Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 436

The closing gate of the Scripture Repository.

Through the gap, Lee Ro-woon’s blood-red tendril reached in.

Clack!

The blood-red tendril blocked the door, preventing it from closing.

The gate of the Scripture Repository, which had been closing.

Clack!

It began to open as if being torn apart.

Lee Ro-woon threw himself inside.

Bang!

The energy Shin-gae unleashed struck Lee Ro-woon directly, creating a loud explosion.

He managed to block Shin-gae’s attack with a blood barrier, but.

Thud!

He couldn’t avoid being pushed back by the impact.

The energy contained in Shin-gae’s blow.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

The energy was ominous.

Taeeeng!

The blood-red tendril blocking the gate of the Scripture Repository began to break.

The tendril was torn and shattered.

The door that had been opening was closing again.

“Did you think you could just walk in?”

Shin-gae’s voice was mocking.

At that moment.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon’s figure disappeared like a shadow.

“………!”

Shin-gae missed Lee Ro-woon’s movement for a moment.

Lee Ro-woon was already.

“I think I can.”

Standing in front of the Scripture Repository.

With the blood he had scattered, with the burst of blood-red tendrils.

Wooong!

He had hidden his form with an illusion magic circle.

A master like Shin-gae would be sensitive to the flow of energy, so this trick wouldn’t normally work, but the owner of the magic circle was the Demon King Berzena, and it was.

-Damn it, how did he even get this magic circle…

It was Bonde-no who had improved and reinforced that magic circle.

Whoosh!

And it was Lee Ro-woon who cast it.

Thud.

He was able to deceive even Shin-gae’s eyes.

The most important thing now was to prevent this door from closing.

The gate of the Scripture Repository could only be opened by the gatekeeper, and only they could enter.

Thud.

Lee Ro-woon didn’t even know how to open the door.

Now was the time.

The perfect opportunity to enter the Scripture Repository.

Lee Ro-woon, stepping through the air, was about to cross the gate of the Scripture Repository when.

Thump!

Lee Ro-woon’s heart pounded as if it was about to drop.

Followed by.

Whoooosh-!

It felt as if everything in the world was being sucked into Lee Ro-woon.

-Aaaaaa.

Knowledge, information, voices, and something beyond that.

Even the transcendental realm.

Whoosh!

It seeped into Lee Ro-woon’s body and brain, as if burning everything he was.

The distant screams filling his head were just the beginning.

Then, pain that felt like tearing apart his entire body and brain followed.

Wobble!

Pain that was hard even for Lee Ro-woon to endure.

And Shin-gae did not miss that opening.

Bang!

Shin-gae’s palm struck Lee Ro-woon’s back directly.

With a loud explosion, Lee Ro-woon was pushed away from the door.

Crack!

The gate of the Scripture Repository, which he had barely managed to hold onto, was about to close completely.

“Did you think just anyone could step foot in here? No matter how much of a Divine Demon you are.”

Shin-gae said.

“The Scripture Repository is a place only the gatekeeper can enter.”

Lee Ro-woon, falling in pain.

A blood-red vortex began to swirl in his hand.

Whoosh!

Finally, it revealed itself as a large greatsword.

It was Rage.

Whoosh!

The greatsword released from Lee Ro-woon’s hand shot towards the gate of the Scripture Repository faster than an arrow.

Swoooosh!

Shin-gae released another palm to block it, but.

Swoosh.

Rage quickly shrunk in size and became Greed, absorbing the energy contained in Shin-gae’s palm.

Soon after, Rage reached its destination.

Clack!

It became a lever, blocking the mouth of the Scripture Repository.

It was no use even if Shin-gae moved.

“How…”

Lee Ro-woon had already overcome the pain that had engulfed him and was standing in front of Shin-gae.

This time.

“It’s my turn.”

Lee Ro-woon’s hand struck Shin-gae’s chest.

* * *

“How…”

Shin-gae looked at Lee Ro-woon as if he couldn’t believe it.

-The Scripture Repository.

The treasure of the Open Sect, no, even if you consider the entire Silver [a powerful organization], the Scripture Repository was the treasure of treasures.

But that was what those who didn’t know its true value said.

The value of the Scripture Repository was beyond imagination, and at the same time, it had a lock to match.

That no one but the gatekeeper could enter.

That was a restriction, and if it was violated.

“Cough!”

Something that no human could endure would come.

Shin-gae, who had coughed up blood, looked at Lee Ro-woon.

Clearly, the lock of the Scripture Repository had worked properly.

The proof was Lee Ro-woon’s eyes, which were dyed blue and glowing.

Right now, Lee Ro-woon was receiving a vast amount of information, as if the world itself had entered his small body, and he was experiencing the history of the Scripture Repository in an instant.

That pain was.

-This is one of the tests to become the owner of the Scripture Repository.

Shin-gae had also experienced it in the past, even if it was just for a moment.

A pain that could never be endured.

The amount of information that made you forget not only how to stand on two legs, but even how to stand at all.

And yet…

“How are you enduring it!”

Lee Ro-woon was calmly enduring it and even facing Shin-gae.

Grab!

Lee Ro-woon’s face contorted.

Another terrible pain had struck him again.

But.

“………”

Lee Ro-woon’s expression was gradually improving.

At first, it seemed like he was just enduring it, but now he was overcoming it.

No.

“Haa.”

He seemed to be getting used to it.

“Unbelievable!”

Clearly, Lee Ro-woon was still under the influence of the Scripture Repository.

Those blue eyes.

He hadn’t severed his connection with the Scripture Repository in the way that was passed down to the gatekeeper, yet he was enduring something that was hard for a human to endure.

