136 – Apostle (2)
“No?”
“Yes, it’s not like that, it’s reacting to the reverse wind.”
hands open Black flames spread over his hands.
It was an unholy power. A black flame that seems to deny everything except itself.
I saw the will flowing through Yeokcheon.
It was a primitive feeling. It was the kind of strength that the frail people who couldn’t overcome the trials that came upon them believed in them and hoped that the situation would be resolved.
“It’s an awkward power.”
The king dismissed it that way.
“I used to be weak too. But I stood at the pinnacle on my own. Of course I am an exception among exceptions. People’s talents are very diverse.”
The king closed his eyes as if recalling memories.
“They are not bad. It’s just that they don’t like to fight and struggle. But I hate them. Don’t fight because you don’t know. I do not fight because I am afraid of death. Those who fight are just as afraid, but they only want favors.”
A deep voice of disgust came out.
“It is disgusting that those beliefs are directed at you. It would make me want to destroy the place where this belief originated.”
“… … I will take care of it.”
“It should be. And there is a religion that is said to have been founded by someone with powers similar to yours around here.”
The king looked at me while talking until there.
“Magic Cult.”
“… … You mean the Demonic Cult?”
“yes. It is a religion that worships the Heavenly Demon as a god. Their core power has already turned into a group of villains. I remember what a thousand years it was.”
“Isn’t it the altar of heaven?”
“Ah, that was the name. Anyway, the Demonic Cult is weaker than I thought. It is at the village level.”
“How many people do you have?”
“I’m barely over a hundred. so it’s weird Because the power of faith with about a hundred people gathered will be weak.”
The king stared at one side with suspicious eyes.
“Looks like I got a job. It’s my territory, so even if it’s annoying, I’ll have to deal with it myself. I can’t help it. I will come forward with this body.”
“I can do it alone.”
“yes. If so, do it.”
The king kindly allowed it.
“You are a guest, but you are also unmanned. If you choose to stand alone, so be it. The process will be tough, but the results won’t be bad.”
The king looked at me with a look of reminiscence and said.
Are you projecting your childhood onto me?
‘I must have been much better.’
If there was a conscience, it would not be possible.

We reached the village quickly.
It was a town not too far away.
There were houses built with old concrete, and people were moving things like plows in their cars for farming. They pretended not to, but they were glancing at me with their eyes.
‘I feel bad.’
I looked through the village with Holy Ghost.
Most of them are civilians. But sometimes, there were people who had a special spirit. Instead of the qi of the reverse sky, an unclean energy was creeping up.
-It’s all the influence of the Heavenly Demon. Everyone is so good, but the reverse heaven body is a body that is hard to find even if you search the entire dimension. So, later generations used all sorts of methods to obtain the power of reverse heaven.
-It’s sad. Even if Baepsae tried to follow Suzaku, only his legs would be torn. The glorious Protestantism that the previous owner conquered Murim has disappeared. At some point, they became real Demonic Cults.
Darkness muttered in a bitter voice.
I walked through town There was a statue in the center of the village.
resembling a black sky. No, a woman who looked like Black Cloth was raising her sword toward the sky.
Beneath it was an inscription.
[In honor of the first Heavenly Demon.]
‘Am I even cheating now?’
– But the master. Isn’t it better to say the first heavenly horse than the 10th heavenly horse? And it looks strong too. Above all, from the point of view that the previous owner was the owner of the Protestant religion that unified Murim, the first heavenly horse is correct.
Dark cloth desperately wrapped around the previous owner.
Since the Black Heaven is said to be part of the Heavenly Demon, he may have been ashamed of himself.
‘Even if you look at your teeth, you can still see more teeth.’
And even now, the black sky was collapsing.
I looked at Black Heaven for a moment with pitiful eyes.
circled the village. But I didn’t see anything special.
– Uhm… … .
Yeongcheon was looking at the village with a strange expression.
‘what’s the matter?’
– It feels strange. There is something very important, but I feel like I forgot it. No, is this close to a ban?
-taboo?
Darkness tilted his head.
– Yeongcheon, you worry a lot. You’re useless like me, but the current owner is generous. Don’t worry I won’t throw it away
– Mr. Seoha. Can I hit Heukcheon?
‘Do whatever you feel like.’
I sat on the grass and looked at the town.
Cozy rural landscape. Didn’t see anything different.
However, whenever some of the villagers bowed to the statue, the reverse flow reacted.
‘What’s funny is that my strength is building up.’
Its power is very weak. In terms of the number of inverses, shouldn’t it be five places below the decimal point?
