Episode 794. Dragons’ Stronghold ‘Salt Lake’ (1)

“The Demon King… .”

Cheonhye-ryu looked at the monster that appeared before his eyes.

His expression was even darker than when the polluted shogus or bar-abyss appeared.

Well, that can’t be helped.

At least on the 49th floor, the Demon King is an absolute being, no different from a natural disaster.

No matter how advantageous the stronghold was, it was a wave that could never be stopped at one’s own level.

“Thousand… Thousand. I don’t know. I have nothing to talk to about you, so if you want to face me, bring that damned Mujinryong with you. Even if they’re the same earthworms, wouldn’t it be more fun to face them if they were a little thicker?”

The Demon King snapped his fingers.

Anger overcame fear at the provocation that openly disgraced the proud Mujinryong.

“cheeky…!”

Cheonhye-ryu’s mouth gaped open.

A large amount of energy flowed out from the Yeouiju in his hand.

The center of the mouth is where the white waves are sucked in.

[Cheonhye Ryu activates the ‘Salt Castle’ during the Seongmyeong Festival!]

The white crystals formed sharp triangular shapes.

at the same time.

At an incredible pace, decisions began to form new shapes.

It looks like a huge castle has been laid down.

The salt castle, splendidly detailed and carved, is fully in place.

“How dare you show such disrespect to Mujinryong. I will tear that insolent mouth to pieces.”

A breath that blew away the entire castle rushed forward in an instant.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A white explosion filled the field of vision.

The surrounding area shook violently from side to side.

Pupupupu!

Kwaaang!

Explosions followed explosions.

It was such an enormous force that it caught not only the Shoggaths that had been regenerating so tenaciously, but also his own Dragon Tooth Soldiers.

“Ugh. Ugh…”

Cheonhye-ryu let out a sharp breath.

Because so much energy was consumed, it was barely possible to avoid falling.

The Yeouiju in his hand also completely lost its shine.

however.

Damn it.

A heavy sound of footsteps echoed among the countless scattered crystals.

“Still, it was pretty good for a baby worm. It did sting a little.”

The Uma King slowly closed the distance with a smile on his face.

There were a few scratches here and there, but they only caused a little bit of bleeding.

It was so far from fatal.

It is unavoidable.

Running away or responding was also impossible.

All Cheonhye-ryu could do was gasp for breath as he watched the approaching Uma-wang.

50m.

40m.

And 20m.

Tukwaaang!

The Uma King disappeared from that spot and struck Cheonhye Ryu in the neck.

“Kuaaaah!”

Gagagagagak… Kwaaaaang!

The huge body flew for a long time across the salt lake.

All the rocks and trees in between were uprooted.

Cheon Hye-ryu’s whole body, covered in blood, trembled faintly.

The match was decided in one blow.

“Tch. This guy was fake too. Anyway, it’s no fun if it’s not that monkey. I hope Mujinryong lives up to his name.”

The Uma King stood in front of Cheonhye Ryu.

This time, I planned to completely destroy his life by destroying his heart.

But right then.

Phew!

Something hot struck the Demon King’s side.

“Huh!”

Because of the bets he unconsciously let out, he didn’t even feel ticklish from moderate attacks.

But the attack that was just now was different from that.

“You call a noble race an earthworm? I guess we need to start by addressing that baseless way of thinking.”

A familiar voice was heard from behind Cheonhye-ryu.

With the soft black crane.

“Touching the dragons is the same as attacking us. In order to protect our precious relationship, we will join the battlefield!”

Teresa was reading the note she received from Jinhyeok as if she was reading a Korean textbook.

The two, who had escaped from Hwagwa Mountain on a top-secret mission, came here straight away via a different route.

One way to overcome overwhelmingly unfavorable odds.

To forge an alliance with a powerful force that maintains neutrality.

‘As expected, Jinhyeok is amazing.’

Teresa clenched her small fists.

From the moment we first met in the Corridors of the Fallen. Until this moment, when we reached the 49th floor.

