Weapon-Eating Bastard [EN]: Chapter 354

Weapon-Devouring Bastard – Chapter 354

The Primal Monstrosity was immense.

Like facing a colossal mountain range.

A single, undulating tentacle resembled a small mountain, and even half of its body was too large to take in at a glance.

But I didn’t care.

Not in this place, at this moment.

Such things wouldn’t matter much.

KWAHHHHHHHH!

The Primal Monstrosity’s mere movement caused the ground to collapse and the earth to cave in.

The land, once a vast sea, was already in ruins.

Its overwhelming presence.

An absolute monster unlike any I had ever encountered.

But.

‘It’s wary of me.’

I feel that I can do this.

The important thing, as always, was to not be discouraged and to fight.

“Haaaap!”

I took a step forward.

Coming full circle, back to the basics.

The first sword technique I learned, the one I practiced the longest, was unleashed.

Limitless Sword Style, First Form: Exorcism.

KWAHHHHHHHH!

Sword energy shot out.

CRACK!

A portion of the Primal Monstrosity’s torso was sliced off.

Chunks of dark, gruesome flesh fell.

‘Now it begins!’

Following Exorcism, Black Lotus, the perfected Twelve Seasonal Styles, and the Aura Skills I had developed with my aunt poured out in a single breath.

Bang! KWAHHHHHHHH!

I unleashed the best of my abilities.

KWAHH!

The Monstrosity’s flesh was pulverized.

But in an instant, it regenerated and looked down at me.

────────!

Suddenly, my mind reeled.

Something burrowed into my ear.

Strange sounds, like the fluttering of insects’ wings.

[Die___ ing________.]

The Monstrosity’s voice. Its voice was invading my ears.

Dugun!

My heart leaped.

My vision blurred, and a ringing filled my head.

‘What? What just happened?’

My heart stopped, and the time of my body’s organs halted.

Faaat!

Spreading Black Aura throughout my body before my muscles could stiffen was an instinctive action.

And that instinct saved my life.

“Huuuuh!”

The unidentified energy that had invaded my body escaped.

Gasping for breath, I opened my eyes wide.

However.

Thud! Thud!

Others besides me were not so fortunate.

The warriors of the main family.

Several dozen of them. And hundreds of monsters connected to their will.

The dozens of warriors and monsters collapsed to the ground without any warning.

-Aaaaaaaah!

-Uuuuuuuuh!

And black energy surged from them, being sucked into the Primal Monstrosity.

I realized what had just happened.

‘Fear? No, that’s not it. That thing is exerting its will…….’

That Monstrosity was exerting its will.

With just that, warriors and monsters died, and I almost met my end.

But that energy didn’t affect me.

I already knew that the Monstrosity held life and death in its grasp.

What mattered was that the Monstrosity’s attack didn’t work on me.

There’s a prelude to the will being exerted.

If I can defeat it before that prelude spreads!

Tuh-ung!

I steeled my will, kicked off the ground, and leaped forward.

Sreureung!

The sword flashed.

In that instant.

I felt everything in front of me distort like a mirage.

[Dist__ ort__ ing.]

The Monstrosity’s voice echoed again.

Kuuuung!

The sword energy that had been aimed at the Monstrosity’s body twisted like taffy, tearing up the ground and sweeping away monsters.

Bang! Kwaang!

Even though I swung my sword repeatedly, none of my attacks reached the Primal Monstrosity.

All that energy flew off in completely random directions, causing explosions.

‘What is this!’

Wuuuung!

Following that, I felt even the scene before my eyes changing.

Even though I was clearly looking straight ahead, the scene behind me was reflected in front of me.

No, the moment I thought that, my vision became jumbled again.

From the distant, unexplored northern territories, to the side where my father’s sword strike continued, everything was mixed up at once.

A scene like looking into a kaleidoscope.

‘An illusion?’

No. My intuition clearly told me that this phenomenon was real.

-Stare straight at what you want to see.

-That is how you use the Mystic Eyes.

I recalled the teachings I had heard from Ru in the records of the Sky Citadel.

What I want to see.

The source of this power.

Mana dwelled in my Mystic Eyes, and I was shocked by the information I saw.

‘Space is distorted? It’s shrouding its entire body with that power?’

Space distortion.

It was the Monstrosity’s ability.

Because of that ability, all my attacks were becoming tangled and scattering in all directions.

Immortality, regeneration, and even an absolute defense mechanism of space distortion.

This monster’s power seemed endless.

“Kuk, eugh!”

Suddenly, I felt a misty haze enveloping me.

Crack! Crackle!

Space distortion began to constrict me.

My limbs began to twist as if they would break, my breath was cut off, and the mana circuits within my body began to tangle.

‘This is dangerous.’

It wasn’t a matter of a difference in power, or being overwhelmed by immense force.

Unspeakable abilities.

Attacks from the Primal Monstrosity that distorted space and mixed up the laws of physics.

‘Then……!’

But I had a weapon to withstand it.

Kiiing!

At that moment, the Black Night in my hand unleashed its sword cry.

The Sword of Annihilation, Black Night.

I fully unleashed the sword’s power and swung it straight ahead.

Swish!

Black Night’s sword energy dyed the world like spreading ink, and with a sound like a leather drum bursting, my vision returned.

It didn’t stop there.

The energy of space distortion surged in again.

I used my Mystic Eyes to locate the enemy and swung the roaring Black Night like a madman.

Swish! Swish!

The black sword light consumed the world.

