47 – Black Dragon vs. Ryu Cheon-hee

1.

“Keokh…!!”

The blood demon, making a sigh that seems to deflate, transforms into a vulnerable state.

I can’t feel any sensation..

I don’t know what is up and what is down…

The blood demon falls victim to Hana-rin’s technique, “Deep Sea.”

To be precise, it is an improved version by Ryu Cheon-hee.

The blood demon’s consciousness continues to descend endlessly. In a space of emptiness where no sensations can be felt, the blood demon struggles futilely.

The more she struggled, the more her senses were taken from her due to the extraordinary attachment to Ryu Cheon-hee.

“Phew… That was dangerous.”

Cheon-hee, staggering, sends a devastating blow.

A violent energy strikes the unarmed abdomen of the blood demon, blowing off the upper body.

-Kugugugugung..

The blood demon’s corpse flies far away due to the powerful strike.

“Thanks, Eun-ho. I survived because of you.”

“hehehe…”

If it weren’t for Eun-ho, it would have been dangerous. At a crucial moment, his gaze shifts towards the embodiment of spiritual energy that emerged from his battle equipment.

Under normal circumstances, he might have been ignored, but as mentioned before,

When Eun-ho opens his battle equipment, an inevitable force arises.

An unstoppable force that attracts the attention of anyone defenseless or desires to become stronger.

There is still no proper way to fully understand how he could quickly escape from that inevitability.

However, the expected thing is that if Eun-ho is not seen merely as a tool for becoming stronger, but as a person, the feeling of being quickly freed from that inevitability arises.

.

Ah… Is this really the end?

I can’t feel my senses… I can’t feel the sensations in my upper body.

I’m scared. Fear rushes over me as death approaches.

The blood demon who has killed over ten thousand people in her lifetime.

Living as a blood demon all her life, she no longer feels or moves, her upper body has already been annihilated.

Doubts rush in like a waterfall.

How am I still alive? No… Am I dead?

I couldn’t understand anything.

A sensation that surpasses the feeling of being in the “Abyss,” a sensation of annihilation.

Even though I feel that there is nothing above my navel, I instinctively look down.

The blood demon will never know what that is, the concept of a soul.

Her own lower body scattered like trash, the blood of vengeance seeking revenge.

– You killed meee!!!!

– Die!! You also dieee!!!!

-Come here… come here… come hereee!!

The blood demon reached the threshold of death and felt true terror.

The vengeance, the vengeance of death that she thought would accumulate to tens of thousands, now expanded endlessly due to the followers of her own blood coven losing their lives.

The blood demon frantically moved her legs to escape from them.

Then, she suddenly felt as if she was falling.

That is…

She had definitely absorbed about half of the Black Dragon’s blood.

The remaining half was calling for her.

It was a tempting offer.

To help her escape from that pit, to heal her burnt face,

And to give her immense power.

The blood demon crawled with all her might towards that place.

Although her lower body was already dead and motionless, her blood mixed with the Black Dragon’s blood was drawn toward it.

Finally…

Thump…! Thumpthump…!

The flesh regenerated, emitting a grotesque sound.

“Good…! That’s good…! I’m alive…”

Thus, the Blood Magic ritual was devoured by Heukryongje.

“No matter what… Don’t step forward next time. He aimed for you right away.”

“But Cheonhui was in danger.”

“But still, never step forward again. I will handle it myself.”

Ryu Cheonhui felt self-loathing for having made Eunho step forward.

If Eunho didn’t have the strength to retaliate even if he caught Heukryong’s attention with an attack…

Just imagining it makes one shiver.

To ensure it never happens again…

The lackeys who didn’t know that the Blood Mage had died were watching Cheonhui carefully.

Meanwhile…

“….!!!!”

“W-What…!”

“Look behind you!!”

After looking, there was a peculiar creature. It seemed like a rotting wooden pillar, and at the same time, it seemed like ginseng walking around.

Unlike ginseng, it emitted the stench of blood and decay.

It had thin legs, stumbling as it approached here.

[…….Shhh…]

A strange creature possessing divine power, magic power, bloodlust, and spiritual energy all at once. Upon seeing it, Ryu Cheonhui turned pale.

“Heu…kryongje?”

Eunho couldn’t believe it. He had never seen anyone who controlled energy so violently.

The strange aura, a mixture of four different energies, tormented Eunho’s senses.

“Quickly! Take Eunho and run away!”

“It’s too late!! You’re already within its attack range!!”

Gradually, the monster, which was starting to take on a human form, opened its mouth like a rotten hole in the tree.

It didn’t seek conversation.

“Eunho!!! Come behind me!”

[aaaRGH!!!!!]

Won Eodaecheong and Ryu Cheon-hee unfurled their spiritual barriers and defense shields.

Soon, a large amount of magic spilled out from the mouth of the round Black Dragon.

“ROaaaR!!!”

