Descent of the Demon God

Whisper whisper!

The surroundings became chaotic when Dan Kyeong-gak, the Palace Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, appeared with a pale face.

He had clearly been decapitated by Chun Yeowun’s Invisible Sword, but was somehow still alive.

‘Hm.’

Chun Yeowun looked at the Palace Lord’s neck that had been slashed, but was surprised to see a strong ice formation around the injury.

‘He stopped his death by freezing everything around the neck?’

It was an action that exceeded common sense, so even Chun Yeowun had a difficult time understanding it.

In order to survive the decapitation, one had to possess an immortal body, but only Chun Yeowun had achieved such. Dan Kyeong-gak glared at Chun Yeowun,

“You killed my son!”

Dan Kyeong-gak was angry; seeing his son die right before his eyes, he didn’t care about the difference in strength.

All Chun Yeowun was to him now was an enemy.

Chachachang!

Dan Kyeong-gak made sure to use the North Sea Ice Cultivation to imbue a freezing energy within the sword as Dan Cho-ja looked at him with a nervous face.

‘The cold energy is growing stronger.’

Although Dan Kyeong-gak was old, he was still someone who had learned the North Sea Ice Cultivation all his life and was known for his strength. The state of rage he was in allowed him to instantly cross the level of power he had reached.

“Get lost!”

Dan Kyeong-gak urged Dan Cho-ja who was in the way. Dan Cho-ja replied,

“Lord Dan, it’s already happened. I don’t know how you survived but those who cross the line will have to pay, so stop.”

Grunt!

Hearing those words, Dan Kyeong-gak grunted.

“Cross the line? If you people hadn’t brought in that monster, this would have never happened! You dirty dogs! I will deal with you all first!”

Dan Kyeong-gak diverted his anger towards Dan Cho-ja, changing his target in an instant and aiming his sword at Dan Cho-ja, the Clan Leader’s son.

Chachachak!

Dan Cho-ja unfolded his Light Footwork technique and responded to Dan Kyeong-gak’s new attack. Ever since the Black Sky Company was destroyed, the North Sea Ice clan had continued to run and gained experience fighting numerous people, allowing Dan Cho-ja to move quickly.

‘Here!’

Papak!

Dan Cho-ja’s sword dug into the gaps of Dan Kyeong-gak’s technique and aimed for his heart. Fortunately, Dan Kyoeng-gak’s sword was simple and used a rudimentary form, but,

Clang!

“Uh?”

It certainly pierced Dan Kyeong-gak’s head, but Dan Cho-ja’s sword bounced off from the strong force that rose in the impact.

He was sent back at twice the force that he used in his sword swing.

Swish!

Dan Cho-ja’s sword missed for just a moment, but that small chance was all Dan Kyeong-gak needed.

“Hmp!”

Dan Kyeong-gak was about to strike Dan Cho-ja down like a bolt of lightning; Dan Cho-ja was able to watch it happen, but he had lost balance and wasn’t in the state to avoid the attack.

‘Damn it!’

At that moment, someone stabbed Dan Kyeong-gak in the ankle.

It was Dan Cho-jin, who immediately moved close when he thought that his son was in danger.

‘Huh?’

However, despite the sword stabbing Dan Kyeong-gak’s ankle, his hand didn’t stop as if he would kill Dan Cho-ja even if it meant losing his arm.

“Die!”

At that moment, Dan Kyeong-gak moved.

He changed his posture to take the balance off of his hurt ankle, and moved until a weird energy pulled back the hand about to cut down Dan Cho-ja’s arm.

“You’re so bothersome.”

Chun Yeowun said, making Dan Kyeong-gak’s face harden.

‘Ugh! This bastard!’

Shhh!

Thanks to Chun Yeowun, Dan Cho-ja didn’t die. However, Dan Kyeong-gak was still adamant in taking down Dan Cho-ja. The moment Dan Cho-jin’s sword reached him,

Pang!

“Kuak!”

Dan Cho-jin, who was attacking with a decent amount of force, was bounced back along with the sword.

‘The sword didn’t even touch him?’

Brrrr!

Dan Cho-jin’s sword trembled from the impact; it was a treasured sword made by a capable blacksmith, but the tip of the blade had cracked.

‘Is this man’s martial arts that strong?’

Dan Cho-jin glared at the Palace Lord with tense eyes, but even Dan Kyeong-gak was surprised at what he did. He, too, thought that he’d lose an arm.

‘What was that energy just now? Was it…?’

Dan Kyoeng-gak looked at his chest, and with a happy expression on his face, he moved once more.

Phat!

