Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 380

‘Indeed.’

I stared at the empty space beneath my feet and let out an exclamation.

They say it’s a strategy to trap absolute masters.

It definitely felt different from a typical camp.

‘There was a reason why the intelligent dragon acted so confident.’

Whioooo!

A cliff worthy of the expression “Celestial Cliff.”

Currently, I was falling endlessly down there.

If I wanted to, I could have stopped in place by walking in the air, but I didn’t do that on purpose.

No matter how much time passes, your feet will never touch the ground.

‘Now I get it roughly. ‘How did it come into being?’

The lineup consisted of a total of seven sections.

Each section was built with an extreme environment that stimulated the survival instinct, and the risk greatly exceeded that of most high-level formations.

Caw! Knock!

A loud noise penetrated my ears.

Hundreds and thousands of crows flew in from all directions, aiming for me.

It was much faster than an ordinary crow, and its straight beak was sharp like an awl.

In the past, when I climbed Seoldu Mountain to attack Cheon Gi-ja’s secret temple, the words of Sima Yun flashed through my mind.

[It would be best not to look down on it as an illusion. The human brain will not recognize it as an illusion. In the worst case, you could die.]

Even though it was an insubstantial illusion, it was impossible to ignore even a being that attacked directly.

I swung my sword so fast that an afterimage appeared and cut down the crows.

Every time we reached a new section, we were met with a similar type of attack.

Burning skulls in the scorching hell.

In the open sea, there are fish with strange appearances.

In the frigid regions, there are giant snowmen.

There are various wild beasts in the tropical rainforest.

In the dark void, there is something whose shape and size cannot be guessed.

‘The only exception was the white area…’

Pow!

I frowned slightly as I thought about what had happened.

As I looked down, I noticed a beak digging into my left thigh.

The body, which was supposed to be connected, could not be seen where it had gone.

‘There are too many.’

If he had protected his body with self-defense, he would not have suffered any injuries.

The reason for not doing so was to minimize the consumption of internal power.

The true value of this method was that it sucked the inner energy of the warrior trapped inside and gradually increased its power as time passed.

It was a truly vicious structure.

This was the reason for creating an extreme environment and forcing the consumption of internal energy.

Would you say it feels like you are trapped in a net that is becoming increasingly tighter?

‘The way to break the law is simple. All you have to do is destroy it with force before its power increases beyond a certain level.’

The problem is that we have already passed the point where this is possible.

The Jinbeop, which had evolved based on the enormous energy it had absorbed from me, had become so powerful that it could no longer be destroyed with force.

‘You used your head well. This type of strategy would work well for the Eight Demon Lords as well.’

Of course, in my case, it was my passive response that brought me to this point.

Isn’t it impossible to use an intangible sword all of a sudden while trying to use the formation on a trial basis?

The second problem was that the research facility that had been built at a high cost was damaged.

In the worst case, the life of the earth dragon waiting outside could be in danger.

‘Perhaps Zhuge Hyukjin had this in mind when he asked me a favor.’

Does that mean it won’t work for absolute experts other than me?

That wasn’t necessarily the case.

Let’s look at a simple example.

What if the Bungcheon Demon Emperor is trapped in this formation along with his favorite subordinate?

Will he be able to unleash his intangible power despite the sacrifice of his subordinates?

I can assure you that it would not be possible.

First of all, we will try to understand the structure of the Jinbeop and find the path to birth.

As you wander around the seven sections without knowing anything, at some point you will realize that you are trapped in a prison from which you cannot escape.

The formation of as many as seven sections was also a device to make the target trapped in the camp accept the gradually increasing power without any doubt.

‘There are restrictions on how to use it, but it has clear practicality.’

Knock! Caw!

Crows flying constantly.

As I was frantically swinging my sword, my eyes lit up when I noticed a black dot on the sheer wall.

‘found.’

I jumped straight into the air and ran toward the cliff.

The black dot that quickly expanded and filled the field of vision was a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

I ignored the crows following behind me and jumped into the passage.

“under.”

After a while.

The moment the space beyond the passage came into view, I smiled bitterly.

The crows that were chasing me as if they would pierce my back at any moment dispersed and disappeared like a mirage.

Then, the hot air irritated my skin.

Although he had already achieved invincibility in the cold and cold a long time ago, the heat in this section was not at a level that could be ignored due to the high level of martial arts.

Ahhh!

The skeleton soldiers wandering the burning hill noticed my presence and screamed.

I rubbed the back of my neck with my sleeve and strengthened the hand holding the sword.

‘This is already my third time stepping into the scorching hell.’

It has become an incomparably more dangerous section than when I first saw it.

I felt at a loss, but I had the honor of being an absolute expert, so I couldn’t give up here and ask the Earth Dragon to lift the formation.

