#Front view Yeop-gwang

The next day.

It’s so early in the morning that the sun doesn’t shine very well and it’s hard to tell what time it is.

When I finished my meditation and opened my eyes, I heard a rustling noise and heavy breathing outside.

Even if you listen closely, they are not assassins. They are people who are terrible at hiding.

As expected, a moment later a rough, low-pitched voice was heard from outside.

“Are you there?”

“What’s going on?”

Jang Yi-seo leisurely adjusted his clothes and spoke straight away.

Then, perhaps bewildered that I wasn’t sleeping, his breathing became ragged for a moment before he answered.

“The elder told me to bring him.”

At this hour? As Jang Seo opened the door, five doctors appeared outside.

The one who stands at the forefront among them is… … .

A large head. A thick neck. Shoulders that appear broad but narrow. And a bloody club.

Is he a goalkeeper?

“This is the footnote of the book, Yeop-gwang.”

You’re a great person. I’ve heard of you. You’re said to be well-versed in medicine and have outstanding martial arts skills.

The head-smashing goblin, Padumangryang (破頭魍魎), Yeop-gwang.

He is the real power who took control of Doksan Pavilion on behalf of the devil.

“I am the assistant manager.”

If we have to divide them into ranks, the Vice-Minister is a 4th-grade noble. Unless he is a Vice-Minister, he is lower than the Assistant. However, since he is a few levels above him in terms of age and fame, he is treated with the bare minimum courtesy.

“Ahem!”

But even that didn’t seem to satisfy the doctors. The unpleasant coughs and uncomfortable stares. The open hostility was clear.

The reason was obvious.

‘How could I not notice that you have such an angry face all the time?’

Whether it was because the breath had weakened or because the control of the spotlight was excellent, they also found out.

The fact that the devil was trying to give up his position to him.

It’s only natural that they would be dissatisfied if a young, green punk suddenly rolled in one day and became their master.

‘But it’s disappointing that you’re getting upset over something like this.’

Jang Yi-seo swallowed the arsenic in his heart and spoke in a calm tone.

“The elder said he was looking for me?”

“Follow me.”

Then Yeop-gwang threw away his words and turned around and walked away. Jang-seo did not back down and spat out.

“Okay.”

A completely different atmosphere. Clear condescension.

The doctors’ eyes lit up, and Yeop-hong stood still like an iron wall.

At this, Jang Yi-seo said with a sneer on his lips.

“Aren’t you going?”

No, what is this? The doctors were making a small noise. And the most annoying looking one among them opened his eyes wide and said.

“Your Majesty, you are the one who has ascended to the Ilbaekmasung!”

That’s right. Jang Seo nodded.

“so?”

“Ahem! Please give him the proper example. Even if the aide who was once a long-time employee suddenly became successful, there must be respect and reverence for those who came before.”

Confucianism? What respect is there in a devil’s religion?

And if you say Jangsam, it refers to the third son of the Jang family and the fourth son of the Lee family. In short, it means that a guy you have never heard of should not mess with you.

If things are going this way, how can things go well?

And most importantly.

“Is that what you think of the footnotes?”

Jang Yi-seo was curious about him.

Is he just the worst kind of person who knows how to use force? Or is he the lesser of two evils who has at least a minimal amount of strength?

Also, understanding the opponent is the specialty of Jang I-seo, the best agent in the dark world.

‘Yeop-kwang. What kind of person are you?’

The answer is… … .

Whoosh! Yeop-gwang turned around. He had an angry goblin face. In his raised hand he held a blood-soaked short sword.

‘Was I really that foolish of a person who couldn’t even control my anger?!’

The moment when Jang Yi-seo’s eyes narrow and fill with disappointment.

Boom, boom!

“Ugh!”

The club fell squarely on the head of the doctor who was talking nonsense, not Jang-seo. The doctor rolled around on the floor, holding onto his split head.

“what…….”

I looked at Yeop-hong in bewilderment. He glared back at me and spoke in a cold tone.

“Don’t cross the line.”

Are you talking to yourself right now? Before he could even ask that question, Yeop-hong immediately turned around.

“The elder is waiting. Go.”

I start walking soon.

At least he’s not a clumsy person. He’s the type that’s not easy to catch.

‘We’ll find out if we watch more.’

Jang Yi-seo nodded and followed him, reserving his judgment.

* * *

Meanwhile, at an early hour, Ma’s Sima Jun, who had summoned Zhang Yishu, was deep inside the cave.

“Hehehehehehe!”

“Hehehehe!”

Is it the sound of the wind seeping in? No. It’s a tone mixed with someone’s moaning and laughter.

The name of this place is Chammadong (斬魔洞).

It was a place where those who were possessed by magic and could not recover were confined.

The 37 brain-shaped jade stones placed on both sides of the straight road are their homes and tombs.

Although they are now nothing more than lunatics, they were all once upon a time the most influential figures of their time.

The courtesy that was given to him was what saved his life.

And when you go to the edge of Chammadoong, unlike other nooks, there is a sunny open space blocked by a steep cliff that rises high into the sky, and it is here that he is staying.

“Sima Jun is here.”

The one whom the elder Ma-ui must bow his head with both hands together and pay his respects to every time. He is the only normal person who has imprisoned himself in Cheonma-dong, and was once a brilliant being.

Yang Dae-heon, the poisonous demon.

He was the legend of Doksan Pavilion and the one who commanded the world in his previous generations.

“… … Come in.”

A cracked voice came from the old house.

Ma-ui took out his staff with the mind of a young man, not like an old man who had mastered the art for a long time.

* * *

Outside that time, Jang Seo-do was following the lead of the Bu-gak-ju Yeop-gwang and had reached his destination.

