Heavenly Dragon Sword Association (1)
In the middle of a quiet oriental room.
Exhaling evenly and gently closing his eyes, Hugo Ha Seung-hoon was quietly meditating.
Now, all kinds of martial arts concepts were swirling in his head, and he was repeatedly dismantling and reestablishing the martial arts he had accumulated so far.
‘Is this great?’
After the process has been completed to some extent.
He slowly caught his breath and involuntarily expressed his admiration.
‘In some ways, this can be seen as the perfect prescription for me right now.’
After roughly summarizing the swirling knowledge, he slowly opened his eyes.
As much as I wanted to immediately take care of everything and make it my own, it was inevitable because the amount of uneducated knowledge floating around in my mind was so enormous.
Moreover, while the realization of one’s own martial arts was all that one knew immediately as ‘Ha Seung-Hoon’, this was so difficult that no matter how impatient he was, it would take a few days.
“The Black Dragon Secret Book…”
It is a proof of loyalty that Heinz II received as a gift from the Black Dragon Master, the owner of the Black Dragon Society.
It was a name worthy of pride in containing the essence of martial arts at all levels of the martial world.
Of course, it was non-class, but it was not in the form of a book.
No, it wasn’t something that had a shape before.
It’s just that the Black Dragon Master has received all of the information through the skill that allows him to record and manage ‘all the martial arts he knows’.
‘That man is definitely not an ordinary person. Well, as long as you can achieve achievements and get special benefits on Earth, I’ve said everything.’
Isn’t even the name “Reverse Cheonja”?
It was not a nickname that could be considered lukewarm at first glance, as it was a being that went against the will of heaven.
‘Former branch leader of Beoncheonhoe, which is full of strong people who are not revealed to the world. There is no way that Hoeju would have put Eojung-ideo-jung in such an important position. In the early days, the Buncheonhoe considered swallowing up China as its top priority, so the position in charge of it at the time was probably a matter of count.’
This ‘Black Dragon Secretary’ was written from the moment the Black Dragon Master returned to Earth, and has continued to be edited and improved until recently, over 20 years ago.
This is proof that he did not neglect his martial arts research even after he obtained the privilege of “reverse heaven” after endless search, and even though he used it to escape the Buncheonhoe and completely hide his existence.
‘It’s not just a description of martial arts in a few dimensions. It is a kind of research diary that organizes everything from what thoughts he had and what efforts he made to reach the new world, to what he thought was necessary to reach the new world. At this level, it makes me even more curious as to how I was able to obtain so much information while avoiding the Buncheonhoe.’
I only vaguely listened to it.
How he interacted and shared knowledge with masters who returned from various martial world levels.
If the Black Dragon Master felt that there was something new, he didn’t care even if the level of the opponent who possessed it was far lower.
And he did whatever it took to get it.
Even if the opponent asked for enormous wealth, dangerous requests, or some of the military knowledge he had accumulated, he accepted most of them, and was even willing to use hard-line measures such as the use of force against those he did not understand.
‘In the process, we steadily recruited talented people into the Black Dragon Association. Moreover, as he was still thirsty for growth, it was inevitable that he would always be greedy for new martial arts knowledge.’
No matter how great he was, he could not overcome the long history that had been going on for hundreds or thousands of years by himself.
In the martial arts world, martial arts is the pinnacle of mystical science that has been passed down for a long time and has been continuously developed by numerous geniuses.
What he did was to tweak and weave those brilliant legacies to make them useful to him, but he never created something completely new from scratch.
‘Of course, that alone would be enough to call him a Grand Master.’
Naturally, the results of his research were not knowledge that anyone could fully accept.
Except for the early stages, most research results were designed based on the premise of the existence of a “reverse heaven” that twists providence.
As principles with subtly different characteristics are intricately intertwined, if an ordinary warrior were to follow them exactly, he would fall into the magic of coinage and become a ruined person.
‘If it weren’t for me.’
He smiled and slowly got up from his seat.
I felt a stiff pain all over my body, but I didn’t care.
If the Black Dragon Lord has a “Reverse Heavenly Ruler” that can twist the providence of the world.
Because I had a “savior” who ignored all the restrictions of this dimension.
Ugh—
The inner energy that was running wild inside my body gradually became stable.
Along with that, some of the martial principles that did not fit the principles of this world and the Kang Hwan world slowly began to take root in his body.
‘It’s not finished yet, so it’s lacking a lot…’
Once I found the path and method to move forward, it was only a matter of time.
After taking a deep breath, he opened the door and took a big step outside.
