The World of Sound - Chapter 96
Only Krnovel
The movements of the boats piloted by the Haenam faction were certainly different.
Although they were unmanned, they were worthy of being called people of the sea, so their sailing skills were outstanding, and the speed of their ships was not only that of speedboats, but also even faster.
However, no matter how fast the ship is, it is useless if visibility is not secured.
This is because the speed has to be slowed down to avoid collisions with reefs or other ships, and there is also a risk of losing direction and not being able to return.
“Speed up!”
“Elders, expand your senses and search for them! Don’t miss even the smallest trace!”
However, as long as there was heaven, that too was meaningless.
As they performed again at Pungnyeongmok, the clear wind and bright moon appeared, and the fog around them disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Thanks to this, we were able to steer the ship in clear visibility, and at the same time, we were able to resolve the issue of losing direction and having difficulty returning.
At first, I thought about detaching the brain spirit and then starting it to emit lightning again after a certain amount of time, but I realized that it was unnecessary when I heard that I could tell the direction by looking at the Big Dipper in the night sky if the weather was clear.
Thanks to this, the speedboat, which was full of Haenam-pa unmanned boats, was able to quickly skim the sea around Haenam Island.
First, we traced the place where the disciples who had barely managed to return were attacked, and began searching around that area.
“Over there.”
Unfortunately, that alone wasn’t enough to generate income, but then Cheonhwa stepped in again.
As he suspected, this fog was not a natural occurrence, as he could trace some force as it came rushing back every time he pushed it away.
The force that pushes the fog back towards them.
Although it is difficult to accurately estimate its source, it is not that difficult to figure out its direction.
That’s why Cheonhwa pointed out the direction, and the Haenam faction’s unmanned ships, whose trust was already at its peak, quickly sailed their ships in the direction he pointed without a word.
Do that for about two hours.
Eventually, the ship carrying Cheonhwa caught up with them.
“Over there, over there!”
“It’s a monster!”
The shape of a monster writhing in the unusually thick fog.
Although it was only a shadowy figure hidden by the fog, it was clearly a monster.
“This… … weapon?”
A shape closer to a snake than a dragon.
It roared and breathed fire.
“Huh!”
The strange thing is that, when the fireworks are emitted, the fog should have dispersed, but the haze remains and only the fireworks are flying.
“The wind is blowing!”
At that time, Bukgungyeon came forward before the Haenam faction’s warriors.
After pulling out the ice spirit, he exhaled a cold energy and faced the flames.
Even if that were the real flame of a spirit, it would have enough power to block it.
I expected it to be quite a showdown, as it had such incredible power that it seemed like it could even freeze flames, but when the two forces actually clashed, the situation was completely different.
“?!”
“It’s weak. It’s just flashy!”
The huge and magnificent flame suddenly died down and disappeared.
As Bukgungyeon said, it was too weak.
How bizarre.
Tidding!
However, Cheonhwa discovered something strange inside.
In addition, several masters found something else in the flames that had died down due to Bukgungyeon’s attack.
“Memorize?”
It’s memorization.
The sharp weapons were shot out in flames, then bounced off by the power of the wind and sand net and fell into the sea.
“It’s not a spirit!”
Thanks to that, I was able to be sure.
That there is a person hiding behind the shape of that snake.
It disrupts people’s minds by appearing in the form of fog and monsters, and then inflicts damage by shooting dark energy.
Moreover, the fact that the secret was scattered so helplessly in the wind and sand shows that its level is not all that high.
If you hit it well, it’s like a sword skill.
If so, it’s worth a try.
Immediately the ship, which had been at a standstill, began to move quickly.
He drove the boat straight ahead as if he was going to hit the snake.
“Run away!”
Then the snake also moved along.
As they clung to him, he quickly retreated, then let out a long roar, causing the monsters that the other disciples had seen to appear.
But this time too, it was not a proper appearance, but only a shadow.
“Raise your spirits!”
“Beware of the dark dragons flying in through the fog!”
But that too was already of no use.
It failed to scare them, and since they already knew that they would fire weapons, they were prepared and a surprise attack would not work.
However, the problem is that their speed is also quite high.
Even though I was sailing faster than before, the distance between me and the snake wasn’t easily shortened.
