Tok! Tok!
Mumu sent a gesture, telling him to come down, with his hand dripping with blood, and the Emperor on the throne, upon seeing this, could feel a chill running down his spine.
At the time of the founding ceremony of the hidden troops, the emperor had watched the guardians of his, the two great warriors, and the captain of the hidden troops fight.
And the fight looked so strong and intense that it was impossible to clearly see what had happened along with it devastating the place.
Accordingly, the emperor considered that the investment into this group had been good.
‘… No way.’
The emperor, who acknowledged him, and his two guardians were shocked at this absurd death.
He assumed that it would be a hundred percent success. But in the middle of the room with the opponent not being even seen—
“W-what is this?”
Emperor Hong Inse asked the two people on his side.
At this, the West Spear Troops commander, who was on the left, spoke without taking his eyes off Mumu.
“Your Majesty… I think you need to leave this place.”
“What do you mean?”
“The man doesn’t appear to be close to a great warrior but seems to be at a level similar to or even higher than the Four Great Warriors.”
The West Spear Troops captain directly fought with the captain of the hidden troops. The martial arts of this dead captain were as good as being next in line to be a great warrior.
And to subdue such a person this easily—
Drip
Cold sweat ran down his forehead. The tension was extremely high.
He himself didn’t have confidence to deal with this monster.
“Your Majesty. Please allow me to use the relic for this.”
“Do we have to use the relic now?”
“There is no way we can defeat him without that.”
“I agree with Eunuch Cho on this.”
The captain of the East Spear Troops agreed.
As the guardians of the Imperial Palace could easily be subdued and taken down, the relic had to be used.
‘I too had competed with that man 16 years ago when they were raised in the palace.’
Among the six weapons with an ego, there was one pair, the Yang Sword and Yin Blade.
They boldly held out against those warriors in the past only with the support of the North Heavenly First and the Southern Blade of the Emperor had to stop him.
“Your Majesty, allow us.”
The emperor nodded his head with trembling eyes and looked nervous. And the two guardians went down the podium—
Eunuch Go gave orders to the several waiting for it.
“Take his majesty and get out. That one there is…”
Kwang!
It was right then.
With a huge roar the floor around was crushed, and along with that, Mumu moved ahead at a tremendous speed.
“Eunuch Cho.”
“I get it!”
Srng!
The two of them pulled out their uniquely shaped swords with the middle of the blade having an empty design in it and swung them ahead.
Chang!
It was the moment when they swung the weapons that a low sound overlapped with it. A strong wave arose in the middle of the two, forming a circle, rushing at Mumu.
Mumu tried to break the wave rushing at him, but—
Pang!
The moment he swung his fist, his body floated up into the air.
‘!?’
It was a strange thing. The moment the waves touched them, their bodies seemed to become weightless, and the sensation of being supported by the ground disappeared.
“Take his majesty out! Ah!”
Woong!
Eunuch Cho swung his sword at Mumu who was floating high up in the air.
The sharp blue sword energy was shot straight at Mumu’s chest. Mumu, who had been turned upside down, slashed it down.
Kang! Kwang!
The flying sword energy bounced off and was redirected into the ground.
At this, Eunuch Cho was shocked. It wasn’t the sword energy being cut down which shocked him but it being done with bare hands.
‘He is a person who deviates from the normal teachings.’
“Eunuch Go!”
“I know!”
Papapak!
The two of them crossed their weapons in the pattern of the letter Z and moved for Mumu at high speed.
Chak! Chak!
Sword and blade energy flooded towards Mumu. But as if Mumu had gotten used to this infinitely lighter body, he flicked his fingers readily at the strong winds.
Papapapang!
The invisible winds moved and they were quite powerful as well. The air which was fiercely blowing now was glowing blue like a flower ready to bloom in the wind.
Kwakwang!
However, even if they used this as a defense, the power of the wind didn’t die easily, so the pillars were broken and the ceiling shook. At this sight, Ah Gong bit his tongue.
All three of them were so different.
‘The guardians of the palace are known to be potentially comparable to the Four Great Warriors, it seems the rumors are true.’
They were already strong to begin with and now even had relics on them with unknown powers, so this can be considered as a time when the strongest could be defeated.
“Huh!”
As Mumu took a deep breath, his chest began to swell up. In that state, Mumu blew out. And Mumu’s body which was now weightless in a zone stretched out towards the two eunuchs who were about to cross blades.
‘No!’
The two eunuchs clicked their tongues at Mumu’s attempt and began to cross their blades.
