Chapter 309 – 8. Even in Front of the Abyss… (4)
Quadduk!! Quick!
Roa, who was striking the sword between the cracks and cracks in the red monster’s carapace and widening the cracks, looked at the red monster, who was unable to even struggle properly.
It took a bit of time, but considering the energy consumed, it felt like I spent less than usual.
“Isn’t the fuel efficiency not so good with the usual way?”
YuRia sighed in response.
She’s confident, so it doesn’t matter if she uses her power quite a lot, but she seems to ask that she take care of herself as well.
“Eh, ego. Oh, okay”
She must have made Yuria tired.
As well as she herself
Next time I’ll have to do it really quickly or she’ll have to take it slow.
Still a bit stronger than now.
Jjwoong -!!
As the monster’s body was cut into pieces and rolled on the floor, Roa cut it into pieces again.
To the left and to the right.
It took time, but the cracks that had already been created grew out of control, and more and more fragments began to fall.
In the end, the monster whose limbs were separated from its body was still struggling, but it was in a state where it couldn’t use its strength anymore.
Roa then looked at Yuria and pretended to hit a mortar with her hand, and YuRia shook her head.
Instead, she gestured as if she were taking control, and Loa quietly released her hand from the stick.
Talos tucked his sword behind his back and slowly approached the dismembered creature, its torso broken.
Then, even though it had already been cut into pieces, he lifted up the limbs of a giant bigger than Talos, gathered them in one place, and took a strange posture.
As a Loa, I wanted to know what this was, but I said to the black sphere that formed between Talos’ hands.
“Black hole?”
“Ah…”
It seems to have said ‘no’.
When I threw it toward the giant’s limbs as if pushing it lightly, the giant’s limbs were instantly sucked into the sphere, and a red sphere was completed in an instant.
“Ah, it’s a little vague to use a mortar now, so you want to make it look like some sort of sealing technique?”
“Cadet!”
It seems to be ‘yes’ this time.
Talos picked up the red orb and sent it back to sub-space, and only then did Yuria release her hand from her control stick.
From the outside, it seems that only gravity was used, but it was a feat that was difficult for a Loa to follow as it was a mixed operation of supernatural power and gravity.
* * *
The monster, which had been split from the body and had its limbs divided, was still walking around without dying, but the black giant put his sword in and gathered the limbs of the red giant and piled them up, making it a small, no, huge ball about the height of a person, but considering the size of the giant, It was made into a small sphere that can only be called small and sealed.
Then, as if the sealed dictation was sent somewhere out of reach of people, the red sphere disappeared.
At this point, I had to admit it.
That they came to solve the situation that happened in this land.
Everyone gathered here is at their minimum. Some of them, including himself, were at their peak, but a complete sense of defeat came when they saw them so easily catching that gigantic giant that they could barely scratch.
But I was even more afraid of it.
Right now, the power of the black giants is heading towards those red giants who are said to threaten the world, but it is not known what will happen after all the red giants are dealt with.
Even if everyone in the world might point a finger at him, he thought he had to make a decision.
Otherwise, Moorim’s future is. Because the future of this East will never be bright.
‘Eggs don’t fit in one basket’
That black giant is an egg in a basket.
It must have been a masterpiece of a lifetime that put all of their abilities into that giant, and seeing that it was made by purifying the corpse of a divine beast and using it generously, it would not be possible to manufacture it again.
The question is, will that be one or two? That was the problem.
‘The young man manipulating that piece looks a bit foolish, so I’ll have to teach him well to dig up information… ‘
The best way is to seize the item, but the item seemed to have an ego, albeit faintly, like a famous sword covering the owner, as it showed signs of following the owner on its own even after the owner got off.
Even if the owner dies, they won’t easily recognize someone else as the owner.
If there were two of them, the West Continent would surely send the remaining one to recover the lost treasure.
It was a very self-evident fact that the bloody retribution would follow in the process.
If only I could take control of that piece.
There is nothing to be afraid of if they are newly sent from the West Continent if they can perform martial arts with that instrument, but if not, the East will fall miserably.
Okay. Like the Demonic Cult that was pushed out of the past struggle for supremacy.
Taegeukgeomju’s head turned furiously.
How can I rule out that huge threat?
I thought it would never be easy.
In particular, I thought the situation was even worse when I saw the awe-inspiring eyes about that object spreading among the young warriors.
After the battle, the gaze of the people around them was completely different when they saw the westerners who got off the vessel again.
Is it because he genuinely felt that he came purely to prevent the destruction of this world from the way he obediently followed this side despite having such a powerful power? The vigilant appearance he had before was no longer visible.
Taegeukgeomju quietly looked into the eyes of the representatives of the other Sega and munpa while showing even a look of envy with only half-awe eyes.
As expected, they were shown to be wary of him with very careful eyes, as if they had similar thoughts.
Whether it was their prerogative. Whether it’s genuinely concerned about the order of this land and Moorim. It was clear that he was wary of him.
Taegeukgeomju quietly sent a signal to them, and they quietly got out of the crowd and talked carefully.
