Chapter 215 – Omen of Crisis (4)
J8IDA human fell from the clear sky.9GXrP
5dxJA young man with black hair and black eyes. The elder dark elf recognized him instantly.tgT3b5
iePVThe elder began to tremble.omzjrI
FJn0T“Ba-Ba-Balor Joaquin! H-How is it possible that you’re still alive?! And even younger!”p4jkT
Xp8ZZ5Balor Joaquin was a name wrapped in legend even in the Demon Realm.v9T3C
qARddoA transcendent being who had defeated the First Corps Commander, Lycan, centuries ago before vanishing from the world.NJ2q0
z2wThe few demons who had locked eyes with his black gaze rarely survived.tYEza
fXBDP7And if they did survive, they never remained sane. Trembling and convulsing, they would all say.91Thl0
Nyro‘Avoid the human with black eyes… He’s not human… nor demon… He’s a god… a black god!’zYKhK
1DCThe current elder of the dark elves, Rog, had spoken those words 700 years ago with crazed, bloodshot eyes. Rog survived only because Balor Joaquin, on a whim of mercy, spared his life.sXM03HQ
Ad2Rather, he had begged for it.YhRi
5uP7jHe even swore never to approach humans again.cpbzDWO
e70Centuries passed. And deep in the elder’s heart, the dark desires he had once repressed began to boil again. Thus, the dark elves reappeared before humanity.vC4MvRB
14GKHowever…MAyPVfc
4TFmN36Rog’s bluish face turned even paler, like a standing corpse. His aide hurriedly whispered in his ear.sQ90ox
do21C“Elder, with all due respect, that’s not the hero from the ancient times. That’s the young man who recently rose as one of the Seven Stars.”vxr9Y2
of7“Ah?”lfzYi
Syh46“He’s known as the Heavenly Sword. He’s the one who killed two Corps Commanders.”BMofCif
AnrA flicker of hope lit up in the elder’s murky eyes. The aide leaned in closer, trying to reassure him.8lcFIEc
fAuy“There’s no need to be so afraid, Elder. Although he defeated two Corps Commanders, both were already unstable. Besides, we’re near the Gate of Gehenna, and our numbers far outweigh theirs. The only concern is…”wHp7AVM
wMwe4OThe aide looked up.hmtu
9uuL0jA shadow spinning slowly in the sky began to grow larger. When everyone could see it clearly, the creature landed.FwY2e
oR586Boom.pEpG
7LSA thick cloud of dust engulfed the area. When it cleared, Horn, in her human form, stood next to Kang Geom-Ma.Fvu
dGvfSgIDirector Sung, jaw dropping, asked.Vaj
K2DBb“S-Sir Kang Geom-Ma… This girl… don’t tell me she’s a… d-dragon?”ggELJY5
V2DoD“Yes, well. I’ll explain that calmly later.”UO0jkmt
upvOGtKang Geom-Ma scratched his eyebrow and turned toward the Swordmaster.oxqF
Xgdw“Swordmaster, please take charge of the rear. There are about fifty of them, but with this girl’s help, it’ll be a piece of cake.”9LJc
t2cThe Swordmaster was still stunned.Cnupkw
wFTb4NeFighting alongside a dragon wasn’t something that happened every day. However, Kang Geom-Ma’s calm gaze conveyed pure confidence.pHQ2
64LZ‘Is he telling me to trust him?’ (Here the Swordmaster doesn’t know the genre of Horn.)OFuA
FNRWeehThe Swordmaster nodded firmly.HraZG
ecTB64“Alright. I’ll protect the rear. You take the front.”sYJNqwo
oixz“Thanks.”db7zGj8
6dICdGxKang Geom-Ma turned to Horn.aZfj
e763“Horn, assist the Swordmaster. And if you get the chance, use your magic to protect our people too. Think you can do it? If you do well, I’ll treat you to triple-grade beef, not just double.”BYfu
OEyQqbLHorn nodded so hard that she sprayed a little spit in excitement.Hyxp
25d“Yes!”8nKC
labrNhKang Geom-Ma smiled broadly.rk18A
S71pThen he fully unsheathed his sashimi knife.bilsml
6Ju“Kill him!”qnclBbc
OvbXAThe dark elf aide shouted.hZDs
zN4Slash!cfm
b2fBut before he could finish his shout, blue blood burst from his throat.rKGA7U4
goZlKHe fell like a puppet with its strings cut.sbssO
jP1The Daiso sashimi knife pierced through his Adam’s apple. Instant death. He was the tribe’s best warrior and died because of a 3,000-won knife.0frhOQm
83UtSC“……!”GLei4
K4aKang Geom-Ma took a step forward, spinning both sashimi knives into a reverse grip, and said.9MwRdr
