Chapter 183: Beyond Raid (3)
Danggumak was handling business in the TJ Group Chairman’s Office.
He had finished touring the factories and inspecting the facilities, and had also reviewed the new drug recipes and pointed out areas that needed improvement.
Honestly, there was hardly any part that required his involvement.
The pharmaceutical sectors of Gangho Murim and Earth had completely different approaches.
The Dang Clan’s manufacturing system produced high-quality elixirs through the skilled craftsmanship of experienced artisans, but Earth’s system was focused on mass production.
‘Enchant magical engineering might be helpful.’
However, his learning achievements were still too low to offer any particular advice.
Maybe if Gwi-gok and Gal Hong came over.
But if there was something that came to mind…
‘Should I have brought the Immortal Medicine Cauldron?’
Taesang Nogoon’s treasure.
An iron cauldron that extracted and refined the essence of medicines to enhance their efficacy, and could automatically produce medicines for mass production.
He had borrowed it from Taesang Nogoon in the Immortal Realm to create an energy source for the mirror dimensional gate, a fake wish-fulfilling orb.
‘To send it to Earth, I’d need to make a deal…’
He would definitely sell it.
As long as a reasonable price was offered.
Taesang Nogoon was so immersed in Earth culture that he gave up his position as the Immortal Realm’s representative.
You could tell by how he released his Immortal Crane that he used to ride and purchased a mid-size sedan with a huge amount of coins to drive around.
‘Should I take a break now?’
Danggumak searched on his smartphone for what was currently the biggest issue in Samhan.
While browsing around, he entered a news ranking site.
【YouTube Sahara Grassland Gate Monster Raid Video Breaks 2 Billion Views in Record Time.】
【Who is the Old Man? Likely to be a Soul Connector.】
【Some Claim Possible Manipulation, Advanced Camera Work Like Filming a Movie as Evidence.】
【But What About the Live Broadcast and Numerous Real Witnesses? Claims It’s Absolutely Not Manipulation.】
‘Traces left by the Swordsman.’
2 billion views meant nearly half of Earth’s population had seen the Swordsman’s face.
‘Tsk, I don’t like it.’
Earth’s strongest?
What nonsense.
‘How dare they, with our Tae-ju around…’
How arrogant would the Swordsman become if he knew this fact?
Moreover.
【Actress Lee Yun-mi Shockingly Reveals on Variety Show That She Has a Crush on an Ordinary Man Named Do-bin.】
【Says the Reason for Appearing on the Show Was to Find That Person, Pleads for Him to Contact Her If He Watches This Broadcast】
Do-bin was the alias the Swordsman used when he underwent rejuvenation.
‘Tsk tsk tsk, an Immortal with no sense of propriety.’
Going around leaving traces everywhere.
I can’t let this happen twice.
If he came to Earth one more time, I couldn’t even imagine what kind of trouble he’d cause.
Suddenly!
Knock knock.
A knock was heard.
“Vice Chairman.”
Danggumak’s official title was Vice Chairman of TJ Group.
“Oh! Come in, Mr. Baek.”
“It’s time for the train.”
“Is it?”
“Your entourage…”
“No, I hate complicated things, so I’ll go quietly by myself.”
“Yes, understood.”
Today he was planning to take the train to New Seoul.
Could he just work all the time?
Having fun was important too.
Like the Swordsman did, preferably in the biggest city.
He planned to have fun befitting his status.
As an Immortal of the Immortal Realm?
What a joke.
What dignity did Immortals have?
He had given up on such things long ago.
He was the Vice Chairman of TJ Group.
He planned to act according to that position.
If he carelessly caused damage to the company, it would be like tarnishing Tae-ju’s reputation.
* * *
In fact, the Twin-headed Demon Dragon was already dead when it hit the ground.
Hidden weapons aside, there was no way it could overcome the deadly poison combined by Toxic Spirit and the divine energy of immortal qi.
