Chapter 379 – Heavenly Demon Church
Clap clap clap!
The Sword Demon’s complaints were quietly buried in front of the never-ending applause.
Nevertheless, Geomma did not give up and complained several more times, but no one listened to him.
In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
“Stop. “You’ve rewarded those who deserve praise, so now it’s time to punish those who deserve punishment, right?”
A slave, no, a sword demon, looking up at the sky with a liberated face.
Looking at him like that, Jun burst out laughing for a moment and then looked at the combatants with disdain as if he had never done that before.
Due to the ominous look and the word ‘punishment’, all the combatants, including the great masters, began to keep an eye on Jun.
“With what confidence do you call the devil? As soon as they experience the difference in power, they turn into scared bastards and can’t even raise their claws.”
…
“With a mentality like that, how are you going to get revenge? “Are you going to sit back and wait for me to do everything?”
“… Then what should I do? “I have no strength.”
“Shut up! “I’m not finished talking yet.”
Kang Ma, who had a strong sense of pride, grumbled a little without notice, but then collapsed at Jun’s words.
Other great lords and believers looked at him with pitiful eyes, but they generally agreed with his excuse that it was because he was weak.
Of course, that atmosphere was enough to make Jun, who was already disappointed with them, even more disappointed.
“… Is it because you don’t have the strength? Then I can raise it.”
Do you think it’s easier said than done?
The combatants did not dare to be sarcastic.
Because the atmosphere of the Heavenly Demon was too scary for that.
I felt like I could really die if I did something wrong.
“There is nothing more effective than physical training when it comes to increasing your strength. “All combatants, circle the castle with all their might until I tell them to stop.”
…?
“Why are you standing there so stupidly! Hurry and run! Unless you want to die by my hands!”
Jun increased his momentum as if he was really going to kill him.
Only then did the combatants begin to run away, gasping for help.
“The Sword Demon and the Black Tiger come back! Wonma! “You monitor for me whether the combatants are running properly or not!”
Sword Horse and Black Tiger, which showed good performance, were excluded from the list.
As a bonus, Wonmado is an old devil.
Because letting her do her thing was nothing short of elder abuse.
“Sword Demon, please talk to me for a moment.”
“Yes? Yep!”
After giving the Black Tigers free time, they secretly hid among them and summoned the Sword Demon who was trying to disappear.
The Sword Demon looked very displeased at that, but she was afraid that she would get scolded, so she quickly ran in front of Jun.
“Aren’t you very embarrassed to suddenly be given such an important role? Still, please understand. “It is more efficient for you, who have been in the Church of Heaven for a long time, to lead the Church of God rather than for me, who does not know much about the Church of the Heavenly Demon, to lead the Church of God.”
“But no matter how efficient it is, it’s a bit awkward for me to lead the new religion when the Heavenly Demon is there…”
Geomma steadfastly refused to be her right-hand man.
She said she couldn’t do it because it would undermine Cheonma’s authority, but just by looking at her disgruntled face, you could tell that she was just doing it because it was annoying.
“Oh, I don’t know. Anyway, you lead the Protestant Church.”
“… Yes.”
Jun, who was tired of meaningless conversations that were different on the outside and the inside, just said that he was going to get his stomach kicked and left.
Unable to overcome that, Geomma eventually became Jun’s right-hand man.
There seemed to be a lot of complaints, but so what? Then you are a heavenly devil.
“Okay, good idea. Well, now that we have a right arm, let’s discuss it. “How are we going to defeat the Murim Alliance with those rabbits?”
“Yes. But a rabbit? Are you talking about combatants?”
“If you have red eyes and a timid personality, you are a rabbit. Um, but would it be rude to give the rabbit a nickname? Rabbits dig several burrows just in case, but they only make excuses.”
Jun clicked his tongue repeatedly as if he didn’t like him.
As if he couldn’t bear to curse his family, Geomma said nothing and only smiled awkwardly.
“Honestly, there’s only one thing we can do right now. “The goal is to increase the number of believers as much as possible by announcing the second coming of the Heavenly Demon.”
“No matter how strong one hand is, it cannot handle many hands.”
“That’s right. There may be exceptions for ridiculously strong people like Heavenly Demon, but strong people of that level are very rare.”
When they began to discuss the future of Cheonma Shingyo in earnest, Geomma showed her cool-headed right-hand side as if she had never rejected it.
It was a great choice to have him as a slave, or rather as a right-hand man.
