[Encounter]
[…I understand. Let’s do that.]
[Click. Hey. Be careful.]
“Then let’s call again next ti.”
Daein ended the conversation, which was quite long, and turned off the communicator. I was a little tired.
“Whoa.”
Then Geum-o, who had been wandering around as if he had been waiting, sauntered over to Dae-in.
Ukkkkkkk!
“Do you want to eat this?”
Daein stared at the fig fruit Geumo held out. I don’t know when he went into the forest to pick the fruit, but Geumo showed off his bright red gums and placed the fruit in Daein’s hand.
Ukki! Ukkikki!
Geumo patted Daein’s back with his long arm and then turned around and headed toward the camp. It was as if he was telling to follow him.
“That bastard. “It seems like he’s really treating like his younger brother or a priest…”
Daein looked at Geumo’s back with an expression of bewildernt.
Is it because we learned the sa martial arts?
Except for the fact that he behaved fiercely when they first t and fought, Geum-o was very friendly to Dae-in.
Just a mont ago, while Daein was on a group call with Manbaknoge, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, the guy took care of chasing away wild animals and other animals around him.
‘Well, if a monkey that learned martial arts lived for 100 years… it would have been difficult to live with other monkeys.’
Crunchy.
The great man took a bite of the fig fruit.
Ukkiit-!
Geum-o looked back and urged Dae-in to co quickly.
“okay. “I’m going, I’m going.”
Daein returned to the camp with Geumo.
As soon as he returned, Cheongwoon, who was waiting, complained.
“You’re really going too far.”
“what?”
“Don’t you leave the mbers to and disappear at night to practice martial arts alone?”
Cheongun thought that the reason Daein disappeared alone every night was to practice martial arts.
Because Daein abandoned his duties as leader, managent of the mbers and all kinds of miscellaneous tasks were all left to Cheongwoon.
The great man shrugged his shoulders, saying there was nothing he could do.
“Since you are originally a mber of the Murim League, you handle the mbers better than . “Why are you doing this again when we finished talking before you ca?”
If you think about it, it was all true, but Cheongwoon did not change his dissatisfied expression.
“I don’t expect much from you either. What I’m saying is that you should at least talk to the mbers often. And if we stay on watch at the sa ti, it won’t matter!”
Yes. The lessor enjoyed all the rights without taking on the responsibility of the manager!
Daein summarily dismissed the vice-captain’s complaints.
“If you’re feeling unfairly treated, why shouldn’t you have won the finals of the martial arts competition?”
“…Co out here now! “I’ll break your arrogance today!”
Cheongwoon huffed and walked to the center of the camp, holding out his sword.
“It’s a combination of sobriety and indecency!”
“Oh oh!”
The mbers who had been scattered and resting flocked to watch.
“You damn cute.”
Daein chuckled and stood on the other side of Cheongun. In fact, he deliberately provoked Cheongun.
‘The best training is real fighting, but if real fighting doesn’t work, you have to do so dancing.’
Contrary to Cheongun’s expectations, Daein did not co to practice alone every night. Instead, I contacted Lily and steadily monitored the situation on the Heavenly Demon Church side.
And today, I got in touch with the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Demon Church and the Manbaku Nogoi.
‘I’m glad the Grand Elder is a person with whom I can communicate.’
There were so misunderstandings, but with the diation and guarantee of Manbaknogoe, Daein was able to bring Daejangro to the sa side.
As a result, they agreed to stop the political war.
But that wasn’t sothing that could be done just by the two of us deciding.
There were several problems in preventing the Great War.
The biggest problem among them is―.
‘Can I defeat the Heavenly Demon Cult?’
The task was to subdue the Heavenly Demon Cult leader, who was suffering from a demonic spell and whose ntal demons were becoming increasingly severe.
Of course, Daein had no intention of fighting fair and square with the Heavenly Demon Cult leader.
‘The basic plan is similar to when capturing Namgung Jeongcheon. ‘Dig a trap, lure it in, and catch it.’
Daein decided that if he did everything he could with his current skills, it would be worth it even if the opponent was a swordsman.
However, Manbaknogoe and Daejangro, who heard Daein’s story, said this.
[Changcheonshingeom? It is absurd to compare such a brat with a religious leader.]
[You will have to prepare ten tis more than that.]
‘Ten tis seems a bit excessive.’