Whiriririk!
Tae-ju collected all the hidden weapons from the body that had become like a porcupine.
Then he sliced open its belly with Manribibeom.
Riiiiip!
Then a massive Beyond Elite mana crystal embedded in its heart revealed itself.
It was a round sphere.
And its colors were so brilliantly varied.
Its size was slightly larger than a gym ball used in fitness centers.
“Oh, incredible!”
“I-is this a Beyond Elite crystal?”
The Emperor and Geum Su-ho, who had rushed over breathlessly, examined the Beyond crystal while sharing their impressions.
“It’s my first time seeing one.”
“Me too. Who wouldn’t it be their first time? Except for Chairman Kim.”
“It’s b-big and beautiful.”
“I can’t even gauge how much energy it contains.”
“If we made an elixir with this and consumed it…”
“Tsk tsk, don’t be greedy, is it yours? That’s why your hairline keeps receding.”
“When did I get greedy! And I’ve been using hair growth treatment, so it’s full now.”
After letting them look for a while.
“Have you seen enough?”
“We’ve had our fill of looking.”
Swoosh!
He put it into Infinite Space and… the rest?
‘I hope there are other byproducts worth taking.’
The scales seemed unusable for now.
They were a mess, pierced and broken by the Dark Steel Ingots and Death-Seeking Flying Daggers.
‘Are there any that could be used as medicinal ingredients?’
It was a frog-type monster.
It might contain poison.
So he dipped his finger in its bodily fluids to taste them.
‘Hmm.’
However, he couldn’t sense any toxicity or medicinal properties.
‘Let’s leave it.’
One Beyond crystal was all they needed.
“Did anyone activate their protective charms?”
“…We just extracted crystals from behind. Didn’t do anything else.”
“Haha, then let’s rest a bit before moving to the next location.”
“Huh?”
The Emperor and Geum Su-ho asked in surprise.
“You’re saying we should just leave the Beyond corpse behind?”
“It doesn’t seem particularly necessary….”
“Then may we take it?”
“Go ahead.”
“Ohhh, ah, understood. Give us a moment. We have various things to do.”
“Take your time.”
Tae-ju moved away from the twin-headed dragon corpse and petted the head of Ilisambaeyi, who had transformed into a cat.
“Good work.”
“Purrrrr….”
“…You’re a cat right now.”
“Meow?”
Are you a contrarian? Going back and forth.
“Meowwww.”
Meanwhile, the Emperor and Geum Su-ho moved busily.
Though hardly any of the twin-headed dragon’s scales were intact, they plucked out only the ones in good condition.
They also cut off the large claws.
If they processed the scales and claws to craft armor and weapons, they could become the finest equipment.
“This should be enough, shouldn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s sufficient. Now let’s begin in earnest.”
There was more to do besides collecting byproducts.
Now let’s die here.
The moment to fake their deaths had come.
“Take out what you brought.”
“Yes.”
Geum Su-ho pulled out two red blood packs from his subspace bag.
Blood they had drawn beforehand.
They had drawn quite a lot.
First, they tore parts of their clothes into pieces.
Rip, rip! Tear!
The Emperor did exactly the same as Geum Su-ho.
Sleeves and hems, trouser legs… they smeared blood evenly.
They took off one shoe and smeared it there too, sprinkled the rest on the ground, and soaked their hands thoroughly.
Zing! Ziiing!
The Emperor and Geum Su-ho each drew their swords and infused them with energy.
Not the fine swords they received from Tae-ju, but the swords they had carried before.
Then they climbed onto the dead twin-headed dragon and repeatedly slashed at it.
Using their skills to cut and slash… then drove their swords up to the hilts into the head and body.
They also scattered the blood-stained cloth pieces widely around the twin-headed dragon corpse.
They dropped one shoe here and there, and scattered various personal items at intervals.
“That should do it.”
“I’ll send the signal.”
