Look at this guy. He’s still so curt.
“Director.”
“……
Why are you going this way, Captain…
Sir/Madam. This place is… …
It’s on the opposite side of the entrance.
He answered Go A-ryeom, who was formerly a disciple of the Kunlun Sect and is now a member of the First Generation.
The exit isn’t only on the east side.
It is a very natural assumption to think that the path you came in is the path you can get out of.
Because the path chosen by the escapees, led by Gongdong, was also the eastern entrance.
Then where are we going?
Of course, we are going west.
“W-west?”
“okay.”
“But there…”
“That’s right. It’s where the Demon Realm is.”
There is a question I kept thinking about the entire time I was planning the operation: ‘Why’ did they do this?
I can be certain that their goal is our annihilation.
Then ‘why’ do they move in this way?
There would have been plenty of more efficient and effective ways.
Even without relying on trivial things like divine curses, they could have easily used methods befitting the madmen of the battlefield to charge in recklessly like cannibals.
But ‘why’ didn’t he do that?
The answer was surprisingly simple.
Spirit Vein
They also hid their appearance until we gathered in the center of the base.
Leading the survivors and throwing them into the encampment.
The reason the net of heaven and earth currently spread out has less killing intent than the net of heaven and earth they originally use is all the same.
Those guys also cannot be completely free from the flow of the ‘spirit vein’.
No, perhaps the energy of the spirit veins is highly likely to be incompatible with the unique ‘demon energy’ emitted by those guys.
If we assume this, various stories fit together.
The monsters, who would not attack unless they felt threatened, also started to attack.
Even though they had a plan for annihilation in place, deploying the Jeoummarangdan, whose demonic energy is not strong, fits everything perfectly.
That is why we go to the demon realm.
The path forward will become more arduous and difficult, but the enemies will suffer just as much.
Because in order to attack us, they will also have to deal with monsters.
This is the first ash I prepared to ruin the feast.
“It, it’s a monster!”
Although I hadn’t even reached the Demonic Cult’s encirclement yet, I encountered a monster inside that was steeped in killing intent.
“Wh-what? Your eyes are bright red?”
Perhaps suffering from a nervous breakdown after being exposed to life for a long time, the One-Horned Gentleman lunged at us as soon as he saw us.
Pow pow!
Bang bang!
Thanks to the gathering of the personnel with the greatest destructive power and internal energy, the One-Horned Gentleman was instantly annihilated without even a shred of his bones remaining, but no one speaks well of such a wasteful response.
“Are you just going to fight today and tomorrow and be done with it?! You need to know when to stop!”
The real enemy is not a monster.
Moreover, if they waste their internal energy to the point of rendering their forms unrecognizable, there will be no one left in the First Battalion standing upright before today is over.
“There is no such thing as a break in between. It means that for at least three days, there will be no time to sleep or practice energy cultivation.”
“four!”
A sharp, disciplined answer came back.
They must have finally realized clearly what their situation is.
“…….”
Just run.
When a monster appears while running, they fight it, and in the process, they coordinate their movements one by one.
The reason for securing strict obedience from the academy students in the first place was to implement an assault formation.
Assault formation used in the later stages of the Great War of the Demon Lords.
Not a unit formed by political forces.
Tactics for a unit designed to fight for real and escape for real.
And the key to this escape strategy lies in enabling as many people as possible to escape with minimal damage.
Therefore, I issued a single absolute command. [Never stop moving.]
The same goes for meeting an enemy.
If I can’t kill them, I’ll just leave them behind and run. The people behind will take care of it.
It is a camp for that purpose, and a unit formation for that purpose.
You never know how many will die.
As far as I can remember, I have never formed a unit with this many inexperienced people, not even in my previous life.
Nevertheless, I believe.
Because we have gathered all the elites from every sect.
If he performs just as well as he boasted, we will be able to escape with the absolute minimum sacrifice.
How far have I run?
Ilgak, drenched in monster blood, urgently calls out to me.
“Jin Siju!!”
I said I’m the team manager.
As I lift my head, I see the dimly lit henchmen of the Demonic Cult in the forest.
“All units, prepare for battle!!!”
Not only the unit that mainly opened the way, but all units draw their weapons.
Let’s go!!!
At my call, the three and four divisions take charge of the left and right wings, respectively.
Unlike the members of the first unit, whose abilities are all equally developed, the third and fourth units, composed of those with a single deadly move, become the arrowheads that break through the enemy’s encirclement.
Kwadadadang.
Bang! Bang!
Two units clash with ear-splitting explosions.
The first large-scale battle the academy students are facing off against.
Naturally, the number of deaths increased rapidly.
“Aargh!”
“Burp!”
In a standard duel, the match begins with a kick-off, during which a feint is shown to the opponent to gauge their level.
but.
