< No business in Daguri (3) - Savior >
The training center of the Cheonmasingyo religion.
There was not a single ray of light inside. Instead, the space was filled with darkness.
Tsk tsk tsk.
It wasn’t a natural darkness. Originally, there were night lights embedded in the ceiling of the training hall, so that training could be done at night.
but,
‘I can’t hear you.’
The magic flowing out of a man’s body swallowed up all the light in the cave.
‘The voice of the devil···.’
In the middle of the training hall, the leader sat cross-legged like a stone statue. He had his eyes closed and did not move for two days.
For a moment, the leader’s eyebrows trembled.
‘Has the mind… disappeared?’
Sealook.
After three days, the corners of the leader’s mouth moved. He slowly opened his eyes as if waking up from a long sleep and exhaled.
White steam came out of his mouth.
“Phew···.”
It seemed like decades. The leader fought against the demons that came to control his mind from time to time.
-Do you want power?
-Do you want to rule the world?
-Do you want an immortal name?
-Accept me and you will achieve everything!
There have been hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times when I wanted to leave everything to him and be at ease.
Every time, the leader gritted his teeth and endured.
‘It’s not that I didn’t expect Simma from the beginning. Do you think I wasn’t prepared?’
Ever since he decided to conquer the martial arts world on his own instead of waiting for an unseen savior, the cult leader has been learning the art of reverse magic little by little.
Reverse blood magic.
A failed creation by Cheonma Jo-sa while he was creating Cheonma Shingong.
Its power was so great that it surpassed that of the Heavenly Demonic Art, but its side effects were so serious that it was banned.
However, all the past sect leaders knew the secret of the Reverse Blood Magic, and they studied it for a long time, thinking that they would one day be able to eliminate the side effects of the Reverse Blood Magic.
The same was true for the current leader of the Cheonma cult, Cheon Mu-han.
And only now was he sure.
‘I succeeded!’
Cheon Mu-han slowly got up. Sim-ma’s voice was no longer audible. His mind was clear, and his body felt lighter than ever.
“Sseuup···.”
The leader took a deep breath. His chest heaved greatly.
The magic energy that filled the training hall was sucked in through his nose and mouth. As the darkness disappeared, light began to slowly return to the training hall.
With bloodshot eyes, Cheon Mu-han looked up at the ceiling.
“I···. overcame my demons. Hehehehe.”
After three days, the voice coming out of my mouth was completely hoarse.
Half of the leader’s hair had turned white, and the blood vessels in his eyes had burst and turned bloodshot. It wasn’t normal.
“Ku …
But the leader didn’t see his own changed appearance. Even if he had seen it in a mirror, he probably wouldn’t have cared.
Because a crazy person doesn’t think he’s crazy.
“Kukukuku···.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the unbearable pleasure and joy. At the same time, the image of my old and ugly grandfather came to mind.
The leader muttered to himself.
“I am different from that old man. I have subdued the demon. I have eliminated the weakness of the reverse blood magic and made it perfect. For the first time in the history of the new religion···. So I···.”
Round.
The leader’s body rose into the air. The magical energy that bloomed from his body spread out in all directions.
The strength overflowing from my whole body! I felt like I could do anything I set my mind to.
Hehe.
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the leader’s mouth.
“You have truly become the best of all time. Hehehe…”
The leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult stretched his hand toward the ceiling. The black energy that extended from his hand collapsed the ceiling.
-Kwakwakwakwakwang!
The leader flew up above the collapsed ceiling. Hearing the explosion, the warriors of the Cheonmasin Church and the general followers rushed in.
“Church, cult leader?”
“Are you from the training center?”
Groan, groan.
The leader smiled bitterly as he looked at the people gathered like insects at his feet.
“Kukukuku···.”
The magical energy that poured out from his body created dark clouds in the sky.
Lightning struck through the gathering dark clouds.
-Kwarung! Kwarrurung!
Lightning bolts struck the ground one after another. The warriors and disciples screamed and scattered in all directions.
“Eww!”
“It’s lightning!”

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult looked down at the pitiful sight and burst into wild laughter.
“Hahahahahahahaha-!!”
I felt like I had become a god.
At that moment, the leader thought he had become one with Mazda.
“Mazda···.”
Just then, I saw the incarnation of Mazda flying in from the other side.
The girl who was caught. A holy being who broke through the Holy Fire. A proof and promise of God…
“Hahaha. I see. That’s what it was.”
The cult leader now realized why the girl had appeared in front of him that day.
“Mazda chose me. I am the one who···.”
A sinister magic energy flowed out from the eyes of the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult.
“He is the savior.”
The elder and the younger leader came running after hearing the news and looked up at the leader with worried eyes.
The leader of the Cheonma cult, who had seen them all, shouted with all his might so that all the followers could hear.
“I am the savior who will lead you! I am the savior who will conquer the martial arts world and make it our paradise!”
A savior who appears in the scriptures of the Cheonmasingyo religion.
A messenger of God who will appear one day and take them back to paradise.