Finally, Geum Su-ho used his blood-stained hands to pull out his satellite smartphone.
He pressed the emergency rescue signal button and threw it on the ground.
Soon the SOS signal would be transmitted to the Imperial Intelligence Agency and Imperial Forces leadership.
“Do you think they’ll believe it?”
“They’ll have to believe it. We didn’t fight some ordinary monster, but a Beyond Elite twin-headed dragon.”
“True….”
“We fought the twin-headed dragon and both sides were destroyed. That’s what they’ll have to think.”
At the earliest today, at the latest tomorrow, a rescue team would be dispatched to this location.
They would collect the blood-stained cloth pieces and smartphone scattered in advance, and the forensic laboratory would examine them based on that.
The blood was theirs, the swords embedded in the corpse were their swords, the satellite smartphone too… plus fingerprints were stamped everywhere.
Naturally, they would have no choice but to believe it.
“Chairman Kim, where shall we hunt next?”
“Let’s head southwest.”
“Understood. Let’s run there quickly.”
Why run when it’s difficult?
Tae-ju pulled out Manribibeom and floated it in the air before climbing on.
“…Huh.”
“Wh-what?”
“Come on, each of you grab one of my hands.”
“C-can’t we just run there?”
“Quickly.”
“Hmm.”
Grab!
Holding hands.
Whoooooosh!
The Emperor in one hand, Geum Su-ho in the other.
They flew like a beam of light.
“Ugh!”
“I’m, I’m falling.”
“…Ab-absolutely don’t let go!”
The recovery of the old Chinese territory was right before their eyes.
Once they finished dealing with all the Beyond, it would be over.
‘Should I establish a country here?’
But for Tae-ju, directly governing would be bothersome.
‘Or I could keep it as Samhan Empire territory and transfer the land ownership to personal property….’
He would become the world’s greatest landowner.
Tae-ju thought it wasn’t a bad idea.
* * *
Heavenly Realm.
The Dragon King led his Dragon Palace subjects and dragon clan across to the Heavenly Realm.
Yama had opened the door, allowing them to come easily without going through ascension.
Swordsman had also apologized, and there were recommendations from Yama and Sangje.
So he pretended to be unable to refuse.
To be honest, the Dragon King was also curious.
The Heavenly Realm, Cheon-gye, Hwangcheon-gye, and all.
Why the upper realm beings were so fascinated by the culture of other worlds.
But until now, he had only pretended not to know.
Because at the previous upper realm grand assembly, he alone had raised objections.
He had scolded the Immortals for being obsessed with worldly material desires and argued that Dok-seon, who disrupted order, should be severely punished.
He hadn’t attended the next upper realm grand assembly either.
But what is all this?
It was indeed worth boasting about.
“What on earth are those chaotic contraptions…?”
“These are amusement rides. Look closely, Dragon King. Don’t the celestials look happy?”
“…Hmm, well, I suppose they do.”
Though he said that, the Dragon King smiled warmly as he watched the celestials playing joyfully.
‘The world has truly changed beyond recognition…’
When did the Immortal Realm change like this?
Roads laid everywhere, celestials and immortals riding small vehicles on those roads, various amusement rides, tall buildings erected in the distance, shops selling drinks and snacks.
Monkeys were also wandering around.
‘Hmm, those are clones of Jecheon Daeseong.’
They were wearing vests with “Delivery Immortal Realm” written on them.
‘Delivery, my goodness, how ridiculous.’
The Swordsman bowed and spoke to the Dragon King.
“Let me guide you to the multiplex first.”
“Mul, multi? What’s that?”
“It’s the first step of the full course. You’ll like it.”
As always, the full course began with theater viewing.
Learning about Earth’s culture and customs came first.
Only then would they know what was good.
Since Galhong Immortal had set up a thousand-li divine communication spell formation, language barriers weren’t a problem.
Watching movies and dramas would gradually influence them.
