Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 344

Nangseon Gi Hwan Dam – Part 2, Chapter 53

Ho Jun-seong swallowed the blood.

‘It’s coming.’

His final strike is coming.

The figure of the tiger against the backdrop of the purple lightning strangely resonated in his heart.

Wasn’t it like a grim reaper coming to take his life?

At least, Ho Jun-seong thought so.

Koo-rr-rung! Kwa-kwang!

The thunder and lightning in the dark clouds dyed the sky purple.

The tiger in the purple sky held a single spear.

‘Ssangmyeol [Twin Destruction].’

A treasure that could become stronger or weaker than any other weapon, depending on the wielder’s divine power and strength.

Kwa-ji-ji-jik!!

‘Bulcheonbulbyeok [Unyielding and Unchanging], is it?’

He had been watching that lightning-like thing during his Thunder God training with Beom.

He had seen it closer than anyone else.

A bizarre Thunder God that was lightning but not lightning, yet still lightning.

Ho Jun-seong took out a pure white comb.

The comb soon became a white Thunder God.

It was his Baeksucheonnoe [Lion’s Roar Thunder], the Thunder God of a majestic lion.

As Baeksucheonnoe appeared, pure white lightning began to dye the surroundings white.

A blindingly white lightning.

In a way, it looked sacred.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

Ho Jun-seong, transformed into a Sam-myeon-gwisen [Three-Faced Ghost God], moved his three mouths and spat something out from the middle one.

“Kkeu-eu-eu-ah-ah-ah!!”

He suddenly screamed and writhed in pain, with tears of blood streaming from his six eyes as he vomited blood.

What he spat out were a bow and arrow.

A bow and arrow that exuded an ominous aura, as if made from someone’s bones.

His Thunder God quickly permeated the arrow and emitted a powerful thunderbolt.

An ominous feeling he had never felt before swept through his entire body.

As Ho Jun-seong drew the bowstring, the Thunder God poured lightning around him.

Kwa-ji-jik!

Beom felt it as he looked at him.

‘With the Thunder God we trained with…’

Now we have to kill each other.

But there was no time to be lost in sentimentality.

It was just a regrettable story.

That’s how the world is.

An enemy blocking the way.

And a friend supporting from behind.

The man in front of him had unfortunately become an enemy.

So, what Beom had to do was not much different.

‘Kill the enemy.’

It was a natural thing that had always been done and would continue to be done.

That’s all.

Beom, having cleared his mind, gripped Ssangmyeol.

As the Subunbeopmok [Water Dividing Method Wood] burst out as the back of his hand split, a tremendous amount of Bulcheonbulbyeok deflected lightning in all directions.

A clear image of a thunderbird formed, accompanied by a sharp cry.

The sea of blue flames and the whirlwind of azure wind were spread all over the place, but they were gradually losing their power.

Tanhan Yeosan [Burning Cold Mountain], imbued with Bong [Phoenix Force], seemed to have used a lot of power, and its blue light had become murky.

It was time to decide the outcome.

White lightning and purple lightning dyed the sky.

Koo-rr-rung! Kwa-kwang!

Was the descending lightning a signal?

The magical weapons left their hands.

The purple and white, which flew in an instant, met and embroidered the sky with lightning.

The lightning that stretched out in all directions did not converge on one point.

It stretched out in all directions, each in its own way.

It was as if they were expanding their own territory, and they just kept stretching out without rest.

And when it reached a certain level.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-gak!!

Bulcheonbulbyeok and Baeksucheonnoe transformed into the shapes of beasts and began to bite each other.

Baeksucheonnoe ran through the white lightning in the form of a lion, and Bulcheonbulbyeok cried out in the form of a thunderbird, sending lightning at each other as they fought.

Ho Jun-seong and Beom made hand signs and desperately chanted spells.

A battle with no room for compromise.

It was then that the unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Bulcheonbulbyeok began to tear apart and devour Baeksucheonnoe.

“What…”

It was exactly as it sounded.

Bulcheonbulbyeok, in the form of a thunderbird, devoured the white lightning indiscriminately.

He had never heard of a Thunder God devouring another’s Thunder God.

Ho Jun-seong gritted his teeth and pulled up his divine power, but once it started being eaten, he couldn’t stop it.

