〈 Episode 543 〉 Sword Demon.
When the sun sets and it becomes night.
Countless people are moving quickly through the bush.
“Run quickly!”
“Prepare your display! “Don’t be distracted!”
Although each person had a different appearance, the expression on each person’s face was the same.
tension.
Their expressions were full of tension.
widely-!
The speed gradually increases.
From the sight of them wandering through the forest, it was clear that everyone was unmanned.
The uniform flutters as if being swept away. The seal there was vivid even at night.
That sentence means only one thing.
Murim Alliance.
The identities of those running through the night were warriors belonging to the Murim Alliance.
Among those who go with great tension, the man stands at the forefront.
Seodong, the deputy leader of the Biryongdae of the Guangdong branch of the Murim League, rolled his eyes.
‘Damn it.’
One hand was holding the sword handle.
By giving strength to the Danjeon, all kinds of bets are used as energy.
The energy spread and enveloped the forest.
The bet was full of power.
In order to express that level of emotion, I had to overcome a wall as a warrior.
It made me guess that Seodong’s level had passed its peak.
This means:
It meant that such a powerful person was so nervous.
‘Of course. When there are few people… !’
The current total number of people is seven.
The people brought in were all first-class warriors, not second-class, but it was still a problem.
The current staff was insufficient.
‘It’s an enemy level… .’
To catch a red monster.
Six first-class people at the peak.
Even just a few years ago, this was enough power to hunt monsters.
At the peak level, Seodong was able to slaughter the blue monster alone.
The appearance of monsters wasn’t that dangerous.
‘Damn it.’
That wasn’t the case now.
Just three years ago.
Starting with Sacheon, a new level of magic scriptures began to open.
No, it is not correct to say that it is new.
Because the level that was there in the first place just reappeared.
one.
To explain it simply, the changes that came to the world were not small at all.
“Warm up in advance! “Don’t relax!”
The warriors behind are startled by the shout and cheer up.
The warriors’ bets mix with the air and heat begins to spread.
A class that has been around for centuries and no longer exists.
Red Magyeongmun.
Doors of levels that are unfamiliar to those of today began to appear a few years ago.
Monsters that are incomparably stronger than blue monsters.
They have a membrane that blocks bets, and a grip that can crush even the body of a top martial artist.
It’s so violent that it creates havoc in the surrounding area every time it appears.
This was enough to be called another disaster.
The good news is that it is proportional to the difference from other grades.
The point is that the frequency of occurrence is significantly low.
Of course, even so, it was still a disaster because a red-level monster appeared.
Seodong raised his head.
“… Nod… !”
As I looked out into the void, my teeth ground together.
I see light.
A very red light.
That meant only one thing.
‘Just before appearing.’
It means that a monster is about to jump out of the red magic gate.
The best time to hunt it is when it just pops out of the magic gate.
A few seconds of stumbling due to not being able to adapt to a new environment.
That determined the direction of the battle.

Especially with this number of people, a straight attack is no different from the death of a dog, so we have to hunt them at the right time.
‘late.’
It is too late now.
Not only was it late to report that Ma Kyung-moon had appeared, but it took too long to prepare.
If things continue like this, monsters will jump out of the magic gate.
Then.
‘There are many private houses around.’
If you do it wrong, there will be a huge slaughter.
This is a situation that absolutely must be prevented.
‘Why?’
Even as he increased his speed, Seodong had doubts.
‘It seems like the frequency is increasing.’
For some reason, it occurs to me that the number of reports of red magic gates has been increasing in recent years.
Even in the year it was first discovered, there were at most twenty per year.
It was now spring, the start of the new year, and it was already over twenty.
It keeps increasing.
The man suddenly felt fear at a sensation that not only he but most of the swordsmen were feeling.
That moment.
Kuuuuung-!
“… !”
The man’s eyes widen as he hears a loud noise coming from across the street.
I soon bit my lip.
That sound is clear.
‘A monster has appeared.’
A roaring sound as an enemy-level monster appears.
It means that a red monster has appeared below where that light is visible.
Crackling.
Seodong bit his teeth and pulled out his sword.
Sigh-!
At the same time that Seodong drew his sword, the warriors behind him also drew their swords without hesitation.
Probably everyone had a hunch.
If I do something wrong, I could die from this.
‘… Why did the lenders disappear… !’
If there had been at least one master-level warrior, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Now, all of those people were out.
The incident in which Do Mun-gang, the Nine-Fight Red Demon, died.
It was dispatched to investigate. Since it was related to Emperor Simao, the great lord level stepped forward.
I never thought that would be a problem.
There are supposed to be two fully-ripened peaks, but we only have to do this with so many people.
‘There is no such thing as dog death.’
If I was going to retire, I should have done it earlier.
Was it a sin not to do that?
Seodong had to work hard to control his despondent heart.
It was clear that if it was left as is, it would become a devastation to the surrounding area, so it was impossible to leave it alone.
“soon… . “It has arrived.”
Seodong’s voice, which had been clear until just before, was somewhat uneasy.
“I will take the lead. “Please help me from behind.”
“Sir… !”
A military officer expresses concern at Seodong’s words.
There were no words to follow.
Everyone knew there was no other way.
Tick-!
In the end, everyone arrives at the source of light.
Seodong tightened his grip on his sword with great tension.
Ugh-! The sword body fills with black energy.
I spread the feeling far away and grasped the situation.
‘Where is it?’
