Disciple Of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 176

The Partisan was bound to this world.

Originally possessing the power of a guardian dragon, the Partisan was greatly restricted from leaving this world.

That was the reason.

Swoooosh.

If it couldn’t go out, it had to be drawn in.

“Monkeys from another world have come without knowing their place.”

They suspected the Partisan’s identity but weren’t certain.

That was because the Partisan was Ainhardt’s guardian dragon, a calamity that nearly annihilated the Mooyong family.

Mooyong had left his position, and those who remained lured the enemies into this world.

And what they saw.

“Die.”

It was a blizzard as cold as the North Sea.

The Partisan sat leisurely on a large iceberg, gesturing towards them.

Those who were led by the Mooyong family.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

They had to experience their entire bodies freezing without being able to do anything.

‘They lost their physical bodies.’

To a dragon, a physical body had more value than one might think.

It was like a martial artist having their dantian [energy center] destroyed.

However.

-Don’t worry.

Lee Ro-woon said.

“Indeed, it’s true.”

In this world, the Partisan could use at least half of its former power.

And with just that half.

Crack!

It was enough to deal with the enemies.

Scores, hundreds.

“What…!

The Namgoong family’s martial artists who rushed into the Mooyong family’s world through the gate all froze.

Like the Mooyong family, they became living ice sculptures, unable to move a single finger.

The only things that could move were their two eyes.

But even those slowly stopped moving.

Thud.

The Partisan jumped off the iceberg and stepped onto the ground.

“Is this all?”

A voice directed at the panting Mooyong family martial artist.

“Y-yes, it is.”

The Mooyong family martial artist, recalling what they had experienced, spoke in terror.

“There’s no need to be so afraid.”

The Partisan said, passing by the Mooyong family martial artist.

“Can’t you feel it? My coldness has no intention of harming you.”

“Th-thank you.”

“The thanks.”

Smirk.

“Give it to that monster…”

The Partisan stood in front of one of the Mooyong family’s ice sculptures and slowly extended its hand.

Clatter.

An ice gauntlet rose on its forearm.

“To… the disciple.”

It was the moment it touched the Namgoong family’s ice sculpture.

Crack!

The ice sculptures that filled the area shattered in an instant, turning into dust and scattering.

They were white and frozen, and also red and beautiful snowflakes.

-You don’t need a physical body for revenge, right?

He had thought it was just nonsense.

“So, the first revenge is somewhat over?”

In any case, revenge against the Five Great Families who had brought him shame.

It seemed like he could be satisfied with this much.

The smile that had appeared on the Partisan’s lips slowly began to fade.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but there was a feeling that something was twisted.

“Somehow…”

The Partisan’s voice echoed, buried in the fading blizzard.

“It feels ominous.”

But there was nothing he could do.

The Partisan, who wasn’t even allowed to leave the world, could only wait.

“Well, since that monster is there, I guess it doesn’t matter.”

***

“Ice Bomb.”

The moment Mooyong Hu’s incantation was completed.

KWA-BOOM!

A pure white sphere exploded, scattering thousands of fragments.

“Cough!”

“Ugh!”

“Damn it! What is this!”

The players who were trying to form a formation had their formation collapse with that one attack.

‘A mage.’

This was the power of a mage.

Unlike martial artists who specialized in one-on-one combat, mages specialized in one-to-many combat.

Strategic weapons.

“Ice Bomb! Ice Bomb! Ice Bomb!”

It was said that if the level and situation were right, they could face a nation alone.

KWA-BOOM! BOOM! KWA-BOOM!

Mooyong Hu was displaying the true nature of a mage without reservation.

Before meeting Lee Ro-woon, he had reached the 7th Circle, the realm of seven rings.

In terms of martial artists, he was at the level of Hwagyung, a ranker.

But after meeting Lee Ro-woon.

“Blizzard.”

Mooyong Hu’s abilities blossomed.

As his contract with the Partisan became stronger, the energy of the dragon heart within him grew stronger.

His circle was no longer seven rings.

‘Eight.’

Swoooosh!

A blizzard raged with dark clouds.

“You can’t avoid it! Stop…”

The players who were shouting began to freeze.

Originally, he mainly used fire magic, but that was because he had mainly practiced that area to melt the frozen Mooyong family.

But now that the Mooyong family had melted, Mooyong Hu no longer needed to stick to fire magic.

No matter what anyone said.

“So, you’re the contractor of the Partisan.”

The dragon he contracted with was the Ice Dragon, the Partisan.

That was what could maximize the efficiency of Mooyong Hu’s magic power and circle.

“How foolish.”

Mooyong Hu said in a low voice.

“You dare to draw your swords without properly recognizing your opponent, pay for your sins with death.”

Red eyes.

“The side effects are severe.”

Lee Ro-woon shook his head at the sight.

“Endlessly wandering in the cold of the North Sea…”

“What is that?”

Ha Se-min, who had taken down a few players, approached and said.

“That gentle person is acting like a chuunibyou [a Japanese term for someone with delusional, often grandiose, behavior]…”

“Side effects.”

Ha Se-min nodded at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

“It’s a pity for a young person.”

Ha Se-min, who said that, also jumped into the battlefield.

Thanks to Mooyong Hu playing his part, the Mooyong family was advancing through the battlefield like a bulldozer.

“They’re called players who have learned martial arts, but…”

This time, Kang Eun-ha approached and said.

“Their martial arts aren’t perfect. It seems they’ve only improved their movements or reduced the delay.”

Her sword was also dripping with blue blood.

“But if the Blood Demon touches it… it’ll be perfect…”

Kang Eun-ha moved forward again.

