Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 913



Only Noblemtl

913====================

True empty hometown

The warrior wearing a hat continued to search the room and tried to leave after about an hour. However, as if he didn’t know the rules of this space, he stepped on the step without a care. If he had stepped in a straight line, the trap wouldn’t have been triggered, but because the warrior moved sideways little by little, the trap was already on the verge of being triggered.

‘Huh?’

Kukwakwak

At that moment, a trap that stopped time on the platform was activated! The hat warrior was stuck in place, and all of his movements stopped. At the same time, a trap with gravity increased by thousands of times and a wave of powerful poison simultaneously struck him. Even if I were to be hit by that, I would have thought that there was no other answer than death.

The moment the time stop was lifted, the bastard’s panicked voice was heard.

“Ugh.”

Kugugu Palace

The hat warrior seemed to be swept away by the waves of poison. And after a while, the hat flew into the air and fell.

” ……”

Lord, are you dead?

That monster is so vain?

I thought the bastard would evade or block just before, but it didn’t seem like that. No matter how I looked at it, it was like his blood, flesh, and bones had melted away at the same time in a wave of venom. He died so quickly that he didn’t feel much pain, but it was a terrible death. I watched him for a moment, then quickly jumped out of the mirror and tried to retrieve his hat.

“Haat!”

This is that guy’s clue! We have to get it and analyze it somehow!

But the moment I reached out and tried to grab it, the hat disappeared with a flash. The hat had not dissolved at all in the horrible poison, so it was floating on top of the poison, and I failed to grab it.

” … Tch.”

Did the attempt to identify you fail?

I sighed, still not quite grasping the situation as to what was happening.

Are you saying that a guy who single-handedly defeated hundreds of thousands of monsters in the Underworld, such as Gwijol and Gwijang, would die from a simple trap?

Of course, the inside of this Wheel King’s room was an extremely evil trap that could not be found in the human world. If time stopped and waves of poison and gravity thousands of times greater were to strike at the same time, no matter how skilled a person was, he would not be able to survive. Even so, the death of the bastard who had tormented me this much felt somewhat disappointing.

‘What should I say… It feels familiar. It feels a bit clumsy compared to the strength it possesses…’

I had that thought, but I thought it was ridiculous, so I erased it from my mind. How could such a monstrous person die so foolishly? I shook my head and reported the situation to Mangryang.

[Mangryang. The bastard is dead.]

[ ……?]

Mangryang also responded that he didn’t know English, but soon after hearing my explanation, he said.

[ I’m not sure if he’s dead. Did you use the divorce law to definitely detect the presence of his soul? ]

[ That’s right. I checked with Hwaan Geumjeong. He is definitely dead. ]

[If you were swept away by the wave of venom, there’s no way to find your body… Then come back for now.]

Pfft!

After a while, I stood before the Mangryang of the present world. Mangryang had used the Pacheonilwolseon to summon me from the underworld by using the protection of Pacheon. Mangryang’s face was slightly pale, but he spoke to me.

“Have a nice trip, Baek Woong.”

“There are only two days left?”

“That’s right. Now, the place we’re going to is Geumodo… Knock knock knock!!”

Suddenly, Mangryang started coughing and vomited blood. I was surprised and supported him as I spoke.

“Are you okay?”

“Hmm… I guess I’ll probably die within a few days. I’m reaching my limit quickly.”

It was a voice so terribly indifferent.

“Don’t say that.”

“You don’t have to worry. My death is already certain, so I have made an alternative plan.”

“It’s confirmed?”

When I was taken aback by Mangryang’s words, Mangryang spoke.

“As you know, the protection of the Heavenly Guardians, the protection of the Master, is the strongest protection in the heavens and earth, and it is the only one of its kind. I have used its power too much so far, and now it has reached its limit. Since death is already unavoidable, I have decided on a successor.”

“……!!”

“The successor will be a priest, as you know. There is no one else qualified.”

I didn’t know what to say. If Mangryang was going to say something like that, there was no way I could save him now. I suddenly remembered something and said.

“Divorce Law! If I extract your soul and transplant it into a doll, you will be able to continue living.”

“My uncle won’t even step forward, and even the divorce law that has been passed down to Daesung will not be enough. Even if I use a portrait maker with my father’s help, it will be meaningless.”

“Uh… why.”

“When I say that I died from using too much protection, it means that I used too much causality and soul power, and my very existence was depleted. Even if I were to transfer my depleted and twisted soul into an artificial body, it would die in less than a day.”

