Episode 47

 

Episode 47

 

-Whooooooooo!!!!

 

“Ugh!”

 

The sandstorm grows even fiercer.

 

Now it’s almost like a typhoon.

 

While everyone loses their composure in the rapidly blowing wind,

 

-Thud. Thud. Thud.

 

-Thud. Thud. Thud.

 

Soldiers in formation began to march.

 

Reeking of blood with every step.

 

“Blood magic…”

 

Han Si-on mutters with disgust.

 

“What exactly is blood magic?”

 

When I ask,

 

“To put it simply, think of them as golems made by mixing the master’s blood.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“However, blood magic has no limits. Since the master created them by offering their own blood, they function terrifyingly well.”

 

“To create that many soldiers, it wouldn’t take just a drop or two of blood…”

 

“That’s right. That’s what makes it even more frightening.”

 

“…”

 

“It means they have enough power to control all those soldiers.”

 

So,

 

the very existence of those soldiers made of blood is a show of force.

 

“But they don’t have intelligence, right?”

 

“…That’s right. They only carry out their master’s commands to the end.”

 

“Then it’s much easier.”

 

Before I even finish speaking, Han Si-on looks at me with a bewildered expression.

 

“Hunter Lee Tae-pyeong, blood magic is…”

 

And just as Han Si-on was about to start a long speech about the dangers of blood magic.

 

-Clang!

 

-Clang!

 

-Clang!

 

-Clang!

 

The soldiers each draw their swords from their waists.

 

“Shall we go?”

 

Ban Hae-yeong takes the lead.

 

She immediately pulls out and grips two axes.

 

-Whoooooosh!!!

 

As soon as Ban Hae-yeong grips the axes,

 

not only the axes,

 

but Ban Hae-yeong’s entire body begins to burn red.

 

Whoa.

 

That’s incredible?

 

“First time seeing Ifrit’s blessing?”

 

She grins,

 

“Watch closely.”

 

Ban Hae-yeong bursts forward explosively fast.

 

-Crash!

 

-Crash! Thud!

 

Ban Hae-yeong swings her axes like crazy,

 

smashing the soldiers to pieces.

 

Aggro instantly focused on her.

 

All the soldiers begin to surround and attack Ban Hae-yeong.

 

-Crash!

 

-Crash!

 

Soldiers exploding like mad.

 

However, these things aren’t alive,

 

but move through blood magic,

 

so they still moved even with broken heads or limbs.

 

-Swish.

 

-Swish.

 

-Swish.

 

-Swish.

 

-Swish.

 

Choi Mu-ryeong immediately aims his sword.

 

A sleek, well-crafted

 

black sword.

 

However, what’s unusual is that

 

besides the one Choi Mu-ryeong is holding,

 

four more swords appeared behind him.

 

The black swords identical to the one Choi Mu-ryeong is holding

 

gleam with a cold edge,

 

-Slash!

 

-Clang!

 

-Stab!

 

Every time Choi Mu-ryeong swings his sword at the soldiers,

 

each of them began slashing and stabbing different soldiers.

 

That is Choi Mu-ryeong’s ability.

 

‘Sword Emperor’.

 

The power to perfectly control

 

five swords said to contain the power of stars.

 

It’s fascinating to see with my own eyes.

 

The swords move as if they’re alive.

 

-Slash!!!

 

-Crash!!!

 

While Choi Mu-ryeong and Ban Hae-yeong are active,

 

Han Si-on was also quietly preparing a spell from behind.

 

-Shiiiiine…

 

A round light rises above Han Si-on’s head.

 

It looks like an angel’s halo.

 

-Crackle…

 

-Crackle…

 

The light that had gathered above his head

 

-Zaaap!!!!!

 

instantly shot toward the soldiers.

 

Without needing to slash or stab,

 

those hit by the magic turned to powder and disappeared at once.

 

‘As expected, top-tier Hunters are impressive.’

 

Seeing the battle scene with my own two eyes,

 

I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed.

 

If I joined a party like this,

 

it would definitely be exciting to fight.

 

But….

 

‘Comfort comes first for me.’

 

As expected, I should just focus on raising my own party well.

 

-Grip.

 

I firmly grasped my crescent sword.

 

And,

 

-Slice….

 

Like cutting through butter,

 

-Slash!

