Hmm.
The Demonic Kings who had just been provoked all twitched and glared down at Woon-seong in silence. So sneered in derision, others snorted in amusent.
Woon-seong wanted them to challenge him? What a joke.
This was an act showing that the position of the Demonic King was clearly at the top of the Cult.
Combining all the recorded and unrecorded mbers of the Cult, there were less than 50 Demonic Kings.
Born and raised under the banner of survival of the fittest, they stood proud.
Gwan Tae-ryang noticed, however, that so of these Demonic Kings looked a little cautious. It was clear that they werent exactly afraid, rely cautious.
The Captain of the Charred Dragon Unit, a young man less than half their age, was trying to challenge them.
Was Woon-seongs confidence re youthful arrogance? Given his achievents so far, it was hard to say.
If Woon-seong had pointed one of them out, it would have been easy for that Demonic King to step forward. However, as Demonic Kings, the current situation was a bit uncomfortable .
After a few beats of chaos, there was one person who slowly walked up.
I accept your challenge.
A uniform that was almost entirely black with dozens of throwing knives strapped to his body, also a katana to the side.
With his appearance, several Demonic Kings flinched.
Cult of the Heavenly Demon, Demonic King Rank 26.
It was the Demonic King of Dark Pursuit, Yeo Moon-rang.
The mans feet seed to stay on the ground when he moved. This was a showcase of his self-made footwork, called Ghost Steps.
Several Demonic Kings tilted their heads as they watched Yeo Moon-rang walk up to the stage. It was a bit weird for him to be making a move. The man was an assassin, most skilled for stealth during the darkest of nights. Even if he wasnt weak, direct confrontation out in the open like this was not his strong suit. Also, there should have been no conflict between the two.
Woon-seong was interested in testing himself against this opponent of his, but was also confused as to why Yeo Moon-rang had accepted his challenge. Does he have a reason?
Yeo Moon-rang was also staring at Woon-seong, but he was thinking of other things.
It looks like the Blood Slaying Five Shadows have failed. I taught them myself; they were my disciples. Each one of them was equivalent to a low ranking Great Demon. They were supposed to beco the next Demon King of Dark Pursuit after yet none of them returned after trying to assassinate the young man in front of .
Yeo Moon-rang observed the young man standing in front of him. The mission he had received a few days ago rang in his ears.
Is this the organization known as Death Curtain run by Yeo Moon-rang? I have a job request for you.
Not all Demonic Kings did, but many high-ranking Demons ran private groups. It was like the Heavenly Brain Tower under the Senior Strategist, a small group loyal to itself. Many Great Demons also imitated such groups, though those held much less influence.
So organizations were not official, or were at least not advertised by their leaders.
Death Curtain was one such hidden group, as it was an assassination organization created to effectively silence people in and out of the Cult. All involved identities were hidden when missions were made and received.
It was a request like always, but the target this ti was a big shot. That was the reason why I sent the Blood Slaying Five Shadows But none of them ca backand their target, the Captain of the Charred Dragon Unit, returned alive and even attended the Banquet.
The death of the Five Shadows was a problem too, but Yeo Moon-rang was more worried about the consequences of failing the request. Any request made to the Death Curtain had to be accomplished. That was why he stepped out. He needed to finish the request with his own hands.
Yeo Moon-rang picked up so knives with his left hand. Four in total, placed between each finger. With his right hand, he grasped his katana and slowly walked forward.
There wasnt much Yeo Moon-ryang could do other than fight Woon-seong now that he had stepped onto the stage.
Woon-seong felt the pressure of the Demonic King and wondered to himself: How much can I do without taking any bracers off?
He would think about the assassination attempt later, the current situation had not been resolved yet.
Between opponents, there was nothing to talk about.
Peng-!
Woon-seong swung the White Night Spear and the air in front of him exploded.
No! What exploded was the inky black robe that Yeo Moon-rang had been wearing!
He disappeared! Hes at the level of being able to hide himself even without the assistance of darkness!
Woon-seong imdiately activated the Heavenward Soul Earthen Body, which would heighten his sensory abilities. With its qi released, the air seed to be distorted around him.
Above !
Woon-seong imdiately looked up and hurled a throwing knife into the air.
Grrrr!
