How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 32
Chapter 7. Mine (6)
Zhuge Xuanmong named the formation that unfolded before his eyes “Hwanmongjin (幻夢陣).”
In fact, from the moment Jin showed him the illusion, Jegal Hyunmong was already figuring out and dismantling the structure of the spell while watching the illusion.
Strictly speaking, the dream world is not showing a sight that does not exist.
It was closer to showing the scenery of the area belonging to Jin in a different form by appropriately combining them.
The sheer cliffs were actually cliffs of a canyon, and the endless precipice was merely a reflection of the sky.
However, the combination is so elaborate that it leaves the viewer speechless.
‘That’s amazing.’
The magical power of the Jin built is not that great compared to its size.
So I was amazed. Seeing that he could properly operate the formation with only the minimum amount of magical power, I couldn’t even guess how solidly he had carved the technique.
With repeated admiration, Jegal Xuanmong advanced through Huanmongjin.
Meanwhile, Gal Sa-ryang was also admiring him for another reason. The object of his admiration was not Jinbeop, but Jegal Hyeonmong.
‘That’s amazing.’
Leaving aside any hostility, I honestly admired Gal Sa-ryang.
Because the formation that he had been struggling to dismantle for half a year was being dismantled in less than half an hour.
‘I guess this is possible.’
Since the formation has not been dismantled, the pursuit party cannot pursue.
As Jegal Hyunmong advances, he is chasing after him to prevent him from making any further moves.
Even if they expected to come back to the other side of the valley, they would have to go around the mountain. It would be difficult to catch up with them as they went straight ahead.
Galsa-ryang, who had some free time, smiled bitterly.
‘Well, come to think of it.’
It’s not as useful as you might think.
It’s not for nothing that Galsaryang chose Gwihyeol Valley as his hiding place.
If it weren’t for special circumstances like this one, most of the pursuit could have been thwarted by hiding in formation and holding out.
Even if they were chasing you to a specific location, you could always create an opportunity to escape while you were lost in the formation.
I tried to understand the formation while using this place as a hideout, but to be honest, I couldn’t understand its structure.
‘But if you take this guy with you.’
Even if it isn’t here at Gwihyeolgok, wouldn’t it be possible to set up the formation in other places as well?
If you go somewhere else and set up a similar formation, you will reach the pinnacle.
No, maybe we can aim for even higher levels.
‘I’m sure he’ll be satisfied since it’s not like he’s taking a life.’
“By the way, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
“What is it?”
“It seems you also use magic. Where and how did you learn it?”
“Magic? Ah.”
Gal Sa-ryang realized what Jegal Hyun-mong was asking and was about to respond rudely, but then changed his mind.
I don’t really intend to please them, but if you tighten it too much, they’ll start to react.
“This is a magical power bestowed by the Demon God.”
“What exactly is that magic?”
“well.”
Galsa-ryang shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know exactly. I just decided to take refuge in the devil and then I came to enlightenment.”
I personally saw Galsa-ryang as something similar to a mental demon.
It is said that in the past, Buddha also suffered from mental disorders due to the hindrance of the passage when he attained enlightenment. It is said that Buddha was able to enter nirvana because he overcame them.
But what if you can’t overcome it?
What kind of being would Buddha have been?
“The moment I attained enlightenment, all the martial arts I had learned collapsed and were recreated into a form suitable for demonic arts. That is the origin of the demonic arts that I know.”
“Are you talking about the secret art of handling poisons?”
“Yes. Originally, in Mandokmun, which was my roots, we dealt with various poisons and poisonous substances.”
Until they were destroyed by the Sacheon Dangga.
Galsa-ryang uttered those words indirectly and then gritted his teeth slightly.
Originally, the Mandokmun was a sect that was good at handling poisons, although not as good as the Sacheondangga.
“How did you end up in Sacheon-dang?”
“I got caught experimenting with Go.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. There is something called the male-female love bug that lives in the South. This bug is strange in that even if they are far apart, if one side is hurt, the other side will spit out poison. I was studying that.”
“… … .”
Jegal Hyunmong frowned.
Because I immediately knew what purpose the poison was being used for.
“But it didn’t work out as I thought. A normal person would just melt in the stomach acid and die. So before it melted in the stomach acid, I tried to improve it by making a hole in the stomach and entering the bloodstream… … But then the Tang guys invaded.”
“How do you know?”
“They said they found him while investigating a missing person’s case.”
“… … .”
Isn’t it wrong to hold a grudge?
Jegal Xuanmong had no choice but to think that way.
To be honest, I think we deserved to be destroyed.
From then on, it was a sure thing.

Gal Sa-ryang, the only one who succeeded in getting his body out, somehow improved his skills using the martial arts and knowledge of Mandokmun.
However, there was a limit. It was impossible to become a master without proper support unless it was a stroke of luck.
I feel like I would sell my soul for what I want… … .
When I thought like that, Simma came to visit me.
If you don’t go against the spirit and obey it, Galsa-ryang will become a mine.
“It’s funny. Before, I couldn’t improve my martial arts skills even with all the blood-spitting training, but now I can improve just by killing and eating the entrails of bandits who are like maggots. Don’t you think so too?”
