Chapter 98 – War God Festival (7)
‘It’s a bluff.’
Sangong poison does not have the ability to kill, but it is much more difficult to block than normal poison. In order to block the poison, I had to detect the poison in the first place and quickly retreat out of range, or surround the thick inner air barrier.
Kim Moo-gong didn’t do anything.
Rather, he breathed louder. As if all the fresh lungs in this space were to be sucked in.
There was no way he would be fine even after inhaling the Sinseon Lung, which is said to be the best among mountain poisons. I know that Kim Moo-gong is strong, but he is a late index. It’s right that you can’t handle the fresh lungs with your peak level skills.
Kugung- Suddenly, ink light spread from Mu-gong Kim’s body. It was unusual to see Kim Mu-gong enveloped in thick fog.
‘What…?’
Dang Xiao Xiao tightly gripped the soft leather-covered piece. At the intimidating feeling of the ink light, Dang So-so had the urge to turn his head. Kim Moo-gong, who quickly cleared the clouds, let out a long breath.
‘Lie.’
Each and every one of the Tang Wengu Grand Geukgong was the essence of Tang Wen Dok Gong. It was the history and pride of the party. It was obviously forcibly lifted. Dang So-so judged that, and after getting close to Kim Mu-gong, he swung his long-haired sword.
Nettle liquid-
There was a sharp puncture sound as if tearing through the air. The whip waved as if it were alive and rushed at Kim Moo-gong. A golden glow flickered along the whip. It was the golden dragon pyeonbeop that only the direct lineage of the Tang family could learn.
Kim Mu-gong’s hand drew a light circle. Dang Xiao Xiao felt a strange phenomenon in which the kite in his hand moved wildly.
“Kuh…!”
A harsh moan leaked from the corner of Dangsoso’s mouth. I tried my best, but I couldn’t control it.
It was clearly a counterattack loaded with internal energy.
Boom – The Yeonpyeon, which deviated from the pitch on its own, hit the floor violently. Shattered stone dust scattered in all directions.
Kim Mu-gong, who had approached without even realizing it through the stone dust, pointed his finger at Dang So-so’s forehead.
[Wouldn’t this be all there is?]
Simultaneously with the tone, Mugong Kim snapped his fingers.
Boom – The head was strongly tilted back. Dang So-so felt an intense pain in his forehead. It was a brain-shattering shock. Kim Moo-gong stared indifferently at Dang So-so, who staggered back.
‘That eye again.’
It’s like looking down on yourself.
A very arrogant gaze. My stomach was boiling.
No matter how much he was a master of the Cheonma Shinkyo, the party was no less prestigious than him. His forehead, which had been hit by the blow, was swollen red.
“…You.”
Despite Dang So-so’s snarling words, Kim Moo-gong’s gaze instantly turned to the other side. It was the side with the party sound.
[Didn’t you bring the golden dragon weapon?]
This time, Dangso was taken aback. It was ‘brought’ by my uncle’s coercion. But she noticed and brought it, but she didn’t intend to use it. How could the heir of a prestigious political faction use a weapon of gold in military affairs? Against the same academy cadets. I also thought it wouldn’t work.
“…”
[Don’t you think it’s strange? Did Danjiajoo allow the use of the Golden Dragon Weapons in Bimu?]
“Noisy. I take care of the family affairs.”
[No. Something is definitely happening in our gate. You have an obligation to figure it out. Wasn’t it a direct descendant of our family?]
“What do you know…!”
Dang So-so clenched her fists.
[Looks like you don’t know anything. I saw the sins committed by the party. This is giving you a chance. Otherwise, the party will eventually walk the path of extinction.]
“Dare. Such arrogant, arrogant words against our gate…! Extinction? Are you funny?”
Kim Moo-gong smiled bitterly. He didn’t even think that the conversation would work right away. Even if they knew the future of the party, who would readily believe in it?
A fishy smile appeared on the lips of the Dangmun man near the Murimmaeng figures he saw earlier. It must have been planned to do something. Whatever it was, Mu-gong Kim intended to smash it from the front.
[If you’ve been instructed to do something, you’d better take it out. Or let it end right away.]
It was difficult for Dang So-so to endure the continued provocations. Wouldn’t this be self-sufficient?
“I don’t know if it hurts badly.”
Dang So-so pulled out an iron ball the size of a fist that was in his bosom. Lee Chae flashed in Kim Mu-gong’s eyes. Dang So-so widened the distance and began to inject a lot of energy into his orb. The beads vibrated vigorously with a clanking sound. A strange pattern shimmered on the surface of the bead.
Kim Mu-gong watched the scene with interest. A vessel using internal air. It was a rare thing to see even in Protestantism. Dang So-so, who opened the distance almost to the end of the stage, bit his mouth. I couldn’t turn back anymore.
“I would recommend avoiding it. I don’t know if that’s possible.”
