Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 139

My hand stabbed Hwaran.

It wasn’t my will.

Along with the suddenly heard words, my hand moved against my will.

“Ah… Aaa….”

“Why… Mountain Lord. What did I do wrong? What did I…!”

She coughed up black blood and gripped my shoulder, which she was holding onto, even tighter.

Her expression was resentful.

“I, I didn’t do it….”

I was confused. My hand suddenly stabbed her.

I….

“Master…. It hurts….”

Hwaran suddenly transformed into my disciple.

She was definitely the disciple who died by the master’s hand.

My heart pounded.

Something hot flowed from my eyes.

When I blinked, the disciple disappeared.

Suddenly, my father was coughing up blood.

“Is this your answer? Yoon-ryung.”

“No… No! That’s not my answer…!”

My head throbbed.

My vision spun.

“You were that kind of person. Caring only about yourself, rather than someone like me!”

It was Cha Ryuk.

Before I knew it, I was uttering words of excuse.

“I haven’t forgotten you for a single day! How much I’ve missed you…!”

I’m dizzy.

My stomach churned.

Longing burst forth intensely.

“Are you trying to kill me too, just like you killed my family, Brother!”

It was my sworn brother.

No.

That’s not it.

I didn’t mean to do that.

I pulled my hand out of my brother’s body.

Black blood stained my hand.

“Ah! Aaa!!”

Blood.

My brother’s blood flowed over my hand.

With this hand, I ended up hurting my brother again.

Just like I harmed his family.

I wanted to step back.

But my body was trapped in a black swamp, unable to retreat.

My brother’s eyes turned fierce for a moment, and he shed tears of blood.

But that was only for a moment.

Before I knew it, my brother had turned into Yeon-ah.

“Why did you entrust Baek-san to me, Master! Am I just a dog guarding the house!?”

“No. That’s not it…. I, I wanted to give you a place for you to be….”

“Stop it! Do you think I can be compensated for my past life with such words!? I would have been happier if I had just died back then!”

Yeon-ah soon turned into Yoho.

“I should have just killed my husband back then. Because of my foolish attachment, I couldn’t die either. Seeing me being swayed like this because I coveted your seed, I guess it’s time for me to die too.”

And then.

“Husband.”

Cho-ah appeared.

I didn’t want to hear it.

With trembling hands, I covered my ears.

But her voice came clearly into my ears.

“Husband… do you love me?”

At that moment.

The world went out.

* * *

Sword practitioners gathered out of curiosity at the sudden strange phenomenon, but soon disappeared.

It was because they felt the eternal energy emanating a powerful aura.

“That’s funny.”

The energy of the Sword Array quietly subsided.

Within it, only one energy could be felt.

Elder Ji-chung wore a thick smile.

Since all the other guys disappeared and only that guy was left, he couldn’t stay still.

There wasn’t a single Taoist [practitioner of Taoism, a Chinese philosophy and religion] of his level left in the Sword Spirit Island.

Now was the perfect opportunity to kill him.

The dust slowly settled.

The guy’s appearance was revealed.

A giant tiger wearing black armor.

The magnificent horn rising from its head was an impressive sight.

“What have you done? Did you devour all the Tae-seons [Great Immortals]?”

The guy didn’t answer.

He didn’t even react.

But nothing had changed.

Elder Ji-chung took out an axe from his chest.

When the purple energy flashed, Gwi-yul frowned deeply.

Jang-cheon also bit his lip.

“Just a zombie.”

In front of the Sword Array was Gwi-yul, with the statue of the Incomplete Great Demonic Being behind him.

At the same time, his figure disappeared. Gwi-yul encompassed all directions, took out the Nine Ringed Blade, and slammed it into the ground. Kwajik! Suddenly, demonic energy erupted, covering the area.

The scariest thing about Eternal is the Shrinking Earth [a technique for rapid movement].

Because of the Space Divine Power.

But if he did this, even if he used Shrinking Earth, it would be easier to notice since all directions were his domain.

But.

