Chapter 129 – Episode 129 Baek Cheong-Ha, the Granddaughter of the Eroded Sword Castle (6)

That’s right.

As the paintings on the walls of the temple shimmered, the entire temple began to vibrate.

I looked at the ceiling of that dungeon.

The constellation from which Chungha noona appeared, no, the eyes of the observer started to disappear.

‘Did I lose my power?’

No.
The aura of anger I felt inside was as strong as when I first appraised it.

It seemed that he was forced to withdraw under the constraints of something.
At least it seemed that way to me.

‘Who the hell are you.’

Glaring at the pattern of the disappearing watcher, I asked inwardly.
I knew it was a question that had no answer.
I was curious nonetheless.

-■■■ ■■■■ ■■ ■■■■.

A strange voice was heard.

“Old man, can you hear this sound?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. Come on. If we continue like this, the dungeon will collapse.”

A voice that only I can hear.

I instinctively recognized that the sound belonged to the observer.
I can’t hear what you’re saying

-You will regret taking away a devotee dedicated to me.

It sounded again, and this time it sounded right.

It was a warning message.
A message of warning to me for taking my follower, Chungha noona.
He must be saying that he will take Chungha noona back someday.
Like the picture on the wall, she must have been offered as a sacrifice to the watchers.

‘Good night.’

I raised my middle finger to the ceiling where the eyes of the observer were drawn.

-■■! ■ ■■■!

A voice filled with anger was heard.
However, as I heard at the beginning, it was a voice with noise that the words themselves could not be deciphered.

Thud! Kugoong!

The ceiling collapsed, and marble fell beside us as we fled.

“Dungeons collapsing on their own… Does that mean that Chungha was the boss of this dungeon…”

The swordsman running away from the collapsing dungeon said while watching Cheongha noona silently run next to us.

“I think this dungeon was made for Chungha noona.”
“Amazing. This is the first time. So far, many hunters have been eroded by the dungeon…”
“Let’s talk about the details after running away from here.”
“Good.”

Even in the midst of this, a huge block of marble fell beside us.
As if someone dropped it on purpose.

‘He’s bothering me.’

Cheongha noona, who was running next to me, looked back at the collapsing dungeon.
Her expression was completely unreadable due to the mask covering most of her face and her unfocused eyes.

What is she thinking as she sees the temple she cared for collapsed.

We’ll find out later when she comes to her senses.
Following the maze-like path of the temple, we were able to find a portal connected to the outside before the dungeon collapsed.

Whoops!

Just escaped from the dungeon.

“… It disappears.”

As soon as the three of us came out of the dungeon, the portal to the dungeon started to disappear.

“Ryu Hyun-ah…”

Geomseong watched the disappearing portal and called the names of several disciples, including Ryuhyeon Yeom, who died inside the portal.
As if honoring the souls of those who could never return from the dungeon and hold a funeral, the swordsman lightly bowed.
Her sadness at losing them seemed as great as her joy at finding her granddaughter.

In the meantime, Chungha noona came out of the dungeon and took off her mask.
No, to be precise, the mask seeped into her body suit.
Her bare face was exposed.
It was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
Her fairer skin than before her disappearance stood out even more against the black body suit.

“Siw…”

She looked at me and said
Is it a side effect of dungeon erosion for a long time?
She seemed to have lost much of her language skills for conversation.

“Sister, can you understand me?”
“Siw…”

She seemed to have almost forgotten Korean, and most of the conversation she could communicate was short, at the level of words.

Coming out of the dungeon, she clung to me and didn’t think of falling.
Like a puppy, she stuck next to me and called my name over and over again.

“I seem to remember you especially.”

The swordsman said while holding her shoulder as she struggled to stop the bleeding from her wound.

“Senior, are you okay?”

His face was pale.
It was an urgent situation, so I didn’t have the spirit to take care of his body.
It was a wound that wouldn’t be strange even if he collapsed right away.

“It’s okay. We sent a request for help to the hospital affiliated with the Twilight Guild, so the rescue team will come soon.”

Geomseong, who was sitting with his back leaning against a tree, looked at Cheongha noona and let out a sigh at her.

“I’m glad I could see it like this even though it was eroded.”

