Chapter 239
Chapter 239
The portal opened by Kalain.
On the other side, hundreds of Crimson Blood Demons stood on top of a dark hill with a determined momentum.
"So those are the Crimson Blood Demons."
A race with two heads and four arms, with blue skin.
They looked as if two people had merged into one.
Slightly larger than humans, the Crimson Blood Demons.
Although their combat power evaluation was relatively low, they didn't appear to be particularly strong in appearance.
However.
"Intruders... Attack!"
"Everyone, seize the intruder!"
Flash!
Blue light burst from the eyes of the hundreds of Crimson Blood Demons.
Sung JiHan's body began to be bound by a strange power.
"Is this the possession of the Crimson Blood Demons?"
Although possession was said to be completely random, perhaps Sung JiHan's body and the possession were a good match.
He felt his control gradually loosening.
-Uh...
-Sung JiHan, why are you just standing there?
-What's wrong? Did you get possessed?
-Oh, don't listen to that skull guy and go to the civilian area ㅠㅠ
Sung JiHan stood still, even with the enemy in front of him.
Seeing him, the viewers showed signs of worry, but...
"Possession, it can be controlled as a soul."
Now that Sung JiHan was possessed, he was unharmed.
A soul that completely controlled the body.
This was because it operated without any problems even in an environment where possession was involved.
"Even if I sweep them all at once...."
For him, the purpose of this game was not to simply annihilate the enemy, but to find the origin of the Crimson Blood Demons.
Sung JiHan pretended to be possessed for now and decided to observe the situation.
"It seems like it worked?"
-Umm...!
-I, I don't know!
-It seems like it worked, but...
Meanwhile.
The group of Crimson Blood Demons, who were sweating cold, were not confident that they had seized Sung JiHan.
Their movements stopped, and considering the reach of the power of possession, it was correct.
However, when they possessed other races, their movements were much stiffer compared to before.
"Control him!"
At the command of the Crimson Blood Demon at the front, those with flashing eyes.
Boom!
-Ahh...!
Some of them had their eyes go blank and exploded.
"This won't work."
When Sung JiHan temporarily withdrew control of the soul.
His body began to move clumsily.
-It, it works!
-Good... Let's make him face the invaders!
It was the basic strategy of the Crimson Blood Demons to possess the enemy and make them fight each other.
"In that case, I guess I'll have to draw my sword again."
Sung JiHan heard the words of the Crimson Blood Demons being translated through the BattleNet.
He tried to release the possession and sweep away the enemies, but...
-...Hm? No, wait.
Before that, the demon at the front raised his hand and retracted the order.
"The gods have commanded us to bring him to the holy land."
"Him?"
"He might not be dangerous..."
"He's someone who has been possessed once. He's a 'suitable candidate for possession.' It doesn't matter in the holy land where he will be possessed even more powerfully."
"Understood."
Flash!
The eyes of the Crimson Blood Demons emitted light once again.
Boom! Boom!
-Cr, Crap...!
The eyes of both tribes burst simultaneously.
Sung JiHan didn't intentionally resist, but it seemed difficult to use his powers.
The situation continued to be one of ongoing sacrifices.
[Incredible resistance...!]
[This player is a dangerous existence.]
[Shouldn't we just kill him now?]
[No. We need to take him to the Holy Land. Control him quickly!]
At the urging of the commander at the front, the Crimson Blood tribe once again used their powers.
Thump. Thump.
Sung JiHan entrusted himself to their power and slowly moved forward.
He took about ten steps.
Boom! Boom!
From behind, the sound of eyes bursting again reached the demon commander, who frowned.
Just how powerful is this guy that it's even difficult for him to walk?
...It won't work. Open a portal in front of him. Send him to the Holy Land for now!
Under the commander's orders.
Ziiing!
Right in front of Sung JiHan, a blue portal appeared.
'The Holy Land...'
The epic quest to find the origin of the Crimson Blood tribe.
He was unsure where to start, but it seemed like they were paving the way for him.
'I should go and investigate.'
