Episode 101 Only visible to my eyes.
Cheongmyeon chose the fastest route to Baekgyesangdan. As a result, he had no choice but to avoid camping.
Hunting for dinner, building a campfire, Ian was busy doing this and that, but I couldn’t stand it anymore and finally got involved.
“If you want to make a campfire burn well, you have to arrange the wood like this.”
Surprisingly, Ian had never lit a campfire before, since this was his first time away from his home school.
“Okay, this time I’ll teach you how to prepare meat.”
I skillfully prepared the pheasants and rabbits I had hunted.
“Your Majesty, you are really good at it. When did you learn it all?”
“I’m good with my hands, aren’t I?”
The evil soma, leaning against the carriage wheel, was silently looking at us. Cheongmyeon was standing a little way away from him, guarding the evil soma.
I put the trimmed meat on a branch and started roasting it over the campfire.
“Watch carefully so that it doesn’t burn. Even if you miss the assassin, you must not burn the meat!”
“yes!”
Ian grilled meat diligently, finding it fun.
I sincerely hoped that this moment would be a good memory for her, who was extremely nervous because of the evil soma and the blue mask. After all, it was her first trip.
After I finished grilling the meat, I offered it to the evil Soma.
“Let’s eat together.”
“I am done.”
“Aren’t you going to the market?”
“it’s okay.”
After Ian cut the meat, he spread salt and seasoning on it, wrapped it in paper, and gave it to each of the evil soma and Cheongmyeon.
“You can save it and eat it later.”
She returned after handing the meat to both men.
Although she was extremely afraid of the evil Soma, she still took care of what needed to be taken care of.
“Then we will eat first.”
Ian and I cut the meat and ate it.
I also drank the alcohol I bought when I stopped by the village.
“I’m OK.”
Even when I asked him to have a drink, Ian strongly refused. It seems he really didn’t want to imagine getting drunk in front of the evil Soma.
The evil Soma, who was watching the scene, suddenly spoke.
“No matter how I look at it, it’s not pretty. What on earth is pretty about it?”
For a moment, Ian flinched. Just by hearing those words, Ian would know what kind of conversation was going on between me and the evil Soma.
It was rude to her, but it was also for my benefit. It was like letting her know that she said I was pretty.
Instead of answering, I looked into the darkness far away.
“Hey, do you see the weasel under the rock thirty feet away?”
Not only the evil Soma, but even Ian and Cheongmyeon looked at the place I pointed, but all they saw was pitch-black darkness.
“If you don’t believe me, check it out.”
The evil soma winked at Cheongmyeon. Cheongmyeon flew towards it.
After a while, Cheongmyeon returned holding a weasel.
The evil Soma was surprised.
“Did you really see that?”
“I see things that Soma-nim cannot see.”
Of course, it is not because of that, but because the training of Ki-Bal-Chul, which I learned from my father, had reached a certain level that I was able to realize it.
“The beauty of my escort is visible only to my eyes.”
Ian quickly shook his head to tell her not to say that, then lowered his head as if embarrassed.
The evil Soma said with a mocking laugh.
“It’s so shameful for a man like you to say such embarrassing things.”
“You have to say what you want to say. You don’t say it because you’re embarrassed. You don’t say it because you’ve already said it once. You don’t say it because you’re worried it’ll be burdensome if you keep saying it. You don’t say it because you’re busy. You don’t say it because you think it doesn’t exist.”
The last thing he said was that he was afraid of not being able to see anything. He said that he didn’t see anything when he was eating under his mask.
“Isn’t a man a man who speaks his mind?”
Then she looked at Ian. Her face was burning red as she lowered her head, either because of the campfire or because she was embarrassed.
Be strong, Ian!
My life wouldn’t have even begun without you.

Two days later, the carriage arrived at Baekgyesangdan.
As I got off the carriage, the evil Soma asked me.
“Are you done worrying about how to stop me?”
“The answer wasn’t in the carriage, nor in my head. I had to find the answer within myself.”
I looked up at the large signboard at Baekgyesangdan.
