Chapter 246
Chapter 246. Today’s Fortune (5)
Demon Brain knew that his knowledge, which transcended human cognition, could not be fully passed down to a single person, so he raised disciples who would each inherit one portion of that knowledge.
Those were the Seven Demon Wisdom Lords.
Je Geum-hak was the bastard who occupied the seat of the Vicious Lord among those Seven Demon Wisdom Lords.
Of all the Seven Demon Wisdom Lords, it had to be this bastard.......
Ẃеb̀ň ò v̂ e l̇ Е̇ǹùm̌a
He was also the bastard who would later kill Jegal So-myeong, the Grand Strategist of the Murim Alliance, and play a decisive role in collapsing the Murim Alliance.
To think I would run into a bastard I had never once faced in my past life, standing right before me like this in this life.

Did this make any sense in terms of probability?
Surely Il-myeong had not cursed me just because I had joked a little about Mind-Reading Art?
Unless that was the case, this could not happen.
“......Hmm. Just what is your identity, Black Flame Dragon?”
E n̈u m̌ а̇ .i d̄
Gun Yu-hyeon...... no, Vicious Lord Je Geum-hak tilted his head.
“Not only the Twin-Shadow Vicious Demon Brigade, but even the Devouring Gauntlet and my identity....... How did you know?”
“......”
If only there were a disease that killed people from curiosity. Then I would not have to deal with that bastard.

At my silence, he slowly nodded.
“As expected, you will not answer?”
E̊nu m̈ a . і̀ d̃
Crack, crack. Crack.
Je Geum-hak straightened his bent fingers, then began gathering different energies in each hand.
“You will want to speak soon enough.”
These damned bastards. I had heard that even Wudang’s Two Principles Heart Method could not handle two clearly different energies like that.
But I could not keep spewing complaints forever.
No one was going to appear and solve this for me just because I complained.

He began merging the two different energies into one.
Even though Fire Qi and Water Qi, two mutually opposing energies, had met, by some strange harmony, the energy I felt grew even vaster.
It looked impossibly ominous, like a lit Thunderbolt Bomb.
Three Forms of the White Moon Governing Heaven.
First Form.
‘Extreme Swiftness’

I attacked him while he was taking time.
At the very least, I thought he would not be able to use the Devouring Gauntlet while both hands were occupied.

WHOOSH—
The Sword Qi pierced through the air and tried to cut down his chest.
Clap—
He brought both hands together.

At that moment.
PIIING—
An enormous energy stretched out, filling the space.
“Kuaaaaaak!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
This was not something that could be endured by using inner arts.
The attack came flying by pushing away space itself, and it was so great that it did not lose out even compared to the Radiant Heaven Divine Palm.
W е̊b n̂о̀v̄ ē l. Ӗ n u_m̈а̇
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Perhaps because of the space’s restrictions, the explosion could not spread outward and instead rebounded inward.
The impact of the explosion that returned inside struck so hard that it felt as though every bone in my body was being crushed into pieces.
‘Insane.......’
If Dam-ak took this attack, there was no way he could survive.
I quickly turned and protected Dam-ak from the impact.

“Just what are you......?”
Dam-ak looked at me with eyes that seemed unable to understand what I was doing.
Honestly, I did not really know either.
If I died here anyway, what did it matter whether Dam-ak survived or died?
But in any case, Dam-ak was the one who had prolonged the Murim Alliance’s life in place of Jegal So-myeong during that desperate Great Righteous-Demonic War.
My body naturally moved toward him.

From beyond my burning back, Je Geum-hak’s mocking voice reached me.
“Trying to save one who may become your enemy. Is that the Black Flame Dragon’s chivalrous righteousness?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Chivalrous righteousness? I wonder. Had I ever dreamed of being a chivalrous hero?
Around this time in my past life, when Gye Cheol-yeong had helplessly stolen my place in the Special Admission Track, I had long since abandoned my dream of being a chivalrous hero.
“I don’t move because of something like chivalrous righteousness.”
As if stirred by my Intent, the Taeul True Scripture shifted angrily and slowly lowered the heat on my burning back.
Е_nu mâ._і d
Thankfully, the damage was light thanks to the Heavenly Silkworm Treasure Robe I had received from Wang Geum-san.
A sneer formed on my lips without my realizing it.
“I move by spite.”
Even if Dam-ak became my enemy, if he could screw over the Demonic Cult in my place, I was willing to risk my life for him.

