Napping during a whale fight
‘It’s hot.’
I muttered, tapping the small armor slightly.
It was already humid and hot in the jungle, and the armor stuck to me so tightly that I started to get annoyed. I grabbed the biggest one I could, but it still got stuck a little.
I pressed hard and it stretched a little. It wasn’t so bad that it was difficult to move.
‘Suddenly the Imperial Army.’
When I encountered the Wyvern Knight, I felt something was off, but the problem was bigger than I thought.
The Red Calamity Zone was in the middle of a huge jungle. It was easy to find him since he had already been there once.
However, unlike before, the Imperial Army was spread out in a long line centered around the red disaster zone.
The Red Scourge is officially an enemy of the Empire, but the last time I was here, there wasn’t an army stationed there like this.
It was an incomprehensible move to now pressure the Red Disaster that had been left alone until now. It was clear that something had happened in the meantime.
To assess the situation, I grabbed a suitable size figure, snatched his armor, and entered the Imperial forces.
It wasn’t that difficult, since the Imperial Army wasn’t that tight-knit to begin with. Plus, the guys here seemed particularly loose.
These guys didn’t even know why they were there. Even though they were just errand boys, they were Imperial soldiers and didn’t know anything.
Even the fact that the capital had collapsed was not known for certain. Although there had been rumors, the atmosphere was such that they were dismissed as nonsense.
Still, there was some information to be gained. These were not the men originally stationed in the central region, but rather in the southern region. They were troops brought in from elsewhere.
‘On the way from Cassidy to the capital.’
It seemed likely that they were planning to attack from the rear. The area surrounding the Red Calamity was a large forest, making it easy to hide their troops.
I don’t know how they managed to move this many troops without telling them, but it was a clever move. In fact, if they hadn’t known, they might have suffered great losses.
There was also a feeling of confinement of the red disaster.
It was hard to figure out their intentions though-.
‘It’s the complete opposite of that time.’
He smiled bitterly as he recalled the time he had encountered the old Red Calamity.
At that time, I was able to shake off the pursuit thanks to him, but this time, he was trapped. Of course, he wasn’t even blinking an eye.
At that moment, the guy in front of me stopped. He looked back with an awkward smile. He had a lot of chubby cheeks, so he looked like a fat rat.
“Ahem… You can stand the guard alone. If you’re tired, just rest a bit-.”
The guy stuttered as he avoided my gaze. I could tell he was extremely uncomfortable with me.
‘I guess the original owner had a bad temper.’
I clicked my tongue slightly and looked around. It was a slightly raised part of a path carved out of wood.
‘The knights cut it.’
I muttered as I looked at the cleanly cut stump. There was nothing to be alarmed about. I just stood there and blinked.
“If I get caught like this, won’t I get in trouble?”
I asked with my voice as loud as possible.
“What do you mean… the knights don’t care about this side. And what kind of crazy guy would go through the Imperial Army and go to the Red Calamity?”
The guy wrinkled his nose and answered in a cautious voice, as if he wanted me to go somewhere else right away.
‘What a crazy guy-.’
Well, who would break through the imperial army and go to the Red Calamity?
However, there are always exceptions.
“Okay, how many articles are there?”
This time I asked a little more directly.
He looked at me with wide eyes. I thought he was curious as to why I was asking him this question, but he didn’t ask back. It was a great attitude.
“It looks like there were 8 groups at a glance. There could be more.”
“There are so many people here.”
I let out a small groan, more than I expected. Then the guy nodded.
“So that’s why they say you really intend to catch the Red Calamity.”
“How can the sword be used without a master?”
The question was a bit risky, so the guy’s eyes narrowed. I clicked my tongue as I watched the guy’s hand slowly lowering to the stick. He was more perceptive than I thought.
“It would be better not to do that.”
Unfortunately, the guy ignored my advice.
I wiped the blood off my sword and examined the stick the guy was trying to pull out.
‘It’s a signal flare.’
It was a disposable magic tool that would explode if you pulled down on it. I took it with me in case I could use it, and put the fallen one aside.
The humidity and the smell of blood added to it, making me feel like I was being chased by the Empire.
Judging from the lack of loud noises, it seemed like nothing was happening yet. All I could hear was the sound of an unknown bug crying and the gurgling sound of blood flowing.
I rubbed the blood on my hands against the wood and collected my thoughts.
It was easier to set up a lax security and cut off the heads of those who were sleeping comfortably than to eat meat bread.
‘I guess I should organize it as much as possible.’
I drew a path in my head. I didn’t feel particularly guilty. If the situation had been the other way around, they would have swung their swords without hesitation. That was war.
