The Return of the Crazy Demon-Chapter 210: We Aren’t Invincible.

While watching Sword Demon fight against Elder Byuk, I say,

“… everyone listen and watch. The guest house is on fire, so there is nothing to eat.”

“….”

“As you all know, if you leave here you will be attacked. It isn’t like they are going to lock up and look for a long battle. It looks like they are trying to hold out for three days and nights.”

Ghost Demon tilts his head.

“Why do you think so?”

“It is because they brought such troops but are going in for one-on-one battles. Look at that long man. He fights pretty well. But if he dies or runs away, someone else will crawl out for another one-on-one. The eldest will have to fight for three days and nights. Even though we also got stuck in this battle.”

“Hmm.”

“Three days and nights. When we are tired, the situation can turn for the worse if another young lord’s forces join in or if Teacher Baek Wei suddenly pops up changing everything. Something mad can happen.”

Pervert Demon agrees.

“Right. Of course, anything can happen. Master will continue to accept the situations as they come. I feel sad, but master does have this side to him.”

I agree when he mentions that there was this old, mature side to Sword Demon. It’s because Sword Demon had a nature that respects both allies and enemies.

I ask third young lord,

“Someone said Sword Demon is invincible… what does that mean?”

To which he answers.

“Those are the words of the Cult Leader. It was said that the elder was so great that he could literally be called invincible. It was the plan of Cult Leader to lead the Left and Right guardians to kill the Three Disasters.”

“Then the reason behind being called as such?”

To which Pervert Demon says,

“It is because of the skills of the Blade Sword. Although he’s at this stage, it seems like everyone is still wary of his strength.”

I answer frowning,

“So, you are saying invulnerability using the Blade Sword technique is possible?”

Pervert Demon answers,

“The stronger the bond with the Demon Sword, the closer one gets to achieving it. One should just be wary of the aftermath.”

“The aftermath being?”

“I am worried about the moment one achieves the perfect sword technique. It isn’t just about being stronger, one won’t be able to distinguish themselves from the sword. If that happens they might not be human.”

I let out a sigh.

“Then it seems like hell. Then, your master must be living in hell.”

Pervert Demon silently looks at Sword Demon who is fighting.

“Right.”

Ghost Demon asks me,

“Sect Leader what do we do?”

At the Ghost Demon’s question, everyone looks at me. Sword Demon is fighting elder Byuk, but no one seems to be worrying about Sword Demon. In the first place if he were at risk of losing to the old man, he wouldn’t have been in the position of Left Guardian for the Cult.

I say to the four around me,

“This fight is a shit show. Our lives are a mess too. So, this time, I am going to move one step ahead. If we are polite like the eldest hyung there, we will surely die of starvation in here or just wither to death. One-on-one fights will take weeks. I am already trapped in a nightmare with the Demonic Cult. Their goal is to hold out for 4 to 3 days. At that time, if one of the kings who is skilled appears, or Master baek Wei comes, we will be defeated strategically. Do you understand?”

Sam Bok answers while the other three nod.

“We get it.”

I speak with a serious expression.

“My thoughts are this. We need to make the Demonic Cult withdraw from here so that we can eat in peace.”

Sam Bok nods.

“Eating does seem hard.”

I speak in a cold manner.

“No matter how I look at it, Sword Demon senior is having a one-on-one fight to respect the people of the Cult. This is the Cult abusing the good nature of his. And we should hit them back.”

I came to the conclusion that Sword Demon in the previous life has suffered a lot. During this thought, there is a loud noise, and everyone turns their heads to see elder Byuk fly towards the red tent.

The tent manages to cover the guy and soon the man says,

“I lost.”

“… you lose, you should die. You want to hide behind the tent?”

“Since I lost, I will give up the fight for the Left Guardian’s position. There are still many things to do in the Cult, so how can a traitor tell me to die? There is no one other than Cult Leader who can give me such an order. You are no longer the Left Guardian, so how can you give me an order?”

