Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 300

“Ughhhhh!”

Kwon Cheol screamed in agony. Bones and tentacles erupted from his entire body, trapping Lee Rowan as if in a cage. In that place where no light seemed to penetrate, Kwon Cheol’s eyes burned fiercely.

“I won’t let it happen—!” Lee Rowan had clearly stated that he would die here. And Kwon Cheol was…

“Never like that—!” He struggled desperately. “I won’t let it happen!” His energy exploded and expanded. Tentacles continued to extend, pouring out as if to pierce Lee Rowan’s entire body, and the protruding bones transformed into thorns, stabbing into Lee Rowan.

Swish, swish, swish! At the same time, blood cells that had sprung up were cutting them off, but Kwon Cheol was faster. Thwack, thwack! Thorns began to pierce Lee Rowan’s body one by one.

“I am the god of the new human race—!” He was exploding with everything he had. The embedded thorns were maximizing his mutation power, causing necrosis in Lee Rowan’s body. Lee Rowan’s skin swelled with bubbling blisters.

Thwack! Without hesitation, Lee Rowan burst the blisters and cut off the affected area. However, his entire body continued to boil.

“I—!” Kwon Cheol shouted. [I will not die—!] His voice, filled with all his being, echoed through the space.

Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack! In the end, Lee Rowan was continuously pierced, accepting Kwon Cheol’s attacks. Lee Rowan’s feet left the ground, and his body floated in the air. Thud! Pierced by Kwon Cheol’s thorns and tentacles.

“I will take your body.” Kwon Cheol’s face was distorted with madness. “If I only have your body….”

Even at this moment, he could not abandon his desires. The body of the head of the Jeomchang sect [a martial arts sect] had its limits. However, Lee Rowan’s body, which he was facing, seemed to have no end. Even at this moment, it could be seen that he was pushing back the invading mutation power and nullifying the possession.

The god of the new human race. “I can become the king of humans.” A body suitable to become the king of humans. Kwon Cheol was trying to take Lee Rowan by pouring out everything he had. With his mutation power, he amplified his strength. Also, with the power of possession, he exploded the knowledge, information, and bets he had accumulated in an instant.

Finally. Ripple. He even extracted and exploded all the power of Yoo Woon-hak’s body, even the innate energy. It all seeped into Lee Rowan.

Bubble, bubble. The rate at which blisters were forming on Lee Rowan’s body was accelerating. Lee Rowan’s internal organs were bursting and regenerating repeatedly.

“My son,” Kwon Cheol said. “Pay the price for raising you.”

At that voice. Smirk. Lee Rowan’s languid lips twisted. “Real fathers….” A dry voice that sounded like he was about to die. But there was no inflection in it. When Kwon Cheol trembled at the voice that seemed to have lost all emotion.

“Don’t say such things.” Kwon Cheol’s eyes widened as if they would tear. Something he couldn’t see because of anger and greed. “It’s already too late.” Only then could he see it.

Whoosh. Tentacles pierced Lee Rowan, and thorns tore him apart. Burst blisters. Lee Rowan’s blood, which had been pouring like a waterfall, was scattered and pooled. And that was. Whoosh! It became thousands, tens of thousands of blood cells, dominating all directions.

“When….” Kwon Cheol’s two eyes were rolling in different directions as if they had different egos. His ego had also been split as he had possessed countless times. “Whennnnnn—!” But even his divided egos would know.

“Such things are not important,” Lee Rowan said. “What’s important is.” A bleak anger settled in his languid eyes. “Only that you will die now.”

Lee Rowan’s hand was raised. His index finger and thumb touched, creating a small spark. Tap. It was a signal. A signal announcing Kwon Cheol’s death.

Wham! The blood cells, which were like small grains of rice, swelled up in an instant, increasing in size. They were filled with Lee Rowan’s bets and will…. “Get lost, you bastard.” Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! They began to explode in an instant.

* * *

There seemed to be nothing left there. Only a huge crater remained, as if an asteroid had collided. A space of ash where everything had been burned. It was a trace of destruction that humans could not even imagine. But there was still something standing there.

Fwip. A being that was charred and burned black. Lee Rowan, whose half of his body had completely turned to ash. Whoosh! He was slowly regenerating his burned body. Blood Demon Divine Art and Heavenly Demon Divine Art [powerful martial arts techniques]. It was something possible by reaching the extreme of the power to observe and control the inside and the body.

Whoosh! It was possible because he could accelerate the recovery speed by drawing in external power through the Emperor’s Ring. Before long, Lee Rowan had regenerated his half-burned face and looked ahead. “That tenacious life force….” Lee Rowan was not alone.

“I’ll acknowledge it.” In front of Lee Rowan, a mass of tentacles that was ambiguous to even call a living thing was writhing. It was a form close to a parasite, struggling to survive and crawling. Squirm. It was trying to get away from Lee Rowan, but its movements were extremely slow. It was barely breathing, as if barely clinging to life.

Lee Rowan. Thud! He stomped on it with his foot. With a thud, body fluids splattered, but it was still alive and writhing. -The end…. A voice flowed out as a mouth opened in the tentacle. -This is not the end.

