Regressor’s Life After Retirement - Chapter 168
—————————————
[No business in Daguri (2) – Moorim All Star ]
“…I can’t believe it.”
Manbaknogoe reflected his face in the pond.
All the age spots on my face disappeared, and my body, which had been dying, was full of strength. It felt like I could pull out a rock and throw it right now.
Above all, the broken danjeon was repaired like new.
“…You really survived. “This tough life has not yet ended and…”
A teardrop gathered in the corner of the old man’s wrinkled eyes.
Before death, I thought I had completely escaped everything, but in the end, like a miracle, I survived. As a result, a few tears leaked out.
The great man who came up next to me said.
“Is it so good that you cry? “Master, you are secretly a snob too.”
“…Hey. “At times like this, the disciple pretends not to notice.”
“This great opportunity? “If not now, I’ll make fun of you again sometime.”
“This guy!”
The teacher and student bickered for a while, then looked at each other and giggled.
There were only two people in the cave. Lily went back to her room because she could get caught if she left for a long time.
The great man asked Manbaknogoe.
“How about martial arts? “Will you be able to recover to the same level as before?”
“Hmm….”
The expression on Manbaknoge’s face darkened slightly as he assessed the power of the Danjeon.
“There are quite a lot of scattered strengths.”
“You just have to fill it up again. “There’s a lot of elixirs around here.”
Saying that, the great man looked around the pond. Around the pond, all kinds of spiritual plants with magical energy were blooming.
However, Manbaknogoe shook his head, saying that was not the only problem.
“The Heavenly Demon Divine Gong cannot be operated by internal power alone.”
The heavenly demon magic, known as the best magic and magic technique in the world.
The secret was that it was different from any other martial arts technique that brought about a synergistic effect by using internal energy and demonic energy together within the body.
Therefore, even within the Heavenly Demon Church, only those of the Heavenly family who were born with a significant amount of demonic energy in their bodies were able to learn the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.
Occasionally, there were children from other families who were born with demonic energy, but since these were extremely rare exceptions, religious leaders were always born from heavenly families.
“…But the sect leader took away all my demon energy.”
The old man smiled bitterly.
If there was even a little bit left, I would try to call it out somehow, but there wasn’t a single speck of magic left in his body.
‘…If you want to save your life and hope for that too, it would be greedy.’
“sorry. “I don’t think I can be of much help.”
A Heavenly Demon God who could not use demonic energy together was only half-hearted.
Even with just half of that ability, he could be called a top-notch martial artist, but if the opponent was the Heavenly Demon, that wasn’t enough.
‘This is a bit unexpected.’
The great man’s expression hardened slightly. The Manpaku Nogei, who should be the greatest force, is in a state where he cannot fight properly. It was difficult.
“Is there really no way?”
The old man shook his head. He thought for a moment and said.
“Instead, I will teach you the techniques of the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.”
“The Heavenly Demon God Technique?”
The old man nodded his head.
“You won’t be able to learn it, but if you know Gugyeol and Chosik, it will be of great help when dealing with the cult leader.”
The Heavenly Demon Godkong was a martial art that could not be learned unless a human possessed demonic energy within their body.
Moreover, since Daein had already mastered Pacheonshingong, which is as good as Cheonma Shingong, Manbaknogoe did not pass on his martial arts to Daein until now.
“I will call you first, so listen carefully.”
Manbaknogoe sang to Daein the Gugyeol of the Heavenly Demon God and showed him the way to move internal energy and demonic energy with the bloodstream of the whole body.
“There are many similarities to Pacheon Shin Gong.”
“Cluck. “That’s why the saying, ‘Manryu-gwi-jong’ came about.”
The Heavenly Demon Divine Gong and the Pacheon Divine Gong, both of which were peerless divine arts, had many similarities.
Because of this, the great man was able to understand the structure of the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique without difficulty.
“I’m saying this out of old age, but the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique must not be revealed to anyone else but you. You probably won’t be able to learn it anyway….”
“…….”
“Now, I’ll teach you the martial arts techniques one by one. “Take a close look.”
Manbaknogoe walked to a place where all directions were open. He demonstrated several martial arts one by one, including the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique, Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo, in preparation for Daein’s fight with the cult leader.
After the martial arts demonstration was over, Manbaknogoe took a breath and looked back at Daein.
“Whew… did you see it properly?”
The great man had his eyes closed. One of the old man’s eyebrows twitched when he saw that.
“This guy?”
The moment he approached and was about to hit his student on the back of the head,
“Is this okay?”
The great man opened his eyes and said.
