The slab shattered, and the seal around Mitas tomb broke down.
It was as if a glass shattered in front of their eyes, and sothing appeared between the pile of dirt.
A part of the structure that had been hidden in the ground was clearly revealed now. The outside of the stone wall was visible, and white pieces of wood were attached to a golden rope that was woven together.
Seol Young looked at Jung Myung.
Miss, please.
Yes.
Jung Myung ordered the wood spirits to dig around the stone wall.
A portion of the tombs ceiling was exposed beneath their feet, and Zaha looked at it without saying a single word.
The one who caused all sorts of disasters and pain to people, yet despite trying to catch it, it was sothing that just couldnt be caught, and eventually made them co together
His opponent for eight years of bad luck.
The tomb where the body of the woman nad Mita was believed to be the origin of the God of Cataclysm.
Even though it was a different world, the tomb would finally reveal the truth. It was a feeling that couldnt be put into words.
Then the expression on Zahas face vanished for a second, and the brilliant golden light in his eyes also vanished as if he had been frozen in ice for a long ti. And he looked down with cold eyes as he said,
It is strange.
That was the first expression that he spat out towards the long resentnt he had for her. Zaha asked while rubbing his sword.
Why did they have to stick these pieces of wood together?
Seol Young replied,
It is a wooden plaque.
Are there any white wooden plaques?
There probably werent any. They must have dyed it in color for so reason and used a spell, but everything was erased to white. In addition, what is inside is so powerful.
Man, co to think of it, Seol Young-rang was an expert in grave robbery, right?
The expression changed on Zahas face.
Tell everything you know. Id like to hear so opinions from the expert.
This is not robbery, and it is being done with permission.
Seol Young replied coldly and stepped ahead.
However, I will tell you in detail in case the High Governor decides to make a living as a grave robber in the future. When you see a tomb, first make a rough estimate of whether it is a grave that can be robbed or not. Normally, if one sees a golden rope and a wooden tablet that looks like this, one should run away without looking back. It ans that anyone who touches this tomb will be cursed.
Cursed? Are you referring to the cursed records that ntioned Mita, the curse, cut to pieces and buried?
Maybe, anyway.
Seol Young bent down and put his hand on his neck. His fingers throbbed.
What I said was the general case. We really need this tomb, so we should go in without asking for permission or arguing about it.
After saying that, he raised Blue Rainbow and slamd it down to the ground.
The tombs ceiling split open like a spiders web.
You will have to enter there. Rember, if there is a sealing stone, that is usually the entrance.
Lets see.
Zaha applied force to the cracked part that Seol Young made and slashed it down several tis. The stone wall was broken, and a hole had been drilled.
Inside, a space that had been sealed for a hundred years was revealed. Jung Myung was watching all of this silently from behind, then she mumbled,
We need to put up a ladder, at least.
Seol Young looked at her.
Fine. And I have another request. While we go into the tomb and examine it, if another grave robber or passerby enters this place or maybe even steps inside, it would be a huge problem. Can the shaman stay here and guard this place?
I understand. Please leave it to .
Then Jung Myung disappeared with the wood spirits.
Then, shall we start digging in earnest?
Zaha jumped down the hole first, and Seol Young did the sa. It was horribly black inside.
Each of them raised an aura on their swords and halted.
A pitch-black haze was visible amidst the golden and blue light. Sothing was reacting in Zahas body.
Seol Young said,
It seems that the demonic qi inside your body is reacting to this place. To the ashes, or maybe the things here.
As expected.
Zaha took out the Great Mothers necklace, which was hidden under his clothes. The demonic qi rose in an instant and then vanished.
The ashes must be enshrined in the deepest place.
Seol Young looked into the darkness far away. A long passage was revealed through the red and white light.
The end was a forked road,
I think there are several stone chambers. It is the size of a royal tomb.
Seol Young took the lead and walked down the aisle.
They said it was still dark under the lamp. Wouldnt the location of this tomb be the sa on the other side of the world? How did I not know that there was such a huge tomb in the place I have lived for ten years?
.
Zaha glanced at him. His eyes, which were looking through the darkness, seed like they were looking at sothing strange.
Why?
What?
Rather, he questioned him and raised his sword.
Wasnt he looking at it too oddly?
Just when Seol Young was about to pry more, a clattering sound ca from the other side. Nurous shadows appeared above the light reflected on the wall.
A bird?
As soon as Zahas words ca, rogue birds appeared. Their upper bodies were those of humans, and their lower bodies were those of birds. They were half-human and half-birds.
Kuaak!
They rushed in, filling the place.
Calm down and look.
Zahas Dead Slayer sword had this golden halo around it. It was the symbol of the Sun and Moon Troops.
But the monsters attacked without any hesitation, and a single hit from their steel claws could tear down their muscles and beak bones.
It cannot speak.
Seol Youngs Blue Rainbow sword cut the monsters down left and right. And his spirit-repelling talismans moved into their wounds.
Kuaaak!
Then the bodies of the monsters exploded.
As they tangled up and fell down,
Kuak!
A sound rang.
It was the sound of sothing being shattered and broken.
This sound?
