Chapter Index

    Wei Seolyeon looked at Ho Cheonan, who had fainted, with bewildered eyes for a moment.

    Wei Seo-ryeon, who was watching the black cat shaking its head while holding its face, realized that the black cat was also feeling absurd in the current situation.

    “Did you know that Ho Cheon-an was learning this kind of martial arts?”

    “No. Still, he looks like a senior.”

    “…Like Hocheonan?”

    Black Cat turned over the fallen body of Ho Cheon-an.

    “Kooo…”

    Hocheonan is sleeping soundly with his mouth open, not even aware of the dust entering his body. The black cat let out a sigh at that carefree face and pushed Hocheonan’s chin up to close it, then lifted him up by the collar and carried him on his shoulder.

    “Seniors are people who move forward without hesitation as long as there is space to move forward, no matter how precarious the situation is.”

    Wei Seo-ryeon’s words touched his heart.

    Because Ho Cheon-an’s current actions are exactly like that.

    If the ground beneath one’s feet is dangerous, one’s steps will slow down and anxiety and hesitation will arise in one’s mind.

    People who have experienced falling tend to be more conscious of when they fall.

    Hocheonan was like that.

    ‘Last week, my weaknesses were pointed out.’

    In the sparring a week ago, Ho Cheon-an’s weaknesses were persistently exploited and he lost without even being able to use his hands and feet once.

    Therefore, Wei Seo-ryeon predicted that Ho Cheon-an would try to make up for his weaknesses.

    Wei Seo-ryeon looked back at herself at that time.

    Why was I confident that Hocheonan would make up for the weakness?

    Wei Seo-ryeon quickly found the answer.

    ‘Because I was looking down on Ho Cheon-an.’

    The distance between you and me is not something that can be narrowed in a short period of time.

    This was because, regardless of the possibility of Ho Cheon-an, Wei Seo-ryeon was treating Ho Cheon-an with such thoughts.

    With that in mind, I thought that Hocheonan would take a long-term perspective and gradually fill in the gaps.

    Since it was a gap that could not be bridged no matter what we did right now, it was best to admit defeat and plan for the future.

    However, Ho Cheon-an made a different choice.

    If I can’t reach it by taking one step, I will take two or three steps, even if it means throwing myself at it.

    If the power of the condensed cultivation and martial arts is not enough, I will add a sharply forged spirit on top of it.

    ‘It was an extremely reckless act.’

    Even if Hocheonan’s strength rapidly decreased after the first attack, it did not mean that he could not continue the fight.

    It may have been difficult, but if I persevered and persevered, there was a possibility of seeing another opportunity.

    However, Ho Cheon-an completely cut off that possibility and focused everything on one point.

    It was truly an extreme choice that went beyond mutual understanding.

    That’s why I was able to reach Wei Seo-ryeon.

    “Ha…”

    Wei Seo-ryeon smiled without realizing it.

    Black Cat looked at Ho Cheon-an and evaluated him as a person who would not hesitate to move forward if there was a way forward, even if the situation under his feet was precarious.

    “Haha….That’s true.”

    Is the action of making up for weaknesses an action that can increase the odds of winning in a competition against Wei Seo-ryeon?

    Wei Seo-ryeon, who asked herself a question, shook her head.

    The option of making up for weaknesses was an option that would inevitably result in defeat, even if it would allow them to endure a little longer.

    Because Ho Cheon-an already had a record of losing in a head-on confrontation with Wei Seolian.

    No matter how stably I was able to raise Il-lei, the process would only be different, and in the end, I had no choice but to be blocked by the power of Wei Seo-ryeon.

    Therefore, Ho Cheon-an chose the option of strengthening his strengths instead of compensating for his weaknesses.

    Through heightened concentration, sharpness was added to the power of Illoe.

    Wei Seo-ryeon burst out laughing at Ho Cheon-an’s choice.

    Wi Seo-ryeon lured Ho Cheon-an using his strength as bait. Under the pretext of making Hocheonan stronger, he was separated from the group and brought to this demonic cult.

    Therefore, Wei Xulian did not think that Hu Tianan would sincerely try to become his rival.

    An object that is only used to become stronger.

    I was just trying to be satisfied with that position.

    But today, Hu Tian-an rushed to defeat Wei Shu-lian with more sincerity than anyone else.