 

I began slaughtering the Blood Magic Soldiers.

 

Easy.

 

Others might struggle, but

 

thanks to [Execution Eye], I could see their clear weaknesses.

 

The weakness displayed for the Blood Magic Soldiers was their dantian.

 

However, I couldn’t destroy the dantian from the start.

 

The soldiers were blocking attacks aimed at their dantian.

 

To completely destroy them,

 

I had to break all their limbs first,

 

then pierce through the dantian and shatter the core inside.

 

-Slice!

 

-Slash!

 

I ignored the clearly visible weaknesses,

 

and frantically cut off the soldiers’ limbs.

 

-Swish!

 

-Slice!

 

-Swish!

 

-Slice!

 

Almost like chopping radishes during kimchi season.

 

Even with their limbs cut off, the soldiers still moved.

 

Some of them even reattached their own severed limbs.

 

“What the hell are you doing?”

 

So, Wang Luoxin or Jin Tenhui….

 

Someone shouted angrily at me.

 

Of course,

 

I didn’t even pretend to listen.

 

Because,

 

-Thwack!!!!

 

Choi Mu-ryeong was finishing off the soldiers

 

whose limbs I had cut off one by one.

 

The dantians of soldiers crawling toward their severed limbs,

 

-Thud!

 

-Stab!

 

-Pierce!

 

Five swords pierced through them instantly.

 

Once the dantian was pierced and the core exposed,

 

-Sizzle!!!!

 

-Sizzle!!!

 

Han Si-on’s magic completely burned the cores.

 

‘They’re following right along.’

 

Everyone’s pretty smart.

 

Ban Hae-yeong gathered the soldiers with aggro,

 

I cut off the soldiers’ limbs,

 

Choi Mu-ryeong pierced their dantians,

 

and Han Si-on destroyed the cores.

 

It was clunky at first,

 

but after two or three tries, our coordination clicked perfectly,

 

-Boom!!!

 

and we were massacring the soldiers in no time.

 

Optimized task distribution!

 

Factory-style slaughter!

 

Easy, so easy.

 

This wouldn’t even count as a warm-up.

 

‘By the way….’

 

The Chinese Hunters were much slower than we expected.

 

Since they said they’d already cleared this place,

 

I thought it would be a free pass.

 

Sluggish.

 

With no task distribution at all,

 

they were just fighting individually….

 

“Tsk tsk.”

 

I found myself clicking my tongue.

 

Only on the right side that the Chinese Hunters were handling,

 

soldiers still remained.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

Choi Mu-ryeong stepped forward first.

 

Sigh.

 

Considering how cocky they were, I don’t really want to help them.

 

But it’s better to finish the job quickly.

 

‘In the end, I’m also part of the “hurry hurry” nation….’

 

I readjusted my grip on the crescent sword.

 

And quickly dashed out,

 

-Slice!

 

-Slash!

 

-Stab!

 

-Sizzle!

 

-Crack!

 

-Slash!

 

-Stab!

 

-Sizzle!

 

Efficient task distribution!

 

Easy and fast slaughter!

 

In terms of overall ratio,

 

we handled about 8 while they handled about 2.

 

Hmm.

 

Well, this isn’t even a competition.

 

There’s no need to argue about it, right?

 

“….”

 

In fact,

 

without even arguing, the Chinese hunters were already drinking potions with disgusted expressions.

 

They couldn’t help but feel it.

 

The clear difference in skill.

 

No, actually it’s not a matter of skill difference.

 

The Chinese hunters were also excellent in their individual abilities.

 

However….

 

No.

 

I’ll stop here.

 

After taking a brief rest,

 

we entered the Chinese-style Pavilion.

 

“Oh, it’s magnificent.”

 

I was just admiring how splendid the interior was.

 

But the Chinese hunters’ sharp gazes pierced through me.

 

Ah,

 

they’re really sensitive….

 

Then do well from the beginning!

 

Then you would have had the leisure to look around!

 

…I kept those thoughts to myself.

 

“Ahem.”

 

We carefully proceeded inside.

 

The splendid interior.

 

Moreover, as if people had been here just moments ago.

 

I could feel signs of life.

 

‘Strange….’

 

It felt like

 

only the ‘people’ had been removed from this place.

 

What on earth could have happened here?

 

“Be careful.”

 

Choi Mu-ryeong grabbed me.