[The more we kill, the greater our chance of survival.]
It was what the captain said when I was having a hard time on the battlefield. I thought of him and straightened my grip on my sword.
‘The more you kill-.’
I looked up, but the sky was blocked by the trees.
‘Live a lot.’
He grabbed the heavy sword and pushed himself into the darkness.
I was thinking of saving as many as possible.
***
‘Fuck, fuck, fuck.’
First, the enemy Balhar Khan muttered curses under his breath.
That day, Balhar Khan returned to the palace against the five eldest sons.
Because of his great loyalty to his eldest son, he did not hesitate even a moment. However, Balhar Khan was unable to meet his eldest son.
There was no news, not even an explanation, about him.
The eldest son was gone. No matter how strong the fire was, there was no way he would have died.
There was definitely something going on, but there was no time to question it since the order to go towards the Red Disaster came down suddenly. It was an imperial edict so I couldn’t ask anything.
I tried to find out something from him, but-.
‘Since the hypocrisy was revealed, all the articles have been consumed by the spirits.’
Balhar Khan looked around and muttered to himself.
There were quite a few knights, but not a single word could be heard. The knights just stood there as if they were dead.
It was a phenomenon that was seen when one was consumed by a spirit. It was a phenomenon that occasionally occurred in the first party that received two tokens, so it was immediately recognizable.
‘There is no reason, but it is controlled as if it is following someone’s orders.’
Normally, when someone is eaten by a spirit, they would go berserk, but they didn’t do that. Since it was something of a new kind, I couldn’t explain it.
Even his subordinates were in a similar state. For some unknown reason, Balhar Khan was the only one who remained conscious.
They moved like ‘walking corpses’, low-level monsters. Balhar Khan, caught between them, felt like he was going to die.
In the end, Balhar Khan was pushed towards the Red Calamity without even being able to figure out how things were going.
Suddenly a red disaster? At first I thought it was a demotion, but I changed my mind after seeing the garrisoned troops.
There were too many troops to simply guard the perimeter. Almost a hundred knights were thrown into a place like this.
And above all-.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
‘Apostle···.’
Balhar Khan gulped as he watched the giant repeatedly strike the ground at the border.
That thing called Apostle was three times bigger than the third eldest son. It was a size that was hard to believe was human.
Although he was wearing a splendid white armor befitting his title as an apostle and had huge wings extending behind him, the cold feeling still lingered.
Whenever I passed by that thing, it gave off a horrible stench that made my nose rot.
He kept hitting the ground with his fist like a child throwing a tantrum. Every time he did, the ground shook loudly as if a disaster had occurred.
The sound was extremely loud, and since only Balhar Khan was affected by it, it was killing him.
He couldn’t sleep or sit down because he was imitating them. The tension was squeezing him as if a knife was stuck to his throat.
‘Where did that guy come from?’
Just looking at the aura it gave off, it was no less than the sword’s owner. How could such a being appear when it had been so long since the death of the sword’s owner, who was called the sword of the empire?
‘···Did you know about this place’s existence in the first place?’
It was an action that could only be thought of that way.
Then, the giant suddenly stopped moving.
Gulp. Balhar Khan swallowed without realizing it. His upper body shook. As if he was laughing.
The trembling that started out small gradually grew larger, and soon my whole body was shaking and trembling.
············!!
A terrible, indescribable laugh burst out of the guy.
‘What kind of apostle is that? It’s a monster.’
Balhar Khan took a step back without realizing it.
The one who roared loudly stamped his feet. The ground beneath him dug deep, and his massive new form shot forward.
The mighty power that allowed him to leap far and wide in a single step was transmitted to Balhar Khan through the ground. Boom, boom, boom! The ground shook loudly as if screaming with each step he took.
The other knights who had been standing still also followed him. A brilliant aura rose from them. A blue and white aura appeared and continued to radiate in long lines.
The knights’ auras continued as if they were tied together by a single string.
Even Balhar Khan could not help but admire the sight of the apostles and knights advancing towards the ashes.
Balhar Khan gulped as he looked at him.
at that time-.
In the direction they were heading, something slowly happened in the distance.
At first I thought the mountain was moving.
Because its size was so large that it was hard to contain in the eyes-.
But it wasn’t a mountain. There was no way a mountain could exist that was so red that it looked like blood was dripping down it.
‘Red disaster-.’
The huge mass that seemed to fill the sky was literally a red disaster.
Balhar Khan gulped at the appearance of the legend.
The Red Calamity, which had been the Empire’s public enemy for a long time, was happening.
