My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 324
Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province.
The city, not far from Songshan, had maintained relative stability even as the world descended into chaos..
The efforts of the Shaolin Temple to care for the people's livelihood even under difficult circumstances, befitting its reputation as the Taesanbukdu of the martial arts, had a great influence even on the nearby sects, who had no choice but to pay attention to them..
Of course, the effect weakens rapidly the further away you are from Shaolin Temple, and in provinces other than Henan, there are many people who commit evil acts under the name of Shaolin's secular sect.···.
Jeongju, who was adjacent to Seongsan Mountain and was also a saint, was paying special attention to Shaolin Temple, so there was no concern in that regard..
And near the border of the settlement, where the shape of the city is vaguely visible in the distance,—.
“Boom! First of all, I came this far.”
A man with messy hair was scratching his wild beard and frowning..
“For some reason, it feels like I've been played by someone's trick, right? Now that I think about it, I think I was too hasty..”
He paused for a moment, crossing his arms and thinking about something, then quickly shook his head and resumed his steps..
I've come this far, but now I can't go back, right??
Plus he knew himself well..
Since I have already confirmed the facts myself when I came here, I know that even if I could turn back time, I would make the same choice this time..
‘Yeah, from what I've heard, it seems like there's quite a bit of work to do..’
The two eyes shining through the gaps in the hair that covered my eyes burned brightly..
What dwells within it is vivid anger.
Without even trying to hide his emotions, he growled lowly like a wild animal whose territory was invaded..
“How dare you impersonate this body? ...No, looking at his actions, I don't think simple impersonation is his goal..”
crispy—
As he slowly moved forward, a stone beneath his feet crumbled into powder..
The energy naturally radiating from his body crushed the surrounding bushes and pressed them to the ground..
“After all, this is about fighting. The fact that you provoked me and made me come directly shows how confident you are.?”
A wild smile appeared on the face that was muttering softly..
He was also so aggressive that he would get up from his sleep if there was a fight..
“Phew, then let’s see your face?”
His name is Mokin-gwang.
He was a man known to the public by the nickname ‘Gwangma’..
***
Gwangma (狂魔), crazy devil.
It was a nickname that clearly revealed Mo In-gwang's rebellious tendencies..
If there was something he didn't like, he wouldn't hesitate to attack and bite like a mad dog..
In the process, not only did he not choose any means or methods, but he even sacrificed his life more than once to spoil the opponent..
Due to his vicious nature of attacking not only righteous and evil, but also the size of power, it was inevitable that danger and death would always lurk around him..
If his skills were a little lacking, he would have been forgotten as just one of the idiots in the world.···.
‘I'm still alive like this.’
He proudly overcame all crises and used them as a foundation for growth, and was able to stand tall as one of the strongest men in the entire martial arts world..
It was around that time that he, who started off with the insignificant nickname of Mad Dog, ended up being called Gwangma..
In this chaotic world, how amazing it is to live the way you want without being swayed by your surroundings.!
And doesn't the fact that he's still alive and well after acting like that represent his value??
‘however···.’
Therefore, for Mo In-gwang, the weight of his star name was never light..
It was the trajectory of his life, a medal to prove his intense life, and a proof of himself that he had reached in the end..
“How dare you touch it?”
Two days.
This was the time it took for him to arrive in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to pinpoint the location of the criminal..
nettle—
His body quickly cut through the wind and crushed space..
Of course, the information he just obtained did not come from his own efforts..
Where many people gather, people doing secret work tend to hide in, and among them there are those who handle information professionally..
All he did was find them and ask for their cooperation in a very kind and gentle way..
‘I didn't know you were that capable..’
Even though it had only been a short time since the intelligence organization was entrusted with it, they reported in detail the target's past movements and their estimated current location..
Even if the other person was a person of interest recently, I didn't expect that he could do that much in such a short period of time..
‘You're lucky..’
Mokin-kwang grinned and raised the corners of his mouth..
Now, more than 20 years have passed since the imperial palace incident occurred..
It took a lot of luck to find useful people among the intelligence organizations that had spread all over the place after the fall of the beggars' defense system, openness..
But things were going smoothly from the start, so I couldn't have felt bad..
‘Things would have been easier if openness had been maintained..’
