Chapter 145
‘A sudden appearance at this time.’
Bloodrain Namchu hastily sent a communication tube.
Meanwhile, he instructed the subordinates who were with him.
“They’re heading straight this way. Prepare for collision as it’s expected.”
“Yes!”
He wasn’t talking about a collision between the ship and the island.
It was the collision expected on this island.
“You! You! You all follow me!”
“Yes!”
Bloodlust Sword was not one who relied solely on his own strength.
While his subordinates busily moved to find their positions, he went to the direction where the ship deck would likely arrive and stood there first.
‘They’re coming. I must seize the initiative.’
Standing guard at the front, he resolved himself.
He would be the first to launch an attack.
He wasn’t simply intending to swing his sword.
Why else would Blood Rain be included in his alias?
The reason was that he specialized in powerful killing techniques and could use illusion arts. By wielding his killing sword over the illusion arts he deployed, his alias became Bloodlust Sword.
Swish swish swish swish—
The Blood Rain that gave him his alias unfolds.
‘It’s Blood Rain!’
‘That thing we only heard about in stories…’
‘Ugh…’
Blood Rain so terrifying that even allies would be struck with fear fills the surroundings.
Blood Rain more viscous and vicious than what he could normally display!
At this, Bloodlust Sword rejoiced.
‘It’s going just as Ju Ma-ji-sal said!’
In truth, this island was no ordinary island.
For the Blood Rain he creates, this island’s true identity was a place where Ju Ma-ji-sal had prepared a strategy in advance.
Was that the reason?
The power of the Blood Rain he deployed soared to several times its normal strength.
‘With this much… I can adequately face anyone.’
His level was Peak Level. With this much, confidence arose that he could face even two or three Super Peak Level opponents alone.
That wasn’t all.
Despite the increased power, his control over the Blood Rain he possessed became even stronger.
He used this control in the most efficient way.
“Don’t be afraid. This Blood Rain will protect you all.”
“Yes!”
His subordinates who followed him. He took measures so that only they wouldn’t be devoured by the Blood Rain.
Normally this would be difficult.
No matter how much it was Blood Rain he created, it would always devour allies. It wasn’t for nothing that he was treated as a Martial Artist with a cruel nature.
However, now that his control had increased, it was different.
Swish swish swish swish!
“Hmm…”
“Really… it’s not attacking!”
“Different from the rumors!”
The Blood Rain he created enveloped his subordinates, yet caused no harm whatsoever.
‘Perfect!’
All those preparations were completed in less than half an hour.
As if timed to match.
Kuuuung—!
The deck of the massive ship struck the edge of the island.
* * *
A notification heard as soon as reaching the island’s edge.
[You have discovered an illusion technique.]
“Oh.”
“That thing. What’s blooming right now is an illusion technique.”
Jung Myeong and Man-am-gun reacted to this.
Admiration was clearly visible on Man-am-gun’s face.
Since illusion techniques and such were difficult to experience easily, most Murim People would fall victim without even knowing properly.
That Blood Rain ahead was visible to the eye, but the problem was what lay behind it.
“Yes. I just found out.”
“Right. Discovery is relatively easy. Physician, you know too, right? That illusion techniques that reveal themselves so easily are more dangerous.”
“I know.”
Illusion techniques originally start by hiding whether they are illusion techniques or not. Contrary to this, revealing themselves like that means.
‘They’ve sacrificed secrecy in exchange for greatly increased power.’
Proof that the power it possessed was beyond ordinary.
The problem was what kind of power it would show to devour people.
Jung Myeong immediately figured this out as well.
[You succeed in analyzing the illusion technique.]
[It’s an illusion technique created by amplifying the natural energy of the surrounding atmosphere.]
[It’s a method that continuously accumulates damage.]
“What a vicious method.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“That thing. It’s an illusion technique that amplifies natural energy to continuously drain stamina.”
Jung Myeong immediately conveyed this information.
All allies needed to know.
“What…? How do you know that? No, is it an illusion technique you already knew?”
“I could see it.”
“What… does that even mean…?”
At this, Man-am-gun let out an exclamation of surprise.
‘It’s not an illusion technique he knows, so how could he understand it without even experiencing it?’
If someone else had said it, he would have dismissed it as nonsense.
But the Jung Myeong he knew was not someone who would speak empty words.
That’s why he couldn’t help but be amazed.
Those words meant he had seen through the illusion technique immediately without even experiencing it.
“You said you gained enlightenment… is that how you acquired such skills?”
“It’s separate from that, but anyway…”
“Hmm?”
While he was being surprised by this,
there was something else truly surprising.
Gooooooo-!
Jung Myeong, who was right beside him, greatly drew up his energy.
The same energy he had shown when gaining enlightenment before.
That energy spread out to the surroundings.
