Return of God (6)
While taking the test this time, I opened two doors.
The first time was when I opened the door opened by the old man and came in, and the second time was when I opened the door to the entrance hall. Every time I was very surprised.
And this time, as always, I was surprised.
I felt like I was going to be pushed hard from the start, so I braced myself and opened the door, but an unexpected sight unfolded.
The table was set and one person was sitting. It was the old man from the Demon God Castle.
“Are you here?”
“Elderly?”
“Come here. “Let’s have a drink.”
“yes.”
Even though I approached him with a dazed mind, I didn’t let down my guard. He could have been a devil in the form of an old man.
But as I got closer, I could tell. I was really sure it was the old man. The old man’s prayer was not something that someone could disguise and make up.
“You worked hard to get here.”
“no.”
I had a refreshing drink. It really felt like the fatigue went away in an instant.
“How was it?”
“Honestly, I thought that by this age there would be no more new realizations. However, while fighting against demonic forces over and over again, I gained many insights.”
“Yes, learning never ends.”
“yes.”
“Now you have to make a decision. Should I go up there, or should I walk out that door?”
There was a staircase on one side leading up. On the other side, there was a door that just led outside.
“If you go up there, you will become a demon god.”
“The enemies will be waiting. We must fight for our lives more intensely than before. But I think you can get through it.”
This time my eyes turned to the opposite door.
The old man continued speaking calmly.
“If you go out there, you’ll be giving up your path to becoming a demon. But you can only get out of that path by fighting and surviving. “Responsibility comes with both choice and giving up.”
“I thought I had to either become a demon or die.”
“Is that possible? Even though the demon god is a god belonging to the evil god, he is definitely a god. “It’s something you can’t force by pushing its back.”
To avoid death, he took the Demon God’s test.
But I still couldn’t make a decision.
“Can I, this indecisive person, become a demon god?”
“What great thing did you see in the dark god you killed?”
I couldn’t answer for a moment.
“But someone will find something so great in that dark god that they would be willing to sacrifice their soul for it. “They are the ones looking in the opposite direction from where you are looking.”
“You’re saying it doesn’t matter what I am.”
“The problem between God and humans has always been… … “Humans are the problem.”
But this problem was not between me, who would become God, and humans.
It was a problem between me and my people.
“If you become a demon god, you will be able to easily solve real-life problems. But if I don’t become a demon, I’ll have to fight as a human.”
The old man’s words were meaningful. It occurred to him that his blood god may have already descended. Will I be able to fight God again and win?
“Does it matter to you what choice I make?”
“That’s right. “Just use your own judgment and make your own decision.”
I was lost in thought for a moment.
It was not a problem that could be resolved by giving a lot of time.
In this life, I have realized how important change is. I found new happiness in that change.
However, if you live an eternal life, you will not experience change, but the opposite value, ‘repetition’.
Maybe I had already made up my mind.
Eventually I spoke to the old man.
“I am… … This one chance is enough. I am satisfied with this one life again. While living as a Byeokridan, I have met many people I like. Parents, loved ones, friends, even subordinates who consider my life. “I want to live and grow old with them.”
The old man smiled unexpectedly.
“is it?”
“sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize to me. “Because each person makes their own choice.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“What happens in this world is unpredictable. Someday, as time passes, the person who inherits your martial arts skills may be tested by the Demon God.”
“Haha, if that’s the case, he might use Igigeo Swordsmanship with nine swords.”
It was something I said about my martial arts skills, Hwangeomcheonpok. Because it was a martial art that was unleashed with nine swords floating in the air.
Then the old man smiled meaningfully.
“Yeah, maybe.”
It was said as a joke, but it may not have been a joke.
My martial arts skills are refined by someone’s hands, I go down again, the disciple raises a disciple, and the disciple gives birth to a child. If you go down, transcending spirit and evil, you will have another name and may become a martial artist who can demonstrate the nine Igigeo sword techniques. Also, he might become a demon.
“I hope he is braver and more determined than me.”
“ha ha ha. Let’s hope so.”
The old man said with a laugh.
“But no one can tell who will be happier. Even me.”
These were very meaningful words, but they were words I couldn’t understand. At least for me, it was something from a very distant future that never happened.
“Okay, let’s go now.”

I stood up and bowed my head politely to the old man.
“Thank you so much.”
“Please be happy.”
He held out his hand.
I held the old man’s hand with gratitude.
Then something surprising happened. The Danjeon is filled with internal energy.
The old man said as he looked at me surprised.
“You may not be able to live an immortal life, but your inner strength will not dry out throughout your life.”
“Elderly?”
I was really surprised.
“Giving up the demon spirit also showed great courage. “It is my gift for your courage.”
What the old man gave me was not a skill. It was like he gave me my life. If my strength never dries up, what kind of enemy would I lose to?
I bowed deeply to the old man. When he got up again, the old man was already gone.
Standing in front of the door, I took another deep breath.
If you open this door, another surprising sight may unfold.
But even though I’m surprised, I won’t turn back. We will continue to open doors, open other doors, and move forward like that. Because that is the life given to us. Even though I am not returning as a demon, I thought that I might be returning as some other god who watches over and protects my life.
I slowly opened the door.
What was waiting for me beyond the door until the last moment was a surprise itself.
A huge square with no end in sight.
There were a huge number of warriors there. At first glance, there were tens of thousands of people. They were all dressed in blood-red clothes.
Everyone near the door looked at me. Hundreds of eyes flew in at once. They were different from the previous demon armies. They were people who radiated blood not only in their clothes but also in their energy.
Red blood rising from the eyes.
They were not humans, but monsters in human form. I could tell that they were blood soldiers, servants of the blood god.
