Episode 911
The Demon’s Breath (6)
Mokgyedam’s eyes looking at the Great Master were colorless and transparent.
The carpet he stepped on was a dark red color. It was so soft that if you stepped on it once, your peach bone would be buried in it.
Mokgyedam thought. This dark red carpet is like mud stained with blood. It seems like it’s a swamp made up of the souls of the dead, so it’s sinking in like this.
It doesn’t suit me.
Mokgyedam thought again. This mud-like carpet is definitely not suitable for this place.
Only the strong can sit at the Taesa of Shinmarim. However, the strong self-respect of Shinmarim was different from the strong self-respect of the Mado Murim three hundred years ago.
True magic is no different from chaos.
Such was the nature of the devil. It is a mixture of violence, betrayal, obscenity, death, ridicule, thirst, broken order, and productive destruction that cannot be understood by human common sense.
So pure.
The devil was chaos itself. Such is the nature of demons that they had no choice but to be ostracized in the human world.
Mokgyedam, who was looking at Taesa, suddenly felt disgusted.
‘That’s funny.’
Strong self-respect? Only the strong can stand at the top?
With only half of that pride, I felt like I had remained a mysterious group of martial artists.
Strong self-respect is a law of nature. The White Island political faction in the East Continent, which promotes inferior morals, also does not treat anyone other than the strong.
It was the instinct of all living things to serve and admire the strong. In other words, if you think about it differently, the White Island Jeong faction and the Black Island Sa faction could also be seen as tributaries of the devil.
However, a true magician should not stop at simply looking at and admiring the strong.
Death and death violence and violence.
It had to be filled with love to betray, love to humiliate, and coexistence to destroy relationships.
That was true magic. In the eyes of ignorant people who only see one side of the world, it may be no different from hell, but the nature of the world was chaos, and the desire for destruction was the most fundamental desire of living things.
All humans in this world who ignore the fundamentals and live are unclean beings.
It’s only magic. Those who understand demons are those who know the rules of this world, and when such a person gains power, he becomes the king of the world.
The Lord Shinmarim and his followers did not know that.
“How about it?”
A strange shape stirred behind Mokgyesam.
It felt like smoke and also like a person. It was like a ghost and also like an animal.
An indefinable being spoke.
“How do you feel now that the Taesai of Shinma, whom you have wanted so much, is right in front of you?”
Mokgye-sam smiled without even looking back.
“Do you think I wanted a prince like that?”
“hmm? Then how did you intend to gain power? “I don’t think it’s because I simply want to become stronger.”
Mokgye-sam laughed at him inwardly.
Even the super expert who came from the blood-red religion that was said to be the successor to the true magic martial arts world was not seeing what he was seeing.
If you look at things like this, even the devil will eventually become enlightened. I myself came a very long way to truly understand the meaning of a single letter.
“Wanting to be strong is everyone’s desire. “I just wanted to become stronger.”
“Are you saying there’s nothing else you want?”
“It is like that now. “I want to rest.”
“Hmm.”
“But when I want to move again, I will have to live with the demonic character once again.”
“What is the devil you see?”
“Endless chaos.”
Smoke billowed once. He seemed surprised and also seemed like he was laughing.
“Is this going to cause chaos throughout this vast world?”
“exactly.”
“You are an interesting person. “You’re saying something similar to our ancestors who dealt with the four-colored madman 300 years ago.”
“exactly?”
“It’s only half of it.”
Only then did Mokgye-sam look back.
When it wasn’t in my field of vision, it looked like smoke, but when I looked directly at it, it was clearly a being with the appearance of a human being.
The monster in the smoke was dwarfed.
Although she was small, her waist was very bent. The clothes looked old and the skin was wrinkled.
He was an old man who seemed to be over eighty years old. The cane holding the ground looked very old-fashioned.
He was a strange old man.
It was the kind of appearance you would see once in any rural village. The clothes, posture, and face were like that.
But you couldn’t feel its presence unless you were looking closely. There is not even the vitality that humans naturally feel. However, evil spirit energy did not replace it.
It was complete nothingness. That was the presence of the old man.
“Did you say it was half-sized?”
“That’s right.”
“Why half?”
“Did you say you wanted chaos?”
“exactly.”
“There is no such thing as true confusion in concepts that can be defined.”
“…?!”
“Chaos is literally chaos. Chaos is a concept that cannot be conquered. Demons are not without such attributes, but if you truly pursue chaos, you wouldn’t be alive until now.”
Mokgye-sam’s eyes wavered.
The old man grinned.

Even though he was so old, none of his teeth were intact.
“You are strong. The talent is also outstanding. “If you had caught the attention of the head of our church first, rather than the head of Shinmarim, you might have become the first outsider to rise to the position of vice-president.”
Vice leader of Gwanghyeolgyo.
The leader and deputy leader are positions that cannot be held unless they are of direct lineage.
Among them, the position of the leader is immutable, but the position of the deputy leader is not. There were a few cases where, if there was a person with particularly outstanding achievements, the position of vice-priest was given to him, ignoring his lineage.
In other words, the highest position that those carrying demons at the time could aim for was that of Gwanghyeolgyo’s deputy leader. Except for Saeum and Shinhwa, of course.
“But is it because I learned from that renegade Shinmarimju? Your vision is very limited. “Well, if it’s a demon that sees only what it wants to see, then you could say it’s a demon.”
