Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 76

Tales of Nangseon – Episode 75

“…….”

His head throbbed.

It wasn’t him who turned the Ilwol Gate upside down; it was the Geummyeong Command [a secret group]. He wanted to explain that, but thinking about it, it was a bit ambiguous to say he hadn’t done anything.

He had certainly contributed to the escape of the Geummyeong Command, and he had killed one of the elders there.

“It’s just that those guys used the Geummyeong Command for revenge first, so I….”

That’s when it happened.

Bang!!

A thunderous roar that could shake the heavens and earth struck his ears.

“How can Sawaolang and Jimosha…!”

Jangcheon muttered in surprise.

As he said, it was a wolf that appeared to be Sawaolang and Jimosha, one of the Four Great Clans [powerful families].

Both were revealing their true forms and fighting fiercely.

The golden wolf running freely through the sky and the giant black Imoogi [a mythical Korean serpent-like creature, often considered a proto-dragon].

‘They must have found something.’

Otherwise, there was no way they would be fighting Jimosha out of the blue.

If so, this wasn’t the time to be chatting with Jangcheon.

He had to join her or strike the nearby Masa or base.

Just as Sangoon was about to move after finishing his thoughts.

He paused, seeing a sparrow.

“Eunja!”

It was Sawaolang’s Yoon.

Seeing him fly in panting, he must have found something.

“Did you find it?”

“Yes! Follow me!”

“No, that’s too slow.”

Suddenly, he wrapped his arm around Yoon’s waist.

“Ah!”

“Where are you going! I still have something to…!”

Swish.

Before Jangcheon could grab him.

Sangoon disappeared as if melting into the air.

Jangcheon’s eyes widened as he recognized it as spatial divine power at a glance.

“How can he use spatial divine power….”

But this wasn’t the time to be surprised.

Jangcheon narrowed his eyes and turned into a streak of light, chasing after him.

A moment later.

Sangoon entered the palace with Yoon tucked under his arm. In the sky, the giant Imoogi and wolf were fighting fiercely, but there seemed to be no need to lend a hand.

Sangoon immediately activated Danryeong Geumjeong [a technique or skill] and thoroughly searched the surroundings.

The flow of spiritual energy was visible at a glance, and each color unfolded in a myriad of ways.

“Ugh, Eunja-nim [term of respect]. This is a bit….”

Yoon was flustered, not knowing what to do while tucked under his arm. Sangoon quietly brought his index finger to his lips and concentrated.

Loud noises continued to spread in the sky, and the commoners screamed that the heavens were angry.

It was nothing but chaos.

But soon, he found it.

A smile deepened on Sangoon’s lips.

“Found it.”

He immediately stepped on the roof and jumped up.

After doing that several times, a magnificent building greeted him.

It looked ordinary on the outside, but the ominous demonic energy emanating from it could not be hidden.

“Eunja! This isn’t it! Not this place, but the one we just passed…!”

“No, this is the right place.”

He knows where she’s talking about.

But that’s not it.

It’s just a plausible place.

Thud.

As soon as he landed on the ground, black-clad figures appeared from all directions.

The number was thirteen.

But they didn’t seem human.

“I don’t know who you are, but you can’t take a single step past here.”

Seeing their flicking tongues, it seemed that Jimosha had disguised themselves as humans. Besides, their unique smell wasn’t human either.

One Yeongmyeong [cultivation level].

Twelve Yeonggyeol [cultivation level].

Only then did Sangoon put Yoon down.

“You can take care of yourself, right?”

At his words, Yoon wore a bitter smile.

The numerical disadvantage was clear.

Moreover, in terms of cultivation, Sangoon and Yoon were Yeonggyeol. Originally, they would never have been able to face so many Yuksa [another term for cultivator].

“I don’t think so….”

Even in her bleak words, he curled up the corners of his lips. It was a daunting number for him as well, since there was one Yeongmyeong mixed in.

No matter how many treasures and supreme treasures Sangoon had, it was impossible to face so many at once.

Nevertheless, Sangoon didn’t worry.

Because there was a man flying quickly towards this place.

