Chapter 401
401fury. As I live
As Cheonsal activated the spell, the blood flowing from his wound vaporized and amplified the power of the spell..
Tsutsutsu…….
The blood-red fog seemed to cover the body of the thousand-year-old, but it expanded in an instant and spread over hundreds of sheets in an instant..
[Don't touch it! That is…….]
―Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A speed closer to an explosion rather than an expansion..
There was no warning before the technique was activated, and Cheonsal was not afraid of getting hurt..
Baeksu-ryong had no choice but to take the energy of the magic from the front..
“……!!”
White Water Dragon's body trembled as if struck by lightning..
I became dazed, my mind became cloudy, and I was caught up in the sensation that the world was turning upside down. I felt like I was falling endlessly down a cliff..
As my senses grew further away from reality, I began to hear auditory hallucinations and see visions..
The place where Baeksu-ryong arrived after the fall was Baekryongjang..
-teacher!
Heon Won-gang, Wi Ji-cheon, Yeo-min, Geo Sang-woong, Ya Su-hyeok.
It was the voice of the disciples. Baeksu-ryong turned his head and looked for them. A figure was seen running from afar and waving. Everyone's uniforms were covered in dust, probably because they had been training..
‘Stay there. Because it's dangerous because there's still life left..’
Baek Soo-ryong spoke, but the disciples did not listen..
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head as he saw the children running towards him with bright smiles. Anyway, I'm so disobedient..
At that time, the masked people suddenly appeared and started attacking the disciples..
‘no!’
They were blood cultists..
In the hands of the enemies, magical techniques that Baeksu-ryong knew well unfolded. Among them were some that he improved..
‘Stand, teacher!’
‘help!’
‘why do we have to die…….’
A scream erupted and blood spread. As the disciples were bleeding, they cried out to their teacher for help..
‘Stop! It means stop!’
Baeksu- ryong ran with all his might to save his disciples, but the distance did not narrow. I had no choice but to helplessly watch my disciples die..
dump.
The moment Baek Su-ryong kneeled down.
Some of the evil beasts that harmed the disciples turned around and took off their masks..
-Instructor.
A shock as if being hit on the head with a hammer hit White Water Dragon..
‘why are you guys…….’
old disciples.
The old disciples, covered in blood, were looking at themselves with empty eyes. Standing on the puddle of blood shed by Blue Dragon Omang.
-Didn't you know it would turn out like this?
Ilho, whose face was full of black marks, made a fishy sneer..
-Did you make us like this so that you could be the only one to find happiness??
The other guys behind him also silently agreed with Ilho's words..
‘you guys…….’
At that moment, Baek Soo-ryong realized that this was not reality..
It was all an illusion created by Cheon-sal's techniques..
If it was your first time experiencing it, you might have been helpless, but haven't you already experienced similar techniques several times?.
Above all.
‘If it were really you guys, you wouldn't even have that resentment..’
-…….
Baek Soo-ryong glanced at his former disciples with a bitter expression, then closed his eyes and concentrated his mind..
As long as you recognized that it was a trick, it wasn't difficult to break away from it. Moreover, he had the best magician in the world by his side..
[Come to your senses!]
The voice of Changryong Shingeom clearly awakened Baeksuryong’s mind. The moment the evil magic energy faltered in surprise, Baeksu-ryong immediately unleashed a reverse heavenly attack..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The most thuggish energy in the world burned away the sticky energy of the magic that had seeped into my body. Quickly my senses returned to reality. Baeksu-ryong immediately swung the Changryongsin Sword and cut a thousand lives..
“……how?”
Cheonsal narrowly stepped back and avoided the attack. And I looked at Baeksu-ryong with surprised eyes..
His eyes, which had been blurry just a moment ago, were showing a terrifying murderous look..
“……It's been a long time since I felt this dirty..”
Puhwaaaak!
The blue long guns were flapping like crazy. Not only did his hair color not turn red, but Baeksu-ryong was already raising his Reverse Heavenly Art..
However, the White Water Dragon did not hastily attack Cheonsal..
It was because he realized that he was not the only one who fell victim to the magic of a thousand years..
“Cough!”
“Cough!”
“Cough!”
Ak Yeon-ho, Myeong Il-oh, and Zhuge So-young were coughing up a handful of blood. Black blood began to rise like leeches on their necks, and soon spread to their faces and entire bodies..
“Ugh……!”
The same was true for Noh Gunsang. He looked a little better than the previous three, but he was also gritting his teeth and enduring the pain..
“……What did you do??”
Baek Su-ryong glared at Cheon-sal with a murderous expression. The red-hot energy overflowing from the Changryong God Sword was ready to rip a thousand lives to shreds at any moment..
however.
“Will the spell work if you kill me??”
Stop.
