017
Among the inhabitants of Earth, only a handful have set foot on the invaded worlds.
The inhabitants of the invaded worlds walked the Earth’s land without a care in the world, but conversely, they rarely let anyone in.
That’s why the stories about the invaded worlds, whether it was Eun-in or Einhart, were just rumors.
‘A castle built of gold, a city stretching on forever, a giant magic tower, a city with thousands of swords stuck in it.’
The landscape of the invaded world was usually described as magnificent and legendary.
In fact, the base of the Volcano Guild, the volcano, is a huge mountain with no end in sight, and there is a village between steep cliffs. At the top of the mountain, there is the Volcano Clan, which can be said to be the true body of the volcano.
That’s why I was looking forward to it.
‘Blood King.’
The headquarters of a blood sect called Ilseong.
A real thing that cannot be compared to the silver world that he had briefly experienced before.
As a person of advantage, this was my first time stepping into the world of silver, so I had high expectations.
But the results were disastrous.
“Haha… This is the Blood King’s Castle!”
Kang Eun-ha’s voice, shouting from the front, was as small as the sound of a mosquito.
“Ahem.”
Kang Han-cheol turned his head, and Han Do-baek lowered his head.
“… … .”
Even the proud Black Swordsmen and the Dark Bloods, who rarely showed their expressions, quietly turned their heads and coughed in vain.
“It’s quite a sight.”
That was the evaluation of the silver world, the Blood King’s Castle, which was the first proper step into by Yirun.
There were many shacks that were collapsing, and people were walking around the streets like corpses, almost dead.
Still, there was something great about it.
“After school, I will meet with the high-ranking officials of the school.”
Every time their group passes by, they bow down and pay homage, like corpses.
“It’s a sight to behold.”
That too was a sight to behold.
“… … .”
Kang Eun-ha also ended up keeping her mouth shut without even being able to give a detailed explanation.
She, Kang Han-cheol, and Han Do-baek also knew.
The fact that the blood sect was destroyed.
He owns his own Gangha group, operates the Black Swords and Dark Blood Squads, and also has the Gangha Guild under his control.
That’s why I thought that when they said that the Blood Cult was falling apart, they meant that it was falling apart from its former glory.
But it was literal.
“I’m really screwed.”
The blood sect is destroyed.
However, there was something that seemed mysterious, namely its architectural style.
It’s a mishmash of architectural styles from all over Asia, but it all works together strangely.
Although it was mostly in a Chinese style, it seemed to have some styles from the Joseon or Goryeo periods that you would see in historical dramas.
There was one more thing worth seeing.
Coloring of buildings.
‘Red.’
All the buildings, even the roofs of the rickety shacks, were red.
“Originally, the Blood Cult was located in the desert, which was considered to be an outcast even in the world. They had to hide the saints in the desert, so they painted it in a red color similar to sand, which is why it still remains to this day.”
Kang Eun-ha’s explanation towards Iroun continued.
“And… the reason the Blood King looks like this is… .”
Kang Eun-ha hesitates, perhaps because she is embarrassed to say it herself.
“In the end, it’s all about money.”
Kang Han-cheol answered on his behalf.
“It is a little-known fact, but the Silver World is a fragment of a destroyed world.”
Sure enough, in the distance, black pieces of sky appeared as if they had been torn apart.
It looked like a barrier imprisoning the Blood King, but it also looked like shards of broken glass.
The boundaries of the world are not endless like the Earth, but rather there is an impassable barrier.
“The world needs nutrients to survive.”
The division of the world.
It’s something like a magic stone that can be obtained from a monster at the gate, or a gate core that can be obtained by defeating the gate’s boss.
Or other large energy sources, such as the core of another dungeon.
“The scale of the Blood King’s Castle is so great that it cannot be compared to other silver worlds. That’s why…”
“I guess that means you’re getting a lot of nutrients.”
“… Yes, Blood Demon. Even within the Blood King’s Castle, gates sometimes form, but ultimately, the nutrients that can appear in a destroyed world are limited.”
