Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 185

The Dang family wasn’t spared either.

Even after the Zhuge family matter concluded, the Namgung and Moryong families mobilized their remaining forces to blockade and pressure the Dang family.

This was partly because Lee Ro-woon’s target was the Dang family.

-There are traces.

Looking at the situation, it was unavoidable.

The Zhuge family’s teleportation by another Guardian Dragon.

Those traces were also found within the Dang family.

“The Dang and Zhuge families were inseparable.”

Though called the Zhuge family of strategy, their main strength was their mechanical formations.

They specialized in fighting within their own territory, combining silver formations and mechanical devices.

And those mechanical formations.

‘Dang family.’

It was one of the areas where the Dang family’s help was greatly needed.

Furthermore, there was more evidence of the Dang family’s cooperation with the Zhuge family.

According to the investigations by the Namgung family and Ha Se-min.

“Circumstances have been detected where a large amount of magic stones and supplies were moved to the Dang family.”

The grand undertaking of summoning Balrog and the Guardian Dragon required more than just simple magic circles, and the Dang family provided the necessary supplies.

Originally, the Dang family was in charge of silver’s divine weapons, so they didn’t pay much attention to the large amount of supplies being moved, which was why the Zhuge family was able to prepare for the summoning without much difficulty.

Everything was clear, and there was more than enough justification.

“Dang Hwa-young.”

Lee Ro-woon had Dang Hwa-young, the rightful young master of the Dang family.

Moreover, the Dang family had plotted the overthrow of silver and joined hands with the Zhuge family.

It was time to pay the price.

Step, step.

Dang Hwa-young stood there, her thick black hair fluttering, a thin veil covering her face.

Today, she was not alone.

The escorts who were with her when Lee Ro-woon saw Dang Hwa-young again.

And warriors in green uniforms that he was seeing for the first time.

“It is an honor to meet you.”

One of them stepped forward and spoke.

“Thank you for giving us….”

A voice filled with despair.

“…this opportunity.”

The Dang family, abandoning their young master and joining hands with the Zhuge family.

But not all of them participated in that.

Because they were a clan.

They were forced to do it because they were the ones who had to follow the family’s will the most.

However, there were those who couldn’t accept it and chose to be expelled.

‘Dang Hwa-young wasn’t just playing around.’

In the meantime, Dang Hwa-young had been persuading and gathering them.

Step, step.

Their number was a full thousand.

Because the Dang family had many collateral branches, there were many Dang family warriors outside the main family.

“Tsk.”

Lee Ro-woon clicked his tongue, but also.

“Not bad.”

He acknowledged them.

Having understood the nature of a clan, he acknowledged how difficult their choice had been.

Those who did not make the wrong choice by going against the absolute orders of the family head and sided with Dang Hwa-young.

And those Dang family warriors.

“But….”

Those Lee Ro-woon had gathered.

“Is this all of them?”

Only thirty.

The Dang family warriors seemed disappointed by the number.

“It’s enough.”

“It’s enough.”

Dang Hwa-young and Lee Ro-woon judged that it was enough to subdue the Dang family with them.

The place they arrived at was already cleared.

“We will open the gates.”

The gates of the Dang family opened.

***

Not all of the Dang family warriors who cooperated with the Zhuge family through space teleportation were moved.

They were trapped in the world and could not come out, and naturally, they would have prepared for what was to come.

“Even Maju [Lee Ro-woon’s title] will have to be on his guard.”

As it was a place where the Dang family had to be restored, Dang Hwa-young was speaking formally to Lee Ro-woon.

“The Dang family wouldn’t have been careless in their preparations.”

The land they finally stepped on.

In a vast world.

Ssshhh.

Thick fog was obscuring everything.

Whoosh!

Dang Hwa-young didn’t panic and waved her arm, scattering something from her sleeve.

Chiiik!

Along with the rising smoke, an even more pungent smell stung the tip of their noses.

