The Broken Ranker

Devours Myths

Chapter 248

Sata Wang (11)

Whoooosh-

Lee Hyeon was stealthily moving to another location while leaving the battlefield.

To be precise, to another dungeon.

[Using Steps of Eoduksini to move with quiet footsteps.]

[Using ‘Sacred Relic: Yarhibol’s Ember’ to quickly move to the destination!]

[Moving to the area of ‘Dungeon: Malakbel’s Occupied Territory’!]

[Moving to ‘Dungeon: Azzu’s Night View’…]

…

The place where Feng Jinghao had hidden Xuanzang Tripitaka wasn’t very far away.

‘The place where Feng Jinghao gathered a large number of Mains from the Saha World in preparation for any emergency.’

It seemed that Feng Jinghao was planning to flee immediately if the battle situation turned unfavorable.

Judging by how he secured an escape route not far away.

Well, he would have done the same.

The Jade Emperor versus Son Wukong & Bull Demon King.

The Heavenly Court versus the Seven Great Sages.

Depending on the circumstances, there was a possibility that the former could lose.

The problem was,

‘He probably never thought he would be the first one to fall.’

Or even if he had considered it, he probably thought he could easily escape by using Xuanzang Tripitaka as a hostage.

But there was a secret about Lee Hyeon that Feng Jinghao didn’t know at all.

Noeancheongjeong.

The fact that these two eyes, created by combining Fiery Eyes and Honyaosan, also possessed psychometric characteristics.

Thanks to this, Lee Hyeon could secretly pursue the enemy from behind.

A place where there might be key figures of the Saha World, or individuals related to the Dark Side of the Moon.

Moreover,

[Son Wukong has succeeded in reclaiming the fifth character!]

[Part of the myth is fully transmitted to you, the Chosen One. The narrative of the Heavenly Dokkaebi is strengthened.]

[Your status has risen.]

[Your status has risen.]

[All stats have increased by 5.]

…

[The 3rd Awakening is not far away.]

Even the messages that suddenly appeared.

Crack! Creak!

Lee Hyeon could feel his body and soul undergoing great changes once again, just like when Son Wukong reclaimed his fourth character.

‘The Great Sage can now reclaim his myth on his own!’

For Lee Hyeon, this was a very pleasant moment.

‘Probably his status has accumulated enough, and his sworn brothers have gathered enough to meet the conditions. The fact that the Great Sage can now become stronger on his own means that my growth rate will naturally accelerate…!’

He and Son Wukong had a relationship with a cyclical feedback loop.

The more Son Wukong’s status rose, the faster his own development speed became.

And this would be no different for the Seven Great Sages and Three Law Kings who shared the myth of Journey to the West.

Xuanzang Tripitaka would also be strongly affected.

Sure enough.

Whoooosh!!

[You are approaching the destination.]

‘Almost there.’

Lee Hyeon opened his eyes wide and took out Dueokshin’s front tooth to cut through space.

Riiip!!

Then a new space appeared.

A place where various flower petals swayed in the gentle breeze.

The moment Lee Hyeon leaped into the different subspace,

[Agribor looks at you with puffed cheeks.]

“…!?”

Startled.

Lee Hyeon’s eyes widened at the message that suddenly filled the center of his vision.

Agribor.

The moon god, twin of the sun god Yarhibol.

[Agribor glares from afar at the person who messed up his garden and slipped away all by himself.]

Lee Hyeon thought ‘oh no’ for a moment.

“Lord Agribor, it’s not like that…”

[Agribor is startled to belatedly realize that his inner thoughts went out as a message.]

[Agribor hurriedly hides behind a nearby crescent moon and timidly watches you while peeking out his face.]

[Agribor fidgets with the hem of his long robe with his fingers and carefully protests.]

[Agribor quietly grumbles that gardens aren’t supposed to be used like that.]

[Agribor’s eyes well up with tears, saying he thought you were someone grateful for finding his twin brother’s sacred relic, but he didn’t expect this.]

[The flower petals around the garden close dejectedly.]

[The moon hanging in the dungeon’s sky glows slightly reddish.]

