Descent of the Demon God - Chapter 241

Descent of the Demon God 241: Side Story (8)

‘W-when did he come in?’

Crown Prince Zhu Chi-yun couldn’t hide his shock at the sight of Chun Yeowun in front of him.

At some point, this man suddenly appeared, and that was absurd. But that wasn’t the real problem.

‘He heard all that we talked about?’

The discussion was about Chun Yeowun and their plan to kill him. If he heard all that, then this was the worst-case scenario.

What was interesting was the fox talking to him, but he couldn’t recognize it.

Chun Yeowun then spoke.

“Zhu Chi-yun.”

“A-ah. You, how could you come into the Crown Prince… huk!”

Before he could even finish speaking, his body floated regardless of his will. His body was being moved.

‘What internal energy is this!’

He had been through it before, yet, it was still shocking. Trying to hold how flustered he was, he shouted.

“W-what is this? Let me down! Now!”

There was just one thing he could do. It was to yell. But the problem was…

‘It feels weird….’

The escorts and guards had to be close by. Yet, someone freely entered the room without anyone noticing. This made him think.

‘Who can stop him from coming?’

Even if they wanted to, Chun Yeowun had the power to control the entire central plains.

“This is fun. What was that again? Take care of me?”

Chun Yeowun spoke to the Crown Prince, whose face was now ashen. He was hoping that Chun Yeowun heard nothing, but he was definitely wrong.

“I-I am the Crown Prince of the Empire. Even if you hold the Religion of the Nation, the slightest threat to the—”

Crack!

“Accck!”

The Crown Prince had his right arm broken to the extent that his broken bones were seen, yet Chun Yeowun’s expression didn’t change. It was utter cruelty.

“What of it?”

“Kuaaak.. you, you bastard! Do you think you can escape from this? If you touch the Crown Prince, the entire clan of yours will be annihilated!”

Crack!

His left arm was broken this time, and the Crown Prince screamed in pain again.

“Accck!”

Having both arms broken, Zhu Chi-yun screamed in tears. This was a first for him.

Being born a noble, no one could say anything to him, and no one had the power to do that.

“Kuaaaal!”

The pain he felt for the first time caused anger too. This was the first time he hated someone like this. But he wasn’t strong.

“Cute.”

“What?!”

Chun Yeowun smiled while bending the Crown Prince’s legs.

Crack!

“Accck!”

The broken bones stuck out. It was hard to imagine the limbs being broken while floating up.

“Kuak!”

Zhu Chi-yun’s mind was complicated. Anger was something, but this man in front of him had no ounce of consideration for him.

He didn’t think of him as a prince.

‘Kuk… that bastard….’

He was going crazy. He wanted to call everyone and ensure that the Sky Demon Order was destroyed, but he couldn’t do anything.

Chun Yeowun grabbed him by the chin.

Tak!

“W… what are you?”

He didn’t know what this man would do, and he was already angry.

“Let’s see if you can make those eyes even if your chin is pulled out.”

‘Chin?’

Zhu Chi-yun was terrified at this.

“I-I am Crown Prince! You will be….”

“Crown Prince?”

“…. yes!”

“You have a lot of pride. Then, as of today you aren’t the Crown Prince.”

“What?”

Zhu Chi-yun widened his eyes. What was this man talking about changing the Crown Prince?

Clench!

“Up!”

Chun Yeowun closed his mouth and smiled, looking at him.

“It seems like your father, Zhu Tae-gyeom, said nothing because of his pride. He should have said that this Empire will be erased in any second I want it to.”

‘!?’

At those words, the Crown Prince’s eyes shook. It was because this didn’t sound like a bluff.

‘Erase… the Empire?’

While he was still in a state of shock, someone shouted.

“Demon God! If you don’t release the Crown Prince right now, you will regret it!”

It was the man with the broken arm. He was still in pain, but he yelled at Chun Yeowun while holding a dagger.

Tak!

The Golden Gumiho who was on Chun Yeowun’s shoulder asked,

— You think that will work?

The man’s eyes widened.

“W-what is tha….”

Bang!

“Kuak!”

Before he could say anything, his body crashed into the ceiling, and the dagger in his hand turned to ashes.

Psss!

As the dagger vanished, the man couldn’t shut his mouth.

Chun Yeowun blinked.

Shhh!

The robes were torn off, and beneath them were muscles. Chun Yeowun smiled.

