Episode 988
“Phew… .”
Mark Gotten sighed in relief as he checked on Raon as he entered the forest.
‘Still, it was worth following along.’
I followed him with all my might, thinking that I might be a nuisance to Raon, but fortunately, I was able to help him even just a little bit.
‘Now next is….’
It was when Mark Gotten rolled his eyes as he felt Raon’s energy running through the forest.
Kwarrrrrrung!
A bright yellow lightning struck from the darkening sky.
‘Magic? Sorcery?’
No, this is not the time to think about that.
I don’t know what power it took to summon that thunderbolt, but it had the power of a natural lightning bolt.
“Ugh!”
Mark Gotten set his left foot on the ground and raised his sword. He unleashed the Cheongryodo’s first form toward the pouring lightning.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
With his bright-blue sword, he cut through the bright yellow lightning and even cut down the wall of monsters that approached him.
‘It’s not time to feel relieved that you’ve sent Jeonju.’
Mark Gotten shook his head as he held the dragon’s horn and teeth.
‘We need to clean up this place as much as possible until Jeonju comes out again.’
If Raon is to save Merlin and escape this land, his role is important. He must somehow disintegrate Cheonrajimang before he can get out.
‘This is a place where you really have to risk your life.’
Although Raon had killed more than half of the monsters and Eden ghosts that had formed the Cheonrajimang, countless enemies still remained.
In particular, Eden’s executives were afraid of Raon and only sent their subordinates and monsters, so there were almost no deaths.
I had to deal with the sly lurking executives first.
‘Avoid grand masters and focus on masters.’
Now, within this formation, there exists a monster with the aura of a Grand Master.
It seemed best to avoid a direct confrontation and eliminate the Masters first.
‘Of course, the one you have to be most careful of is….’
Mark Gotten stopped collecting his thoughts and raised his Wall Dragon Sword to split the lightning bolts falling on his head.
‘But he’s the commander who dropped this lightning.’
I tried to find the commander who operated this network from atop a mountain overlooking the entire field, but he was nowhere to be seen.
He simply hid in the forest among the monsters, gave orders, and dropped lightning strikes by surprise.
Kyagyagyagya!
Mark Gotten narrowed his eyes as he warded off spears and arrows flying from the right and left.
‘The pressure of Cheonrajimang is still directed at the Lord.’
The ghosts of Eden were naturally more focused on stopping Raon than themselves. They had to take advantage of this moment when they were being ignored.
‘I’ll stop it somehow!’
Mark Gotten approached the entrance to the forest where Raon had entered, slashing at the green-robed ghosts of Eden.
‘You shouldn’t use too much force.’
I took a deep breath as I settled into my position. This battle was going to be a long one, so I had to fight while conserving as much strength as possible.
Kyaaaaah!
As Raon was about to step on the law again to block the entrance he had entered, a pair of swordsmen wearing red orc helmets and a sorcerer wearing a black troll mask moved toward the forest. Red pair of ghosts and black ghost. It seemed like the executives of Eden were going to chase after Raon.
‘Is it moving!’
Mark Gotten chewed the inside of his lip and swung his sword at the neck of the pair of red-faced men as they tried to enter the forest.
“hmm!”
As if he sensed his presence, the red-crowned demon turned around hastily and erected a wall of resistance with his twin swords.
Oh my god!
Mark Gotten broke through the enemy twin’s defenses with his thunderbolt-infused wall dragon sword, and sliced deep into the bastard’s shoulder.
“Ugh… .”
As I was chasing after the groaning, retreating enemy twins and trying to cut their necks, a black mass flew in from the right. It was the Black Soul Ghost’s command spell.
‘It’s dangerous.’
Mark Gotten frowned as he turned his attack into defense.
‘You never know what effect witchcraft will have. Let’s avoid it as much as possible.’
I cut down the sorcery that was coming at me like a wave and advanced towards the black ghost.
“Where are you going!”
The red twins swung their swords at his back as if they would not let him go. The fighting spirit that rose above the rusted blades surged forward as if it would shatter the aura.
“Because I have a prior engagement.”
Mark Gotten tilted his sword slightly to deflect the enemy twin’s attack, then charged towards the black soul’s left.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
He summoned the burning brain energy within his danjeon and unleashed the Cheongryodo’s first attack towards the black spirit’s chest.
Quaddududuk!
The Black Ghost used a defensive spell, but the Blue Dragon broke through the wall he had created, leaving a deep scar on his chest.
