4. The Heavenly Demon

If you think about it, it was a very strange life.

It started off as an extremely ordinary life, but at some point was swept away by the waves of the times.

I struggled to live, and I killed to not die.

So, at some point, he was called Cheonma and reigned over all people.

I wonder if I can finally live a quiet life now.

I was suddenly caught up in an unknown force and fell in an unfamiliar place.

At first I cursed the sky, but I soon accepted reality.

As I looked further, I saw things I couldn’t see and heard things I couldn’t hear.

I didn’t have to worry about anyone’s gaze or meet anyone’s expectations.

The moment I thought that it wouldn’t be bad to live quietly and die here.

– I want to become stronger. –

Some strange man knew how to find himself.

The body was definitely something that only appeared once in a hundred years.

However, the Heavenly Demon soon realized that the man’s mental state had deteriorated.

– Get lost. I just hate being bothered. –

If this had happened in the Demonic Cult, he would have killed him on the spot.

However, rather than because his nature was originally evil.

Because it was just the Heavenly Demon, and because it was the owner of the Demonic Cult, it was a big thing that I had no choice but to do that.

No one ever wondered about life before the Heavenly Demon.

Everyone was just afraid of themselves now, and couldn’t come any further than that.

– Please accept me! –

– Oh, I want you to become a disciple once! –

But the man came the next day and the day after that and hung on to me.

Because no one dared to be so stubborn in front of him.

The Heavenly Demon accepted him for the time being with a dazzling smile.

Of course, I didn’t officially accept him as a disciple right on the spot.

– I’ve never seen a bastard like you. The will is rotten, but the body is fine. –

– Ha, you bastard. It makes me want to change my mind. –

– Remember it carefully. The world called me the Heavenly Demon. –

I rolled it harshly, and when I passed it, I dealt with it even more harshly.

The man whimpered, but continued to follow it.

It was strangely not bad for him to call himself Master.

It was different from when everyone bowed their heads and was afraid to even make eye contact with him.

– Master, how about this? –

– … What is this? –

– Today is the 5th anniversary of Master accepting me as a disciple. So even though this disciple is weak, he prepared a gift. –

Not even the head of the enemy who threatened the Demonic Cult, all kinds of weapons, or elixirs.

What he held out was a small pair of silver earrings.

Seeing how he treats himself not as a heavenly demon, but as a teacher.

The Heavenly Demon felt a warm feeling in his heart for the first time in a long time.

It felt like he finally found who he was.

After that, her pupils began to accept her new pupils.

And he came to visit from time to time and became her friend.

I take care of things I might need, and I check to see if I’m bored.

It’s not that he treats himself harshly as the Demonic Cult’s Heavenly Demon.

I was very grateful to be treated as a teacher and as a woman.

It was an experience I had never experienced in my life, and it was a feeling I had never felt before.

– Please. I beg you to take a look at my apprentice’s abilities. –

A disciple like that suddenly came to me and even asked me something I didn’t normally do.

If there’s one thing he’s superior to himself in, it’s understanding the other person.

Looking at the disciples he had accepted, he had agreed that they had high potential.

However, such a disciple suddenly came to me and made such a request.

– I made a promise. The day I met that child, I promised to give him the strength not to lose to anyone. –

Why does that word bother me?

What is this sense that I have not felt while watching other children?

This chilling, eerie feeling, as if something were trying to separate you from your pupil.

Ignoring that, the Heavenly Demon spoke.

I want something as a condition for taking care of your student.

Then he said he would give me a new pair of earrings to replace them.

– No. –

Absolutely dislike, absolutely dislike. Can’t give this away

It was the first gift I received, from the four guys who looked at me the way I was.

There is nothing in the world that can replace this.

In the end, on the condition that you receive earrings and even a ring.

The Heavenly Demon is in front of an unknown woman.

She stood in front of her disciple’s disciple called Iris.

‘It’s not weak, but it’s not strong either. But what on earth is that strange, faintly felt energy?’

She was barely able to pick out something faint even to herself.

Even if you are a disciple who passed on everything to me, you may not have felt it.

There was a part of me that accepted his request because I wanted to find out about it.

“… Haaa!!”

The Heavenly Demon saw Iris rushing at her and kicked her tongue.

The disciple’s discernment is outstanding, not anyone else’s proof.

However, the woman named Iris was extremely disappointing.

‘He must not have taught me so carelessly. If not, the only thing left for her is that she has no talent.’

She got rid of Iris, who was running towards her, as if driving away flies.

The Heavenly Demon tut, she said as she bit her tongue.

“I can roughly understand your level. If not, let’s move on to the next one.”

Humans are truly simple animals.

You have to push yourself to the limit to reveal your true self.

So, just like he did to his one and only disciple before.

I tried to take out that limit by unleashing a merciless attack.

Teouk!-

‘What?’

Until Iris blocked her own attack.

‘… What is this? Is this possible?’

She just couldn’t block her own attack, considering Iris’s level.

However, she had to endure the 1st move very neatly.

She wanted to expand her senses, but I didn’t feel that she was hiding any power.

‘… It’s different from that.’

