Seongcheon Yun Ga (1)
It was by no means easy to become a practitioner who was not satisfied with the chakras that one had naturally acquired while working and who truly pursued the advancement of one’s realm.
Although chakras are a power that anyone can potentially acquire, that doesn’t mean that everyone can reach a high level.
This was especially true of the power of lightning, which is one of the most destructive forces in nature.
In Yun Ga, it was common to see people carrying lightning rods and deliberately getting struck by lightning on thunderstorm days.
Lucette, who was born with natural talent, adapted relatively quickly from the introductory stage, but such qualities and the pain she had to feel since childhood were separate issues.
It must have been so hard for them to repeat the training, which would be no different from electric torture for an ordinary person, every single day without fail.
What would be considered child abuse on Earth was a normal occurrence here in Sabah.
It was a time when I was suffering greatly from such harsh training.
There was someone who comforted her as she was slowly being crushed by the heavy expectations of those around her regarding her innate talent.
It was a tiny baby who couldn’t even properly control his own body on his own.
[The situation looks very serious. I came here because the little master asked me to do so… If I hadn’t come, I would have been in big trouble.]
A small, warm hand came to me, tottering as if he was about to fall over, and patted my tired cheek.
There were many orphanages and even more children living in Yunga, but the baby who came to her at that time felt different from the other children.
‘Maybe it was a sense of kinship.’
Now that I think about it, it may have been some kind of rapport that arose thanks to our innate aptitude for the same brain.
Looking at the achievements of that child and Yoon So-hoe, it seems reasonable to view it that way.
Anyway, the important thing is that at the time, she received a lot of comfort from that child, and thanks to that, she was able to get to where she is now.
[Excuse me? Mr. Lucette? Are you listening?]
[···Yes, I am listening.]
[Ah! That’s a relief. I was wondering if maybe the barrier was preventing proper communication. By the way, you seem very used to sending thoughts, aren’t you?]
[I’ve had similar experiences a few times. No, more than that, how did this happen? Why did Mr. Hoon···.]
I was waiting for support to come.
The reason she had been holding out and holding out for as long as possible was because she expected that support would be dispatched soon after the regular reports stopped.
But I couldn’t have guessed that it would be Hoon, who had only recently come to Yunga as a guest.
[There were various circumstances. It’s too complicated to explain them all now.]
[···I see. It seems like the time outside hasn’t passed as much as I thought.]
[You’re quick-witted. The time difference between the space where Miss Lucette is and the space where she is is about eight times.]
[Eight times···.]
It was as expected.
However, Lucette, who had been exchanging words of wisdom and advice, suddenly felt a slight sense of discomfort.
‘Even if we connect communications beyond the barrier, that’s okay…’
In fact, that alone was a great thing.
Isn’t this a perfectly prepared trap that even she, a deep practitioner, would be trapped in without being able to find a loophole?
‘But he has a record of overwhelming many upper-level ability users. There must be something special about him.’
I could understand that part, even if it was forced.
It was then that she felt uneasy.
‘How is it possible to communicate so smoothly with such a time difference?’
Even if it is not a voice-based communication, it would be normal for it to be somewhat noticeable.
Communication with him was so natural that I hadn’t even realized it until just a moment ago.
As if it was something I was already used to.
“···What is it? Who are you talking to right now?”
But that thought didn’t last long.
A high, thin, androgynous voice burrowed into her ear.
Standing in front of Lucette, General Bu-ryeong frowned as he focused on her every move, his green eyes engraved with concentric circles flashing.
Although the communication was quick and secretive, it was impossible to completely deceive the attention of a powerful person of that level.
“Ouch, it looks like a rat has been hiding here.”
Finally, after understanding the whole situation, he raised the corners of his mouth.
It would have been understandable to be shocked at the thought that his tail had already been caught, contrary to his plans, but he paid no attention at all.
Because we already had everything in place to deal with this situation.
“The guest came all the way here, so it wouldn’t be right for me to just leave him outside. Come here. Zhao Yanhuan!”
A series of commands followed by complex hand signs.
At the same time, the chakras that formed the barrier resonated, creating a strong suction force in a realm beyond the material world.
[Oh, oh···?]
Hoon, who was flustered, tried to respond in some way, but it was already too late to do anything.
dump-
The sound of something hitting the ground.
Lucette and General Bu-ryeong’s gaze turned towards him.
“···Wow, it can be like this too.”
There, Hoon, who had been forcibly sucked into the barrier, was sitting on the floor, looking around with a dumbfounded expression.
