Episode 289 The Ultimate Demon (9)
“What? In Protestantism?”
“That’s right.”
Early in the morning, Namgungdan, who had roughly organized his clothes, quickly headed to the west side road of Naewon.
It is not the main gate of the outer garden, but a hidden gate leading to a mountain path. It was mainly used when secretly receiving guests.
After a while, Namgung Dan arrived at the door.
“her.”
More than a hundred masters were lined up in front of him.
Even though I was trying to capture my true energy, the energy wave that was rising subconsciously was extremely powerful.
In particular, the four masters at the forefront were transcendental masters who had no shortcomings even compared to themselves.
‘That’s incredible power.’
At that time, the man in the lead with an average build took a step forward and took the gun.
“Please meet the head of the Nangung family. “My name is Gogura, the head of the criminal law of Shinism.”
Nangungdan did not dare to accept his greeting lightly. He also took control with moderation.
“He is the one who leads the Nangong family. “It is an honor to meet the leader of the Protestant Church.”
Gogu said calmly.
“I heard that the head of our school is here. “I have come to collect him, so please guide me.”
Let’s get straight to the point.
It was a tone that could be perceived as arrogant depending on how you listened to it. However, Namgungdan did not think Gogu was arrogant.
‘This is a person who has lived like this his whole life.’
I could tell at a glance. Now that person is bowing his head out of courtesy.
Namgungdan nodded.
“I understand. However, even if there is a truce, it will be difficult to bring all of your school’s demons back to your home. “Please understand.”
“I understand. “Master Su, I will go and see this person alone.”
Namgungdan looked at the person Gogu pointed to. A man in his early to mid-30s who looks similar to Gogu in his bluntness. It was empty.
“Okay, come in.”
The conversation proceeds smoothly. We just exchanged business in a calm manner without necessarily suspecting each other.
Gogu said to Yangjeong.
“sorry. Seniors, please wait with the defense court.”
“Hey, don’t worry, come in and come back. “If it seems like it will take a while, we will rest nearby.”
“All right.”
Even if you are a senior, since you have retired from the front line, respect the authority of your juniors. Namgungdan was able to feel the power of Shingyo once again from the appearance of such demons.
In this way, Gogu and Gong Yachi were led to a special room located in the deepest part of the outer circle.
“Howie Ma?”
Ma Dong-pil, who was with me, lowered his head.
“Are you here?”
“Did you know?”
“I read the subtle flow of demonic energy.”
Ma Dong-pil turned his gaze to Gong Ya-chi.
“It’s been a while.”
“Thank you for your hard work regarding the Heavenly Dragon Palace.”
“no.”
“But Master Xiao…?”
Ma Dong-pil smiled and shook his head.
“He went out to Masil for a while.”
Namgungdan, standing behind him, tilted his head.
“Drink? “Where?”
“He left for a moment to do business with King Seon-bae of the Sword.”
At that moment, shock appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Gogu muttered softly.
“You’re still the same.”
* * *
Dark dawn.
However, the area to the east seemed to have become a little brighter. Before we knew it, it was around dawn.
“Gasp!”
“Whew. Phew.”
The two young and old looked at each other and took a breath.
Naturally, the appearance of the two people was speechless. His formal clothes were torn like rags and his entire body was covered in blood.
In fact, it was only a few times that the two people’s swords cut the other person’s skin.
However, because the shock wave and energy pressure were strong enough to break even the freely flowing internal air barrier, I suffered many additional injuries.
And of the two, the one who was more seriously injured was Seo-ryang.
“It’s the best sword in the central region… It’s truly amazing. “My eyes truly opened.”
“That’s what I’m going to say. I thought that heaven’s mistake had created an incredible genius, but that wasn’t the case. “Who in the world is more familiar with fighting than you?”
Nam Gung-eon shook his head excitedly.
“I am obviously stronger than you. That’s why I’m having such a hard time. “If it was a real life-or-death battle, it would not have been surprising if someone died.”
“In all likelihood, I would have been the one to suffer.”
