Absolute Regression Chapter 490

490
“Show me, sir.”

If Whi had been excited, I would have stopped him, but he was calm as usual. This fight was not an impromptu or emotional one.

It was a stern warning to Salsu from a loyal man who had lived his entire life as a bodyguard, and an inevitable clash between two opposing destinies.

“Show them that the only place they will go is hell, sir.”

The moment the sword dance ended, Hwi leapt forward without hesitation.

A whirlwind of energy rushing towards the enemy.

It was a new side of him, who was always seen blocking his opponent’s attacks.

Salwang also did not dodge and swung his dagger in response. His two eyes became more transparent, and an unknown emotion was embedded in that transparency.

I couldn’t tell what it was, but I could feel at least one thing for sure.

He was acknowledging his opponent.

Kaang!

The clear, metallic sound of swords clashing with knives signaling the start of a fight.

Both of them are unseen people in the world.

They are people who move secretly to achieve their goals. This fight was a fight between two such people.

Hui’s swordsmanship is a peerless martial art that has been passed down to those in charge of Cheonma’s escort.

Demon Spirit Guardian Sword Technique.

The Demon Guardian Sword Technique was based on the Quick Sword Technique. Due to the nature of the escort drones, they had to react quickly. The first move the escort drones received was always a surprise attack.

On the other hand, the martial arts that King Sal learned are the unique martial arts of the Death Spirit Emperor, who was the King of Salsu three hundred years ago.

Assassination technique.

He was learning a martial art known as a legend in the world of assassination.

Hwi roughly pushed Salwang away.

Today, I first learned that he, who usually seemed calm, had such a rough side. Today, Hwi seemed like a reckless fighter who never backed down.

The sword and the dagger clashed in the air, sending out sparks.

The art of assassination is also a martial art based on pleasure.

That’s why the clash between the two was so fast that it was almost invisible to the eye. Their attacks and attacks would soon lead to death if they let their guard down.

Choaak.

The sword created by Hui drew a semicircle and tried to cut down the king.

Kaang!

The King of Sal, who had blocked the attack, swung his daggers in succession. The three slashes he made in an instant were truly aimed only at the opponent’s vital points.

Hui’s new form, which had blocked the attack with a sword, leaped into the air and stabbed King Sal repeatedly from above and below.

Salwang dodged the attack by sliding backwards. He also used a great technique befitting the martial arts he was displaying.

A murderer who persistently seeks one’s life.

Hui, trying to cut off the body of the murderous king.

The sword and dagger, filled with the master’s killing intent, met and produced the sound of a fast-paced musical instrument.

Chaeng! Chaeng chaeng! Chae chae chae chaeng!

Sparks flew every time. The two’s attacks were so fast that sparks flew everywhere like firecrackers exploding.

A fast-paced feast of defensive swordplay and assassination techniques.

They brushed past their opponents, jumped over them, entered and retreated, collided and fell. Their bodies moved as fast as the swords and knives. Blood spurted as the blades grazed each other’s skin.

Hui was displaying flashy and cool martial arts skills to the point that it made you wonder how he could have lived quietly with those skills.

Salwang was pushed back by Hwi’s rough momentum.

It felt like Hui’s martial arts, which had never attacked first in his entire life, was saying this.

-We just didn’t kill them.

A look of confusion crossed Salwang’s face. He knew his opponent was strong, but he didn’t know he would be this strong.

Myeongsin, who was watching the scene, realized that it was entirely thanks to Hui that he had survived the King Sal.

Because Whi is such a strong person.

The king who sensed it did not act rashly.

But King Sal was no ordinary man.

Because I was blocking all of these great attacks.

It was truly a close match.

Although he was confident and hopeful that Hwi would win, Geommugeuk was nervous inside.

‘mister!’

If the enemy hadn’t been King Sal, I wouldn’t have been this nervous.

Since it’s Hwi’s fight, shouldn’t we leave it to him until the end?

You’re absolutely right. If there’s even the slightest danger, Hui will intervene immediately.

Even if I hear resentment from Hui later, I will jump in without a single moment of hesitation.

Whi and Salwang.

In the first place, the lives of Hwi and Salwang were not comparable. Even if there were a thousand Salwangs, or even all the Sals in the Central Plains, I would not trade Hwi for them.

Suddenly, my father’s words came to mind.

‘If you’re going to put Whi first, you’re responsible.’

This moment was really pushing Whi forward.

‘I will take responsibility, Father.’

It was just then.

Shhh!

Someone made a surprise attack from behind the sword dance.

Chae-Ang!

Geommugeuk, who had blocked the ambush by turning around and swinging his sword, made a shushing motion to his opponent.

“Wait a minute! This is a crucial moment.”

Geommugeuk turned his head towards the direction where Hwi and Salwang were fighting again.

It was indeed a tense moment in the fight between Hwi and Salwang.

Something burst out of the king’s hand.

Papapak!

The needle was ejected from a small cylinder the size of a finger hidden in the left hand.

Chaeng chaeng chaeng!

