Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 265

Kill each other (7)

“I don’t know if I should say this, but honestly, I feel like it’s your own fault.”

At Ilmok’s words, Sohogae laughed bitterly.

“I also think that the Tang family deserves to be punished for this incident. I’m just worried that it might interfere with the work that should be prioritized by the Blood Cult.”

The dog clicked its tongue with a regretful expression and added as if talking to itself.

“The thing that Biryonggakju and Elder Chugae sacrificed themselves to prevent is now happening.”

“… Elder Chugae wasn’t alive?”

When Ilmok asked in a questioning tone, Sohogae nodded.

“You didn’t lose your life, but you lost your martial arts skills.”

“this….”

Ilmok, who muttered in a regretful tone, took the lottery ticket from Hoogae.

“I’m sorry. I had no choice but to return after confirming that Elder Chugae was still alive. Not only was my internal injury serious, but my companions were also trapped in the Blood Cult’s formation and in danger, so I had no choice.”

At the first apology, Hoogae was startled and waved both hands.

“I didn’t mean to blame you. How could I blame the Maitreya sect when they stayed until the end and fought for the fate of the world?”

This time, the latter took the prize and showed his respect to Ilmok.

“This little tiger cannot represent the whole world, but I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of everyone. Thank you for stopping the Blood Cult’s plot. If the Maitreya Cult had not stepped forward, it would have been mistaken as the work of the Demonic Cult and a war would have broken out.”

The dog made a face that seemed terrifying just thinking about it.

It wasn’t that I was afraid of the war with the Demonic Cult. The problem was that while I was being deceived by the Blood Cult and fighting the Demonic Cult, there were terrible things they would do behind the scenes.

“Ahem. It was just something that had to be done.”

“Hahaha. If everyone thought and acted like the Maitreya Buddha, the world would become much more peaceful.”

The ignorant Sohogae thought that the Mireukmyungyo was a humble and kind family.

“Ahem.”

The smiling Soho dog suddenly remembered something, made a serious face, and opened his mouth.

“Actually, I came here because I wanted to ask you something related to this matter.”

“Feel free to ask.”

“What exactly happened there? Elder Chugae passed out while using the Innate Spirit, so I could only infer what happened afterward from what I saw on the scene, but it’s not exactly clear.”

“So, you want to know about the fight after Elder Chugae passed out?”

“exactly.”

“Hmm.”

Ichimoku stroked his chin as if recalling a memory.

In fact, I wasn’t trying to recall my memories, but rather was wondering how I could lie without getting caught.

Because Biryonggakju had to pretend to be dead to the Blood Cult guys.

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Ichimoku opened his mouth calmly.

“Right after Elder Chugae passed out, the Biryonggakju who killed the old man who seemed to be the elder of the Blood Cult joined me. The remnants of the Blood Cult blocked the way to protect the elder who was preparing an unknown great law, and when Biryonggakju and I were almost done with cleaning them up, something strange happened.”

“What is this strange thing?”

“That’s right. The elder of the Blood Sect who was preparing the Great Law stopped the Great Law and started to perform sorcery. Using the enormous amount of blood energy that was rushing to the altar, he really continued to perform sorcery endlessly.”

Ilmok shook his head again as if he was still confused when he thought about it again.

“The number of people who died at Baekhaksan was close to a thousand, so it must have been a truly tremendous force.”

As Sohogae spoke in a noisy tone, Ilmok nodded and continued speaking.

“Even the elder didn’t care if his subordinates were caught up in sorcery. He just kept casting spells endlessly, targeting me and Biryonggakju. When the thought crossed his mind that ‘if this continues, we’ll be the first to die from exhaustion,’ Biryonggakju threw down the gauntlet.”

“Are you talking about the Biryonggakju?”

“Yes. Even though his whole body was being torn apart by the Blood Cult Elder’s sorcery, he managed to make his way through and eventually managed to approach the Elder. However, his whole body was already covered in wounds, and the Blood Cult Elder began using a special sorcery to suck out the blood of the Biryonggakju.”

As if imagining the flow of battle in his head based on Ilmok’s explanation, Sohogae swallowed hard and looked at Ilmok with a tense expression.

“However, even in the midst of all that, Biryonggakju held onto the body of the elder of the Blood Cult until the very end. Even as the blood was sucked out of his entire body and he became a corpse. In order to give me an opportunity.”

