Chronicles of the Demon Faction novel - chapter 20

Flash!

Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.

dump.

The women who were massaging his shoulders and legs collapsed with moans. I was shocked by the demonic energy of the two heavens that spewed out in an instant.

“… … hmm.”

Lee Cheon-sang watched the empty space with unknown eyes.

After a while.

“The invincibility of Protestantism, Manma Angbok. Protestantism’s great defense law is called by the religious leader.”

“The Great Law.”

“Yes, Master.”

“When I was in the closet, did any of the guards go into the depths of Gojukrim?”

Mudam’s eyes widened slightly.

“There was no such thing.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

If there was something so important, Mudam would have reported it right away. Besides, if you had the skills of the guards, it would have been difficult to even go into the middle area, let alone the deep layers.

‘if?’

Mudam’s doubt at seeing the hard-faced Lee Cheon-sang only deepened.

It was only after half an hour had passed that Lee Chun-sang broke the silence.

“Didn’t I send the third one with the third team leader?”

“It is.”

“I heard you’re a pretty good kid.”

“yes. Although he is young, he is Go Soo-i, who is counted among the top 10 in the Ho Court. We have judged that there would be no shortage of supporting the Three Gongja because he has talent, experience, and honesty.”

“is it.”

“Yes, Master.”

A master who is counted among the top 10 in the Ho Court.

It’s great enough, but to Cheon-sang Lee, it’s just one of the arrogant guys.

‘Eight months… … Even if you get a chance, there will be a limit to growth. If so, what is the third?’

At first glance, Lee Cheon-sang’s indifferent face aroused interest.

“What day is it today?”

“It’s a full moon day ago.”

“A day ago… … .”

“… … .”

“Okay. Please go away.”

“Yes.”

As Mudam disappeared, the corner of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth went up slightly. It was a very faint smile, but Mudam would have been surprised again if he had seen Lee Cheon-sang’s face like that.

“Are you blinded by greed and heading toward death?”

Squeak.

Lee Cheon-sang closed his eyes. At the same time, the women came to their senses.

If they suddenly fainted and came to their senses, they would have been embarrassed, but they didn’t show that at all. Rather, as if he was used to it, he greeted Lee Cheon-sang and massaged his shoulders and legs again.

The smile disappeared from Lee Cheon-sang’s face.

‘Or will I be lucky enough to run along the ridge of Mt. Tai?’

武) and Ma (魔) deepen over time .

Little by little, but surely, Lee Cheon-sang, who was escaping from the human mask, was given a little pleasure by the third Seo-ryang’s action.

* * *

“Oh Shiva! what the .... is this?!”

Dongpil Ma could not answer Seo Liang’s words. Because he was surprised too.

Xu Liang quickly inspected the corpse of a ghost.

horse body with tiger stripes . It had a bizarre white head and red tail.

It was green. Not too long ago, Nokchok, whom Xu Liang had killed after a fierce struggle, vomited blood and died.

‘No scars?’

he looked around.

‘Prostitute(蒼芙), Zhu(鴸), Seongseong(猩猩)… … .’

There was also a corpse of a ghost I had never seen before.

Although it is a leopard, its body is white. There is a strange pattern on the forehead, but it was difficult to describe it in writing. The fangs were incredibly long, sticking out all the way to the bottom of the lower jaw.

Ma Dong-pil groaned.

“Blindness ?! ”

“Do you know this kid?”

“Yes, Gongja. I’ve only heard of it, but never actually seen it. Even the seniors said they hadn’t met before… … To see it like this… … .”

Ma Dong-pil wandered around, suddenly thinking of something.

“what’s the matter?”

“It was said that Maenggeuk did not leave the center of Gojukrim for quite some time. Contrary to his appearance, he said that he has a gentle personality that enjoys being alone.”

“so?”

“Still, Maenggeuk was said to be the top rank of Gojukrim. Except for one ghost, it was said to be the most powerful and tricky monster.”

