Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

Chapter 151: Handwritten

“…”

Apart from the sound of footsteps, a quiet silence flowed in the corridor.

It was natural, since both sides did not trust each other at all, even though they somehow agreed to cooperate.

In the meantime, the Ice Flame Sword Horse, who was walking in the front, opened his mouth.

“We’re almost there. That’s the end of this cave.”

Swoosh!

A little light leaked out along with the sound of waves where he pointed.

The bottom floor of the Black Tortoise Cave was connected to the sea.

The figures of the Righteous Alliance who came out through the corridor let out a faint exclamation.

“This place exists…”

“Was this cave built inside a cliff?”

What they came out of the corridor was a wide hollow that looked about a hundred meters long and wide.

The bottom of the hollow was a sheer cliff, and the waves were still raging due to the bad weather. But except for the corridor they had come through, there was nothing but sea and rocks wherever they looked left and right.

‘Do we have to jump into the sea from here?’

Nangong Ilcheon, who had a question, opened his mouth.

“Leader, what is this place?”

But the answer was not given by Eurius.

The Ice Flame Sword Horse, who was staring at the front with a cold expression, spat out a word.

“It’s coming.”

“…!?”

Swoosh!

Suddenly, something huge jumped out of the sea with a clanging sound. Then it landed in the hollow with a heavy noise.

Thud!

The first thing that came from the huge figure was a creepy glare. No matter how brave one was, they would feel their spine chill when they saw six eyes shining like torches in the dark.

“Gasp!”

“What is this?”

The experts of the Righteous Alliance retreated in surprise. It was at least tens of meters high from the sea to this cliff’s hollow, but that monster jumped up so lightly.

“Grrr…”

“Keeek!”

“Kraaang!”

The monster had one body, but strangely enough, three kinds of roars echoed. Eurius nodded his head as he confirmed the monster.

“As expected… It has three heads, huh?”

The monster’s shape resembled a lizard, but its body was much thicker. And the most peculiar point was that it had three heads.

This monster was the last obstacle of the Black Tortoise Cave.

[Three-headed Dragon (SS-rank Spirit Beast) – A mutated form of an ancient spirit beast that has been dormant for over a thousand years. It is very cunning and intelligent as its three heads share thoughts.]

As he said, the Three-headed Dragon did not rush to attack the intruders like a normal spirit beast.

Rather, it rolled its six blue eyes and observed the figures of the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect.

“Grrr…”

‘It looks like it’s judging who’s more appetizing.’

Eurius gave a bitter smile and drew his sword and slowly walked towards the Three-headed Dragon.

The Ice Flame Sword Horse followed him and confirmed the plan again.

“The method you mentioned earlier is correct, right?”

“Of course. I don’t know, but the help message doesn’t lie.”

“Help message?”

“There’s such a thing.”

Eurius calmly answered and approached near the Three-headed Dragon. Nangong Ilcheon also came forward with a tense expression.

“I’ll trust you, leader.”

It was meaningless to rush in as a group in a fight against this kind of spirit beast.

Moreover, this spirit beast was not something that could be caught by doing so.

“As I said before, we have to hit its heads almost at the same time…”

“Kraaang!”

Eurius had not even opened his mouth when the Three-headed Dragon pounced on him with a terrifying momentum.

It seemed to intend to swallow him in one breath with its mouth wide open.

“Eek!”

The Three-headed Dragon was so huge that there was no place to avoid left and right. Eurius hastily jumped into the air. But that was what this cunning monster was aiming for.

“Keeek!”

The remaining two heads opened their mouths.

They were about to fire what they called breath.

Swoosh!

A jet of water with a terrible pressure spewed out of one mouth, and a suspicious green liquid spewed out of the other mouth.

Crack!

The high-pressure jet of water hit the wall of the cliff directly.

It had enough power to shave off a thick rock in an instant.

And the identity of the green liquid was acid.

Sizzle!

