185. Demon Spear
+++
“This is it.”
When the four arrived at a room in the basement, the soldiers guarding it bowed their heads.
The wizard stepped forward. When he unlocked the locking magic on the vault door, the thick iron door went down.
Inside, several wizards, including the court mage, were struggling to maintain the small barrier.
In the center of the barrier, a black and red spear, the subject of the seal, was floating in the air.
Seeing this, Doyoon’s eyes lit up.
“Soul Demon Spear.”
A demonic spear that took the lives of countless allied forces in the hands of the notorious demon king’s executive, ‘Piercing Curse’.
It was a spear familiar to all four of them who had been fighting the Demon King’s army for a long time.
According to the court wizard’s instructions, the barrier was removed, and everyone, including Dokgo Moo-young and the Lion King, retreated behind Do-yoon. Doyoon took four steps and faced the window.
supportive position… upright position…
As soon as the barrier was removed, ferocious demonic energy spread rapidly. Machang was very upset with the situation he was in, so he went wild.
As a result, Do-yoon raised momentum. Between Doyoon and Juhonmachang, conflicting energies collided and sparks arose.
Got the card…! Chi-jik, kajizik-
Lion King and Dokgo Moo-young, who were watching this, frowned.
“…Lord Enoch. Even if it somehow damages the power of the spear, I think we should take action and kill the demons. The creative backlash is too strong.”
Doyoon shook his head at Dokgo Mooyeong’s words. Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the spear.
Kwajijik-!
Kaa
The spear blew out energy as if in an attack. There was a ghastly sound, as if something was screaming.
The rough Magi gnawed at the flesh of Doyoon’s palm like a worm and burrowed into it. The muscles in his palms revealed their color, and the veins in his hands sprouted as if they were bursting. Soon, the permeated Magi climbed up his arm like an earthworm crawling through his veins.
The startled Lion King ordered the wizards to take action, and the court wizard also hurriedly shouted.
“Wizard!”
“Lord Enoch! Let go of the window!”
However, despite the fuss around them, the faces of Do-yoon and Busker watching them were calm.
A dragon heart burned in Doyoon’s danteon. Pure and vast mana embraced the aura of Shin Soo-jong and ran furiously through the bloodstream to the palm of his hand.
There was a feeling that it was not enough to solve this situation simply with his aura and mana. However, Do-yoon’s willpower, which became stronger after the War of the Demon King, was not something that a corrupt beast could dare to handle.
The moment the wizards were about to rush at Do-yoon, energy exploded in Do-yoon’s palm holding the spear.
Paaang-!
“Oops!”
The wizards who rushed at it flinched at the intense energy that drove away all the demons in an instant.
Soon, the noisy room was quiet.
“…”
The demonic energy surrounding the dark red spear disappeared as if it had been washed away. Even though the Juhon Demon Spear was held in human hands, it did not run amok anymore.
Dokgo Moo-young saw this and narrowed his eyes.
‘Have you subdued the spirit demon spear…?’

Just in that brief moment?
Doyoon pulled out the spear from the holder holding it in the air. Then, with his other hand, he stroked the spear pole and skilfully inspected the blade and pole.
His palms, which had been revealing muscles and bones, were soon reddened. Soon, flesh-colored skin covered his palms, and his hands regained their original form without scars.
Because it was Doyoon, it ended like this. The thick exorcism and aura that flows in his blood, vast mana, high tenacity, and willpower. If it had been someone else, the arm would have burst right away.
Holding a spear in his left hand, Doyoon looked at the regenerated palm of his right hand with satisfaction.
‘I really like this body.’
It is the strongest body composed of the karma of defeating the demon king in the previous life. Now that his potential is fully ripe and he has even ingested the dragon heart of Gyo-ryong, Do-yoon’s body is no longer inferior to the King of Heaven in terms of durability.
This will allow him to fight much tougher and more freely, like the previous battle against Satan.
A battle reminiscent of Hecleos, who had the strongest body, would be possible, for example, rushing head-on into the enemy camp while taking in the concentrated fire pouring down on him.
“…Hmm, hmm!”
Soon the Lion King cleared his throat, and the servants who came to their senses brought what they had prepared.
The bound demons were dragged into the room with the shouts of the soldiers.
“Kreureung…”
“Stay still!”
The one with a close-to-human form glared at Do-yoon, biting the muzzle of his mouth.
Doyoon went in front of the demon on his knees and pointed the spear at his chest.
“Kreureung…! Hureung, ugh!”
Even though he was chained, he twisted his body in anger, and his chest was touched by the tip of the spear.
Then, his body stood still.
“!!”
The demon trembled with a stiff neck and looked down at my chest.
The center of his chest, which had been wounded, was writhing. The pus and ooze spread in an instant, like seeing bubbling lava.
He watched my body rot in real time, terrified.
Soon, when Doyoon stabbed the changgeuk a little into his chest, ripples rippled as if a stone had been thrown into the river. Pus and ooze spread all over the body in an instant.
“Keep, uh, uh…”
Soon, the man covered in rotten skin convulsed with his eyes closed.
“Eww, keug gg gg gg gg gg gg…”
pop!
It exploded.
Literally, as if the entire body had been structured as a bomb in the first place, it exploded in an unrealistic form.
As blood and flesh splattered in all directions, the Lion King snapped his fingers. The filth that was headed for Doyoon and the others ignited right in front of their noses and disappeared.
Someone muttered admiration in the quiet room.
“indeed…”
No matter how brave he is, he would never have thought that he would tame the spear right here.
The Lion King and Dokgo Moo-young, who were equally surprised, also looked at Do-yoon with meaningful eyes.
While the attendants moved to clear the foreign matter from the walls, a bone scratching voice rang briefly through the room.
“Good.”
Doyoon also nodded at Busker’s words. Indeed, as infamous, it was an excellent spear.
‘When the spear touches, a powerful curse quickly penetrates and corrupts the body.’
And if it’s a single demon, it can’t stand it and quickly leads to destruction.
It was all just a simple touch, but that’s about it. Since the performance of a Shinbyeonggi is highly dependent on the user’s ability, it would be very useful if used in earnest.
‘This is the 12th bag.’
Doyoon continued to conserve power in preparation for the upcoming battle.
‘Maybe now really…’
It may not be long.
If the coalition succeeds in going north this time, it will be able to end the war really quickly.
No, to be precise, you will be able to face the demon lord.
The end is in sight. The end of this bloody war.
‘…’
Doyoon stroked Changshin and fell into thought.

