Episode 250. Heavenly Demon Sword (2)
Unleash the Bloodthirsty Magic! … … !
Not only the Shudugyeomma Wicheonsu, but also the Jeolmyeongmado Gu Inryeong, the Cheonghyeolmajo Yuk Jinmyeong, the Hongyeonnachalgeom Son Yeonsu, and the Byeokanduma Hwang Jagyu, the senior demons all trembled as if they had been struck by lightning.
Because to their ears it sounded no different from asking them to turn themselves in.
The reverse blood magic technique was originally a kind of latent force stimulation technique. Of course, the martial arts of the righteous and evil factions did not lack such latent force stimulation techniques. There was a method of temporarily displaying slightly better skills than usual by burning the innate energy or the source of life, called the original source of energy. Occasionally, ordinary people who had not learned martial arts would regain some vitality when they were on the verge of death due to exhaustion of all their energy. This was also an instinctive consumption of the original source of energy to stimulate latent force, and this phenomenon was also called the return of light.
This kind of general technique of stimulating potential power was actually not that great. It was just a last-ditch effort by someone who had already exhausted all their strength, and was not enough to turn the tide of a match that had already fallen.
However, the reverse blood magic attack performed by those who mastered the art of magic was completely different from the usual latent power-provoking techniques. It was not at the level of supplementing the original skill, but far surpassing it, and the price that had to be paid in reaction was not small.
The magical energy that those who have entered the world of magic inevitably have to deal with.
This magic energy is extremely unstable, but it has explosive power in itself. If you use reverse blood magic, the magic energy will run wild and the caster will be able to perform martial arts with several times the normal power. Furthermore, since not only the sense of pain but also the senses of the entire body are paralyzed, you can engage in battle without worrying about minor injuries.
Of course, this power cannot be given without a price. Originally, it was the fate of the demons to live with the risk of being possessed by demons due to their inherent instability. Once the demonic energy ran wild by the will of the master, it did not stop its rampage easily. Once the blood-reverse magic attack was cast, the frenzy could not be stopped until all the demonic energy was exhausted, and even after it was barely stopped, it was common for the danjeon to break and the shocks that had been reserved to rush in at once, resulting in sudden death.
This is literally a must-kill, must-die move by Dong Gwi-eun.
So, the order of the religious leader Yeon Mu-yeol is no different from telling him to die.
‘Is he really that good? So much so that we’d have to sacrifice our lives to stop him? …?’
It was not unreasonable for Wi Cheon-su to think that way instead of following orders. Most of the senior demons, including him, were on the verge of reaching the extreme of demonic power. From the perspective of the religion, even at their current level, they were a very significant force, but if you consider the possibility that they could eventually become beings capable of controlling the magic energy, their importance could be said to be very great. Especially now that the Jeongma War is in full swing.
It felt like a huge loss for the hundreds of resident troops, including the elder minions, to deploy bloody magic attacks to deal with a single young invader. The saying “Kyo-gak-sal-u (矯角殺牛: trying to straighten a bull’s horns ends up killing the bull)” came to mind.
Wi Cheon-su opened his mouth with difficulty.
“I am so sorry, Your Majesty… …!”
It was never because he was afraid of death━ He could not continue his speech.
“It’s disobedience.”
You’re going too far━ Without changing his expression, Yeonmuyeol burned one of the Gohwangji talismans. It was a talisman containing the Golden Water Dragon Arrow. Since he knew that it wouldn’t work on Dangga Sogaju, who could use the Sword of Magic Destruction, he wanted to use it as an example to his subordinates.
“A dog that doesn’t listen deserves to die.”
As soon as Yeonmuyeol finished speaking.
Shuaaaaaaa━
Out of nowhere, countless water droplets formed in the air, and flew towards Wicheonsu while spinning. It was as fast as lightning, and at one point, the water droplets gathered together and formed the shape of a dragon. Wicheonsu was unable to put up much resistance to the sudden attack and died with a large hole in his upper body. The water dragon pierced through him, but after a long time, it blew away the limbs of several demons who were standing blankly behind him before disappearing.
“… … !!”
The other elder demons were all shocked. Even if it was a method of killing a demonic master who was on the verge of reaching the ultimate state, it was an unacceptable action considering the way the cult leader Yeonmuyeol had treated them up until now. Why would the cult leader, who had always shown respect for the elder demons who had accumulated considerable achievements since the previous generation…?
“You don’t understand the urgency of the situation at all. Well, that’s enough. I’ll help you out a little.”
“… … !!”
The Romans were shocked by Yeonmuyeol’s meaningful words. They had a gut feeling about what their leader was trying to do.
Although very few people knew about it, the reverse blood magic technique was originally a technique that originated from the demonic possession that the demons felt as a punishment.
The reverse blood magic technique is a form of deliberately directing demonic energy into several blood holes to trigger their potential. This was something that the once immortal demon, a traitor, devised after completely overcoming the extreme punishment that the leader of the cult had personally handed down: demonic possession. Having personally experienced how demonic energy running wild throughout the body causes an ascending effect, he was able to find a way to stimulate several blood holes just enough to prevent instant death and achieve partial demonic possession.
anyway.
Yeon Mu-yeol, the leader of the Cheonma Shingong, possessed the power to control not only his own but also others’ magic energy. It could cause demonic possession.
The demonic possession caused by the Heavenly Demonic Art is extremely painful, to the point where it can lead to death and can even be considered a form of punishment. This is because it is not a sophisticated technique like the Blood Demonic Art.
“… … I obey the command of the Most High.”
That was why Hongyeonnachalgeom Son Yeonsu unhesitatingly unleashed the reverse blood magic attack. Since he was going to die anyway, he decided that this was the better option.
