44 – Chapter 44 Blood Demon

1.

The fight continued the next day as well.

“Cheonhee..”

“No, I can’t allow it.”

Cheonhee shook her head and said.

Without realizing it, Eunho pursed his lips.

From Eunho’s perspective, he wanted to stop Cheonma from consuming the Heukryongje before. As mentioned earlier, there were many important connections in Jungwon.

Although Cheonhee seemed to want to continue this lifestyle.. There was a need to make a strong stand.

Even if the purpose of Cheonma was not clear, it was certain that it led to destruction.

Cheonhee’s plan was to let Cheonma devour the world from the beginning.

Even if Cheonma’s subordinates reached higher levels, as long as Cheonma herself didn’t take action, Cheonhee wouldn’t be threatened. So, the plan was for Cheonhee to protect Eunho while evading and running away from Cheonma.

It was about fundamental evasion without finding a solution.

Eunho knew this and followed.

Just a few days ago, even if Eunho refused, he felt pressured to be taken forcibly. Besides, Eunho’s purpose in coming here itself was to investigate the Blood Guild.

Of course, from Cheonhee’s point of view, who thought that Eunho would always follow her from the beginning, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

“Just running away won’t solve anything.”

“Before I found out that you were alive, I was willing to sacrifice myself to give Cheonma a hard time. But now that you’re alive, I will never let go of the chance given to me again.”

“…Are you planning to keep running away with me, Cheonhee?”

“You know that you followed me. And you felt my speed. Even Cheonma can’t catch up to me. I couldn’t even be caught in the first place.”

“Are you sure about that?”

Cheonhee asked, looking at him with a certain meaning.

“By consuming the corpse of Heukryongje, it is said that one can surpass the domain of a powerful god. Do you really think I can’t fly? Even if I can’t fly, while we hide, if Cheonhee quietly approaches and kidnaps me, what will happen then?”

“…………”

A moment of silence passed. Cheonhee didn’t say anything and went into the room. She seemed to need some time alone.

Meanwhile, Wonerdaecheong swam through the air, watching their every move.

“What do you think, Wonerdaecheong?”

[From my perspective, it would be better to handle the corpse before Cheonma notices. Wrap your body with magic so as not to be affected by the magic poison and take it to the sky. It’s a simple task.]

“Is going to the Heavenly Realm that easy?”

[The gods born in the Heavenly Realm can all open the door. The gatekeeper with the celestial eye will definitely overlook the Netherworld when they see the signal. If you pass, they will surely open it.]

“People who are not a part of the celestial map cannot open it.”

Luckily, there was the Original Green Maple in place; otherwise, even if we had been able to steal the body from the Black Dragon, it would have been pointless.

After conversing with the Original Green Maple and others, it was decided to approach Cheon Hee, who was locked in the room and sulking.

“Kiik. He carefully lay down next to Cheon Hee, covered in a dark blanket, and cautiously detected a sulking Cheon Hee beside him.

“We haven’t seen each other in over ten years. For me as a night demon, it may have felt like a moment. But the days have not passed cleanly. I feel a sense of guilt and regret that I never want to experience again.”

“….Thank you for worrying about me.”

“If you’re thankful… then don’t leave.”

“… …”

Eunho hesitated. If he just kept refusing, it would just keep repeating.

It’s too far away to hear what’s being said, no letters will be sent, in the end, Cheon Hee will have to be persuaded.

“…Cheon Hee…”

“…?”

“If Cheon Hee helps me find the body of the Black Dragon’s remains… you can do whatever you want.”

“Eunho.. you”

Cheon Hee bit his lip. That statement… that declaration. It was the same as what Eunho had said to Houn in the past, causing waves of self-loathing to wash over himself.

It was nothing short of a promise to sacrifice oneself.

There was a moment of silence.

Cheon Hee tried to choose his words carefully.

Should he be angry? Should he soothe?

“Eunho. Don’t say that lightly. You’re not a beggar on the street.”

“But I… besides this, there’s nothing else that could change Cheon Hee’s mind. For me..”

You don’t have to give me anything, just stay quiet and still, and I’ll support you for life.

Why are you trying to destroy yourself and step outside of the cage?

Cheon Hee cursed himself for pushing Eunho this far.

Eunho’s mindset was different from when it was Houn.

While Houn liked young boys and was a backstabber with a bad temper, Cheon Hee and Eunho had a mutually respectful relationship.

It wasn’t just a flippant feeling like a one-night stand, but it wasn’t a message given to the criminal who kept her imprisoned.

“….Alright. But if I feel the energy of the Black Dragon, I have to pull out immediately.”

“Thank you.”

“Such actions… Don’t tell anyone about it in the future. To the woman you truly desire…”

Cheon-hee hesitated to continue speaking. She didn’t want such a pleasant thing to happen. As she thought she might not be chosen, greed arose within her.

However, from Cheon-hee’s perspective, she worried that if Eun-ho didn’t consider her choice important, the same thing would repeat.

