The Illegitimate Who Devours Weapons

Weapon-Eating Illegitimate Son Episode 50

Cheonwisan Mountain is a goblin’s paradise.

In Dokkaebi-ter, the goblin has absolute power.

The mountain man climbed three hills in one stride, and lit a will-o’-the-wisps in his eyes as he looked at Lee Cheol in the distance.

The magic of folding the earth and running, the clairvoyance that allows one to see a thousand miles away.

The mountaineer saw Lee Cheol reaching out his hand toward Park.

“Hey, you little shit!”

Wow!

The mountain man stood between Park and Lee Chul in the blink of an eye as if he had teleported.

Lee Cheol’s eyes widened.

“Sir, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. But if you could just let this go for a moment, I’d appreciate it. That guy right now…….”

Lee Cheol greeted him politely, but kept glancing at Park Yi behind the mountain ranger.

At that sight, sparks flew into the mountain keeper’s eyes.

“Is this kid crazy? How dare he try to take a chance on me!”

“yes?”

Lee Cheol tilts his head as if to ask what that means.

The mountain keeper ground his teeth.

“I’ve never seen anyone like you in my life! I’m going to contact your family right now and turn your training and everything upside down!”

“What are you talking about now?”

“Surely you wouldn’t say you didn’t know! The spirit you were chasing while spreading murderous intent was a spirit named Park! After all, spirits aren’t easy to kill! Not to mention on Yeongsan Mountain, on this mountain where I am……!”

“Yes? Why would I kill a spirit?”

Only after seeing Lee Cheol’s bewildered face did the mountain man realize that something was going on strangely.

Come to think of it, why is that guy Park wagging his tail like that?

Are you saying that the guy I thought was hunting a spirit was holding a mallet and a hoe instead of hunting tools?

-Keeeeeek!

At that moment, Park let out a strange cry and fled away, waving his short tail like a nine-legged squirrel as if teasing him.

“Ouch! That kid!”

“Hey hey! Wait a minute!”

The mountain keeper stopped Lee Cheol, who was about to kick the ground right away.

“Why on earth are you chasing after Park?”

“That guy stole my elixir!”

“A leap? No, you stole it? No, what the hell are you talking about!”

What the heck is a leap, and does it make sense for a spirit to steal something from a human?

“Sorry! I’ll explain later!”

While the mountain man was momentarily dazed, Lee Cheol kicked the ground again and flew.

“Hey hey! Arthur! How are you going to find someone who’s already hidden! Come here and listen first……!”

The mountain man was startled as he tried to catch Lee Cheol who was running away.

All spirits, unless they were special, were skilled at hiding their presence.

It is different from human stealth skills, so no matter how special the aura is, it is difficult to find.

‘But isn’t that guy flying right now towards where Park is hiding?’

There was a deep sunset glow in both eyes, and even though the tips of his feet were bursting with aura, not a single scratch appeared on the ground.

‘Was that guy originally that fast? And even with the Magic Eye, how does he detect the presence of spirits like a ghost?’

The mountain man touched his forehead as he watched Lee Cheol, who had already run to the other ridge and was fighting with Park.

At most, three months.

It was a time when interest was being drawn.

What on earth has been going on?

* * *

It’s already been four months since I arrived at Cheonwisan Mountain, and if you count the days, a little over three months have passed.

My daily life hasn’t changed much.

Morning hike, rest, martial arts training, rest, Qigong training, rest, elixir making, sleep.

Sometimes, when I got tired of the repetitive days, I changed the order in which I did my training.

Anyway, there was no day off.

If I were outside, I would have collapsed from exhaustion, so I would have forced myself to take a day off, but at least on Cheonwisan Mountain, I didn’t have to worry about physical or magical fatigue, so I continued with my intense schedule.

Among them, making elixir was something I would make at the end of a hard day, trying hard to ignore the urge to quickly get into bed and slowly make it.

Cheonwisan Mountain was rich in high-quality medicinal herbs and magic plants.

As a result, I became increasingly greedy and it took me almost 100 days to complete the leap.

Finally today, after grinding the last ingredient, it was complete.

I went out on a hike to find the ingredients and came back.

But that was the moment.

-Kkiiing!

A strange-looking beast came into the yard of my dormitory, next to the zelkova tree.

But those beasts didn’t look like ordinary creatures.

It was a spirit.

To be exact, they were ‘spirits’.

Auspicious and spiritual creatures.

Those spirits were fighting over my elixir with their eyes sparkling.

