My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 333

A sword filled with unprecedented power rushed through the space..

Dark red scales blocking the way.

Kagagak! Well done—!

Immediately after, fresh blood sprayed out along with a loud friction sound like metal grinding..

The armor-like scales were torn off at once, the arms were tattered and several fingers were cut off and floated in the air..

“Hahaha! This is hot!”

The injuries were serious enough that an ordinary person would have died of shock at once, but Harley dug deeper, bursting into laughter without even blinking at the sight of her own blood..

As if completely lost in insanity, with a wild appearance that does not back down no matter what damage it receives..

However, the principle of nothingness embedded in each of his gestures showed that he was using his power more efficiently than before..

Kwaaang!

The fingertips, engulfed in dark red energy and flying as if tearing through space, collided head-on again with the magic sword that seemed to have concentrated all the darkness in the world..

In the atmosphere screaming with shock and the surrounding landscape breaking apart in the aftermath..

The two beings looked into each other's eyes and distorted their faces fiercely..

“Big! I think it's about time we reached this point. He's such a persistent guy.!”

“That's what I'm going to say, you monster... No matter how much a monster you are, there are limits to it. What on earth happened to you? Is this the Dragon God's legitimate child??”

“Kahaha! well? Is it because I eat a lot of healthy foods??”

“There's no way a youkai the size of you could move alone. Can we think of this as the meaning of the entire Geumo Island? I'll just quietly hide like I've done up until now, the monsters are calling for my orders..”

The Heavenly Demon touched his demon sword against the nail that flew into his face and let out a low growl..

The corners of Harley's mouth twitched slightly at the information contained in those confident words..

‘Geumodo Island?’

his eyes shone sharply.

From what I'm saying, it seems like he's convinced that he's a member of that faction.···.

‘Well then. As expected, there was a separate organization made up of monsters..’

Doesn't it seem like it's a fairly large force that most youkai belong to??

That was information that I had not encountered even though I had been staying in this Kangwhan world for a considerable amount of time..

In parallel with collecting data from Earth, they were even conducting a detailed investigation into local forces with the help of Zhuge Shiga, a prominent family among the noble families.!

‘No, maybe the Zhuge family knew about it. From what he said, it seems like Geumo-do hasn't been out in the world for quite some time..’

If you think about it, the data he requested was also about the power that dominates each region..

With so many forces spread across this vast land, it was impossible to look at them all one by one..

‘Okay, thanks for giving me more to find out. Geumo Dora···.’

Regardless of how he would use it in the future, what he would say in the current situation had already been decided..

“Hahaha! Then how long did you think we would just watch you guys? We will never sit back and watch your plots.!”

“You are dreaming in vain. No matter how much you struggle now, it is already too late. Our plans are already going smoothly..”

I just picked up whatever I could, depending on the situation, and I got another piece of information..

I don't know if it was because he was confident that there was no turning back now, as he said, or because he thought they would already know..

‘···So, this attack is not the only trick of these demonic cults.?’

It seems that Beoncheonhoeju's aim against Kang Hwan-gye did not end with tearing out his dragon heart and drying up his energy and energy..

As I was aware of the situation going on like that, I began to feel anxious that if I handled things as calmly as before, I might end up doing something wrong..

‘···As expected, we need to increase the resources invested in this area..’

When he decided to change his future course of action and take a more active role,.

“Amitabha Buddha - Don't forget that there are also heavenly demons and monks..”

Ambassador Mujin of Shaolin, who had briefly left to collect himself, rejoined and the fight began to become more and more intense..

Rumbling—

A heavy yet pure Buddhist energy spread from the body of the monk with one arm fixed while opening the lyrics, colliding with the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon that was encroaching on all directions..

Although his fighting power was not as good as before due to his stamina and loss of body parts, Tanker Harley clung tenaciously to Cheonma even though his body was torn apart, creating an environment in which he could concentrate on attacks more comfortably..

“Everyone... they're bothering me..”

As the situation progressed like that, the Heavenly Demon's brow became more frowned than before..

Actually, if it had gone according to the original plan, it wouldn't have dragged on like this..

But after that monster suddenly popped out, didn't everything start to go wrong?.

As he cut Harley's clinging chest again, he slowly turned his head to look at the situation on the battlefield..

The situation was the same as hitting an unexpected reef..

“Argh—! Come on, you dirty demon cult bastards! This body was Gwangma... Ugh, ahhh! You son of a bitch! die! I'm dying!”

“Pfft, stop it.!”

