Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 130
Only Noblemtl
Episode 130
This is how loneliness kills people.
The moment Solitude receives the order to ‘kill’, it sucks the mana out of the body it is parasitizing.
In this way, loneliness gradually expands, and when it passes the critical point, it explodes.
In a word, it is self-destructing.
In addition, loneliness is a state in which one is completely absorbed by the mana circuit of the body on which one is parasitizing.
If it explodes in that state, not only the mana circuit but also the nervous system and circulatory system will all be torn apart.
That is, the heart is destroyed and the brain nerves are burned.
This is why it was impossible to survive the self-destruction of loneliness without dying.
Still, Youngsu lived.
It was not because they survived the explosion, but because they had taken precautions against it in advance.
“This is the pharmacy. It’s been a while.”
During the operation to subdue the Ice Palace.
Yeongsu infiltrated the medical clinic located within the main palace of Bingbaek Palace.
A room where medical equipment and various medicinal herbs are stored, a pharmacy.
The quality of the Bingbaek Palace Medicine Hall was of a considerable standard.
The variety of medicinal herbs was vast, each of them of considerable quality, and all of them were carefully classified and organized.
Compared to the medical clinic at the headquarters of the Murim Alliance, it is at an overwhelming level.
In fact, it would be safe to say that any medicinal herbs that could not be obtained here could not be obtained anywhere else.
‘Anyway, these demon cultists’ obsession with medicine shows itself in places like this.’
Since ancient times, the cultists have had an obsessive interest in medicine and herbal medicines.
This is because a significant number of the cultists were physically disabled or had deformities.
This medicine was the result of trying to cure it.
Anyway, there was only one reason why Youngsoo infiltrated here.
‘What is the combination of the medicine that kills loneliness…?’
It was to find a medicine that would eliminate the loneliness embedded in my body.
‘Of course, there is no medicine that can immediately eliminate loneliness or kill it.’
If that were the case, the recipe for loneliness would not have been treated as a vision.
but…….
‘There is a drug that can induce the self-destruction of loneliness under certain conditions.’
That medicine is none other than a drug that weakens the outer shell of loneliness.
Yeongsu took the medicine right before leaving for the Battle of Jeongma.
And with the medicine in effect, Mugang gave an order to Godok.
“Die, Cheon Yeong-su.”
puck.
In that way, loneliness exploded inside Youngsu’s body.
But the explosion was less than half the original size.
Because the shell was weakened, the explosive power was greatly reduced.
Of course, an explosion is an explosion, so there was some damage… … .
‘Ugh, that hurts so bad.’
It was possible to survive the self-destruction of loneliness.
And with this, even loneliness has disappeared.
‘Okay, so the current situation is… … .’
Youngsoo looked towards the tower.
The shattered, eternal iron tower, with the blood jade floating in its center.
And then I saw Mugang walking towards Hyeol-ok.
‘Blood Jade!’
After absorbing the blood of over ten thousand people, the Blood Jade finally revealed itself to the world.
That was precisely the reason why Yeongsu had to lead the Jeongma Battle to this place.
Because I had to feed the blood of more than ten thousand people to that tower to get the Blood Jade out.
Youngsoo woke up.
The holy sword was put into inventory.
Because in my current physical condition, if I swung the holy sword recklessly, I could pass out from shock due to mana depletion.
Instead, he took out his dagger, grabbed it, and ran towards the blood jade.
—-
[Skill] ‘Direct Strike’ activated.
—-
Using lightness techniques, I quickly closed the distance with the blood jade.
Mugang’s back came closer before my eyes.
I wanted to just stick a knife in him, but I couldn’t.
We’ve already confirmed multiple times in the game that this method doesn’t work.
So then, how can we intercept and eat the blood jade before Mugang does?
That’s something I’ve already done in the game.
And even then, I lost to Mu-gang.
Even the spirit who absorbed the complete blood jade was defeated, so Moo-gang’s ‘ability to win’ was beyond imagination.
Then, after intercepting the blood jade, what if you just run away?
I tried that method too.
I’ve had success too.
But the problem was that if you went that route, you would 100% lose the war against the machines that would follow.
So this time, Youngsoo chose a different approach.
It’s terribly difficult, but there’s a way to secure even a 1% chance of winning against Mugang.
