Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation

Puak! Puak!

People began to die instantly.

There were 20 people in black. They took a look inside the inn, and it was blood and death all around. Among them were other people, innocent ones, and the Haenam disciples too. However, among those who had weapons, they could only block the attack to themselves but not anything more, so they died.

“You. Stay here. Whatever happens do not move.”

While the men in black took over the first floor in an instant, Seol-Hwi reached out to his subordinates and looked at Songhwa.

In the worst case, at least you guys should be able to run.

It held that meaning and Songhwa understood it right away.

<Would you like to open the toolbox?>

Is it because I haven’t been doing much lately?

Even in such a situation, the toolbox reacted very quickly.

Seol-Hwi took out the Wind Supreme Demon Sword and moved to the first floor.

“S-save…”

Kwakw!

As the fallen people were identified one by one, they were being turned to corpses, and a man in black was caught.

Step

The one man coming down from the second floor.

As if he could not see the blood which was spilled, he walked down, and seeing that calm demeanor, someone shouted.

“It is him! He is the one!”

The merchant, Geum Man-jung.

After meeting Seol-Hwi a few times, the man could recognize him.

“Hoh.”

The eyes of the First Disciple turned to him and widened as he looked.

It was a familiar face.

When did he see it? After thinking about it, he recalled the memories of the past.

“That crazy bastard from that time…?”

It was the guy he saw in the garden.

At the time, he was the one who brought one of his spies in front of the other disciples.

Could this be called fate? It was this guy that he came to discuss the legacy of Earth Demon with.

“How… did you find me?”

Seol-Hwi asked directly.

The demonic energy was too much.

Even if he wore a mask, he could not be unaware of the existence of the First Disciple in the first place. He did not even hide his demonic energy in the past either.

Shhh

The End Demon took his mask off and walked ahead.

“You… you are the successor of the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts which the Earth Demon inherited?”

“…?”

“You don’t have to act like you don’t know. Because I already know everything.”

The End Demon snorted at how Seol-Hwi looked, it was embarrassing and shocking.

The Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts—

These were martial arts given only to the Heavenly Demon’s disciples, and each of them has its own attribute of land, water, fire, and wind.

This meant that the winner would take everything in the struggle for succession and furthermore, they would collect all attributes.

The meaning behind it was simple.

This was because if they gather all four of them, then they can learn the Absolute Supreme Demonic Arts, the main martial arts of the Heavenly Demon.

“Hahaha!”

And now that End Demon managed to win the battle of the disciples, he acquired all four of the attributes.

The Fourth Disciple had given over the wind arts with the promise that his subordinates would not be touched, and getting the other things from the other two disciples was not so difficult.

However, before entering the closed training, he heard something more interesting.

“What? Is there someone who has mastered the martial arts of the Earth Demon?”

“Yes. There aren’t just one or two who confirmed it.”

“Ahem.”

The expression of the End Demon hardened.

Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts are martial arts given only to the disciples of the Heavenly Demon.

Occasionally rumors went around that he cared about his subordinates and spoke about this, but it wasn’t important.

Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts, Wind—

It was a problem because the person who left it was the Earth Demon.

What the Heavenly Demon gave was the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts. However, with a piece less than the usual size, he demonstrated the martial arts.

But the Earth Demon being the Heavenly Killing star must have gone beyond the limit of just the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts and reached the Absolute Supreme Demonic Arts too.

That was why he was the most threatening being.

The superhuman strength of the Second Disciple was taken down by the Fourth Disciple alone. However, if Earth Demon managed to leave something and someone had inherited it…

That was the worst case scenario of someone sabotaging his plan.

“Where is he?”

The End Demon felt concerned about this potential threat out there.

“It is known that he is dead but the whereabouts of his corpse is unknown…”

He heard something unexpected. Everyone thought it was nothing, so they didn’t care.

“Did anyone witness his death?”

“His subordinates saw it.”

“Is that so?”

The End Demon had a subtle expression for a moment and asked,

“…Then what about the subordinates?”

“That…”

Hearing that the subordinates were missing a while back, an alarm rang in his head—

The revelation of breaking away.

Like the cicadas shedding their shells to escape.

The Earth Demon left behind the last seed of martial arts, and he was sure.

“I will finish the closed training as soon as possible. In the meantime find out where he is.”

The guy called Seol-Hwi—

He heard that there was a place where he was living under the command of the Earth Demon.

The End Demon ordered Si Young to find that and investigate Seol-Hwi and the men who escaped.

And after three to four months of closed room training—

“I knew it.”

The End Demon could hear the reports of them all being gathered together.

The legacy of the Earth Demon was no delusion. It was actually happening.

“Right. Now let’s see your skills?”

And with that—

The 20 year old Supreme Demon began to act.

‘Is this my grave…’

On the other hand, Seol-Hwi thought of the year and half which passed. Oddly enough he had fun times.

Living with his subordinates, their laughter, and his smiles—

Living like that, he forgot he belonged to the Demonic Sect.

But his fate didn’t change.

He couldn’t live the full two years, but that was not important now. Even if he overcame the crisis right now, a bigger crisis will come.

The shadow of death called “system” will always appear before him in a different form. If there was something which Seol-Hwi realized in all his various lives—

How I die is more important than who I die to.

It was just that he had to find a reason. At least in this lifetime, he came to know that his actions can change the future.

And, he learned that no matter how much he ran, he could not escape from situations like this.

Shhh. Shh.

Seol-Hwi had stern eyes, and he watched the people in black surround him.

See. Their movements…

Could it be because his upper dantian was opened? It wasn’t clear, but he could see their movements.

