Chapter 430
Episode 430
‘Amazing.’
Jin Hyeong-gon, a middle-aged man who vigorously shook the blood off his iron gun, let out a low exclamation.
The power of the formation created by Sima Yun was amazing.
I thought that the gin made by a proper gin expert was so different.
Enemies trapped within the activated camp could not sense their presence.
On the other hand, he could sense their presence, albeit faintly.
‘Just by doing that, you can gain an overwhelming advantage.’
It was not possible to know the opponent’s location like reading the palm of one’s hand.
However, this alone was enough.
Just by following the vaguely felt demonic energy and launching an attack, the target’s life could be taken.
They were defeating the enemies so easily that it seemed like it was foul play.
‘The number of warriors guarding this place, including me, is five.’
It was a number that could never be said to be large.
However, I didn’t have the slightest feeling that there was a lack of power.
Even if there were some experts in fireworks among the attackers, it seemed like it would be worth a shot under these conditions.
thud!
A heavy repulsive force was transmitted through the raised iron gun.
The sensation of hitting a solid wall rather than a human body.
In Jin Hyeong-gon’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.
‘This one is a little different from others.’
I thought I had it for sure.
In the nick of time, I tilted my head back and avoided the attack.
It literally had reflexes like those of an animal.
‘Are you a disciple of the Hundred-Faced Reaper?’
Naturally, I felt wary.
I thought about pressing hard to check, but decided not to.
The advice I received from Simaun beforehand flashed through my mind.
[If there is a person who is suspected to be a disciple of the Hundred-Faced Reaper, do not try to catch them too much, but leave them alone for now.] [To leave them alone?]
[
Isn’t he an expert in the flower world? There’s nothing wrong with being careful.]
[That’s true.]
[There’s no reason to overdo it. If you leave it alone until you get tired of it and later join the others and work together, you will be able to easily suppress it.] ‘
There is no way to know for sure whether this person is a disciple of the White Faced Reaper or not. It is realistically impossible for me to distinguish between monsters that deceive even the sword king’s senses. But…’
Just by looking at the movements shown a moment ago, it was clear that the opponent was a top-level expert.
It is said that this side has the advantage thanks to the fighting method, but if the opponent is a high-level expert, they could quickly sense it and counterattack.
Here, it would have been better to follow Sima Yun’s advice and retreat.
Jin Hyeong-gon, who retrieved Cheol-gon, muttered with cold eyes.
‘I’ll force you into it thoroughly.’
* * *
Kwajangchang!
The masked people who broke the paper door and entered the room narrowed their eyes.
I couldn’t see the target that was supposed to be there.
“Chilho.”
“yes.”
“Didn’t you say that the target was injured and spends most of the day here?”
The man called Chilho had a look of bewilderment on his face.
I did my research properly in advance.
The target, Lee Soo-yeon, had not yet healed from an injury sustained in Banghyeon.
Since he had recovered to some extent, he left Shinsindang and was recuperating in a private lodging, but that was all.
It was far from perfect.
‘But.’
I felt like I was possessed by a ghost.
Normally, she would have been sleeping soundly in bed, but she suddenly disappeared.
When I submitted my report to the captain three days ago, I thought things would be resolved easily.
“Let me explain how this happened. “If you cannot convince me, you will have to prepare yourself.”
Chilho’s shoulders trembled as his eyes looked as if they were going to eat him.
Cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck.
Here, a sense of crisis came over me that if I gave the wrong answer, I would die.
Tiring! Ding!
It was then.
A soft and clear melody that did not fit the situation penetrated the ears of the masked people.
The first to sense a sense of danger and raise his guard was the man at the rear.
“Everyone run…!”
Pow!
Before he could finish speaking, his head exploded into pieces.
The complexions of the masked people turned white as they saw meat flying in all directions.
“Music skill!”
“Damn it! “The identity of the person attacking us now is…!”
A cruel scene contrasted with the beautiful sound of the performance.
The man, Chilho, collapsed in place, bleeding in the Seven Balls, sighing in his heart.
In my blurred vision, I saw the images of my colleagues falling down.
‘I should have run away quickly before I had time to think of an excuse.’
* * *
“The outside is cleared.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
“It’s all worth the trouble.”
Yeo Hwayeon, the woman who closed the door with a lead sword, spoke in an indifferent tone.
Even though she had been stabbed, there was not a single drop of blood on her clothes.
It was a cross section that revealed just how big the gap between her and the attackers was.
“Thank you for protecting us.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
Yeo Hwayeon, who responded to the polite thank you, let out an inward exclamation as she looked at the woman sitting across from her.
Seo Moon-hye.
A person who becomes the wife of the Thunder King and the mother of Dok Go-seong.
He looked much younger than I had vaguely imagined.
They couldn’t possibly look like parents with a fully grown child.
It occurred to me that the age gap between me and my husband was quite significant.
‘Elegance is evident in the way he speaks and behaves. ‘He probably grew up receiving a strict education.’
I recognized it the moment we first met.
That she is the daughter of a famous family.
