God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 216

126. Jongcheon, Cheonjong

thud!

Following the guidance of the open disciple, the group of Shihyeon arrived at the Hwasan Sect.

It was built on a high cliff that seemed to have been cut down by God.

“Stop them!”

“Don’t let me come up!”

The Volcano Sect’s unmanned soldiers were busy catching slimes while holding their swords with different types of sword energy and sword resonance.

Every time they swung their swords, pink auras would fall, swirl, and occasionally shoot out.

As dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles, not one or two, unfolded their wings, it seemed as if tens of thousands of plum blossoms were falling.

The sight was absolutely splendid.

thud!

But Sihyeon didn’t have time to look at that and started climbing up the cliff in reverse.

“older brother?”

“Follow me quickly.”

Tsuzujeok!

Soon, Seo Young-woo, who had created a black cloud under his feet, also followed Si-hyeon up.

“what?”

“Son Oh-gong?”

“We can’t fall behind either.”

As you can see, Sihyeon is half-awake right now.

In this situation, he didn’t know what kind of accident would happen if he ran into the disciples of the Hwasan faction, so the leader of the martial arts world, Peng Zhongxue, concentrated his internal energy on his feet and followed the two diligently.

“Jongcheon!”

“Are you here?”

Pass by the Volcano Party drones that are fighting the slimes.

There was an old man there who was leading by example and guiding the other disciples.

Youngho room.

As the leader of the Hwasan faction, one of the political factions, Gupa Ibang.

Simply put, he was the person with the greatest responsibility.

I knew his face because I had seen it in passing a few times before returning.

Sarrurur… … .

Kkwadduk!

Finally, he swung his sword to push away the slimes and cut them down.

Younghobang welcomed Sihyeon.

“The fallen king, Lee Si-Hyeon. And the fallen savior, Seo Young-Woo. And the leader… … .”

“It’s been a while. Jang Moon-in.”

“It’s been a while. But we’re a bit busy right now… … .”

“That busy thing.”

[Item, ‘Kibisis (S)’ opens its eyes.]

“I’ll solve it in a jiffy.”

***

‘This can’t be happening… … .’

Yeonghobang swallowed dry saliva after seeing Sihyeon’s ability.

‘A hundred eyes that can freeze your whole body just by looking at it… … How wicked.’

The Hwasan faction is basically Taoist.

As it uses pure internal energy, it was inevitable that there would be aversion to the magic that Sihyeon used.

Among the other forces in this martial arts world and China, the only one that used that power was the ‘Cheonma Shingyo’.

‘But it’s strong.’

At the same time, I thought that such a powerful force would be tempting.

‘I expected it when I first heard the nickname ‘The Fallen King’… … He really is a being who controls magic.’

I get it.

To survive among the demons that threaten peace.

To become a little stronger, what can’t you do?

Didn’t he himself do the right thing while sitting in the position of the leader of the volcano faction and experiencing disaster?

‘No matter what, this is… … .’

In a situation where I can’t do anything, I’m stuck.

Sihyeon managed to harden all the slime around him.

The drones of Pangga and Hwasan were able to deal with them efficiently.

“Jongcheon. Where are you?”

“Come.”

In the end, since he had received help from Si-Hyeon, Yeong-Ho Bang had no reason to refuse his request.

‘No, if you refuse the request and cause trouble here, the damage to your disciples will be severe.’

In the end, thinking that power is no match for anything, Yeonghobang began to ‘collaborate with evil powers’, something he had always believed he would never do in his life.

***

Knock knock.

“field…….”

Knock knock.

“Oh, fifty… … .”

“Hey! Jongcheon!”

“city…….”

slam!

Jongcheon finished speaking as he felt the stinging palm of his hand against his back.

“……oh.”

“What are you talking about, so slow? You’re going to get beaten up by stupid demons because you’re moving around like a snail!”

“that is…….”

“Are you feeling okay?”

Before Jongcheon could say anything, Sihyeon looked around his body.

Cheonma and Cheonri-tae were wounded by magic.

It was a bit ironic that Shihyeon, who had the strongest magic among the current players, was checking to see if he was injured.

“Sihyeon Sohyeop? How is it here… … .”

“Be quiet, Inma.”

“… … .”

Si-hyeon’s expression became serious as he looked around Jong-cheon’s body for a moment.

‘That’s for sure. This is Cheonri-tae’s doing. It looks like he went straight to Cheonma Shingyo like I told him.’

Sihyeon felt sorry but also puzzled, because she never thought that Jongcheon would get hit like this.

