Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 234

Cardinal Janzac, who was wearing a golden priest robe, sharply gazed at Mu-Gun. The esteemed Sky God Yupir directly informed you of this?

Has the Yupir Church not received any revelation yet? Mu-Gun asked.

The Saintess who should be receiving the words of the holy Yupir passed and returned to our Gods embrace not long ago. Unfortunately, she did not appoint a successor beforehand, leaving us incapable of receiving their revelations.

I see. That explains things. To answer your question, Sky God Yupir has indeed given me a revelation that the Demon God has descended and that I am to eliminate the threat as Gods representative. They also granted me a small amount of power. Surely you can feel that energy emanating from me, Cardinal Janzac?"

Janzac carefully examined Mu-Guns energy.

I can certainly feel their presence within you. You truly are Gods representative.

The holy energy Janzac sensed in Mu-Gun was so powerful that the holy energy of the Yupir Churchs guardiansthe Golden Thunder Orders paladins, whom Yupir blessed with powerseverely paled in comparison. Even their twelve Grand Masters seemed to be nothing more than a firefly in the face of the sun. It served as evidence that he was Yupirs representative.

Thank you for believing in me, Mu-Gun said.

It is unfortunate that our church does not have a Saintess right now. Otherwise, she would have already received a revelation about you and that we should spare no effort in helping you. With the Saintess position vacant, we cannot take action. I hope you understand.

I do, but I also hope that the church chooses a new Saintess as soon as possible. It would be best to reestablish divine communication with Yupir.

Thank you.

Mu-Gun turned to Denion and Fasar. Can you brief me on the current situation?

They are standing by in groups outside the capital, probably waiting until nightfall, Fasar replied.

Are they all in one place?

No, they have split their army into four.

We can eliminate them by group, then.

Im afraid it is not that simple. Denion shook his head.

What do you mean? Mu-Gun asked.

The Whiteligers are cunning bastards. If we attack any of the four streaks, the others will immediately invade the empty royal capital.

How can you be so sure?

That was what happened to one of the nearby fiefs. They attempted to take out the invading armies one by one, but the Whiteligers took that opportunity to destroy their defenseless capital.

How do they learn that other streaks are under attack despite how far they are from each other?

The Alpha Whiteligers can produce sound waves that can travel quite a distance. They seem to be using that to send signals to the other streaks, Fasar replied.

We simply have to eliminate them all before their alpha can use that, then. That should prevent the others from catching wind of our plans.

Killing the alpha is no easy feat.

It is not impossible either.

Do you have a surefire way to eliminate the Alpha Whiteliger?

Yes. Defeating it should stop them from using the Howl of Madness and sending signals to the other streaks. We will be able to wipe them out without the other streaks knowing.

If so, we would have nothing to worry about, but Denion still looked to be in doubt.

I have tested Lord Argons skills with my own eyes. It would be best to do as he says, Philford vouched for Mu-Gun upon noticing the look on Denions face.

As a Grand Master and the captain of the Kraiss Kingdoms Knight Order, Philfords words held considerable credibility. His validation was more than enough to eliminate Denions doubts.

If we proceed with your plan, what will you have us do specifically? You are not planning on taking them on alone, are you? Denion asked.

How about having all our Master-rank knights ambush the Whiteligers?

I believe in your skills, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Failure to defeat the alpha will allow it to signal the other streaks to attack the capital. If all our Master-rank knights are out on the field, who will protect the capital in that scenario? Fasar questioned.

If youre that concerned about the capitals safety, then only Sir Philford, the Golden Lion Orders Master-rank knights, and I alone will head out, Mu-Gun said, signifying that it did not really matter if they were the only ones who fought.

Isnt that too shameful on our end?

I disagree. We are here to help the Delphinia Kingdom not because we want to be rewarded but because we have to prevent the Demon Gods threat. We are just doing what we are supposed to do regardless of the Delphinia Kingdoms intentions.

... I can feel your sincerity. As someone who has sworn to protect our nation, it would be disgraceful to leave this matter to you and just do nothing. Our knights will join you in the field, Denion declared.

You do not have to. Please do not go out of your way to do that.

Its alright. We cannot just stand around when our kingdom is at risk.

What if the capital is attacked by the other Whiteliger streaks?

I trust that you wont let something like that happen.

I will be sure to repay your trust. Do you not need to get permission from His Majesty first, though? Mu-Gun asked.

You do not have to worry about that. His Majesty has given me full authority over the capitals defense.

His Majestys has firm trust in you.