“Jangcheon!”

At Sangoon’s shout, the Jimosha frowned. Then, behind him, a pure white light streaked across the sky.

Thud.

His appearance with the protective barrier removed was ragged.

But his cultivation could not be ignored. Jangcheon couldn’t hide his sullen face while holding a staff in one hand.

He had followed him because he was suspicious, but the Jimosha were revealing their murderous intent towards him, so how could he not be upset?

“Looking at the situation, it seems like the bad guys aren’t me, but those guys, right? It seems like they ignored the oath and joined hands with the Demonic Path!”

He looked at Sangoon and the Jimosha with an uncomfortable face, then turned his staff and took a stance.

“Is the reason why the Jimosha are doing this because they violated the oath?”

The Jimosha were silent, but their murderous aura was boiling, so that was the answer.

Jangcheon took out a mask from his chest.

It was a wooden mask with a human shape except for the four eyes.

When Jangcheon put it on, the empty four eyes were filled with yellow light.

“Great Tiger! I haven’t erased my suspicion of you! Don’t act rashly!”

Sangoon shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Didn’t I say? All I want is the Blood Collapse Technique [a powerful martial art technique].”

* * *

Kwaaaang!!

Explosions bloomed in the sky.

In the midst of it, a snake’s head popped out and opened its mouth wide.

The sharp fangs gleamed in the sunlight, but that wasn’t the important thing.

A strong light, as if containing the sun, emanated from its mouth and scattered.

At first glance, it resembled a dragon breathing fire from its mouth. The flames it spat out combined with the explosions and turned into intense explosions.

Kwaaaaaang!!

A violent wind raged and the explosions expanded.

Munon moved its three eyes incessantly and flicked its tongue.

Then, a golden light flashed in the dark explosions.

[Is it there!]

As it spat out fireballs again, dozens of fireballs poured down like arrows.

Kwagagagakwang!

But the wolf was nowhere to be seen, and its third eye flashed green.

Munon suddenly twisted its long body violently. Then, the golden wolf that came out through the explosions opened its mouth wide.

The sharp fangs were quite threatening.

It twisted its body, but its speed was faster than expected. Munon’s heart sank and it transformed into a tiny bug.

Kwajak!!

The sound of biting the air was eerie.

The Geummyeong Command cast a regretful gaze, but soon burned with murderous intent. Seeing that, Munon transformed into a human and said.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to leave it like this.”

She looked down at him in the dignified form of a wolf and transformed into a human.

“What?”

“You can’t say you don’t know the situation below. It seems like it’s the princess’s companion…. I don’t know why they’re doing such useless things like moths flying into a fire.”

Munon sneered, looking down at the palace.

She also knows that it’s not.

The opponent is one Yeongmyeong and twelve Yeonggyeol.

Logically, it might seem like they’re going to die.

“Obvious nonsense.”

It must be trying to make her anxious.

It can’t be anything but a cunning snake’s tongue.

“Life is more precious than that Blood Collapse Technique…. Tsk tsk, I feel sorry for you just watching. Why don’t you try to stop them?”

It’s utterly ridiculous.

Until recently, she would have worried too. Because they were in a numerical disadvantage that couldn’t be helped.

But not now.

She’s even fought him.

Even without an unknown Hwanseon [another powerful being], he’ll be able to handle it on his own.

He’s an annoyingly strong guy.

“Just because you have one more eye doesn’t mean you see more, right?”

“…What?”

“No, isn’t that right? Even I, who only has two eyes, can see the guys who will become snake skewers. You have three eyes, but you can’t see an inch ahead.”

“Ha! You’re completely out of your mind…!”

That’s when it happened.

Suddenly, something rapidly soared from the ground.

Munon was startled and dodged, and she also dodged.

Looking at what it was, it was a small tower, spinning around and emitting pure spiritual energy.

It was the Six Spirit Stele Tower she had seen before.

“What is this….”

When Munon was bewildered.

The spinning tower instantly inflated in size.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It made noise and transformed into a tower reaching thirty feet in an instant!

