Episode 62
The world seemed to stop. The sound of a heartbeat thundered, and I could clearly see even a scattering grain of soil.
and… … .
Whoops.
There was a flash. The light emitted by the sword was beautiful and accurate. I felt a destructive force that could split the blade and even my body in half.
‘It’s over.’
I did my best. It’s a lie if you don’t even have the slightest regret, but the result won’t change.
Just hit it with all your might until the very end.
Shuhua!
The spear blade tore the wind, and the sword river erased it. It was the moment death approached.
Wedge liquid! hooked!
The elder’s eyes widened. It was an unknown monster who rose at the speed of a flash and pierced his dagger.
“you… …
“You should have pointed out bloodletting.”
It was a surprise that no one expected.
Just a moment ago, he was just one of many corpses lying around. But no.
The monster just waited for the right time with extreme patience. The elder shouted like a scream at the moment to avenge his son.
“Two thousand hundred!”
“Hahaha!”
The moment Icheonbaek exploded with light, the blade of my spear dug into his back. It cut through his flesh and bones and stretched out without hesitation.
belt ring.
-[Lv.75 2,000] Killed!
– Level up!
– Level up!
– Level up!
– All status ailments are healed by the stacking effect of level up!
A change has happened. The throbbing muscles, the heavy feet, and the empty dantian swelled with new strength.
At the same time I realized what to do.
‘One island.’
yet again. A white vortex spewed out.
Quadruped!
oral life.
It is the first time in my life that those four letters touch my heart like this.
really dead and alive It was to the extent that I even saw the fantasy of going through the entry procedures in hell, hugging King Yeomra, and even taking a commemorative photo.
If it wasn’t for 2 thousand baek, the fantasy would have become a reality.
‘You did a good job saving it.’
I wanted to close the eyes of 2,000 baek so that they could go in peace, but there is still work to be done.
“So live a good life. a little.”
At my words, the elder laughed.
His appearance was miserable.
Ilseom swallowed his one remaining arm and punched a fist-sized hole in his chest.
“Simbo, you’re a nasty guy. Do you have no courtesy for the dying old man?”
“The old people I know are people who enjoy watching their grandchildren play tricks in their old age. I’m not an old man who goes on a rampage to kill my grandchildren like you.”
“Yeah, man! Be the grandson and then say that.”
He chuckled and seemed relieved, as if he had shaken everything off.
“Taekyung is a good kid. If Captain Ro had opened his heart first, he would have become a good grandson.”
The elder turned his head. Qin Yuqing holding a sword was there.
“Are you going to stab me with that sword?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“That worry, it should be over soon.
There is not much time left.”
What he said was true. Blood was still flowing like a waterfall from the section where both of his arms were cut off and from his lower stomach, even now as he pretended to be fine and talked.
After raising the Seoncheonjigi there, up to the storm. The fact that he is still alive feels like a miracle.
“You look tough.”
“No, I am getting comfortable.”
It was a firm answer.
“When the Great War of Jeongma occurred, I was only Lee Rip. I haven’t had a single moment of rest since then. no… … The elder continued to speak in a troubled voice.
“Actually, I don’t know if I’ve been tired for a long time.”
I muttered in exasperation.
“I’ve done everything, and now what?”
“Taekyung!”
Jin Wi-gyeong sent a glance of light rebuke, but the captain seemed not to be offended, but an airy laugh escaped from his closed mouth.
“Puhh. yes, you are right Think of it as the shit of a senile old man.”
“I guess it’s time to really die.”
“Ugh! This guy!”
“Oh, why? I didn’t say anything wrong.”
The elder looked at Jinwigyeong with a blurry gaze at me, who was bickering.
“We had times like you. Yes, it certainly has been.”
But the elder had no time left to ruminate on the memories.
“Cool, kueaek!”
The elder staggered after coughing up enough blood. He was nearing his death. All the thread veins in his eyes burst out, and the blood that flowed from his body had long since formed a puddle. To the extent that I can tell at a glance that there is no hope now.
‘Are you really going to die? That chieftain?’
everyone dies Hundreds, perhaps even thousands of lives may have been lost on this battlefield alone.
