Side Story Episode 33. Covert Mission (1)
As always, Lee Cheon-sang practiced in the open space behind Yachagak.
Paang!
The sound of air exploding was very pleasant.
As time passed, his fighting skills became sharper and more monotonous. The movements that Bang Hyo and Ji Ji-geon misunderstood as dance were framed as a combination of strong moderation and softness.
phut! Papang! Paaang!
There were two pairs of eyes watching Lee Cheon-sang, who was constantly punching the air.
Yang Geon said while chewing beef jerky.
“That bastard, who is he training so hard to beat up?”
Juyeongyo, who was eating beef jerky next to him, heard his words.
“Do you really have to learn martial arts to catch someone? “You have to be strong to survive.”
“That’s true, but he goes too far.”
“I think it’s an attitude that a warrior should emulate.”
“Then why don’t you just imitate me and practice? Why are you just watching?”
“I don’t want to do that yet.”
Yang Geon burst out laughing.
Several days have passed since Punggok Danju was captured. Meanwhile, the two had become quite close.
It wasn’t because our personalities matched well, but because there weren’t too many people here. Moreover, one of them was so hard that he looked down on rocks and steel, so naturally the remaining two had no choice but to become friends.
“by the way.”
Yang Geon tilted his head.
“The more I look at him, the more strange he is.”
“personality?”
“Anything.”
“but… … .”
“Even though I was like this, I wandered around a lot. I thought I saw a lot of people, but this is my first time seeing a guy like that. “He seems like a guy with no emotions.”
At that moment, Juyeongyo remembered Lee Cheon-sang’s words.
– I was always passive. I know what people are feeling, but I can’t empathize with them. So I didn’t reach out or talk to him first. Because there is no reason.
This is a word that is difficult to understand.
‘I know people’s emotions, but I cannot sympathize with them…’ … ‘What on earth does this mean?’
Emotions are something that everyone is born with.
There are differences in how to handle or accept it more delicately, but no one is born without it at all. However, Lee Cheon-sang was speaking and acting as if he was born without emotions.
‘Like you said, Yang Geon is a really strange person.’
While she was lost in thought, Yang Geon continued.
“And look.”
“what?”
“You don’t stop us from watching and you don’t even care? “Training martial arts.”
“ah.”
“Any martial artist doesn’t want to show the training process. If you see something unexpectedly, it’s polite to apologize and walk away. But look at that guy.”
Yang Geon shrank his neck and spoke in an exaggerated voice.
“It doesn’t matter, just don’t make a fuss.”
“… … .”
“Truly, don’t you think we are just passing mutts, not people?”
“If you don’t like it, you can go in, right?”
“no. “I still want to take a look.”
Yang Geon chuckled.
At first glance, he seems to have an unpredictable personality, but Juyeongyo was able to understand Yang Geon to some extent.
He is a bright person by nature. He knows how to gently handle relationships with people, regardless of good or evil, and has excellent skills in making sure that even when he jokes a little too much, it doesn’t feel unpleasant.
Although it is not common, it often exists in this category. However, what makes him a little more special is the environment.
It wasn’t easy to live with a personality as bubbly as Yang Geon in this bloody Heavenly Demon Church. In a way, it can be said to be as unique as Lee Cheon-sang.
“I think I should take that guy out for a drink today.”
“Would you like to drink it?”
“Do you know what that guy’s strengths are?”
“What?”
“Even if you’re crazy, you’re only moderately crazy. So comfortable. “As long as you open your mind, most requests will be accepted.”
Juyeongyo chuckled without realizing it.
“So you’re very crazy?”
“It is difficult to find a normal person as attractive as me in Protestantism.”
“You’re laughing.”
It was then.
Phew!
A ray of wind mixed with heavy magical energy irritated the two people’s skin.
The two were surprised and looked at Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang, who extended his fist in a low bow stance, remained still in that position.
But the only thing that stopped was the posture.
Ugh! Wooooow!
The strong magical energy flowing from Lee Cheon-sang’s body began to be colored, albeit faintly.
Yang Geon widened his eyes. Juyeongyo’s eyes also became serious.
Saaaaagh!

The unique intimidation unique to Magi disappears, and its place is filled with a majesty that is difficult to explain.
Wow!!
Lee Cheon-sang’s body vibrated slightly.
It was very mysterious to see the faint haze rising from the feet encroaching on the demonic energy emanating from the entire body and converging back to the dantian.
Lee Cheon-sang slowly closes his eyes.
Like a river being sucked into a small hole, the demonic energy gathered at an alarming speed towards the Danjeon, and before I knew it, it was taking on a faint golden color.
And the moment when all the demon energy gathers into the dantian.
Flash!
When Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes, the light in his eyes was colored with a soft golden light, but then became quiet.
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang, who straightened his posture, repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists.
“… … “Oh Seong (五成).”
Unbelievably, the attainment of Geumgang Yachamakong, which until recently had remained in the four provinces, has now entered the five provinces.
It was truly an incredible achievement. How long has it been since he learned martial arts properly? He has already trained the highest level of magical arts to five stars.
But Lee Cheon-sang was not happy. Even though she didn’t know what joy was.
‘It’s blocked.’
The fundamental reason for the rapid achievement of magic has not yet been found.
But now, I realized one thing.
‘From here on, it is impossible to achieve things as quickly as now.’
There is a section that cannot be understood through old methods and can only be realized by actually learning martial arts.
‘From the beginning, a higher level of military discipline and a strong desire are required. It wasn’t like that before, but it will definitely get harder from now on.’
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
‘It’s desire.’
It was then.
