Chapter 489

Episode 489

“Huh.”

“King...”

The leaders of the Allied Forces swallowed their silence after hearing the messenger’s report.

King Hwang Bo-gak was made a first corpse and was transported to Hwang Bo-sega.

Everyone had a stern look on their faces upon hearing the news that the absolute master who held the throne of the Ten Heavenly Emperors had left the battlefield as soon as the all-out war began.

“Fortunately, I received treatment from a divine doctor before it was too late and it is said that my life is not in danger. However, because the injury was so severe, it is expected that there will be significant aftereffects. “I may never recover my martial arts skills.”

The enemy that Hwang Bo-gak faced was Emperor Surama.

He was one of the eight great demons and was a person who learned martial arts classified as strange skills.

‘Even so, the compatibility is not good, and the internal injuries suffered from the Demon Cultist were not healed.’

Even without seeing it with my own eyes, I could tell that it would have been a huge disadvantage.

In some ways, it was a fight that was bound to be lost.

Rather, it was surprising that they were able to overcome such adverse conditions and push Suramaje into a corner.

‘It’s something I felt before when I joined forces with him to deal with the Demon Cult Lord.’

King Kwon was definitely a hottie.

It was not simply a statement of high social status or martial prowess.

He had his own color that set him apart from ordinary people.

Just looking at the fact that he sublimated that color into his own strength, he was a person worthy of high praise.

‘In fact, it should be said that the King of Power is out of power.’

It is not known whether Hwang Bo-gak will be able to recover his health and regain his martial arts skills.

But one thing was certain.

He will not return to the battlefield until the final battle is over.

‘It’s not such a bad result.’

I mumbled, rubbing my chin.

It’s clear that it’s unfortunate, but there’s no need to think negatively about it.

‘From a global perspective, if King Surama was seriously injured instead of leaving the battlefield, that would be a waste of money.’

There was no reason for our troops to avoid a war of attrition.

Perhaps Hwang Bo-gak also had that in mind, so he overdid it and went against Surama Emperor.

The few remaining members of the Demonic Cult’s highest ranks suffered internal injuries and were weakened.

In fact, it had to be seen that the Baekdo Murim’s chances of winning the war had increased.

‘The combined forces of Sichuan and Shandong are moving north smoothly. Now it is the turn of the combined forces of Henan and Hubei to respond.’

Everyone waited with nervous expressions for what I had to say.

I looked around at the leaders gathered in the command barracks and spoke as if making a declaration.

“Get ready. Tomorrow morning, we will destroy the Demon Cult’s defenses.”

“...!”

* * *

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath, leaving behind the warriors waiting for the order to sortie.

I felt tension.

Even though Gansu and Hebei were on the verge of falling into the hands of the Baekdo Wulin Allied Forces, Ma Jiaoju had not yet appeared.

From the Demonic Cult’s perspective, it is a time when choice and concentration are necessary.

Even a child could have guessed that they, with their main force intact, would try to individually destroy the allied forces coming from four directions.

‘In that sense, the most dangerous thing is the combined forces of Hubei and Henan targeting the heart of the Demonic Cult.’

Currently, the Demonic Cult has moved its headquarters from Xinjiang’s Tianshan to Shaanxi.

In other words, there was a high possibility that the religious leader would descend on this battlefield.

The monster who could alone change the course of the battlefield was the Demon Cultist.

Even though I was stronger than before, I still wasn’t confident that I could fight him alone.

It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel anxious.

‘but.’

In the end, it was a mountain that had to be overcome.

How many times have you already checked?

The Demon Cultist was ultimately human.

Even the possessor of transcendental inaction can be defeated if you pressure him step by step.

‘Enough of my random thoughts.’

It was time to put aside my vague fears and give courage to those who were watching my back.

I spoke with confidence in my voice.

“Let me say it again. It is my responsibility to defeat the Demon Cultist. “I will not give up that role to anyone.”

My back felt chilly.

Although it was my first time seeing it, it wasn’t that difficult to figure out the identity of the attacker.

There were only two monsters in the Demonic Cult that could deceive my senses and get this close.

The Demon Cultist and the Hundred-Faced Death God.

‘I thought he would be looking for an opportunity this time, disguised as a Baekdo martial artist.’

In any case, he was an unpredictable person.

He boldly pretended to be a corpse and lay down on the floor, waiting for me to approach him.

I couldn’t delay even a moment since I knew that my opponent was a white-faced reaper.

“Sigh!”

I kicked the ground, kicked the sphere of brain energy formed at my feet, and moved in a dizzying trajectory.

I knew this, having faced him several times.

That the opponent is handling multiple weapons at once.

I shouldn’t have been relieved that I had dodged a long sword in my hand.

Shhh!

Five swords moving through the air at high speed, aiming for my vital points.

Now that I have fully attained the absolute state, I can clearly recognize the thread of form that connects the sword and the white-faced messenger.

‘That’s amazing.’

Did you say that you only see what you know?

Even while I was busy moving my body, exclamations of exclamation naturally flowed out.

Although he was an enemy, he could not help but feel awe at the level that the White-Faced Reaper had achieved.

wickedness!

The sword fell diagonally and cut through the sleeve of the clothes.

The White-Faced Reaper’s ceremonial form was not intended to directly attack the opponent.

The direction of enlightenment was completely different from that of an ordinary absolute master.

It was a skill that only he could show that no other martial artist in the world could imitate.

‘I’m sorry.’

A precarious situation where it feels like your whole body will be destroyed at any moment.

In the blink of an eye, the members of Cheonan Gambu, seeing me in danger, gave a shout of security.

“haha.”

I smiled, showing my teeth.

It’s unfortunate for the White Faced Reaper, but the person I was before and the person I am now are completely different people.

The third herbivorous full moon.

The sword’s trajectory drew a large circle.

I aimed for the exact moment when the five swords crossed each other.

The White-Faced Reaper’s eyes widened as he witnessed all the swords being thrown away with a single light strike.

‘now!’

I didn’t miss that opportunity.

It kicked into the air and hit the opponent in a straight line.

The fifth herbivorous half moon.

The recovered sword fell on the head of the White Faced Reaper, drawing a smooth curved trajectory.

The energy that had been swaying along the surface of the sword rose and took on a clear shape.

The White-Faced Reaper, who quickly regained his composure, swung his sword and countered the attack.

Kwaaaaang!

A crash sound similar to an explosion rang out.

A cloud of dust rose, and the ground on which the White Face Reaper was standing fell down.

As if they had been waiting for this moment, Wu Ga-jin and Geom-hu rushed forward, occupying both sides of the White-faced Reaper.

The arrows of Bangcheoksam, who had left the protest, aimed at his shoulders and knees.

“Tsk.”

The white-faced reaper, who had bitten the new type by gliding with a ghost-like step, clicked his tongue and swatted away the arrow.

The five swords that flew around in the air tied up the movements of Wu Ji-jin and Sword Hu.

In an instant, the composition changed.

When the first raid failed, the current situation was as if it had been planned.

‘From now on, the only thing left to do is to push forward with my teammates...’

I let out a groan of embarrassment as I was about to jump off the ground.

A sudden feeling of nausea arose along with dizziness.

I was able to quickly identify the identity of the abnormality in my body.

‘Poison!’
