Episode 50
Softly!
Everyone around them trembled and swallowed hard.
No one could shake off the swirling fear that did not distinguish between enemy and enemy.
Even the three lords who had gained several times their strength in a short period of time by using the medicine from the banishment area could not even flinch when they saw Dan Woo-hyeon’s divine status before their eyes.
Realizing that the strength he had was nothing more than a struggle, he felt the sky above the sky.
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
…
The three door owners were so scared that they could not come to their senses. Is that why? The energy and blood became entangled and the internal energy began to flow back.
The tremendous pressure they still felt fueled it even further, and they soon had to experience a coin-fed phenomenon.
“Wow!”
“Save me… save me…!”
Everything goes according to nature. These people, who did not hesitate to use dirty tricks just because they wanted to become strong and stand above others, were facing unexpected disasters and losing everything one by one.
Puk puk!
The energy vein exploded and blood spurted out.
It was not the result of someone’s hand, but the result of the body being unable to overcome extreme fear and self-destruction.
“Turn your head.”
At that moment, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice.
Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae urgently turned their heads.
Within.
pop-!
A huge sound was heard and the three bodies exploded. It burst because it could not overcome the force of the regurgitated energy and blood.
Debris scattered in all directions rolled to the front of Namgungso Hye.
Namgung So-hye looked away, nauseated at the disgusting sight.
“Ouch!”
I have seen many corpses so far, but this was the first time I had seen something this horrific. It was worse than the hideously distorted faces of the masked people.
“I’ll leave the rest to you.” Soon Dan Woo-hyeon turned his back.
A man was out of breath as he struggled to move down a mountain path. He had an old knife at his waist and a large baggage on his back.
It contains food and blankets for sleeping.
This man’s name is Sageukjeong.
He was an ordinary person with poor martial arts skills and nothing special.
The place he was walking was none other than a small island called Gunjado, located in the center of Dongdong Lake in the north of Honam.
“Hehehe, it’s so hard.”
Sageukjeong wiped away the sweat and took a deep breath.
I don’t know how many days I’ve stayed here already.
No matter how many times I searched the mountains and checked places where people rarely go, I couldn’t find anything of note.
A lucky hunter.
People called people like Sageukjeong like that.
These people have no desire to systematically learn martial arts and become stronger, and only have a desire to gain talent and sell it or become a master in an instant.
It is no exaggeration to say that although there were many people in the central region who were blinded by such vain desires, there were very few who succeeded.
Sageukjeong flowed to Gunja Island in search of such an opportunity.
“Wow, I heard that people have been able to enter this place for a thousand years now, but people have been able to come in and out for some time now?”
It was a story that was passed down, but it is said that those who once set foot in this place were cursed and none of them survived.
Since no one came back alive, no one even knew what happened inside.
It is said that hundreds of martial arts masters and hundreds of imperial officials came to this island together, but none of them returned.
However, since at some point it turned into just an ordinary island, it was clear that there was some hidden reason behind it.
My heart flutters –
if only I could find it, it could be rejected in an instant.
Sageukjeong smiled and walked and walked.
I tried to scour the island to find clues, but it wasn’t easy.
“What on earth is there…?”
The moment you take a long sigh and take another step.
Deep!
Suddenly, the ground gave way and I started falling down.
“Ugh!”
His body fell helplessly. It felt like I had jumped off an endless cliff.
If you go down to the bottom like this, you will definitely die!
After coming to his senses, Sageukjeong quickly searched his luggage and took out a rope.
Falling off a cliff was a common occurrence while wandering around looking for a clue.
Seeing as the scream didn’t return, it seemed like there was still time until it fell.
Finally, he threw a rope and hooked it on a protruding stone.
puck!
The fall stopped for a moment and I felt great pain, as if the arm holding the rope would break.
However, I never let go of it because I knew it was my lifeline.
“Huff… gasp… gasp…!”
I took a deep breath and gathered my thoughts.
You shouldn’t panic.
The moment I panicked, I had no choice but to die.
What should I do next? I slowly untied the rope.
I was afraid something like this would happen, so I carried a long rope with me, but looking at the depth of this pupil, I thought it might be deeper than the length of the rope.
‘Then you die, right?’
Sageukjeong went downstairs, sweating coldly.
