Chapter 499

Chapter 499

The story of the death of the White Faced Reaper quickly spread throughout the Allied Forces.

The strongest eight great demons.

The undisputed second-in-command of the Demonic Cult.

The morale of our troops soared upon hearing the news that the Dragon King had defeated one of the most feared enemies.

There were some people who seemed excited as if the political war had already ended.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s nothing to worry about.”

I reassured Hwadaerang by wrapping the affected area with a clean cloth.

The injuries sustained during the fight with the White-Faced Reaper were at a level that could never be taken lightly.

I was in a life-or-death struggle with a master of his caliber, but would I have the courage to stay sane?

The internal injuries were worse than the external injuries.

In particular, the move performed by the Baek-faced Reaper at the end shook the blood vessels and organs of the body.

‘Even though the point of impact was protected with a brace, this is the extent of it. What would have happened if the response had been a little later...’

If I were an ordinary person, I should have taken care of myself in the hospital bed without overdoing it.

However, since I had mastered the white lightning technique, I could not worry about what would happen next.

Because the durability and resilience of the body is nothing compared to other warriors.

Although he was injured, he would be able to recover from this in the near future.

So, what I said to Hwa Dae-rang a little while ago was not an empty remark.

“Thank you for your hard work while I was away.”

“no. As a lieutenant, I have to do this of course.”

“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to continue to suffer for a while. “I need to focus on recovery in preparation for the confrontation with the Demon Cultist.”

“Please leave it to me.”

“Do you have anything else to report?”

“It will not be long before the retaking of Shanxi will be completed.”

“That’s good news.”

“In that sense, I want to check in advance.”

“What do you mean?”

“How do you plan to move forward?”

What Hwadaerang wanted to ask was clear.

What can we do after completing the occupation of Shanxi?

If we followed the plan initially made by the military department, we would have to wait for the Allied Forces of Shandong to occupy Hebei and join us, but we could not help but consider the Wulin people of Sichuan who were cornered by Ma Jiaozhou.

‘To help those who will soon reach Shaanxi, it would be better to head west now.’

All operations must change flexibly according to the situation of the war.

In any case, the chances of the Maoists in Hebei blocking the allied forces in Shandong were slim.

The Hwangbo family, the Hebei Peng family, and the Namgung family joined forces.

There was even a torpedo squad led by Master.

The main force has already left, and only the renegades who have turned to the side of the Demonic Cult, like Baekmakmun, remain to protect the area.

An army led by the Sword King and the Thunder King would easily wipe out such an unruly group.

“You will soon be able to hear about the situation on the western battlefield through a messenger. “I don’t think it will be too late to make a decision then.”

“All right.”

Hwadaerang leaves the barracks.

I lay down on the bed, closed my eyes, and sank my consciousness inside.

There was a lot to be gained from the confrontation with the Hundred-Faced Reaper.

I was able to feel the results of my training and realized what I was lacking.

Before the final battle with the Demon Cultist, I received another clue to take a step forward.

I felt very happy about that fact.

The energy emanating from the dantian began to circulate through the blood vessels.

I muttered as I savored the white thunder energy flowing through every vein of my body.

‘I’ll see you soon. ‘Cult leader.’

* * *

“......okay. “It means King Cheoljong is dead.”

“yes.”

After finishing the report, the middle-aged Mine trembled.

I couldn’t suppress my fear.

It felt like the man in front of me was going to do something to himself at any moment.

Saaaaa.

I couldn’t breathe due to the demonic energy that had invaded the area.

I could tell just by looking at it.

How angry the religious leader was.

There was no particular gnashing of teeth or shouting.

“The subordinate who helped me all my life has died, so I have to comfort his soul.”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“There is no need to understand. “This is something that the authority has decided, so you just have to accept it.”

Hyeongun Dojang felt cold sweat running down the back of his neck.

Something was different from before.

I don’t know why, but I decided that I shouldn’t equate the demonic leader in front of me with the person I’ve been dealing with.

Pow!

The air seemed to be distorted, and something large and invisible struck one of the axis of the formation.

The six female priests of Amipah flew away without even being able to scream.

The attack did not stop at one time.

“Gagging!”

“Keueuuuuu!”

A lump of ceremonial shapes fell from the sky and crushed the Taoists of the Qingcheng Sect.

Those with deep inner strength somehow survived, but those with relatively lower levels could not endure it and died instantly.

“If you are looking for someone to blame and curse, just think of the Dragon King.”

“......?”

Ma Gyoju released his hand with a clicking sound and slowly walked away.

Feeling that the Poison King was getting closer, Hyeongun Dojang drew his sword and aimed it at him.

The next moment, the cult leader’s new form disappeared from its place as if turned off.

Sigh!

Hyeongun Dojang’s sword split the air.

A fierce sword strike aimed at the moment when the opponent breaks through the gap.

But surprisingly, Ma Jyoju did not avoid it or ignore it.

He didn’t even wear a self-defense device.

He accelerated further, dug into the inside of the sword road, and fired a short, sharp blow.

Quang!

A noise that was hard to believe was coming from a human body rang out.

Hyeongun’s seal, which flew away while vomiting blood, tumbled unsightly on the floor.

“Big.”

He stood up with difficulty, supporting his body with his sword, and looked down at his body with a disappointed face.

The left arm is dislocated and shaky.

The palms of my hands, where the skin had burst, were covered in blood.

Although I never let my guard down, I was unable to completely block the attack.

If he had been a little late in protecting the point of impact with his left hand, he would have died.

Crump!

Poison King Dangbaekgun came up to his side and grabbed his left arm and pulled it.

The missing bone returned to its original position with an eerie noise.

Master Hyungwoon frowned and moved his left arm, then looked to the side and said.

“Thank you.”

“I’ll hear your thanks later.”

“Be careful. “It seems somehow different from before.”

“I feel it too.”

Tang Baekjun nodded and looked at the Demon Cultist.

The hand holding the memory gained strength.

The Allied soldiers could not stop the movements of the Demon Cultist even for a moment.

Over twenty casualties occurred in an instant.

The damage could not be allowed to increase any further.

“.......”

After exchanging glances, Hyeongun Dojang and Dangbaekgun rushed to the left and right of the Demon Cultist.

Master Ma spread his arms wide as if he was waiting.

Puhwaak!

The magic energy poured out and covered both sides of him.

Hyeongun Dojang, who was covered in concentrated demonic energy with no time to dodge, gritted his teeth.

I just took a deep breath, but my vision started to blur and I felt nauseous.

I thought that since I had reached this level of absolute perfection, it would be difficult for others to endure.

‘It’s definitely different than before. ‘I can’t believe I wasted my energy like this.’

With all his might, he unleashed the thirty-six plum blossom swords.

However, the appearance of the Demon Cultist, which should have been reflected in my restored vision, was not visible.

Hyeongun Dojang, who was staring at Chosik splitting empty space, instinctively shouted as if he realized something.

“Be careful! Dangaju!”

Ujijik!

The next moment, an eerie bursting sound rang out.