“While the Dragon’s Legion was holding him back, you finished off the Blood Cult Elder.”

“That’s right. It is certain that Biryonggakju sacrificed himself not for me, but for the safety of the world.”

“iced coffee….”

The little dog seemed so moved that he clenched his fists and made an impassioned expression.

There was sadness in the eyes of Ichimoku who looked at that little dog, but this was only a look on the outside.

‘It worked.’

Deep inside, there was still an indifferent feeling.

The elder of the Blood Cult was captured through the sacrifice of the Biryongakju.

This wasn’t just a lie to hide the fact that he had killed the Biryongakju.

‘If this happens, the Murim Alliance will also pursue the Blood Cult more diligently, right?’

It was a ploy to further increase resentment against the blood cult.

As if Ichimoku’s intention had been understood, Hougae nodded with a solemn expression.

“I will make sure to relay this news to the Murim Alliance. The great sacrifice of the Biryongakju must be known.”

“I think so too.”

It was Hoogae and Ilmok nodding their heads while looking at each other.

And then, Hoogae asked Ilmok a question again.

“But there is one strange thing.”

“What’s strange?”

“I’m talking about the hollowed-out hole in the center of that altar. It was connected to the end of Cheonmabidong. The soldiers of Cheongseong were also able to escape safely thanks to the hole made there. If they had tried to escape through the entrance, they would have also suffered additional damage from the poison of the Dangga.”

“ah….”

When Ilmok let out a faint exclamation as if he knew something, Hoogae added.

“In addition, there were traces of someone running away. Traces of someone breaking trees, rocks, and whatever else they could find and running away. To be honest, I was worried that it was the elder of the Blood Cult who ran away. The problem was that the traces were so blatant that I thought something was off.”

At the latter’s explanation, Ichimoku bowed his head and said.

“I’m sorry. I was so busy taking care of the group that I forgot to tell you.”

“???”

“Right after I succeeded in cutting down the elder of the Blood Cult thanks to the sacrifice of the Biryonggakju, the elder of the Blood Cult cast a spell as if he was making a last desperate attempt. Suddenly, he gathered a tremendous amount of blood and threw an amulet towards the center of the altar.”

“…Was it some kind of sorcery that caused an explosion?”

“There was an explosion, but that wasn’t the intended purpose. Right after he threw the amulet, a corpse with an amulet stuck to its forehead jumped out along with the explosion.”

“It’s a zombie!”

When Sohogae shouted with a surprised face, Ilmok nodded.

“I was preparing for the final battle with that skunk, thinking that there was a mountain beyond the mountain, but to my absurdity, the skunk ran away at incredible speed as soon as it got up. Just as you said, it broke everything it came across, including trees and rocks.”

“… … .”

The little dog, who had been looking at me with a bewildered expression, asked cautiously.

“You… didn’t think about chasing him?”

“I didn’t expect you to run away, so I was a step late in reacting. Also, the speed was so incredible that I couldn’t keep up even if I used all my power to attack.”

“One, there are a lot of traces left, so can’t we at least trace them?”

“… I had accumulated many internal injuries from fighting the Blood Cult Elder. And as I said before, taking care of the party that was defeated by the Blood Cult’s formation was the priority.”

The little dog, who had been making a complicated expression at the explanation, soon gathered his thoughts and took the lottery ticket.

“Thanks to you, all my questions have been answered. In the end, the problem is that zombie.”

Ilmok nodded and asked Sohogae in return.

“You said there were a lot of traces left behind, right? Weren’t they being pursued by Gaebong or the Murim Alliance?”

“The traces disappeared from around the end of Baekhak Mountain.”

“… It looks like the Blood Cult took it back.”

Ilmok let out a light sigh as he recalled the image of the zombie escaping while destroying Baekhak Mountain.

* * *

A mountain somewhere in the Central Plains.

A cave hidden in a secluded corner of the mountain, befitting the expression “in the midst of mountains.”

There, an old man was reciting a spell without stopping, with his eyes closed.

In front of the old man, candles were burning in a complex arrangement with magical meaning, and in the center of them lay a middle-aged man.

A strange being that is a corpse yet has life flowing through it.

The candles that had been flickering gloomily fluttered in the eerie wind and then suddenly went out as if they were being cut off.

And then the old man, who had stopped reciting the spell, opened his eyes and looked at the corpse.

Although the plan prepared at Baekhak Mountain failed, the worst was avoided just by recovering the body.

