Episode 162
I had no intention of provoking you.
In the first place, the being in front of you is a devil.
Just as if you swear at an animal, it won’t understand… I wonder if it is possible to scratch the insides of these guys using human standards.
So what I just said was an honest expression of my feelings.
[understood.]
Kajitta said.
The unique fiery voice took on a calm tone even as it looked directly at me, who had come very close to me.
[Its power seems to contain the heat of the sun, giving the owner resistance to heat.]
“… … .”
[I will admit my misjudgment.]
Of course, even as he was uttering such a voice, the flame of this fire demon was shaking viciously.
Just like dancing.
Swoosh – the air is slowly heating up.
As I was slowly raising the tension, Kajitta spoke as if making a sentence.
[You are qualified to compete with me.]
Kuoooooooooo!
As soon as he finished speaking, a fever began to swirl. An air current so rough that it could not be compared to anything before, a whirlwind formed around Kajitta.
I’m so excited… … !
The iron bars shook and made a dissonant sound. It was a creepy sound, but there was no need to cover your ears.
chin.
Kajitta’s palm was placed on his abdomen. It’s not an attack. It was a delicate movement, as if she had brought her hand naturally.
But it was fast.
Even though I was keenly aware, I could not react. The only thing I could do was wrap a bandage around my abdomen right before I reached it.
The swirling heat stopped along with the sound of the condensed air exploding. It was an instant.
Puhwaak!
Then, the flame that disappeared erupted from the palm of his hand.
It was the trick of Balgyeong.
Wow!
The energy surrounding my abdomen shattered like glass. One step later, the pain washed over me like a wave.
Along with the sensation of my body floating, I also felt a sharp pain in my back.
‘Plague… … .’
In an instant, to the end of the prison. I realized that I had flown dozens of meters and was stuck.
I saw an iron bar bent like a marshmallow. It had become mushy due to the high temperature and appeared to have been deformed upon impact.
“Cough… … .”
I forcefully swallowed the blood that welled up.
It was a profound blow, and it was no wonder that he had just lost his mind from the blow.
‘… Should I thank Calzac?’
The belt fastened to his waist, equipment with the cold energy of the Sapphire Snake, absorbed some of the flames.
I was lucky.
What would have happened if I had been hit in the chest or head?
Instead of continuing my useless thoughts, I stood up.
Although my stomach was upset, there was no difficulty in moving my limbs.
[I never thought I would stand up.]
I heard Kajitta’s voice.
“I’m a bit strong… … .” He tried to spit out the words, but closed his mouth.
The first thing I had to do was find the space to say something like that and calm myself down.
Quang!
Of course, the other person is not a jerk.
As if saying that he was qualified to compete wasn’t just empty words, Kajitta kicked the ground and rushed towards me.
‘The attitude change is too fast.’
Just a moment ago, he was ignoring people as they were, but now he looks as if he is dealing with a male nemesis.
Kajitta, who had been far away, was right in front of me in the blink of an eye.
The rising heat was pressing on me.
The spirit was raised. The moment the cool flames swept through every part of my body, I was able to head out in time.
Wow!
Kajitta’s fist and my fist clashed in the air.
[haha!]
Is this guy laughing just now?
He’s a guy with no facial expressions, so I was wondering if I had just heard something wrong.
Kaga-ga-gang!
Without even thinking deeply, the attack and defense continued quickly.
At extremely close range, not only both arms, but also legs, forehead, knees, elbows, and all available means of attack were mobilized.
‘The 100th solar eclipse… ‘It must be difficult to write.’
Even the most basic form of jeolchosik, scorching heat, required minimal preparatory movements and concentration of internal strength.
In close combat with Kajitta, there wasn’t even room for that.
In the extreme speed battle and dantian experience for the first time after returning, the true energy is raised and consumed at the same time.
Fists and gauntlets.

Feet and boots intersect countless times.
Of course, I am the one who is gradually accumulating damage.
Pagak-.
I could feel the steel wrapped around my body slowly cracking.
After the retreat, I never once felt a lack of total internal energy, but now it was different.
Unable to keep up with the flow of speed and attrition with Kajitta, his internal strength was quickly depleted.
– Internal energy is the foundation and foundation of martial arts, and no matter how much you have, it is not enough.
– So Luan. You should never have such arrogant thoughts like, ‘This is enough.’, ‘You will never run out of strength in the future.’
‘Stupid bastard.’
I blame myself internally.
Why did this advice come to me only after experiencing it myself?
“Haaa-… … .”
Let out hot breath.
The physical fatigue and damage are gradually accumulating, my strength has reached the bottom, and now even my breathing is difficult.
Is it because you’re tired? It’s a little different.
‘ah… ‘It’s because of the fire.’
