Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 171

< Episode 50 Jo Tae-cheong (2) >

-Paang! Paang!

Toru’s hooves were blocked by an invisible membrane.

‘What is this?’

The main force is felt in the membrane.

It was then.

“Hey!”

‘!?’

A pretty short-haired girl dressed as a maid hurriedly spoke while gesturing to Mok Gyeong-un with a hand sign in one of her hands.

“Follow me right now!”

“who?”

“Is now the time to question that? “Hurry!”

Hearing the girl’s words Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.

The girl’s strength was almost comparable to that of Bangwol.

But why is this girl dressed like this?

Her puzzled neck tiller looked up at her.

-Kwooooooo!

-Paang! Paang!

Toru the beast roared and tried to pierce the membrane with his hooves.

The neck tiller clicked her tongue inside her.

The situation had already escalated so it seemed wrong to kill him.

If there is this much commotion people around will come and there will be chaos sooner or later.

Mokgyeongun spoke to the girl.

“all right. But where are you asking me to follow you?”

At these words the girl held her hand sign with one hand and took something out of her waistband with the other hand.

She put it on her finger and then she spun it in the air.

-Sssssss!

‘ah?’

Then surprisingly something like smoke flowed out of the air creating something like a round entrance.

“I can’t keep it that long. “Hurry up.”

With those words the girl entered the round entrance first.

Mo Kyung-un was also puzzled by this and then she followed the girl into the place.

-Sleep!

Then the smoke dispersed and the entrance disappeared.

She wasn’t long with him before a red haze rose from the floor of the first floor and then grains of sand shot upward all at once filling the area where Mok-gyeong-un was.

-Papa papapa pap!

* * *

An irritated voice came out of the mouth of Jo Tae-cheong who was making a hand sign with her right hand.

“Look at this guy?”

The voice was quite hoarse.

Empress Jo Tae-cheong immediately shook her head and clicked her tongue.

He dared to make her pay for targeting him but before he knew it he was gone.

‘…Was it radiation?’

For a moment a significant force was felt below.

This level of skill could be considered to be almost Bangwol’s level.

Could it be that this was also witchcraft?

-Sigh!

Jo Tae-cheong touched the back of his neck.

Feeling of a foreign body in the palm of your hand.

I could feel the blood flowing down my palm.

-Wow!

Jo Tae-cheong gritted his teeth and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“If I hadn’t switched you would have just been decapitated.”

Jo Tae-cheong’s body trembled at his words.

It’s like reacting to anger.

Jo Tae-cheong snorted and looked at the hole in the floor.

‘Is it him?’

He was so focused on protecting himself that he couldn’t really see the guy’s face.

Jo Tae-cheong looked at the hole and was dumbfounded.

“under….”

What the hell is this guy?

Although it is said that he was freed from the time-space law due to the variable of a vengeful spirit at the old shrine he would not have been able to accurately perceive what had happened because he had been deprived of all senses and consciousness before that.

But you came straight here?

Could it be that he was conscious?

‘Or… did you notice it because of that vengeful spirit?’

Whatever it was what was certain was that the bastard was aware of what had happened at the old shrine and had targeted him.

Then he has to find this guy quickly.

A normal guy wouldn’t be so quick to target him but seeing him do such a bold thing makes him quite annoying.

Then someone hurriedly ran up the stairs and appeared.

“I hope you’re okay….”

He was a guard warrior guarding the stairs leading to the third floor.

The warrior who came up in surprise at the sudden roar could not hide his bewilderment when he saw Jo Tae-cheong’s face.

“What is that on your forehead…”

“Oh my… I saw it.”

“yes?”

The words were almost over.

-Poof!

“Oops!”

Something sharp came out through the border warrior’s chest.

Musa whose chest was pierced gasped with eyes wide as if they were torn apart and then lowered his head as if he had run out of strength.

Jo Tae-cheong who was looking at him coldly then looked into space and said.

“Find him. “He couldn’t have gotten far.”

-Flutter!

As soon as the name fell the shadow that had been cast around disappeared along with the sound of huge wings flapping.

