Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 419

-What on earth are you mistaken about?

Elk, with a distorted face, tilted his head and spoke to Lee Ro-woon.

-You are….

“Mistaken?”

Lee Ro-woon said, looking into his eyes.

Suddenly, it felt like noise was filling his head.

It was as if he had heard a similar story before.

-The spirit I feared from the beginning was you.

Those words of the Spirit Doctor.

With those words, the Spirit Doctor’s soul was shattered by the interference of Chaos.

Why was he remembering that moment now?

-It’s a misunderstanding.

And what misunderstanding was Elk talking about?

“Speak.”

Lee Ro-woon said, pressing Elk further.

“I need to know.”

Lee Ro-woon, who didn’t usually care about many things, now needed to know.

He felt like he had to confirm this unease that had been growing in his heart.

“Speak.”

Clang!

Sparks flew as their bodies collided.

Kwaaaang!

The shockwave from their collision swept through the area, creating a dust storm.

-You are….

Just as Elk was about to open his mouth.

Thud!

He felt like his heart was sinking.

And with that.

Ziiiiiiing.

A ringing in his ears and a strange noise in his head.

His vision blurred.

“Keuh!”

Lee Ro-woon spat out a mouthful of blood.

Stagger.

Lee Ro-woon lost his balance and stepped back.

“What….”

Lee Ro-woon muttered, wiping the blood from his mouth.

From the Heavenly Demon Divine Art and Blood Demon Divine Art to the Ring of the Monarch.

No, with just the teachings of his master, the Martial King, Lee Ro-woon had the ability to perfectly control and harmonize his body.

There was no reason for him to experience such a sudden change in condition.

This was….

“Cough!”

It wasn’t a change happening in his body.

Zzzzt!

It was a shock coming from his soul.

His vision blurred, and it shook as if the system was breaking down.

“Kuhhh!”

It felt like he would lose his balance and collapse if he didn’t try his hardest.

Fortunately, Elk was also not moving.

Like Lee Ro-woon, Elk was also.

-You are….

He was muttering something while looking at the empty space.

That made it clear.

If not only he but Elk was also being affected.

“This damn….”

What was the cause?

“Chaos…!”

The Chaos, which should have been dormant for the time being, was raging.

As if answering Lee Ro-woon’s call, his energy began to surge.

Kwaang!

It felt like a chain reaction of explosions was happening inside his body.

And then, in the next moment.

-Blood Demon Lord!

Another voice echoed in his head.

“Kang….”

A familiar voice.

“Kang Eun-ha?”

It was her voice, the one he had hoped would become a temporary shackle for Chaos.

“What on earth is going on….”

-The situation is not good!

Kang Eun-ha’s voice sounded urgent.

-It’s raging as if we’ve touched something we shouldn’t have!

“Control….”

-It’s beyond my ability to control!

That was to be expected.

Kang Eun-ha had invaded Chaos and became a shackle to control it, but that didn’t mean she was strong enough to stop Chaos.

Originally, she shouldn’t even be able to produce that consciousness and voice.

‘Is Chaos raging this much?’

It must be possible because Chaos was raging beyond its limits.

“Keuh!”

If it was the usual Chaos, it would have wanted something.

It would have subtly approached to have a conversation.

But now, Chaos was raging as if it was just trying to destroy everything.

“This crazy bastard….”

Eventually, it would also harm Chaos itself, yet Chaos was going berserk like a madman.

“A…way.”

Lee Ro-woon said through his blurring vision.

“A way!”

Kang Eun-ha’s voice was heard.

She was also connected to Chaos.

It would be impossible for her to control the entire Chaos, but if she could create an opening, she could temporarily calm Chaos down.

-You need to focus!

Kang Eun-ha’s voice.

“On what….”

-Anything! To the point of turning off all consciousness, but without losing control of your body!

Kang Eun-ha shouted.

-If you lose consciousness!

If he lost consciousness.

-You won’t be able to wake up for a while.

“That means….”

-Yes. It means that the thing that’s raging now will take over your body and move!

It was a terrible thing.

Stagger.

Lee Ro-woon barely managed to regain his balance and stood up.

In the distance, Balak and Ramang looked worried and seemed to be shouting something, but fortunately, they were not approaching this way.

They seemed to realize that what was happening was unusual at a glance, and that their intervention would be a hindrance.

It was fortunate that they were quick-witted.

‘Focus.’

Kang Eun-ha said.

He needed something to focus on.

Stagger.

What his masters had taught him was to harmonize his body, his inner self, and the outside world, and to entrust everything to something.

Nowhere among the things his masters had taught him….

-There is no way to train your mind.

There was no way to touch Lee Ro-woon’s mind.

The reason was simple.

-Because your mind is already complete.

Whoosh!

A dark red aura began to surge from Lee Ro-woon’s entire body.

Lee Ro-woon, who had seemed about to collapse just a moment ago, slowly straightened his bent knees and stood up straight.

Something to focus on.

There was nothing left in the world that he had to focus all his mind and effort on.

But there was one thing.

“I’m…lucky.”

There was a sensation he had felt just a moment ago.

Chaos.

The memory of when he fought against it.

The memory of having to fight, forgetting everything, or rather, having to forget, forgetting time and flow.

And….

Thud!

The joy of that time.

Everyone places value on their reason for existence.

In the past, Lee Ro-woon had staked everything on Dank and the player’s achievements.

