An Jeok-un, who had answered Ichimoku’s question, opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“It seems there are no more questions, so let’s begin the training. First, today, I will teach you about one of the most basic formations, the Hwanmongjin (幻夢陳).”
After saying that, An Jeok-un glanced at the smokescreen, picked up a few rocks, and started walking.
“I will first create a dream formation that will only last for the duration of the training, so please watch for a while. In particular, it will be very helpful to feel how the flow of energy changes by using the energy sense.”
An Jeok-un finished speaking without even looking at the officials, and went around the training grounds, putting down the rocks he had brought in several places.
“Hmm.”
Then, as if examining the flow of energy, he glanced around, nodded once, and approached the stone he had first put down.
Then he took out an empty talisman and a brush from his sleeve, and put the tip of the brush into the bottle he was holding at his side.
‘It doesn’t look like it was eaten, what is it?’
The tip of the brush that went into the bottle was dyed dark red, and An Jeok-un played with the tip of the brush to write something on the talisman.
Ilmok, who was observing the flow of energy by using his senses according to An Jeok-un’s advice, had his eyes light up.
‘Hmm?’
This was because some of the energy flowing out through An Jeok-un’s fingertips was being sucked into the talisman as the words were written.
An Jeok-un attached the talisman he had made to a stone, and then went around the training grounds and started making talismans and attaching them to the remaining stones one by one.
Some of the officials of the Magic Hall who were watching the scene had bright eyes.
This was because every time An Jeok-un made a talisman and attached it to a stone, he felt the flow of energy in the area subtly distorting.
As the number of talismans attached increased, the flow of energy began to become unstable and wild, reaching its peak by the time the last talisman was attached.
And An Jeok-un, who had escaped the strange polygonal area created by the rocks, suddenly made hand seals by moving his hands in the air one after another as if he were performing a golden magic trick.
The energy that had gathered around Anjeokun according to the number of people turned into lightning as soon as he stretched out his hand and collided with the stone where the talisman was first attached.
Pot!
Immediately after that, the flow of energy that had been running wild stabilized.
An Jeok-un, who had finished preparing after a while, turned around and looked at the officials again.
“Hmm. The only official name I know is Ichimoku Kwando. Ichimoku Kwando. If you feel anything, please tell me.”
It was an absurd question.
The energy that had been running wild had stabilized, and on the outside, all that was visible was a few stones with talismans attached to them scattered around in an ordinary smokescreen.
‘You’re not talking about a stone with a talisman attached to it, are you?’
If I answer something so obvious, won’t I be treated like an idiot?
And Ichimoku was able to find the answer without difficulty.
“It seems that the flow of energy flowing in the area where Jinson Bangju has set up his formation and the area outside of it are completely unrelated.”
An Jeok-un nodded and answered.
“You got it right. It was made this way in the first place so that you could feel it, so if other officials are aware of it, they will be able to notice it without difficulty.”
As he said, some nodded as if they had noticed, and some only then exclaimed, “Ah.”
“Of course, if it’s a proper formation, you should trap the opponent in the formation, so it wouldn’t be so obvious. You should know that it can be made so large that the area of the formation and the flow outside cannot be distinguished, or the formation can be made much more complicated so that it is connected to the flow outside.”
“Why do you start with such a formation that is so obvious and useless in real combat?”
When Dokgo-pae asked with a look of incomprehension, An Jeok-un answered in a calm tone.
“We should start with formations that are obvious and can be felt first, and then move on to covert formations later.”
An Jeok-un answered kindly, but inside he was thinking of something else.
‘There is no such thing as a head.’
Obviously, I advised you to feel the flow of energy at first, so if you have a brain, you should be able to infer this intention, right?
As someone from the An clan who was known for studying sorcery and tactics, Dokgo Sega’s eldest grandson was someone who was basically quite smart, and it was hard to understand how he could live with such an intelligence.
However, since he already knew that the eldest grandson of Dokgo Se-ga was in Guando, An Jeok-un decided to let it go. He thought that paying attention would only waste his energy.
