Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation-Novel

The Hidden Truth Corps had a lot of troops under its command. Both in the squad where Seol-Hwi was previously under, and the others he came across occasionally.

And the Four Emperor Troops was the one he considered the strongest among them.

Currently, Seol-Hwi was a commander of the Hidden Truth Corps, one who was to lead them. Soon, if they are going to battle, then he would lead them all, but he had not met them even once.

“There, is it fine if I…?”

Seol-Hwi, who was speaking hesitantly, went silent. Looking closely, everyone in the place stopped moving—

As if unaffected by the normal passage of time.

Seol-Hwi had seen this happen several times, so he was not surprised by this. And without thinking more about it, he left the room.

But on the way to meet the members of the troops, he felt an odd displeasure.

Forced growth—if the requirements are not met, even if the time was stopped, the system will push the situation back.

Surely a lot had changed, and now he thought that he took the initiative to change things to an extent, but when he was put through this situation, he felt helpless. It felt like being trapped in some big plan he had no control over.

When he came out, there was this middle-aged man standing there, one with a familiar face.

“Uh… you are?”

It was Heukgu, the person who administered the entrance exam for Seol-Hwi in the past.

“My name is Heukgu, please follow me.”

As he walked away, Seol-Hwi tilted his head and followed him. The two of them headed to the second floor of the main office of Hidden Truth Corps. It was the Hidden Truth Bunker.

“Please wait a minute. I will call the person in charge of training and the other members.”

“Wait.”

As soon as they went into the office, Seol-Hwi raised his hand and stopped Heukgu.

“Yes, do speak.”

“If I am the leader… then what are you?”

“Nothing particular. It can be decided by you, the commander.”

“…I decide?”

“Yes. The Fourth Disciple ordered me to assist the commander as your aide.”

“Is that so? Um… I get it.”

“Then, I will move.”

With both hands clasped, the guy stepped back.

“…Huh.”

Aide—

Seol-Hwi felt this new sense of being alienated.

In the past when he met Haekgu, he was a strong person. But now he was just another warrior. And one he could use whenever he wanted.

“The problem is that it is hard to find a member among the Hidden Truth Corps as strong as Heukgu…”

There are five people who represent the current troops. Heukgu; Jeokpa, the trainer; Hwa Sun, a captain; along with Bigun and Seo Ryeong.

The skills of most of them were beyond what he remembered with a combat power of 5 million.

Seo Ryeong… he would have to check it out, but he knew no one broke through Peak Demon.

Thinking about that made him a little sad.

The battle with the Third Disciple was bound to happen, so even if one died due to a lack of skill, there was no way Seol-Hwi could help everyone.

Even if he taught them a new demonic art, it would take time to learn. A little extra could save lives, but…

Seol-Hwi, who was confused, immediately tapped his head.

“Not the skills, but their strength can be increased right?”

How to make a warrior stronger in a short time?

Quite simple. Get a good weapon. Seol-Hwi had the toolbox, a personal storage he hardly used. He did not have any use for it lately, but it held the divine weapons which would be useful to others!

<Would you like to use toolbox?>

Seol-Hwi looked at the question and looked in.

[Equipment] Golden Belt Heavenly Shoes Golden Full Body Armor Emperor Armor Chasing Bomb Dagger [Medicine] Golden Paste 2 Purple Spirit Grass 30 Emperor Pill 1 Peach Blossom Pill 1 Vermillion Powder 1 [Other Pills] Great Virtue Pill [Miscellaneous Goods] Various Papers of Martial Arts Academy Hidden Sect’s Map (3/4) Hidden Key

Seol-Hwi’s eyes went wide.

There it was. The weapon of the Evil Faction in the past that he got from taking them down.

At the time, he picked up as many as five items and put them into the toolbox. With this, it was possible to increase their power in a short time.

“When used right…”

Seol-Hwi thought for a moment as he looked at the weapons.

First, the knuckles—

Surely they were great but difficult to use. This could only be used when one had a high understanding of the weapon.

Next, the miscellaneous weapon—

The weapon with dozens of blades around attached to a long iron rod. Think of it like a club with thorns.

Next, was the Emperor Armor. He could give that to anyone. And the Heavenly Shoes which gave speed to anyone.

So if he gave them to someone who was swift, they would move even more effectively.

“Commander, I called the people I talked about.”

“Hmmm.”

Seol-Hwi nodded as he looked at the weapons he took out. It was because he wanted to distribute them.

“Ask them to come in.”

Tak. Tak.

Seol-Hwi put the weapons aside on the side and sat down.

Scary, three men and a woman appeared.

“The education and training head, Jeok Pa, greets you.”

“Greetings, I’m Captain Hwa Sun.”

