How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 30
Chapter 7. Mine (4)
“Oh, there’s a trap over there. Do you know what kind of trap it is?”
“If you touch the string, skewers will pop out from either side.”
Hang-gon lightly poked the staff at Zhuge Jun’s instructions.
As the tip of the pole touched the string, wooden skewers shot out from the left and right with a snapping sound.
It was a vicious trap designed to make you fall for it whether you came forward or backward.
Of course, if you didn’t know, that would be the case.
“Thank you, Zhuge Liang. You have good eyesight.”
“Nice to meet you. Thanks to you, Hangon, dismantling the trap is easy.”
Zhuge Jun looked at the terrain and calculated backwards to figure out which side would be most effective to build traps.
Hang-gon was a stonemason, but he had some knowledge of the organization because he helped with the ironworks.
“Oh, over there. There’s another axis.”
“Will Lim So-hyeop try it this time?”
“Please leave it to me!”
Lim Jun-gyu snorted and then lifted his gun and struck it hard.
Although he was not yet at a level where he could claim to be first-class, his skills were improving quickly and he was now at a level where he could properly exert his power in the beginner’s class.
As soon as the dead tree was cut down, the camp collapsed.
but.
Boooow-!
“It’s a poisonous mosquito.”
As the tree fell and poisonous mosquitoes began to fly, Jegal Hyunmong responded nonchalantly.
There is no more Cheongryongwan. Samarin didn’t really carry around extra ones, and even if he did, they wouldn’t have much of an effect.
‘But I’ve already analyzed the recipe.’
This is a technique I have seen many times, not just once.
Jegal Hyunmong had some idea of the tricks that Ma-in used.
It is a method of controlling actions to a certain extent by implanting magic into the body of a microorganism and sending out certain signals.
so.
‘Come together.’
All you have to do is completely disassemble and reconstruct the structure of the spell that even the Mine party cannot figure out how to do, and then intercept the signal.
As the mosquitoes flying towards the group gathered into a ball shape as if they were supposed to do so, Peng-ak fired his sword without even receiving a signal.
With a sound that sounded like breaking rather than cutting through the wind, the poisonous mosquitoes burst out all at once.
Peng-ak, who recovered the Tao.
He had a strangely shaky expression on his face.
“Hmm.”
“But why?”
“No, I was wondering if it was okay for it to be this comfortable.”
At Peng Yue’s words, Zhuge Jun smiled awkwardly.
Because I knew exactly what he wanted to say.
The original subjugation of the Madou did not proceed so smoothly. This was especially true when trying to track down and hunt down the Mine’s base.
Knowing that if he gets caught, there’s nothing left but death, Mine uses every means at his disposal.
Sometimes, he would use monstrous and powerful magic that defied common sense and cause damage beyond imagination.
In fact, the same goes for the madu we are going to catch now.
‘It was dangerous to have gone through the trap and the poison.’
Even if you are a first-class expert, if you get lost in the fog and accidentally fall into a trap, you cannot guarantee your safety.
Moreover, since you don’t know where the poison might come from when your senses are weakened, you will naturally become tired if you have to be on guard.
Zhuge Jun suddenly felt sorry.
‘You mean you were stuck in the wild with these abilities?’
If Zhuge Liang had not thrown away his wine bell, perhaps Zhuge Liang would not have been in the same crisis as he is now.
Some of the elders of the clan are angry, saying that the family’s roots were almost uprooted because of the drinking clan, and that the family’s crisis began from that time, but there must be some misunderstanding.
“Anyway, I think it’s about time I came out.”
“Maybe he ran away.”
Even if it is a big-hearted devil, it is impossible for it not to sense danger when it approaches so openly.
Moreover, thanks to the efforts of the two Zhuge Liangs, wasn’t it possible to overcome various traps without difficulty?
It would have been an unimaginable outcome even for Maduro, so he might have been so scared that he ran away.
‘Hmm. Maybe that would be better.’
As Jegal Hyunmong was thinking the same thing, a shape appeared beyond the hazy fog.
“That’s… … .”
“Isn’t this the Wuhou Shrine?”
The shrine built to commemorate the virtues of Zhuge Liang was Wuhou Temple.
Some were created officially, but others were created unofficially by people who deeply respected Zhuge Wuhou.
However, since the Muhou Temple was a shrine for people to visit, it was a bit strange that it was built in a place like this.
“Hmm. Maybe it’s not just an ordinary shrine.”
“It’s not an ordinary temple?”
Zhuge Jun blushed slightly.
“Well, it’s a bit embarrassing, but it may have been established by someone from the Zhuge family.”
“Why is that embarrassing?”
“Because it can be called eccentricity.”

Zhuge Jun sighed.
“Do you know that the people of Sega sometimes enjoy setting up difficult problems? Sometimes, the people of Sega set up such difficult problems and if they like it, they dedicate it. They dedicate it to the ancestor of the clan, Empress Wu. On the surface, it’s like that… … In reality, they are sometimes set up to test future generations. They hide a reward and reward those who solve the difficult problem.”
“Compensation?”
“That, that’s a feeling.”
“What are you doing?”
