Chapter 2097 – 2097. Map of Ascension
I took Mi-ryung, who was in a coma, and went home. You can’t just leave it in a desolate cave with nothing.
I laid the naked Mi-ryung on the bed in Mi-ryung’s room. It seemed that the temperature in the room had risen by 5 degrees.
“It seems that midsummer has arrived. How about turning on the air conditioner?”
“It is better to leave it as it is. As the ambient temperature decreases, the amount of fire flowing out will increase. Then it will wither and die sooner than expected.”
I looked at Mi-ryeong. With her eyes tightly closed, she appeared to be quietly asleep. If I hold her body and shake it, I think I’ll wake up and laugh out loud right now. In reality, there is no reaction even when Wei Yu dresses her.
“… How did it happen?”
Clicked her tongue Those who try to cross the border and fail. I heard the story, but I didn’t know that Mi-ryung would become the party.
“You are half the reason. I must have been inspired by seeing you grow stronger at an unbelievable speed. This guy always said he wanted to help you.”
“… Even if you don’t overdo it, it’s helpful enough.”
“The person concerned doesn’t seem to feel that way.”
We went out of the room and discussed. There was only one answer. See a professional and find out how to deal with it. I planned to visit Baekran, a regressor. Maybe Wii Yu had a better plan than me, so I asked.
“Master. Do you know any sorcerers you can turn to for help?”
“It has been a long time since I cut ties with the world. All the sorcerers I know have left this world. At least, there are those who maintain a vague relationship like the Namgung family, but… I don’t think it will be of any help this time.”
“If you ask Namgung Family for help…”
“The Namgung family is a martial family. There must be a sorcerer working in the family. However, do you think it will be of some help to the sorcerer who failed after trying to reach the state of harmony?”
“I don’t think so.”
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed reasonable to visit Baekran. Another famous sorcerer? They couldn’t be easily trusted. If there is no way to do it, you will have no choice but to go there with the mindset of grabbing at least a straw.
After a short conversation with Wiyu, I left Nakwolsan Mountain. Wiyu decided to take care of Mi-ryung at Mt. Nakwol. If it were her, she would be able to deal with any emergency.

Returning Heavenly Demon Baekran. As a regressor, she is currently working as a first-class member of the imperial palace, not a member of the Heavenly Demon Goddess.
Just because I want to meet him, I’m not in a position where I can blindly meet him. Of course, there were means of contact. Because she is also a collaborator who held hands with her and I.
‘To meet and talk as soon as possible… I have to move myself.’
Thunderstorm, Rain God.
From Mt. Nakwol, it became a single bolt of lightning and ran through the sky. The fastest means of transportation I can use is a space travel scroll, but unfortunately there is no space travel scroll with the coordinates of the destination.
‘The lightning god is much faster than a horse, so in the current situation, it’s best to run with the lightning god.’
The destination is a city near the capital. Because the land is so large, I had to run for several days.
Of course, it was not easy to run without stopping using the fire god. Just because it’s a renewal method doesn’t mean it doesn’t consume stamina. In the case of the god of lightning, like its name, it seems to be flying, but it runs hard. As time goes on, you get tired.
Originally, I rested in the middle to replenish my stamina, but… I ran until my heart burst. When I was exhausted and my legs couldn’t move, I used full recovery. I was able to run almost infinitely because the cooldown of full recovery turned faster than I was tired. Food? Ate while running.
Fourth day
Today, as always, it was time to run through the sky and cross the mountain. A booming voice echoes.
“Stop!!”
I could feel hostility that I couldn’t hide from the obvious cry towards me.
I tried to ignore it and pass by. Because I wasn’t the one to stop just because I was told to stop. But they just didn’t let me go.
‘Is it true?’
Can’t go forward It is blocked. Before I knew it, I was trapped in a camp installed on a large mountain.
I had a low level of knowledge in this area. I couldn’t figure out what exactly it was. One thing is for sure, it’s an annoying jinbeom that even I can’t ignore.
Descended from the sky It seemed like lightning was falling. Sparks flickered all around me. He said without compromising his brain.
“Come out.”
The guys showed up. It was a scene that seemed to suddenly appear in a thick fog, perhaps due to the influence of the Jinbeop.
He had a slovenly face, wore clothes made of leather, and carried a weapon. It was a bandit.
“It’s ridiculous. Bandit bastards dare to block my path?”
The boss-looking guy steps forward. His face was full of scars, so it was hard to recognize his features. He laughed heartily, as he should.
Haha! I don’t know which famous master you are, but here Mt. Girang is the territory of our Paerung Sanchae (霸陵山蔡). To cross the mountain, no one has to pay a toll, without exception.”