And as he stepped through the portal.
The Holy Land of the Crimson Blood tribe revealed itself.
* * *
Twisting. Twisting...
Inside the Holy Land of the Crimson Blood tribe.
From a human perspective, it was grotesque to call it a sacred place.
-Uh...
-What is this?
-Eyes everywhere?
-It's like a case of eye astigmatism -_-
The ceiling, the walls, the floor.
The entire Holy Land was made up of blue eyeballs.
Crack!
As Sung JiHan's foot touched the ground, the eyeballs on the floor burst under his weight.
Sss...
From the places that burst, the eyeballs rose again.
They watched him.
[A portal is opening... Is it a sacrifice?]
Sounds spread from all directions.
They contained a strange power that made the listener feel dazed.
'Not only possession, but they also perform other tricks.'
Of course, it didn't have much effect on Sung JiHan, who had a soul, but he quietly observed what tricks they were up to.
Sss...
And between the eyeballs, blue tentacles began to rise.
They wrapped around Sung JiHan's body.
Ziiing...!
They started to press on his body from all sides.
Being possessed and bound, Sung JiHan felt completely overwhelmed.
-Oh, no. What is this? Is it over like this?
-Tentacle ending, for real...
-All I see are tentacles -_-
-But we asked to send him to the place with the strongest resistance earlier. This is the result ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Until now, it seemed like he was pretending to be brainwashed... Was it real?
When he was first brainwashed, the viewers had mixed opinions on whether Sung JiHan was acting or not.
But as his body became helplessly entangled in the blue tentacles, it became clear that it wasn't acting anymore.
-Shouldn't we call for help from the Black Skull? But how can we call for help when we're possessed?
- Ah... I see.
- Finally, you're not able to get first place in the Sung JiHan game?
- What's first place? You're currently in last place, haha.
Even though I want to ask for help from Kallein, I can't because of the possession.
Viewers, one by one, were making gloomy predictions that Sung JiHan would end like this.
At that moment.
Twist. Twist.
[...No. Was the player the one executing the end? Where, the evaluation of the end is the lowest... However, if you can participate in the end, does that mean your gift is outstanding?]
Reading Sung JiHan's information.
A voice flowed out from his eyes.
[Yes. If it's the lowest, it's actually good. I will choose you as one of the sacrifices....]
Thump!
Eyes gathered from all directions.
Sung JiHan's figure was buried within them.
No.
He tried to bury him.
"I guess it's time to stop now."
Sung JiHan, who was trapped by tentacles, until just before he opened his mouth.
[What...?]
Whoosh!
The tentacles that surrounded Sung JiHan all burned at once.
In his hand, a red phoenix feather with a red lightning was wrapped around it.
- Oh!
- I knew I could trust him!
- Well, then Sung JiHan won't be possessed!
- Haha, you were just asking for help from Skull a little while ago. Let's see you change your stance.
- You did the same thing, didn't you? Haha.
Unlike a little while ago, viewers were cheering for Sung JiHan.
Sung JiHan smirked and spun the phoenix feather around.
"I was thinking of waiting patiently."
Thud!
The tip of the spear was aimed particularly at the eyes scattered around.
"I didn't know you guys were trying to stick eyes all over my body."
Sung JiHan annihilated all the eyes scattered around.
Although he pretended to be possessed.
He didn't even consider the thought of eyes entering his body.
And.
'Geomu Sword Rain was wriggling.'
The fourth Immortal Technique with the ability to explore, Bingcheon Geomu.
Especially, Geomu played the role of finding errors in the Battle.net.
Since receiving the epic quest to find the origin of the Crimson Blood Demons, he had decided to use Bingcheon Geomu.
When Sung JiHan entered the Sung, he had kept Geomu hidden inside his body, but when Geomu started moving, he immediately stopped acting.
[So... it didn't get possessed.]
At that moment.
Twist. Twist...
From the Sung that Sung JiHan had swept away.
Once again, the eyes started to wriggle.
