Chapter 475

Seongcheon Yoonga (1)

It was not at all easy to become a practitioner who was not satisfied with the chakra that one had naturally acquired while working for a living and to seek to rise to the level in earnest..

Chakra is an ability that anyone can enter, but that does not mean that everyone can reach a high level..

This was especially true of the power of lightning, which is one of the most destructive forces in the natural world..

In Yunga, it was common to see people who went out with lightning rods on days when there was a thunderstorm and were intentionally struck by lightning..

Lucette, who was born with natural talent, adapted relatively quickly from the beginning, but those qualities and the pain she must have felt from a young age were two separate issues..

To an ordinary person, this would be equivalent to electric torture, and it must have been repeated every day without fail..

What would have been reprehensible as child abuse on Earth was only natural here in Sabacheon..

It was a time when I was suffering from such harsh training..

There was someone who comforted her as she was slowly being weighed down by the heavy expectations of those around her regarding her natural talent..

It was a tiny baby who couldn't even stand on his own..

[The situation looks very serious, doesn't it? The little master asked me so hard to come... If this hadn't come, I would have been in big trouble..]

A small, warm hand came to me waddling as if I was about to fall and patted my tired cheek..

There were many orphanages and even more children living in Yunga, but the baby who came to her at that time felt different from the other children..

‘Maybe it was a sense of kinship..’

Now that I think about it, it may have been some kind of connection that developed thanks to our innate aptitude for lightning..

Afterwards, looking at the achievements of that child... Yoon So-hoe, it would be reasonable to view it that way..

Anyway, the important thing is that she received a lot of comfort from that child at the time, and thanks to that, she was able to rise to her current position..

[hey? Mr. Lucette? are you listening?]

[···Yes, I'm listening.]

[ah! thank god. I wondered if communication was not possible properly due to the barrier. By the way, you are very used to sending thoughts.?]

[I've had similar experiences a few times. No, rather, how did this happen? Why did Mr. Hoon···.]

I waited for help to arrive.

The reason she had been holding out for as long as she could until now was because she expected that if regular reports stopped, help would be dispatched soon..

But I didn't expect that it would be Hoon, who had just recently joined Yoon's family..

[There were several circumstances. It's complicated to explain everything now, but.]

[···Is that so? It seems that less time has passed outside than I thought..]

[You're quick-witted. I think the time difference with the space where Mr. Lucette is is roughly eight times..]

[eight times···.]

It was just as expected.

However, Lucette, who was exchanging thoughts with Hoon, suddenly felt a small sense of discomfort..

‘Even so, we are connecting communication across the barrier.···.’

Actually, that alone was great enough..

Isn’t this a trap so perfectly prepared that even she, a practitioner of the depths, is trapped without being able to find a loophole??

‘However, he also has a track record of overpowering many high-level talents. There might be something special.’

I was able to understand that part even if I had to force it..

The next thing she felt uncomfortable was.

‘How is it possible to communicate so smoothly when there is such a time difference??’

Even if the communication is not done through voice, it is normal for it to be noticeable to some extent..

Communication with him was so natural that I wasn't even aware of it until just a moment ago..

As if it were something that was already familiar to the body..

“···what? Who are you talking to now??”

But that thought didn't last long..

A high, thin, androgynous voice penetrates her ears..

General Buryeong, who was standing face to face with Lucette and concentrating on her every move, frowned and flashed his green eyes with concentric circles engraved on them..

It was a quick and secret communication, but it could not completely deceive the attention of such a powerful person..

“Wow, it looks like a rat has sneaked in..”

Eventually, he grasped the entire situation and raised the corners of his mouth..

Although he might have been embarrassed by the thought that he had already caught up with his plan, he didn't care at all..

Because we have already prepared everything to deal with this situation..

“A customer came all the way here, so it wouldn't be the owner's duty to just leave it standing outside. Now—come here. Zhao Yanhuan!”

Commands followed by complex hand signs.

At the same time, the chakra that makes up the barrier resonated, creating a strong suction force in the area beyond the material world..

[Uh, huh···?]

Hoon was taken aback and tried to respond, but it was already too late to do anything..

dump—

the sound of something falling to the ground.

Lucette and General Vice-Ryeong's gaze turned towards that direction..

“···Wow, it works like this.”

There, Hoon, who had been forcefully sucked into the barrier, was sitting on the floor, looking around with a bewildered expression..

