Possessed Man’s Artifact Restaurant - Chapter 130



Only Krnovel

Episode 130

I once told my older sister, Geum-hu, that I wanted to avoid fighting strong people as much as possible.

But, looking back on the past times, I realized that I was not as normal as I thought.

Even right now, I feel this desire to fight an SS-class strongman.

‘It must be strong, right? That’s… a swordsman?’

Unfortunately, in the original, there was no opportunity to fight the Sword King.

Because he was unable to fight properly to protect Lee Hye-yeon, he met his end.

That’s why I felt even more excited.

“Swear on magic, my dear.”

“Of course. I swear by magic. If you beat me, I will spare Hye-yeon Lee’s life.”

After confirming that I had sworn to magic, the sword master raised his sword blade and looked at me with gleaming eyes.

Although he had suffered a number of internal injuries, his momentum remained the same.

‘This… If I had fought at 100% condition, I would have definitely lost.’

The opponent is a strong player who competes for the top spot even in the SS class.

No matter how big the country was, it was an opponent that could not be defeated without Yena’s unique ability, ‘Saint’.

Of course, it’s different in my current physical condition.

[Taecheonryu (太天流) first meal, Taegwangjin (太光進)]

Taecheonryu, a swordsmanship style that focuses on strong power rather than fast speed, had a strong and heavy sword.

To put it nicely, he is honest, but to put it badly, he is obvious.

Of course, this is just a story below the level of a realm… .

[Plum Blossom Stream (梅花流) Type 8 Iron Plum Sword (鐵梅劍)]

‘It’s heavy.’

For a strong person like Kang Mu-won, even that obvious swordsmanship would be difficult to block.

That’s because it has reached a point where you literally know it but can’t stop it.

Moreover, because of his characteristics, it wasn’t easy for me to get through him.

The power of Taecheonryu lies in its simplicity while not giving the opponent any openings.

Name: Kang Mu-won

Age: 66 years old

Stamina: SS+ Grade (SS+ Grade)

Magic Power: SS-Class (SS-Class)

Power: SS-class (SS-class)

Defense: SS+ Grade (SS+ Grade)

Agility: S+ Grade (S+ Grade)

Acceleration: SS-class (SS-class)

Unique ability: Hardening (A grade)

Hardening, a technique that allows you to harden parts of your body, consumes a lot of magic power, but allows you to use the ability freely whenever you want.

In other words, you should think that there is no gap at all.

‘You should break it with a strong sword rather than a quick sword.’

So, it was quite a difficult opponent.

Because it has high defense and stamina, and its unique ability is excellent for defense.

It was a natural enemy of my fighting style, which favored the strategy of overwhelming the opponent with numbers.

[Artifact activation ‘Cinder Pipe (A-Grade) (2/5)’ activation]

[Leaves a strong spark around, increasing the effect of fire attribute magic by 100%.]

‘There is little information about the opponent.’

Since there was no fight in the original, I had to fight more carefully than the opponents I had fought so far.

“You have a long tongue but are very timid.”

“If you’re going to do it, why don’t you tell me to be careful?”

As expected of an old man, he didn’t show much emotion even when provoked.

You’ve probably heard this level of provocation countless times on countless battlefields.

“But you seem quite cautious, don’t you?”

I have information about the other person, but the other person has no information about me at all.

Unlike my previous enemies, Kang Mu-won was fighting with me as an ally, not a subordinate.

It was a sight that made one understand why he had survived for so long.

“If you stay still, I’ll go first?”

I grabbed the ‘Snowflake’ while watching the bastard’s expression and ran forward first.

[Plum Blossom Stream 4, Plum Blossom Crazy]

Kang Mu-won, who accurately blocked my sword despite the quick movement, swung his sword down from above without changing his expression.

[Taecheonryu (太天流) 3 types, Taesanap (太山壓)]

[Plum Blossom Stream (梅花流) Type 8 Iron Plum Sword (鐵梅劍)]

Kang-!

A powerful attack coming from an unavoidable angle.

So, I held onto the weight with a firm grip.

Kwaaaaang―!

However, the weight was too much to bear and the ground gradually gave way, forcing me to my knees.

‘This is definitely not an opponent that can be defeated by force alone.’

I quickly gave up and cast my magic towards the floor right in front of me.

[3rd circle attributeless magic, repulsive force]

Phew!

Kwaaaaang―!

I was bounced off by the magic, barely avoiding the bastard’s attack, and then as I widened the distance, I confirmed that the effect of the artifact I had activated earlier was still present.

[6th circle fire attribute magic, Inferno Flame]

Hwaruk!

Hwaaaa …

The magic that was given the power of the artifact, the Ash Pipe, caused a huge karma and covered Kang Mu-won.

[Taecheonryu (太天流) 6th form, Taesanjin (太山陣)]

[Unique ability ‘Hardening (A-class)’ activated.]

However, his defense was solid.

Perhaps because it was a very powerful magic that spread out the Taesanjin at the same time as the hardening, it didn’t seem to cause much damage.

‘What a crazy defensive ability.’

It was really hard not to laugh out loud at the sight of him standing there and enduring it without even trying to fight back.

But even in that situation, the corners of my mouth went up.

It was hard to feel better than the sound of a pounding heart.

‘I could use that now.’

He gripped the sword tightly, drawing all his nerves to the tip of the sword.

As the magical power that escaped from Manaheart gathered at the tip of the sword, a pure white aura was created, and soon, snowdrops began to bloom around it.

“Snow plum blossoms… I thought I would never see them again before I died.”

[Snow plum (snow plum) herbivore, snow flower (snow flower)]

A strong and fast sword strike flew towards Kang Mu-won’s neck, scattering the plum blossoms.