I narrowed my eyes and measured the bandit leader. Judging from the energy felt, the state is in the middle of the five qi. It was too high for a bandit boss.
“Are you from Green Forest?”
Nokrim is a group of bandits who have mastered martial arts, and is a force under the King of the Mountains among the four kings, an alliance of Sapa.
They pretend to be there while talking about green forests, but in reality they are just a group of criminals made up of criminals. The reason why bandits learned martial arts is because they were originally from the Moorim school. You can think of it as a gathering of criminals who were excommunicated or chased for committing a crime.
“Haha. If it’s not green, what is it? If you want to pass this mountain, you have to pay us a toll. The exception is the government, but… Daehyeop is not a government army. The toll tax is set differently for each person. In the case of Daehyeop, ten thousand jade.”
Hand over heaven to these bastards? Heaven’s Jade was both currency and a resource for me to become stronger. I couldn’t hand over one thousand to the bandits.
“I was so excited because I wanted to lose. Do you think the likes of you can stop me?”
“Why are you so uptight? What, have you lost your family lately? Think soberly. Would we have blocked the front of the great agreement with nothing? The camp installed on this mountain doesn’t just block the road to Daehyeop. It strengthens our strength.”
The energy of the bandit boss and the bandits under him started to get rougher. They were temporarily getting stronger using the power of Jinbeop. It wouldn’t be power without a price. I don’t know what the cost is and I don’t care.
“Even if Daehyeop is an absolute master who has reached the level of the Three Kings, he is not invincible. If you know, pay the toll. When it’s nice to say it.”
“Those who aren’t enough even if they get down on their knees right now and pray…”
Heavenly Demon Goddess.
Silky demonic energy flows from my body. Magi didn’t rise upward, it sank gloomily and spread out in all directions. The bandit leader’s expression distorted. The scars on his face wriggling like insects.
“Margie?! Damn. I thought he was a nameless master, but was he on the side of the Demonic Cult?!”
The bandit boss brandished his sword. The red river pierced through the demonic air. However, Magi does not completely disappear.
“Ugh, boss…”
“Don’t be intimidated by phenomena. Just kill that guy! Attack!”
Before the bandits charged all at once, I raised my right foot and stepped on the ground.
Heavenly Demon Goddess, Heavenly Demon Ruler Limbo (天魔君臨步) Waveform.
Waves of magic spread low on the ground in all directions with me at the center. The bandits touched by the wave shuddered as if they were suffering from a disease. Among them were those who fell to the floor unable to breathe properly.
The complexion of the bandit leader also changed completely.
“What the fuck… Jin-gak, it seems like it will turn inside out all at once… Isn’t this the reign of the Heavenly Demon?! It’s not possible that he became a small heavenly horse 30 years ago… ?!”
He summoned the Hwaryeonbido and held it in his hand. Black demonic energy rushes over the red blade and transforms into the shape of the blade.
The Heavenly Demon Sword.
“Damn! Why is Socheonma here?!”
The bandit boss shouted as if screaming and threw a knife at me. Hwaryeonbido lightly cut the knife. His sword whirled through the air before returning to the boss’ grasp. It was not an ordinary sword, but a legal weapon.
The Heavenly Demon Singong (天魔神功) and the Heavenly Demon Sword (天魔劍) return heaven.
He swung his sword. A strong wind swept through the surroundings in an instant. The air trembles as if resonating with it. The upper and lower bodies of the bandits in the vicinity are separated and fall.
However, this is not enough. There were more living ones than dead ones. Needless to say, the boss who rushes at me with self-defense equipment on his body.
Move the will Slowly move clockwise, lying low around.
Heavenly Demon Demonic Dragon.
Magi rotates and is cut off from the world for an instant. The severance was the truth.
Once, twice, three times, as the rotation continued, everything around it was shattered. The dismembered bodies of the bandits, including the bandit leader, fell to the ground while spinning in the air.
I let out a long breath. The inside shook a little, perhaps because it was momentarily overworked. It’s embarrassing to say that it’s an internal injury.
‘The truth is still maintained.’
There’s no way the bandits had set up this camp, someone had set it up for them. Probably an excellent sorcerer.
‘I don’t know how to cancel the truth with magic. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any methods at all.’
Jinbeop has a subject. If you destroy or change it, the truth will disappear. It takes a long time for me to find out on my own. Because the core of the truth is basically hidden. As an outsider, I can’t find it right away.
‘ In this case, the power of the mountain is used. In other words, you just have to smash the mountain.’
I swung the Hwaryeonbido once again. The black whirlwind swept the mountain as a small storm.
Heavenly Demon Demonic Dragon.
Trees were cut down, the ground overturned, and rocks fell far away.
As expected, as the mountain was damaged, the jinbeop did not function properly. I became a line of lightning and ran through the sky.
