Rehearsal (4)

Of course, the scenario for the rescue of the dragon children through Hugo’s activities had already been planned to some extent.

In order to create a more realistic production, no details were directly touched, but part of the effort was to adjust in advance the power of the demonic cults that would be encountered during the process.

However, when he suddenly received a gift from the Dragon God, his strength exploded…

‘Things are going to be easier than you thought?’

The result was what it is now.

“Hwa-gyeong! “It’s Hwagyeong!”

“Don’t rush in! “Prioritize holding on as long as possible!”

While the demon cultists blocking the basement passage continued to scream and shout, Hugo lunged at them single-handed and quickly swung the sword he was holding.

I was worried for a moment whether I would be able to adapt quickly because of the sudden increase in skill level, but after using martial arts myself, I was able to clearly feel that it was all for nothing.

‘···Is this amazing?’

The sword in his hand moved freely as if it were a part of his body.

The moment his will was established, the sword had already reached the target point.

The state of oneness with everything and everything, as if one has become one with the weapon, the union of the body and the sword.

It was an ecstatically exhilarating sensation.

“You idiots! “Are you not even able to hold on properly?”

At that time, among the demonic cultists, a large man who was well over 2 meters tall stepped forward, huffing and puffing.

Holding a viciously large mace in each hand.

‘You’re finally here.’

A transcendent demon in charge of protecting this ceremony site.

Originally, he would have been a person who would have been a formidable ordeal for Hugo, who had the advantage of being the main base and the help of his subordinates, and had a lot of luggage with him…

‘The situation has changed, so the plan must also change.’

For me now, that level was just a rite of passage.

Wow—

He tightly gripped the handle of the sword in his hand.

Thanks to the ‘Gongyeongjiche’, the unlimited internal energy swirled around the sea of four limbs, awakening the body’s performance to its limit, and soon the enormous energy was sucked into the sword and began to transform into the essence of destruction.

“Strength…! “Quickly deploy your defenses…!”

The opponent was preparing to respond in an instant, with his subordinates ready to respond, but Hugo did not care at all.

Just immerse yourself more deeply into something that resides within you.

‘「Heavenly Dragon God Technique」.’

It was the new name for the “Unknown Gong (名功)” who blossomed under the touch of the Dragon God.

A culmination of Kang Hwan-gye’s martial arts, created by intertwining all the martial arts he had learned so far, as well as secrets he had never known before.

‘If they block your way, just break it!’

Press and hold for a quick and strong attack.

Pajik—!

Several tricks were combined, and brain power surged in my hands.

It immediately swung around on its sword body and transformed into a thunder dragon, instantly growing in size.

Rumbling—!

A strong dragon made of large lightning bolts wraps around Hugo’s body.

It let out a roar like the sound of thunder and shot straight to the front along the tip of the sword pointed forward.

“Stop it!”

“not···!”

Right after that.

Other sounds, including screams, were swept away by the loud roar.

It was a devastating blow that would not have been surprising if the passage had collapsed had it not been in a space with a special formation.

Pajik— Pajik—

The only person standing on two feet in the scene where residual sparks kept popping like residual fire was the supreme expert, with his arms crossed covering his face.

“Ugh…. Hey, Innoom…!”

However, even after overcoming the sacrifices of his subordinates, he was never unharmed.

Skin blackened by cerebral exhaustion, smoke billowing from the entire body, including the mouth, and hair and beard sticking out as if hit by a bomb.

However, as expected, a demon is a demon, and even though it looked quite defeated, the opponent did not give up its resistance.

“Off!”

Both eyes turned bright red and bloodshot, and the body that had suffered serious damage began to recover at a speed that was beyond common sense.

And then, as if he had lost his mind, he lunged straight at Hugo with only life left in him and swung two maces.

“die!”

I was wondering if there was a side effect of lowering one’s intelligence in magic, but it wasn’t a very wise decision.

‘Well, the technique of losing one’s sanity instead of increasing one’s physical abilities is common everywhere.’

Hugo slowly raised his sword.

It absorbs and flows out with a gentle change.

The twin maces, which seemed as if they could crush a huge rock, were engulfed by the imperfect force that had been forcibly pulled up, and lost their bearings as they slipped in the waves surrounding the swords.

The movement of the water dragon flowing through the sword did not stop there.

Ssaaa—

A stream of water flows arrogantly and swirls around the tip of a sword that draws a circle.

It soon became a rough tsunami and swept away the posture-disoriented giant.

“Bwak!”

Drop!