The Great Law was also half successful, so it was not a complete failure.

The only problem is that we need to replenish the blood supply of hundreds of people.

‘If only the Heavenly Blood Corpse Sacrifice could be completed, revenge would not be a dream.’

A thousand bloody rivets.

The culmination of decades of efforts by the Blood Cult to seek revenge.

We conducted countless studies to improve the problems of existing zombies, and theoretically, we were able to find a way to create the most powerful zombie.

However, in order to create the Thousand Blood Sword, a corpse of a warrior who had successfully transformed was needed. The corpse of an absolute master who had reached the so-called Inhae-gyeong.

The problem was that those who had reached that level were not only unlikely to die violently, but most of them were part of some huge force.

To be exact, in most cases they were leaders of large forces.

From the perspective of the Blood Cult, who had to hide the fact that they were alive, there was virtually no way to rescue such a corpse.

Meanwhile, the Blood Cult, who had pinned their last hope on a rumor that had been circulating in Sacheon since ancient times, searched all over Sacheon for ten years in search of Cheonmabi-dong.

And a few years ago, they were skilled in magic and sorcery and managed to find the Cheonma Bidong.

I was in despair.

Because Cheonma’s corpse was nothing but bones.

Only those with remaining muscles and blood vessels could be made into a Cheonhyeol Gangsi. Perfectly balanced muscles and bones, and unobstructed blood vessels were needed, so the goal was to find a corpse that had successfully undergone a transformation.

When the enraged Blood Cultists tried to destroy the Cheonma Bidong, the Blood Cult Leader managed to recall his unique wisdom.

A way to take revenge on the Bloody Heavenly Demon and the Demonic Cult who dared to make them make a wasted move. In addition, a way to obtain the enormous amount of blood energy needed to create the Thousand Blood Dragon.

After that, the Blood Cult carefully set up traps throughout Baekhak Mountain where Cheonmabidong was located.

The day I succeeded in finding a corpse to use in the Thousand Blood Potion. In order to use the Thousand Blood Potion.

And about two years ago, they succeeded in rescuing the body of an absolute master who had entered the Inhae-gyeong.

Right now. That corpse in front of the Blood Cult Leader.

The Blood Cult used various drugs and sorcery to prevent the corpses from decaying, and further began to carry out various operations in Sacheon.

He was already trying to spread rumors about Cheonmabidong by inciting discord among the three major forces of Sacheon, whose feelings were gradually strained.

The grand plan that had been prepared for over a dozen years had gone down the drain, but there was no sign of frustration in the eyes of the Blood Cult Leader.

‘I will complete it somehow.’

Even if it means dyeing the entire Central Plains in blood.

The Blood Cult Leader, who was looking at the corpse that would become a thousand-blooded dragon and recalling that pledge, turned around.

There, a man dressed in black was kneeling, waiting for the Blood Cult’s spell to end.

“What happened?”

In response to the Blood Cult leader’s question, the man answered by putting his head on the floor.

“Because so many people gathered near Baekhak Mountain, we couldn’t erase the traces left by the Thousand Blood Gangsi. However, we have removed all traces left after we recovered them.”

When the blood cult leader clicked his tongue lightly at the man’s report, a cold sweat ran down the man’s back.

A situation where a long-planned plan had collapsed. If I had offended the leader at this time, all the blood in my body would have been sucked out. As a sacrifice to complete the Thousand-Hyeol Gangsi.

“How are the political parties moving?”

“Thanks to your stupid actions at the party, their attention seems to have turned to you.”

They didn’t think they were lucky or that the heavens were helping them. They were the ones who dreamed of going against the heavens with their own special magic.

“It turns out that all the preparations I’ve made so far weren’t in vain.”

In the first place, the blood sect leader thought that the Tang family had done such a foolish thing because they had been causing discord among the three major powers of Sacheon.

“This is all thanks to the wisdom of the leader.”

thud.

The man who came to report was banging his head on the floor and flattering, and blood flowed down his forehead.

The man added his words so as not to offend the cult leader, seemingly oblivious to the blood flowing down his forehead.

“We have also obtained information about those who blocked our plan.”

“Tell me the story.”

“The Biryonggakju of the Murim Alliance, the Chugae of Gaebong, and lastly, the place called Mireukmyeonggyo.”

“Maitreya Bridge?”

The Blood Leader frowned at the unheard name.