“Cough!”
The black ghost clutched his chest and vomited blood. Perhaps due to the sorcery, his flesh healed itself and his wounds healed, but the internal wounds would not be healed.
‘I can stop it well enough.’
Both Red Twins and Black Soul Ghost were high-level masters, but their experience was different from mine. It seemed like I could easily win if I faced them both at the same time.
Phage, phage, phage!
Mark Gotten raised the Wall Dragon Sword above his head. He summoned the blue lightning streak of the Cheongryodo Sword and pressed down on the Red Twin Ghosts and Black Soul Ghost at the same time.

“Hey, this guy!”
“How can we… when we are the same Master?”
The black ghost and the red ghost trembled their lips as if they were flustered at the situation where they were being pushed back even though they were attacking together.
Crackle! Crackle!
The arrows and magic that surged from behind were blocked by a wall of lightning, and the lightning blade was pushed towards the black ghost and the red ghost.
Quaddududuk!
Mark Gotten’s Wall Dragon Sword was about to break the Red Twin Swords and Black Soul Ghost’s staff and slit their throats.
Kuwaaaaaah!
The moment the eerie cutting sound rang in his ears, the wall he had created with his thunderbolts broke, and a chillingly sharp stab pierced his waist.
Crackle! Crackle!
He tried to block the oncoming slaughter by laying down the Wall Dragon Sword, but the energy contained within it was beyond his ability to handle without any preparation.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
Mark Gotten ended up being thrown far away, rolling roughly on the ground like a rock kicked by a child.
“Ugh… .”
Mark Gotten raised his head, vomiting black blood.
Swish.
A tall, muscular man approaches next to the black ghost he was trying to kill.
He held two pairs of sickles of different colors in his hands, and his limbs were abnormally long. He scratched the mantis helmet on his face and made a sound like he was flapping his wings.
“White wolf… .”
Mark Gotten swallowed hard as he looked at the man in the locust helmet.
‘Was that monster here?’
I thought the Grand Master was hiding, but I didn’t know it was that ghost.
‘Why did it have to be that guy…?’
White Wolf is an Eden officer who inherited the characteristics of the Giant Mantis Lord.
Unlike the ferocious Giant Mantis, it was a cautious yet cruel monster with excellent senses, making it difficult for an unmanned creature to deal with.
Swish!
The white wolf turned away to enter the forest, lowering his two scythes as if he was not interested in her.
“Ugh… .”
Mark Gotten stood up, his knees trembling.
‘You shouldn’t let that guy go.’
Right now, Raon can’t keep his composure because of Merlin.
If a white wolf that was hiding in the forest made a surprise attack while fighting the Transcendent One, even if it was a prelude, it could cause serious injury. I had to stop it at all costs.
Kuuuung!
He kicked the ground while charging the Wall Dragon Sword with an aura of power. He placed the Cheongryodo sword’s knot on the wildly burning thunderbolt and drew a lightning bolt.
“Idiot.”
The white-crowned crane fiercely raised the sickle it had been tilting while making a sound with its wings.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
A pure white ring of fire rose above the sharply rising scythe, slicing through Cheongryodo’s lightning bolt and even cutting through his own chest.
“Cough… .”
Mark Gotten stepped back, coughing up blood. As he tried to catch his breath to stop the bleeding from his chest, sword strikes and spells flew from the right and left.
Chiaaaang!
Red Twin Ghosts and Black Soul Ghosts. After recovering their breath during the time given by White Wolf Ghost, they thrust their swords at him.
‘shit!’
Mark Gotten held the bleeding wound on his chest with his left hand and stepped back, struggling to fend off the attacks of the Red Twins and Black Soul Ghost.
Oh my god!
Because his physical condition was not normal, he had difficulty blocking sword strikes and magic attacks that he had been able to block easily before.
Swish.
The white-crowned mantis turned around to go back into the forest, seemingly considering itself already dead. It seemed to be the nature of the Mantis Lord to only hunt prey that looked tasty.
‘Absolutely not!’
Mark Gotten pushed away the Red Twins and Black Soul Ghosts that were rushing towards him with their eyes lit up, using the lightning bolts of his Cheongryodo, and then ran back towards the forest.
“Stop!”
He exposed his chest with blood dripping down and swung his sword towards Baekrangwi’s scythe.
“This guy… .”
Baekrangwi frowned in surprise at Mark Gotten’s charge, which had grown stronger despite his injuries.
