Chapter 480
Episode 480
“Geodogwi. “What are you doing to get caught in such an obvious trick?”
“yes?”
“Look closely. “That is not a fetish, but mere miscellany.”
“…!”
“The will to risk your life is good, but if you judge the timing and situation incorrectly, it is just a dog’s death.”
A relaxed expression and advice that is not appropriate for an urgent situation.
Sosalmagun, who looked away from Geodogui, who was at a loss for words, looked back at Seogunak and said.
“It’s been a while. Priests.”
“I never thought I would see you like this.”
“Wasn’t this what you did to lure me away?”
“…….”
“I would like you to dismantle the formation first. “I’d like to have a chat with the Dragon King, who might be watching somewhere nearby.”
“Do you think I will obey my brother’s words obediently?”
“I know there will be a backlash, but there is no need to be more vigilant than necessary. Haven’t you already achieved your goal? “Because I came here on my own feet.”
What Sosalma said was right.
The reason for setting up the battle in the first place was to prevent the Geodogwi’s voice from reaching his subordinates.
A task to make Sosalmagun, who received reports containing only fragmentary information from his subordinates, finally step forward.
But suddenly, Sosalmagun appeared in the arena.
There was no longer any reason to maintain the formation.
‘What kind of situation is this?’
While Seo Gun-ak hesitated, Seo Ho-seon took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it to the ground.
A blade dug deep into the ground damaged the buried casting.
When the formation lost its central axis and collapsed, the Sosalma army shouted with energy in its voice as if it had been waiting.
“Dragon King!”
A loud cry echoes throughout the mountain complex.
Sensing an unusual atmosphere, the middle school students stopped fighting and looked towards the source of the voice.
“I want to talk to you! “I hope you can give me some time, even if it’s just for a little while!”
I hope there will be a strange silence.
With the sound of footsteps, a young man emerged through the darkness.
The young man’s eyes as he looked at Sosalma were full of confusion.
“This is my first time seeing your face like this in person. “I’ve heard stories about you that make my ears tingle.”
“What are you thinking? “You jumped into it knowing clearly that it was a trap.”
“It’s an opportunity that will never come again. “I have something to suggest to you.”
“proposal?”
The young man Yeon-yoon’s brow furrowed slightly.
The response was that they couldn’t understand what they were talking about.
“Before we talk, there’s one thing I’d like to confirm.”
“……?”
“Didn’t my teacher, or sect leader, make this suggestion to you? Become a demonic cultist through a process of indoctrination. If you do that, he will pass on everything he has.”
Yeon-woon twitches and shakes his shoulders.
Sosalma nodded as if he knew that would happen and said with a bitter smile.
“I can assure you that this proposal will not be harmful to you. But it’s a bit awkward to talk about it in front of other people. “Would you mind giving me a seat?”
* * *
A hall used by the predecessor of Togolchae (兔鶻砦).
I created Samadhi True Fire, lit the candle, and muttered to myself.
‘What is it?’
I thought everything was going smoothly according to plan.
It was a little while ago that he looked pleased at the sight of Seo Ho-seon unilaterally attacking Geodo-gwi using the trick of a surprise attack.
But what is this situation?
Only after hearing the news of Geogogwi’s death and the survival of the Iron Blood Demon Army, the Small Death Demon Army that had to be moved was already in front of my eyes.
It was good that I achieved my goal earlier than expected, but the uneasy feeling did not go away.
‘I don’t know how long it’s been since I was this embarrassed.’
Currently, Sosalma-gun was not only prohibited from performing internal attacks, but his limbs were also tied.
It was not suppressed by force.
He obediently accepted the arrest, saying that he would accept any conditions as long as it provided a place for the two of them to talk alone.
Geodogwi protested strongly, but it was meaningless as the will of the party involved, Sosalmagun, was firm.
“Did you come here alone? “Without accompanying a single subordinate?”
“I see.”
“That’s not like you.”
“You speak as if you know me well.”
“…….”
“I am not the First Emperor of Qin. “He doesn’t have bad tastes, so much so that he brings his subordinates along as companions even though he clearly knows that he is going to die.”
Sosalma-gun chuckled and laughed.
It was an attitude that could not possibly be attributed to a person captured by the enemy.
I covered the entire room with an air membrane.
Sosalma, who was twisting his upper body this way and that as if he was uncomfortable in the bound position, said as if he was throwing something.
“I know more about you than you think.”
“You sound meaningful.”
“For example, I know that you returned to life using a divine object from our school, and that in your past life you were sentenced to death.”
