The World of Sound - Chapter 117
Only Krnovel
“Do you like that?”
Cheonhwa, who had noticed a strangely-looking unidentified armor, immediately swung his palm to knock it out.
I wanted to take it off right away and see how it was made, but since that wasn’t possible, I decided to subdue it first.
Bam!!
White and black grains flew out of the bastard’s mouth.
It was teeth and dogma.
Fortunately, Solitude seemed to have already died, so if I could just remove the dogma and the needle, I could torture him to get answers.
He was also a top-notch expert, and had a strong will to bite anyone at any time, but he wouldn’t be able to withstand it if Cheonhwa decided to subdue his spirit.
“Ugh!”
In that one room, a master who could have formed a family fell to the ground like a little girl.
“damage!!”
At that moment, Cheonhwa’s expression changed.
As soon as they screamed, a huge explosion engulfed them.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang-!!!
Big bang.
It was as if hundreds of blast bombs had exploded simultaneously.
An explosion so large that it vaporized the entirety of the not-so-small object engulfed everyone inside.
“Shit.”
In it, Cheonhwa appeared, covered in soot, breaking through the smoke.
At the moment of the explosion, he tried to offset the shock by expanding his sound wave, and although he was partially successful in doing so, he was ultimately unable to stop the explosion itself.
Because the guy blew up not only himself, but the entire military.
It was as if he had been working on it while acting as a servant, and everything in this military unit was in a state where it could explode if he gave the order.
The moment the guy fell and touched the ground, he spasmed out a burst of energy like a detonator, and although it didn’t reach everything the order had prepared, it exploded with its power through a chain reaction explosion.
It seemed like this was the strange feeling of alienation I felt when I entered the military base.
“You sound like a stupid old man!”
It was his own fault, but there was room for excuses.
I never thought that they would have mastered the martial arts of the Bokma.
I had already tried to detonate the explosive in the mountain, but I thought that was all. I didn’t think that he would be fully skilled in the explosive technique.
Since it was the martial arts of the Bokma, it was strange that it was taught to someone other than his disciples, so it was excluded from the calculations.
But this was not enough to merely detonate what the bomb had prepared.
If it was a method of forcing nature into you like the ones I saw on the mountain, you would have noticed it right away.
However, this was a painstaking preparation achieved through the unique use of the bomber’s internal energy.
That is why it was able to exert such a tremendous destructive power while being secretive.
“Eun-gong, it’s okay here!”
The only fortunate thing is that it wasn’t just Cheonhwa that defended properly.
Just before the explosion, the children, Noe-ryeong, and Moo-oh gathered around Bukgungyeon, and she drew in as much of the Ice Spirit’s energy as possible and protected everyone with the Ice Spirit’s power.
Thanks to that, the casualties were limited to just one person.
“My officer, my officer… …!”
I ended up saving the manager’s life unintentionally.
“Should I call this a blessing… … .”
Instead, everything else was destroyed terribly.
What had been indifferent was now scorched to the point where it was difficult to find its form, and only one thing remained unharmed.
“At least I saved this.”
It was the unidentified armor that the guy was wearing.
It seemed to have been partially damaged by the explosion a while ago, but surprisingly, its shape is still quite well maintained.
Even while maintaining the waves that Cheonhwa emitted on her own, which made her feel strange.
However, it was not all that beneficial as I lost the opportunity to be interrogated again.
As I shook my head, thinking that they were quite vicious men, Bukgungyeon, who was calming down the surprised children inside the protective wall of the Ice Dragon River, raised his voice in a serious tone.
“It’s really a big deal that the martial arts of the Bokma are continuing. I heard that the human and material damage caused by it in the past was enormous… … And maybe it’s not just that one problem.”
The martial arts of the Bokma have been revealed to the world again.
Since it fell into the hands of evildoers who were trying to cause chaos in the martial arts world, it was difficult to even guess how much damage this would cause.