Even the apostles who had seemed like monsters to Balhar Khan looked like mere insects in front of the red disaster.
The red disaster slowly opened its mouth. Even its mouth was so large that it looked like a mountain was splitting apart.
············!!!
The red disaster roared. A huge flame poured out from its mouth. Like an upside-down volcano, the flames poured out in a straight line from its mouth.
Everything it touched burned. The ground, already a heap of ashes, melted again, and even the air gave off smoke.
The giant in the lead moved with agility that did not match his size. The knights spread out to the left and right in response. Those knights who could not dodge disappeared into the flames without leaving a trace.
Even though Balhar Khan’s hand was tingling as he watched from afar, the knight and apostle advanced without hesitation.
The battle that began like that was a scene straight out of a myth.
‘Even now-.’
Balhar Khan chewed his lip. But outside the imperial palace, he had nothing.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from behind.
Balhar Khan turned his gaze and frowned. A giant soldier was approaching.
“I told you to stay put.”
Balhar Khan shouted.
At that moment, the guy suddenly jumped forward. Balhar Khan only noticed how fast he was moving after he reached him.
‘What the heck is this-.’
Balhar Khan drew his sword, causing the spirit to rise. Since he had even raised the hand that was possessed by the spirit, the speed was extremely fast.
The guy’s sword was already pressing down on his own. Balhar Khan’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear at the strangely familiar swordplay.
At that moment, the guy’s hand approached. The thick smell of blood filled the air. Balhar Khan was shocked by the giant hand that soon obscured his vision. He had been defeated in just one move.
My vision cleared up. The guy had taken off his helmet.
“You’re alive.”
The guy muttered something unintelligible. The voice sounded familiar. And his swordsmanship was-.
Balhar Khan was shocked when he finally took off his helmet.
“······Third eldest son?”
“No, it’s Aaron.”
The guy who said that chuckled to himself, wondering what was so funny.
Balhar Khan was more upset that the guy was happy to see him than that he had lost in one move.
However, Balhar Khan unconsciously lowered his gaze at the presence that the guy gave off.
For some reason, Balhar Khan was more afraid of the being in front of him than of the mythical beings there.
“Hey, what is that?”
“That’s an apostle······.”
Balhar Khan answered the bastard’s light question with sincerity without realizing it.
***
‘···apostle?’
I squinted at the strange giant that was rushing at the red plague.
It was a creature as big as a troll, wearing brilliant white armor and wings. It was a suit of attire befitting the title of Apostle. However, its size was strangely familiar.
I squinted my eyes and focused on the guy’s movements. Despite his large size, his movements were so fast that I missed them for a moment. His strength and movements were somewhat unrealistically strong.
‘You are so irrational.’
The bastard’s movements were too crude. He fought like a monster. It was just a primitive way of dodging and rushing instinctively.
Even so, because the power he possessed was so outstanding, that alone was a huge threat.
Although, a more rustic approach might suit him better-.
‘Even so, in the end, it’s just a monster.’
Although his physical abilities were clearly superior to that of the sword’s owner, the sword’s owner seemed more threatening to me.
Combat wasn’t just about physical ability.
It felt like someone who didn’t know anything about combat had just stuffed all the good stuff into it and left out the important stuff.
‘This might be a bit more difficult for the Red Calamity.’
For the Red Calamity, that guy could be more difficult than the master of the sword.
“I knew it was you. That’s why I adjusted my power.”
At that moment, the eldest one, who had turned pale, said something strange. I knew that the eldest one had given it his all, but I didn’t bother to point it out.
“Why are you here?”
Why is the eldest son, who should be in the palace, here? After all, he was a son with a high position.
“Ahem···, the eldest son has disappeared.”
The first one gave a short cough and continued speaking.
‘The eldest son… Ah, I see.’
Only then did I remember where I had seen the monster. It had grown bigger than before, so it was hard to recognize it, but it was definitely the one running behind the first one.
Now that I think about it, it was definitely him. He was definitely the one tied to the first one.
“That’s the guy behind the first eldest son.”
“What? That can’t be. That’s His transcendence. I can’t move apart from Him······.”
The eldest, who had been startled and retorting, blinked. He seemed to have noticed, as his words trailed off.
‘hmm···.’
I ignored the first reaction and looked at the red disaster and the guys.
‘The state of the Red Calamity is not good.’
The movements were slightly slower than when I saw them before. It seemed like the Empire had done something.
In comparison, there were still many imperial knights, and the monsters called apostles were also corrected.
I couldn’t be sure of the result, but it looked like the Red Calamity was at a slight disadvantage.
