< Episode 20 Jin-ui (5) >
A dead monster wolf with its muzzle torn, no, a monster.
This was not released to kill.
It was released to survive this.
But this thing is dead.
‘under……’
I was truly shocked.
For a moment, everyone could not take their mouths off at this sight.
Then, a warrior in red belts asked the exhausted boys.
“Who did it?”
At his question, the boys’ eyes naturally turned to someone.
Everyone was similar, but this boy was particularly handsome, with his whole body covered in blood.
He was Mok Gyeong-un.
‘…….Is it that guy again?’
There was a strange look in the eyes of the warriors in red belts.
I was interested because of what I saw in the battle for the iron ball, but I couldn’t help but be surprised by this one.
“Sir…Does this make sense?”
A warrior whispered as if he did not understand.
That’s because it seems difficult to deal with a monster of that size even if the internal attack is not prohibited.
But they made it like that with the spiracles blocked?
‘No matter how much I train my external skills, that…’
It’s impossible.
Even if I’m properly armed, I’m not sure if I can fight him.
The most senior warrior among the warriors of the Red Belt looked Mo Qingyun up and down.
The other boys look exhausted and exhausted, but their eyes are especially alive.
No, you don’t look tired.
‘no way?’
The senior warrior’s eyes narrowed with suspicion.
He said this.
“you. “Come here.”
“Is there something wrong?”
“Who said you could talk back?”
“……..”
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and approached the senior warrior.
Then the senior warrior roughly snatched Mok Gyeong-un’s wrist and immediately examined the condition of his body.
This was to check whether the spiracle was blocked or not.
But,
‘……It’s blocked.’
I thought maybe he had opened the spiracle, but no.
It was blocked as is.
After confirming this, I am even more amazed.
‘You raised this guy just from being a softwood swordsman?’
No matter how prestigious the martial arts family was, it was not a major family like Gupailbang.
I think this will be quite controversial.
This was the first time since Sihyeolgok was in operation.
* * *
The corpse of a monster, Galjeo, with its snout and head torn off and completely separated from its lower body.
The officer in Dobok, who was watching this, made a bewildered expression.
Even so, we took action to send a signal to Bangsulro Galjeo and have him return at the moment of dawn.
But he didn’t come back, so he felt strange and came all the way here.
Someone spoke to him like that.
“Is this possible?”
“yes?”
“I asked if it was possible.”
The person who asked the question was none other than Sihyeolgokju, wearing a demon mask.
He climbed the mountain belatedly, received a report from the warriors of the Red Belt, and arrived here to check on Galjeo’s body.
He, too, couldn’t help but be surprised.
From the beginning, the role of the monster Galger was an ordeal for the boys.
The purpose was to further maximize the will to survive by putting them in more extreme situations.
But killing this thing?
“This…ha…”
The commander in uniform gave no answer.
If a warrior who had learned martial arts had said this, he would have responded by saying, “It seems like he had great martial arts skills.”
But this was really unexpected.
‘Should I tell you this?’
What was even more difficult was Galjeo’s condition.
‘…….Becoming a Eucharist.’
Even if it wasn’t, I thought I was getting closer to the Eucharist.

However, not yet, I put this guy in with the thought that it might take a couple more months.
However, in that short period of time, it became a complete adult.
It had become a monster, not a beast.
‘I’m going crazy. ‘How did they do this?’
It is difficult for even trained warriors, third-rate, or second-rate warriors to handle it.
However, when it reaches the level of a monster, it will be difficult to catch it unless top-notch experts work together, so I couldn’t believe that one of the boys with blocked spiracles was able to catch it.
I had to say this, but I couldn’t bear it.
That’s because the beast alone could be said to be an extreme ordeal, and even if there was a protective space like a flag, a monster like that would almost be a massacre.
‘Should I say I’m lucky?’
It was fortunate that this guy was killed before any more accidents occurred.
However, it was difficult to completely confess this fact.
Accordingly, this was ruled out.
“To be honest, I don’t even understand how they caught it.”
“You don’t understand?”