But the reason her complexion was worse was because it wasn’t just the martial arts of the bomb and the bomb.
What if the martial arts of the past masters, Madu, who made a name for themselves and then disappeared, fell into their hands?
What if we trained unmanned vehicles that mastered it?
It was truly the beginning of an era of great chaos.
Even if the Black Alliance or the Jeongcheon Alliance steps forward, or even if the two join forces to form the Murim Alliance, it won’t be easy to stop them.
“It doesn’t matter. They’re just losers anyway.”
But Cheonhwa was confident.
Aren’t those who are considered great masters of the past and great martial arts heroes just names that eventually disappeared without being able to conquer the world?
I had no intention of being affected by the martial arts of those losers.
I didn’t even think that would happen.
However, what was concerning was this armor.
Although the power of the Heavenly Sound Divine Art was not complete, it felt like a bigger task for Cheonhwa to figure out the identity and principles of this armor that had scattered some of it than for them all to rush in.
“What, what is this… … Director Chae?”
“What are those?”
As I was about to lift the armor to examine it in detail, a voice that could not hide its bewilderment was heard from somewhere.
“Huh, Black Dust?”
It seems that the Black Martial Arts Commanders who were supposed to come today were late in arriving at the military headquarters.
They were quite embarrassed to see the officers and directors who were supposed to treat them with great respect looking so pitiful, but they seemed to have some sense.
Although he was surprised and panicked, he was cautious and glanced at Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon, who had not suffered any damage in the midst of this huge explosion.
“Great war!!!”
In the midst of all this, the only one who still hadn’t come to his senses was the director.
Even though he was older than me, he ran towards me, crying like a child, and grabbed the trouser legs of the Black Swordsman.
“Help me. These guys are taking my… …!”
Do you really think that someone like Heukmumun can stand up to Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon?
No. Even though he had no eyes, he was still a second-rate warrior, so there was no way he could have thought that was possible.
However, the reason they showed such words and actions was because they believed that it was not the Heukmumun but their supporters who were behind them.
Black magic.
Because Heukmumun was also one of the places that joined the Black Alliance.
Touching them means touching the Black Alliance, so they plan to use the Black Martial Arts Clan’s power to pressure Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon.
“Director of Chae Gwan-jang… … .”
“Great Swordsman… … .”
Then the men stared at the director, who was sobbing and complaining about the injustice.
And then he suddenly raised his fist.
“… … ?”
“Whose life is this senile old man trying to ruin!! Let go! Don’t let go of this?!”
Puk puk pubububububu-!!!
What followed was a brutal beating.
As expected of a group of black magicians for whom intuition is as important as their lifeline, they immediately realized that Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon were not their opponents and changed their stance.
“What are you?”
As the children became frightened by their beatings, which became harder and more brutal as they noticed Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon’s expression, Cheonhwa greeted them with an indifferent expression.
“We are nothing. We were just passing by. Don’t worry about us!”
Then, the men, with their spirits raised and the veins in their necks rising, denied any connection with the director.
“Did you say Black Moon? Why, take the kids?”
But that’s nonsense that won’t even work.
From the moment I entered this place, from the moment I started to control the kitchen, there was absolutely no way I could not be involved.
“Oh, no. That’s not it… … .”
That’s why the guys noticed again.
From now on, you’ll have to choose your words carefully.
If they say even one wrong word, not only their lives but also the position of the Black Muteum could be in danger.
Normally, I would have believed in the name of the Black Martial Arts Association and the strong support of the Black Alliance that I had recently joined, but this was after seeing an unbelievable explosion.
I had seen with my own eyes those who were standing there, intact.
Even if they were afraid of the name of the Black Alliance, they were far away and these people were right in front of them, so they had no intention of risking their precious lives to test it.
‘A man and a woman. And two beasts. These are definitely… … .’
Besides, they were the ones who had checked the official document sent down from the Black Alliance before coming here.
I almost missed it and just left, but I heard about it after procrastinating because there was no need to visit an insignificant official on time.
