Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World - Chapter 54

“Cheonma?!”

“Why did you think I wouldn’t come here?”

“………”

“Well, you must have been convinced of something. We must have misunderstood each other. You thought the one you knew wouldn’t care about the Yacha descending below.

In reality, the Yacha only stirs up the situation to maintain the war. They are actually beneficial to Cheonma.

That’s what I thought.

“Well.. what is it? How can a human..”

“Even the war gods who arrogantly looked down from the sky have fallen. Now they have to be cautious around me.”

Even the original Cheonma could have played with multiple Yachas if he had the means to fly in the sky, but now, having devoured the Black Dragon Pill, even if there are many Yachas, they cannot defeat Cheonma.

That’s why Cheonma makes a proposal. To only one Yacha.

“Extermination Yacha. If you have a little time, you have the ability to catch up with me before awakening.”

“I refuse.”

“You haven’t even heard the story yet.”

“It’s probably something about eliminating Jungwon or whatever. Sorry. I’ll reject any proposal from you. There’s no temptation that I can’t refuse right now.”

Cheonma smirked.

“Jungwon? What are you talking about?”

“What?”

“Why do you think my ultimate goal is just to wipe out Jungwon?”

“…..”

“Do you really think we need four years for such a simple task as wiping out Jungwon? Pathetic. Your evaluation of yourself has dropped a bit. Remember, my interest in you is not infinite.”

Among the obedient Yachas, Ryu Chun-hee was the only one looking straight at Cheonma.

“What’s the proposal? Let’s hear it.”

“In any case, can’t Eunho calmly make a decision without risking her life like the Black Dragon Pill? In my name, in the name of Cheonma, in the name of the Great Cheonma God’s religion! I promise to protect you and Eunho.”

“Sigh..”

Honestly, if it was before they embarked on a short journey with Eunho, he might have hesitated. But now it’s different.

Eunho is not a doll.

She has emotions. Although invisible, she has the most beautiful eyes of a pure heart.

“I told you. Your proposal isn’t sweet to me at all. The only reason I can stand confidently in front of you is that I swore not to betray Eunho anymore. What you proposed goes against that oath.”

With an air of determination, Ryu Chun-hee grinned.

“Have a taste of hell.”

“…………”

The face of Cheonma darkened, then quickly transformed into a cold and expressionless demeanor.

“Fine. Then die along with them.”

Cheonma reached out his hand to the sky, conjuring a deep violet magic.

The violet magic condensed like a single bead before rapidly spreading out like shrapnel.

Except for Ryu Cheon-hee, none of the Yacha were able to react in time; it was as if chains of magic bound them all together.

*Woosh…* The chains connecting them, resembling tentacles or black threads, undulated while draining their energy.

“Ugh…?!”

Ryu Cheon-hee managed to block the initial attack, but she soon succumbed to countless subsequent attacks without any means of defense.

“Wither away.”

As Cheonma spoke, the bodies of the Yacha instantly shriveled up.

Tentacles that greedily absorbed the divine power possessed by the Yacha at an astonishing speed. Even when they tried to resist, their hands only met empty air.

“How pitifully feeble you are. Your only true talent lies in this.”

“…Guh…”

“But it doesn’t matter now. Your years are not eternal flames. The war must continue. Ironically, the moment my war ends is when your life opposing me will also come to an end.”

Ryu Cheon-hee swiftly glanced around.

The rapidly escaping divine power caused dizziness akin to anemia due to its depletion of oxygen or blood, but she fared better compared to other Yacha.

The reason being her absorption ability, which had allowed Ryu Cheon-hee to survive until now.

Unlike other Yacha, who continuously absorbed divine power on the battlefield, Cheon-hee could do nothing more than absorb it. Nothing else.

‘Why… Why would Cheonma gather the divine power?’

“The gods below cannot assist you in this festival.”

As Cheonma snapped his fingers, a massive phoenix appeared from the sky.

The majestic divine being hovered protectively over the area.

“Finally made it here… but are you still hiding, ruling alone?”

Ryu Cheon-hee tried to stop Cheonma, who descended from above, but the more she resisted, the more the tentacles rooted themselves in her body, using her resistance as nourishment.

‘Ah… I need to inform them that Cheonma suddenly started gathering divine power!’

Absorbing divine power would do no good for Cheonma, since he had even more magic. Yet, there was only one reason he gathered divine power…

Cheonma…

“In the end, they were created to gaze upon the Magi’s sky.”

Cheonma spoke with a slightly bitter expression.

“I am also here to walk the same path.”

The Jungwon was a stone set for conquering the Heavenly Realm.

“A… Are you telling me to stop that?!”

“Someone has to step forward! Go back, as expected!”

