〈 Cheongimaseon (1) 〉
Unrest began to spread among the demonic cultists.
“…Master?”
“I wonder if it’s fake… No, this energy is definitely the cult leader’s Heavenly Demon Divine Power…”
“Is he really alive? “So the soldier lied?”
What was the reason for them to cut off contact with the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church and follow the military like this?
Wasn’t it to avenge the lord who led them and restore the church to its original state so as not to be fooled by the enemy who killed Cheonma, the leader of the church, and took his place?
Faced with a situation where the cause was shaken from its roots, even those who had struggled to maintain their composure even in the midst of a sudden war could not hide their embarrassment.
So far, the effect has been limited to a portion of the battlefield, but if left as is, it will soon spread to the entire group.
“No, not the cult leader.”
In that situation, the old man’s soft words made all the people around him focus on him.
Soldier Ya Yul-hwan quietly looked at Cheonma with bright yellow reptile eyes.
He opened his mouth with confidence.
“…Is it Jiangshi? Huh, that’s amazing. A jiangshi who not only has an ego, but also pretends to be a living person by imitating the energy from when he was alive. Hehehehe.”
He burst out laughing as if it were absurd, then stuck out his tongue and shook his head.
Although he was momentarily taken aback by how much effort had been put into it, upon closer inspection, he was able to clearly see something was wrong.
Just like that person called the Demon King, he is filled with the energy of death that a living person can never have, just covering it up with an artificially created life force.
“It’s crazy to see a person alive and well. It seems like the military has been having a hard time. “I understand because the situation was what it was.”
“Hoo, so you are the Heavenly Demon himself?”
“Can’t you see it? “Tsk, I listened carefully even though I was getting old.”
“Hmm—I guess my memory isn’t complete as expected. “It looks like he wanted to imitate the cult leader with the information he gathered from somewhere, but it wouldn’t be of any use to us who have been with him for a long time, as long as he stays safe.”
“…….”
Just as you said.
The demon cultists who had been confused just a moment ago were now quietly looking at the Heavenly Demon with narrowed eyes.
His eyes flashed fiercely as if he wouldn’t miss a single move.
‘…But I still did it just in case.’
Hans frowned slightly at the reaction of those around him.
I thought he imitated others pretty well because he was injected with memories extracted from various demonic cultists, including the Cheonma himself, but it seemed like he wasn’t even good enough to deceive those who could be considered close associates.
‘Resurrecting a dead person in its original state is impossible even in today’s country.’
In the first place, undead are beings whose thoughts as humans have been concentrated and distorted.
Although he was able to use his body in some way while awakening to divinity, it was completely impossible to embody his soul and self, which had reached the peak of sage and was even an apostle of the Buncheon Church.
“Tsk, I thought it would be a little easier.”
Hans clicked his tongue as he looked down at the demonic cultists, whose hostility was slowly beginning to rise, as if they had finally reached a conclusion.
I wanted to get them back in as good condition as possible, but that seemed like too much greed.
In that case, all that’s left is a full-scale performance event.
Grumble—
as soon as Hans’ will was conveyed.
Actor Cheonma Kangsi stepped forward and pulled out the beloved sword he was wearing at his waist.
“I can’t help it. “It would be my duty as a religious leader to guide my subordinates who have become deluded and deluded.”
By continuing to perform passionately and not giving up until the end.
‘Well, actually, if you think about it, being recognized by them isn’t that important.’
Isn’t that true just by looking at the process by which Hans came to dominate the Heavenly Demon Church?
Did the people there follow him because he was a Heavenly Demon?
No no!
What was needed now was not such a flimsy justification.
‘Only force. As long as I have the overwhelming power to make everything happen the way I want, everything else doesn’t matter.’
If everyone doesn’t admit it, just force them to admit it.
If you look at that Jiangshi and say you are the Heavenly Demon, from that moment on, no matter what anyone says, you will become the Heavenly Demon.
Although we had to endure some loss of power in the process, we had enough power to carry out our will.
Goooooh—
A pitch-black energy flowed out from the Heavenly Demon’s body.