There was no doubt that he was the savior.
“Hahahahahahaha-!”
The thunderous voice of the leader of the Cheonma cult resonated throughout the Cheonma Sect. The warriors with weak internal energy had to cover their ears with their hands.
After a while, the leader who had landed on the ground walked towards the elder. Lily quickly stood next to the elder.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A huge fire burst into the sky. It was Lily’s warning that she would not let anyone off easy if they attacked the Elder.
The leader pretended not to see the flame. He asked the elder.
“Ready for war?”
“···There is one day left until three days.”
The elder expected the leader to press him to finish preparing for battle right away. But surprisingly, the leader simply nodded.
“Please wait for a day or so.”
The cult leader who said that glanced at Lily, chuckled, and turned around.
The shadow of the cult leader turning around and heading towards the cult leader’s shrine was reflected in the flames in the sky, swaying like the Demon King of Hell.
***
The Cheonmasingyo sect is not only comprised of warriors.
Rather, the number of ordinary believers engaged in business was greater.
They farm in the barren land, hunt, hide their identities, go to the Central Plains to do business, earn money, and bring back food to feed tens of thousands of believers.
“Oh, Mazda···.”
“So that our son can return safely···.”
“Please don’t let my husband get hurt…”
Inside the main shrine of the Cheonmasingyo sect.
Ahead of the departure ceremony, believers with husbands, children, siblings, and parents gathered and prayed.
They all prayed fervently to God for the safety of their families.
“My son. Please come back alive…”
“Please. Please.”
The Battle of Jeongma is a bloody history that has been repeated over and over again.
When the power of the Cheonma Shingyo grew stronger or, on the contrary, when the Murim Alliance grew too large, the Jeongma War would occur.
There have been many wars over the centuries, but never has one power been able to destroy or completely dominate the other.
Everyone knew the history, so the disciples couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
‘This time it’ll be different.’
‘This is a war that even the Incarnation participates in…’
‘I just hope my son comes back safely…’
Outside the temple, the leader was giving a speech to raise the morale of the followers. The followers inside the temple often heard the words “conquering the martial arts world” and “savior.”
It was then that Lily, bored with the inauguration ceremony, entered the temple.
“What are you doing here?”
The startled disciples quickly knelt down and prostrated themselves.
““Meet Mazda!””
Lily was uncomfortable with the behavior of such people.
“Don’t do it. I am a god…”
Kyaaaaah!
[You know you shouldn’t say you’re not a god, right? Even if you tell the truth, do it later. Those people will just get anxious.]
“······.”
At Abraxas’s advice, which was faithful to the role of a scarf as always, Lily ended up changing what she had been planning to say.
“···I am a god, but I am younger, so please do not kneel. Everyone, stand up!”
“Gah, how dare you do that···.”
“We are comfortable like this!”
For those who would not bend their knees until the end, Lily used a last resort.
“I command you in the name of God! Get up! Won’t you get up? Then you will be punished by heaven?”
“Huh!”
The sight of the disciples jumping up was quite a sight. Only then did Lily nod her head, seemingly satisfied.
Lily, with both hands on her hips, looked around at the disciples and spoke seriously.
“Does anyone have any snacks?”
[This little villain···.]
Abraxas looked at Lily with a bewildered expression.
“Well, if it’s okay with you, this…”
A boy about Lily’s age came forward holding a piece of candy.
“thank you!”
Lily put the candy in her mouth and ate it, letting it melt. It wasn’t as sweet as the candy on Earth, but it was still pretty sweet.
“I, Mazda···.”
The boy who had handed over the candy did not turn around, but stood there, mumbling and looking at Lily.
Lily noticed something and muttered with a troubled expression.
“I don’t have money···.”
[Did you plan on doing it?]
The boy said, squeezing his eyes shut.
“That’s not it. Please bless my father so he doesn’t die!”
Fortunately, it was nothing serious. Phew. Lily sighed and nodded.
“What is your father’s name?”
“This is Kang Il-yong!”
The boy told her father’s name and affiliation. Lily pronounced the name clearly.
“Mr. Kang Il-yong won’t die. Don’t worry.”
“Thank you···. Thank you so much···.”
The boy kept bowing down to Lily with tears in his eyes.
It was from that time on that many followers began to gather around Lily.
“Oh, Mazda!”
“My husband’s name is also mentioned just once···.”
“My son is Kang Chang-sik!”
“This is So Tae-ryong!”
In an instant, the followers gathered and surrounded Lily. Among them, there were warm hands offering sweets and rice cakes.
Lily learned martial arts and quickly snatched up the snacks with her fast hands, and said their names one by one.
“Kang Chang-sik! So Tae-ryong! Joo Mo-chang! Ga-geuk-gwan… Wait a minute! There’s too many!”
Lily floated up into the sky. The family of Musa, whose name had not yet been called, looked up at the girl with longing eyes.
Lily spoke to them with confidence.
“Nobody will die, because I will save everyone.”
“···Is this the word of the Savior?”
Someone asked me that.
saver.
