Chapter 106 : Chapter 106
Chapter 106: Samurai (3)
I cannot lose.
Because the children of the childcare facility that raised me are held hostage.
The lives of the children are more important than mine.
If it were just my life, I could commit suicide along with that detestable woman.
But the children.
Children with a future shouldn't have to do that.
So even if I have to bear the disgrace of abandoning my country.
Even if I hear people say I became a dog for a single woman despite possessing the power of a god.
I could endure it.
Therefore.
I had to make a decision here, with these hands, for those children.
― I will kill the Demon King here.
That guy whose reflection I see.
Even knowing that he is a good person.
So I decided to send him off cleanly.
Without him feeling any pain.
With all my might.
But…….
“Why are you trying to kill a living person?”
A strange thing happened.
Even with the power of a Returnee called a god.
Even with this sword that can cut the moon.
Something appeared that I could not cut for the first time.
“Isn’t your bluffing a bit too much?”
That Demon King who is nonchalantly picking his nose.
***
“How…… are you alive…….”
“What are you talking about? I’m alive because I’m alive. You’re asking a strange question.”
“Haa…… I guess I was too complacent. Since you are also a Returnee.”
The Samurai, having composed his expression, lowered his stance.
“I will send you off cleanly this time. So that you won’t feel…… any pain.”
Flash.
As soon as Toshi’s eyes opened wide.
The Samurai’s hand gripped the sword tightly.
“Draw Sword Second Form.”
Shing!
The blade shot out as if sticking out a tongue.
A speed that grazed even the air.
The sound of metal struck the ears, and the water split in a straight line.
The water in the swimming pool to the side soared up, drawing ripples centered on the sword, and the children around held their breath.
Following that.
Rumble!!!!!!!!
A sound like thunder filled the swimming pool.
And then.
Clack!
The Samurai’s sword returned to its scabbard again.
An attack much faster than the previous one.
Naturally, there was no one here who could capture that attack with their eyes.
Gulp.
Lee Si-wang, Jin-ho, and Kang Tae-wook tried their best to capture even a little bit of that attack with their eyes, but.
“Missed it again.”
“…….”
No matter how hard they tried, they could not yet cross that wall called a Returnee.
“Huu…….”
Exhaling a breath that rose from his energy core, Toshi straightened his waist.
With his back still turned to the target, he recited in a low voice.
“As worldly affairs go. Let us think that we also had no connection. So in the next life…….”
“Why do you keep putting on a one-man show by yourself? Are you shooting a movie or something?”
At the voice that shouldn’t have been heard, the Samurai’s body turned around quickly.
This time, the appearance of Yoo jin, who was even more bold and nonchalant, with his hands in his pockets.
Toshi, having captured that image in his eyes, made an expression as if he were about to have a seizure.
“Just…… how are you alive, no! How is there not a single scratch? I definitely felt the sensation of cutting…….”
“What sensation of cutting. Does your sword have nerves or something? Looking without seeing, and being certain about it, you’re like an amateur.”
“Wh… wh… amateur? You bastard! Are you mocking my warrior’s code!”
“Mockery or whatever, anyway, I enjoyed your show. But…… there is a limit to the time I can play along with your sincerity. Because time is up now.”
Yoo Jin's expression, which had been gentle, sank coldly.
A clearly changed atmosphere.
Not only his expression, but the flow of demonic energy hovering around the Demon King’s body also moved rapidly as if the current was speeding up.
The Samurai corrected his stance.
Because he felt Yoo jin’s sincerity.
However.
“Time is up, what does that…….”
Behind the Samurai’s curiosity.
Yoo Jin's hand moved as if to give the answer.
The hand that had moved up while smoothly cutting through the air.
Snap!
Stopped while pointing at a certain spot.
There were cup noodles placed on a table there.
“The ramen is getting soggy.”
“…….”
Another Returnee who came to understand why people in the world say all Returnees are crazy bastards.
It was the Samurai.
