< Episode 90: The main culprit (4) >
It was a gamble even for Mok Gyeong-un.
Since gathering capabilities into one point is strictly the same as turning oneself into a sword I was in doubt as to whether it would be possible to implement this with Igigeoreomgang.
However Mok Gyeong-un whose understanding of energy increased as he overcame the wall thought that this was theoretically possible.
However there were two problems here.
This method had two distinct weaknesses.
‘Condensation of energy.’
The process of gathering all the energy and capabilities of the entire body into one point and concentrating it on a single sword at a distance was not at all easy.
It was possible to unfold it with the body at any time even if it put a strain on the whole body but it took quite a while to send the energy to the sword.
and the second
‘It stands out too much.’
This was the biggest problem.
If the energy is concentrated enough to focus one’s capabilities on one point through this gear sword the probability of the other person noticing it will be extremely high.
This was even more true the higher the level of the master.
Therefore Mok Gyeong-un who could not test this carelessly had no choice but to induce the other person’s senses to be directed only to himself.
Therefore Mokgyeongun created that opportunity.
He continued to fret Yu Mujin through his ultra-fast movements forcing him to exert his full power.
The huge explosion of the nature guardian that was enough to break the ground and the herbalism and techniques unleashed by the two superhumans were filled with a whirlwind of energy causing the surroundings to shake and become barely visible.
However the tree cultivation did not end here.
By creating a situation that the opponent could predict he brought all his capabilities to one point and focused all eyes on himself.
That’s what bait meant.
Yu Mu-jin confident of victory eventually let down his guard and this was the result.
“Ugh….”
Yu Mujin’s face is distorted in pain.
Seeing this Mok Kyung-un stuck out his tongue.
Even though I had a hunch that the power would be weaker than the original since it was a collection of abilities that were spread by concentrating energy with a single sword compared to unfolding it on one’s own.
But I didn’t know that it wouldn’t be able to completely penetrate Lee Ja’s body.
‘Or is it that hard?’
Whatever it was the gamble was successful but it was definitely a difficult tactic to use in many ways.
Anyway the sword pierced the heart so the game was won.
no
“I need to finish it.”
The match ended only when the opponent clearly ran out of breath.
Since it was Mokgyeongun that did not leave any regrets unless a whim occurred Yu Mujin released his hand from the akjeu holding the blade and created a sword of magical energy with the sword.
-Wooow!
That was the moment when Mok Kyung-un was about to cut off his head.
Yu Mu-jin gritted his teeth and then kicked Mo Gyeong-un in the chest.
-puck!
Thanks to this Mo Kyung-yun was thrown backwards and fell and Yu Mu-jin was also pushed back thanks to his kick falling at a high speed.
-thud!
Mok Gyeong-un who landed on the floor like that barely regained his stance and clicked his tongue.
My heart wasn’t like another sword and my own energy wasn’t enough so I was stabbed by a magic sword. I didn’t know I had this much strength left.
But now even that seemed difficult.
Yu Mu-jin who was staggering could not even get up properly.
“Off.”
Even if it were a monster that was beyond the human category having its heart pierced would be so painful that it would be hard to imagine.
Or rather it was a wonder that he was still breathing.
Of course he himself survived after being stabbed in the heart but the author was pierced by not just a simple sword but a magic sword loaded with demonic energy. How is he still holding on?
It didn’t matter.
Even if your life is tough if your head is cut off you will have no choice but to die.
-Sigh! -widely!
The magic sword Akjeu was sucked into Mo Gyeong-un’s hand.
Mok Gyeong-un who caught the evil spirit soon launched a new weapon.
-Pot!
The new form became blurred and the scattered Mu Kyung-un suddenly reached in front of him and tried to cut off Yu Mu-jin’s head with an evil sword.
however
-Park!
Mo Gyeong-un who was wielding an instrument loaded with a black sword stopped it midway.
In the aftermath a large claw-shaped sword mark appeared about 10 inches outward in the direction in which the sword was swung.
-Kwakwakwauk!
It was evidence that he swung his sword with all his might to cut off the head of Yu Mu-jin who was the Buddha himself.
-Gulp!
Yu Mujin swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
Perhaps it was because of his innate boldness he did not close his eyes but the moment he became aware of his death he couldn’t help but feel nervous without even realizing it.
Then Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“What did you just say?”
“….”
Hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s question Yu Mu-jin stared at him.
Could it be that his words stopped his sword?
I was puzzled but Mok Kyung-un asked again.
“What did you say?”
-Sigh!
The sad edge of the sword touched the skin of his neck.
The sharp black blade of the sword seemed ready to cut off his head at any moment.
Yu Mu-jin who was not afraid of this but was curious opened his mouth.
“Haa…haa…I was wondering what kind of relationship you had with the Three-Eyed Man.”