* * *

-Sleep!

‘hmm?’

Mok Gyeong-un was puzzled as he watched the entrance disappear like smoke.

He had learned many magic techniques but this was his first time using this technique.

I was amazed but the girl behind me spoke.

“What are you?”

Mok Gyeong-un turned his head at that question.

A short-haired girl dressed as a maid was standing with her arms crossed and wide-eyed as if she were dumbfounded.

Mok Kyung-un looked at his surroundings.

“Where?”

“It’s the kitchen.”

Even if I don’t answer I think I know that this is the kitchen.

Anyone could tell that this place was a kitchen with iron pots hanging on every wall in the furnace and kitchenware.

“yes. “I see.”

“Is that all it is? Even after experiencing the coastal waters… no. This isn’t important. Before that I asked about your identity… Umm. “By the way you are very handsome aren’t you?”

“yes?”

Mok Gyeong-un tilted her head at the girl’s incoherent words.

Then the girl came up to her neck and stared at her face without hesitation.

-What? Who is this sentient being?

She said it as if she didn’t like something about Cheongnyeong.

Mo Gyeong-un looked puzzled and asked.

“Are you going to keep looking at me like that?”

“It’s not like I’m going to wear it out just by looking at it so can I just look at it a little?”

“….”

Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders at his overly proud attitude.

Then she concentrated her energy and checked for signs of people approaching.

But there was no sign of anything around.

Then the girl tasted her again and said

“Ahh. it’s a shame. It’s a shame. “Her facial features are not perfect and her life will be short-lived.”

“yes?”

“It’s a short-lived eight-character poem. I’m afraid my neck will be broken or cut off. “If it wasn’t for that I’d just feel like a bastard.”

With those words the girl giggled covering her flushed face with both hands as if she was embarrassed.

Cheongnyeong was irritated by her unpredictable attitude.

-There’s something I don’t like about this sentient being.

-Is that so?

In Mo Kyung-un’s eyes she just seemed like a girl with a bubbly personality.

Of course she was a girl although she had a rather curvaceous body.

Her face is quite cute and at first glance she looks like she is around 17 or 18 years old.

She seemed to be about the same age as herself.

Then the girl spoke.

“Anyway what are you? “If you look at his clothes he doesn’t seem to be a person from the original assassin but just an ordinary person. Why did he target you?”

“What if that is it?”

“That? Ah… how should I explain this? “It’s difficult to explain something like this to the general public because it’s really annoying and they don’t really believe it.”

“Just tell me and I’ll take care of it.”

“It’s going to be difficult. “No ordinary person can accept this.”

“If I couldn’t accept it I wouldn’t have had any reason to follow you through that smoke-filled entrance just now.”

“ah! I see? “What did you believe in and follow me?”

“….”

Didn’t you tell me to follow you?

She seemed to have a very volatile personality.

Mok Kyung-un said this.

“The outfit is that of a maid and as for the technique I mentioned earlier is it by any chance an emancipation?”

“uh? “I guess you’re not an ordinary person?”

Mok Kyung-un smiled and answered her question.

“I know a little bit.”

“A little? You’re only at the entry level and it targeted you?”

“If that’s the case do you mean the same person I mentioned earlier?”

“…It’s not a little bit. “You are also from this branch right?”

“This branch?”

“yes. This lineage. “Seeing as it was targeting you it doesn’t come from Wonsalgak does it?”

Although her tone was difficult to understand Mok Kyung-un was able to guess two facts from this question.

This lineage seems to refer to those who practice magic.

And she doesn’t seem to be from Wonsalgak.

If that were the case she wouldn’t have helped herself in the previous situation.

Mok Gyeong-un nodded her head and said.

“yes. no.”

Strictly speaking she could be said to be from here because she was a disciple of Jo Eui-gong the current head of the deceased Wonsalgak.

But in this atmosphere it seemed like she was rather wary of this girl.

Mokgyeongun’s response was well-suited.

She said as the girl let out her sigh of relief.

