31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 401)
Banghyu's death was handled quite lightly..
News that he died after losing blood due to premature old age and a chronic illness he had been suffering from..
And many people passed on the news without much doubt..
However, there were also those who knew the truth but remained silent..
Everyone was working under the water at the same time, waiting for the Lantern Festival..
And finally, the day dawned.
The day when three humans become dragons.
The Lantern Festival has arrived.
Woooooooo…
Woooooooo…
Magnificent wind instrument sound.
Boom…
Duuuuuung…
Even the loud sound of drums.
Since it was an important event, we didn't want to make the new dragons look bad, so everyone stayed silent and hid behind the sound of the instruments..
A formal event befitting tradition.
However, this was not all about Khan..
giiiiing…
Cheolkeong…
Giiiiiiing…
Cheolkeong…
“That, that….”
“Looks like they're planning to introduce a new style of giant weapon just in time..”
A new giant weapon recently developed.
Togun Unit 4.
Even just one show is impressive, but there were as many as eight Togun Unit 4 units mobilized for the event..
If these eight forces move at the same time, nearby small countries can be destroyed overnight..
“…Your power is amazing.”
“I know….”
Khan was an empire where tradition and civilization coexisted simultaneously..
No one felt out of place even though there was a huge army standing in a long line of palaces..
thud!
thud!
thud!
Troops lined up in rows beneath giant soldiers.
The general who briefly stepped away from the front line for the Lantern Dragon Ceremony and participated in the event was also present..
His size was overwhelming, but the prayers of a man who had spent his entire life fighting battlefields were remarkable..
So many people attended the Lantern Dragon Festival that it filled the vast Dragon Palace. Khan showed overwhelming power and everything was good..
Just one thing.
Rumbling…
Except cloudy weather.
Now, it was the turn of the main character of the event to appear..
Woooooooo…
With the sound of wind instruments, three people walked at the same time..
Those wearing crowns and drapes.
These were the people who would lead the Khan of the new era..
Taeyul, standing in the middle, was slightly ahead of the others on either side, and it was quite nice to see that..
If the people of the empire had seen this, they would have cheered..
However, as it was a solemn occasion for the royal family, no sound could be heard to replace the melody of the wind instruments..
They walked slowly and stopped midway..
In the first place, I wasn't planning on getting any closer and the event proceeded that way..
“Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor enters the palace.!”
Across from the three Dukes, including Seolhong, Hongcheon walked in on his own..
For a while, he only moved while riding on a palanquin..
Somewhere, his health seemed to have improved significantly..
He stood there, blocking the sunlight with a curtain..
Whoop…
“Long live your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
Praise for the Dragon Emperor that started with someone else's chant.
As always, the Yonghwas sing a chorus of cheers praising the reign of the Yong Emperor..
“Long live your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
“Long live your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
However, there were certainly people who did not open their mouths..
They winked at each other and nodded..
They were Yonghwa who knew that the monster wearing the shell of Yongje was hiding behind the veil with a shameless face..
They were all recruited by Seolhong, Taeyul, and Shinyo..
Other than them, everyone else would be trembling at the scale and grandeur of the Lantern Dragon Festival, but they saved their trembling for the moment to come..
Today, many things will change.
whistling…
When the person wearing Hongcheon's shell beckoned, the event continued..
He reads out a boring speech that may have come from someone's head, and then mutters a cool line while pretending to be impressed by it.…
For those who knew the truth, there was no separate puppet show..
Dolls dance on a fancy stage..
“preparation of fire!”
Giiiiiiing…
Cheolkeong…
Giiiiiiing…
Cheolkeong…
8All the giant soldiers raised one arm toward the sky..
A weapon loaded with a huge amount of charge. Giant soldiers were walking batteries..
“for a moment!”
Taeyul raised his hand without worrying about his loose sleeves..
For a moment, there was silence at the festival..
The song all stopped..
I clenched my chin, finding the existence beyond the veil interesting..
“Before the congratulations, I dare to say something..”
hand stirring.
It meant do as you want..
