Blood Demon of the Past Life – Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Revolution （4）

Kang San existed in a certain boundary.

His body was stained with darkness and faced the undead, but their faces were the people who existed in Seo Mun-ho’s memories.

“Die━!”

“The enemy who killed my family!”

People rushed at him, consumed by malice.

It was a suicidal attack.

The people filling his vision revealed their intense will to leave even a single wound on their opponent, even if it meant burning themselves to death. It didn’t matter. Kang San didn’t even blink, and he dug into the space teeming with murderous intent.

Papapat.

Attacks grazed past him.

Finding the only path to life within the tangled threads of murderous intent, blood spurted out every time his sword flashed.

Flash.

Puhahahaak!

Blood poured down like rain.

His drenched hair swayed red, but Kang San was solely focused on the thought of killing every living being in this place. The day the Hebei Peng family collapsed. Peng Mujeong abandoned his reputation, the prestige of the Five Great Clans, everything, and ran away. No matter how much the Murim Alliance Leader had died at his hands, it was an act that should not have been done as a member of the Righteous Murim.

He hid himself well.

There was no way to find out where he went.

In the end, Kang San hoped that the entire Murim would drag Peng Mujeong out and bring him before him.

Slice!

“Kuagh!”

He stabbed the heart.

He carelessly cut out the heart, which was vomiting blood, and strode forward. He brutally suppressed the movements of the struggling person. Even if a living being is prepared for death, when the moment actually arrives, it tends to reveal human weakness.

Thud━

He blew the head off.

There were still many enemies.

There was a simple way to find Peng Mujeong, but the guys who were rushing in for revenge looked foolish.

“I’ll kill you all.”

Papak.

Papapapapak━!

It was an indiscriminate massacre.

He didn’t discriminate between adults, children, or the elderly, and he replenished his stamina by sucking blood even in the ongoing battle. His master had said. The moment you are consumed by murderous intent, you will cross a river of no return, but instead, you can exist as an evil spirit. Those words were true. He wasn’t tired. When he looked at the screaming and collapsing figures, an infinite power surged from somewhere, allowing him to move until the very end.

He killed.

He killed and killed again.

It was a wave that didn’t end even after cutting and cutting again, and even when facing a giant wave, Kang San did not retreat.

It was then.

Something came into Kang San’s view.

‘…Peng Mujeong.’

Beyond the swarming people.

Beyond the swarming undead.

He saw a flicker of magical power.

The moment he recognized it as Peng Mujeong, he kicked off the ground and quickly cleared a path.

“Blood Demon Sword Technique, Third Style: Explosive Kill.”

Kwaang━!

Kwarurururururung.

He swept away the enemies.

Humans were helplessly defeated, and he didn’t care about the wounds that were torn and cut all over their bodies. The wounds quickly recovered with the death of the opponent. Even when he was hit by an attack that tore him apart enough to reveal his insides, the moment he stabbed the opponent’s heart with his sword, his skin regenerated with a tingling sensation. He moved forward. Anyway, he was going to die after all this fighting was over. He had killed hundreds, thousands of people, and corpses piled up behind Kang San.

And finally.

Flash.

Kwaang━!

“There you were.”

He attacked Peng Mujeong.

To be precise, he attacked Troy Baker, whose face was stained with shock.

At that moment.

Clang━!

The boundary of illusion crumbled, and the truth was revealed to Kang San’s eyes.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

Troy Baker.

He, who had awakened long ago enough to be called a 1st generation and founded Revolution, had prepared for the day he would meet a ‘monster’ equal to himself. That magic was Dark Shift. He had meticulously gathered the undead he had killed in the pitch-black darkness. It was an endless h*ll, and he was convinced that no one in the world could endure it.

But now.

A horrifying sight unfolded.

Kang San had slaughtered all the undead and had finally figured out where he was hiding.

“…How?”

He couldn’t understand.

Kang San’s power.

It wasn’t of this world.

The bloodshot eyes seemed to have returned to some extent, but the fact that Troy Baker’s location had been discovered remained unchanged.

“Undead, stop him━!”

Kyaak!

Kreurururuk.

The undead rushed in.

Kang San felt like his memory was intermittently cut off, but he wasn’t the type to panic and miss an opportunity.

“Berserker━.”

He used the skill. All of his stamina was consumed except for 1%.

『Guardian’s Will has been activated.』

『All health is restored, and defense is temporarily increased by 5 times.』

It was full power.

With a thrill rising from the tips of his toes, Kang San knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be the end.

“Blood Demon Sword Technique, First Style: Blade Kill!”

Whoosh.

“Black Hole.”

Kwarururururung.

The attack was sucked in.

Troy Baker spread his palms right in front of him and emitted magical power that shimmered with darkness.

“Burst.”

The absorbed attack.

It was ejected as it was.

As soon as he confirmed the sight of Kang San being swept away, he spread both hands and raised magical power.

“Dark Pressure.”

Kwakwakwakwak!

Darkness surged in.

It pressed down on Kang San, preventing him from approaching any further.

Bang Bang━ A tremendous explosion occurred.

The Blood Demon Sword Technique, First Style, with its attack power increased to the extreme, tore Kang San apart in reverse, and the pressure boiling with darkness made it hard to breathe. It was a combination attack that should have brought down any ordinary person. Troy Baker had dealt with countless humans, and among them were many who had made a name for themselves as Tankers.

Kang San was different.

Whoosh━

“…?!”

He broke through.

To be precise, even though his body was being torn apart like a worn-out shoe, he didn’t stop his charge.

Before being consumed by murderous intent.

After being consumed by murderous intent.

It was impossible to tell which was Kang San’s true form.

But both had the same intense obsession, and the moment Dark Shift was pierced, Troy Baker sensed the end.

