Heavenly Dragon Sword (2)
Ha Seung-hoon’s expression wrinkled at the sight of a familiar monster approaching him.
When Harley visited Geumodo, he started a fight first, and now he’s causing trouble so openly in the Mosanpa area!
This was an absolutely unacceptable act in a situation where unity was being emphasized for world reconstruction.
‘I’d like to call Harley and beat her to death right now, but…’
He wrapped his internal energy around Jegal Hye-mi in his arms and threw her backwards. At the same time, he tightly gripped the handle of his sword, and hot energy shot out from his grip.
Soon, it became a fire dragon and began to spin around on the sword, growing in size in an instant.
Hwaruk—! Kwaaang!
A fire energy that has gained tremendous power through the power of “Empty Spirit Delay”.
It swallowed up the great monster rushing in from the front.
[Inom! How dare you, a worthless swindler—!]
No matter how different their ranks were, an attack using the “Heavenly Dragon Divine Art” could never be underestimated.
This is because it is no exaggeration to say that this martial art, acquired through the blessing of the Yongshin, is one of the best in the entire Gangwhan world.
Thanks to that, even though he took advantage of the gap in the fight between the swordsmen, didn’t he end up cutting off one of the arms of the Demon Sword Master, who was a master of the realm?
[I’ve been a little active and people around me have been praising me, but it seems like I don’t see anything! I’m not up to this level!]
But in other words, that’s it.
Such an attack might have stopped Dool’s steps for a moment, but it could not cause fatal damage to the great monster.
[Khuuuuuuuuu——!]
A roar like thunder resonated through the air, causing a torrent of powerful energy to rise, tearing apart the fiery energy that had been consuming the large body.
Then, Ha Seung-hoon glanced at the sparks that were quickly scattering and disappearing, and his mouth twisted into a frown.
‘Amazing resistance to strong energy. And it even has the regenerative power to instantly recover from damage… At this level, you could consider it a lower-grade version of Harley.’
Dool is a martial arts great monster who was active during the final war.
Although Harley, who had been superior in every way in the past, had a record of being crushed without even being able to do anything to him, his pure fighting prowess was a formidable opponent that could never be ridiculed.
As he had overwhelming physical strength and weight class, he was also more demanding than the master of the same class, Hyun-kyung.
‘He’s not an opponent that I can deal with, since I’m still at the level of a flower maker. If we fight him properly, he won’t be able to last long and will collapse. But···.’
He gripped his sword tightly and glared straight ahead.
Didn’t you realize this a while ago?
It’s stupid to want to be comfortable when you really want to be strong.
‘Especially if you want to get over the wall with martial arts.’
This was a challenge for him too.
Instead of overcoming the side effects and overcoming the wall as in the past due to the characteristics of “Avatar”, it is about refining oneself through cultivation to truly achieve transcendence.
Considering that most of the mental power status that has grown enormously over the years is being used to maintain the avatars’ rank, this could be said to be a necessity rather than a choice.
Saaaa—
At that time, as if to support his determination.
An energy that I had felt once before seeped into my body.
A power that only one person in this world can properly handle.
‘The divine power of the Dragon God?’
He glanced behind him and smiled faintly.
In a desperate situation, his body became hot and aroused.
On the contrary, reason coolly sank and the surrounding situation came under detailed perception.
The condition is excellent.
The words from the ‘Black Dragon Secretary’ that had been sleeping deep inside and had not been sorted out yet began to dig into my mind and show off their presence.
“Whew, good. This is about it···”
There was no time to catch my breath again.
A vicious grip that tears the air apart and crushes it.
Pleasure, illusion, change.
His body rose up through Dool’s arms like a flower petal fluttering in the wind.
The wind dragon swirling around in the air was focused on the tip of his sword.
Swack—
But the sharp sword strike that followed only left a long gash on the Great Demon’s neck.
Even then, it was completely regenerated in a short while.
The only indication of an attack was the small amount of blood that oozed out as the thick hide was cut.
[This worm-like thing!]
But that alone was enough to make Dool angry.
How dare a lowly human being, whom I had ridiculed and ignored, dare to injure myself!
How can I just let this go?
[I will kill you at all costs!]
Now that his pride was hurt, the dragon child was out of his sight.
He exploded in anger, completely forgetting his original plan to achieve his goal and get out of here as quickly as possible.
Just to tear that insignificant human being apart.
Kwaaang—!
“Cough!”
Ha Seung-hoon’s body, which had been brushed by his fingers that moved like lightning, fell to the ground, creating a deep hole.
If I hadn’t dispersed the shock by surrounding the dragon just before, it wouldn’t have ended like this.
But there was no time to catch one’s breath.
Kwarrrrung—
The clouds of Dool’s feet continued to trample the place he had hurriedly avoided.
The ground that had cracked under it collapsed, causing a huge landslide that swept away the surrounding area.

***
Amid the roar of the mountain collapsing, a series of bloody explosions echoed.