“The thing you’re worried about won’t happen.”

“Can I trust you?”

“Yes. I know how to distinguish people!”

“…Alright.”

2.

Won Eo Dae Cheongasked the townspeople about rumors regarding the Blood Sect.

Since it seemed to be an area where the Blood Sect didn’t frequent, the information that could be obtained was limited, but they were able to find some traces of the Blood Sect.

“It seems to be further west from here. Have they already expanded their territory like that?”

While it might not be comparable to the Demonic Sect, their influence had grown to the point where it could be considered excessive.

If they fought without the Heavenly Demon, it would be truly manageable.

“This is the plan. First, infiltrate the Blood Sect and then suppress the Blood Demons, taking the Black Dragon’s corpse.”

Eun-ho broke into a cold sweat at such a simple plan.

“Isn’t a direct assault difficult?”

“I may not have personally faced the Blood Demons, but I’ve seen their strength. The bastard has a power similar to the Heavenly God, so it’s easy to subdue. The others are trash.”

Only Cheon-jun would say that seeing the Heavenly God is similar to the Heavenly God.

Since her grandmother was inclined to respect other peasants…

[What should this Won-eo-Dae-cheong do..?]

“Your role is two-fold. Protect Eun-ho as a top priority. And send the Black Dragon’s corpse up into the sky.”

Won-eo-Dae-cheong nodded.

“Eun-ho, get on. Let’s fly quickly.”

[Wouldn’t it be better to leave Eun-ho’s ball here and go…?]

“No, Eun-ho will stay within my reach.”

Living alone would be uncomfortable for Eun-ho. After all, she hadn’t had time to adapt to the roads or the house.

-Kwaaang!!

Once again, Cheon-hee flew at an incredible speed, followed by Won-eo-Dae-cheong who bounced along.

The expedition to clear away the three Black Dragon’s corpses had begun.

3.

Thud. Thud.

In a silent and eerie cave, a viscous liquid drips steadily.

Droplets of liquid fall from stalactites.

It was blood filled with deep-seated resentment.

So much had been shed that puddles of blood formed here and there, and blood was dripping from the walls like the hands of a devil.

“Owa bara pasaora tahū….”

“Owashinla borang sinta tahū….”

Men chanting in an unknown language while performing a ritual bow. The woman being worshipped had half of her face burned.

One side was undoubtedly beautiful, but the other side was distorted and frightful.

Known as the “Blood Witch,” she swung her whip-like sword and severed all the men in the front row.

“I… I need blood. To become stronger…”

Ordinary warriors carried weapons, while magicians wielded magic.

Spiritual beings used spiritual power, and gods utilized divine power.

It is merely a way to describe the transformation of the same energy based on one’s physique.

For the Blood Witch, it was obvious that blood was her specialty.

The energy called “blood essence” was of inferior quality compared to magic.

Those who couldn’t control energy could clearly witness the blessing of life.

Extracting the essence of energy stored in the blood—**Blood Art**.

Up until this point, there seems to be no problem. But the methods of the Blood Sect claim that intense resentment and pure-hearted blood contribute to strengthening the energy.

For example, cutting the gallbladder of a compassionate man releases fresh blood, they say.

Pure resentment obtained by killing archenemies just before their ultimate demise. All her vengeful feelings became their source.

Among various groups, the leader of the Blood Sect, known for their volatile nature, groans.

“This… This won’t do… More… more…”

She knew she lacked power.

No matter how advantageous her forces were, even if she absorbed blood by avoiding battles with the unit of Yaksha, she couldn’t compare to the power of the Heavenly Demon.

The reason she confronted the Heavenly Demon was simple. Fundamentally, it was similar to the conflict between Yin and Yang, volcano and lava.

There are two types of religions with the same nature. Even if there is a long distance between continents, how can conflicts be avoided?

If we delve into more fundamental reasons, it’s because the Blood Witch possesses the corpse of the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon is the origin of magic. Therefore, one can say that there is an intimate relationship between the Blood Witch who controls blood essence and the Black Dragon’s corpse.

However, that is a false statement.

The carcass of the black dragon is still spilling its deadly blood.

While the Black Dragon is also a divine being, it bleeds too.

If you bleed, that means

“Suckfest”

– Joowaab! All the blood spilled in the cave went into the Blood Demon’s body.

“Bleeding can be my strength.”

The Blood Demon also wants the corpse of the Black Dragon. Specifically, its essence: The blood of the dragon.

“Get ready… I’ll absorb Black Dragon’s blood tomorrow.”

“But…we’re not ready yet.”

“What am I lacking compared to that woman?!”

A whip sword kills one of Blood Sect’s fingers.

Although he reached five stars, he died instantly and no one could resist the suction from the Blood Demon.

“The Heavenly Demons will come soon. If they take this, we’ll never be able to advance to the continent forever. I’d rather force myself to swallow it..!”
