Wonder (4)
In accordance with the orders of Khagan Myeolyeogeol, the generals left their gers and moved in unison.
Namguru, who was kneeling on the floor, carefully tried to get up while keeping an eye on things.
“Ha, then I too will prepare for war.”
Kagan laughed heartily.
“Haha. Why did you go to war?”
As Namguru raised his head with an anxious expression, his eyes met Kagan’s.
“You were fooled by fanatics, and now you’ve lost seven hundred warriors from the plains. How can you possibly go to war again?”
The smile of a vicious predator.
Crunch.
That was the last thing Namguru saw before his throat was cut.
* * *
Crunch.
Ichimoku, who cut off the part containing the internal strife with the Sword of Ascension, escaped the lake carrying the torn snake’s body.
After spreading out the plank and running across the water, I arrived at where my group was. They were all looking at me with different expressions on their faces.
“Is there an inner lining there?”
When Jin Ha-yeon spoke first in her characteristically indifferent tone, Ilmok nodded and answered.
“It seemed like it would be a problem to take the snake’s entire body. So, I just cut off the part that contained the inner organ, but it didn’t seem to have much effect.”
Some of the group looked disappointed as if they understood what was being said.
Since the inner chamber was constantly leaking out negative energy, I had to consume the inner chamber right here and now in order to absorb all the energy.
The problem was, you never knew when the Myul-A-Geol guys would attack this place.
If Hanchang Ilmok were to be attacked while absorbing the energy of the inner sphere, there was no way to know what terrible things would happen.
At that moment, Jin Ha-yeon seemed to remember something and reached out her hand.
“Your Majesty. Could you please give me that inner space for a moment?”
It may have seemed like she was blinded by something that was no different from an elixir, but Ichimoku handed the medicine over to her without a shred of suspicion.
Jin Ha-yeon, who received the inner sword, carefully held it with both hands and used the small magic skill.
As the negative energy flowing out of her pair of hands enveloped the inner chamber, it began to resonate with the negative energy flowing out of the inner chamber, and soon the negative energy remained on the surface and did not leak out any more.
“Until we reach the border, I will have the girl keep this inner garment.”
“Please.”
Thanks to Jin Ha-yeon, they were able to find a way to move the inner chamber, so they immediately got on their horses and headed south.
They set out from the lake in the afternoon and only arrived near the border fortress at night when the sun had completely set.
It was the day before, when the sun was beginning to set, that Ilmok and his party left the fortress.
They rode their horses until dawn to close the gap that had been half a day’s work, and after taking a nap to let their horses rest, they finally caught up with the Myeol-a-geol warriors.
After catching up with the Myeol-a-geol warriors around the time of Si-si, they fought, moved for an hour, rested at a lake, fought a battle with a spirit, and then moved for another five hours to return to the fortress.
Although he was obviously tired, Ichimoku had no intention of going to sleep right away.
Ilmok headed to the room assigned to him and entered the room with Jin Ha-yeon.
Perhaps because she had been protecting the inner chamber for five whole hours while operating the Soo-jin Magic, Jin Ha-yeon looked quite tired. Although, as was her personality, she did not show it.
Ichimoku, who had been looking at her for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I will now divide the inner sphere in half, so Lady Jin should also absorb the inner sphere.”
Jin Ha-yeon shook her head at Ilmok’s suggestion.
“You don’t necessarily need to give me your inner energy. The internal energy consumed while protecting your inner energy can be quickly recovered by taking the Unki Breakfast.”
“It’s not because of this incident. Lady Jin has lost her internal energy because of me.”
After the battle with Cheonhyeol Gangsi, there was an incident where he transferred his internal energy to Ilmok in order to save him when his internal energy went out of control.
In an effort to avoid mentioning what happened in the process, Ilmoku expressed it indirectly.
“… Since Sosuma-gong was dismounted because of that, I have gained much more than I have lost, Your Majesty.”
“If you keep refusing, I have no choice. I have no choice but to throw away half of my belongings.”
“What do you mean?”
When Jin Ha-yeon asked with a slight frown, Ilmok shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing.
“As the saying goes, ‘too much is as bad as too little,’ so it would be dangerous for me to absorb all the negative energy contained in this inner chamber right now.”
If you were someone who only learned a few types of magic, you wouldn’t know. Ichimoku was learning three types of magic at the same time.
