Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 106

< Episode 30: Master of Assassination (2) >

It is said in the Mountain and Sea Classics:

There are countless imamangryangs in heaven and earth that humans cannot see.

Among such dualities there are those located in a high-dimensional realm that not only humans but even they can never access.

It is a spirit beast that has lived for a long time.

‘receipt?’

Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes were bright as he looked at the white-haired middle-aged man.

That is to say if a spirit beast is excluded from mythology it is a being called a legend in the system of Immaengryang.

But what on earth is this?

On the outside it was no different from a human being not a spirit beast.

-…Sentient beings are not objects that can be fought.

The young man spoke in a whispering voice.

His tone of voice was tense and stiff unlike usual.

She who had always appeared arrogant and overbearing was feeling fear as she looked at the being in front of her.

‘…Didn’t it absorb all the power?’

Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.

She thought she was in a weakened state because she had absorbed all the ominous energy coming from the crack in the wooden box.

But it radiates such incredible energy.

At that time a middle-aged man with white hair haughtily brushed his hair and opened his mouth.

-Are you shaking? human being.

“well.”

I don’t tremble.

In the first place Mok-Gyeong-Woon does not attach much importance to or fear death.

However the tension caused by the obvious difference in power was unavoidable.

“You have a lot of power even though you were sealed.”

-Are you full of energy? Foot.

The white-haired middle-aged man snorted.

Then he raised his hand clenched and unclenched his fist and said:

-Even though it has been encased in this scroll for thousands of years and has become weak do you think that insignificant insects like you can touch it?

‘worm?’

Mo Kyung-un frowned slightly.

Rather than feeling particularly bad she just grasped the reality of the fact that the entity in front of her was nothing more than an insect as the standard by which she judged herself.

‘To this person I am nothing more than a bug.’

It’s hard to deny.

The yogi that this person exuded was at a level that could not be fathomed.

Is there another sky above the sky?

If it was in a weakened state I couldn’t imagine how strong this monster would be if it regained its full strength.

No this could have been close to a disaster.

It was right then.

-Sigh!

A middle-aged man with white hair held out his hand.

at that moment

-Park!

The hem of Mo Qingyun’s chest was torn and two wooden dolls came out.

‘oh?’

Mok Gyeong-un hurriedly stretched out his hand and opened the ceremony.

However there was no way he could withstand the overwhelming force of Yogi’s pull.

Even after the dressing ceremony the two wooden dolls flew away without stopping at all and landed in the hands of a middle-aged man with white hair.

-Lord lord!

-Pfft.

Inside it were the green spirits Gyu So-ha and Cheong-ryeong.

Even though it was inside a wooden doll the spirit was so strong that even the green spirit seemed to be afraid.

Mo Kyung-un spoke calmly.

“You’re causing trouble. “Can you return it?”

-Hmm. You are an unusual human being. I see a living person taking these evil spirits with him.

-….

-….

Normally he would have been enraged but Cheongnyeong did not open his mouth.

Perhaps he had provoked the guy for no reason and then became cautious because he didn’t know what kind of trouble would happen.

Cheongryeong was very embarrassed by this situation.

‘It’s the worst.’

Unlike vengeful spirits which are somewhat different from the concept of dying and becoming a spirit body and consuming strength imaemangryang is rapidly weakened when it consumes yogi (妖氣).

In that respect I thought that if it had been sealed for a long time it would have become very weak.

But who would have imagined that what was sealed in a wooden box like this would be a spirit beast?

‘What should I do?’

A spirit beast that has reached a high level where it can even transform into a human form could be said to have reached a realm similar to that of a sage who has attained enlightenment.

No matter how weak he was it was far beyond what even he could handle.

‘Is this the end?…’

She felt her feelings of despair.

Can it work this way even without luck?

She thought she had barely a chance to appease her resentment but she ended up meeting something like a disaster in a place like this.

‘Mokgyeongun…’

Normally she would have had high hopes for his clever mind.

However the opponent is very bad.

Because he was a non-human being and had lived for such a long time it was difficult to get over this situation with just a few words.

Maybe he was feeling fear for the first time in his life.

To the absolute being I meet for the first time.

It was right then.

