I, too, was quite surprised, although not as surprised as Baek Geon.
“What is that… ?”
A banquet held by the enemy in a messy manner. This could be anything.
How formal would it be for a group of uneducated enemies to call a banquet? Just set up a table and have a drink.
The problem was that while the banquet was taking place, something bloody and terrible was happening in the vacant lot right next to it.
Because of the torches waving in the wind, the shadows in the clearing moved around as if they were dancing.
And in line with that, the devastation in the vacant lot was also revealed briefly.
“Ugh!”
At first, I thought they were raping a bound woman like they always do when they dragged the bound woman out to an empty lot and took off her top.
But that wasn’t it.
Phew!
The criminal, who saw the woman moving, plunged a dagger with a black blade into her chest.
What was even more shocking was the next scene.
Sujeok did not simply plunge a knife into the woman’s chest to end her life.
He slashed down the dagger stuck in the woman’s chest. Then, with a lot of force, I stuck my bent finger into the gap.
Pow!
The woman, who had barely been able to breathe, lowered her head, and the enemy pulled his arm from her chest.
In that hand, stained bright red with blood, was a red heart that must have been beating vigorously just a moment ago.
Whiik ㅡ
dump…
And through the woman’s body that the pirates had carelessly removed, it became clear that the small hill in the vacant lot that I thought was a pyre was all made up of victims.
The enemy entered the tent, which appeared to be a kitchen, right next to it, carrying the bleeding heart.
From then on, whenever I saw the unusual-looking meat dishes served there, I was automatically disgusted.
“Wow… !”
It was the same for Baek Geon, to the point where he felt slightly nauseous.
“You take out a person’s heart, cook it, and eat it… ? This is not something humans do… !”
Baek Geon, who seemed to have calmed down a little, whispered that.
Even to me, who thought I was used to death by now, it was a scene that automatically made me frown.
Looking closely at the banqueting bandits, I could see a faint black energy running like veins on their faces.
‘Is eating a woman’s heart a way to practice magic? ‘For the enemy to even reach out to the devil, they’ve really gone as far as they can.’
Magic is a martial art that is mainly recognized as practiced by warriors of the Four Schools.
Although it is possible to raise the level of martial arts relatively quickly, the method of learning it is strange and has side effects, so it is a type of martial arts that is surprisingly avoided even by martial artists who risk their lives on the level.
I was wondering if there was something I was missing, so I asked the guide about magic, and this was the answer I got.
[Contrary to perception, there are not many warriors in Sapa who have truly learned magic. This is because if you learn martial arts that require the sacrifice of others, such as cannibalism or murder, you will immediately be treated as a public figure and become a target for extermination by the Murim Alliance. And there are many magic arts that have the side effect of blocking their development once they reach a certain level. That is why most magic arts users belong to the Heavenly Demon Church.]
It was an additional explanation that wasn’t much different from what I knew, except that there weren’t that many magic practitioners in Sapa.
‘The ominous black energy that Tuma used must have been the energy of the magician.’
[The black energy of such a magician is called magic energy.]
At the head of the group of enemies eating food, or rather human flesh, while giving off a faint demonic energy, sat a man who was presumed to be Wang Jin-bung, the owner of the food.
‘It’s not enough to use the power of a Buddhist instrument to teach your subordinates the magic skill of eating a woman’s heart… ‘
Could it be that there happened to be a magic ship on board the boat that the poorly outnumbered bastards ran? Now that I think about it, it seemed like the male merchant I killed earlier was useless for magic training and was thrown into the river.
Thanks to this, Baekgun’s main character switch was properly activated.
I saw the person next to me clenching his fists and shaking.
“Ha… ”
Baek Geon calmed down his trembling body by sighing deeply and looked at me with burning eyes and said.
“Minho… I hope those demons pay the price.”
Now that he is barely playing at the top level, he is not even able to deal with the owner of the loan, Wang Jin-bong, let alone clearing out Sugyochae on his own.
It is true that he had excellent stamina and physical strength for his age, but he was not at a level capable of eliminating a single numerical group.
However, I killed Tuma, a member of Palma, even though I had consumed acid poison.
Even now, he has become a peak expert and his level has risen further.
If you want to wipe out the diplomatic bonds, there is no other way than me.
‘I can’t gather troops separately.’
There was no option to use the three Cheonpung Sword Belts of the Namgung family that followed for protection.
Since they were personnel for the safety of me and, above all, Namgung Hwa-ran, it was ridiculous for them to voluntarily create a dangerous situation, even if it was indirectly related to Namgung-mu’s lover, Hong-ran.
Isn’t that why I sneaked out with Baek Geon alone at night?
It was possible to ask for help by informing the Namgung family of the location of the Sugyochae, but it was obvious that if that happened, the Buddhist instrument would become the property of the family.
