Chapter 213: Absolute Supreme Demon Arts (4)
He moved in an instant.
As soon as Songhwa touched his shoulders, the spell worked as he muttered the words.
“Stop him, young sect leader!”
The person who noticed this the first time was someone behind the troops and shouted.
It seems like the End Demon also brought the people under the Second Disciple’s command.
However, despite the cry, the spell was activated.
Moreover, the purpose of this movement that Songhwa did was not for many but one.
And it moved Seol-Hwi alone, and it was quick because of that.
“May you find peace!”
Came the last words of Songhwa.
Shh!
Seol-Hwi had vanished from there.
When Seol-Hwi’s vision brightened, he was in an unknown room.
And before he could think about what happened, he could not be any less shocked at what he saw ahead.
“Who has so many gold bars…”
It was a place full of gold bars, and there were some which looked like precious metals and various other things Seol-Hwi did not know of on display.
“No, this is…”
In an instant Seol-Hwi realized what this place was. It was the inn made by Jeok Song.
This small room on the 4th floor was a safe room above the 3rd floor. It reminded him of when he saw it when the place was first built.
“He collected all of this…”
Seol-Hwi did not receive any money from his subordinates. What they made, they used.
However, Songhwa and Imugi accumulated so much over the previous months because of the experience.
-If you need money, let me know, captain.
About a month back Songhwa came over and told him this, and that made him think of the people who risked their lives.
“I don’t have time for this!”
<Would you like to open the toolbox?>
Seol-Hwi opened it and took out the Golden Belt. And he chose an elixir.
<Would you like to use the Sweet Nectar Water?>
He used it.
Recovered both the stamina and internal energy to a level but one didn’t seem enough. So he used all he had.
<Would you like to use the Heaven and Earth Snow Leaf?> <Would you like to use the Taixiyuan Fire Spirit?> <Would you like to use the Ten Thousand Year Pill?>
All of his wounds were healed, and his health and internal energy were back a good amount.
“Even if I die, I need to head back.”
Seol-Hwi put the Golden Belt into the toolbox and tried to move but hesitated.
He looked at the gold and silver treasure in front of him.
“I am going to die anyway…”
Seol-Hwi raised his hand and everything turned into gold and went into the toolbox.
<130,000> <210,000> <330,000>
…
…
<Toolbox> 1,013,000G
He suddenly had a huge amount of gold in his toolbox. Taking this, he climbed down the ceiling and onto the roof. After estimating the distance, he ran with all his might.
Please… one, just one…
He wanted to get to his subordinates.
The subordinates who risked their lives to save him. Of course, they could not have survived until now, but he hoped that at least one of them was alive.
To leave them like this… was unfair.
Patpat
The guest house was not far and the reason he got here fast was not because the distance was close.
He went right into the building.
“This… what?”
The End Demon who looked at the familiar face was shocked, he did not think the guy would come again.
Seol-Hwi did not have the time to look at him.
“Ahh…”
Seol-Hwi who looked for the subordinates fell to despair.
All of the subordinates turned to corpses.
It was quick to know the one with burnt face was Yorim. His face was half burnt and melted in flame, but the clothes he had made it obvious.
And the one with a crushed body was Jeok Song. Next to him was Imugi with his body split.
“Euh…”
He turned his head and Seol-Hwi groaned unknowingly. There was a hand cut off.
A hand which looked so young, it had to be Songhwa’s. The body was wounded beyond recognition as if someone dug through. And at the end, the boy who did everything to save him was tortured.
And Yong Jin… his body could not be found.
“Captain…”
“Seo… Seo Ryeong…”
Seol-Hwi’s eyes trembled as he looked at Seo Ryeong groaning in the corner… she was alive.
No, she wanted to live. But the blood around her body was too much.
“Seo Ryeong…”
Seol-Hwi approached her, her face already pale as paper like she would die any moment.
“I-I am sorry. I…”
Seol-Hwi could not speak.
He thought that he could not survive and decided to accept death, but seeing this was not something he wanted to witness.
…?
Shh
The pale hand of her touched his cheek, and she said,
“We are… so helpless, right?”
“…”
“For months we went without talking… and in the end… we are destined to part…”
Seol-Hwi could not answer her. He just looked at her eyes.
“A little late, but still… I have little time. From today at least…”
Her hand fell down and she smiled very faintly looking at him.
“This is our first day. Together.”
Shh
That was the last thing. Her pale lips no longer moved.
Seol-Hwi continued to look at her lips and thought,
Why aren’t they moving?
