#281. The Wise Man 6

#281.

An old man who was scanning the battlefield with his sword stretched out.

Dragon Head Gang Leader, Wi Mok Gae.

“······.”

Suddenly, the calm eyes of the woodcutter took on a faint, strange color.

A distant battlefield. Feeling something, Wi Mokgae expanded his senses even more with a puzzled expression. The scope of his energy expanded to even greater and more detailed areas, and a vast amount of information flooded into Wi Mokgae’s head.

The intuition and insight of the veteran who lived through the turbulent times ran across the vast battlefield······and finally, Wi Mok Gae found that there was not a single infected person on that land.

“Is this happening?”

The woodpecker opened its eyes wide.

A bloody battlefield of monsters that have set foot on the realm of transcendence. How can one possibly deal with suspected infections in such a chaotic and large battlefield?

Humans are not machine weapons made of parts. No matter how thoroughly you do it, one or two things will inevitably slip through.

That’s why the wooden dog couldn’t shake off his doubts.

“······.”

The dark clouds covering the sky are so large that they can be seen from here, more than 10km away. The faint red light flashing beneath them is quite ominous. The corpses falling like rain are piling up mountains of meat.

Wimokgae wanted to check the battlefield situation in more detail. However, in the middle of a battlefield, expensive electronic devices and radio signals would quickly become useless. Wimokgae quickly got up from his seat and hurriedly walked somewhere.

By the way, there was one more person besides Yongdubangju Wimokgae who was observing the battlefield from a distance.

bang!

As the upper part of the tower came down, a thick cloud of dust spread out. Since it was quite high up in the sky, only the dark sky was visible around it.

Swish-

At that moment, dozens of silver blades were hung in a circle around Weimokgae’s neck. A dazzling magical power flowed from the extremely sharp blades, and a menacing lightning flashed on Weimokgae’s temples.

Phage, phage, phage!

“Are you crazy? Are you crazy because you want to fry your old neck?”

A woman with a nervous reaction approached. She was Twelveth Johanna, who was watching the distant battlefield through a telescope from her airship above Al Heimdall City.

Hooooo······.

A great energy burst forth from the lower abdomen of the upper body. The silver blades that Johanna had deployed were pushed back as if they were sliding under the truly tremendous internal energy.

The man who pushed the blade away spoke calmly.

“Come here. I need to take a look too.”

At the center of the ship, where the gaze of the upper part of the ship fell, was a large telescope that exuded a strange magical power.

“···This? If you’re that curious, then speak first.”

Then, Johanna, who burst into laughter, gave up her seat without resistance. This was because Johanna also intuitively sensed the identity of the wooden dog that had come up onto the airship.

All old beggars are born the same way. But there is only one beggar in the world who can rise to the ranks of the Banbak Gwijin and fool Johanna’s detection network.

“Aren’t you retired? What are you doing that’s so dangerous?”

“Greed can be a catalyst for advancement. Seeing that you’ve come to this dangerous place on your own, it won’t be long before the Twelve Emperors are filled with level 10 masters.”

“······.”

“If the cornerstone of the Federation still remains.”

The short-sighted dog, who had been listening to Johanna’s grumbling words, looked into Johanna’s magical telescope.

Soon, a clear blue light filled Weimokgae’s two eyes. He carefully examined the battlefield where enormous power was being exchanged. Although the world outside the barrier was dark and hard to see, it was enough to confirm Weimokgae’s sense of the situation.

There are no infected people.

The strong members of the expedition team are killing the ‘suspected infected’ immediately, but they are doing it mechanically before any signs of infection appear.

There would be no way to know for sure whether they were actually infected or not in the middle of such a crowded battlefield. The aura of Weimokgae, who had entered the realm of the heavenly realm and possessed a vision no different from that of a thousand miles, was speaking as such.

“I have to let them know before more of the bad guys die.”

“···?”

Boom!

The moment he was sure that his intuition was correct, Weimokgae jumped out of the airship.

Immediately afterwards, the great voice of the Dragon’s Ark’s eagle echoed throughout Al Heimdall and the lands outside the Wall.

[There are no infected people!!!]

···Like that, the wooden dog jumped down and disappeared.

“Hmm, is this really what you can see?”

Johanna remained on the airship above Al Heimdall.

Johanna manipulated the magic telescope illuminating the distant battlefield a few times without any sense. The battlefield occupied by the large yokegi appeared to be warped by the massive qi waves. To be honest, it was hard to see even with the telescope. The yokegi and qi that had consumed the atmosphere were intertwined to the point where only human figures could be seen.