With a low voice, the orb soared into the air. The orb that came close to Kim Moo-gong emitted a bright light.
Boom – Eventually, the marble exploded with a roar. Kim Mu-gong watched the process one by one. Even the bright light emitted by the beads was impossible to block Kim Mu-gong’s vision.
‘It’s interesting.’
It wasn’t just gunpowder. It is said that studies using gate by-products are active in the United States and Europe, and it seems that the same is true. The beads exploded and small grain-like things embroidered the sky. It looked beautiful at first glance as it glistened overhead in the sunlight.
However, the reality was grim. Each of the hundreds of lightly crossed particles contained enough deadly energy to take away the life of an ordinary person. It was more like a cluster bomb than a simple grenade. Each sphere had explosive power. According to common sense in reality, it would have been absurd, but the party realized it with their own technology.
‘Strengthening self-defense. No.’
The decision was made in an instant. Here, when he used self-defense techniques, he was the same as revealing that he was at his peak. He didn’t even have to reveal it openly.
The memorization of the text was certainly inconclusive. The attacks pouring in as fast as cannonballs were hit only when humans could not respond with the speed of reaction.
However, it was the power of will that made the impossible possible. A red aura radiated from Kim Mu-gong’s body. Towards the orb of light pouring down like rain, Kim Mu-gong raised his right palm to the sky.
Blood Magic Art
Fire Dragon Ascension
The world was dyed red. Bubbeopbong- A colossal light wave stretched high into the sky with the momentum to erase everything around it. The spheres of light melted in the heat, literally raining fire all over the sky.
Beneath it, Kim Mu-gong’s arms drew a circle. Glow flames, which had erased everything, began to gather between the palms of Kim Mu-gong, connecting like a thread.
‘Nonsense.’
Dang So-so couldn’t believe what he was seeing right now. Responding to Mancheon Hwawoo in that way, and the mysterious appearance of fire rains falling from the sky gathering in one place. It just didn’t feel real.
I thought I would raise a self-defense guard and force myself to hold on. And usually that’s right. If I did that, I would get hurt a lot, but I wouldn’t die.
But now, Mu-gong Kim had no scars or soot. Kim Mu-gong floated the flames gathered in his hands on top of his right hand. He observed the sphere with interest.
[Is this the end?]
Putting an orb that emitted as bright as the sun in his hand, Kim Mu-gong sent a telegram. Dang So-so’s shoulders drooped. He lost even after using a golden dragon weapon to the extreme poisoning of the old school. It was an inexcusable, complete defeat.
It felt as if the entire party, not just himself, had knelt down to Kim Mu-gong.
However, there was no point in trying to force it now. I don’t know what he did, but Dang So-so, in contrast to the peaceful Kim Mu-gong, was suffocating just getting close to that enormous heat.
“…I lost.”
In the end, Dangsoso declared surrender. At the same time, Mugong Kim clenched his fists tightly. The sun that descended on his hand disappeared. The heat that had been heating up around him quickly dissipated.
[Our contract. If you weren’t involved in the darkness of the party. And if you are thinking of digging into the darkness of the gate, keep an eye on it.]
Hearing the transmission of Kim Mu-gong behind his back, Dang So-so went down the stage.
Even if he didn’t want to pay attention, the story Kim Moo-gong sent during his military service was embedded in Dang So-so’s mind like a firebrand.
‘Our contract.’
Like the strange current that flowed in the family, if the party is truly doing something wrong as Kim Mu-gong said.
What should the party itself do?
The answer did not come easily.
***
I stared at Dang So-so staggering down the stage.
Before the rain, I came up with the idea of ending it as soon as possible. However, the moment I met Dangsoso, I felt something strange.
A heavy gait and a strangely withdrawn attitude. It was the opposite of the proud hostility he had shown before. Warning there. On the other hand, the face of the Tang Mun man on the Murim Meng side was full of a fishy smile.
Dangmun was centered on bloodlines. No matter how much Dangsoso is in the direct line of the Tang family, it is in fact the successor position, but it would not have been possible to just ignore the elders of the family with the age difference. I judged that I must have messed up something, and that was the correct answer.
That last one.
If I had been at the level of a ‘normal’ peak master, I could have died. Considering that Dangso and even the man were extremely embarrassed, it must not have been a common weapon in the Tang Dynasty. I didn’t even think that such a thing could be easily mass-produced in the first place.
When I tried it with a whole tone, Tang Xiao Xiao seemed to know nothing about the darkness of Tang Wen. How will she react when she finds out the truth of the matter?
Will I overcome the darkness and go on a different path from the original future?
Or will they be eaten by their own darkness as they have been in history?
‘The seeds were planted.’
The form in which it would germinate was an unknown territory to me as well. It is already too twisted from the original history. Precise predictions were not possible.
If it doesn’t stretch in the right direction… You’ll have no choice but to cut out the entire gate.