HRz“I realized something today.”RxJ
YRg0His voice was icy and resonant.yL1hBZ
vQnb2t“I definitely prefer acting first and talking later.”JcNevk
GVIFA fierce grin twisted his face.aDSIek
GjumBoth Murasame and Eternal Frost — his swords — seemed to flash alongside him, smiling under the light.2kSezEa
PU1UpCX***lseJP
yQcFootsteps were heard. Light footsteps, as if someone were merely strolling, but they soon turned into a melody of death.gQvEj
62ej“Kyaaahhh!”RUK
IX3An elf let out a high-pitched scream. Kang Geom-Ma suddenly stabbed her with his sashimi knife. The blade protruded from the back of her neck and was then yanked out.4Iq2i
iCh“Gurggh…”5EnlcL
k2OsThe elf moaned, her eyes rolling upward, showing only the whites.XsTi
yCPGVU“Damn it, I can’t see him!”BVEkLA
rclUu0A nearby elf shouted in desperation. Although he frantically darted his gaze around, the human had already vanished.90ld
E8AHJeCJust a moment ago, he had been right there. Where the hell had he gone? That fleeting doubt meant life or death, but before he could find an answer, a blade pierced his temple.2wPRyd
T67FwLSquelch.GAK
fjwThe half-buried sashimi knife pierced through his skull and exited. The elf died without even realizing he had been killed.VXeZN
bAyc“Form ranks and fire! Those with wands, unleash magic nonstop!”wKt
2CT4lyCThe elven leader shouted, veins bulging in his neck.EIu9l
jhwmiUa“F-Fire arrows! Now!”UaIvDI
nc0IPRmAmidst the chaos, the elves barely managed to organize themselves to launch a volley of arrows.1tHdui
mkCJolYWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!cbwDkJ
Ft9CEnchanted arrows shot through the air at tremendous speed. Each arrow multiplied through illusions, creating a real storm of projectiles.A8Lxc
EXG1It was like a torrential downpour of arrows. Kang Geom-Ma smiled faintly.lNiT9
b7Wvi7A“It’s always the same. Ranged attackers try to restrict my movement. The Fifth Corps Commander did it. The Third Corps Commander did it.”Lbl6LE
xnSJxThe sky darkened as if an eclipse had occurred.Ytw6DKO
SMaP7“But do you really think some lowly elves can hit me?”Fxa
E6gqBKang Geom-Ma stomped alternately with his right and left foot. Darkness fell over him, merging with his shadow.6FT
QtzeN7rUnder the blackened sky, a black human figure stood. Kang Geom-Ma inhaled a breath of icy air.r6JFgLW
5BcNSwish!vKb
ddtWjXpThe blades gleamed. He cut through the rain of arrows. His sashimi knife moved so fast that it left twenty silver trails with each swing.jIsB
wYeThe arrows shattered like twigs. Not a single one touched his skin; they veered off in all directions. A circular barrier formed around him.ixvCI
VlMh8His black eyes tracked every arrow.aSP
qORyLf‘There are a lot of arrows.’brGJ2f
CSDtAHe moved his two sashimi knives, slicing through the magical threads of the arrows.68xrO
cWF‘But if I cut the magic, they’re nothing but toys.’MaHVN
Y1qk3The magic dissipated, and the arrows crumbled.bBq
fyMTs“W-What…?!”T9kS0VI
cYFThe elven leader realized too late. Something was terribly wrong. He ordered the ranged attack to cease, drew his sword, and charged forward.hJGzj
lcc02“I, Gremfield, right hand of Elder Rog, will avenge my fallen brother—grk!”3msD
od86Daiso’s sashimi knife pierced his mouth mid-speech.1OKXBv
yYe4B“A… demon…”Kswo
5cuziThe dark elf’s final polite words. Generous as ever, Kang Geom-Ma hurled another sashimi knife at him.mqLD
LibThe new blade pushed out the old one from his throat.AQRT3
mJc9xiMGremfield, a superior warrior, was dead. The price of his life: 6,000 won—double that of his brother’s.dvVx1C
WkVIl1The elves froze like statues. The air turned frigid.7w6yev
MrjFwKang Geom-Ma shook his messy hair and spoke, staring directly at Elder Rog.wgMQx98
NQJM“Not coming?”NRfJR
fil6VPThe elder raised his trembling index finger like a leaf in the wind.gvU8t
kWTmtz“Y-You… How can you wield the same power as Balor Joaquin while being someone else?”TPZE
AVi13r“Because I’m his disciple.”alB5SGJ
