chapter 134
the sky clears
The night was over.
This is proof that the phenomenon of the Third Eye, which occurs every seven years, is finally coming to an end.
who made the night
Who put the Celestial Eye to rest?
A story that is discussed during each ceremony.
But this time there seemed to be no disagreement.
Because everyone’s eyes were on only one person.
“Gluttonous Reinhardt.”
name was called
Pride. Among the demon kings of Heaven, he is considered the most picky.
This ritual was like a test bed for gluttony. It was a forum to examine whether he, a human being, was suitable as a demon king.
Of course, it was an inclined test site.
I was sure that no matter how well I did, everyone would not admit it with prejudice.
However, nonetheless.
“Demon King of Heavenly Mountain.”
Pride admitted.
The fact that he called his name means that there is no change now. It was without a doubt that he would accept Reinhardt as a true glutton and the Demon Lord of Heaven.
It’s not just pride.
The same goes for other demon lords and demons.
What he showed me now is not a simple choreography.
‘······ What did you show me?’
Gyoman’s eyes were shaking.
Report sword dance.
Feeling his change and the change of the demons.
Even when he brought the cloak with the names of the ghosts who became demons for the first time, he thought it was ‘pretty good’.
It was no different from showing a direction point, a direction point, etc. in the first ceremony.
It was recognized that pride was beautiful because it was more individual and intense than anyone else.
But that was it. It is because the position of the devil is not a position that can be obtained simply because it is emotional.
‘I don’t know what I saw.’
But it showed
sword dance.
But it wasn’t just sword dance either.
what to say about it
Interacting and continuing…
This feeling of seeing beyond the sky, even for a moment.
‘One thing is certain.’
Still, one thing was certain.
That sword dance is, after all, an extension of martial arts.
A change was taking place inside the demons who had learned martial arts.
“The Heavenly Demon Sacred Art…was the ‘completion point’.”
that is the point of completion.
That it is like a period that completes itself and completes everything.
But if so, why wasn’t it like that in the first place?
Pride considered the Heavenly Demon a coward. Even though he had power, he isolated the demon realm. He was remembered as an irresponsible king who had that much power but did not take responsibility.
Didn’t he at least fight original sin, the first deadly sin?
Even if it is because the yaksha, the three deadly sins, is incompetent.
So Gyoman made a promise.
If he became a deadly sin, he would equip himself with strength and go out into the world.
gluttony said
“The reason why the Heavenly Demon created and shared martial arts is only for this moment.”
this one moment.
For the moment of awakening.
Gyoman asked.
“You mean it was to prevent demons from becoming ‘demons’?”
Pride grasped what was at the end of this change.
In the end, it was to prevent the demon from becoming a hematoma.
The curse of the Demon Realm was too strong. To prevent that curse, demons have evolved to hold more mana.
However, excessive loading of mana caused side effects.
He forgets his name, denies his existence, and becomes a demon.
It is said that the only thing that prevents the runaway phenomenon is the martial art and the heavenly demon divine art.
‘It prevents me from becoming a demon?’
‘Is that really possible?’
Light leaked out of the eyes of the countless demons watching.
to become a demon. Is there anything more terrifying than forgetting yourself and changing?
But there was no way. Whether it’s a demon or a demon, they eventually change at some point. So, if there was any sign of forgetting, he would take his own life.
But you can stop it. There is a workaround.
There would be no demons who would not be interested.
“Even if you have power and conquer the world, it is of no use if everyone dies. Thus, the heavenly horse drew a more distant future, ‘hope’. He hopes that one day his successor will appear and put an end to this nightmare.”
The Heavenly Demon sowed the seeds.
It is impossible for a seed to bear fruit in its own generation, but believing that one day it will be possible.
The successor was Gluttony, meaning Reinhardt.
“I still don’t understand. If martial arts are completed by the Heavenly Demon Art, shouldn’t all demons learn it?”
“You demon lords of sin. Have you learned martial arts?”
“… not cooked.”
Everyone, including Gyoman, shook their heads.
martial arts?
Why should I learn that?
Even if you don’t learn it, you are already strong.
That’s what weak people and normal demons learn.
“No matter how important it is, if you don’t go through it, it’s a law to dismiss it as unnecessary. Especially those who mistake themselves for ‘completed’ like the demon lords.”
As a result, it was dismissed as unnecessary.
If the demon kings do not take the lead and learn it, the atmosphere spreads throughout the demon realm.
Even if you force them to learn it, there is a limit.
As long as there are no results.
Disbelief will continue as long as there is nothing to see.
In the first place, it was said to ’empty mana’, but how many people would believe that word straight away?
But it showed.
At this moment, there were people who changed.
They were those who sincerely learned martial arts to some extent.
Gluttony smiled and said.
“Even now, it is not too late. learn martial arts If you learn how to empty it, you will naturally get away from the curse.”
*
The hematoma shuddered.
I couldn’t help but get excited.
‘The Heavenly Demon thought of our demons rather than conquest. And the Demon King of Gluttony is the true Heavenly Demon-nim’s successor, the Second Coming!’
There have been misunderstandings about the Heavenly Demon for a long time.
The two deadly sins, the Heavenly Demon, are cowards or selfish people who only know themselves.
That misunderstanding was quickly dispelled.
