Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 463

From the moment he saw Shaolin’s seal, he could feel it.

“Bondeno can’t solve this.”

This seal was a formation that even Bondeno, who was more skilled in formations than anyone else, could not unravel.

“What do you mean…”

Bondeno had already unraveled several heavenly-grade formations.

Beyond that, Bondeno had even unraveled formations that were considered unranked and beyond classification.

“It’s not a formation.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“No, to be precise, it could be called a soul formation.”

“Huh?”

The term ‘soul formation’ was something they had never heard of before.

“It’s similar to the Gae Shin Library, I suppose.”

“Ah!”

Only then could the others understand Lee Rowoon’s words.

Something beyond the realm of humans.

Something that had stepped into the realm of transcendence.

“This formation is no longer something that can be called a formation.”

This was also something like the Gae Shin Library.

“The history of Shaolin.”

A product of Shaolin’s history.

Also.

“It’s the history of Shaolin’s demon sealing.”

It was the moment Lee Rowoon touched the sealing formation.

-Kieeeeeeeek!

The sound of vengeful spirits filled the surroundings, causing even Ha Semin and the other experts to cover their ears and frown.

The moment the vengeful spirits, released from the formation, roamed around and swelled in size.

Fwoosh!

Lee Rowoon clenched his fist and shattered them.

The remnants of the vengeful spirits scattered on the floor.

However, they were still wriggling and crawling towards the formation.

“What is this…”

They were experts of the Mystic Realm, no, those who could be called experts of the Life and Death Realm.

Even they, for a moment, covered their ears and showed an opening.

If it hadn’t been for Lee Rowoon.

Gulp.

They didn’t know what would have happened if the vengeful spirits had rushed at them.

“Think about it.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“Shaolin imprisoned and sealed those they considered demonic.”

A ritual to seal demons.

Then.

“Do you think they would have been released?”

What would have been the fate of the demonic figures?

“Some would have repented and atoned. But they are all the same. If you think about Shaolin’s methods…”

“They would have had to pay the price.”

Shaolin was not just a group of monks, but a pillar of martial arts.

They were the Asura [demigods of war] and Rakshasa [demons] who punished the guilty.

“The vengeful spirits of countless demonic figures who died while sealed, they would have tried to help them achieve enlightenment after their deaths, but would they have been able to achieve it?”

They accumulated and accumulated.

And so, the resentful spirits gathered….

“Shaolin used them.”

They used them to seal other demonic figures.

That was this.

“Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation.”

“How… it’s a chilling name for Shaolin to use.”

The worst and greatest absolute formation and sealing formation was this.

“……!”

At that moment, Ha Semin’s eyes widened.

“Could this be!”

Lee Sanhoo was the same.

The two, who could be said to be the smartest in the Milky Way, had something in mind as they listened to Lee Rowoon’s words.

“Yes.”

It was the correct answer.

“The Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation is, in theory, the best absolute formation that can seal anything.”

Then.

“This is the stake.”

This was the stake that suppressed and restricted the power of the players.

“……!”

The moment they saw the true nature of the stake they had been searching for, Ha Semin and the others’ faces darkened.

They realized that what they thought would be as simple as finding and pulling out the stake was another battle against something like the Gae Shin Library.

Also, before that.

“Shaolin…”

Shaolin as well.

Two huge mountains to overcome.

“Not yet.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“Not yet.”

There was still something he hadn’t said.

* * *

The ashes that had been completely burned.

There was no more expectation, and there was no desire, that was who he was.

That was the person who had met his masters and returned to Earth against his will.

Things he hadn’t wanted at first.

Thump.

Became things he wanted one by one.

He had no noble intentions, either now or then, to reclaim the rights of the people of Earth or to punish the martial artists.

But, still.

‘It’s not bad.’

It was not a bad feeling.

He realized that a spark remained in him, who he thought had been completely burned out.

Flames.

Lee Rowoon was realizing that it was slowly rekindling.

And now.

‘The end.’

He had now reached the end.

The land where he was born and raised, South Korea.

The Mount Hua that had dominated South Korea had fallen.

The Mount Hua that had pushed him into the abyss had fallen.

South Korea was free from Mount Hua’s grasp, and now all that remained was to liberate all of Asia from the hands of the martial artists.

That was simply because this place was his territory.

And now he had reached the end.

-Shaolin.

There was no need to think about the other Nine Great Sects.

The majority of the Nine Great Sects had already sided with the Milky Way, and they were expressing their doubts about everything the Assembly had done so far.

Kunlun and Emei were struggling to block the pit of Gehenna, and Wudang and Jeomchang were in his grasp.

-Jongnam.

Jongnam had locked the door and cut off communication with the Assembly, ignoring Baek Cheong and the others who had gone missing in the incident in Ainhardt and not even sending rescue.

So now, only Shaolin remained.

No.

“Now…”

Lee Rowoon said.

“Because I’m ready.”

In fact, all of this was just a way to buy time.

“Huh? What do you mean…”

“I was scared.”

Lee Rowoon muttered to himself.

“I was also afraid.”

“……!”

Everyone’s eyes widened at Lee Rowoon’s words.

Afraid.

Lee Rowoon had never used such an expression even once.

“…….”

He closed his mouth.

Now was not the time to question him.

It was time to listen to his words.

“It lingered in my ears and wouldn’t leave.”