Using the power of communication, I broke through the barrier and made contact with Lucette inside, but before I could make the connection, I was pulled into the barrier.
As if the fisherman was drowning in the water from the force of the pull on the fishing line.
“Keukkeu, are you a scout from Yunga? You came all the way here after sniffing me out. You seem to be quite a capable hunting dog…”
General Bu-ryeong, who was laughing in a thin voice, glanced at Hoon.
This space is his own territory.
Once inside, there was no way to resist him unless he was as strong as Lucette.
The concentric circles engraved in his eyes rotated, digging into each and every one of his opponent’s inner selves.
“Hmm? You’re only at the lower level now? That’s unexpected. Your body seems to be quite well-trained.”

There was no way I could have gotten this far at that level.
He had been frowning at the sense of disconnect, but then opened his eyes wide as if he realized something.
“I see. You’re from another world? Then I can completely understand.”
These are beings who use a variety of abilities, not limited to chakras, and in some ways, show abilities that go beyond those of practitioners.
The number of people from another world sponsored by Yun Ga was over ten thousand, so it wouldn’t be strange if that man was one of them.
“You were unlucky. It seems like you have some talent, so if it were normal, I would have been able to persuade you somehow and use it···.”
If you let it pass like that, the other person has already seen something they shouldn’t have seen.
It might not matter much since the grand scheme had already begun, but I didn’t want to add one more variable that didn’t have to be risked just for that one person.
“Blame yourself for getting involved in something useless.”
“Mr. Hoon!”
The commander snapped his fingers.
At the same time, Lucette, who had lightning all over her body, moved like a ray of light and blocked Hoon’s path.
As always, her lightning strike changed nothing.
Phew—
The force that passed by as if completely ignoring her tore Hoon’s body apart.
A body that is so torn apart that its original shape is unrecognizable.
Lucette, with a dumbfounded expression on her face as the human body disappeared like smoke, breaking into tens, hundreds, and thousands of pieces, expressed her anger.
“Ugh, General Bu-ryeong! You···!”
“···Huh? What is that?”
But her anger couldn’t help but pause for a moment at the sight of her opponent’s bewildered expression.
He twitched the corners of his mouth with a stiff face.
“You tricked me? In this realm of the spirits?”
It didn’t take long for her to figure out why he was reacting that way.
“Wow, that’s surprising. Such a vicious attack out of the blue.”
A familiar voice is heard again.
She quickly turned her head in that direction and blinked blankly at the sight of Hoon standing on the tree.
“The secret art of the Hunryu Inbeopjutsu, the art of clones.”
Because he looked so normal, with a serious expression on his face and his fingers roughly crossed in a hand gesture.
“···What on earth are you doing?”
However, General Bu-ryeong could not just laugh it off despite his opponent’s appearance.
This place, Guilin, is entirely his own territory.
But to completely deceive and fool your own senses!
It was something that could never be overlooked.
“No, that’s fine. Anyway, it’s probably a unique skill or something that only people from another world can have.”
But he soon regained his composure and glared at Hoon with sharp eyes.
It didn’t matter what I did.
Even so, it won’t work twice.
‘Yeah, I just let my guard down a little while ago.’
Maintaining Guilin while also keeping Lucette in check was a considerable mental burden for him.
On the surface, he appeared to be completely ignoring and overwhelming her lightning strikes, but in reality, the effort he was putting in behind the scenes was no ordinary effort.
In that situation, how could you possibly focus entirely on a small fry that you thought was nothing special?
“This time, I will definitely rule it out.”
But now things are different.
He decided to get rid of that unidentified loach for sure, even if it meant taking on a little more burden.
Woohoo—
A ripple appeared in the concentric circles in General Bu-ryeong’s eyes.
As the Samun’s vision, ‘Dongsiman’, was activated to its extreme, the barrier that maintained Guilin began to twist here and there.
A power that a deep practitioner can use by borrowing the power of the barrier.
A groan echoed from all directions, and unidentifiable waves rose like tidal waves.
“···I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
A force that destroyed the space itself surged forward.
If you get caught up in that, you’ll be turned to dust before you can do anything.
If Lucette had the ability to build her own body, it might be okay, but Hoon, who still lacks the skill, needed to use a more special method to survive.
“The ultimate secret of the art of training.”
He made a seal again.
In fact, this act itself didn’t really have any particular meaning.
I just felt like doing it for some reason.
‘It’s about time Hoon started to develop his own personality.’
