#Episode 1053
In the midst of such a huge shock that it seemed as if the world had stopped, Jin Tae-kyung held his breath for an instant.
In front of this unbelievable guess that flashed through my mind like a flash, I felt like my heart was throbbing as if I had been stabbed by a knife.
“What happened… … .”
“Just a moment, just a moment.”
Jeokcheongang, who noticed something when Jin Tae-kyung suddenly froze like a stone statue, raised his hand and stopped Gungseong from talking.
Of course he knew.
That Chon-gak is called Yeosamchu.
At the bottom of the hill, a fierce battle is still going on.
But now, we understand each other just by looking at each other’s eyes, or even without looking into each other’s eyes.
The old master was sure that there must be a good reason for his young disciple’s behavior, and his guess was not wrong.
Jerk, jerk.
Even though I am staggering due to extreme fatigue, I am moving towards somewhere as if I am possessed.
Accordingly, the scene in front of his eyes, which was getting closer little by little, was clearly displayed on Jin Tae-kyung’s retina.
The hem of pure white clothes, torn to shreds and swaying in the wind blowing from somewhere. A small puddle of blood.
It was the last trace proving that someone had been there, and Jin Tae-kyung stretched out a trembling hand and touched the largest trace among them.
The arms and legs of a woman were thin and white enough to show the veins.
Even at this moment, its cross section, which was pouring out dark red blood, was incredibly straight and sharp.
As if it had been ‘separated’ rather than cut off.
‘This… … ‘It is by no means a scar caused by force.’
Finally faced with the truth, Jin Tae-kyung let out the breath he had been holding.
It’s definitely true. There was no way I didn’t know.
Because he was a man of two worlds.
Because he was both a martial artist and a hunter.
That’s why I was able to see more clearly than anyone else the marks on these arms and legs that had separated from the body, one by one.
“Teleport… … .”
At the sigh that escaped Jin Tae-kyung’s lips without even realizing it, Jeokcheon-gang came up next to him and asked with a stiff face.
“No way, it’s not the situation Nobu thinks.”
Jin Tae-kyung did not answer.
However, Jeokcheon-gang already knew that silence means positivity.
“That strange technique again. “No, is it magic?”
Yes, that’s right.
It’s magic. Damn that magic.
Jin Tae-kyung, overcome with an indescribable sense of helplessness, nodded quietly, and Jeokcheon-gang’s eyes flashed.
Although he was already exhausted from injuries and fatigue, both large and small, there was not the slightest hint of resignation in his fire-filled eyes.
“This is not the time. Right now, before it’s too late… … .”
“It’s already too late.”
“what?”
Jin Tae-kyung gritted his teeth instead of answering.
Teleport.
Among countless types of magic, space movement magic is notorious for being particularly difficult.
Unlike blink magic, which has the limitation of short distances, teleportation can perform tens of magic spells at once, depending on the wizard’s level and mana. Or it could jump hundreds of kilometers.
Not hundreds of pages, but hundreds of kilometers.
So, how many great mages have reached the end of the truth called magic?
‘perhaps… … Assuming all conditions are perfect, it could be possible to cross half of the continent.’
Even Jin Tae-kyung did not know the exact figures.
The only important thing is that the great fish called the Great Mage has already torn the net and fled far away.
Jin Tae-kyung parted his lips, feeling the fatigue weighing down his entire body even more.
“It’s out of range we can chase. “By now, we’re probably at least a few tens of miles away.”
“What is that… … !”
Jeokcheongang’s eyes widened, but he soon had no choice but to swallow his words.
Moving tens of miles away in the blink of an eye is an unbelievable thing that goes far beyond normal logic.
But he also already knew it well. He even saw it clearly with his own eyes.
Mysterious phenomena related to dark streams.
The ghostly power of magic that cannot be explained with words or common sense.
“What a piece of shit!”
Quaaaang!
The ground splits like a spider’s web along the tip of my toes that I stamped down with anger.
It was at that moment that the palace’s low voice rang out beyond the strong roar.
“Even if what you say is true, your life is in danger because your limbs are torn. “Is there any possibility that he may have stopped breathing?”
Jin Tae-kyung shook his head helplessly.
“I do not know. But the chances of that happening would be slim.”
“why?”
“There are definitely beings called wizards, or rather sorcerers, there.”
“That means… … .”
“yes. It went back to its allies. “We can’t guess where it is, but the great wizard must have known exactly.”
Jin Tae-kyung added, staring at the arms and legs submerged in a pool of blood.
“Because I had faith that I could survive, I could have taken this gamble.”

Teleportation is a high-difficulty long-distance movement magic.
The coordinates of the starting point and destination must be accurate without any error, and must be activated after more thorough preparation than any other magic.