“Ugh!”
If you cannot get rid of this habit, you cannot survive on the battlefield.
One-Shot Kill!
You must take the opponent’s life in a single move.
“Because the opponent will take my life next.” I told you that over and over again… …! A habit ingrained in one’s body can’t be easily removed.
Moreover, a desperate situation with countless opponents rushing in.
“It won’t be easy to maintain my composure. I need to conserve my internal energy.” There was no time for lengthy calculations.
If the damage increases, the survival rate will continue to drop.
Rumble rumble.
Uncontrollable vibrations squirm in my hand.
“Snap out of it, you bastards!”
He shot out Gwangcheonsinjang along with a curse.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa bang!
For a moment, a gaping gap appears, but just as water that has been scooped out rises again, the minions of the Demonic Cult block the gap.
“Forget the feints! It’s a one-hit kill no matter what! If we can’t break through this, we’re all going to die here together!”
“Break through!”
“Push!!”
Three and four who have regained their senses
The soldiers scream in anger.
Support group five and six
The unit members are three and four
The soldiers fill the vacant spots left by the fallen.
The Life and Death Squad thus became a single arrow and began to push back the encirclement.
Wields the Socheon Sword Technique.
Just like in a past life.
Swinging wildly.
With the sole determination to survive.
However, if there is anything that has changed.
The unfolding result.
If the Socheon Sword Technique of the previous life was merely desperate to block the Demon’s sword.
Scratch! Scratch! Scratch! Scratch!
The current Socheon Sword Technique slashes demons with sword energy.
It is not about covering myself and my comrades in blood and swallowing it.
Covered in and swallowing the filthy blood of the demon.
One shot.
Another shot.
Move forward.
Unlike my previous life, where I took a step back every time.
And for the first time, I realize.
There was always a fallen comrade at the tip of the sword as I stepped back and swung it.
The fact that at the tip of the sword swung as you advance forward, there are only fallen enemies.
“Let’s gooooo!!!”
He lets out a storm of explosive emotions with his voice.
Like dense vines.
Like a solid iron wall.
A slight opening is appearing in the enemies who hadn’t budged.
The scenery of the dense forest, which was hidden from view, begins to appear faintly.
“Let’s gooooo!!!”
I glanced over and saw Nam Hwa-seong, covered in blood, screaming like a bear.
The two guys, as if they had already joined forces, shouted in unison following Nam Hwa-seong.
“Let’s goooo!”
“Let’s goooo!”
“Kill him!!!”
One
Two
The price pushes forward at the same time.
The arrowheads become sharper, and the siege begins to bend.
and.
“I’m being pushed back!!!!”
Finally, they started to retreat.
I drew up the Taeeul Jingyeong with all my might and unleashed the Manhae Cheonji Geomgyeol.
As the six Ten Thousand Swords were created and the Twin Heaven Sword Technique unfolded, a massive storm of swords began to sweep in all directions.
As if sensing the crisis, the Kukakakakakang guys broke through their battle formation and unleashed the hidden demonic energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the myriad swords and demonic energy clash, massive explosions erupt in succession, followed by the unfolding of the Great Brahma Heavenly Divine Art, filling the area with the sound of explosions and radiance.
Then, the members of the unit each unleash their final finishing moves one after another.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff!
The entire area was devastated, as if swept through by a thunderbolt.
As the demon sect members who had failed to retreat in time were swept up in the attack, a hole was finally broken in the encirclement.
Run!!!
The encirclement, which was nothing more than a small hole for a moment, was three
The four
Thanks to Daega rushing to clear the surroundings, it widened even more.
When those guys shake off the aftermath of the explosion and get back up, five
Dae and the rest of the squad members attacked them and escaped the encirclement.
“Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!”
“Ugh! Gasp…!”
I gasp for breath and let out a hot sigh.
Since it is everyone’s first time experiencing such chaos.
There are also many people whose physical strength has been completely depleted.
I suffered a tremendous loss of physical strength in an instant while going through something tremendous.
But I can’t stop.
Because the moment you stop, you will be surrounded again.
For now, I should simply be grateful just to have shaken off the deadly web and escaped.
I reminded myself once again of the single absolute command.
“Magyeong! Ride only as far as Magyeong! I’ll slow down after that!”
I don’t say things like I can rest.
Even if I try hard to move my body with vain hope, I will collapse soon.
It simply makes us realize that we are struggling and floundering in despair, and that this is the only thing we must do and can do.
So that I can keep my body moving constantly, without being able to think of anything else.
“J-Jin Siju. Those guys from earlier…….”
Yeah, guys who get distracted like this are always the ones who cause trouble.
“A moment. After everything is over.”
Those with a fairly good intuition have probably already noticed.
Whether the opponents have mastered certain martial arts.