Messages that kept pouring out.

Lee Hyeon scratched his cheek with an awkward expression.

It seemed like he had gotten on the wrong side of a god, and the owner of the dungeon at that.

So apologizing would be the proper course of action,

‘…But he’s too cute. Was he always like this? I don’t think he was like this in previous messages.’

Having such thoughts might be an irreverent(?) attitude.

But Agribor’s reactions really went beyond Lee Hyeon’s common sense.

Usually, the gods he knew would be furious at times like this and try to bring down divine punishment.

But Agribor’s reaction was like a sulking rabbit.

[Agribor is flustered by your lack of response for a moment.]

[Agribor looks at you with cautious eyes, worried that you might have been hurt by his complaints.]

[Agribor timidly observes your reaction.]

[Yarhibol looks at his twin younger sibling pathetically from afar.]

It was just when he was about to say something to Agribor.

[Combat Sense (SS) warns of danger!]

“…!”

Lee Hyeon hastily canceled his Stealth and threw his body outward.

Kwaang! Kwang!!

Two massive pillars of light crashed down where he had been standing.

[Eumpoong Daeje attempts to manifest!]

[Noegong manifests!]

“…How dare a mere human read my presence?”

“Pahahahaha! Didn’t I tell you! You can’t catch that kid so easily! There’s a reason I’ve had my eye on him as a new apostle for so long.”

[Agribor is startled and hides behind the Back Gate again.]

[Agribor musters courage to ask them not to destroy his Garden any further.]

[Yarhibol clicks his tongue, looking at his pathetic twin brother, saying who would hear him if he speaks so quietly.]

[Yarhibol crosses his arms and watches the confrontation between you and the other two gods.]

Kurrrr-

Faces revealed through the rough dust clouds.

Lee Hyeon swallowed dry saliva as he drew Dueokshin’s molar from Kibisis, and with his left hand wrapped the Ruyi Jingu Bang around it several times, hooking it to the end of the molar’s handle.

Click!

It seemed rescuing Xuanzang Tripitaka here wouldn’t be easy.

‘I thought it was going too smoothly.’

Eumpoong Daeje and Noegong.

Both gods had bad blood with Lee Hyeon.

They were the ones who had each lost face to Lee Hyeon.

[Agribor says in a trembling voice that the flowers in this Garden are ones he painstakingly collected over 100 years traveling around the world, so please be careful….]

Kwaaaaaa!!

At that moment, Eumpoong Daeje stepped toward Lee Hyeon.

“You won’t get a chance to make that human your apostle.”

Then pitch-black winds of death spread in gusts, and all the flowers and trees in the surrounding area withered black and died.

“Because he’ll be torn to pieces by my hands before then.”

Kiiaaaaa!

Ghostly wails echoed through the air.

[Agribor screams kyaaak!]

[Yarhibol tells the twin god that if he’s going to act like that, why not go outside and fight.]

[Agribor doesn’t know what to do and stamps his feet in place.]

[Yarhibol looks at his twin god with an incredulous expression, who acts nice to others but completely ignores his own blood relative.]

Noegong chuckled from behind.

“Then who exactly am I supposed to make my apostle?”

“That doesn’t seem to be my concern.”

“How can you say something so irresponsible? I was the one who had my eye on that friend first.”

[Agribor continues to peek around at you and the two gods of 【Heavenly Religion】.]

[Yarhibol continues to look at the twin god pathetically.]

“I told you….”

“You told me, but I can’t back down either.”

Crack! Crackle!!

Noegong twisted his beak-like mouth and smiled coldly.

“If you don’t like it, you’ll have to deal with me first.”

Lightning representing Noegong spread out, shaking even the surrounding Sky. The air burned hot.

Even the arrogant Eumpoong Daeje frowned, seemingly burdened by directly clashing with Noegong.

“….”

Lee Hyeon quietly watched the conversation between Noegong and Eumpoong Daeje, as well as the messages from Agribor and Yarhibol.

‘These guys… they haven’t forgotten I’m here, have they?’