“…!”
It was truly a clever speech.
I couldn’t help but become interested in the story.
The expression of being involved knowingly is probably used in times like these.
“How much do you know from where?”
“I know everything. His authority increased thanks to the death of Prince Cheonak and his official designation as Sogyoju. Of course, if I hadn’t been interested and investigated, I wouldn’t have known anything until now.”
“From what you’re saying, it doesn’t seem like the cult leader himself told you about the sacred object.”
“It’s obvious. Do you think our great Master would share his secrets with others? Why are you hiding so much? “I had a hard time digging it out quietly and without being noticed.”
I sobbed inwardly.
Although they say it as if it is not a big deal, what the Sosalma Army did was in fact a challenge to the authority of the Demonic Cult.
The religious leader, no matter what, was not the kind of person who would spare a religious leader who went against his wishes.
“The first time I felt a sense of discomfort was when I received an order to go to the remains of Gija Chen, who was buried in Bang County, Hubei Province.”
“…….”
“I couldn’t understand it at all. They said they would suddenly march to Hubei. “It made me question whether the decision made by the teacher I knew was right.”
I nodded as if responding to Sosalma-kun’s words.
It seemed like all people’s thoughts were there.
At the time, I also felt confused because I couldn’t read the cult leader’s intentions.
“In the end, the worst outcome I feared came out. Defeated with a huge loss of power. “Thanks to the activities of the Hundred-Faced Death God, we were able to eliminate the Sword King, but the damage suffered by the Demonic Cult was incomparable.”
“…….”
“At that point, I made up my mind. Even if it means taking risks, I have to figure out what happened. “I need to find out what he’s hiding.”
indeed.
When I wondered how the secrets surrounding divine objects were revealed, I never thought there would be such an inside story.
This would have been possible because it was Sosalma and not anyone else.
Within the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, there were countless people who would become his hands, feet, eyes, and ears.
It was not for any other reason that he, who was not even close to the Iron Blood Demon Army in terms of martial arts talent, was able to compete on equal footing with the Heavenly Evil Army.
“To be honest, it was such an absurd story that I couldn’t quite believe it at first. Reincarnation, return, precognition. “Isn’t this all something that can be treated as fantasy?”
“…….”
“But after considering every single thing that happened, I couldn’t help but believe it. From how you treated those who fell into mental demons due to Master’s arrangement to why the battle at Banghyeon took place. “All the doubts I’ve had so far have been resolved and you now know what I was thinking?”
Sosalma-kun cleared his throat once, as if he was choking, and looked up at the ceiling.
I could easily read the young emotions on his face.
It was none other than a feeling of desolation.
“Why on earth have I lived so fiercely? “The feeling of desperation washed over me like a wave.”
I had nothing to say.
For a moment, his appearance overlapped with someone else’s.
“You probably have a grudge against me.”
“What do you mean suddenly?”
“I know myself better than anyone else in the world. “If I, the person you experienced in the past life, had unlocked the secrets of the divine beings and found out that you were the bloodline of the first Heavenly Demon.”
I felt goosebumps rising on my back.
Even without listening to the end, I felt like I knew what he was trying to say.
“I would have tried to get rid of you at all costs. “Definitely, even if it means risking my own life.”
Is this what it feels like to be hit in the back of the head with a hammer?
Until now, I thought that the reason Sosalmagun killed me was simply to eliminate a threat to him.
When I think about it now, it was a strange thing.
The reason he went out of his way to kill me even though he declared that he was not interested in the position of leader.
The Iron Blood Demon Army, who had not shown much interest in me until then, suddenly joined the Sosal Demon Army’s plan and tried to kill me.
If it was all because of that reason, it would be understandable.
[You will be able to get everything you want. Power, authority, women, wealth, and even the martial arts world.]
[……Are you saying that you will hand over the position of leader to me?]
[I understand quickly.]
[I have a doubt. How will Cheonak-gun and Sosalma-gun, who are engaged in a bloody competition even at this very moment, react when they hear that?] [What kind of
big deal is that? If you wish, you can strip the two of them of their status and demote them to ordinary believers.]
[…….]
[If you are not satisfied with that alone, you can abolish the Danjeon and kick them out of the church.]
They knew.
As long as I, the bloodline of the first Heavenly Demon, am alive, there is no point in fighting them no matter how hard they try.
Yongjamgun (龍潛君) must be killed before the religious leader realizes that he is the bloodline of the first Heavenly Demon.
I laughed and leaned back against the backrest.
I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t speak.
‘It’s truly an unexpected story.’