‘Okay, well… ‘It won’t make much of a difference whether I just kill Wang Jin-bung or clean up all the beggars below.’
In the end, I said with a chuckle.
“It would be nice to see the enemies burned to death.”
“Minho… !”
Baek Geon shouted that with an moved face.
But is it because the emotions have become too strong? As Baek Geon’s voice rose slightly, a bandit wandering nearby shouted at the wooden fence.
“Who is there?”
“Oh… !”
Baek Geon was startled and covered his mouth with his hand.
Sensing something strange, the enemy slowly walked towards the entrance of the wooden fence.
Fortunately, he didn’t seem to think there would be an intruder, and he uttered a scathing remark at the bandits standing guard at the entrance.
“Who told you to make such a fuss, huh? If Habaek gets caught, he will be immediately thrown into the river… … .”
“Habaek is a piece of shit.”
Crump!
“Huh… !”
I grabbed the neck of the robber who came out of the entrance and twisted it to prevent him from screaming for no reason.
With a sound of deflation, the fallen victim was completely pulled out and thrown on top of the one that had been lying there first.
Crack!
I cut my palm and looked at Baek Geon and said.
“Since we decided to wipe them all out, I think it would be a good idea to attack them now that they are drunk. How about that?”
I didn’t know how long the enemy would drink and fall asleep, so I couldn’t just wait as I had to go back before the sun rose.
Baek Geon nodded his head loudly and agreed with my opinion.
“I’ll take care of them all. If I make a fuss and all the attention of the diplomatic bond enemies is focused on me, you rescue any remaining hostages and find the location of the warehouse.”
“I understand.”
After a short meeting without much of a plan, we cautiously entered the diplomatic building, looking around.
Seueueuu
‘He uses the Shinshin method better than me, so he will run away on his own if the situation arises.’
I winked at Baek Geon, who was disappearing between the tents, and moved to the center where the banquet was taking place.
Then, while moving, I took out the pendant from my inventory and put on the hero suit I use when working as Ignis.
Since you are dealing with a large number of people, you must be careful not to be blindly attacked.
Baek Geon will be busy searching other places and will kill all the enemies here. In the martial arts world, there was no hesitation about wearing a suit with technology from another world.
I didn’t necessarily think I needed to hide the suit, but there was nothing good about it being widely known, and if I hid it, it could be used as a secret weapon for a long time, so I was just being careful.
The suit with red accents on a black background was an outfit that made infiltration much easier than ordinary military uniforms.
As I approached right near where the banquet was taking place, I concentrated all my nerves to capture the moment of surprise attack.
“Hahaha! okay! Eat everything and become stronger! If you follow Habaek, the god of the river, he will give you everything you want! If this continues, soon neither the Murim Alliance nor the imperial family will be able to do anything to us!”
While drinking, I heard Wang Jin-bung, who was excited by himself, shouting like that.
Even to me, who was only the second person to appear on Kangho, it sounded like nonsense without any knowledge of the world.
However, the subordinates responded loudly by shouting at Wang Jinpeng’s words, perhaps because they had been drinking alcohol or because their intelligence had decreased as a side effect of magic.
“Chaeju, no, Habaek is right!”
“Janggang will belong to Habaek from now on!”
“It is an honor to serve the river god!”
“We just follow Habaek’s will!”
Wow!
Then Wang Jin-bong, with a happy expression on his face, raised his glass high.
“Yes! This is all God’s will, so what is there to be afraid of? We will become the rulers of the Yangtze River! Hahahaha!”
After finishing his toast, Wang Jinpeng took a sip of his drink.
The subordinates also followed their leader and poured alcohol into their mouths.
My eyes lit up when I saw that scene.
‘now!’
thud!
He stamped his foot strongly and launched his tense body forward.
At the same time, he exerted his superpower with all his might and spewed out flames that illuminated the darkness.
Along the extended field of view, the astonished eyes of most of the enemies who knew nothing, as well as some of the personnel who noticed the abnormality, quickly became closer.
Since the location I was in was in the direction of the entrance, it was in the opposite direction to the owner, Wang Jin-bong.
‘I’ll have to tidy up on the way to the head.’
As he passed by the enemies, he swung his super weapon, which started spewing out flames.
Heavenly Wind Sword Technique
A firestorm attack
Sighaaa
Numerous blades made of flame swept through the area where the banquet was taking place.
The enemies that had been huddled together collapsed on the floor without knowing what was going on. The guys who seemed to be following me couldn’t react properly and fell down with shocked faces.
After roughly organizing the small items, I rushed towards Wang Jin-bung.
Kwaaang!
In the short time I had to deal with my subordinates, Wang Jin-bung, who drew his sword, blocked my super weapon.
On his sword, a black sword energy made of demonic energy was flickering.
But my interest was directed elsewhere. My eyes sparkled when I saw the cane lying next to Wang Jinpeng.