His answer caught Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
He seemed to have seen the shape of Iza’s mouth clearly.
It was Mok Gyeong-un who read through lip reading what he was muttering with a look of complete incomprehension as he stared at the sword that had pierced his heart.
“Haa…haa…is it really because of these words that you…cough…stopped?”
“The Three-Eyed One you mentioned… are you referring to the being with the third eye on its forehead?”
Yu Mujin frowned at this question.
How does he know about the three-eyed man his father mentioned?
So was your guess right?
“I guess it was really clucking… It must have had something to do with the Three-Eyed Man. “Otherwise it would hurt like this… ugh.”
-Shoooooo!
Before he could finish his sentence steam flowed out of Yu Mujin’s body and his black body gradually turned red.
At the same time Yu Mujin continued to vomit blood.
“Kwaek!”
The golden ring on Yu Mu-jin’s right wrist who was coughing up blood turned.
-Together!
The number on the turn key rose quickly and returned to ten.
Then the steam stopped coming from Yu Mujin’s body and his face became pale.
‘Was the energy forcibly sealed?’
Mok Gyeong-un guessed that as he looked at Yu Mu-jin’s right arm Hwan.
As Lee Ja’s momentum weakened Hwan seemed to be suppressing his energy as if he was waiting.
Yu Mu-jin who had finally returned to his human form raised his head with difficulty his face even more distressed.
My breathing is so rough that I feel like I will run out of breath at any moment.
‘Hmm.’
For a split second Mok Kyung-un was troubled.
Whether or not he should save Yu Mujin and hear something he knows about the Three Eyes.
However this person was a very annoying opponent.
He too was quite exhausted from fighting with all his might and there was no telling what would happen if he was given even a chance to recover.
-Kill it. rebirth. This guy is too dangerous. Even if he isn’t this monster there will be another opportunity to get information.
The young man urged him to be killed.
She who was inside the wooden doll in Mo Kyung-un’s arms watched the fight closer than anyone else.
That’s why she thought she should never be given any room to recover.
however
“…Let’s listen first.”
-what? You again… Ha!
Cheongryeong clicked his tongue at Mok Gyeong-un’s insistence.
Anyway I couldn’t understand why he was acting so dangerous at a time like this.
At that time Mok Kyung-un waved his hand lightly.
-Sigh!
Then
– Wormwood!
The sword that had been stuck in Yu Mu-jin’s back and piercing his heart was pulled out.
“Turn it off!”
A scream came out of Yu Mujin’s mouth from the pain.
For Yu Mu-jin it was the most extreme pain he had ever felt in his life so he could not help but be in pain.
Because his clan had a natural body they were more resistant to pain than others and thanks to their strong bodies injuries were rare.
It was the same not just outside the body but also inside the body.
Moreover even if it did get injured the wound would heal quickly thanks to its amazing resilience.
However strangely enough this ferocious and dark energy that penetrated my heart and the strange nature of the sword hindered my quick recovery.
‘I can’t breathe…’
The puncture of the heart eventually prevented smooth blood circulation and Yu Mu-jin had no choice but to move closer to death.
It was right then.
-Sssshhhh!
The ferocious energy that had been hindering my recovery soon left my heart.
Although the strange magical nature remained the pierced area began to regenerate albeit slowly as the energy that had most impeded recovery was drained.
And the blood circulates
“Ha!”
Yu Moo-jin let out a rough breath as if his breathing had been blocked.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him.
“…I only adjusted the energy but seeing him breathing again makes me think about my choice.”
“Haa…haa… Magi?”
“yes. “Can you feel the energy leaving your heart?”
Mok Gyeong-un’s words caught Yu Mu-jin’s eyes.
“…Why?”
“By necessity right?”
“necessary? …Could it be because of that three-eyed man? “What is your relationship with the Three-Eyed One?”
Yu Mu-jin suddenly came to his senses and asked Mo Gyeong-un this.
In response Mok Gyeong-un moved the magical energy in Yu Mu-jin’s body.
Yu Moo-jin frowned as the ferocious energy began to move actively again.
“The demon energy has not been removed yet. “It’s next to the heart so you can put it back in.”
“Are you saying the initiative lies with you?”
Mok Gyeong-un raised the corners of his mouth and answered.
“If you understand I hope you will answer my questions obediently.”
“….”
Yu Mu-jin stared at Mo Gyeong-un.
The magic that was still in the sword in my heart was hindering my recovery but it seemed like I could escape from this critical condition if given just a little time.
Therefore it was better for the tomb to follow suit for a while.
“Let’s ask.”
“How do you know about the Three Eyes?”
“…I guess I should say that we have a bit of a bad relationship with our clan.”
“A little bad blood?”
“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but my great-great-grandfather and father fought the three-eyed man with eyes on his forehead.”
‘You fought with the Three Eyes?’
