Descent of the Demon God
chapter-172-30041322

[Editor - Angel has dropped some of her tears.]

“H-how did you know?”

The shocked Hwang-heol asked. To say that he guessed the name with a few words was strange that the guess was correct.

‘Again?’

Chun Yeowun thought about the involvement of MS Group. Unknown to them, there was no place that MS Group didn’t touch, from politics to Gate Keepers to Murim. It was surprising that even this clan, which was horrible to control, was destroyed.

“How did you get involved with them?”

At Chun Yeowun’s question, Hwang-heol recalled the past. About 350 years ago, it was the time when Blade God Six Martial clan, who hadn’t been able to establish itself in Murim, was slowly trying to rebuild itself.

‘350 years back?’

Chun Yeowun was puzzled by the story. He had no idea that MS Group existed since then.

“The three of us, who were still alive as a result of the Spirit Beasts’ blood, were looking for a way.”

People hadn’t seen the Spirit Beasts again. It took a lot of manpower and time to find them. Then came word that an Imoogi had been discovered on Mount Oji.

“It was the last Spirit Beast in this world. So we moved directly to catch it.”

Imoogi was the leader of all the Spirit Beasts, and the Earth Dragon was stronger than the others. So the three of them went out to hunt it.

“We fought the Imoogi for half a day.”

The three of them were strong because of their long lives. Even though they had to work together to defeat the Imoogi, an unexpected thing happened while they were reviving their youthful bodies.

“Those people suddenly showed up.”

It had to be around the time they were all physically exhausted. An ominous energy emanated from a man wearing a silver mask and a man with red brows.

‘Red eyebrows.’

Chun Yeowun was reminded of someone when he heard the phrase “red eyebrows.” However, he soon became more interested in the ominous evil energy.

‘Was it him?’

The Heavenly Killing Star called Cho Yushin?

Hwang-heol continued to talk.

“We were wary as they suddenly appeared.”

Hwang-heol and the other two didn’t notice the people until they appeared. And they were well aware that these were not ordinary people.

Then the one in the silver hair suggested,

[I’ve been keeping an eye on you for a long time. If you join us, we will be able to stand as the strongest rather than a heretic in Murim.]

They couldn’t pass on the suggestion. It could have been different at any other time, but they were exhausted in the battle with Imoogi and thought that it wasn’t a good idea.

[If you want to hold hands, shouldn’t you at least reveal your identity?]

As a response to Hwang-heol’s question, the man with silver hair said,

[Right. I believe I misunderstood something. We are part of the Mu-seong group.]

“Wait.”

Chun Yeowun interrupted Hwang-heol’s story.

Hwang-heol was perplexed as to why this man said that, which prompted Chun Yeowun to pause for a moment and think…

‘A coincidence?’

Chun Yeowun was quite shocked at the answer which came out froom Hwang-heol from his question.

“And that group was MS Group?”

“… It is.”

Chun Yeowun’s face hardened. There was a time he was worried what this MS meant, but there was no record of it on the internet.

‘No way.’

Mu-seong was Chun Yeowun’s fake name. It was also the name of his descendant who had given him the Nano Machine.

‘Has to be a coincidence… right?’

He wondered if he was simply overreacting. Names could always overlap. The name Mu-seong couldn’t have belonged to one or two people in the entirety of China, and it wasn’t weird for companies to make up names either.

According to his subordinates who were stuck in ice, the descendant was going around with the name of Seong Mu-chun as a seer.

‘Must be a coincidence.’

No matter how he thought, there was no way Chun Mu-seong would create such an organization. There was no connection at all.

Hwang-heol, who noticed the seriousness, asked.

“Is there something wrong, Demon God?”

“… No, continue.”

It was suspicious but Hwang-heol continued.

“We were exhausted and not in perfect condition, so we ended up listening to them.”

Their condition, however, was that they give them the Imoogi’s core and corpse. In other words, they desired the entire beast. It was impossible for Hwang-heol and the other two to give up on preventing the aging process.

“In the end, we fought them.”

“Must have been tight. And all three of you?”

“No.”

“Hm?”

“There was one who left.”

Hwang-heol spoke while trembling. The old man who didn’t hide that evil energy had said.

[Blade God Six Martial clan. Huhuhu. I’ve finally met you. It’s unfortunate that you’re like this, but I’m hoping you’ll be able to satisfy me.]

An old man who uttered words they didn’t understand. As soon as the man was done speaking, he extended his arms towards them.

With trembling eyes, Hwang-heol said,

“I have met the Demon God and many more monsters in my life, but never a monster like him.”

Despite their exhaustion, the three of them worked hard. Of course, Hwang-heol hadn’t yet reached the Heavenly Master level at the time, but he never imagined such a crushing defeat in just a few seconds.

