Episode 219. Blood sword, white sand (1)
Shadows follow at regular intervals.
He had been followed many times before, but this was the first time he had been so skilled.
‘Am I going to reveal myself when I go deeper into the forest?’
Being followed is not a good intention.
If so, all you have to do is subdue whoever your opponent is and find out why.
Jinhyuk moved his lips toward Alice.
“You take the left three. T-Bone takes the one up in the tree.”
The other three on the right and the one I still don’t understand…
“I’ll take care of it.”
This time, strike first before the enemy arrives.
It was a plan aimed at the fact that as much as they were confident in their skills, they would be full of confidence that they would never be caught.
Breathing slows down to the beat of your heart.
A fine crack occurred in the air, and a blue fang and a pair of twin dragon swords appeared from the subspace inventory.
Alice and T-Bone also pulled out their respective arms.
“now!”
With Jinhyeok’s signal.
fault!
Percussion!
Took!
The three flew in different directions.
＊＊＊
Blood sword (血劍) Baeksa (白蛇).
It is called the Shadow of the Dark Emperor and is the leader of the Shadedae, one of the best watering groups in the Heavenly Demon Church.
The first time the Dark Emperor took an interest in a player, Baeksa snorted.
If a player who had just entered the tower was great, how great would it be?
Compared to themselves, who had devoted themselves to cutting flesh and shaving bones, they were insignificant creatures no different from dust.
‘I’ll finish it roughly, and I’ll have to warm up while hunting a few Imperial Sword Masters.’
Itchy body due to long closing.
The knights of the Empire, who had quite usable skills, were no shortage of opponents to satisfy the needs of the shadow band.
Filled with such anticipation, he leisurely followed his target.
Now, if you go a little further, there will be an empty lot suitable for spreading the passing team.
There, he intended to finish the mission at once.
however.
“…omg!”
Suddenly, the target moved in this direction.
fast.
The opponent was perfectly aware of this side’s position.
“Kuk!”
“Respond!”
The White Snake instinctively shouted.
Kakakakang!
Kwaaang!
Shadows on the trees landed on the ground along with dazzling flames.
however.
Despite the surprise attack, no one was seriously injured.
It is truly an elite move.
‘It’s quite right.’
Jinhyeok lightly grabbed his fangs.
I wanted to start by making at least two people unable to fight, but the start is surprisingly difficult.
Even Ellis couldn’t produce any meaningful results.
I don’t know where they came from, but there was no doubt that they were at least a group located at the top of the Moorim.
Of course, the current situation was embarrassing for Shadedae as well.
“Did you… notice that we… were following you?”
The White Snake muttered in disbelief.
“Isn’t it strange that you don’t notice when you’re spraying a lot of bad vibes?”
“…Amazing. The Imperials kept their eyes open while we roamed the capital.”
“That’s probably because you dealt with stupid knights and guards. It’s quite good to hide your flag, but that’s not enough to walk around the palace. Especially for everyone except you.”
“Huh. It sounds like you are above the knights.”
“Wouldn’t it be below?”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
With the exception of Abraham and a few guys, there is no one in the entire empire that could be his opponent right now.
It was thanks to the fact that he had grown through an optimized route.
“…Crazy.”
“Daeju-nim. What is that guy talking about?”
“How long have you been holding a sword? Are you better than knights who only wielded swords from a young age?”
Laughter flowed from the shaded area at the remark, which would have been absurd no matter who heard it.
It was quite easy to notice the tailing, but it was just a great feeling.
Because players had unique abilities and various skills.
You may have a little more ability than others. That was the common thought of all.
but.
It was absurd bullshit to say that even that alone was better than the knights, who could be said to be the core force of the empire, which was a huge power in the middle class.
“You came all the way here because of a guy talking nonsense like that.”
“There is no need for the Lord to step forward. We will solve it neatly on our side.”
“Where, until now, you’ve only dealt with half-hearted guys, but I’ll let you taste the bitterness properly today.”
However, even while everyone laughed at him, Baeksa did not laugh.
“…”
I faced Jinhyeok from the front with cold eyes.
“Sure, I wondered why he was interested… This was the reason.”
The corner of the white snake’s mouth went up.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand toward the shade stand lined up next to him.
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not at a level that you guys can deal with.”
“Dae-dae-lord? What’s that…”
“You mean we can’t deal with that kid?”
Unsurprisingly, there was an angry backlash.
They had been together on numerous missions until now, but this was the first time Baeksa had acted like this.
That would be proof of sincerity.
“Yes. You guys, take care of the little girl and the skull gourd. I’ll take care of that guy.”
Sreung!
Baeksa pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist.
The reddish blade in the form of a saw blade gave off an alert.
And the moment I saw the letter engraved with cancer (暗).
“Dark Emperor…”
Jinhyeok realized where the opponents were sent from.
