The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 375:

The fight between Kang Yu-hyun and Choi Do-yoon was enough to cause a natural disaster in the surrounding area with its aftermath.

A huge storm raged around them, sweeping the nearby land with tremendous force.

As their swords clashed, the earth turned upside down and the sky split apart with dazzling flashes of light.

After exchanging a blow, Choi Do-yoon clicked his tongue and backed away.

“Are you running away?”

“I’m just creating some distance.”

Yu-hyun didn’t let him go and caught up with him in an instant. The two landed in a desolate wasteland far away from Lindel and collided again.

Yu-hyun stabbed his sword, Baekryeon, into him.

Choi Do-yoon didn’t try to dodge or block.

That was his way of fighting.

In a split second, Choi Do-yoon’s sword split into five and dazzled Yu-hyun’s eyes. Illusion?

No. It was not an illusion.

The five swords that were aiming at Yu-hyun right now were all real.

The blessing of the sword.

Before returning to Earth, Choi Do-yoon was called a sword god in the world where he was trapped by Vanishing.

He never compromised with anyone about his sword.

The four swords that floated around him were also a blessing he obtained by reaching the peak of the sword.

The one he wielded himself and the four that freely flew in the air moved brilliantly from all directions and aimed at Yu-hyun’s neck.

Yu-hyun, who was about to attack, had to focus on defense.

This was dangerous.

Yu-hyun put on the mask of Aporia on his face. Black characters rose around his body like ripples.

The four eyes engraved on the mask glowed red and then drew a line in the air.

Yu-hyun’s body disappeared with a black shadow.

Choi Do-yoon guarded his surroundings with his guardian sword and rolled his eyes.

‘He’s fast.’

He didn’t know what kind of power that mask had, but as soon as he put it on, his movement changed.

It was only a moment, but he lost track of his movement. It was not an exaggerated rumor that the Black Thunder Lord had been defeated.

Choi Do-yoon quickly expanded his aura.

A huge dome that was invisible to the eye covered him and the area around him.

Even if he couldn’t see him, he could catch how his opponent moved if he was inside the dome.

Clang!

He blocked a surprise attack from behind and asked with an expressionless face.

“Is that all you got from wearing that mask?”

“See for yourself.”

Yu-hyun pushed his arm forward and Choi Do-yoon’s body started to slide back.

The balance of power that had been even until a while ago collapsed completely.

It would be hard to compete with him in strength now.

Then he just had to change his style. Choi Do-yoon swiftly swung his sword sideways.

His honest sword trajectory that swung wildly became more graceful and curved, and soon it became so brilliant that it dazzled his eyes.

As if he was testing if he could block this properly, the blade filled with will aimed at Yu-hyun’s vital points.

One of Yu-hyun’s eyes shone.

Laplace’s eye, which could see the future, read the future that would come to him. But it was not complete.

His opponent was an executor of the alliance.

Even among Divine Spirits, he was a strong one who couldn’t be challenged by rank alone.

He filled in the missing part with intuition.

Shushushuk.

In an instant, he had scratches all over his body.

He didn’t manage to defend or evade properly, but he didn’t care.

The wounds healed in an instant.

He avoided all direct hits.

Choi Do-yoon admired Yu-hyun’s movement.

“You’ve gained a strange power.”

“It’s the power to take you down.”

Yu-hyun didn’t back down from Choi Do-yoon’s provocation and changed his sword into a harpoon shape.

He pulled his arm to the limit and threw the harpoon forward. Then [Leviathan] unfolded.

In an instant, the expanding energy turned into a giant sea snake and opened its mouth toward Choi Do-yoon.

Crack!

Leviathan swallowed Choi Do-yoon’s body.

Immediately after, countless blades sprouted from Leviathan’s body and tore it apart.

The tomb of swords.

The skill that tore up enemies with countless swords was a sight he often saw in his previous life.

