In the midst of the 250th heat.
Eight demons stood in a row, looking at the sword dance. All the demons gathered here focused on his movements.
The first thing Geommugeuk did was walk towards Hyeolcheon Doma.
“Your Majesty.”
“Young leader.”
The gaze of the swordsman looking at the bloody sword was hot.
“It is all thanks to you that I was able to become your successor.”
The sword dance was performed with great fanfare, praising the Bloodthirsty Demon in front of all the people.
Then, the demons standing behind them all shouted and unleashed their magic energy. If the Heavenly Horse had not been there, they would have shouted, “Blood Heaven! Blood Heaven!”
The Sword Dance Theater looked at them with a good feeling. Thanks to these violent and rough guys, he was able to achieve the final stage of the Heavenly Vein Strengthening Technique, and thanks to that, he was able to achieve the invincibility of all poisons.
‘Thank you, demons!’
It might be surprising to hear this, but the Geommugeuk thought they were cute.
Geommugeuk paid tribute to Hyeolcheondoma and conveyed his feelings.
“Respect, sir!”
It was a sincere word. He was the first person to become my person and the one who gave me everything without holding back.
“It’s all thanks to the great abilities of the young sect leader. What could this old man have done?”
“Please continue to lead me well in the future.”
Because it was a formal occasion, the two greeted each other politely.
Of course, this was not a sword dance that would just pass by. The message was delivered in a tone of speech that was completely different from his usual calm and gentle tone.
– Sir, let’s drink later! Let’s have a big celebration party! By the way, is it okay for the young master to lie down on the bed without washing?
The unchanging nursery rhyme of the sword dance was so welcome to the Bloodthirsty Horse.
Yes, even if he was not a minor cult leader but a Heavenly Demon, Hyeolcheondoma knew that he would be like this. It must be because of that personality that he fell so deeply for Geommugeuk.
– Concentrate. You’ll get scolded by the leader for messing around!
Next, I walked towards Ilhwageomjeon who was standing next to me.
“Your Majesty the Sword.”
“Young leader.”
“I ask that you continue to teach me a lot in the future. Thanks to you, my swordsmanship skills have improved a lot.”
Ilhwageomjon was inwardly embarrassed. The secret fight he had with Geommugeuk was not something that deserved such an evaluation. He had even lost the secret fight. He was saving face in front of his subordinates.
Indeed, the expressions of the demon swordsmen brightened and they also shouted and unleashed their magical energy.
He tried to shout louder than the demons before and to release more magical energy.
Even today, the demons and the demons were waging a war of nerves in this place.
Ilhwageomjon said with a smile.
“The talent of the little sect leader in the field of learning was a gift from heaven, so my help would have been insignificant.”
“Your words are very humble. Please continue to lead me well.”
“Okay.”
Next, I stood in front of Kwonma.
Geommugeuk knows the deep emotion hidden in that scary face. That’s why he knows how powerful that person’s honest blow is.
Geommu-geuk was sincere in saying that he wanted to knock down the cliff, but he also wanted to help Kwon-ma knock down the cliff. He wanted to make his dream come true.
“Master.”
“Little Leader, now that I have become a precious person, I think I should step down as your master.”
“I learned life from Master’s fist. No matter what position I attain, Master is my Master.”
A pleasant smile appeared on Kwonma’s scary face as he meant to serve him as his master even if he became a heavenly demon.
Then the Iron Fists also shouted. Especially those who had learned martial arts along with sword dance.
Since they had developed feelings for Geommu-geuk during their training, they sincerely congratulated Geommu-geuk on becoming the new leader. Among the black fists standing at the front was Cheon So-hee.
This time I stood in front of the Subhonmazon.
I felt sorry for not being able to take care of Cheongseon separately, as I had to take care of other demons and fight enemies after leaving the school.
“Amazon.”
“Your Majesty.”
Fortunately, there was no disappointment in her expression. Rather, she was more friendly than anyone else.
She knew very well that she would not have been able to ascend to the position of Demon Lord if it were not for the Sword Dance. Furthermore, the Fengchun Sect Master who taught her martial arts was also connected to her because of the Sword Dance. Therefore, she had a desire to become strong as soon as possible and repay that debt.
The sword dance was properly performed just like the previous demons.
“The people of the martial arts world say that the most fearsome person in our school is the Demon Lord Seophon. Please continue to be the most fearsome sword of our school!”
“Please help me a lot, Young Master!”
The sorcerers unleashed their ghostly aura all at once. The ghostly aura spread out in all directions, causing the torches held by the minions to sway as if the wind was blowing. There was an ominous atmosphere that made it seem like a ghost would appear at any moment.
