Weapon-Eating Bastard [EN]: Chapter 207

Weapon-Eating Bastard – Chapter 207

I took a deep breath and watched the monster regain its form.

It was as if the fathomless abyss beneath the sea had taken shape.

The darkness that formed the monster was bubbling as if boiling.

‘I have to use that.’

It was the technique I used on the first day I arrived in the uncharted territory, facing a group of level 4 monsters.

The technique I used then was incomplete, using only about 30 percent of the power I had envisioned.

But now, I had to unleash 120 percent of its power, surpassing even the full 100 percent.

Otherwise, I can’t defeat it.

Wooong! Wooong! Wooong!

I rapidly circulated my aura.

The next five minutes were dedicated to amplifying this magic power.

I amplified the amplification, used the Reversal Art to secure the maximum amount of magic power.

And as that secured magic power was converted into aura, I began to unleash the first aura skill.

“Valerie, step back with my aunt.”

I pushed Valerie back, my eyes gleaming.

Vast magic power, enough to inflict internal injuries on myself, was writhing.

The technique I was about to unleash was the culmination of everything I had learned, and at the same time, a technique that only I could unleash under this sky.

The first step was, the Mana Body.

Woooooooong!

Suddenly, the flow of time began to slow down rapidly.

I didn’t move right away.

Unleashing the Mana Body was only a supporting role to manipulate the aura more precisely.

The technique I was about to unleash was so difficult to control that even I would have struggled to use it without the Mana Body.

“Eunhan Release.”

With the injection of magic power, Eunhan’s Jeogori [a traditional Korean jacket] began to tremble violently.

I grabbed the Jeogori and swung it wildly in the air.

Chwaaaaaar!

Soon, all the weapons I possessed poured out from within Eunhan’s Jeogori.

Swords, spears, blades, bows…….

All sorts of bizarre weapons, countless weapons from the East and West, ancient and modern.

Woooong!

Instead of falling to the ground, the weapons absorbed my aura and floated in the air.

‘Meteor, next apply the Gravity Field.’

Through the use of the Soongmoo Yi family’s ninth profound truth, Meteor, magic power was connected to all the weapons floating in the air, and the Gravity Field served to fix the magic power imbued in each weapon, preventing it from scattering.

Magic power was manipulated separately for each of the dozens of Celestial-grade and Sacred Relic-grade weapons.

‘No way!’

Valerie couldn’t help but be shocked by the sight.

Anyone can bundle weapons together and swing them simultaneously.

But now, Yi Cheol was imbuing each weapon with different magic power.

That alone is a divine skill that transcends humanity.

However, what Yi Cheol has done so far is only the beginning of this technique.

“Yi Gi (以氣) Refinement. Black Lotus Deployment.”

With the incantation muttered like a spell, each weapon began to emit its own light.

Reciting the incantation and deployment process in my mind was to increase my concentration even a little.

“Magic Power Refinement, Kanggi Injection.”

Wiiiiiiiiiiing!

The numerous weapons spread out like wings.

The weapons began to emit their own light.

The Celestial-grade bow, Lightning Flash Bow, was imbued with the power of lightning.

The Sacred Spear, White Whale, was imbued with fierce vibrations.

And Yi Cheol’s signature weapon, Gyeongcheon, floated in the air, spewing black and white light.

‘H-How much magic power does he have? And what is that control……!’

Valerie opened her mouth wide, forgetting even the current situation in the face of the spectacle unfolding before her eyes.

The amount of magic power to activate dozens of Celestial-grade and Sacred Relic-grade equipment simultaneously, and the magic power manipulation to control it in different ways.

Yi Cheol was accomplishing a feat that dozens of masters couldn’t achieve even if they rushed at him.

“Hoo.”

Yi Cheol exhaled and took a step forward.

The legendary weapons that had built up countless myths and achievements were given life by Yi Cheol’s hands.

-Kuaaaaaaaa!

Following that, the monster began to move in earnest.

Woooooooong!

The weapons that had spread out like wings in the air moved in unison, occupying the space.

Profound Truth, Heavenly Net (天羅) [a technique that creates a net of weapons].

Now, it was time to hunt down that legendary ancient monster that had been sealed on this land for a long time.

* * *

It was as if a volcano had erupted.