“Leader!”

The figures of the Righteous Alliance stared at the front with a pale expression as they saw the hard rock covered with acid melt like butter.

“Grrr?”

But surprisingly, Eurius was already gone where the breath hit.

The Three-headed Dragon felt something suspicious and quickly tried to back away.

Boom!

“Keeek!”

The head that spewed acid suddenly shattered.

Eurius, who had escaped skillfully with a spatial jump, had ambushed from behind.

It was a head protected by hard scales, but it could not withstand being hit by someone like Eurius without defense.

The Three-headed Dragon seemed to stagger back after losing one head. But soon the remaining two heads roared and showed their ferocity.

“Kraaang!”

At the same time, Eurius sent a signal.

“Now!”

“Tsk!”

The Ice Flame Sword Horse acted.

A sword in his right hand with flames flickering and cold air swirling in his left hand!

As soon as he clenched both swords, the two energies collided and brought out an enormous destructive power.

Zap!

The Ice Flame Sword Horse’s sword smashed the remaining two heads.

As soon as he swung his sword with great power, the two heads exploded.

Among the superhumans gathered here, Nangong Ilcheon did not even have a chance to use his hand as he destroyed all three heads.

The Ice Flame Sword Horse’s destructive power was so great that Eurius licked his tongue as he saw it.

‘That was the technique that destroyed the shell of the turtle spirit beast on the upper floor.’

[Harmonious Force – A martial art that brings out repulsion by colliding two opposite attributes. If your achievement is low, you may get injured by the repulsion.]

‘He doesn’t only use martial arts from Jujak Sect, but also something like that? Then…’

Eurius fell into thought about the identity of the Ice Flame Sword Horse for a moment. But that thought did not last long.

“Damn it! Is it regenerating again?”

As he said, the Three-headed Dragon was still alive even after losing all three heads.

It grew bones and flesh from its neck at an astonishing speed.

At this point, it was not regeneration but resurrection.

The Ice Flame Sword Horse shouted with an angry expression.

“Didn’t you say that we just have to destroy all three heads? It’s regenerating again?”

“Huh? That can’t be…”

Eurius muttered stupidly without knowing it.

[Three-headed Dragon – The core moves to another head when a head is destroyed. Destroy all three heads before they regenerate.]

‘Then does it mean literally destroying them at the same time?’

Anyway, feeling the sharp gaze of the Ice Flame Sword Horse, he swung his sword horizontally with an awkward face.

“Gurk?”

Chop!

This time, all three heads were cut off at once.

Eurius cut them off simultaneously with spatial severance.

Spatial severance also had the effect of temporarily disabling regeneration, so he stared at the Three-headed Dragon with an expectant expression.

But.

“Krrrrk!”

“Kieeek!”

“…”

“You bastard…”

Namgoong Ilcheon looked at Eurius with a subtle expression, while the Ice Flame Sword Demon glared at him with a murderous gaze.

Eurius had nothing to say, even if he had ten mouths instead of three like that bastard.

The three heads regenerated in less than a minute.

‘How could the help message lie to me?’

Swoosh!

“Eek!”

He dodged the breath that came at him again and hastily opened the help message.

[You are viewing the information on Black Tortoise Cave.]

[Black Tortoise – The place where Black Tortoise’s manual is sealed. However, the seal is not complete and some of the power leaks out. The manual has several times the effect of normal training, so the sea spirits fight over this area.]

“Manual?”

According to the map, this three-headed dragon was the ruler of Black Tortoise Cave.

‘Then that explains his regeneration ability.’

In other words, his regeneration ability was not his own power, but the power of Hyunmu Bidong that was constantly supplied from somewhere. But Eurius could not see any place that felt like the source of that power.

‘The bottom is a raging sea and the sides are cliffs. Where should I go?’

Vroom.

Eurius felt the intense vibration of the Yellow Dragon Sword in his hand and came to his senses.

