Chapter 371

< rehearsal (4) >

Of course, the scenario for the rescue of the dragon children through Hugo's activities had already been planned to some extent..

In order to create a more realistic production, we did not directly touch every detail, but part of this is to adjust in advance the power of the demonic cults that will be encountered during the process..

However, when he suddenly received a gift from the Dragon God, his strength exploded.···.

‘Things will be easier than you think?’

The result was what it is now..

“Hwagyeong! It's a flower scene!”

“Don't rush in! Prioritize holding on as long as possible!”

While the demon cultists blocking the basement passage continued to scream and shout, Hugo rushed at them alone and quickly swung the sword he was holding..

I was worried for a moment about whether I would be able to adapt quickly because of the sudden increase in level, but after using the martial arts myself, I was able to clearly feel that it was all for nothing..

‘···This is amazing?’

The sword in his hand moved freely as if it were a part of his body..

The moment one's will was established, the sword had already reached the target point..

The state of oneness with everything and everything, as if one has become one with the weapon, the unity of the body and the sword.).

It was an ecstatically exhilarating sensation..

“You idiots! Are you not even able to hold on properly?!”

At that time, among the demonic cultists, a large man well over 2 meters tall stepped forward, grinning..

Holding a viciously large mace in each hand,.

‘It's finally here.’

A transcendent demon in charge of protecting this ritual site..

Originally, he was a person who would have been a formidable ordeal for Hugo, who had the advantage of being the main base and the help of his subordinates, and had a lot of luggage attached to him.···.

‘Since the situation has changed, the plan must also change..’

For me now, that level was just a rite of passage..

Wow—

He tightly gripped the sword handle in his hand..

「Thanks to 'Gongryeongjiche', the unlimited internal energy swirled around the sea of ​​​​sages and awakened the body's performance to its limit, and soon the enormous energy was sucked into the sword and began to transform into the essence of destruction..

“Strong...! Quickly spread out your defenses···!”

The opponent was ready to respond in an instant, with his subordinates ready to respond, but Hugo didn't care at all..

Just immerse yourself more deeply into something inside you..

‘「Heavenly Dragon God Technique」.’

It was the new name for the “unknown artist” who blossomed under the touch of the Dragon God..

A compilation of Kang Hwan-gye's martial arts created by intertwining all the martial arts he had learned so far, as well as secret rites he had not previously known..

‘If you block my way, just break it and break it.!’

Press and hold with a quick and strong attack..

Pajik—!

Several tricks were combined, and my brain energy surged in my hands..

It immediately swung around on its sword body and turned into a thunder dragon, instantly increasing in size..

Rumbling—!

A strong dragon made of large lightning bolts surrounds Hugo's body..

It let out a roar like the sound of thunder and shot straight to the front along the tip of the sword pointed forward..

“Stop it···!”

“not···!”

Right after that.

Other sounds, including screams, were swept away by the loud roar..

If it were not for a space with a special formation, it would not be surprising if the passage collapsed..

pajik — pajik—

The only person standing on two feet in the scene where residual sparks continued to fly like residual fire was the supreme expert with his arms crossed covering his face..

“Wow... Lee, Innoom···!”

However, even after overcoming the sacrifices of his subordinates, he was never okay..

Skin blackened by cerebral exhaustion, smoke billowing from the entire body, including the mouth, and hair and beard sticking out as if hit by a bomb..

However, as expected, a demon is a demon, and even though he was quite defeated, the opponent did not give up his resistance..

“Shut up!”

Both eyes turned bright red and bloodshot, and the body that had suffered serious damage began to recover at a speed that was beyond common sense..

Then, as if he had lost his mind, he rushed straight at Hugo with his life-less body swinging two maces..

“die!”

I wonder if magic attacks have a side effect of lowering intelligence, but it wasn't a very wise decision..

‘Well, the technique of losing one's sanity instead of increasing one's physical abilities is common everywhere..’

Hugo slowly raised his sword..

Absorbs and flows away with a gentle change..

The twin maces, which seemed as if they could crush a huge rock, were caught in the incomplete force that had been forcibly pulled up, slipped by the waves surrounding the sword and lost their direction..

The movement of the water dragon flowing through that sword did not stop there..

Wow—

A stream of water flowing proudly and swirling around the tip of a sword that drew a circle..

It soon became a rough tsunami and swept away the posture-disoriented giant..

“Wow!”

tremble!

The giant who missed the mace stepped back hesitantly and grabbed his neck, which the water dragon had bitten off..

