#286. The Wise Man 11

#286.

It was extremely rare for humans to venture into the forbidden land.

A transcendentally strong person. Or a pitiful, extremely unlucky person.

The Wise One. Chestal Asparov was a human being of the former type. He was one of the few great wizards in the history of the Federation.

So it was quite surprising.

Not only is he a great wizard of a high level, but he is also a wise man who has personally devoted himself to his accomplishments, rivaling the best among living humans.

There was quite a stir even among the nine elders.

Even—

Even the ‘first being’ was aroused with a bit of curiosity.

And time passed like flowing water.

In the meantime, quite a long time had passed since the sage had come to the forbidden land. After about 20 years had passed since he had devoted himself to it, the first being finally came to favor the sage who was outstanding in many ways, and even though he was not one of the nine elders, he gave him a generous amount of noble blood.

So much blood that he could be called the tenth elder.

···The wise man received the blood equivalent of nine elders in the shortest possible time.

But no one could have imagined that the wise man who had received such power would have other thoughts. Since he would have to become a traitor anyway, he would have to say goodbye to the Federation forever, so they did not feel the need to worry.

And it was only today, when he discovered the missing sage, that Gonma became certain that the followers of the Tainokai had come all the way to this distant place and revealed themselves.

If from the beginning they were planning to take blood and join them, then everything that has happened so far makes sense.

A thief who steals precious blood by acting like a tongue in the mouth. Recently, one of the elders became greedy and returned to the dust, so did he have the resolve to do so?

Gurrrrrrung······.

The sage’s powerful yogi and realm are gradually diminishing.

“Did you think you could just take the blood and run away?”

“······.”

victory.

Elder Gonma took his victory for granted. Even if he had been blessed with noble blood and a prominent figure in humanity, he could not handle the elder alone, who had accumulated yogic energy for over 180 years.

Furthermore, Gonma felt that the sage was not in perfect condition. The mounds of dirt scattered here and there in this area and the pits created by the twisted axis of the earth were evidence of battles with quite powerful beings in the past.

Judging from the lack of energy and strength at the moment, he must still be recovering, and he must have simply pulled out all the energy he had accumulated to respond.

······Kuuung!

They must have tried to do something by joining forces with the power of the unknowing Taenokai. However, they are stopped by the power of humanity and cannot even approach. In the first place, even if those lowly guys arrive here, they will never get what they want.

By then the wise man will be cold and dead…!

Kugugugugugugugugugu!

As the sage fell to the floor in disarray, the energy that shook the heavens and the earth gathered in Gonma’s two hands.

The sage fought back with his pitch-black eyes flashing, but he was unable to shake off Gonma’s evil energy. The ground caved in from the incredible force, and the giant creature burst out from its base, spewing red blood in all directions. The area the sage had spread out became blurred, and the entire area became a sea of ​​blood.

Woooooooooo—

A giant creature falls over with a loud noise.

At that moment, the giant creature and the wise man connected by long tentacles fell to the ground and stretched out their hands.

Whatever it was, it was just a meaningless tantrum.

Kwajik!

The sage’s outstretched arm completely evaporated and disappeared due to Gonma’s precise interception. Then, as if he had given up, the sage’s body froze and he could not move.

Gonma looked at that pitiful sight with a sad smile.

Why would a human being who is so smart make such a stupid choice and invite death? He could just live forever. It’s really incomprehensible—

“Huh!”

“···?”

“How could he!”

At that moment, a strange noise was heard along with some awkward dialogue.

Gonma’s neck, which had been focused on one point, creaked and instinctively turned around.

and······

At the end of the gaze, there was a man catching his breath.

“He’s almost arrived at Al Heimdall?”

The man let out an incomprehensible sound, not caring about Gonma’s murderous gaze. The content was just like having an intimate conversation with someone. Despite the strange behavior, Gonma didn’t rush in right away because the momentum he was giving off was quite tolerable.

A man running into the area holding a sword.

Revan.

“Hoo—”

Revan, who received the murderous gaze of Gonma, shouted with a face filled with determination.

“Samjon (三尊), is Maengwoogak coming this way? I understand. It will be difficult, but I will try to buy as much time as possible. Oh, okay, let’s talk again later.”

“······.”

