holding hands (3)
“……”
I pondered with cold eyes.
Yeonwi looked at me with both hands on his waist and asked in a small voice, asking what I was doing.
“There’s no time, Seo Eun-hyeon! Shouldn’t you use your special skill to quickly remodel this castle and create a trap?”
Normally, I would just use Yeonwi’s words as a reference and take action in the opposite direction.
The reason why she acted like this was because the vast majority of her actions were based on Yang Su-jin’s actions, and I was the polar opposite of Yang Su-jin.
‘But honestly, Yuk-Rin, that guy is untrustworthy.’
The betrayal was so obvious that I couldn’t just leave it alone.
After thinking about it for a while, I quickly made a decision.
“I wouldn’t go out of my way to turn Jeongryong Palace into a trap.”
“No, Eun-Hyeon, what does that mean…”
“There’s no need to make a trap.”
“As expected of the leader!”
Yeonwi was about to complain, but after listening to what I had to say, he quickly changed his stance and cheered.
I got up from my seat, looked at the flower in the north and asked.
“In the King of Conquest’s opinion, is it possible to subdue Princess Jeongryong with the King of Conquest’s fleet?”
At my question, she looked thoughtful for a moment and then said,
“It would be possible if we had brought the entire fleet, but it is difficult now with only one-third of the fleet’s strength.”
“Is that prediction based on the power calculated by including Kim Young-hoon?”
“Yes, that’s right. The normal fleet’s power is measured by including the Great Man, the Lingguang God Demon Kim Young-Hoon.”
“I see. Then what if I give you the combined power of our school, Taesu Yukgeukgwiwang?”
Buk Hyang-hwa looked at Jeon Myeong-hun for a moment and then seemed to be testing his strength.
“Then… it’s possible. However…”
“but?”
“To stop the Jeongryong Palace Lord’s subordinates, we need someone who is skilled in one-on-one combat…”
I looked at Oh Hyeon-seok and Kim Yeon at those words.
Both of them were skilled in one-on-many combat.
‘It seems like Kim Yeon-eun and Buk Hyang-hwa are a bit awkward, so I’ll send Oh Hyeon-seok…’
“I’ll go.”
“hmm?”
But unexpectedly, Kim Yeon volunteered.
“I’m a little worried about sending this idiot off alone. I think it’s right for me to help him as his older sister.”
She looked at Buk Hyang-hwa, as if she was going to help her clumsy younger sister, and Buk Hyang-hwa just laughed in vain, as if she found it ridiculous.
“Rather, shouldn’t I be helping you? To be honest, our fleet power far outweighs yours?”
“Really? So you were taken hostage by me?”
The two people glared at each other, their eyes sparkling.
‘It seemed like it had gotten a little better until a few days ago…’
It felt like everything had returned to its original state.
‘No, it isn’t.’
I laughed in vain as I read the emotions between the two people.
“…Okay, then let’s have the volunteer King of Strange Demons, Kim Yeon, support the Northern Fleet.”
As I stood up from my seat and snapped my fingers, all the barriers in Jeongryongdo were suddenly distorted by gravity.
An emergency has been declared in Jeongryongdo.
“Support the fleet of King Bukhyanghwa, the King of Conquest, Kim Yeon, the King of Strange Ghosts, and help in the battle between the Bukhyang Fleet and the Lord of Light, the God of Conquest, and capture the Princess Jeongryong, Yuk Rin.”
“Your name!”
It was quite funny to capture the host as the one who had been invited, but what can you do?
‘Now, even if I get hit in the back of the head, it’s not just me.’
If I am deceived, the entire Mugeuk Church will be deceived.
Even though I had the ability to anticipate other people’s intentions, I couldn’t risk gambling with the church.
Risks must be prevented in advance.
Kookookookookook!
I raised my voice and gave orders to the demons of the Gwangum area in the language of the Ming demon world.
[Occupy.]
Eighteen heads sprouted from my shoulders and my body turned black.
Woof woof woof!
Ooooh-
AA AA AA-
Countless ghosts began to howl and cover Jeongryongdo.
* * *
Kookookookookook!
Wei Yun, a half-human, half-fish Yao tribe from the early Chukji period who lived peacefully on Jeongryongdo Island, was on his way home today after gathering clams.
Normally I would have been able to go back right away, but today I had to go around and back the way I came.
Because today was the day when distinguished guests came to Jeongryongdo, and an official document had been handed down that a half-fisherman, third-class citizen like her, should not be seen in front of the distinguished guests.
Knock, knock!
After picking up the clams, she set foot on the ground and her body began to change.
The half-human, half-fish tribe had a unique characteristic.
Its special feature was that it could move easily on both land and water without using magic.