Moreover, it was not possible to see that they would definitely die. Most people who did not have much achievement would die after exhausting all their demonic energy through the blood-reversing magic attack, and their dantian would break, but she and other senior demons were on the verge of reaching the ultimate demonic state. If they could use the frenzied demonic energy right after using the blood-reversing magic attack to quickly break through the Imdokyang vein and reach the ultimate demonic state, there would be a way to survive. The state where the control over demonic energy reaches its peak is the ultimate demonic state.
On the other hand, if you were possessed by a demon brought on by the leader, there was a high chance that you would not even dare to attempt such a thing. You would not be able to properly engage in combat due to extreme pain, and in severe cases, you could even die instantly.
‘Let’s consider this as a drastic prescription given by the cult leader in the face of a formidable enemy.’
An extremely powerful wave of magical energy began to spread from Hongyeonnachalgeom Son Yeonsu, who had emptied his mind like that. Based on the momentum alone, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a master of the ultimate level.
And as if they had made the same judgment as her, the other elder minions also casted the reverse blood magic attack one by one with a serious expression. They were originally emitting a wild and uncontrollable aura, but at some point, they began to create a truly explosive wave of energy. Their hair and the hems of their clothes were fluttering and their eyes were shining with a sharp light, which was very ominous.
Meanwhile.
“… … .”
Not only did Sudu-gyeom-ma Wi Cheon-su set an example and die, but even the senior demons took the lead in using the blood-reversing magic technique, so the hundreds of demons lined up behind them also had a distraught expression. Originally, learning the blood-reversing magic technique was forbidden except for the elite military units directly under the religious order. This was because the indiscriminate use of the blood-reversing magic technique greatly weakened the power of the magical path. However, after the Battle of Bangpa with Kunlun━ and the outbreak of the Jeongma War in the Central Plains led by Ma Gwang-cheon, the blood-reversing magic technique was spread even to those with low achievements.
Dozens of them shouted “Respect life” with determined expressions and performed the blood-reversing magic attack, but many others were hesitating and rolling their eyes. Since the elder demons had already performed the blood-reversing magic attack and the cult leader was still alive, they were observing the situation with the hope that this crisis would somehow be resolved.
This is because those gathered here are closer to travelers than the elite military force that has been raised and instilled with loyalty since childhood. As those who have mastered the art of magic, they have devoted themselves to the magic of ascension, seeking to escape the danger of being possessed by demons.
It was natural that they, who prioritized their own safety above all else, would be reluctant to do something that would harm their own lives.
Moreover, there were relatives of the cult leader here. Although there were few of them, they were blood relatives, and they were like relatives of the previous generation who had sensed the commotion and gathered. There was also Baek So-yeon, who was like a concubine, although she was not officially acknowledged.
It was hard to believe that the leader Yeonmuyeol intended to kill them all. The demons who had not used the reverse blood magic thought that if they could somehow endure this moment, a way out would open up. Of course, they did not think at all that they would be defeated. This was because they did not have the outstanding sense of spirit of the elder demons, so they could not properly perceive what was happening near the leader’s temple. They could not have guessed that the young man who attacked the leader was a skilled enough person to kill dozens of extreme demon masters.
And then.
“There are a lot of shallow people.”
The voice of the leader Yeonmuyeol rang out. Immediately afterwards, blue flowers sparkled in his eyes and he muttered softly.
Inviting the devil in –
That was the moment.
Sigh!
Ugh!
Here and there, simultaneous gasps and gasps of breath can be heard. The magic energy within the body no longer follows its master’s will and begins to run wild. It was a sign of demonic possession.
Just one breath later.
Those with low magical powers immediately burst into pieces and died with blood flying everywhere, while those with relatively high magical powers tried to control their rampaging magical energy. However, most of them collapsed on the ground, coughing up blood, and then thrashed around as if in excruciating pain.
The only ones who were still standing were those who had already casted the Blood Magic Attack at the cult leader’s command.
Surprisingly, Yeonmuyeol only chose those who did not follow his orders to become possessed by a demon. It was a sight that could only be seen if one could completely control the surrounding demonic energy.
“Ahh… … My cult leader!”
“Mercy… … Please have mercy… … !”
“How dare I, how dare I, commit a sin worthy of death… … .”
“Please forgive me… … !”
In an instant, chaos unfolded. Those covered in blood and rolling around on the ground forced their heads up with bloodshot eyes and looked at their leader, desperately begging for mercy and forgiveness.

The power of the Heavenly Demonic Power was so absolute. Those who were possessed by the devil could never escape its grasp. By the time that fact was clearly engraved in everyone’s mind.
Yeonmuyeol said.
“Just get up.”
“… … !”
The minions held their breath and shuddered. The magic that had been raging as if it were tearing apart the blood vessels in their entire bodies had suddenly subsided. Only then did they vividly realize who held the power of their life and death in their hands.
“I won’t tell you twice. Get up and unleash your reverse magic attack to deal with the enemies of our school.”
Then you can survive. The additional words could not help but sound meaningful to the people. The leader of the cult once caused them to possess a demon and then calmed it down. Even if they face a reverse blood magic attack, the thought that they can save their lives if they just deal with the enemy dominates everyone’s mind.
“… … .”
The eyes of those who staggered to their feet changed in an instant. They finally realized that there was only one way to survive. Without hesitation, the minions began to attack one by one with the reverse blood magic attack.
Hwaaaaak━
A huge wave of magical energy bursts out from them.
The sudden change in momentum spreads like wildfire.
It was then that the dry voice of Sacheondangga Sogaju Dangmyeong blurted out.
“Island.”
Then, as if it were a lie, the world split in two.
