The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 312
EP.313 Part 2, Chapter 13 - Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Scouting (4)
* * *
Embarrassment and futility passed by, but there was no time to dwell on them..
Just by looking at it, an altar and hundreds of demons appeared before my eyes, which seemed to be the culprit of all these phenomena..
I dare to guess that if this place had drifted a little longer without noticing the change, it would have been hit by an unexpected barrage of attacks..
Of course, it would not have been life-threatening, but it would have been enough to interfere with the war..
The four men went straight into battle..
The person who appears to be the leader of the demons said.
“Hit it ah!!!”
Each and every one is a climax, or a transcendent climax.
The passing list was extremely tight, and the spirit of risking one's life was definitely worthy of recognition even though they were enemies, but that was the end of the story..
Suddenly―
Three transcendents and one master of the formation.
It was strange that the match was established..
Degurrrrr―
The time it took for the leader's head to fall off was less than a fraction of the time..
The goat that had just finished holding its dagger said:.
“Take a look around. There may be some remaining enemies or survivors..”
The aftereffects of my consciousness had not yet subsided, and I was feeling confused..
Since judgment based on energy cannot be trusted, examining the surroundings with eyes is a priority..
it was indeed right.
“Salseong! Found it!”
It was Mokriwon..
Mok-ri-won, who had been looking for survivors for a long time by looking around the shabby altar and under the altar, found Maeng's warrior, Hana, who had passed out and was half-buried in the dirt..
His behavior was truly miserable..
“This….”
“Yeah, I guess that's how the demon was made..”
The goat-ox frowned..
One of the unmanned arms buried in the dirt was melting into black dirt..
If I had waited any longer, I would have ended up in exactly the same situation as the demons I had dealt with so far..
There weren't many ways to deal with it right away..
Suddenly―
The goat cut off the man completely below the shoulder..
We managed to prevent the infection from getting worse..
After the treatment was completed by taking a blood test and tying the cut end tightly, the goat said to Zhuge Mountain:.
“Can you look at the altar??”
“yes.”
“Okay, please. In the meantime, you two can rest. I don't know how much longer the night will be.”
For now, I can take a breather.

The basis of jin and magic is the harmony and coexistence of yin and yang and the five elements..
This is the first thing you are taught when learning about the method of playing..
The same was true of Zhuge Mountain..
Therefore, this altar had a truly eerie aspect..
‘The rules and principles are different.’
A little more distorted… So, it is a consciousness that is activated through a mechanism close to supernatural power..
This is especially true in that it sucks out life force..
How should I do this?.
How to defend and how to respond.
Thoughts came and went, but nothing came to mind clearly..
Just one thing to guess.
‘This won't be the end of the altar.’
It is a battle spread out over a wide area of 100,000 mountains..
Perhaps, it was correct to think that this ritual was not performed only in one place, but that the same ritual was held in various places within a certain range and that the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains was defended with an altar like this..
‘If you had entered blindly, you would have been in trouble..’
It’s a future that gets a little dizzying just imagining it..
Zhuge Shan took a long breath..
‘The solution that has been revealed immediately is to destroy it from the front..’
Zhuge Shan's eyes turned to Nangong Jincheon, who was yawning..
It seems really strange that his ignorance helped the operation so much..
Well, that's it.
‘We must play more of a role as scouts..’
How many more places may the rituals be taking place?.
And the only way to break that consciousness is to disfigure the space itself..
In other words, the transcendent warrior must destroy the altar and attract the attention of the entire Demonic Cult..
Only then will the main unit be able to come up here easily..
‘The current composition of scouts is good..’
Confidence to use one's head, two brute force, one command.
If things continue like this, it won't take very long to clear the path to the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church..
It was a moment to make a decision and open my mouth..
“Mmm….”
The unconscious man regained consciousness..
*
The warrior who opened his eyes seemed to be out of his mind..
He fluttered his eyelids and tried to focus his eyes for a moment, then trembled like an aspen, and then screamed, “Aaaaaaaaa!” and only then did he calm down when Namgung Jincheon hit his solar plexus..
“English!”
“Me, Namgoong hyung…!”
“Pain is forgotten through pain.”
“Huh! Heo Eok!”
