Episode 167. The Master of the Hell Island (2)

Seo Ha-yool’s whole body was still stiff.

The sword suddenly turned red. And a darker crimson magical energy was surrounding the sword and rippling.

Shivering-.

It was like a fiercely burning fire.

If I took even one more step from here, it felt like my entire body would burn… … .

I don’t know if it was because of my mood, but the temperature inside the cave felt much higher than before.

‘It’s not my fault.’

In fact, the air inside was hotter than before.

As if to prove that fact, a drop of sweat runs down Seo Ha-yool’s forehead.

The identity of the heat that instantly raised the internal temperature was that. It was the crimson energy that was currently rippling around Yemmado’s sword.

‘That sword is definitely that of the Taoist Heavenly Demon.’

Now I could know the fact for sure.

This is the new weapon that Doshincheonma used while he was alive, Yeommado.

It was hard to believe that Yeomma Island had been abandoned for so long, but it now looked as if it was worthy of being called Myeongdo.

And Seo Ha-yul was dumbfounded by the fact that the person who brought out the true form of Yeomma Island was none other than Cheon Myeong-myeong.

‘Why did the appearance of the Hell Demon Sword change when the Heavenly Prince held it in his hand?’

It was truly a strange phenomenon.

Doesn’t it seem as if the owner of Yeomma Island is Cheon Myeong-myeong?

Even if he had held the Sword of Hell, would he have shown such a vivid red light? … Seo Ha-yool was very curious about that fact now.

Soon, Seo Ha-yool opened her mouth to Cheon Myeong-myeong as if she had decided on something.

“Before we fight the Prince of Heaven, there is one thing I want to confirm.”

“What do you want to check?”

“Can I hold that sword…?”

Whether it was Cheon Myeong Myeong who brought out the true form of Yeom Ma Do or whether it didn’t really matter if other people heard it, it was something that could be known only by directly checking it out.

Of course, in this situation, handing over the Yeomma Island to oneself would be quite a reluctant thing to do.

Since it was a situation where there was nothing she could do even if Cheon Myeong-myeong refused, Seo Ha-yool thought that she had no choice but to ask cautiously.

“…….”

Was that really an absurd request?

Seo Ha-yool gave up early on, looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong who was maintaining his silence.

Woof-.

At that moment, the energy that was rippling around Yeomma Island’s Taoist temple disappeared.

Seo Ha-yool’s eyes widened as she looked at the sight, and when Cheon Myeong-myeong approached, she flinched in surprise and showed a wary look.

“Are you planning on not putting down your sword even though I asked you to do so?”

“……?”

“Then, is it okay to take this to mean let’s fight again?”

“Okay, wait a minute……!”

Seo Ha-yool hurriedly called Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“Does that mean you’re going to hand over the Tao to me?”

“Yeah, I guess it’s okay to just hold it for a little while.”

“…….”

“Of course you have to give it back.”

Seo Ha-yool’s eyes became blank again, as if he had never thought that Cheon Myeong-myeong would accept his request.

Seo Ha-yul quickly came to his senses and hurriedly put away his sword and answered.

“Of course I’ll give it back to you.”

When Seo Ha-yool answered like that, Cheon Myeong-myeong silently held out the Yeomma-do.

The handle is kindly extended to the other side so that you can hold it right away.

Just a moment ago, it was an imminent situation where a fight could break out at any moment… Seo Ha-yool couldn’t understand why he was sticking his sword out like that.

“Is it okay to hand over the Tao so defenselessly?”

“Why? Are you trying to stab me with this?”

“That, that’s not what I meant!”

“Then what’s the problem?”

“…….”

When I thought about it, there was no problem at all.

Because he had no intention of stabbing Cheon Myeong Myeong in the Yeomma Road.

However, Seo Ha-yool asked that question because he could not understand Cheon Myeong-myeong’s actions with his own common sense.

Swish-.

Seo Ha-yool carefully reached out and received the Yeomma-do that Cheon Myeong-myeong offered.

Until then, the sword of the Yeomma Island still maintained its red glow, and at that moment, Seo Ha-yul realized something.

‘Wait a minute… … This doesn’t mean anything, does it?’

The Yeomma Island had already shed its faded appearance and transformed into its true form.

In that situation, it would be impossible to resolve the question by holding the Yeommado.

It was only possible to confirm that fact if he had caught it first when the Yeomma-do was in an old state.

