Chapter 166
—————————————
[Heavenly Demon Cult]
‘…Remember from the middle It’s not getting better.’
The current head of the Heavenly Demon Cult, Cheon Muhan, returned to the Heavenly Demon Cult and tried to piece together the pieces of his occasionally disconnected memories.
It was a day when, as usual, we were busy preparing for war. After a meeting with the elders, he went into the training center as usual and practiced the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong.
The moment he finished his fortune telling and was about to get up, Simma spoke to him in his heart.
-Do you want power?
Excited.
My heart began to beat rapidly and my body began to heat up. My vision became blurry and I felt dazed, as if I had burned hallucinogens.
-Do you want more power?
-Do you want the power to conquer the martial arts?
-Do you want the power to slaughter the hypocrites of your political faction?
“Shut up!”
But Simma continued talking. My body became uncontrollably hot and my mouth started to become dry.
“Ugh….”
I wanted to drink fresh blood. The desire to chew and swallow the hot intestines and crush and destroy everything was as strong as lust.
Chen Wuhan suppressed Sim Ma with superhuman patience.
“Not yet… not yet…”
I thought I could hold out for a few more years. However, after absorbing the demonic energy of his grandfather, Cheonmugeuk, his demonic spirit became worse.
Simma’s voice did not leave my ear and continued to whisper.
-Do you want to remain as a great conqueror in history?
-Do you want to go beyond being the best person in the world and be recorded as the best person of all time?
-Do you want to rule over everyone as the ruler of the martial arts world? “
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu …
Simma gradually eroded his reason.
My body became hot like a fireball. It was so painful that if there was a lake, I would want to jump in right away.
“Krrr…!”
“My lord. Are you okay?”
One of the water guards, who sensed something was wrong with the religious leader, appeared next to him like a shadow. At that moment, the Heavenly Demon Sect leader stretched out his hand and grabbed the guard’s neck.
And broke it at once.
Crack!
The moment he saw the helpless eyes of the guard, Chun Muhan realized that he could not hold back any longer.
“It’s the order of the leader! “Don’t let anyone follow you!”
After saying just those words, Cheon Muhan launched a light attack with all his might and ran towards the Cheonghae branch of the Murim Alliance. No one could follow him.
“Krrr…!”
-And for a while, I had no memory.
At first glance, scenes of killing, destroying, and tearing someone to pieces came to mind, but it was unfamiliar, as if it was not something I had done.
‘It’s like I was dreaming. A dream I can’t remember…’
It was while fighting Daein that Cheon Muhan came to his senses again.
“…Landlord.”
A brat who uses the nickname Pacheongeomje. However, his skills were worthy of a star rating.
As he returned to the Heavenly Demon Church, the Heavenly Demon Church leader thought about his landlord.
‘He wasn’t an ordinary guy.’
From what I heard, he is just old enough to reach the age of maturity.
Throughout the history of martial arts, has there ever been a genius who had that level of martial arts skills at that age?
‘There was none.’
Suddenly, the wound inflicted by the bastard seemed to sting more. The Heavenly Demon Cult muttered in a somber voice.
“Should I have killed him after all?”
However, if he had overexerted himself in that situation, he would have been in danger. Even now, the injury of the Heavenly Demon Cultist was quite serious.
The leader glanced back and muttered.
“Pacheongeomje. The next day we meet will be the day your luck runs out.”
***
“Master!”
The warriors of the Heavenly Demon Church, who discovered the returned sect leader, approached in surprise.
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Cheon Muhan passed by them and headed to Gyojujeon. Everyone who met him screamed in shock or asked if he was okay.
“Master! Those wounds…”
“Were you attacked by the enemy?”
“I’ll call a doctor!”
‘It’s noisy.’
The Heavenly Demon Cult leader, who was thinking about cutting off a few people’s heads to silence everyone, was shocked to learn that he had even thought of such a thing.
These were not warriors of the Murim Alliance, but believers of the Heavenly Demon Church.
“What am I thinking…”
That was then. From the other side, the Great Elder launched a light attack and flew in.
“Cult leader! Where have you been without even saying a word…! “Bring a doctor right now!”
The great elder confirmed the sect leader’s injury. He hurriedly ordered a doctor to be brought in and then walked over to help the religious leader.
The religious leader stopped the elder with a cold gaze.
“It’s no big deal, so there’s no need to help.”
“It’s been over 100 years since I ate Kalbap. “You can tell at a glance whether the injury is serious or not.”
“I don’t take care of my body the best, so put it away.”
The religious leader shook off the elder’s hand and headed to Gyojujeon alone. The Great Elder looked at the back with a pensive expression.
“No way…”
After a while, the elders and heads of each organization gathered to hear the news that the religious leader who had suddenly disappeared had returned.
The Heavenly Demon Cult looked around at them and spoke briefly.
“There will be a meeting after one o’clock, so everyone please attend. “I’m going to the training center, so let’s just let the doctor in.”
However, even the congressman who followed the cult leader was almost kicked out after only applying Geumchang medicine to the cult leader’s body.
