Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 479
Chapter 479:
I could recognize it at a glance.
Although he was a little older than the last time I saw him, it was clear that the man in front of me was an iron-blooded demon.
“Tsk.”
Seogunak clicked his tongue, widened his distance, and covered his face with his hands.
The Geogogwi laughed and said as if it was absurd.
“It’s already too late.”
“…….”
“What are you doing in a place like this?”
“I didn’t know you would come forward.”
“Do you know me?”
“How could you not know? “The second brother-in-law’s favorite confidant.”
“Then the story will be quick. “I need you to come with me.”
“Can’t you just pretend you didn’t see it?”
“I’m sorry, but I was dispatched on a mission.”
Everything made sense.
How did the Iron Blood Demon Army survive?
I wonder why he doesn’t return to the Demonic Cult and continues to play the role of a Demonic Cult.
‘You lost your dantian.’
I heard it once.
Among the Six Great Geumgongs that lie dormant in the Tianlong Bookstore, there is one that extremely increases the caster’s self-healing power.
In return, he had to give up the martial arts skills he had accumulated over his entire life, but did he say that the effect was certain?
‘It’s not that I didn’t return to the Demonic Cult. ‘I couldn’t return.’
I was wondering why I couldn’t feel any magical energy in my body.
It seemed like he was no longer a demon after losing his dantian.
Just as there was no place for demons in the territory of the righteous sect’s martial arts faction, there was no place for those who had learned the righteous mind law in the inner circle of the demonic cult.
Especially if the target is a disciple of the religious leader.
‘I don’t know how I regained my lost inaction.’
It seemed clear that he had not yet reached his past heights.
If I were to roughly estimate it, wouldn’t it be about the peak of fully ripeness?
‘The possibility of it being a white swordsman disguised as an Iron Blood Demon Army… should be considered virtually non-existent.’
If you are a master of disguise like the Hundred-Faced Death God, you will be able to imitate the appearance to any extent.
But martial arts was not like that.
There was no way the Iron Blood Demon could have passed on his German martial arts skills to others.
‘It’s certain, considering the movements he made while dealing with me a little while ago. No matter where you look, it’s the Iron Blood Demon himself.’
Flower scenery and transcendence.
The reason why there has been no resolution so far even though the gap is clear is because the opponent accurately understands the characteristics of the martial arts that the opponent has learned.
It wouldn’t have been surprising if the Iron Blood Demon Army had secretly investigated the executioner’s henchman who was competing with him for the position of head of the church.
‘I unexpectedly caught a big fish.’
All of the cultists who had previously belonged to the faction led by the Iron Blood Demon Army were currently absorbed under the control of the Sosal Demon Army.
Naturally, their loyalty did not reach that of the existing members.
‘Some people firmly believe that the Iron Blood Demon is still alive.’
The news that the Iron Blood Demon had died spread widely, but no one heard anywhere that his body had been found.
There were quite a few people who had hope in that fact.
‘He is a person who is evaluated as having a reputation of his own.’
The Iron Blood Demon Army did not have the tolerance to encompass many people like the Sosal Demon Army.
However, he was also a person who was famous for taking good care of at least his people.
‘On the contrary, it went well. What if you show the cultists the appearance of the Iron Blood Demon who is no longer a demon?’
It will be possible to further solidify the power base of the Sosalma Army.
There was a reason why I must succeed in my mission.
“You already know. “There is no escape hole.”
“well. “You don’t know that.”
“I don’t think you can do anything to the Demonic Cult’s elite troops just by gathering a few miscellaneous people.”
“…….”
“Don’t lose your strength for no reason and be held calmly. “I will guarantee your life.”
“One of the most unreliable people in the world is the second executioner. “You are the henchman of the second death penalty.”
The Geodogwi’s expression became grim.
Seogunak felt the air around him sinking heavily.
“Please don’t say anything disparaging about him in front of me.”
“You’re talking nonsense. “I don’t remember making up words that didn’t exist for the purpose of putting someone down.”
“I think there is enough respect for someone who was once a disciple of the religious leader. From now on, it won’t end with a warning.”
Instead of answering, Seogunak straightened his posture and straightened his sword.
The goblin laughed as if it were ridiculous and took a step forward.
The sword energy that had been swaying along the surface of the great sword rose and took on a clear shape.
The manifestation of strength.
Seogunak took a deep breath as if he was nervous and suddenly kicked the ground and narrowed the distance between him and his opponent.
Power entered the Geodogwi’s eyes.
It was a completely different movement from before, when I focused on defense and looking for a way to escape.
Quack! bang!
Every time the sword and sword collided, a collision sound similar to an explosion occurred.
Despite his vigorous attack, Seogunak was unable to keep his head and was pushed back again and again.
The long footprints left on the ground gave an idea of how cornered he was.
“Leader!”
It was then.
A man wearing the same clothes as Seogunak came between the two.
Geodogui, who was swinging his left hand as if he was annoyed and was about to hit the man, instantly felt goosebumps rising on his back.
Damn it!
Accuracy and power that contradict the seemingly clumsy movements.
In an instant, the Geodogwi withdrew his hand, which was covered in blood, and quickly tilted his head back.
