Episode 283:
In the fight against the Blood Witch, I was unable to fully demonstrate my abilities as an absolute expert.
Because I couldn’t properly handle the energy amplified by the use of the Pakjam Demonic Attack.
Chosik, which required precision, had to be respected, and he could not even dream of performing arts such as swordsmanship or intangible swordsmanship.
Nevertheless, at that time, I greatly outclassed the Blood Witch.
Although my amplified skills surpassed that of the Blood Witch, the fact that she underestimated my resolve also played a big role.
‘Well, if the Blood Flower Witch had responded a little more coolly and calmly, the outcome would have been different.’
The Blood Flower Witch clearly had the ability to endure until she self-destructed due to the side effects of the Enchanted Sleep Magic Attack.
I was just embarrassed and couldn’t use it properly.
What if the opponent was not the Blood Witch, but the cautious and cunning Bungcheon Demon Emperor?
Or what if she was a vampire witch whose skills were far superior to that of a blood witch?
I can assure you that it was none other than me who died on the spot.
‘To put it bluntly, it was a simple fluke that I was able to catch the Eight Great Demons by myself at the time. The same luck won’t come to you twice.’
In the end, in order to fight against the main forces of the Demonic Cult, including the Eight Great Demon Army, there was no choice but to raise one’s fundamental level.
In the future, there should be no more cases like this where one is pushed to the edge of a cliff and operates a bombshell with a feeling of desperation.
‘If I ascend to the prefectural level and completely control the state...’
Even with a strategy biased against unstable energy, I was able to overwhelm the Blood Flower Witch.
What if you reach the absolute state of maturity?
I couldn’t even guess how much prestige I could gain.
I didn’t know if he could even overwhelm King Cheoljong, the White-Faced Death God who was said to be the best of the eight great demons.
‘It’s literally like a dream.’
It wasn’t just that.
Through my fight with the Blood Witch, I saw two possibilities.
The first is the operation of white lightning.
So far, I have only been able to use the condensed lightning strike in a limited way.
At most, the only thing that could be done was swinging the sword with a layer of lightning on its surface or energizing a needle made of iron and throwing it.
However, in the fight against the Blood Witch, I used the white lightning technique by condensing energy at a desired point and exploding it.
The thunder energy, which has the property of spreading arbitrarily, was literally manipulated freely.
Although it is not perfect, I thought that the white lightning was handled with a knack for forming a strong energy in the form of a will.
To be honest, I didn’t have the confidence to properly explain how I did it.
I just followed my intuition and used my energy as my instincts told me to.
One day, something my teacher said passed through my mind.
[In other words, you and I have different directions of enlightenment.]
[Because the ways to use White Lightning are endless. It wouldn’t be surprising if the branch that was spreading splits in the middle.]
[The direction of training I decided on was completely opposite to yours. If I had to find a word to express it, it would be diffusion, not condensation.]
The image of the Master descending on the battlefield, clad in white lightning all over his body, flashed before my eyes.
Even though I had also learned the White Thunder Godkung and had become a Thunder Spirit, I could not perform such a skill.
It was just as Master had expected.
As the level pursued was different, the method of performing martial arts was bound to differ greatly.
‘Well, I had some guesses.’
I knew that even if I reached the level of enlightenment in the future, I would not be able to mirror my teacher.
Therefore, I was feeling regret, anxiety, and anticipation at the same time.
‘I was curious about what my future self would look like.’
This time, I was able to resolve my curiosity to some extent.
The second possibility was the use of bombers.
This time, I felt it clearly while using the bomber.
If you have a blood vessel strengthened by the White Thunder Godkong, you can withstand to a certain extent even the internal energy that boils arbitrarily.
Unlike in my previous life, where I couldn’t overcome the intense pain that assaulted my entire body and went on a rampage, spraying my energy at random, I maintained my senses until the end during the fight with the Blood Witch.
‘In the end, it only slightly delayed the moment of destruction.’
Normally, I would have taken the guests to the living room and then taken them there, but since I was not feeling well right now, I was handling most of the issues in the office.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Thanks to your care, I have recovered a lot. “Please forgive my rudeness in greeting my seniors in their beds.”
“I don’t care.”
Two old men pulled up chairs and sat down next to the bed and looked at me carefully.
An awkward silence fell.
Jangjiang Johyeop, who was leaning his fishing rod against the wall, opened his mouth while looking at Sogeolgae’s eyes.
“You must be curious. “Why did we insist on meeting you?”
“To be honest, I’m a little surprised.”
“I’ll tell you straight. “Won’t you accept us as your subordinates?”
“......yes?”
I froze at the unexpected request.
Please take it as my subordinate.
Why did these old people suddenly get wind of something?
“It must be embarrassing. However, this is a decision we made after careful consideration. “I hope you don’t refuse.”
Sogeolgae added,
I had a doubt.
Sooner or later, Master would have to go through the admission process.
I thought that the four people who were Master’s close friends would definitely follow suit and take a seat in the main group.
“May I ask why you decided to come under my command?”
“I thought about what you showed on the battlefield. “He is a person worth following.”
“Are you serious? “Aren’t you a junior with a low distribution for a long time?”
“He is also a scary junior who defeated the Blood Witch single-handedly.”
“.......”
“Thanks to you, I was able to avenge my disciple. “I thought it was my turn to repay the favor.”
If you think about it, the purpose of Sogeolgae’s participation in the rescue team was to take revenge on the Blood Flower Witch who murdered her disciple.
It was no wonder that he, who had suddenly achieved his goal, tried to repay me.
“I didn’t specifically defeat the Blood Witch for my senior. “You don’t have to thank me.”
“If I don’t thank you, who should I thank? “They gave up their lives to protect us.”
“.......”
“I hate to say this, but we are both talented people who can be treated as VIPs wherever we go. “Accept it and no harm will come to you.”
“Of course I know.”
A calm smile was drawn on the lips.
I couldn’t help but feel bad when so many people with top level skills said they would volunteer to work for me.
While rubbing my chin and pretending to be thinking, I nodded calmly and said.
“great.”
Yangjiang Caohyeop and Xiao Jiegae simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite his relaxed appearance, he seemed to be quite nervous on the inside.
“However, we will exclude Elder Sogeolgae and accept only Senior Jangkang Johyeop.”
“What?! “What do you mean!”
Sogeolgae kicked off the chair and asked in a questioning tone.
The Yangtze Cooperation Association also showed a surprised reaction.
He had a look on his face that did not understand why he would only accept him as his subordinate and not Sogeolgae.
I said, making eye contact with Sogeolgae without any significant change in expression.
“I mean it literally.”
“Why can’t I?”
“I’m not throwing the elder out because I don’t like him or because he lacks ability. Quite the contrary.”
“......?”
“I would like to ask the elder to assist my teacher, who is planning to join the alliance soon.”
