My Lord Who Is Being Prudent! [EN]: Chapter 315

315. The One Who Defies God

It couldn’t be seen.

Not even a sound was heard, nor could it be felt.

Something had been swung.

Only the remnants of that impression remained in his mind.

Kai’s eyes widened.

There was no room for composure in them anymore.

Arrogance was even more out of the question.

Fear.

An emotion that shouldn’t exist was faintly visible.

Swish, swish, swish.

The sound burst out belatedly.

With the delayed sound, Kai’s entire body was torn to shreds.

【”Kkyaaaaaaak!”】

The belated pain erupted.

The agony of his entire body being torn apart shattered Kai’s mind as well.

Kai gritted his teeth, gathering his strength.

He mustered the power he possessed as a god to restore his torn body.

【”Regeneration…?”】

But regeneration did not occur.

The torn flesh failed to regenerate and fell downwards in clumps.

【”This can’t… be happening.”】

Kai muttered involuntarily.

The trembling voice echoed emptily.

He couldn’t understand the unseen strike from just now.

But he couldn’t understand the failure to regenerate even more.

No, it was more accurate to say that he *shouldn’t* understand it.

Because this wasn’t a matter of regeneration.

Creation.

It wasn’t regenerating the torn flesh, but creating it anew.

It was the power of creation that could be exercised by acquiring the status of a god.

It was the pure power of a god.

But it wasn’t happening.

Therefore, what that meant was one thing.

【”My divinity… is collapsing?”】

This couldn’t be happening.

This was something that couldn’t happen, shouldn’t happen.

How could a mere creation possibly undermine divinity!

But the power of creation was not working.

As a result, the status of a god was gradually collapsing.

【”How dare you…!”】

Absolute magic erupted from Kai’s entire body.

Kwwaaaaaaa─!!

In the midst of the swirling storm of magic.

Cyan calmly gripped the Sword of Annihilation.

The special effect of Arnaise Convergence, with its stacked special privileges.

Furthermore, with the effect of nullifying Kai’s divinity now.

He could temporarily bring the status of a god down to the realm of humans.

He could sufficiently contend with Kai.

No matter how strong Kai’s power was.

Even if his actual status was already the same as a god.

Kai was not a true god in the real sense.

Nor was he a more absolute being.

In the end, he was just a mere human.

He was still just a human challenging the authority of a god.

Cyan gripped the Sword of Annihilation, unleashing his inherent magic.

As the magic of transcendence exploded, the world’s time seemed to stop.

Time hadn’t really stopped.

Senses amplified by the magic of transcendence.

The buffs stacked by Arnaise Convergence.

As a result, Cyan’s thought process, which had been accelerated, perceived the passage of time as if it had stopped.

In the accelerated world.

The visual information that flashed by pierced into his brain.

In a fleeting moment, hundreds of millions of pieces of information swirled around.

His brain cells ached as if they were burning.

Don’t think.

He closed off his thoughts. He squeezed out his consciousness.

He entrusted everything to his senses.

As his consciousness flew away, Cyan’s body shot out.

Even the speed at which he was shot out couldn’t be followed by his perception.

The extreme speed, the exhilaration (speed/rush), that Kyle had pursued.

But Cyan had not completed it.

Cyan had not yet completed Kyle’s sword.

But now.

───!

A sword like a bolt of lightning split Kai’s entire body.

The storm of magic being ejected was torn apart and scattered.

Ting!

[Demon Soul Asura Sword Supreme Grade Progress Rate 94% (+1%)]

It was being completed.

As a result, he was getting closer.

The realm that Kyle had reached.

At the end of that sword, Cyan was approaching step by step.

【”Kkeueueueueaaaaaaaah!!”】

Kai once again let out a terrible scream.

The scream stretched out and was heard in the high-speed world that Cyan was stepping into.

Divinity (godhood) scattered with the erupting scream.

Kai’s soul, swept by magic, creaked and trembled.

Kai couldn’t keep up.

With Cyan’s exhilaration (speed/rush). With the speed that Kyle had pursued.

Kai couldn’t keep up with that speed.

Clearly, this side was faster.

【”Have you… forgotten who I am!”】

Kai’s voice was heard without being stretched out.

Could it be that he had followed this speed…?

Cyan’s trembling eyes turned to the side.

Along with that, in the accelerated world, the stopped time flowed.

The world regained its time.

Cyan’s thoughts flashed.

‘He didn’t follow the speed.’