“Why do you think that?”
Xu Liang shook his head.
“You didn’t use that strange technique you used earlier.”
“Haha, were you caught?”
Namgoong Eon shrugged his shoulders.
“Of course, I didn’t use mind guidance. But to be exact, I couldn’t write it.
Simindo is not a martial art that can be abused that much. “If I use it incorrectly, it actually puts me in more danger.”
“Is that so? “It seemed similar to the technique of swordsmanship.”
“Your vision is as sharp as your martial arts skills. That’s right.”
“I definitely lost.”
Namgoong Eon said as if it was fun.
“You didn’t release that ‘hapki’ either.”
Xu Liang said in a bitter voice.
“It’s still not balanced. Just like the old boat, it cannot be used carelessly.”
“I see.”
Namgoong Eon, who had been laughing heartily, spoke with a slightly more serious look.
“That blue magic gun.”
“Are you talking about the reigning Demon Emperor?”
“I guess the Demon Duke’s name is Reigning Demon Emperor.”
“This is the best horse training at our school.”
“It seemed so. “It was a very subtle difference, but it looked more mysterious than the red magic gun.”
Very subtle difference. There are probably only a few people in the world who can see through the difference.
“That’s not the problem. “Did you not notice anything strange while using the magic attack called Reign Demon Emperor?”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“What’s strange?”
“I didn’t know. After all, it would be more difficult for the person involved to notice such a thing.”
“Was there any problem?”
“There was. “It’s also fatal.”
Xu Liang’s eyebrows tightened.
A fatal problem? What does this mean?
Namgung-eon, who was quietly looking at Seoryang, scratched his head.
“I don’t know if I can tell you this.”
“Are you talking about that fatal problem?”
“That’s right. “Usually, you have to realize that kind of thing yourself, but I can help you a lot.”
“Then give it to me.”
It was a shameless statement. It was Seo Ryang-sik’s prank.
But Namgoong Eon’s expression was serious.
“It’s ambiguous.”
“You said you could help, but what’s so ambiguous about it?”
“You are a minor religious leader of Protestantism. I’m already old, so I don’t think I’ll ever fight with you, but the young people back home are different.
“As you become a little stronger, your family members will have to carry that much weight on their shoulders.”
Seo-ryang thought that there was nothing wrong with Nam Gung-eon’s words.
The more expert you are, the bigger the difference between each move. Moreover, Seoryang was an absolute expert on the Shingyo side who could challenge the stronghold of a teenage expert.
A being who can alone turn the tide of battle. It was clearly a huge burden for Namgoong Eon to develop such a master.
“Do you know what the bigger problem is?”
“…I do not know.”
“If you don’t properly rein in that magical power, the surrounding area will one day turn into a sea of blood.”
“…!”
“It means going crazy. “He will literally become a mad devil.”
“Gwangma….”
“It is difficult to compare divine techniques and magic techniques, but if we were to divide them into levels, the magic technique called Reign Demon Emperor can be said to be superior to the Changgung Martial Art of the main family.
Especially in terms of power. If you go crazy while learning such magical techniques, it will be a disaster for the entire central region.”
Namgoong Eon was serious.
Xu Liang realized that he was not lying.
“What the heck…”
“Have you been overexerting yourself recently to improve your magic skills?”
For a moment, a chill went down my spine.
Seoliang told Namgung-eon in detail what happened in Gwangmokrim.
I wondered for a moment why Namgung Dan didn’t tell him the story, but when I thought about it, I realized that Namgung Eon had retired from active duty. There was no choice but to not know.
A serious look appeared on Nam Gung-eon’s face.
“It’s wood energy… If it had been mixed with energy other than wood energy, you would never have survived.”
“yes?”
“The wooden flag of the five elements symbolizes spring with the blue dragon of the east. The wood energy is most active during the period when all things are sprouting.
So most martial artists who use wooden weapons are good at living.”
The scene that immediately crossed Seoryang’s mind was the incredible resilience of the ghosts.