-I was hungry at the moment so thank you for bringing me a meal.

“yes?”

-iced coffee.

With those words the white-haired middle-aged man stuffed the wooden doll with Cheongryeong and Gyu So-ha sealed into its mouth.

It was that moment.

-Let’s go!

The wooden doll that was entering his mouth broke and soon the spirit came out of it at great speed and flew forward holding Kyu Soha’s wooden doll in his hand.

however

-Park!

-You seem to have quite a bit of spiritual power despite being an evil spirit.

The white-haired middle-aged man grabbed her by the legs and immediately threw her to the floor.

She was not able to feel physical pain but for some reason she let out a pained voice when her bandage hit the floor.

-Ugh!

-This position is the master of assassination. It is a being born from the gathering of wandering thoughts. Offer up that spiritual power for your master. Hueup.

-Ssssshhhh!

As soon as those words were finished something like a red haze rose from the body of the young man who was lying on the floor and was sucked into the mouth of a white-haired middle-aged man.

Then she screamed as if she was in pain.

-Ahhhh!

It was right then.

-Park!

Mok Gyeong-un launched his sword and immediately stabbed the sword paper with the fortune telling between the eyes of a white-haired middle-aged man.

I was trying to catch you off guard.

-Park!

At that moment a middle-aged man with white hair lightly grabbed Mo Kyung-un’s right wrist.

Then he pretended to lightly lift it upwards.

-bang!

Mo Gyeong-un’s body penetrated nearly half the ceiling of the cave and soon fell to the floor.

-thud!

“Cluck cluck!”

Blood coughed out from Mo Kyung-un’s mouth as he fell to the floor.

He shielded himself for a moment but the previous blow cracked some of his bones and left him with internal injuries.

-Rebirth!

“Cough… Cluck… I did this wrong… Cough… I got caught.”

Mok Gyeong-un shook his head as if it was absurd.

Looking down at him like this a strange look appeared in the white-haired middle-aged man’s eyes.

-You are a unique person.

Even though I felt his pain I felt puzzled by his smiling face.

A normal human being would be terrified in a situation like this but if you look at this guy’s face it’s not like that at all.

In response the white-haired middle-aged man nodded and pretended to lift it.

Then

-floating!

Mok Gyeong-un’s body which had been lying on the floor rose into the air.

“ah?”

It was clearly visible to Mo Kyung-un’s eyes.

The tremendous energy flowing from a white-haired middle-aged man was surrounding him and lifting him up.

-human being. I want to see the fear spread across your face.

The white-haired middle-aged man raised the corner of his mouth wryly and tried to place his hand on Mok Gyeong-un’s shoulder.

-Chrrrrrrrr!

It was right then.

A chain made of spiritual power shot out from the floor and instantly restrained the limbs and body of the white-haired middle-aged man.

The chain moved like a snake and wrapped around the middle-aged man’s neck.

‘Gyusoha?’

This was the power of the green spirit Gyu So-ha.

Gyu Soha shouted.

-Let go of the master! Otherwise….

-Passsssss!

That was before the words were even finished.

The chains surrounding the white-haired middle-aged man’s body shattered in an instant scattering like ashes.

-!?

The chains of the spiritual body were broken so easily that it was pointless.

Gyu So-ha’s eyes were shaking like crazy.

-You’re a mischievous spirit with some talents. However you will have to pay the price for disturbing the royal body of the throne.

-Sigh! widely!

The white-haired middle-aged man snapped his fingers at Gyu So-ha.

at that moment

-Papang!

Gyu Soha’s arms exploded and disappeared.

As the arm made of spirit body was exploded by the spirit a scream came out of Gyu So-ha’s mouth.

-Ahhhh!

It seemed like he was in tremendous pain.

‘This…’

Cheongnyeong who was lying on the floor with difficulty after being absorbed by spiritual energy was dispirited.

Even though it was a spirit beast it was so overwhelmingly strong that it made you wonder if it had really been sealed and had just been released.

As he said no matter how hard they struggled they might be at the level of an insect flapping its wings.

‘…Is there any hope even if I use that?’

However if things continue like this everyone will die.

If that’s the case try everything you can…

That was the car.

