Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 550
Episode 550 Flame God (閻羅魔神) (6)
“Whew.”
Hu Yaosheng closed his eyes.
“Now the real fight has begun.”
My physical condition was not good.
I’ve overexerted myself occasionally in the past, but recently it’s been particularly bad.
I haven’t been able to get a good night’s sleep since the church leader was expelled. No matter how much I learned magic, my body has now reached its limit.
‘are you okay.’
The body has reached its limits, but the mind is becoming sharper.
‘I wonder if the leader has arrived by now.’
You have probably arrived.
Isn’t the leader the best in the world in name and reality, and an absolute expert that is hard to find even if you search the martial arts temples of old and new times? If the troops had not been with us, we would have arrived the day before yesterday.
‘It’ll be okay.’
However, if the religious leader went with a weak military force, that was not the case.
Those who were excommunicated together with the religious leader were the leaders of the Protestant religion of the time. Among them, there were even two masters who reached the top of the pole.
A force of that size would have been enough to deal with a fairly large sect, even if the religious leader was not present. If there is no expert in that sect who has reached the highest level, the win rate is definitely above 70%.
‘They will probably also receive a lot of inspiration from seeing the leader’s extreme martial arts skills.’
Moreover, they had never participated in a fight of this scale before.
Although his skills were outstanding, the period of peace was too long. The reign of Lee Cheon-sang, the previous leader and the greatest horse of all time, brought unprecedented peace and strength to the Heavenly Demon Church.
And it is the time when Dae-dae Cheonma, who inherited his will, uses the power he has gathered to compete against Jungwon.
The leaders were probably quite excited as well.
‘Because he was a human, he enjoyed his leisure time, but because he was a demon, his suppressed desire to win must have built up to a level that was beyond imagination.’
Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes brightened.
‘The first fight will probably cause you to go crazy.’
It was when he was lost in thought for a while.
“Are you busy?”
Surprised, Hu Yaosheng turned his head.
“uh? “What brings you here?”
The person who came to the military department was none other than Zhu Qing.
Zhou Qing shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m getting sick of staying confined to my house.”
“I guess that makes sense.”
“What about Teacher Seo? Have you been expelled from school?”
“That’s right.”
“I see.”
Zhou Qing smiled.
There was a slight tension in that smile. This may be because he also knows that his fate will be determined by victory or defeat in this war.
Hu Yaosheng said with a smile.
“It’s a nice day. Would you like some tea?”
“Huh, I don’t know if I’m grabbing someone who is busy for no reason.”
“it’s okay. I haven’t been able to sleep lately. “When are you going to rest at a time like this?”
“If you say that, would you please excuse me for a moment?”
After a while, the two people sat down across from each other at a small table.
“Still, it looks like the leader left after speaking to the distinguished guest.”
Zhou Qing chuckled.
“He seemed like a person with a bit of a lingering spirit. “When I first met him, he acted like he was going to eat me at any moment.”
“ha ha ha! That’s right.”
Hu Yaosheng also recalled the first time he met Xu Liang. To be exact, it was the first time we met after Seo-ryang escaped from Juhwaipma.
Seo-ryang’s cold face was pictured in his mind.
-Are you ready to fly off?
– If the moment comes when you have to do that, you have to do it.
– Anyway, it was a pretty interesting meeting. Well then, let’s go on our way.
At the time, I approached him with the intention of testing Seoryang, the Three Dukes, not Seoryang, the Ten Heavenly Demon.
Seoliang escaped the crisis only by intuition. He even pointed a knife at his own neck, even though he was a general soldier.
If that wasn’t enough, he even threatened to kill me. He pushed himself with sincere words, saying that he didn’t want to fight in most cases, but that if the moment came when he had to, he wouldn’t hesitate to blow his head off.
‘Now that I think about it, I got hit in the back of the head.’
They said they would let me into the Cheonma Armory, but I didn’t expect them to come out with a few bags.
When I think about it now, it is truly a demon-like idea. At the time, it was both interesting and worrisome to see such a figure, but now he had become a giant beyond imagination, and it was difficult to follow him.
They say it’s called ‘extremely bright light’. How many years ago was that already?
“He is a person who has no expectations from others. “If you get your hopes up, you will only be disappointed later.”
“haha. Does this mean that since you have no expectations in the first place, you can be purely surprised by the other person’s growth?”
“I don’t know about that, but at least he’s not someone you can get close to right away.”
“I agree.”
The two people laughed and sipped their tea.
Zhou Qing opened his mouth.
“What do you think of the general military?”
“yes?”
“In the opinion of the general military, when will this fight end?”
Ho Yo-seong laughed as if he was in trouble.
“well? “People call me a genius, but I’m not that great of a person.”
“Well, that part is not visible even to the general military’s eyes?”
“How can we know what the future holds? This is a fight that will cost tens of thousands of lives. “One small variable can change the situation at any moment.”
“Well, that’s what war is like.”
“I can assure you of this one thing.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.
“When Dam Sa-young dies, then the fight will end.”
“….”
“Even if the imperial army’s troops are intact without any losses, the war will end as long as Dam Sa-yeong dies.”
Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.
“I’ve been curious about something for a long time.”
“Please speak.”
“Dam Sa-yeong, I was on the brink of death because of that vicious traitor who is difficult to resurrect. It’s not just me. “For the countless people who were caught up in his magic and killed, the existence of Dam Sa-yeong must have been like an unstoppable disaster.”
“….”
