My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 330
A man with long black clothes looking down while floating in the air, wrapped in the wind.
Although he only appeared to be in his thirties on the outside, Cheonma of the time was already an active figure even thirty years before that..
‘How could such a monster come forward in person like this?.’
Everyone's bodies became stiff..
Master Mujin, the head priest of the Shaolin Temple, was a strong man who was an expert in Hyeongyeong and one of the best leaders of the martial arts faction..
But the fact that he was defeated by the Heavenly Demon···.
“···Hehehe. As I get older, I think my body isn't as good as it used to be. It's all because we don't have enough people..”
Pussyuk—
But fortunately, an old monk, covered in dust and damaging the ruins of the collapsed Buddhist temple, slowly walked out..
Of course, compared to the opponent who didn't seem to have any significant damage, his performance wasn't that good, but.
He adjusted his tattered monk's robe with one hand, glanced at his right arm, which was cut off below the elbow, and answered calmly, putting his left hand together..
“Rather, it seems that the Heavenly Demon Lord has become stronger than before. I guess you ate something good for your health..”
“Hmm—yeah, I ate some really good stuff. Thanks to you, it feels like I'm flying. If you want, I can share it with you too.?”
“Amitabha Buddha, I am grateful for your generosity, but I will decline. Even though I am like this, since I am a follower of Buddhism, I cannot do anything that is outside of the norm..”
“That's a shame. You deserve it. If you change your mind, let me know at any time..”
The tone of conversation was very friendly, but no one present took it at face value..
Because every time a word was exchanged as if it were thorny, the tension that felt like walking on a knife edged up..
On the contrary, the Cheonma raised the corners of his mouth as he leisurely looked at his surroundings, as if he was enjoying such a rigid atmosphere..
It was the first full-fledged launch of a doctrine that had been forced to hold its breath..
Of course, I am satisfied that such an event is being held so successfully..
‘This trend can never be resisted. Now there is no one left in this world who can stand in front of this doctrine...?’
However, his smile as he glanced at the tension and fear of the political faction's henchmen as if appreciating them did not last long..
His arrogant expression, which had always been relaxed, suddenly became stiff..
“···What are you?.”
The cold voice that came from his mouth resonated softly as if it would freeze everything..
Those who were very nervous raised their weapons, but the Heavenly Demon's eyes did not move and were fixed in one place..
‘Ah, I knew it would be like this. Even though I paid extra attention this time, it looks like this..’
To Hugo, who is sweating coldly but trying to avoid his gaze..
Of course, the other party didn't pay any attention to his efforts..
“Why—why are you still in this world??”
A word filled with unknown emotions.
The problem was that it wasn't just a simple expression of emotion..
‘Pfft, this is···!’
I feel your gaze.
That was all, but the surrounding air weighed him down like a piece of metal, and his entire body's senses began to malfunction..
Perspective was lost, sense of balance was distorted, and brain activity was suddenly cut off..
Of course, his ability to think was not limited to just one terminal entity called Hugo, so his consciousness itself was not interrupted, but it was inevitable that he lost control of his body because of it..
‘···I can't believe the Heavenly Demon was like this. At this level···.’
Indeed, there was a reason why Ambassador Mujin, a fellow local official, was helplessly pushed aside..
If this were to happen, Hugo, who had not yet reached the border of peace, would not dare to fight back in any way..
All he can do is hope for the other person's mercy..
In the end, I was wondering if I should cancel the summons now..
“Heo-eup—!”
Suddenly, as fresh air rushed into his lungs, he realized that his senses had begun to return to normal..
Also, the fact that he wasn't breathing during that time..
‘···That's terrible. Even though I didn't use any special internal energy, I can't believe that I can bring a person to this point with just will. If it's the peak, it's not that low..’
Then, trying to catch his breath, he raised his head and saw the hem of the monk's robes fluttering before his eyes, and he realized how he had come to his senses..
Before he knew it, the head of the Shaolin Temple, who had been a bit far away just a moment ago, was blocking his path..
