Episode 303
I thought as I looked at the flowing lava in front of me.
I also feel like I am not sane in many ways.
No sane human being would think of submerging themselves in lava, no matter how resistant they were to heat.
But now, to me, with the Danjeon empty, the flowing lava seemed like the road to life, not the road to death.
As if half-enchanted, I trudged towards the lava… I stopped walking.
And for a moment, I accepted the fact that I had lost my mind.
To me, who practices the Chloride First Ball, that mighty mass of heat seemed very attractive.
It was like a mill in front of a sparrow or a swarm of mice in front of a cat.
Like a flying insect that flies in knowing that the burning flames will destroy everything… … .
I, too, was so distracted by the heat it contained that I almost soaked myself in it.
So reckless.
Even if you don’t do that, it’s enough.
Since there was a lot of heat near the flowing lava, I immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and performed the first fortune-telling exercise in a long time.
Breathe in the warm air and feel the heat rising from the ground on your skin.
The magnificent heat radiated by nature was soon converted into unique energy that could be handled by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Internal skills.
Danjeon was filled at a faster rate than expected.
It’s natural.
Chloride Cheilgong is a method of mind that is particularly influenced by the surrounding environment.
This is why I usually practice Ungong when the sun is up… … .
Even if the sun is not shining, you can expect even better results if you operate it in places such as volcanic areas, fire sites, or heated sandy beaches.
And the lava writhing beneath the ley lines is itself a product of nature and a mass of circulating energy.
If I completely accept this into my body and make it mine… … .
“… … .”
So, can this situation be reversed now?
I felt a moment of doubt.
How many unexpected things happened inside this shitty ice cave and Ymir’s body?
It was a battlefield so full of variables that no matter how thoroughly you prepared, you were bound to encounter difficulties.
In a place like that, would the skills accumulated through such passive luck be enough?
Kurrrr… … .
The cave ceiling trembled slightly, and stone debris flowed down.
The moment the fallen stone debris fell into the lava, I stopped flying and took a deep breath.
Then he stood up and headed toward the lava.
I know I’m acting crazy, but there’s already an enemy in this cave that I can’t defeat without going crazy.
Even if you join now as a little bit of a bitch, your meager skills won’t be of any help. Rather, it will become a burden.
So it doesn’t make any sense.
It should be helpful.
You must become someone who can alone change the course of the war.
Because my senior, who believed and was confident that I could do that, sacrificed his life to lead me to this place.
However, no matter how much I learned the first chloride ball, if I immersed my bare body in boiling lava, I would melt without even leaving a shape.
I wrapped my entire body with the inner strength I had barely scraped together.
“Hehe… … .”
He said he started laughing when he thought about what he was going to do from now on, but I don’t know why. It occurred to me that a person’s mind is capable of knowing things and not knowing them.
Eventually, like someone slowly entering steaming hot water, I carefully dipped my toes into the lava, putting my body into the water.
Immediately after, fever, heat, and pain – alarm bells in my head rang like crazy, telling me to reflexively pull out the toe I had stuck in.
Pain is basically a signal sent by the human body. A warning to you to exercise restraint because if you push yourself any further than this, your body will fall to pieces.
Even though I only dipped my toes, my body went crazy.
To put it simply, it means that it hurts enough to just rummage around.
I ignored it and put the rest of my body in.
A body made of blood and flesh can withstand temperatures that can melt even rocks.
I learned what it felt like to be cooked alive.
Rather than feeling like a toad slowly steaming to death in a pot… … .
It would be closer to the feelings of a chicken suddenly thrown into a boiling pot.
“Hmm… … .”
Just now I was rolling around on thin ice and now I can’t believe I’m dipping into lava… … . It suddenly occurred to me that my life was really weird.
In any case, because my body was slightly covered with strength through internal energy, I did not melt.
Of course, strength is an art that consumes a tremendous amount of internal energy.
With my current strength, it’s hard to even last 10 seconds.
‘therefore-.’
Hwareuk… … !
I converted the heat extracted from the lava into internal energy and refined it into the form of strong energy.
It’s easy to say, but it was a complicated and dangerous task that even three heads would not be enough.
The heat of lava is dangerous.
What would happen if this energy was embraced raw and unrefined?
To explain it simply, it is easy to think of heated molten iron running through the veins of the whole body.
No matter how trained a warrior is, the inside of his body will completely melt.
But I was confident about this crazy thing.

——————
Over 100 days of training spent in Yeongsan, struggling to descend the mountain… … . Thanks to my experience at that time, I was able to quickly adapt to such a complex process.
Of course, adapting and the difficulty of the job were completely different things.
“Big… … !”
The boiling lava sometimes showed movements completely beyond my expectations, and each time, a burning pain spread inside my body.
Depending on where I made a mistake, I could vomit blood and die at once, so I broke into a cold sweat from the tension.
no. Isn’t it cold sweat?
