#Gift from the leader

“Have I changed?”

“yes.”

It wasn’t just one or two things.

The strong energy that had been leaking out before had now completely subsided, and it almost seemed ordinary.

On the other hand, there was a strange sense of discomfort in his eyes.

If there was a corner that seemed a little innocent before, now it feels like there is no gap.

And above all else.

“You look much more comfortable.”

Usaga said with a big smile.

Now that I look at it, I understand. In the past, there was a shadow over Jang Il-seo’s heart.

“I guess your three years of training weren’t in vain.”

Jang Yi-seo answered with a brighter smile.

“If that were the case, he probably wouldn’t have come back alive. He was such a merciless person.”

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

Usado nodded his head vigorously, smiling as if he could relate.

Then, as if he had thought, he turned around with a start and asked.

“You didn’t come with me, did you?”

“Don’t worry. He won’t be back for a while.”

“Please keep my laughter as our first secret.”

“There will be a lot of secrets in the future.”

When Jang I-seo burst into laughter, Woo-sa-do smiled back affectionately.

It’s been three years since I last saw you, but somehow I feel closer to you thanks to the sense of belonging we have as a group.

“I heard the story. It is said that the Vice-Chief will do great things in the future.”

“Haha… … . It’s just something that needs to be done.”

“Haha, it looks like you still have some humility left in you. Even though your temperament has changed, it seems like you still have that same side to you.”

“Is that so?”

Usaga nodded. Then he gestured to the side and continued speaking.

“Please open the box on the table over there.”

“A box?”

Looking to the side, I see a box made of black jade sitting on the table.

“This is a true gift from the cult leader.”

Click. Perhaps because I was disappointed with the Taesa, I opened the box without much expectation.

But as soon as I saw it, my eyes widened.

A thick black jade ring, a black beaded ornament hanging from his waist, and a pair of splendid jet-black armour.

And the value contained within was astronomical.

“The first is the Cheonma-Hwan (天魔環), which allows you to freely enter and exit the Cheonma Hall. You can enter and exit anywhere within it. Even if it is the Three Great Treasuries.”

The three great treasons. They refer to the Eternal Life Treasure, filled with all kinds of spiritual herbs; the Treasure Treasure, filled with invincible items; and the Spirit Treasure, filled with ornaments and mystical items.

Treasures of a thousand years collected by the world’s greatest demonic sect.

This is equivalent to having obtained the funds to move the world.

“The second is the Cheonma-ryeong (天魔鈴), which can issue absolute orders to the units belonging to the Cheonma-jeon. You said that you will need followers if you are to carry out your activities as a vice-religious leader in the future.”

If it is directly under the Cheonmajeon, it is the Counterintelligence Corps (防諜隊), the assassin group Salhondae (殺魂隊), the Mahogungdae (魔護弓隊), and the Gwangmyeong Cheonma Corps (光明天魔隊), which is said to be the strongest in the school.

To this extent, it is not just excessive, it is excessive.

But the most surprising thing was the last third.

“He said that the vice-principal would know best.”

How could I not know?

‘This is thunder!’

It was clear. There was a black blade attached to the inside of the gauntlet, and even a thin metal chain connected to it.

It was clearly a fake made after seeing the white thunder.

A counterfeit that took even more effort to make than the genuine article.

“Long ago, the Supreme Being saved the best quality iron and made it. He called it ‘Ma-roe (魔雷)’.”

Maroe. What a truly heavenly name.

Was this made with the master in mind?

When I see him like this, I realize that he is human. Very rarely. No, very dimly. Maybe only once in a lifetime.

‘Wait a minute, isn’t that enough to make you not human?’

I don’t know. But I know one thing for sure.

“But there must be a condition to having all of this, right?”

“How did you know?”

Jang I-seo closed the box with a smirk.

I realized this after living with Cheonma for three years, but there was no way to just give anything away.

There was a time when I climbed a high peak for three days and nights with my bare hands, my internal energy sealed.

