*** ***

The relief corps was made up of members drawn from each clan, but the group that could be said to be the largest group among them was the Moyongsae. Quite a few people, including Mo Yong-mo and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, who had come and gone and encountered each other at least once, also participated.

Naturally, Mo Yong-seo also took command.

Fortunately, I was able to travel the long distance safely and contact the survivors of Botamun.

A rescue team joined the survivors of Bothamun to reveal the current situation and establish a detailed operation.

And today, we finally set out to recapture Botamun.

“Please be considerate.”

“Ha, I have to run up the mountain…”

Dang Do-yeon with a serious expression and Dang So-yeol with a desperate expression.

Although helpful equipment was placed on the Bicheon carriage, it was still impossible to drag the carriage inside Botamun, so Dang Do-yeon and Dang So-yeol decided to help form a siege network.

As I was watching the two people leave for their respective positions, Mo Yong-seo approached them.

“Is your body in perfect condition?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“I tell you this, even if you get caught up in a battle during the entry process, keep all your strength just to deal with the saber-toothed tiger. Even if the soldiers who entered are in desperate danger right in front of you. Do you understand?”

“…Yes.”

“Yes. The guards will provide thorough protection for you and your group.”

As I was nodding my head, I felt Botamun becoming noisy. Since so many people were laying siege to Mt. Botha, it seemed like Hyeokyo had discovered someone among those warriors.

“Advance!”

Mo Yongmo was not embarrassed and gave the order to advance. At the same time, the entry team fighters all drew their weapons and launched a light attack toward Botamun.

“Please go. I will escort you.”

At the words of an unknown shaman, my companions and I also began climbing the mountain, escorted by a bodyguard.

By the time the half-destroyed gate of Botamun began to come into view, a fierce fight was already taking place at the front.

Faba Park!!

“Chaaaa!”

“Kaaaa!!”

The entry team that cuts down the blood people and the Murim warriors who fall down in the blood shooting out from the hands of the blood people. And there are also those who exchange moves by clashing sharp weapons and blood vessels.

Fighters from both sides were tangled together, but the number of fallen was greater on the Murim Alliance side.

The cause was, of course, the blood being sprinkled.

Easy!!

Plop!

“Ugh!”

Compared to the blood men who could attack from a distance while scattering drops of blood, the martial arts warriors had to swing their weapons honestly, so the composition was not good.

It was a moment when it seemed like the Murim Alliance’s assault group would be blocked by the blood religion’s defense line.

A familiar new model flew high into the sky.

It was the Great Lord Pungyeong.

Ssss!!!

Master Feng Ying’s hands were busy, pouring out countless memorizations, and the sound of the waves made by the countless memorizations echoed around the area like the sound of a shower.

I could feel the will of Prince Pung Yeong, who was determined to pour in his memorization to break through the defense line spread out at the front gate.

“Keuuk!”

“Evil!!”

A group of blood cults who fall down as quickly as they pour out their memorization.

“Ohhh!!”

“It is indeed Tangga’s cancer technique!”

The entry team, which had been blocked by Blood Bullet’s offensive, rushed in, boosted by the performance of Pungyoung Daeju.

“Retreat! Spread out!”

“Enter! Enter! Never miss the group of blood religion!”

The voices of Mo Yong-mo and the leader of the Blood Cult rang together. It was advantageous for the Blood Cult to use the terrain inside Botamun, which was already in a defensive posture, or to team up with the saber-toothed tiger, and from the Murim Alliance’s perspective, the opponent’s power had to be reduced even a little before the Blood Cult could take such a stance.

The entry team poured in, and my group and I also entered the interior of Botamun, escorted by the first group.

Unlike the exterior, which was relatively intact, the interior showed obvious signs of damage.

The pavilion was damaged in various places by giant claws, and the Buddha statues and stone lanterns, which should have created a tranquil atmosphere, were broken and damaged and rolling on the floor.

I whetted my appetite while looking at the inside of Botamun.

These guys made it like this on purpose.

Buddha statues, stone lanterns, roof tiles, dug paths, etc. I can’t say it was big, but it was truly full of obstacles.

It may seem like nothing, but when many people form a formation, they will stumble upon such an obstacle.

What does it mean that preparations have been made to block the encampment on the grounds?

“Gajin.”

It meant that it was assumed that the opponent would be advancing in the precincts, which meant that a saber-toothed tiger was ambushed somewhere in the palace hall of Botamun.

Since you never know when you might be surprised, it would be a good idea to lay out your strategy first.

