Side story 179. Emptiness in the bloody wind (4)
Swish.
Yoo Sang-cheon, who entered the civil war, read a strange atmosphere for a moment.
‘what?’
The air flowing is different.
Although it was very heavy, the air was the same everywhere in the world, but it felt strangely stuffy.
‘Is it a mistake?’
It must be my imagination.
Yoo Sang-cheon took a deep breath.
‘Your Majesty.’
He recalled his conversation with Commander Yang Baek-ho.
– Please give me some time.
– Are you thinking of brushing up on your martial arts skills?
– Yes. I just happened to catch something, but if I leave it unsolved, I think it will only be a burden to the two thousandths.
– Okay. Let’s do that. Stop by when you leave.
A few days later.
After resolving his concerns about martial arts, Yu Sang-cheon has now entered the civil war.
‘Where are you?’
Although it wasn’t as big as the side story, the civil war was also incredibly huge. In fact, it was almost like a small city, so it was really hard to find even one person by running around.
‘If it’s the easiest way to find, then… … .’
Yoo Sang-cheon’s face hardened.
Currently, Lee Cheon-sang is said to be moving with Baekgol Shinma, one of the Ten Demon Kings. If so, the correct way to find him is to go to Baekgol Shinma.
If it were a common mine from the side story, there would be no reason for the White Bone God Demon to meet him. However, it is possible for Yu Sang-cheon.
‘… … For now.’
I cleared my mind of my stuffiness with just one deep breath.
‘You said you were friendly with the Lord of Madness and the Lord of the Criminal Law. I guess I should start by attacking them.’
It wasn’t just because of the uncomfortable relationship. Yoo Sang-cheon couldn’t trust his grandfather, Baekgol Shinma.
He was a man who had abandoned his own children. He even treated his only remaining grandchild the same way as the children he had abandoned. There was no way a man like that could have affection or concern for his subordinates.
It is clear that he is trying to control Lee Cheon-sang because he wants something. It is foolish to expect anything from such a person.
‘The lighthouse was over there, I guess.’
Although it wasn’t for long, I had lived through the civil war for quite some time. I knew where the new education unit’s building was.
It was when Yoo Sang-cheon was about to leave for Gwangmagak.
‘… …?!’
He turned his head south.
From a distance, a mine with a rather secretive, yet unique presence that could not be killed was running towards me.
Yoo Sang-cheon’s eyes widened.
‘Strong!’
After a while.
“Whew, that’s tough. My back still hurts.”
Hongsan, standing in front of the gate leading to the outer gate, looked at Yu Sangcheon.
Yoo Sang-cheon also looked at Hong-san with nervous eyes.
“… … .”
Hongsan, who had been looking at Yoo Sangcheon with an unknown gaze, soon turned his head away indifferently. He thought he might be an enemy, but decided that he was not.
Yoo Sang-cheon, who realized that no one was paying attention to him, also tried to turn his head away.
That was when.
‘uh?’
Yoo Sang-cheon looked at Hong-san again. To be exact, he found a man hanging on his shoulder.
When Hongsan takes a step.
“wait.”
“… … ?”
“Who are you?”
Hongsan frowned.
“What? Were they enemies after all?”
Yoo Sang-cheon’s eyes became cold.
“How did you promote work?”
“What? A job promotion?”
“The person you are carrying.”
“Huh? This idiot… … .”
Hongsan, who was speaking, was startled.
“Aren’t you this guy?”
“The Yaksha Commander, the head of the group, Heo Pil.”
“Are you an acquaintance?”
“This is Yoo Sang-cheon, the tenth leader of the same faction.”
Hongsan sighed.
“Damn, I was nervous because I thought you were the enemy. What the? Are you a demon lord too?”
“Identify yourself. And where are you taking the leader?”

“Where are you, you yaksha commander?”
“what?”
“That’s what I thought, but I changed my mind. Did you say 10th generation leader?”
“… … That’s right.”
“How do you prove it?”
