Episode 147 Who on earth did you join hands with?
“I don’t like it.”
The evil Soma firmly refused.
“Do you dare to disobey the words of Sa-baek?”
Just by the fact that he said such shameless things while trying to kill the evil Soma by releasing the evildoers, you could tell what kind of person he was.
“What kind of mask is this!”
The shepherd took off his mask. A wrinkled old man appeared, and he was truly an ugly man. His face was a stark contrast to the handsome face of the evil soma I had seen before the regression.
“Take it off quickly!”
“I don’t like it.”
“Yeah, you always ignored me.”
It seems that the evil Soma did not have a bad relationship with his master. The reason he listens to Sa-baek’s words so obediently is probably because he is the master’s death row in terms of his personality.
“The moment the priest dies, you lose the right to wear that mask.”
“What does it mean?”
“When your master defends you, you are a white-faced person, but you are no longer a white-faced person. I will excommunicate you.”
The school that Extreme Evil Soma learned martial arts from was the Baekmyeonmun (白面門), a school of the Sapa lineage. After that, Extreme Evil Soma devoted himself to the Heavenly Demon Sect and became a Demon Lord. Becoming a Demon Lord was his master’s dream. Extreme Evil Soma fulfilled the dream that his master could not. I heard all these stories when I interacted with Extreme Evil Soma before his return.
“You can’t just kick me out like you want.”
“Shut up!”
The killing intent emanated from the body of the sheep. It was not a killing intent emitted to scare the opponent, but a killing intent filled with the determination to kill the opponent.
“Well, since you killed the Sword Emperor, I guess this Sa-baek has nothing to fear. When I first heard that you killed the Sword Emperor, I didn’t believe it. Or maybe there was something wrong with the Sword Emperor. But seeing that you came out unharmed, I guess there wasn’t something wrong with the Sword Emperor.”
Yet he showed no fear at all. It was clear that he had faith.
“You are four hundred, why do you want to kill Soma-nim?”
The evil Soma answered my question calmly.
“Sa-baek’s dream was to become the leader of the Apostles. He is resentful that he was unable to achieve that dream because of me.”
“Of course it’s because of you! My wish was shattered because of you. The Demon Lord and the Apostle Leader cannot coexist in the same sect!”
He blamed the evil Soma for his failure to become the Apostolic Leader. It was a long time ago, but it seems he has been harboring that resentment ever since.
“You couldn’t move when your master was alive, but now that he’s passed away, you’re like this.”
“Shut up! I only tolerated it because you were caught in the taboo and thrown into the cult. It has nothing to do with the priests!”
Yang Cheo-gi was a loser his whole life. When he was young, he also joined the Heavenly Demon Sect to become a Demon Lord, but he couldn’t adapt and was kicked out. He wanted to become the White-faced Master, but that position was inherited by the evil Soma Master. Finally, he couldn’t even achieve his wish to become the Apostle Leader. It was a life where he only dreamed of bigger dreams than his own abilities.
“That’s really bad.”
At my words, the evil soma and the sheep looked at me.
“Blaming others, trying to kill others by using them. You are so bad. How is it your fault that you are unhappy? It is your fault that you ruined your life by only blaming others.”
A cold murderous aura poured out of the sheep shepherd, but I said everything I wanted to say.
“Is it true that you were not able to become the leader of the Apostles because the Demon Lord came from the same sect? I think that is an excuse. If you had shown the qualities and abilities that fit the position, you would have definitely become the leader of the Apostles. Isn’t that an excuse that you made up?”
The sheep herder could not refute the claim.
“If you have such a narrow-minded mind, even if you had become the leader of the Apostolic Alliance, the Apostolic Alliance would have been ruined because of you. In the end, you would have been assassinated by someone within the Apostolic Alliance. Instead of resenting Soma-sama, you should be grateful. Follow along. Thank you for saving me. Soma-ya, thank you!”
The eyes of the shepherd were deeply sullen. I could sense the determination to kill me in his eyes. It seemed that there was something I said that hit the nail on the head.
I said, staring intently into those eyes that were trying hard to hide their shame.
“It’s not just because of that that you want to kill Soma-sama, is it?”
Yang Cheo-gi flinched at my words. The evil Soma standing next to me asked me.
