Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 116



Only Noblemtl

Episode 116

The walls of Bingbaek Palace were built by fitting stones together like a puzzle.

That is, no adhesive such as cement was used at all.

Normally this structure would not be a problem.

It didn’t matter if a few rocks were missing.

Because other parts that are tightly fitted together will take over and support the load.

But when the gaps between the stones begin to widen, the story changes.

Because they are so tightly knit, even a small crack can cause fatal damage.

The entire structure is shaken.

Of course, it goes without saying that it is very difficult to create that ‘small gap’.

But what if the vines growing from the cracks in the wall start to grow and invade the cracks?

Then, if your body starts to gradually swell.

If the pressure of those hundreds of trees were to start pushing against the walls at the same time.

Ddddddd-

The collapse begins there.

“uh?”

“Uh uh… … ?”

Even though they were drunk on poison and not in their right minds, those who were sensitive felt it.

That the walls were slowly shaking.

“Hey, but doesn’t it feel like the wall is moving… …?”

“What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up and get some water and put out the fire!”

But the more I struggled, the more the situation got worse.

You can’t put out a burning fire.

But the moment you pour water, poisonous gas is generated.

Crucially, the fire rarely goes out.

And the walls slowly began to crumble.

“Huh huh?”

“Wait a minute, the wall here is leaning!”

“What are these vines?!”

The walls began to warp and fall apart.

The cultists, realizing that it was caused by an unidentified vine, began to pull out the vine.

It was a mistake.

The vines have already spread their stems deep into the wall.

The moment you forcefully pull on those vines, the collapse of the wall will only accelerate.

“Don’t pull!”

“Then what should I do? Burn it?!”

“Are you crazy?!”

In this crazy situation, the Ice Palace was on the verge of self-destructing.

Eventually he stepped forward.

The king of this place.

Yeongsu suddenly felt a cold breeze brush his lips.

‘He’s coming.’

Ice White Horse.

At one point, he was approaching a wall that was on the verge of collapsing.

With a mysterious sky-colored iron staff in one hand.

It was the Cheonhwa Seokjang, a weapon that Cheonma had personally bestowed upon him.

“Don’t panic!”

The Ice White Demon swung his staff once.

Kagagak!

The entire crumbling castle wall froze in an instant.

The collapse has stopped.

The magician didn’t stop there.

He also aimed his staff at the fires that were rising here and there in the castle.

Kagakak!

The flower beds that had been burning began to freeze over.

Deprived of oxygen and oppressed by the cold, the fires soon died down quickly.

No matter how much fire and ice were said to be incompatible, if they were suppressed by the size of their power, the compatibility would be of no use.

This was his ice rink.

In that instant, the chaos in the castle began to subside.

‘Tch.’

Yeongsu clicked his tongue inwardly.

Just when I wanted to drag this confusion on a little longer, the king suddenly appeared and sorted out the situation.

but…….

‘There are still cards left.’

In any case, it is expected that the Ice White Horse will participate in the war.

Youngsoo quickly began to move towards the next step in the midst of confusion.

As he quickly crossed the castle, Youngsoo glanced at the buildings.

Even as the outside of the castle burned and temperatures soared, the atmosphere in the buildings was eerie.

It had to be that way.

Because everything that could start a fire was confiscated.

All flammable materials, such as firewood, beeswax candles and kerosene, were confiscated.

And all the sparks that existed there were killed.

The seeds of heat that were thus stolen were gathered into one warehouse.

And the warehouse that Youngsoo was heading to was right there.

The warehouse where all the flammable materials in the castle are gathered.

‘You wouldn’t believe that I know the location of this warehouse.’

The original intention of the Ice Palace was to isolate hazardous materials in a safe place.

But the moment its location is discovered by the enemy, this warehouse turns into a giant bomb.

Damn it.

Finally arrived at the warehouse.

Youngsoo hid behind the wall of another building and looked toward the warehouse.

‘As expected, there are guards.’

Fortunately, there was no one around except the guards.

It was because everyone was busy running around turning off the lights.

Anyway, there are two security guards in total.

