Episode 491
“Wow!”
A demonic cultist with a sword stuck in his chest collapsed in place, coughing up blood.
When the battle was over, the sun was already setting in the evening.
I took a deep breath as I looked around the fields bathed in twilight.
‘The cult leader did not appear until the end.’
Although they were surprised by the sudden appearance of the White-Faced Reaper, the Allied Forces ultimately won with ease.
I felt relieved but also anxious at the same time.
Master Ma had no intention of just letting go of his hands and watching the battle unfold.
It was the turning point that decided whether the war would be won or lost.
It was a situation where he absolutely had to move, but since there was still no news, my doubts could not help but grow.
‘The Demonic Cult will have to somehow prepare the foundation for a reversal before the balance completely collapses.’
What is up with him that makes him so quiet?
It’s not like you’re going to give up everything and go back to Heaven.
“Boss.”
“Is there a problem.”
“We have selected people who will protect the law. “Please leave the cleaning up to me and take a rest.”
“I am okay.”
“Aren’t you addicted?”
“It’s no big deal. “I also took anti-inflammatory medicine given to me by the doctor.”
“You have already fulfilled your role as general commander. There is no need to push yourself any further than this.”
“······.”
“Director, you are the core force of the Baekdo martial arts team. “You must always keep it in perfect condition.”
Behind Samaun and Hwadaerang, there were many Cheonan Kambu members lined up.
I wanted to say that I was overly worried, but I couldn’t because of the piercing stares.
I scratched the back of my head with a sheepish expression and then nodded.
‘There’s nothing really wrong with my body.’
Just because I went to the rear and didn’t rest, it didn’t mean I didn’t take care of my body.
Instead of swinging the sword at the forefront, he concentrated on commanding and continued to use the white lightning to burn off most of the poisonous energy.
Since I had taken the medicine after getting a cancellation from Tang Seo-yeon, there would be no aftereffects.
‘That’s right.’
It didn’t feel that bad.
If it were me in my past life, I would have felt uncomfortable rather than grateful at the worried gazes of those around me.
Because the devil’s religion is a place where your life is in danger if you look down on it.
“······.”
The members stood around me as I sat cross-legged on the floor.
As I closed my eyes and sank my consciousness inside, I thought of those who left the battlefield to chase down the White-Faced Reaper.
‘The investigation is probably in full swing right now.’
Did the White-Faced Reaper escape to the headquarters of the Demonic Cult?
I could have sworn that wasn’t the case.
Do you have the courage to choose a physical battle over a clear long-term field?
He was a master of stealth and camouflage.
When running away from his pursuers, he was the one who jumped into the crowd instead of the open road.
‘We quickly formed a chase team, but we probably lost him in the end.’
Is it easier said than done to catch an absolute expert who is trying to leave the battlefield among countless demons?
From the beginning, the role assigned to the chase team was not to subdue the White Faced Reaper.
Limiting his escape route.
‘The real beginning begins now.’
Shanxi (山西) was a very large area.
Even if the battle line built by the demon cultists collapsed, there were plenty of places for him to hide.
Therefore, he instructed Seo Ho-seon to form a pursuit team as quickly as possible.
In order to conduct a group hunt and limit the places where the White Faced Reaper can hide.
‘The opportunity Baek Li-seon had been longing for has come. I hope we get good results…’
* * *
Baek Ri-seon, a disciple of the evil spirit, closed his eyes and activated his senses.
Various noises reach your ears.
The others looked at him with bored expressions as he just stood still for a long time.
After about half an hour, he opened his eyes, and the sword master touched the sword soldier and asked.
“Is it really possible to find the White Faced Reaper this way?”
“yes.”
“I heard that the White-Faced Reaper is not only a master of disguise, but also a master of transmutation. “If he changed his voice…”
“Even if it were, you can tell them apart. No matter how great the talent the Hundred-faced Shinigami is, he cannot fool me or even his teacher’s ears.”
After Eum-gwi and Ak-yeo-ryeong joined Cheonan Gambu, Baek Ri-seon fell into despair for a while.
In order to get out of his teacher’s shadow, he resigned from his position as leader of Baekrangdae and moved to a different department.
In the end, when I had to eat one pot of rice again, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation.
[I want to become a member of Cheonan Gambu. Please accept me as your subordinate.]
[I just decided that it was time to leave Master’s embrace.]
[I often use the title of leader, but I am a person with only one mana in the current Baekrangdae. I know that fact better than anyone else.]

I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel disappointed.
Even though he knew his motivation for joining, he wanted to go to his teacher and complain about the Dragon King who had recruited him.
Of course, I knew it in my head.
Master is a high-quality human resource that cannot be compared to myself.
That he is a talent too precious to miss just because he is considerate of himself.
But emotions don’t necessarily follow reason.
I seriously thought about leaving Cheonan Gambu and looking for a new department.
