Episode 139
Super climax
“This is the oath of loyalty to the Nine Dragons!”
“You have now truly obtained the whirlwind you desired.”
“The whirlwind will be a great vanguard to create a new religion!”
“I beg your pardon, my lord!”
“I’m sorry!!”
“I’m sorry!!”
The ghosts bowed down and shouted with one mind and one heart.
The faces of the guys I picked up in Bukhaenoseo became even paler.
“It turned out like this, but I still had a hunch… …!”
“The little devil has really come back alive. With the wings of the wind on his back. If that’s the case, what is our plan that we’ve been struggling with all this time-“
“Ah! Lord Jong-ju-“
I was surprised to find out that I, who was thought to be dead, was alive, but I was also shocked to find out that the things that were happening behind the scenes for the revival of the Angmasinhwajong were so massive.
It would be hard to imagine that Gwangpungdae, the long-time enemy of the new religion, would become the vanguard of the new religion.
I too felt proud that I had finally established myself as a true Tang person, but at the same time, I felt a strange feeling.
How on earth can I put this feeling into words?
The fact that I, who had no family other than my master, had a new family?
The satisfaction of getting one step closer to revenge?
A sense of accomplishment that the revival of the Angmasinhwajong is starting to show little by little?
Of course, it’s not like I didn’t have those feelings.
But this seems to be something much more fundamental than that… … .
I dispersed all the warriors.
Although their voluntary oath of allegiance was greatly appreciated, the priority was to relieve the fatigue caused by the battle.
Moreover, I wanted to properly figure out what this difficult-to-express emotion was.
So, I was left alone in the room, having a good time, when suddenly one of the ghosts of Domabukhaejong jumped forward.
“Small heavenly maaaaaaa!”
The eyes were completely turned upside down with anger, as if they were burning brightly.
Even its face became like a monster, with teeth as sharp as sawtooth trying to bite my collar.
It seemed that the resentment that had accumulated beyond the limit of his energy had turned him into a vengeful spirit.
Usually when something like that happens, you hear that you’ve either died suddenly or been cursed.
Of course, if you become a ghost king and are attacked by ghosts and such, you won’t be as embarrassed as that.
Chorrrrrr!
The chain quickly turned, pulling at the restraints that bound the man’s neck and limbs.
Bam! Bam!
The ghost’s teeth continued to chew on the empty air, just an inch short of its target.
“This, this, this kid, all of a sudden!”
“Inooooohh! How is this place safe!?”
“Do you want to die?”
The fifteenth man who had been managing the guy ran out, and the other ghosts quickly subdued the vengeful spirit and forcibly suppressed it. The beatings immediately followed.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
But even in the midst of terrible pain, the vengeful spirit only burned its resentment toward me even more.
“Little Thing! You! You are a traitor!”
It was the funniest thing I’d ever heard from the ice ghosts of the North Sea.
I asked with a grin.
“I’m a traitor?”
“That’s right!!”
“Why?”
「But weren’t you the one who was called the Little Heavenly Demon! But look at your current appearance! Haven’t you thrown away all your self-awareness, pride, and self-esteem as the leader of the future of the Heavenly Demon Sect?」
The ghosts’ faces turned pale.
“This little shit has a mouth that’s open!”
“Scholar, don’t listen to this crazy guy! Your ears are rotting! We’ll take care of this guy-“
“Try to step back.”
“Haona!”
“Aren’t you curious to know what kind of nonsense he’s going to babble on about? Let’s keep listening.”
The ghosts hesitated for a moment and then stepped back.
The ghost was still tied up and looking like a frog, with only its head raised.
“The Tang family! The Gwangpungdae were our enemies! The enemies who repeatedly obstructed our long-cherished goal of advancing into the Central Plains!! They were the Central Plains’ lackeys who abandoned us!!”
“That’s right.”
“And yet, you, Socheonma, bow your head to such a party, lick its paws, and act as its loyal dog! Don’t you want to be the master of the Gwangpungdae? To those who hold the grudge of a hundred thousand demons!!”
“… … .”
“But, blinded by that mere desire for revenge, you are a traitor who turns away from the spirit of a hundred thousand demons and sells your soul-“
“This was it.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!!”
As I quietly listened to the ghost’s cries, I finally felt like I understood what the ‘uneasiness’ I had been feeling in my heart was.
Immediately after my reincarnation, the revival of the Angmasinhwajong and the recapture of the new religion were my top priorities.
I was almost determined to use everything that was available.
But when I actually lived as a member of the party, I realized that it wasn’t like that.

The ‘conscience’ that told me not to treat them in such a hypocritical way any longer raised its head.
The Gwangpungdae were truly pledging their loyalty to me.
But in reality, I am more focused on the revival of the new religion than on the glory of such a storm?
Even while planning to expend troops for this purpose?
Isn’t this no different from mocking and deceiving their sincerity?
But no matter what, in the end I was a cult leader of the Cheonmasin Church.
Gwangpungdae is the long-time enemy of the new religion.
