Chapter 143 – Chapter 9 – Seriousness

Demonic Cult.

Another name is Cheonma Shinkyo, which is a kind of religious force that worships their god called Cheonma.

To be precise, the official name is the Heavenly Demon Goddess, and the title Demonicism is a title that despises and despises them in the middle courts, so saying that it is a Demonicism in front of them is not a good choice unless you are confident in your own strength.

Anyway, that wasn’t the point.

The other day, following the Murim Maeng, another group called me.

That place is, of course, the notorious Demonic Cult.

“..First, let’s think about how the situation came to be like this.”

We sat around the table with serious faces and started talking.

Dang Ah-young and Yeo So-cheon, who had been fighting a bloody battle with each other until now, did not show any movement, as if they were aware of the seriousness of the situation.

“What exactly was the content of the letter? Still, there won’t be a justification for calling.”

“It’s just.. It seems like rumors about me are spreading in the midfield these days, so they say it would be nice if I could visit the main school once.”

“..It’s a simple matter.”

I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately with women’s issues, so I was quite a famous fortune teller.

No, it wasn’t usually famous.

Because of what happened in the Moorim League, in fact, I would be the most famous fortune teller in Jungwon.

If you think about that, it’s not unusual for the Demonic Cult to call me…

“In the end, it’s all because of you, isn’t it?!”

“Ahahaha… Ugh, why don’t we forget the past? And, is it better for life to accept the past and prepare for the future than to dwell on the past?”

“That’s true, but don’t you think it’s coming out of the mouth of the wrong person?!”

“…Sorry.”

– Flounder

Yeo Xiaoqian obediently lowered her head, as if she had nothing to say.

She wanted to order Togeza as well, but she was right when she said that it wasn’t what was important right now.

“…Ha ha. Yes. Let’s think about what happened next.”

While putting her head through it, I decided to think about the future first.

“So… Should I go?”

In fact, it was the conclusion and the most important issue.

Go or not

It is a perfect Lee Ji-sun with no middle ground.

“Are you crazy? Of course you can’t go.”

Dang Aying was the first to open her mouth.

“No matter how lately things haven’t happened, but it’s the Demonic Cult. The Demonic Cult that has been trying to take control of the midfield for hundreds of years. Would they call you there with innocent intentions? They must have some ulterior motive.”

“Hmm..”

It was somewhat similar to my actual thoughts.

No matter how little things have happened in recent decades, the opponent is that Demonic Cult.

He could have called it with a genuine desire for me to look at fortune-telling once or twice, but could the Demonic Cult be that naive?

If you imprison me with stupid words and ask me to read fortunes, you can see it dozens or hundreds of times.

If you look at it calmly, the chances of me returning safely were too low.

“What do you think, Blue Lightning Sword? It must be dangerous, right?”

“…As you said, the head of the Demonic Cult… So, it is true that the Demonic Cult has not particularly shown its ambitions in the midfield since the Heavenly Demon became the new head of the Demonic Cult. It’s true.”

“Then..”

“But… So it’s rather a problem.”

“Yes?”

Lu Xiaochun said with a rare, genuinely troubled look on his face.

“The Demonic Cult might move to the midfield with this incident as an opportunity.”

“…”

Dang Aying and I listened to Lu Xiaochun’s words and held our breath.

What Yeo Socheon said was clear.

Jeongma War.

He said that it could be something to stimulate the Demonic Cult, who, for whatever reason, was not interested in conquering the midfield.

“Of course, I’m only talking about the worst case scenario. It’s unlikely that the entire Demonic Cult will suddenly rise up and attack the midfield just because it was rejected once.”

“Yeah, that’s right. How can I even say that?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’d rather have kidnapped them, but conquering the midfield isn’t that easy. No matter how strong the Demonic Cult is, the political faction isn’t weak either, right? Just for that reason, a war that will see a lot of blood between each other can’t start…”

“Easy.”

“…Yes?”

Dang Ah-young and I couldn’t understand for a moment what Lu Xiao-cheon said was easy because of the plain voice.

And when she understood what she meant

“The Heavenly Demon. If the monster lying down in the Demonic Cult comes forward, it’s only a matter of time before the Demonic Cult conquers the middle plains.”

