Chapter 370: Yoo Honbi
The empty air where blood-red demonic energy swirled.
Kim Minwoo, standing face to face with the Heavenly Demon Yoo Honbi, smirked while casually resting Hell Rhapsody on his shoulder.
His gaze headed down toward the plaza.
Down there, the precious faith vending machines that were infinitely pumping sweet divinity into him, the believers of District 5, were trembling like aspen trees.
To clash with this monster with full power here?
It was obvious that the fertile garden he had painstakingly cultivated and his excellent batteries would all turn into at paste.
"If we fight here, my precious believers will get hurt. Let's move the location a bit. Follow , or don't."
Kim Minwoo threw the words casually as he turned Gleipnir's head.
Yoo Honbi silently re-gripped her demonic sword and nodded. Since she also rely wanted a life-or-death struggle with the strong, she didn't have hobbies like aninglessly massacring the powerless.
"Lead the way. To the place that will beco your grave."
Paaaaat―!
The massive bone dragon and the blood-red demonic energy flew toward the empty wilderness on the outskirts of District 5, shooting like lightning.
And right after the suffocating pressure of the two monsters disappeared, the frozen plaza of District 5 plunged into an uncontrollable panic.
"C-crazy! It's a fight between the Seven Lords!"
"Evacuate! Quickly move to the shelters!"
"Even just a graze from the aftermath and we won't even be able to recover our bones! Hide right now!"
A life-or-death struggle between Seven Lords-class powerhouses they had only heard of in legends.
At the fact that an overwhelming disaster was about to take place right in the middle of District 5, tens of thousands of residents turned pale as a blank sheet of paper and poured into the shelters.
Before long, around the ti the residents barely managed to lock the heavy iron doors of the shelters and hold their breaths.
Kuuuung―!!!
A heavy shockwave that felt like it would split the land of the entirety of District 5 wide open erupted.
The beginning of overwhelming violence where space itself scread and fluctuated.
"……They are really, clashing……"
"The Death Lord and the Heavenly Demon……."
Gulp.
Everyone swallowed their saliva.
Powerhouses whose aftermath they could not dare to handle with their skills.
Above the blood-red sky on the outskirts of District 5, the pitch-black despair of Hell Rhapsody and the dark red supremacy of Heavenly Demon Yoo Honbi were finally clashing head-on.
Kwaaaaaaang―!
Just a single clash.
With just that, the land on the outskirts of District 5 split apart like a spiderweb, carving out canyons tens of ters deep.
The dark red energy and pitch-black mana expanded into a sphere, erasing all surrounding rocks and dirt dust on a molecular level.
"……!"
The mont their swords touched each other, Yoo Honbi's blood-red pupils dilated minutely.
A distant heavy pressure transmitted through her grip.
The Heavenly Demon's absolute sword logic that crossed the boundaries of the material realm to cut down the essence, the Mind Sword, had been solidly blocked before it even reached Hell Rhapsody's blade.
'Does this make sense?'
A chilling shiver ran down her spine.
She had fully heard the rumors that the Necromancer's main body was strong. It was said that what split Lupus in two was also this man's swordsmanship. However, knowing it in her head and personally crossing swords were worlds apart.
[Using skill, Descent (EX)!]
[The power of the absolute who governs death dwells in your physical body!]
[The authority of the Maestro of the Underworld (EX) is maximized!]
A distant divinity governing death.
And the heavy life force and mana of an army of tens of thousands resonating perfectly at the tip of the conductor's sword.
Yoo Honbi's Mind Sword, which tried to cut the essence by escaping the material realm, was rather being crushed and crumbling like a piece of paper before the physical violence overlaid with that overwhelming and ignorant class and density.
"Where are you looking?"
Seogeok―!
The mont Yoo Honbi was astonished by the density of that overwhelming divinity, Kim Minwoo's Hell Rhapsody twisted its trajectory like a snake and aid for the nape of her neck.
Chaeng―!
Kaaang!
Yoo Honbi instinctively pulled up her demonic sword and deflected the slash, but the chilling dissonance unique to Hell Rhapsody tore her eardrums and shook her brains.
"Keueuk……!"
At the power of the Mythical-rank demonic sword that dealt a direct blow to the soul, Yoo Honbi gritted her teeth and was pushed back dozens of steps. Two deep furrows were dug into the ground.
The pushed-back Yoo Honbi glared at Kim Minwoo as if she couldn't believe it, but in fact, Kim Minwoo was also inwardly clicking his tongue in amazent.
'She's no joke, this woman.'
His fingertips tingled.
It was qualitatively different from when he fought Lupus.
The Blood Wolf Lupus was a type who lunged with overwhelming life force, the authority of blood, and beast-like explosive power and instinct. To put it bluntly, his patterns were simple so it was easy to read.
However, Heavenly Demon Yoo Honbi was different.
The completeness of her swordsmanship itself was entirely different.
A technique polished to the limit itself.
"Ha. This is much more fun than when catching a beast brat."
Kim Minwoo tapped the blade of Hell Rhapsody and sneered.
"Because you're the Heavenly Demon, I thought you were just an old boor who suppresses with pure strength, but you know how to use a sword, don't you?"
"……For a re Necromancer, daring to overlay the power of divinity and the legion onto a sword to suppress the Mind Sword."
