The giant tow wails as it loses its comrade.
And at the same time, he ignored the members of the Intangible Wave and ran towards Seo Kang-rim.
The giant tow swung its heavy fist, but Seo Kang-rim lightly jumped up and dodged the attack.
-Crunch!
As Seo Kang-rim swung his sword once, a large crack appeared in the giant tou’s chest.
It was as if it had been cut from soft earth rather than stone.
Seo Kang-rim was inwardly surprised by that feeling.
‘Was the giant tow this weak?’
I remembered the first time I came to the Great Demon Sutra in my past life.
At that time, he barely managed to escape with his life under Shin Soo-ah’s protection and returned first.
Seo Kang-rim smiled bitterly and swung his sword.
‘It’s definitely different from back then.’
I felt like my past self, who had been educated but was still a poor student, was like a different person.
The party members watched in amazement as he dodged attacks and counterattacked.
“I heard that people from educational institutions are strong… … .”
“Are all trainees originally that strong?”
As non-trainees, they were seeing trainees fight for the first time.
It was a completely different level from theirs.
The giant tow was filled with anger and swung his fist at Seo Kang-rim,
-Snap!
At the same time, the seven-blade sword swung by Seo Kang-rim cut off the giant toe’s fist.
And in an instant, countless lines were drawn on Tou’s body.
-Kuuung!
The giant tow fell without leaving a trace.
It just turned into a pile of rocks.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at the fallen giant tow and then moved his feet again.
His face was as calm as if he had just removed a boulder blocking the road.
“Over there, over there!”
At that moment, the leader urgently grabbed Seo Kang-rim and stopped him.
Seo Kang-rim looked back and asked in a calm voice.
“What is it?”
“that is…….”
The leader hesitated, then closed his eyes tightly and spoke.
“Would you mind partying with us?”
Now was not the time to be concerned about pride.
If they get on Seo Kang-rim’s side, they might be able to conquer this place too.
But Seo Kang-rim spoke with an indifferent expression.
“Didn’t you just leave earlier? Then why all of a sudden?”
“That, that… … .”
How can I say that I ignored him because I thought he was nothing special?
While the leader was struggling to find something to say, Seo Kang-rim let out a short sigh and left the group.
The party members saw this and quickly ran after it.
“Hey, let’s go quickly! The devil might come again… … .”
“……shit.”
Once again, it was a no-brainer to face the devil in a situation where the escape route was blocked.
They quickly followed Seo Kang-rim out of the cave.
* * *
-Kuaang… … !
The demon blocking the road let out a single scream and fell down.
I looked around, wiping the blood off my map.
There were numerous fallen demons at the entrance to the forest.
Even though I managed to defeat Tou and escape the cave, I didn’t have time to rest.
I was able to deal with all the beasts that attacked, but there were so many of them that it took longer than expected.
If I remember correctly, I think we’re about halfway there.
How far have other people come?
I sat down on the rock and activated the ear cuff.
“Is everyone okay? How far have we come?”
“[Ah, Mr. Kangrim. I’ve just come out of the fork in the road. I was nervous because it was a great demonic realm, but it’s not as difficult as I thought.]”
It seemed like things were going smoothly for Shin Soo-ah.
Well, since he was the first one to conquer this demonic realm in his previous life, he would have done well even without my help.
Meanwhile, the Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul side was still a bit noisy as the battle was still in full swing.
The cries of Liny and Yorong could also be heard faintly.
“[Master, we are still in the middle of a fight! I will contact you later!]”
“[Damn it, why are other people so weak? Sister, let’s just leave them alone… …!]”
Yoon Bom and Yoon Gyul-wool looked a little overwhelmed as they were fighting while taking care of other people.
When I heard Yoon Gyul-woo grumble about why she was so weak, I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“It’s not that they are weak, it’s that you are strong.”

“[Us? Aren’t we just ordinary? Compared to Master and Sister Sua, we’re far from enough… … .]”
It was something that other Awakened people would be outraged at if they heard it.
Anyway, although there were differences, it seemed like everyone was proceeding without any problems.
Amidst the sounds of fighting coming through Yun Gyul-woo’s communication device, the voice of God interrupted the chaos.
【Hey, is that Seo Kang-rim?】
【You said you haven’t received the spirit yet, is that true?】
【No, really, why didn’t I receive it?】
All kinds of gods came into the free communication room and were making a lot of noise.
It was noisier than when I was in the training facility.
Now, most hunters would have been possessed by a god, so it was obvious that I, who had not yet signed a contract, would become prey.
【Hey, Seo Kang-rim. Do you want to have a Shinnaerim with me? I’ll do it for you!】
The gods’ reactions were the same both when I was in the educational facility and when I left.
Those guys who blindly insist on having a god descend upon us.
But things have changed since then.
“With my mouth closed?”
【what?】
“That ransom is expensive. Are you planning on taking me without even putting down a deposit?”
In most cases, people are anxious because they can’t receive the divine blessing, but in my case, things were different.
I have no intention of receiving divine intervention.
So, it was the gods who were left feeling sorry.
I could feel the gods being taken aback by my reaction.