[Sword Master, seeing that you called us here, you must be of the same opinion]
[You may not see it as a very similar idea, but the existence of that object itself is a great threat to the order of this continent, country, and Murim. If we make a mistake, we might end up in the same situation as those Demonic Cults]
Those words that you might end up in the same situation as the Demonic Cult.
It was their wrath, but on the other hand, it was the pinnacle.
[Hmm, I’m not saying too harshly]
[Do you want to be dignified even in the current situation? The only ones who will listen anyway are us, who are sharing electronically.]
Everyone cleared their throats and looked at the master of the Taegeuk Sword.
[After all, as descendants of those who once ushered in a new era and representatives of a generation that has now become obsolete, we have a duty to maintain the current order. After all, great blood always flows in the new order. Then, even if that blood is innocent, it would not be right for the blood of a foreigner to flow.]
[In other words… That young man?]
Seeing the young man from the West Station talking with some cautiously approaching warriors, being envied by everyone like a hero, everyone sent a worried look to the Taegeuk Sword Master.
[It won’t be easy. Public opinion is not good at the moment.]
[Above all, it is dangerous right now. As we saw a little while ago, the enemy giant was a monster that could barely get a scratch even with his strong sword, and that black giant was not scratched even with his strong sword. Of course, even if it is blocked over the shield]
Considering that the shield and the armor wrapped around the body of the black giant seemed to be made of the same material, there was a strong possibility that the body of the black giant was virtually impermeable to strong energy, just a difference in thickness.
[What will the enemy giants do if there is no black giant there?]
At that, everyone fell into silence for a moment.
[How to boil a dog after hunting]
[That!?]
[Taeguk Sword Master, I think you misunderstood my person. Could it be that?]
Taegeuk Geomju gave him a sharp look and raised his eyes.
[I didn’t say ‘Salbulsaljosalbusalmo’. When I meet Buddha, I cut Buddha; when I met Patriarch, I cut Patriarch;
[That means… However, the word is not used in that sense.]
[In maintaining the order of this world, the good or evil of the target to be cut is not important. The important thing is to make the blood of this land flow as little as possible. In order to do that, even if the target is a Buddha, you just have to cut it]
At those words, there was silence for a moment among everyone.
[Those eyes look like they’ve already made up their mind]
Taegeukgumju’s eyes were very firm.
He was not asking for consent to tell this story now.
It sounded like a notice that if they did not comply with this cause, they would also slash themselves.
Those who felt it groaned and looked at the Taegeuk Sword Master.
In fact, it was as if they were half-forced into his ruse.
[Then what are you going to do now?]
[I’ll have to come up with a plan from now on. No matter how you take it away or seal it. In order to do that, we must first get as much information as possible about that object from that young man. By all means, while that young man takes care of all the red giants. Thinking of a way is next.]
Everyone nodded at Taegeukgumju’s words.
What if I just killed the young man, and the piece that lost its owner went crazy and said it would avenge its owner?
What if there was a way to get hold of that piece?
Above all, seeing that it follows the young man naturally even if no one is inside, it must be a piece of equipment to hide the owner, but in dealing with the young man, if the young man does not die more easily than expected, no one knows what will happen.
They were talking so quietly and secretly that they didn’t even notice.
There must be someone eavesdropping on all the conversations over the radio that no one but them heard.
That Yuria was glaring at them with salty eyes from inside Talos.
* * * * * *
Cheolkkeong -!!
As Talos’ cockpit closed, YuRia raised the lid again and made a very angry expression, which made Loa’s heart drop.
She wondered if she had done something wrong, but realizing that she didn’t feel that sting, that Yuria’s anger was not her own, she quietly moved to YuRia’s side.
“What’s going on?”
“…”
Yuria pointed at all the Murim people around her and made a gesture as if she had horns on her head.
“Everything is bad?”
YuRia has been giving a really exaggerated nod.
By mobilizing not only the head, but also the waist.
“Very, very bad?”
Nod.
I don’t know what the hell is going on, but for now, Roa put Yuria’s opinion deep in her heart.
“I don’t know, but I’ll try my best not to trust them.”
YuRia nodded her head at him, tapped her Talos with the palm of her hand, and drew an X with her finger across her mouth.
“Say nothing about Talos?”
Yuria nodded her head at him.
After thinking about it for a while, Roa thought about why Yuria expressed such an opinion.
“Are they trying to steal Talos?”
YuRia nodded her head.
In addition, she made the gesture of pointing at Loa and slicing her neck with her thumb.
“You’re trying to kill me and take Talos?”
To Yuria who nodded her head loudly again, Roa sent chills down her spine.
She wondered if she had misunderstood it, but thinking about it again, she seemed to have understood correctly when she saw YuRia’s angry expression.
That said, she understood why Yuria was so upset.
It was to the point of wonder that I didn’t kill all of them with my eyes closed right now.
“…”
That probably doesn’t mean all of them.
If that were the case, not Talos, but Yuria’s ability alone, everyone here would have died without knowing how they would die.
“Did that kind of talk circulate within the boss class?”
“To?”
Yuria looked at Roa with her eyes wide open as if she was really surprised.
