Martial Arts Returnee’s Game Broadcast

1.
Ordinary humans do not grow horns on their foreheads.
They cannot control clouds.
That’s the power of immortals.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.
The Demon King’s avatar’s understanding was logical.
But sometimes, there are powers in the world that defy logic.

“The Demon King’s avatar... It seems you’ve misjudged me.”
[Interaction Options]
[In response to the enemy's misconception, you...]
So what are you going to do? (Pretend to be an immortal.)
Nothing changes. (Feign ignorance.)
Immortal? What’s that?
Did you know the techniques of immortals?
(Silently aims the sword.)
[Unavailable] (Unlock condition: Reach the Sage's Temple.)
[Unavailable] (Unlock condition: Have met the Sage.)
 

A wrong judgment can lead to unexpected crises.
Ha Eung Eung, too, had experienced such moments.
The Pillar of Ascension.
How could she have ever imagined that the pillar would move?
If there hadn’t been the Boogeyman, or even the enemy knight,
Her forces might have been wiped out, or she might have met her end.
But she survived.
And now.
This time, the Demon King’s avatar had misjudged her.
“The avatar transferring information or memories to the original body is a common trick.”
In the martial world, mysterious techniques such as magic or formations exist, and there were immortals who used techniques like the avatar technique.
If the avatar takes a shock beyond a certain level, it disappears, and the original body is temporarily incapacitated.
She knew this.

“If the avatar disappears, the original body will step in. There won’t be another chance like this.”
An avatar that is too dangerous to be left alive, one that must be destroyed here and now.
Now is the only chance to plant false information.
[Golden Rule]
[No Lies] - You cannot lie. Even if you communicate through writing or sign language, you must not lie.

But lying is forbidden.
This is an absolute rule for her to maintain her power.
Breaking the golden rule, which has been passed down from the Martial Arts Chronicles, would cause her power to lose its permanence.
Until she reaches a state where she can maintain her own level of mastery without these constraints, she must follow this rule.
It is the self-regulation that she must follow to exist as herself.
[▶ 4. Did you know the techniques of immortals?]
Thus, she couldn’t choose a direct lie.
She would only pick the option that could amplify doubt based on the information she had gathered.

“Immortal? You must know the Demon Immortal Mihu-ra.”
“Of course. If you’re an immortal, you must know about the fallen immortals who turned their backs on the heavens.”
“It was you who extinguished the star of the betrayer growing by the side of the evil.”
The Demon Immortal Mihu-ra, who dreamed of revenge by absorbing the forest’s energy to defeat the Demon King.
It was true that she had crushed his dream and defeated him, so this was not a lie.
“Now it makes sense.”
“The source of that incomprehensible power. The strength of a monstrous being, forbidden to humans.”
“An immortal who gains strength by breaking taboos, not by keeping them, answers all the questions.”

Wisdom is not the right of the weak alone.
In the world, there is the cunning of the strong, the wisdom of demons.
“How much time do you have left?”
“How long before the backlash from breaking the taboo comes?”
“No, it doesn’t matter if you don’t say anything.”
“The end of a foolish immortal, who will crumble on their own, is clear to see.”
“Today, with this battle, I will cut down the remaining time you have left!”
The strategy succeeded, and the fight was on.
Now, only the proof of strength remained.

2. [Player mode]
The bosses in the half-demon realm have incredible power as they reach the later stages of the field.
In these battles, most of the soldiers are utterly useless.
They are merely obstacles, easily swept aside, adding nothing but inflating the numbers of defeated enemies in a fighting game.
“I can’t even get a step in!”
NPCs aren’t unaware of this fact.
No, if the opponent is the Demon King, even players would have no different reaction.
Facing the Demon King’s avatar, without any items, events, or preparations.

“How do you endure?”
“You’re not enduring, you’re equal footing, right?”
“Didn’t the avatar just break its knee?”
“This is battle art.”
“After playing with clouds for so long, if this was the reason, I accept it.”
 
She gathers blood-clouds to form a blood barrier, disrupting the traces of the sword strikes as they pass through, increasing her presence with each step.
The clash between the final boss and its avatar is as magnificent and dazzling as the swirling blood mist.
It captivates the eye.
“But does the Demon King have a weakness? It looks insanely strong.”
“If you go through the human route, the weakness will appear.”
“The tyrant told me, yeah.”
“Wasn’t the tyrant the ex-king chased by Baek Ryeong-shin?”
“Spoilers much...”
“We’re fighting the final boss’s avatar now, we can spoil at this point, right?”
“True.”
“Honestly, the moment we take on the Demon King without a weakness, it’s a route we’ll never see.”
“Didn’t you say you’d get weakness info in the exiles of the scholars?”
“There are two weaknesses.”
“Yeah?”
“But it’s a bit of a gimmick, I can’t explain it all here. If you search for it, you'll be shocked at how vile those bastards are, and you'll faint.”
 