Ssss!!

He gave instructions to the guards who were surprised by the sudden progress.

“There may be an ambush in the palace. Be careful.”

“I understand. Spread out and search the palace!”

It was time to spread out the guard formation widely and at the same time, the men of the guard dispersed to inspect the battle.

Wow!!

Blood condolences poured out from one palace. Unlike the bullets seen at the front gate, the bullets fired were wrapped in strong energy.

“Huh!”

The guards tried their best to catch the countless river waves, but the distance between them was too far to block all the flying waves.

As I watched the blood birds flying, I could feel the will of my companions.

The same thought as mine arose in the minds of the group of people who opened the Oseong Jin.

To avoid this bloodshed, the attack comes the moment the formation is disturbed.

My companions and I deliberately disrupted the formation and avoided the blood ancestors.

Due to the nature of Ohseongjin, where each member can use energy at will, it was not unusual for all members to generate strong energy that could block the blood tide, which could be called half-strong energy.

It was all in order to induce an attack from the saber-toothed tiger.

Big!!

Kwazijik!!

The pavilion on the opposite side from which Hyeoljo flew was shattered. To be exact, the hidden saber-toothed tiger was attacking us, destroying the entire pavilion.

Its enormous size and force made me wonder how on earth it could have been hidden in the palace.

…Is this the majesty of a spiritual object chosen from the blood religion?

I had always thought that no matter how low the fighting power of the Seogong was, it would be too conceited to carelessly give up a tamed spirit creature, but the majesty of the saber-toothed tiger falling towards me right now was so great that it blew away that thought.

A strength that is on a different level from the spirit creatures I have dealt with while practicing Ohseongjin.

If you collide head-on with a saber-toothed tiger that is gaining momentum, it will be difficult to see any good results.

The group dispersed in an instant.

Quaaa!!

The guy’s front paw hit the ground. The impact was so strong that the stones on the floor flew in all directions like cannonballs.

And even the blood ancestors who dig in between them.

He frantically swung his great sword and removed the debris and blood stains.

If this was a decent lineup, the flow of the lineup would have been broken a long time ago in the current situation.

While he was busy fending off attacks coming from all directions, Oh Seong-jin’s energy became unstable and he was barely able to control it.

And at the same time, the face of a saber-toothed tiger suddenly appeared.

Two long protruding teeth are struck down like a dagger held in reverse.

“Huh!”

“Inhale!!”

Black Cat and Yeo Il-ye each blocked their teeth one by one. While Black Cat’s twin general and Yeo Il-ye’s dual swords were catching the saber-toothed tiger, Dokgo Iseol moved.

The target is the front foot.

Shhh!

I thought I struck at the right time to aim for a power struggle, but Dokgo Iseol’s sword split the air.

This was because the saber-toothed tiger’s movements were faster than expected by Dokgo Lee Seol.

This won’t be easy.

The saber-toothed tiger was faster and stronger than any other spirit creature I had ever encountered.

I reorganized my formation again while evaluating the saber-toothed tiger’s strength upward.

The saber-toothed tiger also seemed to have decided that it would only suffer losses if it attacked carelessly, so it started wandering around the formation looking for any openings.

A lull that lasts for a while.

“Leave the saber-toothed tiger to Daehyeop, the swordsman, and the guards deal with the blood cult group over there!”

The guards, led by a shaman disciple, enter the palace where the blood ancestors came. I guess we can leave that to them.

So let’s focus solely on the saber-toothed tiger.

“Let’s go.”

They all attack the saber-toothed tiger at once.

Just as the blood cult group prepared defense equipment, we also listened to the testimony of the survivors of Botamun and devised a way to deal with the saber-toothed tiger based on their testimony.

What advantages can we have when we are together with a saber-toothed tiger?

It was the number of attacks.

Although the saber-toothed tiger is said to be a great spiritual creature, its shape is that of a beast.

So in the end, there is bound to be a limit to the attacks that a saber-toothed tiger can unleash at once.

But five of us can attack at the same time.

This was not a characteristic of Oh Seong-jin, but rather a tactic that was possible because Yeo Il-ye was a member of the Jinbeop.

Thanks to Yeo Il-ye, Oh Seong-jin’s power was amplified even though the number of people was small compared to the total amount of power and the energy was divided among them.

Tsuzzz!!

A saber-toothed tiger swinging its front paws while keeping a pair of black cats in check. Yeo Il-ye, seeing this, aims for the opposite front foot.

