Episode 913
Originally there was nothing (1)
Kkeik.
The iron door opened.
Mokgyedam didn’t even frown an eyebrow despite the unpleasant smell that wafted in.
‘also.’
Mokgyedam’s eyes deepened.
Where he looked, there was an old man who looked older and thinner than he had been just a few days ago.
Unlike before, even though I opened the door and came in, I couldn’t raise my head. It was clear that there was no strength in his body.
But I could tell about Mokgyedam. This old man is clearly aware of his appearance.
‘I have no strength, but my heart is still not broken.’
It wasn’t just my heart that wasn’t broken.
The minimum level of magic needed to maintain the body is still intact. If the body had become so devastated, it would be normal for the demonic energy that supports life to decrease, but there was no difference from when I visited not long ago.
Mokgyedam, who had been looking down at the old man for a while, slowly sat down.
It was then.
Kaaaaang!
A withered finger wiggled in front of Mokgyedam’s nose.
Before he knew it, the old man had moved and was reaching out his hand toward him. However, he couldn’t reach it because of the chains on his ankles that were connected to the wall.
“You are amazing.”
Mokgyedam spoke in a calm voice.
“I knew you were in good health, but I never thought you could move like this.”
Between white hair stained with grime.
A pair of terrifying eyes looked towards Mokgyedam.
As Mokgyedam met those eyes, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
It is said that the eyes are the window to the heart. However, for a martial artist, eye light was also a window through which a person’s power could be glimpsed.
The old man’s eyes, which were so red that his pupils were not visible, were full of overwhelming majesty. Even in this state of losing strength and not being able to perform even a decent martial arts attack, he was giving his opponent a terrifying intimidation just with his eyes.
“…also.”
The old man’s voice became much thicker and quieter than before.
“It’s out of reach.”
“Yes, I didn’t reach it.”
Mokgyedam raised his finger.
“Unlike me.”
He lightly hit the old man’s hand with his finger.
bang!
An old man flew into a binge and was thrown against the wall.
Sssss.
The fallen stone dust turned the old man’s hair gray.
An ordinary person who had not learned martial arts would have fractured his spine just by hitting him.
But the old man was fine. It seemed like he had lost his strength again, but his eyes were still the same as he raised his head and glared at Mokgyedam.
Mokgyedam shook his head.
“What kind of nonsense is this? “If I keep living like this, it won’t be good for you either.”
“If you can die, it’s better to die.”
“If you really want to die, shouldn’t you just kill yourself?”
The old man’s hair twitched. He is smiling.
“What did you mean by suicide to Mine?”
“That’s why I was able to keep you here.”
“….”
“Do you want to die?”
“It would be better to die than to look like this in front of you.”
“You have really changed a lot. “I never thought those words would come out of your mouth.”
The old man glared at Mokgyedam in silence.
Mokgyedam, who was looking at the old man, spoke calmly.
“The third one brought the Murim Alliance troops.”
“…!”
“It looks like they are planning to destroy the entire place. “Seeing as they even brought the Holy Demon expert with them.”
“It would be better to disappear than to be trampled by you.”
“It’s not something I should say as Lord Rim.”
“The person who drove out that Lord Lim and took the throne for himself still calls me Lord Lim.”
“….”
“If you came here with the intention of seeing the pitiful behavior of losers, then take a good look before leaving.”
“….”
“If you have anything else to say, just say it and get out of the way. “It’s disgusting to even breathe in the same space as you.”
Mokgyedam’s eyebrows twitched.
It was a very small change in facial expression. However, the change proved that there was a crack in Mokgyedam’s heart.
“I was just going to say what I had to say, but I changed my mind.”
“A sloppy b*stard.”
“yes. It’s messy. But I can’t help it. Demon is chaos and irregularity itself. “Living as you please, isn’t that the devil?”
“You are a simpleton who mistakenly thinks you know the world with your small head… There is no such thing as Jeongjeojiwa. “I’ve always taught you not to be impatient, but can’t you change your nature?”

Clap!!
Before he knew it, Mokgyedam approached the old man, grabbed him by the neck, and pushed him against the wall.
Mokgyedam said coldly.
“Aren’t you curious about the fourth child’s identity?”
“….”
“Yeah, you wouldn’t be curious. “Because you don’t want to admit the existence of the bloodline that betrayed you and helped the rebellion by my side.”
“….”
“He’s dead.”
“…!”
“He died quite miserably, too. “My whole body is shriveled, and even a ninety-year-old woman would look prettier than that.”
The old man’s eyes wavered.
A wry smile appeared on Mokgyedam’s face.
“Still, it looks like I’ve been feeding my children a lot of different things since they were young. “It sucked all the energy out of my body, and the amount was enormous.”
“You sure?”
“It’s Chaeumboyang (採陰補陽)… You condemned such magical techniques as common arts that are shameful to even call it a secret art of the world.”
Mokgyedam shook his head.
“But that’s not true. “Just as a wild animal eats its prey and burns its own flesh, gathering food for health is one of the most natural methods.”
“this…!”
“There were many people who wanted the fourth’s body. I was planning on giving it away as a trophy, but when they saw it, no one wanted to touch it. “Well, it’s shriveled up to the point where it crumbles if you just hold your hand.”
The old man’s majestic eyes were filled with hatred and sadness.
“You really are…!”
“If you are thinking of saying that you are walking the path of outer magic, I would like to tell you that it is a compliment to me. “Is there anything more joyous than this since the person who walks the magic path has truly become a demon?”