Maybe it was because they were forming shapes from a greater distance, but even after running for a long time, their true forms were not revealed.
“Huh?”
“It’s poison!”
At that moment, the Haenam-pa warriors who were repelling all the flying weapons from the players shouted.
They sent the poison flying here in the fog.
“All disciples, get into the boat!”
“Hold your breath and push out the poison with your internal energy!”
The problem is the type of poison.
The poison they used was not only poisonous, but also unique.
There were dangerous poisons that were life-destroying, and there were also those that were mind-boggling.
Perhaps he had done something similar when dealing with the disciples of the Haenam faction before.
No matter how physically and mentally limited they were, there was no way they would easily believe in the existence of a monster and fear it.
“Internal energy… … ?!”
“Damn it. Are you even using the mountain air poison?”
Among them, there was even a mountain spirit that scattered one’s internal energy.
Even if the masters with great internal energy are exposed to the mountain poison, they will not lose their internal energy all at once, but those who are not outstanding among the great disciples are in danger.
At least the peak level was enough to endure, and since they would have the ability to fight when they caught up to them, Haenam faction took immediate action.
Only those who could endure were left behind, and the rest were sent inside the ship.
I chose not to use them to speed up or slow down the ship, but there were still problems.
It was a gap that would not easily narrow.
“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
That’s why Cheonhwa stepped forward this time too.
Up until now, I have left it to the Haenam faction while dispersing the fog, but if I continue like this, I may lose them or be counterattacked after my internal energy is consumed.
He also started playing without hesitation because he was curious about what kind of people were doing such things.
Cheonumshinkong
The Wind Chimes
Wind and Cloud Mountain
At that moment, a strong wind pushed them up.
It was a technique that was demonstrated when visiting Haenam Island using a regular ship, but the power of the wind chimes created by the wind chime was incomparable to that of the past.
“Huh?!”
“Watch out! You’ll fall!!”
The acceleration was so great that even the unmanned Haenampa forces lost their balance, but fortunately, none of them fell into the sea.
He barely managed to hold on to something or hold on to a thousand-pound weight, and in the meantime, the ship quickly cut through the fog.
We were able to encounter several ships that were lurking inside.
“It’s the ship! It’s the enemy!”
“That ship… … ?!”
The faces of the Haenam-pa warriors who had finally confirmed the enemy’s appearance hardened. This was not only because there were not one but more than a dozen enemy ships, but also because the ships’ style and the clothing of those on board were unusual.
“Dongyeong! These are Dongyeong’s warriors!”
“It was the work of the Japanese!!”
It’s not from the Central Plains.
Occasionally, it matched the Japanese who appeared in the sea and engaged in plunder.
Only then did everything, all the phenomena, make sense.
Why, or the warriors of the place called Dongyeong use not only internal and external skills, but also strange magical martial arts called Inbeop.
So maybe this fog was also caused by their magic.
He also used monsters similar to spirits, so he may have done things through those.
“Listen, disciples. We will destroy them today!!”
Once that decision has been made, there is only one thing to do.
To wipe them out.
All that Haenampa had to do now was to punish those who dared to target Haenampa and Haenamdo.
Because of this, everyone immediately entered battle preparations, and a powerful internal energy momentum rose.
“%$!^#!!”
Along with this, there was a commotion on the other ship.
They also seemed to be preparing everything, realizing that their original goal had been misguided.
‘That’s interesting. Should we go and watch it?’
That sight was also quite interesting to Cheonhwa.
It was his first time seeing martial arts from anywhere other than the Central Plains.
Since even his master had never told him that he had no experience, instead of stepping forward himself, he took a step back and watched the clash with the Haenam faction.
“Put your stomach on it!!”
“#%&$)&!!”
Both sides are screaming at the same time.
However, the responses of the two were quite different.
The Haenam faction’s warriors naturally preferred close combat.
Although they are rare in the martial arts world and have mastered the art of handicrafts in depth, Hae-ryu is not something to be taken lightly.
Also, the martial arts they learned were more effective on flat ground than in water.
It is just something that one has to learn because they live on an island, and the fundamentals of the martial arts are not much different from those of the Central Plains.