I finally came out of the Demon Lord’s testing ground and now my reality has unfolded.
Intense killing and killing thoughts flying towards me.
“Where are you going, with all these dogs gathered together like this?”
The murderous intent towards me became more intense.
I spoke softly while holding the Sura Myeongwang Sword.
“I’m sorry, but your outing today is canceled!”
The Sura Myeongwang’s sword split the air.
I love you so much.
The sword energy emitted from the sword swept away the guys in front of me.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssww!
Dozens of blood soldiers fell to the ground with their bodies split apart.
As long as I had enough inner strength, I was confident that I would not lose to anyone. Even if they are the blood god’s minions.
The blood soldiers standing behind all rushed towards me. Of course, not all of those guys could rush in. Because the end wasn’t even visible to the eye.
Shhh!
Sssssssssssssshhhh!
With the second sword, their bodies were separated again and swept away. The third and fourth sword energy flew out in succession.
After reaching great heights in demonic determination, gaining another enlightenment here in the testing room, and once again displaying my sword skills to the extreme, my sword skills were no ordinary sword skills. Nothing could stop it.
They blocked it with their swords and unleashed their sword energy to block it.
However, any metal objects were cut, and swords were also cut. Even those wearing armor and those who had learned external attacks were all cut down.
He exercised his light attack to his heart’s content along with his sword skills. It was literally flying around. Throughout the Demon God’s test, he was resolving all his regrets about not being able to show off his skills here.
In my entire life, I have never fired my sword at my enemies so coolly. There were many enemies, and my strength did not dry up.
When I completely swept the surroundings and widened the distance between them, this time the Surama King Sword flew into the air.
Sssssssssssut.
In an instant, the sword split into nine pieces.
Swish, swish, swish!
Slam, slam, slam!
Hwangeomcheonpok was unleashed. The sword of sword energy flew while constantly spinning, and the sword energy created quickly kept pace with the speed of the attack.
Explosive power has also become much stronger than before. Enemies were flying around in blood clots everywhere.
“ah!”
I felt joy. I felt what it was like to have endless inner strength that never dries up, and how fantastic it was to be able to endlessly demonstrate such formidable martial arts with that overflowing inner strength.
Because so many blood armies were gathered in one place, dozens of them were blown to bits at once.
If they were people, it wouldn’t have been easy to kill them like this, no matter how evil they were. However, these were not humans, but blood beasts that followed the blood god.
Boom! Boom! Kwaaaang!
Because there were so many of them, there were people who escaped the explosion of the Hwangeomcheonpok and attacked me.
I changed my diet again. Since my strength did not dry up, there was no hesitation in attacking.
This time the surroundings became dark.
Shootaaaaaaa!
The rain of sword energy began to fall. Even for them, Demon Sword Hyeolwoo was hell.
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!
Hundreds of blood soldiers turned over and fell down at the same time.
I dug into the crowd with the Demon God Bullet.
And then there’s the Demon God Blood Woo that follows.
Although human life is unpredictable, at least we can be sure of one thing. From now on, I will never use my martial arts skills so passionately.
I didn’t miss a single one. Because one guy here is going to go out and kill ten strongmen.
Shoot!
If it wasn’t real rain, there was a river flowing there.
It was a river of blood.
* * *
When the Heavenly Lantern began to open, everyone trembled with fear.
Gal Sa-ryang closed his eyes tightly.
Even without looking, I could now guess what was going to happen. Because I knew very well what kind of person Cheon So-seon was and what kind of being the blood god was.
Baekpyo sent him a message. Now he felt that the end was not far away.
-It was truly an honor to be able to serve you so far.
-It was an honor to be with you.
-It’s a pity that I won’t be able to see my lord in the end.
-I hope to see you again in the next life.
-Yes, soldier.
They were more worried about those who remained than about themselves dying.
Gal Sa-ryang made eye contact with Song Hwa-rin, who was being held across from him.
She was unexpectedly calm. In fact, her heart grew in many ways while she was with Byeokri Dan. She, too, is probably organizing these last moments well in her own way.
Gal Sa-ryang thought of his wife, who was still dreaming of newlyweds, and Baek-pyo also thought of his wife and son Myeong-myeong.
If only they could save them by dying. There wasn’t much chance of that happening.
Baekpyo used all his strength to save Song Hwa-rin. It might not be easy, but I had to save my lord’s wife, even if no one else knew.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Heavenly Ran opened. A tremendous smell of blood poured out. Everyone was terrified.
Chen Xiaoxian laughed loudly and shouted.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Come out! “My soldiers!”
At that moment, there was silence.
Originally, this was a moment when 100,000 blood armies should have walked out in unison, but in Heavenly Ran, no one came out.
“What on earth are you doing?”
As soon as I started yelling, someone walked out of Cheonran.
The person who walked out holding the Sura Myeongwang sword dripping with blood was none other than Byeokridan.
The sight beyond the last door was not a surprise, but the sight of people whom he had missed so much waiting for him.
“you!”
Cheon So-seon opened her eyes as if they were torn apart.
“How did you get there? “What happened to the blood groups?”
Byeokridan raised his sword. Blood dripped from the Sura Myeongwang Sword.
“Don’t be a rip-off!”
Cheon So-seon couldn’t believe it. The number of blood groups reached a whopping 100,000 people.
But they all suffered?
Byeokridan looked back at the people looking at him with a very surprised face.
Father and mother, Song Woo-kyung, Song Hwarin, Gal Sa-ryang, Baek Pyo, and all other subordinates.
He bowed his head politely and said to those whom he had missed so much.
“Forgive me for being late. “I’m back now.”
martial arts,
