Episode 410
For some reason, I felt a chill down my spine.

It felt like someone was stabbing me in the back of the head with an awl.

Jang Woo-hang knew all too well what this feeling meant.

It was a sense of crisis.

“Shit!”

I looked back and saw Zeon and Levin flying towards me.

They were falling towards them at a frightening speed, like meteors.

“Wangpadan [Grow up, little one]!”

Jang Woo-hang took out his Yuyeopdo and swore.

It was a temporary weapon obtained from the southern district. However, its performance was superior to any other weapon in the geostationary area.

“Red flower invincible sword, the third chapter, fallen flowers and bloody sea!”

Jang Woo-hang shouted while swinging his sword.

In that moment, a cloud-like energy emerged from his palm and flew towards Zeon and Levin.

Zeon blasted the Sand Viper, destroying the energy sent by Jang Woo-hang, and Levin changed direction to dodge.

Zeon landed on the ground and looked at Jang Woo-hang and Heuk-no.

Jang Woo-hang opened his mouth, sweeping his tangled hair away.

“You’re really a horrible kid. What grudge do you have against us that you’re chasing us so viciously?”

“You tried to blow up Neo Seoul, right?”

“What does that have to do with you? You could easily get out of the blast radius.”

“Then what about the other people living in Neo Seoul?”

“What’s the point of caring about those kinds of people? They’re not even as good as the dirt on your toes anyway.”

“What do you care when millions of people are dead or nearly injured? Is that even a thing?”

“Why can’t we stop? They’re just like grains of sand scattered across the desert. There are enough of them to trip on, so why don’t we just kill some of them?”

“Then what about the Earth? I could kill about three hundred thousand people without any problem. They are just a very small number of people, like grains of sand, as you said.”

“How dare you!”

Jang Woo-hang’s face distorted at Jeon’s rebuttal.

Zeon’s eyes grew colder at his appearance that changed in an instant.

There are such people.

Those heavily armed with all sorts of strange things.

People who never admit to their mistakes even when they know they are wrong, and who use ridiculous sweet talk to cover up their wrongdoings.

Jang Woo-hang was one of those people.

When such people have absurd self-centered justice, they act like this.

They take others’ sacrifices for granted, but they cannot accept their own harm at all and become furious.

It was a classic case of cognitive dissonance.

Jang Woo-hang shouted while aiming his sword at Jeon.

“If you have any love for humanity, don’t stop us. We desperately need the magic stone power plant. If you take this magic stone power plant blueprint, you can bring light to the three hundred thousand people who are in dire straits.”

“If it was that necessary, you should have paid a fair price for it. Instead of destroying and stealing Neo Seoul… … .”

“You are not capable of becoming great heroes. You have so much, yet you do not know how to bestow benevolence. Do you think a country like that can last long?”

“I don’t think that’s something you should worry about. Neo Seoul has achieved such a high level of civilization without your help.”

“Wangpadan [Grow up, little one]!”

Jang Woo-hang couldn’t control his anger and swung his leaf sword. Then, a crescent-shaped aura flew towards Jeon.

Jeon didn’t panic and built a sand wall to block Jang Woo-hang’s attack.

Jang Woo-hang shouted while restraining Jeon.

“Han! You and Heukno must get out of here. Juping and I will block this place. We must somehow convey Pangu’s eyes to the Underworld.”

“ancient!”

Mo Yong-han fled with Heuk-no.

They promised to do this from the beginning.

So that even just one person can survive and deliver Bango’s eyes to the underworld.

Then Levin shouted into the air.

“I’ll take care of them, bro!”

Levin pursued Mo Yong-han and Heuk-no without even listening to Zeon’s answer.

“no!”

Jang Woo-hang shouted and hurled an aura at Levin.

bang!

However, the Auror was destroyed by a sandblaster fired by Zeon.

Jang Woo-hang shouted at Jeon for interrupting his event.

“this guy!”

“I can hear everything even if you don’t shout so loudly.”

“I will never forgive you.”

Jang Woo-hang ran towards Jeon, shouting.

His palms were suddenly covered in a vivid red aura.

In the underground world, it was a skill called pottery.

Sigh!

His volcanic eruption came raging like a storm.

It was as if the whole world was trapped in the shadow of the maple leaf.

It was the fifth skill of the Red Flower Invincible Sword, Red Flower Storm Destruction.

Deng Zhuping, who had been holding his breath, moved in response to Jang Woo-hang’s attack.

He took an object the size of a child’s fist out of his subspace backpack and threw it at Zeon.

Phew!

The object thrown by Deng Zhuping exploded above Xeon’s head, spewing out white liquid.

Any object that came into contact with the liquid, which was sprayed like rain, froze instantly.

It was an ice bullet made with the secret art of the underworld.

The freezing bullet had the effect of freezing all objects within range for thirty seconds.

Thirty seconds may not seem like much, but in a fight between Awakened beings, it was long enough to mean the difference between life and death.

Damn it!

Zeon and the surrounding sand froze in an instant.

Jang Woo-hang’s attack struck the frozen Zeon.

Oh my!

There was a huge explosion.

Jang Woo-hang’s eyes trembled.

“Is it… successful?”

“We got you, boss!”

Deng Zhuping cheered with both hands spread wide.

Swish!

At that moment, the sand beneath Deng Zhuping’s feet moved silently. However, Deng Zhuping, who was filled with a sense of victory, did not notice it.

Gosh!

Deng Zhuping sensed the crisis when he heard the sound of sand spinning beneath his feet.

“what?”

When I came to my senses and looked down at my feet, the sand was spinning terribly.

