31.

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

Mao stumbled backwards in shock as he watched the sword flying towards him. Then, with a bang! The dishes on the table rolled across the floor, and the spear-dragon sword narrowly passed over his chest.

I feel like my life has been shortened by ten years.

But the crisis was just beginning.

I saw the figure of Cheonma smiling brightly at me through his upside-down vision. And I saw the figure of my adoptive father, Jin Woo-kwang, who was shooting a blast of wind as if he was going to kill me while sticking out his finger.

“F*ck… … .”

ping!

A thin gust of wind swept across the table like a poisonous needle. If it continued like this, it would pierce through Mao’s head, who had leaned back.

What should I do? No matter how much I think about it, there is only one way.

“Euryaaaaah!”

Mao let out a scream like a spirit and grabbed the handle of the spear dragon sword that was passing over his chest. Woof! At the same time, he instinctively released a huge amount of extreme yang energy explosively into his hand.

Then, a coincidence that I had never seen before unfolded.

Woohoo!

‘100 million!’

Suddenly, a red light began to emanate from the blade of the Changryongdo sword along with hot heat.

What on earth is going on?

There was no time to be surprised any longer. In just a little while, the wind would pass through my body.

Mao reflexively leapt forward, spun around, and raised his sword to shield himself.

Then, Kaang-!

“Kaaaak!”

A loud noise echoed through the room, and Mao fell backwards with a scream.

The dragon sword that had been emitting yang energy suddenly cooled down, and Mao fell to the ground, feeling his body and muttering.

“Oh, Lord, are you dead?”

No way.

“You are not dead yet, so wake up.”

“omg!”

Mao jumped up at the sound of the voice and aimed his sword. When he looked ahead, Jin Woo-kwang was sitting at the table, looking at him with his arms crossed, as if nothing had happened.

“There are few who have ever pointed a sword at me.”

“ah…….”

Mao then realized his mistake and put the sword into his armpit instead of the sheath, then threw it on the floor with a loud noise, saying it was hot.

Then he ran back again, picked it up, and knelt down.

What a distracted kid.

Jin Woo-kwang said with a sly smile.

“Now I have finally been acknowledged by Changryongdo.”

“Huh? You admit it? He’s me?”

“okay.”

Mao lowered his head with his hands in bewilderment. The spear dragon sword he was holding was still emitting heat as smoke.

What is this feeling?

For some reason, the trembling in my tightly clenched fist feels like the sword is talking to me. Telling me to swing harder. Telling me to swing harder.

They said it was a god, but now I see it’s a monster.

“You’ve become quite adept at handling bets. Did the nobleman teach you?”

“Oh, no?”

“Telling me a lie is like asking for my death.”

“That’s right. That guy taught me all this. He’s such a shameless guy!”

“Is that so?”

Jin Woo-kwang let out a snicker at the sudden change in stance.

“Yes.

When are you excited and swearing? Jin Woo-kwang replied affectionately, looking at Mao who was looking dispirited.

“It seems like you have a lot of affection for that noblewoman.”

“that is…….”

“Okay. I understand what you are saying.”

“Go, thank you!”

Mao let out a sigh of relief and smiled bashfully.

But.

“Then prove it.”

Jin Woo-kwang lowers his jawline, which is as beautiful as a sculpture, and continues speaking while examining his clean fingernails.

“Prove it yourself whether that nobleman is truly worthy of being saved.”

“Why would I… … .”

Mao asked in bewilderment, but quickly corrected himself upon seeing Jin Woo-guang’s cold eyes.

“Oh, I see! But… … What should I do?”

“Next time you come, try blocking it with your body without any water.”

“What… … are you talking about?”

Jin Woo-kwang silently pointed his index finger at Mao’s forehead.

no way…….

“No, right?”

Jin Woo-kwang takes his hand away and examines his fingernails again.

“I don’t care if there is damage.”

“Are you talking about that wind just now? No, how could I… … .”

“If that gentleman is truly worthy, he will show you the way.”

Is this what you mean now, Bangguin?

“What if I can’t avoid it?”

“Then I will lose one of my children. Of course, that nobleman has also served his purpose, so he should die.”

What the heck?! No, why is this happening?

“Until next breakfast. You can do it now if you want.”

Shh …

A terrible magical energy emanates from the tip of Cheonma’s pointed hand.

“Okay, I’ll do it next time! I’ll definitely avoid it!”

“Good. Then go.”

“yes!”

Mao was walking towards Jin Woo-kwang instead of the door, unable to pay attention to whether he was wandering around or not. Jin Woo-kwang nodded and spoke kindly to him.

“The way out is that way.”

“yes!”

Mao turned around and left. But after a while, he turned around again and came closer, whispering.

“But father.”

“hmm?”

“I was short-sighted. I’d rather just kill that guy. He’ll grab my ankles any time. I’ll start by chopping off his hands.”

“… … Next time, definitely avoid me. I want to see you for a long time too.”

“Yes… …! May you live long live the greatness of God.”

Mao took the lottery ticket and left. Jin Woo-guang watched blankly for a moment, and only after he disappeared did he mutter.

“… …May you live long and prosper.”

* * *

‘This is… …!’

Meanwhile, at that moment, Jang-seo was in shock at Cheonma-jeon, not even knowing that his life was coming and going.

There is one reason.

‘What on earth has that person been doing… … .’

This was because his traces were found in a well near Horongdang’s outpost.

The brainwashing method, the white thunderbolt, and the person who left behind the brain gun sam.

This is his exact trace.

‘There’s a secret code written on the well here too… … .’