He flew up, striking the flying dark energy with his sword. He expected that this surprise attack would be connected to the next attack, so he flew up and attacked first. He replaced defense with offense.

Papapapak!

Despite the unexpected counterattack, King Sal did not panic and dodged the attack.

Hui was preparing for the surprise attack of King Sal.

He thought it was rather strange that Salsu was engaging in such a head-on confrontation, and he was fighting.

After Hui safely survived the surprise attack, Geommugeuk looked at the assassin behind him.

The sword of the sword dance was already embedded in his heart. There was no way that he, who could live, could just sit still just because the sword dance was shushing him.

Just as he was about to attack again, Geommugeuk stabbed him in the heart without looking back, killing him.

The swordsman turned his head and looked at the street. People were peeking out here and there, watching the fight. Many of them were probably assassins who were just waiting for an opportunity.

Geommugeuk said to Myeongsin.

“Okay, let’s go too!”

The idea was to eliminate all the assassins. It was better to eliminate them as soon as possible, since there was no way to know how they would intervene in the fight between the two.

Of course, even in the midst of all this, Geommugeuk’s attention was focused on Hui’s fight.

On the surface, it seemed like he was only looking at this side, but he was paying attention to both sides, and he was displaying the divine power that only a true master can have.

“Okay.”

Myeongsin couldn’t believe it. The fact that he was on the same side as the leader of the Demonic Cult and was fighting against the King of Death. It was a life he couldn’t have imagined even a few days ago.

‘Yes, I must carry out the task I have entrusted to you.’

Two people walked briskly down the street.

It was definitely a murder, but there was someone who acted as a bystander.

But that was a foolish choice that underestimated Myeongsin’s memory.

Shhh shhh shhh!

I dodged the daggers of the famous god that flew in succession.

Phew!

He couldn’t dodge the sword of the swordsman who followed.

“Choose them all!”

Myungsin nodded. It was a nod indicating his break with the Underworld and, by extension, all of the assassination organizations.

At that moment, something poured down from this building.

Rrrrrrrrr.

What poured down on the street were star-shaped weapons.

The place where it fell to the ground had a sharp blade sticking out.

It wasn’t a weapon that could kill an opponent by hitting them, but a weapon that was meant to slow their movements by laying them on the ground. If you step on that sharp thing, you’ll be instantly poisoned.

But this secret wasn’t that kind of secret.

“Be careful when you walk!”

Myeongsin shouted at the warning of Geommugeuk.

“Be careful now!”

The moment Myeongsin’s shout ended, the dark weapons that had fallen to the ground were fired as if they were exploding.

Pak pak pak pak pak pak pak pak!

The blades exploded and flew in all directions.

When you see a weapon like this, you are usually careful not to step on it, but this was an attack that targeted the point where you would never expect it to be launched.

It wasn’t an unavoidable swordplay, even though there was a warning.

“You made this too, didn’t you?”

“I’m sorry, but that’s true.”

“Please use this technique for me later!”

“If I survive here.”

Then, Geommugeuk flew up and said.

“We will definitely survive!”

The sword dance flew to this floor. It was the exact place where the dark energy had just been spread.

Crunchy.

The sword dance flew into the room, breaking the window.

Shhh!

The dagger of the assassin waiting by the window passed by Geommugeuk’s face.

It must have been a very regrettable moment for Salsu, but Geommugeuk already felt his presence at that very moment when he broke the window and entered.

The moment he killed him, a dark spirit flew from under the bed, aiming for Geommugeuk’s ankle. This was also an ambush that could not be easily avoided.

Pok! Pok!

Already, Geommu-geuk was standing on the bed and thrusting his sword into the bed.

That wasn’t the only attack designed in this room.

The closet burst open and the water blitz continued.

Shhh shhh shhh shhh!

What he held in his hand was a very small crossbow. It was a crossbow that could fire continuously, and it was very powerful.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

There were holes all over the wall where the sword dance had been standing.

But at the same time, Salsu fell backwards. A dagger was stuck in his forehead. It was the dagger that Myungsin had given him as a gift.

When I looked out the window again, two assassins were attacking Myeongsin.

An attack aimed at the moment when the Sword Dancer briefly flew up to this floor.

They were no ordinary killers.

Special assassins hiding here and there among the first-class assassins.

It was Heukyeongsangsal who was disguised as the owner and clerk of a lumber store.

They attacked Myeongsin with their swords from the left and right. They were the owner and the clerk, and since the opponent was Myeongsin anyway, camouflage was meaningless. They had to eliminate Myeongsin as soon as possible so that their camouflage would be effective.

A bloody battle with two special assassins.

Even though he was a famous person with an injured arm, he was showing that his spot in the underworld was not won by flipping a coin.

The figures of Hwi and Salwang fighting on the roof were nowhere to be seen. The sound of them fighting could be heard from beyond the building.

The new form of the sword dance crossed the air. The place he was headed was neither where Hwi was fighting nor where Myeongsin was fighting. He found someone aiming at Myeongsin from the window of another building.

