​

Phew~

​

“Khahahaha! I found it!”

​

“… … !”

​

With the sound of laughter ringing through the air, a giant fell through the flames that filled the space where the ceiling was.

​

Cooung!

​

The giant landed on the ground with a heavy sound, and his entire body was covered in demonic energy.

​

Thanks to the swirling black fog-like magic energy, I was able to break through the curtain of fire I had created with my supernatural ability.

​

The members of the Cheonpung Sword Team who saw that scene were agitated.

​

“ Self-defense skills… ! At least he is a magician who has reached the pinnacle of perfection… !”

​

Ssss…

​

Having achieved his goal of passing through the curtain of fire, the gunman slowly dissipated the self-defense energy surrounding his body.

​

Then, the black demonic energy that had been blocking my vision disappeared, and I was able to see the giant’s appearance.

​

His tall height and limbs filled with thick muscles were evident from the time he was wearing Magi. The uniform top he was wearing was sleeveless, revealing a rough cross section, as if it had been torn off by the shoulders, and the bottoms were fluttering as if the calf area had been ripped open. As if he wasn’t wearing any shoes at all, his feet were bare and dug into the floor due to the shock of landing.

​

And the skin visible through the gaps in the clothes was full of lumpy scars.

​

He was dressed like that, with his hair scattered and his beard growing wild. He was a man whose appearance made me wonder what he would look like if a human became a beast.

​

‘If it’s the peak… ‘Is that person the demon called Jeongseogeuk?’

​

I recalled the information I heard from Gwa Cheol-ho.

​

Jeong Se-geuk, who finally removed all his self-defense skills, burst into laughter.

​

“Khahahaha! bedding… There are clearly traces of a righteous sect who has learned the dirty Yeolyang Qigong that led Touma into a trap!”

​

“… … Huh?”

​

‘Who traps whom?’

​

At that moment, Jeong Se-geuk made a ridiculous sound and I ended up making a dumb sound without realizing it.

​

At that time, it was not Tuma who fell into the trap, but our Namgungse group. It was also the work of bandits from Sapa who had nothing to do with Tuma.

​

The acid poison that Tuma drank was something he drank himself because he was crazy about fighting, and was not tricked by someone into drinking it.

​

I scratched my cheek with my index finger and spoke in an awkward voice.

​

“That… I think there’s some misunderstanding, but I haven’t really set a trap for Tuma.”

​

Swish!

​

Then Jeong Se-geuk heard those words and turned his head so quickly that you could hear the wind and looked at me.

​

His eyes were burning, as if he could kill someone with just his eyes.

​

But then he took a quick look at my appearance and snorted. It seemed like he looked down on me because my appearance was smaller than expected.

​

“Ahaha! I guess you just believed the tricks of the dirty political faction bastards!”

​

“No, even if you say that… The one who cut off Tuma’s head was… ”

​

“There is no need to have a long conversation with a blood-crazed demon, Sohyeop.”

​

Nangungpai, with the Cheonpung Sword Team members behind him, took a step forward and interrupted me. Thanks to this, I had to keep my mouth shut when I was about to say, ‘I am the one who cut off Jeon Mun-ju’s head.’

​

Jeong Se-geuk, who found Namgung-pae stepping forward, showed his teeth and smiled fiercely.

​

“So, I guess you are the leader of this flock… ”

​

“This is the great leader Namgung of the Cheonpung Sword Squad. Are you the devil called Jeong Se-geuk?”

​

“Yes! I am Jeong Se-geuk, the owner of Suramun!”

​

Jeong Se-geuk, who confidently revealed his identity, looked at Namgung-pae and gritted his teeth.

​

“Namgung’s warrior, but he has reached the highest level here! You must be the master of Yeolyangjigong who killed Tumanim and unleashed the flames just a moment ago!”

​

Jeong Se-geuk seemed to misunderstand that Nam Gung-pae, who had the highest level of martial arts here, was the culprit who killed Tuma.

​

It is said that once you reach a certain level of mastery, you gain the sense to gauge the level of subordinates and martial artists, so it was not surprising that Jeong Se-geuk noticed that Namgungpae’s level was the highest among the group.

​

The problem is that it was I, not the Nangungpai, who killed Tuma, and my martial arts level at the time I killed Tuma was only first-class.

​

I opened my mouth to correct his misunderstanding.

​

“No, that’s all… … .”

​

“Shut up! I will especially kill you last! ”

​

Quick…

​

As Jeong Se-geuk started talking about such nonsense as if he was being patronizing, I instantly felt like a vein was standing in my head.

​

I wanted to challenge the opponent a little with martial arts if possible, but I had the urge to just barbecue him on the spot.

​

Did you see me wriggling my fingers?

​

Namgung-pae spoke to me without taking his eyes off Jeong Se-geuk.

​

“So Hyeop, Jeong Se-geuk did not come here alone.”

​

“… … !”

​

“We never know when more warriors from Suramun will attack. Focus on protecting Sojeo.”

​

I looked back at Namgung Hwaran hiding behind me.

​

Because she was small, she wasn’t properly covered, but she was still holding on to the hem of my clothes.

​

‘… … okay. First of all, we have to protect the Namgung Hwari orchids and clean up the little ones first. If you fight with Jeong Se-geuk, you might not have time to pay attention to your surroundings.’