Mokgyedam snorted and relaxed his grip.
The old man who fell to the ground looked up at Mokgyedam.
“Look here, Master.”
“….”
“Are you not going to tell me the fate of Pacheongyeol until the end?”
“Crazy guy.”
“Even if you bring a few masters from the Murim Alliance, do you think you can handle the troops gathered here?”
“Shut up. “You will never be able to get your hands on Pacheongyeol.”
“If I catch the third child, do you think I will kill him? “I will never kill the third child.”
A blood-red aura shimmered in Mokgyedam’s eyes. His eyes were full of intense desire, different from the majesty of the old man.
In a way, it could be said that his eyes resemble those of the devil he speaks of.
“Even if you want to die, I will make it so you can’t. It will bring you heavenly pleasure and hellish pain. “I will completely subdue his spirit and turn him into a dog that lives by licking my feet.”
“This guy!”
“The Cheon clan collaterals living in Cheonghae will be completely destroyed. “Actually, if you look at the state of the third child’s body, it looks like he is already completely ruined.”
“I will never, ever forgive you!”
“I never asked for forgiveness. “I have no intention of asking for forgiveness until the moment I die.”
“This guy…”
“Get over the breaking point.”
“Shut up!”
“If the master overcomes the challenge, the third child will not live as my dog. “I may not be able to keep you alive, but I will at least promise you a clean death.”
“this!”
“I’ll give you one day. “I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Mokgyedam turned around.
“I will come back at this time tomorrow. “If you don’t give Pacheongyeol even then, the third child will live a more miserable life than the fourth child.”
“….”
“Pacheongyeol will be in my hands anyway, so please think carefully, Master.”
bang!
The iron door closed.
The light coming in from the small iron window just below the ceiling seemed quite bright today.
“….”
The face of the old man who was glaring at the iron door gradually became expressionless.
The change was slow, yet natural and dynamic.
The old man closed his eyes.
‘It seems like you’re in a hurry.’
He did not believe that his daughter, the fourth child, had defected.
Naturally, I did not believe that he died after being consumed by Mokgyedam. No, I was sure.
‘Chaeumboyang… You’re still too far gone to try to shake me up with a move that doesn’t even sound like words.’
When the b*stard came to visit him before, he couldn’t help but be overcome with anguish.
The agony was over before the b*stard came back. He searched for answers for a long time and finally made a choice.
At that moment, he opened the door to this place. I hate the word fate, but I couldn’t help but say that it was truly a fateful moment.
The old man raised his hand.
It was difficult to lift even one arm due to the thick piece of metal tied to my wrist. The moment I rushed in to grab the guy’s neck, I had already used up all my strength.
I benefited from acting in such a way that I was provoked and provoked.
Ugh. Ugh.
A faint demonic energy rose from the old man’s body.
The bluish magic did not match the old man’s prayers at all. It was insidious and cold.
That energy was more suited to Mokgyedam’s prayer than to that of the old man.
‘You don’t know how to nourish the body. No, I don’t know what it is.’
Suction.
Jeong (精) means essence.
The essence of a martial artist is internal energy, and the essence of a person is life force itself.
The old man tried his hand at all kinds of magical arts when he was young. This was because I seriously thought about what a demon was and wanted to reach the extreme with it.
However, even though I knew about the absorption magic technique, it was difficult to put it into practice. The act itself was easy, but it didn’t seem like I could handle it.
He hesitated in performing the absorption magic attack because he felt that he would lose his humanity rather than being able to handle the physical martial arts.
Just once.
After pondering over and over again, and having used the Absorbing Magic Ball just once, he gave up on achieving the pinnacle of magic and turned his attention to the pinnacle of martial arts.
He then used the energy absorption magic that he had sealed himself. In a moment when the other person does not realize it, he has made an amount of it his own that he does not even realize.
It was a truly insignificant amount, but it was a meaningful move because the opponent was Mokgyedam.
Woooooo!!
The demonic energy of Mokgyedam, who had reached sainthood, began to melt into the demonic energy of the old man who was maintaining his life.
The wheel, which had been stopped by the old man’s demonic power, which was hardened by a lot of rust, began to slowly rotate, stimulated by the power of another holy demon.
Rumbling!!
The chain tied to the cart wheel could not withstand the terrifying movement and broke.
The chains of reality were the same.
Kaang!
The chains restraining my limbs were broken at once.
It was indeed the first time in a long time that he felt freedom of his limbs. Since it was a completely isolated solitary confinement, it was possible to cut it off in advance.
The old man looked at his hands for a moment and then closed his eyes again.
There was no hesitation. However, once it sprouts, it cannot be undone, so the feeling was both light and mixed.
‘If the situation worsens due to my fault, I have no choice but to end it with my life.’
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the old man’s face.
‘Not the succession, the curse of the Cheon family, the relationship with the Gwanghyeol, or the Absorbing Demonic Art… It was a life in which I could not achieve what I wanted.’
Rumbling!!
The magic’s rotation became faster.
Almost all of its power has been taken away, but the vessel remains the same. The old man’s powerful vitality filled the empty vessel.
The old man who was waiting for the day to die turns to Sinmarimju Hyeokryeonhwi.
The Demon Son (魔仙) whose name was given to Seongcheon began to return to being a demon with the surname Cheon.
‘Just one day…you’ll regret giving me one day.’
