The World of Sound - Chapter 208

208
After Shin Seung’s disciple brought his master’s will, Cheon Hwa and Bukgung Yeon made a decision.
I decided to hurry up and head to the police station and close the door to the Demon Realm.
Even though it has only been open for a short time, there are monsters with this many numbers and powers swarming around, so it is impossible to even guess what kind of outrageous things will emerge when the boundary between the human world and the demon world collapses.
To be honest, Cheonhwa was confident in his position, but no one else could do that.
There was a possibility that all the cities would be destroyed by them, and in that case, Cheonhwa would not be able to enjoy many things, so they had no choice but to actively cooperate.
But there were things to do before that.
I had to watch over the black skies that were beginning to appear in various parts of the Central Plains, sort out the resurrected beings that were being born under them, and make sure that the Murim Alliance could function properly while they were away.
“Become a Buddha!”
Neither of them seemed to be easy with just the current power of the martial arts world, but Cheonhwa confidently stepped forward.
The first place we headed to was where the final battle with Cheonma took place.
In that place where the black sky had not yet reached, Cheonhwa consoled the vengeful spirits who had not yet left the underworld.
It would be more accurate to say that he chased her away rather than coaxing her.
Just as the spirit of the eunuch Cai Lun was forcibly restored to the state of enlightenment, the requiem of Cheonhwa was also forcibly restored to the state of enlightenment of the spirits of Cheonma, Ma-in, and the many people who were sacrificed to them.
I left it alone because forcing people to become Buddhas in this way was against the natural order, but given the circumstances, it was something I couldn’t help doing.
He then visited Shaolin and visited the tomb of the divine being, but was not able to achieve Buddhahood.
Because his soul had already disappeared into the sky without any need to force him to attain enlightenment.
“I guess I’ll have to leave the rest to the others.”
However, even though the biggest risk factor was removed, the danger in the Central Plains remained.
Even if it is not the land where the main forces of Cheonma and the Demonic Cult fell, there will be many masters who fell with resentment in the Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi regions that they pushed through, and the number of monsters will also steadily increase.
That’s why Cheonhwa thought about scattering the dark sky that had fallen, but it was no use.
It was possible to disperse them for a while, but they would soon return to their original state, and what was important was not the sky but the ground.
“If we don’t hurry, the rate of contamination will increase.”
The land was polluted.
The land is polluted and dying due to the energy flowing from the monsters, perhaps even from the demon realm.
In that dead land, the dead came back to life, and the sky was just a mere spectacle.
This means that although it has the power to strengthen the dead and monsters, it is not the core.
That’s why Cheonhwa didn’t even try hard.
After confirming that the Gate of the Demon Realm must be closed as soon as possible in order to slow down and stop the pollution and erosion of the land, I took a few more measures and then immediately set out on an expedition with Bukgungyeon to close the Gate of the Demon Realm.
“Quit!”
“Moooooooooooooo!”
Naturally, Brain and Moo-oh also joined the journey.
According to Shin Seung’s will, it takes two people to close the gates of the Demon Realm, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that only two people have to go.
However, when they heard the news of their departure, all the masters who had expressed their intention to join them, including Margin, were rejected outright.
Because it was not helpful and was just annoying.
Of course, if you wanted to make a nice statement, you could say that it was because they had to protect the Central Plains, but that was also true.
I couldn’t dare to spit it out because it was none other than Cheonhwa who said those words.
So, Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon set off, telling only a few people.
They mobilized the fastest ships and crews of the Jang River Strait and headed to Sacheon, and then to Seojang.
I escaped the Central Plains, which had become a place of chaos.
And others began to fill the gaps they left behind.
***
Anhui.
Black sky. Purple dead land.
It wasn’t just the two natural environments that created a scene that didn’t seem humane.
The sight of the monsters wandering around the dead land, searching for the living while receiving blessings like the curse of the black sky, seemed like a realm of magic itself.
“Prepare for battle!”
And most of those who prepared for battle to meet them did not look human either.
“Everyone… … crush them all!”
Those who stood without a soul took a stance according to the command of the leading margin.
Their numbers were not large, but the power felt from them was by no means negligible.
Tinkle!
Soon the battle begins, and as Margin leaps out from the front with his body dyed black, the ones standing there as heavy as lumps of iron also fly away.
