Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 155

Clatter!

At the sound of something breaking, the woman with the eye patch reached into her pocket.

“Gyeogyeong-nim [term of respect, similar to ‘Miss’ or ‘Madam’]. This….”

The woman called Gyeogyeong turned her head, and the woman with the eye patch showed her a piece of stone in her palm.

“Gyuyun is dead.”

Looking closely, the stone fragments were from a broken small mermaid statue.

“What should we do?”

“Do as we were doing. As I said before, getting out of here is the first priority.”

* * *

At the same time.

“Ugh, uooo…!”

Un-mo couldn’t help but be amazed as he looked at the spectacle he had created.

“Did I really do this?”

Is this real?

Even after rubbing his eyes, it wasn’t a dream.

Despite his doubts, the scene before his eyes told him it was real.

“With this power….”

Un-mo was filled with joy as he looked at the black armor covering his body.

He didn’t know what it was, but his body was overflowing with power.

He could pierce enemies with a single punch and blow away entire areas with his fist pressure.

“I can teach those old geezers who ignored me as a Mixed Blood a lesson!”

But more than that, first.

“Ryu-aeng, let’s go catch those bastards!”

“Those bastards?”

“Yeah! We have to punish those eye-patch bastards who killed my inner disciple who was going to be our fellow disciple!”

They are committing murder.

They are definitely not good people.

“I have power, and there are people committing evil deeds before my eyes, so if I stay still, I’m not acting as a disciple of Baek-san [a fictional or real-world mountain or sect]!”

“Are you sure? Those guys are spies who infiltrated Baek-san for some reason. They’re not ordinary guys, and even if I don’t know for sure, their level is probably above Biseon [a rank in the Baek-san sect]. Even if you suddenly gained great power, it’s still dangerous.”

Ryu-aeng said, looking at the corpse that died without even leaving a spirit trace.

It was a cold judgment.

“Then we should inform the Taoists of Baek-san and punish them even more!”

Un-mo’s emotions ran high, and he shouted loudly, and Ryu-aeng frowned.

“I won’t stop you if you want to do that, but I won’t be of any help.”

A tone that clearly drew a line.

However, Un-mo nodded as if it were natural.

“I’ll protect you, so don’t worry.”

“That’s not what I mean, you idiot!”

“It’s not? It’s okay! I’ll beat down all the bad guys!”

Ryu-aeng sighed deeply and nodded as if she couldn’t win.

“Let’s go for now. If you want to do something, you’ll have to get out of Yeongnae Mountain [another mountain or region] first.”

After that.

As they approached the birch tree, a Taoist dangling his legs was waiting for them on the tree.

“Did you find what you wanted?”

“Yes! Please send us back!”

“I understand. Return!”

As he made a hand gesture and shouted, their bodies were sucked into the air and disappeared.

Whoosh!

With a sharp wind sound, they were teleported somewhere.

“Ugh….”

It was so dizzy that he felt like he was going to throw up, and it was hard to keep his balance.

But that was only for a moment.

Un-mo was terrified when he saw the Taoists waiting in front of him.

In the center of Baek-san, Taoists of Giback [a specific group or location within Baek-san] were building a formation and waiting.

‘The Taoists of Baek-san already noticed that those guys were there!’

From Doseon to Hwanseon [ranks within the Baek-san sect], they were emitting tremendous energy.

They were solemn and quiet, to the point where you could hear the sound of swallowing.

The Taoists fluttering their blue robes.

And the black eye-patch group confronting them in front. He didn’t know the details, but it was clear that the atmosphere wasn’t good.

“You’ve come quickly. As the enforcer elder of the Baek-san Sect, I will check your items.”

Myeong Elder, who had a long beard, stepped forward in front of them and said.

The black eye-patch group paused for a moment before taking out the spirit herbs from their pockets.

“This is our answer.”

Each and every one of them were precious spirit herbs.

“Oryongcho (Rising Dragon Herb) [a valuable herb]. It’s said to be a spirit herb that a centipede ate and became a dragon and ascended to heaven.”

A precious spirit herb that is widely used not only for making pills but also for various elixirs.

However, it was not enough to be considered the best among those in Yeongnae Mountain.

Myeong Elder glanced back.

Behind him, a middle-aged woman was holding a mirror and wearing a faint smile.

“I will light the fire with the Heavenly Mirror.”

As she chanted softly, the mirror flashed and emitted a milky, fluffy light.

The light scattered over the eye-patch group and disappeared, and talisman spells floated from their bodies.

As the golden, brilliant spells glowed, they felt an invisible force pressing down on their bodies.

“What are you doing!”

One of the eye-patch group shouted.

However, the Baek-san Sect Taoists guarded silently with serious faces.

And after a while.

Something was reflected in the Heavenly Mirror.

The items they were carrying in their pockets.

And a pile of letters and leaves of the Divine Tree they had.

The eye-patch group was startled, and the killing intent of the Baek-san Taoists intensified.

They used some kind of magic to shine the Heavenly Mirror on what they had in their pockets!

“This is….”