“You…”

“It’s over now.”

Flash.

Puk!

Blood spurted from his chest.

With a strong impact, Troy Baker stumbled and fell to his knees.

Thud.

“You were a monster.”

✦✦✦✦✦✦

His mind was hazy.

Troy Baker, bleeding profusely, looked up at Kang San.

“…What are you, what kind of being are you?”

He hadn’t expected it.

The Sun Priest.

Or, that guy.

He had thought that no one could stop him except those two.

Dark Shift was a magic that he had created by sacrificing everything he had, and Kang San clearly seemed to be struggling in the beginning. That’s why it was hard to accept this situation. For the past few decades, Troy Baker had built up his power and founded Revolution, enduring all sorts of hardships for this very moment.

The goal was in sight.

Now that a large-scale Link was occurring, he judged that his plan to seize the nuclear weapons facilities was perfect.

The variable called Kang San.

Until he faced him.

“Keuk, keukkeuk. It’s over. I thought it was perfect this time, but in the end, I wasn’t the biggest beneficiary.”

“Beneficiary? What do you mean by that?”

Kang San looked down with a tired face.

His face was pale, but he pointed his sword, ready to finish his opponent at any moment.

His head was dizzy.

He had only moved instinctively in response to the continuous onslaught of situations, and his churning stomach wanted to throw up everything.

Troy Baker looked up with his long hair hanging down.

“It’s an obvious truth. Since I haven’t contributed the most to the destruction, I’ll have to spend an indefinite amount of time, not knowing when the opportunity will come again. But next time, it won’t end like this. Even though I failed this time, in the future, I will definitely succeed and save my world.”

Swish.

“Kill me.”

He stuck his neck out.

He gave up on life.

Kang San couldn’t kill him like this.

He had to confirm at least the minimum truth.

“Was Luca Bellino telling the truth? Are you guys really trying to destroy this world for a chance at salvation…?”

“What?”

He cut him off.

Troy Baker, who had momentarily opened his eyes wide, showed a horribly distorted expression.

“What did you just say? Luca Bellino?!”

✦✦✦✦✦✦

The reason he mentioned Luca Bellino.

It was to confirm the truth.

He wanted to confirm the truth that Azmoon had ordered the destruction of this world and that they would get a chance at revival in return.

But his current reaction.

It was unexpected.

Contrary to the expectation that he would tell the truth, Troy Baker showed intense hostility.

“Luca Bellino, what did that b*tch say?”

“Do you know Luca Bellino?”

“Of course, I know her too well. Tell me. What did that b*tch say to you? By my standards, if you and Luca Bellino are connected, this current situation makes even less sense.”

He was in a dilemma.

Whether to tell the truth or not.

But whether it was Roman Bednar, Luca Bellino, or Troy Baker.

He knew that he had to collect all the stories, even if they told slightly different things, in order to reach the truth.

“Luca Bellino revealed herself to be God’s agent. Apparently, the God Azmoon, who ordered you and the Sun God Church to destroy this world, gave her the opposite mission to nurture me and save this world. That’s why. The reason I’m standing in front of you now. I remember my past life, and I clearly recognize Azmoon’s existence, but I don’t agree with the intention to destroy this world.”

“…Luca Bellino, that b*tch said that?”

His face was filled with disgust.

It wasn’t a lie.

Seeing his cells react instinctively, Kang San’s heart started pounding.

Troy Baker clutched his face as if in pain.

“Yeah, that’s right. You’re not wrong. Azmoon offered us a deal, and we’re just struggling to save the world that’s been destroyed. But the truth you know is incomplete.”

Swish.

Their eyes met.

His eyes, shimmering with madness, had given up on any lingering attachment to life.

“I’ll show you. The moment I experienced, back then.”

Whoosh━

Magical power flared brightly.

The world was distorted, and a new scene unfolded before his eyes.

✦✦✦✦✦✦

Crack!

“Kuaaaaagh!”

He let out a terrible scream.

It was because the Werewolf’s powerful teeth had bitten into his shoulder and ripped off a chunk of flesh.

“Pant, pant.”

‘Is this the end?’

He was out of breath.

His body had long since stopped moving as he wished, and his trembling hands didn’t even allow him the strength to grip his sword. Troy Baker glanced around. His comrades were already all dead. He had taken up a sword in this damned world, dreaming of somehow becoming stronger and surviving, but in the end, it was a shitty reality.

“Groan.”

“Samuel? Are you still alive?”

The bald man.

He groaned as he lay on the ground.

But he couldn’t move.

The Werewolf was watching him, and Samuel Pahlsson was barely clinging to life, but it didn’t help the situation. In fact, this raid was something he had forced. Samuel Pahlsson had said it was too dangerous at this point, but Troy Baker, who wanted to become stronger as soon as possible, judged that it was necessary to take the risk.

Was it because of guilt?

He wanted to save Samuel Pahlsson, who was still alive.

Kreururuk.

The monster in front of him.

He would definitely defeat it.

Troy Baker gripped his sword tightly and inwardly vowed to return alive with Samuel Pahlsson.

His heart pounded.

His mouth was parched.

It was then.

Kyaak!

The Werewolf charged.

The moment his shaking eyes tried to react to the opponent’s movement.

Whoosh━

The world turned gray.

The sound of clicking heels could be heard, and then a surreal sight unfolded before his eyes.

It was a seductive woman.

She looked at Troy Baker and smiled sweetly.

“Troy Baker. As God’s agent, I’ll offer you a deal.”

Swish.

She looked around.

She sat on the corpse of his dead comrade and looked up at Troy Baker, who was frozen with his legs seductively crossed.

“Destroy this world. Then, I’ll give you a chance to go back to the beginning. To the starting point where this absurd disaster began, the point where everyone regrets and wants to go back to.”