Thud. Thud

Gonma’s eyes narrowed like thread as he glanced at Revan walking towards him.

* * *

“hmm.”

Finally, we arrived here.

Hooooooooooooo—!

The periphery of a wildly swirling area.

After leaving the caso phone behind and jumping into the Sage’s realm.

···The first thing I saw was a person in the air emitting an eerie aura in all directions.

A little taller than a human, about 3 meters tall. Its skin resembles a rock jutting out from a cliff, and a thrilling aura leaks out through the cracks in its skin that are as rough as a stone floor. Its long, torn mouth is filled with bloody foam that looks like it just came out.

The small ruins that had somewhat retained the city’s original form were long ago swept away without a trace by the clash between the two beings.

“······.”

On the cold ground, a man who looked like a wise man was lying down. His two arms were nowhere to be found. The thin tentacles were slowly regenerating his body, but the speed was very slow. It seemed as if his mountain-like energy had been completely consumed.

Gulp······.

The giant creature that had been crushed beneath the sage’s feet had already burst and shattered into pieces.

Even though it was as big as one of the legs of the named Parumuchi, it exploded like a bomb and put on a blood fountain show, and ended up drenching the ground.

If he was a sage who was one of the Seven Seats of the previous generation, he would definitely have great power even back when he was a human······but with that bastard Parumuchi involved, he was no match for him.

Looking at the black eyes, it seems like he’s not in his right mind.

soon.

My eyes met with a mighty corpse that was reminiscent of the incomprehensible.

My whole body feels tingly. A chill runs down my neck.

The level of energy he possesses is incredibly high. When you see him up close, it is on a different level than when you see him from afar.

After all, it was the so-called ‘rock’ that I saw in Sungsan’s simulation booklet. It was a being that matched the description perfectly in many ways, such as being able to kill a level 8 enemy in one breath by bombarding it from a long distance.

‘It must be hard.’

I’m quick to grasp the subject, but I’m not sure I can cut down that guy one-on-one even if I were to wield a sword and go wild like a punk. The wounds I got from fighting the sage are all regenerating in a matter of seconds.

A pitiful scarecrow who died at the hands of Maeng Woo-gak. Just like the monster that forcibly ate away at people’s minds, that guy is also an absurd existence that is far beyond the norm. He reached level 10, but the natural flow of evil spirits is enough to suffocate him. If the wise man who killed the last of the Seven Seats had been defeated, there would be no need to say anything else.

There is no federal power to assist here.

You and I are both out there fighting to the death with the corpses.

So, which one should I give my strength to, the wise man or the corpse of the outcast? Or should I wait for one of them to die while circling around, hoping to take advantage of the situation?

There is no need to choose right away.

【······.】

That corpse guy didn’t show it on the outside, but he couldn’t just ignore the words, “Samjon Maengwoo-gak.” If things were as they were, he should’ve immediately killed the dying sage and rushed over here, but judging by the fact that he was still hesitating, he must’ve been flustered.

Samjon Maengwoogak.

Actually, I was just talking nonsense as a last resort. Certainly, unlike someone like me, the value of the name of the Three Lords was truly great, and I could feel that the monster was finally spreading its aura in all directions. Soon, the incredible aura spread out several kilometers away in an instant.

This is why a person’s snout is so scary.

Anyway, the worst crisis of the betrayed sage dying without a will and leaving only the monster’s face behind has passed. After all, that guy is not a real person, so he will soon realize that what I am saying is nonsense.

I had to take stock of the situation and make a quick decision.

A few seconds later.

【 I just wasted my time. 】

As expected, he instantly realized that what I said was a lie. An incredible amount of anger boiled up, heating the air, and the pressure felt like my heart was being torn apart, an overload I had never experienced before.

Of course, at that time, I was also in a situation where I had finished preparing the formula in an instant.

Woooooooooo—

The branch stuck deep into my waist vibrated like crazy.

…In the meantime, I decided to gamble. The air that had been calm as if a tightly-pulled string had snapped shook like thunder. I chose to leave the dying sage behind and prioritize the battle with the corpse.

————!

Suddenly, a hazy magical power covered the ground like a halo of stars. The realm of the sage’s magic had already almost disappeared. The current of magical power that smoothly flowed out through my body filled the space in waves.

