Chapter 3

It wasn't just the Red Sea merchants who had to struggle..

Haenam Geompa was also the same..

It was truly a dragon scale..

The problem was that it didn't cut even if I cut it with the sword..

I felt like I was wearing self-defense gear..

The problem was that since it was an external attack, it did not consume internal energy like a self-defense technique..

He didn't look tired..

The good news among the misfortunes was that, except for the fact that the Red Sea Merchant was strong, its attacks were monotonous and easy to avoid..

I couldn't even make such a big deal out of it..

Because it was focused on defense, its weak attack was its weakness..

“I guess I'll have to join forces..”

A bluish haze rose from Dan Lihwa's sword body and hardened into the shape of a sword..

“Oh, by the way, I heard there are as many Kigi knights and masters in the central region as there are grains of sand, but I never thought there would be this much..

A disciple of the Huashan Sect is also a disciple, but you are not easy either..”

“I am honored to be praised by Jang Moon-in of Haenam Geompa..

However, no matter how much I do, I am not comparable to the Sword God. Hehehe.”

It was a simple painting that seemed to be in a good mood..

Haenam Geompaju is a renowned strongman and swordsman for generations..

It couldn't be bad to be recognized by a strong person..

“You have the guts to ignore this young man.!”

The Red Sea Merchant soared upward with a growl..

“Hyaap!”

Yonglin fell from above as if he had been catapulted..

Kwaaang!

Even though the sandy beach acted as a buffer, the loud noise and impact were loud..

As if a whale came to the surface and fell, waves of sand rippled loudly and covered the surrounding area..

“Get lost!”

The Red Sea Merchant stretched out his power to target the Wei Yi Sea..

It's not just a fist.

It's a fist covered in dragon.

There is no double number method, but the sheer power alone is not normal..

Above all, it was geographically advantageous..

Wi Il-hae turned the sword in his left hand, placed his three fingers on the body of the sword on his right side, and pressed down gently, taking a defensive stance..

“Pfft!”

Cooung!

The moment my fist hit the sword body, my body trembled violently..

It was truly monstrous..

A moan came out naturally..

Body sinks due to shock.

It wasn’t because I couldn’t withstand the shock..

It was the sandy beach.

Deep to the ankles.

Terrain is more important than you think.

I can't show off my usual skills just because I'm on sand..

The foundation of martial arts is the lower body and footwork..

In the case of inspection, the steps are even more important..

He is an expert who reaches the point of fire, so he can make up for it with experience or inaction, but it is still fatal..

It's not a problem if you can consistently pull out self-defense skills or strong skills, but your strength is not infinite like others..

It is common to use strength at a clear moment when the game can be won..

pabababat!

At the moment of crisis, a wave of sword energy came from the side and helped Wei Yihai..

It was Danlihwa’s seventy-two swords..

Chaechaechaechaeng!

Dozens of sword stems intersect countlessly, forming a net..

Scratches quickly increased on the red scales..

The Red Sea Merchant gave up pushing and quickly retreated with a frown on his face..

“Okay!”

Although the terrain was advantageous, the enemy was formidable..

“Oh my goodness.”

Dan Lihwa discovered an abnormality in the breathing of Jeokhae Merchant..

“It looks like he's exhausted, as his breathing is unstable, as if he's exhausted and depressed... … Right?”

Those who trained externally were bound to have less stamina than internally, which focuses on breathing..

No matter how great your defense or strength was, you got tired easily, which was another problem..

“Then it will be time for this world to end……”

Shaaaaa-!

Dan Lihua's voice was suddenly drowned out by a loud roar..

“……?”

I looked around in bewilderment even though Danlihwa was in danger..

No, not around here..

To be exact, it was the sea beyond the coast, the surface of the water where six ships were located..

It was clear that the sound came from the sea, but nothing was seen..

“This, this sound……”

The Red Sea Merchant suddenly reacted strangely..

The appearance of murderous intent and fighting spirit, let alone fear, was nowhere to be seen, and the once broad shoulders became narrow and the neck was hunched over..

He looked very afraid of something..

What was strange wasn't just the Red Sea Merchant..

