Chapter 575. Keeper, Killer (9)
“okay?”
“… … That’s right.”
The appearance of Dam Sa-young receiving the report was calmer than expected.
The highest leader of the Gyoryongjo, the Gyoryongdaejang (蛟龍大將), could not hide his embarrassment at his master’s aloofness.
It was because the back of her looking out the window without saying a word was like that of a person who has been liberated.
‘He has changed.’
Yes. Dam Sa-yeong has changed.
In particular, the change has been remarkable in recent years. Originally, it was normal for a report like this to be greatly shaken.
Of course, the unsteadiness of the headman gives trust to his subordinates, but now, Dam Sa-yeong seemed to be completely out of touch with the situation he was in.
As if it were someone else’s business.
It has nothing to do with you, so it shows the appearance that it is not a big deal. That was the dissatisfaction of Captain Gyo-ryong, and at the same time, he felt an unknown sense of difference in the appearance of such a master.
“Fortunately, the three kings succeeded in escaping, but they said that they suffered considerable damage from the pursuer’s attack. I received a call saying that I am recovering from my injuries and awaiting my next order.”
“i get it.”
“… … .”
“If the report is over, let’s go out now.”
Captain Kyoryong wanted to say something more, but soon lowered his head.
“then.”
Squeak.
When Captain Gyo-ryong left, Dam Sa-young smiled.
It was a smile that was difficult to express in one word, such as bitterness, anger, sadness, resignation, and madness.
“Seoryang… … .”
Seo-ryang, Seo-ryang, Seo-ryang.
Dam Sa-young, who had been reciting his name several times, soon laughed.
“Yes, is this because it is Seo Liang, not Cheon Ha-jin anymore?”
After being reborn as the body of the three Gongja of the Heavenly Demon Church, he was clearly a Seoryang. It means that he is no longer the King of Salsuji, Cheon Ha-jin, who yearned for freedom.
Seo Liang, the person involved, took nearly a year to realize it, and Dam Sa-yeong still refused to acknowledge it.
But now it seems the time has come to admit it.
‘Well, even if I keep denying it, reality won’t change.’
Dam Sa-young put her hands on the window frame.
kudduk.
The hardness of the window frame his hand touched rose at an alarming rate.
Now, even if you raise your will with your hands on it, it is at a level where the blood god of gold is operated on its own. In a very short period of time, he was the one who completely made the Blood Gold Shingi his own.
Outstanding talent, perfectly polished bowl.
‘But it’s the same for the opponent.’
Xi Liang’s face came to mind.
On the face of a young man he had never seen before, the face of the king of assassins, wearing a gray mask that was a bit gloomy and incomprehensible.
‘Yes, I have to admit it.’
I have no choice but to admit it now.
A fact that he had been ignoring, the rope of truth that everyone else knew but that he had not let go of.
‘If this is the case, I will lose. no… … .’
Dam Sa-young’s smile grew thicker.
‘Indeed, it can be said that we have already lost.’
A bitter sense of defeat overtakes me.
Dam Sa-yeong never imagined that the day would come when she calmly accepted this defeat.
But the reality was.
‘This attack on the Iron Blood Castle was a golden opportunity to overturn the pendulum of war that had been leaning toward the Demonic Cult at once.’
Because you can simply get rid of the iron-blooded power?
Not like that.
The reason why he threw all the power of fire and mokgeuk to get rid of the iron blood castle was to eliminate the iron blood castle and at the same time to make a new blood god take root in its place.
Once rooted, the blood god can never be evaporated unless the two heavens return. Dam Sa-young did not doubt that.
And when the blood god, which has taken root deep in the ground, finally takes over the entire province of Jiangsu,
From then on, it was like having a huge siege engine that could move at will.
‘But now what does all that mean?’
In the end it failed.
It was fortunate that I was able to extract at least the essence of the wood-geuk and hwa-geuk. However, it may take several more years before the core of that power can be summoned and made useful.
Yes. In this war, in the end, the large-scale use of Blood God and Blood God was completely blocked.
Then, a voice was heard.
“But you can make that power yours.”
Dam Sa-young looked back.
“… … .”
There was no one.
However, he did not think that the owner of this voice would not be looking at him because no one was there.
Dam Sa-young laughed bitterly.
“Yes, I can make it mine.”
But that wasn’t the way I wanted it.
Dam Sa-yeong closed her eyes.
‘Thinking about it, it was a really long road.’

Until he was born into the world and became ambitious, he was nothing.
But when his eyes burned with ambition for the first time in his life.
From that moment on, he changed.
It has come such a long way indeed. In order to obtain the world in the Middle Plain, he inevitably needed extraneous powers, so he obtained the Heavenly Dragon Palace in the dark.
Furthermore, in the midfield, the forces were called at a frightening speed.
He also held hands with the personnel of the imperial palace in advance, and released the poison of desire to contaminate the political faction Murim.
After becoming the lord of Uicheon, the fire of desire became smaller, but it did not go out in the meantime.
One step at a time, one step at a time, life is at its peak.
I never thought that life, a life full of desires, would collapse to this extent because of the desire to get something more.
“Why do you think it collapsed?”
Dam Sa-yeong closed her eyes.
“The crab is broken. Because the human Dam Sa-yeong was not the one who won something by force.”
“Well, you’ve been good at scheming and ghost tricks since before. It is probably the first in the long history of Murim. The one who rose to the top of the world with his head, not his strength.”
“is it.”
“Whatever it is, one thing is clear. That you cannot be freed from the swamp of desire until you die.”
“… … .”
“Didn’t I become like this because of you?”
