◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Geumjeonsalgui(Money-Grubbing Demon) charged at an incredibly fast speed. Really fast. As expected of a master. Considering how relaxed he was even with the three of us fighting him, he’s definitely beyond first-rate.
He’s not an opponent to conserve strength against.
I’ll finish him with Demon Fury Slash.
“Tsuaaaaap!”
Watching Geumjeonsalgui shout, I took a step forward. Galbijong and Jaemison moved to my left and right.
Goooo.
My strength was already fully drawn. The internal energy filling my dantian spread throughout my entire body, concentrating in my arms.
Hwaruruuk!
An eerie flame erupted from my sword.
“What!”
Geumjeonsalgui, startled by the sight, tried to put on the brakes, but it was already too late, you bastard!
“Haaaaaaaaaap!”
Demon Fury Slash!
Kkiiiiiiiiaaaaaak!
As I swung the sword powerfully, a ghostly wail echoed, and a violet sword aura exploded, embroidering the air. Geumjeonsalgui desperately tried to defend, but as if having made a split-second decision, he dropped his sword and pulled his body back… This fucking…!
Paaang!
Because of that, my Demon Fury Slash went to waste. It only broke his sword.
“What the! How can you use a sword aura like that!”
Geumjeonsalgui swiftly moved and snatched the sword from the guy behind him. I withdrew Demon Fury Slash and prepared my next move. Damn it, I thought it would work, but it didn’t! I used more than half of my strength, and he just throws away his sword and runs…!
“Galbijong! Jaemison!”
“Uh, uhh…”
“What was that…”
Both of them were looking at me in astonishment.
You bastards, we need to move right now if we even want a chance to win, why are you staring at me in surprise! Demon Fury Slash might be a bit amazing, but we’re in the middle of a fight!
Saaaaa.
Soon, the eerie energy burning from my sword subsided.
“I see! It’s a one-time thing!”
Geumjeonsalgui burst into laughter and moved again. Being relatively skilled, he regained his composure quickly.
This isn’t good!
“That was an interesting trick! Now die!”
As Geumjeonsalgui tried to attack again, Jaemison and Galbijong finally came to their senses and formed a sword formation.
“Screaming Demon, that was!”
“A, an amazing martial art…!”
“Now’s not the time to be surprised! Ack!”
Swaeaek!
Geumjeonsalgui’s sword flew towards me. I barely managed to block it and retreated a step, and Jaemison supported me.
Even so, Geumjeonsalgui was strong. He pressured the three of us by himself and freely launched attacks.
“I’ll kill you like this!”
A thick killing intent emanated from him.
Are we really going to lose? No, we won’t. Serin said she’d back us up, but as a man, I can’t show such a pathetic side!
Hwaaaak!
At that moment, the experience of annihilating the Ildomun sect flashed through my mind. Yes, I can use it. I can control the eerie energy.
Do you think it ends with just once!
Paat!
Once again.
I aimed my sword at him and raised the eerie energy.
“Ha…! You can do it one more time? But your grotesque martial art has already been deciphered!”
Geumjeonsalgui once again threw his sword and quickly back stepped to create distance. He truly is a master. To think of a countermeasure so quickly. Demon Fury Slash won’t work like this.
That’s why.
I recalled the feeling of defeating the Hayagriva. For a moment, I felt the perfect thrust I executed then resonate through my body.
The moment I stepped forward in that same state.
Hwaaaaaak!
My whole body.
Eerie energy erupted from the Sky Thunder Sword. And I shot towards him.
“Huh?”
Like an arrow piercing the sky, my thrust pierced through space itself, flying towards Geumjeonsalgui’s heart. In that instant, I became one with the sword, sliding across the ground without even running, and thrust the sword.
Hwaruruuk!
The eerie energy burned along its trajectory.
Literally a ghost’s thrust.
Ghost Flash.
Pushat!
That was the end.
“Uh, uhuk…!”
The blade imbued with eerie energy pierced Geumjeonsalgui’s chest. I closed the distance of several steps in an instant and stabbed him explosively.
“Keuhuk…!”
Geumjeonsalgui coughed up blood and knelt down.
“Kkeuh!”
An overwhelming sense of exhaustion gripped my entire body. After Demon Fury Slash, I unveiled a new move, Ghost Flash. The realization was so intense that my head spun, and due to the rapid depletion of internal energy, I felt so nauseous that I almost vomited.
Even so, I acted.
“I killed Geumjeonsalgui!!! I, with my own hands!!! So, to honor his soul, we must kill them all!!! Kill all the sinners who defied our Nachalbang!!!”
An intense cry.
“Uaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Was it the atmosphere?
The gang I brought started rampaging. Having lost their master, the Jagwipa and Jangsabang thugs were nothing but a disorganized mob, and they lost their lives pathetically, struck down by enraged blades.
“Amazing, amazing! Screaming Demon! To think you were hiding something like that…!”
“That was truly amazing, Geun-hyeop! Really surprising…! Kkeuk!”
The two of them spoke to me, excited, but…
Right now, I’m at my limit just trying to maintain my composure…
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
When I came to, I saw a familiar ceiling.
“Ah.”
What?
“Geun-hyeop. Are you awake?”
“Uung… what. Are you awake?”
My body was warm.
