Chapter 577 – The Conspiracy Begins (10)
Halfway up Namsan Mountain.
An unbelievable sight unfolded in the eyes of the man who was following his subordinates who were quickly climbing the mountain.
Quaaaaa!
A strong wave pours down from the mountain.
It’s impossible to contain it in simple words.
A flood so massive that you might wonder if this is what it would feel like to encounter a tsunami in the mountains.
“Run away!”
“Spread out!”
“Run, jump…, Ugh!”
“Gurrrr.”
Not only his subordinates but even the beautiful flowers and trees are swept away.
“Pfft!”
He flew straight into the sky and saw that he had escaped disaster.
The stream of water that sweeps away everything flows not only here but throughout the entire mountain.
“Huh.”
It was shocking.
‘How much magic power do you have to be able to use magic like this?’
An overwhelming amount of magic power, enough to cause a huge tsunami across the mountain.
The unbelievable casting speed that creates this magic in the blink of an eye.
By far the best among all the wizards I’ve seen so far.
‘It’s a shame.’
In his view, the magic he had just unleashed seemed to be no less than a natural disaster.
What would it have been like if that magic had been aimed at humanity, not at them?
With that level of power, it would have been possible to demonstrate a level of power equivalent to a disaster even in the city.
It was a bit disappointing.
Instead of regret, he had a deep desire to live in his heart.
I realized it again.
‘It must be killed.’
In order to complete the great cause of the organization, Kim Do-jin must die here today.
Even if you can’t cause as much damage to this land as you want, if you can kill him, it won’t be a loss at all.
For that, we needed them.
Morons drowning, struggling and dying.
“Silly things.”
If you can’t avoid even that much, you’ll either die or get hurt.
I’m just embarrassed that they are my subordinates.
But what can I do?
I needed the help of those people to block the escape route in case of an emergency.
The man lightly closed his fist and threw it towards the huge stream of water.
A gentle movement, as if trying to grasp an object that is slightly away.
However, the result was definitely not light.
Kwaaang!
He hit a huge stream of energy flowing from his raised fist.
Scattering water droplets.
Those who were struggling there managed to jump onto a tall tree and let out their breath.
“Cluck, clack…” !”
“Wow!”
“Huh, huh…”
“Okay, thank you…” .”
Those who escaped the danger of death tried to express their gratitude.
But he didn’t listen.
“There is no time. Quickly rescue the others and surround the surrounding area as originally planned.”
“… Ah, I understand.”
Those who began wandering under his orders extend a helping hand to their drowning comrades.
Cutting a stream of water with a sword, building an earthen wall to block the flow of water, etc.
The total number of those who survived on their own or with the help of colleagues was approximately 60.
As many as 40 people were lost due to this spell.
The man shook his head and muttered at the pitiful numbers surrounding Namsan Tower.
“It was miserable from the start.”
It didn’t feel very good.
Because I felt like I was starting half-defeated before the actual battle even started.
But it wasn’t that bad.
Because those feelings are the driving force that makes him stronger.
He gave his final orders to his subordinates.
“No matter what happens, stay where you are. If you lose Kim Do-jin, I will destroy you and everything you cherish.”
“Yes!”
The subordinates respond with a strong voice to the warning that is full of serious life.
Kim Do-jin, who was looking down at this from the top of the tower, was frowning as if he didn’t like something.
“Seup…, I’m a little disappointed.”
The number of people gathered in front of the tower was approximately 60.
Kim Do-jin didn’t really like that number.
According to expectations, about 20 more people should have died than that.
It was great that those who should have died survived thanks to the help they received just before death.
It must have been an instruction from the leader who leads them.
‘I guess the captain over there has a knack for handling people.’
I had no choice but to think that way.
Or maybe the camaraderie was so strong that he couldn’t stand watching his men die.
Either way is just as annoying.
Kim Do-jin groans, pressing his pounding temples with his hands.
“Okay… “Nothing goes as planned.”
I feel very irritated.
He knows.
In life, things rarely go as planned.
If you plan 10 things, it’s a blessing even if only one goes as planned.
In that sense, he had a good batting average.
If you plan 10 things, at least four or five things tend to go wrong.
However, there were times when I got caught up in the most important part.
