The moment Dalyurama saw the ferocious smile on the blood vessel’s lips, he felt a chill running down his spine.
‘What the hell is this guy?’
different. It was clearly different.
There was something about that man in front of me that stimulated the primal fear that every human being harbors.
The deep, abyss-like darkness that even he himself, the ruler of the vast island, could not help but feel eerie about.
Predator.
With those three letters suddenly flashing through her mind, Daleurama opened her trembling lips.
Before he knew it, he was looking at the disciples in the dark heaven who had surrounded him and the Twelve Secret Monks.
“Binseung… … “I must have been rude.”
I forgot about it for a while.
What kind of person is Hyeolju? Who is behind him?
However, the moment he revealed the teeth he had hidden a little while ago, Daleurama finally realized the reality he had forgotten.
Who is the weak and who is the strong?
If an irreversible conflict breaks out at this point, which side will be the one to be eaten?
Therefore, the king of the religious country ruled by Seojang had no choice but to slowly bow his head.
“I swear that I had no intention of insulting the Lord’s favorite person. However, because my feelings were complicated, I made a mistake… … .”
“It was a mistake.”
Hyeolju cut off Daleurama’s words and licked his lips with his red tongue.
Like a wild beast looking at its prey and savoring it.
And then he smiled brightly at Daleurama.
“I understand. In life, everyone is bound to make mistakes. “At least once.”
The meaning of Hyeolju’s soft afterword was clear.
once. Just once.
I will not tolerate a second mistake.
However, Daleurama had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the contrasting attitude and the engineering school that returned to its usual routine as if it had never happened before.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Uh huh, there’s no need to be this polite. “Aren’t we comrades who will pursue a great cause together?”
“… … “You are absolutely correct.”
Of course, Daleurama did not know how meaningless the words that reached her ears were.
Decades ago from now, when Heaven took hold of his outstretched hand, his superiority in power had already been determined.
That current attitude is a magnanimity that only the strong can show, and it is a carrot thrown out as a courtesy after one whipping.
But before we knew it, there was only one option in front of Daleurama and Podalap Palace.
Everything must be acknowledged and accepted.
Only then will we be able to avenge the old grudges of our ancestors and further survive in the new world that will be ruled by Amcheon in the future.
“This palace will do its best. So that I can repay in some small way the grace that God has bestowed upon me. but… … .”
“but?”
At that moment, when the blood lord’s eyebrows twitched, Daleurama added in a deep voice.
“I believe you will definitely keep your promise.”
Hyeolju, who was staring penetratingly at Dalleuma, clicked his tongue.
“I was wondering what you were talking about… … Don’t worry. “The lifeblood of Yeolhwamun will be cut off right here in Seonyeong.”
“I don’t doubt you, but wouldn’t it be possible for them to escape Xining and flee to the central plains before the Green Forest Alliance and the Yangtze River Alliance completely blockade the rear?”
“getaway? Did you say run away now? “The Hwawang and Jin Tae-kyung, and no one else?”
Before Dalleuma could respond, the blood lord laughed loudly and continued.
“The palace lord hates Yeolhwamun more than anyone else, but he knows nothing about them.”
“I think that with just a small number of people, especially those two, the possibilities are high. “Even if we are the squires of the Yeolhwamun who cannot discern heaven and earth, wouldn’t we be able to plan for the future in our present age?”
That is correct.
If it were only a very small number of people, not tens of thousands of troops or hundreds of thousands of people crouching in Seonyeong.
And if it were none other than the Fire King Jeok Cheongang and the Fire God Dragon Jin Tae-gyeong, they could escape to the rear right now and tear up the siege net.
However, despite Daleurama’s concerns, Hyeolju couldn’t help but laugh even louder.
“It’s impossible. never.”
“What is your basis for thinking that?”
“Don’t you know? Even though the palace lord himself said it a moment ago.”
“What is that?”
At that moment when Dalleuma expressed his doubts, Hyeolju suddenly stopped laughing and opened his mouth in a cracked voice.
“You idiots who can’t even tell the difference between heaven and earth. Because that is Yeolhwamun.”
“… … !”
“Whether they are teachers or students, they are all servants who do not know how precious their lives are. Moreover, if there are tens of thousands of allies and hundreds of thousands of civilians left… … “There is no need to say anything.”
If those two people had wanted to plan the future, they would not have been in Seonyeong by now.
No, not even all of his actions before that existed.
Once he gets angry, he will attack his opponent even if he is the Jade Emperor rather than a demonic cult, and even in the face of a life-or-death crisis, if there is something he must protect, he will definitely protect it.
Even though it may be ridiculed by someone like Hyeolju as being an asshole rather than a cooperative act, that was Yeolhwamun.