A chilling voice leaked out from between Yoo Honbi's red lips.
Above her demonic sword, a dark red energy began to swirl like a storm. It was a signal that playti was over.
"However, ignorant strength is bound to eventually break before supremacy. I will engrave clearly what the true power of the Heavenly Demon is."
Kugugugung―!
From Yoo Honbi's entire body, the true qi of the Heavenly Demon Divine Arts broke through the critical point and erupted. The sky was dyed a complete blood-red, and the mana in the atmosphere was sucked into her demonic sword like a black hole.
[Heavenly Demon Yoo Honbi deploys Heavenly Demon's Reigning Sword!]
"Break."
Yoo Honbi swung down her demonic sword.
Flash.
It was only a single swing, but hundreds, thousands of dark red slashes left afterimages in the empty air and entangled like a net.
The perfect trajectory of death, which even light could not escape, entirely erased the wilderness on the outskirts of District 5 and covered Kim Minwoo.
'Look at this range.'
There was nowhere to dodge.
However, he didn't even have the thought of dodging.
"Legion Commanders, lend your strength."
Along with his short muttering…….
[Using skill, Descent (EX)!]
[The authority of the Maestro of the Underworld (EX) is maximized!]
The divinity governing death descended upon Kim Minwoo's physical body, and under the perfect direction of the Maestro, the massive mana and life force spewed by the four Legion Commanders, Cedric, rhen, Vulcan, and Olivia, poured toward Hell Rhapsody like a waterfall.
However, it was nearly impossible for a single, simple sword blade to fully contain that vast power and energy.
At that instant.
The transcendent senses of the Descent state and the perfect tuning of the Maestro interlocked, and a flashing intuition brushed past Kim Minwoo's mind.
[You have obtained a bizarre realization!]
[The utilization of Compression is expanded!]
[Fixing an intangible concept onto a tangible object.]
"……This is it."
Instead of spreading out broadly to dominate space, it was an extre condensation, as if containing the universe on the single tip of a needle.
Kim Minwoo gripped Hell Rhapsody tightly.
[Using skill, Compression (EX)!]
[Target: The legion's mana, dissonance, and death.]
The pitch-black energy that was about to spread out and the noise that tore the soul were forcibly cramd into the sword blade.
When sound is trapped, it becos vibration, and when vibration is condensed to the extre, it becos destruction.
Jjijijik, Jjeojeojeok―!
The space around the sword could not withstand it and crumbled, causing black noise.
An absolute sword of silence that erased even sound.
However, within it, tens of thousands of screams of death were boiling like a bomb right before detonation.
"I will cut everything down."
Kim Minwoo gripped Hell Rhapsody, which had compressed even intangible death into a single point, and swung the sword upward head-on toward the thousands of Heavenly Demon's Reigning Swords.
Kwaaaaaaang―!
All sounds of the world were erased in an instant.
The thousands of dark red slashes forged by the Heavenly Demon and the single flash of silence wherein Kim Minwoo's divinity was compressed to the extre clashed head-on.
"……!!"
Yoo Honbi's two eyes widened as if they would tear.
The Heavenly Demon's Reigning Sword, her lifelong pride that boasted absolute destructive power, was being torn apart like a piece of paper by Kim Minwoo's single pitch-black slash.
Jjeojeojeojeojeok―!
The power of the two out-of-standard monsters finally broke through the limit.
Along with a terrible rupturing sound like a glass window breaking, the space itself on the outskirts of District 5 where they were clashing shattered into a hideous spiderweb shape and began to reveal a pitch-black dinsional rift.
Jjeojeojeojeok―!
[Warning! Space in District 5 is about to collapse due to an out-of-standard collision!]
[The system forcibly intervenes!]
[Forcibly isolating the two divine entities into the dinsional rift!]
"……What?"
Before Kim Minwoo and Yoo Honbi could even react, a massive dinsional rift opened its maw beneath their feet.
An imnse suction power defying gravity swallowed the two monsters in an instant.
The dinsional rift.
The mont they were sucked into that bizarre space devoid of both light and sound, a terrible energy that seed to choke their breaths covered the two of them.
'This is……!'
Kim Minwoo's eyes widened.
A terribly ominous and bizarre energy that chilled down to the bones.
It was the energy of an Outer God.
―Kkuu!
Hayangi, who had been on Kim Minwoo's shoulder, flapped its wings and burrowed into his body.
[Divine Beast Hayangi synchronizes with its master!]
[You can utilize the Chaos attribute!]
Kim Minwoo imdiately drew up the energy of chaos and deployed it as a protective barrier wrapping around himself.
The extre barrier specialized for the mind and soul, which he had obtained after swallowing the Abyss Lord.
Shuuuuuk―!
Within the dinsional turbulence, the veil of chaos deployed by Kim Minwoo shook violently. And in that process, the barrier of Yoo Honbi, who was drawing up her qi to withstand the spatial pressure, and Kim Minwoo's chaos attribute collided, brushing past each other for a brief instant.
Chaos.
The power to forcibly read and uncover the opponent's most terrible traumas and mories.
The mont space distorted, the energy of chaos pierced through Yoo Honbi's barrier and forcibly played back the past sealed deep within her soul like a panorama in Kim Minwoo's mind.
