< Episode 109: Water Fight (6) >
-Gurgling!
Dark war.
Blood flowed from the corner of the mouth of the shadowed being sitting on the throne.
Eventually the being opened its closed eyes.
It was the same for not only the two eyes but also the third eye on the forehead.
– Quad deuk!
The solid stone armrests of the stone chair were broken helplessly by the being’s grip.
The being’s three eyes were stained with anger.
Because I had half of my consciousness connected to my almost identically configured eyes I felt the aftermath of the Donggwi portrait.
The feeling of disappearing in an instant.
It was not a very pleasant feeling even for someone who had lived for a long time and experienced all kinds of hardships.
‘I can’t believe I lost some of my power like this.’
At first glance replicating consciousness seemed like it would create a completely separate object but that wasn’t exactly the case.
It had to be seen as connecting and sharing consciousness with the main body.
Therefore part of the power was bound to be contained and because the eyes of this duplicate consciousness were lost the power imbued there had no choice but to be lost as well.
-They said it was a perfect number but the results say it’s not at all.
One of the rituals clicked his tongue and said.
Then the forehead’s eyes twitched and soon another consciousness expressed its intention.
-You would know by watching together that the variables were large.
-You are the one who said that there is no problem with any variables.
-If it was easy to kill it could have been solved about a hundred years ago.
-what?
-Quaang!
The being was filled with anger and stomped on the ground.
Then not only did the floor crack but the entire dark Daejeon shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
-Kurrrrr!
When the shaking of the Daejeon eventually stopped one of the rituals spoke soothingly.
-Calm down. companion.
-subsidence? Not only had he lost some of his strength Sowol fell into his hands again. But that sound comes out well.
-Not completely.
-What do you want to say?
In response to that question one of the consciousnesses spoke in a meaningful voice.
-Didn’t you tell me? He’ll be desperately looking for us.
* * *
“Don’t leave it to you now.”
As soon as he finished saying those words Mok Kyung-un’s eyes which were full of absolute majesty trembled and soon his eyes and mood changed.
Mok Gyeong-un who had become the same as usual opened his three eyes and looked at his palm covered in smoldering ash.
‘…what?’
Mo Kyung-un was caught by a strange feeling.
Last time it felt like my body was completely controlled by the being inside me.
But this time was different.
It was closer to a feeling of assimilation.
It felt like our opinions were so aligned that it felt like he was another person.
Didn’t he even communicate his intentions to the bastard?
[Trick him.]
In fact the being inside him accepted that intention and deceived him.
And he obediently returned control of his body.
What on earth is the purpose of this being within you?
Just as my mind was becoming confused a huge cheer erupted from the square.
“Waaaaaa!!!”
It was the shouts of the members of the group under Mokgyeongun.
They thought that Mok Kyung-un was in danger so they watched the sky with concern even while fighting the enemies.
However when the fog cleared and they saw the three eyes or rather the Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang hanging down like a dead person they were convinced that Mo Gyeong-un had won.
That’s why it was a shout of victory.
“under?”
In the midst of such shouts Chunchu the first world of secret society who was confronting Gu Cheonmu one of the seven heavens and the head of the Yeonggeom Lodge stuck out her tongue with a somewhat surprised face.
‘No matter how bad it is Mokgan even used Taegongbong Asthma and still lost?’
It was the Taegongbongcheonsik (太空封舛式) an ancient secret technique that sealed even King Shihae one of the six demons infinitely close to a divine beast.
She couldn’t help but be surprised as she had naturally predicted that Mokgan would win.
How can a mere human be this strong?
The look in her eyes as she looked at Mo Kyung-un became strange.
-Sigh!
Then Gucheonmu pointed her sword at her and said
“It didn’t turn out as you predicted. The odds of victory or defeat were tilted. Of course I think we will continue to fight but my lord has joined us…”
It was before he finished speaking.
“surrender.”
The First World Chunqiu withdrew her energy and raised her hands as if she had no intention of fighting.
At this Gu Tianmu frowned and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
No matter how defeated the leader was he never thought he would surrender so easily.
He thought that he would act in an unexpected direction or engage in desperate resistance at least to the extent that he led extra-human beings.
“What kind of trick is this?”
“What does it mean to surrender graciously because the leader lost?”
“….”
As expected something is suspicious.
First we need to block the Qi Gate and thoroughly suppress it so that they cannot use any tricks.
-Rebirth!
-Pot!
At that time Cheongnyeong who had recovered some of his spiritual power flew up and approached Mokgyeongun’s side.
She must have been very worried too and she looked relieved to see that Mok Kyung-un was safe.
“Cheongnyeong.”
-You really…
Cheongryeong tried to say something with her slightly red-eyed face but then closed her mouth.
Then as if she had never done that before her eyes became full of resentment again and she looked at Na Yulyang whose face was being held in Mok Gyeong-un’s hands and asked.
-Did you kill him?
“no. “He didn’t die.”
-…Could it be that you are trying to give me a chance to resolve my grudge by leaving it to you to finish the job?
Cheongnyeong thought that Mok Gyeong-un was considerate of her so she asked in a slightly touched tone.
However Mok Kyung-un shook his head and answered.
