Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 50 – Invasion of the Demonic Cult (03)

“Ugh, sister!”

“Don’t look back and run away!”

Currently, Socheonma and Somahu were covered in blood and being chased by someone.

At first, they were twin siblings who were burning with competition and did not even exchange opinions with each other, and were excited to see who would take down the Kunlun faction first using the Demon Clan or Ma Hu Dae, but they left the Xinjiang region, the stronghold of the Demon Cult, and settled down near Kunlun Mountain. The moment the confrontation occurred, the situation changed.

Maindae and Mahoudae all betrayed their masters, Socheonma and Somahu.

‘I can’t believe the elites that my father personally selected betrayed me!’

‘Mother chose and gathered only trustworthy people, but why is this happening…!’

Cheonma and Cheonmahu personally carefully selected and handed over to their successors only the people they considered trustworthy. There were no problems until the selection process, but the problem was in the unique structure of the Demonic Cult that occurred during demonic training.

In the original Demonic Cult, 30% of the warriors who learned magic skills run out of energy and become a handful of blood beasts, while 30% go crazy with magic skills and become madmen. And the remaining 40% become demon cultists who devote themselves to martial arts training even though their minds are damaged to some extent.

Hearing it this way, it would seem that demonic cultists are a small elite group, but due to the nature of demonic arts that build up skill quickly, unlike the traditional martial arts of the righteous faction that rely on an individual’s intelligence and talent, unless the talent is at a rare level, it crawls on the ground. Since they could at least fulfill their role as martial artists, the number of martial artists was greater than that of the political faction, which selected and trained only children with outstanding talent.

In addition, there was no one-person transmission or passing it down in a strict manner according to tradition, and it was a structure in which they freely shared magic skills among themselves and competed freely with each other. In particular, Ma In-dae and Ma Hu-dae were considered elite and trained from an early age and shared magic skills with each other. There was a strong tendency to do so.

The Black Moon Blood Moon Mara Heart Attack of the Black Moon Party exploited this loophole.

‘Everyone just taught Macheon Gugyeol because it has fewer side effects and is more powerful in improving martial arts than other magic techniques!’

Macheon Gugyeol, to be exact, the partial Mara Heart Gong, which is an abbreviation of Gugyeol, improves the side effects of the original Magic Gong, and actually makes it easier to maintain one’s sanity without losing one’s sense through the Magic Gong, so those who had previously learned Magic Gong began to learn it. I shared it freely.

Of course, Socheonma and Somahu were born with outstanding talent from their parents, and the only side effect of magic was a change in eye color, so they did not learn it separately, but I hoped that magic would stabilize by competitively using Gugyeol on Majindae and Mafudae. I had been waiting.

Originally, unless you are a perfect Black Moon, Blood, Moon Mara Heart Gong, you cannot take away your intelligence and manipulate it at will, but in the first place, the Demonic Cult and the Blood Cult are one root.

The magic technique they were learning was able to fill in the remaining part of the Mara heart technique, and thanks to this, all of the Majin University and the Mahou unit learned the Mara Heart technique slowly over a long period of time, just like clothes getting wet in a light rain.

‘If something like this had happened at the Demon Cult’s headquarters, we would have been able to prevent it by joining forces with other Demon Cults! I hurried to go out to avenge my father, and this happened…!’

Soma Hu bit her lip and regretted it, but it was already too late.

And since there were more people contaminated by the Mara Heart Attack than she thought, if the Mara Heart Attack broke out at the Demonic Cult’s headquarters, the Demonic Cult would lose the majority of its followers.

To that extent, the Demonic Cult was currently being deeply controlled by the Black Moon Party.

“Chase! You must catch it!”

It would be easy to deceive if they turned into married people with no reason, but the magicians who were accustomed to the magic gnawing away at their reason maintained most of their reason even if they learned the magic magic, only the object of their loyalty changed.

Each person is at least equivalent to a top-notch expert!

