Episode 239
Right after I used the great magic of Yushin Suppression in the last battle with Luke, I felt a strange sensation.
Surprisingly, I feel like I completed the ceremony without too much difficulty than I thought.
Of course, it was like an adventure, but nevertheless, when the ceremony was completed, I had a handful of leeway left. It was said that even Yushin Swaeeum (有信碎蔭) could not bring out my limits.
‘then… … .’
A slightly more powerful spell may also be used.
So, the magic formula I had in mind was Hecktail’s great magic, the Four Moon Wheel.
To be honest, the odds were about half and half at best. I knew the structure and content of the spell itself, but the fact that it was a high-class magic that I am currently using has not changed.
“The wheel of the Three Realms and Six Paths revolves around eternity.”
Whoops!
However, the moment the timing of the counterattack came, I had a strange intuition that it was possible now.
I also wanted to test it out for sure.
What is my current limit and how far can I reach if I draw out all my strength?
And in fact, the rites were constructed and connected according to my will, and their mighty majesty was gradually revealed.
“Great magic, four moons.”
Nettle juice!
Pasta crispy!
The moment the ceremony was completed, the enormous energy of death that erupted filled his eyes.
Seeing the unbearable power, the multicolored eagle took a defensive stance with all its might, but that alone was not enough.
In the end, the magic swept through the guy’s body, and the guy twisted and twisted with a scream full of pain.
[Goo!]
The limbs are corroded, and parts of the body begin to gradually die.
Unable to withstand the intense curse that invaded the body, it was falling apart from the inside.
And when the aftermath of the ceremony finally faded, he fell to the ground powerlessly, spitting out black, dead blood.
‘Is this enough… … .’
No matter what I said with my mouth, the Four Moon Wheel I just completed had a higher power than that of Hecktail.
It also meant that the power provided by the gold industry figures was amazing enough to fill all the gaps in the specs.
‘but… … .’
As I had already used the upgrade magic in a more powerful form, the burden on my body was considerable.
It may be a temporary phenomenon, but the right upper body that fired the procedure does not move well as if it were paralyzed.
Even with the correction of the gold industry figures, it was this much, so if it had been the original, the right arm and shoulder might not have been able to recover for the rest of her life.
‘Well, even that hextail was a technique that was used with extreme caution.’
It was a great power, but I thought it would be better to avoid using it recklessly.
With that thought in mind, I moved towards the corpse of the lowly one.

“I really did leave him alone… … .”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Immediately after the battle was over, the exorcists spread out in all directions went straight to the place where Han Kang-yoon was, and each made a surprised expression.
There were traces of battle that seemed to believe even if a bomb had exploded, but the appearance of Han Kang-yoon standing in front of a messed-up and dead ghost in front of him aroused a great sense of alienation to them.
‘It must have been a high-level youkai… … .’
‘Is it possible to reach this level at that age?’
Jealousy should be on the same level, and for them, who have accumulated a lot of experience while getting older, Han Kang-yoon was already recognized as an incomparable existence.
Ji Young-min, who was in charge of the shelter, felt the same way.
“It’s amazing. How was he?”
“It was strong. However, it would be difficult to see that it has completely reached S rank.”
“haha… … .”
In other words, for Han Kang-yoon, even this monstrous poisonous toad must have been regarded as an opponent under Han-su.
Ji Young-min, realizing this, had no choice but to let out a helpless laugh.
“… Clearly, you are not the kind of person to be held captive in a place like this. He is definitely someone who needs to do something more important.”
“It’s overrated.”
Because of Han Kang-yun’s previous activities, inside the shelter, there was an atmosphere where he wanted him to stay and protect them, knowingly and unknowingly.
To be honest, Jimin was the same way.
In this chaotic situation, protecting the citizens with only himself and his exorcists was accompanied by a lot of anxiety.
But now I can be sure.
Han Kang-yoon is not the only being who is stuck here.
He was clearly a talented person who would play an active role for the world in a more important phase.
“I think I need to meet the party urgently, could you please dispose of his body?”
“Sure, don’t worry, let’s go first.”
At the place where Han Kang-yoon left, an exorcist spoke to Ji Young-min, who was looking at his back.
It was Yoon Young-cheol, a distant junior of the exorcist at the headquarters and recently obtained a second-class exorcist qualification.
“By the way, brother, isn’t this unexpectedly worth trying? When I looked up close, that young man also caught him without much difficulty.”
“You are making a very big noise.”
Of course, it is not strange to think so. At first glance, Han Kang-yun’s battle was that easy and clear.
However, the outward appearance and the inner situation are markedly different. At least Ji Young-min had the insight to recognize it.
“Youngcheol-ah, try casting a spell with the maximum power you have once.”
“Hmm… … I see.”
In this way, Yoon Young-cheol recites mantras and pours the most powerful high-tech technique currently available on the corpse of the Dabaldoksu.
Suddenly, other exorcists also watched the scene, but when they saw the result, they were all silent.
“Wow, what… … .”
“Isn’t that almost no shock?”
If he had been alive and well, it wouldn’t have been this surprising.
However, now he has been attacked by a dead body, especially Han Kang-yoon, so his skin is torn and his skin is corroded.
However, even against such a guy, Yoon Young-cheol’s attack did not leave much of a wound.
“Now do you understand? Without him we would have been annihilated. If you really want to protect the citizens, everyone should keep an eye on the dangers of high-level youkai.”
As the exorcists gathered at the place nodded their heads with a serious expression, Yoon Young-cheol, who was equally embarrassed, added a word soon.
“Huh, then how strong is that young man?”
It was something that even Ji Young-min could not understand.