The Namhae Yongmun group, which had been fighting well until now, also stopped fighting and became afraid..

“Well, the sea was angry……”

“Hehehe!”

“Yo, dragon! Please fix it.!”

At the same time, the warriors of the Haenam Island forces also looked at the sea in confusion..

“That is……?”

Zhuge Suran, who was expressionless, also looked surprised..

Quaaaaa! It's good.

“Argh! shaking!”

the sea was angry.

There was no other expression.

Several waves rolled in succession, and at times they even hit and pushed the side of the boat with force..

The drones on board rolled on the floor..

I almost got thrown out..

I survived by holding on to the railing..

“Ahhhhh!”

Zhuge Succession screamed with a pale face..

Chu Lian chuckled, holding Zhuge Succession on his belt..

“The sailors talked about how the sea was rough and that it was a place no one could go to, but it was nothing.!”

“no! no! It's scary! not good! I don't like it!”

Zhuge Emperor screamed while holding Chu Lian's waist..

He looked like he was about to cry.

“This is the time!”

Pirates who replaced the labor force threw themselves into the sea..

Throwing yourself into the sea in this mess is suicidal, but staying in the boat is the same..

If you are forced to work as a laborer and are captured by the government, you will be put to death anyway..

Since I have learned handcraft, the sea is better..

“Where are you going……?”

When the monk Hwabyeok saw the pirate he had missed, he was about to scream, but then closed his mouth..

It was because of the shadows visible on the sea surface..

At first I thought it was a cloud or a whale..

However, it was too long for a cloud or a whale..

something is about to come up.

“Hold on to anything―!”

Monk Hwabyeok made a quick decision..

And immediately disaster struck the ship..

Kwaaaa!

something came out of the water.

The body was so long that it was hard to guess how long it was..

The thickness of the body is also considerable..

People were overwhelmed by its size and length and could not do anything..

The pirate who jumped into the sea lost consciousness after being hit by his body and fell to the bottom of the water..

“Yo, yo, dragon?”

Zhuge Heungye froze and stuttered..

Choryun also looked blankly ahead with a surprised face..

The vertically split pupils are bright yellow..

Waves crashed on scales sparkling with water droplets..

The twisted body was half out of the water and the other half below the surface..

“no, it's a snake.”

The person who answered the question was Joo Seocheon, who landed on the railing..

Joo Seocheon laughed, pushing back his wet hair..

However, unlike the smile, his face was full of tension..

“It's been almost thirteen or fourteen years……?”

Memories of the past passed through my mind..

Underwater cave, wooden tools, cries.

And, a snake so big it could be mistaken for a dragon..

“A long time.”

It was a reunion between the guardian spirit and the watchman..

people panicked.

Neither Haenam Geompa nor Namhae Yongmun could keep their mouths shut..

Both Jungwon and South Sea Indians were overwhelmed by the majesty of the snake..

“Sun, sea god!”

“The dragon god has come out!”

“Unbelievable!”

Most Haenam Islanders are engaged in fishing..

Even if you don't do it yourself, some of your family or close relatives do..

As a result, I came into contact with the superstitions that most sailors believe in and naturally began to believe them..

There are many beliefs and superstitions about the sea, but the most prominent among them are the Sea God and the Dragon King, the gods of the sea..

It was not for nothing that the Haenam Geompa and the Nokhhoemun became hostile to the Namhae Yongmun and lost public support..

Namhae Yongmun is both a sect and a religion..

And the whole body of the Dragon King is a dragon..

But now that a dragon has appeared in front of you, it would be strange if you didn't get scared..

“Are we really doing something wrong??”

“If you made the sea angry with greed……”

Starting with the small and medium-sized factions that cooperated with the Haenam Swordsman faction, they began to lose their will to fight one by one..

I can't fight when I see something like that..

Zhuge Suran sensed the depressed atmosphere and quickly shouted:.

“Take a good look at your head! It's not a dragon!”

Dragons and snakes are similar but different in appearance.

Also, it must have legs attached to the body, but that snake did not have them..

Just looking at its huge body, you could easily mistake it for a dragon..

