My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 324

〈 Title Exhibition (1) 〉

Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province.

The city, not far from Songshan, had maintained relative stability even as the world was descending into chaos.

The efforts of the Shaolin Temple to care about the people’s livelihood even under difficult circumstances, befitting its reputation as the Taesanbukdu of the martial arts world, had a great influence even on the nearby sects, who had no choice but to pay attention to them.

Of course, the effect weakens rapidly the further away you are from Shaolin Temple, and in provinces other than Henan, there were many people who committed evil acts under the name of Shaolin’s secular sect… but it was adjacent to

Seongsan and was a provincial capital. Jeongju Han was paying special attention to Shaolin Temple, so there was no worry in that regard.

And near the border of the settlement, from a position where the shape of the city can be vaguely seen in the distance—.

“Heung! “I made it this far.”

The man with dirty, long hair scratched his wild beard and frowned.

“It feels like I was somehow taken advantage of by someone’s trick, right? Now that I think about it, I think I may have been too hasty.”

He paused for a moment, crossing his arms and contemplating something, then quickly shook his head and resumed his steps.

I’ve come this far, but now I can’t go back, right?

Plus, he knew himself well.

Since I have already verified the facts myself by coming here, I know that even if I could turn back time, I would make the same choice I made this time.

‘Yes, after listening to it, it seems like there is quite a bit of skill.’

The two eyes shining through the gap in the hair that covered the front of my eyes burned brightly.

What dwells within it is vivid anger.

He growled lowly like a wild animal whose territory was being invaded, without even trying to hide his emotions.

“How dare you impersonate this body? …No, looking at his actions, I don’t think his goal is simply impersonation.”

Crumbling—

As he slowly moved forward, a stone beneath his feet crumbled into powder.

The energy naturally radiating from his body crushed the surrounding bushes and pressed them to the ground.

“After all, this is about fighting. “You’re telling me you’re so confident that you provoked me and made me come?”

A wild smile appeared on the face that was muttering softly.

He was also so aggressive that he would get up from his sleep if there was a fight.

“Phew, then shall we see your face?”

His name is Mok In-gwang.

He was a man known to the public by the nickname ‘Gwangma’.

***

Gwangma (狂魔) Crazy devil.

It was a nickname that clearly revealed Mokin-gwang’s rebellious tendencies.

If there was something he didn’t like, he wouldn’t hesitate to attack and bite like a mad dog.

In the process, not only did he use any means possible, but he even sacrificed his life more than once to punish his opponents.

Due to his vicious nature of attacking not only righteous and evil, but also the size of power, it was inevitable that danger and death would always lurk around him.

If his skills had been slightly lacking, he would have been forgotten as one of the world’s many idiots…

‘I’m still alive and well like this.’

He proudly overcame all crises and used them as a foundation for growth, and was able to stand tall as one of the strongest men in the entire martial arts world.

It was around that time that he, who started off with the insignificant nickname of Mad Dog, ended up being called Gwangma.

In this chaotic world, how great it is to live the way you want without being swayed by your surroundings!

And doesn’t the fact that he’s still alive and well after acting like that represent his value?

‘But…’

Therefore, the weight of his star name was never light for Mo In-gwang.

It was the trajectory of his life, a medal to prove his intense life, and a proof of himself that he had reached in the end.

“How dare you touch that?”

Two days.

This was the time it took for him to arrive in Jeongju, Henan Province, to pinpoint the location of the criminal.

Wedge—

His body quickly cut through the wind and crushed space.

Of course, the information he just obtained did not come from his own efforts.

Where many people gather, people doing secret work are bound to hide, and among them, there are those who handle information professionally.

All he did was find them and ask for their cooperation in a very kind and gentle way.

‘I didn’t know you were that capable.’

Even though the intelligence organization was entrusted with it not long ago, they reported in detail the target’s past movements and their estimated current location.

Even if the other person had recently been a person of interest, I didn’t expect that he could do that much in such a short period of time.

‘You’re lucky.’

Mokin-kwang grinned and raised the corners of his mouth.

Now, more than 20 years have passed since the imperial palace incident occurred.

It took a lot of luck to find useful people among the intelligence organizations that had sprung up all over the place after the fall of the beggars’ defense system, Openness.

