Chapter 403
403fury. It might take some acting, but
Please select. You can end their suffering by killing them yourself, or you can have your disciples kill them. I will respect your choice.
At the moment when Cheon-sal forced Baek Su-ryong to choose between two options, Baek Su-ryong was listening to the voice of Changryong Shingeom in his head..
[……I think I found a way.]
very tired voice.
Baeksu-ryong focused his consciousness on Changryongsingeom, letting out a thousand years of bullshit from one ear..
‘I found a way to destroy the magic?’
[It is impossible to completely destroy the magic with my current abilities. However, it may be possible to temporarily take control of the magic and stop them.…….]
Takes control of the technique?
[Rather than dismantling the structure of the technique one by one, we will first contact a part of the dozens of strands of the technique and take control of it. Doing so would be no different from nullifying the magic. After doing that, you can slowly remove the spell..]
Although White Water Dragon was almost illiterate in magic, he was able to roughly understand it..
‘You're saying you're going to steal his technique. Is it possible without being caught??’
[Who do you think I am? I came up with this expedient trick because I lacked strength, but if it were my true self, I would have broken that evil trick in an instant..]
confident voice.
However, in Changryong Shingeom’s next words, I felt a certain solemn determination..
[……However, in order to control that technique, a certain price will be required..]
It was a story about how a certain price is needed to take away control, just as Cheonsal sacrificed the blood of the assassins to perfect his technique..
‘The price is blood?’
[You can't do the same thing as the author to steal the magic..]
‘then?’
[It will cost me my soul. Let's start whenever we're ready..]
‘……what does that mean?’
Fortunately, Cheonsal was enjoying the situation and taking a break, so there was enough time for Baeksuryong to have a conversation with Changryongshingeom..
[Shouldn't we save those people?.]
As if he had already made up his mind, Changryongshingeom persuaded Baeksuryong with a soft voice..
[Although it was a short time, the time I spent with you was very enjoyable. You are a being born with a destiny of destiny. Please prevent the resurrection of blood demons and protect the world from destruction..]
A divine light flowed softly over the blade of the Changryong Shingeom. Ready to sacrifice yourself.
Baek Soo-ryong was firmly opposed..
‘no.’
[…… Don’t be swayed by emotion and be swayed in your judgment. If I could save those people and your disciples with just me, that would be…….]
‘I mean, you just don't have to make any sacrifices..’
It was not that I opposed it because I was driven by politics without any alternative..
The moment he heard Changryong Shingeom say ‘a price is needed’, something suddenly popped into Baek Soo-ryong’s mind..
‘'Cause I have better ingredients.’
[Better ingredients?]
‘Didn't I ever say that? In the past, in the Namgung family…….’
In less than a breath, many conversations were exchanged with Changryong Shingeom. This was because the speed of thought was the speed of conversation..
There were some dangerous moments as I was concentrating on the conversation with Changryong Shingeom, but thanks to Namgungsu, I was able to escape the crisis..
[……Certainly, if you use that as an ingredient, it would be possible. No, on the contrary, it will be full and overflowing..]
“good. Let's try that.”
Baek Soo-ryong, who swept away the Changryong Shingeom, asked Baek Mu-heun and Nam Gung-su a ‘strange request’, and the two readily agreed..
ha ha ha! Haven't you run out of money to choose the third option??
‘Taking away the magic isn't the problem. The most important thing is to not let Cheonsal escape..’
Baek Soo-ryong's accident continued to accelerate..
Even if he took away control of the magic and saved people, it would be meaningless if he lost his thousand years of life here. Cheongryong Academic Center will once again experience a crisis like today..
‘We need to bring this guy out from hiding. but how?’
Baek Su-ryong constantly reviewed, analyzed, and organized the information about the thousand years he had obtained so far and the cards he had. I thought at an alarming speed and made and discarded various plans repeatedly..
like that.
While Cheonsal enjoyed watching Baek Su-ryong's stern expression, Baek Soo-ryong completed his plan to bring him out..
‘It might take some acting, but…….’
Acting to deceive someone has long been an area I have been confident in..
“Then let's get started.”
When Baek Soo-ryong took out a small wooden box from his chest and opened the cover, he saw a half-mangled dark red finger inside..
The finger left by the blood demon of the previous generation.
It was a monster treated as a holy relic of the blood religion, and a secret weapon that would steal the magic of a thousand years..
* * *
‘What are you doing??’
