Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 394

Seo Ho-seon looked surprised.

It was my first time.

Why does Sawooyeon look so excited?

‘A murderer?’

It was a star name I had heard of before.

A confidant of Cheonakgun, the first disciple of the Demonic Cult.

He is a person who is treated as a problem child even within the Demonic Cult where there are so many madmen who are drunk on demonic nature that they get kicked in the foot.

I knew that he was the enemy who harmed Sa Woo-yeon’s family.

‘Dangerous.’

A cool sensation passed over the back of my neck.

Other group members who did not know Sa Woo-yeon’s story did not show any particular reaction to his strange behavior.

Each person was busy dealing with the enemy, and it was not unusual for a warrior to become excited during battle.

‘I have to support him.’

I wasn’t just worried because Sa Woo-yeon’s martial arts level wasn’t up to the level of a murderer.

If he had shown his usual rational self, there would not have been such an ominous feeling.

Because our army has the upper hand in terms of power.

“I’m dead!”

Sawooyeon, who immediately closed the distance between herself and the assassin, lowered the dagger in her hand diagonally.

Mo-sal-gwi, who had joined forces with the So-salma army to push Wu Ga-jin, frowned and bit Shin-hyeong.

“You bastard.”

He mumbled as if chewing and stretched out his tightly clenched right hand.

The gun that was fired grazed Sawooyeon’s side.

The night clothes were torn and the exposed skin was stained red.

‘…….’

Seo Ho-seon, who was behind the assassination in order to unite with Sa Woo-yeon, narrowed his eyes.

The shock must have been considerable, but Sawooyeon didn’t even moan.

The wound was not shallow.

Because I was extremely excited, my sense of pain had become paralyzed.

‘It’s a big deal. A fighting style that does not take care of one’s own body exerts great power in the short term, but if it progresses into a long-term fight, it will inevitably return as a poison to oneself.’

There have been many times when I have dealt with high-level experts.

Even though the opponent was an expert in flower techniques, he did not lack experience enough to be scared.

However, I couldn’t quite get over my anxiety.

Sa Woo-yeon’s appearance, as if she was trying to pour out her all, amplified his sense of crisis.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Meanwhile, the Sosalma army that was dealing with Wu Ga-jin was quickly driven into a corner due to the absence of Mo-sal-gwi.

Every time the large curved sword cut through the air, a fierce wind blew.

‘Was there someone like this in Baekdo Martial Arts?’

The fur all over my body stood up.

Although we were somehow able to get along, I decided that we couldn’t hold out for long.

If I made even a small mistake, I would end up dead.

It was an opponent with such a difference in capabilities.

‘……Right. It was late to notice because of the way I was dressed.’

Around the time when about twenty sums were exchanged.

Sosalma nodded once and muttered.

I felt like I knew the identity of the man in front of me.

A unique type of weapon and martial arts that I have never seen before.

The energy and bronze-colored skin reminiscent of a wild beast.

Given this much clues, it was impossible not to know.

It took time to recognize that he was wearing armor because it was different from the typical Namman warrior.

‘The archduke of the Yasu Palace who moved from Southern Manchuria to the Central Plains due to political strife.’

If the man in front of him was really who he thought he was, this fight was unwinnable.

The average inaction of the magicians assigned to the ruins attack team was not very high.

This is because we selected people with talents that would be helpful in the strategy, rather than individual combat skills.

To put it bluntly, except for the murderous demons, everyone else was just average.

‘It would have been a different story if my direct subordinates had been here.’

Unfortunately, all of the demons with superior military strength were fighting against the interceptor outside the ruins.

Sosalma’s subordinates were no exception.

It was natural, since fighting inside the ruins was not expected in the first place.

‘Damn it.’

I had to make a decision before it was too late.

I didn’t know that if I hesitated because I thought everything I had done so far was a waste, I would lose my chance to escape.

thud!

Tsk, the Sosalma army clicked its tongue and stepped on the edge of the camp, firing out a pair of spears.

Two hands engulfed in gray steel strongly pushed the curved sword away.

“her?”

Woo Ga-jin, who did a somersault and landed on the ground without defying the repulsion force, made a bewildered expression.

I felt a moment of anticipation as the opponent, who had been backtracking and focusing only on defense, suddenly counterattacked.

I was wondering if you finally felt like fighting properly.

I never thought that he would turn his back and run away as soon as the distance widened.

I don’t know what kind of divine method he had learned, but his running away was quite fast.

“Lord Confucius!”

“Where are you going!”

Wu Jiajin was not the only one who was surprised.

The demons who were observing the situation from the corner of their eyes also let out cries of embarrassment.

Ji-ryong stopped Wu Ga-jin, who was about to start the chase.

“There is no need to chase.”

“Are you saying we should leave it like this?”

“Our goal is not to annihilate our enemies.”

“Well, that’s true too.”

A satisfied smile appeared on the Earth Dragon’s lips.

Things turned out much easier than expected.

Thanks to the fact that the two men, believed to be the leaders of the enemies, quickly grasped the situation and fled, the damage to our troops was almost non-existent.

There was no need to push yourself to see the end.

The purpose of the infiltration team is to attack the ruins and intercept something that the Demonic Cult wants to obtain.

Aiming for a further criminal record was excessive.

“What are you thinking!”

But not everything in the world goes as expected.

