The King of the Battlefield - Chapter 202

Chapter 202
The people couldn’t unite .



They couldn’t cooperate, and couldn’t trust each other .

After Reign Gun’s death, the increased punishment and chaos created a wall amongst themselves .

From the beginning, the Reign clan going their own way about Noble Castle also didn’t help . They only knew how to build their own clan, they never did anything in the interests of the whole Noble Castle .

Also, it was the first time that Noble Castle had been invaded from the inside .

This was something that had originated from the heart of the city .

More than anything, they needed to quickly react, but the speed with which Muyoung acted was too fast .

Looking at the horrific scene that was in front of him, Alan shuddered with his whole body .

‘It’s hell . This is hell…’

Endless screams were heard .

There were sounds of buildings burning and collapsing as they turned to ashes .

The world was red, and even the towers that reached the sky seemed like symbols of a curse .

Even the paladins, who had experienced all kinds of training, were lost for words .

What could they say?

The monsters didn’t kill those who kneeled . However, those who didn’t were ruthlessly slaughtered, without any hesitation .

Seeing the abdomens of the resistors split open and their intestines and other internal organs pouring out didn’t seem real to the paladins .

It seemed more like hell than the real world .

“Shouldn’t we… help them?”

Alan tried his best to speak from his heart .

He felt like he needed to help . He was a rank 1 priest, and followed the holy words to always live by helping others .

However, his feet didn’t move, and he was barely able to get the words out .

The paladins weren’t too enthusiastic either .

“It is better to return to Mulalan and get their help . ”

“I don’t want to admit it but with just us, it wouldn’t be much of a help . ”

It was obvious for the paladins to be dissuasive .

Trying to beat a rock with an egg?

No .

They weren’t even eggs . If they could compare it, it was more like trying to beat a rock with bubbles .

If you were to hit an egg against a rock, there would at least be traces left, but bubbles just popped . They couldn’t leave a trace .

“How can we leave this place and ask for relief?”

Alan’s voice sounded as if there was no hope .

They couldn’t even leave . They were trapped inside a tower . Even if they were to try and leave, they would need to fight against the monsters .

“At least… the kids . I would like to save at least the kids . ”

Alan defined the man with the six wings as evil .

He started the war and was currently carrying out a massacre .

Mercy to those who kneel?

Just because he showed that one mercy, doesn’t mean what he did could be justified .

Either way, he was an invader . That truth didn’t change no matter what reason he might have .

The monsters only let live those who kneeled . Besides them, they didn’t differentiate between an adult or a child . It was the hurdle of simple commands .

“Alan…”

“I won’t tell everyone to follow me . Even it’s just me, I’ll go . ”

Priest Alan tried to do what was right .

His duties as a priest of Mulalan, as an adult .

If he didn’t do it himself, it would really become hell . Without any hope, order, or affection towards one another .

He didn’t want it to become that sort of a world .

This was what all the priests of Mulalan wanted .

Even if there was only evil in this world, he wanted to be good .

This desire was the essential virtue of priests .

‘I will not abide by evil . ’

Alan moved .

***

Muyoung also didn’t like just complying and accepting .

This was also the same .

He wanted the Reign clan and the other clans to resist and to fight back a bit more .

Only then could he feel that the idea of becoming everyone’s enemy was worthy .

‘Raising their desires . ’

Desires were hope .

It was possible to become strong at a tremendous speed if the desire to live was combined with the desire to become stronger .

Did Muyoung become stronger because he was Muyoung?

No . He made that much of an effort to become strong .

Of course, one couldn’t overlook the amount of information he possessed, but there were plenty who had lots of information like Muyoung .

This happened because they didn’t share what they knew, and tried to pursue their own gains .

Muyoung was planning to rectify this malign sentiment .

To do this, small moves weren’t enough .

Even if this was extreme, there needed to be someone like him .

In the past, Dragon Lord Hansung had that sort of role, but he failed .

‘Hansung, his heart wasn’t tough enough . ’

If he was a bit harsher .

If he knew how to withstand things a bit longer .

Hansung would have succeeded in the transformation .

He would have united humanity and gained the strength to fight against evil .

However, Hansung wasn’t harsh enough . He wasn’t willing to start a war against other humans, and through their blood, walk the darkened path .

On the other hand…

‘I’m different . ’

Muyoung would walk that path .

Consequently, he was planning to become not just the demon gods’ enemy .

Everyone’s enemy!

The path Muyoung wanted to walk was long and dangerous . It was the path that no one would recognize or care to take, a path he would walk alone .



As it was something only Muyoung could do .

‘The first thing I need to do is release the knowledge . ’

The Noble Castle was especially closed up .

The amount of information that was concealed in this place was beyond one’s imagination .

That was how places like the Advance clan’s Six Sages were created .

There was so much information that even they didn’t know all of what was inside .

Therefore, the first place Muyoung headed to was the Advance Clan .

As he stretched his hand, with a zap like sound, he was able to smell something burning .

The Advance Clan had activated a barrier .

A comprehensive defensive barrier .

‘It’s funny . ’

However, to Muyoung, it just seemed like a cute act .

It could be easily removed if he called Seo Eunsae . Her extensive ability to analyze enabled her to be the first to find out about the 45th tower and Hell Path .

But, Muyoung didn’t call Eunsae .

