Chapter 104  : Guardian Hall (1)

"You’ve already heard it but there is only one chance to enter this place. I hope that you receive something good.”

Binhaim said as he guided Kang-jun to the entrance.

He could go no further than this.

Kang-jun was the one who would open the door.

Kukukung.

However, he didn’t have to worry about how to open the door. As Kang-jun moved closer, the massive doors opened on their own.

He couldn’t see what was inside.

Fortunately, the inside of the building became clear as soon as he entered.

There were nine doors!

There was nothing else but those doors.

Each door had the shape of a pair of wings carved on them:

Light; darkness; abundance; enchantment; fire; water; wind; earth; and chaos.

As Kang-jun walked a few steps, the doors with the Wings of Chaos opened by itself.

The remaining eight doors stayed firmly closed.

’Can I only go through that door?’

Kang-jun calmed his heart and entered.

Kuuong!

The door closed by itself and Kang-jun began searching around the room.

It was a huge room.

No, it couldn’t be called a room.

Surprisingly, the end of the room wasn’t visible.

That wasn’t all.

He looked back and the door was gone.

Of course, the back wall was gone as well.

‘This!’

Kang-jun was trapped in a huge, unknown space.

How would he leave later?

However, Kang-jun stopped speculating after looking around a little bit.

‘If I get something, the door will reappear.’

This was nothing compared to the various bizarre things that had emerged in Hwanmong.

Susususu.

He waited for a while and as expected, something flashed in the sky,

As they descended, they started to rotate like a satellite around Kang-jun.

Hundreds of swords, shields, staffs, bows, robes, books and more moved around Kang-jun.

’These are the treasures.’

They were relics left behind by commanders of Hwanmong.

It was clear the treasures were at least legend grade.

Kang-jun was excited as he thought of the weapon that would come to him.

However, strangely, none of the treasures moved toward Kang-jun.

Kang-jun wanted a long sword that was emitting an intense glow. However, it was useless.

It moved away as Kang-jun approached it.

‘I don’t think that sword has a connection to me.’

He had desired it because it seemed fairly powerful, but it wasn’t necessary if he didn’t have a connection to it.

‘Should I select something else?’

A crystal shield that emanated a mysterious light!

Everything moved away when he approached.

‘Damn!’

In the end, Kang-jun decided not to choose anymore.

If there was a relationship, they would come to him on their own.

However, all the treasures circling him flew up in the air and couldn’t be seen anymore.

None of them had reached out to Kang-jun.

Sususu.

At the same time, a person appeared in front of Kang-jun.

It was a man in his 40s with deep eyes and black hair. He was holding a long sword.

He ran toward Kang-jun and shouted briefly,

"Kill me if you want to become stronger."

A flash sprang from his sword when he finished talking.

Flash!

Kang-jun blocked the sword reflexively.

Kakakaang!

‘Ugh! U-unbelievable!’

Kang-jun was astonished.

An unidentified man had appeared and attacked him suddenly.

Since the treasures had disappeared and a battle started, this must be the training Rainkar mentioned.

Therefore, it was a situation where he should rejoice because he received the rare opportunity.

However, the attack that flew at him was none other than Heavenly Cut!

Only Kang-jun and his clone were able to use the skills of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.

How did it emerge from the sword of an unidentified man?

"Don’t hesitate. If you meet a strong opponent, your neck will have already flown away.”

With these blunt words, another flash was aimed at him.

Flash!

Kaaang!

Kang-jun blocked it with his sword. Then he rushed forward and stabbed the man’s chest.

Chwaack!

It was near the heart.

The man’s body then vanished into smoke.

A message surfaced at the same time.

[1,000 chaos power has been acquired.]

Surprisingly, he received chaos power. Rather than experience and nodes, it was chaos power!

It was also a huge 1,000 points!

‘Amazing.’

Sususu.

However, there was no time for this nice surprise as two people showed up and rushed toward Kang-jun.

“The power of the Heaven’s Blood Sword is invincible.

"I will let you taste this sword.”

Both of them shouted and aimed Heavenly Cut at Kang-jun.

Kaaang!Kakang!

Kang-jun’s sword moved sharply and blocked the two flashes.

At the same time, he turned and swung his sword.

Seokeok!Chwaack!

He cut the throat of one person and stabbed the other one in the heart.

Sususu.

They were gone in a puff of smoke.

[1,000 chaos power has been acquired.]

[1,000 chaos power has been acquired.]

‘Is this a type of training?’

A smile formed on Kang-jun’s face. If nothing else, he was satisfied with receiving chaos power from the training.

It was because the chaos power in his wings were filling up rapidly.

Sususu.

Meanwhile, more people appeared.

There were three people.

One of them said,

"Survive. The longer you survive, the more you will gain.”

They moved forward while speaking.

This time, it wasn’t a skill but the movements of Heaven’s Blood Sword Style.

When Kang-jun level increased, it was accompanied by a rise in Heaven’s Blood Sword Style!

It consisted of more than 100 movements.