It is a being that appears in the scriptures of the Cheonmasingyo religion, and it is written that if you diligently believe in God and wait, a savior will come one day and take everyone back to paradise.
“yes!”
Lily nodded. Lily also read the scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Church. To be exact, she read them to Abraxas, saying that he needed them to act as a god.
[Savior. A being that appears in many religions. Most of the saviors in reality are pseudo-intellectuals···.]
“Are you the kind person who helps poor people?”
[···Yeah. I know what you’re thinking.]
Lily knew only two people like that.
One is Santa Claus.
And another one,
“That’s you, sir.”
Lily spoke with confidence, but the disciples still murmured in anxiety.
“If you say savior, are you talking about the leader?”
“Yesterday, the leader said he was the savior···.”
“But the scriptures say that the savior will come from paradise···.”
Outside, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult was still raising the morale of the warriors. The leader’s thunderous voice echoed throughout the temple.
-Let’s sweep away the hypocrites of the political party!
Wow!
The leader’s voice rang out loud, and the warriors shouted in response.
Feet were stamped, drums were beaten, and the heat of war spread everywhere.
The more this happened, the more worried the families inside the temple became.
Lily wanted to reassure them, so the girl put her index finger to her lips and said,
“Shh. It’s a secret.”
Outside the temple, 20,000 warriors began to advance at once. One of the signalmen sent by the cult leader was seen running to the temple to get Lily.
“You can’t go somewhere else and talk about it. Okay?”
Nodding. All the believers inside the temple waited for Lily to open her mouth.
“Actually, the savior is someone else.”
“!!”
Before the surprised believers could react, Lily flew into the sky and flew away in the direction the warriors were marching.
The signalman who had come to pick up Lily turned around again when he saw the sight.
After they disappeared, a bomb-like reaction erupted among the followers.
“Oh, it’s someone else!”
“So does that mean the savior will really come?”
“Are we going to paradise?”
“That’s ridiculous…”
Lily said it was a secret, but hundreds of people had already heard about it.
‘Who on earth is that savior!’
In this way, the rumor about the savior spread quickly among the remaining followers of the Cheonmasin Church.
***
[This is the chick. Headquarters Eagle! Respond! The damaged chicken has just departed!]
The man sighed at Lily’s communication.
“Where did you come from watching this weird spy drama···.”
Even the code names are all birds.
Chick. Eagle. Broken chicken.
It was a blessing that the martial artists didn’t understand Korean.
[Are you listening Eagle? I just took off, Oba!]
Lily whispered softly into the communicator, perhaps noticing the mood around her.
Whatever the codename, Lily’s role was very important.
Because of their location, the sect leader and elder cannot contact each other often.
The man decided to go along with Lily’s spy game.
“This is the eagle. The chick. Report the situation every five minutes. And did you put a location tracker on the leader’s clothes?”
[I pretended to bless you earlier and put it on my shoulder. Oh no!]
Anyway, the code name chick was good at what she did.
Then Lily spoke in a worried voice.
[But what if people look at me strangely because I talk to myself a lot?]
“It’s okay because you look strange even normally.”
[Ouch! Here comes the fried chicken! I’m going to stop for now! Over!]
Stop-
After confirming that the communication was cut off, the man shook his head and looked back.
Geomseong was standing there smiling brightly.
“How have you been? My disciple said that you were here.”
“Thank goodness you arrived on time. But the two people next to you···”
A large, middle-aged man carrying a sword on his back and a sharp-looking middle-aged man carrying five spears stood on either side of Geomseong.
“Hmm. Is this the guy?”
“It’s pretty good.”
Although he had never seen them in person, he knew who they were.
“···I know you don’t need an introduction. How did you come together?”
The three great kings of the world came together. This was something even a great man could not have expected.
“My younger siblings happened to be visiting and they received the letter you sent them. When I told them I was going to meet Janelle, they were curious and followed me around.”
“That’s big. Please speak carefully.”
“We are also over 130 years old.”
Sword Saint Mo Yong-hon
King of Swords, enemy army
Shinchang (Divine Spear) Majunggi
When the myths of the martial arts world gathered in one place, they gave off an amazing aura.
Of course, that was only for a moment. In the first place, they were not martial artists, but great men. Even among the three greatest warriors in the world, they were nothing more than three extremely strong old men.
The man spoke humorously to King Do and Shin Chang.
“That’s a good thing. If you two could help me, things would be a lot easier.”
“Who cares? Didn’t we say we would help?”
The Taoist king snorted and wiggled his thick eyebrows.
But as the man’s explanation continued, he couldn’t keep being rejected.
“That’s the state of the Cheonma at that time···.”
Shin Chang muttered with a serious expression. He looked at the man with sharp eyes and said.
“So what’s the plan?”
“It’s simple.”
The man smiled brightly.
The original plan was a bit more complicated, but with two more people joining, it became very simple.
“We’ll lure Cheonma here and beat him until he comes to his senses.”
The place where the four people were was a valley surrounded by rocky cliffs.
