The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 77

After Gyu-sa’s death, the demons’ attack on Wudang Mountain has stopped.

When the war entered a lull, the branch of the divine tree planted by Jinmu at Haegeomji finally began to exert its power.

spirit of life.

As the power of harmony spreads its influence in all directions, buds sprout from the gray land.

Green light spreads over the land, and leaves sprout from the bare tree branches as if clamoring.

It was a nostalgic green that came after a hundred years.

* * *

“Is it over there?”

“That’s right.”

“Um…”

The boundary between the gray land and the green Wudang Mountain.

Hyeopbi, who had just arrived in Ingye following her mother’s order to find out the reason for Kyu-sa’s death, stared at the recording in front of her with a disapproving expression.

Wudang Mountain.

The last traces of silica sand were cut off there.

It was strange.

A mountain that is still covered with greenery even after 100 years have passed since Ma occupied the Human World? And what is the identity of that unfamiliar aura that encompasses the mountain?

According to the words of the ears who came out to the world before him, Wudang Mountain was one of the spiritual places.

If you do, you should feel the divine power. The power of the mountain should have scratched the nerves throughout his body. You should have felt the urge to burn it to ashes right away.

But… it was cozy.

It was a strange feeling to the point of shuddering at the blue color that seemed to caress his heart, which had lived amidst the fierceness.

My instincts fluctuate when I face the warmth that even calms my heart.

I’m telling you not to come closer.

Suddenly, I thought that the warmth might be like a beckoning gesture from an insectivorous plant that seduces bugs by telling them to come and rest.

There’s nothing wrong with moving on after being beaten….

Hyeopbi looked at the mountain suspiciously and stretched out her hand.

Swoop.

The magical power emitted in the form of black smoke was carried by the wind and flowed toward the mountain.

“…this is this!?”

It was unbelievable. The moment the magical energy touched the mountain, it seemed to be sucked in and disappeared without a trace.

nonsense. If it’s a divine land, you should have pushed your magic power away, right?

“As expected… as your mother said, there is something. Something destroyed the quartz sand.”

Doubt deepens.

Even though I experienced it myself, I couldn’t understand it with my head. what the heck is that mountain?

Although it is Kyusara who has just become the Demon King, it is so strong that it cannot easily be extinguished even if the Heavenly Emperor comes.

So, is something on that mountain stronger than Sangje?

Heebi, unable to step in easily, swallowed a dry saliva, feeling thirsty for her deepening concerns.

“…!”

In an instant, Hyeopbi widened her eyes in surprise.

Are you saying I’m nervous? Anxiety about the unknown beings who might be living in those damn mountains?

“Damn it… I don’t like it. Something like a mountain….”

He grumbled lowly as if trying to deny the feelings he had inadvertently felt, and glared fiercely at Wudang Mountain.

I couldn’t approach it blindly. His first priority now is not to tear down that intrusive mountain, but to find out the cause of the extinction of silica sand.

If there is something unknown hiding in the mountain… the first thing to do is to call it out.

“Snow.”

“Yes, Ok-ju.”

At the call of Hyeopbi, the commanding officer Xue Do politely answered.

“Lead the left wing and attack the mountain.”

“yes!”

In a low voice, Xue Do summoned his own sword-shaped sword with the tip curved like a skewer, with a lifelike look in his eyes.

“let’s go!”

“Kuaaa!”

With Xue Tao’s command, the left wing of the encirclement was launched toward the mountain like a tidal wave.

The sound of running footsteps shakes the earth. The spectacle of thousands of demons running, staining the gray earth black, was a terrifying spectacle.

Tuoong!

“…?”

Hyeopbi couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the situation that happened near the mountain.

It was absurd.

You absorbed my mana a while ago, but this time it bounces?

The devils, who ran with all their might, collided with an unexpected wall, and soon the leading ranks of the left wing were disorganized.

The boundary between gray and green.

It was as if there was an invisible film enclosing the mountain there.

Empty! Tuoong!

The rear row jumped over those who fell and ran, but the result was the same.

