Episode 243

Demon World (1)

In the basement of the guild house, individual training rooms spread out like tree branches centered around a huge sparring hall where joint training can take place. This place is designed for personal training.

In individual training rooms, heroes called by level were teaching Triple S guild members.

Two hours a day.

It was a short time, but it was a very short time for the Triple S guild members. A week passed quickly and everyone achieved their own results.

First, Seo-yoon Yoon.

The blonde girl who was in charge of her was none other than Joan of Arc. She possessed the rare talent of being a <saint> and there was no teacher more suitable for her.

“Do you understand? The talent called <Saint> is a talent that grows based on ‘faith’. The more your faith grows, the more your talent as a <saint> blossoms. Of course you believe in the Lord faithfully, but you must believe in the Lord even more than now… yes? “You don’t believe me?!”

Nod.

“How can that be? However, your <Saint> is really showing off its power… Oh, maybe this is wrong, but you believe in a god other than the Lord?”

“no. “I am an atheist.”

“Oh my God. Look down on this Lamb. I want to let you know about God’s infinite love, but… I know that is not my role right now, so I will postpone it until another opportunity. Anyway, this is a strange thing. Without ‘faith,’ there is no way that the talent of <Saint> could fully bloom.”

It’s faith.

Seoyoon was lost in thought for a moment at the girl’s words. She said she was an atheist. He had never even been interested in religion in the first place, so there was no way he could believe in God.

However, if you ask me to name a believer, there was only one person.

The man who brought me out of the closet where I was just breathing, turning my back on the world.

Seo-yoon was about to say something that came to her mind, but quickly closed her mouth. He was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Joan of Arc continued speaking, not caring whether she did not see Seoyoon’s attitude or whether she was pretending not to notice.

“Umm… I don’t understand, but the important thing is that you can use the power of the <Saint>. I will teach you how to fight using the power of the <Saint> as much as possible. “I pray in the name of God that this will be of help to this contradictory world where non-peaceful methods must be used to maintain peace.”

“thank you.”

While Seoyoon and Joan of Arc had a peaceful training time centered on conversation, the training of the rest of the guild members was truly terrible.

In the case of sea food.

It was okay at first. Because Haesik’s teacher was a person of equal character to Joan of Arc. The large man looked around Hae-sik’s body and laughed as if he was satisfied.

“A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. In that sense, you must have a good spirit. It’s a very well polished body. He must have walked the path of asceticism. “Please help me improve a little further.”

“Okay, thank you. I will do my best.”

“The main weapon used is a shield? That’s great. “It is a weapon that can only be wielded by brave men who are willing to take on enemy attacks on the most dangerous front lines for their allies.”

Haesik scratched his head as if he was somewhat embarrassed by the man’s compliment. However, Haesik was taken aback by the man’s next words.

“But unfortunately that is not my specialty. “I was interested, but there was something more appealing to me.”

“yes? “Then why me?”

“Isn’t that because of the intention of the person who called me here? “What I will teach you is how to fight using your bare body.”

In fact, the guild member who worried the most about training methods was Haesik.

Haesik is a tanker. Of course, holding on using a shield is his main weapon. A position that draws the opponent’s attention, withstands the opponent’s attacks, and creates opportunities for allies. It was an important position that was absolutely indispensable in team battles.

However, this means that unless it is a team battle, Haesik’s power is almost useless. It was arrogance to think that one could always fight with guild members in the demon world. In the worst case, everyone might have to split up and survive.

For this reason, Jeong Do decided to teach <Bak Fighting Art> as a personal combat method rather than <Shield Art>. Haesik was not very good at fighting with weapons.

The problem is the teacher who will teach you <Baktujutsu>… This is the part that Jeongdo struggled with the most.

The first candidate that came to mind was ‘Hercules.’

Since he was the strongest warrior in Greek mythology, I thought he was the perfect person.