But he had come to realize.

‘My reason for existence is….’

Facing Chaos, confronting Chaos.

Kwaaang!

It was to fight Chaos.

Lee Ro-woon threw away his greed.

Now, there was nothing in his hands.

Fizz! Fzzzt!

Only dark red lightning.

Lee Ro-woon.

Kwaaaang!

He struck Elk with it.

* * *

“……!”

Ramang and Balak even forgot to breathe.

They knew that living beings had to breathe to survive.

“Hah.”

They exhaled the breath they had been holding only when their faces were already flushed red.

“We….”

It was a series of unbelievable events.

Nidhogg, the purification of the World Tree, the destruction of Yggdrasil.

-And Elk’s corruption.

All of it was unbelievable.

But more unbelievable than anything was Lee Ro-woon, who had made it all possible.

Lee Ro-woon, who laughed at the thought that it was over and showed something even greater.

What they thought was the limit was not the limit, and what they thought was his full power was not his full power.

And when they faced Elk, they thought they would finally see his end.

-Elk.

Elk, the god and guardian of the elves, was a being worthy of the name of a god.

And Elk, who had become corrupted, was an existence of transcendence that brought only fear and terror.

Watching Lee Ro-woon confront him, Ramang and Balak thought that it would still be a bit difficult.

No.

Kwaaaaaaa-!

Until they saw this.

The change had happened in an instant.

Lee Ro-woon, who seemed to be pushed back a little, suddenly coughed up blood, adjusted his posture, and then.

Kwaaang!

He was pushing Elk back.

“That’s….”

Elves also had swordsmanship and martial arts.

They existed for fighting, and those who reached a certain level would have some form or pattern.

But Lee Ro-woon was not like that.

No, the current Lee Ro-woon was.

Kwaang!

He was just like a beast.

As if his only purpose was to eradicate the being in front of him, he charged and charged again.

Elk was moving his body, deflecting Lee Ro-woon’s attacks, but.

Whack!

Lee Ro-woon didn’t care about his own injuries or body, as if he only had one goal.

“Krr….”

He was just charging like a beast to bite and kill his opponent.

Lee Ro-woon forced his fist through the black blades that Elk had created.

The moment that fist hit Elk’s face.

Kwaaang!

Dozens of explosions occurred simultaneously behind Elk.

-Keuh!

Elk, who was close to being a spirit, finally screamed and began to collapse.

Whoosh!

Even then, Elk opened his arms, unleashing an even greater power as if he had been hiding it all along.

Other arms sprouted from his back.

Kwakwakwaka!

The air vibrated, and black vortexes began to form everywhere.

Lee Ro-woon charged towards Elk.

Elk, towards Lee Ro-woon.

Whoosh!

He extended all the arms that had sprouted as if throwing them.

Kwaaaaaaa!

The black vortexes merged into one and swallowed Lee Ro-woon.

A black vortex that would tear apart and annihilate anything.

But the scene that followed was.

Whoosh!

Lee Ro-woon escaped the vortex and charged at Elk, scattering blood all over his body.

“I’ve….”

Lee Ro-woon, who had climbed on top of Elk.

“Missed this.”

Lee Ro-woon was smiling.

The brightest smile in the world.

Kwaang!

Lee Ro-woon brought his fists together and struck down.

Kwaaang!

Twice, three times, four times.

No, as if he was going to turn Elk himself into dust, Lee Ro-woon climbed on top of Elk and continued to strike him.

Kwaaaaaang!

It was the moment when a huge explosion and a gray dust obscured all vision.

-Kuhhh!

Elk groaned.

He barely stood up and staggered, looking at Lee Ro-woon.

-You…, you are….

He seemed to want to say something, but.

Whoosh!

Lee Ro-woon didn’t seem to have any intention of giving him a chance.

Swoosh.

Elk’s figure distorted like a mirage and disappeared.

Where Elk had appeared.

Flash.

Lee Ro-woon had already arrived.

Elk disappeared again, and Lee Ro-woon caught up with him.

In the next moment.

Crack!

A horn sprouted from Elk’s forehead.

“……!”

Ramang and Balak knew what it was.

Elk’s horn.

It was the symbol of Elk and the proof that he could connect to Yggdrasil [the World Tree in Norse mythology].

As if to prove it.

Kwadudududuk!

The roots that sprouted from the floor, walls, and ceiling of Yggdrasil extended towards Lee Ro-woon and Elk.

It became a shackle to bind Lee Ro-woon and a shield to protect Elk.

Crack!

The roots of Yggdrasil were embedded in Elk’s entire body.

Twitch.

It was interacting with Elk’s body, infusing it with enormous magical power as if it had become a blood vessel.

Elk’s body began to swell.

-Now I have!

Elk’s voice echoed throughout Yggdrasil.

-Embraced the power of this world-!

There is the core of the world in the roots of Yggdrasil.

The last World Tree that had grown huge by using the world’s energy as nourishment.

Elk had received all of that power, but.

Crack!

Lee Ro-woon had pierced Elk’s heart.

Where Lee Ro-woon had been trapped, the shattered roots of Yggdrasil were scattering like rain.

Swoosh.

Elk lowered his eyes.

What he saw in his eyes was a beast with red eyes.

-Ah… Ah….

And a transcendent being in a place he could never reach.

Boom!

Elk’s entire body exploded like fireworks.
