Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 465

“Sit down.”

Following Shin Yeoul’s guidance, Lee Rowoon moved and sat down.

In a world full of blue greenery, a Go board appeared before Lee Rowoon’s eyes as he sat on the swaying grass.

-Would you like to play a round?

Go was his master’s only hobby.

-I don’t know why I only trained in martial arts my whole life, I should have done this fun thing sooner.

His master always looked peaceful and happy when playing Go.

But whenever he tried to play Go with his master.

-That’s enough.

His master always refused.

He had never played Go with his master even once in over a hundred years.

“Would you like to play a round?”

His master asked as he had back then.

“Yes. Let’s play.”

The moment Lee Rowoon’s voice fell.

Swish.

The surrounding stones began to rise naturally.

The moment Shin Yeoul flicked his finger.

Clatter!

The risen stones turned into shining Go stones and piled up beside Lee Rowoon and Shin Yeoul.

If someone had seen this sight, they would have shouted.

It was a near-miraculous event, but the two of them were not surprised.

“Will you take black?”

They were just talking and looking at the Go board.

“You can do as you wish, Master.”

“Then I won’t refuse and will take black.”

The game began.

“Heh heh.”

Shin Yeoul laughed as if he was dumbfounded.

“Did you always know how to play Go?”

“I’ve been watching over your shoulder for nearly a hundred years. It would be a lie if I hadn’t learned anything.”

“You’re quite good for that.”

“Who do you think I learned from?”

Shin Yeoul smiled faintly.

White hair, a sculpted face.

Shin Yeoul, illuminated by a light that seemed to come from nowhere, looked like a painting.

“Do you know why I didn’t play Go with you?”

Shin Yeoul said.

“Because you were tired.”

At Lee Rowoon’s answer.

“…….”

Shin Yeoul paused and then carefully placed a stone.

“Did you know?”

“Yes. I realized what Go was by watching you play, Master.”

Lee Rowoon also placed a stone and said.

“Go was like a war. You didn’t want to have even this small war with me, Master.”

And.

“That’s right.”

Shin Yeoul’s answer came.

“You can learn a lot just by playing Go. How you fight. How I fight. Things like that.”

Shin Yeoul looked at Lee Rowoon.

“Do you still think so?”

“…….”

“Do you think I didn’t want to play Go with you because I didn’t want to have even this small war with you?”

The smile had disappeared from Shin Yeoul’s face.

A face that was nothing but serious.

“No.”

Lee Rowoon also looked at him and said.

That thought had now changed.

Press.

Lee Rowoon pressed down on the Go board.

And.

Boom-!

The explosion that occurred in an instant overturned everything.

The Go board between them turned into sand and scattered, and the greenery that had filled their surroundings was torn to shreds and floated up.

‘I thought Master didn’t want to have even this small war.’

That’s what he had thought.

“Master.”

Now it was completely changed.

Thud!

Like a giant meteorite had fallen, the ground was deeply dented, and Lee Rowoon and Shin Yeoul were floating in the air above it, just as they had been when they first sat down.

“You already knew this would happen.”

Yes.

“To not reveal yourself, Master, for the war you would have with me someday.”

Also.

“And because you didn’t want to know me beforehand, before that war.”

That was why.

The reason why Shin Yeoul had not played Go with him.

“You, Masters, were preparing for this day when you accepted me as your disciple.”

And.

“Yes. That’s the correct answer.”

Kwaaaaaa-!

Fierce energy surged and spread from Shin Yeoul’s entire body.

Clang!

The walls and ceiling of the cave, hit by the energy, crumbled.

Kwaaang!

The energy colliding with the air was causing violent waves.

How could anyone think that this was the energy emitted by a mere human?

The Martial King trains himself, the Sword King becomes one with nature.

The Demon King.

‘Overwhelms and takes everything.’

The Martial King, Shin Yeoul, with his own power alone.

“You’ve become even more vigorous.”

A great king who rivals even the Sword King and the Demon King.

“I had no choice but to be, since I’ve been resting here idly. Yes.”

Shin Yeoul rose from the empty air.

“That’s the correct answer.”

From the moment Lee Rowoon became their disciple.

“This moment is the moment that we three kings had planned. We were always waiting and preparing for this time.”

Lee Rowoon stood up to face him.

“So, are you ready to face your fate now?”

At Shin Yeoul’s question.

Kwaaang!

Lee Rowoon answered by throwing a punch.

* * *

The masters had never spoken empty words.

As kings and apexes of a world, they had kept every word they had spoken.

And.

-If we meet again.

That last thing the masters had said.

-We will have to kill each other, disciple.

It had to be true.

So.

Kwaaaaaaa!

Lee Rowoon did not dare to try to persuade Shin Yeoul.

To beg pathetically and turn his master’s heart was rather an insult to his master.

Kwaaaaaaa-!

If this was what his master wanted.

Clang!

It was the disciple’s duty to fight him according to his master’s will.

The crossed fists.

The moment they touched each other’s chest.

Kwaaaaaa-!

A huge explosion spread in all directions.

The two who had been thrown back regained their balance in the same pose, as if reflected in a mirror.

“Your fist is fierce.”

Lee Rowoon’s words and.

“And your fist is soft.”

Shin Yeoul’s answer.

“Cough!”

But soon, the two of them staggered, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

It looked like a punch that even an ordinary person, not even a player, could throw.

Kwaaaaaa-!

But Lee Rowoon’s and Shin Yeoul’s were different.

