"hmm… … .”
Julius let out a low sigh while checking the attack status.

'Looks like you're almost there? I'll catch up soon.'
“In the next passage, there are only the corpses of youkai. Apparently, the Demonic Cult bastards took care of it first.”
Gu Cheon-geol, who had sent reconnaissance, also reported that there were no enemies in the next aisle.
After defeating the eel, Jeong Do-yeon's advance accelerated. The reason is because those who are ahead have arranged the aisle in advance.
There were an endless number of ghosts and spirits living in Hyeonmubi-dong, but once the aisles were cleared, it took time for the ghosts to gather again.
'The fact that the battle is decreasing means that the distance has been reduced... … .'

According to the map, after passing through this passage, the next one was the biggest obstacle in Hyeonmubi-dong.
Soon, their footsteps stopped in front of a large stone door. In front of the stone door, Julius thought for a moment.
'According to the map, it was him that we encountered here, right?'
Namgung Ilcheon asked carefully.
“Daegyeop, is this place?”
“Right. I think I can see the end of this cave after passing through the next room.”
“Sir, then shouldn’t we go in quickly?”
Master Jiwoo, who followed silently, also expressed his opinion, wondering if he was worried that Maqiao had entered the last room first. However, Julius had no intention of opening the stone door right away. he said in a relaxed tone.
“I think everyone has lost their stamina from coming this far. I'd like to take a break for a while.”
All the masters of the Jeongdo Union were surprised by this sudden sound.
“… … !?”
“No, come all the way here, what do you mean by that?”
Everyone throws a question to the impatient Gu Chun-geol first. Julius found a flat stone and sat down on it as he answered.
“Did you not hear? Everyone is tired, so let's take a break and go.”
"No, that's not it!"
Gu Chun-geol opened his mouth again, beating his chest as if he was frustrated.
“The Demonic Cult went in there first, so you’re saying we’re just going to cross our arms and look around?”
Julius shook his head with a sad expression. The stuff inside would probably be the most useful to him, so why would he give it up?
“Can it be? I have no intention of losing my players to the Demonic Cult.”
Goo Cheon-geol widened his eyes. He had noticed that Julius had something on his mind.
“Then why are you stopping here?”
Wow!
Before Julius could answer, a terrifying roar erupted from beyond the stone door.
“Hut!”
“What is this?”
The masters of the Jeongdo Union stared at the stone door in a fright. What the hell happened out there?
'Tsk! Did you say ice flame sword? It's quicker to judge the situation than I thought.'
Julius also clicked his tongue and got up from his seat. He originally expected it to take a little longer, but he doesn't seem to give it time to relax.
Kurleung!
The stone door vibrated violently and opened wide. At the same time, dozens of shadows ran into the aisle.
“… … !?”
visor!
Chae Chaeng!
“… … .”
The masters of the Jeongdo Union saw them and each drew their weapons with a stiff face.
Those who jumped into the aisle were each wearing red and blue clothes. There seemed to be about 30 of them, but each of them exuded strong momentum, which was not an ordinary master.
Namgung Ilchun let out a groan as he drew his sword.
“Yin-Yang Double Madan! The fact that they appeared... … .”
As if responding to those words, there was a shadow of a person walking slowly behind them.
The identity of the shadow was a slender man wrapped in black clothes. His mouth was covered with a black cloth, so we couldn't tell his exact face.
“The worms of Jeong Do-maeng have been chasing you all the way here.”
It was a voice that was cold and gloomy, as if boiling phlegm. However, all the members of the Jeongdo Association hardened their faces at that voice.
'Ice Flame Sword Demon!'
Lee was the second-ranked Demonic Sect leader, Bing Flame Sword Demon. Those dressed in red and blue are his escort and the second strongest military group in the Demonic Cult, the Yin-Yang Twin Demons.
The Yin-Yang SsangMadan was a group created by combining the Red Flower Team, which uses the hot Yanggang martial arts, and the Bingryong Team, which uses the cold Yin Chill.
In any case, the Jeongdo Union and the Demonic Cult are unstoppable enemies!
oh oh
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall was put on the verge of an immediate situation with the intense air waves emitted by the masters of both sides.
Hwareuk!
The Ice Flame Sword Demon was a warlike master even within the Demonic Cult, and was the second most sorrowful person. The sun-like heat poured from the sword he slowly drew, and the haze around the sword body was distorted.
Great!
At the same time, the left hand, which did not hold the sword, was raised slightly, and it was slightly frosted, and a cold chill like a north wind blew through it.
“I didn’t expect to reach it this quickly, but… … .”
The ice flame sword demon spat out the final sentence with a spooky face.
“It doesn't matter. Because the dead don't talk."
Those words were the same as saying let's fight properly.
“… … .”
“Namu Amitabha!”