That is why the silver, or rather the invaded worlds, are competing to advance to Earth and build up their power.
“I am ashamed to tell you this, Your Majesty, but the external forces that the Blood Cult currently possesses… are the Gangha Group and the Cold Tiger Guild led by the third elder, Han Do-baek.”
“under.”
It’s ridiculous.
Gangha group?
It is true that they are definitely a pretty big company.
It is also true that it has a certain degree of influence in Asia beyond South Korea.
But are they the biggest corporations?

That wasn’t it.
A level that is barely passing the middle level.
“There are methods, as there are also sorcery such as soul-binding in the Blood Cult, but as you know… .”
“The forces of the silver have already advanced considerably, and with the awakening of the players and Einhart, it will be difficult to make any foolish remarks.”
Brainwashing through sorcery also has its limits.
That is, either build it up or take it away.
But even that was an uncomfortable situation for the blood sect.
If the appearance is revealed, the forces of silver will unite and do everything they can to erase the blood sect.
Furthermore, in the form of an invaded world, destruction was a foregone conclusion if the entrance to the dungeon was found, so the Blood Cult’s actions had to be even more cautious.
‘That’s why I was so enthusiastic about recruiting the teachers.’
Using black market to secretly recruit followers.
That may be the only thing the currently failing Blood Cult can do.
“Are the elders still squabbling at this point?”
The blood sect is like this, so are the elders united and fighting because they don’t want to lose their vested rights?
No, that won’t happen.
“I guess that’s why it’s like this.”
In order to escape this situation, they must be uniting and coming together to advance to Earth.
The easiest answer to advancing to Earth would be absolute power.
If the Blood Horse becomes the great power they wish for.
If you achieve the ultimate blood demon, the blood demon god, who is a legend in the blood sect.
‘One-handed, no, two-handed.’
If we could just reach a level where we could rub shoulders with those who are called absolutes, the power of the Blood Cult would be on a whole other level than it is now.
The blood sect was now risking its life.
“By the way, it seems that Elder Sa hasn’t reported to the Blood King’s Castle yet.”
Han Do-baek said cautiously.
When we arrived at the Blood King’s Castle, we naturally encountered the Blood Cultists guarding the gate.
Since there was only one entrance to the Blood King’s Castle, Kang Han-cheol was nervous because he thought a battle would break out immediately if Elder Sa reported to the Blood King’s Castle.
‘I see you, Master Left.’
They cleared the way without saying anything.
“It’s certainly strange. But it’s good. If you haven’t been informed yet… .”
Swish.
Kang Han-cheol looked far away at the center of the Blood King’s Castle.
A gigantic structure whose light has not yet faded in the crumbling Blood King’s Castle.
“It will be easy to get to the Blood Palace.”
Kang Han-cheol, Kang Eun-ha, and Han Do-baek looked at Lee Ro-woon.
A face that asks if you really want to do it.
It was a face that said you had to believe, but it wasn’t easy to believe.
“I told you.”
Yirun clearly told them.
“I’m going to catch the blood horse.”
“but…!”
Kang Eun-ha is worried.
Even if you have the Black Sword Band, Dark Blood Band, Left Guardians, Three Elders, and a Divine Lady, if you face the power of the Blood Demon Palace, the only result will be death.
“It can’t be undone anyway.”
Shh.
Lee Ro-woon said, curling the corners of his mouth, as if he knew their feelings.
“It seems that the author, Elder Sa, has already reported it.”
“… … !”
“Huh.”
Those people in crimson uniforms seen in the distance.
“Blood sword… .”
The Blood Demon Palace’s direct personal guard, the Blood Sword Corps, has appeared.
The Blood Sword Captain Jeong Ji-su, who arrived in front of the tense crowd, took the lottery ticket and spoke.
“I came to pick you up.”
* * *
Blood Demon Palace, Blood Demon War.
All the elders and guardians except for the three elders, Han Do-baek and the left guardian, Kang Han-cheol, were gathered there.
And at the center end, on the red throne, sat the Blood Horse, the ruler of the Blood King’s Castle.
