Episode 193. I won’t be eaten (1)

Cheon Myeong-myeong silently looked at Yeong So-gak, who was slowly walking towards him.

It was definitely the author’s doing to make Cheon Yu-su like that and to send assassins to kill him.

I didn’t think he would come forward himself since I couldn’t see him.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that many people wearing black were following behind the cremation altar.

‘…What a disaster.’

I never thought there would be more enemies.

At this point, there was a considerable sense of crisis due to the appearance of Yeongso-gak, but the skills of the assassins who appeared with him also seemed formidable.

It feels like they’re on a different level from the guys I’ve faced before.

Although their numbers were much smaller, they seemed to be made up of an elite group of assassins.

Swish-.

It was impossible to escape from here.

As Cheon Myeong-myeong quickly adjusted his shirt, the spirits and the killers stopped walking.

“You’re still alive.”

“…….”

“I guess it was my fault for having high expectations from that kind of idiot.”

As he said that, Yeongso-gak’s gaze was directed towards Cheon Yu-su who had fallen to the floor.

Not only did he use the water, but he also looked down on me like that, as if it was nothing.

In the end, Cheon Myeong-myeong could no longer hold back and opened his mouth with sharp words.

“Are you qualified to say such things?”

“…….”

“You’ve come out here and are loitering around like this. Why, did you think you wouldn’t be able to beat me if you fought me while you were still healthy?”

“What a trivial provocation.”

Despite Cheon Myeong-myeong’s words, Yeong So-gak’s expression did not change at all.

Rather, a faint smile appeared on his lips as if he found it amusing.

“Even when a tiger hunts a rabbit, it uses all its might.”

“…….”

“There is a surefire way to hunt them, so it would be foolish to refuse it.”

As he said this, Yeongso-gak looked over Cheon Myeong-myeong’s entire body.

As if trying to check the condition of the prey.

Although the wound was covered by his clothes again, Yeongso-gak smiled meaningfully as he looked at Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was covered in blood.

“It looks like it’s been properly groomed.”

“…….”

“If I just work on it a little more, I’ll definitely be able to catch it. If it gets to this point, I think we can say that Cheon Yu-su’s use has already run out.”

I couldn’t really refute that statement.

From the fight with the killers and the fight with the Hwe-myeong, Cheon Myeong-myeong was already quite exhausted.

Moreover, isn’t there already poison in your waist?

Although the bleeding has now stopped thanks to acupuncture, if I continue to move around too much, the wound could get worse to the point where it can’t be helped even with acupuncture.

“Do you think you can eat me?”

“……?”

“It’s not me who gets eaten, it’s you.”

But Cheon Myeong-myeong had no intention of becoming food obediently.

Even if I get eaten, I’ll take as many of them as I can with me.

Cheon Myeong-myeong picked up the sword and sword that had fallen on the floor as if to tell them to come and see if they wanted to come.

‘That guy, his eyes… … .’

Seeing that sight, Yeongso-gak was inwardly startled.

Anyone who saw that blood-covered figure would be quite exhausted.

But the look coming from those eyes was never that of someone being eaten.

Rather, the gaze was so intense that it made one feel like they were the one being eaten, while the other one was the one being eaten.

“…….”

The Young Incinerator has hunted countless prey so far.

Among them, there were those who tried to rebel until the end, putting on airs, but they could not completely hide the emotion of fear from their eyes.

‘You’re serious.’

The fear was no longer visible in Cheon Myeong-myeong’s eyes.

It means only one thing.

In this situation, Cheon Myeong-Myeong was really trying to eat himself. When Yeong-Sogak realized this, he stopped laughing.

“Don’t let your guard down. He’s still hiding his teeth.”

Yeongso-gak spoke in a low voice to the people around him.

The assassins looked at each other with silent glances, and at that moment, a fierce flame flew right in front of Yeongso-gak’s eyes.

“……!”

The one who attacked first was Cheon Myeong-myeong.

In order to minimize the impact on the wound, movements had to be as small as possible.

The blow just now was an act of completely ignoring it.

Of course, a powerful attack would be a burden on the wounds, but Cheon Myeong-myeong launched a fierce attack with the intention of annihilating the enemies in one go.

“Ugh…….”

I had prepared myself for this in advance, but the reaction came immediately.

I could faintly feel a stream of water flowing out from the crack in the rock that had just been blocked by that blow at the wounded area.

It’s still at a decent level, but who knows when it will collapse.

At that moment, So Wol-hyeon’s voice was heard nearby.

“If it explodes this time, it can no longer be treated with acupuncture.”

“…….”

“Just stay calm… I would like to say that as a member of parliament, but I don’t think the situation would allow for that.”

“…Thank you. The help I’ve already received is more than enough.”

If it weren’t for So Wol-hyeon’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to fight like this.

After a moment of silence, So Wol-hyeon opened her mouth in a low voice.

“I wish you good luck.”

All So Wol-Hyeon could do with her non-existent body was to say those words.

As if he didn’t want to interfere with Cheon Myeong Myeong’s fight, So Wol Hyeon immediately disappeared.

Pot-.

At that moment, several people jumped upward, gushing water from under the surface.

‘You survived quite well.’

Is it to hide under the water before the attack reaches, thus minimizing damage?

As expected, they seemed to be much more skilled assassins than the ones I had faced before.

Since it seemed that his wounds could not withstand any more reckless attacks, Cheon Myeong-myeong eventually kicked the ground and jumped towards the assassins.

Whoosh-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong swung his sword at the assassins who had risen to the ground.

One of them received the Dao of a Thousand Man Names, but was pierced through the heart by successive sword strikes.