But it was inevitable.
Begging can only be done if there are people who can afford it..
In this ugly world where it is difficult for everyone to live, there was no way for a group where most of the members were ordinary beggars with no special abilities to function properly..
In the end, lower-ranking groups either left to find their own way or became independent, led by middle-level executives with martial arts skills or knowledge, and the name of openness had long since become obsolete..
‘Well, the details are fine. If it's not here, you can go back and beat them up some more... and take a good look at them..’
He raced so quickly and arrived at a mountain on the road leading to Jeongju, his eyes shining..
It has finally arrived.
Where there is a squire who pretends to be himself and rips him to death..
And when he climbed the mountain and reached a certain point,.
Fortunately for the members of the intelligence organization, they no longer have to fear Gwangma's return visit..
“ok? What are you?”
At the entrance to the mountain lodge he had just arrived at.
Because there was a solitary, carefree being that did not blend in with the surrounding landscape, which had already been torn apart as if it had been torn apart..
‘···It's him..’
I could tell at a glance.
The author is the person who personally brought him to this point..
“hmm? Looking at you, are you a bandit too? Hey, it's green as expected! The level of bandits these days is very high? This thing is no match for these enemies! Kahahahaha!”
Even though he was faced with an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared, he didn't seem particularly surprised and moved around like a well-fed predator, so I didn't feel the slightest sense of tension..
No, it wasn't just the attitude that was foreign..
‘Is this guy from outside??’
To Mo In-gwang, who was born and raised only in the central plains, he unconsciously frowned at the appearance of an outfit that looked so unfamiliar and even bizarre, like that of a primitive tribesman from a remote area..
But even for a moment, he thought back to the purpose of coming here and slowly walked forward..
“Okay, that's not important now..”
“That's right, I'm here to take revenge on my subordinates.?”
“The trash here is probably good. I came all this way because I had something to do with you..”
“huh?”
Mokin-gwang, who was offended by the sight of him tilting his head blankly as if he knew nothing, slowly gained momentum and muttered lowly..
“Gwangma.”
“Uh, why are you calling me?···.”
“That's my nickname.”
“···oh?”
“I used someone else's as I wanted, now I have to pay the price.?”
“······.”
silence.
After that brief question and answer, there was a moment of silence in the room..
“therefore—.”
But that was only for a moment. Mokin-gwang, who had paused for a moment, spoke again as if growling..
“Let's see if you're worthy of it..”
“Phew!”
At his last words, Harley's mouth, who had shown a calm demeanor the entire time he was here, was torn apart below both ears..
And then, little by little, teeth as sharp as sawtooths appeared through the cracks of the mouth, which could not be considered human at all..
“Ahhh-! understood. Hehehehe— I was rude? Yes, I am a guest who came all the way here. Hahaha.”
I can't hold back the laughter that escapes me.
At the same time, the atmosphere surrounding him began to change drastically..
“I was planning on visiting you at some point, but I never thought you would come visit me in person like this. Thanks to you, it saved me a lot of trouble..”
A light haze rose from his body..
coo coo coo coo coo coo coo—
As the atmosphere trembled, the surrounding air slowly boiled..
Although his appearance was clearly the same as before, the unidentified energy that had begun to spread around him made him appear to be a completely different being than before..
From a well-fed beast that was lying down enjoying the feeling of fullness right after the hunt,.
An inexplicable monster that shows interest in a new toy just around the corner..
creepy—
The person who felt the change most clearly was, of course, Mokin-gwang, who was facing him right in front..
As the violence hidden inside Harley began to unfold in earnest, a sense of crisis naturally rose to the top, and as a result, her senses became sharper and sharper..
‘her.’
At that point, I began to feel it so clearly that I couldn't just ignore it..
The deep, heavy, and truly endless madness that the other person carries within their body..
‘This is ridiculous. A person harbors something like that? No, before that I can maintain my sanity enough to have a normal conversation.?’
Is that really possible??
It was so absurd that I almost burst out laughing..
In the meantime, my instincts kept shouting.
It's really dangerous this time.
If you rush now, the only thing that awaits you is death.
If you run away now, you will have the best chance of survival..
but—.
“Huh···.”
