Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-252

There was a fact that Seol-Hwi learned from going through several lives. It was that there are definitely loopholes.

Things which existed in the system were not perfectly controlled.

Physical things which do not change, such as people, the weather, and the environment happen as planned, but if one looked more closely at them, they realized it was not so perfect.

Songhwa was such an example.

At first, the simulation judged that it was impossible to help Songhwa. However, Seol-Hwi overcame it without much difficulty.

Not that it was easy. Seol-Hwi still went through a fight of life and death. But considering that the system was thought to be omnipotent, it was easier to resolve than expected.

An uncertain variable, a flow depending on the situation.

Now that he thought about it, he would have been more correct to have given up on such things. The part where the loopholes in the System appeared was the human mind, the thoughts of the individual.

Yupae was such a case.

Since he was a person who placed a lot of importance on human relationships, he interpreted the orders given and helped Seol-Hwi by recalling the troops.

If it was all cold programmed logic, it could not have happened.

The psychology of judging oneself from deep within each individual. In other words, he thought that only by touching the ego would a crack in a system come.

In the meantime, Cheon Miryo’s words caused another reaction in Seol-Hwi’s head.

The words she said, “They half know me and half don’t.”

Does this not mean that Cheon Miryo was aware of the existence of the system and maybe even uses them?

“What kind of being are…”

“Wait.”

Cheon Miryo lowered her gaze as she spoke to Seol-Hwi.

With a gesture as if confirming something, she smiled brightly and continued,

“Fortunately, I found you.”

“…?”

“Please keep going. Do not give up halfway through the success.”

Tuk

She winked with one eye and flung herself through the window. She stepped on the roof and disappeared right then, and it was not long before he heard someone outside.

“Are you inside?”

“…!”

It was a familiar voice, one which Seol-Hwi recognized.

The Black Demon Warlord had come all the way to the place. After looking at the window where she disappeared, Seol-Hwi looked away.

There is still plenty of time.

It felt like he had to hold a deep conversation with her in the future to know the meaning of what she said just now.

Gu Dae-yeom stood a little further away from the entrance. It seemed like he did not want to enter the room.

“Did you come to a decision?”

As soon as Seol-Hwi saw him, he asked.

Seeing that he came over after handing over the disciple of Gu Jong-myung, it seemed that he had decided on something.

“Certainly, you are one with a lot of interesting things.”

“I will consider that as a compliment.”

“You.”

He paused for a moment and then said,

“Even if I come under the Fourth Disciple, our side still has questionable strength to them.”

“…?”

“Five of the recently joined Warlords were taken by the other disciples. There is a difference in available power, so even if I go, it won’t have a dramatic effect on our side.”

Is this a yes?

The words were said so, but Seol-Hwi smiled.

Recruiting this guy, due to the incorporation of Black Demon Warlord, the power of the Fourth Disciple would rise a lot.

The Earth Demon really has the chance to be a genius. Nevertheless, the other man continued,

“So I am trying to not get your hopes up. A disciple with three strong elders and the Heavenly Killing Star birth. A person who takes the lead there. And you, who could have brought the head of an elder but didn’t.”

“…”

Things felt strange.

Seeing him evaluate everything and himself too made Seol-Hwi feel awkward.

“So I came to check it. What skills do you really have?’

Maybe his pride took a hit.

Seol-Hwi could guess the inner thoughts of the guy.

The expression showed he hated it when he was defeated in the martial arts battle, and when his words were refuted.

Perhaps, from then, he had the heart to do this

Tsssss.

The air moved strongly enough to shake the ground, and seeing that, Seol-Hwi’s expression went stiff.

It was not flame arts or ice arts but pure demonic arts.

It was the first time he was encountering such a situation

I wonder if I am in the same situation as him.

Seol-Hwi looked at his palm.

It had not been long before he reached the Supreme Demon level. There was even a change in his body, but strangely he did not feel pain, and because of that, he thought that the new change was different from the past one.