Yoo Sang-cheon took out a badge from his bosom. It was a small badge that proved his affiliation with the Yaksha Commander.
Hongsan frowned again.
“How can you prove that you belong to the Yaksha Commander with just that? There’s also the possibility of it being forged.”
“Stop talking nonsense and just put it down.”
“You want me to put it down in front of someone who might be your enemy? Are you in your right mind?”
“What on earth is your identity?”
“Before that, let me ask you. If you are the leader of the Yaksha Demons, why are you here?”
Yoo Sang-cheon slowly relaxed his shoulders.
“I can’t seem to get through the conversation.”
“What I’m saying is.”
Hongsan turned his wrist. He was preparing for an attack.
Woohoo.
Dark magic began to rise from Yu Sang-cheon’s body.
It was a restrained and refined magic. It was truly impressive that the magic could be blocked from spreading over a certain distance while increasing the density within the area.
Hongsan’s eyes grew deeper.
‘Look at this kid?’
Strong, but still young.
At first glance, it seemed like he had a lot of talent. But what was more surprising was that magic. No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t the kind of magic that a mere leader could learn.
‘As expected, it’s suspicious. How can the leader of the side story unit do such magic…?’
At that moment, Hongsan realized something.
“Hey, you.”
“… … .”
“Do you remember the name of this magician?”
Phew.
A reddish magical energy rose from Hongsan’s hand.
For a moment, Yoo Sang-cheon was startled.
“Blood Fire Magic? How did you do that magic?”
“… … Shit, we didn’t even need to look at each other. It’s that easy to verify identity.”
Hongsan put Heopil down on the ground.
“Take her.”
“You, how do you know about the Blood Flower Demonic Cult? Could it be that you threatened the leader of the group…?!”
“If this crazy bastard was easy enough to give in to threats, I would be so relieved.”
“You asked what it was!”
“My name is Hongsan. I learned the Blood Flower Magic from Lee Cheon-sang.”
“… … !!”
“Take this guy with you for now. I was already feeling uneasy, so this is good. Take a quick look and help if you can… … .”
“Where is your lord now?”
“Now I can finally have a conversation.”
Hongsan let out a deep sigh.
“They’re fighting. Their lives are in danger. I think he sent us because he didn’t want to make unnecessary sacrifices, but no matter how you look at it, it was crazy.”
“Oh, where?”
“Oh, okay, you take this guy… … .”
“Okay. I’ll find it. Please give me some direction!”
Paaaaak!
Before he could finish speaking, Yoo Sang-cheon ran towards where Hong San had come from.
“… … .”
Hongsan, who was watching Yoo Sangcheon disappear blankly, distorted his face.
“Why the hell are all your guys so tasteless?!”
Yoo Sang-cheon runs after seeing Hong San and Heo Pil.
Even in the midst of the urgency, he thoroughly controlled his magic.
‘That’s understandable.’
Considering Lee Cheon-sang’s personality, Hong San’s words were perfect.
‘It was the same back then.’
Even though it was a mission, the enemy was right in front of him, so he sent his praise and fought the enemy alone.
Not everyone can do something so risky. It’s literally life-threatening.
But Lee Cheon-sang did so. I don’t know if he was saddened by his subordinate’s death, but at least it was the best for the efficiency of the mission.
He is a person who does not even spare his life to achieve his goals. He will continue to be like that now.
‘f*ck! Why the hell are you acting like that!’
The two were able to complete their mission safely because their superior risked his life to buy time.
However, even if he lived and died on orders, the fact that he pushed his superior to the brink of death and survived did not change. Yoo Sang-cheon could not stand that.
‘Is this the way?’
Even though I had run for a while, I didn’t hear any sounds of life or death. The road even split into three.
Yoo Sang-cheon thought of Hongsan.
‘He was a very strong man. He could perhaps be compared to the Lord. But… … .’
The Blood Fire Demon was great, but it was somehow unstable. Not because it was unfinished, but because it was injured.
