Chapter 710 – Laughter of Martial Arts
A huge plaza appeared in front of the party who had been wandering around for almost half a day. At the end of the huge cavity, which is completely different from the existing narrow cave, you can see a ruin built with bricks made of baked mud.
“… Is that the place where the blood god is sealed?”
“It will be right.”
Since it was a 2D game decades after the original was released, the final dungeon I saw in the game was described in a crude way. However, since he was still able to infer the appearance to some extent even from the game map, Seong-il was able to be sure that the ruins in front of him were the place where the blood god was sealed under the circumstances.
“Then let’s go.”
As soon as Hye-won hears Seong-il’s words, she tries to approach her entrance without hesitation. Seong-il, who was about to let them go without much restraint, recalls that there is a surprise event to greet users at her entrance, and she stops them.
“For a moment!!”
“… ?”
When Seong-il suddenly calls out to them, Hye-won and Hye-myeong look at Seong-il with puzzled expressions. While they look away for a while, two amulets attached to the entrance in the shape of an X fall and float in the air, spreading ominous power around them.
『This is a place where the living should not enter… Let’s go back…』
Interestingly, the amulet threatens the party by transforming into a gigantic grotesque ghost wearing heavy armor all over its body and emitting purple flames from its eyes.
“Backwards!!”
Seong-il hurriedly calls the two away. Hearing his urgent cry, the two monks try to examine the situation with their heads turned forward. In the meantime, a sharp spear shot at the two monks.
“Hup!!”
When a sharp attack suddenly arrives, Hyewon and Hyemyung hurriedly correct their stance and take the unique Rahhan-kwon jockeying ceremony. Then, a divine golden strong energy erupted from the two clenched fists.
‘He seems to be skillful at using strong skills now.’
Although the power of Pasa is not as strong as his own specialty, the Sunyang Ganggi, it is a Buddhist Ganggi that has the characteristics of being extremely hard. The two monks skillfully wear that power all over their bodies, then charge at the ghost without hesitation and punch them.
Caan!!
『The intruder… To be destroyed… Build…!』
When the gwijang wields a sword with a gloomy purple fire flowing over it, the two monks are unafraid and confront each other with golden fists.
Surprisingly, when the fist and the sword collide, the sharp and loud sound that appears only when steel collides with steel fills the square.
“Dole! They seem like guardians protecting the seal, but it’s impossible to convince them!!”
The two monks postpone the decisive killing in case they can get help. However, Seong-il knew very well that the existence in front of him was nothing more than a mid-boss who could not be persuaded by anything.
“Impossible. All the ghosts and soldiers inside show an aggressive reaction to outsiders.”
“Hmm!!”
Hearing Seong-il firmly say that there is no room for persuasion, the two monks completely abandon their defense-focused attitude and try to counterattack by bending their bodies.
“Huup!!”
Hyemyeong and Hyewon, who exuded a unique and heavy spirit that only a monk can emit, radiated a sacred and strong energy that only a monk can emit from their entire bodies in all directions and threw their fists at the ghost.
『Ohhh!!!』
Kwaaaaang!! Quaang!!
In an attempt to resist the two monks’ rough offensive, Gwijang wields his sword roughly in his own way and launches a bloody counterattack in all directions. Thanks to this, the floor is broken, the air is torn, and the bloody noise of being sprayed fills the plaza.
“Lawlessness endures forever… !!”
『Kuaaaaa… !!』
For an ordinary warrior, the speed and power of the attack may be threatening, but the two monks have recently gained a chance and become ridiculously strong.
Therefore, even if she is lucky enough to be attacked by Gwijang, Hyewon lightly withstands Gwijang’s attack with a strong shield made of inner air, and then sprays her powerful Nahan Kwon on her face again.
『Turn it off… !!』
In the end, the appearance of the ghost who kneels in the wave of the two people. Seong-il could see the scene and unexpectedly felt that those two would not hold on to his ankles.
‘Surprisingly, if I do well, there won’t be any problems?’
Seong-il, who deliberately waited to watch the two fight in action, approached them with a calm expression and handed them a potion when the two monks quickly succeeded in overpowering the demons.
