The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman] - Chapter 602
Episode 72
There was a chilly tension in the area where the two sides confronted each other.
Gyusara…
“Did he live?”
“You never died?”
“…”
Kyu-sa had an infinitely light expression.
“Could I have sacrificed my life for the Gyoma? I am the head of Park Pi-ok. The moment I lost my belonging and felt the defeat of the Gyoma, I fled.”
“Right.”
Chung-sang readily agreed.
Park Pi-ok is a world of traitors. Even if he betrays the demon for his own life, who can point a finger at him?
“I didn’t know you would come.”
“Am I the only one who came? All the chicken ears have already come out to the human world.”
“Well…”
At Kyu-sa’s words, Cheong-sang nodded his head with a stiff expression.
“But why are you here?”
“I heard rumors.”
“…”
“I heard that General Byeok, one of the seven beasts of the north, came down to Mt. Mudang as a spirit. The name is Cheongsang, but can I come and see it? I came to say a few words, thinking of my old relationship.”
Gyu-sa smiled and trembled, and Hwang-sin gnashed his teeth and intervened.
“You’re talking about eating shit. Aren’t the little ears that came in a row sweet like candy scarecrows?”
“Hehe, look at me, Hwangshin. What makes you so sharp when you could have been on one side?”
“…one word?”
The Hwangshin snorted and glared at him.
“Isn’t it? I almost swore allegiance when Jinmu-seonin defeated Gyo-ma. I was really impressed with him at the time.”
“joy! Stop talking bullshit…”
As Hwangshin took a posture as if he was about to run away, Cheongsang raised his hand to block it.
“god!”
“why! what!? Let’s do it! Are you going to have a real conversation like that bastard said?”
“…Wait for me.”
“this…! Ugh!”
Hwangshin, who was irritated by the serious eyes of the lowly dissuading Cheongsang, sighed and withdrew.
Whatever it is, it is Cheongsang who is leading them now. He’s a naive guy, but he thinks deeper than himself, so he’ll make the right decision.
“Don’t be swayed. He has a snake tongue.”
“I get it.”
Kyu-sa burst into laughter at the figure of the emperor, who did not forget the request even while stepping back, and the blue statue, who nodded with a serious expression.
“This looks like it’s got some really ugly hair on it.”
“Because you made the world this way. Be reckless and say what is in your heart.”
“I’m not in such a hurry. If it was Jinmu-nim, I think I would have recommended alcohol first. It’s a pity that he went that way.”
Cheongsang’s eyes became bitter at the words of Kyu-sa, who shook her head in a moment of regret.
“He is a person whose life or death has not yet been confirmed. If you’re talking nonsense… a sword might be faster.”
Swoop.
When Cheongsang lifted up the self-propelled insect and aimed it at it, Kyu-sa waved her hand.
“Oh, is that sword still in your hand? Your mother’s authority must have disappeared long ago.”
“I didn’t have it because of my mother’s authority. It’s what Sasook entrusted to me, so I’m keeping it.”
“If you are loyal… As expected, I, who has lived in Park Pi-ok, can’t understand your thoughts at all.”
“….”
“Good. Tell me your business.”
With her hands behind her back and her chin slightly lifted, Kyu-sa’s gaze scanned the index finger of the sea.
“Give me this place.”
“what?”
“I will guarantee you a retreat. We have already stopped all attacks on Wudang Mountain. If you do, I will do my best not to be attacked, at least within my territory.”
“…”
“I will release all those you want to protect and those you saved.”
“What do you mean?”
“Actually, I’m trying to make this place my home.”
“place?”
“okay.”
Gyusa nodded and lightly shook her hand, and magic power rushed into her hand like a whirlwind and transformed into a single shape.
Even a small piece with a black blade…
“Three trickles?”
“You manage to recognize it.”
“no way?”
“What could it be? Isn’t it the position that Gyo-ma died and Jinmu-nim kicked? It is only natural that I, who was the head of the army, Park Pi-ok, will take over.”
“…”
Blue Sang’s pupils shook violently.
The three streams in his hand mean that he has inherited the power of his mother.
In other words, it meant that the person in front of him was no longer Park Pi-ok’s gunsmith, but one of the demon kings who ruled over the six worlds.
“What about the demon king?”
“I asked your mother and came out before the others.”
“what?”
“Aren’t they other people who have already accumulated magic for a long time? Newcomers should come first and take the lead so that they won’t be tricked later.”
“…”
Hope was gone.
Things that could have happened at any time or that had only been vague came before my eyes in an instant.
My hands were shaking all of a sudden.
I don’t know if it was the former Kyu-sa, but if he was endowed with the power of the Demon King…
haven’t you seen it already?
It is the power of the demon king that even Sasook struggled against. He trained for a thousand years and reached the rank of General Byeok, but it was clear that he would fall far short of it.
It was only after Sasuk, who was already a general of two, released all the power of yin and yang, that he was able to seize the victory against Gyoma. If we hadn’t achieved the unity of gods and horses, we would not have been able to defeat the demons who harmed our vassals…
What should we do?
have to fight Or should I abandon the ground and retreat as he said?
“Are you struggling like that?”
“….”
“I don’t like long decisions, so let me say one more thing that will help me.”
Kyu-sa said while spinning the stream she had floated above her hand.
“Your mother has already given permission to the demon lords to release their vassals.”
“what?”
“So don’t even think about rejecting it. Don’t even try to resist.”
It seemed that his strength was draining away from his soft yet chilly smile.
Even the slightest possibility was gone.
Should I say that the answer to be given was forcibly decided?
“But it doesn’t matter if you decide to fight. I am quite interested in your skin.”
