*The bishop’s servant. Changed to Magyo’s Envoy
Seol So-baek hid his hands full of cold sweat in his sleeves. He couldn't get rid of the nervousness.
It was a long way off.
It was too shocking and too terrifying for the young man to bear.
‘Magyo.’
Only what Chung Myung said came to mind in his blank mind.
- Take a good look at it. Who's in the North Sea right now. And what the hell are you guys dealing with.
What the hell have they been looking at all this whole time?
Just by knocking down Seol Chonsang and regaining the North Sea, everyone rang the news of victory without hesitation.
Even though the real problem was different.
Seol So-baek wiped his face with his cold fingertips.
When he thought of the conversation he had had a while ago in the Clan Leader's Office, he couldn't bear to lift his face in front of Mount Hua's disciples.
How pathetic did Chung Myung Dojang think of the Ice Clan?
Even though they clearly knew that such demons were breathing in the land of the North Sea, they did not feel any sense of danger. Like an idiot who doesn't notice a sharp sword even though it's right in front of his neck.
"Huuk. Huuk…….”
Seol So-baek's breath gradually grew rougher. His face flushed red and his breathing became difficult.
At that moment, someone's hand fell on his shoulder.
"Oh……."
He raised his head at the refreshing energy that penetrated his shoulders. Before he knew it, Tang So-so approached and was looking at him with a worried face.
"You don't have to look at it."
"…… N- No, it’s fine."
Seol So-baek shook his head and bit his small lips. Then he glanced sideways. Seeing Chung Myung meditating, and said with a determined face.
"I have to see it with my own eyes. That's what Chung Myung Dojang said.”
Trembling, he approached the window.
Step.
Step.
It was really strange. In this chaos, the sound of one person's quiet footsteps resonates so loudly.
Now, this battlefield was filled with the screams of those fleeing and the agony of those who were dying.
So it should be impossible to hear those little footsteps.
But his movements clearly penetrated into everyone's eyes and ears.
Crossing the battlefield as if taking a walk, he approached the place where the Ice Clan warriors and the Demonic cultists clashed and waved his hand lightly.
"Back off."
"Yes!"
The Demonic cultist, who had been brutally exterminating the Ice Clan warriors all along, stepped back at once and lined up behind the man.
“…….”
However, the Ice Clan warrior’s faces who saw the scene became even paler.
It was an instruction that made no sense.
Right now, the victory of the battlefield was completely over to the Magyo’s force. It would be foolish to stop fighting at this point.
But no one could laugh at the fact.
Because everyone knows.
That is not an act of stupidity.
That is an order born of the confidence that they could annihilate everyone here at any time.
And…….
‘Those wicked crazy bastards, with just one word he said...….’
Those who had been rampaging like crazy beasts followed orders like perfectly trained soldiers in one word.
At that unbelievable sight, everyone present couldn't help but realize.
Magyo, which turned Jungwon into a bloodbath and drove the world into hell. What the name really means.
Those who ran away also stopped walking, and those who were driven to the brink of death let out the breath they had been holding back.
A dead silence fell in the Ice Clan where so many people were gathered. It was so quiet as if one could hear the sound of a needle dropping.
The man at the forefront, Magyo’s Envoy, silently looked at the warriors of the Ice Clan.
The moment he checked the enemy side who was terrified and didn't know what to do, a twist appeared on his lips.
“… … I got a little excited when I had these dirty unbelievers in front of me. I'll have to ask the Bishop for forgiveness.”
He did not forget his duty.
What he should do is not condemn the North Sea Ice Clan. These bugs can be wiped out at any time.
His only mission is to retrieve the Ice Crystal and return. As quickly as possible.
Delaying time dealing with the scum of the Ice Clan would also be an act disloyal to the Bishop and the great Heavenly Demon.
"Listen."
A dreary and eerie voice came out of his mouth.
“The faithful servant of the Great One desires Ice Crystal.”
The words reminded everyone of various emotions.
Some had the hope that they might not have to die here, and some felt repulsed and terrified by the bizarre expression of being a faithful servant of the Great One.
Some were shocked by the word "Ice Crystal" itself, and those who knew the existence of Magyo were horrified at the true nature of those they had treated casually.
Chaos engulfed the entire Ice Clan.
"Then I'll ask."
The Envoy slowly opened his mouth.
"Where are the Jungwon people who took the Ice Crystal?"
“…….”
Jungwon?
The moment they heard the word "Jungwon," there was a strange light on everyone's face.
Then they're here to find the people of Jungwon? Not to invade the Ice Clan?
The Envoy spoke coldly before they could clear their minds.
"Hand over the Jungwon people. Then we'll go back as it is. But, if you don't hand them over...… Today, not even a single ant cub will survive in the Ice Clan.”
At those words, nearly half of the people looked at the same place in unison.
Elder Yosa Hon, who was watching the situation from behind.
“…….”
He shuddered slightly, feeling the numerous stares on him.
The eyes of the Envoy were also naturally drawn to him.
"Are you the Clan Leader?"
“…….”
The Envoy frowned at Yosa Hon, who was frozen and unable to speak.
‘He's just a rat.’
He could tell at a glance that he didn't qualify to be Clan Leader. Seol Chonsang, of course, was a pathetic leader, but at least he had bottomless ambition.
"Answer me. Are you the Clan Leader?"
"I- I am not the Clan Leader. I'm……."
At Yosa Hon's answer that finally came out, the Envoy's face slightly contorted.
"You're not the Clan Leader?"
