Chapter 172 – Heavenly Demon (3)
A desperate scream rang out. People died everywhere.
“Hee-hee-i-!”
Seeing his colleague turned into a withered tree, one soldier dropped his sword. A person whose body was pierced by the thread expelled by the spider immediately sucked out all bodily fluids and became his throat.
Inmyeonjiju 人面蜘蛛. The human face painted on the ship seemed to be mocking. Giant weapons approaching 100m in height were shattered by the spider’s jokingly swinging feet.
“Gee, call for support!”
“The most troops are deployed here! More support is impossible!”
“I need a coriander…!”
Kwajik- The commanding officer, who had been shouting urgently, was crushed by the face holder’s foot and turned into a handful of blood.
“Ugh…”
Those who gave up on life, those who ran away, and those who resisted nonetheless. The area around the spider was already like a piece of hell. Still, there were quite a few people fighting fiercely, whether they were unmanned or not. If 100 people died, 100 people ran again. The process was repeated endlessly.
“This guy! This look, what’s so funny!”
The aged swordsman roared and swung his sword. Tears of blood flowed from his bloodshot eyes, and blood spilled from his chewed lips. It was a mortal blow, but it couldn’t even scratch the hard upper of the face holder.
The face of the face holder turned to the old swordsman. The spider looked at the swordsman and sneered. The spider’s huge paws fired at the swordsman.
“⋯Lord.”
He was a devout Catholic, one of the few warriors. He closed his eyes as he saw death approaching him, but the counterattack he expected was not forthcoming.
Instead.
The dazzling sunlight poured over my eyelids. It was warm yet brilliant. It was like the halo of a god that I had only imagined.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day -!
The human landlord let out a grotesque cry, brought her legs together, and shrunk her body. The black sun rose. A pitch-black sword thrust down from the sky pierced the face of the Faceplate.
The realm of godlessness
Super hot fire
Simultaneously, the monsters were set on fire.
Snuggle Geek!
The face-to-face landlord struggled against his body, but in just a few seconds it turned to ashes and scattered. Despite the flames that instantly turned to ashes the human face support that even Kang Ki couldn’t damage, it felt very cozy to the people around her.
Flash- The light flickered once, and the sun disappeared.
The survivors looked around blankly.
Miracle.
It was the moment when a miracle happened.
“Ohhh!”
An elderly swordsman knelt down and said a prayer. One by one, people followed suit, and silent prayers continued on the land where the demons soon disappeared.
Kim Moo-gong, who opened the light and escaped the void, headed for the most urgent direction. The first thing I saw as soon as I breathed into the world was people being slaughtered for the play of monsters. Anger. Forgotten emotions vividly revived. As soon as I made up my mind, the monsters disappeared in an instant. Some might say it is the state of mind sword, but Kim Moo-gong did not obsess over the name of the state. When the monsters were dealt with, weak energy flowed in.
‘Divine power.’
People’s prayers are strength. It was the road to God. Just like in the void, I didn’t want to be a god. However, in case of emergency, I suddenly came up with a ‘place to write’ and quietly sealed it inside.
Kim Mu-gong took one step. He crossed space and reached another place in an instant.
Every time he swung his sword, he could see Dokgopae spurting blood. I saw people on the telegraph tower already collapsed nearby.
Among them, there were a few who remembered. Dokgopae fought very well against the Bone Dragon. However, very little was lacking, and he was prepared for a friendship. Together. Kim Mu-gong did not want Dok-go-pae to die.
‘Chamryong (斬龍).’
Kim Mu-gong recited in his heart.
Thud-
The Bone Dragon, which emitted blue eyes, could not maintain its body immediately and collapsed into a pile of broken bones.
Dokgopae, who was preparing to trigger the Seoncheonjingi, widened his eyes. A familiar person floated in the distant sky.
“You…?”
Kim Mu-gong indifferently looked down at Dok-go-pae. The time in the void that was close to eons, took the expression from his face. The action of ‘smile’ was very unfamiliar.
Still.
When we face each other, it is human emotions that are naturally expressed. Kim Moo-gong raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Dokgopae responded with an airlift toward the sky. Only now Dokgopae realized what had happened. Heart to heart. Will has been conveyed. Dokgopae did not want long words. Because even at this moment, people are being sacrificed.
Kim Moo-gong nodded his head slightly, and opened the light again. He saw his master fighting fiercely with his one-eyed giant.
While he couldn’t see it, his master’s face was wrinkled.
The disciple didn’t like the wrinkles around his master’s eyes.
So.
Heavenly Demon’s Reign.
