Chapter 192 – 192. Map of Ascension to Gwangmyeong
192. Gwangmyeong Ascension Map
‘I see a cabin below. It really arrived in 10 minutes.’
I hid myself in the protruding part of the cliff. The height was about 20m, so I could go down in 10 seconds.
‘All that remains is to wait. This is the hardest thing.’
An old man lives in an old shack down there.
In the city, he is called a beggar old man and is despised. But the old man is not weak enough to be despised.
‘The old man is the 7th step of the burial ground.’
The old beggar’s name was Ha Sok.
A wanted criminal who committed a crime, he accidentally found a cabin under a cliff 10 years ago and has been living in seclusion until now. He’s from the original, so I know a little bit about him.
‘Occasionally I come to the city to beg or steal food and take it. And he picks up things that others have thrown away.’
Gwangmyeong Ascension is a painting originally hung in a hut.
It is said that the person who lived before Hasok was a hunter, but he fell ill and died long ago.
‘Hasok is a shaman. His level is higher than mine, so it’s best not to fight.’
The protagonist of the original story is captured by Ha Sok. Ha-sok was caught off guard by the main character’s weakness, and the main character, who killed Ha-sok, accidentally found out the secret of Gwangmyeong Ascension while taking things that could make money in the cabin.
‘I am the main character. There is no chance that something like the original will happen. There’s no need to fight the subordinates.’
I walked around Giru, stealthily gathering information about the Hasok, and monitored the Hasok with a drone camera for several days to find out their life patterns.
Hasok spends most of his time in a hut. It is unknown what he is doing inside the cabin. Going out to the city is random. It could be out in a week, or it could be out in 3 months.
‘It’s impossible to plan a strategy targeting the chance that Hasok left the city.’
It’s because I can’t keep an eye on Hasok forever.
‘However, Hasok goes out of the hut once in the morning to urinate.’
Perhaps because of the smell of excrement, they move to a place farther away from the hut.
Aiming for Ha-sok to urinate, he breaks into the cabin, steals the Sword of Light, and quietly flees into the mountains. That’s my plan.
‘He who lives in seclusion cannot pursue me as deep. Even if he gets angry, he has no choice but to live with it.’
I watched the cabin waiting for him to come out quickly.
About 2 hours passed like that.
Hasok came out of the cabin.
He is wearing a black rag-like outfit. His head had only a few strands of gray hair due to severe hair loss.
Hygiene doesn’t look very good at first glance. If you go near it, you will get sick.
Hasok moved farther and farther away from the old hut.
‘Now!’
Fault. Fault. Fault!
I quickly descended to the ground and entered the cabin.
The cabin was dark and full of musty smell. Bone fragments of animals and wood fragments of unknown purpose were scattered everywhere.
I ignored everything else and approached the painting of the Ascension of Light hanging on one side of the wall.
The size is roughly equivalent to a 27-inch monitor.
The sky and mountains are drawn, and there are clouds in the sky. It is a picture of light coming down from between the clouds and illuminating the ground.
And in the center of the picture is a white dove flying in the sky.
“OK. Found!”
I took off the painting of Ascension of Gwangmyeong from the wall. On the back of the map of the ascension of light, the name 光明昇天圖 is written in small letters.
I struggled to hold back the excitement in my chest and turned to run out of the cabin.
“Was that painting the purpose? Why? Wasn’t it an ordinary picture?”
Hasok was standing in front of the door.
“… You came already?!”
“Cluck. I knew right away that you were hiding on the cliff watching me. Did you know that I would neglect my vigilance just because it was a cliff?”
I looked around. The cabin has no windows and only one entrance.
“Once it happened like this… I have no choice but to fight!”
I took out the Hwaryeonbido from my inventory.
“Hoo. What is that glowing thing? Judging from the way things are taken out of small things, it is certain that they are the least advanced Dharma tools! Give it away! I must have it!”
Ha Sok stretches out both of her hands toward me. There is a reddish aura on both of his hands.
