Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 532
Special Side Story Episode 6
[I believe it.]
[What do you mean?]
[The eight great demons who decided to agree together. I’m sure you can convince me.]
[Don’t worry. Roasting and boiling an innocent old man is no problem.]
I remembered a conversation I had with Sosalma in the past.
At that time, he risked his life to come to me and said this.
I will become the blade that will pierce the heart of the Demon Cult leader, so I will join hands with you.
He has already completed all preparations to achieve the Great Precepts and has even attracted one of the eight great demon armies to his side.
‘I was quite surprised when I found out that the identity of the Eight Great Demons that the Sosal Demon Army had persuaded was Surama Emperor.’
Suramaje.
An absolute master of the six wheels.
The origin of the nickname was none other than Asura (阿修羅).
Like the Baek-faced Death God Bungcheon Demon Emperor, he was the one who was considered normal among the eight great demons.
‘Now it’s meaningless to compare. Except for him, all the eight great demons are dead.’
The status of the Paldae Demon Army, which had shocked the entire midfield in the past, has now fallen to the ground.
No, to be exact, the Demonic Cult was not what it used to be.
‘Because we lost most of our main strength during the last Great War of True Demons.’
It was once a powerful force that attempted to unify the martial arts, but it has now shrunk to a miserable level.
What more can I say that we are now at a point where we have to worry about the survival of the organization, let alone restoring its past status.
‘In a way, it’s amazing.’
Of course, the Demonic Church side was not just playing around until now.
Information about the Demonic Cult was constantly being delivered through Haomun.
The current Demonic Cult has undergone a major reorganization and has become a completely different force than before.
The Eight Great Demon Army became the Six Demon Commanders, and all palaces were disbanded in the name of reorganizing the system.
The powers that previously dominated the Demonic Cult, such as the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Ten Thousand Demon Palaces, no longer existed.
Even though he lost one arm, Sosalma was still Sosalma.
He demonstrated outstanding resourcefulness and somehow managed to lead the Demonic Cult, which would not be surprised if it was divided into four parts at any time.
Recently, it seemed that he had further strengthened his position by signing a friendship treaty with Bingung in the North Sea.
Going back to the story.
Suramaje was the undisputed leader of the Demonic Cult.
Although Yukmajang emerged as the pinnacle of the new Demonic Cult, the only one among them who reached the level of Hyeongyeong was Suramaje.
‘In addition to his confidant, Seol Ye-gum, he even dispatched the best power of the religion, Surama Emperor, to a distant chief. It means that it is such a serious issue.’
The guy called fate was also very mischievous.
It’s so strange that he became chief at the same time as me.
If you think about it from their perspective, how unfortunate is this?
Seeing their hard work in carrying out the orders of the religious leader, I will shake them off without leaving a single speck of dust behind.
‘I’ll just head back now.’
The fight between Seolyegeom and Suramaje ended dully.
Seolyegeom, unable to overcome the momentum of the highly indignant Surama Emperor, took a step back.
It was disappointing that the cause of the conflict was unknown.
‘If you keep watching, you’ll find out.’
* * *
“What are you going to do? “Unlang (雲郞).”
A camp immersed in darkness.
Dang Seo-yeon, who chewed and swallowed the dry food in her mouth, looked at the smoke rising from afar and asked.
Unlike the demonic cultists who lit a bonfire and put a pot on it, my group and I filled our hungry stomachs with a poor meal.
I couldn’t start a fire because I didn’t want their presence to be discovered.
Of course, I couldn’t boil and eat porridge like the demons over there.
“We have to attack it slowly.”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay alone?”
“it’s okay. “I will finish it soon, so please wait here.”
I chuckled and poured the remaining dry weight into my mouth.
It was not unreasonable for her to be worried.
The opponent is an elite unit handpicked by the leader of the Demonic Cult.
This group even includes the supreme leader of the religion, Emperor Surama.
‘but.’
Well, it couldn’t have been a threat to me.
If I hadn’t been confident in dealing with all of them in the first place, I wouldn’t have pursued them all the way to Ye with only a small number of people.
I got up from my seat, grasping the handle of the bow tied to my waist.
Hwadaerang seemed nervous and swallowed dry saliva.
Cheon Ji-ryeong only gave a quick glance, as if he had no interest in the fight whose outcome had already been decided.
“after.”
After exhaling briefly, he kicked the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the campsite was moving away and the camp set up by the demonic cultists was getting closer.
Naturally, Suramaje was the first to sense the anomaly.
“It’s an enemy attack!”
Sound waves filled with energy rang loudly throughout the area.
The startled demons threw the bowls containing the porridge on the floor and grabbed weapons in their hands.
“It’s an attack!”
“Who on earth!”
The cries of the demonic cultists pierced my ears.
A voice mixed with confusion and puzzlement.
Quaaaang!
Without slowing down, I landed right in the middle of them.
The ground was hollow and thick with dust.
The roar of the Lion’s Roar that Surama Emperor made earlier was almost comical.
The demonic cultists, who sensed that the situation was taking an unusual turn, hardened their expressions.
Absolutely! Quick!
White currents splashed in all directions.
The center of a deep pit.
I stood with my back straight and looked around leisurely and said.
“Nice to meet you. “All you devils.”
“…!”
“But what brings you here?”
Disaster descended on the peaceful camp of the demonic cultists.