“The Illusion Formation is a formation that literally shows illusions. From now on, I will tell you how to deal with being trapped in the Illusion Formation, so remember the method well. Then, enter the formation one by one and try to escape.”
An Jeok-un, who had said so, calmly explained to me how to capture the artificial flow of energy within the formation and how to find a living pattern based on that flow.
“Even if the flow of energy is stable, there is no difference in the fact that it is an artificial flow. If it were a much more complex formation, the artificial flow would also be designed as naturally as possible, but if you become accustomed to the formation, it will not be difficult to capture it.”
Afterwards, he explained how to find the original text. Finally, An Jeok-un gave some cautionary advice.
“The illusionary circle that we’ve just created is in its most basic form, and is designed to make everyone see the same illusions. Also, don’t worry, even if you get hurt by the illusions, you won’t actually get hurt at all. On the contrary, you might get startled and panicked, which could lead to a bigger accident.”
A proper illusionary spell could be used to bring about a variety of effects, such as approaching the opponent’s upper body and causing them to recall their most horrific memories, or causing the injuries inflicted by the illusion to actually appear on their body.
Of course, it is impossible to create such a vicious formation for the first practice of the officials, so they used this simple formation.
It wasn’t.
Because the followers of Cheonmasingyo were not particularly security-conscious.
‘It might be okay if we use natural materials. There’s not enough time to make a talisman alone.’
It was difficult to create such a proper formation within the training time.
“Also, you shouldn’t trust the sense of direction you feel inside. No matter how basic the illusion is, if your sense of direction is distorted, you’ll never be able to get out if you think you can just go back the way you came.”
An Jeok-un, who had finished explaining up to that point, glanced at the officials and pointed to Gwak-sul.
“First, let me have you go in first.”
I could tell because I kept looking at the faces of the officials as the explanation continued.
That official is one of the few who fully understands his explanation.
At An Jeok-un’s instructions, Gwak-sul cautiously approached the place where the formation was spread out.
As if passing through an invisible transparent wall, Gwak-sul entered the inside of the formation.
“Eek!?”
Kwak-sul reacted with surprise and let out an unidentifiable scream, as if he had seen something.
Of course, from the perspective of the officials who were watching the internal situation from outside the formation, it just seemed like they were the only ones who were surprised by seeing something that was not there.
But that surprise was short-lived.
As if he had remembered An Jeok-un’s advice, Gwak-sul quickly calmed down and started walking slowly, turning his head here and there with a serious expression on his face.
It was a strange sight.
In the middle of an empty smokescreen, Gwak-sul was moving around slowly and steadily, as if he was crossing a cliff or a bridge.
After wandering around like that for a while, Gwak-sul was able to escape the dream world.
An Jeok-un opened his mouth to face Gwak-sul, who was sighing with sweat dripping down his forehead.
“It’s not a bad pace for a first time.”
Because of the emotionless tone, it was difficult to tell whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.
An Jeok-un turned his head and looked at Ilmok this time.
“This time, let’s go inside the Ichimokukanto.”
“Yes, Lord Jinson Bangju.”
Ichimoku, who had shown an appropriate courtesy with a lottery ticket, approached the formation.
‘Ugh. It’s annoying, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’
I wanted to just take the class and rest, but the training was necessary.
‘Something like that could happen again.’
When I recall the incident that occurred when I entered Dohwaryeong, I feel a sense of alarm.
The moment you take the last step and enter the realm of formation.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
At a glance, Ilmok could see why Gwak-sul was screaming.
Suddenly, my vision changed and I was shown a mountainside, and a drone flying through the bushes was swinging its sword in a surprise attack.
Whoosh!
But Ilmok didn’t scream like Gwak-sul. He just habitually twisted his upper body slightly, easily dodging the blow.
‘Surprise attacks, I’m used to them.’
Several times I avoided unmanned attacks with a relaxed attitude.
Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.
‘Hmm? Is it really necessary to go to the raw fish market? His level doesn’t seem that high anyway.’