    After the surprise and embarrassment subsided, Ho Cheon-an’s behavior seemed like that.

    Heukmyo spoke as if Hu Tianan was that kind of person, but to Wei Shulian, such words were not that important.

    What mattered was the result.

    Ho Cheon-an did his best to respond to Wei Seo-ryeon’s request to become his counterpart, and in the process showed results that exceeded expectations.

    Wei Seo-ryeon felt her heart beating violently as she watched Ho Cheon-an being carried like a piece of luggage on the black cat’s back.

    How will Ho Cheon-an hone his martial arts skills in the future?

    What efforts will he make to become his counterpart?

    ‘What kind of pleasure will you give me?’

    The sight of Ho Cheon-an disappearing with his mouth open and his arms fluttering like jellyfish could not be said to be a good sight, even with empty words.

    To Wei Seo-ryeon, Ho Cheon-an’s appearance did not seem too bad.

    “As expected, it would be a shame to just let you go.”

    Wei Seolyeon muttered that and looked at the back of the black cat’s head as it moved its Hucheonan.

    The face of a black cat that was satisfied with having given it a shot automatically came to mind.

    Did they say that if you want to shoot a general, you have to shoot the horse first?

    In order to capture Ho Cheon-an, the first thing to do was to attack the Black Cat, who was part of the group.

    And enough seeds have already been sown.

    The black cat is also unmanned.

    No matter how much he came along to assist Ho Cheon-an, how could he not be greedy for Cheonma Bigo?

    Because of the bet, I got a visitor’s card with Wi Seo-ryeon’s name on it, but no matter how much Wi Seo-ryeon’s name is on it, it’s still a visitor’s pass.

    The Black Cat’s tile alone was not enough to freely enter and exit the upper levels of Cheonma Vigo.

    In the end, this meant that the Black Cat, like any other visitor or collaborator, had to help Demonic Cult to obtain an entrance ticket.

    Wei Seo-ryeon looked at the back of the black cat and was convinced.

    In the process of obtaining admission tickets, the black cat will naturally see and feel the magic and ultimately feel a strong attraction.

    “Why don’t you enjoy the magic life to your heart’s content.”

    Wei Seo-ryeon laughed as she imagined a black cat experiencing demonic religion.

    *** ***

    Heavenly Demon Church Request Center.

    Akhwi, the receptionist at the request center, yawned and stretched.

    “Please submit your card.”

    “Here it is.”

    Akhui looked at the 8th grade tile submitted by the Demon Cultist, half-heartedly looked through the ledger, and then opened his mouth.

    “ I’m a top escort, would you do it? I’ll be accompanying you for about two weeks.”

    “The period is too long…”

    “Otherwise, at best, it’s just carrying luggage or getting herbs.”

    “…Hmm. I will do it.”

    Ak-hwi quenched his appetite as he watched the 8th grade warrior leave with an expression that showed he was not satisfied with the mission.

    “Sseu-eup. If I had chosen the martial arts book well this time, I could have aimed for level 8.”

    The heart of the Demonic Cult, Cheonmabigo.

    What should I do to view military records at Cheonma Bigo?

    The simplest way is to become a demonic warrior and receive training. Depending on your level, you gain entry rights to Cheonma Bigo.

    Akhwi, a military officer belonging to the request office, was a level 9 military officer and had the authority to read even the level 9 martial arts book of Cheonma Bigo.

    So, can a 9th grade martial artist only see 9th grade martial arts books?

    It wasn’t.

    There was a way for even a level 9 martial artist to see level 8 and 7 martial arts.

    It was to collect the martial arts and purchase an admission ticket to see a higher level martial arts book.

    ‘What can I do if I look at the 8th level martial arts book? It’s useless!’

    Akhui leaned back in his chair and let his body go limp.

    Akhwi had no motivation to work at all.

    A few days ago, I invested the money I had saved for about a month to read an 8th level martial arts book, but it was completely useless.

    ‘Yeah, it’s still better than the collaborators over there.’

    Akhui consoled himself while looking at the collaborators in front of the bulletin board who were looking for various requests.

    collaborator.

    A general term for those who are not members of the Church of the Heavenly Demon but work for the Church of the Heavenly Demon.

    ‘A horse is a collaborator or a willing slave.’

