Episode 395 Side Story 2: Battle of the Heavenly Demons (4)
Baek Woo-jin headed to Geomgak alone.
As I crossed the ruins that were once the main gate of Geomgak, a terrible scent of blood wafted out that I could not believe was a sacred place for swords.
‘It’s invading my mind.’
The faint smell of blood not only destroys the sense of smell and causes confusion. It was a type of witchcraft that invaded the brain and ate away the human spirit.
I could feel it from the beginning, but other people would have smelled this blood scent only after they came in, and by then it was already too late.
Anyone who does not prepare mental defense will soon lose his senses.
“Whoop!”
I let out a long breath as if chasing away the scent of blood and entered the Geomgak.
‘I’m really broken.’
The buildings of Geomgak, which boasted the beauty of time, collapsed, and the only remaining building was Geomhujeon in the center.
Ugh.
When I was about to go to the sword room, a strange sound came from the floor.
“Stop.”
“If you come in any further than that, I will cut your throat.”
Green warriors holding spear knives jumped out from the floor on both sides. An unknown red pattern was shining on their blades.
“If you get caught, I’ll cut off one of your arms and take you with me… huh?”
I pulled out my sword without even looking at it.
Sigh!
A spine-chilling cutting sound was heard, and the twenty green soldiers lost their heads without even being able to scream.
“I have no intention of talking to those guys who reek of blood.”
Baek Woo-jin stepped on the blood of the green warriors and headed to the training hall connected to the sword battle.
‘It’s just as I heard.’
As Muyeong-gaek had told me, the training ground where the tower was located had a drawing that gave off an ominous energy.
Prosecutors and deacons were standing on the red floor like a hot pot. They looked up at the night sky with blank eyes, as if their souls had escaped them.
‘It’s not just brainwashing.’
The bodies and minds of the magistrates and prosecutors were separated like married people. It seemed as if the mind and body had been isolated through jinbeop and incantation.
Percussion.
As they were about to approach them, the door to Geomhujeon, where Geomhu lived, opened and a woman with long green hair walked out.
“I was wondering if you really came?”
She came down the stairs with a sultry voice.
‘That’s it!’
Baek Woo-jin widened his eyes. Geomhu and Gwon Hwang came out from the open door of Geomhujeon and stuck behind the woman.
The two people with shining blood-red eyes assisted the green-haired woman as if they were servants.
“And not too late.”
“who are you.”
“Poisonous horse.”
Considering that he was given the title ‘Demon’, he seemed to be a subordinate of the Heavenly Demon, who is said to lead the Gate of Destruction.
“You are Baek Woojin, right? “It’s better in real life than on screen.”
The Poison Demon stroked the cheeks of Geomhu and Emperor Gwon, who were standing on either side of him, and curled up his red lips.
“What did you do to those two people?”
“Do you know that he is a Jiangshi?”
She stretched out her arms like a jiangshi in a movie.
“It’s similar to that jiangshi. “I fed it blood filled with poison and magic and turned it into a blood demon that lives and dies at my command.”
“Blood demon…”
“Don’t worry. “I will make you a blood demon who considers listening to my orders as the greatest happiness.”
When Baek Woo-jin raised Seolyeonggeom, the poisonous horse twirled his fingers.
“By the way, if you kill me, they won’t be able to return to their original state, so you’ll have to move carefully.”
She licked Geomhu’s cheek and grinned.
“If you leave them alone, they will become puppets that only follow your instructions.”
“But you’re still alive, right?”
“I didn’t buy that.”
He frowned and stamped his foot.
Quaaaang!
The trampled earth exploded, crushing the green warriors hiding below.
“Did you think a surprise attack like this would work on me?”
“It’s just a casual greeting. “I’m starting to like you more and more?”
Dokma straightened his back and lifted his chin.
“But what are you doing here alone? “Did you think you could save them all by yourself?”
“How do we get them back to normal?”