Now that I think about it, there’s no way I’m sweating cold while taking a half-body bath in lava.
Hot!
“Ugh… … !”
As a result of thinking like a sick person, a fever spread from my abdomen.
Let’s focus.
You have to concentrate.
Although all of the brain’s attention is still focused on processing, there will definitely come a moment when this trend reverses.
So, for now, we must treat this entire process as fair.
Feel nature, extract energy from it, convert it into inner energy, and then exhale it again as energy.
Although the energy consumption of the river was enormous, there was still more energy that could be extracted from the lava.
As a result, as my substitution rate increased, my dantian began to become more and more full.
‘-ah.’
At some point, I realized that my vision in all directions became brighter.
Now, can this also be called white fire? This was the first time I had entered a state of whiteness while performing a life-or-death exercise.
A body overheated beyond its limits. However, the flames escaping from the body were much thicker than usual.
Flames swirled around me, just like a prominence wrapped around the sun.
‘… … .’
How much time has passed?
When I felt the heat of the lava as warmth, I thought enough was enough.
fault!
I jumped out of the lava.
My whole body felt hot, and I temporarily felt that my physical performance had greatly improved.
The current situation will not remain for long.
So, defeat the enemy as quickly as possible before this temporary enhancement ends.
* * *
Tdu-du.
I relaxed my knuckles and approached the corps commander.
I was able to surprise him and land him a blow, but my fist was stiff as if I had hit some sort of rebar.
This is what it feels like to have an outstretched fist in a whitened state? It was a weapon that could break even iron.
furthermore… … .
This corps commander was dressed quite strangely.
‘Monk?’
While staying in Yeongsan, there were several martial arts books that my teacher occasionally gave me to read… … .
Among them, what was particularly impressive was the story about monks who specialize in training radish.
Of course, the fact that monks trained their bodies and pursued strength overlapped with the heresy inquisitors of the 72 schools, but the essence of monks and monks was completely different.
The reason they refine their bodies is to ultimately look within, gain enlightenment, and reach nirvana.
‘Why is this guy the commander of the corps?’
At that moment, what crossed my mind was the Cheonaktanseo that Sister Cheon had given me.
The moment I heard about the 72 demons that were there… … .
thud… … !
The corps commander took his stance and tapped his staff. The moment I thought, “That’s a strange looking cane.”
“stomach! damage!”
Someone screamed a warning. I moved my body, thinking it was a voice I had heard before.
Then the tombstone was placed in the spot where it had been just a moment ago.
‘What tombstone?’
Also, where did it come from?
Thinking it was an attack in bad taste, I ran away from the falling tombstone.
The falling speed was so fast that it seemed to defy the laws of physics, and if it weren’t for the whitening state, it might not have been avoidable.
Of course, there is no point in continuing to avoid it like this.
Before the corps commander, who staggered to his feet, did something else… … .
“… “Salpa.”
I unleashed Crowtaker’s power.
Whioooo-!
The wind spirit responded immediately.
The moment the red flames covering my entire body turned black and my single wing sprouted, I was immediately within reach of the corps commander.
What the heck!
He immediately struck three times, but was blocked by the outstretched cane.
My fists are numb, and the material of the staff is as unusual as this guy’s body.
[Saaaa… … !]
The corps commander then let out a vicious instrument and swung his baton indiscriminately at me.
I was startled and stepped back to block the attack.
‘A big, mountainous guy… … .’
The speed at which he swings his staff is no different from that of a skilled spearman.
He was putting pressure on me by swinging his cane like a baton, but as the fight continued, I realized that he was not swinging it randomly, but that his movements had a pattern.
It means that one has learned the art of martial arts professionally.
While my hands and feet were dizzy, I remembered the battle with the feed. The corps commander’s offensive was fierce, but not as diverse as the feed.
The sparring experience I had at that time gave me the advantage I have today.
Besides, if he’s this big… … .
[…] … !]
It’s easy to dig into.
I instantly lowered my posture and burrowed under the corps commander, immediately jumping up and extending my fist.
100 days eclipse, white eclipse type, 3rd eclipse type.
Sublimation, bright fire.
The red flame in my fist clashed violently with the flame burning on the face of this corps commander.
That thing, that thing… … !
However, I think my fist was a little hotter after rolling around in the lava just a moment ago.
Kkwajijijik-!
I extinguished the commander’s flame and completely shattered this guy’s face.
It was rewarding to get hit in the face with a surprise attack. It felt like the damage from that time had accumulated and was destroyed.
[Ooooooooo… … !]
The corps commander screamed strangely and left. The flame burning in the face became as shabby as a bonfire about to go out.
“Well, to overwhelm and defeat that corps commander single-handedly… … ?”
“What about that boy?”
“Golden Fairy… … . “It’s Luan Badniker, the gold fairy!”
