Episode 763
The Hall of Pandemonium and the Hall of Demons (1)
“….”
There was a man looking at the royal palace from the floor of the East Castle, the seventh palace gate. It was a footnote Gicheon type of the fire poison monument of Shinhwaism.
“…Damn it.”
He came down to the bottom of the East Gate with his face distorted.
Phew.
It was a strange new law. It slowly descended while floating in the air, as if leaves were falling in a forest without a single wind blowing.
Slurp.
Gi Cheon-hyung, who landed lightly, looked to the side.
There was a one-eyed woman with no blood on her body. Although she was a woman, the muscles on her arms were clearly exposed and were as strong as those of a strong man.
He was also very strong, but his one remaining eye was unfocused. Saliva was flowing from his slightly opened mouth.
Ki Cheon-hyeong asked the warrior who was supporting the one-eyed woman, Hongryonggung.
“How is your condition?”
Musa shook his head.
“I was completely distraught. “Now he seems to have even forgotten to drink water.”
“F*cking b*tch.”
Gi Cheon-hyung walked to the front of the Hongryong Palace and slapped her.
puck! puck!
Hongryonggung’s face instantly swelled up. Red blood poured from the open mouth and nose.
Gi Cheon-hyung shouted loudly.
“Are you out of your mind, you damn b*tch!?”
Hongryonggung looked up at Ki Cheonhyeong with one blurry eye.
But that was all. She slowly lowered her head and mumbled something. It was a sound that was difficult to understand.
Yogong, the head of the Hwadok Monument standing to one side, sighed.
“It seems like it has reached an irreversible state. My strength and energy were completely mixed up.”
“I know it when I see it!”
“Stop now….”
“Kill me? Of course I have to kill you!”
Gi Cheon-hyung swung his fist.
Bye!
The Red Dragon Palace was thrown backwards and rolled around on the floor.
It was hit so hard that several broken teeth flew into the air. Judging by the bloody sound, even the cheekbones will not be intact.
Saaagh!
A terrifying, deadly force arose from Gi Cheon-hyeong’s body.
“Even if you kill them, you can’t just kill them. “I have to kill him.”
“Mr. Footnote.”
“You’re a b*tch who ran away out of fear even though your superior was captured by the enemy! “A b*tch belonging to the Red Dragon did something that even the lowest cultists of Shinhwaism wouldn’t do!”
Gi Cheon-hyeong shouted at the warrior.
“Put that b*tch in the shit!” “When I finish work, I will beat you to death!”
“yes.”
The warrior carried the Hongryonggung and walked north.
Gicheonhyeong, who was fussing with excitement, took a breath.
Duke Yao asked cautiously.
“Is this really true?”
“….”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t believe what they say. Ki Woo-heon is not the kind of person who will be captured by the enemy, is he? “He is a man of martial arts and martial arts, but his loyalty is great.”
Gi Cheon-hyeong also agreed with Yogong’s words.
Although he was an ugly guy, his ability and loyalty were clear.
The reason I hated him so much but did what I was told without saying a word was because I recognized that he was always working for the Shinhwa Church.
He was confident even in the face of the assassination of Go Soo, who opened the door to extremes. Rather than being captured by the enemy, he would have exploded his flames and self-destructed on the spot.
That’s the thinking. But I couldn’t be sure.
“You felt it too, right?”
“yes?”
“It was early morning a few days ago. “The day the battle took place in the royal palace.”
“….”
“Until now, Ki Woo-heon has handled everything that happened in the palace alone. It must have been the same back then. “He must have been confident.”
“I guess so.”
“But he failed. I can’t see him anymore. “I can’t even feel him.”
“….”
“I think he’s dead. But…”
Ki Cheon-hyung swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“If I had been exposed to that deadly force at that time, there is a possibility that I would have lost my mind. “He could have been captured without any time to self-destruct.”
Not only Gicheonhyeong and Yogong, but also the masters of the three religions who were stationed throughout the inner city were all trembling from the terrible feeling of death.
It was so dangerous that no one even thought to check its source.
Although there was no expert who opened the extreme gate in the inner city, there was no one with great skills. Although Ki Cheon-hyung may not be as strong as Ki Woo-heon, he possesses enough power to be called the head of a family wherever he goes.
Yet, I froze in this strange way of living. That day, he could not leave his residence all night.
It was only after dawn that I was able to escape from this bizarre life and move. It was a symptom experienced not only by him but by everyone who felt alive.

‘What on earth was that?’
I have never felt like living anywhere else. Even school security laws won’t reveal that level of murder.
‘I even saw a vision that I didn’t know what it was. A monster with an unclear shape… it had multiple arms and faces.’
Ki Cheon-hyung’s eyes wavered.
Even now that I am free from the fear of that life, my heart reflexively trembles when I think of that time.
Yogong opened his mouth.
“Maybe it’s some kind of hex.”
If I had heard something like this normally, I would have criticized it and asked if that was something I just came up with.
But I couldn’t do that now. Even the master who opened the extreme gate could have used a magic spell unknown to us if he had unleashed a wide range of life skills that were difficult to reveal.
If not.
“Maybe there is a master in the palace who can be comparable to the leader.”
Duke Yao’s eyes wavered.
“Mr. Footnote.”
Ki Cheon-hyung shook his head.
“Of course, the possibility is slim. Our religious leader is a new man. “Who else but the masters of light blood and evil spirits would have reached his level?”
“….”
“However, there may be something that is difficult to do with our abilities.”
“….”
“You have to be careful.”
Even as he spoke, Gi Cheon-hyung felt frustrated.
