Descent of the Demon God

Chapter 189: Encounter (2)

Baeki was nicknamed the Thunder Swift Kick.

He was one of the Six Swords and known to be the closest to Chun Yeowun. As the 14th leader of the Pure Kick clan, he was a legendary figure who led the revival of the Sky Demon Order by Chun Yeowun’s side.

From generation to generation, the descendants of the Pure Kick clan continued to respect him; the same with Baek Jong-so, the current leader.

Baekgi looked at Baek Jong-so, who was bowing on the floor.

“The legendary—”

“Shut up!”

Baek Jong-so went silent at Baekgi’s words. Unlike the others, Baekgi wasn’t fond of his title.

“Do you want to announce that to everyone here?”

“N-No!”

Baek Jong-so shrank from Baekgi’s cold words. His ancestor, the legend himself, had neither a single kind bone in his body nor a soft spoken personality. He was blunt and even colder than Chun Yeowun!

“Very disappointed. As years passed, we should have progressed forward.”

Baekgi kept repeating his thoughts. He thought that even if the clan didn’t evolve, it would at least not regress but seeing Baek Jong-so’s skills, he knew that the clan was now a mess.

“I apologize.”

This realization made Baek Jong-so depressed as well. When he was a lot younger, his own father, the leader, had disappeared, so regression of Pure Kick martial arts was inevitable.

However, Baek Jong-so wasn’t the kind to make excuses, so he just let Baekgi continue yelling.

‘So stubborn.’

Hu Bong shook his head as he looked at Baekgi, who was the most inflexible and blunt among the Six Swords.

Unlike the others, he had taken a while before being loyal to Chun Yeowun because of his great pride.

“Yah! It isn’t because he wanted this that…ugh!”

Hu Bong was about to speak up, but Mun Ran-yeong stopped him and whispered,

“Bong Bong. This is a matter of their clan from now; let them figure it out.”

She didn’t think it was right for Hu Bong to intervene, so he obeyed his wife’s words the same way he obeyed Chun Yeowun, stepping back.

Baek Jong-so couldn’t even raise his head and decided to speak,

“There is no excuse for this to happen in my time. I am sorry for disappointing you.”

“Huh.”

Baekgi snorted, stretching out his hand towards Baek Jong-so and raising him up.

“Ah!”

As soon as he stood up, Baekgi suddenly took a stance, and unfolded each technique without speaking.

Papah!

As each technique unfolded, Baekg Jong-so couldn’t stop his trembling eyes.

‘This is the…Pure Kick technique?’

It was different from what he knew: it seemed too perfect to be changed or improved.

‘He’s so kind.’

At the sight, Mun Ran-yeong smiled. Baekgi was pretending to be cool on the outside, but he was trying to display his clan’s techniques. She clearly understood his intention.

Shk!

After unfolding all 8 forms of the technique, Baekgi adjusted his posture said to Baek Jong-so,

“Did you see that?”

“Y-yes!”

Baek Jong-so answered as he trembled. As a person who practiced the Pure Kick technique daily out of a desire for perfection, Baek Jong-so was amazed to see it in person.

“It is really amazing.”

“Stop using your mouth. I’ll give you a day.”

“Sorry?”

“If you’re the leader of the clan, then you need to master the techniques I just showed within 12 hours.”

’12 hours?’

Baekgi was puzzled about the 12 hours. In actuality, Baekgi’s 12 hours meant 24 hours in the current time; Baek Jong-so’s mission was to master the technique within a day.

“A-ancestor!”

“No excuses. If you don’t meet my expectations, I will have to change everything here with my own hands.”

Baek Jong-so went pale at those words. If Baekgi was up to the task, then he would surely change everything within the clan.

“Ancestor, can you give me two or three days?”

He had only watched it once, so how could he perfect it within a day? It was definitely not an easy task.

Baekgi flatly refused.

“12 hours from now.”

“…”

“What are you doing standing there all dazed?”

Baek Jong-so, who was restless, bowed and tried to run to the Yongchun Group practice hall when Baekgi whispered,

“Don’t let me down.”

Baek Jong-so, who heard Baekgi, answered with determination,

“Yes, sir!”

Hu Bong moved closer to Baekgi and tried to say the same thing,

“Don’t let me down.”

“What are you doing?”

“Imitating you.”

“What?”

Since it was done in a low whisper, the imitation didn’t sound right, but Mun Ran-yeong was grinning.

“Is he carrying you or something? ‘Don’t let me down’?”

“Don’t make it a pun.”

While Hu Bong was making fun of the exchange, Baekgi sounded very displeased.

“Your words are letting me down.”

Baekgi lost his calm as veins began to pop on his forehead.

In the vice-chairman office of Yongchun Group, the Golden Gumiho who liked to rest on Chun Yeowun’s shoulder turned pale.

-You are too much.

“Play with Bi Mak-heon.”

-He’s tired now.

