Chapter 484
blackout hunting (5)
General Juryeong was one of the most powerful men in the Hongsan Kingdom in terms of military power..
The Iron Lady, who rose to the highest position as a military officer at the age of only her mid-30s and has firmly maintained that position for over twenty years..
The highest value she pursued was only to become stronger..
‘It can't continue like this either. There is no progress without struggle. In order to become stronger than now, an appropriate environment must be supported..’
Thanks to her high status, she has the appearance of a well-maintained middle-aged woman even though she is over 60 years old. However, her life has been filled with desperate struggles from the time she started as a monk with nothing to the present..
‘Inertial peace only limits and dulls human potential. This is proven by the fact that the number of astronomers active during the Hundred Years' War reached double digits..’
Her eventful life story of ascending to the rank of general as a woman was nothing short of a heroic story for the people of Hongsan-guk..
So much so that it reminds me of ‘Emperor the Brain’, which has now become a legend..
···The problem was that her name value wasn't really enough to compare to that..
‘war. That extreme environment is the best stage necessary for humans to raise their potential beyond their limits. Just like Emperor the Terrible did decades ago.’
The Emperor the Terrible, who was active even before the general was born, was the person she admired the most and at the same time a mountain she must overcome..
However, it is a law of nature that the higher the mountain you have to climb, the bigger the shadow behind it..
At this rate, no matter how hard she struggled, she would never be able to escape that shadow..
‘Since ancient times, heroes are born in chaos. The war that's about to break out will definitely lift me to higher heights.’
Emperor the Emperor was a great man who rose to the top of the world in less than fifteen years after entering chakra..
Not only did he kneel down all the astronomical practitioners active at the time, regardless of whether they were Hongsan-guk, Cheonghae-guk or magic practitioners, but he also held a military demonstration in front of the imperial palaces of the two great powers and forced them to sit at the peace agreement table..
Isn't there even a record that she fought and won against several astronomical practitioners alone??
‘But I can't believe I have to waste my time on such useless things because of a stupid guy who can't even handle simple tasks properly. In this busy time···.’
General Zhou Ling, who was inspecting the border area of Hongsan State, sighed deeply..
However, it was a job that had to be concerned about the outside world's attention, so it could not be ignored..
‘General Buryeong, who had touched Seongcheon Yunga due to a 'personal deviation' and was retaliated against, was in a position that was practically her limbs..
“Oh, everyone was here?”
In the meantime, the uninvited guest with a strange look who suddenly appeared couldn't help but feel very unnatural..
“Kahahaha! Maybe it's because there were a lot of people gathered, but I found it easier than I thought.!”
A big man with a whole body full of vicious muscles walked towards me with a wide smile..
With a cheerful laugh that matches his appearance,.
“What is it? You! I dare to know who the people here are.!”
One of the military officers who came forward frowned and scolded him..
The name and color was the general’s procession..
Of course, the level of those who clung to her and fawned over her was by no means unusual..
The atmosphere of the numerous generals and their elite troops was so intimidating that it was difficult to even breathe, but the large strange man who suddenly appeared did not pay any attention to such things..
“hey! How on earth did you control it so that the wild man got this far??”
“sorry. We will get it sorted out as quickly as possible..”
“The military discipline is a mess. How dare you behave like this in the presence of the general. If you go back, everyone will be punished..”
“···There is no shame.”
A general who followed her scolded his subordinates..
However, even in the midst of such a commotion, General Juryeong just made a strange expression as he looked at the uninvited guest..
‘what? What is this ominous thing? I definitely can't feel any chakra of any kind.···.’
Her intuition was speaking as she repeatedly struggled to the brink..
That monster is something that should never be taken lightly..
And it didn't take long for her to realize the true nature of that feeling..
“Phew, uh... how can you move so casually?···!”
“Did you hit the lightning with your fist? What on earth! That monster!”
“Wait a minute, take a step back and prepare your posture...!”
Starting from elements such as fire and ice, to physical powers including swords..
None of the attacks worked on that unidentified man..
No matter what laws blocked his path, he roared fiercely, tearing the world apart with just his body..