“One ghost?”

“yes. The monster’s name is… … .”

For a moment, Ma Dong-pil’s body stopped.

Next to the entrance to the depths, there was a bamboo tree that had been sucked out and cracked. And under the withered bamboo lay a red snake with its body split in two.

size, neither large nor small. Even though there is no life after death, the eyes are as bright as those of a human being.

“… … analogy . ”

“Metaphor? Is the name of that double head a metaphor?”

“That’s right. Of course, I’ve never seen it like an onslaught.”

“Is that the best noble in Gojukrim? that little one?”

“From what I hear, yes.”

“No matter how you look at it, you don’t look that strong, do you? It doesn’t even look like a viper. But why is that bamboo dry… … .”

For an instant, Xu Liang’s face went blank.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Gongja?”

“… … .”

“Why is that? Even if you’re uncomfortable somewhere… … .”

“drought.”

“yes?”

“The parable is a snake with two bodies. When that snake appears, there will be a great drought in the country. So, in a village in a flooded area, they said they were burying paintings depicting metaphors in the ground. They are looking forward to the water drying up quickly and draining away.”

“… … ?”

Seo Liang sighed.

“Crazy, I was wondering why these names are so grotesque.”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“The Classic of Mountains and Seas .

“… … ?!”

“These guys are all imaginary monsters from Sanhaekyung.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes shook.

“If it is Sanhaekyung, it is a collection of myths by an unknown author… … ?”

“The author is unknown, but the mythology… … Yes, in a way, it is a collection of myths. To be precise, it can be seen as a geography book , but well, it’s full of nonsensical explanations. It’s almost like a scribble scrawled by a child’s imagination.”

“I’ve only heard of it, but in reality… … .”

“so do i. I’ve seen it once before, but I gave up after going through it a few times because it was an absurd job book.”

In the first place, it would be difficult for the demons of the Heavenly Demon Church to come into contact with books like the Mountains and Seas, and they should not.

They have supreme-rulers and scriptures. Misleading miscellaneous books such as Sanhaekyung harm faith and doctrine . And it was the same in other religions.

“But it’s not just nonsense. There are some records and even ancient writings that match real history. The famous Queen Mother of the West and Mount Kunlun also appear in the Mountains and Seas.”

“… … Is that so.”

Seo Liang scratched his head.

“Anyway, I don’t think this is a bit. Even if the mountains and seas are real, it doesn’t make sense that all kinds of monsters are gathered in this small bamboo forest… … .”

In an instant, Seo Liang’s eyes widened.

Whoops.

A cool breeze blew past his face.

Chunk.

Xu Liang, holding the sword lightly with his thumb, watched the path to the depths with nervous eyes.

Ma Dong-pil tilted his head.

“Confucius… … .”

“Shh.”

Why are you suddenly like this?

Ma Dong-pil followed Seo-ryang and looked at the alleyway in the depths.

‘why?’

A cool wind was blowing, but I didn’t feel any discomfort.

The moment I turned my head to Seo Liang again… … .

Cheer!

‘Suck!’

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head involuntarily. It was a bonus to stumble and take a couple of steps back.

His face was pale.

‘What, what?!’

Suddenly, my head was spinning and my hamstrings were weak. Goosebumps ran through his body and his heart raced.

Repeatedly opening and closing his fists, he slowly raised his head.

‘… … !!’

Ma Dong-pil swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

I really don’t know how to express this.

Xi Liang’s face was obviously expressionless. But it didn’t look like he was completely indifferent.

It was like wearing a transparent demon mask that did not exist in reality. Those eyes that neither widened nor squinted were more savage than any he had ever seen.

Although he abandoned his past as the King of Salvation, he did not abandon his identity as an envoy.

There was the face of a beast that did not freeze from extreme tension, but rather reflexively fueled its desire to kill its opponent.

“Dongpil.”

“… … Yes, Gongja.”

“Here it is.”

Bubbly.