Baek Woo-jin ignored Dokma’s words and focused his gaze on the red eyes of Geomhu and Gwon Hwang.
“How to return the blood demons to their original state? That’s simple. “We just need to drain the blood poison from their hearts and brains.”
Dokma pointed to his brain and heart with his finger.
“However, blood poison has the property of being sticky like gum. “If it’s not me who owns it, it can never be separated.”
“Hmm….”
Baek Woo-jin unfolded his thin air and examined the inside of Geomhu’s body.
‘There’s definitely something stuck near the heart.’
A strange energy was felt around Geomhu’s heart. As the poisonous horse said, it seemed like blood poison had stuck to it.
“Now that I’ve answered your questions, can we get started?”
Dokma raised a long, thin finger and pointed at himself.
“Suppress him!”
Even before the sound of the voice ended, Geomhu and Gwonwang kicked the ground at the same time. It rushed at a frightening speed, as if it would exert more than its full power.
‘Brainwashing two absolute beings…’
I had never heard of a spell that used swords and fists. It was an incredible ability.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
Dokma sat down on the stairs and crossed his legs.
“My magic controls both mind and body. “No matter how high a warrior he is, he cannot refuse it.”
“You talk too much.”
While keeping an eye on Baek Woo-jin’s poisonous horse, he struck down the Seolyeonggeom towards Geomhu and Emperor Gwon.
Whoa!
The rushing sword strikes of the sword and the fist of the emperor collided with the white sword body, causing a massive explosion.
The two people were not embarrassed, as if they had not been brainwashed. He rotated his body to release the aftereffects of the impact, then fired a second powerful energy.
Coo coo coo coo!
Baek Woo-jin struck down Muryeongcham towards the center of the river that Geomhu and Gwon Hwang were extending out.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
As the three powerful forces clashed, a loud noise erupted as if huge pieces of metal collided.
Even if they adjusted their strength, it was a martial arts attack, and Emperor Gwon and Geomhu swung their swords and fists again like Ottogi without receiving the slightest hit.
‘The power has become stronger.’
There was a reason why Dokma was relaxed even after seeing him.
Geomhu and Gwon Hwang, who became blood demons, were able to use their normal martial arts with greater power.
Whoa!
The sword of the sword floated in the air, and the Emperor Kwon’s whole body was dyed with red energy. Igi gear sword and iron armor. The season for the two has begun.
Kyaggyaggyak!
While attacking the two with Gwangho Island and Suwangmu Yeokun, they looked for signs of the poisonous horse.
‘That’s tricky.’
The poisonous horse can kill you right now.
However, they could not be touched until they confirmed whether they could remove the blood poison that had infiltrated the people’s bodies and found the location of Red Yeonhwa.
‘The good news is that he too is taking his time.’
It’s not just you who is wasting time. The poisonous horse was also waiting for its moment.
‘But it won’t come then.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled an invisible smile and took a step back as if he was being pushed back by the combined efforts of King Kwon and Hwang Kwon.
“Even the martial gods of the world are being defeated by the joint attack of Emperor Kwon and the Queen of Swords. Or is it because we are close friends that we cannot exert our power? These two are ready to kill you. “Are you okay?”
Ignoring the poisonous demon’s mocking voice, each time I bumped into the two people, a little bit of aura flowed into their bodies.
‘Brain and heart.’
What Dokma said was not a lie. Their brains and hearts were full of intense blood.
It was sticky like gum or rubber. It wasn’t a problem for me. Because I have ‘that ability’.
Wooooow!
The sword of the sword was caught in her hand again, making a strong sound.
The white sword and the sword holder seemed to have become one, emitting silver light and exploding a terrifying energy.
Quaaaaa!
Emperor Gwon also gathered his burning energy into one right fist and leaned back. The power compressed in his fist blazed like a small sun.
Quaaaang!
