Chapter 388
388fury. That nickname is
It was an exciting night.
An acrobatic troupe dressed in colorful clothes dazzled people's eyes on the street, and the musicians' music delighted their ears..
Children who smelled the sweet smell whined at their parents, and fathers who were thirsty for their children pretended not to be able to resist and put sweets in their children's hands. Even the usually strict mothers didn't nag today..
The entire city was filled with visitors who came to see the Blue Dragon Festival..
Hahahaha!
Even though it was late at night, it was lively with the sounds of children's laughter, the sweet whispers of young lovers, the voices of merchants bargaining with customers, and the voices of warriors chatting while eating and drinking..
Puuk.
“Does everyone look happy? You won't be impressed at all.”
After a while, a voice that seemed to be holding back pain came out with difficulty..
“……how?”
Even with the splendid festival, there was a place where the light did not reach..
A narrow alley without any street stalls or stages, so no light seeps in..
It is also the best place for the assassin to quietly work and hide the body..
“How did I find you??”
“……exactly.”
Sal-su, who had the face of an ordinary middle-aged man, looked down at Bi-su who had entered his abdomen..
The dagger, which was lacquered to prevent it from reflecting light, originally belonged to him, but an attacker who suddenly appeared took the dagger and thrust it into the owner's body..
What happened in an instant.
No matter how good Salmak's skill was, there was nothing he could do as he was caught by the best expert..
“I should have hidden it well.”
Under the soft moonlight, Baek Su-ryong looked at Sal-su with a dreary smile. He pushed Salsu against the wall and whispered.
“Should we talk for a moment??”
“…….”
The smile that had been showing throughout the Blue and White War could no longer be seen on Baek Soo-ryong's face..
Not everything shown in the Blue and White competition was fake..
This is just one of the appearances of the White Water Dragon..
“……just kill it.”
Salsu seemed to calmly accept his own death..
The dagger that stabbed you exquisitely did not immediately cut off your life, but if you twisted it even a little, your internal organs would be torn apart, and you would die, writhing in terrible pain..
A situation where even the blood vessels have already been suppressed..
There was no movable part of his body other than his mouth, and Baeksu-ryong even took away the poison that Salsu had hidden inside his molars, making it impossible for him to commit suicide..
“……Blue Dragon Credit Union. It's more thorough than I heard..”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“To the point where I wonder if you are really a political faction figure..”
“Do you want to check??”
Salsu faced Baek Soo-ryong’s creepy eyes. Despite losing most of my emotions, the hair on my entire body stood on end..
“……Even if you torture them, they won't be able to get any information from me..”
“I guess it's because they're bastards. I am very proud of the topic of water spray. You'll understand if you try it.”
Salsu showed no particular reaction. Rather, he said with a forced smile on his lips..
“Let me tell you one thing..”
“say it.”
“Besides me, several assassins have infiltrated the Blue Dragon Academy. And it's not just you they're after..”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong listened quietly, and Sal-su continued speaking in a calm voice..
“Since you are an unrivaled expert, you must be confident in stopping a sneak attack. But what about other people? What about the people who came to enjoy the festival without knowing anything, fellow instructors, and young students who are not yet finished? I am confident that I can block all the swords aimed at them by myself.?”
It was a strange tone that seemed to show concern for the other person rather than a threat. There was a strange resonance in the voice..
“If you want to protect the people around you, commit yourself to the church. Although you killed two church elders and ruined several plans, the high officials of the church decided to show you mercy..”
“mercy?”
Salsu's voice, which was trembling with pain, gradually regained its calm. He said, looking at Baek Su-ryong with eyes full of concern..
“exactly. If you go to the temple with us, no one will die. But if you refuse, this place will soon be stained with blood.…….”
Salsu's voice had a strange rhyme..
It is a type of sound technique that causes the opponent's mind to become confused, and Five Kills has never failed in a mission by deploying sound power from this distance..
“So listen to me. First, put down this hand and then…….”
“…….”
Ohsal saw Blue Dragon Credit Union's eyes slowly becoming blurred..
No matter how expert you are, there are bound to be gaps when you let your guard down..