“Hey, congratulations.”
When Lee Cheon-sang raised his head, Yang Geon and Juyeon Gyo were already approaching.
“I feel rewarded for my ruthless training. “There were achievements in magic, right?”
“okay.”
“Congratulations. “When I look at it like this, it makes me think, maybe I should stop eating beef jerky and start training?”
“Regrets are meaningless. “Do it now.”
“You stiff bastard. Man, even if I want to, I can’t do it today because of you!”
“It’s because of me?”
“You should drink celebratory wine!”
Juyeon-gyo thought Lee Cheon-sang would reject it.
“I don’t know if it’s something to celebrate, but let’s do it.”
“Hehe, good.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Lee Cheon-sang turned around.
“I’m going to take a shower.”
“Wash up slowly. “Because I didn’t lose.”
Lee Cheon-sang entered the living room without answering.
“her.”
Yang Geon sat down on the spot and crossed his arms.
Yang Geon’s expression, a mixture of envy, surprise, and playful jealousy, was truly subtle.
“That’s a really great kid. Even though he’s crazy, that kind of attitude is really worth imitating. “A martial arts person is so calm even though he has achieved great achievements. He is someone who wouldn’t be surprised if lightning strikes next to him.”
“saw?”
“hmm? what?”
Unlike Yang Geon, Juyeongyo’s expression was quite serious.
“That demon just now… … .”
Yang Geon tilted his head.
“Why Magi?”
“… … .”
Juyeongyo, who was silently looking at the sight of Yacha, shook his head.
“no. “I guess I saw it wrong.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll take a shower too. “See you around here later.”
“Uh oh, are you changing words? Oh my? Are you really going? You want me to wait here alone? And what did you do to wash it? hey! Are you going to make me a loner?!”
Even the fuss that seemed earnest at first glance was not enough to catch her as she entered the house.
Yang Geon chuckled.
“Anyway, these guys don’t have the slightest bit of social skills. “This is going to make me very tired, right?”
Yang Geon, who was giggling alone, stopped laughing for a moment.
‘… … .’
Yang Geon’s eyes, which were looking at the Yacha with a serious face, were colored with a coolness that Lee Cheon-sang and Joo Yeon-gyo had never seen before.
‘I didn’t see it wrong.’
Even though it was only a moment, no, it was only a split second, Yang Geon was able to see it.
Before the intangible magical energy began to slowly turn golden.
Intangible demonic energy of a higher quality instantly flowed into Lee Cheon-sang’s eyebrows.
‘The top battle was open. That too… … .’
Yang Geon’s eyes wavered.
‘It was completely open.’
Yang Geon and Juyeon Gyo were people of first-class ability. Of course, the amount of magic energy they possess is completely different from that of demons.
The demonic energy radiating from Lee Cheon-sang was so strong that the two people’s bodies instantly flinched. Quality is quality, but also in quantity, it was superior to the two.
However, some of that demon energy seeped into Lee Cheon-sang’s eyebrows like a thunderbolt.
The gap in magical energy decreased so quickly that it seemed like the energy was naturally lost. Excluding the demonic energy that was sucked into the upper chamber, the rest of the energy will be gathered into Lee Cheon Sang’s lower chamber and build a stable foundation.
‘Sangdanjeon. That guy opened it. ‘It wasn’t opened half-heartedly, but perfectly.’
There are not many people who completely open the upper part. It’s hard to find one among the peak masters right now.
If he went one step further, he could draw on the energy of Sangdanjeon and affect martial arts, but that was still a very distant state for Yang Geon.
‘It’s close to impossible to hold a top match with that guy’s skills. If you have any understanding of the Neigongsimbeop, no one will believe you.’
Yang Geon’s eyes, which had been shaking, soon calmed down.
‘Have you been hiding your skills? No, that’s not it.’
If he was hiding his skills, there’s no way he didn’t know about it.
‘The more I look at him, the more strange he is.’
Although he has ties to the criminal court, he was selected as a Yasha commander. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, but his skills are quite outstanding.
The emotions that humans should have are absent, but despite this, there is a will to understand emotions and make efforts to ’empathize’ with them.
‘What are you really?’
After a while.
“What about Joo Yeon-gyo?”
Seeing Lee Cheon-sang come out dressed in new clothes, Yang Geon grinned.
“I went to take a shower. Women wash for a long time, right? “You’ll have to wait a while, too.”
“Sure.”
* * *
Three people heading to Homiru.
Yang Geon had a lot to say as always, and Juyeon Gyo listened without much change in his expression and responded from time to time. As expected, Lee Cheon-sang kept his expressionless face.
How long did it take to walk like that?
“… … .”
Lee Cheon-sang stopped walking. Yang Geon and Juyeon Gyo followed him and stopped.
On the shortcut to Homiru, a small forest road with no people, a masked person was blocking their path.
Yang Geon asked.
“What show?”
“Lee Cheon-sang, Yang Geon, and Joon-gyo from Yacha Command.”
“… … ?”
“Am I right?”
“That’s right, but who are you?”
“Follow me.”
The masked man walked next to Soro.
Yang Geon frowned.
“What is that suspicious guy?”
Juyeongyo’s eyes also became more intense.
“I don’t know who he is, but he is quite powerful.”
“That makes it even more suspicious. “It’s a side story, but what on earth is it that you wear a mask inside a Protestant church?”
At that time, Lee Cheon-sang took a step.
“Uh, Heaven? “Are you going to follow that guy?”
“okay.”
“I don’t even know who you are?”
“I don’t know who it is, but I can’t help but follow it.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“There is a master. “Much stronger.”
