Doo-wook doo-wook doo-wook doo-wook
The long roar of the North resonates throughout the desert.
Some monsters that sensed the power contained in the sound retreated on their own, but the number of monsters that followed the sound was overwhelmingly greater.
In a way, it could be seen as them retreating in fear of the army of monsters.
But what’s unusual is that at the center of this massive army of monsters are not monsters, but humans.
“I didn’t know it was possible to control monsters… … That’s amazing. Gaga.”
This is Cheonhwa’s party.
Countless signs collapsed during Cheonhwa’s first demonstration of completing the Toryeonggo, but soon after Cheonhwa began emitting different waves, the signs that gathered again began to show strange reactions.
He followed the heavenly flower as if he were under his control.
He opens the path according to his will and turns into a sand wave, pushing them up like a cauldron and transporting them to the desired place.
Plus, there were countless other characters escorting them, so they didn’t have to worry about being attacked by other monsters.
“It may not work for everyone, but I think it might work.”
In fact, it was only a prediction and speculation whether it would be possible, but it was successful in the end.
“This was a bit unexpected though.”
However, even after gaining control of the signs, there were problems.
In this vast desert, which is like a vast ocean, there is no way to find the place where the gate to the Demon Realm is located.
Shin Seung’s will did not include any exact location, and even when he gave orders to the people, there was no movement.
So I thought I had to search all over the desert, but I found the answer in an unexpected place.
Woof! Woof!
It was the Asura statue that was right in my arms.
The guy let out a wave that sounded like a cry.
It wasn’t hard to tell that it was some kind of resonance, since it was none other than Cheonhwa.
Realizing that he was resonating with something of the same kind, Cheonhwa immediately turned in that direction.
It was unknown whether the object of this resonance was the gate of the Demon Realm or whether he knew its location, but that was all he could do for now.
So I immediately increased my speed and headed towards the object of resonance, and I was able to find it.
A fairly large fortress that stands strong, enduring the sandstorms of the desert.
“I think I found the right one?”
Of course, there are towns and cities in the desert too.
All the places I saw on my way here were already occupied by monsters, completely destroyed, and scorched earth, but if they had such a strong fortress, they could easily hold out and hold out.
In the case of the bandit group called Gwangpungsa, which is famous even in the Central Plains, each member is known to have powerful martial arts beyond the peak, so it cannot be said that the martial arts of the desert are all that weak.
But even Bukgungyeon, Noeryeong, and Moo-oh, who were not Cheonhwa, could be sure of it the moment they saw them.
That they are not your average desert minority.
“You’ve tamed… the monsters.”
Because there were things that could be considered evidence scattered all around the castle.
They were monsters.
There were many monsters of various types and strengths, not just signs.
Yet not a single one attacks the citadel.
Rather, it was humans who appeared to have emerged from the citadel, controlling them, training them, and making them do as they pleased.
It’s unlikely that they figured out how to tame the monsters by accident or by brute force.
It might be possible for some, but the monsters surrounding the castle were estimated to be hundreds of different types, and their number alone could easily be counted in the tens of thousands.
Those guys discovered the army of Cheonhwa and Sain.
At that moment, he growled with obvious hostility.
“They must be the ones who opened the gates of the Demon Realm. At least they have something to do with it.”
What it meant was simple.
They opened the gates of the devil’s realm.
Or it was clear that he was closely related to the guy who opened the door, or those guys.
Woohoo!
As if to confirm that the thought was correct, the Asura statue vibrated.
Cheonhwa’s eyes narrowed as he saw the resonating sight with the guys.
“Demonic cult? No, it’s similar, but it seems different.”
“… … I’ve heard. They say that there are people with the same roots as the Demonic Cult who have taken up residence somewhere in Daemak.”
Because the aura they gave off was very familiar.
When Cheonhwa tilted his head, sensing a similar but different internal energy disposition to that of the Demon Cultists, Bukgungyeon came to mind and added his words.
There is a sect that originated from the same root as the Demonic Cult.
Although it has never been seen in the Central Plains, I recalled information that it is located somewhere in this great place and has considerable influence.
“The name is… … Ah! That’s right. Asura Blood Sect. That’s the name.”
“Asura Blood Sect? Hmm… … ?”