Especially when the opponent's abdomen is pierced like now, you wouldn't dare expect them to fight back..
‘My hands are losing strength.’
The moment Blue Dragon Credit Union relaxed its grip on the dagger, Osal was planning to pull out the blade and stab Blue Dragon Credit Union in return..
But his wish did not come true.
“It was surprising that someone talked so much, but it was because of the sound hole..”
When Baek Soo-ryong stretched out his other hand and grabbed Osal's neck, his face turned red as he was choking..
“Ugh……!”
“I've heard of it. Among the assassins of Salmak, there are those who have special talents other than stabbing..”
“……Where did you hear that??”
“About fifty years ago, from the Great Blood Dragon?”
Osal did not react in any way to the nonsensical joke and remained silent..
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled as he suddenly became speechless..
“I'll ask you a few questions, so please cooperate. Then I'll kill you as quickly as possible..”
“…….”
“Since there is no answer, I guess you have no intention of cooperating..”
“…….”
“I can't help it.”
At that moment, Baek Su-ryong’s eyes turned red..
Grumbling!
It seemed as if a red flame had bloomed in the darkness..
Osal's eyes widened in shock as he met those eyes, and soon bloody tears began to flow from both eyes..
I couldn't even turn my head because I was caught by the white water dragon..
“Ugh…….”
My whole body was shaking with fundamental fear..
Salmak, the strongest killing organization in Moorim.
They are killers who are not afraid of pain or death, but they could not help but be terrified in front of the Blood Demon Eye..
Because the root of Salmak is blood religion..
As the energy of the Reverse Heavenly Art was concentrated, Osal's spirit began to quickly collapse..
“Hee hee hee…….”
Osal laughed. It was a smile that forced the corners of his mouth to go up. Bloody tears were still dripping from both eyes..
Baek Soo-ryong took a step back and asked a question..
“How many of Salmak's assassins have sneaked into the Cheongryong Academy??”
Ohsal, who was half out of his mind, knelt down in front of Baeksu-ryong. The dagger stuck in his stomach moved inside, but he didn't even feel pain..
“……The number of people who hid first was five. The rest are waiting…….”
“The total number of people is?”
“I don't know the exact number of people, but most of them have been mobilized.…….”
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong’s expression hardened..
I expected that they would have sent quite a few people, but I never thought they would have mobilized all their tents..
“What is the list of killings? And the exact plan is?”
“The list is known only by a thousand years old.…….”
Osal was slowly dying. The dagger that had penetrated my stomach was touching my organs, and even my mind was broken. Even if I left it alone, it would have died in half an angle..
Of course, Baek Soo-ryong had no interest in such things..
“Where is the thousand years old??”
“No one knows except me…….”
“I don't really know anything.”
When Baek Soo-ryong spoke as if he was disappointed, Osal seemed to think of something and said:.
“If any of the five of us die, each other and the thousand years old will know. Because there is a liquor law involved…….”
“A drinking method? Is it a thousand years old??”
“yes…….”
It was quite useful information. The fact that Cheonsal can use not only martial arts but also magic.
“and…….”
dump.
The moment I continued speaking, Osal suddenly fell sideways..
Perhaps due to the impact of hitting the side of his head, his original light returned to his eyes that had been blurred by the blood demon. It was because he was so close to death that he couldn't control it even with his Blood Demon Eyes..
“What Cheon-sal said was right... … . You are human, closer to us..”
Osal, who had fallen on the floor, looked up at Baek Soo-ryong and laughed..
“Be careful. Because a thousand years old always prepares various plans…….”
It was more of a mockery than a genuine concern. Immediately Osal's eyes stopped breathing and his eyes completely closed..
“I need to catch that thousand-year-old guy first..”
Although the assassin I just killed was quite high-level, it wasn't enough to send me to kill the White Water Dragon..
From that fact, Baek Soo-ryong was able to guess the other person's intentions..
Anticipating that they would be caught from the beginning, they let the five men in first as bait..
To see how Baeksu-ryong reacts..
‘They said that if even one person dies, we will get to know each other. then…….’