“Look, you're fine now..”
…Whatever the methodology, the unmanned vehicle is finally capable of conversation..
He belatedly realized who the four people were and breathed a sigh of relief..
“Dae, Daehyeop…!”
“Are you awake? Oh, sorry about your shoulder. I cut it because it looked weird..”
“no need to say thank you.”
“…Can you hear what happened here??”
That's how I was able to hear the cause and effect of the incident..
“…The first time I noticed something strange was when I had just entered Hundred Thousand Mountains and had crossed five valleys. It felt like the flow of time had stopped. Yes, I realized I had fallen into a trap..”
“so?”
“I asked Jin Beop, who was a member of the group, to do it for me, but he said it was not Jin Beop. Suddenly, fear filled me. This is because I thought that I might not be able to survive if I fell victim to the devil's evil techniques. It was then.”
The warrior seemed to be horrified, but spoke with a pale face as he groped his neck with his free arm..
“…A demon appeared. I remember they hurt us, but they didn't take our lives. We were all brought here to the altar and buried on the floor.….”
The unmanned person’s head was lowered..
Mok Riwon knew what happened after that..
Anyway, it was obvious as I saw it with my own eyes..
“…I guess the team members turned into demons..”
The warrior nodded his head..
Mo Liwon looked at the goat and cow..
The goat ox stroked his chin with a serious expression and was about to make a decision..
It was then that Zhuge Shan stepped forward..
“Salseong, we must destroy all remaining altars here..”
“…Yeah, I thought the same thing..”
“I'll send this person back home to deliver the news. While we destroy the altar, the main army's preparations for the advance should be completed..”
I can't delay any more time..
After making this much noise, the enemy's defenses would become even stronger..
If there are a few more ceremonies like this, the more time is delayed, the more disadvantaged the Jungwon Murim Alliance will be..
It is natural to prevent mishaps.
“…Okay, wait a moment..”
Goatso took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, wrote some words on it, and handed it to the warrior..
“Tell this to the leader. He will finish the preparations on his own..”
“Yeah, yep…!”
“We will go further inside. Let help arrive before it's too late..”
The warrior gritted his teeth..
What was filling up in his eyes was anger..
After all, losing a comrade and an arm in an instant must have heightened the desire for revenge against the Demonic Cult..
He bowed deeply, expressed his gratitude one last time, and left..
It was after that.
“Now let’s move slowly too.”
It was clear where to go.
If you run here, there will be a moment when you will feel the same sense of déjà vu as before..
If so, there must be an altar nearby, and if you destroy it, this eerie space will gradually shrink..
So it was time to take another step..
Rustle!
The bushes shook..
The four startled eyes turned to the source of the noise..
The sword is naturally drawn.
The moment the human image appeared, Namgung Jincheon swung his sword..
However, there was someone who blocked it..
bang!
“neck aww?!”
Zhuge Shan looked at Mo Liyuan and the two men behind him with a bewildered face..
One was a skinny human looking like he was about to die, and the other was a sturdy-looking warrior with a sturdy build..
“how….”
A person you can't tell just by looking at him.
If there were such distinctive people in the group, there was no way Zhuge Shan could not have remembered them, so my doubts deepened..
It was at that moment that Mok Ri-won opened his mouth..
“…not the enemy.”
Namgung Jincheon’s body stiffened..
It looks like he felt quite embarrassed about swinging his sword so randomly..
“…to tell you in advance.”
sreung.
he sheathed his sword.
Zhuge Shan's gaze turned to the two men again..
“I'm sorry for appearing so suddenly. You must have been surprised..”
Even though his life was almost in danger, he didn't seem to care at all..
As the leisurely feeling seemed quite foreign, the thin man bowed his head briefly..
“It is called Baekryeongyoju Danjiseon..”
An identity that makes you momentarily doubt your ears even after hearing it..
One thing is certain, Baekryeon Bridge is not that close to Jungwon..
“Is it also an enemy?.”
sreung―
Namgung Jincheon drew his sword..
Mo Liwon quickly opened his mouth to stop him..
“Brother Namgung, this is the person who told me that the Demonic Cult had taken away the art of apostasy..”
sreung―
Namgung Jincheon led the way..
