Chapter 211: The First Sin (3)
<b> The First Sin (3) </b>
As the barrier was on the verge of being ripped apart, the Pce Lord moved swiftly towards the crimson sky made by Gu Cheolun.
The authority given to him by his Heaven was close to perfection.
Itpensated for his own ws as well as enhanced the strength he already had.
<b><i>I will step into a new world.</i></b>
Thats what the Pce Lord told himself.
He convinced himself that he was different from his past self who used to crawl on the ground while being stepped on by the bastards from the Orthodox Faction.
Just likest time, he trusted the authority given to him by his Heaven
Crack
But it only took an instant for his trust to be shattered.
The man from the Unorthodox Faction saw a man under the reddened sky that resembled a cmity.
Despite the Great Oni having created the barrier with the power of Demonic Stones, the man was tearing it apart with sheer absurd strengthyer byyer.
The ming Demon, Gu Cheolun.
He was the man who had made a hole in the Pce Lords stomach.
He was a monster of a man who had formed powerful treaties with many people of the Unorthodox Faction, rendering them powerless.
<b><i>They say that the Sword Venerable is the pir of the Alliance.</i></b>
Wi Hyogun had been called that title when he was active as the Leader of the Murim Alliance
But the Pce Lord knew that it wasnt the almighty Sword Venerable that the Unorthodox Faction feared.
It was instead the ming Demon who was born in mes.
He could see the man who resembled cmity from afar.
At some point, he had wanted to kill him no matter what method it took, and at another, the red martial artist was an object of envy.
<i>Riiip-!</i>
After ripping anotheryer of the barrier, Gu Cheolun slightly lifted his head.
The clear, or the horrifying red eyes aimed at the Pce Lord.
!
As soon as their eyes met, the Pce Lord learned many things in an instant.
The Pce Lord was certain.
That even after many years and gaining authority, he wouldnt be able to win against the ming Demon.
He knew that just by looking at him.
The fire that stood there was the same as a cmity and unlike the rumors, his fangs hadnt dulled at all.
The ming Demon wasnt showing any anger, nor was he showing mes to prove that he had the blood of Gu n.
Furthermore, his focus was solely on the barrier; Though their gazes met each other, the force he was emitting wasnt aimed at him.
<b><i>Even so, its that much?</i></b>
The Pce Lord had thought that the tiger was wasting his life hidden in some mountain, but in reality, the great tiger was only taking a nap.
He could reign over whenever he wanted.
So what was he doing? Was he just taking a small break?
How nonsensical.
The Pce Lord whispered to himself.
He had been given that much authority and he had collected power by taking the lives of others.
But even so, he couldnt match him.
Not yet.
The Pce Lord, who had made eye contact with Gu Cheolun for a moment, turned around and headed somewhere.
Judging by the way he was breaking in so recklessly, the Pce Lord knew that it wouldnt be long until the barrier fully shattered.
And because he realized that he couldnt face the ming Demon, he told himself that it wasnt necessary for him to stay here any longer.
The Main Pce was going to be thrown away anyway as soon as his Heaven no longer needed it.
And since a problem had urred with his Heaven, there was no need for him to stay in this ce any longer.
<b><i> I am disappointed about the incident with the me.</i></b>
But there was always another day.
And leaving this ce with his Heaven was of utmost priority.
<b><i>It was wise for me to inform the Great King beforehand.</i></b>
As soon as he brought Gu Huibi to the Main Pce, the Pce Lord informed the ck Dragon about this.
All he had to do now was leave this ce without any regret.
One thing he was disappointed about was that he had to leave without any interaction with the ming Demon.
<b><i>Wait a little more.</i></b>
He had left his pride in the Abyss a few years ago, but he had never been able to give up his desire to rise.
Because he had confirmed that the ming Demons mes hadnt gotten any weaker, the Pce Lord only prepared.
He began to prepare water to pour down on that disgusting me.
And a heavy rain that would drench this degrading world.
He nned to make it all rain down on the world by filling up the cloudspletely.
<i>Crack.</i>
Blood flowed down from his clenched fist.
His look of turning around and running away despite being given authority.
He tried his best to ignore that pathetic appearance of his.
***
In between the nasty fog of Demonic Qi
Underneath the violet-colored moon that changed the sky from noon to night
<i>Dribble-</i>
The bastard poured a drink in a cup as usual.
With eyes that were slightly downcast, skin that was incredibly pale, and the violet-colored eyes that shone in between all of such things, I felt fear for some reason.
I knew that I was being pressured down by the aura that only this bastard had.
When I cautiously looked up, the eyes that resembled the moon were staring at me.
Noticing my gaze, the bastard spoke to me.
