Episode 453
The investigation team dispatched from Jeongcheonmaeng arrived at the ice palace in just one and a half days.
In the middle of them, wrapped in winter clothes, was a man of enormous size. He was wearing a black long robe and carrying a black long spear on his back.
And those behind him number 33 in total.
Of these, 31 were super-high-level masters, and the remaining one was a mid-level master.
Anyway, out of those 33, only one person stands out.
A young boy who resembles a huge man wearing a black robe and carrying a black spear.
The little boy was shivering in his fur coat. What the hell was going on?
It was when I was looking at you.
A large man approaches.
“Jack Milos, is that right?”
He nodded.
“I am the Black Magic Emperor Xiahou Dun.”
“What is the purpose?”
Xiahou Dun looks around.
Then he changed the subject.
“I really don’t like this situation.”
I tilted my head. What is this?
“But each person has their own circumstances, and if they are circumstances that are difficult to ignore, I think it is right to take action.”
I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
However, thanks to the following situation, I roughly understood it. My brows furrow.
“Do you know that Taegeuk Sword Master Jongunseong is a member of the Jeongpa faction?”
I just didn’t answer. I just quietly slurped down the black tea in my cup.
“There are those who witnessed the moment when you killed Taegeuk Sword Master Jongunseong. They say that you killed Jongunseong ‘unilaterally’.”
Ron’s expression hardened as he stood next to her. He realized what was happening.
“Taegeuk Sword Master Jongunseong was a man who was beyond compare in his ‘goodness’, and even his actions were considered chivalrous without any awkwardness. You who killed such a man for ‘nothing more than a trivial reason’ are the very definition of a devil. Do you disagree with this?”
I ended up laughing. I really burst out laughing.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anything like this.
“Creating an excuse… …? It’s refreshing because it’s been so long.”
I slowly stood up from my seat. I took a step. I walked in front of the large Ha Hou Dun. Ha Hou Dun continued to speak while looking at me.
“You have touched the righteousness. You who call yourself the emperor of a foreign country… … .”
Xiahou Dun could not continue speaking. Because.
Pfft-!!
Because I hit him in the face and he flew far away.
Ron lets out a sigh, and Yu Seol-ha, who had been watching from afar, sneakily crosses her arms.

Oh my.
“Why are you talking so much? You’re saying you’re strong?”
He walked, shaking his arms.
“If you’re just going to babble, why did you learn martial arts? To cook?”
Xiahou Dun, who had flown far away, raises his body and pulls out the spear he had on his back.
Kookung.
A red aura began to emanate from his body.
I looked at it and laughed.
Thump. My heart is pounding.
I was planning to go to Cheonmasingyo today anyway. The reason I came to this continent is to figure out the situation.
Ragnarok is my most powerful enemy at the moment, and even if you just look at the records, he’s strong.
Maybe, no. There is a very high probability that he is stronger than I am now. But I can’t avoid it. The reason I came here is to kill him. But I can’t see him. So I have to find traces. One of those clues is the Cheonma Shingyo.
The name of the god worshipped by the Cheonmasingyo is Asura, and Asura is a person who died in the past during Ragnarok.
That is, I was planning to go to Cheonmasingyo today or tomorrow.
I wanted to see the world’s best Cheonma once. But before that.
The situation was such that I could do some warm-up exercises. I just decided to think of it that way.
I wish it had ended there.
* * *
Xiahou Dun thought. It hurts… …
Although he kept emphasizing it, Xiahou Dun really did not like this situation. Man against man.
Each of us holding our own weapons and fighting for our lives. I liked that. I wanted to live and die like that.
But that became impossible.
Because my younger sibling got sick. I have a younger sibling who is my only family and my only one.
The name of the disease the guy has is Gu-eum-jeol-maek.
When cultivating internal energy, the blood vessels in the body through which energy passes freeze.
Those who contract this disease live for at most 10 years after contracting it. They die after suffering from it for a long time. In some cases, it is a congenital disease, but in others, it is acquired.
Xiahou Dun’s younger brother, Xiahou Ying, was the latter case. And today is the ninth year since his younger brother fell ill with this disease. He is only 18 years old. Without exaggerating, Xiahou Dun knows that he does not have much time left.
The only cure for this disease is to feed the Saengyeongcho. The one who has the Saengyeongcho is the Great Monk Yeomjeon Hwacheon. That is the only Saengyeongcho.
What he wants is for a man named Jack Milos to become a public enemy.
From the beginning, Hwacheon Daesa had no intention of going with the western emperor, Jack Milos. He had no interest in persuading him or making him join his side. He only wanted one thing.
Becoming the best in the world.
Killing the Heavenly Horse and standing tall in the world. That is all that the Great Master Yeomjon Hwacheon thinks about. That is why his actions are surprisingly simple. You could say he is old-fashioned, but to put it simply, he is simple.

But there is a conspiracy to stick to that simple method. The conspiracy is elaborate. It is disgusting.
Xiahou Dun turned his head.
His gaze was directed towards the Cheongeomdae, the security group of the Jeongcheonmaeng. Among them, the man behind his younger brother.