Even at a glance, they were giants who appeared to be over 2 meters tall.

Yeongsu took out two poison needles.

—-

[Steel] ‘Chain Projection’ activated.

—-

Phew!

The poisoned needles fired simultaneously were embedded precisely in the bodies of two people.

“Ugh… … !”

“Keuk… … !”

The two guards fell in an instant.

Youngsoo quickly approached the warehouse door.

The door is locked.

So, at that moment, Youngsoo was about to activate his unlocking skill on the lock.

‘hmm?’

Suddenly, I felt a murderous intent behind my back.

Youngsoo quickly dodged.

Kwajik!

Youngsoo narrowly avoided the attack coming from behind.

It was an axe.

One of the guards who had just been stung and fell down was swinging an axe.

‘Oh my god, of all people… … .’

But Youngsoo wasn’t very surprised.

This is because you can often see guys like this when dealing with cultists.

So is this guy invincible?

No, there’s no way a single guard could have reached that level.

This was just a physical abnormality.

For example, the location of organs may be different from other people’s, or the blood flow may be reversed.

So, in general, the poison that works for everyone didn’t work.

“You… … !”

Phew!

The bastard swung his axe fiercely at Youngsu.

Purple veins rippled across the bastard’s skin, and magical energy sprayed from the tip of the axe blade.

but.

Tub-

The moment Youngsoo grabbed his wrist, the axe-chopping stopped so easily.

The guard was confused.

Both arms, which he was swinging with all his might, were caught in one of Youngsoo’s hands and he couldn’t move.

“Wh, what… … !”

“I don’t have time to be caught by someone like you.”

Shukak!

Yeongsu’s poisonous sword cut through the bastard’s neck in one stroke.

beheading.

Even if the poison didn’t work, even if the body was deformed, the attack that cut off the head was fair to everyone.

“ruler.”

Youngsoo turned his gaze towards the warehouse again.

And I used my skill on the lock.

—-

[Skill] ‘Unblocking’ activated.

—-

After unlocking the door, Youngsoo opened the warehouse door.

The dusty smell typical of a warehouse seeped out through the cracks in the door.

Next was the slippery, musty smell of oil.

It was a welcome scent.

‘You came to the right place.’

Dry firewood, beeswax, and oil.

Friends of fire and explosion were piled high in a large warehouse.

Yeah-

Yeongsu took out four wall bombs from his inventory and injected mana into them to activate the detonator.

After that, he threw blast bombs all over the warehouse and quickly escaped from the warehouse.

months-

And with the light technique, he was quickly away from the warehouse.

Time passed in silence.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

The countdown is over.

Kwaaaaang!!

A level of shock that no one here had ever experienced shook the entire Ice Palace.

The loud noise was so loud that it spread throughout Baekno Mountain.

The shaking was felt even in the punitive force’s camp, which was quite far away from the Ice Palace.

“what’s the matter?”

“There was an explosion at the Ice Palace?”

“… … ??”

The punitive forces in Jinji were dumbfounded.

Because the heat and smoke from the explosion were clearly visible from a distance.

“… Did we have something like this in our operation?”

“It doesn’t matter since we didn’t blow up, right… … ?”

“But that explosion isn’t the signal the captain was talking about, is it?”

“No, that won’t happen. Just wait a minute.”

And the Ice Palace was in complete chaos.

“Fire!!”

“Whoaaah… … !”

A significant number of people died in the explosion itself, but that wasn’t the only problem.

The objects inside the warehouse were launched high into the air due to the upward current created by the explosion.

Those flaming lumps fell like meteors all over the Ice Palace.

Sudden explosions, fireballs falling from the sky.

It was only a matter of time before the entire Ice Palace became a sea of ​​fire.

“Water! Bring me water, water!!”

“What the hell… … !”

And there are even those who diligently pour water on the fire without even knowing that it is poisonous.

In an instant, the city was filled with toxic gas and flames.

Of course, Youngsu was able to survive in the castle without being affected much thanks to his asbestos cloak and unicorn horn necklace.