Wedge-aeaek—

At that moment, the rock-like creature, its eyes rolling back in anger, moved its arms.

Quadduk-

It was like a bolt from the blue. A brief moment of breathing hundreds of times. It happened so quickly······

【You die too.】

“······.”

When I came to, my left cheek was stinging intensely. The flesh on that side was torn off in chunks, and the cold wind blew right up to my gums, making my teeth tingle. I was clearly prepared and tried to dodge, but it was no different from being hit when I was defenseless.

Pain was slowly creeping into my brain.

A spurt of blood flowed from the wound on his cheek into his mouth.

He couldn’t bring himself to continue speaking. As I had already experienced, the corpses that were on a level similar to the incomprehensible were incredibly strong.

Saaaa—

I raised my head and looked at the ground where the wise man had fallen.

Take a look at the sky of the still swirling area.

I also saw a corpse spewing out space-disrupting energy in all directions.

Let’s check once whether the three saints really come or not.

I once saw the wind brushing my cheek like a wave.

Soon, the world you see becomes very red.

It is not caused by an infection.

Funny enough, even a weak guy like me gets angry because he’s a man.

I lifted my hand and lightly touched the ball. I immediately felt dry gums, and warm blood flowed out. An unpleasant sense of foreboding settled over my shoulder as I remembered the day I first met Rudolph in Junktown. Perhaps this scar would last a long time.

Pot!

I acknowledged my weakness and kicked the ground as if I was flying. My magical powers that had been released like a cluster of stars nearby assisted in this movement.

It seemed like my speed had increased by several times compared to usual. I chose to run with all my might and sink into a swamp with no place to go.

Phew—

His breathing became cold. He moved practically as he approached the rock. There were no flashy moves or tricks. It was simple, so to speak. He swung his sword with force, kicked, and punched, and things like that.

Sometimes he hits you or bites you with his teeth.

Combat can sometimes be simplified depending on one’s state of mind. Since Unpyeong risked his life to block Sachuksan Mountain, I too should risk my life and swing my sword.

Isn’t that the face of a chairman who encompasses a megacorp?

Those guys won’t listen to me, so go kill them! This might be cooler than that. I patted myself on the back and fought quite earnestly.

The energy flowing in through the open upper dantian circled the middle and lower dantian and was captured in the sword. The formless energy rippled and spread out in all directions like paint.

Phew-

Suddenly, my vision darkened and my shoulder was pierced, blood spurting out. To be exact, it was cut off and almost disappeared, but I used my extreme technique to rupture it first.

As the rock-thing charged like an island, my whole body felt a burden. My brain felt like it was going to boil from the terrifying heat. Even while doing that, I instinctively swung my light beam to hit the rock-thing as an enemy. Ah. Isn’t this the state of the union of the divine and the divine, the unity of water and the divine? I felt a new sensation and instantly changed the trajectory of my sword.

Crunch!

The trajectory of the light suddenly curved into a crescent moon shape. Even though it was just an ordinary sword technique without any pre-emptive strikes, it was able to cut the shoulder of the one who rushed at him. Soon, the aerodynamic power that rose up through his entire body was filled with determination.

The streams of aerodynamic energy surge up to the vast sky. Black trajectories are carved all over the air. Red drops of blood fly out between the densely interlocked trajectories.

Phew!

The blade of the ray penetrated deep into the hard skin. It was firmly lodged in the crack of the rock-like skin. As I pushed it in and twisted it out, the bastard’s hard flesh was cut off. Although it was probably just a minor injury, I was quite satisfied.

That moment.

Crunch!

A great flash of light flashed before my eyes, and I flew a hundred meters. When I opened my eyes, a corpse spewing out a terrible aura was thrusting its face right in front of my eyes. I immediately swung the beam and took a stance, but from then on, I gradually began to lose the fight. In fact, the word gradually is not appropriate. It was just that I was being blatantly pushed from the beginning.

Kwajijijik!

The sharp tip of the light scattered like rays of light. Although I was quite overwhelmed by the vastness of the yogic energy, I was proud of myself for talking about the Three Lords and fighting back confidently, and throwing my sword. I was not cowardly despite my shortcomings. Didn’t I show my manly side enough?