I was so hungry that I thought I would go crazy just before reaching the summit, but Cheonma himself brought me something to eat.

I hung on the cliff with my eyes rolled back and ate in a hurry, but the price I paid was… … .

‘Eww!’

It was a crash.

Something that had to be crawled back up again.

Gooooo!

Thinking about it makes me feel alive.

“Ahem!”

Woo Sa-ga, who was startled by this, quickly continued speaking.

“That’s right. The leader said that protecting one’s position is also one of the vice-leader’s duties.”

Phew. He answered, shaking off his worries.

“So?”

“But since you have been away for so long, the Grand Duke is now acting in your stead.”

“haha.”

A laugh came out on its own.

‘Another death penalty?’

Even though they knew about the tyranny of the Cheonmugi, they probably turned a blind eye to it.

Haha, try to overcome it once. As expected from someone with the blood of the Reverse Heaven.

While muttering such gloomy words to myself.

“It probably won’t be easy this time. The entire leadership, including the Oryongdang, has already decided to follow the Grand Duke’s wishes.”

Usagi’s next words were somewhat unexpected.

Three years may seem like a long time, but it is not enough to conquer Cheonsan.

“Did the Presbyterian Church help you?”

“no.”

If not that… … .

“His Majesty has gathered the forces of the new world.”

“Are you saying that you brought the forces from the suburbs in?”

Usagi nodded with a meaningful smile.

This is even more incomprehensible.

It is the nature of the main mountain to avoid outsiders. Among them, Cheonmugi is the holy blood of Cheonsan.

He, whom I despised more than anyone else, embraced external forces.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Um… … First of all… … .”

He left the question aside for a moment and said as he passed the cowshed.

“I need to meet up with some friends and let out some steam.”

“yes?”

“It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

“No, did you just hear what I said?”

If I left this place right now and stopped by Horongdang, Jang Il-seo would try to catch me no matter what the reason was.

The moment you leave here, Cheonsan becomes enemy territory.

but.

“If I move, the Archduke won’t react anyway. I’ll decide whether to punish him or not when I get there.”

Ah. Usagi felt like he had been hit hard on the back of his head. Only then did he realize that he had been very mistaken.

Jang did not view the current situation at his school as a trial that had befallen him.

Just decide whether to punish yourself or not.

I see it as a very minor worm’s wriggling that just needs to be decided!

And this was a trait that was all too familiar to Usagi.

An absolute being who alone controls life and death.

God of the mountains.

Heavenly horse.

It was exactly the temperament of a heavenly horse!

This was the exact identity of the sense of discomfort felt by Jang Seo.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Jang Yi-seo took the lottery ticket and laughed.

Seeing this, Usagi curled the corners of his lips.

‘A truly strange being has been born in our school. A human with the temperament of a supreme being… ‘

Usagi answered, taking the lottery ticket.

“I wish you good luck.”

*

Squeak!

The great gates of Cheonmajeon were wide open for the first time in years.

“Ugh, ugh, haa.”

How long has it been since I tasted the air of the Demonic Cult? It’s bitter and trembling as it is covered in dust. It’s the typical taste of the Demonic Cult.

“But why are you happy?”

The corners of his mouth went up.

Usagi was right. The past three years had been a hellish time to become stronger, but paradoxically, it had also been a time that brought peace to my mind.

At first, I was filled with impatience, thinking that I had to stop the blood sect and wanting to shake off the Murim Alliance.

However, the training of the Heavenly Demon was difficult, and as he stood at the crossroads of life and death each time, all his thoughts gradually came to be focused on just one thing.

living.

With only the will to live.

Like that, one year, two years, three years.

I realized it when even death became distant.

My heart has been firmly healed.

Perhaps, what became the strongest during the time spent with Cheonma was not martial arts, but rather my heart.

In that sense, I feel very comfortable now.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ve become more lenient.

therefore.

“Come out.”

As we reached the Samcheon Steps, a group of people blocked our way.

A black, red-embroidered piping-style coat.

