Chapter 151
Chapter 151 – The Weight Of The Name Heavenly Demon.
Splash.
Blood burst forth like a fountain released from suppression.
The only exception was the Sword Demon.
Witch, Black Lion, Monster.
All were renowned names.
Excluding those on the boundary, there were virtually no foes they couldn’t handle.
They were on the level of strategic weapons, numbering less than a hundred worldwide.
Monsters capable of destroying a city alone.
Yet, they all died equally.
With a single elegant gesture, like dust being brushed off.
‘What was that?’
Though it was a shocking sight, I didn’t focus on it.
A gesture.
I watched it.
‘The Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique grasped the surrounding space. And then what did it do?’
I didn’t see it. I only felt something was done.
It was a subtle method, and it was exquisite.
The Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique was an art of domination.
It dominated the surroundings. It dominated demonic techniques.
As if standing above all demonic arts, it crushed the demons with overwhelming power.
An overwhelming martial art of tyranny.
That was the Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.
But something else was mixed in.
It wasn’t her own Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique. It was impossible from the start. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique required one to start anew with a transcendent spirituality.
“You are still the same.”
The Heavenly Demon approached me before I realized it.
Placing a hand on my cheek, she smiled brightly, as if finding solace after a long time in hell.
“It’s nothing special. Our… our Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique has just advanced a bit.”
“Our?”
“Yes. The Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique you created was based on my Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique. My Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique is quite different from the original, and since it includes your Heaven-Surrendering Godly Technique, it can be considered our Heavenly Demon’s Godly Technique.”
“…I see.”
Sometimes, though rarely.
I found the intense emotions of the Heavenly Demon burdensome.
It was proof of how much she liked me, but I wondered if I could accept it.
“Are you curious?”
“A little…”
“You’re incorrigible. It’s been so long; I want to share a reunion with you.”
With a voice mixed with a hint of regret and joy, the Heavenly Demon looked at me.
“Well, fine. I like that about you.”
“Do you have something you dislike about me?”
“Well, I’m not sure. It might be a flaw to someone.”
“A quiz?”
“Hehe, it means it would be a flaw if not for someone as magnanimous as me.”
“But…”
“Shh.”
As I was about to call her name, the Heavenly Martial’s eyes curved into crescents. She blocked my mouth with her index finger, as if telling me not to speak.
“It’s a story for later. There are too many ears here.”
Saying so, she glanced sideways for a moment and then looked at Shin Yura.
I was puzzled. For someone like her, blocking out sound should be effortless.
“You seem puzzled. You’re right. But it’s better to conserve energy as much as possible.”
“……?”
That statement puzzled me too.
Even for me, creating a barrier to block sound didn’t consume any energy.
“Let’s just say it’s a recoil from forcing myself out.”
“For that, you handled the Supreme Realm too well.”
“That’s my power, so it’s not much of an issue.”
“Power?”
“Yes, it’s roughly specialized in killing opponents. I also got some inspiration from your Manifestation of Thoughts.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“…….”
I was at a loss for words. It was still incomplete.
“Because I am not fully out of the boundary yet.”
“Could it be…?”
“I didn’t do anything outrageous. Though there is a rightful task, I just didn’t come out because those so-called gods were bothersome. This time, since those pests were desperately blocking, I had to be a bit rough.”
“What did you do?”
“Hehe, let’s keep it a secret for later. Because of that, those fairies will be quite furious.”
Something.
A sense of something extremely dangerous was felt.
‘Fairies?’
A face suddenly came to mind—a fairy with golden hair and blue eyes.
The Yellow Tower.
A place where mages who wielded lightning magic gathered.
It was where the inspiration for the Divine Thunderbolt was obtained, and where my second-life lover, the Duke of Extermination, resided.
‘It must be a mistake.’
It had to be a mistake.
We boarded the plane.
The dungeon was half-cleared, and since there was nothing more to see here, we were heading back to the empire.
Our party had grown.
Originally, it was just the emperor who came to watch, myself, and the students.
“Wow, the private jet really looks different.”
Yoo Eunchae, who joined in the middle.
And the Green Forest King, who strangely followed my words. Along with the Sea King, who was treated as a bonus.
Lastly, the Heavenly Demon and the Sword Demon.
Yoo Eunchae glanced at the Heavenly Demon and asked me.
“……Do you have anything to do when you return to the empire?”
“I’ve almost finished everything; I came in a hurry. It won’t take long.”
“But do you know that? There’s an exam soon.”
“……An exam, well, can’t I just take it casually? You guys like that kind of thing. Throwing yourself onto a deserted island and surviving on your own.”
“What do you mean casually! How can you do that as the head professor? For these students with a desire for improvement, shouldn’t there be some kind of reward…….”