How did you know? With a look like that.
“If all of them really had the same intention, I would have killed them all.”
“…”
YuRia, who was hesitant for a moment, seemed to be herself… As if trying to say it with a look on her face, she eventually closed her eyes.
Come to think of it, if that was the case, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t have killed all of them at once.
“Did you tell me to fight lightly because there was a future like this, or because I was afraid that a future like this would happen?”
YuRia nodded her head, still showing her anger.
“Then what should I do?”
In response, Yuria created an illusion and expressed the appearance of acting apart from their group.
“Let’s act separately? But if that’s their purpose, will they really try to separate?”
“…”
After pondering for a moment, Yuria came up with an excuse.
On the vision of Talos she made the battery mark. I don’t know what the battery is, but when the green pillar inside the battery shrinks and turns yellow, then shrinks more and turns red, the illusion-made Talos moves to the illusion-made white watch.
And while watching the vision of Talos’ energy rising again in the white watch, the loa said heheh? And a smile formed on her lips.
“Originally, the power source of the white whale is Talos, but let’s talk backwards, is this?
Watching Yuria nod her head, Roa nodded her head as well.
“Okay. Let’s talk like that.”
Loa opened her mouth, activating her external speakers.
“Can you hear me?”
* * *
“Can you hear me?”
From that huge black giant, the voice of the young man who had climbed a moment ago spread out.
Everyone looked at the black giant in amazement at the sound, which sounded like it was resonating a little, but was greatly expanded.
“The remaining energy of Talos seems to be running low, so it seems that it needs to go back to the ship to recharge. So, energy is similar to chi.”
At Roa’s words, Taegeukgumju, hm? And looked at Talos.
Energy, or qi-like power. That object did not move indefinitely, but it seemed to be a type that could be charged with power and act within the charged power.
“A pear?”
At someone’s question, the giant hummed again.
“I’m sure you all know it. It’s a ship called the White Watch.”
At the word ‘baekkyung’ the young man said, the surroundings began to hum.
Someone seems to know about Baekkyung. Who doesn’t seem to know about Baekkyung?
Taegeukgeomju also hadn’t heard of Baekkyung, so while struggling with what to say, a master writer who had been conspiring with him a while ago quietly delivered it by transmission.
[A large ship in the western region that is believed to have appeared about 15 days ago. It was so incredibly huge that everyone was astonished, and so incredibly fast that everyone doubted whether it really existed, but looking at that giant, the rumor seems to be true.]
It’s an incredibly big and fast ship…
“Then, let’s part here today. I will subdue them again after filling up Talos’ energy.”
As it was, everyone just blankly looked at the back of the black giant, who was moving away in an instant with agile movements unlike that of a giant.
“Gyeol, even light engineering…”
“Considering the weight of that huge size, what kind of realm is it?”
By the time everyone was admiring it, the gatekeepers, who were only thinking about dealing with the young man in the west region, were only sweating.
He thought he only had the ability to handle powerful objects, but looking at the light martial arts that he performed with his huge body a moment ago, it seemed that the young man himself was not easygoing.
If he could perform such a high-level light attack by unleashing his own body and manipulating equipment, how much would he be able to do with his body?
“Perhaps that young man himself is in transcendence.”
“Uhm, when this happens, the plan…”
“Sword Master, what should I do?
“…”
After thinking for a while, Taegeukgumju opened his mouth with a firm expression.
“On the contrary, it made me determined to deal with it even more.”
“However, if we do something wrong, we too may suffer great damage and be overturned by the Demonic Cult.”
At their words, Taegeukgeomju looked at them as if he really thought so.
“Do you really think so?”
“…”
“I’d be really disappointed if I thought that the Demonic Cult couldn’t overturn the current situation because of lack of power.”
At Taegeukgeomju’s words, everyone was silent.
“I know very well that order cannot be achieved only with good and evil. I want to pursue goodness, but to do so requires too much blood, so I decided to help maintain the current order. Don’t do it”
“Sword Master…”
“So…You better not back down either. Remember that I gave up my convictions to reduce the blood on this land, not because I thought you were right, but because I couldn’t fix everything. If you want to escape this path. This situation. If you want to escape this stream, you really don’t know what choice you’ll make.”
The gatekeepers who caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Demon in the Taegeukgeomju’s appearance quietly held their breath.
A tenacity that gave up even beliefs for the sake of order.
He even broke his own convictions, but what is it that he can’t throw away?
At last. It was as if everyone gathered here had already been poisoned.
Such a terrible poison that I can’t get out of.
It was all or nothing now.
Either continue this uncomfortable tranquility by taking a bigger advantage.
Or did it fall miserably?
They are more than the red giant at this moment. The Taegeukmunju felt more like a monster than the black giant.
And, if such a Taegeukgeomju is a monster, what on earth are they that are uglier than that?
“…”
“…”
For some reason, they, who had never felt ashamed until now, began to feel ashamed of themselves.
However, the regret is already too late.
Even if they came far, it was already too late.
Following the monster called Makyo, they eventually gave birth to another monster called Taegeukgeomju.
