Episode 515


    : Rattle!


    On a shaking cart.


    I was escorted by members of the torpedo squad and focused on my luck.


    It was difficult to maintain concentration because my body was constantly shaking, but I needed to push myself a little to replenish the energy I had lost by running a long way without resting.


    ‘The effect of the elixir is good. It’s a bit of a waste, but…’


    The spiritual energy that could not be embodied escaped from the body and dissolved into the air.


    There was more energy blown away than absorbed.


    Still, there was no better way to quickly fill empty danjeon.


    ‘I didn’t know it would be used this way.’


    Originally, I had an elixir as a reserve in case I had to use a bomb attack.


    However, he used it to save the life of Gamwon, who had previously been seriously injured.


    When this fact was ryed to the Shaolin Temple, the Buddha called me separately and gave me a small tablet as a gift in return.


    A Shaolin’s secret elixir that is said to give you the strength of a half-gap just by taking it.


    I didn’t think about it at the time.


    I had no idea that the item I had received with such curiosity would be used like this.


    ‘Originally, I wanted to feed it to Master.’


    Before the reinforcements led by Sohyeongeom and Master Baekmang joined and a pursuit team was formed to chase after the Demon Cultist.


    It was when I tried to take Summoning Dan to my teacher, who was on the brink of death due to the side effects of the Pokjam magic attack.


    [No need.]


    [……Master?]


    Is it because of his body that boasts incredible performance, or is it because of his superhuman mental strength?


    Master, who thought he would not wake up without proper treatment, regained consciousness, albeit briefly.


    He was breathing irregrly, as if he would break off at any moment, and he said this to me.


    [You take it yourself. Shouldn’t we prepare for a battle with the cult leader?]


    [Saving the teacher is more important than defeating the cult leader.]


    [I know my body best. Even if I don’t eat the summoning group, I can live.]


    [No. Even if you say that, I cannot be at ease as someone who has personally examined the physical condition of the Master.] [


    Do you by any chance have a small name tablet?]


    [Yes.]


    [Good. Give it to me and go.]


    [The side effects of the bombing magic attack cannot be treated with just a short list. It’s like pouring a bucket of water on a burning house.]


    [I also didn’t use the bomb attack without any preparation. Of course, I kept the side effects in mind and prepared an elixir, even though it was a yawn.]


    […….]


    [If you take it along with the Somyeongdan, at least you won’t die. So, don’t worry and just focus on chasing down the cult leader.]


    Like me, Master was also a stubborn person to the point of telling the bull to go away.


    I reluctantly nodded after confirming the authenticity with Sogeolgae.


    [Do not use the explosive magic attack.]


    [Yes?]


    [The Demon Cult Master… has already prepared a countermeasure against the explosive magic attack…]


    The teacher holds on to hisst strength. After giving me advice, he lost consciousness again.


    “Whoa.”


    After a short fortune-telling exercise, I opened my eyes and was lost in thought.


    Considering the testimony of those who watched the fight between the cult leader and the teacher, it was clear that there was a preparedness n in ce to subdue the opponent who had used the magic attack.


    It had to be considered virtually impossible to use the power of Geumgong to fight against the religious leader.


    ‘Does not matter. ‘Because I had no intention of relying on the diving magic attack in the first ce.’


    Since I took the Summoning Team in advance, there was no more backing for me.


    I had to face the cult leader purely with my own skills.


    ‘It won’t be the same as before. ‘Cult leader.’


    * * *


    ‘How dare you…’


    Now, the Ma leader remembered the face of his only remaining disciple and clenched his fist.


    My fingernails dug into my skin and blood flowed out.


    The expression ‘four-faced song’ is probably used in times like these.


    In the north, government soldiers and foreigners.


    To the south, a pursuit party led by the Dragon King and the Demon Ghost.


    ‘It is impossible to cross the Great Wall of China before the pursuit party arrives.’


    Although the Empress of the North Sea was a powerful person, she was not her rival.


    The problem was time.


    Basically, inrge-scale battles, the defensive side had an advantage over the attacking side.


    Especially if it is a siege rather than a revolution.


    We had to cheer up our exhausted allies and face the enemies who were waiting with full preparation, but there was no way that we could end it in a short decisive battle.


    In the end, there was only one option for us to choose.


    ‘I give up on returning to the headquarters via Sae-o-e (塞外).’


    If they tried to force their way over the Great Wall of China, they would be attacked from both front and back and would be annihted.


    On the other hand, if you gave up on advancing north, the enemies you had to deal with could be limited to warriors of the right faction.


    ‘There is a principle of non-aggression against government affairs, so the government soldiers will not attack this side first.’


    It was an obvious story.


    Originally, government officials were not supposed to intervene in disputes between martial people.


    They probably would have used the excuse that they were only faithful to protecting the country’s borders when announcing this incident to the public.


    If someone asks about the immigrants, they will say that it is just a brief invitation for an agreement or transaction.


    ‘More than anything, you won’t feel the need to move. If we stay still, the demonic cult and the political faction will sh and waste their power, so there is no reason to take any losses.’


