Chapter 401
Episode 401
Banghyu’s death was handled quite lightly.
News that he died after losing blood due to premature old age and a chronic illness he had been suffering from.
And many people passed on the news without much doubt.
However, there were also those who knew the truth but remained silent.
Everyone was working under the water all day long, waiting for the Lantern Festival.
And finally the day dawned.
The day when three humans become dragons.
The Dragon Dragon Festival has arrived.
Puuuuuuu…
Puuuuuuu…
The sound of a magnificent wind instrument.
Boom…
boom…
even the majestic sound of drums.
Since it was an important event and they did not want to show off to the new dragons, everyone remained silent, hiding behind the sound of the instruments.
A formal event befitting tradition.
However, this was not all about Khan.
Giiiing…
Crashing…
Giiiiiiing…
Crashing…
“That’s that…”
“It looks like they’re about to show off a new style of giant weapon just in time.”
A new giant weapon recently developed.
Togun Unit 4.
Although this alone shows off its incredible prowess, as many as eight Togun Unit 4 units have been mobilized for the event.
If these eight forces move at the same time, small countries nearby can be destroyed overnight.
“… Your power is amazing.”
“So…”
Khan was the empire where tradition and civilization coexisted simultaneously.
No one felt out of place even though there were huge soldiers standing in a long line of palaces.
thud!
thud!
thud!
Troops lined up in rows beneath giant soldiers.
The general who briefly stepped away from the front lines for the Lantern Dragon Ceremony and participated in the event was also present.
His size was overwhelming, but the prayers of a man who had spent his entire life fighting battlefields were remarkable.
So many people attended the Lantern Dragon Festival that it filled the vast Dragon Palace. Khan showed overwhelming power and everything was good.
Just one thing.
Rumbling…
except when it’s cloudy.
Now it was the turn of the main character of the event to appear.
Puuuuuu…
Three people walked at the same time with the sound of wind instruments.
Those who wear robe and crown.
These were the people who would lead the Khan of the new era.
Taeyul, standing in the middle, was slightly ahead of the others on either side, and it was quite nice to see that.
If the people of the empire had seen this, they would have cheered.
However, as it was a solemn occasion for the royal family, no sound could be heard to replace the melody of wind instruments.
They walked slowly and stopped along the way.
In the first place, I wasn’t planning on getting any closer, and the event proceeded that way.
“Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, here you go!”
Hongcheon walked in on his own across from the three kings, including Seolhong.
For a while, he could only move while riding on a palanquin.
It seemed like his health had improved significantly.
He stood there, blocking the sunlight with a curtain.
Whoop…
“Long live His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
A praise for the Dragon Emperor that started with someone else’s chant.
As always, the Yonghwas sing a chorus of hurrahs praising the reign of the Yong Emperor.
“Long live Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
“Long live Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!”
However, there were certainly people who did not open their mouths.
They winked at each other and nodded.
They were the Yonghwa who knew that the monster wearing the shell of the Yongje was hiding behind the veil with a shameless face.
They were all recruited by Seolhong and Taeyul Shinyo.
Other than them, everyone else would be trembling at the scale and grandeur of the Lantern Dragon Festival, but they saved their trembling for the moment to come.
Many things will change today.
Whick…
The person wearing Hongcheon’s shell gestured, and the event continued.
Reciting boring speeches that may have come from someone’s head, and muttering cool lines while pretending to be impressed by them…
For those who knew the truth, there was no puppet show.
Dolls dance on a fancy stage.
“Prepare the fireworks!”
Kiiiiing…
clanking…
Giiiiing…
clanking…
All eight giant soldiers raised one arm towards the sky.
A weapon loaded with a huge amount of charge. Giant soldiers were walking batteries.
“for a moment!”
Taeyul raised his hand, not caring about his loose sleeves.
There was silence at the festival for a moment.
All the singing stopped.
I clenched my chin, finding the existence beyond the veil interesting.
“Before the congratulations, I dare to say something.”
Stirring hands.
It meant doing as you wish.
Taeyul shouted on behalf of the Shinryongs.
