Tremble! Tremble!
A man with rugged looks and cut-off arms trembled on the ground.
He didn’t seem to be in good condition, considering all the burn marks on his body.
They were torture marks.
“Haa… Ha…”
The man clicked his tongue as he looked at Cheon Yeo-Woon sitting in front of him.
His body froze, so he assumed that he had died.
Since his body was enhanced, there was a self-destruct device planted in his brain and other parts of the body.
They should have melted his body from the inside, but when he gained consciousness, he found himself still alive.
[H-how am I still?]
[Did you think your plan would work?]
Pieces of metal, which seemed to be parts of a detonator, were scattered on the floor.
He couldn’t figure out how they were extracted.
‘This guy is a damn monster.’
And because of that, his body didn’t melt.
He was tortured.
“Where is your people’s base?”
“Haa… Ha… I really… don’t know.”
Snap! Pang!
“Kuaak!”
Cheon Yeo-Woon snapped his finger, and the big toe exploded.
The man had already been in this kind of pain for an hour.
Cheon Yeo-Woon put the nano bombs inside him.
“Kuak… I, I told you before. This earphone…. We just got a call from it. I went to the contact point and executed the order…”
“Hmm.”
Cheon Yeo-Woon patted his chin and looked at the man.
50 nano bombs were detonated in an hour, but he kept repeating the same words.
‘Nano, your results?’
[Pupillary contraction, movement of facial muscles, heart rate. All the same. The chance of lying is less than 5%.]
Cheon Yeo-Woon sighed in disappointment.
Clearly, this organization was meticulous about the spread of information.
‘It is like abandoning everything when needed.’
To be able to dispose of the workers at any time.
Those related to the MS group didn’t have any information either.
What was more absurd is that when he asked Nano to search through the internet, it said that they disbanded 15 years ago.
It was as if the organization didn’t exist. It felt like a waste of time.
‘I think it would be better to find someone of a higher position.’
Cheon Yeo-Woon got up from his chair.
And without hesitation, he decapitated the man.
Slash!
“Kuak!”
The man who was slashed in an instant, fell to the ground with a slight groan.
After all, if this guy was already abandoned, then it was definite that the MS groups would have blocked all the networks this man could use to contact them back.
“Heo Bong.”
“Yes!”
Wheik!
When Cheon Yeo-Woon left the tent, Heo Bong set fire to the man.
Heo Bong’s fire was much hotter than normal flame, so it was the best to erase the traces.
‘Nano. Which is closer? Zhumadian or Datong city?’
According to Marayun, Zhumadian and Datong city were the other two places the legacies were hidden.
He decided that getting the two subordinates would be better because there was a possibility the MS group could find them.
[I will mark it on the map.]
The locations of the two were marked in augmented reality.
Datong city was located to the left of Beijing city, so he’d have to go up a long way north.
‘It would be better to stop at Zhumadian city and then to Datong.’
Heo Bong, unaware of this, approached Cheon Yeo-Woon and asked.
“Lord. Hm, where are we going first?”
“Zhumadian.”
“Huh? Where is that?”
There was no way Heo Bong could know the names used in the current time.
“To the south of Henan.”
“Ah…”
Heo Bong couldn’t help but be disappointed.
From that reaction alone, Cheon Yeo-Woon could guess that the person who was hibernating there was Baekgi.
“Heo Bong.”
“Yes… Lord.”
“I think it is a good thing that you have grown strong.”
“Sorry?”
Heo Bong understood right away why Cheon Yeo-Woon said such a thing.
Cheon Yeo-Woon had a nano suit on and hugged Heo Bong as he flew into the sky.
Swoosh!
“Kuaaak!”
When they crossed the sky at a speed of Mach 13, the impact of the air hitting the body was beyond imagination.
Had it not been for Heo Bong’s regenerative power, he would have died right away.
‘Zhumadian, it was said to be near the reservoir on the west.’
He definitely heard Marayun say that.
It was difficult to get to the place since it was outside the wall, but that was no problem for Cheon Yeo-Woon.
At least, that was what he thought.
Cheon Yeo-Woon and Heo Bong both arrived at the coordinates Marayun had mentioned with stiff faces.
“Lord… didn’t you say that there is a reservoir here?”
Unexpectedly, what should have been there was no more.
The place was devastated, as if it had been bombed.
‘I heard that there was a huge underground cave near this reservoir.’
There was no cave, just a huge pit formed from the aftermath of the explosion.
If there was anything stranger, it was the huge hole in the ground that seemed to be made to bring something out.
“L-Lord. What happened to Baekgi?”
Heo Bong’s expression darkened.
Heo Bong’s case seemed to have been a lucky one.
No one could know what could happen when one was hibernating inside the mountains for long.