The giant, who lost his grip on the mace, hesitated and stepped back, wrapping his arms around his neck, which the water dragon had bitten off.

The moment the attack failed, he reacted quickly and dodged backwards, but that only allowed him to avoid instant death and could not change the future.

This is because he had no means of regenerating even though more than half of his neck and heart had been torn off.

The supreme demon stumbled with his eyes wide open and eventually collapsed and lay lying down.

It was an unusually vain ending that was set up to be difficult.

‘It was a little different from what I expected, but it wasn’t bad.’

Hugo glanced at the messy passageway and slowly nodded.

Well, it felt a bit ambiguous as an ordeal at the level of an extreme expert.

The higher and more rugged the obstacle that stands in your way, the more impressive it is when you overcome it.

If this side’s power increased, it was enough to raise the enemy’s level accordingly.

“Let us hurry. “Since the escape is already known, there is no benefit in staying here.”

He looked back and spoke quietly to those following him.

They were a little distance away and only approached after the battle was over and were walking cautiously, trying to ignore the devastation around them.

“It must be a battlefield outside… “Can we join the Murim Alliance in the middle of the battlefield?”

Among them, Zhuge Hyemi, who was relatively calm, opened her mouth in a worried voice.

Thanks to her ability to use divine power, even the sickly dragon children can now move on their own feet, but aren’t they only a little lower than ordinary people?

It was impossible to cross the battlefield where the battle was so fierce.

“Let’s try it first… and if it doesn’t work, we’ll have to find another way.”

Hugo nodded slowly and answered her words.

Meanwhile, in one part of my mind, I was having a hard time discussing how to effectively modify this scenario, mobilizing egos of various tendencies.

Since he had already received the advance payment, it was his duty to do his best to satisfy the investor’s needs.

‘Am, if you received an investment, you have to pay for it.’

Not only will this allow you to attract additional investment, but won’t the reputation of existing customers have a positive influence on new investors when you go to other markets?

He had no intention of being satisfied with this level.

Of course, in order to do that, it will be important to finish this stage successfully.

“Thank you, Daehyup. “The only thing we can trust is Daehyeop.”

“···Yes. “Anyway, we have nothing more to lose, so we have no choice but to do something.”

“Still, the demon cultists want to capture me alive without even a scratch, so wouldn’t there be a good chance?”

Hugo tilted his head slightly as he watched the dragon children each say a word, as if trying to shake off the tension.

The war going on outside was important, but managing them was equally important.

The ultimate goal of Kang Hwan-gye’s scenario is the reconstruction of Dragon’s Heart.

They were absolutely necessary in the process.

***

Chang— Chang—!

“Ouch!”

Kaaagh—!

Kwaaang!

In a battlefield where all kinds of noise are mixed together.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok…”

Rough breathing continued to come out of the mouth of Unhak, the Taecheong swordsman who participated in the battle as a member of the Murim Alliance.

Because of the harsh environment of the demonic world, even a brief intense fight would quickly cause one to become suffocated.

It was a shame because I was getting help from magic techniques, including Jinbeop, otherwise I would have exhausted myself long ago.

“Whoa.”

He let out a deep sigh as if taking a deep breath, looked down at the Jiangshi lying on the floor as his sword stopped functioning, and bit his lip again.

‘···Rest in peace, priest.’

The identity of the lecturer was a priest who studied with him.

Just six months ago, we parted ways to avoid the sword of the Demonic Cult and promised to meet again in the future.

‘I never thought we’d meet again like this…’

His school was the Kunlun school, which has now disappeared.

Because it is closest to Xinjiang, where Magyo is located, the Murim breakwater often suffers the most damage whenever they visit.

Before the imperial palace bloodbath occurred, there was not only respect from other forces for such efforts, but also considerable practical support, but as the world fell into chaos and everyone was busy looking after themselves, that has long become a thing of the past.

It can be seen as a natural progression that the Kunlun faction, which was isolated in a remote area, eventually collapsed.

It was purely by chance that he, a survivor of Kunlun who had been moving around the world, was able to come to this place.

While staying as a guest at a small family with whom he had a small relationship and consulting with his family, he heard the news that an all-out war against the Demonic Cult would soon be launched.

Having crossed the line of fire and reached the pinnacle of excellence, he joined the Beijing expedition without hesitation.

We want to continue Kunlun’s will to protect until the end.

To let the world know that Kunlun’s descendants still remain.

Above all, this was the best opportunity to get revenge on the Demonic Cult.

‘···Demon Cult bastards, what on earth have you done?’