“Only the old subject has as many greed as toads! Die!”
I pretended to throw my sword at him and kicked the wall right next to me. If you don’t have a window or exit, just make a new one.
“This guy! How dare you destroy my house?!”
Ha Sok swung his palm at me. An ornament with red energy flew toward me.
‘In an instant!’
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 4]
I ran away from the wind.
“Cluck. My body movements are quite fast… It’s futile….”
I heard the sound of a subordinate laughing at me from behind, but I ignored it. Even if he’s annoying, it’s hard to defeat him from the front with my current skills.
‘There is no need to take risks. I just need to get stronger and kill them.’
Back at the Meteor Checkpoint, Ha Sok can’t do anything. In Meteor Checkpoint, there are many talented people who can fight and defeat subordinates head-on.
“A stupid old man who doesn’t recognize treasure even though he has it by his side. Cheek. I will make good use of the Sword of Ascension.”
As much as Ha Sok laughed at me, even though Ha Sok couldn’t hear him, he laughed at him.
“Hoo…. Gwangmyeong Ascension Map is a treasure?”
Hasok appeared right in front of him.
“What kind of ability do you call it a treasure? I’m curious, so please tell me.”
“Fuck.”
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 3]
I immediately turned sideways and started running.
‘…… What?’
As I ran, I felt strange.
Hasok appeared in front of me instead of behind me. Unless Hasok teleported at least, that would be impossible.
‘There’s no way Ha Sok can use the space teleportation technique.’
And most of all, I’m running with all my power, but I can only see trees from before. If you run this far, it’s normal to come out of an empty field or something like a rock.
“…… No way.”
I stopped and looked around.
“The truth?”
“Cluck. Did you notice just now?”
Ha Sok appeared in front of me smiling.
“Okay. One of the battle methods, bulyeokjin (不易陣), was unfolded. You won’t be able to get out of the camp for a second.”
My face crumpled. I don’t know how to respond to Jinbeop.
‘Remembering the original…. In most cases, Jinbeop continues to be activated even after the sorcerer dies. If it’s true that it lasts for one test…. I have no choice but to fight.’
One visit is two hours.
Having to run away for two hours is physically impossible.
“Take out the treasure and look at it. I will spare you if you give me the treasure and tell me how to use it.”
It’s bullshit
Hasok is a criminal. If he was a trustworthy bastard, he wouldn’t have become a criminal and secluded here in the first place.
“Is that true?”
“This treasure is a smartphone….”
While explaining the smartphone, I took a grenade from my inventory, pulled out the pin, and threw it at him.
“Eat this!”
Quaang!
The grenade exploded. Hit head-on No matter how low he was, he couldn’t respond and was hit, so he would have no choice but to die.
The smoke cleared. Instead of the corpse of Ha-sok, there are hundreds of leaves.
“Stupid. Did I look that stupid?”
A voice was heard from behind.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 2]
He rotated his body and swung his sword.
Yeongcheon Stream Stream.
My sword drew a curved trajectory and aimed at the subordinate’s neck.
Hasok held my blade lightly with his red-energy hand.
“It’s fast, but not to the point that you can’t chase it.”
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 1]
He threw his fist at the lower ranks. He blocked my fist with one hand and then kicked me in the stomach.
“Gagging!”
I flew backwards and crashed into a tree. Even in the middle of the flight, I used the Hwaryeonbido, which I hadn’t let go of, as a staff to get up.
I rolled my head. The moment doesn’t work on him. It’s hard to fight head-on. Although he was a shaman, he also reached a certain level in martial arts. He learns martial arts and martial arts at the same time. It was no surprise in this world.
‘When he is caught off guard, he must be killed at once… !’
The problem is that he is not vigilant and is wary of me.
Different from the original.
Have to be different Because the beginning of the main character in the original work is only the first rank. To that extent, he is no different from an ordinary person who has just trained his body. Even if Ha-sok tried not to be vigilant, he had no choice but to be vigilant.
