Episode 257
Demon Temple (2)
Pakang!
Just before Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword reached the demon, a black curtain blocked Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword. Although he didn’t hit with all his might, it was easily blocked, and Cheok Jun-kyung briefly exclaimed in surprise.
“like. I thought I had lost my mind. “Okay, have you come to your senses now?”
“… … Excuse me. “I saw something a little shocking.”
“okay? When are the beings of the demon world said to be close to death? “Have you changed your mind?”
“Their defeat is not particularly shocking. No, it’s a shock, but now it’s more than that… done. “I don’t think I need to explain it to you.”
When Cheok Jun-gyeong asked whether the demon god had still not recovered from the shock, he spoke in gibberish. It was a level of agitation that would have been very surprising to a being who was familiar with demonic spirits, but the agitation did not last long.
Kiiing!
When the Demon God stretched out his palm in the black curtain, a large stone arrow was shot from behind the Demon God towards Cheok Jun-kyung’s forehead.
“What?”
Cheok Jun-kyung jumped backwards, avoiding the Stone Arrow without difficulty. Just like Cheok Jun-gyeong’s swordsmanship earlier, the stone arrow fired by the Demon God was not launched with the intention of finishing off the opponent.
If I had to give it meaning, it was ‘greeting’.
It was an act of imprinting oneself on the opponent before entering the main game, just like boxers rubbing gloves before starting a match. And in fact, Cheok Jun-gyeong succeeded in turning the devil’s attention towards himself.
“I apologize. I invited a guest and then thought about something else for a moment. But don’t worry now. “From now until the moment your life ends, I will focus on you.”
“There’s no need for you to chase me as a ghost, right? “You can just quietly leave for the afterlife.”
“haha. You don’t lose a single word. “I like it too.”
The demon god said that and got up from the chair.
He glanced at the table, but there wasn’t a single ounce of food on it. Even though Cheok Jun-gyeong swung his sword at himself across the table.
‘That’s fun.’
I think it will definitely be a more interesting fight than before. The demon god thought so in his heart.
“Let’s change seats. Isn’t it just uncomfortable for everyone in such a small place? “It would be better to have a spacious place to show off my skills properly.”
“I don’t mind small spaces, but if you like it, you should move. “Wouldn’t it be difficult to make excuses for not being able to show off your skills properly by fighting in a small space?”
“haha. I will be grateful for your consideration. “Okay then.”
When the demon god snapped his fingers in the air, a magic circle was created on the floor with the demon god and Cheok Jun-gyeong at the center. Cheok Jun-gyeong, who realized that the magic circle was a type of space movement magic, did not reject the magic and put himself into it.
Pot.
When the light from the magic circle disappeared, the two people were already in a different space. Cheok Jun-gyeong relaxed his neck and looked around him. The texture of the dirt on the floor was quite nice.
“This place… … Is it like an arena? “It’s a little wide, but it’s okay.”
“It’s a place called ‘Abyss.’ As you said, it is an arena. However, it is not a normal arena, but a place used only for very special battles.”
The demon god said that and looked around. It was an expression of new emotion.
In the center of the arena, which was reminiscent of the Colosseum on Earth, the demon god slowly opened his mouth.
“It is a place solely for the Demon Temple. All demons in history were born here and died here. “I also killed the last generation of demons here.”
“In other words, this is your grave? Too bad. “There are no onlookers at this historic moment.”
“Or it could be the tomb of a reckless challenger who failed to understand the subject.”
The Demon God did not flinch at all in response to Cheok Jun-gyeong’s provocation and responded calmly. However, as Cheok Jun-kyung said, it was surprising that there was not a single viewer.
‘The fact that no one from the Senate visited the Demon Temple… … As expected, the attention of those old men was focused somewhere else.’
It goes without saying, but in the demon world, the demon temple is more important than any other event.
The place where the devil is decided. In other words, it could be said to be the place where God is born.
Therefore, observers were essential for this important ceremony, and usually the elders of the Senate participated as observers. Even for them, the birth of a new demon god was an important issue that could not be ignored.
However, there was no one here except Cheok Jun-gyeong and the demon god. This is despite the fact that when the current demon god enters here, a signal is automatically sent to the Senate.
This could not have happened unless the old men of the Senate suddenly and suddenly died at the same time.
‘Otherwise, something big has happened that makes the demon temple seem insignificant.’
The demon god recalled the scene he saw while eating earlier.
Calm too. The one who defeated the awakened Khaled.
I was concerned about the dense magical energy that that person was emitting. Perhaps the worst outcome I could have imagined would happen.
‘That won’t work.’
Just when the demon god thought he had to close the fragment of the beginning even now, the sword energy fired by Cheok Jun-gyeong attacked. A black curtain protected the demon’s body, but the result was a little different from the meal.
Quang!
With a large explosion, the black curtain began to crack. And Cheok Jun-gyeong quickly approached the black curtain.
“It’s been so long since you said you would focus, but you’re thinking about something else!”
Cheok Jun-gyeong’s Cheonggang Sword flew towards the demon god. Although it was not perfect, it was a blow that contained the art of ‘single attack’.
“Sigh!”
After the demon came to his senses, he dodged Cheok Jun-gyeong’s attack. Although his black curtain was strong, it could not withstand even an attack that cut down everything.
Fit.
The demon god was able to avoid Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword by a very narrow margin. It was because my reaction was a little late due to other thoughts.
