53. preparing for war
The emerald sea sparkles.
The midsummer day’s sunlight was dazzling, and the sandy beach heated up the soles of my feet with moderate heat.
Seeing even the blowing wind gently brushing your face, it’s an infallible resort.
It is truly a perfect summer resort.
Except for the fact that it was an artificially created beach on an island in the sky.
“How about it, isn’t the scenery nice?”
Even though the answer was already decided, I didn’t feel bad.
How could it be?
The beauty and the beautiful scenery, the leisure given for a moment is really sweet.

Looking away from the shimmering beach, I saw the teacher in school uniform.
Just in case, I didn’t feel sorry for her because she wasn’t wearing a bathing suit.
Even if it wasn’t that, it was a place that meant a lot to me.
‘Come on, follow me.’
It was a long time ago.
As I inevitably recalled the faded memories, her cheerful smile, strong will, and the beach split in half came into my mind.
And when I opened my eyes, I saw my teacher’s face, clearer than anything else.
She was smiling today too.
“How are you doing? Beach?”
As she said, it looked very good.
It’s high-definition enough that there’s nothing to improve, but if one wish comes true… …
“I hope to see you again next time.”
“Okay, let’s come again when the opportunity arises!”
The teacher’s smile grew even thicker as if he had heard a satisfactory review.
Seeing her like that, I also somehow felt a warm feeling in my heart.
I don’t have any particular dark feelings, but I thought it would be much fresher next time to see the teacher in a swimsuit.
After enjoying a brief moment like that, a sad news came soon after.
—The midfield was invaded.
Starting with the Singyo of Mt. 100,000, the midfield is made up of the old factions, the Five Greats, the Sapas, and the Black Swords.
It was a land with a tight border and strong combat personnel, befitting a region where numerous forces were concentrated.
If it was a civil war where the powers were greatly divided, it would not be possible to suffer from measles in most external situations.
However, what is the reason for explaining this invasion as a tragedy?
—The Heavenly Demon is dead.
This is very sudden news.
It was not uncommon to hear the news that a master of Protestantism had died overnight.
It wasn’t a chronic illness or death, especially if it was murder by someone else.
Even more so, if the territory was pushed back and forth by the killer and occupied right in front of the church, the seriousness of the matter would be much greater.
‘The future has come forward.’
The butterfly effect, which I don’t know how many times I need to emphasize. It was now near impossible to pinpoint exactly when the incident would happen.
However, it was possible to predict who the pleural fluid was.
Killing the Heavenly Demon and Invading Central Plains. The one who raised him was a Saihan martial artist.
Blood Gong (血功), often referred to as Magic Gong.
A monster that has learned to deal with blood beyond vampires, as well as external and internal techniques.
blood demon.
He was one of the most dangerous demons in the Demon King’s army in his previous life.
It is obviously a demon that will appear ten years later, but it has come much earlier.
The appearance of the Blood Demon, the invasion of the midfield, and even the death of the Heavenly Demon.
For me, a regressor, this is definitely a strange incident, but it must be just good news for the Gupabang and the Five Greats, which are called political parties.
In the 21st century, the sensibility divided into Jeong, Sa, and Ma has been diluted a lot, but even so, Madu, who is at the opposite point, is dead.
I wouldn’t even think that the Heavenly Demons would perish, and I would hope that it would fall in moderation.
But I knew.
If the blood demon was already standing in the same position as in the previous life, the current Protestantism would be destroyed.
Cheonma Shingo, where Cheon Yu-ha did not succeed to the throne of the Heavenly Demon and did not cross the realm?
I couldn’t last less than a week.
I suddenly remembered the face of a close friend smiling cheerfully, and I made up my mind.
‘Going to Jungwon.’
However, it would be better to take a small ally than to go alone.
“… … What is it, you boy?”
The dormitory door was opened and the figure revealed was still covered with helmet and armor.
Will I ever see a bare face in this lifetime?
After asking that question for a while, I reached out my hand to him.
“Are you thinking of hunting?”
“… … what-”
“Dark demons.”
“… … ?”
“I know where it is infested.”
When I said that part, the helmet’s gaze moved slightly up from my face.
Ki-shin, who was staring blankly at something, eventually lowered his head and said.
“… … Just tell me the location.”
A more obedient attitude than expected.
They only ask for the destination, but they won’t say much if you take them directly.
Well, it’s an area where a guide is essential.
‘I’m lucky.’
I recruited a guy who is crazy about the devil.
For free.

