#execution day

The lofty Biryongdang pavilion.

A large crowd of people gathered in the wide open space in front of it.

The murmur continued without ceasing, and everyone raised their heads and looked in one direction.

A flat execution platform made by stacking wooden blocks crosswise up to a height of 6m.

Above, a man stands bound with ropes to the poles at both ends in the shape of a cross.

His name is Jang Eun-seo.

He was the main character of the execution ceremony held today.

“What the hell is going on?”

“They say he will be publicly executed on suspicion of being a spy.”

In fact, most of those who came after hearing the rumor did not even know who was standing on the scaffold.

But it didn’t take long for me to get to know him amidst the flood of stories.

“Isn’t Chilsogung the most famous place these days? But why on earth is it… ?”

“I heard that the Archduke himself will carry out the sentence. Isn’t that obvious?”

“It’s a political strife.”

Some people clicked their tongues, saying it was a pity. This was because they were well aware of Chilsogung’s recent activities.

This level of restraint and plotting was commonplace in the Demonic Cult. It was just that the man on the scaffold became the scapegoat.

“But why is the gaze of a man who is about to die so calm?”

“I know…….”

Of course, the real political strife hasn’t even started yet.

“The Grand Duke has arrived!”

And then, someone’s shout rang out pleasantly through the crowd.

At the same time, the commotion suddenly stopped, and everyone’s gaze turned to the south gate behind them.

The crowd quickly bowed their heads and split left and right.

They are.

In reality, they are the ones who will lead the next generation of Cheonmajeon.

This is Ilsogung Heukhwawi, walking majestically in a series of black military uniforms.

At the center of it all were the Grand Duke Cheonmugi, the Ghost Demon Army Hwansa, and the Four Princes Han.

“Welcome, Your Highness.”

And in contrast, the leader of the Biryong Party, Myo Chae-kyung, and the most elite party members greeted them, waving white robes.

When they are tied together like this, the momentum flowing out is breathtaking for mere believers to contain.

The commotion was gone, and even the sound of breathing had disappeared.

“Hmm… … .”

And the Archduke stopped walking, looked around the room, and frowned.

Then, the ghost demon next to him asked with his eyes sparkling.

“What are these? Who called them when they have never been here before?”

“That is… … .”

Myo Chae-kyung was sweating profusely.

It was natural.

Today’s crowd was not part of the Grand Duke’s plans. It was not what Myo Chae-kyung had in mind either.

‘I guarantee it. You, my lord, will never suffer any loss.’

All of this is just that crazy guy smiling faintly on the executioner’s stand.

It was Jang I-seo’s plan.

“What should I do?”

The day Myo Chae-kyung and Jang I-seo held hands.

Jang said this:

“First of all, we need to change the board.”

“hmm?”

“It’s not about getting into his shoes, it’s about getting him into our shoes.”

“You’re talking about execution rites.”

Although Jang Il-seo has asked for advice several times, Myo Chae-kyung is also an expert in backroom tactics.

If you pretend, it’s pretend.

But soon he shook his head.

“No matter what you plan, you won’t be able to stop the execution. If you think of authority as you say, they’ll try to kill you by any means necessary.”

“Who said to stop it?”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“It’s the opposite. Let’s raise the bar.”

“Raising it.”

“Change it to a public execution. Bring the crowd together to watch.”

“Are you out of your mind? If there were people watching, they would make an example of you and try to kill you even more.”

“That’s what I’m telling you to do.”

This kid… …? Then me. If you die like this, me?! I was so dumbfounded that I looked up and down, and Jang Yi-seo answered coolly.

“This is a fight that the Archduke started. No one will back down until it is over.”

You won’t back down? Are you saying you’re going to raise the stakes because you’re afraid the Archduke will step out?

Where does this confidence come from?

No, okay. Let’s say that’s true.

“So what next?”

What happens after that?

Jang Yi-seo smiled and replied like this.

“I have to step on it. So that it can’t crawl back up again.”

At that moment, Myo Chae-kyung felt goosebumps and realized something again.

That this guy is crazy.

and…….

That he is a mad dog that must never be made into an enemy.

“Why can’t you answer! Can’t you tell me right now?!”

Myo Chae-kyung opened her eyes wide and woke up from her recollection at the ghost demon’s murderous threats.

‘But this bandaged brat is a third-grade aide and dares to speak to me, the master of the household, at the end of every sentence… ‘

When I came to my senses, the ghost army suddenly appeared.

Originally, I put aside his rank and treated him with respect because I knew his reputation and character.

Is it because he is being compared to Jang Eun-seo, who is also his assistant? Or is it because he thought he would soon be defeated by Jang Eun-seo?

It looks strangely easy.

It may not be exact, but one thing is certain.

‘I’m going crazy because of that kid, Jang Seo.’

“Master. You must speak well.”

Understood, you bandage punk! Myo Chae-kyung glared at him, then quickly changed her clothes and reported directly to the Grand Duke.

“Because of the recent Doraok incident, the public sentiment among believers is very unstable.”

“How dare you-!”

The Doraok incident is a taboo subject that cannot be brought up in front of the Archduke.

When he brought this up, the Ghost Demon Army became enraged. However, the Grand Duke raised his hand as if to say that it was enough and stopped him.

There are many eyes to see and ears to hear now.

“Go on.”

When he ordered in a murderous low voice, Myo Chae-kyung swallowed hard and whispered with her characteristic laugh.