A tail that tries to hit Yeo Il-ye. Taking advantage of Yeo Il-ye’s departure, Dokgo Iseol attempted to dig into the lower part of the neck, but was blocked by the saber-toothed tiger’s abnormal fangs.

The saber-toothed tiger that stopped Dokgo Iseol had no choice but to quickly raise its head.

Grumbling!!

Because I was swinging my sword aiming at the bridge of his nose.

Wow!!

My sword bounced off after colliding with the guy’s thick teeth. The guy glared at me with ferocious eyes, but it wasn’t the time for the saber-toothed tiger to be looking at me.

Wow!!

Because Hyukgirin squeezed through the gap and left a stab wound on his front paw.

Wow!!

The guy was so angry at the pain of his wounds that he ran wild in all directions. I, who had jumped into the air at the sight, was caught by his body and flew through the air.

It couldn’t be said that there was no shock, but it wasn’t difficult to flip over in the air and land stably.

No matter how big and powerful the guy was, I wasn’t so bad that I would have to struggle like that.

After reorganizing the camp, they collide with the saber-toothed tiger once again.

The claws, tail, and debris flying from its movements become entangled.

Although he sometimes took on the Bingseong form to block its attacks, he mostly dealt with the saber-toothed tiger in his basic form.

Kyaaa!!

The saber-toothed tiger’s attack split the air without causing any damage to anyone.

The white giraffe boldly burrowed forward, and Dokgo Iseol tilted his upper body and dodged the saber-toothed tiger’s claws by a few inches, and the black cat crushed the animal’s paws at a serious angle as its front paws scratched the floor and lost strength.

Fangs appeared in front of Hyukkirin as he dug in, but Hyukkirin’s advance was not blocked.

What is the range of this guy’s attack? And what movements should be made to avoid the attack.

The guy looked embarrassed and pulled his body back.

This may have prevented Hyeok Kirin from digging under the body, but there was no way to avoid the attacks coming from left and right from Na and Dokgo Iseol.

Two scars engraved on the saber-toothed tiger’s body.

Unlike Dokgo Iseol, who was relatively agile, the tail shot towards me a little slower, but since it was already expected, I calmly swung my sword.

Wow!!

Swing the sword diagonally and adjust the counter-elasticity in the desired direction to pull the body out.

Crrr!

A look of embarrassment was evident in the saber-toothed tiger’s eyes as he watched me escape easily.

That’s right.

It may have been a saber-toothed tiger that has lived for quite a long time and has faced many opponents, but it would have never faced an opponent that can identify itself as quickly as the five marches we are currently unfolding.

Each time the five masters encounter the saber-toothed tiger in their own way, the saber-toothed tiger’s information and response methods are shared.

This meant that I could learn how to deal with a saber-toothed tiger several times faster than when dealing with a saber-toothed tiger alone.

The result was the current situation.

At most, it takes only a few tens of seconds to understand all of the saber-toothed tiger’s actions and make optimal movements for attack and defense.

Wow!!

He tried to move more violently and quickly, but even those movements were recognized in an instant.

Because the countermeasures have already been found.

Black Cat blocks a dangerous attack and Yeo Il-ye blocks the subsequent combo. If the attack seems excessive, Hyeok Kirin stabs in, and Dokgo Iseol adds an additional hit or twists the flow to create an opening.

I step in between the group and attempt a dangerous attack or nullify the variables the guy is trying to set.

Now that the larger picture of the saber-toothed tiger is understood, small variables are responded to and optimized movements are implemented again.

The more the number was repeated, the more blood began to flow through the saber-toothed tiger’s body.

It tried to twist its whole body and run wild, but it couldn’t have any fun against the companions who were already completely accustomed to the saber-toothed tiger’s movements.

no.

It could be said that he was now in a position where he could neither attack nor defend to his heart’s content. No matter what attack it made, it continued to pick at the gaps, carving stab wounds into the saber-toothed tiger’s body, and even when it was in a defensive posture, it was able to break through the attack.

However, the situation did not improve any further.

Crrr!

This was because the stab wounds gradually began to disappear from the body of the guy who was defending himself.

Even if you are trying to save your body, it is the same as making violent movements. No matter how spiritual a creature it is, the fact that its wounds heal while making such movements should be seen as the power of a saber-toothed tiger.

In the meantime, an unusual sound is heard.

“The Second Coming of Blood Religion, All the World!”

“The Second Coming of Blood Religion, All the World!”

And soon, I felt the presence of blood people coming this way.

this. It’s going to be a long game.