If he had to learn everything from the basics, he didn’t know how much time it would take.

Fortunately, a new movement entered his mind every time the level rose.

It didn’t just enter his mind but was drilled into his body like he had been a practitioner for a long time.

If the power was exerted properly, it would deal very strong damage even if he didn’t use a skill.

Hwiririk!Papak!

Kang-jun’s sword cut into the three bodies in succession.

Chwack!Chwaack!Seokeok!

Their bodies scattered into smoke.

He gained 3,000 points in chaos power, then another four men showed up.

However, there was a gap in their skills, so the numbers weren’t meaningful to Kang-jun.

Since then, he didn’t know how many he had killed.

A sudden message appeared.

[The wing’ chaos power is full.]

[Do you want to strengthen it to the next stage?]

[Yes/No]

Kang-jun read the message while fighting.

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 5: 32000/32000

Should he strengthen?

If that failed, he would lose 32,000 points of chaos power.

However, he had stopped receiving chaos power every time he killed a person.

It was because the wings couldn’t accommodate any more chaos power.

Therefore, it was better to strengthen it even if it failed.

‘Yes! Strengthen.’

Just like Stage 4, Stage 5 was even more difficult.

Everyone had said it was natural to fail dozens of times.

Heksia failed 36 times and even though Kang-jun gave her the heart, she was still hesitating.

‘Don’t think of failure.’

Of course, Kang-jun expected that he would fail.

Then.

Hwaaack!

Kang-jun’s wings suddenly shone brilliantly.

At the same time, the men running towards Kang-jun disappeared.

[The Wings of Chaos have been strengthened to Stage 5.]

[Your damage has greatly increased.]

[Health has risen by 3,000 points.]

[Black magic energy has risen by 3,000 points.]

’T-this!’

Kang-jun thought he saw wrongly.

However, there was no doubt.

The Wings of Chaos had been strengthened to Stage 5.

It had really succeeded at once?

He had failed twice in Stage 4, so he had been prepared for more failures for Stage 5.

"Wuhahaha! Amazing!”

Anyway, the important thing was that he succeeded.

His damage increased significantly and his health and black magic energy rose by 3,000 points each.

That wasn’t all.

[You have awakened the Will of Attack.]

[Once your health drops below 50%, all attacks will contain a chaos power and this will greatly increase your damage.]

[It is possible to use Will of Attack when Will to Fight is activated.]

It was a skill that would automatically increase his attack power once his health dropped below half.

In particular, if he used Will to Fight, the enemy’s defense would be zero.

‘This is great.’

If he became stronger as his health decreased, he could deal great damage to the enemy.

Wings of Chaos (Stage 5)

-Rating: Myth

-Wings with a chaotic will.

-Free flight is possible.

-Health +8000, Black Magic Energy +8000.

-As the stage rises, attack power will increase significantly.

-Resistance to all properties will greatly increase.

-Will of Survival will activate automatically when health drops below 30%.

-You can summon a clone.

-Can use Will of Attack.

-Will of Attack will activate automatically when health drops below 50%.

-Starting from Stage 2, a unique skill will be gained at every stage.

-From Stage 4, the probability of failure will rise.

-Chaos power needed to upgrade to Stage 6: 0/256000

The chaos power needed for the next stage was 256,000.

Stage 6 was automatically a wall!

If he traded moonstones for essences, he would need more than 17,000 moonstones.

How would he feel if he collected all that chaos power only to fail?

‘I really wouldn’t want to live.

He suddenly wondered about Rainkar’s wing level.

Had the strongest person in Earth Hwanmong succeeded in reaching Stage 6?

He would ask again if there was a chance later on.

Anyway, he was glad that his wings had strengthened.

‘My health is really amazing.

After reaching Stage 5, his health and black magic had grown!

Health: 9470/9470

Black Magic Energy: 9020/9020

As a result, both surpassed 9,000 points.

He didn’t level up but they were recovered to their maximum.

It was the power of strengthening the wings.

Particularly, his health was nearly 1,000, so he felt an unlimited vitality.

A mighty stamina!

It felt like he didn’t need to sleep for a few months.

Susususu.

However, now wasn’t the time to cheer.

In the meantime, one person appeared again.

He had the same clothing and appearance as before, but the power coming from him was completely different.

"Survive. If you survive, you will gain a lot. "

Once again, he said to survive no matter what.

At the same time, an attack!

Flash!Flash!Flash!

Three flashes flew in different directions.

’What is this?’

The flashes were clearly Heavenly Cut, but there were three of them and they were flying in different directions.

‘Something like this was possible?’

However, he didn’t have time to question it as he had to stop the attack.

Kakang!Kakang!

Kang-jun moved his sword and blocked all of them.

Then the man approached and used Heavenly Unyielding Slash.

Flash!Flash!Paaaah papapa!

He pushed out two Heavenly Unyielding Slash at once.

One towards the waist.

One towards the legs.

The two parallel waves aimed at Kang-jun’s waist and legs.
