Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 282
Episode 282 The Ultimate Demon (2)
“Huh?”
Xiliang looked around.
It was a desolate cliff. It felt like I remembered it, but it was a little unfamiliar.
‘What is here?’
In an instant, Seoryang was able to remember where this place was.
It wasn’t a place I had actually been to. But it was a place he created.
When I had my last dance with Lee Cheon-sang.
This was the scene that Pan Demon Jeong created when Lee Cheon-Sang tore through the Manapgeum Demon Guard and opened the third gate of hell. A barren cliff with nothing around it, at a great height.
‘Hmm.’
Xu Liang stroked his chin.
‘Right. This is a dream. Just like the nightmare back then.’
Yes.
This is the same type of nightmare I had when I saw the corpses of Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin. With just two experiences, Seo-ryang was able to realize that a dream was a dream.
‘But why suddenly?’
At that time, I saw a person at the edge of the cliff.
It was unknown when it appeared. We don’t even know if it was there from the beginning.
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
“Master.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was behind his back, looked back at Seo-ryang.
“This way.”
Lee Cheon-sang in my dream speaks to me.
Although I knew it was an illusion, there was still an irresistible majesty. Seo-ryang walked next to Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang did not look at Seo-ryang. A unique, bored expression appeared on his face as he looked down the cliff, still with his back to me.
Xi Liang asked.
“What is it?”
It was a question filled with many questions.
Lee Cheon-sang seemed to know well what Seo-ryang’s question meant. The expression in his eyes proved it.
However, his answer was somewhat distant from Xu Liang’s question.
“There is no end to demons. It just gets bigger and deeper.
In the end, the limit is when a human vessel containing a demon can no longer withstand it. In other words, the end of evil is ultimately determined by human nature.”
It was difficult to understand. It’s not even an answer to the question.
But Seoliang listened to Lee Cheon-sang’s words. Even though I know full well that this is an illusion.
“A person is born with a vessel. It’s almost impossible to increase it. But you were originally closer to death than a demon.
“You had already expanded your skills at the time you invented magic.”
“….”
“Would something that was possible once become impossible twice?”
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
“Are you saying I was suppressing the growth of the reigning Demon Emperor?”
Lee Cheon-sang did not answer.
He looked down at the bottom of the cliff and looked up at the sky.
“I also didn’t get a glimpse of the climax.”
Although he could say it because he was a world-class person, it was something that did not suit him.
“I can still capture more. Even at this moment, I am becoming stronger.
“Until I set my limits, I will be able to become infinitely stronger as long as I remain on this earth.”
For a moment, Seo-ryang felt eerie.
This was a dream, but it was also reality. His own impression of Lee Cheon-sang created his current appearance.
So what Lee Cheon-sang said just now was true.
Although Seoryang, who had reached the peak of the Demonic Demon, could not yet overcome Lee Cheon-sang, his level could be guessed to some extent.
“You are far away.”
“I know.”
“The reigning Demon Emperor is without a doubt the best demonic attack in the world. “If you hadn’t set limits, you wouldn’t have suffered from such mischievous fraud.”
Xi Liang filed a complaint.
“Is that so.”
These were Lee Cheon-sang’s words, but they were also the words of his own heart. In other words, he unconsciously knew that he was setting limits.
“Don’t set limits. You are the first Heavenly Demon in Shinto to have trained two absolute magic skills.
The path you walk is bound to be difficult. Even if a person who takes that path cannot become more greedy, if he sets limits, he will never achieve greatness.”
weird.
I can’t feel my sincerity in these words. Moreover, he knows nothing about the past Heavenly Demons.
So who is saying this?
“Climb and climb again. If you don’t come up properly, the people you care for will die because of you. “Like the Shinmahoe members who were my executioners.”
For a moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes widened.
What came to mind after hearing Lee Cheon-sang’s words was a nightmare from before. In that nightmare, the three men and women were dead in horrible faces.
“I hope you can embrace the things I couldn’t embrace.”
“yes?”
Hehehe.
Li Cheon-sang disappeared with a gust of wind.
At the same time, the world collapsed.
* * *
“hmm? “Have you come to your senses?”
Xiliang narrowed his eyes.
I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The sunlight shining through the window stung my eyes, but it didn’t cause much of a problem with my vision.
“here is…?”
“Where do you think it is?”
Xu Liang turned his head.
I saw Namgungdan with his back to me. The well-dressed blue and white clothes suited him very well.
Xu Liang said calmly.
“Are you from Nangunga?”
Namgoongdan burst out laughing.
“Seo So-gyo is truly a great person. “It’s amazing how my soul doesn’t panic at all even though I woke up after 10 days.”
“Has it been ten days?”
“exactly. The congressman said he had been there several times, but there was nothing to do. They say that he can fully recover on his own, so all he needs to do is nurse him by his side.”
“If you do this, will you still be the head of the family?”
“It could be so. I happened to stop by once, and Sogyo had just woken up. “The prosecutor who went with Seo So-gyo has been protecting you until now.”
“hmm.”
Xi Liang raised his upper body.
I felt a dull pain. My chest was heavy and my stomach felt like it was going to tear.
Ugh.
I used internal energy to relax my muscles.
‘Thank goodness.’
Although the blood pressure was not normal, it was not in a dangerous state either. The blood flow was quite clean and the flow of energy was also normal. It wasn’t as bad as I thought.