I realize the obvious fact too late. Has your head gone crazy too? In fact, it may be so.
Hellfire seeps through the cracked river. A burning sensation of heat can be felt all over the skin.
Be patient.
At the same time, laughter escaped.
I’m not bragging, and I’m definitely not crazy.
I don’t know why.
The moment I felt the fire of hell directly with my skin, inspiration flashed in my mind. However, it is still unclear.
Looks like I’ll get caught, doesn’t look like I’ll get caught.
The fluttering paragraphs of inspiration flickered like shapeless flames.
I attack in a semi-trance state. block it Avoid. block it They collide. Attack again. block it I can’t avoid it this time.
Bah!
A fist got stuck in my thigh. For a moment, I lost my strength and almost collapsed. She barely manages to hold on, bracing her creaky knees.
Fists clash again.
Ttuduk.
My right wrist was bent in an impossible direction.
‘ah… … .’
More than just pain, I felt regret.
more.
I thought I could fight a little more.
‘Damn body.’
The extremely weak, immature body that is still in the process of development is annoying. young. Still too young.
Not even five years.
If we had had three or even one more year, we could have had a much better match.
I could have held on strongly to this paragraph of inspiration.
Only then did I understand Kajitta’s lament.
This warrior was truly sorry.
In the end, the outcome of a match is not about martial arts, endurance, technique, or split-second judgment… … .
Because I knew it would be obscured by physical differences.
Puff puff!
I was hit in the forehead, chest, and again in the abdomen at the same time. She ran with her whole body in dull pain.
He let out a sigh and sat down on the spot.
[…] excellent.]
And the attacks that had been pouring down like heavy rain stopped.
The flames that had covered everywhere also disappeared.
I knelt down and looked at my battered skin. It looked ugly.
[I will remember your name. Luan Badnicker.]
“… … .”
It was a voice like a lingering fire.
After cooling down, in a dying voice, Kajitta announced the end of the battle.
Even as I listened to that voice, I felt only deep regret.
‘Is it this place?’
My last resort, which I thought of from the moment I faced a crisis at the Academy, but had deliberately ignored it.
The divine protection of Yeongsan.
At this moment, in this place.
Am I going to regress?
‘… no.’
I thought.
“no.”
I even raised my voice on purpose.
[…] … !]
I didn’t want to do that so I got up.
My strength had already reached its lowest point, but my body was still moving.
If so, the odds of winning are not zero.
I straightened my back, ignoring the screams of my body.
My spine and legs were shaking violently. His left thigh, hit so hard, was numb, and he could only limp like a man hit by an arrow.
[Are you still standing up?]
“okay.”
[why.]
“Because it’s still worth doing.”
[…] is it.]
Kajitta’s blue flame flickered again.
[I will respect you.]
Fuhuaak, heat once again covered the whole place. I burst out laughing at that sight.
He is truly a man who never lets his guard down until the very end.
Although I am grateful because it proves that I have been certified as a military officer, it is somewhat obnoxious behavior.
thud.
The figure of Kajitta slowly approached.
The seconds passed by.
With my heated brain, I took advantage of the odds.
Fortunately, there is enough room to perform a hundred solar eclipse this time, but only a very small amount of internal magic remains.
At best, once in the future will be the limit.
‘but.’
Know.
Even if we try to launch a 100-day eclipse with the remaining strength, we will inevitably lose.
Other means are needed.
But what is there?
Tingling-.
I felt pain from the burns all over my body.
It was a factor that took away my concentration.
I have a fairly high pain tolerance, but this fever is definitely annoying. It’s annoying, as if my whole body is on fire.
‘… ‘Fire all over my body?’
The sensation that suddenly occurred to me coincided with the inspiration that was fluttering within my brain.
I once again focused on the heat in my skin.
From the moment the operation of the Flame First Ball ceased, the hellfire emitted by Kajitta touched the skin of his entire body.
Thanks to you, I felt very authentic.
The heat of hell fire.
‘It wasn’t lukewarm at all.’
I shook my head, remembering the words I had spoken with a hint of bravado.
Cheil Chloride Factory.
This mind technique can absorb all the flames that exist in the world.
So, the reason I couldn’t completely absorb Kajitta’s flames wasn’t because hell wasn’t included in my world.
So what is the solution?
‘It’s easy.’
All you have to do is expand your area of thought.
Expanding my world under heaven.
Quagga gagagak-!
It would have been impossible if not now. I realized why these writers risk their lives for sudden inspiration.
Pleasure that was enough to make me forget the heat pain raced down my back for a moment.
I completely absorbed into my body the heat of the hellfire that remained on my skin.
And for a moment, two types of flames were swirling inside my body at the same time.
Hellfire and cold flames.
Red salt and blue salt.
‘What should I do with this?’
