Episode 226. Four Candidates (2)

Even though he was the last to arrive here, Cheon Il-myeong’s pace was extremely leisurely.

As if everyone here had gathered there for themselves.

Cheon Il-myeong was walking towards the Nakcheonmun Gate with his gaze straight ahead.

“That’s too bad.”

If it had been just a little bit later, Cheon Il-myeong would have been eliminated, but since the word of elimination had not officially come out of Nakcheonmun’s mouth yet, it seemed like the draw would proceed as is.

Cheon Aeng-hwa muttered in a low voice, as if she was extremely sorry about that fact.

“You have arrived.”

“…….”

“Put your hand here and pull out one of the red cards.”

Cheon Il-myeong reached into his pocket without hesitation and took out his red sword.

The number written on the red card that Cheon Il-myeong took out. It had the number 1 written on it.

“The Thousand-Yi-Ming Confucius is number one. I will have the first fight with the person who chooses this number.”

It seemed like the people who drew numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 were having a fight.

That is, the person who picks this time will face off against Cheon Il Myeong.

As the order of the Thousand Days was decided, a strange current seemed to flow through the room.

Swish-.

At that moment, Cheon Il-myeong turned around and walked away.

It seemed like he was going to wait in the back after finishing the drawing, but Cheon Il-myeong didn’t stop walking and was about to leave the room.

“Master Cheon Il Myeong, where are you going?”

“…Hasn’t my draw finished yet?”

“There are still other people’s drawings left. Can you please not check until the end?”

“No need.”

“…….”

“No matter who my opponent is, I will just kill them.”

At those words, the air in the room seemed to turn cold in an instant.

Quite arrogant… but in Cheon Il-myeong’s case, he was more than qualified to say such things.

A statement that can be made because you are at the top of the food chain.

In Cheon Il-myeong’s eyes, all three of them, except for himself, seemed to be the same prey.

Hwaak-.

At that time, an enormous murderous intent was directed at Cheon Il-myeong.

Cheon Il-myeong sensed the presence of life and immediately turned his gaze in that direction.

“…What are you doing now?”

The person who was breathing life into Cheon Il-myeong was Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Cheon Il-myeong asked with genuine curiosity, as he could not believe that someone would dare to breathe such murderous aura upon him.

“I just let you know.”

“…….”

“Just as you can kill me, I can kill you too.”

“You’re… going to kill me?”

It was something I truly couldn’t understand.

Soon, Cheon Il-myeong let out a faint smile, then returned to his expressionless face and opened his mouth.

“That’s interesting.”

“…….”

“I really hope so.”

At that moment, life energy flowed out from Cheon Il-myeong’s body.

Salgi immediately repelled Cheonmyeongmyeong’s Salgi and pushed forward, trying to overwhelm Cheonmyeong instead.

‘… What a guy.’

I was able to know more clearly after experiencing life.

The guy is definitely a beast. A ferocious beast that even preys on other beasts.

Could he really catch that guy? Cheon Myeong-myeong couldn’t help but wonder that in the face of that fierce murderous intent.

Sssssss-.

The fierce fighting spirit that had been clashing at that time disappeared as if it were a lie.

Cheon Il-myeong took Sal-gi first, and Cheon Myeong-myeong also took Sal-gi almost at the same time.

“If you can.”

With those words, Cheon Il-myeong turned around and left the room.

“…Then, let’s continue with the drawing. The next in line is Prince Cheon Tae-bong.”

As Cheon Il-myeong left the room, Nakcheonmun continued the drawing.

The second order is Cheon Tae-bong. The number of red cards he drew was three.

Swish-.

The order of the draw followed the order of passing the previous competition.

Since the last person to pass was Cheon Myeong-myeong, the third place naturally went to Cheon Aeng-hwa.

“…….”

This draw was the most important.

The ones currently drawn are 1st and 3rd. The match-up will be determined based on what Cheon Ae-Hwa draws.