“Ugh…huff…”

“Cheon-hee…cough! cough…are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

From Noble mtl dot com

In no time, Won Eodaecheong transformed into a giant monster, while Ryu Cheon-hee calmed her trembling hands after the impact of magic.

[If that is the real Black Dragon, we would have been killed in a single blow.]

“They are already dead over there.”

[Could it be only a fake?]

“…I don’t think it’s something like a fake.”

With sharp eyes, they searched for the body that could be presumed to be the Black Dragon.

“The blood is from the Devil’s. The only explanation is that it resurrected using a dead Devil’s body as a medium…”

[The Yeorum has kept the Black Dragon’s soul in hell. That means… it’s nothing more than a shell.]

The fortunate thing is that the Black Dragon’s corpse was very slow.

Step by step, it approached with a speed comparable to that of a turtle.

“Won Eodaecheong, protect Eunho.”

[I can’t allow that. You will definitely die. If we don’t fight together, it won’t be resolved.]

“How long has it been since we last saw it? Keep track of it.”

[Cheon-hee, if you die, Eunho Gong won’t come out and ascend to the sky.]

“We can’t just run away…?”

With a tense and pale expression, Eunho looked at Won Eodaecheong who answered in his place.

[When we just defended against the attack, we pushed our spirits to the limit, Eunho Gong. Even if the strength is weakened in case that corpse is really the Black Dragon, running away is the worst option. We will definitely catch up.]

Eunho couldn’t understand. Since he experienced the release of energy, he knew. The enemy’s movements were very slow, but why not run away?

However, that question was soon answered.

A minion from the Blood Sect, who had been secretly trying to escape, reached Eunho’s ears.

No matter how far it was, it couldn’t be properly sensed with spiritual energy, and it could only be heard as a sound.

[Screech…]

*SQUEAL*

[aaaHHH!!!]

– Cough..!

– Mom…

The fleeing remnants of the Blood Sect were immediately hit by the Magi’s beam and died.

No matter how fast Cheonhee could fly, she couldn’t be faster than that beam.

“………….”

[………]

[Retch… creak…]

Between Cheonhee, Wondeokyochung, and Eunho, as they watched the Black Dragon Lord’s movements, he gradually took on a human form.

However, he still resembled a rotten wooden pillar.

His body twisted like a warped tree trunk, with holes scattered around that seemed to have been gnawed on by animals.

At some point, his steps started getting faster.

[Here I come!!]

“Devastating Void of Light!!!”

-Kugugu…-

Being directly hit by Cheonhee’s Devastating Void of Light, which was as fast as the Black Dragon Lord’s magi beam in terms of speed, the upper half of the Black Dragon Lord’s body flew away once again.

“Tsk..”

Although Ryu Cheonhee aimed for the whole body, only half of it got blown away.

With half remaining, the Black Dragon Lord rapidly regenerated his body.

[Moonlight Celebration]

Won-eodaecheong performed a rhythmic dance.

As the pitch-black clouds covering the sky cleared at once, a red moon rose up.

Every time Won-eodaecheong danced, Ryu Cheonhee’s energy increased.

Not only did his wounds from the Blood Martial Arts heal, but also the energy consumed in blocking the Black Dragon Lord’s attacks recovered much stronger than before.

[Supreme Wind Ritual!!]

Before becoming the god of the celebration, Won-eodaecheong hailed from the Dragon Palace.

As Won-eodaecheong grew larger in size and his divinity strengthened, he charged at the Black Dragon Lord.

At the same time, Ryu Cheonhee also charged.

“《Dragon-Slaying Nine Heavens Strike》”

At that moment, the stance taken by the Black Dragon Lord was none other than a battle posture, no different from that of a human combatant.

[Rumble…!]

“The Martial Arts of the Evil Dragon” is a legendary technique said to be performed by the evil dragon in a fairy tale. A clash occurred between the fists that could be called flames of purification and the Black Dragon’s. “Kwaaang!!” Sparks flew, and Ryu Cheon-hee and the Black Dragon were now locked in a fierce battle. The Annihilation Ya Cha and Black Dragon collided. “Kkreuuaaa…!” Cheon-hee was the first one to back off, quickly resigning herself despite her angry expression. Rather than insisting on her pride, Cheon-hee’s ability to accept what she could learn was what had kept her alive thus far, despite being a weak and vulnerable mutant Ya Cha. The two began a battle, with the Black Dragon essentially following Cheon-hee’s pace. However, Cheon-hee didn’t like the feeling that he was letting her do it her way, as if he were a strong man who encouraged her to do it her way. However, her hands trembled not because of fear, but because of the recoil from her blows. Currently, Cheon-hee was even weaker than a heavenly devil, but in terms of her potential, she was far superior to them. Cheon-hee liked the fact that she could face any existence without being scared or running away and could protect Eun-ho. “Haaa!!!” With firm resolve, Cheon-hee began to overpower the Black Dragon with the techniques she had learned in the past.
