“Gasp, gasp…!”
The woman who was running stumbled and fell. The young man who was running ahead saw the sight and ran to the woman’s side.
“Are you okay? Let’s rest a little!”
“Gasp…! omg..! Still!”
“Calm down. Being in a hurry doesn’t change anything.”
The woman took a deep breath and turned her head.
Kyaaa!
bang!
The sounds of battle heard from afar. It’s already been more than a day since I heard that sound.
The woman became impatient at the clear evidence that the man was still fighting.
I knew I needed to rest, but how could I rest comfortably when that sound was ringing in my ears?
“Let’s go.”
“They said I need to rest more.”
“You’re almost at the destination! Just rest while searching!”
“…I understand.”
The woman and the young man moved again. The place they ran to was a mountain. A place full of destruction marks left by the black dragon’s brutality.
“Ha, ha…damn…where should I start looking?”
“Let’s search from here first!”
A question arose in the woman’s mind as she gasped as she watched the young man run away.
Can we really find the ‘star weapon’ here?
The woman recalled what happened two days ago.
[What if there is a way to fight together?]
[What does it mean?]
[The new man said before that he needed a weapon. It’s also a pretty strong weapon.]
The young man swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
[Across the way, the village called an attendant to deal with the black dragon. Well, it seems strange now that a god can fight a black dragon, but… until then, it was reckless to expect the practitioners to defeat the black dragon. Nevertheless, the village chose that method.]
[Could you please summarize the main idea?]
[There is something called a star weapon in that village.]
…Star weapon? A look of puzzlement flashed across the faces of the villagers.
[It was said to be rain falling from the sky. The village probably thought that they could exterminate the black dragon by giving the star weapon to the practitioner. It’s definitely a great weapon. So much so that it could be of great help in the fight against the Black Dragon.]
[That’s nonsense.]
The priest retorted.
[Even if there were such weapons, quite some time has passed since the village was destroyed. If it was such a sad news, the survivors might have taken it and ran away. How can you find a weapon that may not be anywhere? It’s nothing more than an act of suicide!]
[So we have to spread out and search.]
The young man calmly retorted.
[If the practitioner had picked up a star weapon, the weapon would remain in the place where he fought the black dragon, and if by chance he had asked to exterminate the black dragon in exchange for a star weapon, it would have been hidden in the village. If any survivors escaped, they might be in another village.]
[What a vain plan! Are you sane to risk your life for something like that?]
The priest sneered.
[I will do it.]
The woman stepped forward. The priest just smiled bitterly.
If you just run away while the man bides his time, your safety is guaranteed, but who would want to take an unknown risk?
[I will help too.]
[I will also participate.]
however.
Quite a few villagers expressed their intention to participate.
[Now, are you guys sane?]
[Isn’t it dangerous enough to hear such words? At best, it’s just traversing the mountain ridges and knocking on the doors of other villages.]
[I’m so sick of not being able to do anything and being scared.]
[It’s something worth doing because you can live comfortably if you succeed.]
[Oh, no…]
Leaving the priest’s despair behind, the villagers held a discussion among themselves. The location of the monk invited by the village was confirmed through each other’s opinions, and the village and place to be searched were decided.
As a result of the discussion, the place that the young man and woman were assigned to was the place where a battle was supposedly held between a monk from a distant village and a black dragon.
The woman’s heart was filled with despair as she was told that she had to find a weapon that might or might not exist among all the debris that the black dragon had destroyed.
Kyaaa!
However, the woman came to her senses at the sound of the black dragon roaring from the sky.
‘I have to find it!’
Proof that the man is still fighting.
At that sound, the woman calmed down and started digging through the rubble.
How much debris did they dig up?
The woman found something shiny under the fallen log. I reflexively stretched out my hand and fumbled for the object. A silver body and a hard, cool feel in the hand.
“Found it!”
The young man hurriedly approached, and the woman and the young man cleared away all the remaining debris and dirt and looked at the ‘star weapon’.
“This is…”
“I’m sure!”
The shape of the weapon is obvious to anyone and its unusual appearance. The two people, who were happy with big smiles on their faces, soon woke up when they heard the black dragon’s cry coming from the sky.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
The way back would not be easy for the two who were already worn out.