A skinny old man lands close to Sword Demon.

“You cheeky Sword Demon, it has been a while. There were rumors of you training with a wooden sword, so with what right are you wielding the Light Sword?”

Sword Demon answers,

“Elder Yong, you are flattering the Cult Leader so much that even after growing old, the habit didn’t die.”

Pervert Demon asks me,

“Now?”

“The atmosphere.”

He looks around and then at me.

“Just use anything which explodes. Instead, let us move together. I head in first. You asked me last time. How many can I take down with my ice arts? 78. I am going to use it and make sure they fall. Seeing all of them, I need to kill them all.”

I grab him by the shoulder.

“There are many warriors in the Cult. Run, jump high, and kill many.”

“Then?”

“Walk. While taking a walk, watch the tents.”

I look at Pervert Demon.

“I confirm your thoughts.”

“Good.”

I sit cross-legged with my back to the guesthouse and speak to the other three.

“Cover me.”

The three of them stand around me in an awkward stance. Pervert Demon heads towards the southeastern direction opposite to the area Sword Demon was currently fighting.

Sword Demon and elder Yong facing….

Pervert Demon looks around and heads for the tent.

“Hey now, clear the tent now…”

“…”

At this time, the troops with the large barriers erected outside the tent speak while peaking their heads out,

“What is it?”

“….”

I check the large barriers on the other side of the tent sitting cross-legged. When I see the shield that might be used in armies, I am unsure of how to react. It wasn’t just the front row with the barriers, there were densely packed barriers on the sides.

It was a barrier unit that could block the ice arts of Pervert Demon as well as my Light Sky of Sun and Moon reducing the overall damage.

Pervert Demon nods and then says,

“I confirm.”

I was preparing to attack but then stopped and looked at Pervert Demon returning. Pervert Demon smiles with a puzzled expression.

“There are many barriers. Haha. The shields of Kangho fall short. What is the point of such barriers in such a fight?”

A relatively young voice answers,

“This is a special preparation because the martial arts of Low-Down Sect Leader and the Mong family are amazing. I don’t know if you are open to the idea, but an all-out war is welcomed.”

Pervert Demon approaches me with a smile, but as soon as he arrives in front of the guest house, his smile vanishes.

“Did the Demonic Cult do their research? First of all, it seems that my ice arts will be effectively blocked.”

Due to the nature of his ice arts, there is a high chance that Pervert Demon’s skills won’t work now. Everyone is looking at me as I begin to smile.

“….”

Pervert Demon glares at me.

“Do not laugh. It is scary.”

I giggle and then get out of my seating position and stand up.

“This is the Demonic Cult. You already knew where the power of theirs came from.”

To be honest, I felt like I was going insane. In the previous life, I fell off a cliff while being chased by the Demonic Cult, but it feels like I am being bullied this time too. It was absurd that even if I killed all of them, there would be no serious damage to the Cult Leader. The fact that the Cult Leader is still stronger than us is a burden on us. I also hate the subordinates of Master Baek Wei who are probably watching all of this. I thought he would appear, but because he didn’t appear, it pissed me off even more.

Above all, thinking that Sword Demon died of exhaustion after fighting for a long time in the previous life made me feel sick.

Sword Demon is not invincible. He is a person.

Since he is a man and not a demon, he would have died from exhaustion and a lack of food and water. Without realizing that I am being taken over by madness, I cross over the border between the previous life and the current life.

In front of my eyes, Sword Demon is wielding his sword, but I feel like I am witnessing the turn of events from Sword Demon’s previous life. Sam Bok says,

“Sect Leader is a bit strange?”

Ghost Demon and Pervert Demon look at me.

“Third one.”

“Yah, Low-Down Sect Leader.”

I answer the two people with sincerity.

“What?”

Pervert Demon says,

“Your eyes are red.”

