Dohyuks feet were covered in flames. The Parasitic Spirit that was once the Goddess of Flame granted Dohyuk the Divine Power to burn everything to ashes.

Dohyuk was facing the Tyrant face to face for the first time. He wasnt that special at all. His height was average and he had a stout body. He was in his early thirties, and he was like any man that could be found anywhere on the road. However, Dohyuk saw that the man wasnt shocked or anything at all.

But

It was too late to dodge. Dohyuk knew it, and his feet struck Jung Ilgyus neck.

Then Dohyuk kicked with the other foot to jumped back. As he landed on the ground and looked up-

!

A sharp pain pierced from his chest; a small blade had penetrated his stomach. It was the same weapon that killed Byungil a few hours ago. What shocked Dohyuk was the fact that it was not Yoo Giwon who had attacked him.

You dare interfere in my fight?

Ilgyu was infuriated, not at Dohyuk, but at Giwon. Dohyuk couldnt see Ilgyus face clearly as his head was burning with the flames that he had created. The smell of burning flesh permeated the air, but Ilgyu did not scream.

Its hot.

He turned toward Dohyuk and slapped his own face.

Its a nice flame. You wouldve gotten me if I didnt have my items.

Then the fire was put out. His face was burnt, and a few places were slightly burned, but that was it.

So, is that it?

!

Do something if you have more.

Dohyuk jumped again to launch his strongest kick. Ilgyu did not dodge.

This too

Ilgyu spoke as he was hit by the foot, but he did not budge an inch. He then raised his palm to grab Dohyuks leg.

You should have at least 200 in all physical stats with some skills too. Is it a 4-star? Or 5-star skill? Very impressive. I can even make you a Four Circle right now.

The crushed bones in the foot were painful, but Dohyuk suddenly felt his world spinning around. Ilgyu swung Dohyuk around like he did to Giwon. His leg wasnt pulled out like Yoo Giwons arm however.

Oh, this is really impressive.

Ilgyu tried yanking him again, but Dohyuk kicked Ilgyu this time. When the third attack struck Ilgyu, one of his legs was pushed back, and there was a slight glass-like cracking sound at the point where Dohyuk had kicked.

Dohyuk had felt that on his first kick Ilgyu had some kind of invisible barrier. And then came the fourth attack. However, it didnt land as Ilgyu let go of Dohyuks foot.

Goddammit.

The sound of bones and muscles twisting came from Ilgyus right arm. His right arm was now turning into a giant white sword. All his arm bones were turning into a sword. Dohyuk reached out to touch the sword, and in the slight second that his fingertips touched it, his hand was sliced into two.

You f*ck.

Then Dohyuks arm was sliced off, and the sword was swung again.

Dohyuks two legs landed on the ground, and his upper body dropped, cut off from its lower part.

!

Oh, youre alive. Good, Ilgyu smiled as he looked at Dohyuk. Dohyuk tried to speak, but he couldnt find his voice.

Hmm. What a pleasant sight.

Ilgyu grinned and turned to Giwon.

Lucky for you. I feel good now.

So, I will stop here for today.

I will do my best to complete your mission, sir.

Of course.

Ilgyus right arm sword then turned back into a normal arm. The crack on his neck also returned back to normal. Ilgyu then walked out toward the exit and glanced at Dohyuk.

But that was a shame. Ive never seen that fighting style before. It seems like youve become more powerful with this second life, but why do you even try to fight?

Ilgyu then looked away and talked to Giwon.

Keep him alive okay? Im sure youre not a moron who finishes off in mercy.

Yes, sir.

He cackled and moved out. Giwon then rose up. He could barely stand with his one arm, but he slowly put his hand into his mouth and took out his hidden medicine.

<>

It was as Ilgyu said. Giwon had medicine that was powerful enough to heal his detached arm at once. However, he didnt take it all himself. He walked toward Dohyuk, who had been sliced into two. Giwon tried to give the potion to Dohyuk, but Dohyuk resisted.

W-wai

Dohyuk then searched for the blade that Giwon threw at him. It was stuck in his chest, but did not reach his flesh.

Kakudenols armor was still on him. Giwon had carried Dohyuk for a while so he knew the dagger would not kill him. He was only doing it to give Dohyuk a way to regenerate. Dohyuk grabbed the dagger.

Digest

The dagger disappeared, but it wasnt enough. His arm regenerated, but his lower body wasnt coming back. Dohyuk then flipped around and dragged himself toward his lower body and took out Kwangmins knuckle.

Digest.

Giwon then gave him Byungils pole and Dohyuks body finally returned to normal.

I thought it was going to be either of two. Either you succeed, or were all doomed.

He drank the potion and slumped against the wall.

But I guess there was a third option. At least you and I we are both alive

No. Dohyuk said, This was the best.

?

Dohyuk was still shaken from the aftermath, but he slowly took off the clothing from his dead lower body to wear and turned to Giwon.

At least I can now believe that you are enemy to the Tyrant.

Thats good, Giwon smiled. But so what? They didnt have time now. Everything Giwon had planned was now in ruins.

Didnt you say it before Ilgyu came in? That you can find the treasure alone? Maybe you are right, although its impossible to find it within a week

No need to do it. Dohyuk had something else in mind, If Im not wrong, everything will be ready in a week, right?

30 thousand people were required for the offering, along with the necessary supplies for the Tyrant to go over to China.

If he really plans to win against the Swordmaster and take over China, he will take everything with him.

Youre not wrong about that.

Giwon understood what Dohyuk was saying. Ilgyu would bring everything to one place before leaving, but that didnt mean there wasnt a chance to take it all away from him. After all, they had no chance against the Tyrant.

There is.

Huh?

Its not 100%.

Dohyuk spoke as he looked down at his hand, the one that touched the bone sword. The sword was fast, but he clearly saw the words that popped up.

<>

<>

So Giwon couldnt believe it. You could have

I probably couldve digested it if I wanted to, Dohyuk confirmed his thoughts.

But why-

It wasnt enough.

Dohyuk wasnt planning to win in the first place. He only thought it was worth it to see how powerful the man was. The Tyrant was powerful for sure.

If I digested, Ilgyu would know that it was me.

Then what would have happened after? What if they killed Ilgyu here? The things that werent in his hands would now end up in another persons hands and would pose a separate threat.

It was not the right time to win.

If we meet him again, hell have more.

And if he saw Dohyuk as the one who uses the leg, he would relax and let down his guard. Then Dohyuk would go all out.

What you need to do is to bring me to that place at the right time. I guess you can do that at least.

Giwon was at a loss for words. Dohyuk then struck his face with his fist.

Carry me.

What

Lets go. I dont know what that bracelet is, but it wouldnt be bad to check it out first.

It was going to be Dohyuks anyway.

They walked out and people were still shocked and terrified by the Tyrants visit. Giwon spoke to them with a cold voice.

Well be moving to the northern canyons. Its the Tyrants orders. If we dont come back, no need to report.

No one could reply and Giwon began walking out.

But why did the man order you to bring that bracelet?

Something was weird. If the place had such a valuable item, then a powerful man shouldve been stationed at the place already. Why would he order Giwon to go there?

No one stationed there.

Why?

Giwon answered, The god there is mad.