Several demons recognized my identity and screamed.
“Geogeomje!”
“It’s the Sword Emperor! “The Geomje has appeared!”
The commotion spread.
The faces of the demonic cultists looking at me showed a look of fear that could not be hidden.
Emperor of Geom (劍帝) and Emperor of Thunder (雷帝).
The two absolute masters, whom the Baekdo martial arts people collectively called Lee Je (二帝), were no different from the death gods to the demonic cultists.
Tuk-tuk.
I tapped the ground with my toe as if to show off.
Seolyegeom and Suramaje, who realized the meaning of that action, distorted their eyes mercilessly.
I continued talking to them as if to provoke them.
“Could you please give me the things down here?”
“Hit!”
There was no answer to the question.
Instead, a double-digit number of demon cultists all rushed towards me.
As expected from being a carefully selected elite, each person’s skills were extraordinary.
An unpleasant energy rippling along the surface of the weapon.
The powerful presence approaching simultaneously disturbed my senses.
Dozens of swordsmen even occupied all directions and attacked.
In any case, it seemed like they had no intention of resolving the matter amicably through negotiations, fearing that someone might think they were not mine.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!
A series of loud sounds.
Every time the sphere of thunder energy condensed in the air exploded, the demonic cultists were thrown away in all directions.
It was like a fight between a child and an adult.
No magician could even scratch me.
Most of them fell away with desperate screams before they could even get close.
“this guy!”
A sharp wheel spinning in the air struck my back.
Without even thinking about avoiding it, I turned my head and made eye contact with Suramaje.
Let’s go!
A small cerebellum membrane formed at the point of impact.
The wheel, which was fixed in the air and spinning while making an unpleasant friction sound, soon lost its strength and fell to the ground.
“You got caught!”
Hiss! Whoosh!
However, the number of rings possessed by Emperor Surama is not one, but six.
As if waiting for the moment when I let my guard down, three wheels of unknown origin burst into the blind spots of my field of vision.
It was an incredibly difficult martial arts skill.
It is said that even King Gwon, the head of the royal family of the Hwangbo family, collapsed without being able to endure.
But even that wasn’t enough to make me feel a sense of crisis.
thud!
I put my sword in the ground and lightly stepped on the ground.
I took a stance with my legs spread shoulder-width apart and my fists pulled back.
The first herbivorous Paam Fist of the Byeokryeok Fist (霹靂拳).
Implementing a regime with the might of ten thousand years of power.
The concentrated brain energy drew a spiral and wrapped around my forearm.
Even though he just threw his fist once, a huge wave of force was created and swept around.
Whoa!
A blinding white light suddenly grew in size and filled the pit.
It was unfortunate for Suramaje, but the person I am now is a completely different person from the person I was at the time when the Great Demon War was in full swing.
I gained a lot through the final battle with the former Demon Cult Leader.
After constant effort, he embodied them all and made them his own.
His martial arts skills, which had been blocked by a wall, have progressed to the next level, and he has now gained a power that no one in the central world can match.
‘Danmok-gun. I learned so much from him.’
The direction of my enlightenment was clearly distinct from that of my teacher.
Cohesion and detailed manipulation.
A unique weapon and foundation that allowed me to reach absolute heights.
Even the Demonic Cult leader of the previous generation could not withstand the blow that contained the art of one-point concentration and died.
‘Of course, we have to take into account that he was pushed to his limits both physically and mentally at the time.’
It was then that I realized for sure.
My unique weapon, which I have honed to the limit, works even against opponents I could never defeat.
So, I reviewed everything I had learned so far from the basics.
May the enlightenment gained through the final battle be imbued in every martial art and herbal technique used.
Tukwaaaaang!
The three wheels bounced off the shock wave.
Surama Emperor, who was trying to swing the rings in both hands, opened his eyes wide.
“Wow!”
As if I had been hit by a huge carriage.
Suramaje, unable to withstand the impact, flew into the air.
The new model that had risen to the ground tumbled awkwardly on the ground.
Only after his entire body was covered in dirt did he correct his posture and looked at me with an expression of complete disbelief.
“What did you do?”
“Are you asking this after experiencing it yourself?”
“This is ridiculous! “How many years have passed since the end of the Great War?”
“A considerable amount of time has passed. “A lot has changed in that time.”
“……Damn it.”
Suramaje spit out an insult and chewed his lips.
Although we only lightly exchanged hands, he must have clearly realized it.
That I can’t win on my own.
Wouldn’t the Surama Emperor be feeling the same emotions that I and King Gwon felt in the past when we faced off against the previous Demon Cult Lord?
“Anyway, it looks like the relationship with the religious leader of the time is not very good.”
“What nonsense?”
“Have you noticed anything?”
“Why all of a sudden…”
“Actually, I have never accepted Sosalma-kun’s offer.”
Seol Ye-geom, who was watching the situation from afar, had bloodshot eyes.
I glanced in his direction and burst into laughter.
I felt cheerful.
I felt like I knew why my second brother-in-law enjoyed using false statements so much in his past life.
On the way to here, Suramaje had frequent confrontations with Seolyegeom.
As I continued to watch, I realized something.
The person he is truly dissatisfied with is not Seolyegeom, but Sosalmagun.
I narrowed my eyes and continued speaking.
“You must be very worried. “Now that I realize I was deceived, I guess I can no longer trust him.”