What’s unusual is that what moves them isn’t just a simple command, but a certain ringing sound.
A zombie.
That’s right. Their true identities were not human, but zombies.
When the tomb of eunuch Cai Lun collapsed, it was thought that all the zombies had been crushed to death, but they were all revealed to the world.
Originally, they were forbidden to leave the tomb and their bodies would collapse and self-destruct, but thanks to Cheonhwa’s slight intervention and the sky that was as black as the dark clouds, they were able to operate outside and started to fight the monsters together with Majin.
“Kyahak!”
Ki-ki-ki-ki!
The monsters rushed at them, each using their weapons and parts of their mutated bodies as weapons, but it was no use.
The martial arts of the zombies, who rush to kill their enemies without feeling any pain, as they would only be scratched if they were cut or pushed back if they were struck, could only be a hundred against one, or even more.
Unless a master appears who has the power to cut them down and break them in one blow, the Jiangshi are the ones who can fight and crush the opponents without stopping no matter how many there are.
“Black Death Gangpa!”
Of course, there were a few monsters with that much power, but they were all torn to pieces by Majin.
With a body stronger than that of a zombie and overwhelming destructive power, he made it so that no monster would set foot on this cursed land.
“Whew. It really is endless. As for the other side… … there’s no need to worry.”
However, the army of monsters that rushed forward with only the instincts of killing and anger remaining was so great that even Marjin was tired of it.
Because of that, he couldn’t help but worry about other areas without him, but Margin quickly shook off his worries after glancing up at the distant sky.
Because there will be people there who are as good as you, or even better than you.
He took a deep breath again and began to crush the monsters that were rushing in.
Guangdong.
The monsters that flowed in from the desert eventually reached the sea. Fortunately, none of them crawled up from the sea, but since this was an area without any powerful waves, many civilians had to jump into the sea to escape the monsters.
“Shoot!”
Some people stood in the way of the flood, while others jumped into the sea to seek survival.
As I was preparing for the final battle that would determine life or death, a strong wind blew from the distant sea.
The arrows that surged in like a giant tidal wave pierced the monsters that were rushing in.
Looking back, I saw red bows rising from ships that still looked like dots in the distant sea.
“You idiots! This arrow has overcome even the sea breeze. Do you think you can dodge it?”
Blood Archery Group.
They were the ones who trained and defeated pirates together with Haenampa.
The arrows they fired broke the advance of the countless black monsters, and began to thin their numbers so quickly that it seemed as if they were being pushed back.
“Kkuek!?”
“Kkuiiiiit!”
And then, as the ship got closer to a certain range, something strange happened.
The monsters were screaming and falling, but the arrows that had taken their breath away were nowhere to be seen.
Intangible poetry.
The technique that is passed down as a legend among archers has been achieved by all members of the Blood Archers to some degree.
Every time the bowstring was fired, one or more monsters would fall down, and gradually stronger ones would come out, but it was the same.
At least one per foot.
An invisible arrow that could neither be seen nor stopped swept them away.
“Kyaararak!”
Some monsters were terrified by the massive damage that occurred in an instant, and some monsters were angry.
While they were in such a state of confusion, the offensive from the ship weakened.
This is because internal energy is shot instead of arrows, so internal energy consumption is extreme.
Those who sensed the change immediately started rushing in.
And then, a number of drones disembarked from the ship and drew their swords.
I ran towards them.
The unmanned troops of Haenampa.
The sword of Haenampa, which contains the sea, surged in like a wave.
Behind them, the Blood Archers’ arrows, which had been changed from intangible to regular arrows as if to assist them, poured down towards a further place.
Seomseo.
The people who took over the land of Shaanxi were a group of monsters with excellent regenerative powers.
By using his incredible resilience to quickly recover from any minor injury and to reattach any lost body part, he was able to pressure the martial artists by showing numbers close to that of Donggwijin, quickly forming a territory and pushing back the martial artists who were lacking in numbers.
Tsk tsk- tsk tsk tsk!
However, those guys were collapsing helplessly.
Because the wounded area froze and shattered without even having time to show its amazing resilience, its special feature and advantage, resilience, became useless.
“Crwaaaak!”
Thanks to this, the number of monsters that had been growing and piling up was rapidly reduced, but it was by no means a positive thing.