We couldn’t even think of closing our mouths.

“Ah, no, is it that much? Is it that strong? The Heavenly Demon?”

“I think you know, too. What happened in the war against blood ties 20 years ago? I’m sure you won’t think it’s just a finishing touch.”

“Um, of course I heard what happened that day, but…”

At the time when the war against the Blood Religion was nearing its end, the story of the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Demon and the blood demon and countless Blood Religionists was a famous story.

And the political faction had a hard time accepting that the Heavenly Demon had dealt with the blood bridge they had defeated by themselves.

However, it was difficult for me and Dang Ah-young, who were not present, to understand how strong the Heavenly Demon was based on that anecdote.

I just knew she was incredibly strong, but…

“..Really that much?”

“Yes. The political faction. No, even if they are allied with Sapa, the probability of winning the midfield converges to 0. Including the variable called the hermit masters hiding in various places in the midfield that appeared whenever a crisis hit the midfield over the past year.”

“…Her.”

Now I was amazed and dumbfounded.

The fact that the self-respecting Yeo So-cheon could admit it so plainly

It was said that the human being called the Heavenly Demon was truly an out-of-standard monster.

No, even Yeo Socheon himself called the Heavenly Demon a monster, so what more do I need to say?

“Well, let’s stop talking about this. I have a lot of other things to worry about right now, but I don’t want to put that monster in my head. I don’t think I’m going to lift that heavy ass anyway.”

“Yes, yes. Oh, but then the letter doesn’t say who sang it? Don’t they usually also say who sang it?”

“..Wasn’t it?”

“Didn’t you have any specials or anything like that?”

“Yes. I was just told to come.”

“..It’s a pain in the ass.”

After that, we remained silent and thoughtful for a long time.

An awkward atmosphere as if something had to be said.

“Eh, ah. Could it be that the Heavenly Demon even called me? At most, it would be something like the Daeju of the Demonic Sect. What would a person like me call me?”

“That’s right, right? It sounds like someone who doesn’t have much interest in the outside world…? Maybe you don’t even know you exist? Right, Blue Sword-sama?”

“..It could be, but..”

It was a situation where I couldn’t do this or that.

If you go there for nothing and end up being imprisoned, you’ll end up having to keep looking at fortunes there until someone rescues you.

But if I don’t go, I’m worried about how I’ll come out of the Demonic School.

It was a situation where a really big thing could happen if I went wrong, so I had to be careful and deal with it carefully.

And while I was thinking for a while, I heard Yeo Socheon’s voice.

“…Well. It just happened that way, so I have to tell you. You haven’t told me why I’m here today, have you?”

“..Ah. It was.”

Come to think of it, I still don’t know why Yeo Socheon came.

While Dang Ah-yeong was setting me up in the morning, no one heard Yeo So-cheon knocking on her door. Because it was

“To make decisions like this, the more opinions, the better. The Demonic Cult has someone who cares much more than I do, so let’s bring that person in as well. We need your help as well.”

“..Who is that?”

“After the sword.”

“…Ah!”

Come to think of it, 20 years ago, it wasn’t just Lu Xiaochun who was on the battlefield.

Swordsman was also one of the people who saw the overwhelming majesty of the Heavenly Demon on the spot.

Due to her personality, it was highly likely that she cared about the Demonic Cult and the Heavenly Demon much more than Yeo Socheon.

“..Was he such an easy caller that he could call it right that way?”

“Ah. The other day, I have something to use if you ever come to visit. If you go to the volcano and show it to me, they will probably guide you.”

“When did you get that again?”

Dang Ah-young blurted out her words, then opened her mouth again with a suspicious voice.

“But isn’t it enough that you need help meeting the Sword Master?”

“Uh?”

Come to think of it, it was.

Rather, I think Yeo So-cheon’s friendship with the swordsman is deeper than mine. Do you need my help to meet the swordsman?

“..Ah. That’s it.”

Yeo So-cheon replied with a troubled expression.

“…Now she thinks she’s in pretty bad shape.”

It was unexpected and shocking news.
