[Episode 108: Demon Ship (2)]
The blade of the Namcheon Iron Sword penetrated the exact center of my chest.
It hurts so much.
I need to pull out the sword quickly, but as the water soaks my whole body, the pain gets stronger and I can’t move.
-Woonhwi. If you find it difficult to pull off, use prison!
What Sodamgeom said is correct.
I’ll have to use prison to get him out on his own.
Among the dots of the Seven Star Gate on the back of my hand, the jade shape shimmered with blue light.
-Unhui! Be patient.
The Namcheon Iron Sword heaved and carefully escaped my body.
It escaped, but because it was soaked in water, regeneration was not as fast as before.
It seemed that water was his weakness.
As I was struggling to get up, Sodamgeom’s voice rang out.
-Woonhwi! Look over there.
I raised my head at his question.
In my field of vision, which was clouded with water and vapor from lightning, I saw what I assumed to be the shape of a bastard.
But I couldn’t help but be surprised to see the water vapor slowly disappearing.
-Passsss!
It was coming out of its charred body like a snake shedding its scales.
What was even more surprising was that his bones were not thin.
Sticky and smooth skin appeared, and the muscles gradually swelled, transforming into a well-trained body.
About half of my body was out, but it didn’t seem like I was in a position to watch.
“Cluck cluck!”
I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and gathered my strength.
Then, a red thunderbolt flowed from the body of the Namcheon Iron Sword that was floating in the air.
-Pachichichichik!
‘The 5th second type of heavenly sword lightning (天劍落雷).’
I urgently extended the index paper towards him.
At that moment, the Namcheon Iron Sword, surrounded by dark red lightning, became a lightning strike and rushed towards him.
A thunderbolt with a force that seems as if it will destroy everything.
However, the lightning did not reach the guy and stopped just above his head.
-Wooow!
The Namcheoncheolgeom made no attempt to move, as if it were tied up in a shimmering space.
There seems to be a circular, invisible membrane around it.
I couldn’t get through it.
At that time, the one who had completely taken off his scales waved his hand lightly.
-What?
Then the Namcheon Iron Sword immediately bounced and went through the wall of the cavity.
‘Namcheon!’
It seems like the guy was extremely shocked.
I was sharing the view in my head, but I couldn’t hear any voices and only saw darkness.
-Woonhwi!
Along with Sodamgeom’s shout, someone’s seal was seen right in front of him.
It was the guy who had been in front of the tombstone just a moment ago.
The guy who had completely shed his scales and looked normal was taller than I expected.
‘Skin?’
It was shiny like a snake and had scale-like things attached here and there.
The two eyes had the eyes of a pure white snake, and they were so hideous and ominous that just meeting them gave me goosebumps all over my body.
At that time, he tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth.
“Interesting.”
“what?”
“It may have faded a lot, but the guy who inherited my blood is being taught by a pure bastard.”
‘Do you inherit my blood?’
What kind of bullshit is this?
I thought his words were absurd, but he spoke to me with an expressionless face.
“I guess I have doubts.”
“……What are you talking about?”
Hearing my words, he snorted and turned away.
And he looked at me closely.
Then he opened his mouth again.
“What a shame. “Over dozens of generations, there has never been anyone who has inherited my traits to this extent in a human body.”
It’s hard to understand what this guy is saying.
In that case, I would rather take advantage of this opportunity.
I carefully concentrated all my energy on the test paper.
Suddenly, I cut off his head…
-Chuck!
‘!?’
At that moment my right arm was cut off.
He clicked his tongue and said to me.
“Let’s not do anything useless. “It’s a child.”
Then I looked again at where my left arm was and this time it was cut off at the shoulder.
-Okay!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
I could not help but scream from the pain of having both my arms cut off.
-Woonhwi! Run away!
Sodamgeom’s voice rang in my head.
Seeing that the Seven Stars Gate appears as is even though the right arm is cut off, it seems that the mole on the back of the hand does not simply take over everything.
Then the guy continued talking again.
“I won’t ask twice.”
“Off.”
“Follow me. And become the vanguard of the army I lead, and wash the world with blood.”
“……what?”
What are you talking about?
It was a car that was puzzling.
At that time, I suddenly felt stimulating energies.
Huge shapes creeping up from the water filling the cavity.
Numerous eye lights of various colors, including purple eyes, were visible here and there.