Blue sparks flew from Namgung Ilchun's sword, and Master Jiwoo also shouted disapproval and took a stance. At the same time, Jeong Do-yeon and the Yin-Yang Ssang Madan began to raise their respective strengths.
"wait for a sec!"
However, there was a voice that broke the immediate situation.
"dole?"
“A great deal?”
The people of Jeong Do-yeon looked at the direction where the voice came from with puzzled expressions. The owner of that voice was Julius.
“I know you have a lot of grudges, but would you like to listen to me for a moment here?”
“… … !?”
Jeong Do-yeon, including Namgung Il-cheon, received a lot of help from him, so they quietly withdrew.
“What are you guys doing?”
Even after declaring war, the ice flame sword demon was unexpectedly interrupted just as it was about to attack. However, seeing Jeong Do-yeon step back, the blue-eyed man seemed to be out of the ordinary.
'What are you doing? He doesn't look very great from the outside, but something is bothering me.'
Coriander knows how to recognize Coriander. Although he was hiding it as a counterargument, the ice flame sword demon recognized Julius as a vaguely dangerous existence.
While accepting those sharp eyes, Julius slowly opened his mouth.
“I’ve been thinking about it since before, but if we collide here, won’t it only increase the damage to each other? So... … .”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
The Ice Flame Sword Demon did not know why Julius was saying such a thing, so he responded coldly. Since he met the enemy, shouldn't he have to bleed?
“Tsk! He's quick-tempered. You have to listen to the end.”
“You guys… … .”
The ice flame sword demon must have felt that he was being teased, so he fired a terrifying force, but Julius did not change much even after receiving that momentum. Seeing this, the Ice Flame Sword Demon's expression grew colder.
'I expected it, but he's not an ordinary guy.'
Either that or not, Julius continued.
“Our goal is to investigate Bidong. I'm not here to fight the Demonic Cult. How about a truce here?”
“… … !?”
Jeong Do-yeon also looked bewildered. Isn't Julius' attitude like he's trying to talk to the Demonic Cult?
"Daehyup, are you sure you're not going to fight the Demonic Cult here?"
“It would be better if possible.”
“Huh… … .”
His nonchalant reply made both the Jeongdo Union and the Demonic Cult agitate. In particular, I couldn't help but be curious about the Ice Flame Sword Demon.
Even though he was saying such absurd bullshit, the Jeongdo Union did not stop Julius.
'Because what the hell is that guy's true identity... … .'
A little interested, he asked Julius back.
“Why should I?”
“Are you willing to listen now?”
“Stop talking nonsense and reveal your ulterior motives.”
“Big deal! You cannot compromise with the Demonic Cult. Aren’t they enemies in the first place?”
Namgung Ilchun also unwillingly helped with the Ice Flame Sword Demon with an absurd expression.
Julius grinned here.
“It is because of the difficulties beyond that door.”
“Difficulties?”
“How do you know that?”
Namgung Ilcheon and the masters of the Jeongdo Union were suspicious, and the Ice Flame Sword Demon looked at Julius with a strange expression.
Julius turned his gaze to Jeong Do-yeon and began to explain.
"Aren't you curious why they returned to the door when they arrived before us?"
At those words, Jeong Do-yeon was agitated.
"Come to think of it… … .”
“Namu Amitabha! dole. So do you know why?”
When Master Jiwoo expressed his doubts, Julius turned his gaze back to the Ice Flame Sword Demon.
“It must be because of Yeongsoo beyond the door, right? I know he's a very strong guy.”
“… … .”
When Julius declared, the Ice Flame Sword Demon also fell silent for a moment. True to his words, he and the Yin-Yang Twin Demons entered the door first, but were forced to retreat for a while by an incredibly powerful spirit beast.
His current strength was objectively in no way inferior to the Righteous Alliance except for Julius, but to that extent, the spirits inside the stone gate were terrifying.
“First, I must explain how I know it.”
The Ice Flame Sword Demon raised his sword again with an eerie face. However, Julius was not even ready to respond.
“Even if we were to be killed here, would you have the confidence to deal with the guy over there? Outside of this cave, Jegalunhyeon is waiting.”
“… … !?”
At those words, the Ice Flame Sword Demon had no choice but to worry. He was confident enough to deal with two superhumans. However, the Julius in front of him was an unexpected person who had fallen from the sky.
'If that black-necked guy is an ordinary 4th level master, he can easily defeat him even if he attacks at the same time as Namgung Ilcheon. however… … .'
In his opinion, even if Julius' force was reduced to a minimum, breaking through the next room after the battle with the Righteous Union would have cost even him, who is second in the ranks of the Demonic Cult, his life.
In addition, when he heard the news that Jegal Unhyeon, one of the four great masters, was waiting, he had no choice but to be conflicted. If the Jeongdo Alliance even provides additional support, it will be a really difficult situation.