‘Now that I can see the wall, all that’s left is to get over it.’
The dazzling sunlight penetrated his eyelids.
I had been meditating since early morning, and before I knew it, the sun had risen to mid-sky and was scattering bright light on the world.
Unlike before, when there was a gloomy atmosphere all year round, the sky was so clear and blue that there was not a single cloud.
“ah! Brother! “Are you out?”
At that time, Namgung Soran, who was squatting in the yard in front of the door, turned his head and smiled brightly.
He held the long stem of a foxtail plant in his hand and shook it gently.
While she was looking away for a moment.
-Nyaaang!
-Nah!
“ah! Caught.”
The two small animals that were crouching in front of him, looking at the tip of the swaying grass, flew out like lightning and snatched it up.
Then, he chewed the grass with his small mouth eagerly, chuckling happily as if he was proud of winning the match.
Animals that look like ordinary kittens at first glance.
But it was never just cats.
Isn’t it possible that an ordinary cat’s entire body is made up of flames or shadows?
“Did you rest comfortably too?”
“Hey, there you go again. Speak comfortably, brother. “I’m younger too.”
“hahahahaha, let’s change that gradually. But what about Jegal Sojeo…?”
“My sister went out earlier to say she had something to ask the monks. “You were very excited?”
“Ah, of course. “This place, like the Zhuge Dynasty, was a place called the two great mountain ranges of martial arts.”
Nangong Soran threw aside the foxtail plant that had completely turned into ashes, took out a new plant, and gently shook it again.
The two youkai cats stand up again and take a hunting stance.
Of course, the cats weren’t the only monsters that existed here.
“Anyway, this place is really… The words “a paradise” come out naturally. “To say it’s like something out of a fairy tale would be an understatement.”
Namgung Soran clicked his tongue and looked around.
I could see at a glance various monsters walking freely beyond the guest area where they were staying.
A variety of beings were walking around, noisily chatting to their hearts’ content, ranging from beast dolls with the heads of beasts and the torsos of humans, to strange beings that did not even have the slightest trace of human appearance.
“Well, this place is like an entrance to the outside or a buffer zone for them. For those who have not yet had any outside experience, it would be better to start getting to know the world step by step from here.”
This is the Mosan School located in Jiangsu Province in the eastern part of the continent.
It was the first target on this expedition, and it was the home of monsters that began to appear in the world in earnest after the final war with the Demonic Cult.
“Ha, a youkai. “I haven’t even imagined it since I was young, but it’s kind of amazing.”
“You know, you have to be careful when you’re with them. “If friction were to arise at a time like this, the peace we had finally regained could be shaken.”
“Sure! “I was just a little concerned, don’t worry.”
Of course, a few mistakes won’t matter much.
Since the group was able to be treated as guests thanks to the reputation of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Association gained through their performance in the war, there is no doubt that they also have goodwill towards this group.
‘Still, it would be better to reduce hostility as much as possible. ‘When I think about the goal that brought me here.’
Ha Seung-hoon of the Heavenly Dragon Swords Association’s journey to Gangho was a journey that began for two major purposes.
First, stabilize the world by eliminating impure elements that do not recognize that the world has changed and still cause chaos.
And the second thing was to develop my own skills and find the clues necessary to overcome the barriers of the current world…
The visit to Mosanpa was related to the second goal.
‘The martial arts of the monsters that I encountered through Mokin-gwang a while ago. ‘It might help us overcome the walls of the police.’
Of course, I have now acquired an unexpected guidebook called Black Dragon Secretary, but originally, the more possibilities, the better.
That way, not only will you be able to choose which of several methods is better, but you will also be able to combine the strengths of both to bring about better results.
‘I am a hero whose name is well-known even on Geumo Island, so if you ask me for a friendly sparring in the name of exchange…’
But things did not go as he wanted.
One of the people running at high speed from the other side collapsed in front of him.
A woman with a pale face and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
He was one of the secret warriors who served as Zhuge Hyemi’s bodyguard.
“Great… great cooperation! We’re in big trouble! The lady…!”
To be more precise.
It was overlooked for a moment that the problem causing the problem was not just on one side.
***
It is well over 5 meters tall, has a body like a tiger standing on two legs, a long tail, sharp teeth that are clearly exposed due to the absence of lips, a pair of molars like a wild boar sticking out between them, and eye lights filled with a blazing ghostly fire.
“Dool! He is a guest of the Mosan Sect! If you do this… wow!”
“Crrr—shut up! How dare you be so arrogant and criticize me!”
