The Three Kings’ Disciple

Volume 14, Chapter 3

328

A flushed face, red with anger.

A smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Lee Tae-kyum was.

“Why are you crying?” he asked.

He was asking Choi Ye-seul with a face like a demon.

Shudder, shudder.

Choi Ye-seul was trembling with fear.

It was said that most of the idols debuting recently were players [individuals with superhuman abilities].

They were debuting players to handle the grueling idol schedules.

Choi Ye-seul was the same.

She had chosen to become an idol instead of dying in a gate [a portal to another dimension].

However.

“I, it’s just that….”

At this moment, Choi Ye-seul was regretting her choice.

Thanks to the backing of the Comet Sect, she hadn’t been called out for most things in the past.

But before the name of Hainan, she was ultimately nothing more than a nobody.

“Are you not going to speak?”

Thud.

Another Larvo member, her shoulder pierced through.

“Heeuk!”

She groaned.

“Ye-seul…!”

The members of Larvo spoke urgently, looking at Choi Ye-seul.

“Shut up.”

Lee Tae-kyum growled at them.

“Only those I allow can speak in this place. If anyone else opens their mouth….”

Lee Tae-kyum’s hand glowed with inner energy [a form of martial arts power].

“I will kill them all.”

There was no one in this place who could ignore Lee Tae-kyum’s words.

“I’ll ask again.”

Lee Tae-kyum seemed slightly drunk, but the murderous intent in his eyes showed that he was simply enjoying this situation.

“Why are you crying?”

“Because I was scared….”

In the end, Choi Ye-seul opened her mouth, pale as a ghost.

“Scared?”

“I, I was just afraid.”

Only then did Lee Tae-kyum smile, as if satisfied.

However.

Screech.

A red line was drawn on Choi Ye-seul’s arm.

Lee Tae-kyum’s inner energy had wounded Choi Ye-seul.

“What were you afraid of?”

Lee Tae-kyum was smiling.

“Was it….”

Lee Tae-kyum lifted her by the collar, bringing her even closer.

“Was it me you were afraid of?”

Choi Ye-seul was even more terrified.

She wanted to lose consciousness, but she couldn’t even do that because of the strength of a player and the pain caused by the inner energy Lee Tae-kyum was pushing into her fingertips.

“Speak.”

“Yes! Yes! I’m afraid!”

Choi Ye-seul finally blurted out.

Swoosh.

Lee Tae-kyum’s hand, which had been holding her collar, released her.

Thud.

Choi Ye-seul collapsed to the floor.

“Haa…. Haa….”

The relief of finally surviving washed over her entire body.

Lee Tae-kyum reached out into the air and clenched his fist.

Clench!

Then, one by one, people’s bodies began to float into the air.

“T, Telekinesis!”

Telekinesis, a mystical art that was not easy to achieve even for those who had reached the realm of the Profound Stage [a high level of martial arts mastery].

To lift people with inner energy, not just objects, was proof of great enlightenment, and at the same time.

“How much immense inner energy…!”

It was something only possible for someone with an unimaginable amount of inner energy.

Those who were dragged out like that.

They were all players.

“To be afraid of me, it can’t be helped.”

“Wh, what….”

“I wasn’t originally a scary person, but to be afraid of me.”

Lee Tae-kyum smiled again.

“I’ll have to become a scary person.”

And then.

“Cough!”

“Ugh!”

Those who had been grabbed by Lee Tae-kyum began to fall, clutching their throats.

Blood flowed from their eyes, noses, and ears.

Their organs were twisting, and blood began to flow in reverse.

The number was over fifty.

“S, save me….”

The martial artists only smiled as they watched them beg for their lives.

Not everyone was like that.

Clench.

When those who thought this was wrong clenched their fists and tried to take a step forward.

“Don’t.”

Other martial artists stopped them.

“It’s Hainan.”

The opponent was Hainan.

And.

“It’s the Great Cloud Sword [a title for a powerful martial artist].”

The fact that Lee Tae-kyum was going to be the next sect leader of Hainan made it impossible for them to move.