He was always a man who disparaged prudence as timidity. He was very hot-tempered and didn’t like thinking very much.
But what about prudence? Wouldn’t it be much better to bring all the troops and launch an all-out attack, even if it means dying?
After thinking for a moment, he asked Yogong.
“How about protection?”
Yogong bowed his head and answered.
“He is currently at Samchamgo in the northern part of the outer city.”
Gi Cheon-hyung’s eyes deepened.
“Are you there yet?”
“It is said that the expedition was once again shaken by the evaporation of 100 of the Paengga troops not long ago. “I heard that you will need to strengthen your body for about half a day to recover, and that you still need a lot of time to complete your body.”
“Damn it…”
They have controlled the metallurgy imperial palace for decades and have created secret abodes throughout the outer walls of the palace.
Some of them were stocked with various elixirs and food, and some had all kinds of spells centered on items that were good for recovery.
‘It’s been a few years since you opened your eyes, but I never thought it would be delayed this much.’
Of course, it was much faster than originally expected.
When ‘He’ first began to recover here, it took twenty years. Since it was not something that would be resolved within a few years anyway, everyone waited leisurely.
However, he opened his eyes much sooner than expected and his recovery was several times faster than expected.
So the Shinhwa believers had expectations. If ‘that person’ opens his eyes, there will be no need to use the power of the palace to overthrow the imperial palace.
It was possible that he might be appointed as the next successor, surpassing all of the current successors.
However, the recovery slowed down exponentially as the body moved toward completion.
It was a result that no one expected. It was thought that the great succession would be achieved ten years earlier than originally planned, but it ended up being sluggish towards the end.
Of course, if the Crown Prince had ousted the Empress and seized the remaining power in the palace a few days ago, he would not have bothered.
The problem was that things were not going well right now.
“…There is no way.”
Gi Cheon-hyung frowned.
“Assemble the troops.”
“yes?”
Duke Yao was surprised.
“Do you want to floss your teeth?”
“Put it all together for now. “I will meet Pangaju first.”
The troops gathered at the Imperial Palace were in a thorough sit-in, and among them, Peng Mu-gang negotiated with this side several times.
Peng Wugang was a cunning negotiator. And the representative of this side that lost Ki Woo-heon was Ki Cheon-hyung. Ki Cheon-hyung was not very good at reading the enemy’s thoughts or seeing the situation.
Not only that, but most of the rest were like that. Although they were glorious fire cultists and warriors, they did not have outstanding military talent like those from Hwaunbigak.
“The fire rifle that Geumgun carries is an item that cannot be ignored. “If an all-out war breaks out, hundreds of our troops could disappear in an instant.”
“Of course it will. However, Geumgun’s fire rifle takes time to reload. “If everything were at stake, we would win by a landslide.”
“We are doing this because we are afraid of losing troops that we do not need to lose.”
These were also not words that would come out of Gi Cheon-hyung’s mouth. He was losing himself over and over again due to an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
“Let’s go first. We gathered our troops and as soon as the signal was given…”
That was then.
Beep!
A deafening sound came from the air.
Ki Cheon-hyeong and Yao-gong turned their heads and looked at the sky.
“…?!”
The two people’s eyes widened.
Dozens of arrows were flying from the southwest gate in the distance.
It was a hyosi (嚆矢). It was not an arrow fired to hit the enemy.
Those arrows were flying in a line. At first glance, it was over thirty feet long.
“what!?”
I couldn’t tell where it was shooting from. At first glance, it was a distance of well over two or three hundred sheets. No, it was much further away than that.
Tududududuuk!
The birds flew in with a sharp sound and fell sporadically throughout the outer castle.
Gi Cheon-hyung felt that something was not unusual.
Paaaaaaaa!
Gicheonhyeong crossed several palace gates in one go.
Even with such great divine laws, it took a considerable amount of time to reach the outer city. It was truly an astounding width.
“Sir!”
The believers holding the fallen filial piety hurriedly approached Ki Cheon-hyeong.
“What’s going on? What is that? “Where did you shoot it?!”
“We’re in big trouble! “Look at this!”
Gi Cheon-hyeong’s eyes widened as he opened the letter the teacher gave him.
“…what’s this?”
“Is this true?”
Ki Cheon-hyeong, who had crumpled the letter, also opened the letters that other believers had given him.
It was the same content. The handwriting was different, but the content was no different.
Burrr.
Gi Cheon-hyung’s hand holding the letter began to tremble.
“What the hell is this?!”
“What should I do? “We are outside the outer castle now!”
“…!”
“Sir!”
Ki Cheon-hyung, who was staring at the letter, shouted.
“Call the remaining Hongryong and Bigak kids! “Tell the evil-minded and mad-blooded b*stards to prepare for the unexpected!”
“Yes yes!”
“and!”
Grumble!
Gi Cheon-hyung, who burned the letter, said with a distorted face.
“Tell that Taoist guy too. “We might have to let that damn beast go.”
* * *
The imperial palace was so large that even Yeonhojeong and Gokgyeong had no idea what kind of masters there were or how many of them were inside.
However, he could guess how many troops were approaching.
“come.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Gok-gyeong.
Gok-gyeong nodded.
“We will infiltrate from the other side. If you feel the momentum of the apocalypse, come to my aid immediately. “We must kill him as quickly as possible.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Paaaaang!
Gokgyeong moved west along the wall.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Ki Woo-hee headed to the southern gate.
And after a while.
Googoo googung!
The gate opened and a group of people appeared.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly and aimed the sword at Ki Woo-hee’s neck.
“hi?”