“Where do you think humans have the strongest strength?”
“……Do you want to speak your mouth?”
“you’re right. It has the strongest bite force. Do you think it would be any different from an animal or something like this? “Unlike humans, things called beasts have lived a wild life and, accordingly, have the teeth strength to chew even bones.”
Humans eat the hard bones.
However, many animals are eaten with their bones.
Then, of course, the shape of the teeth and the grip strength had to develop accordingly.
“It would be understandable if you were lucky and stabbed the core, which is the heart of this thing, with a sharp object or something like that, but this is impossible with just a little bit of strength.”
It is only possible to tear it apart if you have a force that exceeds the teeth of the monster Galgeo.
At this, the demon mask nodded.
“Right.”
“Please tell me who did that….”
“That’s it.”
“yes?”
“Didn’t you hear me? I said it was over now. “Take its body and go.”
I heard what I wanted.
Therefore, there was no need to mention it further.
“……..All right. “If you do, I’ll just borrow a few people.”
“Do whatever you want.”
As Bangsa took the body with several warriors, a senior warrior at the rank of Daeju who was assisting him approached and said with an expression on his face.
“I checked.”
“Is the gold seal the same?”
“That’s right. “The Qi gates were blocked, so the true Qi could not pass through the body.”
“But they did it like that.”
“It is not enough to say that power is a business. In fact, he might be stronger than the child in the secret scriptures.”
“hmm.”
Can we understand this as being strong?
The evil spirit mask had more experience fighting the so-called Imamangryang when he was a child than he does now.
If I refer to my memories from that time, I still have doubts.
This means that he did this without even knowing how to do it.
‘I guess I’ll have to watch.’
I thought he wasn’t an ordinary guy, but this caught my interest even more.
There seems to be something that cannot be explained by the fact that he comes from a prestigious family.
The demon mask turned the topic.
“Has everything else been gathered?”
“yes.”
“What is the total number?”
“A total of 259 people survived.”
Of the 468 members, about half died.
Hearing this report from a high-level senior warrior, the demon mask nodded and took a step forward.
As we climbed to the top of the ridge, there was a large field, and there were boys sitting in rows and rows.
But this was the number that survived, and here again half was split.
Among the 259 people, there were 200 on the right side and 59 on the left. The majority of the 200 people looked comfortable, while the remaining 59 people were pale and shaking.
The reason was because they were the ones who couldn’t find the flag until dawn.
‘shit.’
‘Is this how I die?’
That’s why they were afraid.
The results had already been predicted.
It is death.
The demon mask standing in front of them opened its mouth.
“Congratulations on your success in capturing the flag. “The fifty-nine trash on the left also had a hard time trying to survive during the night.”
The words of extreme treatment were different.
In fact, this did not reach the ears of the 59 boys.
I just wanted to live.
The demon mask then turned its head towards them.
-thud! thud! thud!
Their hearts were beating loudly.
The moment the demon mask gave its order, it seemed as if the warriors in red belts were going to cut off their own heads at any moment.
however,
“Fifty-nine scum, go down that river.”
‘!?’
The eyes of the 59 boys widened at his command.
Naturally, I thought they would kill me on the spot, but I couldn’t help but wonder when they told me to follow the robed robber down the mountain.
Is it really possible to save my life?
-Roaring!
Color began to appear on their faces.
The warriors in red belts shook their heads at that sight.
It was never a good thing to be told to follow the directions.
I didn’t want to talk about what was going to happen in the future because I was so happy that I could survive for a very short period of time.
“Shut up and get out.”
Those who liked them soon shut their mouths under the pressure of the evil spirit mask.
Of course, the grinning was still there.
So, 59 people pulled a cart and went down the mountain following the procession that was collecting Galjeo’s body and the bodies of the dead people.
‘Why are you making those facial expressions?’
‘There’s something there.’
I don’t know who went down, but the 200 boys who saw the expressions of the warriors in red belts and had a rough idea of the situation felt fortunate to see them going down.
What is not included there.