‘It’s become deeper and more massive!’
The energy that even surprised Man-am-gun stretched straight up and immediately soared more than ten zhang high.
Tssssss-
“What…!”
“Such Sword Ki without even a sword!”
The soaring energy instantly took the form of Sword Ki,
Puhwaaaak-!
Before there was even time to be more surprised, it shot toward the Blood Rain created to block them.
* * *
The Sword Ki shot out.
Kwaaaaang-!
A tremendous explosion followed.
After an explosion loud enough to make their ears ring,
the massive Blood Rain also exploded in succession. The drawn natural energy responded and caused an even bigger explosion.
“Kuaaaaaaah!”
“Keoooook!”
Screams burst out endlessly from within.
Afterward, when the Blood Rain completely disappeared, the revealed scene was horrific.
With limbs severed and broken corpses scattered, soaking the ground with blood,
only one person stood up.
It was Bloodlust Sword alone.
“It’s Bloodlust Sword!”
“How is he here!”
There were those who recognized him remarkably.
The Hangzhou Martial Artists, including Wave Blade, seemed to know about Bloodlust Sword’s existence.
Indeed, since the number of Peak Level masters was limited, this wasn’t unusual.
Rather, what was unusual was his condition.
“Keuuk…”
As if he had barely endured the Blood Rain explosion, his entire body was covered with burn marks.
While he managed to endure and was still holding his sword,
anyone could see he looked ready to collapse at any moment.
Was there any need to just watch him?
“What should we do with him…”
Tuhwaaaak-!
Instead of answering, Jung Myeong swung the sword he had drawn at some point.
The manifested Sword Energy flew quickly and struck Bloodlust Sword’s neck.
The Sword Energy penetrated straight through his neck.
“!!!!”
Bloodlust Sword couldn’t even let out a scream and collapsed as he was.
It was the moment when Bloodlust Sword and the space supporting him, which Ju Ma-ji-sal had prepared with great effort, were instantly destroyed.
* * *
Jung Myeong didn’t tighten the reins he was holding to the very end.
‘Once you draw your sword, you must handle things properly.’
Enemies had to be dealt with decisively.
When showing even a trace of mercy, it was always the allies who suffered the consequences.
Knowing this better than anyone, Jung Myeong was more resolute than anyone when facing enemies.
This was one of his rules.
He commanded without a moment’s hesitation.
“Everyone, let’s go out. As you’ve already heard and know. These are all enemies. We cannot tolerate even a single survivor.”
“Yes!”
An order to kill all survivors.
Not a single person objected to it.
“Hehehe…”
Even that Gyeom Gwang-ja erased his dissatisfaction and advanced while wielding his halberd.
Jung Myeong’s enemies were already in a state of utter panic.
The vanguard that Bloodlust Sword had created through illusion techniques.
That vanguard was completely annihilated without even getting to swing their swords once.
One display of overwhelming power.
Everyone had witnessed how it tore them all to pieces.
And now they were launching an attack in this state.
“Th-they’re coming!”
“Aaaaah!”
Beyond being utterly panicked, they scattered in terror.
Those sent by Jung Myeong pursued them.
Puhwaaaaak-!
They quickly cleaned them up.
* * *
The time needed to hunt down all the remaining enemies was sufficient with just a moment.
From the moment Bloodlust Sword collapsed, this had been a foregone conclusion.
Jung Myeong paid careful attention to the very end while killing the enemies.
“What happened to the messenger pigeons?”
“We caught all five of them!”
“That’s fortunate.”
That was dealing with the communication tube that Bloodlust Sword had initially sent.
Jung Myeong, who possessed thoroughness, had arranged to deal with the messenger pigeons flying with communication tubes in order to handle him.
“There won’t be more, will there?”
“Probably no more. As soon as they tried to use the communication tubes, we secretly approached and cut them down. You know, don’t you? The enemies probably never thought the battle would end this quickly either.”
They had dealt with all the communication tubes themselves.
With this, news of Jung Myeong immediately taking over this island wouldn’t be transmitted.
However, there was something concerning.
“That is fortunate, but. Hmm…”
“Is there something that concerns you?”
“Five messenger pigeons just for communication tubes on this small island. In other words, doesn’t that mean he’s paying great attention to it.”
“You mean…”
“Even if they weren’t communication tubes sent only when something happened, they were probably sending them periodically. That’s why there were so many messenger pigeons.”
“Ah!!!”
The enemies weren’t fools either.
Especially Ju Ma-ji-sal was someone whose mind worked well.
The intention behind such a person placing so many messenger pigeons was obvious.
Even if they weren’t messenger pigeons specifically for reporting enemy appearances.
The moment the periodically coming and going messenger pigeons stopped, he would roughly sense the situation.
To summarize, it’s ultimately simple.
“In the end, it’s a race against time.”