Next, I stood in front of the horse.
Chwima looked at Geommugeuk with a flushed face.
“Your Majesty.”
“Young leader.”
“Learning about drinking from Master Chwima and learning about martial arts was a great help to me. I ask for your continued support.”
At the same time, the sword dance sent out a telegram.
-I want to call you hyung.
-I want to call you “Auya.”
-Shall I confirm it?
– Arthur. If you do that, I will be properly punished by the cult leader.
Unlike the playful exchange of words, Chwima spoke calmly and sternly.
“Come anytime. There will always be drinks ready for the new leader. Now, drink this to celebrate becoming the new leader.”
As the drunkard drank the wine he had on his waist, the guests standing behind him also drank their wines at the same time. The intoxication they exhaled mixed with the magic and ghostly spirits and swirled around. The atmosphere became more and more intense.
Next was Mabul.

The Amazon I feel most sorry about here today is him.
“Congratulations, Young Master.”
He was calm. He was not so foolish as to blame the Archduke for not being a good leader for the Geommu-geuk.
“thank you.”
“The future of our church depends on the leader of the school, so I hope you never forget that.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Mabul’s gaze turned to Geommuyang over Geommu-geuk’s shoulder. He could feel his concern for Geommuyang.
“We, the monks, will pray for the future of the young sect.”
As soon as Ma-bul finished speaking, the monks all began to chant Buddhist chants and pray for the future of Geommu-geuk.
I knew Geommu-geuk. At least Ma-bul would be praying for Geommu-yang.
‘Please protect your brother until the end, Mabul.’
That was the honest feeling of the sword dance.
This time, Geommu-geuk stood in front of the Poison King. When he saw the Poison King, his heart felt at ease and he smiled. Before he knew it, the Poison King had become such a pleasant person to him.
“Your Majesty the Poison King.”
“Young leader.”
“Thanks to the teachings at Cheon Dok Rim, I have been able to avoid the danger of poisoning in the future. Thank you.”
“You are naturally strong against poison, so if you just listen to what I say, you won’t die from poison.”
The message was immediately relayed to the Poison King.
―Thanks to you playing with me that day, I became a small group leader.
-If you’re grateful, let’s make a bet to find another poisonous plant.
Although the sword dance was pretending to lower its voice.
-I am a junior cult leader. I am different from the gatherer, Gongja Lee.
-Come and clean up too.
Of course, it didn’t work on the Poison King.
The eyes of the Poison King looking at the sword dance shone clearly.
‘With this, you’ve taken one step further towards the person you’re dealing with.’
Finally, the sword dance stands before the last demon lord.
The evil Soma was wearing a colorful mask.
“Your Majesty.”
“Young leader.”
The two stared at each other in silence. Just by looking at the evil Soma’s eyes behind the mask, you could tell how happy he was.
The Sword Dance Theater made me think that it was such a great fortune to have met someone I could trust so deeply in this world.
“The mask is cool.”
“This is the mask worn when attending a celebratory party. It is the perfect mask for this occasion.”
The two eyes of the evil soma in the eye sockets were smiling.
The sword dance no longer needed to examine the true meaning of his laughter, because at least to him, that was all he could see.
“I look forward to the day when we can go out to fight again.”
“I will wait too.”
After finishing his speech, the evil Soma laughed loudly. Then, the maskless guests standing behind him all laughed along with him. It was a bizarre laugh. It was the maskless guests’ way of congratulating the ascension of the cult leader.
There, the laughter of the innocent guests spread, the ghostly aura of the sorcerers swirled in all directions, and the sound of chanting along with the fierce magic energies resonated.
They weren’t the only ones who took advantage of the Geommu Theater.
The gaze of the sword dance was directed not to the men of Palma, but to the warriors belonging to the Cheonmajeon.
In the distance, I could see the figure of the Demon Lord Jangho. They are directly under the Heavenly Demon and will be the first to fly if something happens.
He politely gave a round of applause to Jangho. The cheers of the demons added to the excitement.
He also expressed his gratitude to the investigators and executors of the Hwangcheon Pavilion by giving them a round of applause. They also congratulated him with loud cheers. Seo Dae-ryong stood among the investigators, smiling brightly.
-Congratulations, Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty!
-I’ll just trust my right arm and go!
-Please trust other body parts too!
He smiled pleasantly and politely bowed to the heads of other organizations. The cheering reached its peak.
And finally, the sword dance found one person. One person who could not be hidden even in a crowd of people. Ian’s eyes met those of the people standing among the mines.
-You look prettier today?
―Since this is a place where all the minds gather, I’m going to try to seduce someone who is young and handsome.