Something was blocking their way. A wall of something invisible even to the eyes of Hyeobbi, the demon king.

“These idiots! Get out of the way! I will open the way myself!”

The angry ghost Xue Do soared high and swung the curved sword vigorously.

Wow! Whoa!

The result was the same. The blade, which had been soaked with mana, bounced off beautifully.

“Damn it! haap!”

Zeng! Damn! Zeng!

The angry Xue Do brandished his sword without rest, but the shield seldom gave way as if it were an impregnable castle.

“Heh heh…”

Seol Do, who had swung his sword hundreds of times, let out a rough breath as if exhausted.

What the hell does this mean?

Even the cows and trees and leaves were clearly visible on the board, and there was nothing blocking them, so they couldn’t do anything else.

“What a pair!”

Finally, Xue Tao grabbed the magic tool with both hands and poured out all his magic power.

“Huh!”

Hard!

“…!”

In an instant, the sage’s eyes widened.

It worked.

As soon as Xue Dao’s magic ball hit the membrane, he clearly saw the transparent crack that formed in the air.

Cracked means… it can be broken!

“Haldan!”

“yes!”

Haldan, who responded vigorously as if he had read the thoughts of Hyeopbi, immediately gave an order to his subordinate.

“Follow me, masters! Break the curtain!”

Along with Haldan, the ghosts of Dosanok threw their bodies to help Seoldo.

But at that moment.

“Stop!”

“…?”

Hyeobbi hurriedly stopped the running ghosts.

The ghost chiefs and the demons of Seoldo and the left who attacked earlier also turned their heads and looked at Hyeobbi as if they were puzzled.

However, Hyeobbi’s gaze was fixed on one place at the boundary.

A change caused by a transparent membrane.

…stumbled.

and.

Suwook.

A group of people emerged from within the membrane.

A number of about thirty.

It was clear that they were celestials, seeing as they became irritated the moment they saw them. They are probably the spirits who remained in Wudang Mountain.

however.

“You can call the bastards if you have business, but why do you keep beating and fucking! It could have broken if I pushed it hard!”

The white-clad divine spirit standing in the front screamed out.

“…?”

He was clearly audible even though he was quite far away, and he tidied up his hair that he had been scratching.

It is an aura that gives off a strange feeling. What energy should I call this?

It’s not a god, but it’s not a demon…

Yes, San! It is a mountain.

His aura resembled the green mountain in front of him. It’s very cozy, but I feel like I shouldn’t approach it…

At the moment, Hyeopbi looked down at my hand.

Are you floating? I?

What is this?

Raising his head, he carefully examined the man in white with wide eyes.

something familiar I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but where did I see it?

As a demon lord, he must have never seen a divine spirit residing in the Human World. You’ve never seen a human, even less… But why is it familiar?

At that time, when I was thinking over and over again, I tied my hair tightly and finally met eyes with the white-clad deity whose face was completely exposed.

quite a distance.

But he was clearly looking at himself.

“How are you? Who is this? Isn’t that a bitch?”

Jinmu, the white-clad divine spirit, waved his hand with a very happy expression.

I was going to visit them one by one, but wouldn’t it be nice to see you even visit them yourself?

I had just gotten a lot of branches from the divine tree to fill the fork, and I was diligently cutting them.

Can’t you fight with a stick because you have face? At least it should be a wooden sword. Like a shaman, even the Taegeuk pattern is delicately engraved.

“You spoiled spirit bastard! To speak of the name of the Demon King carelessly!”

“…?”

The ghost master Seoldo, who was nearby, swelled up and radiated wild mana. Jinmu tilted his head as he saw him sprinting with the momentum to rush at him at any moment.

That bastard… Is he angry with his body? What are you screaming about?

I put a lot of mana into a sword-like tool, but it felt so insignificant… I didn’t even want to deal with it.

“Haha, do I have to deal with that one by one?”

Cheongsang, who was next to him, laughed and took out a wooden sword.

“I will do it.”

“Oh, will you?”

“Leave it to me. I’ve been wanting to try out the new sword that Sasook gave me.”