“But if that old bastard is that sure—”

But Johanna finally made up her mind and piloted the ship towards the battlefield where dark clouds were gathering.

Woooooooooo—

Soon, a huge fleet of airships cut through the dark sky.

* * *

······There are no infected people.

······There is no sleep.

A thunderous clap of thunder.

“Reverend.”

“Are you okay?”

The left and right guardian deeds of Sungmugyo guarded Dokgo Woongbaek as he came down to the ground.

Thud—

Dokgo Woongbaek wiped off the blood that had dried on his fist. After catching his breath, he guessed who the owner of the voice that had just echoed through the sky was.

“Dragon Head and Bangju. Were you really watching?”

The leader of the Gaebong faction, Haomen’s rival. Weimokgae.

There aren’t many people in the Federation who have seen the face of Yongdubangju in person. This is because Wi Mokgae is quite old and is treated as someone who has practically stepped back from the front lines of the martial arts world.

However, with the appearance of the Sage and the death of the Seven Seats, a truly large number of strong people have gathered in Al Heimdall City. There are currently eight Level 10 players who have participated in the expedition, and over 60 Level 9 players, who are the backbone of Mega Corporation, have come, so it is understandable that they have even come to the Dragon Head Ark where they usually hide.

however······

Suddenly there are no infected people in this battlefield?

The battlefield, which had been in chaos due to the loud thunder of the upper chamber, entered a state of calm for a moment.

“······.”

Hooooooo······

Even the Danggaju who had become a vengeful spirit and was running wild stopped attacking for a moment. The Sachuksan and Jari, including the named Bahal, also extended their energies in that direction to try to grasp the realm of the person who had just thundered. This was because he was not an ordinary person with internal energy.

The only things moving now are low-level corpses that fell from the dark clouds.

For a while, the thunderous voice of the Dragon’s Head rang repeatedly in the heads of the expedition team.

Suaah—

Of course, there were no people who just stood there dumbly. The strong men above level 9 in the expedition camp simultaneously spread their energy as if they had made a promise. The energy was so strong that not even a single ant could escape, and the magicians’ detection magic. They thoroughly searched each other’s energy.

and.

“It’s really strange.”

Isaac’s breathing became heavy as he finished the search the fastest.

“······.”

The battlefield was dyed red with blood. Tens of thousands of corpses were falling from the sky, and the corpses of the mighty named were trampling upon humanity, but there was no disturbance due to betrayal.

It was certainly a strange thing. Or was it the corpse’s trick?

However, such evidence alone was not enough to completely trust Yongdubangju’s words. Isaac’s eyes narrowed as he pondered. In order to confirm whether Yongdubangju’s words were truly true······.

“Let me check.”

“···.”

The moment Isaac’s eyes flashed, the angry voice of Danggaju Dangnokun was heard from the other side. Red blood dripped from the hem of his damp military uniform. Around Dangnokun, a huge, intangible, poisonous mist rippled, exuding a terrible murderous aura.

Jeobuk-

Dang Nok-un, who was chasing the jar that was running away while crying, turned around. He briefly stared in the direction where the voice of Yongdubangju Wi Mokgae had come from, shook his head, and crossed the battlefield vertically.

Two level 9 members of the Tang family died in battle with the Named Jar. Tang Nok-un had recently decided to overcome the level 10 barrier and willingly subjugate the sages, but as fate would have it, he lost two of the Sega’s masters in vain. The cause was an infection.

The jar was invincible, so Dangga’s extreme poison didn’t work well. Thanks to that, Dang Jinwoon, who was seriously injured, pulled out the innate spirit and aimed for Donggwi Eojin, but eventually died. Another elder, Danghap, thought he was infected during the battle and quietly accepted death. Dang Nokwoon killed Danghap with his own hands. He calmed his mind, thinking that the precedent of Nokryang and Baekryang should not happen again.

“······.”

Jeobuk-

Dang Nok-un also felt something strange during the process.

If they were infected with the blood of a corpse of level 10 or higher, the infection would spread at an unusual rate. This is because they accepted death with their sanity intact, without even showing any signs of infection until just before they died.

Jeobuk-

Dangnokun approached the group of Megacorp’s magicians expressionlessly. No one could stop him from approaching because of the aura that flowed out of him. The moment he spoke carelessly, a sense of oppression that made his entire body feel like it was melting swept over him.

Dang Nok-un, who was standing in front of several wizards in an instant, spoke.

“I saw you guys inhale that monster’s vaporized pus earlier.”

“What does that mean?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about······.”

The magicians who stood before Danggaju were startled and their hearts sank, but they barely managed to hide their astonishment and answered. However, there was no way to hide their instinctively trembling voices and even their breathing. This was because Dang Nok-un’s words were undeniably true.