However, after loading him on the album, Jeong Do immediately excluded him from the nominations. Hercules’ ‘teaching ability’ was the worst of the worst.

– huh? How do you fight with your bare hands? That’s easy. All you have to do is run quickly, grab the enemy, and then strangle them or bend their spine. It’s okay to bend your arm in the opposite direction. Anyway, it’s all a good method.

“… … .”

How easy is this? Same statement.

It was like that. He was born with an overwhelming body, and the concept of ‘skill’ was meaningless to him. If you just ran and hit it, everything would go away, so it was only natural.

Because of that, Hercules was eliminated from the candidate group. However, if you load a similarly powerful anti-soo, this person’s personality is half the difference. In the end, I tried a new drawing.

And only after emptying three bottles of elf tears was I able to load the character with the desired conditions. An ancient Greek philosopher with a perfect balance of knowledge, virtue, and character.

Plato.

A disciple of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle.

Although many people knew him as a philosopher, Plato was actually also famous for ancient wrestling (pankration). The ancient Greeks believed that an outstanding scholar must have outstanding physical abilities, and the person at the peak of this belief was Plato.

He said to Haesik as he threw away his top.

“We don’t have time, so let’s proceed quickly. Don’t worry. Even after all this, he has taught countless warriors. “There are plenty of tricks for infusing physical skills with attributes.”

There were no theory classes or anything like that.

Plato’s theory was, ‘If you hit, your body will react, and if you fold, your brain will open.’ It was an ignorant method that could not be imagined by someone who is said to be the greatest intellectual.

“Kwaaaa!!”

But the effect was clear.

Pankration is a martial art so violent that it is called the origin of modern mixed martial arts. It was a practical martial art in which all fighting methods except scratching, eye poking, and biting were allowed, and Haesik truly experienced a new world. In proportion to Hae-sik’s scream, his combat proficiency increased surprisingly.

And when it came to Cú Chulainn

“help me! “I survived at best, so why do I have to experience this hell again?”

“Setanta. It’s ugly, so stop and accept it. “It was a pity that I couldn’t teach you perfectly, but now I have another opportunity.”

“Save me… No, I’d rather kill you. Damn it, I can’t even commit suicide because of Geass… “Aaaah!”

… I erased my memories of witnessing such a terrible scene. Yes. You didn’t see anything.

In Ryu Se-rin’s case, there was no need to find a separate teacher. She passionately wanted to receive instruction from Cheok Jun-gyeong, and Cheok Jun-gyeong nodded her head easily. She is probably the person who stimulates Cheok Jun-kyung’s nostalgia among Triple S guild members. It seems that the Bukdu sword method she used existed even during the Goryeo Dynasty when Cheok Jun-gyeong was active.

And Yoo Seon was taught by Jeong Do himself.

Most of Yoo Seon’s talent was received from Lee Do. Of course, Jeong Do knew best how to use and fight with all those talents. After handing the old version of the King of All Diseases to Yoo Seon, Jeong Do sparred every day.

puck!

“Ugh!”

Yu-seon, who had been hit by the baton, rolled around on the floor, complaining of pain. Jeong Do watched him for a moment, then placed the baton on his shoulder and said.

“wake up. “It’s what Yuseon wanted.”

“Well, I know it well even if you don’t tell me. Confucius. Phew.”

Yuseon, who had been hiding behind in fear of pain, was no longer there. Although he still had the habit of involuntarily closing his eyes when an attack came, he did not run away. He was learning the battle at a very fast pace. Indeed, it was <Thousands of All Things>.

“But Confucius. “I don’t know if it’s because of his mood, but it seems like he’s hitting me harder on purpose.”

“… You are mistaken. I think you can do it, but I’ll increase the intensity a little. “Get ready.”

“Ah, okay. “Wow!”

I couldn’t honestly say the extent.

That he did it because he was jealous of the fact that he could eat talent raw without the pain of physical collapse.

So the time for the decisive battle arrived.

* * * * * *

“Then I will leave first.”