“Khan, empire of fire and flowers! “The glorious path of history built with the blood of the dragon will continue!”
Something was strange.
Clap…
Clap…
The giant soldier’s hand pointed towards the podium.
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The rebels who knew about it in advance quickly retreated, leaving only someone wearing the shell of Hongcheon left in their place.
“what!”
“It’s treason!”
“What on earth is going on?”
Taeyul, Seolhong, and Shinyo shouted.
“An individual cannot overcome the united power of a group. “Fade away along with Khan’s history!”
“percussion!”
Huoooooo…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Heavy drinking erupts all at once.
The giant soldiers were equipped with weapons made strictly for killing, not as fireworks for the Deungryongje ceremony.
Kwahiah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It was so powerful that the entire palace was blown away.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“The wind…”
A huge strong wind came.
There were also rare cases of people with blood flowing from their ears.
Why did the Lantern Dragon Festival become like this?
Yonghwa, who had not heard about the situation, was just confused.
Cheeeeeee…
A pit where only black dirt is visible, not even a foundation stone.
And the liquid boiling inside it.
It was a liquid made by melting rocks, and the temperature was not enough to describe it as hot.
Khan’s general, who had already set up the story, glanced at the pit and muttered.
“… Goodbye, evil dragon.”
A nomination that turns around.
And the Yonghwas are shocked to see him.
“General!”
Pisit…
the head of the nomination turned.
The intention was to look back, but it ended up spinning around and falling to the ground.
“Yes, you prepared it quite lavishly. My descendants. “Even after hundreds of years, there is still no development.”
Suddenly…
he appeared without even the slightest scratch.
Hongcheon… no, Hwageumuga.
I only glanced at the boiling lava with anxious eyes, and not even a single hem of my clothes was burned.
Giiiiing…
Giiiiing…
The entire front of the giant soldier was pointed at Hwageumu.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu aw aw aww the whey,
when hwageumu stretched out his hand, a huge spear flew out from somewhere.
An item that was a favorite disease during Hongcheon’s activities.
Chuck…
“It’s been a while.”
Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Squeak…
Squeak…
As Hongcheon stirred the air, the giant soldiers’ legs fell like straw bales.
Kwaaaaang!
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Yo, Dragon Emperor….”
“Yong Emperor! “What is this…”
Taeyul scolded those who still didn’t understand the situation.
“The author is not Hongcheon! Woe to you! “The evil dragon has taken on Hongcheon’s shell!”
At those words, Yonghwa’s eyes widened as if they had been struck by lightning.
“….”
Quar …
Shootah
ah …
[Hwagmu uses the power: Intending Sky.]
[Hwagmu controls the weather.]
[The current weather is a thunderstorm.]
[Stormy weather strengthens Hwagmu.]
[Hwageumu’s melee skill proficiency increases significantly and grants elemental power to melee weapons.]
“It was prepared quite grandly. One… I made one misjudgment. “I am not an individual.”
Whoosh…
Whoosh…
The large spear whirled around.
“No… not human.”
Sigh…
Hwageumu’s skin was covered with scales.
Suddenly…
a red-eyed dragon stood tall.
Seolhong, Taeyul’s group, and Yonghwa, who realized the situation, crossed their eyes.
Hwageumu’s resurrection was incomplete.
The fact that he was not fully revived also meant that he could still be defeated.
“As expected… I couldn’t get my body back!”
“Knock it down! Don’t let Hwageumu stand up again!”
“Waaaaaa!”
Numerous troops, generals, and dragon stones came together and attacked Hwageumu.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As Hwageumu steps forward strongly, the ground collapses.
He neutralized most of the rushing troops with one move.
That wasn’t all.
“body? Ah… you say that. good night. “I’ll show you.”
Whioooo…
Red energy swirled from Hwagemu’s hand. It was a very terrible feeling.
“Now it is time to take back what I have given you. “For all these years, I have been waiting for the day when the fruit within you would grow.”
Hwagmu raised his hand high.