That man is Joo Se-jong, the 3rd captain of the Cheongeomdae.
염존의 개새끼였고 저놈에게 생령초가 들려 있다.
Zhou Sejong noticed the meaning behind Xiahou Dun’s gaze.
What Yan Zun wanted was for Xiahou Dun to fight that man. To fight and die.
King Sejong knows very well what kind of person Heukma Changje was in the past.
Mad dog. The dog that is crazy about fighting is the Black Demon.
That Black Magic Emperor was what Yan Zhen wanted. That belligerence, that desire to become stronger than he is now.
I thought it would be really good to put it down and use it. But that younger sibling got caught in the nine-syllable stenosis.
In order to cure, you need a life-giving herb. Yeomjon had that life-giving herb. He wanted to swing the Black Magic Spear with it, but failed. Nine years passed like that. Those nine years. The Black Magic Spear searched for another life-giving herb and failed.
When he went to the salt maker and asked for the herb of life, King Sejong knew what happened when he knelt down and prayed. This was because he heard it directly from the salt maker.
He said this.
‘Do you know what I was thinking at that time?’
‘I don’t know.’
‘I had this thought. This isn’t the Black Magician I knew.’
‘… … .’
‘The light has gone out, and the mad dog that seemed untameable was actually not a dog at all, but just a common bug on the street. So I don’t want to keep it anymore. I’ve lost interest.’
As he plucked an orchid from the garden, Yan Zhen said:
‘I thought about using him in the war of the Pure and Demonic Realms that I was going to start. But that wouldn’t work. In the fight where I would become the best in the world, there is no place for Xiahou Dun. The place for Xiahou Dun to be would be to simply withdraw before the war of the Pure and Demonic Realms. That would be the most appropriate place.’
The broken orchid crumbles and scatters into powder.
‘Xiahou Dun will fight that man. He will have faith that even if he dies, the one and only Life Herb in the world will heal his younger brother. But it’s been nine years. Nine years.’
Yeomjeon laughed.
‘During those nine years, I made a mistake with one person. I paid the price. I held my anger in and held my chest. But what price did Xiahou Dun pay?’
Although he didn’t show it, Joo Se-jong felt goosebumps. Yeom-jon’s smile was still bright. He said.
‘Kill his brother on the spot. Isn’t that the price he should pay?’
I opened my closed eyes.
After that, King Sejong took two actions.
First, take out the life-giving herb from your bosom.
Xiahou Dun’s eyes changed. The emperor in the west who was watching also changed his eyes.
And King Sejong continued his actions.
He drew his sword and aimed it at the neck of Xiahou Dun’s younger brother.
Xiahou Dun glared at him with a crumpled expression.
“… … What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
Joo Se-jong laughs bitterly.
“The Black Demon Spear Emperor Xiahou Dun, who defeated the previous leader, the Emperor Yu Seong-hak, and obtained the title of Emperor, the deal you made with the leader was probably this. ‘Go to the Ice Palace and fight the madman who calls himself the Emperor. The moment the battle is set, I will give you the Life Herb.’ However, the content has changed now.”

A deep smile appears on the man’s lips.
“’Die right there. The moment you die is the only moment you can have the Herb of Life.’”
Xiahou Dun tightly shuts his eyes.
It’s a look that even he himself didn’t expect.
“Brother… … .”
Xiahou Dun shook his head at that soft voice. His teeth clenched.
“I knew that Master Yeomjon Hwacheon’s ambition was to be the best in the world. I knew that… … but I didn’t know he was this trash.”
Xiahou Dun’s body turned around. His momentum was directed at Zhou Sejong. It was a strong murderous intent. He was determined to kill him, to kill him no matter what.
But Joo Se-jong was relaxed.
The sword in his hand lightly cut into Xiahou Dun’s younger brother’s neck. Xiahou Dun’s body froze.
Joo Sejong said.
“You still don’t understand the situation? Surely you don’t think this is a dilemma?”
All of the Heavenly Swordsmen surrounding Zhou Sejong drew their weapons. Zhou Sejong looked at Xiahou Dun and said.
“If you rush towards me, I will die. The entire Heavenly Swordsman will die. But I can assure you that this child will die along with you. However, if you rush towards the Emperor in the West, there is a chance that this child will survive. This is not a dilemma… … .”
“What are you guys doing?”
Joo Se-jong couldn’t finish his speech. To be exact, he was cut off midway. Everyone’s eyes turned to one side. The emperor of the west, furrowing his brow. Jack Milos.
“Wow, I’m speechless because this is the first time something like this has happened. Is this what it means to treat someone like a screen?”
In particular, Joo Se-jong was even more flustered. Because as he spoke, Jack Milos’ body disappeared from the spot as if it were smoke.
And that voice came from right next to me.
“Answer me, before I rip your mouth off.”
* * *
To be honest, I never imagined this situation.
I wasn’t interested in the first place, but there’s something like that.
It was something I neither expected nor imagined, but it actually happened, and the situation that arose made me a screen and became a pawn in their plot.
How do you imagine this?
What kind of crazy person, not even a psychopath, would do something like that?
But that’s already happened and looking at the way things are going.
“That bastard named Yeomjon must think I’m a pushover.”
The little punk, who had been looking puzzled, suddenly frowns.
“You cheeky brat-!”
That was it.
He just stretched out his hand.
Crunch.
His wrist is crushed. Before he can scream, my hand is clamped over his mouth.
“I asked if this is what it means to treat a screen like this, so why are you saying something else?”

“Hit it!”
The investigation team from the surrounding political faction rushed in. No, they tried to rush in.
The other hand remains clenched.
Wow-!!
The air is torn apart and mana is torn apart.
The drones that were rushing in collapsed on the spot.
Thud-thud.
Silence sets in. I ended up laughing.
