The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 400

“Haa… Haa…”

Breathing doesn’t subside.

The beating of his heart was hardly steady.

Was it because the heavenly mountain was silent?

The sound of breathing and the sound of the heart rang in Jinmu’s ears louder than before.

is it over? like this?

I can’t feel it at all to defeat that monster.

that buck

Surrounded by strange excitement, Jinmu struggled to lift his trembling feet.

Jerk, Jeop, Jeop.

His steps gradually quickened, and soon he approached the collapsed Bukri Docheon.

“….”

Painful breathing was heard weakly from Bukri Docheon, who had lost his mind.

Damn old man, he tried his best, but the string is tough.

But it’s good.

I fought to death, but I never wanted him to die.

After seeing him lying down covered in blood, I finally started to realize it.

Kwak.

Jinmu clenched his fists tightly.

“Ugh.”

Because I was immersed in the fight, the pain I hadn’t felt came all at once.

But what does that mean? I won.

Although it is unheard of to admit defeat with his mouth, victory is victory.

A nemesis that was like a ghost from the past.

The always confident and arrogant man now collapses at his feet.

Jinmu finally got the name of the best in the world in his hands.

“Puha…”

The rough breathing stabilized only after he let out his blocked breath.

It’s been a long journey.

A goal that I made up my mind but doubted that I could achieve it.

Finally, Jinmu rose to the highest position of Jeongsama.

What I had to worry about from now on was how wisely I would endure the solitude I had to taste while in this seat of power.

wouldn’t it matter?

Because there are still many interesting things in this world.

Now that Bukridocheon has also been won, shall we take Cheongsang, Cheongwoo Hwangsin, and children to catch the legendary spirits?

10,000 years old, 1,000,000 years old… things like that.

Maybe I’ll be able to meet a guy named Gyo-ryong and give him a shot with Muk-ryong Spirit Won-gong.

Jinmu recalled an exciting idea and turned his head and grinned at those who were looking at him from a distance, as if he were proud.

Anyway, it’s over now.

let’s rest

My body throbs, but what’s the cure?

On a happy day like this, let’s all drink a lot together and spread it comfortably for a few days.

“….”

When the fight between the two ended, everyone watching was speechless.

Didn’t even breathe. It seemed like it had to be.

Shouting at the victors was an insult to the losers who fought their best.

They just looked at the collapsed Bukri Docheon and the towering Jinmu in silence.

The only difference was that the eyes of those who followed Jinmu were full of joy, and those who believed in Bukri Docheon had a deep sense of despair.

dump.

“Sir…”

Only one person.

Ma Gangman knelt down and wept for his defeated master.

The downfall of the master he was loyal to.

The law of the Demonic Cult will no longer care for his lifeline.

Because the defeated can be a threat at any time.

will die together

Even if Jinmu was generous with himself, he would kill himself and die with his master.

Magang held on to the frozen ground of Cheonsan Mountain and made a promise in his heart.

“In the end… was he the person Seonghwa spoke of? The will of the sky was toward the blue light of the south.”

Everyone turned their heads and looked at her at the words of the Heavenly Mountain Goddess who broke through the silence.

The power of her words, which had predicted the rise and fall of the Demonic Cult, further weighed down the drooping shoulders of the Demonic Cultists.

And now, the dream-like situation is starting to come true.

defeated.

to one midfielder.

Luka, the pillar of magic, fell and even the sky collapsed.

Unmanned soldiers sat down and shed tears one after another.

It seemed that everyone couldn’t stand it any longer.

In the meantime, Yeo Baek-gi, the head of the Cheonghwa family, looks at the torch with open eyes.

“I can’t do that!”

“…!”

In his bewilderment, several eyes followed the flag’s fingers toward the torch.

“That one!”

“What nonsense!”

The screams that each person vomited out and the facial expressions that went beyond bewilderment and were close to astonishment.

“Oh no! The torch…”

The celestial priestess raised her head in wonder, and her wrinkled eyes widened.

“Oh no! Block the wind. We must save the torch! Hurry up and gather things to start a fire!”

The voice of the Heavenly Mountain Goddess, who became urgent, rang out loudly.

Whoa…

it’s going off.

The sacred flame of the Demonic Cult, which had endured for a thousand years, was fading as if it had reached the end of its life.

It shouldn’t be.

This was a different issue from the defeat of North Lidocheon.

He was one religious leader, but the holy fire and blue flame was a sacred object that had supported the Demonic Cult.

In the history of the Demonic Cult, the blue flame has never been extinguished.

Of course, come to your own age…

But why?

What does the change of sanctification foretell? Is it the fall of the Demonic Cult?

or not?

While the women of the priestess who received the order were busy moving, the goddess of heaven turned her head with a distorted expression.

“…!”

A change was detected in her watchful eyes.

“School… the head?”

* * *

thump thump thump….

There was a sound like something being pounded in the abyss.

It’s definitely not a voice, so why does it feel like it’s calling your name?

The sound grew louder and closer, approaching so close that my ears rang.

And soon, it stopped in front of Bukri Docheon.

Buk Li Docheon, who opened his eyes, looked at something approaching while crouching.

