Descent of the Demon God

03:54 AM

Beep! Beep! Beep!

-This is the CCTV room. Emergency! The target is in the elevator! All crew members must move quickly.

“What?”

“What does that mean?”

The team members waiting near the stairways of the 5th basement floor couldn’t hide their shock.

Until a second back, the mission seemed to be proceeding smoothly.

But it changed in an instant.

Beep!

“Oh?”

“What is this video?”

In the CCTV video which they were seeing in their goggles, Chun Yeowun was still on the chair with his eyes closed.

However, the video of Lee Taek-yoon being caught was seen on the other side.

They reacted in the worst way possible.

Whoop!

“Damn it!”

When people heard the distressed voice of Lee Taek-yoon, they ran up the stairs without thinking.

Tatata!

Yeom Chan, the team leader, who was in charge of teams A and B, and Baek Woo-mun, the first team leader, were ahead of the others.

Lee Taek-yoon couldn’t be hurt.

Meanwhile, the air in front of the elevator was different.

No one was moving, despite aiming for Chun Yeowun, who grabbed the chief.

Drip!

In a few seconds, their faces inside the helmets were soaked.

It felt like they were prey standing in front of a wild beast.

‘I couldn’t see him…’

‘I didn’t even blink…’

It was a lot faster than a bullet.

All of them were then aware.

‘This… this is a Superior Master!’

This existence couldn’t be compared to the criminals of Murim they had dealt with before.

Murim was known to be the strongest power in the world during the opening of the Gates.

‘Chief!’

Lee Taek-yoon was overpowered, and he was at a loss for what had to be done.

Listening to the squeaking sound through the earpiece, it was clear how dangerous the situation was.

It was then, Lee Taek-yoon tried to speak.

“Wa… wait…ing… for whom?”

His eyes trembled.

From what he said, didn’t it mean that he could detect everyone there from the 5th basement floor?

Even if he was a Superior Master, he shouldn’t be that great.

‘No. He was never at that level. At least, he’s at the end of the Superior Master Level… no, it should be higher. Just how did this monster stay hidden till now?’

The beginning and end of the Superior Master Level are different.

When he was flustered by his thoughts, Chun Yeowun spoke.

“Indeed, it’s different.’

“What?”

Lee Taek-yoon couldn’t understand what Chun Yeowun was saying.

Not caring, Chun Yeowun continued.

“There are 3 Super Masters. 8 high-ranked, and then there are 3 men with different energies and 16, just okay people. Hmm.”

‘!?’

Lee Taek-yoon was shocked.

Shockingly, their target was able to accurately grasp their power.

Yeom Chan, the mobile strike team leader who led Team A and B, Baek Woo-mun, and himself were Super Masters.

And the power levels of the other members were also accurately stated.

‘… he is bad news.’

Unlike him, who was shocked, Chun Yeowun was puzzled.

The Murim of the future wasn’t as awful as what he heard from his descendant.

That didn’t mean the Public Security was amazing, just better than what he had imagined.

‘So this is another time axis.’

Considering that the era he was in didn’t have an imperial family but an institution that commanded the officials.

Nano’s explanation made sense.

In any case, dealing with these people was a priority.

[We will process it within 12 hours. You should exercise your right to remain silent while you are in the Bureau. Please refrain from acting out as much as possible.]

That was what Jo Yu-seong had asked.

He spoke as politely as possible, but he meant stay silent and don’t move.

However, Chun Yeowun wasn’t the kind who had unconditional patience.

He never even knelt in front of the emperor.

Just because the era changed doesn’t mean he changed.

“I tried to be quiet, but you guys always ignored my warnings. Since you are in Murim, you need to be prepared for the outcome, right?”

In Chun Yeowun’s grasp, Lee Taek-yoon struggled.

“Cough… put… me… down.”

“Hm?”

“Dog… put me… down.”

With that, Lee Taek-yoon pressed a button with his left thumb.

At that moment, a dazzling and sparkling light flowed around.

Crackle!

Sparks flowed through Chun Yeowun’s hand.

“This is it!”

Lee Taek-yoon, told the mobile strikers with a hand signal that they could fire.

Dududud!

Tring!

Lights were broken, and the corridor became dark in an instant.

Only the flashes from the muzzles could be seen.

Dudududu!

Lee Taek-yoon’s safety wasn’t even thought of.

It was like a sacrifice of allies.

Papapak!

The bullets fired hit Lee Taek-yoon’s body, which had a protective suit on.

But the bullet didn’t penetrate.

‘Kuaak!’

The protective equipment was bulletproof.

It could even withstand sword qi.

Of course, even though it was bulletproof, it would still hurt.

‘You idiot! Acting out because you are Superior Master?’

He was shocked when the target appeared.

However, the plan went wrong right from the beginning.

‘His muscles will become stiff due to the electric shock, no matter how strong he is. You will not be able to demonstrate self-defense.’

He never thought that he would have to resort to such a thing, but it looked successful.

When the bullets fell, the target’s hands, which turned stiff, wouldn’t move.

Whoa!

‘Oh?’

Chun Yeowun’s grip on his neck grew stronger.

The hand wasn’t stiffened by the shock.

‘Ugh, this can’t be!’

Flustered, Lee Taek-yoon struggled and tried to raise his internal energy and strike away the target’s hand.

Crack!

“Ugh!”

His neck cracked.

Lee Taek-yoon’s body, which was screaming, drooped.

‘!?’

