Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 426

Ha Se-min turned his back.

Clang! Clang!

A battlefield unfolded before him.

His eyes swirled with black.

Kwarururung!

Even the thunder echoed around him.

The situation was not good.

They had caught up to Hwasan a lot, but….

‘In the end, is it time?’

The time Hwasan had reigned as the absolute power was too long.

Also, the True Plum Blossoms and their combat units they had hidden.

Those were perhaps Hwasan’s hidden trump cards that even the Assembly didn’t know about.

‘Is it fortunate that we managed to drag out the hidden ones?’

His swirling gaze followed someone.

Another one still remained….

“……?”

Ha Se-min’s eyes flickered.

Towards his chest.

Thwack!

A sword had pierced through.

“Your finish isn’t good.”

The voice from behind was clearly that of the True Plum Blossom he had just beaten to a pulp.

Kwaang!

Ha Se-min, who had forcefully pushed out the sword embedded in his chest, quickly created distance.

“Kugh!”

A burning pain was felt in his chest.

A pain that made him lose his balance for a moment.

Before Ha Se-min’s eyes.

Glug, glug.

The face of the opponent he had beaten to a pulp was slowly returning to its original state.

“……!”

The higher the level, the more rapidly the recovery ability increases.

Also, the more skilled a master is, the more they can accelerate that recovery using their inner energy.

If the True Plum Blossom was judged to have reached the realm of life and death, it was only natural that he would show an even greater recovery ability.

“This is ridiculous….”

That was impossible.

He had clearly beaten the opponent’s head to a pulp.

To recover from that….

“……!”

At that moment, something flashed through Ha Se-min’s mind.

What Hwasan, or rather the Assembly before them, had been interested in experimenting with.

“The Jiang Shi [a type of reanimated corpse] technique….”

It was a Jiang Shi.

“Just how far have you fallen, Hwasan?”

“Fallen, you say.”

Before he knew it, the opponent’s face had returned to its original state.

“If it is for my Hwasan, how far can I not fall?”

Kaang!

A metallic sound rang out from Ha Se-min’s outstretched hand.

The other True Plum Blossom swordsman who had retreated earlier had appeared and swung his sword.

“Look.”

They said.

“These dangerous seeds are disturbing the Murim [martial arts world], so as a disciple of Hwasan, shouldn’t we purify the evil with our own bodies?”

These guys were more insane than he thought.

The battle situation wasn’t good to begin with.

He thought he had gained some leeway after defeating the True Plum Blossom, but.

“Are you alright?”

It was still too early to determine the situation.

Dang Hwa-young, who had approached, quickly said while giving first aid.

A wound that pierced his chest.

“Look.”

The voice of the True Plum Blossom was heard again towards him.

“Aren’t you also a monster?”

The wound in his chest that had been pierced was already healed.

“Today, we must see the end.”

Ha Se-min stood up and said.

His original intention was to make them retreat if it wasn’t related to Lee Ro-woon.

Koo-oong.

However, he realized once again that Hwasan was not someone he could deal with with such a half-hearted resolve.

Ha Se-min gathered his energy and released it.

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen, who had been talking until now, felt the change happening in Ha Se-min and quickly closed their mouths and raised their swords.

Sweeek!

A sound of tearing through the wind was heard.

Thwack.

An arrow was embedded somewhere between Ha Se-min and the Plum Blossom swordsmen.

And.

“……!”

The eyes of the True Plum Blossom swordsman widened rapidly.

“Dodge!”

The True Plum Blossom swordsman concentrated all his inner energy on his feet and leaped up as if bouncing.

The scene that followed was a huge explosion.

Kuwahhhhh-!

A bright green light burst out, causing a huge explosion that covered the battlefield.

As the light faded and they barely regained their vision, the scene they saw was.

Sweeek-!

A rain of countless arrows that adorned the sky.

Each one was an extreme arrow imbued with strong energy.

Even if they created a protective barrier, they were pierced, and even if they could deflect them, they exploded upon impact, making it a very tricky arrow barrage.

“What is this….”

Some of the Eunha seemed flustered.

However, those who could be called executives were different.

A huge explosion.

And arrows.

Even in that, Eunha was completely fine.

Hwasan was swept away, and in the explosion, one of the True Plum Blossom swordsman’s arms was no longer able to move.

Even so, Ha Se-min’s body, which was in front of the explosion, was not even injured.

‘It’s healed.’

Even the wound on his chest was completely healed.

“What’s going on!”

They would be flustered.

Because they hadn’t seen it, wouldn’t believe it, and would deny it.

But Eunha was different.

“Isn’t there only one person who can do this?”

They smiled calmly.

This was….

“He has come.”

Because it was something that only one person could do.

The rain of arrows that had been pouring down had stopped.

What appeared next was.

“What’s with that look?”

It was, as expected, Lee Ro-woon.

* * *

A puppet appeared between Hwasan and Eunha.

The black swirling thing slowly began to take shape.

Kwaaaaah-!

Soon after, it emitted an enormous energy in all directions.

It was as if time had stopped because of it.

Twitch.

If it weren’t for the first person who barely managed to exhale, they would have really believed it.

“What the….”

Ha Se-min, who spoke next.

“What were you doing?”

He said to the puppet who had appeared with a welcoming face.

It was Lee Ro-woon.

“What’s with that look?”

Even though his body had recovered, Ha Se-min’s appearance was a mess, as if he had been slashed by the True Plum Blossom swordsman’s sword.