The leader, who was left alone in the training center, sat cross-legged. He immediately began to chant the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.
“Seup-huu….”
The inner energy flowing out of the Danjeon flowed like a roar through the eight vital energy channels according to the combination of the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong.
That was all the normal mind techniques did, but the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong used demonic energy separately within the body.
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Cheonma Shingong was the best magic and magic technique in the world.
Martial arts created 500 years ago by the first founder, who took root in this land, after exploring the martial arts world.
Cheonma Shingong was different from any other martial arts in the martial arts world.
‘I’ve heard it from my father so many times. Our roots remain in the Heavenly Demon God.’
According to the scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Church, they originally lived in paradise, but were kicked out to this earth after committing a sin.
The leader’s father said this.
‘So, if we wait hard and believe in Mazda, one day the savior will appear and lead us back to paradise.’
When I was young, Cheon Muhan also believed those words completely.
But not now. No, it doesn’t matter anymore.
‘I will not wait for a savior who may come without knowing when. I will make this world a paradise for the Heavenly Demon Church!’
I was tired of living trapped in a corner and barren land.
The political factions persecuted and despised them because they believed differently and because they looked a little different.
Pop!
My teeth suddenly ground apart. Depending on the emotional state of the religious leader, the internal power and magical energy fluctuated wildly.
Then Simma spoke again.
-Do you want power?
“…okay. want.”
The sect leader answered Simma for the first time. Unpurified magical energy began to flow out of his body and cover his body.
Slurp.
Surprisingly, the injured wound began to heal on its own.
-Do you want the power to destroy your enemies and rule the world?
“Yes. want.”
-Then accept me.
Sssssssut!
Demonic energy grew, covering the cult leader’s body. It soon turned into an egg, wrapped around the sect, and floated into the air.
-Accept me. I am you.
“Huh…”
Sima’s whisper made the cult leader faint.
I lost my mind. I felt like if I left everything to Simma like this, I could sleep peacefully in my mother’s arms.
However, the Heavenly Demon Cult withstood that sweet temptation.
“There is no need… yet.”
Quack! The leader bit his tongue. I came to my senses from the bitter pain.
Slurp.
The demonic energy surrounding his body dissipated and his body came down to the ground.
“Whew…”
the leader said, wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
“Get out of my head.”
-…Someday you will find me first.
And Simma’s voice disappeared.
“Whew…”
The Heavenly Demon Cult slowly took a deep breath and stood up.
My body felt much lighter.
***
When the leader came out of the training building, the elders who had been waiting outside approached all at once.
“Master. “Are you feeling okay?”
“What on earth happened in there!”
A little while ago, the elders sensed the formidable demonic energy inside the training hall and all came here to wait for the sect leader.
To the elders who had doubts, the religious leader spoke briefly.
“There was a small achievement in martial arts.”
Even the elders who were usually at odds with the religious leader were pleased to hear that he had achieved a new achievement.
“Oh oh! Congratulations!”
“Congratulations! “Such a happy ending ahead of war!”
“Mazda must be looking down on us!”
However, Elder Roman, who was the only one standing behind the elders, had a hard expression on his face.
‘At first glance, it appears that the cult leader has recovered his firearm, but…’
The elder could feel it. Behind the seemingly calm face of the religious leader, a huge and ferocious beast lurks.
The leader now looked like a glass vessel about to break.
Even with the slightest stimulation, the monster inside will come out at any time.
‘…Or maybe it’s already half sticking out.’
The sect leader, who made eye contact with the elder, smiled bitterly. He said to the elders:
“Expedite your expedition.”
“Yes?”
Most of the elders frowned at those words. Elder Oh, who has an impatient personality, spoke for everyone’s feelings.
“Master. “Haven’t you already decided to go on a expedition in three days?”
The other elders also nodded at Elder Oh’s words.
Three days later, a large force of 20,000 Cheonma Gods was planned to move south. All schedules were planned accordingly, and now the entire Heavenly Demon Church was in the midst of final preparations.
The leader was suddenly saying that he would advance the schedule that had been set.
“Things have changed. “Get ready to go out as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
Even tomorrow?
Elder Oh shook his head with a stern expression.
“Master. “That is unacceptable.”
“…Can not be done? “I, the leader of the Church of the Heavenly Demon, am saying no?”
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, but Elder Oh did not give up his will.
There was some calculation involved here.
‘Unbelievably, the leader of the cult will not be able to do anything to me, an elder, ahead of the war.’
Elder Oh spoke confidently.
“Even now, Protestants are overdoing things. Also, the warriors trained for a long time today and need rest. “I understand the leader’s impatience, but…”
The leader cut him off.
“I don’t need elders who fight with their mouths.”
“What? “No matter how much you are a religious leader, you are going too far with your words…!”
Eat.
The moment a sly smile appeared on the head’s lips, Elder Oh felt something was wrong.
However, Elder Oh was not given time to correct it.
“…uh?”
-Bubububububbung!
