The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 110 : Feeling the Waves (17)

After going around the rest of the islands and rescuing people, the number surprisingly came close to a thousand. These bastards, even when I was in the Demonic Cult, I didn't do such dirty things, but seeing the world progress so much made my heart feel strangely warm. Yes, this is the demonic path. In my time, this kind of wildness was lacking. The Orthodox Faction guys were more like the Demonic Cult. Anyway, I was on my way back to Hainan with them.

However, I discovered that the people I had rescued before had not gone straight back to Hainan but were on the island.

"Why didn't you go?"

To my question, they answered like this.

"If we go by ourselves and get caught again, it's all for nothing."

"That's true."

Thus, I was on my way back with the people I had rescued before on the ship.

Although their ship was large, it was quite cramped with over a thousand people on board.

So I was standing almost hanging off the edge of the deck.

Hainan was slowly coming into view. This dreadful sea life is finally coming to an end. I learned this time that the sea and I don't get along. The typhoon, the pirates, the Black Heaven... just thinking about it made my whole body feel tired. As expected, a person should live with both feet firmly on the solid ground. As I was briefly reminiscing about my longed-for life on land, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden suddenly came up next to me.

The Rakshasa Divine Maiden had been with me since that day.

The Rakshasa Divine Maiden suddenly started to examine me here and there. I just left her alone. I want you to know that it's definitely not because I'm scared of the Rakshasa Divine Maiden. It was just because it was annoying to deal with her.

Should I say she's like a person who has just come out into the world? She has so many questions, and in fact, the reason I'm here is also to escape from the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's barrage of questions.

If I don't ask her, she's going to keep doing this.

"What are you doing?"

I finally gave her my attention, and the Rakshasa Divine Maiden answered as if she had been waiting.

"Why is the air so humid?"

"Because we're on the sea."

"I see. Why are those people over there hugging each other and crying?"

"They must feel a sense of relief as Hainan gets closer."

"I see. And also."

"Wait."

"Huh?"

"Let's just take three questions a day."

"Is that an order?"

"Yeah."

"You're the one who gave me freedom. Why, do you want to restrain me again?"

Hah! Look at this grown woman saying things that could be misunderstood by anyone who hears!

I could feel some bad gazes from behind.

I thought about making excuses to them for a moment, but I thought, 'Why bother?'

I shook my head and said.

"Do as you please."

"I am doing as I please."

She doesn't lose a single word. The Rakshasa Divine Maiden was no longer the Rakshasa Divine Maiden I knew. Perhaps this was her true self.

Well, this change wasn't bad.

Except for the fact that she kept asking me questions.

Just then.

The Rakshasa Divine Maiden and I simultaneously fixed our gazes towards Hainan.

"Sword Emperor, did you feel it too?"

"Yeah."

The sticky killing intent covering Hainan.

And the faint smell of blood that wafted over despite the considerable distance.

Among them, there was also a familiar energy mixed in.

"I'll go first."

I kicked off the deck without a moment's hesitation. At the same time, I put on the mask I had taken from the Blood-Faced Demon to hide my identity for now.

I could see the Sword Demoness over there.

Opposite her was a person who was emitting killing intent towards the Sword Demoness.

'Good. Let's experiment on that guy.'

I performed the acquired full-body fine meridian activation, Segeuk Oegang, which I had learned while fighting the Blood-Faced Demon.

The quack doctor who had checked my body on the island had said this.

-The density of your skeleton has increased overall. Accordingly, it seems that your muscles are undergoing a change to adapt to the changed body. If you want to hear more accurate information, please allow me to perform an autopsy.

-Yes. I understand, so get lost.

-Tch! I will definitely succeed next time!

Anyway, it meant that my muscles had increased to adapt to the strengthened bones. To be more precise, should I say that my muscles have become more detailed?

I don't know what that means, but it wasn't a bad thing. In fact, it was good if anything.

Originally, my limit was to perform either Segeuk Oegang or the Reversal of Heaven alone. But now, even when I was using both at the same time, I didn't feel any strain on my body.

As the land got closer, I could see the Sword Demoness holding someone. And that person was an unexpected person.

'The Sword Empress?'