“It’s an arrow! Shoot it!!”
“Beware of the secret weapon!”
“Ugh, suddenly the water current… … !”
On the other hand, they were unwilling to allow their ships to be attached.
The Haenam wave’s ships were already rushing towards them as if they would collide at any moment, but they quickly turned their bows to evade them, and as if they were using some kind of magical martial arts, they created waves in the calm sea, making it difficult for them to approach.
Because attaching a ship is not as simple a task as it may seem.
If they had collided directly, both sides would have suffered damage and had to abandon ship, and this was in the middle of the ocean.
Since it was something neither side wanted, the Haenam faction had no choice but to slow down, and they took advantage of this gap to start shooting arrows and weapons indiscriminately.
It is a different way of thinking from those in the martial arts world who stake everything on one weapon.
As if they were only concerned with victory no matter what, they mobilized everything they could to inflict damage on the Haenam faction in advance, and warriors armed with armor and shields lined the edge of the deck, perhaps worried that they would be able to jump over the narrowed gap between the ships.
It seemed like a formation designed to push back those who were trying to cross the boat rather than fight.
“Be careful! These are people skilled in armor martial arts!”
“Don’t let your guard down, he uses strange methods!”
That is why the Haenam faction’s unmanned forces do not rush in rashly.
Even though I don’t know their characteristics in detail, I have a rough idea of them and am wary of them since this is my first time dealing with people like them.
Armor and martial arts.
It is known that the martial arts performed using armor that martial artists do not wear because it is cumbersome are useless when faced with a higher level of internal energy or a higher level of qi. However, they were different.
He wrapped his armor in a sword-like energy and pressed his opponents with his combined offensive and defensive movements, rendering their attacks useless, so the Haenam faction warriors responded calmly.
I would like to jump onto the ship and kill them all at once, but the arrows they shoot and the experience they have in their hidden weapons are formidable, and they don’t just create a raging storm, they use some kind of sorcery to try to physically destroy the ship.
“The elders jumped into the sea… … !”
“Snow Mountain Appearance!”
So he sent some of the elders under the ship, into the sea, and tried to scatter the water magic, or rather the human magic, with his power, but this time too, Bukgungyeon was one step faster.
He swung his sword and instantly shot the ice spirit energy he had filled into the ice spirit into the sea.
Tsk tsk tsk-!!!
Then something strange happened.
The sea that had been surging just a moment ago has frozen over.
Of course, it is incomparable to the Bukpung Ice World that Cheonhwa has created.
If we had used it, the entire area around the ships would have been frozen, not just between the ships.
If he had wanted to, he could have frozen them all in his armor, but Bukgungyeon’s strength was not yet at that level.
If I build up more air power and become more proficient at using the Ice Spirit, I might be able to do that, but for now, all I can do is freeze the sea between ships and freeze the waves.
“Thank you, my lady!”
“Everyone jump over! Slaughter them all!!”
“Waaa …
Thanks to this, both sides were surprised and froze, but Haenam faction responded quickly.
As the risk of falling into the sea and being in trouble decreased, they took the risk of engaging in close combat.
He stepped strongly on the stopped ship and flew up, and the long-legged men and elders made their way first.
The powerful aura emitted by the masters at their peak rose up in a huge way as if it would cut down the enemies and their ships all at once.
“Chick Show!”
Then, the opponent had no choice but to huddle together to defend, while at the same time starting to attack in various ways.
Some tried to push them back with their armor and shields, while some warriors standing behind them quickly drew their swords and aimed for the vital points of those rushing in.
Also, some continued to threaten their enemies by shooting arrows and magic weapons, while those at the very back who were performing magical arts while changing their hand movements chaotically disappeared or called out food spirits.
They tried to use them as shields to block the Haenam faction’s unmanned forces, or secretly turn around and attack the Haenam faction’s ships directly.
“They say the magic of the Mosanpa is worth seeing, but these guys also do interesting things?”
It was at that moment that the corners of Cheonhwa’s mouth, who was watching the scene from behind with her arms crossed, turned up.
Because I used the time-based method to see through all the special magic they use.
And among them, there were quite a few interesting techniques.
“Is this how it is done?”
Something you can apply and use right away.
