Chapter 322
Episode 322 You Didn't Fail.
A ferocious energy emanated from Sobaekta’s body..
I wasn't that angry when I heard that our school doesn't allow you to go to war. Because it was what I expected.
However, I felt indescribably insulted when I was told to wash my face. It really touched my self-esteem..
‘you are that strong?’
The cries of ghosts echoed everywhere, crushing the sword dance with their ears..
Although he was a magician who had not yet achieved great success, he was a great magician..
The Cheonma Defense God was activated and protected Geommugeuk’s body. As the sword dance stood with a relaxed face, Sobaekta increased his strength even more..
‘Are you really that strong?!’
It was really strong. Instead of being pressured by the ears, I started to walk towards Sobaekta with great strides..
“What do you have that's causing all this fuss? It's not about stealing the flag from the back alley gangsters, but what on earth do you have to discuss the unification of the new world and dream of unification of Moorim??”
The sword dance approached Sobaekta..
“I don't think this crazy symbol on your face will lead to victory in the war.?”
The moment a determination flashed through Sobaekta's eyes, another of his cards was overturned..
A bright red energy flowed from both eyes and began to merge with the demonic energy that appeared earlier..
I could see the sword dance in an instant..
‘That energy is not the great magic of heaven.!’
The next moment, the surroundings changed as a red-hot energy attacked the sword dance..
The place where the sword dance was held was not Gyojujeon..
The walls and floors around were trembling as if they were alive. I've been to this place where I felt like I was inside the intestines of an animal..
Yes, the space created by Hwan Yeo, the woman in the flower garden.!
However, it felt different from the space Hwanyeo had created. The colors were different and the shapes were different. I felt both the energy of the Angcheon Great Demon Qi of the Pungcheon Cult leader and the energy of Hwanyeo that I had felt before..
‘Two martial arts combined!’
The combined energy was even more powerful. Of course, the person who combined the two martial arts would be King Hwan..
The reason why Sobaekta felt like something had changed was not because he was subjected to the magic of seophonju. As the two powerful martial arts combined, it affected personality. King Hwan's persuasion and brainwashing must have been added to that..
It is said that King Hwan gave him his martial arts skills to make him stronger.?
you're welcome! If it had that effect, he would have stolen Sobaekta's martial arts and absorbed it himself..
‘The end of this combined martial arts is death..’
Geomgeuk was confident. The person named Hwanwang has already shown this in his life before returning. He is a man who cares only for himself..
In front of this space was the Great Wall with a human face sticking out..
On the other side, someone stuck out his face..
“Teacher Su, I asked you to show me.?”
The face that protruded from behind the thin membrane was Sobaekta. His voice rang out strangely..
“I won't be able to kill you if you've mastered the nine fire magic technique. Instead, you can lock me here forever..”
This is where Moorim Iltong’s confidence comes from. In this powerful martial arts technique that is believed to be capable of trapping even the Demonic Cult's leader,.
Naturally, I was able to find out his last hand as well. If King Hwan taught you martial arts, there would be faith that he would help you. This combined martial arts ability helps even the Hwanwang.?
Now I can understand his excitement and confidence..
“What kind of martial arts is this??”
Sobaekta confidently answered Geommugeuk’s question..
“Angcheonhyeolsul (殃天血令術))!”
He felt a powerful energy that made him feel confident. However, this was no different from taking the unstable stamina booster Gwangbok sold by Sadomaeng earlier..
“Don't you know that there is a price to be paid for becoming strong in this way??”
Sobaekta laughed. I couldn't sense any anxiety from his expression revealed in the swaying curtain..
“Don't you have to pay the price? Those of you who have been complacent and believed only in Guhwamagong! How do you feel? Now you've seen enough of my abilities?”
Geommugeuk had no answer. Sobaekta asked him as he was lost in thought..
“What are you thinking??”
How can I hear about King Hwan from you??
“I was wondering how to get out of here..”
Sobaekta laughed when Geommugeuk pulled out the black magic sword..
“The membrane looks thin, so it seems like it could tear easily..”
Sobaekta, shaking the curtain with his easy smile, never knew..
It is known that a bluish line that can destroy the membrane can be seen in the eyes of a swordsman who has demonstrated blood stabilization and divine eye techniques..