“Die, you bastard!”
With my left hand, I scattered the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist, and with my right, the Twin Heaven Sword Formula, pressing him hard.
W êb̃ ño v̈ e̊ l̃ E ǹ ū m̈ а
Je Geum-hak continued to raise ice walls to block the Sword Qi, while flicking his fingers to disperse the true swords and Fist Force hidden within the illusions.
The moment my attacks stopped, he would surely pour out fireballs and counterattack.
I had roughly calculated what method that bastard used to fight.
TING— TING— TING-TING-TING-TING.
As I had expected, Je Geum-hak moved and dispersed the true swords and Fist Force, and the moment a fireball gathered in his left hand.
I threw the Black Dragon Sword to attack the fireball, and at the same time, I stepped with the Taeul Eighty-Thousand Divine Steps and took position behind him.

The bastard, who had maintained his calm, shouted,
“As if I would fall for such a clumsy attack......!”
And the moment he raised an ice wall and turned his head.
HISSSSSS!
I drew out the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand I had prepared with all my power and pierced through the ice wall.
“What is this......!”
Е̌nüm̈ȧ
“Did you think you were the only one who could handle Fire Qi?”
The ice wall became steam and vanished instantly under the blazing heat of the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand, and his chest opened wide.

However, when Je Geum-hak blocked one of my Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hands with the Devouring Gauntlet, the heat flickering in my hand instantly shrank down and disappeared without a trace.
Wow, this is really impossible to deal with.
Still.......
“I still have one hand left!”
Е n̊ǔ ḿа._i_d
I stretched out my remaining hand with all my might.
One Demon-Extinguishing Hand was blocked by the Devouring Gauntlet, and just as I tried to pierce his heart with the remaining hand.
“Do you think I will let you do as you please?”
Je Geum-hak countered the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand with the fireball flickering in his own hand.

Fwoooosh.
Two flames spread out with perfect precision, as if dividing the space in half.
Е̌ n ǔ_m а . і́d̂
“What the......”
Je Geum-hak’s eyes trembled as though he could not believe it.
Soon, the enormous pressure that began in his hand slipped out of control and exploded in every direction.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
I desperately raised my inner arts and protected my face.
I felt the blazing heat sweep across my arms, shoulders, legs, and thighs.

When the bright light faded, the scene of the revealed space was different from before.
Black holes had formed in the crimson walls that had stood like barriers, and the interior was now filled only with ashes, with nothing left to burn.
I quickly examined my body.
Aside from small burns, I was not badly injured anywhere.
I hurriedly picked up the Black Dragon Sword and checked Dam-ak’s condition.
“Are you all right?”
Е n ǔ m a
“......”
As expected, Dam-ak had already passed out.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
At least he was still breathing, so that was fortun—
Twitch, twitch.
At the sudden presence, I turned my head.
“Bullshit.......”
Ėṅ úm ӑ .і̀ d̂
Huh, he is still alive?
Je Geum-hak’s body, which had collapsed after turning into black ash, was twitching.
And it did not stop there.
Drop, drop. Drop, drop.

The black ash fell away one piece at a time, and Je Geum-hak slowly stood.
This is seriously fucked.

His lips slowly opened.
“......Hoo.”
Crack— Crack—
Je Geum-hak rose and loosened his body and shoulders.
Though the explosion had blown away all his clothes, there was not even a small burn mark left on his body.
“The trajectory of this martial art has aspects similar to our cult’s. What does this mean?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a thousand blessings that Dam-ak had passed out.
In truth, if I died here anyway, what did any of that matter?
Still, the fact that I was worrying about something like this was proof that I desperately wanted to live.
As I was quietly looking down at Dam-ak, the crease between Je Geum-hak’s brows deepened.
“......Are you perhaps an illegitimate child of our cult?”
This bastard had gone way too far.
Е ǹ u m а̃ .ǐ_ḋ
“If that is the case, perhaps we should speak a little more......”
Since I was too dumbfounded to answer, the bastard seemed to take it as affirmation.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“Why is this damned bastard turning a perfectly decent person into an illegitimate son?!”
A tedious war of attrition began again.
He blocked my attacks, and wounds began appearing one by one on my body.
It looked as though our combat strength was similar, but in truth, that bastard did not seem to be consuming inner arts at all.
Еňu ḿ ӑ . і̄.d
On the contrary, I had to pour out my inner arts with all my might and exhaust my stamina just to barely defend against his attacks.
‘At this rate.......’
I shook my head as I began thinking something bad.
Negative thoughts were no help in a situation like this.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
They would only drain what energy I still had.
I should think of something good instead...... something good...... I can’t. Damn it.