Taeyul shouted on behalf of the Shinryongs..
“Khan, empire of fire and flowers! The history built on the blood of the dragon, its glorious path will continue.!”
something was strange.
Cheolkeong…
Cheolkeong…
The hand of the giant soldier pointed toward the podium..
“Wow!!”
“Wow!!”
The rebels who knew about it in advance hurriedly retreated, leaving only someone wearing the shell of Hongcheon left in their place..
“what!”
“It's treason!”
“What on earth is going on?!”
Taeyul, Seolhong, and Shinyo shouted..
“An individual cannot overcome the united power of a group. Disappear along with Khan’s history, Hwagmu.!”
“percussion!”
Whooooooo…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Heavy drinking that erupts all at once.
The giant soldiers were equipped with weapons made strictly for killing, not as fireworks for the Lantern Festival..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Powerful enough to blow away the entire palace..
“Ughhh….”
“The wind….”
A huge strong wind came.
There were also rare people with blood flowing from their ears..
Why did the Lantern Dragon Festival become like this?.
Yonghwa, who had not heard about the situation, was just confused..
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
A pit where only black dirt is visible, not a foundation stone..
And the liquid boiling inside it.
It was a liquid made by melting rocks, and the temperature was not enough to describe it as hot..
Khan's general, who had set up the story in advance, glanced at the pit and muttered..
“…Goodbye, evil dragon..”
Place names that turn around.
And Yonghwa is shocked to see him..
“general!”
Fishit…
The head of the place name turned.
It was meant to look back, but it ended up spinning around and falling to the ground..
“Yes, it was prepared quite extravagantly. My descendants. Even after hundreds of years, there is still no development..”
Wow…
He appeared without even the slightest scratch..
Hongcheon… No, Hwageumuga.
I only glanced at the boiling lava with anxious eyes, and not even a single hem of my clothes was burned..
Giiiiiiing…
Giiiiiiing…
The entire front of the giant soldier was facing Hwageumu..
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
When Hwageumu stretched out his hand, a huge spear flew out from somewhere..
Items that were a favorite disease during Hongcheon’s activities.
chuck…
“It's been a while.”
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Squeak…
Geek…
As Hongcheon stirred the air, the legs of the giant soldiers fell like straw bales..
Kwaaaaang!
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Hey, Dragon Emperor….”
“Dragon Emperor! What is this….”
Taeyul scolded those who still did not understand the situation..
“The author is not Hongcheon! Woe to you! The evil dragon took on the shell of Hongcheon.!”
At those words, Yonghwa's eyes widened as if they had been struck by lightning..
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk….”
Crying…
Shoot aaaaa…
Lightning struck and it started to rain..
[Hwagumuga uses the power: Intending Sky..]
[Hwageumu adjusts the weather.]
[The current weather is a thunderstorm..]
[The stormy weather strengthens Hwageumu..]
[Hwagmu's melee skill proficiency increases significantly and grants elemental power to melee weapons..]
“It was prepared quite grandly. one… You made one misjudgment. i am not an individual.”
Huh…
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Geochang was whirling around..
“no… not human.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Hwageumu’s skin was covered with scales..
Grinding…
A red-eyed dragon stood tall..
Seolhong, Taeyul, and Yonghwa, who realized the situation, crossed their eyes..
Hwageumu's resurrection was incomplete..
The fact that he was not fully revived also meant that he could still be defeated..
“also… I couldn't get my body back.!”
“Take it down! Don't let Hwageumu stand up again.!”
“Wow!!”
Numerous troops, generals, and dragon stones came together and attacked Hwageumu..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
As Hwageumu steps forward strongly, the ground collapses..
He neutralized most of the attacking troops with one move..
That wasn't all.
“body? ah… That's what it says. good night. I'll show you.”
Wow!…
Red energy swirled from Hwageumu’s hands. It was a very scary feeling..
“Now it is time to take back what I have given you. All these years, you've been waiting for the day when the fruit within you will grow.”
Hwageumu raised his hand high..
“gagging….”