“Nonsense?”

Dang Nok-un raised his hand with an indifferent expression. His hand was covered in poison and had a very strong aura.

“Z, you’re threatening me with unprovable facts—”

Kwak!

Dangnokun instantly appeared and silenced the mouths of the two magicians who were trying to refute him. Unless they were both level 10, there was no magician with the skills to stop an angry Dangnokun. From the beginning, the martial artist had an absolute advantage in close combat.

Dangnokun grabbed the mouths of the two wizards who were trying to escape and threw them onto the ground filled with the bodily fluids of the named jars and the blood of the corpses.

Kwaaang!

“!!!”

The wizards had their mouths forcibly opened and their faces were covered in blood. They were struggling like crazy, and Dangnokun was pressing down hard from above. The body fluids and blood of the level 10 corpses were seeping into their mouths.

If you suck in blood like that, even if it’s not a small wound, it’s impossible to hide the infection even a little. Now, I had to let out a gasp without realizing it, my instincts taking over.

however.

“······.”

A look of amazement spread from Dang Nok-un’s dreary eyes.

Surprisingly, the wizards were not really infected, but only groaned in pain. Instead, they chanted magic spells and struggled to escape from Dangnokun’s grasp. They remained human even after drinking blood and body fluids.

“Euuugh······.”

A moment later, the magicians who had barely escaped from Dang Nok-un’s grasp retched. It was an extremely violent attack, but no one reprimanded them, perhaps because they were overwhelmed by the shocking sight.

Moreover, Dang Nok-un proved that the thunderous message from Weimokgae was ‘true’ by using the wizards almost as test subjects.

After a while, Dang Nok-un furrowed his brows in loneliness.

“Did I kill the elders of Sega with my own hands······.”

Hooooooooooo—

A venomous aura that was difficult to breathe flowed down to Dangnokun’s feet, and then sank heavily to the ground. An extremely dark venomous aura rose like a mist. Dangnokun stared blankly at the ruins where the wise man was standing, and opened his mouth softly.

“The wise man seems to have discovered an absurd miracle.”

Following this, the complexion of Dang Nok-un, which had been covered in dark poison, returned. Compared to before, when he could not control his furious emotions and ran wild like a vengeful spirit, his spirit flowed sharply and refined. The Dang family head had no intention of making the deaths of his direct descendants in vain. Behind Dang Nok-un, the warriors of the Sacheon Dang family gathered like clouds.

— What the hell is that nonsense······.

— You just saw it with your own two eyes.

— Yeah, there’s no reason to lie.

When Dang Nok-un actively verified the truth of Wei Mok-gae’s message, the hall was instantly thrown into chaos. It was not chaos caused by battle, but chaos caused by a miracle beyond common sense. How could he stop a force that had not been stopped for over a hundred years and even decades? It was truly a mysterious thing.

Soon, the heads of the Megacorps that participated in the expedition looked into each other’s eyes.

Then, as the atmosphere became increasingly uncontrollable, even the powerful members of Megacorp noticed the situation and rallied together tightly. Now, no one was particularly bothered by the blood flowing under their feet.

greatness-

At that moment, the Western King Nivana, who had been watching, opened his mouth calmly and seriously.

“Fragrant flowers attract insects.”

—······.

“There is something miraculous that can prevent infection. But what if it is one of the strange powers possessed by the corpse? Also, is it possible that the monster hiding in the giant’s stomach and the wise man are in cahoots? It could be a scheme to lure the Federation’s strongmen deep into the depths using the infection antibodies as bait and annihilate them all at once.”

—······.

The words of the King of the West revealed the characteristics of the Seoin (鼠人) who were meticulous and cautious.

It was a reminder to everyone not to blindly trust even information that seemed certain. The atmosphere within the expedition team, which had been seething due to Dang Nok-un’s aggressive verification, calmed down a little.

The King of the West spoke for the last time, warning against hasty judgment.

“We don’t know why yet. So trust, but don’t be complacent.”

The Westerners who formed a line bowed their heads respectfully.

Seowang Nivana stopped talking at that point. If he poured too much cold water on the boiling atmosphere, it could end up sapping the rising fighting spirit. It was enough to maintain a moderate level of tension.

* * *

Meanwhile, Named Bahal was watching the scene from the sky.

【 No infection? 】

Bahal looked even more incredulous than the humans below him.

Even in the duel with Dokgo Woongbaek, the characteristic languidness that had always been leisurely disappeared, and instead, an unsolvable question arose.

