Chapter 416
416fury. What I missed back then
I only touched it lightly with my fingers, but I couldn't move like a butterfly caught in a spider's web..
“It's you again.”
The Blood Demon looked closely into the eyes of Twenty-Seven with his jewel-red eyes. I didn't raise my attack power or activate my blood demon eye..
Nevertheless, with eyes that seemed to see right through his inner thoughts, Number 27 almost revealed his entire plan on the spot..
If that day was the first time he met a blood demon, if his dantian had been broken and he had not been abandoned by the blood dragon, if he had not expected that the demon brain would vomit on him in the future..
‘I might have been captivated by those eyes and confessed my sins and asked for forgiveness..’
However, at this time, Twenty Seven already hated the blood religion deep in his bones..
Okay…….
When I bit my tongue, the blood flowed down my esophagus and I came to my senses..
Then, the Blood Demon's eyebrows, which seemed to have been drawn with a brush, rose slightly. He clearly looked interested..
“……Teacher?”
As the time between the two people faced each other became longer, Demon Brain and the Blood Dragon Lord, who were watching from the side, became more embarrassed than the people involved..
In particular, Demon Brain looked at Number 27 with eyes filled with displeasure and suspicion. He was the type of person who couldn't tolerate something he didn't know..
“Why does the religious leader look after such an insignificant person?…….”
The answer came from the mouth of the twenty-seventh number, not the blood demon. For a moment, my voice trembled due to my intense emotions..
“do you remember me?”
The moment I opened my mouth, blood flowed out, but no one paid attention to that fact..
Everyone was looking at the languid smile on the Blood Demon's lips..
“Weren’t you in the Blood Dragon Corps before??”
At those words, the Great Blood Dragon immediately bowed down. After hearing the leader's words, the face of the twenty-seventh number came to mind..
“He was under the command of the former Blood Dragon Lord, a traitor. I understand that his Danjeon was damaged due to excessive practice, and he was expelled from the Blood Dragon Corps..”
“…….”
A few years ago, the Great Blood Dragon, whom the Twenty-Seventh Lord had as a superior, was executed on the charge of attempting to assassinate the religious leader..
He was an honest and loyal man who was said to have become a charlatan if he had been born into a political faction, but he was accused of being a traitor and died overnight..
It was a ridiculous false accusation..
‘Even though the Blood Demon knew that, he just ignored it. The warrior who has been by his side for nearly twenty years…….’
During his time in the Blood Dragons, the only person who treated Number 27 like a human being was the Blood Dragons..
His unjust death was also one of the reasons why Twenty Seven decided to betray the blood religion..
“Teacher. This person is no longer a member of the Blood Dragon. This is someone you don't need to worry about..”
The Blood Dragon Chief I'm talking about now was the vice-lord when Twenty Seven was in the Blood Dragon Team..
“Why are you here?!”
The Blood Dragon Lord glared at his former subordinate whom he met again with a contemptuous gaze. It was like seeing a stain on clothes that should have been clean. If I couldn't give a good reason, I was going to kill him right away..
“I am…….”
At that moment, the brain intervened..
“Lord Blood Dragon, please calm down. This is what I called. I knew you had an unusual history, but it was purely coincidental that I encountered you like this today..”
The doubt and displeasure towards Number 27 disappeared from the mind's eyes. It was judged that the reason the cult leader showed interest in Twenty Seven was simply because he had previously been in the Blood Dragons..
But in fact, their relationship was not that simple..
- You will either become the rock that will help our school achieve great things in the future... … . It's destined to burn down our school..
At that time, Twenty Seven did not remember those words, but Baek Soo-ryong clearly remembered them..
“How could the religious leader himself step into such a squalid place? If you had called, I would have rushed over in a month.…….”
The blood demon slowly took his gaze away from the twenty-seventh number and looked at the demon brain..
“I just walked wherever my feet took me. Maybe fate led me here.”
Blood Demon's eccentricities were famous..
Words and actions whose meaning is difficult to interpret.
If it were just him, he would have been treated as a simple madman, but he was an absolute master and a magician with incredible strength, considered the strongest in the history of blood religion..
Every word was bound to be meaningful to the believers. It wasn't much different as an elder..
Demon Brain said with a very moved expression..
“Seeing you step toward me today, I can be confident that the grand plan I have prepared will definitely succeed.!”
The demon brain began to talk about things that the leader had not even asked. He also explained why No. 27 was here..
“This person is currently raising students at our school as a martial arts instructor. Although his Danjeon is broken and he is no longer useful as a warrior, he is quite talented at teaching. I entrusted you with an important mission..”
“What kind of mission is it??”
Ma-noe was famous for being cunning and vicious among the blood demon elders, but in front of the blood demon, he was nothing more than a loyal and ardent fanatic..
“……Therefore, we have made a plan to wipe out all those who stand in the way of our school's unification of martial arts.!”
thud!
After explaining the entire plan, Magic Brain hit his forehead on the floor and fought with all his might. The same was true for the blood dragons guarding the blood dragon leader and the cult leader. To prove their loyalty to each other, they got down on their knees and pressed their foreheads together. The floor rang several times..
“…….”
Twenty Seven was the only one looking at the leader with a stern expression. Even that was because the blood demon did not allow it. An unprecedented power was binding my entire body so that I could not move..
Baek Su-ryong borrowed his previous life's vision and looked at the scene together..
‘crazy fanatics.’
