Chapter 88

From episode 88, when the umbilical cord was cut.

Geommuyang, who had washed off the blood, was standing in front of Donggyeong and helping Sibi put on new clothes.

He wore a thin robe over his bare body that protected him from sword attacks. On top of that, I layered a slightly thicker robe. He showed his obsession with death, at least to Mabul.

Mabul was sitting on a chair and watching.

There was a possibility that he would complain about bringing in the Yunnan twins, but Geommuyang didn’t say anything. Mabul could tell he was angry.

“Gongja Lee...”

Originally, I was going to start the story by saying, ‘You’ve changed so much.’ But I changed my words when I thought it was too obvious.

“...What kind of person are you?”

In longing, Geommuyang answered.

“I thought I knew my younger brother well, but now I see I don’t really know. I wasn’t this kind of kid to begin with...”

“You need to forget about the past!”

Suddenly, Mabul raised his voice, and Sibi, who was touching her collar, scratched Geummuyang’s neck with her fingernails.

“oh! “I’m sorry, please save me.”

The husband and wife knelt down on the spot and asked for forgiveness. The atmosphere cooled down in an instant.

“Why would I kill you for something like this?”

Geommuyang spoke softly, but Mabul coldly intervened.

“But you can’t kill him, right? You saved the life of a woman who damaged the body of the person who would become the Heavenly Demon? “How funny would other people look at you if they heard about it?”

Shibi pleaded earnestly.

“please! “Please save me!”

Geommuyang helped her up.

“Everyone makes mistakes. “Stop going out.”

“Thank you, Confucius. thank you.”

Shibi left the room.

“You should not be seen as easily forgiving the mistakes of your subordinates. “You should at least punish me.”

Then Geommuyang suddenly asked.

“Did you ask what kind of person your brother is?”

“Yes, I did.”

“If something like this happens, this is the child who will buy food for the surprised child. “He was a warm-hearted child from a young age.”

“But you shouldn’t let down your guard.”

“I’m not saying this to encourage you to let down your guard. “Didn’t you see the Mugeuk people earlier?”

The longing gaze that had been looking towards Mabul turned towards Geommuyang himself.

“Honestly, I was a little jealous.”

Mabul sometimes thought that this Geommuyang was unpredictable.

Even though you handle things clearly and calmly, there are times when you suddenly reveal your true feelings like this.

While I was thinking about how to react, Geommuyang walked over and sat down in front of Mabul. He poured the cooled tea into a teacup and drank it.

“What are you so worried about, Mazon?”

“Igongja’s skills are great, but more than anything, Hyeolcheondoma is a cunning old man. The fact that he chose a bachelor of science and engineering clearly means that there was a good reason. “Maybe it’s because he bought Sibi a meal, or there’s something else we don’t know about.”

Then Geommuyang said something unexpected.

“I think the answer is my father.”

Mabul was surprised at those words.

“What do you mean?”

“My father pushed Mugeuk while I was away. He lowered the dark magic sword and placed him in the position of the Nether Pillar. I’m trying to test how I can deal with Mugeuk, who has gained strength. “I think this is the final test to become a successor.”

For a moment, I thought that might be the case, but Mabul then shook his head.

“That won’t be it. In the process of Lee Gong-ja jumping up, the soul mazon died. “The cause of death is said to have been poisoned by coins, but there are many things that are unclear.”

At first, I believed the Pungcheon cult leader’s words that it was not the work of a sword dance, but I no longer believed it.

“It could have been Lee Gong-gong’s doing. Still, do you think it is a test from the religious leader? “The sect leader cherished Seophon as the main force of the school.”

“I guess my father didn’t expect it to go that far either. “Mugeuk has capabilities that exceed his father’s expectations.”

“Then did Li Gongzi really kill the Nie Soul Mazon?”

Then Geommuyang asked a question instead of an answer.

“Can the Mazon kill the Subsoul Mazon?”

“Of course I can... kill!”

A moment’s hesitation tells you what kind of skill the Soul Mazon has. Mabul was also an opponent that he had no confidence in as much as Subsoul Mazon.

