Descent of the Demon God

Lim Kang, a member of the Chun Woo-kyung’s faction, looked at Chun Yeowun with trembling eyes.

Blood was dripping from Chun Yeowun’s hands.

Cruelty.

Horror.

It was like seeing the Devil itself.

A sense of intimidation took over the entire room.

‘So he attacked knowing the results of his actions?’

He never thought that the Chun Yu-jang faction would dare kill all the spies sent by the Murim Association without leaving a single one behind.

‘The entire Murim will have to handle him?’

What a statement.

But why did such arrogant words not sound like utter nonsense?

He felt a shiver run down his spine.

He looked at the Sky Demon Sword placed on the table.

And blinked his eyes.

‘Are you crazy! Lim Kang! That one is fake. Fake…’

He couldn’t understand why his body was telling him that the sword in front of his eyes was the real thing.

He felt himself fall into the abyss of profound confusion.

And he wasn’t the only one swallowed in it.

Grunt!

Hwang Yeon-gyu, a member of Chun Woo-kyung’s faction and an affiliate vice president, grunted.

‘The real Sky Demon Sword is with Executive Director Chun Woo-kyung! Since he released the video, these people must be trying to hide it!’

Hwang Yeon-gyu decided to reveal the truth to everyone.

Looking at the current circumstances, he realised that everyone knew now that he belonged to a different faction.

The shareholders meeting must have been held because the Chun Yu-jang faction saw that Chun Woo-kyung had the Sky Demon Sword and became the new Chun Ma. That’s why they were now trying to hold onto the clans below them.

Hwang Yeon-gyu opened his mouth.

“Shareholders, no! Members of the Sky Demon Order, right now…”

It was then.

Tak!

“Uh-huh!”

Chun Yeowun suddenly approached him and grabbed him by the neck.

‘A-are you going to shut my mouth?’

Hwang Yeon-gyu looked at the other two.

Telling them to reveal the truth on his behalf.

However, unexpected words came out of Chun Yeowun’s mouth.

“Are you trying to say that the one called Chun Woo-kyung possessed the true Sky Demon Sword and became the new Chun Ma?”

‘!?’

The eyes of the three spies grew wide.

They thought they would shut their mouths to prevent the truth from spreading.

However, this fake one had just boldly revealed it.

‘W-what the hell is this fake one trying to do?’

Hwang Yeon-gyu stared at Chun Yeowun.

In a cold voice, Chun Yeowun continued.

“Explaining it will take a lot of time.”

“What?”

“You foolish one who distorts the truth. Pull out your own eyes.”

“Kuak… wh-what… nonse…”

Swoosh!

At that moment, people couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing.

Hwang Yeon-gyu’s hands were moving and reaching for his face!

“W-what is this!”

He tried to stop his hands, but they didn’t respond.

His hands kept reaching closer and closer.

Never in his entire life had he felt this afraid of his own hands.

“NO! NOOOOO!”

Puck!

“Kuauaak!”

Pull!

He kept screaming as his hands dug into his eyes’ sockets and pulled them out.

“KUUAAAAk!!!”

When his eyes were completely out, his face became stained in blood.

‘… Sky Demon energy!’

General manager Hang Yu-rin, Sound Clan leader, turned her head away.

As a warrior, she had seen lots of blood, but she couldn’t get herself to look at the gruesomeness occurring in front of her.

Sky Demon energy.

The original source of demonic energy.

If one didn’t learn how to control his demonic energy, then they could never be able to refuse the Sky Demon energy’s command.

“Kuaak! Kwuak! My eyes! My eyesss!”

Hwang Yeon-gyu, who was blinded for life, kept screaming.

The shareholders raised their heads to look fearfully at Chun Yeowun.

‘No way…’

‘Hwang Yeon-gyu dug out his own eyes.’

They were afraid of the power of Sky Demon energy.

It was a power comparable to God.

Even though they hadn’t done anything wrong, their hearts trembled.

In a whisper, Chun Yeowun spoke to Hwang Yeon-gyu.

“Are you able to see the truth unmistakingly now?”

