102. Trace (4)
The eyebrows of the man behind Hyunseong twitched at his words.
“Are you saying this as if you know what kind of martial arts it is?”
“then?”
“… … ”
A man looking quietly this way.
It seemed like he was reconsidering whether his words were true or not.
Blood Demon God.
It was a martial art that the Blood Cult was proud of.
Who would have thought that we would find traces of the Blood Cult here?
‘somehow.’
I felt a strange sense of foreboding when I saw the zombies here.
It was exactly the same as the blood poem created by the Blood Cult.
‘I dug around like that trying to pull out the roots.’
In response to the outrageous acts they committed, Hyeonseong mobilized all of the manpower of the Cheonmasingyo to eradicate the Blood Cult.
However, they survived tenaciously like cockroaches and have continued on to this day.
In the sect, people think that both the Demonic Cult and the Blood Cult are equally bad people, but when you look inside, the Demonic Cult and the Blood Cult are completely different.
‘The devil simply worships power.’
If you were to define Cheonmasingyo in one word, Hyunseong could say it without hesitation.
Survival of the fittest.
The Cheonmasingyo was a place that said that the strong should be treated accordingly.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a super large sect, closer to a cult than the generally known demonic sect.
However, the blood sect was different.
If I had to define them in one word…
‘ruin.’
The Blood Cult wants only one thing.
It was the destruction of the world.
They were doing their utmost to destroy the world.
-It’s a scary place just to hear about.
Seol-ah muttered in a tired voice.
I have seen countless people who would stop at nothing to conquer the world.
But you only want the destruction of the world.
‘I once caught one of the Blood Cult guys and got information on why he was doing such things.’
At first, I thought they were doing that to expand their cult’s power.
Then, they couldn’t help but question the things they were doing that weren’t beneficial to them.
Because they kept committing suicide as soon as they were caught, we were able to obtain information by using drugs, but the content was quite shocking.
-What did you say?
‘The reason the world is full of suffering is because we are alive. So if all beings die, the suffering world will end or something like that.’
-What is that?
Seol-Ah has seen many cases of fanaticism.
It was common for terrible evil acts to continue in the name of God.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it was a good thing, but it was also intended to make the world a cleaner place.
Or maybe it was the worldly people who packaged it for their own benefit.
however,
-Nothing like that. You’re just going to destroy the world?
‘okay.’
-Even if you’re crazy, you’re not usually crazy?
I don’t know what it’s for though.
-But, the martial arts that that zombie uses are called Blood Demon Divine Art? Then is that guy a Blood Demon?
‘No, the blood sect is a bit different.’
In the Cheonmasingyo, only two people could learn the Cheonmasingong: the leader and the vice-leader.
However, everyone in the Blood Cult learned the Blood Demon God Art.
-All believers learn the same martial arts? Is that okay?
‘There’s no such thing as impossible.’
These guys want to destroy the world, so what can’t they do?
The Blood Demon that he fought said that he had learned the Blood Demon Divine Art and that anyone who hated the world was qualified to become a Blood Demon.
“That’s ridiculous. There’s no way a skeleton would know our martial arts.”
“Really? When you raise your internal energy, your skin turns red. Isn’t that a characteristic of the Blood Demon God Art?”
Not only did the skin turn red, but the physical abilities themselves also increased.
And when the Blood Demon God’s power reaches its peak, it is said that the skin turns red, even blood-red.
In the Blood Sect, it seemed that they called it a being that transcended humans, a blood demon.
‘I said that even the blood demons I fought against couldn’t reach that level.’
Looking at it that way, the level of the zombies in front of me didn’t seem that high.
Because my skin was only slightly red.
The man’s eyes turned sharp at Hyunseong’s words.
“… You really know. How do you know? What is your identity, Skeleton?”
“If you tell me what you guys were doing here, I’ll be willing to tell you too.”
My true identity isn’t really a secret.
Even if I told the truth, it was obvious that people would think I was lying anyway, so this was a deal where I had nothing to lose.
But, the other side seems to have no intention of saying anything, so they just remain silent.
‘Oh my, these guys never change.’
It seemed that it was still difficult to extract information.
The man seemed to be thinking deeply about something, then suddenly turned around.
“Take care of them all.”
“Ugh.”
A zombie responding to a man’s commands.
However, the guy in front of me wasn’t everything.
As the closed doors around them open, zombies start appearing one by one.
The man looked at the zombies crawling out one by one, then headed somewhere.
-Are you running away?
‘You’re probably trying to erase the information.’
So as not to give away any information you want.
-Without even checking how strong we are?
If they fall easily like that, won’t they also suffer a loss?
Hyunseong clicked his tongue as if he found Seol-ah’s thoughts laughable.
‘I told you not to judge these guys by common sense?’
It was difficult to expect common sense from these guys.
Because that madness was the core of the blood cult.
Considering that during the time when he was a Cheonma, he had a hard time tracking down the blood cult by mobilizing all of the Cheonma Sect, this was a bit of a joke.
-Then what should I do?
‘What should I do? I have to chase after them.’
So that he doesn’t erase the information.
If I miss it now, I don’t know when I’ll be able to step on their tails again.
-What about zombies?
