Chapter 355
< Thousand horse ships (1) >
Unrest began to spread among the demonic cultists..
“···Teacher?”
“I wonder if it's fake... No, this energy is definitely the cult leader's Heavenly Demon Divine Art.···.”
“Was he really alive? Then the soldier lied.?”
What was the reason for them to cut off contact with the headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Church and follow the military??
Wasn't it to avoid being fooled by the enemy who killed Cheonma, the leader of the cult, and took his place, and to avenge the master who led them and restore the cult to its original state?!
Faced with a situation where the cause was shaken from its roots, even those who had struggled to maintain their composure even in the midst of a sudden war could not hide their embarrassment..
So far, the effect has been limited to a small area of the battlefield, but if left as is, it will soon spread to the entire group..
“No, not the cult leader..”
In that situation, the old man's soft words made all the people around him focus on him..
Soldier Ya Yul-hwan calmly looked at Cheonma with bright yellow reptile eyes..
He opened his mouth with confidence..
“···Is it Jiangshi? Huh, that's amazing. A jiangshi who not only has an ego, but also pretends to be a living person by imitating the energy from when he was alive. Hehehehe.”
He burst out laughing as if it was absurd, then stuck his tongue out and shook his head..
I was momentarily taken aback by how much effort I put into it, but upon closer inspection, I was able to clearly see something was wrong..
Just like that demon lord, he is just covering it up with an artificially created life force, and the inside is filled with the energy of death that the living can never have..
“It's crazy to see someone alive and well. It seems like the military has been having a hard time. I understand because the situation was what it was..”
“Oh, so he is the Heavenly Demon himself.?”
“Can't you see it? Tsk, even though I’m getting senile, I listened closely..”
“Hmm —I guess my memory isn't perfect as expected. It looks like he wanted to imitate the cult leader with the information he gathered from somewhere, but it wouldn't be of any use to us who spent a long time with him, as long as he stays safe..”
“······.”
As you said.
The demon cultists who had been confused just a moment ago were now quietly looking at the Heavenly Demon with narrowed eyes..
His eyes flash fiercely as if he won't miss a single move..
‘···Oh my, I still did it just in case..’
Hans frowned slightly at the reaction of those around him..
I thought he imitated others pretty well because he was injected with memories extracted from various demonic cultists, including the Cheonma himself, but it seems he didn't even have the ability to deceive those who could be considered close associates..
‘Bringing a dead person back to life in its original state is impossible even in today's country..’
In the first place, undead are beings that have been distorted and dense with the thoughts of humans..
I was able to use the body in some way while awakening to divinity, but it was completely impossible to embody the soul and self that had reached the peak of the world and was even an apostle of the Buncheon Church..
“Tsk, I thought it would be a little easier..”
Hans clicked his tongue as he looked down at the demonic cultists, whose hostility was slowly beginning to rise, as if they had finally reached a conclusion..
I wanted to get them back in as good condition as possible, but I guess that was too greedy..
Then all that's left is a full-scale performance event..
Grumble—
At the same time as Hans' will is conveyed,.
The actor who stepped forward, Gangsi the Heavenly Demon, pulled out his beloved sword worn at his waist..
“I can't help it. As a religious leader, it is your duty to guide your subordinates who are deluded and deluded..”
By continuing to perform passionately and not giving up until the end,.
‘Well, actually, if you think about it, being recognized by them isn't that important..’
Isn’t that true just by looking at the process by which Hans came to dominate the Heavenly Demon Church?.
Did the people there follow him because he was a Heavenly Demon??
no, no!
What we need now is not such a flimsy justification..
‘Only helplessness. As long as I have the overwhelming power to make everything happen the way I want, everything else doesn't matter..’
If everyone doesn't admit it, just force them to admit it..
If you look at that Jiangshi and say you are a Heavenly Demon, from that moment on, no matter what anyone says, you will become a Heavenly Demon..
Although we had to endure some loss of power in the process, we had enough power to carry out our will..
Gooooo—
A pitch-black energy flowed out from the Heavenly Demon’s body..
