Return to the Immortal’s Tale Episode 376
At sea (4)
Wow!
Kim Yeon asked after crushing Buk Hyang-hwa’s handcuffs.
“Oh, by the way… If we do this, it won’t be caught in the conscious realm, right?”
Bukhyanghwa clicked her tongue and said.
“No, you let it go without even thinking about that?”
“Ugh… I had a gut feeling that I could do something.”
“Well, that’s not wrong. After all, the Yeomgolho is like a huge country inside a Seopmyeongham. And because of the waves that the salt water emits, its conscious area is quite limited, so it can’t even realize that we’re doing this.”
“Haha, I said I knew everything and did it.”
“Stop talking nonsense and help me with this, sis.”
Bukhyanghwa unclenched her fingers and placed her hand on the wall of the ship.
Chijijik―
All over her body appeared golden patterns, and half purple and half pink patterns.
“What, you have a tattoo too?”
“It’s not a tattoo, it’s a physical feature.”
“Oh sorry….”
Kim Yeon scratched her head and lowered her head slightly, and Buk Hyang-hwa watched her for a moment before starting to move her hands.
Using the broken pieces of handcuffs as material, she created a small work tool. Starting with that, numerous pieces of equipment began to appear around Buk Hyang-hwa.
At first, Kim Yeon yawned while looking at the flower, but as time passed, her eyes grew wide.
“What, what the heck is this….”
* * *
Kookookookookook!
A small sea area in the high-altitude region.
There appeared a demon king with 19 heads and his subordinates.
“Is this the place?”
“okay.”
Seo Eun-hyeon, the 19-headed ghost king and the ultimate ghost king, had shining eyes while tying a pure white ritual thread to the sea below.
“Down here, I can feel the strange ghost king Kim Yeon. The conquering king Buk Hyang Hwa and the guardian ghost king Baek Rin are also there.”
“So, can I just go down and come back now?”
The six-armed brain god, the six-axis demon king Jeon Myeong-hun asked a question.
But Seo Eun-hyeon shook her head.
“According to the locals, it is dangerous to jump into the deep sea of the high-altitude zone without permission. Furthermore, the place where you can feel the sea breeze is not the coastal area, but the deepest of the deep seas.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
Jeon Myeong-hun made a puzzled expression and Seo Eun-hyeon smiled and spread her arms.
Kookookookookook!
The nearby heavenly and earthly spirits began to flock to Seo Eun-hyeon through his great magic sword.
“What should I do?”
Woohoo!
He laughed as he pulled out his colorless glass sword.
[To avoid reaching the deep sea, we have no choice but to split the sea and proceed.]
As his words resonated, all the executives of the Mugeuk Church who came with Seo Eun-Hyeon began to exert their strength.
Jeon Myeong-hun smiled and spread out his six arms.
Kookookookook!
Jeon Myeong-hun’s realm is unfolding.
Hapdo area.
It’s a heavy rain and thunderstorm.
Kwajijijik!
In an instant, the nearby space was transformed into another world where red thunder fell like heavy rain.
Thunderbolts cover the sky!
However, according to Jeon Myeong-hun’s will, the lightning went straight through his group, causing no effect, and they fell to the bottom.
Kwarrrrrrung!
The area of enemy lightning that fell recklessly began to push away the sea in the dimension below.
And then, other leaders of the Mugeuk Sect began to exert force against him.
Kwakwakwakwang!
Countless human, demonic, or magical powers pour in.
And then, curses and blessings began to form on both of Seo Eun-hyeon’s hands.
The energy of yin and yang and the five elements began to settle in the dimensional sea below where the thunderbolt fell.
[Taesan!]
Phaaaat!
[Hot topic!]
A pure white light began to swirl.
* * *
Jin Ma-yeol blinked his eyes.
Kookookookookook!
His salt lake was shaking violently.
Phaaaat!
Someone came running to the captain’s room using a magic spell while Jin Ma-yeol was there.

Jin Ryu was the second-in-command of the Yeomgolho and the ship’s chief engineer.
“What is it, First Officer! Is it the enemy?”
“No, Captain! The Saltwater Ship is mad!”
“what?”
“The dragon’s keel is shaking violently and is screaming!”
“What kind of dragon is that eating grass!?”
However, after some time, Jin Ma-yeol, who had moved to the keel of the ship with Jin Ryu, was able to understand what it meant.
Zzrrrrrr!
The keel of the salt lake, made of salt crystals, was making a sound similar to the sound made by the mating of the two nobles.
Jin Ma-yeol looked at this Yeomjeong, who was spitting out a pure white light and screaming, with a bewildered expression.
“T, what the hell is going on here!?”
Jin Ma-yeol was embarrassed.
Although he had lived for about ten thousand years, he had never heard of salt making such a strange sound.