“Wait.”
As the problem couldn’t be solved by jumping to conclusions, Cheon Yeo-Woon asked Nano to investigate the site.
Nano was capable of ultrasound detection and lipid analysis.
Nano’s voice echoed in Cheon Yeo-Woon’s mind.
[Ultrasound detection results. No site has been found. What is believed to be an underground cave seems to have sunken due to the explosion.]
‘If we dig here, will we find something?’
[Nothing is present according to the ultrasound.]
The image below the ground was shown to Cheon Yeo-Woon in augmented reality.
As Nano said, not even human remains could be found.
‘Just what happened here?’
[As a result of analysis of shape and geology of the ground, traces of lava flow are found.]
‘What?’
Lava.
It means the magma which is ejected to the surface.
The hot lava is a phenomenon that usually comes when a volcano erupts.
The west side of Zhumadian was hilly but definitely not a volcanic area.
‘There are traces of lava flow in here?’
[Yes.]
It was Nano’s analysis, but it felt hard to believe.
Nano added.
[According to the analysis, the magma isn’t from earth.]
‘Then?’
[This is lava from the Gate.]
It was highly likely that they were traces of lava from the Gate.
There were three forms of Gates.
One of them was disaster type. These were occasionally occurring and were more devastating than a natural disaster on earth.
‘Was Baekgi swept away by the lava when he was hibernating?’
Cheon Yeo-Woon looked at the lava.
However, the pit at the hidden coordinates where Baekgi should’ve been hibernating showed signs of an explosion.
An explosion which seemed to have pushed aside the lava.
‘If lava flowed through this point as it is…’
Then lava should have entered the city behind.
Perhaps to prevent that, the humans caused an explosion.
He concluded that the place where Baekgi was sleeping was caught up in the explosion.
‘Baekgi was this easily beaten?’
Cheon Yeo-Woon looked at the vast pit.
If he really died here because of the explosion, then the wait of Baekgi for his Lord was so futile.
Grunt!
Cheon Yeo-Woon clenched his fists. That was when Heo Bong approached him and said,
“Lord. Could it be that someone coveted the Blood of the Dragon Turtle?”
“What?”
Cheon Yeo-Woon frowned at those words.
Heo Bong was unaware of this time, so he guessed what he could think of.
The blood of the Dragon Turtle.
“There was a vial of a spirit beast blood where Baekgi was kept?”
In the place where Heo Bong was hibernating, there was a vial holding the blood of Flame Qilin.
It was Cheon Yeo-Woon who never asked about it.
“Well, we kept them in case we woke up from hibernating and were unable to recover.”
It was for their own selves.
After Cheon Yeo-Woon disappeared, the people in the Cult studied the blood of the spirit beasts.
One of the things they discovered was that even the cut-off body of the person who could absorb the blood of the spirit beast and embody it, could recover.
“It was like that.”
The blood of the spirit beast was to promote their recovery from hibernation.
For Heo Bong and the others who decided to hibernate, it was a recovery drink, but for the other Murim people, it was an elixir from heaven.
That’s why Heo Bong ended up thinking that.
“Heo Bong. Now that you say…”
Cheon Yeo-Woon, who was trying to explain what happened to Heo Bong, stopped.
And then looked at the ultrasound map in augmented reality.
“Lord?”
Cheon Yeo-Woon didn’t answer his call and kept looking at the map.
He found out something.
‘Ah! Right!’
As a result of taking a closer look.
“Heo Bong, follow me.”
Phat!
Cheon Yeo-Woon jumped into the pit.
“Uh? L-Lord!”
Heo Bong hurriedly followed him.
The pit, which was the result of an explosion, was so massive in depth and surface.
Cheon Yeo-Woon, who reached the pit, stopped and reached out his arm.
The hardened soil began to dig.
Papapapk!
“L-Lord, what are you doing?”
“Take a good look.”
He couldn’t have done it faster because Cheon Yeo-Woon was trying to calm himself.
After digging a few meters, Cheon Yeo-Woon stopped.
The artificially-made cave shook, and something came out.
“Uh? Altar!”
Heo Bong recognized it.
The same altar which Heo Bong was placed on during hibernation.
The altar was made of sapphire.
“The altar is unharmed.”
“The altar is in good condition, but here is no sign of Baekgi and the vial.”
“Ah!”
Heo Bong’s eyes widened.
It was then that he understood why Cheon Yeo-Woon had done this.
If everything was destroyed, but the altar was still safe and unscratched, then it meant that Baekgi was safe somewhere else.
“Did Baekgi wake up?”
“I don’t know.”
All they knew was that Baekgi wasn’t hurt in the explosion.
There was no way of knowing if he woke by himself or had fallen into someone else’s hand.