His opponent this time was Dan Cho-jin, who was barely strong enough with his breaking weapon.

Jjkkk!

Dan Kyoeng-gak formed ice in every direction with his sword to reduce the distance he had to move, but since he was rushing in to kill them, he didn’t concentrate enough on his surroundings.

“You stupid… Huh?”

Papang!

Dan Kyeong-gak’s body collided with the ice, which didn’t form correctly. In fact, an even colder energy rose in the opposite of Dan Cho-jin’s location and moved towards him.

Chachachang!

Dan Cho-jin hurriedly used his sword to take down the ice walls that formed, but the walls were quite strong and ended up pushing him back.

“Father!”

Even Dan Cho-ja couldn’t believe his eyes.

In the midst of the chaos, Dan Kyeong-gak went closer to Dan Cho-jin and immediately began to unfold a new technique to finish him off.

The technique came in like a crashing wave, creating numerous long strokes that carved out a path.

Papapak!

‘Shit!’

Dan Cho-jin, who wanted to avoid this at all costs, unfolded the Sword of Ice Cold Heaven.

Although the technique unfolded in an unstable way, since he had used it for such a long time, he was able to manage to handle it stably.

Chachacha!

When the two of them collided, a strong pounding sound resonated. Everyone watched the confrontation between the head of two North Sea Ice factions: the Palace Lord and the Clan Leader.

Everyone was curious about who was stronger between the Lord and Leader.

Chachachachang!

However, contrary to what they expected, the fight ended very quickly.

Since Dan Cho-jin had to constantly move to unfold his technique, the ice shards rushing in from Dan Kyeong-gak’s technique hit him easily.

Papak!

“Kuak!”

Dan Cho-jin was hit, causing blood to gush out of his mouth. His son, Dan Cho-ja, was shocked at the outcome.

‘My father lost?’

He believed that his father would come out victorious, never imagining that the loss would be this quick. Since his injuries were serious, Dan Cho-jin staggered and stepped back.

“Hahahaha! Just as I expected, you dog!”

“Kuak!”

Because of the pain, Dan Cho-jin couldn’t even talk back.

However, in reality, it was hard to understand what had happened. If their techniques were compared, Dan Cho-jin’s technique was much more developed, so why this the outcome?

‘Why did this happen? Was it because he reacted quicker?’

An unknown force seemed to be protecting Dan Kyeong-gak, and if he couldn’t be damaged, the fight was meaningless.

Dan Kyeong-gak opened his mouth with a smile,

“Now you’re all dead…”

Slash!

At that moment, a small sensation passed through his neck.

“Cough!”

Dan Kyeong-gak hurriedly tried to grab his neck, but his hand was stopped by Chun Yeowun’s energy.

“If you came back by freezing yourself, then you can’t come back by …hm?”

Chun Yeowun stopped speaking.

Something surprising was happening right in front of him.

Srrrr!

Of course, it would have been normal for him to die since his head was cut off.

However, something creeped out of his neck and the severed neck was fixed once more. And that wasn’t surprising enough, the skin around the neck began to regenerate again.

‘What is that? Nano, check it.’

[Yes.]

After Nano’s response, Chun Yeowun’s eyes trembled and his sight widened. When he zoomed in and looked closely, it seemed like thin wires were protruding from the bottom of the neck and reattaching it to the upper part.

“I need to have a closer look!”

Shh!

Chun Yeowun held out his hand and pretended to pull something in as a strong energy pulled Dan Kyeong-gak’s body.

However, a strong force rose as a white light shone within Dan Kyoeng-gak, who was about to rise.

Pang!

At the same time, Chun Yeowun’s energy was dispersed. No, to be precise, it was repelled.

Prrr!

Chun Yeowun’s fingers trembled because the force that was reflected back was twice as strong.

“Ha?”

It felt absurd.

On the other hand, the Palace Lord, who endured everything, couldn’t hide his happiness.

‘I can withstand that monster too?’

The fact that he was able to endure and hold back the monster made him feel great about himself. Dan Kyeong-gak licked his lips and smiled,

“Hahahahhaha! Did everyone see that? Even the Demon God can’t do anything to this Palace Lord!”

Chik!

Then, he ripped off the shirt. When he tore off the robe, he revealed a hidden garment that made Dan Cho-ja shout in surprise.

“Ice Cold Spear!”

The golden upper body armor that covered the body was the Ice Cold Spear, the sacred item of this palace.

Originally, it took the form of a staff, but it was a treasure that changed into armor when a certain amount of energy was put in.

“This is the power of the Ice Cold Spear, the divine item of the Palace!”

The gold iron wires from the armor constantly moved and restored his neck. Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up at the sight.