He looked confused for a moment, then seemed to think of something and flinched.
“I see. Is that a deep sea monster?”
“Are there any deep-sea monsters that can arouse your senses?”
“Well, there are countless records of worlds in the deep sea of the high-power system, so there could be such things… There could be deep-sea monsters nearby, so I will activate the Great Secret Technique. Tell everyone to prepare.”
“Yes, Captain!”
Jin Ma-yeol clicked his tongue and then went back to the captain’s cabin.
And he sat down in the center of the captain’s cabin, in the middle of the huge formation, and began to conclude the agreement.
Woohoo!
His domain began to spread out around him.
And then his formation was activated, amplifying the area of the True Demon’s Flame and starting to cover the entire Salt Bone Lake.
Hapdo area.
The Great Hidden Dragon Spirit Sea.
For a moment, it seemed as if the dragon’s roar was heard, and then the realm of the Jinma-yeol quickly covered the hull, and soon the hull of the Yeomgol-ho became one with the deep-sea scenery nearby, disappearing into hiding without being noticed by anyone.
Jin Ma-yeol sat down and focused on the area, sending out a sound throughout the ship.
“Captain’s order. It is believed that a suspicious deep-sea creature is currently surrounding the Yeomgolho. That is why the Yeomgolho’s keel is making an eerie noise. We will cover the hiding area until the deep-sea creature has completely passed and the keel’s response has disappeared, so all crew members are requested to remain quiet…”
Jin Ma-yeol, who had been sending out messages like that for a while, suddenly closed his mouth and was unable to continue speaking.
Jin Ma-yeol, who had been sitting and concentrating for a while, opened his eyes wide.
“Damn, the prisoners are acting suspiciously! Everyone, go to the cells and subdue them!”
Since the domain of the combined Taesu was assimilated into their consciousness, any Taesu who entered the domain could perceive all of its actions.
And Jin Ma-yeol, who covered Yeomgol-ho, gritted his teeth as he watched Kim Yeon and Buk Hyang-hwa acting suspiciously in the prison cell.
‘Damn it, the King of Conquerors…!’
He wanted to stand up and subdue them right away, but he couldn’t move freely because the suspicious deep-sea creature was stimulating the keel of the Saltwater Tank, and all he could do was chew his lips.
* * *
Jin Ryu, the vice-captain, led his men with an indifferent expression and headed towards the lower level where the prison cells were.
‘They’re all just boring things, so there’s no point in fighting them.’
The King of Conquest and the King of Strange Ghosts were skilled at manipulating puppets.
That’s why all the Pirates of the Two-Nobles who fought them had to fight puppets, and for the Pirates who could only satisfy their lust by fighting with their opponents, the puppet magicians were not attractive opponents.
The only one Jinryu liked was Baekrin, the ghost king he fought when capturing them, but Baekrin was a ghost, so he could not mate with anyone who was not also a ghost.
In other words, the members of the Mugeuk Church were all beings who had no desire to fight and no point in fighting from the perspective of a noble family.
“A puppet master? What on earth does that mean! Back in my day, puppet masters were true fighters who fought for themselves, leaving the puppets as mere aids, but these days, all puppet masters are just weird guys!”
Jinryu entered the prison cell area, cursing Kim Yeon and Buk Hyanghwa for putting the puppets first as if spitting them out.
And, what Jinryu saw when he entered the prison cell was tens of thousands of complex organs.
“What, what the heck is this…?”
Clank clank clank… .
Before they knew it, their cell block had been converted into a bizarre labyrinth.
The labyrinth was a straight line, but powerful-looking machinery and weapons were protruding all along the straight path, and countless hideous-looking puppets were lined up between them.
And at the end of the labyrinth, Kim Yeon was smiling bitterly and stretching out her arms.
From her fingertips, threads of consciousness were sprouting out, connecting to countless puppets, and behind Kim Yeon, Buk Hyang-hwa, who had already equipped her with spider-legged puppet equipment on her back, was continuing to modify her back.
Jinryu said with a hollow laugh.
“The King of Conquest and the King of Strange Ghosts. I had heard of their reputations, but I didn’t know they were this good. However, this is useless. If you surrender now, I will just put you in a cell and end it, but if you resist, I will tear off your limbs and restrain you.”
However, Kim Yeon silently wiggled one finger.
Woohoo!
Flash!
And then, the three mass-produced Seo General weapons that Kim Yeon had learned from Seo Eun-hyeon and modified, shot out rays from their mouths.
Kwaaaaang!
Jinryu was hit by the beam of General Seo, who was at the level of Wonyoung Daewonman, and took a step forward while blinking his eyes.
“Well, fine. If you insist on drinking the punishment drink, then so be it.”
Kuung!
The Touhou tribe was almost indistinguishable from the human race in appearance.
