“That… is the Blood Rain Sword God?”
“Why is Mr. Yupae here…”
The members of the group doubted their eyes.
Even when the Eight Iron Demon Kings appeared, they didn’t look this shocked.
When one of the Eight Kings approached Seol-Hwi, some turned their heads away, unable to watch. Yet at such a time this man appeared.Whatever he was thinking, he did manage to block the path of the man who is his ally.
“I-I remember. The Bloody Annihilation Squad was deployed into this fight.”
“Ah.”
If they were deployed, then having the man down here wasn’t so strange. Everyone nodded at Yong Jin’s words.
“Wait, but what does he have to do with this situation?” Imugi asked.
Yupae isn’t under the command of the Earth Demon but the Demon Lord. So why is he helping Seol-Hwi?
“Uh… perhaps…?”Songhwa frowned as if he could guess something.
“Perhaps what?
“The captain told me to call for help. I thought why would…”
A distress call with fireflies, that is how the Fanghsi signal for help.
The signal must have spread out when the fight began, and it must have been seen by Yupae.
But, why him?
The question was answered by Seo Ryeong.
“Last time, we solved a difficult situation for your troops. However, it wasn’t something a group like ours could normally handle. So, the fact that the Bloody Annihilation Squad had arrived late was emphasized.”
“Ah, I remember, Yupae is the captain of that squad, and he mentioned he was sorry for not arriving in time and would definitely help out next time. Then…?”
Jeok Song hit his own knee. Yupae wasn’t a bad person.
It was easy to predict that he wasn’t a Demon but a God from the title he had been given.
He was a person who must have walked down a decent path. Furthermore, he is a person who doesn’t speak without meaning what he says.
And he did expose his regret of not being able to do the task handed to him last time. So…
“…Shit. The captain intended to have this man pay his debt back in this situation.”
“Ah.”
“Wow.”
Everyone looked genuinely shocked.
Now that they saw it, they realized the reason Seol-Hwi didn’t hand over Songhwa was because of this. He still had this trump card in the back of his mind, believing Yupae would come and help him.
He was taking into account the existence of this man who could defeat all of the enemies he faced in this battle.
“This is a freaking amazing situation.”
“For real.”
The members realized Seol-Hwi’s grand plan and clicked their tongues. Did he just think of using the personnel of the enemy to get himself out of this situation?
“See? That is my master.”
Meanwhile, Imugi was gently praising himself with a face of pride.
It was like putting an extra spoon on a neatly placed table and it was disgusting.
But the members, despite having been saved, were shocked.
“Will he get involved though?”
It was because they had a greater desire to make sure that this situation would indeed turn hopeful to all.
And Seo Ryeong nodded.
Yupae was known to be a fairly rational man with a neutral position. But, right now he is under the command of the Demon Lord.
In addition, in this fight the Ghastly Troops had taken an obvious loss. Seol-Hwi and his men had taken down the Soulless and Kangshi.
And they were the forces of the Demon Lord.
“…He must have thought of it too,” said Yorim.
However, Yupae is definitely a man of his word.
The lives of everyone there depended on what decision he would make. That decision depended on how persuasive their captain would be.
“This is.”
Yupae turned his head.
After recovering the long blade, he smiled at the Demon King who was standing there.
“I am sorry for blocking your path.”
“Ah, no!”
It was then that the Demon King came to his senses.
This man was a person known to be an incarnation of war, but in front of Yupae he felt like a child.
“You are here, Bloody Annihilation Squad Captain?”
The Eight Iron Demon Kings came one after another to greet him.
Tak~
It didn’t need to be done, but they all did it due to his power. Yet they all looked awkward like they weren’t feeling right about the situation.
“We greet Mr. Yupae.”
And like them, even the Ghastly Troops bowed their heads. They did hear that Yupae would join the war this time, but they hadn’t crossed paths yet.
Right, he was on the front lines, annihilating those of the Mount Hua Sect.
Yupae has always been such a person.
He was the right arm of the Second Disciple and one of the top ranked people in the Demonic Sect. There were only 13 people above him.
Rank 14.
This was a ranking that involved 10,000 other people, which meant the pressure it held was enormous.
“Everyone stand up. I didn’t come here to greet… uh? Seven Messengers Ma Taryong?”
He looked around and waved his hand.
Ma Taryong too bowed.
“I greet you, sir. Has it been six months?”
“Yes, the information you gave us has been helpful. As expected of the Seven Messengers. I will be depending on you more in the future.”
“N-no.”
Seol-Hwi’s eyes widened at their talks.
The person who received the information from Ma Taryong was none other than Yupae.
This was something he didn’t know.
Ma Taryong and Yupae continued to talk brightly, laughing and all. It seemed like their relationship wasn’t so bad.
“But…”
Yupae’s bright expression turned black and turned to the man who called him, Seol-Hwi.
“Why did you suddenly call for me, Captain? And why are you fighting the people of our Sect?”
“I am actually curious about that too.”
Seol-Hwi answered right away. There was an excuse he had prepared for this.
“Why are you asking me when they picked a fight with us?”
“Them? The Ghastly Troops? They started this?”
“Mr. Yupae, I will say just one thing.”
A woman who had been silent until then came forward. It was Yeorin, the captain.
“Go on.”
