Episode 1044. Die or be killed. (4)
Kkwadduk!
A dark, bloody hand emerged from his back. The hand, soaked in blood, was still clutching his throbbing heart.
“Crunch… … .”
The eyes of the dying man and the one watching the death met at a close range. The eyes were wide open in disbelief. The face was terrified as he recognized the death that was approaching, and the other one laughed coldly.
bang!
The demon cultist, who had kicked away what should have been a corpse that had collapsed, grabbed the heart in his hand and burst it.
“Hahahahahahahaha! You dirty unbelievers!”
Fear has a strange property.
People show more courage when they are with others than when they are alone. Isn’t there a clear difference between walking alone on a dark night road and walking with others?
But once fear starts to spread?
From then on, a greater fear than when you were alone would creep in. It didn’t take long for the fear that started at the front to spread throughout the entire Black Ghost Village.
What was lacking was not inaction, but attitude.
The difference between the Demonic Cult, which still retained the venom from the tragedy of a hundred years ago, and those who had forgotten everything over time, was now extremely evident in this place.
“May the Heavenly Demon be with you, may the Heavenly Demon be with you. May the Heavenly Demon be with you, may the Heavenly Demon be with you. May the Heavenly Demon be with you, may the Heavenly Demon be with you.”
The mantra, muttered like an incantation, pierces my ears.
The screams and mad laughter of someone dying echo at the same time. There are also endless curses and murderous intent pouring down like a slash to the flesh.
Who can remain sane in front of him all the time?
“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”
“Ah, no. This is… … .”
It’s falling apart.
The inaction that had been built up over a long period of time, the reason that had been perfectly restrained, and the pride that came with the name Black Ghost, all came crashing down like a rotten old tree in an instant.
All that was left were terrified humans who just wanted to live.
“Ewww!”
Someone starts screaming and turning to run away. At first it was just a few people’s impulsive actions, but the ripple effect was enormous.
Those who could not think of anything else but fighting were given the option of ‘running away’.
Those who could not resist temptation turned their backs on the enemy. Even those who managed to overcome it somehow could not help but find that the tip of their swords became dull.
When the hungry wolves realized their opponent’s weakness, they attacked the flock in front of them even more fiercely. In order to chew and devour them all without leaving a single piece of flesh behind.
Fear and despair settled over the blood-soaked ground.
“Ah, no… … .”
The body of the Black Demon Elite, who was faced with the sight of his comrades in front of him being torn apart, froze like a stone statue. He knew that he had to fight, and he knew that he had to resist, but he did not move as if his entire body was tied up.
“Uh… … Uhh… … .”
The demon, with bloodshot eyes gushing out, howled like an animal and swung his hands at his head.
‘porridge…….’
At that moment.
Paaaaaaaang!
With a loud crashing sound, the head of the rushing demon rose into the sky.
For a moment, it seemed like the world had stopped.
The elite of the Black Demon Guard, who was about to give up in the face of impending death, blankly looked up at the head of the Demon Cultist that was rising in the air. The head was spinning around and spraying blood, and the face that could be seen in passing was still full of lowly pleasure.
Perhaps that cultist didn’t realize his own death even at the moment of his death. Just as he, who is now alive, doesn’t understand this situation.
Bam!
The head that had been flying in the air fell to the ground.
It was just one death on a battlefield where countless others had died.
Small and insignificant things.
But the aftermath was enormous.
“… … .”
The gaze of the Black Ghost Elite, who barely managed to escape with his life, slightly lowered. A little below his eye level, someone who had not existed a moment ago was standing with his back turned.
Black uniform.
Hair tied up tightly.
And a long sword of white light held in one hand.
“volcano…….”
Before my mind could comprehend, my mouth opened. Before that groan-like voice could even finish, the feet of the person standing in front of me began to move again.
Pfft!
He kicked the ground and swung his sword like a lightning bolt.
“Kahaha!”
Another cultist instinctively swung his arm. It was a move intended to block the flying sword and rip off the leash in one fell swoop.
But just before the arm and sword clashed, the sword spun around and slid the cultist’s arm away. Then, it quickly latched onto his neck like the talons of an eagle catching its prey.
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The body of the demon cultist, which had been able to withstand countless attacks without any resistance, was cut off without even being able to fight back. The head rose into the air, and the rest of the body collapsed in place.
The battlefield froze.
Cheongmyeong’s mouth slowly opened as he blew off the heads of the two demon cult members in an instant.
“… … Let me tell you, kids.”
Cheongmyeong slowly picked up his sword again.
“When dealing with the Demonic Cult… … .”
Phaaaat!
His sword began to emit a brilliant aura. The red aura scattered all at once like an illusion, covering the demon cult members.

“Huh!”
“This, this is… … .”
In the storm of flower petals covering the front, the cultists instinctively tried to retreat. No matter how much they risked their lives and rushed at the enemy, they could not blindly charge into the sword energy flying around, completely blocking their vision.
“Kaaaaaaaaa!”
They stepped back and waved their arms. They were trying to ward off the plum blossom sword energy flying towards them. However, the moment their hands, filled with tremendous magical energy, touched the petals, all of the sword energy disappeared in vain, as if it had been an illusion to begin with.
‘what?’
and.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Taking advantage of that moment, the flying sword quickly pierced the necks of the demon cult members.