But things were going smoothly from the start, so I couldn’t have felt bad.

‘If openness had been maintained, things would have been easier.’

But that was unavoidable.

Begging can only be done if there are people who can afford it.

In this ugly world where it was difficult for everyone to live, there was no way for a group where most of the members were ordinary beggars without any special abilities to function properly.

In the end, lower-ranking groups either left to find their own way or became independent, led by middle-level executives with martial arts skills or knowledge, and the name of openness had long since become obsolete.

‘Well, I’m fine with the details. If it’s not here, you can go back and beat them up some more… and take good care of them.’

He raced so quickly and arrived at a mountain on the road leading to Jeongju, his eyes shining.

It has finally arrived.

Where there is a squire who impersonates him and will kill him.

And when he climbed the mountain and reached a certain point.

Fortunately for the members of the intelligence organization, they no longer have to fear Gwangma’s return visit.

“ok? “What are you?”

At the entrance to the mountain lodge he had just arrived at.

Because it was a lonely, carefree being that did not blend in with the surrounding landscape, which had already been torn apart as if it had been torn apart.

‘…It’s him.’

I could tell at a glance.

That the author is the person who personally brought him to this point.

“hmm? Looking at you, are you a bandit too? Hey, it’s green! The level of bandits these days is very high? This thing is no match for these enemies! Kahahaha!”

Even though he was faced with an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared, he didn’t seem particularly surprised and moved around like a well-fed predator without feeling the slightest sense of tension.

No, it wasn’t just the attitude that was different.

‘Is this guy from outside the country?’

Mo In-gwang, who was born and raised only in the central plains, seemed unfamiliar and even grotesque in his appearance, looking like a primitive tribesman from a remote area. He frowned without realizing it.

However, he took a moment to reflect on the purpose of coming here and slowly walked forward.

“Okay, that’s not important right now.”

“Okay, so you’re here to take revenge on your subordinates, right?”

“The trash here is really good. “I came all this way because I had something to do with you.”

“huh?”

Mokin-gwang, who was offended by the sight of him tilting his head blankly as if he knew nothing, slowly gained momentum and muttered lowly.

“Gwangma.”

“Why are you calling me…”

“That’s my nickname.”

“…oh?”

“I used someone else’s property as I wanted, so now I have to pay for it, right?”

“…….”

silence.

After that brief question and answer, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

“therefore-.”

However, Mokin-gwang, who had paused for a moment, spoke again as if growling.

“Let’s see if you’re worthy of it.”

“Phew!”

At his last words, Harley’s mouth, who had shown a calm demeanor the entire time she was here, was torn apart below both ears.

And then, little by little, teeth as sharp as sawtooths appeared through the cracks of the mouth, which could not be considered human at all.

“Ahhh-! understood. Hehehehe— I was rude? Yes, I am a guest who came all the way here. “Hehehe.”

I can’t hold back the laughter that escapes me.

At the same time, the atmosphere surrounding him began to change drastically.

“I was planning on visiting you sometime, but I never thought you would come visit me in person like this. “Thanks to you, it saved me a lot of trouble.”

A light haze rose from his body.

Coo coo coo—

As the atmosphere trembled, the surrounding air slowly boiled.

Although his appearance was clearly the same as before, the unidentified energy that had begun to spread around him made him appear to be a completely different being than before.

From a well-fed beast that was lying down enjoying the feeling of fullness right after the hunt.

An inexplicable monster who shows interest in a new toy just around the corner.

Goosebumps—

Of course, the person who felt the change most clearly was Mokin-gwang, who was facing him right in front.

As the violence hidden inside Harley began to unfold in earnest, a sense of crisis naturally rose to the top, and as a result, her senses were sharpened and sharpened to no end.

‘her.’

At that point, I began to feel it so clearly that I couldn’t just ignore it.

The true madness that is deep and heavy and whose end is unknown that the other person carries within their body.

‘This is ridiculous. A person harbors something like that? No, before that, you can maintain your sanity to the point where you can have a normal conversation?’

Is that really possible?

It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing.

In the meantime, my instincts cried out endlessly.

It’s really dangerous this time.

If you rush now, the only thing that awaits you is death.

If you run away now, you will have the best chance of survival.

but-.

“Huh…”

He didn’t pay any attention to that instinctive alarm.

