I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 400. Side Story 2: Battle of the Heavenly Demons (9)

“Matriarch!”

“Prosecutor!”

While Baek Woo-jin was clearing away the remaining dirt from Jeok Yeon-hwa’s veins, Moon Ju-young and Moo Young-gaek jumped over the collapsed building and ran over.

They both looked like they were soaked in blood, as if they had gone through a tough fight, and their steps were weak.

“You saved it!”

“Are you okay, Sister Jeok?”

Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek frowned as they looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa’s pale face.

“The dangerous situation has been passed.”

I nodded. The internal injuries and torn blood vessels were closed, and the blood poison was removed, so the critical stage has passed.

Still, to eliminate the aftereffects, the patient must be sent to a proper treatment facility as soon as possible.

“You take Jeok Yeon-hwa and go to the healing facility.”

Because all facilities within the association were destroyed, it was impossible to provide treatment here.

“What about the matriarch?”

“There is still work to be done.”

As he said that, he looked at the building where the Heavenly Demon was buried.

“All right.”

“There’s a place I saw. Follow me.”

Mu Young-gaek took the lead, and Moon Ju-young followed behind, carrying Jeok Yeon-hwa on his back.

Baek Woo-jin looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa moving away and then turned his head.

Wow!

Before I could even take a single breath, the remains of the collapsed building and the floor exploded, causing an enormous surge of magical energy.

“Baek Woo-jin!”

The Heavenly Demon aims with two burning red eyes. It was a gaze full of murderous intent, anger, and malice.

“Cheonma.”

I walked in front of the Heavenly Demon. Standing face to face with him, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Your revenge is over.”

Faith pressed down on his distorted pupils with his young eyes.

“There are three people who attacked you 30 years ago. The guild leader of Lord Cheonmu died by your hands, and the head of the Association of Talents died before that. “Now there is no one for you to point your sword at.”

“Shut up!”

The Heavenly Demon bared his teeth like a hungry wolf. Red blood flowed down his white teeth.

“Our revenge is not over yet! “I will never stop until I erase all the talented people on this land!”

“It’s not revenge, it’s anger. And now the only one left is you.”

[Koooooo!]

No sooner had Baek Woo-jin finished speaking than a roar that echoed through the sky descended.

Kwaaaaang!

Ignis and snow ice fell to the east and west, while Leo rose in the north and Chrome rose in the south.

“Medical sword belt! Under the orders of the head of the family, we defeated the Wimadae!”

Immediately behind them, the medical sword team, including Hong Nam-gi, ran up and aimed their swords at Cheonma.

The sight of four top-class summons and a medical sword corps with an iron will surrounding the Cheonma was a spectacular sight.

“Look. Five Mazondo commanders and four monster escorts also fell. “The flame of revenge you have kindled is about to go out.”

“Ugh….”

The Heavenly Demon shook his clenched fist. He clenched so hard that blood dripped from his fist.

“why! Why are you interrupting me! “It has nothing to do with you!”

“It matters. The first is because you touched my woman. The second is…”

Baek Woo-jin continued, tearing away Cheonma’s thoughts.

“Because your realm came from me.”

“what?”

“Wasn’t it two years ago when you said that the revelation of the God of War came to you?”

“Hmm…”

The Heavenly Demon did not open his mouth, but he had already finished answering with his raised eyes.

“As expected.”

I took a deep sigh.

“What does that mean!”

“I am the Martial God who gave you revelation.”

“What bullshit!”

The Heavenly Demon’s eyes widened as if they were about to attack him at any moment.

“When Beelzebub descended, in order to erase his energy, I harmonized the divine power with my group and covered the entire world. The martial spirit you felt was the combined energy of my martial arts and divine power.”

Now I could understand why the spirit used by the Heavenly Demon felt similar to my own.

He ascended to the realm of transcendence by accepting the energy of his group and the Holy Spirit that he unleashed when fighting Beelzebub.

In other words, he was no different from the Heavenly Demon’s teacher.

‘But…’

Looking at the Heavenly Demon’s anger-filled personality and deep demonic energy, it seemed as if Beelzebub’s malice and demonic energy had flowed into him.

“Nonsense! “It is absolutely impossible!”

“You must have felt it too, right? “The way you operate your thoughts is the same as mine.”

The Heavenly Demon’s Martial Spirit and his own Heart Sword were abilities that used upper-tier warfare, and the flow was also similar. The only difference is between attack and defense.

“Oh no. That’s not possible…”

“Even if I didn’t have that intention, it’s true that it influenced you. “I will have to settle this matter.”

