Episode 767
Battle of Pandemonium and Battle of Pandemonium (5)
“…!!”
In an instant, Yeonwi left the residence and arrived at the fishway and looked around.
The most capable members of the Geumgun army were encamped near the second palace gate, and the rest were waiting beyond the third palace gate.
It was an incredibly strict atmosphere. The eyes of the Geumgun, who thoroughly guarded the emperor’s residence, were as sharp as a blade.
Even though he said he worked a shift, he must have been tired since he’s been working hard for several days, but he doesn’t show any sign of that. I was in a state where I could react immediately if something happened.
“Yeongaju.”
Peng Mu-gang approached Yeon-wi.
The faces of both people were equally frozen.
“Did you feel it?”
“I felt it.”
Zhuge Yan’s face, who followed behind, was full of urgency.
“You have to look at the situation outside. “Now we have to see what this conflict means.”
Yeonwi shook his head.
“Hazy moves are prohibited. Even with our divine laws, it takes a long time to get from here to outside the outer walls. “No one knows what will happen inside.”
“I’ll just check and come back. “If only we could look at the atmosphere inside, even if it wasn’t outside…”
That was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
A loud explosion was heard from the north.
The heads of the three people turned at the same time.
Tsutsutsutsu.
Thick smoke rises.
It was towards the outer castle. It was so far away that it was difficult to even see it properly with the n.a.k.e.d eye. I could see it because they were experts with strong internal power.
“That acting…?!”
“Smoke is not the problem.”
Yeonwi’s eyes wavered slightly.
“The master who opened the dance has appeared.”
An unidentified monster who trained in magic arts and a monster who killed his existence with unknown magical powers.
‘What is happening?’
It was only a little while ago that I learned that a powerful master existed in the imperial palace.
As soon as this was known, a battle broke out. It was too timely for a coincidence.
‘You won’t know that I noticed. Unless you read my prayer, or even if you did, it is impossible. You can read the opponent’s force with your sensitive senses, but you cannot read the opponent’s intentions.’
Wooooow.
Yeonwi, who raised his sword fighting skills to the highest level, activated the magic of Sangdanjeon to the extreme.
‘…!’
Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.
‘Sakong (邪功)!’
The one who fights the unknown master who causes fire in the north.
They were colliding spectacularly, radiating tremendous morale, and just reading the energy between them was enough to give me goosebumps all over my body.
‘There is only one person in Tanggeum Wulin who has trained a boatman of that level.’
Yeonwi opened her mouth.
“The one fighting in the north is Gok-gyeong, the light spirit demon.”
“Light spirit demon!”
“I don’t know when I came in. But thank goodness. He said he was Your Majesty’s man, so it seems like he arrived quickly after hearing the news.”
Even as I spoke, I could feel the connection. That his abilities are quite inconsistent.
I read that there was a demon in the west whose presence was eliminated and a monster in the north who was presumed to be a Shinhwa religion leader, but I could not read that Gok-gyeong entered the imperial palace.
It was a serious situation, but at the same time, Yeonwi was able to reflect on herself. This sensitive sense was never perfect, and it was an ability that should never be used carelessly unless absolutely necessary.
“Then what about the battle taking place in the south?”
Peng Wugang’s face became extremely serious.
“You sure they’re not massacring the civilians outside the palace?!”
Zhuge Yan shook his head.
“That can’t be possible. There is no reason to do something like that now. Of course… I don’t know if that demon was suffering from mania.”
It was a very unlikely story.
Yeonwi said.
“Someone is fighting.”
“With Mine?”
“exactly.”
“Who are you?”
“…I don’t know. “My senses are not perfect, so I can read the energy of a demon I have captured, but I cannot read the identity of the person confronting him.”
To be precise, it was because the demonic energy emitted by the demon was so severe that it even covered the opponent’s energy waves.
‘It’s terrible!’
The morale of the light spirit demon army was enormous, but the magic power of that demon seemed to be even greater. Your army’s energy was terrible, and the demon’s magic energy was terrible.
‘But…’
Yeonwi’s hand holding the sword hanging on the belt turned white.
‘Why? ‘It’s so frustrating.’
Zhuge Yan opened his mouth.
“I need to prepare for battle.”

“…?”
“The absolute expert on the enemy side that Lord Yeonga captured has allies who can compete with him. In that case, the enemies will also aim for the royal palace sooner or later.”
Peng Wugang nodded.
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes lit up.
“It would have been better if I had seen the atmosphere of the outer castle in person, but I can trust Lord Yeonga’s senses. “If two monsters meet each other, there is hope in the sit-in war.”
“Still, there is a problem.”
“yes. “If by chance the enemy’s absolute masters win, we will be as good as dead.”
That was the problem.
Eodo’s troops are sufficient. In particular, Geumgun was very familiar with this region and received training on internal rebellions and assassinations coming from outside.
They are truly the best soldiers in the empire, so they will be able to withstand most enemies.
The problem was when a powerful expert appeared that could overturn the battlefield.
There are artillery and fire guns here. However, the enemies also had artillery and, crucially, the number of experts was very large.
It was true that even without being an absolute expert, you were pushed out of the high level.
“They said that the Wulin troops other than the Paeng family were gathering outside the palace. However, it is impossible to guarantee when they will come to the palace and to what extent they will perform once they arrive.”
“Then what should I do?”
Zhuge Yan lifted up the flags hanging behind his back.
“I will put into operation the military strategy that has been laid out throughout the royal palace.”
“Of course I should.”
“Lord Panga, please act as the person in charge of Mercury along with the Five Thousand Seals.”
Peng Wugang nodded.
“And Lord Yeonga.”
Zhuge Zhen’s expression made the pulpit look young.
Although he had a strong voice, it was inevitable that his eyes would slightly waver.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
Yan Wei guessed what Zhuge Yan was going to ask.