Dool, a being that exudes an enormous intimidation befitting its ferocious appearance, lightly waved his hand and blew away the last remaining Taoist warrior, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He grabbed Zhuge Hye-mi, who was looking up at him stiffly, with his large hand.
‘You were lucky! I never thought I would see a dragon child in a place like this! And the one with the highest rank among them all!’
Dool.
He was once a great monster of the anti-Geumo Island faction, but he was a remnant of a defeated soldier who lost his brothers, who were also called the ‘Four Evils’ due to the promotion of the Demonic Cult, and fled under the shadow of Geumo Island.
Of course, no matter how much he was in such a situation, there were not many people who could treat him carelessly as he was a great monster.
As Geumodo also suffered great damage from the war, the addition of such a large force was rather welcome.
As expected, he was building his own position by performing quite well against the Demonic Cult.
But that’s just a story until peace comes.
After the final war, Dool was literally reduced to a useless nuisance.
With his inclination to stand at the edge of evil, he was nothing more or less than a being who frequently caused trouble in times of peace.
Fortunately, in the era of chaos, the use of force was clear enough to bear the side effects, and there was no need to stress out due to frustration, but now he was just a troublemaker who did nothing to help and only caused problems at every turn.
To the extent that Geumodo’s leadership seriously considered whether he should not be left alone like this and whether he should at least be sealed.
And even in times of trouble, there was no way that Do-ol, who had survived until now with his ghost-like insight, would not have noticed such a trend.
‘Do you think I’ll be easy on you!’
But no matter how much I thought about it, it seemed difficult to escape on my own.
It is said that he has the power to crush even a decent expert in the field, but he has no business in front of a sidekick.
In such a situation, it was a great opportunity for him to meet the Dragon Child, an apostle of the Dragon God and an axis of world salvation.
‘It can certainly be said that the dragon child is the key to saving this world. ‘If you burnt a creature that has done such great karma!’
So, it was no wonder that the flow of thought was the same as that of the demonic cultists.
Do-ol, who had the same look in his eyes as the people he had been killing countless times, grabbed Jegal Hye-mi with his large hands and threw himself away.
Part of me wanted to eat it up right then and there, but in order to be fully conscious, it was necessary to follow some procedures, even if only briefly.
“Crukkruk—! With this, I am free! “You’re going to have to chase after me for the rest of your life!”
As a great youkai, he ran through the forest at an incredible speed befitting his size.
And yet, like a good hunter, he left no traces along the way.
It’s like Biho silently approaching and biting off the victim’s leash.
‘I hope I catch at least one dragon at this point. To get rid of the humiliation I’ve suffered, I have to pay back to those guys…’
Was it because he was so full of pride?
Hiss—
He was only a beat late in noticing the black shadow approaching him.
‘Hoo? quite!’
Of course, that wasn’t a big problem.
There was such a wide gap between him and the attacker that even when he was one breath behind, he was several moves ahead.
Paaat—!
The problem is that split second.
It was a golden flash that exploded from the grasp that was holding the dragon child, as if it had been planned in advance.
As if he had assimilated into the shadow of the forest, he tore apart the female dragon that rushed at him like a snake without any sign, and at the same time, he felt a sense of emptiness in the hand that was tightly holding the woman.
“uh?”
Dool looked down at his empty hands for a moment.
And I slowly looked around.
No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it.
As if it had evaporated on the spot.
“dare!”
However, he is a great youkai who has reached the realm of transcendence.
The senses that expanded to cover the entire forest in an instant caught the sacrifice that was quickly moving away.
Along with the presence of the guy who had made a sneak attack on him just now and diverted his mind elsewhere.
[Khuuu——!]
A roar filled with anger created a storm and an earthquake occurred throughout the mountain.
If this happens, moving secretly is a failure.
All that remains is to finish the job as quickly as possible and leave before the spirits who can deal with him are dispatched from Geumo Island.
The moment after I made that decision.
Kwaaang—!
Everything in a straight line with the target was destroyed in an instant due to the movement of the 5-meter giant moving at supersonic speed.
***
‘Ah, why does it take a cooldown at times like this?’
Ha Seung-hoon, who was running with Jegal Hye-mi in his arms, frowned.
Who would have thought something like this would happen while I was in the Mosan sect, which I thought was safe?
He was running away quickly, but he stopped, turned around, and pulled out his sword.
It was pointless to run away any longer.
Quaaang!
[I’ll kill you! Bug-like guys!]
Before I knew it, the monster that had cut a large highway through the forest was coming up behind me and stretching out its hand.
