“No! There is something wrong with this! God, please take away the scales!”
Seong Ui-gyeol cried out earnestly, but the judgement was stern.
As if he had chains on his arms and legs, the movements of the penalized Seong-ui-gyeol were noticeably slower.
-Goooooo!
In comparison, Geumgang Yeoksa became even more violent as if venting his anger and pushed forward with the Seongui Gyeol.
Seong Eui-gyeol, who received Geumgang Yeoksa’s fist with his whole body, vomited blood.
“Cough!”
I felt relieved when I saw it.
Meanwhile, Seong Ui-gyeol glared at me while bleeding profusely.
“This coward… …! You’re not even going to help me!”
I knew it was stupid, but it’s even dumber than I thought.
Did you think I would spare you when you attacked me?
While I was leisurely watching the scene, a voice was heard from the cuff.
“[Mr. Kangrim, Winter and I are nearby.]”
“Understood. Jang Tae-heon, Yoon Bom. Turn the device back on.”
“[yes!]”
As the device restarted, the bluish aura surrounding the Geumgang History Hall disappeared.
Still, Geumgang History was in the process of making Seongui Gyeol into a blood cake.
Then, as if he sensed something, he stopped attacking and looked back.
[A more threatening enemy appears, and the attack priority changes!]
“Mr. Kangrim, are we too late?”
More threatening enemies, Shin Soo-ah and Yoon Gyul-wool, were walking towards them.
I stood up, chewing and swallowing the restorative medicine.
“No. It’s just the right time. I think all I have to do is finish it.”
“Just rest for a moment. I’ll take care of it.”
Geumgang Yeoksa walked towards Shin Soo-ah and Yoon Gyul-wool, dripping blood.
Even after seeing that, Shin Soo-ah’s expression was cold.
At that moment, her eyes sparkled sharply and her power was activated.
[The ability ‘Mokyeopjibeop’ is activated!]
As soon as those words were spoken, tree trunks stretched out from all directions and engulfed Geumgang Yeoksa’s limbs.
I struggled but the stem did not break.
Shin Soo Ah was strong, and since I had already destroyed her once, it seemed like she had no magic left.
“Let’s finish it when Bom and Taeheon come.”
We waited until the rest of the group joined in and then took the life out of Geumgang Yeoksa.
Then a notification window appeared before my eyes.
[The first Demonic Mirror has been conquered!]
[The names of Seo Kang-rim, Shin Soo-ah, Yoon Gyul-woo, Yoon Bom, and Jang Tae-heon are spreading far and wide!]
[The awareness of the Guardian Spirit of the corresponding Mansin increases!]
[Additional rewards will be given to the biggest contributor, Seo Kang-rim!]
“Phew… … .”
I let out a long breath after checking the reward notification.
Although I managed to clear it somehow, it was difficult in many ways.
In the meantime, people came up to me and spoke to me with worried faces.
“Master, are you okay? You’re hurt so badly… …!”
“Brother. Did you get hit by the boss? By the way, who is that guy? He’s lying there, dying… … .”
There was a sign of the covenant where Jang Tae-heon pointed.
He was coughing and breathing hard.
I gave a brief explanation.
“It’s like an assassin sent from Suramun to kill me.”
“An assassin… …?”
“I’m not an assassin! I’m just here to reform sinners!”
Seong Ui-gyeol shouted in a husky voice, as if he still had some energy left.
Shin Soo-ah was looking down at Seong Ui-gyeol with cold eyes.
“I guess it was sent from Suramun. Did they tell you to kill Kangrim?”
“I was only asked to rehabilitate him. If Seo Kang-rim admits his sins and enters the Asura Gate, I will forgive him… … . Eww!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tree trunk grabbed Seong-ui-gyeol and dragged him away.
Even though the tied-up Seong-ui-gyeol struggled, Shin Soo-ah didn’t even glance at him.
She looked at me and said sorry.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kangrim. You had a hard time because of me.”
“No, it’s okay.”
I had somewhat expected that Shin Ara would take action.
Because in my past life, I have been a nuisance in many ways.
I spoke to the people.
“Have you received all your compensation?”
“Yes, Master! Wow, I got that great item… …!”
“Me too, Master! The Great Demon Sutra is truly on a different level!”
Seeing everyone’s faces brighten, it seemed like they had a satisfactory result.

I was like that too.
I checked the rewards I received.
[As a reward for conquering the Great Demonic Realm, you have obtained 50,000 Spirit Jade, the Boundary Line of Life and Death, and a Curse Tracker!]
What I got was a black coat and a ring with a red gem.
I thought I would have succeeded if I got either one, but I never thought I would get both.
I checked the coat first.
═══════════════
[Item] The boundary between life and death
[Rank] Shinsampum (God’s Three Grades)
[Description] Equipment imbued with the power of the gods. It boasts outstanding effects even in normal times, but shines even brighter in times of crisis.
If the target wearing it is in a dying state, any incoming attack will be reflected back with a 99% probability.
═══════════════
The first divine item to appear in the Daema-gyeong, the boundary line of life and death.
It is light, has high defense, and is immune to most fire and electric attacks.
But the ability I like the most is the attack reflection.
My special ability, ‘Roar of the Palace’, can exert great power momentarily, but it has the disadvantage of only being able to be activated when on the verge of death.
A high-risk, high-return ability that involves risking one’s life.