Judging by her condition, she wasn't dead, but she seemed to have suffered severe internal injuries.

I immediately approached the man who was emitting killing intent towards the Sword Demoness.

At my surprise attack, the man couldn't react at all and made the mistake of allowing me into his distance.

'I'll end it in one blow.'

Anyone could see that this guy was in a hostile situation with the Sword Demoness and the Sword Empress.

I used all my strength from the beginning to test the new technique I had learned.

I added lightning qi to the existing Twin Poles and fed him the newly created technique, the Lightning Pole.

The second form of the Reversal of Heaven, the Twin Poles.

Lightning attribute endowment, Lightning Pole!

Flash!

Wouldn't it be a scene like this if a thunderbolt fell from a clear sky?

There was no need to check the opponent's condition.

It's common sense that a person is at least seriously injured or dies when struck by lightning.

"Is it over?"

For a moment, I was so surprised that I froze.

"I asked if it was over."

I answered.

With this one time, I was certain. That bastard is dangerous.

I bowed very politely and turned around.

"Yes! It's over. Then, please take care!"

"Who gave you permission to go?"

"Wow! Is there anything else you need?"

"Silvery-white hair. A white sword that looks like it was carved from ice. The martial prowess you just showed and that mask."

You're wearing a mask too!

While he was talking, I could feel numerous presences approaching from behind the man with the mask.

This was a very bad sign.

And I could see that the gaze of the man with the mask was slightly moving away from me. I expanded my presence and checked where the man's gaze was directed.

"A woman with short black hair. Slightly upturned eyes. The momentum felt is at the Profound Realm. A black sword at her waist. Hehehe."

The man with the mask started laughing to himself as if he had lost his mind. He was definitely a madman. I started to seriously consider whether I should run away now. And I decided that if I were to run away, I would ask one thing and then run.

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Are you guys from the Black Heaven?"

"As expected of the successor of the Sword Emperor, who has been designated as a special-grade target. To think you knew our identity so early."

They even knew my identity, which I had not yet revealed.

"Wow! So you were from the Black Heaven! Then, please continue what you were doing! I'll be on my way!"

Unfortunately, my connection with the Sword Empress was to end here.

If there is a next life, let's meet on a good day, in a good place, with good food and good connections.

I'll just take the Sword Demoness and run.

If that guy isn't a fish, he won't be able to follow me if I go out to sea.

"The woman over there is a special-grade target, the successor of the Heavenly Emperor. I don't know if this is good luck or bad luck. To think I would see three special-grade targets in one place."

Ah! That's right. I have to ask one more thing before that.

"May I ask what that special-grade target is?"

"It means a person designated by the Heaven to be killed without fail."

Indeed!

"As expected, right?"

The man with the mask and I were destined to fight. It was right after that that the man ordered the people behind him.

"Kill them."

The people behind him all passed me and flew backwards. I just watched them.

Although the people who had just passed were quite strong, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden was there.

Why do bad premonitions always come true?

"Alright! Since it has come to this, let's be frank and ask one thing!"

"You've been asking since a while ago."

Indeed, a bad connection! He makes me speechless.

"Ahem!"

For now, my goals were largely three. First, to recruit the Sword Empress. Second, to take revenge on the guys who had destroyed the Hainan Sect. Third, to save Hainan from the Black Heaven.

Looking at it this way, everything was converging to one point.

I have to kill the guy in front of me.

The problem was that that guy was a damn strong guy. To be honest, I thought he would be about as strong as the Blood-Faced Demon.

To be honest, even if he was only as strong as the Blood-Faced Demon, it was safe to say that he had no opponent in the martial world.

Tears are really about to come out.

I feel like the world is against me.

Why do these monsters keep appearing in front of me!

I said.

"What's your purpose after eating up all of Hainan?"

The amount of salt produced in the salt fields of Hainan, even for just one day, was comparable to the daily earnings of all the five great merchant guilds of the Central Plains.

The amount of money that would accumulate over time would be countless.

There were only a few things that required that much money.

Looking at their actions so far, there was a picture that was roughly drawn.

To destroy Namgung and eat up the Orthodox Faction.

To rule Hainan and take a huge amount of slush funds.

If we assume that things went as they wanted, the conclusion reached was one.