“Ohhohoho! In that sense… … . This incident is one in which one of our church’s executives was revealed to be a spy. If we make it big with a public execution, wouldn’t it be a great opportunity to appease the hearts of the believers and gain His approval?”

Him. It refers to the absolute supreme being, Cheonma. His recognition is like a shower in the desert to Cheonmugi.

“If you don’t want it, should I send it back now?”

“That’s right. The believers should also have the right to know. If there are many onlookers, he won’t be bored.”

“Ohhohoho, that’s what I’m saying. Come this way. I’ve prepared a seat for you.”

Myo Chae-kyung glanced at the ghost army, snorted, and walked ahead.

‘That girl… …!’

The Ghost Demon’s eyes turn bloodshot. However, given the atmosphere, now is the time to follow.

The poor man followed after shaking his fist.

The place I was directed to was exactly twenty steps away from the execution platform.

There was only one chair there for the Grand Duke, and when he sat down, he was able to face Jang-seo head-on, which was nice to see.

Soon, the two people’s eyes meet.

Finally they met.

Become an executor and an apostate.

“It’s been a while.”

“How have you been?”

Even though we were just looking at each other, an indescribable atmosphere engulfed us.

As if a black dragon and a mad dog were howling at each other.

“You made a big deal out of it just to catch me.”

“Hahaha, this is a matter of rooting out the spy hiding in our school like a rat, so shouldn’t we do something like this?”

“Are you trying to use the people around me as bait?”

“So what?”

The Archduke spoke confidently with a joyful smile.

“Whether you wanted it or not, from the moment you become entangled with a spy, punishment is unavoidable. No matter who it is.”

This means that Maodo and the Seven Deadly Sins will not be exempted from the investigation.

“But all of this would only make sense if I were a spy.”

“Of course. But what more can you say, you who left Cheonsan without permission and were caught?”

“Did you not hear the story, or did you not want to hear it? I clearly told the master. I went out of Cheonsan and came back… .”

“Ah, so you’re saying you chased after the Blood Cult?”

The Archduke cut him off and nodded. Then he opened his eyes wide and said.

“Do you have any evidence?”

“What evidence do you have?”

“Is there any evidence that you were chasing the Blood Cult? If you have it, prove it here. Then I will believe you. But if that’s not the case… … .”

The Archduke raised his hand.

Sreung! The black hwawi all drew their swords at once.

“Today, this will be your last time here.”

The moment he drops his hand, he will fly up and decapitate you on the spot.

‘It’s definitely different.’

Jang Yi-seo felt chills to his liver and gallbladder.

The opponents are a hundred highly trained warriors, the supreme master Sakongja, the Ghost Demon Army, and the Grand Duke Cheonmugi.

There is absolutely no chance of winning a fight.

In an instant, he is completely pushed back in a tense battle.

‘Would things change if I took out the blood demon?’

That may be so. However, the Blood Demon is a double-edged sword, unstable and uncertain.

It’s right to put it off until the very end in your head. And the best thing to do right now is… .

“Okay, then.”

“what?”

“I will prove it. That I am not a spy!”

In this place, all the plans the Archduke had prepared were destroyed.

Don’t let it crawl back again!

A sky-blue light radiated from Jang Yi-seo’s eyes.

The fight for life has begun.

‘You want to prove it?!’

The Grand Duke was quite taken aback by Zhang Yishu’s sudden remark.

‘Is that even possible?’

The suggestion he made was just a stretch. How could he, who was thrown in jail right after arriving, suddenly present evidence?

It was just a remark made to make an excuse.

But you want to prove it right away? That’s ridiculous. I immediately laughed and responded.

“How can you prove it? And how can I believe what you say?”

“If His Highness wasn’t intentionally targeting me, then I would have no reason not to listen, right?”

“what……?”

“You asked me to prove it myself, and I said I understood. Please listen and judge for yourself.”

That cocky bastard. I wanted to cut his neck off, but I was secretly concerned about the people around him.

Because there was a lot of murmuring everywhere at Jang Yiseo’s words. If he carried out the sentence without listening here, it would be a strange situation for anyone to see.

“Okay. Go ahead and say something. But you have to do it quickly. I’m not very lenient with spies.”

In the end, the Archduke snickered and took a step back. No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that he had said it out of improvisation to avoid the moment.

But.

“In here now.”

Words that I could never have imagined were blurted out.

“There is one who has caused the sinners of Doraok to roam Cheonsan.”

Boom, boom! The crowd erupted in an uproar. The Ghost Army was startled, and the Four Guardians’ eyes widened.

‘You mad dog, you insist on… … .’

“You’ve gotten crazier,” he sighed.

Recently, villages have been burning and many people have been killed, and the anger of the believers has reached its peak.

But the culprit is inside here.

True or not, it was clear that a huge tsunami had struck the calm sea.

“Who is it! Who is it!”

“Your Highness, please tell me clearly!”

And this led to pressure on the Archduke.

Jang I-seo’s momentum, which had been greatly weakened by the power of Ilsogung, is revived through the power of the crowd.

The black dragon’s momentum began to wane, and the mad dog began to roar in counterattack.

“Your Highness… … .”

The Ghost Demon Army sensed that the situation was not normal and looked around cautiously. Then, they targeted the distant Biryongdangju with their axe eyes.

“Because that girl was doing something useless… … .”

The Grand Duke raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.

“This is not the party leader’s problem.”

“yes?”

And then he pointed straight at the scaffold and muttered:

“It’s him. He’s the one who’s plotting to change the game.”

With truly passionate eyes.