Sus-.

Seo Ha-yul thought that there would be no significant gains, so he tried to return the Yeomma Island to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

But at that moment, a change occurs in the Taoist priestess of Yeomma Island.

The sword, which had been red until just a moment ago, was noticeably losing its color.

Eventually, the red light completely disappeared from the sword, and it returned to its original appearance when it was first discovered.

“……!”

Seo Ha-yool couldn’t help but be surprised at the sight.

Oh my god, the color of the sword changes right before my eyes.

Seo Ha-yool couldn’t help but feel dazed when he saw the color change as soon as he held the Yeomma Sword.

‘… the color returned to its original state.’

Of course, it wasn’t the old look it had when I first saw it.

It wasn’t just a red glow, it was still showing off a brightness that could be called brightness.

But didn’t Seo Ha-yul see Yeom Ma-do’s true form?

Seo Ha-yul knew that the Yeomma-do in his hand was a fake.

Swish-.

A gaze directed towards Cheon Myeong-myeong with blank eyes.

The red light on the sword disappeared as soon as he held it… … This could only mean one thing.

‘The Taoist priestess of Yeomma Island is red.’

Everyone in the world knew it, and only that one characteristic was passed down to later generations.

However, Seo Ha-yool was able to find out that there was one thing that people did not know.

That is, if someone other than the owner holds the Sword of Hell, it will lose its red color just like it does now.

Since Gumado was the master of Yemmado and he always kept Yemmado by his side, it was natural for people to know that Yemmado’s sword was originally red.

‘That means… … .’

Cheon Myeong-Myeong, are you saying that this person is the owner of Yeomma Island?

No, to be exact, it seemed that rather than the owner, the god of the Hell Demon Island would only turn red if certain conditions were met.

Seo Ha-yool didn’t know what the condition was, but he knew for sure that Cheon Myeong-myeong met the condition that he didn’t.

“How long are you going to hold it?”

“…Oh, I’m sorry.”

At Cheon Myeong-myeong’s voice, Seo Ha-yool came to her senses and immediately returned the Yeomma-do.

Sus-.

The moment Cheon Myeong-myeong holds the Yeomma Sword, the swordsman immediately turns red.

Seeing that sight, Seo Ha-yool was able to confirm that her thoughts were correct.

“Then is it okay to start now?”

“…….”

“It would be a bit awkward to fight here, so let’s distance ourselves a bit.”

Cheon Myeong-Myeong said this and tried to return to where he was from.

“…You are the master of that path.”

Then a voice was heard from behind.

Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped walking and looked at Seo Ha-yul again.

“Doshincheonma Gumado. His new soldier, Yeommado, is said to have a blazing red glow.”

“…….”

“I don’t know why, but the Hell Demon shows its true form only when you hold it.”

Lips hesitating for a moment.

Soon, Seo Ha-yool opened her mouth again as if she had made up her mind.

“You are the one chosen by the Demon King.”

“…….”

“It’s not me, it’s you… So even if I bring it by force, I don’t think the Yemmado will be able to fully display its original power.”

To be honest, before that, I didn’t have the confidence to defeat Cheon Myeong Myeong even by force.

The new weapon that Doshincheonma used during his lifetime, Yeommado.

I’ve never heard of a Tao that allows one to choose one’s own master, but isn’t that why it’s called the divine weapon used by the Heavenly Demon?

Regardless of everything, Seo Ha-yul had no choice but to respect Yeom Ma-do’s choice.

“Does that mean you’re giving up the Tao?”

“Yes, but I will take Dosincheonma’s martial arts.”

“…….”

“If the secret is found in the body of Dosincheonma, please give it to me.”

Even if he handed over the Yeomma Island, he couldn’t give up the martial arts of the Guma Island.

Of course, the idea that Gumado had left behind a secret recipe was only Seo Ha-yool’s hope.

The reason he had searched for traces of Gumado until now was precisely because of that hope, and Seo Ha-yool’s eyes showed a determination not to back down.

“Do as you wish. I’m not really interested in that level of detail.”

Hearing those words, Seo Ha-yool let out a sigh of relief.

Wouldn’t any martial artist desire strong martial arts skills?

I thought that even if it was the martial arts of Dosincheonma, anyone would be interested.

However, contrary to expectations, Cheon Myeong-myeong spoke like that, so it was a truly fortunate situation for Seo Ha-yool.