“The blood of the Iron Blood Lord saved us!”
“… … .”
While the people around me cheered, I clenched and unclenched my fists and glared at the fallen commander.
I don’t know how the flame made the cotton scar and it was eaten, but the feeling when it was broken was exactly like breaking a piece of pottery… … .
… Strangely, it felt like I had hit an empty stomach.
I did not join in the fuss around me and just quietly watched the corps commander… … .
I turned my attention to the cane this guy was holding.
“… … .”
The skull of an animal attached to the end of a staff.
Naturalization was burning inside the dark eyelids of that eerie skull… … .
Even though its owner died, it did not turn off and was glaring at me.
… No way, this bastard.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
Green flames soared like an explosion.
For a moment, as my vision turned white, I vaguely saw something dark approaching me.
He immediately pulled out his Seven Deadly Sins Sword and blocked it.
Kwaaaang!
“… … .”
The identity of the dark something was a dark tentacle that appeared under the hem of the corps commander’s clothes.
This tentacle, as thick as a log, hit my body with all its might, and I was only able to straighten up after flying dozens of meters.
‘Plague… … .’
And within the green flames, the fully resurrected figure of the corps commander was seen.
As I wiped my mouth, spitting out blood, I saw a familiar weapon rolling around on the ground.
It is a trident of a unique shape.
“Captain Peed is dead.”
When I turned around after hearing the sad voice, I saw a slightly familiar face.
Jack from [Frostel].
He was one of the clan leaders who pressured me the day I wanted to join Corrupted.
Although it is not a particularly important fact at this point.
“It was a good decision to avoid the tombstone. If you get crushed by it, you will most likely die. Unless you have the strength of a giant… … .”
I looked around at the battlefield.
As if they were waiting for me to leave, I could see the remaining heroes and northern warriors rushing towards the corps commander.
[Kaaaaaa-!]
The corps commander let out a roar, swung his staff, and spread his tentacles in all directions.
Every time that happened, the warriors were swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
“To be resurrected again… … . “Didn’t you just defeat him with your attack?”
“I knocked it down. But that body is not the main body.”
“What is that… … .”
“The cane that bastard is holding. We have to destroy that thing. “If you don’t, you will survive again and again.”
“cane. oh my god… … .”
Only then did Jack look at the commander’s staff with a hard look on his face.
“The skull of a horned beast on the end of that staff… … . “Do you mean that’s his body?”
“Maybe. But what were things like before I came?”
“… I thought I pushed it pretty hard. But the corps commander still had one move left. “As soon as I called Kingarodtooth’s name, he became one level stronger.”
“How did you push it? “It would have been difficult with our current strength.”
“I guess it was an impromptu response. It seemed to be vulnerable to sounds that resonated in a certain rhythm. like this… … .”
Barrel, barrel, barrel… … .
Jack continued, hitting the floor with his cane.
“… When I shouted a little loudly at him, he started struggling in pain. Like the devil who heard the prayers in an orthodox exorcism.”
“It’s a constant rhythm… … .”
Are you talking about the sound of a moktak?
I clicked my tongue. Somehow, I thought that the magical power of a high monk who had trained martial arts for a long time would be quite advantageous against that corps commander.
I feel sick to my stomach because I don’t have the means I have now.
In other words, as it is… … .
“Can you win?”
Jack asked as if he read my expression.
“We have to win… I’d like to say that, but honestly, it’s difficult. “I felt it during the fight just now, but the strength of that staff is beyond imagination.”
When it comes to attack power, I’m not behind anywhere… … .
The concept is a bit different from the destructive power that can destroy something.
In order to break something solid, formidable physical strength or a type of weapon is important.
To put it simply, even if I were to use the second half of the Hundred Days Sect, it would be difficult to break that staff with my fist.
I may be able to pass the time by bickering, but in the end, my current state of whiteness is temporary.
When all the heat from the lava that I forcibly collected runs out, I will be torn to pieces by the corps commander and die.
‘What if I use the Seven Deadly Sins Sword?’
It’s better than fighting with your fists, but…
Although the Seven Deadly Sins Sword’s strength is impeccable, this weapon is also not suitable for destroying things. The same goes for Yin-Yang Tao.
Jack asked.
“What about Director Feed’s belongings?”
I lifted the feed’s trident at those words.
It’s definitely an unusual item, but… … .
“It is difficult. I don’t think I can fully wield the power contained in this weapon. “It’s probably a weapon that hides its owner.”
“hmm… … .”
… A weapon that hides its owner.
There was a scene that suddenly came to mind from the words I spoke.
“… “There is only one way.”
“What is that?”
Ymir’s camouflage, eternal winter -.
A temple built beyond the harsh ordeal, a mythical weapon stuck in the center.
A weapon shaped like a hammer, best suited for breaking things.
I said, looking around.
“Where is the Mir Giant?”