I saw Serin and Ha-yeong lying on either side of me. And they were only wearing their undergarments. This unbelievable luxury made me wonder if I was dreaming for a moment. Did I perhaps lose to Geumjeonsalgui and am now seeing my life flash before my eyes?
“This obscene man. Getting an erection as soon as you open your eyes? How impudent.”
“Seriously, what kind of guy is he? That’s the first thing he does?”
Kkwaak!
The two women, having said that, lowered their hands and tightly gripped mine!
“Wait a minute…! What is the meaning of this!”
“Geun-hyeop won. Geumjeonsalgui is down, and the Nachalbang members who were there took control of the scene. It should be all sorted out by now.”
“Ah! That’s a relief!”
It seems I lost consciousness in the middle of it all.
In the meantime, the cleanup seems to have been completed.
Avoiding troublesome work, this is a total win.
Actually, since I killed Geumjeonsalgui, I’ve done everything I needed to do.
“What are you so happy about, Geun-hyeop? Do you realize how dangerous that was?”
“W-Well, I know that.”
Serin scolded me.
“Geumjeonsalgui was clearly a higher-level master than you. Even Demon Fury Slash didn’t work. It was dangerous.”
“But still…”
“I’m watching your back. You shouldn’t rely on just that.”
She’s right.
“Of course, I stepped in as soon as Demon Fury Slash failed, but it was faster for you to kill him with a new move.”
“Really?”
“Yes. That was… truly amazing. To close that distance of several ‘jang’ in an instant and deliver such a thrust. It was like watching the Four Needles Sword Technique of the Jeomchangpa.”
Was it that impressive?
My shoulders shrugged.
“Well, wouldn’t you say you gained enlightenment from fighting such a dangerous opponent? Besides, your eerie energy seemed to have become a bit denser.”
“Oh. Definitely. I felt that.”
“That’s not the point. Aren’t you thinking about something more important? I told you it’s best to hide your power because it’s unique, right?”
Ha-yeong’s tone turned cold.
“You revealed your power to everyone. Now everyone will be saying that Screaming Demon used a very strange power.”
Come to think of it, this is a big deal.
“Geun-hyeop. Do you understand what you did wrong now? You could be in danger because of this.”
“I’m really sorry…”
“Well, rest assured, I’m here for you.”
“Serin!”
Just as I turned to bury my face in Serin’s chest.
“Hey!”
Ha-yeong grabbed and pulled me tight!
“Huh!”
“My chest is bigger, you know? Come here!”
“O-Okay…!”
“Where do you think you’re going, Geun-hyeop! If you’ve decided to come here, then come here!”
Serin immediately embraced my head with her chest.
“Really, you still haven’t learnt your lesson…! I’ll commend you for handling the situation well this time and raising the prestige of the Nachalbang! It’s also a joyous occasion that you’ve raised your level! But to still be so fixated on those breasts!”
A sharp rebuke!
“If you keep acting like this, I won’t let you cum!”
“No way!”
“Hmm, then should I make you cum?”
“Wei Ha-yeong, you be quiet!”
Screaming Demon screamed.
The matter was concluded.
Both Jagwipa and Jangsabang were destroyed. There were no more large black path factions in this area. Well, there are some small-time black Path thugs, but they’re like cockroaches, impossible to completely exterminate, so we’ll leave them be.
In any case, our Nachalbang had taken over the underworld of this area.
“A giant black Path faction has been born. Congratulations.”
Dandu said that, what?
“Giant black Path faction?! Nachalbang is a righteous sect! Watch your words!”
“Ah, ah! Sorry!”
Now our Nachalbang will operate as a righteous sect. We can increase our fame and influence that way, right? Just imagining it makes my chest swell with pride.
“Hahaha! Don’t be too hard on Dandu, Screaming Demon. He’s now our honorary member.”
“That’s right.”
Galbijong approached with a bright smile.
“Anyway. That was truly amazing. To kill Geumjeonsalgui like that…! As expected, I admire you!”
“That’s just a fraction of my power.”
“As expected!”
This guy seems to have become completely devoted to me.
“Anyway. Now Nachalbang is on top. And that rumor has spread quickly. A representative from the Lower Merchants’ Association has come to visit.”
“The Lower Merchants’ Association?”
“It seems they came to greet us after hearing that we’re a righteous sect. Well, we’ll need to negotiate things like protection fees and such.”
That’s right.
“And also.”
“What else is there?”
“Many people wishing to join have arrived! They all say they want to become members of Nachalbang!”
“Oh, did Dandu’s promotion work! Hey, Dandu! Good job!”
“Ahem… Please treat me well from now on.”
Dandu coughed awkwardly, blushing.
He’s growing on me.
“Of course! Then shall we go see the applicants! Ah! First, let’s talk to the Merchants’ Association!”
“Hehehe, they’re all waiting. Jaemison is guiding them, so you can go right away.”
Finally, we’ll be doing something constructive besides killing..
“Phew.”
I looked up at the sky as I walked.
It’s so clear.
“Beautiful.”
It felt like the sunlight washed away all the negative feelings that lingered in my heart.
Yes. I am Screaming Demon of the Nachalbang, Kim Geun-hyeop.
If a righteous warrior wipes out a group of black path thugs, that’s a righteous act.
There’s no need to worry about anything else.
Because I decided to do it, and I followed through and achieved results!
I will continue to move forward with even greater vigor!