Slowly
This is because the bodies of those who had been writhing without losing their vitality even after being separated became entangled with each other, giving birth to a new monster.
Flesh.
A monster of such enormous and complex power that it could be called such was born.
Also, they were reborn as monsters that gained more power the more they merged, so much so that they were considered immortal.
“What a truly strange ability.”
“That’s right. They’re the weirdest creatures we’ve ever seen in the North Sea.”
However, the two women standing in front of him were indeed people of great beauty.
The two women, who were channeling the extreme negative energy and only releasing it through the tip of their swords, were not nervous at all, but only reacted with wonder at the sight of the gradually growing stronger men.
Because it has such overwhelming power.
“But these aren’t things I want to see for a long time. Let’s go, Ice Palace Lord.”
“Let’s do that. After inspection.”
The Northern Ice Princess and the Sword Princess.
They set foot on the Central Plains at the request of Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon, leading all their disciples.
Tsk tsk tsk-!
The Ice Palace Princess, who is also the mother of Bukgungyeon, freezes the flesh entirely.
It was a power that went beyond simply freezing and solidifying, and even destroyed each and every cell that made up the being.
That’s why he couldn’t recover or combine anymore.
Crunch-
It was the same for those who were attacked by the swordsman.
Their fighting styles were different yet similar, as they used the same powers, albeit in different ways.
The masters of the Seolsanpa and the Bukhae Ice Palace who followed them were also able to produce similar effects, although their powers were different.
The monsters that were too powerful for their power to work against were taken care of by the Sword Master and the Princess of the North Sea Ice Palace, so they were able to quickly eliminate the monsters that had been causing trouble and pushing the martial artists to the limit.
Sacheon.
Vampires were once considered the biggest headache in the Central Plains martial arts world, but there was one guy who was always mentioned alongside them.
It’s Langin.
It was a term referring to humans who were once human but turned into wolves after being attacked by a monster.
They don’t actively raise their power like vampires, and they don’t turn humans into monsters, but each one is powerful, and even if they’re not high-ranking, they can create powerful wraiths, so their power is bound to be strong.
However, when the guys who had been quiet for a while started to become active in earnest, something even scarier was discovered.
They began to control the beast-shaped monsters.
They possess the recklessness typical of beasts, but like vampires, they have considerable intelligence, so their commanding power cannot be ignored.
Many beast-like monsters followed them, and with their fierce charging and belligerence, they devastated everything they passed through, so the warriors of the Sacheon land who had already been swept away by the Demonic Cult had no chance of resisting.
They were being pushed back helplessly and started losing territory, but there were those who fought back on their behalf.
“They’re quite the rascals. It’ll be fun to tame them!”
Humans and spirits from Yunnan.
The men of the Southern Wild Beast Palace began to subdue them.
As they unleashed their powers, which were more specialized in dealing with beasts than humans, the monsters could not help but squirm like spoiled dogs.
“Don’t worry! I’m here to help you. Here, Miss Bukgungyeon. No, this is a letter from the leader of the martial arts world!”
However, the problem was that the Central Plains martial artists were also frightened by that sight. They had to join forces, but they were nervous about the spirits that looked as special as the monsters, and they were afraid even after confirming that they were from the Namman Beast Palace. However, they were able to open their hearts after Biyeon, who had remained in the Beast Palace, intervened.
When they found out that she was a member of the Bukgung Sega family, and that she was like a sister to the current leader of the martial arts world, Bukgung Yeon, they began to join with peace of mind.
The era of counterattack has now begun.
Since the Seowae Sagung was also an object of fear for the people of the Central Plains, the morale-boosting effect it had when it became an ally was bound to be extremely great.
Thanks to this, the number of people who are able to show off their spirit even in places where they are not present has increased.
Even when the rebellion of the Demonic Cult broke out, even the hermits who had not shown up before began to pour out in large numbers and fight against the monsters.
However, the number of enemies was hard to count, and their strength and abilities were monstrous, so I suffered many hardships, but I was able to gain the strength to endure for now.
At least until Cheonhwa and Bukgungyeon reach the gate of the Demon Realm.
They fought and persevered with one mind, believing that they, if it were them, would definitely end this situation.
And at that moment, Cheonhwa and his party, who had arrived at the West Gate, were facing a group of monsters that seemed to be a combination of all the monsters they had faced.
