I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 394 Side Story 2: Battle of the Heavenly Demons (3)

Geomgak of Mt. Bota, where Geomseon stayed for a day, impressed by its nobility.

The land, known as the sacred land of female swordsmen, was different from usual.

The majestic ten-story stone pagoda visible as soon as you pass the main gate has completely collapsed, and the neatly packed training grounds are cracked like rice fields in a drought.

Without a single exception, the prosecutors, who could be said to be the swordsmen themselves, fell to the cold ground.

The collapse of Geomgak.

It was a terrifying result achieved only by Cheonma alone. Thanks to his one move, the reputation of China’s strongest guild collapsed.

“….”

The Heavenly Demon glanced at the entire Sword Pavilion as if appreciating the spectacle he had created. After confirming that there was not a single person left, he stretched out his hand.

Wooooow!

A plaque showing the passage of time was held in his hand across the space. On the yellowed signboard was written, “Hyeongeomgak.”

Implementation is a word that means seeking goodness. ninth. In other words, it meant saving the people’s livelihood and establishing righteousness.

For the first time, the beliefs of the prosecutors, who had never once violated the will of the signboard, were caught in the hands of someone else.

“There is no salvation in this world.”

The Cheonma crushed the signboard without the slightest hesitation. With a crackling sound, the old signboard crumbled into powder and scattered. He turned around, trampling on the powdered signboard.

“Don’t do it.”

“yes!”

Zhuge Myung, who had been given the name Zhi Ma by the Heavenly Demon, bowed his head.

“Why did you tell me to keep them alive? Our goal is to eliminate all capable people on this earth. “These are no exception.”

“That’s not it.”

Zima came forward and shook his head.

“Dokma recently created a technique called Blood Demon Art, which is an improved form of Kangshi Art. There are a lot of ingredients here that are suitable for making blood demons. In particular, if we make Geomhu and Emperor Gwon into blood demons, it will be of great help in the future war.”

“Poisonous horse.”

The Heavenly Demon’s black eyes turned to the green-haired woman standing behind Zima.

“yes.”

Hearing his call, the poisonous horse came forward and prostrated itself.

“Can you make Geomhu and Emperor Kwon into blood demons as well?”

“of course. “I will turn not only those two, but all the humans here into puppets who only follow the master’s orders.”

Dokma expressed confidence in a sticky voice.

“I believe it.”

Cheonma nodded and looked at Jima again.

“Don’t do it.”

“yes!”

“Next is Yeonghu. They don’t make blood demons there. “It kills every ant without leaving a single one behind.”

“I will prepare.”

Zima bowed deeply and the four people behind him also lowered their heads.

“let’s go.”

After listening to Jima’s answer, Cheonma left the collapsed main gate of Geomgak. Three people, excluding Zima and Dokma, followed him.

“Poisonous horse. There should not be any mistakes. To completely subdue the mind.”

“Who are you giving that advice to? “There won’t be any mistakes, so get out of here.”

“Hmm…”

Jima looked at the fallen swordsmen while listening to the poisonous demon’s bloody answer. As he checked the faces of each person one by one, his eyes stopped on the woman in the center.

“hmm?”

He narrowed his eyes and approached the woman, glaring at her face.

“Red softening?”

The woman that Jima took a closer look at was Jeok Yeon-hwa. He checked several times before nodding.

“I’m sure! “It’s Jeok Yeonhwa!”

“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going?”

“Poisonous horse. Let’s turn this woman into a bloodthirsty person first. Make it into blood liquor and send it to me.”

“Hey, this old man is real! At some point right now, I was thinking like that…”

“That’s not true.”

Zima shook his head with an icy expression.

“This woman. “This is a woman who was rumored to be the lover of Musin.”

“Mushin? Could it be Baek Woo-jin?”

“okay.”

Although the exact facts were not revealed, everyone knew that the relationship between Jeok Yeon-hwa and Baek Woo-jin was not normal.

