Chapter 1393 – [Journey to Eden]
After dealing with them, I told the Heavenly Demon about it.
It’s called Explosive Magic, so Magic is Magic. Perhaps the Heavenly Demon knows something, so I asked him about it.
“Explosive magic? That useless martial art……”
“Do you think you know?”
“Yes, it’s a martial art that I’ve seen on the record, so I used it often in the school in the past. It’s a magical technique that gains an enormous amount of power in an instant by exploding the latent power by adding to the innate keeper and internal air that I have.”
“I thought so. I don’t use Magi, but the format is why I’m a Magician, right?”
“Yes. However, it is a magic technique that is not used anymore in the school. It is because it is not very effective.”
“It looked like that”
During World War II, the Japanese military used a suicide bombing terror tactic called kamikaze. But if you think it’s efficient, I don’t want to come at all.
First of all, an aircraft to self-destruct, and a pilot to control the aircraft are needed, but even if it self-destructs like that, there was little result. Furthermore, pilots are high-quality personnel who spend a long time and money, but they just screwed it up with a single self-destruction.
As a result, it is a waste of resources. Explosive magic tricks look terrifying on the outside, but if you look closely, it’s nothing more than a fool’s martial art that only achieves short-term results by grinding people.
“Furthermore, Explosive Demonic Gong is a martial art that can only be used by first-class or higher warriors who are free to manage their own energy. At that point, it is a level where you can look at a peak master, so in the long run, it is no different than cutting off the buds of a peak master yourself.”
“Hmm……”
Not all first-class fighters become peak masters, but if you don’t develop your skills to first-class in the first place, you won’t be able to surpass peak masters. However, if you consume it with Explosive Magic at the middle stage, it is no different from preventing the peak master from appearing in the long run.
Moreover, if you look at it longer, it’s the same for transcendent masters and those. I think I know why the Demonic School doesn’t use this.
“It’s been a while since I stopped using Explosive Magic, but now I’m using it. I don’t think it’s a very good idea.”
“Looking at what they’re doing, you’ll get a rough answer. I think the next ambush will be done in a dirtier way, so let’s see.”
And as we expected, they were preparing for the next ambush.
Of course, I didn’t come openly once I was hit by the advance team. A more despicable and dirty method……. I have used such a method that touches even unrelated people.
It was around the time that I discovered a small town during my travels and decided to take a break. However, in the vicinity of the village, they secretly killed the presence and found the killers hiding.
“You have some hiding skills this time. You look like a professional shooter?
“It’s a familiar sign. It’s probably Salma Amga’s killer.”
“Did you say Salma was a traitor? That’s understandable.”
He’s trying to look normal, but he sees fear in the eyes of the villagers. At a glance, he seemed to know what he had done.
………Moreover, a slight smell of blood. I tried to erase it, but my senses can’t be fooled.
“Uh, welcome. Are you a Holy Beast Maiden?”
“Yes, by the way”
“Welcome, welcome!!!! Welcome to our village!!!! I heard the name of the Holy Beast Goddess through rumors!!! Come this way, there is an empty house, you can stay there!!!”
The village head made a welcome performance, but nevertheless showed a trembling expression.
Considering the faint smell of blood and their fear, they must have been threatened by the killers. It’s embarrassing to try to trick us, but who can say anything about a powerless Yang-Min doing it because he’s being blackmailed?
“Dad, Dad, and the village chief, the atmosphere in the village is strange. Is it an ambush again?”
“Yeah, they’ll probably poison the dish and then attack in the middle of the night. It’s obvious.”
“……Poisoning the rice?”
“Ah, thinking about it makes me angry. How dare you make me not eat anything?”
“Today, I have to be the cooking fairy. The cooking fairy will take revenge on the ingredients!!!!!!”
“Looking at how strangely serious they are about food, the two of them must be father and daughter.”
“Daehyeop and Priestess don’t look alike at all, but their personalities are very similar.”
For now, we pretended not to suspect on the outside and decided to do our activities here as well. Eden makes the essence of water and distributes it to the villagers.
In such a small village, there is no clinic, and at best, simple treatment by folk remedies or herbalists is the only way, so the essence of water showed a great response. However, on the other hand, I feel guilty even in their appearance.
“Go, thank you priestess. How could this be…”
“I’m glad you’re better”
“That, that… No, it’s nothing.”
After treating the villagers, we were treated to a separate meal. It is a mixture of mixed grains and various kinds of porridge.
Considering Eden’s amount of food, it was small and didn’t contain a lot of meat, but it was still enough to eat. Cooking, anyway. Considering what’s in there… Hmm.
