Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 184

The Three Kings’ Disciple (185)

184

A sensation of floating through a dark space and then emerging.

With that sensation, Lee Ro-woon opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

Intense sunlight burst forth, obscuring his vision. Then, like entering a virtual reality game, terrain features began to appear one by one, and the world was completed.

Lee Ro-woon, having regained his sight, next recovered his hearing.

-Kuhh. Kuhhh.

The sound of phlegm bubbling and ragged breaths reached his ears.

Other than that, there was no sound.

Lee Ro-woon slowly lowered his gaze.

-Kuhhh….

A golden wolf, growling and glaring at Lee Ro-woon.

It was completely bloodied, barely clinging to life.

Next, he saw.

“I’m not too late, am I?”

A hand of white jade, so pale that the veins seemed visible.

“Partisan.”

Partisan was holding Lee Ro-woon’s hand, which had been about to strike down the golden wolf.

“It was perfect timing.”

“Then, that’s a relief.”

During their conversation, the wolf beneath them moved only its eyes, glaring fiercely at the two.

-Partisan…! You bastard….

“Long time no see.”

Partisan approached the wolf’s eyes and grinned.

“Bardante.”

Bardante.

One of the twelve Guardian Dragons of Einheart, and the lord of the Gold Dragons.

“It was you.”

The smile on Partisan’s lips vanished, replaced by a face filled with hostility.

“You sent me here.”

The moment Lee Ro-woon was consumed by chaos, Partisan, following a secret pact with Lee Ro-woon, arrived here riding on Lee Ro-woon’s spirit.

It was possible because he had already lost his physical body, and while moving, he read some of Lee Ro-woon’s memories.

The true purpose of the Zhuge family’s summoning, Bardante.

It was clear that he was the one who opened Partisan’s gate in Japan.

-A traitor of the clan dares to!

“Traitor? What did I do?”

-You showed compassion to lowly monkeys and defied the king’s will! Do you deny that!

At Bardante’s voice, which burst out like a death cry, Partisan’s face regained its calm.

A face searching through memories, as if remembering something.

“So, that’s what you guys thought.”

With a bitter expression, Partisan slowly extended his hand.

-Yes! Kill me! Stain your hands with the blood of our clan! Like that day!

“Do you think…”

Partisan, placing his hand on Bardante’s face, spoke.

“I’m as foolish as you?”

-Kuh!

Lee Ro-woon’s foot pressed down on the wolf’s head.

“If I mess with you more here, your restraints will be released.”

-So, you knew….

“Partisan woke me up at the right time. If not, it would have been quite troublesome.”

If Lee Ro-woon had been completely taken over by chaos and tried to kill Bardante, Bardante’s restraints would have been released.

Bardante, who was not properly summoned, would regain his full power.

If the opponent was a complete Guardian Dragon.

‘I should have fallen deeper into chaos.’

If that had happened, he might never have returned.

-Then what are you going to do!

Bardante shouted like a child.

“I’ll do this.”

The reason Bardante’s restraints were not released was that he was suppressed, but there was nothing that threatened his life.

However, if Bardante was sent back intact, it would hinder future events.

Destroying or absorbing the Dragon Heart would also be perceived as a threat to his life.

Thud!

-Kuh!

Lee Ro-woon inserted his hand into the wolf’s head and began to release his power.

“You’ll have to suffer quite a bit.”

The most potent poison that could be created with the Blood Demon Divine Art flowed through Bardante’s body.

-Ke, ke, keee…. Kehk!

He writhed in pain, his fur standing on end.

Even as he tried to struggle, the paralyzing poison was mixed in, making Bardante even more limp.

It was then.

Kwaang!

A magic circle appeared above their heads.

Lee Ro-woon and Partisan simultaneously kicked off Bardante’s body and moved away.

Kooong!

The light that fell from the magic circle enveloped Bardante and the distance, emitting even more light.

“Dispel won’t work.”

Partisan’s voice.

The magic unfolding before them was not just any magic.

The magic of dragons, the pinnacle of magic, Dragon Language Magic.

Srrr.

For Partisan, who had not yet fully regained his power, it was a level of magic that was impossible to undo.

“Next time we meet, I will chew on your heart.”

Partisan said to Bardante as he disappeared.

-Kuhhh!

Bardante, writhing in pain, could not give any answer and had to disappear.

***

A stream of light poured down from the sky.

The light enveloped those who had fallen and those who were standing.

“Fall back!”

At Mo Yong-hu’s cry, who was emitting flames with both hands, all the martial artists moved back in unison.

It was because it was an order from the family head, and he was the one who knew the most about the magic that was happening now.

“What’s going on?”

Namgung Mu-jin, who was breathing heavily, said, squeezing his burned wounds.

“Space… transfer….”

Mo Yong-hu, who had not studied magic for long, might not know, but as a contractor of a dragon, he knew the identity of the magic as if it were engraved in his head.

“Teleport!”

9th Circle. [A high level of magic]

No, more than that.

Mo Yong-hu’s gaze turned sharply.

“……!”

The same magic circle was falling where Lee Ro-woon was.

“He shouldn’t be able to use magic….”

The Guardian Dragon summoned by the Zhuge family clearly could not use magic.

Perhaps it was because it was not a proper summoning, so there were restrictions.

If the Guardian Dragon they summoned had even been able to use magic, the result would have been different from now.

Then there was only one answer.

“There was another one.”

“What do you mean…?”

