Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 609. Another God (3)

“General Military Man.”

Ho Yaoseong stood up from his seat.

Mudam’s eyes lit up.

“As you said, I have completed my placement on campus.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Mudam was inwardly quite surprised.

It wasn’t for any other reason. This was because it was the most tense appearance of Ho Yaoseong that he had ever seen.

“Can I ask you something?”

“I can guess what you want to ask.”

“….”

“I’m sorry, but it’s difficult for me to explain this matter in detail. Please consider that.”

Mudam nodded.

“Except for the key personnel, all of the remaining demons have been sent to the outskirts. There are literally only the bare minimum of troops left at the main school.”

“yes.”

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

“I want to make it clear, but this matter is being led by the leader, not me.”

“…?!”

“That’s why I can’t explain it in detail. It’s because I’m not sure I’m just roughly guessing what’s going on.”

Mudam’s eyes lit up.

“How can I question what the leader is leading? However, this is the first time in the history of our school that we have withdrawn the school’s troops to this extent for something that was not our mission. As a way to protect our religion, we should at least know the current situation.”

Even the religious leader, not Ho Yo-seong, would have asked. And Mudam’s remarks made sense.

Hu Yaosheng looked out the window.

dark sky. It was clear without a single cloud until half a day ago, but now it was full of dark clouds.

“It’s because of Damsayoung.”

“So, what on earth is Damsa-young doing at our school?…”

“It won’t be long before Damsa-young will come to our school.”

In an instant, Mudam’s face was colored with shock.

“Did you say Dam Sa-young would come to our school?”

“Yes, that’s for sure.”

“…?!”

“And the person who will allow it is the religious leader.”

Mudam swallowed his saliva.

It was just a few words, but I don’t think it could have been more shocking even if it had been thousands of words.

“How can you bring such an enemy into the church? He is an enemy of the world that would not be tolerated even if he was killed right away.”

“I’m not sure about that part. And…”

Ho Yaosheng closed his eyes.

“Probably the leader at the time he told me about this plan didn’t know the details.”

“…What does that mean?”

Ho Yaoseong opened his eyes again and his eyes suddenly became clear and calm.

“Isn’t it fascinating?”

“…?”

“This is the state of a religious leader.”

“….”

“After reaching that level, the leader is showing abilities that seem to be truly beyond the realm of humans. It’s not just martial arts. His vision and intuition, and his foresight that allows him to feel the flow of the world with his whole body. “This knowledge makes me shiver.”

“That’s right…”

“That’s right. Even before you reached that level, the leader had a particularly excellent sixth sense. His brain was also better than anyone else’s, and his quick response skills, especially in moments of crisis, were the best in the history of the Demonic Warriors. It’s worth it.”

“….”

“The religious leader is now standing on the border between humans and gods. It is difficult for me to even guess what he is looking at or what kind of ‘situation’ he is trying to induce.”

Mudam swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

He felt a little nervous at Ho Yo-seong’s calm voice.

“What do you think, Daehobeop? Do you think I am trying to control the last enemy named Damsayoung?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Yes, I guess so. I’ve been somewhat letting go of things related to Damsayoung for several months now.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“I am already starting work to create a new world. That is why I went to Iron Blood Castle alone. I am sending people to all parts of the Demonic Forest to establish a clan and region that will replace the government officials, and to integrate the economies of the south and north of the Yangtze River. “I was working hard for it.”

“You mean…?”

“That’s right. Now, if the leader puts an end to Damsayoung, all we have to do is run straight to the world of magic.”

Mudam felt a shiver for a moment.

The unimaginable trust of the general military towards the religious leader, the four words ‘Madocheonha’, made him tremble.

“The religious leader…”

After he began, it seemed that it was not what Daehobeop wanted to say, so Mudam belatedly kept his mouth shut.

But Hu Yaosheng already knew what he was trying to say.

“Master, are you able to do it alone?”

“….”

“Of course. I have no doubt about it.”

Hu Yaosheng looked out the window again.

Before we knew it, faint sunlight was shining through the sky that was full of dark clouds.

“Now, Lord, not only can you foresee a future that is difficult to explain with logic, but you have reached a point where you can guide the future, which is full of countless possibilities, in the direction you want.”

* * *

Damsa-yeong, who was looking at Seoryang quietly, asked as if asking.

“Becoming one with the world… Do you understand what that means?”

“okay.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“….”

“You admired my master.”

“…!”

An attack that came out of nowhere.

Yes. It was an attack. At least for Damsayoung, it was nothing short of a fatal blow.

Looking at Dam Sa-yeong’s frozen face, Seoryang continued speaking.

“Before you met Master, your desire was solely focused on power. You lived that way your whole life, and that was the only value in life, so you had no other options.”

“….”

“But why? After meeting Master, something about you had changed. A fact that you had subconsciously known in the past but tried to ignore, felt distinctly strange once you reached your current level.”