They were just chattering among themselves, leaving him—the actual center of attention—aside.

Moreover, the attitudes of Eumpoong Daeje and Noegong already seemed like they could decide Lee Hyeon’s fate themselves.

It was absurd.

[Agribor feels dizzy seeing the Garden flowers now being incinerated by fire.]

[Yarhibol asks if he’s so frustrated, why doesn’t he go out and say something himself.]

[Agribor ignores him.]

[Yarhibol trembles his fist from behind, saying he wants to punch him just once.]

“Fine. Then let’s do this.”

Eumpoong Daeje shot out even stronger winds of death, as if he wouldn’t back down either.

Kiiaaaaa!!

The winds of death and Lightning storms collided midway.

With the repulsion of opposing energies representing yin and yang respectively, the Garden was now completely ruined.

Kurung! Kurung! Kurrrr-

Kwakwakwakwa!!

Flash! Flash!

[Agribor screams and then faints backward with a thud.]

[Yarhibol catches the twin god from behind, clicking his tongue saying he really does all sorts of things.]

[Yarhibol glares this way with cold eyes.]

“How about this?”

Noegong chuckled and tilted his head to the side.

“I’ll tear that human to pieces as planned.”

“Hey, then that’s no different from before,”

“But instead, I’ll open Avīci Hell to you.”

“…Hoho?”

Noegong blinked as if completely unexpected.

Eumpoong Daeje spoke in a serious tone.

“As you know, Avīci Hell is a place where the concept of time is very different from the World of the Living. If we let him stew there for just a year or two, wouldn’t he become obedient?”

“And then you want me to take him?”

“His soul will be full of yin energy, so he’ll be suitable to make into an apostle.”

“What if he breaks in the process?”

“I’ll control that much.”

“Hahaha! Now you’re finally talking sense!”

The two laughed heartily and chattered, playing along with each other.

[Yarhibol grins at the attitude of the two gods who continue to ignore him despite feeling his gaze.]

“Then the matter is decided. Human, have you waited long?”

Crack!

Eumpoong Daeje approached while twisting his neck this way and that. Before long, a cold wind surrounded Lee Hyeon.

“After taking a long detour, we finally meet.”

[Eumpoong Daeje is revealing his presence!]

Whooooo-

Along with the presence being revealed.

Lee Hyeon felt his position becoming infinitely small, like a lantern placed before the sun.

‘They’re definitely monsters, monsters indeed. Is the distance to godhood still this far…?’

Son Wukong had grown another level after reclaiming his fifth name, and his confidence had grown accordingly.

Yet the beings called gods still seemed too vast.

Just what kind of lives were they living?

However,

‘Actually, this works out well. I was feeling uneasy about just leaving those things alone anyway. Now they’re coming to me on their own.’

Lee Hyeon found Eumpoong Daeje looked too large, but he wasn’t burdened by it.

After all, that guy was still too small compared to Son Wukong.

[You roughly exhale Heavenly Dokkaebi Thunder Breath (EX) to digest the pressure!]

Grrrrrrrr…!!

Lee Hyeon revealed his inheritance to the fullest while digesting Eumpoong Daeje’s pressure.

‘I can’t become a disciple who’s more pathetic than his master. A golden goblin has come, so I should take a few more to make it profitable, right?’

A bitter smile crossed Lee Hyeon’s lips.

His eyes were confident.

“Insolent as always, human. To dare look me properly in the eye. Do you think the name Great Sage Equal to Heaven can still protect you here?”

Eumpoong Daeje’s cold smile.

However,

Pfft.

Instead of responding, Lee Hyeon let out a laugh.

Eumpoong Daeje narrowed his eyes.

“You laugh?”

“Because it’s funny.”

“What?”

One of Eumpoong Daeje’s eyebrows twitched greatly.

In his pupils, Lee Hyeon’s figure was reflected, smiling coldly like a dokkaebi.

“I laughed because it’s funny watching loser bastards licking each other’s wounds while claiming moral victory. Why?”

“…!”

“Things that couldn’t even make a peep in front of Wukong or the other Great Sages, yet putting on airs.”