The river that was surging over the Changryongshingeom slowly subsided. Cheonsal saw that and sighed in relief..
“Well thought out. If people who are important to you die with me, you will lose more..”
“…….”
Baek Soo-ryong tried to remain calm..
I knew that getting excited wouldn't help at all in this situation..
But there was no reason to hide the fact that he was angry..
“If one of you here dies, I will rip off your limbs, cut out your tongue, scoop out your eyes, skin you, pickle you in salt, and kill you very slowly..”
Cheon-sal's eyes actually sparkled at the threat that was full of serious murder..
“These are methods commonly used at our school. I think you tried it yourself, is that correct??”
“There are probably many things you have never experienced. Let me experience it one by one slowly..”
“haha! It's a very interesting story... … . Let me put aside my personal curiosity for a moment and tell you one thing..”
Cheonsal put his lips together and whistled lightly. Then, the people who were affected by the magic began to moan in even more pain..
“If I make up my mind, they'll all die..”
“…….”
[I'm currently trying to figure out the author's method structure, so please wait a moment..]
Changryongsingeom spoke in an angry voice and trembled..
Fortunately, Cheonsal did not know her identity..
But I looked at the sword with a curious expression, wondering if I could sense its presence..
“I knew it wasn't an ordinary sword, but... … . I didn't know it was a treasure containing the power of an anti-demon. It's a technique I've been preparing for a very long time, but I didn't expect it to come off so easily..”
Cheonsal was confident that the White Water Dragon would not attack him..
All that was left was to enjoy the last night of the festival..
“The original plan was to brainwash the teacher, have his students kill him, and then release the brainwashing. But that might be a bit difficult. I need to change my methods..”
“……How did you cast a spell on me? There is no way to do it,.”
I had to take my time while Changryong Shingeom analyzed the Cheonsal technique. Fortunately, Cheonsal readily answered the question..
“To put it as simply as possible, I used my blood as a medium to perform the magic trick..”
“blood?”
Baek Soo-ryong was finally able to find common ground among the people affected by the spell..
Ae Yeon-hao, Ming Il-o, Zhuge Shao-ying, and Lu Jun-sang's clothes were all stained with the blood of a thousand years old. It must have splattered while hurting a thousand people, and some of it landed on the body..
It was the same for Baek Su-ryong. Blood was splattered on the sleeve of the long sleeve, and although it was a small amount, blood was also splattered on the back of the hand..
“……Did you intentionally create a wound to perform your magic??”
“There was no need to do that. They were all so good at martial arts that they cut me to pieces without difficulty..”
It was a crazy plan..
Even if it was just a little bit off, you might have died before you could use the technique..
But Cheonsal was a person who did such things without any hesitation..
“Since ancient times, blood has been a powerful ingredient in magic. The religious sect gradually distanced itself from the use of human blood, saying it was evil, but the blood religion further developed it..”
“……no way.”
It was a story even Baek Soo-ryong knew..
But the shock he received now was beyond imagination..
Because the method that Cheon-sal is talking about now is…….
“I didn't know that the Blood Demon's techniques were passed down to a mere assassin..”
The blood demon of the previous generation was the greatest warrior in the world and also a magician who reached a rare level of royalty. At the time, the ghost who was an elder of eight was known as a magician representing the blood religion, but he could not even dare to compare himself with the blood demon..
Among them, the blood magic technique using the blood of cultists was considered one of the most bizarre and powerful magic techniques in the world..
“how do you do that?”
This time, Cheonsal also looked blank for a moment, probably because he was genuinely surprised..
“The more you look, the more you... … . Not many people, even among elders, know that. I'm really curious, so could you please tell me??”
The thousand-year-old's expression even looked earnest..
Of course, it wasn't Baek Su-ryong who would tell you that..
“If you release the spell on people, I'll think about it..”
“hmm. Then you can do it like this.”
With a conversation that is somehow strangely out of sync.
Beep profit-
As Cheon-sal blew a long whistle, black blood disappeared from the painful bodies of Ak Yeon-ho, Myeong Il-o, Zhuge So-yeong, and Noh Gun-sang..
“Huh. Heo Eok…….”
“what are you doing to us…….”
“Everyone, everyone is okay.?”
The four people sitting on the floor were breathing heavily. The magic energy was disappearing from their bodies..
‘I really solved the magic trick?’
Baek Soo-ryong did not raise his suspicions..
Because there was no reason for Cheonsal to suddenly withdraw his magic from the bodies of four people..
Sure enough.
Cheonsal said with a grin..
“It's a bit difficult for me to maintain multiple techniques at the same time..”
The reason Cheonsal removed the magic from the four people's bodies was to unleash an even bigger magic..
“I had some expectations that the technique might not work on the teacher..”