“Poison Fog Troops.”

The Dang family had scattered their pride, the poison fog, into the world in preparation for the enemies that would rush in.

“There will be mechanical formations ahead.”

Also, the Dang family, with the help of the Zhuge family, had considerable knowledge of mechanical formations, so they would have prepared numerous traps.

“I’ll do it.”

Until now, Dang Hwa-young had been behind Lee Ro-woon.

She had lost the prestige of her family, and her position was threatened.

She had been subdued, silently supporting from behind, accepting that she was not the main character.

But now, she was.

Step.

She was standing at the very front.

“I can’t just keep receiving help.”

She had to become the family head.

Of course, she had to show it.

“The Dang family warriors follow me.”

A low and concise voice spread, and the Dang family warriors nodded.

“Today, we will cut out the rotten parts of the family and be reborn.”

“Loyalty.”

It was a strange thing.

Srrk.

The presence of all the Dang family warriors faded.

‘Hidden Concealment.’

It was a type of hidden concealment technique they were proud of.

Pa pa pat!

They began to leap off the ground.

Purifying the poison with their fingertips.

Ta ta ta tang!

They deflected the hidden weapons that were pouring out as the mechanical formations activated.

Once the path was opened.

Step.

Lee Ro-woon and the others followed them.

Since the Dang family was also a large world, there were many traps laid out, and the speed of progress was slow due to the mechanical formations and poison fog.

“…….”

Even so, Dang Hwa-young was moving forward without difficulty, opening the way.

“It seems she’s been properly acknowledged.”

The Dang family warriors who trusted and followed Dang Hwa-young.

But the moment their steps stopped had arrived.

“Stop!”

With Dang Hwa-young’s sharp voice, the advance stopped.

The ones who had moved forward quickly.

One warrior who was a little late.

Chiiik!

He groaned as he looked at his burning hand.

“No way….”

Dang Hwa-young, with a distorted face, quickly checked his condition.

“To think they even used the Myriad King Poison….”

Even though she had given first aid, the warrior’s flesh was rotting away in an instant.

In the end, there was only one way.

Nod.

The warrior nodded.

Without hesitation, Dang Hwa-young swung her dagger.

Chwaak!

Cutting off the arm where the poison had penetrated.

That was the only way.

“It’s an item called the Dang family’s treasure. Would it be easier to understand if I said it’s similar to the Namgung family’s Namgung Martial Spirit?”

Dang Hwa-young explained as she assessed the situation.

“The Dang family has three divine artifacts, and one of them is the Myriad King Poison. The best poison is constantly created in a small poison bottle.”

A hint of panic appeared on her face.

“The Myriad King Poison is something that cannot be easily detoxified.”

It was a difficult task to overcome the area where the Myriad King Poison fog was widely spread.

“It’s enough now.”

Lee Ro-woon’s voice rang out at that moment.

“……?”

“You’ve shown what you needed to show.”

Dang Hwa-young, who had been panicking, held her breath and looked at Lee Ro-woon.

“You didn’t just rely on me to restore the Dang family.”

In the meantime, Lee Ro-woon had been watching her.

“Your heart for the Dang family, and the Dang family’s heart for you, are not small either.”

Also.

“Even that you’ve been acknowledged by the Dang family warriors.”

He had seen everything he needed to see.

“Now….”

“No!”

Dang Hwa-young tried to stop Lee Ro-woon from moving forward, but.

“Leave him be.”

Ha Se-min stopped her.

“Even after seeing this, do you still not understand?”

“What….”

“He is not someone we can judge or evaluate.”

“…….”

“Just watch.”

Chiiik!

Lee Ro-woon’s clothes were burning, and the rotting flesh inside was visible.

“Hoo.”

His mind was complicated.

He didn’t know why Kang Eun-ha’s face came to mind now.

Perhaps.

‘I might have been annoyed.’

That was why.

He had done enough, and he didn’t want to do this tedious thing anymore.