There were no traces on the altar which could have given an answer.
‘Huh?’
At that time, Cheon Yeo-Woon saw that the sapphire altar was partially cut off.
Looking closer, it seemed to be a man-made cut.
‘The place which is cut…’
It wasn’t a smooth cut with a sword, but an irregular cut.
‘To be cut like this means…’
When Cheon Yeo-Woon raised his hand up, an invisible sword appeared.
Of course, the sapphire would be cut very easily with the invisible sword, but Cheon Yeo-Woon was using another method.
Drrr!
The sword trembled.
The invisible sword was imitating the ultra-vibrating sword.
Clash!
Cheon Yeo-Woon brought it down to the altar, making the sapphire altar split in half.
Shhh!
Cheon Yeo-Woon pulled back the sword and looked at the cut section on the altar.
Heo Bong noticed it too.
“L-Lord! The traces are the same. How did you do this?”
The microscopic irregularities were the same.
At that, Cheon Yeo-Woon narrowed his eyes.
“Ultra-vibrating sword… those guys again.”
In this era, there was only one group of people who had the tech of ultra-vibrating swords.
“MS Group!”
“MS Group? What is that?”
“I think they took away Baekgi.”
Cheon Yeo-Woon was convinced that they were involved in this.
“How dare they! Lord! Let’s find them right away and punish them! Let’s bring back Baekgi!”
Heo Bong was furious at it.
It felt like if given a chance, he would tear them all down.
But Cheon Yeo-Woon shook his head.
“Huh? W-why? Lord! Without Baekgi, you may not be able to return to our time.”
Baekgi had one of the three codes.
Heo Bong was worried about Baekgi, but even more concerned that Cheon Yeo-Woon wouldn’t be able to go back.
“Heo Bong, calm down.”
“What? But without Baekgi…!”
“Just tracking back is a waste of time. We need to find clues.”
If the MS Group was an exposed organization, it would have been easy to find them, but they were strongly hidden.
Looking for the MS Group was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
It would take up too much time.
“Ah! I hope they come to us directly. We can catch and kill them.”
“Ho-uh?”
Cheon Yeo-Woon’s eyes shone at Heo Bong’s grumbling.
“That is a good idea.”
“Huh?”
Cheon Yeo-Woon smiled at the furious Heo Bong.
“Right. We don’t have to search for them.”
After receiving a commission from Cheon Woo-kyung, they aimed for Cheon Yeo-Woon.
It was likely that the MS Group had covert ties with other organizations too.
And if Cheon Yeo-Woon could use that, he could pull them out.
“Heo Bong.”
“Yes! Lord.”
“I promise you. I will make it possible for you to slaughter each one of them with your own hands.”
“Yes!”
Heo Bong stopped grumbling after that.
Because the Cheon Yeo-Woon he knew was a man who would definitely get that done.
“Before that, Mun Ra-yeong…. No, your wife, we need to go for her.”
“L-Lord! Let’s hurry then.”
At Cheon Yeo-Woon’s words, Heo Bong wanted to hurry.
Because Baekgi was gone, he was worried that his wife might be in trouble too.
Shhh!
Cheon Yeo-Woon wore his suit and spread his arms.
“Come on.”
‘Ugh…’
Heo Bong, who had already experienced the tremendous speed once, hesitated for a moment.
But what could he do?
Deeply frowning, he went and hugged Cheon Yeo-Woon.
Once again, Cheon Yeo-Woon flew into the sky.
Swosh! Phut!
“Kwaak!”
Datong city.
It was a city in the northern part of the Shanxi province, west of Beijing.
Cheon Yeo-Woon, who almost reached it, frowned.
‘What is this?’
He was still several kilometres away, but he could feel an energy wave spreading from Datong city.
‘Gate?’
Such an energy wave could only be felt when a Gate was open.
The energy which shook the space was stronger and gloomier than the ones he felt before.
It wasn’t this strong when he fought the Shivaras.
Bang! Bang!
As they got closer, the sound of some heavy shelling could be heard.
It sounded like explosions.
Cheon Yeo-Woon, who thought something weird was happening, lowered the speed and gave Nano an order.
‘Nano. Enlarge the field of view.’
[Understood.]
The field of view on one side of the eye was enlarged.
However, on the outside of the wall, a huge number of tanks surrounded and fired into the air.
[PGZ-15 aircraft tank.]
It was a tank specialized for air.
The tanks’ guns were busy firing into the air above the wall. But it was obvious that they were aiming for something.
‘What is it?’
It was strange.
It was invisible to the naked eye, but something was surely there.
Bang! Bang!
As he was wondering, he saw something like a hazy smoke fly in the air.
‘What is that thing?’
It left a trail of white particles with each movement.
Like a ghost.
