Episode 1047. I Was a Crazy Guy Too. (2)
Daepungnu (Great Wind Tower).
This tower in the center of Hangzhou, which must have been so splendid that it was worthy of the word splendid, was now half-collapsed, revealing its hideous frame.
Just a week ago, it was bustling with the laughter of gisaengs, the sound of music, and the boastful voices of drunkards, but now it is filled with an eerie silence.
On the highest floor of the building that had not yet collapsed, there was a man sitting by the window.
Slurp.
A transparent liquid with a faint red glow poured into the glass. The fragrant aroma spread in all directions.
widely.
Danjagang, who had put down the bottle, looked down silently at the wine filling the pure white glass. After looking at it for a while, he reached out and picked up the glass.
The alcohol flowed slowly into his mouth. He closed his eyes, savoring the subtle scent. The sensation of the alcohol flowing down his throat was vivid. Danjagang quietly put down his glass.
“after…….”
A sigh escapes my lips. Is it because I don’t like alcohol? No, it’s the opposite.
The main scent is felt not only in the tip of the nose but also throughout the entire body. Anyone who has tried this alcohol will painfully realize that alcohol is not simply something to drink and get drunk on, but something to enjoy its original taste and aroma.
Yes, if you’ve tried this drink.
“… … We have… … .”
Danzagang slowly looked up at the sky. A half-moon was visible beyond the broken ceiling.
“I never had the chance.”
That fact made Danjagang feel helpless.
What really irritates him is not the fact that his followers do not enjoy this type of alcohol, but the fact that they live without even knowing that this type of alcohol exists in the world.
Few people feel regret for something that does not exist. Regret is something that comes to the forefront only when something that was there is gone. The disciples who do not even know what is not given to them are not even allowed the freedom to feel sorrow.
Even at this moment, countless followers of the religion live their lives considering only cheap liquor, which is too low to be called alcohol, as their only alcohol. They miss and yearn for that one bottle of low-quality liquor.
What would they think when they tasted this liquor here? What would they think when they saw the numerous high-end liquors filling the walls and the warehouse?
“haha…….”
They may hate even more fiercely the non-believers in the Central Plains who have enjoyed all the things they cannot enjoy.
“Hahahaha.”
Perhaps they will blame the church leadership for not informing them of these facts.
“Haha… … . Hahaha… … .”
And maybe… … .
Danjagang paused for a moment and slowly shook his head. Unholy thoughts kept creeping into his head.
A careless hand filled the glass again. Then he lifted the glass and drank it down.
Danjagang, who had repeated the same action several times, looked out the window with a gaze that contained nothing. When he first arrived here, this city was dazzlingly bright with people and lights.
But now all that remains here is darkness and desolation.
Just like the world they live in.
Now… … . Yes, now the people who lived here and the believers have become equal. But… … .
If sharing misery is equality, what does that leave for the disciples?
A sense of relief that more people are suffering the same? Or a low-quality pleasure in bringing those who enjoy high life down to your level?
“Hahaha.”
It’s just funny.
Perhaps the world will soon become like this. The dazzling lights will disappear, the fertile fields will be stained with blood, and the streets once filled with people’s laughter will be filled with death and silence.
And what’s left is just… … .
“May the Heavenly Demons come to you in full glory… … .”
Danzagang closed his eyes.
Yes. What remains is not the teachings, but only the teachings. The Heavenly Horse returns, and all the demons of the world obey him.
“May the Heavenly Demons come to you in full glory.”
Their mantra, their everything. The only truth they must uphold.
But Danjagang wanted to ask. A sad question that he had never had before, but now could not bear not to ask, kept pricking him painfully.
“Oh my God… … .”
Has his faith been clouded? No, it has not.
Even though he was keenly aware of all these contradictions, his faith in Cheonma never wavered. On the contrary, it was because of this that he could not help but ask this question.
“This lowly person dares to ask the Heavenly Demon… … .”
Cheonma Jaerim Manma Angbok. Cheonma Jaerim Manma Angbok.
“This filthy world will be purified as the Heavenly Demon desires. And soon, a glorious world of magic will come.”
This is a holy war for him. It is also a holy war for him.
But I want to ask.
After all that, what comes next?
To welcome the return of the Heavenly Horse, to purify this world and open the world of magic, what kind of life should the followers live?
No one tells what happens next. No one discusses the next world. Because no one is curious. Because they have not even completed the first command given by the Heavenly Demon, they have no right to think about what happens next.
Danjagang leaned back in his chair and tilted his head back. There was emptiness in his eyes.
“… … What is it, Heavenly Horse? What is it… … .”
What have we endured all this time for? And what should we fight for?
Even if all this were for the glory of the Heavenly Horse alone, we would gladly walk that path smiling. But… … why is your mercy not directed at us at all?
“haha…….”
It’s funny, all of this. It’s just funny.
Knock knock knock.
At that moment, somewhat urgent footsteps were heard from the stairs leading downstairs. Danjagang greeted the visitor without turning his head.
“Your Excellency.”

As soon as Aka-Il, who had climbed the stairs, saw Dan-Jang, he fell to the ground.
“A force of non-believers has invaded the outskirts and fighting is taking place.”