A faint demonic energy appeared in Mokgyesam’s eyes.
Even the old man didn’t know what he was feeling.
‘It’s definitely amazing.’
The old man lived a life nearly twice as long as Mokgyesam. He was also a magician who was called a genius.
However, the young man in front of me seemed to have been born with a much higher level of talent than himself. If he were to fight right now, the odds of that young man beating him wouldn’t be even a penny, but if he trained for another ten years, he wouldn’t be able to guarantee how he would win or lose.
‘It’s a shame. If I had come to this school, I would have been able to fully blossom with that talent.’
While the old man feels regret.
Mokgyesam opened his mouth.
“Did you see it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you see the former Rimju?”
The old man grinned.
“I saw it. “Almost everyone died.”
“Are you still alive?”
“A person whose vitality is stronger than an iron tendon. amazing. Even in such a situation, your mental strength remains the same. “It is enough to hear the voices of the entire martial arts world.”
Mokgye-sam said as if he was displeased.
“He is nothing but trash.”
“Still, it’s nice to say something like that to a teacher who once gave you affection and taught you.”
“I am naturally narrow-minded.”
“Hehehehe.”
The old man stepped onto the carpet.
“But you can’t deny that he’s a great person. “I don’t know his original skill, but just by looking at the purity of his remaining magic energy, I can see how high of a level he is as a godman.”
“He is a worthless person.”
“Don’t say that. As I said, looking at the purity of his Magi, no priest of our church can surpass him. Would a pontoon leader be a winner? In order to kill him for sure, the cult leader might have had to use his own hands.”
It was extremely overrated.
Mokgye-sam shook his head. He denied the existence of his teacher until the end.
“He was able to overcome the limits of the devil. But even though I could have reached it, I gave up. And then I turned my attention to martial arts.”
“Those guys on the continent didn’t give us the nickname ‘Demon Demon’ for nothing.”
“Masun? It’s not even funny. He’s a piece of trash who isn’t even half as good as he is. “Even though you were born with such talent, you don’t even have the courage to throw yourself completely into the devil… It’s absolutely disgusting.”
“Hehehe.”
While they were talking, the old man continued to walk on the carpet.
After passing the wooden wall, he stood in front of the prince and sat down, patting his waist.
For a moment, Mokgye-sam’s eyes became sharp.
The old man tilted his head.
“why? “Didn’t you say you were not interested in Taesa?”
“Come down.”
“Was it a bluff?”
“That position is vacant. “I plan on destroying it right now.”
“I don’t know if it’s pride or what, but please stop talking nonsense and tell me what you plan to do next. “As I get older, it’s hard to even stand.”
“….”
Mokgye-sam, who was quietly glaring at the old man, spoke in a cool voice.
“In the future, you will die by my hands.”
“Anyway, I’m a person who works on today and tomorrow. “If it’s a threat, you picked the wrong target.”
“….”
“So what do you plan to do next?”
Mokgye-sam raised one hand.
Grumble!
In an instant, his hand spewed out red flames. The entire hand spewed out red flames, and the firepower was truly enormous.
Mokgyesam looked at the flames.
There was a world inside that was invisible to other people’s eyes.
“You’re fighting the Homadan.”
“Oh really?”
The old man stroked his chin.
“You mean the Three Princes who brought the Murim League troops?”
“exactly.”
“The unstoppable battle is amazing. “I can’t feel the military spirit and life flowing out of me.”
“It will be the same over there.”
“That’s right.”
Mokgye-sam’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the flames.
“Even though the troops were sent to kill everyone… it’s still surprising.”
“why?”
“Only five of us are dealing with five hundred. “More than half of it has already been swept away.”
“Ohh?”
The old man’s face was filled with smiles, as if he was watching his grandchild play.
“It looks like the Murim Alliance has dispatched quite a few experts. “They are all people who have mastered the magical arts of divine magic, but just the five of them are destroying them all?”
“There is a female expert with tremendous archery skills.”
“Archery? Female expert?”
“exactly.”
Mokgyedam slightly tilted his head.
“She’s a female expert at archery… I’ve heard that before somewhere.”
“Gungung maiden.”
Mokgye-sam looked at the old man.
The old man’s face, which had been full of smiles, suddenly became stiff.
“It’s a b*tch named Mukbi, a noble lady. “I am a young master who is considered the best archer in the martial arts world of the Tanggeum Continent.”
“Um, right…”
Mokgye-sam paused for a moment and continued.
“I heard that there is a master who goes around with a b*tch who looks like a noble lady or something.”
The old man asked in a sharp voice.
“Is there anyone there holding an axe? “He is a young man who appears to be in his twenties or thirties.”
Mokgyesam looked into the flame again.
“…there is.”
“It’s amazing.”
The old man smiled empty-handedly.
“Yeonhojeong… It really is stained with a terrible relationship with us.”
The old man came down from Taesai.
“Yeonhojeong, that guy is not someone you can handle. “Don’t be hasty.”
Mokgye-sam frowned.
“He’s a young guy.”
“In terms of martial arts, you are much younger. “I don’t know, but if you catch up with him, you’ll be brutally murdered before you turn fifty.”
The old man standing at the edge of the carpet sighed.
“Now I’m sick of just hearing Yeon’s last name.”
