Chapter 169

[No business in Daguri (3)-Savior]

The training center of the Heavenly Demon Church.

There was not a single speck of light in it. Instead, dense darkness dominated the space.

Tsutsutsutsu.

It was not natural darkness. Originally, the ceiling of the training center was studded with night poles so that training could be done at night.

But

‘I can’t hear it.’

The demonic energy that flowed from a man’s body swallowed up all the light in the cave.

‘Simma’s voice…’

In the middle of the training center, the religious leader was sitting cross-legged like a stone statue. He closed his eyes and did not move for two days.

For a moment, the cult leader’s eyebrows trembled.

‘Has Simma… disappeared?’

Twitch.

After three days, the corner of the religious leader’s mouth moved. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled, as if waking up from a long sleep.

White steam escaped from the mouth.

“Whoa…”

It felt like decades. The sect leader often fought against Simma, who came to control his mind.

-Do you want power?

-Do you want to rule the world?

-Do you want an eternal name?

-Accept me. Then you will achieve it all!

Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of times I wanted to leave everything to that guy and feel comfortable.

Each time, the leader gritted his teeth and endured.

‘It wasn’t that I didn’t expect Simma from the beginning. ‘Do you think I wasn’t prepared?’

Ever since he decided to conquer the martial arts on his own instead of waiting for an indefinite savior, the leader has been learning the art of reverse blood magic little by little.

Reverse blood magic.

A failed work created by the founder of the Heavenly Demon while he was creating the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Its power was so great that it surpassed the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique, but its side effects were so serious that it was banned.

However, all past religious leaders knew the benefits of reverse blood magic and studied it for a long time, thinking that one day they would be able to eliminate the side effects of reverse blood magic.

The same was true for the current Cheonma Cult leader Cheon Muhan.

And only now was he sure.

‘I succeeded!’

Chun Muhan slowly stood up. Simma’s voice was no longer heard. My mind was clear and my body felt lighter than ever.

“Suuuuu…”

The leader took a deep breath. His chest swelled greatly.

The demonic energy that filled the training room was sucked into his nose and mouth. As the darkness disappeared, light began to return little by little inside the training center.

Cheon Muhan looked at the ceiling with red bloodshot eyes.

“I… overcame Simma. “Kkkkkkk.”

After three days, the voice that came out of my mouth became very cracked.

Half of the leader’s hair turned white, and his eyes turned red as blood vessels burst. It wasn’t normal.

“Hehehe….”

However, the leader could not see his changed appearance. Even if I had seen it in a mirror, I wouldn’t have cared. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Because crazy people don’t think they’re crazy.

“Kkeukkeuk….”

Laughter naturally escaped from the unbearable pleasure and joy. At the same time, the image of my grandfather, who had become old and ugly, came to mind.

The leader muttered to himself.

“I am different from that old man. I subdued Simma. This means that the shortcomings of the reverse blood magic attack were eliminated and it was made perfect. For the first time in the history of Protestantism…. So I….”

Floating.

The cult leader’s body rose into the air. The demonic energy that bloomed in his body spread out in all directions.

Power overflowing throughout your body! I felt like I could do anything I set my mind to.

Smirk.

A bizarre smile appeared on the head’s lips.

“I became a true person of all time and money. Kkeukkeuk….”

The Heavenly Demon Cult leader stretched out his hand to the ceiling. A black force stretched out from his hand and collapsed the ceiling.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The religious leader flew up above the collapsed ceiling. Hearing the heavy drinking, warriors and ordinary believers of the Heavenly Demon Church came flocking.

“Church leader?”

“Are you from the training center?”

Murmur.

The leader smiled bitterly as he looked at the humans gathered like insects at his feet.

“Kkeukkeuk….”

The magic energy that spewed out from his body created dark clouds in the sky.

Lightning struck between the gathering dark clouds.

-Kwarung! Crumbling!

Lightning bolts struck the ground one after another. The warriors and believers scattered in all directions, screaming.

“Ugh!”

“It’s lightning!”

The Heavenly Demon Cult looked down at that pitiful sight and burst into wild laughter.

“Khahahahahaha-!!”

I felt like I had become a god.

At that moment, the leader thought he had become one with Mazda.

“Mazda…”

Just then, I saw the incarnation of Mazda flying from the opposite direction.

A girl caught red-handed. A sacred being that broke through the torch. God’s proof and promise….

“Kkeukkeuk.” Right. “It was something like that.”

The leader only now realized why the girl appeared in front of him that day.

“Mazda chose me. “I am…”

A vicious demonic energy flowed from the Heavenly Demon Cult leader’s eyes.

“He is a savior.”

After hearing the news, the great elder and the minor sect leader came running and were looking up at the sect leader from below with worried eyes.

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult, who caught a glimpse of them, shouted loudly so that all the cultists could hear.

“I am your savior! “He is the savior who will conquer the martial arts and make it our paradise!”

A savior from the scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Church.

A messenger from God who will one day appear and take them back to paradise.