Main University and Mahou University, a total of 100 top-class experts, 50 on each side, are chasing after you!

No matter how much Socheonma and Somahu rose to the top even at the peak, they are subordinates who memorize Gugyeol and Chosik from one to ten to support their martial arts, and above all, Majindae is training to counter Somahu’s martial arts. Afterwards, the situation was the opposite, and the thorough preparations made to select a successor have now only returned to nothing.

“Ugh…!”

The skills of Soma Hu and So Cheonma were almost the same, or at the same level, but Soma Hu arrived at the Kunlun Sect’s defense line a little earlier, and at the moment when she was excited and was about to attack first, the Majin Army and Ma Hu Unit attacked her at the same time. Because I did it, I was hurt from the start.

Thanks to Socheonma’s late arrival, he was pushed to the bottom of the list and suffered less injuries, but there was nothing he could do against the Majindae’s subordinates, who knew their martial arts inside out, and the Mahoudae who trained to catch him in the first place. He was supporting his sister and running away with all his might.

The goal is to overcome the territory of the abominable political faction, the defense line of the Kunlun faction.

“Don’t come closer!”

The pursuing Ma In Dae and the warriors of the Jeong faction who discovered the Ma Hu Dae were summoned and formed a check-up, but Socheon Ma was just like this, lifting his sister and jumping into her while carrying her on his back.

The swords of such second-rate experts cannot pierce their own self-defense skills, so they try to entrust themselves to the Murim Alliance by receiving a few blows and receiving protection from medical examination.

“Tan!”

When his name, which he had never heard of except in his childhood, was called, Socheonma instinctively deployed his self-defense skills and threw his sister into the examination first.

Chop rock-!

However, at the same time, a black whip was wrapped around the waist of Somahu, who was thrown into the air, and his back was bent and he was being dragged.

“You bastards!!”

It is a whip made of ink silk thread used by Majindae, his subordinate. When it contains internal force, it shoots forward with strong elasticity and has the property of returning to its original state when the internal force is exhausted.

As he had originally thought, it was a treasure he had saved to snatch away his sister, Somafu, but when it was used in this situation, he felt like he had done something wrong, and his heart was sinking.

Chaaa!!

As Somahu, who was so exhausted that she could not even raise her self-defense skills, saw her skin scratched on the floor, bursting with blood and covered in wounds, Socheonma pondered whether to throw herself into the Kunlun faction’s defense line for the last time or save her sister.

It felt like someone was whispering to him that he could sacrifice Somafu and become the sole successor and lead the Demon Cult.

But…

“Give me my sister, you bastards!”

My sister also took time for herself and shouted at me to run away, but she abandoned me?

It was an excellent action for the next successor to the demonic religion, but it was something that should not have been done as a human being or as a relative, so Socheonma rolled his eyes and took out his javelin.

Whirl!

But that was only for a moment, and this time, the white silver silk thread thrown by Ma Hudae wrapped around Socheon Ma’s right leg, restricting his movements.

Somahu also prepared treasure to catch Socheonma.

“Damn sister!!”

“You’re the same too!”

When Somafu, who was covered in wounds, got up and started fighting the demons that were charging at him using the Hwafu Demon Art, Somafu also spun his spear around and spun it, using the Ultimate Blade Demon Spear. (槍) was unfolded.

“We are the ones!”

“This is the body that will become the Heavenly Demon!!”

* * *

Beep-!

A sharp whistle sounds.

It was a high-pitched sound that was inaudible to the human ear, but it was barely audible to the martial arts people who were familiar with internal energy, and if they had trained in advance, it was an object suitable for use as a signal.

And along with the sight of people flocking to form a defensive line in front of the forest I was traversing, I also saw a number of people gathering weapons and trying to reach this place from the lodging I had escaped from.

‘Is the Kunlun faction’s defense line better organized than I thought?’