Baek Woo-jin stretched out his right hand. The Changcheon Sword that burned Jima’s body shot out with a bright light.

“Off!”

The Heavenly Demon gritted his teeth and spread his hands. The thoughts and demonic energy that had been around him harmonized as if they were one from the beginning, creating a terrifying wave.

“It doesn’t matter what happens. “I will defeat you and enforce my will and our will!”

The flames of magical energy burn on the shoulders of the Heavenly Demon. The energy was so intense and intense that the surroundings were distorted and melted.

“Come at me.”

Baek Woo-jin aimed his brilliant golden sword at the Heavenly Demon.

“Kaaaa!”

The Heavenly Demon kicked the ground with a roar that pierced the sky. The guy turned into a firestorm and was crushed before my eyes.

Kwaaaaang!

The divine demon slashed at the oncoming Heavenly Demon’s fist.

Cheeeeee!

Even the strong energy on the blade of the Changcheon Sword could not extinguish the flames of the young demon energy in the Heavenly Demon’s fist.

Grumble!

Rather, a bigger flame erupted as if oil had been poured. It was like seeing an eternal flame that would not be extinguished even if the world was destroyed.

Okay! Whoops!

Baek Woo-jin faced the Heavenly Demon’s power by drawing a sword-shaped sword. The energy contained in his fist could not be stopped even by the most powerful firepower.

The son-in-law was filled with blazing heat from the red, extinguished flames that shot out from his sword and fist.

“Hmph!”

Baek Woo-jin did not retreat at all from the center of the inferno where even Kang Ki was melting.

Quang! Quagwagwagwang!

I took a deep breath as I blocked the power of the Heavenly Demon, splitting the earth and splitting the sky, with a single sword.

‘It’s getting stronger.’

The energy surrounding the Heavenly Demon’s body is endlessly amplified. If this continues, everything in sight will melt.

“We don’t stop! I’m killing you! “I will burn the world!”

His voice and speaking style resembled that of Beelzebub.

“That’s impossible.”

Baek Woo-jin struck down the Changcheon Sword. With a simple swing, not a sword blade, the flames of magical energy that were melting the surroundings subsided.

“Kaaaa!”

As the Heavenly Demon screamed evil, the swirling demon energy and thoughts gathered around him, creating a huge sphere.

[Kyaaaa!]

“Ouch!”

“Hehehe!”

The spirits were reverse-summoned by the unimaginable energy contained in the sphere, and the swordsmen and the powerful fell to their knees, clutching their necks.

‘Hmm…’

Emotions come from the magic sphere. Blood pain and injustice. These were the feelings of betrayal that Cheonma felt 30 years ago.

‘I guess I should accept it.’

Although Cheonma is a slayer, his story is so pitiful that anyone can nod their heads.

Even if he couldn’t save him, he decided to accept the power and emotions that came from him and Beelzebub.

“come.”

The spirit of a young warrior in Baek Woo-jin’s eyes pierced the heart of the Heavenly Demon.

“Off! I won’t lose! We won’t lose! “I will get my revenge!”

The enormous magical energy gathered in the Heavenly Demon’s grasp condensed into the size of a ping-pong ball and floated above his fingers.

Cold sweat ran down my forehead.

The demon energy became smaller, but its majestic energy was amplified. It was almost out of breath.

Gooooo!

Baek Woo-jin recovered the thought that wrapped around the blade of the Changcheon Sword. We gathered all the thoughts we have accumulated so far in one place.

Wooooow!

Unlike the Heavenly Demon, which mixed demonic energy and spirit, it only gathered spirit and struck with the sound of the soul.

What stood at the end of the echo was the sword of all creation that tore the soul of the Demon King.

“Demon God’s Jewel!”

The Heavenly Demon shot out the sphere of magic energy that was on his finger. The speed was so fast that it rivaled that of the Heart Sword, and the moment I came to my senses, it was already in front of me.

‘yet.’

Baek Woo-jin was not embarrassed even when he saw the demon’s jewel tearing up even space. I sharpened the sword of my soul until the last moment.

Gooooo!

The moment when the demon god’s jewel did not reach his heart by a single piece of paper.

He shot out the forged blade.

All things considered.

The greatest sword of all time and modern times, raised by striking a sword, pierced the demon’s jewel and split the soul of the heavenly demon.

“Keueuuuuu!”

The Heavenly Demon knelt down as he saw the Demon God’s jewel breaking like a glass bead. I clutched my left chest, where my heart was, and my chin trembled.

“Is that the heart sword….”

Baek Woo-jin nodded.