B87enM“W-What?”7AGh1
9RCmOVKang Geom-Ma smiled. His black pupils gleamed with bloodlust and madness.B1eJ1j
zmpT“Well then. If you won’t come, just wait. I’ll come to you.”fFPbmYH
ZLWkVCcKang Geom-Ma dug another furrow into the ground with his foot.691QfjZ
4vc“Dieeeeee!”hXnJ
dNWQ3dThe elves, driven by inertia and fear, rushed at him. Kang Geom-Ma spun his sashimi knife.q6HHZ
djMWith a single slash, he cut diagonally through an entire line of them like slicing bamboo. The screams of ten elves echoed.3WXYUZq
ihkl1Five elves attempted to counterattack, dropping their bows and drawing their swords. A wise choice. But they couldn’t even fully draw their blades.vpRVo
LhB8uBefore they could act, blue lines of blood appeared across their arms and legs. They collapsed, and their collarbones shattered in an instant. The five of them died.Jdx
allThe elves at the rear began chanting spells. Kang Geom-Ma reacted instantly.zZTl2X
JzLBNgDHe activated the Blessing of Strength, moving at explosive speed.91P9FSn
FTnDISnap!nRbup
QXJKang Geom-Ma leaped and landed in the middle of the enemy formation. The elves barely had time to look at him before they lost their vision.xCl0m
4Z2KTbcShink!T8aDMF
SawSix elves fell dead.R9YEs
iYzMjhGKang Geom-Ma wiped the blood from his blades onto his pants. He smeared his bloodied hand across the corner of his lips, then charged once more.N8FPuUt
ev662fK“Elder, help us…!”nfS7e
d5EZAThe elves fled in desperation.rmKx
JO5anBut the sashimi knives rained down on their backs like swallows diving into a pond.cfZp
N4bLoJSlash!A0qoA
QLdYTNumerical advantage was useless. Of about fifty elves, half had already fallen to one man. And the number kept dropping.4EW
GKvXJzSlash!9au9
sTXXAs the elves continued to fall, Elder Rog lowered his head. The ground was soaked with thick blood.5Z4ri
SDsHWu“Heeheehee…”ngl
BVuThe elder clutched his belly and laughed.BjwFBBL
cXPD“So it’s true… Balor Joaquin and Lycan joined forces, and now I see the result with my own eyes.”kNd
HMrLaughing, he shouted toward the Swordmaster fighting in the distance.DbYVKo
mSZm“O descendant of Nibelung! Even if the dark elves go extinct today, remember this! That cursed sword will not distinguish between demon and human!”pMR
cEMgsThe Swordmaster half-turned to glance at Kang Geom-Ma. His gray eyebrows furrowed.kedFua
4OT0Oit‘Kang Geom-Ma…’ZTwPPs
trdeYKang Geom-Ma was slaughtering the elves. Though victory was already assured, his blade continued its bloody pursuit.FFFuuda
H3fm0nw‘If this continues… he’ll lose control.’2xcZU
haRydIt was said that when he fought the Third Corps Commander, Vesna, his hair turned white—his “awakening.” And now, the tips of his hair were already beginning to turn white.MIS8
YsZ‘But Kang Geom-Ma’s awakening is different.’ae9XHsg
JuEksIt was far more extreme. His sashimi knives endlessly thirsted for blood.XSHaoCV
ZjkUyv‘If we don’t stop him, those blades won’t distinguish between friend and foe.’hhIcjQ4
zI9iYet approaching him was dangerous.UhoCgN
6pLEven though the battle had been made easier by Horn’s magic, a careless move could still be fatal.rKbUp4
v7snH3n‘I have to move in at just the right moment.’aWl
u8AZxIThere weren’t many elves left standing. The few survivors could barely move.sDoCGM7
OSKp6Some whimpered, some crawled, others muttered final spells.e1kbJW
5f9xAll of them… ended up dead.9cdVeA
k7U2a“Haa…”RVsj
9JWIKang Geom-Ma closed his eyes. His eyelids felt heavy, and his nose burned with the metallic stench.83z
Wo7jHe slowly opened his eyes and began walking.GpgWnp1
EmcStep. Step.jKS
gmmxQEach step pushed aside bloody bones and remains as if they were pebbles.6K9QC7
jRGfw7Step by step, his black hair gradually returned.sVHx
eNjStep.0rYMj
2kYrZKang Geom-Ma stood before Elder Rog.V3iXDKJ
UHzgLQThe elder, covering his forehead, let out a nervous laugh. His forehead was drenched in sweat.oIPOEA
PyU6bKang Geom-Ma watched him silently and spoke.HnyGX
jtCa“I know you’re still conscious.”kQo
L3aobY6“…….”RDTV7