Chiiik!

Lee Ro-woon reached out his burning hand.

And.

“The Myriad King Poison!”

Dang Hwa-young was more surprised than when Lee Ro-woon defeated Balrog.

* * *

Whoosh!

The poison fog was being sucked in.

“Impossible!”

One of the Dang family warriors shouted in horror.

“The Myriad King Poison is….”

The Myriad King Poison, one of the Dang family’s divine artifacts.

The king of ten thousand poisons, an item called the pinnacle of poison.

Colorless and odorless, even confirming the existence of the poison was only possible for the chosen members of the Dang family’s direct line, and detoxifying the poison was close to impossible.

Even the life and death realm warriors, who were called immune to all poisons, had their blood and internal organs twisted and destroyed by the Myriad King Poison.

And yet.

Whoosh!

Lee Ro-woon was absorbing all of the Myriad King Poison with his outstretched arm.

The flesh continued to rot, but at the same time, new flesh was growing and recovering.

They could only open their mouths and watch.

And at some point.

Twitch.

The flesh no longer rotted.

Only the blood vessels bulged out, and Lee Ro-woon was receiving the Myriad King Poison without any problem.

Not only that, but even the poison fog that filled the Dang family was being sucked in.

“Impossible.”

Dang Hwa-young said with a hollow laugh.

Lee Ro-woon, who was receiving the Myriad King Poison.

“Impossible….”

Even if the Dang family were to fight Lee Ro-woon, everything was impossible.

Paat!

The last remaining poison fog disappeared, and the Dang family finally revealed its complete form.

“……!”

A much more miserable sight than they had imagined.

* * *

Kwaang!

Dang Hwa-young slammed her fist into the wall.

“Crazy bastards….”

The Dang family, known as cold-blooded.

Dang Hwa-young, the young master of such a Dang family.

“Crazy… bastards.”

Tears were streaming down her cheeks.

The Dang family’s poison fog had all disappeared, and the mechanical formations had also been destroyed by Lee Ro-woon.

With nothing to stop them, they immediately searched the Dang family like they were catching lice.

And they realized.

“Why on earth.”

Dang Hwa-young looked up at the sky, and tears fell from her eyes again.

“Why did you do this….”

Thousands of corpses were laid out beside her.

Faces dyed green.

They were all poisoned.

The Dang family warriors, the artisans, the servants.

“Uwaaaaaaa!”

Even those who were just living were all laid out at her feet.

“There are no survivors.”

Ha Se-min said with a heavy face.

He was the king of the black market, but even he could not have imagined this.

The Dang family.

What they had chosen.

“The Dang family’s young master is right, they are crazy bastards. They all died by poisoning themselves.”

It was to give nothing.

“The family head and Dang Mu-chan are not visible.”

Except for the Dang family’s main forces, everyone was dead.

Looking at the corpses, it was not a death they had chosen.

The Dang family’s leadership had cooperated with the Zhuge family to escape, killing everyone.

Clench.

Dang Hwa-young clenched her fist.

“Are you just going to stand there?”

Lee Ro-woon approached her.

“You are the family head.”

“…….”

“What are you going to do now?”

Even so, Dang Hwa-young couldn’t say anything.

Was it just her?

“…….”

The Dang family warriors also couldn’t say anything in this shocking situation.

“I’ll tell you.”

“…….!”

“Gather the corpses in one place.”

Lee Ro-woon placed his hand on the ground.

Saaaah.

A terrible chill was emitted from his body, freezing everything.

“The Dang family’s gates will be sealed, so that no one can enter or leave.”

They wouldn’t give anything?

Then.

‘I’ll take it all.’

He would take everything.

“Dang Hwa-young, get a grip.”

The dead are not all of them.

‘Kang Eun-ha.’

She was frozen by Partisan’s power in the Moryong family.

“Find the Soul Returning Divine Doctor.”

He would revive them all.