“As a reward, do you all want to take me on together?”
“I really think the uninhabited island is nice!”
“No. Talking with you made me realize. I was a bit lacking as a head professor. I’ll take responsibility for my job and make sure to train you all properly.”
“No……”
“I’ll work hard to receive it.”
As Yoo Eunchae wore a dazed expression, Shin Yura approached and said.
“I’ll really work hard.”
“Uh, uh? Sure.”
It was a bit confusing.
Because until now, there hadn’t been anyone this passionate……
‘Or was there?’
Ma Ryong-hui.
In the third life, there was a woman who followed him. A daughter born into a high-ranking family, she seemed like someone who wouldn’t get a drop of water on her hands.
She didn’t have revenge as a goal like Abel, nor did she have someone to protect, yet she had a competitive spirit against the Heavenly Demon for no reason.
‘These kinds of kids, the more you push them, the more they love it to death.’
Should it be called determination, or perhaps yearning? Those with strong inclinations like that always seem to create trouble, often in a positive way.
“Was there someone like Ma Ryong-hui here as well?”
Beside me, the Heavenly Demon looked at Shin Yura with a chilly gaze.
“Ma Ryong-hui?”
“There was. She went up, but it’s easy to think that there was something like that once.”
The Heavenly Demon said this while slightly raising her body.
Then she grabbed my cheeks with both hands.
“So you just watch.”
Smooch.
She slipped her tongue into my mouth.
“…….”
A soft sensation was felt. She felt like she was floating. She wished she could stay like this forever.
The Heavenly Demon gave a sly smile and looked at Shin Yura and Yoo Eunchae.
Children who hadn’t understood their own feelings until now.
Those children began to confront their emotions.
‘At first, it would be affection, I guess.’
The emotion of love originally began there.
The woman in orange was stuck and could not move beyond a certain feeling. It probably meant she had someone in mind.
However, the woman with silver hair and red eyes, Shin Yura, was a different story.
She was like Ma Ryong-hui. Daringly looking at her with a cheeky gaze, thinking she could defeat her.
The desire to take Han Seojin.
Whether it was admiration or affection, it didn’t matter.
She just didn’t like that cheeky look.
The look in her eyes, as if she thought she could contend with her.
It was typical of Han Seojin’s disciples.
Most of those who learned from him expressed such feelings.
However, all of them were defeated by her.
She was the first to recognize Han Seojin, notice his potential, and accept all of his beginnings.
Do you think she’d lose to the likes of you?
It took a little time.
Age.
The younger a woman was, the better.
But that was a story for ordinary people. A body that has reached transcendence did not age.
And it naturally found balance. It was an overwhelmingly superior beauty compared to mere mortals.
The Heavenly Demon was unparalleled among them. Her goddess-like appearance began to blossom even more as her realm increased.
“…What are you suddenly doing?”
“Just felt like it.”
She didn’t like the look in the eyes of those lowlifes.
She couldn’t stand the fiery gaze daring to look at her.
She didn’t bother to give such an answer. Because Han Seojin disliked that.
The Heavenly Demon just looked at Yoo Eunchae and Shin Yura with a warning in her eyes.
For a long time.
“I’ve felt this for a while now.”
The emperor was looking at me with a meaningful smile.
“You seem to have a talent for that sort of thing.”
“Well, I suppose I do.”
“How do you make women cling to a man like that?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Is it innate? Being obsessed by such women, or perhaps twisting them into becoming such women.”
“Who benefits from that?”
“The user, I suppose. It might be a bit exhausting, but in terms of power, it leads to a tremendous increase in strength.”
The emperor said up to there and turned to look at me.
“However, you wouldn’t do such things. It’s a different story if something troublesome clings to you, but as far as I know, Han Seojin isn’t the kind of man who relies on or uses such things.”
After saying that, the emperor took something out from his pocket.
Should I call it a pouch? There was a rather old-fashioned pouch.
It was thrown to me.
“What is this?”
“A gift.”
“Hmm?”
“I wanted to say thank you. It was ‘fun’ for the first time in a while. And I appreciate you raising the level of the mages. Ah, are you going straight to the academy? I’ll lend you a private plane.”
“I’ll use the private plane a bit longer. I think I need to go to the academy later.”
“I see, are you going to the Ming Cult?”
“Yes.”
I had to go to the Ming Cult.
It seemed that there wasn’t much time left for the Heavenly Demon.
“There’s a lot to do. I have to get rid of the riffraff, gather the bothersome things to one side, and keep watch.”
“……Most people will fear her, and the slightly clever ones will try to use her. But you move for her.”
“It’s for me, though?”
“Is that so?”
The emperor chuckled.
“I’m glad you’re my friend.”
“Of course.”