One man, one woman.
The document states that if you find them, you must absolutely not cause any conflict and must report it.
If you break this, you can be expelled from the Black Alliance, and since you have to report it directly to the nearest Black Alliance branch manager, you can guess how important it is.
They thought they would never encounter them, but it was definitely them in front of them.
That meant that if I could just get through this situation well, I might get a chance to make a big achievement.
“Okay. Take it.”
“Thank you!”
While he was hesitating and choosing his words to win their favor, Cheonhwa was the first to give them a refreshing answer.
The plan is to take the children as originally planned.
Then Bukgungyeon was surprised and called him, but the Black Martial Arts students could not readily agree to that.
It’s because I wonder if I can really take this.
Although they were also martial artists, they knew how eccentric and twisted the authors of the so-called martial arts masters were, so they couldn’t figure out what was going on and just blinked with a tearful expression.
“Well, then… … .”
“But if any of these children get hurt, you’ll have to take responsibility. It seems like Bing Bong here is very attached to the children.”
“Eek?!”
“Rain, Bing Bong!”
If this is the case, it is gambling.
At the moment when they were about to close their eyes and accept it, Cheonhwa hurled a threat that wasn’t really a threat at them.
You may not want to treat children as expendable items, but from the position of teaching martial arts, how can you not harm even a single hair on their head?
That’s impossible.
It was almost like a threat to take me away and leave me alone.
I was surprised at those words, but I was startled again by the introduction that followed.
Bingbong? I knew the characteristics of those who were looking for them in the wilderness, but I didn’t know their true identities, so I felt like my soul was running away.
Even if they didn’t threaten or anything like that, if it was Bingbong or Bukgung Sega, it was a family that even the Black Demon Clan, let alone the Black Demon Clan, couldn’t do anything carelessly.
Besides, didn’t Bingbong recently display some powerful martial arts skills that were at their peak at the martial arts competition?
After attending the martial arts competition, Moon-ju had been talking about her beautiful and dazzling appearance and martial arts skills for almost a month, so it was impossible not to know.
“Oh, no. I won’t take them. The children’s qualities… … Ahem! I don’t think a third-rate sect like ours would be able to handle it!”
Because of that, they immediately lay flat on their stomach.
They declared that they were a third-rate sect and would not take children.
It was a great insult and humiliation, but it was a hundred times better than death.
Even if Moon-ju knew this fact, he was confident that he could confront her.
I wonder if you could have told him in front of him that you would take the children.
Rather, if they took the children, they would have to do everything they could to help them without harming even a single hair, so it would have been a hundred or a thousand times better for the Black Moon clan.
“Really? Then I can’t help it. Then what I’m saying here is… … your area?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
Cheonhwa smiled as if she had expected that, and asked again. She briefly summarized the relationship between this place and Heukmumun, and continued speaking as if everything was going well.
“Then I’ll take over? If you have any complaints, tell them to come. Whether you’re the leader of the clan or the Black Alliance, you can bring them all.”
He wants to take charge of this place.
Since the military and sects were clearly different, they could have opted out of the power struggle between the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance if they wanted to, but on the other hand, there were many who wanted to be incorporated into one faction or were incorporated into another.
This is because most of the places were originally set up by military officers who descended from the Gupa Ilbang or by military officers who were trained by them.
Since it wasn’t a shabby military base located in such a remote mountain village, there were many people who wanted to enter the military base because it had to have a good reputation.
So, even if Cheonhwa declared that he would take over this place, no one would be able to raise an objection.
The owner, Chae Gwan-jang, also.
“Uh, uh. Then, please take me in… … .”
As if he had no clue, he intervened at a strange point when Cheonhwa said he would take this position.
It’s not that I’m rejecting it.
Because it is already a hollow and empty space.
Even if they tried to rebuild it, it would take a long time to get back to how it was before, and seeing how helpless it was in front of the real masters, it was questionable whether the children would want to continue going.