Tai Qing Sword, who had already given rest to several Jiangshi from Kunlun, including the priest he had just defeated, ground his teeth.

These were by no means ordinary jiangshi.

As a Kunlun Taoist who was on the front line against the Demon Cult, he was well aware of the jiangshi they wielded, but there was something inexplicable about the individuals mobilized for this war.

‘In every way, it is a reinforced version of the existing Gangsi. Not only does his physical ability but also his resistance to internal energy become stronger, so he won’t be able to even scratch a top-class player. ···If you go beyond that…’

His eyes turned to one side of the battlefield.

The warriors of Hwagyeong, who were experts above him, the demons, and the jiangshi of the same level as him were constantly clashing violently.

‘Long writing…’

Among the lectures of the Flower Classics, Kunlun’s Jangmun-in was also included.

Not only that, but how long have they been collecting the corpses of masters? The number of jiangshi of a similar level is twice that of this one!

Therefore, the number of Hwa-gyeong-class forces was overwhelmingly inferior to that of the Murim Alliance, but fortunately, the battle situation itself was not that bad.

That’s because the Murim Alliance had Surahyeoljon, an expert in Hyeongyeong from Sapa.

‘At this level… we can win even if the damage is great.’

Taecheonggeom’s gaze, which was examining the battlefield, caught the fight going on in all directions.

The Sword Saint who faced the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, and the Emperor of Paecheon who clashed with the Blood Demon Jiangshi.

And Shinseung and General Jeongcheon exchanging fierce attacks against Heavenly demon, and…

Kwaaang—!

“Kahahahahaha! This is so hot! “It’s also fun!”

A madman who bursts into laughter even though he was pierced by the Heavenly Demon’s magic sword that seemed to split the sky and left a huge hole in his abdomen.

‘···Shingwangma. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.’

Indeed, the majesty of the Heavenly Demon was greater than just hearing about it.

If it weren’t for Shin Gwang-ma, at least three, maybe four, police officers from this area would have had to step in to stop him.

If that had happened, other battlefields would have exploded in an instant in the aftermath and would have been annihilated a long time ago.

This was all thanks to Shin Gwang-ma, who displayed immortal-like majesty and spared no effort to serve two people.

‘What we need to do is create an environment where they can defeat the Heavenly Demon. If only we could stabilize the battlefield as much as possible so that more people than now can join in dealing with the Heavenly Demon…’

After taking a breath, Taecheonggeom firmly grasped his sword again and took a step toward the battlefield.

Since I had enough rest, I planned to burn my body again and do my part in dealing with the demonic cult.

‘can do. ‘If I keep this up, I can do it!’

Amidst the fiery desire for revenge, hope slowly sprouted.

A sense of elation arose as the heroes continued to advance toward their goals without collapsing even in the hostile environment of the devil.

And as if it had been a long time since he had been tormented by the guilt of abandoning his monastic life and running away, he felt proud of himself for participating in this great journey.

‘This is the power of Moorim. No matter how dark the night, eventually dawn dawns—.’

With our own hands, we will clear away the dark clouds hanging over the world and achieve a bright future.

like that.

A moment of optimism.

Rumbling—

Something unusual began to occur in the dark clouds that were covering the sky.

A purple lightning flashed loudly from a gap in the dark clouds that made an unusual sound.

So much so that even those who were concentrating on the fight in front of them couldn’t help but pay attention.

Quagwagwagwang!

And finally.

From heaven to earth.

With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, purple lightning fell all over the battlefield.

***

‘I guess I can slowly pick up the pace.’

Hans, the being who was hiding behind the curtain and controlling the battlefield, smiled vaguely.

So far, everything has been going as planned without any problems.

This space where a large-scale barrier was spread was already under his control, and he controlled the amount of abyss supplied to the Heavenly Demon through it, helping him to function at an appropriate level.

‘But this isn’t enough for a climax.’

Hope should not come this easily.

In order to unite everyone who is divided, it is essential to not give up and fight together to achieve even in the face of despair and trials that are beyond our control.

And for that, something a little more overwhelming was needed.

Hans nodded happily as he looked at the giant beings rising one by one from the spot where the purple lightning had struck.

Kaaa—!

Oooooh—!

Monsters the size of houses, showing off their presence with ferocious roars, continued to twist their bodies.

A look of despair began to appear on the faces of the people who had somehow maintained their balance until now.

Giraffe, nine-tailed fox, goblin, etc…

It was the moment when the top-level monsters that had been painstakingly created appeared.
