Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 166

The Three Kings’ Disciple (167)

166

“Ughhh.”

Everyone began to tremble.

Upon reaching the Hwagyung realm [a cultivation stage where one’s internal energy protects against heat and cold], one enters a state of Hansuhbulchim to some extent, where the internal energy within the body prevents one from being greatly affected by heat and cold.

They are not greatly affected by the four seasons, and it becomes easier to maintain body temperature even in extreme environments.

And when one surpasses Hwagyung and reaches the level of Hyunggyung.

“Achoo!”

They reach perfect Hansuhbulchim. [complete immunity to heat and cold]

Internal energy naturally circulates within the body, expelling heat and preventing the intrusion of cold.

Everyone here was at least at the Hwagyung level, and Ha-semin and Kang Eun-ha were beyond the Hyunggyung, having transcended Talma [a legendary figure in martial arts].

It was a fact that they should not be affected by temperature due to perfect Hansuhbulchim, but.

Shudder, shudder.

They couldn’t control their bodies, which were trembling like aspen leaves.

Crack!

They took a step, lifting their feet that had frozen to the ground.

Even the masters of Hyunggyung were in this state.

“Get a grip! San-ah!”

The state of the Mo-yong warriors, who were at the Hwagyung level, was serious.

Their faces were frozen white, and the cold had penetrated deep into their bodies, freezing them.

Whoosh.

Only after Mo-yong Hoo cast magic on them a few times did they regain their temperature.

Sss.

But the cold did not let them go again.

This is the place.

“…….”

Mo-yong, which once boasted great power and was known to have a similar influence to the Namgung Clan, the head of the current Five Great Clans.

Their world was right here.

“It’s… terrible.”

Ha-semin said.

More than they had imagined.

This was an extreme land where humans could never live.

A white land where everything in the world was frozen.

Trees, land, buildings, everything was frozen.

“……….”

Those who had been stepping forward stopped.

The faces that had hardened due to the cold became even more rigid.

The sight before their eyes now.

“This is it.”

Mo-yong Hoo said in a miserable voice.

“The downfall of Mo-yong….”

Kang Eun-ha added to his words at the sight.

The reason why the powerful Mo-yong had to fall in a single moment.

Saaah.

Everything is frozen.

As mentioned, trees, land, and even buildings.

And.

“Hh, hhhuhuh.”

A Mo-yong family warrior finally couldn’t hold back and sobbed.

The misery washed over him at the sight of the world they hadn’t seen because they had firmly blocked the door.

A world frozen white.

“We greet the elders of the family.”

Mo-yong Hoo said, making a small fist salute.

Before him were full of ice stones, frozen solid.

Inside, people with different faces and expressions were trapped.

***

The gate fusion device created by the Dang Clan.

Dang Hwa-young knew that all of it had failed, but.

“In the end, the Dang Clan completed several products.”

Not failures, but completed works.

They had succeeded in merging the gates.

“However, the conditions were tricky. The world’s wavelengths had to match, and the scale of the world….”

In the end, the Dang Clan succeeded in creating the gate fusion device, but its usage conditions were very tricky.

That’s why mass production was stopped.

But the time to use it had come.

-Ice Dragon Patirjan.

One of the twelve guardian dragons of Einheart.

They had to take it out to face a transcendent species that was beyond the word disaster.

What they initially wanted was the sealing of Patirjan.

To confine it within a merged world.

“Do you know what the Dang Clan was most concerned about when creating the gate fusion device?”

Mo-yong Hoo said, looking at Dang Hwa-young.

She, wearing several thick jumpers, nodded and replied.

“The superiority of the world….”

“That’s right.”

When gates merge, maintaining the world that will be the main one.

If only that was possible.

“As you know, the owner of the world receives a correction effect. In their own world, they can exert greater power.”

Those born in that world receive a correction in that world.

The Blood Cultists can exert greater power in the Blood King’s Castle than outside, and the Wudang can also exert greater power in the Wudang world than on Earth.

The difference is very significant and large.

Therefore.

“If it merges with the Ice Dragon’s world and gains priority in the world….”

They might have thought it was possible to defeat that enormous being.

“Also, although it is not known, there are more advantages to the superiority of the world.”

The Dang Clan’s research.

The Five Great Clans were not excluded from it.

They provided great support to the Dang Clan and helped their research.

“Subordination.”

When Lee Ro-woon said that, Mo-yong Hoo’s eyes twitched.

“…You know.”

“To permeate the world. It’s when a lower world is incorporated into a higher world.”

The world of Do-cheon absorbed by the Blood King’s Castle and the Armo of Bonde-no, etc.

When a lower world is incorporated.

“The one set as the master of the world has a certain degree of coercive power.”

Kang Han-cheol, the Blood Cult Lord.

He was now the main keeper of the Blood King’s Castle.

It was a form where several keepers existed under him.

‘Kang Han-cheol holds the power of life and death over them.’

That was possible.

However, it was proven that this was a special form of Lee Ro-woon’s world.

It was a fact confirmed by looking at Wudang and other worlds.

“How… how do you know that.”

Mo-yong Hoo was surprised.

But he soon nodded.

“That’s right. There are still unknown secrets in the fragmented world. The Dang Clan and Eun have been continuing their research on it.”

In the end.

“They tried to merge the worlds and control Patirjan.”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“Among the Five Great Clans, the place with the matching world wavelength and the most suitable place? Or it must have been decided through consultation to be Mo-yong.”

“Mo-yong….”

Mo-yong Hoo said.

“Was struggling to maintain a huge world.”

