“… … Then, that blood was the blood of a colleague who was killed by the demon of Suramun?”
“… … .”
Nod.
As Gwa Cheol-ho opened his mouth with a stern expression, his complexion looked even paler than when I was suffocating while washing him.
“They described it as hunting… ”
Gwacheolho stammered as he told what had happened.
During the search, they discovered the place where Suramun was staying in a forest in Zhangjiajie. But at the same time, he was discovered by the demons of Suramun, who had sharp senses like wild animals. And as if they were hunting, they slowly drove Gwa Cheol-ho’s colleagues to death.
“And among them, there was a particularly cruel and strong demon.”
“Who on earth is that?”
“… It is a political situation in which Tuma ascended to the position of lord of Suramun after his death. I guess he probably came into the midfield to prove his legitimacy. If we achieve revenge on the previous munju, we will be able to solidify our position within Sura Gate.”
Namgoongmu, who heard the whole story, muttered in a low voice.
“Jeong Se-geuk… Then he must be the culprit of this incident.”
“This incident… ?”
As Gwacheolho tilted his head, Namgoongmu told him about the strange things he felt in the village.
When Gwa Cheol-ho heard that a village a few days away from here was massacred by an unknown group, his hands began to tremble again.
“That must be the village where our Yuyeongdae was stationed… ”
“As expected… ”
“We must run away now! They’ll be chasing you soon! That’s why I kept saying I had to hide!”
“Didn’t you arrive here by avoiding them?”
“No one can tell when and where those demons will suddenly appear… I still can’t forget the scene where their leader, Jeong Se-geuk, assassinated my colleague alive… ”
‘The demon named Jeong Se-geuk seems to be quite a macho guy.’
If he had been covered in the blood of his colleague that was on Gwa Cheol-ho, it was understandable to some extent why he reacted like a crazy person.
It wasn’t difficult for me, who had raised my strength level, to do the same thing, but even imagining it was something that offended me.
An atrocity truly worthy of the word mine.
‘It could be a fun fight.’
It is true that Jeong Se-geuk, who tore apart Gwa Cheol-ho’s colleague, possessed unusual strength, but he probably used internal strength.
I wondered how long it would take to defeat him if I were to face him, who can be said to be a minor version of Tuma.
‘And above all… It’s highly likely that it’s already too late to run away now.’
I thought as I glanced at Gwacheolho.
It is believed that a village a few days away from here has already been annihilated by the demons of Suramun.
A martial artist would have had enough time to arrive at our village a long time ago.
Above all, the blood that covered Gwa Cheol-ho was the proof.
There were traces of dried blood that had soaked into the clothes here and there, but blood that had not dried completely was also on the entrance to Yeonhwagak.
I don’t know how excellent Gwa Cheol-ho’s method of reviving was, but I could guess that the place where he used his comrade’s blood wasn’t that far from this village.
Even if there was a distance because Gwa Cheol-ho’s innovation techniques were better than expected, as he said, there seemed to be no way that demons with excellent wild senses would miss the traces of blood spilled so openly.
I don’t think he would have calmly erased any traces of his movements on the way here with that kind of mentality.
‘This guy is also secretly a troll.’
I spoke to Gwa Cheol-ho in a calm tone.
“If they show up, all you have to do is have them follow Moonju, who went first.”
“Who are you… ?”
He doesn’t look that old, but he keeps spitting informal language, and he manipulates the water that washed him down earlier. The more I thought about it, the more I got the feeling that he was someone with something.
Gua Cheol-ho looked puzzled when he saw that I was the only one in the group who didn’t even use Hao Che.
“I am Namgoong Minho.”
Gwa Cheol-ho, who was shocked to hear that we were members of the Namgung family, made an expression that almost made his eyes pop out when he found out that I was Namgung Min-ho.
“I, Namgoong Minho… ! The one who cut off Tuma’s head… !”
Gwa Cheol-ho, who seemed out of breath for a while, approached me and spoke as if pleading.
“Then there is no more time! The target that monster is aiming for could be Namgoong Minho Sohyeop!”
at that time.
thud!
“… … !”
The sound of something falling on the roof of Yeonhwagak was heard.
The group quickly lowered their posture and looked towards the ceiling.
“No… no… ”
Gwa Cheol-ho, who was sitting on the floor in a very frightened state due to the sudden sound coming from above, soon turned his gaze and looked at Nam Gung-moo’s waist.