“It’s right in front of you now.”
The Murim man, flying a red long cloth, gazed up at one of the most rugged mountain ranges in the central plains.
An evil mountain that ordinary people will climb while going through all kinds of hardships.
However, it was common sense that did not work at all for a master like him.
‘I want to tear it right now.’
The first taste of slaughter in my life was an unbearably supreme pleasure.
Even more so, even though the opponent was a mortal, it was all the more so because he was a recognized master.
The blood demon digested the turbulent energy inside me and glared at the hundred thousand mountains.
One day until you get used to the energy obtained by offering the heart of the Heavenly Demon.
I will conquer the Ten Thousand Mountains—the Heavenly Demon Goddess, and dedicate the entire continent of Central Plains to my father.
Blood Demon sighed and closed his eyes.
Absorbing the power of the Heavenly Demon, he indulged in the memories contained in his blood.
The monster wearing a human mask sat cross-legged and operated its own martial arts.
“Red Blood Sura God.”
As the blood demon murmured, the corpses and bloodstained on the floor rose up and headed towards him.
The traces of all the dead in the war were condensed into one point.
A reddish glow arose.
It is red blood ganggi that differs from general ganggi.
It was the god’s martial arts that controls the red blood of all things.

Two hundred years have passed since the advent of magic and martial arts.
After countless developments, there are many methods of modern means of transportation in the 21st century.
The unit price was very expensive, but it was possible to move instantly with a teleport magic circle, and it was an era where it was not boring to ride a personal flying boat.
But that’s the story of those who are overflowing with money, and I wasn’t that rich yet.
The originally planned route was to take the sky train, land in Jungwon, and move to Mt. Sibmandae.
I thought that if I just ran hard, I would be able to go quickly.
“You say that?”
I was immediately stopped by my master. Her arrogant face, almost like seeing for the first time.

Lee Chung didn’t like my effort, so he wanted a flying boat.
A personal flying boat that can fly me and my party to the hundred thousand mountains at once.
‘i love you. Master.’
Again today, suppressing the desire to scold me with a confession, I headed for the airfield obediently.
It’s not a train platform, it’s the first time I’ve ever been to a place where flying boats take off.
To be honest, it was a little strange.
When I reached the stage where I deserve to be treated later, it was after all the organizations and facilities that would give me such good treatment had flown away.
‘Master’s virtue is considerable, but good is good.’
Maybe I have already become a great person in this life.
That’s how I boarded a private flying boat with wind in my lungs.
From the outside, it looked like a soccer ball, but the inside was much wider than expected.
It seemed that everything, starting with space expansion magic, had been applied.
That’s why it was so damn expensive.
“Choi Kang-joon. This way.”
I headed to the prepared room while shaking my head leisurely at the guidance of the flight attendant.
To say that it was extremely spacious, it was a flying boat the size of a penthouse, so we arrived quickly.
‘What is this?’
For some reason, I could see the embarrassed back in front of the cabin, the back side of the armor blocking the road.
In the end, Kisin also decided to ride the same flying boat.
It wasn’t that I persuaded her, but Master did a good job.
… … This guy, why is he not going in sooner and blocking the road?
Is it an expression of dissatisfaction?
Shaking my head, I moved closer to the guest room.
Then something invisible from afar came into view.
An angel smiling with a smile—a white-winged woman.
“Voila! I decided to go too!”
It was Lucia, the former second-in-command.
‘I’ve never heard of this… … .’
At first, it was embarrassing, but when I thought about it, it was really powerful.
Because she was one of the elite among the white wings, the natural enemy of demons.
It would be a little irritating because of his volatile personality, but it would be a big help.
“… … Uh, okay, please take care of me for a while?”
“yes yes! I will leave it up to you!”
“… … .”
Surprisingly, it was the first time that the 1st, 3rd, and 4th ranks of the combat department gathered together.
When they arrived at Sibman Daesan soon, even Cheon Yu-ha would join them, so all the top cadets gathered.
“… … what is this?”
Of course, I was wondering if it would mix well.
‘it will work out somehow.’
***
“Professor, it is time to step forward.”
He raised his trembling eyelids at the sudden voice.
I saw Elder 1 with a worried expression, and behind him I saw a door that I was afraid to open today.
“… … Yes, I will go.”
For the first time since I started to walk, I felt a sense of fear.
Having lost her father suddenly, she is facing a historic day today.
‘I must stand above the sky.’