That was right, handing over half of the blood jade to Mu-gang.
* * *
Gulp.
Yeongsu swallowed half of the blood jade.
Tsk tsk tsk… … .
The blood jade that passed through the esophagus began to break down in the body.
The broken blood jade soon began to clump together near the dantian.
The blood jade began to settle in Youngsu’s body.
At the same time, the blood energy contained in the blood jade began to spread through the spirit’s mana circuit.
What Youngsoo consumed was half of the blood jade.
And the blood energy contained in the perfect blood jade is enough for 10,000 people.
In other words, the blood energy of 5,000 people, half of 10,000, had entered Youngsoo’s body.
‘Okay… …!’
This is the very reason why Yeongsu was desperate to get his hands on the blood jade.
Youngsoo always suffered from a lack of mana.
Because of this, I couldn’t use my upper level skills very well and had to rely on external mana batteries.
A tremendous amount of blood energy was injected into that young man.
This is the energy that can replace mana, called ‘blood energy’.
In addition, the blood jade’s blood energy storage capacity is almost infinite.
As long as the body could withstand it, it would be able to store all the blood it absorbed.
‘I didn’t take the mana capacity expansion potion for this.’
If you use potions to expand your mana capacity, the blood jade will not settle properly in your body.
‘The amount of blood that has now entered the body is… roughly 100,000 times more than the existing mana capacity.’
In addition, the body is extremely strengthened through continuous KP absorption.
A massive amount of energy and a body that can withstand that energy.
Youngsoo finally got his hands on both of them.
‘The blood of 5,000 people… … .’
And it wasn’t just 5,000 ordinary people.
The spirit of 5,000 warriors who have trained their entire lives in martial arts.
The power contained in that blood was dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person.
‘This is the reason why the blood of the unmanned people was fed to the Blood Prison instead of ordinary people.’
The power of blood that I finally got my hands on.
The first thing Youngsu did was to recover.
Shwaaaaa… … .
The wounds all over Youngsu’s body healed in an instant.
Super regenerative abilities.
This was the power of the blood jade.
Consuming blood energy to heal the wounds suffered by the owner of the blood jade.
Unless the wound is fatal, such as a burst heart or a decapitated head, the blood jade will heal the wound in an instant.
This was the reason why those who possessed the Blood Jade could practically claim semi-permanent immortality.
Uduk.
Youngsoo clenched his fists.
I could clearly feel the strength flowing through my whole body.
Yeongsu looked up and looked at Mu-gang.
Now there was only one task left to accomplish here.
Kill Mu-gang and take the remaining half of the Blood Jade and his blood energy from him.
“Shall we go and see?”
Sling.
Yeongsu took out the holy sword from his inventory and held it.
* * *
Meanwhile, Moo-gang watched all of Yeong-su’s changes.
A sudden increase in energy, and rapid recovery of stamina.
And above all, the wounds healed in an instant.
There was no way that Mu-gang didn’t know that all of these were the effects of the Blood Jade.
Moo-gang looked at what was in the palm of his hand.
Half blood jade.
If you eat this… … .
Huh.
There was no reason to think any further.
Mu-gang swallowed the blood jade.
And Youngsoo saw that-
‘Okay!’
I cheered inside.
Meanwhile, the blood jade began to quickly settle into Mu-gang’s body.
Then his body also began to change slowly.
Tsuzuzuzu-
Wrinkles are smoothing out and liver spots are starting to disappear.
The hair that had turned pure white began to turn black, and the creaking joints began to return to their original state.
Reverse aging.
His body was getting younger.
Hyeol-ok began to regard aging as a ‘wound’ and began to treat it.
“Oh, oh, oh, oh… … !”
An exclamation escaped from Mu-gang’s mouth without him knowing it.
“Youth returns… …!”
Banrohwandong.
Returning to the body of my youth, when I was at my strongest.
It’s every drone’s dream.
But this is something that no one has ever achieved in the long history of martial arts.
But Mu-gang finally managed to get his hands on it.
“Finally… finally my wish… … .”
However, the joy did not last long.
Because his head started to ring little by little.
‘…give it to me.’
‘Save me… … .’
‘Kkaaaak… …!’
Thud!