It was a force derived from the Cheonma Shingong, a German martial arts symbolizing the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, but its nature was a little different from the inner martial arts he used during his lifetime.
It was a destructive force imbued with a darker and more gloomy energy of death than before.
And that wasn’t the only thing that supported his military power.
Although it has mental side effects, it assists all actions related to combat, including martial arts.
That unique skill, activated through some kind of method, prevented the inevitable decline in capabilities that occurred as the ego deteriorated, and rather raised all the possibilities within the body to the limit.
The Heavenly Demon, whose body was like a black flame, smiled fiercely and lifted his sword.
“The wild beasts raised to deal with foreign enemies do not recognize their masters and try to bite them, so we have no choice but to take the beating.”
Quaaaa—
As a fierce storm and a knife-like force began to cut in all directions, those around them hurriedly retreated.
A phenomenon that occurred simply by generating energy.
The one-eyed old Demon Sword Demon Emperor, who had been quietly observing the situation, stepped forward with a stern expression on his face.
“…Military, do you know what that is? I can’t understand it with my common sense. No matter how close the cult leader was to achieving success, he would eventually become a strongman… Doesn’t this seem like the cult leader has come back alive?”
“Huh, I have no idea at all. What kind of secret magic from this world was used to make something like that possible? It is an army of dead people who use the power they had when they were alive without diminishing their capabilities. her! …If I had that power….”
“Military?”
The Demon Sword Demon Emperor frowned at the interruption in the middle of the sentence and asked back, but Ya Yuhwan’s mouth did not open again.
He just looked at Cheonma and Hans alternately with strange eyes.
“That’s it for the small talk. “The remaining conversation is—.”
As if to interrupt their question and answer, the low voice of the Heavenly Demon echoed everywhere.
Immediately after that, the sword wrapped in black steel that blazed like a burning flame slowly headed towards the sky.
“—Kneel before me and then do it.”
The river, which soared about ten meters high as if piercing the sky, was struck straight down.
Kwaaaaang—!
The earth shakes loudly as if there was an earthquake and splits with a roar.
It was the signal for a full-scale war in which both sides clashed with all their might.
***
Kugugugung—
one step (一步).
The atmosphere of the area was oppressed, and those who were fighting fell to their knees and bowed their heads.
Sigh—!
One sword.
Those blocking the front parted along with the space, and fresh blood sprayed out.
Quaaaang!
One hand.
The one-eyed old man barely responded and jumped back with a groan.
As if following them, many Heavenly Gangshi, including the Blood Demon Gangshi, rushed in, but that was all they could barely maintain the situation.
Rather, the vacuum created by their departure repeatedly resulted in other battlefields being pushed back helplessly.
All of this was a change that occurred when a new Jiangshi took on the guise of the Heavenly Demon and entered the war.
‘This is bad.’
At that sight, Yayul-hwan, the Cheongi Horseman, frowned and shook his head.
Cheonma was an extremely powerful expert who was recognized by everyone as the best in the world.
Since such a person appeared without any decrease in his capabilities… or perhaps with even stronger killing power, in a way, this situation can be seen as having been predicted in advance.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, I guess you still have some free time? “I was thinking about other things before this body.”
Of course, now was not the time to be so indifferent.
Death in human form was just around the corner.
“Hehehe, it’s not like I can afford it. I’m just wondering how to overcome the current situation. But… I don’t see a solution.”
“This body is generous. And I really like talented people who understand their topics well. “If you lie flat on your face even now, there’s nothing I can’t help you with, right?”
“oh! “That’s a tempting offer, but…”
The conversation between the two continues in a strangely peaceful situation, as if they are one step away from the chaotic battlefield around them.
However, their situation was not as peaceful as it seemed.
Pajijik—pajik—!
Sparks continued to fly from the border of space, as if fighting the encroaching energy of death everywhere.
However, the boundary was noticeably being pushed forward, so it was obvious that if things continued like this, they would not be able to hold out for very long and would be consumed by death.
“But that seems difficult. “I guess it’s because I was born that way, so I don’t think I can tolerate others being on top of me.”
