Meeting the Cheonma was shocking.

The shock of seeing Cheonma in real life was shocking, but after meeting Cheonma, all that remained in my mind was Cheonma’s meaningful attitude and the fact that Cheonma and an unknown elder had met before.

No, wasn’t the elder just in the camp?

The answer was delivered by the black cat in a telephonic tone.

-On the last day, an unknown elderly person left the camp. At that time, I thought he was just trying to disappear from our sight or was searching for enemies outside… but I guess he went to meet the Heavenly Demon.

Little by little, I began to understand the situation through the sound of the black cat.

Jeongcheol released information to the Demonic Cult to keep the unknown elder in check through the Demonic Cult, and it was highly likely that Cheonma, who received Jeongcheol’s information, personally came to confirm the strength of the unknown elder.

And in the process, Cheonma and the unknown elder made some kind of negotiation.

Perhaps the unknown elder asked Cheonma not to come between me and Jeongcheol, and Cheonma seems to have accepted that request.

I don’t know the details, but one thing was certain.

The point was that the promise shared between Cheonma and the unknown elder had a time limit.

Otherwise, there would have been no need to say that I would call you again later.

“Did you trick me?”

After meeting with Cheonma, I immediately questioned Wi Seo-ryeon.

After guessing Jeong Cheol’s actions and knowing the deal between the unknown elder and Cheonma, it was not difficult to guess how Wei Seo-ryeon came to visit me.

Unknown What did the old man and Cheonma do together?

The group called Cheonma is itching to have a fight whenever they see a useful warrior.

Wi Seo-ryeon also came to see me and applied for the job of secret secretary. Was it different from Cheonma?

Of course there was a fight.

And Wi Seo-ryeon found out that the unknown elder and the Heavenly Demon had become attached.

I don’t know how I came across the information, but I was certain that while researching information about an unknown elderly person, their eyes fell on me.

“First of all, I have to apologize to you.”

Wei Seo-ryeon neatly bowed her head to me.

“As you have seen, Father is strictly keeping his promise to your father. Even from his wife, he kept quiet about what happened. Therefore, the main woman had no choice but to act on matters related to it based on speculation.”

“So, I decided that my dealings with Jeongcheol were completely over, so I invited you to this demonic religion as my guest. However, looking at your father’s attitude today, it wasn’t like that. I unintentionally caused you trouble.”

“…It’s okay.”

It was true that I was surprised by the unexpected situation, but in fact, I could say that Cheonma took my side to a small extent.

Because it gave us a clue to guess what would happen in the end.

If I had intended to remain completely neutral between Jeongcheol and me, I wouldn’t have even hinted at this.

Still, did he take my daughter’s side at least a little because she was a guest?

“Now that the situation is like this, let’s start training right away. I don’t know how long the deadline my father said will last or what will happen when it expires, but wouldn’t it be better to prepare as soon as possible? ”

“…good.”

“Follow me to the training ground.”

Ho Cheon-an and Wi Seo-ryeon face each other in the training hall.

The black cat was looking at the two people from a distance.

Wei Seolian had no intention of allowing the black cat to visit, but he had no choice but to nod when Ho Cheonan mentioned what happened today.

The black cat silently focused and looked at the two people.

This is a position that Ho Cheon-an created through coercion.

It was an opportunity to learn Socheonma’s martial arts, so I couldn’t let it go to waste.

“What do you think is the demon that the Heavenly Demon Church pursues? What do you think is the difference between the magic arts of the Heavenly Demon Church and the martial arts of the martial arts?”

Ho Cheon-an, who knew the knowledge of the Heavenly Demon Church through the game, had a rough idea of what magic was.

However, rather than show off such knowledge, Ho Cheon-an spoke his honest thoughts.

“Difference in practicality? Or is there a difference in attitude toward martial arts?”

“Not a bad answer, but not the point.”

Socheonma defined the horse pursued by the Cheonma Shinyo religion in one word.

“It adds the essence of hemp.”

“Um.”

Add it.

Heukmyo could not understand Wei Seo-ryeon’s ambiguous answer.

Hocheonan also had a vague knowledge of it, but did not fully understand it, so Socheonma’s explanation continued.

