pa-ang!
Burning blue eyes.
And the body of the director of the Pokédex also disappeared in a flash..
To be exact, it hasn't disappeared..
It was just a mistake because it moved at a speed that the eyes couldn't follow..
‘Jaha Geomgyeol!’
I could still see it just now.
But not this one.
There was no way I could keep up with it..
It was a speed beyond human limits, but I could tell where it was coming from..
Direction was read from external information such as the power tearing the atmosphere, the vibrations of the air, and how the wind splits..
‘Jaha Gaebyeok!’
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
When I stretched out my sword, a terrifyingly rotating force was shot out..
‘Hwawoo linear!’
The sword spreads like a fantail..
The straight line was divided into several lines and shot all at once..
However, unlike usual, the direction was upward, and this is where the third change occurred..
‘The third ceremony, burial under red leaves)!’
Dozens of swords that were reaching upward at once turned downward and came together, pouring down like a waterfall..
Quagwagwagwagwagwa!
It was a mistake for the Dog Inspector General to lose his reason and rely on his instincts..
Even so, most herbivorous books were powerful but simple and easy to read..
I stopped thinking there and thought, 'I attack like this.' It was like shouting loudly..
So, I read the route, calculated Jaha Geomgyeol's initial formula, aimed for the perfect moment, and poured out all my power..
“Wow!!”
Rain of swords weighing down on my shoulders.
The purple waterfall, so dazzlingly dazzling, was stained red with blood..
The sight was so jaw-droppingly beautiful that even those who watched with bated breath involuntarily burst out in admiration..
It was charged head on, but the body was not unharmed..
A waterfall made of swords pierced my entire body and created a hole..
A situation where anyone can judge that you will not be safe..
Although he had a self-defense device wrapped around his body, he was hit head-on and was unable to withstand it and was broken..
I thought it was all over like that.
one,
Joo Seocheon doesn't let down his guard..
Joo Seocheon is not at ease..
Joo Seocheon is not conceited..
‘Sacrificial ritual (第四式)).’
The moment the red-colored waterfall falls on the ground, the heavens and earth shake..
The world shakes like it's falling apart.
To be precise, the ground collapsed and shattered due to the amount of force fired at one location, and the shock wave burst into the air..
And the waterfall pierced the body of the encyclopedia director and fell down, but instead of disappearing, it floated into the air..
“Harmony between Catholics and Catholics).”
Even as he was losing consciousness, the head of the Dog Inspector's eyes were rolled back and he was coughing up blood and crying out in resentment and anger..
“Yeah, this guy... … Joo Seocheon……”
A name that can never be forgotten.
“Juseocheeooooooooooo-!”
Shoot aaaaa!
The waterfall floated into the air and then turned into clouds, and soon the swords that became thick raindrops like raindrops poured down..
Quagwagwagwagwa!
My flesh is torn. The arm was cut off, then divided into dozens of pieces and turned into pieces of meat..
The body had hundreds of holes and was torn apart beyond recognition..
Wow!
The cries of the Blue and White Allied Forces spread like thunder..
Allied flags fluttered in the wind here and there..
The civil war in the forest lasted for about a week.).
It was the Blue and White Allied Forces that emerged victorious in the struggle for power..
The match was decided simply by the Chungwang and Tokchung tribes joining the allied forces, not the main tribes..
Even the Guxi tribe, which is said to be the strongest tribe in southern Manchuria and is said to be the most powerful tribe in the south, had a large difference in the number of troops..
To make matters worse, the Poisonous tribe turned into enemies, so the Guxi tribe had nothing to do..
After the regime of Dalue was overthrown by the Central Plains, it was the fall of the barbarians who controlled the forest only by force..
Four days later.
“You have to keep your promise..”
Yeori emphasized this several times.
Of course.
King Chung shook his head..
Four days ago, King Chung accepted Ju Seocheon’s proposal..
Shin-gong, a secret member of the tribe, promised not to invade in exchange for hearing about the rescue..
Not only that, they also promised not to step on each other's territory..
From the point of view of the Tokchung tribe, it didn't matter because their residence was within the Mandokji area and they didn't have much time to go outside..
The Allied Forces also had to welcome Mandokji with open arms, as it was a place they had never ventured to since it was dangerous..
“I really don't mind letting them go?”
“Aren't they the ones who were once called a major tribe and engaged in all kinds of mischief??”
“Three years ago, my sister-in-law was bitten by one of their bugs and died after writhing in pain for a week..”
But not everyone welcomed it..
Some, or even quite a lot of people, were dissatisfied and opposed..
They're not barbarians for nothing.