Yes, it was.

-If we meet again….

The people he had relied on again, when he was burned out and had nowhere to turn.

Lee Shinwoo was his blood relative, but in fact, they were much closer and warmer.

-We will have to kill each other.

The reunion with his masters was terrifying.

He would find them.

Even if it meant the destruction of the world.

It was right for him to see his masters’ faces one more time, rather than this world that had done nothing for him.

So, he thought it would be okay if he could see his masters, even if he lost everything again.

But.

“It was driving me crazy.”

The fact that he had to lose them.

The fact that he had to fight them.

He was so afraid that he had turned away.

This was a confession.

“Ha.”

Emotions surged.

“In the end…”

Now he could understand even more.

“Were you waiting for me again this time?”

At least the Martial King could have contacted him at any time if he wanted to.

The reason he didn’t was.

-Come.

He had waited.

-Come to me when you are ready.

He had given him time until then, so that he would not give up.

“You were still teaching me.”

Even now, he was still teaching him.

The confession was over.

The sorting of his mind as well.

So, it was time to say what he hadn’t said yet.

“This Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation cannot be unraveled. It will take me quite some time, too. Of course, assuming I have Bondeno’s help.”

He opened his mouth.

“There is a way to go to Shaolin, but it will be the same.”

This Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation was only a part of the main body.

The main body would be in Shaolin.

“There, a huge vengeful spirit that cannot be compared to this will be protecting and imprisoning Shaolin.”

Shaolin had been fighting and using it for their entire lives.

But there was one thing.

“There is a way to ignore all of that.”

“Huh? What is it?”

At Ha Semin’s question.

“The Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation is only opening a path for one person.”

Lee Rowoon answered and moved his hand.

Fwoosh.

Lee Rowoon’s hand collided with the formation again.

Just like before.

-Kieeeeeeeek!

The vengeful spirits surged out and circled the room.

However, unlike before, their screams were not as terrifying as if they were tearing at their ears.

Rather, they were as warm as a mother calling for her child.

“Who would be the demon of the era that Shaolin thinks of, the evil spirit that the Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation must imprison more than anyone else?”

It was.

“Me.”

“……!”

This Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation would open a path for only one person.

To swallow him, to imprison him.

And that was Lee Rowoon himself.

“No!”

Ha Semin shouted.

“Stop it!”

Lee Sanhoo also shouted.

They had realized it.

What Lee Rowoon was trying to do, why Lee Rowoon hadn’t told them the story.

“Jincheon!”

“Lee Rowoon!”

“Blood Demon!”

They called out to Lee Rowoon in their own ways.

But it was already too late.

-Kieeeeeeeek!

As they moved to reach Lee Rowoon, the vengeful spirits raged, tearing at their ears and twisting their blood and energy.

They were saying.

-Don’t interfere!

Don’t interfere.

“The Blood Cult has already prospered. The new name, Milky Way, will blend in better than the existing one with the word ‘blood’ in it.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“The Haoh Clan’s long-cherished wish has also been fulfilled. You no longer need to be in the shadows. Blend in with the world and live in the world.”

“Jincheon!”

“The shackles that bound the players will be released. However.”

Swoosh.

Someone who arrived late.

Lee Rowoon said, looking at Lee Shinwoo.

“It’s not unusual for players who have regained their power to burn with resentment. There will be many disturbances and incidents because of that. Don’t try to restrain them too much, because what needs to be released must be released. Leave it to the natural order, but intervene when appropriate.”

A voice directed at Lee Shinwoo.

“…Have you decided?”

Lee Shinwoo said.

“Yeah.”

Lee Rowoon replied.

“Not yet!”

Ha Semin shouted.

“We still need Jincheon!”

It was not yet clear what Lee Rowoon was going to do.

But it was ominous.

“Jincheon! It’s Jincheon who has achieved this!”

“There’s no need to say that.”

Lee Rowoon replied.

“It’s just because I might not see you for a while.”

“What do you mean…””I still have two more masters to find. I’m not disappearing from here.”

“Jincheon…”

Ha Semin closed his mouth at Lee Rowoon’s firm voice.

Lee Sanhoo and Lee Shinwoo as well.

They couldn’t say anything.

“…….”

It was the first time Lee Rowoon had shown such determination.

Swoosh.

It was their destiny to follow Lee Rowoon.

“Jincheon.”

Ha Semin knelt down.

“I will assume that we will meet again in the near future.”

He bowed his head.

Thump!

He pressed his forehead to the ground.

It was a loyalty that Ha Semin had never shown before.

“I will not forget anything that Jincheon has done, anything that Jincheon has achieved, and I will make sure that no one else forgets it either.”

“It’s burdensome. Still, I thought you understood my heart, but I guess not.”

“Because this is the right thing to do.”

Lee Sanhoo.

Thump.

He also knelt down.

For a player to kneel and show such respect was even more than what Ha Semin had done.

“There was a similar incident in the past, wasn’t there?”

However.

“People forget. They forget who gave them their freedom, their peaceful daily lives. It is only human nature to not forget that.”

“Do as you please.”

Lee Rowoon looked at Lee Shinwoo.

“…….”

Lee Shinwoo with a complicated face.

“Go and come back.”

When his answer was over.

Whoosh-!

The Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation sucked Lee Rowoon in.