“what?”
“If it weren’t for you, I would still be revered as a god by future generations as a single heavenly dragon. But you took away the title of dragon god.”
Dam Sa-yeong opened her eyes.
Still no one was in the room.
But the voice continued.
“After all, it’s all thanks to you, and it’s because of you.”
Dam Sa-yeong smiled.
The thing that brought the world to this point, the thing that forced the person who should be there to become a monster no less than himself.
It’s all thanks to you, and it’s because of you.
And Dam Sa-yeong, who heard that, found herself surprisingly happy. At the same time, she was also sad because she was aware of the reality of her defeat.
“I really hate to admit it. that I was defeated.”
It’s not over yet. It is not too late to give up after you have mobilized everything you have and tried against it.
But do you really need to bump into it? It seems that the results have already been clear?
It was then.
“Second, Commander-in-Chief!”
It was the voice of the commander of the dragon.
Dam Sa-yeong’s face was once again bitter. It was because she could tell that something big had happened just by the voice of her subordinate.
“What’s going on?”
“The imperial palace! The Crown Prince!”
In an instant, Dam Sa-young opened her eyes.
“… … The Crown Prince?”
“The Crown Prince said he was attacked by assassins!”
“… … !”
“You called the commander right now!”
“Did you call me?”
“Yes, yes!”
Dam Sa-young did not think that this situation was a coincidence.
‘It’s a demonic cult.’
It probably didn’t come out of Xi Liang’s head. He wouldn’t have been able to afford to lead such a thing.
‘Are you a total military man?’
Well, who are they? All I had to do was know that this was the work of the Demonic Cult.
The important thing was this.
‘Why did they use the killers to target the crown prince?’
The answer came right away.
‘Right. It’s a trick to shake this side.’
But did he aim for the crown prince simply with the thought of shaking this side?
Dam Sa-yeong asked, thinking deeply.
“How many lives? No, did the killers say they just withdrew?”
“They say the number is uncountable! However, only the number of captured sprays is three hundred!”
three hundred. It was a staggering number indeed.
“He and the killers are still not leaving the vicinity of the imperial palace!”
Upon hearing that, Dam Sa-young realized.
‘They’re trying to pressure the crown prince. The Demonic Cult knows the personality of the prince. It has no choice but to be. He kidnapped the emperor.’
Dam Sa-yeong shook her head.
‘This is Won, the one-rounder.’
It’s a cruel joke. Indeed, the general army of the Demonic Cult, he properly knew how to shake the enemy camp.
Furthermore, the fact that watering was mobilized to prevent a power vacuum from occurring was surprising in itself,
Imprinting the existence of an ‘assassin’ on the head of the prince, who did not know much about Murim, was truly a divine move.
Knowing this, I have no choice but to suffer. The reason is that the victim was not himself, but the crown prince.
‘And the meaning of attacking the crown prince directly.’
Dam Sa-young’s eyes flashed.
“The time has come.”
It’s a seal.
It was clear that they were going to use the Seal of the Seal. It must mean that he would pull out the strongest sword, the symbolism of the empire, seize the victorious spirit, and enter the hardening phase at once.
“Heh heh heh.”
Dam Sa-young let out a dejected laugh.
“Is this Dam Sa-young collapsing like this in the end?”
The cause of the powerless is nothing more than an empty cry.
However, if the justification goes to the powerful, the moment it is put forth, it becomes justice.
‘Even if we win in this situation, in the end, the world will be far away.’
If the iron-blood castle is destroyed, there is a possibility that they will unite by force. But even that failed.
until now.
Dam Sa-young completely accepted her defeat.
“… … This, you can’t even sigh.”
Was the bitter taste of defeat so strong?
To the extent that not even a single tear came out, let alone a sigh.
Dam Sa-young, who was looking down at the table bitterly, heard a mysterious voice once again.
“Isn’t it from here?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Isn’t the reversal starting now?”
Dam Sa-yeong frowned.
“What bullshit is that! Tell me so I can understand!”
“Your words are rough. After all, you are also a human being, aren’t you?”
slither.
A one-armed young man appeared in front of Dam Sa-young.
It may be an illusion or it may be real. Dam Sa-young had long given up on examining the reality of that existence.
The young man grinned. It was a woman’s laugh.
“Do you know about the existence of parasites? It is a strange insect that parasitizes on the body of another creature to replenish its nutrients or manipulates its host at will.”
“so!”
“You have been living like a parasite, haven’t you? With desire in his mouth, he seized control of the organization while the enemies were confused, and controlled the forces by hiding thoroughly behind them.”
“… … !”
“Of course, the Demonic Cult is not an easy opponent. The Demonic Master… … It’s a pity, but you will be hard to deal with now. Well, I don’t know if I accept all the blood gods.”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes became bloodshot.
A young man, no name said.
“Think of the past. and remember me That there is a staggering move left to reverse this lost war, literally in one fell swoop.”
Dam Sa-yeong immediately understood what Moo-myeong was saying.
And the moment I understood it, I was swept away by a strong temptation. And I couldn’t help but sigh at the current situation where I was tempted by such a method.
“What are the chances of success?”
“If I help you, I will paint it.”
“To paint… … I’m going to paint it.”
“It’s high.”
“It is low. I’m not the only one who moves with that kind of confidence.”
“You were different in the past. If I had seen the possibility of working, I would have risked my life without hesitation.”
“… … .”
“how will we do it?”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes flashed.
Yes. The fight isn’t over yet.
Rather, if you succeed, you have a staggering move to get everything from the enemy.
“I’m going to the prince.”