At that time, Ya Yul-hwan’s yellow eyes, who were laughing empty-handedly, were strangely shiny.
It was by no means the look in the eyes of someone who had accepted the outcome.
“Hoo? Considering all that, it seems like you’ve been serving the Heavenly Demon for quite a long time?”
“Ah—is that what you mean? “Well, there’s nothing you can’t do.”
The energy in the old man’s body began to stir.
Enormous energy that slowly swells, as if throwing off the constraints that bound the body.
“Under the protection of that ‘alien godhead,’ he was the only being in this world who could obscure my existence. I was able to easily accumulate karma just by being by his side. And above all…” As
he continued speaking, there was no trace of his previous immortal appearance.
In addition, the energy is expanding far beyond what was already expected.
“It is an emergency food that will be the best food in times of emergency, but shouldn’t we make some effort to provide better quality food?”
A twisted madness of greed and appetite flashed across his face as he spoke with a grinning smile.
Hans’ eyes narrowed at that.
Cheonma, the final boss of this Kangwhan world, had already been dealt with a long time ago.
That’s what I was thinking…
‘The guy I thought was a mid-boss turns out to be a hidden boss?’
Hans’ head began to spin.
Beoncheonhoeju, who pulled out the dragon’s heart, and the Heavenly Demon, who was an apostle from settlers and tried to devour this world.
Their intentions were clear.
It must have been his intention to colonize this world and further raise his status as a god.
‘…But I never would have guessed that there was someone who had been preparing to hit them in the back a long time ago.’
As a soldier of the Heavenly Demon Church for decades, he oversaw all the activities of the Church and was right next to the Heavenly Demon, assisting his growth. An unidentified monster – Yayulhwan, the Heavenly Horse Demon.
How big of a scale was he drawing?
He doesn’t care about destroying the world he lives in, and sincerely helps the Heavenly Demon overcome the wall.
“Of course, my long-time plan went awry because they hit first.”
“Phew—I’m so sorry about that.”
“That’s not enough, you followed me all the way here and are interfering with my work… There’s no way I can follow you, right?”
“Hmm, so what do you want to say? “You have no intention of giving in, so you will fight until the end?”
“Hehehe, well, you could see it that way.”
Ya Yul-hwan’s calm answer slowly distorted and collapsed.
But in the meantime, Ip Man continued to speak without stopping.
“Now that things have come to this, I can no longer choose any means.”
Eventually, the body completely lost its human form and began to expand rapidly.
In an instant, it exceeded a dozen meters and began to soar even higher.
Quad-duk-
Hans stepped back slightly and stared at the figure with narrowed eyes.
‘…The attack doesn’t work.’
As is my habit of not being able to leave my opponent alone whenever he transforms, I tried to attack him with the magical power of death, but this time, as if some strange logic was at work, the attack didn’t work properly.
They say the main god of this world is the Dragon God, and it seems like there are some world laws related to that.
[There would be no need to go to such lengths to hide one’s identity in a situation like this.]
But that was only an extremely fleeting moment.
The being that had completed its transformation in the blink of an eye looked down from above.
It has a long body covered in scales, beaky eyes, sharp teeth, and horns that rise upward.
It had the shape of a dragon, just as Hans had guessed.
However, if it was something he didn’t expect…
“…was it Hydra? No, I should say six-headed dragon.”
The point was that there was more than one head wiggling around.
It wasn’t just six heads either.
Red, blue, white, black, yellow—and even the green head in the center.
Each of the six heads was even biting down on the Yeouiju.
‘It is said that a dragon can only have one Yeouiju…’
Hans was frowning at the discrepancy in the information he received through Horus.
The fierce battle was suddenly halted by the appearance of a huge monster dragon that suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield.
[There’s nothing we can do when it’s like this. No, it actually went well. Right now, I will eat you up and take away the secret arts of this other world! If that power is added to me, there will be no need to fend for yourself anymore!]
Cry, rumble—!
The atmosphere shakes violently with the storm that is driven by the roar of the six-headed dragon.
It was the moment when Kang Hwan-gye’s true hidden boss appeared.
