Episode 315 One step forward, one step back (2)
gulp.
Dry saliva flowed down Su Soo-myeong’s throat.
Because Jinhyuk has beaten me to my core over the past few days, I have now reached a point where I am more afraid of Jinhyuk than Soyouhyeon.
In particular, the fear that So Myeong felt was beyond imagination as he saw a formidable expert named Cheon Yoo Seong lose his soul in front of Jin Hyeok.
‘If you offend the author, you might end up begging him to kill you.’
Su Ming instinctively felt it.
If there is a person in the world that you should not touch the most… … .
That it is that evil spirit.
Right then.
Jinhyuk’s mouth moved gently.
-If you say something useless, you will die. Is. all.
Creepy!
Goosebumps arose all over Soyoumyeong’s body.
“T-That’s for sure. He never used any strange moves, and I saw him cut off his head with my own eyes with a martial arts technique that seemed to have been practiced outside the tower. I guarantee it. So you can believe it. Yes! That’s right.”
Su Ming nodded the most vigorously in the world.
“Yu, famous?”
Soohyun opened her eyes wide.
He was a student who was always calm and collected.
But you look so frivolous.
“One of the disciples of the Shaman sect… seems strange today.”
“He was a talent with high expectations even among the lesser dragons, and the fight against the Heavenly Demon Church must have been fierce.”
“Are you saying you were scared?”
“Hehe. Amitabha Buddha.”
Representatives of other factions also looked at Su Ming in disbelief.
However, So Myeong didn’t even care about such gazes.
It’s a natural thing.
They won’t come to your bed tonight with a knife.
I wouldn’t enjoy force-feeding him strange foods or writhing in pain.
“I promise on my name. That person… no, he is not a spy for the Church of the Heavenly Demon, nor is he deceiving us with lies.”
Soyoumyeong declared once again.
All alone.
With only the thought of having to live filling my head.
***
Thanks to Soo-myeong’s testimony, things went quite smoothly.
Since one of the shaman’s disciples vouched for Jinhyeok, who would dare criticize him?
Doubting his words was like doubting the words of a shaman.
There were many people who did not like this, but at least they could not openly show hostility.
“Haha. All this… I will use this very usefully. Stop lingering and give it away quickly. That too.”
In the end, five treasures disappeared from the treasure warehouse temporarily stored by the Murim Alliance.
Jinhyuk personally went to the warehouse and selected the treasures he wanted.
It was unfortunate that I only received 5, but this isn’t a bad result.
‘It’s really good for your eyes.’
Jinhyeok, who returned to the private lodging provided by the opening, immediately laid out the treasures he had acquired on the bed.
Of course, the one that caught my eye the most out of the five was a long sword with a blade as white as snow.
[Hwamu Plum Sword]
Attack power: 26,400
Durability: 5,000 / 5,000
Contents: A sword made of iron that lasts 10,000 years is a treasure of treasures given only to those who have received the title of Plum Sword Master. As long as the will of the person holding it is not broken, this sword will never break.
Originally, the Flower and Plum Sword was a holy relic that could not be obtained.
It was something he experienced when he was wiped out, but Hwasa’s pride meant he would never give up this sword.
but,
What if it is not related to the fate of the volcano, but to the future of the entire martial forest?
Is one sword really more serious than turning everything under the Heavenly Demon Church into ashes?
The answer is now in your hands.
Sreung!
Jinhyuk pulled out the sword from its sheath.
A sword light that was enough to sting your eyes poured out.
‘It was true that it made it possible for even those without internal strength to use sword skills.’
I don’t feel any weight.
The balance was also perfect, and I couldn’t help but admire it.
furthermore.
The shaman’s ‘jasodan’ and Kunlun’s ‘cloud-white robe’ are also items that are not commonly seen.
First, Jasodan had the effect of increasing magical power by as much as 75 stats when taken.
In terms of level, it means raising the level by 25.
I think I understand why the independent faction cherishes this.
On the other hand, the Unro White Coat increased movement speed by 30% and had the rebounding power to repel a considerable amount of sword energy.