Phew-

The upper tian, which had been sucking in the energy that was being processed, closed. The body closed it on its own before the brain and the energy vessels could withstand the heat and the load and ripen.

He was very weak after catching the red eyeball and the jar one after another. He had even handed over the essence to Unpyeong, so it was not easy to keep the upper body open even with his spirit.

So how many rounds have we fought so far? I couldn’t remember. My joints were shaking as if they would fall off at any moment. But I still swung the beam until the end······

“under!”

At some point, a heartless laugh burst out from my lungs.

“?”

Suddenly, the rock that was rushing towards me, aiming for my neck, felt something strange and turned its head back.

Hooooooooooooooo—

I frowned slightly at the slowly spreading waves of yogi. While I was going crazy, the sage who had finished regenerating was slowly standing up.

His two regenerated hands were now intact. A large shadow reached up to my feet. The gaze of the wise man, connected to the giant creature by tentacles, looked down at me and the rock-thing in silence.

“······.”

While the rock-man was briefly distracted by the wise man, my trembling hands went to my waist, which was vibrating unusually.

I now held on tightly to the vibrating branch.

Let’s choose.

Since I have already reached the limit of what I can endure with the internal injuries I have received, if the wise man does anything here, I will die.

However.

······There was no need to worry about that.

Shuaaaaaaah—!

“!”

It happened in a hurry.

Thud!

A tree branch flew into the sage’s regenerated hand and was caught in an instant. The rock-man tried to burst it with his magic in the middle, but it was as fast as a ray of light and he was unable to block it.

yet.

The red eyeball’s essence that was contained there flowed into the sage’s hand without a trace. And then, as if it wasn’t enough, it began to suck up all of the sage’s remaining essence.

Crunch!

Soon, the tree branch that was filled with all the yogic energy was stuck in the ground. Then, the yogic energy flowed in in a vast circle and settled down, and the sage’s two eyes turned white. In addition, the giant creature the sage was riding crumbled like coal ash and sank to the ground.

······To me, the series of events seemed slow. I guess I was so focused that I didn’t even notice the turquoise magic falling from the sky.

Before I knew it.

Ttukbuk.

After completing a series of steps in an instant, the wise man came down to the ground with a faint smile on his face.

It was very bizarre.

For some reason, the sage’s eyes, which had been dyed white, had pupils, and they had become like human eyes. Even a three-year-old child could tell that something had changed significantly. His complexion was pale, but he didn’t feel the peculiar aura of a corpse.

Although things turned out differently than I had expected, I congratulated myself on the fact that my gamble wasn’t completely wrong. However, I didn’t let my guard down.

however.

Hooooooooooo······!

The space around the sage was filled with mana particles that seemed to tilt. The mana lightly covered the area and created a wind. My breathing, which had been mixed with a strong scent of blood, became easier and energy flowed into my dried-up energy veins.

“······.”

【······.】

Soon, the wise man faces a rock that spews out a massive amount of energy.

The wise man, who had the face of a relatively young man, looked around for a moment, met my eyes, and spoke in a rather calm tone. For someone of his age, his tone was four-dimensional and bright.

“For a moment, the undead spirits were driven away. But did the Three Lords really come here? There are only ‘two’ elders here, so it would be good if there was more support······.”

“?!”

Hwaaaaaaaah!!!

Drive this out? Two elders? The moment I was taken aback by the sage’s sudden words, the sage suddenly snapped his fingers.

Bang! As soon as the sound was heard, the world flashed brightly like the sun. Soon, in the blink of an eye, thick beams of light shot down from the sky to the ground.

······Endlessly.

Kugugugugugugug—

Hundreds of rays of light fell from the sky, carrying unfathomable magical power, tearing through the air and splitting the rock in half.

Tsk tsk—

The rock, split in half, roared in rage. The writhing flesh stretched out from the cross-section, trying to hold the split body together. A tremendous amount of energy rippled around it. However, the wise man smiled calmly and sighed in front of such a sight.

“I don’t think I can fight for long. It’s too much for me to fight two elders alone.”

I looked up and looked straight at the wise man who sighed.

I held onto the sword as tightly as I could as I watched his eyes, which had just returned to being human-like, slowly turning a milky color again.

Crunch-

Soon, my vision became a hazy blue-green.