‘Why… … If Jongcheon was standing before the ultimate master, he wouldn’t have been hurt like this even if he couldn’t defeat Cheonri Tae?’

Sihyeon looked at Jongcheon for a moment and then looked around and said.

“I’m really sorry, but everyone, please leave.”

“… … Okay, brother.”

“Why all of a sudden… Are you going through puberty?”

“Father, please go out for now.”

All players, including Seo Young-woo, Peng Jung-hak, and Peng So-wi, left their seats.

The moment Youngho Bang, who had been looking at him until the end, left.

[Item, ‘Night’s Curtain (B)’ is drawn.]

As soon as Si-hyeon fluttered her coat once, the room where Jong-cheon was was filled with purple night.

“Jongcheon, tell me. What happened?”

“… … .”

Looking at Sihyeon pulling up a chair and sitting in front of him.

Jongcheon chuckled without realizing it.

“ha ha ha…….”

He was a rude, ill-mannered person who would come in out of the blue and hit you on the back.

But Jongcheon wasn’t in a bad mood at all.

‘Why?’

No, on the contrary, I felt good.

‘Is it because we caught the three Gorgon sisters together? No. Is it because I feel like you are truly worried about me?’

When he was very young, Jongcheon lost his sect and was left alone.

There were many people who asked him if it was okay to be hypocritical.

Sihyeon was different.

Although he was a little rude and rough, I felt that his concern for me was genuine.

That’s why I didn’t feel bad.

“Sihyeon Daehyeop. The reason I was hit is… … .”

“Stop talking informally and keep using the terms ‘small business’ and ‘big business’. We’re friends.”

“Hahaha. Okay… … Okay. Sihyeon Sohyeop.”

“No, Grandmaster.”

“… … Yes. Sihyeon.”

Phew.

Jongcheon let out a sigh and started talking to Sihyeon.

***

“In conclusion, the information you gave me was only half correct.”

“You said you were only half right?”

Sihyeon focused on Jongcheon’s words.

Before returning, I met Jongcheon a long time ago compared to now.

At the time, the guy didn’t talk much about his past, so there was a high chance that Si-hyeon wouldn’t know what he was going to say from now on.

“That’s right… … No, that’s right. It’s true that the Mudangpa and Cheonma Shingyo joined hands. However, they didn’t completely join hands and betray the Jeongpa.”

“Then what happened?”

“… … This could be a long story?”

“Really? Now that we’ve confirmed that you’re safe, shall we go and end the disaster?”

Jongcheon shook his head at those words.

“No. The disaster cannot be cleared.”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Cheonri-tae.”

“… … .”

“Cheonma, Cheonri-tae. He has become a ghoul.”

“what?”

Shihyeon’s body froze in shock at those words.

“What is that… … .”

If what he said is true, then Eun could not be cleared as Jongcheon said.

The goal of the main quest is to kill ‘all’ the blood slimes hiding among the slimes.

If even one of them survived, the quest was a failure.

“The Heavenly Demon Sect will protect the Blood Slime. If Cheonri-tae has become a ghoul as you said.”

“that’s right.”

“But why Cheonri-tae? Why on earth?”

Sihyeon couldn’t understand.

“What would he gain by becoming a ghoul? He’d just get stronger.”

In fact, before his regression, Cheonri-tae did not become a ghoul.

This was because it possessed extremely strong power even without necessarily joining Blood Deep.

A strength that rivals that of Shihyeon with just his own power, and millions of demonic followers.

The guy wasn’t ranked 2nd in East Asia for nothing.

“That’s why.”

“Is that why?”

“I heard that you became stronger by making a contract with the devil. I don’t know for sure.”

The devil made a contract with the devil.

‘It’s terrible.’

Sihyeon shook her head.

‘I need more information about this. I don’t know which demon he made the contract with or how.’

Sihyeon muttered like that and let out a deep sigh.

“Yeah. This isn’t something that can be resolved right now.”

“That’s right. By the way, Sihyeon.”

“say.”

“How on earth did you know that the Shamanist faction and the Cheonmasin Church were related?”

“I don’t know the details. All I know is that the Shamanist sect and the Cheonma Sect joined hands. And the Shamanist sect was betrayed by the Cheonma Sect and destroyed.”

“That information is wrong.”

“then…….”

“The Shaman faction fought against the Cheonmasin religion to the end. Along with the Hwasan faction here. So thankfully… … the Hwasan faction here took great care of me, the last disciple of the Shaman.”

“What happened?”

“My real name is not Jongcheon. I am Cheonri-tae’s only younger brother, ‘Cheonjong.’”