It was a force derived from the Cheonma Shinkong, a German martial arts symbolizing the leader of the Cheonma Shinkyo cult, but its nature was slightly different from the inner kung he used during his lifetime..
It was a destructive force, even darker and more gloomy than before, imbued with the energy of death..
And that wasn't the only thing that supported his military power..
Although it has mental side effects, it assists all actions related to combat, including martial arts.」.
That unique skill, activated through some kind of method, prevented the inevitable decline in capabilities that occurred as the ego deteriorated, and rather raised all the possibilities within the body to the limit..
The Heavenly Demon, whose body was like a black flame, smiled fiercely and lifted his sword..
“Wild beasts raised to deal with foreign enemies do not recognize their masters and try to bite them, so the only choice is to take a beating..”
Kwaaah—
As the fierce storm and the knife-like force began to cut in all directions, those around them hurriedly retreated..
A phenomenon that occurred simply by generating energy.
The one-eyed old man, who had been quietly observing the situation, stepped forward with a stern expression on his face..
“···Soldier, do you know what that is? I can't understand it with my common sense. No matter how close the religious leader was to achieving success, in the end he would still be a strongman... Doesn’t this seem like the cult leader has come back alive??”
“Huh, I guess I have no idea at all. What kind of secret magic from this world was used to make something like that possible? It is an army of dead people who use the power they had when they were alive without diminishing their capabilities. her! ...If I had that power···.”
“soldier?”
The Demon Sword Demon Emperor frowned at the interruption in the middle of the sentence and asked back, but Ya Yuhwan's mouth did not open again..
I just look at Cheonma and Hans alternately with strange eyes..
“That's it for the small talk. The remaining conversation—.”
As if to cut off their question and answer, the low voice of the Heavenly Demon echoed everywhere..
Immediately after that, the sword wrapped in black steel, blazing like a blazing flame, slowly headed towards the sky..
“—Kneel before me and then do it.”
The river, which rose to a height of ten meters as if piercing the sky, was struck vertically..
Kwaaaaang—!
The ground shakes loudly as if there was an earthquake and splits with a roar..
It was the signal for a full-scale war in which both sides clashed with all their might..
***
Kugugoogung Palace—
daily report).
The atmosphere of the area was oppressed, and those who opposed knelt and bowed their heads..
Wow—!
One sword).
Those blocking the front parted along with the space, and fishy blood sprayed out..
Kwaaang!
One hand).
The one-eyed old man barely responded and jumped back with a groan..
A number of Heavenly Gangshi, including the Blood Demon Gangshi, rushed in after them, but that was all they could barely maintain..
Rather, the vacuum created by their departure repeatedly resulted in other battlefields being pushed back helplessly..
All of this was a change that occurred when a new Jiangshi took on the guise of the Heavenly Demon and entered the war..
‘This is bad.’
At that scene, Ya Yuhwan frowned and shook his head..
Cheonma was an extremely powerful expert who was recognized by everyone as the best in the world..
Such a person appeared without any decrease in capabilities... no, perhaps with even stronger killing power, so in a way, this situation can be seen as having been predicted in advance..
“Hehehe— I guess you still have some free time? Before this body, I thought about everything else..”
Of course, now was not the time to be so indifferent..
Death in human form was just around the corner..
“Hehehe, it’s not like I can afford it. I'm just wondering how to overcome the current situation. But... I can't see any answer..”
“This body is generous. And I really like talented people who understand their topics well. If you lie flat on your face even now, there's nothing I can't take care of.?”
“oh! That's a tempting offer, though.···.”
A conversation between two people in a strangely peaceful situation, as if one step away from the chaotic battlefield around them..
But their situation was not as peaceful as it seemed..
pajijic— pajik—!
Sparks continued to fly from the border of space, as if fighting the encroaching energy of death everywhere..
However, the boundary was noticeably being pushed forward, and if it continued like this, it was obvious that it would not last long and would be consumed by death..
“Still, that seems difficult. I guess because of how I was born, I don't think I can tolerate others being on top of me..”
