Descent of the Demon God Chapter 137: Oddities (1)

Chapter 137: Oddities (1)

It was really strange. As if time was moving backwards in that area.
"Oh! My Lord is really wonderful!"
Hu Bong was mesmerized as he looked at the scene rewinding.
'It was worth it.'
This was the ability Chun Yeowun got from one of the demons he killed at Oshin office. And it was called Time Remind.
It had the ability to recall what once happened in a specific location. This ability to reproduce the events in that space in a three-dimensional image for a 24-hour gap was one of the most useful things Chun Yeowun achieved.
Most of the subordinates of Hagar were low-level demons, so their abilities were rather vague, but Chun Yeowun liked Time Remind.
Swoosh!
The thatched house, which was rewound, had returned to its normal shape. This time, Chun Yeowun turned his hand in the opposite direction for the time to pass, and someone appeared.
'Sayogi's grandfather.'
In the 3d image, an old man with white hair, white beard and dressed in red walked ahead. Hu Bong pointed to the man and asked.
"Lord. Is that him?"
"Yes."
The old man standing ahead of the front door had a strange expression and raised his hand.
People in white robes and masks rushed for the thatched house right away, each of them had a long gun which seemed unusual.
'Nano, what is that?'
[No information about the gun.]
Then, it had to be a new one or a self-made weapon. The masked men in white opened the door and entered the thatched house.
It was empty.
A fat man appeared next to the old man and said.
[Didn't you say that you sealed the raging blood within him?]
[I did.]
[But the GC-000 prototype is gone. Before we could even test.]
The old man's forehead wrinkled at the question. At that, the fat man stuttered and hurriedly tried to cover what he said.
[I had no intention of making you seem uncomfortable. I am just asking because there was no way that you would let that GC-000, which you have been managing for a long time, go missing.]
[Look.]
At the old man's low voice, the fat one responded very soldier-like.
[Yes.]
The old man grabbed the man's neck.
[Kuak!]
The two eyes of the old man, who grabbed the throat, were turning red.
Chun Yeowun looked at it closer.
'Those eyes are…'
The dark red blood-like eyes which Sayogi had when he wanted to slaughter everyone.
Chun Yeowun was in doubt. He couldn't be sure of this since a video wouldn't let him feel the energy, but this old man seemed suspicious for some reason.
'A Heavenly Killing Star raised another Heavenly Killing Star?'
If true, it couldn't be a simple coincidence. The old man spoke.
[You need to learn to control your mouth.]
[Kuak, yes… yes. I apologize.]
This old man was different from how he seemed in Sayogi's memories.
In the memories, this old man is kind and playful. However, not once had he shown such an intimidating feeling.
Tak!
The old man let go of the hand and his eyes turned back to normal as he said.
[In the end, I managed to find the material so I don't need to depend on him anymore.]
[Cough… cough… but we need to retrieve him. Wouldn't he be a ticking time bomb?]
At that, the old man smiled and said.
[Chuckle, if it is him, he would be dead set on turning the Murim into a mess. He couldn't have gotten far, so look for him.]
At those words, the fat man in glasses bit his lip. It was dissatisfying but he didn't try speaking out as he was afraid of this old man.
[What if the material couldn't be gotten hold of, then the spare would be a waste, are you fine with it?]
[Don't be silly. I found a way to not move it, what do you plan on doing with such a risk without diagnosis?]
[…. Alright. That side will fully preserve the power of the elderly.]
While paying attention, Chun Yeowun had a hard time understanding what they were talking about.
If Chun Yeowun was like this, could Hu Bong ever get anything into his brain?
Hu Bong just looked at the video and titled his head.
At first, he thought that it would be better to watch till the end.
[I have no reason to stay here anymore, so get rid of everything.]
[Yes.]
After saying those words, the old man disappeared.
It was the place he had lived in with his grandchild for a long time, but he said to get rid of it without a hint of regret. As the old man vanished, the men in white came out with flamethrowers.
The man in glasses mumbled.
[That monstrous old bastard missed the kid? As if I could laugh. He must have let him go because he developed affection after nurturing him for so long. Tch, how dare he!?]
The man seemed annoyed and gave orders to burn everything done.
'Ah!'