And that too by people who are very much united with malicious intent towards themselves.
But they also need to know.
“Same here, why are you like this?”
It’s not easy for me to hate them.
A mortal enemy who cannot live under the same sky… It’s not that bad, but it’s to the point where he doesn’t want to live.
So I plan to eradicate it.
To purify the air even a little.
I will cut off the lives of those who flocked to me like a pack of dogs.
Without exception.
“Whoa.”
To endure the pounding headache and heat, I take a deep breath and calm myself.
And load the magic.
The most suitable magic for enemies that look like drowned mice.
Pakajik!
A deep blue electric current rising from the fingertips.
Aim it at those gathered under the tower.
「Thunderstorm(千雷)」
A ray of blue lightning is shot and splits as it runs through the air.
Patsutsu!
From one to two, then four, eight, sixteen…
Finally reaching a thousand.
When the thunderbolts of rain fell on everyone’s heads.
“Tsk.”
The man who was watching this clicked his tongue and flew up to punch her.
“Changryong Ascension (蒼龍昇天).”
The energy exploding from the tightly closed fist forms the shape of a huge dragon.
It flies toward the sky with its long antennae fluttering, with a Yeouiju in its mouth.
The blue dragon twists its entire body as if coiling itself in the air with its long body.
Then, the lightning that touched the dragon’s scales disappeared without a trace, and the lightning that managed to avoid the dragon’s domain also unexpectedly fell to the ground.
“…”
From top to bottom.
From bottom to top.
The two people’s gazes become entangled in the air.
And they felt it at the same time.
A huge presence sleeping within each other.
However, our understanding was different.
‘He is stronger than known.’
The man simply mistakenly thought that it was Kim Do-jin’s hidden power.
However, Kim Do-jin clearly understood the identity of the power sleeping within him.
‘Is he an apostle?’
He was an apostle.
The energy sleeping inside him is proven by the fist he raised a moment ago.
It is not just magical power, but the power of authority imbued with the grace of God.
Kim Do-jin felt this.
Not because of gluttony, but only through natural sense.
Although their impressions were slightly different, their evaluation of each other was the same.
‘It won’t be easy.’
‘It’s rough, it’s rough.’
An awkward expression.
But the expressions of the two people were not like that at all.
The more difficult the opponent, the more their blood boils.
A man who floats his body and reaches the top where Kim Do-jin is.
He settles down a little away from him and opens his mouth.
“I wanted to meet you at least once.”
“Are you my fan?”
“Because I’m a fan…, In some ways that may be true. “There was a lot of talk about him within the organization, so I was curious what kind of guy he was.”
“Ah… “Do you think the organization talks about me a lot?”
When I asked as if I was trying to get information, the man readily agreed.
“Of course it doesn’t matter. “You are the only person who has derailed our plans this much since the organization was founded.”
“Oh, really?”
In my head, I think over the moments when their plans went awry.
It wasn’t that much.
‘If you’re still praising me this much…’
A hexagram is an organization that has not experienced that much failure.
Or maybe you disturbed them without realizing it.
‘Probably the latter.’
It would also be strange if there were few failures in creating such a world-class organization.
“You are the organization’s number one target. Here, priority 1 means that if given the opportunity, kill is the top priority at any cost.”
He puts one foot forward and continues his words.
“Today is the day.”
It feels like it’s not just words, there’s a strong will.
A will to kill oneself at any cost.
When fighting something like this, it always comes down to one of two outcomes.
Either the opponent dies, or you die.
It is quite obvious, but Kim Do-jin has never lost such a battle.
Not even once.
He asks, lightly shaking his head.
“Let’s just say something before we fight.”
“Hmm?”
When asked if such a thing was really necessary, he responded with a humorous smile.
“Shouldn’t I know what kind of guy I’m killing?”
The man’s face hardens at his confident answer, as if he is already certain of victory.
“Okay… “It would be right to at least know who killed him.”
He introduces himself.
“My name is Jincheon. “I am the person who will kill you, and the apostle chosen by the goddess of jealousy.”
The energy rising from the man’s back becomes more and more sinister.
“I hate you and everyone.”
The cutting edge of all kinds of jealousy and hatred towards fellow humans was aimed at Kim Do-jin.