“Are you really okay? “Isn’t it better if we go together?”

“Because I don’t know what the environment is like there. “I will set off as an advance guard and summon you once it is safe.”

There was only one person leaving for the Demon World. No, you could ask why he would go out alone after training the guild members at most, but of course he had a part of him that believed in him.

Skill <Calling>.

It was a skill that summoned the opponent to a certain location. If you have shared your name with mutual consent, you can use a small amount of mana to call the other person, ignoring the concept of space. You can force summon it even if you haven’t exchanged names, but in this case it costs an absurd amount of mana. In fact, when Jeong Do used this method on Hae Joon, he was only able to summon him for a few seconds.

“It is right for me, who has a sure means of survival, to go first.”

“hmm. That’s it, but.”

Cheok Jun-gyeong tried to say something, but ultimately held back his words. She acknowledged that the degree was reasonable.

“I’ll see you later then. “Everyone, make sure you’re ready.”

After saying hello to the guild members, Jeongdo opened the gate through Ixia. Unlike the heavenly world, the location of Bokmajeon (伏魔殿), which is called the heart of the demonic world, was not a big secret.

Those who come will not be stopped. We don’t hide.

It was a passage that clearly showed the maddening nature of the demon world.

Support position.

Jeongdo injected mana and crossed the gate. It was finally the beginning of the expedition to the Demon World.

‘It’s a start.’

Jeong Do prepared more than a dozen strategies. The best strategy among them was to take advantage of the demons’ preference for 1:1 battles and draw out a battle.

“Ugh?!”

That plan was shattered as soon as we crossed the gate. A notification window appeared in front of him.

<Trap skill. I was exposed to <forced transition>. You are forced to warp.>

Shook.

Since I never imagined something like this would happen as soon as I crossed the crack, I was slow to react and to some extent, I was caught up in the magic.

And at the place where he was moved by magic, numerous demonic armies were welcoming him.

Ha, you got hit.

I never thought I would prepare this much. It was a thoroughness that was uncharacteristic of demons. The degree quickly explored the surroundings. At least a few thousand. Moreover, each and every one of them was a demon approaching at least S-class.

“I set a trap, but I never thought they would really come. A long time. Calm down too.”

The being who appeared through the numerous crowds of demons was none other than Samjeol Ramon. A demon who can calmly analyze situations and make judgments even among simple, ignorant demons. He was a devil who only had one wing because one of his wings was cut off by Jeong Do.

The degree asked him with an expressionless face.

“Are you alive? The last time we met must have been… “It was in Sgail.”

Sgail.

It was the name of a universe that was colonized by the demon world. Due to Jeongdo’s activities and trespassing into the heavenly world, the demon world was destroyed along with the heavenly world, and Jeongdo was able to safely liberate Sugail.

“I thought you died at the hands of Heaven.”

“no way. Rather, it’s the opposite. “If you want to catch me, you have to send the Archangel.”

“How did you know I would show up?”

“We also have eyes and ears. “Everyone knows that the heavens have already been destroyed.”

“… Right.”

Well, when such a big incident occurred, there was no way it could be kept secret. Ramon smiled happily and continued speaking.

“I was very surprised. Because we thought no one could take it down except us. But then the name that made Demon God and Khaled gnash their teeth came to mind. Yes, it is you too.”

“So, have you prepared this welcome?”

“okay. It was fully predictable that the next target would be us. Do you remember? In Sgail, our demon world was fooled by your guerrilla operation. “You can’t make the same mistake again, right?”

this.

Certainly, Jeong-do was thinking about guerrilla warfare during this expedition as well. When a small number of people are dealing with a large number of people, there is no better strategy than hit and run.

However, Ramon, the demon world’s chief of staff, saw through this and was waiting for the situation in advance.

“I set up a transfer magic so that no matter who transfers throughout the entire Pandemonium, they will come here. Well, what do you think? “If this is the case, we have no choice but to fight head on, right?”