Their eyes were sparkling with hope.
*** ***
The man thought.
Have you ever had a fight this long?
I was out of breath and my arms and legs felt as heavy as wet cotton.
Kyaaa!!
A man looking at the black dragon descending once again.
That voice is good too.
I thought it was truly disgusting to see a black dragon that looked exhausted, but the more it cried, the more venomous it became.
By moving his heavy limbs, he barely managed to avoid the black dragon’s front paw. Although he dodged the attack, the man moved his body even more nimbly. This was to avoid the subsequent attack of the falling tail.
Kwaaaang!!
I don’t know how many times I’ve avoided it. Once again, the man covered in dust and debris swallowed a groan.
Although the tail was dodged, the debris spit out from the ground that exploded due to the tail attack hit my entire body.
The man endured the pain and thought of the village people.
The villagers concluded that since they could not control energy, they would be of no help.
Instead of safely evacuating, the villagers chose to go in search of a star weapon that they could not even tell if it was risking their lives or not.
The man recalled the eyes of the villagers imprinted in his mind.
Fighting spirit.
‘There was clearly a determination to fight in their eyes.’
Then the man realized.
That they too were people no different from me. They just differed in the amount of power they could wield, but they were also people who, like him, could ignite the flame of struggle in their hearts.
Therefore, the man preserved his strength, endured the pain, endured the suffering, and waited.
The star weapons they will bring with them.
A means to drop that arrogant black thing from the sky.
“Rookie!!”
The man’s wait paid off.
A young man and a woman covered in sweat.
Because those two people had star weapons in their hands.
Has it finally arrived?
The man with such sentiments extended his hand toward the young man and the woman.
The woman let go of the trembling weapon and the weapon was sucked into the man’s hand. Soon, the man holding the weapon looked down at the weapon in his hand.
It was clunky.
A weapon made by barely attaching a handle to a piece of metal.
However, the man felt persistence and desire in such a weapon.
Cloud iron is literally a metal sent from heaven, which does not melt even in flames and is said to be the hardest in the world.
How much effort and time did it take to drill a hole in such a piece of rock and attach a handle?
The man felt it as soon as he grabbed the handle.
The fighting spirit of the people of a distant village who wanted to fight and win against the black dragon.
Wooow!!!
Light came into the weapon forged with the will of the people. The woman thought as she saw the scene.
It is a light so strong that it cannot even be compared to the light gathered in the man’s sword and fist.
The black dragon seemed to think that the energy gathered in the man’s weight was unusual, so he gave up descending and looked around.
“Are you planning on not coming?”
Kyaaa!!
The black dragon let out an angry cry as if it had understood the man’s words, but the cunning black dragon had no intention of giving up its advantage.
Because humans were creatures that could not fly.
The man nodded, as if he had read the black dragon’s intention.
“Then I will go.”
The man jumped up. The black dragon saw that and laughed. What can a human without wings do by running?
however.
The man’s feet stretched out in the air, stepping on the air.
It soared once again.
The man repeatedly kicks the air and rushes towards the black dragon in an instant.
Wow!!
The black dragon, which was flapping leisurely, quickly flapped its wings and fled to a higher place. The black dragon quickly increased its altitude, but the man’s attack speed was even faster.
“Ah…..”
Women and youth.
No, all the villagers who were running around in countless places looking for the star weapon looked at the scene.
The black dragon that ruled the sky was running away from the ascending star.
The man who created that amazing scene.
All sorts of reasons were swirling in the man’s head.
The source of that logic was the star weapon.
The sky outside the sky.
A universe where even the stars are just dust.
The man’s vessels and horizons, constantly communicating with the clouds engraved with the flow of the universe, were continuing to expand at this very moment.
Kyaaa!
The black dragon continued to flap its wings and let out a cry.
The man who fought the black dragon for three days and nights read the resentment and anger in the eyes of the black dragon he encountered.
Facing the black dragon’s eyes, the man unconsciously opened his mouth.
“It might be unfair.”
The man acknowledged some of the black dragon’s feelings.
Because the power he wields now was something he could never possess on his own.
however.
Those who forged star weapons.