Cheongmyeon and Ian took the lead, and Geukaksoma and I followed behind.
I wore a mask here too. It was convenient to wear a mask while walking around with the evil Soma. If I wore it alone, it would be too noticeable, but since there were three of them, I thought they were the ones who usually wore masks.
When Cheongmyeon knocked on the door, a man who looked like a butler opened the door.
It was surprising to see us wearing masks, but he acted calmly as if he had expected us to come.
“Your Majesty is waiting. Please go.”
Then I thought there would be hundreds of unmanned personnel waiting in the training grounds, but there was no one there.
I unleashed my energy and looked around, but there wasn’t a single ambush. It was a wise choice. If I had foolishly provoked the evil soma, I would have only caused unnecessary casualties.
The man guided us into the main hall.
There were nine people waiting for us there.

First, the head of this place greeted us.
“I am Seo Jeong-tae, the head of the Baekgye Sangdan.”
“It’s extremely evil.”
The evil Soma treated Seong-tae with the utmost coldness. He originally did not like Saphain, so how much more unpleasant must Seong-tae look in front of him now?
“It is an honor to meet the Demon Lord of the New Religion.”
On the other hand, Seong-tae was polite. He was calm and relaxed, and he was not afraid of the evil Soma. It was obvious that the reason was because of the eight masters lined up behind him. They also explained why there were no other warriors.
All eight masters wore bamboo hats covering their faces, and as if to prevent unnecessary conflict, they were wearing clothing that could identify them. On their chests were drawn wolves with their mouths wide open and fangs sharp.
The ferocious wolves of the Apostolic Alliance, who can tear apart even a tiger and kill a person.
They were the absolute masters of the Apostolic Alliance, the Thirteen Wolves of the Evil Path, who could take on a single Demon Lord if two of them gathered together. There were a total of eight of them.
Even though the evil Soma recognized them, he wasn’t afraid at all.
Rather, he took control of his surroundings by exuding a subtle malice.
When that evil spirit affected Seong-tae, the other person did not just sit by and do nothing.
The eight masters all uttered a prayer as if they had made a promise. The frauds instantly pushed away their evil spirits and built a wall in front of Seong Jeong-tae. Their frauds were rough yet orderly. They complemented each other without seeming to be entangled, and showed off an impregnable momentum.
A battle of pride has begun.
Even though he pushed forward with a wicked mind, the wall of fraud pushed forward instead. No matter how evil the evil spirit was, he could not handle the internal energy of the eight apostles and thirteen wives.
I didn’t want to see the evil Soma being pushed around by the Apostle Alliance’s unmanned forces, so I secretly unleashed my magic.
As my magnificent internal energy was added to the evil spirit, the two sides’ struggle became a tense standoff.
When the evil soma was not pushed back, they pushed back with even stronger internal energy, but I raised my martial arts even further and pushed inward instead.
At that moment, when they were getting angry and trying to raise their internal energy even further.
Going any further would not be easy for us either, so the evil Soma and I gathered our magic at the same time as if we had made a promise.
The evil Soma won a perfect victory in the battle of wits after winning for a while. Indeed, he felt annoyed by the eight masters.
The evil Soma sent a telegram.
―This is the first time I realized that the internal energy of a scholar is so profound.
– It must be because you have such a great sense of humor. My magic was just a distraction.
―If you try to interfere twice, those packs of dogs will start wagging their tails. As expected, it was Lee Gong-ja who killed the Demon Lord.
―Soma-sama, look ahead and not at me. Our enemy is not here, but nine in front of you.
The gaze of the evil soma turned to the top leader, Seo Jeong-tae, who had first greeted him.
“You seem to have been waiting for me, so I guess you know why I came. You should be careful with what you say.”
“If you, Amazon, want my life, I will gladly give it to you, but please at least listen to what I have to say.”
“I’m listening, so do it.”
“Let me get straight to the point. This company intends to grow its business in Guizhou for the next eight years. And in the eighth year, we will close all our businesses and step down.”
Two years had already passed, and if we add eight more years, in other words, the Apostolic Alliance would make money by doing business in Guizhou for ten years, taking responsibility for the past massacre.