“It is because I didn’t sleep.”

“A bit too red for that.”

My ears begin to drown out their voices and I look down with a frown as I feel qi flowing throughout my body.

“Ah… is this my body raging?”

I pull the wooden sword out and head for the tent of the Demonic Cult. As soon as I feel someone grab me from behind, I rush forward. I must have been deaf. When I open my eyes, I am already high in the sky.

Looking down I see the barriers all spread out like the black sea. Without doing anything I land on the barrier and run across it. I can hear sounds. As I swing the sword, I fall into the black sea of barriers and the people begin to fade away.

I fell into this black sea, so how can I not hear the sound?

Feeling as if I plunged into the deep sea, when I look around there are a lot of dark fishes around me with eyes wide open. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺

The whispers of my thoughts seemed to be telling me that they weren’t black fish, but men in black.

There, I swing my sword infused with purple qi. In one hit, the black fish gets cut. Did I actually go insane?

Actually, I am more afraid of going insane than just being crazy.

What if I don’t recognize the people around me? What if I don’t recognize my subordinates? What would happen if I can’t regain my calm? Fortunately, my consciousness was fine enough to kill just the black figures.

The only problem is that I still can’t hear much.

I swing the sword as loudly as I can in this realm of silence. Since the flame was still raging inside of me, Sword Qi erupts out of me as if the dissonance of my internal state was seeping out. The barriers manage to get cracked in the chaos and it isn’t until the barrier splits that I see a human body get cut.

‘Wow, this place is silent as hell.’

I grab the sword and push in from the left with my hand infused with ice qi and swing the wooden sword to sever the neck of the man. As I swing hard, before I know it, I am holding swords with both hands.

‘Whose sword is this?’

In any case, I swing the dead man’s sword with my left hand, and the wooden sword, which Elder Heo gifted me, with my right. Unintentionally, many fishes freeze as I swing my left hand and every time I swing my right, the fishes burn.

‘Absurd.’

The people of Kangho are absurd ones. The more I cut down the barriers, the more they appear and surround me. I look up and see a black longsword flying around.

‘Heart Demon Air Sword?’

I swing the twin swords and look at the man who burst in with ice qi. That was the young Bright Light person that Pervert Demon and I hated.

I don’t bother thinking too hard. So, as I swing the twin swords, Ghost Demon passes by cutting them all down. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he was calling me the third. Even while the guy gets swept away and disappears, I continue to swing the twin swords.

It was deafening but I remembered that I had plucked the falling petals under the plum tree one day, so I diligently imbued the sword with a bright light. How can it be this effective?

Now the black fish were turning into blind fish.

As I begin to calm down, I move with a slash and stab attack pattern with the two swords. Occasionally, whenever a shield appears, my sword splits through them as if the shields are being bent around them. Having been chased by both the Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult all my life, these people seemed good.

Feeling that great danger was coming, I leap ahead, step on the barrier, and jump into the air. Then dozens of arrows fly towards me, and I respond with Sword Wind and crouch.

“Everybody die!”

After covering my knees with both hands, I move in the air while holding the swords releasing hot energy. I was already dizzy, so it doesn’t matter if I feel dizzier. When I land back down on the ground, I see more shields scattered around.

As I stand up holding the twin swords, a man with a long sword stands in front of me and it is Sword Demon.

Pervert Demon is to the left and Ghost Demon is to the right.

It is impossible to kill an ally, so I turn around but see the third young lord and Sam Bok. As I try to break through, the allies from the north, south, east, and west grab me.

With all their attempts at restraining me, I end up sitting down.

“Ahh, let me go.’

Both Pervert Demon and Ghost Demon reach out and push my hand down. I still can’t hear anything, so speaking to them is hard. Sword Demon suddenly turns around, gets down on one knee and stretches out both his hands to my face.

Sword Demon holds my face and says,

“Cultivate.”

And taking a deep breath, I close my eyes.