They shouldn’t even show that they were frowning.

The Hainan martial artists were the only ones who were somewhat better off.

“…….”

They frowned and turned away, not watching Lee Tae-kyum’s game.

It was a sight they had become accustomed to.

And they were simply accepting everything because of the upper echelons’ decision that could not be changed.

“All of this is because of you.”

“N, no!”

Lee Tae-kyum was about to take the lives of all the players, ignoring Choi Ye-seul’s cries.

Thud!

At that moment, the players who had been lifted up slumped down like puppets with their strings cut.

“Huk! Huk!”

They finally gasped for breath.

“What are you doing?”

A cold, subdued voice.

It was a small voice, but it contained a rage like a fierce wave.

Swoosh!

The martial artists, including those from Hainan, quickly moved aside and began to pay their respects.

Swoosh!

A path opened up.

Their eyes met through the gap.

“I asked what you were doing, Lee Tae-kyum.”

“Senior Brother. Have you arrived?”

The Great Ocean Sword [a title for a powerful martial artist], Oh Jin-kyung, was looking at Lee Tae-kyum.

* * *

“Senior Brother.”

“Lee Tae-kyum.”

The two stood facing each other.

It was as if only the two of them existed in this place, their immense presences clashing against each other like waves.

“I was merely enjoying the feast that was prepared,” Lee Tae-kyum said, as if asking what the problem was.

“Hoo.”

Oh Jin-kyung let out a short sigh and finally took a step forward.

Lee Tae-kyum had moved dozens of players with his inner energy alone, and he could have taken their lives.

It was proof of the level he had reached, the amount of inner energy he possessed.

Everyone who had seen it thought.

‘The next sect leader of Hainan.’

Lee Tae-kyum certainly had the skill and ability to become the next sect leader of Hainan.

And that he would have skills that surpassed the already well-known Oh Jin-kyung.

However.

Crack, crack.

It was being pushed back.

The aura that Lee Tae-kyum was emitting.

Whoosh!

It was being swallowed up and pushed back by the wave created by Oh Jin-kyung, crumbling away.

“……!”

The martial artists’ eyes widened at that.

“Senior Brother.”

Lee Tae-kyum, as if his pride had been hurt, emitted his inner energy with even greater force.

But.

Fwoosh.

Lee Tae-kyum’s aura was being crushed like sand grains, swept away by the wave.

Before they knew it, Oh Jin-kyung was right in front of Lee Tae-kyum.

Oh Jin-kyung was already taller than Lee Tae-kyum.

But at this moment, Oh Jin-kyung had become an even greater presence, like a vast ocean, looking down at Lee Tae-kyum.

“Do not disgrace Hainan’s name while bearing the name of Hainan.”

“Senior Brother.”

Lee Tae-kyum’s teeth were bared.

“What on earth are you talking about? Are you perhaps saying that I am disgracing Hainan right now?”

Then, he reached out his hand.

“Kyaa!”

Lee Tae-kyum grabbed Choi Ye-seul by the hair and said.

“Do you say that Hainan’s name is disgraced by playing with a few players? To you, Senior Brother….”

Smirk.

“Is Hainan that small?”

“Let her go.”

“Do you think I’m still a naive child who only listens to Senior Brother?”

Lee Tae-kyum did not back down.

“Senior Brother. The next sect leader of Hainan is the Great Cloud Sword, not the Great Ocean Sword.”

Ignoring him, he spoke in front of everyone.

Tap!

Oh Jin-kyung’s hand moved and struck Lee Tae-kyum’s arm.

Tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap!

There were several collisions, but what others could see was just one collision.

Oh Jin-kyung had struck Lee Tae-kyum’s arm.

And.

Swoosh.

He had once again released Choi Ye-seul.

“Let’s end the feast here.”

“Senior Brother!”

“Listen carefully.”

Oh Jin-kyung looked at Lee Tae-kyum, then turned around and said.

“Do not disgrace Hainan while bearing the name of Hainan. I will not forgive those who do.”