I had faced countless difficulties.

Although he despaired and was frustrated in front of the terrible hells that he thought were impossible, Jinhyuk found a solution without failing even once.

That’s why.

I will believe and follow.

Because I had nothing to fear as long as I was with the most secure and precious person I knew.

Teresa and the Malang Black Crane took up a fighting stance.

“… … .”

The pupils of the Uma King, who was touching his side, narrowed.

It’s not because of anger caused by pain.

Interesting.

It was a curiosity that blossomed about a being that wielded a power that was more unfamiliar and stimulating than a dragon.

Sigh.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the Uma King’s mouth.

“Interesting. Does it use divine abilities? That worm is also a dragon, but it seems to use some rather unique abilities.”

“Don’t come any closer. Otherwise….”

“What if you don’t? Are you going to cut me with that sword?”

The Uma King, who burst into laughter, lowered his posture slightly.

Feet dig into the ground.

Kwaaang!

The body, compressed like a water spring, bounced away with a mixture of enormous weight and energy.

Teresa raised her shield reflexively.

Above the left head.

Pakaang!

A huge horn bounced off the edge of the shield.

The Demon King, who was trying to pierce Teresa’s body, missed his chance for a surprise attack.

“Let’s have tough beef for dinner.”

[The soft black crane activates ‘Weather Change’!]

Flash!

Lightning poured down from the sky, accompanied by flashes of light.

The Uma King crossed his arms and took in the falling lightning bolts with his whole body.

And in that gap.

[Teresa activates ‘Divine Protection’ – ‘Judgment of Light’!]

The shield and sword were imbued with dazzling divine power, and a single ray of light aimed for the Demon King’s heart.

Phew!

The tip of the sword pierced the skin and dug inward.

The Uma King took a step back.

“… … !”

but.

Just a few centimeters.

That was all the blow that had been thrown with all its might allowed.

“I thought it was a little different… You guys were just as empty inside. This is out of the question.”

A look of disappointment appeared on the Uma King’s face.

at the same time.

The shape of the hand changed little by little.

A hand covered in swaying red flames.

A beautiful heat flowed along the sharp muscles.

[Partial manifestation ‘Urongryong Gyeok’ is activated!]

A red line running along the front of the eyes.

And along that trajectory.

The Demon King’s hand moved.

Slow.

It’s definitely not fast.

I can’t take my eyes off it, captivated by the elegance of its lines and trajectories.

Teresa instinctively raised her shield.

The shield, which felt heavier than ever, as if it weighed a thousand pounds, barely made it to where my chest was.

At that very moment.

Kkwudduddudduk!!!

The shield was badly dented.

Even though I blocked it, the shock wave pierced through my armor and penetrated my body.

“Ugh….”

Teresa vomited red blood.

It’s a good thing we were able to defend ourselves.

If it had been a direct hit, his entire body would have been pierced.

“Oh my. Landlady!”

The soft-faced black crane broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the sight.

This is because Jinhyuk’s warning that if he hurt Teresa by any chance, he would separate the bones and flesh and make a dragonfly chicken came to mind.

“are you okay.”

Teresa staggered to her feet again.

Instead of holding the crooked shield, he held the sword with both hands and gathered the scattered magical power again.

“I’ll take care of this one, so you can evacuate that dragon as originally planned.”

“Ha, but. Are you okay? The wound looks pretty deep?”

“I am enough on my own. Don’t worry about me and just focus on the task at hand. That is the only way for everyone.”

“… … Phew. There’s nothing I can do. Don’t push yourself too hard and stay still. I’ll be back soon.”

The soft-faced black crane turned to face the fallen Cheonhye-ryu.

“Who would care about whom when they’re all dying?”

It seems as if the Uma King won’t miss a single one.

This time, red flare-ups occurred on both hands.

But at that very moment.

“No. That was the first thing I said to you to gauge your strength.”

“what?”

Wiggle.