It was as if bombs were flying.

Thunder and lightning, a tsunami, an earthquake…….

It was no longer a spectacle unfolded by human hands, but close to dozens of disasters.

Kwaaaang! Kwang! Kwakakakang!

The equipment was swung in the air.

It was shot, exploded, and stabbed.

-Kieeeeeeeeeek!

The jet-black substance that made up the monster burst out at a terrifying speed.

The weapons never missed a single moment or showed the same movement.

Each piece of equipment with different powers was imbued with different profound truths and secret techniques.

───Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

A bizarre cry echoed, and the incomprehensible monster, as if it had gathered darkness, twisted its body.

The monster thought.

It had to escape from this place.

It couldn’t do anything about that right now.

But then, amidst the rushing weapons, I immediately swung my hand.

“I have no intention of letting you go.”

At my gesture, the Sacred Relic-grade dagger, Explosion Sword, the Celestial-grade chain, Erenge, and the Celestial-grade Sacred Spear, White Whale, fell towards the monster from above.

Kwakakakang!

With the sound of explosions, the monster, which was trying to rise, was pressed down on the ground.

Clearing away the ceaselessly bursting aura radiance and the monster’s remains, I stood in front of the monster.

Wiiiiiiing!

The only weapon in my hand, Black Night, was activated, emitting its unique eerie cry.

-Kieeeek!

As soon as it saw Black Night, the monster wriggled its body like a cephalopod.

And with that thing in front of me, I gripped Black Night with both hands.

High Stance.

Raising the sword above my head.

Gripping the sword firmly with both hands, I take a step forward, fixing my lower body like a deeply rooted tree.

And.

Moo Jin First Form, Exorcism.

The strike drawn from the air to the ground annihilated some of the monster’s energy.

-Keureureureuk!

The monster pulsed unpleasantly, staggering its body.

I smiled wryly, resting Black Night on my shoulder.

“I guess I can’t absorb this, can I?”

-Kieeeek!

The jet-black darkness trembled, then lunged straight at me as if in a fit.

Sooong! Kwakakakang!

The weapons that flew through the space at a terrifying speed struck the monster’s side, offsetting its movement.

-Kiek! Keek! Nananneunreuljukeuget! Mojyeoyo!

At that moment, something like a bizarre voice pierced my mind.

A telepathic wave.

A skill commonly found in high-level monsters.

But its was a little different.

‘Keuk.’

The concentration of my aura was slightly interrupted by just one telepathic wave.

It was almost like being influenced by the Fear.

Even I, who was immune to the Fear due to the Black ki [a type of dark energy], felt a moment of mental confusion.

-Kirik!

And not missing the moment when I faltered, a jet-black mass of goo fell from its body.

-Kieeeek!

-Kyaaaaak!

-Kiyoooook!

“……!”

The fallen jet-black clay-like substance wriggled and began to take on a bizarre shape.

The appearance of a monster.

Even the monsters found around here.

It had divided.

It was a power it had never shown before.

‘Is it regaining its strength!’

That wasn’t the end of it.

The fragments of the monster’s body that had burst and fallen to the ground each wriggled and began to take on the shape of a monster.

Hwaak!

And the divided ones immediately began to rush towards me.

‘Tsk!’

Pagak! Gagagagak!

Inevitably, I had to turn some of the weapons that made up the Heavenly Net against the monsters.

I gritted my teeth and checked my body.

‘The duration of the Heavenly Net is 4 minutes from now!’

Jureuk!

Blood flowed from my nose and ears due to excessive concentration and magic power manipulation.

No matter how much it was me, I couldn’t maintain this kind of extensive technique indefinitely.

If I was facing a monster or a person, the duration would increase to some extent with the magic power absorption ability, but the fragments of that unkillable thing were not manipulating magic power, but rather eating it up.

‘I expected that it wouldn’t keep getting hit!’

I gritted my teeth and turned my body back to the monster.

It doesn’t matter if it has created clones or if the duration is nearing its limit.

Before it gains any more power, and before my power runs out, I will cut off its breath.

It was at that moment.

Hooook! Paak!

The monster’s outer skin swelled greatly in an instant.

The weapons of the Heavenly Net were still raging towards the monster, but even while taking damage, it didn’t stop and prepared something.

And.