“I don’t think so. How can the results of walking the path of non-humanity be considered justified?”
“That’s a boring, cliche idea. If that were true, how could I have survived until now?”
Galsa-ryang laughed.
“There’s not much left now. If I kill five more, I’ll be able to break the peak. It means I won’t have to bow my head to anyone. If I have even a little bit of conditions, I can definitely aim for more.”
Galsa-ryang said that and then looked across the street.
As we continued our conversation, the exit to the canyon came into view.
A sticky murderous aura flowed.
“You’re a smart guy, so you must have guessed that I won’t just let you go.”
“I guess so.”
“Is there any means of survival? You’re incredibly calm.”
Jegal Hyunmong smiled wryly.
“A gentleman is taught not to waver. What good is there in panicking when your life is in danger?”
“Then I guess you want to die calmly.”
Galsa-ryang let out magic energy from his eyes.
“I’ll give you a chance. If you become my subordinate, I’ll spare your life as promised and treat you well. It won’t be a bad offer for you either.”
“Why?”
“Because it saves your life. Even if you don’t like my offer, once you save your life, won’t there be another chance?”
Jegal Hyunmong turned around.
The amount of energy was already increasing to the point where it was at its peak.
Unlike before, if you say even the slightest negative word, Galsa-ryang will take your life without hesitation.
Jegal Hyunmong took a deep breath and exhaled deeply.
“It is said that a gentleman is righteous and a mean man is ignorant. I see that you are not righteous, so how can I follow you?”
“Is that so? Then, die.”
The amount of Galsa was not mentioned in detail.
He flew as if he was bouncing his body and aimed for Jegal Hyunmong’s upper body in one breath.
The claws of Gal Sa-ryang, which had been flying a short distance apart, brutally cut Jegal Hyunmong’s upper body in half.
“… … !?”
and.
Jegal Hyunmong’s body became disheveled and dispersed like fog.
I didn’t even feel the taste. I just felt like I was cutting through empty space.
‘What? I definitely felt a presence… …! Down!’
Jegal Hyunmong had not disappeared. He was still there.
He simply crouched down and manipulated the dream circle to make it look like he was still standing.
‘So that’s why the sound was felt!’
It was a skill that was possible because the technique was learned while destroying the dream circle.
‘now!’
widely-!
Jegal Hyunmong stood up, hitting the ground hard with the staff he was holding.
Galsa-ryang laughed.
“What difference would it make if a guy like you rebelled!? It would have been better for you to run away!”
Zhuge Xuanmong does not know martial arts.
Besides, didn’t they retrieve all the dangerous objects and secret weapons they had?
This was the reason why Gal Sa-ryang did not impose any restrictions on Jegal Hyeon-mong.
Because I am confident that I can sufficiently subdue whatever tricks they throw at me.
So whatever he does, it’s nothing more or less than a desperate struggle right before he dies.
Even Zhuge Liang himself was well aware of that fact.
The magic power is insignificant, and there is only one ring. No matter how hard you try, you cannot inflict more impact than if you hit with a fist.
but.
‘I am more confident in control than anyone else.’
Magical power, like limbs, secretly emerged from Jegal Hyunmong’s fingertips.
And that magic power dug into Galsalyang’s bosom like a snake.
It stimulated some organ mechanism inside it.
“Ugh!?”
A sudden sharp pain in the chest.
At the same time, the heat of the poison spread throughout Galsa-ryang’s body.
“What, what… …!”
Galsa-ryang staggered back, his expression showing disbelief.
How does the organ in your arms work?
An incomprehensible situation.
However, Gal Sa-ryang instinctively realized that the cause of this situation was the student right in front of him.
“You! You were aiming for this from the beginning… …!”
Jegal Hyunmong did not answer.
He simply struck the floor with the wooden staff, or rather, the magic wand, that he was holding in his hand.
At the same time, the dream world began to change.
As if reflected by countless mirrors, Zhuge Xuanmong’s new form splits apart.
This evil spirit, Gal Sa-ryang, once again spread the Black Water Demon Spirit and tore Jegal Hyunmong apart in all directions, but it was all an illusion.
Jegal Hyeonmong had already left the place.
“You, you idiot! Ugh!”
Gal Sa-ryang started vomiting blood and removing the poison.
Although the poison in the organ was quite toxic, it was not yet fatal to the Galsa-ryang who originally dealt with poison.
“I’ll kill you! Even if you hid in illusions, you wouldn’t have been able to run far!”
With a snap of his fingers, a cloud of poisonous mosquitoes burst out from Galsalyang’s sleeve.
Even if you can’t see it, if you spread the poisonous mosquitoes around, there will be a part that touches you.
That’s enough!
I thought that was enough, Galsa Ryang.
“I saw that once.”
Now I think I know how to do it.
What Gal Sa-ryang felt immediately after was an unpleasant sensation as if the soul that connected him to the poisonous mosquito was being taken away.
Jegal Hyunmong, who had easily taken over the spell as if an adult were breaking a child’s wrist, lightly tapped his staff.
Immediately afterwards, the poisonous mosquitoes that had been hovering around changed direction and rushed at Galsa Ryang all at once.