***
The spectacle created by the Samurai wearing such a dumbfounded expression and Yoo jin’s sincerity to end the fight before the ramen got soggy was truly tremendous.
Clang!!!!
Behind the sharp sound, a tremendous wind caused an aftermath.
It was to the point where one couldn’t imagine that a sword and a fist were colliding.
Why the fights of Returnees are called a War of Gods.
Why everything around them turns to ash; those present finally came to realize it.
The Samurai who abandoned draw techniques and fought with his sword drawn.
His specialty and ultimate skill were not draw techniques; he had simply used only that until now because he could win against opponents with just draw techniques.
However, the opponent was a Returnee.
Furthermore, an existence who had been in the other world for the longest time, to the point where rumors couldn't even compare.
Naturally, fighting with all his might was the correct answer.
Clang!
Clang!
Slash.
Diagonal slash.
The famous sword, which had become one with the Samurai’s body, cut through the air at a speed the eyes could not follow.
And at the end of that empty air, Yoo jin was always standing.
As if he could see that fast dance of the sword that no one around could follow, Yoo jin was throwing his fists to counter the sword.
Minutes?
No, seconds... no, units even smaller than that.
During that moment, called an instant, the Returnees exchanged several blows.
Of course, those around them couldn’t count the number of those exchanges.
But they could just tell that those fighting before their eyes were engaging in combat in a different dimension.
To the extent that it was invisible.
So.
Exactly that much of a difference.
They were feeling a wall they could not reach no matter how many times they were reborn.
“It’s tremendous…….”
“I know, right…….”
Lee Si-wang and Jin-ho were rolling their eyeballs rapidly to capture even a little bit of that fight with their eyes.
And beside them, Kang Tae-wook was.
“The Supreme King is amazing too but... as expected... Teacher is... nonsense.”
He spat out words as if he was seeing a little more of what others couldn’t see.
“What is?”
“Why is Teacher?”
At the voices of Lee Si-wang and Jin-ho, Kang Tae-wook continued speaking.
“He is fighting while minimizing damage to the surroundings. Blocking all the slashes coming from the sword too.”
“…….”
“…….”
Lee Si-wang and Jin-ho opened their eyes twice as wide and focused on the fight between the Samurai and Yoo jin.
“I can’t see it.”
“How did you know that?”
“Ha, really…… setting aside the hanger-on Jin-ho, shouldn’t the assistant homeroom teacher be able to see it?”
Tsk.
Lee Si-wang stiffened his lips at Kang Tae-wook’s words and avoided his gaze.
“Kids these days are truly…….”
“Wow, but that’s amazing, Tae-wook. You must be able to see that fight now.”
“O… Of course. The fight started a while ago. It’s about time my eyes got used to it!”
Kang Tae-wook was bluffing, but in fact, he had only barely managed to follow one or two scenes with his eyes and spoke.
Well, even so.
Discovering what Jin-ho and Lee Si-wang couldn’t discover was quite a significant event.
In the midst of that.
Boom!!!!!
Swish!
Along with a tremendous explosion sound, Yoo jin and the Samurai, who had been fighting closely until now, widened the distance.
“You have skills worthy of being called Demon King? To exchange blows with this Supreme King for this long.”
“I hate that nickname Demon King, you punk. And why do all you Returnee bastards attach ‘King’ to the end, it makes me cringe.”
“We didn’t attach it. People gave it to us. Anyway, let’s end this now. You said you don’t have time either.”
“Right. Since you didn’t die even after I hit you once after a long time, I was playing around without realizing it.”
He didn’t know if the Demon King’s words were true or false, but the Samurai didn’t care.
The most dangerous thing in a battle of masters is for the mind to be disturbed.
He knew well that if his tension loosened even for 1 second, and his mind became lax, he would die.
Therefore, even if it was a bit unpleasant, he erased those words.
Since this fight was over now anyway.
“Then…… let’s end this now.”
Behind the Samurai’s voice, Yoo Jin's eyes hardened into a straight line.
A density of demonic energy completely different from before.
