“ha.”
As I exhale, my body starts to move.
The fluff stood up and then fell, and the skin took on a deep, muted hue for a moment.
“Huh.”
But when I took another breath, all the changes in my body stopped.
Even the chest, which should have risen and fallen while breathing, did not move at all.
At first glance, it looked as if he had died just sitting there.
That was the moment he opened his eyes.
Hwaaaaak-!
A blazing magic filled the space.
The dark cave was instantly engulfed in red flames, but the flames continued to grow in size without stopping.
Finally, the color of the flame quickly changed from red to blue.
Jiiiiiik.
It had been transformed into white salt that could even melt rocks.
The heat was still rising with no sign of stopping.
But at some point, the flames that had filled the room died down in an instant.
no.
I couldn’t help but think that it had died down.
Not even a small light can be seen inside the room.
Black darkness.
A flame that engulfs everything and has no color to show.
“Is it as far as blackening?”
It was blackened.
The fourth stage of the Heavenly Demonic Art.
It was the highest state that was reached before the final stage of sanctification.
At the man’s gesture, a silent flame engulfed the surrounding area and soon returned to the man’s hand.
The man, Lee Ro-woon, clicked his tongue as if he felt regret and got up.
“It wasn’t enough.”
I started practicing Cheonma Shingong and attacked the gate to achieve it faster.
After that, he fought against Haenam in the East Sea, and also fought against Cheolgeom and Docheon.
The incomplete Heavenly Demon God continued to destroy and regenerate his body every time he moved, and the full energy that had filled his blood vessels simultaneously permeated his body into the newly established middle vessels near his psyche.
But even with that, he still couldn’t reach the final stage, sanctification.
‘I think I’ll need some more time.’
What Lee Ro-un is doing is not breaking new ground, but regaining lost ground.
Time, whether slow or fast, will solve it.
To shorten that time, Cheonmasingong required actual physical movement rather than meditation through Yunkijosik.
It would be a good idea to train your body while working out, but that alone would not be enough to speed up your progress.
Because bumping into something and reading and applying the physical information it had was also necessary for the Cheonma Shingong.
“It’s time to go out.”
Long hair that grew long.
As Yi-ro-un took a step forward, his hair began to thin out.
Hair trimmed to an appropriate length.
Only then, as if satisfied, did Yirun put his hand on the huge rock blocking the common door.
Hurrruk!
The rock began to melt into the black salt.
***
It has been six months since the Iron Sword League collapsed and the Milky Way and the Celestials began to rule Gyeonggi Province.
Before we knew it, the rule of the galaxy had entered a period of stability.
Over time, the Celestials gradually ceded their rights to the Galaxy, and now it would not be an exaggeration to say that Gyeonggi-do is virtually ruled by the Galaxy alone.
Many changes have occurred over the years.
The reviews for Galaxy were extremely positive.
The most famous person in South Korea right now is the guild leader of the Galaxy Guild, Kang Eun-ha.
Not only is she known to have a beautiful appearance at a young age, but she is said to be on the verge of becoming a genius.
She is evaluated as not only strong in terms of force, but also possessing wisdom and charisma.
This was something that could be seen by looking at the reign of the galaxy so far.
“Meet the Guildmaster of the Galaxy.”
Such a strong galaxy was welcoming guests at the old Iron Sword Building, now the Galaxy Building, which had become the new base of the Galaxy Guild.
Those who lined up in front of Kang Eun-ha, bowed their heads while holding lottery tickets.
The marks on their chests told us who they were.
‘association.’
They were guests sent by the Players Association.
“You said you had to see me?”
Only then did the players of the association raise their heads at the sound of Kang Eun-ha’s cold voice.
The one standing at the very front.
He was Nam Ho-jeong, the head of the Gyeonggi branch of the Korea Players Association.
A talented person who rose to the position of branch manager at the young age of thirty.
However, his evaluation hit rock bottom.

In the Age of Tribulation, becoming an executive of the Players’ Association at a young age meant that loyalty was valued more than ability.
It was obvious to anyone where that loyalty was directed.
“Yes, Guild Master.”
Nam Ho-jeong was careful with his words, keeping an eye on Kang Eun-ha’s expression.
As a player of the association, he was quick to learn how to deal with unmanned players.
Especially now, the person he has to deal with is none other than Kang Eun-ha.
The leader of the Galaxy Guild, one of the three major powers in the new Republic of Korea.
‘According to the information from the open, he is one of the descendants of Jeonjin.’
Although the name Jeonjin is unfamiliar, information suggests that it is also closely related to volcanoes.
further.
‘Namgung Mujin.’
There is even a story going around that the Blue Dragon Lord is the one who watches over the galaxy.
A person like Kang Eun-ha would be capable of destroying everything that Nam Ho-jeong had built with just one word.
“If it’s not important information, you better be prepared.”
A cold chill lingered in Kang Eun-ha’s voice.
“My time is more valuable than you think.”
In reality, aren’t there a lot of people waiting to get a number to meet Kang Eun-ha right now?
It goes without saying that even the powers based in the Gyeonggi region, as well as the politicians in the Gyeonggi region, sent people to Kang Eun-ha just to get her face stamped on them.
Nam Ho-jeong, the branch manager of the association, said that if it weren’t for the name of the association, he would never have been able to see Kang Eun-ha.
“Of course.”
Nam Ho-jeong smiled with shining eyes.
“You will never regret giving me your time.”
The ability to become a branch manager at the age of thirty.
Nam Ho-jeong believed in the ability to seize opportunities and take advantage of them.
“say it.”
“first….”
Gulp.
