Chapter 20 - 20.The Prelude to a Three-Way Battle, and the Butterfly Effect

Each time Seung-chan's blade clashed with Jin Ha-yeong's,space itself warped.

The winds howled violently,and the ground split apart.

The laws of Gangho were trembling.This was no ordinary duel.

This battle… was threatening the balance of the world itself.

The Intervention of the Observers

Then—they revealed themselves from the shadows.

Not martial artists of Murim,but beings who had transcended the very rules of Gangho.They had only watched, until now.

But now—they could watch no longer.

If they didn't intervene,this clash could tear apart the very fabric of this world.

One of them stepped forward.

The moment his presence was revealed,the warping of space halted.

He spoke with a calm voice:

"Stop. Here and now."

But neither Seung-chan nor Jin Ha-yeongwere in any state to listen.

They were already lost in the heat of battle.

Seung-chan vs. Jin Ha-yeong vs. the Observers – The Three-Way Begins

The Observers made a choice.

To protect balance.To take control of this chaos.They would step in.

"So be it. We shall draw our swords as well."

The watchers moved.Beings who stood beyond the laws of Gangho.

At that moment,Seung-chan and Jin Ha-yeong's swords flashed.

This was no longer a fight between two.

A new battlefield had opened.

The Butterfly Effect Unleashed

What ripple effects would this battle cause?

Would the tides of Murim shift?Would the laws of Gangho be rewritten?Or—

Would the world itself collapse?

No one—not even the watchers—knew how this would end.

But one thing was certain:

This was no longer a battle between strong men.This was a war over the very fate of the world.

The three-way battle had begun.

Chapter 63: The Torn Space, and Seung-chan's Choice

Each time their blades clashed,space trembled.

The watchers had stepped in.Their presence brought temporary calm—but it was only an illusion.

Suddenly,space shuddered once more.

The tremors grew violent.A sound—like something was about to shatter.

"This… is not what we anticipated."

The watchers were shaken.They had tried to suppress the two combatants.

But then—

Seung-chan and Jin Ha-yeongturned their swords in the same direction.

Unexpected Alliance, Shifting Chaos

They had viewed each other as enemies.But now, in this moment—they shared the same adversary.

Before the watchers could react,both blades flew toward them.

A searing flash split the space open.

BOOM.

An explosive force tore through the air.Space itself twisted and convulsed.

The watchers were shaken.They hadn't seen this coming.

They never thoughtboth would turn on them.

They were powerful, yes—but not warriors.

They were observers.And that truth came too late.

The Space Rips Apart

Before they could counter,the swords of Seung-chan and Jin Ha-yeong struck.

"If this continues…!"

The barely restored balance of spacewas torn asunder.

And beyond it—

A void. A pitch-black rift.In it, strange characters floated—like remnants of a script.

Was it a record?A trace of the world's creation?

Seung-chan and Jin Ha-yeong stood at the edgeof that torn space.

The Final Strike—And the Victor

The battle wasn't over yet.

They pointed their swords at one another once more.It was time to decide the victor.

Jin Ha-yeong moved first.

His swordplay was precise.His power unmatched.

He was the apex of Murim.

But—

Seung-chan's blade was faster.

It was simple.But unstoppable.

As if it had already been decided.

When their swords clashed for the final time—

Seung-chan's blade grazed Jin Ha-yeong.

Just a sliver of difference.That was enough.

Jin Ha-yeong dropped his sword.His body staggered backward.

Seung-chan had won.

The Watchers in Shock

The watchers were stunned.

"This cannot be…""Jin Ha-yeong was supposed to win.""This outcome… wasn't in the calculations."

They hadn't foreseen this.

They couldn't comprehend it.

Seung-chan—was not meant to win.

And yet—he had.

And now—he walked toward the torn space without hesitation.

Seung-chan's Choice

Jin Ha-yeong, on the ground,watched him in silence.

He reached out a hand,but no longer had the strength to stop him.

Seung-chan didn't look back.

He stood at the edge of the rift,gazing at the swirling characters.

They resembled…the very laws of this world, laid bare.

But he didn't read them.He didn't need to.

He simply walked forward—into the void.

Chapter 64: The Moment He Disappears, and the Flow of Data

64장: 그가 사라지는 순간, 그리고 데이터의 흐름

The space split open.Seung-chan stood before the dark rift.

The observers froze in place.Jin Ha-yeong, too, remained on the ground, watching without a word.

Seung-chan walked forward in silence.Not once did he look back.

With every step he took,the fabric of space twisted—as if something unseen was restructuring itself.

He Disappears

His body entered the rift.

In that moment,the air surrounding him began to tremble.

His outline blurred.His very presence seemed to dissolve.

But this was no ordinary dimensional shift.

His body was not merely disappearing—it was being converted into something else.

Within the rift,invisible lines intersected.

It was a vast current.

From above to below,from below to above—

something endlessly connected was moving.

He took another step.

Then—

A light burst from the crack in space.

The Flow of Data, and Transference

It wasn't just light.Fragments hovered in the air, swirling around him.

Like shards of memory,they formed a vortex that wrapped around Seung-chan's body.

Something was being erased—and rewritten.

His form grew fainter,even the air around him wavered.

From above to below,from below to above—intangible lines streamed through space.

They were rewriting the very structure of this place.

And within them,Seung-chan's existence began to distort.

He was disappearing.But it wasn't simple annihilation.

The Observers' Shock

The watchers recoiled.

"This… isn't a mere transfer.""He's… changing."

They had witnessed countless dimensional shifts before.But this—this was different.

Seung-chan wasn't being moved.He was being reconstructed.

The components of his body were unraveling,rewritten into a new form.

They could no longer stop him.

This had already gone beyond the laws of this world.

Jin Ha-yeong, and the Rising Dread

Jin Ha-yeong clenched his teeth and forced himself up.

But Seung-chan was already halfway gone.

As he stepped deeper into the rift,the space around him collapsed entirely.

Jin Ha-yeong shouted on instinct:

"Seung-chan!"

But his voice—was swallowed by the flow of space.

Seung-chan did not stop.Not once did he look back.

And then—

His form vanished completely.

A New Dimensional Gate Opens

Nothing remained where he had stood.

But—

the strange letters floating in the airbegan to disappear, one by one.

Now, wherever he was heading—

No one knew.

He had vanished.But—

his story was not over.