I still don’t know why the Empire is suddenly targeting the Red Calamity.
‘Good.’
I nodded in satisfaction.
Considering the Red Calamity’s eccentric nature, there was no way he would be impressed by my help. Rather, he would just make a fuss with his remaining strength.
It would be good to deal with the Apostles and the Imperial Knights, so it was a very fortunate situation for me to have them lose their strength to each other.
‘I guess I’ll just look around and pick it up and eat it when the time is right.’
He sat down, muttering like that.
“Why are you sitting?”
The first one asked, his posture awkward as if he had stopped running.
“Do you have anything to eat?”
The first guy’s face became subtle at my question.
He opened his mouth as if he had something to say, then sighed and headed off somewhere. After a while, he came back carrying a bunch of stuff.
It was combat rations with magical processing. I couldn’t help but curse at the hard bread and dry beef jerky.
“You’re eating shit.”
“Why are you doing that to me······.”
Ignoring the first one’s squeak, I put it in my mouth. It was rough and tasteless. I realized that Hannah’s cooking was top-notch.
‘You’re working hard.’
They were still fighting fiercely. The ground shook, the flames spread, and screams erupted.
It was a wonderful sight. I was amazed and stuffed myself with bread and jerky.
My eldest son hesitated for a moment and then sat down next to me. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be undecided about what to do.
“Sit down, kid.”
The first one, who was hit in the head, rolled to the side.
I ate the jerky, giggling at the stupid sight.
The eldest, who had been mumbling for a moment, sat down a little way away. He was on tiptoe as if he was going to run away if something happened.
“Want to bet on who will win?”
He pointed to the noisy battle and said, Then the first one frowned.
“Watching such a legendary battle and making a bet······. I’ll bet on the Empire.”
When the eldest one, who had been grumbling, raised his fist, he quickly took out a luxurious pouch and handed it to me. I could tell at a glance that it was full of things.
“Will you walk more?”
As I snapped my fingers, the bastard pulled out another pocket from inside.
It was thicker than before. I nodded and packed my pockets. The face of the eldest son who saw him turned pale.
“······You! You! Where are you going to hang it?!”
The first one asked late. He seemed worried that the money would be stolen.
I may be a rip-off sometimes, but I’m honest when it comes to betting.
Clicking my tongue at anyone who doubts my innocence.
“me.”
Pointed at me.
The first one’s face crumpled as he saw him. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but soon he closed his eyes tightly and swallowed.
I dusted off the jerky and put it in my mouth. Maybe it was because I got some pocket money, but it tasted pretty good.
At that moment, the red disaster breathed a cool breath. A huge pillar of flame shot out from its huge mouth, melting the ground and drawing a long line.
It was a power so great that it was embarrassing to compare it to BbungBbung.
They must have gotten the hang of it, as they raised their auras and slashed their breaths. The one in front, Apostle, tore his breaths. I don’t know what material it was, but his armor withstood the breath.
‘This won’t end in a day or two.’
He sat down and lay down.
“If anything happens, wake me up.”
I placed my sword in a good position to draw it and closed my eyes.
Thanks to the heat from the breath, the moisture evaporated properly and it was moderately warm.
Kwaaaaang! Boom! ·········!! Kwaaaaang! ·········!!
Balhar Khan felt an indescribable emotion as he watched the man sleeping peacefully in the midst of all this chaos.
However, I couldn’t protest, so I just endured it.
***
‘Wow, it’s the magic tower.’
Pulpouts admired the panoramic view of Cassady from the top of the castle.
Since the magicians of various magic towers suddenly flocked to Cassidy, the speed of development has become so fast that changes can be seen as soon as you wake up.
No, actually, when I woke up, the magic tower had been built.
There was a tower built at the request of the Swallows, but it was only to fit the form.
But when I woke up, I saw a huge and majestic pagoda built just like I had seen when I visited the old capital.
It was thanks to the unity of the wizards. I knew that the Magic Towers were not on good terms, but they suddenly became close. It seems that the wizards came together because the situation was chaotic. It seems that Kanna also had a big influence on that.
‘Wow, it’s a magic tower.’
Anyway, when I woke up, I saw that a magnificent tower had been built in Cassidy. It didn’t matter anymore that the tower was in the shape of a giant Aaron. People thought it was Fulputs, the king of demons.
Fullfoot, who originally did not go out much, was now forced to do so. The command center stopped him.
‘That could be possible.’
Fullfoot simply laughed. What could he possibly say about developing Cassidy? If the capital were pushed out anyway, they would all return.
