The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 69

After the boundary collapsed and the rift opened, tens of thousands of demons poured in.

They preyed on people at random, and infiltrated the people with iron scars. He planted the seeds of desire in their hearts and corrupted them by whispering with a sweet voice.

Because evil is more loyal to desire than good, it spread quickly. Those who have got sick of the weak, intoxicated with greed to have more, and those who have been deprived harbor venom due to resentment and vengeance.

As even good could not endure and turned into evil, the world became more and more savage.

Slaughter is everywhere.

Children stab their fathers, fathers strangle their children, and people on the road bite and cut each other.

burn and crumble

There is no place for good people.

The devil became a person who wore a pharynx, and a person was no different from a demon.

Of course, in such a world, there are people with grievous will, but how can a person compare to the power of the devil?

As their heads rolled across the fields and their corpses were scattered as food for animals, this world was no different from hell.

When the celestial sages descended and helped the human world, the demons of the earth, who were wearing iron swords, finally revealed their true colors.

It was the beginning of the so-called Shinma War.

A bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky. As the mountains collapsed, the ground cracked, and the vegetation burned, every day the world was bright with fire instead of the sun.

Heavy rains flooded the river and turned it into a flood, and the huge city was washed away and disappeared without a trace. A tidal wave hit the coast and changed the topography. The scorching heat that followed made the land dry, and even epidemics broke out due to the great famine.

In the eyes of humans, their fight was a catastrophe from an angry nature.

The end of a fight that lasted for decades was stark. The demons of the terrestrial world were endlessly pushed, and the power of the celestial world, which had no choice but to be limited in number, was weakened all the time.

Also, even humans who were stained with evil and awakened to the power of the devil came to stand on the side of the world.

In the end, Heaven closed all the gaps leading to Human World.

Most of them decided that they could not save Human World, which had been stained with evil, and started a fortress to protect Heaven.

…was abandoned.

However, there were still those left.

They were the spirits who took root in the land that contained the energy of the sky and cared for the human world.

More human-friendly, they did not follow the will of the Jade Emperor who decided to retreat and chose a desperate struggle.

It was because he felt sorry for humans who had not yet been stained with evil. Because they thought they had to protect themselves.

One was after the support had already been cut off. They gradually became powerless.

One by one they collapsed under the attacks of demons. They were mercilessly trampled on and annihilated without being able to rest.

few places left. Even that was now an object of ridicule, like a mouse besieged by a full-bodied cat.

At the foot of a mountain in the northeast of Jungwon.

Shih! bang!

“Keah!”

The man who flew away with a scream collided with a beautiful tree and collapsed.

“Heo-e-e-e-e-e-h-e-e-h-e-h-h-h-h-h-nyang-like guys.”

The old man, whose graying beard was stained with red blood, breathed heavily and glared at the enemies that filled his face.

Those who wore clothes made of animal fur and carried crude bat swords. It was an endless group of bandits.

However, those eyes that glowed red as if possessed by something.

They are no longer human. They are nothing more than puppets who have lost their humanity because they were seduced by the devil.

The devil who seduced the bandits must be with them. To end this fight, we must find him.

It was at this time that the old man’s eyes sharply scanned the group of bandits.

“No, who is this?”

“…?”

The old man was taken aback by the voice he heard from behind the bandits and shifted his gaze.

“How is the old man on the street leaving his place and going all the way?”

“…”

The owner of the voice who appeared was a man of great build with a huge waldo wrapped around his shoulder.

Anyone could see that he was the head of a bandit, but the old man realized at once that he was the devil he was looking for. It was because of the strong scent of magic that emanated from him.

But how does he find out who he is?

“If you quietly guard your place, I will visit you soon. Why did you come all this far away? Are you doing this to protect them?”

“…”

Gu Guo, a divine old man who has ruled the mountain range for a long time, glanced behind him at the devil’s words.

Those who were chased by bandits and managed to survive by intervening themselves… They are probably slash-and-burn farmers cultivating the foot of a nearby mountain.

It was obvious that if he was left to suffer from the bandits, the resentment would reach his very bones and make him neither a human nor a ghost.

“Stop interfering, give them up and go back. Then, wouldn’t life be spared for a while?”

“Shut up, you devil!”

As the structure, enraged at the smirking mocking devil, shouted with a loud voice, sound waves spread wildly in front of it.

Damn!

“Keugh!”

“Keah!”

Trees swayed violently as shapeless sound waves pierced, and bandits clutched their ears in pain. The red light in the eyes of some bandits disappeared and there was a clear light.

“Ugh…”

The devil smiled at them as they tilted their heads as if they hadn’t fully come back to their senses yet.

“Hoo? It’s quite a feat. To neutralize the power connected to my followers with the power contained in my voice. Not even one!”

Suaaa!

With a cold laugh, the devil’s body changed.

It wasn’t long before it tore open its throat, and it was a huge tiger with black fur, gray stripes, and burning red eyes.

“…What about you?”

Rescue recognized him at once and was in awe.

It was the golden marriage of Sangun. The spirit that guarded the nearby mountain…

“You can’t believe it! Did you eat the spirits!”

-Kuh! Quit-quick.