[Spoiler Master donated 10,000 won!]
"Yes, I’m going to spoil. Among the Demon King’s weaknesses, there’s a tradition that ‘no demon can kill the Demon King.’ When you get this info, most people are already demons themselves ^^"
“Whoa, what?”
“In a game powered by demon legends, demons can’t beat the Demon King?”
“Crazy.”
“But the Silent Swordsman is human.”
“Yeah, so if it’s not the human route, it’s impossible to clear.”
“They said they’ll reveal the weakness, but they didn’t say you can execute it.”
“No lies were told, though, haha. You idiots.”
“The developers are ruthless.”
“But if it has horns, isn’t it a demon?”
“Could it be half-demon?”
“Considering the immortal talk, it seems to count as an immortal, not a demon.”
 
To defeat the Demon King, one must gain the power of a demon and break through the frontlines, but the trap of the Demon King’s tradition prevents this.
The paradox of throwing away the weak, fleeting human blood to gain power, only to find that it is this very blood that can end the tragedy of the half-demon realm.
The greatest enemy of the half-demon realm, the Demon King, cannot be defeated through normal growth.

“How many people have managed to defeat the Demon King on the pure human route?”
“Almost none.”
“Excluding Speedmaster, maybe only a handful of people.”
“So the first playthrough human route?”
“Wouldn’t think so.”
“That person’s not just human, they’re a hero.”
“Really, the epitome of a superhuman.”
 
The first phase of the Demon King’s avatar is quickly pushed back.
[Demon King’s Avatar]
[Phase 2 – Legacy Usage]

The ominous dark aura of the Demon King’s true form surges, and the surrounding energy flies towards the Silent Swordsman in dozens of bursts.
“!!”
That is dangerous.
Ha Eung Eung instinctively senses the danger, and her right horn glows with the brightness of the sun.

[Dragonic Magic]
[Horn – Sun’s Horn]
[Exorcising Heaven’s Light]
The heavenly light that drives away all evil forces.
One of the oldest attributes of the sun shines and dispels the corrupt aura.
[Mild.]
“?!”
[The will that doesn’t retreat even in the face of the darkness turned away from the sun.]

The footsteps that had freely swept the ground now slam hard into the floor with a sudden jolt.
[For now, the left foot. Let’s seal that pesky movement.]
[Legacy – Gladiator’s Shackles]

A legacy that blocks both the enemy’s and your own foot movements simultaneously.
Because of the restrictions, the binding power of the Silent Swordsman’s movements was completely sealed.
“Such an annoying ability.”
Ha Eung Eung, unable to evade, is frozen in place.
The attacks from the Demon King’s avatar come crashing down like a tidal wave.

The battlefield is a brutal wave of violence, where even a small human body would be torn apart in an instant!
“Oh my God.”
“Isn’t this a one-hit kill pattern?”
“This is bad.”
“Well fought though.”
“Mk-2, are you watching?”
 
[Mk-Ⅱ donated 10,000 won!]
"Yes, I’m watching."

“Wow, you were really watching haha.”
“It’s soon your turn!”
“Will things change with Mk-2?”
“You’d need at least a million Mk’s to compete.”
“The Demon King’s avatar does what the King of the Abyss couldn’t do in one hit.”
“Are you watching, King of the Abyss?”
 
[King of the Abyss donated 10,000 won!]
"Yes."
“Why is everyone here?”
“Username change, wtf?”
“But why isn’t it dead?”
 

The Silent Swordsman, who was certain to die from a one-hit kill, surprisingly did not perish.
Instead, the effects of being hit kept triggering one after another.
“Impossible to dodge, super close-range combat!”
“The attack effects are skyrocketing!”
“Critical effects are still appearing!”
“Doesn’t the Demon King have critical immunity?”
“That’s not immunity, the demons it absorbed take the critical hits for it.”
“Why is it happening now?”
“Looks like the hits are landing continuously before the demons can intercept.”
“Why aren’t the effects showing for the Silent Swordsman?”
“Slowed down to 0.01 speed, but the hits are all being blocked while landing damage.”
“Crazy.”
“This guy is literally a superhuman.”
 
“Annoying, but that’s all.”

The Silent Swordsman, already a master in pure physical strength, remained invincible even against the Demon King’s avatar.
Her mastery remained unchanged, even against the powerful Demon King’s avatar.
The strength of the Demon King’s avatar, which struggled to match her, was astonishing!
[Demon King’s Avatar]
[Great Demon Slayer’s Murderous Fighting Arts]
[Great Demon Slaughter]
[Legacy – Cursed Right Arm]
[Legacy – Returning Puppet]
[Legacy – Ghost Beneath the Feet]

The countless legacies of the former lover, the Great Demon Slayer, who played with awareness and perception.
The power he absorbed beneath his feet, betraying and subjugating, now surged within him.
“Yes. This is the least I can do.”
The stress that had built up slowly drained away as she felt relief.
The ease.
The refreshment.
It gave the Demon King’s avatar a great shock.
This was not an encounter prepared with an easy difficulty or a casual mindset.
It was an all-out battle.
The Demon King’s avatar, in its highest form, felt her full power. Yet, despite all of it, the human before her could not be defeated.

“No matter how powerful the total amount of strength accumulated by the original body, how is it that this demon body, made of tens of thousands of demons, is not overwhelming but instead retreating?”
The fight that should have ended with the demon king’s avatar falling to traps and weakness exploitation now was facing a head-on clash with the Silent Swordsman and starting to lose.