Kai couldn’t keep up with Cyan’s speed.

Clearly, this side was overwhelmingly faster.

That’s why he didn’t follow the speed.

He had shattered the concept of speed itself.

Thus, the world made of exhilaration (speed/rush).

Kai had shattered the high-speed world that Cyan had created.

It was hard to believe.

But this was also the power of a god (divine being).

Kai’s sword rushed towards Cyan.

It rushed quickly, aiming for Cyan’s defenseless neck.

At that moment, a flash of blue light flickered.

An endless stream of thoughts that made his mind dizzy.

Kwwaaaaang!

Kai’s sword was blocked, and the space trembled greatly.

Between the vibrating spaces, Leia and Kendrick clung to Kai.

【”There will be no more mercy!”】

Kai was agitated and suppressed Leia and Kendrick.

He grabbed Leia’s shoulder and crushed it.

He grabbed Kendrick’s wrist and tore it off.

There was literally no divine mercy.

There was only God’s cruel judgment.

-Kyaaak!

-Keuheok!

Leia and Kendrick fell powerlessly to the floor.

Then, as Kai turned his gaze to look at Cyan.

Chrararararak!

Cyan’s swords were draped all around.

The swords, which started with several, soon became thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands…

【”… Ugh!”】

Kai staggered, clutching his forehead.

The infinite swords that surpassed even the cognition of God.

The infinite swords that dominated the space clawed at all directions as if they were dancing.

【”…!”】

Kai’s eyes widened again in astonishment.

The infinite swords that were now engulfing all directions.

However, those were clearly just illusions.

Cyan’s sword was definitely one, that was certain.

But the swords were entangled in a dizzying way.

Those infinite swords that were drastically changing the space itself and tearing it apart.

All of those were real.

No, that’s not it.

He couldn’t tell which one was real.

He also couldn’t tell which one was fake.

That’s why everything just felt like an illusion.

It was as if everything in this world was approaching as an illusion.

There was no beginning or end in front of him, and he couldn’t fathom where he had come from.

That which is faint and empty, and whose essence is the body of qi [life force/energy].

That was empty (illusory), yet it was not empty (real).

【”Keuhak…!”】

Kai coughed up blood and stepped back.

The blood of a god (divine being) pouring from his mouth was red.

And it couldn’t be seen…

Also, it was a different kind of unseen than the previous sword of exhilaration (speed/rush).

The realm that Cyan was reaching.

The status (level) that Cyan was rising to.

It couldn’t be seen at all…

Amidst the red blood splattered in the air.

Cyan continued to move between the splattered blood.

Ting!

[Demon Soul Asura Sword Supreme Grade Progress Rate 94% (+1%)]

As a result, he was gradually completing the Demon Soul Asura Sword.

【”How dare you…!”】

Kai gritted his teeth, raising his sword.

He unleashed the power of the god he possessed, pouring everything towards Cyan.

And then.

“La Mes Eris Paula!”

Aria’s voice erupted from one side, and whaaaaa!

Kai’s power self-destructed in the burst of pure white light.

Until just now, it was just a mere imitation.

Now, Aria’s divinity was almost in contact with the power of a god (divine being).

“Kamyun de Lezid…!”

Aria moved her lips again.

Kai gritted his teeth!

Expressing his anger, he waved his opposite hand, ejecting power once more.

He had to deal with that insignificant saintess first.

【”Shut up!”】

With a shout of indignation, Kwadeuk!

He directed his magic-infused hand towards Aria, grabbing her.

The distance between the two was considerable.

However, Aria could feel an unspoken force grabbing her chin.

And just like that, Kwajik─!

Aria’s jaw joint was crushed.

“Eueueueueup!!!”

Aria’s eyes widened in the terrible pain.

Kai grabbed such Aria and threw her away carelessly.

He could have killed her as she was, but there was no time to do so.

Kai hurriedly turned his gaze to look at Cyan, and.

【”…!”】

He could see a huge slash flying towards him.

There was no momentum felt in it.

It didn’t contain the magic of transcendence either.

A simple strike.

A strike that slashed down from left to right, slightly diagonally.

Also, it was slow.

It was endlessly slow.

But there was no way to avoid it.

Kai involuntarily hesitated, stepping back.

The thought that he had to retreat was constantly rising.

That sword that was being swung slowly now.

He didn’t know why.

But that sword contained an absolute power that would surely divide everything.

Cyan’s sword would surely split him in two.

And that was actually becoming a reality.