“I admit that there is some truth in what you say. But do you think it is possible for the main school and the political faction to cooperate?”
'I almost passed.'
Julius smiled silently and walked towards the Jeongdo Union.
“I’ll tell you now, but actually I knew some information about this Bidong. That's why I was able to see through the trap.”
“Huh… … .”
Namgung Ilcheon let out a groan. I forgot about it for a while because Julius devotedly protected the party, but it was true that there was something suspicious about it.
Julius continued.
“The monster in the next room is going to be a bit difficult for the two of us. You can tell by looking at that ice flame sword demon retreating, right?"
According to the information displayed on the map, the next room is the last difficulty of this Hyeonmubi-dong, and it is guarded by a different spirit.
That's why Julius asked to take a break. He raised his hand and pointed at the Bing Flame Sword.
“The original intention was for the authors to relax moderately and enter after that, but they turned out to be smarter than I thought.”
"her… You had that intention.”
Namgung Ilcheon nodded. Judging from Julius' performance so far, it would have made sense if he knew the information about this nonsense in advance.
But what is the intention of confessing now what could have been buried considering his achievements?
“What is the true identity of the grand agreement?”
Namgung Ilchun asked a question with a serious expression, and Julius shook his head.
“I can’t reveal it now. I'll go out and explain this in detail. So can you please follow my opinion just once?”
“Great deal… … .”
Namgung Ilchun was conflicted for a moment and then opened his mouth. Julius' credit was great, but he also had a position.
“I acknowledge the achievements of the Daehyeop, but… It is absolutely impossible to cooperate with the Demonic Cult.”
'Tsk!'
Julius clicked his tongue inwardly. Still, he felt he had built up a lot of credit, because the answer was stubborn.
'Their grudge is scarier than I thought.'
However, Namgung Ilchun gently closed his eyes and spoke again.
“But there are so many people here, including myself, who have saved their lives thanks to the Great Cooperation.”
“What do you mean?”
Namgung Ilcheon struggled to speak to Julius, who was half-joking.
“Even if the rules are somewhat violated, we will take a majority vote. Everyone who believes in the words of Julius Daehyeop, raise your hands.”
chuck!
As soon as the words were finished, more than half of them raised their hands.
“… … .”
The people of Jeong Do-yeon kept their mouths shut, but they thought that Julius' words could be trusted at least once. That's how many people thought he owed his life.
“The result is this. Even if it's just once, I'll follow Daehyeop's words.”
Namgung Ilcheon calmly gave permission.
“Thank you.”
Julius rubbed his chest inwardly. He gambled a bit, but his efforts were not in vain. He turned his head and shifted his gaze to the Bing Flame Sword Horse, winking.
'I heard that it is?'
“… … .”
The Ice Flame Sword Demon nodded.
“Then let’s not attack until we break through the room ahead.”
He, too, had a business in this neighborhood. Rather than taking the risk of fighting the Jeong-do coalition, they chose to cooperate, even for a short time.
However, the truce is only temporary.
'Until we break through this room. I just need to use these guys to get rid of that damned monster and then get rid of it.'
Namgung Ilcheon also told Julius.
“Please be careful. They are the ones who don't know when to strike the back.”
"That's about it, of course I'm prepared."
In fact, there was a reason why the masters of the Jeongdo Union also readily agreed. He didn't even think that the Demonic Cult would keep that promise.
'You just have to be careful of surprise attacks. The Demonic Cult will break the pact anyway!'
The so-called Dongju of May!
They entered into a precarious pact that could not be broken at any moment.
'Once you've succeeded in avoiding a fight. That's enough!'
Of course, Julius, who could clearly guess what he was thinking, laughed inwardly. Just as the Jeongdo Union and the Demonic Cult each have different ideas, he also had a reason for proposing this temporary ceasefire.
His gaze was on the Ice Flame Sword Demon who was walking through the stone gate.

Once he had seen this far, Julius was somewhat surprised.
'Does this interest have nothing to do with the Church?'
Previously, Suramazon, who was ranked 3rd in the ranks of the Demonic Cult, was a skilled person who used the cult's dark power and martial arts at the same time. However, this ice flame sword demon is a pure soldier even though he has a higher rank than him.
Of course, if he joined, it didn't seem like an opponent he couldn't win, but it would be difficult if the Ice Flame Sword Demon died during the melee. The reason was because of the martial arts he learned.
'That bastard must see the opportunity and capture him alive.'
[Jujak Hwaryeong Shingong-One of Lee Cheong-moon’s sasin dances. A martial art that handles extreme energy. Depending on your proficiency, the Qigong and Force ranks are corrected.]
Unexpectedly, he found the martial art of the Master of Arts, which was said to have disappeared suddenly, from a person of the Demonic Cult.
