Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 120
Only Noblemtl
Episode 120
Seoho broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
“…yes?”
“You put poison in your alcohol, you brat. A poison that controls your danjeon. Did you think I wouldn’t even notice the smell of that?”
“T-What do you mean! I just wanted to bring you the drink I was given… … .”
“Enough acting, you spy. Isn’t it time you were honest?”
“… … !”
Seoho’s spine was chilled.
Youngsoo knew from the beginning.
That Seoho is a spy for the Demonic Cult.
Uduk.
Seoho quietly ground his teeth.
From now on, it’s a do-or-die situation.
Seoho swung his other hand, which was not pierced by the chopsticks, at Yeongsu.
But Youngsoo was faster.
—-
[Skill] ‘Bloodshot’ activated.
—-
Phew phew!
There were blood spots all over Seoho’s upper body.
At that moment, something amazing happened.
Seoho’s body began to twist and change shape.
Drumroll, drumroll-
“Ughhhhh… …!”
Ban Seo-ho was a young man with the appearance of being in his early twenties.
And short stature, skinny build.
But the moment the transformation began, that youthful appearance disappeared without a trace.
Knock knock-
“Keuk, huh… … .”
And what appeared was a middle-aged man with a healthy physique and appearance of early 40s.
From his appearance to his physique, he had become completely different from before.
Youngsoo said.
“Transfiguration. It is a technique that allows you to change your appearance at will by adjusting your blood flow and musculoskeletal system.”
“How, how did you… …!”
“I’m the one who wants to ask. How on earth do you do that? It’s amazing every time I see it.”
“What… every time I see you… … ?”
Ban Seo-ho’s appearance in his 20s suddenly changed to that of a 40-year-old.
Strictly speaking, it was not a change, but a restoration.
Because his body, which he had intentionally distorted, returned to its original form.
In other words, the appearance of a middle-aged man in his 40s that we see now was Ban Seo-ho’s real, original appearance.
Youngsoo said.
“He must have transformed into a form using reverse magic, and used a special breathing technique to erase the magic from his body, in order to become the leader’s attendant. And he must have handed over all the information within the alliance to Ilwol Palace.”
“… … !”
“I saw a pigeon flying towards Ilwolgung earlier. It had purple feathers and red eyes. You flew it, right?”
“… … !!”
At this point, Seoho felt like he was seeing a ghost.
The man in front of me, Cheon Yeong-su, knew everything.
Even information that is obvious and can never be found out no matter what you do.
Seoho asked.
“…Are you by any chance from our school?”
“Hmm? No. Can you please stop getting me involved with that cult?”
“How dare you… … !”
“Don’t frown. I know. You guys are really pitiful and tear-jerking.”
“… … ?!”
Seoho’s eyes wavered for a moment.
Yeongsu continued speaking calmly.
“But your Ilwol Shinkyo has gone too far to just let it slide, thinking it’s pitiful. How many towns have you taken over? How many innocent people have died at your hands, huh?”
“…the world made us that way.”
“Yes, that’s true. But you guys hate this world. Then why do you live the way the world made you?”
“… … .”
Ban Seo-ho couldn’t refute Young-soo’s words.
“In a day or two, the letter you sent will reach the Ilwol Palace. Then, your Ilwol Shingyo will have no choice but to take action. That’s how the Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult will meet at Ogeom Mountain. Each will bring their full force.”
“…What on earth are you trying to say?”
“It’s a story about what’s going to happen in the future. It also includes things that you’ll be happy to hear.”
“what……?”
“First of all, the Murim Alliance will definitely be destroyed by that war. I will make it happen. Does that sound a little bit appealing?”
“… … !”
Every time it feels refreshing.
The Murim Alliance is the Demonic Cult’s worst enemy.
Because he was a tiresome presence that blocked the path of everything the Demonic Cult did.
“And in the process, I will erase your Sun and Moon sect as well.”
“…I can’t listen to it anymore.”
“What can I do if you can’t listen?”
That moment.
Sasa sasa sasa-
Something black was filling the floor.
It felt like I was seeing black sand that was alive and moving on its own.