Creepy!

Even though he couldn’t see, the moment he heard those words, he felt terrified.

“Kuuak! N-no! Please! Please forgive me!”

He begged while rubbing his hands.

Pak!

“Kuak!”

Chun Yeowun threw Hwang Yeon-gyu away.

And then looked at Lim Kang and the other standing man.

When they saw Hwang Yeon-gyu, a member of their faction, dig his own eyes out, the two of them went still.

‘W-what should I do?’

They had never imagined such a thing was going to happen.

As a result, the plan to cause chaos within the Chun Yu-jang faction failed.

There were only two things they could do.

Believe that Chun Woo-kyung was the real holder of the Sky Demon Sword and meet their death here, or recognize that this man was Chun Ma.

“Do you also believe in the fake Chun Ma?”

Chun Yeowun asked the two.

Lim Kang struggled to open his mouth as he was in mental agony, but then with a determined look, he shouted.

“T-there is evidence that you are not the real Chun Ma.”

“Evidence?”

Chun Yeowun’s eyebrows rose at the word ‘evidence’.

The other shareholders were puzzled too.

“Director Chun Woo-kyung has inherited the will of Chun Ma! Do-don’t claim to be a Lord by pointing that fake sword at me.”

“How dare you!”

At his words, Chun Yu-jang yelled.

He was kneeling and bowing to Chun Yeowun, but when he heard that the sword was fake, he couldn’t help but feel enraged.

“Lords, clan leaders and shareholders, they all know! The Sky Demon Sword is a sacred object of the Cult, but the Demon God had another sword, the White Dragon Blade!”

So that was why he didn’t lose his faith till the end.

Even if the two swords were fake, Chun Woo-kyung knew how to use history to his advantage.

“He had found the remains of Demon God that had disappeared a thousand years ago. You all know what I am talking about, right? Chun Woo-kyung has the two swords! He is Chun Ma! The Demon God wants him to unite the Cult and bring…”

“Hahahaha”

Before he could even finish, Hang Yu-rin burst into laughter.

It wasn’t just her. The other senior executives reacted the same too.

Frustrated, the other spy, Bu Won, shouted.

“H-how dare you ridicule the will of the Demon God?”

“Demon God’s will? Hahah.”

Hang Yu-rin laughed as she approached Bu Won.

She stopped smiling and kicked the man in his leg to forcibly make him kneel.

Puak! Thud!

“Kuak!”

Grab!

She grabbed him by the hair.

“Lord Chun Ma. Please allow me to behead the sinner who dares to ignorantly use your title!”

Bu Won’s expression crumbled at her words.

“What are you talking about? Why is the title…”

It was then.

Chun Yeowun reached out to the ceiling.

Tututung!

With the sound of crashing, the ceiling got pierced, and something came into his grasp.

A pure white sword.

Srrng!

When Chun Yeowun pulled it out of its sheath, the pure white sword appeared.

They felt strange energy emanating from the White Dragon Blade, the blade that cut down the Imoogi horns.

‘White Dragon Blade?’

‘The White Dragon Blade?’

The shareholders couldn’t hide their surprise.

One of the two major weapons of Demon God, the White Dragon Blade, appeared in front of their eyes.

Bu Won looked bewildered at it.

“W-what the hell?”

He was confused when he saw the White Dragon Blade.

“How funny! Did you say he inherited my will?”

Woong!

At Chun Yeowun’s words, the shareholders were confused.

The man was calling himself the Demon God.

Shaking his head, Chun Yeowun reached out towards the Sky Demon Sword put on the table.

Wheeing!

It flew and landed in front of Bu Won.

Chun Yeowun ordered.

“Take the sword.”

“Take the sword? What are you… ah!”

At that moment, against his own will, Bu Won’s hand reached out to the sword.

Tak!

His hand gripped the sword.

Only then did he understand why Hwang Yeon-gyu had dug out his own eyes.

‘I am following his order…’

It was then.

Goo!

Wheei!

The veins on the back of Bu Won’s hands began to bulge.