“Hmm! Aren’t you tired yet?”
“No. Please eat. There are plenty of potions anyway, and they’re still being produced in real time, so you don’t have to waste any amount.”
As Seong-il has enough consumables, he asks the two monks not to waste the potion. Reminding them once again how important their mission is.
“But. That’s right. It is not the time to save anything when you think of the misfortune that will happen if you do not subdue the blood god.”
The two monks calmly agree with Seong-il’s words and drink the various potions he gave them to restore their condition to their best state.
“Everyone be nervous because this is the real beginning.”
“I understand.”
After answering lightly, Seong-il scatters the wooden dolls prepared in advance on the floor and summons dozens of his ordinary alter-ego and his main power, the split-honed alter-ego.
“You guys will lead your ordinary alter egos to battle.”
“Leave it to me!”
Split soul alter egos that have increased to five before I knew it. At Seongil’s command, they each lead their regular alter egos to prepare for battle.
When the two monks are puzzled by Seong-il’s behavior of suddenly summoning a lot of clones, Seong-il takes out Arun Labe from his bosom and calmly enters.
“Once inside, you will understand why.”
“Hmm!”
At Seong-il’s words that there is a reason, the two monks do not let go of their guard at all and start entering the ruins of the body, maintaining their strength.
“This…”
A building that looks like an altar when you enter the interior. In the center of the building, which looked like a stepped pyramid, there was a stairway with dense letters written on it, and lanterns and mortuary tablets were installed on the left and right side of the pyramid-shaped building, giving off eerie fire.
“… What is on that altar?”
“Yes. It is a place where the blood god is sealed. Everyone, prepare for battle.”
“… Wasn’t it necessary to break the seal before the fight?”
“Why did I summon so many clones?”
Seong-il smiles slightly at Hye-myeong’s question, and then orders his alter ego to prepare for a large-scale battle. Then, as if reading the thoughts of such a holy day, a gloomy energy emanates from the mortuary tablets and lanterns installed on the altar, and they turn into ghosts and ghosts and pick up weapons.
“!!!”
“Be careful. You’ve seen their skills before, but fighting against the majority is a different story.”
“Dare! Invading this place where evil things are sealed! Get away now! Otherwise, I will cut you down!!”
A wild roar erupted from the mouth of the demon chief at the edge of the altar. There was one ghost chief for each floor of the altar, but Seong-il senses that he is the commander-in-chief of all these noble soldiers.
‘If I cut him down at once, the noble soldiers will be all but destroyed… There’s no need to roll your hair.’
There is even a way to enter the passage in the form of avoiding a fight with the noble army, but Seong-il decides to faithfully fight to get the hidden peace that comes out when all these noble soldiers and ghosts are defeated.
“Good!”
When Seong-il’s cry fell, the clones he summoned all at once picked up the magic wands prepared in advance and began to mercilessly sprinkle magic containing the power of thunderbolts at the noble soldiers.
『Big!!』
Of course, the noble soldiers, who assumed close combat and took a defensive stance, were struck by a powerful long-range attack that came out of nowhere and began to be smashed in an instant.
“Oh oh!! I will be able to subdue it soon!!”
Hye-myeong exclaims hopeful exclamations when she thinks that the noble soldiers will be subdued enough without fighting herself. However, the noble soldiers whose hopes were mercilessly crushed as if trampling on them begin to revive again with a dreary flame.
“No… That… What?”
“Those who die and come back to life. However, it does not live forever.”
In the first place, it was a standard map to fight to the death against monsters that revived even if the map itself was defeated, break through head-on to capture the commander-in-chief and reverse summon the henchmen, or break through the passage behind them to evade their pursuit.
“… But why do you want to fight to the end?! If you listen to the explanation of the donor, once you enter the top, it seems that the ghost soldiers can’t chase us, but why… ?”
“Yes, there is a reward after going through all these trials to the end.”
In the first place, Seong-il did this because he was already familiar with the hidden piece through the game play and strategy guide, but Hye-myeong and Hye-won, who do not know the circumstances, make faces that do not understand.