However, the death of the elder was something that could not even be easily imagined.
The inaction he showed was overwhelming. Because of that, his current appearance even looked desperate. So I got more curious.
“Why are you holding out so long?”
The elder replied.
“To those who left first… … I want to say that I did my best.”
“Regrets?”
does not exist.”
He smiled broadly and stuck out his chest.
“Finish it. With your own hands.”
I took the window Qin Yuqing had a complicated face, but that didn’t stop him.
Hiss!
A gust of wind blew, and the elder’s knee, which seemed unlikely to break, touched the ground. A comfortable smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
At the last moment, his lips parted, but no sound escaped.
That was it.
belt ring.
-[Lv. 95 Qin Baekyang] has been defeated!
– Quest, [Traitor] has been completed!
– The level has risen significantly!
– Reputation has risen significantly!
For a moment, there was silence.
Then, a huge shout that had never been heard before erupted.
“Shanseo Jamrong Jin Tae-gyeong cut the Hwayang sword Jin Baek-yang!”
– Acquired the title, [Sandeo Jamrong]!
Dozens, maybe hundreds.
Everyone alive was shouting my name.
‘It’s a dragon in the mountains.’
It was a new name that I quite liked.
– Jin Tae-gyeong, the three Gongja of Jinga in Taewon, cut the elder!
– Shanseo Jamryong broke the Hwayang Sword!
“It’s the Shanxi Sleeping Dragon.”
Hupin laughed. He is a foolish Samgongja who couldn’t even hear the sound of Toryong. But now I have to admit it.
he is a sleepy dragon If you get Yeouiju, you can navigate Changcheon.
“What do you think?”
The elder replied.
“Do you believe that?”
“Everyone is crying out for the death of the elder.”
“That’s because the lord wanted it.
The Three Gongja or something like him? That’s not even funny.”
“You see that from here? Your eyes are good too.”
“Isn’t it because I sold my eyes like that? ha ha ha.”
He was leaning sideways on a pile of corpses. Blood gushed from the sword wound that split diagonally from his shoulder to his waist.
“Surrender. If you heal now, you can live.”
“No. The old lady’s end was already decided long ago. A very painful death.”
Hupin shook his head.
“I will not allow it.”
“My death requires no permission.
Neither you nor even I can do anything about it.”
what is that?”
It was when Wi-Pang, not understanding the elder’s words, narrowed his eyes.
“Watch out for the dark sky… … Kreuk.”
It was a moment. Blood poured from the chil-gong of the elder. His eyes rolled over and his whole body convulsed.
“To the elder!”
By the time Yu-Pang hurriedly approached, the old man had already stopped breathing. As I said before, his face was distorted as he faced a painful death.
‘This.’
poison? or forbidden?
As of now, there is no way to know. Hupin etched deep into his mind a single word that became his will.
‘Amcheon. He said it was definitely dark.’
The only clue left by Iljang-ro. Hupin stared at the dead man’s face with mixed feelings, then turned away.
“I, Wipin, cut down the elder Il!”
Despair appeared on the faces of the black men. death and surrender. Of the two paths, they chose the latter.
blank. Turtle tongue.
Weapons falling helplessly.
It was the end of the war.
If there are dead, there are also survivors.
This was the case with Jinchung, the head of the Gunggwimun Gate, who climbed up the cliff before the battle.
“It’s frustrating.”
It was a great game that he devoted half his life to. But the results were disastrous.
The elders who were served as lords, the elders who worshiped Ho Hyeong-ho, and the lords of Sanseo Wumun all died. The struggles of the survivors are over, so now all that’s left is you.
‘Am I going to become like this in the end?’
Jinchung turned around. Fifty warriors of the palace were waiting for his orders?
“Leave.”
An invisible commotion spread. One of the warriors closest to him spoke cautiously.
“Lord Moon, what do you mean by that?”
“The fight is over. I won’t force you to sacrifice. go this way If we scatter as much as possible and get out of Shanxi, we will be able to save our lives.”
Musa nodded resolutely.
“I will follow you until I die.”
“I am… … stay here.”
“yes?”
After a brief moment of bewilderment, the samurai’s voice trembled with passion.