The blue veins turned black, and a strange thing began to happen.

‘W-what is this!’

Bu Won was bewildered by the energy digging into his hand and tried to counter it.

However, no matter what he did, the energy entering his body kept accelerating.

Creepy!

‘W-what is this energy!’

His eyes widened.

The more he resisted, the more he could feel it.

Strength.

Endless darkness.

And a vicious demon.

‘Demon energy? No. This is closer to the abyss than th…’

Wooong!

At that moment, the Imoogi opened its mouth and tried to swallow him.

“Kuak!”

He screamed.

The people watching him were puzzled.

‘What?’

‘What is with him?’

They couldn’t understand why Bu Won’s body was stained in black blood.

Suddenly, he stopped screaming and muttered.

“Imoogi… black imoogi…”

Drip!

Blood vessels burst all over Bu Won’s body.

And when Hang Yu-rin released his hair, the man collapsed on the floor.

Chun Yeowun looked at the only spy still standing on his feet, Lim Kang.

“You think the Sky Demon Sword is something anyone can have?”

“W-what do you…”

“No one can hold the Sky Demon Sword unless he had inherited the Sky Demon energy.”

‘!?’

At the word ‘Sky Demon energy’, Lim Kang’s eyes trembled.

There was a legend in the Sky Demon Order history.

The legend of the Sky Demon energy, which disappeared with the 2nd Chun Ma.

[No possessor of the demonic energy can disobey the sky demon energy.]

Something which was often dismissed as a mere legend.

Because after the disappearance of Chun Yeowun, the 24th Lord of the Cult, no one inherited the Sky Demon energy.

“N-no way. The Sky Demon energy… The 2nd Chun Ma disappeared with it…”

“Kneel!”

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Lin Kang’s knees touched the ground.

Against his will.

With trembling eyes, he mumbled.

“Sk-Sky demon energy…”

It was definitely that one.

He couldn’t deny it.

‘This… this person…’

Chun Yeowun approached the man and asked.

“Who am I?”

At that moment, Lim Kang banged his head on the floor and shouted.

Thud!

“Lim Kang, an insignificant member of the Great Sky Demon Order, greets the 24th Lord known as the 2nd generation Chun Ma, the Demon God!”

Inside a hidden office.

A man with curly hair and glasses hurried into the room and reported to someone.

“Lord Chun Ma! See this!”

The person called Chun Ma wasn’t Chun Yeowun.

It was Chun Woo-kyung, a man in his 50s wearing a grey suit.

The curly-haired man put the tablet PC on the desk.

A few taps and the screen played.

The site was designed to upload videos, like Youtube.

“Has it been uploaded?”

The site was opened as a server secured with a special code.

It was used by Chun Woo-kyung members to upload videos.

Unlike the other factions, they weren’t a company but an organization. The site was their way of reporting and communicating.

There was a newly uploaded video on the site, and the views kept on increasing.

“L-look!”

The curly-haired man played the video.

It was a video taken by a CCTV camera.

At first, Chun Woo-kyung didn’t look interested, but as it played out, his face turned stiff.

‘…’

In the second half of the video, Lim Kang, a spy placed by him in the Yongchun group, was banging his head and screaming.

— Lim Kang, an insignificant member of the Great Sky Demon Order, greets the 24th Lord known as the 2nd generation Chun Ma, the Demon God!

When Lim Kang did that, the other shareholders bowed their heads too.

Chun Woo-kyung’s face turned red. He didn’t finish the video to the end and shouted.

“What are you all doing? Delete it right now! Hurry!”

The video had to be deleted before it got more views.

But then the video changed.

Click!

It was now recorded using a phone.

In that video, Chun yeowun was staring straight ahead.

— You are not Chun Ma. Chun Woo-kyun.

“T-this…”

A video made for him.

— You inherited my will? You are one funny man. You will come to regret your foolishness for deceiving the Cult members with trash lies. The sin for impersonating the role of Chun Ma is nothing but death!

‘!!!’

Click!

With that, the video ended.

Chun Woo-kyung couldn’t take his eyes off the black screen.