It was a swarm of bugs.
A swarm of bugs controlled by Ban Seo-ho.
Youngsoo muttered.
“… It’s the art of the sly.”
“I won’t die alone… …!”
Sasa sasa sak!
Countless insects surrounded the table where Youngsoo was sitting.
Youngsoo knew what kind of bugs those were.
Aphids.
Insects that eat the flesh, bones, and internal organs of living animals.
Ban Seo-ho planned to turn Yeong-su into food for those bugs.
And Youngsoo had no intention of just taking it easy.
Yeongsu flicked the ignition glove he was wearing on his left hand.
Push tasting!
A large amount of smoke poured out of the incendiary glove.
Spicy and thick smoke.
As is often the case with other bugs, they began to squirm about in the pungent smoke, unable to come to their senses.
Of course, even in the midst of all this, there were entities that bravely broke through the smoke and approached Youngsoo.
But in the end, they were unable to approach Youngsoo.
Because it was the unicorn horn necklace around Youngsoo’s neck.
The scorpionfish has an organ that secretes a poison that dissolves flesh and bones.
However, I felt the poison being neutralized by the purifying energy emanating from the unicorn horn necklace, and I instinctively kept my distance.
Seoho, who didn’t know this reason, was dumbfounded.
The insects that had followed his orders even if it meant dying were trembling in fear for the first time.
‘You bastard Cheon Yeong-su… What on earth did you do… …!’
There was no way now.
One hand is pierced by chopsticks and is fixed to the table.
The body is paralyzed from the point of impact.
The situation is such that even the last resort, the art of slaughter, has become distorted.
There was no choice.
Seoho pulled out his true energy from his dantian and forcibly caused the energy in his energy pulse to run wild.
It was to forcibly correct the blood vessel that had become blocked by a point.
Pubber pubber!
Shocks erupted from all over Seoho’s body.
Soon, a pain that felt like my bones were breaking and my muscles were tearing shot through my body.
In fact, some muscles were torn and bones were cracked.
‘Eeeeek… …!’
But the price for enduring the pain was clear.
Yeongsu had finally managed to remove the acupuncture needle that had been inserted.
The enemy he had to defeat was right in front of him, and he was free.
Seoho swung his fist.
But this time again, Youngsoo was faster.
Phew phew!
Youngsoo’s acupuncture needle once again penetrated Seoho’s body.
But this acupuncture point was different from the one I had before.
It was much sharper and more murderous.
And finally, Youngsoo’s last bloodletting was injected.
—-
[Skill] ‘Bloodshot explosion’ activated.
—-
puck!
A short, sharp shock exploded inside Seoho’s body.
The upper application skill of point acupuncture, point acupuncture explosion.
A technique that distorts the blood flow in the body with a point, concentrates excessive mana in a specific area, and then stabs and bursts it to cause internal injuries.
It was a skill that could kill a living being without trauma, quietly, and with only bare hands.
dump!
Seoho was left lying there.
As soon as the master of the Chungryo technique died, the rushing insects began to wander around in confusion.
Youngsoo aimed his incendiary gloves at the guys.
Hurrah!
Yeongsu sprinkled fire on the floor and burned the crickets.
Since the floor was made of fire-resistant stone tile, it didn’t matter if you sprinkled some fire on it.
After finishing all the work, Youngsoo sat on the bed.
‘… How do I deal with that?’
Yeongsu scratched his head as he looked at Ban Seo-ho’s body.
The best thing would be to prove that he was a spy for the Demonic Cult.
The problem is that it doesn’t seem like that bastard Ban Seo-ho would have left any evidence behind.
‘Mugang, that guy who’s been around that picky old man for years without being caught. There’s almost no chance he’d leave any proper evidence behind.’
Even if the evidence remained, it was a problem.
It was obvious that Youngsoo would have to be locked up while the evidence was discovered and verified.
If by any chance you are unable to participate in this war, all your plans will fall apart.
In the end, the best way is… … .
‘The only way is to just get rid of the body itself… … .’
But this is the center of the Murim Alliance, with eyes all around watching.
It wasn’t a good place to dispose of a body without a trace.