If one energy suddenly increases greatly, there is a high possibility that problems will arise.
“If it’s something that has to be thrown away anyway, wouldn’t it be better for Lady Jin to absorb it?”
Jin Ha-yeon, who realized that Ilmok’s words were not just an excuse, nodded her head in agreement after thinking about it for a moment.
“If you do so, I will gladly accept the grace bestowed by Your Majesty.”
Ilmok carefully pulled out the Sword of Ascension.
Immediately afterwards, Jin Ha-yeon swung her sword like a ray of light towards the inner altar that she had wrapped around her arms, and an explosive flow of negative energy began to flow out from the inner altar that had been split in two.
As if he couldn’t waste even a single bit of energy, Jin Ha-yeon handed one side over to Ilmok as soon as his inner organ split, and put the other side into his mouth.
Ichimoku also stuffed the medicine she had handed him into his mouth and sat cross-legged.
I felt a strong cold sensation as I swallowed the food that I barely chewed down my throat. It was as if it was going to freeze me to death from my throat to my stomach.
Ilmok gritted his teeth and used the energy of the Talhonmujeonggeom to surround the energy of the inner dan. Then, according to the secret of the Sosumagong, he extracted the energy of the inner dan one by one and made it his own.
It was an incredibly tedious task.
The biggest problem was that the energy of the inner dan was too great compared to the energy of the minority magic contained in the upper part of the Ichimoku, so it could not be absorbed all at once.
How many times did I repeat the process of slowly pulling out and absorbing the energy of the inner body, like unraveling a thread, while maintaining concentration?
Before he knew it, beads of sweat had formed on Ilmok’s forehead and were even trickling down his chin, and ironically, as the cold air continued to pass through Ilmok’s blood vessels, his blood vessels were starting to cool down.
At that time, I had barely absorbed half of the negative energy.
– Go! How dare you encroach upon my territory!
The passionate leader of the Bokhonmara Sword Technique, who had been staying in the middle of the battle, began to have a seizure.
– Nothing can extinguish the flame of this throne!
As the blood flow cooled down due to the influence of the cold odor, it seemed as if it was stimulated by it.
‘Damn. You’ve been quiet for a while.’
It was the spirit demon sword technique that succeeded in escaping the ultimate demon state by steadily absorbing blood energy and raising the level with the Ascension Sword.
Although the number of seizures decreased since then, they still occurred at the worst possible moments.
Ilmok used the remaining energy of the Talhonmujeonggeom in his lower abdomen to suppress the seizure of side effects.
Half of the magical energy of the Talhonmujeonggeom wraps around the inner wall, preventing it from flowing out, and the other half pushes away the rampant Yeolyangjigi.
Trying to do two things at the same time felt like performing a shaman’s two-faced ritual.
No. In the meantime, I was trying to absorb the energy of the inner dan with the help of the minority magic, so I felt like I was getting dizzy.
At that moment, another voice came into my head.
– Huh. You idiot who only knows how to get angry. Get out of here!
This time it was a minority magician.
– Let’s throw that angry idiot out and be with this body! I will put all the women in the world under you! Hahahaha!
The small demonic power that had been stagnant for a while due to not being able to advance to the highest level had grown in size by absorbing the energy of the inner sphere, and was able to reach the highest level.
– Hahahaha! More! More! Absorb it! I’ll freeze that bastard!
Even the energy of the minority demons who had reached the peak of their power freely escaped from the upper stage and rushed towards the inner stage covered in demonic energy.
For a moment, Ichimoku was lost in thought.
‘Should we stop here?’
If I could just vomit out my inner self and use the energy of the Talhonmujeonggeom that was covering my inner self, I could have suppressed this situation somehow.
However, there was still nearly half of the energy left in the inner chamber that had not been absorbed yet.
Above all, unlike the easy-to-build up heat energy with the Ascension Sword’s function, the opportunity to easily obtain yin energy may never come again.
If it had been a normal day, I would have given up and confessed my feelings.
But not now.
‘I have to become stronger. To end the war as soon as possible.’
I saw too much blood.
The number of enemies he killed with his own hands alone would have exceeded ten thousand. This was because he always used the Annihilation of the World Spirits Jade Field to gain the upper hand.
Even if you exclude the number of people who have been killed directly with a sword, the number easily exceeds a thousand.