This is not her power or skill to block her own attacks.

What kind of power and speed, from which direction will the attack come from in today’s sparring?

She was at a level that could only be thought of as having predicted in advance and then blocked it.

Shuuu-.

“… Four years. What is it?”

You can fool the pupil’s eyes, but you can’t fool me.

I don’t know for what purpose you’re trying to approach my student and do nonsense.

As long as I, the head of the throne called the Heavenly Demon, have no idea.

“Master!?!”

“What did you ask!”

Kwaang!-

Iris vomited blood as if the inside was shaken as she raised her spirits to the fullest.

At least at this level that the body couldn’t stand it.

From noble mtl dot com

Did she just block her own attack so naturally?

It was a situation that didn’t even make sense, there must be something.

Ugh ugh-.

The moment when red and black energy just gushed out of the Heavenly Demon’s hand.

“Master!!”

The disciple stands between himself and Iris.

He also showed off the Heavenly Demon Art that he taught, and was ready to fight at any time.

“Get out of the way.”

“Master. Why are you like this You got excited all of a sudden.”

“I said Vicky. That year is not good Strange! He must be the one who will harm you!”

“This is my disciple! I accepted it, and I promised to take responsibility for it!”

“What do you know! My disciple is more important to me. That year is not unusual. I mean it’s unlucky! You guys can’t feel it, but I can feel the energy of the scavenger hunt that eats the surroundings!”

“Master. Calm down and have a little talk with this disciple. This is not it.”

Your student is looking at you tensely.

In an instant, the Heavenly Demon noticed one thing in those pupils.

That the disciple’s eyes are quite similar to the ones he used to look at in the Demonic Cult in the past.

‘….’

Only then, when he looked at himself, he was in the middle of bringing out the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art to the limit.

If they collided like this, Iris and the disciple would most likely die.

It is only natural that such a reaction would come out because of that.

But even so, the Heavenly Demon felt strangely sad.

Why are you looking at me like that, when you’ve never looked at me like that before?

I’m sorry. Are you more of a disciple than your master?

“… Son of a gun.”

Siss….

The energy that seemed to sweep the whole area away at any moment disappears in an instant.

When the hideous red eyes disappeared from the Heavenly Demon’s eyes, the man let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that, the Heavenly Demon felt her stomach twist even more.

What should I say, he was a disciple who thought he was on his side forever.

After that student became someone’s teacher, I felt as if he had been taken away.

“Iris, calm down and get your breathing right. You will be fine soon.”

“Cough, Cough!”

A disciple who cleans up the insides that have been messed up by the accusation and blood he taught.

It’s even more absurd to see that.

As soon as I received my energy, my insides were shaken and even blood spilled.

How on earth did he block his attacks?

“Master.”

It looks like Iris’s first aid has been completed.

As the disciple approached, the Heavenly Demon turned around and headed for the original pavilion.

As soon as I entered the place, a fire broke out and I threw off my top as if I was going to die from the heat.

Charm!-

The man who snatched Heavenly Demon’s coat like a cat and politely put it aside.

Then he approached my teacher and opened his mouth.

“Master. I would like you to tell me why you are doing that.”

“Didn’t you tell me? He’s a weird guy Didn’t you feel It’s the faint energy of the shooting demon that came from him. I don’t even know how many people they ate.”

The man expressed disapproval at the words of the Heavenly Demon.

He hadn’t felt that kind of aura while living with Iris.

In addition, the most convincing proof of all, the last title of ‘Hero’.

The girls with the title of warrior are all protagonists representing ‘good’.

Because he did not betray or fall, he believed in him and accepted him as a disciple.

“Master. Don’t you know me well In my view, Iris is not such a child.”

“Didn’t you come to see me because you couldn’t even read about that child?”

“That is true, but the child’s nature can be read.”

“….”

“I’m definitely not the kind of child that Master would worry about. I can assure you.”

“In the world where Bonjwa existed, they said that we should be most wary of the old, the young, and women.”

If you look closely, the Heavenly Demon herself is also a woman.

In other words, if you look at what she said to her student, it could be that she meant to be wary even of herself.

Nevertheless, she was even committing such an error in order to persuade her pupil.

“Please believe in this disciple. I will prove that I am not that kind of kid.”

But as she looked into the eyes of her unwavering disciple, in the end she couldn’t help it.

As he said, the disciple’s eyes were accurate in judging people.

And even though the Heavenly Demon himself said that, there were parts that were long and short.

He actually said that he was going to kill him, but he really did harm people voluntarily.

If it wasn’t him, I don’t even know if he did it unintentionally like himself.

‘… I don’t know anything else, but it’s certain that he’s unlucky.’

No matter what, she was given to her by Master, so she herself will go to the village at the bottom of the mountain.

I’ll go and buy something worthy of Master’s majesty, so please wait a little bit.

After saying that, he bowed and looked at the disciple walking away from him.

“… Probably not.”

I have to put an end to her secluded life, and now I have to get up.

You cannot lose your one and only disciple, one and only friend.

The Heavenly Demon, Nayeon-hwa, made that decision.
