Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 397

Episode 397

: Damn!

The huge cylindrical energy that flew in from the side was split in half and scattered.

The demons caught in the range of the sword died without even being able to scream.

The center of the land was devastated as if a disaster had occurred.

“Whoa.”

I stopped in place, took a deep breath and calmed down my excitement.

I decided that it couldn’t go on like this.

‘Your eyes were blurry from nervousness.’

Time was not on my side.

Because the effects of the bombing magic attack do not last forever.

However, no matter how much time passed, the cult leader could not be defeated by just attacking him blindly.

I had to admit what I had to admit.

The opponent was a high level expert.

It was different from the bloody battle with the Blood Flower Witch.

Even though he improved his skills by using gold balls, he was not ahead of the religious leader in any way.

‘Depth of inner strength experience, tips and enlightenment. In every way, Lord Ma is ahead of me.’

So there was no reason for the religious leader to overdo it.

All I have to do is take my time and wait for myself to self-destruct.

Since I wasn’t overdoing it, I could only use as much force as needed.

Since there was no waste, of course there were no gaps.

‘It won’t be possible to break the balance using normal methods.’

In the end, there was only one way.

I have already acquired my own weapon to fight against the cult leader.

The problem is how to use it.

As the opponent was an opponent, things would not be as easy as when dealing with the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.

“How long are you going to stand still like that?”

“…….”

“Could it be that the limit has already been reached?”

“Do not worry. “Because it’s still vibrant.”

“Then you are lucky. “I would be disappointed if it ended here.”

I kicked the ground and let go of the sword in my hand.

The sword flew with a thunderous sound and passed by the leader’s shoulder.

“Hmm.”

The leader, who avoided the attack by tilting his upper body, narrowed his eyes.

Geogwol made a large circle in the air and flew in, aiming for his back.

Teuong!

The leader smiled lightly and swung his hand, and the sword blocked by the invisible membrane was unable to overcome the repulsion and bounced.

I took advantage of that opportunity to sneak into the gap between the religious leaders, untie the sheath of the sword tied to my belt, and hold it in my hand.

The twenty-second herbivorous first month (霜月).

The moon on a frosty night.

Every time I swung the sheath, particles of energy flew like frost.

As if I had stepped into a field where hundreds and thousands of fireflies were flying around.

The entire surroundings were filled with white light.

Even though he was trapped in a space where an ordinary person would have suffered internal injuries just by being there, Ma Jyoju responded to the sword attack without changing his complexion at all.

grasp!

The sword that rose up through the ground was blocked by the tip of the cult leader’s index finger and was fixed in the air.

The demonic leader, who had casually blocked the unexpected attack, spoke in a reproachful tone.

“If you can only use it in such a monotonous way, it would be better not to use swordsmanship.”

Instead of responding, I snapped my fingers one after another.

The spheres of thunder energy gathered in the air exploded sequentially and struck the cult leader’s body.

A cloud of dust rose up with a loud noise.

“You’re blatantly trying to induce my movements.”

Sigh!

The next moment, a hand came out through the cloud of dust and dug into my abdomen.

The magical energy that flowed through the sword caused extreme pain.

“I don’t know what your plan is, but I’ll join you.”

I raised my internal energy to protect my internal organs, and at the same time, I held on tightly to the cult leader’s wrist.

He then said with a wild laugh.

“I believed it. “Any religious leader I know would definitely come out like this.”

There were also particles of energy scattered throughout the area.

He continued to form a sphere of brain energy without worrying about the consumption of his internal energy, causing binge drinking.

He also caught the attention of the religious leader with his clumsy sword skills.

All of that was a stepping stone for this moment.

The fragments of intention scattered everywhere were gathered together and formed into the shape of a sword.

A sword whose appearance perfectly matches that of the Geogwol (巨闕) made by joining together hundreds or thousands of fragments.

“…!”

The nursery rhyme of the Demon Clan was conveyed through the clenched wrists.

Even he couldn’t have expected this.

Originally, some time was needed to implement the sword.

About five breaths.

As a result, there were too many limitations to use it in actual combat.

So, fragments of the body were scattered in all directions in advance.

We are taking various measures to prevent the religious leaders from feeling uncomfortable.

‘It will be unavoidable.’

By omitting the process of forming fragments of the artificial form, the casting time was drastically shortened.

There was no way it was possible to evade from this distance.

Although he was a monster with no rival in the world, in the end, the religious leader was also a human being made of cloth.

The scars caused by the fight so far were proof of that.

The first herbivorous current month.

He raised the sword he was holding with his right hand and slashed.

There was no need for a grand herbivorous diet.

One light swing was enough.

Wow!

The entire space was divided.

Everything caught in the sword’s path was unable to maintain its shape and was torn apart.

The body of the Demon Cultist, protected by the curtain of righteous punishment, was no exception.

“excellent.”

A heartfelt exclamation pierced my ears.

Ma Jiao-ju’s facial features, which had been blurry, became clear for an instant.

A young man with sharp eyes spoke to me with an eerie smile on his lips.

“Should I really call him a suitable person? “It hasn’t been long since he reached absolute heights, but he would have already pioneered his own path.”

Like the Blood Flower Witch, she didn’t just have a young outer skin.

A long time ago, it achieved anti-aging and stopped aging.

This was the reason why the religious leader always covered his face.

Because no one should look down on the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church just by looking at his appearance.

Because the leader should always be revered and praised by everyone.

“I praise you. You have proven your worth.”

The shattered sword fluttered like flower petals.

Ma Jyoju’s features became blurred again.

The final blow certainly struck the cult leader effectively.

However, the depth was shallow.

I thought I caught it for sure.