“I made a promise to the Lord…”
Mark Gotten’s eyes did not waver even in the face of the white wolf’s creepy murderous intent.
He held the gleaming sword in both hands and stamped his feet as if to break the earth.
“No one can cross this road until I die!”
***
“Is it okay?”
The crane looked back at the distant house and licked its lips.
“The Lord’s expression looked very serious….”
He lowered his eyebrows, saying he was worried about Raon.
“Well, it hasn’t been that long since I entered the Gwangpungjeon, but this is the first time I’ve seen a face like that.”
Trevin also let out a low groan as if he was concerned about Raon.
“I’ve been seeing Raon ever since I was a trainee, but I’ve only seen him have one expression like today….”
Dorian scratched his cheek, clearly concerned that something serious was going on.
“Yeah. It was serious.”
Burren nodded calmly.
“I wanted to follow you.”
He clicked his tongue briefly, saying that he was debating whether to go together.
“I thought about it, why didn’t you go?”
The crane tilted its head as if curious.
“Because there was a guardian behind Raon.”
Burren shrugged and said that was all.
“That person values Raon more than his own life.”
He snickered, saying that part was the best in the war.
“The reason the guardian becomes stronger is to help Raon.”
Martha nodded as if she didn’t know.
“After Raon, the only ones who practice the most in the Gwangpungjeon are the three of us and that person.”
She smiled faintly, saying that Mark Gotten’s enthusiasm was not inferior to theirs.
“Yeah. You don’t have to worry.”
Runaan nodded, looking up at the purple sunset sky.
“We’ll both come back smiling.”
***
“Whew… .”
Mark Gotten vomited purple blood with a blank expression on his face.
‘I’m really going to die like this.’
Although the attacks of the Black Ghost and the Red Twin Ghosts could be blocked, each and every one of the White Wolf Ghost’s attacks were so fierce that it threatened one’s own soul.
If my concentration had waned even just a little, my throat would have been cut off long ago.
‘There’s a reason why Jeonju did concentration training.’
At the time, I thought it was hell, but in practice, it was a huge help.
Kyaaaaah!
As I was trying to calm my breathing by repelling the black ghost’s spell and deflecting the enemy twin’s sword strike, the white ghost’s scythe fell. The hair on my entire body stood on end as I was heading in an unavoidable direction.
‘If you don’t stop it…’
Attack!
Mark Gotten recalled the insight he had gained from Raon and swung his Wall Dragon Sword at the flying White Wolf’s scythe.
Kuwaaaaaah!
The wall dragon sword that collided with the scythe of the white tiger bends as if it would break.
He was making up for his lack of strength with the power of the weapon itself. If it weren’t for the sword made from the dragon’s horn by the continental leader Balkan, he would have died long ago.
“What a tough guy.”
As Baekrangwi waved his hand as if he was annoyed, his scythe fluttered like the wings of an insect.
‘What the… Ah!’
Mark Gotten concentrated on the movement of the scythe and then threw himself hastily to the left.
Paaaaah!
But it was already too late, as his waist was dug deep and blood poured out again.
“Cough… .”
I tried to stop the bleeding with an aura, but the cut was so sharp that the bleeding didn’t stop easily.
“It’s the end now.”
“You leech!”
The Black Ghost and Red Twin Ghosts rushed in as if they would not miss this opportunity, and poured out sword strikes and spirit-filled sorcery.
‘I don’t have time to breathe…’
Mark Gotten blocked the attacks of the Black Ghost and Red Twin Ghosts by setting up a path without even giving his wounds time to stop bleeding.
‘My head is starting to spin… .’
My vision was blurry, my thinking was rapidly slowing down, and I felt like I had lost so much blood that I was in a really dangerous state.
Swish!
Instead of going into the forest like before, the white wolf slowly approached as if stalking its prey. It seemed as if he was going to finish it off himself.
‘It turned out well.’
Mark Gotten let out a small laugh.
‘I’m sure I’ve wasted enough time.’
I don’t know where Raon is because I’m so exhausted, but he’ll definitely be able to save Merlin and come back.
[White Wolf! Don’t worry about the dead guys, and chase after Raon Sieghart!]
As Baekrangwi slowly raised his scythe, a dull voice came from somewhere in the air.
Seeing him say such things to Baekrangwi, it seemed like he was the commander who had formed this Cheonrajimang.
“Tsk.”
The white-crowned crane seemed to think that was right, clicked his tongue briefly, and quickly turned away.