【Are you trying to make a deal with us now?】
【The human subject is sticking out of the stomach.】
【I thought you were being a little strong, but you’re showing off your guts now… …!】
It seemed that many gods were dissatisfied with my response.
Yeah, I guess so.
Before the Day of Awakening, the divine descent was accomplished through violence and intimidation, but now the human rascal demands compensation.
I don’t care if they complain to me.
Anyway, it’s them who will be disappointed.
“If you want to be a god, send me a gift or something.”
After saying that, I manipulated the settings of the wireless communication.
After reaching level 30, my spiritual powers have gotten stronger, so I can control my non-fire communication to some extent.
[Some unpaid communications are blocked.]
It wasn’t a complete banishment of the gods, but rather a sort of muting function.
I’m sure they’re swearing at me right now because of my attitude, but I can’t hear them, so it doesn’t matter.
If you use an item to brighten your life and send a message, that’s fine.
Anyway, I was satisfied that things became quiet around me.
The voices of the gods were not audible, and the demons were somewhat pacified, so I got up from my seat.
… … No, it’s a little less organized.
“Why do you keep following me?”
I spoke to the people gathered nearby.
I saw those who had been watching my movements from a distance flinch.
They were people from a sect I had never heard of, whether it was the formless or nameless sect.
The man who introduced himself as Moonju said.
“It’s not that we’re following you, it’s that you’ve already gone down the path we’re on!”
“Then you go first.”
“… … I’ll be there in a bit!”
After unintentionally saving them at the fork in the road just now, the intangibles have been following me around.
It wasn’t really bothering me, and I was just killing some rascals nearby, so I just left it alone… … .
It was difficult to chase after him any longer.
There is no choice but to ignore them to some extent.
I got up from my seat and started moving forward again.
Then, the members of the Intangible Sect immediately started following me.
I could hear them whispering.
“Is that the wall in the middle the boss room?”
The first thing I saw when I came out of the cave was a huge stone wall.
A wall that surrounds something in a circular shape, almost like a tower.
As they suspected, there was a boss inside.
“Seogangrim, you seem like a pushover, contrary to what you say… … No, you seem like a good-natured person, since you didn’t even try to ignore us.”
“If I do well, I think I might even be able to go to the boss room.”
I walked towards the center while listening to their stories.
As I was moving forward silently, as I entered the forest, demons appeared in front of me again.
It had the appearance of a giant lizard.
-Shhh!
The demons bared their serrated teeth and made threatening noises.
The intangible members at the rear didn’t seem particularly nervous, perhaps because they thought I would stop them.
I think it would be better to be nervous.
[The ability ‘Hermit’ is activated!]
As soon as I held my breath, ‘Hermit’ was activated.
When I disappeared, I saw the demons and the members of the Intangible Sect panicking at the same time.
“What, what? Where did Seo Kang-rim go?”
“It was definitely here… … !”
As soon as they lost sight of me, the demons who had been looking around immediately looked for their next target.
The lizards rushed at the invisible wave, making a squeaking sound.
I was letting my guard down and ended up getting my arms and legs bitten off.
“Ugh, eww!”
“Everyone, quickly put your weapons up!”
“Seo, Seo Kang-rim, this bastard used us as bait… …!”
While they were screaming and fighting the demons, I got out of the way first.
The demons will probably treat you well.
After I released the hermit, I looked around.
I checked the geography of this area by recalling memories from my past life.
Now if you go straight you will reach the boss area… … .
I turned my foot and headed to the right.
-Rustle, rustle… … .
Following the traces I remembered, I headed into the forest.
The path ahead was blocked by thorns, as if even a demon could not walk on it.
I moved forward, silently cutting the vines.
When I first came to conquer the Great Demon Sutra in my previous life.
Several gods rushed at the boss, but they were all defeated and retreated.
Even Shin Soo-ah and Dokgo Jun were difficult opponents to deal with.
In this way, people have failed to conquer the Demonic Realm many times.
The first great demon sect remained unconquered for over a month.
While Shin Soo-ah was holding a strategy meeting about how to attack, I raised one question.
[Now that I think about it, there’s something that’s bothering me.]
[What are you worried about? What is it?]
[Why is the Daema-gyeong divided into three sections?]
At first I thought it was simply to disperse power.
But eventually, all areas were connected to the boss’ room.
While others brushed aside my questions, Shin Soo-ah listened carefully and figured out the reason.
-Pasasak… … .
I finally found it.
After wandering through the rough forest path, I finally found what I was looking for.
As we pushed through the bushes and headed inside, we came across a strange mechanical device.
It looks like it has been left for a long time, entangled in ivy.
I slowly approached the device.
And at that moment, a warning message popped up.
[‘Blue Devil’ has detected an intruder!]
As we entered the area, the trap began to activate as expected.
The armor lying nearby began to move with a squeak, then rose into the air and began to take shape.
[The ‘Precious Blue Ghost’ has appeared!]
The devil of the highest quality, the blue and red ghost.
It was a rather burdensome opponent to fight alone.
But before I despaired at that fact, I was delighted.
The Blue Demon is a humanoid demon.
That means I can steal that guy’s fate too.