The priest’s wrist, which he was grasping with his left hand, was suddenly as far away as me.

“…….”

Ma Gyoju swept his chest area with his left hand.

The blood that flowed from the sword wound diagonally across his upper body wetted his hands.

“The cause of defeat was the failure to achieve unity.”

“…….”

“The direction of your enlightenment is not compatible with the magic technique of bombing.”

Quaaaang!

A tremendous shock struck my body.

I couldn’t even recognize what had hit me.

It was only after I laid down on the ground that I realized that I had lost consciousness for a moment.

‘damn.’

What Ma Cyoju said was right.

The direction of enlightenment gained in the process of escaping the Seven Prisons was clear.

Cohesion and detailed manipulation.

It wasn’t just a feeling I had gained recently.

There are also tips for handling white lightning.

No, it was Wolyeonggeom, which was classified as a fantasy sword before that.

The path I have walked so far has always been the same.

It may be funny to question the compatibility with Geumgong, but Pakjammagong was fundamentally a martial art that did not suit me.

He could never defeat the sect leader by relying on the bombing magic attack.

“I’ll give you one last chance to live.”

“……?”

“You probably remember the suggestion I made before, right?”

Of course I remembered it.

It was such an unprecedented condition that I couldn’t forget it.

[Become a demonic cultist through a process of indoctrination. If you accept, I will give you everything. I will forget all my past grudges.]

[You will be able to obtain everything you want. Power, authority, women, wealth, and even the martial arts world.]

These were the words that Lord Ma said to me when he appeared at the border between Jiangsu and Anhui.

“Return to the Demonic Cult. “I will make everything you wish come true.”

“I’m sorry, but what I really want doesn’t exist in the Demonic Cult.”

“I would have said it was the last chance.”

“No matter how many times you ask, I will never give you a different answer.”

I touched the ground with trembling hands.

Even if inevitable defeat was confirmed, he could not fall yet.

Even if he died, he had to buy time for the interceptor’s soldiers to retreat safely.

Even if my body was broken, I had to save my people and send them back.

“…….”

Master Ma looked down at me with cold eyes.

The magical energy flowing out of his body expanded and his long sleeve swelled greatly.

Coooooo!

The atmosphere shook as if a typhoon was brewing.

I staggered to my feet and raised my Danjeon’s strength to prepare for the final clash.

“Until there.”

It was then.

A familiar man’s voice pierced my ears.

Ku-kwa-kwang!

Lightning struck the dry sky.

A man with a white brain flag wrapped all over his body stood in front of me as if protecting me.

The moment I saw the back of the man who appeared out of nowhere, I forgot the situation and made a blank expression.

“……Master?”

“It was a lot of hardship. “Leave the rest to me and take care of yourself.”

“Master, why are you here?”

“I came after hearing about the sect leader’s destination from Sogeolgae.”

Short answer.

My legs lost strength and I fell down.

I was overcome with emotion at the unexpected appearance of reinforcements.

“You remember the lessons I gave you earlier, right?”

“of course.”

I put the cerebral energy on my index finger and pierced the main blood vessels.

The strength in my body was relieved, and the energy that had been running wild calmed down temporarily.

A method used by my teacher who saved me from almost dying at the hands of Cheonakgun in the past.

This would be able to reduce the side effects of the Pokjam Magic Ball to some extent.

“How are you feeling?”

“…For now, I don’t think I will die.”

“Right.”

Master nodded lightly and took a long stride.

He stood face to face with the Demon Lord at a distance of two feet and opened his mouth with a light gesture.

“I’ll see you later. “Cult leader.”

“Are you the Thunder King?”

“exactly.”

“It is indeed inaction worthy of its reputation. “I can tell the level just by looking at it.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“I’m sorry if it seems like I’m pouring cold water on it, but even if one of the Ten Heavenly Emperors is added now, the situation will not be reversed.”

“well. “I think it would be best to hold off on that judgment for a while.”

Master Ma is the greatest expert in the world.

No matter how much he was my teacher, I couldn’t face him one on one.

In a normal way.

A conversation I had with my teacher in the past passed through my mind.

[Do you want me to teach you how to calm your boiling energy?]

[Yes.]

[I want to ask you why you want to learn something like that. I don’t think it’s possible, but you’re not considering the possibility of using a bomb attack again, right?]

[…….]

[Seeing as you can’t answer, it seems like you’re right. Do you think that’s a favor to ask your teacher now?]

I couldn’t say anything in response to my teacher’s reprimanding words.

What teacher in the world would not dissuade his student from using the gold ball that caused the caster’s death again?

The explanation that adding thunder spirit points to the body strengthened by the white lightning magic could minimize side effects and increase the survival rate was nothing more than an excuse.

Therefore, I thought that Master would naturally reject my request.

What he said next was something I never expected.

[good night. I’ll teach you.]

[Are you sure?]

[I don’t think that you won’t be able to use the bomb attack just because I don’t teach you. At the very least, to increase the chances of survival, it would be better to at least learn how to deal with it afterward.]

[Thank you. Master.]

[Instead, there is one condition.]

[……?]

[Teach me the art of the magic attack.]

[What do you mean by that!]

[Why are you so surprised? Just as you asked an unreasonable favor of me, I can also ask an unreasonable favor of you. Isn’t that right?]

Kugugugugugu!

The amplified energy poured out one after another, encroaching on the entire area.

The branches of the brain energy that spread out around the teacher suddenly became huge.

A powerful energy wave was generated that made the Demon Cult Master speechless.

“The disciple risked his life on the battlefield, but the teacher cannot show shame in front of him.”

“…….”

“You better be prepared. The price for making my disciple like that will be high.”