“?”

Jongcheon let out a deep sigh at the ‘?’ sign that appeared on Sihyeon’s face.

“I couldn’t believe it either.”

“So your father was a demon?”

“That’s… … that’s how it is.”

It wasn’t very pleasant to hear the words, “Your father is a demon,” but I couldn’t really refute them because they were true.

“When I was young, a shaman elder took me in and raised me after I was abandoned by the river.”

“The Cheonma Sect, knowing that the bloodline of the Cheonma was there, attacked the shaman sect and destroyed it?”

“That’s right. The power of the Heavenly Demon Sect is much greater than I thought.”

Even with the help of the Hwasanpa and Jongnampa factions, the Cheonmasingyo could not be stopped.

The one who was able to stop them was the last disciple who happened to survive, ‘Jongcheon’.

Even that was because he was of Cheonma’s bloodline and Cheonma saved him.

“I don’t understand. From Cheonma’s perspective, you’re a competitor… … .”

“Cheonma is free.”

“You say it’s free?”

Nod.

“Yeah. He told me to come back stronger.”

“That crazy guy.”

Sihyeon took a moment to collect her thoughts and let out a deep sigh.

[Time left until end: 6 days 21 hours.]

‘There are roughly 7 days left. We can’t defeat the Blood Slime by penetrating the entire Cheonma Shingyo within this time.’

If Cheonma had turned into a ghoul and made a contract with the devil as Jongcheon said, he would have become much stronger.

Moreover, if we assume that all the followers of Cheonma have become ghouls.

‘Fuck… … .’

The sixth catastrophe, Blood Deep.

The enemies are not only vampires, zombies, ghouls, and slime guys from another world.

Ranked 2nd, it included Cheonma Cheonri Tae and his forces.

‘The disaster difficulty has become insanely difficult.’

Since you can’t clear it, the summoning time of ‘Vampirism’ will be 50% faster.

‘When the vampire is summoned, the vampire lord, Keygene, who is there, can exert 100% of his power.’

Vampire Lord, Kizene, is a being with the status of a lower-level god.

Now was not the time for players to fight each other.

“Jongcheon. What you just said to me, can you say the same thing to other people?”

“Of course. But what can I do?”

“What should I do?”

Sihyeon clenched her fist.

“We need to get together. As fast as we can during the remaining time.”

“Come together? Is that possible?”

“It’s not impossible. If we don’t unite right now, not only China but all of East Asia could perish.”

In the worst case scenario, all players in East Asia will become mummies that can’t even die, but just suck blood.

***

[Cheonma (Heavenly Demon), do you know the weight of this name?]

Black hair, red eyes.

Pale skin, with a stocky physique that doesn’t match it.

A powerful magical energy that weighs down the surroundings with every step you take.

At the very top of the Ten Thousand-Man Mountain, where hundreds of thousands of the elite of the Cheonmasingyo have gathered.

Cheonri-tae asked the Four Guardian Dharma Guardians behind him.

“… … .”

“… … .”

These were warriors with great power, as they were the four most powerful shields protecting the Heavenly Horse.

I just remained silent, not understanding the intent of the question.

[Well, those who haven’t become a Heavenly Horse can’t help but not know.]

Cheonri-tae smiled as he briefly recalled his childhood.

[This position was reached by tearing apart all the brothers from the same boat and different boats, feeding them to animals and fish. It is only natural that the one in this position rules over everything in the world.]

“you’re right.”

“That is a valid point.”

[Yes. It is natural to rule over everything in the world… … .]

Cheonri-tae clenched his fist.

Magic gathered in the air, creating the face of a giant demon.

[It is only natural that one rules the whole world.]

Cheonri-tae.

His goal was not just China or the martial arts world.

If that were the case, he would not have turned into a ghoul and entered the Blood Deep, nor would he have made a contract with the demon of lust, ‘Asmodeus’, who approached him late.

[Listen!]

When Cheonri-tae spread his arms, the black magic that had gathered in the air spread out in all directions and poured down like rain.

“May the Heavenly Demon Resurrection bring you great fortune!”

“The Heavenly Demon is back again!”

[Our start is China! Next are the Mongolian bastards who run wild without knowing what’s going on, and then Korea and Japan!]

Kookookookookook… … .

[After conquering all of East Asia… … I will rule the entire world! Smash everything that stands in my way.]

“May the Heavenly Demon Resurrection bring you great fortune!”

“May the Heavenly Demon Resurrection bring you great fortune!”

[Okay… … then.]

A bright red light burst out from Cheonri-tae’s eyes.

[good!]