It was the same as when I first discovered Cheonmago. A teratological secret word in Braille. Something I never expected to happen has happened.

‘Could it be that he was a warrior of Horongdang?’

There is a possibility. In any case, this is the Horongdang outpost located in front of Cheonmajeon. It is not a place where just anyone can enter.

But it was too long ago to keep track of.

There is one surest way.

Seeing is believing.

“… … Let’s go.”

Jang Yi-seo pushed in the protruding bricks one by one in the exact order written in the secret code.

Grrrrr!

Then, with a faint vibration, the walls split apart and a hidden path opened.

*

Knock, knock.

The sound of water droplets hitting the floor is as loud as a bolt from the blue.

It must have been about an hour since I entered the secret path in the well.

Inside, it was dark without a single torch, and the ceiling got lower and lower, so I had to walk hunched over and before I knew it, I was crawling.

However, Jang was certain that there would definitely be a secret relic like Cheonmago hidden at the end of this road.

So he didn’t give up and kept going. And after another half hour, a smile finally appeared on his lips.

“also…….”

At the end of the road, as expected, there was a torch hanging.

It’s Cheonmago. Cheonmago was hidden here too.

Jang-seo controlled his trembling heart and turned the torch to the side twice, clicking, clicking.

Gurrrrrrrr!

Then, with a vibration, the blocked wall opened and a bright light emitted.

Jang covered his eyes and let them adjust to the light for a moment. Then he carefully bent down and looked inside.

There is something blocking the entrance, so it is hard to see clearly. One light is bright, and there is a wall about twenty paces away. It is impossible to see who is inside.

but.

‘You don’t have to see it to know… … .’

Jang-seo pressed his ear to the floor. The surest way to find out who was there was through sound.

No matter how hard you try to hide your presence, your heartbeat will still be transmitted to the floor as an echo. Of course, it would take a high level of training and talent to hear this, but fortunately, Jang is capable of both.

‘There is no one.’

Jang-seo’s eyes flashed. There was no one within fifty paces at least. At this point, it was worth going out.

after.

I took a deep breath and crawled out. Then, gurgling! A startling loud noise rang out from behind me.

When I hurriedly looked back, the door I had come through had disappeared.

‘this!’

I felt the wall, but the hole had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there. There was no escape route.

‘The only thing left is to move forward… … .’

It was already too late. Jang-seo swallowed his saliva and carefully crawled out, finally getting out completely.

Then, a wide open space came into view.

A spacious room. To the northwest, a door with a strange pattern can be seen, and the surrounding four sides are filled with five-tiered display cases with all sorts of herbs neatly laid out. The place that was covering the hole was also this display case.

‘What are these… …?!’

And Jang Seo, who saw this, was shocked. No, he approached as if possessed, closed his eyes, and savored the fragrance.

Ugh, sigh.

It’s expensive. It smells very expensive.

They were clearly spiritual herbs that were difficult to obtain even for a thousand pieces of gold, as they had a beautiful fragrance and were full of a magical energy.

Why on earth are all these things here?

No, more than that.

‘Judging from the state of preservation of the medicinal herbs, they are not that old. So… … who is still living here?’

My head was filled with confusion.

Who the hell.

Could it be that the former person of Baek-roe was still alive? That was an unimaginable assumption.

Of course, when I saw the ancient murals, I thought they were people from the distant past… … .

‘Let’s investigate further first.’

Jang Yi-seo walked forward without hesitation, leaving behind the expensive spirits. It is lowly to jump into something without hesitation in the heat of the moment. Even if you get drunk, you get drunk after being thoroughly prepared. That is the secret to Jang Yi-seo’s long-term accumulation of wealth.

I started to walk with a crawl, pressing against the wall as much as possible. Soon I reached the tightly closed door and lightly placed my hand on it. However, no matter how slowly I pushed it, the door did not budge.

‘No way. Is it the same principle as the magic wall?’

The deeply engraved, strange pattern and the bluish color are very familiar. Jang put his ear to the door and listened for a while, then lightly opened the door and let out a gasp.

Woohoo!

Then, the drawn pattern began to glow with light, and then, with a thud! the door slowly opened to the left.

‘Okay!’

As expected, it reacts to internal energy like a wall. Jang-i nodded his head vigorously, came out, and turned his head left and right to look around.

An empty hallway with no one in it.

Jang-i went out naturally, trying to hide his presence as much as possible.

Grrrrr! Then the door closes automatically.

‘The more I look at it, the more I’m amazed. Such an advanced organ system. Who on earth could do something like this… ?’

I don’t know. I’ve lived in the Demonic Cult for over ten years and I’ve never heard of it.

Looking around, I see that there are five more doors in this hallway that are exactly the same as the one I came out of. I guess so. I just can’t believe it.

‘Could it be… … that there are treasures hidden here?’

Jang Yiseo swallowed hard, approached the door next to him, put his ear to it, and made a bet.

Drrrrrr!

Then the door to the side opened and a dazzling light radiated from inside. To be exact, it was all kinds of shiny weapons reflecting the light of the night sky.

‘crazy…….’

Jang Yi-seo was so happy that he couldn’t stop swearing. The corners of his mouth were already hanging on his ears, and his eyes were dizzy with greed.

What a windfall. You can tell even from a distance. The weapons here are the best of the best, and the thrill of drawing the sword is greater than the pleasure you get from striking it.

Drrrrrr!

After watching blankly for a while, the door automatically closed again as if telling me to come to my senses.

And I decided.

‘From today onwards, Cheonmago is yours.’