At that moment.
Crackle, crackle.
Between the blackened Mystic Gate Formation, golden light flashed, and a shiny bald head revealed its face.
“Benefactor Jin...... just what is this place......?”
It was the most welcome bald head of my life.
PING—
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I quickly shot out the Flying Dragon Claw, snatched Dam-ak, and threw him to Il-myeong.
The bald man, who received Dam-ak in confusion, shouted in panic,
“B-Benefactor Jin! If you suddenly throw this(?) at me, how can I help......?”
You getting out of here is helping!
Not long after Dam-ak’s body slipped through the gap Il-myeong had made, the black hole turned crimson once again.
A sneer sounded behind me.

“How foolish. You would have had a higher chance of surviving if you had been the one to escape.”
Je Geum-hak shook his head as if regretful.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But I was not fooled.
If I got trapped inside the Mystic Gate Formation while trying to leave, dealing with this bastard would become even more troublesome.
There was no way that bastard had installed a Mystic Gate Formation he himself did not know.
I answered with a sneer of my own.
En̂ ūmâ . і̆ d
“How kind, a cat worrying about a mouse.”
Because that was their true nature.

Blood Battle, who had been in Dam-ak’s residence, deeply furrowed his brow.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Should we not go in? Half an hour has already passed.”
He had come all the way to Dam-ak’s residence at Jin So-un’s request, but for some reason, Jin So-un had only told them to stop anyone coming in from outside.
W е̇ b̌ n̊ о̀ v е l̃ Еn̄ ü ma
Dang Seo-hui firmly shook her head.
“Jin So-un is not someone who would have us do something meaningless.”
“Hm?”
Dang Seo-hui, whose eyes usually looked blank enough that one could not tell what she was thinking, began taking out various mother-of-pearl bottles and throwing knives from her clothes and holding them in her hands.
Then even Ak Byeong-bi, who had not yet fully recovered, gripped an iron spear and prepared to fight.
Blood Battle asked without realizing it,

“What do you mean?”
“Jin So-un said a dangerous person would come here.”
“A dangerous person?”
Blood Battle expanded his Sensory Perception, but only clumsy Black Path martial artists were passing around this area.
Yet she said there was a dangerous person.
WHOOSH.

At that moment, Flame Ghost Consort started in alarm and began raising Fire Qi in both hands.
“Below.”

“Below?”
The moment Blood Battle lowered his head.
The shadows flickering under the torchlight began changing into a strange shape.
The moment he sensed something was wrong and kicked off the ground.
Е n̈u̇ m̀а̊
SHK-SHK-SHK-SHK──
Black blades sprang out and attacked them.
“......These damned bastards!”
Blood Battle shook off the blood flowing from his ankle bone and expressed his fury.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
However, unlike usual, he did not recklessly kick.
With that single exchange just now, he had realized that these bastards were not easy opponents.
Е̃ ň um̂ а̀. іḋ
The blade that had aimed for Blood Battle’s ankle slowly disappeared into the shadow, and then black forms began wriggling into existence around them.
Beings wrapped from head to toe in black cloth.
The torches flickered and sent out light, yet for some reason, nothing could be seen inside the long robes pulled over their heads.
“Who are you bastards?!”
“......”
The bastards did not answer Blood Battle’s growl, not even with silence that had meaning behind it.

