#Doraok

Shh …

Late at night, the water surges along the lakeshore.

Thud, thud.

And a man walks out towards the land with his shoulders hunched. It hasn’t even been half an hour, but Jo Yang-ak has aged by several decades.

“Your Majesty, are you okay?!”

When his subordinates came running to ask after his well-being, he glared fiercely as if he was having a seizure.

“These stupid things… … !”

Are you okay? You didn’t even know that the Black Knights had appeared, and you didn’t even know what had happened to me on that ship.

What on earth do these things do!

I want to tear them all apart and kill them all, but… … .

Jo Yang-ak’s eyes trembled slightly as he glanced back at the lake.

“I’m going back.”

Soon I started walking silently.

Thinking about the bear that I wanted to smoke more than usual today, I left as if nothing had happened.

And there were people watching his back from a ship floating far away.

“Is it okay to just let it go like this? It seems that we still can’t say that the author is unrelated to Doraok.”

“The Lord of the Land is right. I can tell just by looking at his face. He’s the perfect dog to betray. I can send a signal to Doraok right away!”

Ji Dae-ho and Ma-ui both expressed their concerns. I understood. However, Jang Yi-seo shook his head.

“It’ll be fine. It’ll be a deal he won’t lose money on either.”

“What are you talking about? A guy who has been dragged around by you all day and is crawling away tattered. Judging from the look on his face, he looks like he would give up his soul if only he could get revenge on you.”

Not to that extent.

“Although Jo Yang-ak seems emotional, he is smarter than he looks. Since the Elders and Horongdang already knew about Doraok, they must have judged that there was no future for him.”

“Hmm… … So they’ll cut off contact first?”

“Yes. And for him, who needs to regain the trust of the Duke of Igong, the alliance with Chilsogung is something he absolutely cannot give up. So for the time being, he will try to keep an eye on me. And he will listen to what I say.”

“Huh, is that why you said that?”

As Jang Yi-seo snickered, Ma-ui shook her head. What kind of guy is this?

“Come to think of it, don’t you think of everyone around you as a chess piece? Tell me. What am I to you?”

“Is that so? Asking such a question.”

“Tell me quickly!”

“Okay.”

When Jang I-seo waved his hand, Ji Dae-ho suddenly intervened.

“Then what do I look like? I guess in terms of age and appearance, don’t I look more like an older brother than you? Didn’t I trust you and come forward today?”

“What are you saying, you tiger?”

“I’ll try it with Jang Bo-jo too. Brothers and sisters. There’s no rule that only the elders can do it.”

“Who gave you permission? You’re out of the question.”

“Why do you need permission from the elders? You should get it from the assistant chief.”

“I’m that bastard’s big brother! Me!”

“Then do as you wish, big brother. I will be your best friend.”

“Gooooooo!”

Leaving the childish fight between the two inspirations behind, Jang-seo went down the stairs with Asin.

‘Brain Jade King Cheonaksu… … Who on earth are you?’

In a strange fog that still cannot be erased.

The thought only lasted a moment.

If we can figure this out, we’ve done everything we can.

The rest is up to the Demonic Cult to take care of.

therefore…….

“Let’s go back.”

“Your name.”

***

In a dark underground cave.

The rough and narrow alleys spread out like ant holes.

You might wonder what kind of place this is, but it is clearly a place where people live.

Of course, it is not a very good living environment.

“Huhhhhhh.”

A strange groan echoes day and night like a ghostly wail, and the occasional hanging torch only reveals the bare ceiling.

If you don’t feel suffocated even after just ten days, that’s fortunate.

But what was more painful than that was the feeling of hopelessness that I might never be able to leave.

Yes, that’s right.

An underground prison of the Demonic Cult from which, once entered, one cannot leave unless one is blessed with great fortune.

That place where you have to leave behind all the luxuries that humans have enjoyed on earth, without even a single piece of cloth to cover your body when you enter.

It was a naked prison.

And now, the person entering this place wearing a bloody robe that covers his head is a mad man with curly hair.

This is Sahojeong who burned down Wolha Village.

“Kekekeke.”

With this, it has been proven that, shockingly, a route has opened up in Doraok.

But that wasn’t all that was surprising.

“Sahojeong. I clearly warned you not to act unilaterally.”

The one who blocked Sahojeong’s path as he entered. A face with an indifferent look in both eyes that were closed straight across.

He did not look like a naked sinner.

It was the appearance of a mine with a sword on his waist and, as expected, wearing a Western-style wind-covered garment that covered his head.

“What’s the big deal about just saying hello… .”

Kang!

A spark flew in the darkness and a friction sound occurred. This was caused by the sword drawn in an instant and the hand axe blocking it.

“Huh!”

At first glance, the numbers may seem similar, but in reality, they were not.

The man who looked indifferent reached out without thinking, and Sahojeong groaned and barely managed to block it.

If he had continued on from here just one more time, he would have been beheaded.

“Words are meant to be alive, not to die.”

Sahojeong frowned at the man’s tired but chilling warning. How noble of you to tell me to shut up. You’re a piece of shit, you punk.

“Do you understand?”

“……enough.”

But Sahojeong suppressed his temper and raised both hands, smiling. Chul! Then, the opponent elegantly pulled him aside and quickly turned around.

“The King is looking for you. Follow me.”

“Okay.”

Sahojeong tried to act as if nothing had happened, and followed along obediently, caressing her throbbing wrist.

It’s truly amazing.