‘Dangerous!’

Pueoooong!

The monster’s body, which had been swollen to the fullest, shrank as if the air had been let out of a balloon, spewing out jet-black particles.

‘Keup.’

I immediately wrapped Eunhan around my mouth with aura.

But it was a meaningless action.

The black particles penetrated the barrier of aura that I was constantly wearing outside my body.

‘What is this…….’

It wasn’t ordinary poison or foul energy.

Momentarily, the magic power circuit in my body was twisted, accompanied by terrible pain.

It was closer to being contaminated or infected rather than a poisoning symptom.

The black particles that stuck to my skin clung to each other and began to wrap around my body.

‘……!’

It was an attack that deviated from common sense.

But at that moment, a writhing blue power surged from within my body.

The power of the family that accounted for half of my bloodline.

The purification power of the Choi family.

-Kieeeek!

The black particles that had been clinging to the outside of my body crumbled and scattered into the air again.

I immediately kicked off the ground.

At that moment.

Kwakakakakang!

Familiar attacks were fired from the dense black particles that had spread in the air.

‘Is that Effenberg’s cold air? That’s the Blood Explosion Sword!’

The power of the equipment I had absorbed.

The power of the equipment that I had been utilizing under the influence of Moo Jin and Black ki was being used by it.

-Kikkikkik!

Something like laughter echoed.

‘Is it because it took half of Moo Jin’s power?’

It had awakened a new power again.

Constantly.

It was getting stronger.

-Kihhihihi! I’ll let you…… escape, ro…….

Beyond the dense black particles, its thoughts pierced my head.

In fact, its huge body wriggled and moved, and it could be seen crouching as if trying to move away.

I shone my eyes.

“Try to escape if you can!”

It doesn’t matter how strong it gets.

I decided to hunt it, so I will hunt it.

Instead of recovering the magic power entering the Heavenly Net, I strengthened it even more.

Kwakakakang!

I dropped several weapons simultaneously on the head of the thing trying to escape.

-Kieeeek!

The monster that had been rising was slammed into the ground once again by that attack imbued with Fragmentation, Exorcism, and Black Lotus.

‘2 minutes left!’

Seukak! Kwang!

The numerous weapons floating in the air collided with the monster’s black particle-ized power.

Fragments of power that burst out from all directions burst out, and all sorts of abilities spread out.

‘1 minute left!’

It keeps wriggling to escape.

There was no time to waste magic power now.

I focused on moving forward, trusting the newly acquired purification power and the Soongmoo Yi family’s Adamantine Body against the power targeting my body.

‘I’ll break through with Gyeongcheon!’

Hooook!

The moment my will reached Gyeongcheon, Gyeongcheon, which had been dealing with the monster in the distance, disappeared momentarily and appeared in front of me.

Pajik! Pajijijik!

The mighty lightning imbued at its end.

Along with the black and white light, Gyeongcheon was fired, drawing a long straight line.

-Kiek! How. Could. This. Be!

Kwakakakaga!

A path was blown open in the place where Gyeongcheon had passed.

I kicked off the ground.

At the same time, all the weapons that had been dealing with the black particles and the monster were fired at the monster all at once.

-Kieeeek!

Kwang! Kwakakakang!

The reason for deploying the Profound Truth Heavenly Net in the first place was to tie its feet.

Its body was attacked and burst out.

And that was the end.

The magic power supplied to the equipment was cut off, and the weapons that had finished their last attack fell to the ground like rain.

‘It doesn’t matter!’

Because the last strike was different from the start.

The moment I reached right in front of it, I jumped up from the ground as it was and strongly grabbed Black Night with both hands.

Wiiiiiiiiiiing!

The Choi family’s purification power was imbued in my whole body, and Black Night, which emitted the power of annihilation, distorted the air and rippled.

The strongest strike I can do.

I drew the best form I could do at this moment in my head and swung the sword.

And at that moment.

Woong!

‘……!’

Something in the world changed.

No, it wasn’t the world, it was me that changed.

It was as if something in my head was breaking.

My falling body and the unkillable fragment that was staggering and heading where I was.

Something inside my body was taken out.

I saw a line in front of me, and Black Night moved towards the monster’s torso as if being sucked along that line.

And I had a certainty like a prediction.
