Ael swung his hatchet and took down most of the cartel's members but was soon pushed back.
"Lilith!"
"To think that you'd dare bare your fangs at your master, I'll have to whip you back in your place."
Lilith smiled.
Her hand holding a whip filled with torns and ultimately imbued with aura.
"I may be at the veteran stage but it's enough to educate a dog like you."
"You bitch!"
Ael launched himself towards Lilith. Lilith stood there with a grin on her face before swinging her whip at Ael.
The torns latched itself at Ael's shoulder.
"Argh!"
Ael shouted in pain as Lilith tried to pull back the whip with a devious grin.
"You should've known better."
"Hm?"
A rock suddenly flew at her head.
"Who did that!"
Ciro hid in fear but took the courage and picked up more rocks and threw it at her.
"You!"
"Eh?"
As Lilith took a few steps due to rage, she missed the part that she closed the distance between her and Ael.
"Thanks Ciro."
"What?"
Ael grabbed Lilith's arm and circulated his energy to strengthen his grip.
"Let go of me!"
Ael took his hatchet and stabbed it at Lilith's shoulder.
"It hurts! It hurts! Stop!"
"The hell are you saying? This isn't enough."
Ael continued and continued until her body turned into chunks.
Kaiser watched enraged by the scene and used his oppressive energy to force all the people in the vicinity down.
Ael felt the pressure and brought to the ground.
"You I will kill you!"
Kaiser swung his sword at Ri-hyun but was redirected.
He continued to swing it, trying to reach Ri-hyun but was redirected every time by his palm.
"How!"
"You're swordmanship is nothing but trash."
"This is the sword of the Beleville kingdom, how dare you!"
"Sword? That mere swordmanship is nothing but crude."
"Your energy is focused on the sword, not your body. Anybody could've killed you with just their fists."
"And your energy is straining the sword, in other words, it's like a glass sword. It's strong and sharp but it'll break after the swing."
"What are you-"
"Like this."
In a single flick of his fingers, the sword shattered like glass in front of Kaiser.
He took a step back as Ri-hyun started to walk closer.
"Somebody, kill this man!"
The remaining people of the cartel charged at him but their swords started to float and glide through the air as if it had mind of it's own.
"Engrave this on your mind so you wouldn't forget it even after death. This is true swordmanship."
A sword flew to Ri-hyun's hand
Myriad Forms Asura Sword Art: Thunderous Descent
A powerful downward strike landed on the mountain with thunder falling from the heavens accompanying the strike, burning the whole great house and slicing Kaiser in half from the strike.
The people tried to run away but was soon beheaded by the gliding sword.
Ri-hyun stood in front, and shouted,
"Kaiser is dead!"
The slaves exited the house and cheered with tears of joy. Ael cried and Ciro celebrated.
The flowers were soon burnt to ashes to be replaced by vegetables. The hunters gathered the hunted pigs that were kept in the storage and roasted them all at once.
They all feasted in joy and filled their hungry stomaches to the brim with alcohol and meat, as they watched the new morning rise.
"Lord Ri-hyun, please lead our village to prosperity."
Ael along with the villagers and the beggars knelt down.
"Everybody stand up, we have a lot of work to do."
Ri-hyun taught the villagers how to rebuild their houses using his knowledge from when he repaired the houses in his days as a soldier for the Goguryeo empire.
The construction started.
Ri-hyun guided all the villagers in the reconstruction.
"Ael, gather the hunters and the villagers who hasn't participated."
"I'm going to start to a training for this village's security."
"Yes, lord."
Ael gathered all of his brother hunters and the villagers who couldn't help with construction after regaining their strength.
Everyone gathered including Ciro and watched Ri-hyun's movements.
Each strike contained an unbelievable force but with balance to the movements of the feet.
"I will teach you the art of the monks, The Lotus Buddha Art."
They all sat in a lotus position and started to breathe, gathering the energy of the mountains into their bodies, refining it into their internal energy before entering their dantian and circulate their bodies.
Ri-hyun helped the other hunters with their clogged meridians. After unclogging, his attention was drawn to Ciro's physique and the properties of his energy that resembled lightning.
And Ael, who had a body honed from the countless hunts against the beast of the wild. His spirit who has been revived was of like raging monster kept inside him.
"Ciro, Ael, follow me for a second."
"Y-yes!"
"I will follow."
Both of them walked to the peak of the mountain, where the coldest temperature can be felt.
The both of them started to slow down the higher they climbed up, but Ri-hyun didn't feel fatigue nor breathless even when the air started thin down.
As they reached the peak, their heart-rate increased and they started to breathe heavily, trying to gasp for air.
"I will now teach the breathing techniques."
Ciro, was taught the breathing style of the True Heaven Flying Knife art and Ael was taught with the breathing style of the Furious Vajra Fist art.
Ciro inhaled deeply, gathering the energy and refining it in his dantian, circulating the energy like electricity flowing through wires in his blood vessels.
Ael, inhaled deeply and slow, gathering energy into his lower abdomen then an explosive exhale. Maintaining the focus and mental state of Ael due to his barbaric nature.
"With this, hm?"
A screen appeared in front of him.