“Greetings, I’m Bigun.”

“Greetings, I’m Captain Seo Ryeong…”

The last one to speak was a bit shocked. To be precise, they looked surprised to see Seol-Hwi.

“Nice to meet you. I am Seol-Hwi, and I am the one appointed as the commander to the Hidden Truth Corps this time.”

Seol-Hwi pretended not to know her and casually accepted their greetings.

Now he was in a position which was official. He did not want to start things off in a complicated manner. He looked around at everyone and asked,

“This is a bit sudden, but has anyone around ever used a knuckle buster?”

“….”

Was this a bit too sudden? The room went silent.

“I used it a couple times before.”

Soon, one person spoke, and it was Jeokpa.

“Ohh.”

Seol-Hwi nodded and looked at him.

Come to think of it, in the past, Jeokpa had taught him so many things. If he was someone who trained warriors, then he should be able to use it.

Of course, this weapon was a lot sharper and more awkward to use than normal knuckle busters.

Still, it was a weapon which Jeokpa could use pretty well.

“Education head. If you say it… I managed to get in touch with a weapon a lot tougher than that, do you have plans to try it?”

“This…?”

Tak

Jeokpa looked a bit taken aback at this weapon Seol-Hwi showed him.

Anyone familiar with weapons would know of this. This was a weapon which was different from the usual knuckle busters.

It was all silver and had circular blades on it which no other person could imitate.

“Even though it is a bit tricky to use, it is a weapon which would go to waste unused. Learn it and do try it. next…”

Saying that he looked at Hwa Sun, and said,

“Four Emperor Captain, can you use a spear?’

“Yes, I use a sword at close range and a spear for medium range.”

“Good. Take this.”

Seol-Hwi handed him the spear.

“Huk, this…”

Hwa Sun was shocked. Unlike a simple spear, this one had several blades attached at the tip.

Accepting this hideous pole like weapon, he thought his own weapon might injure him.

“Next…”

Bigun, it had been so long since he last saw the man.

Seol-Hwi knew well what this man needed.

“You, take this, a piece of equipment which speeds up your movement.”

“This…?”

Receiving the shoes, Bigun tilted his head. He might not have realized it right away, but this was something that would help him.

“And…”

He turned to Seo Ryeong. He saw her before, but it felt different now.

“Scouting Troops Captain, use these daggers. The armor can be used to defend yourself and the daggers are good when it comes to assassination.”

“…How do you know I am an assassin?”

“…”

Seol-Hwi flinched at that.

He spoke casually thinking of the past, but her asking this question felt quite natural to him.

“This… the Fourth Disciple asked.”

“…”

“Isn’t it basic that one knows the abilities of their subordinates?”

After Seol-Hwi managed to get it right, he turned around, trying to calm down, which did not work.

It seemed like his emotions were not listening to him, because of the eyes.

Of course, now the eyes of hers held no emotion, but Seol-Hwi knew, the warm feelings they once held.

Ruk. Ruk.

While Seol-Hwi walked around trying to sort his emotions out, each of them reached for their own weapons and tried to check them out.

The moment they held them, they could feel the unusual weapon working amazingly in their hands.

“Time is not on our side. We will soon be given a tremendous task.”

Seol-Hwi, who managed to get his original expression back, continued to talk.

“We will have to head to a battlefield, we don’t have time to leisurely let you get used to the weapons.”

“…”

The faces of the members darkened and Seol-Hwi spread his hands.

“Half time. I can give you half the time you need to get used to the weapons. So…”

Seol-Hwi looked around and said,

“Since they are new divine weapons. I hope you use them well. I will point out any clumsy movements when you use them.”

“What do…”

“Uh?”

“…?”

Some were shocked while the others were puzzled.

They could not understand all this, and only Seol-Hwi smiled.

“I meant to try them out. Until you get used to using those weapons. Get it?”

For some reason, he remembered the past when he was a captain.

Cheon Miryo was walking on top of the buildings at the Earth Demon’s place.

When Seol-Hwi did not come back, she went around standing guard making sure enemy was not approaching them

And she naturally headed towards the Hidden Truth Corps.

Wheikl!

There was a sound which caught her attention.

It was a weak one but one she resonated with, so Cheon Miryo moved like water on the roof.

“Hmm.”

It was Seol-Hwi.

And there were strangers around, no, a familiar face.

Several people were surrounding him, and Cheon Miryo frowned, but soon, she figured out what it was.

To call it an attack with their clumsy movements, no one would be stupid enough to attack with a weapon they were unfamiliar with.

After looking at that, she had fun noticing things and focused on the spar. She wondered how far Seol-Hwi could manage and….

She wanted to know what was happening with that woman.