Unlike Ho Jun-seong, who was vomiting blood, Cheonbeom couldn’t help but be excited by the unexpected change in Bulcheonbulbyeok.

‘I don’t know what it is, but…’

He couldn’t miss this momentum.

“Heu-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!!”

He pulled up power from his dantian [energy center] and ignited Bulcheonbulbyeok’s lightning.

He poured all the divine power into it until he felt like not a single strand of hair was left in his body.

When he felt like all the blood in his body had been used up and dried out.

Tick.

The trajectory of Ssangmyeol, which had been in contact with the arrow shot by Ho Jun-seong, was distorted.

“Ah…”

As Ssangmyeol, containing Bulcheonbulbyeok, slightly brushed past Ho Jun-seong’s arrow, sparks flew.

With an ear-splitting, sharp sound, the figure of Ssangmyeol disappeared.

Thud.

Ssangmyeol pierced Ho Jun-seong’s heart.

Even the barrier of the Extreme Mountain had been broken.

Ho Jun-seong, with his heart pierced, looked down at Ssangmyeol that had pierced him and gave a bitter smile.

“I shouldn’t have suggested training together…”

Ho Jun-seong said that and fell into the sea of fire.

Ho Jun-seong, pierced by a spear and falling into the blue sea of fire, was soon swept away by Bongak Cheonghwa [Phoenix Flame Purification] and disappeared.

It was a final moment that left no ashes behind.

“…”

Beom watched his end with bitter eyes.

He didn’t know what kind of story there was.

What he could know was that Ho Jun-seong was probably not such an evil person.

And that he had treated him as a friend while they were together.

“Foolish man.”

He knew this would happen, but he still made friends and trained together.

Beom couldn’t understand him, but he felt like he knew a little.

‘A like-minded friend is like that.’

Sometimes more comfortable than a woman or family, that’s what a close friend is.

“I will remember you.”

Beom didn’t dislike him either.

He could do that much.

As he waved his hand, Byeokryeok Cheongpung [Azure Lightning Clear Wind] and Bongak Cheonghwa subsided.

Ssangmyeol, which had flown back, returned with Bulcheonbulbyeok.

Beom’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ssangmyeol.

‘Bulcheonbulbyeok has settled in.’

Because of the situation, he poured all his power into it, and all the Bulcheonbulbyeok located in Subunbeopmok was contained within Ssangmyeol.

It should have returned, but… this guy doesn’t seem to want to come out, as if he likes Ssangmyeol.

‘Should I leave it alone for a while?’

It’s the one that neatly devoured Ho Jun-seong’s Baeksucheonnoe.

It’s a being with spirituality, so it’s better to observe the progress and judge rather than trying to separate it on purpose.

It has taken a step forward from before by swallowing Baeksucheonnoe, so it is not good to touch it rashly.

As he took in Tanhan Yeosan, whose energy had become very dark, it permeated his body.

If it weren’t for Bong, he would have died. The temporary separation is regrettable, but there will come a day when we meet again.

When that time comes, I will do my best to help him regain his true form.

“Saha.”

Having finished organizing, he looked for her.

“Uh…”

Saha had a dazed expression.

Her face was somewhat blank.

Well, it’s understandable since the guy who was thought to be dead suddenly recovered and defeated the culprit.

‘I’m not normal either.’

I used too much power.

I feel like I’m going to collapse at any moment.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m… okay! Are you okay?”

Saha, now that she had come to her senses, examined every corner of Beom’s body.

He looked weak, but there was no sign of injury anywhere.

“You’re really…”

He’s an unknowable guy.

Saha thought so.

And before she knew it, tears welled up again.

“I… sob, thought you were going to die.”

“Me too.”

“Huh…?”

“I thought you were going to die too.”

Beom’s eyes were deep.

He was looking at Saha, but it seemed like he was looking at something else inside.

Saha immediately noticed that it was her past self.

Beom wiped away Saha’s tears and hugged her.

“I’m glad you’re alive.”

Saha had a lot to say, but she didn’t bother to say it.

His face was too relieved to say anything.

That’s why Saha didn’t open her mouth.

“But the situation is not good.”

Saha tilted her head.

“Not good…? Maseon [Demon Seon] is dead, so Janjankyeongjeongdo [Silent Still Mirror World] will return to its original state, so why wouldn’t it be good?”

