Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 166 Silmongdang (1)

After leaving the Demon God Palace, Seoryang’s face was very serious.

‘It’s the Beast Palace.’

We had a pleasant conversation with Lee Cheon-sang, but this is by no means an issue to be taken lightly.

‘It was said that Binggung is taking a different route from the other three palaces. It means that we are on par with both the Sword Palace, the Beast Palace, and the Heavenly Dragon Palace.’

The relationship between forces is not simple. You can’t think that just because you take a different path, you’re going to lose.

However, it is a different story if the blood relative of the head of another organization is kidnapped. The Bing Palace has become a distant enemy of the Beast Palace and the other two palaces.

‘There is no opening ceremony like this even in Sipa Makjang.’

In any case, the neighborhood called Moorim is no different from the back alleys where Parakhos hang out. Rather, Murim is a place where so much dirty work is rampant that even Parakhos hold out their tongues.

The only difference is that they commit dirty deeds at a higher level than those back alley gangsters.

Still, I never thought that groups that had been united under the name of the Four Palaces for hundreds of years would fall apart like this.

‘Anyway, the important thing is.’

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

‘What can I gain from this?’

Join hands with the oxbow lord of the ice palace?

This means that he will have a powerful ally who will help him become the next successor. But now I can’t call Binggung a supporter.

Because this strange deal hasn’t even started yet.

‘He owns a stake in the Jeok family, and the Geogyeong family is supporting him. But they can’t help me outright. That’s because they are a branch of Protestantism, but they are not an organization within Protestantism.’

Is it the same for Binggung?

‘no.’

The corners of Seo-ryang’s mouth rose.

‘Rather, since they are a distant force, they can help me even more.’

Even if an alliance is formed, it is not an absolutely trustworthy relationship. Just as the Four Palaces, which had followed a common line for hundreds of years, were torn apart by minor differences of opinion.

“Either way, it’s a deal worth giving a try.”

Seoryang walked away while grinning.

Sreuk.

‘omg!’

He was startled when he saw a woman suddenly popping out from one side of the alley.

It was Oh Gong-nyeo Joo Seo-yoon.

“Uh…”

Seo-ryang made a foolish noise.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I couldn’t see my surroundings, but I unconsciously sensed her presence. But he didn’t know that she would appear and block his path.

Joo Seo-yoon looks at herself blankly.

Seo-ryang scratched his head.

“Um… hello?”

“….”

What kind of innocent greeting is this? Is this a kid?

For some reason, it reminded me of Chae Yeo-min. I think I had a similar reaction when I first met him.

‘Now that I think about it, what is he going to do right now?’

At that time, Joo Seo-yoon lowered her head.

“See you brother.”

“uh? “Uh, okay.”

“….”

“….”

what? Even though you said hello, why didn’t you say anything?

Seo-ryang, embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders.

“See you later.”

I guess I literally pretended to know him just to say hello. He slowly turned to the right and walked away.

Seo-ryang fell into thought again. When a problem arises, he lingers on it until it is resolved. His concentration was extraordinary in many ways.

‘To resolve this matter, we must contact the Beast Palace in some way. In all likelihood, it won’t be a friendly meeting.’

In his hand, one of the Beast Palace successors was harpooned. I don’t know how much effort they put into raising them, but even the wolves they were using had harpoons.

Of course, your feelings about yourself will not be good. Of course, I don’t know if they were the Three Princes of Protestantism who did such a thing.

‘Do you know? No, I don’t know. It’s not their territory, and the school has completely cleaned it up. Still, it won’t be looked upon favorably if you say you’re a demon from Shingyo.’

For a moment, Seo-ryang paused.

‘He’s a demon of the Protestant religion…’

He internally complained.

‘I find myself naturally calling myself a Mine before I know it.’

It was different from when I didn’t know what I really wanted.

I am not a magician because I have learned magic. Without realizing it, he had truly become a demon.

Until recently, that fact bothered me, but not anymore. It is comfortable to admit that you have become a true magician.

It just feels new. The fact that the lifeless Nabulaengi who dreamed of freedom has suddenly become a mine that is more like a mine than anyone else.

‘doesn’t care. If only I could kill them all.’

In any case, we have to start by coming up with a way to contact the Beast Palace.

Seoryang, who was heading to his accommodation at a fast pace, suddenly became concerned about a familiar figure following him.

“….”

When he turned around, he saw Joo Seo-yoon still looking at him with an expressionless face. He had walked more than halfway from the Demon God Palace to his residence, but Joo Seo-yoon was still following him.

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“….”

“….”

“Oh, I have some business to do on the way here.”

“…yes.”

“Oh, I get it.”

Xiliang walked again.

And after some time.

“Hey… um… what should I call you… oh yeah. “It’s the fifth.”

“yes.”

“Is there no other way now?”

“there is.”

“If you go straight along this road, you will reach my residence. “There is nothing around my place.”

“I know.”

“…?”

“….”

“Are you really following me?”

There was no answer back.

Even if there is no answer, if you do not feel something strange, you are not human. Xu Liang frowned.

“Didn’t you say you had nothing to say to me?”

“That’s right.”

“But why do you keep following me?”

“There’s no need to say anything.”

“Eh?”

What kind of sound is this, like someone beating a baton in their sleep?

“So, I have business to run, but we don’t need to talk?”

“yes.”

“You might not need it, but I think I might need it.”

“….”

“Tell me why. “Why are you following me?”

Joo Seo-yoon became speechless again.

Xu Liang felt frustrated.

“What the hell…”

Seo-ryang was about to say something, but closed his mouth. I read the look of concern on Joo Seo-yoon’s face.

After a while, Joo Seo-yoon spoke.