‘Why?’

[…]

But the Yellow Dragon Sword did not answer.

However, it shook madly in his hand and tried to get out.

Vroom!

‘Why are you doing this?’

“Kieee!”

“Whoa!”

While Eurius was distracted by the Yellow Dragon Sword, the three-headed dragon did not stay still.

Whirr!

Its huge body slammed into Eurius.

He barely dodged it. But the sword’s shaking became stronger and stronger.

‘What’s going on?’

Eurius let go of the Yellow Dragon Sword with a puzzled expression.

It felt like his hand would be torn apart if he held it any longer.

The sword had a mind of its own, but it never exerted this much force before. Suddenly, the sword’s shaking became tens or hundreds of times stronger.

Vroom!

The Yellow Dragon Sword that floated in the air even emitted a faint light.

Zing!

“…!?”

Splash!

“No way, you crazy!”

It was unbelievable and absurd for Eurius.

Surprisingly, the Yellow Dragon Sword plunged into the deep sea.

The current state of the sea was obviously dangerous with violent currents and waves.

In an instant, dozens of thoughts flashed through Eurius’s mind, but there was only one conclusion.

Eurius shouted urgently to Namgoong Ilcheon.

“I’ll be back soon! Just hold on here for a while!”

“What?”

Namgoong Ilcheon widened his eyes as if he wondered what Eurius was talking about, but he was shocked by what happened next.

“Great Master!”

Clang!

Eurius jumped off the cliff that was tens of meters high and plunged into the sea.

It seemed like a reckless choice, but it was the best he could do.

‘Judging by how Magyo escaped safely earlier, that monster can’t chase us inside the tunnel.’

He was slightly worried about what Bingyeom Sword Devil would do, but he also knew that he had exhausted a lot of his strength from the consecutive battles with Samduryong.

As long as Namgoongilcheon was still there, he could hold on until he came back.

Eurius dived into the water and looked for his sword.

‘There it is.’

Yellow Dragon Sword was emitting a faint golden light, making it easy to spot in the dark water.

He was not a professional swimmer, but he was a formidable warrior who could move in the water without much difficulty.

He quickly closed the distance between him and Yellow Dragon Sword.

Yellow Dragon Sword was swimming like a fish in the sea, leaving behind a trail of gold.

“Daehyeop?”

Meanwhile, Namgoongilcheon was staring at the spot where Eurius had jumped off with a dumbfounded expression. But there was another pair of eyes that had been watching Eurius’s movements with a cold and calm gaze from the beginning.

Those eyes scanned the surrounding cliffs.

‘There’s nothing here. Jumping into the sea, could it be…’

It was Bingyeom Sword Devil.

He looked at the cliff where Eurius had disappeared with a suspicious eye.

“Krrrrr!”

“Kieeek!”

The next one to think about Eurius was Samduryong.

The ancient spirit, who had more intelligence than most humans, exchanged thoughts with its three heads and came to a conclusion.

[Run?]

[Underwater.]

[Let’s go after him!]

Samduryong was originally a water dragon that lived in the sea.

For him, the water was his home turf.

And Eurius, who had jumped into it, looked like the most delicious prey.

Spirits could gain a lot of power by swallowing humans who had accumulated a lot of internal energy through training.

“Krrrrk!”

Splash!

Samduryong also followed Eurius into the water, leaving behind the other people in confusion.

“What are we supposed to do now?”

Bingyeom Sword Devil seized the opportunity and quickly ordered his subordinates.

“Block the way so that those Jeongdo Alliance bastards can’t get in.”

“…”

Swoosh!

Iceflame Sword Demon blocked the path to the sea in an instant.

At the same time, Bingyeom Sword Devil also jumped into the water.

It took a long time to explain, but all these actions happened in less than a minute.

The Jeongdo Alliance people, who had no clue what was going on, could only watch this situation with a bewildered expression.

‘What on earth is happening here?’