The energy shredded the air horribly, but the throwing knife did nothing to the katana falling down. It looked like a black line a line that connected the living to the dead.
Ding!
Woon-seongs knife hit the oncoming katana and bounced off, falling to the ground. However, he had gathered so information from that attack.
Its not a simple attack with his katanaJust as I expect from a Demonic King.
Spear Curtain!
Woon-seong moved to create a solid wall in front of him, instinctively blocking the oncoming attack.
Of course, his choice was not wrong.
The katana aid at his heart crashed against this curtain of light and the surrounding air exploded.
Yeo Moon-rang thought, It makes sense that the Five Shadows lost. He realized the hidden throwing knife behind my katana.
Whats happening?
Its too fast, I cant see anything!
Given the speed and destructive quality of Demonic Kings, the audience was having a hard ti enjoying the show.
Whats happening?
Its too fast, I cant see anything!
Even so, the battle continued.
Despite the shield he had ford, the hidden knife still grazed Woon-seongs shoulders.
Im lucky it wasnt poisoned. Maybe he isnt using it because were on stage?
But at the sa ti, Woon-seong had also been holding back! He shook his arms roughly, rolling his shoulders. He removed the weights and a sense of freedom wrapped around his whole body.
As he did so, sothing ca flying out of the dust, flung towards Yeo Moon-rang. It was obviously sothing heavy based on the whistling sound of the air.
Yeo Moon-rang realized he did not have ti to dodge and instead put his arms up to shield himself. Like a true assassin, his judgent was swift and his actions were even faster. Knowing he could not dodge, he crossed his arms imdiately!
Boom! Boom!
Yeo Moon-rang felt fractures in his arms as sothing heavy thudded into his body. He was lucky nothing had been broken, but the pain was still there. His arms trembled and he raised his head, enduring the agony.
But
Boom!
Ugh!
Yeo Moon-rang looked at what had been thrown at him, suppressing his excruciating pain.
Iron bracers?
At first glance, it was just an iron bracer and didnt look very heavy. As Yeo Moon-rang raised his head, he noticed Woon-seong, whose steps looked lighter than before. There seed to be a single iron ring still bound to his body.
Seeing that, Yeo Moon-rang felt two emotions at the sa ti: shock and anger. As he was still absorbing how absurd the situation was, red hot anger hit him. Of course, anger was more intense than any other emotion and stirred up his energy, causing it to surge outwards.
I am dumbfounded. You dare think of fighting while wearing chunks of tal? And furthermore you didnt take any of them off until now!?
Woon-seong felt the power rushing into this body, but had to control himself from becoming intoxicated by this liberation. He picked up his spear, his own energy soaring. Taking them off feels so much better. By the way, why the fuck do you care if I wear bracers or not?
As Woon-seong twisted in midair to avoid the oncoming attacks, he threw so knives.
Ta-da-da-da!
There were sounds and sparks as iron clashed with iron, the energy released distorting the air.
Hmph!
Is that the Great Eight Moves of the Cloud Dragon of the Kunlun?!
Yeo Moon-rang seed to recognize so of the Orthodox skills that Woon-seongs spear style contained. Noits similar but different. But because of the skills of the Unrecorded within the White Night Spear and his new experiences, Woon-seongs moves were still different.
Let see how you can stop this, too!
Yeo Moon-rang gathered his energy together, causing the strands to overlap one by one and increasing the overall strength of the attack.
The complete synchronization of his sword and qi. Sword aura!
Usually, when you saw at such a show of strength, the overwhelming presence alone would cause you to lose your will to fight.
That wasnt the case for Woon-seong.
Hehe, bring it on!
Woon-seongs eyes flashed with strength, glowing with determination. His energy flowed through his forearms like a haze and gathered at the tip of his spear.
Spear aura!
Since Yeo Moon-rang wanted to use sword aura, then Woon-seong would use spear aura.
Furthermore, a dark, hazy energy wrapped around Woon-seong like a garnt.
Intimidation Dress!
Whats more, the White Night Spear trembled as it reacted to Woon-seongs energy. The will of the spear resonated with him, pouring out its energy and accepting his will. At that mont, it was as if he had truly beco one with his spear.
The light from his spear was like a constellation that glowed brightly within the night that was the Intimidation Dress.
It was a complete form of spear aura!
