Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 20. Sirang area (1)

Flash!

Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.

dump.

The women who were massaging his shoulders and legs groaned and collapsed. I was shocked by the magical power of Lee Cheon-sang that suddenly spurted out.

“…hmm.”

Lee Cheon-sang was staring into space with incomprehensible eyes.

After a while.

“Invincible religion, Manmaangbok.” “The great protection law of the new religion is called by the religious leader.”

“Great protection law.”

“Yes, leader.”

“When I entered the closing ceremony, was there anyone among the guards who went into the depths of Gojuk Forest?”

Mudam’s eyes widened slightly.

“That never happened.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

If something so important had happened, Mudam would have reported it right away. Moreover, with the level of skill of the guards, it would have been difficult to enter the middle area, let alone the deep area.

‘if?’

Mudam’s puzzlement deepened as he looked at Lee Cheon-sang with a hard face.

Only after half an hour had passed did Lee Cheon-sang break the silence.

“Did I say I sent a bundle of three bags to the third child?”

“That’s right.”

“I heard he’s a pretty good kid.”

“yes. Although he is young, he is one of the top ten members of the defense court. “I judged that he would be suitable to assist the Three Dukes as he is talented, experienced, and honest.”

“is it.”

“Yes, leader.”

A master who is counted among the top ten in the defense court.

He’s great enough, but to Lee Cheon-sang, he’s just one of those mediocre guys.

‘Eight months… Even if you get the opportunity, there will be limits to your growth. ‘What about the third?’

At first glance, interest arose on Lee Cheon-sang’s seemingly indifferent face.

“What day is today?”

“It comes one day before the full moon.”

“It was a day ago….”

“….”

“I understand. “Please go away.”

“Yes.”

As Mudam disappeared, the corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose slightly. It was a very faint smile, but Mudam would have been surprised again if he had seen Lee Cheon-sang’s face like that.

“Are we blinded by greed and leading to death?”

Slurp.

Lee Cheon-sang closed his eyes. At the same time, the women came to their senses.

If they suddenly fainted and came to their senses, they might have been embarrassed, but they showed no signs of that at all. On the contrary, he bowed to Lee Cheon-sang as if he was used to it and massaged his shoulders and legs again.

The smile on Lee Cheon-sang’s face suddenly disappeared.

‘Or maybe heaven’s luck will reach me and I’ll run to the foot of the ridge of Mt. Taishan.’

Martial arts and demons become deeper as time passes.

To Lee Cheon-sang, who was gradually but surely breaking away from the human mask, the actions of the third Seo-ryang gave him a little joy.

* * *

“Oh my god Shiva! “What the hell is going on?!”

Ma Dong-pil was unable to answer Seo-ryang’s words. Because he too was quite surprised.

Xu Liang quickly examined the corpse of a nobleman.

A majestic horse body with tiger stripes. The pure white head and red tail were bizarre.

It was rust. Nokchok, whom Seo-ryang had recently killed after a fierce struggle, was vomiting blood and dying.

‘No scars?’

He looked around.

‘Changbu (蒼芙) Ju (鴸) Seongseong (猩猩)…’

There was also a corpse of a precious object that I had never seen before.

It is a leopard, but its body is white. There was a strange pattern on his forehead, but it was difficult to describe in writing. The fangs were extremely long and protruded all the way down to the bottom of the lower jaw.

Ma Dong-pil groaned.

“Fighting extremes?!”

“Do you know this kid?”

“Yes, Confucius. I’ve only heard about it, but I’ve never actually seen it. Even my seniors said they had never met each other… but I

never thought they would see me like this…” Ma Dong-pil wandered around as a sudden thought occurred to him.

“what’s the matter?”

“It is said that Maeng Geuk rarely leaves the center of the Gojuk Forest. “Contrary to his appearance, he is said to have a gentle personality who enjoys being alone.”

“so?”

“Still, it is said that Maenggeuk is the highest rank in Gojuklim. “Except for one precious item, it is said to be the most powerful and difficult precious item.”