How many despair came down under the name of trial and were swept away miserably under that tomb of swords?

A cheat-like skill that could attack and defend as he pleased.

Yu-hyun clenched his teeth and summoned Nautilus.

A huge submarine floated in the air and fired countless missiles.

The missiles trailed in the air and aimed at Choi Do-yoon. Choi Do-yoon immediately stabbed his sword into the ground.

The tomb of swords unfolded again.

Chajajajak!

Large and small sword blades pierced the ground and sprang up, surrounding Choi Do-yoon’s body as if to protect him.

Nautilus’s missiles couldn’t penetrate the swords.

“Break it.”

As Choi Do-yoon’s command fell, the blades soared into the sky.

Countless swords pierced and cut the Nautilus submarine, turning it into a pile of scrap metal.

Nautilus, engulfed in the smoke of the explosion, turned into characters and disappeared.

Hundreds of swords that pierced through the Nautilus hung in the air like a curtain, glaring at Yu-hyun.

[Yu-hyun, he’s very strong!]

Baekryeon, who had hardly said anything when fighting Kang Hye-rim, the Black Thunder Lord, admired the opponent’s martial prowess for the first time.

He was glad that his mythical weapon had the property of being indestructible, because he had received several blows from Choi Do-yoon’s swordsmanship and felt that he might break if this continued.

The Executor of the Alliance was an honorable title given only to the strongest among the lords affiliated with the Alliance.

Choi Do-yoon’s name as a lord had been on everyone’s lips even before he was called an Executor.

The Lord of Swords.

The only being loved and praised by all swords.

That was his essential nature that never changed even after he became an Executor.

“Is that all?”

Surrounded by a beautifully arranged crowd of swords, Choi Do-yoon looked down at Yu-hyun with an indifferent gaze.

“Then I’m very disappointed.”

Hwaruk!

The eyes of Aporia’s mask glowed even stronger.

“Of course not.”

At the same time, as if unraveling black ink, the world around Yu-hyun turned black.

Choi Do-yoon’s eyebrows twitched.

Hoo.

For the first time, a curious smile formed on his lips.

It was not a simple darkness, but a jet-black energy that overflowed to the outside and made it so.

Yu-hyun reached out to Choi Do-yoon.

The first demon of Chilma Black Sky God Technique, disaster flower, unfolded.

The powerful energy that covered the world turned into black flowers and bloomed beautifully.

Each petal was a deadly strike filled with will and killing intent.

‘That’s quite dangerous.’

Choi Do-yoon’s swords behind his back rained down like a shower.

The swords and petals collided and exploded in mid-air.

Kwagwagwagwang.

Brighter than daylight, dazzling flashes burst one after another.

Watching the spectacle from afar, Yoo Darin had to break out in a cold sweat along with a sigh.

‘Those monsters are the same lords as me?’

They were called the same lords, but they were too different.

She felt it painfully in her bones just by feeling the huge waves created by the collision of power and power on her skin.

They were living in a completely different world from her.

Kugwagwagwang!

The explosions overlapped and grew bigger.

In an instant, a huge explosion erupted and swept the surrounding area with heat and energy.

The ground melted rather than cracked, and the air around it was sucked in at once, creating a giant mushroom cloud.

In the smoke of the explosion, Choi Do-yoon searched for Yu-hyun’s location.

‘Where is he? Where?’

It was not an easy task to find Yu-hyun who hid his body in the smoke.

There were still countless debris mixed around him, so there was a limit to checking with his senses. At that moment, he saw a red glow flash by below him.

Choi Do-yoon’s sword shot like an arrow.

Pukpukpuk!

The sound of piercing flesh was accurate. He hit him properly. But Choi Do-yoon felt doubtful about that point.

He thought he would dodge or block it, so he fired it as a feint, but he took it so easily?

‘No. It’s fake.’

Reason and instinct came up with an answer at the same time.

At the same time, his body spun and swung his sword, blocking the surprise attack from behind.

