Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 109
Only Noblemtl
Episode 109
A violent fight.
A martial art that allows you to move objects without touching them.
It was a martial art that could only be used by those who had reached a certain level of skill.
Moreover, in order to freely pull an object as heavy as an adult male, one would have to reach a much higher level.
Mu-gang performed such martial arts without lifting a finger.
Even targeting Youngsoo, who is quite strong.
“Ugh… … .”
Yeongsu, who was grabbed by Mu-gang’s neck, was unable to move.
This is because the powerful attack of Mugang had completely taken control of Yeongsu’s body.
In this situation, it was very easy for Mu-gang to kill Yeong-su.
But Youngsoo wasn’t nervous or worried.
Because he knew that Mu-gang wouldn’t kill him anyway.
There was only one standard by which Mugang judged humans.
Useful.
If they are useful, they are employed; if they are not, they are discarded.
Therefore, kill your opponent only when killing him will be of use to you.
So Youngsoo smiled inwardly.
Because even if he died here, there was nothing of use to Mugang.
Moo-gang asked.
“Do you think I can’t kill you?”
“Because I am confident that I can prove my usefulness.”
“Useless… … .”
Moo-gang nodded slightly and continued speaking.
“Yes, if it’s useful, then that’s enough reason to keep it alive.”
“Yes, that’s it.”
“But that was when you were still a member of the Jeongsa Murim.”
“… … ?”
“If you are a member of the Demonic Cult or are related to the Demonic Cult, that is reason enough to kill you.”
“…Do you suspect that I am a cultist?”
“I don’t know. But now I will know.”
Yeongsu seemed to know why Mu-gang was being so tough on him.
‘You suspect me of being the cultist who murdered Goga.’
The problem was that it was half true.
It was true that Youngsoo had used the magic sword to kill Goga.
It’s just that Youngsoo wasn’t a demon cult member.
‘But the evidence is vague and there is no physical evidence at all?’
The moment I thought that.
OMG-
Moo-gang began to focus his energy on both eyes.
“If you are a demonic cultist, the aftereffects of demonic power will remain on your body.”
“… … ?”
“If you have used magic even once, and if there is even a single hair of magic left in your body, you will die.”
“… … !”
A light began to shine from both of Mu-gang’s eyes.
Youngsoo also knew the terrifying aura in those two eyes.
An eye that can even detect the afterglow of a magic spell written only once many years ago.
The eyes began to search through all the energy flowing out of Youngsoo’s body.
At the same time, Youngsoo thought about it.
At that time, when he was destroying the Goga clan, he saw himself swinging his magic sword and scattering magic energy.
Using a magic sword was no different from using magic.
So Youngsoo shut his eyes tightly, feeling nervous.
And a little later.
Moo-gang asked.
“What is your name?”
“This is Cheon Yeong-su.”
“Cheon Yeong-su… … .”
Bam.
Moo-gang took his hands off Yeong-su’s neck.
* * *
‘phew.’
Yeongsu let out a short sigh of relief inwardly.
Youngsoo knew.
That Moo-gang would not be able to detect even a little bit of magic from his own body.
The reason why no magic was detected at all in Youngsu’s body was simple.
Because I had the holy sword.
The saint is the natural enemy of the devil, and the devil is the natural enemy of the saint.
Therefore, the energy of the holy sword erases magic, and magic erases the energy of the holy sword.
Mutually canceling out.
Therefore, if you hold the Holy Sword and the Magic Sword together, neither the Holy Sword’s energy nor the Magic Energy will remain in your body.
‘That’s why I somehow managed to obtain the Holy Sword.’
And thanks to this, the cumbersome process of soaking the magic sword in unicorn blood can be omitted.
Before obtaining the Holy Sword, the method of storing the Demon Sword was difficult.
Because the magic sword should have been soaked in a cylinder of unicorn blood.
Otherwise, the magical energy flowing from the Demon Sword would contaminate other equipment in the inventory.
But after obtaining the Holy Sword, I no longer had to do that.
The Holy Sword and the Demon Sword cancel each other out.
