Episode 396
“Big!”
Seo Ho-seon struggled to stand up, clutching his abdomen, but his expression hardened.
A murderous spirit that strikes a single blow to the chest of Sa Woo-yeon, whose mouth is covered in blood.
The sight of Sawooyeon flying like a kite with a broken string caught the eye.
I immediately used a memorized attack and aimed at the killer’s critical point, but he was not an opponent who would take me lightly.
Quack!
The strong energy concentrated in the five fingers took the form of a tiger.
The monster that had destroyed the memorization by swinging its wrist at an invisible speed groaned in a low voice.
“Hmm.”
Blue blood vessels bulged on the skin.
The raised eyebrows trembled.
The whites of the eyes are stained red with burst veins.
I could see at a glance that I had been consumed by demonic nature and had lost my sense of reason.
“Kaaaa!”
The demon turned its head and leapt towards the fallen Sawooyeon.
Seo Ho-seon, who followed after him with a series of memorizations, pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it diagonally.
Phew!
Immediately after, the evil spirit’s new form disappeared from Seo Ho-seon’s sight.
Seo Ho-seon urgently looked up above his head and let out a sigh.
The demon, who had kicked off the ground and made a big leap, was looking down at him with his hands and feet planted on the ceiling, fixing his body.
bang!
Seo Ho-seon, hit by the shoulder of a murderer, bounced away like an arrow leaving a protest.
The blood that was vomited out turned the ground red.
Is this what it feels like to collide with a thousand stone?
‘I broke my ribs.’
Seo Ho-seon, who reflexively got up from his collapsed state, stumbled from the overwhelming dizziness.
He, who was unable to correct his posture, eventually collapsed.
The assassin’s finger passed over his head at a distance of half an inch.
Wow!
Sa Woo-yeon, who killed the sight and approached the back of the assassin, mercilessly kicked him in the side.
The assassin, whose posture collapsed after being unexpectedly attacked, screamed and twisted his upper body.
A strong force in the form of a sharp wave surged up and passed through Sawooyeon’s upper body.
Sigh!
My chest split open and blood poured out.
The wound was so deep that the bones were visible.
Shake!
At that moment, a clear driving sound penetrated the demon’s ears.
Feeling a sense of danger, Mo-sal-gwi tried to escape, but Sa-woo-yeon did not let him.
He rolled around on the floor, hugging the assassin with his right arm, which was only moving above the wrist.
Kwasik!
The iron spear, from which I don’t know where it came from, pierced Sawooyeon’s side and Mursalgwi’s knees at once and became embedded in the ground.
“.......”
Seo Ho-seon’s expression became blank.
So far, the injuries that Sa Woo-yeon has suffered, although serious, are not life-threatening.
However, the penetrating wound caused by the iron bar was undoubtedly fatal.
“Big!”
Mo-sal-gwi pulled out the iron bar that Sa-woo-yeon was impaled on from his leg and threw it roughly on the floor.
Sawooyeon’s new form, which was shaking, soon became limp.
“Has the engine device linked to the ruins been activated?”
Did he regain his senses due to the extreme pain?
The demon muttered, pressing his pounding head with one hand.
I managed to get up, but because I lost the use of one leg, I couldn’t control myself properly.
Seo Ho-seon’s breathing became heavier.
My heart was pounding and a strange heat swirled throughout my body.
“Aaaah!”
“Don’t waste your energy on useless things. Do you think you can live with these wounds?”
“.......”
“At the very least, I wish I could at least properly say thank you on my way to the end. Thanks to you, I was able to avenge my family. It’s a pity that I couldn’t finish it with my own hands, but...”
A soft smile formed on Sa Woo-yeon’s lips.
Seo Ho-seon’s face was distorted miserably.
Revolving light reflection.
A colleague I had worked with for many years was nearing death.
When I was a murderer, I thought I had become insensitive to the deaths of others through the process of mind killing, but I could not control my emotions.
“Why did you do that?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you throw yourself away like that? “It would have been enough just to tie the movements of the assassin in place without the need to do the same thing.”
“Because I decided that was the surest way to kill him.”
“Was it necessary to give up one’s life for revenge?”
“In the first place, I never thought about it after I achieved my revenge. “After all, I have no regrets about a world without my family.”
“.......”
“Don’t lose like me.”
Sawooyeon closed her eyes with an expression of utmost satisfaction.
Seo Ho-seon placed the cold, hardened body on the floor and looked up at the ceiling with a soulless expression.
It was some time later that the Jegal siblings and other team members came to the rescue after the disaster.

Ku-kwa-kwa-boom!
The battle between Ma Jiao and Yeon Yeon-un attracted the attention of all the warriors on the battlefield.
The atmosphere was distorted by the clash of enormous forces.
The screams of the warriors caught up in the swirling storm echoed.
Prince Cheonak, who was exchanging sums with the coin bag, muttered with a tired expression.
‘Is that really a human fight?’
The expression ‘the opening of heaven and earth’ is probably used in times like these.
Every time the two sides exchanged words, the terrain changed.
The battle was so bloody that the warriors around didn’t even dare to get close.
They all knew.
If you intervene incorrectly, you will quickly become a piece of minced meat.
When Yeonsun swung his sword horizontally, the entire mound behind the sect was cut off.
When Ma Jyoju stretched out his fist, dozens of warriors along the path were pushed away at once.
‘Four years ago, I could handle it on my own.’
This was my second time seeing Geumgong’s Yeonsun.
Even when she had not yet reached the absolute state, she was able to defeat the Blood Flower Witch single-handedly, but now that she has taken the throne of the Ten Heavenly Emperors, her capabilities are incomparable to then.
‘but.’
A fight in which neither side can easily gain the upper hand.
But I didn’t feel any worries.
I was sure.
He would not be defeated by an opponent who had only improved his skills through expedient means.
There was no way that the power amplified by borrowing the power of Geumgong could be maintained forever.
As time passed, the one who would gain the advantage would be the Demon Lord.
‘He’s my teacher, but I can’t possibly guess the end.’
Even though he was fighting such a fierce battle, Ma Cyoju looked fine.
He only had minor injuries and didn’t look very tired.
On the other hand, Yeonsun seemed to be losing strength by the minute.
The difference may not seem very noticeable now, but as time goes by, the gap will widen uncontrollably.
‘I once wondered what would happen.’
When the leader arrived on the battlefield and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor died, I thought everything was over.
If the religious leader had not come to support him, he would no longer be a person of this world.
There was a gloomy aura in Prince Cheonak’s eyes.
Sadism boiled over at the sight of Joo Hwabaek struggling with one of his ankles missing.
Although I was very tired from fighting for a long time, my strength was not so low that I could not help an old man with limited mobility.
Even so, I was thinking about how I could make up for the mistake of letting Bungcheon Demon Emperor die, and the perfect sacrifice was right in front of me.
If you take the Murim Lord’s head, you will be able to gain some respect in front of your teacher.
‘We won this fight.’
