Chapter 2
The sword bounced off, emitting purple light..
‘Armor? No, that's……’
I narrow my eyes and look at the old man's chest..
If you look closely, you can see that it is surrounded by red scales..
“definitely for the better……?”
“Similar but wrong.
It is not Namryong Assistant, but Yongrin Oegong..”
The cool voice of the Dragon King of the South Sea penetrated my eardrums..
Boom!
As soon as I finished speaking, a kick struck my side..
The legs of the South Sea Dragon King were as thick as logs, so it made a sound like the air was exploding as if a blunt weapon had been swung..
‘This……!’
The sound and momentum are unusual..
I flicked my wrist and turned the sword to cover my upper body to block the kick..
Wow!
Shock coming from the sword body.
The problem was not just the power, but the red-colored strength that formed on the legs..
“Huh!”
Joo Seo-cheon couldn’t help but be impressed..
Namryong Josu, Yongrin Oegong, Suryonggakbeop.
They were Yongjo, Yongrin, and Yongmi respectively..
“The nails, scales, and tail are all parts of the Dragon King.!”
Dragon heart attack).
He was a Shingungjeolhak of the Namhae Yongmun and a world-class martial artist..
As the name suggests, Yongsimcheongong is a martial art that is divided into the mind and body of a dragon..
Namryong Josu, Yongrin Outer Gong, Water Dragon Gakbeop, and Voice Yonghu were all martial arts that belonged to this Dragon Heart Attack..
And the thing that can control all of this is the Dragon King’s Mind Law. It was a martial art allowed only to Namhae Yongmunju..
How the mind governs the body.
Yongwangsimbeop was a mind method that allowed you to practice Yongsim Cheonggong without any problems..
Similar to Jungdo Mangong, but different.
‘That's amazing.’
I couldn't help but stick my tongue out in admiration..
Martial arts are martial arts, but the South Sea Dragon King was also great..
It is by no means easy to train not just one but several ascending martial arts that are not third-rate martial arts..
Most of them would end up at a mediocre level, but each of the South Sea Dragon Kings boasted bloody power, so exclamations flowed..
Still, the difficulty may be relatively low because the herbivorous diet is monotonous, but even taking that into account, it was still great..
“Hyaaap!”
The Dragon King of the South Sea bursts with spirit instead of the dragon’s roar..
I hit the sword body, kicked my leg down, and stepped on the ground..
The impact is not small, perhaps because the weight of a large body is carried by the trick of lifting the weight of the body..
The ground shook violently again..
The Dragon King of the South Sea fixed his body and converted the internal power drawn from the lower part into air power and bent his right finger..
“tahat!”
I let out a roar that makes the Dragon Palace go away..
At the same time, he unfolded the Namryongjosui with his right hand, which held the spear..
The five lines drawn in the empty space flashed red light..
Powok!
A method of training that is not a martial law.
But it made a sound as if I had punched it..
At first glance, it looked like it had been beaten.
Because the sword body was unable to move and the body was empty, the attack was allowed, and the body flew backwards and landed..
Kwaang!
The wall crumbles and shatters as if it were tofu..
There was a crack on the wall and a spider web had formed..
Pieces of stone became fragments and covered the surroundings, and dust spread on the floor..
A piece of crystal decorated nearby was also shattered..
“It is a crime to insult the Dragon Palace.!”
“Like a foolish land person!”
I was a little embarrassed when the fight that should have ended in an instant took longer than expected, but I soon felt relieved..
No matter how strong the land humans are, they are useless in front of the Dragon King of the South Sea..
Yongmundo Island in the South Sea cheered.
However, the cheers lasted only for a moment..
The dust that rose above the ground quickly disappeared and Ju Seocheon appeared..
And it looks fine too.
“What, what!”
“Unbelievable!”
Screams of shock and disbelief erupted here and there..
It must have looked like a mess, but there wasn't even the slightest wound..
The clothes were just a little disheveled..
“It was neat and great..”
The movement connection was smooth and the power was the same..
“Yes this guy……”
The Dragon King of the South Sea was quietly angry..
Namryong Josoo is not a martial artist, but a Josu Gong..