Because he had killed so many, he was able to build up his heat so quickly.
In the past, Ilmok made a promise.
In this fucking world, I would gladly kill for what I believe to be right.
If it weren’t for that determination, I would have gone crazy from obsession with money a long time ago.
Among those he killed were some who volunteered to serve as eunuchs and imperial officials, but there were also many innocent soldiers who had no choice but to follow orders.
Even the victims were not only enemies.
No matter how hard Il-mok tried, the casualties on our side continued to pile up. Especially after the imperial family’s schemes had started to turn into a local war.
So much blood was shed every day, whether on our side or our enemy.
Every time he heard news of how many friendly forces had suffered casualties or how many thousands of enemy soldiers had been killed, Ichimoku thought.
If only it were just a little stronger.
Enough to invade the imperial palace alone and kill the mastermind behind all this, Taegonggong.
Enough to be able to single-handedly kill that damned Shin Seung who always causes trouble and complicates the battle situation.
If we could just deal with those two, this terrible war could end quickly.
The thought lingered in Ichimoku’s mind every day.
Although he had not fallen into the state of obsession with money, Ichimoku was slowly being pushed to his limit. He had seen too much blood.
That’s why Ichimoku decided to show some dangerous greed, unlike usual.
‘Absorb as much as you can. Really, if you get to the point where you’re about to burst, just spit it out.’
His reason knew that it was madness.
Still, Ichimoku was willing to try that crazy thing.
The negative energy of the minority magic that flowed out from the upper chamber wrapped around the inner chamber, greedily absorbing the inner chamber’s energy and growing in size.
In order to suppress this, while focusing on the magic energy of the inner side, the hot-blooded spirit that escaped the interrupted battle took advantage of the gap in the magic energy and ran through the blood vessels.
As I tried to control the energy from that side again, the energy of the small demon that had absorbed the inner energy and grown in size also ran through the blood vessels.
Ichimoku had to squeeze out all his concentration to the limit and somehow prevent the direct collision of the yang and yin jigsaws.
At some moments, his blood vessels would burn hot and at other moments, his blood vessels would freeze cold.
Feeling like he was walking on thin ice, Ilmok continued to eat breakfast.

Next to the cross-legged Ichimoku.
Jin Ha-yeon, who had absorbed half of the inner strength, sat up and looked at the view.
Unusually, her eyes were filled with worry.
‘Left-handed…’
A scene that would make even a complete stranger feel worried was unfolding before her eyes.
Sometimes parts of his body would become so hot that his clothes would burn, and at other times his body would become cold and the ashes of his burned clothes would harden.
Even a bizarre sight unfolded, with flames shooting up from the left side of the body and frost forming on the right side.
I wanted to immediately put my heart on Ichimoku’s back and help him with the morning meal, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it.
This was because if she stepped forward, it would increase the power of the minority magician, which could lead to unnecessary mishaps.
At that moment, a voice was heard from outside the palace.
“Chief Jin.”
“Wh, is there a new problem?”
It was the voice of Hyukryun Seon-ah and Jeong Hyeon.
The changes taking place within the temple were so intense that the energy seemed to be felt even outside the temple.
Jin Ha-yeon, who had been thinking for a moment, opened her mouth.
“Come in as carefully as possible. Do not disturb His Majesty.”
As soon as her order was given, three women cautiously entered the room.
Hyukryun Seon-ah, who saw the strange events taking place in Ilmok’s body with her own eyes, clenched her teeth so much that it bled, and Jeong-hyeon’s face turned pale.
Jin Ha-yeon, who had been observing their reactions for a moment, turned her gaze back to Il-mok and opened her mouth.
“If something happens to the Left Master, we must come together and save him.”
They realized the meaning behind Jin Ha-yeon’s words. The true meaning behind her words that they would save each other.
Jin Ha-yeon had called them in with this in mind from the beginning.
If only one of the hot and cold energies had gone wild, Jin Ha-yeon would have been able to handle it alone, but now the situation was different.
‘I will do anything to save the left wing.’
The last time it happened was the same.
It wasn’t that I did something like that just to try out the surname Ilmok. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to call in others.
At Jin Ha-yeon’s words, Hyuk-ryeon Seon-ah nodded as if it was natural, and Jeong-hyeon, who would normally have blushed and run away, also made a determined expression.