However, in the end, I chose to remain in the department.
It was a waste of the bonds I had built with other club members, but more than that, it was because I had developed a relationship.
I once had such a conversation at a drinking party with Changin Dojang.
[I will overcome it.]
[What are you talking about out of nowhere?]
[I will definitely change my name, this disgusting beauty dragon, regardless of the Master’s shadow.]
[······Are you drunk?]
Was he overshadowed by his teacher and not properly evaluated by the world?
It was all just an excuse.
In the end, it was a problem that could be solved by proving one’s skills and building a track record that everyone recognized.
[First, we need to hone our own strengths. I will have my own characteristics like a Western warrior or Tang Sojeo.]
[You must be really drunk. It looks like he’s weaker at alcohol than he looks.]
Thinking calmly, it was impossible to catch up to Master’s level before the Great Demon War ended.
Although there were monsters who had already reached absolute heights even though they were the same age as him, he was not without conscience enough to compare himself with the greatest genius in the history of martial arts.
So, after much thought, I thoroughly delved into one martial art.
Cheonjicheongsul (千里地聽術).
Although it is impossible to raise the level of overall martial arts in a short period of time, it is a different story if you are mastering one special skill.
Now I can speak confidently.
It is said that he has reached a level where he is second to none even his teacher.
That was the reason why Baek Ri-seon was singled out as a key figure in the chase team chasing the Baek-faced Reaper.
‘The stage has finally been set for me to perform.’
Baek Li-seon’s face flushed slightly.
The teacher, Yin Gui, could not move away from the main camp.
It’s too much of a waste to have them join the pursuit team.
Her martial arts were the kind that demonstrated the greatest power on large-scale battlefields.
‘In a way, it’s like I came as a substitute for my teacher.’
In other words, it could be said that he was recognized as a talented person who could replace his teacher.
The opportunity I had been waiting for has come.
I will definitely find and subdue the White Faced Reaper and prove my worth.
“There are no white-faced reapers here. “We’d better get moving.”
“Sure.”
Seo Ho-seon nodded.
It was he who was currently leading the pursuit party.
Having received command from Yeonsun, he obediently followed Baek Ri-seon’s opinion, so the other members had no choice but to agree.
‘You look distrustful.’
Baek Li-seon looked at the reactions of the people around her and smiled bitterly.
Even members of Cheonan Gambu, who I have known for a long time, are questioning whether this method is really effective, but others are wondering.
If he had not been a disciple of the evil spirit, and if it had not been for the orders of the general commander, the Dragon King, a backlash would have erupted long ago.
‘Let’s not be shaken. In the end, all you have to do is prove your abilities.’
Baek Ri-seon, who had composed herself, walked after Seo Ho-seon.
After passing through Shanglu, Shaanxi Province, the chase team headed toward Weinan.

Googoo googung!
A huge pit was dug.
A thick cloud of dust engulfed the area.
A man wearing black long robes stood over the crushed body of Plum Blossom Swordsman and looked around.
“······.”
Everyone held their breath and waited for the man’s next move.
No one had the courage to rush towards the intruders.
Even the first disciples of the Hwasan Sect.
Even the poisonous people of the Tang family.
Even the plum blossom god sword and the poisonous ghost.
“That’s a lot.”
A low voice.
Tang Baek felt goosebumps rising on his back.
I heard it through rumors, but to be honest, I didn’t know it would be this bad.
When I saw it in person, I couldn’t shake the feeling.
How on earth were the Dragon King and the Thunder King able to face someone like this one on one?
‘This is no joke.’
The strength went into both hands holding the memorization book.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the man in front of me even for a moment.
I knew it instinctively.
A moment of inattention will lead to death.
Danmok-gun.
The supreme leader of the Demonic Cult.
A person who stands at the top of all magicians.
Late at night, a public enemy of the Baekdo martial arts group suddenly appeared alone in the middle of the Allied forces’ camp.
Chi-ik!
The ground turned black.
In the foggy Maggi, plants withered.
The sound of someone swallowing spit rang loudly.
“What are you doing?”
The blurred facial features gave a strange feeling to those who saw it.
Some people were so scared that they lost sight of their weapons and collapsed in place.
Plum God Sword and Hyeongun Dojang took a firm stance as if they had made up their minds.
“Aren’t you aiming for my neck?”
“······.”
“The main body has personally come to you. Are you going to just stare at me like this and do nothing?”
Hey!
Someone’s shout became a signal.
Hundreds of warriors rushed towards one person.
An eerie smile appeared on the corner of the Demon Lord’s mouth.
Phew!
The demonic energy that spewed out was not enough to fill the pit; it swallowed up all the warriors in the front lines at once.
Poison Demon and Sword Demon, who exchanged glances with each other, jumped into it at the same time.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
The screams echoed throughout the camp.