‘It’s not working yet…’
If I send Baekrangwi now and Raon is attacked by surprise, I won’t be able to close my eyes even if I die. I have to hold him for at least one minute. No, I have to hold him for at least one second.
‘You can move. You have to do it.’
I memorized the movements of the Black Ghost and the Red Twin Ghosts. If I quickly cut down the two and move, I might be able to catch the White Ghost’s feet a little more.
‘From the law… ugh!’
I tried to step back by stepping on the law, but my body wouldn’t move properly.
In the blurry vision, all I could do was defend against the attacks of the Red Twins and the Black Soul Ghost.
‘If it can’t be done physically…’
Mark Gotten looked up, chewing his lip.
‘We have to stop it in some other way!’
After pushing away the red twin ghosts and black soul ghosts a little with the little lightning at the tip of his finger, he straightened his back.
“White Wolf! Are you afraid of me?”
Mark Gotten twisted his lips as he called the White Wolf’s name.
“You keep running away! You’re not a bug for nothing!”
He set up a wall dragon sword, shouting that if it wasn’t scary, he would fight himself.
“That crazy guy… .”
The white-crowned man twisted his mouth and raised his scythe again.
“I’ll cut that snout straight off!”
[Stop wasting time! Go into the forest!]
As he was about to fiercely swing his scythe, the commander’s voice was heard again.
“White Wolf… .”
[I’m going to finish this guy off!]
As I was about to call the White Wing again, the entire dark sky flashed red, and a huge bolt of lightning struck, blocking my vision.
Kuuuuuuuu!
Mark Gotten gasped as lightning struck his head in an instant.
‘Is this… a real lightning strike?’
It was different from the lightning strikes he had unleashed so far. It was deep, grand, strong, and flexible.
‘and….’
Be free.
Unlike his own magic that simply shaped lightning to fit the herbivorous nature, that lightning was freely stretched out to the point where it could go anywhere in the world.
‘Yes. Originally, lightning was… .’
Since it falls from the sky, it should be able to go anywhere.
‘Then my magic too… .’
When I realized that lightning and the way to draw it must be free, all the countless Taoist techniques that had been filling my mind sank away.
The only thing that fills the empty space is a single line.
However, the line was free enough to extend anywhere.
Swish!
Mark Gotten lifted the Wall Dragon Sword with his fingers that had lost all their strength. He lowered his eyes, recalling the blue lines engraved in his mind.
Kwarrrrrrrr!
A blue light bloomed above the Wall Dragon, dyeing the heavens and earth in all directions, and within it, a sound of thunder that sounded like the sky was going to fall down resonated.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The lightning struck by the commander of the Heavenly Sword did not strike Mark Gotten, but rather flashed red and swirled around him as if it had become his power.
“Hey, stop it. Stop it now!”
As if realizing that Mark Gotten was now in danger, Baekrangwi raised his two sickles and fired a red and blue slash. The two colored rings mixed together to form the shape of a giant sickle.
“this guy!”
“What are you doing now!”
The Red Twins and the Black Soul Ghost also felt the creepiness and exploded all their energy, pouring out their spirits.
Cheeeeeeek!
Mark Gotten drew the dragon map above his head without taking an inch of step back.
Cheongryodo is the best.
Manpasinkyul.
What Mark Goaten expresses is neither magic nor ignorance. The beliefs he has built up so far have fallen with the blue lightning.
Kuwaaaaaah!
The body of the white ghost was torn apart by countless lightning bolts that seemed to depict the sky itself, and the very existence of the red twin ghosts and black soul ghost was erased.
Phew!
Mark Gotten raised his hand holding the Wall Dragon Sword, feeling the power surge through his body as if resonating with heaven and earth.
Woof woof woof!
The commander of Cheonrajimang now seemed to be on guard and concentrated the pressure of his formation.
Kugugugugugu!
The ghosts and monsters of Eden that formed the genie also began to rush towards Raon instead of chasing him.
“Haaah….”
Mark Gotten straightened his slightly bent back and stood up. Terrible pain enveloped his mind, his body shook so much that it would not be strange if he collapsed at any moment, and although there were numerous enemies blocking his way, he did not seem to be losing to anyone.
Kuuuuung!
Mark Gotten stood in front of the entrance to the forest where Raon had entered and stepped on the ground. He let out the anger boiling in his chest as he faced the monsters and the great army of Eden that were fiercely advancing.
“Come! I am the guardian of the storm!”
