Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 168

The Three Kings’ Disciple (169)

168

Let’s summarize the situation.

The Five Great Families used a gate fusion device, merging Partisan’s world with Mo-yong’s world.

However, due to the unstable fusion device, an accident occurred.

“Partisan, unable to control the Guardian Dragon’s power, went berserk, freezing himself and everything else in the world.”

Nod, nod.

“As a result, Partisan fell into an indefinite seal, and because Partisan froze Mo-yong, they cannot be thawed.”

Nod, nod, nod.

“Mo-yong Hoo, whose dantian [energy center] was damaged, was able to survive because he was working for the guild, and after becoming the head of the family, he returned to the world and heard Partisan’s voice.”

Nod!

“And made a contract with Partisan.”

“That’s right.”

“Indeed.”

Mo-yong Hoo and Partisan nodded simultaneously.

“The content of that contract….”

The commonality between Partisan and Mo-yong Hoo.

It meant they were both people who had lost everything.

Partisan needed a way to awaken his sleeping body, and Mo-yong Hoo had to revive the frozen Mo-yong family.

Neither was an easy task.

‘Partisan of Einheart.’

He had to join hands with the kin of those who had harmed him.

“…….”

For Mo-yong Hoo, it was even more than that.

Not only did he make a promise to release the Guardian Dragon of Einheart, who was hostile to Eun, but he also had to use their power instead of martial arts.

That was also a betrayal of Eun.

‘The Five Great Families.’

It was also a betrayal of the Five Great Families, who boasted a strong bond.

“Well….”

Lee Ro-woon nodded.

“It’s not that strange.”

The Five Great Families were the ones who ruined Mo-yong like this.

Although Mo-yong was also partly responsible for Partisan’s seal, the Five Great Families abandoned Mo-yong and did not help.

Mo-yong Hoo’s gaze.

‘I wasn’t wrong.’

It wasn’t wrong for Lee Ro-woon to seek him out.

The resentment and anger deep within.

And.

Smirk.

Betrayal.

“I understand.”

He could understand Mo-yong Hoo.

And another thing that was strange.

“Even if Partisan’s seal is released, he will not join the Einheart camp.”

Mo-yong Hoo said.

Even though he was filled with betrayal, releasing Partisan would not be an easy decision.

“Also, Partisan has promised to only carry out appropriate revenge.”

The Guardian Dragon’s rage would engulf all of Japan.

Although he had a desire for revenge against the Five Great Families, Mo-yong Hoo, who was still somewhat weak-hearted, could not help but feel guilty about a massacre unless he was a psychopath.

“Because Partisan’s enemy is elsewhere.”

“Einheart.”

It was Partisan.

“I promise, I must defeat my enemies in Einheart.”

It was funny.

“Those who have lost the rules of their kin and the pride of the Guardian Dragon, those who serve what should not be served and accept what should not be accepted….”

In his fiercely frozen eyes, he saw something all too familiar.

“They are my kin.”

Betrayal.

Both Mo-yong Hoo and Partisan shared the same feeling.

“It is no coincidence that the gate to my world opened here.”

He is a dragon.

The strongest race, known to be able to face the world alone.

Among them, he was an Ancient, the best, and a Guardian Dragon.

“They opened the gate to my world here.”

He was betrayed.

He was nothing more than a discarded chess piece.

That was how the two betrayed souls came together to create this scene.

They were gradually increasing Mo-yong Hoo’s magical abilities and trying to melt Partisan’s body.

“But there’s a problem….”

“Time.”

Partisan interrupted Mo-yong Hoo.

“I don’t have much time left. I can feel it. My body’s limit is near.”

“What do you mean by near?”

“Mana’s rampage.”

Mana’s rampage.

“A disaster that cannot be stopped by the gate will come.”

“That shouldn’t matter, right?”

He is a dragon.

“Mana’s rampage won’t do anything to you. Even if everything is destroyed, you can recover soon, can’t you?”

Mo-yong Hoo bit his lip at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

“No.”

However, a firm answer came from Partisan.

“It goes against the contract.”

“……Master.”

“My rampage may set me free, but it will make the recovery of the Mo-yong family, which I promised Mo-yong Hoo, impossible.”

Mo-yong Hoo’s fist trembled.

“I knew that guy was in a hurry. Then, when a strange being like you appeared, he must have brought you here.”

Partisan overlooked Mo-yong Hoo’s rash actions.

“Something’s mixed in.”

“Hmm?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Lee Ro-woon looked at the two of them.

A strange relationship.

A strange sense of kinship.

“I thought you’d be just okay to use.”

Lee Ro-woon said with a smile.

“I like you.”

***

“Is it possible?”

Partisan said with an expectant look.

“Is it possible?”

Mo-yong Hoo was the same.

Lee Ro-woon was looking at the dragon’s body trapped inside the huge mountain.

“Hmm.”

Neither Mo-yong Hoo nor Partisan had ever been this hopeful.

However.

‘If it’s this person.’

For Partisan, Lee Ro-woon was a special being.

When he first saw him, he clearly felt the aura of an adversary that could not be tolerated in this world.

And what followed was the aura of a kin that was hateful but could not be rejected.

Now.

‘I don’t know.’

Honestly, he didn’t know.

He could only be sure that he was not a being of a lower level than himself.

Throb.

He had sensed that something was wrong with his mind after his body was frozen.

In any case, the important thing was that this person was the one who would fulfill what he and Mo-yong Hoo wanted.

‘If it’s this person.’

Mo-yong Hoo was the same.