“It is the name of all things.”

“All things are the name of the almighty sword.”

The Heavenly Demon could not bear it and collapsed. He looked up into space with blank eyes.

“Phew, I think I’m finally coming to my senses.”

He coughed up blood and laughed.

“It was empty. “Even if I gained strength, took revenge, or killed my enemy’s family, I could not fill the hole in my heart.”

The Heavenly Demon’s eyes turned towards him. The eyes are completely different from before and are transparent.

At the same time, a scene comes to mind.

A huge mountain that looks as if it was cut out of drawing paper with scissors. You can see the village built below. In that village, the people of Heavenly Demon and Destruction Gate were smiling warmly.

‘Is it a memory?…’

As Cheonma died, his thoughts seemed to scatter, showing his happy memories.

“Even though the feelings of futility and denial enveloped my mind, I could not escape them. I really haven’t accomplished anything. “From the beginning to the end, I am just a failure.”

Looking at his subdued voice and memories, we could see that Beelzebub’s instrument had influenced him more than he thought.

He was clearly a murderer. However, because I knew all the circumstances, I did not want to let him go with many regrets.

“Cheonma.”

The Heavenly Demon’s dying eyes turned to Baek Woo-jin.

“What do you think of my power?”

“It was strong. “It was sharp and mysterious, like seeing a sword rising from the ground and reaching into the sky.”

Perhaps because he was on the verge of death, Cheonma gave an honest answer.

“You were defeated by someone like that.”

Baek Woo-jin’s voice rang through the earth like a declaration.

“I used Mansang twice. Among them, you are the first to deal with humans. “You were that strong too.”

“Ah…”

A feeling of sorrow welled up in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes, which were filled with emptiness.

“I admit it in the name of God of War. you were strong That’s why it’s disappointing.”

I didn’t say anything after that. The Heavenly Demon is a murderer. Any more than that could be an insult to the Heavenly Demon’s dead.

“Huh…”

The Heavenly Demon’s mouth twisted.

“Is this the greatest recognition of all time? Thanks to you, I have no more regrets.”

The last light in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes fades.

“….”

“The fire that couldn’t be stopped on its own is finally stopping. thanks. And I was sorry. Nothing can make up for the lost feelings…”

He lowered his head without being able to finish that last sentence. Baek Woo-jin did not leave the spot until Cheonma’s body turned into ashes.

**

“Uhm….”

Jeok Yeon-hwa opened her eyes. I knew I was in a hospital from the white ceiling visible through my blurry vision and the smell of IV dripping my nose.

“Yeonhwa!”

“softening!”

I turned my head to the right when I heard a familiar voice. My father and brother were holding onto the bed with tears in their eyes.

“dad. Oppa…”

“Oh my! Yeonhwa!”

“father! Not yet! “He’s a patient!”

Her father ran to hug her, but her brother stopped him by holding on to his shoulder.

“Uhm, why am I here…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa closed her eyes again, clutching her pounding head.

“Yeonhwa! Yeonhwayaaa!”

Ignoring my father’s voice calling out my name as if I was suffering from a fatal illness, I remembered the time before I passed out.

‘ah!’

I remembered it right away. Baek Woo-jin, who was kidnapped by Cheonma and Jima and ran to save himself.

‘You saved me in the end.’

He was prepared to die because he could not trap Baek Woo-jin, but he was caught by Jima again and fainted.

As always, he seemed to have solved every situation and saved himself.

‘It was cool.’

Even now, I am amazed at the sight of him overpowering the powerful Heavenly Demon with force.

‘But did you hear that?’

Last words before passing out. The words I said I liked were interrupted by Zima. I wasn’t sure whether Baek Woo-jin heard it or not.

‘I wish I hadn’t heard it…’

I confessed in a hurry because I thought I might die, but now that I think about it, I think it would be better if I didn’t hear it. I wanted to confess properly.

“Ugh! Yeonhwa!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa opened her eyes to the sound of Jeok Wi-jin crying.

“Yeonhwa. If you feel any pain, tell me. “I’ll go to the doctor and therapist right away…”

“It’s okay. “Thank you for your concern.”

I smiled softly at my father, who was showing his worry about himself through the wrinkles on his face.

“Hehehe! thank god! “I’m so glad!”

“dad. brother.”

“Why are you doing that? “If it hurts…”

“I remember everything. The way that person ran to save me and the way he threw away his sword in front of the Heavenly Demon because of me. “I can’t hold back or hide it anymore.”

I made eye contact with the two people and pursed my lips.