“Ugh….”
At the same time, all Yonghwa grabs his heart..
[Hwageumu uses serum absorption..]
[Harvest the dragon's blood.]
[Once all dragon blood is recovered, you will be resurrected with 40% health..]
flutter…
Taeyul was also the one who got down on one knee..
Hwagmu had no doubts about his true resurrection..
however.
Jjringung…
It was a very small sound that turned the situation around..
Ringing…
It was the sound of a bell.
The sound of the bell distorted everything.
[Use the wilderness command.]
[All evil energies disappear.]
……
In Seolhong’s hand, there was a bell..
[Serum absorption is interrupted.]
Hwageumu glared at Seolhong..
“…dare!”
At that moment, all the Yonghwas who regained their freedom formed a phalanx centered around Seolhong..
“Protect Seolhong!”
“Don't let Hwageumu come near.!”
“It's time! surround him!”
Jjringung…
Jjringung…
The Yonghwas, who regained their freedom just by the sound of the bell, realized in an instant that they had to protect the sound of the bell..
However, this saying, on the other hand, also applied to Hwageumu..
If we just subdue her, the whole situation will end..
The world will once again be held in the hands of the evil dragon..
The spider web woven by humans looked so strong that there seemed to be no room for even a needle to fit through..
However, the opponent was a dragon.
“Uuuum-!”
grip support…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Wow!!”
“Wow!….”
A phalanx that explodes with a single blow.
“Run away! snow red!”
Jjringung…
Seolhong and Hwageumu’s eyes met..
At that moment, Seolhong’s body stiffens..
right then.
pot-!
Someone grabbed Seolhong and ran..
It was Chiwoo..
“Seolhong, don’t stop the bells.”
“huh!”
Jjringung…
Ringing…
“Do you know how to miss?!”
Numerous attempts were made to block Hongcheon's advance..
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Shut it off….”
Kwaruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Ahhhhh!”
They were scorched by lightning and cut by spears, but it was not enough..
Chi-woo gradually despaired that he would not be able to save Seol-hong..
At that moment, I noticed someone looking down from the upper floor of a secluded pavilion..
And Chiu, who crossed eyes with that person, said:.
“Seolhong, please. stay alive.”
“Chiwoo!”
“go! It's up to you! If you stop, the space is over!”
Hwiik-!
Chiwoo threw Seolhong over the fence and turned around..
The path he takes is the path of death..
“No way, Chiwoo.!”
“The wilderness must not be taken away! go! don't stop!”
Sigh…
Chiu, with hair sprouting all over his body, joined the others and rushed towards Hwageumu..
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“…like.”
The first person to block Hwageumu's blow was Chiu..
Fuuuuuk…
“Pfft… Ughhh….”
However, there was no miracle.
Geochang pierced Chiwoo’s stomach once and escaped..
flutter…
Chi-woo collapses with all energy drained from his body..
patter…
Hwageumu shook off the blood from Geochang and tried to chase after Seolhong..
Suddenly…
Chiwoo crawled on the floor and grabbed Hwageumu’s feet..
What a joke-!
He was kicked by Hwageumu's foot and flew away. And even as he was losing his mind, he continued to mutter.
“I have to live... Seolhong… certainly… I have to live… sun….”
* * *
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
Squeak…
Jjringung…
The sound of the wilderness continued to sound, and Hwageumu accelerated to pursue Seolhong..
The distance was gradually narrowing..
Suddenly, the distance between the two narrowed to the distance where Hwageumu could be seen..
Huh…
“Make a drop….”
At that moment, Seolhong felt that his body was floating..
Someone snatched her body from Hwageumu again..
The person who grabbed Seolhong’s body was none other than Jinryeo..
“Damn it!”
she ran screaming.
It was really, really fast..
She was not interested in the Dragon Dragon Festival and was hiding outside the Dragon Palace to sleep, but when she woke up from heavy drinking and saw Seolhong and Chiwoo wandering around and running away, she jumped in..
It was she who exchanged glances with Chi-woo in the pavilion..