‘If I have this, I won’t need any other hostages.’

In fact, the reason why the prosecutors of Geomhu and Geomgak were kept alive was to use them as hostages for Baek Woo-jin, who would one day clash with them.

But I don’t need it anymore.

‘All you need is red softener.’

The card called Red Yeonhwa was enough to make Baek Woo-jin stop. I was lucky to get the tools to control that monster here.

“The Defeating Red Family, the Shingeombaek Family, or the Association will move, so hurry up and become a blood member.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

The poisonous horse chewed its red lips and its eyes shined.

“No matter who comes, they will be my doll.”

**

Crumbling.

Ignis lets out a happy cry and swallows the boneless chicken placed on the silver tray.

Kyaaa.

Sulbing and Leo Chrome next to them were also busy tasting the snacks given to them, so the only sound they could hear was the sound of chewing food.

“Hmm.”

Baek Woo-jin watched in fascination as the spirits ate the snack.

“What are you thinking? “Why am I so dazed…”

Muyoung-gaek, who was looking at a jewelry catalog from behind, slowly approached me.

“not a big deal.”

“Ahang!”

Muyounggaek looked into his own eyes and grinned.

“I see what it is. “You were thinking about your sister and your enemy, right?”

“Ugh!”

Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes wide and turned his head.

“How did you…”

I have no idea how this thief realized that.

“It’s obvious. Because you’ve always had that look on your face ever since you came back from the labyrinth. “You’re not sure which kind of girl you like.”

“Rather than that…”

“If you don’t know which of the two you like, may I tell you a good way?”

“Good way?”

“yes! “There is a very good solution!”

Muyounggaek twirled his fingers. It felt like he was teasing me, but I held back because I was curious about the solution.

“what is that?”

“Do you remember the Marutun continent we went to?”

“of course.”

“It’s polygamy there! If you go back to the Marutun Continent and meet three people at the same time, including that beautiful high elf sister, everything will be resolved… Ugh!”

As I frowned, Muyoung-gaek frowned and closed his mouth.

“Well, if you have the personality of a prosecutor, you will definitely choose one person. Then, unfortunately, the best solution has disappeared…”

“Mr. “Don’t tempt the head of the family with strange words.”

“Keuok!”

Moon Joo-young twitched his mouth and approached and kicked Moo Young-gaek.

“Matriarch. “Can I give you advice that isn’t advice?”

“It’s not advice, it’s advice…”

Baek Woo-jin turned in the direction where Moon Ju-young was standing.

“A woman I met once said this. “There is a difference between ‘I like you’ and ‘I love you.’”

He sat down in the empty guest seat that had been pushed out and continued speaking.

“Like the Titanic, when a passenger ship sinks, if you want to get on the boat and escape together, you like it, and if there are no seats left and you send that person away in the hope that he or she will survive, it is said to be love. In other words, love is when you think of that person before yourself…”

“Ah! That’s not a good example! “There is a difference between two digits and one digit… Wow!”

Baek Woo-jin hit Moo Young-gaek, who was making fun of his snout, on the back of the head.

“I don’t know exactly, but I have a general idea.”

As Mu Young-gaek said, it was difficult to use it as an example, but I felt like I knew what it meant.

“And there is no particular reason to love someone. It really is just a moment. “You won’t be able to see anything but him, so there won’t be any confusion.”

“You saw some drama too.”

“no. “This is my experience.”

Moon Ju-young shrugged his shoulders and left Gajujeon, dragging Mu Young-gaek with him.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Baek Woo-jin rested his chin while listening to the sounds of spirits chewing food through ASMR.

‘Then it’s not there yet.’

I hope that both Jeok Yeon-hwa and Seo In-ah do well and be happy, but that is different from the feelings that Moon Joo-young expressed. To be honest, I felt like I didn’t love anyone right now.

“Ugh, I don’t know.”

As I sighed and leaned back in my chair, the phone under my desk rang.