Geomseong’s eyes as he looked at Cheongha contained countless emotions.
Sorry, thankfulness, joy and sorrow.
The disciples who saved Cheongha, but lost that much.
Did he think that his disciples betrayed him because of his clumsiness?

I even felt guilty.

“I think I need treatment right away. The wound is getting wider.”
“It’s okay. It’s because your internal energy is lacking, so if you rest a little, you’ll get better.”

The sweat on his face grew more and more.
Chungha, who was staring at him, knelt down on one knee in front of the Sword Saint.

“Please…”

She stretched out her hand toward the Sword Master’s wound, and her bodysuit crawled toward the Sword Master’s wound.

“What is this…”
“… Tooth… Ryo.”

Are you going to treat it?

With the body suit wrapped around his shoulders, the expression of the swordsman became much more comfortable than at first.

“Are you okay?”
“It seems to be getting a little better. I can feel the torn muscles connecting little by little.”
“Looks like you’re really trying to heal.”
“This is better than most first responders.”

Chungha noona looked at me after finishing her treatment with the swordsman.

“… Good?”

It seemed to ask if I did well.

“Sister, well done. It was good.”

She nodded her head.

After completing simple first aid, we put the equipment we used in the dungeon into a vacuum pack.

“How do you plan to report to Daesung?”
“I couldn’t figure out the cause, so I hunted the boss, and it should be said that I solved it quickly.”
“How are you going to deal with Yeom Ryu Hyun and the infiltrators?”
“… It must be an issue that cannot be dealt with right now.”

The swordsman gritted his teeth.

“Since we’ve already processed all the evidence, Daesung must have moved like that. And in my current state, I have no means of resisting, even if I were to argue.”
“You’re looking at it from time to time.”
“Okay. But…”

The swordsman gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

“As soon as it becomes clear that Yeomryu-hyeon abandoned Cheongha in the dungeon because of Daesung’s fault, he can no longer cooperate with them. Rather, it is safe to view them as enemies.”

Anger was on his face.
Anger was boiling over that he had seduced his pupil to dare to make his granddaughter like this.

“Siw.”
“Yes, old man.”
“Didn’t you say you would hit Daesung? I will take revenge on Daesung who was framed.”
“That’s right.”
“Then I will help. Although the entire Twilight may not be able to move, I will join you in destroying and destroying the Great Wall.”
“Are you all right?”
“Are you okay? Of course. Aren’t they the ones who dared to do this to my granddaughter? I found my granddaughter, and there are no shackles to bind them…”

The Sword Saint looked at me and continued.

“I must use my strength to avenge my disciple.”
“Did you say disciple?”
“Okay. Aren’t you also a disciple who learned the Cheonryu sword technique from me? And also the benefactor who saved my granddaughter. Of course, there is still a long way to go…”

Geomseong said while looking at Chungha wearing a bodysuit.

“How can I get Cheongha back to normal?”
“I’m going to try to find a way to do that once I get home.”
“Is there any other way?”
“I don’t know yet. I’ll have to go home and check her condition and watch her progress. So that’s it. Old man.”
“What is it?”
“First of all, we are going to have Chungha noona stay at our house for a few days. Are you okay?”
“Isn’t there a way? You made Cheongha, who was hostile to us, become friendly, and she doesn’t even think about separating from you…”

The Sword Saint grinned at me.

“I will leave everything to you.”
“Thank you. Old man.”
“Then hurry up and leave before the emergency services arrive. You shouldn’t be exposed right now, and if someone else sees Chungha, there will be an uproar.”
“All right.”

Cheongha noona retrieved the bodysuit that covered the swordswoman’s shoulders again.
It wasn’t cured, but all of her torn muscles and skin took over.
Now even if you don’t point blood, there won’t be any bleeding.

After confirming that the Sword Saint’s wounds had healed, I hurriedly got into the car.

“Chungha noona, hurry up and get on.”
“… Siu.”

I threw the change of clothes I had in the car over her shoulders.
If I went into town like this, the bodysuit she was wearing would definitely draw her attention.
Due to the difference in her size, my coat covered her thighs.

“Senior, I will see you separately soon.”
“Okay. Go carefully. And… Thank you.”