Geumhon, who fully revealed himself, smiled and waggled his tail.

“Ah!”

The eyes of the bandits, brushed by the spread of the poison, were once again tinged with bright red eyes.

– I ate. Who ate only one spirit? They ate both people and animals. I ate so much that I finally made it into this one.

“Ah…”

A sigh escaped the rescuer’s mouth.

Iol… I mean.

The tiger is a material that will become a divine spirit. If you build up your spirituality under the divine spirit, your Tao will reach the sky and reach the top line.

However, if you can’t give up your desire and eat meat, you can’t escape the skin of the beast.

Also, if you eat a person, it becomes a cave and is eroded by demonic energy. The so-called window sticks to the body.

But Iol, which is worse than Gulgak…. Doesn’t that mean I ate hundreds of people, including the spirit I worshiped?

– It turned out better. I heard that the kings of the realm will soon come to the human world. I thought my eol wasn’t enough. At this point, I will eat you and wait for them.

“….”

The eyes of the golden soul, which had been dripping with saliva and flicking its tongue, vomited blood, and the face of the rescuer was distorted.

Damn it, I thought that even Sangun would be eroded by demons.

what about one? That the world is already theirs…

Sweep.

As the rescuer, who couldn’t contain his grief, shook off his sleeves to reveal his hands, a shimmering spirit rose up as if it were entwined all over his body.

“OK. That’s what you meant, so how can I leave you alone? I will surely cut off your evil deeds and comfort the souls of the dead!”

As the screaming rescue shot out like a flash of light, Geum-hon stood upright and swung his front paws.

Whoa!

The shock wave that came with the wild explosion swept all over the place.

“Ah!”

The bandits caught in the shock wave were torn to shreds.

Whoa!

However, Geum-hon did not blink an eye and swung his front paw fiercely again.

Float!

“Keugh!”

Geum-hon did not care about bandits, but rescue could not leave people unattended. The difference was stark.

A long claw mark appeared on the chest of the structure that used some of its strength to protect the slash-and-burn people.

– You stupid bastard! You guys are not like that!

“…!”

Golden Horn laughed at the rescue with a wild roar.

go by go!

The power of Sangun, who had become a demon, overwhelmed the divine spirit.

Pointy teeth bit into the shoulder and sharp claws tore through the body. Rescue’s body gradually turned bloody.

If he did his best, he could stand against the golden marriage. But he couldn’t abandon people. Why did he want to stay in the Human World and protect it instead of returning to the Heavens in the first place?

“Haaaap!”

Even if they perish in this place, I will save them. Rescue pushed the golden soul down, waving its hands with all its might.

Whoa!

The divine power of rescue became a fierce storm and flew toward the golden soul.

First of all, I have to push him out and move the people to another place…

“…!?”

At that moment, the golden soul moved swiftly to avoid the wind and flew towards the people guarded by the structure.

“Oh, no!”

The moment the urgent rescue jumped in, a cold smile appeared on the corner of the golden marriage’s mouth.

At the same time, the golden spirit that had been attacking people changed its direction. As if he knew that rescue would come, he swung his front paws and clawed them with the force to tear the world apart.

The structure, which had been violently bounced off and slammed to the floor, was gasping for breath without even standing up.

-Keuk keuk keuk Anyway, how are you guys so consistent?

“…?”

– So did my master. I ended up just like you trying to protect people.

At the words of the golden marriage, the rescuer bit his molars.

Lure… Did you deliberately set a trap thinking I would protect people?

-Looking at it, I can’t move any more.

“…”

-There is an order to food, too. Because delicious things are best eaten slowly.

“… you bastard! Can not be done!”

Rescue hurriedly reached out and shouted at Geumhon, who was running to eat people.

there was no strength Wasn’t the whole body already tattered by the claws of the golden soul?

But at that moment.

The world was brightly lit with a light that would blind you for an instant.

-This fucking bastard!

The golden soul, which was regarded as the last desperate attempt to rescue, jumped in the direction where the people were and scratched at random.

I don’t feel like taking one. It seemed to scratch the air.

-Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry,

the forest was shaken with tears, and the light that brightened the world disappeared as if it were an illusion.

Then, a tooth dressed as white as snow appeared with the people from a little distance away.

-…?

Untied hair fluttered long in the breeze.

The golden marriage could not contain the absurdity.

…not a structural force? If so, another deity?

no.

Although he is holding a tree branch that looks like a stick, isn’t it the appearance of a young man?

If it was a divine spirit, it should have looked like an old man with a handsome beard. The reason was unknown, but I heard that it was the appearance determined by the heavens.

In the meantime, I don’t feel any power. It means that there are no enemies anywhere in Shinma….

Is this possible? That such a person avoids his attacks?

Geumhon, full of vigilance, glared at him, then the man put a club over his shoulder and turned his head.

Then he gazed at the golden soul with indifferent eyes before finally opening his mouth.

“what? What about this dark hoe?”

“….”

Geumhon and Rescue didn’t say anything and just blinked their eyes.

“Oh sorry. Was it a dog?”

The man scratching his head at the sight and grinning was Jinmu, who had just returned to Takeover.