Chun Yeowun who watched till then, stopped it and rewinded it back.
After turning it a little back, the figure of the fat man trying to get away stopped.
Woong!
With his two fingers, he tried to enlarge the screen.
A small logo was engraved on the sunglasses.
[MS]
It was the logo of MS Group. In that brief moment, Chun Yeowun noticed it.
"Lord! Isn't that the mark of MS or something? No, those guys that couldn't be found anywhere."
"Hmm…"
Chun Yeowun nodded and stroked his chin with his hand. He never expected that this grandfather of Sayogi would be in contact with them.
At first, he only thought of finding one clue, and now that he found one, he felt rewinding it back for more, and watched the scene of the thatched house burning.
The house was covered with soil over it to hide the ashes.
'Why is this person affiliated with MS?'
He couldn't figure it out. The conversation seemed like there was a purpose behind it. However, it was difficult to understand as they didn't state it out. The only clue was that there was a GC-000 prototype, but he couldn't figure out what that meant.
'Prototype.'
[It means a trial with only core functions before commercialization.]
'Trial?'
The man in glasses spoke as if he was handling Sayogi, and what did it mean to retrieve him?
'If it was Sayogi's words and memories, only his grandfather and that uncle should know he exists…'
Which meant that Sayogi was unaware of this fact for many reasons.
Was it possible that he was deceived all his life? If that was the case, wasn't it the most horrible thing?
'… should I say it is pitiful?'
He died not knowing the truth behind the people around him. Well, maybe it was the best thing.
At least he didn't know about the other side of the man he considered his grandfather.
Flustered, Hu Bong asked.
"Lord, what are you going to do? Should we look around for a moment? Maybe someone could pop…"
"Wait."
"Huh?"
Chun Yeowun raised his hand, gestured for him to be silent and looked somewhere.
His eyes pierced through the forest like a hawk hunting down its prey.
About 400 meters away from there.
The top of a tree branch was so high that looking down would make one dizzy.
Two forms covered in the shadows of the branches were swaying on it, squatting with their knees bent.
The two men were looking at the same place.
The man with the hoarse voice on the left opened his mouth.
"Ark Young. Why are there two unidentified people in the place you mentioned? Without old man Cho?"
They were looking at Chun Yeowun and Hu Bong in the distance.
These people had excellent eyesight. The man called Ark Young shook his head.
"Elder Wang. I don't know either. It seems like something had happened to old man Cho. Sayogi, I can't even feel his energy."
"Is it true that the child was born with a Heavenly Killing Star like the old man said?"
"Right."
"Ugh, this is getting tough."
The one called elder Wang spoke to Ark Young in a low voice.
"I am sorry. I was too late in accepting your request for help."
"No. I owed one to the old man, so I came here, prepared to hear what he wanted to say. It looks like we came at a bad timing. What should we do?"
"They seem related. We should catch them and interrogate them…"
Before he could even finish, Elder Wang yelled.
"Ark Young. Ahead!"
Ark Young looked and noticed that the two people ahead of the thatched house weren't there anymore.
Startle!
Ark Young hurriedly stretched out his fist to the branches which were covered ahead.
Pak!
A man with red hair appeared through there. Hu Bong.
"Why are you hiding there and watching?"
Hu Bong raised his fist with Fire qi and the two fists collided.
Wheik! Bang!
"Kuak!"
Ark Young's body bounced back, filled with heat.
It was the same with Hu Bong.
'He blocked my fist?'
The opponent must have been in a hurry to counter him, yet, he managed to hold his ground.
"Ark Young!"
Papak!
The man called elder Wang jumped out of the shadows and tried to help Ark Young who bounced back. Elder Wang was an old man.
Tak!
When the old man Wang lightly stroked his pal, the fire dug on the body creating the heat was discharged from Ark Young's body.
Wheik!
"T-thank you."
"Such an amazing person. Handling Fire qi. You aren't injured internally, right?"
"I am fine. I just couldn't respond to the flame because I was in haste."
"Right. However, I hid our presence as much as I could, I really didn't think he would notice. Where is the other…"
"Behind."
'!?'
Elder Wang and Ark Young couldn't hide the shock at the voice which came from behind.