Why aren’t they speaking?
Accepting this reality was… too difficult.
“Ah, it was love…”
The End Demon watched Seol-Hwi until the end with more interest than any, the guy who vanished came back and was moved by the subordinates.
He watched it all because this was interesting and this is the end, the woman and her arm. This made him chuckle.
“Hehe. You should have told me in advance. I would have torn her to pieces for the end to be more dramatic…”
He found this thing funny.
With the End Demon’s belief on life and death based on strength, he could not understand emotions.
“Uh?”
Another unusual thing happened.
The guy who had been in pain looking at the subordinates got up, but as he turned, he had tears falling down his eyes.
It was absurd that his clothes were wet. He was crying like a girl.
“Are you crying? HAHAHA!”
“Hahah.”
Seol-Hwi’s actions made everyone laugh. Most of the demons here did not bother hiding the laughter.
These were people who did not know emotions. And by the time the laughter slowly died down—
Seol-Hwi opened his mouth.
“I will promise you all.”
His voice was still weeping, and he could not stop the tears.
“I will die here.”
And Seol-Hwi raised his head, seeing that the laughter died right away.
The hideous appearance with the veins standing all over the face as if the blood was pumping too much into the face—
It was so different from the crying a second back.
“And I will fight to death, and I might not be able to take all of you. But… there is one thing I am sure of.”
“…”
“You will meet me again. And that meeting will be very different from now.”
Clench
Seol-Hwi continued to speak,
“Because I will slaughter you, whether you are Supreme Demon or not.”
Tuk
After that, Seol-Hwi began to touch his blood points. This made the End Demon sneer.
“Amplify the internal energy… what will that do?”
He said when Seol-Hwi continued despite his words.
Being unable to control his emotions even after reaching Supreme Demon felt pathetic to him. When such things come, one’s judgment will always be clouded.
Of course, the price for that action will be paid with death.
Pat
When Seol-Hwi moved, the End Demon reacted. No matter how much he amplified his internal energy as a temporary measure, he was just at the start of Supreme Demon.
Moreover, he was injured before.
So he cannot jump over the wall right now.
Shh
The End Demon blocked the path of Seol-Hwi.
Uh?
He knew the moment his sword was supposed to cut him, right now, the infront of him was an alter ego.
Deceiving him with the footwork, his main body had passed through.
Pat
Seol-Hwi passed the End Demon and approached a black dressed person, the woman called Si Ah-young.
Kang!
As expected, the creature in her hand responded very quickly.
It had reflexes that could not be imagined. But the movement of Seol-Hwi was at Supreme Demon and was not something that a spirit creature could handle.
Kwak!
When Seol-Hwi moved the sword, the creature opened its mouth wide and went stiff. The sword went in through its mouth and came out at the tail. It died.
“Y-you bastard…!”
The woman was enraged and tried to use her dagger.
“…”
She went stiff.
Seol-Hwi had tied her up with just one movement and attacked.
“You have been hiding from behind…”
“…”
“Like it from behind?”
Kwak!
Saying that, he pushed the sword through her chest.
Wheik!
“Kuaaak!”
She screamed as fire qi was on the sword. This was not to kill her but to make her feel the pain.
Papapat
In the meantime, the others did not leave him alone.
In particular, a person called Seo, who seemed to be good at sorcery, moved.
“Eum!”
However, his mouth was blocked by something.
Entrapment
In the past Songhwa had taught it to Seol-Hwi.
Shhhh
But there were still people moving.
The nearby Peak Demon reacted quickly and used sword energy on Seol-Hwi.
But it was in vain.
The airflow created by the body of Seol-Hwi, it silently wrapped around their heads and soon their heads exploded.
Pung! Pung! Pung!
As more than a dozen Peak Demons died in an instant, the hall went cold. In an instant just three warriors and Seol-Hwi were left.
“You people step out!”
When Hyang Gae and Yupae took a stance, the End Demon shouted.
He again expressed his intention to deal with the guy
“As expected, you have to be killed with my own hands.”
The End Demon showed anger over the death of his men, and Seol-Hwi laughed at it.
“Not in your hands.”
“….”
“My life depends on my decision.”
“What.”
Wheik
The End Demon brought out their internal energy. A ring of fire rose, revealing a vicious figure.
“Whether you burn to death or are torn to shreds, your end has been decided.”
“My end? Then I decide for you.”
Seol-Hwi continued to speak with his mouth turning to a smile while looking at the End Demon.
“You will die by your martial arts only.”
“…?”
“Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts, Fire. That is it.”