“Is it because of us?”
“you’re welcome.”
Jinchung replied firmly, but his heart was different.
‘If I follow him, Taewon’s true value will persistently pursue him.’
The Sanseo Gate is many but one. One yet many
It was created for the same purpose, but the way to raise warriors was different.
The worm… … He didn’t raise them as weapons. He was accepted as a disciple.
“Lord Moon!”
“Please lead us!”
They are all orphans with no place to go.
at least ten years. He fed, slept, and taught martial arts for more than twenty years.
If Daegye had succeeded, he would have become the main pillar of the Shanxi Murim, but now that he failed, he was just a traitor.
“You don’t know what’s going on right now?”
“Even if I die, I will be with you.”
“this guy!”
“Please allow me.”
The warrior who stepped out first hit his forehead on the stone floor. Then, Jinchung looked up at the sky and lamented at the disciples starting to kneel down one by one.
“If it hadn’t been delayed. If only they had come forward and given it!”
The story about ‘them’ is a secret that only the eight leaders know.
Saying those words was no different from Jinchung’s decision to be with his disciples for the last time.
‘This must also be Heaven’s will.’
Jinchung, who turned his gaze from the dark night sky, raised the prostrate warrior. that? I was infinitely sorry and moved by the loyalty shown by .
“It happened. Stop getting up.”
Musa raised his head at the warm voice. He licks a single drop of blood from his forehead and smiles.
female].”
Puck!
Jinchung looked at Musa with a puzzled face. It was such a shock that I couldn’t even feel the pain.
‘What the hell is this?’
Chow!
Musa pulled out his hand from Jinchung’s chest. In his hand was a group of lights brighter than moonlight. It was a bloody river that evoked an ominous feeling just by looking at it.
“you… …
“You know, what are you asking? Oh, and what you just said. I will give you a simple answer.”
The warrior’s smile deepened.
“Why are we here? Your role ends here.”
Jinchung widened his eyes. they are
Unknown beings that never showed up until the end. Amcheon!
You guys!”
“Uh-huh, don’t look like you’ve been taken advantage of. Did you forget who helped you survive that hell?”
Jinchung remembered the nightmare of that day forty years ago. The corpses of allies and the army of the Demonic Cult were endlessly pushed around.
They gathered around the elder and prepared for death. Until the dark spring appears.
“You saved my life and gave me a chance to get revenge. What more did you want?”
He’s right. Amcheon, who had annihilated the Demonic Cult forces, offered a deal, and they accepted. I had to plant solitude in my head, but I could do anything for revenge.
but… … .
“Wasn’t that the ulterior motive to use us to rule Shanxi?”
“Well, maybe it was at first.”
“Then what the hell is it for?”
smirk
“The bigger picture.”
At the same time as he answered, a bloody hand touched Jinchung’s chest.
pop.
A small explosion occurred inside Jinchung’s body. The energy that ruptured the eardrum and severed the blood vessels reached the heart.
‘Just like this… … The thoughts did not follow. The body of Jinchung, who had already stopped breathing, flew like a bird and crashed down the cliff.
Shhh, thump!
The warrior glanced down and narrowed his eyes.
“Oops, that hurts.”
What awaited him when he turned around was screams and blood. Ten men in black who appeared out of nowhere were slaughtering the students of the Palace of Ghosts.
“Let’s finish quickly and go.”
“Johnny.”
Wedge love! puck!
Musa looked down the cliff. Screams erupted from the surroundings, but the bottom of the cliff was full of cheers and shouts.
– Shanxi Dragon!
– Jin Tae-kyung! Taekyung Jin!
“It’s the Shanxi Sleeping Dragon.”
The plan worked. However, the appearance of Jin Tae-gyeong was a variable that he did not predict. I didn’t like that fact.
‘Should I hit it, horse*
If you want to, you can pull it out by the root. His deepened eyes turned to Jin Tae-kyung, who was surrounded by cheers.
– Our youngest! My little brother!
– Let go! Let go of this human!
food. Laughter broke out.
‘Please save me. today.’
Musa returned. At every step he took, fifty or so corpses lay like a carpet.