“What on earth is that guy? What kind of past does he have? “How can a person become so broken?”
Broken?
This is an interesting expression. At the same time, Hu Yaocheng could not help but admit that there was no more suitable expression than that.
“well. As I said, I am not a genius, much less a god, so I do not know what his past was like or what kind of environment he lived in.”
“Hmm.”
“I even sent informants to find out about his past, but I got nothing. “I found out about your dark activities when you were young, but I don’t want you to know about it either.”
“That is correct. Just hearing those words makes my teeth tremble. “Isn’t it like a being thrown in by the devil of hell to ravage the central region?”
“He’s a devil… That’s true.”
Hu Yaosheng smiled mysteriously.
“That devil is trying to possess the imperial army and take over the central plains. So, when the devil dies, the people who were possessed by the devil will also come to their senses.”
“Hehehe.”
“Do you know the difference between the leader and the damsayoung?”
“hmm?”
Zhou Qing tilted his head.
“well? If there are differences, there are too many….”
“The decisive difference between the leader and Dam Sa-yeong can be answered by considering the afterlife of the leader.”
“…?!”
“I am a person who has never seen Dam Sa-young. But I know this. “If Dam Sa-yeong dies, there may be people who will cry for him, but no one will be willing to fight to the death in honor of his death.”
“Hmm.”
“But the leader is different.”
Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.
Hu Yaosheng quenched his thirst with a sip of tea.
“I don’t know if it’s okay for me, as a believer in the Shinto religion, to say this, but if even in the unlikely event that the leader dies after being caught up in the enemy’s scheme, what do you think will happen to the Shinto religion?”
“…Do you wake up?”
“It’s not that much.”
Tsutsutsu.
Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes showed a terrible sign of life.
“Everyone who lives with the devil in their hearts will turn the world into hell.”
“…!!”
“Right evil demon? Official? Imperial palace? That kind of thing has no meaning. “Our school will go further and destroy all demons in the Demonic Murim, destroying everything in sight.”
Hu Yaosheng smiled coolly.
Zhou Qing suddenly thought that the smile of the Commander-in-Chief was as harsh as the life of the cult leader, Xu Liang.
“As long as life allows, any person or group that has even the slightest causal connection to the death of the religious leader will be wiped out without leaving a single blade of grass behind. “Anyone who has ties to that group, and even their own dog, will be torn to death, and if anyone cries at the sight of a dead dog, they will be killed as well.”
“…It’s scary.”
“For us, our leader is that kind of person. “The only god who must be worshiped by all who live with the sun of the Demonic Murim.”
The murderousness lurking in the cool smile disappeared as if it had been washed away in an instant.
Hu Yaosheng said playfully.
“Does the author Dam Sa-yeong really receive that much loyalty and affection from the soldiers under his command?”
It would be difficult for anyone in the world, not just Damsayoung, to receive this level of insane loyalty.
“For the sake of everyone, the leader of the cult is someone who should never die.”
“Never.”
“Hehe, why did you suddenly send such a being into the world? “No matter how many people protect you, you can’t handle the heat with one hand, right?”
“That’s not the case again.”
“hmm?”
Hu Yaosheng looked up at the sky.
The flowing clouds gave off quite a nice atmosphere.
“The current leader is someone who can handle the heat with one hand.”
* * *
“Then, please take care of me.”
“Me too.”
Dan Lihu, who was turning around, asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
“Can I ask one question?”
“However much.”
“I have no intention of insulting your palace. But… wasn’t the Beast Palace afraid of the Demonic Cult?”
Geukrang obediently admitted it.
“It did.”
“But why did you contact me first? “Why did you join hands with us instead of joining hands with the Demonic Cult?”
“I just saw the future.”
“The future…”
“The Demonic Cult never forgives those it once clashed with. “They are terrible bastards who will be left alone for a while but will inevitably be destroyed someday.”
Dan Lihu smiled.
“Tosagupin. Those evil demonic bastards would definitely have done that.”
“Actually, it’s no different from you, is it?”
“No way.”
“You guys are the same. However, the reason we joined hands with you and not the Demonic Cult is because we have not had any disputes with you yet.”
Geukrang turned around.
“I will send you a spirit animal raised by the tribe of Noeung. “Call me when you’re ready to strike.”
“Please take a look.”
Crumbling.
As Geukrang disappeared, the red eye lights lurking in the forest also disappeared one by one.
Only after they were all gone did Dan Lihu also unfold his divine law.
grasp!
Dan Lihu’s eyes were filled with a strange excitement as he traversed the jungle in one go.
‘A force the size of the Beast Palace would definitely be able to shake things up significantly.’
The goal of this first strike was not to annihilate the enemy, but to shake up their base.
That one shake will create a huge gap. And as soon as the gap is revealed, most of the imperial army’s troops will begin moving south.
‘If all goes well, the fight could end quickly.’
In any case, he was both burdened and happy to be in charge of such an important task.
‘Look forward to it, Demonic Cult.’
It was then.
Coooooo!
Dan Lihu stopped practicing divine law.
“uh?”
He looked back.
Thump! Kugu googung!
Even though we had traveled almost a hundred miles, the ground shook from the tremendous roar that erupted from afar.
Dan Lihu’s eyes wavered.
“Where is that place?”
At that moment, there was a loud explosion that I had never heard before.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Dan Lihu’s eyes widened.
His eyes saw gray-black thunderbolts and red-white flames rising high into the sky.
“…Magic?!”
