Episode 491
“This is really amazing…”
Yubaek, standing in front of the pavilion, took a deep breath. The chill felt from inside was excessive. I wondered if someone trapped in a place like that could really survive.
Thinking that this was the power of the perennial ice crystal that had only been passed down in legend, Yubaek felt unreasonably afraid and wanted to run away.
“I wonder if it turns into a block of ice the moment it goes in.”
Cheon Mukwang spat and frowned.
The spit I spit out suddenly turned into ice.
It was still a bearable situation, but if you open the door and go inside, it’s a race against time.
It got to the point where I wondered if I would be able to withstand even a single moment, let alone one day, if I couldn’t properly use my energy to protect my body.
Perhaps no one would come to this place except Ryu Taeseo. The power of the perennial ice crystals had become excessively strong.
The three people looked at each other.
It was worth it.
It is no different from a situation where you are about to end your life.
You may end up sacrificing your life and not be able to achieve what you want. Considering the extreme feeling I am feeling right now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the possibility of that happening was high.
“Are you going to do it?”
Cheon Mukwang glanced at Nam Joo-ryeon and asked.
I don’t know why she was asking this question, but it seemed like she was trying to check her feelings again.
Nam Joo-ryeon smiled.
“If I don’t do it, you won’t do it?”
“No, I’m still going in.”
Cheon Mukwang has already made up his mind.
I can’t do anything about the current situation.
Since I didn’t have the power to kill the unlucky Cheonmuje, I thought it would be best to sacrifice my life to Danwoohyeon if he was going to sacrifice it to that bastard anyway.
Cheon Mukwang took a breath and looked at Yubaek.
He was thinking about something with his eyes tightly closed, and as if he had finished thinking, he slowly opened his eyes again and nodded.
“Then let’s go in.”
Yubaek had no hesitation.
It was as if he thought he was alive for this. There was determination in his expression and tone of voice, so it was a situation where no one could stop him.
The three people nodded at the same time.
Cheon Moo-gwang gathered his courage and grabbed the doorknob. From the moment he caught it
, he began
to increase his energy and protect himself .
“Open…?”
“Open it quickly, you bastard!”
Yubaek raised his voice as he saw Cheon Mu-gwang hesitating and not opening the door. If you’re going to do it, you should get rid of it without hesitation, but it seems like you didn’t like the idea of taking a break.
As the sound rang out with a deep frown, Cheon Moo-gwang smiled and opened the door.
Saaagh!
As soon as the door was opened, extreme guards came pouring out. No matter what kind of person you are, you have no choice but to freeze in an instant. It’s a cold that seems to freeze even your breath and time.
“Come in now. And it will definitely have to close! Otherwise, the guy lying there would freeze to death. haha.”
At Yubaek’s words, Nam Joo-ryun took a deep breath and increased his power even more.
Even though the body was protected, it was impossible to block out the cold that seemed to freeze flesh and bones.
Biting her lip tightly, she followed Yubaek as he entered the room without hesitation.
At the end of the three people’s gaze, there was a huge chunk of ice. It is frozen as it is swinging the sword, and it is not even clear whether it is alive or dead.
At the center was what appeared to be a perennial ice crystal, but it seemed impossible to break it from the outside in any way.
Nam Joo-ryeon swallowed her bitter stomach as she checked it.
There was a time a long time ago when something like this happened and nothing could be done. He also worked hard to break it and hold on to Emperor Cheonmu to prevent something like this from happening again when Dan Woohyeon appeared again.
But those efforts were nothing more than efforts.
Nam Joo-ryeon thought and strengthened her mind.
‘I’ll definitely… take it out for you.’ I gathered my thoughts and clenched my fists.
At that time, the strong chill began to rage even more.
“There is no time, so don’t think about delaying. What we have been given is Il Da-kyung.”
Yubaek looked at the remaining two people and opened his mouth.
There is only so much time to pour everything into it.
If that time passes, even these three will not be able to escape the effects of the perennial ice crystal. Since you will die without being able to achieve what you want, turning into a block of ice, what other death could be worse than that?
Nam Joo-ryeon and Cheon Moo-gwang nodded and stood.
The three people reached out to where Dan Woo-hyeon was trapped and began preparing.
Ready to give everything they have.
There was solemnity in their gaze.
yet.
“Let’s begin.”
The energy of the three people
began to flow.
* * Jang
Sam-tae opened his eyes with pain. The tingling sensation in my bones made me groan.
“Damn it…”
I frowned and looked around.
The moment he saw the still burning bonfire, the cold rushed to him like crazy and tormented him. Are you feeling chilled while looking at the fire?
That means the situation in the Jusan Islands is not good.
But it wasn’t the time to be thinking about anything else.
How long have you been fainting?
When I glance out the window, the moon is still up.
Judging by the signs of the bonfire being extinguished or burnt, it did not seem like he had been unconscious for a long time.
“Miscellaneous things!”
Jang Sam-tae suddenly stood up.