Lee Rowan crushed it with his foot, burning the flames of the holy fire. After a long time, the movement finally stopped. What was once Kwon Cheol had finally turned to ash and scattered. Kwon Cheol had said it was not the end. But Lee Rowan, who had fully recovered, said, “Unfortunately, it’s the end.”

He couldn’t think that his sins were forgiven just by this. The pain he had inflicted on himself in the past could not be resolved with just this. Even if he had forgotten it due to the long years, others would not. But he had to end it. A being that mutates and possesses. There was no good in keeping such a troublesome being alive. Kwon Cheol seemed to think that he could still survive and possess another life.

Thud. He was wrong. Lee Rowan reached out and grabbed something. The hand slowly opened, and there was nothing there. But the moment Lee Rowan’s eyes flickered red. -Kkyaaaaaaak! There, a small flame was burning, and a scream that confused the mind echoed. -How—! How!

A voice screaming in horror. “I said it’s the end.” That was Kwon Cheol’s soul. “With the power of interference, this space is completely isolated.” He had isolated the space with the explosive power that could erase a continent. Therefore, the explosion that Lee Rowan had created had only created such a crater. Also, in that isolated space, nothing could escape without permission. Even more so if it was Kwon Cheol, who had lost his power and weakened.

-Kkeueueueueuaaaak! Also, if it was that, Kwon Cheol might have succeeded in resurrecting. Lee Rowan also had to release the isolation of the space to escape this place, and Kwon Cheol might have escaped through that gap. If the only way was for him and the guy to be sealed together and live here for the rest of their lives. If that was the only answer, Lee Rowan would have had to release the isolation of the space, and Kwon Cheol would have escaped as well. However.

“My teachers are not just the two of them.” The Martial King and the Sword King. And the last one. “All spirits and souls, and death, belong to me.” As Lee Rowan was realizing the power of the Demon King and heading towards it, he was now given the authority to directly handle souls. He had grabbed Kwon Cheol’s soul like that.

-Kkeuh, kkeueok. It groaned, suffering from Lee Rowan’s will. “You’ll be in pain for a long time. So you can look forward to it.” -Please…. “I hope I can remember you and forgive you.” If he couldn’t remember. “That pain will continue.” Kwon Cheol’s soul seeped into the missing piece of anger that Lee Rowan was holding. The moment the bridge of anger, which had been opened like an eye, closed, with a sound like digestion.

Thud. In the end, Lee Rowan also sat down on the spot. Kwon Cheol as an opponent. Because he was such a clever and thorough human, not a single mistake could be allowed. He had to anticipate how many plans he had prepared and prepare for them all. That’s why he dragged out a fight that didn’t need to be dragged out. “Kuh.” The intense pain was rushing in. A real fight that felt like it had been a long time. Lee Rowan grabbed his body, which felt like it was about to tear apart, and stayed there.

Thump. Then footsteps were heard. “Did you survive….” Lee Rowan said, enduring the pain. “…Thanks to you.” Jang So-young was there. The moment the blood cells exploded, he had created a shield to protect her by moving the blood demon energy and blood. Of course, that was not enough, so whether she lived or died was also up to luck.

“You seem to have realized it at the end.” Jang So-young, who looked different. She slowly nodded her head. “That was… thanks to you too.” A martial artist learns by watching the fights of masters. A master learns by watching the fights of masters who are better than themselves. That one realization was what allowed them to break through the wall.

Jang So-young approached Lee Rowan and stood there. “It would be an opportunity.” Lee Rowan, who could not move. Jang So-young was looking at him. “…….” Jang So-young closed her mouth. It was because she had realized the meaning of the opportunity that Lee Rowan was talking about. Jang So-young could strike a blow at Lee Rowan right now. And if that was the end for Lee Rowan.

“You can have everything you want.” Jang So-young would be able to take everything she wanted. “Even if it’s not that….” Lee Rowan said, leaning his body with languid eyes. “It would be threatening.” The power that he possessed. Jang So-young had seen a fragment of it. Humans fear the unknown, and they have an instinctive aversion to the overwhelming. She would be the same.

“Just by your existence, you will bring about great changes in the world.” Jang So-young realized that fact. A person who has thrown away the mask of a human is called a monster. But Lee Rowan had surpassed even that monster. What should this person be called? “…….” But there was one thing that was certain.

Swish. “Still, it’s a relief. That there is another person like you.” Jang So-young supported the fallen Lee Rowan. “So I won’t do anything like a pointless gamble.” Jang So-young stood Lee Rowan up. “Give the Philippines to me.” She said. “If supporting you is not enough, you can think of it as the price for saving you.”

Lee Rowan slowly nodded his head. Jang So-young asked Lee Rowan. “If… I had attacked, would it have worked?” The gap that Lee Rowan had shown, if Jang So-young had pierced it? “No.” Lee Rowan said in a languid voice. “You would have died.” “It was a test after all.” “And you passed.” Lee Rowan was already standing on his own two feet. Shadows were approaching in the distance. “The Philippines is yours.”