“Do you think that high-ranking martial artists usually learn some martial arts?”

“I won’t learn many things. I heard that the Demonic Cult freely teaches martial arts.”

“Yes.”

Black Cat thought while listening to the conversation between the two people.

Is that what adding means? Certainly, if you learn many martial arts, you will be able to respond to various situations.

However, Wei Seo-ryeon’s next words went far beyond Heukmyo’s imagination.

“Shall we give an example from your level? Even if the warriors of the Demonic Cult do not reach the pinnacle of martial arts, they learn more than a hundred martial arts. The same goes for me. I learned hundreds of martial arts before I learned the Heavenly Demon God.”

Wei Seo-ryeon picked up the sword prepared in one corner of the training hall.

“What about martial arts of the right faction? People follow the form of martial arts and the meaning contained in martial arts. Most of the teachings of the founders are proven to be correct and we align ourselves with what has been proven.”

Wei Seo-ryeon began to dance the sword dance.

Heukmyo saw Wei Seo-ryeon’s sword dance and thought.

Can this really be called martial arts?

No matter how variable a sword technique is, it is bound to change under a few core techniques.

However, the swordsmanship shown by Wei Seo-ryeon now had different techniques for each movement.

Usually, things like rising martial arts are compared to things like rivers, mountains, wind, and the sea.

This was because the purpose of ascending martial arts was to realize the principles of martial arts that were comparable to those of nature.

descendants. Taegeuk. Plum blossom. Buddha. Lightning. shadow.

Although the object is different, the principles of martial arts that are intended to be realized are reflected in the martial arts.

That was the common sense that the black cat had until now.

However, Heukmyo could not sense such a series of problems in Wei Seo-ryeon’s sword dance at all.

Black Cat felt that his common sense was completely shaken.

This was because Wi Seo-ryeon’s sword dance, which did not even seem to be a part of the principles of martial arts, was extremely threatening.

Fierce swordsmanship that doesn’t seem to be easy even to parry a light move.

“This sword is the sword of the Hwanhontalmado.”

“This movement is a collaboration between Yeongseon Yeonhwanbo and Miricheon Yeonggeom.”

“The three swords that will be used in the future are created based on the movements of Yeongseonjincheongeom, Ahaengsinbeop, and Euljiyoungkwon.”

Even though no martial law guided Wi Seo-ryeon’s swordsmanship, the sword that Wi Seo-ryeon wielded was completed with more fierce power than anything else.

“The warriors of the Demonic Cult learn, practice, and master new martial arts every day, select the necessary parts, and either make them their own or throw them away and mix them.”

Demon means addition.

Heukmyo realized the meaning of addition that Wei Seo-ryeon was talking about.

Add to I.

Instead of aiming for anything else, I pursue myself by absorbing the parts of martial arts that I deem necessary.

Heukmyo realized why Wei Seo-ryeon’s swordsmanship was so fierce and yet he did not feel any sense of martial arts.

Since he has revealed himself, what logic can he see behind it?

It was natural that all that was visible was a false sense of humor.

“Instead of waiting for the enlightenment of the martial arts that will come someday, I grow myself and resolutely move forward one step at a time.”

Even if there is no way, even if you can’t find the way.

Even if it is not the way.

No, even if you are far from the road.

Nevertheless, I grow and walk forward.

“Someone could look at me and say this. This is the wrong way. What you are walking is not a path, and it is not a path you should pursue. If you wander like that, you will only become a devil.”

Steps are not necessarily forward. Sometimes, you may lose your direction and end up heading to a place that no one knows. It doesn’t matter if the road is smooth, but what lies in front of you as you move forward may be a pit of fire or a cliff.

Perhaps, as a result of walking and walking until we die, we may regress instead of progress.

The risk is real.

However, even though he is aware of the risk, he takes steps.

“Then I will answer like this. Even if the steps I am taking now are the path to becoming the devil, I will follow these steps and reach heaven.”

As Hu Cheon-an and Heuk-myo listened to Wei Seo-ryeon’s words, a word came to mind.

Heavenly Demon.

“You must have walked the path of martial arts.”

Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon pointed his sword at Hocheon-an and said.

“From now on, I will teach you how to raise yourself.”