Unfortunately, my head was hidden by my stomach so I couldn't see it well..

If it were unmanned, you could see it if you concentrated a little more, but people couldn't afford that..

Among the misfortunes, the fortunate thing was that Namhae Yongmun was in a similar situation..

No, it was more severe than something similar..

Some people even bowed their heads and trembled..

‘why… … what is happening?’

Zhuge Suran looked at the sea worriedly..

‘Prince Zhou, be careful..’

The man and the snake looked at each other.

Ju Seocheon was reflected in bright yellow eyes the size of a person..

Joo Seocheon also saw the head of a snake..

‘The raw material of Yonggujuju must be the sacred tree of the Suryulsin family..’

As soon as I saw Daegongdong at Namhae Yongmun, I felt a sense of familiarity..

A strange feeling that is unfamiliar yet not unfamiliar.

I learned what the indescribable feeling that is a mixture of déjà vu and foreignness is..

‘Although the place is different, it is the same as the place I went to when I was young..’

It was the same environment except that the sacred tree became a pillar..

Before coming up to the surface, Ju Seocheon asked the Dragon King of the South Sea when did the sea become angry?.

‘It's been about ten years.’

The timing was right too..

It was a snake I saw before..

No, timing isn't really that important..

My body's sensations and memories were screaming that it was a spirit creature I had seen before..

It is clear when you look at that overwhelming intimidation and eyes..

‘The problem is why someone who should be around the island came all the way to this underwater cave in the far southern sea..’

A snake that only lives in river water but comes out to the sea is not a problem because it is a spiritual creature..

But it was strange because the distance was so far away..

Geographically, to get from Shaanxi to Nanhai, you have to pass through the Yangtze River, exit to the East Sea, and then head south..

If you were wandering around the waters near the South Sea, you wouldn't know..

But what was strange was that the outer wall of the Dragon Palace, or Crystal Cave, had been hit for more than ten years..

Shaaaaa!

‘Now is not the time for idle thinking..’

The past is the past, but looking at it in the present, it was amazing..

A roar so loud that it rips your body or your eardrums. My whole body trembled..

It appeared to be a spirit higher than the Chilgaksa Temple or the In-myeonjiju..

“Dragon King and his tail! Did you see it?!”

Ju Seo-cheon shouted, not caring about the great object in front of him..

“It wasn't the fury of the sea or the dragon that toppled the pillars of the Dragon Palace for over ten years! It's just a small thing!”

As soon as Ju Seo-cheon heard about the existence of the snake from Ganya-ja, he rushed out of the palace, saying he would deal with it..

Of course, the Dragon King of the South Sea, who considers dragons sacred, and Yongmi followed suit, wondering what they were planning to do..

The old man and the woman looked at the snake's face with only their heads above the water..

“Because it was hidden in the deep sea, we could only see the body and not the head, and its true nature was an imoogi that could not become a dragon.!”

It is said that if a serpent that becomes a spirit creature accumulates the path for over 500 years, it becomes a dragon and in the thousandth year it ascends to heaven..

If you look at the body alone, it may look like a dragon, but since it has no feet and still looks like a snake, it is not a dragon..

The symbolic Yeouiju was also missing..

“that……”

The enemy looked up at the Imoogi with bewildered eyes..

The South Sea Dragon King had a similar reaction..

What the Namhae Yongmun Gate considers sacred is dragons, not snakes or dragons..

Of course, the Imoogi, also known as the Dragon Spawn, is also considered sacred in its own way, but it is not comparable to humans..

The history of the Namhae Yongmun Gate consisted only of ‘dragons’..

It's not that I didn't want to check it all this time..

However, it was difficult in many ways due to problems..

Yonggung is located underground..

If you go down a little further underground, you will reach Daegong-dong, where Yonggujuju is located..

To check for the Imoogi attacking from the outside, you had to go down to the bottom of the deep sea, but that wasn't possible due to the water pressure..

air is not the problem.

How much can I hold my breath?.

The problem was darkness with no light and water pressure..

Also, if you made a mistake, you would get caught in the current and no matter how much you practiced water, you would not be able to come back alive..

