Episode 387
Whiiing!
A cold wind blew.
A frozennd of extreme cold.
I sat on top of the giant yeti carcass and greeted the guests.
“wee.”
“…….”
“Your appearance has changed a lot in the time I haven’t seen you.”
The White-Faced Death God, a white-haired mask, stared in my direction.
The scorched hem of his clothes gave me an idea of where he had been a moment ago.
“How do you feel after leaving the scorching hell?”
“…….”
“Aren’t you being too reticent? “I feel embarrassed when I talk to everyone.”
The interception team began the work of building a road leading to the ruins ording to the strategy established by Jiryong.
As the scope of the Seven Prisons expanded, the demonic cultists who initially responded with iprehensibility began to show rm.
The result is this.
The absolute master who upied the top spot in the eight great demon armies came in person to destroy the formation.
[The key to the operation is two-fold. First, protect the camp from the demonic cultists. Second, the power of the Seven Okjin will be imprinted on the enemies.]
[For that, the head of Cheonangam has a role to y.]
The Seven Okjin is a powerful formation that can trap an absolute expert, but it also has a clear weakness.
It cannot demonstrate its full power until it sucks a sufficient amount of internal energy from the trapped target.
As it is a high-ranking Jin, it is not easily copsed by attacks from the outside, but if the Eight Great Demon Army rampages from within, it could copse in vain.
That’s why the earth dragon asked me to wait inside the formation.
Because I was the only person who had the power to deal with the Eight Great Demon Army and was also familiar with the internal structure of the Seven Prisons.
wickedness!
A sword flew secretly and cut through the sleeve of the clothes.
Because of the driving snowstorm, they almost didn’t notice the surprise attack.
‘I have no intention of having a conversation or anything like that.’
I jumped up, kicking the yeti’s body, and snapped my fingers making a loud noise.
The spheres of brain energy gathered around the White-Faced Death God exploded one after another.
bang! Kwakwakwak!
* * *
They fought fiercely against the White Faced Reaper, using the white earth littered with Yeti corpses everywhere as a stage.
The White-Faced Reaper had be apletely different person than before.
When Ist saw him, he was an old man with a small physique, but now he is an old man with a strong physique.
‘It’s truly an amazing talent.’
Is it because the skeleton, which had been reduced through axial bone drills, was restored?
His skills have improved to the point where they are iparable to before.
The movements were full of force.
It was hard to believe that he had a sword wound on his side.
‘Still, it’s still manageable.’
I drew a sinister smile on my lips and swung my left arm wide.
Five needles protruding from the sleeve flew towards the White Face Reaper in a semicircr trajectory.
The white-faced reaper must have sensed the extraordinary power contained in each needle, kicking off the ground and taking a big leap.
‘I got caught.’
A needle that looked like it would hit the ground at any moment suddenly changed its trajectory and soared up.
The white-faced reaper nced at the needle that narrowly grazed his knee and urgently raised his self-defense skills to protect himself.
Kwaaaaang!
A tremendous explosion engulfed his new form.
A snowy field with a thick snowstorm.
At first nce, it seemed like an advantageous battlefield for the White Faced Reaper, but in reality, it was not so.
White thunder, scattering pure white brilliance, matches well with the harsh coldnd.
I didn’t use this as a stage for fighting over other sections for no reason.
‘oh.’
I opened my eyes wide as the dust cleared and the sight of the White Faced Reaper was revealed.
Unfortunately, it didn’t make much of a difference.
However, there were notable achievements.
‘Yes, even if he is the strongest of the Eight Great Demons, he is still human in the end.’
Beyond the half-broken mask.
Drops of blood flowing along the wrinkled skin were noticeable.
It was evidence that the response was slightly dyed.
I immediately closed the distance without giving my opponent time to adjust his stance.
The seventeenth herbivorous snow month.
The road was dizzyingly curved, like light reflecting off the curves of the ground.
Kakakakak!
The White-faced Shinigami blocked all sword strikes with the iron ring located inside his tanned sleeve.
Then, he naturally pulled me into the gap and punched me in the chest.
Wow!
Although I covered the impact point with my palm in time, a huge shock hit my body.
I corrected my posture in the air, got down to the ground, and stuck out my tongue.
‘You’re very talented.’
You can block all attacks just by lightly shaking your wrist.
It was easy to say, but it was a skill that the average warrior would not even dare to imitate.
Phew!
Two daggers sticking out through the snow-covered ground attacked me from left and right.
I immediately rotated my body around my left foot and unfolded the Wolyeonggeom.
The fourteenth herbivorous month (來月).
He drew the dagger that was touching the tip of the sword towards his body.
He then guided it to collide with a dagger flying from the opposite direction.
Immediately after a sharp metallic sound rang out.
“Sigh!”
I kicked the ground hard.
The white-faced reaper digging into the side was buried in a rising snowbank.
‘this.’
I covered my abdomen with my sword and prepared for the impact that would soon hit my body.
A heavy kicknded on the sword face.
The new model bounced helplessly andnded on the rock behind it.
The umted snow was pouring down and blocking the view.