Then, when the names they used to refer to themselves were mentioned, Cheonhwa’s expression became strange.
It was quite coincidental that the name ‘Asura’ was used.
‘Is that so?’
Only then was the mystery solved.
Why does the Asura statue resonate with those guys?
That was because they were using the power of Asura Pacheonmu and Ilmae.
Judging from the level of martial arts felt, it may not be as good as Asura Pacheonmu, but the result was similar.
“This might not be as easy as I thought.”
They learned a martial art similar to the Asura Pacheonmu that the demonic cult members were searching for, but they didn’t seem to be much stronger than the demonic cult members.
The magic arts that the Demonic Cult independently developed were powerful in the first place, and although some of the secrets of the Asura Pacheonmu may have been incorporated into the martial arts they learned, there is a big difference in the power of the waves that makes it difficult to compare.
Instead, one thing was similar.
The spirits of Hwaryeong.
I felt a strong spirit of fire from them, as if they had been given the power of Holy Fire or Magic Fire through the Holy Grail.
Maybe it’s because this is a desert area filled with the energy of the Hwaryeong, but they all use the power of the Hwaryeong equally.
Looking at it, Cheonhwa smiled meaningfully.
If my guess is correct, this place will be easier to clean up than you think.
“Gaga. They’re coming!”
That’s when they started to move first.
After discovering the signs and confirming the presence of Cheonhwa and his party, someone gave the order to attack from inside the castle.
At that command, tens of thousands of monsters flew at once.
He began to rush forward with murderous intent, intending to annihilate the signs and kill Cheonhwa and his party.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo – Doo doo!
In time, Cheonhwa also lightly struck the drum.
He gave the order to fight against the signs.
The number of monsters is large, but the number of signs is also not small.
Moreover, if you fail to properly destroy the source, it will recover and be revived at any time.
Sometimes they would unite as one, sometimes they would scatter, and they would transform into different forms to face their opponents. Even though they were quite powerful monsters, it was not easy to overcome them.
But it was also true that it was slowly but surely collapsing.
Some monsters seem to be helpless against the signs, but there are quite a few that find a way or can destroy the signs with their own abilities, such as the dragon.
The soldiers, who were encouraged by the cheering drums from Toreong High School, rushed forward without sparing their bodies, but it seemed like it was only a matter of time before they were eventually overcome.
“There are so many of them. It would be quite a hassle to deal with them all.”
Bukgungyeon frowned at the sight.
Even though we are holding off quite well and reducing the number of enemies, we know that we will eventually be pushed back.
Cheonhwa also answered in the same way and is not coming forward yet to save his strength, but he asked Cheonhwa if he should come forward and deal with the monsters.
“What should I do?”
“Um, like this?”
At that moment, Cheonhwa took out the Holy Grail from her bosom.
He smiled at Bukgungyeon, who was looking puzzled, and rubbed the mouth of his glass to gain strength.
“Keep, keaaaah!”
Whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, a large fire broke out from the citadel.
The bodies of the Asura cult members who controlled the monsters were burned.
Bukgungyeon looked back at Cheonhwa with surprised eyes, but in reality, he had done nothing special.
Because it only brought out a little bit of the spirit energy inherent in their bodies.
That’s why it didn’t consume a lot of internal energy, and it could affect multiple people at the same time.
“Key, key?!”
“Kyahahahaha!”
Thanks to this, the monsters who lost their commander were freed from control.
As with the dragon, they had no tolerance for other monsters, so chaos immediately broke out.
A slaughterhouse opened up where people killed each other, and some of the monsters who loved human flesh returned and chewed up and devoured those who were their masters.
In the process, they were defeated by those who resisted, and were turned into charcoal by the burning spirit’s energy.
“Let’s go. They’re having fun among themselves, so there’s no need to interfere.”
Meanwhile, Cheonhwa, Bukgungyeon, and Noeryeong climbed onto Muoh’s back.
I started running along the path that the signs had opened.
“Moooooooooooooo!”
Tadah!
The path in the sand wasn’t a simple straight line.
It stretched straight up toward the sky, and as Mu-o followed it, he kicked it and flew up, and even the fairly high castle wall passed under his feet in an instant.