“Ha, Prince···!”
As the aftershocks of the giant qi collision continued to surge forward, Jegal Hye-mi, who had used magic to dodge her body, bit her lip and looked at the source.
‘Should I have just stayed still? I ended up asking for help for no reason, so Confucius…’
It was all thanks to the dragon magic she used that Ha Seung-hoon was able to catch up with her and save her before she was too late.
Using his past experience of being kidnapped and imprisoned by the Demonic Cult, he calmly perfected the art of Confucianism to communicate with him and relay his location in real time.
‘If only I had just a little more ability. Then I could have gotten out on my own without having to ask for help!’
But no matter how much Dool was a martial artist, he was actually a being called a great monster.
If it was just to the extent of secretly communicating, then it wouldn’t be possible for high-level magic like teleportation to work that easily, right?
If the bastard’s attention hadn’t been distracted by the well-timed surprise attack earlier, I would never have been able to escape its clutches.
Kurururung—!
A strong aftershock swept through the epicenter of the landslide once again.
Dragons of various colors rise magnificently from its center and decorate the surrounding area.
Each and every one of them was a destructive force that could blow away an entire mountain peak, but unfortunately, the strong energy just kept breaking apart and scattering as soon as it appeared.
‘What I can do now is…’
Jegal Hye-mi clasped her hands together and closed her eyes tightly.
She has no talent other than sorcery, so getting involved in that fight would only be a nuisance.
The best we could do now was to pray and give him strength through blessings so that he could endure as long as possible.
‘With the monsters making such a fuss and causing such a ruckus, even Geumodo Island won’t stay still. If only we could hold out until the dragons we saw back then come out!’
At that moment, she opened her eyes wide as she felt her strength being drained away through her connection with Ha Seung-hoon.
His body, which had just allowed the attack to take place, was buried in the cliff, and large and small debris rained down.
‘no!’
It’s not like the blessing has absorbed a significant amount of shock, so it’s not like it’s impossible to fight right away.
She knew that too, but she couldn’t help but feel weak as she watched that sight.
“Rather… if I just follow that monster….”
He can never defeat that great monster now.
If things continue like this, we won’t be able to last much longer.
So, rather than continuing to resist in vain and losing your life, it would be better to follow that monster and wait for someone to save you at Geumodo Island.
“Huh, maybe it’s better to just leave it at that?”
At that moment, as if cutting through her thoughts, a stranger’s voice flowed into her ears.
“That guy would rather eat it straight away than risk having his offering stolen again.”
“Huh?!”
Startled, she turned around and gave a wary look.
A middle-aged man was standing a few steps away, arms folded, not knowing when he had come.
While her gaze was directed towards him, he leisurely looked at the epicenter of the fight.
‘I didn’t feel any movement. Who on earth is it?’
Despite this situation, she did not let down her guard against her surroundings.
If it was an opponent of any level… no, even if it was an opponent who had reached the peak of the mountain, I would have been able to sense their presence at least a little.
“···Wow, that’s amazing. Wasn’t that the Dragon Swordsman? I heard you’re only in your twenties, and you’re already facing a wall.”
He muttered softly.
Although it was a calm voice, Jegal Hye-mi could tell.
That jealousy is so clearly embedded in the background.
The moment when her vigilance towards him became even stronger.
“Kkekekekeke— This guy still hasn’t shaken off his worries.”
“Whoa!”
As another voice was heard, the man who had appeared first grabbed his head.
“This fu*king old man···!”
“Oh my, looking at the way you speak to your teacher, you still have a long way to go before you can be corrected.”
“Ugh—!”
Jegal Hye-mi looked at the new character with puzzled eyes.
An old man with a long beard and a worn-out uniform.
He just smiled kindly and gently stroked his beard, but the man was still gritting his teeth in pain.
“You don’t have to worry so much, child. That young man won’t go down so easily.”
The old man noticed that her gaze was directed at him and nodded slowly with a soft smile.
“By the way, that’s really amazing. How on earth is that possible? Isn’t it completely ignoring the laws of this world?”
Then he looked back at the battlefield and exclaimed in admiration.
His wrinkled eyes sparkled with wonder and curiosity.
“Ugh, what are you talking about? It’s certainly impressive to be at that level at that age, but···.”
“Hahaha, this stupid disciple has eyes but can’t see.”
The man with his head wrapped around his neck and a frown responded curtly, but the old man still did not take his eyes off the fight and just let out a gasp.
Because it was clear to his eyes.
The various martial arts that are not of this world are intertwined and completed as a single system, expressed through the body of the young man named Cheonryonggeomhyeop.
If it hadn’t been for that in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to last that long against the great monster.
It was clear that the old man’s level was much higher, but even though I could see it clearly, I couldn’t figure out the principle.
Attacks that should have been unblockable were slid aside, and counterattacks that should not have worked were already piercing through the thick hide.