“As soon as I was discharged from the hospital, I went to see that person and confessed… Huh? What’s wrong?”

Red Yeonhwa narrowed her eyes. Jeok Wi-jin and Jeok Gyeong-hoon were looking behind themselves with their mouths wide open.

“Ah…”

I trembled and turned my head as I felt eyes on my back. Baek Woo-jin’s face appeared between the partition-like space in front of the door.

“Why are you all here!”

“Because I saved you.”

Baek Woo-jin smiled and approached. Even though he was wearing ordinary everyday clothes, he looked as cool as if he were wearing a formal attire.

“Uh…”

He lowered his head and cupped his cheek. A burning heat rises. I wanted to look in the mirror right away, but I couldn’t see it.

“You look okay.”

“Hi!”

Baek Woo-jin lowered his head and made eye contact. I couldn’t bear to look into those eyes, so I lowered my head.

“Red softening.”

“Hmm…”

I slowly raised my head at the low voice. His serious eyes turned towards him.

“It’s because of me that you were captured by them. I am so sorry.”

“Eh? “Oh no!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa waved her hands wildly. I thought about that, but if it wasn’t for Baek Woo-jin, there was a possibility that everyone would have died in the sword fight.

“If it wasn’t for you, me and my dad would have died in Geomgak! “On the contrary, I should be grateful!”

“okay?”

“of course!”

“Then there is no debt.”

Baek Woo-jin grinned.

“yes? What now…”

“I thought I owed you something, but now you say it’s me. “You don’t have to worry about it.”

“Ugh! “You are a real person!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa pouted her lips. It was a good atmosphere, but it’s like this again. When you talk to this person, things don’t go as planned.

“But is that true?”

“What do you mean?”

“You said you loved me.”

“Hook!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa stuck her head under the blanket like a squirrel.

‘Why are you saying that here?’

Even if I had heard that, I never thought I would ask it out loud. A loud scream erupted from inside.

‘Now wait a minute.’

Come to think of it, there was also a red line here. He, who would normally be uproarious, was strangely quiet.

I slowly lifted the blanket and saw my father and brother.

“Eh?”

Dad frowned but didn’t move. It was an unexpected development.

“Ah… wow!”

When I was about to call the enemy guard, the blanket was suddenly pulled away. Baek Woo-jin grinned and rolled up the blanket and took it away.

“Is that true?”

“Boo.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa fell down as if crawling. When I asked him outright, I was so embarrassed that my mind went blank. I can’t think of anything.

“It’s true.”

“Big!”

So I answered honestly. I heard a groan from my dad.

“Then I also have something to say.”

Baek Woo-jin sat down on the bed and lifted his chin to make eye contact.

“Hi!”

I couldn’t make eye contact with him, so I desperately looked elsewhere.

“Just as you felt a new feeling for me, I also realized my feelings when I saw you.”

“to?”

“Date with me.”

“Uh…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa dropped the hand that was trying to cover her eyes.

“What? What did you just say! “What did you say!”

“Let’s date.”

Unlike himself, whose heart was pounding as if it was about to explode, Baek Woo-jin repeated the words of dating very naturally. That confident appearance was both cool and envious.

“ah! for a moment!”

I felt a little grumpy at Baek Woo-jin, who was looking at me with an expression that seemed like he would accept it of course.

‘That’s what I wanted to say!’

This is something I have held back for years. Even if it was Baek Woo-jin, I didn’t want to hand it over.

“no, I do not want!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa shook her head.

“uh?”

“Eh?”

“oh!”

Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s eyes widened, and Jeok Wi-jin smiled a small smile as if he had seen hope.

“That horse was mine!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa jumped up on the bed. I looked down at Baek Woo-jin and cried out in my heart.

“Please meet me!”

“hmm.”

“also!”

“Ugh!”

Baek Woo-jin laughed quietly and Jeok Gyeong-hoon nodded as if he knew that. Red Wijin buried his face between his arms.

“I heard you’re so disgusting too.”

“uh?”

Baek Woo-jin’s large hand gently approached and pulled him towards him. The moment I was held in his wide yet soft arms, I heard his sweet voice.

“Please take care of me in the future.”

“Me too!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa looked at Jeok Gyeong-hoon and Jeok Wi-jin while being held in Baek Woo-jin’s arms. My brother clapped in celebration, and my father bit his handkerchief.

“Red softening.”

As I laughed at the two people’s reactions, Baek Woo-jin’s low voice irritated my ears.

“But do you remember that I have one wish left?”

“Eh? At this timing?”

His cool smile made my hair stand on end.

“Look forward to it.”
