Episode 232. It’s unnecessarily grandiose.

Cheon Myeong-myeong looked at Gu-hwan with surprised eyes.

‘… It’s certain.’

Cheon Myeong-Myeong had seen the face of Gu-Hwan hidden under the mask.

Of course, I only saw part of the broken mask, but I still clearly remember those eyes.

Who would have thought that I would meet Gu-Hwan again in a place like this?

Cheon Myeong-myeong didn’t know how to react to this unexpected encounter.

“…….”

Was Gu-Hwan an enemy or an ally? Cheon Myeong-Myeong still wondered about that fact.

It was clear that he was a member of the Magic Heaven, but considering all that he had done for me, he was closer to an ally than an enemy.

Moreover, didn’t he just kill one of the enemies who surrounded him just a moment ago?

What on earth is the true identity of Gu-Hwan…? While Cheon Myeong-Myeong was pondering such questions, Gu-Hwan began to move.

visor-.

This time, Gu-Hwan was seen attacking the man in black.

The appearance of Gu-Hwan seemed unexpected to them, and a gap appeared in an instant.

Gu-Hwan took advantage of the gap and attacked the enemies, and as two more fell, it seemed that the enemies had now recognized Gu-Hwan as an enemy.

‘Strong.’

As I felt last time, Gu-Hwan was an incredibly strong man.

The black-clad men who were surrounding him now seemed like masters who could easily use their sword skills, but Gu-Hwan didn’t even get a scratch from fighting against such enemies.

Rather, he was showing off his overwhelming power over a large number of enemies, and was cutting down enemies in all directions.

‘Is there some kind of internal strife?’

The black-clad men surrounding him were definitely the Demon King.

They appeared to be assassins sent by Cheon Dae-seong to make Cheon Il-myeong the leader of the cult, but Cheon Myeong-myeong could not understand why those assassins were fighting Gu-hwan now.

Could it be that there is a power struggle within the Magic Heaven that he is unaware of?

The exact reason was unknown, but it was still fortunate for Cheon Myeong-myeong that they were fighting among themselves.

Pot-.

While they’re fighting amongst themselves, I’ll get out of here.

Once you reach the Heavenly Stage, no matter how lowly the Heavenly Star is, you won’t be able to kill yourself openly.

Cheon Myeong-myeong quickly ran towards the area where the encirclement was weak.

Sreung-.

Although the enemies’ attention was focused on Gu-Hwan, it was still not as if he was completely vulnerable.

Since he had to defeat the enemy in order to somehow escape from here, Cheon Myeong-myeong drew his sword and stabbed it at the enemy he saw in front of him.

visor-!

However, it seemed like they were responding to the swordsmanship of a thousand people.

He stabbed openly, but he blocked it calmly. I could tell that the enemy was not something to be taken lightly.

‘I guess there’s nothing I can do.’

I wanted to conserve my strength as much as possible, but that meant I couldn’t defeat the enemy quickly.

If you save your strength for no reason, won’t you lose strength faster?

While everyone’s attention is on Gu-hwan, I’ll quickly deal with it and get out of here. That was Cheon Myeong-myeong’s immediate decision.

Woof-.

At that moment, sword energy surged from the Wind Demon Sword.

The sudden change in the blade made the enemy look flustered, and Cheon Myeong-myeong did not miss the opportunity to turn his body and swing his sword.

visor-!

This time too, he managed to block a small sword attack.

However, unlike before, the fact that the blocking posture was quite dangerous was something that Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was swinging the sword, could most easily notice.

I swung a few more times, this time completely losing my body’s balance.

Cheon Myeong-myeong didn’t miss the gap and accurately stabbed the sword in.

Phew-.

In the end, the Wind Demon Sword pierced the enemy’s heart.

As soon as he saw it, Cheon Myeong-myeong immediately pulled out his sword and tried to run forward.

‘… It’s late.’

However, several enemies were already blocking the path.

Even though I pulled out my sword, it took longer than expected to cut down the enemy.

In the end, do I have to knock down all the guys over there and then pass?

Any further fighting would likely have a significant impact on the fight against Cheon Il-myeong.

“…….”

