31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 306)
“Shinyo! Please look here!”
“It's here! It's this way!”
“It's Taeyul! It's Taeyul!”
“excuse me! Look at that handsome figure over there.!”
This was the main street of Chapa, one of the small and medium-sized cities of Khan, the great empire of the East..
Shinyo and Taeyul were passing by on horseback. The size of the troops under their leadership was significant..
They did not lead this many people from the beginning. This was all because of the war against ghosts..
Most of the dragons who fought in the war were shaken by the power of the ghost army. Many of those who bravely came forward fell to the merciless blade and deserted the battle in droves..
In fact, local warfare took place in such a wide area that even Shinyo and Taeyul felt it was too much..
“…….”
Taeyul’s words were passing by the citizens..
Dadadat…
Someone blocked his path and shouted.
“Damn you! You are a bastard without blood or tears!”
“pull it out!”
“you… You gave up! Our family in Tochang….”
“…….”
“You should have died there! you! Taeyul!”
“Pull it out! hurry!”
multifaceted…
multifaceted…
Shinyo's horse picked up speed and came right next to Taeyul's horse..
“Don't be upset.”
“It has been done. Isn’t that wrong?.”
“but… Wasn’t he there in Tochang??”
“…….”
“…yachaga.”
It is said that ghosts are born with greater power than humans, but that is an individual characteristic, not a group characteristic..
Humans knew how to cooperate and worshiped that solid power..
The ghosts that appeared from all directions at any time and caused damage initially had the upper hand against Khan, but as the country progressed in earnest, it quickly turned to Khan's advantage..
The turning point of the war was when the rescue operation on Ki Island, where Seol-hong, Chi-woo, Kang Seol, and Jin-ryeo were sacrificed, ended in a half-victory..
At that time, Taeyul was happy to see the rescued citizens, but when Seolhong and his group were nowhere to be seen, he was so saddened by their deaths that he urgently formed a search party despite everyone's dissuasion..
In the end, Taeyul couldn't find them..
However, it played a big role in the war between Khan and the ghosts..
The last sight of them sacrificing their lives to save the people of the empire reminded me of how Khan became a great empire..
It was the sacrifice of many heroes.
We climbed over their corpses and built a stone wall..
By erasing the traces left by the evil dragon, it became an empire..
The deaths of the two Yonghwas, Seolhong and Chiu, made them reverenced. They proved their love for the people of the empire with their deaths, so no one doubted their noble hearts. However, that did not mean that those who had died would come back alive..
It was around the time of Giseom’s rescue operation that Yonghwa began to collaborate on a large scale..
Both Yonghwa and the central army fought with desperate determination to drive out the ghosts from this land, putting aside the achievements of the war..
Operations have become bolder and more rough than before..
In the process, countless deaths and blood were shed..
However, I couldn't stop.
I'm already prepared to die.
desperate resolve.
A person who engraves this becomes a completely different being than before. The result was completely different from before, when ghosts used fear as a weapon to commit evil acts..
Khan's power was revealed everywhere..
A legion of giant soldiers, as well as powerful men from the shadows, appeared one after another to help Khan..
Thanks to this, many talented people gathered under the powerful Yonghwa, such as Taeyul and Shinyo. Rather, it has become stronger than before the war against ghosts..
However, even as they were driving out the ghosts, there was an opponent they did not want to fight with..
It's Yasha.
A person who creates unstable holes through which ghosts can invade the present world and is an absolute powerhouse..
Unfortunately, even strong Yonghwas like Taeyul and Shinyo had no means to deal with him..
Yonghwa and the generals of the central army who came forward with great enthusiasm were all decapitated by the yaksha..
He also appeared in Tochang's operation..
That's why Taeyul had no choice but to give up..
Because he couldn't pounce on the yaksha like a moth and throw his forces into the fire pit..
When I had a clear plan and defense, I had to step forward..
“you! You killed it! Shameless bastard... Don't pretend to be fair!”
“Quickly take him! cover your mouth!”
“…….”
Because of that, there were many people who criticized Taeyul's cowardice. It's an inevitable step.
Taeyul was bound to be exposed to criticism no matter what choice he made, whether to criticize his cowardice for giving up the fight against the yaksha or his foolishness for losing all his troops..
it was fate.
Because Yonghwa are beings that have to be covered in both pollen and human waste..
“No matter what reasons you give, they are all just excuses..”
“…How about having some peace of mind? Now, I am more worried that my brother will fall than the battle of the dragons..”
“…I may have already broken down when I lost Seolhong..”
“…Brother.”
Taeyul looked up at the sky with blurry eyes..
“He was truly a small child. But what was clearly in those eyes were Khan's people..”