Sword Lord and Emperor Gwon attack the air and rush in at the same time. The two’s fists and swords interlocked like cogs, creating a perfect joint attack.
“Kyaaa!”
The excited exclamation of the poisonous horse was heard.
However, she was not the only one waiting for this elaborate joint venture.
‘now!’
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up and he stretched out his hands.
Percussion!
The moment Emperor Kwon’s fist and Geomhu’s sword aimed at the heart and solar plexus, the two people’s pulse was caught and their thoughts were opened.
Gooooo!
After entering the realm of transcendence, where time flows slowly as if time has stopped, I contemplated the insides of the two people.
The poisonous demon used the Northern Myeong Divine Technique to target the blood poison that had been deposited near the brain and heart of the two people.
Wooooow!
The suction of the Northern Myeong Divine Technique removed the blood poison that was firmly attached like a sucker.
The Northern Myeong Shinkong, who had achieved great success, did something theoretically impossible and sucked out all the blood poison that had taken over the bodies of the Queen of Swords and Emperor Gwon.
Baek Woo-jin removed the blood poison of Geomhu and Emperor Kwon for only a moment when seen from the outside, and then released their wrists.
“Ugh…”
“Ah…”
The blood vessels that had risen on Geomhu and Gwon Hwang’s skin subsided and their eyes returned to their original light.
Fighting.
Baek Woo-jin put the two unconscious people on the floor and looked up at them.
“I won’t need you anymore.”
**
“Hehe.”
Dogma raised his eyebrows as he watched the battle between Baek Woo-jin and Geomhu Geomwang.
‘That’s stupid.’
Baek Woo-jin seemed to be trying to remove the blood poison after subduing those two, but it was just a handshake.
‘You too are becoming addicted.’
The formation on the floor and the red fog that fills this space are all his magic.
Baek Woo-jin has already been poisoned by blood poison without realizing it, and the blood poison is slowly accumulating in his heart and brain.
The warriors who died under Baek Woo-jin’s feet were also a device that made the blood poison progress faster.
‘It’s too young to say it’s over the absolute limit.’
Since everything inside was a trap, he had no doubts about his victory.
‘Now it’s time to collapse.’
After calculating the time, Dokma ordered Geomhu and Emperor Kwon to use the seasons.
It was a plan to raise Baek Woo-jin’s emotions and accelerate his naturalization.
Geomhu and Kwon Hwang used their powers at the same time, and Baek Woo-jin seemed embarrassed and could not move.
“it’s over?”
The corners of the Demon’s mouth, which was smiling like joy, trembled.
“What the hell!”
Geomhu and Gwon, who attacked Baek Woo-jin, fell down as if dead.
‘What’s happening now…’
A human addicted to blood poison becomes a blood demon and must follow his orders without closing his eyes until he dies.
However, Geomhu and Emperor Gwon closed their eyes and collapsed, as if they had returned to their original state. The enlarged blood vessels subsided and the complexion returned.
“What are they doing! “Get up!”
Even though the soul gave them a command that they had no choice but to follow, the two did not react.
‘No way…’
I checked the inside of the sword just in case.
“Huh!”
Dogma couldn’t hide his shocked expression and widened his eyes.
A large amount of blood poison that had been lodged in the brains and hearts of Geomhu and Emperor Gwon disappeared as if they had been washed away.
‘It’s impossible. ‘This is impossible!’
My fingers are shaking. Even if it is a Heavenly Demon, it is impossible to remove the blood poison inside the entity in this short moment.
Moreover, Baek Woo-jin should have already collapsed from being poisoned by blood poison. I had no idea what that guy had done.
“Yes you bastard! What have you done! How about blood poison!”
“Did you say blood poison? “It tastes as bad as its name suggests.”
Baek Woo-jin spit on the floor. The red energy that came out of his mouth pooled on the floor.
‘You absorbed tongue blood poison?’