“Will that be enough?”

A chilling voice came from behind.

Gwi-yul immediately protected his body with the statue.

A huge purple sword energy stretched out.

Kwaaaang!!

The demonic energy stirred, and the purple aura devoured the ghosts.

“This!”

Jang-cheon moved his lips. Then, the staff he was holding shone and swelled to a thickness of ten feet.

Kwang!!

But there was nothing on Jang-cheon’s enlarged staff.

“Seven Immortal Treasures? Hmph, it’s just an imitation of an immortal’s treasure!”

Ji-chung, who had shrunk to Jang-cheon’s side, sneered. Just as he was about to strike Jang-cheon with his fist, Gwi-yul, who had been bounced away, threw the Nine Ringed Blade with all his might.

Swaaack!!

Elder Ji-chung shrunk again.

Puk! Kwaaaang!

The Nine Ringed Blade, stuck in the ground, explosively created demonic energy.

The demonic energy gathered together and twisted into the form of a giant dragon, rushing forward.

Kugugugung!!

Elder Ji-chung clicked his tongue and threw his axe high into the sky. The axe emitted a cloud of purple mist.

Soon, a giant dragon emerged from there, writhing and raising its head.

“I’ll sweep them all away.”

As he roughly clasped his hands together, magical characters densely filled every part of the dragon’s body.

The dragon’s momentum grew even stronger.

Soon, purple scales, like armor, sprouted from its tail to its head in an instant.

It had completely transformed into a purple dragon.

The intense energy it emitted made it difficult for the surrounding clansmen to even breathe.

“The power of the Incomplete Great Demonic Being is said to be powerful, but the power that can be wielded without complete integration with the statue is less than a speck of dust!”

The purple dragon ate the ghosts and charged at Gwi-yul. At the threatening sight, Gwi-yul moved his lips and clasped his hands together.

Then, the statue opened its mouth and shot a black beam of light in an instant.

Kwaang!! It struck the purple dragon’s head, and a thick cloud of smoke rose.

But Ji-chung sneered.

The purple dragon was unharmed.

The purple scales covering its body shone glossily, showing its well-being.

The purple dragon opened its mouth wide and charged.

Unlike its huge body, the purple dragon’s evasion was quite quick.

There was no way to avoid it.

Gwi-yul, startled, formed a hand seal.

The statue also formed a hand seal with its eight hands, creating a black protective barrier.

Tup! Kwajijik!!

The purple dragon bit Gwi-yul’s protective barrier and soared as if ascending.

“It’s quite something for such a small thing, but all you can do is wield the power of the Incomplete Great Demonic Being with the statue of a mere zombie!”

He sneered and drew his sword.

Kkaang!!

Jang-cheon, who was hiding in the demonic energy, swung his staff, but it didn’t work.

“You insignificant thing. If it weren’t for Hwanmang Seonsa, I would have chewed you up long ago.”

Peok!

With a single kick, Jang-cheon was sent flying far away and disappeared into the forest.

A bitter smile hung thickly on Ji-chung’s face.

The tiger was blankly standing still amidst this chaos.

The time had come to kill him.

“I won’t let you die comfortably. I’ll cut off your head and torment you for the rest of your life!”

It was then.

The tiger’s armor suddenly writhed and transformed into a giant centipede, rushing to attack.

“You killed your own kind so well!”

Ji-chung threw his sword with all his might.

The sword, imbued with purple energy, rotated fiercely and charged. However, rather than shedding blood, Tam-hwa opened its huge mouth and swallowed Ji-chung’s sword in one bite.

Tsk, Ji-chung clicked his tongue and then firmly stepped on the ground and clenched his fist.

With intense energy, Ji-chung’s fist grew larger and changed.

It was like a dragon’s claw with purple scales all over it.

Kwaaaang!!

It directly hit Tam-hwa’s body, and a roar spread, shaking the forest with its pressure.

“It may be tough, but that’s all!”

Veins popped out on Ji-chung’s head. Ji-chung’s fist grew even larger, and the scales stood on end.