Who influenced Dok Go-seong to develop such tendencies?
‘Now that I think about it, I think I’ve come across the family name Seomun Sega somewhere.’
Was this a family that recently donated a large amount of money to Bothaam?
I remembered briefly hearing about the Gwonmun family, who had held government positions in the imperial family for generations.
Perhaps the woman in front of me was a noble person with a great social background.
“I heard that you are joining the Cheonan Inspectorate.”
“yes.”
“Thank you for your kind words. “He may be lacking in many ways, but he has a good heart.”
“It may be presumptuous, but I think it would be okay for you to be a little more proud of your child. “I’m not just saying this, you have a really great son.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Dok Go-seong, who was watching the conversation between the two women in the corner, got a headache.
I couldn’t stand it because it was so hot that I was wearing gold paint on my face.
‘I wish I knew it would be like this.’
Instead of waiting indoors just in case, I should have gone outside and dealt with the attackers.
Geomhu, who was staring with narrowed eyes at Dok-go-seong, who was sighing quietly, suddenly spoke.
“I was just wondering, but as expected, none of those who flocked here were disciples of the Hundred-Faced Reaper.”
“Is that so?”
“It seems like he went somewhere else. “The most likely direction is the direction where Cheonan Gambu’s base is located?”
“If it’s there, you won’t have to worry. “I heard that Brother Samaun was determined and prepared a defense.”
Puff poop!
Yeo Hwayeon went to the window and looked up at the sky and nodded.
Signal fireworks were lighting up the air.
This meant that the members of Cheonan Gambu, who were stationed in different locations, safely repelled the attackers.
“It’s slowly coming to an end. “It would be a good idea for us to take our wives and move to another place.”
* * *
‘Why are you so anxious? This is what happened in the end.’
In pitch black darkness.
The man who was sitting under the eaves and looking around frowned.
You could tell just by looking at the fireworks shooting up from everywhere.
The Cheonan Inspectorate noticed their presence and was fully prepared.
‘You’re welcome. It would have been dangerous if I hadn’t sneaked out in the middle.’
The price of working recklessly without sufficient preparation was high.
The worst thing I feared happened.
‘It wasn’t that difficult to bring those waiting outside into the Murim Alliance. The problem was what happened next.’
I knew from the beginning that it was an unreasonable mission.
Mujon Eumgwi Dragon King.
There were three absolute masters residing in the group.
Isn’t it easier said than done to avoid their attention?
Perhaps, even if the elites of the Baekdo martial arts group invaded the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, a similar situation would have unfolded.
‘The priest should be considered either already dead or captured.’
From the beginning, he was an outcast.
Master knew from the beginning.
That he has thoughts of killing himself and taking his place.
That’s why they decided to kick him out under the pretext of a mission.
‘You idiot.’
The foolish priest only saw the world through a narrow perspective.
Therefore, it was thrown around after being swayed here and there.
‘I am different.’
The priest may not have known it, but he had already been recognized by his teacher.
In the future, the person who would follow in his teacher’s footsteps and serve Lord Ma was none other than himself.
‘I will survive.’
Although he abandoned his subordinates and ran away alone, he did not feel the slightest hint of guilt.
If there is no hope, shouldn’t we just step aside and plan for the next time?
Throwing away one’s life to protect loyalty was something only a fool would do.
If it’s not the best, do the next best thing.
I have already thought of a way to overcome the current hopeless situation.
‘The situation has already reached the center of the Murim Alliance’s territory. ‘It’s hard to run away.’
I had to look at reality calmly.
When the elite warriors of Meng made up their minds and set out on a mission to conquer heaven, no matter how confident they were, there was no answer.
‘It’s only a matter of time before it is revealed that I am a member of the Demonic Cult.’
If we cross-examine the names of the dead and the applicants, we will be able to quickly identify suspects.
He had to do something before the members of Cheonan Gambu came to arrest him.
‘They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’
The teacher taught himself and said this.
If you can’t run, jump into the crowd.
If it was impossible to escape outside the Murim Alliance, they had to find collaborators inside and hide even deeper.
‘The Dragon King has many political enemies. ‘Recently, there was friction with the elders of the Meng and the relationship was completely strained.’
A string was made to prepare for such a situation.
A string that will allow you to contact one of the elders.
Although he was not a leader, he knew very well what the elders were like.
A hotbed of corruption.
A pest that eats away at white peach trees.
A vested interest that divides the power of the Murim Alliance.
Old monsters who will do anything for their own benefit.
Now that the influence of Cheonan Gambuh was growing uncontrollably, the elders would desperately need someone to do the dirty work for them.
If you offered to take on that role, he was sure to show interest.
“what!”
“What’s going on!”
For a while, I looked down at the bandits who had come outside, drawn by the noise, and were busy walking around.
The man disappeared as if he was melting into the darkness.
“omg!”
“What are these things!”
“Magi! “Did a demonic cult infiltrate the headquarters?”
The bandits who realized that there was an invasion by an external enemy let out cries of surprise.
The noisy dawn passed like that.