An absolute master like Joo Seo-cheon can endure a little longer, but since handwork is not his main strength, he was careful..

So, keeping a little distance, I borrowed a trident from Namhae Yongmun and guided it to hit the Imoogi under the deep sea..

“Turn the boat around now! run away!”

Joo Seocheon shouted so that the captains of each ship could hear..

According to legend, the Imoogi is the king of creatures and the ruler of water..

It is not the forerunner of a dragon for nothing..

In the first place, it is suicidal to compete head-on with a body that is the size of a house, no, it feels like a mountain..

Even if it is a large, modified ship, it will capsize with one swing of its tail..

“Also, run away.?”

Zhuge Succession asked as if that were possible..

“Don't worry, I'll deal with you instead.!”

Joo Seocheon threw himself off the railing..

“older brother!”

Buzz buzz!

‘Player's victory!’

The sword light flowing from the sword body rotates..

Not only the current of the water but also the current of the air moved and waved violently..

‘Jaha Gaebyeok!’

I straightened my sword out straight..

The black light turned purple and then disappeared..

The intangible force rotated and shot out..

In the case of Yongjo, he was worried about Zhuge Suran, so he could not demonstrate his skills, and he was careful at Yonggung for fear of collapsing..

But there was no need for that here and now..

There are six ships left, but they are not immobile, so you don't have to worry too much about them..

Rumbling!

A spinning thunderbolt struck the Imoogi's head..

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The Imoogi is shaking its head in pain..

I tossed and turned too..

Every time I moved, the waves crashed loudly..

“I have no choice but to ride.”

Zhuge Succession cried out as he hugged Choryeong’s side..

“In this big wave!”

“I turned the control stick―!”

“withdrawal! withdrawal! take out the oars!”

Raise the sails and use oars instead of harpoons..

The ship was moved with all its might to avoid being caught up in the rampage of the dragon, or rather the Imoogi..

Fortunately, I was able to ride the wave and retreat quickly..

However, the water was so rough that it was not chaotic..

The ship rises high and then falls down..

As if demonstrating the ship's excellence, it did not break even on impact..

Instead, those on board started rolling and screaming..

“her!”

Joo Seocheon was equally surprised..

‘Even though I was given an intangible examination, I said I was fine.?’

I thrust my sword with the intention of piercing his head..

However, there were only scratches on the face and no injuries at all..

Ju Seo-cheon, who confirmed that the Imoogi had no injuries, landed on the water in astonishment..

The water was just a breeze, but my feet didn't sink..

Reverse the technique of Manjunggeom to lighten your body and then take a leisurely step forward with an equal footing..

“Maybe more annoying than you think……”

Boom!

“……”

I looked down without thinking and was shocked..

A black shadow was moving upward at terrifying speed..

“Pfft!”

I tried to get away quickly, but it was too late..

Before that, the Imoogi's body came up from below and struck the body..

Kwaaaa!

As the heavy body rose, there was an explosion and a roar..

I don't know if I got hit or was thrown away..

My body rose high in the sky.

Even a top expert would have fainted or broken a bone and been unable to move..

Joo Seocheon floundered in the air, then turned over several times to gain balance and gain weight..

net - liquid!

The body fell vertically like a sword and landed on one of the Imoogi's torsos..

Kuu-ung!

When I stepped on my body, there was a loud noise..

However, compared to the sound, this weapon is fine..

‘Even though he fell from that height using a mixture of Cheongeunchu's technique and Manjunggeom's techniques, he was still fine..

It's not just the scales that are hard.’

It's not just big.

It's thicker than expected.

I also felt like my body was being hit, but it didn't cause any internal injuries..

‘It's like a whole season.’

It is said that the multi-valued number method does not work well for 10,000 years of age..

It’s not a legendary metal for nothing..

It was truly a magical creature worthy of legend..

‘Don't give up. There are still many numbers left..’

Kicked off the scales and ran over the body..

It was smooth rather than rough, so it glided across the ice..

‘Green Eyes Only Poison Ball!’

Heavy raindrops fell from above my head..