He must have been that savior.

“Khahahahaha-!”

The loud voice of the Heavenly Demon Cult leader spread throughout the Heavenly Demon Cult. Warriors with weak stamina had to cover their ears with their hands.

After a while, the religious leader got down to the ground and walked towards the elder. Lily quickly stood next to the elder.

Grumble!

A huge firework bloomed in the sky. It was Lily’s warning that if you attack the Grand Elder, you will not be left alone.

The religious leader acted as if he had not seen the flame. he asked the elder.

“Are you ready for war?”

“…There is one day left to make it to three days.”

The great elder thought that the religious leader would threaten him to finish preparations for the war immediately. But surprisingly, the leader nodded obediently.

“I’ll wait a day.”

After saying that, the cult leader glanced at Lily, chuckled, and turned around.

The shadow of the sect leader, who turned around and headed towards Gyojujeon, shimmered like the devil of hell in the flames above.

***

The Church of the Heavenly Demon does not only have warriors.

Rather, the number of ordinary believers working for a living was greater.

They farm and hunt in barren lands, hide their identities, go to the central plains, do business, and earn money to feed tens of thousands of believers.

“Mazdashi….”

“So that my son can return safely….”

“Please make sure my husband doesn’t get hurt….”

Inside the Great Temple of the Heavenly Demon Church.

Before the departure ceremony, believers with husbands, children, siblings, or parents gathered together to pray.

They all prayed earnestly to God to keep their family safe.

“My son. Please just let him come back alive….”

“Please. please.”

The Great War was a blood-stained history that was constantly repeated.

When the power of the Church of the Heavenly Demon grew stronger or, conversely, when the Murim Alliance became too large, the Great Demon War would break out.

There were many wars over hundreds of years, but never once did one power destroy or completely dominate the other.

Everyone knew the history. Because of this, the believers had no choice but to be anxious.

‘It will be different this time.’

‘This is a war in which even the Avatar is with us…’

‘Please, if only my son would return safely…’

Outside the temple, the religious leader was raising the morale of the warriors with a speech. The words “conquer the Wulin” and “savior” were often heard in the ears of the believers in the temple.

It was at that time that Lily, who was bored with the departure ceremony, entered the temple.

“What are you doing here?”

The surprised believers quickly knelt down and fell flat.

““See you, Mazda!””

Lily felt uncomfortable with the behavior of such people.

“Do not. I am God…”

Kyaaa!

[You know you shouldn’t say it’s not God, right? Even if you tell the truth, do it later. Those people will only become anxious.]

“…….”

Lily eventually changed what she was going to say, following the advice of Abraxas, who was faithful to her role as a scarf as always.

“…God, but I’m younger, so don’t kneel. Everyone, wake up!”

“How dare you…”

“We feel comfortable doing this!”

For those who didn’t straighten their knees until the end, Lily used the last resort.

“I command you in the name of God! Wake up! Won’t you wake up? “Then you will be punished?”

“Huh!”

It was quite a sight to see the believers jumping up and down. Lily then nodded, seemingly satisfied.

Lily, with her hands on her hips, looked around at the prisoners and spoke seriously.

“Does anyone have any snacks?”

[This little villain…]

Abraxas looked at Lily with an expression of bewilderment.

“If you don’t mind, this is it…”

A boy around Lily’s age came forward holding a confectionery.

“thank you!”

Lily put the confectionery in her mouth, ate it, and ate it. It wasn’t as sweet as the candy on Earth, but it was still pretty sweet.

“Hey Mazda…”

The boy who handed the sweets to him didn’t go back, hesitating in his place and looking at Lily.

Lily noticed something and muttered with a troubled expression.

“I don’t have any money…”

[Did you plan on paying?]

The boy said, closing his eyes tightly.

“That’s not it. “Please bless my father so he doesn’t die!”

Fortunately, it wasn’t a big deal. Phew. Lily sighed, nodded and said.

“What is your father’s name?”

“This is Kang Il-yong!”

The boy told his father’s name and affiliation. Lily pronounced the name clearly.

“Uncle Kang Il-yong will not die. don’t worry.”

“Thank you… Thank you so much…”

The boy bowed repeatedly to Lily with tears in his eyes.

It was from then on. Many believers began to gather around Lily.

“Hey Mazda!”

“My husband’s name is just once….”

“My son is Kang Chang-sik!”

“This is So Tae-ryong!”

In an instant, the flock of believers surrounded Lily. Among them, there was a warm hand offering sweets and rice cakes.

Lily snatched the snacks with her hands, which had become faster after learning martial arts, and spoke each person’s name with her mouth.

“Kang Chang-sik! So Tae-ryong! Joo Mo-chang! Full-time…. Wait a minute! “There are too many!”

Lily floated into the sky. The warrior’s family, whose name had not yet been called, looked up at the girl with earnest eyes.

Lily told them with confidence.

“No one will die. Because you will save everything.”

“…Are you talking about the savior?”