“It is true that I will save you. Cluck.”
Ha Sok held out his hand toward me. A hand with red aura. It threatens to kill me right now.
“… Do you think I’ll tell you about the treasure? Even if you kill me and get the treasure, you won’t be able to use it because you don’t know how to use it.”
“You mean you won’t tell me even if you die?”
“Whether I will die or whether you will die, no one knows yet.”
“You are young! I envy your spirit! But foolish! Cluck cluck.”
Hasok laughed at me.
I didn’t give up. He was glaring at him, waiting for an opportunity. Surely the opportunity will come.
Ha Sok opened his mouth. He muttered something it’s not talking to me
‘…… Is it alcohol?!’
I feel an evil aura from Ha Sok’s body.
A technique based on evil. That is, witchcraft.
‘Is the muttering of the lower ranks a rumor…? !’
I feel something trying to invade my body. It is a cool and sticky energy. I realized that this was the sorcery of Ha Sok.
‘This feeling is like…. How many times has unmarried art appeared in the original work?’
The main character of the original work has been singled out several times. The description then was similar to what it is now.
‘I’m sober?’
Only one. Except for the description that the more you listen to the advice, the more your mind becomes clouded.
The descent is getting closer.
I recalled how the unmarried drunken protagonist did in the original story, deliberately defocusing his eyes.
Hasok grabbed my head. Something came in and out of my head.
He looked me carefully in the eyes and smiled contentedly.
“Cluck. You’re completely caught First, tell me your name.”
“…… This is Sung Eugene.”
“Castle? Are you perhaps the son of the lord of the Meteor Gate, the Red Star Sword?”
“…… You’re right.”
“If I had missed it, it would have been in great trouble. That smartphone… ? Give me the Iranian treasure.”
“…… Here you are.”
Hasok picked up his smartphone and started looking around.
“This is the first thing I see. I saw earlier, there is a light here… Kuck!”
When he took his eyes off me and focused on his smartphone, he jumped up and stuck a hwaryun blade on his chest.
“Hey, man! Wasn’t he drunk on unmarried alcohol?!”
“I was just pretending to be caught. Die. Thunderbolt!”
Gripping support.
In Hwaryeonbido, blue thunderbolts flash and electrocute Ha Sok. Hasok tried to swing his hand at me, but was unable to do anything by the sudden thunderbolt.
“Turn it off!”
The thunderstorm weakened for a moment. Hasok had his heart pierced and received an electric shock, but he did not die. It is a monster-like life force.
‘There’s something shamanistic about it.’
Pajijijijik!
Sparked a thunderstorm again.
“Uh, how…. Is this guy who is barely in the middle of the standing ceremony handling brain ki…? !”
“I have no reason to tell you. Die!”
I squeezed out all the mana inside me and caused a thunderbolt. Lightning flashed on the blade and spread out in all directions, electrocuting Ha Sok.
Hasok seemed to hold on a few times, but eventually his whole body limp. It is dead.
I pulled the sword from his chest.
‘I can’t rule out the possibility that he’s pretending to be dead.’
I cut his throat to make sure he was killed. Considering that the main character in the original story pierced the throat of a subordinate with a dagger and killed him in one fell swoop. The neck must be the weak point.
After I killed Hasok, I leaned against a tree.
‘Fuck. If things had gone according to plan, I wouldn’t have suffered like this!’
I was so annoyed that I kicked Ha Sok’s head. His head was lifted up and impaled on a tree branch.
I took my eyes off Hasok’s head and picked up the smartphone that had fallen on the floor.
Then, he took out the Sword of Ascension from his inventory.
I stretched out my hand toward the pigeon in the center of the map of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong. After rubbing the dove picture a few times, my hand went inside. I grabbed something inside and pulled it out.
In my hand was the dead body of a dove with its neck broken, and the dove that had been drawn on the map of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong was nowhere to be found.