Kuung!
“Muhihihi!”
Mu-o, who had made a crazy leap by running over the wall, laughed as if it was fun and exciting and started running again.
Already, flames were rising from various places inside the castle, and the monsters that had been raised inside were committing a massacre, but they were no obstacle to them.
Since they are people who move only by instinct, no one dares approach them even if they feel the energy they emit.
If you have intelligence, you can move to avoid them as much as possible, and if you can’t avoid them and get in their way, the brain will burn them or Moo-oh will blow them away.
In that way, Cheonhwa and his party were able to enter the inner castle in one breath.
“I’ll take care of it!”
As they entered, the elite of the Asura Blood Cult greeted them.
Cheonhwa tried to burn them using the power of the Holy Grail, but those who reached the peak level resisted.
Rather, he used that as an opportunity to gather all the accumulated energy of the spirit and rush towards them.
But, of course, they are no match for each other.
Bukgungyeon, who had rushed out first without even being able to do anything, swept them away.
If they deal with Hwaryeong, Bukgungyeon is a Bingryong body.
Although it was a place where Hwaryeong’s energy was strong, the overwhelming power and fundamental difference could not be bridged.
In an instant, the elite of the Asura Blood Cult, including those who appeared to be elders, were slaughtered, but strangely, the person who appeared to be the leader was nowhere to be seen.
Did it run away? Or was it somewhere else from the beginning?
“The gate of the devil is… … .”
Naturally, the latter comes to mind.
There may be an Asura Blood Cult leader among those who fell like straw, but the gate to the Demon Realm they are looking for is nowhere to be seen.
“It’s below.”
At that moment, Cheonhwa, who had been concentrating for a moment and observing something, opened her mouth.
A strange wave was felt underground.
‘What? This is strange… … .’
It’s a wave that’s strong yet hazy, familiar yet somehow unfamiliar.
Where have I felt this before? Cheonhwa hesitated for a moment, but it didn’t matter anyway.
Because it’s something you can check for yourself.
Cheonhwa, who had cleared all of his inner strength, immediately led his party underground. Various dirty magics and other techniques tried to stop them, but of course, it was impossible to even make them hesitate.
As they went down, tearing apart the spells and formations in one go, a rather gruesome sight greeted them.
“A prison? No, it seems like a torture chamber… What could it be?”
The first impression Bukgungyeon gave was that it was like a brain prison or a torture chamber.
That’s understandable, as there were corpses strewn about, blood presumed to be theirs, body parts presumed to be theirs, and iron bars, handcuffs, and torture devices that seemed to have been installed to imprison and subdue someone were visible here and there.
However, the living are not visible.
Without even looking for the gate to the Demon Realm, scenes unfolded one after another that made it seem like this was the Demon Realm.
“It’s further inside.”
But Cheonhwa didn’t even pay attention to those things.
Because the waves I felt inside were still weak, but they felt closer and closer.
Kook
And the closer I got to it, the stronger my hands became.
‘Am I nervous?’
Then suddenly, Cheonhwa realized something new as he felt sweat on his hands.
That you are nervous.
It meant that there was something inside me that made me feel that way.
“Wait here. From here on out, I’ll go alone.”
Cheonhwa paused for a moment, then looked back at the group and stopped them.
I don’t know what’s inside there, but I judged it to be dangerous, whether it’s a demonic realm or some powerful monster.
If it were just me, I could have dealt with it somehow, but even Noeryeong, Muoh, and Bukgungyeon could have been defeated in an instant.
“… … Okay. Be careful. Gaga.”
Leaving behind Bukgungyeon, who had stopped biting her lips, Cheonhwa slowly, very slowly entered.
I pushed through the darkness and came face to face with someone inside.
“… … !”
Drumroll drumroll
Did you feel his presence?
A reaction soon occurred inside too.
There was a sound of metal clashing, and someone’s silhouette came into view.
“Ugh… … Ughhh… … .”
A low groan was heard, and an old man was seen hanging with his right arm cut off and his remaining arms and legs handcuffed and shackled.
The old man barely raised his head and focused to check the sky.
“… … Are you here?”
“Father… Father?”
The moment their eyes met, they recognized each other.
It was a reunion between a teacher and a student.