” ……”

“Baek Woong. Please. When I die, please give this Pacheon Il Wol Seon to my priest.”

It was Mangryang who quietly extended the handle of the Pacheonilwolseon toward me. I stared blankly at the Pacheonilwolseon and then said.

“The Monk Mangryang is said to be omnipotent, but he can’t even save you.”

“Master is not exactly omnipotent. He is just one of the closest beings to omnipotence in the world. And it would be against me to tilt the balance to save just me.”

“In the end, aren’t you treating me like an insect, even though I’m your disciple?”

“Even so, I have nothing to say. In reality, there is a difference that is greater than that…”

” Phew.”

I felt frustrated. If Mangyang said this, then no matter what I did, it would be impossible. I had seen Mangyang die many times, but when I thought about seeing it again, I felt sad and depressed all over.

until when.

How long must I just watch my colleagues die?

I think I’ve gotten pretty strong now, but am I still not strong enough to stand up to God?

But unlike before, my heart was not burning with passionate anger, and only the feelings of depression and regret became static shackles that tied my heart. This was because I knew deep down that it was just repeating the same thing and that it was a meaningless waste of emotion.

This may also be a change that occurred through multiple previous lives. I stared at Mangryang in silence and tried to smile with all my might.

[Just laugh once.]

It was because I remembered Zhuge Liang’s words.

” ……”

But the corners of my mouth wouldn’t go up. It wasn’t just my outward expression, it was my actual depression. How could I smile in this fucking situation? I should have been able to smile, but I couldn’t.

Oh, this is painful.

My mind feels like it’s in a fog.

‘I can’t laugh. What the hell…’

Is this what they call life?

To overcome this depression… what kind of strength do I need?

While I was blankly staring, Mangryang spoke.

“Finally, we will obtain the treasure of Geumodo Island and then finish by obtaining the Dharma hidden in the altar of the White Lotus Sect. I don’t know if it will work in two days, but let’s take it easy.”

” … I see. If you’re talking about the treasure of Geumodo… you’re talking about that egg.”

I answered, recalling my memory.

The treasure of Geumodo Island.

It is clearly talking about the mysterious egg that Jin So-cheong found out of nowhere when he attacked Geumodo Island in the past. The identity of the egg was completely unknown, but the prophet was so excited when he saw it that he paid a large price. It must have been something valuable, so Mangryang must have said that he must obtain the egg.

“Yes.”

“It’s not easy to obtain it since the 10,000 troops of Geumodo Island are still staying in that place.”

The challenge is this.

Geumodo itself was sealed with powerful magic, making it difficult to enter the other world, and it was impossible to go there by boiling. In addition, the egg was located in the heart of Geumodo, making it very difficult to infiltrate. It was obvious that it was protected by all sorts of magic barriers and traps. In the past, we had advanced by destroying everything, so it wasn’t a big concern, but now we wondered if we had the capacity to fight the Geumodo 10,000 Army head-on.

Then Mangryang said.

“That’s exactly why I decided on the route for this treasure acquisition quest. The difficulty level varies greatly depending on the order in which you obtain the treasures.”

” huh?”

“Think carefully about Hwangcheonneung’s abilities.”

I opened my mouth as I recalled the memories of Mangryang and suddenly realized something.

” ah…!!”

“I guess you realize it now.”

“Well, then it would be easy to get it.”

“Entering Geumodo Island may be a problem, but I will help you with that… So. Cool!!”

Mangryang vomited blood heavily and his face turned pale. This time, he seemed to have lost consciousness for a moment, as if his vomiting of blood was unusual. However, he shouted with all his remaining strength.

“Use the Primordial Heavenly Plate to determine the location and then enter the fortress!”

“Okay!”

“You must… get it!”

Pfft!!

After a while, I used the Primordial Heavenly Plate, and with the power of the Mangryang’s Pacheonilwolseon, I was able to bypass the dimensional barrier and arrive at the heart of Geumodo, inside the fortress of the Ten Thousand Army. As soon as I arrived, I swung the Hwangcheonneung and chanted a spell.

“Oh, Hwangcheonneung, embrace my body!”

Whirlyrick!!

The moment the Hwangcheonneung enveloped my body, Dongcheon-gun, the demon sage, suddenly appeared nearby after taking a few deep breaths. Dongcheon-gun looked around and muttered.