The mobile strikers who were firing noticed something odd.

It was because the camera video from Lee Taek-yoon’s helmet looked to the ground.

‘What? Did the chief pass out?’

As a Super Master, they thought he would be alright.

A member of the 5th team realized something had happened and shouted.

“Stop shooting! Stop shooting!”

“Roger!”

They naturally stopped firing, plus they had to change magazines anyways.

All the lights were broken, and their vision was dark.

‘Is it done?’

Click!

When the mobile strikers pressed a button on their helmets, the goggles switched to night vision mode.

Their vision turned green.

The moment they looked…

‘No… way…’

They doubted their eyes.

Naturally, they thought their bullets hit the target.

But the bullets were floating in the air as if they hit an invisible wall.

‘N-No way!’

The sight of hundreds of bullets floating was terrifying.

This wasn’t simple self-defense.

Those who knew martial arts knew it.

‘Is he… really a Superior Master?’

No, he couldn’t be a simple Superior Master.

“Ah?”

Lee Taek-yoon was on the floor.

Lee Taek-yoon, who they thought passed out from the pain of getting hit by the bullets, was like a cold corpse.

“D-Damn it!…”

A member, Poong-gi, shouted.

It was then, Chun Yeowun moved his hand.

And,

Papapak!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

Hundreds of bullets floating in front of Chun Yeowun flew in all directions as if he was shooting them from a gun and pierced their bodies.

The bulletproof gear was supposed to withstand machine-gun fire and even sword qi.

Yet, they all fell to the floor as their bodies were hit.

Bang!

In the CCTV room, a mobile striker, who was watching the scene, hit the desk with his fists.

Shhh!

The nine videos from the camera feed went black at once.

It meant that the helmets were pierced.

The only intact camera belonged to Lee Taek-yoon, whose body was lying limp on the ground showing the dark floor.

“Damn it, what happened?”

Song Wei-kang, who was there, asked him.

He had no idea what happened.

He wanted to hear some kind of an answer when the member in front of the monitor hurriedly radioed.

“Team A, Team B. Operation failed! Operation failed! Instead, go up to the 1st-floor elevator using the emergency stairs!”

Lee Taek-yoon and the good members were killed.

It wasn’t a head-to-head confrontation.

There was a problem.

“Team A! Team B! No, team leader, what’s happening?”

Yeom Chun and both the teams had come up ignoring the radio.

“Team leader!”

-Shit, raid the target.

Enraged by the death of their chief and colleagues, they seemed to have lost their reasoning.

That wasn’t right, so even Song Wei-kang tried to dissuade them, but to no avail.

Click!

They opened the emergency exit door and threw the remaining gas bombs into the hall.

With smoke, the gas bombs opened.

Whoops!

Yeom Chan shifted to night vision mode.

The cam screen changed to green, and then he opened the exit door and entered the corridor.

The other members followed.

“Shit!”

The one watching it through the CCTV room was going crazy.

Despite his warnings, the teams entered the hallway.

Now it was a situation where he prayed that these two teams would subdue the enemy without sacrifice.

‘This time, he’s here.’

Shouldn’t it be different this time? Why the ominous feeling?

Click!

At that moment, the voice of Yeom Chan was heard.

Everyone turned on Yeom Chan’s camera feed while he was by the elevator.

In the middle of the corridor, the target was seen standing right in front of the gas.

He was relaxed, close to defenseless.

-Shoot!

Dududud!

Along with the shout, the machine guns fired right away.

But then,

‘!?’

In the green screen, the target pulled out a white sword from his waist and split all of the bullets in half.

“L-Look at that. My eyes seem strained!”

Song Wei-kang couldn’t help but be shocked.

There have been rumors that Murim men could cut down bullets, but they didn’t know it was possible.

‘… nonsense.’

Even those of the mobile strike team trained in martial arts were shocked.

It was impossible to cut down bullets that moved so rapidly.

‘Is it possible for a Superior Master to do this? But…’

More doubts.

‘… just how?’

It was strange.

From the way he moved, it didn’t seem like the gas worked.

Since he was a Superior Master, it would take time for the gas to work, but it should still work.

‘Ah!’

Shrek!

At that time, Chun Yeowun suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Yeom Chan’s cam.

All in the blink of an eye.

Chak!

The sound of something getting cut could be heard through the speakers.

The scream from Yeom Chan.

“Accck! My arm!”

Yeom Chan’s cam was moving like crazy.

Meanwhile, they could see what had fallen to the floor.

“A-Arm!”

The severed arm.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t it.

Yeom Chan’s headcam turned right and kept turning.

Thud!

“Kuak!”

Thud!

The cam looked to the floor like Lee Taek-yoon.

No one said it, but everyone knew that he was dead.

It was just the beginning.

The people who looked at the screens trembled.

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

“Kyak!”

Screams kept flowing in from the CCTV cameras, and the screens all looked to the floor in a moment.

All of the hairs on the body began to rise on those who saw that.

“Kyak!”

Thud!

With that, the last member’s cam looked to the ground, and those in the CCTV room stood up.

It was because they were scared.

Click!

“Uh?”

At that moment, the last screen suddenly rose and showed someone.

It was Chun Yeowun.

Chun Yeowun looked into the camera and opened it.

His voice came through.

-So there was a camera here too.

Chun Yeowun tapped the cam as if he was intrigued and looked at the ceiling.

-Are you watching from above too?

The faces of those who were looking at the CCTV monitors turned pale.