But there was hope if it was under the name of Cheonhwa.
Even those Black Martial Arts students bow their heads and cannot even raise their heads. If they were to come under the command of a master, and if they were to form a relationship with Bingbong Bukgungyeon, they would not be able to rebuild, but rather enjoy an overwhelming power greater than before. So, they held vain hopes.
“Hmm. But it’s nothing special. I guess I’ll just throw it away.”
“Huh?! Then what should I do… …!”
But Cheonhwa didn’t deal with him.
I said I would accept it first, but then declared that I would throw it away.
While the director was fumbling around, not knowing what to do or what would happen to him, Cheonhwa spoke to the Black Martial Arts students once again.
“But it would be a shame to just throw it away, so how about you buy it?”
“We… … you say? We’ll buy it! We’ll buy it!”
This sword is already in my possession, but it is useless, so I am telling you to buy it from Heukmumun.
There was no such thing as a strong man like this, but even though the original owner was alive and well with his eyes wide open, no one cared.
The Black Martial Arts members quickly accepted the offer so as not to go against Cheonhwa’s wishes in order to survive.
“But, by the way, the price is… … .”
The only problem is that they don’t have the authority or money to do that. Of course, if you tell them in the text, they’ll have to take responsibility for it regardless of their authority.
This is because they are currently representing the Black Martial Arts Clan, and if they refuse or go against their wishes, it is clear that not only will they be punished, but the Black Martial Arts Clan will also be held responsible.
However, I was worried inside that Cheonhwa would offer such an absurd price, so I asked her quietly. Cheonhwa smiled happily as if she liked my refreshing answer.
“I’ll give it to you at a special price. Just give me everything you have.”
The proceeds from the sale of the goods were all the money they had.
In exchange for losing all the money they had originally brought to buy the children and all their personal savings, they were able to take over the ownership of this empty land.
Of course, it wasn’t a lot of money, but it was enough for the time being.
Because the money was meant to be returned to the children and their parents.
“Okay, here’s a refund. This affair is now ruined. It was clearly our fault, so we have to pay a penalty.”
I don’t know exactly how much money the kids have been giving to this officer and that officer, but I’m sure they learned something, so this should be enough for now.
The director of Chae Gwan-jang, who was trying to sell the children to the Sapa as swordsmen, became penniless.
The ownership of the sword has already been taken by the Black Swordsmen, and even if you beg them, they will not give it back.
Strictly speaking, the Black Mute are the same guys, but since this has served as a warning, it will be difficult for them to easily attempt similar things.
Cheonhwa and his party, who had escaped the inn like that, glared at the men who wanted to invite them to the Black Martial Arts Club and then left the village.
This time too, it was expected that there would be eyes watching them from somewhere, but since they didn’t make any noise, it was difficult to find them.
Instead, we were able to obtain a few clues that could help us to follow their tails.
The Bokma, the masters of the previous generation who disappeared one day, the veins and the dragon’s blood.
If you combine these well and dig, you should be able to find their traces.
At least I’ll get another chance to step on your tail.
Although he vowed at that time that he would never miss it, Cheonhwa did not immediately send a messenger to Haomen to ask for their information.
He wants their information, but more people want it than he does.
‘I can’t just give away such advanced information.’
So it was they, not me, who had to pay the information fee.
Whether it’s Haomen, Gaebong, Jeongcheonmaeng, or Heukdomaeng.
Perhaps because they would have asked for various information on his behalf, Cheonhwa did not necessarily turn to Guiyang County, where the Haomen’s main branch was located.
We moved towards Maga Iron Fence as originally planned and checked out our newly acquired loot.
The armor he left behind.
I began to examine it closely, feeling eerie just by looking at it and the waves it emitted giving off an ominous feeling.
“This is… … .”
It was only after a moment that a groan-like exclamation escaped Cheonhwa’s mouth as he began to dig into the secret contained therein, using all of his abilities as a craftsman and as a warrior.