“Cough!”
Even if he lowered his gaze, he could not see the neck. All the cultist could see was blood gushing out from the neck.
Thud! Thud!
A demon with a pierced neck, and a demon with a clear plum blossom sword seal carved on their forehead… …collapsed like rotten straw.
Extreme illusion sword. A sword technique where the boundary between reality and illusion is extremely narrow.
The Hwasan swordsmanship, which was looked down upon as being out of the norm and close to the evil sect because it was a swordsmanship that deceived and fooled the opponent, was like a deadly poison to the demonic cultists who suppressed their enemies with force.
“Aim for the neck.”
Cheongmyeong said with the corners of his lips twisted.
It was an eerie smile, clearly different from that of a mad cultist, but similar in some ways.
“Or just smash your head in.”
Damn it.
Cheongmyeong took another step forward. His eyes were filled with a ferocious murderous intent, anger, and a heat that could only be described as strange.
And at that moment.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
Something flew in with a terrible crashing sound and lodged itself in the head of the demon cultist.
Boom!
Soon, with a loud explosion, the demon’s head exploded.
‘What?’
The golden object that had flown in quickly spun around and returned to where it had come from.
Okay!
Jang Il-so lightly reached out and took the bracelet, smiling faintly.
“Head and neck… … If you had that kind of information, you should have told me a long time ago. Anyway, I told you that you have a bad personality.”
Cheongmyeong ignored Jang Il-so’s words and moved forward.
The eyes of the Black Ghost elite, which had been completely darkened by despair, regained their light.
Head and neck.
Of course, it is not an easy area to target. No matter what, the head and neck are thoroughly protected. However, there is a world of difference between not having a way to knock down an opponent and having a method, even if it is difficult.
“this…….”
However, the position of the demon cultists seemed completely different.
As they watched their fellow believers die right before their eyes, a more intense hatred began to form on their faces.
“This son of a bitch… … .”
Cheongmyeong smiled as he looked into their eyes.
“Yeah. I like those eyes.”
“… … .”
“Those eyes… … .”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes were bloodshot.
“I enjoy it the most when I’m terrified.”
Boom!
Cheongmyeong rushed forward, smiling strangely brightly. His sword took on an intense red aura.
The sword that was once perfected to cut off their necks is now aimed at their necks again.
“Kill him!”
The demons also rushed towards Cheongmyeong, screaming like a fit of convulsions. They also instinctively understood who the most dangerous being was here.
“The return of the Heavenly Demon! Ten thousand demons… … .”
“shut up!”
Cheongmyeong cut off the flying arm with one blow and then thrust his sword into the mouth of the demon cultist who was chanting a mantra.
With that blow, the body of the demon cultist, whose cervical vertebrae were instantly severed, fell limp. The sword that had been spinning inside the mouth rose up and split the demon cultist’s head in two.
Pfft!
Before the sword could even be drawn, Cheongmyeong’s foot moved first. With just one step, he advanced nearly a jang, dug into the bewildered demon cult members, and stomped hard on the ground.
Cheongmyeong, who had transferred all the power he had gained from the advance and awakening into his sword, rushed at an incredible speed and swung it at the Demonic Cultist’s waist.
Quagga gagak! Quagga gagak!
It felt more like cutting off than severing.
The tough, rubbery body of the demon cultist was unable to overcome the force of the sword pushing in and was cut off with a crunching sound.
Paaaaaaaang!
Soon, the upper body of the demon cultist, whose waist had been completely cut off, spun around like a top. Cheongmyeong kicked away the disintegrating lower body and spun around on the spot, scattering plum blossom sword energy in all directions.
Darkness covers the sky. The earth is dyed dark.
These people are completely wrapped in black uniforms.
In that dark world, a plum tree stretched out its branches. It was as if it had grown with the nutrients of the flowing blood, and it was a deep red color.
Sarararaak!
The scattered plum leaves spun around fiercely as if hit by a gust of wind, sweeping away the demon cult members.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Although the petals looked very fragile, their power was by no means weak. They were able to easily pierce through the bodies of the demonic cultists who had blocked and neutralized countless strong swords and swords.
“Kkaaaaaaah!”
For the first time, screams echoed from the mouths of the demon cultists.
Their bodies never allow death easily. That is why they could not easily die even if dozens of holes were drilled into their bodies. In other words, they had to feel the pain of all those wounds vividly and excruciatingly.
The sword energy tore through flesh, cut through tendons, and ground bones. The vivid pain tore through the minds of the cultists, eventually turning them pale.
Blood kept gushing out from the bodies of the demons surrounding Cheongmyeong. That blood made the plum blossoms created by Cheongmyeong even darker.
Pouring blood.
Among them, Cheongmyeong was the only one who revealed white teeth that were not soaked in blood.
The hot, bloody smell stung his nose so much that it was suffocating. The smell made Cheongmyeong adjust again. The unfamiliar sensation quickly returned and lingered at the tips of his fingers that held the sword.
Everything has changed, but this feeling still remains in his fingertips.
“… … You shouldn’t have forgotten me.”
Cheongmyeong raised his head and laughed like an evil spirit.
“Isn’t that so?”
Cheongmyeong kicks the ground with a strange laugh.
The hunted and the hunter.
It was the moment when the positions were reversed.