Whoosh!

A force like a raging torrent was emitted.

Swoosh!

The martial artists bowed their heads, clasping their fists in respect.

Crunch.

Lee Tae-kyum gnashed his teeth as he watched that scene.

Before he knew it, his hand was on the sword hilt at his waist.

At that moment, he imagined drawing his sword and stabbing Oh Jin-kyung in the back.

He thought that if it was his surprise attack, he could inflict a fatal wound on Oh Jin-kyung.

“…….”

But Lee Tae-kyum backed down.

‘Not yet….’

It wasn’t time yet.

Thud.

Oh Jin-kyung walked away as if he had finished everything.

Lee Tae-kyum smiled again as he watched his back.

‘But soon….’

The time will come.

When that time comes, Oh Jin-kyung, who had raised his name, would no longer be a person in this world.

“Enjoy it, Senior Brother.”

When that time came, the Great Ocean Sword, which people compared to the Great Cloud Sword, would not be a person in this world.

Twitch.

Although he had been pushed back by Oh Jin-kyung in this place, he had power.

“Because it will be the last time.”

A true power that had not been revealed.

“Haha. Don’t worry, Great Cloud Sword. Since it has come to this, how about having the party at the mansion owned by our sect?”

“Oh, have you prepared it?”

“Yes. I have prepared a child who will not offend your sensibilities. What about this child….”

They looked at Choi Ye-seul, who was sitting blankly on the ground.

Shudder.

It was when Choi Ye-seul, terrified, trembled.

“My interest has waned. Send her to that great Senior Brother of yours.”

A cold gaze looked down at her.

At that, Choi Ye-seul finally lost consciousness.

* * *

The one who commanded Hainan’s forces was the Great Ocean Sword, Oh Jin-kyung, but after the Great Cloud Sword, Lee Tae-kyum, joined the ranks, their progress was even slower.

“We have prepared a feast.”

The fact that Lee Tae-kyum liked parties.

And in the places created like that.

-If I become the sect leader of Hainan, I will not forget this favor.

As rumors spread that Lee Tae-kyum was making empty promises, the martial artists, wanting to look good, put a lot of effort into preparing the feasts.

The chaos that Lee Tae-kyum had caused at the Comet Sect alliance was not repeated.

Whether it was because they were watching Oh Jin-kyung’s every move, or because he didn’t want to lose interest in something troublesome, Lee Tae-kyum was restraining himself.

And so, where Hainan had passed.

-Hiccup.

The sound of crying spread.

No media outlet spoke about Hainan’s atrocities.

-We are informing you about Hainan’s evil deeds.

Even anonymous posts on communities using the limited internet disappeared in less than a few minutes.

The Earth, which boasted a highly developed mechanical civilization.

It was known that there was nothing that could stop their will and intentions, but in reality, everything was dominated by money, and even the freedom of speech had disappeared.

The only good thing was that secret stories were leaking out through the dark web.

-Hainan, those bastards….

Anger towards them was slowly spreading.

-Hahahaha!

Laughter echoed from afar.

Oh Jin-kyung closed the window, ignoring the loud music.

“…….”

Choi Ye-seul was sitting there quietly.

Her expression was exhausted.

She had been the most popular idol in South Korea until recently, but Lee Tae-kyum had completely changed her life.

Most of the Larvo members had died at the feast that day.

Those who survived were like madmen, completely out of it.

-After all, there is nowhere for you to go anymore.

Due to Lee Tae-kyum’s influence, they would have nowhere to set foot.

-If I were to give you advice with a caring heart, stick with the Great Ocean Sword. No one who has insulted the Great Cloud Sword has survived. If you want to live, stay close to the Great Ocean Sword.

Following the words of the Comet Sect’s leader, Choi Ye-seul went to find the Great Ocean Sword.

And Oh Jin-kyung did nothing to Choi Ye-seul, simply leaving her alone.

“When… when will it end?”

Choi Ye-seul said to Oh Jin-kyung with half-open eyes.
