Chapter 92: Misty Forest (2)

 

The myth of Dangun.

It was a story from 5,000 years ago.

 

‘Well, it’s not like I’m actually 5,000 years old, so it doesn’t mean much…’

 

At least I could seize the initiative, couldn’t I?

I smiled crookedly.

 

“So what? I’m at least 5,000 years old here.”

【…?】

“Do you know what ‘Hongik Ingan’ means?”

【What nonsense are you… Kuk!】

 

I thrust my sword once again.

 

Swoosh, clang!

 

However, the Lord raised his arm and cast telekinesis. My sword stopped right in front of his nose.

 

‘800 years.’

 

Experience becomes an important variable in battle.

Even with lower stats, a being who had lived for 800 years like the Lord could potentially transcend the laws of stats.

 

“Oh, right. Must be nice being so old.”

 

But what did any of that matter?

 

I would take the head of the monster standing before me.

 

Even if it proved to be a difficult task. Nothing else mattered besides that goal.

 

‘…Should I use my head a bit?’

 

I felt the flow of mana and swung my sword once more.

 

“Lightning Flash.”

 

It was slower than before. I deliberately reduced the speed of the lightning, gradually advancing toward the Lord’s wrist.

 

【Haha. Are you already running out of strength?!】

 

The Lord didn’t notice my act. He simply waved his hand to activate telekinesis.

 

Whooom—

 

Halt.

The advancing Spirit General Sword stopped once again. If it were earlier, I would have quickly withdrawn the sword and thrust it forward rapidly again.

 

Clang.

 

I applied force and pressed the Spirit General Sword down. The Lord’s surprised face showed as he strengthened his telekinesis, but it wasn’t enough.

 

‘It was originally magic designed to counter fast attacks.’

 

Its defensive power was bound to be thin. Soon, cracks appeared in the transparent barrier.

 

Crack. Clang!

 

The Lord frowned as if frustrated.

 

【Do you think you can gain the upper hand with mere tricks?】

 

The Lord immediately cast a skill. Piles of dirt and stone fragments scattered throughout the forest all rose into the air at once.

I wore a mocking smile.

 

“I wonder. What have you been doing for 800 years? Managing territory? Trimming garden trees with telekinetic force…”

 

I could see the Lord’s brow furrow even more at my words.

 

【Shut up!】

“Your skills seem pretty poor. I saw the garden earlier, and it wasn’t very pretty. Unfortunately.”

 

Whooosh!

 

The stone fragments flew at high speed. The annoying thing about telekinetic force was that you couldn’t see the trajectory of the skill.

 

‘I have no choice but to dodge by instinct…’

 

I lowered my body and avoided a stone fragment that was about to embed itself in my eye.

However, the fragments changed course and flew toward my back.

 

“Kuk.”

 

The shoulder that had been cut earlier was scraped again. The fabric of my combat suit tore, and blood seeped out.

 

‘I’ll have to get it repaired…’

 

I didn’t even get my shaman robes dry-cleaned because of the cost. This is really…

 

【It would be best to surrender quietly. My patience isn’t very long.】

 

As I got injured, the Lord’s momentum rose. It extended one hand and grasped at the air.

 

“Wait, urk…!”

 

I felt an invisible force wrapping around my body. The Lord had caught me using telekinetic force. My feet rose about 5 centimeters off the ground.

 

‘This… experiencing it firsthand feels worse than I thought…’

 

I offered a sincere apology to Nam Jae-yoon, who would have no memory of this.

 

【You’ll be caught this quickly anyway. Using such shallow tricks… Nothing changes, so why struggle so much, tsk.】

 

The Lord clicked his tongue while looking at me bound in restraints. I struck at the telekinesis with my elbow, struggling desperately to break free.

Seeing me like this, it smiled with strange amusement.

 

【Spouting nonsense about five thousand years or whatever, and now it’s finally over!】

 

The Lord clenched his fist even tighter. My breathing gradually became labored, but true to his intention not to leave any ‘scratches,’ the pressure wasn’t enough to threaten my life.

I took small deep breaths and waited for the right moment.

 

“Cough, ah… You’ve been handling magic for 800 years, they say. Impressive.”

【…What are you scheming?】

“No, no. I’m being sincere.”

 

The Lord’s eyebrows twitched. His face showed distrust.

He’s no fool after all. I held back the nausea that threatened to rise from just one compliment.

Then I simultaneously whispered to the Thunder God in my mind.

 

‘Divine Spirit.’

| What are you trying to do? Why did you deliberately get captured?! |

‘Oh, you noticed?’

| Don’t think you can fool my eyes. Under thunder’s gaze, everything is clearly visible. |

‘Divine Spirit, your age hasn’t been wasted…’

 

It seems that old elf doesn’t know.

 

‘Divine Spirit. Let’s reduce the range a bit. Instead, increase the power.’

| Hmm. Not a bad idea, but it might be difficult to maintain accuracy. |

‘If we cast it widely, other people will get hurt.’

| That’s true as well. |

‘And lastly…’

 

I finished conveying the final plan.

With this, the framework was set. Now the outcome would depend on how we acted.

I twisted my body and continued speaking.

 

“Impressive, truly impressive. But separately from that, there’s one thing you don’t know.”

