Chapter 294 – 6. The Collapsed Ojakgyo (5)
“Uh, uh… Aaaaa…”
Amidst the thin echoes of painless moans, everyone consciously ignored them.
Ironically, in the midst of the terrible pain of being burned from the inside of her body and her whole body literally being cooked alive, the girl was regenerating and reviving endlessly due to the extreme yang energy that was burning her alive.
The girl, still burning endlessly like a phoenix regenerating by burning itself, let out an endless groan, feeling only her pain with her ripe brain.
The girl’s body was always naked, as the girl’s body was always so hot that if she touched it, it wasn’t too long to reach the tree, and the flames would rise.
She said it was the only way to do it, so she tried filling a thin iron coffin with sand and burying herself in the sand so that only her face would come out of the sand. Was
When such a girl periodically poured water on the sand inside her iron coffin left behind by her, and looked at her breasts protruding from the sand, her Demonic Cultist gulped for a moment and swallowed her saliva, but soon shook her head. I flinched.
How could she dare to touch her vessel to contain the sacred fire? Not for the same reasons. She had already burned her hand once and she had burned it badly.
She didn’t catch fire by touching it with wood for a while, but her skin was so hot that if you put wood on top of it, it wouldn’t take long to catch fire, so she wouldn’t even dare touch it.
She splashed water on the sand where the girl was buried and steam rose and the hot sand cooled.
After finishing the day’s work today, her man looked at the chest towering over her sand for a long time, as if regretting it, and then left her room.
Still, he thought.
If she touched it and felt it hot enough to burn her hands.
She is in such a state of the body, what on earth is she feeling the great heat?
* * * * * *
The Heavenly Demon and the Blood Ghost quietly glared at each other.
The sword of the Heavenly Demon in the hands of the Heavenly Demon, which had not been attacked by any attack, was completely scratched and tattered.
At least the core itself was fine, so there would be no problem exchanging swords with each other, but the blade was completely gone.
Nell’s claw was also in a bad condition.
Although it was not a weapon like a holy sword because she was not a hero, the claw, which was like a new sword made by different tribes for her, the guardian of Gash, was crushed and twisted here and there because the blade had already been damaged by the scorching heat, and was completely scrapped.
However, during that fierce battle, her hands and nails had been restored, so she was a little vague when it came to who had the advantage.
However, speaking of who suffered more loss, it was true that the blood demon Nell suffered more loss.
However. Considering that this fight was against the Heavenly Demon from the beginning, the gap between the two seemed clear.
The Heavenly Demon fought while limiting herself to protect the believers who were carrying Yuria. Considering that, except for the first few battles, Nell attacked him without mercy, with the spirit of thinking about the next thing after killing the Heavenly Demon, this battle was in fact a defeat for Nell.
Quite a bit of time had already passed, but his stomach was nowhere to be seen, and his own claws were completely scrapped, while only his opponent’s sword teeth were gone.
“Damn it…”
To think that this claw, which is like a divine instrument made by everyone in Gash, is so broken…
“What kind of power are you using?”
It was never that normal power.
Because the current power was never normal power.
All of Gash’s skills and powers, though not divine, are as good as divine. Not to mention the claws, which were made by mobilizing even the knowledge that Sae-ah had passed on. The power of a god he gained after becoming an apostle of Thebenoa.
And the god, enraged by the sight of his own mother burning alive, extends the power to the limit of what he can convey to this earth, but he is no different from him, no, he has a slight advantage…
On the other hand, even as the Heavenly Demon, Nel’s power was too abnormal.
Weapons and bodies that curse all things and maintain their form even though they draw out and use the black fire that burns them.
Above all, the appearance of shaving off the black fire that never goes out once it caught on so easily was also not normal.
‘The opponent… Are you using the power of a god?’
In the end, it was said that this fight was the same as a clash between the powers of the gods he had put on his back.
However, in the clash of gods’ powers, the outcome will eventually be decided according to the god’s hierarchy.
Even though Black Flame was the power of Angra Mainyu, who could be said to be the back side of Ahura Mazda’s demigod Spenda Mainyu, there was only one answer to being able to fight on such an equal footing.
The opponent’s god is also a high-ranking god comparable to Ahura Mazda.
Or, the opponent’s god is overdoing it and spreading excessive power.
“Under…”
Chen Ming began to have a sense of what the opponent’s identity was.
“Is there all this nonsense? A beast serving a human god?”
“…”
Nell lowered his ears low and glared fiercely at him with a growl and howl.
“So. What do dogs with poop say when they see a dog with their eyes on them or, no, a cat?”
At Nell’s words, Chen Ming burst into a self-deprecating laugh and opened his mouth.