Instead, he raised his hand and increased the size of his holy flame .

Craaaack!

The holy flame became a large sphere .

It’s size slowly increased .

Then, a huge seismic change occurred .

He wasn’t sure if it was caused by someone, but the ground sprang up and shot towards the holy flame .

In that state, Muyoung threw the sphere of holy flame towards the Advance Clan .

Crrrraaaaaaaashh!

This was the symbol of the Advance Clan . As the protective barrier was touched by the sphere, a huge sound was created .

The barrier that was made up of exactly 37 layers started to peel one by one .

1, 2, 3… In an instant, he peeled off over 30 layers .

The eyes of those who were within the barrier were widened . As if they couldn’t believe it .

“Your crime is… being bystanders . ”

When the world collapsed, and all the heroes were dying off, the Advance Clan didn’t do anything .

They remained idle . Although they were smart, they didn’t use their knowledge to help the world .

They wasted their time buried in their studies .

He wasn’t maligning research itself . However, how could they just bury the results of their research and the knowledge they found without using them?

Because of their findings, the devils were able to gain power instead .

A few demon kings and demon gods became interested in the information the Advance Clan had and took it from them . Humanity had a much more difficult time due to this .

It was better for them to not exist if that was the case .

Craaaack!

The 37 layers of the barrier were all destroyed .

However, the sphere of holy flame didn’t lose its strength at all . It then crashed into the Advance Clan’s castle and annihilated everything in its surroundings .

People, buildings, the ground, and everything .



However, the things that were buried underground remained .

Muyoung dug up Six Sages .

Six Sages . A vault of great knowledge .

Of course, just digging it up wouldn’t stop it from being buried again .

He needed someone to be furious about seeing this . Someone who was strong, but also had the confidence of the public .

“Stop, you devil!”

Mulalan’s priest appeared .

It seemed like he lost his temper after seeing the Advance Clan disappear in an instant .

“Are people’s lives really that insignificant to you?!”

“It’s insignificant . ”

It was really insignificant .

The thing that’s called life, which fades away with just one gesture .

When he was an assassin, and even now, the weigh of life seemed too light to Muyoung .

This weight would be the same for a lifetime .

“Life is sacred! You can’t think of life so easily…”

“Are you trying to lecture me?”

Thud! Thud!

Huge foxes with nine-tails appeared

A huge form that seemed to be easily the size of a 5-floor building . No one could stop its destructiveness, as it used its massive strength and fox beads .

There were five of them .

The nine-tailed foxes surrounded Alan and the paladins .

Craaaaaaa!

And in the air, seven bone dragons flew in the sky .

The bone dragons helped other monsters to destroy things .

“Aren’t you Banya? Well? How could you commit such a ruthless act?!”

Alan realized that Muyoung was Banya .

Although he had probably never seen him before, his deductive reasoning was great .

However, Muyoung shook his head .

“I’m not Banya . ”

Then, he continued .

“I’m Muyoung . ”

‘Mu’ which stands for nothing .

‘Young’ which stands for shadow .

Although at first, he had the name Yuyoung, he had become Muyoung, the shadow of the world .

“Mu… young!”

Alan thought about the name over and over .

“And did you say that I was ruthless? No . All people are cruel and evil . ”

“That is not so! Everyone always has a good side to them!”

“Really? Then those things underground weren’t done by people . ”

After removing the clan, a few metal doors appeared that lead to the underground .

They were metal doors that could even withstand Muyoung’s attack . The things inside them couldn’t be simple .

The monsters opened one of the metal doors .

Then, numerous dessicated corpses were visible .

“For the sake of battle array research, they confined innocent people in this place . ”

“What?”

Screeeech! Thump!

Another metal door opened .

This time the corpses of numerous animals and other species were visible .

“Are only the lives of humans precious?”

“How could this… no, it isn’t possible . Not with Mulalan watching!”

Alan shook his head as if he couldn’t believe his eyes .

However, Muyoung just grinned .

“The monopolizing of information . That also means that it is possible to conceal information . ”

The Advance Clan strictly remained as a spectator .

Even so, no one was able to meddle with them .

It was because the information they had was also part of their strength .

Since they knew about other’s weaknesses, how could people just easily meddle with them?

Screech!

Thud!

The last metsl door .

This time there weren’t any corpses .

However, inside it, there were hundreds of thousands of books that filled up the room, as well asd a path to another floor below .

“If it was you, do you think you would use the powers you gained only for good? Information and knowledge are strong weapons compared to others . Such weapons lead a person’s mind away and stain it . ”

“I won’t be seduced! I will not fall for temptations of the devil!”

Alan had slightly lost his senses after seeing the genocide .

It was quite a different appearance from a priest who needs to constantly be calm .

“If that is the case, then take them . From now on, it’s your fight with me . I’m quite curious if you won’t be stained by this power . ”

Muyoung provoked Alan .

He also placed a small suggestion .

The king’s language Muyoung could use allowed him to modify a person’s mentality .

Alan would thoroughly disclose this knowledge, and use it only for the people .

Looking at his character, it was very unlikely he would use them for his own benefit .

Muyoung spread his wings .

And then, leisurely headed for another place .

“I won’t be stained! I won’t become evil like you!”

Alan’s veins on his neck were raised as he screamed from the top of his lungs .

Yes, he would be the prosecutor .