In modern society, even high-ranking wizards who made teleportation magic their specialty and livelihood were no exception.
No, on the contrary, since they knew the danger better than anyone else, they tended to pay more attention to it.
If the numbers are even slightly off during the process of manifesting a spell, you could become one with a rock or tree and die instantly.
or… … .
‘The limbs are separated.’
A thought that quietly flows from my heart.
Jin Tae-kyung looked at the fabric that had fallen from the owner’s body with heavy eyes.
It was no longer a sign of someone’s death.
It was proof that the great mage took a gamble with his life and succeeded.
‘It was a mistake. To be more certain, I should have ended it with my own hands.’
I didn’t expect it.
In such an urgent situation where the coordinates of the starting point change every moment, it is unexpected that the great mage would attempt teleportation.
Even in such an extremely unstable situation, there was no way that teleportation would succeed.
However, regret always comes one step too late, and Jin Tae-kyung had to continue walking down the path that unfolded before him.
The narrow and rough road, which is now a little clearer and closer, but somehow feels even further and distant.
In addition, towards the one person who will be waiting at the end.
‘Lord of heaven.’
Jin Tae-kyung quietly mulled over those two letters, which lingered only on the tip of his tongue, unable to come out as sound, like a bear’s gallbladder.
Who on earth is he?
For what purpose is it staining the entire world with blood, and beckoning towards itself from within that dark red curtain?
and.
What connection does it have with another being that has been lingering in my mind right now, or for a long time?
‘The devil king. Demon King Asmodeus.’
Ruler of the Demon World. Lord of demons.
An invader who tore the boundaries of dimensions with great power, destroyed all common sense and civilization, and drove billions of people into fear and death.
However, by finally falling at the hands of a single human being, he will now be remembered forever as a part of history.
‘Yeah, he’s dead. clearly.’
But why?
Why on earth?
Is that cursed being never leaving my mind?
Wow.
Jin Tae-kyung bit his lip until blood burst out.
Numerous lights and shadows seen over the years between modern times and martial arts.
However, the darkness cast by the two letters ‘dark heaven’ was deeper and thicker than anything else, and the existence of God at the center of it all had reached a point where it was difficult to even deny it.
Following all kinds of strange phenomena that completely destroy common sense, now even magic.
‘What on earth is waiting for you at the end?’
Jin Tae-kyung suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere in the far west.
The devil and the universe.
Heaven and Demon King.
The great enemy of my life, who I don’t know if he was originally one or a completely different individual, is somewhere out there in the west.
Gesturing towards the ‘chosen one’.
For some reason that no one knows exactly yet, but only he knows.
And despite knowing this fact, Jin Tae-kyung had to continue walking down this path.
Silently and cruelly. This path I chose with all my might.
Slosh.
Jin Tae-kyung stood up while stepping on a puddle of blood and took a steady step.
To finish this battle that is not over yet.
Toward the countless enemies who are continuing their bloody struggle to kill like soulless puppets even at this very moment.
“Can you hold on?”
“no.”
Jin Tae-kyung smiled faintly at the master who expressed concern at the sight of his student who looked like he was about to collapse at any moment.
“But you have to persevere. “Somehow.”
In the past and in the present.
As always.
Shhh!
Jin Tae-kyung rushed towards the enemies without hesitation.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with his old mentor.
With the arrow of strength already shooting across the air above your head.
And it wasn’t just the three of them who rushed to the battlefield to end this huge and terrible battle.
Buuuu!
Those who turned their heads to follow the sound of the horn that suddenly sounded could be seen.
A cloud of whitish dust sweeps across the vast snowy mountain range and crashes towards the battlefield.
At the head of countless men and horses encompassing thousands of water landscapes, a group of people fiercely waving torn flags and crying out as if they were vomiting blood.
“Blessed demon, annihilate heaven!”
Hundreds of shouts filled with pure energy fill the air. The flag waving in the wind goes with them.
Neither the blood scattered on the pure white cloth nor the torn pieces could make the meaning disappear.
It was pride.
It was also a poem written by an old man called Si-seong (詩聖) a long time ago to praise the Taoists of Simsanyugok.
“One long sword for self-defense, one long sword for self-defense, one long sword for self-defense, one long sword for self-defense.”
Following Jeokcheongang’s voice scattering on the wind, Gungseong opened his tightly closed lips.
“If you want to protect yourself with just a long sword, rely on your sword.”
And at that very moment.
Quad deud deuk!
In a short period of time, less than two hours.
The scales that would determine victory or defeat in this cruel battle, which consumed over ten thousand lives, were completely tilted.
No, it was broken.
Just as intended by an unknown person who prepared today’s stage somewhere thousands of miles away.