Ugh!

There was only one person who would contact me on this phone.

“yes. “Director.”

The person who called was Yoo Jin-ah, head of Black Market’s Korean headquarters.

[We’re in big trouble!]

Her voice trembled with embarrassment.

“Is it a big deal?”

[Geomgak! The sword angle has collapsed!]

“What is that….”

For a moment, my mind went blank and I couldn’t understand what Yujinah was saying.

[It is said that a guild called Destruction Gate attacked Geomgak and is occupying it!]

“Ah…”

When I heard that Geomgak was attacked, I gasped as if something had filled my lungs.

Red softening.

There are many people in Geomgak with whom he had a connection, but only Jeok Yeon-hwa’s name and face came to mind.

My heart was pounding like crazy, as if I was facing an enemy.

[Myeolsemun is said to be an organization that follows a warrior named Cheonma. Now….]

“The Gate of Destruction? “Cheonma?”

Baek Woo-jin frowned. Gate of Destruction and Heavenly Horse were names I had never heard of.

“no! wait a minute! There was also Gwonwang in Geomgak! And yet you are saying that you were defeated by a guy called Cheonma?”

Not long ago, Jeok Wi-jin left for Geomgak, saying he would bring Jeok Yeon-hwa.

So, it meant that Geomgak lost even though there were two absolute rulers, Geomhu and Gwon Hwang.

[I don’t know how we fought, but I’m sure we lost. The sword’s signboard fell, and an unknown magic technique was discovered inside.]

“That’s ridiculous!”

Geomhu and Gwonwang are the highest level among absolutes. I couldn’t believe that a new force had appeared to suppress Geomgak, where these two were.

“That red lotus flower! “Isn’t there anyone alive there?”

[The Chinese Association and our nearby talented agents also went in, but no one came back.]

“Uhm…”

Baek Woo-jin bit his lip. I couldn’t tell if I was dead or alive, so my mouth went dry from frustration.

“Did you say that the magic was activated in the sword fight earlier?”

[yes. It is a mental technique, but it is not clear what kind of ability it has.]

‘It is a mental technique…’

If it is a mental technique, there is a possibility that it took over the sword and brainwashed the prosecutors.

“That guy called Cheonma is still in Geomgak?”

[no. Cheonma struck the sword and immediately destroyed the Yeonghu guild. That’s why we learned about the problem with sword detection.]

“Even the Yeonghu guild?”

Yeonghu Guild is a very large guild that is one of the three major powers in China along with Geomgak Cheonmu-maeng. Following Geomgak, that place was also destroyed. Both the force and the ability to act exceeded the normal range.

“Then where they go next is….”

[It is understood to be the Heavenly Armed Forces.]

As expected, the Gate of Destruction seemed to be trying to collapse all three major guilds in China.

“What is the identity of the guy called Cheonma and the Gate of Destruction?”

[I don’t know anything other than that it came from the northwest. It is clear that they are strong, but there are also groups that manipulate information. I only found out about it long after the Geomgak collapsed.]

“Please gather information about the Gate of Destruction.”

[The head of the house….]

“I have to go to Geomggak.”

Baek Woo-jin stood up, chewing his lips.

“Because there is a possibility that he is alive.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa’s face flashed in front of him, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment.

[all right! I’ll do my best!]

“Please.”

Baek Woo-jin hung up the phone with Yoo Jin-ah and called Moon Joo-young and Moo Young-gaek from the medical swords team to the training hall.

They gathered in a hurry, without proper clothes, and told them everything about the circumstances that they had heard from Jin-ah Yu.

“Huh!”

“You say that Geomhu and King Gwon were defeated?”

“What on earth is this?…”

The medical examiner swallowed dry saliva and muttered the name Cheonma.

“Great lord of the sword.”

“yes!”

Hong Nam-gi stood in front with serious steps.