He swallowed dry saliva as he reported and continued speaking.
“The number is more than five hundred thousand.”
Danjagang didn’t show any particular reaction. If it were normal, he would have been furious just by recognizing the presence of dirty unbelievers.
“Five hundred… … .”
He murmured in a rather loose voice.
“Are you aiming for my neck?”
“It is extremely irreverent, but I believe it to be so.”
“I see.”
Danzagang’s gaze turned beyond the window.
Even though it was a long way from the outskirts of Hangzhou to here, the fact that he didn’t recognize that many people had approached him must mean that his mind was currently distracted.
“My neck… … .”
There was a terrible emptiness in his eyes as he looked at the moon. If he had been normal, he would have rushed out and moved to condemn them as soon as he heard this news. But for some reason, he didn’t feel like doing that now.
“What should I do?”
At that question, Jeokil immediately opened his mouth.
“Currently, they are engaging in combat with the regular church members patrolling the outskirts. The devout demonic forces of the diocese are currently moving to punish them, so there is no need for the bishop to step in personally.”
“I see… … .”
Danjagang grabbed the bottle of wine again and started pouring more wine into the glass.
Slurp.
The red-tinged wine filled up.
The face of the enemy hardened at that leisurely touch. This was because even though he had finished reporting on those opposing the religion, Danjagang showed no reaction.
But at that very moment.
“… … How dare you.”
The world began to shake. The ominous aura emanating from Danzagang shook not only the air, but even this tower.
The enemy, whose breath was suddenly taken away by the momentum, quickly slammed his head on the floor.
“Lord, Bishop. Please stop your anger… … .”
“Enemy.”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
A life-threatening voice leaked out from Danjagang’s mouth.
“Those who dare to oppose the Heavenly Demon. Chew their flesh, grind their bones, and punish them for their sins. Let this wicked world clearly know what price they must pay for their disbelief.”
“May the Heavenly Demon Resurrection bring you great fortune!”
thud!
The enemy hit his head on the floor. Then he carefully got up and hurled himself down the stairs like the wind.
As his presence faded away, Danjagang’s eyes darkened.
* * *
“Amitabha!”
A majestic bell rang out, and golden light spread across the front.
Kuuuuung!
A dull explosion erupted. The cultists who were rushing forward were thrown back, unable to overcome the power contained in the authority. However, as soon as their backs touched the ground, they suddenly stood up and rushed forward again, screaming.
“Huh!”
For the first time, a suppressed moan escaped Hye-yeon’s mouth.
“Keep running!”
But there was no time to stop and think, because Cheongmyeong’s voice kept urging them on.
Cheongmyeong and the elite of Hwasan that he led.
Jang Il-so and Hong Gyeon following him.
When Cheongmyeong and Jang Il-so first announced that they would leave the battlefield to Heukguibo and enter Hangzhou, most people did not understand why they had to make such a choice.
But now everyone understands what it means.
‘f*ck!’
Baekcheon gritted his teeth. There was no end to the number of cultists rushing towards him. Those he had encountered outside of Hangzhou were only a very small number, and they were mere scouts.
The further inside they went, the more they were greeted by demonic cultists who were emitting thicker magical energy. The magical energy they were emitting was so thick that it was difficult to breathe.
Pfft!
Baekcheon kicked the ground with all his might and drew his sword with all his might towards the demon cultists rushing in from the front.
The red aura that had surged up scattered, creating dozens of afterimages, and then mercilessly slashed the entire bodies of the demon cultists.
“Kaaaaaaah!”
The demons with holes all over their bodies screamed in despair. But even then, they continued to swing their long, growing claws.
“Eww!”
At that moment, Jo Geol, who was supporting Baek Cheon, hurriedly jumped in to block the attack.
Paaaaang!
A golden meteor-like thing flew in with an ear-piercing sound and instantly shattered the heads of the demonic cultists in front of Baekcheon.
“You have to be careful, baby.”
A gentle voice rang out earnestly. Baekcheon turned his head with a distorted expression.
“Jang Il-so!”
“It’s not good to be excited, so don’t lose your strength in advance. You still have a lot to do.”
“Huh!”
Baekcheon bit his lip. The fact that he had received help from Jang Il-so made him even more humiliated.
That moment.
Phaaaat!
The flying sword of Cheongmyeong instantly cut off the neck of the demon cult member who was rushing at Jang Il-so.
“Don’t be so careless, you idiot!”
“… … You are so kind.”
Jang Il-so laughed crookedly. Even in the midst of this, Cheong-myeong’s two eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
‘Where?’
His senses spread out in all directions.
The behavior of a bishop is unpredictable. Each one is so different. So trying to guess where he might be in this vast space is absurd.
But it is not necessary to do that.
All he had to do was find the place where the thickest magic was flowing out in this suffocating magic. It wouldn’t be that hard, since his senses were several times more sensitive than before.
After a while, Cheongmyeong’s head rose upward.
Hangzhou, where all the towering pavilions have collapsed. On a land that has been flattened to reveal the horizon, there is only one tower standing tall!
“this…….”
Cheongmyeong smiled, revealing his teeth.
“It seems I’m not the only one who’s being kind?”
A ferocious aura flowed from Cheongmyeong’s two eyes.