“…Do you miss Seolhong?.”
Seolhong lost his life while helping Taeyul with his work..
It was a wound that could not be washed away for Taeyul, who always walked by the law..
Maybe I'll have to carry this yoke for the rest of my life.
“I have no right to miss you.”
“Everyone believes in us. If the Yaksha finds an opportunity, we, together with the Sanggun, will kill his head.….”
Shinyo looks uncertain even as he speaks..
The inaction of a Yaksha cannot be measured..
To be honest, it was doubtful whether he would be able to defeat the yaksha, even if he was a general, right below the general..
Moreover, since I am in charge of important responsibilities, I cannot chase after the yaksha endlessly.….
“and… I'm planning to visit my teacher this time..”
“…Dear Master?”
“yes. I wonder if you can tell me a way to get through this..”
“Right. You could do that.….”
multifaceted…
multifaceted…
Taeyul rode his horse with a stern face and rode through the crowd..
The back looked painful.
* * *
“I guess you're ready?”
When Duo Eok-sini stretched and asked, Chi-woo stood side by side with Seol-hong and answered..
Wow!…
Can Chiu change his appearance? He returned from a wolf to a human..
“of course! Who are you today??”
Cooung…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Four Ghosts and Seven Ghosts.
They, members of the Twelve Ghosts, stood in front of Seolhong and Chiwoo..
Since returning from Mansang, Duo Wuksini has constantly helped Seolhong and Chiu with their training..
This too is the process..
The four ghost spirits went to Chi-woo, and the seven ghost spirits went to Seol-hong..
“Giggling… Unlike the guys before us, we won't be so friendly..”
“Everyone said that.”
Duoksini looked up at the sky for a moment and…
“Echt!”
I sneezed.
Swish swish…
Duo-o-sini said, wiping his nose..
“Well then, let's get started.”
Pot-! pot-!
Contrary to the hectic declaration, the battle progressed quite tensely..
The intention was to divide the wilderness into two so that neither would be disturbed during the battle..
It was Chiu who took the lead..
“Hmm-!”
[Chiwoo uses Whirlwind..]
[Wind proportional to the weapon's attack power is shot forward and then returned..]
[Damage is greatly increased when returning.]
[For each enemy hit, the damage is reduced by a certain percentage..]
[Damage is reduced by up to 70%.]
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Two dragon fists were fired from both of Qiu’s arms. A reaction similar to a storm.
Grumbling-!
Sagyehon, carrying one dragon fist wind, evaded the returning wind by rotating his body sharply..
“Tsk….”
“Suppress the spread, the glow-in-the-dark ears and maggots can't even reach this moderately radiant wind. Well, if you are confident, you can put all space to sleep with your wind..”
“…suppress the spread.”
“It's a good decision.”
Chiu used the martial art of sending energy into the wind. There was no opponent at Yonghwa's level, but everything went wrong when he met Kang Seol..
In a world he did not know, there were a mountain of people to whom his power did not work..
Only then was Chiu able to realize his problem. Since he mainly uses a wide range of attacks, he appears to be weak in person-to-person combat..
Just as the threat that a storm poses to humans is less than that of a single spear..
Hehehe…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
This time, Chiwoo condenses and shoots a fairly strong wind..
“much better movement!”
“Don't fuss!”
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….”
A similar situation was unfolding to Seolhong as well..
Kaaaang-!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The Seven Ghosts fight against Seolhong using a long soft sword..
“Do you feel fear??”
“…….”
“It's strange, I feel you..”
Kaaaaang…
Whirling-!
A soft sword that wraps around a sword..
Tooung!
Seolhong threw away the soft sword and then brought up another sword..
Whioooooooo…
[Seolhong's Sword's Song: Uses Destiny.]
[You can raise the blade in the air and use it for attack and defense..]
[At this time, the blade continuously consumes durability and only exerts 80% of the weapon's attack power..]
“Movement is slow! I'm yawning!”
“Pfft….”
“Compared to the power I have, my heart is weak... Why??”
Duruk…
Seven ghosts sticking out their snake tongues.
“that… Isn't it your strength??”
“Ugh!”
Whirling-!
[Seolhong's Song of Swords: Uses an awl.]
[Blades thrown in the air all rush towards the opponent..]
[If you dodge the blade's attack, it will attack once more..]
[Additional attacks increase attack speed by 50%.]
Papa Papa Pot-!
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….”
When the Seven Demon Spirits shook their bodies, the sword lost sight of him..
whilick-!
Paaaaang-!
However, the Seven Demon Spirits barely manage to avoid the blades that rush in once again..
“Humans are afraid of dying. Why?.”
“what are you talking about?”