​

“… I understand.”

​

After briefly nodding, I retreated little by little from the political situation and approached the place where Namgoongmu and other leaders were surrounding Main, whose wrists were cut off.

​

As they watched us approach, they soon cut off the head of the subdued Mine.

​

Suddenly!

​

Tuk.

​

As the sign of Mine’s head falling to the floor, chaos unfolded inside Yeonhwagak.

​

“Thunderbolt inspection (天雷劍陣) opened!”

“Opening!”

​

Cheaeng!

​

Members of the Cheonpung Sword Team of the Namgung family conducted a medical examination centered on the Namgung family.

​

“Howangdae, listen!! The hunt has begun!!!”

​

Ujikkeun! Quang!

​

“It looks like they knew we were coming and came to welcome us!”

“Khehehe! hunt! It’s hunting!”

“Follow Lord Moon!”

“The blood of those from the political faction is too oily! Hahaha!”

​

And the demons of Suramun, who heard Jeong Se-geuk’s cry, broke the wall of Yeonhwagak and rushed inside.

​

‘Now that we have carried out the examination, we will be able to put an end to the political drama, even if only for a short time.’

​

While thinking that, I took my eyes off Namgung-pae and Jeong Se-geuk and slowly looked at the demons surrounding me.

​

Because of the flames on the ceiling that had not yet been extinguished, the shadows of the demons swayed here and there, staining the walls black.

​

“Khehehe… They are very delicate prey.”

“Perhaps because they grow so finely, they are much easier to tear and crush than those near Xinjiang.”

​

Demons approaching, talking like psychos.

​

Namgoongmu, who was next to me, spoke to me in a low voice.

​

“We will fight and protect small cooperatives and small businesses as our top priority.”

​

“No. I don’t need to worry.”

​

“But… ”

​

Grumbling~

​

Namgoongmu, who was about to say something more, suddenly stopped speaking as he looked at the superpower weapon in my hand and the blade of flame rising from it.

​

“And above all… I want to go wild a little now.”

​

“… I understand.”

​

With those last words, Namgungmu formed a phalanx with the other leaders to protect Namgung Hwaran.

​

I smiled at Namgung Hwaran, who was looking at me with worried eyes, and took a step closer to the approaching demons.

​

If an emergency occurred, it was a distance from which one could return to Namgung Hwaran at any time.

​

“Bull… ? But how could this little guy… ?”

“Are you really the disciple of the guy who killed Touma?”

“I guess so.”

“In that case, I should kill him as cruelly as possible. ”

​

The demons looked at me lightly after seeing my appearance.

​

It was definitely negligible. Their power, at a glance, consisted of more than ten peak experts, and even the weakest level seemed top-notch.

​

For a force of only about twenty people, it was an extremely powerful force. It certainly seemed like he had the skills to annihilate a small village.

​

‘Originally, I tried to fight with only martial arts as much as possible… ‘

​

I glanced at the direction where Namgoongpae and Jeong Segeuk were fighting.

​

Kaaang! bang!

​

“Khahaha! Why do you do that? Go ahead and start the fire! This is barely enough to kill me!”

​

“Ugh… !”

​

Against the fierce political power, the examination centered on Namgungpae was somewhat pushed back.

​

‘Clear away the small pieces as quickly as possible and focus only on Jeong Se-geuk.’

​

Grumble! Pow!

​

Suddenly

​

“Uh, uh… !”

​

With tremendous leg strength and the momentum of the flames spewing out from under his feet, he charged at the group of demons and swung his sword.

​

The upper body of the three demons in the path was split apart by that blow, which did not use any special sword techniques, and they fell to the floor.

​

“What is this!”

“At some point… !”

“Catch that guy quickly!”

​

Only then did the demons wrap their demonic energy around their limbs and rushed towards me.

​

“Phew… ”

​

I exhaled lightly and when the surrounding area was filled with demons, I shook off the flames I had gathered and used my sword technique.

​

Heavenly Wind Sword Technique

Fire Dragon Seungpung

​

Kwaaah!

​

“Aaaah!”

“Quaaa!”

“Fire! fire! Turn it off quickly!”

​

A fire dragon sticking out from the sword twisted and unwound its coils roughly and soared into the sky.

​

The demons that were close to me and were hit directly with the sword turned to ashes and disappeared, while the demons that were a little far away rolled around on the floor to put out the fire on their bodies.

​

However, the fire created by this ability never went out until I took it away.

​

Considering that Jeong Se-geuk broke through the curtain of fire with his self-defense skills, he could have extinguished the fire using his internal energy, but the demons whose bodies were on fire right now were not in a state to think about such things.

​

I continued to swing my sword to deal with the demons.

​

Jeong Se-geuk, who had been repeatedly tapping Namgungpae’s sword, turned to me when he felt the heat behind his back.

​

“… … !”

​

He looked very shocked when he saw me swinging a flaming sword and slaughtering his men.

​

‘Well, it’s surprising to see him slaughter his subordinates in droves just at the beginning of the climax.’

​

As time passed slowly due to the high-speed accident, I spoke with my mouth towards Jeong Se-geuk, who made eye contact with me.

​

-Suramun is also fine. Ask Tuma, who went first, to come pick you up.

​

“Kaaa!!!”

​