‘There’s no way they will just give all of this away.’

First, they will put out the fire, and then when the situation calms down, they will show their teeth to get back the stolen sword and sacred items.
It is human nature to boil and kill hunting dogs that have no longer been useful.
We have already seen life through the eyes of Ha Hae-hwa and Dan Mok-il.
but.
‘cute. Working hard on a head that doesn’t work.’
The rosy future they envision will not happen.
Because in this political battle, the person who laughs last has already been decided.
Jinhyuk activated his personal status window.
Tiring!

First, you need to deal with the Simma Command and distribute the obtained stats.
‘Maybe it’s because the level is level, but now even if you deal with such a strong enemy, the limit is to go up about 3 levels.’
It certainly seems like the amount of experience required has risen to an absurd level.
[Agility increases from 58 → 67!]
All of Jinhyuk’s stats were invested in agility.
Considering Sima Zi’s characteristics, it was necessary to increase reaction speed and movement speed.
next… … .
Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to the red-tinted herbal medicine.
‘Jasodan’
It is an elixir with excellent effects in improving internal strength.
‘So Yu-hyeon gave me this because she thought I wouldn’t be able to take it anyway.’
The more effective an elixir is, the more important it is how to take it.
This is because if you just swallow it in one go, the bet will flow back and you will fall into a coin trap or become a ruiner.
“Whew.”
After catching his breath, Jinhyuk put the Jasodan in his mouth.
Unlike its solid appearance, the perilla powder instantly melted and disappeared the moment it touched the tongue.
The fragrant smell spread throughout my mouth.
[Lv7 ‘Jintaecheong Hwarang Simbeop’ is activated!]
A hot fireball began to travel up my esophagus and swirl through my body.
It’s important from now on.
Jinhyuk sat cross-legged and operated the absorbed bet.
Delicate work where not a single mistake is tolerated.
Only when the mind method and bet are perfectly unified can Jasodan be completely converted into magical power.
Of course, I have absorbed even more extreme readings than Jasodan. Jinhyuk wasn’t the type to be scared at this level.
Kukukukukuku!
The refined bet fluctuated even more violently.
My neck and back were drenched in cold sweat.
How long has it been like that?
[Magic power increases by 75!]
The intense heat that felt like swallowing molten iron disappeared like a lie.
All magical energy was completely absorbed.
‘… … ‘Hoo.’
Is it because I raised the stats equivalent to level 25 at once?
Unlike when you increase your agility, the feeling is definitely different.
What can I say?
I feel like my senses have become more sensitive now.
The buzzing sound of flying insects.
The presence of rats on the ceiling moving quickly.
and… … .
You can also hear someone full of anger running to the door.
huh? Someone full of anger?
no way… … .
Jinhyuk, who was tilting his head, hastily took off.
Quaaaang!
The door shattered with a loud noise.
“I finally found it. You f*cking bastard! I held on and held on, just thinking about cutting off your head.”
Cheon Yu-seong pulled out his sword and unleashed a terrifying killing force.
Although his body was covered in wounds, he still seemed to have saved the strength to swing his sword.
“Yuseong! I’m really… so glad you’re safe. I couldn’t sleep at night because I was afraid something might have gone wrong… so bad.”
Jinhyuk blushed.
Before I knew it, I was even pretending to wipe my eyes with a handkerchief.
“Get rid of this useless acting! Do you think I will ever forget the atrocity you committed that drove me to my death!”
Grumble!
Blue energy surged from Cheon Yu-seong’s sword.
This is sincere. I’m trying to kill you with all my heart.
“Uh huh. You’re putting me in danger. I even prepared this for you who went through a hard time, so what kind of shame is that?”
Stop.
Cheon Yu-seong, who had raised his sword high, froze.
“Hwamu… you’re giving me the plum sword? To me?”
He was born with almost no material desires, but there was only one.
His greed for the sword was extraordinary.
Since there were no useless weapons after the attribute sword, acquiring a good weapon was the top priority.