Blood poison is human poison made up of one’s own blood. My head was dizzy because of the absurdity of absorbing and erasing such a terrible poison.
“Now it’s your turn.”
“profit!”
Dokma gritted her teeth as she saw Baek Woo-jin approaching.
“stop! “If you move even a little, I will kill everyone here!”
But Baek Woo-jin’s footsteps did not stop.
“Do you think it’s a joke? “If you explode the blood poison inside, everyone but you will die… Huh?”
My body didn’t move. I felt like I was stuck in a small box and couldn’t move.
“What have you done to me…”
“I didn’t absorb the blood poison for nothing.”
“Huh!”
Darkness burns in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes. When I saw those sinister eyes, I got goosebumps.
“With my intention, I tied up the blood poison circulating through your body. From now on, you are the puppet.”
He grabbed his left shoulder. And just crushed it.
“Turn it off!”
I was in excruciating pain, but I couldn’t even scream as if I had a gag in my mouth.
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin lowered his hand and lifted his face. When I saw his deeply sunken eyes, I felt like I was going out of my mind.
‘This thing is a monster. Even more than him…’
To endure the blood poisoning and blood poisoning of Hwanhui and blood poisoning while curing the blood poison of Geomhu and Emperor Kwon, even calling him a martial god was not enough.
“The night is long.”
He smiled slightly and put his feet on his knees.
“You will have to tell me everything you know and everything you don’t know.”
Pop!
**
“Woo our guild’s original name is Wongongmun. “30 years ago, I was attacked by the Chinese Association of the Tianmu Meng and the Younghu Guild and fled deep into the Tianshan Mountains.”
The poisonous horse answered with its broken jaw trembling. Her arms and legs hung limp like wet laundry.
“You were attacked? why?”
“Because we were strong.”
“What does that mean?”
Baek Woo-jin tilted his head because he did not understand.
“30 years ago, a monster called Eungryong appeared in this land. “It was a monster that exceeded the level of disaster, so even if a large guild gathered, we could not defeat it.”
“Hmm…”
I shook my head. I had heard of a monster called Eungryong.
“When the association and guild were helplessly pushed back, we stepped forward and cut off Eungryong’s head, ending the 30 days of hell.”
The poisonous horse trembled its neck and continued speaking.
“We didn’t want to be treated like heroes. “He wanted to return to his clan with half of Eungryong’s body and live quietly as before.”
“….”
I listened quietly to Dokma’s words because I thought I knew what he would say next.
“The day when half of Eungryong’s body is handed over. What came to us was not a thank you note, but the sword of Cheon Mu-maeng, Yeonghu, and the Association. “The guys who were afraid of Wen Gongwen’s power attacked us by surprise, saying things that didn’t even sound like they were saying we had borrowed power from the devil.”
“Oh, that guy even back then…”
Even though other people didn’t know, seeing Cheon Mu-maeng’s name come up gave me a certain amount of trust. I think Peng Jihu was trash from then on.
“She’s right.”
A harshly cracked voice came from the right. It was after the examination. She stood up, half-opening her eyes.
“Wengongmun used a special power that was different from ours. “Cheonmu-maeng, Yeonghu, and the Association attacked to rob them of their abilities.”
“It’s just as I said.”
Dokma gritted his teeth while looking at the sword.
“At that time, we lost family, friends, and teachers to humans, not dragons. “This is bloody revenge and it is a trend that no one can stop!”
She glared at herself with eyes filled with murderous intent and anger.
“one thing.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger.
“You kept talking only about the Chunmu Alliance and the Younghu Association. How was the inspection? Did Geomgak also put pressure on you?”
“That…”
Dokma lowered his head, unable to make eye contact with Geomhu, who was looking at him.
“As expected, it looks like Geomgak is not involved in it.”
We already know what kind of person Geomhu is. There was no way she would have attacked them for power.