“Of course, increasing the number of believers does not solve the problem. We need to train again and again so that we can all move as if we are one living organism.”
“Like you and the Black Tiger.”
“Yes.”
“If other units knew how to work together like you do, and even cooperated with each other, it would have been possible to hit me.”
“That’s right.”
The Sword Demon nodded her head in agreement.
Then she showed a liberated expression again and spoke quickly.
“The Miguidae is in charge of defense at the front, and the Hyeolrangdae are hiding behind it. The moment an opening appears, they rush in at once, and the Dokgeodae are good at making powerful poisons, but their battles are a jam, so they hand over all their poisons to Yeongjo’s squadron, which has a similar fighting style, and hide in the safe rear. In the meantime, King Yeongjo cooperated with Yuan Ma to weaken the enemy. Finally, the gap is revealed, and the Black Tiger delivers the final blow to the weakened enemy. “How good would it be?”
“… Yeah, I really wish that would happen. But it looks like it didn’t work out.”
“Yes.”
Simple is best.
The strategy that came out of the Sword Demon’s mouth was simple enough that those words immediately came to mind, but it seemed very effective.
But why is such a good strategy still not put into practice?
Because of pride?
“Well, there is that too. Isn’t the pride unnecessarily strong when you have nothing to begin with? But the real reason is different.”
“What? Do you lose your mind quickly when you get excited?”
“Oh. “You noticed.”
“Then. “If I were not careful, I could have gotten stabbed in the back. How could I not notice?”
A sword horse avoiding Jun’s gaze like a thief shaking his feet.
While laughing at that, Jun thought about it.
As soon as the sparring began, Hyeolrangdae rushed in to save Kang Ma.
Even though he was in charge of the school’s shield, Miguidae threw down his shield and rushed at him as soon as he got hit a few times.
German University and Yeongjo University were frightened by the overwhelming gap and stayed still even when the time to attack came.
Even though it was just a sparring match, not a life-or-death situation, the swordsman did not hesitate to launch an attack that could have been a fatal blow.
These were all actions that were difficult to do in a sane way.
I can guarantee that they were all out of their minds at that time.
And the culprit that brought them to that state is
“The practice method (simbeop) you learned is not correct, is it? The reason I get distracted easily is because of the side effects.”
It may be because of the exercises they learned.
“Yes, that’s right. The mind method of the Heavenly Demon Church that we have learned is very fast in collecting energy and does not require great enlightenment to raise the level, but as the Heavenly Demon said, it has the side effect of easily losing one’s mind.”
Jun’s prediction was exactly right.
As he expected, the mental techniques learned by the combatants had the side effect of easily losing one’s mind, which was a huge side effect that should never have occurred in battle.
“… It’s difficult.”
“Yes, it is very difficult.”
Even though there were such side effects, Jun couldn’t bring himself to tell them to change their way of thinking.
If I changed my mentality, I would have to start over from zero, so it was obvious that my already weak power would be further reduced, and above all…
“There is no way of thinking better suited to you than this.”
This is because there was no mental method that suited the combatants as well as the spiritual method of the Heavenly Demon Church.
“Even if we had the best deep attack in the world, no one would have mastered it. We don’t have the talent to learn it, a teacher to interpret it and give us enlightenment, or a family to provide us with the elixir. “For poor people like us who have nothing, the teachings of the Heavenly Demon Church are perfect.”
The Sword Demon spoke as if he were lamenting.
Unable to find anything to refute, Jun could only smile bitterly.
‘It’s the same in any world. Those who have it can enjoy better learning.’
Fortunately, the world’s lumens are in better shape.
Thanks to the existence of a superpower, a special ability that can only be obtained through luck, a lucky few were able to enjoy better learning even if they had nothing.
‘Is there no way?’
For various reasons, it was not possible to change the practice now.
If that’s the case, then I have to do something about the side effect of easily losing my mind, but I couldn’t think of a way to do that.
It was then.
“Juni! Por is here!”
When Fortuna and her wives finished treating the patients, they returned to Jun.
“My lord, your complexion is not good. “Do you have any concerns?”
Dohwa asked Jun, who was trying to comfort Fortuna, who was clinging to her as if she was going to do something foolish that she couldn’t do because she was busy treating her patients.
Since there was no reason for him to keep it a secret, Jun told his wives about his concerns.
But soon after,
“It’s easy.”
“Baby, what are you worrying about?”
An answer I never expected came back.