    If someone had heard Akhwi’s thoughts, they would have frowned, but they would not have refuted anything.

    ‘I don’t know who the high-ranking people are, but it’s a really good idea.’

    Akhwi thought so as he placed his feet on the footrest.

    Since the Church of the Heavenly Demon was a large organization, there were naturally many things that required the power of warriors.

    Of course, among those things, there are certain things that even unmanned people are reluctant to do.

    Therefore, the commission also gave requests to external collaborators.

    Is there any other system as good as this one, where you can pass on all sorts of bad things to outsiders in return for giving them something other than money?

    ‘If it weren’t for this system, I would have been sweating profusely and climbing mountains to fight off sea creatures and earn a living.’

    Ak-hwi yawned while thinking about that, and suddenly realized that the request center had become quiet and looked around.

    Since everyone’s eyes were fixed on one place, Akhwi’s eyes naturally turned in that direction as well.

    And Ak-Hwi also held his breath, no different from the others.

    There was a beauty who seemed to have just come down from heaven.

    The curves of the body were as smooth as an ideal statue coming to life, and the skin was smooth and shiny like jade.

    The jawline was sharp yet soft, and each small face had beautiful features that could not help but excite exclamations of admiration.

    It’s truly a state of disrepair.

    Even the movement of the hair moving along with the movement of the beautiful woman slowly turning her head was almost fantastic.

    Ak-hwi, who had been staring blankly at the beautiful woman, was startled when he made eye contact with her.

    This was because the beauty approached Ak-Hwi right away.

    The beautiful woman’s Seomseom Oksu touched the desk in front of Ak-hwi. It was a common occurrence to see collaborators standing in front of Ak-Hwi putting their hands on the desk several times a day, but Ak-Hwi thought that the current situation was somehow unrealistic.

    While Ak-hwi was lost in his thoughts, the beautiful woman’s lips moved.

    “I would like to receive a request.”

    “….Ah.”

    request?

    Ak-Hwi was dazed, but when he saw the beautiful woman staring at him, he came to his senses and jumped up.

    There was no need to jump up and greet the client, but Ak-Hwi was hurriedly flipping through the request booklet without even thinking about it before he came to his senses.

    “Pay, I will give you a tile.”

    The beauty nodded and submitted her card.

    It is not a collaborator’s card that can be obtained by paying a certain amount, but a visit card that shows that you have been invited by someone.

    Ak-Hwi felt strangely convinced as he picked up the card with the name Black Cat engraved on it.

    ‘Hagisa, if it were such a beautiful woman, there would be more than one person who would rush to her and offer to guarantee her identity.’

    Although Black Cat and Ak-Hwi had just seen each other for the first time, Ak-Hwi was willing to step forward if Black Cat asked for identification.

    Of course, Akhui, who was only level 9, did not have the authority to guarantee someone’s identity.

    Akhwi turned the card over and confirmed the name of the guarantor.

    Wiseoryeon.

    ‘….?’

    Usually, the name of the guarantor is preceded by the title, rank, or grade of the guarantor.

    ‘Is this a fake ID?’

    Such thoughts passed through my mind, but I quickly shook my head. It seemed unlikely that such a beautiful woman would have forged a visit card.

    ‘Wiseoryeon… Wiseoryeon… It’s a name that’s familiar to me somewhere…’

    no way.

    “Small…Small…Small.?!”

    It was a time when Akhwi, who was only in level 9, was overwhelmed and stuttering at the name of the heavenly guarantor.

    “Khahahaha! Are you looking for a request?”

    Someone approached the black cat.

    “Looks like you need a piece of paper.”

    The surroundings were in commotion. The black cat felt the commotion around him and stared at the huge bald head in front of him.

    “Gwakhee-ro, Buak-do.”

    “This time, they reached the pinnacle…”

    Buakdo Kwak Hee shouted, becoming even more upset due to the murmurs around her.

    “How do you feel? If you serve this old man, I will give you ten times, no, twenty times more than the modest request!”

    ‘You crazy guy! stop!’

    Ak-Hwi screamed inwardly at Kwak-Hee’s behavior as she looked at the black cat with eyes filled with greed.

    You’re making fun of the guests of Socheonma, the second-in-command of the Demonic Cult!