While doing so, the demon mask opened its mouth again.
“ruler. Are these guys here the ones who found the flag?”
“……”
“Now you’re making some useful looks.”
He said he was satisfied with the demon mask.
As expected, the boys’ eyes were noticeably different from last night.
Even before the battle for the iron ball, I felt very immature, but now, even though we are all exhausted, our eyes have become closer to rawness.
After suffering with blood on his hands, he became ferocious.
‘It’s worth choosing.’
It is said that it is a task to select Sihyeolgok in a different sense, and it was here.
But among these people, there was one who particularly stood out.
“……”
It was Mokkilun.
There was so much blood that the clothes had turned dark red.
However, many of the other boys were haggard and still trying to catch their breath, but they were the only ones who looked very normal.
Moreover, his facial expression is particularly relaxed compared to others.
On the other hand,
-Purrrrr!
The group members around Mok Gyeong-un were particularly alert.
It seems as if he is reluctant to be near Mok Gyeong-un.
‘You’re afraid.’
The demon mask could guess their reaction.
Normally, if we cooperated with each other and succeeded in protecting the flag, we would show trust in our fellow group members.
However, being so afraid was an unusual case.
‘What have you done?’
I got curious.
But right now, I couldn’t show any particular interest in one person.
The demon mask continued speaking again.
“good. It’s time for selection again.”
‘Selection?’
The expressions of the boys, who had been relieved to hear the word “selection,” turned to bewilderment.
Of course, not everyone was like that.
In the meantime, the groups were internally cheering as if they had guessed this situation.
While doing so, the demon mask pointed to the left and said.
“Those who realize the true meaning of the flag should go to the left.”
“What do you mean by truth?”
“What are you talking about?”
-Roaring!
The boys were excited.
While doing so, some people got up from their seats.
Then, with a triumphant expression on his face, he moved to the left.
Of course, the same was true for Mokgyeongun’s Joe.
Looking at the boys moving like that, several groups tried to move to the left without even knowing what was going on.
“If you are caught moving without knowing what the true intention is, you will be summarily executed.”
-Startle!
I had no choice but to stop at this warning.
So the boys were divided into left and right again.
Of the 200 boys, there were 80 boys on the left side and 120 boys on the right side.
‘What on earth is true intention?’
‘We didn’t pass?’
The 120 boys on the right couldn’t hide their anxiety.
When I used the expression “selection,” I was afraid that I might die if I didn’t pass it.
While doing so, the demon mask looked at the boys remaining on the right and said.
“This is your limit.”
“……”
“Be thankful for one thing. “As of now, you have become low-ranking warriors of the Heaven and Earth Council.”
‘!?’
The boys’ eyes widened at this declaration of the demon mask.
They were afraid that they might die because they could not pass the gate.
But it was a completely unexpected result.
However, those who were relieved that they had survived rather than died collapsed on the floor as their legs seemed to have lost their strength.
“ha……”
“I lived, I lived.”
It is said that most people who enter are dead and leave with their bodies.
The joy of surviving here was so great.
On the other hand, nearly half of the people looked sour as if they were not in a good mood.
That’s right,
‘Damn it!’
‘A low-level warrior.’
The purpose of most of those who entered Sihyeolgok was never to become low-level warriors.
The purpose of risking one’s life to pass through the gate was to be chosen.
However, they failed at this.
‘Stupid things.’
‘You took the test simply.’
Seeing them like this, the 80 people realized the true intention of the gate and looked at them with a sneer on their faces.
This was because they were qualified to go to a higher place.
While doing so, the demon mask took out something from its arms.
It was a silver plaque with the number 2 written on it.
‘ah!’
The eyes of several people, including Jusalgok’s Yeomga, who recognized this, sparkled.
It was a badge given to those who passed the gate first.
‘Are you trying to determine the chief?’
If that was the case, I couldn’t help but be interested.
They knew in advance the information that having that increase would be quite advantageous in the end.
However, unlike the battle for the iron ball, there was nothing special about this one to determine superiority.