Leaving aside the leaves of the Divine Tree, it was full of treasures and items that only the Sea Folk would use.

That means.

“Sea Folk!!”

Cheo-cheo-cheok!

Spears were aimed at them all at once.

“I don’t care what you were before… But if you are guys with evil intentions, it’s a different story.”

“What business do the Sea Folk of the East Sea have in Baek-san! Tell me the truth!”

The Taoists who had been sitting cross-legged began to move their lips and chant spells.

A thick mist began to rise.

The Hwanjin [a type of magical formation] that had been prepared unfolded.

“Tsk.”

The Sea Folk, who had thrown away their eye patches, revealed their true forms and frowned.

The ears turned into fins, the legs became fish, and fangs grew.

They were one of the three major Sea Folk of the East Sea.

They were a group of Gyoin Clan [a specific clan of Sea Folk].

“Attack!!”

As all the Taoists of Baek-san rushed out, the sound of metal clashing rang out in the mist.

Sparks flew, and each treasure flew around, and divine powers soared.

Kwaaaang!!

At that time, a corner of the Hwanjin was destroyed, and a powerful pillar of light soared.

“Do you think you can do anything to us with just Doseon! It’s better this way! I’ll wipe you all out and take the intact Divine Tree and Mixed Blood!”

Three Yeongmyeong [powerful members of the Gyoin Clan], transformed into mermaids, jumped out of the Hwanjin.

The three Gyoin Clan members wielded their tridents as if dancing and moved their lips.

The voices of the Gyoin Clan were as warm as the sunlight and as sweet as honey.

The Doseon couldn’t come to their senses at the seductive voices and collapsed.

“What a cunning voice! Wake up!”

“Disgusting fish bitches!”

Myeong Elder and Man Elder joined hands, and the wave of spiritual energy spread like a wave.

Only then did the Doseon, who had regained some sanity, stand up using their spears as supports.

But the Gyoin had already finished their work.

Suddenly, a huge amount of seawater floated in the air and took over the area.

The Gyoin hid in the seawater.

The strange thing was that the seawater was floating in the air, not on the ground.

They were not to be taken lightly.

It was a skillful method to be less affected by the Hwanjin.

“Never go into that!”

It had been a long time since they had killed two Gyoin.

All that remained were three Yeongmyeong.

If they catch those three, it’s over.

Kkeuaaaak!!

One of the Gyoin swam through the seawater, skewered one of the Doseon with a skewer, and dragged him away.

The seawater was instantly stained with blood.

It was truly in the blink of an eye.

The Sea Folk can’t use their power on land, but it seems that’s not the case if they have seawater.

The seawater had expanded so much in volume that sharks and various marine creatures began to take their place in it.

The seawater was increasing more and more.

“Ryu-aeng, shouldn’t I help too.”

“No, you don’t need to help. The Taoists of Baek-san aren’t fools either. Since it’s seawater made with divine power, it won’t last long if the spiritual power reaches its limit.”

The longer they drag it out, the more advantageous it is for the Baek-san Sect in the middle of Baek-san.

Myeong-hwa, Man-sam, and Yeon-a infiltrated the Hwanjin with them.

Suddenly, a red sword rushed like lightning from the mist.

One of the Gyoin Clan members shook his trident with a sneer.

“Hah!”

The seawater moved like a whip.

It wrapped around the red sword.

Kuoong!

The weight of the sword suddenly increased.

“Oh!”

The Gyoin dropped his trident due to the increased weight that he couldn’t handle.

The wrist had burst.

But there was no time to be dazed.

The red sword rushed at him like crazy.

“What are you doing!”

Two Gyoin who were swimming as if looking for prey appeared and shook their tridents.

The Gyoin’s face crumpled.

Suddenly, the sword turned into a red snake and dug through the tridents!

Chwaak!!

“Kkyaaaaak!!”

The Gyoin Clan woman’s neck and body were separated, and crimson blood mixed with the seawater.

The red sword was Geunhasinyeon [a magical sword], a treasure that San-gun had made for Yeon-a.

It was a treasure containing the mystery of Cheongeunchoo [a type of magic or power].

“Now is the time!”

Man-sam stomped his feet and created pure white vegetation, stabbing it like a spear.

The two Gyoin Clan members hid their figures as the wooden spears suddenly stabbed in.

“Throw it!”

Not only the Doseon but also the Biseon threw the treasures and weapons they had in their hands.

Hundreds of weapons killed the sea creatures and chased the Gyoin Clan into the seawater.

Most of them were scattered in the seawater, but some treasures that penetrated sharply injured the Gyoin Clan.

“Damn bastards…!!”

The seawater spread out in the air was now as red as the Red Sea.

Right then.

Yeon-a held Geunhasinyeon. She concentrates by running her finger over the sword.

Soon, blue flames flickered, and her body floated into the air.

Clear and blue flames.

“Oh, that’s…!”

The Doseon looked at her divine power with admiration.

Hwansintong [a type of divine power] that only the owner of Baek-san and his disciples can use.

Bongak Cheonghwa [a specific technique or manifestation of Hwansintong].