He stood up while looking at the Cheonggang sword hanging there.
“Sword, sword… ! I need a sword to protect myself… !”
“What are you doing now!”
Namgoongmu, who was holding the sword handle and preparing to strike, expressed his displeasure at Gwacheolho’s actions as he held onto the sword’s sheath and stretched out.
‘what… Since I couldn’t see the sword sheath on his waist, I wondered what kind of martial arts he had learned. Was it just lost?’
While I was quietly watching the skit, I went up behind Gwa Cheol-ho and tapped him on the shoulder.
Tuk-tuk.
“I’ll give you a sword, so look here.”
“Sword… The sword… Kuep… !”
Poop!
dump…
And he punched Kwak Cheol-ho’s chin as he turned his head when he heard that he was giving him a sword. With that one punch, he fell to the floor with whites from his eyes.
“Would I give a sword to a guy who is clearly crazy and mentally ill? Would you ever get stabbed in the back?”
“… … .”
Since I heard the whole story, there was no need to wake up the guy next to me who was not helpful and was just driving me crazy.
If I had just been curled up in the corner, I wouldn’t have turned my chin.
The group seemed surprised to see him suddenly throwing punches, but they soon seemed to feel more at ease, perhaps because there was no ally holding them back.
“… It would be a good idea to call Daeju and all the remaining members from the annex.”
“I will call you.”
One of the captains answered like that and blew the whistle he was wearing around his waist.
Beep!
A long, high, sharp sound rang out from the whistle the captain put in his mouth.
Although the outbuilding was spacious, unlike Yeonhwagak, the building was divided into rooms.
If a battle were to take place, Yeonhwagak could be said to be a more advantageous battlefield as it had more free space than the outbuildings.
“Do not approach the door or window. Right now, I have no idea what the situation is outside.”
Namgungmu gave a request to Namgung Hwaran and me.
“Okay.”
“I understand.”
And for a while, there was silence inside Yeonhwagak.
But the wait wasn’t that long.
Kwasik!
“… … !”
Perhaps in a rush after hearing the whistle, someone broke the ceiling and jumped inside Yeonhwagak.
The gunman landed on the floor in a cat-like position and rushed towards the back of the member of the Cheonpung Sword Team.
It was the same member who followed us while guarding Namgung Hwaran and I’s visit.
The crew that reacted late took a breath because of the dust that fell as the ceiling collapsed. Because the gunman’s hand had already reached a close distance, aiming for his neck.
“Intake… !”
Suddenly
However, from the moment the gunman broke the ceiling and fell, I was using high-speed thinking and effortlessly cut off the gunman’s hand aiming for the crew member’s neck.
“Kaaaa!!”
The attack failed, and the gunman with his hand cut off let out an almost animal-like howl and leapt back.
A black haze-like energy lingered for a moment in the hand of the gunman, which fell to the ground after being cut off, and then dissipated.
It was clear that it was the demon of Suramun who had been chasing Gwa Cheol-ho.
“… Thank you.”
“Be careful.”
I sent the Namgung Hwari behind me to make it easier to protect it.
Namgungmu and the other leaders slowly surrounded Main, who had one of his hands cut off.
Mine, who was holding his severed right wrist to stop the bleeding, bared his fangs and growled.
“Ugh… You are already dead… ”
“Worry about your own neck. Ugly mine.”
Jump up!
With Namgungmu’s words, the back door of Yeonhwagak opened, and members of the Cheonpung Sword Squad, including Namgungpae, came rushing in.
And along with that, a subtle cracking sound was heard again from the ceiling.
Quick…
Mine, who was stopping the bleeding in his wrist, suddenly burst into laughter.
“Khehe… ”
“What makes you smile?”
“He came… ”
I noticed something strange through the dust falling from above and shouted.
“Everyone watch out for the ceiling!”
“… … !”
Kwaang!
The ceiling collapsed with a loud roar that was incomparable to when the demon first fell from above.
I immediately covered the Nangunghwaran with my body and used my supernatural ability to dispose of the falling fragments.
Grumbling!
The sky, which was dark at night, burned red like day.
The moment when I was about to clean up all the debris falling on my group and take a breather.
Phew~
“Khahahaha! I found it!”
“… … !”