He paid no attention to such instinctive alarms..
Just look at the other person and raise the corners of your mouth as high as possible..
I had no intention of backing down now..
‘Since when did I start questioning things like that?.’
Somehow, a hearty laugh continued to leak out..
It's always been like that.
No matter what threat he faced, he never backed down, and attacked without hesitation with the determination to overcome it somehow..
‘And I survived until now.’
Again, this is just one of many threats..
He will prove himself and overcome difficulties like he always has..
And if you really fail,···.
Well, doesn’t that mean it ends there in the end??
Ssyuk—
At one point, when the tension was gradually increasing,.
Immediately after the two people disappeared from the spot at the same time..
Kwaaaaang—!
A huge afterstorm struck in an instant, and parts of the mountainous plants and roots of several trees, which had already been reduced to rubble, were caught in the aftermath and scattered in all directions..
In the center of the explosion, Harley, with his fist outstretched, and Mokin-gwang, whose entire hand was covered with energy, looked into each other's eyes..
Harley smiled and blurted out in passing..
“Hey, I like your nickname, I should write some.?”
“Hehehe, you're saying bullshit with such sincerity. There is no such thing as a thief. Are the bandits lying around here your men??”
“Kahaha! Unfortunately, these guys are below the standard! I'm willing to accept you, so how about coming under me??”
“Let's talk after paying the overdue price first.!”
Wow—!
The energies of both sides collided again, loud drinking broke out, and the air became heated..
And as the battle began in earnest, the mood of Mokin-gwang, who had been looking a little bored for a star named Gwangmar, slowly began to change..
‘Hoo? That is?’
Harley's eyes sparkled at the flow of energy occurring in his body and the strange changes that occurred as a result..
The corners of the mouth are wriggling and raised, and the four hundred eyes are fully raised..
The blood vessels all over his body bristled to the point of hideousness, and the tangible strength in his hands, bent like a rake, assisted in the method of fighting and maximized its power..
It took on a bloody shape, like Harley's hand using physical transformation, and it tore through the air without hesitation, shaking the space in all directions..
Kwaaang—!
To put it bluntly, the martial arts used by Gwangma could be defined as bizarre..
Being fast and strong is basic, but it was quite irregular and sensuous..
The Harley was stronger, faster, sturdier, and had more feel..
The opponent's attack was disturbing my senses to a strange degree, creating gaps where there were none, and continuing to dig into them..
‘Right. Is this a change or illusion? It's almost like the first time I've encountered someone who uses it this well.···.’
And at that point, he was able to get a sense of what was causing it..
Heoheosilsil.
On the surface, it looks like he values strength and pleasure, and his actual attacks are also based on him, but it's all a trap to deceive Harley, who has strengths in those areas..
Silly takes advantage of the insidious attack caught in between..
Contrary to its aggressive appearance, it was a very cunning tactic..
‘Of course, it is of no use unless you can make a valid hit..’
There was no need to even embody the scales of a dragon, and in its current state, his body was already no different from a diamond ingot..
No matter how hard you beat him with the current method, you won't be able to do any real damage to him..
In that case, there is no need to rush, just rob him of all his resources and then suppress him for sure.···.
nettle—
Then suddenly.
Mo In-gwang's sword shot as if piercing the air was blocked by Harley's palm, and immediately the other hand clawed at his arm..
Unlike before, a strangely colored red stream formed..
Kakaakkakkakkakkakkakkakkak—!
A screeching sound resounds as if metal is being gnawed..
Unlike before, the corners of Harley's eyes twitched slightly as she was allowed to use her arms..
A few long fingernail marks remained on one of his extremely hard arms..
The wound was soon healed thanks to his resilience, but it was inevitable that the speed of healing was much slower than usual due to the power of regenerative deterioration contained in the energy..
This is proof that the power of the opponent's attack far exceeds what was initially assumed, and it also means that the efficiency compared to the energy is ridiculously excellent..
‘This guy is quite useful. It's a waste after all···.’
Harley, with her eyes shining with a more serious attitude than before, looked at her opponent who was attacking her one after another..
A powerful force in the shape of a blade-like claw that flies towards you while you are momentarily distracted..
Two Gwangmas with different thoughts clashed head-on over one title..