“…!!!”

Blood vessels bulged on Eumpoong Daeje’s forehead.

“Right… I had forgotten. You… your skill at scratching people’s insides with your mouth is truly world-class…!!”

Whoosh!

Eumpoong Daeje raised his hand.

A hand that had turned completely white, drained of all blood like a corpse.

“Let’s see if you can still laugh like that after being thrown into Avīci Hell.”

Just as Eumpoong Daeje was about to reach out toward him.

“I wonder. I think you’ll be the one thrown into Avīci Hell, not me?”

The moment Lee Hyeon continued to provoke Eumpoong Daeje with mockery until the end,

[Yarhibol lays the twin gods in a safe place and attempts manifestation in the mortal realm!]

Kwarrrrr!!

A thick lightning bolt fell between Lee Hyeon and Eumpoong Daeje, taking the form of a god.

“…You know what I hate most in this world?”

Where the light faded. The being with blazing red hair not only blew away the damp wind of death, but also easily caught Eumpoong Daeje’s hand that was targeting Lee Hyeon.

With brown skin and ruby-like burning eyes. A man harboring the energy of the sun that was in no way inferior to Eumpoong Daeje, Yarhibol smiled coldly.

“Being ignored by me. And the other thing is pathetic bastards who don’t know their place bullying my little brother. Got it?”

“A nameless god with no believers and almost no faith left dares to act up!!”

It wasn’t that Eumpoong Daeje hadn’t read Agribor and Yarhibol’s messages.

He had simply judged them unworthy of response as a major god.

That fact scratched at the proud Yarhibol’s insides,

“Then getting beaten to death by that nameless god would be pretty fun in its own way, huh?”

Yarhibol kicked the ground fiercely while radiating intense heat.

Kwaaaang!!

[Yarhibol and Eumpoong Daeje clash!]

Before the mighty conflict, Noegong clicked his tongue and asked Lee Hyeon.

“Don’t tell me your confidence was all because of that guy? You’re really something else.”

Noegong spread the wings on his back wide and grinned.

“But what now? That one doesn’t seem to be in a situation to help you anymore.”

“Worry about your own future. Try not to get your sacred relics stolen again.”

Noegong wondered what he meant and flinched, then belatedly realized one fact.

‘Wait! Yarhibol appeared, so why is the Heavenly Gate still…?’

[The leader of 【Daeva】, Brithra, is greatly pleased that you have finally fallen alone.]

[The demonic society 【Asura】 has decided on an envoy to send to you.]

“…!?”

Instantly, Noegong’s eyes widened at the message that filled the sky,

[Brithra attempts manifestation!]

[Mahabali attempts descent!]

“…!!”

The dragon Brithra, who devoured the world and caused great drought.

The Asura King Mahabali, ruler of the battle-crazed demonic society 【Asura】, who once achieved victory in the war against 【Deva】 according to myth.

With two major god-level figures about to appear, beings who would consider Noegong ‘and the like’ far beneath them,

“This is impossible!!”

All causality connecting the heavens and earth twisted as the Heavenly Gate began to shake violently.

Grrrrrr!

Rumble! Rumbllllle…!!!

The sky twisted in all directions, and dark clouds swirled while pouring down tremendous amounts of lightning and storms.

Before the appearance of such tremendous presence that could easily crush even Noegong’s will, who was said to control lightning,

Noegong’s face turned pale blue. Even Eumpoong Daeje, who had been fighting with Yarhibol, stared at the sky with a shocked expression.

“To see such a pathetic human, the head of the Dragon and Demon Society manifests in person!?”

As Eumpoong Daeje unconsciously let out a scream,

Clang-clang-clang-

Suddenly, the very subtle sound of metal clashing against metal could be heard.

At the same time, the Ruyi Jingu Bang suddenly appeared from behind with a whoosh.

[The Ruyi Jingu Bang targets the subject designated by Noeancheongjeong!]

Eumpoong Daeje’s face, who already had a history of being caught once before, contorted with annoyance again.

“This bastard is trying to steal our Sacred Relic again!!”
