The Nature of Possession - The Nature of Possession chapter 149

149 – EP.7 Soyou VS Cheongyeon-3

***

“The difference in strength is unavoidable.”

Binggum muttered as if he was sorry, but Yeomjin, who was sitting in front of him, did not answer.

Yeomjin’s thin eyes on the fan stared at the stadium without flinching despite the cheers of the audience.

It wasn’t the relaxed appearance of Yeomjin that he always showed.

People in the VIP seats where Binggeom, Yeomjin, and high-ranking officials of the Murimmaeng sat were seeing the battle differently.

“However, time is running out.”

Yeomjin, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

Large ice crystals were forming around Cheongyeon, who was stuck in the audience.

– Isn’t it outside?

A buzz was heard from the audience, but the referee shook his head.

It was a rule that did not apply to Cheongyeon, who was surrounded by ice, because if the body touches outside the stadium, it is outside the field.

And Soyou Namgung did not want to end the match as a result of being out of the field.

“Stop procrastinating and come up.”

Namgung Soyou said while calming the burning flames.

“……”

Cheongyeon stretched out her hand to create an ice bridge from the audience to the arena, and Soyu Namgung stepped back slightly to clear a path for Cheongyeon to return.

Fatigue hung like fog on Cheongyeon’s face as she slid across the arena.

“Still strong.”

As soon as Cheongyeon regained her posture, Namgung Soyou’s energy exploded again.

Watching the student exploding his energy, Yeomjin folded his fan and stood up.

“Can’t you see more?”

Binggum asked Yeomjin, who was leaving, with a mockery.

“The results have already been decided, so why do we need to see them?”

Yeomjin looked back slightly and replied to Binggum, who was smiling.

“Well, that’s it too.”

Looking at Yeomjin leaving, Binggum smiled.

“Bingryungong, Yeomryungong, and Leoryungong… Not just the three traditional martial arts, but most martial arts have inner core techniques.”

Binggum cast his gaze downward.

“And that internal air simbeop affects people.”

“If you continue to use Ice Rungong, the caster loses his emotions and becomes numb to dealing with life. It is because it is affected by the internal air power.”

“That’s why Cheongyeon, who has a completely opposite personality, is a suitable child for a Bingryun Gong.”

Suddenly, Cheongyeon throws ice crystals and widens the distance.

“It’s because even if I open the Ice Gong, I’m less affected by it because of my good nature.”

Cheong-yeon continues to be pushed back by Namgung So-yu.

She rolled on the ground trying to escape the flames of her possession, and was blown away by the impact of the barrier breaking, but she persisted and got up.

“There is only one thing we asked of Cheongyeon in this match. To pass the time by performing an ice ball as little as possible.”

The flames from Namgung Soyou became fierce.

“Yeomjin. You took a child in an unstable state as a disciple for the synergistic effect of Yeomryun Gong. A child with a desire to become stronger.”

Binggum’s gaze shifted to Soyu Namgung.

The way she continued to drive Cheongyeon seemed very difficult.

Breathing is disturbed, and in the middle, there were times when he lost his balance and staggered as if he was getting dizzy from the heat he gave off.

“I don’t know what side effects there will be if you continue to use Yeomrun Gong… At least you should have taught how to suppress it for the sake of your apprentice.”

Namgung Soyou rushed in, lighting fire with both hands.

It was fast using the explosive power, but the sharpness was less than before.

– Empty!

Cheongyeon’s ice barrier blocked Namgung Soyou’s attack for the first time.

“Ughhhhh!!”

Perhaps out of anger that his attack was blocked, Soyou Namgung screamed and raised the bet.

The flames attached to Namgung Soyou began to burn even more fiercely.

Namgung Soyou, who has become a human torch, swings his arm randomly and knocks on the ice barrier of Cheongyeon.

There was no form of herbivore in its appearance.

“……”

Cheongyeon’s eyes, blocking Soyou’s attack under the solid ice barrier, turned to the audience.

Cheongyeon was asking her teacher.

‘Is it now?’

Seeing those questioning eyes, Binggum closed and opened his eyes for a moment.

The heat emitted by Soyou Namgung heated up the arena, and the spectators in the vicinity began to leave their seats in a hurry.

Now, only a few people remain in the general audience.

In Binggum’s eyes, the back of the man whom Yeomjin had introduced as a servant came into view.

The man’s face was filled with bewilderment, but he must have been shocked by his teacher’s ruined appearance.

Binggum thought so.

Binggum nodded slowly, and Cheongyeon’s eyes changed.

A chill gathered around her.

– Bang! bang!

As Souyu hit the ice barrier repeatedly, she felt that the barrier was gradually cracking.

“If only I break this!!!”

Namgung Soyou screamed and threw his fist at the barrier, but the barrier disappeared in front of her eyes.

Soyou Namgung’s attack cut through the air, and her uncontrolled power threw her off balance.

Cheong-yeon, who had moved beside her before she knew it, raised the sword made of ice pellets high, just like In-ho did.

“sh*t!”

In a situation where there was a distance to catch up, Soyou Namgung predicted the trajectory of the sword’s strike and threw himself.

However, a pillar of ice rising from the ground blocked the path, and her body hesitated for a moment.

Here, Namgoong Soyou had a premonition of his own defeat.

Cheong-yeon’s sword cut through the air, and a snowstorm dozens of times the size of the snowstorm that hit In-ho hit her.

– Chiyiik!!

As the snow melted, Namgung Soyou’s body temperature cooled quickly, and she took several steps forward, resisting the blizzard, but soon felt that her mind was getting more and more confused.

“Oh, no…!!!”

Namgung Soyou muttered as he felt his body freeze from the tip.

Those were the last words she uttered in this game.
