Episode 791. The Great Stronghold, ‘Hwagwasan (Flower Fruit Mountain)’ (3)
No way… .
“Near-headed?”
The enemy reacted first.
There’s no way I wouldn’t know.
How could I not know?
The Jecheon Daeseong who commanded the entire 49th floor. And. the legendary Hwansu who could encompass all areas.
The rest of the kings and elders also looked at the appearance of the dark cloud with very tense faces.
The fact that Jecheon Daeseong came here in person was a crisis that could cause enormous damage, but it was also an opportunity to end this war.
however.
“I wish I had brought some candles with me when it was campfire time. So I could have had some time to think about my family.”
The one riding on the cloud was not Jecheon Daeseong.
“Kang Jin-hyeok… .”
He is the head of the Goinmul Corporation and one of the most important figures posing a threat in this war.
It may have been a bigger fish than Jecheon Daeseong.
But, at the moment, there was something more shocking than the value hanging around Jinhyuk’s neck.
“How on earth can you… control the near-dark cloud?”
The cloud near the head is the symbol of Jecheon Daeseong itself.
No one else can ever get above it.
That was the common sense of those on the 49th floor.
It was an immutable law that could not be broken.
But, it’s broken.
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“You guys don’t know that. I don’t see any of my friends. Did Barabys go buy some pork belly to grill?”
“Haha. I was wondering what you were talking about when you came here. Do you think we’re gathered here just to answer your questions?”
The enemy slowly got up from his seat.
Krrrr… .
A low-frequency roar that freezes human instincts.
Golden waves slowly rose from the sharp claws.
Indeed. Is this what a king is like?
My heart fluttered at the sight of his reckless belligerence and his immense magical power.
I want to fight.
Twelve. It wasn’t common to fight against those who had the title of ‘King’. Needless to say, it was a golden opportunity to copy and fuse very tasty abilities.
but.
Jinhyuk put back the First Blade that he had half-taken out of the subspace.
‘Not right now.’
We came here not to fight, but to shake things up.
“I came here on purpose to get to know you a little better, but you’ve been acting all rough and mean from the start, making me feel bad. Or was it really such a big secret that you went to find the True King?”
A word thrown out casually.
“… … !?”
“… … !!”
The kings’ expressions hardened in an instant.
“You… .”
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
“Answer me! How on earth did you know what we just learned!”
The statement he just made was so shocking that he couldn’t even control his facial expression.
The plan to throw out questions and get even a little bit of information from the other side also completely went down the drain.
Jinhyuk laughed inwardly.
Even that sly Nyarlathotep is always having a hard time, so what are you guys going to do?
If you want to blame yourself for trying to get into an information war with an old person, then blame yourself.
“Don’t you know the saying, ‘Birds hear what’s said during the day, and mice hear what’s said at night?’”
The chickens who were in office with the mice clan flinched for no reason.
As it happens, there are both rats and birds here.
I don’t know for sure, but I was sure that after this meeting was over, I would be dragged to the back and interrogated for a long time.
“You little rat… No, does that mean there’s a spy?”
“Well, what does it mean?”
“Don’t be fooled. It’s probably an attempt to sow discord. If there really was a spy in the first place, he wouldn’t have said such things to hide it.”
Baekhee snorted.
“That may be so. Or, he may have predicted it and twisted it once more. Either way, if I don’t find out the route through which I obtained the information, I’ll be hit in the back of the head with this war itself.”
It is enough to just throw out a meaningful word.
If you can light even a small spark of doubt during a time when you need to focus everything, will you be able to achieve proper efficiency?
I absolutely believe that is not the case.
“It’s time for the raccoon in the forest to be active. If you ignore the discipline of the scouts, you’ll be in big trouble.”
He didn’t forget to throw out something like a password to his colleagues inside.
Just imagining the pain of trying to figure out what this means makes my heart feel warm.
Jinhyeok, who had finished his work, stroked Geunduun’s fur.
“Where, are you just going to say what you want to say and then try to get out?”
Boom!

The enemy rushed in at once.
The claws of the fearsome beast sliced through the air.
but.
“See you later.”
Phew!
The dark cloud that had already left a long tail had disappeared from everyone’s sight.
***
Thanks to the near-dark clouds, I was able to buy some more time.
The absence of Umawang and Barabys, who were at their peak power, also played a big role in delaying the attack timing.
In the meantime, the monkeys were able to further strengthen the defenses of Mount Huaguo and devote themselves to treating the wounded.
And Jinhyuk also added various cards and accelerated his preparations for the coming great war.
“Okay, I’ll definitely succeed.”
Teresa nodded after reading the note.
A top secret mission where Jinhyuk takes only one summoned creature with him.
Depending on whether or not this was successful, the odds of winning could vary significantly.
“I will believe you.”
“yes!”
Teresa clenched her fists and ran straight out through the secret passage of the fruit tree.
“Hmm. Is it okay to entrust such an important task to a foolish saintess?”
“Ms. Teresa will do well.”
“… … .”
Ellis’s pupils narrowed at Jinhyuk’s warm gaze.
“why?”
“I don’t like that look in your eyes. Keep that affectionate expression for me only.”
“Not even a kid. What.”
“Just do it! Just do it to me!”
Ellis’s anger exploded.
Kukuku!
“Am I the enemy?”
