Chapter 104: The Suicide Squad (6)
The once-sacred Jipchang Mountain was now swarming with evil spirits and demonic energy.
It was because of the corpses of the Ten Demon Cult piled up like mountains.
“Ugh…”
In Hyunjin-in let out a low groan as he took in the horrific sight of all manner of mountain beasts devouring the corpses.
By principle, the corpses should be collected and burned, but this was wartime.
There was no time for that.
I stood behind In Hyunjin-in and cautiously called out to him.
“Master.”
“It’s fine. The Primordial Heavenly Lord will understand.”
“……”
Master Inhyeonjin forced a smile and said.
“Let’s go up.”
“Yes.”
A short while later.
The returning garrison left only a few sentries on watch and immediately fell asleep.
They must have been quite exhausted after the fierce battle.
I sat atop the roof of the bunker, gazing down at Jomcheong Mountain.
Gooo.
Watching the pitch-black darkness settle over it, a sense of unease about the battles to come overwhelmed me.
We won today.
But there’s no guarantee we’ll win tomorrow.
The Ten Demon Alliance probably didn’t use their full strength in today’s battle.
Among the Sipmallyeon who attacked today, it was hard to find any masters beyond those who emerged at the very end.
Moreover, not a single supreme master had participated, save for the Bloodline Elder.
Even so, they were no easy foes. If the masters join the fray, it’s crystal clear the battle will be far tougher than today’s.