First of all, the first line of defense was to block the movement of the Demonic Bridge, while the rest rested in the rear to preserve combat power, and in case of an emergency, a reporting system was well established so that support could come immediately from the rear.

Thanks to this, when I arrived at the front line, the checkup had already been completed and experts had been deployed in the middle to form a defensive wall.

Kyaang! Kang!

However, the sound of weapons clashing was not heard in the defense line.

Rather, it was echoing loudly inside the forest, outside the influence of the Kunlun faction.

“What’s going on?”

“Huh? You… Why did you appear here? What is your identity?”

When the soldiers looked at me with suspicion when they saw me suddenly appear from the back, I reached into my arms and showed them the name plate that Namgungjeon had given me instead.

“Are you reinforcements from the Namgung family? Please excuse me.”

I’m not from Namgung Se, but it’s to my advantage to misunderstand him that way, so let’s leave it alone.

“What is the situation?”

“Originally, when they heard that close to a hundred demons were on their way, they formed a checkpoint and tried to kill time, but they seem to be making a lot of noise in front of them, causing internal strife among themselves.”

“The Demonic Cult only cares about their own gain and does not know what is right or wrong, so it would not be surprising if internal strife broke out.”

The warriors belonging to the Murim League who were dispatched this time were giggling as they said that, but the disciple of the Kunlun faction who was in the middle shook his head.

“Under normal circumstances, they may seem like a ragtag group of people who kill and kill each other, but basically, they are self-reliant and sacrifice their lives like stubble when under the control of an overwhelmingly powerful person. Even more so, if they leave their home base and go on a campaign, they maintain control over their subordinates. Proof that it exists.”

The warriors dispatched by the Murim Alliance were skeptical despite the words of a Kunlun disciple who clearly knew about the Demon Cult, but since I also knew a certain amount about the Demon Cult, I was able to guarantee that there would be no civil war ahead of the Kunlun Sect’s defense line.

‘No matter how much of a civil war you are engaged in, you must unite when an external enemy invades. There is no way the demonic religions will start a civil war ahead of the Murim Alliance.’

Nevertheless, if they are fighting among themselves, there is only one reason.

“Grrr…”

The guys contaminated by the Mara Heart Attack that Seol-ah reacts to must have really attacked the Demonic Cultists.

“Check and come back.”

“It’s dangerous, Nangong Xiaohyeop! At least after the Kunlun Sect’s disciples join in earnest…”

They must have mistakenly thought that I was from the Namgung family when I showed them the name plate of Namgungjeon.

‘The sound of weapons has decreased’

But Seol-ah’s hair was standing up and she was so excited that it stung my skin. The battle was coming to an end, but Marasimgong’s influence did not diminish?

The Black Moon Party won.

Pot-!

It broke through the defense line and flew like lightning to a place where the sound of weapons had died down.

Wow!

Once we secured the area by cutting down several trees blocking the view, a nauseatingly thick energy of Marasimgong was flowing out in front of us.

“Purr purr…!”

“Ugh… Gasp…!”

And we were able to find a twin brother and sister who were being forcibly injected with Mara Heart Ball while being captured by a hundred demons.

The demons were sitting in a row, each putting their hands on their backs, sharing their energy. The demons were trying to forcibly inject Mara heart energy by pressing down the bodies of the twin siblings who were surrounded by their palms.

“Purrr and even more!

As I saw Seol-ah crying and baring her teeth, I pulled out my sword and threw it at an angle on purpose.

Paang!

The sword was thrown in the air, but half of its body was stuck in the ground in one fell swoop and it was lying down at an angle where I threw it.

“It’s an enemy attack!”

A few demons and demons who were not using Mara Heart Attack spotted me and shouted, but I was already coming down from the air and concentrating my attack power on my knees.

“Jade Rang Heavenly Sword, Eleventh Formula.”

And then, in the same landing position, he slammed his knee down on the sword body that was stuck on the ground.

“Dawn.”