“This is the real one.”

“They’re all real.”

The dust cloud below split open and more than ten Yu-hyuns rushed at Choi Do-yoon. Illusions?

No, they were all reality.

Choi Do-yoon retrieved his swords around him and wrapped them around his body like armor.

A power that turns fantasy into reality.

He had no time to be surprised by that as Yu-hyun’s attack became more fierce.

The second demon, Black Thunder.

Compressed energy like threads shot at Choi Do-yoon. Choi Do-yoon summoned a giant sword thicker than a temple pillar and used it as a shield.

The Black Thunder could not penetrate the giant sword and bounced off to the outside. Yu-hyun clenched his fist with his hand that had reached out at that moment.

Chwarararak!

The scattered Black Thunder intertwined with each other and tangled up with the giant sword like threads. Sensing that he was trying to make a prison with Black Thunder, Choi Do-yoon’s aura soared high into the sky.

Barely escaping from the confinement of Black Thunder, what awaited Choi Do-yoon was Yu-hyun who summoned a black dragon from high above.

The third demon, Dragon Ascending to Heaven.

A dragon that shaped itself like a storm opened its mouth towards Choi Do-yoon. It was a terrifying blow that would shred anyone to pieces, no matter who they were. But Yu-hyun thought that was not enough.

‘More powerful.’

Rumble!

Electricity discharged around Yu-hyun and Black Thunder formed.

The fourth magic, Drunken Thunder, unfolded.

Choi Do-yoon was not idle either.

Countless swords around him mixed together and merged into a giant sword.

It was one of the most powerful skills he possessed, a single sword.

It pierced through the Dragon’s Sky and headed towards Yu-hyun.

The lightning that fell behind blocked the sword like a barrier.

Crack!

The single sword tore through the Drunken Thunder and slowly advanced.

‘I’m pushed back. This is not enough.’

Yu-hyun thought he needed a stronger skill. Then, should he use the fifth magic?

No. Destruction of Fire and Ice was a wide-area skill that was not suitable for blocking a single sword that concentrated its power on one point. Yu-hyun decided to use a different skill.

‘The story of Hyerim’s book, the skill I learned from there.’

Sssss.

Some of the Drunken Thunder was recovered around him and turned into a black sword. In an instant, countless lightning swords were created around Yu-hyun.

Choi Do-yoon, who saw that sight beyond the single sword, opened his eyes wide.

That skill was definitely something he remembered.

“That’s… the Black Thunder Lord’s…?”

Spiral Black Sword (螺旋黑劍).

The sword of power that Yu-hyun created rotated in a spiral shape and collided with Choi Do-yoon’s sword.

A dazzling flash and another explosion occurred.

Their energies disappeared as if they canceled each other out, scattering all kinds of shockwaves around them.

Yu-hyun clenched his teeth and threw himself into the center of the explosion.

‘Faster.’

Choi Do-yoon widened his eyes as he saw Yu-hyun.

He didn’t expect him to break through the explosion with his bare body, and Choi Do-yoon’s reaction was delayed.

Yu-hyun’s shoulder hit Choi Do-yoon’s body. Their bodies tangled together and fell to the ground.

Boom!

A cloudy dust cloud rose and a crater was created. In the center of it, Yu-hyun pushed Choi Do-yoon’s neck with one elbow and glared at him.

“Where are you babbling more? Is this not enough for you!”

With a furious scream, he put strength into his arm.

Eek!

Choi Do-yoon frowned in pain and recovered some swords that were left around him.

“Descartes.”

[Yes. My lord.]

As Yu-hyun gave the order, Descartes appeared and tied the swords in midair.

With this, Choi Do-yoon’s last resort was completely blocked.

“Why. Are you speechless when you lose to someone you’ve ignored until now?”

“You…”

With his eyes filled with killing intent and anger, Choi Do-yoon tried to say something but closed his lips tightly.