Kwaddeuk—kwaaang—!

In the center, as if to vent his anger, a madman was rampaging around, digging into the gap between the demons..

It was a risky act in which one's head would fall off in an instant, but the problem was that the madman was a warrior standing at the edge of a disaster..

In fact, it was said that in this place, if it were not for the Heavenly Demon and Demonic Sword Demon Emperor, he was a master with no one to compete with..

Of course, it's not like there aren't experts in Hwagyeong belonging to Shinkyo here, and there's even a secret technique to disrupt the opponent's internal power, so even that won't last long.···.

“Now is your chance! push it!”

The warriors of the political faction were not so easygoing as to overlook the gap created by it..

You might not know it if you were a flower in a greenhouse that you had never experienced in real life, but the people here now were elites who had developed their individual capabilities through constant conflict and strife..

‘This is bad.’

Cheonma calmed down and calmly assessed the situation..

This is Shaolin Temple, the center of Buddhism..

Of course, this place was also full of methods and techniques centered on Buddhism..

So far, we have been able to defeat him to some extent through surprise attacks and thorough preparations, but there is nothing good about staying in a place like this for a long time, which is the polar opposite of the devil..

[“Master, we have secured the dragon child..”]

When his mind was tilted to one direction, a message came from his subordinate that was driving a wedge into him..

[“Currently, the transport unit has overtaken Geumgangbul and left the battlefield to begin transport..”]

In fact, it was said that the greatest purpose for which they came here had been achieved..

He nodded slowly at his subordinate's message and looked around the audience again..

Daesan Mujin, a Shinseung, is attacking him while blocking his path, and an unidentified monster suddenly appears and disrupts his plans..

The Heavenly Demon's gaze, which passed by him and headed toward the fierce battlefield in the shambles of the Shaolin Temple grounds, was fixed on one of them..

A young man who, based on his advanced knowledge, fights against many demons and plays a part in disrupting the work..

To a person from another world who came from outside this dimension.

“Phew.”

A small sigh escaped his mouth..

It was the first event held by Protestantism, which had been silent for a long time, and took full action..

So, while securing the dragon child, he planned to step forward and wipe out all the members of the political faction at once..

‘After all, not everything goes as expected. It's a pity right now, but there's nothing we can do..’

I was faced with an unexpected situation and it went awry, but it was just something I did for the sake of it..

It will take a considerable amount of time to reliably deal with this monster whose vitality is so strangely strong, and in the meantime, the damage to the doctrine will also snowball..

That wasn't a very good choice considering the future..

“Well, good. It's a pity, but we'll end it here today..”

When he finally made his decision, his voice rang out everywhere, filled with enormous intimidation..

And right after that.

The movements of the demonic cultists who had been rushing forward blindly, disregarding their own lives, stopped at once, formed a line as if they were measuring it with a ruler, and began to retreat in an instant..

“Don't follow me! stay in line!”

“Maintain vigil and retrieve the injured.!”

The monks of the political faction, confused as to what he was trying to do, raised their weapons and raised their guard, but the demonic cultists, who retreated all at once, did not even pay attention to them..

A chilling tension hovers over the battlefield, which has suddenly entered a lull..

“Don’t think I came today to say hello. It was quite a bit better than I expected. Even if it's rotten, it's still good enough to bring up the name of the Murim Alliance..”

The voice of the Heavenly Demon continued to vibrate the hall..

In the meantime, I cut off one of Harley's arms that was clinging to me persistently..

“Of course, if there had been no obstruction, it would have ended here... I guess that could also be considered luck. I don't know how long that luck will last..”

His gaze turned to Harley, who was reattaching her severed forearm..

No matter how you looked at it, he was a disgusting guy..

“Hmm, anyway, you can be happy that you survived now. It remains to be seen how long that will last. Hehehe—.”

The Heavenly Demon, who seemed to have left something meaningful until the end, glanced at Hugo one last time and rose higher and higher..

And as if keeping pace with him, the Demonic Cult's combat troops began to flow away like the ebb and flow..

“···ha.”

“Whoo, whoo···.”

But those who remained could not bear to chase after them even as they watched them retreat..

While the battle was in full swing, I was so excited that I swung my weapon recklessly, but as I relaxed, I was able to slowly become aware of my surroundings..

“Ughhh—.”

“Save me...···.”

“······.”

Those who are bleeding and groaning, their colleagues who are too weak to do anything, and···.

Even the bodies of my acquaintances, who have already stopped breathing and are freezing cold..