The unexpected situation occurred when Jiryong turned his head to look at the other team members.

“Sawooyeon!”

Seo Ho-seon’s shout echoed loudly in the hallway.

The sight of Sa Woo-yeon fiercely following the assassin who had run away following the So-salma army came into view.

Seo Ho-seon, who was frightened, immediately followed after him.

‘this.’

The earth dragon’s eyes distorted.

He was quick-witted and understood the situation at a glance.

‘It looks like there is some kind of bad relationship between the samurai and the assassin.’

It would be nice if everyone prioritized the greater good over personal interests, but the reality was usually the opposite.

Jiryong sighed and hurried the group to chase after the two Cheonan Inspectors.

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

But that didn’t mean I could abandon my group.

Especially since I am not someone else but a servant of the Dragon King.

‘That’s a pain in the ass.’

The reason he dissuaded Wu Ga-jin from pursuing the Sosalma Army was not just to quickly complete the mission.

It was too dangerous to engage in a chase within the ruins.

There were too many variables, so casualties could have occurred.

Woe!

Did you say that ominous premonitions are never wrong?

Immediately after Sa Woo-yeon and Seo Ho-seon turned the corner and disappeared, a wave of heavy energy swept through the area.

The Earth Dragon turned the corner and looked at the place where the energy wave occurred and narrowed his eyes.

Boom!

The outstretched hand bounced back due to the repulsive force.

Beyond the disconnected space.

Something as thin as smoke filled the entire large cavity.

A space that feels similar in many ways to the places we passed by before.

‘It’s a different kind.’

It seems that he was trapped in a labyrinth because he accidentally touched a trap installed in the ruins.

Not only Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon, but also Sosalmagun and Mosalgwi.

‘Not good.’

The method itself did not have great killing power.

It was literally a camp to trap intruders.

The problem was the interlocking organ systems.

I could tell just by looking at the shape of the space.

There are vicious traps placed beyond both walls.

Also, they will be activated sequentially according to the movements of those trapped in the formation.

If it was not lifted quickly, the two Cheonangambu members could have died without even knowing what was going on.

“How long does it take to disintegrate?”

“Even if you catch it as quickly as possible, it will still take some time. Before disarming the system, engine devices must be shut down in order. Otherwise, the entire space may collapse.”

“It’s too late.”

“But don’t even think about jumping in yourself. Inside is a complicated maze. Even if Prince Wu enters, there is no guarantee that he will be able to join the two warriors. In fact, it is highly likely that the time it takes for the sun to set will further increase.”

“But if we leave it like this, the two of you might die.”

Wu Ji-jin’s worries were natural.

To put it bluntly, Seo Ho-seon and Sa Woo-yeon alone couldn’t handle the small-scale demon army and the murderous demons.

At the very least, it was difficult to gain an advantage over one of the two horsemen.

“Even if that were the case, there was nothing we could do about it. As I said, when Prince Wu directly jumps into the camp, it is a handshake.”

“…….”

“In the worst case, not only the two warriors trapped in the camp, but all of us could be in danger.”

If those trapped inside the formation touch something incorrectly or if Zhuge Hyukjin fails to do so, the entire space will collapse.

If he wasn’t careful, he could have been buried alive.

Even if we survive the rockfall, there is a high possibility that the people will be divided.

“For now, I can only pray that the two samurai do not encounter any demons wandering around the camp.”

Woo Ga-jin, who heard all the explanations, nodded heavily as if he understood.

Zhuge Hye, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward and began to help Hae Jin.

Everyone in the group watched the siblings moving around busily with anxious expressions.

* * *

Contrary to the Earth Dragon’s wishes, a fierce battle was taking place within the labyrinth.

Sigh!

Looking down at the torn sleeve of his clothes, Mo-sal-gwi narrowed his eyebrows.

He quietly stared at Sa Woo-yeon, who was taking a deep breath, and suddenly spoke.

“Now I understand. Who you are.”

“…….”

“Why did you attack me with such a vengeful expression? Was it to avenge your dead family members?”

I didn’t recognize it at first.

Because it looked completely different from before.

After receiving the treatment from a professional, not only did my face change, but even the quality of the energy I gave off was clearly different from before.

“This is absurd.”

The devil’s gaze turned to the dagger in Sa Woo-yeon’s hands.

It was a weapon with an unusual shape.

The length of the blade was similar to that of a regular dagger, but the back of the sword was not straight but jagged like a comb.

‘If I hadn’t paid close attention to the type of martial arts and weapons being used, I might not have noticed until the end.’

When I found out the other person’s identity, my memories came back to me.

The face of a woman who struggled and resisted until the end.

The faces of the family members who blocked his path from taking her.

“Jeolyeong Guest (絶影客). “How dare you betray our school and join the Dragon King?”

“…I can’t believe you, no one else, are saying things like that.”

“This school is proud of its strong self. It’s natural for those with power to take over everything. “Do I have to tell you such obvious things to understand?”

“Don’t open your mouth anymore. “Because my ears feel like they’re going to rot.”

Jeol Younggaek responded coldly and his new form disappeared as if in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared from the side of the assassin and raised his dagger diagonally.

Mo-sal-gwi snorted as if it was funny and threw out his fist to catch it.

Kwazijic!

An unpleasant crash sound rang out.

The fragments of the shattered dagger flew everywhere.

And the blood that jumped out dotted the air.