Recently, I was feeling a strange sense of leisure because I had been distributing different tasks to the right people. Now, I was just checking the important tasks separately.
And now the important thing was sitting in front of them. It was Brighton, Joanna, and Johelia.
The atmosphere was similar to usual, but there was something very strange that stood out.
‘Is that thing shiny?’
A soft light was emanating from behind Joanna.
Looking closely, there was a faint light coming from behind Johelia, but Joanna’s was so strong that it was buried.
The light made Joanna, who was usually expressionless, look a bit solemn.
Pulpouts rubbed his eyes several times, wondering if there was something wrong with them. They were still shining.
Of course, the priest does shine when he heals, but they were radiant from the moment they came in.
‘First of all, I guess it’s right to congratulate you.’
I don’t know what it was, but I felt like I had made a lot of progress.
“Congratulations.”
Shout out!!!
Joanna glared at him with force in her eyes, and Pulpouts wondered what mistake he had made. He had only congratulated her.
“It is a blessing for the Knights of the Temple. Thanks to the faith of Joanna and Johelia, we were able to succeed. Now we can find Joanna soon.”
The answer came from Brighton. Brighton, which had always had a transcendent feel, had now turned white and had a holy air.
‘Isn’t that something to celebrate?’
I thought so, but I swallowed my words when I saw Joanna’s wide-open eyes. There was no need to scratch it.
“I’ve heard the whole story. We’re going to join in destroying the false gods.”
Brighton said, putting down the Bible.
I didn’t know exactly what their powers were, but it was clear that the Templars would be helpful in dealing with the Imperial Knights. There had been a showdown between the Imperial Knights and the Templar Knights in Cassidy before, and the Templar Knights had won.
Nod nod.
Fullfoot ignored Joanna, who was expressing something earnestly.
There was silence for a moment.
“I plan to reestablish the church.”
Brighton spoke softly, fiddling with the Bible.
‘You’ve made a decision.’
Fullfoot’s head turned quickly.
“I will contribute to the reconstruction of the church.”
If we could devote some resources to rebuilding the church, we could relieve Cassidy’s excessive focus. Pulpouts nodded.
“It’s okay. I plan to build it with faith.”
Pulpouts opened his mouth for a moment at the unexpected rejection.
As expected, he wasn’t a man who could communicate well.
“Oh, can I just use the synagogue as is?”
Pulpouts pressed his temples hard in response to Brighton’s subsequent question. It didn’t matter that he was given a synagogue, but Brighton mentioning him as he was trying to reestablish the church meant something else.
“Why in the outskirts-.”
“He might be here.”
Nod nod.
I could tell right away what he meant.
‘Aaron again···!’
There was no reason to refuse. After all, they were a major force. It was right to grant their request.
‘Yeah, there’s a nice tower too, but it’s just a podium.’
Even so, would you build the headquarters of your religious order in a small castle in the outskirts?
‘I can’t say it’s small anymore, though.’
The construction of the second wall was quickly completed as magicians were added to the places where manpower was left.
It was a useless reason why the wizards felt hot upon seeing the wall built by Kanna.
“Then I will lend you my manpower.”
“That’s okay. I plan to build it myself. With faith like these people.”
Dori Dori. Joanna next to him kept shaking her head, but Brighton didn’t seem to be visible.
At that moment, the door opened and Kanna and Vivian came in. They were both in a mess, wondering what they were doing. Behind them, Knight Ben was escorting them.
“hello!”
Vivian greeted me with a big smile and climbed up the ladder with Kanna to the roof. The sight was so natural that it made my head spin for no reason.
“A bakery in the church? There’s no need for a bakery. It’s not something you can solve with such a face.”
Call!
“I’ll do it. Don’t worry, Joanna.”
“Johelia, what are you talking about? There’s a bakery in the church….”
Brighton, who insists on having a strange conversation in his room-.
“Mom’s here! She’s so good and not crying-? Let me pet Kanna too!”
“cute!”
The voice of the unmarried daughter is heard from above.
“Worship the king!”
Even the shouts can be heard from afar.
Pullputs, who felt unnecessarily complicated, sipped his tea.
At that moment, the front started to sway.
It was somewhat strange to see the empty space dissipate like a mirage.
‘I guess I’m a little tired.’
At first I thought my eyes were defective.
But when I rubbed my eyes and looked again, it was still rippling. The small ripple had actually gotten bigger.
‘What is this······.’
As Pulpouts was about to reach out, someone pulled him from behind.
Suddenly, a heavily armed Joanna was blocking the way.
‘···when?!’
Fullfoot, who was confident that he had a good eye for vision, showed no movement at all.