I felt that I had finally unleashed all the power that was rushing towards me.

But.

‘No?’

The moment I tore through the spatial anomaly, a dizzying sensation swept beneath my feet.

I gasped at the sight before my eyes.

‘The sky……?’

Before I knew it, my body was high in the sky.

The sight of the battlefield spread out below me pierced my eyes.

* * *

There was no time to continue thinking.

At an incredible speed, I plummeted towards the ground.

‘Did it send me here before the space could be distorted!’

Hwaaaaak!

A height that made me feel dizzy for a moment.

I used mana to brake and regain my balance.

And I raised Black Night.

I couldn’t afford to be confused by merely falling from the sky.

KWAHHHHHHHH!

Something was deflected by the swung sword.

It was like striking a raging river.

Just one tentacle. The power contained in that one tentacle was this immense.

And, following that.

As if not letting me fall in peace, countless tentacles shot towards me.

‘Hup!’

Regaining my balance, I squeezed out mana.

Mental Sword, Severance.

Mental Sword, Shatter.

Mental Sword, All Creation.

Tung! Kwaang! Kaaaang!

Horizontally, vertically, head-on.

If the enemy resembled a mountain range, I just needed to unleash the power to destroy even that mountain range.

The swung Black Night poured out the power of annihilation and the enlightenment of the Mental Sword in torrents.

Swish! Swish!

The tentacles were cut off, and the sword energy, divided into dozens of branches, pulverized the Primal Monstrosity’s flesh.

Tearrrrr!

The sky split from the shock of being cut.

A distant, giant mountain was annihilated by the fragments of Aura that were deflected.

One tentacle extended.

The power swelling within it.

All of it contained a terrifying energy that could destroy the earth.

I felt an overwhelming power that seemed to make my soul fly away just by facing it.

But.

‘I will cut it.’

I can do it.

What I rely on has allowed me the power to perform miracles.

Kuuuuuuuu!

The severed tentacle paused for a moment, then split into dozens of strands and shot out again.

Kwaang! Kwaang!

The remaining energy of the Mental Sword scattered in all directions like crumbling leaves.

Without a foothold, my movements were awkward.

I was still falling at this moment.

‘If there’s no foothold…….’

I just need to create one.

I spread out Black Aura.

Black smoke writhed and formed in all directions.

A foothold created from Black Aura.

The moment I stepped on it, I detonated the mana I had spewed out from my toes and shot forward like a bullet.

Tuh-ung! Tuh-ung!

Kicking off, kicking off, and kicking off again.

Each strike contained the power to collapse the crust of the earth.

Flying through the sky, I transformed the shape of the Black Aura I had created as a foothold.

Another ultimate technique unfolded.

Ultimate Technique, Heavenly Net.

A sea of weapons followed behind me like wings.

‘Go!’

Bang! Kwaga Gaga Gang!

The weapons danced.

The Primal Monstrosity’s attacks exploded and were pushed back by the power of each one.

I kicked off again and charged at the Primal Monstrosity.

Hooong! Kwajik!

I couldn’t block everything, I couldn’t avoid everything.

I thought I had dodged it, but pain surged from inside my body.

The pain of bones breaking.

The shoulder, no, the thigh? Maybe both were broken.

There hadn’t been a single direct hit yet.

But they were broken. My body was distorted by the wind pressure caused by the swinging tentacles.

‘It’s okay.’

I just need to endure the pain.

I trust my body. It’s not as much as that monster, but I can recover from this kind of injury in an instant.

What mattered wasn’t my body.

Between the shooting tentacles.

I saw it. The path to the Primal Monstrosity.

Intuition told me, and the Mystic Eyes showed me the possibility.

‘Now!’

Tuh-uh-ung!

I raised Black Night and charged straight towards the Primal Monstrosity’s torso.

-Kereuk!?

-Kieeeek!

At that moment, a part of a monster popped out from the side of the tentacles that had been shot up, along with a bizarre cry.

It wasn’t the end.

As if the expression ‘mother of all monsters’ wasn’t enough, parts of monsters’ bodies popped out from all over its body and opened their maws towards me.

‘Endlessly bizarre abilities……!’

Should I retreat as it is?

I gathered mana to pull back.

At that moment, a flash of light burst from the distance, and the front split open.

Tearrrrr!

Sword energy, it was sword energy.

I turned my head and looked to the side.

In the distance, I saw my father, panting heavily after striking down with his sword.

“The path, I said I would open it for you.”

That’s right.

I wasn’t the only one standing here.

I saw my father attacking the Primal Monstrosity in the distance.

Tearrrrr!

Sword energy burst out like a flood, as if to bisect space.

Cutting, splitting.

The obstacles blocking the way were all swept away.

And a straight path opened up in front of me.

“Go!”

“Yes!”

I kicked off the air.

Passing through the straight path, I finally reached the upper torso of the Primal Monstrosity.

I raised my sword.

Kiiiiiiiiing!

The power of annihilation possessed by Black Night burst out with black light, and carved out all the space in front of me.

Kuuuuuuuuung!

The world was submerged in black light.

The size of the sword was barely 2 meters [approximately 6.5 feet].

But the range of the sword energy that stretched out was enough to bisect the heavens and the earth.

Puhwaaaak!

A part of the Primal Monstrosity’s torso was cut off.

The giant body sprawled out and began to fall to the ground.

‘I did it.’

Feeling that the attack had succeeded for the first time, I quickly retreated.

At that moment.

Gluck!

Something.

From below the severed surface, something surged up.