It means that his internal qi could not be guessed.

Since he could not predict how many times stronger he would be, he was in a situation where it was difficult to know how strong he was.

So, he was thinking about Gu Dae-yeom.

Just how much was his newly acquired strength.

To be honest, he did not know at this point if his strength would be realized with demonic arts or through the normal martial arts.

What was certain was that Seol-Hwi could not say no.

“Then, please teach me.”

Srrng

Seol-Hwi took out the sword he received from the Black Moon Troops and used his energy.

He did not raise his internal energy like Gu Dae-yeon, nor did he get ready to use Demonic martial arts.

He just hoped that the airflow which passed around the sword would be handled at the tip

Wheik

Then a shimmering light shone in the internal energy at the tip of the sword with a white flash.

“You, just now…”

Gu Dae-yeom looked a bit taken aback at this sight. And he said,

“Is that the heart sword?”

There was the absence of a sword in the hand, but the sword existed within the heart.

It was an expression which came from a family of swordsmen, and it meant that the sword was not in the hand, but it existed where the heart and mind think it is.

By concentrating on something similar to it, the energy of the sword was made.

The energy at the tip of the sword was different from internal energy.

“Honestly, I don’t know either. It is my first time experiencing this.”

“First time…?”

The guy looked shocked. The movements seemed skillful, but they did not look like a lie.

It was an unexpected force, but he could not take his actions back. Seol-Hwi was getting nervous thinking that an actual battle would happen.

Tssss.

The airflow began to shake between the two men. Perhaps because it was intangible energy rather than simple attacks, the air seemed to crack.

“Let me check it out. If that is real or fake!”

Gu Dae-yeom moved as soon as his lips turned to a smile.

Sak!

Seol-Hwi continued to look at him. In the past, he would have reacted right away to move in for a surprise attack.

But he did not care at this point. Even while Gu Dae-yeom was getting ready and moved, he did not respond

The wave of energy.

Seol-Hwi was concentrating on this odd flow which was moving to him.

Chung!

When Seol-Hwi disappeared for a moment, a clashing sound then came. It was not some separate blow, but just one attack at close range

Kwaaaang!

The second was on the ground ten feet away from where they first clashed. As they moved, it felt like lightning was moving, but neither looked wounded.

And the third one,

Kwaaaang!

The clash of that was like a storm with parts of the ground collapsing. The sword which was stronger felt harder to handle, and it was the hit from Gu Dae-yeom.

Shhhh

Seol-Hwi, who was hit with the attack, appeared not far away. And seeing that made Gu Dae-yeom’s eyes twitch.

“You…”

“I was just lucky.”

At those words, Seol-Hwi briefly said,

“Shocking. Even if you seemed at a high level, I thought you just reached the Supreme Demon level, but to think you reached the level of using it as a master.”

“…”

“Wonderful.”

Gu Dae-yeom lowered his head. It was a look of admiration to Seol-Hwi’s skills.

For real…

Seol-Hwi did the same. He did not even know that he could do that. And it was unusual how his abilities seemed so strange to himself.

“This much is good enough. Now you should go and bring the Bloody Death Warlord.”

“…”

“Even if our side’s power has increased. The other side began to recruit warriors and moved to use the connections they have. If you are one who doesn’t like death, then it will be best to bring in the Bloody Death Warlord.”

“Ah.”

Seol-Hwi nodded.

“I know it will not be easy. They will need convincing too. But that is fine. To have such a person under the Earth Demon. I know my eyes aren’t wrong.”

“…”

“Today is a good day. A fun day. Hehehe.”

And he turned around just like that. He seemed to feel at ease now, but Seol-Hwi looked serious.

He could not believe that this fight ended with just one serious clash. And now he was not sure of the extent of his strength either.

“Hmm…”

Seol-Hwi looked at his body. His strength was much greater than before. For some reason, he felt like he had reached a higher level.

And on the other hand, he was feeling anxious.

