Episode 1234.
Paat!
The swollen snow that had risen into the sky soon landed where the water spouts were gathered.
Jiying.
The assassins formed a huge wall of water in a tight formation, as if preparing for an attack.
Papapapak!
The moment when Bu Eun-seol swings her sword.
The formation scattered, and the blood and flesh of the assassins began to splatter.
As soon as he deployed the Gonggeukgyeong, the formation collapsed in an instant, and he began to cut them down in an instant.
As if preparing for the power of the realm of extinction, the Empress Dowager gathered together assassins who were all equally skilled in martial arts and secret techniques.
“Eww!”
“Ugh!”
He fell helplessly without being able to block even one of Bu Eun-seol's swords.
No, I couldn't even move my body properly.
Let's face him, swinging his sword with a gleaming yellow eye.
My body became stiff as if my limbs were being held tightly by an invisible hand.
Paa!
Some had their limbs torn off, some had their heads torn off, and some had their entire intestines emptied out.
The killers were dying, being swept away helplessly like fallen leaves rolling across the ground.
Crunch! Crunch!
Flesh was torn and blood spurted everywhere.
As time went by, Bu-eun-seol's hand movements became more and more cruel.
It's not just about cutting the collar.
It is like a butcher preparing meat, separating the bones and flesh, tearing the limbs apart and pouring out the internal organs.
"grandfather……."
Every time I kill a killer.
The image of my grandfather, who saved people while covered in blood, only to be pointed at, seemed to come to mind.
“Why to save the foolish?”
Then a fire rose in my heart.
“Are you saying that you lived your whole life with that dirty stigma?”
It felt like all the blood in my body had evaporated, and something black was rising in its place.
Choaaaak!
Every time the blood spurts out, my bones feel cool and I feel a surge of joy.
Before he knew it, he was no longer killing the swarms for the sake of the civilians, but was simply thirsting for blood.
Pitter-patter.
The assassins were eventually all annihilated in less than an hour.
Knock knock.
Blood dripped from the red-stained clothes.
If anyone who knew him saw him like this, they would be completely incomprehensible.
No matter how angry you are.
He, who was so cool and intelligent, used such cruel methods.
“Ugh.”
I almost burst out laughing.
be pleasant.
I've been holding it in for a long time.
It was probably from the time of the Sipmajeon competition.
From the moment we were ordered to kill each other for no reason and survive.
From the moment I saw boys I didn't know stabbing and cutting their opponents' bodies with sharp weapons.
The desire to burst out with life force, the explosive magic, the desire to be drenched in blood…
I've been suppressing it all along.
But let's taste blood without any regrets.
It feels like you're on a cloud, and the feeling of pleasure is like blocked blood vessels have been cleared.
In fact, the stagnant energy caused by the Damro Sword was released, and all the wounds on his body were somewhat healed.
Kuk.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the magic and murderous energy that was bursting out.
'The Empress Dowager's schemes can be swept away.'
If you think about it, it doesn't matter what scheme the Empress Dowager uses or how meticulous her calculations are.
Because you can just sweep it all away.
Damn it.
The ground beneath his feet caved in, and huge cracks spread out in radial directions.
Kwaung!
The plump snow, which had spread its wings, once again drew out its power and rose higher like a black comet.
The vast sky spread out before the eyes of the swollen snow that had risen above the clouds.
As the cold wind whipped the hem of my clothes, the murderous intent that had been bursting out gradually subsided and my mind returned to clarity.
But the magic and madness seething within his body still remained unresolved.
He turned around in an instant and headed towards the demon's camp.
As I shot out, my divine powers stretched to their limits, the outline of the Demon Temple in the distance emerged from the darkness.
He slowly descended to the ground and quickly passed the outskirts of the castle.
It was so fast that even the sentries standing guard couldn't notice it.
Support.
In the Demonic Crusade, numerous formations were deployed to prevent anyone from entering by using the Land Flight Technique.
I couldn't block the path of swelling.
Whirlyrick.
As the crater approached, he came down to the roof for a moment.
The moment I take that slight step,
“……!”
As if in response to that slight sound, the Sayoungjeon warriors all raised their heads.
But by then, Bu Eun-seol had already entered the building.
'You're training well.'
Even in the realm of magic, it is rare to find a master who can detect one's subtle movements.
But the unmanned aerial vehicles.
It means keeping your extrasensory senses open and alert at all times and places.
As I passed through the familiar hallway and reached the office, I heard hurried footsteps coming from inside.
The door flew open and Yu Yun-ryong ran out, out of breath.
“Are you okay? It’s a bit later than expected.”
His face was filled with relief and worry.
“Because the Empress Dowager interfered so much, I couldn’t figure out your route.”
The Empress Dowager predicted Bu Eun-seol's movements in advance and deployed excellent intelligence agents.
This was done so that the Sahondai could not find out his whereabouts.
“There were various things.”
Although his whole body was drenched in blood.