Cheon Aeng-hwa also knew that fact, so she couldn’t pull it out right away, but was carefully selecting the red cards in the box.

“Please show me.”

After quite some time, Cheon Aeng-hwa finally pulled out the red card.

Since she had covered the number part with her hand, Cheon Aeng-hwa herself did not know which number she had drawn.

At Nakcheonmun’s words, Cheon Aenghwa swallowed her saliva and slowly revealed the part she had covered.

“…I confirmed it.”

“…….”

“The number chosen by Miss Cheon Aeng-hwa is this. With this, Prince Cheon Myeong-myeong will automatically become number four.”

In the end, Cheon Il-myeong’s opponent was decided to be Cheon Aeng-hwa.

Cheon Aeng-hwa stepped back with a darker expression than before, as if she was not happy about that fact.

“Cheon Il Myeong vs. Cheon Aeng Hwa. Cheon Tae Bong vs. Cheon Myeong Myeong.”

“…….”

“The bracket has been decided like this. From now on, I hope you will show us excellent skills worthy of the candidate for the Young Leader.”

The Nakcheonmun officially announced the draw.

At that moment, a huge shadow appeared right in front of Cheon Myeong-myeong.

thud-!

Cheon Tae-bong landed on the floor with both feet, creating a heavy vibration.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Cheon Tae-bong, who had jumped in front of him, without saying a word, and Cheon Tae-bong had a smile on his face as if he was so happy about something.

“That went well.”

“…….”

“I will slaughter you on the Celestial Stage. You will be chopped to pieces like minced meat in front of thousands of believers, so that you will not be recognized!”

Cheon Tae-bong was secretly hoping that Cheon Myeong-myeong would pick number 4.

Although it was interrupted by the Nakcheonmun, Cheon Myeong-myeong naturally remembered the insults directed at him.

If it’s a heavenly stage, no one will be able to stop you.

Cheon Tae-bong was very happy that Cheon Myeong-myeong was his opponent.

“Yeah, that’s good.”

“……?”

“Before I defeat Cheon Il Myeong, I’ll start with you first.”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong also glared at Cheon Tae-bong with sharp eyes.

“You will have to pay for the sin of insulting your mother with your own body.”

Like Cheon Tae-bong, Cheon Myeong-myeong also remembered the fact that he had insulted his mother.

When Cheon Myeong-myeong warned him in a cold voice, Cheon Tae-bong smiled meaningfully.

“good night.”

“…….”

“I can’t wait. That moment when I’ll see your smashed head.”

A few days later, on the Celestial Stage. It seemed as if the strong smell of blood was already flowing out there.

* * *

It’s been three years.

After the secret battle that decided the leader of the Demonic Corps, the Heavenly Stage was opened for the first time today.

The final four candidates are fighting here for the position of the leader of the small cult. The atmosphere of the Heavenly Stage is already heated up by this fact alone.

“Who said he was left as a candidate?”

“Prince Cheon Il-myeong, Prince Cheon Tae-bong, and Miss Cheon Aeng-hwa.”

“There are four of you. Who is the other one?”

“That’s right… He is Prince Cheon Myeong Myeong.”

“Prince Cheon Myeong Myeong? Who is that?”

“You must have heard of it. Prince Baek.”

The seats were already filled with spectators.

As befitting its reputation of being able to accommodate nearly ten thousand people at once, the Cheonsangbi Stage was extremely large.

There were hardly any empty seats in the large seating area, and even now people were coming in and filling the few empty spaces that were left.

The opening of the Cheon Sang Bi stage after a long time was like a festival for them.

Of course, it was an important place to decide the new leader, but apart from that, the followers were excited about the fact that they had something fun to see.

“Baek Gongja? Wait… Isn’t that person ranked 100th?”

“that’s right.”

“How did someone ranked 100th get here…. Was it just luck?”

“You got here just by luck?”

“…That’s also strange.”