The good thing is that we found out that there were two types of flags, and even this was a lot because there were 80 people.
‘What are you going to do?’
While I was wondering this, the demon mask muttered.
“How do we decide on a senior? “Should I call him someone who has memorized the nine precepts?”
Several people, including Yeomga, shook their shoulders at these words.
That’s because they secured two types of flags with compositions in the beginning, so they succeeded in memorizing them in advance.
I was confident if that was the case.
“Or should I say it’s the one who shows off Gugyeol the best?”
Some of the shoulders that had been shaking due to the subsequent mutterings calmed down.
They were busy defending and capturing the flag all night, so although they barely had time to memorize the rules, they didn’t have time to practice.
This was also the case with Yeomga in Jusalgok and Yeonmuung in Bigyeongmun.
I was able to unfold Choshik according to the verses I had memorized right away, but since it was my first time unfolding it, I was not confident that I could unfold it perfectly.
In fact, it would be the same for anyone.
‘But the conditions are the same.’
First of all, if I was asked to do a vegetarian meal, I was definitely going to do it.
While doing so, the demon mask spoke.
“good. I guess I’ll have to do this. “Is there anyone among them who can properly explain what the phrases on the flag are?”
As if waiting for that question, someone raised their hand and quickly stood up first.
-Pot!
“It’s swordsmanship!”
At this shout, snorts erupted here and there.
That’s because anyone who memorized or even looked at the nine rules could know that it was a sword technique.
“Are you saying that?”
The boy sat down quietly, as if he knew he had made a mistake just by looking at the cold look in the demon mask’s eyes.
At that time, Jusalgok’s Yeomga raised his hand and stood up.
“It is a quick sword technique in which the attack and defense aimed at the three major yo-hyeols and the six major yo-hyeols are integrated, and the style changes depending on the use.”
‘ah……’
At this cheap explanation, Yeon Woo-mung of the secret scriptures licked his appetite as if he was disappointed.
So did others.
It succinctly and accurately explained the characteristics of swordsmanship.
No further explanation was necessary.
‘How do you feel?’
Jusalgok’s Yeomga looked at Mok Gyeong-un and Big Gyeong-mun’s Yeon Mu-woong in turn, with a triumphant expression on his face.
There was no need to look at Moharang in Mohwa’s room as he was lying down after receiving treatment.
He was confident that this victory was his.
The demon mask opened its mouth.
“It’s quite impressive that you figured out that much during that time.”
‘it’s okay.’
The song of Jusalgok made me feel happy inside.
Looking at the demon mask’s reaction, it seemed like what he figured out was correct to some extent.
A strange look appeared in Mo Yu-cheon’s eyes.
I didn’t say anything first because I didn’t have any particular desire to be chief.
But rather,
‘You have an excellent eye for detail.’
It was almost identical to what he had figured out.
Although he was a cunning guy, his talent for radish certainly seemed to be no less than his own.
I was curious to see what the level would be like if the gold gate was removed.
“Hmm.”
As he was doing so, the demon mask glanced at the senior warrior of the Great Lord level.
Then the senior warrior also nodded.
In any case, they were engaged in a battle to defend the flag for nearly three hours, fighting to the death without being able to rest or sleep.
Just understanding it to this extent was impressive enough.
The demon mask held out a silver plate and said.
“good. This gateway is…..”
It was before I could finish speaking.
“Isn’t it just a checkup, not just swordsmanship?”
‘!?’
The demon mask frowned and turned its head.
Who just said that?
As I was doing this, the person who said those words was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
‘under!’
At this, the demon mask stuck out its tongue as if it was absurd.
That’s because this sword technique had a simple form, so it was not possible to tell whether it could be used as a checkup just by looking at the shape of the sword.
It was difficult to notice unless you were a swordsman who had at least reached a high level with the sword.
But the bright blue baby was able to tell the difference just by its globule?
‘What, what is it?’
It was Cheom-ga who laughed inwardly at the word “medical check-up” that came out of Mok-gyeong-un’s mouth out of nowhere.
But what is this reaction of the demon mask?