In the meantime, they plundered by force and committed all kinds of evil, not through dialogue..
Although it was less numerous than the now extinct cannibal tribes or beast tribes, it was still a major tribe at one time..
It's actually strange that there is no animosity..
“Anyway, the total number is only five hundred. What need is there to be afraid??”
Yeori frowned and began to mediate with the leadership..
“Isn’t that an opportunity??”
“That's right. Aren't we barbarians who never know when they'll show their fangs again?.”
“Now is the perfect time.”
It wasn't wrong..
Even if the language makes some sense, a barbarian is still a barbarian..
Haven't we been talking for a while and only asserting our power?.
I didn't know when things would change again..
I didn't want to leave behind any relatives or even my clan, but I couldn't do it..
“Calm down. Although it hasn't been overshadowed by the victory, the army is very tired..”
Wan Chae stepped forward and persuaded the leader..
“Although the number is only five hundred, don't you all know how great its power is?.”
The Tokchung tribe has about 400 members, and the Guhui tribe has about 100 members..
Although it may not seem like a big deal, it is not at all..
I don't know what will happen if these people come at me with a life-or-death attitude..
“Above all, keep in mind that Jungwon's search party, Joo Seo-cheon, is no longer helping..”
Even if they somehow win, the Allied forces may be on the brink of destruction..
“Okay.”
“If so, what……”
When Joo Seo-cheon said he would not participate in the war, groans came from all over..
Everyone lost their appetite and gave up..
In my heart, I wanted to keep it to myself..
I used beauty techniques whenever I had time, but it didn't work at all..
And what's so urgent? I've already finished preparing to go back..
Unfortunately, we had no choice but to sign a peace treaty..
“He who has continued the progress of self-righteousness, thank you for returning the credit. If you need help, let me know anytime. In the agreement with Cheonghwa and Toho, it is stipulated that if you ask for help, you can escape Mandokji, so there is no need to feel burdened. we are brothers.”
Even if you wash your eyes, you could not find any hostility towards Ju Seocheon from King Chung..
Maybe it's because my dream came true, but only favor remains..
“I have never had brothers like you. Stop making statements that may cause misunderstanding..”
Self-righteousness means poisonous horse..
If there is even a rumor that a disciple of the Hwasan Sect, or even a hero of the Right Sect, is a descendant of a poisonous demon, his position will be in trouble..
And due to the nature of mid-level teaching, it is not wrong to say that I could not make progress since I only learned half of the lesson..
“Don’t forget your pact with midfielder Guhi. If you do something as foolish as the guy before, I won't forgive you. And no matter how much she was threatened, she felt shameful for deceiving the woman in question, so she wished she would leave behind the congressman's head..”
We also negotiated with the Guxi tribe..
Of course, the content was quite different from that of the poisonous insect tribe..
“Don't act like a perverted guy who chases after you because he couldn't forget you even though he was dumped, stop giving up. In return, the Poisonous tribe has promised to once again help in the manufacture of the shrine, so there is no need to worry about that..”
“There is nothing to worry about, Matriarch of Guxi. You can trust me, King Chung, I will always keep my words once I say them..”
If the Tokchung tribe's long-cherished wish is the Nok-an Man-pok-gong, the Guhi tribe's long-cherished wish is to manufacture a shrine that has not been made for a long time..
They are called a mysterious tribe, and it is not for nothing that they have not been seen for a long time. The whole tribe put a lot of effort into the manufacturing process alone..
“By the way, shouldn’t you have been a little gentler? And of course, I lost my altar because of all the fuss in the river.……”
Guyo gave a reproachful look and muttered..
I wanted to search around and find it, but the current was so strong that the moment I lost it, it was already over..
When I first heard the news, I couldn't hold back my anger, so I found the body of the head of the police department, trampled it, burned it, and threw it away..
Anyway, there was still some lingering resentment between each other, but considering realistic circumstances, a peace treaty was concluded..
King Chung and Guyo each led their tribes and disappeared into the invisible bushes of Mandokji..
“Thank you very much.”
Yeo-ri bowed while holding Joo Seo-cheon's hand..
Not long ago, I was half grateful and half afraid, but now it was different..
The eyes were full of gratitude and awe..
“I will never forget the grace you gave me not only for saving my life as I was trembling in that prison, not knowing when I would end up in the stomach of a man-eating demon, but also for helping me take the lead in subjugating major tribes, which I thought was impossible, and for enabling me to achieve victory. This is Cheonghwa’s Toho, Yeori. We express our sincere gratitude to the heroes of the Great Forest..”
Yeo-ri’s eyes were watering as if she was getting emotional..
“Thank you.”