At that time, I felt a familiar figure approaching quickly. Baeksu-ryong hurriedly gathered up the energy of the Reverse Heavenly Art..
The person who performed the light attack like flying was Mae Geuk-ryeom. But his expression was quite serious..
“I missed one..”
After a while, Namgungsu and Nohgunsang also gathered from different directions to where the two people were..
“I missed the last one.”
“……Same thing.”
The four people each took charge of one sprinkler and made an agreement in advance that the person who finished the job first would handle the last sprinkler whose location had been identified in advance..
However, all three of them missed the sign of the last spray, and they came to see if Baek Soo-ryong had taken care of the last spray..
But Baek Su-ryong also shook his head..
“It is said that assassins can know each other's fate through magic. If he left the Blue Dragon Academy right away, there would be no way to know..”
Everyone's expressions became serious..
Now that the assassin has completely hid his presence and disappeared into the crowd, finding him has become several times more difficult..
“her! It would be a big problem if the water sprayed outside..”
“I have to go catch it right away..”
“for a moment. That might be what they're after. For now…….”
It was time for everyone to express their opinions with anxious expressions..
“You don't have to worry too much.”
It was a white water dragon. He said while looking at the wide open front door of Cheongryong Academic Hall..
“Just in case, I asked reinforcements to keep an eye on me..”
“Reinforcements? Who else but us??”
Baek Soo-ryong grinned at the three people, especially Mae Geuk-ryeom..
“I was going to keep it a secret until everything was done... … . You'll probably be very happy.”
* * *
Gusal (九殺) hid himself in the crowd and escaped from the Blue Dragon Science Museum..
‘everyone died.’
He learned that five-year-olds, six-year-olds, eight-year-olds, and ten-year-olds had all died thanks to the magic given by Cheon-sal..
The only one who survived was myself. All I could say was that I was lucky..
‘The first plan is a failure. We need to quickly report this fact and make a new plan..’
Gusal naturally blended into the crowd and left the Blue Dragon Science Museum..
Ga Gye and Hao Wen tried to make a fool of themselves, but unless he caused a commotion or used martial arts, there was no chance of their disguise being discovered..
It was as I entered the deserted outskirts of the city that I realized I was being followed..
‘It has a tail.’
Gusal naturally lured his opponent into a dark alley and turned back..
“Are we all there??”
The person who followed him was a man with black lips..
He had a somewhat relaxed posture, a gourd that seemed to contain alcohol in one hand, and a sword hanging from his waist..
“I was already thinking of stopping. I'm afraid to follow you to the killer's den..”
Instead of responding to the opponent's naughty gesture, Gusal rushed forward and pulled out his sword. It was the quick sword that killed me with a single blow that I was most confident in..
‘Finish it in one fell swoop.’
Gusal, like Salsu, preferred short-term decisive battles. The power of internal and external energy was gathered and concentrated on one point..
Even the opponent wearing black lips did not shy away from the fight. While throwing the gourd high into the sky, he took the stance of kicking the sword..
‘It's foolish.’
There is a prejudice that Salsu is weak in a head-on confrontation, but Salmak's Salsu was different. Gusal's single sword had a speed that even the most advanced experts could not avoid..
Under the faint moonlight, the new forms of the two swordsmen crossed..
The string suddenly broke, and the black lip was blown away by the wind. Because of this, the man's face was revealed under the moonlight..
Gusal's pupils dilated for a moment when he saw the other person's face. My composure was shaken for a moment..
“……Cheongryong Credit Union?”
No, it was similar, but different. The texture was softer and had a more mature atmosphere..
At that moment, Gusal remembered his father's nickname among the family relationships of Blue Dragon Credit Union that he had figured out before coming here..
“Okmyeon…….”
“Hey, that nickname is banned..”
At that moment, Gusal's heart cracked open and blood spurted out..
flutter.
Gusal's kneeling body fell to the side, and Baek Moo-heun grabbed the gourd that had fallen down..
“I wonder what kind of trouble this is because I can't even enjoy the festival because of my son..”
Baek Mu-heun picked up the black lip that had fallen on the floor and dusted it off. Then he opened the lid of the gourd and poured out all the remaining alcohol..