Peng-ak asked back because he truly did not understand, and then regretted it.
It’s none other than Zhuge Liang.
There must be some reason for this.
‘I guess so.’
While listening to the conversation, Jegal Hyunmong thought so.
Because I’ve been through it a few times when I was young.
‘Didn’t I say I wouldn’t give you candy if you didn’t solve the problem?’
Meanwhile, Zhuge Jun did not participate in the story any further and focused on his feelings.
Just as he had suspected Zhuge Xuanmong of being a demon in the past and had been conducting a survey, he wanted to check if there was any sign of the presence of Wuhou Temple within him.
“What do you think, Jun?”
“I don’t feel any sign of a demon. But even so, I can’t feel at ease. Even though the Hyeoncheon Waryongshin Gong (炫天臥龍神功) is an excellent technique for detection, it doesn’t mean that it can detect demons unconditionally, and even if it could, my achievements aren’t that high.”
“I guess I have no choice but to go in.”
Peng-ak concluded as follows.
“Just in case, brother, you are waiting outside.”
Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
It was impossible to enter the Muhou Temple without knowing what kind of traps there might be.
‘I have to check the traces, but it can’t be helped.’
To be honest, it’s not like you can sneak in and hide the evidence while avoiding the eyes of the three unmanned agents.
The ones who decided to enter Wuhou Temple were Zhuge Jun, Peng Yue, and Xiang Kun.
Lim Jun-gyu let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, I didn’t feel like going to the Wuhou Temple where there might be a mine lurking because of his martial arts skills.
“Could he have run away? Mine, I mean.”
“I don’t know about that.”
Jegal Hyeonmong shrugged his shoulders at Im Jun-gyu’s words.
Although he has been showing off a lot lately, he is not as clever as others think and knows everything.
It’s certainly not the case that I did everything without thinking about it, but there are definitely things that I got lucky with and got better results than I expected.
“Well, if it were me, I would have run away a long time ago. Isn’t there an exit from this bloody valley?”
“Well, I guess so. He might have run away far away by now.”
“Is that so? If it were me, I would… … .”
I felt like I was going to get stabbed.
For example, using Muhou Temple as bait to lure people.
As soon as the thought occurred to him, Jegal Hyunmong unleashed his magical power.
Although it wasn’t a special spell, Jegal Hyunmong was able to control each and every magical power. He could tell what the magical power he had sent had touched.
Mine was looking at herself, with her breathing and magic extremely blocked.
A certain cool sensation felt at the same time.
“Slip!”
Jegal Hyeonmong held up his magic wand and pointed at Im Jun-gyu’s feet.
Lim Jun-gyu was startled by the sudden shout and really panicked, his feet slipping.
At the same time, a sharp blow passed through where Lim Jun-gyu’s head had been.
Even as he was falling, Lim Jun-gyu saw a ghostly shadow passing over him like a ghost, and the sight of his cut hair fluttering from the shadow’s extended claws.
It wasn’t really a ghost.
Phew!
If it was a ghost or a shadow, there’s no way it could kick Im Jun-gyu’s side so hard with its hind legs.
The shadow rushed towards Jegal Hyunmong with the force of a cold blow from Im Jun-gyu.
“… … !”
A feeling as if time is passing slowly for a moment.
Jegal Hyunmong instinctively cast a physical strengthening magic on his body.
As I stepped back, I thought of every trick I could think of.
A spell that makes objects slippery, or conversely, increases friction. A spell that catches bugs. A spell that gives objects a slight sense of heat. A spell that creates wind.
‘does not exist.’
It was a magic that was thought to be omnipotent, but now there is no way to stop that shadow.
‘No, there is one.’
Even in that situation, a way to overcome this situation came to mind, but Jegal Hyunmong stopped right before it happened.
Because it was only a possibility and I wasn’t sure.
There was one thing I was certain of.
Jegal Hyunmong did not move.
And then he looked at Mine, who had his nails pressed against his Adam’s apple.
“Hoo.”
Gal Sa-ryang was surprised to see that Jegal Hyun-mong did not even offer the slightest resistance. A normal person would have flinched, but he did not move at all.
“Why didn’t you try to escape? Don’t you care about your life?”
“My life is not in danger right now anyway.”
With Mine in front of him, Jegal Hyunmong answered calmly.
“Are you trying to take me hostage to get out of here?”
Gal Sa-ryang had a gut feeling at Jegal Hyunmong’s calm words.
‘It’s this guy.’
Just by looking at him, he could tell that he was a white-faced student who had never learned martial arts. He knew that this guy was the one who ruined his own plan.
Even though no one taught him, he was very confident in his ability to calculate.
“Let me tell you why I think that. That is… … .”
“Okay. Who has time to listen to that kind of stuff now?”
Gal Sa-ryang’s hand, which had cut off Jegal Hyunmong’s words with a single word, touched Jegal Hyunmong’s acupuncture point and magic point in lightning speed.
With his blood flow blocked and his vision becoming dizzy for a moment, Jegal Hyunmong thought until the very end.
‘No, listen to what I say… …!’
Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Xuanmong’s consciousness fell into the abyss.
