Chapter 106
Episode 106
[Take this. It’s made from giraffe skin. It’s solid and light. The appearance has been changed to fit a human, so it will be easier to wear.]
Gyu-ryu took out a neatly folded coat from his arms and handed it to Namgung.
It was a dark brown coat with a slight red tint.
“Why this?”
[Just accept it. You can think of it as gratitude for saving my father’s life.]
As I watched Gyu-ryu pushing the coat to Namgung, I could see that Mu-hwi’s work was just an excuse.
As expected, the giraffe was a spirit creature that was difficult to find even in the Yasha world.
If it’s 100, then 100 would have been given to him by Muhwi as a reward for obtaining the Giant World this time.
“After all, you are a good guy.”
[…That’s enough. Please live. A giraffe always returns to its nest once more before it dies.]
“Is that really what you’re giving it to?”
[No!]
Gyu-ryu left in a hurry, as if running away.
Standing at the entrance to the sword temple, Namgung held up his coat and smiled.
No numbering.
Name: Gyu-Ryu’s Special Coat
Grade: Rare (Highest)
▶ A coat made by directly modifying armor made from the skin of Kirin, the chieftain of the Yasha clan.
▶ Has grade 3 poison resistance.
▶ Has a level 5 healing effect.
▶ Temporarily ignites and burns the surroundings.
Grumbling…!!
The moment Namgoong put on his coat, a spark erupted from the end of the coat. The flames coming out of the coat, like the flames emitted by a giraffe, were not typical, but bright yellow flames.
“It is said that the Kirin is a spirit creature, and the flames it spits out have spiritual power…”
Namgung was able to understand a little why Gyu-ryu gave him this coat.
“I heard he’s a fun guy.”
He smiled and looked at the entrance to the Sword Temple.
[Stop.]
Two large jangseungs standing at the entrance of the shameful tomb blocked his path.
It must have been the gatekeepers who messed up Gyu-ryu’s face. Although he looked clumsy, Gyu-ryu, who was of the second rank, was a powerful person even within the Yasha clan.
“I received approval from Mu-hwi, the head of the Yasha clan.”
Namgung held up a small pendant and showed it to the jangseung. However, the two who blocked him did not think about getting out of the way.
[Humans cannot enter the Sword Temple.]
They warned Namgung in a dull, machine-like voice.
“Hmm, too. “It’s not much different.”
Namgung nodded as if he had confirmed and put the pendant in his arms.
Poop—!!!!
And then he hit the jangseung’s head.
* * *
“Did you meet your mother?”
At the training ground before leaving for the Yasha Realm, Somin shook her head in response to Namgung’s question.
“no. “I couldn’t meet you.”
Grumbling…!!
Somin summoned a fairy.
However, they were forget-me-not fairies, not the World Tree fairies that had been summoned earlier.
“Actually, these are the fairies I signed a contract with.”
“Not Wigracion?”
“huh. You lied to the demons. To make them scared. Even the devil was fooled.”
She said, raising her finger with a shrugged expression.
“To deceive the enemy, you must also deceive your allies!”
Namgung burst out laughing at his daughter’s words.
“That’s true, but there’s no need to keep it a secret, even from Dad. But then what happened to Wigracion who was summoned at that time?”
“It is true that I used the seeds my father gave me for the World Tree’s wand. “She decided to help me out of her own free will, separate from the contract.”
“Hmm… I’m glad. “I guess you liked it.”
“Rather than saying I liked it… I think it would probably be more accurate to say I regret it.”
“Are you sad?”
He asked back, looking at Somin answering Namgoong’s words with a bitter expression.
“The seed awakened Wigracion, but in fact, she cannot use her power with just that. The body has been resurrected, but the magical power has long since disappeared. “In order to manifest power in this world, a medium was needed.”
“No way…”
“Yes. that’s right. Naji, the master of the wand.”
“….”
Namgung frowned at his daughter’s words.
Already with his wife’s soul, Somin’s body was like a precarious vessel filled with water.
Thanks to Kuhuran, it was barely in tune, but if an enormous spirit called Wigrasion was poured on it, the vessel would overflow and could even break.
“That’s why my mother’s soul went to Wigracion. “Instead of her spiritual power, her mother’s spiritual power revived her strength.”
“That’s why I saw my mother’s face on Wigracion’s face. So… does she contain her mother’s soul now?”
“no. Mom is still with me. Because I was just lending my strength. But thanks to sharing spiritual power, I also feel lighter.”
“Thank goodness…”
Namgung seemed a little relieved by his daughter’s words.
I was looking for a new vessel to contain my wife’s soul, but ironically, I was more desperate for her to be with my daughter.
“Then… can I ask you a favor?”
“What?”
“Summon Wigracion.”
“What is it?”
Somin smiled and held her cane as if asking why she was talking so seriously about something that was insignificant.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh….
As she imbued the staff with magic, Wigracion appeared with a brilliant light.
“Attack with all your might.”
“…eh? why?”
However, when Somin heard the second request, she looked at him as if she did not understand.
“It’s just our daughter.”
Namgung spoke to her.
“Someone stronger than Dad.”
“P… even a joke.”