My curiosity was piqued. What would happen if I dealt with that unmanned entity? Or, could this basic illusionary formation be broken by swordsmanship?
A sneer appeared on Ichimoku’s lips as he continued his thoughts up to that point.
‘Where on earth is this side effect bastard planning to get his sword out of?’
Curiosity draws the East Sea sword and fights? That was completely out of character for him.
Immediately after Ichimoku noticed that fact.
– Tch.
In my head, I felt like I was hearing a sound like a tongue being clicked.
After avoiding the trap of the Talhonmujeonggeom, Ilmok took a step forward following An Jeok-un’s advice, keeping his spirits up.
one side.
An Jeok-un, who was observing Il-mok’s appearance from outside the formation, had bright eyes.
This was because Ichimoku, who had noticed the trap of the Talhonmujeonggeom, witnessed him openly laughing at him.
‘Hoo. A laugh. Is this level of formation nothing?’
It was a misunderstanding that could have been unpleasant, but An Jeok-un found it even more interesting.
It was just something made for educational purposes anyway. Even he himself considered it to be poorly completed.
‘Well, you must have experienced Dohwaryeong’s dreamlike return to the battlefield, so this is ridiculous.’
Indeed, An Jeok-un was even more intrigued by the extent of the talent of the famous Eight Confuciuses.
As if responding to the interest, Ilmok escaped from the dream world at a faster speed than Gwak-sul.
“That’s great.”
After giving him even greater praise than he had given to Kwak-sul, An Jeok-un pretended to have no interest in Ilmok and threw the other officials into the Hwanmongjin one by one.
Thanks to the example that Kwak-sul and Il-mok had already set, the other officials were a bit confused at first, but they were able to escape the dream world without difficulty.
After going around in circles a few times, it was finally Dokgo’s turn.
As if he wasn’t afraid of formations, Dokgo-pae and Bomu-do confidently entered the formation.
“Huh!”
He immediately drew his great sword and swung it into the air.
It was because of the surprise attack by the unmanned aircraft that appeared at the same time as entering the dream world.
Most of the officials reacted with surprise to the attack, but they quickly came to their senses and escaped the formation.
However, Dokgo-pae was not like that.
“Whoa!”
“Hahahaha! Try to block this too!”
He swung his sword and shouted loudly as if he was welcoming and conversing with others.
“Hahahaha! That’s great!”
“Eww!”
He used all his might to use his martial arts and lightness skills, and even flew around.
The sight of him running around, screaming into the air, and swinging his sword around was so crazy that anyone who saw him would think he was crazy.
An Jeok-un, who had been watching the scene for a while, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out a deep sigh.
‘Ha. Damn Dokgo Sega.’
I expected it, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.
It was clear that he had gone in without listening to the previous explanation at all.
In the end, An Jeok-un, who had been watching Dokgo-pae’s tantrums for a while, had no choice but to step forward himself.
He waved his hands around to create water seals, just like when he first created the Illusion Circle.
Pot!
As he shouted, a blast of fire followed his hand and burned one of the talismans.
At the same time, the artificial flow of energy that had formed the illusion dispersed, and Dokgo-pae, who had escaped from the illusion, screamed.
“Why are you interfering with my life-or-death struggle!!”
“… … .”
An Jeok-un was momentarily speechless, which was unusual for him.
An Jeok-un, who barely held back his swearing, tried to keep an indifferent expression and asked.
“A life-or-death struggle? Are you saying you fought a life-or-death struggle with a welcome?”
“Yes. In the Magic Hall, private disputes between officials are not allowed, so it was already frustrating. However, since it doesn’t matter whether you cut down or kill a person with a vision, what a great opponent they are!”
An Jeok-un frowned at Dokgo-pae’s crazy words and asked with a look of “no way, no way.”
“So, you’re saying that you continued to fight while recognizing that it was a welcome?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“I clearly explained that the goal of this training was to safely escape the formation, right?”
“Hahaha! Isn’t smashing the illusion head-on also one way?”
“… … .”