-All the guys here combined won’t be enough.
-Don’t say that. What did I say?
-No, not you. I can’t do it.
She laughed. I really liked the sword dance that didn’t change even after becoming a cult leader.
-Congratulations, Your Highness.
-It’s thanks to you protecting me.
She probably doesn’t even know in her dreams that this moment exists because she really threw herself into it.
With everyone’s congratulations, the sword dance came up to the stage. There were still people left to express their gratitude to.
This time, Geommu-geuk went to General Sima Ming and greeted him.
“Sir.”
“Congratulations, Young Master.”
Sima Ming watched the process of Geommu Geuk rising to this position more closely than anyone else. He was worried because he was so outstanding. And he was also anxious because he was unpredictable. He could not have imagined that he would say such a thing right now.
“Now that I’ve become a young cult leader, please teach me how to play baduk without telling my father.”
Sima Ming smiled at the words of Geommu Geuk.
“That would be difficult.”
“Your Majesty, you don’t want me to win!”
“I only wish for peace in our school. If it weren’t for Baduk, Tongcheon-gak would always help the young leader.”
After exchanging pleasant greetings with Sima Ming, Geommu-geuk went to Geommu-yang, who was standing there alone.
Isn’t that the most uncomfortable person in this place? Everything you see in front of you could have been yours. How regrettable.
“Brother, I only trust you.”
If it were just the two of us, I would have yelled, “You crazy bastard, stop!” but I couldn’t do that now.
“Please take care of our school.”
Geommugeuk suddenly hugged Geommuyang.
-it’s crazy?
– You’re the crazy one, hyung. You gave me this good spot.
-Get off me, you crazy bastard!
A cheer erupted at the sight of the two men. They had kept their promise to fight for succession without shedding blood.
Geommugeuk stood before his father for the last time.
“father.”
Geom Woo-jin walked forward with Geom Mu-geuk.
As the two stood side by side, cheers erupted.
Just standing together like this gave Geommu-geuk tremendous strength. He was a small cult leader that Cheonma clearly acknowledged.
The late-night announcement of the successor ended amid cheers that seemed like they would go on forever.
* * *
The black sheep was walking alone.
The atmosphere throughout the school was bustling and truly festive.
I would like to put on a good face and get swept up in the atmosphere, but it wasn’t easy.
Her role ends here. It’s the supporting role that hugs the main character on stage.
I was walking slowly, looking down at the ground, when someone called out from behind me.
“Muyang-ah.”
When I looked back, it was my father.
“…father.”
Geum Woo-jin spoke to him in a soft tone.
“Let’s eat together.”
The moment she heard those words, Geommuyang burst into tears. Before she could even control her emotions, her vision became blurry. Geommuyang clenched her teeth and held it in. On a day like today, she didn’t want her father to see her crying.
“I was hungry anyway.”
“Let’s go. The maids won’t be sleeping today, so let’s ask them to do whatever they want.”
The two walked side by side toward Cheonma Hall.
Walking with his father like this made Geommuyang think of the past days.
Days when I tried to look good in front of my father.
He tried his best to fulfill his role as the eldest son. He wanted to look good to his father. He wanted to be praised by his father and recognized by his father.
The most certain way was to become the successor. I thought that if I didn’t become the successor, I would be miserably abandoned…
“Do you feel sorry?”
“No, I feel more relaxed.”
Now, Geum Woo-jin was not looking at his eldest son, but at his son. To Geum Mu-yang, Geum Woo-jin was not the leader, but his father.
Geum Woo-jin didn’t offer any consolation.
But, to Geommuyang, it was her father’s words of wanting to eat together that gave her greater comfort than any other consolation. She was so grateful.
Geom Woo-jin walked ahead, and Geom Mu-yang followed a few steps behind.
The moonlight was softly illuminating the path ahead of the rich man as he walked silently.
* * *
I was watching my father and brother walking from afar on the roof.
Originally, I was planning to have a drink with my brother.
But he fell behind after seeing his father taking care of his brother. We can drink it next time, but a meal with father on a day like today will be an unforgettable experience for my brother for the rest of his life.
As I regressed, perhaps my brother became a sore thumb to my father.
I was grateful to my father for taking care of me like that. A father is a father.
I flew up and stood on top of the tallest tower in the school.
I stood there with my arms crossed and looked around Cheonmasingyo. Cheonmasingyo was bustling with a festive atmosphere. It was a fun and exciting atmosphere for the first time in a long time.
In the midst of the heat, I thought about what I had to do next. My mind was calm and I was confident that I could handle the future.
I stood there alone on the top until the heat subsided and dawn began to rise.