“I thought so. Blade God Six Martial Clan, right?”

‘!!!’

Hearing that, the man’s face went stiff. It was because those words were true.

‘Damn it…’

To hide his identity, he abolished his dantian and began to create a new one. However, this man just looked at his muscles and figured it out. Chun Yeowun smiled.

“You should have kept hiding, why bother doing such things?”

Everyone in the clan disappeared after the death of Blade God, and the reason they never came out for 20 years was that. Of course, now their plans were revealed.

‘I cannot help it.’

The man opened his mouth.

“Demon God… do you know where the son you cherish and the subordinate are?”

They were his precious people. Especially his son. He thought if they used the Sky Demon Order’sYoung Lord, maybe they could escape now.

“…”

Chun Yeowun just frowned. Seeing that, the man thought they had hope!

‘Done! Now things have changed.’

The Demon God’s weakness. Caring for his loved ones.

For years they waited for this.

Then he said,

“Demon God put me down. If not…”

At that moment, Chun Yeowun mumbled.

“They must be on the Mountain of Dead.”

“Huh. Your son… what?”

The man was perplexed. He had no intention of revealing the location.

‘… no way!’

He was so flustered that he soon lost reasoning but tried to stay calm.

Well, this was someone anyone could guess, but nothing could be done after that.

‘Right. Even if he knows, it changes nothing.’

What can he do after knowing?

The right to the life of his son and others was in their hands. It would be no exaggeration to say that Chun Yeowun was now in their hands.

“Huh! Nothing changes just because you know. Your son’s life is… haha!”

Pak!

Before he could finish speaking, the man’s body fell to the ground and was caught by Chun Yeowun.

“W-what are you doing?”

He grabbed the man’s head and said,

“I have no use of you.”

“What? W-what I said….”

Crush!

The head was smashed, and the face of the Crown Prince witnessing it turned pale again. His son was a hostage, and yet this man was acting boldly.

‘I-is he crazy? Is it fine for his son to die?’

Chun Yeowun said to him.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Shhh!

Then Chun Yeowun’s form disappeared.

Thud!

“Kuak!”

The Crown Prince floating in the room fell down as he was in pain with the broken limbs. But he was more concerned about what he heard.

‘Be back soon?’

In the Mountain of Dead, Yokai Energy was raging around. The place had strange beast screams raging. It was difficult to count the number of corpses.

Sharp and massive blue eyes from the mist as if a small mountain moved. The blue eyes were staring at them.

The white-haired man said, opening his arms.

“He is the King of the Dead. Worship him.”

“Enough bullshit!”

Hu Bong, who was at a loss of words, shouted. The only person he would worship was Chun Yeowun.

“The spirit of the Demon God’s subordinate. Indeed, there’s no way you would kneel.”

Shhh!

The white-haired man moved his hand, and the three people trapped in the ice fell ahead.

Thud!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

They were being forced.

— Kukukuku~

There was laughter that could be heard in the whole area. It was so loud that it sounded like it came from that monster.

Hu Bong bit his tongue.

‘Where did they find this monster?’

He, too, had experienced going along Chun Yeowun, so he saw the Five Spirit Beasts, which were difficult to see alive, but this was his first time seeing this strange monster. The white-haired man spoke with pride.

“You will enjoy unprecedented glory. Worship the King of the Dead. Death fades the presence of the one, and eternal life can be shared by all.”

“Kkkkkkk!”

“Akkkkk!”

The ghouls raised their hands and cheered. It seemed like they would follow the white-haired man.

“Eternal life? What nonsense.”

Even after falling down, Chun Woo-myung didn’t lose his spirit.

He was the son of Demon God. He wouldn’t die down in a crisis.

Thud!

“Kuak!”

At that moment, someone grabbed him by the head and threw him down. As his body was trapped in the ice, he couldn’t move but suffer.

“Young Lord!”

“You bastards!”

Hu Bong and Wang-suk were angry at it. In particular, Wang-suk was so enraged that even the ice Hu Bong couldn’t break was slowly breaking.

“What power.”

But the white-haired man turned it thicker as it didn’t break at all.

An unknown ghoul near Chun Woo-myung laughed.

“Ke… kekeke…”

It seemed like some ego was left in him. He lifted the head of Chun Woo-myung.

Ssss!

Blood dripped from his face. Yet Chun Woo-myung didn’t groan in pain, and the white-haired guy narrowed his eyes as he looked at it.