Just face the other person and raise the corners of your mouth as high as possible.

I had no intention of backing down now.

‘Since when did I start questioning things like that?’

Somehow, a hearty laugh continued to leak out.

It has always been like that until now.

No matter what threat he faced, he never backed down and attacked without hesitation with the determination to overcome it somehow.

‘And I survived until now.’

Again, this is just one of many threats.

He will prove himself and overcome difficulties like he always has.

And if you really fail…

well, that’s the end of it, right?

Ssyuk—

a moment when the tension was gradually increasing.

Immediately after the two people disappeared from the spot at the same time.

Kwaaaaang—!

A huge afterstorm struck in an instant, and parts of the mountainous vegetation and roots of several trees, which had already been reduced to rubble, were caught in the aftermath and scattered in all directions.

In the center of the explosion, Harley, with his fist outstretched, and Mokin-gwang, whose entire hand was covered with energy, looked into each other’s eyes.

Harley smiled and blurted out in passing.

“Hey, I like your nickname. Can I use it?”

“Kkekekekeut, you’re saying bullshit with such sincerity. There is no such thing as a thief. “Are the bandits lying around here your subordinates?”

“Kahaha! Unfortunately, these guys are below the standard! “I’m willing to accept you, so why not come under my wing?”

“Let’s talk first after paying the overdue price!”

Coooooo—!

The energies of the two sides collided again, causing heavy drinking to erupt and the air to boil.

And as the battle began in earnest, the mood of Mokin-gwang, who had been looking a little bored for a star named Gwang-maran, began to slowly change.

‘Hoo? ‘What about that?’

Harley’s eyes sparkled at the flow of energy occurring in his body and the strange changes that occurred as a result.

The corners of the mouth are wriggling and rising, and the four hundred eyes are fully raised.

The blood vessels all over his body were bristling to the point of hideousness, and the tangible strength in his hands, bent like a rake, assisted in his martial arts techniques and maximized his power.

It took on a bloody shape, like Harley’s hand using physical transformation, and it tore through the air without hesitation, shaking the space in all directions.

Kwaaaang—!

To put it bluntly, the martial arts used by Gwangma could be defined as bizarre.

It was basic to be fast and strong, but it was quite irregular and sensuous.

The Harley was stronger, faster, more durable and had more sense.

The opponent’s attack was disturbing my senses to a strange degree, creating gaps where there were none, and continuing to dig into them.

‘Right. Is this a change or illusion? It’s almost like I’ve never met someone who uses it this well…’

And at that point, he was able to get a sense of what was causing it.

It’s a shame.

On the surface, it looks like he values strength and pleasure, and his actual attacks are based on him, but it’s all a trap to deceive Harley, who has strengths in those areas.

Silly takes advantage of the insidious attack caught in between.

Contrary to its aggressive appearance, it was a very cunning tactic.

‘Of course, it’s of no use unless you can make a valid hit.’

There was no need to embody the scales of a dragon, and just in its current state, his body was already as good as a diamond ingot.

No matter how hard you beat him with the current method, you won’t be able to cause any real damage to him.

In that case, there is no need to rush, just rob him of all his resources and then suppress him for sure….

Wedge—

Then suddenly it occurred to me.

Mokin-gwang’s sword shot as if piercing the air was blocked by Harley’s palm, and immediately the other hand clawed at his arm.

Unlike before, a strangely colored red stream formed.

Kaka-ga-ga-kak-gak—!

A screeching sound resounds, as if metal is being gnawed.

Unlike before, the corners of Harley’s eyes twitched slightly as she was allowed to use her arms.

A few long fingernail marks remained on one of his extremely hard arms.

The wound was soon healed thanks to his resilience, but it was inevitable that the speed of healing was much slower than usual due to the power of regenerative aggravation contained in the river energy.

This is proof that the power of the opponent’s attack far exceeds what was first assumed, and it also means that the efficiency compared to the energy is ridiculously excellent.

‘This guy is quite useful. As expected, it’s a waste…’

Harley, whose eyes sparkled with a more serious attitude than before, looked at the opponent who was attacking him one after another.

A powerful force in the shape of a blade-like claw that flies at you while you are momentarily distracted.

Two Gwangmas with different thoughts clashed head-on over one title.