That fueled Yu-hyun’s anger even more.

“Answer me. How do you feel right now?”

Yu-hyun’s emotions that he had suppressed until now collapsed and exploded.

What did I come here for?

What kind of determination did I have to come here?

How much have I been through?

“Huh? Answer me!”

But you, how dare you talk about my value and qualifications?

You don’t know. You don’t know anything. How much pain I’ve suffered to get here, what I’ve sacrificed.

“Answer me!!!”

Yu-hyun shouted and lifted up Baekryeon with his reverse hand.

Choi Do-yoon closed his eyes as he saw him.

Clang!

But he didn’t feel the pain he was waiting for. Choi Do-yoon opened his eyes that he had closed.

The Baekryeon that he thought would pierce his forehead was stuck in the ground right next to his head.

At the last moment, Yu-hyun twisted the direction of the sword and didn’t kill him.

Choi Do-yoon looked at him with surprise as he received his gaze.

Yu-hyun staggered up from his seat and looked up at Choi Do-yoon.

“Why didn’t you kill me?”

“Because I’m not you.”

With that one word that implied many things, Choi Do-yoon sighed.

“I see.”

It was a perfect defeat for him, so much so that they had no words to argue.

They had not used all the skills that they had squeezed out of their souls.

They had not shown what they could really do.

But even if they had fought with all their sincerity, he felt a certainty that the result would have been the same.

At that moment, he sensed a few presences approaching quickly from afar towards them.

“Doyun!”

Along with a familiar voice, someone flew over on a hawk, her red hair fluttering in the wind.

She landed right next to Choi Do-yoon and checked his condition.

At the same time, a brown-skinned woman who came with her on the hawk glared at Yu-hyun with a twisted face after seeing Choi Do-yoon’s state.

“How dare you…!”

“Stop! Jamila!”

It was Gu Seoyun who stopped Jamila.

She looked at Yu-hyun with a somewhat awkward gaze.

“You’re Kang Yu-hyun Teller, right?”

“Yeah.”

Yu-hyun nodded and removed the mask of Aporia.

Jamila’s eyes widened as she recognized him. It was surprising to see Yu-hyun alive and well in front of her, who was said to have gone missing five years ago.

“The Book Pile Lord, you…?”

“Do you know each other?”

Choi Do-yoon asked as he got up with Gu Seoyun’s help.

Gu Seoyun nodded with a heavy face. She briefly explained that they had met before. She was an academy student five years ago, but now she looked exactly like the Gu Seoyun from Yu-hyun’s previous life.

Yu-hyun was slightly surprised to see Jamila and Gu Seoyun moving together with Choi Do-yoon again. He had lost Huang Se-eun, the Black Iron Knight, to them, but was this fate?

“You were alive? No, where have you been all this time?”

“It just happened.”

He gestured for her not to ask any more questions and changed the topic.

“That… What about Collector Kang Hye-rim?”

Gu Seoyun clamped her mouth shut as she tried to say something.

She realized what Yu-hyun had gone through before coming here when she found out that he was the Book Pile Lord.

“…Yura and Sumin have been waiting for you anxiously. And the people from White Flower Management too.”

“Do you know where they are?”

“They’re in one of the union’s major cities, Old Town. You might not find them all there, but you should be able to get some news if you go there.”

“…I see. Thanks for telling me.”

“I…”

Yu-hyun did not listen to what Gu Seoyun had to say next.

Jamila tried to call out to him, but Choi Do-yoon stopped her.

“Let it go. Let him go.”

“But…”

“Just let him go.”

Maybe he sensed something in his voice, but Gu Seoyun nodded with a nervous expression and said okay.

Yu-hyun moved away to a far place right away.

There, Kang Hye-rim was waiting for him after completing the evacuation.

No, she was not alone.

She was holding a child much smaller than herself and rubbing her cheek.

It was Yudarin, the lord of Lindel.