“Gagging…”
“Ugh…”
All Yonghwa clutching his heart at the same time.
[Hwageumu uses serum absorption.]
[Collects the dragon’s blood.]
[If all the dragon’s blood is recovered, you will be revived with 40% health.]
He fell to one knee …
It was the same with Taeyul.
Hwagmu did not doubt his true resurrection.
however.
Crying…
It was a very small sound that turned the situation around.
Ringing…
It was the sound of a bell.
The sound of the bell disrupted everything.
[Use the Spirit of the Wild.]
[All evil energy disappears.]
…
There was a bell in Seolhong’s hand.
[Serum absorption stops.]
Hwageumu glared at Seolhong.
“… dare!”
At that moment, all the Yonghwas who regained their freedom formed a phalanx centered around Seolhong.
“Protect Seolhong!”
“Don’t let Hwageumu come near!”
“It’s time! “Surround him!”
Chill…
Chill… Yonghwa,
who regained freedom with only the sound of the bell, realized in an instant that they had to protect the sound of her bell.
However, this saying, on the other hand, also applied to Hwageumu.
If we just subdue her, the whole situation will end.
The world will once again be held in the hands of the evil dragon.
The spider web woven by humans looked so strong that there seemed to be no room for even a needle to fit through.
But the opponent was a dragon.
“Uuuum-!”
Grumpy…
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Kaaaaaaak!”
“Keoheeoeook….”
Bangjin explodes with one blow.
“Run! Seolhong!”
Jjireung…
Seolhong and Hwageumu’s eyes met.
At that moment, Seolhong’s body stiffens.
Right then.
Pot-!
Someone grabbed Seolhong and ran.
It was Chiwoo.
“Don’t stop the snow-red bells.”
“huh!”
Crying…
Crying…
“Do you know how to miss it!”
Numerous attempts followed to stop Hongcheon.
Puhwaaaaaaaaa!
“Turn it off….”
Quarrrrrgh!
“Aaaah!”
They were scorched by lightning and cut by spears to block the attack, but it was not enough.
Chi-woo gradually despaired that he would not be able to save Seol-hong.
At that moment, I noticed someone looking down from the upper floor of a secluded pavilion.
And Chiu, who crossed eyes with that person, spoke.
“Seolhong, please. “Please stay alive.”
“Chiu!”
“go! It’s up to you! “If you stop, Khan is over!”
Whi-profit-!
Chiwoo threw Seolhong over the fence and turned around.
The path he takes is the path of death.
“No, Chiwoo!”
“The wilderness spirit must not be taken away! go! “Don’t stop!”
Sigh…
Chiu, with hair sprouting all over his body, joined the others and rushed towards Hwageumu.
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
“… like.”
Chiu was the first to block Hwageumu’s blow.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu are areirs….Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
willwill be of great use that they will never be heard.
The geochang pierced Chiwoo’s stomach once and escaped.
Chiwoo collapses…
his entire body is drained of energy and he collapses.
Patter…
Hwageumu shook off the blood from Geochang and tried to chase after Seolhong.
Suddenly…
Chiu crawled on the floor and grabbed Hwageumu’s feet.
Whoa!
He was kicked by Hwageumu’s foot and flew away. And even as I was losing consciousness, I kept muttering. “You have to live… Seolhong
…
you must
… live….”
*
*
* It continued to ring and Hwageumu accelerated to chase after Seolhong.
The distance was gradually narrowing.
Suddenly, the distance between the two narrowed to the distance where Hwageumu could be seen.
Huh…
“Let go of the bell…”
At that moment, Seolhong felt that his body was floating.
Someone had snatched her body from Hwageumu again.
The person who grabbed Seolhong’s body was none other than Jinryeo.
“Fuck you!”
She ran screaming.
It was really, really fast.
She was not interested in the Dragon Dragon Festival and was hiding outside the Dragon Palace to sleep, but when she woke up from heavy drinking and saw Seolhong and Chiwoo wandering around and running away, she jumped in.
It was she who exchanged glances with Chi-woo in the pavilion.
“Jinryeo!”