Namgungsu felt doubtful about the huge energy felt behind his back, but kept his gaze straight ahead, remembering Baeksuryong's request..
Baek Soo-ryong’s request to him was simple yet difficult..
-Escort me from now on. Instead, you must never look back at me..
……There have been a time or two when Baek Su-ryong did something incomprehensible..
As promised earlier, Namgungsu did not ask the reason, and instead stood in front of Baeksuryong to protect him..
Woooooooo!
Woooooooo!
The ex-honoma people were running..
Namgoongsu’s brain energy was greatly increased..
In an instant, his golden eyes were filled with brain energy, and lightning bolts rained down in front of him..
Holding support!
The leading demons who were electrocuted by the brain energy fell down, but the demons behind them ignored it and continued to attack. Even those who had fallen were quickly getting up again..
“…….”
Namgungsu lost his brain power without saying a word..
Cheonroe Sword Technique was a martial art that required a lot of internal energy. It was not possible to pour out lightning indefinitely. The same was true for the Emperor Sword type. It's powerful, but not needed at this moment..
‘All I have to do is make time.’
Namgungsu carefully watched the attacks of those running from the front and blocked them with the most efficient trajectory with the least amount of energy wasted..
It was impossible for even the best male archer to protect the white water dragon while dealing with the flock of deserted demons alone..
However, Namgungsu did not even think that it was unreasonable. It's just something I promised, so I just carry out it silently. I was no longer conscious of my uniform getting dirty..
I wonder how much I swung the sword like that, when I heard Baek Soo-ryong's struggling voice from behind..
“……it's okay.”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
An enormous amount of magical energy and evil energy spread out in all directions as if exploding..
The exorcists who were covered in that energy stopped for a moment as if they were out of order..
Namgungsu also felt dizzy and nauseous. It was because he had the energy of opposites, having learned the mental methods of the Namgung family, a prestigious political sect..
……No way, this energy…….
The voice of a thousand years old, muttering as if in a state of ecstasy, echoed throughout the Blue Dragon Academy..
Excitement, joy, and subtle fear were mixed in the voice that could not hide its astonishment, as if it had witnessed something that could not exist..
ha ha ha. Hahahahaha……!
A maniacal laugh so loud that the entire Blue Dragon Academy rang..
And at that moment, some of the soul demons ignored Namgungsu and ran past Baeksuryong..
“White Water Dragon!”
Namgungsu instinctively turned and threw himself away..
For a split second, something red was visible at the edge of his vision, but Namgungsu immediately closed his eyes..
Even if I lost sight, it didn't mean my other senses disappeared. Namgungsu used all five senses other than sight and the spirit of martial arts to block and push away all the attacks of the spirit demons that attacked Baeksuryong..
Then I turned around again and opened my eyes. White Water Dragon was still behind him..
“Is it all over??”
“……It hasn't even started properly yet. But you'll be able to stop his tricks in no time..”
“I didn't know you even learned how to use it..”
“I have a lot of secrets.”
Baek Su-ryong's voice, which forced a smile, was extremely tired. Namgungsu noticed it, but didn’t show it..
“……Please. Please stop me just a little more.”
Baeksuryong said so and squeezed the Blood Demon's fingers in his hand once more..
Drop, drop, drop…….
A few drops of blood flowed down the palm and onto the blade of the Changryongshin Sword..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The sword body of the Changryong Divine Sword became red-hot, and the spirit of the Hyeoncheon Divine Maid residing within it resonated..
[……It's an extremely unpleasant energy, but it must be rare in the world to find a stronger magic ingredient than this..]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The red energy wave extending from the Changryong Shingeom swirled like a typhoon around the Baeksuryong's body, expanding its area..
Ughhh……
Ugh…….
dump. dump. dump. dump.
One by one, the exorcists who entered the area began to fall like dolls whose strings had been cut. The most exhausted dancers began to collapse..
However, Yeokcheon's technique seemed to have a significant effect on the practitioner..
“Cough!”
Baeksu- ryong fell to his knees, coughing up blood. Namgungsu couldn't see it, but he could guess it just from the sound he heard behind him..
Wow!
Woooooo!
The spirit demons who had not fallen yet rushed at the White Water Dragon as if making their last struggle. Among them was Cheongryong Omang. Namgungsu stopped them from harming his teacher..
Chae chae chaeng!
The psychic energy that emanated from the red storm quickly took away Namgungsu's energy..
“Whoo, whoo…….”
However, Namgungsu blocked Baeksuryong's path and blocked all attacks aimed at him until all the exorcists fell..
