Episode 532: Never let your guard down

Mokseol was faced with a painful choice. She did not want to put people in danger because of the burrowing spider. How could she watch people die?

“Have you forgotten, Commander? We were all elite soldiers of the great families. What was our purpose when we first organized the Mokseol Mercenary Corps?

We were all tired of the power struggles and vicious slander between families.

We organized the Mokseol Mercenary Corps to live with a clear distinction between grace and resentment. We chose our own fate. Even if we had to live and die like this for just one day, we would have no regrets.

Isn’t it enough that we have been free from all bondage these past few years? Since when have we been afraid of death?”

One of the mercenaries spoke with reddened eyes.

“That’s right, Colonel. Our Mokseol Mercenary Corps owes a debt to the Muk family. We must repay that debt in order to be free.

There is no one who has chosen the path of practice without thinking about death. If they die, it is their fate. Even if they die, they must repay this favor so that they will have no regrets.”

Yongjin couldn’t help but feel inwardly amazed at the people talking excitedly. In this world that was a hotbed of corruption, there were still some who had not been tainted.

“Okay, let’s kill that beast today.”

Mokseol gritted his teeth, turned his head, and spoke to Yongjin.

“Yongjin, you should leave first. Your cultivation level is too low, and even if you stay here, there’s nothing you can do.”

Yongjin shook his head and said.

“You speak as if you were going to die for justice. You were just killing the devil. Why do you keep speaking as if you were going to die?”

“Yongjin……”

Yongjin interrupted Mokseol and continued speaking.

“I don’t know how I came across hot-blooded young men like you, but if you can trust me, would you follow my orders when you take down the Demon King? I can’t guarantee that you’ll all live, but at least I can give you a chance to save more lives.”

Mokseol hesitated for a moment and then looked at Yongjin and said.

“Okay. Then I’ll ask Yong-hyung. Everyone, pay attention! From now on, everyone, follow Yong-hyung’s orders!”

“yes!”

Yongjin was satisfied. Mokseol had absolute authority within the mercenary group, so he made everyone listen to Yongjin with just one word.

It was like entrusting everyone’s lives to Yongjin at once. They trusted Mokseol, and Mokseol trusted Yongjin, whom he had only seen for a day.

Yongjin was a little touched by this advantage. Mokseol was the same type of person as him. Now it was Yongjin’s turn to repay him.

“Everyone, withdraw!”

While everyone was waiting for instructions, Yongjin’s first order was to withdraw. At those words, people looked at Yongjin with blank faces. He wasn’t joking, what was he talking about?

“Yongjin, this is…….”

Mokseol looked at Yongjin with a blank expression.

“Haha, I guess my orders are useless.”

Yongjin shook his head and said.

“No, it’s just that we don’t understand it well.”

Mokseol said hurriedly.

“Yes, I will explain. This will be the first and last time I explain it to you, so listen carefully. The next time I give you an order, whatever it is, you must follow it. It is a matter of life and death for you.”

Yongjin said with a serious expression.

“This is Mindungsan. This terrain is not suitable for fighting, and if the burrowing spider goes underground, we won’t even be able to find its traces.

If we can lure the spiders into the meadow, our chances of winning will improve because their field of vision will be expanded. Do you understand?”

Yongjin said with a serious expression.

As Yongjin finished speaking, people became convinced in their hearts. Yongjin was definitely the real deal.

“I’ll ask you another question. When you usually kill demons, how many groups do you divide the people into?”

Yongjin asked.

“Divide into four groups. Line up so that Yongjin can see you.”

When Mokseol finished speaking, the people divided into four groups of six each.

Yongjin spoke to them after remembering the order of the troops and their fighting power.

“Everyone, retreat a hundred li away and prepare for battle on the grassland!”

“yes!”

They remembered what Yongjin had said, and this time they followed the order without hesitation and withdrew. Only Yongjin and Mokseol were left at the scene.

“Yongjin, I’ll lure the spiders, so you go with the people.”

Mokseol said. She was worried that Yongjin might be in danger. He was still in the stage of concentrating his pulse and was not a strong meridian.

“You don’t need to be so nervous. It’s just a demonic creature from the Innate Realm, so don’t worry. And I’m an expert at running away, so don’t worry.”

Yongjin said with a smile.

He could originally kill this lurking spider easily, but now the context was not perfect, so he could not move his spirit energy recklessly.

“Now let’s try to lure the devil.”

Yongjin found a fist-sized rock on the ground and suddenly threw it at the spider.

“You idiot! The sun is high in the sky and you’re still sleeping!”

Mok-seol almost burst out laughing at Yong-jin’s curse, but then laughed again when the stone flew out of Yong-jin’s hand.

The stone flew across the space with a terrifying current like a meteor.

bang!

With a loud bang, the stone hit the spider’s stomach. The spider, who was sleeping on the ground, was pushed back a dozen paces by the force.

“It’s a truly terrifying power.”