“….”

“You are no longer interested in being the greatest power in the world. You want to rule as a god of this world like my teacher.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Am I wrong?”

“….”

“I guess I saw it correctly.”

“Obviously…”

Suddenly, a smile similar to Seoryang’s appeared on Damsayoung’s face.

Did you say that as your hatred deepens, you begin to resemble the other person? Those two people were like that.

No, to be more precise, Dam Sa-yeong was becoming more like Seo-ryang. This is because Seoliang has already let go of his resentment toward Damsayeong.

“You certainly have extraordinary insight.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Dam Sa-yeong, who was looking at Seo-ryang silently, shook her head.

“I just don’t understand. If you had that level of power, you could have guessed that I would gain this level of power, just like you said.”

“I was sure it wasn’t just a guess.”

“But why didn’t you attack me? If you had decided, you would have known a long time ago that I was residing in the imperial palace, but you came and took out only the imperial army? That too, leaving behind all the troops under my command?”

“It did.”

“Why did you do that? I’m sure you wouldn’t say it was because of the Blood God’s barrier surrounding the imperial palace.”

“You’re right. That magical barrier was truly amazing.”

“Don’t lie. Now I know that your strength is more than enough to break down that barrier.”

“Breaking it down is not a problem. The real problem is the state of my body immediately after breaking that barrier. If even just one chance you run away, I will have to suck my finger and watch your back as you run away again.”

“Is that really all?”

“Of course that’s not all.”

“What is it? Why are you planning something so incomprehensible?”

Fazizik.

A black brain energy flashed in Xiliang’s left magical eye.

“Because I felt like it had to be that way.”

“…what?”

“I thought that was how I could catch you. That’s all.”

“….”

“Unfortunately, I have not reached the realm of deification. I don’t know if I will ever be able to. So, it is difficult to interpret this absolute intuition.”

“It’s an absolute intuition.”

Damsayoung smiled coldly.

“Do you really think that I will kneel in front of you?”

“I’m not a pervert who enjoys the frustration of being a loser. I won’t put you on your knees. I’ll just kill you.”

“…That’s interesting.”

Pajijijik.

A blood-red thunder light bloomed from Dam Sa-yeong’s right eye.

“It’s really interesting. I said I knew for sure. That you can easily break through the blood god’s barrier.”

“It did.”

“And there’s one more thing I know: Although you are a monster beyond imagination, my power is one step further than yours.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“okay?”

“Do you think it’s an expression of excessive confidence? If you’re thinking that way, you’d better think twice. You can never defeat me now.”

“But then. Why do you harbor such base thoughts?”

“what?”

“Why are you thinking of crawling into the body of someone weaker than you?”

For a moment, Dam Sa-young’s eyes wavered.

Even though you have reached such a high level, you cannot stop the emotional turmoil. That’s how sharp Seoliang’s insight was.

“Becoming one with the world… I thought about what that meant. World, world, world… Isn’t it strange? You can become infinitely stronger, but you can’t reach mythology because of your deep-rooted desire. Those who have not reached mythology will never become a legend. You can’t become one with the world. Yet you try to become one with the world. By what means?”

“….”

“There is only one answer. You are trying to defeat me and become me. Why? The reason is simple.”

Grumbling.

Demonic energy like a flame rose from the right magical eye of Xiliang.

“Because I am already lowly.”

“….”

“Not only has it taken control of the martial arts south of the Yangtze River, but the influence of this school, which has spread its magic even to the north of the Yangtze River, is enough to be called the best in the world. In other words, taking control of the entire world is a piece of cake. .”

“….”

“That’s why you declared defeat and prepared your last move, hiding from the public and just watching the process of our school taking over the world with its absolute influence.”

Seoliang pointed to Damsayeong.

“Everything I have acquired will become yours. So you can stay still. If you defeat me at the last moment and take over my body, you will be able to obtain everything in the world, starting with our school.”

“….”

“That’s what you thought, right?”

Dam Sa-young did not answer. No, I couldn’t.

I’m afraid that if I open my mouth, my feelings will be conveyed.

The opponent was already looking through his plan in detail. He probably saw right through that he was extremely embarrassed.

Maybe the reason we try not to show our emotions in front of someone who knows everything is because of our pride that we cannot let go of even if we die.

And Seoryang really touched Damsayeong’s pride.

“I am the only one who knows that.”

“…?”

“I didn’t tell anyone. To my subordinates, Zheng Zhengbaek, and the emperor.”

“…!”

“Now what do you want to do?”

Flash! Flash!

Flashing the Absolute Demon Eyes of Left and Right, Xu Liang said,

“I will give you a grand welcome, so would you like to come to the main school in person? Oh, I won’t order the kids to catch you, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Flash! Flash! Flashing!

Flashing the absolute will of Left Red Woocheong, Dam Sa-yeong replied,

“…I’ll go find you myself. Just wait at that place, that seat of power.”