<i> -Your gaze seems strange.</i>
<i> -I am sorry.</i>
<i> -No need to apologize. I dont mind it at all.</i>
The Heavenly Demon lifted up the cup that was filled with alcohol.
All of that alcohol disappeared after a few gulps.
And after quenching that thirst, the Heavenly Demon stared at me without moving.
That gaze was ufortable, so I couldnt stare back at it for long.
<i> -Time to time</i>
<i> Swish-</i>
An unknown breeze of wind appeared along with the Heavenly Demons words.
<i>-It seems like you are looking at someone else through me.</i>
The Heavenly Demons words made my heart sink coldly.
As if every word spoken were sprinkling salt on my wound, already bing a scar.
Despite knowing that those words would fade away, the meaning that was held inside was too cold.
<i> -Are you thinking about the girl in your heart?</i>
<i> -No</i>
<i> -No, you say, how amusing of you to put it that way.</i>
It was true.
It was just a sophistry for me to escape.
<i> -Chuckle.</i>
The Heavenly Demon let out a small chuckle.
<i> -The Demonic Sword Queen who died for youIf she saw you like this, she would be very hurt.</i>
<i> -</i>
<i> -You still havent forgotten about her? How stubborn, that affection of yours.</i>
<i> -Thats not true, I-</i>
<i>-Lies do not work against me.</i>
<i> Thud.</i>
Along with the overpowering pressure that pressed down on my shoulders, the Demonic Qi that filled my dantian stormed.
As if it was acknowledging the owner who stood in front of me.
The pain continued to storm inside my body, but I endured by holding my breath.
<i> -I am sorry.</i>
Was my response finally satisfying?
<i>Dribble-</i>
Because the Heavenly Demon poured a drink in the cup once again.
After drinking a cup full of alcohol, the Heavenly Demon spoke to me in a chuckling tone.
<i>-I am curious.</i>
The world shook with each word.
This ce was the sacred ground of the Heavenly Demon.
<i> -Would you still be fine, even after that girl dies by my hand?</i>
<i> -</i>
The man didnt give any response and the Heavenly Demon let out a chuckle as if his appearance was entertaining.
In that situation, the man only continued to watch the Heavenly Demonugh.
Because that face resembled someone so much
And to look at that face of enjoyment, his insides that were rotting away felt like they were calmed down for a moment.
<b><i>Is it because I saw a smile on that face.</i></b>
At that thought, the man self-mockinglyughed.
After all, it was such an abominable thought for him to have.
To find a small constion in his twisted life was impossible because he had burned the bowl that held a bit of constion with his own hands.
His insides were empty.
The only thing left there was the regret that continued to burn.
In between the ufortable air, I lowered my head and closed my eyes.
***
Inside the room filled with Demonic Qi, I started to wonder as I looked at the child in the arms of the Pce Lord.
<b><i>Why does it have the appearance of a child?</i></b>
The fact that it was skinny and the fact that its eyes seemed like they were spacing out unlike the ones I saw in my past life wasnt important.
The important thing was that that child was definitely the Heavenly Demon that I knew of.
<b><i> This is impossible.</i></b>
Was it just my mistake? I told myself that it was possible that I didnt know better but because I knew that it wasnt something I could mistake, I only bit my lips.
The child had a face that looked too simr to Wi Seol-Ah.
Furthermore, those unique eyes as well.
Others might be a different story, but it was impossible for me to not recognize who that bastard was.
<i>Grrrgle-</i>
<b><i>Shit.</i></b>
Just look at it, the Demonic Qi inside my body is storming this crazily.
So how could it be a mistake?
The problem was why the Heavenly Demon was in this ce with such an appearance.
After all, the Heavenly Demon that I knew of had a body that was much more mature than its current state
<b><i>And it said that it came from the Abyss.</i></b>
It broke through the Alliance, and it came down upon the world through the Abyss.
Thats what it told me.
But in reality, the Heavenly Demon already existed in the world before that
And it was in the ck Pce with such an appearance?
<b><i>I dont understand a single thing.</i></b>
What the hell was going on here? None of these things were something I could have ever imagined.
It seems like you cant hear me.
!
I tilted my body after feeling a sudden sensation.
<i>Crrrrggg!!</i>
The Pce Lords energy stormed in the room and attacked me.
You dodged it?
The Pce Lord let out a surprised reaction.
He seemed like he wasnt expecting me to dodge.
I ignored my dantian that was aching in pain due to my sudden movement and spoke to the Pce Lord.
Your way of greeting is a bit rough.
That face and energy I see, so you are the ming Demons son.
The ming Demon, huh
I hadnt heard that title in a while.
I knew that father was called by such a title, but I couldnt believe I met someone who actually called him the ming Demon.