The shimmering light of spiritual energy explained that it was not a simple treasure.

“No way!”

Munon’s face twisted like a demon, but the Geummyeong Command’s face was as bright as the sun.

Seeing Munon’s dumbfounded expression, she sneered as if it was satisfying.

“Did you say I should stop them?”

The Six Spirit Stele Tower began to descend.

“Now that I hear it, that’s right. If I don’t stop you, all your fellow disciples will die!”

Kiaaaaaang!

The Six Spirit Stele Tower fell, creating an intense noise! Seeing that, Munon stamped its feet and spat out curses.

“Damn it!”

Munon was horrified and transformed into its true form, an Imoogi. It must be trying to wrap the tower with its huge body. But she wasn’t going to let that happen. She also transformed into a wolf and blocked it.

[Get out of the way!!]

[Who’s the idiot who would get out of the way just because you told them to!]

Soon, flames spewed from Munon’s mouth, and white smoke spewed from her mouth, mixing with the flames.

Kwaaaang!!

After several explosions and violent winds.

[Damn it!!]

The Imoogi’s mournful voice, unable to block the tower, echoed through the air.

Immediately after.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaang!!

A roar that shook the heavens and earth erupted and enveloped all directions.

The golden wolf biting and twisting the Imoogi’s neck. The Geummyeong Command swallowed a bitter smile as she looked at the Six Spirit Stele Tower that had crashed into the ground and the devastated area.

[He’s a guy who doesn’t know what moderation is.]

Thwack.

The Imoogi, falling powerlessly, swayed and fell with a thud.

Her body also had many wounds, but it was a very satisfying victory.

The only thing she was a little dissatisfied with was that she had received help from Sangoon’s Six Spirit Stele Tower.

If it hadn’t been for that, he wouldn’t have been so shaken.

[Good is good.]

She descended to the ground in human form and clicked her tongue as she looked around.

The palace, which was the country of commoners, was half destroyed, leaving only traces that this was once a palace.

Most of it was swept away by the aftermath of the tower falling, and the rest was crushed by Munon falling.

“Princess!”

Then Yoon appeared from the pile of dirt.

“Where did that guy go?”

“Ah, well. I was also horrified when the tower suddenly fell and barely escaped.”

As she said that and went closer to the tower, a huge pit had formed.

She looked at the bottom in a new way and felt several spiritual energies and figures. It seemed that he had gone down there.

That’s when it happened.

Kuguguung.

Then the ground shook and a small tremor occurred. Yoon and she made eye contact.

“Mu….”

Before Yoon could finish speaking.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Small tremors occurred in succession.

The place of origin was not here.

Earthquakes occurring at a greater distance.

The Geummyeong Command narrowed her brow.

She slightly raised her head.

The sky was already darkening.

It was still a long way from sunset.

Ominous demonic energy soared from several places at a distance that could be seen or not.

Anxiety stirred in her chest.

At that time.

A woman’s voice lingered in her ear.

‘What sound is that.’

The Geummyeong Command’s face darkened rapidly.

Kuuuuung!

It was clearly a bad omen.

She grabbed Yoon’s waist and turned into a white streak of light, leaping into the sky.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaang!!

Soon, something sucked in the ground, and things on the ground collapsed.

That was just the beginning.

Demonic energies from various places were mixed and rapidly gathering.

A thick demonic energy that was even disgusting to breathe.

When she covered her nose with her sleeve.

The woman’s voice was heard again.

It was a laughter.

“Kyahahahahahahahahaha!!”

Bang!

With a small explosion, a streak of dark red light soared into the sky.

A woman fluttering a red robe.

Her cheeks were flushed as if she was excited, and she let out a laugh full of joy.

Her beauty was so beautiful that a man might have been captivated if he saw her, but to the same woman, she was a complete madwoman.

“It’s a mess.”

The Geummyeong Command’s face darkened.

Her pupils shook incessantly.

The woman’s robe that suddenly popped out was not originally red. She was holding a man in her hand.

It was reddened by the blood that the man shed.

And that man.

The Eunja of Sawaolang.

It was none other than Sangoon.