Anyway, for this reason, Moo-gang was unable to detect the magic energy in Yeong-su’s body.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Yeongsu and Moogang looked at each other for a while.
A tense atmosphere hung in the room.
Mu-gang had some suspicions about Yeong-su, but there was no evidence.
Yeongsu did not avert his eyes in order not to be pushed back in this fight and to prove his usefulness.
A little later.
Mu-gang called out loud to the servant outside.
“Banseoho!”
“yes!”
A boy named Ban Seo-ho opened the door to the office and came in.
A young boy who appears to be around 15 to 17 years old.
He was the closest servant to Mu-gang.
Mugang ordered.
“Have Lee Ja give the guest room of Cheongho Hall to him.”
“Cheongho Hall… … ?!”
Ban Seo-ho looked at Yeong-su with surprised eyes and said.
“Come here. I will show you around.”
Yeongsu followed Ban Seoho out of the office.
The moment I left the door like that.
Youngsoo ran into a familiar face.
“oh.”
“uh?”
The person we met was none other than Sa Hyeon-ik.
He is the leader of the ‘Gwiyeongdan’, an assassination squad directly under the leader of the martial arts world, and the closest aide to the leader, Mugang.
I once ran into Youngsoo on the street in front of Haomun.
Hyunik asked.
“…Why are you here?”
Instead of answering, Youngsoo put the gold mask he was holding on his face.
Hyun-ik’s eyes widened when he recognized the mask.
“you……!”
“Ask the leader for more details. I’m tired, so I’ll stop here.”
Yeongsu followed Banseoho to Cheongho Hall.
* * *
Inside the leader’s office.
After sending Youngsoo out, Moogang sat down on the chair.
And he picked up the teacup with his right hand.
With the very same hand that had grabbed Youngsoo’s neck.
Linger… … .
When I picked up the teacup, tiny ripples formed in the tea water.
His right arm was shaking.
‘this…….’
Moo-gang recalled what had happened earlier.
The moment when he pulled Youngsu towards him with his sword and grabbed his neck.
A momentary rebound struck his arm.
The moment he was dragged into the water, Youngsoo unconsciously resisted.
Because of that, considerable damage was inflicted on Moo-gang’s right arm.
Moo-gang was secretly astonished.
‘Is there anyone in the martial arts world who can resist my attacks to this extent…?’
Even if we take a broad view, it would have been possible only if one was a senior member of the old school.
But, even at first glance, he looked like he was only in his mid to late 20s, and he showed that level of skill.
Throughout the history of martial arts, this type of talent was something that was only seen once every few decades.
‘You are a gift from heaven.’
In the past, I would have felt interest and admiration seeing such an excellent review index.
But those feelings no longer remained for Moo-gang.
The emotion that Mu-gang felt was one thing.
Helplessness.
It’s the feeling of helplessness towards one’s own body, which has grown so old that it can’t even completely subdue a green guy like that.
‘I joined the shaman sect at the age of 10, and lived as a swordsman in the martial arts world for 80 years.’
In this way, he obtained the titles of Mudang Jeilgeom and Geomjon, and rose to the position of the leader, the highest position in the sect.
But his body was too old to bear all that fame.
‘I have everything in my possession, so why can’t I have life?’
I didn’t want to grow old.
I didn’t want to die.
I wanted to get my youth back.
At some point, that became Moo-gang’s only concern.
dripping-
“Can I come in?”
Sa Hyun-ik’s voice is heard from outside.
“Come in.”
Hyunik entered the office and stood next to Mu-gang.
Hyunik asked.
“That guy who just left… why is he here?”
“Do you know anyone?”
“The only time I ran into him was when I was leaving Haomen headquarters.”
“If that was all, you wouldn’t have asked me in such a surprised tone.”
“That, that is… … .”
“What kind of guy do you think he is?”
Hyunik thought for a moment and then answered.
“… He’s the guy who countered my attack from a blind spot using only regular swordsmanship.”
“… … !”
“I am certain that he is not a monster, but at least the seed of a monster.”
“You saw it right. He’s dangerous.”
“danger…….”