Then why is that guy standing at the very back?
The Envoy, who stared at Yosa Hon with disapproving face, shook his head slightly.
"It doesn't matter. Give up the Jungwon people. If you intend to refuse, you must be prepared.”
Yosa Hon's breath gradually ran out.
Many eyes were fixed on him. It was Yosa Hon who know the meaning of those desperate eyes.
"Where is the Clan Leader?’
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
"… W- Will you really go back?"
"Literally."
"Then again, wouldn’t you come back to the Ice Clan later...….”
“How dare this rat-like bastard… … .”
Suddenly, the Envoy showed his teeth with anger. Yosa Hon flinched and closed his mouth.
"Magyo is not a place where the likes of you dare to negotiate with. Do I have to tear that mouth apart for you to understand?"
“…….”
"Make up your mind, this is the last time.”
Yosa Hon's whole body began to be drenched in sweat.
'What on earth does he mean to decide?'
There was only one choice he had in the first place.
Mount Hua's group is the saviors of the Ice Clan, but he can't bear to see the Ice Clan completely collapsing just to protect them.
"That……."
Yosa Hon was about to speak out.
"No, Elder!"
A determined voice from behind his back blocked him.
“…….”
Yosa Hon turned back with a sweat-drenched face. Han Yi-myung was walking on his way with a stiff face.
"Don't lose your reason."
"Ge- General Han...….”
“Getting out of this crisis is not the end. Have you forgotten why they want to take Ice Crystals?”
“…….”
“It is clear now. We must never let them do what they want.”
Han Yi-myung, who spoke firmly, murmured inwardly.
'Although it's too late to realize.’
If he could, he wanted to run to Mount Hua’s disciples, throw his head at the ground and plead guilty.
Even though he lived on the land of the North Sea, he did not know what Magyo was like. Even though the disciples of Mount Hua Sect continued to warn them, he did not listen.
They now pay the price.
"I should have listened to them."
“…….”
"If Heavenly Demon is resurrected, this is not the end of it. Don't you know why he was called Heavenly Demon?"
"B- But …….”
"We must protect them."
Han Yi-myung's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted in an increasingly furious voice.
"At all costs!"
Yosa Hon looked at him with blank eyes.
"I- Isn't that the end if everyone dies?"
"When Heavenly Demon is resurrected, everyone will die anyway. Will they just leave us alone as there is no reason to keep us alive?”
“…….”
"Don't forget why Magyo is being called Demonic Cult. We forgot what we shouldn't forget, and we pay the price for holding hands with those we shouldn't.”
Of course, it was originally Seol Chonsang's sin, but since they decided to take care of the Ice Clan, they had the responsibility to solve this problem.
And isn't they responsible for ignoring the endless warnings of Mount Hua‘s disciples?
"I- I....”
It was indeed an instinctive, fatal mistake.
Yosa Hon, who was too confused and lost his reason, turned his eyes to the place where Mount Hua's disciples were.
And the Envoy didn't miss Yosa Hon's gaze.
His gaze followed Yosa Hon’s.
His eyes were fixed on one of the hundreds of windows in the large fortress. The people standing in it were clearly visible.
It was a completely different uniform from the warriors of the Ice Clan.
There was no need to check.
From the beginning, the group’s eyes and expressions were different. Instead of getting scared like those in front of him, they were staring at him with eyes full of anger and fighting spirit.
The Envoy's lips curled up strangely.
"That's them."
His eyes flashed with joy and madness.
“Retrieve the Ice Crystals. You must not kill them until you retrieve the Ice Crystals.”
"What should we do after obtaining the Ice Crystals?"
"Do as you please."
As soon as the order was given, the Demonic cultists rushed across the snowfield like black rays of light.
Han Yi-myung shouted with a pale face.
"Stop them! Don’t let them past us!"
Baek Cheon's eyes had sunk cold.
"Sahyung."
"I know."
Yoo Iseol's short call gradually hardened his eyes.
"Jo-Gol, Yoon Jong!"
"Yes!"
"Stand by Chung Myung’s side. Don't let anyone touch even his finger!"
"Yes!"
Yoon Jong and Jo-Gol immediately ran to Chung Myung and pulled out their swords, guarding his left and right.
"So-so!"
"Yes, Sasuk!"
"Protect the Clan Leader."
"Yes, don't worry!"
Baek Cheon looked back at Hye Yeon and said calmly.
"Monk, I need your help."
"Amitabha. Believe in me and fight."
Hye Yeon nodded his head with his eyes devoid of a single worry..
“I will believe you and fight.”
"Thank you."
Baek Cheon lowered his head slightly and called out to Yoo Iseol.
"Samae!"
"Yes."
Seureurung.
Then he drew his sword and asked.
"Are you afraid?"
“…….”
Yoo Iseol shook her head instead of answering him.
“The ancestors of Mount Hua Sect did not just fight against them but risked their lives to fight these enemies. As their descendants, we... … .”
Baek Cheon rolled up the corners of his mouth.
“Shouldn’t show shameful appearance. Let them remember that Mount Hua Sect was the place that destroyed the Magyo!”
"Yes, Sahyung!"
Yoo Iseol responded in an uncharacteristically loud voice while gripping her sword.
"Let’s go!"
"Yes!"
Feeling a sign of someone approaching quickly, Baek Cheon glanced back.
He could see Chung Myung sitting quietly with his feet crossed.
'There's no rush.’
‘I will protect you until the meditation end.’
‘Even at the risk of this life!’