The True Dragon, was it?
Im honored, for the Lord of the ck Pce to know who I am.
Of course I know, how could I not? Especially when we have a bit of a history.
Did he mean my encounter with the ck Pce when he said history?
The Pce Lord continued to speak while looking at me.
You look identical to your father.
Im sick of how many times I heard that now.
I thought that your older sister was an extraordinary talent, but seeing you makes it impossible to describe you as such.
As the Pce Lord said such words, I noticed that some unknown emotions were in his eyes.
Was it envy?
Or was it jealousy?
A martial artist who had reached the Fusion Realm, or even the peak of it, showing such emotions to me felt very awkward.
Now will you answer me, how did you open that door?
What do you mean by how did I open the door, isnt it obvious that I pushed it open?
I checked behind me as I responded.
Because of how much Demonic Qi there was, it seemed like the swordsmen of Gu n couldnt easily enter.
<b><i>What should I do?</i></b>
If the child in the arms of that bastard really was the Heavenly Demon, I couldnt afford to let him escape.
How fascinating.
What is.
Your eyes seem as if you know who this person is.
The Pce Lord was calling the Heavenly Demon, a person.
And just by him calling the child by such a title, it meant that they didnt have a good rtionship.
<b><i> Does that mean that the Heavenly Demon turned the Pce Lord into a Demonic Human?</i></b>
Not only him, but all the other martial artists of the ck Pce.
Did the Heavenly Demon y a part in that?
Just like the Demonic Humans in my past life.
<b><i> In order to learn about this</i></b>
I had to capture the bastard no matter what.
Even if I stood no chance against him.
<i>ze-!</i>
I immediately summoned mes after charging my Qi.
My dantian was still aching in pain, but I couldnt afford to hesitate just because of that.
When the Pce Lord saw me charging up my strength, he formed a slight smile on his face.
I dont believe that a child like you knows your own ce. If thats not the case, does my generosity seem funny to you?
When the Pce Lord drew a line with his hand, the energy that filled the room instantly attacked me.
I increased my speed while burning my mes.
<i> sh.</i>
I tried to attack the Pce Lord, but when I reached him
<i>m!</i>
Ugh!
But my side was exposed to the Pce Lords arm.
Along with an explosive sound, I flew far backward and rolled on the floor.
<b><i>Its hard for me to react properly because I cant use my energy to the fullest.</i></b>
Its already a difficult situation because of the differences in our levels.
But because my dantian wasnt working properly, this was almost impossible.
<b><i>But youre telling me to let this go when its right in front of me?</i></b>
How could I?
<b><i> Even if by using Blood Qi</i></b>
By doing everything that I could,
Even if the process destroyed me
I had to capture the bastard.
Because of the current situation, Im not killing you which you should be thankful fo-
The Pce Lord started talking, but suddenly stopped.
This was the same for me as I was about to use my Blood Qi.
The reason was because the Heavenly Demon, who was in the arms of the Pce Lord, had its finger pointing at me.
Shortly after, the Heavenly Demon spoke.
That.
My Heaven, howe you?
Is mine?
It tilted its head as if it was confused.
<b><i>Perhaps</i></b>
It was reacting to the Demonic Qi inside my body.
If that child really was the Heavenly Demon, such a thing was possible.
Because my ability to absorb Demonic Qi, was the Heavenly Demons power in the end.
Right then
<i> Grrrrr-!</i>
!
The Demonic Qi that was sealed inside my body, began to boil.
And because the Demonic Qi went wild inside my body, my dantian that was already in pain screamed inside.
Ughhh!
Mine
It seemed like the Heavenly Demon in the arms of the Pce Lord knew something.
<b><i>Fuck</i></b>
My Demonic Qi began to move.
It felt as if it was trying to escape my body with a will of its own.
And because Demonic Qi was a type of energy, it leaving my body in an instant would damage my body, so I had to block the flow of the energy while enduring the pain.
How is such a thing
During this, the Pce Lord noticed the energy that was going wild inside my body.
His eyes widened even more.
Howe How do you, possess that energy?!
As if he was angered, his voice had an emotion.
I was curious why he was showing such emotion, but I couldnt afford to question that at this moment because I was busy enduring the pain.
As I continued to struggle with the pain for what felt like an eternity
<b>[Rrr.]</b>
From very deep inside my dantian, I heard a sound.
It sounded as if it wasnt happy about something.
<b>[Grrr]</b>
It was the growling of a beast.
Gasp!
At the same time as I was surprised, the Demonic Qi that was storming inside my body calmed down.
Huff Huff
Along with cold sweat flowing down my body, I panted out as if I was screaming.
It was that painful.
But it also made me curious.