“What’s going on, you bastard! “The teacher is teaching you martial arts, but do you close your eyes and do something else?”
“They say you will become a Heavenly Demon God.”
“…what?”
“Look at this.”
The great man raised the Heavenly Demon Spiritual Ball to see it with his own eyes.
-Kwakwakwakwakwa!
A rogue energy unique to the Heavenly Demon God flowed over the great man’s body.
Although the achievement was low, it was clearly a heavenly magic skill.
“omg!”
The startled Manbak Nogee unconsciously tried to hit the great man’s head. He shouted as if he were screaming.
“Hey! “Why is that so!”
Whick!
The great man lightly moved to the side to avoid the attack. It might have been impossible to avoid it just a month ago, but not anymore.
The great man grunted with an expression of bewilderment.
“I am indeed. “Why are you making such a fuss even if you learn what you teach?”
“No, that’s not it… huh… heh heh…”
The Manpak old monster opened his mouth blankly and looked at the great man. If Lily had been there, she might have tried putting her finger in her mouth.
“…This doesn’t make sense. Until now, I have never learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique other than the Heavenly Gao… It is impossible… How can this happen…” “
I think it is probably because of this.”
The great man pointed his right palm toward the ceiling. And I called the spirit in my heart.
‘Have you finally woken up?’
When he fought the Heavenly Demon Cult, the great man felt a tingling sensation all over his body. In particular, it was so bad on my right hand that I lost my grip on my sword.
At the time, I thought it was simply because the other person’s energy was exposed, but it seems that wasn’t everything.
[…Ugh.]
A sleepy voice came into Daein’s head.
In North Korea, the spirit of greatness, Agwi, which fell asleep after swallowing the highest spirit, has awakened from its sleep.
Procrastination.
An anglerfish appeared on the palm of the great man’s hand. It looked as plump as an overturned pudding.
The guy opened his mouth and yawned.
[I slept well.]
‘It’s clearer than before.’
If it had been blurry and translucent before, it was now solid and clear, like a tangible entity.
“This is…”
Manbaknogoe looked at the spirit summoned by the great man with a mesmerized face.
“I never thought such dense and pure demonic energy would exist… Disciple. “What on earth are you doing?”
“well. An Earthling who was lucky enough to pick up a spirit and raise it with darkness?”
“…I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
It was complicated to explain everything.
‘I went to the continent of Gaia and picked up an artificial spirit, but when I killed a superhuman who used dark abilities, it ate the ability, and then I went to North Korea and raised it by eating a lot of spirits… When will you explain all of this?’
Daein decided to skip it. Anyway, what was important was the fact that he could learn the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.
“Anyway, if you want to learn the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, you just need this ability, right?”
“…okay. The more magical energy there is in the body, the stronger the power of the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique. But…”
It was impossible to estimate how much demonic energy was in the great man’s body.
‘I may not be able to use all of that power as a Heavenly Demon Godkong right now, but if there is enough time…’
The greatest person of all times and times? At best?
“…clackclack. “I can’t even imagine what you will become in the future.”
“What can I do with just learning martial arts?”
Daein thought that Manbaknogoe was overdoing it.
Even so, all I had to do was learn one more martial art, and my current level of achievement was low, so it wasn’t very useful in actual combat.
Procrastination.
‘I wonder if there’s any way to use this guy right now.’
In the troubled eyes of the great man, he saw an old monster looking at the spirit with envious eyes.
It may not be of much use to you right now, but…
‘Perhaps?’
“Master. “Please stay still for a moment.”
“…What are you going to do?”
The great man placed his right hand on Manbaknogoe’s Danjeon.
And darkness was injected into his Danjeon.
Ssssssssut.
“Whoops…!”
As the darkness seeped into his body, Manbaknogoe trembled as if he had been shocked by electricity.
“It’ll end soon, so just wait a moment.”
The great man pushed the darkness into the old monster’s body until it was completely filled.
‘Is this enough? ‘It’s less than I thought.’
When Daein took his hand away, the old man fell to the floor and gasped.
“Huh…. Hah….”
Manbaknogoe looked down at his body with an expression of disbelief.
Sssssssut.
An incredibly dense and pure magical energy filled my body. A new power rushed through my entire body following the execution of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art that I had practiced throughout my life.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The waste accumulated due to old washing was washed away, and dead skin cells began to fall off from the old body little by little.
“Master? “Master!”
“…Yes?”
The great man spoke to the old man who had finally come to his senses and was looking at him.
You don’t even know what you did to him.