Elder Wu’s body exploded. The shattered pieces of meat flew everywhere, and the elders around them were covered in blood.
“What is this….”
“Cult leader!”
“What are you doing!”
At that moment, demonic energy spread out from the cult leader’s body as if huge wings were unfolding, entangling the bodies of the elders.
“Whoops…!”
“omg…!”
Among the elders of the Heavenly Demon Church, there is no one who is weak in martial arts. Each and every one of them would be called Daemadu when they went to the martial arts world.
However, in front of the religious leader’s momentum, the elders were like frogs in front of a snake, unable to move.
“If anyone wants to die, open your mouth.”
“…….”
The elders just broke into a cold sweat. I just recently witnessed vividly what would happen if I used my mouth incorrectly.
The cult leader growled and said.
“From now on, you just have to do as I tell you. If you want to fight, you will fight. If you want to die, you will die. If you want to lie down and lick your feet, you will have to lick them. Do you understand?”
-Kugugugugugugung!
The dense magical energy weighed down the space. The elders felt their backs bending automatically. A malevolent sound flashed in the leader’s eyes.
“I asked if you understood!!”
The moment the elders could not hold out any longer and were about to kneel down in unison,
they said, “Stop, leader. “You are the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, not our master.”
The great elder behind him stepped forward, blocking the cult leader.
As if he had expected it, a faint smile appeared on the head’s lips.
“Elder. “You are a loyal subject who has protected the religion since my goddamn grandfather’s generation.”
“…….”
“Do you think I can’t kill you just because I’m you?”
The moment he met the leader’s murderous eyes, he felt devastated.
‘Perhaps the Church of the Heavenly Demon will be destroyed in my generation.’
I couldn’t leave it like that. Even if there was little chance of stopping it, the Great Elder planned to do his best to stop it.
“Cult leader. The cult leader’s actions now are wrong. Killing an elder for going against orders. “It’s something people from political factions say when they call us a demonic cult and spread nonsense.”
The Heavenly Demon Cult chuckled. His reason was gradually being eroded by his mind again.
“So you were planning to kick me out and put that old man back in the position of leader? Because it doesn’t suit your taste?”
“I have never thought of that!”
“Tsk tsk. “I guess so.”
The religious leader increased his power.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
As the demonic energy swirled around the religious leader, the elders were unable to withstand and were pushed out.
“I don’t want to talk to the traitor anymore. “I will kill you right here.”
To counter him, Daejangro also increased his power.
“This old man’s life is quite tough.”
Kiiing!
The Grand Elder’s eyes turned green and his long guns were flapping like crazy.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
The combined efforts of the two absolute masters collided in the middle.
As time passed, the Grand Elder’s face became whiter, while the Heavenly Demon Cult’s expression was relaxed.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?”
The leader’s eyes were shining with murder.
“I will kill you today and use you as an example.”
It was the moment when the Heavenly Demon Cult leader was about to attack the Grand Elder.
“No way!”
A red-haired girl flew through the air with a sharp voice and landed right between the two.
Lily opened both palms one by one towards the elder and the religious leader.
“No fighting from now on!”
“…….”
“…….”
It may have looked like a child throwing a tantrum, but the girl’s influence was by no means that much.
Mazda incarnate.
Lily was the incarnation of God believed in by the Heavenly Demon Church. All the believers in the school worshiped her.
“Mazdashi….”
Boom!
The Grand Elder knelt down first. Lily blocked the Elder’s path as if protecting him and glared at the Heavenly Demon Cult leader.
The leader muttered with a puzzled expression.
“…were you able to speak?”
Lily put her hands on her hips and glared at the leader. And he spoke in martial arts, which is still very awkward.
“mister. I am god. “If you fuss, you’ll get scolded.”
At the same time, numerous fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Grumble! Grumble! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Red. yellow. White. Even blue.
A feast of fireworks of all colors that fill the sky.
It was truly a magical spectacle and one that left me in awe.
Even the death flickering in the cult leader’s eyes disappeared for a moment.
“Mazda…”
The leader looked down at the girl with indifferent eyes. The Great Elder watched the scene with anxious eyes.
‘If the cult leader attacks the incarnation of Mazda…’
At that time, it can only be said that he is truly crazy.
In that case, the elder was planning to fly away and save Lily.
At that time, the religious leader slowly opened his mouth.
“…All right.”
The leader obediently turned around, wondering what had made him sink. And then he headed to his residence.
Before heading to the residence, the religious leader gave orders to the elders.
“We will go to war in three days. “Make sure the elders are fully prepared by then. And…”
The religious leader continued speaking with difficulty, suppressing the rising murderous spirit and emotions that were threatening to engulf his reason.
“Until then, all entry into my residence is prohibited.”
thud!
The door closed and the figure of the Heavenly Demon Cult disappeared.
***
[Three days….]
The great man was lost in thought after hearing the whole story from Lily.
After a while, the great man spoke.
[Well, I’ll do whatever I can.]
[Heavenly Demon Cult] End