“phew. thank god. Even if that wasn’t the case I was worried that I might have gotten involved in an internal dispute at Wonsalgak.”

“Is that so? “That’s not it.”

“It seemed like it. “Otherwise there’s no way that cursed three-eyed bastard would try to kill you.”

“Three eyes?”

Mok Kyung-un questioned her words.

Did she just say Three Eyes?

In response to Mok Gyeong-un’s question the girl nodded her head and said.

“yes. Three eyes. “The Red Falling Star the two-faced dragon of Mount Kunlun is also a food spirit controlled by that three-eyed guy right?”

‘!?’

Mok Kyung-un’s eyes narrowed at her words.

She just said that she was the one who tried to kill her. Isn’t it Jo Tae-cheong’s Three Eyes?

Mok Gyeong-un suddenly remembered the incident at Sihyeolgok Bigo.

[So what on earth is the term ‘three eyes’?]

-That’s literally it. Three-eyed. It is a strange object born in a human womb. There is a story that when it is born it is in ruins.

[Mango?]

-But it’s really fun. Even in the ancient times the Three Eyes would have been killed before they could survive even a single day after being born.

[I don’t know what you’re talking about but are you saying that the three-eyed robber placed you here?]

-okay. I don’t know what he did but no one recognized him after he left.

It was a conversation I had with the monster raccoon that was sealed in that scroll.

So does this mean that Bangil Jo Tae-cheong the great disciple of former Wonsalgak master In Seo-ok is the one who imprisoned the monster raccoon with tremendous magical power there?

At that time Cheongnyeong’s voice rang in my ears.

-…Rebirth. If what this girl says is true it looks like she touched a bigger deal than I thought.

-leading figure?

-A spirit beast. Anyone with enough radiation to seal that spirit beast is definitely not an ordinary person. At that level it is a monster that can be called Bangsin the pinnacle of radiation.

-Bangsin?

Masters are given titles depending on their main strength or skill level.

Shinilwolgimyosu (神日月技杳輸).

A title given only to the top six people.

That is the title of God.

There were at most six people in the whole of the Central Plains who received this title and they were the six-pointed gods.

‘Bangsin…’

Has the radiant named Jo Tae-cheong really reached the state of Bangsin as Cheong-ryeong said?

Mok Gyeong-un who was puzzled asked the girl.

“Has the person with the Three Eyes you mentioned reached the state of Bangsin?”

“What are you talking about?”

At that question the girl suddenly pursed her lips and spoke.

Why am I reacting like this?

“How can a piece of this type which is no different from an imamangryang be put on the same level as our teacher?”

“yes?”

One of Mo Qingyun’s eyebrows rose.

Is it true that you can be on the same level as your teacher?

“…Is it possible that Master is an enemy?”

In response to this question the girl suddenly shrugged her shoulders and said triumphantly:

“Hmm. “That’s right.”

“….”

I thought it was true but it was true.

I guessed that she wasn’t an ordinary girl but she had Bangsin the pinnacle of all radiants as her teacher.

This was more surprising than I thought.

Then the girl said.

“You probably know this well because you work in this field. Have you heard of Haiseon Gakju?”

“Haeseonggakju?”

There was no way Mok Kyung-un knew this.

Although I learned basic common sense through Bangwol Joui-gong I did not learn which radiant groups are famous or who are the six directions.

Of course she had no choice but to know but when she didn’t know this the girl said in bewilderment.

“yes? You really don’t know? “Haeseonggak’s Red American Route?”

“Red American route?”

“no. You really don’t know? Are you really from this lineage? “I don’t even know who our teacher is or where he came from…”

“fizzle!”

“Sigh!”

At Mok Gyeong-un’s words the girl unconsciously held her breath and closed her mouth.

While wondering why Mok Gyeong-un looked toward the northeast.

But eventually

-Shudder!

The girl frowned.

That was because of a very faint force felt outside the building.

This was the power emanating from Lee Ma-mangyang.

The girl looked at Mo Kyung-un with startled eyes.

‘What is this person? ‘You recognized this magic power before me?’