“You want to feed on my flesh and blood for ten years?”
“Those killed by the Amazons have already rotted away in blood and flesh and turned into white bones.”
Although he was full of discontent, the evil Soma did not act rashly. It was not only because of the eight apostles and thirteen wives.
He was not a careless person when it came to handling affairs. This can be seen from the fact that after leaving the school, instead of expressing his desires, he went straight to meeting the upper class.
After a while, the evil Soma spoke to Seong Tae.
“You are also part of the organization, so it is fine. I will yield. From this moment today, it will be exactly one year. If you are still wandering around Guizhou and doing business after a year, then I will consider it as you wanting to go see your friends who have become skeletons.”
Despite the blatant threats, Seo Jeong-tae firmly shook his head.
“One year is absolutely unacceptable.”
“Then let’s decide by having a showdown between unmanned and unmanned. If you’re scared, you can all come together.”
The evil Soma knew. The Thirteen Apostles were also proud people, so they wouldn’t attack all at once.
Seong-tae seemed lost in thought, but I could tell through my Shinan technique that his lips were trembling slightly. He was having a conversation with one of the eight masters behind him through telephony.
At that time, the evil Soma also sent a message to me.
– You must be disappointed. We should have had a go at it.
―Disappointed? Seeing Soma-nim negotiate with the Apostolic Alliance people in person? This is an experience you will never have in your life. This is a hundred times more thrilling than fighting them. If this world you see now is trivial, then the original world must have been a sleeping world.
The evil Soma laughed loudly. It was the first time I heard the evil Soma laugh loudly, but it felt different.
-What if they don’t accept it?
―I guess I’ll have to kill them all and lock them up for ten years. Take three, I’ll take four. Cheongmyeon and Ugly Heart will take the remaining one.
I laughed out loud too. Of course, the idea of fighting was a joke, but it wasn’t the joke that was funny, it was the fact that he called Ian with an ugly heart that was funny. He’s secretly a bitter person.
At that time, Seo Jeong-tae spoke firmly.
“Absolutely not.”
Of course I knew it would turn out like that. Enough with the unnecessary emotional fight. Now is the time for me to step forward.
“I would like to hear it directly from the person who made the decision that it was impossible.”
As I, who had been silent until then, stepped forward, everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
“What do you mean? Who are you to take on this important position?”
At Seong Jeong-tae’s question, my gaze turned to one of the men standing behind me.
“Stop being the secret leader and step forward to sort things out.”
The person I was talking about was the man standing in the middle of the eight unmanned people.
“You probably know the nature of the evil soma, so it wouldn’t be strange if something happened here. Are you okay? If the successor of the Apostolic Alliance gets caught up in a fight and dies in a place like this?”
At my words, not only the evil Soma, but even Ian and Cheongmyeon were shocked.
Chaang!
Seven people, excluding the man who was pointed out, drew their swords and prepared for battle. It was a check to protect the man.
As expected of the peerless masters, they displayed tremendous momentum. The aura was incomparably stronger than when they had previously erected the wall of fraud. In terms of the school, it was almost as if the four Amazons were protecting the man.
The man standing in the middle of the examination slowly took off his mask. He was a young man with scars all over his face. If Jang-ho’s scars were cool, this man’s scars were hideous.
It had a look that was so bruised and distorted that it made your heart shiver just by looking at it, and its atmosphere and energy were also dark and heavy. And in the midst of it all, a cold gaze shone through.
“How did you recognize me?”
His voice sounded like nails scraping against metal, as if his vocal cords had been injured.
He was none other than the official successor of the Apostolic Alliance, Bisain. Since he was wearing the same clothes as the Thirteen Apostolic Rangs, recognizing him was tantamount to revealing a secret.
“Who are you?”
I answered Visain’s cold question.
“You are the kind of person who would be a problem whether you die or not, but would also be a problem whether I die or not.”
I said, pulling the mask over my head.
“Nice to meet you. I am Cheonma’s second son, Geommugeuk.”