The matted hair and dirty clothes looked unimaginable when you think of the usual Namgungsu..
Gritting his teeth and holding on with his mental strength, Namgungsu held on until even the last remaining Heonwongang fell to the grass before he got down on one knee..
but it's not over yet.
“A thousand years old…….”
Cheon-sal has not yet appeared..
Namgungsu stood up unsteadily, using his sword as a cane..
If Baek Su-ryong's electric sound had not been heard at that time, Namgung-su would have stood there blocking Baek Soo-ryong until he lost consciousness..
[……You can stop.]
Contrary to what I had feared, Baek Soo-ryong’s electric sound was very clear. Namgoongsu understood what was going on at once..
‘It was acting after all..’
Actually, I thought that might be the case ever since I heard him vomiting blood. Because I'm not the type of person to believe in myself and do things without a plan..
But you won't know for a thousand years.
[Take a deep breath and get some sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over.]
Instead of answering, Namgungsu walked towards the wall and sat down, leaning back. I couldn't lie down on the floor and rest..
Namgungsu, leaning against the wall, tried to look in the direction where Baeksuryong was with blurry eyes, but then remembered his promise and just closed his eyes..
“……I'll assume half of it was paid off today..”
Slurp.
Baek Soo-ryong said something he would never understand and fell asleep with his head down and breathing evenly..
Kwakwakwakwa…….
Before we knew it, the red storm had all subsided..
Clap clap clap.
Cheonsal appeared in front of Baek Su-ryong and was clapping..
“……I finally understand.”
He was looking at Baek Su-ryong with an expression full of joy. In fact, there were goosebumps all over his body..
How could it not be so?.
A man with red eyes and the energy of a reverse heavenly sword is kneeling before his eyes with a pale face..
“How was the Blue Dragon Credit Union able to become famous and become one of the Ten Masters of Murim in such a short period of time? … . haha! Even if they were religious elders, they were warriors who had mastered magic arts anyway, so they would not have been able to properly resist. It would have been a good thing if I hadn't gotten down on my knees! Teacher Baek Soo-ryong. You were hiding a truly unimaginable identity. Haha, hahahaha……!”
Cheonsal, who was talking and laughing in excitement, stopped talking and looked at Baek Soo-ryong with shining eyes..
“However, since the previous Blood Demon, no one has been able to properly master the Reverse Heavenly Art. The reasons vary widely, but all of them died from poisoning or went crazy. Well, there may be some success stories that I don't know about.…….”
“…….”
Baeksu-ryong glared at Cheon-sal with a pale face without saying a word. He was clenching his teeth in anger, but he didn't even seem to have the strength to speak..
“A tearful struggle to save people caught up in alcoholism. I enjoyed it. haha! I never imagined that my magic would be taken away so helplessly. It was taken away without me really being able to do anything. But it wasn't easy for you, right? It looks like you suffered some pretty serious internal injuries.…….”
Jeopuk.
A thousand years is one step closer.
“I have so many questions for you right now. I would like to hear everything about how you learned the Reverse Heavenly Art, why you are hostile to our school, and what your true identity is. But you won't tell me?”
Jeopuk.
one more step.
“I guess I'll just have to kill him too. Because I really want to kill you. Killing a man who was close to a blood demon with his own hands... … . It's thrilling just to imagine it..”
Jeopuk.
And one more step.
“I think today will be the most unforgettable day of my life. I'm thinking of hundreds of ways right now. How should I kill you? If you have any feedback, I would like to consider it. Ah, but I can't do it in a too ordinary way.…….”
A face stained with complete madness came closer. Now it's so close that I can touch it if I stretch out my hand.
Baek Soo-ryong opened his mouth for the first time..
“How long are you going to just talk about it all the time??”
“I really want to talk all night long. But will you cooperate with me?…….”
“I'll cooperate.”
“……!”
Suddenly, Cheon-sal's body became blurred as he felt a strange sensation. However, Baeksu-ryong’s hands were a little faster..
Suddenly.
The White Water Dragon, clutching Cheonsal's wrist, smiled, revealing its white teeth. His eyes were as red as the flames of hell, and even though there was no wind, his red eyes rose to the sky..
“Let's talk all night.”
“this…….”
The expression on Cheon-sal's face, contorted in embarrassment, was still imitating Baeksu-ryong's..
“The only sound that will come out of your mouth is a scream.”
Kwasik!
So Baek Soo-ryong decided to destroy that face first..