However, if you consider that this power is a number that naturally increases without any effort, it is quite the same.
‘Should I reap?’
If you collect them and make a small organization in Korea and let them live, you can create a factory that automatically increases concept stats.
they put their faith in me Wouldn’t that be a pretty good condition if I invested money for it.
I stretched out my arms.
towards the village. Then the power of faith began to gather in me in front of the statue.
The power of faith accumulated in the statue so far has been replaced with reverse heaven. The condensation of breath absorbed it. Then, as faith was absorbed into the energy of reverse heaven.
[Concept stat reverse shift has increased by 1.]
The reverse stream rose.
But I had a strange expression on my face.
‘It’s ambiguous.’
It was literally an ambiguous amount.
It seems that they devoted their faith to that statue for at least half a century, but even if they absorbed all of it, it was only this much.
‘Did I just walk in vain?’
Thinking that far, my senses responded.
With great power all around. Youngcheon and Heukcheon stopped arguing and looked at her.
“Are you her descendants?”
The sunset was setting. A woman in Chinese attire was standing with her back to the sunset. A uniform with black flames on it. The woman’s hair was reddish black. Tied up with a hairpin, it created an alluring atmosphere and was looking at me with a hostile gaze.
“… … .”
The power she felt was very familiar.
The flag of the reverse. And it contained the power of flame.
‘Did he make something like the Black Flame Holy God like me?’
When the Heavenly Demon was alive.
She said that she gave up her own status in order to gain the power of Reverse Heaven. It was said that it had been 500 years, so it wouldn’t be strange to get another power.
– Master, be careful. that year. Somehow the atmosphere isn’t that great.
– Mr. Seoha. Ju-jak is a being who longs for the Heavenly Demon, but is jealous of the women around her and wants to kill her. Maybe he set out to kill Seoha. If you share the ki of the reverse sky, I will immediately deploy the space technique and get out of the seat.
‘Is that possible?’
-It became possible because I absorbed quite a bit of the reverse heaven that I absorbed from the dragon last time.
‘Then please.’
After talking to Yeongcheon, I raised the Dark Heaven Demon Sword.
– It seems that your strength has weakened since then.
‘That one?’
– Master, do not ignore Protestantism. The Four Gods were the most outstanding divine beasts to the extent that the Heavenly Demon cherished them. The dragon, which ate all kinds of elixirs and was absorbed by its owner, was a monster that once held the Transcendentalist for a short time.
-Especially, Suzaku represented military force along with the dragon. There’s nothing wrong with being careful, Mr. Seoha.
is it like that
I was wary of Yeongcheon’s words.
-host?
Heukcheon made a ridiculous expression, but I tried to ignore it.
“Handling the sacred objects of the school, and handling the same power as her? It’s ridiculous.”
“Why are you being ridiculous?”
“Isn’t even the succession done properly? You don’t have to know, outsider.”
She gritted her teeth and glared at me.
Dark flesh pierced his skin. The foundation was a life based on tremendous jealousy. Is it because he was not chosen by the existence of the Heavenly Demon?
“I changed my mind. Rather than resurrecting the Demonic Cult and recreating her myth, I will kill you first.”
You change your mind so easily, yes. As I was making a fool of myself, the master reached out his hand toward me.
Roaring!
Black flames were burning the world as if to put it to sleep in darkness.
‘It’s really black dye.’
He calmly observed the black salt made by Suzaku with his eyes.
Like my Black Flame Holy God, it was a flame created based on the energy of the reverse sky.
It looks like my flame, but it doesn’t look like it.
The nature of the flame was forcibly covered with the spirit of reverse heaven. It is a form of harmonious interweaving, with the energy of the reverse sky unstablely repelling. It is forcibly holding its shape. It takes a lot of mental energy to do that. The power will be pretty boring too.
It means that she still can’t handle the qi of the reverse sky properly.
That means it’s crude.
It’s unexpected.
If you live that long, isn’t it basic to control?
“How are you? This power that combines the energy of the reverse heaven and my flame! With this, I will recreate her myth here… … .”
“That’s not what you do.”
“what? You, the descendant of the Heavenly Demon, she… … .”
Fire.
A small black salt rose from my hand.
However, the black flame was burning stably. Perhaps, if Suzaku continues to train like this for thousands of years, he might light up a spark like this.
“Uh, how… … .”
“Maybe that’s why I was chosen and why you weren’t.”
To be precise, it was the difference in conceptual stats.
“Come on.”
I waved my hands and looked at her arrogantly.
“Neno oh oh um!!!”
The master soon lost his temper and attacked me.