Of course, Seo Ha-yul didn’t know the real reason why Cheon Myeong-myeong wasn’t interested in secrets.

Thud- thud-.

Seo Ha-yul went straight to Gumado’s body.

“…Excuse me.”

It was quite rude to touch the corpse of a deceased person.

But since there was nothing that looked like emergency clothing on the outside, Seo Ha-yool had no choice but to look inside the clothes.

After offering a polite apology with folded hands, Seo Ha-yul searched every corner of the body.

‘…does not exist.’

No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything that looked urgent.

Far from being an emergency, all that comes out of my bosom is dust that has accumulated over the years.

Of course, he had thought that nothing would come out, but when nothing actually came out, Seo Ha-yool couldn’t help but feel deeply disappointed.

‘Is heaven forsaking its religion?’

The current Cheonma Shinkyo was too weak to deal with the Magic Cult.

You could tell just by looking at the power of Seogugyo, the leader and father of Seo Ha-yul.

Of course, he is also considered to be one of the best, but compared to the previous Heavenly Horses, he is considerably weaker.

In order for the Cheonmasingyo religion to revive, the power of its leader must be stronger than anything else.

That was the reason why Seo Ha-yool had been searching for Gumado’s martial arts all this time.

dump-.

Traces of the Kumado were found, but nothing was harvested.

With all of her past efforts in vain, Seo Ha-yool eventually collapsed on the floor, seemingly exhausted.

“I guess you didn’t find what you were looking for.”

At that moment, a thousand voices were heard from behind.

Seo Ha-yool remained silent with her head bowed, as if she had no energy to answer those words.

“So you’re going to give up?”

“…….”

Soon, Seo Ha-yool got up from her seat.

“No. I will never give up.”

“…….”

“Even if there is no secret of the Doshincheonma…. No matter what happens, I will return the current Cheonma Shingyo to its original position.”

The gaze and tone of voice directed at Cheon Myeong-myeong now showed a strong will.

I thought he was completely exhausted… … But looking at him like that, it seemed like he didn’t really need any consolation.

Cheon Myeong-myeong let out a small laugh and walked away.

“Then I guess I should get out of here first.”

“……?”

“Wouldn’t that be the only way to revive the Cheonmasin Church or anything else?”

At those words, Seo Ha-yool’s face became puzzled.

“Of course I want to go out too.”

“…….”

“There’s no exit, so how on earth am I supposed to get out…….”

“This is how it goes.”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong stopped walking.

At the same time, an intense magical energy rises from the sea of ​​hell.

As if realizing what Cheon Myeong-myeong was trying to do, Seo Ha-yool’s eyes widened rapidly.

“Okay, wait a minute……!”

Cheon Myeong-myeong swung his sword without giving Seo Ha-yool a chance to stop him.

At that moment, a tremendous shock was created inside her, and as a storm raged, Seo Ha-yool lowered her head and covered her face with both arms.

Boom-!

The surroundings soon became quiet.

When the storm seemed to have died down, Seo Ha-yool lowered the arm she had been covering and raised her head.

“What the heck is this……!”

What if the ceiling collapses again?

Seo Ha-yool raised his head to ask exactly that, but when his vision flashed and he couldn’t see anything, he frowned and covered his face with his arm again.

‘It’s dazzling… … ‘

What obscured Seo Ha-yul’s eyes was an intense light.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen warm sunlight in the pitch-black darkness.

As her eyes adjusted to the light, Seo Ha-yool slowly lowered her arms and opened her eyes.

“……!”

At that moment, Seo Ha-yool’s eyes widened in shock.

A huge hole appeared in the cave wall. The view beyond was clearly outside.

“If you keep wandering, you will eventually see the light.”

“…….”

“Just like now.”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s voice was heard.

As soon as their eyes met, Cheon Myeong-myeong started walking away, and Seo Ha-yool blankly stared at his back as he walked away, repeating what he had just said.

‘no way…….’

Are you saying that to yourself just now?

If you keep wandering, you will eventually see the light. Seo Ha-yool was able to know that this was Cheon Myeong-myeong’s way of consoling herself.

Huh-.

When Seo Ha-yool realized that fact, she let out a small laugh.

“Let’s go together!”

Seo Ha-yool runs towards Cheon Myeong-myeong with a powerful voice.

The two of them exited the dark tunnel and walked together toward the outside where there was light.