“Hahahaha—! This is it! It's been a while since I went on a rampage, so I'm feeling refreshed.!”
10Minutes... no, maybe 5 minutes have passed?
It was the time it took for all the military officers who had been farting around them to leave and roll around on the floor..
The general, who was watching the one-sided violence with a frown, slowly opened his mouth..
“What are you? Are you from another world??”
There was no other way to explain it other than that..
It was not something that just anyone could do, without any chakra, and using only pure physical strength to destroy an elite unit including deep-level practitioners..
Moreover, it was impossible to repel the chakra that had already appeared with one's body without the intervention of another supernatural ability..
“Anyway, coming out like this probably means I have some bad business to do. Even though this looks funny, it must have looked really funny..”
A faint smile appeared on her lips as she bent her neck this way and that..
After rising to the rank of general and making everyone angry, she lost her temper, but violence was her favorite means of communication as she enjoyed fighting..
‘How long has it been since I felt my blood boiling like this?.’
I didn't know that such an enemy would appear before the actual war even began..
Violent chakra bloomed from her entire body..
Astronomy's Struggle and Deep Violence.
If he had not held a government position, he had such a harsh aura that he would have nothing to say even if he were labeled as a magic practitioner..
“Now then, let’s hang out somewhere to the fullest.!”
“Kahaha! I like it because it's cool and refreshing.!”
“···If you're sixty, you're still in your prime! You thunder-naked bastard.!”
Two people fiercely baring their teeth rushed towards each other..
and···.
Kwaaaaang—!
That day, a small mountain on the outskirts of Hongsan Province disappeared entirely..
It was a major incident that occurred not long after the prime minister of Qinghai was kidnapped..
***
“Hut!”
General Juryeong suddenly came to his senses and got up from the leather on the floor..
And then, holding my head, I quickly grasped the situation..
‘···prison?’
A stone wall with iron bars lined up on one side and all kinds of unrecognizable patterns engraved on it..
I could tell just by looking at it.
That it was created to restrict oneself as a practitioner of astronomy..
Frowning, she carefully recalled her previous memories..
It wasn't that complicated.
I fought as hard as I could, but in the end I lost and lost my mind..
‘···lost I, General Juryeong, Chae Mi-hwa, to a man I have never heard of before. What on earth is that guy? ···Could it be that he was instigated by the Qinghai government??’
There weren't many forces with the motivation and ability to do something like this..
Suddenly, the face of her partner appeared in her mind..
I wasn't a person I liked very much, but I thought it was necessary to compromise for a while to achieve the goal I wanted..
“Kursi, that guy can't believe he's going to stab you like this.···.”
“Did you call me? General Juryeong.”
She stopped talking to herself..
Then he suddenly turned his head in the direction from which the voice came and tilted his head with a blank expression..
“···Prime Minister Cursi?”
Looking closely, I saw another haggard-looking old man imprisoned in the prison across from me..
I thought I was alone because I couldn't feel anything, but it seems that the barrier here has dulled my senses..
After staring at each other blankly for a while, she opened her mouth with difficulty..
“···what? why are you here?”
“Well, maybe it's the same reason.?”
“······.”
“······.”
A breathtaking silence continued between the two..
When we faced each other like this, both sides' thoughts inevitably became complicated..
But fortunately, that awkward atmosphere did not last long..
rattle—
With the sound of a heavy iron door opening.
A group of people approached the prison cell where they were held..
I could see the Prime Minister of the State of Cheonghae and the General of the State of Hongsan turning their heads in that direction with their eyes wide open..
A familiar figure walking proudly at the head of them..
The being presumed to be the culprit of this whole situation.
“Was it really you, Black King?···!”
“Huh, my liver is swollen. I lost my mind because I was treated like the king of the shadows and led a group of magic practitioners..”
“Do you think he will stay still if it comes out like this? You too will never be safe.!”
“I don't know how they lured those beings out.···.”
As their angry voices erupted one after another, the middle-aged rat-like man, the Black King, stopped..
And then, looking at them in prison, he raised the corners of his mouth slyly..
Finally, he opened his mouth and was about to say something with his cunning tongue..