“Hehehe, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon. Are you being too playful with your junior who is still young?.”
“Get out of the way.”
“Amitabha Buddha, do you really want to see it through to the end? If we keep clashing like this, it won't be good for either of us..”
“I can't put it into words..”
The cold, frozen expression of the Heavenly Demon subtly distorted..
Perhaps Hugo's existence meant more to him than he thought, and unlike his first appearance, his reaction was so sensitive that it felt a little excessive..
“Fukuma Daeju.”
“Heavenly Demon's Second Coming, Manmaangbok! Jang Cheol-ik of the Black Riding Corps of the Bokma Dae, is the colonel here.!”
Scream!
At his name, a huge black man with black chains wrapped around his body stepped forward and bowed down loudly on the floor..
He was one of the demonic cultists who had already arrived here and surrounded the surrounding area..
“Don't let anyone escape from here. Especially that guy over there, you can't miss it. I want to ask you something, so leave only your ears and mouth alone..”
“My name! I will follow your solemn command.!”
Cheonma, who had given orders directly to the troops under his command, especially to the master of Hwagyeong, twisted the corners of his mouth as he looked at Hugo, who was still hiding behind Shinseung..
It was a mockery so heavy and dark that it was incomprehensible to those who suffered it..
‘Oh, this is a big deal..’
Hugo, who received the attention of not only the demonic cultists but also the political faction warriors around him, smiled awkwardly..
No matter how much he likes attention, this kind of one-sided obsession is unacceptable.···.
‘I can't help it.’
He sighed a little as he tightened his grip on the sword once again in preparation for the enemies that would soon arrive..
It seemed like I needed to hurry up a bit..
***
Near Shaolin Temple mountain gate.
Chaae Aeng!
Sword Saint Namgung-woo frowned and glared at the one-eyed old man who crossed swords with him..
A black sword engraved with the image of a ghost that cannot be defeated at all by his sword filled with great power..
The owner was Yeo Mun-cheol, the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, who was active at the same time as him, one of the absolute masters who reached the level of Hyeon-gyeong, and a member of the Heavenly Demon God Religion..
“Hehehe. You're old, Namgoong Woo. Is it barely this much??”
“Hehe, it seems like it was only yesterday that you lost one of your eyes and ran away, but you speak well, Yeo Moon-cheol. It's like you're making a fuss with the power you've built up unfairly..”
“Wow, that's funny. Are you saying that because you probably ate more elixirs instead of rice since you were young??”
“Hey, don't treat an innocent person's essence and elixir the same way.!”
“What's different? Isn’t that also a strength gained through outside help??”
Chaeng—
They were active at the same time, had the same main weapon, and had similar talents and levels, but they had already clashed several times in the past..
The overall result of the fight was a decision victory for Namgoong Woo, who lost one of his eyes.···.
Now that we have collided after almost twenty years, things are different than back then..
‘So far, you've really made up your mind..’
The swordsman's expression hardened at the heavy repulsion coming from his hand..
Right now, Shinseung was holding down the Heavenly Demon by himself, but he already knew that it wouldn't last long..
Because he also felt the monster's incredible power firsthand..
However, I couldn't just leave the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor alone, so I planned to kill him quickly and join him while Shin Seung held on to the Heavenly Demon and held on as long as possible.···.
“What else are you thinking? Looks like you still have some free time.”
“Pfft!”
The strength of the opponent was more than expected..
As it stands now, it is impossible to reach a conclusion in a short period of time..
If we tried too hard, we would be the first to suffer..
Geomsung gritted his teeth..
Of course, I was worried about other people as well, but more than anything, I was worried about my grandson and granddaughter who were still left over there, so I couldn't stand it..
These children came all the way to this place, believing only in themselves. What kind of disgrace is this??
“Hehehe—you're distracted, Namgoong Woo. Let’s take one eye first.?”
In that atmosphere, as the offensive came and went, the Sword Saint's sword power began to deteriorate little by little..
