Episode 207 No. 410 Reclaiming the Seal (2)
‘I benefited from Okmaji’s help.’
The Hyeonumokmaji is considered one of the most powerful magicians.
It is also very noticeable that the index finger is frozen, making it easy to recognize.
Thanks to this, I was able to act as a master of the Demonic Cult without much discomfort, and quickly secure my top priority in this dungeon.
[Jang Bo-do Fragment B]
Next, it’s time to turn our attention to the dungeon’s main objective.
I showed two fingers to Go Hyun-woo.
“There are two main things we have to do.”
One is securing the sealing box, which has already been mentioned repeatedly in the title.
To be exact, it is to help the King of Hell secure the Sealed Demon Ship.
“Of course, they won’t just open their eyes and let it happen.”
“I have a feeling there will be an expert there.”
“100%.”
When talking to King Yeom, he used vague expressions like ‘unexpected variable’ and ‘unexpected expert’.
But in reality, the battle with the master is certain.
It seems that the Geumyeongdan side was also feeling uneasy about the embezzlement of the Seal, so they invited some very talented experts.
They will be a huge obstacle in taking down the top, so it will be important to subdue them quickly.
“The other one is to find the top stock.”
“He is the mastermind behind this incident.”
“Yes. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you just look for the Sealed Horse, but the Lord of the Upper House gives you additional rewards.”
“Indeed, if it’s additional compensation, it’s something that can’t be overlooked.”
It was Ko Hyeon-woo who accompanied me and gave me the mindset of a veteran.
The speed of the King of Hell, which had been moving secretly, gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.
In front, there was a manor consisting of several pavilions, neither too large nor too small.
It is surrounded by a fairly high wall for the size of the estate, and the signboard at the main gate reads:
Soon, the King of Hell began exchanging signals with each other and approached the building at a stealthy yet terrifyingly fast speed.
There were sentries standing guard all around, but by the time they discovered the approaching King of Hell, it was already too late.
“Red—”
– Crunch!
The sentries were quickly eliminated.
The King of Hell surrounded the Geumyeongdan.
So that not a single mouse can escape.
– Ss …
The only sound that can be heard is the slight rustling of clothes.
As I was watching the scene with Go Hyun-woo, King Yeom approached me and reported in a respectful tone.
“I’m ready.”
“Get started.”
As I nodded and said that, the master made a signal with his hand.
A sharp whistle rang out,
– Beep!
The King of Hell that surrounded the upper part jumped at the same time and climbed over the high wall.
From this point on, there was no need to be secretive.
“Cut them all off!”
“Sweep them all away, leaving not a single one behind!”
Go Hyun-woo and I exchanged glances and then quickly climbed over the wall.
When I climb up on the wall and look down, I see the surprised faces of the Geumyeong Unit soldiers standing guard.
One of them shouted urgently.
“It’s the enemy—!”
Those were the last words he ever spoke.
– Crunch!
Because the next moment my neck was blown off.
A battle broke out, and the sound of clashing weapons and the sound of blood shedding echoed everywhere.
– Kagagak,
“Ugh… … !”
The King of Hell’s sword was blocked by the Geumyeongdan warrior with his sword crossed.
The two men briefly exchanged swords and tried to push each other away, but the upper warrior was pushed back more and more, and soon his sword snapped.
King Yeom-dae-won swung his sword again and finished him off.
– Crunch!
“Kwaaak!”
Throw the fallen opponent aside like trash and move on to the next one.
It seemed that the Geumyeongsangdan had spent money to hire or invite unmanned personnel, but their individual capabilities were too weak to deal with the Demonic Cult’s armed forces.
– Crunch!
So they were busy collapsing without even exchanging a few coins.
The numbers dwindle in an instant.
Although there were some who occasionally engaged in fierce battles with a few of the members, the King of Hell was also thoroughly trained in group combat.
When two or three of them attacked together, they too could not hold out and eventually fell.
‘But if it’s stronger than that.’
What if the King of Hell was so strong that even if several of them attacked together, they couldn’t defeat him?
I thought it was about time they showed up.
As expected,
– Choaak!
The bodies of three or four King of Hell members who had been advancing at breakneck speed were torn apart in an instant.
Another agent filled the spot and attacked again, but was also torn in two.
They were twins who looked almost identical.
He is short and plump, reminiscent of a dwarf.
Each of them was swinging a large axe the size of their bodies, and the blue aura that formed on the axe blades was proof of their skill.
Because of that, King Yeom was unable to properly withstand their attacks and his body was torn apart time and time again.
Also, the two of them were a good match and complemented each other’s shortcomings perfectly.
These are the masters who were secretly invited by Geumyoungsangdan.
‘The Jeong brothers, who broke the mountain with axes.’
I exchanged glances with the King of Hell sitting nearby.
His eyes were slightly wide with surprise.
“You even predicted their appearance… … I am amazed at Manoe’s foresight.”
“Ma-noh knows everything.”
But in fact, there is no magic bullet, I figured it all out.
If we let the Jeong brothers continue to install it, the damage to the King of Hell will become enormous.
So I stepped forward with Go Hyun-woo.
“Back off. We will deal with it.”
“Your name.”