Originally, I should have made a hole in the abdomen, but I realized I blocked it because it felt blunt, like a punch..
But even the South Sea Dragon King didn't expect that he would be fine without a single wound..
“going.”
Joo Seocheon became blurred, leaving only an afterimage..
“……”
The South Sea Dragon King was startled..
‘Lee Hyeong-hwanwi?’
It's not gone.
It moved at a speed that made you think it had disappeared..
‘That's the front too?’
I thought it would come at me from the side or from behind, but it wasn't..
Joo Seocheon, who had become blurred, appeared right in front of us..
I tried to grab the spear at my feet, but it was too late..
I gave up counterattacking or evading and focused on defense..
The skin turns into scales starting from the tips of the hands and feet..
They also tried to cover important parts of the body, such as the heart and head..
However, the sword arrived before it covered the entire body..
‘Haenam Ilgeomryu.’
Throw away trivial techniques.
The connecting part that will lead to the next herbivory was also removed..
I risked everything on one herbivorous meal..
It is double-edged with one sword, not one sword..
Stand up!
The sword moves downward from the top of the head..
A line was drawn from the top of the head, through the forehead where the brain is located, along the bridge of the nose, and all the way down to the crotch..
The flesh and bones beyond the scales were cut cleanly and splintered like pieces of wood..
Heo Eok!
The South Sea Dragon King let out a gasping sound and opened his eyes..
Sweat flows through the wrinkles that show the passage of time..
The moment beads of sweat fell down his cheeks and chin, the South Sea Dragon King came to his senses as if waking up from a nightmare..
“……”
Only then did he realize what had happened, and the South Sea Dragon King's expression became cruelly distorted as if he were angry..
“……lost.”
It was literally an instant..
It stopped at the edge of the black eyebrow that appeared after blurring..
Ju Seo-cheon intentionally stopped just before cutting..
The moment I realized that I wouldn't be able to avoid the extreme speed of the sword, the sword was so powerful that I inadvertently imagined myself getting hit..
As the area expanded, the red scales covering the skin disappeared..
My body was frozen like a stone and I couldn’t move..
My whole body was wet with cold sweat..
My legs relaxed and I almost lost face..
The Dragon King of the South Sea acknowledged his differences with Ju Seocheon..
‘How did a monster of this magnitude finally appear??’
The anger that boiled like lava cooled down..
The reason that did not listen to me has returned to its original state..
Only then was I able to look ahead objectively..
I noticed how drastic the difference in capabilities was..
The South Sea Dragon King’s complexion quickly turned to an earthy color..
Looking at Yong-mi's appearance, the sea was definitely defeated..
I still don't know what happened to the coast, but it was no use since the lives of the Dragon Palace and the Dragon King were at stake..
“kill it.”
The Dragon King of the South Sea readily admitted defeat..
“your majesty!”
“No, it works!”
Cries of sorrow broke out here and there..
It's loud enough to make your ears buzz..
It was so loud that people wondered if he had trained to raise his voice to replace Yonghu..
“If you had tried to kill me in the first place, you wouldn't have done such a troublesome thing..”
“……what do you want?”
“As I said before, I came to pick up Ganyaja..
And since there seems to be some misunderstanding between us, why don't we just calm down and talk about it??”
The South Sea Dragon King said nothing..
There was no other option anyway..
“Before we start, I have a few questions to ask. Do you know anything about Amcheonhoe??”
“Amcheonhoe……?”
“That reaction is enough.”
It seemed that Namhae Yongmun itself had nothing to do with Amcheonhoe..
“What is Yongguju??”
“Like that!”
“How can you be so shameless?!”
As soon as I asked about Yonggujaju, the reaction of those around me became more intense..
The South Sea Dragon King frowned, then raised his hand to clear up the surrounding commotion and then answered Joo Seocheon's question..
“These are the nine pillars that support the Yonggung Palace..”
There was once a major earthquake that turned the entire area upside down, and there was enough damage that a small island disappeared..
The underwater cave where Yonggung was located also did not escape the damage and was almost destroyed..
Namhae Yongmun quickly repaired the underwater cave and built nine pillars to support the Yonggung to prevent it from collapsing..
