Ice White God.
It was one of the most exquisite martial arts worthy of the name of divine art, but it was also a universal martial art that no martial artist in the North Sea had not mastered.
The only difference is how to interpret and learn it.
With a sword, with a palm, with a knife.
So, although they each displayed their skills differently based on the martial arts they had mastered, their goal of freezing and breaking the opponent was clearly the same.
Although it was the same martial art, it was shot at the enemies as if it was a passing technique that was planned from the beginning.
“Uh, that’s?!”
Cheeeeeeek-!!!
However, the opponent is not pushed back.
As if to counter the cold air radiating from the Ice Palace warriors, they began to unleash the deadly martial arts they had learned, each of them releasing crimson flames from their entire bodies.
“Devil’s cult!!”
It is called Seonghwa or Mahwa.
It meant one thing.
That they are demonic cultists.
The Demonic Cult has revealed its evil hand all the way to the North Sea.
“The devil’s cult?”
Cheonhwa’s eyebrows furrowed again at the sight of the demon cult members flexing their muscles as if they had no intention of hiding their identities.
The fact that the cultists have appeared here means that their purpose is clear.
“I see you figured it out.”
Asura statue.
I don’t know how, but it seems that they realized that the Asura statue was not in Bukgung Segae and that it had been moved to the Ice Palace in Bukhae.
First of all, the rumors that Cheonhwa spread through Haomun did not contain any information about the Ice Palace, so it was said that there were spies and such inside.
So, while the Bukgung Sega might be safe, the fact that it had infiltrated their ranks also meant that the Demonic Cult had been working in the shadows for quite some time.
Because only the direct descendants of the Bukgung family and a very small number of relatives know about the Ice Palace.
Whatever it was, it didn’t matter now.
All that matters is that they have appeared here and are after the Asura statue.
“This is not the place. This is bait.”
Still, the fact that he showed up here is a big deal.
Although they may be confident in their power, their intentions were clear, as they carried out the attack without hiding their identity, in order to heighten their vigilance.
This place is just bait.
Seongdong-gyeokseo.
They pretended to attack this place, but the real main force, the Mines, probably rushed to the treasure vault of the Ice Palace.
As it was said to be a sacred place, there must have been some defense, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Because he was a genius who pathologically hated having his things taken away.
“I’ll help you out!”
That’s why I declared my intention to join the battle immediately.
No need for permission from the story.
Because he decided to do so.
Because of this, Seolhwa and the other members of the North Wind Corps glanced at him, but they did not reject him in any way.
Because right now they feel like they are short of hands.
I didn’t care what happened to the sinners, who outnumbered the unmanned ones, but I couldn’t stand to see other Ice Palace unmanned people get hurt or lose their lives.
“It’s okay here. Better yet, over there!”
But there was something more urgent than that.
A disaster has occurred in the lake that serves as the food storage of the North Sea Ice Palace.
The level of the mines was quite high, above the peak, but it was not at a level that they could not handle, so Seolhwa pointed to the lake and shouted.
“hmm?”
Then it was clearly visible to Cheonhwa too.
The color of death that pollutes the lake and dyes the fish dead.
“Is it poison?”
It was poison.
They poisoned the lake.
The lakeshore, which was the main food source for the North Sea Ice Palace, was quickly dying of fish.
Seolhwa must have been shouting at Cheonhwa in a hurry to do something before the poison spread further.
The expectation was that if the method had already been used to scoop out fish from the water, it would be possible to push the poison out of the lake, if not purify it.
“I’ll leave this to you!”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
Cheonhwa also moved in that direction immediately because he realized the meaning.
However, since the battle with the mines was also quite fierce, I instructed Bukgungyeon to move separately.
If the incompetence of Bukgungyeon, who reached the peak of her power, is higher than the story of the Little Princess.
If she had intervened, the situation could have been turned around in an instant.
And indeed, from the moment she pulled out her beloved sword, Ice Spirit, the balance of the battle tilted drastically.
Simply pulling it out causes an incredibly thick ice spirit to emanate, so the Ice Palace warriors who have learned the Ice White Divine Art based on the Ice Spirit Spirit are automatically strengthened.
Of course, they were so surprised that they were unable to properly utilize their increased power, and they wasted time looking at Bukgungyeon, but they were also experts.
It didn’t take long for him to come to his senses again and start pressing his enemies.
“You’re being annoying.”
Meanwhile, Cheonhwa approached the lake.
There are mines on the lake side too, but they aren’t a problem.
Other Ice Palace warriors were also fighting them, and their level was not that high.
It seems like their mission was to release poison into the lake from the beginning, but the Ice Palace’s response was also impressive.
The acquisition of sinners.
They sent the criminals into the water, using them as tools to dilute the poison they had released into the lake.
Covering it with my body, drinking it with my mouth, and doing other absurd things, of course that alone wasn’t going to solve anything.
However, it was absurd that there were criminals who risked their lives without caring about anything, but Cheonhwa could not just stand by and watch, so he quickly tried to use his method.
Puhwaaaaaaaah-!!
“… … ?”
That was when.
The water from the lake rose in large quantities and flowed towards the land.