Without hearing an answer, Xu Liang walked into the depths.

Ma Dong-pil wanted to catch him. I wanted to shout that I had to go in with him.

But unlike before, he couldn’t say anything. Xiliang’s words became a terrible imprint, controlling his words and actions.

Pussss.

Everywhere Xi Liang stepped on, the fallen bamboo leaves turned to powder and scattered.

Each step contained powerful demonic energy. The air seemed to heat up just by the demonic energy that was unconsciously expelled.

Chii profit!

The cool, dry wind from the depths of Marim collided with the hot, humid wind created by Seoliang, creating a sharp tension.

Xie Liang’s eyebrows trembled.

‘what the .... is that over there?’

I can not know. no information about him

What is the terrifying energy mixed with this wind ? ‘

tremendous. A wait that has never been encountered before.

‘And this sense of incongruity?’

It’s awful. It was an ominous feeling that he had never felt even in the midst of the Heavenly League and the iron-blooded aspirations.

‘It’s like… … .’

Xi Liang’s eyes flashed.

‘okay. It’s just like back then.’

The first time I met Lee Cheon-sang.

I was shocked when I saw the majesty of a demon looking down on even the ten greatest masters. He had no information or knowledge about this realm.

A person who did not give off even a hint of energy, but who evoked overwhelming prayers. Of course, I had never encountered such a prayer either.

In addition, the sense of incongruity emanating from Lee Cheon-sang was beyond imagination.

An overwhelming energy that instantly reminds me of ‘death’.

Even so, he had no choice but to go to Lee Cheon-sang. I called him by choosing myself for my own purpose.

It was the same this time too.

A wind blowing from the depths. There was a lot of energy mixed in, but no intention was seen.

It is dangerous like the two heavenly statues, but there is a treasure he must obtain, just like when he encountered the two heavenly statues. Xi Liang could instinctively intuit.

Wheein!!

The super-sensory ringed the alarm bell. The mind’s eye , which instills a sense of foreboding and anticipation at the same time, looked at the world.

Aaaaaaagh!

As I went deeper into the depths, my skin tingled as the pressure grew stronger.

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

‘no. It’s hard to endure.’

Woo woo woo.

Instinctively, he operated the Dark Young Jin Magic Ball. The demonic energy that spewed out subconsciously became more dense.

but.

cooong!

‘Kuu!’

Shiliang’s footsteps stopped.

shiver.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He smoked strong demonic energy, but suffered internal injuries due to its counter-elasticity.

‘shit! How strong is it that even the current Magi can’t handle it?!’

I can’t even approach it and explode.

‘Can not help it. I have no choice but to write it right now.’

Xu Liang took out a piece of zetakcho from his bosom and poured a stick into his mouth.

bubbling.

A bio that spreads at an incredible speed.

Xi Liang’s eyes flashed.

thru thr.

The demonic energy that had been gushing out disappeared like a lie.

Wheein.

The wind that was blowing seemed to pass through Xi Liang’s body.

The dark body of the dark sky that spreads in an instant.

Salwang, who is said to have reached the pinnacle of the current era of murder, is proud of the best stealth technique.

Seo Liang closed her eyes.

Sarah Rock.

Bamboo leaves brushed past Xu Liang’s body.

There is an illusion that it has passed through, even though it clearly brushed through the skin. It cannot be seen with the naked eye, cannot be felt by the senses, cannot be heard, and cannot be smelled.

It was as if he had literally become a ghost.

‘let’s go.’

One step, two steps and three steps.

‘good. The pressure has faded.’

Ten steps, twenty steps, and thirty steps.

‘If we go on like this… … .’

Suddenly, something caught on my foot.

“Hup!”

I almost fell over, but I managed to keep my balance. It was disrespectful to say that he was almost knocked over by something like a stone beak.

Xu Liang unknowingly spat out a swear word.

“Such shit! what the ....… … .”

In an instant, his eyes widened.

“… … ji? Who is this sneaky guy?”