The name of the pillar was Yonggujuju..
“What do you mean by destroying Yonggujuju??”
“Humans on land make the sea angry by fighting for rights, resulting in sea destruction.!”
The enemy shouted in a sharp voice..
“So, are you saying that when the martial arts factions, like the Haenam Sword faction and the Nokhhoemun faction, began to compete for power, Yonggujuju began to collapse??”
“It didn't start to fall apart, it collapsed..”
The Dragon King of the South Sea pointed out Ju Seocheon’s interpretation..
‘I can't understand anything..’
I know that sea people are superstitious, but the problem is that they believe it too much, so conversation doesn't work..
They call him the Dragon King of the Four Seas, so what can they do?.
It was then.
Crumbling!
“It's a sea punishment!”
“the dragon was angry!”
“The fury of the sea!”
The floor of the Dragon Palace seemed to shake, but soon it grew step by step, causing the entire underwater cave to shake..
‘Are earthquakes the problem??’
The reason Yonggujuju collapsed was likely due to an earthquake..
If so, there really is no answer..
How can we prevent natural disasters?.
Since this happened, I thought I should at least threaten him and take only Ganyaja..
“No, I can't do anything because of that damn guy.!”
Behind the golden throne, a short, middle-aged man walked out, grumbling as if he was so angry..
“no way……?”
Joo Seocheon was more surprised to see the middle-aged man than to see the earthquake..
The hair is black, not light blue..
The skin was healthy and tanned..
It was characterized by rugged muscles..
She was different from the mermaids of the South Sea Yongmun who were in their twenties or thirties, had light hair, and skin as white as snow..
That means,
“liver palm tree?”
“Ugh? Who are you that you know me??”
The middle-aged man, Ganyaja, tilted his head..
“Wasn't he kidnapped??’
According to eyewitness accounts, Ganyaja followed Yongmundo Island in the South Sea as if he had gone on his own feet..
I thought he had been threatened, but judging by his outfit, it wasn't the case at all..
There is nothing restraining his body, and his facial expression is fine..
Other than being angry, there wasn't much of a problem..
“Let's go! How did Yonggungjaju come out??”
The Dragon King of the South Sea asked Ganyaja with a bad expression..
Unlike how he treated Joo Seocheon, his tone was gentle..
“Even if I try to fix it, that damn thing……”
Crumbling!
“Wow!”
“The Dragon Palace collapses.!”
“God of the sea!”
The ground shakes. There was a crack in the wall.
Water flowed in from the only entrance..
Crystals like stars fall from above..
If you make a mistake, you could end up with a hole in your skull..
‘What the hell is going on??’
something was about to happen.
Something unusual.
“Go back to Yonggujuju!”
The South Sea Dragon King became meditative and shouted to Ganyaja..
“If Yonggujuju falls, Yonggung will also end... … Okay, that’s it! I'll try to stop it myself.!”
The South Sea Dragon King forgot that the sword touched the top of his head, and turned around and flew away..
It seemed quite urgent..
“No, you crazy guy! You can't touch it carelessly.!”
Ganyaja was frightened and followed the South Sea Dragon King..
Ju Seocheon also chased after the Dragon King of the South Sea and Ganyaja..
As I turned to the back of the throne at the top of the stairs, I was greeted by an ornate door..
It was a golden door boasting considerable thickness and size..
It was decorated with a red dragon pattern, and there were nine in number..
At first glance, it was a door leading to Yonggujaju..
As I entered the wide open door, I saw a long passage full of crystals..
I grabbed the back of a non-human palm tree..
“Wow!”
“Keep your teeth clenched to avoid biting your tongue.”
Ju Seo-cheon performed a meditation with a palm tree on his side..
It was a one-way street so I didn’t have to worry about getting lost..
The aisle wasn't that long either..
It didn't take long since it was all downhill..
Going further down in an underwater cave that is presumed to be underground somewhere..
It wasn't long before we reached our destination..
“here……?”
The sight that unfolded before my eyes was a cavity twice as large as the Yonggung Palace..
The difference in width and height was several times greater..
Rather than saying it was communal, it was more like a small world..