In the end, they survived and defeated their enemies, but no one here considered that a victory..

“move quickly!”

“The lawmakers?!”

As soon as all the enemies retreated, those who remained quickly took care of the casualties and assessed the damage..

Among those who participated in the battle, not a single one was fine..

The injuries were minor and there were numerous injuries..

···Still, it's better than losing your life altogether..

However, among the casualties that occurred, there was one person who did not suffer any minor injuries, injuries, or death..

Immediately after a small disturbance broke out among the high-ranking officials of the Shaolin Temple, several people began to move busily..

Joo Kang-in, a member of the royal family who relied on Shaolin Temple.

He was the only missing person in this mess..

And there was another person who was not missing but suddenly disappeared not long after the fight ended.···.

“No, where did this kid go again?!”

The cries of former Gwangma Mok In-gwang, who was awkwardly left alone among strangers, rang out in emptiness..

***

A mountain area quite far away from the Shaolin Temple.

“Tsk.”

The Heavenly Demon standing at the top spat out spit mixed with blood..

He did not allow a single effective hit throughout the fight, but it was the result of excessive use of a foreign power called 'sacred power' that does not exist in this world..

Of course, compared to the effect, this was only very small..

“Yeah, you followed me all the way here. You're saying you want to end it all..”

Cheonma stretched out his hand and massaged the back of his neck and slowly turned around to look back..

There, a monster that had made him tremble a moment ago was quietly looking at him with his arms crossed..

“Pahaha! yes! I don't like ending a fight that started in such a bad way.!”

“Huh, do you think I backed out because I didn't have enough strength??”

The Heavenly Demon burst into laughter at that sly response..

If the place where they fought in the first place had not been inside the Shaolin Temple, and if they had not cared about the loss of useful subordinates, they would not have retreated like this..

Shinseung, who was annoying with that tough life, must have definitely cut off the supply and demand..

“You're visiting my grave. Yes, if you want to die like that. Since it's like this, I'll at least take care of you..”

The Heavenly Demon drew out his magic sword again..

In fact, the reason he came here was because he knew the other person was chasing him, so he did it on purpose..

I retreated to reduce my subordinates' losses, but I couldn't let that monster go to waste..

“Kahaha! Just wait a minute, friend! I'm not stupid enough to break down like that and attack myself.!”

Cheonma, who was about to head out, paused for a moment at the other person's calm answer..

Yes, no matter how thoughtless the opponent may seem, if he had a brain, there was no way he would attack him alone like this..

But no matter who else you bring here, there is no one in this world that can match you.···.

creepy—

Then suddenly.

Something touched his instincts..

Familiar yet unfamiliar energy.

‘···Magi?’

His stiff face slowly turned to the side..

Immediately after, he was able to face that face directly..

A middle-aged man with a cold face, black hair, black eyes, and a short black beard is looking at me with a twisted sneer..

“Hehehe—you are a heavenly horse..”

“···Who are you??”

That monster was freezing the entire space just by being there..

The corners of the Heavenly Demon's mouth twitched twitchingly..

Although the opponent's magical energy was clearly something he was familiar with,···.

‘No, no. completely different. That is···.’

The fur on my entire body stood up with instinctive caution..

It was a change in my body that I had never experienced since reaching the level and inheriting the name of the Heavenly Demon... no, I had only experienced it once..

Yeah, this is it—.

‘···fear? Fear? This I?’

Gritting his teeth, he glared at the monster in front of him..

And I immediately denied that thought that briefly occurred to me..

This is just nervousness due to the sudden appearance of an enemy..

First of all, there is no doubt that the other person is unusual, so isn't it natural to be cautious and nervous??

“Who am I... Hmm, okay. I guess I need an introduction. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..”

However, as if he didn't care at all about the other person's reaction, the monster just burst into laughter..

An eerie sound of laughter quietly echoing in the momentary silence..

His next words were when Cheonma's patience was almost at its limit..

“I am the ruler of ten thousand demons—.”

Without realizing it, the Heavenly Demon's grip on the sword handle began to gradually gain strength..

“It is a despair that spreads fear across the earth.—.”

His gaze was already fixed on the other person and he was not even moving..

“It is the end that declares the end of the world.—.”

In a space where even time seemed to be frozen, the corners of the monster's eyes were bent and the corners of his mouth were twisted..

A smile that somehow feels strange.

“—I am the devil.”

On that day, the King of Demons descended upon the man who claimed to be the Demon of Heaven..