【Nonsense. There’s nothing I haven’t experienced in my lifetime. With your mere few decades of short life, you talk too much. Hey! Can’t you hear me! Bring out the sacrifice!】

“That’s exactly the point…”

 

The Lord shouted toward the outside of the fog. I chuckled and shook my head.

 

“Do you know what mistake people make most often as they get older?”

【…?】

“They mistakenly think they’ve already experienced everything. In other words, they become arrogant.”

 

‘Good. His attention is focused on holding me with telekinesis… It won’t be easy to escape quickly.’

 

To execute the plan, the Lord’s movement needed to be restricted.

I briefly sent a signal to Jisan-guk, then raised my chin. Soon a twisted smile faced the Lord’s glowing eyes.

 

“I’m sure you’ve never experienced anything like this.”

 

Whiiiii—

 

Changes gradually began occurring in the fog surrounding us.

The white sea fog spun in place as if dancing. The fog gathered in the air, forming a single shape.

 

Rummmmmble—

 

It was a rain cloud. A gray rain cloud was forming above the Lord’s head.

 

“I wonder if it’ll rain here too…”

 

Murmur.

I muttered like that.

 

“Storm Lightning.”

 

The sky began to convulse.

Fog and clouds, thunder and lightning. The sight of all these elements combining and swirling together was truly like a disaster.

 

Krrrrrumble—

Kwaaaaang!

 

Lightning struck down from the rain cloud.

 

【Kuk, kraaaaak!】

 

The Lord raised his arms to cover his head. A transparent telekinetic barrier spread above him.

But an umbrella cannot stop a storm.

 

Plip.

Plip plip.

 

Raindrops falling one by one began breaking through the Lord’s barrier. Cracks appeared in the barrier, and it didn’t take long for it to completely shatter.

Soon after, torrential rain struck along with the lightning.

 

Shaaaaaaa—

 

It wasn’t just rain. It was divine punishment where each drop became a blade cutting through flesh.

Before a disaster that a god poured down with determination. There was nothing a mere lowly creature could do.

 

【What is this…! Kuk, ugh! Look at this! Are there no reinforcements!】

 

The Lord’s face was torn apart. Water streams pouring down from the sky constricted and bound the monster’s entire body. There was no escape.

 

【Reinforcements, the troops…!】

 

The Lord cried out desperately. However, after frantically looking around, the Lord’s face turned hollow.

 

【Ah…】

 

Crack.

 

I twisted my body and escaped from the telekinetic grip. Setting my feet on the floor, I rubbed my stiff shoulders.

 

“How is it?”

【…】

“Something you’ve never experienced before, right?”

 

In the surroundings where the fog had lifted, there was nothing. That is, the ones the Lord had hoped for.

 

【This can’t be. Why…】

 

All the Elf Knights were incapacitated. They had been completely wiped out by Red Dog’s 2nd Unit, Choi Yu-il, and Baek Kyul.

Broken and snapped spears were stuck in the ground, with purple blood pooled beneath them.

 

‘It was an inevitable result.’

 

If the attacking force had been just Choi Yu-il alone, it probably would have been difficult.

However, once Red Dog’s 2nd Unit joined in, the fate of the Knight Order that barely exceeded B-rank was sealed.

 

‘Their skills are really good.’

 

Still, I didn’t expect it to end this quickly… Saving Red Dog was a good decision in many ways.

I shrugged my shoulders and approached the Lord.

 

“Now, how do you feel?”

【Don’t tell me… you discovered even them underground? How is this! What kind of nonsense is this! Surely there were no mistakes in the strategy, cough, cough…!】

“It must be hard to speak, so don’t strain yourself.”

 

I bent my knees and met eyes with the fallen Lord. The Lord raised his blood-covered face.

 

【Don’t look at me with that face. What, do you think we see you any differently? You’re mistaken too, haha!】

“…”

【It’s all the same. All of you that I’ve seen are exactly the same. The mentality of setting traps and trying to take what you want is everywhere… cough, isn’t it spread all around! Blaming only us is sophistry, sophistry…】

 

I drove the Spirit General Sword into the ground.

 

Thwack.

 

The Lord flinched at the sword blade that was driven right in front of his nose. I gripped the sword’s handle and spoke quietly.

 

“How pitiful.”

【…】

“Where have you been seeing only those kinds of bastards?”

 

Whoosh. When I blew air from my mouth, my bangs rose and fell back down.

 

“…Many people come to the Shaman House. You’re right that the guys you mentioned are everywhere. Bastards driven only by desire. Sometimes they don’t hesitate to lie. I get really sick of seeing those bastards too.”

 

I soon straightened my knees and stood up. I pulled out the Spirit General Sword I had driven in and brought the blade to the Lord’s nape.

 

“But usually.”

【Ugh…】

“Health, success, love, luck. You know, things like that. Trivial, good things. Most people who come are seeking such things.”

 

Slice.

 

The sword blade dug an inch into the Lord’s skin.

 

“Good still prevails on this side.”

【Wait, wait! Are you really going to kill me like this…】

“And you’re mistaken again.”

 

Swish.

 

My hand didn’t stop. The Spirit General Sword’s blade dug another inch into the Lord’s nape.

 

“In the end, those bastards get punished on our side too.”

 

I muttered with an emotionless face. The Lord’s face grew increasingly pale.

 

Drip.

Drip.

 

Purple blood was counting the seconds to death.
