Chapter 185: Shadow Dojo (10)
“Territory Announcement . ”
[Dragon’s Authority, ‘Vina,’ has been announced . You are able to exercise your authorities in your territory . ]
[The 2nd step authority has been activated . ]
[Authority: Dragonic Pressure . ]
[All attributes increase within the set time . ]
[All defenses increase as much as your magic power . ]
He ignored the familiar messages and immediately used Blink .
Where Yeon-woo arrived was right behind the shadow . Yeon-woo swung his Aurfilled Vigrid .
Boom!
The shadow flicked it away with his hand . The shadow’s hand was so tough that it was only slightly scratched .
Yeon-woo and the shadow exchanged some blows .
Yeon-woo relentlessly attacked, and the shadow calmly avoided the attacks .
But what Yeon-woo felt from the process was that… . .
‘He’s a lot weaker than I thought . ’
The Martial King was a lot less skilled than he had expected . Of course, he wasn’t weak, since he was still stronger than Yeon-woo’s brother .
The shadow was similar to someone with a 2nd step authority, like him . He thought that it was ‘doable . ’
‘Is there not that much of a difference in the data?’
Even though the shadow was obsessed with becoming stronger, he was still limited by the system from when he was recorded in the hall of fame .
That was probably it . Since if the shadow was able to grow stronger after it was made, it should’ve been as strong as the Martial King .
Once he realized that, he understood how to use the 8 Writings of Divinations of the shadow .
‘Since he couldn’t change his attribute, did he focus on his martial arts?’
Yeon-woo lightly clicked his tongue thinking that things like this happened . It had probably been decades since the shadow was recorded in the hall of fame . In that time, he had probably practiced his Eight Extreme Fists again and again . Yeon-woo realized how the Eight Extreme Fists was this abnormal .
He felt that shadow was amazing for being able to grow that much with his obsessiveness .
‘No . This isn’t just obsessiveness, but… . . ’
Then, the shadow brought his fist closer to himself . It was definitely the 8 Writings of Divination .
‘It’s almost like a habit… . . ’
With those thoughts, Yeon-woo quickly activated Blink . He appeared behind the shadow and attacked his lower body .
A wall made of dirt crumbled . Between the stones, the shadow and Yeon-woo were both doing something different .
The shadow spread out his hand to explode lightning, and Yeon-woo got his Wave of Fire ready .
As lightning and fire clashed, a high column of light soared up to the air . Dust, cloud, and smoke also floated up .
Yeon-woo consecutively used Blink and Haste to escape the range of the explosion . He was able to control them now somewhat, and thanks to them, the effects of the two magic spells had dramatically increased .
Yeon-woo observed the explosion from the ends of the instant dungeon .
His Extrasensory Perception and Draconic Eyes chased after the shadow .
[Master!]
Then, Shanon frantically shouted in his head . He could also feel Hanryeong and Rebecca . They wanted to come outside . He could feel their fury from the previous attack .
However… . .
‘Wait . ’
Yeon-woo shushed them . Right now, it was time to focus on what was at hand .
‘He’s coming . ’
Boom—
Not too long after he was finished thinking, the shadow of the Martial King approached him at a rapid speed from the dust cloud .
His laughter-filled face crumpled violently . Unlike Yeon-woo, who had escaped from the explosion almost unscathed, the shadow was a bit injured . His burnt skin was smoking .
However, Yeon-woo knew that an injured beast was more violent . If the shadow had been enjoying this, now, he would come at him with his full strength .
Also, he didn’t seem as injured as Yeon-woo initially thought . Had he used the Eight Extreme Fists to escape?
It seemed so . That was what his Draconic Eyes and Extrasensory Perception were telling him .
[Time Difference . ]
Before he clashed with him again, Yeon-woo thought to himself .
If this went on, he wouldn’t win . He might lose, or it might be a tie if he used Shanon and the others’ strength .
But that couldn’t happen . Yeon-woo was hoping for one thing .
Complete victory .
He wanted to defeat the shadow one-sidedly . He wanted to defeat the Martial King, and he thought that it might be possible to make his brother come alive again .
He needed to come up with a strategy before there was another fight .
Or he would need to get a clue to get a power that would help him defeat the Martial King .
First of all, what was the difference between him and the shadow?