Someone asked that.

saver.

It is written in the scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Religion that if you believe in God and wait hard, a savior will come one day and take everyone back to paradise.

“yes!”

Lily nodded. Lily also read the scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Church. To be precise, Abraxas read it to him, saying it was necessary to act as a god.

[saver. It is a being that appears in many religions. Most of the so-called saviors of reality are pseudo-believers, but…]

“He’s someone who helps poor, good people, right?”

[…okay. I know what you’re thinking.]

Lily knew only two people like that.

One is Santa Claus.

And the other said,

“That’s the old man.”

Lily said with confidence. However, the believers were still anxious and muttering.

“When you say savior, do you mean the religious leader?”

“Yesterday, the cult leader said he was the savior…”

“But the scriptures say that the savior will come from paradise…”

Outside, the Cheonma cult leader was still boosting the morale of the warriors. The religious leader’s loud voice echoed throughout the temple.

-Let’s wipe out the hypocrites of political factions!

Wow!

The leader’s voice rang loudly, and the warriors shouted in unison.

Foot stamping, drumming, and the heat of war spread everywhere.

The more this happened, the more worried the family inside the temple became.

Lily wanted to reassure them. So the girl put her index finger to her lips and said.

“Shh. “This is a secret.”

Outside the temple, 20,000 warriors began to march at once. One of the water guards sent by the cult leader was seen running to the temple to pick up Lily.

“You can’t go somewhere else and talk about it. “Okay?”

Nod. All the believers in the temple waited for Lily to open her mouth.

“Actually, the savior is someone else.”

“!!”

Before the surprised believers could react, Lily flew through the sky and left in the direction where the warriors were marching.

The water escort who was coming to pick up Lily saw that and turned around again.

After they disappeared, a reaction like a bomb exploded among the believers.

“They’re all different people!”

“So does that mean the savior is really coming?”

“Are we going to paradise?”

“That doesn’t make sense…”

Lily said it was a secret, but hundreds of people had already heard it.

‘Who on earth is that savior?’

In this way, the rumor about the savior quickly spread among the remaining members of the Heavenly Demon Church.

***

[This is Chick. Headquarters Eagle! Respond! The rotten chicken has just arrived!]

Daein sighed as he heard Lily’s message.

“I came here after watching some strange spy drama…”

Even the code names are all birds.

chick. eagle. Rotten chicken.

It was a good thing that the Murim people could not understand Korean.

[Are the eagles listening? We’ve just left, Oba!]

As if she could see what was going on around her, Lily whispered softly into the communicator.

Regardless of the code name, Lily’s role was very important.

Because of their location, the leader of the small church and the elder are not able to contact each other often.

Daein decided to play along with Lily’s spy game.

“This is the eagle. chick. Report the situation once every five minutes. And did you put a location tracker on the cult leader’s clothes?”

[I put it on my shoulder while pretending to give a blessing earlier!]

Anyway, Code Name Chick was good at what he did.

At that time, Lily spoke in a worried voice.

[But what if people think I’m weird because I talk to myself a lot?]

“It’s okay because you always look weird.”

[oh! Rotten chicken is coming! I’ll hang up for now, Oba!]

Suddenly,

after confirming that communication had been cut off, Daein shook his head and looked back.

Geomsung was standing there with a grin.

“How are you? “My student said he would be there if he went here.”

“Luckily you arrived in time. But the two people next to me…” A

large middle-aged man carrying a sword on his back and a sharp-looking middle-aged man carrying five spears were standing on either side of the swordsman.

“hmm. “Is it this guy?”

“It’s pretty good.”

Although he had never seen them in person, he knew who they were.

“…I understand without you having to introduce me. “How did you come here?”

The three days of the world come together. This was something that even Daein could not have expected.

“My younger brothers came to visit and received the letter you sent. “He must have been curious when I told him I was going to meet you, so he followed me.”

“It’s so big. “Please speak carefully.”

“We are also over 130 years old.” As the

myths of the

Sword Saint, Moyonghon

, Daowang, Jeokgunyang,

Shinchang, and Ma Junggi were gathered in one place, a great aura was exuded.

Of course, that was only for a moment. In the first place, he was a Daein, not a martial artist. Even though it was the third time in the world, it was no more than three very strong old men.

The great man spoke cheerfully to the king and Sinchang.

“It just so happened. “If you two help me, things will be much easier.”

“Whose will it be? “Didn’t we say we would help?”

The King of Dao snorted and wriggled his thick eyebrows.

However, as Daein’s explanation continued, even he could not continue to bounce.

“The Heavenly Demon of the time is in such a state…”

Shinchang muttered with a serious expression. He looked at the great man with sharp eyes and said.

“So what is the operation?”

“It’s simple.”

The great man grinned.

The original plan was a little more complicated, but with the arrival of two more people, it became very simple.

“We will lure the Heavenly Demon here and beat him until he comes to his senses.”

The place where the four people were was a canyon surrounded by strangely shaped cliffs.