Then, as if they had come to some kind of agreement among themselves, a sheep with nine short tails started running away with a flying poison in its mouth.

Of course I chased after it, and then I met Sanjigi.

And while he was being held by the mountain man, the distance between them widened.

I tried to follow him diligently again, but Park ended up swallowing the elixir in that short amount of time.

“Oh, I see. Ahem, … … Uh, um, sorry.”

The mountain keeper, who had learned the whole story, scratched the back of his head and turned away.

I spoke in a deliberately low voice.

“Ginseng that is at least 40 or 50 years old.”

“huh?”

“Hasuo, white ginseng, dragon ginseng, pine mushroom, Cordyceps sinensis grown from the corpses of magic insects…….”

He continued with a deep sigh.

“It was hard to collect them. There were many medicines with different properties, so it was even harder to make them. I feel a bit empty. I made the medicine while losing sleep, but a spirit stole it. Who would have thought that it would be interrupted and everything would go down the drain?”

“Oh, no, that’s right. If you run so fiercely, wouldn’t I be a little surprised?”

The mountain keeper raised his voice in confusion.

But I was secretly surprised.

‘Every single ingredient in that damn elixir is so vicious.’

If you look at them individually, they may be good medicinal herbs, but if that much magic herb and medicinal herbs were put together, it could truly be compared to an elixir.

In addition, judging from the fact that he packed his luggage in great detail when he entered the mountain, it seems that he also brought other basic medicines and tools… … .

‘Isn’t this kid creating a potion that even spirits would covet?’

If it was just a decent elixir, there’s no way the spirits would want it.

If it was something that a spirit could aim for, it would have a fairly pure aura.

It was only then that I remembered what Butler Choi had said.

‘I should have watched it more closely. What the heck is this guy?’

At that moment, a sigh as if the earth were about to collapse reached the mountain keeper’s ears.

Of course, that sigh came from Lee Cheol’s mouth.

“… … I’m sorry about that. You son of a bitch.”

“This is one of the reasons I came to Cheonwisan Mountain. That medicine was one of the important goals.”

“Yeah, hey, I gave you permission to collect it anyway, so what if it gets taken away?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say anything to you, Master Mountain Keeper. Well, that’s true. I did give you permission, but I got these things from your land.”

I clearly received an apology, but why does my heart still feel like it’s being stabbed?

The mountain man, who had been hesitating, declared loudly as if he had made up his mind.

“Hey! Okay! I’ll compensate you!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You missed it because of me, so I’m going to compensate you! What is it? What do you want!”

I glanced at the mountain ridge and then lowered my head again.

“How dare you speak to the guardian spirit of the family… … It’s okay.”

“No, kid! Tell me anything, I’ll listen!”

Only then did I raise my head slightly and look at the mountain lion through my drooping hair.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

The mountain man shuddered.

Creepy, I got chills.

“Oh, oh, yeah. But you’re only going to give me the value of that leap?”

The mountain man said, “Ahem, ahem,” coughing softly.

“That alone makes me so grateful. But, Your Majesty.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Do you know that I came to the mountain with special permission from my father?”

“Oh, but why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

“I have to report the results of my training to my father. But since this has come up… I’m really sorry, but I think I have to tell my father about this-.”

– The moment I was about to say that, the mountain keeper cut me off.

“Hey you punk! You can’t say that!”

“Yes? Why?”

I pretended not to hear.

The mountain man glared at me with his ears red.

“Hey! If you say it like that, you’ll be breaking your promise to your ancestors! And……”

If that happens, the mountain keeper will end up causing trouble to a mere trainee.

There is no joke like this one.

“Anyway, Imma, I’ll compensate you for that separately, so keep your mouth shut!”

“You promised?”

“Okay, I promise.”

Okay.

I received a warning from a goblin.

I raised my head sharply.

‘It’s a bit of a waste to make the potion this time, but I can make another elixir anyway. There are still some ingredients that I haven’t used up yet, and I’ll continue to collect elixir ingredients during the remaining training period.’

More importantly, through this, he was able to obtain the goblin’s promise.

A goblin can never break a promise he made.

It is a characteristic of a mysterious race created by nature.

It’s not the kind of story where breaking a promise would result in some disadvantage, but the goblin race itself is ‘absolutely’ unable to break a promise they made.

“……What are you? Why are your eyes suddenly shining?”

“I opened my heart because you said you would give me a reward.”

“Don’t you dare open your heart! You damn bastard! You fooled me!”