But he said he would give me one of the best swords in the martial arts world… … .
The boiling anger was put on hold.
Die or be killed. The resolve to achieve one of the two has suddenly disappeared.
Jinhyeok waved the sword engraved with plum blossoms in front of Cheon Yuseong’s eyes.
“You want it? Huh? You don’t have anything like this at home, right?”
“…….”
Boom!
Just as Cheon Yu-seong was about to snatch it, Jin-hyuk quickly pulled his sword back in half a beat.
Sigh! Whilick!
I quickly tried to grab the sword once again, but once again Jinhyuk was a little faster.
“Huh! You said you would give it to me, but what are you doing?!”
“I’ll give it to you. Are you saying I’ll give it to you? Instead, there’s one thing I have to do before that.”
“What kind of nonsense are you trying to make me do? Even if I die, I won’t do anything that makes my belly button bigger than my stomach.”
“What do you think of people….”
It’s different this time.
“You just need to act as my bodyguard for one night.”
“Bodyguard? Whose? Surely it can’t be you?”
“No, not me. It’s about our exorcism.”
The sweet potato that was hiding under the blanket stuck its head out.
“mosquito!”
“Okay, okay. Our mosquito. Did you sleep well? Are you hungry?”
“Mosquito mosquito!”
At the word “food,” the sweet potato’s eyes sparkled.
It was a bonus to have drool running down the corner of my mouth.
“I’ll make sure you eat as much delicious food as you can in no time. Do you see this unlucky guy who looks like a gisaeng brother? This guy will watch over you while you eat.”
“Wait a minute! What do you mean by guarding while eating? You wouldn’t need guarding while eating at a normal restaurant, right?”
“It’s not an ordinary restaurant.”
“Then where is it?”
Of course… … .
“These are magic stones from the Murim Alliance’s treasure trove.”
When I went there earlier, I saw that there was a mountain of magic stones stored as loot from the empire.
I wonder how strong the sweet potato will become if it eats all of it… … .
I’m already looking forward to it like crazy.
“……So. You’re going to ruin it for me while your pet steals and eats the Murim League?”
“huh.”
“If I get caught, I’ll take full responsibility and use the dumb tank?”
“huh!”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
“Oh. And one more thing. Our exorcist will find something there, and I want you to bring that too.”
Unlike the famous Hwamu Maehwageom or Jasodan, this is a sacred relic whose existence itself is unknown.
That’s why I didn’t ask for it just a moment ago.
It was obvious that if I asked, they would deny the fact itself.
However, with the sweet potato’s sense of smell, you will be able to find the sacred relic hidden in a secret room.
“From eating without a gun to stealing… this is what you should do.”
“While we are at it, please also destroy the evidence. It would be better to use a creative method other than arson. They are so shocked that it is difficult to even think about responding.”
“Ha… you will be assigned to the hottest place in hell later.”
“Then, you will be next to me.”
“…….”
Let me say any more. Did you realize that it only increases your blood pressure?
Cheon Yu-seong let out a long sigh.
“……Instead, I will accept it as a black advance payment.”
“However much.”
Jinhyeok handed the Hwamu Maehwa Sword to Cheon Yu-seong.
With this, recruiting an accomplice is complete.
* * *
That night.
Terrible wailing sounds rang out from each sect of the martial arts clan.
“Three, my God. What does this mean?”
Dunmokil of Kunlun fell down holding the back of his neck.
“How can I see my ancestors?”
“Some evil bastard did something like this…”
“You will receive heavenly punishment! Heavenly punishment!”
“Ahhh…….”
The rest of Sega’s representatives also wept and shed bloody tears.
A place where books that record the long achievements and history of each sect are stored.
That sacred place was completely abandoned by someone.
Numerous footprints covered in ink had turned the interior into rubble.
Because the guards were surprised and stunned, it was impossible to guess who the culprit was.
The only clue is that the footprints belong to a small reptile.
so that.
No one noticed that the ‘Returner’s Bracelet’ hidden in the treasure room was missing.
At least for now.