Instead of fleeing to safety, the villagers scattered in all directions to find the star weapon.
Their aspirations and efforts. And the fighting spirit created a heavenly path for men to walk on.
The man who ran down that path without hesitation soared higher than the black dragon.
“Now I stand above you.”
Kyaaa!!
The black dragon, forced to look up at a mere human, spewed out its anger more fiercely than ever.
The man looked at the black dragon and silently lifted the weight.
Because now was the time to put an end to everything.
All the energy in the world swung around the man’s pendulum, and a brighter light than ever before enveloped the pendulum.
In the end, they rushed towards the black dragon.
Light exploded.
“Ah…”
The young man and woman who were watching the scene closest just opened their mouths and looked at the scene.
A black dragon was falling from the sky along with starlight.
A tyrant who walked across the sky as if the world was his, crying as much as he wanted and killing people with passionate eyes.
The tyrant tried to resist by flapping his wings to hold on somehow, but every time he collided with the man and the star weapon he was holding, the black dragon’s body swayed, its head tilted back, and its wings broke.
The young man and the woman saw clearly.
The sight of a man holding a weight with both hands slamming down with all his might and the weight getting stuck between the black dragon’s eyes.
That attack was the final blow.
Kwaaaa!!
The black dragon’s massive body fell to the ground. Using the black dragon’s large body as a shield, the man who fell to the ground staggered and raised himself.
“…I’m so sick of it.”
How can a man have a healthy body? No matter how much he realized the path to heaven, he could not recover from the wounds and exhaustion of his body from fighting for three days and nights.
The head of a black dragon filled with poison was draped over a man who was using a weight as a staff to keep from falling.
The man whipped his tired body and raised his head.
It was a desperate moment, but the man knew.
The current black dragon doesn’t even have the power to bite the man.
Wow!!
Therefore, the black dragon burned the rest of his life and spewed out the original poison.
Blood poured out like a waterfall from its helplessly opened spout. The young man and the woman screamed at the sight of all the blood remaining in their heart and body being literally squeezed out.
Because the man covered all that blood.
Isn’t this poisonous blood that leaves a bizarre scar on your forearm just by brushing it?
Because at any moment, the man might turn into a handful of vultures and disappear.
however.
The young man and the man could not help but be even more shocked by what happened the next moment.
All of the black dragon’s dark red blood pouring down like a waterfall was being absorbed into the man’s body.
Is it just that?
The blood flowing from all over the black dragon’s body turned into black energy and stuck to the man.
-G-r-r-r-!
The black dragon’s cry rang out in the man’s head. At that moment, the man instinctively realized that the black dragon’s energy had seeped into his body.
The moment he realized that fact, the black dragon’s cry sounded different to the man.
I blame you.
hates humans
It denies the truth of the stars.
The energy of the black dragon coiled around his body, leaving only those words, the black dragon energy.
The man, who had exhausted all his strength and was unable to stop the changes taking place in his body, smiled bitterly.
‘Is it a curse?’
From now on, the man realized that he would have to live by controlling the black dragon that only wanted to bite humans.
Is it just that?
The black dragon’s venom has even stained its ‘reason’.
Those who have inherited this principle that he uses now will not be able to escape the influence of the Black Dragon Qi.
The man, observing the inner change, opened his eyes.
I thought it was just a moment, but a lot of time has passed.
The village people were gathering.
“Rookie…! The hair…!”
“Snow…!”
Hearing the words of the woman and the young man, the man looked at the pendulum’s side. The surface of the pendulum, which had not been polished at all, was uneven and did not reflect the shape properly, but the change in the man reflected on the pendulum’s surface was enough for anyone to see.
The man’s eyes were as red as blood and his hair was stained blacker than anything else.
The man looked at the villagers who could not approach easily.
How can a person easily approach a person when the black dragon flag is wrapped around him and is ready to bite a person at any moment?
Qi is the essence.
The villagers feel that the man is no different from a black dragon, an ominous being.
“Rookie..! What happened? ”
“It looks like the black dragon scattered ashes on its way.”
The village people sighed.
“You have literally become a devil.”
The villagers could not bear to deny those words. Even though it knew that the man was not that kind of being, the power of the Black Dragon that wrapped around the man and spread its terrible energy was so extreme.