[ Hmm… What the… I clearly felt a human figure and presence, but then it suddenly disappeared! ]

” ……”

[ Hey, Yuan Tianjun! I thought you were here. Did anyone see you? ]

When Dongcheon-gun spoke to me, I responded calmly.

“I haven’t seen it…”

[ Did you really not see it? I could vaguely see it with my clairvoyant eyes, and it was an ugly man… He was so ugly that I couldn’t have seen it wrong! ]

“… ugly?”

[ Yes!! I’ve never seen such an ugly little human being! ]

I replied, gritting my teeth.

“Ugh… I, I guess you’re ugly… But I guess you’ve become more interested in human aesthetics since I last saw you!!”

[ Heh heh heh… What are you talking about? I’ve been in the human world for a long time, so I know the general idea. Anyway, it looks like he disappeared using a hiding spell, so if you find him, I’ll catch him and kill him.]

“Okay…”

Phew

Dongcheon-gun used his magic and disappeared again. I muttered as I realized that the Hwangcheonneung wrapped around my body did not hinder my movements at all.

“What a truly great treasure…”

Hwangcheonneung.

Originally, the Hwangcheonneung was the best fabric made by the best weaver in the underworld, dedicated to the secret procession of the Wheel-Turning King, the most powerful being in the underworld. It was created for the Wheel-Turning King to monitor whether the King of Hell was doing his job well!

As such, it was bound to contain tremendous abilities.

The beings surrounding the Hwangcheonneung were perceived as beings who would not be suspected by anyone, and were made to look like close companions. Furthermore, the sense of incongruity was extremely diluted, so no one could notice. Even the Ten Thousand Army, who could be called the pinnacle of Yokai Immortals, were able to fool them without a hitch!

In fact, I thought about using this Hwangcheonneung to escape from the Satgat Warrior, but it was too dangerous to try. If the Satgat Warrior was someone who did not trust anyone in the world and considered everyone an enemy, then even if I used Hwangcheonneung, it was obvious that I would be defeated without a fight. However, this was the fortress of the 10,000 troops, and since the 10,000 troops knew each other, they would not attack right away, so I was able to try Hwangcheonneung.

‘This allows me to move around the fortress without being suspected.’

In a way, Hwangcheonneung could be said to be an advanced version of my ability to wear a mask. Although I cannot borrow the abilities of the person whose appearance I borrowed, I could never fool a being as large as ten thousand troops with my mask technique.

‘If I had worn a mask and pretended to be a 10,000-strong army, they would have noticed and attacked me right away…’

In terms of simple transformation and illusion, Hwangcheonneung was overwhelmingly better than my skills. Thinking once again that I had obtained Hwangcheonneung well, I headed to the place I had confirmed earlier in the Primordial Heavenly Plate.

Slowly, slowly

I flinched when I saw the Virgin Mary of Gold while I was walking. She looked at me blankly and said:

[What’s going on here, Woncheon-gun?]

“Dongcheon-gun said that an ugly… human… invaded. I’m looking for it.”

[I see… Go back, I’ll look for it here.]

” uh?”

[This is a place you cannot enter without permission. You know that this is my area, right?]

“Of course I know…”

Oh, I’m in trouble.

Although they were not suspected of being comrades, it seemed that there were places that even a thousand soldiers could not enter.

‘Tsk… The place where the egg is is definitely inside…’

Should I come all the way here and break through by force and run away?

I spoke to the Virgin Mary while wandering around.

“Hey, you know it’s your fault if you can’t find it, right?”

[I know… Get out of here…]

” ……”

His attitude is so stubborn that it doesn’t seem like he’ll change. I thought about it for a while and then said to Mangryang in a pure tone.

[Mangryang. I’ve run into trouble.]

There was no answer. I thought something was wrong, so I tried again.

[Mangryang. Are you listening?]

After a while, instead of Mangryang’s voice, another voice came to me through the Suneogu.

[Baek Woong. Give up on the eggs and come back.]

[ … Zhuge Liulong?]

It seemed that it was Zhuge Liulong who received the prize in return for the pure fish.

[ Yes. I’m sorry, but I can’t support you anymore right now. Something urgent has come up, so come back quickly. If you overdo it there and die, you’ll be in big trouble. ]

[ What are you talking about? I came here using the protection of the Heavenly River…]

[ ……]

I froze in place at Zhuge Liulong’s subsequent words.

[Mangryang died just now…]