“I wish so but not this guy.”
-What do you mean no? Sentient beings didn’t you also recognize that this guy is non-heaven and also has three eyes?
“I did but it’s not exactly a real ritual.”
The young man asked with an expression of not understanding.
-It’s not a real ritual? What does that mean? Are you saying that if it’s not real it can be fake?
“Rather than saying it’s fake should I say it’s made up of your own consciousness in the same way?”
-Consciousness is structured in the same way?
“I don’t know how he did it but it seems he was able to transfer his consciousness and powers through his third eye.”
-Third eye… Are you saying that this is not just a parasitic thing?
“Yes I think so.”
This is Mok Gyeong-un who watched the conversation between the being and the being inside him.
Thanks to this I learned some things about the Three Eyes but it also raised some questions.
It was difficult to understand because he spoke so abstractly but it was as if the being within him was aware of the existence of these three eyes.
Even these three eyes were aware of the existence within him to the point of spitting out his anger.
[I guess this was the reason for the strange feeling of feeling like I didn’t kill him even though I definitely killed him.]
[okay. The feeling of desperately wanting something can also be called greed. However how can you talk about greed towards me when you have arbitrarily taken what belongs to me?]
The moment I heard this strangely enough I remembered the story Cheongnyeong had told me.
The man whom Cheongnyeong loved as Ryu So-wol when he was alive.
I don’t know why but their conversation made me feel like the past that Cheongnyeong had been talking about was continuing.
‘…no way.’
Mo Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.
Then he heard a voice calling out to him from somewhere.
“Momokja! help!”
Mo Gyeong-un looked puzzled and looked down to where the shouting was coming from.
There was a woman covered in wounds and she was Ki Ok-ryeon the eldest wife of Yangamgokju Gihae the confidant and longtime friend of Wi So-yeon the youngest disciple of Cheonjihoeju.
what?
Come to think of it most of her faction that followed her including Soyeon above her were not visible.
But why did Ki Ok-ryeon appear like that?
I was puzzled but the young man spoke.
– Hand that guy over to me and go.
“What about Nayulryang?”
-okay. Since his body was once taken over by that bastard he might remember something right?
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Mok Gyeong-un’s words but since he had three eyes he was a young spirit who must have known something about the guy.
Mok Gyeong-un nodded her head and handed over Na Yu-ryang who was unconscious to her.
And then
-widely!
It was a light new type and landed on the ground where Giokryeon was.
Then Ki Ok-ryeon spoke in a pleading voice even with tears in her eyes.
“Confucius. Please help me. Lady Wi So-yeon has been kidnapped by unknown people.”
“hijacking?”
“Your King Myeongdo and my father Yangamgokju dealt with them…but…”
She was in tears and couldn’t speak properly.
Not surprisingly most of the blood on her clothes belonged to her father.
He desperately tried to protect Wei Soyeon but his body was cut in half by the enemy and he lost his life.
Recalling her father’s death her grief became so intense that she was unable to speak properly.
“What happened to the Sword Demon?”
This was the reason why Mok Gyeong-un was puzzled.
Her superior Soyeon also had a faction under her that followed her but she sent the best swordsman Geomma (劍魔) from Geomgok (劍谷) the sacred place of swords as her subordinate just in case.
“Sword Demon?”
“Except.”
She was the one who understood what she said.
Although she was an outsider who called herself a swordsman she was more famous in the world as a swordsman who was crazy about swords.
“He sent me to Confucius.”
“A foreigner sent you?”
“Hmm… Yes Lord Jioe joined and fought with King Myeongdo against that huge man but he was too strong.”
Son Yun the King of Myeongdo was a huge man but he was even bigger than him.
It was natural that he would be subdued in some way because the top masters of his father’s great master level who were members of the Five Kings and executives had stepped forward but in fact it was a monster so enormous that it could far overwhelm them.
Ji et al. who had joined her late and helped them hurriedly sent her to her husband Gyeong-un.
‘Why?’
For a moment Mo Kyung-un had doubts.
If they were desperately targeting Cheongryeong it was understandable because the Three Eyes were also non-human.
However even though So-yeon above was Cheong-ryeong and her twin sister she was a completely different person even though she looked so much like her that it was believable.
But why did they kidnap her?
In addition Jie Oe was an expert in flower painting and King Son Yun of Myeongdo was also a super expert approaching that level.
They didn’t invest enough power into this place that they couldn’t be an opponent even if they joined forces but they only used it to kidnap Wei So-yeon?
‘…There’s something.’
Mo Qingyun instinctively believed that there was a reason why Secret Love was targeting Wei Xiaoyeon.
There is no perfect coincidence in anything.
Even so I always wondered why she looked so much like her young soul and I thought she might have something to do with the secret.
hereto
“Where is it?”
“I will guide you…”
-Park!
“oh?”
“Say it.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist and flew up at her side unfolding the Neung Empty Way.
-Paang!
So Mo Qingyun kicked the air and flew towards Wei Xiaoyeon’s manor.
Someone staggered out from the broken wall of the main building and looked at them.
He was the head of Cheonjihoe.
“Cough cough cough… Did you touch that child Wi So-yeon?”