I was planning on just trying to get it to work.

‘First, let’s test how strong the ghosts wandering hell have become.’

* * *

“Sega’s testing ground?”

“That’s right.”

widely! widely!

A man and a woman climbed the mountain at high speed.

The woman, Zhuge Hye, spoke in a voice as cold as ice.

“Explain. “How did this situation come about?”

“The accident occurred while I was guiding Sega at the request of the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises.”

“You said you were trapped in a camp.”

“yes. Recently, the formation method I was researching started to work randomly…”

“Is that really true?”

“I think it’s natural for you to be suspicious. There are things I have done so far. But please trust me this time. “It is clear that the cooperative is in danger.”

Zhuge Hye chewed his lips and increased the speed of his training.

I wondered if something was wrong with the life of the Dragon King, who was famous throughout the entire central plains, but even so, I couldn’t help but feel worried.

“……”

Zhuge Hyuk-jin, who was looking at the back, drew a meaningful smile on his lips.

* * *

A white space where nothing exists.

I returned the sword to its sheath and fell flat on the floor.

‘Somehow I came back.’

This was the only safe zone among the seven sections.

An environment that awakens the target’s survival instinct and a monster that attacks.

Nothing existed here.

All that is visible is the snow-white floor, walls, and ceiling.

‘First, let’s think carefully about a way to get out of here.’

If you thought it was a place where you could relax with peace of mind, it wasn’t.

As it turned out, the white zone was the most dangerous section.

A scenery perfect to drive the trapped person crazy.

Even going so far as to gradually paralyze the target’s senses.

If I stayed too long, I could lose myself.

‘It has been strengthened to an incomparable degree compared to before, so it is not easy to destroy the space or find the path to life.’

I didn’t plan on wandering around looking for a passage to the next section anymore.

In the end, you just end up going around in circles for seven sections.

It was already late, but I had to take the time to think about it now that I had some free time.

What should I do in this situation?

How can I get out of the camp and go outside?

“…….”

He slowly raised his upper body and sat cross-legged.

Next, he used his internal skills according to the structure of Baekrei Shingong and contemplated himself.

I don’t know why, but somehow it felt like it had to be that way.

How much time has passed like that?

‘Right.’

As the feeling in my limbs began to fade, I realized a few things.

The branches of energy that spread out conveyed various information to me.

In the larger scheme of things, the white zone was essentially the same as the illusionary hall installed in front of Gija Cheon’s secret building.

Of course, if you compare the levels, the Hwangjinjin side was much higher.

‘This is a space based on the spirit, or intention, of the trapped person.’

If so, it could be destroyed.

It was quite possible for me now.

* * *

A vacant lot located halfway up Yongzhong Mountain.

Zhuge Hyuk-jin pointed his index finger in the direction of the camp and shouted.

“That place!”

“The Yeon Sohyeop is in there?”

Zhuge Hui’s face became serious.

Very rough breathing.

Her sweat-soaked hair showed how quickly she had run.

“How to do it?”

“There is a way, but it requires at least two skilled fighters to join in. That’s why I called you.”

“What the hell did you do to end up like this!”

“……”

Zhuge Hyukjin looked slightly surprised.

How long had it been since his sister showed such faithful emotions?

“I will officially report this matter to my father, or rather the head of the family, so I know that.”

He smiled inwardly and nodded.

The sight of my sister being so excited and shooting at herself couldn’t have seemed fresh.

If the Dragon King saw his sister now, he would recognize her right away.

What kind of feelings does she have towards him?

‘Now all that’s left is.’

By manipulating the battle order, the Dragon King can hear our conversation.

After explaining the structure of the Jin, Zhuge Hyukjin took the fetish placed outside in his hand.

‘Huh?’

Immediately afterwards, his expression became distorted.

Unable to withstand the repulsive force rising through his fingertips, he let out a groan and let go of the casting.

Zhuge Hye looked at him with a puzzled look as he grabbed his wrist and took a step back.

‘What is this?’

Zhuge Hyuk-jin looks down at his hands with a stiff expression.

The happy feeling from before was completely gone.

The reason he was able to maintain his playful attitude even after pushing Yeon-woon into a dangerous battle was because he was based on the premise that he could easily be resolved through external manipulation.

However, the current method was so strengthened that it could not be controlled at all.

Beyond feeling embarrassed, I also felt absurd.

It was clear that the Dragon King trapped inside was spewing out energy at random, increasing the power of the attack.

Otherwise, I couldn’t explain the current situation.

‘What were you thinking when you did this?’

You’re acting like you’re strangling yourself.

I couldn’t figure out what was going on inside.

‘……This is no longer something that can be passed off as a joke?’