Cheok Jun-gyeong’s sword slightly cut through the demon’s chest, but the wound was so shallow that it would be embarrassing to call it a wound. Her demon looked down at her chest calmly and then opened her mouth.
“That’s interesting. “It definitely seems to be the technology I saw back then, but it’s a little different.”
“I worked hard to defeat you. “It will be harder to avoid than before.”
<Dangong Cham> was a skill with powerful destructive power, but at the same time it was a skill with limitations.
Due to the nature of the sword energy release skill, time was needed for the sword energy to reach the opponent, and it was not a skill that was difficult to avoid for a strong Demon God level player.
So, after much effort, Cheok Jun-gyeong succeeded in improving <Dangongcham> into a format that is difficult to avoid.
Partial implementation of Dangong Cham.
It was a method of using <Dangong Cham> only at the moment of cutting with the sword, not in the form of sword technique. Of course, in this case, its power was significantly lower than the original <Dangong Cham>, but it was still a Dangong Cham.
It wasn’t that difficult to cut down the demon god through the wall.
“That’s fun.”
The Demon God raised his demonic energy and Cheok Jun-gyeong laughed. My skin still felt tingly. I felt like I was stronger than when I met him back then.

“Good. good! very good!”
Now he was a challenger. It was a unique experience that could never be experienced anywhere else.
At that time, I was lucky enough to use <Mugeuk> to get to Dongguijin, but until then, I was one-sidedly pushed back.
Afterwards, he said that he practiced hard while teaching Jeongdo, but he could not completely bridge the gap in that short period of time. Because the demon god wasn’t playing around either.
It will probably be difficult to win unless you have some luck.
But there was no option to back down from here. Even if the result of the struggle is death.
<Cheonmujiche> were beings who lived such a life.
“Goes!!!”
Cheok Jun-gyeong rushed towards the demon god. The Cheonggang sword in his hand radiated sharper anticipation than ever before.
* * * * * *
“That’s great. “It was really dangerous this time.”
“Oh my gosh.”
There was no luck.
Cheok Jun-gyeong’s chest was pierced by a large stone spear. When his demon spirit waved his hand in the air, the stone spear disappeared and Cheok Jun-gyeong’s body fell to the floor.
“Are you not using it this time? “It’s that non-polar thing.”
“Damn it. Some people don’t want to write… Hurry up… inscribed… line… … .”
His voice could not continue until the end, perhaps because his lungs had also been pierced by that blow.
<No pole>.
The best season of Cheok Jun-gyeong, which theoretically cannot exist in the universe.
It was the best technique created by mixing <single attack>, which can cut anything, and <non-empty attack>, which can never be avoided.
Cheok Jun-gyeong had used that technique only once in the past, and his body collapsed due to the recoil.
Fortunately, the collapse of the body was prevented with the help of Jeong-do, but no matter how much effort he made after that, he was unable to complete <Mugeuk>. No, it was impossible to even unfold <Mugeuk>, which was as unstable as it was then, let alone complete it.
“is it. Did you ultimately fail to learn it? “It’s a shame.”
“Big, big.”
“It was a good fight. “I can’t guarantee what will happen if we fight again in a hundred years or so.”
Of course that won’t happen. Although he was a worthy person to kill, showing mercy in this situation was an act of insulting the warrior.
“then… … huh?”
The demon god who was about to finish suddenly stopped moving. This was because she felt a familiar yet foreign energy in Cheok Jun-gyeong’s fallen body.
“This?”
It was then.
The moment the Demon God felt something strange about the energy felt from Cheok Jun-gyeong’s body, someone started flying here from the other side of the sky.
Kwaaaaang!
And the figure landed in the Colosseum like a meteor.
“… … you.”
A person who appeared like a shooting star. He was angry in a low voice.
Because Cheok Jun-kyung was lying down with a huge hole in his stomach. I had an ominous feeling, so I left the group alone and went to look for Cheok Jun-gyeong’s energy, and the ominous feeling became a reality. Jeongdo’s face became cold and stiff.
It was the same situation I saw in the wireless world in the past. The Demon God turned her head towards Jeongdo and said.
“You’re his disciple. A long time. Calm down too.”
“… … .”
“You seem very angry. However, the same applies here. Because you have to pay for Khaled’s life. I want to rip that head off right now… “Let’s postpone it a little bit.”
“what?”
“This means it’s not over yet. “If you don’t want to see your master hurting himself like he did then, just get out of here.”
Hearing the demon’s words, Jeong-do hurriedly looked at Cheok Jun-kyung. As the demon god said, he was still alive. There was no change in the fact that it was a precarious situation.
“You have something strange planted inside your body. good night. I’ll wait. “It wasn’t very satisfying to end it like this.”
“… … no way?”
The expression on his face hardened. The energy felt in Cheok Jun-gyeong’s body was very familiar.
That’s because it was the same energy he used to save Cheok Jun-kyung.
<Inversion>.
This was the skill used to prevent Cheok Jun-gyeong’s body from collapsing. What Lucifer said passed through Jeongdo’s mind.
― … … If we use <inversion>, the collapse of the body can become the restoration of the body. However, as a side effect, the very existence of humans may change. You might become a wild animal instead of a human, and if you’re lucky, your gender will end up being reversed.
The <reversal> that had prevented Cheok Jun-kyung’s body from collapsing began to fluctuate. I could sense it to some extent. This time, the side effects that Lucifer was talking about will begin.
“Kaaaaak!”
Black mana began to slowly bloom from Cheok Jun-gyeong’s wounds.