“One precious thing?”

“yes. “The name of that treasure is…”

At that moment, Ma Dong-pil’s body stopped.

Next to the entrance to the deep area, there was a bamboo tree that had all of its moisture absorbed and was cracked. And under the dried bamboo, there was a red snake with its body split in two.

A size that is neither big nor small. Even though it is dead and lifeless, its eyes are as bright as those of a human being.

“…metaphor(肥遺).”

“Metaphor? “Is the name of that pair of legs a metaphor?”

“That’s right. Of course, I have never seen it like a blind play.”

“That is the most precious treasure of Gojuklim? “That little thing?”

“From what I hear, yes.”

“No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look that strong, does it? It doesn’t even look like a poisonous snake. But why is that bamboo withered…”

For a moment, Seoryang’s face became blank.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Confucius?”

“….”

“Why are you doing that? Even if you are sick somewhere….”

“Drought.”

“yes?”

“The metaphor is a snake with two bodies. If that snake appears, there will be a major drought in the country. So, in a village in a flooded area, they say they bury paintings depicting parables in the ground. “I’m just waiting for the water to dry and drain quickly.”

“…?”

Xi Liang sighed.

“For some reason, I wondered why those names were so weird.”

“What are you talking about?…”

“The Mountain and Sea Classic.”

“…?!”

“These guys are all imaginary monsters from the Mountains and Seas.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes wavered.

“If it’s the Mountain Sea Jing, is it a collection of myths by an unknown author…?”

“It is true that the author is unknown, but it is a collection of myths… Yes, in a way, it is a collection of myths. To be precise, it can be seen as a geography book, but it is full of nonsense explanations. “It’s almost like a scribble from a child’s imagination.”

“I’ve only heard of it, but in reality…”

“Me too. “I saw it once before, but it was such an empty book that I gave up after reading it a few times.”

In the first place, it would be difficult for the devils of the Heavenly Demon Church to access books like the Mountain and Sea Jing, and they should not have access to them.

They have gods and scriptures. Extravagant miscellaneous writings such as the Mountains and Seas Jing undermine faith and doctrine. And it was the same in other religions.

“But that doesn’t mean it’s just nonsense. Because it contains several records and ancient characters that match actual history. The famous Queen Mother of the West and Mount Kunlun also appear in the Mountain Sea View.”

“…Is that so.”

Xiliang scratched his head.

“Anyway, I don’t think this is right. Even if the Mountain Sea Jing is real, it makes no sense for all kinds of monsters to be gathered in this small bamboo forest…”

At that moment, Xu Liang’s eyes widened.

Phew.

A cool breeze blew past his face.

Clap.

Seo-ryang slightly pulled out his sword with his thumb and watched with nervous eyes the path to the depths.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Confucius….”

“Shh.”

Why is he like this all of a sudden?

Ma Dong-pil followed Seoryang and looked at the path to the deep area.

‘why?’

A cool wind was blowing, but I didn’t feel any discomfort.

The moment I turned my head to Seoryang again….

thrill!

‘Sigh!’

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head without realizing it. It was a bonus to stumble and take a couple of steps back.

His face was pale.

‘What?!’

Suddenly, my head started spinning and my knees felt weak. I had goosebumps all over my body and my heart was pounding.

After clenching and opening his fist several times, he slowly raised his head.

‘…!!’

Ma Dong-pil swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

I really don’t know how to express this.

Xu Liang’s face was clearly expressionless. But it was impossible to look expressionless.

It felt like I was wearing a transparent evil mask that does not exist in reality. The eyes, which were neither wide nor squinted, were bloodier than any light he had ever seen.

This was Seoryang’s true self, who had abandoned his past as a murderer, but had not abandoned his identity as a messenger.

There was the face of an animal that did not freeze due to extreme tension, but rather reflexively fanned its flesh to kill the opponent.

“Dongpil.”

“…Yes, Confucius.”

“Here it is.”

Jump and jump.