Although it is not enough to recover a severed arm, it has a strange ability to rapidly regenerate most wounds on the body.
“Of course, Sagi is subject to demonic energy, so he may have survived.
The problem is that even if you have refined the Qi, the characteristics of Wood Qi may still remain in the Magi.”
“if…?”
“It will continue to grow. Until the devil takes control of your heart.”
“…!”
“They said it was too much or too little. To what extent should I have drunk? Since we accepted so many wooden weapons, there is a risk that the demonic craft will run wild in the future.
Of course, looking at the situation at the time, it seems like there was nothing we could do.”
Seo-ryang’s face hardened.
Namgoong Eon sighed.
“If I had learned that magic technique on my own, this probably wouldn’t have happened. But you are learning another magic technique that is close to that.
There are bound to be limits to human courage. It will be truly difficult to conquer two demonic masters.”
If it were anyone else, I would have said it was absolutely impossible. However, Seoryang is saying that it will be difficult for him as he is a genius who has reached such a level at an early age.
Xu Liang thought.
‘That’s what I said back then…’
– 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 on such a path cannot become more greedy, if he sets limits, he will never achieve greatness.
What Lee Cheon-sang said in his dream.
Why did those words suddenly come to mind?
“Considering the Hu family, I shouldn’t tell you the way, but it’s hard for me to see a Dongyangjijae like you collapse.
“Innocent people may get hurt someday, so let me know my method…”
“No, it’s okay.”
“hmm? “Are you okay?”
Seo-ryang’s face suddenly regained its usual color.
“I can reliably conquer the reigning Demon Emperor.”
“Is there a way?”
“I can’t think of a way to do this right now.”
Namgoong Eon sighed.
“I know that you are talented, but that is in a different area from non-talented people. If you make a mistake, it’s really….”
That was then.
Jump and jump.
Namgung-eon’s head turned towards the forest far away.
Surprisingly, a fox was approaching there.
No, it looked like a fox, but it could never be called a fox. This is because it had a more stubborn snout than an ordinary fox and was as big as a great tiger.
Definitely an auspicious energy that blooms throughout the entire body.
Surprise appeared on Nam Gung-eon’s face.
“Unbelievable. “Are the rumors true?”
That wasn’t all.
thud. thud.
Heavy footsteps shaking the ground were also heard.
Something terrible was approaching from the forest a long way to the right of where Geumho appeared.
Ujikkeun! Coogung!
Even though I was just walking, the undergrowth and rainforest trees were broken.
A gigantic body that goes beyond imagination. A tiger of enormous size, weighing more than a thousand pounds, appeared.
Namgung-eon stares blankly at the two spirit beasts.
“If you don’t have enough bowls, just expand them. I won’t back down any longer. “It is because I have decided to advance towards the peak of demonism.”
Suddenly, Seoryang walked between the two spirit beasts.
The Geumho came running in a huff as if he was happy to see it, and the Tiger King, who seemed a little annoyed, wandered around and lay down.
“If I still don’t have enough dishes.”
Seo-ryang smiled and looked back at Nam Gong-eon.
“I also have friends who can help me. So I’m not scared.”
Geumho rubbed his big head against Seoryang’s chest. Seoliang ruffled Geumho’s hair.
“Hey guy, how are you?”
Crumble.
Geumho licked Seoryang’s body.
Then something amazing happened.
Bubbling.
The bloody wound was bubbling and healing little by little.
“I can feel the energy of my group from afar. “It looks like he came to greet me.”
Xu Liang smiled. Nam Gung-eon thought that Seo-ryang’s smile was really nice to see.
“Now that everyone is gathered, it’s time for us to truly go to the temple.”
“Do you want to go?”
“It was a wonderful dance. I will use this valuable experience as a foundation to move forward once again.”
Xi Liang took control.
“Be healthy until the day we meet again.”
Namgung-eon, who was quietly looking at Seo-ryang, faced him and gave him a hand.
“Please don’t be swept away by the devil.”