I used the power of communication to break through the barrier and contact Lucette inside, but before I could do anything to connect, I was pulled into the barrier..

Like an angler falling into the water due to the force of pulling the fishing line..

“Squeak, are you a scout for the Yun family? I can't believe I've already come here after smelling it. He seems to be quite a capable hunting dog.···.”

General Buryeong, who was laughing in a thin voice, glanced at Hun..

This space is only your territory.

Once he was inside, there was no way to resist him unless he was as strong as Lucette..

The concentric circles engraved in his eyes rotated, revealing each and every detail of the other person's inner self..

“Hmm? Now you're only at the lower level? That's surprising. The body seems to have been trained quite well..”

There was no way I could have come this far at that level..

He frowned at the discrepancy, but his eyes widened as if he realized something..

“I see. Are you from another world? Then you can fully understand.”

Beings who are not limited to chakra but use a variety of abilities that are in some ways more active than practitioners..

There were tens of thousands of people from other worlds sponsored by the Yun family, so it was no surprise that that man was one of them..

“You're out of luck. It seems like he has a talent of his own, so normally I would have tried to cajole him somehow and use it.···.”

To let it go like that, the other person had seen something they shouldn't have seen..

I didn't know that it wouldn't be a big deal since the planning had already started, but I didn't want to add one more variable that I didn't have to worry about just because of that one person..

“Blame yourself for getting involved in something pointless..”

“Mr. Hoon!”

General Buryeong snapped his fingers..

At the same time, Lucette, whose entire body was covered in lightning, moved like a beam of light and blocked Hun's path..

As has been the case so far, her blitz didn't change anything..

Phuwak—

The force that passed by as if completely ignoring her tore Hoon's body to pieces..

A body that is broken to the point where its original shape is unrecognizable..

Lucette, with a dumbfounded expression on her face, let out anger as the human body broke into dozens, hundreds, thousands of pieces and disappeared like smoke..

“Phew, Deputy General! you···!”

“···her? What is that??”

However, her anger had to stop for a moment when the other person looked embarrassed..

He twitched the corner of his mouth with a stiff expression on his face..

“You tricked me? In this noble realm?”

It didn't take long for her to figure out why he reacted that way..

“Wow, I'm surprised. It was such a vicious attack..”

A familiar voice is heard again.

She quickly turned her head in that direction and blinked blankly at the sight of Hoon standing on the tree..

“Hunryu Ninbeopjutsu, Oui, the art of self-immolation.”

The sight of him spouting bullshit with a serious expression while roughly crossing his fingers in a hand sign looked so normal..

“···What kind of trick did you pull??”

However, General Buryeong could not just smile and move on despite the other person's appearance..

This place is its own territory..

But how can you completely deceive and play with your own senses?!

It was something that could never be ignored..

“No, it's done. Anyway, whether it's a unique skill or something, it's probably an ability unique to people from another world..”

However, he soon regained his composure and glared at Hoon with sharp eyes..

It didn't matter what I did.

Even if you do that, it won’t work the second time..

‘Yeah, I just let my guard down..’

Maintaining the clan while also keeping Lucette in check was a significant psychological burden for him..

On the outside, he seemed to completely ignore and overwhelm her attack, but in reality, the effort he put in behind the scenes was not ordinary..

In such a situation, there's no way I could fully focus on something like a small child that I thought was no big deal.?

“This time, I will rule it out for sure..”

But now things have changed.

He decided to get rid of that unidentifiable loach first, even if it meant bearing a little more burden..

Ugh—

Ripples arose from the concentric circles in General Buryeong's eyes..

As the monk's vision, 'Concentric Eyes', was activated to its extreme, the barrier that maintained the spirit began to twist here and there..

The power exerted by deep-seated practitioners by borrowing the power of the barrier..

A deafening sound echoed from all directions, and an unidentifiable wave rose like a tsunami..

“···Is there anything I can do about this?.”

A force that crushed the space itself rushed in..

If you get caught up in that, you'll be reduced to dust with no time to do anything..

It might be true that Lucette had the ability to take care of herself, but Hoon, who was still lacking in skill, needed to use a more special method in order to survive..

“Hunryu Ninbeopjutsu’s final five principles.”

He signed again..

In fact, this act itself did not have much meaning..

I just felt like I wanted to do that for some reason..

‘It's time for Hoon to have his own personality..’

He was somehow in a cheerful mood and burst into laughter..

And as he faced the storm that came at once as if shaking the entire forest, he spoke softly..