“Everything, I’m doing this because of the advice of the head of the Onmyokan, so just do it.”
Since it was not bothersome to tell them about the Hidden Peace issue, Seong-il gives an excuse to investigate the Yin-Yang Hall and runs to the enemy camp with Arun Labe.
『Kuaaa!!』
As Arun Rabe, filled with the power of divine slaughter, cuts her body, a terrible cry, like the scream of a living being, flows from the ghost’s mouth. When the noble bottle, which should have been revived three or four more times, disappears with just one knife, the nobles feel a sense of crisis and glar at Seong-il.
‘Unlike the noble soldiers who are only obsessed with fighting, the noble generals certainly know how to recognize problems.’
Perhaps feeling the holy day as a threat, the nobles commanded in unison to focus their attention on him. Then, all the noble soldiers in the hall rush toward Seongil with fierce momentum, ignoring the loss of their lives from the attacks of the clones around them.
“Dole!!”
Suddenly, more than 100 noble soldiers rush toward Seong-il, disregarding life and death, and Hye-won calls out to Seong-il in amazement.
“It’s okay.”
However, Seong-il lightly laughs at their rush and then uses the heavenly, yin-yang, and yin-yang technique to the extreme, transforming all internal energy into a pure-yang force, and then ejecting them to the outside at once.
『Kyaaaaa!!』
The energy of the extreme yang that radiates like the sun from Seongil’s body as the starting point. When the power that completely denies the dead touches the ghost’s body, the ghost screams and disappears.
‘Time domain… !!’
In the meantime, even slowing down the demon soldiers flocking to the time domain, Seong-il’s alter egos beat the vulnerabilities of the invading demon soldiers and repeatedly subdued them one by one.
“Dole! I will help you!”
As if they were still anxious even though things were going well, Hye-won and Hye-myung try to approach Seong-il to help him.
“Don’t come closer!!”
“…!!”
When Seong-il strongly refuses to help out of the blue, the two priests stop approaching with a bewildered expression. Fortunately, when they listened to him, Seong-il breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flew up into the air with his floating magic and used terrible dead magic at the demon soldiers clustered in a small area.
『Kyaaaaa!!』
When a terrible withering magic is used in a place where ghost bottles are concentrated, a terrible scream flows from the mouth of the dead. Seong-il’s alter egos were also quite hit by magic attacks, but Seong-il doesn’t regret it in the slightest, since the split-marriage alter egos, which would cause serious problems if damaged, were already left behind.
“Now…!!”
Seong-il, when all the weak ghosts disappear and only relatively strong ghost masters remain, he gives a signal by shouting strongly to the two monks and the second half of the spirit.
『You intruder…!』
Gwijang, who is the commander-in-chief, realizes the meaning of such tricks and shouts in an angry tone, then rushes toward Seong-il.
‘You’re the last man.’
Seong-il, who is well aware of the conditions for obtaining the hidden piece, ignores the general and thoroughly selects only the generals and persistently cuts them down.
『Gaak!!』
Seong-il, who uses Sunyangganggi, is a natural enemy to ghosts.
Because of this, despite having strong skills, the demons are vainly cut by Arunrabe and begin to disappear one by one.
“Huup!!”
As the ghosts died one by one, the number of resurrections of the ghosts also began to decrease, and thanks to this, Hyemyeong and Hyewon, who had time to spare, began to hunt the ghosts protruding out of the outskirts one by one.
“Now, are you the only one left?”
『…』
Instead of answering, the gwijang tries to keep the holy day in check by brutally burning the naturalization of the body. However, Seong-il, who quickly grasped the ghost’s weakness using his empathy, spreads the time domain to dull the ghost’s body and then charges at him.
“Bye.”
『Kwaaaaa!!』
He resisted fiercely, but in the end, he could not withstand the attacks of Arunrabe and Sunyangganggi and collapsed.
‘Are they coming…?’
Seong-il looks at the sight of the demon disappearing with an expression full of anticipation. Fortunately, he did not disappoint his expectations and a book and an amulet appeared in the place where the ghost was destroyed.