He let out a sly laugh, feeling somehow cheerful.
And he continued speaking softly, facing the storm that was rushing in all at once as if it were shaking the entire village.
“Ideological runaway.”
The name was grand, but in fact it was not much different from the previous “psychic communication”.
But the ultimate skill that opens the communication chakra and is used for the first time is—.
“Ugh!”
—With power of a different level than before.
It went straight into the enemy’s mind.
“Kkeukgeuk! Kkeuk!”
General Bu-ryeong, who had been staggering in place, bowed his back with a bloodshot face and groaned.
The storm that had been raging from all directions was already dispersing into pieces.
No, it didn’t stop there.
Crackle, crackle— crackle—
A sharp, tearing sound rang out.
The barrier that slowly began to collapse due to the center of Guilin shaking.
“Ah, ah, no. This is ridiculous. Eeeeek.”
General Bu-ryeong, his face ashen, stammered and grabbed his face, mumbling incomplete words.
Already, bright red blood was flowing out of his knuckles.
The concentric circles of the pupils, which had been at regular intervals, were blurred and distorted, forming an irregular orbit as if they would break at any moment.
“Huh, Mr. Hoon? This is···.”
Runaway thoughts.
The situation was turned upside down with just that one word.
Lucette, who had been very excited about him, spoke to Hoon cautiously with a bewildered expression.
She had already seen the results of that ability during the Yoon So-hoe kidnapping incident, but this was on a different level from what she had seen then.
‘That’s ridiculous. That general?’
The difference between the upper level practitioner and the deep level practitioner was only one level, but their level could not even be compared.
Depth is the state where one can see one’s inner image as having been ‘completed’ in one’s own way.
Naturally, it is not easily influenced by external stimuli, and a strong spirit does not collapse even when faced with extreme situations.
“Ah. Aaaah! I. No. Aaaah—!”
Of course, that kind of appearance must have been unfamiliar to her.
No matter how you look at it, doesn’t that look like a complete mental breakdown?
The ability to turn a deep practitioner into a wreck with just one word?
‘Would that be possible if we opened the astronomy?’
Maybe it is possible.
If you are a practitioner who has reached heaven through the path of magic.
She swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
‘That’s really amazing. In fact, if you have this, you might not need any other abilities.’
Hoon nodded in satisfaction as he looked around the rapidly collapsing Guilin.
I was worried that the output might be insufficient, so I added a bit of “limit breakthrough” to the chakra, and the effect was excellent.
If the previous “psychic communication” was at the level of injecting poison using a needle, the attack just now was no different from stabbing someone with a sharp iron pipe.
‘But considering the versatility, it would be better to have other means as well. This is too extreme.’
This training’s ultimate skill was the ability to have no middle ground.
Either it doesn’t work at all or it completely blows your mind.
Considering various situations, it seemed necessary to continue to train the “root of the ideal.”
“···Well, isn’t it good to be good? Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe. I was worried about you a lot.”
“Yes? Oh, yes! Thank you very much, Mr. Hoon. I have also received help from that child. I haven’t even repaid all the favors you have shown me before…”
Just after the gloomy forest scenery completely collapsed.
They were standing side by side in the middle of a forest that had suddenly turned red.
“Ugh… My, my lord General!”
“First, let’s start by taking care of the chakra that is flowing backwards!”
“This is ridiculous! How could this be···!”
Now, with the general writhing on the floor like a worm, and a number of attendants assisting Guilin.
Phagec—!
Lucette stepped forward, sparks flying from her entire body.
“···I will catch them.”
It was partly out of shame for being in a dangerous situation, and partly to secure witnesses for interrogation.
No matter how you looked at it, their leader, General Bu-ryeong, was in no condition to testify.
And it was only natural.
No matter how tired she was, there was no one who could stop her, a deep practitioner in this place.
‘Thank goodness everything ended well. Lucette is safe too.’
In fact, it wasn’t a situation where I could be happy that it ended well.
This incident revealed that the high-ranking officials of Hongsan Kingdom, one of the two great powers, were trying to do something to Yun Family.
I don’t know how many people within Hongsan-guk agreed with this, but it was clear that things would not be smooth going forward.
‘Of course, it has nothing to do with me as an outsider.’
Such complicated circumstances were a problem that Seongcheon Yunga had to resolve.
All you had to do was take care of what you wanted and pursue your own development.
…I thought so.
Until we realized that the flames of war that would engulf the entire continent were already right at our chins.