However, Somin slightly raised the corners of her mouth as if she did not dislike Namgoong’s words.
“Then are you going?”
“…!!!”
At that moment, tremendous magical power erupted from her body.
Karung-
It was that time.
The chain wrapped around Namgung’s wrist trembled lightly.
“also.”
Kwahia Ahhhhhhhh !!!!
The fortress shook with a loud explosion.
* * *
“Whoa….”
Namgung stood over the shattered jangseungs and straightened his disheveled coat.
Karring….
The chain wrapped around his wrist seemed to be searching for something, wrapping around the broken poles as if they were alive.
Pasyuk-!!
The chain was wrapped around the wreckage of the broken jangseung, looking for something.
It was the core of Jangseung.
The core seemed to have not yet been destroyed, but was emitting a faint light.
When the chain broke the core, it disappeared along with pure white smoke.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…
There was no significant change, but somehow the chain shook lightly as if telling Namgung that he wanted to eat more.
“Now one thing is clear.”
Namgung nodded and muttered as if he had confirmed it.
‘Chains have self-defense capabilities.’
I remembered that during the battle with the Demon King, the chain attacked the Demon King at a critical moment.
Why did the chain, which had been sleeping until now, suddenly move?
After closing the fourth door, he thought about the conditions of the chain in various ways.
The fact that the chain that had been sleeping until now has moved means that a change that has never occurred before has occurred in the battle with the Demon King.
It was a crisis.
The battle with the Demon King was so intense that it literally brought him to the brink of death.
At that moment, the chain attacked the demon king as if trying to protect Namgung.
‘The chains hope I don’t die.’
But it was a little different.
It was subtle, but rather than trying to protect him, it was more about protecting myself.
As if if the host dies, it dies too.
And it was still the same now.
Namgung tore the gatekeeper of the sword temple, who could not even defeat Gyu-ryu, to pieces.
However, there was one peculiarity: when faced with over 300,000 demons in Daejeon, the chain did not react.
The chain reacted a total of three times: to the Demon King, to Wigracion, and now.
‘I almost died back then…’
Namgung looked at the chain wrapped around his wrist.
“Are you saying they aren’t strong enough to kill me?”
Even though he knew that there was no point in receiving recognition from Chain, Namgung said that and smiled without realizing it.
“This guy who didn’t react to over 300,000 demons only reacted to the jangseung guarding the entrance to the tomb…”
Namgung muttered as he looked at the door to the Tomb that slowly opened after the gatekeepers disappeared.
I couldn’t even guess how great monsters were inside there. But as my experience so far shows
,
it was useless to worry about it. Because moving forward was done by the body, not the head.
* * *
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!! puck!!!
From the moment they entered the sword temple, the chains started swinging wildly, crushing the guards flying towards Namgung.
[Kyaaaah!!! Wow!!!]
The statues carved out of stone ranged from human forms to animal forms.
Each one struck a fierce blow as if it would kill Namgung at any moment.
“Hmm…”
But ironically, Namgung did nothing towards the monsters rushing towards him.
And the act of doing nothing actually made the chain run wilder.
‘When I found this place, it was after Mu-hwi had died in my previous life… so he survived for a dozen years. When it comes to weapons and strength, it can’t be compared to what it is now.’
It was at that level, but let alone conquering Geommyo, I had no choice but to give up at the entrance and return.
High difficulty also meant that it was dangerous.
Maybe I can’t defeat even one of the sword’s guards right now.
If you let your guard down, you literally die instantly.
Therefore, the chain was protecting him even more desperately, which was just funny to Namgung.
“10 minutes?”
Namgung, who was walking down a single road, looked at the watch on his wrist and said.
In front was a small shrine with an old sign that was almost broken.
“I wandered around for three days to get here…”
Ssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!
As he waved his arm, the fog surrounding the shrine dispersed as if running away.
Surprisingly, when the fog cleared, the entrance to the shrine and sword temple was less than 100 meters away at most.
“I can’t believe it was such a short road.”
He smiled bitterly.
Passyuk….
When the fog cleared, the sign hanging at the shrine fell as if it were falling apart.
“….”
I didn’t know anything else, but I remembered the shattered sign at the shrine. This is because I had no choice but to give up and return without being able to cross this threshold.
[Keeeeeeek…!!!!]
At that moment, a sharp scream was heard.
When the door to the shrine was opened, unlike before, when the stone statues guarding the tomb appeared, yakshas with red glowing eyes appeared.
Appearing alive.
But Namgung knew what they were.
‘This is where all the weapons used by past leaders of the Yaksha clan rest.’
Since the soul projects memories, the souls sleeping in the armor were literally equivalent to the capabilities of past leaders.
Boom –
A huge yaksha that seemed to be twice the size of Namgung appeared in front of the shrine gate.
“Infinitely….”
The greatest leader in the clan’s history.
That wasn’t all.
The spirits of other leaders also appeared around him.
“hey. “Unless you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life like those guys…”
Namgung said coldly as he looked at the culprits who had made him run away in his past life.
“Protect me.”
Cry…
The chain clinked and grunted as if it somehow disapproved of Namgung’s words.
