Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 329

Squeak!

The sharp spear blade roughly tore the sleeve.

Changgui’s movements were rough and linear.

However, since his basic level was high, that alone was threatening enough.

‘hard.’

It wasn’t like he was wearing iron armor for no reason.

Even though the combat method was focused on attack, there were no loopholes found at all.

Self-defense energy wrapped around thick armor.

It was impossible to deliver a proper hit with any attack.

However, it was not easy to seize the opportunity and land a powerful blow.

They charged in like a bull and continued to pour out fierce attacks, leaving no time to catch their breath, let alone counterattack.

‘You used your brain well.’

Because he became a ginger city, his movements did not become monotonous, but rather, he seemed to have deliberately increased his aggressiveness through adjustments.

It definitely felt different from when I faced Yoo Jeong-geom.

We minimized our weaknesses and maximized our strengths.

Even excluding the fundamental difference in skill, Changgui was several times more difficult to deal with.

‘Of course, even so, it is not able to fully demonstrate its original capabilities.’

Thirty sum, fifty sum, hundred sum.

As the number of exchanges between attacks increased, the ability to respond gradually improved.

As I gained more knowledge, I naturally became more relaxed.

‘You don’t even care about distribution of strength.’

The self-defense strength that covered Changgui’s entire body showed no signs of abating.

At first glance, it seemed like an impregnable fortress, but in reality, it was not necessarily so.

Even if you were an absolute expert, there would be a limit to your skills.

It was clear that his skills would decrease if the fight became a long one, as he wasted a lot of his internal strength.

A warrior with an inner strength like the never-ending ocean was capable of enclosing the entire Baekdo martial forest.

A spirit known as a walking lump of energy, and a teacher who has practiced White Thunder Shingong for decades.

To put it bluntly, in terms of total internal strength, Changgui fell far short of those two.

‘It’s worth holding on to.’

Compared to when he competed with Hwang Bo-gak, this was a minor accomplishment.

If we focus on defense like this, we will be able to win with ease.

‘The gangshi who flocked to the direction of Hwangbogak… are being subdued one by one. I don’t think there’s any need to worry.’

Unfortunately for the Jiangshi, I and Hwang Bo-gak were not the only enemies they had to deal with.

Among the members of the detachment, there were several people with top level skills.

For example, Bangcheoksam, Jangjiangjohyeop, or Hwangbohun.

Boom!

The arrows that left the demonstration crossed the air.

A jiangshi whose sleeve was caught on a fishing hook lost its balance and fell to the floor.

A solid formation with Hwang Bo-hoon guarding Hwang Bo-gak’s back and Bang Cheok-sam and Jang Kang Jo-hyup supporting them at a slight distance.

Just one absolute expert was too much, but with so many strong people backing them up, the strong men had no choice but to be helpless.

“Kaaak!”

“Damn it! Every single one of them is not an average person!”

Sima Sega’s warriors worked hard to overturn the inferiority, but the remaining members of the detachment did not stand by and watch.

Hwang Ho-jin, Yeo So-ok, Cheon-woo Dojang, and Chang-in Dojang mercilessly cut down the crowd of warriors.

Dok Go-seong and Lee Soo-yeon were serving their own portions.

‘Anyway, that’s strange.’

I tilted the blade of my sword and shed the spear blade, narrowed my eyes and muttered in my heart.

Things were going so smoothly that you might think it was too much.

I thought it would be a very difficult fight until I joined the main force.

‘Where is the White Bone Demon Emperor?’

I told the detachment members to be careful if they found a small old man holding a cane.

Everyone was on high alert for fear that the Eight Great Demon Army might invade while they were caught off guard.

‘If the Spear Demon and the White Bone Demon Demon showed up at the same time, they would not have been able to avoid a struggle.’

I couldn’t figure out why they kept so much power hidden away.

Do you want to hide the fact that you colluded with the Demonic Cult?

If that were the reason, Ginger City would not have been added in the first place.

‘The Simase family wouldn’t have the luxury of going back and forth.’

Maybe White Bone Demon is not currently in Sega?

If you think about it, even when you infiltrated the Sega with Chen Jiaryeong before, you didn’t even see him.

I just guessed that the Demonic Cult had dispatched him after overhearing Gasol’s conversation.

‘Tsk. It makes me very anxious to think that a large variable is operating secretly somewhere.’

There was a possibility that the White Bone Demon Emperor rejected Simase’s request for support.

Considering the personality of the White Bone Demon Emperor, it was quite possible.

It did not occur to me that he would obediently follow the control of someone other than the Demon Cult Master.

Crackle!

Geogwal scratched the surface of the armor roughly.

I tried my best to counterattack by taking advantage of the gap, but I was unable to land an effective blow.

I frowned and punched the air repeatedly.

The sixth herbivorous fighting fist of the wall power.

Gwongyeok, who had a knack for striking the air, struck Changgui’s entire body.

Changgui, which had been pushed away leaving long footprints on the ground, immediately narrowed the distance again.

Quang!

The swords and spears clashed, causing an explosion of noise.

Even though inaction is not as good as before, an absolute master was an absolute master.

He was never an easy opponent to the point where it was possible to subdue him while he was distracted.

‘For now, focus on defeating Changgui.’

* * *

“Pfft!”

Dok Go-seong, a new member of Cheonan Gambu, let out a suppressed groan and took a step back.

He was so motivated that he broke out of the line and stepped forward, resulting in being attacked by three warriors.

It was a crisis due to lack of experience.

‘Individual skills are not that great. But…’

It wasn’t usually difficult to deal with them all at once.