I am still nothing compared to you, whom Sky God Yupir trusts, Denion responded in kind.

Haha. Shall we go, then?

Are you sure? I know for a fact that you came here as soon as your previous battle ended. You have not gotten any proper rest yet.

I am fine. I will rest after getting rid of all the monsters.

I see. Then lets head out.

Mu-Gun nodded and headed out with Philford and the Golden Lion Orders Master-rank knights. Denison followed behind them with the Blue Dragon Orders four Master-rank knights.

Unlike the martial artists of the Central Plains murim, the Avalon Continents knights were not well-versed in movement art. Grand Masters Denion and Philford could not keep up with him, and the Masters were even slower.

If I knew this would happen, I would have just gone alone.

Traveling with the eleven knights behind him frustrated Mu-Gun. What took them two hours on foot would have only taken fifteen minutes if he was alone. Unable to tolerate the slow pace anymore, Mu-Gun taught the eleven knights the Central Plains murims movement arts.

The knights initially failed to understand the unfamiliar martial arts, but Mu-Guns detailed explanation helped them make sense of it. Their movements were awkward when they first tried it out, but they became more natural over time.

Since they were all ranked Master or higher, every member of their streak quickly adapted and absorbed the new martial arts. After over an hour of teaching the knights, their movement art finally stabilized to some extent, allowing them to continue their journey.

Using movement art doubled their speed. The hour it took for him to teach the knights proved worth it, considering it reduced their travel time by half.

After traveling for more than an hour, Mu-Gun and his party finally reached Villanu City. At the highest point of its castle, two hundred Whiteligers had gathered.

The location allowed them to monitor all directions and spot incoming enemies with ease, preventing anyone from ambushing or surprising them.

Mu-Gun was in awe of the Whiteligers wit. Even if they had the high ground and never let their guard down, if he really wanted to conceal his presence, they would never be able to detect him. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for the eleven knights accompanying him. If Mu-Gun advanced with them, the Whiteligers would likely spot them.

Hence, Mu-Gun decided to move on his own.

I will go on ahead and kill the alpha of this Whiteliger streak first.

By yourself?

Moving together risks the Whiteligers noticing us. As soon as I kill their alpha, please begin our offense.

The knights nodded in response.

How would you know which one is the alpha? Denion asked.

One of them possesses exceptionally strong energy. Wouldnt that be their chief?

Although they were quite far from the monsters, activating the Thunder Gods Heavenly Eyes allowed Mu-Gun to detect an extraordinarily powerful Whiteliger.

The Whiteligers were like lions, their pure white manes akin to symbols of power. The cleaner and more coveted their mane, the stronger they were.

The Whiteliger that Mu-Gun had singled out had an incomparably clean and charming mane. It was certainly their alpha.

It has to be, Denion agreed.

Ill be back.

Leaving the knights behind, Mu-Gun immediately activated the Dark Specter Stealth Art to erase his presence. He became increasingly blurry until he completely disappeared.

The knights eyes widened as they watched him disappear right before their eyes. They could not even sense his energy anymore.

Although they were impressed beyond belief, a sense of fear also overwhelmed them. It would never happen, but if Mu-Gun hid his presence and hunted them down, he could kill them before they could even lift a finger.

With the Dark Specter Stealth Art activated, Mu-Gun secretly approached the castle where the Whiteligers had gathered. If the sky was fully dark, he would have beelined to his target. After all, the Dark Specter Stealth Art would be at its peak.

However, since he was in broad daylight, he had to make use of the shades as much as possible. Fortunately, the monsters nocturnal nature significantly dulled the Whiteligers senses during the day.

Despite being on full alert, the monsters could not detect Mu-Gun, who was now a mere hundred feet away from them and an additional fifty feet away from their alpha.

If he had the night to cover him, he would have already approached and assassinated the Alpha Whiteliger with a single blow. Fortunately, although the daylight made it hard to get near them, he had a way to kill it from afar.

Mu-Gun raised his hand and aimed at his target. He then unleashed a sword-shaped Thunder God Qi in front of his hand.

The Thunderbolt Sword, which was the size of a regular longsword, increased in size as it flew toward the alpha. In an instant, it grew to the size of a hundred and fifty feet.

Although surprised, the alpha still managed to defend itself by unleashing a wave of energy from its pure-white mane. The strands of energy intertwined to form a thick barrier like a ball of yarn.

Amid their collisions deafening explosion, the Thunderbolt Sword easily shattered the barrier and pierced through and skewered the alpha. Unable to withstand the pressure building up inside, the monster soon blew up.