It was almost the same as the method used by Cheonhwa, but it wasn’t what Cheonhwa did.
Someone else got in first.
“you?”
It didn’t take long for me to realize who it was.
Because a golden turtle that was bound to catch your eye floated up to the surface of the water.
“Eternal gold ball!”
“The Guardian of the North Sea is with us!!”
“Fight! Kill!”
Eternal gold.
It was the guy I met at Dongjeongho.
He was also called a guardian deity in the North Sea.
For some unknown reason, the appearance of the Ice Palace warriors, who are closely related to the Ice Palace of the North Sea and are considered the best among the numerous spirits of the North Sea, has given strength to the Ice Palace warriors.
Just being there, just knowing that he’s there and watching over them, is a huge strength.
“Kku, Kkui?”
However, the guy actually recognized Cheonhwa and started to struggle in confusion.
It seemed like he was briefly contemplating whether he should run away, but he kept using his strength, glancing around to see if he thought protecting the lake was more urgent right now, or if he couldn’t just leave the Ice Palace warriors behind and disappear.
The poisoned lake water was scooped up and blown far away.
“I’ll help you first.”
At that time, Cheonhwa also helped out.
As I blew on the Ice Spirit Potion for a long time, the poisonous water that rose up froze in midair.
Even though it was pumped out of the lake, it was clear that it would contaminate the surrounding land and melt again and flow into the lake, so it was completely isolated.
After several such attempts, there were no more poisonous creatures threatening the lake.
Although it was isolated, it was away from the lake for the time being, so it would take time to purify itself.
“Die!!”
“Kkuit!”
Pfft! Pfft!
During the process, some of the mines rushed to kill or chase away the Mannyeongumgu, but it was in vain.
Not only can he not follow the eternal gold ball in the water, but he can also freely use the spirit of the spirit, so he can easily suppress even the most skilled players in terms of strength.
Thanks to that, the mine that was rushing in was hit by the water jet that the guy shot out and fell down, never to get up again.
The purifying energy of water.
That’s because it was maximized and emitted through the Eternal Golden Ball.
The unstable magic energy was washed away, and even the barely maintained balance was broken.
A little different, but it is the power of Parma that truly destroys the spirit of the devil.
The spirits of the Ice Palace warriors who witnessed that power rose to their peak.
I pushed them hard and killed them so hard that even the Mannyeongumgu didn’t have to come out much.
“It looks like things are starting to settle down here.”
The situation was roughly being sorted out.
The level of the minions that attacked this place was considerable, and they were difficult to deal with because they even lit up the magic fire and risked their lives, but even without the activity of the Mannyeon Geumgu, Bukgungyeon’s power was too overwhelming.
Even if he had lit a firework, it wouldn’t have had any effect on her unless it was at the same extreme.
No, I don’t know if I could rape her even if it was at the same level in this North Sea.
The owner of the Ice Spirit Body, who is said to have received the blessing of the Ice Spirit, has come to a place that can be called the paradise of the Ice Spirits.
That’s why even though Bukgungyeon was running wild right now, her energy didn’t seem to be being used up much.
Even if you pour it out recklessly, it will recover quickly.
“That’s… … !”
Piyuwoong-
Phew!
Just then, as Cheonhwa had expected, another flare went off from a different direction. If the previous one was red, this one was blue.
However, Seol-hwa’s expression hardened even more after seeing that.
He showed a bewilderment that was incomparable to before, and cut off the necks of all the minions who were trying to subdue him, and called for the North Wind Force.
“Gather! Support the Holy Land now!!!”
Holy Land.
Because the place attacked is the sacred land of the North Sea people.
Not far from the mine, it was the place where the power of the ice and the ice jade originated.
Even though it has lost its power now, the meaning it holds is still so great that even the hands and feet of a master who is as good as a tale become dizzy.
This time, without even thinking about taking care of Cheonhwa and his party, he started running towards the Holy Land with all his might.
“Let’s go too.”
Thanks to that, the sack of barley that had been placed on the lake was just a bunch of straw, but of course, I had no intention of just waiting around.
Because the holy land was a treasure trove where they sealed the statue of Asura.
“Kiyut!”
“Noooo!!”
Cheonhwa immediately signaled to Bukgungyeon and everyone else and prepared to head to the holy land.
Noeryeong and Moo-oh, who had been dealing with the minions by Bukgungyeon’s side, responded to the call with all their might and answered with all their might.
“Kyu, kyu!”
“Kkui? Kkuiiiit!!”
The moment he was about to move with full force again, it was Noeryeong who grabbed Cheonhwa’s collar.
As the guy pointed towards the lake, he started crawling towards it, shouting as if he wanted to be taken with him.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s the guardian deity of the North Sea, or because he has a good relationship with the Ice Palace and wants to help them, but he’s incredibly slow.
In the water, he can move at a speed that even experts who have specialized in watercraft have difficulty keeping up with, but on land, it’s a different story.
“No, let’s go by ourselves.”
“Kkiyu! Woo!”
“Kkuit! Kkuit!!”
“Wow! Wah!”
Of course, Cheonhwa refused.
Because I couldn’t carry around such a big load in my busy schedule.