Without listening to the answer, Seoryang walked trotting toward the depths.

Ma Dong-pil wanted to catch him. I wanted to shout out that I should go in too.

But unlike before, he couldn’t say anything. Xu Liang’s words became a terrible imprint and controlled his words and actions.

Pusssss.

Wherever Seoryang stepped, the broken bamboo leaves turned into powder and scattered.

Each step contained powerful magical energy. The air seemed to be heating up just from the magical energy being released unconsciously.

Cheeeeeek!

The cool, dry wind blowing from the depths of Marim clashed with the hot, humid wind created by the West, creating a sharp sense of tension.

Xu Liang’s eyebrows trembled.

‘What on earth is over there?’

I can not know. There is no information about him.

‘What is this terrifying energy mixed with this wind?’

tremendous. It’s something I’ve never encountered before.

‘And this feeling of discomfort?’

It’s terrible. It was an ominous feeling that I had never felt even in the midst of the Uicheonmaeng and the iron-blooded desperation of Cheonnaji.

‘This is like…’

Seo-ryang’s eyes flashed.

‘okay. It’s similar to back then.’

When I first met Lee Cheon-sang.

I was extremely shocked to see the majesty of a demon god looking down on even the world’s top ten masters. He had no information or knowledge about such a state.

A person who does not give off the slightest energy, but evokes overwhelming prayer. Of course, I had never encountered such a prayer before.

Additionally, the sense of discomfort that Lee Cheon-sang gave off was beyond imagination.

An overwhelming energy that instantly reminds me of ‘death’.

Nevertheless, he had no choice but to go to Lee Cheon-sang. I chose him and called him for my own purpose.

It was the same this time too.

The wind blowing from the depths. There is a lot of energy mixed in, but no intention is visible.

It is dangerous like Lee Cheon-sang, but like when he encounters Lee Cheon-sang, there is a treasure there that he must obtain. Seo-ryang was able to intuit it instinctively.

Weeeeeee!!

My extra senses rang an alarm. The mind’s eye, which instilled both ominousness and anticipation, looked at the world.

Saaaaagh!

As I went deeper, my skin tingled as the pressure became stronger.

Cold sweat formed on Seo-ryang’s forehead.

‘no. It’s hard to hold on.’

Wooooow.

I instinctively used the dark magic attack. The demonic energy that was unconsciously gushing out became more concentrated.

but.

Coo!

‘Pfft!’

Seo-ryang’s steps stopped.

Grumbling.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although he unleashed strong demonic energy, he suffered internal injuries due to the rebound force.

‘Damn it! How on earth is your energy so strong that even your current magic energy can’t handle it?!’

If this continues, I will explode before I can even approach.

‘Can not help it. ‘I have no choice but to write it right now.’

Seo-ryang took out a packet of Takcho from his pocket and put a packet straight into his mouth.

Bubbling.

A biography that spreads at an incredible speed.

Xu Liang’s eyes flashed.

Srurr.

The demonic energy that was gushing out loudly disappeared like a lie.

Hehehe.

The blowing wind seemed to pass right through Seoryang’s body.

The dark body of the dark airspace unfolds in an instant.

The best stealth techniques boasted by King Sal, who was said to have reached the pinnacle of assassination at the time, were displayed.

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

Sara la rock.

Bamboo leaves passed by Seoryang’s body.

Even though it clearly just grazed the skin, it feels like it passed through. It cannot be seen with the eyes, it cannot be felt, it cannot be heard, nor can it smell.

It literally felt like I had turned into a ghost.

‘let’s go.’

One step, two steps and three steps.

‘good. The pressure has faded.’

Ten steps, twenty steps and thirty steps.

‘If it goes on like this…’

At that moment, something caught my foot.

“Huh!”

I almost fell over, but I managed to keep my balance. It was a shame to almost fall after tripping over something like a stone.

Seo-ryang spit out a swear word without realizing it.

“What nonsense! “What on earth…”

At that moment, his eyes widened.

“…What about this dastardly guy?”