The mountain keeper shouted.

The fact that there is a person who deceives goblins is also just like the legend.

“You lied to me? I never once asked you for compensation.”

“Ha! I’ve gotten so old. To be fooled by a brat like this! Damn it!”

The mountain man desperately wanted a bottle of wine in his hand, but there was no way a bottle of wine could appear out of nowhere.

“Ha! Damn it! So what should I do for you? Should I give you a gold nugget? Or maybe, give me a weapon?”

I tried hard to suppress my smile and opened my mouth towards the mountain man with a very polite attitude.

“That’s okay.”

What the mountain man said wasn’t bad, but there were things that came to mind that would be more helpful to me right now.

“I would like to receive the mountain keeper’s time.”

At my words, the mountain man’s expression was filled with puzzlement.

* * *

I was standing at the entrance to the zelkova tree leading to the training grounds.

I slowly tensed my body, drew up my magical power, and spread it throughout my entire body.

“Okay, ready.”

I took a deep breath and walked towards the hole.

Slowly, the dark scenery began to change into the appearance of a training ground.

Soon, the sight of a quiet training ground came into view.

But the air was different.

In the training grounds where the air was always pleasant, a pungent, poisonous smell suddenly began to spread.

-Keeek!

Warm-.

Something thick and long, like a building pillar, touched the ground.

The sound of heels hitting the ground.

Something is happening here that should never happen.

I turned my head towards where the sound came from.

Half-human, half-beast. A monster whose lower half is a spider, but whose upper half is human-shaped.

Queen of Human Faces.

I didn’t panic and just raised my magic power.

Mujin moves.

Focus on one posture, one position.

As if to prove the results of the training I have been doing.

Boom! Boom!

I pushed forward, pushing away the swirling toxic smoke and flicking away the spider’s legs that were pouring down.

‘It’s different from a year ago. I’ve grown too.’

The current Queen of the Inmyeonju is not even concerned about the fire in the dungeon, and has already learned to control her own body to some extent.

Still, I am reading the movements of the Queen of the In-Myeonju.

Unlike before when I was trying hard to avoid fatal wounds, I am now able to properly avoid them using my eyes and intuition.

‘And so are my movements.’

I became more confident after experiencing it in real life.

That just by practicing the basics, you can sufficiently raise your overall level.

It’s only been a year, but I’m definitely different from my past self.

Okay, now that you know it.

Now is the real start.

‘So that the Aura skill you use first is the same as the Aura skill you use last.’

He muttered as if reciting a spell.

Then, before he knew it, a strong aura was swirling around Mujin.

Kang Ki-gong, King Yeomra.

The name of the god who judges the prisoners of hell.

This is a technique that reinterprets the records of Auror skills that my aunt saw in old documents.

The torrent of aura that stretched out like a whip, binding the limbs of a prisoner, bound the numerous legs of the Queen of the In-Mask.

-Keeeeeeeek!

The Queen of the Face-Spangled Banner let out a scream that was as if she was going to burst.

And in the next moment, Mujin took the form of a giant sword.

Mujin eclipse, Chuckma.

The tip of the sword had a sharp aura of cutting wind.

Suga’s coming!

The Inmyeonju Queen desperately tried to defend herself by using her magical powers, but all of her defenses were cut off in one blow.

And I still had some strength left.

The massive magical power strengthened by the amplification technique was all converted into the lightning aura skill.

Kwarrrrung!

The sound of thunder echoed across the clear sky.

The world was bathed in light with a sharp flash, and soon the light faded, revealing the face of the Queen of the In-Myeon-Joo.

-Keeeek… … .

As expected, it was a level 5 boss monster.

Although the wound was close to fatal, the Inmyeonju Queen did not die and was still writhing.

The compound eyes of the Queen of the In-Myeonju were filled with life.

I, who was facing it, knew best what it meant to live.

‘Donggwijin!’

-Kiaaaaah!

The Queen of the In-Myeonju kicked the ground.

Even though I had poured all my strength into it, I was powerless to stop the Queen of the In-Face.

Phew!

But the Queen of the In-Myeonju never reached me.

The Queen’s figure dispersed like vapor just before reaching me.

Bam!

A small talisman fell unnoticed where the Queen of the In-Myeonju had been.

“Damn, I’m the one who’s messing around with that brat.”

And in the rising smoke, Han In-yeong retrieved the talisman that had fallen to the ground.

The one who revealed himself was none other than the mountain man.

I smiled at him.