Kang-!

The one who struck back with a strong blow slashed with a sword containing considerable magical power while exuding a thick murderous aura.

[Taecheonryu (太天流) 4 types, Cheon Geun Chu (天斤墜)]

[Plum Blossom Stream (梅花流) Type 8 Iron Plum Sword (鐵梅劍)]

Kwaaaaaaaang―!

I quickly guarded, but I was unable to overcome the force and was on the verge of being completely crushed.

[Artifact ‘Batori’s Cursed Doll (B-Grade) (1/1)’ activated.]

[Moves randomly 10M away.]

As the artifact was activated, I barely managed to avoid the attack and at the same time took out the ‘Silver Bullet’ from my gun holder and aimed it between the bastard’s eyes.

[6 Circle Darkness Magic, Reload Black]

Joo Woong-!

pop-!

A single black bullet escaped with a heavy gunshot sound, causing a chain reaction of explosions as it gradually approached Kang Mu-won.

pop-!

pop-!

Finally, with three explosions, Matan came right before Kang Mu-won’s eyes, and the fourth and final explosion was even bigger and more powerful.

Phew!

Kang Mu-won, who was pushed back by a loud explosion, appeared to have suffered considerable damage.

Perhaps because so many things happened in a split second, he looked quite flustered.

What that means is that this is an opportunity that will likely never come again for me.

[Snow Plum Stream 3, Snow Fire Moon]

The ‘hwa’ in the third type of plum blossom is both a flower (花) and a fire (火).

It is a flame where flowers and fire become one.

The three plum blossom dishes were spread out while containing this in the moon.

‘However, the three types of sorghum are completely different from those of plum blossoms.’

Snow (雪) and the moon (月) with negative energy, and fire (火) with positive energy between them.

If the three types of plum blossoms combine ‘hwa’ into one and contain it in the moon, then the three types of snow plums combine ‘snow’ and ‘moon’ into one and contain it in ‘fire’.

‘That’s why it’s more difficult. Unlike the plum blossom type, which is placed in the moon by neutralizing the fire with flowers, the snow plum type has to be placed in the fire, which is the opposite of the moon and snow, which already have strong yin energy.’

It was not for nothing that only those who make snow plum blossoms bloom could use the snow plum tree.

People who have not been able to bear the negative energy of this berry will not be able to bear it.

Phew!

A white aura of flame poured down on Kang Mu-won.

He held on while being covered in hardening material all over his body, and for the first time, he grimaced.

That means the current attack was that powerful.

When the flames finally died down, he fell to one knee, breathing heavily.

“I thought it was the Flower Guild… Lee Hyeon, the top student at Seoul National Magic School and known as the greatest genius of all time… with you.”

Kang Mu-won, whose whole body was covered in wounds, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up again.

It’s probably the limit.

It must have used quite a bit of magic during our first clash, and after that, it not only withstood my 8th circle magic, but also my attacks.

‘And with the attack just now, it’s a miracle you’re still standing.’

He was indeed a fierce general who was worthy of the title of Sword Master.

“Give up. Savior is finished.”

Kang Mu-won can’t beat me.

To begin with, he wasn’t in a condition to fight me.

Honestly, I thought it was amazing that they even did this much propaganda.

‘I don’t want to keep them alive considering what they did, but the information they have could be of great help in the future. So I’d like to keep them alive if possible… .’

He was the only person who knew the secrets of the imperial family.

Because he is a living witness to the old imperial empire.

So, his life had to be held on.

“That’s funny… .”

Kang Mu-won raised his head and aimed his sword at me again while releasing an explosive energy.

The reason why he, who didn’t even have the energy to get up, was able to muster up this much strength was simple.

‘You’re even draining my life force.’

He was risking everything.

Because there was something that had to be protected.

His actions naturally drew my gaze to the fainted Hye-yeon Lee.

‘The only bloodline of the Imperial Family of the Hwan Empire. To them, Yongson is something they cannot exchange for anything.’

Savior was an organization created by loyalists among the loyalists of the Salvation Army.

To them, the royal family was heaven, their reason for existence.

If you look at it negatively, you could say they were brainwashed, but if you look at it positively, it was their pride.

“Aesongi… I’ll ask you one thing. If I win, will you really spare Miss Hye-yeon’s life?”

“I swore by magic. Don’t ask me twice.”

Ah… that was written.

Kang Mu-won already had no intention of living.

That’s why I gave up too.

“I’m going to die.”

“The brave warriors of the Great Empire swear death for Yongson from the moment they are born. They are old enough to live. What is there to fear?”

The killing intent and magic, which had become much stronger than before, made my whole body tingle.

If we fight normally, this situation could lead to me getting hurt too.

Handing it over to the inspector might be a way, but for some reason I didn’t want to do that.

Because I wanted to cut off that bastard’s head myself.

‘This time, I’ll rely on you.’

[The mad gamer (??? level) starts to show a mad smile.]

I’ve said it over and over again, but I really don’t feel like using it.

I feel like I’m not being myself.

Although it was clear that both my ego and my mind were mine, this rising murderous impulse did not seem to be mine.

‘Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.’

This feeling that resonates from deep within my heart makes something boil inside me.

The more I tried to suppress and repress these emotions that were bursting out, the more they built up and formed something huge.

The moment when it finally explodes and pours out.

“kill.”

His eyes sparkled and a mad smile appeared on his lips.

“Darkness embraces me and leads me forward.

When the despair that calls for an end is right before our eyes.

A being will appear that will lead everything to destruction.

Ah, a world stained with darkness and blood will be created.

He stretched out his right hand, gathering his magical power as if he was possessed by someone’s voice that was ringing again.