The power of the two weapons didn’t end there.
Chaang!
When the sword and blade touched each other, another wave spread around from the middle parts. Seeing this, Mumu lowered his head and blew.
“Phewwwwww!”
Pang!
Mumu’s body soared up, and thanks to that, the wave of attacks didn’t hit him, but the other warriors who were surrounding the True King.
Kwaang!
“Kuak!”
“T-the body!”
Those who were hit by the wave fell to the ground, and they fell face down as if the weight of their bodies had been doubled.
Their bodies were now digging into the floor.
‘Ah!’
Seeing this, Mumu’s eyes lit up, and at that moment the two eunuchs moved to where Mumu was and swung their weapons.
Chaaang!
“You cannot avoid this!”
Along with the shout, the wave rushed for Mumu.
They were just ten feet away, so the wave hit Mumu, and the moment it touched him—
Bang!
Mumu’s body, which was floating midair, fell down. Depending on the way the swords were crossed, the waves would decide on making their target float weightlessly or increasing their target’s weight, causing them to fall to the ground. They called this repulsion and attraction.
And it was because of the power they had that they managed to defend the palace 17 years ago.
Ta!
The two eunuchs who came down looked at Mumu with a smile.
The stronger the internal energy being used, the more they would feel an effect. And so they laughed at Mumu.
“The force pulling to the ground is a hundred times greater. Unlike repulsion which causes weight to disappear, the body cannot move now.”
Normally, they couldn’t handle up to a hundred times the power.
However, after nearly 17 years of training, they were able to increase the weight increase inflicted. Even that monster in the past had his movements dulled at this.
But if it was several times more than that, then any person should have been killed.
“Eunuch Cho.”
“Let’s end this.”
The two eunuchs each aimed for Mumu’s neck and heart. It was about to be done before Mumu could get adjusted.
But—
Crack!
The swords which were surrounded by sword energy were caught in Mumu’s hands
‘…!?’
The eyes of the two eunuchs widened. What does it mean to be able to move against such heaviness?
They were shocked at this, to which Mumu said,
“They seem to be good enough to be used as training tools.”
“What?”
“It is a waste to break them, so I will end it right now.”
Kwakwakwang!
At that moment, Mumu’s leg, which was stuck to the ground, surged up and hit the eunuch in the left rib.
Puak! Crack!
“Kuak!”
Paaang! Kwakwakwang!
With the sound of the bones breaking for Eunuch Go, his body bounced several times on the ground, and he passed through the room and disappeared outside. People could hear the roar but no one knew where he ended up.
‘!!!!’
Seeing this scene, Eunuch Cho was dumbfounded. It should have been difficult to even move with such force pushing Mumu down.
But now his leg was raised, and he kicked someone out of the room too.
“Y-you how can you move under this weight…”
“You call this weight?”
‘!?’
Not heavy?
While he was shocked, Mumu realized the weapon he caught in one hand and struck the other one with the palm of his hand.
Puak!
“Kuak!”
Crack!
The neck had burrowed into his torso like a turtle.
Tatatak!
“Kuak!”
The emperor was escorted with the eunuchs and moved outside the hall.
Face didn’t mean anything at this point anymore, and it wasn’t the right time to question things. The more stubborn he was the more of a crisis it would turn into.
And—
Kwang!
Hearing the roar from within the throne room, the emperor looked behind him.
Kwakwakwang!
Something broke through the walls of the room and flew through the other places.
It kept flying so much that it destroyed many buildings in its path.
‘W-what was that?’
It was so fast that he couldn’t see it clearly, but it looked like one of the two commanders. Were they taken down in such a short time?
“Your Majesty.”
“Y-yes!”
At the urging of his men, the emperor turned his head and ran.
He had to somehow get out and get all the troops to stop this, and it was when they were running ahead—
Kwang!
At that moment, someone landed in front of him.
It was Mumu.
The human face mask on him made him look like a reaper now.
“Eik!”
Emperor Hong Inse was scared as he stepped back, and at this the eunuchs around moved ahead to protect him.
“Your Majesty! Run…”
Pak!
Seemingly like Mumu thought they were a minor nuisance, he knocked them all down with the gesture of a hand, and all the eunuchs flew out as if they were paper dolls.
Papapang!
“Euk!”
“Kuak!”
Seeing this absurd sight the emperor fell back on the ground, and he ran with what power he could muster.
This was not something he could even think to deal with.
Step
Mumu walked ahead, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up. Then made eye contact as he asked,
“I will ask just once. Where is the plaque?”
