-Goooooo… … !
Inside the armor of the Blue Demon, instead of flesh and bones, blue flames were flickering.
Even though he was a ghost, he was burning with a more intense killing intent and fighting spirit than a living being.
As soon as I took a step, the swords of the Qing Red Ghost clashed.
-Kaga River!
I couldn’t understand how such strength could come from someone without any flesh or bones.
Obviously, the power of the Blue Ghost was amazing, but I didn’t take a single step back.
The Blue Demon itself is a strong demon.
However, the demons I encountered at the educational facility were much stronger.
-Chae-Ang, Chae-Ang!
Every time their swords clashed, Cheongjeokgwi was pushed back.
The moment he let his guard down, my sword would cut off his neck.
Cheongjeokgwi also realized the gap and hurriedly retreated.
And the air around them grew cold and heavy.
[The ability ‘Frost Flame’ is activated!]
The sword of the Blue Demon caught fire and began to burn fiercely.
The color of the flames was pale blue.
As soon as the fire started, Cheongjeokgwi swung his sword sharply.
-Oh my god!
Instead of blocking it, I lowered my body and dodged the attack.
The back of my neck suddenly became cool.
I looked around and saw that the trees that had taken the sword instead of me were in a terrible state.
The place that was hit by the sword was burning and freezing at the same time.
The trees were already falling down, black as ash, and the blue flames were freezing in their wake.
Frost Flame is an ability that possesses both fire and water attributes.
At first glance, it looked like an ice-type supernatural ability, but the difference was that the ice was spreading out like fire.
If I even brushed past it, frost sparks would start and I would freeze as well.
-Crunch… … .
As I paused for a moment, a blue heron walked over to me, making a creaking sound.
The flame still burned with the light of cold ice.
If I went into close combat, I would be at a disadvantage.
I may be unlucky, but I never thought it would be like this again.
If just one person from the group had come with us, it would have been easy to conquer.
The Blue-Eyed Demon type is weak to long-range attacks.
And all four of us, except me, had the ability to attack from a distance.
There is also a way to summon Yo-rong or Lini… … .
I didn’t think it was necessary to do that.
[The ability ‘Flame Flame’ is activated!]
I, too, lit my sword like a thief.
Unlike the Cheongjeokgwi’s sword, the Chiljido sword is a sword that burns red.
Thanks to the training I had put in over the years, the level of ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ had risen to ginseng level.
-That’s so extreme… … !
The blue ghost hesitated for a moment when he saw my flames, but did not retreat.
It was because the size of the flames was different.
No matter how you look at it, their firepower is stronger.
As if trying to scare me, the Blue Ghost poured out his magic power and made the frost flames grow even bigger.
I felt the temperature around me dropping further.
The size of my flame seemed insignificant compared to the blue and red ghost.
If that’s the case, then all we have to do is fan the flames further.
[Use your public points to raise the level of your ability ‘Flame Flame’!]
[The ability ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ evolves into Inipum!]
[The ability ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ evolves into Inilpum!]
[The ability ‘Gwangyeomiljang’ evolves into Gwisampum!]
As I spent my public service points, the flames came alive as if they were being fueled by oil.
In an instant, the flames grew so large that the Qing Red Ghost was seen to stop.
Now it’s almost at the same level as the frost flame of the blue ghost.
-Kkakang!
Two swords, two flames clashed.
The frost flames were burning fiercely as if they were trying to swallow up my flame journal.
The heat and cold hit my face.
-Goooooo!
As the swords clashed, sparks flew in all directions.
The flames were screaming and burning madly, trying to kill each other.
The air around them was shimmering with red and blue.
-Kkakang, kkakang!
I danced with fire and sword.
The flames were burning so fast that they seemed as if they would swallow me and the enemy.

My heart was pounding hotly and I was screaming.
To kill, burn, and incinerate the enemy.
As if it understood my will, the flames began to rage more violently.
At that moment, even I had difficulty handling the heat of the madness.
-Whoooosh!
My flame began to engulf the frost flame.
The blue flame that had been burning sharply just a moment ago died down as if it had been sprinkled with water.
The frost sparks flared up once like a final blaze, then began to cool down quickly.
The moment Cheongjeokgwi saw it, he stopped.
-Crunch!
My flame tore through the neck of the blue demon.
The head of the blue demon was engulfed in flames as soon as it was cut off.
The headless demon groped around my neck and eventually fell to his knees.
In an instant, Cheongjeokgwi’s head turned into ash.
[‘The noble and precious Cheongjeokgwi’ has been defeated!]
[Calculating public value.]
[Defeat a target stronger than you to receive additional rewards!]
The smell of coal was wafting around.
I was checking my public service by releasing ‘Gwangyeomiljang’.
I was stronger in terms of ability, but I got additional rewards.
It was fortunate that the standard for strength was not ability but fate level.
I smiled to myself as I checked the accumulated public service value.
But this merit is only a side benefit.
I approached the corpse of the blue ghost to take care of the main dish.
[The ability ‘Steal the Four Pillars of Destiny’ is activated!]
[It is currently possible to steal two items.]
I was slightly surprised by the message that appeared next.