Her body, which had a lower half that was fish-shaped, transformed into human legs for the lower half and into a fish for the upper half.
Wei Yan, who took the form of a land animal, hummed with his fish mouth and went a long way with the clam.
Although it was a longer distance than usual, it was okay.
Rather, it was peaceful because there were no second-class subjects who would bother her without even passing by the main street.
Wei Yun was wondering what to eat with the canned clams with his family today.
Her village, a village of abandoned fishing villages where third-class citizens lived, was peaceful.
Although her Ban-eo tribe was the most discriminated against among the third-class citizens, it was still a kind village where, whenever something happened, they would call Wei Yun’s family to resolve it and share any leftover food with them.
She thought the abandoned fishing village was a really nice town.
Kkiyaaaaah!
Woof woof!
Ooooooh-
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the entire Jeongryongdo Island, and scary ghosts began to cover the sky.
Wei Yun was shocked by this strange grotesque incident and hurried to her house.
In Jeongryongdo, there was a ban on flying that prohibited second-class citizens and below from using flying techniques, so they could not fly.
And finally, when Wei Yun ran to his village.
She saw her village burning.
Dark ghosts and bizarrely shaped cursed dolls were burning down the village through naturalization.
Kkiyaaaaah!
Kkaaa!
“You, Yuna! Run away!”
“You shouldn’t come here!”
Wei Yun’s parents looked at her and shouted in panic.
She dropped the clams she had picked up today and took a step back.
[Kkiyaaaaah! It’s the leader’s order!]
[Hiyaaaa! The leader has ordered us to check the census and issuance of identification cards in Jeongryongdo! Everyone, gather together for a moment!]
[Oooooh- The leader has ordered us to serve with the utmost kindness and make sure the residents don’t feel anxious! Let’s burn down the abandoned village for a while to disinfect it and build a new building!]
[Kekekekekekeke, you high-powered demons. I’ll show you a taste of the architectural skills of the famous demon world.]
The ghosts began to scream in a language that was impossible to understand, and they began to capture the demons of the abandoned fishing village, driving them somewhere, burning down the buildings, and building something grotesque.
Wei Yun ran away.
The strangely laughing ghosts and cursed dolls turned her peaceful daily life upside down.
Wei Yun was so scared that he could only run away with his frail human lower body.
And then, strange puppet soldiers appeared from between the bushes.
The spinning heads of the cursed dolls looked at Wei Yun and screamed in a strange language.
[Little Miss, are you lost?]
[It’s dangerous to go alone, Miss. We’ll take you to your parents. Where is your house?]
“Gyaaaah!”
Wei Yun screamed in a new voice and ran away again.
The cursed dolls chased her, screaming in a horrible demonic language.
[Hey girl, that’s the direction of the deep sea!]
[Come back!]
“Hey, get out of here! Get out of here… ah!”
And then she stumbled at the end of Jeongryongdo.
Wei Yun fell into the deep sea with tears in his eyes.
In her eyes, she saw countless ships flying flags written in the language of the High Powers.
The ships’ flags read:
[Northern Fleet under the Mugeuk Church]
‘Ah… I see. The demonic cult from another world, and the conquering fleet of the King of Conquest…’
Wei Yun fell into the abyss, her eyes fixed on the culprits who ruined her daily life.
It is a later story that Wei Yun, a half-human, half-fish tribe, falls into the deep sea hidden beneath Jeongryongdo Island, gains a chance there, and becomes a warrior who burns with revenge against the Mugeuk Sect.
And then, leaving her behind, the northern fleet set sail.
Kookookookookook!
Buk Hyang-hwa, the captain of the Northern Fleet, glanced at Kim Yeon next to her with uneasy eyes.
“Why don’t you just have fun and drink and capture the Jeongryong Palace’s men who are escaping from Jeongryong Island?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, but it would be better to catch them when they go to help the princess. They’re running away like this now, but they’ll gather together again when they come to help the princess.”
“Ha! It’s a bit shameful to make such an excuse without thinking of capturing at least one more person quickly.”
“I can’t really hear what anyone said while crying over that ugly person.”
Bukhyanghwa’s face turned bright red.
“I, I…uh…I’ve never done that before. Why are you in the captain’s cabin?”
“What if you lose your memory like a carp while you’re out catching carp? Just like the last time I barged into the captain’s quarters, the servants of Jeongryong Palace might come to attack you, so I told you I was protecting you, didn’t I?”
“I said that it was an exceptional case and that there was no need for an escort, right? And I’m not going to catch carp, I’m going to catch crucian carp. Aren’t you more intelligent than a carp?”
Kim Yeon and Buk Hyang-hwa glared at each other and ground their teeth.