“Yeah, then.”

Jinmu smiled brightly and nodded, and Cheongsang aimed his wooden sword at Seoldo expressionlessly.

“It’s a shaman’s spirit.”

“…what?”

“You who attacked the innocent Human Empire are no different from a firearm, so I won’t give a damn about the sword.”

The cold life that rose from the blue statue’s body spread through the sword.

For a man called Seonin to live like that…

Oh no. That guy seems to have gone awry in the past when he saw only swarms of firefighters.

Well, nothing is different. Tormenting innocent people.

“Such a crazy spirit bastard doesn’t even know the subject!”

Seol Do, who sensed Cheong Sang’s dignity as arrogance, eventually couldn’t hold back his anger and rushed at him.

A sword full of magical power flew through the air as if it would split the blue statue at once.

“Tsk tsk, you don’t have eyes to see, maybe it’s because you’re a nobleman.”

Jinmu, who was watching the sword rushing with great momentum, lightly clicked his tongue.

You’re the one who doesn’t know the subject.

He pretends to be a divine spirit, but our Cheongsang already has fighting ability and divine power comparable to the two Generals of the Heavenly World.

It’s not lacking in combat ability anywhere, but even the thing I’m holding in my hand is a branch of a divine tree that holds the power of harmony.

If I had to name it… Taegeuk Harmony Sword?

“…Hoo!”

The name isn’t bad.

It was when Jinmu clapped his hands in admiration for his naming skills.

match!

At the same time, Cheongsang’s Taegeuk Harmony Sword gently bent.

Teoeouk!

“…!”

concise sum of work.

The wooden sword passed through Xue Doo’s magic tool and cut through his body.

It’s a wooden sword after all

.

Xue Dao’s waist was cut exactly in half, and the cut was shattered like a pile of dry soil.

“What is this…”

The demons, startled at the end of Seoldo, who disappeared as a handful of ashes without understanding what had happened to them until the very end, widened their distance.

Seeing this, Jinmu nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Um, my baby too.”

Even with a sword made from the branch of a divine tree that embraces the power of harmony and embraces the gods, it is not easy to strike a demon with a single blow, but he manages to do it.

“If you look at it, the effect has been sufficiently proven.”

Threatening the divine tree to tear it off… no, it was worthwhile to get it.

Everyone staying at the shaman was filled with armor made from the branch of a divine tree, so now… it was worth a try.

“Red born. It’s quite a lot, but can I leave it to you?”

“yes?”

Jinmu smirked at the red-saeng behind him.

“It’s good to measure the strength of the breakthrough team and the suppression team. I think we practice for the future fight.”

“I see.”

“Instead, fight only near the perimeter. Don’t overdo it, run away straight away into Wudang Mountain if you’re in danger. okay?”

“yes.”

The enemy nodded vigorously.

“If so, what about the Lord?”

When Hwangshin, the self-proclaimed reliable personal escort, asked, Jinmu pointed at Hyeopbi with a gesture of his chin.

“A guest came after a long time, but as the owner, do you have to wait at the front door to use it? I’ll have to see you.”

“Alone?”

“Then you are alone. Taking weak things like you and using them for something. Don’t even dream of being followed by an escort. It just becomes a burden for no reason.”

“….”

Hwangshin and the children inflated their cheeks at the same time at the blatant disregard, but they couldn’t refute it.

…because it’s true.

“Then don’t ask me to live.”

“yes.”

Hearing Jeoksaeng’s answer, Jinmu turned toward Hyeopbi and took a step forward.

“W Long time no see.”

“…!”

Hyeopbi couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he saw her smiling and raising her hand in front of her.

It was just one step. Until he, who looked as small as a finger, appeared in front of him.

And Hyeopbi finally knew who he was.

“Jimmu?!”

“You look quite surprised. Actually, the person I thought was dead is still alive and walking around.”

“… How are you?”

Jinmu smirked at the bewildered Hyeopbi.

How are you?

I was returned from hell because I was a culprit (?) Who was deceived by the strategy of Gui -mo and ruined the hand.