“A runaway of thoughts.”

Although the name was grandiose, it was actually not that different from the previous “Mental Sensation”..

However, the special move used for the first time after opening the chakra of communication is—.

“Sigh!”

—It has a different level of power than before..

It directly penetrated the enemy's mind..

“Nope! gagging!”

General Buryeong, who had been staggering in place, bowed and groaned with a bloodshot face..

The storm, which had been rushing in from all directions with ferocious force, was already dispersing..

No, it didn't just stop there..

Crackling—sizzling—

The sound of something being torn sharply rang out..

The barrier that began to slowly collapse due to the shaking of the center that makes up the forest..

“Ah, ah. no. This is ridiculous. Ugh.”

General Bu-ryeong, whose face was pale, spat out unfinished words and grabbed his face..

Bright red blood was already flowing from his lacquered hole..

The concentric circles of the pupils, which were maintained at regular intervals, became blurred and distorted, as if they were about to break, drawing an irregular trajectory..

“Huh, Mr. Hoon? This is···.”

A runaway of thoughts.

The situation turned upside down with just one word..

Lucette, who had been very angry at him, cautiously spoke to Hoon with a bewildered expression..

She had already seen the results of that ability during the kidnapping of Yoon So-hoe, but now this was on a different level from what she had seen back then..

‘This is ridiculous. The deputy general?’

There was only one level difference between the practitioners of the upper layer and the practitioners of the deep layer, but their levels could not even be compared..

Deep depth is the state where the inner image can be considered to have been ‘completed’ in its own way..

Naturally, it is not easily influenced by external stimuli, and a strong spirit does not break down even when faced with extreme situations..

“Ah. Ahhh! I am. no. iced coffee—!”

Of course, such an appearance was bound to be unfamiliar to her..

No matter how you look at it, doesn't it seem like his mind has completely collapsed?!

The ability to turn deep practitioners into ruin with just a few words.?

‘Would that be possible if I opened the heavens??’

maybe it is possible.

If you are a practitioner who has reached heaven through the path of magic,.

She swallowed dry saliva without realizing it..

‘As expected, it's amazing. Actually, if you have this, you might not need any other abilities.?’

Hoon looked around at Gwirim, who was rapidly falling apart, and nodded in satisfaction..

I was worried that the output might not be enough, so I added a little "limit breaking" to the chakra, and the effect was excellent..

If the previous “psychosensitivity” was at the level of injecting poison using a needle, the attack just now was no different from suddenly driving a sharp iron pipe into someone..

‘Still, considering its versatility, it would be a good idea to bring other means as well. Because this is so extreme.’

Lee Hoon's special move was an ability that had no middle ground..

Either it doesn't work at all or it completely destroys your spirit..

Considering various situations, it seemed necessary to continue training the “root of ideals”..

“···Well, isn’t good something good? Anyway, I'm glad you're safe. I was very worried about Sohoe..”

“yes? Ah, yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Hoon. After that child, I also received help. I haven't yet been able to repay all the favors I have received before.···.”

Immediately after the gloomy forest scene has completely collapsed..

Before they knew it, they were standing side by side in the middle of a red forest..

“Ugh... Vice, Vice General...!”

“First, fix the chakra that flows back.!”

“This is ridiculous! How could this happen?···!”

Now, with the general writhing on the floor like a male insect, and with many of the attendants who had been assisting Gwirim,.

crunchy—!

Lucette stepped forward with sparks flying from her entire body..

“···I'll catch them.”

There was a sense of shame about being in a dangerous moment, and it was also an attempt to secure witnesses for interrogation..

No matter how you look at it, their leader, General Buryeong, was in no condition to testify..

And it was only natural.

No matter how exhausted she was, there was no one here who could stop her as a deep practitioner..

‘Fortunately, everything ended well. Lucette is also safe..’

Actually, it wasn't a situation where I was happy that it ended well..

This incident revealed that the high-ranking officials of Hongsan State, one of the two great powers, were trying to do something to the Yun family..

I don't know how many people within Hongsan-guk sympathized with this, but it was clear that the future would not be so smooth..

‘Of course, it has nothing to do with me as an outsider..’

Such a complex situation was a problem that had to be resolved at Seongcheon Yunga..

All you had to do was take care of what you needed and only seek to improve yourself..

···I thought so.

Until I realized that the flames of war that would engulf the entire continent had already reached my chin..