“Mr. Kwak, why don’t you hurry up and get in? This helped me walk on my own feet. Let me fly it myself?”
“Haha, sorry about this. I saw some familiar faces after a long time. I'll go right in now..”
His face changed from mean to servile in an instant as he heard a bloody threat coming from behind..
Then, as if avoiding a muscular giant approaching from behind, he moved quickly and fell into one of the open prison cells..
Clap! Click—
And then he closes the door himself and locks it..
At that sight, the two people who had been pouring out harsh criticism towards the Black King quietly silenced their mouths..
“······.”
“······.”
If I say anything here, it will only make me more embarrassed..
Just when the uncomfortable air was starting to fill the air.
“Huhuhu - Okay, I finally got everything together. Well then, shall we get started??”
Unlike the rough man's voice, the sweet voice of a woman softly echoed inside the prison..
In this dark and gloomy prison, which is far from a good view, your selfish appearance shines as if you are illuminated by a filter alone..
“The last remaining dark hunt.”
Representative of magic practitioners, one of the two characters who captured the Black King.
Hela smiled brightly and looked around at the caged bait..
***
Even though Hella alone was sufficient, the fact that Harley was also added to the force was an expression of the will to finish the job quickly..
No matter how great the Demon King's abilities were, the physical limitations that come from having one body were inevitable..
‘I don't know how things will go if those who have sensed it start making different moves for no reason..’
The kidnapping of the Prime Minister of Qinghai Province was not news that could be kept secret in the first place..
The same goes for General Hong San-guk, who even blew up a mountain..
In the end, it was best to tackle them all at once before they became public.···.
The intention has been going smoothly so far..
“Hmm, it's the chakra of delusion.?”
“That's right, once it's revealed. This power is stored in a specific object and distributed to the personnel in charge of the operation, but it is so secret that it is not even noticeable at a deep level. Little by little, without realizing it, you start to fall into the mind..”
Hela made a subtle expression as she watched the Black King eagerly revealing information about ‘him’ in front of her..
His words and actions were unbecoming of an astronomer, and when she first visited him, he instantly sensed the difference in power and chose to surrender unconditionally..
That's why, unlike the others, I was able to come here in perfect condition....
‘Why can't I believe it?.’
Because of his frivolous attitude, it was inevitable that I could not trust him..
Why is someone like that called by the grand name of the Black King?···.
Anyway, the important thing now is that even though the three were separated and cross-checked, nothing unusual came out..
In the first place, I couldn't have told a lie during the interrogation that even used the "Seven Colored Magic Eyes"..
‘At least that means they believe it to be true. ···No matter what it may be like in reality.’
Hela, with her legs crossed, touched her plump lips and was lost in thought..
Almost everything else was the same, but the only problem was that the method of contacting 'him' was different for all three..
Looking at his overly cautious actions, it didn't seem like it would be that easy to snatch him..
‘Chakra of delusion, delusion.’
When she was deep in thought,.
Suddenly~
Harley opened the door and turned around, frowning..
A reaction that comes from an unavoidable instinctive level.
Next, the shocked Hella uncrossed her legs and sat down quietly..
‘I didn't realize this when I moved my body in the first person.···.’
There were many cases where the natural behavior resulting from the avatar's tendencies was not properly recognized by oneself..
Just as people don't pay attention to when they blink or swallow their saliva..
‘But looking at it from a third party's perspective... It's hard.’
Hella's feminine side in the eyes of Harley, the manliest man among manly men, could not help but be unpleasant..
Anyway, what was in that kernel was myself..
It may be an unavoidable problem since he was originally born to bewitch others.···.
‘hmm? for a moment. It's a delusion?’
Harley looked at Hela again..
A female demon queen from a succubus mixed race who is full of unrealistic ideals..
Indeed, existence itself could be said to be a culmination of delusion..
‘Which is stronger, the chakra of delusion he uses or the charm of Hela??’
And what will happen if the two collide??
No, if only I could use it against-.
The two avatars, who had been seriously contemplating for a moment with their arms crossed, nodded at the same time..
‘This is really···.’
I might become the devil who will devour this world entirely..
···Although he is already a real demon king.