Still, there was nothing I could do.

It was much better to arrive on time and fight even when you were low on stamina than to be late and lose.

With that thought, Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly raised his left hand and grabbed the handle of the Yeomma-do.

Whoosh-.

At that moment, Gu-Hwan appeared in the middle of the enemies blocking Cheon Myeong-Myeong’s path.

As he swung his sword in a large stroke, as if he was painting with a brush, energy scattered around him, and the enemies were cut down or thrown back by the impact.

‘…Healthy.’

As expected, Guhwan was a strong man who could display his sword skills.

Seeing Gu-Hwan’s incompetent skills in instantly driving away enemies and creating a path, Cheon Myeong-Myeong held onto the Yeom-Ma-Dao and glared at him.

“What are you doing there?”

“…….”

“Go ahead and pass.”

As expected, Gu-Hwan seemed to be trying to help himself.

But Gu-Hwan’s behavior is still incomprehensible.

Cheon Myeong-myeong asked Gu-hwan while maintaining his guard.

“Were you the one who treated me last time?”

“…….”

“You must be a demon too. Why are you helping me?”

“Are you curious about that even in this situation?”

At Cheon Myeong-myeong’s question, Gu-hwan laughed as if he found it ridiculous.

“This is not the place to talk about it.”

“…….”

“If we meet again, I’ll tell you. Don’t you have other priorities right now?”

Next time we meet again… …. That tone of voice sounded like it was predicting the future.

There were still many things that were unclear about the identity of the rescue, but as I said, now was not the time to be having a leisurely conversation.

As Cheon Myeong-myeong let go of the Yeomma-do he was holding, Gu-hwan ran forward.

visor-!

For a moment, it seemed like he was rushing towards Cheon Myeong-myeong, but Gu-hwan’s sword was aimed at the man in black.

It was a scene where Gu-Hwan was blocking Cheon Myeong-Myeong from attacking him from behind, and while facing each other with their swords facing each other, Gu-Hwan spoke to Cheon Myeong-Myeong.

“good.”

“…….”

At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong kicked the ground and ran forward.

Gu-Hwan confirmed the sight and pushed away the black-clad man he was confronting with with his sword.

Pot-.

As soon as the enemy was pushed back, the new form of Guhwan rose high into the air.

Several black-clad men were chasing after Cheon Myeong-myeong in the direction he was fleeing, and Gu-hwan jumped in that direction and swung his sword downwards as he passed by the black-clad men.

Chook-.

A sharp stream of air flowed out, blocking the path of the men in black.

It was clear that if they had run any further forward, they would have been cut by the sharp blade, so the men in black could no longer chase Cheon Myeong-myeong and had no choice but to retreat.

A clear boundary line was created where the river had passed. Behind it, Gu-Hwan, who had just swung his sword, landed leisurely.

“From now on, anyone who crosses this line will die.”

“…….”

Gu-Hwan’s eyes flashed and he warned the men in black.

The heavenly stage was already filled with spectators.

During the semi-finals, there seemed to be some empty seats, but today, it seemed so full that you couldn’t find an empty seat.

“Is it still far? I think it’s almost time.”

“It’ll start soon. By the way, there are a lot of people here.”

“That’s right. Did you all come to see Baek Gongja?”

Cheonsan was now full of talk about Cheonmyeongmyeong.

When word spread that he had advanced to the finals by showing off his overwhelming skills, people flocked to the finals to see for themselves his skills.

There were people who had been waiting at the entrance since the day before, and even now, there were still many people waiting outside, unable to come in.

“Wow… there really are a lot of people.”

Of course, Cheon Yu-su was also at Cheon Sang-bi Stage to watch the finals.

He was sitting in a seat reserved for VIPs, not for the general public, and was looking around with his mouth wide open.

“Of course. Right now, Cheonsan is full of talk about the finals.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Thank you. Without my help, you wouldn’t have gotten in here.”

Cheon Aeng-hwa was also sitting next to Cheon Yu-su.

In fact, the reason Cheon Yu-su was able to sit in the VIP seat was because of Cheon Aeng-hwa’s help.