Because the Demonic Qi that felt like it would explode at any moment, calmed down in an instant.
Shortly after this, when I looked up at the Heavenly Demon
<b><i> Why is it afraid?</i></b>
I saw that the Heavenly Demon was shaking with a face full of fear.
Such an appearance resembled an ordinary child which made me angry.
My Heaven, what is wrong?
The Heavenly Demon didnt answer the Pce Lords question.
It only continued to stare at me while shaking.
When I looked at that, a thought crossed my mind.
<b><i>Did it notice?</i></b>
The Blood Demon, Dok Gojunsment about how there was a beast inside my body.
Was what I heard earlier the growling sound of that beast?
If that was the case, was the Heavenly Demon afraid of that beast?
Because if that wasnt the case, how could you exin such a reaction?
<b><i>But what is this beast? What the hell is inside my body?</i></b>
To think that such an existence would feel fear from it.
This is something that I cannotprehend.
It seemed like the situation was iprehensible for the Pce Lord too, seeing as how he spoke in a confused tone.
However, his voice also had murderous intent.
So, I shall clean this up now.
His energy gathered into one to form a shape of an awl.
I could tell from his Combat Qi that he was aiming that at me.
However
My body wasnt listening to me because of what happened earlier.
So at this rate, I would die by his energy drilling a hole into me.
Right then
Tsk
The Pce Lord, who was about to release his energy, clicked his tongue.
I wasted too much time it seems.
As soon as the Pce Lord spoke in a disappointed tone
<i>aaze-!</i>
mes entered the room through the passage behind me.
The mes surrounded me as if they were trying to protect me, then they formed a wall in front of me.
And judging by this heat and the color of it, I could tell whose me this belonged to.
You really try your best to get in trouble.
Along with a voice that had no emotions
<i> Thud.</i>
Heavy Qi appeared as if it was trying to pressure down the area.
And as if the Demonic Qi that filled the room didnt affect him at all, the Tiger Warrior Gu Cheolun, my father, stepped into the room.
I told you not to act rashly, but you still caused trouble.
Surely the Demonic Qi would make it hard for him to breathe, but Father acted as if it didnt affect him at all.
Such a thing was impossible.
Demonic Qi was no different from deadly poison to a martial artist who had Qi.
Pce Lord.
The Lord of the ck Pce smiled on his face after hearing Fathers call.
It has been a while, ming Demon.
You broke the promise.
Im sure that you also didnt believe that I would keep this promise until the end of time.
Despite the Pce Lord speaking in a mocking manner, Father didnt show any reaction.
It looked as if he didnt care.
I guess even a demonic man like you cares about your own child, for you toe all the way here after putting aside your work.
I wont have any unnecessary conversation.
To prove his words, Father gradually surrounded himself with mes.
Seriously, the amount of Qi he had was as overpowering as ever.
However, the Pce Lord continued to smile as if he wasnt afraid.
You dont need to act strong, even though you must be having a hard time.
Silence.
mes made by great strength flew towards the Pce Lord to burn him
<i>m!</i>
But a wall formed by the Pce Lords energy blocked the attack.
His wall of energy shook for an instant as if it was about to break down, but it couldnt fully break through.
<b><i>It doesnt seem like hespletely unaffected by Demonic Qi.</i></b>
It didnt feel like a mistake, because in my eyes, I noticed that father was shaking for an instant.
Dont be in such a hurry, we are going to see each other again anyway.
Finishing with those words, the Pce Lord stepped backwards.
Towards the entrance to the Gate of Demons that shone in a violet color.
I, too, have something I want to talk about with your son, so we should be able to see each other soon enough.
I clenched my teeth as I watched the Pce Lord getting further away.
It was because my body still didnt move.
<b><i>I have to let him escape just like this?</i></b>
That cmity that was in the arms of the Pce Lord?
As I continued shaking, the Pce Lord whispered to me in a quiet voice.
Once that happens, Gu n will have tomit the First Sin.
!
Finishing with that sentence, the Great Oni, the Pce Lord, and the Heavenly Demon disappeared after entering the Gate of Demons.
Up until thest moment, I stared at the Heavenly Demon.
And the young Heavenly Demon also stared back at me.
When the Gate of Demons swallowed up all their members, it disappeared as if it closed its eyes in the air.
So quietly that it felt like it wasnt there to begin with.
<b><i> Why?</i></b>
Despite the fact that I let the Heavenly Demon escape, I had to rethink what the Pce Lord saidst.
<b><i> Why did the Pce Lord leave after saying such words?</i></b>
The First Sin.
The First Sin of the Gu n.
That was when they opened the Gate of Demons for the first time in the world long ago.
That was what the First Sin, and the duty of the Gu n, was.