At that time, Ya Yul-hwan's yellow eyes, who were laughing empty-handedly, became strangely shiny..
That was by no means the look in the eyes of someone who had accepted the outcome..
“Ho? Aside from that, it seems like he has been serving the Heavenly Demon for quite a long time.?”
“Ah—is that what you mean? Well, there's nothing I can't do..”
The energy in the old man's body began to stir..
Enormous energy that slowly swells, as if throwing off the constraints that bound the body..
“Under the protection of that ‘alien godhead,’ he was the only being in this world who could obscure my existence. I was able to easily accumulate karma just by being by his side. And above all···”
As he continued speaking, there was no trace of his previous immortal appearance..
In addition, the energy is expanding far beyond the level already assumed..
“It is an emergency food that will be the best food in times of emergency, but shouldn’t we make some effort to provide better quality food??”
A twisted madness of greed and appetite flashed across his face as he spoke with a grinning smile..
Hans' eyes narrowed at that..
Cheonma, the final boss of this Ganghwa world, had already been dealt with a long time ago..
That's what I was thinking···.
‘The guy I thought was a mid-boss turned out to be a hidden boss.?’
Hans' head began to spin..
Beoncheonhoeju, who pulled out the dragon spirit, and the Heavenly Demon, who tried to devour this world as an apostle from settlers..
Their intentions were clear.
It must have been his intention to colonize this world and further elevate his status as a god..
‘···But who would have guessed that there was someone who had been preparing to hit them in the back a long time ago?.’
As a soldier of the Heavenly Demon Church for decades, he oversaw all the activities of the Church and was an unidentified monster who stood right next to the Heavenly Demon and assisted him in his growth..
How big of a scale was the sketch you were drawing??
He doesn't care about destroying the world he lives in, and sincerely helps the Heavenly Demon overcome the wall..
“Of course, they hit first, so my long-held plan went awry..”
“Phew—I'm so sorry about that..”
“That's not enough, he followed me here and is interfering with my work... There's no way I can follow him.?”
“Hmm, so what do you want to say? I have no intention of giving in, so I will fight until the end.?”
“Hehehe, well, you could see it that way..”
Ya Yul-Hwan's calm answer slowly distorted and collapsed..
But in the meantime, Ip Man continued to speak without stopping until the end..
“Now that things have come to this, I can no longer choose any means..”
Eventually, the body completely lost its human form and began to expand rapidly..
It quickly surpassed a dozen meters and began to soar even higher..
Quad deuk—
Hans stepped back slightly and looked at the figure with narrowed eyes..
‘···The attack doesn't work..’
As is my habit of not being able to leave my opponent alone whenever he transforms, I tried to attack him with the magical power of death, but this time, as if some strange logic was at work, the attack didn't work properly..
They say the main god of this world is a dragon god, and it seems like there are some world laws related to that..
[There is no need to go to great lengths to hide your identity in a situation like this..]
But that was only a fleeting moment..
The being that had completed its transformation in the blink of an eye looked down from above..
A long body covered in scales, beaky eyes, sharp teeth, and horns that rise upward..
It had the shape of a dragon, just as Hans had guessed..
However, if he didn't expect it,···.
“···Was it Hydra? No, I should say six-headed dragon..”
The point was that the number of heads wriggling around was not one..
It wasn't just six heads either..
Red, blue, white, black, yellow—and even the green head in the center..
Each of the six heads was even biting its own Yeouiju..
‘It is said that a dragon can only have one Yeouiju.···.’
Around the time Hans frowned at the discrepancy in the information he received through Horus..
The fierce battle was suddenly halted by the sudden appearance of a huge monster dragon in the middle of the battlefield..
[There's nothing I can do when it's like this. No, it actually went well. Right now, I will eat you up and take away the secret arts of this other world! If I gain that strength, I won't have to worry anymore.!]
Crying—!
The atmosphere shakes violently with the storm that rages at the roar of the six-headed dragon..
It was the moment when Kang Hwan-gye’s true hidden boss appeared..