The best thing would be to combine it, but it was difficult for me now.
Surprisingly, even though this hellfire was a flame, it did not easily mix with my internal power.
‘We have no choice but to develop them separately.’
Even if the power is slightly lower, it has the highest chance of winning.
It was then that something absurd happened.
Wow!
The ceiling collapsed, and a sword clad in light and darkness stuck between me and Kajitta.
[This… … !]
I heard Kajitta’s shocked voice.
I somehow calmly held the sword in my eyes.
A sword with elegant curves.
A unique Taegeuk pattern engraved on the end of the sword hilt.
It was a yin-yang sword, a large-type weapon.
“… … .”
Before I could even think about why this was here, I grabbed the hilt of the sword.
I’m glad it was my right wrist that was torn apart.
This is because my left hand is more accustomed to handling a sword.
‘The history of Onmyangdo.’
This mysterious Tao is capable of fully accepting all powers located at opposite ends of each other and combining them into the most ideal form.
Yin and yang.
A new soldier who can perfectly combine even the two most conflicting energies in the world.
That is the true value of Onmyangdo.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
In other words, combining different types of flames is not difficult at all for Onmyangdo.
Without hesitation, I poured out all of my remaining power, and the Onmyangdo fully accepted the two flames.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
And the moment the red and blue flames were mixed, a fire of an impossible color was born.
[…] Purple flame.]
Kajitta muttered in a vain voice.
I felt fire power rising from the hilt of the sword.
At the same time, I erased all the sword techniques I knew from my mind. It was decided that no sword technique would be helpful in dealing with this fire.
‘Only with the senses.’
I took the most natural posture as my body moved.
Before I knew it, Dogeuk was targeting Kajitta.
“… “It’s the second round, Kajitta.”
I understand because my body accepts it.
The characteristics, properties, and heat of hellfire.
realize at the same time
“Let’s get a little hotter.”
This purple flame can swallow up the fire of hell.
* * *
Leone was approaching Dean Alderson while hiding his presence.
I am fully aware of the structure of the dungeon.
Of course, even if she didn’t know the way, it wasn’t difficult for Leone to hide Kajitta’s weakened spirit.
Leone, who had been steadily narrowing the distance between himself and Dean Alderson… … .
“… … .”
Suddenly, I looked back as the heat rose.
Luan Badniker is seen fighting against the Legion Commander.
‘What if I get stuck from the front?’
I felt stupid.
No matter how weak he is, he is still a corps commander. This means that it is not an opponent that a single spirit can fight against.
I should have taken as much time as possible to fight, but as soon as the dean’s rescue was successful, I should have run away without looking back.
Wasn’t the strategy planned that well in the first place?
Leone held her tongue inwardly, but soon her thoughts changed.
“… … .”
Luan did not back down.
With my eyeballs boiling, my skin melting, and my wrists broken, I persistently exchanged moves with the corps commander.
The pain caused by hellfire is beyond imagination.
It doesn’t just destroy the body, it inflicts serious damage on the soul itself. If you are mentally weak, you will collapse at the mere touch of your fingertips.
It wasn’t Luan.
Even though his whole body was burned, he actually laughed.
Leone looked at that figure with blank eyes for a moment. The smile on his face in the face of his hardships seemed particularly brilliant.
‘but… … .’
That too will soon reach its limit.
The mind can never overcome the body.
A person with broken tendons cannot hold a sword.
If your spine is broken, you cannot stand up.
Luan, whose body has reached its limit, will soon be reduced to ashes.
A warrior of that level would probably have sensed his own demise.
Still, Luan’s smile did not disappear.
‘… … .’
There are people who cannot be broken by pain alone.
Leone liked such people. He wanted to live as long as possible.
The suddenly rising wind soon became a strong impulse.
The urge to do something unplanned and unreasonable here and there.
‘Impulse is also a human privilege.’
Tsk tsk tsk… … . Leone, laughing, suddenly got down on one knee.
A dark and steamy basement, under a pitch-black ceiling.
Leone prayed with his right hand placed on his heart.
“… Six holy judges. Most just God. A transcendent one who deceives but harbors no malice. A trial has befallen your agent. Please help us see through all lies and deceptions and give us the strength to punish our enemies. Please prove that there was a proper transaction between you and us.”
Ugh-.
A dark red aura bloomed like a red flame from Leone’s whole body.
“Colorless judge, look down upon your apostle who is caught up in a struggle from which he cannot retreat. “If this is a necessary hardship, please give him great strength. If strength is not possible, please give him a word of advice. If even advice is not possible, please give him even a handful of blessings.”
Flames swirling in a dark dungeon.
Leone’s eyes burned even brighter and redder than the flame.
“… “I dare to ask this Lord of the Black Church.”