“Jinryeo!”
Jjringung…
Ringing!
“All you have to do is run away.?”
Seolhong nodded vigorously..
“…huh!”
I escape from the dragon and devise my next plan. This is possible because the equal number of dragons in the empire are alive..
It was already too late for Hwageumu to withdraw. If I left the wilderness alone, it would cause problems later, and if I wanted to retrieve the other blood first, I ended up having to cough up the serum later..
So, I had to catch Seolhong right here as quickly as possible..
Paaaat-!
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
They cross the palace.
“Kunna! make me faster!”
- It will be hard on your body.
“are you okay!”
jingle…
When I threw the money bag into the air, it disappeared..
Sigh…
Jinryeo's thighs swelled greatly and her flight speeded up..
grip support…
Kwaaaaang-!
A thunderbolt struck the spot where she was..
“Huh... Heo Eok….”
A great burden came to my body..
What came to mind at this time were Chiu’s words..
- Effort is a habit. If you were that lazy, you wouldn't know what to do when the time came to try later. So I'll show you how.
Crash…
Chiwoo must be dead?
would be dead.
There's no need to listen to the dead.
“Ahhhhh!”
- I feel like I'm saving my efforts to do something important later. I'm sure it will!
I have to prove it.
I'll prove it!
Tears overflowed from my eyes. Rain and tears obscured my vision..
Caught up again.
‘…Kunna, let me fly far away.’
Kunna, let me fly far away.
- The price is?
no money.
No, it's impossible with money..
‘Take your arm, your left arm.’
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Jinryeo!”
The distance has widened significantly again..
But it wasn't very far.
Ringing…
Grumbling…
“Huh... Huh... never stop.”
“…….”
“This Jinryeo, for the first time in her life, she is making an effort... Huh... Don't stop... It's expensive.”
Jjringung…
Ringing…
I knew it.
It catches up with you in an instant..
Jinryeo made a decision..
‘…I see. Dragon.’
- You may seem indifferent, but I know you are courageous..
The courageous one, Jinryeo.
- There will be moments when you have to do what you have to do..
Jinryeo ran from roof to roof and shouted in her heart..
‘Kunna, take my life.’
- …….
‘Please keep Seolhong safe..’
- is it a deal?
‘…please.’
- …refuse. I have nothing to give you.
Even the last struggle was rejected.
At that moment, Jinryeo lost her strength and fell through the roof to the floor..
Kwasik…
Kwazizizik…
“Damn… Damn it….”
Someone jumped through the open roof..
It was a mess.
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Jinryeo ran again and left the building..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
The building exploded in an instant..
In the next 2 seconds, you will lose your life.
‘one….’
and.
‘two.’
It was strange.
Somehow, it didn't die..
Jjringung…
Seolhong’s hand was stretched out..
The wilderness decree was an important item..
the dragon told her.
- Be mindful of your timing. It should be in your hand when you need it..
I couldn't have guessed the time more accurately than this. Now, the hand holding that object was unfolding..
- What did you give the girl now??
The person who took the spirit of the wilderness from her was not Hwageumu..
- Hehehe… It's time for the salmon to swim up the river.
Jinryeo muttered..
“Hi-Hi… Kunna, I see… already….”
The reason why Kunna rejected Jinryeo’s request.
It was because Seolhong had already escaped the dragon..
Ringing…
The spirit of wilderness was tied to a water cell and hung on the handle of a sword..
the sword said.
【oh! Tickling, this.】
“Just be patient.”
Seolhong muttered as if he had lost his mind..
“why….”
“If you get caught in the rain, you're in trouble..”
- If you get caught in the rain, you're in trouble..
“how… You're back?”
“To come back….”
3Years passed by, and by the time the image of each other was erased..
“Because I promised.”
Crumbling-!
snowfall is back.
He stood in front of Hwageumu and said.
“You finally woke up.”
“…who are you?”
Kang Seol grinned..
He brought out a legend from the East. It was the sentence that made Hwageumu feel the most fear..
“Dragon… I have come.”