Form 5.

Dull Soul One Sword.
.
.
There was no roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

There was no shock that vibrated the entire forest.

There was nothing at all.

Kai’s mouth opened, gaping.

Kai’s entire body collapsed, split diagonally.

The power of creation was gradually fading.

The time to recreate the severed flesh was significantly delayed.

That’s why no more strikes were allowed.

He couldn’t allow Cyan to attack any further.

But.

“Euaaaaaaa!!”

With a great roar, Conrad’s sword rushed in.

Kai raised his sword to parry, and Keulleok…!

A lump of blood poured out from the corner of his mouth once more.

These annoyingly clinging gnats were the problem.

Because of these gnats, he couldn’t suppress Cyan.

No, he couldn’t call them gnats anymore.

Until just now, they were just mere gnats.

They were nothing more than bugs that were worse than gnats.

But it wasn’t like that now.

Bang! Kwakwang!

The Arnaise from a thousand years ago.

For some reason, these gnats were exerting the same level of power as them.

【”You’re just bugs no matter what…!”】

A cry distorted with clear anger erupted.

The power of God exploded.

Conrad staggered.

Soon, Kwajik!

Kai’s hand, moving quickly, pierced through Conrad’s abdomen.

And again, Kwajik!

Inside the pierced abdomen, Kai’s hand grabbed the entrails and tore them out.

“Kkeuaaaaaaak!!”

Conrad’s terrible scream erupted.

Kai shook off his hand, as if shaking off a bug, and threw Conrad away.

Then, as he searched for Cyan’s existence again.

【”No…!”】

He could recognize a huge slash rushing towards him.

Form 6.

Demon Strength Flash.
.
.
Even thinking cannot be thought.

The power of creation and the status of God were now torn to shreds.

【”How dare you…! How dare you…!”】

Kai was only feeling the emotion of anger.

“Remaining in the eons of time…”

The chanting spell that was heard at that moment.

It made Kai’s mind cut off for a moment.

Kai moved his body to find the clinging wave of magic.

There was no thought of stopping Cyan.

Only anger at these Arnaise, like these small fries who kept interfering, was being expressed.

Kai’s body disappeared from sight in an instant, revealing itself in front of Sera.

Sera couldn’t react to the movement as if she had teleported.

A rough hand grabbed Sera’s head.

Soon, Kai’s opposite hand rummaged through Sera’s mouth.

And Chwahak!

Sera’s tongue was pulled out, dangling long.

However, the magician race is not bound by voice when chanting.

Even if there is only a sound that rings in the eardrums.

Chanting is possible as long as they can recognize the sound.

Long ago, Elodie was like that too, wasn’t she?

So that she couldn’t chant even with the ringing of her eardrums.

Kai grabbed and tore off Sera’s pointed ears as well.

“Kyaaaaaaaak!!”

Sera let out a fading scream.

Kai grabbed Sera’s nape as if she was being noisy.

The scream was cut off as Kai’s touch blocked even her vocal cords.

He could feel the slender elf’s nape in his grip.

Thus, just as he was about to twist and sever that nape.

He flinched.

An unknown sense of incongruity erupted from Kai’s entire body.

The slowly turned gaze.

There, an infinite world was 펼쳐져있었다 [unfolded/displayed].

And in that infinite world.

The reality of all things that exist in the world poured down.

Sun, moon, rain, wind, fog, snow, spring, summer, autumn, winter.

River, mountain, stone, tree, grass, beast, person.

All beings and phenomena that exist in this world.

The myriad images of the Dharmadhatu [realm of reality].

The incarnate Buddhas of truth.

He who sought to become a god (divine being) within it.

He who stands at the end of arrogance.

Was nothing more than a tiny dot in the vast universe.

Form 7.

All Things in Nature (Universal Oneness).
.
.
Ah.

Kai let go of the hand that was holding Sera’s nape.

And conversely, he grabbed his own neck.

And Kwadeudeuk!

Kai twisted his own neck, cutting off his breath.

His mind was cut off and immediately recovered.

【”Heueok…!”】

Kai took a deep breath.

Just now… just now he couldn’t bear it.

As he looked into that 펼쳐진 [unfolded/displayed] infinite world, he couldn’t fully bear his mind.

He was the one who had seen the end of arrogance.

He was the one who had acquired the status of God.

But even so, he couldn’t bear it.

If he hadn’t taken his own life.

If he hadn’t cut off the existence of God as a human.