“It means another Guardian Dragon was watching the battlefield!”

Good heavens.

Not one, but two.

Still, it was fortunate that.

Gulp.

One of the Guardian Dragons also had a problem and did not participate in the battle.

The teleport was just a magic to extract the Guardian Dragons in the form of golden wolves and the Zhuge family.

Koo Woong!

A huge mana pressed down on the space.

“Kuh… huh.”

Among them, the one who was breathing the most exhausted was also being enveloped by the light of the magic circle, erasing his presence.

The head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Hye.

Standing in front of him were Namgung Cheon and Mo Yong-hwi.

“Fortunately, it seems they weren’t late.”

Zhuge Hye said with a bitter smile.

“Are you running away as a martial artist?”

Namgung Cheon said coldly to him.

“You didn’t even think of us as martial artists.”

Zhuge Hye also did not back down.

“Anyway, the order of the world will be reorganized. There will be minor troubles, but….”

Facing, Lee Ro-woon.

“It’s not a trend that a mere human can resist.”

Zhuge Hye.

He was a person who was revered as a genius of the Zhuge family, called the Divine Zhuge.

He gained many advantages in the war with Einheart with his strategy, and he was the one who greatly supported the silver’s domination of Asia.

“How big of a picture are you looking at?”

The distant picture that Zhuge Hye was looking at.

“It’s a vast world that we, who were trapped in the small world of silver, cannot see.”

His presence was becoming more and more faint.

At this rate, he would completely disappear.

Namgung Cheon and Mo Yong-hu briefly made eye contact.

Nod.

Both of their heads nodded slightly.

Whoosh!

Their feet simultaneously left the ground and headed towards the disappearing Zhuge Hye.

They didn’t know what it was, but they could roughly guess.

Also, they knew that touching or interfering with it was dangerous.

However, they could not just let Zhuge Hye go like this.

“Emperor Sword Form.”

“Heavenly Luck Sword.”

Along with the voices of the two that poured out at the same time.

Slice-!

The space was torn apart.

The falling light and part of the magic circle.

Even Zhuge Hye’s figure within it.

A fine crack appeared, and he was cut in a cross shape.

Pshoo!

Blood poured out from his split face.

Even so.

“That was shallow.”

Zhuge Hye was breathing and glaring at Namgung Cheon and Mo Yong-hwi.

“Next time… we’ll meet again.”

Zhuge Hye, and the survivors of the Zhuge family.

They disappeared with the light.

Faaaaaaang!

With a huge roar like a storm, everyone in the area disappeared.

“Haa. Haa….”

Now, only the exhausted ones remained.

“We won.”

But they were the victors.

* * *

Japan, which they came to because of the Tang family.

However, what was happening here was beyond imagination.

“The Zhuge family has left no trace.”

Lee Ro-woon didn’t have to do the cleanup.

No matter what, the person in charge of Japan was the head of the Namgung family, Namgung Cheon.

On the day the Guardian Dragon descended, the Zhuge family disappeared without a trace.

Even their world.

“Those who remain have all been apprehended.”

But there were also those who were abandoned.

Those who were called heretics even within the Zhuge family.

For example, those like Zhuge Jin-yong, who had a strong martial arts tendency.

“I’ve sent word to the main association, but….”

The disaster that happened in Japan.

Then, of course, there should be some kind of response or announcement, but nowhere could they find any mention of the Zhuge family or the Guardian Dragon.

They were only announcing the descent of Balrog and the damage to the Zhuge family.

“The association will not move.”

Clack.

A chilling sound came from Namgung Cheon’s mouth as he spoke.

“The main association….”

“Wouldn’t have the capacity to handle it… right?”

It was Ha Se-min.

“A truce with Einheart, but not long after, the association has a lot to handle if they were to go to war with them again.”

Especially.

“Those who could be called the elite of the elite have disappeared.”

The disciples of the Hwasan Sect, including Red Plum Blossom and Blue Rain Woo.

Even the main figures of the Beggar Sect, Shaolin, and Jeomchang.

They stopped their external activities and went into seclusion from a certain day.

In the current situation, to fight a full-scale war with Einheart again?

There was too much to lose.

“Everything that happened in Japan has been entrusted to me.”

Cheonhweju, Namgung Cheon. [A title of respect]

After finishing his story, Namgung Cheon smiled as if he was dumbfounded.

When he thought about it, his situation was funny.

He was one of the three pillars of silver, commanding the Namgung family and ruling Asia.

A martial artist of the Life and Death Realm, respected by everyone.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

But now, his situation was like reporting to a superior.

Even more absurd was that Namgung Cheon himself accepted this situation.

“What are you going to do?”

The opponent.

“Maju.”

Lee Ro-woon.

The power, the spirit, the leadership he had shown, all of it.

It was like a brand that would not leave his mind.

“The Guardian Dragon’s matter may be separate from Einheart.”

Finally, Lee Ro-woon opened his mouth.

With an even more tired face.

“Gehenna.”

He spoke of a shocking story as if it were nothing.

“The power that controlled the Namgung family head is from that side.”

Lee Ro-woon looked out the window for a moment.

Things he didn’t know, things that happened without him knowing.

‘A lot was moving.’

Maybe.

‘The other masters might have awakened too.’

He could no longer waste time.

“Let’s start by dealing with the Five Great Families.”

And preparation, and….

‘Master.’

His mind began to clear slowly.

“Dang Hwa-young. Are you ready?”