Baek Mu-seon, an old man, not the Sword Saint, spoke to me.
Honest and sincere thanks.
He looked at Chungha and continued talking.

“Chungha, grandpa will visit you soon.”

Chungha noona met her eyes with such a sword and sat quietly in her passenger seat.

I took Chungha noona and went back to her house.
Later, I heard that Geomseong had safely arrived at the emergency room.

***

“It is said that all of Twilight’s Yeomryuhyeon and his 12 disciples died in the dungeon.”

Shin Seo-ah asked, looking at Daesung’s guild member reporting while kneeling in front of her.

“What happened to the sword castle?”
She said, “She was taken to the emergency room with substantial injuries.”
“Is she dead?”
“She said she passed her hump.”
“It is strange. That person should have died there.”

However, Shin Seo-ah, who soon erased her expression, smiled at her and she approached the guild member.
Daesung’s second-in-command and closest aide to managing director Choi Woo-seok.
Originally, he was a man who should have gone to Choi Woo-suk and reported her, not her.
However, as if possessed by something, he was blowing the information he needed to convey to Shin Seo-ah in front of him.

“What did the swordsman report about the dungeon?”
She “Was told that she had met a mysterious boss and that all of her disciples had died trying to eliminate him.”
“It is a lie. She would have met her own granddaughter, and she would have killed them all.”
“… Sorry. I haven’t figured it out that far.”
“That’s Okay. No wonder you don’t know. Only a few really important people will know that.”

The man bowed his head.
Shin Seo-ah looked at the man and asked.

“The swordsman is also a great person. He did something to protect the honor of a traitor.”

She recalled her memories of the first time she met her salt liuhyun.

-Nice to meet you. Twilight Salt Stream. You are very beautiful.

At that time, Siwoo Kim, who was a shadow mask, was with him.
He was a man full of affection.
But the problem was that it was too much.

– Why don’t you confess to Chungha?
-Haha, you are too high for me. I’m just Master’s disciple.
-Are you aiming for the twilight seat?
– It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t greedy.
– But you can’t have it. In the end, that person’s granddaughter would take it all. So confess. You will accept it. Because you are pretty handsome

She planted a thought in Yeom Ryu-hyeon’s head, and he confessed to Baek Cheong-ha after hearing the words.
And it was heavily blacked out.
The thoughts, anger, and love and hatred so planted.

That feeling gradually built up in him.
When the feeling of wealth that had been submerged gradually rose and reached a critical point.
She pushed her back against the will of Yeom Ryu-hyeon, who was standing at the edge of the cliff.

-If you can’t have it, break it. Then the shard will be yours.

And he’s broken
He was the one who did what he shouldn’t have done, offering his master’s granddaughter as a sacrifice to the dungeon.
He was quite a talented person.

“Woo-seok must be sorry. He was a good person.”

If Yeomryuhyun had killed the swordsman, the entire Twilight Guild would have been able to come under the control of Daesung, but it was a pity.
Now the swordsman will guess.
The spy planted by Daesung.

“Are there any other reports from the dungeon? I met a strange monster, or there was an unknown temple.”
“I received a report that the temple was found. There he killed what appeared to be a Guardian.”
“Killed?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fun. Killed… There’s no way that would be possible…”

Something was strange.
Originally, according to her thoughts, the Sword Saint, who should have been dead, survived, and the guardian of the temple, who should have been alive, died.
Yeom Liu-hyeon dies, which was what she intended in the first place.

‘Where did I go wrong?’

She brushed her chin, lost in her thoughts.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been like this.

‘That man was like that too.’

Siwoo Kim.
He was the only man who didn’t move the way she intended.
Originally, the man who should have become the hero of River Gate instead of her, pushing away Daesung Choi Woo-seok and becoming a powerful hunter by now.
A man who should have shone in front of her so that she could operate in her shadow until the end of the day.
One of the most powerful chess pieces she ever used.
He was also a person who could not easily control her abilities.

‘Could it be that person?’

That’s not going to happen.
The will of the shadow mask was completely broken, and he was a man who even lost his will due to the feeling of betrayal of the person he loved.
Park Hyun-moo reported that.

There was no way he had cheated on Daesung’s intelligence and went to the dungeon.

Unless someone helped.