"Why? Are you going to start a second Righteous-Demonic War?"

At my repeated questions, a laugh came from within the mask.

"Hehehe. Do you know why a special-grade is a special-grade?"

"What kind of bullshit is that? Just answer my question."

"A one-of-a-kind variable that can turn the battlefield upside down alone. In our Heaven, we call such beings special-grade. And only today do I realize it myself."

The sense of unease coming from the man grew.

My instincts were constantly sending warnings.

"You are especially more dangerous."

The moment I thought the man was moving, he had already reached my bosom.

'I can't read his movements.'

It wasn't a movement with any particular skill. It was just that it had surpassed the range I could perceive.

He was simply fast. And very much so.

Squeeze.

I could hear the sound of the air being crushed from the man's clenched fist. And as before, the fist was extended without any prior preparation.

I crossed my arms to block. If I hadn't perceived it in advance, I wouldn't have been able to react this time either.

A huge impact felt from the outside of my arms.

My two feet lifted off the ground, and my body flew.

After rolling on the ground several times, I was finally able to stand up after dissipating the impact. An immense pain as if it were broken was transmitted from the outer part of my arm that had blocked the attack.

The movement and power the man with the mask had just shown.

It was definitely a type I had never seen before.

Above all, the movement without any warning was quite tricky, making it seem as if the opponent had suddenly teleported in front of you.

This time, I tensed up and took in every single movement of the opponent. But the opponent was standing still.

On the contrary, his pupils, which had been slanted until just now, had returned to their original state as if he were surprised.

"You, how are you unharmed?"

What?

"I'm unharmed because I blocked it."

The guy pointed to my swollen arm.

"You weren't broken even after being hit squarely by my attack?"

What's he talking about? That bastard?

"Are you not going to answer? I'll just have to check for myself!"

The guy once again showed the movement without any preparation. As expected, it was fast. However, I had anticipated the path to some extent when the guy kicked off the ground.

'The position he will reach is three steps away to the side.'

As before, I spread my internal energy thinly and created a barrier around me. And I overlapped it in a grid pattern so that the barrier would not break easily.

Crack, thwack!

As expected, the thinly spread and overlapped barrier that I had put up first broke easily.

Second, on top of my skin, I followed the Blood Scale that Soma had shown before and created an armor of internal energy on my skin, or rather, it's a bit grandiose to call it that, I just created a protective qi.

Crack, thwack!

This also broke easily as expected.

Third, I applied the Green Water that the young master of the Green Forest had shown during the Divine Demon Tournament and held onto the guy's movements.

Rip, tear!

As expected, this also tore easily.

However, all these actions were not meaningless.

Although I couldn't block the opponent's attack, I had succeeded in making that attack a little slower.

The trajectory of the invisible attack was visible.

Fourth, I focused the Segeuk Oegang on my arm to increase the attack power as much as possible, and I spread it on the face, which was the end of the trajectory of the opponent's fist, to lessen the impact as much as possible.

Thwack!

Our arms crossed in the air and collided slightly.

I clenched my teeth.

Crash!

The guy's fist hit my face. Even though I had prepared for it, it was a blow that made me lose my mind for a very brief moment.

But my fist also accurately hit the opponent's face.

'I felt it!'

As proof of that, my opponent and I were staggering back.

I couldn't believe it was this much even after preparing for a direct hit and mitigating the impact a whopping four times.

'I mitigated the impact a whopping four times.'

But the opponent had no such thing.

The fist I had extended hit the opponent with its full force.

I raised my head and checked the opponent's condition.

The opponent seemed to have no damage other than the broken mask on the side he was hit.

'Is this for real?'

However, the opponent was looking at me again with surprised eyes.

"How are you fine?"

My mask was completely shattered.

In addition, I couldn't feel any sensation from the cheek on the side I was hit.

The lower part of my vision was half-covered, so it was obvious that it was swollen.

"How can you stand after being hit by that?"

Come on! I'm at a loss for words! Anyone would think I had blocked it completely.

On the contrary, he's the one who's more fine.

Is he teasing me?

"I see. You! You were a master who had reached the third realm of the Profound Realm, the Profound Other."

What the fuck is that, you bastard