Even if you fight seriously, you can't guarantee a win, so there's no way you can fight properly if your mind is in a bean field..
As his hands and feet slowly became disheveled and his defeat deepened,.
“Oh my, excuse me for a second.—!”
An uninvited guest that no one expected.
He suddenly barged into the fight..
“······!”
“What?!”
No matter how much they focused on each other, they were masters of the police in name and in name..
The moment an unidentified person infiltrated the area in the blink of an eye, they reacted immediately and moved according to their individual tendencies..
The Sword Saint took a step back and strengthened his defenses to understand the situation, and the Demon Sword Demon Emperor swung a sharp force straight at the opponent..
So that whoever the opponent is, they can immediately suffocate them..
“···Ugh! How dare you wield something so dangerous at such a dangerous person?!”
And those evil hands ended up hurting the feelings of someone who was just trying to pass by peacefully..
A man who is known as a great warrior cannot just sit idly by and watch this kind of senseless violence.!
Gugu Guguk—
However, I didn't have time to do anything special..
I just clenched my fist with all my might and slammed it into the attack flying in my face..
Of course, that alone was effective..
Kwaaaaang—!
“Ugh?!”
For an instant, the Demon Sword Demon Emperor's expression became distorted..
At the moment of impact, an enormous amount of pressure was pushed into his hand, which was holding the handle of the sword..
I even suffered some internal injuries due to the sudden shock that exceeded my expectations..
It was never good news for him..
‘It is an ignorant level of physical power. Even though I was as shocked as I could, it was like this.?’
He used the repulsion immediately after the collision to increase the distance and then properly held the sword again..
It was part of an effort to watch out for the opponent's follow-up hit and respond immediately, but the opponent only glanced at him once..
I caught his eye at a car that was bothering him and gave him a punch, but this wasn't what was important to him right now..
It was enough to come back and solve the problem here later..
“This was a fun fight, but I got in the way for no reason! I'm sorry! I'll just pass by, so don't worry about it and just keep doing what you're doing.!”
“Could that old man be a sword saint? Then, the person who fights him is... a black, one-eyed sword. Ghost Sword Demon Emperor? Then inside there···.”
“How long are you going to stay there, buddy? Come quickly!”
And then he forcibly led the man who was lounging and talking to himself behind him, waved his hand sheepishly at the two old men who were wary of him, and turned away without hesitation..
It's literally as if he was just briefly blocking the path he was passing by..
“···what?”
“······”
However, not only the Sword Saint but also the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, who had just collided with an uninvited guest once, could not move carelessly..
Despite his funny appearance, that monster had extremely outstanding skills, so dealing with him would inevitably reveal many loopholes..
And the rival in front of me right now would never miss that opportunity..
‘Who on earth is this? I've never heard of a monster with that kind of appearance..’
Geomseong, who had not yet heard the rumor about the new Gwangma, expressed his doubts..
Looking at the reaction of the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor in front of me, I could guess that he was not a member of the Demonic Cult, but for a person who suddenly appeared, his level was too high..
However, the thoughts floating around in the Demon Sword Demon Emperor's head were different..
‘···Gwangma and a monster impersonating him. How are they here? He said he would take care of it, but what did the military do?!’
It was a little late to remember because I only heard it in passing..
Of course, with the big event coming up, it was partly because I overlooked gossip that wasn't worth much attention to, but I couldn't help but feel upset when the people involved showed up like this..
‘What brought you both here? Those guys probably don't have much to do with the martial arts faction.?’
The existing Gwangma was a political figure who did not belong to any faction, and if his actions were strictly considered, he could be said to be closer to the Sa faction..
The monster impersonating him didn't seem to be much different.···.
But that subtle atmosphere lasts only for a moment.
Quickly coming to their senses, they erased those who had already passed from their minds and looked at each other again..
and—.
Cheaeng—! visor! Kwaaang—!
After a short break, the fierce fighting began again..
The most important task given to them now was to defeat the opponent in front of them..