Zhang Wuhang, who noticed Deng Zhuping’s crisis, shouted.

“Juping! Get out!”

“colon?”

“hurry!”

Despite Jang Woo-hang’s shouts, Deng Zhu-ping could not avoid it.

Because by then I was already in sand up to my knees.

Gooosh!

“Kwaaak!”

Deng Zhuping screamed loudly at the excruciating pain he felt below his knees.

The sand, spinning at high speed, completely ground away the area below his knees.

At that moment, a change occurred throughout Deng Zhuping’s entire body.

The seal on the heart of the demon that was transplanted into his heart was released on its own when he was on the verge of death.

“Kwaaah!”

Deng Zhuping grew larger with a roar.

The numerous spines protruding from its back made it look like a mix between a hedgehog and a gorilla.

“You all have had your hearts transplanted.”

Zeon quietly rose from the sand.

Fine sand flowed down his body like a waterfall.

In a moment of crisis, Zeon used the power of the Sand Wizard to move deep into the sand.

Jang Woo-hang’s attack only hit the innocent sand.

The effect of the ice bullet that had instantly frozen Zeon disappeared after thirty seconds.

Although there was a slight chill in his body, he had no trouble speaking or moving.

“What the fuck!”

Jang Woo-hang unfolded the vision of the invincible red dragon.

In response, Deng Zhuping let out a scream and rushed at Zhen.

At that moment, the sand beneath Zeon’s feet became a giant pillar, pushing Zeon up several tens of meters.

Zeon raised his right arm while standing on a pillar of sand. Then, the sand in the area rose like a cloud and floated around Zeon.

Jang Woo-hang’s eyes shook.

This is because an unusual flow of mana was felt from Zeon.

At that moment, Zeon shouted.

“Sand Spear!”

Shushu shu!

The sand floating in the air became windows and poured down to the ground like rain.

The sight of dozens and hundreds of sand shards pouring down onto the ground was truly spectacular.

However, for Jang Woo-hang and Deng Ju-ping, who had to deal with the sand spear, it was a nightmare.

Pubbubububububu!

A sandstorm fell on them and exploded.

Zeon wasn’t satisfied with using Sand Spear just once.

Shushu shu shu!

A second rain of sand spheres poured down upon the earth.

Without a moment to catch their breath, a third sand sphere followed the second.

A rain of over a thousand sand spheres struck the land where Zhang Wuhang and Deng Zhuping were.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The sand in the area shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and clouds of dust rose up.

Zeon controlled the sand pillar and slowly descended to the ground.

The wind blew, causing Zeon’s robes to flutter.

Zeon’s landing with his robe fluttering was reminiscent of a demon.

As Zeon waved his hand, the cloud of dust that had risen up was pushed away, revealing a gruesome scene.

Deng Zhuping’s condition was truly dire.

There are holes all over his body, pierced by dozens of sand spears.

When he was transformed, the weapon he used was the thorn on his back, but he couldn’t even use it due to the merciless bombardment of the Sand Spear.

Even with dozens of holes in it, Deng Zhuping was still alive.

He opened his mouth and glared at Zeon.

“Kuuuuu! You dog… … .”

“I will refrain from calling me a dog.”

Phew!

As soon as Xeon finished speaking, Deng Zhuping’s head exploded like a firecracker. Xeon had blown it away with a sandblaster.

“Jang Woo-hang is… … .”

Phew!

At that moment, a crimson sword suddenly popped out from under Zeon’s feet.

Zeon quickly stepped back, barely managing to avoid the sword.

Jang Woo-hang appeared through the hole where Jeon had been. However, Jang Woo-hang’s appearance was strange.

Its entire body was covered in chitinous shells, and its arms had transformed into the forelimbs of a mantis.

“This is what you look like after being transformed.”

“Now I can never return to being human again. So I will kill you and slaughter all the humans in Neo Seoul to release this wrath.”

An incredible energy flowed out from Jang Woo-hang’s entire body.

Before becoming a demon, Jang Woo-hang’s rank was only B-rank. However, the energy he felt from him now was S-rank or higher.

Not everyone can become a demon by receiving a demon heart transplant.

Even in the underworld, only a very small number of people were suitable to receive a demon’s heart transplant.

It’s not like everyone’s rank went up a few levels just because they received a demon’s heart transplant.

Literally, if the compatibility is good, it becomes much stronger than its original ability.

In that respect, Jang Woo-hang was a blessed being.

The demon he received was the heart of Qin Yong, who was captured in the dungeon.

When part of Qin Shi Huang’s tomb was converted into a dungeon, the terracotta warriors there were turned into beasts.

Jinyong was another name for Byungma Yong, and in Jijeoseong, the dungeon boss was called that.

After suffering a great number of casualties, Jijeoseong was finally able to capture Jin Yong, a S-class demon, and transplant Jin Yong’s heart into Jang Woohang.

Jang Woo-hang opened his mouth, looking down at his arms that had turned into swords.

“Jin Yong protected Qin Shi Huang even after his death. I too protected the Jiji Castle through my death. That is the reason for my existence as a warrior.”

“You’re talking nonsense for so long.”

“How dare you disrespect the pride of the unmanned? Do you have no respect for the unmanned?”

“No! No. To me, you don’t look like a person who is unmanned, but like a thief who was caught stealing and is making excuses.”

“How dare you!”

Jang Woo-hang was furious and tried to rush at Jeon. However, Jeon’s voice was much faster than his.

“Sand Gehenna!”

Kwaaaa!

The whole area turned into a hellish battlefield.