Ten thousand people. At the center of the fire was a thousand people.

Although the four candidates have not yet been officially announced, rumors have already spread and most parishioners know who the four are.

Among them, there was one person who was questionable as to why he was included.

The fact that Cheon Myeong-myeong’s name was on the bracket that was thought to consist only of candidates from the Ten Houses of Magic felt quite out of place to anyone who looked at it.

“Aren’t the rumors wrong?”

“That may be true, but it’s pretty accurate.”

“…….”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

The candidates will appear shortly.

There were quite a few church members who came here to confirm the truth of the rumor.

A huge stage located in the center with wide seats. No one was there yet.

Thud- thud-.

That was when.

When someone appeared on stage, the audience’s eyes naturally turned in that direction.

“…….”

The person who came up to the stage was Cheon Il-myeong.

The most likely candidate for the head of the small group in this competition. The room became quiet in an instant when he appeared.

“…You are the Confucius of Thousand Days.”

“Will this new leader also be taken by the Chocheon family?”

“That’s probably true. Furthermore, there is a story that Master Cheon Il Myeong possessed talents that surpassed those of the previous religious leaders.”

“Then it’s already over.”

Everyone was expecting Cheon Il Myeong to win.

There was also the reason that all the previous religious leaders came from the Chocheon family, but even if we ignore the family background, Cheon Il-myeong’s personal reputation was extremely great.

The person who destroyed the Pungwol Sect. Because of his achievements, Cheon Il Myeong was already well known within the Magic Sect.

Looking at the past leaders, there was no one who had achieved such great things at that age, so it was only natural that Cheon Il-myeong would become the sub-leader.

“There’s more coming out.”

Following Cheon Il Myeong, Cheon Tae Bong and Cheon Aeng Hwa also appeared.

With this, three candidates have appeared. Up until now, they have all been consistent with what we have heard through rumors.

So does that really mean that the last one is Cheon Myeong Myeong?

As everyone was paying attention to that fact, the last person slowly walked out onto the stage.

“…….”

A person walking towards the stage with a blank expression. That person was, of course, Cheon Myeong-myeong.

The long-awaited figure of fire appeared, but most of the audience was looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong with a puzzled expression.

“Is that guy Baek Gongja?”

“It seems like… something like that?”

“I don’t know your face, so I don’t know if it’s right or not.”

The other three were relatively well-known by face, but Cheon Myeong-myeong was relatively unknown by face.

Moreover, hadn’t he been away from Cheonsan for three years?

The atmosphere had changed a lot in the meantime, so even if they knew the past names of the deceased, most people would not recognize them.

chuck-.

The four candidates came up to the center of the stage.

The magnificent music heard in the room at that time.

That sound meant only one thing. Ten thousand people all stared at one place, as if they were lying, as if they were silent.

Jerk- Jerk-

There was a place that stood out among the audience seats.

A seat specially prepared for the distinguished guests of the Magic Church. Among them, one person was walking forward from the highest seat.

As soon as he appeared, all the congregation bowed their heads, and soon, as if by magic, the music that had been ringing in the hall stopped.

“A lot of blood was shed.”

“…….”

“The candidates were evaluated on their abilities for the position of the head of the small cult. And now, out of a hundred, only four remain.”

Soon, Cheon Si-rang’s voice began to echo throughout the room.

It was a range that would not have been possible with a normal voice, but when he spoke with all his energy, Cheon Si-rang’s voice was clearly transmitted to even the person who was the furthest away.

“Today, four candidates will show off their skills here.”

“…….”

“Look! And you shall be witnesses. The young leader of the Magical Cult will be born under the watchful eyes of ten thousand people!”

Cheon Si-rang raised his voice and forcefully stretched out his right hand.

“The final competition is about to begin!”

The sound of a gong echoed throughout the hall at the same time as the declaration.

Soon, cheers filled the heavenly stage, drowning out the sound of the gong.