So, Cheon-sal took out other insurance in advance..
‘Pretending to be popular?’
Baek Su-ryong felt a figure approaching this way..
It wasn't just one or two. A considerable number of figures were approaching in the darkness..
“To kill a tax expert, you always have to be thoroughly prepared..”
Baeksu- ryong recalled that the moment Cheon-sal first activated the technique, the red energy wave expanded and spread hundreds of miles out..
I was wondering why the magic wave spread so far, but now I think I understand..
“……The assassins were sacrifices. What you need to practice magic.”
“you're right. It's nice that you understand quickly and don't have to explain things for a long time..”
Cheonsal engraved a spell in advance on all assassins who infiltrated the Blue Dragon Academy..
The assassins knew that it was for Cheonsal to determine their location, but the real reason was different..
“The blood of a warrior who has mastered magic is a powerful ingredient in itself. Moreover, if the resentment of the dead is absorbed, it becomes a perfect state for performing magic..”
The number was dozens, no, more than a hundred people..
The warriors who had lost their sense were approaching, surrounding Baeksu-ryong. Murim League, openness, Haomun. There were quite a few faces Baek Soo-ryong knew..
It was a blood religion technique perfected by sacrificing the blood of dozens of assassins who had mastered magic arts..
[Could it be that there was such an evil technique in the blood religion?……!]
Changryongshingeom, who was analyzing the art of a thousand years of life, was astonished..
And the white water dragon.
“Even you guys…….”
When he saw the five people approaching from the front, his expression became cruelly distorted..
The disciples, who did their best to fight against the assassins better than anyone else and were covered in their blood, ended up getting caught in Cheonsal's techniques..
The people seen behind them were warriors who fought with all their might and risked their lives. They were waiting quietly, but with eyes bereft of reason, for the order of the thousand-year-old..
“Teacher Baek Soo-ryong. Have you ever heard of ‘talhonmain’??”
“…….”
“This is a technique that temporarily turns an ordinary warrior into a soulless demon. The activation conditions are strict and require a lot of ingredients, and it is not a long-lasting technique.…….”
Cheonsal grinned and slowly took a step back..
“It'll be enough for us to enjoy tonight..”
Slurp.
Although Cheon-sal hid himself in the darkness, the White Water Dragon did not chase him. It was overwhelming just to care about the ex-honoma people right in front of me..
“Water dragon! Are you okay??”
Baek Mu-heun, who had not been seen for a while, ran to Baek Soo-ryong..
The moment Cheon-sal performed an unusual technique, Baek Mu-heun immediately evacuated Mae Geuk-ryeom to a safe place and returned..
The father and son sighed in relief after seeing that each other was safe..
But it was too early to be reassured. Baek Soo-ryong said with a stern expression..
“Father, please protect the governor and instructors..”
“……i get it. Be careful.”
Baek Mu-heun nodded with a heavy expression and retreated to the wall, taking the completely exhausted instructors with him..
Fortunately, the only target for the Talmoon Demons was the White Water Dragon, so they paid no attention to others..
White Water Dragon gritted his teeth as he looked at the familiar faces, especially Blue Dragon Omang, who did not recognize him. His eyes wavered as memories of his past life overlapped..
“……Just be patient. I'll bring you back to your senses soon.”
It was when Baek Soo-ryong looked at his disciples with a firm, determined expression..
Rumbling!
It was Namgungsu who landed in front of the White Water Dragon with a thunderbolt. A white electric current sprang from his body..
“Damn it…….”
Baek Soo-ryong frowned as he remembered Nam Gung-su’s formidable martial arts skills. When you become an enemy, you are a more difficult opponent than anyone else. Baek Soo-ryong clenched his fist tightly, intending to defeat Namgung-su with all his might..
If it weren't for the voice I heard at that moment, I would have immediately swung my fist..
“white water dragon.”
Baek Soo-ryong was rather surprised by Namgung-su's usual normal voice..
“Why are you fine? I'm sure blood splattered on you too.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong soon realized the reason..
There were no drops of blood anywhere on Namgoongsu’s clothes..
Namgungsu did not tolerate foreign substances on his body..
Even if there were a few drops of blood on it, it would have been immediately burned by lightning..
“……There are days in life when your mediocrity comes in handy..”
Namgungsu looked around and said with a calm expression..
“In the future, we should teach students to pay more attention to hygiene..”
“In this situation, that's a joke…….”
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled because it was absurd..
Anyway, thanks to that, my intense emotions calmed down to some extent..
Baek Soo-ryong, who had regained his composure, spoke to Namgung-su..
“Let's get this sorted out first, then catch that thousand-year-old bastard and kick him..”
“Don't do that.”
The two had their backs to each other and looked at the crowd of Talonma people..