He was the special assassin of Salcheon.

As the dark energy rushed towards him, it was fired towards Geommugeuk, which was aimed at Myeongsin.

Chararararang!

The dark weapon that flew in with a sharp wind sound was the poisonous dark weapon used by the Salcheon organization.

Numbness and tingling sensation.

The absolute most powerful weapon with the highest kill rate.

The flying dark dragon had the terrifying power to tear apart the flesh and bones of a human being with just a passing glance. However, the true identity of this dark dragon was not there.

Crunch!

The moment when Geommu-geuk cuts down the dark energy that flew in with his sword.

pop!

A paralytic substance burst out from the severed armpit. It was not poison, but a drug that temporarily disabled the use of muscles.

The flying sword dance fell down.

Instead, karma burst out of the window. This brief moment of paralysis of the opponent was exactly the moment he was aiming for.

Love liquid!

At that moment, as the momentum of the falling karma was about to cut the head of the frozen sword master in two.

Swish! Crunch!

The black magic sword of the sword dance was pulled out in an instant and cut off his neck.

Karma died with his eyes wide open and an expression of incomprehension.

It’s never not worked until now?

However, even Mabisan didn’t work on Geommugeuk. Since Uphwa had never experienced something like this before, he, a special assassin, was defeated in a single move.

Geommugeuk looked back and swung his dagger.

Shhh shhh!

The three daggers flew towards one of the Black Shadow Twins.

His opponent turned around and swung his dagger, but it was enough to break the tension in the fight.

Phew!

Without missing the opportunity, Myeongsin stabbed his opponent’s arm and thigh repeatedly, and the tense fight tilted as one person was injured.

“So, please make me lots of presents in the future! You can come back when you need them.”

And in the midst of all this, you’re joking?

Myeongsin wanted to say something in response, but he didn’t have the time.

After taking care of one, the new form of the Sword Dance Theater landed on the roof of the building across from him, leaving him to fight the remaining Black Shadow Twins.

Hwi and Salwang were fighting in the empty lot behind.

The sword and the dagger were clashing so fiercely that they could not even be seen.

The swordplay didn’t look at the weapons, but at their eyes.

‘You can win.’

Hwi’s strength was solid. It was like a huge castle wall that would not collapse no matter what wind. Perhaps Salwang felt it even more realistically.

The King of Sal blasted all of his dark energy at once to create distance.

At that very moment!

The King of Sal’s dagger glowed white.

‘It’s dangerous!’

I could tell he was going to use a big knife.

At the moment when the sword dance was about to begin, I saw Hwi’s face. His expression was calm and composed, not at all nervous.

A silver light emanated from the tip of the King of Death’s dagger.

Next moment!

Swaaaaaaahh …

Dozens of silvery blasts poured down toward Hui.

Flying sword and light rain.

One of the secret techniques of assassination.

Hui’s sword began to embroider the air against the silvery stream pouring down like rain, or rather, like light.

Chachachachachachachacha!

I saw the sword dance. Sword lines drawn quickly in front of Hwi. If you were to quickly watch a spider build a web, would that be what it would look like? Sword lines created in an instant.

The ultimate form of the Demon Guardian Sword Technique, which contains the will to block any attack.

Guardian Sword Wall.

It was my first time seeing a sword dance. The sword wall that Hwi had created.

Boom! Kwaang! Boom bang bang! Boom bang!

The steel and the sword collided. The silvery lights shattered into a halo and scattered. The King of Sal’s attack was blocked.

King Sal was genuinely surprised, as he had not expected that the Bigeom Gwangwoo would be stopped.

“The Demon Lord’s Escort.”

And I was truly amazed.

“It’s better than rumors.”

Hui stood there silently, his sword hanging down.

It was just then.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish!

A dozen or so assassins fell on either side of the King of Sal. Just looking at their movements, you can tell that they were not ordinary assassins.

The King of Sal rushed towards Hwi with his assassins, as if his only goal was to kill his opponent.

It was a close fight even with King Salwang.

But Hui did not get scared or avoid it. In times like these, the escort drone must remain even more calm.

Hwi thought that there was a leader behind him. He thought that there was a sub-leader behind him. If so, he would be able to exert two or three times the strength.

“To hell with water!”

He repeated what Geommu-geuk had said at the beginning of the fight. The words coming out of Hwi’s mouth had a different weight.

Hwi held his sword firmly and ran forward. He did not back down. Behind him was the leader, the sub-leader, and the pride of being the person in charge of guarding the Cheonmasin Church.

Just then, the voice of the swordsman is heard from behind.

“Don’t be lonely, mister! We have our side here!”

The next moment.

Ss …

The assassins running towards Hwi were shocked.

Something spread out on both sides of Hwi, who was running towards them.

That’s what made their eyes widen!

They were scary looking demons.

The sword dance performed the Great Destruction of the Nine Fire Demons.

Except for the demon in the position where Whi was, the rest of the demons split apart and spread out like wings on either side of Whi.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The demons rushed forward with the wind.