His mind would have collapsed and withered in that world just now.

Kiiiiiiing!

A sharp cry is heard.

A huge wave of magic covers the whole world.

Escape… he had to escape.

Kai was finally able to come to a conclusion.

Also, as he came to a conclusion, he quickly took action.

But.

“Where do you think you’re going!”

“Do you think we’ll let you go so easily!”

Some dwarf and beastman bugs blocked the way.

【”Get out of the way!”】

Kai desperately gathered his strength.

He grabbed Semir’s rushing muscles and tore them to shreds.

He grabbed Karis’s face and smashed his skull along with his sprouting horns.

And just as he was about to hurriedly leave the place.

Saaaaaa─.

He could feel the swaying wind.

The wind caressing his face was one flow.

Therefore, it was like water, and it was also natural.

All the strikes that had 펼쳐진 [unfolded/displayed] before.

All the strikes that had shattered the power of God and brought down the status of God.

All of those strikes flowed naturally like one flow.

As if he had originally been like that, flowing as if they were connected, 끊어지며 [being cut off], and then connected again.

[Demon Soul Asura Sword Supreme Grade Progress Rate 99% (+1%)]

The notification window 떠오르는 [floating] above Cyan’s retina.

Cyan was standing there, 정리하며 [organizing/preparing] the sword of All Streams Return to the Source (Ultimate Unity).

Kyle’s sword and the basis of all swords (techniques).

Exhilaration (Speed/Rush), Illusion, Dullness, Strength, Weight, Flow, Domination.

Thus, the last remaining Domination Sword.

Cyan quietly closed his eyes.

【”This, this can’t be…! This can’t be happening!”】

Kai’s astonished voice was heard between his closed eyes.

Also, did he think he couldn’t escape?

Or did he think that now was the only chance?

Kai began to 폭사시키기 [detonate/unleash] all the remaining power towards Cyan.

Kwakwakwakwakwang!!

The 할퀴어진 땅거죽이 [scratched earth] all scatter.

The 잔해들이 [remnants/debris] scattered on the floor are 산산히 쪼개어진다 [shattered to pieces].

Even though the status of God, which had already been 갈가리 찢어진 [torn to shreds], was still there.

Kai’s power was still 경이로웠다 [astonishing/amazing].

Kai’s bloodshot eyes are 오롯이 [solely/intently] directed towards Cyan.

【”There are no more gnats to protect you…!”】

Kai was now 내보이고 [showing/revealing] a movement to kill Cyan.

And Cyan was still 감고 [closing] his eyes.

Kai’s power was 위협적이었다 [threatening/intimidating].

If he stayed still like this, Cyan could be 역으로 당할 [attacked in reverse/countered].

But Cyan didn’t 움직이지 않았다 [move/budge].

The last remaining Demon Soul Asura Sword.

The last Domination Sword that Kyle 완성한 [completed].

He had to 내딛어야한다 [take a step/move forward].

He had to 닿아야한다 [reach/touch].

That place beyond the 궁극의 영역 [ultimate realm] that humans can 닿을 [reach/touch].

He had to 닿아야한다 [reach/touch] to the 영역 [realm] of Exceed.

Kwwaaaaaaaa─!!

The 사출된 [ejected/launched] Kai’s power 덮쳐온다 [overwhelms/attacks].

And as if to 대항 [oppose/resist] to that.

Kai’s eyes 크게 떠졌다 [widened greatly].

The 발걸음 [footstep] he was 내딛던 [taking] towards Cyan 뚝, 멈춰섰다 [suddenly stopped].

This power that is 느껴지는 [felt/sensed] now.

This 압박 [pressure/oppression] that is 몰려오는 [rushing/surging] from beyond the 감각 [senses].

This is… this was a power that he 차마 어찌할 수 없었다 [couldn’t possibly handle/deal with].

No, this was 무엇 [something] that could not be 정의할 [defined] as 힘(力) [power/strength].

It was 힘(力) [power/strength] and at the same time 기개(氣槪) [spirit/resolve].

기개(氣槪) [spirit/resolve] and at the same time 패기(覇氣) [ambition/domineering spirit].

A 힘 [power] that was 지극히 크고 [extremely big/vast], 지극히 강한 [extremely strong].

That was the 기운 [energy/aura] that 가득 들어찬 [filled/permeated] in 천지(天地) [heaven and earth/universe].

A 아득한 힘 [distant/faint power] that 담아내는 [containing/encompassing] the 온 세상 [whole world].