“So I decided to accept him as a member of the Murim Alliance.”
“yes?!”
“If it’s a dangerous sword, we think it’s better to keep it in our hands.”
“But my lord… … .”
“I know what you’re worried about, but that won’t happen.”
“Can I ask why?”
“Cheon Yeong-su, in this war, I plan to use that guy as a discarded weapon.”
“… … !”
“Do you remember the two pillars that assist the Heavenly Horse?”
“Isn’t it the Ice White Demon Emperor and the Flame Heat Demon Emperor?”
“I plan to break one of those two pillars.”
“Are you talking about using Cheon Yeong-su?”
“okay.”
“But even if he is that guy, can he win against the Maje?”
“If I come back victorious, I can use it once more, and even if I don’t win and end up self-destructing, that’s fine. Even that alone will cause considerable damage to the Demonic Cult.”
“But even if you write like that, how do you plan on controlling him?”
“There are already many.”
As he said that, Mu-gang glanced at the small jar in the corner of the office.
A jar that gives off an ominous sway.
“So, are the preparations going well?”
“I came to report to you anyway. First… … .”
The moment I was about to recite the report.
Hyunik saw something unbelievable.
I’m talking about Moo-gang’s right arm, which is shaking slightly.
“My lord, that arm… … ?”
Moo-gang said with a bitter smile.
“Hyeonik-ah.
“Yes, my lord.”
“Why can’t old people obtain youth?”
“… … .”
“Youth is too precious for the young to have. Don’t you think so?”
“that…….”
Hyunik couldn’t say anything.
* * *
Yeongsu arrived in front of a building called Cheongho Hall, following Ban Seoho’s guidance.
“You may stay here from now on, sir.”
“thanks.”
“By the way, you are amazing. You were assigned a guest room at Cheongho Hall right away… … .”
“Why is that a big deal?”
“Huh? Didn’t you know? Cheongho Hall is a place where only those who have been personally acknowledged by the leader can stay. It’s a place that even someone with average skills can’t even dream of!”
“Hmm… … .”
Still, your eye for people is spot-on, you damn old man.
“Anyway, you can stay in room number 3 of the Cheongho Hall. If you need to call a servant, just ring the bell inside the room. Dinner will be brought to you around sunset.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
“Rest in peace!”
Seoho bowed and greeted her, then ran off to do something else.
Looking at his back, Yeongsu muttered.
“That guy Ban Seo-ho… It’s still amazing to see him again.”
Well, that’s not important right now.
Yeongsu went into room number 3, took off his outer clothes, and lay down on the bed.
It was indeed a nice room.
Spacious, tall, and comfortable.
In addition, each and every piece of furniture in the room was quite expensive.
‘I feel like I’m in a 7-star traditional Chinese hotel.’
Anyway.
‘I’ve succeeded in entering the Murim Alliance.’
but…….
‘That old man, Mugang, will never leave me alone.’
If you think about Moo-gang’s personality, perhaps…
‘I’m sure they’re thinking of using someone like me as a throwaway piece.’
Because he has always been a person with a unique perspective on the subject of tosa gupeng.
So where and how do you plan to use me and throw me away?
If we assume that the old man Moo-gang is seriously preparing for war with the Demonic Cult… … .
‘There’s a high probability that they’ll make me face either the Flame Demon or the Ice Demon.’
If possible, I would have preferred the Yeom Yeol Ma Je.
Because he was weaker than the Ice White Horse.
‘Still, I need to come up with a strategy for both of them. I don’t know which one I’ll be assigned to.’
Youngsoo began to think about various strategies in his head.
About two hours had passed like that.
“Can I come in?”
A small table of drinks was brought into Youngsoo’s room.
It was a table with a plate of thickly sliced raw meat and a bottle of alcohol.
“Dinner was a little late, so I prepared the aperitif first.”
“oh.”
“The raw beef is made from a cow that the Lord specially gave us, so I hope you try it.”
Yeongsu looked down at the plate of raw meat.
And then the moment.
‘Mugang is a real…’
Youngsoo’s expression hardened.