A question crossed their faces. But there was no ti to further think about it.
The demonic beings were attacking them even at that mont. Attacks from sharp beaks and claws poured in all directions.
We need to break them all.
Zaha swiftly swung his sword then a spiritual qi rose like wild flas as it cut down the monsters. The birds that were flying in from the other side were caught in the circle of talismans that Seol Young hid in the air.
Kuaak!
Shouts and screams echoed everywhere. After a long fight, they were finally able to defeat all the monsters. They were so strong that their arms were numb.
Zaha swung his sword and brushed it off.
Is grave robbery normally like this?
Of course not. Then it would have been abandoned a long ti ago.
Seol Young said that as he raised the aura on his Blue Rainbow sword.
After the fight, they finally arrived inside the stone chamber. A silvery blue glow shone around them.
Several jars of grain were placed there. It was full of coins and various jewels.
It was a burial item that had been prepared so that the dead could live in the grave forever. Its scale was very grand. It was the first ti Seol Young had seen anything like this.
From the words of the shaman, she said this was of a high-ranking person, right?
And it wasnt a person of Shinra, but.
Zaha stretched out his hands on the ground and picked up sothing. It was a sculpture of a birds head.
The one that just attacked us?
It looks like it.
Seol Young also picked up a couple of items on the ground. There was a body and a base, too. When they put them together, they ford a shape.
It was a bird-shaped earthen statue.
It wasnt an unfamiliar sight. Then both of them said at the sa ti,
A figurative earthenware?
Those that were made in the shape of a person, animal, or living thing were called that. It was popular in Silla, but this was more elaborate and bizarre too.
Then
When Seol Young opened his mouth, a clatter echoed from beyond the stone wall.
In the next mont, other shadows appeared in the passage. They were soldiers with black armor.
Arent those the iron troops?
Zahas eyes looked shocked.
It seems like it has sothing to do with Gaya. ^n1[TL/N: Confederacy]
Lets try talking to them first.
Seol Young sent his spiritual qi to them.
But none of them responded. Zaha gave out a golden halo, but it also had the sa result.
.!
The iron troops attacked without a word with their sharp spears, and Seol Young quickly raised his sword to block them. And the mont their weapons clashed, he felt it,
Strong!
They werent just ordinary soldiers. It was like they were elite soldiers who had been trained to kill. Their spears flew in from all directions, aiming for their vital points.
Seol Young flung himself to the side and thrust his sword at the helt of one of the soldiers.
But that soldier didnt fall right away. After a couple more stabs, he finally managed to knock him down.
These people are strong!
Zahas Dead Slayer sword pierced through one of the n and pushed them into the wall. He only stopped fighting after being crushed.
There is no way this will end. Let us gather and just blow them all down together.
Nice.
Seol Young raised his spiritual qi to the maximum and drew a huge demigod in the air. However, as he was about to do that, he couldnt move, as if his hands had beco stiff.
It is strange.
Before he could end it, his entire body turned numb in an instant. All of his spiritual qi suddenly disappeared, and all his talismans disappeared right then.
At that mont, the iron troops stabbed their spears at Seol Young at the sa ti.
Seol Young-rang! What are you doing?!
Zaha drew out his sword and cut them down.
What is it?
My body isnt moving.
Seol Young could barely utter that.
Strange! Those iron troops must be having so secret thing going on!
What did you do?
Zaha frowned and swung his sword at the troops. But before he could cut down the last one, his arms suddenly stopped.
.?
Right at that mont, the iron soldiers spear grazed straight through Zahas arm.
His cloth was torn, and blood splashed everywhere.
At the sa ti, the sharp blue tip of the spear moved toward him.
What?
Despite all of that, Zaha still couldnt use his arm, and blood continued to drip down his sleeve.
Seol Youngs mind went out.
Wait!
Even when he shouted, the other person couldnt hear him. And just before the spear pierced him again, this ti, suddenly
Whoosh!
A long blade flew through the wind. It rotated once in the air and slashed the neck of the iron soldier with trendous force.
?
Seol Young looked at the blade with shocked eyes.
A thick demonic qi was around the body of the sword. Then, as if the effect had run out, it fell to the ground.
Aha.
It was then that he found out what had happened.
In a mont of desperation, Zaha manipulated one of the buried weapons with his demonic qi, just like when he controlled the army of bamboo in the past.
My skill in catching is quite helpful.
Zaha said.
Despite his calm face, drops of blood continued to drip from the wound. When all the iron troops died, the odd paralysis and numbing that they had cast also disappeared.
First, we need to treat the wound.
Seol Young hurriedly searched through his body.
Just then, another clanking sound ca from beyond the stone wall.
Lets move for now.
Zaha said.
If we fight those n, the sa situation will continue to happen. First, we have to find a way to deal with the odd numbness. If not.
We will die like dogs.
Seol Young accepted that fact. So the two of them hurriedly went out of the stone chamber, got out of the long passage, and went up to the ground.
Finally!
Jung Myung, who had been hiding in the bushes, ca out.
Did you find anything?
As she asked that, her eyes widened when she saw them covered in blood.
What happened?
Jung Myung and the wood spirits ran up to them in surprise.