Only then did Ha Se-min scratch his cheek as if embarrassed.

Following that, a smile even bloomed on his face.

It was Lee Ro-woon.

It was always like this when Lee Ro-woon appeared.

Even the situations that seemed like they would drive him crazy.

“It’s good that you’re safe. Though you don’t look completely safe.”

When he appeared, it just became a trivial matter.

But this emptiness wasn’t so bad.

“You….”

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen, their eyes began to glow red.

“You’re a Blood Demon!”

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen, who seemed to have gathered all their surprised emotions, rushed in.

Their sword tips were aiming at Lee Ro-woon more sharply and fiercely than when they faced Ha Se-min.

“……!”

It seemed they had more hidden things.

When Ha Se-min twitched and was about to rush out.

Kaang!

A clear metallic sound rang out.

What spread out next was a thick plum blossom scent.

A sharp and sticky plum blossom scent, different from that of the True Plum Blossom swordsmen.

Sway.

When red flower petals covered Ha Se-min’s eyes.

“Whew. I barely caught up.”

A voice was heard from beside Lee Ro-woon.

“……!”

The scene that unfolded was astonishing.

The sight of endless plum blossom branches intertwining and crushing each other.

The sight of red plum blossom branches breaking and burning their plum blossoms.

Also.

Tatatat!

A sound of footsteps shaking the ground was heard.

“I told you not to follow me.”

Along with Lee Ro-woon’s indifferent tone, shadows were approaching.

It was a strange sight in another sense.

Even when masters who had reached a high level used their light footwork, their traces were not very noticeable.

Those who were excellent in light footwork could run on water, and even when running in the desert, not a single grain of sand would scatter.

But that was something that only a master who had truly reached a high level could do.

Taat!

However, even though so many puppets were running, not a single speck of dust was raised.

There was a possibility that they were all masters of that level, but it was a different feeling.

The identities of the puppets that were revealed were.

“……!”

Something that was similar to humans but different, something else.

Ash-colored skin, pointed ears.

He had heard of them.

If you looked through the information from Einheart, they were a subspecies that was said to have existed in ancient times.

“Elves!”

About the elves.

But they were known to be extinct.

Their appearance, riding on huge stags and surrounding all sides.

Glup.

It was impossible not to be nervous.

Their appearance, and even the energy that was felt.

“Monsters…?”

It seemed clear that they were the monsters inside this gate.

But something was different.

Unlike the monsters that rushed in recklessly, they seemed to be moving in a kind of formation, and their target was also clear.

“They are not enemies.”

Lee San-hoo, who had approached, said.

As a strategist, he could see something.

“Seriously.”

Lee San-hoo chuckled as if he was dumbfounded.

“What were you doing here that even monsters are taking your side?”

“Ah!”

Only then did others see it too.

The formation that the elves had created was not to hunt Eunha and Hwasan, but a formation to face Hwasan.

On top of that.

“What kind of sight is that?”

The beings that were revealed between the elves.

Even the one next to Lee Ro-woon.

“Red Plum Blossom and Chung In-woo. It seems it has come to this.”

That Lee Ro-woon had a secret relationship with a high-ranking executive of Hwasan was a top secret that only a few of Eunha’s executives knew about.

Even so, there were those who had noticed the situation, and this was the proof.

“Are you from Hwasan?”

“You must be Chung In-woo.”

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen also said to Chung In-woo, who had blocked their attacks.

Grrrk.

Chung In-woo stepped back as his sword was scratched.

“Yeah, you old geezers who should have died a long time ago. I am Chung In-woo.”

“You….”

The atmosphere of Hwasan changed with the appearance of Chung In-woo.

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen seemed to know their purpose from the beginning, but the others didn’t seem to.

They seemed to be reconsidering.

“…….”

Whether to try it once.

But the answer had already been given.

Swoosh.

They retreated.

It was crazy to clash here.

Even if they had more hidden things, Eunha’s power was not something to be ignored, and the number of masters was also considerable.

Moreover, the Blood Demon they had directly faced.

“I see why we were needed.”

He was truly a terrifying being.

Above all, the elves who had occupied all sides.

The True Plum Blossom swordsmen had intuitively realized that there was something more behind them.

But they did not put down their swords.

“Blood Demon. Will you let us go?”

In this situation, they knew that they needed permission to escape.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon stepped back.

“There’s no need to deal with bugs one by one.”

“…….”

“I’m too fine of a sword to catch bugs.”

At Lee Ro-woon’s words, the True Plum Blossom swordsmen distorted their faces.

“Thank you. I won’t forget this favor.”

“Whether it’s a favor or not, don’t be prideful….”

Hwaaak!

“Get lost.”

It was that moment.

The sun that had been floating in the sky suddenly disappeared.

No.

Swoosh.

It was because the sun was covered by something huge.

Heads that were raised without even realizing it.

“Heok-!”

They were martial artists who were trained to be cold-blooded and not lose their composure in any situation.

They were gaping with their mouths open, showing a defenseless appearance, admiring and marveling.

That thing flying in the sky.

Kwaaaaaah-!

That thing, roaring and howling, was a dragon that seemed to be fear itself.

“That crazy bastard again….”

At Lee Ro-woon’s voice, which seemed dissatisfied.

“What were you really doing here…?”

This time, Ha Se-min, who seemed genuinely flustered, said.