But if you’re on the borderline between life and death, it’s a different story.
It reflects all attacks with a 99% probability, making it nearly invincible.
There is a 1% chance of failure, but still, there is no armor as good as this.
And another item is a ring called Curse Tracker.
If you are literally cursed by someone, you can find out who it is.
In my previous life, I often got sick or suffered misfortune for no reason.
What if it was because of someone’s curse?
And what if the person who placed that curse was Baek Young?
This item could provide a clue.
“It seems like everything is sorted out, so shall we go out?”
I nodded at Shin Soo-ah’s words.
At that time, Jang Tae-heon looked at the scattered Seong Ui-gyeol and said.
“What should I do with this kid?”
Seong Ui-gyeol was quietly watching us.
With a look of apparent injustice.
He was a man who showed no signs of reflection.
As I approached him, Seong-ui-gyeol flinched in surprise and shrugged his shoulders.
“Are you trying to kill me? You villain of the world!”
“not really.”
There is little benefit to me in killing Seong-ui-gyeol here.
Stealing the ability would help a little, but there would be a lot of eyes watching and the karma would pile up, so I don’t really want to get blood on my hands.
“Since there are many witnesses anyway, the Fate Protection Agency will arrest you for attempted murder.”
“What, what?! You’re arresting me, the enforcer of justice?! That can’t be happening!”
Seong-ui-gyeol, who was screaming loudly, looked terrified.
For Seong Ui-gyeol, who was called the hero of justice, being recorded as a criminal was probably the most fearful thing of all.
I said, looking at that sincerity blankly.
“I would rather go to jail.”
“What? What is that… … .”
Before I knew it, I felt a strong gaze being directed at me from behind.
Dokgo Jun was looking at us.
To be precise, I was looking at the resolution of the case.
He was smiling, but his eyes looked like he was going to kill him at any moment.
“There are people who hate stuffy situations.”
If Sung-ui-gyeol passes safely in this state, the most unacceptable person is Dokgo Jun.
By his standards, the villain who attacked the protagonist goes unpunished.
If left alone, something will happen to Seong-ui-gyeol.
If I go to prison, I might be able to avoid Dokgo Jun.
“If you want to save your life, go to jail yourself.”
Whether he goes to prison or Dokgo Jun touches him, the matter of Seong Ui-gyeol will be resolved.
I left the Great Demonic Cultivation Hall, leaving Seong Eui-gyeol behind with a bewildered expression.
Dokgo Jun was still smiling while looking at Seong Ui Gyeol.
12. When the Nameless God is Born
“You said the first Demonic Mirror was conquered in one go yesterday?”
As soon as I came down to the hotel lobby, I heard people chattering.
In fact, the hotel had been noisy since last night.
I was listening to people’s stories with my hood pulled down low.
“Yeah. I heard it worked on the first try.”
“I thought it would be difficult because it was called the Great Demon Sutra, but it seems that wasn’t the case.”
“No, I think it’s at least at the level of a dragon-level demonic realm!”
They were extremely excited, even though they hadn’t even conquered the Great Demonic Realm.
One person grumbled and said,
“That’s right. I thought I would collapse and die in the middle. If the strategy hadn’t been completed, I might have really died.”
“Is that the person who conquered the Great Demonic Mirror? Seo Kang-rim.”
When I heard my name, I shrugged.
They continued talking excitedly.
“That’s right, Seo Kang-rim. He’s a former trainee.”
“By the way, I heard you’re staying at this hotel… … .”
I was about to head to the restaurant, but then I turned around and got back on the elevator.
I had a feeling that if I went to a restaurant in this condition, I would attract a lot of attention.
I guess I’ll just have to order room service.
As I got on the elevator and headed up, I felt the people inside glancing at me.
“Isn’t that person Seo Kang-rim?”
“It seems right… … .”
At the same time, the elevator door opened.
I guess I’ll have to eat in my room for the time being.
As I was about to return to my room, I heard a loud voice.
“Ah, brother!”
When I looked back, Jang Tae-heon was standing there.
He came to me with a big smile and said.
“I’m lucky. I was just about to pick you up when we ran into each other.”
“You came to pick me up?”
“Yeah. We were just about to get together for breakfast. When we were about to go to the restaurant, people kept talking to us.”
I wasn’t the only one who became famous.
Other, lesser-known figures have also risen to stardom by conquering the Big Bang.
You must be getting love calls from all over the place.
I followed Jang Tae-heon because I had something to talk about related to yesterday’s work.
“Master, you are here!”
When I went inside, everyone was gathered there except me.
Oh, I didn’t see Father John either.
He left his seat after receiving a call from the cathedral he belonged to, but it seemed like the work wasn’t over yet.
Everyone else had bright expressions even though they had fought a big battle yesterday.
Jang Tae-heon said excitedly.
“Hey, bro, have you seen the community? There’s a ton of stories about us!”
“I saw it.”
“I got calls from all over the place in one day! I even got interview requests and stuff.”
Jang Tae-heon seemed quite happy about becoming popular.
Well, it makes sense that they’d be excited.
Shin Soo-ah also spoke as if she was slightly embarrassed.
“I also get contacted. I get a lot of offers to join the sect.”
“So, are you going to join the sect?”
“No. I was thinking of making it… … .”
She thought about it for a moment and then stared at me.
“Does Mr. Kangrim have any plans to create a sect?”