“What does that mean?”
“Such a petty great man always puts his own interests first. He doesn’t risk his life for revenge. Who did he join hands with? What did he expect in return? Did he promise to make your last dream come true?”
The shepherd couldn’t deny what I said.
“That young one has a very sharp mouth. The future of the Demonic Cult is bright!”
His shame turned into anger and he turned it towards the evil Soma.
“You went to the Demonic Cult and became an extremely evil Soma, right? Let’s see how evil a person you really are.”
As the shepherd snapped his fingers to signal, those who had been hiding began to appear one by one. There were dozens of them, all wearing masks, and they were all disciples of the Baekmyeonmun.
“Now, go kill all the four sect members.”
I was shocked. I never thought he would come out like this.
These people were brought here not to kill us, but to harass the evil Soma. They were wearing masks, so I couldn’t tell how old they were, but judging from their prayers, there were many young masters among them.
What choice will the evil Soma make?
If they rush to kill us, I too will have no choice but to take action. Although they are part of the Sapha sect, they are disciples of the evil Soma. Can they kill as they please? And how will the evil Soma respond?
I glared at the shepherd. The absolute evil I am talking about is exactly those people. Those who have the evil intention of intentionally destroying someone’s heart, not through an inevitable choice, and those who sacrifice the disciples of the sect without any remorse. You will surely die by my hand.
Just then, the evil Soma spoke in a loud voice.
“Listen, my disciples, my brothers, my sisters, my siblings, and my great-great-grandchildren. Although I have left the main sect and have joined the new religion, I am still the disciple of the late former sect leader. The sect leader did not excommunicate me while I was alive, so as a direct disciple of the Baekmyeonmun, I command you all to step aside!”
The disciples of Baekmyeonmun looked at each other and exchanged glances.
The shepherd shouted.
“What are you guys doing? Kill me!”
The evil Soma shouted even louder.
“Yang Cheo-gi, the great sinner who manipulated the disciples of the Buddhist order for personal desires, will die here today. So step aside!”
“I told you to kill me!”
At that moment, someone blew a gust of wind.
Peeing.
The evil Soma twisted his body to avoid the blast. It was not intended to kill, but was a warning.
“execution!”
The evil Soma knew at a glance that the man who shot the wind was his own executioner.
“Did you recognize me?”
“I don’t know.”
The gazes of the two people entangled in the air were filled with memories and longing for their childhood.

“The executioner should take his disciples and go back.”
“I cannot disobey the orders of the Four Hundred.”
“Sa-baek has already abandoned the four gates. Can’t you see that he is joining hands with the evil gok to use the four gates and his disciples as swords?”
They knew what the situation was because they had heard everything I had told the shepherds earlier.
“There are only two outcomes to this fight. Either you fight me and die, or you kill us and the Celestial Demon Sect is destroyed. Is that what Sa-hyeong wants? To send everyone to their deaths?”
Although Yang Cheo-gi shouted for him to kill her quickly, the evil Soma and the man called Death Penalty just stared at each other without saying a word.
“That old man who tries to ruin the text by using distribution as a weapon will die by my hand. So don’t worry and go back. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
“I know. The priest was a man who kept his word.”
“See you next time, Death Penalty.”
The death sentence of the evil Soma shouted to the disciples.
“I’m going back!”
The disciples of Baek-Myeon-Mun followed him and flew towards him.
I was truly impressed by the calm response of the evil Soma. It was a moment where I saw a new side of him.
-Finishing it without any sacrifice. It was the coolest moment since I met Soma-sama.
―You thought it was cool that the evil Soma didn’t see any blood? That seems a bit awkward.
I thought that maybe he was changing after meeting me.
“Those damn bastards!”
The evil soma teased the angry sheep.
“I think I deserve the death penalty more than my master.”
“Shut up!”
I added my own comment to the irritated reaction from the shepherd.
“They came because they hated you. They must have followed orders to come here. They must have hated you so much that they listened to the words of Soma, who left the temple a long time ago. How could they not know that you are trying to drag your disciples to their deaths just because you are an elder in the temple? It would be better for you to just die here today.”
The shepherd made a mockery.
