Chapter 108: 107 – Flone’s Dowry – II

A broken formation. The moment that they realized it was me and Seonhwa standing there, the poachers started running away.

But that was pointless. The moment that they appeared before me, retreat was impossible. And the reason for that...

[Spatial Coordinates have been warped using <Conceptual Manipulation>.]

A holographic message screen popped in front of my eyes. The latest evolution of Transcendent Insight and my Karmic Eyes.

The archers tried running through the forest clearing to meet with their allies. But the moment they did, they reappeared back in the middle of the clearing.

"W-What?!"

One of the archers cried out in surprise and then looked at me with wide eyes. "W-Wait!" He reached out with his hand and said, "This is a-"

*sching*

A clean sound. My blue sword cutting through the air and splitting him apart while at the same time slashing through the resentment surrounding him.

The moment I did that, divine power welled up, trying to whisk him away. But before it could, the resentment wrapped around the man's soul and pulled him into a place I couldn't see.

Probably the cycle of reincarnation in this world if it had one. Or if he was unlucky, nonexistence.

Either way, it was one piece of trash tossed out.

Seonhwa glanced at me for a moment, but then shook her head and cut down another of the archers.

Blood sprayed and that archer fell to the floor. Once more, divine light tried to whisk the person away. But as if the resentful sentiments refused to allow it, the divine light dissipated and the person's soul vanished.

Did Seonhwa sense that?

Her eyes widened and she looked at me in shock. "Jihu-"

"Talk later." I stepped forward and stared at the other archers while gauging the distance from their reinforcements. "Clean up first."

Seonhwa pursed her lips, but then nodded. After that, her expression turned cold, donning the persona of the Sacred Empress Baek Haeju again.

"W-Why are you doing this?" One of the remaining archers pointed at me and said, "Aren't you Humanity's Hero!? It's just some beastfolk!"

Seonhwa stopped, staring at me and waiting for an answer.

Seeing that, I paused for a bit to consider it. But then I shrugged and said, "I never said I was a hero."

Now... It vanished a while ago, but if I remembered right...

[<Mirror's Edge Swordsmanship (Ungraded)> has been restored from <Chaotic Resolution>]

A swordsmanship where the heart remained as calm and tranquil as a polished mirror and each slash perfectly countered all the force it met. A style built around harmony that was converted into a skill for anyone to use without needing to understand the principles.

...It was weird, since it was a skill that I had from the start but never used properly. Something that I also didn't create.

But since I was focusing on training again, I remembered it after going over my skill descriptions. And when thinking about how it worked...

[<Mirror's Edge Swordsmanship (Ungraded)> synergizes with <All as One> and <Conceptual Manipulation>]

The sound of shattering glass echoed.

No. That was an illusion.

Even so, the effect that followed wasn't.

I swung my blade through the air, seemingly at nothing. But when I did, blue light and lines erupted all around, causing blood to spray in every direction.