Gungun and Wanchae also bowed with Haoche as they had done so far and greeted each other with respect..
I felt sincerity, not pretense..
‘I'm not in a bad mood……’
Joo Seocheon smiled awkwardly, feeling a strange emotion..
Hero of the Great Forest. In other words, isn’t he just a hero for others?.
The fall of the South is due to the Central Plains and the Ming Dynasty..
If you think about it, I was from a country that was an enemy, but it felt really strange to be treated like a hero..
“If you need help, please let me know. If it's a hero's request, I'll run to it at once..”
“I refuse. No, please don't come..”
Joo Seo-cheon gave a straight face..
Even so for the major tribes, the situation becomes more serious when the Qing and Chinese allied forces, known as Dayue's Huin, cross the border..
Worst of all, he might be accused of being a traitor and executed because he was judged to be helping others build an army..
Joo Seo-cheon explained the situation to Yeo-ri and Wan-chae just in case, and then emphasized it several times, asking them to keep it in mind..
“Then we will leave..”
“Okay, just stay a few more days. You may be criticized by others for treating a hero poorly..”
“Toho is also busy cleaning up after himself, wouldn't it be difficult if I intervened??”
Winning the war does not end it.
Cleaning up after that is always a headache..
It goes without saying that the landscape of power in the southern Manchurian territory has changed..
There is a mountain of work to do..
This land has become so devastated due to the major tribes, and we are busy trying to restore it while also managing the allied tribes..
In particular, the existence of Joo Seo-cheon is at stake in public distribution with those who borrow power..
Heroes are undesirable to powerful politicians..
“I can't help it. Then, please accept at least the minimum sincerity..”
Yeori gave me various things as a token of gratitude..
Knowing that there was a long way back, I chose the most valuable item..
“thank you for your consideration.”
Jungwon Murim's search party is on its way home..
Before leaving, I did not forget to send a letter to Hwain Clinic..
As soon as the search party heard the news that they were leaving this damn forest, they smiled brightly and cheered..
“Now the humid and muggy climate is over.!”
“Instead of my wife's lip marks, my whole body was filled with insect bite marks, which was driving me crazy.……”
“Phew. I want to go back quickly, fill my stomach with somen at the guesthouse, drink some bamboo leaf greens, and get drunk..”
“Ugh!”
The search party was also very tired from the long mission..
I was dissatisfied with everything: the food that didn't suit my taste, the bugs that constantly appeared, the climate that made me irritated, etc..
Joongwon did not leave Namman alone for no reason..
Precious tropical fruits were delicious, but everything else was worthless..
Not long ago, I was feeling homesick and depressed day by day, but now I feel a little lighter..
On the contrary, I smiled brightly and even chatted at the thought of returning to my hometown..
“By the way, did you see Zhou Daehyup fighting??”
“I got goosebumps while watching it. It makes you wonder if it's really Hwagyeong..”
The martial arts people, both the Jeomchang faction and the faction faction, talked excitedly about his inaction while he was not looking..
“I had heard well how great the martial arts skills of Maehwajeonggeom were, but I had no idea it was of that level..”
The priest of the man-eating tribe, the black buffalo of the beast tribe, Guyo of the Guxi tribe, and the king of the poisonous insect tribe. They were all masters comparable to the world's greatest masters..
Among them, the magic and abilities of the priest were especially remarkable..
My whole body still trembles when I think of the flames that seem to melt my skin as soon as I get close to them..
However, I felt a sense of awe when I casually ran through it head on and knocked it down..
“It's a shame I didn't see it all.”
It wasn't a very leisurely situation as there was only fierce fighting..
It ended up being just an occasional glimpse..
I was only able to look at the black buffalo in detail, but I couldn't afford to do that for other fights, so I could only see the results..
But that alone was so great that everyone was busy talking about it with their voices muted..
“Hmm, hmm.”
Joo Seocheon pricked up his ears and smiled slightly as if he was in a good mood..
As expected from an expert, his hearing is not at a normal level..
In my previous life, I couldn't help but be happy because, let alone receiving attention, no one even remembered my name..
“Hey, can I ask you something??”
While I was secretly laughing under my breath, Shinui spoke to me..
“of course. Feel free to ask.”
“That, approx. When do you plan to take it??”
Joo Seo-cheon trembled at Shin's question..
“What do you mean by medicine??”
“It's no use being sly in front of this old man..”
God tapped the tip of his nose with a knowing face..
“Even though they poured out such terrifying attacks, they didn't target just one place. It was truly amazing..”
Joo Seocheon groaned and groaned..
It seemed impossible to deceive God..
“You're not faithful for nothing..”