“Drive the fleet faster, you ying-ying.”
“Who is Ying-Ying? Don’t call me by my first name!”
“Well, I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to Yingying who clung to me and cried. Why are you hurt? If you said it wasn’t you?”
“profit…”
Bukhyanghwa glared at Kim Yeon with a pale face, but eventually focused on commanding the fleet.
Kookookookookook!
And then, after a while.
Yuk Rin and Baek Rin wearing vermilion robes are in the sight of Buk Hyang Hwa and Kim Yeon.
And then Yuk-yo came in, having been grabbed by the hair by Yuk-rin.
* * *
Yuk Rin grabbed Yuk Yoo’s hair with a blank expression and looked back.
Yukyo was covered in blood all over his body, unable to even maintain flight, and was hanging on to Yukrin’s grasp. Baekrin looked tired of seeing him like that.
Yuk Rin met the gaze of the Northbound Fleet and asked.
“His Majesty the Conqueror is enjoying a banquet, so why did you come all the way here to greet him? It seems like you’ve brought a bit too much equipment for a walk.”
At those words, the first ship of the Northern Fleet.
On top of the bow, a man in black martial arts uniform.
The magician Kim Young-hoon appeared and answered.
“Haha, I feel a bit sorry to say this to Princess Jeongryong, but we just recently finalized our decision to take over this area of the sea between the Mugeuk Sect and the Northern Fleet.”
“Hoo…”
However, Yuk Rin did not look particularly surprised.
‘Well, I expected it the moment I saw his face.’
He recalled the face of Yeonwi, a soldier of the Mugeuk Church.
Yeonwi didn’t know him, but Yukrin knew her face very well.
About 40,000 years ago, when Yukrin had just reached the age of Cheonin.
A human race from the Gwanghan realm who turned the high-power world upside down at that time.
The King of Betrayal!
‘A person who betrayed the Black Ghost Bone Palace that taught him how to accumulate the Five Fortunes in the world of the famous ghosts, and after crossing over to the world of the powerful ghosts, he betrayed the force that taught him the situation in the world of the powerful ghosts, and after continuously switching forces and accumulating the Strong and Peaceful Axis, he eventually escaped through the power of his own clan in the world of the vast, and I heard that he even betrayed his own disciple and fiancée.’
Although her fame had faded considerably after 40,000 years, at least Yuk-rin clearly remembered her face and reputation.
‘A crazy human who betrayed my uncle’s Aengryong Palace forces, who helped the Geumwi settle in the high-powered realm, and ran away with one million of Aengryong Palace’s ancient stones.’
Even without that, Yuk Rin’s uncle, Prince of the Aengryong Palace, Yuk Woong, who did not have much time left at the time, passed away from grief due to the shock.
‘If King Conqueror Bukhyanghwa was famous for stabilizing the seas after conquering them, Geumwi was famous for causing trouble here and there like a loach. Starting with the incident where Geumwi went wild and captured the eel tribe’s herding machine, saying he was looking for an elixir to restore his fiancée’s stamina, and then stole the bear gallbladder of the bear tribe’s herding machine, who had been hiding him…’
The Goryeo clan gave the Geumwi, who lived as if his life consisted only of countless frauds, collusion, and betrayals, the nickname of the King of Betrayal.
Since he was such a traitorous king, Yuk Rin expected that the Mugeuk Sect would strike him from behind.
That’s why he prepared to hit Yeonwi’s back of the head first.
‘But as expected, the human race is truly unstoppable. Before I could hit you in the back of the head, you tried to corner me first. And you were an invited guest at that!’
Yuk Rin asked Kim Young Hoon with her eyes wide open.
“…I didn’t know that the power of the conquering king with his fame and pride would persecute the princess like this. Didn’t the conquering fleet only conquer tyrannical princesses?”
“you’re right.”
Kim Young-hoon nodded.
“But did the princess actually commit such great tyranny in the Wijeonghae area?”
“He is not.”
“What? So you’re saying that you’re persecuting the princess for no reason?”
“There is a misunderstanding. It is true that the Conqueror’s Fleet is hostile to the princesses who commit tyranny. However, there is another reason why we are hostile to the princesses.”
Tsk tsk tsk!
A golden light began to radiate from Kim Young-hoon’s entire body.
“Those who tried to oppose us first were all conquered without fail. The reason we became a fleet of conquerors and conquered three sea areas was because they threatened us first, even though they were tyrannical. And the same goes for Princess Jeongryong.”
Yuk Rin, who had been locking eyes with Kim Young Hoon for a while, was able to notice something.
“…I see. I’ve heard a lot about you, Neunggwangshinma. They say you learned a special technique to hide your energy, but that wasn’t the case. You’re… the same type as the owner of Yeomgolho!”