“Don’t talk nonsense! If we run away from here, it means I’m below Myeongsoo!”

Cheonghongchu, who stood her ground out of pride, and Geumjonzun, who restrained her, the Gukjonzun.

Even the heavenly gods were tense, just like those incredibly powerful women, referred to as transcendent beings. But Cheonma surpassed the realm of gods.

What should we even call that realm that hasn’t even been named yet?

“Jang Myeong-soo. Where is Yuadokjon?”

“………..”

However, no one among those girls, who were all companions, opened their mouths in response to Cheonma’s question.

“Silence. Yes, silence can be a good means sometimes. Just staying still can convey a lot, like saying at least half. However…”

Cheonma’s eyes began to burn with violet flames.

“I have no need for that right now. It’s simply the difference between dying painfully or dying comfortably. Speak up. Where is Yuadokjon?”

“You have to defeat me first..! Cheonma!”

Cheonghongchu opened her eyes like a rooster and adopted a posture.

“I briefly glanced at it before. The four-year martial arts. It’s useless here.”

“Hwacheonyangkwon!”

A fist struck with a power of a thousand blows at once.

Cheonghongchu’s strike seemed like a solid wall, like a barrier of fire.

-Kuuung!!

The ground began to crumble, and the earth shook.

It was an attack that displayed the realm of the Samjon, but Cheonma simply endured it and savored the attack.

“So that’s how it is. Is that your answer?”

“…Damn it, nothing’s working on you.”

Guyeonghwang remembered what Jang Myeong-soo had said.

– …To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to hold onto the feet of a celestial horse.

– Isn’t it natural?

– If that’s the case, then why…

– You know his personality. He won’t throw the first punch. Just try to get his attention.

– Did you have any confrontation with the celestial horse?

– I don’t know. Just try to get his attention while staying alive.

– “…It seems impossible…”

– However, as time passed during the confrontation with the celestial horse, not only Goyounghwang but also other Samjon felt something strange.

– The celestial horse is not sincere.

– Is it the composure of a strong one? What is it?

– Cheonghongchu, unable to tolerate being ignored, attacks and curses in anger.

– “You damn bastard! Are you mocking us right now?!”

– “Do you want me to kill you with one strike? Ridiculous. It feels like seeing a puppy that doesn’t know it will die.”

– Cheonsinil asked for a conversation first.

– “Then why? Why are you not killing us?”

– “It’s a bet. My personal bet.”

– “What?”

– “Until my subordinates turn the central garden into a mess. Try to stop them. Then I’ll let you know.”

– There’s something. There’s something… but I couldn’t figure it out.

– Unable to uncover the mysterious behavior of the celestial horse, Samjon could only attack him without being able to devour him.

–

–

–

– On the other hand, Eunho sensed the celestial horse’s actions from a high mountainous area.

– “…He’s not stepping forward at all.”

– When he ascended to the sky, he used tremendous magic, but on the ground, he never used his own power even once.

– What is he trying to do?

– The prince beside him was looking at that place with an expression as if he wanted to rush to the celestial horse at any moment.

– “While the Three Lords are suffering, I…”

– Han Arin calmed down the prince.

“We need to first escort Confucius and quickly go to eliminate the elders of Magyo.”

“……Can’t I go with you?”

Mengju looked puzzled, but Hana firmly replied.

“We can’t protect Confucius during the battle. Furthermore, even a self-reliant person like yourself won’t be able to properly protect Confucius against celestial demons. Taking refuge now is our top priority in terms of help.”

“Understood.”

Hana deliberately picked up her gun and spoke firmly, but she couldn’t help feeling bitter in her mouth.

“Mengju-sama! Mengju-sama has arrived!”

“Mengju-sama! What will happen to our home… All our possessions are still inside..!”

“We couldn’t take care of the cows!!”

*Bam!*

When Mengju clapped his hands loudly, everyone fell silent.

“For now, concentrate on staying alive. Only when your life is secured can you aim for what comes next.”

Hana spoke instead of him.

However, there are always those who take advantage of the crowd psychology in emergency situations.

Those who incite and try to cross the line of precarious situations by manipulating people’s emotions.

“You guys are naive! Try to do something!”

“If we defect to Magyo right now, we might survive, everyone!”

“I want to go back home!!”

Hana and Mengju calmed them down, sweating as they checked the time.

“How much time is left?”

“…It’s almost half-past one.”

“Hold on a little longer.”

Meanwhile, Namgung Yeon…

“hehehehe~ hehehehe~”

“…………”

“So, you’re Namgung Yeon~?”

“Speak my name properly.”

“I’m the elder at the church. Do not follow me.”

I met the wrong opponent.

“By the way, I am transcendent ~ please take good care of me ♡”