“The baby of a tiger is still a tiger. Look at him, not discouraged even in this situation. But how long will that be? Will you be the same even if your father dies?”

Grunt!

At that, Chun Woo-myung grunted his teeth.

“Don’t talk recklessly about my father!”

“Such a loyal man to his father.”

“Don’t make a joke. What could you rat bastards even do? You had to hold us to even go face him.”

“… shut up!”

Bang! Bang!

Holding Chun Woo-myung’s head, the living corpse banged him several times. It should have made him groan, but he didn’t, making the white-haired man think.

‘Look at him.’

This type of human is not afraid of pain. The white-haired man signaled to stop. Which made the dead ask.

“…can… kill… why… being… stop…ed?”

“I understand your feelings but hold back. Soon, we can get our revenge.”

“Grrrrr!”

At the words of the ghoul, he growled, and he removed his hand. Chun Woo-myung’s face was a mess, and he spat out a broken tooth.

He looked at the man and said in a cold voice,

“You will regret it.”

Which made the white-haired man smirk.

“Huh. You have such a strong faith in your father.”

Shhh!

Then he leaned closer as he said,

“That will soon collapse. And you will beg like a dog.”

“Funny.”

“Let me tell you this. There is no need for the King of the Dead to come. No matter how great your father is, he is nothing compared to the historical murim warriors.”

“Historical murim warriors?”

Chun Woo-myung frowned.

“Your father is a child in front of the legends of Murim. Huhu.”

The white-haired man stood up and beckoned as he walked.

Then, he brought someone back.

“Brother Yun!”

It was Yun ja-seo.

“Kuaaak!”

Yun Ja-seo was heavily bleeding with one arm cut off. Looking at the concerned Chun Woo-myung, the white-haired man asked,

“What are you doing?”

“It seemed like you had built some bond within the few days you were together.”

“Don’t touch him!”

Chun Wo-myung warned him, but those things never worked. The white-haired man enjoyed his reaction and spoke loudly.

“King! I will make the sacrifice here. I beg you to accept this sacrifice and grant me something.”

Kikiki!

Eerie laughter was heard all around. It felt like something would happen, and the white-haired man said.

“Watch the King’s favor.”

Wooong!

A huge shadow was about to move in the air.

It was then.

Bang!

A huge roar ran out at the same time. The shadow existence presumed to be the King of Dead that stood tall like a mountain was easily pushed.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Each time it moved, the land shook. The middle-aged man didn’t understand what was happening.

“King?”

It was then.

Swish!

Something landed right in the middle.

‘!?’

There was a black robe fluttering. And the wind rose, making the fog rise as well.

Wheik!

And as the thick fog was lifted, everyone shouted.

“Father!”

“Lord!”

“Lord!”

It was none other than Chun Yeowun who landed there. The eyes of the white-haired man and the unusual-looking living corpse turned to him simultaneously.

“Demon God!”

They didn’t expect him to come here. The man bit his lip.

“Ha! To enter the tiger’s den with your own feet! Hit him.”

At his cry, the ghouls around tried to attack him.

“Kuak!”

“Grrrr!”

“Ackkk!”

Chun Yeowun took one step ahead, and all the ghouls within a 10-meter radius bounced back as they scattered into ashes.

‘!!!’

Nothing was left behind. They entirely just disappeared. At that, the white-haired man shouted.

“Huh! Ghouls! All rise and kill him!”

And once again, those dead beings ran to Chun Yeowun.

Dudud!

At first glance, they seemed like hundreds or thousands. It was hard to imagine just how such a number of corpses were found.

“Taste the horrors of the dead! Demon God!”

Chun Yeowun mumbled

“Just corpses…”

The Golden Gumiho who was on the shoulder smiled.

“How about we show the right kind of it? Chun Ma.”

“Hmm.”

Chun Yeowun, who had an annoyed look, took a step ahead, and something shocking happened.

Gloomy energy spread around from the floor, and everything turned white.

Shhh!

Something came up from the changed ground, like a spirit, but not too.

Shhh!

An uncountable number of ghosts appeared, leaving behind white particles as they moved up. The white-haired man who saw it mumbled,

‘W-what is all that?’

This was more terrifying than the ghouls. As the white-haired man froze in shock, Chun Yeowun commanded the ghosts.

“Feast.”

And with that, all the ghosts flew at once.