Bu Eun-seol did not bother to explain in detail the situations she had experienced.
Yu Yunryong wanted to ask about the details of the situation, but when he saw the serious expression on his face, he quickly changed the subject.
“As planned, the Empress Dowager took the bait.”
Yu Yun-ryong continued speaking quickly with a confident expression.
“After all the members under Won Se-mun and Jo Nam-cheon were trained harshly in Sukju, a rumor suddenly spread that the Jangbo sword left behind by the Heavenly Demon Sword had been discovered in the Yangguan branch.”
Not only Princess Hwijeong, but also from the time he touched Yeon Soha.
Yu Yun-ryong.
He had guessed that the Empress Dowager would one by one touch not only the women who had ties to Bu Eun-seol, but also his subordinates and close friends.
So when I entered the shrine.
After consulting with Bu Eun-seol, Won Se-mun and Jo Nam-cheon were intentionally sent to the vicinity of the Yanggwan branch for training.
What about that persistent empress dowager?
Because I will never miss an opportunity to attack the great lords who can be called the right-hand men of the spiritless lord.
“Jang Bo-do of the Heavenly Demon Sword.”
Bu-eun-seol's eyebrows twitched.
The Jangbo-do that was the cause of the fight was the fire.
Emergency supplies and elixirs.
Because it is something that martial artists risk their lives to obtain.
However, the current martial arts world can be said to be an information war, as each force operates an excellent intelligence organization.
There are very few situations where a sudden surge in demand would occur.
But suddenly, Jang Bo-do of the Cheonjeolmado, whose whereabouts were unknown for hundreds of years, was only rumored.
Appearing near a barren branch near the distant Okmun Gate?
“It must be the Empress Dowager’s doing.”
"Yes. However, contrary to expectations, thousands of martial artists have suddenly swarmed in, making defense difficult."
Yu Yun-ryong shook his head.
"I really didn't know you could move the martial arts world so quickly. At this level, it's no exaggeration to say you're not just the Empress Dowager, but the greatest martial arts master."
And he said with a confident expression.
"First, dispatch Wei Cheon-gyeong and Chuhon-dae to assist them. In the meantime, we need to use Sahon-dae to secure evidence that the Empress Dowager was influencing the martial artists."
“No, that won’t work.”
At that moment, Bu Eun-seol shook her head.
“We misjudged the Empress Dowager’s abilities.”
He returns to the magic zone.
I was able to clearly understand what kind of person the Empress Dowager was and how she handled things.
Even if it means annihilating everyone.
The Empress Dowager will never leave any evidence behind.
“What do you mean? That.”
“No matter how much we investigate, we will never find evidence that the Empress Dowager incited the martial arts people.”
Only then did Yu Yun-ryong realize that Bu Eun-seol's gaze had become much more fierce than before.
“What on earth happened?”
“Explanation comes later.”
Bu Eun-seol turned around and said.
“What is certain is that Won Se-mun and Jo Nam-cheon will not be able to survive the Queen Mother’s scheme.”
Wood crack.
As I recalled the Empress Dowager's face, the murderous rage I had barely suppressed surged back like a tidal wave.
Jeokjeok,
The surrounding air froze in an instant, and Yu Yunryong, who was nearby, felt a suffocating pressure.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Just kill them all.”
"what?"
A cold, twisted smile appeared on Bu Eun-seol's lips.
“If you do that, you won’t touch the people around me again.”
The Empress Dowager, like a swearer of the sanctuary,
He persistently harasses those around him who go against his will, ultimately trying to bring them to submission.
The most certain response to this method is to slaughter anyone who dares to touch it, without exception.
If the damage keeps coming back, they will eventually have no choice but to give up.
"for a moment."
Yu Yun-ryong hurriedly blocked Bu Eun-seol's path.
“That’s not wrong, but if you kill them all like that, the reputation you’ve built up until now will be…….”
“I guess I’ll become the true successor to the Demon King.”
Bu Eun-seol cut off Yu Yun-ryong's words and spoke firmly.
"All this time, I've acted like a loyal knight of the Jeongpa, not as the successor to the Demonic Clan. And those actions must have seemed like obvious weaknesses to someone like the Empress Dowager."
“…….”
"I am the successor to the Demonic Clan. With my eyes fixed on Jang Bo-do, I will annihilate those who rush to the Demonic Clan's branch and attack. What's there to worry about?"
Yu Yun-ryong had nothing to say.
Because it was true.
Although Bu Eun-seol's martial arts skills were increasing without limit, his fatal weakness was gradually being revealed as he continued to engage in martial arts activities.
Chivalry and affection.
Despite being a magician, he helped the weak and defeated evil forces like the Cheonha Myunghyeop.
He also protected those around him terribly, even if it meant getting hurt himself.
Although this kind of behavior earned Jeong Sa-yang respect and awe from the martial arts world, it was contradictory behavior for the successor to the Demon King.
