Chapter 550 – A Park Filled With Ghostly Sounds -2-

“Tsk…”

Ichoa stepped inside her and swallowed her saliva as the slimy ghost energy clung to her skin.

My legs feel heavy due to the gloom that fills the air, but I somehow manage to move forward.

“!”

As I walked, a sight came into view as if I had crossed the border.

You can see a dark space with shabby thatched houses lined up in a row.

‘The scale is bigger than expected.’

Her intuition tells her that she is a ghost that she cannot do anything about.

‘This oppressive pressure…’

It was similar to the weight of the day when most of the Special Forces’ talented members died.

Sapung black tiger hunting was carried out in Gangwon-do during the Busasu era, when it felt like a miracle to be alive every day.

Even if I can’t do this, I have a feeling that it will be the same or even bigger than that incident.

A future is depicted in which death will be rampant even if the entire special department is fully prepared and tries to erase this place.

Kugugu──!!!

A space that resonates once again.

The naughty energy is greatly reduced and the pressure is relaxed.

Lee Cho-ah’s gloomy thoughts were cut off.

For a moment, she thought it was fortunate, and then she calmly pictured the situation.

‘Who on earth is it?’

Who is hunting ghosts here?

If you are a member of the special task force, the rule is to observe this level of energy while waiting for support and then join in and move.

The moment you step in from the outside and cross the border, you should have stopped the rush.

Attacking a ghost with such enormous magical energy alone is like begging to be killed.

‘Then surely…’

A glimpse of possibility that comes to mind.

Move your feet steadily and build a family.

The most likely prediction is that the person inside may not be a member of the Special Task Force.

The moment a hypothesis came to Lee Cho-ah’s mind as she took her steps while holding her breath, the two women she had suddenly encountered flashed in her imagination.

The blonde beauty who shattered Hwang Dong-hyeon’s wrist with sheer grip strength, and the innocent Ga-in who healed his shattered bones in an instant.

Wouldn’t it be possible for them?

‘···Focus first.’

A hypothesis is a hypothesis.

In order to check whether the situation you pictured in your head is true, you must first be healthy.

Jeez. Jeez. Jeopuk.

A change from the road where thatched-roof houses were lined up.

There is something ahead.

Lee Choa quickly hid behind the wall. She blends in with the silence and sticks out her head.

There is a lot of something lying on the ground.

As I focus on the mystery in her eyes, I can clearly see her outline.

‘People…?’

This is not a sign of a ghost.

There are dozens of people lying down there.

It may be a trap, or it may be something that a ghost has gathered for food.

In order to understand the situation, Lee Choa has no choice but to approach.

Sigh.

Raise your alertness to the maximum and move as secretly as possible.

As I get closer, I can hear people lying down crying.

“Ugh, uh…”

“Wow…”

When I approached and checked, they were all unconscious.

No one died.

‘There are no wounds.’

It’s a happy miracle, but what makes us postpone inferences about the situation is their outfit.

Lee Cho-ah’s eyes narrowed.

‘This…?’

Silk clothes that are difficult to find anywhere. A hat and clogs with holes in them.

Above all, I can hold it in my hand even when I lose my mind. It’s definitely a sword.

The blade was bent and melted like a piece of taffy, leaving only the handle, but it was definitely a sword.

There are two types of swords they own.

A iris sword without a nose to protect the hand.

A bamboo long sword that was disguised as a staff and used as a concealed weapon.

We can know this because we conducted continuous research.

This is a criminal organization that existed during the Joseon Dynasty. These are the clothes and swords that Geomgye used.

‘The sword is missing.’

When I looked around at the shape of the handle, I couldn’t see the lost magic sword.

Lee Cho-ah left a text on the dirt floor that the special unit could interpret and headed further in.

*****

“Oh.”

It was interesting.

The form of power built by ghosts is something that cannot be seen from the other side. The more I interpreted it, the more unique it became.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t something that would give a clue or help in Roman’s growth.

The precarious balance achieved by abandoning the system and relying solely on instinct is fun to watch.

– Intruder…!

Sreung!

Also, people who lost their taste appeared.

Roman moved mana.

“Oh, it’s an intruder.”

Good luck!

I cleared the way by burning the swords of those blocking my way one by one with white flame.

The tile-roofed house we encountered at the end of this space.

In a space filled with thatched roofs, there is only one house made of tiles.

It is unique and not shabby. It’s the only decent house in this space.

“Come here.”

Kwaang──!

After kicking the huge door and smashing it, Roman entered the yard.

Shady floor.

I looked at the person standing holding the sword.

“What, are you a nobleman ghost?”

Starting from the shape of the house and the color of the silk clothes, they were different.

Roman showed genuine doubt.