‘I thought I responded well, but I never thought my momentum would decrease at all in that situation.’
Aftering out of the snowdrift, I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and mumbled.
The White-Faced Reaper just watched me from afar and did not attack me further.
‘Why? I’m not the type of person to miss this golden opportunity.’
Sigh!
It didn’t take long for the question to be resolved.
With an unpleasant noise, the air behind him split open, forming a passage leading outside.
The cross section was not as clean as if it had been cut with a knife.
It was tattered like rags and looked as if it had been forcibly pulled and torn.
“…….”
The White-Faced Reaper, who was ring at me while fixing his broken mask, escaped the harsh coldnd and disappeared.
The space that had been shaking uneasily was soon restored and returned to its original state.
He was a person who was as quick-witted as he was talented.
It seemed like he instinctively realized that it would be dangerous if the power of the Jinbeop increased beyond this.
‘Damn it.’
I cursed internally and sat down with my butt on the ground.
There was no reward in directing the opponent’s movements by creating aposition in which the team was pushed back little by little.
I never thought it would be possible to tear apart space and run away in a coldnd other than a white zone.
The Hundred-Faced Reaper was definitely a step above me in terms of how to use artificial forms.
Of course, since the direction of enlightenment was different, he would not be able to perform the same skills as me.
If the power of the Seven Prisoners had been fully unleashed, it would have been impossible for him to escape.
‘If the intruder had been Emperor Pengcheon Demon or Lord Cheonak, they could have definitely trapped him, stopped him, and killed him.’
As much as I stretched my imagination thinking about meaningless assumptions, nothing changed.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel regretful, but I decided to think positively for now.
‘No matter what, the rules were maintained.’
The Baek-faced Reaper, who escaped the camp alive, would return to the friendly camp and tell them what he had experienced.
How dangerous the Chilokjin is.
From now on, no magician will dare to set foot within the truew.
‘Now all that’s left is.’
All we need to do is prepare for an all-out war.
The final battle is not far away.
* * *
The Chilokjin expanded its scope step by step and eventually reached the immediate vicinity of the camp established by the demonic cultists.
The interception team was fully prepared and watched the movements of the Demonic Bridge.
A quiet tension lingered throughout the camp.
Everyone knew.
The time for decisive battle is imminent.
“Hit!”
“Kill the hypocrites of the political faction!”
“Wipe out every single one left behind!”
It was close to noon.
Finally, the demon cultists jumped out of the fence.
Iughed fiercely as I looked at the waves of demonic forces rushing in, shaking the earth.
Everything was going ording to the earth dragon’s n.
There were no unfavorable conditions for our troops.
Now all he had to do was win the battle of pure power.
Wow!
The demons and the drones of the interception unit collided and engaged in a fierce battle.
The sound of weapons shing rang out loudly.
I kicked the air and fell straight towards therge man standing in the middle of the enemy lines.
“There will be no more ce to retreat. Let’s get to the end soon.”
“Yes, I will definitely kill you today!”
The male Bungcheon Demon Emperor exploded his lion’s tail and threw out a fist filled with energy.
The entirend of the area was turned upside down due to the collision between the two absolute masters.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
* * *
Crumbling!
The broken wall spilled onto the floor, raising a cloud of dust.
The man stepped into the underground space, blowing away the dust with his hand, and cracked his neck with a loud sound.
The night pearl embedded in the ceiling revealed the new form of the man who had been hidden in darkness.
Smooth bald head and bronzed skin.
A bag made by mixing Hancheol and a Gokdo worn on the back.
“I think I’ll buy something now.”
The man’s identity was Woo Ga-jin, a temporary member of the Cheonan Inspectorate.
Those who appeared after them let out soft exmations of exmation.
All that is visible is the gray walls, floor, and ceiling.
The group had now arrived at the ruins located inside the tomb.
“Whoa.”
Seo Ho-seon, the man in ck, rxed with a nervous expression.
Sa Woo-yeon, standing next to him, inspected the weapons tied to his waist with a calm expression.
Zhuge Hye and Zhuge Hyeok-jin, blood rtives of the Zhuge family, were also included in the group.
The strength of two people was absolutely necessary to ovee the traps that were set up throughout the ruins.
“It worked out as nned.”
The person who initiated the operation to infiltrate the ruins was none other than Zhuge Hye.
[I have one additional suggestion.]
[Tell me.]
[I think it would not be a bad idea tobine the two operations mentioned above.]
[……?]
[If you are going to do it, then How about digging a tunnel at the same time as making a road?]
[Didn’t they say that tunnels have a high risk of being discovered by enemies?] [
If a tunnel is dug under the road made by the enemy, it will be possible to hide the noise caused by the digging and work. .]
[What benefit will our allies gain from this?]
[The enemies will probably bide their time and hold out until just before Jin reaches the tomb. If we aim for that point, I think we can infiltrate a small number of people into the ruins.] [It’s a
good idea.]
[As the elder said a little while ago, our goal is to hinder the Demonic Cult from achieving its goal. If the people deployed to the ruins can seize the items the demons are trying to obtain, there would be no better result.]