Then how on earth… … .
‘No.’
If it’s difficult to get rid of the body ‘here’, why not get rid of it somewhere else?
Flutter!
Yeongsu pulled out the bedsheet, spread it out, and placed Seoho’s body on it.
And the corpses of the insects that had burned were also swept up with a broom.
After wrapping the body tightly in a bed sheet like that.
Youngsoo took out a knife from his inventory.
Sreung!
What Youngsoo took out was a sword with a blade that glowed gold.
It was the Holy Sword Kairus.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the wild.”
Yeongsu swung the holy sword into the air.
Space split and a portal opened.
Shhh!
The place where the portal leads to is the main gate of the wild shopping mall.
The guard standing guard at the main gate was startled.
“W-W-Master?!”
“Go and get Kapseok. As soon as possible.”
“yes!”
In just a few seconds, Kap-seok came running towards the portal in a hurry.
“Wh, what’s going on?!”
“I have something to leave to you. Take this for now.”
Yeongsu carried Ban Seo-ho’s body, wrapped in a bedsheet, across the portal.
“What is this?”
“It’s a corpse. Don’t open it.”
“no.”
“You know that waste disposal device made from the stomach of the Serpent Zentamino? Throw it in there.”
“Oh, yes… but there’s no problem there, right?”
“That body is the only problem right now. You get rid of it.”
“yes…….”
Gap-seok said, carrying the corpse wrapped in a bedsheet over his shoulder.
“But since you’re at the portal, why don’t you take a quick break before you go?”
“No. I have to stay here. I don’t know what might happen.”
In addition, the Holy Sword Portal has a cooldown of 2 hours.
“By the way, how is Hwang In-woo’s condition?”
“… It’s not critical, but it’s not good. I’ve been feeling a little cold coming out of my body for a while now.”
“hmm…….”
It was evidence that the palpitation was worsening again.
Because my body was unable to control the cold that was running wild.
“You can fix it, right?”
“Isn’t that why I came here and suffered like this?”
“but…….”
“Don’t worry. Oh, are our kids’ training going well?”
“I roll over and throw up every day.”
“Okay, I’m doing well. And… … .”
That moment.
Tsk tsk tsk… … .
The portal slowly began to close.
“I guess the maintenance time is up. See you later.”
“Stay healthy.”
“you also.”
Pak-
The portal is closed.
* * *
Hooooo-
The dove flew across the sky.
A pigeon with feathers that are a vivid, deep purple hue, unlike ordinary pigeons.
And its most distinctive feature is its two glowing red eyes.
It was a carrier swarm that Ban Seo-ho had flown.
The dove flew toward the west.
Towards the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, the Ilwolgung Palace.
But it was not easy for a single pigeon, not even in a flock, to complete that long distance without any obstacles.
And it actually flew about two-thirds of the way.
Shhh-
puck!
Each bird struck the pigeon with its talons.
A lightning strike from high altitude.
The hawk grabbed the dead pigeon and flew down to the ground to begin eating.
But the leisurely eating was short-lived.
As he ate about half of the pigeon’s flesh, the hawk’s eyes began to change.
With the same bright red light as the dove.
The hawk, as if possessed by something, grabbed the cylinder tied to the pigeon’s ankle with its talons and flew up.
And the falcon began to fly west.
As if the dove’s will was contagious.
“The eagle is coming.”
The innermost building of Ilwolgung Palace, Gyojujeon.
It was the building where the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, Cheonma, resided.
The hawk passed all the other buildings and landed on the torch of the main shrine.
One of the aides of Cheonma, who resides in the temple, received a letter of resentment from the falcon.
A cylinder painted in gold.
What the colors meant was simple.
“A letter from the blind… … !”
The aide hurriedly entered the main building.
The innermost room of the main temple.
There were dozens of calligraphy and paintings hanging there, the meaning of which was difficult to understand, and also dozens of incense burners were burning.
And in the center of that dark room, a golden, shining figure was crouching.
The aide approached the golden figure and spoke.
“Reverend.”
That golden something is the leader of the Sun and Moon Shinkyo sect.
It was a horse.