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes became strange at the unexpected answer.
I wondered what their relationship was but if everything from my great-grandfather to my father had fought with Sam-an then I was no different from his enemy.
But then Yu Mujin parted his lips.
“What is your relationship with the Three-Eyed One?”
“I thought you said questions would only be asked from this side.”
“After all you are the one who is in control of my life so you can at least answer this question…”
-Sssshh!
That was before the words were even finished.
A ferocious energy surged into Mujin’s heart threatening to worsen the wounds in his heart that were slowly recovering.
-Park!
“Ugh.”
Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said as Yu Mu-jin clutched his chest.
“It seems like your recovery ability is better than I thought. I guess you didn’t misunderstand that I would be kind enough to let you heal your piercing wound right?”
“Haa…haa… I was hoping so but I guess I shouldn’t have hoped for that.”
“I’m glad you knew.”
-Sssshh!
As his wound worsened again Mo Kyung-un saw his face turn pale and withdrew his demonic energy from his heart.
And then he said it casually.
“Well my relationship with Saman is similar to that.”
“Hehe…Hehe… They’re similar? So does that mean we have a hostile relationship with the Three-Eyed Man?”
“I guess you could say that.”
“But why do you have powers similar to that of the Three-Eyed Man?”
“Similar?”
Mok Kyung-un tilted his head.
What does this mean?
I was puzzled but Yu Mujin said.
“Because of our clan’s natural bodies wounds heal quickly and no scars remain. “But that deformed man named Three-Eyed Park left an indelible scar on his father’s heart.”
“Are you saying the scar hasn’t completely healed?”
“yes.”
In response Mok Kyung-un stroked his chin.
Like death energy which can be said to be the energy of death the magic energy created based on this also has the property of destroying the opponent’s energy.
But does it mean that the Three Eyes are similar to this or have the power to hinder recovery?
If this Three Eyes was the same as the being he knew it could be quite useful information.
but
“So that’s why you suspected it had something to do with the Three Eyes?”
“…Do you think there are many people who have this strange power?”
“Well there is some truth to that. However that may also be the case but that person named Sam-an is related to the death of the person who raised me so even if it is possible to become Marshal Cheolcheon it would be difficult for us to be in the same group.”
“ah….”
Yu Mu-jin was embarrassed when he heard that it was related to the death of the person who raised him.
Then isn’t it almost like a parent?
‘Is it really not related?’
If you killed the person who raised you you would be like an enemy of Cheolcheon as Lee Ja said.
However it was truly a coincidence that they had such similar powers.
However when he thought about it he had the initiative and if he was in the same company as him there was no reason for him to ask questions about the Three-Eyed Man like this so his doubts gradually eased.
Then Mokgyeongun asked him.
“If you know anything else about the Three Eyes please tell me.”
“no.”
“…Nothing?”
“yes.”
“This is all? He said he fought with the Three Eyes so don’t you know why he fought with you or for what purpose?”
“I really don’t know. “It’s just that the Three-Eyed Man invaded the place where our clan was staying and was driven out by his father.”
At these words one of Mo Kyung-un’s eyebrows rose upward.
I thought he might have some useful information but there wasn’t much to the point that he was disappointed.
If this was really all there was no point in further conversation.
“It would be a shame if that was all. “If he had more useful information he could have spared your life in return.”
“…You don’t know that.”
Mok Gyeong-un said to Yu Mu-jin who was not sure with an eerie smile.
“That’s correct. “It interferes a lot with my work.”
-Shudder!
For a moment Yu Moo-jin got goosebumps at the strong malice he felt for the first time.
This is my first time seeing someone like this in my life.
Yu Mu-jin looked at him with concern and said.
“It is said that the Three-Eyed Man may be the enemy of Cheolcheon. Even if that is the case why does he show so much hostility to the party? Are you trying to get rid of the party family?”
“Depending on the situation.”
-closely!
At those words strength went into Yu Mujin’s hands.
Interest is too risky.
He was strong and mighty but if he had such terrifying malice he might really annihilate the Tang family.
Mok Gyeong-un also laughed at the sight of him clenching his fists.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship they have with the party and why they are trying to protect it like this.”
“…He’s a distant relative so it’s not like he’s unrelated.”
“Distant relative?”
“Your distant relative.”
“So you’re saying you’re trying to protect them because they’re like blood relatives?”
“It may be a bit far but do you need any more reason than protecting your family?”
Mok Gyeong-un sighed and laughed at those words.
Then
“iced coffee. Is that so? “Then what do you think about a blood relative who although distant killed someone who was like a family member?”
“…What do you mean by that?”
In response to his reaction Mok Kyung-un spoke in a meaningful voice.
“The person who raised me was descended from one of the branches of the Tang family. But the person who was the head of the Tang family killed that person with an intangible poison.”
‘!!!!!!!’