    “Stop it! This person…”

    “Aang, what? Are you saying that, at best, a 9th-level bastard will interfere with this body’s journey?”

    Ak-Hwi, who tried to open his mouth to dissuade him, was instantly crushed by the power and life radiating from Kwak-Hee’s body. Ak-Hwi’s mouth was forced to close as life poured out mercilessly.

    Akhui felt the momentum and regretted intervening.

    The Demonic Cult is a society of strong self-respect.

    Although it is strictly prohibited to engage in violence against non-military people, they are extremely tolerant of the law-of-the-nuts behavior that takes place among non-military people.

    Even if Kwak Hee beat up Ak Hwi and made him sick just because he interrupted her, no one would say anything.

    Black Cat thought as she watched Kwak Hee scolding Ak Hwi.

    It was like an uproar that was planned from the moment it was announced that neither cotton thread nor black lip could be used within the Heavenly Demon Church.

    The black cat took in the sight and imagined it for a moment.

    What would happen if something like this happened somewhere else in the midfield?

    There would be criticism coming from all directions, saying that an ugly toad was persecuting a beautiful woman.

    However, although there were many warriors and people at this request center, no one in particular tried to stop Ak-Hwi’s behavior.

    ‘This is what the Demonic Cult is like.’

    The black cat thought as he raised his mouthpiece.

    So what happens if I show that I am a ‘strong person’?

    The black cat’s hand naturally stretched out and rested on the tip of Guo Xi’s sword. Kwak Hee, who had been growling at Ak Hwi, was startled and grabbed the handle of the sword.

    Tsuzzz!!!

    At that moment, the energy of the black cat poured into Guo Xi’s path through the black cat’s hand. Akhui was very alert and tried to extract Tao.

    Blah blah blah!!

    In an instant, not only Kwak Hee’s sword but also his hands froze.

    “Keuuu!”

    Kwak Hee, who had been hit hard by the oral pronunciation technique, retreated frantically. Kwak Hee, who stepped back like that, could not help but widen her eyes.

    “Three, oh my!”

    “Strength!”

    Because the black cat’s hands were wrapped with a truly brilliantly shining force.

    Black Cat looked at Kwak Hee with wide eyes and thought. The level of skill has been clearly revealed, but that doesn’t mean the opponent will back down easily.

    The black cat opened its mouth as it looked at the vicious ring eyes staring at it.

    “No matter where you attack me…”

    “Sorry!”

    And Kwak Hee lowered her head at the right angle with that cruel expression on her face.

    “….?”

    “I was rude and failed to recognize this precious person!”

    Kwak Hee smiled awkwardly with a cruel face. It looked more like a threat than a smile, but the intention itself was conveyed to the black cat.

    “I did this without knowing, so can I please ask for leniency?”

    “…Sure.”

    “Thank you! Women’s cooperative!”

    The black cat looked at the back of Kwak Hee running away with bewildered eyes. This was because the revelers who usually laughed at black cats tended to get angry and hold grudges when they were suppressed or their face was damaged in this way.

    However, the black cat soon nodded with a subtle expression.

    If the Church of the Heavenly Demon truly returned to its principles of strong self-respect, this would be the right thing to do.

    Because it was necessary to bow down to the strong as thoroughly as one was cruel to the weak.

    “Please make a request.”

    “Yes! I will give it to you as the best request!”

    Until Black Cat received the request under the guidance of Ak-Hwi and left the request center, not a single person appeared to disturb Black Cat.

    Black Cat could guess the reason.

    ‘It’s probably because I showed my strength.’

    The black cat, who had used his power once but had not been disturbed even once since then, was overcome with a strange feeling.

    If only I had the strength to protect myself.

    In this demonic cult, wouldn’t it be necessary to worry about one’s appearance?

    The black cat thought of such a thought and smiled bitterly.

    This was because it reminded me of Wei Seo-ryeon, who expressed confidence that she could not help but feel the charm of the Demonic Cult.

    I thought I had gotten a one-sided blow, but the counterattack was quite fierce.

    “It’s not easy.”

    After mumbling that, the black cat strengthened his resolve and took a step forward.

    Hocheonan. Black cat. And Wiseoryeon.

    With the thoughts of the three people intertwined, the true demonic life of Heukmyo and Hocheonan began.