Again, they decided to appeal to Yupae.
After glancing at Seol-Hwi, she said, “As we prepared for the battle, we felt a considerable spell placed in an unexpected area. We went to find out what was happening, and they were there.”
“…And?”
“Among them was a Fangshi of a high level with considerable power. In addition, they were with the Fourth Disciple’s people.”
Yeorin pointed to Songhwa.
“Come to think of it, I thought it would be difficult for the Fourth Disciple to have a Fangshi of such level under them, so I asked them to give me the child in order to prevent any obstructions to the Second Disciples growth but they refused. That is how this situation unfolded.”
“Ah…”
Yupae sighed.
His troubled face softened a little.
Huh, foolish bastard.
The captain of the Hidden Truth Corps must have seemed insane to Yupae, but even if he was called here, this would change nothing.
On the contrary, they can now let Yupae carry out their task as he was the right hand of the Second Disciple.
“Fine. Then I will ask one thing.”
“Yes.”
At Yupae’s words, Yeorin bowed her head, but the words that came next were completely unexpected.
“That child, the young Fangshi who looks to be around ten years old, he looked that powerful to you?”
“…Uh?”
Yeorin closed her eyes. She was expecting something along the lines of “let’s get him right now,” but Yupae was speaking with an uncomfortable expression on his face.
“You’ve basically said that the child is so important that you had to kill him. The Ghastly Troops, along with reinforcements, all are moving for this.”
And right at the end, Yupae made his point, causing Yeorin’s face to go still.
“That is…”
It was difficult to answer because if she said “yes,” it would be basically saying that she felt threatened by a child.
And if she answered “no,” then…
“Speak.”
Seeing Yupae speak like this, she bit her lip.
“The path of spells is hard to predict. There is a saying that a tree growing just days after an incident is a huge deal and if that child grows up, the future…”
“Then, now.”
Yupae cut off Yeorin’s words.
“He isn’t at the point of threatening your unit’s existence currently, right?”
“…”
Her lips twitched as she bowed her head. For her, Yupae looked like a different person.
The attitude of being careful about the future and trying to step on the child in advance, it now all looked like everything she did seemed to be something he didn’t approve of.
“I apologize. This is. How can a person who holds the position of Captain do such a thing?”
Tch
Unsurprisingly, Yupae clicked his tongue while looking at her. A warrior in the Demonic Sect and one who was well known for his deeds did this.
He probably didn’t like how she brought in so many people despite the obvious difference in skills.
“Is that child such a plant which we have to stamp out right now? I don’t know. As you said, one can never know what happens in the future, and if I let that child go now, is there any guarantee you can give me that he will become strong enough to threaten the Demon Lord in the future?”
“That…”
“Can you make that guarantee on the name of the Ghastly Troops?”
“…!”
Yeorin went silent.
This man could kill her if she made a false promise, and she knew that anyone could die at anytime, anywhere in the Demonic Sect.
Such is the future of those in the Sect.
“It is absurd. If there is a person with such potential, you should be cherishing them, not cutting them down. You should think about building them up rather than about eliminating them. No matter how serious the fights between the factions are for the sake of power…”
Tch
Yupae clicked his tongue again.
Even if they are fighting against each other currently, they are all the members of the same Sect, and in the future, they might be serving under the same person.
The path taken should never be a path of slaughter.
Ultimately, one grows power for the sake of governing.
Yupae, rank 14 in Sect, thought that Yeorin was being pathetic.
This was due to how narrow minded she was. She had moved to strike down other people of the same Sect simply for the fact that they didn’t serve under the same person as her.
And to kill Ma Taryong…
Especially the man who had given them the information about Mount Hua, she was ready to eliminate him as well.
She might be able to kill them all, but once news of this incident spread in the Sect, it would diminish the dignity of the Demon Lord.
“But, Mr Yupae, they crossed a line too,” Yeorin said.
She looked like she was being treated unfairly.
“They destroyed the Soulless we have created, and more than half of them are no longer in a usable state. This damage is…”
“You still don’t get it!”
Yupae cut her off, causing her to flinch.
He had already looked extremely angry at the unit as a whole, and now he had reached the point where he started yelling.
“That damage you speak of, isn’t that what you brought on by yourselves! If you had helped them instead of fighting them, and maybe if you said you would escort them back, you would have retained all of that! Why did you think you had to use your forces against them in the first place!”
“…!”
Yeorin’s face went pale.
The quiet and dignified person she knew had now reached a peak and was severely criticizing her, which was terrifying.
“This loss of the Demon Lord’s forces falls to you! You have no idea what you should be doing and cannot even recognize the strength of others! Do you not realize yet? If they hadn’t called for me, not a single one of your Soulless, no, the entire troop of yours would have died!”
“…Uh?”
What did this mean? When she looked at the situation, it felt like they had the upper hand.
“Are the Ghastly Troops strong without Soulless? No! Then how could a man who destroyed the Soulless in such a unit be weaker than your own measly forces? And what! You constantly speak as if you were justified in all of this! I will tear apart that mouth of yours with my own hands!”
Yeorin frowned at this.
She looked at Wolsa, who stood to the side and shook his head.
Do not say anything more. It will only bring trouble.
Yupae was a person as such. If one spoke of being unfair in such situations, he would really rip their mouths apart.
