As soon as Songhwa touched his shoulders, the spell worked as he muttered the words.
âStop him, young sect leader!â
The person who noticed this the first time was someone behind the troops and shouted.
It seems like the End Demon also brought the people under the Second Discipleâs command.
However, despite the cry, the spell was activated.
Moreover, the purpose of this movement that Songhwa did was not for many but one.
And it moved Seol-Hwi alone, and it was quick because of that.
âMay you find peace!â
Came the last words of Songhwa.
Shh!
Seol-Hwi had vanished from there.
When Seol-Hwiâs vision brightened, he was in an unknown room.
And before he could think about what happened, he could not be any less shocked at what he saw ahead.
âWho has so many gold barsâŚâ
It was a place full of gold bars, and there were some which looked like precious metals and various other things Seol-Hwi did not know of on display.
âNo, this isâŚâ
In an instant Seol-Hwi realized what this place was. It was the inn made by Jeok Song.
This small room on the 4th floor was a safe room above the 3rd floor. It reminded him of when he saw it when the place was first built.
âHe collected all of thisâŚâ
Seol-Hwi did not receive any money from his subordinates. What they made, they used.
However, Songhwa and Imugi accumulated so much over the previous months because of the experience.
-If you need money, let me know, captain.
About a month back Songhwa came over and told him this, and that made him think of the people who risked their lives.
âI donât have time for this!â
<Would you like to open the toolbox?>
Seol-Hwi opened it and took out the Golden Belt. And he chose an elixir.
<Would you like to use the Sweet Nectar Water?>
He used it.
Recovered both the stamina and internal energy to a level but one didnât seem enough. So he used all he had.
<Would you like to use the Heaven and Earth Snow Leaf?>
<Would you like to use the Taixiyuan Fire Spirit?>
<Would you like to use the Ten Thousand Year Pill?>
All of his wounds were healed, and his health and internal energy were back a good amount.
âEven if I die, I need to head back.â
Seol-Hwi put the Golden Belt into the toolbox and tried to move but hesitated.
He looked at the gold and silver treasure in front of him.
âI am going to die anywayâŚâ
Seol-Hwi raised his hand and everything turned into gold and went into the toolbox.
<130,000>
<210,000>
<330,000>
âŚ
âŚ
<Toolbox> 1,013,000G
He suddenly had a huge amount of gold in his toolbox. Taking this, he climbed down the ceiling and onto the roof. After estimating the distance, he ran with all his might.
Please⌠one, just oneâŚ
He wanted to get to his subordinates.
The subordinates who risked their lives to save him. Of course, they could not have survived until now, but he hoped that at least one of them was alive.
To leave them like this⌠was unfair.
Patpat
The guest house was not far and the reason he got here fast was not because the distance was close.
He went right into the building.
âThis⌠what?â
The End Demon who looked at the familiar face was shocked, he did not think the guy would come again.
Seol-Hwi did not have the time to look at him.
âAhhâŚâ
Seol-Hwi who looked for the subordinates fell to despair.
All of the subordinates turned to corpses.
It was quick to know the one with burnt face was Yorim. His face was half burnt and melted in flame, but the clothes he had made it obvious.
And the one with a crushed body was Jeok Song. Next to him was Imugi with his body split.
âEuhâŚâ
He turned his head and Seol-Hwi groaned unknowingly. There was a hand cut off.
A hand which looked so young, it had to be Songhwaâs. The body was wounded beyond recognition as if someone dug through. And at the end, the boy who did everything to save him was tortured.
And Yong Jin⌠his body could not be found.
âCaptainâŚâ
âSeo⌠Seo RyeongâŚâ
Seol-Hwiâs eyes trembled as he looked at Seo Ryeong groaning in the corner⌠she was alive.
No, she wanted to live. But the blood around her body was too much.
âSeo RyeongâŚâ
Seol-Hwi approached her, her face already pale as paper like she would die any moment.
âI-I am sorry. IâŚâ
Seol-Hwi could not speak.
He thought that he could not survive and decided to accept death, but seeing this was not something he wanted to witness.
�
Shh
The pale hand of her touched his cheek, and she said,
âWe are⌠so helpless, right?â
ââŚâ
âFor months we went without talking⌠and in the end⌠we are destined to partâŚâ
Seol-Hwi could not answer her. He just looked at her eyes.
âA little late, but still⌠I have little time. From today at leastâŚâ
Her hand fell down and she smiled very faintly looking at him.
âThis is our first day. Together.â
Shh
That was the last thing. Her pale lips no longer moved.
Seol-Hwi continued to look at her lips and thought,
Why arenât they moving?
Why arenât they speaking?