My sense of smell was unique..
Even if I tried to hide it, it was so easily discovered..
I was glad I was able to keep some distance from my group..
I asked in a low voice if I had any intention of revealing my faith..
“Guhi's shrine, you have it.?”
“yes.”
Joo Seocheon responded obediently, as if he had given up..
“I don't plan on taking it back, so don't worry. I can keep your secret if you want..”
Sinui stroked his white beard and smiled sinisterly..
“What is the price??”
“Hehe, I'm glad you're quick-witted..”
Shinui smiled with satisfaction and his eyes lit up..
“I want to know the effects after taking it..”
“Effectiveness, you mean??”
Since it was an object, I was nervous because I didn't know what to say, but it wasn't as big as I thought..
“That's right. This old man made it himself, but you never know the effectiveness of medicine unless you try it, especially if it was your first time making it. I want to know if the rumors passed down from generation to generation in Guhi's family are true..”
God's eyes sparkle with curiosity and exploration.
Although the area around him is full of wrinkles, his eyes are like a child..
‘This spirit is more dangerous than you think.’
Ju Seo-cheon was relieved to see the sincerity of not saying anything about the altar, but at the same time he was alert..
‘I've heard that it's hard to use a new medicine starting from a rare medical book, but I never thought it would be this bad..’
While he was being used by an unknown force, there was absolutely no interest in him..
Rather than that, his eyes lit up as he said he wanted to see the efficacy of the new drug he had manufactured..
It wasn't a normal reaction.
Since coming here, there hasn't been a single question like who sent it or what happened..
Of course, while cleaning up the aftermath of the war, the search party provided a preliminary explanation, but this was too much for anyone to be interested in..
‘If Amcheonhoe were to approach using something else as bait, they would not be suspicious but rather welcome and join..’
In the case of my previous life, I gave up my faith due to the Sword Demon's appeasement..
but now it's different.
Since he could not meet the Sword Demon, Shinui was the most desirable person among the talented people to appease..
The art of medicine that has reached the level of a god is also a form of medicine, but the fact that it can be achieved if you put your mind to it was something to welcome..
‘I have to hold on to it..’
I thought about it before accepting Hwain Clinic's request, but God's faith is a great help in the fight against Amcheonhoe..
There was no need to worry about injuries as long as Hwain Clinic, which focuses on good faith as well as individual medical techniques, followed suit..
Above all, I was anxious because I thought God's faith would be lured to the elixir or inner circle registered in the Pokédex of the Amcheonhoe..
“great. I will accept it.”
“This is why I like young people. That's because the story progresses smoothly and without interruption. Hehehehe.”
Sinui patted Joo Seocheon on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction..
“Well, may I ask you a few questions??”
“Feel free to ask.”
Ju Seo-cheon asked Sinui about the head of the dogam department and, by extension, about Amcheonhoe..
The reason I didn't ask until now was because I was busy getting ready to leave, but also because I was worried about my weakened mind and body after being kidnapped..
But after talking like this, I didn't even notice anything like that..
In fact, Sinui explained what had happened so far with a nonchalant expression..
‘Well, indeed.’
It wasn't surprising as it was expected to some extent..
But I didn't believe everything.
The possibility that Sinui was included in the Amcheonhoe could not be ignored..
‘I am a tired person.’
The more people like this, the more difficult it is to understand their true intentions..
I can't believe it, but if possible, I have to make him an ally..
I had to be careful in preparation for any unexpected situation..
I thought I would add a ghost when I got to Jungwon..
In my mind, I wanted to speed up my steps back to the midfield..
However, it was impossible because the search party was exhausted..
Since they had been forced to march all this time because they were worried about God's life, it was natural that they were exhausted. He got adequate rest..
Joo Seocheon was not as exhausted as the search party members, so he used his rest time to strengthen his strength..
“Major, come sit here and show me your back..”
“yes.”
The major suddenly appeared and sat in front..
“Don't move. Try to hold your breath as much as possible.”
Immobility and holding one's breath are the assassin's specialties..
It wasn't particularly difficult for the ghost who had achieved the ultimate skill..
‘Consultation magic).’
It was the identity of a monster that terrorized Nanman, the chieftain of a cannibalistic tribe, and the magic that had been passed down from generation to generation to the priest..
The trick is to pierce the skin with a needle, make a wound, and then pour in ink or other paint to carve a pattern or letter..
It is usually used to threaten the enemy or announce the rank of warriors within the tribe, but cannibalistic tribes are different..
Depending on the engraved patterns or letters, they were able to exert various powers that could not be understood through common sense..
‘I've had enough practice.’
Once a pattern or letter is engraved, it is not easy to erase it..