[As expected of the Apostle of Destruction. Not an easy opponent.]
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The eyes scattered in all directions began to gather in one place.
Colliding with each other and merging into a giant eye.
[But you're not an opponent that the power of possession doesn't work on... I will control you and escape this world.]
Flash!
The power of the Crimson Blood Demons shone more intensely than ever before.
Sung JiHan felt his body twitch.
If it weren't for his soul, his body would have been completely controlled.
But the power of that giant eye.
The power of possession was something his soul couldn't overcome.
"It doesn't work?"
Sung JiHan reached out the tip of the spear towards the eye.
Honwon Divine Technique
Cheonroeng Bongyeom
Red Thunder Cannon
Boom...!
The massive cannon pierced through the eyeballs in an instant.
The red lightning did not stop here, sweeping through the Sung JiHan.
Even the eyeballs that were constantly rising until a moment ago couldn't withstand the power of the cannon.
They could no longer regenerate.
"What is this...! How can a low-level species like you possess such power?"
"You guys, on the other hand. Why are you so weak even though you claim to be low-level? Don't you know how to possess?"
"...I will close this Sung Ji."
After receiving a blow from Sung JiHan, the enemy decided to close the Sung Ji.
Swoosh...
Being overwhelmed by the cannon, the remaining eyeballs completely retreated.
The power of the Sung Ji began to weaken.
"He makes quick judgments."
Sung JiHan sighed with regret.
If the enemies had clashed a little more, it would have been easier to find the origin of the Crimson Blood Demons.
Once the eyeballs realized that their power was being suppressed, they gave up on Sung Ji and fled.
"This epic quest is not easy."
It would have been easy if it was just fighting enemies, but searching for the origin without any clues was a different story.
However, the rewards were too good to give up on the quest.
"For now, I should track the energy of this Sung Ji..."
Sung JiHan looked around.
All the eyeballs that were in all directions were burned, revealing a huge underground space made of blue soil.
With openings in all directions, it was impossible to determine which way to go.
"A power similar to the energy of this Sung Ji is most strongly felt in the north..."
The power of the Crimson Blood Demons was rapidly decreasing due to the enemy closing the Sung Ji.
The distribution of energy was so faint that only someone as skilled as Sung JiHan could track it.
Nevertheless, he succeeded in sensing the energy.
He just had to trust his senses and follow it.
"Unlike my senses, Bingcheon Geomwoo's direction is pointing south."
Contrary to Sung JiHan's senses.
Bingcheon Geomwoo's detection pointed to the south, where the energy of the Sung Ji was the thinnest.
"Let's go in Bingcheon Geomwoo's direction this time."
Sung JiHan took out Eclipse from his arm.
Hwonwon Singong.
Myeolsin Gyeol.
Bingcheon Geomwoo.
From the frozen Eclipse, a cold energy flowed out.
The Sung Ji began to freeze completely.
And from the midst of it, a water sword sprang out and started flying towards the south.
"Let's go."
Sung JiHan got on Bingcheon Geomwoo.
Shoo!
The water sword extended towards the south of the underground.
Like a massive flood, the water sword covered the underground.
"What, what is that!"
"Stop it!"
"Don't send it to the Sung Ji!"
Although the Crimson Blood Demons tried to stop Bingcheon Geomwoo.
Swoosh...!
Unable to stop the flooding of the water sword, they were swept away.
Although Bingcheon Geomwoo was meant for detection.
Perhaps because it was included in the Myeolsin Gyeol, the power of martial arts itself was strong.
Still.
"I wonder how these guys made it to the Silver League. Did they only rely on their possession ability to rise?"
While watching the Crimson Blood Demons being overwhelmed by Bingcheon Geomwoo, Sung JiHan thought to himself.
Swoosh...!
The water sword that was extending forcefully began to slow down.
And after sweeping away the Crimson Blood Demons like that, it continued for a while.
"This is... a tree?"
At the place where the sword finally stopped, Sung JiHan discovered something unexpected.
A giant tree with eyeballs hanging upside down.