‘wicked?’
They were extraterrestrial beings commonly called monsters.
Although they all had the bodies of snakes, their faces had the appearance of monsters.
Among them, there were people with human faces.
Although it is not as strong as Bonglimgok’s Jaso, it has a large and fierce energy.
-Ooooooooo!
They were looking at him and bowing their heads as if they were attending the king.
I was at a loss for words at that sight.
The forces he spoke of seem to be extraterrestrial beings.
It gives me goosebumps to see so many monsters in a place like this that I have only seen twice in my life.
If this guy and these monsters escape the world, unstoppable tribulation will occur.
I gritted my teeth.
And then I stepped forward toward the splashing water.
-Pachichichichik!
At that moment, dark red thunderbolt flowed through my body into stagnant fresh water.
The lightning is about to spread everywhere
– boom!
When the guy stamped his foot, the water in the radius spurted out and the flow of lightning was cut off.
The way he looks at me is extremely cold.
-Jump, jump, jump!
When the one that came close reached out to me, its body was lifted upward by an unknown force.
It was as if I had been grabbed by the collar and my body was dragged in front of him.
The guy said to me.
“The Cheondun Sword Technique is of no use to me anymore.”
“…….You guy…who the hell are you?”
He answered my question with an expressionless face.
“There are countless titles that call me. “At one time, he was a dragon who wanted to become a human, and at another time, he was said to be the beginning of all sword breeds in the central plains.”
‘The beginning of all sword breeds in the central region?’
At that moment, the name Baekmuja flashed through my mind.
If Master Geomseon was called the best person in the world, Baek Moo-ja was called the beginning of all sword sects.
He was also the person who created the concept of review and inspection.
I was wondering if it could be possible, but he continued talking.
“And he was called the Fire Dragon Jinin, one of the Ten Immortals, and also called the Corrupt Demon Immortal.”
‘Ten lines?’
What Biseon Noong said came to mind.
[So one of our ten Zen stayed behind and made an oath to protect them for generations from generation to generation as requested by the imperial family.] There are eight
Taoists leading the Dohwaseon, including the teacher.
I heard that they were once called the Eight Immortals in the secular world, but I was surprised to hear that they were called the Ten Immortals.
So, does this mean that this person was a member of Dohwaseon?
He took the hand that was behind me and grabbed my chin and said.
“But I no longer want to be tied down to being human. “Do not associate me with those who are greedy, foolish, and harmful to each other.”
-Tingling!
The anger in the guy’s voice and a tremendous amount of murderousness exploded from his entire body.
His life was so ferocious that it was difficult to compare it to any being he had ever encountered.
Living at this level was so intense that ordinary people could not endure it.
“The purists and good men whom you regard as your teachers are nothing more than hypocrites. “They too are just greedy people.”
“…Do not insult your teachers.”
His eyes narrowed as if he was disappointed by my words.
Then he shook his head and said:
“That’s your choice.”
-Aaaah!
The power went into his hands.
I was still maintaining a blood pressure regime, including compliance with brain energy, but my jaw felt like it was going to break apart.
“Then die like a normal human being.”
It was that moment.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Something burst out through the ground right below.
Then, it swallowed the guy who was trying to crush my jaw.
It is none other than
“Jaso!”
It was Inmyeonjaansa Jaso who saved me from Bonglimgok.
At that time, I was worried that he might have died due to exposure to sunlight, but he actually grew bigger than before.
The one that swallowed it made a crying sound at me as if it knew what it was.
-Krrrrrr!
How did this guy know where I was?
There’s no way he’s been following me all this time.
I was just wondering.
At that time, Jaso suddenly roared and twisted his body as if in pain.
-Kaaaaaa!
“Jaso?”
Then, he tore his body apart and walked out.
I looked at Jaso, who was in pain as his body was torn apart, then looked away and said,
“As expected, you inherited my traits properly.”
“You!”
“I’m sorry, so I’ll ask you one more time. Are you willing to follow me and purify the world with blood?”
I spoke firmly to the guy who made the ridiculous suggestion.
“Crazy guy.”
The guy snorted and stretched out his hand to me.
As if further conversation was meaningless, he stretched out his hand and hot heat flowed out.
At that moment, I heard someone’s voice in my head.
-Unhwi.
The owner of that voice was none other than Namcheon Cheolgeom.