The Heavenly Demon is a benevolent being who thinks of all demons. He was a true god who gave everything for the survival of the demons.
And Reinhardt, the Demon King of Gluttony, was the successor of that god.
From the blood horse’s point of view, there was no choice but to heat up in the chest.
“It must have been true that learning martial arts reduces the possibility of becoming a demon.”
“I thought it was just a rumor…”
After the ceremony, the demons’ mouths became busy.
Among them, hematoma is the one that started to receive the most attention.
Anyway, the Blood Demon was the first to recognize gluttony and was loyal.
The blood demon opened his mouth in the center of his gaze.
“Mana erases curses, but at the same time promotes demonization. Martial arts is a law that allows you to properly handle this mana.”
“Even if you learn martial arts, there must be many demons who have progressed into demonization?”
“It is not possible to establish the ‘Path of Mana’ with normal martial arts. I can’t figure out the way Without the help of the ‘Heavenly Demon God’.”
“Then the Heavenly Demon Art is the completion point?”
“Only those who have mastered the Heavenly Demon Art can lead them to the ‘right path’. Only those who have mastered martial arts and realized their inner self are qualified to go on that ‘right path’.”
Those who are qualified can attain enlightenment just by looking at it.
In fact, the demons who learned martial arts while watching Reinhardt’s sword dance gained enlightenment.
He learned about the ‘correct way of mana’ that flows inside the body.
It’s not to the extent of opening the Eight Gates and ascending to the natural world like the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art, but just knowing the existence of the ‘Eight Gates’ will allow you to properly circulate mana.
“Then, should I ask Gluttony when I learn martial arts and become qualified?”
“Gluttony said that he would give a chance to those who deserved it, even if it was a demon tribe outside of Mt. Cheon.”
“ah······!”
voracity.
A person who becomes the demon king of the heavenly mountain even cares about the demons outside the heavenly mountain.
If demonization can be prevented from progressing, a huge number of demons will flock to Cheonsan.
If this is really possible, the types of demons that do not belong to the seven demons or the seven demons will no longer have to tremble in fear.
In an instant, you can build a colossal power.
No, that would be it.
It is truly a cataclysm to free them from the curse that has plagued the demons for a long time.
“What will happen when the ‘Demon Temple’ starts and Gluttony… gets upset?”
But there was a problem.
A demon war that will begin soon.
Only one person becomes a demon, a mortal sin.
Of course, demon lords could die.
“The only thing that learned the Heavenly Demon Art is gluttony. When gluttony dies, of course there is no ‘perfection point’.”
There is no successor.
If someone could teach and learn it, the successor of the Heavenly Demon should have come out right away.
Therefore, when gluttony dies, the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art also disappears.
It means that the guide who will lead you on the right path will disappear.
After hearing the blood demon’s answer, the eyes of the demons could see the complexity.
What if the demon king you follow wants to become a mortal sin, but gluttony dies in the process?
The way to resolve the long-cherished wish of the demons was to disappear forever.
‘It must mean that I have already been recognized for having these concerns.’
The Blood Demon smiled with pride.
In just one day, the demons began to recognize Reinhardt as the Demon King of the Heavenly Mountain.
I thought the confrontation with the other Demon Kings was natural.
As time goes by, this public opinion will become stronger.
‘Gluttony is the savior who will guide the demons who are lost and wandering.’
But it wasn’t that there was nothing to worry about.
The Blood Demon had blind faith in the fact that the one who would guide the path of the demons was Gluttony, Reinhardt.
But he was human.
What if he leaves the demon realm by chance?
What if it disappeared as suddenly as it suddenly appeared?
Could it be homesickness?
‘… We must never let that happen.’
Because Reinhardt had to be the only savior of the demon realm.
*
‘I don’t think even the Heavenly Demon could have imagined such a case.’
Returning to the palace right after the ceremony, I took some time to reflect on myself.
It was to organize the realizations gained while interacting with countless demons.
What happened to me was a case that was completely unthinkable with common sense.
Even the Heavenly Demon who created the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art wouldn’t have imagined a case like me.
‘Gyeongmun (景門).’
sixth door.
Because it opened all at once.
It was a completely unexpected result for me as well.
Could it be because the energy emitted from pure nanomachines was well fused with chakra?
‘I’m not sure how strong I’ve become.’
It was not something that could be determined by the level of energy accumulation or utilization of simple nanomachines, so even Zero was not sure of the extent of my powerlessness.
Isn’t that why you can’t catch and fight passing demons?
[It implements ‘augmented reality’.]
[Lv. Generates 150 ‘Malphiel’.]
But there was a way to check.
Bringing Malfiel to the real world was enough.
Of course, it won’t be visible to others, but it was clearly visible to me.
Malfiel at level 150.
The one who won by surrendering himself to original sin.
But now, I think I can do it without the power of original sin.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen that unlucky face.”
“…”
The guy was speechless.
However, it moved right away to attack.
The body of a huge dragon. Open your mouth and prepare to snatch me at once.
I opened the door.
Six doors, from Gaemun to Gyeongmun, were opened.
At the same time, my heart started beating like crazy.
I feel like my energy is exploding to the point where I feel dizzy.
I moved toward the flying Malfiel.
“Well?!”
It was the moment I thought I had stretched out my fist.
The body flew along with the fist.
can’t control the power
At the same time.
aaagh-!
