The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 486

“Uncle! Just a moment!”

Beom Gyewi, who had stopped dead in his tracks, looked at Dan Akseon with a puzzled expression.

“Why? If we just knock this down, he’ll crawl out on his own, won’t he?”

Dan Akseon shook his head and began to carefully examine his surroundings with a serious look.

After a moment of doing so.

“This is…….”

Dan Akseon recalled information he had once obtained from the Three Evil Twin.

“Could it be that she completed it alone?”

“Completed? What are you talking about?”

Dan Akseon’s eyes grew heavy at Cho Akryang’s question.

“A formation.”

Cho Akryang nodded at Dan Akseon’s explanation that Cheonui was preparing a formation isolated from the outside to confine the Four Evils.

“In that case, the Four Evils has either already fled or is still inside… It must be one of the two.”

However, there was still no way to grasp the situation inside the formation.

“I think we need to approach this carefully.”

If Cheonui had inherited Takyoshin’s legacy, then the formation before them would surely possess extraordinary power.

Dan Akseon circled the pavilion, calmly examining the elements that made up the formation.

While he was deep in thought.

Someone arrived late.

“The suppression of Gwangseongchae is complete. I couldn’t find any trace of the Four Evils anywhere.”

It was Jegal San.

He, too, seemed to have noticed the formation installed in the pavilion.

His gaze, examining every nook and cranny with interest, was not much different from Dan Akseon’s.

“The fact that the formation has been activated means that someone has entered it.”

At Jegal San’s words, Dan Akseon asked back.

“Did Cheonui succeed?”

“No one can know until we dismantle the formation. But…….”

Jegal San’s expression darkened.

He had already checked the blueprint of the formation.

If the formation was completed according to that design, dismantling it would be impossible.

After agonizing over how to find a way, Jegal San opened his mouth after some time had passed.

“I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

Unless Guisu [a legendary strategist or tactician] came back to life on the spot, or Cheonui, the person who created it, there was absolutely no way to completely dismantle the formation.

“Then there’s only one option left.”

Jegal San’s expression, which had been curious at Dan Akseon’s words, quickly hardened.

“If it can’t be dismantled, then we have to destroy it.”

The formation before them was meant to confine a master.

As such, it was impossible to destroy it from the inside, no matter what means were used.

However, it was not immune to shocks from the outside.

“But…….”

Jegal San trailed off, but Dan Akseon could fully guess what he was going to say.

If the formation collapsed, the people inside would not be safe either.

Dan Akseon smiled and opened his mouth.

“I’ll go inside.”

Everyone looked at Dan Akseon with surprised eyes.

After a moment of doing so.

“Doctor Dan, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Cho Akryang also nodded, dissuading Dan Akseon.

“Have you forgotten what happened to you when you went into the formation alone last time? Absolutely not.”

Before he knew it, Han Seolhwa was blocking Dan Akseon’s path.

He felt an unspoken will that he would not allow him to enter under any circumstances.

Dan Akseon made a troubled expression at the sight.

But soon, he began to persuade the others with a serious look.

“We need to make sure that the Four Evils is in there.”

“We’ll take care of that.”

“I agree with Brother Cho.”

Han Seolhwa also nodded as if agreeing.

No matter how great the formation was, if the three of them worked together, they could smash it to pieces, even if it took some time.

“What if Cheonui is in there?”

“Huh? Well…….”

Beom Gyewi looked at Cho Akryang in embarrassment.

Cho Akryang also couldn’t hide his difficulty.

From what he heard, Cheonui had not learned martial arts.

If they poured their energy from the outside, then of course someone who had not learned martial arts would not be able to survive inside.

“You don’t have to worry that much. First of all, this formation was hastily made by one person, so its power is far inferior to the formations in Shinji [a sacred or mystical place].”

Dan Akseon showed confidence.

“More than anything, I’m not the same as I was ten years ago.”

“I still can’t allow it, no matter what.”

Dan Akseon smiled bitterly at Cho Akryang’s firm words.

“This formation is definitely a type of Gihwan formation [a formation that distorts perception]. Regardless of whether you’re a master or not, once you enter, all your senses become useless. I’m the only one who can move without getting lost inside.”

Of course, Jegal San was also able to find his way, but his martial arts level was not sufficient to withstand the dangers inside.

At Dan Akseon’s explanation, Jegal San nodded without realizing it.

“I’ll go inside and check for survivors to ensure safety. And after a certain amount of time, the masters outside can simultaneously pour their strength into destroying the formation.”

“That’s not an impossible story.”

Beom Gyewi glared at Jegal San with wide eyes.

“That guy has no tact…….”

Jegal San, startled by the sudden murderous intent, hurriedly opened his mouth.

“But when the formation is destroyed, the aftermath will not be easy to deal with. More than anything, you have to withstand the energy of several masters all alone, and that alone could be life-threatening.”

“Don’t worry. I can handle it. The only problem is…….”

Dan Akseon, who looked at Cho Akryang, Han Seolhwa, and Beom Gyewi in turn, showed a troubled look.

“We don’t have enough people.”

According to the design he had seen before, the formation before him was thoroughly based on the principles of the five elements.