“Go!”

Bongak Cheonghwa was dwelling in Geunhasinyeon.

It was shot while burning dazzlingly. As the sword was shot into the seawater, Yeon-a changed her hand gestures, joined her hands, and spread her arms while concentrating as if it were difficult.

And then.

Kwaang!

The seawater exploded, and blue flames soared in all directions like a huge lotus flower.

“Kkiaaaak!”

The Gyoin Clan was pushed out by the aftermath of the explosion!

The Taoists of the Baek-san Sect threw their spears at them in an instant.

Hundreds of spears that flew in an instant were shot like bees.

“These bastards…!”

The Gyoin Clan woman quickly made a hand gesture and struck her chest.

Koong!

When she hit it, her body exploded, spewing out a cloud of blood.

Then, another Gyoin Clan woman also exploded with a cloud of blood and hid her figure.

The Baek-san Sect Taoists were startled and shrank back.

Man-sam, who narrowed his brows, shouted.

“Focus on the Hwanjin! They’re trying to run away in this gap! They’ve divided the pills and fled in all directions, so be sure to catch them!”

“Yes, sir!!”

It was then.

The Doseon collapsed or knelt with a thud due to the powerful spiritual pressure spreading throughout the area, and their faces turned pale.

“The energy of eternity!”

It was hard to understand what was going on since it was suddenly eternity.

But before they could even think, they heard footsteps in their ears.

Step by step.

A not-so-loud footstep.

But it was a sound that felt as big as if it were squeezing their hearts.

Myeong-hwa and Man-sam gathered their energy and stood up from their seats.

And what they saw was.

A little girl with a headband on her forehead.

“Ryu-aeng!!”

A little boy was screaming in shock behind the girl.

“Gyoin Clan, one of the three major Sea Folk of the East Sea. Don’t you need my help?”

The quick-witted Gyoin Clan woman shouted and answered at once.

“Of course, Preceptor [a title of respect and authority]! If you save me, I will repay you with anything in the name of the East Sea!”

“I don’t need repayment, an alliance with the Sea Folk of the East Sea is enough. I like Baek-san.”

They didn’t understand what she meant.

But their eyes widened at the girl’s next words.

“I must take Baek-san.”

“Who says so!!”

Yeon-a shouted.

It is clearly a mountain with an owner.

How dare a guy who suddenly appeared say he will take Baek-san!

However, Ryu-aeng spread the energy of eternity and suppressed the Taoists.

As the energy pressed down strongly, the Doseon spat out blood and rolled their eyes.

The Biseon barely endured, but their faces turned white and their bodies trembled.

Only Man-sam and Myeong-hwa were barely holding on, but they were just gritting their teeth.

The energy of eternity!

It’s on a different level from the Gyoin just now.

“I’m sorry, but isn’t it a mountain without an owner anyway? It’s better this way. If a Yuksa [a powerful practitioner] of eternity like me embraces it, Baek-san will also maintain its lineage.”

Ryu-aeng strode up to Yeon-a and lifted her chin.

“Give it to me. If you do, I won’t kill the Taoists here.”

Yeon-a bit her lower lip so hard that blood dripped down.

She clenched her fist.

“Ryu-aeng! What are you doing!”

He was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, Ryu-aeng spread a strange energy and suppressed the Taoists.

Then, he was suddenly trying to save the Sea Folk women, so he was dumbfounded.

He didn’t understand.

“Why are you trying to save them!?”

“I am a Yuksa of the Jimos Clan [a clan known for the energy of eternity]. I have guys I need to take revenge on, and the Sea Folk of Baek-san and the East Sea can give me enough help, so that’s why I’m doing this.”

“Revenge?”

“Un-mo. It’s a good thing for you. If I become the head of Baek-san, I’ll make you my direct disciple. Doing this is good for Baek-san, for me, and for you. Just accept it quietly. I don’t know why you were chosen by the spirit worm that achieved the Wiju Hoyeon Armor [a powerful artifact or technique], but if you, who can handle it, become my strength, not only Baek-san but also my wishes will be fulfilled!”

Ryu-aeng is the head of Baek-san….

It was hard to keep up with the story.

Events that were hard for Un-mo’s head to handle happened one after another.

What is right and wrong.

It was difficult for him to judge.

The elders and Taoists of the Baek-san Sect were all suppressed by Ryu-aeng’s spiritual pressure.

Their faces were distorted.

In contrast, the faces of the Sea Folk women brightened as if they had gained a million soldiers.

Clearly, the Sea Folk women must be evil.

But Ryu-aeng is saying that he has to save them.

He says that it’s for everyone.

“I don’t know difficult things. I’ve always been scolded and raised because I’m stupid. That’s why what you’re saying is difficult for a stupid person like me.”

But.

“I’m stupid, but I know this.”

He clenched his fist.

“What you’re doing can’t be for everyone. I can tell just by looking at the faces of the Baek-san Sect Taoists!!”

Their faces are all distorted.

So who are you doing it for?

“I’ll stop you, Ryu-aeng!”