Before I knew it, the rope was almost completely untied and it didn’t seem dark underneath.
Since it was impossible to move up again, Sageukjeong was in a position where it had to gamble.
‘one two-!’
I let go of the rope from my hands.
It was all or nothing.
You can’t keep holding on to this rope anyway, so you either fall or live.
“Are you alive?”
Contrary to Sageukjeong’s expectations of falling for a long time, he was able to hit the floor shortly after.
Judging by the fact that the shock wasn’t that big, it seems like it wasn’t that deep.
Sageukjeong realized that he had survived and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank goodness… but what about this place?”
The surroundings were dark and nothing could be seen.
When I see the words I speak echoing, it appears to be a large pupil, but it never feels like it was created by human power.
I unpacked my baggage and took out the torch.
I lit a fire using a flint and looked around.
“This…?”
My eyes widened at the sight I saw for a moment.
It is true that the pupils are large.
However, as I looked at the traces on the pupil wall, I fell into an illusion that took my breath away.
Something huge was created.
“Scales… traces? snake?”
On the wall, patterns that looked like snake scales were visible here and there. If so, it meant that this was a place where spirits were likely to live.
The traces are quite old and seem to no longer exist, but if it was this large, I thought it must have been something like a dragon before becoming a dragon.
gulp-!
Dry saliva passed over me.
If a guy like this was guarding this island, it was natural that he wouldn’t be able to survive even if someone came in.
It is known that the Imoogi, which is on the verge of becoming a dragon, becomes extremely vicious and devours everything it finds.
Of course, it is just a legend and no one has actually seen it.
However, Sageukjeong has now found traces of that legend.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s awesome! “ This
is awesome!”
Sageukjeong burst out laughing. Just by taking this information and selling it to the Murim Alliance, you could live off your life.
So I walked along the road with a smile on my face.
It was unknown whether the Imoogi had already ascended to heaven or was dead.
From Sageukjeong’s point of view, it was hoped that he would die and at least his bones would remain, but considering that there was no smell, the possibility was slim.
Therefore, we continued to move forward.
The pupils were incredibly wide and long.
Well, since this is where the Imoogi lived, it was natural.
One o’clock, two o’clock.
After walking for quite some time, he stopped dead in his tracks.
I heard the sound of water.
I ran towards that place.
Even so, I missed water after walking for a long time.
Eventually, the sound began to get closer and closer, and Sageukjeong stood still at the sight unfolding before its eyes, unable to move like a stone statue.
Big space.
It was a place that felt different from before.
There was water flowing on one side, and some weeds were growing around it.
Although it was old, there were traces of something being drawn on the walls on all sides, and I wondered if they were sword marks.
However, what stimulates Sageukjeong’s gaze even more than that.
“A… person?”
It was a human body.
Three bodies that appeared to be on the verge of crumbling to nothing were sitting in the center.
They were looking at something in the same posture, with their heads bowed, and I thought that perhaps they were honoring someone here.
As if to prove it, there was a memorial tablet in front of them commemorating the dead.
Sageukjeong swallowed his saliva and slowly approached the place.
One step, two steps.
Can the sound of footsteps create this much tension?
Every time he approached, cold sweat ran down Sageukjeong’s face. The air here was so strange and grotesque.
He eventually arrived at the place, stopped, and looked at the three bodies.
I don’t know who it was, but one person seemed to be a woman and the other two seemed to be men.
Of course, this was inferred from the fact that the clothes were old and would crumble if touched.
He soon turned his head and looked at the memorial tablet.
One person’s name was written there.
But there was something more that caught my eye.
The wall of the pupil visible across from the memorial tablet.
There were large letters that looked like they had been carved with a knife.
I saw the place that used to be in honor of the God of War.
I honor the God of War and praise him.
I vomit
in honor of the God of War .
I shed tears over what was done in honor of the God of War. Let me sleep
in honor of the God of War
.
I sleep here in honor of the God of War.
Taegongjin.
His beginnings, his achievements, his resentment, his inability to keep
the memorial tablet, Samcheon (三天),
Nam Ju-ryeon.
Cheon Mukwang.
“Wh… Martial God?”
I swallowed and looked away.
I looked at the memorial tablet that caught my eye and spit out the name one letter at a time.
“Dan Woo-hyeon.”