“I know you killed the Sword Emperor, but did you think I would be the only one to deal with you? You’ve kept me waiting for too long. Please come out now, you monster.”
Then, a person appeared from inside a building across the street. He was an old man who had not aged gracefully. His wrinkles were full of malice, and his eyes were filled with murder.
I was startled by the word ‘monster’.
Although he had mastered magic, he was a magician who did not belong to the main school.
He was a famous figure who committed massacres using magic, and eventually the school and the Murim Alliance formed an assassination squad to kill him. After that, he disappeared without a trace, but has reappeared today.
I asked the shepherd.
“Who on earth are you holding hands with? Who are you holding hands with that even a monster is coming out?”
But before I could hear the answer, the monster stepped forward with a cold look in his eyes.
“Stand out? That bastard has a bad habit of talking. Is that what your father taught you?”
In this situation, you mention your parents? My father at that?
“Because old people act shamelessly like this, there is less and less room for old masters in the martial arts world. You came out to kill us and now you expect courtesy? Alright, from now on I will show you all the courtesy. I greet you, senior. Please cherish our relationship as fellow minions and spare this young junior! Okay, will you spare me?”
The monster couldn’t answer and just twitched one of his eyes.
“So, please stop talking nonsense about manners and etiquette. Where did you come from all of a sudden to start talking nonsense?”
I deliberately provoked him strongly. They were here to kill us anyway. So the more I provoke him, the better it is for the fight. In a fight between two masters, if emotions get involved, it is always a loss. The reason he got angry by mentioning his father is probably because of that context.
The shepherd said to the goblin.
“You can break all my bones, but still, try to leave me with such arrogance.”
“It’s annoying. Take a good look at it in advance. It will disappear without a trace in a little while.”
Even though they had poor personalities, both of them were on par with the Sword Emperor Baek Mang-gi in terms of martial arts. It might be okay if they were fighting one person, but fighting two of them was not an easy task.
It was just then.
Rumble, rumble.
The sound of chains was heard from somewhere.
I looked back and saw a man of sturdy build, with a bloody chain wrapped around his wrist and dragging it down.
“Iron Chainer!”
He was a villain known as the Iron Chain, and once brought terror to the martial arts world. I don’t know how many masters lost their lives to his red chains, bursting from their bodies. His momentum was no less than that of the monsters that had appeared before.
His appearance made my heart sink. It wasn’t easy to deal with the two before. Now that Iron Chains has appeared, the situation is absolutely unfavorable.
I sighed and said to the evil Soma.
“It’s all my fault.”
“What does it mean?”
“The Bloodthirsty Elder said that I would stir up trouble and awaken all the hidden masters. I really didn’t know that I would meet the demon and the iron chain here.”
“This time, it seems like I woke him up, not the engineer.”
“Then, Soma-nim, please take the stronger side.”
Even in this situation, the two eyes under the mask smiled at me, not forgetting to joke. It was the worst situation, but I felt strangely reassured by the thought that I was with the evil Soma.
“Oh, before that, I should ask this first.”
I said, looking at the sheep.
“Which side will you join and join the attack?”
Of course, it was a remark made with the intention of preventing him from joining forces.
The shepherd laughed leisurely.
“Even if you don’t hurt my pride like that, I won’t come forward. Now, take good care of our Lee Gongja’s face and body. He’ll soon turn into a blood clot and disappear.”
Since the monster was trying to deal with me, the ultimate evil Soma’s opponent naturally became Iron Chains.
I thought it was good. Both the Goblin and the Iron Chainer were strong opponents, but I expected the Goblin to be a bit stronger.
I looked at the evil Soma.
I didn’t ask if he was confident. That would have been ignoring the evil Soma. I remained relaxed until the very end.
“Let’s make a bet to see who dies first.”
At my words, the monster laughed. The iron chain laughed, and the sheep laughed.
“I don’t know why they are laughing when Soma-sama is just here.”
Only then did the evil Soma laugh, and finally I laughed too.
As I drew my sword and let it hang, the evil Soma lightly flicked the black magic sword’s blade with his finger.
Teeing!
Hearing the clear, sharp sound of the extremely evil Soma’s heart telling him to fight well, I walked forward toward the most difficult fight since my return.