Brudet swung his sword in the center of the training ground.
Doyoon and Busker stepped back to the edge and watched him. Busker was watching Brudet’s posture.
Do-yoon, arms crossed, fixed her eyes on Brudet and said.
“Isn’t that a joke?”
“…”
Busker responded silently to Doyoon’s words.
Do-yoon knew that his friend was deeply moved.
Brudet is about 120 years old. And before Busker’s death, when he held the title of swordsman, he was around 30 years old.
Busker and Hekleos had the best talents under the sun, but Brudet had 100 years of war experience and training. This is something even Busker couldn’t do. I couldn’t ignore it.
As a result, Brudet reached the stage where he could face a corps commander within the castle, the 3rd rank of the current warriors, excluding Doyun.
“Your dream, it seems, is not far away.”
Busker’s dream, it was the moment of clearing, when the disciple surpasses the teacher.
Of course, it is impossible for Brudet to surpass the present Busker. However, Busker and Doyoon thought.
‘If it were me 100 years ago, before I died…’
That kid might be able to jump over it sooner or later.
If that happens, Busker will see with his own two eyes what he has longed for.
‘Am I… dreaming.’
Busker felt himself overcome with happiness just by imagining it.
Soon, Brudet’s swordsmanship demonstration ended.
“Whoa…”
The sweaty Brudet let out a breath. It was proof that he showed his everything with all his heart.
clap clap clap
Doyoon applauded Brudet as he approached them. Busker just looked at his son in silence.
Doyoon could feel it.
‘Brudette, since Busker came, the speed of his daily growth has accelerated.’
This was true even after taking into account the fact that Busker was directly guiding them.
Doyoon could guess the difference.
‘willpower.’
Brudet’s goal in life is to make her father’s dream come true. That was the path of the sword he pursued.
Perhaps, the reunion with his father spurred his will to grow.
He was trying to surpass his father from 100 years ago. I wanted to show it to my father.
Now, Brudet’s will was burning more fiercely than ever.
‘It’s a good phenomenon.’
Doyoon smiled in satisfaction as he watched Brudet being taught by Busker.
After the son’s guidance, Busker approached Doyun and opened his mouth.
“Enoch.”
Doyoon looked at the approaching busker.
Busker standing in front of Do-yoon only looked at him with empty eye sockets, but Do-yoon quickly understood his meaning and smiled.
“good.”
He nodded.
After a while, the two stood facing each other on opposite sides of the training ground.
“By the way, are you okay? Didn’t you say that the gathered strength was too small?”
“Dalian is not a problem.”
Certainly, judging from the way he stood holding the sword, there seemed to be no problem.
Busker’s posture was not inferior to that of 100 years ago. It was a stable and honest attitude that was unique to the Busker style, and that gap could not be found.
Doyoon narrowed his eyes as he saw the figure.
‘…Did I underestimate it?’
It is only natural that if you become undead, you will become weaker than when you were alive. Wasn’t it even the lowest-class skeleton among them?
He said that there was almost no energy or even morale to realize the power he possessed. Because of this, Doyoon was not doing a great job.
However, at that level, even if he fought sincerely, it seemed that he could not guarantee a perfect win rate.
‘Come to think of it, that guy must have been blessed by the system too?’
Suddenly, I became curious about Busker’s status window.
While thinking, Busker aimed the tip of his unique cold sword at Doyun.
See your skills after a long time. Let’s see how strong you’ve become so far. Busker did not utter such trivial jokes.
He only spoke with his sword.
“Branch.”
At the same time as Doyoon nodded.

The battle between the two reunited heroes has begun.
