Chapter 268

Death Lord had been watching what has been unfolding from the beginning.

Having left the Darkness, he was, at one time, active in the demon world, and more recently, had taught the one called the ‘King of the Dead’.

Afterwards, the King of the Dead had been able to establish the foundation of a transcendental being, but he could not influence the Death Lord’s mind.

‘King Slayer, is this what you saw?’

Muyoung’s way was very crude.

It was different, dangerous, and unconventional.

What of that?

The Death Lord saw the possibilities from that.

Seeing and feeling things that which have not been seen or felt before, he could, somehow, understood them when he saw Muyoung.

It was possible that King Slayer realized this side of Muyoung.

Therefore, King Slayer had bet all of his hopes on Muyoung.

That was on Muyoung who had endless possibilities….

‘This is not an undead.’

What was more surprising was the very essence of the Crimson Balrog.

Even though he was born, filled with resentment and curses, there was overwhelming life force unlike the undead.

How could there be such life force from the entity that had such extreme yin from the beginning?

It was as if he had been revived from the dead.

Death Lord of the past had wanted to create true life. He despaired because he couldn’t do it, and he had lost the possibility when he become a lich himself.

However, Muyoung’s way has given him a new beginning.

It was as if was teaching Death Lord that there existed a way, such as this.

‘Create life with death. No, transcend a story into life.’

Death Lord trembled.

It was on a different level than any other undead that Muyoung has made so far.

It was a true work of the Art, created by Muyoung who has attained semi-divinity, and numerous enlightenments.

This was a beginning. It was simple, yet the method was never simple.

‘Perhaps….’

However, it wasn’t exquisite. That was strength and yet, it was also a weakness.

If the experience of Death Lord was to be added.

Muyoung would attain the power of death, and the true power of creation.

Death Lord became certain.

That was, the certainty that by being able to leap beyond his own level, Muyoung would be able to step into the territory that Death Lord wasn’t able to reach!

“O, Artanis! This duel is a mistake. The method of using that power is sinister and blasphemous, so, I, respectfully, ask you to reconsider.”

The King of the Dead begged when the fire beast fell.

He insisted that Muyoung’s art was wrong.

“I’m the traditional one who wields the power of death. I am the only one who can maximize this art.”

The King of the Dead knew well that Death Lord was looking into this space.

Truly… The King of the Dead was much like Death Lord.

That was, he could be called a… traditionalist.

Everything, starting with that method, was following the way of Death Lord.

So, his limitations were very clear.

More than anything, the King of the Dead didn’t like to go out beyond the boundaries.

After establishing a place in the north, he was just happy to be living while ruling the territory. That was the reason as to why Death Lord has ignored the King of the Dead until now.

On the other hand, how about Muyoung?

‘Face head on and be victorious.’