“Yes, I’m using power I shouldn’t be using. But what made me this way. No!”
Chen Ming drew more and more black flames as his eyes turned red.
“It is this world that has made us this way!”
“Don’t interfere with someone who doesn’t care what the circumstances are!!”
Nephew and granddaughter! Do you have any weapons!? At this rate, my aunt and grandma’s hands will fly!!
Of course, as now, when Thebenoa is channeling almost all the power that can intervene in this world, even if the hand is blown off, it will be regenerated soon, but regeneration is regeneration, and the pain of burning the hand does not go away.
“What happened to you guys, what does that child have to do with it!!”
“Yes! It doesn’t matter. But what does it matter that we, who have already become demons, practice demons! This is more than the karma of those wicked sect hypocrites who turned us into demons.”
“Sophistry!!”
“And you guys from the West Continent also have something they want, so they sneaked into the East Continent to eat it!”
Those words really shocked Nell.
“That word is even more sophistry!”
Did they come to exploit or exploit something in the East Continent in the first place? While Sae-ah was looking for a way to somehow treat the child’s condition, didn’t he receive a request from the head of the spirits, rather than the dragon king?
More than anything.
Isn’t that dragon king a god from this eastern continent?
“Did you get the number wrong? Go to the Dragon King and ask him!!”
Even Chen Ming knows.
In the end, this is just an excuse for rationalization.
Even so. I can’t stop anymore.
“It is a sin that you are too coveted. Who wouldn’t be tempted if you carried such a coveted existence and waved it around in front of your eyes!”
“It’s like this bad guy!!”
It’s not some kind of sex offender logic.
“If you put it that way, it’s only natural for you guys to have suffered from the right-wing scoundrel!!”
“Shut up!!”
Stabbed to the point, he rushed towards Nell with thick black flame wrapped around the blade of the Heavenly Demon Sword, which had chipped teeth.
Seeing Chen Ming like that, Nel gritted her teeth and swung her nails as much divine power as possible into her nails.
* * * * * *
What will others say when they see the white whale now?
I had already tried to jump from waterway to waterway once, but it was different now and then.
The white whale was floated by the force of gravity, and Tamamo slowly pushed the ship with the power of magic. It was a relatively modest way, but now the story is different.
It was literally flying in the sky at such an incredible speed that even birds couldn’t keep up with it.
The starting sails and water sails to the left and right are all greatly expanded to their limits and they are running, taking in the wind as much as they can.
Having the sails wide open was more of a balancing act.
It was obviously Loa and Tamamo who provided the strength and skills necessary for the white whale to fly, but it was Methuselah, not Loa or Tamamo, who was controlling the white whale now.
Loa and Tamamo were just lending their strength.
And. Such loa and tamamo. And between Methuselah, there was a fan with rings made of illusions around her hands and arms like Yuria, with her spleen expression on her face.
“Tamamo… Come to think of it, didn’t you go around looking for this ship before?”
“… I’m ashamed of it, but in fact, there are too few functions on this ship that can be found out just by examining the spells inside the ship. Considering that I thought I knew everything, it was only the tip of the iceberg. I feel like I want to hide at all.”
At Tamamo’s words, Roa sighed and glanced out the window.
“I know it’s ridiculously fast, but how fast are you flying right now?”
Of course, even Loa could run faster than sound if she was determined and accelerated.
Of course, in order to do so, conditions must be met, and there are many restrictions on running like that, but it is clear that it can exceed the speed of sound.
But even so, the speed of this gigantic ship now felt so unusual.
In response, Fang twirled her hand in the air, recognized something about her, and tilted her head.
“What is this unit called?”
IAS – 999 Kn
Gs – 983Kn
Two speeds?
What else is Kn?
Everyone was tilting their heads as they couldn’t understand the unit displayed on the gauge, but if someone in the know had seen it, they would have seen it like this.
Airspeed 999 knots.
Ground speed 983 knots.
That’s roughly equivalent to Mach 1.5 per hour.
In fact, the position of the white whale marked in red above the guide line toward the destination marked on the map was speeding toward Hudson Bay with terrifying momentum.
Everyone just gulped and gulped as they watched the terrifying speed of the distance that would normally take them to sail for several days.
The principle that the white whale is flying like this now is just to increase the acceleration by floating the boat through the lift increase effect through the ground effect, just like the wig ship.
In other words. Surprisingly, the weight reduced by Roa was not so high.
The reason why the white whale flies in the sky is not because of the force of gravity. It emerged as a lift increase phenomenon caused by the ground effect caused by the shape of the protective film surrounding the white mirror and the speed produced by the white mirror, and in the early days, the weight reduction was considerably large for the speed, but now it has not been reduced so much.