Indeed, as she said, the Namgoong family’s players were showing a strength that was incomparable to ordinary players.

Also, they had far more rankers than reported, thanks to whatever they had done.

But that was it.

Crack!

The opponent was too strong.

The players couldn’t stop the Mooyong family and the elite of the Blood Cult.

But there was something obvious.

“This isn’t all.”

“Is it your turn this time?”

Namgoong Mu-jin approached and said.

He seemed very surprised by the power of Mooyong Hu, the Mooyong family, and Eun-ha.

But even so, he was not letting his guard down, but rather increasing it.

“The Namgoong family…”

The young lord of the Namgoong family.

“This is not all we have.”

Namgoong Mu-jin’s pride.

“Kuh!”

Kang Eun-ha was pushed back and groaned.

“Uncle…”

Namgoong Mu-jin said, recognizing the opponent.

“Mu-jin. Have you betrayed the family?”

Namgoong Soo.

He said, unfolding a blue sword aura.

The martial artists in blue uniforms began to appear behind him.

Now the real deal had appeared.

“Ice Bomb!”

Indeed, Mooyong Hu took immediate action.

With appropriate magic.

“Blizzard!”

He intended to drive back the intruding Namgoong family by using a large magic spell.

The blizzard began to rage.

Mooyong Hu had a deep smile on his lips, as if he was sure of victory.

“The ruthlessness of the Mooyong family can never be overcome, even by the Namgoong family.”

But Lee Ro-woon’s eyes were narrowed.

Fwoosh.

The blizzard subsided.

The Namgoong family’s martial artists, who should have been frozen, were.

“How!”

They were standing perfectly fine, and even building their formation more firmly.

Whoosh.

The aura rising from their bodies was unusual.

“Listen, Namgoong family.”

Namgoong Soo, who was at the forefront, said.

“I permit the use of divine weapons.”

Whoooom!

The flow of air began to change.

The Namgoong swords began to emit a light that was even more intense than the light of the sword aura.

It was before that momentum grew even larger.

“Ice Blizzard!”

To break that flow, Mooyong Hu squeezed his magic power and unleashed a spell.

Dark clouds filled the sky.

It was just when sleet began to fall.

“It’s useless.”

Namgoong Soo’s sword cut through the air, firing a sword aura.

Clang!

The moment it emitted a blue light as if it had collided with something.

“M-magic…!

Mooyong Hu’s magic was canceled.

This was it.

The reason why the silver-clad martial artists had gained the upper hand against the mages, who were called strategic weapons.

That was.

“Experienced martial artists don’t use large magic spells easily.”

Murtial artists who had reached a certain level could feel the flow when magic was being formed and had the ability to cut off that flow.

The only way to stop that was to complete the casting before the martial artist moved, or to simultaneously deploy a protective magic spell to protect the magic.

That was something that could be supplemented by experience and genius, not the number of circles.

‘Mooyong Hu is still lacking.’

Mooyong Hu was lacking.

“Namgoong Soo. You’re quite good.”

It was too easy for the Namgoong family’s martial artists who had stood on the battlefield with Ainhardt for a long time.

The Mooyong family’s advance stopped.

Clang!

The battle continued, but rather, it seemed that the Mooyong family was being pushed back.

“Divine weapons…!

Kang Eun-ha’s voice pierced through.

It was almost the first time she had experienced a proper silver divine weapon.

Especially a perfectly tuned divine weapon.

Clang.

Kang Eun-ha retreated again.

“Hah… Hah…”

She breathed heavily.

“It’s a useless effort.”

Namgoong Soo said to her.

“The Namgoong family’s divine weapon, Azure Sky, absorbs the opponent’s inner energy and amplifies its power.”

The limit depends on the quality of the divine weapon and the level of the martial artist.

“Uncle Namgoong Soo… at least five times.”

The level of Geumgye [a high level in martial arts].

“It shows that much amplification rate.”

Namgoong Soo’s power, a master of Hyeon-gyeong [another high level in martial arts], was amplified five times.

Of course, it didn’t increase the mysteries or understanding of martial arts, but.

Swoosh!

That level of difference created a certain flow that could not be defied.

The Namgoong family armed with divine weapons.

On the other hand, Eun-ha and the Mooyong family did not have proper divine weapons.

The gap was.

‘It won’t be easy even if I release the restrictions.’

The Mooyong family had not yet fully drawn out the dragon’s blood, and most of their forces had not even mastered the Blood Arts.

“I’ll buy some time…”

Namgoong Mu-jin tried to step forward, but.

Step.

It was Lee Ro-woon who stepped forward first.

Drip. Drip.

Since when?

“Blood…?”

Blood was flowing from Lee Ro-woon’s forearm.

Drip.

It collided with the pool of blood on the floor, creating ripples.

“There’s no point in dragging out time any longer.”

Lee Ro-woon, who had been watching until now.

‘I don’t understand.’

Why the Namgoong family made this choice.

-Please help us.

Namgoong Mu-jin also said that he did not understand the family head’s choice at all.

Even if they didn’t join hands with Lee Ro-woon, there was no need to immediately become hostile and unfold the Azure Sky Unrestrained Sword Formation.

‘Something.’

An ominous feeling.

“There’s something.”

They shouldn’t be given more time.

“From now on, I’ll open the way.”

Lee Ro-woon said, standing in front of Namgoong Soo.

Standing there was not only Namgoong Soo but also the Namgoong family’s pride, the Azure Sky Sword Unit.

But they didn’t know.

“Everyone, don’t fall behind.”

What the pool of blood under their feet meant.

Fwoooosh!

What the Blood Demon was.
