rowan’s feet swept away the blood needles and disappeared in an instant.

Smirk.

Yu Un-hak was smiling.

“You are indeed amazing.”

His appearance of genuinely admiring and rejoicing.

“You are indeed my son.”

It was truly madness.

Lee Rowan’s face, which had been languid until then, contorted.

An emotion that had not been seen until now.

“Disgusting.”

It was an emotion of contempt.

“You really are….”

Even though he had lost many emotions, he could say for sure now.

The being in front of him, Yu Un-hak, or rather Kwon Cheol, was disgustingly vile.

The son or daughter that he spoke of was never thought of as his own children.

“You are mine.”

His possession.

And something he had to take away.

Eventually, Lee Rowan’s hand reached towards his back.

A large greatsword.

Clench.

It was the release of his anger.

The anger held in both hands.

Then, the jewel-like eye located on the bridge of the nose opened wide.

Gooooo.

At the same time, a wave spread out.

Thump.

Even Yu Un-hak frowned at the strange energy.

It was ominous.

And also bizarre.

The power felt from the sword that Lee Rowan was holding, the Anger, was like that.

“What is that?”

Yu Un-hak couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Lee Rowan’s answer to that was simple.

“Something you should be responsible for.”

Flash.

Lee Rowan’s figure disappeared.

Flash.

Lee Rowan, who had reappeared, was swinging the large greatsword, Anger, behind Yu Un-hak’s back.

From the sky to the ground.

The red haze that bloomed from the tip of the Anger slowly solidified and turned into a strong energy, and it looked like a shooting star.

“……!”

Yu Un-hak could instinctively realize.

‘It’s dangerous.’

That this was dangerous even with the power of mutation he possessed.

The power that this Anger was emitting.

‘I can’t even mutate it?’

He couldn’t even change its nature.

Therefore, the choice he could make was this.

Swoosh!

The power that Yu Un-hak, not Kwon Cheol, possessed.

Drawing out his sword and thrusting it.

Clang!

The moment the sound of metal clashing echoed.

Gooooooong!

The shockwave caused by the collision of the two swords spread in all directions, overturning the surface of the earth.

Even so, the unresolved power.

Fwaaaang!

Soared into the sky and split the clouds.

A single clash.

The sect leader of Jeomchang, a master of the sword.

It was the display of Yu Un-hak’s ultimate move, which was specialized in thrusting.

The thrust of Jeomchang does not end with a single strike.

Growl.

Along with the swaying shadows, the sword in Yu Un-hak’s hand had increased to dozens, hundreds of swords.

They were all shot out, aiming for Lee Rowan’s vitals in an instant.

Tatatatatang!

The blood needles that had sprung up blocked them.

Kaka kakakang!

The Anger blocked them.

But as if boasting the fastest thrust, the sword of Jeomchang boasted.

Trickle.

Small scratches were appearing on Lee Rowan’s skin.

The power that Kwon Cheol possessed.

-Possessor.

It was that he could draw out all the power that the possessed target had.

No, in addition to that.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

He could do more.

His swordsmanship, which had surpassed one realm, was aiming for all of Lee Rowan’s vital points.

And at the last moment, the Anger, which was held diagonally, blocked and deflected all the sword strikes.

Clang!

The symbol of Jeomchang, the symbol of the sect leader.

The divine object called the One Sword of the Four Seas eventually cracked and shattered, and fragments flew out.

“……!”

Yu Un-hak and Jang So-young, who were watching the scene, seemed to be in disbelief.

“There was….”

Yu Un-hak said.

“More gifts.”

A face flickering with madness and greed.

His face coveted the opponent’s famous sword more than the loss of his own famous sword.

But his mouth had to be closed at that moment.

Thud.

The large greatsword, Anger, was vertically embedded in Yu Un-hak’s torso.

A single strike that split from the heart to the organs inside the body, and even the dantian [energy center in the body].

A strike that could be considered the end for any master.

A period that signaled the end, but.

Smirk.

Yu Un-hak was smiling.

“Didn’t I tell you?”

From his split belly, something like teeth sprouted.

Clang!

It closed and bit down on Anger.

“That you can’t kill me.”

At that moment, a chilling sensation was felt behind Lee Rowan’s back.