A particularly large world.

“If they could use Patirjan’s power, Mo-yong wouldn’t have to use a lot of power to maintain the world, so they volunteered.”

And this was the result.

Crack.

The world had frozen over.

Even if the world could be maintained, it had become a land where life could not live.

Even at this moment, the party’s internal energy was flowing out like water.

The moment this internal energy hits the bottom.

‘They will freeze.’

Everyone would freeze.

“The Four Great Clans no longer supported Mo-yong. They failed to use Patirjan’s power, and if it became known that Patirjan was here….”

“The battlefield with Einheart would turn into this place.”

The Five Great Clans hid the truth.

Everything that Mo-yong had experienced.

“They only opened a small breathing hole where they could barely live, and they bought time by promising to return Mo-yong someday. For them.”

“If they even eliminated Mo-yong’s hope, Patirjan’s identity might be revealed… that’s probably why.”

Kang Eun-ha.

Now she understood the whole situation.

Mo-yong Hoo had a relieved face.

He, as the head of the family who had to take responsibility for the Mo-yong Clan, was in pain over the hopeless future.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about defecting to Einheart, but even the peace negotiations between Einheart and Eun had progressed.

Mo-yong was in a position where they had no choice but to be abandoned.

The days he had been sharpening his sword alone.

Lee Ro-woon had appeared before him.

“Jincheon, Blood Demon, Heavenly Demon.”

The identities Lee Ro-woon had revealed.

“If it was just that, I wouldn’t have joined hands.”

Eun’s power could not melt the world that Patirjan had frozen.

“What you showed me.”

Lee Ro-woon showed it on the spot.

The circle shining in his chest.

An immeasurable level of mana that even Mo-yong Hoo, who had learned magic, could never understand.

“Can you do it?”

A question of whether he could melt the world.

Before and after seeing it directly were different.

Lee Ro-woon was confident, but Mo-yong Hoo knew.

‘Patirjan.’

Having seen the power of the inhuman, the heavenly beyond the heavens, he knew that it was almost impossible for a human being to overcome that power and accomplish something.

Even if Lee Ro-woon said it was impossible, Mo-yong Hoo had no intention of resenting him.

The world had already been frozen for too long.

Patirjan’s ice was not just about taking away body temperature.

It sucked away its vitality and lowered the world’s temperature further.

This was the power that could be called a true disaster.

“…….”

Mo-yong Hoo smiled bitterly, looking at Lee Ro-woon, who had no answer.

“I guess there’s no other way.”

He seemed to think that Lee Ro-woon’s face was saying it was impossible.

It was a fight with no answer anyway, no matter how much they endured.

It was better this way.

Now he would give his all to fight with himself and….

“I can do it.”

“……!”

“But before that, I need to meet him.”

“…….”

Mo-yong Hoo closed his eyes for a moment.

“I will guide you.”

Mo-yong Hoo, who was leading the way, continued to speak.

“To my teacher.”

* * *

They passed through the frozen territory of the Mo-yong Clan.

And what appeared was a huge iceberg.

As if crossing a boundary line, a completely different world unfolded along a strangely connected line.

An iceberg towering high in a white world where nothing existed.

Swoosh.

Mo-yong Hoo stretched out both hands.

“…….”

He began to chant a spell.

As his voice continued, bright mana gathered in the air, as if drawing a picture.

“Fire Wall.”

The magic was finally activated.

Whoosh!

Once again, pillars of fire soared and bloomed in all directions.

Fwoosh, fwoosh.

However, the wall of fire began to lose its shape due to the swirling cold.

The time that Mo-yong Hoo’s magic would last seemed shorter than expected.

“We can’t go any further from here.”

Mo-yong Hoo said.

“Would the rest of you please wait here? If the wall of fire shrinks to less than half, you must leave this place without hesitation.”

Those who were forbidden to go forward looked at Lee Ro-woon.

Lee Ro-woon.

Swoosh.

He raised one arm and spread his five fingers like a fan.

Trickle.

Wounds spontaneously appeared on his fingertips, and the drops of blood that seeped out stopped and changed shape.

The shape of long, sharp needles.

The moment Lee Ro-woon folded his fingers.

Whoosh!

Five blood needles were shot straight into the wall of fire created by Mo-yong Hoo.

Fwee.

For a moment, the wall of fire seemed to have completely lost its power and trembled.

Whoooooosh!

The very next moment, it was spewing out even hotter flames as if nothing had happened.

The wall of fire was burning higher and hotter.

Also, it didn’t seem like it would go out easily.

“…….”

Leaving behind the flustered Mo-yong Hoo, Lee Ro-woon said.

“It won’t take long. Until then, don’t worry and wait.”

Everyone nodded at his calm voice.

“Let’s go now.”

“……Alright.”

Mo-yong Hoo smiled slightly.

“The head of the Mo-yong family has completely become a mage.”

Lee Ro-woon clicked his tongue and said.

Mo-yong Hoo’s eyes were similar to those when looking at a high-ranking martial artist.

It was similar to the awe felt when seeing the mystery of a realm one could not reach.

“What is the difference between magic and martial arts?”

It was a story that would have made the warriors of Eun horrified if they had heard it.

“Well, that’s true.”

It was too obvious a sound for Lee Ro-woon.

Before they knew it, the two were standing in front of the iceberg.

And Mo-yong Hoo said.

“Teacher, your unworthy disciple has come to see you.”

At his voice.

Kooong!

The iceberg began to shake.

A huge roar echoed from within.

-What on earth have you brought?
