Chapter 199

Episode 199

“I think this is enough to explain why I voluntarily set out to chase down the evil beasts.”

“.......”

Hwang Bo-kyung, who was listening to the story with a frown, reluctantly nodded.

Even if I wanted to protest, I couldn’t.

What justification can there be for opposing the subjugation of the demonic cultists?

“For now, let’s divide the number of people.”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“The enemy is a small minority. There are many wounded due to the battle with the warriors of the Harel tribe. “It is said that the inaction of the man who is presumed to be the leader is not normal, but this side will not be inferior in terms of power.”

“I agree with the Sacheon branch manager’s opinion. “I think it would be better to spread the personnel out and expand the scope of the search rather than crowding around.”

Namgung Seonghun, the sword dragon, suddenly intervened and said.

Then, the other party members expressed their approval one by one.

I divided the group into four groups.

I, Poison King Gamwon, and Geomhu decided to take on the role of leader of each group.

Each group included one member of the Tang family who was good at tracking.

Additionally, all those who were likely to cause trouble were placed under Dang Sang-jin’s command.

Even Hwang Bo-kyung, with her strong personality, would not have been able to show her courage against Dang Sang-jin.

“Please move with Senior Geomhoo.”

“I understand.”

Mu Jin-cheon and the warriors under his command were also assigned one or two people to each group.

After completing the distribution of personnel, I called the leaders of each group together and handed out fireworks.

“Take this.”

“This?”

“These are signal fireworks. As soon as you spot a demonic cultist, you can use this to report their location.”

“i get it.”

A full-scale search began.

The two warriors and Tang Seo-yeon took the lead and followed the traces of the demonic cultists.

“There are traces of people moving around.”

“Let’s follow along for now. If we check, we will be able to find out whether it is a trace left by the target of pursuit or a warrior from the Harel tribe.”

The territory of the Harel tribe was not that wide.

If the Tang family’s warriors, who were good at tracking, decided to search, it would only be a matter of time before the location of the demon cultists was revealed.

By the time I stepped deep into the jungle area.

Shhh!

An unpleasant noise penetrated my ears.

I narrowed my eyes and raised my head.

Sigh!

A snake coiled on a tree branch swooped down, aiming for the back of the seal’s neck.

Changin Dojang frowned and swung his sword.

Sigh!

The snake’s body, with its head cut off cleanly, fell down in a patter.

Although he was exhausted due to the arduous journey, Changin Dojang was also an expert who had reached the end of his peak.

The level was not low enough to be attacked by animals or something.

But the next moment, something surprising happened.

“Ugh!”

The head of the snake that had fallen to the ground seemed to move as it pleased, and bit the ankle of the seal.

Changin Dojang’s eyes widened at the unexpected situation.

“omg!”

“What is this!”

Everyone looked surprised.

Dead creatures move and attack people.

It was literally an article I had never heard of.

Changin Dojang quickly removed the snake’s head and slapped it on the floor.

‘hmm?’

A sparkling line momentarily came into view.

Sigh!

I immediately swung my sword and cut off the thread attached to the snake’s head.

It was a thread so thin and transparent that you couldn’t even see it unless you strained your eyes.

The snake’s head, which had been bouncing like a ball and hitting Yuhwageom’s knee, lost its strength and fell down.

“Dang sojeo. Please take care of the window seal.”

“If you look at its round head and shiny scales, it doesn’t seem to be a poisonous snake. You don’t have to worry too much...”

“If it’s an ordinary snake, it would be like that.”

“.......”

Tang Seo-yeon, who understood the meaning of the words, quickly approached Chang-in Dojang.

Then, he pushed him hard, breaking his balance.

She grabbed the leg of the master who had hit his butt on the ground, tore off his clothes and examined the affected area.

Then at some point.

‘omg!’

Disparate waves passed through the masked man’s body.

Instinctively feeling a sense of crisis, he jumped up from his place and kicked the ground.

Immediately after that, a chunk of brain energy hit the spot where he was hiding.

Quaaaang!

A loud noise rang out and a cloud of dust rose up.

With the masked man’s expression of disbelief, he launched a light attack and attempted to escape.

‘how?’

I never thought that my location would be discovered so easily.

Even if the other person was an expert in fireworks, I was confident that I wouldn’t be caught.

He pulled out two daggers from his belt and rested them in his hands.

It was a weapon with a quite unusual shape.

The length of the blade was similar to that of a regular dagger, but the back of the sword was jagged like a comb instead of being straight.

‘For now, step back and join your subordinates.’

The masked man jumped off the ground and landed on a thick tree branch.

At the same time, a soft voice pierced my ears.

-I never thought they would attack from there first.

The masked man looked up with a startled expression.

When did it get this close?

A young man was standing on a thin tree branch, looking down and licking his lips.

-Jeolyeong-gaek, the head of the Palgakdang belonging to the Makyo Oewon (外院).

The masked man’s pupils trembled slightly.

‘what!’

My heart was pounding like crazy.

I wanted to scream and ask.

How do you know my identity?

However, there was no time to do so.

“This way!”

“Catch him!”

A loud voice coming from below.

We had to leave quickly before the siege was completed.

Immediately, the masked man who grabbed a tree branch poured out a bunch of sword energy to keep the young man in check.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Tree branches broke and debris flew everywhere.

The young man, Yeonsun, followed behind the masked man at a frightening speed.

‘You didn’t even get hurt after that attack!’

The masked man clicked his tongue and quickly looked around.

On the left is Jeomchang Ogeom and on the right is Shaman Chilgeom.

As I watched the enemies closing the distance by every moment, I felt anxious.

‘There’s no choice.’

He took out a small bead from his pocket.

He then threw it forcefully backwards.

Pow!

The beads burst and acrid poisonous smoke encroached on the area.

It was a poison so deadly that it could kill even an ox in half an inch.

It was a waste of money to waste it like this, but I was in no position to decide right now.

“.......”

The masked person rolled his eyes and looked left and right and nodded slightly.

Jeomchang Ogeomdo and Shaman Chilgeomdo.

I hesitated, not daring to jump into the poisonous smoke.

This could buy some time.

The moment he breathed a sigh of relief.

Quick! Quick!

‘......uh?’

An eerie noise penetrated my ears.

Peeing!

The masked man instantly felt goosebumps rising on his back.

I hurriedly grabbed hold of the hanging vine and twisted the new model, and a small chunk of brain energy passed by under my feet.

The moment the brain’s sphere collided with the tree in front, a tremendous roar engulfed the entire area.

The masked man, who had been staring blankly at the top of the tree that had disappeared without a trace, urgently looked back.

Whioooooo!

There was a large circular hole in the middle of the wall of Dokyeon.

The moment he saw the young man jumping into the hole, the masked man screamed in his heart.

‘What on earth is that monster?!’