“Chasing out the Gate of Destruction while contacting Director Yoo Jin-ah. “Don’t come forward until I get there, just gather information.”

“All right!”

He lowered his head and turned around.

“Pack your bags within 10 minutes from now. “We’re leaving right away!”

“yes!”

After hearing Hong Nam-ki’s instructions, the medical team ran towards the dormitory.

[Ara.]

Baek Woo-jin sent a message to Hong A-ra, who ran last.

[You remember what I said before, right? Please.]

Hong A-ra made eye contact and nodded slightly.

“Then we will go to Geomgak.”

Moon Joo-young approached with a dark face.

“Because there might still be someone alive.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa, whose life or death was unknown, was much more important than Cheon Mu-maeng, who had some time to spare.

“I’ll be ready and back in 5 minutes!”

“All 3 minutes!”

Moon Joo-young and Moo Young-gaek glared at each other and ran to the dormitory at the same time.

“Haa….”

Baek Woo-jin let out a deep sigh of frustration and looked up at the sky.

“Just stay alive. Just survive.”

**

Yeonunbong Peak of Botasan Mountain overlooking the panoramic view of Geomgak. Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young looked down from the top of the peak once occupied by werewolves.

“Do you see it?”

“I can’t see the inside, perhaps because of the harmony between the fighting method and the magic method. “It feels similar to a labyrinth.”

Baek Woo-jin shook his head. The red air current surrounding the entire sword was stronger than expected. Just like when I entered Rapport’s labyrinth, I couldn’t look inside even if I opened my eyes.

As I was looking down at Geomgak for about 30 minutes, a mysterious man wearing a black mask and night clothes came up the slope of the peak.

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything, so it’s frustrating.”

Muyounggaek took off his mask and stroked his hair.

“What’s the situation inside?”

Baek Woo-jin handed the water bottle to Mu Young-gaek and asked.

“There is a spiritual system installed throughout the entire Geomgak, with a strong scent of blood flowing through it. Since I didn’t know the strategy, the only thing I could do was move without being noticed. Anyone without top-level mental defense items will lose their wits as soon as they enter.”

Muyounggaek shook the necklace he wore around his neck.

“Hmm….”

There is no one who knows the organization and the method better than Muyounggaek. If he said this, it meant that it wasn’t a normal battle.

“What about the hostages?”

“Isn’t there a training hall with a tower inside the sword temple?”

“okay.”

“The swordsmen of Geomgak and the magistrates who appeared to have come with Emperor Gwon were standing there blankly, as if their souls had gone out.”

Muyounggaek opened his eyes as if imitating them.

“What is their condition?”

“Red veins were sprouting from his face, giving him a creepy, zombie-like appearance. The mana inside the body was also unstable, so it felt like it would explode if touched.”

“Is it brainwashing as expected?”

To understand the situation based on Mu Young-gaek’s words, it seemed like the prosecutors had already been brainwashed.

Judging from the fact that his veins were sprouting and his mana flow was unstable, there was a possibility that he could become a human bomb.

“Were Jeok Yeon-hwa and Geom-hu Geom-hwang also there?”

I brought up the question I wanted to ask from the beginning.

“I can’t see it. “I think it was inside, but if I had gone in, I would have been caught.”

“You’re a hostage.”

Baek Woo-jin sighed softly.

‘The chances of being alive have increased.’

There is no way they could have killed those three people while sparing the prosecutors. He would have been locked inside with his mind and body subdued.

No, I decided to think that way.

“What are you going to do? “Is this a surprise attack?”

“A surprise attack is not a good option unless you know the location of the hostages.”

Without knowing the situation of the enemy and hostages, an attack is the worst possible move.

“You move separately from me. “Climb over the wall and find those three people.”

“Huh? I’m sure you’ll get caught, right?”

“No, I won’t pay attention to you guys.”

Baek Woo-jin glared at the red fog that covered the sword blade with his sharp blue eyes.

“I’ll go in from the front.”