Moo-gang grabbed his head.
A terrible headache struck me.
No, it wasn’t just a headache.
A pain that feels like the mind itself is being torn apart.
‘Kkaaaah!’
‘Eeeeeeeee… …!’
‘Ugh… … .’
‘Let me out of here… … ‘
They are the screams of the masters of blood that Mu-gang received through the blood jade.
This was the worst side effect of ‘vampirism’, the screams of the dead.
All sorts of screams began to swirl around in his head, eating away at Moo-gang’s spirit.
“Kuaaaah… … !”
Yeongsu said while looking at Mu-gang, who was groaning while holding his head.
“How is it? You didn’t expect that, did you?”
Of course, screams were echoing in Youngsoo’s head as well.
A headache of similar intensity was piercing my head.
But Youngsoo wasn’t as distressed as Mu-gang.
Because Youngsoo has already experienced this pain many times.
Because of that, Youngsoo developed a certain level of tolerance.
A certain level of endurance to withstand the screams of the dead.
So this moment was an opportunity.
A chance to blow off Moo-gang’s head.
Youngsoo did not miss this moment.
Peeing!
Yeongsu extended the blade of the Holy Sword and aimed it at Mu-gang’s head.
A blade that extends at bullet speed.
The tip of the sword flew, aiming precisely for the space between Mu-gang’s eyebrows.
But at that moment.
Pakang!!
The holy sword’s blade bounced off with a clear sound.
Even though he was clutching his head from the headache, he managed to fend off Youngsoo’s attack.
Chahak!
Yeongsu shortened the blade of the Holy Sword that had been extended.
He muttered in a voice that was half annoyed and half amazed.
“You’re going to kick this out… … ?”
This wasn’t just a stab.
It was the fastest blow, accurately calculating and hitting the blind spot of vision and perception.
Moo-gang reflexively defended himself against such attacks.
While not in my right mind.
Indeed, it was not for nothing that he held the title of Sword Master.
Of course, the Mugang side was not free from damage either.
He barely managed to avoid having his brain pierced, but he was also wounded.
“That… that… that… that… .”
Incomprehensible words flowed out of Mu-gang’s mouth.
It was because his lower jaw had just been cut off by Youngsoo’s attack and was hanging there.
but-
Clank!
Moo-gang grabbed the lower jaw and put it back in its original place.
Zzuzuzuzu-
Then, in an instant, the wound healed.
The severed bones and skin were reattached, and the loose teeth were put back in place.
It was the power of the blood jade, the ability to regenerate.
The screams in my head were still there, but I suppressed them with my intense murderous intent towards Youngsoo.
Moo-gang looked at Yeong-su.
The distance to Youngsoo is about 100 meters.
Moo-gang said.
“… Yes, it seems that you can attack from that distance with that strange sword.”
Sigh.
Moo-gang made a motion as if he was sweeping something up with one hand.
“Then let me show you.”
A technology that was theoretically perfected long ago.
However, it was a technique that could not be used in actual combat due to the excessive consumption of energy and the heavy burden on the brain.
But thanks to the blood jade, all those problems were solved at once.
Moo-gang finally took out the martial arts of his dreams.
A thousand swords in full bloom.
The skill of freely handling a thousand swords.
Ki-gi-gi-gi-ging-
In an instant, the swords scattered on the floor began to rise into the air.
The sword of those who died in the Battle of Jeongma.
A thousand swords floated up behind Mu-gang’s back.
The tips of those countless swords were aimed at the leader.
A sight so overwhelming that an ordinary martial artist would have lost their will to fight in an instant.
But it wasn’t Youngsoo.
“Is this how it’s supposed to be from the beginning?”
Shh …
Youngsoo said as he opened his inventory.
“Then this side should also go out accordingly.”
Master!
Weapons poured out of Youngsoo’s inventory.
A total of 205 pieces.
These were the weapons that had been taken from King Gojong’s house.
These are the weapons that King Gojong stole from the people using the Daeho’s internal strife as bait.
“Okay then, Master.”
Youngsoo activated his skill.
—-
[Skill] ‘Sword Technique’ activated.
—-
Ki-gi-gi-ging!
205 weapons simultaneously rose behind the leader.
“… Please die now.”
