Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Novel

Shh! Shhhh!

“…!”

Three or four enhanced energies barely brushed past his body and Seol-Hwi put some distance between them, strengthening his defense. If his body did not move as he thought of it, he would have been killed in an instant.

The End Demon only moved once.

It was just a usual slash down. However, one slash down brought in numerous enhanced energy attacks.

Seol-Hwi moved and avoided it, but strangely, the enhanced energy attack which flew to him had disappeared.

“Huhuhu. What? Can you not tell the difference between what is real and what is false?”

“…”

Seol-Hwi frowned at the words of the End Demon.

If one used the supreme martial arts then, it would be easy to use illusion martial arts. To use sword energy or enhanced sword attacks as illusions, though, was not an easy thing.

If what he had just avoided was not enhanced energy, but a change in sword light, Seol-Hwi would have been frightened.

The problem was that the End Demon was the best disciple of the Heavenly Demon, and the hidden cards he had at his disposal were unknown.

Thinking that the enhanced qi was just a trick a second back, if he had been careless, his arm, or worse, his neck would have been cut.

A strong force which moved in the air before the slash finished—

It was not something which could be logically explained. First the energy of the sword had to be handled, and then the sword energy needed to be brought out, and after, it had to be divided.

But the End Demon was surpassing that level.

It was because the sword energy was fired before it was fully charged.

Kukukuk

Seol-Hwi tried to predict the End Demon’s next move by using all his senses. At the final stage of Supreme Demon, he could predict the next move by sensing the strange energy on the body of the opponent.

Originally, he could feel it, but it was not so easy now.

“Umm… Um…”

Ching

There was this intangible energy rising from the End Demon, and it was covering everything around, like fog blocking one’s sight.

And this made one question pop up.

Chaos energy was more about using their innate energy.

And the End Demon was used to using this for killing.

“…”

And that mindset, was this kind of skill possible with a desire to fight?

It could not be known.

Anyway, the ultimate stage was to push the body and mind to their limits.

Watching the End Demon’s skills, Seol-Hwi changed the way he would respond.

Swish!

The End Demon’s attack came right in time.

Swish!

The End Demon’s sword, full of energy, was close to resembling the howling of a beast.

“…!”

Seol-Hwi avoided the enhanced energy which came when the sword was soaring high, and also avoided another enhanced qi attack in the middle. Then another which almost rushed too quickly at his hand.

Ssssss. Pak!

And the enhanced qi which melted into the air vanished.

“…Hm.”

And the sword energy was extended. Seol-Hwi could feel the strange energy around him. He was convinced of it.

He held no idea what martial arts this was.

It was probably an attack which was expected at the level the End Demon had.

Seol-Hwi was used to drawing the power of nature when he needed internal energy after crossing the wall of Supreme Demon.

So, in the process of accepting the energy, the chaotic energy was flowing in too.

“Huh!”

While he was thinking about that, the End Demon continued to attack.

Ss. Sssshhh.

The sword which continued to tremble in the movement of swinging the sword—

Seol-Hwi, who had been retreating, rushed as soon as he realized it.

Ching

One hit. Seol-Hwi who attacked and defended at the same time, caught up to the End Demon in an instant and swung his sword.

“…Uh!”

Chik!

A surprise move aimed to inflict the correct wound. He was able to aim it at the neck.

Hik!

But something strange happened.

The End Demon received the attack of Seol-Hwi with his neck and shoulder blades. He grabbed the sword which flew for his neck with a technique similar to handling a sword with his hands.

“What body…*

Even Seol-Hwi was taken aback at this. Receiving a sword with enhanced energy on it, with his bare hands?

What kind of defense was this?

“You got caught.”

“…?”

And the guy who took the attack was smiling.

He said words which could not be understood.

“Haaa!”

Kwaang!

—came the most powerful shock with a powerful heat. The flames created by the End Demon went around, drawing a circle around him and engulfing the area in flame.

“Insane!”

“Not a human!”

The Blood Strong Troops who saw it, were shocked. Unfortunately, they saw two of their members get caught in the flame.

Pssss

The energy was enough to turn a person into ashes in an instant. The flames spread around without any warning. It was with a force they could not have previously imagined.

Bubble

Despite the explosion finishing, the heat did not die down. As if lava was pouring out, the heat blocked the access to the surroundings.

“T-this is…”

At this point, it was the moment when they are worried about the safety of the End Demon. The guy who was standing in the center of this flame was turning brighter with ash being pushed away.

He looked around, shocked.

Seol-Hwi was still standing.

“Huh…?”

The End Demon tried to kill him immediately. The most powerful attack of the Four Peak Demonic Martial arts, the best secret attack to burn everything in range.

However, the guy was still alive after being hit by it.

“It was… pretty dangerous.”