Joanna, whose light had become even more intense, aimed her greatsword straight ahead. Adela came running late.
At that moment, the rippling space grew larger and something was spat out.
It was a man with a tattered hood over his head and a small girl. Gray smoke rose from their bodies.
One of the men coughed, and a long stream of red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
A white girl who looked about five years old sitting on top of the man clicked her tongue.
“You even used space jumping? You’re determined to die.”
It was clearly a young voice, but strangely enough, the way he spoke made me feel like he was older.
“Um… I won’t die.”
The man answered lightly and raised his head. Pulpouts’ eyes widened as he saw the man’s face under the hood.
“It’s been a while.”
“······Hans!!! Hey you!!”
Pulpouts, who realized the bastard’s true identity, screamed.
At that moment, the white girl wrinkled her face.
At the same time, the air in the room became chilly.
Pullputs swallowed hard at the sudden heavy pressure.
Joanna nonchalantly placed the greatsword against the girl’s neck.
The girl snorted as she looked at the greatsword pointed at her neck. The girl who had tapped the greatsword opened her mouth and glared at Joanna.
“If you see an adult, you should greet them first. Why are you suddenly thrusting a sword at me? Don’t you have a mother or father?”
Pulpouts froze at the harsh words coming out of the girl’s mouth.
No, the whole room froze at the energy flowing out of the girl. The girl was so strong that even Pulptu could feel it.
When everyone is tense due to the sudden appearance of a strong person-.
Nod.
Joanna nodded.
The girl’s face softened at Joanna’s confident nod.
“No? Hmm···.”
The girl trailed off, seeming embarrassed.
After a brief silence-.
“Hey, Joanna! What are you talking about!”
Johelia screamed.
Episode 174: Thunder and Telecommunication Pearl
The first thing Gwi Seong-jin did upon returning to the ruins was to soften the brain stem in a secret place.
If you enter the brain temple, you will be exposed to the brain temple without any protection… .
I was worried about the brain stem disease alone.
As a result of examining it with the Haegeumyeonhwasul, it was found that the brain heart was a magical instrument with 98 gold pieces.
Gwi Seong-jin, who had lifted 13 gold restrictions, went up to the ground where lightning was falling.
And I confirmed that if I activate the brain stem, enemy lightning cannot come close to my body.
It was the same with Mukroedo.
As Gwi Sung-jin activated his brain, the dark dragon that was crawling on the ground trying to attack Gwi Sung-jin ran away far away.
The effect was very satisfactory.
But there was a problem: using the Brain Heart Pulse consumed too much magical power.
Still, it was clear that it would be a great help in times of crisis.
Gwi Seong-jin, whose mind was much more at ease, put the island brain spirit bottle into his sleeve and put on the cloak made of divine power.
Then he unfolded the sleeping book and approached the Brain Temple.
Gwi Seong-jin, who entered the Brain Temple, was surprised to see that the hall was filled with brain energy.
In the empty space, more brain energy than spirit energy flowed like fog, and on the ground, black lightning was swarming around.
Yet, countless masters were fighting fiercely inside.
Flash!
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the floor of the Brain Temple fiercely.
But the floor of the brain temple was intact.
Instead, the enemy lightning scattered into the air, spewing lightning.
Some of them turned into lightning, but not that many.
While absorbing brain energy with the island brain disease, Gwi Seong-jin carefully moved inside the brain temple.
Then I looked to see which experts were there, but at first I couldn’t tell who was who.
Still, after looking at it for a while, I was able to roughly distinguish the forces before my eyes.
The strongest force within the Brain Temple was the bat-winged monster that appeared to be the master of the Bicheondo Sect, Yeonheogi, whom we had previously met, and his companions.
Next up are the brainwashing masters who use brainwaves.
On one side, there were bald masters with bodies as hard as diamonds and divine powers, although they were inferior to them, and there were also three yokai leading hundreds of monsters.
And the center of the hall where so many masters are fighting.
A blue thunderbolt was seen, trapped in a transparent barrier and being struck by thunderbolts descending from the sky.
The barrier was blocked in six directions.
However, the inside of the barrier was filled with thick thunder, and violent thunder was still continuously flowing in from the upper part of the barrier.
Kwarrrrrr. Flash!
A huge thunderbolt crashed into the brain temple with a flash of light and a loud noise.
But the people in the middle didn’t even blink an eye.
This is because he knew from experience that such a large and ferocious thunderbolt would be sucked into the barrier where the thunderbolt pillar was.
Pfft!
Eventually, the brain waves that collided with the brain stem shattered into pieces and turned into brain energy.