“no. “What’s going on?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the sound of a voice coming from somewhere.

It was outside this small cavity.

Outside the red line Yang Muwon Danju the reporter was standing with a surprised face.

He couldn’t believe his eyes at the strange sight happening inside the cave.

‘Who is that white-haired middle-aged man?’

Even so he was startled by the loud noise and jumped up.

The epicenter of the sound was none other than that place.

He repeatedly warned me not to go in like that but in the end I came running after thinking that he had caused an accident. What on earth is going on?

‘Who on earth is that guy?’

Seeing that Mok-gyeong-un who had suffered internal injuries was floating in the air it was clearly an object in the air.

A person who could perform such a high-level technique could only have been at the level of the Five Kings or higher within the Heaven and Earth Council.

As a result Yang Mu-won was at a loss as to what to do.

How could a money-saving expert like that break into this place and do something like this?

It was while I was doing it.

-okay. I kept wanting to eat you too.

-Sigh!

A middle-aged man with white hair nodded towards Danju Yang Muwon.

Yang Moo-won Dan-ju who was surprised at the moment raised his true spirit and took a nose-to-tail stance.

But nothing happened.

‘what?’

As I was doing this a middle-aged man with white hair raised an eyebrow looked at the red line drawn on the floor and muttered.

-Did Saman do it?

With those words he walked towards the red line leaving Mokgyeongun in the air.

“Please stop.”

Yang Muwon Danju shouted after seeing him coming towards him.

Of course there was no way the white-haired middle-aged man would stop.

A middle-aged man with white hair kept walking and tried to pass the red line drawn on the floor.

at that moment

-Paaaaaaaaa!

With strong pressure the space bent and soon the body of a white-haired middle-aged man was thrown backwards breaking the bookshelf inside.

-Quaang!

Then Mok Gyeong-un’s body which was restrained in the air fell to the floor.

-widely!

‘what?’

I don’t know what’s going on but the white-haired middle-aged man whom Cheongryeong called Youngsu failed to pass the red line and was thrown backwards.

then

“Get out!”

Now was the opportunity.

As if waiting for that cry Cheongnyeong and his two arms exploded and flew out of Gyu-so-ha.

As spiritual beings their movements were much faster than Mo Qingyun’s.

I was wondering if I might be caught on a red line.

-grasp!

The two ghosts passed the line without difficulty.

It was at that very moment that Mok Gyeong-un also opened his light attack and was about to cross the line.

-Paaaaaaaaaaa!

Mo Kyung-un’s body stopped right in front of his nose.

-Rebirth!

Cheongnyeong shouted with a puzzled expression.

‘Tsk.’

Mok Kyung-un struggled to turn his head.

There between the broken and fallen bookcases a middle-aged man with white hair was lifting his body up with his hands outstretched.

-Where are you trying to go?

“Haha… haha… You are such an awkward person.”

-The difficult thing is this position. Who would have thought that a sign of ruin not even a good person would have this much power.

A middle-aged man with white hair stuck out his tongue as he looked at the red line.

He was released from the seal and was displeased that he had not been able to pass through it and was thrown out.

-Rebirth!

At that time I saw Cheongryeong hesitating outside the red line and then trying to reach inside.

Mok Gyeong-un hurriedly shook his head.

In the current situation once he gets inside he gets caught like he is.

As I was doing this a middle-aged man with white hair licked his lips and spoke regretfully.

-Your judgment of the situation is good. If I had been a little late I would have eaten that ghost.

Cheongryeong who stopped reaching out his hand at those words was shocked.

Mok Gyeong-un’s judgment was right.

He said that the moment he stretched out his hand the bastard would have dragged him into it.

However it was impossible to leave Mok Gyeong-un in there like this.

If Mokgyeongun loses his life they too will be destroyed due to the fate of the food spirit.

‘Damn it!’

It was really the worst situation.

While doing so Mok Kyung-un glanced at the red line on the floor.

I didn’t notice it from the outside but the red line on the floor ran all over this small cavity.

As if to prevent him from escaping.

Mok Gyeong-un looked at the white-haired middle-aged man and opened his mouth.

“Is the offer you made earlier still valid?”