'Just when?'
In the case of Hu Bong, they managed to know the presence a minute before the attack.
However, despite being behind them, they couldn't notice his presence.
"You kept an eye over me like a rat."
An intimidating voice. This man behind seemed like a great warrior.
Pak!
Elder Wang hurriedly checked for injuries on Ark Young and turned back.
A pale white face, sharp-looking eyes and black suit.
Chun Yeowun.
At the same time, Elder Wang brought out his sword.
'This sword technique?'
Chun Yeowun's eyes lit up.
Woong!
Elder Wang swiftly aimed for Chun Yeowun's forehead.
However, Chun Yeowun caught it as he pinched it between his fingers.
Paj!
"Catch a sword?"
Elder Wang's eyes widened in surprise.
He was surprised that a man caught a sword unfolding a technique with bare hands.
The hand could have been cut if there was sword energy on the sword.
Chun Yeowun asked him.
"Old man. The sword technique you…"
Phat!
At that time, before Chun Yeowun could finish speaking, Elder Wang stretched out his left hand.
While the right hand was being moved, it was not possible to wield a technique with the other.
That too a completely different one.
'Right and Left swords?'
It was similar to what Chun Yeowun used to do, use both right and left swords with different techniques.
However, unlike the right one, which had to be dominant, right now, the left was natural and full of energy.
'This…'
Pak!
"No?"
Elder Wang was flustered. He didn't think this man could block the sudden attack coming in from the left side, which would usually make the opponent fluster.
Chun Yeowun said,
"Dual swords. I heard that the All Truth Clan had gone extinct a long time ago."
'!?'
Elder Wang's eyes fluttered at those words. There wasn't a single person in the Murim world who knew of the All Truth clan.
It was because the clan hadn't moved forward and went extinct ages ago.
Even in the time of Chun Yeowun, it was a legendary clan which only stayed in the records. It was natural to be shocked when such a young man could discover that by seeing the sword technique.
'Who the hell is he? What is the purpose of him being here? Ah? He is…'
As he was too worked up, he couldn't recognize him, but seeing up close now, this was a face he had seen several times during the news of judicial prison.
'Chun Mu-seong the vice-chairman of Yongchun group? Why is there a Demonic Cult member here?'
Chun Yeowun asked.
"It doesn't matter what you do. You people. What relationship do you have with the MS Group?"
Chun Yeowun thought that these people had something to hide as they were hiding in the bushes and watching them.
"Are you going to erase us?"
At Chun Yeowun's question, Elder Wang frowned.
And responded.
"Young warrior of Demonic Cult. Don't think that since you have recently gained reputation, you could run wildly without knowing how wide the world is."
Elder Wang raised the energy. He was a warrior of one hundred and ninety years old.
Although he was shocked by Chun Yeowun, he didn't think he would lose to him.
"There are many unknown and oddities about Murim."
Woong!
And he kept raising it. As Chun Yeowun was holding the sword with his hand, it was a battle of internal energy.
"Young master, let's have that cheekiness of yours kneel…"
Tremble!
Elder Wang, who tried to make Chun Yeowun kneel, couldn't hide his shock.
His face turned red. It felt like the veins in his arms were about to burst.
'Ah no, what kind of internal energy…'
It wasn't just that.
Crack!
"Ackkkk!"
Chun Yeowun gave strength and bent the man's finger as he asked.
"Who is the oddity? Descendant of the All Truth clan?"
"Kuaaak!"
"Kneel."
Tremble! Thud!
"Kuak!"
Elder Wang, who was trying to endure it with all his might, was forced to kneel.
And the floor around him cracked.
The knees scraped and blood oozed out. His stomach trembled in pain.
At that moment, Chun Yeowun was ready to punch.
Papapak!
"Stop! Release Elder Wang right now!"
Ark Young, who was dealing with Hu Bong, rushed for Elder Wang.
Chun Yeowun, who saw him coming, smiled, lifted his hand and made it into a fist.
Paaaa!
The sound of something breaking.
The space where the fist touched seemed like a storm would rage and shape everything.
The sight which made Ark Young puzzled.
'No, that fist?'
The fist unfolded by Chun Yeowun was the unification of energy which was used by Ark Wei.