This is because the speed gain obtained from the decrease in frictional resistance due to flying in the air after completely rising from the surface of the water is greater than the acceleration effect due to weight reduction.
Of course, from Methuselah’s point of view, even in the flight state that came out at the end of the calculation to obtain maximum speed with the minimum amount of force as possible, there could not be less power consumption in producing such an enormous speed, but it also contained its own calculations.
Considering the impact of this flight on the surroundings anyway, considering that this speed is only possible in an open sea with nothing around, reduce the longest distance as quickly as possible in this sea and slow down the movement in the waterway on land. During the time, Roa and Tamamo made plans in the direction of recovery.
Of course, this was not Methuselah’s unilateral plan. Because Mudhsela did not have the authority to do so.
This was the order of Roa and Tamamo. The fastest way to go. The fastest way to go is just a calculation based on an order.
In the end, it was Roa and Tamamo who agreed to the plan.
And in most of the adjustments, it is Methuselah or one that is correcting. It was Fang who was still controlling her boat, sweating profusely.
A ship faster than an arrow.
A ship bigger than a whale.
Even though he knew the best way to control this ship, Fang, who was still just a child, was at the helm. The mental and psychological burden was too great.
This wasn’t the leaf boat that I used to float on the stream that sometimes flowed in front of my house.
To Pang, who was the only boat he had touched so far and was not even such a simple toy, it was scary to pilot such a huge and fast boat even with the help of someone invisible. Since I was in a relationship, I never had the slightest intention to take that position lightly.
If only her life had been saved. Risk one’s life
Didn’t Methuselah, who said that she was her mother’s servant, do the same?
I will do my best to help in every detail so that the ship never capsizes or has an accident, so I just have to steer the ship in the direction it needs to go.
For some reason, she doesn’t know, but she can support it because of a power issue, but she can’t pilot it herself, so she needs a pilot, so Fang grabbed her control stick.
* * *
Shoot ah-
A huge ship entering Hudson Bay. Inside the White Watch, three people were literally exhausted and gasping for breath.
Loa was lying flat on her stomach, and Tamamo gasped for breath as her complexion turned a little pale.
And Fang, who had to suffer from so much mental and psychological pressure throughout her manipulation, fell down and suffered a grunt, and Shen was nursing her by cooling her head with a wet towel.
“Oh my…”
It was still difficult to understand Roa, who had lost her energy and was lying on the floor panting.
This automatic flight currently in operation. Although the speed is said to be insanely fast, what is the difference between that high-speed flight and this automatic flight can be operated on its own. Is that high-speed flight not automatic?
What is his authority?
Hudson’s Bay is such a huge place that it’s correct to say that it’s a ‘bay’ but actually an inland sea, so even after arriving here, I didn’t see any other ships.
In a way, I didn’t know if it was a natural story.
The width of Hudson’s Bay was such a vast bay and inland sea that a whole kingdom could fit within it.
“I thought something big would happen if something came in here, but it’s quieter than I thought…”
Qing, Yuan, Zhu. This narrow sea, which bordered these three countries and the Ming Empire, was literally a powder keg.
In addition to these four countries, if you are bored, you come down from the upper Song Dynasty or the Jin and Yuan kingdoms on the small continent, so there was no mess like this.
The relationship between profit and loss entangled in this was tangled and tangled like a Gordian knot, and there was no way to untie it.
Country and country. Individual and individual. Top top.
Here, even the pirates were entangled and it was a sea of chaos.
“It’s quiet right now, but you should be careful. You never know what will happen.”
Fang quietly controlled the white whale to create a haze around.
It was best to raise the fog in advance while it was still quiet and hide in it.
While other ships had to be checked by human eyes, they were able to leave a map floating in the air and check the surroundings while moving.
As I was hiding in the sea fog and moving quietly, other boats began to appear from time to time.
No. To be precise, it would be correct to say that he was finally detected by Baek Kyung.
Loa and Tamamo began to get a little nervous as they saw the existence of boats passing by at a distance of hundreds of meters.
It is not a matter of whether they are a danger to themselves. The friction with the state that might arise by creating friction with them was just annoying.
One in a million. If that caused a problem in finding Yuria, there wouldn’t be anything more difficult than that.
Right now, it was just moving towards the final destination, the gunmok.
With a vague clue that if you head there, you will be able to find Yeouiju. Due to the fact that the direction that the red hen, who seemed to know the whereabouts of YuRia, told her was the dry tree, she was just moving toward the dry tree, but she was only vaguely moving.
“For now, Baek Kyung is going well on her own, so let’s have a discussion. Where the hell will Yuria be? How can she find her? Etc.”