Nam Ho-jeong swallowed and opened his mouth.
“Do you know the Almero Guild? They’re trying to expand their influence in the Paju area this time….”
Kang Eun-ha’s eyes became cold.
If it’s Almero, you know.
‘Nam Ho-jeong.’
It was a guild run by this person’s older brother.
It is clearly a crime for an association executive to directly operate a guild, but it is not illegal for a family member to operate it instead of the individual.
And the executives of the association take advantage of the deep-rooted guilds they have in their jurisdictional districts and regions.
It could be said to be a cross-section of a rotten association.
But that is not Kang Eun-ha’s concern.
“Are you asking me to pay the price first?”
Nam Ho-jeong shivered at the cold voice.
‘I thought it was a lie that I was facing the situation.’
The more I looked at the life-affirming feeling, the more likely it was real.
Nevertheless, Nam Ho-jeong spoke with his characteristically sly smile.
“How could that be? Considering the gravity of the information, I think it would be okay to ask for this level of convenience….”
“Okay. If you have the information, I’ll tell you.”
Wish.
It was a lucky player guild that caught the galaxy as a spawn.
It was also a place where a guild that was on the verge of collapse with only a name grew in an instant thanks to its relationship with the galaxy.
“thank you.”
“So don’t waste any more time and tell me. I’m starting to get annoyed.”
“I’ll tell you right away.”
I got what I wanted.
Now, the more I look into it, the more disadvantageous it becomes.
Nam Ho-jeong was a man who knew when to strike and when to retreat.
“I heard that the galaxy is currently having a hard time because of the conference.”
“… … .”
It was true.
It’s been a while since the Galaxy dominated the game, but I heard that the conference hasn’t given them any recognition.
Because the place called Hoe is so closed off, it was clear that they were suspicious of the sudden rise of a new force called Galactic.
“There is an opportunity to build up your reputation in the company.”
“opportunity?”
This time, Kang Eun-ha’s eyes also lit up.
It seemed as if there was a reason why Nam Ho-jeong came with confidence.
“In the Gyeonggi region, which is currently the sphere of influence of the galaxy….”
Shh.
“There is intelligence that an unranker is hiding.”
“… … !”
indeed.
It was information that Nam Ho-jeong could be confident about.
“Unranked… Are you sure?”
“It is more than certain that we will save them. I am sorry to say this, but by chance, we have tracked down a player from the association who was secretly cooperating with the Unrankers. According to the information, we will save them, no, we are more than certain that we will save them.”
There is a story about a spy hiding in the association.
It wasn’t something an association executive should be talking about, but what can you do?
Nam Ho-jeong did not hesitate even for a moment when he told them the information he had obtained by torturing one of his own family members.
That was when.
“… … !”
Kang Eun-ha’s eyes grew large in an instant.
I could see his mouth trembling slightly.
‘Earthquake?’
It certainly seemed like a transmission similar to the message magic that the drones were using.
But what surprised Nam Ho-jeong even more was Kang Eun-ha’s expression.
A facial expression that changes from moment to moment.
It was a warm and welcoming face, perhaps even like a puppy’s, that was hard to believe was created by Kang Eun-ha, who was also called a witch by some.
Boom!
Kang Eun-ha suddenly got up.
She left the room without saying a word to Nam Ho-jeong.
“…What happened?”
The dumbfounded Nam Ho-jeong stood there blankly for a moment, but soon he too began to move.
It’s so important that I had to stop talking about unrankers.
Kang Eun-ha left in a hurry.
‘There is something.’
Nam Ho-jeong led the players of the association and followed Kang Eun-ha.

There were many rumors about the galaxy that were too absurd to be believed.
But most of them turned out to be true, and even the things that the galaxy had shown us were considered true.
One thing though.
There was a rumor whose truth was not certain.
A story that is hard to believe with common sense.
It’s a rumor that’s even more unbelievable because he’s a resident of Eun, but it’s also possible because Eun has so many unique aspects.
It was a story about a special guild member in the galaxy.
‘Blue checkup.’
A guild member who single-handedly took on the Blue Squad, Haenam’s armed force, and single-handedly destroyed their Blue Sword.
But what is even more unbelievable is this.
‘That he has no position whatsoever.’
Just the status of a regular guild member.
However, it is said that all the drones in the galaxy are afraid of him, if not afraid of him.
What was most unbelievable was that even the leader of the Galaxy Guild, the Iron-Blooded Witch Kang Eun-ha, treated the guild members with respect.
Despite having such great abilities, being a mere guild member means that you have no greed.
However, I thought that it could be true since there were monsters in the Silver who didn’t have any specific positions, but the problem was that no one had confirmed the existence of that guild member since the Galaxy dominated the game.
“… … .”
And now Nam Ho-jeong was able to determine the truth of the rumor.
A large number of drones lined up in the lobby of the Galaxy Building are bowing their heads slightly while holding lottery tickets.
In the center of it all stood the Iron-Blooded Witch Kang Eun-ha and the Bloody Swordsman Do Mu-seong, who washed his body in blood after defeating the Elder of Haenam.
They too were bowing their heads while taking the lottery.
“Get down… quickly!”
Nam Ho-jeong soon came to his senses and whispered to the association members he had brought.
He also quickly took the lottery ticket, lowered his head, and quietly looked at the entrance to the lobby.
Drrrrr.
A man entering a rapidly rotating revolving door.
“Guild member-!”
“Hello-!”
It was a moment when every drone in the galaxy shouted with all its might.
“Huh… .”
A man with a distorted face.
“What is it…?”
He was glaring at Kang Eun-ha with his teeth clenched.