This is the location where the light was clearly visible.
Then monsters will also be seen around here.
Moreover, since most red monsters are huge, it shouldn’t be that difficult to spot them.
‘what?’
Seodong had to feel something was strange.
‘Why is it so quiet?’
There is a suffocating silence.
If it’s a red grade monster, it’s normal for it to scream and tear and destroy everything.
When we arrived, the surrounding area was eerily quiet.
The problem here is that you can’t even catch the feeling.
“…”
Seodong raised his hand and made a low gesture.
It is an expression of moving forward.
The man moved forward with his presence erased. The warriors followed suit.
We moved like that for about a few minutes.
OK.
… Suddenly-!
“…?”
A low sound came from far away.
Nod… . Wood-dud-duk… Munching… !
It feels like breaking or crushing something.
Just hearing it makes me feel creepy.
Seodong, who heard the sound, felt the hair on his entire body stand up.
Tzurp… Crash.
The sound got louder as I walked.
It’s probably just around the corner.
Dudeuk-!
It was clear.
This is a sound coming from somewhere nearby, beyond the darkness.
As a result, breathing becomes rough due to tension.
My heart beat faster and I broke into a cold sweat.
Is it a red monster? Is the monster doing something?
With that thought in mind, Seodong took a trembling step forward.
“… Heh… !?”
Seodong had to swallow his breath without realizing it at the sight he saw.
Something was visible beyond the thick darkness.
Toad-duk-.
The first thing I saw was a blue eye glow.
What I saw next was a huge body.
Something with a large, flexible body was chewing on a monster with red skin.
Crackle!
Along with the sound of bones crunching, the monster’s head can be seen being crushed.
Grumble-! Blood flowed and soaked the floor.
Seeing this, Seodong’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.
Since it was in a state of unrecognizable damage, it could not be clearly identified, but from the looks of it, the shape of the eaten monster resembled that of a tiger.
‘… ‘That’s for sure.’
It is a monster that is incomparably stronger than the lower-grade blue-level monsters, and requires a warrior who has reached the peak of maturity to deal with it.
That guy was now being eaten alive right before my eyes.
If you see that there doesn’t seem to be any significant damage around you, it means that you weren’t able to resist properly.
‘What… . ‘What on earth is that?’
Something unknown is chewing on such a red monster.
It looks like a monster. I don’t know the grade.
At first glance, it appears to be blue, but if you look closely, it is closer to black.
‘… So what do you mean by a blue monster?’
That can’t be possible. Because there was no way a blue monster could do that.
Then what about that… .
Cr… .
‘this… !’
As if it had finished eating, the monster’s blue eyes turned towards the west.
Immediately, Seodong tries to apply force to the sword.
Stand tall!
“Off… !”
As soon as I met his gaze, my body stiffened.
It’s a big deal.
As it is… !
“excuse me.”
“!!”
Seodong, whose body was stiff, had to shake his head when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.
At the same time, I felt an arm wrapping around my shoulder.
Someone was wrapping Seo-dong’s shoulders as if they were holding each other’s shoulders.
“I have something to ask you.”
A high-pitched, yet slightly subdued voice.
It was the first voice I heard.
Seodong forced his stiff head to look at the other person.
The first thing I saw was.
‘Snow… ?’
There was a blue eye glow that resembled an unknown monster in front of him.
Those eyes were shining so clearly even in the dark.
It’s hard to figure out because I can’t see the face clearly.
From his voice, he doesn’t seem that old.
Meanwhile, what Seodong was able to know for sure was.
‘You can’t win.’
It was the intuition of a loser.
I knew it as soon as I saw his eyes.
The reason this forest is so quiet is not because of the monster in front of us, but because of the presence radiating from this person.
He said while looking at Seodong, who started shaking.
“I’m looking for someone. “I thought you knew something.”
A tone filled with laughter.
Seodong’s body trembles at the deep presence contained within.
I forced the words out through my blocked throat.
“… ear… Are you… . who… “Are you there?”
“hmm. “I heard that question twice today.”
Sweat flows.
It felt like my mind would be crushed at any moment.
“I’m just a person whose hobby is traveling. Isn’t that enough? “It should work.”
“…”
This clearly means that he does not want to reveal his identity.
Even though he knew that, Seodong could not come up with a rebuttal.
What will happen if you say no here.
“It gets a little annoying if it doesn’t work out.”
I could vaguely understand it.
Crumbling.
A huge monster growling lowly in front.
It seemed as if he was waiting for orders.
What that means is that this person is taming that monster.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
It was impossible for a human to tame a monster.
one.
“… Huh… after… .”
Even if you have questions and don’t understand.
It was not a situation where I could ask this.
“Who… who… Are you looking for it?”
The person smiled at Seodong’s answer.
It was hard to see clearly because it was night, but I guessed that he was smiling because his blue eyes were bent into half-moon shapes.
Afterwards, the person asked Seodong.
“Sword Demon… . No. What was his name? I think it was probably two letters… .”
After speaking, I think for a moment.
“I don’t know your name.”
And then, as if it had just occurred to him, he spoke again.
“He’s a guy, and he’s probably about the same age as me… . Besides using a sword.”
ah.
“Are your eyes unusually yellow?”
“… !”
Seodong’s body stopped when he heard this.
The person who saw the reaction smiles and asks.
“Do you know?”
“…”
Fortunately or not.
Seo-dong also knows about impressionism.
That was information about someone who had recently become famous in a bad way.