Crying…
Crying!
“Can I just run away?”
Seolhong nodded vigorously.
“… huh!”
I escape from the dragon and devise my next plan. This is possible because the equal number of dragons in the empire are alive.
It was already too late for Hwageumu to withdraw. If we leave the wilderness alone, it will cause problems later, and if we try to retrieve the other blood first, we end up having to cough up the serum later.
So, I had to catch Seolhong right here as quickly as possible.
Paaaa-!
Paaaaaaat-!
They cross the palace.
“Kunna! Make me faster!”
– It will be hard on your body.
“are you okay!”
Jangle…
I threw the money bag into the air and it disappeared.
Sigh…
Jinryeo’s thighs swelled greatly and the speed of her escape increased.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day…
Kwaaaaang-!
A thunderbolt struck the spot where she was.
“Huh… Huh….”
A great burden came over my body.
Of course, what came to mind at this time were Chiu’s words.
– Effort is a habit. If you were that lazy, you wouldn’t know what to do when the time came to try later. So, I’ll tell you how.
Suddenly…
Chiu must be dead, right?
He must have died.
There is no need to listen to the dead.
“Aaaah!”
– I feel like I’m saving my efforts to do something important later. I’m sure it will!
You have to prove it.
I’ll prove it!
Tears overflowed from my eyes. Rain and tears obscured my vision.
Caught up again.
‘…Kunna, let me fly far away.’
Kunna, let me fly far away.
– What is the price?
There is no money.
No, this is impossible with money.
‘Take your left arm.’
Puhwaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Jinryeo!”
The distance widened significantly again.
But it wasn’t very far.
Grumble…
Grumble…
“Hehe… Heo… Don’t ever stop.”
“….”
“This Jinryeo is making an effort for the first time in his life… hehe… don’t stop… it’s a high price.”
Crying…
Crying…
As expected.
It catches up with you in an instant.
Jinryeo made a decision.
‘… I see. ‘Dragon.’
– You may seem indifferent, but I know you are courageous.
Jinryeo, the courageous one.
– There will be moments when you have to do what you have to do.
Jinryeo ran from roof to roof, shouting in her heart.
‘Kunna take my life.’
– ….
‘Keep Seolhong safe.’
– Is it a deal?
‘… please.’
– … refuse. I have nothing to give you.
Even the last struggle was rejected.
Jinryeo lost strength for a moment and fell through the roof to the floor.
Kwazik…
Kwazizijijik…
“Fuck… Damn…”
Someone jumped through the open roof.
It was Hwageumu.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Jinryeo ran again and left the building.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The building exploded in an instant.
You will lose your life in the next two seconds.
‘One….’
And.
‘two.’
It was strange.
For some reason it didn’t die.
Jjireung…
Seolhong’s hand stretched out.
The wilderness ordinance was an important item.
The dragon had spoken to her.
– Be mindful of your timing. It should be at your hand when you need it.
I couldn’t have guessed the time more accurately than this. The hand holding the object was now unfolding.
– What have you given the girl now?
The person who took the spirit of the wilderness from her was not Hwageumu.
– Hehehe… It’s time for the salmon to swim up the river.
Jinryeo muttered.
“Hehe… Kunna, I see… already….”
The reason why Kunna rejected Jinryeo’s request.
This was because Seolhong had already escaped the dragon.
Ringing…
The spirit of the wilderness was tied to a water chamber and hung on the handle of a sword.
The sword said.
?oh! This tickles me.?
“Hold on just a little longer.”
Seolhong muttered as if he had lost his mind.
“Why…”
“It’s difficult to get caught in the rain.”
– It’s difficult to get caught in the rain.
“How…did you come back?”
“I decided to come back…”
Three years had passed and the images of each other were erased.
“Because I promised.”
Crumbling!
Snowfall is back.
He said as he stood in front of Hwageumu.
“You finally woke up.”
“… who are you?”
Kang Seol grinned.
He brought out a legend from the East. It was the sentence that made Hwageumu feel the most fear.
“Dragon…I have come.”