“Th-I’m sorry to treat the priestess, but…”
“Ah, thank you. I’ll eat well!!!”
First of all, I can’t eat something poisonous in front of you, so I said I’d eat it separately and avoided the seat.
I sneakily eat a spoonful of the dish the village chief gave me. Even though the chowder itself is edible, as expected, the porridge feels foreign.
“This is roughly like acid poison and neurotoxin. If you eat it, you won’t be able to use your energy and you will be paralyzed and unable to move.”
“Can you eat it?”
“There’s no meaning in the first place. Poison doesn’t work on my body.”
It is difficult to find a poison that can work in the body of a rod, even in dimensional civilizations. At most, there is no guarantee that it will work apart from the degree of intangibility of the transcendental, or being counted as one of them.
Still, it’s not a lethal poison, so it can induce the opponent’s vigilance, and they are quite careful. However, it was a bad choice to force the villagers to cooperate with threats, perhaps because of pride as a Murim person.
“Dad, give me a second”
“Why? No matter how much Eden is, if you get poisoned here and eat it, you’ll have a problem.”
Although the blessings that Eden received are quite high, it is poisonous to think of their own way of being tax-free on the other side. The Heavenly Horse didn’t matter, but there was no guarantee that if Sangjin ate it, the neurotoxin would kill him and Eden would be fine.
“Even if the food is poisoned, I can’t throw away food.
“No, you’re a passionate man?!”
“And if it’s a poison problem, don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Eden continued to drink the porridge. I’m worried, but Eden tells me not to worry, so I watch.
After one shot of a bowl of porridge, Eden didn’t make a special expression. They say that in the usual Eden, even tasteless food is worth eating, so even though the reaction of eating even this kind of chowder would have been revealed, the expression was just expressionless.
“Also, this is not good”
“Did you use your abilities?”
“Because the inside of my mouth is also inside my body. As soon as it entered my mouth, it was absorbed with the conversion ability before it even touched my tongue.
“I don’t know why the metaphor is like that”
“But it doesn’t touch my tongue, so I didn’t have time to taste it, so it’s not good. It’s because I feel like I’m eating air.”
Since the subject of ability is oneself after all, it has the greatest influence on one’s own body. Even I am the only one who surrounds the force field with the interference ability, but I know this is a skill that is no different from my lifeline.
Even more, Eden’s conversion ability is done inside the body. Normally, it seemed to convert what he ate in his stomach, but this time he just converted and absorbed it as soon as he put it in his mouth.
…….My daughter, it seems she’s getting closer to Kirby. I don’t know if it’s like eating the opponent while babbling and absorbing that ability.
“That ability is power beyond common sense. How is that possible?”
“Ask the absolutes about that. Why are you familiar with TV?”
“I’d rather not ask.”
Anyway, I ate and put the empty bowl away. Because of that, the killers who are planning to attack us will be caught off guard.
And at night, the darkness deepens. The killers, who thought they would be incapacitated by the effect of the medicine, move to attack us under the cover of night.
Of course, we were all fine, so we waited for them to come, shelling out at night. It was nice to kill time thanks.
“I’m here. I’m not going.”
“When you come, Merona!!!!”
“Eden, is there something like Merona here?”
“Then when you come, Tanghulu!!!!”
“There’s no place that sells it, but I’ll buy it when I go to the city.”
By the time they try to raid the place where we are staying. I opened the door and went outside.
The guys already wearing masks and carrying blue blades were already at the door. As a killer, he seems to have some skills, but in the end, if the surprise attack fails, the level of his skills will be lower than his original skills.
“Phew, poor demon!!!! How can I eat acid poison and blue-and-white cotton poison?!”
“All poisons are invincible. And are you guys prepared? Did you hear what happened to the guys who attacked you last time?”
“Plan A is a failure!!! Change it into a plan!!!!”
Some of the guys behind them soon leave, as if they had a second best solution. I wanted something, but soon they brought the villagers hostage.
When I see women and children…… I can only sigh.
“Aaaaah”
“Oh, Mama! Mama!”
“Save me!!! Help me!!!!”
The killers holding the hostages put knives to their throats. If you resist, I will kill you.
“Hungma, if you rebel even a little, know that their lives won’t come.”
“What do you say, do you think people you’ve met for the first time today will be able to take hostages? My nickname is a demon?”
“It might not work for you. But what about the Holy Beast Maiden?”
“You don’t have to go all the way to my daughter. Take a hostage? You guys will do the same for them last time.”
