Chapter 19: Nirvana Painting (2)

Everyone looked his way.

What was he going to do?

Everyone had a doubtful expression, especially Zaha.

Seol Young just ignored them all.

This Nirvana painting harms people. If it has been four days, there is a good chance that they have been harmed already.

But I clearly heard the voice

Whether it is the voice of a human or a ghost trying to possess people is something we will never know.

This resulted in a chilling silence.

Seol Young-rang, what are you doing?

Zaha spoke up.

Its like rubbing salt in wounds, no matter how you look at it.

It isnt that. I am trying to help. These people are victims, and I hope it gets resolved.

Seol Young looked at everyone in the room and said,

But if you continue to do this, it will not do anything. The evil spirit will continue to get stronger. So lets make a deal.

Deal?

They all looked at him with shocked faces.

I will let you know if your family is alive or dead, so everyone will have to calm down and accept the result. How is that?

Everyone looked at him in shock.

You will let us know if they are alive or dead?

I dont even know if he is trapped because of the evil spirit. How can that be possible

They had looks of disbelief.

So you dont want to?

Seol Young asked the people again.

Are you going to make a deal or not?

I will do it. It would be much better if we could know if they are alive or dead!

Everyone spoke in unison.

Seol Young sat on the floor and took a couple of things out.

A mirror, a bottle, a small brush, and yellow paper.

The people were surprised once again.

Isnt that what shamans use?

Everyone groaned.

The two Hwarangs turned their heads away. They were expressing with their entire body that they did not want to be dragged into this.

But more than that

You cannot be surprised already. This is just the start.

It was more annoying to have Zaha around, as he was enjoying the situation.

Just ignore him.

Seol Young didnt even look at him and picked up the brush.

First of all, he wrote letters on the yellow paper.

Rat.

The first zodiac.

After writing that, he clapped his hands once, and the paper floated up. It flinched as it sniffed and looked around. Even though it was paper, it looked like a living rat.

The people spoke.

Is he using spells?

Seol Young made several rats in an instant.

They had seen this kind of summoning numerous times with one or two rats. But they have never heard of a dozen of them being used like this.

And Seol Young blew a low, whistle-like sound, and the paper rats ran.

This is the Twelve Zodiac Beasts Spell.

Zaha was explaining to the others.

Seol Young didnt want to care, but he couldnt stay silent as he turned around and said,

Twelve Zodiac Godly Spell.

Zaha had changed Godly to Beast. In any case, he seemed to know what this was..

Fine.

And so he asked the question.

There are many spells out there, so why did you use that?

An existence that can look into people and spiritsthat is God.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Zaha nodded his head.

I get it. Is that why you borrowed the power of God?

The other Hwarangs exchanged looks.

Even though the spell was something they should side with, this felt different.

So, I asked them to check if there are any living people in the space beyond the painting.

Seol Young explained to the people.

If there are, I told them to secretly smear its sign into the persons life force. If there is one, the rats will come back glowing.

Everyones eyes widened, and they all stayed silent at that moment. They didnt blink, and they stared at the spot where the rats had disappeared.

After a while, the rats came back.

But everything seemed the same.

No matter how much they focused, not a single rat shone.

Ah, as I thought

The peoples faces were contorted.

A grandmother who lost her granddaughter collapsed to her knees.

This

It was one problem after another.

Unknowingly, his gaze turned to the Hwarangs, and they to him.

This made it more awkward.

?

Zaha was done thinking. He looked at both sides, and his eyes shone.

It worked.

Was that what that expression meant?

Dozens of mouths opened with shocked faces as they passed.

Xuan Tian Zen Martial Arts?

Yes, High Governor.

The Hwarangs awkwardly answered.

The Black Tortoises also had a tortoise-like character. They didnt know how to hide their feelings like others. Still, they were the ones who did their best.

We were called in first because the first Hwarang couldnt break down the wall. The four Hwarangs and three helpers were just trying their best to do this.

Seol Young felt bad.

But didnt he decide to put personal feelings aside for this mission?

So he took the lead.

Here we go. I am sure the people have calmed down, and now it is time to look into this mysterious incident that happened.

Right.

Zaha chimed in.

Everyone saw it.

The gold line around the huge room and the place where people went missing.

The third, fifth, seventh, and eighth members took their positions along with three officials.

Soon, they drew their swords, let out a sharp cry, and stabbed the walls at the same time.

Thud!

There was a strong vibration in the ground, with seven points being hit. It was an overwhelming force, and they unleashed their swords, performing their divine powers.

Upon seeing Seol Young, their faces changed. He bowed his head to hide the agitation he was feeling inside.

High Governor.

Zaha smiled and then turned to Seol Young.

Ah, come to think of it, Seol Young-rang might not know this martial art.

The atmosphere changed.

If someone else had said it, he would have yelled back at them.

High Governor has been away for eight years, so he might not know it.

The Black Tortoise Troops were thinking this.

I know.

Seol Young replied.

Among the four troops, the Black Tortoise was a symbol of patience and perseverance.

And they placed more emphasis on building a solid foundation, which was probably why they showed slower progress than the other troops.

However, with diligent training, they become stronger and exert mighty power. In terms of power itself, they surpassed the other troops.

Among them, the Black Tortoise was known to be the best at the Xuan Tian Zen Martial Arts.

Seven characters represented the seven points of the martial arts, and the seven stars that represent Xian Tian were revered as Gods: Fight, Ox, Woman, Hollow, Danger, Room, and Barrier. Concentrate the spiritual power at the tip of the sword and explode it simultaneously.

If he did this in an instant, everything would topple.

No matter how strong the barrier was, it would have to collapse.

But even that martial art is useless.

Seol Young spoke without any emotion.

The Black Tortoise Hwarangs were shocked. To their ears, Seol Youngs words were demeaning.

Of course, he just had to use that in this situation.

They couldnt help but recall what had happened in the past. And the fifth member, Beom Hyun, said,

Then I hope Seol Young-rang teaches me a couple of tricks that he uses.

Seol Young said nothing.

He had to get this done.

If he could break the barrier made by the evil spirit, things would become easier for them. If spiritual power didnt work here, he could try borrowing the power of spells.

However, since he knew that the Black Tortoise Troops were here, if they saw it, they would make a fuss to kill him.

But when was the last time he cared?

This was a matter of human life, and he didnt have time to sugarcoat things.

Seol Young stepped forward.

He always had a cold expression, but dressed only in a white robe, he looked more like a devil.

Everyone observed his movements, but he continued to ignore those gazes and stood in front of the wall and chanted.

Humble and proud, cloudy and clear

The supernatural powers awakened right then, and the aura that flowed through the sword merged with the spiritual energy and rose like a wave.

Seol Young waved his sword.

There was a clear sound of something being hit and plucked.

Powerful spirits began to come out of the place the sword touched, and it was like an iron ball.

!

The faces of the Hwarangs changed. Some faces turned blue, and others red.

He is using that! Insane man!

Everyone glared at Seol Young with vicious eyes.

But he was aloof.