“Aside from that, was there anything special about it?”
“As reported last time, it was said that an unknown outsider had intervened.”
“About him?”
“I don’t know anything. I didn’t even tell Twilight Bugilma.”
“Is that so…”

No way.
Wouldn’t it?

It can’t be.
Because the man is completely broken.

“Maybe we need to investigate.”

Currently, she cannot use Daesung’s intelligence department with her power.
He still had to hide in the shadows.

Not even a scout team.
If Kim Si-woo wasn’t actually broken, if the scout room was cheated.
They won’t be able to find out with their abilities.
Siwoo Kim was such an outstanding man.

He was the fastest-growing man in Korea even though he had no skills.
If only I had the skill…

‘Do I have to go there myself?’

The excuses were enough.
It won’t be bad.

“Do not report to Woo-seok about the inside of the dungeon. You won’t even hear it.”

The man knows nothing.
Why did Yeomryuhyun stick to Daesung?
Why did Yeom Ryu-hyeon sacrifice the daughter of Geomseong as directed by Choi Woo-seong?

As a manager, he didn’t know.

She kissed the guild member’s cheek as she knelt.
Then, the magic circle engraved in his eyes glowed and her command was entered.

“All right.”
“Go ahead. You have to go to work.”
“Yes…”

Complete submission.
It was a word that came out of his heart.

Shin Seo-ah, looking at his back, sent a text message to Choi Woo-seok.

-Would you like to put aside complicated work for a while and rest in a room together after a long time?

And soon a reply came from him.

-Go soon.

Men are stupid.
If you give me a little eye smile and say a few words in a soft voice, I’ll go over it.

‘Foolish. That’s why I end up being taken advantage of.’

She smiled and sat down in front of the dresser.

***

After bringing her sister Chung-ha to her house, I thought about what to do with her for a while.
She looked fine on the outside, but inside she was a mess to the point where even the mana gate was damaged.
She couldn’t even go to Hunter Specialist Hospital.
It’s impossible to talk about how the managate was destroyed.

Still, she couldn’t put her feelings aside.

‘Let’s treat internal injuries on our own as soon as possible.’

Then she will know her current condition as well.

I sat cross-legged.
In order to perform the Tenryu Shimbeop, a mana rotation method used in the Tenryu sword method.
I’ve been doing this for a long time too

Now, I have been trained to the point where I can spin mana without having to stand still.
But now it was clear that if I didn’t take an orderly posture, a runaway would happen.

I closed my eyes and focused on mana rotation.

“Heuk!”

Blood flowed back with excruciating pain.
Again, it was a precarious situation.

‘If I go on like this, I’ll run out of control.’

Writhing in endless pain, it was almost certain that the runaway mana would go into a state of mind-destroying magic.

Then I felt a soft touch on my back.

“Siw…”

Dark and poisonous demonic energy flowed from the hand connected to my back and calmed the flow of mana.
The fluctuating mana began to calm down.

Her whole body was tingling because of the demon that had infiltrated my body, but I didn’t feel any hostility toward that demon.

‘I’m controlling.’

So that Magi can draw mana without attacking my body.

At the same time, she guided my mana according to the description of the simbeop, as if she knew the cheonryu simbeop.
Her magic and my mana started to recover her gate bit by bit by going around the mana gate that was collapsing.

A whopping 6 hours.
She rebuilt her gate for 6 hours while sitting and pouring mana.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

Her whole body was covered in sweat and waste.
There was a smell that made my nose tingle.
It was a kind of debris created while rebuilding the Mana Gate.

However, it felt good.
With most of the broken mana gates being healed.

[I got a chance.]
[You have succeeded in the Great Heaven of Heavenly Spirit.]
[The mana grade has risen to S grade.]

Because the mana level went up by one level.

“Good… Ah?”

Chungha noona asked me when she opened her eyes.

“Good.”

Then she looked at me and smiled.

“Siw… Good.”

Those were the two words she said to me.
She decided to look at my older sister, Chungha, who was trying to communicate with me by my name.

She will become her teacher so that she can return to being a human again.
Like when I raised the grades of the kids who were taught by me.

A private tutor who will raise her inner human score.

“Sister, lie down here.”

I need to start feeling.