Close to ten of them split in half, and one half tried to enter the Mystic Gate Formation.
Blood Battle and his companions quickly rushed at them, but the unexpected attacks of the remaining half of the long-robed figures blocked the group.
“What is this......?”
Each of their long robes suddenly flared wide, then absorbed and diverted both fireballs and Force Qi.
While Blood Battle’s group’s attacks were absurdly blocked, half of the long-robed figures entered the Mystic Gate Formation.
“How dare...... these bastards!”
W е b̊.ñ ȯ_v ě l̆ Е n̂ú m а
Red blood energy began flickering around Blood Battle’s right foot, from which blood was flowing.
Dang Seo-hui, who was watching the front from beside Blood Battle, spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“We have to be careful. Jin So-un said they were frightening bastards.”
That bastard, who seemed to have left his fear back at the Murim Academy, had said they were frightening bastards.......
Well, though they had exchanged only one move, their methods were far from ordinary.
Blood Battle somehow felt that more strength than usual was entering his foot.

I had enormous interest in combat methods that used Mystic Gate Formations.
If one fought using a Mystic Gate Formation, one could drag the opponent into a board one wanted and fight there.
Even gamblers liked fleecing suckers on a board they had made themselves, so would warriors be any different?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The time I had unfolded the Boundless Indestructible Soul-Destroying Formation at the Murim Academy and made people experience a Mystic Gate Formation had perhaps been preparation for the far future, when we would fight the Demonic Cult together.
While the enemy would be trapped in the Mystic Gate Formation and walk one by one toward the gates of hell, our side would be able to move freely through the formation, provide support, and rescue the wounded.
Е̄n um а̇
Whether it was an absurd difference in martial power or the strangeness of Witchcraft, the advantage was that we could deal with it as long as the board was set properly.
And seeing something I had only imagined become reality made me feel even more clearly how good it was.
‘The problem is that these bastards are using that strategy on me.’
Five people in black long robes broke through the crimson wall and entered.
Just when I had been about to educate Je Geum-hak on Fixed Will and Principle.
“Haa.......”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
As soon as I confirmed the people, a sigh burst out first.
Because the Formless Flying Demon Unit, the shadow unit called the guard warriors of the Demonic Cult, had entered.
I had expected someone to come in to help him, but for it to be the Formless Flying Demon Unit.
Well, they would have to be at least that much to break through Blood Battle, Flame Ghost Consort, and Dang Seo-hui to enter the Mystic Gate Formation.
It seemed Je Geum-hak’s current position within the Demonic Cult was not as low as I had thought.
As expected, Je Geum-hak cut in at my reaction.
Е n ŭ m а̊.і d̈
“Oh, judging by your expression, it seems you know their identity as well.”
“......”

Je Geum-hak, who had been full of leisure until now, was now using the exact same tone he used in ordinary times.
Fine, of course he felt good.
If I had been in the same situation, I would have returned it the same way.
I gestured toward the Formless Flying Demon Unit with my chin.

“Isn’t this a little cowardly? We were still fighting one-on-one.”
“They say that in Orthodox Path sects, the greatest advantage of the Orthodox Path is numbers, do they not?”
I had never agreed with this statement.
Because wherever our Sojeong Squad went, we always had fewer people than the enemy.

“To incite and fabricate. As expected of Demon Brain’s disciple.”
“Hohoho.”
W̆е́ b n о̇v еl̃ Ӗ n̈ ûm̀ а́
The bastard laughed unpleasantly.
No, maybe he laughed just like usual, and it only looked that way because my mood was unpleasant.
For some reason, I felt as though I was beginning to see the end of my life even in this life.
“You truly are an amusing person. I can see why the Little Demon would be interested.”
The words “Little Demon” that came from his mouth made my mind go cold.
Because originally, there was only one being whom the Demonic Cult’s underlings called the “Little Demon.”

Je Geum-hak, who had been observing my stiff expression, cast his gaze to the side.
“Originally, I came here for another purpose.......”
The bastard, who had been looking at the place where Dam-ak had escaped, soon looked at me and grinned.
“Perhaps this side is more interesting.”
This definitely was not because my mood was bad.
That bastard was definitely smiling in a creepy way.......