“Come on! Everyone, get into defensive formation!”
The soldiers guarding the mountain immediately fixed their weapons.
“Okay, okay, okay, so calm down! Don’t force yourself too hard, and just use it when the enemies come!”
Only after Jinhyeok managed to calm her down did Ellis’s tyranny quiet down.
“It seems like you get along well with your colleagues.”
The frost spirit who had been watching everything chuckled.
A life of betraying one’s comrades and cutting down others without hesitation for one’s own gain. That was the dark side of the Tower that the Frost Spirit experienced and felt as he climbed the Tower of Trials, and at the same time, it was the only truth.
How many great powers have actually risen and fallen in the face of vested interests?
But this force is different.
The fence of colleagues.
We understand and cherish each other, and we cherish each other more than anything else.
It is a strange and unfamiliar sight.
Because it retained a purity that was completely out of place in the bloody upper reaches of the tower.
so that.
I was curious.
Could these people possibly accomplish what even the ancient climbers themselves could not?
And if possible… .
‘I want to be with you.’
Just being able to watch that great expedition from the same vantage point was worth it.
At least that’s what the Frost Spirit thought.
That was when.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A cloud of dust rose up with a loud noise that shook the entire mountain.
The enemies finally started to move in earnest.
“Everyone to your positions!”
“Don’t let anyone in!”
The commanders in charge of defense were busy moving around.
He has undergone rigorous training and has developed a smooth defense system.
It didn’t seem like they would give up their stronghold that easily with such elite units.
Jecheon Daeseong was also the first to step forward when he heard that enemies were coming.
“It’s going to be a tough fight.”
“Because there has never been a union of that level.”
“It’s sad. There have been many conflicts, but never before have we come together with the goal of extermination like we do now.”
There was always a line.
Anyway, I achieved a certain balance based on the pride I had in dominating the 49th floor.
However, with the intervention of the primordial beings, everyone began to desire more than they had.
The result was that someone had to disappear.
“It can’t be helped. It’s unfortunate, but I can’t let it happen. Above all, it’s just their greed that caused this. It’s not the fault of the Great Master Jecheon.”
“Haha. Thanks for saying that.”
Jecheon Daeseong chuckled.
And he added with a face that seemed to have become much more relieved.
“Be careful. I know your plan is brilliant, but ‘that place’ could be a lot more dangerous than you think.”
“I plan to be as careful as possible. It’s not like I have too many lives.”
“I still wonder how an outsider knew about that place, but I guess you can’t tell me?”
“Later… when everything is over.”
Jinhyuk trailed off.
“is it.”
Jecheon Daeseong didn’t ask any more questions.
I decided to understand that there must be a reason for it.
instead.
Pooh.
He pulled out a few more hairs and handed them over.
“There will be something you need to do. I hope you can use it well.”
A special relic that can create clones.
Oh, this is quite something.
I remember using it very usefully the other day.
“thank you.”
“Well then, I wish you good luck.”
It’s a fight with slim odds of winning.
It was only when everything fell into place that an opportunity to break through was created.
But why is that?
Jecheon Daeseong felt the center of his heart burning hot.
It’s not just because a battle is imminent.
Anticipation.
When I saw an outsider finding possibility in this desperate situation, I felt like I was seeing a projection of my past self.
He saved his clan in a desperate fight where everything was like hell.
Kuk.
Jecheon Daeseong, holding the Yeouibong, lowered his posture.
“I will open the way!”
Kukukukukukuku!
A huge storm was brewing.
A scene that dares not be described in words unfolded, and the enemies charging down from the bottom of the mountain were the first to feel the wrath.
like that.
Kwaaaaang!
Part of the mountain has completely disappeared.
***
The focus of attention created by the movement of Jecheon Daeseong.
Taking advantage of the commotion, Jinhyuk moved to the other side of the mountain.
Booooooo!
Jinhyeok and Ellis, who had climbed onto the near-death cloud, took their places at the very front.
“Hold on tight.”
“Uh, uh! Okay, I understand!”
Ellis hugged Jinhyuk tightly around the waist.
Because we were moving so quickly through the trees, it wasn’t easy to even open our eyes properly.
“Mosquitoes!”
“Wow, this kid is fast.”
“Ahahaha! This is thrilling!”
After that, the frost spirit riding on the sweet potato and Adele showed different reactions.
Here are Frey and T-Bone waiting in the subspace. Even Wolyoung is guarding them from the shadows.
The members of the small special forces unit have been confirmed.
‘I hope everyone is safe.’
Jinhyuk glanced behind him.
Kwakwakwakwang!
Phew!
Pillars of fire were seen rising here and there.
Itaewon and Medley, who specialize in defense, were given the task of defending Hwagwa Mountain together with Jecheon Daeseong.
Since you are in a defensive position, the risk won’t be that great, but the problem is that you have to hold out for a long time against that large number of enemies.
Especially since I couldn’t tell you when that promise would be fulfilled, the psychological burden was bound to be even greater.
“Are you worried?”
Ellis saw through his intentions.
“A little bit. But it’ll be okay. Because they’re the ones I can always trust and rely on.”
“That’s right. Right now, the best thing we can do is to do everything we can to help those children.”
A ruin located near Mt. Hwagwa. ‘The Root of the Mountain Range.’
The most pressing task at hand is to conquer that place.