The sharp rain narrowly grazed my cheek.
The skin cracked and blood flowed out, accompanied by a burning pain.
‘Holy shit!’
A swear word flowed from the Geodogwi’s mouth.
The left hand is discolored black.
This meant that the weapon used by the attacker was coated with poison.
Feeling a sense of crisis, he explosively increased his entire body’s internal strength.
Fortunately, the mental techniques he learned had the ability to increase resistance to poison.
“Who are you?”
No answer came back.
The man, whose face was covered with a hood and mask, just stared at the goblin, wiping the blood off his sword.
Seogunak said grumblingly.
“I thought I was going to die. “Couldn’t you have come forward a little earlier?”
“…….”
“Well, my life or death probably wasn’t something they considered.”
Seogunak lowers his sword with a bitter smile.
The Geodogwi’s expression hardened.
I didn’t understand exactly how the situation was going, but one thing was certain.
The masked person who suddenly invaded was not a subordinate of the Iron Blood Demon Army.
He was too incompetent to be considered a person belonging to a single mountain village.
He was a talented player who could not guarantee victory even on his own.
‘It was too easy.’
Looking at their clothes and movements, I thought they were just like other bandits.
As a result, we were unable to properly respond to the unexpected surprise attack.
I lost the use of my left hand and was even struck by an unknown poison.
It couldn’t have been a painful mistake.
‘Who the hell is this?’
There was no time to organize my thoughts.
The masked man closed the distance in the blink of an eye and swung his sword using the technique of heteromorphic control.
The giant demon glided to the side and raised the masked man’s left arm diagonally, cutting it.
Sigh!
An unpleasant friction sound rang out.
The Geogogwi’s eyes became distorted.
Instead of the touch that should have been felt, a heavy sense of elasticity was conveyed.
‘What is this?’
Three lines revealed beyond the torn nocturnal road.
A thin steel band was wrapped from wrist to elbow.
Surprisingly, there was strong energy forming on the surface of the instructor.
Wow!
Before I could regain my broken posture, my opponent’s kick penetrated my abdomen.
The new form of the giant devil flew away without even being able to scream, collapsing the chook and being buried in the rubble.
“Ugh.”
The Geogogwi stood up with a groan and looked around with a puzzled expression.
Apparently, just a little while ago, his subordinates were unilaterally pushing back against the bandits.
When I came to my senses, the situation was completely reversed.
Everyone was having a hard time due to the addition of men in black who appeared from nowhere.
‘It’s the worst.’
It was clear that we had fallen into a trap.
So, what instructions should you give to your subordinates in this situation?
After making his judgment, the Geogogwi shouted with energy in his voice.
“Retreat! “Everyone, split up and get out of here!”
With his current body, he couldn’t fight the Masked Man and the Iron Blood Demon Army at the same time.
If we hadn’t let our guard down and fought in perfect condition, the outcome would have been different, but that was a meaningless assumption.
‘It’s not a situation where my subordinates can come to help me either. There is no way to turn the tide. In that case, at least one person should escape and tell Lord Xiao about what happened here.’
The Geodogwi who came out of the collapsed wreckage took a moment to check the condition of his body.
Fortunately, there was no problem moving my limbs.
In order to let his subordinates escape, he had to hold out as long as he could and bide his time.
It was when he strengthened his resolve and strengthened the hand holding the sword.
“Good job.”
“……?”
“This is the end of your role. “I’ll just let you go in peace.”
For a moment, I felt puzzled by Seogunak’s remarks whose meaning I could not understand.
A loud moan flowed from the Geodogwi’s mouth.
I realized it instinctively.
All of this was not a device to attract oneself.
It was an arrangement to attract Sosalmagun, his master.
‘All of my subordinates heard the conversation between me and Seogunak.’
I lost my cool in the rapidly changing situation and made the wrong decision.
What will happen when the surviving subordinates, to be exact, the demon cultists selected and sent alive by the enemy, tell the Sosalma army what happened here?
He hurriedly tried to give new instructions to his subordinates, but for some reason, his voice did not spread and just dispersed.
“You’re late.”
Seogunak said, pointing with his index finger at the fetish stuck on the floor.
The Geogogwi, who recognized at a glance that it was a medium for Jinbeop, let out a roar and rushed forward.
It’s like he’s been waiting for this moment.
The masked man threw away his memory and dug into Geogogwi’s square.
‘Even if it means dying!’
A giant sword that draws its long sword in a straight line without paying attention.
The masked man’s sword stabbed mercilessly into his side.
“Didn’t I tell you so many times?”
It was then that something strange happened.
A middle-aged man who jumped into a space cut off from the outside world pushed the masked man away with a hand brimming with gray energy.
Whoops!
Seo Ho-seon, the masked man who managed to avoid the attack, looked at his left arm with a surprised expression.
The instructor made of steel was broken into strands.
“When you are in an urgent situation, your perspective tends to narrow.”
The Iron Blood Demon and the Geogogwi widened their eyes at the same time as they recognized the identity of the newly intruding middle-aged man.
Something happened that no one expected.
A truly unexpected person appeared at an unexpected time.
“Why is Lord Xiao here!”