For now, this felt like the best outcome.

He could not figure out what to do to get stronger than this.

The Demonic Sect looked peaceful.

And like usual the guards in armor were inspecting outside, and there was nothing to be wary about. However, the news regarding the Fourth Disciple had already spread throughout the sect.

Many people were shocked when he recruited the three elders who decided to live their lives in seclusion and officially declared the Black Demon Warlord would be under the Earth Demon. Some of the elders and the leaders of the sect even doubted this. But when it was confirmed to be true, everyone was shocked.

In particular, the shock of the other disciples except the Fourth Disciple was beyond imagination.

“What! They even recruited the Warlord!”

As soon as the First Disciple heard the news, he was so enraged that he broke down a door. The move of the Fourth Disciple, the man he considered as a nobody, was what gave him a huge shock.

“Do not worry too much. Didn’t we also get three warlords?”

Upon hearing the news of the elders being recruited, the First Disciple too began to move his people to get others under him.

He had put all his forces and effort into getting those he could get.

“The Black Demon Warlord is known to be at the center of the warlords. You of all people should know that this isn’t an easy thing!”

Still, the First Disciple did not seem happy.

Who was the Black Demon Warlord?

A leader of the Black Demon Unit, a main military force of the sect, and the warriors he had would stand at the forefront.

In addition, he had a reputation for being loyal and high in strength.

“Now that this has happened, the number of absolute warriors has increased. We need to find a stronger warrior!”

At his cry, all his subordinates began to think. Then they moved to achieve the results which the First Disciple wanted.

“This is more shocking than I thought. This is the potential of the youngest one?”

The Second Disciple was not thinking that oddly.

Although he had two Warlords, the fact that the Fourth Disciple had taken in the Black Demon Warlord meant the Fourth Disciple could not be ignored any longer.

“What do you want us to do?”

“We cannot stay still now. Tell the subordinates to investigate the pavilions.”

The Second Disciple had interest in the Silver Demon Pavilion, the place where recluse warriors went. It was because that would be the fastest way to match with recruiting skilled people the others had.

“Second Disciple. They…”

The subordinates titled their heads as the Silver Demon Pavilion supported the Third Disciple.

“Do not think too much and do as I say. They will move now,”

The Second Disciple snorted. The proper recluses were like that. If they couldn’t be moved so easily they wouldn’t be called recluses.

“What do we do next?”

Thanks to that, the Third Disciple was in a pinch.

After the rise of the Fourth Disciple, the First and Second Disciples began to move in earnest. And she knew things could not continue like this. And for her, bringing in more people was difficult.

“Lord. Now that it is done, why not bring in the prisoners?”

“Prisoners?”

“Yes, there are prisoners in the basement. They are those imprisoned because of their anger, and among them are those who are said to be extremely skilled. We can use them as much as we want.”

“What if there is a problem…”

The Third Disciple was not sure. The ones who committed crimes and were imprisoned, if they were brought in, the possibility of more troubles would rise.

“Then we use them right. They belong to the Fourth Disciple for the sake of everyone to see.”

“Fine. Let us do that.”

Her face brightened and the subordinate added,

“And we also need at least one Warlord.”

“Who is left now?”

“It is the Wall Demon Warlord who takes orders only from the Sect Leader, he won’t move. And there is the Bloody Death Warlord.”

“…The Bloody Death Warlord. Isn’t he neutral?”

“That said, the position is different from the Wall Demon Warlord. Before the other forces take…”

“Right. Get things ready now.”

And the Third Disciple hurriedly adjusted her clothes. The situation where the six warlords were being taken—

The Wall Demon Warlord was the one who was commanded by the Sect Leader, and was not someone who followed anyone else, so now there was just one warlord left.

Of course, the fact that the Bloody Death Warlord did not side with anyone meant there was no disciple who could take them.

Meanwhile,

A man stood in front of the Bloody Death Hall.

It was Seol-Hwi who came to convince him.