In addition to Cheon Mukwang, Nam Joo-ryeon and Yu Baek are nowhere to be found. Now that you know what they’re trying to do, it’s time to move to stop them.
I held back the pain and quickly stood up.
I hurriedly got dressed, opened the door, and went out. The extreme guards came in to harass him even more, and now it seemed like even his bones would freeze.
Only then did I remember the story Yubaek had told me.
“You said it was Han Si-jin, right?”
After that time, be sure to escape from here.
The warning tickled my mind, but there was no reason to follow it. In the first place, Jang Sam-tae had no intention of moving anywhere unless he took Dan Woo-hyeon with him.
Didn’t I tell you this when I first set out on this journey?
Let’s make sure to take care of someone if someone dies or cannot move.
Jang Sam-tae must keep his words.
For the promise with Dan Woo-hyeon and for Dan So-mi.
Since there was no guarantee that Dan Woo-hyeon was dead, I wanted to take him alive and hope that no one died here.
He forcefully took a step forward and headed toward the shrine.
The further we went there, the more severe the cold got.
A feeling of freezing throughout the body.
I couldn’t even feel whether I was walking or standing still, the mucus flowing out of my nose had frozen before I knew it, and even the saliva in my mouth seemed like it would turn into a block of ice the moment I opened my mouth.
“It’s crazy, really!”
Jang Sam-tae cursed and frowned. I have to take the four of you out as soon as possible. As he thought that everyone was really going to freeze to death, his heart started to become a little more urgent.
Jang Sam-tae, who was now standing in front of the pavilion, took a deep breath.
There were traces of three people moving around, but I had no idea what was happening inside. There was no sound and I couldn’t even feel the presence of anyone.
It bothered him and brought out even more impatience in his heart.
Jang Sam-tae sighed, ‘Whew,’ and made up his mind to open the door.
But at that moment.
“evil?!”
It was impossible to even touch the door.
A tremendous chill came through my arms. It was clear that if he had not lifted his finger, the cold would have swallowed Jang Sam-tae and frozen him.
“Holy shit!”
Jang Sam-tae waved his hand and frowned.
The door must be opened.
But since it was impossible to touch it, I became irritated. I slammed the door with as much force as I could, but Jeongak didn’t budge as if something was guarding it.
It was originally created by Emperor Cheonmu to imprison the god of war.
If it was going to break so easily, I wouldn’t have made it.
Jang Sam-tae, who had no way of knowing such things, had to shiver from the cold in front of the pavilion.
“What should I do?”
You don’t know what’s going on inside. Since I couldn’t tell whether the three people were dead or alive, my heart continued to grow impatient.
There must be some way.
Something that can open this door.
Jang Sam-tae left the palace and began wandering around. The purpose is to find a tool that can open the door. At least if you have a thick cloth, you can wrap your hand and open the door.
While I was wandering around with that thought in mind, I saw a strange shadow on the beach.
“Who is it?”
Did someone else come?
It was not seen as a mere shadow of an animal.
He was moving around and coming towards where Jang Sam-tae was, and as I watched his unstoppable behavior, I felt a sense of uneasiness.
Jang Sam-tae frowned and slowly approached him.
“What show?”
He doesn’t even hide himself and asks openly.
In the first place, the people who can come here are limited. Most of them were probably of a higher level than Jang Sam-tae, so there was no need to hide.
This is because the act of hiding itself is meaningless.
However, despite clearly asking, the other person was approaching without even answering.
The moment he escaped the dark shadows and finally saw the figure revealed through the moonlight, Jang Sam-tae could not close his mouth as if he had been shocked.
Red hair and eyes.
It was so bizarre that I wondered if it could even be considered human. In addition, the energy radiating from his body was also full of amicable feelings, which made me realize that this person did not come with good intentions.
Jang Sam-tae, who is famous for the size of his liver, didn’t even flinch from the spot, as if he couldn’t treat him carelessly this time.
It was impossible to even open my mouth.
And at that moment, I made eye contact with the man who was approaching me.
Even though he saw Jang Sam-tae and felt it from the beginning, he didn’t care. His expression was calm, his walking pace did not stop, and there was no look of warning.
I just walked calmly.
At that time, Jang Sam-tae swallowed dry saliva.
I watched the person getting closer and closer and closed my eyes tightly. Jang Sam-tae slowly opened his eyes, as if thinking of something or as if he had put everything aside, and opened his mouth, looking as if he had made up his mind.
“Who are you?”
Don’t let him come near you.
It was as if he instinctively knew such things. Since I knew that he never came with good intentions, I had to make him stop here.
But the man didn’t even look at Jang Sam-tae.
Before I knew it, it came right in front of me and passed right by.
“Wait a minute… Wow!”
The moment Jang Sam-tae tried to extend his hand towards the man, a fist flew out and hit him in the abdomen without knowing when he had moved. For a moment, darkness came so close to my eyes that my legs gave out and I collapsed.
“Wow!”
The man passed by, looking at Jang Sam-tae, who was vomiting, as if he were seeing a bug.