A look of surprise appeared in Mokseol’s eyes. He never dreamed that Yongjin, who looked like a scholar, would have such terrifying power.

Woof.

Suddenly, a terrifying sense of oppression rose up and the space shook. The burrowing spider stretched out its eight legs and lifted its large head, then revealed two black teeth with a threatening expression.

“Kyaaaaak!”

The burrowing spider suddenly screamed and started rushing towards Yongjin.

“Run quickly!”

Yongjin started to run away, and Mokseol, who had already been preparing, ran away like lightning. The giant lurking spider chased the two people like crazy.

The burrowing spider was surprisingly fast, even though it was supported on eight legs on the ground.

Yongjin had already run past Mokseol. She was ashamed of herself for worrying about Yongjin.

Looking at the fast-approaching spider, it seemed like she would be caught before she could even reach the meadow. If that happened, Yongjin’s plan could have been ruined because of her.

But no matter how fast I increased my speed, the burrowing spider was getting closer and closer. It was just as I was preparing to attack as a last resort.

Suddenly, Yongjin stopped walking and grabbed her hand. Mokseol opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“You go first. You don’t have to do this…….”

Before she could finish her words, Yongjin began to drag her along, picking up speed. He was so fast that she barely had time to touch the ground, like a kite flying.

Only after increasing the distance from the burrowing spider did Yongjin slow down. Only then was Mokseol able to step on the ground and run.

Mokseol was so surprised that he couldn’t say a word. The speed that Yongjin had just shown was so frighteningly fast that it felt like he was flying.

With Yongjin’s help, the two people were running at a distance of about a thousand feet from the burrowing spider, and soon a flat meadow appeared in front of them.

At the end of his gaze, the heads of the mercenaries who had already prepared for battle began to appear. Yongjin suddenly wrapped one hand tightly around Mokseol’s waist. Mokseol, startled, almost screamed.

“Gather your strength now. When you arrive at the designated location, I will throw you into the air. Then, use the strongest means at your disposal to strike that lurking spider with all your might. Your strike will determine who stops it. So never let your guard down.”

Yongjin spoke in a low voice as he ran.

Mok-seol, who had been feeling awkward because of Yong-jin’s arms around her waist, was surprised by Yong-jin’s words and started gathering strength like crazy.

“preparation!”

Yongjin shouted in a low voice.

“start!”

As Yongjin raised his arm, Mokseol flew into the air.

Ting!

As Yongjin took out his longsword from its scabbard, the sword net pierced the sky and the terrifying sword energy mercilessly cut down the lurking spider.

bang!

The burrowing spider, which was running with an explosive sound, was hit hard by the black energy of the wooden sword so that it was dug into the ground.

“good.”

The dashing lurker was stopped by the sword of the wooden sword.

Yongjin was able to discover that Mokseol’s sword already contained some innate power. If not, it would not have been able to achieve such good results.

“Iljo attacks the left, Ijo attacks the right! Samjo and Sajo attack the ships when they have a chance, and the regimental commander takes charge of the front!”

Yongjin shouted loudly.

Mokseol was much stronger than Yongjin thought. If this were to happen, the situation would tilt towards Mokseol’s mercenary group.

Many people took out their weapons one after another and attacked the lurking spider, following Yongjin’s orders. The lurking spider was so big that they had to use strong electricity from a distance.

But no matter how many times I cut the spider’s legs, only sparks flew and it was frustrating because I couldn’t harm it at all.

“Cutting off the legs won’t help. People on both sides should not attack, but spread out to distract the spider’s attention and give others a chance to attack. Everyone, move with safety as your top priority!”

Yongjin shouted.

bang!

The lurking spider focused its gaze on Mokseol. Even though the cold-blooded demon had low intelligence, it could sense that Mokseol was the strongest among them, so it was trying to focus its attacks on Mokseol.

The spider began to attack Mokseol with its sharp fangs and large legs. Mokseol swung his long sword and fired sword energy, but it was not enough to deal with the Seoncheonkyung demon beast, and he kept getting pushed back.

“What are those people standing behind the burrowing spider’s butt doing? Are they waiting for someone to wipe their butt? Can’t you all see that there’s a hole in there?”

Yongjin shouted loudly as he watched the people madly attacking his legs from behind the lurking spider.

The men looked up at the ambush spider. Sure enough, there was a closed hole under the spider’s belly.

One of the mercenaries took out his spear and swung it with all his might towards the hole.

Sigh.

There was no reaction when poking at other places, but surprisingly, the spider started to howl because the hole was weak.

“Kyaaaaak!”

The burrowing spider raised its body high in pain and made an unpleasant sound.

“Commander, be strong and don’t give that guy a chance to turn his head. Otherwise, the others will die!”

Yongjin shouted.

Mokseol, who had been chased by the lurking spider, finally caught his breath and raised his sword at Yongjin’s shout. The shadow of the sword covered the sky and fell mercilessly on the spider.