“What can I incorporate into my martial arts?”

“what?”

“….”

I was speechless again.

I don’t know what kind of personality he has, but he clearly has something to do with irritating people’s patience. Seo-ryang wanted to beat his chest from the overwhelming frustration.

“Wouldn’t you be able to say something if you explained it in a way that people would understand?”

“I can’t explain it either.”

“What?”

“So I’m going to take a look.”

“what?”

“Onii-sama.”

I almost got embarrassed when I heard the word ‘brother’ coming out without hesitation.

“What on earth do you want to see from me?”

“How was it possible to grow so quickly?”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes became sharp.

“How could I have already reached the top of the pole?”

Xi Liang said, ‘Look at this?’ I looked at her with those eyes.

“Were you already aiming for the extreme demon?”

“….”

“You know that it’s not something that can be explained in words or seen in actions, right?”

“yes.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes sparkled.

“But I’ve never tried it.”

I know it’s not true, but I’m going to check it out myself.

It was still a frustrating answer, but Seo-ryang thought that her behavior was not all bad. Sometimes, even if you know something is wrong, you still need to check it for yourself and experience it fully.

Xu Liang waved his hand.

“I don’t know what you want from me, but I know. But not today, I’m busy for the time being. So come later.”

“No.”

“what?”

“For me, Hansi is an urgent matter.”

“Are you telling me to give up my schedule because of your urgent work?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“then?”

“I’ll just watch from the side.”

Xu Liang smiled. It was a somewhat cold laugh.

“I think I forgot, so I’ll tell you, but you and I are competitors.”

“no.”

“No, it doesn’t matter. “Do you know that I destroyed the fourth?”

“i know.”

“And yet you still sound so comfortable?”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

“It doesn’t matter?”

“yes.”

“Why do you think that? Since you are the cult leader’s disciple, you will definitely be the next president…”

“I’m not aiming for it.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened.

As if to emphasize it, Joo Seo-yoon repeated the same words.

“I am not seeking the presidency.”

* * *

next day.

“Let’s see.”

Seoryang sat with his arms crossed on one side of the training hall.

And Ma Dong-pil was standing in front of him, holding out his sword.

“Let’s get started right away.”

“There’s no need to rush. “Start as soon as you feel ready to start.”

“yes.”

Ma Dong-pil, who had closed his eyes for a moment and muttered something incomprehensible, opened his eyes.

Flash!

The radiating eye light resembles the sacred sword’s treasured light.

The level of Geumgang Yacha Magic Gong deepens day by day. The iron-blooded magic skill that contained both heaviness and fierceness suddenly melted into his kendo (劍道) and turned into an extremely cruel energy wave.

The corners of Seo-ryang’s mouth rose. I was able to see how absorbed Ma Dong-pil had been in his training in an unseen place.

“going.”

Faaagh!

Ma Dong-pil, carrying the new type as if it were going to bounce, stretched out his sword with force.

Wooooow.

A stabbing attack aimed at stopping the attack. The power radiating from the black sword body was truly amazing.

Cheer ring!

A dazzling gold light erupted from the Ink King’s sword, which scraped the floor and struck the top. The succession of slashes from the middle to the bottom and up to the top was as natural as flowing water.

From then on, Ma Dong-pil’s wonderful dance moves began.

It was natural, but not soft. It was fast but quiet, heavy but not stuffy.

It is the pinnacle of kendo, showing great dignity with great moderation. It seemed like he didn’t swing the sword that much, but before he knew it, numerous sword spirits were surrounding his body.

It had one pair of eyes, but it was looking in all directions, and it was clearly a pair of arms, but it seemed like there were five or six of them, swinging in all directions. It was literally like seeing King Myeong with three heads and six feet.

Xu Liang was inwardly surprised.

‘That bastard?’

Before I knew it, I had combined the Geumgang Yacha Demonic Technique with the newly given sword technique.

It is not because he excelled in martial arts, but because he mixed magic with swordsmanship. This meant that Ma Dong-pil’s understanding of Geumgang Yacha Magick was particularly outstanding.

‘When did something like that happen… It’s amazing.’

Ma Dong-pil was a swordsman.

But before he was a swordsman, he was a warrior. His enlightenment, which was limited to swords, has now expanded to martial arts in general.

Wider and deeper.

Before we knew it, Ma Dong-pil had almost reached the realm of transcendence.

“Confucius?”

“….”

“Confucius.”

“uh? Oh yeah.”

“How was it?”

Xi Liang whistled softly.

“Amazing? “It’s been a while since I learned a new sword technique and I was able to incorporate it into my magical skills. It’s impossible with any amount of effort.”

“thank you.”

“The nine-heavy magic swordsmanship you are learning is a unique swordsmanship that is counted among the top ten in our school. Of course it was bound to be difficult, but by combining it with magic, I was forced to achieve it. “It’s a very creative way.”

Interest arose in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“I wonder if I would have done the same. It was amazing. “It’s rewarding to bring you a special reward.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face showed honest joy. This is because Seo-ryang has never been so impressed by his own martial arts.

“We will try harder in the future.”

“Expect.”

Xu Liang stood up.

“I plan to leave school in a few days.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened at the sudden words.

“Expulsion from school?”

“okay. Since it was a pretty rough road, I thought I would leave you at Shingyo. Because it hasn’t been long since I learned a new martial art. But that much is reassuring. No matter where I take him, his martial arts skills will not waver.”

“What are you excommitting from church for?”

“There is someone I need to save.”

“Someone you need to save?”

Xu Liang smiled.

The young Ma Dong-pil’s face suddenly hardened with a cold smile.

“It’s a big operation to rescue the princess who was captured by beasts.”