The movements of the dragon were far beyond the common sense of the world, and the sword was also in a realm beyond his own understanding.
‘In addition, his growth is abnormally fast. He is not at a level where you can simply pass him off as a genius. Is he using life-threatening real-life battles as his nourishment?’
They were being pushed back because the total amount of absolute power itself was overwhelmingly inferior.
In fact, considering the difference in ability between the two, it was surprising that they were able to hold out at all.
And the one who feels it most clearly is not the old man watching from outside, but Do-ol himself who is dealing with him directly.
“That must be why he’s targeting that young man with such bloodshot eyes.”
The old man clicked his tongue and looked at Dool with a fierce expression.
At first glance, it seemed to be filled only with anger, but he could tell.
That there was a vague fear in those eyes.
Something I just can’t understand, even though I’ve mixed my hands several times, and even though it’s still going on.
Even though it was growing more and more as time passed, it was natural that they were going crazy trying to crush it before it could bloom.
If that incomprehensible thing were to fully blossom, it was obvious what would become of him.
“I would like to wait a little longer, if only for the sake of that young man, but I think I have reached my limit.”
The old man looked at Ha Seung-hoon, who looked precarious.
No matter how much you try to endure and grow in an unknown way, there is a limit to that.
Dool is a notorious monster even in Geumodo.
If any more time passes here, that talent will be destroyed before it can fully blossom as he intended.
“Disciple, you go and take a look. That young man is working so hard, so as a senior, you can’t just sit back and do nothing, right? A life-or-death fight with a great monster is not an opportunity that comes often.”
“···Are you crazy, old man? I haven’t even gotten over the wall yet, and you want me to attack Dool? Are you finally planning to kill me?”
“Oh my! This guy again!”
“Ugh! I understand! I understand! Damn it! I’m going crazy to go see that old man on my own two feet!”
Eventually, the middle-aged man had no choice but to head to the battlefield.
Jegal Hye-mi, who had been quietly assessing the situation, turned away from him and her eyes lit up.
Looking at them, it was clear that they were also hostile to that great monster.
That means…
‘Mosanpa… no, they are the ones from above.’
She took a deep breath and carefully opened her mouth, still looking at the old man next to her.
“Hello, sir. My name is Jegal Hye-mi from the Jegal family of Hubei. Are you from Geumodo?”
“Oh?”
Mosanpa is a place that is almost like the main gate of Geumodo Island.
It was no wonder that they were pursued so quickly, since they had caused such a blatant accident in that area and fled.
“Heh heh, you really are a quick-witted kid. It’s true that I came from Geumodo. I just happened to be nearby because of my disciple, and I happened to figure out the situation.”
But he had no intention of staying still when faced with a problem, and his eyes sparkled as he slowly stroked his beard.
As she gulped at the intimidation emanating from his body, his words continued.
“It’s been a long time since I abandoned my name, so I don’t really have a title to give you. Well, if I were to introduce myself by the titles that people on Geumodo Island use….”
Jegal Hye-mi blinked her wide eyes repeatedly.
As the daughter of the Jegal family who had the most detailed knowledge of monsters aside from the Mosan faction, she knew very well what the names that came out of the other person’s mouth meant.
The King of Narachal.
The leader of Geumodo Island, standing shoulder to shoulder with Oryong, smiled gently while looking at the dragon child.
***
“Damn it! What the hell is this all of a sudden!”
Ha Seung-hoon’s eyes lit up when he saw the man who suddenly intervened in the fight.
As I was slowly reaching my limit, I was thinking of calling for reinforcements, but at that very moment, the war began.
‘Mok In-gwang?’
It was a familiar face that I had forgotten since Harley left Ganghwan-gye.
Of course, his intervention did not change the situation dramatically.
Even Mokin Gwang, who was called Gu Gwang-ma, was still an unmanned being standing at the edge of Hwa-gyeong, unable to overcome the wall of Hyeon-gyeong.
But it was true that his addition gave us a little bit of a breather.
Thanks to that, I had a little more opportunity to refine myself.
“Aaah! This damn old man! My disciple is going to die! He’s really going to die!”
And judging from what he was saying, it seemed like his teacher was nearby too.
‘Is this the monster that taught me the art of madness?’
A monster who taught Mokin-gwang, who was an orphan and suffered from uncontrollable madness, the secret to controlling madness.
It seems that after the war, as exchanges with Geumodo increased, he eventually sought him out and formed a relationship of discipleship.
‘I had forgotten about it, but it looks like I’ve been living pretty well.’
Although I was so busy that I couldn’t pay much attention to him, I couldn’t help but feel happy to see that the person I once treated as my subordinate was doing well.
“Damn it! You piece of shit! I’m going to kill that old man someday!”
Although the madness that had subsided after Harley’s special physical therapy wore off seems to have returned.
At the same time, in the fantasy world.
Horus, the yellow dragon that had been moving busily and ready to leap through space at any moment, crouched down again.