They were similar, but their proficiency in Eight Extreme Fists was different .
Since the shadow had trained himself for tens of years while being trapped in this place .
But that aside, the shadow probably would’ve been better well-versed in the Eight Extreme Fists than Yeon-woo when he got here in the first place .
So he began to think again .
‘What was the difference between me and the Sword God, or Nocturne?’
He thought of the Martial King’s disciples he had met so far . They were already walking their ‘paths’ at this point . Yeon-woo had multiple skills, but he wasn’t as good as them .
A path of his own . This was what Yeon-woo was contemplating about these days . He had become master with Aura, but Yeon-woo still didn’t know about the path he was walking .
There was definitely more he wanted . To be faster and stronger .
However, the problem was that Yeon-woo didn’t really want to walk the path of a martial artist .
It was fun learning Mugong . He became competitive, and it was satisfactory . However, although it was fun, it didn’t do much for his goal .
So Yeon-woo decided to change his interests .
If he couldn’t make his own path, he could walk the path of another . No, he could make that path his own . That was easier and more efficient .
Also, Yeon-woo had three good examples to learn from .
First, Yeon-woo decided to become the Sword God . The flaws of the Sword God that he saw on the 21st section were still ingrained in his head .
He tried to replicate the flaws using his Extrasensory Perception .
What he interpreted from the Sword God was Direct Strength . It was a power that was sturdy and tough .
Yeon-woo’s body heavily settled down, and his eyes slightly changed .
[You have found the new option, ‘Synchronization . ’ The proficiency of the skill ‘Extrasensory Perception’ has increased . 28 . 1%]
As a message popped up, the slowed up time sped up again .
The Martial King’s shadow was approaching Yeon-woo again . Right before he attacked, he felt something different from Yeon-woo .
Yeon-woo brought Vigrid down fiercely . He moved so fast that he was doing almost 30 movements per second .
The shadow’s eyes widened . Yeon-woo’s strength was different . If it had been sizzling like fire in the past, it was now as hard as a diamond .
Vigrid came at his head . Normally, the shadow would’ve flicked it away, but his arm probably would’ve been cut off .
The shadow decided to confront Yeon-woo head on . Lightning enveloped Yeon-woo .
However, Vigrid tore through the lightning and approached the shadow’s chest .
The shadow was flown back with his right chest wounded . His widened eyes shook . This was a different Yeon-woo from before .
“… . . What are you?”

The shadow growled . But Yeon-woo was already moving onto the next step .
‘Nocturne . ’
This time, his strength was smooth and fancy . The path of Nocturne that Yeon-woo had interpreted was Illusions . It was a strength that used the power of focal points .
Everytime Vigrid was used, a sharp attack was added onto it .
The shadow quickly became bloodied . Now, his two eyes were boiling with rage .
But Yeon-woo calmly imitated Nocturne’s pattern and avoided the shadow’s attacks .
Between Yeon-woo and Nocturne, there was a wide gap of understanding . He couldn’t imitate Nocturne exactly, but he tried to analyze Nocturne in his head .
Yeon-woo’s sword techniques had brought him to the level of an expert .
With the Dragon’s Authority and Magic Equip on top of that, Yeon-woo had the edge .
With a blow from Yeon-woo, the shadow’s left arm was cut off .
Yeon-woo called for a new Synchronization .
‘Martial King . ’
This time, he became the guy in front of him . He couldn’t become the Martial King, but he was able to similarly copy the shadow .
The shadow looked at Yeon-woo in shock . He felt like he was fighting three people . He was the shadow giving the trial, but it felt like he had been the one to experience it .
Yeon-woo used his last Writing of Divination . It was something that ripped apart everything in sight .
What Yeon-woo interpreted from the Martial King was pressing down your opponent with strength .
Eventually, the shadow was pushed back powerlessly . His anger was up to his head .
“Shit… . . !”
The shadow ground his teeth and expressed anger for the first time . It wasn’t towards Yeon-woo . It was towards himself, for being stuck here . There was another anger mixed in there too .
Yeon-woo felt his obsession for defeating Allforone .
And Yeon-woo was able to realize . That guy wasn’t the Martial King . He was from the Martial King’s data, but he was only an obsessive remnant of him . The Martial King that Yeon-woo knew wasn’t like that .
He was stronger and more arrogant than anyone . Also, he was the freest .
He wasn’t someone to be bound to something like this . That guy was… . a shell . Yes, that was a good way to describe it .
Before Yeon-woo began his last attack, he changed his base again .
He synchronized with Heaven Wing Cha Jeong-woo . The Eight Extreme Swords loosely escaped and quickly landed in the heart of the shadow .
There, Yeon-woo was able to get a test of the path he would walk . Divine Speed . What if he was able to use a power that even the gods couldn’t see, because it was so strong? It was a path worth considering to take .
The shadow glared at Yeon-woo, panting, and crumbled to pieces .

[You have successfully cleared the 32nd section . ]
[Through this trial, you have grown significantly . You have accomplished something extraordinary . Additional Karma and rewards are being given . ]
[Master, you… . . ?]
In the fading dungeon, Shanon tossed Yeon-woo a question . He was asking why Yeon-woo didn’t grab onto the shadow of the Martial King . But Yeon-woo shook his head in reply .
He felt like he had dreamt a happy dream, although it had only been for a little while . But he was still able to have hope .
Even if he brought his brother’s shadow, could it really be his brother? It would just be an imitation, like the Martial King’s . It was an insult to his brother .
A dream was only a dream . It couldn’t come true .
‘Yeah . He’s… . . someone I can’t see anymore . ’
Yeon-woo decided to accept reality . But he couldn’t help but feel a bit better . Maybe he had been hoping that there was a way for his brother to come back all this time .
And the dungeon disappeared like that, leaving way for a new dungeon . It was the last section . Allforone . Yeon-woo wanted to quickly leave the dungeon and beat the shadow that the Martial King hadn’t been able to .
[The trial of the 33rd section is beginning . ]
[Soon, the fight with 1st place ‘Bivasbat’ is beginning .
Just when Yeon-woo was preparing for the fight .
[The shadow of ‘Bivasbat’ has been deleted for an unknown reason . The data cannot be found . ]
[The trial of the 33rd floor has automatically been finished . ]
[All trials have ended . ]
It was a completed unexpected message .
“What?”
Yeon-woo wrinkled his forehead .
