Chapter 510: Twilight (1)
Oh Il-hwan, the scholar responsible for managing the Celestial Silence Treasury, was hurled backward by the shockwave, only to be caught by the gate guards before he hit the ground.
As the violent tremor subsided, everyone’s robes, which had been flaring wildly, gradually settled back into place.
But the warriors were far from unscathed.
Each of them struggled to endure the sheer force of the energy wave that had just erupted.
Oh Il-hwan quickly made his decision.
“Inside the treasury! We must deploy the Gate Protection Formation!”
The Gate Protection Formation of the Celestial Silence Treasury.
A defensive technique refined through generations, meant to safeguard the vast collection of martial arts manuals housed within Ipwang Fortress.
As the name implied, it protected the gate.
By channeling their deep inner strength, the fortress guards would weave a defensive energy barrier, forming a shield akin to Internal Energy Armor around the treasury’s sanctuary.
It was a measure meant not for the fall of the fortress, but for moments when the tide of battle could still be turned.
[Yes, the foundation of Ipwang Fortress lies in its scholars.]