But not all brain storms are like that.
Some of the thunderbolts avoided the thunderbolt pole and directly struck humans or monsters within the thunderbolt.
Krrrrrr.
Then, with a short scream, a corpse appeared.
What was surprising was that there were people in the Brain Temple who did not die even if they were struck by a thunderbolt.
There were even those who practiced using brain waves.
They were masters of the Cheonganggyeryokmun who took off their shirts and showed off their muscular bodies.
Even they looked afraid of the black armored man of the Bicheondo sect.
The bat-winged monster next to him also seems secretly reluctant… .
Tsupat?
The bat-winged monster next to the black armored man suddenly disappeared.
And then he appeared out of thin air, holding in his hand one of the investigators of the Heavenly Powers Clan.
The investigators of the Cheongang Gwaeryokmun had bodies as hard as a diamond, so swords could not penetrate them.
Phew!
But the bat-winged monster easily split open his chest and ate the heart inside.
Gulp. Thud.
Isn’t the heart alone enough?
Only after eating the liver next to it did the bat-winged monster throw the corpse on the ground.
Iron Flute.
Even though one of their comrades was killed, the bald masters did not act rashly.
This is because there have been quite a few colleagues who have died up until now.
The investigators of the Cheonganggyeryokmun were gnashing their teeth and just suppressing their anger… .
The one who actually stood up for them was a master of brainwashing who came from the central region.
Flash!
As the master of the brain gate waved his hand, a ray of lightning that had collided with the brain telegraph pole and was turning into a thunderbolt changed direction and flew towards the bat-winged monster.
There was no way to avoid a stroke.
Boom!
The monster folded his wings to protect his body, but the shock from being struck by lightning did not easily subside.
Even after the brain twitched, my whole body was numb to the point where I couldn’t even flap my wings.
The masters of the Cheon Gang Gwae Ryuk Sect, who were just waiting for a chance to take revenge, could not possibly miss this opportunity.
Tsupat!
They jumped up like locusts, surrounded the monster, and attacked him all at once with their hammer-like fists.
But the bat-winged monster did not back down.
He crouched down and took a few punches, then when the shock from the brain shock wore off, he flew around like a goblin and cut open the bald detectives’ stomachs with his claws.
In an instant, three bald men fell dead to the ground.
Phew!
Even the bat-winged monster that had been running wild like a vicious beast eventually got punched in the chest and flew back.
That too for a moment.
It flew up like an immortal, entangled itself again, killed two more people, and fell to the ground as a blood clot.
Ugh.
And yet, I managed to get up.
When the bat wing monster was in danger, the master of the Bicheondo sect, Yeonheogi, flew into the air.
Then, he released the wind of death into the air and began hunting down the masters of the Heavenly Power Sword.
His wind was the messenger of death.
He cut the bald heads that were said to be impervious to swords with his sharp wind sword, then corroded the wounds and instantly reduced them to ashes.
The angry Yeonshin-gi mid-level master tried to attack without fear of death, but it was no use.
I couldn’t move forward because of the strong wind and ended up kneeling halfway.
Srrrrrr.
The body of the master of Yeonshinki slowly began to disappear from the soles of his feet.
Kkaaaak!
A master of the Cheongang Gwaeryukmun who was dying bumped into a monster with bat wings.
Phew!
A bat-winged monster sliced open an old, balding swordsman’s stomach with pitch-black claws.
The hot intestine spilled out of the stomach and stretched all the way to the floor.
But the old bald master did not scream.
He took out his long intestines and hung them around the monster’s neck, then grabbed one of the monster’s wings and tore it off.
The monster with one of his wings cut off was not discouraged.
After brutally killing the old bald master, he rushed back to where the Cheonganggyeryokmun masters were.
Then he started the dance of death with the master of the Bicheondo sect.
When the masters of the Heavenly Power School were on the verge of annihilation, the masters of the Brain School also rushed into the battlefield.
They only had four people.
However, he controlled the thunderbolts with incredible power, causing defeat to the masters of the Bicheondo Sect’s Yeonheogi technique time and time again.
The black armored man who had branched out spread the black wind like fog.
And the strong wind overlapped like waves, putting a strong pressure on the masters of the brain gate.
Even the brainwashing masters weren’t suffering.
As they held out their palms, red lightning flowed out from their palms, creating a lightning curtain in the air.
Crackle. Crackle.
The black wind that hit the curtain lost its strength and fell to the ground.
However, the master of the Bicheondo sect was not flustered.
Instead, it increased the strength of the wind, forcing them to not raise their brain curtain.