“Indeed, so this is what it was…”

Lee Ro-woon said with a sigh.

Thud.

As if regaining control of his entire body, Lee Ro-woon walked towards Shin-gae and said.

“But it’s not unbearable.”

Lee Ro-woon was truly enduring the Scripture Repository.

“Compared to the thing I devoured, which can’t be simply called a world.”

That thing that was always writhing within him.

If the pain brought by that was nothing more than that.

Clack.

The pain given by the Scripture Repository was just like a hot burn.

Lee Ro-woon grabbed Shin-gae’s face.

Even at that moment, Shin-gae couldn’t react.

“That can’t be…, that can’t be.”

He was shocked that the Scripture Repository had not affected Lee Ro-woon.

And.

Wham!

Lee Ro-woon grabbed Shin-gae’s face and slammed it into the ground.

Bang!

The ground cracked with a loud explosion.

“Cough!”

Shin-gae coughed up blood.

But it wasn’t over yet.

Crack!

Lee Ro-woon, with his hand still gripping Shin-gae’s face, pushed down with force.

Thud!

The cracks that had formed on the ground spread further, creating an even more intricate spiderweb pattern.

The blue light in Lee Ro-woon’s eyes grew even more intense.

And in the next moment.

Wham!

Finally, the ground where Shin-gae had been slammed shattered.

Swoooosh!

A cold wind rushed over their bodies.

The scene of the two falling was gradually distorted and changed.

Whoosh!

The transformed scene was.

Whoosh!

A world on fire.

Flames engulfed everything.

Clang!

The sound of weapons clashing.

“Aaaah!”

The screams of humans echoed through the place.

“Welcome.”

Lee Ro-woon said to Shin-gae, who was still frozen.

“This is your world, the Open Sect.”

* * *

It was a dragon.

A huge body, a shadow that covered the sky.

Wham!

The breath it exhaled was truly burning and destroying everything.

-Hmph.

It snorted.

It was Nidhogg.

-Just bugs fighting each other.

Below it, those wearing blood-red uniforms and those wearing black uniforms were fighting each other.

The men in black uniforms, or those in suits, were constantly swinging their staffs and reaching out their hands, but.

Flap.

-It’s already tilted.

The momentum had already shifted.

Blood-red.

The world was red from the flames, and red from their blood.

And those in red uniforms, as if covered in it.

Clang!

They were truly crushing the black uniforms.

The Silver and the Open Sect.

“I grant the release of all restrictions-!”

With Jung Chi-soo and Ha Se-min’s shouts, the Silver’s energy surged.

They had clashed with the Volcano Sect several times.

And there were times when they had felt their limits.

But the Open Sect, the Open Sect was different.

“Are these really the Open Sect?”

That was the kind of illusion and doubt they had.

The Open Sect, which held one of the Nine Great Sects [powerful martial arts factions].

They stood tall in that long history and could be called the ruling class of the Silver.

There would be no end to the problems with them.

And also about their skills.

The Open Sect accepts anyone, player or martial artist.

Among them, there were skilled wanderers, but there were also many who were just thugs with the label of player.

The reason why the Open Sect could not be ignored was their numbers.

But their true form was.

“Those bastards.”

They had martial arts that had been with the Open Sect throughout its history.

The elders and the Open Sect’s strike force were moving.

Indeed, they were holding out quite well against the Silver.

But that was all.

“Kuh!”

The Open Sect was clearly being pushed back.

“What is this, like monsters…. Damn it!”

It was also because the Silver’s skills were beyond imagination.

Wham!

The problem was that the Open Sect’s skills were more pathetic than they thought.

Except for the direct members of the Open Sect, who were like the Golden Dogs of the past.

Wham!

They were just skilled enough to say that they were barely holding onto one of the Nine Great Sects.

And above in the sky.

“It seems like that side is almost over too.”

Something was falling from the cracked sky.

To the martial artists who had enhanced their eyesight with internal energy, it was visible.

“The result doesn’t seem to be different.”

The sight of Lee Ro-woon crushing and trampling on Shin-gae.

And so.

“Waaaaaaa-!”

The Silver’s momentum exploded even further, and the Open Sect’s faces contorted.

Since they were clearly losing in the leader’s battle, it was perhaps natural that the momentum would carry over to everyone.

But.

“…It won’t be that easy.”

Something was strange.

Ha Se-min.

He stopped and said.

“The Open Sect’s potential can’t be just this.”

He knew better than anyone.

“Are you talking about the disciples of the Open Sect Master?”

They were fighting over there.

Those entangled with Lee Yong-jin, Dang Hwa-young, and others.

They were indeed fighting with skills better than the Golden Dogs of the past, as if the fact that they were the disciples of the Open Sect Master was not a lie.

But that was all.

They were not special either.

As if all that fame was just a false reputation, the Open Sect’s main force was never…

“That’s not it.”

Ha Se-min said.

“The Open Sect is…”

The Black Lion, which stood in opposition to the Open Sect and was always compared to them.

They were forces that had competed with each other since the Silver was intact, trying to determine who was superior.

But not even once.

Not even once had the Black Lion, the Hao Clan, stood above the Open Sect.

When the new gate opened, the Black Lion tried to rebound again, but they couldn’t.

“Their true potential is…”

Wooong-!

“It is unleashed when the Open Sect Master is present.”

Everyone was looking up at that sky.

“Shin-gae. He is…”

Whoooooosh-!

Blue light began to pour down in all directions.

“As he said, he is the god of the Open Sect.”

Wham!