Therefore, in order to destroy the formation, five masters needed to move in unison.

But if he went inside, there would only be three left outside.

That’s exactly two people short.

And there was another real problem.

It was the level of the masters.

They had to be at least similar to the Three Divine Demons of Primacy or comparable to them.

“What? Then there’s no need to worry?”

Beom Gyewi, who was relieved, relaxed his tension.

“Anyway…… That mouth is always the problem.”

“What, witch. Are you talking to me right now?”

Beom Gyewi, who was furious at Han Seolhwa’s taunt, paused.

Cho Akryang sighed softly.

On the other hand, Dan Akseon’s brightly smiling face caught his eye.

“Huh?”

Beom Gyewi, showing embarrassment, turned his head to look somewhere.

Sure enough.

There were two figures running towards this place at a dazzling speed.

Beom Gyewi, who discovered them, shouted.

“Why are you guys popping out here?”

Beopryo and Gang Wiryong, who quickly closed the distance and landed in the training hall, were quite embarrassed by the sight of the three people glaring at them.

On the other hand, Dan Akseon welcomed the two with a bright smile.

“Welcome. I was in dire need of your help.”

Gang Wiryong, who nodded without knowing why, frowned at the Three Divine Demons of Primacy who were glaring at him.

“Why are those guys like that?”

“Amitabha…….”

Beopryo also smiled awkwardly with a troubled expression.

Dan Akseon approached the two of them.

“Please help me. I need to see the end of the Four Evils with my own eyes. And if Cheonui is in there, I have to save that person too.”

Beopryo, who realized the situation with Dan Akseon’s explanation, nodded with a soft Buddhist chant.

“I will gladly lend a hand, even if it is only a small one.”

Gang Wiryong as well.

“I’ll help too.”

Cho Akryang, Han Seolhwa, and Beom Gyewi exchanged glances and licked their lips.

Come to think of it, they suddenly realized something they had forgotten for a while.

They had always prided themselves on the fact that nothing was impossible in their lives, but there was one thing that was impossible.

It was to break Dan Akseon’s stubbornness.

An hour later.

Dan Akseon, standing in front of the formation, looked around with a determined expression.

Cho Akryang, Han Seolhwa, and Beom Gyewi.

And Beopryo and Gang Wiryong.

All five of them were waiting, keeping the positions that Dan Akseon had designated in advance.

With the power of those five, destroying the formation before them was a piece of cake.

The problem was whether they could withstand the energy they poured out at once, but he wasn’t too worried about that either.

Most of the energy would collide with the energy inside the formation and be offset, and he was confident that he could somehow let the remaining energy flow out to minimize the impact.

With all the preparations completed, Dan Akseon brought a large incense stick and lit it.

Then, after inserting the incense stick in a place where everyone could see it, he opened his mouth.

“If I succeed, the formation will start to shake at some point. If there is no reaction even after waiting…….”

Dan Akseon raised his hand and pointed to the burning incense stick.

“After the embers of that incense stick go out, you can simultaneously shock the formation with the best martial arts you have, according to Uncle Cho’s signal.”

“Be careful, Doctor Dan.”

Dan Akseon replaced Beom Gyewi’s worried eyes with a smile.

Although they didn’t say it, Cho Akryang and Han Seolhwa’s eyes were not much different.

“Then I’ll see you again in a little while.”

With everyone’s concerns behind him, Dan Akseon took a step towards the formation before him.

‘As expected…….’

Suddenly, the view in front of him seemed to distort, and Dan Akseon inwardly groaned at the surrounding scenery that newly surrounded him.

It was clearly a space that existed before his eyes, but his head was spinning just from facing the twisted and distorted landscape.

Moreover, it was not only the visual that was adding to the confusion.

From hearing and touch to smell…….

The entire five senses were messily intertwined, making it impossible to fully recognize proper information.

It was a power that was hard to believe that one person had created.

Indeed, it was a skill worthy of being a descendant of Takyoshin, who was called Guisu [a master of strategy and formations].

‘Anyway…….’

Dan Akseon, who carefully looked around the inside of the formation, was inwardly dumbfounded.

The flow of the formation contained only murderous intent.

The formation, designed so that no one could ever get out alive once they entered, fully contained the designer’s intense animosity.

He wondered how deep the resentment must have been to be like this.

‘No one can stand it in here.’

But only one person.

It didn’t apply to him.

As mentioned earlier, it was a formation that was hastily made by one person, and as such, its power was far below that of the formations installed in Shinji.

Although there was no life gate [a safe passage or exit] anywhere, it was not that difficult to find a way inside.

He had already experienced a similar Gihwan formation, and above all, there were many overlapping parts.

Whether it was influenced by Takyoshin, there were definitely many similarities.

Soon, Dan Akseon, who had estimated the direction to go, slowly began to move.

One step.

And another step.

After carefully moving forward for a long time.

Dan Akseon was finally able to reach the pillar of the pavilion, which was the center of the formation.

Dan Akseon closed his eyes and concentrated.

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Dan Akseon stomped his feet with all his might.

A spiral motion drawing a circle.

The moment the power obtained through this rose through his ankle, Dan Akseon twisted his upper body.