No forms, no styles, no techniques.

But that was.

“Still, you’ve learned quite well.”

The essence of martial arts and.

“Didn’t I learn from you, Master?”

The pinnacle of martial arts.

Swish.

Shin Yeoul’s figure disappeared.

But in the next moment, Shin Yeoul’s figure appeared in Lee Rowoon’s eyes.

The realm of transcendence.

It was Lee Rowoon who had chased and faced the slowed-down time.

Again, a fist came flying.

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!

Seeing the fist flickering with blood, Lee Rowoon avoided it instead of confronting it.

However.

“Too late.”

A voice came from behind.

The time he thought he had chased and faced was a bait that Shin Yeoul had deliberately laid.

He had slowed down time even more and had already taken Lee Rowoon’s rear.

In Lee Rowoon’s eyes, who quickly turned around, Shin Yeoul’s fist was visible.

Kwaaaaaaa-!

The purple holy fire blazing.

A flame more sacred than anything in the world.

Kwaaang!

It exploded, hitting Lee Rowoon’s chest directly.

Whoosh!

The holy fire began to burn all over Lee Rowoon’s body.

Kwaaang!

Lee Rowoon crashed into the cave wall, piercing through it.

Kwaaaang!

He was finally able to stop after crashing several more times.

“Cough!”

His internal organs were battered, torn to shreds, and it felt like they would burst out of his mouth at any moment.

He thought he had barely managed to deflect it at the last moment.

“Haa…. Haa….”

Even with just a fragment of that power, this was the result.

Blood Demon Divine Art, Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Kwaaaaaa-!

Divine Demon Divine Art.

Through the wall that Lee Rowoon had flown through and broken, the white-haired Shin Yeoul was walking calmly.

White energy surged around Shin Yeoul.

That was.

“Disciple.”

The true Divine Demon Divine Art.

What Lee Rowoon had learned from his masters was what they had divided and separated from what they had in order to become a perfect one.

So, with those, he could not become a perfect one.

Lee Rowoon’s Divine Demon Divine Art was just a forced amplification of the Blood Demon Divine Art and the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Of course, it was true that it was an unparalleled divine art even with just that.

Kwaaaaaa!

But it was nothing compared to Shin Yeoul’s Divine Demon Divine Art.

Something completed.

Something perfect meant that there was nothing to criticize.

His master’s Divine Demon Divine Art was.

“Is that all?”

Such perfection and martial arts itself.

“You’re too much.”

Lee Rowoon said, staggering as he stood up.

“Here, I can’t use anything except martial arts.”

Vengeful Spirit Demonic Formation.

And.

Whoooosh-!

This was the power that Shin Yeoul possessed.

-Martial Heaven.

The sky of martial arts.

As if to signify Shin Yeoul, who had devoted his life to martial arts alone and had become the king of the world by pursuing martial arts alone.

A world where the entire world became a world of martial arts, where only the word martial arts existed.

This was a kind of… beyond power.

‘Sanctuary.’

It was Shin Yeoul’s domain, where even Lee Rowoon’s power nullification did not work.

“So, how great is it?”

Shin Yeoul said.

“You’re facing me with only what you learned from me, not those bastards.”

Shin Yeoul’s fighting spirit spread even more.

“Make me even more entertained, disciple.”

* * *

He couldn’t understand.

Why.

‘Why?’

Why did the masters say that they had to kill each other when they met again?

The chaos was sealed.

Of course, it was true that fragments of chaos had settled in the masters.

The chaos was a unified existence.

A perfect yet imperfect existence.

Therefore.

Kugugugugu!

It was an existence that attracted each other and tried to become one.

He could understand.

The moment he faced the masters.

‘The chaos will awaken.’

The sealed chaos would awaken and begin to rampage.

And the chaos would struggle even more within the seal, exerting greater power to merge again.

So.

Kwaaaaaaa!

They shouldn’t meet.

That was….

“Disciple.”

An act of awakening the chaos.

“Disciple.”

If the chaos awakened, the world would eventually be destroyed.

“Disciple.”

If the chaos awakened, this time they would no longer be able to stop it.

So, when they met their masters, the masters had to kill themselves.

While sealing the chaos, before being consumed by the chaos, they had to completely destroy the chaos by killing themselves.

“Disciple.”

But why.

“Master.”

Why do I have to kill the masters?

He had not found the answer to that.

“Now I understand.”

Now he knew the answer.

It was not something the masters had decided.

The moment he embraced the chaos, because the chaos had become a part of him.

“Why the masters said that.”

The chaos would rampage to have its fragments, and the memories and emotions it had.

“I know why.”

Drip, drip.

One of Lee Rowoon’s arms had disappeared.

Also, there was a large hole in his chest.

Martial Heaven.

Facing the Martial King under the sky of martial arts was like this.

Moreover, it was like this for an imperfect being to challenge a perfect one.

At this rate, he would die.

And the chaos would also die.

Wriggle.

Something was wriggling and awakening in his chest.

“Yes. It ends up like this after all.”

The voice that was heard began to fade.

“It would have been better if we hadn’t met. It would have been better if we had just lived like that. Rather.”

The master said.

“If you had destroyed the world, I would have accepted it calmly and died.”

But the moment the two met, fate was inevitable.

They had to kill each other.

Lee Rowoon.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Slowly closed his eyes.

This was not his will, but coercion.

The moment his life force, which had fallen to the bottom, took away Lee Rowoon’s control.

“Keehee.”

It was the moment the chaos awakened.
