Humanity Itself is Strong - Chapter 47

Clang!

Jin-seong destroyed the Onyx Blade with his Tyrfing.

“Wait, why are you destroying the sword….?”

The magic swordsman lifted his head and wondered.

Suddenly,

Kyaeek!

The jingjo of corruption sealed in the Onyx Blade began to crawl out. Jin-seong stabbed them with Tyrfing.

Chrrrrr……!

The jingjo of corruption were getting sucked into Tyrfing like water draining into the hole. They scratched the ground to escape but they couldn’t resist Tyrfing’s power.

It was when the blade finished sucking in all the jingjo.

Kgggg…. Kggggg!

The blade of the magic sword, which was shining in cold purple, began making a bizarre sound of ripping iron.

A warning sound was heard.

Beep!

[Tyrfing absorbed all the twelve jingjo and Lust for Gluttony.] [Upgraded to ‘Jinjo of Corruption’ power of greed, ‘Glotoneria’!]

The terrifying power of the demon king, which absorbs and neutralizes any attack, now resides in the magic sword Tyrfing. If Park Moo-hae, the priest of greed, absorbed the jingjo of corruption, the formidable power that would have been manifested was ‘Glutoneria’.

‘I can use this only once.’

The companions stepped backward because of Tyrfing’s terrifying energy.

“Keuk….? Professor Lee, what are you doing….?!”

Setz trembled as she saw the manifestation of cursed power. The magic swordsman, who was lying on the ground, also became terrified at the sight.

“What the fuck! Lee Jin-seong! What are you trying to do?!”

“Get away everyone. I can’t protect you from being eaten by Tyrfing.

Kigigik…..!

Suddenly, the ruby embedded in the guard began to emit red light.

[Magic sword Tyrfing is losing its control because of power Glutoneria! The magic sword is changing!]

With that warning,

Pzzzzz…!

Countless cracks appeared on the blade with light.

Boom!

And it exploded.

The blade broke into pieces because of the magic power explosion.

But those pieces didn’t scatter in the air.

“What is that….?”

The magic swordsman had no choice but to look at what’s happening in a daze. The blade, which he thought would scatter in the air, formed a gigantic greatsword filled with black ether between the pieces. It was Tyrfing’s second figure.

“…..That’s something even I’ve never seen before….”

The magic swordsman with only his head lifted, spoke.

“…….”

Jin-seong began to think.

‘Yushin defeated the demon king with the awakened figure of Tyrfing.’

The fragmented blade expanded into a greatsword shape by materialized energy.

Beep!

Another warning sound was heard.

[Tyrfing is unable to hold back its power! It’s eager to consume anything available!]

Jin-seong lifted his sword high without further ado.

A tremendous magi was coming out from the greatsword like a storm.

“Eat them.”

Jin-seong struck his sword.

Chugagak!

The sword sliced the heart as if it was slicing soft tofu.

Then,

Boom!

The blade, which had been put in halfway, exploded.

Due to the shock from the black magi explosion, the heart of corruption was largely divided in half. Then, the fragments of the blade penetrated and started covering the heart along with the explosion.

Krrk! Krrk! Krrrrk!

While that was happening, Jin-seong could feel his arms and shoulder breaking.

‘The resistance is strong.’

But it didn’t last for long.

The black energy that covered the heart changed its shape that resembled teeth.

Kwajik! Kwajijik!

The teeth began to bite and eat the heart of corruption all over the place. The gluttonous teeth were far exceeding the recovery rate of the heart. The heart of corruption had to be eaten helplessly.

At the sight, Setz murmured in a daze.

“No way…. Is he killing the Lord of Corruption… with the power of the demon king?”

Kyaeeee…..!

The heart of the lord eventually got sucked into the teeth.

Kzz, kzzz, kzzz…!

Tyrfing’s energy finally ate up the entire heart. That red egg sac-like heart disappeared without leaving any trace by the fierce Glutoneria.

[You used up almost all the demon king’s power, Glutoneria! Tyrfing returns to its original figure.] [The power of gluttony is deactivated until additional energy from the demon king is absorbed.]

Since Lust for Gluttony is a power derived from the demon king, the power decreases as one uses it. So the power is unusable unless one receives the power from the demon king.

Kddk, kddk, kddk…!

The scattered black etheric energy began to return to its original purple color, pulling the shattered sword fragments together.

Chzz, chzz, chzzz…!

When the sword fragments began to be pulled together, smoke was coming out between the cracks.

Chulkuk!

Jin-seong staggered as he pushed his sword against the ground for balance.

Indescribable exhaustion and pain hit him.

‘……How did Yushin endure this?’

He thought of Yushin who wielded the awakened Tyrfing countless times. ‘I need to train more. I can’t defeat even one lord with my current level.’

Jin-seong, who was completely exhausted, kneeled on the ground.

Seeing that, Kang Min-ah came to him for help.

“Are you okay??”

“…..Everything’s done now. The Lord of Corruption has been killed.”

Jin-seong declared.

As if proving what he said, the tumors that spread all over the lord’s dead body were no longer moving.

“…..Professor Lee.”

Setz, who was watching Jin-seong standing with Kang Min-ah’s help, lowered her head.

“Thank you very much.”

“……”

Jin-seong walked up to Setz without Min-ah’s help.