But.

“Isn’t this a dead end?”

Quagwaquagwaqua!

To be exact, it was a waterfall that poured down coolly like a downpour. I couldn’t have brought it here because I was bored.

“From here on out, I will go with Assistant Jang.”

Yeop-hong suddenly declared time for just the two of them.

At this, the doctors raised the corners of their lips sinisterly, took the tickets, and walked away.

‘The location is suitable, and it seems like he’s about to reveal his true colors.’

It is not a coincidence that Yeop-gwang’s back suddenly looks cold. The sound of the waterfall seems to drown out even his screams. It is a place where it would not be strange if someone died at any moment.

So the two of them started walking towards the waterfall along the eerie path next to the pond.

Jang Yi-seo followed behind without letting his guard down.

And that moment when you reach the waterfall.

Yeop-gwang took a step forward.

“… … .”

Silent. Soon, he turns around. He is holding up the bloody dagger. Jang-seo narrows his eyes and reaches for the dagger on his waist.

however.

“Be careful… your feet.”

“what?”

“It’s wet.”

Yeop-gwang points to the ground with the tip of his short sword. When he lowers his head, the water becomes excited.

“No, what are you talking about with a club… … .”

“Follow me.”

The relief that turns around again, Yeop-gwang. It’s really something you don’t know even if you know it.

Jang Yiseo shook his head and followed him again.

Then, surprisingly, behind the waterfall there was a huge iron gate leading to a cave.

And the words carved into the rough wall.

It’s Chammadong (斬魔洞).

“Isn’t this the place where the Dokma is?”

I approached the iron gate out of the blue and asked while touching my teeth. I didn’t know they would bring me here right away. I was starting to feel puzzled.

“Why did you refuse the elder’s offer?”

“what……?”

Quagwaquagwaqua!

A faint voice pierced my ears along with the loud sound of a waterfall coming from behind.

“I asked why you declined the position of Doksan Gakju.”

Oh. When Jang Yiseo hurriedly looked back, he was standing there, marking the retreat route.

Woohoo!

Holding a club surrounded by a dark green aura.

“The doctors said that I was the right person for the position.”

Is it finally revealing its true colors? The back is blocked by an iron gate, and there is limited room for movement to the left and right.

It’s like a rat cornered in a corner.

Jang Yiseo answered with a frown.

“Were you upset? That the opportunity came to me, a complete stranger?”

“Honestly, yes.”

“So you’re trying to get rid of it?”

“… … .”

As Jang-seo spoke, he imagined countless situations.

How can I defeat Yeop-hong and get past him? But no clear method comes to mind.

To be exact, there was no visible gap.

This means it is that strong.

“You can split it. But that’s your business. If you want to take your anger out on me… … .”

“Don’t refuse.”

“… … !”

What did you just say? Did I hear that wrong?

“What does that mean?”

“I told you not to refuse.”

“Are you saying that it’s okay for me… to become a poisonous footnote?”

Even after asking, I was still shocked.

But he answered with the same expression as before.

“yes.”

“Why? What do you know about me?”

“I don’t know. But I know the elder. I’ve been serving him for 30 years. The doctors are still young and may not understand, but I know him better than anyone else.”

What the hell.

“Unless you meet my standards, I won’t give you a chance for the rest of your life!”

Quagwaquagwaqua!

Suddenly, Yeop-gwang began to swing his short sword at the intact wall. Stone chips flew out and the waterfall drowned out the loud noise several times.

As if he had come to his senses, he turned around again and continued speaking indifferently.

“Please keep what you just saw a secret from the elders. As you work, dissatisfaction tends to build up.”

“No, well… … let’s do that.”

Jang-i nodded with a bewildered expression.

“Anyway, you are the one who was chosen by the elders after decades. Please do not refuse and take charge of Doksan Pavilion.”

Yeop-gwang bowed his sharp head deeply.

“Ha… … . You’re really special. You know that?”

“Doksan-gak must save the sick and also kill the sick. There must be no compromise, and it must be kind and cruel at the same time. If the head of the household hesitates, the doctors will be hurt. Just remember that.”

“I didn’t say I would do it.”

“Go.”

“You’re not listening to me at all.”

Yeop-hong turned around as if his business was over and then stuck the short pole into the groove on the wall.

Kookookookookung!

Then, the door to Chammado slowly opens.

Jang Yi-seo thought as he watched Yeop-hong’s back as he left first.

The relief of the leaf.

I still don’t know for sure… … but maybe… maybe, just maybe, I’m a little bit okay.

And finally, the two entered Chammado-dong.

“Ehhhhhhhh!”

“Hehehe!”

My eyes naturally frown at the resonating cries of the madmen.

“They are no longer alive.”

At that moment, the thought suddenly occurred to me that it was not the photons spitting out screams, but the poisonous demons living among them.

What on earth could possibly be missing that makes him stay in a place like this?

It was strange from the start.

‘Dokma was a man who lived in the same era as the Left and Right Lions. He was a generation older than Cheonma. They say he was a super big shot. But even I didn’t know he was alive.’

He is so quick-witted that he can recite the magic sect’s teachings in his sleep.

Even the head of the Bukgakju Yeopgwang already knew.

But I couldn’t even imagine Dokma’s survival.

If it’s not a lie, there must be a story that is difficult to reveal anywhere. And this was about an hour after I started walking along the road.

It was only when we passed through the dark and damp cave and reached the sunlit house that we realized.

“Kkul kkul, are you here?”

An old man with only bones and dark skin left, wearing only a long robe next to the horse’s head.

‘The author… is… a poisonous snake?!’

He appeared as a living mummy with cloudy white pupils.