Salt Bone Lake.
It is a notorious pirate group formed by the Touhou clan and several vicious foreign races.
It was the name of the flagship of the Touma Pirates.
The captain of the Tooma Pirates, Jin Ma-yeol, the owner of the salt bone ship that refines all of your precious salt and uses it as the keel of your ship!
He caressed his bracelet.
“Can you still read my mind? I’ve maxed out the magic tool’s performance.”
Kim Young-hoon silently pulled out his sword.
Yuk Rin clicked his tongue.
“I see. It seems he is better than that Jin Ma-yeol. I think the name of the thing he was familiar with was Tubo…?”
However, Kim Young-hoon’s eyes twitched as if he was displeased.
“His and mine are completely different. What he learns is called Tubo, and what I learn is called Mu-gong (martial arts).”
“Is it different?”
“That’s obvious. From the beginning…”
Kim Young-hoon hung up his Neunggwangdo with an annoyed expression.
“That man is not a warrior.”
“…? Of course. That guy is a nobleman.”
“…Okay. Since you won’t understand anyway… just surrender quietly.”
“under…”
Yuk Rin laughed bitterly and began to cover his entire body with the territory.
[Arrogant… Do you dare to persecute me…?]
Kookookookookook!
His entire body seemed to swell, and he became a giant crimson dragon surrounding his territory.
He seemed excited and picked up and put down the nearby Heaven and Earth Spirits, but his heart was cold.
‘I covered my body with the realm and activated my magic to the max. No matter how much I learned the pitching, it will be harder to read my emotions.’
As he had expected, Kim Young-hoon stopped reading his thoughts and started speculating.
Yuk Rin seemed excited, but he clicked his tongue with a cold gaze.
‘Kim Young-hoon, the God of Light. The Northern Fleet of the Conqueror. And… the Taesu of the Combined Machine that was almost overwhelming Jin Ma-yeol, and the human woman who looked unusual. I’ll take it.’
He threw away the six yolks appropriately and then emitted light from his mouth.
Kim Young-hoon’s golden sword cut through the breath of flesh.
Yuk Rin thought as he watched Kim Young Hoon and Jeon Myeong Hoon flying towards him.
‘It doesn’t matter anyway. I’ll just give in today. If I can dig into their insides like this… I can enter Bongrae Island and become the final victor…!’
* * *
“Sign it, Yukrin.”
The northern fleet captured Yuk Rin and pushed the high ground in front of him.
The original contract terms written on the current document were completely revised by the court.
Because of that, Yuk Rin had to go from being our ally to being demoted to a level close to slavery.
In the end, in front of everyone, he signed a contract to become a quasi-slave of the Mugeuk Church under the name of the Holy Master Haerin of the High Power System.
I asked Yuk Rin a question.
“Yukrin. You have always hidden something from us and tried to betray us. The leader can read minds, so tell us what you have hidden from us.”
“Haha, you’re really amazing. Are you using the interest method?”
“…Although the feeling is like that, let’s say it’s similar.”
He told us the truth, his voice dripping with laughter.
“…I tried to betray the Mugeuk Church and you all.”
“Why?”
But, as I was asking the reason, Yeonwi shouted at me and said to me.
She was looking at Yukrin, and she had a feeling that something was coming to her mind.
“Cultist! The high-powered clans are famous for betrayal, fraud, and collusion anyway, so there’s no need to listen to them! The reasons don’t mean anything since it’s just their nature. So rather than ‘why’, it’s more important to hear ‘how’ they tried to betray us!”
‘Have you been through a lot in the high-power field before?’
First, I changed the question according to the words of Yeonwi, who was an experienced person in the high-power field.
“How could you betray us when you offered us a contract at the local level?”
And then, Yuk-rin smiled and said.
“When you enter Bongrae Island, the power of the Hyeon-go-ji is almost completely destroyed. Inside the barrier, countless covenants and contracts lose their effect.”
“So you’re trying to betray us because of Bongrae Island’s characteristics.”
“That’s what it is.”
“then…”
I continued my interrogation of the people who had entered into a slave contract.
* * *
The half-fish girl, Wei Yun, opened her eyes, squirming.
“Hey, here…?”
It was a dark place.
“I… didn’t jump into the deep sea?”
She looked around at the real water surroundings, unlike the deep sea that was somehow made up of dimensions.
The area was filled with salt water.
Wei Yun, whose lower body had transformed into that of a fish, walked around the area.
Then, she realized that she had fallen into a place like a lake, and she swam to the edge of the lake.
“Here…?”
What she saw at the edge of the lake was a statue of a giant sea dragon.