    For the same reason, foreigners from outside the city would not leave the walls.


    Although the Empress of the North Sea holds a grudge against her, even if she tries to make an unexpected move, the officials will not just sit by and watch.


    ‘Damn it.’


    So, it was clear that if they didn’t attack first, they wouldn’t make much of a move either.


    Of course, even if the enemies you are dealing with are limited to warriors of the political faction, it still remains a hopeless situation.


    ‘We’ve gotten quite close before we know it.’


    The leader, standing in the air, strengthened his eyes and tried to sweep away the pursuit team that was approaching at every moment.


    At the head of the unit was a familiar face.


    ‘I can’t figure it out. How much has it grownpared to before?’


    What shes through my mind is the image of the Dragon King responding flexibly to his surprise attack.


    We only exchanged a sum, but I could tell.


    That he has be stronger than before.


    Unleash the necessary attack at the right moment to deflect the enemy’s attack with minimal force.


    Although it was easier said than done, the Dragon King did it naturally.


    ‘good night.’


    Ma Cyoju’s eyes became harsh.


    If he grew any further, he might be a monster that even he couldn’t handle.


    Now that things were like this, I thought it would be a good idea to nip it in the bud.


    ‘I’ll kill you for sure this time.’


    * * *


    ‘What situation is that?’


    I looked back and looked at the demonic cultists forming a line right in front of the Great Wall of China, with a puzzled expression on their face.


    I thought I would just leave the country and head to Shaanxi’s headquarters.


    Why do you suddenly stop in ce and prepare for a fight?


    ‘…That?’


    It took some time to understand what was going on.


    Officers lined up on the castle walls and immigrants wearing clothing that was clearly different from that of the central ins.


    Looking at the situation, it seemed that the Demonic Church side was also embarrassed because they could not anticipate the current situation.


    ‘Could it be that Sosalma-kun did something?’


    Because of theck of information, I could only think that way.


    In the current situation, who else could be the one who would stab the religious leader other than Sosalmagun?


    Whatever it was, it was a good thing from this side.


    It was safe to say that if the main force of the Demonic Cult, which had no ce to escape, was annihted here, the Great War of True Demons would virtuallye to an end.


    It was worth consuming the precious summons.


    Everything will end here.


    “Are you feeling okay?”


    Sohyeongeom came up next to me and asked me a question.


    I bowed my head politely and thanked him.


    “yes. It’ste to say thank you. “If you hadn’te, it would have been really dangerous.”


    I felt truly grateful to Sohyeongeom.


    If it weren’t for him, Master wouldn’t have escaped the battlefield alive.


    I never thought I would get help from him at such a critical moment.


    “What? I also owe you a favor. “Isn’t it thanks to you that the Volcanic Sect was able to survive?”


    “…….”


    “So what is it like?”


    “What are you asking?”


    “Has your view of the Senate changed at all?”


    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. “I have never viewed the Senate in a negative light to begin with.”


    You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it with a longing gaze.


    Perhaps he was satisfied with my answer? Sohyeongeom’s eyes narrowed.


    Master Baekmang, who was following closely behind and eavesdropping on the conversation between me and Sohyeongeom, let out a chuckle.


    “Elder. “Pleasee back to the center of the formation.”


    Seolmaedaeju (雪梅隊主), who had secretly followed next to me, spoke with concern.


    He seemed to feel anxious because Sohyeongeom was uncharacteristically at the forefront.


    “I’ll just go back to my seat. “It’s really cumbersome to be in a position where you have tomand troops.”


    Sohyeongeom clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed, asked for my understanding, and then retreated to the rear with Master Baekmang.


    I chuckled as I stared at the two elders quickly moving away.


    ‘Anyway, it’s sly.’


    Perhaps, Daeju Seolmae did not voluntarily advise Sohyeongeom, but rather acted after receiving instructions through a message.


    It was truly worthy of being an elder to take care of one’s own safety in the face of a decisive battle.


    It was an attitude that should be imitated.


    Doo doo doo doo!


    The distance with the Demonic Church quickly narrowed.


    The gaze of the religious leader, who had stepped through the air andnded on the ground, intersected with my gaze in the air.


    Ugh!


    A swordsmanship arose.


    As if responding to my emotions, the sword I held in my hand let out a cold anticipation.


    Absolutely!


    The brain energy spheres formed in front generated powerful energy waves and scattered them around.


    As if in response, the demonic leader poured out magical energy from his entire body.


    Just a moment ago, he looked clearly addicted and exhausted, but I don’t know what he had done in the meantime, but he seemed fine.


    ‘No, even if it looks good on the outside, it’s far from perfect.’


    I calmed my pounding heart and strengthened the hand holding the sword.


    It was a fight worth fighting.


    ‘I will ept the reward for making you like that, Master. ‘Cult leader.’


    Quaaaaaaaaaaa!


    There was a roar as the two armies shed.


    The final battle that will put an end to the long evil rtionship has begun.