A sinewy vein sprouted from the horse king’s forehead.

“Are you saying that you can stop me with that body that is about to collapse? And you have already measured my strength. I have not even shown a fraction of my true power yet.”

“that….”

Woohoo!

A pure white crown appeared above Teresa’s golden hair.

“Me too.”

[I’m wearing the ‘Crown of Divinity’!]

One of the seven crowns.

The holy relic that brings the end of divine power answered the call of its master.

A moment that could almost be called simultaneous.

[The unique spear ‘Seraphim’ is activated!]

Behind Teresa’s back, pure white wings spread out.

Woohoo!

Starlight pouring down from the sky.

The entire sky was colored with a pure and beautiful aurora without a single speck of dust.

[Special skill ‘Lord of Heaven’ is activated!]

With the sound of a horn.

A deep, clear voice resounded.

It sounded like it was coming from Teresa’s mouth, but it also sounded like it was someone else’s voice.

-Behold, this is the time when the new owner of the crown sets new standards of good and evil.

Divine magic activated through words.

Teresa’s pupils slowly began to turn golden.

– Come. Let every one of you respond to the call without exception. Thus, I command all angels to fulfill the sacred covenant of the Ten Commandments.

Okay then.

A blurry outline slowly came into view.

They were the clones of archangels embodied with divine power.

The clones, armed with white armor and weapons, pulled out long swords and spears from different directions.

Two swords pointed at the Uma King from the south and the north.

Chorrrrrr!

Golden chains emerged from the tip of the sword and wrapped around the Demon King’s arms and legs.

“Ugh. What… dirty tricks…”

The Demon King twisted his body wildly.

However, the tightly bound chains did not break even with the Demon King’s great strength.

The ability to complete sealing and destruction at the same time.

For my colleagues.

For someone precious.

To reach the top of the tower with no one else.

I am standing here now.

Teresa’s eyes turned completely golden.

The voice echoing through the air merged with Teresa’s voice.

“Something like this… right now…”

The Uma King’s muscles expanded even more.

Now, the entire body was glowing red and was on fire.

Teresa quietly recited the last part of the poem.

-As it is made in heaven.

A golden magic circle appeared on the floor of the Umma King to the song of the angels holding trumpets.

A magic circle of the same type appeared above my head as well.

Two archangels holding spears hurled their spears toward heaven and earth.

-It will be done on earth.

like that.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The great pillar of light extending from the sky and the earth also merged into one point.

***

“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.”

The soft-skinned crane let out an exclamation of admiration as he saw the tremendous wave of divine power behind him.

Although I was already quite a distance from the salt lake, the tingling sensation that spread throughout my body made me feel as if I was right next to it.

but.

Even in such a huge storm, the spirit of the Uma King did not disappear.

I endured it.

I have the same power as the judge.

Of course, it must have been quite a shock, because his energy was noticeably reduced compared to the beginning.

“It’s a battle between monsters… If I stayed by, I wouldn’t even be able to pick up a bone.”

It was at that very moment that I was expressing such sentiments.

“You are….”

Cheonhye-ryu, who had barely recovered, looked at the soft black-crowned crane carrying him.

I couldn’t believe it, but it was true.

With beautiful blue scales and horns.

‘Blue Dragon’, one of the four guardian deities.

I never thought I’d see the Eastern beast that had been missing for quite some time here.

“Don’t talk too much. You have yet to fully recover, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

At Malrang Black Crane’s words, Cheonhye Ryu kept his mouth shut.

Then, as if something occurred to him, he asked something.

“…Why did you decide to help us? You…”

“The past is irrelevant. My master wanted an alliance with you. I will simply follow suit.”

“If you go, you’ll regret it?”

“That is also a karma I must endure. I will take care of my own body, so don’t worry about it and just focus on your survival.”

“I see… that’s it. Okay. I’ll guide you to the king.”

Phew.

Cheonhye Ryu breathed life into it.

Okay then.

A white path made of salt crystals was created across the sky.