He took out his anger on the monster instead. If it weren’t for these things in the first place. There was no way that Hyungyeong’s soldier had aged like that in a few years. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung- The ignorant light waves pressed the atmosphere.
The one-eyed giant’s body was squeezed like a rat, and all the other monsters turned into a handful of blood.
On the land where the monsters disappeared, the disciple stood face to face with the master. The master who seemed infinitely taller now felt like an ordinary person, a little tired. The disciple held his sword in both hands and took a respectful swordsman’s bow.
“You are late.”
Master said calmly.
“⋯Sorry.”
The act of exhaling the voice by vibrating the vocal cords was awkward. Still, it came out quite naturally. The disciple thought so.
“Is this the last time?”
“No.”
“Go.”
“⋯Yes.”
After the very plain conversation between the priest and the priest, the disciple turned around.
[The Heavenly Demon of the next generation is you.]
Before splitting the space, I heard the master’s voice in my ear. In a way, it could have been seen as meaningless in the current situation, but the disciple grasped the meaning of the words. Admit. Those words were the greatest recognition given to a disciple by a master who is usually clumsy with expressions. Seeing the increased wrinkles of the master, the depressive mood slightly improved.
Last.
The last time Kim Moo-gong came here was because of hesitation. The time in the void was no different from the process of being born anew as ‘Kim Mu-gong’. Is he really the same being as he was before? Even that was questionable.
However, Kim Mu-gong realized things step by step while looking at people. It was useless fear from one to ten. Feeling nostalgic, Kim Mu-gong sensed the battlefield below. And he quietly held his hand.
The body of the giant centipede floated into the air. She struggled with hundreds of legs, but to no avail. In addition, not only the corpses and remains of monsters, but also dark red blood welled up into the sky.
The battle stopped and everyone moved their eyes blankly to the sky. It was a very unreal landscape.
‘Extermination.’
Quad de de de de de deuk- All kinds of monster fragments started to burn and condense into one point. Kim Moo-gong opened the space and threw the lumps of monsters’ corpses compressed to the size of marbles.
He didn’t want a bunch of filthy demons at the reunion place. So he got rid of it altogether. In an instant, the surroundings became clear. Mugong Kim nodded his head in satisfaction. He came down slowly.
“Moo Gong Kim…?”
“You?”
“Leader?”
“Your junior?”
“Cadet, no, Lee Gongja-nim?”
“Unarmed?”
All kinds of words calling themselves. Bond, love. It was the reason I was able to endure in the void that was like hell. As his worn-out emotions recovered, he finally realized that he had returned.
“It’s too…Too late…!”
Tok. Midsummer hit Mu-gong Kim’s chest with his head.
“I’m glad… I’m glad…”
In an instant, his chest was wet. Midsummer wrapped her arms tightly around Mu-gong Kim’s waist as clear tears dripped down.
“Black⋯. Ugh ⋯.”
It was only for a moment that I pretended to be bold, and small sniffs quickly turned into sobs. The surroundings quickly turned into a sea of crying. Kim Mu-gong patted his back and whispered.
“Sorry.”
Even the lofty Cheon Ha-yeon shed tears. Even Cheongha and Seomun Yerin were clinging to each other and holding on to their sleeves sobbing, so Kim Moo-gong sweated hard to appease them.
Her shoulders, which had been shaken for a while, calmed down, and Midsummer kissed her lips in Kim’s arms.
“⋯ Welcome.”
“Sorry.”
“⋯Aren’t you sick? It’s been 4 years since you disappeared. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I’m fine.”
Kim Mu-gong gazed somewhere beyond the void. A destructive aura that can be felt even at this distance, hundreds of kilometers away. I had an intuition that I couldn’t move on without getting rid of ‘that’.
“Why?”
“⋯ I need to go see it.”
“As soon as?”
“Huh.”
“Is it because of the demon king?”
“⋯Right.”
“Going together…”
Kim Mu-gong gently stroked Midsummer’s hair.
Midsummer trembled at her mouth. Everyone else was similar. She wanted to be with her as much as her heart. However, Kim Mu-gong’s inaction, which appeared after 4 years, reached a level that could not be approached. I don’t know what the heck happened.
‘If we go together, we’ll only get in the way.’
That was their conclusion. I couldn’t even tell you not to go. Now I just have to believe.
“People, protect me. I’ll be back soon.”
“⋯Don’t worry about this one. This time for real Shouldn’t you overdo it?”
“Okay.”
“⋯I’ll wait.”
There’s no need to rush anymore. Kim Moo-gong met the eyes of the women with open eyes. Then, with confident steps, he opened the door to the space and pushed it back.