If it weren’t for that, I would have been stuck in that cramped space, buried in the crowd, or, as Cheon Aeng-hwa said, I might not have been able to even get in and out.

“Go, thank you.”

Even though he received help from Cheon Aeng-hwa, Cheon Yu-su still seemed to have difficulty with Cheon Aeng-hwa.

“Thank you.”

“……?”

“But what about the name? Does the condition seem okay?”

You told me to be grateful, but now that you’ve said it, it’s done.

Cheon Yu-su thought that Cheon Aeng-hwa was a strange person, but of course he did not express that thought out loud.

“Actually, I’ve never seen the name before either.”

“…….”

“So I also don’t know what the status of Naming is…….”

Even Cheon Yu-su, who could be considered his closest confidant, has never seen Cheon Myeong-myeong.

In fact, Cheon Aeng-hwa visited Cheon Myeong-myeong personally several times after that.

However, he could not meet Cheon Myeong-myeong, and it was impossible to find Cheon Myeong-myeong’s whereabouts even if he used his information power.

‘…I hope you’re okay?’

It was clear that secret plots would run rampant as it was a secret meeting to decide the leader of the sect.

So, he went to find Cheon Myeong-myeong to protect him for the remaining time… …. Before he could even say those words, Cheon Myeong-myeong disappeared without a trace.

‘…It’ll be okay.’

Cheon Myeong-myeong told him to watch the finals.

Wasn’t it obvious that the person who disappeared was undergoing special training to defeat Cheon Il-myeong?

Cheon Aeng-hwa held her two hands tightly as if trying to shake off any trace of anxiety.

Thud- thud-.

At that moment, the room started to tremble.

The two finalists, one of whom was now coming up onto the stage.

“…….”

That one was Cheon Il Myeong.

The appearance of Cheon Il Myeong means that the rain will soon begin.

The audience couldn’t hide their excitement at the thought that they would soon be able to see a spectacular performance.

“……?”

But something was strange.

A thousand days have passed since Cheon Il-myeong came up on stage, but the other one has still not shown up.

“What? Why isn’t it showing up?”

“Yeah… Time’s almost up.”

“What happens if I don’t show up when the time is up?”

“Of course it’s disqualification.”

As Cheon Myeong-myeong continued to not show up, the crowd’s commotion grew louder.

Surely, if Cheon Myeong-myeong doesn’t show up, I won’t be disqualified?

Of course, no one came here expecting something like that, so soon people started chanting Cheonmyeongmyeong as if they were protesting.

“Baek geukja! Baek geukja!”

Previously, it was a reign title that expressed condolences to the inaction of a thousand men, but now it is a reign title that is almost like a jeer.

So in the end, all the rumors about Cheon Myeong Myeong were false?

As the Heavenly Mandate did not appear despite repeated reigns, voices of criticism grew louder.

“…….”

The Nakcheonmun Gate was already on the stage.

The fact that Cheonmyeongmyeong has not appeared until now was something that even Nakcheonmun did not expect.

Swish-.

A glance towards Cheon Si-rang.

The scheduled time has already passed.

It seemed like he had to make a decision now, so Nakcheonmun looked at Cheon Sirang, but Cheon Sirang was still sitting in his seat, remaining silent.

‘… I can’t help it.’

There was no more time to delay.

It was regrettable for Nakcheonmun to see the finals end this way, but as a judge, it was time to make a decision.

Nakcheonmun slowly raised his right hand and tried to declare Cheon Il-myeong’s victory.

Dismissal-.

That was when.

A ray of light appeared in the empty space of the Celestial Stage.

As if struck by lightning, the light descended rapidly and fell onto the stage.

“……!”

At the sight, the room suddenly became quiet.

A beam of light fell on the stage. Someone was standing in it.

Shhh-.

Looking at that sight, the corners of Cheon Si-rang’s mouth slightly went up.

“That’s unnecessarily grandiose.”

But it’s not bad.

Didn’t he just shut the mouths of those who had been booing him just a moment ago?

Not only Cheon Si-rang, but everyone else was looking at where the beam of light had fallen.

“…….”

Cheon Myeong-myeong stood in the splendid light as if he were the main character.