It flew so far away that it only seemed dark, but I could see its vision.
He approached me at great speed and spoke to me.
-I wondered if it would fulfill its destiny as a sword as it was neglected for a long time after its previous owner died.
‘……What are you talking about?’
-But thanks to you, I can now play my role as a sword again.
‘Namcheon?’
-I was able to avenge my previous owner, and I was very happy with all the time I had with you.
-Pot!
A guy jumped out of the water.
Then they rushed towards the guy who was reaching out for me.
He waved his hand as if it were the same, but surprisingly, the Namcheoncheolgeom did not fly away and held firm.
The guy frowned.
The body of the Namcheon Iron Sword was gradually becoming covered with blue light.
-Pachik!
At that moment, the thing tore through the shimmering space and flew right in front of him.
He grabbed this Namcheon Iron Sword with his red-hot hands.
-Chiiiiii!
The sword body, which was shimmering in blue light, turned red when it touched the guy’s hand.
I heard Namcheoncheolgeom’s scream in my head.
I rushed forward and shouted at the guy.
“stop!”
However, Namcheoncheolgeom was filled with the will to stab him no matter what.
Right now, my physical condition is so messed up that I can’t properly handle the power of the Seven Stars and Gentlemen, and I don’t know what’s going on.
However, no matter how hard I tried, it was an enemy I could not even hurt.
-Blah blah blah!
A cracking sound came from the Namcheon Iron Sword.
There was a crack in the red-hot sword body.
-Farewell…. U…Woonhwi….make sure…to survive…..Nam….Ah….
-Chaenggeulang!
Before the guy could even finish speaking, the sword body was shattered into pieces.
“Namcheooooooo!”
I couldn’t breathe properly while watching that.
I feel like my heart is being torn apart.
At that time, Jaso, who was writhing in pain as his stomach was torn open, suddenly lunged at me and swallowed me with his mouth.
“Do you think you’ll miss it?”
When he held out his hand, the broken blades of the Namcheon Iron Sword penetrated through my body and were soon embedded in my entire body.
-Pupupupupup!
The pain was indescribable, but only one thing came to mind.
‘Namcheon…’
They said that if the sword spirit is destroyed, death will come to the sword as well.
As the saying goes, Namcheoncheolgeom was no longer alive.
At that time, Jaso’s body shook.
-with a plop!
If you can feel the water, it looks like it jumped into the water.
But this wasn’t the end.
A sharp feeling of anticipation radiated out and penetrated my whole body indiscriminately, including the character and its mouth.
-Pupupupupup!
“Off!”
Even though I was soaked in water, I gradually lost consciousness as it penetrated the urine blood throughout my body.
Water rises into the gap between the cracked mouth of the perilla.
Both arms were cut off, the chest was pierced, and there were bloody wounds.
It was a state in which he could never survive.
-Bubble!
Jaso, too, seemed to have been fatally injured and his body seemed to be sinking lower and lower.
He and I were sinking to the depths of Taeho Lake.
-Woonhwi! Wake! Unhwi!
Sodamgeom’s voice rang in my head.
But I couldn’t come to my senses anymore.
Is this how I die?
I experienced death before returning, but even so, dying seems scary and terrifying.
There are still many reasons to live…
-Unhwi. do not die! Don’t die! What will I do if you die?
Sodamgeom’s howling sound gradually fades.
After returning, my final destination was the bottom of Taeho Lake.
afraid. Sodam.
In my head, I could faintly hear Sodamgeom’s voice.
-Come to your senses! Don’t die…don’t die…what should I do as I just watch you die like this without being able to do anything?
It was a moment when my vision became increasingly black and I was losing consciousness.
-Nooooo!
-Wooow!
At that moment, blue light emanated from the sword body of Sodam Sword, which was crying.
Then, the light soon led to me.
* * *
The world, which had been covered in darkness just moments ago, shimmered with bright light.
‘What is this?’
Am I really dead?
While I was puzzled, someone was sitting in front of me, holding a sword.
He who has the appearance of a immortal is none other than
“Master!”
It was Master Geomseon.
Master’s appearance was different from what I saw on the Dohwaseon.
Rather, it was in the same shape as it was found in the second inspection record.
Master looked at me and said with a bitter smile.
-I was hoping not to get the third one, but it ended up happening like this.