Seol-ah asks, looking at the zombies that look like they might rush at you at any moment.
Hyunseong looked back at her question.
‘That’s what they’re there for, isn’t it?’
-In this case?
‘When you’re killing time.’
-Wow, you speak so mercilessly. You say that your party is just a way to buy time.
‘It’s sad, but it’s true.’
If it was Seoian, then the number of people in the party, including his disciples, was just enough to hold out until he arrived.
If that’s unfair, you have no choice but to become stronger.
Even if it was merciless, reality had to be viewed coolly.
-Isn’t that too harsh? It’s only been a few months since Brin and Rash became your disciples.
‘In this situation, it doesn’t matter when you become a disciple.’
Although growing rapidly, it still has a long way to go to catch up.
That may not be the case if Hyunseong had achieved all his goals and was in a relaxed situation.
Besides, strictly speaking, he did not accept her as his disciple, but rather accepted her as his disciple after she asked him to accept her as her disciple, so shouldn’t he have done this much?
“I’ll go after him, so you take care of this side.”
“… Let’s just give it a try.”
“It would be pretty dangerous, wouldn’t it?”
“What more can I do than die?”
Brin nodded, even though he knew it was difficult.
At that will, Hyunseong turned around without saying anything more.
“Goooooooooooo!!”
A guy who tries to block you from passing by screaming.
Hyunseong, who seemed to be scattering like ghosts, soon found himself behind the zombies.
and,
Push shoo!!
Blood spurted out from various parts of the zombie’s reddened body.
At this level, it would be possible to endure it.
-What if you win instead of just wasting time?
“Well, I guess I can give it a little credit for that.”
Hyunseong muttered like that and headed towards the passage behind the zombie.
* * *
Lee Su-ho, who was watching Hyun-seong leave, smiled bitterly.
The tricky thing about undead monsters is that they won’t die unless you definitely smash their heads.
It wouldn’t have been that difficult if the opponent didn’t use magic, but the biggest problem was that the zombies here used not only magic but also skills.
“You’re really bad at dealing with people.”
The fact that he is so calm in a situation where it is uncertain how many people will die here means that he has experienced this situation many times.
What kind of chaos have you been through in your life?
Brin opened his mouth to mutter to himself.
“If you’re scared, you can run away, Keruk.”
“… I don’t think you’re saying this because you’re worried?”
“If you were a coward, then you weren’t my opponent.”
“Ooh.”
I never thought you would provoke me like this.
However, having come this far, he had no intention of backing down.
“Want to bet on who can catch more?”
“Keruk.”
“I’ll join too. Chwiik!”
The three of them raised their weapons and took stances.
And Han Ji-soo, who was looking at it, let out a sigh of admiration.
“I think I’ve seen this scene in a comic book or something.”
“Me too. So, who do you think will win?”
“Of course, Mr. Rashi has great muscles.”
“Even your brain is a muscle… Don’t be so talkative about muscles, muscles. Think about it calmly.”
“No, think about it. Even though they use magic, they’re still zombies, right?”
“yes.”
“Then, in any case, you can say that you’ve defeated him by smashing his head, but isn’t Mr. Rashi the one who has the best chance of smashing his head? That’s why I thought he had the highest chance of winning.”
“… … ”
That wasn’t entirely wrong.
Swordsmanship and spearmanship are mostly stabbing-based attacks.
In contrast, Rashi’s magic was simple yet brutal, and was the most suitable for breaking the pots of the undead.
Han Ji-hyun is impressed by her younger brother’s insight, as he seems to know nothing about close combat, yet manages to grasp the essence.
but,
“That means muscles are the best.”
“… … ”
Listening to what he said next, I somehow felt like he was just a simple muscle worshipper.
* * *
“So, you want me to destroy all the data?”
“okay.”
The man, who appeared to be a researcher, could not hide his bewildered expression at the order.
The research is progressing steadily, so why are you suddenly telling us to destroy the data?
“There is an intruder.”
“I know that, but…”
He knew there was an intruder.
But, wouldn’t it be possible to eliminate all intruders with the results of their research?
I felt that there was no reason to destroy the data.
“I heard it was a unique party with a mix of monsters and Awakened ones, but it was really necessary to go this far…”
If it were normal, he wouldn’t have made such an extreme decision.
However,
‘I don’t feel good.’
A skeleton of unknown identity who knows the Blood Demon God Art.
It didn’t seem like much, but my intuition was sounding the alarm.
Sometimes, I knew that intuition was more accurate than common sense, so I prepared thoroughly.
“Please report the results to us as well…”
“I’ll send that separately.”
“Oh, I understand.”
So, at that time, the data was destroyed as ordered.
“Oh, what? I’m late.”
A voice that comes with a hard, clanking sound.
The eyes of the people inside were immediately drawn towards the door.
‘When on earth?!’
I didn’t even feel your presence, but you came this close.
If Hyunseong had wanted to, he could have cut off his own neck.
The man felt confident that his prediction was correct.
Hyunseong scratches his skull as if he is in trouble.
“There’s nothing we can do about it now that it’s come to this.”
-What are you going to do?
“What are you doing?”
You have no choice but to ask the guy who knows the information directly.
A crimson glow flashed from inside the skull.