Oddly, the guy did not bother dodging it.

Bubble!

While Seol-Hwi was talking, the heat was clear.

But he was not harmed in the slightest. The opponent’s supreme flame was similar to the one skill the End Demon used to kill him in the past.

So he wanted to confirm it.

If he had not grown as much as the past, he would have been swept away by the explosion. But he surpassed this.

Kukuku

Like now, he could not possibly control the heat. Of course, he almost lost consciousness due to the attack.

“Now it is my turn to show you.”

“Y-you! cheeky bastard…!”

The End Demon gritted his teeth, but his face looked pale.

At the moment, he used all his strength for that one attack. Of course, blocking the attack like he did should have been impossible.

It was a situation where there was no precedent that the opponent would be alive at all. And such martial arts…

“Ahem.”

Papat!

Seol-Hwi, who was about to finish, stepped back. He narrowed his eyes.

“I think you can stop now.”

Tuk

The Bloody Death Warlord intervened.

“The First Disciple must have seen enough skills. Wouldn’t it be understandable that the Earth Demon has a subordinate of such skills?”

“…”

“First Disciple?”

“Huh!”

The End Demon looked away.

Come to think of it, the reason he came here was to recruit the Warlord. And it became impossible because of his subordinate.

They were trying to reverse the situation by holding the Warlord responsible. But since they saw all this, he could no longer try for it.

“Using a butcher knife for chickens. In this education training… sending such a Supreme Demon warrior.”

Supreme Demon warrior.

The End Demon glared at Seol-Hwi.

“You… What is your name?”

“Seol-Hwi.”

“Seol-Hwi… right.”

The End Demon said the name three times as if he would not forget and then—

“It will be a proper fight next time. See you. Of course, there should be a chance for that.”

Wheik

He walked away with a carefree attitude.

“Fourth Disciple. You have a great subordinate.”

Swish. Clap.

The Second Disciple, who watched this, clapped his hands and looked at the Earth Demon with a mocking smile.

“But, this, I didn’t think you’d bring your trump card out this early.”

“Tsh, I cannot believe you brought out a Supreme Demon in such a place.”

The Third Disciple said so with a serious face.

“Congratulations Fourth Disciple. Having good people. And ahead… you will get a lot of attention from your sahyungs.”

Saying that they disappeared from the Earth Demon.

“Phew…”

The Earth Demon who was left alone sighed.

He knew that Seol-Hwi was strong to the extent that even taking him as a secret warrior did not feel right. However, he did not expect growth of this level in the slightest.

There were not that many warriors who were active in such positions.

From there to the Bloody Death Warlord—

Unknown emotions were stimulating his eyes.

“Fourth Disciple. How is it?”

Came the voice to him.

An old man with a beard down to his neck, he was the one who had visited this place with the elders.

When the Earth Demon saw him, he lowered his head.

“Former elder.”

“Right. It is nice to see you looking bright.”

He said gently stroking the beard,

“That child under you?”

“Right.”

“Nice. Judging from the skills, I didn’t think he would be one to be under you…”

“Uh. That…”

“It is a joke. With your skills anyone can be your subordinate.”

The old man patted the Earth Demon on the shoulder.

“Is there anyone in the sect who doesn’t know about you?”

It might seem like a compliment, but it felt like it had more meaning to it, and the old man smiled.

“I am hearing various things these days. Didn’t you lean for the power structure of the First Disciple? The famous warriors also joined you, and you are doing well now. There are many elders watching over you now too.”

“Thank you.”

“Yes.”

The old man looked away, and then after taking a quick look he quietly approached the Earth Demon and continued the conversation.

“But at times, you need to hide your talons. There is no benefit in provoking your sahyungs. No, you already provoked them.”

“…”

“If the balance breaks, they will find their way again. At least, the First Disciple will.”

He took a step back. Then he looked around again and smiled.

He forgot about it.

The First Disciple was not the kind of person to forget, and the Second Disciple would not either. It meant that they would do anything to even the playing field.

With that, the Earth Demon looked away, and then he approached a man standing quietly.

“Seol-Hwi.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Upon the bow from him, the Earth Demon patted him on the shoulder.

“It was really amazing. I never thought that you could go against great sahyung.”

“That is an exaggeration. There are many things I still lack.”

Seool-hwi shook his head.

The End Demon was mentally and physically strong. This time, he was on a higher level, but he overcame the difference.

Of course, Seol-Hwi did not show off his full strength either.

“Now that we have come this far, there is no need to delay it any longer. Since I have you as my secret warrior, I will give you anything you want.”

Seol-Hwi’s eyes widened.

At last, he had completed the difficult task that he would not have been able to complete without his past experiences.

A message appeared right in front of his eyes.

<You have succeeded in becoming a [Secret Warrior of the Earth Demon].>