Yet his breathing was steady. There was only a slight tremor in his movements.
‘It must have been a pretty serious injury. He’s not even a top-class fighter, and if he had to hide to come here without fully healing his injuries, his breathing must have been disrupted.’
But the fact that he was still breathing normally meant that the distance wasn’t far.
Yoo Sang-cheon looked at the road to the right.
‘think.’
That was when.
thud.
A small vibration caught Yu Sang-cheon’s senses.
The distance is far. However, it is difficult to achieve this level of vibration without a collision of fairly strong forces.
If you trace the vibration backwards, it was the right path as expected.
Paaaaang!
Yoo Sang-cheon ran out again.
His magical speed was so great that it made you wonder if you had ever run so desperately in your life.
How long did you run like that?
‘Your Majesty!’
The center of life that rises like a cloud.
I felt a faint but very familiar magic within it. It was the magic of the two heavenly beings.
Pavabak!
Yoo Sang-cheon, who had climbed to the top of a warehouse in one breath and was running between the roofs of the buildings, could see the tall tower in the distance.
It’s too far away to tell if it’s the fifth or sixth floor. What’s clear is that Lee Cheon-sang is fighting nearby.
He ran so fast that he was out of breath, having exhausted the internal energy of the Black Sword Master to the limit.
After a while.
‘… … !!’
Yoo Sang-cheon’s face turned pale.
‘this.’
It was as if an invisible murderous intent had formed clouds.
It was clearly visible, yet invisible. It was night, but the flow of life was so rich and strong that even though I was looking at it with my own eyes, my vision felt dizzy.
In it, Lee Cheon-sang was fighting with a woman holding a single-edged hammer.
Even that was blurry. Even at night, the two people should be clearly visible from this distance, but the vision was blocked as if a curtain had been placed over them.
Regardless, Yoo Sang-cheon was about to enter the battlefield.
but.
‘profit!’
It doesn’t move.
The feet did not come off easily. It was not a matter of will, but of instinct, and before instinct, it was a matter of strength.
The murderous clouds that hung all around were completely preventing any intrusive mines from entering. It wasn’t a wall, and there wasn’t a storm so strong that he would be blown away, but Yu Sang-cheon couldn’t enter.
It was almost like a battle formation.
Even if you learn high-level magic, you will never be able to enter if you are outgunned. The moment you enter, your body will lose its freedom and you will lose your life to the swords of the enemies hiding inside the formation.
Yoo Sang-cheon saw through it in one breath. It made him feel like he was going crazy.
You have to risk your life to help them, but instead of helping them, you might get your head cut off as soon as you enter.
It won’t end there. Lee Cheon-sang’s senses are so keen that he will sense his own death even while fighting a master of that level.
If that happened, it was clear that Lee Cheon-sang’s hands and feet would become dizzy. The Lee Cheon-sang that Yoo Sang-cheon saw was colder and more indifferent than anyone else, but he was not so stubborn that he would not waver even in the face of his subordinate’s death.
This is a situation where you can neither enter nor stay still.
Yoo Sang-cheon seemed to know why Hong San had brought Heo Pil. In this situation, a small-scale defense battle could actually be more difficult.
‘Minority defense battle?’
As soon as his thoughts reached that point, Yoo Sang-cheon was able to read Lee Cheon-sang’s intentions like a bolt from the blue.
‘I don’t think you’d win. If you think that being alone is better than being in a minority, then what you want is… . . . ‘
Yoo Sang-cheon’s eyes sparkled.
‘Reinforcements. Waiting for reinforcements.’
It is highly likely that they are waiting for reinforcements that are not simply strong in force, but rather reinforcements that involve power.
‘Who are you waiting for? The madhouse? The criminal court? Surely it’s not your grandfather.’
Now that it’s come to this, what I have to do has been decided.
‘Request direct support from the Mad Men.’
It would be much faster to tell them what’s going on than to wait.
Yoo Sang-cheon moved on the roof again.
Meanwhile, the fight was escalating.