Still, Daein decided to actively reflect the opinions of the two old n. There is no harm in being careful.
‘If the Heavenly Demon Cult is that strong, it would be better for to beco even a little stronger.’
With that in mind, I returned to the camp and found my best training partner waiting with lights on in front of .
Daein said to Cheongun.
“I’m bored if we just dance together, so shall we make a bet?”
“bet?”
Daein pulled out his Changcheonshin sword and taunted Cheongwoon.
“How about the losing side take a light cruise to the Cheonghae branch instead of riding a horse?”
Looking at the remaining distance, we would arrive at the Cheonghae branch of the Murim League tomorrow anyway.
Cheongwoon thought for a mont and added a condition.
“Then, how about not using internal energy and just competing with herbivore?”
If you use internal energy, you could easily get injured. At this ti, if either of them got hurt, it would be a big loss for the Murim Alliance.
The great man nodded calmly.
“good. “I, who have a lot of experience, will give in.”
Cheongwoon smiled in remorse.
“you. “You’re going to regret taking this bet.”
Of the two, Cheongwoon may have more skill, but Cheongwoon was superior in the sophistication of Chosik.
Despite this, the great man seed strangely confident.
“Let’s see who will regret it.”
“Now will be the last ti I have that ti.”
The two n each raised their swords and took a stance.
Even though they did not increase their attack power, a sharp energy blood from the two people.
They moved at the sa ti, without anyone knowing who was first.
Tadat!
In an instant, the distance between the two narrowed, and the swords swung like beams of light, aiming for each other’s hearts and necks.
Cheaeng!
The mont the first sword strike collided, the two swords that bounced off imdiately changed their trajectories and exchanged the second and third sword strikes.
Chaechaechaechaechae!
A dance between two young people that has already surpassed the level of the late Jisoo. Even if he didn’t use internal energy, his skills were overwhelming.
‘her. It’s really on a different level.’
‘Those two people are from the sa generation as us….’
‘This life is bad.’
The mbers of the Demon Demon Corps watched the two people dancing with their mouths open or their eyes wide open.
Chaechaechaechaeng!
Daein tested every martial skill he had against Cheongun.
‘I could use a little more strength here.’
‘My walking technique was wrong just now.’
‘That herbal diet from earlier….’
It was the sa for Cheongwoon. After learning martial arts from the Sword Saint, he t great people and his martial arts skills grew rapidly.
‘Master was so overwhelmingly strong that it felt like an impenetrable wall. But for great people… it’s not a wall that can’t be overco!’
The fire of winning was kindled in the heart of the young man who was a formidable genius. Cheongwoon swung his sword with terrifying concentration.
Adults were similar. He wasn’t the type of person who risked his life to practice martial arts, but that didn’t an he liked losing to others.
“Ha!”
“Chaaaat!”
In this way, the two people were influencing each other and perfecting their respective martial arts skills.
Wow!
The two people who pushed each other away with a strong blow stopped for a mont and took a deep breath. The great man said, gently rotating his stiff wrist.
“I have to leave early tomorrow. Now shall we take a closer look at the ga?”
The idea was to compete with one sword with the strongest Chosik. Cheongun nodded seriously.
“Good. “I’ll show you the best herbal eating I can do.”
Those eyes were solemn. The great man also nodded his head. The two n rushed towards each other without a word.
gulp.
The mbers of the Demon Demon Squad who swallowed their saliva widened their eyes to see the results of their fight.
What is the result?
“Wow!”
Cheongwoon was thrown backwards and rolled several tis on the floor. After a while, Cheongwoon jumped up like a roly-poly.
His face was full of resentnt.
“Landlord! “You’re using your inner energy in such a shaful way!”
“I? It’s not?”
“Why not! You bastard! “You used your skills last ti!”
The great man picked his ears and spoke as if he did not know anything.
“It’s okay to say sothing different because you’re petty.”
“You coward! again! “Do it without really using your skills!”
It was so unfair that Cheongwoon even spoke childishly, unlike usual.
The great man held out his finger and waved it left and right. His expression was quite serious.
“Breakfast. Today’s training ends here. We have to leave early tomorrow morning, so go in and get so rest. “This is an order as a sober person.”
Seeing Daein’s sober appearance for the first ti – why now! – Cheongwoon felt like he was about to burst into anger.
“It’s up to anyone!”
“If you’re feeling unfair, why shouldn’t you win the finals and get sober?”