“It certainly is.”

Jeongdo looked around and answered. This is it. I never thought the board would be laid out like this. She thought it was a good thing she came alone. I don’t know about Junkyung Cheok and Cu Chulainn, but other guild members must have had a hard time.

“Ramon.”

“Why are you doing that? If you have something to say, say it to your heart’s content. The strong deserve respect… .”

“I am applying for a daily interview. “Are you going to refuse this time as well?”

“… under. “You got a kick out of this.”

It was the same as before.

Jeong-do asked Ramon, who had invaded Earth, to join him, but he refused. Afterwards, all of them were harpooned by the hand that loaded Richard the Lionheart.

“This is why I don’t like the commander. He can’t run me as he pleases. Calm too. Sorry but my answer is the same. “There is no reason for him to give up his numerical superiority.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

The more I looked at this guy, the less he looked like a demon. Make judgments calmly and rationally. Plus, he seemed to have a good head.

But he was greatly mistaken.

“Ixia. Equipment number 3.”

<Yes! Here!>

A long rod protruded from the ring on my finger. Jeongdo discovered a lot of equipment in Skurakto’s treasure trove, selected it, and stored it in his inventory. But still, a lot of equipment remained.

While I was wondering what to do with this equipment, an unexpected solution appeared: Ixia.

Ixia, which absorbed <Integration>, was reborn as Super Ixia and gained the ability to store equipment. It was also a much larger space than the amount of inventory.

I didn’t entrust it at first. This was because, after seeing her sister having fun eating, I wondered if she might also absorb this equipment.

<Master. That’s rude! I never eat my own kind. The sisters said they didn’t eat it, they absorbed it. Absorb!>

… Although it wasn’t very reliable, I put a few items in it on a trial basis and was able to confirm her excellent storage ability.

Then, all high-performance items were put in, and each piece of equipment was given a unique number. The equipment that was just taken out was the third best equipment in terms of degree.

“Hit!”

“Oooooh!”

The demons rushed towards Jeong-do, and he tightly gripped the baton in his hand. And he swung.

Huh!

“Aaaah!”

“this! Everyone spread out!”

The wind pressure coming out of the pole crushed the demons. Due to the huge wind, a dust cloud was created and began to obscure the view.

Ramon’s illusion is no different.

It was good that they were forced to stop using guerrilla tactics.

But before that, isn’t there something you need to think about first?

“If we fight in an all-out war, do you feel confident that you will win?”

Jeong-do swung his baton in a cloud of dust. Then, suddenly, the pole began to grow longer and hit the demon army.

Quang!

It’s not just the length. The pole, which had increased in thickness and weight, fell in the middle of the demon army. The impact created a large crater.

As the legend goes, it was an incredible performance. It lives up to its name!

However, in Do-do’s opinion, the true value of these treasures is not their performance. Of course, the performance is also incredibly good, but he could have used it for much more powerful purposes.

Jeong Do carried out the <relationship draw>.

Faaah!

A business card falls into my head. It was a gray business card, neither black nor white.

rock.

It was also a business card reminiscent of an incomparably hard stone. The business card was gently absorbed into Jeongdo’s forehead.

thud!

When Jeong-do hit the floor hard with his baton, the ground shattered and fragments flew into the sky. And those countless fragments began to take hundreds of shapes.

“Kiaaaaaaa!”

monkey.

Countless stone monkeys gathered around Jeongdo and screamed all at once. As if in response, a violent voice burst out of Do-do’s head.

<Who dares show hostility to the King of Flower Mountain!>

The most famous monkey in the world and the greatest troublemaker in heaven.

The Jade Emperor, who was enraged by the incident he committed, sent the heavenly army to subdue him, but was defeated.

Jecheon Daeseong (齊天大聖) Son Goku.

“good!”

As Jeong-do brandished his baton and shouted, the stone monkeys began to run away at once.

This is how the first battle of Bokmajeon began.