This magic is too persistent and distinctly unpleasant to simply dismiss as a misunderstanding or a coincidence.
“Right now, who the opponent is does not matter at all. Surviving somehow. That is the only important issue.”
Is the siege just the end?
Then the escapees wouldn’t have fired a red flare either.
There will be continuous preparations for what comes next, and preparations for what comes after that.
I turned my head five
I looked at the battalion. The battalion to which most of my team members belonged.
Eunho, who made eye contact with me while running.
Fortunately, his expression was solemn and serious.
‘Even Eunho wouldn’t be able to completely hide his expression.’ ‘I hope he’s okay…’ With that thought as the last one, I erased thoughts of my team members.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to save them all.
It wasn’t something I should have said to those who had just come from the brink of death, but I still had to say it.
Never stop! Life
It’s right up ahead!
“””four!”””
Unlike when we first set out, answers are being heard from here and there.
They must have realized it from just one clash.
The fact that it no longer matters which sect one belongs to or what position one holds within the academy.
I am the same way.
Not the Black Flame Dragon of this life.
The time has come to become the meat shield of my past life.#“Three ranks forward. Five ranks around the bushes!”
At my shout, the members of the unit all prepare their tension in unison.
“firing!”
They unleash their tension in unison at the signal.
At a level that is neither too big nor too small.
The natural formation was shattered in an instant, opening a path for the students to pass through.
There is a risk of exposing our location to the enemy, but what can be done?
If I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t be able to take all of these people with me.
“Gasp, gasp, gasp!”
As expected, after crushing Cheonyeonjin, those suffering from exhaustion appeared.
at that time.
It’s time for a shift change!
The shout of Nam Hwa-seong, the leader of the Second Division, rang out, and the members of the First Division retreated.
It may be nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to fortune.
Since I am not even using my divine technique right now, I can hope to recover a little internal energy while running slowly from behind.
“Jin So-un, back off!”
Nam Hwa-seong spoke to me worriedly.
Of course, I want to rest too.
I am using the Qing Gong, but I used up too much internal energy breaking through the encirclement.
but…….
“I’m not giving orders to Danju. You arrogant bastard.”
The worry is finding the way.
There is also a guide. You can rest a little, too.
Moreover, there are even Demonic Cult bastards in this forest right now.
It would be fine if we were just reading the spirit veins, but shouldn’t we also have countermeasures against the Demonic Cult members who might burst out at any moment?
In that respect, the members of Namgwonmun actually tended to lack a sense of energy.
So, I must hold this position.
I’m fine. Don’t worry.
“Damn it, if you collapse, I’m not responsible. I’ll leave you behind, so keep that in mind.”
Don’t you know you shouldn’t use the word ‘shit’ when talking to Danju?
“If you want to discipline me, make sure I survive.”
Anyway, what a funny bastard.
I told you, they cheer strangely.
A moment and one
The troops backed away and two
The squad members start filling in next to me.
“Those with strength left, step forward first. We must destroy Cheonyeonjin.”
“Master, are you alright? You look a mess.”
“Go back and take a break. You seem to be pushing yourself too hard for a while now…”
He probably looks a mess because he’s covered in the blood of those Demonic Cult bastards and the corpses of monsters.
I’m still okay. Don’t worry.
“How ignorant…”
How dare you speak such rebellious words to Danju?
Just as I was contemplating whether or not to punish him immediately, he took out a small wooden box from his pocket.
“Look, you have a wound on your shoulder. It won’t heal right away just by applying it, but please put some on for now. If it gets infected, you might have to have your arm amputated later.”
Just as he said, there was a long sword mark on his shoulder.
When did this appear?
I accepted the wooden box.
Use it well.
If Danju loses his arm, he won’t be able to stand at the forefront anymore.
Saying that, he runs half a step ahead of me.
“Why are those bastards from the Jeongdohoe so dishonest? ‘Let’s focus!’ Now is not the time to worry about other things.”
He holds the sword, infuses it with internal energy, and swings it.
Break through the natural defenses, slay monsters, and keep moving forward.
Bang! Bang! Crash! Crash!
The leaders take turns clearing the path.
Without even a moment to replenish my exhausted energy.
How far did I run like that?
I shouted softly at the unpleasant sensation.
The bastards are coming.
I didn’t think they would give up just because the siege was broken.
Of course, they must have prepared the next move.
Gasp, gasp, gasp.
The face of the person running at the very front turns deathly white.
With a pained expression as if struggling to breathe, his veins bulged out. ‘This is… …’ A sign of magic addiction.
“It is a sight I have seen countless times in my past lives. ‘Even if I am exhausted, to see symptoms of addiction this severe.’ Are there guys scarier than I expected?”
As the sun set, darkness descended upon Mukrim, becoming thicker than usual.