The thing that caught my eye was the utensils that reached from the floor to the ceiling, and the material was unique..
It was neither limestone nor marble nor crystal..
I thought it would last for one season, but it wasn't like that..
It was a tree.
Of course, the raw material was unlikely to be ordinary wood..
Just looking at the outer thickness, it is thicker than the giant tree of Namman..
Joo Seocheon put down the palm tree and looked around..
“……?”
It was definitely my first time seeing something like this..
But strangely, it felt unfamiliar..
I feel a sense of déjà vu and foreignness..
There was something that couldn't be explained in words.
‘……What's the problem??’
I narrowed my eyes and looked around..
Crystals and stone dust fall from the ceiling as the shaking continues..
Other than that there was nothing special.
“Don't touch me carelessly!”
Ganyaja got irritated and shouted at the Dragon King of the South Sea..
He was holding on to a pillar that was shaking from the shaking..
“And then what if it collapses?!”
“Touching something without knowing anything is worse than leaving it alone..
The Yonggujaju's role is to divide and disperse the shock heading towards the Crystal Cave into nine parts..
If you hold on to it now, the distribution of the impact will be uneven, putting a strain on other pillars.!”
“Okay!”
The Dragon King of the South Sea was startled by Ganyaja’s threats and quickly let go..
Even he in the world couldn't move from Ganyaja..
Since the survival of the Dragon Palace was in his hands, it was natural that he could not be treated carelessly..
“So what should we do now?!
It looks like the Dragon Palace is about to collapse right now.!”
“Well, we have to kick the guy who is the culprit of this mess..”
“culprit?”
Joo Seocheon reacted to Ganyaja’s answer..
“Wait. The reason for this shaking now is because the sea is angry... … So, isn't it an earthquake??”
I didn't believe in the nonsense that said it was a disaster or something..
I thought it was due to a tectonic shift..
“I thought about your hair color, but judging by your reaction, I guess you're not from this neighborhood. Then you just don't know.”
Ganyaja was also similar when it arrived at Namhae Yongmun..
I kept hearing nonsense such as the sea being angry due to greed, the sea god's anger, the dragon coming to destroy the island, etc..
It was so abstract that I couldn't interpret it..
Even if they wanted direct expressions, their answers were consistent..
So, while staying here alone, I interpreted it in my own way and found the cause..
“It looks like a martial artist.,
Concentrate on your hearing and classify sounds and listen carefully..”
Joo Seocheon focused on the sound as Ganyaja told him to do..
There were a variety of sounds, including the sound of a cave shaking, the sound of dust falling, the sound of a crack somewhere, the sound of crystals or stones breaking and breaking, and the sound of water flowing..
As we classified, organized, and excluded each item, new buried sounds emerged..
“……!”
Joo Seocheon opened his eyes wide as if he noticed something..
“No way, the sea got angry and destroyed it……!”
* * *
“Okay!”
The Red Sea business was struggling..
‘Annoying guys!’
I had no idea that fighting on the coast without the Dead Sea would be so annoying..
Namhae Yongmun had a difficult time..
“Sniff!”
Kaga Gagak!
A sword blade passed over the red scales..
If it had not been for Yonglin Foreign Affairs, it might have been divided into several branches..
“You are really solid..”
Dan Lihua was secretly impressed and praised the Red Sea Merchant..
“……”
Zhuge Suran wiggled his eyebrows..
“Oh my, what was your teacher imagining??”
Dan Lihua covered his mouth with his sleeve and grinned..
“…… I didn't imagine anything.”
“It's cute.”
Dan Lihua smiled and smiled..
“Oooooh!”
In the meantime, the Red Sea Merchant attacked Danlihwa..
“Avoid!”
Wei Il-hae blocked the Red Sea Jangsa from the side as if there was no chance..
The dazzling speed of the sword was unleashed with the left sword..
“Tsk!”
The Red Sea Merchant clicked his tongue and crossed his arms to block..
Kaga River!
Haenam's sword grazed the body of the Jeokhae merchant..
“Are you okay??”
“I would like to thank Paju..”
“It's okay if it's okay. Rather, this guy is the problem..”