However, it was the presence of the Blood Demon that made it possible..
A level that transcended humanity encompassed this space itself..
“Elder Lee. I hope your plan succeeds..”
It was a short answer that felt insincere compared to the long and passionate explanation, but as if that was enough, the devil's body trembled and praised the blood demon..
“I am honored that you trusted me and entrusted me with it.!”
And at that moment, Baek Soo-ryong realized the horrifying truth..
‘Blood demons are not interested in conquering martial arts..’
A truth that would be shocking if the brain knew.
No, it's a story no one in the blood religion will believe..
But Baek Soo-ryong was sure. I could have made a bet.
‘At the time, I couldn't even imagine it.…….’
The current Baeksuryong did not deify the blood demons, nor did he have any sense of awe..
When I cleared away the emotions that clouded my eyes and looked again, there was only an absolute person with a bored face. The leader of the Madou who dream of conquering Wulin, as spoken of by political factions, was nowhere to be found..
‘It's not just about conquering Wulin. The author is not interested in anything.’
The blood demon had no interest in the story of the demon brain..
His eyes were looking somewhere different from those of the followers who blindly followed him..
Even if other people didn't know, Baek Su-ryong knew..
‘Then what do you want??’
If you think about it, there were quite a few strange things..
It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, blood religion enjoyed its greatest prosperity in history..
All the factions of the four factions promoted Hyeonggyo as their suzerain, and the martial arts faction of the Jeong faction was anxious as to when they would invade..
I had enough power to plan the entire martial arts world..
‘didn't do anything.’
The Blood Demon did not give any orders to the believers who would have jumped into the fire pit if it were his order..
I just watched.
Even though I know that the elders, including Ma-noe, are planning all kinds of schemes and are ready to take orders at any time..
“Be patient and wait. The time will come soon.”
““honorary name!””
He deceived everyone with false hopes..
‘What on earth is your purpose??’
A being that is completely outside of common sense, understanding, and conventional wisdom..
It was impossible for Baeksuryong to fully understand blood demons ‘yet’.
“That's interesting.”
When I came to my senses, I saw the blood demon staring at me again..
Baek Su-ryong was confused..
Is what he is looking at the twenty-seventh issue of his previous life?,
Or is it transcending time and space, speaking to the White Water Dragon himself?.
“Since you are working hard for the school, I will give you a reward too..”
“……It is an honor beyond measure. Please take it away…….”
“I will allow access to the old library..”
Number 27's mouth froze at the unexpected words..
“Teacher. If you say it's an old library,……?”
The Demon Brain asked in a puzzled voice..
Although he didn't dare to criticize him in a disrespectful way, his expression was filled with questions as to why such a lowly instructor would be given such a reward..
“If you refer to the books in the old library, it will also be helpful in studying the martial arts of the masters in the prison..”
“That is correct. But that place…….”
“My brain. didn't tell you.”
The Demon Brain's complexion turned pale. He immediately fell down and begged for forgiveness..
“Lord, please kill me!”
The blood demon did not punish the demon brain. I wouldn't have been angry in the first place. Because he was someone I had no interest in..
His red eyes were fixed on the most insignificant and weak being in this place. The lips that seemed to have been drawn with a brush were subtly twisted..
“If you're lucky, you might find what you want there.”
“……I will definitely make the Great Revelation a success and repay the favor of the sect leader..”
Number 27, who came to his senses late, answered with a trembling voice..
“I'm looking forward to the next one.”
The blood demon turned around with a strange smile. No one could open their mouths until his back completely disappeared..

old library.
It was one of the oldest spaces in Hyegyo..
Martial arts that were discarded a long time ago. Tombs of martial artists who were abandoned because they were deemed useless, abandoned halfway through making, or judged to be ineffective..
However, every warrior of the blood religion was interested in the old library at least once..
-You never know. You might be able to find the martial arts hidden by the previous sect leaders in the old library..
This was because most of the masters of martial arts abandoned here were past religious leaders or unrivaled experts who left their names in the history of the blood religion..
Therefore, the old library was designated as a forbidden area even in the religious cult, and only those who obtained permission from the religious leader could enter..
-Old library? I haven't heard of nine out of ten people who went in and out of there falling down.?
-So does that mean that one in ten people got a new skill??
-No. It means you have become an asshole..
Even when I was in the Blood Dragons, I heard about the old library several times..
Most of them are stories that are close to ghost stories..
But one thing was certain.
- They say there are all kinds of experimental martial arts there. From martial arts that can be taught to animals, to martial arts that are mixed with martial arts, to martial arts that can be performed even if the dantian is broken.…….
-The money-saving experts created something like that because they had nothing else to do.?
-how do i even know that?
-I would like to go in at least once…….
-Arthur. You will never go there in your life. It must have been ten years since the last time someone went in..
Recalling what his senior from the Blood Dragons had told him, Number 27 entered the old library..
Dust was accumulating inside the library..
Countless books, scrolls, and even scribbles on torn paper..
For a moment, I was confused by the completely disorganized interior..
“……There may be a way to restore the broken power supply here..”
Number 27 couldn't hide his excitement and started muttering and searching inside the room..
Maybe this is the last hope.
In fact, here he got what he wanted and more..
‘It was here that I found the Reverse Heavenly Art..’
Baek Soo-ryong looked around the old library, recalling old memories..
If there was something I missed back then, I might be able to find it this time..