“… late. junior.”
“sorry. Because a fairly strong youkai has attacked it.”
Immediately after guiding the former citizens to the shelter, I handed Arieta a request in advance.
That is, they were asked to go around the surrounding area and other shelters to gather information.
‘In order to move in a timely manner, it is necessary to closely grasp the situation above all else.’
If it was Arietta’s ability, it could be actively used for stealth and exploration, so it was a lucky thing for me.
“So, what was the result?”
“… First of all, the situation at the other shelters was not very different from here.”
Everyone is suffering from a power shortage, and it seems that they are protecting the citizens from the frantic pouring of monsters.
If so, I thought it was obvious that the number of mediocre youkai had greatly increased.
And what was important was the next part.
“Were you there? Information about them.”
At my words, Arieta shook her head with a subtle expression.
“I have obtained some information about high-level youkai, but I haven’t been able to find any that at least match the characteristics my juniors gave me.”
“… That’s right, you worked hard.”
Each one of them was greatly emphasized in the original, and the monsters who became like enemies of Yoo Ha-on and the others.
I thought one or two of them would be able to find a clue, but it seems that the answer was wrong.
‘Is the timing too early?’
However, I don’t know if there was such a mention. It didn’t take long for the guys to appear in the original.
In that case, it would be the right decision to first move around the area and expand the scope of activities.
“I will be leaving this place soon.”
“yes. I will prepare it.”
So I went back to the shelter and said goodbye to Ji Young-min and Joo Yong-taek, and I left the place without hesitation.
“Where do you plan to go now?”
“First of all, I want to go around the outskirts of Seoul and look at the situation.”
As much as Yoo Ha-on and his party are scattered around it, most of the incidents also occur around it.
Of course, there could be any number of incidents that were not addressed in the original work, but it was meaningless to think about right now anyway.
“… Junior, the situation is worse than I thought.”
“Surely it is.”
I could see this by broadening the scope of activity. Rather, Ji Young-min and the people in the shelter were a lucky case.
Even near Namyangju where we are now, there were quite a few citizens holding their breath in their homes or nearby halls without being able to move to the shelter yet.
Some of them were even left behind on the street and hadtily hid in the sewer or underground parking lot, so it was not difficult to grasp the urgency of the situation.
We, who were slowly moving around the area while helping such people, were able to obtain a variety of information as we initially expected.
One thing that stood out among them was the news from the neighboring country, China.
“Are you saying it’s such a big deal?”
“Well, that’s right, because the land is so large and the population is so large, it doesn’t seem to be able to handle it. Those who already have the power and money are leaving.”
Considering the case in the original story, it certainly seems that China is going through a rather poor situation.
Perhaps the existence of Yoyok Port, which I sent back to the base of the Sagun faction, has little to do with him.
“Anyway, be careful. You never know what will happen if you make a mistake in this country.”
“Yes. old man. I will read it.”
Obviously, I can’t quite grasp the flow of this Baekgwi Night Trip.
So far, there have been not one or two times where something different from the original has happened, but this time the case was different.
‘It’s a very different flow from what I knew.’

Maybe this time, I will have to throw away all the common sense I have had.With that determination in mind, I and Arietta continued to travel around the outskirts of Seoul to rescue citizens.
And when two weeks passed, I finally had to admit it.
‘The monsters who made their name in the original… … I don’t see a single guy.’
It’s probably something unusual.
The fact that this Baekgwi night trip will probably flow in a completely different composition from what I had imagined.
