The Nature of Possession

50 – EP.3 Dokma Jegalhwi-4

***

At the same time as the commander-in-chief’s words were finished, plum blossoms came out on both sides and flew up into the sky wearing lotus flowers.

“Oops!”

“Aww!”

Yeon-hwa and I screamed at the sudden rise.

“I’m sorry. Sophomore, for safety’s sake, I unavoidably touched the body.”

Said Maehwa as she cut through the cold wind.

“What’s going on now?”

A bitter wind brushed my ears, and my voice sounded faint.

“It looks like someone broke into the church.”

Maehwa turned her head and looked back, then spoke to me.

“Is there someone who can attack Heukcheongyo?”

“I don’t know. Most of the Moorim forces must have been destroyed by the leader. The elite of the political faction may have come.”

– Why is the commander-in-chief’s kimunjin that has never been pierced?

Maehwa muttered softly, probably thinking that I would be embarrassed, but her feelings of embarrassment were clearly conveyed to me.

“Why isn’t the commander-in-chief following me?”

“The Commander-in-Chief will be following soon. We are buying time to prevent the enemy from encroaching.”

You should be safe. Can a weak person really stop people?

worry precedes

Maehwa flew like that and returned to Heukcheon Bridge.

As they crossed the fence of Heukcheongyo Bridge, Maehwa shouted, and all the people remaining in Heukcheongyo Bridge brought their weapons and lined up.

I thought they were church members just doing chores, but it seemed like everyone was doing one strand at a time.

After passing them in groups, each holding their designated position, Maehwa guided me to the palace of Jeje.

“You can stay here.”

When I passed my bedroom and reached the end of the hallway, Maehwa cleared the cloth from the floor and opened the door.

– Kiki

Secret door leading down.

Maehwa handed the lantern to Yeonhwa and said.

“You have to protect the young master. Did you understand?”

“Yes! I will protect the young master no matter what.”

In the sudden situation, Yeon-hwa trembled and repeated it as if she had promised herself.

I was ashamed of this situation of being protected by a child for a long time.

“Schoolmaster, no matter what happens, you must never come out.”

The door closed, and we proceeded slowly, lighting the surroundings with lanterns.

After passing through a short passage, a suitable-sized cavity came out.

In modern terms, it feels like a small basement.

There was a variety of furniture, but this was the impression I felt as soon as I entered the room.

“It’s a shelter.”

“yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

Shelter placed to shelter the factor. Perhaps we should stay here until things are sorted out.

“Do not worry too much, Sogyo Master. The members of the Black Heavenly Church are all ignorant.”

Other than that, it was Yeonhwa who said she would reassure me.

It was very commendable that he cared for me even though his legs were trembling and he himself would be very scared.

“Yeah, I’m relieved.”

I sat down on the chair while stroking Yeonhwa’s hair.

Please, I hope it ends without anyone getting hurt.

After Maehwa took Sogyoju and Yeonhwa and left, Jegalhwi, the commander-in-chief, stood quietly in his seat and listened to the sounds coming from the mountain.

– With my daughter

– With my daughter

I heard a bell ringing in the distance.

The sound of the bell grew louder. The commander-in-chief sensed the subtle difference.

I’d rather have been a lost herbalist. It was a vain wind.

“There have been many attacks, but this is the first time I’ve been through.”

Taking a dagger out of his pocket, the commander put the knife in his palm.

– Kuwook

Along with a terrifying sensation, the palm was deeply cut, and blood gushed out.

As I turned my palm down, blood dripped to the ground.

With each drop of blood falling, the surrounding vegetation withered and a purple mist formed.

“All of Kimunjin have been broken through.”

When the bell didn’t ring, the commander raised his energy in the danjeon.

Through the bushes, someone slammed a sword into the commander’s head.

The gunman spilled it with a smooth movement, and grasped the attacker’s throat with his hand.

“Ouch!”

The strangling shock caused the intruder to struggle, but the gunman’s claws dug in faster than that.

In the blink of an eye, the face of the intruder caught in his hand turned blue and foam spewed out of his mouth before dying.

“Now…nineteen. No, twenty.”

21 intruders.

The one who appears to be at the beginning of the climax is nineteen.

and.

“Isn’t he coming?”

There is one person who dare not judge his skill.

The commander-in-chief swallowed.

“I’m glad you’re not coming right away, but…”

The commander-in-chief, who had let go of another ambush and put his arm in the stomach, said worriedly.

The commander-in-chief carefully examined the clothes of the person he had defeated.

“Blue Dragon Daera… is it ignoring religion or is there another target…”

An armed group of the Murim League. It’s a bit inferior to the White Tigers, but it’s an organization that’s recognized for its strength.

At least if he was going to attack Heukcheongyo, he would have to bring in not only the Baekhodae but also the family heads of the remaining prestigious families in order to inflict scratches, so why are they attacking so recklessly?

“Couldn’t it… have noticed the teacher’s absence?”

Then it made sense to attack this side weakly.

Unfortunately, even without the Heavenly Demon, Heukcheongyo is not a weak place that can be easily penetrated.

The commander-in-chief turned and ran to Heukcheon Bridge.

I’ve already poisoned two people. The latecomers following will be bound by the poisonous mist created by the poison reacted with the corpse’s blood.

It will be a short time buy, but if you join the prepared troops and defend, you will be able to block enough.

However, there is only one thing that bothers me.

It was because of a certain person who led the twenty blue dragons.

‘Whatever it is, stop the enemy. That is my duty.’

Erasing the sense of defeat that raised his head, the general returned to Heukcheongyo.

The church members who had already gathered holding arms greeted him.

“Are you here?”

The head of security prostrated himself.

“Okay, are you ready?”

“Yes. Each group is blocking all doors. The gatekeepers prepared by the commander-in-chief are also operating.”

“Originally, they would have believed in the effect of the Kimunjin and intercepted the enemy, but this time, imagine that there is no Kimunjin. Since they have already broken through the Kimunjin in the mountain, this place will not be any different.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“There are 18 people who enter the climax. And there is one person who leads them.”

“I’ll pass it on to each group. May I ask what level one person is?”

“…It was an unfathomable level. He must be a master of Jae-Ya, who was hidden in the Moorim League.”

“Is that so.”

“I don’t know exactly, but…”

As if he didn’t want to admit it, the commander-in-chief wrinkled his brow and said.

“The level is similar to that of the headmaster.”