The moment the attack failed, he reacted quickly and dodged backwards, but he could only avoid instant death and could not change the future..

Because he had no way to regenerate his neck and more than half of his heart..

The supreme demon stumbles with his eyes wide open and eventually falls down and lies lying down..

It was an unusually vain ending that was set up as a difficult situation..

‘It's a little different from what I expected, but it's not bad..’

Hugo glanced at the messy passageway and nodded slowly..

Well, it felt a bit ambiguous as an ordeal at the level of an extreme expert..

Since ancient times, the higher and more rugged the obstacle that stands in your way, the more impressive it is when you overcome it..

If this side's power increased, it was enough to raise the enemy's level accordingly..

“Let's hurry. Since the escape is already known, there is no benefit in staying here..”

He looked back and quietly spoke to those following him..

They were a short distance away and only came after the battle was over and were walking cautiously, trying to ignore the devastation around them..

“It must be a battlefield outside... Can we join the Murim Alliance in the middle of the battlefield??”

Among them, Zhuge Hyemi, who was relatively calm, opened her mouth in a worried voice..

Thanks to her ability to use divine power, even the sickly dragon children can now move on their own feet, but aren't they only a little lower than ordinary people?.

It was impossible to cross the battlefield where the battle was so fierce..

“I'll try it first... and if it doesn't work, I'll have to find another way..”

Hugo nodded slowly and responded to her words..

Meanwhile, in one part of my mind, I was having a hard time discussing how to effectively modify this scenario, mobilizing egos of various tendencies..

Since he had already received the advance payment, it was his duty to do his best to satisfy the investor's needs..

‘Well, if you receive an investment, you have to pay for it..’

Not only will this allow us to attract additional investment, but won't the reputation of existing customers have a positive influence on new investors when we go to other markets??

I never thought I would be satisfied with this level..

Of course, in order to do that, it is important to finish this stage successfully from now on..

“Thank you, Daehyeop. The only thing we can trust is Daehyeop..”

“···I see. Anyway, since we have nothing more to lose, we have no choice but to do something..”

“Still, the demon cultists want to capture me alive without even a scratch, so wouldn't there be a good chance??”

Hugo bowed his head slightly as he watched the dragon children each say a word as if trying to shake off the tension..

The war going on outside was important, but managing them was equally important..

The ultimate goal of Kang Hwan-gye’s scenario is the reconstruction of Dragon Heart..

They were absolutely necessary in the process..

***

visor— visor—!

“Ouch!”

Kaaaaak—!

Kwaaaaang!

In a battlefield where all kinds of noise are mixed together.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok···.”

Rough breathing continued to come out of the mouth of Unhak, a Taecheong swordsman who participated in the battle as a member of the Murim Alliance..

Due to the harsh environment of the demonic world, even a brief intense fight would quickly cause one to become suffocated..

It's a shame because I was receiving help from Jinbeop and other techniques, otherwise I would have exhausted myself long ago..

“Phew.”

He let out a deep sigh as if taking a deep breath, looked down at the Jiangshi lying on the floor as his sword stopped functioning, and bit his lip again..

‘···Rest in peace, priest..’

The identity of the lecturer was a priest who studied with him..

Just six months ago, we broke up with the promise of a future reunion to avoid the sword of the Demonic Cult..

‘I never thought we'd meet again like this···.’

His monastic order was the Kunlun sect, now extinct..

Because it is closest to Xinjiang, where Magyo is located, the breakwater of the Murim group often suffered the most damage whenever they visited..

Before the imperial palace bloodbath occurred, there was not only respect from other forces for such efforts, but also considerable practical support, but as the world fell into chaos and everyone was busy looking after themselves, that has long become a thing of the past..

It can be seen as a natural progression that the Kunlun faction, which was isolated in a remote area, eventually collapsed..

It was purely by chance that he, a survivor of Kunlun who had wandered around the world, was able to come to this place..

While staying as a guest at a small family with whom he had a small relationship and consulting with his family, he heard the news that an all-out war against the Demonic Cult would soon be launched..

He reached the pinnacle of crossing the line of fire and joined the Beijing expedition without hesitation..

We want to continue Kunlun's will to protect until the end..

To let the world know that Kunlun's descendants still remain..

Above all, this was the best opportunity to get revenge on the Demon Cult..

‘···Demonic cult bastards, what have you done?.’