Who was he? He was the second son of the infamous Sa brothers, and the owner of a madness that made him blind once he turned his head.

If we’re going to talk about poison, he’s one level above my older brother, Sado-cheol.

But how could he be as quiet as a dog with its tail tucked in after suffering such humiliation? It might be different on Earth, but here, it was inevitable.

At least if you want to remain human.

There were only two types in it.

People and insects.

Literally, humans are beings who can wear clothes, eat, and even converse.

The bug is… …what. Crunch!

“Kwaaaaak!”

It was just an existence where nothing was allowed. Just like now, just because my feet were placed at a crossroads, I was trampled and crushed.

A bug that must remain naked and cling to the walls of a narrow street until it dies.

And this was the old hierarchy created by the unguarded brain prison. For someone to be comfortable, someone else must be uncomfortable.

The only thing that has changed from before is that in the past, bugs were just weak ones, but now… … .

‘Anyone who is disliked by the king becomes a bug.’

That’s right. Doraok was now in the era of absolute monarchy.

Cheon-ak-sura regained his martial arts skills by releasing the seal of the Lion of Light, and gave his strength back to those who swore loyalty, along with the promise that he would forgive their sins.

This marked the beginning of a new ruling structure.

Humans and insects. And the gods that reign over them!

The era of the Prison King and the Pardoners had begun.

And the swordsman who had his eyes closed like the blind man walking in front of me was the one who was the closest of the four pardoners and was called the gentleman’s sword ghost, Ju-sa.

If we have to rank them, they’re the second in command here.

So even the mad dog in the slaughterhouse had no choice but to bow its head. Of course, his position was a bit special.

“I brought Sahojeong.”

A tall, huge cave at the end of a labyrinthine path.

Unlike the dark and barren past, this is an underground paradise with shining night sky stars and clear underground water flowing.

“Are you here?”

At the deep voice, the injection bowed its head deeply as it stood in front of the rugged Taesa made of natural stone.

There is only one being in this world who is treated with such courtesy.

A man who entered here decades ago, broke the seal, and ascended to the throne.

This is the Prison King, Un-Gwang.

And he is… … .

“I’m back… … Master.”

It was the great demon leader Cheon-ak-sura (天惡修羅) of the previous generation who personally taught martial arts to the Sa brothers who came here when they were young.

A long-standing relationship from the past has been reunited.

‘Old man. What did you eat to make you grow bigger?’

Sahojeong looked up at the huge figure and felt nervous inside.

This wasn’t flattery, it was something anyone would do if they encountered it.

White hair that was disheveled on pale skin. A white robe and a gold necklace with a large red jewel. On the other hand, a magnificent frame that even a tiger would avoid.

This is what the Brain Jade King looked like.

“I heard you went to Wolha Village.”

A deep voice befitting his appearance echoed through the room like thunder.

“That’s… … I’m sorry, Master. I can’t stand just looking… … Keuk!”

Sahojeong stopped talking and fell forward, clutching at my neck. Even though he was lying face down, sweat was pouring down his forehead.

It wasn’t like the energy flowed out of the Brain Jade King’s body.

There was only murderous intent in his eyes.

But with just that, Sahojeong stood at the crossroads of life and death, like an insect under a human’s feet.

A person with a bad temper.

It was just one thought that brought him to the brink of death.

And the fact that the Brain Jade King unfolded this… … .

It is said that he is an absolute being who uses the power of the ultimate devil.

“Sa, saaaaallie… … .”

Sahojeong begged for her life, shedding tears, snot, and even saliva.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

At this rate, my heart is going to burst first.

For King Hanaeok, everything was peaceful.

“Ever since you were young, you lacked many things compared to your brother. No talent, no brains, no patience. You were just frivolous.”

“Ugh… … .”

“But among all the shortcomings, there was one thing that was better.”

“Save me… … . Save me, you little shits!”

Sahojeong raises his head and shouts.

The blood vessels in both eyes are burst, and the pupils move independently, as if they cannot see anything.

And… …the Brain Jade King laughed at this.

“Yes. That is precisely the evil. That cruel heart that will never give up to get what it wants is the reason why I didn’t kill you.”

Bam.

The seething murderous intent disappeared like a breeze, and Sahojeong collapsed, shivering.

“Do you want to become stronger? Then endure. Endure and endure again, and reach a level that your brother could not reach.”

The Brain Jade King stands up. Then, the red beads on his necklace become darker in color.

Let’s stretch out our hands forward.

Shushu shushushuk-!

Hundreds of red rays of light shot out like daggers, piercing into Sahojeong’s dantian.

“Euuuuu… … Kkaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”

A terrible pain that can be said to be arrogant to endure.

The screams echoed for a long time.

Until the moment when Sahojeong completely fainted.

“Take her.”

As the military inspector, the sergeant, quietly gave an order, the criminals wearing blood-stained robes came in and took him away.

Then, only four people were left in the room.

The second-ranking swordsman in the Doraok clan, the swordsman’s assistant.

The third-ranked friendly method that looks as honest as a bear, Daesanhong, the Bongsan Fist.

The 4th ranked left guardian, who looks like an evil spirit, the Eight Trigrams Death Spirit, Akbokjo.

Lastly, the king of these people, number one in the hierarchy, the Brain Jade King Cheonaksura.

These were the leaders of Doraok right here.

And originally there was one more here.

“It seems like the Four Souls Sword Demon has been attacked.”

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