Another thing is that the Tougui tribe are born with a lot of muscle all over their bodies, and as they grow, their muscles swell up and horns grow on their foreheads.
The more horns a person had, the more talented they were considered to be among the Tougui tribe, and those with fewer horns were treated very lowly even within the Tougui tribe.
The royal family of the Tugui tribe had seven horns, while the highest nobles had five or six.
The middle nobility has four.
The lower nobility had three, the commoners had one or two, and slaves had their horns removed so they were hornless.
Jin Ma-yeol, the captain of the Touma Pirates, was the highest noble with five horns, while his second-in-command, Jin Ryu, was a middle noble with four horns.
Woohoo!
Jinryu’s horn began to tremble and his muscles began to tense.
Boom, boom!
Jinryu started walking through the labyrinth, destroying the puppets that rushed at him with indifferent expressions.
Gradually, the distance between Jinryu, Kim Yeon, and Buk Hyanghwa began to get closer.
Kim Yeon looked at Baek Rin, who was lying next to her.
Baekrin had just been released from his restraints, so it would take time for his strength to recover.
“How long has it been, Book?”
“Almost done, sis. And please say my name correctly!”
“Okay, Ying Ying.”
“profit…!”
Kim Yeon smiled and focused her mind on the thread of consciousness extending from her fingertips.
-Listen carefully, disciple.
It seemed as if the monster who had been teaching her the art of controlling puppets and the strange mind while in a state of madness was speaking to her from next to her.
-Why do you think the Strange Castle always wins against every force it fights?
A strange glare began to appear in her eyes.
―Just by simply suppressing the opponent with superior technology and quantity? Of course that is true. But the most important thing is this! That is madness! Any force that fights our strange fortress, whether they know it or not, will gradually become infected with the strange fortress’ ‘heart’ during the battle. In other words! Those who fight us will gradually open up the possibility of ‘evolution’ as they fight!!
Boom, boom, boom!
Jinryu’s face, which was gradually approaching while destroying the generals with a blank expression, began to move gradually.
―Yes, my strange fortress is… ‘love’! It is the ‘love’ that leads everyone to a new world! It is the epitome of supreme [philanthropy]! Aaaah! How did I create such a great work!?
Those who fight against the puppets of the strange castle, destroy the puppets, fight the puppets, and face the strange castle.
You will come face to face with the circuit of the strange castle without knowing it.
The circuits of the Strange Castle continue to be imprinted in your subconscious, and you gradually become immersed in the madness of the Strange Castle.
As he gradually faced the strange castle, he began to lose his senses and go crazy.
And if both the Strange Castle side and the opposing side went mad, the one who would ultimately win would be the monster army that had long adapted to madness.
Knock knock knock knock knock….
Kim Yeon began to chew her lips roughly.
Blood began to flow from her lips, and gradually, excitement and madness began to appear on Jinryu’s face as he destroyed the Western generals.
“Heh, haha! Heh heh heh heh heh!”
Jinryu laughed.
It was definitely the same when we captured the previous strange ghost king.
Fighting puppets is no fun.
But while fighting Kim Yeon’s puppet, at some point he would become excited.
“Hehehehehehehehe!!!”
Woohoo!
Zzrrrrrr!
Jinryu’s horn began to tremble and make a strange sound.
Jinryu’s face turned red.
The muscles that filled Jinryu’s entire body began to swell even more.
Before Jinryu knew it, the faces of General Seo and Jin Ma-yeol began to overlap.
“Captain! Captain! Captain! Aaaah! Oh my gosh! Brother Jinma-yeol!!!”
Jinryu started beating General Seo savagely with his face reddened.
“Huh, huhhak! Hehahahak!”
Even though she was falling into madness, she still held onto her senses and approached Kim Yeon.
‘Ahhh… I’m about to go crazy.’
Jinryu sighed inwardly.
That’s why the nobles didn’t want to deal with puppeteers.
Even if you think you’ve had a great time with your partner, when you come to your senses, all that’s left is not the partner’s flesh, but a hard puppet piece.
When I came to my senses and remembered that I had played a game with a puppet, instead of feeling proud and happy, I felt an extreme sense of shame and discomfort.
However, Jinryu finally sighed and swung his fist as he watched the puppets rushing towards her.
‘Oh, I don’t know, it doesn’t matter if it’s a tool or something. Let’s enjoy it and think about it.’
Cheeeeek!
Her whole body turned red and her muscles bulged wildly.
The four horns on Jinryu’s forehead cried out madly.
Zzrrrrrr!!!
“Hukaaaaaaaaa!!! Kiyaaaaaaa!!! Kkiyaaaaaaaah! Kweeeeeee!”
She let out a seductive roar while moving forward, her eyes rolled back, destroying the puppets around her.