“If Ma Hu-yeon and the other hadn’t tried to stop them, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of there…”

Hwang-heol’s eyes turned red at the mention of Ma Hu-yeon. His face was full of anger and sadness.

Hwang-heol, the last of them, tried to escape from there.

“I never dreamt that I would run away again in my life after the fight with you, Demon God.”

Hwang-heol, who barely escaped with serious injuries, soon went to the base of the clan and then spread rumors that all of his companions and himself were dead.

“In the beginning, they sent out a lot of spies to find out if I was alive or dead.”

Hwang-heol had to hide himself like a dead mouse. At least until they disappeared, he thought that he should increase his strength. Contrary to his wishes, those people had invaded China a long time back and exerted influence in politics, the economy, and Murim.

“I had to change course in order to survive.”

He wouldn’t survive, judging that they were called “bad clan,” so he tried to change.

“At that time, we put on the pretense of being good and pushed into the Murim.”

From then, they were members of the association.

Chun Yeowun nodded his head.

‘So that was what happened.’

It was only then did he come to know why the Murim Association let them be in. The Murim Association was like the Forces of Justice which hated the Blade God Six Martial clan.

“I heard news that the group had suddenly disbanded 15 years back.”

The reason was unknown. It seemed like something big had happened to the MS Group. And the Blade Six didn’t want to miss the chance.

“Since then, we have been tracing them! We traced and pursued their whereabouts, seeking our revenge.”

His voice trembled as he emphasized it.

It was even more intense than his anger for Chun Yeowun in the beginning.

Chun Yeowun asked,

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to answer… Is it because of Ma Hu-yeon?”

As Chun Yeowun asked, Hwang-heol expressed sadness.

It wasn’t certain but he thought that the name belonged to a woman, and that this man had a deep relationship with her.

‘Revenge.’

Whether it was love or companionship, Hwang-heol’s sorrow for losing someone important had to be filled with revenge.

At that moment, Chun Yeowun asked another thing.

“Wait… You have been tracking the MS Group for 15 years?”

If it was the Blade Six, these bunch were famous for spies and having information no one had. So Hwang-heol yelled at Chun Yeowun at that.

“Demon God, you came in and ruined it at the crucial moment!”

“What?”

Chun Yeowun was taken aback at the accusation.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“I found after a long search that they were outside the gate barrier and not inside.”

“Okay.”

It was more information that Chun Yeowun knew. The result of tracking on a group for 15 years.

“However, thanks to the prison scenario that broke out, we turned out to be targets even in the eyes of the government and Murim!”

They were all put under surveillance as a result of Chun Yeowun’s fabrication. Unexpected events occurred. Furthermore, Chun Yeowun entered into an exclusive agreement with the Ministry of National Defense, which meant that no organization other than the Yongchun Group was allowed to leave the gates.

“… So you came here?”

“Kkum!”

At the question, Hwang-heol coughed.

Blade Six had no choice but to risk their lives in this war with the Yongchun Group. It wasn’t just to avenge some thousand year back revenge.

“Things just fell in like that, Demon God.”

“You are a funny one.”

Chun Yeowun clicked his tongue, looking at the man. If he had considered Chun Yeowun his enemy, he would have killed the man despite his body being weak. But in the end, the old man himself had given up, knowing he couldn’t do much.

“Still… It is unfortunate.”

Hwang-heol looked at the night sky. It was the first time he had said what had happened to anyone. The pillar of the current Blade God Six Martial clan.

He couldn’t show weaknesses like this, but he felt more at ease after speaking.

“Phew.”

Hwang-heol, who eased his heart, opened his eyes and asked.

“I have a request to ask from the Demon God. If you too, have something against the MS Group…”

“Against?”

Crack!

Hwang-heol clenched his teeth.

“Erase them from this world!”

With that, he stuck out his neck.

There was no more hesitating as he said everything he needed to say. It felt unjust that he couldn’t exact his vengeance, but this seemed fine.

Chun Yeowun then said to him,

“Well, fine. That request… let this bad friend do it.”

’!!!’

A smile crept on Hwang-heol’s lips at those words. It felt like his loneliness, pain and emptiness had been filled after a long time.

“Thank you.”

Hwang-heol felt at ease. The sound of Chun Yeowun raising his sword was heard.

‘Hu-yeon. Your revenge is left to the monster who can get it. We haven’t seen each other in these long years, so don’t criticize me when I see you.’

Slash! Tak!

The cold blade stopped on his neck. Hwang-heol opened his eyes.

“What are you doing?”

To which Chun Yeowun answered,

“It is a waste to kill you.”

“What?”

Chachacha!

The Sky Demon Sword turned into a wrist guard again, which resulted in Hwang-heol raising his head in anger.

“Are you sympathizing with me?!”

He didn’t want sympathy from anyone.

Chun Yeowun answered,

“No. This is not sympathy. I am just trying to use you.”

“Use me?”

Chun Yeowun smiled.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