Of course, not all destruction laws were this easy to find. Like the fight against the old soul mazon, there were illusions and hexes that could only be found by overcoming the danger of life and death..
But at least the law of destruction that cuts off the wall of the Great Wall was clearly visible to the eyes of Geommugeuk..
Whoosh!
The black magic sword lightly split the air..
Cheeeeeee profit.
The membrane was torn as if a cloth was torn. Sobaekta, who had been pressing his face against the curtain, poked his head inside..
He was astonished with his eyes wide open. Even the sword dance didn't leave a single scar on his face while cutting the membrane..
“how?”
Geommugeuk put his hand in, grabbed Sobaekta by the collar who was on the other side of the wall, and pulled him in..
Sobaekta was dragged there..
Geommugeuk looked down at him who had fallen on the floor and said coldly:.
“Did you say you can't leave here forever? I am confident that you will be with me for the rest of your life.?”
Sobaekta reflexively cleared the space. I thought they would return to Gyojujeon as the space ran out..
Susssut.
They returned to their original space.
“!”
Sobaekta was surprised..
I memorized the gugyeol that eliminates space and definitely returned to Gyojujeon. But I returned as if I was being dragged back to that space..
I memorized the phrase again. However, the walls and floor only shook and shook, and the created space did not disappear..
‘something is wrong!’
He was inwardly embarrassed. Since learning how to create this space, I have never once failed to escape from it..
His gaze turned to the torn wall..
‘Is it because of that??’
Looking around, I saw that it was similar to the space I had created, but different. The color was different and the feel was different..
‘When I tore that up, something changed.!’
Sobaekta's heart sank with an unknown ominous feeling..
“calm down and try again.”
I tried again at Geommugeuk's words, but the space still did not disappear..
Sobaekta ran to the Great Wall and tried to go back to the place where Geommugeuk had torn it. But behind the torn membrane, a new membrane had formed..
I tried to rip the membrane by injecting true energy, but it only stretched and did nothing..
Sobaekta looked back at the sword dance and shouted..
“You try tearing down that wall again.”
Geommugeuk pulled out his sword and struck it towards the curtain. But the membrane was not torn. No matter how much I stabbed or cut, the membrane only stretched and fluttered..
“How did you tear it earlier??”
“I don't know either. When I saw your face teasing me, I got angry and tore it up. You have to push your face in from the other side to tear it apart.?”
Geommugeuk asked back, but Sobaekta gave no answer. Because he didn't know either.
“I'll be able to get out somehow. I can't go out.?”
Unlike the somewhat leisurely sword dance performance, Sobaekta's fear was growing..
That carefree person doesn't know how scary this place is. If you don't clear the space, you'll starve to death here..
“My energy is being used up.?”
Sobaekta examined his own strength and shook his head..
Geommugeuk sat down against the wall and said.
“That's a good thing. Otherwise, he would have died from depletion of his innate energy. Take a break and try again.”
Geommugeuk’s words are correct. It wasn't a problem that could be solved by getting excited..
Sobaekta calmly looked at the wall. The movement of the wall, which was writhing like an intestine, was slowing down and its color was gradually darkening. the wall was dying.
“I combined a great magic attack like Angcheon Daemaggi with another magic attack, and I thought there would be no side effects.?”
It was like that. Sobaekta believed that there would be no side effects. There hasn't been any until now.
Sobaekta sat down and started eating breakfast. I want to control my mind, fill my inner energy, and try again with a new mind..
When I turned around and opened my eyes, Geommugeuk was looking at the wall..
Sobaekta calmly memorized the phrase to eliminate space again. But it was still a failure.
That was right then..
Rumbling.
Blood started flowing from the walls everywhere..
The blood did not stop flowing from the wall, as if indicating that death was imminent..
Sobaekta looked around in surprise and despaired..
“There's nowhere for the blood to escape.”
Blood began to pool on the floor. If the blood continues to build up like this, you will eventually drown and die..
Dying by drowning in blood in an illusion you created? And that too with the leader of the Demonic Cult.?
Sobaekta was so absurd and dumbfounded that he stood there blankly for a moment..
Then suddenly, fierce hostility arose. Sobaekta increased his strength. Red energy began to form in both of his hands..
“It's all because of you!”