During Chun Yeowun’s visit to the North Sea Ice Palace, she decided to stay with Bi Mak-heon, who had a horrible time.

‘Please, not again!’

Bi Mak-heon, too, was shocked at Chun Yeowun’s words. It was no easy task to take care of the fox; despite taking the form of a baby fox, she acted like a monster boss.

-I’ll be quiet, okay?

The Golden Gumiho tried to flatter Chun Yeowun, but he stayed consistent with his decision and refused to change his mind.

-So cold. Even your ancestor wasn’t this cold.

“I have no intention to hear any of this from you.”

-I’ll be doing this, then!

The Golden Gumiho pretended to close her ears. It was so cute that even Yu So-hwa smiled. When she looked at the adorable little fox, she forgot it was one of the strongest beasts.

“Hey! What are you up to? Master told you to get out. Why are you acting so much like a pet?!”

The second secretary, Shakena, yelled at the fox. Despite her harsh words, she too wore a pleasant expression while looking at the fox.

Chun Yeowun had called for her because he had something to discuss with them.

‘Hehe. I’m finally reunited with my master.’

However, the fox didn’t even try to listen to the discussion and wrapped itself around Chun Yeowun’s neck, protesting for her stay.

-I won’t go! I won’t go!

“Fine then, I’ll pull you off.”

Shakena reached out for the fox on Chun Yeowun but it used its tail to strike her hand.

Pak!

“…”

-You think I’ll leave him alone with a naughty girl like you?!

“This fox!”

Shakena, who was joking at first, was now angry and sincerely wanted the fox to leave.

“Animals should act like animals.”

Wooong!

A golden energy released from the fox. Shocked by the sudden energy, Shakena too released her demonic energy, but something suddenly crushed her from above.

Thud!

“Ouch!”

A naked woman sat on her with golden hair and elegance: it was the fox in its human form.

Shakena, who would normally fight back, trembled at the weird energy and the nine tails behind the woman. Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up.

‘Her powers are back to normal.’

It seemed like after eating the Kraken, she recovered her powers.

Only Chun Yeowun would be able to deal with the fully recovered Gumiho.

“Animal? You bitch.”

Hearing the Gumiho’s voice of bloodlust, Shakena gasped for air. She could clearly feel how overwhelming the Gumiho’s energy was, understanding how disadvantaged she would be if they were to fight.

Chun Yeowun then intervened.

“I told you that I won’t repeat myself twice.”

“Tsk.”

The Gumiho pouted at his words. Although other people would react differently, she knew that to Chun Yeowun, whether she was in her human or fox form didn’t matter.

Woong!

She quickly changed back into a baby fox and rested herself on Bi Mak-heon’s head.

“Eek!”

Holding Bi Mak-heon’s hair as if his hair strands were reins, she said,

-Go out now. go go!

She spoke with a shrill voice. Unfortunately for Bi Mak-heon, he would never be able to control her like Chun Yeowun.

Bi Mak-heon accepted that he was just a human horse to the Gumiho and silently took her out of the room. When they finally left, Shakena approached her master.

“Oh my, it’s just the two of us, Master.”

“Don’t push your luck.”

Pak!

As she continued to giggle, Chun Yeowun pushed her way and put his hand into a shadow.

Swoosh!

He then pulled something out: a cylinder with a golden pattern on it. Her puzzled expression then became intense and serious.

“Master, where did you get this from?”

“Do you know what this is?”

Chun Yeowun handed the cylinder to her. Receiving the object, she was shocked at what she saw.

‘Does she recognize where it’s from?’

He had found the item with Hagar, the traitor, which is why he guessed that the language was from the demon clan.

“Master, this emblem is of the Grand Duke Kaliaf, one of the 3 Grand Dukes of our clan.”

“Grand Duke?”

Chun Yeowun was puzzled at the title Grand Duke, as he knew that this title denoted the second-highest rank after the king.

From birth, demons were stronger than humans, so he could fathom how strong someone of that title could be.

“But why does Master have this?”

She wondered.

Not once had she even seen a Grand Duke class demon in person; the hierarchy of the clan made it so that seeing people of higher titles was tough.

“I found it in the traitor’s hands.”

“Hagar?”

Shakena didn’t understand what he was saying. From what she knew, Hagar was a low-level demon.

It was strange that he had an object of a higher demon, even more so of Grand Duke Kaliaf.

“Can I open it?”

“Go ahead.”

She opened it, taking out the scroll from inside that displayed the drawing of the armor set Chun Yeowun was after.

Seeing the drawing, her eyes widened.

“Master!”

“Do you know what that is?”

“This is… Arisha’s armor.”

“Arisha’s armor?”

It was impossible for Chun Yeowun to understand what she was saying, so she broke it down for him.

“This armor here is the blueprint for divine items that only the Demon King of the clan can wear.”

“So this is the Demon King’s treasure?”

The secret armor in the scroll that he obtained from Hagar, the traitor, was the Demon King’s treasure.