I seized the nearest sprayer with telekinesis and pulled out my arm. Pooh!!! His arms fly through the air as blood splatters.
“Kwaaaaa!!!!”
“Phew, evil!!! Are you not even worried about the safety of the hostages!!!!”
“Yes, kill it. Kill at least one person as an example. At that point, it becomes a threat.”
“Are you sure you can’t? Kill the woman!!!!”
Before long, the killer who was holding the hostage cut his sword at the village woman’s neck.
Originally, it is normal for blood to come out, but what you hear is not the sound of flesh cutting, but that! It was the sound of scratching something hard.
“………..What?”
“What are you guys doing to hold a hostage in front of me?”
In fact, holding someone I don’t even know well is a meaningless act and I wouldn’t mind killing them, but Eden sees them now. So the hostages had to be protected as well.
So I put a very little bit of my force field on it. Of course, even if a nuclear bomb explodes right in front of their noses, they will be fine, so from their point of view, even if they wake up from death, they cannot harm them.
“Now, let’s start soon. You guys…… I won’t kill you for now, I’ll just subdue you. You guys are not ours.”
It will be the people of this village who will judge you.
* * *
I subdued all the shooters and rescued the hostages. Then, I went to the village chief and listened to the details of this incident.
The village chief was also awake and not sleeping, perhaps because he had a conscience. Seeing that, I don’t even want to beat the village chief. Eden is also watching, and will surely stop it.
“I’m sorry!!!! But they killed some of the men in my village and threatened to annihilate the whole village if I didn’t listen…. I’m really, really sorry!!! Dear priestess I have no face to drill!!!!!”
“I’m fine since I’m not hurt, but what about the dead?”
“……We haven’t even had a funeral yet.”
The faint smell of blood I felt belonged to them. Some were husbands and some were fathers.
What about the feelings of those who could not properly hold a funeral even for the death of a family member and should have performed a play like this? This is the sorrow of the powerless.
“Chief. They’ve all been subdued. They won’t be able to move. So I’ll leave the treatment of them to the villagers.”
“Well, then…”
“Don’t worry about the aftermath. If you burn the body, what does it matter whether the villagers killed it or we killed it?”
“…….Thank you”
Soon after, a threshing feast takes place.
The killers I subdued were beaten mercilessly by the villagers who had lost their families. On the day of the ox, he beats them with a club and beats them until they die.
“This guy!!! This guy!!! This guy!!!!!”
“Keuk, kuk!!!!!”
“My brother died because of this bastard!!!!!”
“Kuaaaaa”
“I’m dying!!!!!”
“Save my dad!!! Save me!!!!!!”
I stopped anyone who wanted to bring a knife. It’s best to kill with a knife, because stabbing with a knife will kill you quickly.
The threshing feast lasted quite a long time. No matter how many people there are, the opponents are Moorim people, so they don’t die easily because they have good skills. But it’s good because it can cause more pain.
After beating them all day, the last one stopped breathing. They paid the price for their sins, but the dead do not return.
The bodies of those who could not be buried are collected and cremated. At the same time, their sorrow that has been built up explodes.
Hehe, honey…..Hehe!!!”
“Ughhhhh!!!!”
“Dad…”
It’s not our fault, but it hurts when innocent people die because of us. Reverse turns will have to pay for this later.
Looking at the burning fire while putting on makeup, Sangjin made a hard expression. Anger at the current situation burns in his eyes.
“Why… You mean taking the lives of innocent people for a purpose?”
“That’s the fear of those with a cause. Those who justify themselves that they are right take away the lives of others who have nothing to do with it.”
Of course, killing people just because they touch my family is not something I would say, but at least I kill with my own will, not with the will of an organization like they do.
The majority is better than the individual, but the majority cannot always be right. What’s more, if you’re in the same situation now…
“The Murim people think they live on the edge of a knife. But they are not. But those innocent people…!!!!”
“If you realize something from this incident, be more diligent. If you want to condemn or stop them, you must have that much power.”
“That’s right, the Murim people are a people who don’t get caught with words. Even a political faction that values justifications sometimes peels pumpkin seeds behind their backs. So, the easiest way to stop them or shut them up is to prove them with martial arts.”
“…………”
I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it seems that Sangjin’s goal has been set.
It was originally thought that he was an upright child, but he had no specific purpose, but this incident seems to have changed. Well, it would be nice to have one like that, but I don’t know what will happen later.
If you go later, won’t you become Moorim’s Punisher or Doom Guy?
A Moorim who touches the good people? Rip and kill!!!!