The horns at the corners of the mouth, which were now essential materials for the clone, were noticeably shorter than before. Seven level 9 swordsmen and four swordsmen of the Shaman Corporation. While dealing with those humans as a clone, he had to deal with Dokgo Woongbaek as his main body, so even Bahal couldn’t afford to take it easy.

Kurururururung—

【······Could it really be because of that guy?】

Bahal, who had come to mind, looked at the sage on the ruins where the endless bombardment of the yogic forces continued. The sage was still standing, but his energy was gradually fading. He saw humans crawling towards him like cockroaches, but the level was not high enough to worry about, so he ignored it.

Soon, the jar broke free from Dangnok-un’s grasp and joined them, and Sa-cheok-san rode the clouds next to Bahal, and the three named people gathered in one place.

Bahal, who had been watching the situation unfolding, asked.

【You still haven’t finished the other five? Unlike this side, there aren’t many strong people.】

【 On our side······there are three first lieutenant ranks······. 】

【You bastard. You said you’d catch up soon, but it was all a bluff. You need to get better first.】

【 Ah······That’s right······. 】

The jar replied with a noticeably worsening complexion. The pus flowing from the poison of the Tang family had a putrid smell and his stomach was stained black.

Ugh— tsk tsk—

As the jar concentrated its energy, the poison gathered at the tip of the arm that emerged from the stomach. It soon liquefied and dripped down. The body that had been rotting from the poison instantly regained its life.

【 Let’s go······and deal with the humans over there first······. 】

【If we leave, only those who want to kill the wise man will remain here.】

Kkeuggeuk-

The tone became cold. The corners of Bahal’s mouth twisted strangely.

Inside Bahal’s gaping throat, pulsating organs were visible. Wheeze- Bahal, who was licking the organs and relishing the blood and flesh, turned his head to one side and smiled.

【 Judging by the fact that the commotion isn’t ending, the Cat King isn’t dead yet. Since you guys aren’t getting tired, the four of you should just hold them off. 】

Even if humans burn with fighting spirit, it is not difficult to stop them. Since there is no guarantee that infection will not occur forever, Bahal acted as if nothing happened.

but.

The jar tilted its head and spread its fingers.

【 One, two, three······ We are three now······. 】

【 What, where the hell is that girl running wild again— 】

···thud.

【 ? 】

And then suddenly, a small noise broke into their conversation.

It was a noise like a thick wall collapsing. Soon, a circular wave of energy extended from inside and tickled the skin of the corpses. At that, Bahal’s eyebrows twitched greatly, and Jargi and Sachuksan turned their heads in that direction.

A thick, translucent curtain of magical power was being lifted.

······Thud. Thud.

Soon, two bloody men came out swinging their swords, walking nonchalantly across the pool of blood.

— Huh? No, bro! It’s over already?

It was Revan and Kaso Pon who fought the corpse of the red eye.

however-

One of Revan’s hands was heavy as he stepped out of the translucent curtain. Revan drew the light and lightly tossed it away.

Iron fist······

Something that was thrown away helplessly and fell to the floor.

Pale flesh shards rolled over and over again, soaked in thick blood. The tentacles, like optic nerves, were soaked in blood. The long bones that stretched out like white whips were gone, but one could still make out some distinct features.

The original was badly damaged, and the cross-sections were almost completely crushed, giving an idea of ​​how violent the final struggle must have been.

The guy’s eyes, which were as red as blood, had lost their color.

【 ······kite? 】

In that moment, Bahal’s face distorted horribly. His comrade had been shot at the center of the expedition from the start of the battle.

Food wheel, bahal, four-wheel drive, jar, lotus.

One of the high ranking officials who had arrived here to lead the renegade sage to the front of inspiration had already died in vain.

And that, at most, in the hands of two humans.

Black magic flowed out from Bahal’s entire body. Everyone in the battlefield held their breath.

Phew—

Kaso Pon appeared after killing the corpse of Red Eyes. He stuck his greatsword into the blood-soaked ground and spoke.

“If I had known there was no infection, I would have been fine on my own from the beginning.”

Next.

“Why aren’t we fighting and just being friendly here?”

Revan added a word while looking around the expedition team facing the corpses. As he did so, Revan stabbed something like a tree branch into his back, and Bahal sensed that it was continuously emitting strange waves. If it was Yeon’s power, there was no way he would die this quickly-

【······.】

However, even if we now found the cause, there was no way to bring back the dead body.

Excluding Shikryun, whose battle with the Cat King is prolonged, there are three people left on this side.

···It was a moment when the situation, which had been unfavorable to humanity, turned around in the blink of an eye.