‘It has that kind of power?’

In the past, he didn’t know of its powers and just handed it over to the leader of the North Sea Ice Palace at the time. However, its abilities were amazing, starting with the neck recovery and the repulsive force.

It was outstandingly faithful to the role of thoroughly protecting the owner wearing it.

‘As long as this is on me, I’m invincible.’

Dan Kyeong-gak exclaimed in confidence.

“Elders of the Palace! Wake up! If you join hands with the Palace Lord, I’ll even handle the Demon God for you!”

He tried to restore the broken morale of his people, as even the elders who saw him in action were shaken.

However, no one could easily move to his side, so until he killed the Demon God, it didn’t seem like they would come to his side.

‘It’s possible.’

Clearly, the opposing young man was stronger than him, but he had an item with an amazing regenerative power and an energy reflection power.

‘If I take down the Demon God, everything will go back to normal.’

With his inflated hope, Dan Kyeong-gak pointed his finger at Chun Yeowun.

“Demon God! I bet everything to compete–.”

Shh!

At that moment, Chun Yeowun moved ahead of him.

’!?’

It was so quick that he couldn’t even react as Chun Yeowun grabbed the hand that had been pointed at him.

“Your hands don’t seem to have manners.”

“Ugh!”

Since Chun Yeowun was holding his arm too tightly, he screamed as golden lines came out of his armor and slowly penetrated into his shoulder.

Phhh!

It looked like the small wires were trying to stop the arm from falling off and restore his muscles back to their original state.

And when his shoulders stiffened, he thought that his arm was restored and tried to hit Chun Yeowun.

However,

Crack!

“Kuaaak!”

Suddenly, his elbow was torn; although his shoulder was being healed, the entire arm wasn’t able to withstand it.

‘H-how?’

As he had complete faith in his armor, he was flustered. Chun Yeowun’s fist flew towards his face.

‘Is he aiming for places without armor?’

He tried to tilt his head but he couldn’t match Chun Yeowun’s speed. In an instant, Chun Yeowun’s fist pierced his face.

Bang!

“Kuak!”

The strong power changed his facial structure and dented his bones. Staggering, Dan Kyeong-gak looked down at his armor.

‘Why didn’t it work this time?’

“You don’t seem to understand.”

Chun Yeowun said as he threw away the torn hand.

“There wasn’t any repulsion because I didn’t use internal energy.”

“What?”

Chun Yeowun didn’t use any internal energy when he ripped off the arm or hit the face.

Chun Yeowun had superhuman physical strength and was beyond human growth, able to crush people without using internal energy.

“Should we try again?”

“Wa-wait…”

“Wait for what?”

Chun Yeowun kicked his ankle.

Pak! Crack!

“Kuaaak!”

The kick broke his ankle and his body flipped three times in the air before it fell down.

Thud!

His eyes widened as he fell. He didn’t expect the fight to happen like this, which was why he was shocked.

Shhh!

A golden line from the armor slowly moved and healed his broken leg. However, the torn arm couldn’t be regenerated, and only the bleeding was stopped.

‘Damn it!’

Dan Kyeong-gak’s face hardened when he realized that he wouldn’t win this. His abilities seemed useless so he had no idea how to deal with this monster.

Tak!

Chun Yeowun grabbed his head and said,

“Unfortunately, the torn arm doesn’t seem to regenerate.”

Those words shocked Dan Kyeong-gak.

“Y-You…”

Chun Yeowun smiled at him and put more strength into his hand.

Grab!

“Your armor can protect your shoulder, now let’s see how well it protects your head.”

‘Damn… you!’

In Dan Kyeong-gak’s eyes, Chun Yeowun was the devil himself!

Crack!

“Kuaaaak!”

The lines from the armor secured the neck to prevent it from being pulled, but that caused the entire upper part of the chin to be torn instead.

’… Insane.’

Everyone who saw it turned pale. Once again, they could understand why Chun Yeowun was called the Demon God instead of God.

Pak!

The head was torn off as the upper part of the crown fell to the floor. No matter how great the armor’s regenerative power, it couldn’t restore a severed head.

Chachachak!

Dan Kyeong-gak’s heart stopped, making the armor return to the form of a staff.

Shhh!

The staff, which had lost its owner, was sucked into Chun Yeowun’s hand. Chun Yeowun, who grabbed it, looked at it.

“No scratches.”

Chun Yeowun could have easily used an Invisible Sword, Heart Sword, or sword of any attribute from the start, but he decided against it to avoid damaging the staff.

“Only two more left.”

In the end, five of the seven weapons were in Chun Yeowun’s posession.