In this way, both the inside and the outside of the castle were covered in flames and heat.

In this pit of fire, even the most powerful ice magic could not exert its power.

The ice began to melt.

The castle walls that had been kept from collapsing by the Ice King began to slowly collapse again.

“no……!”

The Ice White Demon’s cries had no meaning in the fire.

Even if you build a wall of ice and let the snow wind whirl, it only lasts for a moment.

In the end, everything was consumed by fire.

Kwakwakwakwa!!

The wall collapsed.

At the same time, the heat from the fire burning outside the castle also poured into the castle.

There was no hope here anymore.

The strongest ice fortress in the Central Plains was sealed off, its subordinates were poisoned by poisonous gas, and even the last line of defense, the castle walls, collapsed.

It was now.

Youngsoo flicked his left hand, which was wearing a mitten.

Hurrah!

A fireball created from the tip of your finger.

“It’s war time, you guys.”

Youngsu threw a fireball toward the sky.

Pishuuu-

phut!!

The fireball flew high into the sky and exploded like a firecracker.

The members of the punitive force camp who were waiting saw it.

The movement of the fireball is obviously unnatural.

This was a signal.

“That… … !”

“let’s go!”

The agents wrapped towels soaked in water around their noses and mouths.

It was to block smoke and toxic gases from the fire.

And then after putting on the asbestos cloak-

Tadah!

Finally, they began to advance towards the Ice Palace.

The agents who arrived that way saw an unbelievable sight.

“uh……?”

“The walls have all collapsed?”

That wasn’t all.

The whole area was a sea of ​​fire, and most of the cultists were staggering around like they had lost their minds.

Some of the agents muttered.

“You did all this… by yourself?”

“What on earth have you done… … ?”

“What are you hesitating for? Hit me!!”

The troops began to slaughter the demon cultists of the Ice Palace.

It was truly a one-sided massacre.

There was no way for the cultists, soaked in poison gas and heat, to defeat the punitive force.

Meanwhile, Youngsu was watching this whole scene from a corner far away.

‘I guess this can be resolved without me getting involved.’

Yeongsu did not join the punitive force.

Because there was still work to be done.

Yeongsu had no intention of ending this operation with the simple capture of the Ice Palace.

‘The real war hasn’t even started yet.’

Real war.

A complete all-out war where the full power of the Demonic Cult and the Murim Alliance collide.

You have to go there to get your hands on the ‘Blood Jade’.

And to do that… … .

‘We need fuel. The fuel that will turn this small war into a great war.’

In fact, all the fuel was prepared here.

All that remains is to mix them exquisitely.

Swish-

Yeongsu turned his gaze towards the main palace of Bingbaek Palace.

The main palace, where the residence and office of the Ice White Horse Emperor are located.

The fuel for war lay dormant there.

‘First, take care of the medicine, then the paperwork.’

Tadah!

Yeongsu started running towards the main palace.

* * *

The massacre-like battle ended quickly.

Of course, it was an overwhelming victory for the punitive force.

Of course, there were quite a few strong people fighting on the Demonic Cult side as well.

But the same was true for the punitive forces.

Since only 100 people were dispatched, only the strongest ones who were skilled in combat were selected.

However, despite the great victory, the atmosphere on the punitive force’s side was strange.

First of all, I couldn’t figure out where Youngsoo went.

But since I’m a person who usually travels alone, this didn’t matter to me.

A more crucial issue than that.

“Hey, where is the Ice White Horse?”

The enemy leader was nowhere to be seen.

“Have you ever seen someone using an ice machine?”

“Not at all.”

“Search the bodies. They might have burned to death.”

“But I don’t know what it looks like.”

“He uses a weapon called the Cheonhwaseokjang. It’s a staff with a sky-blue tint. Look for it.”

But no matter how hard they searched the castle, they couldn’t find the Ice White Horse.

It was natural.

Because the Ice White Demon had escaped through a secret passage.

An underground passage that allows you to escape from Baekro Mountain to the basement of the main palace.

The Ice White Demon had already escaped through there.

And of course, Youngsoo could not have been unaware of this.