At her question, Cheonbeom quietly waved his hand, and the water mist cleared away.

Then, what was visible was the same sky and sea as before.

A sea like ink and a red sky.

“Huh? Why is this… huh?”

Ho Jun-seong was dead, so she wondered why that was still there.

“Isn’t he still dead?”

“No, that’s not it.”

He was definitely dead.

However.

“What he left behind is still intact.”

A black and gloomy tree.

Bungma Wood [Collapse Demon Wood] was still there.

‘It’s still intact even in that chaos.’

Rather, the fruits on the tree are incredibly abundant.

It’s just that the fruit looks like an ominous skull.

“Saha, use your hands.”

“Me?”

“I don’t have the energy.”

His eyelids were heavy.

He felt like he was going to collapse at any moment.

Saha looked at Beom’s complexion and nodded.

“Okay.”

Saha immediately took out Gihwaseon [Miraculous Transformation Fan].

The red-embroidered Kirin [Qilin, a mythical hooved creature] was engulfed in flames, and two Hwagirin [Fire Qilin] ran out.

The fire they emitted and their bravery were quite different from before.

‘Did she gain something?’

Or is it thanks to giving her Taecheon Oeyang Singong [Great Heaven Outer Sun Divine Art]? Her Jeokwha [Red Transformation] was quite different from before. It’s like the bluntness has become a little sharper.

It was a beneficial change.

“Ah…”

Saha’s sigh continued.

Her Jeokwha had advanced unlike before, but it was only within the boundaries of Sangseon [Upper Immortal].

The Hwagirin made of Jeokwha disappeared like smoke when it touched Bungma Wood.

Then, Saha, who was angry, operated Taecheon Oeyang Singong to the extreme and created her own sun.

“Stop it.”

But Beom grabbed her hand.

It’s not Bungma Wood that can be dealt with that.

Her strength is not enough.

“But if we can’t do anything about that, won’t everyone here die?”

That’s right.

Perhaps unless they do something about that Bungma Wood, they will not be able to prevent the destruction of Janjankyeongjeongdo.

If such a treasure is destroyed, all the cultivators near it will die.

That is, of course.

Including Cheonbeom and Saha.

“It means don’t waste your strength recklessly. Let’s think. There will be a way. You’ve tested it roughly, so there’s no need to use more strength.”

But it doesn’t seem like there’s much time left. The number of fruits hanging on Bungma Wood is rapidly increasing.

What will happen when all the skull-shaped fruits are opened?

Perhaps nothing good will happen. The moment they all open will be when Janjankyeongjeongdo is destroyed.

He finished thinking, but no suitable solution came to mind.

Cheonbeom had consumed most of his power, and Cheonji Wonki [Heaven and Earth Origin Energy] was gathering due to Tanhan Yeosan, but it was insignificant.

“Saha, create the sun.”

“Okay!”

A small sun of Jeokwha rises above Saha’s hand.

It is still an immature sun.

It has power, but it is clumsy because it does not properly contain the mysteries of the law.

Beom stared at it for a moment and brought his hand under her hand.

Then her sun changes.

The clumsy structure of the law falls into place and precision is created.

“Oh! Beom-ah! The condition is strange!”

But it was then.

As if waiting, the fruits of Bungma Wood began to tremble.

It’s not a good sign.

The skull-like fruit became a grinning shape, then shriveled up and fell off, and suddenly Bungma Wood’s energy began to fluctuate.

“Beom-ah!”

“I know!”

The roots of Bungma Wood jumped out of the sea and created waves.

The huge roots began to spread in all directions, and the branches spread endlessly as if to occupy the sky.

Along with the ominous ghostly cries, the laughter of demons tickled the ears from all directions.

Crack.

‘The sky…’

It’s splitting. Cracks are spreading.

At the same time, Beom sensed it.

‘It’s too late.’

Just as he was thinking that.

Kwaaaang!!

A huge something fell from the sky and crushed Bungma Wood.

“Uwaaaaaak!”

“Keuek!”

Beom and Saha were unable to maintain their balance due to the aftermath and flew away.

Before losing consciousness due to the tremendous air pressure, Beom saw it.

What came down from the sky.

‘…Claw.’

That which looked like a magnificent pillar was definitely the claw of a giant dragon.

It was the appearance of a Sea Dragon.