I couldn’t tell how this act of handing over my heart here would be read by future disciples.
Even how will I appear to my ancestors and spirits who are watching over me from the sky?
In the end… I was doing something that I couldn’t do to the Shingyo, the Tangmun, the Angmasinhwajong, or the Gwangpungdae.
After realizing what I had previously only vaguely known in my heart, my mind felt clearer.
I felt relieved.
“Yeah. You might be right.”
“then!”
“But I changed my mind. Do you remember what your master said in front of the Dang family?”
“what-“
“’The new religion is different. Even if it is full of favors from the past, if it is helpful to you today and in the future, we accept it without discrimination even if it is an enemy. It means we are different from you who treat everything different from us as barbarians and reject them.’”
「!」
“That’s right. Even though you’re an apostate, you’re hitting the nail on the head with the definition of Protestantism.”
“this person-“
“The new religion is the home of the abandoned. It is a paradise created for them to rise again. That is why it is called the devil. And the Gwangpungdae… was once abandoned by the world.”
The reason why I was particularly drawn to Gwangpungdae.
This is exactly why I sympathized with their appearance.
“Is there anything wrong with embracing such a storm and trying to rise again, leading it with the teachings of the new religion?”
「!!!」
“Correcting the wrong parts of the new religion and correcting the wrong impression of the new religion in the Central Plains. That is the reason why I was able to be resurrected, and that is the new mission I have been given.”
The ghost’s face turned bright red.
“Where did you get that nonsense-“
Kkwadduk!
The spirit’s head turned as the chain grew tighter.
In the place where it turned to dust and disappeared, a ghost ring remained.
“I’m just going my own way. It’s up to me to say something about it, not you guys.”
I slowly got up from my seat.
The ghosts of the North Sea Dragon looked at me with eyes mixed with resentment, but they could not meet my gaze and lowered their heads.
The Cheonmahosimgong was boiling more than ever.
The three danjeons shook simultaneously and resonated deeply with the Cheonmahosimgong.
The teachings of Cheonmahosimgong are a study of controlling the mind.
The moment the worries that had been weighing on my mind until now were resolved, my sense of accomplishment deepened.
Wooooow!
Wheeeeeeee-
The gentle breeze that had been blowing around me became one with my thoughts and showed even thicker movements.
Now, depending on my will, this breeze could instantly become a gale, a sword wind, or a demonic wind.
It was evidence that the nine-stage Cheonmahosimgong had entered the second stage, and it was a sign that he had finally reached the highest level.
“May the Heavenly Demon King reign with great joy! Congratulations on your achievements!!”
“May the Heavenly Demon King reign with great joy! May you be blessed with great success!!”
Even though I had reached the higher level I wanted, I still felt dull.
If it’s natural, then it feels natural.
Rather, I felt like I had now reached the starting point for the mission I had been awakened to.
I glanced out the window.
A sense of energy that was much more sensitive and expanded than when I was an ordinary person shone through the sky.
A spirit connection with Onma was detected.
“Oh my, where is that guy?”
“Just a little while ago, I landed in a certain house.”
I had already anticipated that the North Sea Lord would attempt to revive himself, so I had secretly attached Onma to him.
Could it be that those who have completed the Great Law of the First Soul Possession have prepared this great law for their own revival?
The Northern Sea Lord himself may have been proud of himself as a saint who took on all the burdens of the believers and walked the march of suffering.
In my view, he was nothing more than a typical small-minded person who was afraid of defeat and death.
That’s why he just left him alone when the Dark Lord killed him.
In any case, interfering in the fight between the best players would only be a nuisance, and would most likely only arouse the Dark Lord’s suspicion.
I also had to secretly collect the soul of the North Sea Lord, so I waited vaguely.
Just so he can perfect his divorce law!
And now, it seemed like the whole process was over.
Now is the real harvest time.
“Before we go over there, I have something I want to ask you guys-”
I looked in the direction of the ghosts of the North Sea species and laughed.
“When you were being slaughtered, your leader was more concerned with his own survival than saving you. What do you think when you see this?”
「… … .」
「… … .」
「… … .」
“… Jo, the Lord is the spokesman of the city and the gods. So it is natural that he lives for the great cause, and our martyrdom will become the foundation for the great cause-”
Most were silent, while a few spoke passionately in support of the Northern Territory’s decision.
But even these people couldn’t hide their shaking pupils.
That answer was sufficient.
“Whatever your thoughts may be, I want you to know one thing.”
He summoned an evil spirit and wrapped it around his body.
The loose hair gradually turned white.
“A leader is someone who leads. And someone who protects.”
「!!」
「!!」
「!!」
“The night wind is quite chilly.”
I grumbled slightly and threw myself out the window.
In one hand he held a lion mask to hide his face.
A mask worn to hide one’s identity when saving believers in Dosunghyeon and to act as the leader of the Angmasinhwajong sect.
This time it was the same as before.
The current me is not the master of the Gwangpungdae or the head of a small branch of the Guryong branch, but the head of the Angma Mythology Sect.
The reincarnation demon temple