Now it’s possible to steal two things.
It’s a good thing for me, but on the other hand, I’m a little worried about the karma piling up.
The faster you get stronger, the faster you get to the edge.
But I was already prepared for the risk.
[Steal the ability ‘Frost Flame’!]
[Steal some of the ‘magic power’!]
═══════════════
[Ability] Frost Flame
[Rank] Ghostly Second Grade
[Description] A flame that burns at sub-zero temperatures. Anything that touches this flame freezes as it burns.
═══════════════
‘Frost Flame’ was an ability I had always wanted, so I stole it without hesitation.
I was debating whether or not to steal the other abilities, but the magic ability of the Blue Demon was not bad.
After stealing the magic power, I checked my abilities.
═══════════════
[Strength] Level 37
[Stamina] Level 35
[Agility] 36th level
[Sense] 36th level
[Horoscope] 38th level
═══════════════
To this extent, it is quite satisfactory.
Even more so when you consider that the abilities of the members of the Intangible Wave that we just saw were in the high 10s.
Now that we’ve taken care of the Blue Devils, we need to sort out the rest.
I glanced at the machine that Cheongjeokgwi was guarding, and a dozen or so lamps were shining red light, staring at me like the eyes of a demon.
I contacted my group.
“We’ve reached where the device is now. What about the others?”
“[It’s Jang Tae-heon! We’re searching right now, but it’s taking some time to find the location.]”
“[It’s spring! We’ll just clean up the nearby demons and go look for them right away!]”
This machine device was not only in my area, but was located in all three areas.
For months, no one knew about the existence of this device, and attempts to exploit it were unsuccessful.
This device is responsible for strengthening the boss.
The boss with all reinforcement devices in each area activated is… … .
To be honest, it’s a scam.
The reinforcement device in the first zone has an ‘auto recovery’ effect.
The reinforcement device in the second area has the effect of ‘reducing physical attacks’.
The reinforcement device in the third area has the effect of ‘strengthening physical attacks’.
In other words, most attacks will not go in properly, and even if they do, they will completely recover.
It would be impossible for the Manshins to conquer this magic realm unless they turned off all of these devices.
For months, people had been trying unsuccessfully to conquer it.
The person who conquered this place was Shin Soo-ah.
This greatly increased her profile and was a great help in establishing Bihomun.
I spoke into the ear cuff.
“You can take your time checking. I’ll wait for everyone else to retreat before I start attacking the boss.”
It’s the first magic realm, so all sorts of people have gathered, but even among them, there are strong people hiding.
Even if you don’t succeed in conquering the area, you’ll still be able to get to the boss area.
If by any chance other guys get in while we’re disarming the device, it’ll be a problem.
For now, I went back to the road to assess the situation without disarming the device.
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
“Oh, I’m dying… … .”
There were groans coming from here and there.
Several people, including members of the Intangible Wave, were seen lying around.
It seemed like not everyone died because they were all just little devils.
After taking a quick look, it seemed that none of them had any previous training experience and that they were all exhausted and would probably step down at this point.
We got to the halfway point and there happened to be an escape door nearby.
Then the leader of the Intangible Wave discovered me.
He jumped up and shouted at me.
“You, you little punk! Are you running away and abandoning us?”
“You’re saying that we’re just going in the same direction?”
“This, this is… … !”
“Come to think of it, there’s an exit over there. Wouldn’t it be better to go out?”
The members of the Intangible Sect were seen flinching at those words.
He seemed hesitant at the mention of the exit.
But the leader of the invisible wave got angry and shouted.
“We’re not going out! We’re going to go after defeating the boss… …!”
-Kugu-kung… … !
But at that moment, a loud vibration was felt nearby.
I checked the message window that appeared in front of me.
[The boss area has been liberated!]
It seemed like someone had entered the boss area.
Even though we were far apart, I could feel the electricity flowing through the air, my skin tingling.
The only people who could enter the boss area were… … at this point, the only ones who could do so were trainees.
Who opened the door?
The names and faces of the strong people in my memory flashed through my mind.
But no matter who it is, everyone will fail on their first try.
As we were waiting for the door to the boss area to close again, the people nearby suddenly stood up.
“Hey, what is that?”
“Is that… the boss?”
I saw people lying around start to get up in surprise.
The high wall surrounding the boss area opened, and something was coming out through the gap.
[‘Yongsampum Geumgangyeoksa’ has appeared!]
It was such a bizarre sight that I thought the giant statue was moving.
While people were in a state of confusion at the appearance of Geumgang Yeoksa, I was at a loss.
Why did you come out of the boss area?
The first boss of the Demon Realm, Geumgangyeoksa, is sealed in a designated area and begins to move when the door is opened.
Even so, there was no case of it coming out?
-Thump, thump… … !
Besides, Geumgang Yeoksa was running after something.
Who pulled the aggro of Geumgang Yeoksa?
At that moment, Geumgang Yeoksa’s head suddenly turned and our eyes met.
I thought it was a mistake, but a message window that popped up immediately told me it was real.
[‘Geumgangyeoksa’ has recognized you as an enemy!]
[‘Geumgangyeoksa’ has made you its top priority target!]