His left eye flashed pale green as it peered through the remnants of the waves..

The venom of Inmyeonjiju flowing from Hadanjeon spreads to every corner..

The color of the haze flowing over the sword body changes..

As soon as I was ready, I lowered the sword down and cut the body, going around the eight meridians and reaching the left eye above the head..

Kagagaga River!

However, a sword made of poison is meaningless if it cannot cut..

“Shit!”

I couldn't help but curse..

It was truly a gold bullion..

It was a miracle that I survived this thing when I was young..

Kyaoooooooooo!

A deafening roar.

The sound alone is enough to create a tsunami..

Both people and animals trembled in fear..

“……!”

Joo Seocheon was unable to run his entire body and was thrown to the side..

The Imoogi turned around midway..

The moment I tried to check what was going on, my body stiffened..

Wow.

In the past, the sentinel of the Suryeongshin opens his mouth..

The inside of the mouth is still like a snake itself..

The fangs were threatening..

“Oh no……”

Quack!

The mouth of the Imoogi has closed..

It happened so quickly..

I first thought that I could move around like that with that size..

“no-!”

Zhuge Suran let out a loud scream..

From the middle, I forgot to look at the battlefield and just looked around..

I was able to see far away by increasing my eyesight through internal energy..

Although she is more skilled at fighting than martial arts, she still does the basics like the Five Dragons Three Peaks..

There was also an elixir provided by Sega, so it had a lot of power, so I was able to see it in more detail..

Dan Li-hwa's face wasn't that good either..

“large, large intestine……”

Monk Hwabyeok muttered with a thoughtful face..

however……

”Ugh ugh ugh pole!”

A sound was heard from inside the mouth of the Imoogi..

It's not the majestic cry just moments ago, it's human..

A tightly closed mouth slowly opens.

Imoogi also looked embarrassed..

I could see resistance as the upper and lower mouth trembled..

However, despite my efforts, my mouth opened wide..

Not long after, Ju Seo-cheon was seen sticking a sword into the roof of his mouth and trying to open his mouth..

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

The biting power was great, but the opening power was also great..

He used all of his air power, like the Great Sea, to open his mouth, then pulled out the sword fixed to the ceiling and stepped back..

Kwasik!

In the end, the Imoogi just chewed empty space..

‘Is this really a swordsman and not just a rumor??’

‘I heard that the Seven Seas of Heaven are not human, but……’

‘Are you really a person??’

People who saw that scene couldn't help but be astonished..

‘Let's see who wins!’

Joo Seocheon grabbed the Imoogi’s snout and hung on..

“Haha!”

When you apply strength, the arm muscles swell and give strength..

It sent vibrations through its body, moved up its snout, and quickly stabbed the Imoogi in the eye..

Puuk!

‘done!’

I feel a stabbing sensation starting from my fingertips..

I cheered internally and tried to shove the sword into my eyeball..

Shaaaaa―!

Is that so, the Imoogi didn’t sit still?.

The Imoogi struggled in agony from the burning pain..

Ju Seocheon, which was hanging languidly, also shook..

‘It's impossible!’

Grasp the handle of the sword tightly and snap..

You can't miss this opportunity.

I was planning to bite like a wolf..

Shaaaaaaa!

The cries of anger ringing across the South Sea.

When the leech-like human did not fall, the Imoogi became angry and threw its head below the water..

Kwaaang!

There was a loud bang as if gunpowder had exploded, not a plop..

The waves are so strong that they block the sunlight..

Normally, there would have been schools of fish, but they had already left the nearby waters a long time ago due to the appearance of the ruler of the sea..

Quagwagwagwagwa!

Imoogi swam in the sea.

It's not a leisurely swim..

I swam roughly to knock Joo Seocheon off my head..

‘Sigh.!’

My vision is spinning.

The scene before my eyes changed quickly..

Because I was swimming at high speed, the water pressure was not normal..

Even if you were an average or peak expert, you would have failed a long time ago..

Even Joo Seo-cheon wouldn't have survived if it weren't for Su In-gong..

‘Poison… … No, you can't do that. If you do that, Suin-gong's luck will be ruined..’