“For the last time, I will tell you, they will never escape Xining. “I bet my neck on it.”
With an answer more confident than ever, Hyeolju suddenly remembered.
A year ago, in the blood-covered valley of Seongsan Mountain, the pitiful sight of the one-day puppy that dared to confront him.
And today, here, I saw the fire in the eyes of a young beast that I could no longer call a one-day puppy.
Only then did I know for sure.
What kind of guy is Jin Tae-kyung, the Fire Divine Dragon?
At the same time, I decided.

Even if it means going against the Lord’s orders, I decided to kill him and get rid of Huhwan.
‘It doesn’t matter if, just in case, someone else in there pulls him out.’
Farmers who are worried about their crops being swept away by rainwater keep a close eye on the sky, but others only realize that dark clouds have gathered after feeling the raindrops falling on their heads.
The peace that lasted for over fifty years was long, and the slowly approaching dark clouds were already above them.
A long time ago, the dark sword of fortune hidden deep inside them is digging into their flesh, so much so that they don’t even notice it until this very moment.
‘The moment a signal comes from within, they rush in and finish it all at once.’
Hyeolju smiled vaguely and suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the dark sky, raindrops were falling one by one, heralding an unprecedented downpour.
A harbinger of a storm that will sweep away everything in Cheonghae City.
* * *
Tuk. Fighting.
I thought as I felt the raindrops that suddenly began to fall and wet the top of my head.
‘For a celebration of victory, it’s extremely damp.’
Although it was an unplanned and fierce battle, the results achieved by our troops were significant compared to that short period of time.
By estimate, he defeated hundreds of enemies, including a black ghost that was reduced to ash after being swept away by Jeokcheongang’s full-strength blow.
‘Of course, even that is only part of it.’
With the thoughts in my heart that I could not bear to say out loud, I stared at the great army painted black beyond the castle walls.
Hundreds decreased, but thousands increased.
The weight of the force, which was as close to horizontal as a fingernail, was tilted even more than before due to the addition of Podalapgung.
And the weight of that massive force was weighing down a corner of everyone’s hearts, including mine.
“perhaps… … “We may have already missed the right time.”
Looking at the enemies who were building an increasingly solid and airtight siege, he spoke in a voice with a heavy voice.
“It was a step I had already taken, I should have finished it before Podalapgung joined. “If that were the case, there would have been a slight chance of victory.”
At that one word that pointed out the reality that everyone was feeling, one person who had been silent with his arms crossed suddenly opened his mouth.
“Even so, if we eliminate all the leadership under cover of darkness, there is a good chance of victory.”
If Hyuk Mujin had said something like that, they would have hung him upside down and thrown him over the castle wall, but fortunately, such a regrettable situation did not happen.
Because these words came from the mouth of Salsu, who is known as the best of all time, and not from anyone else.
But unlike other people who were waiting for his words with expectant eyes, I shook my head without hesitation.
“Absolutely not.”
Salseong questioned.
“Why are you opposed?”
“Can I be honest with you?”
“When wasn’t it? “Tell me.”
“It’s simple. “If you go, you will only end up dead.”
“… … !”
In an instant, the atmosphere calmed down, and Salseong stared at me with deep eyes.
“It’s more than honest, it’s closer to provocation.”
“It is true that pranks are a hobby and provocation is a specialty, but this does not apply to allies in the same boat. “You already know, right?”
“I felt something while dealing with them in person a little while ago. “If I step forward, there is a possibility.”
“How likely is that?”
“Do your job.”
Salseong, who answered without considering the slim probability, added while looking at the rain that was getting thicker by the minute.
“If heaven gives me strength, I will do this.”
“Is that all it takes?”
“It’s just that much. “If you think about what you will gain if you succeed, this one life is enough for you.”
That is correct.
But despite that, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“If I could at least gain something, I wouldn’t have bothered to use the expression ‘dog death.’”
“Now that my existence is known, I fully expect them to prepare. Maybe we could appoint all the remaining dark ghosts as guards.”
“I know. “You also took many other situations into consideration.”
“Then why?”
“Well, it’s simple.”
Obviously, this answer wasn’t mine.
Jeokcheongang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly opened his mouth and continued speaking, receiving everyone’s attention.
“Hex, no, magic. When it comes to that damn thing, the greatest expert of all time would be no different from being deaf and blind. “Am I wrong?”
I nodded.
No, to be precise, before I could even nod, Jeokcheongang’s hand grabbed my shoulder and I had to take a step back.
And before I could ask the reason for that action, I had no choice but to close my mouth as a soft sound penetrated my ears.
– So, you’re not going to talk until the end?
With deeply sunken eyes, Jeokcheongang stared at me.
– At the last moment, what kind of bullshit did that bloody guy say?