“Was it like that?”
Jinhyeok murmured softly as if he could finally accept it.
I thought they weren’t normal guys because their skills weren’t too bad.
I didn’t expect it to be sent from there.
In particular, they would have thought that the Heavenly Demon Church, which had just finished closing and was preparing to appear, would send one of their main forces, the Shade Corps.
‘That grandfather is also very consistent.’
Jinhyeok recalled the darkness and immediately smiled.
Numerous strong people I met at the Tower of Trials in the past.
Amhwang was one of the few people Jinhyeok could talk to openly.
In many ways, there was a lot to learn.
However, Baeksa accepted the meaning of that smile completely differently.
“Smile?”
“Oh, sorry. I remembered an old acquaintance for a while.”
“I don’t know how serious the situation is, but you made a profit by selling his name to Lord Yang. It’s safe to say that this is a direct challenge to us.”
Parts Tsutsu!
A red aura surged from the tip of the white snake’s sword.
“I said I would take you safely with you, but if you rebel, you might not be able to unintentionally put matters into your hands.”
red sword steel.
Considering that the colored river is the symbol of the strong…
This guy was definitely a monster that was hard to ignore.
‘I’d say he’s the strongest among the Murim people I’ve ever met.’
but.
The use of ‘color’ is the same here.
Jinhyeok held ‘fangs’ and ‘double dragon swords’ in both hands.
[Trait ‘Grave of the Sword’ is activated!]
Kukukukukuku!
Black strong energy rose from swords of different lengths.
If the guy’s martial arts were rooted in Dark Hwang. The grave of the sword has its roots in the soul of the sword demon.
Madou, who had the strongest and worst talent.
An endless black color began to color the entire forest.
“This is crazy…!”
“What the hell is that river?”
“I can’t believe… How could a player have such power.”
The shadows of the shading table, which were about to deal with Alice and T-Bone, stopped in place for a moment.
It is a feeling of tightness and pressure.
Goosebumps arose all over the body at the bloody energy transmitted through the skin.
“Hahaha! He’s a fun guy. If you get caught in the vicinity and die, I can’t take responsibility, so you guys should get away as much as possible and deal with the rest of them.”
The White Snake exploded its light source.
end it.
Quaang!
The new type of white snake has disappeared.
I don’t even have time to blink an eye.
Baeksa, who narrowed the distance in one breath, swung the red-stained sword diagonally.
Caang!
…light.
The purpose is to attract attention rather than to see the game.
that it is
‘back!’
Jinhyeok reflexively defended the back of his head with his sword.
Wow!
This time, I felt a heavy impact and my body bounced to the other side.
“The reaction speed is fast and the strength is also at a high level. Excellent.”
The White Snake nodded in admiration.
Jinhyeok, on the other hand, sighed with his lips slightly twisted.
“I’m disappointed. How can I say it. Should I say that the first taste is very bland for a Daeju of Shadedae? I expected it because I thought it was hot Maratang, but it tastes like sweet and sour pork 3 hours after the sauce was poured. Only then can the word ‘Shadow of Darkness’ be appropriate. ?”
“what…?”
“Don’t be so upset. Look closely. I’ll tell you how to use the seasoning.”
Jinhyeok gently rotated the sword in both hands.
Whoa!
A black crescent moon appeared along the trail of the sword.
[A black moon night appears!]
It is a crescent moon that seems to swallow even a handful of light.
“This is spicy.”
An ominous mass of strong air flew in front of the White Temple.
“hmm!”
Did you feel that there was an unusual energy?
Baeksa’s eyes grew heavy.
Tendons seemed to bulge out of his temples, and soon he struck the Black Moon head-on.
Aaaaaang!
The heavens and earth shook with a tremendous roar.
The ground cracked like a tortoise’s shell due to the storm of tile and tile.
It is a blow worthy of being called a natural disaster.
“Avoid!”
“Eh, if you get involved, you’ll all die!”
“Much more… You have to get farther away
. ” The shadow crew members who were a little further away shouted and ran away from the two men
’s
range
.
.Just
then.
Took.
The white palm touched the sword of Baeksa.
“Did I say I was impersonating the disciple of Dark Hwang?”
If not.
“How can I explain this?” “No
way …”
I felt his pupils tremble.
There’s no way he didn’t know.
How could he not know?
Dark
Emperor’s unique martial art, Heukcheon Demon Hwanggong (黑天魔皇功).
＊＊＊ ‘
This
is the end.’
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The shock wave that pierced the sword pierced Baeksa’s whole body.
No, I thought it had penetrated.
The turbulent energy gradually disappeared, and instead, red energy began to fill the place.
“…!”
Something It’s strange.
By the time he felt that way, it was already too late.
Puff!
A burning pain pierced his brain.
From a location where it could never come. Something went through Jinhyeok’s right arm and left thigh.