This is because he knew that while he was attacking with the help of his magic, they would soon reach their limit as they were releasing the brain energy within their bodies.
Indeed, his thoughts were right on the mark.
The complexions of the masters who were spewing out brain energy gradually turned pale.
That was when.
Three masters of the Heavenly Power Sword, who had crushed the winged monster’s chest with hammer-like fists, rushed toward the Black Armored Man.
Then, the black armored man diverted some of the wind that was attacking the brain gate masters and stopped the bald men’s attack.
But then something unexpected happened.
A bald man risked his life by jumping into the black wind.
Unfortunately, the guy was at the peak of his powers in his later years.
Phew!
The bald man’s fist, which had been hit by the wind with its entire body, pierced the black armor and then headed back towards the black armored man’s face.
Then, an explosive aura flowed out from the black armored man’s body and blew the bald master far away.
The body of the bald man who was flying away had already turned black.
The problem is the brain.
As the Black Armor Man’s attention was distracted while dealing with the bald detective, the Brain Gate masters attempted to counterattack all at once.
Flash!
The giant lightning that was being dragged towards the brain telegraph pole flew towards the black armored man, dragging its long tail like a thunder dragon, and the thunder dragons that escaped the brain gate master’s long heart all struck him at once, calming the fierce black wind.
Sensing a crisis, Heukgap-in took out a scroll with a mountain drawn on it from Geongon-dae and defended against lightning.
As if that wasn’t enough to make him feel safe, he protected his body with a defensive spell and even released a spiritual barrier.
But the power of the lightning far exceeded his expectations.
Kuwawawang!
The lightning that tore down a mountain in an instant slithered like a thunder dragon and pierced his spiritual barrier.
Even though he still had strength left, he shattered the defensive spell into pieces and left a deep impact on the black armor.
Keuuuk!
The black armored man flew backwards, blood pouring out of his mouth like a waterfall.
Phage, phage, phage!
On top of the black armor of the man, the thunderbolts shot by the masters of the thunder gate were rippling.
* * *
Gwi Seong-jin, who was watching their fight while hiding behind Jangcheonsul, couldn’t help but be amazed at the power of the brain magic technique that the brain gate master possessed.
Among the brainstorming sessions, the best one was the Yeonshin-gi era.
He had a blunt-tipped staff-shaped magical tool with which he could attract lightning and attack his opponents.
However, it seemed that the shock to the body caused by pulling the brain with the magic weapon was considerable.
Even now, he was standing in the same spot where he had attacked the black armored man, catching his heavy breath.
An unexpected danger came upon him.
Kkwudduk.
The ground where he was standing split open and a large monster emerged.
The master of the brain gate who was protecting him from the side struck the monster with a sword engraved with a brain gate pattern.
Flash!
The monster hit by the brain collapsed helplessly.
But there wasn’t just one monster.
Suddenly. Suddenly.
Dozens of them emerged from the ground and began to fiercely attack the Brain Gate masters.
Kyaaaaaa!
A single monster howling sharply rushed towards the brain gate master who was catching his breath at lightning speed.
Flash.
But his luck wasn’t so good.
The master of the thunderbolt who had been relieving the shock he had received while guiding the enemy lightning to the black armored man opened his eyes.
A red lightning bolt shot out from the brain of the master of the brain gate and dug into the head of the monster that attacked him, melting its brain like a stick of taffy.
Kuung!
The monster, whose head had turned black, fell to the ground helplessly.
As the monster fell to the ground dead, hundreds of monsters watching it rushed into the battlefield.
“Damn it. Back off!”
As the Brain Gate masters, feeling threatened, left the center, the hall soon turned into a battlefield.
The black armored man who had been badly injured and had flown backwards, and the monster who had lost one of his wings, appeared at the front again, and the bald monks of the Cheongang Monster Force also showed off their divine powers without hesitation, like fish in water.
Ssssssss.
As the hall was thrown into chaos, Gwi Seong-jin, who had been hiding, finally took action.
As Gwi Seong-jin used Jangcheonsul and approached the barrier, he realized that Hae-jin would be much more difficult than he had expected.
I looked around the four walls and inspected the floor, but I couldn’t find any weak spots.
The only weak point is the upper part of the barrier.
But no one could have predicted when and how a thunderstorm would strike.
However, it was not possible to release the ghost from its shell and let it go.
It was clear that if they let out their anger in such a small area, they would be discovered before they could even last half an hour.
After much hesitation, Gwi Seong-jin finally decided to go on an adventure.
Believing in the power of the island brain, he climbed up to the upper part of the barrier.