Sobaekta stretched out his hand to unleash his strength towards Geommugeuk, but Geommugeuk was one step faster. He rushed to the shadows and struck a blow..
Powok!
Sobaekta, hit in the chest, flew, hit the wall, and fell to the floor..
Geommugeuk caught him covered in blood, raised him up, and subdued Nae-gong. Before I knew it, the blood was up to my knees..
“Why is it because of me? It's because of you, who couldn't even destroy what you created, but insisted on doing something new..”
Geommugeuk struck Sobaekta in the back of the head without mercy..
“This is your master’s responsibility! Your master said that after returning from meeting with you. Ugh, I should have smacked this crazy guy in the back of the head..”
Sobaekta gritted his teeth. I was angry to the end, but now was not the time to be fighting Geommugeuk. The blood was rising rapidly..
Sobaekta felt fear as he saw the blood welling up. It was the first time I felt the fear of death..
In the midst of this, the sword dance stimulated him..
“If your master had passed on the position of leader, you should have thought about protecting it. What are you going to do when you can't keep the blessings given to you?!”
“luck? What luck??”
The word blessed was an unpleasant word to him..
“Originally, I was the one who would inherit the position of leader.!”
“It's a good thing I inherited it earlier.?”
“Good? At that time, I wasn't ready to become a religious leader yet. It was a position that should have been inherited when he trained further and achieved great success as Angcheon Great Demon Qi. But Master gave me the position of leader and walked away..”
Things buried deep in my heart came out..
“He said that to me. Don't worry because there are many people following you? Tell me not to laugh! Those people follow their master and not me, right? Why don't you know that? Why don't you know that what you say in front of your teacher is different from what you say in front of me?!”
Before I knew it, the blood was rising to my stomach..
“Do you know what I felt like after Master left? Every day was a thorn cushion. Isn't someone trying to take my place? Are you secretly ignoring me? I couldn't sleep well because I was afraid of being assassinated. But what? Even if everyone else says that, you shouldn't say that, right? Without even knowing how I've been.”
I could understand the sword dance. The criticism I felt at first glance from him began with resentment toward his master..
‘He should have put 'thanks' in place of 'because' and persevered and overcome it, but unfortunately he couldn't..
“He was the only one who understood me.”
King Hwan must have dug into his resentment, anger, and fear..
Sobaekta wanted to say this. That person is a hundred times better than the damn master..
“He was said to be the last descendant of the blood religion..”
It's not wrong. After Hwanwang and Hwanyeo, the martial arts of blood religion no longer appeared..
“He said he tried to live a quiet life, but his mind changed when he saw me being abandoned by my teacher and ascending to the position of leader..”
King Hwan would have pretended to be the greatest strength when a person was at their weakest. I would have melted his heart by teaching him the magic arts of the blood religion..
Sobaekta looked at his face in the blood that had now reached his chest. Then, suddenly, using the blood as a mirror, he started drawing the final pattern on his face..
Of the three patterns, it was a weathering done on the face of a dead person. Of course, it wasn't drawn well with blood..
“I wanted to go into battle with the cloth painting that person drew..”
The moment I heard those words, I knew what the sword dance was..
“Could it be that he was a painter at Gyojujeon??”
Sobaekta nodded, probably thinking it was the last time..
“He's the one who taught me how to draw faces..”
It was the moment when it was finally revealed where King Hwan was hiding..
“The person who taught me how to live and how great I am..”
The blood has now reached the bottom of my chin..
‘Am I going to die now??’
Sobaekta suddenly made eye contact with Geommugeuk. There was an unknown joy in Geommugeuk’s clear and deep eyes..
“What are you smiling about? What's so great? You act proud until the end.?”
“Normally, I would show off a lot, but today I held back a lot..”
What followed was even more incomprehensible..
“Your attempt to eliminate space did not fail. I just succeeded.”
“what?”
“Now that I think about it, I will be your priest here..”
“What nonsense??”
“It was only given to me so you can't know..”
The blood came to my face and I had to tiptoe to talk..
“There's a movement your master always makes every time he opens or closes this place..”
Geommugeuk raised his hand out of the blood..
Sobaekta instinctively felt that something was wrong. But that thought was short-lived, and the blood rose to the top of both their faces..
Just as I was being submerged in the blood, Geommugeuk's finger stuck out and snapped..