“Now can I regain my old martial arts skills?”
Previous? When are you talking about?
When did you first meet Daein? Or in the past, when there was a fierce battle with Geomwang?
An uncontrollable laugh leaked from the old man’s mouth.
“Kkkkk… Don’t just recover. No, it’s more than that.”
***
“Go first. “I will go at the time you said.”
“Will you stay here?”
“Cluck. “It will only take two days to prepare.”
Daein came out alone, leaving Manbaknogee, who was smiling an inexplicably sinister smile, inside the investigation building.
Daein had a lot to do tonight.
Slurp.
The great man who used stealth carefully moved in the direction of the Heavenly Demon Cult.
To be exact, the building next to Gyojujeon was the destination.
As soon as I entered the building, I felt a sharp presence.
“Is it Pacheongeomje?”
The Poisonous Blood Demon, the great leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, appeared from the darkness.
“Are you the Great Elder?”
The two briefly confirmed each other’s identities. For a brief moment, there was admiration in the elder’s eyes as he looked at the great man.
‘That’s amazing.’
“Follow me.”
At the place where the Great Man followed the Great Elder, the Little Priest of the Heavenly Demon Church was waiting.
Su Jiaoju opened his mouth with a dark expression.
“…I was waiting.”
And the two had a long conversation.
***
Woo! Ukkkkkkk!
Geum-o was explaining something by waving his long arms vigorously.
“Okay, okay. “You had a hard time on the way.”
Geomseong nodded and agreed as if he understood everything Geumo said. He stroked Geum-o’s head and gave him his favorite fruit.
“large. “Are you really listening to what he’s saying?”
A large middle-aged man behind the Sword Saint asked.
The middle-aged man, who appeared to be in his mid-40s, was carrying a large sword on his back. The armor was made from the skin of a dragon and had a dragon and a tiger biting each other.
“I understand the general idea. “This guy is smarter than most people.”
“If you’re so smart, why can’t you speak human language?”
“You can’t speak monkey language either.”
“Ugh…”
The middle-aged man was momentarily speechless and emptied the bottle of alcohol he was holding.
Ukkkkkkkk!
“okay. “He asked you to give this to me, right?”
Geomseong took the letter Geumo held out and unfolded it.
And I read it for a while.
“…….”
“Large. “What is it about?”
Another middle-aged man with a sharp look who was sitting across from the large middle-aged man asked.
He had five spears on his back, and strangely enough, they were all of different lengths and shapes.
“This is a letter from the child I mentioned last time.”
“…are you the successor of Brother Namgung?”
“okay.”
“Why is that guy suddenly wearing a letter?”
A large middle-aged man also showed interest in hearing that he was the successor to the Emperor of Swords.
Geomsung smiled and said.
“You’re asking me to fight with you.”
At those words, the two middle-aged people’s expressions hardened. The large middle-aged man growled fiercely.
“You arrogant bastard. “You’re not going to come directly, but you’re asking a monkey to run an errand and send a letter to the swordsman to come?”
The middle-aged man with a sharp expression also frowned.
“I don’t know your skills, but your arrogant personality resembles Geomwang.”
Geomseong just smiled at the reaction of his two younger brothers.
“I’m thinking of going there sometime.”
“what?”
“why?”
The two people who knew the Sword Saint’s personality were puzzled.
The formation had no intention of participating in this war. It was the same for both of them.
They had already experienced and realized 100 years ago how futile the fight between the Murim League and the Heavenly Demon Church was.
‘But you’re going to go there just because you got a letter?’
‘What on earth does it say?’
The two couldn’t help but become curious.
Geomseong, who clearly knew that feeling, said with a grin.
“They say that if I help them, they can stop the war between political and evil spirits. “Forever.”
“What is that…”
“Is that a ridiculous thing to say?”
The two middle-aged people looked puzzled.
I can guarantee that not many people have been able to make two people look like that in the past 100 years.
“I plan to go, even if it’s just because I’m curious. “They say there are some familiar faces there.”
Geomseong immediately entered the cabin and briefly packed his belongings and came out.
The two people who were watching that scene had their butts shaking for some reason.
“Let me tell you in detail….”
“Big formations are always like that.”
Eventually, a large middle-aged man carrying a sword jumped up from his seat.
“Damn it. I’ll follow you too.”
“…If you guys go, I’ll go too.”
A middle-aged man with a sharp look also got up from his seat.
As if he knew that would happen, Geomseong looked at his younger siblings and smiled.
“It’s been a while since the three of us will be walking together.”
After a while, the three figures disappeared like a mirage.