“Um…”
Then she raised her hand in a flash of Shen.
“Couldn’t there be a stronghold of the Demonic Cult where the Geonmok is?”
“Oh no way. It’s the capital of Ming, so can you be there?”
“They say it’s dark under the lamp.”
Tamamo didn’t think too deeply about Shen’s words, but she decided to keep that in mind.
“For now, let’s assume that and guess first. If there is a Demonic Cult’s stronghold near Geonmok, how on earth will they hide?”
“Western?”
“It’s something I really don’t know. Could it be that it’s there like us? I looked for it from the beginning without excluding it, so it might be that I’m really hiding under the lamp.”
Roa smiled bitterly as she looked at Tamamo, who was gloomy and seriously contemplating.
“And even if it’s not, I need a starting point to think about and reason about. If there’s really no hope of being there, the next candidate will naturally come out while making this reasoning.”
“…Surely, that’s it too”
So, as Shen said, the Demonic Cult is the capital of the empire. If that is also near the top of the world tree, where exactly is it?
And I began to make inferences while seriously thinking about how I could be there.
Looking at the map, the geonmok was quite large compared to the relatively small world tree, Sindansu.
The information we know now is that a palace was built near the geonmok to protect the geonmok, and a wide outer wall was built near the geonmok to protect the geonmok.
“What if they say they’re digging a tunnel and going in and out?”
“The name is to protect the tree, so wouldn’t they have set up a countermeasure like that?”
“Hmm…”
This time, Fang raised his hand first.
“What if there was a secret underground passage before Ming built castles and palaces? What if there was a natural cave that Ming didn’t know about and only the Demonic Cao knew about?”
“If that’s the case, sure…”
“Perhaps it’s not a natural cave or a passage made by digging more based on a natural cave that already existed. Considering the history of the empire and the history of the Demonic Cult, it’s hard to see the Demonic Cult first.”
“Then the Demonic Cult could have its base between the roots of the tree. Is that so?”
If so, what are the benefits to them?
If you think about it, if the people don’t know that the demons are there, then the demons have the advantage of being protected from the outside through their enemies.
I will do my best to protect the tree, and naturally, the demons living under the tree will also be protected.
Of course, it is under the premise that there is a Demonic Cult there.
“Is it because, unexpectedly, Geonmok recognizes the Demonic Cult?”
“…”
“No, that’s a bit… No, if that’s the case, is it surprisingly reasonable?”
If Geonmok acknowledges the Demonic Cultists, under the protection of Geonmok, you may receive help to keep the Demonicists from noticing, so it will be easier for the Demonicists to come and go there.
“For now, let’s keep this assumption in mind and think about it a bit more. For now, considering Yggdrasil in Gash, the World Tree must have a consciousness.”
Of course, the only person who could communicate with such a World Tree was Aunt Eileen, whom she had only met once.
The princess and queen of the elves, and the shrine maiden of the World Tree.
“Let’s change our thinking a bit. What if the World Tree’s shaman is a magician?”
“…Ah?”
If you think about it, the existence of the Demonic Cult is not a certain race or blood relative, but basically corresponds to a ‘religion’ that someone can choose according to their free will.
Ordinary people would not choose to become a Demonic Cult, but in any case, in this world, there is no choice but to make a choice. Sometimes, depending on the life of the world, there were cases where we were unwillingly forced to make choices that had no choice but to be that way.
Then, in the end, it was a situation where it was ‘unknown’ as to whether there was a sufficient probability that the shrine maiden of the World Tree was a demonic cult.
“It seems like something I need to think about quite deeply…”
“Certainly in that situation, there is nothing strange about the fact that the Demonic Cultists live in the basement of the tree. No. Above the tree.”
Roa groaned and seriously thought about it, and once again ventilated her surroundings.
“Let’s think more and more. And before that, we don’t have one more thing to think about.”
“One more thing to think about? …Wait”
Come to think of it, it reminded me of the riots in the vicinity of the capital of Ming before.
“This, this… Will it be okay?”
“There’s nothing special… If something goes wrong, we have no choice but to put down Tamamo and run away.”
Tamamo tilted her head at those words.
“Tamamo can transform into many forms, right?”
“…I see. In other words, the concubine hides there in a different form, finds various information there, and finds clues about the welfare.”
“It’s a bit much to end up being hit only by Tamamo, but if the situation really goes badly, there’s no other way than that right now.”
Loa looked at Tamamo with a dark expression.
“I should hope that such a situation does not happen, but if you find yourself in such a worst situation, please ask Tamamo…”
At Roa’s words, Tamamo quietly closed her eyes.
“As much as you like, Mr. West. Even if it means willingly giving up my life, I will definitely do it.”