They’d want to try the food that appeared, want to drink alcohol, and become curious about various appliances, smartphones, cars, and everything else.
After guiding the Dragon King’s party to the multiplex screening room, the Swordsman gathered the immortals.
“You must never provoke them. Even if they act unreasonably, endure it.”
“Don’t worry. How much trouble can dragon youngsters and fish cause?”
“Since they’ve entered the theater, let’s serve them popcorn and cola.”
“For free?”
“It’s just bait. The price isn’t much anyway.”
“Right. We need to hook them. Provide small things as service, charge money for big things.”
“Hehehe, they’ll end up selling their dragon orbs anyway.”
Then he called Mi-ho Seon-ja from Palace of Peach Blossoms who had come to visit the Immortal Realm.
“Fox, go into the screening room and serve cola, popcorn, and snacks to the Dragon King and his party.”
“…Why should I?”
“Tsk tsk, it’s not like you don’t know what we’re doing. Don’t you want to go to Earth?”
“Will I get a chance too?”
“…You might.”
“Hmph! How can I not feel excited about this? And they smell fishy. I don’t even want to get close.”
The Swordsman rummaged in his pocket and pulled something out.
“I’ll give you this as payment.”
“…What is it?”
“A smartphone case and charm doll, bought directly from Earth.”
“Hmm.”
After thinking for a moment, Mi-ho finally nodded.
“Fine.”
“Hehe, good, and don’t frown saying they smell fishy!”
“I’ll try to endure it.”
“Ah! Leave out the grilled squid with butter and takoyaki with octopus. They might get angry.”
What would the Dragon Palace folks’ reaction be?
Like country bumpkins who just came up to New Seoul, their eyes would probably roll around frantically.
Actually, once they entered the screening room, the dragon orbs were as good as half-obtained.
Soon the gate to Earth would open.
A bigger, longer-lasting gate.
The Swordsman believed it without doubt.
* * *
After Tae-ju’s party left, only the corpse of the twin-headed dragon remained like a massive mountain.
As the aura of the Beyond Elite monster disappeared, the monsters in the surrounding area began to slowly gather.
Suddenly!
Thut-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
The sound of aircraft from the distant sky.
It was a VT-23 Neospree, a tiltrotor vertical takeoff and landing transport aircraft owned by the Samhan Empire’s air force.
Whooom!
As the transport aircraft landed vertically on the flat ground.
“Get down quickly! Combat team clear the monsters first, search teams find the signal! Finish before more monsters gather.”
They were the Empire’s elite Awakened soldiers.
There were plenty of Masters too.
The awakened officer soldiers quickly ran toward where the twin-headed dragon lay dead.
However.
“…Ah!”
“Huk!”
“Damn!”
They ended up discovering them.
Bloodstained clothing that appeared to belong to His Majesty and Gold Secretary, a smartphone, and swords stuck in the head and body parts of the twin-headed dragon.
But there was nothing else besides that.
Only traces left by monsters.
“Th, there was n, no one around.”
“Damn it all!”
The Imperial Forces commander sighed.
“Are you filming?”
“Yes.”
“…First, carefully collect all the clothing fragments, weapons, and smartphone without contamination.”
“Understood.”
Emergency orders from above.
VVIP rescue operation.
At first they didn’t know who it was, but later they found out.
That the VVIP was His Majesty the Emperor.
No, why was someone who was supposed to be on vacation in a Beyond Elite Monster’s Domain?
‘It wasn’t a vacation, he went hunting.’
He couldn’t understand it at all.
Why did the two of them do such dangerous things…
Anyway, it seemed certain they died in fierce battle with the Beyond twin-headed dragon.
‘Phew…’
This was big trouble.
His Majesty the Emperor and Secretary Geum Su-ho died?
The two pillars supporting Samhan?
What to do.
The Empire’s future had become bleak.
What was certain was that this incident would turn the Samhan Empire upside down.
He couldn’t even imagine what kind of results would emerge.