The strongest unit of the Demonic Cult wearing white masks.

It’s Gwangmyeongcheonmadae.

It’s going to be another prank by the death penalty.

What a waste of time.

“Come out. This is the last time.”

The smile disappeared from his face and his eyes became cold.

Okay then.

“… … !”

The Cheonmadae members began to tremble and flinch.

It wasn’t even about building up momentum.

Rather, if you try to look at it from a sense perspective, it is neither more nor less than an ordinary person.

But my shoulders were trembling and my legs were stiff.

Overwhelmed by the murderous aura emanating from one’s very existence!

Die. You will definitely die.

However, the principle of the Cheonmadae is that they cannot move even in death unless they are given orders.

The moment when everyone was prepared to die.

“Open it.”

A clear voice came from behind, like a savior.

At the same time, the agents bowed their heads and opened the way to the left and right.

Jang-i narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down the open road.

The one wearing the golden mask.

This is the Gwangmyeong Cheonma Daeju, the second-ranking sect in the old demon sect hierarchy.

“What are you doing?”

“The leader has ordered us to confirm the vice leader’s will.”

“What does that mean?”

“He asked us to see if we were willing to cut them down.”

Crazy. What kind of name is that… … .

“What do you think?”

“Everything… … I imagined.”

Jang Yi-seo nodded and went down the stairs.

“I know right.”

His voice is cold and hoarse. This is not the first time he has blocked my path, but the second time. It is only natural that ill feelings will build.

I just did as I was told.

I will follow the same thing not twice, but a hundred times.

But.

“Let’s continue to do the same as we did today.”

“yes?”

“Take good care of the soldiers so they don’t die.”

What? I was so embarrassed that I just opened my mouth slightly and looked at him.

Then, the overwhelming killing intent disappeared, and only the corners of the mouth were lifted up.

“Are you worried about… our lives?”

“of course.”

“Why did the vice-principal… … .”

“Why? You’re my person.”

Well, not yet. When Jang Yi-seo raised the corners of his lips, the cold hearts of Cheon Ma-dae-ju and the rest of the team flinched for a moment.

They are the fate of the sword that must be used for the Heavenly Demon and destroyed for the Heavenly Demon.

But he’s my person… … .

I was speechless for a moment because it was a story I had never heard before.

“thanks for your effort.”

Even Jang-seo smiled and tapped Dae-ju on the shoulder before going down.

I turned my head and looked down with absurd eyes, and he even waved his hand.

What on earth is this sweet yet scary monster?

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a shocking murderous act.”

After a while, when he has completely disappeared, the large, sturdy captain approaches him, takes off his mask, and speaks to him.

“… … He is a special person.”

Then, Daeju took off his golden mask.

Okay then.

Swish.

Blonde hair falls in a mess, and a beauty with blue eyes appears.

Cheonmadaeju Geumsawol.

She was a peerless master of the Demonic Cult who was born between a Saekmokin and a Hanin and rose to the position of Daeju in the body of a woman.

“There are different types of killer spirits.”

“What is that?”

A person who makes people terrified with only murderous intent is a murderer.

The thing that makes even other demons tremble is the ghost killing.

“Then is he a ghost?”

Geum Sa-wol glanced at the captain and then looked back at the path where Jang I-seo had disappeared and answered.

“Dragon killing.”

“What is that?”

“I don’t know either. It’s something that someone like me has never dared to embrace, nor can I embrace. But one thing is certain… … .”

The only ones who can embrace this much flesh under the sky are the Heavenly Horse and… … .

That only those who have been chosen by the Heavenly Demon are there.

“Get ready.”

“yes?”

There was one more thing Cheonma asked her to do.

‘Meet him and decide for yourself. Whether he’s the kind of guy you want to follow or not.’

Geum Sa-wol put on her mask again and spoke.

“From now on, he is our supreme being.”

“… … !”

“Follow the Supreme.”

“Joe, John!”

Cheonmadae joined Jang I-seo’s march.