“Aaaah!”
Although there was a brief commotion, it ended with the mbers pulling out Budanju at Danju’s order.
And the next day, Daein arrived at the Cheonghae branch of the Murim Alliance leading the Destruction Demon Troupe.
***
Cheongwoon, who was at the forefront of the attack, spotted a flag in the distance. He slowed down and ca next to the person.
Anyway, since he lost the bet the day before, Cheongwoon was not riding his horse but was running lightly.
“I can see the Cheonghae branch in front of !”
The Cheonghae branch of the Murim League was also visible in Daein’s field of vision.
As the branch of the Murim Alliance closest to the Heavenly Demon Church, the Cheonghae branch was like a fortress. It was actually built to be used as a fortress.
The entire branch was surrounded by a high and thick wall, and there was a hole in the upper wall so that arrows could be fired from within the wall.
The flag of the Murim Alliance was fluttering at the top of the highest watchtower.
“Slow down from here! Riders, raise your flag!”
At Cheongun’s instructions, the Destruction Demon Order slowed down and the rider raised the Murim Alliance’s flag to announce that they were not the enemy.
Daein thought as he looked at the Cheonghae branch.
‘The branch leader of the Cheonghae branch said it was Chuhonchang Baekmahon.’
Each branch of the Murim League had a branch leader, who had the sa authority as the leader of the region.
In particular, the head of the Cheonghae branch, which had long been involved in frequent disputes with the Heavenly Demon Church, was famous not only for his martial arts skills but also for his unusual personality.
Chuhonchang Baekmahon
was one of the top ten masters in the world and had no rival other than the new spear when it ca to spears.
He was also soone whom I had to et and persuade in various ways.
“…It would be nice to have soone I can communicate with.”
It was ti for Daein to approach the Cheonghae branch, reviewing his future plans.
“hmm?”
Daein felt sothing strange and frowned. He asked Cheongun, who was running next to him.
“Isn’t sothing strange?”
Cheongwoon nodded, agreeing. He spoke grumpily, like a child in pain.
“Nothing strange. “You, who won by foul play, rode comfortably on your horse, and I, who fought fair and square but was defeated by a cowardly move, held a light attack for half a day!”
“Not sothing trivial like that.”
“It’s sothing trivial? “You coward…”
“Why is no one on the wall as we approach? “Is this always like this?”
“…?”
Only then did I look above Cheongundo Fortress again. There really wasn’t a single warrior in sight.
“That can’t be possible. “Why…”
The strangeness didn’t end there. After a while, Daein and Cheongun’s expressions hardened almost simultaneously.
‘It slls like blood!’
The thick scent of blood was wafting through the wind. The direction was precisely the Cheonghae branch of the Murim League.
Tadat!
The great man imdiately kicked his horse and jumped up. He shouted at Cheongwoon just before launching a light attack.
“Cheongun! “I’ll go first, so check if there are any enemies around and follow !”
“I’ll catch up in no ti!”
Whi profit!
Daein’s new form beca a single line and shot forward in an instant.
As we got closer to the Cheonghae branch, the scent of blood beca stronger and shouts and screams could be heard from inside.
‘Could it be that the Heavenly Demon Church attacked? Didn’t you hear that yesterday? what?’
The great man was puzzled and imdiately jumped over the castle wall.
Whick!
It was a high wall built in preparation for an invasion by a master, but the great man easily jumped over it with just two leaps.
Inside the fortress, a world of hell unfolded.
Torn limbs were scattered everywhere, and long, pulled out intestines were hanging out.
Humans with limbs torn off were groaning, like insects whose legs had been torn off by a child for fun.
“Ugh…
“Please help …”
Those who barely survived crawled on the floor, shedding tears and blood. Daein took out a potion from his bag and sprayed it as he passed quickly among the injured.
“First aid will be given. Once the bleeding stops, go hide in a corner sowhere.”
“Thank you…”
The great man did not listen to their reply and launched a light attack towards the center of the fortress.
Formidable energy waves were exploding from there.
I felt so much malice that it made all the hair on my body stand up.
After a while, the great man arrived at the place and saw the corpses of nurous warriors and a beast standing in the middle of them covered in blood.
“That can’t be right…”
The great man muttered, his expression hardening.
At the sa ti
, “Krrr…”
The head of the Heavenly Demon Cult turned his head and looked at the great man.