“you’re right. He could have killed Mabul. “It probably wasn’t easy.”

After saving Mabul’s face, Geommuyang continued what he had originally wanted to say.

“Neither I nor Mugeuk can kill the Subsoul Mazon with our current martial arts skills. “But it might be possible with the help of just one person.”

The Nine Walls of Magical Tools.

The Magogu Wall was the school’s secret training center hidden in the outskirts.

My father opened the place to my older brother. Just like Socheon-dong, the Magic Wall could only be entered with the permission of the Heavenly Demon.

It was really not easy to overcome the magic tool wall. It was a gateway one level higher than Socheon-dong, which I passed through earlier. However, I was able to give up halfway through the magic tool wall and get out. It could be seen as a safer but more difficult gateway.

Sima Ming was also very happy.

“I would like to reduce it, Grand Duke. Passing through the magic wall. “It seems like you really can’t fool blood.”

My older brother is also the one who inherited my father’s blood. His martial arts talent was second to none.

I asked, pretending not to know.

“Where did you pass through?”

Then Sima Ming smiled and said.

“The Grand Duke passed through the magic wall.”

I hugged Warak.

“Amazing bro!”

My father and Sima Ming were startled by my actions. Rather, my older brother, who was the person involved, accepted my congratulations obediently because he had experienced my change.

“thanks.”

“Then you must have achieved great success in the Bicheon Sword Technique?”

If it were just the two of us, I wouldn’t have answered, but since my father was there, my brother answered honestly. Of course, he didn’t do it to me, he did it to my father.

“In the process of passing through my father’s magic tool wall, I also achieved great success in the Bicheon Sword Technique.”

“Congratulations.”

“It’s all thanks to my father’s teachings. “Thank you, father.”

My father’s eyes turned to my brother and me.

What is your father thinking right now?

“I will reduce the number, Grand Duke.”

“Thank you, soldier.”

“Congratulations, brother.”

“thanks.”

“In this friendly atmosphere, I have something to say to your father.”

My eyes turned to my father.

“For us, the cutting of the umbilical cord was the signal that the battle for succession had begun. It was that kind of life, and I will continue to live that kind of life. So that’s it. Dad, this time I’m going to have a friendly competition with my brother. “What do you think?”

Instead of answering me, my brother spoke to my father.

“Father, I didn’t know that Mugeuk had grown so much while I was away. “He really showed his maturity.”

My father just looked down at us in silence. What are you thinking? Even at this moment, are you keeping score on who will be a suitable successor?

My father didn’t say anything about what I said. Friendly competition? If you were with me, you might have said that it was just a cheap sentiment worth dying for.

However, the reason I insisted on saying it was because I also told my father. He said he would try to carry his brother.

“You guys go back and get some rest.”

My brother and I said hello to our father and left Cheonmajeon on foot along the path of blood.

I asked at the entrance.

“Brother, why do you want to become the Heavenly Demon?”

Then my brother blurted out.

“Because if I don’t become the Heavenly Demon, I die.”

I thought my brother would have given a different answer, but it was a very surprising answer.

“Are you going to die if you lose the succession battle?”

“Everyone is dead so far.”

“Can’t we just not kill him? “The Geommuyang Geomdugeuk brothers demonstrate a brotherly love that will forever be remembered in the history of the Demonic Church.”

“Do you think the other brothers didn’t feel the same way? In the end... all humans betray.”

“Why don’t we do it?”

Geommuyang chuckled at my words and took the first step.

I shouted to my brother who was walking far away.

“I was serious. Let’s compete in good faith.”

My brother stopped walking, turned to me and said.

“Then you should have first asked whether I had any good intentions in my heart. Are you there?”

“I have.”

“Then I’ll have a head start in this fight.”

I finally smiled as I watched my brother walking again.

Well, how could this be easy? It’s so difficult to make someone who likes me become my person.

‘But we have to do it, brother. The name of the dagger that will stab us in the back is not brotherhood, but Hwamugi.’