“Would you come with me to our cult?”
“What?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
No, did I hear that correctly just now?
It was only the day before yesterday that the Black Thought Alliance had said they would give me the position of Vice Alliance Leader.
Now I had even received an invitation to the Demonic Cult. Was I not rising through the ranks too quickly?
“I have never heard anything so horrifying in my life.”
Ẽň u m а̂
“Ah, I was not trying to ask your intentions. I was merely telling you what has been decided.”
“......”
Insane bastard.
A properly insane bastard.

I looked back and forth between him and the Mystic Gate Formation.
And in the meantime, the Formless Flying Demon Unit began moving.
Е̊n̈ u ḿ а
Entering the Mystic Gate Formation, whose structure I had no way of knowing, was suicide.
But if I stayed here quietly, there was a high chance I would be dragged off to the Demonic Cult.
Neither choice was welcome to me.
Laughter slipped out through my lips without my realizing it.
‘It has been a while since I faced such a harsh binary choice.’
If either choice would only worsen the worst possible situation for me, then at least I would choose the side that let me screw over the enemy.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That was the method by which I had endured my shitty past life.
Tap-tap.
I stepped with the Unrivaled under Heaven Movement Art, which was absolutely not suited for being unfolded in a narrow place.
BANG.
Leaving aside speed, even controlling direction was not easy.
At the same time as I knocked away the sword of a Formless Flying Demon Unit member, I grabbed his long robe and barely stopped myself.
Ẃеb̌ǹ o̊ v̄ê.l Е̄n̈ u m ȧ
Then, after turning my body to avoid the blade stretching out from the black shadow, I scattered the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.

The Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist could not stretch forward, blocked not by an ice wall, but by the long robes cast out by the Formless Flying Demon Unit members.
No, rather, the long robe that blocked the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist slowly wound toward me and seized my fist and arm.
My left arm could not budge, as if it were caught in a net.
I had roughly known this would happen.
W̄ eb̆n̊ŏ v̇ е ľ Е̌.n̊ u̇m̀ а̀
Growl.
I wrapped the Black Dragon Sword in Sword Force and shot out the Minor Heaven Sword Art.
The Sword Force, shooting forward in a straight line as a streak of light, pierced the ice wall and was about to pierce Je Geum-hak’s temple.
Whish— Thud.

The long robe of another Formless Flying Demon Unit member wrapped around my right hand and stopped it.
Je Geum-hak slightly tilted his head aside and smiled.

“As expected, you did not know what power the Formless Flying Demon Unit possesses.”
The bastard nodded and took one step toward me.
Then he thrust his face in front of mine and smiled triumphantly.
“They have quite a decent talent for capturing opponents alive.”
A smile so disgusting that I wanted to crush it right away.
“Is that so?”

I immediately activated the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand in both hands, which were caught by the Formless Flying Demon Unit members.
WHOOSH.
As flames began to burn, the long robes wrapped around my hands loosened for a moment.
But soon, even more long robes tried to wrap around my hands.
Watching that, Je Geum-hak’s face grew even more relaxed.
“It is useless. Once someone is caught by them, never......”
En̊ u̇m̂а
That expression really does not sit well with me.
“Never, huh?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I stretched out the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand with all my power.
From the very beginning, the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand, which contained the Holy Power of the Jade Purity Heavenly Image Power, had excellent demon-subduing efficacy.
Grip.
My left hand, which burned through the long robe and stretched forward, met Je Geum-hak’s hand.

CRACKLE.
Then, as though frost had descended, the heat of the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand began dying down, and the sensation in my hand grew faint and distant.
Je Geum-hak, still relaxed, shook his head.
“Moreover, even the heat does not last long.”

This bastard seemed quite confident in his own martial arts.
Why did he not think I had deliberately extinguished the flames?

I grinned at him.
“Because I don’t need that anymore.”
“?”
Then I immediately activated the Azure Dragon Bracelet on my left hand.
“Hm?”
There. That relaxed expression broke.

SHAAAA—
The white frost that had descended over my hand vanished in an instant.
At the same time, the Holy Flame Demon-Extinguishing Hand burning in my opposite hand began raising its heat as if it would explode at any moment.
Now shock was beginning to settle on Je Geum-hak’s face.
“Wh-What is this......!”
What else would it be?

It is the Great Star-Absorbing Art that you bastards go insane over!