In the end, many limitations were imposed due to one's own beliefs.
Because of this, it is no different from exposing a weak point that can be easily exploited by those like lynxes… …
Something like this is bound to happen.
“Or are you saying you don’t want me to become a magician?”
Under Bu Eun-seol's sharp gaze, Yu Yun-ryong said something unexpected.
“No, it’s quite the opposite.”
He spoke honestly for the first time.
“I’ve always wanted it to be that way.”
"what?"
"Actually, when you briefly turned cruel, I was secretly glad. If you were that ruthless, your enemies wouldn't use any emotional traps against you."
Yoo Yun-ryong, looking at the swollen eyes, had a smile on his lips.
“Actually, since then, the Blood Cult has given up on touching or provoking you again.”
At that time, the blood sect was the same as the empress dowager.
In order to take revenge on Bu Eun-seol, he attacked the Shinnyeo Palace and attempted to kidnap the princess.
But that was the time when Baekri Geomha's personality was first revealed.
Because of this, the Blood Cult's three thousand elite troops were reduced to blood in an instant.
From that day on, the Blood Cult never provoked Bu Eun-seol or did anything to provoke him.
Because he clearly saw what would happen if he touched the people around him.
“I don’t care if I get pointed at as a hemp head or cursed as a mass murderer.”
Yu Yun-ryong took a deep breath and said.
“Aren’t we just people running towards a goal we want to achieve?”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course.”
Yu Yun-ryong smiled.
“Do whatever you want.”
A true friend is like a clean mirror that reflects yourself.
Because no matter what form it takes, no matter how shabby and broken it looks, it never turns away and looks at you.
And if you can hold onto that mirror for the rest of your life without breaking it.
That life will be the most successful and valuable life of all.
"good night."
Bu Eun-seol also wore a smile like Yu Yun-ryong.
And it freed the killing spirit that had been suppressed for so long.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Then the air inside seemed to condense coldly, and something unknown seemed to be strangling my throat.
“Let’s change it while we’re at it.”
As Bu Eun-seol smiled, revealing her sharp fangs, Yu Yun-ryong, who had been smiling, opened his eyes wide.
“What?”
“I’m talking about the bloody battle between the old man Jeokbung and the apostle Jeonju.”
At that moment, two numbers appeared in Yu Yun-ryong's head.
Three thousand and eight thousand.
Blood Demon Jeokbung once crushed and killed three thousand Jeongpa people in one fell swoop for criticizing and cursing him.
In the past, Ma Cheon-je single-handedly wiped out a martial arts alliance unit that included eight thousand elite troops.
“Make sure you don’t touch me again.”
Yu Yunryong's face turned pale at the low muttering that sounded like dripping blood.
Just being around him was enough to make me suffocate.
The magic and life force flowing out of Bu Eun-seol's body… was dozens, hundreds of times more powerful than he had expected.
“Sleep, wait a minute.”
Yu Yun-ryong stretched out his hand.
What if this madness and power were unleashed upon countless martial artists?
It is a situation where he will instantly earn the title of the worst mastermind in the history of martial arts.
“Boo Eun-seol, after thinking about it again….”
Kwarung!
Before Yu Yunryong could even open his mouth, Bu Eunseol had already burst through the window and soared into the sky.
“Listen to me for a moment!”
Yu Yun-ryong shouted loudly.
“Don’t kill everyone, just kill a few! Just a few! Just enough to show your majesty….”
BANG!
But with the drinking, the swelling disappeared into light.
“Why are you trying to break the record between Jeokbung Old Man and Jeonju?”
I shouted loudly, but there was no answer.
“What the hell!”
Yu Yun-ryong clutched his head.
Only now did I realize what the final trap the Empress Dowager had thrown was.
“If you become a great slaughterer, you will no longer be able to be with the emperor.”
If things had gone as planned, Yu Yun-ryong would have been very happy to cut ties with the emperor.
However, due to Yongbonghwan, some of the grand plan that had been in progress up until now changed.
You had to maintain a relationship with the emperor for a certain period of time.
“When she summoned him to the palace, the Empress Dowager understood his character.”
She is clear.
He must have realized that not only was there magic and a living being hidden within Bu Eun-seol's body, but that it was of a level that could turn the world upside down.
And this time to blow it completely.
It is clear that they mobilized numerous martial artists to attack the Yanggwan branch.
“Tak Ho-beop! So Budeoju!”
Yu Yun-ryong shouted urgently.
The one who came running after hearing that sound was his adjutant, Woo Gwang.
“They are still on leave and have not returned.”
“No, we have to stop him!”
Realizing his mistake, Yu Yun-ryong threw the letter and outer garment he was holding to Woo Gwang.
“Wait a minute, Bueunseol!”
He used all his might to spread his divine power and flew into the distant sky.
“…….”
Woo-Gwang just stared at the sight with his mouth open, with Yu-Un-Ryong's outer garment over his head and the letter held in both arms.