“You don’t kill swordsmen who have nothing to do with your revenge, but turn them into puppets called blood demons? “What are you different from Chen Mu-Meng?”
“We are different! “He will pay back what was done to him…”
“He is just a monster who is so blinded by revenge that he attacks people who have nothing to do with him.”
“It doesn’t matter! We already made an oath. I will destroy everything belonging to the Association! “Even if I die and end up in hell, I will complete my revenge!”
The poisonous horse laughed even while spitting out black blood. He said that it wouldn’t matter if he died as long as revenge was achieved.
“Where is the red lotus flower? “She really has nothing to do with you.”
“Uhm….”
“Tell me.”
Baek Woo-jin asked the question he was most curious and worried about so far. My heart tightened as I didn’t know what answer I would get.
“Zima took me with him. They said they were preparing for when you came…”
“Jima…”
That’s the name I heard. It is said that he was the one who led the Gate of Destruction until the Heavenly Demon appeared.
“Has she also become a blood demon?”
“Yes. He was brainwashed and sent to prevent him from rejecting Zima’s orders. “For her…”
Dokma answered slowly, unable to meet his eyes.
“A larger amount of blood poison was injected than Gwon Hwang and Geomhu.”
“I guess you were planning to explode with her when I rescued Jeok Yeon-hwa.”
“….”
The poison horse did not reply, but that was enough.
It was clear that Jima knew about his relationship with Jeok Yeon-hwa and was planning to explode with blood poison when he tried to save her.
‘Why…’
When I heard that Jeok Yeon-hwa was dragged away because of me, my stomach boiled as if I was pretending.
“I have nothing to say about her. But I don’t regret it. Our revenge will continue until the end…”
Damn!
Baek Woo-jin did not listen to everything Dokma said and cut off her head.
“Ah…”
Dokma’s chin trembled as he clutched his neck where a red line had formed.
“You don’t regret it? Then I will make you regret it.”
Death looked straight into the eyes of the young poisonous horse and continued speaking.
“For messing with me and her.”
“You, you…”
The poisonous horse fell backwards without even a scream. Fear was etched in her eyes before she could even close them.
Baek Woo-jin looked down at the corpse of the poisonous horse and headed towards the place where Geomhu and Gwon Hwang were.
“Are you okay?”
“Uhm….”
“I’m fine.”
Geomhu, who had already woken up, and Kwon Hwang, who had just woken up, also held their temples and shook their heads to see if they had a headache.
“I’m sorry. “Even though I knew it was you, I couldn’t stop.”
Emperor Kwon frowned and lowered his head.
“it’s okay.”
“How did you get here?”
“Information came into the black market. I heard that someone named Cheonma attacked Geomgak and Yeonghu’s guild…”
“Has Yeonghu’s guild collapsed as well?”
“It is said that there is not a single foundation stone left there.”
“Then the other children…”
Geomhu stood up, biting his lip until it bled.
“Most of them are safe. “There will be some aftereffects.”
“Thank you! “A benefactor!”
Even though Geomhu had just woken up and was out of his mind, he lowered his head and turned to where Geomgak’s disciples were.
“Yeo Yeonhwa! “I’m sure Yeonhwa will be safe too, right?”
Jeok Wei-jin’s lips trembled.
“Why aren’t you saying anything! “Where is Yeonhwa?”
“I was taken away by them.”
“Are you going to be dragged away? To a guy named Cheonma?”
“yes.”
“You fucking bastards!”
A swear word that did not suit him came out of Kwon Hwang’s mouth.
“Aaaah!”
He tried to stand up with a roar-like scream, but he lost strength and fell down again.
“Hey, Red House Lord!”
“Ugh!”
Even when Geomhu tried to stop him, he stood up. However, he collapsed without being able to take a single step.
“she is.”
Baek Woo-jin sat in front of Kwon Hwang, who was trembling with anger. He made eye contact with him, who was filled with anger, and clenched his fists.
“I will bring him.”