An object that looks particularly dark even in the dark.

What are you? And where is this place?

Did you hear the sound of my heart?

As he creates a shimmer, he hears a voice he’s never heard before.

No, I didn’t hear it with my ears, but it was clearly engraved in my head as if I was imprinting letters.

“What a stupid question. This place is inside your heart.」

“Inside your heart?”

“Yes.”

“I see. Well, I’ve lost my mind.”

Conversing with someone in the heart was a miraculous thing, but Bukridocheon just smiled and sat down.

“How is it? How does it feel to have been horribly

defeated?

”

However, the black shadow shuddered as if it had heard the answer and spoke again.

“Are you going to sit down like this?

”

The voice of Bukri Docheon, which was spit out through his mouth for the first time, did not contain any power.

“A losing fight? funny. You should know?」

“What are you talking about?”

“Isn’t it still there? Your strength.」

A question appeared on Bukri Docheon’s face.

Power… left?

However, he soon smiled and shook his head.

“does not exist. no more.”

“Do you really think so?”

“…?”

“I am a being who has lived for a thousand years. You know better than anyone about things that contain demonic energy. You say no, but I can feel the terrible despair of defeat.」

Bukri Docheon frowned at the shadow’s evaluation.

“What are you?”

“Don’t you know?”

“….”

Was it an illusion that the shimmering moments before looked like a smile?

“You gave me the name Blue Flame.”

“Blue Seonghwa?”

“okay. The name you guys call me.」

“…”

What kind of nonsense is this?

Blue flames are living beings? Not just fireworks?

“It was just a spark. However, the countless grudges you had over the years accumulated to complete me.」

“Grudge…?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“….”

“Why is a demon called a demon? Envy, jealousy, revenge, resentment, hatred… It is the devil that was born from the gathering of all of them. And the one who grew up eating it is the one you call Blue Yeom.”

Bukri Docheon’s expression darkened.

If the shadow in front of your eyes is really blue flames.

Could it be that everyone was able to burn unquenchably for that thousand years because of the numerous negative emotions they had?

It is heartbreaking indeed. Did you call that kind of thing sacred and sacred?

“Ah, don’t blame me. Because from a certain moment on, it was you who regarded me as precious.”

“Yeah… I did. It was crazy.”

A shadow asks Bukri Docheon, who smiles dejectedly.

“Don’t you want to win?”

“What?”

「That’s an immediate response.」

“…”

「Would you like me to win?」

An overly sweet voice.

That one word tickled Bukri Docheon’s ears and instilled greed in an instant.

“You just need to reach out your hand.”

“….”

“You will be born anew by gaining strength that you have never had before.”

New?

Bukri Docheon stared at the shadow with strange eyes.

It is a power that has never been seen before. Could it be that this guy is that great?

“How is it? Will you trust me?」

Hearing that confident voice, Buk-Ridocheon fell into deep trouble.

“Is it good to collapse like this? to that kid? Then what will you do with the rest?J “

….”

“Will he forgive those who followed you?” “

….”

“They will probably all die.”

“….

” He’s trying to change the Demonic Cult. They’re probably going to overthrow everything and create something new.”

The shadow continued to urge him on.

“You just need to hold out your hand. You will reign again in the name of the strongest, and those who followed you will live fully. Then, the Demonic Cult will continue to exist.”

“….”

Bukri Docheon, who had been silent over and over, shook his head as if he had nothing to worry about.

What do you mean?

I felt greedy for a moment, but there is no point in looking back at the past.

“gibberish.”

「…?」

Bukri Docheon’s eyes radiated a lofty light and laughed at the shadow.

“Don’t talk like you’re anything.”

「…」

“You are just an insignificant trivial chore.”

“Miscellaneous.”

“My defeat? It is unavoidable. Because that was all my strength and he was stronger than me. Of course I don’t want to lose. But I am Bukri Docheon. I won’t achieve anything by borrowing the hands of insignificant bastards.”

“Then what about your subordinates? Everyone will die?”

“It could be. But I believe in the guy who beat me.”

「Do you believe?」

“Yes. He probably won’t kill anyone. Because he’s big enough to embrace everyone.”

“You rate it quite highly.”

“Yes. Because he was the strongest opponent.”

[Hmm.]

“So stop making noise and get out of here. It’s hard both physically and mentally right now.”

“It was very unfortunate. If I had held out my hand myself, I would have been able to demonstrate greater power.”

“…?”

“I just wanted to give you a choice.”

“What are you talking about?”

“What? It’s like this.」

Sueuuuuuuuuuu

“…!”

The shadows scattered like gas.

“He… How dare you!”

“Don’t hold out. didn’t I tell you I am the essence of grudge that has lived for a thousand years. No matter how strong you are, it’s not enough to stop me.

”

“Sounds natural. The seed of greed has already grown in your heart. The desire not to want to be named the strongest… Even if you deny it, as long as that greed resides in your heart devastated by defeat, you cannot overcome my will.

”

In an instant, the darkness was sucked into the Chilgong of Northern Lidocheon.

And when everything was over and Bukri Docheon calmed down, his eyes were spitting out blue spirits.