However, there was a bond between spirits, so even Noeryeong and Moo-oh came forward and continued to hold on to Cheonhwa.
“What? Is there a way? We don’t have time… … Alright. Brain, Moo-oh. You guys figure it out. I’ll go first.”
In this situation, Cheonhwa couldn’t just refuse.
After telling them that they could do whatever they wanted without interfering with him, he flew away with Bukgungyeon.
“Kkuiit!”
“Kyuuhuhuhu!!”
And after a while, Cheonhwa looked back as she felt an energy quickly approaching her.
And he made a bewildered expression.
The method the guys were talking about was to use the ice rink.
The Mannyeon Geumgu was approaching at incredible speed, curled up inside its shell.
The brain spirit was riding on top of it and screaming in excitement.
It seemed like the guy was giving directions from above, but Moo-oh’s appearance and role were also quite spectacular.
“Muhihihiing!!!”
Gulp-
The guy also seemed to be chasing after him by sliding along the ice instead of running, but the moment the man-year-old raccoon slowed down, he jumped up and kicked him again with his hind legs.
Then, at an incredible speed, the Mannyeongumgu and its shell accelerated again.
It was absurd, but they were satisfied with it.
As for me, my speed is faster than that of most light fighters and I don’t get in their way.
“Let’s speed things up too.”
“Yes, go.”
Cheonhwa shook his head slightly at the somewhat comical sight and performed his lightness attack even faster.
Since I might be stopped if I went ahead, I followed closely behind Seolhwa and Bukpungdae and followed them all the way to the sacred and forbidden ice cave.
“Kuaaaah!!!”
I picked up my pace, but there was already a disaster unfolding there.
A great number of unmanned and sinners are throwing themselves at the enemy to block them.
Although they are sinners, they once lived in the Ice Palace and still have deep affection for it.
That is why I volunteered to become a sinner.
Since they were such people, there was no way they could allow the likes of Mines to set foot in the sacred land of the Ice Palace in the North Sea.
At first glance, the number and power of the mines were incomparable to those who had attacked the lake, but they were unable to hide their bewilderment at the defense that threw its body into the Donggwijin without hesitation.
Because I never thought they would try so desperately to stop me.
They too are cultists, or so they are called fanatics, but there is something more solid and fundamental about the people of the North Sea.
“Where the hell do you think you are, running wild like a mine!!!”
In that situation, Seolhwa and Bukpungdae joined in.
When one of the most powerful members of the Ice Palace force, each of whom was at least at their peak and many at their peak, rushed in, the hands and feet of the rampaging minions could not help but become dizzy.
It might be different if you light the magic fire, but the magic fire is the last resort.
It was impossible to use it indiscriminately, as it was a flame that fueled one’s own life.
Even among those who were permitted to do so, there were not many.
“That’s stupid.”
However, Cheonhwa, who arrived slightly late after following them, clicked his tongue at Seolhwa and Bukpungdae’s stupidity as soon as he checked the situation.
At first glance, the battlefield looked evenly matched, but with the addition of the North Wind Force, the Mines seemed to be pushed back, but in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that there are almost no mines that fall right away.
It was also strange that they consistently took a defensive stance without responding.
I’m not giving it my all.
Didn’t even gather enough power.
It’s not just the Ice Palace warriors or sinners who are guarding this place who are holding out and buying time.
They too were killing time as if they were waiting for something.
As they threw themselves with all their might, they acted as if their ankles were caught.
“Gaga. Can I help you?”
“No. Wait. Let’s leave the small stuff to the small stuff. The real thing will appear soon.”
Seolhwa and Bukpungdae, who were in the middle of a fierce battle with their eyes wide open, seemed not to notice, but Cheonhwa clearly felt it.
The masters of Hwagyeong are walking out from inside the ice cave.
It wasn’t just one, it was many.
Even among the Three Kings of Heaven, there are some who are not of the Hwagyeong rank, but among the people the Demonic Cult sent here, there are three masters who have reached the Hwagyeong rank.
‘Is it a trap?’
So it seemed like this raid was not only aimed at capturing the Asura statue, but also at eliminating someone for sure.
The North Sea Ice Palace, or yourself.
Otherwise, it would not have made sense to deploy three masters of the flower world at the same time.
‘I’m sure there’s nothing I can’t do, but it won’t be easy.’
Then, would he really be able to deal with three masters of Hwagyeong at the same time?
Honestly, I am confident.
But it was difficult to be certain.
Because they don’t know what martial arts they have learned, they may have learned the secrets of wave motion and prepared countermeasures against the Heavenly Sound Art.
In the end, we have no choice but to stick together.
Cheonhwa squared his shoulders and looked at the people leisurely walking out from inside.
They also appeared, looking at Cheonhwaman from afar.
However, there is nothing in particular in hand.
It seemed that he had either not found the Asura statue or had not entered the sacred cave properly.
I think there will be devices such as formations in place.
Is that why?
Their gaze shifted to Seolhwa.
The strongest and most authoritative of the Ice Palace warriors gathered here.
He started to get angry right away, as if he was trying to make her open up.
That was the beginning of the real fight.