Tam-hwa, who had been enduring, slowly began to be pushed back, and then its huge body flipped over in an instant and flew a hundred yards away.

Kwaaaang!!

As Tam-hwa rolled on the ground, a roar spread, as if an earthquake had occurred.

“Hap!”

Ji-chung immediately clasped his hands together and gathered energy. Then, crimson pillars shot up from the ground where Tam-hwa was.

It was a strange pillar.

As the pillars appeared, the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures spread throughout the area.

Then, Tam-hwa couldn’t move at all, and the pillars moved as if they were alive and gathered into one.

The crimson pillar soon turned into a giant sphere and completely trapped Tam-hwa.

Kung!

“Hahaha!”

Ji-chung, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly turned his head.

A strange spiritual pressure.

A dissonance occurred, but if you listened closely, it felt like it was meshing properly.

It was hard to express in words.

But nothing had changed.

It was then.

Suddenly, the tiger’s body rippled, and blades began to spring from within its body.

“What….”

The blades repeatedly swelled and shrank.

Then, they became quiet and suddenly began to growl at Ji-chung.

The tiger’s appearance had changed.

It was a faded, light gray color, and it was spreading a sharp aura.

“Come!”

As Ji-chung shouted, the tiger rushed in as if it had been waiting.

With a thump, the tiger, which had appeared on Ji-chung’s left, struck down with its front paw.

Kwang!

Feeling a chilling sensation, Ji-chung shrunk and rolled on the ground.

Chwajajajajak!! Suddenly, giant blades shot up from the ground.

Ji-chung, speechless, looked at his shoulder and smiled bitterly.

‘He has achieved the Purple Gold Strong Support Clear Sky, which is no less than diamond….’

A great sharp energy.

But that’s not all.

Something intangible was constantly flying around the tiger.

Although it was invisible, Ji-chung’s spiritual sense judged that there was something there.

‘I knew he wasn’t an ordinary guy….’

He was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even laugh.

It was amazing that he was using Shrinking Earth, but it was even more amazing that he was engaging in strange attacks.

Moreover, the number of invisible things seemed to be quite large.

He couldn’t figure out what they were.

If his spiritual sense wasn’t as strong as his, he wouldn’t even be able to feel them.

It was then.

The ground shook violently.

Chwajajajajak!

Hundreds of giant blades shot up from the ground and rushed at Ji-chung.

Ji-chung immediately shrunk into the sky.

Kuaaa!

“Heot!”

But the tiger was already behind him, opening its mouth.

He twisted his body to avoid it and immediately punched the tiger’s mouth.

Ji-chung’s fist was made of purple energy and was fired as a fist energy.

Kwang!

A powerful roar spread as if he had been hit by a giant’s fist.

A look of joy appeared on Ji-chung’s face, but he stopped abruptly.

Blades sprang up from the tiger’s entire body, perfectly protecting it.

To make matters worse, black rings formed on the tiger’s horns and spread to its body.

Wooddeuk wooddeuk.

The skin tore and the sound of bones was heard strangely, and the tiger’s body grew larger.

It seemed to be three times larger than before.

Suddenly, Ji-chung took out a scroll from his chest and unfolded it. The scroll instantly transformed from paper into a metal of tremendous thickness, wrapping around Ji-chung like a cocoon.

Kagagang!!

A strong metallic sound erupted.

“Keuek!”

The metallic sound soon subsided, and Ji-chung became depressed as he looked at the damaged treasure after removing the metal scroll.

Something that had been felt by his spiritual sense suddenly rushed in and defended, and this was the result.

Hundreds of blue flying swords were leisurely circling around the tiger.

As his cherished treasure was damaged in an instant, anger soared.

“Okay, let’s end it today!”

Purple mist stretched out in all directions from Ji-chung’s body, who glared.

The purple mist spread out in an instant, covering a distance of nearly a hundred yards.

Soon, his body changed and transformed into a purple dragon with purple scales.

He also took on his true form.