Killing intent pricking Yoo jin’s skin.
It seemed he was intending to use something like the greatest ultimate skill that Samurai could use.
“Looks like he’s serious…….”
Yoo jin, letting out a bitter voice, scratched his forehead.
And then he said something that didn’t fit this urgent situation.
“Can’t we stop around here? I feel like we had a pretty fun spar after a long time.”
The Samurai’s brow furrowed.
A spar…….
“I did not come to do something like a spar. I came risking my life. And to take your life.”
“I mean, why are you going this far.”
“That is…….”
Toshi bit his trembling lip tightly.
It was no use talking about it.
He had tried struggling for the past few years himself, but.
There was nothing he could do.
“I am a returnee from China. A traitor who abandoned his motherland. And you are an existence that harms China. That is all. Just that…….”
Having finished speaking, the Supreme King’s sword was dyed black.
And then
Sizzle!
Sizzle!
It began to ripple grotesquely like living darkness.
“This is my ultimate technique that uses my life force as collateral. Please die in one hit. Because that is a good result for both you and me.”
Toshi, having spat out the last words with a powerless voice, closed his eyes.
Concentrating the spirit of his entire body.
He was awakening every part of his physical body.
And Yoo jin, watching that appearance, let out a deep exhale.
His expression sank calmly.
It took the form of an expressionless face, but those who knew would know.
That this was the expression Yoo Jin made when he was extremely angry.
He knew he wouldn’t back down, but.
He didn’t know he would see it through to the end even staking his own life force.
With this, he became certain.
A Returnee possessing power to live as he pleased.
The reason why that Returnee, the Supreme King, was challenging Yoo jin even using up his life force….
“Right. That might be a good method for both you and me. But you know…… there is nothing in the world important enough to stake your life on. So…….”
Zip.
A switch was summoned in Yoo Jin's hand.
And then.
Flash!
Yoo jin’s figure disappeared.
To the extent that even the eyes of the opponent, the Supreme King, could not follow this time…….
“I lost sight of the opponent…….”
“Let’s stop now.”
A voice heard from behind the Supreme King’s back before he knew it.
The flinching and surprised Samurai turned his body and slashed horizontally with his sword.
“From the day I grasped this sword given by China, I decided. Not to bend. Even if I am pointed at! Even if I am called a traitor who abandoned his motherland! Even if I don't become myself! To protect! I swore on this sword…… on this sword!”
The Samurai vomiting out his resentment.
No one knew whether that voice was directed at Yoo jin or at himself.
Even himself who spat out the voice…….
To the ears of the Samurai whose breathing had become rough due to the torrent of emotions.
“Is that so? Then if this sword disappears, the vow disappears too, right?”
The Samurai’s eyes wavered, and in his shaking vision.
Grin.
He saw Yoo jin smiling mischievously.
“Extend.”
As Yoo jin commanded, the switch grew longer, and.
Crash!!!!!
The head part of the extending rod hit the sword held by the Samurai like a spear.
As the famous sword held by the Samurai broke.
The black aura blooming over the sword screamed and oxidized.
A famous sword under heaven.
A Myth-grade artifact just this simply…….
“Now that this sword is gone, it’s fine, right? Don’t get tied down by strange things, life is your own.”
“You…….”
“Anyway, let’s wrap this up as this. Take responsibility.”
“What…….”
In the eyes of the Samurai who was dumbfounded by the continuously unfolding nonsensical situation.
“You have to pay the price for the ramen getting soggy and bursting. Well, cool your head a bit too.”
Ignoring the Samurai who was trying to say something.
Yoo Jin slowly raised his hand.
“Sincere Corporal Punishment Series Step 1.”
Yoo jin, assuming a finger-flick stance, snapped his finger.
Thwack!!!!!!
Along with a tremendous impact sound, the Samurai who was hit by the finger flick slumped forward just like that.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
The Supreme King.
The Samurai who splits the moon.
The Nightmare Returnee.
The monster called a god.
Was defeated by a single finger flick.