Tai Qing Sword, who had already given rest to several Jiangxi from Kunlun, including the priest he had just defeated, ground his teeth..

These were absolutely no ordinary jiangshi..

As a Kunlun Taoist who was on the front line against the Demon Cult, he was well aware of the jiangshi they wielded, but there was something incomprehensible about the individuals mobilized for this war..

‘In all respects, it is a reinforced version of the existing Gangsi. Not only does his physical ability but also his resistance to internal energy become stronger, so he won't be able to make even a scratch on anyone below the top level. ···If you go above that,···.’

His eyes turned to one side of the battlefield..

The warriors of Hwagyeong, who were experts above him, the demons, and the jiangshi of the same level as him were constantly clashing violently..

‘long essay···.’

Among the lectures of the Flower Classics, Kunlun's Zhang Wen-in was also included..

Not only that, but I wonder how long they've been collecting the corpses of experts, the number of jiangshi of a similar level is twice that of this one.!

Therefore, the number of Hwa-gyeong-class forces was overwhelmingly inferior to that of the Murim Alliance, but fortunately, the situation of the war itself was not that bad..

That's because the Murim Alliance had Surahyeoljon, an expert in Hyeongyeong from Sapa..

‘At this level, we can win even if the damage is great..’

Taecheonggeom's gaze, which was examining the battlefield, caught the fight going on in all directions..

The Sword Saint faced the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, and the Emperor of Paecheon collided with the Blood Demon Jiangshi..

And Shinseung and General Jeongcheon exchange fierce attacks against Cheonma, and···.

Kwaaaaang—!

“Kahahaha! This is so hot! It's fun too!”

A madman who bursts into laughter even though he was pierced by the Heavenly Demon's magic sword that seemed to split the sky and left a huge hole in his abdomen..

‘···Shin Gwang-ma. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come this far..’

Indeed, the majesty of the Heavenly Horse was greater than what was heard in words..

If it weren't for Shin Gwang-ma, at least three, maybe four, police officers from this area would have had to step in to stop him..

If that had happened, other battlefields would have exploded in an instant in the aftermath and would have been annihilated a long time ago..

This was all thanks to Shin Gwang-ma, who displayed the majesty of an immortal god and spared no effort to serve two people..

‘What we need to do is create an environment where they can defeat the Heavenly Demon. If only we could stabilize the battlefield as much as possible so that more people than now can join in dealing with the Heavenly Demon.···.’

After taking a breath, Taechung Sword firmly grasped his sword again and took a step toward the battlefield..

Since I had enough rest, I planned to burn my body again and help fight against the demonic cult..

‘You can do it. I can do it like this!’

Hope slowly sprouted from the fiery desire for revenge..

A sense of elation arose as the heroes continued to advance toward their goals without collapsing even in the hostile environment of the devil..

And as if it had been a while since I had been tormented by the guilt of abandoning my monastic life and running away, I felt proud of myself for participating in this great journey..

‘This is the power of Moorim. No matter how dark the night is, the dawn will eventually dawn.—.’

With our own hands, we will clear away the dark clouds hanging over the world and achieve a bright future..

like that.

A moment of optimism.

Rumbling—

Something strange began to occur in the dark clouds that were covering the sky..

A purple thunderbolt flashed loudly from a gap in the dark clouds that made an unusual sound..

Even those who were concentrating on the fight in front of them couldn't help but pay attention..

Kwagwagwagwang!

and finally.

from heaven to earth.

With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, purple lightning fell all over the battlefield..

***

‘I guess I can slowly pick up the pace..’

Hans, the being who was controlling the battlefield while hiding behind the curtain, smiled vaguely..

So far, everything has been going as planned without any problems..

This space where a large-scale barrier was spread was already under his control, and he controlled the amount of abyss supplied to the Heavenly Demon through it, helping him to function at an appropriate level..

‘But this isn't enough for a climax..’

Hope shouldn't come this easily.

In order to unite everyone who is divided, it is essential to not give up and fight together to achieve even in the face of uncontrollable despair and trials..

And for that, something a little more overwhelming was needed..

Hans nodded happily as he looked at the gigantic beings rising one by one from the spot where the purple lightning struck..

Wow—!

Wow—!

Monsters the size of houses, showing off their presence with ferocious roars, continued to twist their bodies..

A look of despair began to appear on the faces of the people who had somehow maintained their balance until now..

Giraffe, nine-tailed fox, goblin, etc.···.

It was the moment when the top-level monsters that had been painstakingly created appeared..