“…..Professor.”

“……”

“Please don’t do that.”

“……”

Setz lifted her head to see Jin-seong. He lowered his head.

“You don’t need to do that to me.”

“….What?”

“Please.”

“Ah…..”

Setz wanted to ask him why but it wasn’t the right time to ask that. She nodded her head.

Then, Jin-seong walked up to the magic swordsman who was lying on the ground.

The magic swordsman looked up at Jin-seong silently.

“…..”

Jin-seong who was looking down at the magic swordsman aimed his sword at him.

Srrng…!

“Jin-seong!”

“Professor Lee!”

Seeing that, MIn-ah and Setz were surprised.

But Jin-seong began to grill him.

“Reveal yourself now.”

“…..What do you mean?”

“It’s all done. So stop deceiving us.”

When the magic swordsman was wondering about what Jin-seong said,

“Ah……”

The magic swordsman dropped his head.

He fainted.

Chzzzz….!

After a while, thick smoke began to rise from the body of the magic swordsman.

The smoke soon turned into the shape of a human.

A man wearing a splendid necromancer’s robe appeared.

The man with his face hidden by a hood smiled.

“Never expected that you’ll know that I was hiding inside the magic swordsman’s body… Is it because you’re a regressor?”

Sssk, it was when the necromancer was about to pull something out of his arms.

Jin-seong swung his sword and sliced the figure of the necromancer.

Pwack!

The sand figure broke and became scattered in the air.

“……”

And Jin-seong waited.

Soon, there was a voice coming from above.

“Lee Jin-seong… I guess I’ll need to get straight to the point.”

It was when Jin-seong turned around,

“What, what is he doing?!”

Kang Min-ah shouted in surprise.

The man, standing on the top of the mushroom close to the dead body of the lord, was reaching out his hand towards the holy spear.

When the man touched the holy spear,

Pzzzzz….!

A tremendous light was emitted.

Chuaaaaa….!

Keuk?!

Everyone had to cover their eyes at the intense light.

Only Jin-seong looked at the golden pillar decreasing its size with his eyes wide open.

“…….”

Pzz, Pzzzzzz…..!!!

After a while, the holy spear Gae Assail emitting blue sparks was in the man’s hand.

“How can that necromancer take out that holy spear…?!”

“No way!”

Srrrr…..

At the same time, black smoke appeared everywhere.

“I will take this spear with me.”

Holding the holy spear, the necromancer was about to run away.

However,

Srrrng…!

With his magic sword, Jin-seong ran towards the dark smoke where the necromancer hid. He frowned in anger because he knew who the necromancer was.

“Where are you going!”

He struck Tyrfing with all his might.

Boom!

Shockwaves spread in all directions as the holy spear and the magic sword collided.

Dark smoke that filled the area disappeared due to that shock.

Clang!!!!

Gae Assail and Tyrfing, facing each other, were resisting light and darkness as if they were denying each other’s existence.

The necromancer’s hood was taken off due to the shock.

The man holding the spear was smiling.

“…..Long time no see. Lee Jin-seong.”

A man with brown hair and eyes

with a benevolent smile.

It was Yushin.

When Jin-seong saw his face, his anger rose even more.

When his doubt turned out as truth, he was surprised. And his surprise was enough to be turned into anger.

He wielded his magic sword with his wide-open blue eyes like a goblin.

Clang! Clang, clang! Clang!

The collision between the spear and sword caused flames everywhere.

“Why are you doing this!”

Seeing Jin-seong shouting in anger, Yushin smiled.

“Why didn’t you choose the dragon armor?”

Dragon armor was a reward that could be achieved by killing Kang Min-ah who was in the state of echidna.

In other words, he was asking Jin-seong why he didn’t kill Kang Min-ah.

Toong! Dukoong! Koong…!

Lee Jin-seong shouted.

“To subjugate the Devil Kingdom, we need to gather trustable people! There’s no way you don’t know such a thing!”

Hearing that, Yushin smirked.

“A lie.”

“What?”

“You left her alive because of your teacher.”

Chiiing…!

Suddenly, an intense light came out from Gae Assail which Yushin was holding.

“So I will take this spear.”

“Keuk!”

It was when Yushin was trying to make Jin-seong blind by the intense light.

Swoosh!

Two energy orbs rushed towards Jin-seong. The magic swordsman, who was under Yushin’s control, attacked him with energy orbs.

“Jin-seong!”

Kang Min-ah shouted to warn him.

Jin-seong turned around in a second.

Chagagak…!

When Jin-seong sliced the energy orbs with his magic sword, the holy spear made its attack from his back.

But Jin-seong was a possessor of clairvoyance and he was able to see what’s happening behind him.

He managed to dodge the spear by a slight margin.

“…..Oh well…..”

Yushin was surprised by Jin-seong’s dodge.

Chagak!

Jin-seong quickly turned around and stabbed Yushin’s chest.

“You’re stronger than I thought.”

Srrrrkk….!

Yushin’s clone, which could no longer maintain its shape, began to disappear. Yushin smiled in contentment.

“Jin-seong…. See you again.”

Clang, clang…!

When Yushin disappeared in the air,

the holy spear dropped in front of his feet.

“…..”

Sssk….

Jin-seong looked at the spear that was dropped on the ground in a daze.