The only hope and center of the dying blood sect.
‘Blood bag.’
He was born as the youngest son of the previous blood sect and grew up without any expectations.
That’s why he was able to escape the power struggles of his descendants and have a smooth, if uneventful, childhood.
‘The scoundrel of the blood sect.’
It was just like the nickname of Bloodbath in childhood.
He is the one who uses the handful of power he has been given as he pleases, without even considering the circumstances of the failing blood sect, and makes the elders frown.
But one day, the youngest, who had been a troublemaker, changed.
Bloodstained Hwan changed, as if possessed by something, or as if inhabited by some other being.
A former scoundrel showed talent that was greater than anyone else’s.
The other blood descendants also realized belatedly that the blood bank was dangerous, but it was too late.
Choaaaah!
At the age of just eighteen, Hyeol Su-baek beat out the other blood descendants and became the new leader.
It was a rebellion by the Bloodthirsty, who were thought to have no martial arts training at all.
In addition, he became the successor of the Blood Demon Sword, which was virtually a lost cause.
There was nothing rough now.
No one could deny it.
“Meet the Blood Horse-!”
“Meet the Blood Horse-!”
He was a blood horse.
A war that rings loudly.
The elders bowed to the bloodthirsty with heavy expressions.
Swish.
Bloodthirsty Hwang waved his hands without saying a word, and was treated as an example.
The bloodsucker spoke in a voice like an evil spirit.
“According to Elder Sa, the left guard was plotting treason.”
Kuung!
It was just a voice, but it felt like a huge battle was collapsing.
‘Ugh. What kind of power is this?’
‘I heard you came out of the closet. You must have achieved something.’
‘The Blood Demon God is just around the corner.’
The elders felt the power of the blood corps with their whole body and were moved by the blood corps’ accomplishments.
This man is the savior who will lead the Blood Cult from falling into an endless abyss.
“Yes! Blood Horse!”
Well then, Kang Han-cheol.
That stupid left-wing law was plotting betrayal.
Elder Sa and Baekdok Lim stepped forward and shouted.
“He dared to forsake the grace of the Blood Demon and plot treason! Moreover, he dared to…”
Trembling.
“You tried to deceive the elder by bringing up the story of the new blood horse.”
“What! A new blood horse?”
“What on earth are you talking about!”
Several elders who had not yet received the report began to murmur at Im Baek-dok’s words.
Swish.
Hyeolsu Baek waved his hand again, quieting the room.
“Keep talking.”
“I believe that the left-wing law has been in contact not only with me but also with the three elders, Handobaek.”
“If it’s the three elders… aren’t they close friends with the Left Guardian? Then it’s possible that they joined the Left Guardian.”
“What are you talking about? If it were the three elders, they would have stopped the left-wing law… or gone in to nip it in the bud.”
Daejeon is noisy again.
“I told you to be quiet.”
Let’s say that Hyeolsu Baek is spewing out his inner energy.
“Huh!”
The elders swallowed their breath and bowed their heads.
Bloodsu Baek said.
“What about the priestess?”
“That’s… probably with the left-hand law…”
The priestess.
The elders did not say it out loud, but they were thinking so.
Blood sect is a religion.
And in such religions, the role of priestesses was important.
The fact that the priestess shares the same intentions as the left guardian deity….
“Sigh… .”
It meant that there was a possibility that the left-wing law was not doing anything in vain.
“The new blood horse could be real.”
The voice of Hyeolsu Baek sank like a lump of iron.
“I have already received the report from Elder Sa… It seems that the Left Guardian has already entered the Blood King’s Castle with the new Blood Demon author.”
“that…!”
“But it’s a good thing.”
The bloodthirsty were laughing.
His voice continued with a smile full of genuine murderous intent.
“If the new Blood Demon is real, if the Blood Demon he possesses is real….”
Swish.
Hyeolsu Baek stood up from his seat and said.
“Shouldn’t I just absorb him and complete the Blood Demon God?”
“… … !”
The red eyes of the bloodthirsty monster were curved like crescent moons.