“What about Dongpil?”
“Stand outside the door. “He’s probably listening to our entire conversation right now.”
As I opened my senses, I could definitely feel presence outside the door.
But its presence is very secretive. It felt like the demonic spirit had been captured on its own, rather than intentionally hiding its presence.
Xu Liang said.
“come in.”
Grumble.
The door opened and Ma Dong-pil entered.
He knelt down.
“Are you awake?”
“sorry. “You were very worried, right?”
“Yes, I was worried.”
Ma Dong-pil raised his head and smiled calmly.
“But I had no doubt that it would happen.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“A little bigger?”
“I learned everything from Master Xiao.”
Deep affection flows through joke-like conversations.
Namgungdan was secretly surprised.
‘Is this a conversation between the Lord of Xiaojiao and the guard?’
The words and actions shown by Seoryang and his party were enough to completely change my impression of Mine.
But I didn’t know that the relationship between the two would be this informal.
I heard that the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Heavenly Demon Church is much stricter than that in the Jungwon Martial Arts, so much so that one does not even dare to raise one’s head in front of one’s superiors.
They were amazing people in many ways.
Xi Liang stood up and took the gun.
“Thanks to you, I have been greatly blessed. thank you.”
Namgungdan twisted his body slightly.
“This is a burdensome greeting. “I just did my duty as a strong man.”
“There will be problems with Namgung’s reputation in the future.”
“I am not a person who has lived a life influenced by reputation. I have just lived by my beliefs and will continue to do so. So you have nothing to thank me for.”
Although he speaks plainly, the reality is that he has a lot of worries. This is because the owner of a family cannot simply proceed with his or her beliefs.
Seoryang knew it and Namgungdan knew it. Whatever it was, it was clear that Namgoongdan was not used to receiving thanks from anyone.
“Even if it doesn’t have to be that, there is something else to be thankful for.”
“hmm?”
“Didn’t you cut down the source of the evil energy? “If it weren’t for the power of the head of the family…”
“Still, Sogyo Seo wouldn’t have died.”
Seoliang looked directly at Namgungdan.
Namgungdan shook his head.
“Up until this day, I have been constantly practicing my sword, but I have not been able to reach the level that Sogyo achieved.
However, I am confident that my insight into martial arts is no less than that of a teenage expert. From what I saw, Sogyo Seo was a person capable of handling that fraud.”
It wasn’t wrong.
Xiliang’s body boasts the strength of immortality. This means that it is not just sturdy but also has sufficient flexibility.
Before the physical body collapsed, the enlightenment that was ingrained in the body would have found a way to evaporate or accept the morale in an instant.
This means that even if there was no help from Namgungdan, he would not have died.
but.
“My people could have suffered damage due to my magic. Furthermore, your family’s prosecutors were also almost swept away.”
This was exactly the problem.
Seoryang would not have died, but if he had not saved it in time, Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin, who were nearby, would have been unharmed.
In other words, Namgungdan saved the lives of Seoryang and his group, not Seoryang’s life.
“Anyway, everyone survived, so that’s it. “I don’t really want to receive a public death.”
“Well, since you say that, I won’t give you any more gold lacquer.”
Namgoongdan burst out laughing. It seemed like he was amused by Seoryang’s vocabulary, which exquisitely moves between sincerity and jokes.
“Your body may not be normal yet. Since you have come to the royal family, I would like you to rest until you recover.”
“I will not forget the matriarch’s consideration.”
“then.”
Namgung Dan left the room.
Seoyang flopped down on the bed.
“It’s sore.”
“Please lie down. “I will bring you a meal.”
“Yes, I am hungry.”
Xiliang glanced at the door.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
“yes?”
“I mean the head of the Nangung family.”
Ma Dong-pil nodded.
“I thought there was nothing greater than martial arts. But I changed my mind after seeing the Nangung family.”
Even if he encounters Nangungdan in the future, he will never be able to point his sword at him due to his personality. Because I owe you my life and my heart.
In other words, it was as if Namgungdan had already defeated Seoliang, who was stronger than him.
“That is the true path. Defeating your opponent with your heart before facing the sword.
As long as the Namgoong family’s temperament is not dulled, the Namgoong family will be able to leap forward once again.”
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
“Apart from that, I would like to share a sword with the head of the Nangong family.”
“He will be a great partner for you now. Come to think of it, you opened the Ink King Sword, right?”
“Oh yeah. It just so happened….”
“It’s just like you. “The Demon Soldiers of Heaven and Earth cannot be opened by chance.”
Xiliang glanced at the corner.
The Cheonmado was placed on a long pedestal. No demonic force was felt in the elegant purple-black sword body.
‘It’s a pain in the ass.’
It seemed that the balance of internal and external energy had somehow been achieved. The peacefully sleeping Cheonmado looked more ancient than any other weapon in the world.
“Oh, but what about cherry blossoms?”
“Even though that wasn’t the case, I contacted Hao Wen. “We will arrive at Nangong Street in about two days.”
“good. “What about Sangrin?”
“I’m resting. I suffered quite a few internal injuries and am currently receiving treatment. Fortunately, the recovery was quick.”
Anyway, everyone was safe.
A deep look of fatigue appeared on Seo-ryang’s face. It was only after confirming that the entire group was safe that the fatigue set in.
“Phew, I’m dying.”
It’s been a while since I’ve had a good rest for two or three days.