“…”
It felt like death was approaching in front of me. Cheongsang closed his eyes tightly involuntarily.
What would you do if you were a private housekeeper?
What kind of decision would you have made if you were sasuk over the people you need to protect and the places you have to protect?
“What the fuck! What are you worrying about!”
“…?!”
While hesitating, suddenly, the emperor shouted and jumped out.
“Where do this dog loose? So you tell us to back off? You want me to give you this place!?”
“….”
“Do you believe that saying that we will send you safely?”
“god! Stop.”
“Don’t bullshit. Even the heavenly world was closed and locked. There is no place where we can be safe after leaving this place!”
Hwangshin grips the dagger with all his might and glares at Gyusa. Even Chung-woo, who was lying on the floor from hunger after pulling out all the Seongi, stood up and clenched his fists.
Cheongsang sighed and let go of his worries at the sight of the two raising their speculation with the momentum to jump right in.
The Hwangshin is right.
Where are you going?
I left the shaman and returned to the shaman. And we will be together for the last time here.
…on the spot where I first met Sasuk.
Swoop.
When Cheongsang lifted up the spear and aimed it at it, Gyusa shook his head.
“It was a decision I didn’t want to make. To the point where everyone dies.”
He clenched his tongue as if he was really sorry, and gently raised his hand.
“Still, there is such a thing as a class, but wouldn’t it be possible for the Demon King to fight only one of the seven generals in the northern kingdom of Heaven? Now it’s also a divine spirit…”
“….”
With Kyu-sa’s greeting foretelling the end, the ears behind it radiated blue eyes.
“Then go well. Blue Emperor.”
Hands down.
Along with him, Magi rushed like a storm toward the last guardians who guarded the blue sky and Hwangsin Haejimji.
-Keuuuuuong!
“…!”
The moment the blue statue tried to stop it by clenching its teeth, a yellow ray of light rained down from the sky like lightning.
Kwajijik! Quadruped!
The beams of light that poured into the center of both sides began to trample the ears, emitting formidable good energy.
The bodies of the ears were torn apart by the swinging feet, and the throats were ripped out by the sharp teeth.
– Khuhuong!
Standing tall on the ground with both feet, a lump of yellow light roared wildly toward the sky.
…is the criminal.
Dae-ho, who had a spiritual energy never seen before, blocked the blue statue as if guarding it, and threatened his ears with his eyes shining.
-Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrled
at the sound of a low cry.
When the expected disaster did not happen, Gyu-sa’s face distorted.
“Only one young hoe…”
The earth sizzled with the magic power emitted by the angry Gyu-Sa.
I couldn’t get past one.
Magi’s haze that heated the earth began to push back, unable to cross the earth on which the tiger stood.
Cheongsang, Hwangsin, and Cheongwu all looked at the dignified tiger without concealing their embarrassment.
weird. The appearance must be Sangun who travels with the spirits… How could he have such power?
More than anything, I feel a strange power in that roar.
It makes the tired muscles of the limbs twitch again, caresses the heart, and awakens the will to fight… What on earth is that tiger?
But in an instant, I realized.
not a criminal
The power to care for them was not from the tiger, but from the other side.
Yes, it wasn’t the tiger who blocked Kyu-sa’s magical power…
Cheong-sang swallowed and turned his head.
Whiik.
A breeze blew.
Something fluttered past along with the refreshing wind.
Somehow familiar…
Twaaaak!
“Kang!”
A breeze approaches the tiger, and the tiger cries as if it is in pain. By the way… Kang? The tiger who threatened the ears with a powerful croaking until a while ago?
“Because you keep growling, the kids are scared!”
-Kreur.
“…This is it!”
-Woof woof!
The man in the white coat stopped banging the tiger’s head only after hearing the dog barking.
It was a voice I knew all too well.
A person who can’t be forgotten and shouldn’t be forgotten.
“Have you been well, Cheongsang-ah?”
“…”
“Hwangsindo… It’s been a long time since Cheongwoo, right? Didn’t you lose some weight though? The man who died of obesity has not come to his senses yet. You have to train or not.”
A familiar face shaking his head and smiling mischievously.
Cheongsang, who had blankly blinked his eyes, struggled to open his mouth.
“Four…”
The unfinished words linger in my mouth. A surge of emotion seemed to fill his throat.
“Sasuwook!”
Instead, the cries of Cheongwoo resounded…
“God!”
The eyes of the Hwangshin, who had sat down with an expression as if his pulse had been released, were wet.
“Children cry. Was it very difficult?”
“Uh huh.”
Tears flowed from the blue eyes as he saw that bright smile.
Jinmu…
Everyone couldn’t hide their tears at the fact that he, who believed and believed that he was alive somewhere, appeared intact.
“A thousand years or a hundred years? It’s been quite a while, but let’s say hello later. For now, this is more urgent.”
Jinmu smiled and turned his head to greet Kyu-sa.
“It’s been a while, too, Kyu-sa.”
“Jimmu… sir?”
“Looking at your energy, it looks like you’ve become Park Pi-okju, right?”
“That’s right.”
Kyu-sa stuttered as if she was quite embarrassed.
No wonder.
It was he who remembered Gyo-ma, who was not able to compete with him even though he was a vassal. It’s too strong for a newbie demon king
to do anything about
…
Stare at quartz sand and countless ears.
Then, with a wooden stick slung over his shoulder, he smiled broadly with his legs on his back.
“Are you still holding the knife?”
For the first time in a while, his fangs shone brightly, dispelling the thick darkness.
It was a candle that seemed to be extinguished soon in the strong wind of darkness.
But now it starts to burn again because of the oil called Jinmura.