“Are you curious about whether my martial arts skills can be used even by a Seongcheon-level expert?”
“…yes.”
“It doesn’t work.”
“okay.”
“In a head-to-head match.”
“…?”
“If there is a surprise or secret attack… I think there is a possibility. Of course, it is unclear whether it can inflict fatal injuries.”
These were hopeful words, but Zhuge Yan’s expression actually darkened.
But she didn’t waste time. This was because I knew that Yeonwi had also made up her mind.
“Please choose one of the two expert battlefields.”
Peng Wugang looked at the two people in surprise.
“What does that mean? Are you really planning on sending Yeongaju to that battlefield?”
“yes.”
“Ayeon!”
“If we lose both, there is no hope. Even if only one place collapses, it is still dangerous. However, it is even more dangerous to wait for the enemy to be mastered in two battlefields.”
“That’s true, but…!”
“I think this is the best way to do it right now.”
Peng Mu-gang looked at Yan Wei with stiff eyes.
But Yeonwi didn’t look worried at all. This was because he also agreed with what Zhuge Yan said.
After a while, Yeonwi raised his head.
“I’m going north. The northern battlefield is the closest to the royal palace. Moreover, the Light Spirit Demon Army will be well-versed in the terrain of the area, so it would make sense to quickly decide the winner and prepare for the next battle.”
“I thought so too.”
Yan Wei said while looking at Peng Wugang.
“I think this fight will end soon.”
“…I guess so.”
“Please take care of the center.”
Peng Mu-gang closed his eyes.
“Be sure to come back alive. When my work here is over, I will present you with the finest silk that our family is proud of.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“That’s good.”
Paaaaaaaa!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yeonwi’s new brother disappeared.
No further conversation was necessary. From now on, it was a race against time.
Peng Mu-gang called Hwang Bao-jeok.
“The enemy’s attack will begin soon. “I tell Geumgun to prepare for battle.”
Hwang Bo-jeok’s eyes lit up.
“I understand.”
Don’t say anything like how you know that. Even though they had a falling out, he still trusted Peng Wugang’s abilities.
“Zinc. You should activate your formation and observe the situation of the war. “I will visit your Majesty for a while.”
“yes!”
Peng Mu-gang moved quickly.
Zhuge Yan, who was beginning to place the flags in his hand on the axes around the island, suddenly looked south.
There was passion on her face.
“…I don’t know who it is, but please bear with me.”
* * *
Quad deud deuk!
The terrifying attack not only shattered the ground, but also vertically split the wall behind Gwak Jun.
It was a feat of tremendous strength. Yeon Ho-jeong, who wielded an ultra-heavy weapon weighing more than 80 pounds, was so strong that it was difficult to find anyone who could match him even at a similar level.
Fuuuuuuu!
But Kwak Jun was no slouch either.
His evasion ability was truly uncanny. Even Yeonhojeong, who had experienced all kinds of chaos and had seen the martial arts and reactions of countless masters, had never seen this type of new method or method.
Flash!
A cross slash struck like lightning was aimed at Kwak Jun’s body.
Kwak Jun’s two hands, which had already crossed, spread left and right as if tearing the air.
Quaaaang!
The cross-cutting attack and the bloody attack collided, creating a powerful shock wave.
‘this.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was trying to get through the shock wave and deliver a blow in half a beat, quickly turned his body and escaped the full force.
Cheeeeeeeek!
Part of Yeonhojeong’s left shoulder garment turned into powder and scattered.
It was a demonic invasion. The terrible demonic energy mixed with the erupting shock wave flew towards Yeonhojeong as if it had a will.
It was just amazing.
Shock waves are literally waves generated by shock. The true energy that spreads as a wave no longer belongs to its owner, so putting one’s will into the exploding energy requires tremendous concentration and awareness.
‘It’s strong as expected.’
Attack the enemy by putting your will into the fragmented true energy.
This was no different from the martial arts of Igigeogeom (以氣馭劍). On the outside, he appears to be using simple and brutal martial arts, but Kwak Jun’s killing technique, targeting every moment like this, is truly that of a Seongcheon expert.
It was then.
“…?”
Blood gradually seeped out of Yeon Ho-jeong’s chest.
Although her eyes were still fixed on Kwak Jun, Yeon Ho-jeong was inwardly very surprised.
‘When did you stab me?’
Kwak Jun’s four fingers dug into his chest. Even though it didn’t touch the bone, it could have been really dangerous.
Kwak Jun licked Yeon Ho-jeong’s blood from his fingernails.
“hey.”
“….”
“What’s your name?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said coldly.
“Didn’t you like Tongseongmyeong?”
“I wanted to know. “Because you’re so angry.”
“Antal?”
“I wanted to take out that ugly thing inside that chest, but I failed. “Aren’t you hiding it too closely?”
“I don’t know what bullshit this is.”
“Tell me your name. “Family relationships too.”
“Why is this happening all of a sudden? Has the madness gone away? Well, it didn’t look normal from the beginning.”
“That terrible resentment and anger you harbor. It’s almost like malice. No matter how impoverished their lives, there are not many people who walk around unharmed while embracing something so terrible. “Special people like you and me are really rare.”
“What kind of bullshit do you keep talking about?”
“If you don’t bring it up by the end, I’ll have to go find your father and brothers.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face suddenly hardened.
Kwak Jun tilted his head.
“I’m sure you’ve never exploded before?”
“….”
“That vicious madness that melts in your veins… It’s hard to build up something like that through experience. Have you ever seen a human child give birth to a ghost?”
Kwak Jun grinned.
“Your predecessors were probably just as much ghosts as you.”
Flash!
Woldo, which had tremendous killing power, was fired towards Kwak Jun’s head.