There is a lot of pain and it takes a long time..
So, right after I got the spell book, I practiced occasionally..
The skill of using a sword was a bit helpful, so I learned it quickly even though it was my first time using it..
‘There's no one around……’
Since I had told the group that I would be training in the seasons of volcanoes, it was okay not to assume that they would come to visit..
Just in case, I asked Dan Ha-seong to help protect the law, and he willingly accepted, asking me to entrust him with that amount..
“Phew.”
I exhaled and then inhaled..
I pulled myself together, lifted the needle in my hand, applied color to the prepared synthetic paint, and cut a wound on the major's back..
Transfer the geometric shape that comes to mind with the needles of your fingertips and then draw it on your skin..
Since this is a job that does not allow even a single mistake, I concentrated on engraving the pattern, even forgetting to breathe..
When I was about to lose my composure under the pressure of not being able to tolerate mistakes by holding my breath and stopping my movements with the breathing method of Ghost Zen Gong, I regained my stability with the mental method of Taoist martial arts..
The martial arts studied so far, including the mind of transformation of the middle way and a thousand ways, are harmonized to complete the Jamun spell..
No matter how much you practice whenever you have time, it is not easy to succeed without making mistakes on your first practice using a spell that has been passed down for tens or hundreds of years..
However, the exquisite balance of enlightenment and various studies through my second life was of great help..
Whoa!
About an hour and a half later, the work I had put so much effort into was finished and I was finally able to let out the breath I had been holding..
My forehead was full of unwiped sweat..
The major's back and other skin were covered with patterns dyed in light green and letters from a forgotten language..
If done incorrectly, it could create a sense of fear, but it was a painting that felt beautiful despite its strangeness..
“Okay then let's go next.”
But this is not the end of everything.
The work was limited to engraving letters..
Joo Seocheon took out the skull prepared in front of the paint..
“Major, just wait a little longer. I'm doing well.”
Since it hurts the skin, it causes pain..
Nevertheless, the major endured it well without a groan..
No matter how heartbroken I was, I apologized and moved on to the next step..
Old texts forgotten over time flowed from his mouth..
Following the spell, a dim light began to flow out little by little from the eye light of the skull in front of him..
Ju Seo-cheon also doesn’t know much about old characters..
I read several books when I was a Hwasan Five Elder, but they were not related to martial arts and were very difficult, so I gave up..
The priest's magic book was based on that torture, and fortunately, successive priests translated it and annotated it according to their times for the sake of future generations..
Advisory magic requires three elements: correct pronunciation, a passed-down spell, and energy..
If you pronounce it incorrectly, it will not be activated, so past priests were able to write it down kindly and follow it..
Paaaat!
As I recited the incantation, the light flowing from my skull became stronger..
It was still an ominous black green light..
‘How cruel is it to use the head of a ancestor when he dies as a tool for witchcraft? They are truly terrible people..’
Even priests with mystical powers are not immortal..
When you get old, you cannot escape time and you die..
And the afterlife was also unusual..
The successor eats the heart of the predecessor, cuts off the remaining brain, and uses it as a wand, a tool for witchcraft..
What was really scary was that it wasn't a belief, but that magic really did help like this..
It's such a cruel act that even Madouise would hold out his tongue..
Cutting off the head of your father and teacher and using it as a tool?.
‘You may be punished from heaven, but people like you don't even deserve to sleep in peace..’
I swallowed my disgust for the priest and recited the last part of the spell..
Hehehe!
The Priest's Last Trace.
Cracks appeared in the skull, and eventually it could not hold up and fell into pieces..
The bone fragment was carried by the wind and disappeared into the forest..
“Phew! It's finally over... … Ugh, uhh?”
Joo Seocheon stopped mumbling and opened his eyes..
‘It's bigger, it's bigger!’
It got bigger. No, I grew up..
The moment I finished safely and turned my eyes to check, I saw a mysterious woman with patterns all over her body sitting in front of me..
Her skin was still reminiscent of pure white snow, and her once-short black hair had grown to her lower back..
The breast fat on the face was no longer visible, and the smooth jaw line was visible..
I couldn't see because my eyes were covered with a cloth..
What really stood out was not the face, but the well-toned body barely visible through the thin fabric..
Although her breasts did not grow much, her body, with smooth straight abs and no flab, looked like a sculpture..
While I was confused for a moment, the ominous black light flowing from the pattern gradually decreased and then disappeared completely..
We used an invisible synthetic paint to keep it from being noticed, and fortunately, it seems to have been successful..
However, the situation that occurred before my eyes was so shocking that I had no time to pay attention to it..
