Chapter 347
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
After defeating the toad, I obtained the Tortoise Shell Plate Armor, Nine Stars Main Array, and Twin Swords, rescuing General Hwang Yeon's group. Then I moved to the Blood Path Group's base, massacred the pirates just like before, rescued the pirate captives, and seized the treasure from Pirate Island.
After that, I stopped by Dongyoung to mine some black obsidian before heading to the Shadowless Gate. When I handed Seo Mun-hye over to the Sword Demon, he looked noticeably surprised. It wasn't just shock at his daughter returning to him—it seemed to stem from the aura radiating from me as well.
The Sword Demon didn't hide his fighting spirit.
"You've got an incredible sword aura for someone so young. Have you achieved return to youth?"
"No."
I shook my head firmly and handed the black obsidian over to the Sword Demon. He took it with a puzzled expression, but as soon as he absorbed its memories, his face lit up with realization. His body shuddered for a moment before he spoke.
"Heh... A moment of indulgence leads to disaster, they say. Who would've thought you'd die like that, Baek Woong."
I gave a bitter smile.