This was my first time dealing with multiple enemies in real combat.

My hands and feet became dizzy and it became difficult to make appropriate decisions depending on the situation.

“I’m dead!”

The middle-aged warrior suddenly threw his sword.

Just as I was about to dodge and counterattack, something grabbed my ankle.

“…!”

There was a look of bewilderment in Dok Go-seong’s eyes.

In the rush, I couldn’t even pay attention to the corpses scattered on the ground.

A man with a sword wound on his lower abdomen was looking up with a creepy expression.

It seemed like he was looking for an opportunity to mix in among the corpses.

I felt the will to take at least one person as a companion before I die.

Kaang!

I had no choice but to strike away the blade with my gauntlet and step on the Jinak to shake off the opponent.

“this guy!”

“This will be unavoidable!”

Warriors wielding military flags occupying three sides as if waiting.

At the moment of desperation, the blade of a long sword covered in frost suddenly invaded my field of vision.

The three warriors who were concentrating all their attention on Dok Go-seong were unable to respond to the attack that penetrated the blind spot.

Sigh!

Blood splattered and the warriors screamed and rolled on the floor.

Dokgo-seong sighed in relief and looked to the side.

“thanks.”

“…….”

Intruder Lee Soo-yeon responded by slightly nodding her head.

Dokgo-seong made a puzzled expression at his attitude, which seemed indifferent and even cold.

A military officer of the same age who joined at the same time.

Although she wanted to be friendly, she seemed to basically not like interacting with other people.

There was an invisible wall surrounding it, so it was not easy to approach from this side first.

Cheon Ga-ryeong and Yeo So-ok, who were both equally addicted to the demon cult, treated her comfortably, but their friendship was not particularly deep.

‘I think Soun showed a friendly side when he was alone with his brother.’

Dokgo-seong laughed bitterly and shook his head to shake off his thoughts.

Now was the time to focus on the situation at hand.

After experiencing proper combat, I was able to experience it in a new way.

That I still have a long way to go.

[With my skills, what is my current position in the department?]

[Excluding administrative personnel, I am at the bottom.]

[……Yes?]

[I said I am at the bottom.]

Indeed, it was as Yeonsun said.

Among the members of Cheonan Gambu, there was not a single one whose skills were lower than theirs.

When the bandits of Yongolchae were subdued, the fight was so one-sided that it did not make much of an impact.

But now I couldn’t help but feel so shabby.

I was able to gather my loose mind.

The sense of superiority I felt when comparing myself to the new monks who had recently joined the group suddenly disappeared and my sense of improvement rose.

‘I need to improve my skills.’

There were two main reasons why he applied to the Cheonan Gambu instead of the torpedo squad led by Koo Tae-yeo’s father.

First, the desire to help Yeonsun, the savior of life.

The second is the desire as a warrior to be recognized solely for one’s abilities.

‘Instead of making a name for himself like this, he will only be remembered as one of the many members of Cheonan Kambu.’

My clenched fist gained strength.

Cheonan Gambu was a department that would disappear after the end of the Great War.

At least before the department was disbanded, I wanted to achieve something worthwhile.

My pride wouldn’t allow me to graduate with a shabby career.

‘When I return, I will have to increase my training.’

Dok Go-seong strengthened his resolve and threw his fist at the Sima Sega warrior who was digging into the side.

Kwasik!

The gauntlet, filled with quivering energy, was stuck squarely on the warrior’s face.

* * *

Waaaa!

The access road was finally completed.

The Allied soldiers are rushing into the interior of Sega, letting out loud shouts.

The warriors of the Simase family, realizing that they had no chance of winning, looked devastated.

Many people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

The Jiangshi, who were unable to make rational decisions, resisted until the end, but were outnumbered and suppressed one after another.

‘I guess I’ll have to finish this soon.’

I calmly took a deep breath and increased my energy.

bang!

He dug into Changgui’s arms, whose movements were noticeably slow, and hit his solar plexus with his elbow.

It was an attack that struck directly into the body beyond the iron armor.

No matter how strong I was, I couldn’t withstand the shock that shook my insides.

Changgui staggered back and coughed up blood.

Quadddddd!

Ak Yeo-ryeong’s support was added in a timely manner.

Something invisible was pressing down on Changgui’s body.

I lowered the pole I had raised above my head in a straight line.

Absolutely! Quick!

The concentrated brain energy gave off an intense radiance.

The blow with all his might shattered his iron armor and pierced his skin.

As the brain energy that had invaded the body ran wild through the blood vessels, Changgui, who had been trembling, fell to his knees helplessly.

‘It’s a bit excessive, though.’

This was what had to be done to stop the movement of the Gangshi made from absolute masters.

Because he was wearing iron armor, it was impossible to suppress the blood sword, so there was nothing he could do.

After looking around, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and muttered.

“At this rate, we can say that it ended without any major damage.”

* * *

An underground space located beneath Gajujeon.

As I was looking at the waterway where I had previously hid with my teammates, I frowned.

There were traces of destruction left on the left wall.

It meant that someone had escaped from Sega using the waterway.

‘There were traces of the White Bone Demon Emperor living in Huwon.’

The White Bone Demon Emperor had one nasty hobby.

He enjoyed collecting the skulls of powerful people, and as a result, there was a mountain of white bones in his personal warehouse at the headquarters of the Demonic Cult.

The temporary shelter provided for him by Sima Shiga was decorated with human skulls here and there.

In other words, the White Bone Demon Emperor was in Sima Street until the Allied Forces arrived.

‘It seems that the White Bone Demon Emperor took advantage of the confusion and kidnapped Sima Seju and ran away.’