As King Yeom’s army widened the distance, the two brothers’ eyes naturally turned to us.
They speak curiously, feeling at first glance that something is out of the ordinary.
“Now I finally have an opponent worth fighting.”
“It’ll be fun.”
I was a master of the Demonic Cult in this dungeon.
Besides, there were a lot of eyes watching me, so I decided to continue to maintain my arrogant attitude.
“You guys are so clueless, you have such big mouths. I’m not having any fun at all, so come in quickly.”
“… … !”
Brother Jeong’s face distorted into a grim expression.
The provocation appears to have been successful.
After all, which unmanned person would be able to calmly ignore the words, “You’re not even worth a single punch”?
Soon their momentum soared and they simultaneously stomped the ground.
Blue energy emanates from them in streams and clings to the axes they hold.
Go Hyun-woo looked at them with interested eyes.
“This is my first time facing an axe master.”
Before he knew it, he was holding an iron sword in his hand.
A soft breeze wraps around the blade.
[Flow]
A defensive technique focused on repelling enemy attacks.
I also used this technique mainly when I was avoiding the ogre attacks during the midterm exam.
However, Go Hyun-woo seemed to have realized something while using Sunryu in real life.
Instead of standing still and taking the attack as usual, he takes a big step forward and swings his iron sword.
– Thud—!
The trajectories of the two axes that were being swung with frightening momentum curved greatly.
I wasn’t the type of person to miss that exposed loophole.
In an instant, he digs in and sticks the Hyun-eum-ok-ma-ji into Jeong-ssi’s arm.
– Phew,
“This… this is… this is…!”
Mr. Jeong took a step back absentmindedly and looked down at the stabbed area with bewildered eyes.
– Tsk tsk,
A cold air that travels through the bloodstream at incredible speed and consumes the entire body.
At first, only his arms were shaking, but soon his whole body was shaking.
Another Mr. Jeong who saw it shouted.
“You bastard! What did you do to my brother!”
“You were my younger sibling. Don’t worry.”
You will soon be like that too.
This time, Go Hyun-woo and I attacked.
Go Hyun-woo takes on the role of Hyung, who desperately tries to drive away the cold air.
I decided to give the jade horse to both Mr. Jeong fairly.
As I approached, I reflexively swung my axe,
– Boo-woong—
I dodged just barely, but dug deeper.
And then he poked Mr. Jeong’s swinging arm with his index finger.
“Ugh… … !”
Brother Jeong glared at us, shivering.
There is a mixture of anger and fear in his eyes.
I looked at them for a moment and then gave instructions.
“Deal with it.”
“Your name.”
The King of Hell surrounded them again and gradually closed the distance between them.
At this point, there is no need for us to wrap it up.
It was difficult to resist the cold air of the Hyeonumokmaji, so even the King of Hell would suffice.
“Kwaaah!”
We entered the hall, leaving behind the screams of Brother Jeong.
The King of Hell who had entered ahead was searching the sealed room, cutting down everything in sight and turning the room upside down.
We ignored them and continued on.
Go Hyun-woo said as he walked along with his assistant.
“We’ve taken care of the experts, so now there’s only one left.”
“Yeah, I have to find it.”
The Golden Video Company.
As I continued walking, I reached the end of the hallway.
The wall of the building blocks our view.
Go Hyun-woo turned his head and asked with his eyes what to do next.
I pointed to the wall.
“Take a look at this.”
Without any hesitation, Go Hyun-woo quickly swung his iron sword twice.
Two black lines pass across the wall, forming an X.
– Kagakak!
A long gash remained on the wall, but that was it.
Go Hyun-woo asked as he retrieved the iron sword.
“I think there must be a reason why Brother Kim gave such an order… … . Is that right?”
“that’s right.”
I nodded and placed my hand on the wall.
“This is the formation.”
“… … !”
Go Hyun-woo carefully examines the wall again with renewed eyes.
He felt the wound on the wall and let out a little breath, but soon his eyes deepened.
“It certainly feels uncomfortable. However, I don’t think I can destroy it myself.”
“That’s enough for today.”
Deconstructing a formation begins with recognizing that a formation exists.
Go Hyun-woo took his first step today.
As you continue to encounter various formations and become aware of the discomfort, you will be able to recognize them at a glance like me.
Then what should I do about this thing in front of me?
We already had a very easy solution.
“Take out the Dharma statue.”
“I see… … !”
Go Hyun-woo’s eyes sparkled.
I realized why I asked you to bring the Dharma statue for this strategy.
Go Hyun-woo took out the Dharma statue from his bosom and asked.
“What should we do now?”
“Leave it here.”
I pointed to a corner of the wall.
And the moment the Dharma statue is placed there.
– Ss …
The wall moved away on its own, revealing a short hallway and a hidden room at the end of it.
It was cleverly camouflaged as a wall using a formation.
As I walked down the hallway and stopped in front of the room, Go Hyun-woo immediately pulled out his iron sword and swung it.
– Crunch!
The door was torn apart, revealing the figure of a middle-aged man hiding inside.
Just by looking at his rich clothes and oily face, you could tell that he was a member of the Geumyoung Group.
His face was filled with shock, as if he had never expected someone to break through the formation.
“Oh, how!”
“peekaboo.”