The Five Great Families were monitoring his every move, trying to prevent him from contacting the outside world by revealing Partisan’s affairs.

He had to be pure and foolish amidst their checks.

Nevertheless, he listened to outside information, and there were those who helped him.

‘Eunha.’

He had heard all the stories.

The story of Eunha’s special guild member and Eunha’s rapid growth.

And.

‘Hidden stories.’

Even the lesser-known backstories.

Lee Ro-woon, his very existence was a storm covering the entire Eun.

Who in the world was he, Jincheon, Blood Demon, or Cheonma [Heavenly Demon]?

Also, this person is special.

‘He recognized it.’

He was not just a high-ranking Eun master with high martial arts skills.

He clearly recognized his hidden magical state and abilities.

Moreover, he was a man recognized by Partisan, who despised humans.

“Hmm….”

He finally opened his mouth.

“It’s possible.”

“Oh!”

“Really?”

They couldn’t contain their joy.

“But.”

However, their faces darkened at the words that followed.

“It will take too long.”

It will take too long.

“I guess so.”

It was Partisan.

“The mana of my body is spread out to protect my body. That mana is enough to freeze the entire world.”

Even for the same Guardian Dragon, it was an authority that could not be easily broken.

From the beginning.

“…….”

Although he had made a contract with Mo-yong Hoo, he had not even thought that it would be possible.

At that time, he just needed a way to escape, and he just felt a strange sense of affection.

“Then….”

Mo-yong Hoo bit his lip.

The fact that time was running out was like a death sentence for his family.

“Is there a way….”

A trembling voice.

“Calm down, Mo-yong Hoo. Don’t be swayed by your emotions.”

When Partisan grabbed him, Mo-yong Hoo nodded.

“It’s impossible with ordinary methods. Not at my current level.”

It was difficult to melt this iceberg.

“I think it will be possible if I reach the next stage, but it will take at least a month.”

“Hah, a month?”

“Are you saying a month?”

The words that it was impossible lingered in their mouths.

“But the problem is that I can’t last a month.”

“…….”

“The mana rampage is about two weeks away.”

“That, that’s accurate.”

“And.”

Lee Ro-woon’s gaze turned to Mo-yong Hoo.

“Since you’ve declared war, they’ll make a move too.”

The Five Great Families.

They would think that since he had come to the Mo-yong family, they would do something.

Whatever it was, it could be dangerous for them.

If they were careless.

“They already know where the Mo-yong family’s gate is. Even if we hide here, they can break in….”

If the gate was forcibly opened and countless warriors entered.

“The mana rampage will accelerate.”

Partisan’s body would react to external intruders and accelerate the rampage.

It was the worst for Mo-yong Hoo.

Clench.

“Isn’t there any way…?”

A desperate voice followed.

“I’ll do anything.”

It was an appeal to both Partisan and Lee Ro-woon.

“They are my family. I am the head of the Mo-yong family. Although the previous head of the family did not recognize me, I have a duty to take responsibility for the family.”

So.

“For the sake of the family… I will do anything.”

His firm will could be felt.

And.

“Mo-yong Hoo.”

Lee Ro-woon’s low and languid voice followed.

“Shall I tell you a way to survive?”

A whisper.

It was a voice that was too sweet.

* * *

There was no way.

Since the Martial King Master’s power used the body, he did not have the ability to melt the iceberg.

Even if it was possible, it would take an endless amount of time.

The only way was.

‘The Ring of the Emperor.’

The Ring of the Emperor that the Sword King Master had taught him.

The current stage was the Wood King’s stage.

To melt Partisan, he had to reach at least the Water King’s stage perfectly.

He had entered the Water King’s stage due to the incident in Wudang, but it was not easy to reach perfection.

Vast mana, and time to absorb it.

‘The former is possible, but the latter is the problem.’

If it was the mana of Partisan that was abundant in this world, he could fully master the Water King’s stage.

However, there was not enough time to absorb it.

“Guardian Dragon.”

The power of that being was beyond imagination.

The strongest masters of the Life and Death Realm that he had seen in the current Eun.

It was a level that could not be compared to them.

He could feel the power of a transcendent being that protected the world.

“I want to give endless applause to the ignorance and courage of the Five Great Families who tried to hunt this.”

But it was not impossible.

Smirk.

The Guardian Dragon of Einheart.

And the Mo-yong family, who had competed with the Namgoong family in the Five Great Families.

It was a way to have both.

“I wonder if Master would find this interesting.”

He was going to do it.

Lee Ro-woon muttered to himself.

The two of them were just watching him.

Goo-oong.

The energy that poured out rapidly from Lee Ro-woon’s body pressed down on the surroundings.

“What are you trying to do!”

Partisan’s shout.

“What….”

Mo-yong Hoo was completely crushed by the power and could not even speak, kneeling on both knees.

Goo-oong!

The pressure around them became even more intense.

Crack, crack, crack!

The iceberg began to distort and crack.

“It’s impossible to subordinate the gate to me right now.”

The dungeon’s core had become blurred as the two worlds merged unstably.

However, Lee Ro-woon was able to find out where the dungeon’s core was while talking to them.

“So there’s no other way.”

“I asked what you were doing!”

Swish, swish, swish!

Ice shards poured down.

Ignoring it, the iceberg broke once again.

The core of the dungeon existed in the strongest being in this dungeon.

“Partisan.”

Lee Ro-woon said, looking at Partisan.

“Your revenge, your duty, that’s all you need to solve, right?”

“So what…!”

“You don’t need a body for that, do you?”

Blood-red wings began to spread behind Lee Ro-woon.