After dealing with one person in an instant, Cheon Myeong-Myeong immediately prepared for the enemy’s offensive.

“……?”

But contrary to expectations, the enemies did not attack.

The moment when you are most vulnerable is when you are about to attack someone… … But the enemies are not taking advantage of that gap, but rather are creating distance on their own.

Enemies who keep a certain distance from each other as if they had made a promise.

The killers had already formed a large circle around Cheon Myeong-myeong.

‘This is… … .’

At first glance, it didn’t look like he was distancing himself out of fear.

A formation in which a large number of people move in unison according to predetermined rules… … This was a formation.

‘… That’s tricky.’

Dealing with the majority was a disadvantageous situation for Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Of course, Cheon Myeong-myeong could be said to have had quite a bit of experience dealing with multiple people on his own up to now.

Every time that happens, Cheon Myeong-myeong chooses two strategies.

The solution was to either sweep them all away at once, or take them out one by one while taking advantage of openings.

“…….”

If my physical condition had been okay, I would have chosen to sweep it all away at once.

However, any further reckless attacks would be a shortcut to self-destruction.

Since it was a means that had to be postponed until the very end, naturally there was only one method left.

The idea was to take them out one by one while taking advantage of their weaknesses… … The problem was that the enemies were currently deploying their formation.

‘The formation is like fighting one giant man.’

A large number of people fight in unison, with consistent movements.

Because of this characteristic, if the formation is formed properly, the opponent cannot help but feel as if they are fighting a single powerful enemy.

Of course, it would take considerable training to reach that level, but aren’t these the elite of the Shadow Masters?

Just by looking at the way they were distancing themselves, I could instinctively feel that they had a lot of chemistry with each other.

Swish-.

At that moment, the water droplets surrounding the area began to move.

Footsteps falling simultaneously without anyone giving a signal.

The speed at which they moved around and the interval between them were almost identical.

‘It’s like looking in a mirror.’

It felt even more so because the killers were wearing the same clothes.

It feels like the shadows reflected in the mirror are circling around you.

No matter which way I looked, everything I saw was the same.

‘Then I will break that mirror.’

The method of destroying a formation is to destroy part of it.

The more solid the formation, the more likely it is that a hole will appear and it will collapse in an instant.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked around and then rushed toward one person.

Whoosh-.

As soon as he dug in, Cheon Myeong-myeong thrust his sword.

It seemed as if he had no intention of fighting from the beginning, and the enemy that became Cheon Myeong-myeong’s target immediately retreated, putting some distance between them.

Cheon Myeong-myeong tried to follow right away with the intention of killing just one person, but at that moment, he saw dark spirits flying towards him from all directions and had no choice but to focus on defense.

“…….”

After blocking the dark magicians, Cheon Myeong-myeong looked around again.

The enemy he was originally trying to chase had already moved far away, and he had become one of the shadows again, blending in naturally with them.

‘If I chase them, they will get further away, and the rest will attack me at the same time?’

It really felt like I was being hunted.

Is this what it feels like to die by drying one’s blood?

I think the enemy is using such a strategy now because he knows that he is weakened now.

Pot-.

Once again, Cheon Myeong-myeong rushed at the enemy.

The goal was to escape the encirclement surrounding them rather than attack the enemy.

However, the enemies kept their distance from Cheon Myeong-myeong just like before, and upon seeing them, Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately changed direction and kicked the ground.

‘A thunderbolt, a thunderbolt.’

Cheon Myeong-myeong’s body rose high in an instant.

And then the next one. The new form of the Thousand-Myeong-Myeong quickly kicked the air and advanced towards the water island.

“…….”

I thought that if it was empty space, I would be able to pierce through the enemy formation.

But as soon as they landed on the ground, the same sight as before unfolded around them.

When I came to my senses, I was standing in the center of the circle again.

Could it be that even the Bicheon Gwangryeobo couldn’t escape this formation? … Cheon Myeong-myeong felt as if he was having a nightmare.

“It’s no use.”

“…….”

“Evil spirits are locked in a circle. If you are trapped in that formation, even if you are an evil spirit, you won’t be able to escape by even a shadow.”

Evil Spirits’ Encirclement. That was the name of the formation that was currently imprisoning Cheon Myeong-myeong.

As if he had great pride in his tactics, Yeongso-gak was speaking with a meaningful expression on his face on the other side.

“…….”

It was a truly grand name.

A formation that even evil spirits can’t escape from. If it were normal, Cheon Myeong-myeong would have laughed at those words, but he couldn’t laugh.

The net of the evil spirits seemed so tight, and the fact that even the trusted Bicheon Gwangryeobo could not escape was quite a shock.

‘… Is that the only way it can be done?’

Hot air hell. That would be enough to annihilate all the surrounding enemies at once.

Even if that weren’t the case, the formation itself could probably be broken down.

However, Cheon Myeong-myeong was unable to take action rashly because he was doubtful whether his body would be able to withstand the onslaught of the hot air.

Even now, the assassins were moving in a circle with the same movements, and outside the formation, Yeongso-gak was smiling bitterly.

Thud- thud-.

That was when.

When he was at a crossroads and was struggling to make a choice, Cheon Myeong-myeong noticed someone walking towards him from outside the formation.

“……?”

Given the circumstances, that person seemed like an enemy, but Cheon Myeong-myeong’s eyes strangely kept gracing him.

One reason was that he was wearing a luxurious robe instead of black clothing, unlike the assassins he had faced so far, but the biggest reason was his face.

‘…raccoon?’

A mask that doesn’t fit the battlefield where fierce fighting is taking place.

At Gu-Hwan’s appearance, Cheon Myeong-Myeong stared at him blankly without realizing it.