Accepting this reality was⌠too difficult.
âAh, it was loveâŚâ
The End Demon watched Seol-Hwi until the end with more interest than any, the guy who vanished came back and was moved by the subordinates.
He watched it all because this was interesting and this is the end, the woman and her arm. This made him chuckle.
âHehe. You should have told me in advance. I would have torn her to pieces for the end to be more dramaticâŚâ
He found this thing funny.
With the End Demonâs belief on life and death based on strength, he could not understand emotions.
âUh?â
Another unusual thing happened.
The guy who had been in pain looking at the subordinates got up, but as he turned, he had tears falling down his eyes.
It was absurd that his clothes were wet. He was crying like a girl.
âAre you crying? HAHAHA!â
âHahah.â
Seol-Hwiâs actions made everyone laugh. Most of the demons here did not bother hiding the laughter.
These were people who did not know emotions. And by the time the laughter slowly died downâ
Seol-Hwi opened his mouth.
âI will promise you all.â
His voice was still weeping, and he could not stop the tears.
âI will die here.â
And Seol-Hwi raised his head, seeing that the laughter died right away.
The hideous appearance with the veins standing all over the face as if the blood was pumping too much into the faceâ
It was so different from the crying a second back.
âAnd I will fight to death, and I might not be able to take all of you. But⌠there is one thing I am sure of.â
ââŚâ
âYou will meet me again. And that meeting will be very different from now.â
Clench
Seol-Hwi continued to speak,
âBecause I will slaughter you, whether you are Supreme Demon or not.â
Tuk
After that, Seol-Hwi began to touch his blood points. This made the End Demon sneer.
âAmplify the internal energy⌠what will that do?â
He said when Seol-Hwi continued despite his words.
Being unable to control his emotions even after reaching Supreme Demon felt pathetic to him. When such things come, oneâs judgment will always be clouded.
Of course, the price for that action will be paid with death.
Pat
When Seol-Hwi moved, the End Demon reacted. No matter how much he amplified his internal energy as a temporary measure, he was just at the start of Supreme Demon.
Moreover, he was injured before.
So he cannot jump over the wall right now.
Shh
The End Demon blocked the path of Seol-Hwi.
Uh?
He knew the moment his sword was supposed to cut him, right now, the infront of him was an alter ego.
Deceiving him with the footwork, his main body had passed through.
Pat
Seol-Hwi passed the End Demon and approached a black dressed person, the woman called Si Ah-young.
Kang!
As expected, the creature in her hand responded very quickly.
It had reflexes that could not be imagined. But the movement of Seol-Hwi was at Supreme Demon and was not something that a spirit creature could handle.
Kwak!
When Seol-Hwi moved the sword, the creature opened its mouth wide and went stiff. The sword went in through its mouth and came out at the tail. It died.
âY-you bastardâŚ!â
The woman was enraged and tried to use her dagger.
ââŚâ
She went stiff.
Seol-Hwi had tied her up with just one movement and attacked.
âYou have been hiding from behindâŚâ
ââŚâ
âLike it from behind?â
Kwak!
Saying that, he pushed the sword through her chest.
Wheik!
âKuaaak!â
She screamed as fire qi was on the sword. This was not to kill her but to make her feel the pain.
Papapat
In the meantime, the others did not leave him alone.
In particular, a person called Seo, who seemed to be good at sorcery, moved.
âEum!â
However, his mouth was blocked by something.
Entrapment
In the past Songhwa had taught it to Seol-Hwi.
Shhhh
But there were still people moving.
The nearby Peak Demon reacted quickly and used sword energy on Seol-Hwi.
But it was in vain.
The airflow created by the body of Seol-Hwi, it silently wrapped around their heads and soon their heads exploded.
Pung! Pung! Pung!
As more than a dozen Peak Demons died in an instant, the hall went cold. In an instant just three warriors and Seol-Hwi were left.
âYou people step out!â
When Hyang Gae and Yupae took a stance, the End Demon shouted.
He again expressed his intention to deal with the guy
âAs expected, you have to be killed with my own hands.â
The End Demon showed anger over the death of his men, and Seol-Hwi laughed at it.
âNot in your hands.â
ââŚ.â
âMy life depends on my decision.â
âWhat.â
Wheik
The End Demon brought out their internal energy. A ring of fire rose, revealing a vicious figure.
âWhether you burn to death or are torn to shreds, your end has been decided.â
âMy end? Then I decide for you.â
Seol-Hwi continued to speak with his mouth turning to a smile while looking at the End Demon.
âYou will die by your martial arts only.â
ââŚ?â
âFour Peak Demonic Martial Arts, Fire. That is it.â