“I once served as a guard villa. Even in my prime, I was chased by the merchant and lived in hiding in my old age.”

Gakwae (家儈) is the current real estate agent.

It wasn’t information I was curious about, and I had no intention of listening to the ghost’s complaints.

“Everything I encountered on the way was muttering, pyocheolju, pyocheolju.”

“That’s right. I am Pyo Cheolju, the head of the sword world. It’s not my real name, it’s my nickname.”

There are messy black marks on the skin that cannot be covered by silk clothes.

The same goes for the face hidden in the dark.

Roman can see it. There are messy knife marks.

Funny enough, there are no injuries caused by objects other than blades.

They all have thin, jagged lines.

Roman read the flow just like before and clicked his tongue with an annoyed look on his face.

‘I can’t save this.’

The level of the sword is different from the ones blocking it in front.

A stage that goes beyond taking root and even transforms the body.

It was a state similar to a human being turned into a devil.

Let Roman’s hand make a tapping sound, sending a hint of violence.

Pyo Cheol-ju calmed his hand that was about to go up to the sword and calmly opened his mouth.

“A ruthless guest who can’t resist is pushing in. Shouldn’t I be praised for not running away and hiding?”

“Is it possible to run away?”

“It might be impossible. Still, I hope you appreciate the fact that I didn’t even try.”

I feel like I’m wasting time trying to do something.

Roman’s eyes move away from Pyo Cheol-ju and head toward the room.

Pyo Cheol-ju continued to grease his tongue as Roman looked at the items piled up behind the door.

“If there is anything you are looking for in my collection of stolen goods, I will get down on my knees and offer it to you with both hands.”

“···.”

“Maybe it was my previous life, but the unique energy that resided in the jewelry was just perfect for increasing my strength. In fact, this Pyo Cheol-ju ate up the dirty energy that accumulated in the article. This is good for a sister and good for a brother-in-law.”

Even before the words are finished.

Roman’s new type appeared in front of Pyocheolju without a sound.

Too fast to react.

Before his expression even changed, let alone his gesture to counterattack, his fist moved.

Crispy!

Pyo Cheol-ju’s head was shattered by pure physical force.

His headless body fell to his knees and became limp.

“It’s boring.”

At the same time Roman said he was pathetic and turned around.

Peeing!

Baleom while sitting.

The body of Pyo Cheol-ju, who lost his head, pulls out his sword and swings it.

‘I thought it would be like this.’

Because that sword is the main body in the first place.

I thought I would wait a few more seconds or just pretend to be dead.

This was a very obvious development.

‘A poor guy.’

I caught the sword flying in a trajectory with my claw hand.

At the same time, it feels like Pyo Cheol-ju’s body has stiffened with embarrassment.

Qarring──!!!

Dark red thunderstruck the tiled house.

··

··

Roman walked out of the tile house that had collapsed.

In one hand, he was holding the magic sword that Pyo Cheol-ju was holding.

‘It took too much force. It was too much.’

When I looked up, there was a hole in the area itself.

Perhaps if this space collapses, all the fallen humans will pour into that park.

Whilick! Widely! Whilick! Tak!

Roman, who was throwing the magic sword into the sky and catching it, moves his gaze.

“So.”

My eyes turn towards the door I came in from.

There is a person stuck to the wall.

“Who is there?”

In terms of energy, it was different from those eaten by the sword.

So Roman once again raised his voice.

“If you don’t show up, I’ll think you’re an enemy.”

“Now, please wait a moment…!”

Seeing the person who appeared with an urgent voice, Roman rubbed his chin.

Although he had short hair, there was no mistaking him as a male.

“Let me ask you again. Who are you?”

“This is Lee Cho-ah from the Special Forces Department.”

“Special Forces Department? Ah… Special Forces Department!”

Isn’t this the group that Alice and Atra mentioned?

Could it be said that being here is actually an organization related to exorcism?

“T-Do you know the special department?!”

“Yes. I’ve heard of it.”

Did you feel a little relaxed?

The face of the woman who introduced herself as Ichoa softened a little.

But he still seems to have a lot to think about.

Roman felt transparent as his gaze moved briefly to the ring on his ring finger and then back.

“Are you by any chance… The one who came to retrieve that sword…?”

“You mean this?”

When Roman shows the iris sword, Lee Choa nods heavily.

“It’s not really like that. It was just there when I came.”

“Well, that sword is a dangerous object that possesses people! In the past, the head of a criminal group called Geomgye—.”

They are desperate to urgently release information and raise awareness of the dangers.

However.

Roman couldn’t concentrate on what that woman was saying.

‘···?’

A powerful beating that explodes within your arms.

In her image, she could clearly feel Rin, who had been quietly watching, letting out her fluctuating emotions.