Even if they didn’t clash yet, he could see how the sword would come at him—

And also how they react.

As if watching a simulation like he did in the past, countless paths were created and erased repeatedly in his head.

Tuk.

Here they come.

When one person moved to pierce him, that was the start of the attacks.

Papay

As if they all matched their movements to take him down, from left, right, ahead, and behind, they used their internal energy and ran straight for him.

They came from all four directions. In addition to the physical attacks, they tried to attack him from long distance as well.

Swish! Pung!

Peak Demon masters—

In addition to making perfect movements, they were fast, and it made it difficult for Seol-Hwi to track all of them.

The chain of attacks were done to take down Seol-Hwi at once. But in the blink of an eye, it turned into something unexpected.

Kakak!

The people in black who came in from ahead and left and right—

All of their attacks were blocked by one hit of Seol-Hwi’s swords.

“Ah…”

“What…”

Sword Touch—

It was one of the attack types, but it was also a technique that steals the opponent’s sword force and subdues it.

Moreover, Seol-Hwi spread the technique while avoiding the energy shots they were firing at him.

The opponents were all Peak Demons. The act of calculating their speed, their swords, and their attacks had to be done together. And it was something which was hard to believe.

“Huh.”

Their confusion was clear as they hesitated for a moment and that was their end.

Swish!

Seol-Hwi’s sword quickly moved to take down their necks.

Tuk. Tuk.

Without any reaction, the three men and women in black fell down.

“Such noise and yet not a single thought about reality,”

Seol-Hwi mumbled.

Maybe the opponents were taunted, this time eight people rushed at him.

Tatak!

Place to breathe…

Seol-Hwi’s eyes moved quickly.

One of the abilities that naturally ignites while climbing to the Supreme Demon level was the ability to detect the breathing of others.

Not just of how the body is doing but also the fact that others breathing can be clearly heard.

Three of them with swords out. Five others on this.

He figured it out with his senses, the sixth sense about the one attacking from left and right with physical attacks and that the five of them were doing something else.

Pat!

Seol-Hwi’s decision which followed was to subdue the guy who was attacking from the front. He ran out and stabbed the guy in the chest.

Puak!

With the recoil of it, the guy was forced back five steps.

“…!”

When the target suddenly moved, the eyes of the people in black shook.

In the meantime, Seol-Hwi began to pull the energy from the dantian and focus.

Right—

Swish

A cold feeling ran ahead in front of his eyes.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the ability of White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts which handles time now was exercised even without using a specific skill.

Just one breath—

It was deadly even though it had a time limit.

In the middle of the place, the air began to turn like frost from the sword of Seol-Hwi.

Papapat!

The airflow began to whiten out and spread in the seven directions around to hit the people in the back.

Pung! Pung! Pung!

Those who were hit by the airflow bounced back. The walls, ceiling, and the floor of the inn were all blown back in all directions.

Swish

And soon, the wood broke down and the mud rose into the broken inn.

Seol-Hwi who stood in the center of it smiled at their leader.

“That bastard. He has been hiding his skills all this time!”

The End Demon raised his eyebrows. It was a mixture of amazement and annoyance. And soon, like a guy who found his prey, he looked curious.

“I will handle it.”

Hyang Gae, who was watching, stepped ahead.

“No. Let it happen.”

“But…”

“This is the first thing after coming out of closed room training. I cannot yield yet.”

The End Demon smiled as he refused.

He waved his hand and walked towards Seol-Hwi slowly.

Tuk

With a few steps, he stood ahead of Seol-Hwi.

“Hehe, you pitiful bastard. At that time, the reason why you were fooling around without fear… was because of this?”

The End Demon looked at Seol-Hwi and looked on proudly.

Right.

“Well. Shouldn’t you be blaming the skills of your spies?”

Seol-Hwi answered bluntly.

“Oh, you jerk. After reaching Supreme Demon you must think that there is nothing more ahead.”

“Where could it be? Legacy? If the Earth Demon gave up his life for a reason, I should be protecting it. Are you coming all the way here to do something about it?”

“Oh, look at him? You knew that too?”

At the mention of the Earth Demon, the End Demon looked interested.

As far as he knew, a secret pact was made where only the End Demon and the Earth Demon knew of. Was this guy talking about that? Then it was surprising.

The legacy of the Earth Demon. His heart clenched even more.

Seol-Hwi said,

“At this point, be honest. You didn’t simply learn the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts right?”

“…?”

“Actually it was scary. Wouldn’t a person who has such martial arts come to harm me one day? No, I wonder if the person can be stronger than the Earth Demon.”

Seol-Hwi looked straight at him and said,

“No?”

“Hehe…”

The End Demon smiled like he was having fun and then raised his head a little.

“Must be similar… or should I say half right and half wrong?”

It was cold.

“…?”

“I don’t really care if it was like that, but actually my purpose is…”

Slowly—

A smile bloomed on to the stiff face and that smile—

It felt so terrifyingly vicious to look at.

“I like to murder.”

“…?”

“Especially the guys who come out with strong confidence and ego like you. That makes my heart pound.”

Lick

His long tongue snuck out like a snake, and he licked the lips. It was a disgusting smile to even look at.

“Fine then…”

The expression of the End Demon changed. He now had a serious look he had not had yet since he came here.

“Show me how far your skills have improved since touching the Supreme Demon level.”

Chang!

He drew the sword.

Wheing

At the same time, the flame rose in a purple shade.

The End Demon—

It was a ring of fire one does when the flame attribute of the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts were mastered.