“Is it unbearable to be a worthless being, to be unable to control the times? Truly, truly foolish..”
Let's go…
The soft swords twisted and gathered together like a coil.…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Shot by Seolhong.
“Tsk….”
[Seolhong uses Song of the Sword: Iron Wall.]
[The blades take defensive action all at once..]
[Gain defense proportional to weapon attack power, and weapon block probability increases to 90%..]
Crackling-!
The kite sword was blocked while digging into the wall..
“Isn't it funny? You guys have never controlled the times for even a single moment. Just get swept away by that huge current..”
“…You're a little chatty..”
Whoa whoa…
Seolhong’s mood changed completely..
[Seolhong's Song of Swords: Uses buttonholes.]
[The blade joins the specified pair..]
[Targets in between receive damage equal to 400% of weapon attack power..]
“this!”
baba baba bak-!
“Ughhh….”
The Seven Demon Spirits, who barely managed to escape by shaking their bodies, looked at the blade that pierced their right arm, which they were unable to avoid..
“Clumsy. Do you know how hard the skin of a glow-in-the-dark ghost is?….”
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!
An ear-piercing sound.
PUSHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…
When the Seven Ghosts turned their heads, the Four Ghosts were pushed back. There were traces of Chiu's attack..
“That's it, that's it for today.”
Wood clatter…
As Duo Eoksini waved his hand, the surrounding environment, which had been a mess, returned to its original state..
“Hey… You look like a ghost.”
Chiwoo was impressed..
“I am a ghost.”
“Oh right!”
“Tsk tsk… The power that Hyemyeong gave you will not leave you alone even for a moment. The strength rises very quickly..”
“okay?”
“But glow-in-the-dark ghosts and maegu are not easy opponents..”
“Isn’t it okay for you to step forward??”
“It would be foolish for me, a ghost among ghosts, to approach a yaksha who eats ghosts. If you make a mistake and lose your power, a huge disaster will occur. That's why I'm watching you.”
“But why did it end?….”
“I think the conversation is over..”
Sigh…
Duo Wuksini looked at Xiamen's house..
* * *
While the battle under the pretense of training was in full swing outside, Xiamen and Kang Seol were talking..
“How have you been??”
“I traveled across the continent to break down the walls that blocked me..”
“…ah.”
Kang Seol was convinced that unusual changes had occurred in Xiamen. That's because his energy changed significantly and even the message described him as a powerful helper..
“Have you achieved what you wanted??”
“…….”
Xiamen answers with a grin.
Snowfall could sense that it was positive..
The two continued their conversation on various topics..
Meanwhile, I asked the most important question, whether the snowfall could no longer be tolerated..
“So, have you found a way to wake up your heartbreak??”
“I found it, but... This method cannot be used right now. The demon spirit had already come into contact with the yaksha once and she had lost some of her energy to him. That's what makes yaksha so scary..”
“That means... Are you saying it's hard to wake up from grief right now??”
“First of all, the answer obtained from all things is so..”
Snowfall frowned..
‘heartbreak….’
As he hardly woke up, I became increasingly worried..
But just then, Xiamen said something that eased his worries a little..
“But that doesn't mean there's no way..”
“also… If so, what is the method??”
Sigh…
Xiamen held the book forward..
“This….”
“These are some of the books I found everywhere. This is the record of my teacher, Orgo..”
“Go up!”
“There are several experimental works recorded. I actually implemented it….”
Kang Seol tilted his head..
“However, all of them must be discarded... ah….”
“why are you like that?”
“…no.”
The reason Kangseol stopped talking.
That's because there were some works that weren't discarded..
No, to be precise, there were works that could not be discarded..
‘Works whose whereabouts are unknown.’
And among them….
“Here is an item made to deal with demonic forces such as Yasha. The name is Dohyang. I actually saw the power.”
Know.
The power of the hometown.
And that that item will be helpful in this situation. However, Kang Seol could not immediately recall the item..
‘As for Dohyang… You lost track of things.?’
As expected, the most important issue remained..
“…Whereabouts?”
“if….”
Xiamen said awkwardly.
“Do you know the existence of Socheon World??”
“…Socheon World?”
Grumbling-!
The door suddenly opened, and Jinryeo burst in..
“…Jinryeo?”
“So, Socheonsegae-myeon, there?”
“Jinryeo, do you know Socheon??”
When Xiamen asked, Jinryeo blinked and said,.
“that that… The dragon who is the teacher of Shinyo lives….”
“You know it well..”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
All three were just glaring..
Snowfall is lucky.
“Xiamen, I’m asking this just in case… The whereabouts of that item….”
nod.
Xiamen said.
“The direction is in Him now..”
“…….”
“We are heading to Socheon World.”