The man took a long breath, lifted the weight, and placed it on his shoulder.
The man walked away without saying a word.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to leave.”
It had the energy to harm people. So, it was necessary to keep a distance from people.
however.
The man’s steps had no choice but to stop immediately.
This was because a young man and a woman were blocking his path.
“Why do you want to go here?”
“If it’s because of a curse, we’re okay. Let’s do it together.”
The man let out a long sigh.
“I was cursed by the black dragon. This guy, who has been imbued with the source of my power, will only go wild when he harms people, and will remain silent when dealing with spiritual creatures such as black dragons. I’m saying I can’t protect you anymore.”
“Even so, it doesn’t matter.”
The villagers nodded as if responding to the words of the young man and woman. The man looked at the villagers with heavy eyes.
It wasn’t just the villagers who were here.
Those who are not familiar. Those who heard the news spreading while visiting various villages, or scouts from other villages to understand the situation in which the black dragon fell, were also here.
The man was able to read the emotions in their eyes.
fear.
“I don’t think the surrounding villages will like it that much.”
“Even if that were the case, so what!”
The woman shouted in frustration.
“Did you say you had become a devil? What kind of devil in the world keeps himself at a distance, worrying about harm to people?”
“Yes! Heavenly beings are human!”
“…Even so, others will not see me as a human being.”
“Are you going to fight alone?”
The man’s eyes shook at the young man’s words.
“Didn’t we defeat the sky called Black Dragon together? Together, we destroyed the sky, so why were you afraid?”
I’m scared.
The young man continued speaking.
“Aren’t we the ones who brought down the sky? You defeated the black dragon, but you’re trying to succumb to the curse it left behind.”
“Yes! This guy is right! Let’s work together again to overcome that curse!”
The villagers surrounded the man and never backed down. The man eventually lowered his head at the actions of the villagers.
“Thank you.”
The village people burst into cheers and returned to the village with the man.
Other villagers who saw this went back to the village and said this.
It is said that a village has emerged that worships the devil who brought down the sky.
In the distant future.
It was the birth of a group that would be called the Church of the Heavenly Demon.
*** ***
“This story contains all the foundations of the current Heavenly Demon Church.”
Jeongcheol was overwhelmed by the long story and was speechless.
“Did you understand why Socheonma is treated equally as Cheonma? It’s just a different time, but since he inherited the Heavenly Demon God’s skill, he is no different from any other Heavenly Demon in that he overcame the curse of the black dragon.”
“Do you understand why Cheonmabigo exists and why there are so many martial arts books in it? This is because the Cheonmas, who could not carelessly inherit the cursed martial arts, continued to create new martial arts for others.”
“Do you understand why you can inherit the Heavenly Demon Divine Art? Was it easy to continue the lineage of the Heavenly Demon God who was cursed by the Black Dragon? That is why the discipline exists so that anyone with potential can challenge the succession of the Heavenly Demon God.”
“Finally, do you understand what it means to inherit the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill? It says that the black dragon that ruled the world must endure, overcome, and deal with the evil it left behind on humans, warriors, and martial arts. This is the [Heavenly Demon Divine Gong] and the source of power that can dominate the world.”
“You should engrave all these meanings in your heart. Understand what it means and what kind of challenge it is to inherit the Heavenly Demon God.”
“Becoming a Heavenly Demon is like that.”
Jeongcheol saw Wijicheon differently.
I never looked down on Wi Ji-cheon, but after hearing this story today, I felt like Wi Ji-cheon was a giant several times, even dozens of times bigger than him.
“Whether you will be a man ascending to heaven holding a weight or a practitioner who fell to the claws of a black dragon is a question no one can know, and what meaning you have received the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong and with what attitude It is up to you whether you want to challenge yourself, but I would like to ask you only one thing.”
Jeongcheol swallowed dry saliva and asked.
“What is it?”
“Never show an unsightly appearance in front of the black dragon.”
Jeongcheol was overwhelmed by the momentum of Wicheon that was revealed for a moment. Wi Ji-cheon turned around with eyes that could not understand any emotions.
“The succession ceremony is tomorrow, so prepare well.”