 

“Oops.”

 

I was walking around looking here and there,

 

so I didn’t notice the floor was cracked.

 

“This is the place.”

 

Zhang Yuan-long examined the floor and muttered.

 

Then he began to move forward.

 

Following Zhang Yuan-long, we arrived at a place where

 

[Bongma Dojang]

 

there was a massive door.

 

And,

 

-Shaaaaaaak….

 

above the door,

 

snake sculptures that seemed alive were swimming around.

 

Sensing our presence,

 

a snake sculpture came down to the door handle.

 

A snake sculpture with red eyes that looked exactly like the cores

 

that had been in the Blood Magic Soldiers’ dan coiled around the door handle.

 

Then,

 

-Shaak!!!

 

the snake sculpture raised its head straight up and opened its mouth wide.

 

Looking at the sculpture, Zhang Yuan-long glanced at the Monk.

 

“Tenjin, come forward.”

 

At Zhang Yuan-long’s words, the Monk stepped forward.

 

“Offer your blood.”

 

The Monk silently rolled up his sleeve.

 

“Wait.”

 

At that moment, Choi Mu-ryeong spoke up.

 

“Didn’t we all have to offer our blood?”

 

At Choi Mu-ryeong’s words,

 

Zhang Yuan-long chuckled.

 

“That’s a method only fools would use.”

 

“The report said….”

 

“Everyone can enter the Bongma Dojang if they offer their blood. That’s what it said.”

 

“….”

 

“But the price is half of your blood.”

 

“….”

 

“If you offer blood and enter, you won’t have strength left to face the boss.”

 

“….”

 

“Do you still want to offer it?”

 

“….”

 

“The world’s 3rd rank is ultimately human just like us.”

 

Zhang Yuan-long smiled confidently.

 

“If you offer half your blood, you’ll also become weak, won’t you?”

 

“Even so, I can’t let one person bear all the suffering.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“Is there another way….”

 

“Then will you do it?”

 

Choi Mu-ryeong quietly looked at Zhang Yuan-long.

 

And just as Choi Mu-ryeong seemed to make up his mind and tried to roll up his sleeve.

 

-Swish.

 

The Monk, Tenjin, grabbed Choi Mu-ryeong’s arm and lowered it.

 

And,

 

“….”

 

Tenjin slowly shook his head as if to say it was okay.

 

As if

 

he had known this would happen.

 

Tenjin slowly approached the sculpture.

 

The sculpture, as if it had been waiting for Tenjin for a very long time,

 

-Crunch!

 

bit down hard on Tenjin’s thin arm.

 

Sharp fangs digging into flesh.

 

-Drip!

 

-Drip!

 

-Drip!

 

Soon Tenjin’s blood began to be sucked out.

 

And,

 

-Grrrrrrrrr….

 

the door slowly began to open.

 

“The door is opening!”

 

“Get in!”

 

As the door opened just wide enough for a person to pass through,

 

Zhang Yuan-long and the Chinese Hunters began rushing in.

 

Tenjin’s face turned pale in an instant.

 

His body was likewise losing its color.

 

-Mumble mumble…

 

Tenjin was chanting something.

 

‘He’s healing himself.’

 

That’s right.

 

While his blood was being drained,

 

Tenjin was enduring through self-healing.

 

But the blood was being drained much faster,

 

and in much larger quantities than expected.

 

Just how long could Tenjin hold out?

 

Would Tenjin himself be able to pass through this door?

 

If he couldn’t.

 

What would happen to Tenjin?

 

“…”

 

“…”

 

My eyes met with Choi Mu-ryeong’s.

 

It seemed I wasn’t the only one

 

thinking such thoughts.

 

“Are we really going through like this?”

 

Ban Hae-yeong asked.

 

“…The Chinese Hunters have already all gone in.”

 

At Han Si-on’s words, Choi Mu-ryeong looked at Tenjin again.

 

“What are you doing?!”

 

“Hurry up and get in here!”

 

“Are you planning to die there!”

 

From inside the door, the Chinese Hunters were shouting.

 

“…”

 

Just as Choi Mu-ryeong was about to say something.

 

-Swish.

 

I drew my crescent blade.

 

And,

 

-Thruuuust!!!!!

 

Just like that.

 

Into the head of the snake statue,

 

I plunged the sharp crescent blade.
