Chapter 189

However, not everyone seemed to welcome the idea of Banya attending the banquet .

“Isn’t it too soon?”

Banjoong .

The man who sent Bansan, his disciple, to fight against Tacan .

He, who was one of the highest authorities of the Command Clan, was opposing him .

The fact that Banya would participate in the banquet was a sign that they had accepted Muyoung as Banya . Therefore, it couldn’t be helped that Banjoong would feel reluctant .

If Banya became the official successor, Banjoong’s status would be jeopardized . He would have to return the privileges he had gained when there was no successor .

“Banjoong, why do you think it is too soon?”

As Bango, the head of the clan, asked, Banjoong made a slight smile .

“Doesn’t he need to visit the ‘Godmother’? When Banya was young, she was the one who cherished him dearly . I think that is the correct procedure . ”

At that moment, Bango’s expression became fiercely puckered .

That Bango wasn’t happy with Banjoong’s comment was strongly shown .

“Godmother isn’t mentally well . ”

“Isn’t it because she lost Banya and Moonang? She will be greatly pleased when she knows Banya has returned . ”

The reason why they didn’t have a successor until now was simple .

It was because when Bango’s wife Moonang and Banya went missing, he didn’t remarry .

Also, there was a problem with his private part .

The Command Clan controlled death . There were a lot of times they got addicted to poison by touching corpses .

And through that poison, his private part lost its function .

Bango was unable to produce any more offspring . Most people in the clan knew that this was the biggest reason why he didn’t remarry .

So, it was true that the focus was shifted to Banjoong .

But, after Banya returned, the focus was shifted again to Bango .

If the Godmother was to see Banya, the results would be unpredictable .

‘Even if he was really Banya, she wouldn’t be able to recognize him . ’

There was one thing Bango and Banjoong were certain of .

Everything was shut out by the Godmother as she became mentally ill . And so, she spent her days deep within the royal palace as if she was exiled .

Additionally… if things went wrong, Banya could also die .

She was a true ‘master’ who had even faced battles against demon kings .

She was a true heroine who raised the Command Clan, and achieved everything on her own .

Even if she hadn’t used her strength for a long time, she still had the appearance of a master .

Although no one said anything, the atmosphere seemed to be agreeable .

It seemed like people thought the Godmother would recognize him if he really was Banya .

Bango had no choice but to decide .

‘He has seven bone dragons and 3 strong allies . Banya’s skills should also be above average . ’

It was about appointing a successor . He needed everyone’s consent .

If he was to refuse, he could receive a counter blow .

However, what if he was to lose Banya?

From what Bango could tell, Banjoong was full of greed . Although Banjoong suppressed it well until now, if Banya died, he would fully express his lust for power .

Real or fake, it was the reason why he needed the current Banya to be his successor .

“I will go see the Godmother . ”

Then, Muyoung, who acted as Banya, spoke .

There was only one person known to be the Godmother of the Command Clan .

‘The Dark Commander Seo Eunsae!’

Although she was well known in his past, she was someone who Muyoung didn’t meet in person .

She was a mysterious master who was known to have greater skills than Wung Chunglin .

Although she was already dead when Muyoung was active, the footsteps she left behind were enough for others to admire .

To be frank, she was a retired former master .

She was secretive enough that she was known as the Dark Commander, and was also known as the ‘Textbook of Death’ as she faced thousands of devils on her own .

He never expected for her to still be alive .

He thought she had already passed away .

If she was alive, he would like to meet her once .

It was like aspiration towards someone who achieved a master level in a similar field .

“See? Doesn’t Banya also agree? How beautiful is this sight! The Godmother will also be very happy . ”

Banjoong made a move first .

Bango’s expression hardened even more .

There was no reason to stop if the person in the matter was okay with it .

As there was no way to win the case that the eldest person must first be greeted, Bango had lost this fight .

A palace that seemed nothing short of a ‘royal palace’ was visible .

At least, in terms of the size of the palace, it seemed to be similar to the Reign Clan’s .

It was an example of how much prosperity the Command Clan possessed when the palace was built .

However, now it was almost empty and was like a dead palace .

Bango walked with Muyoung .

Only those who were selected could enter the palace .

“The Godmother is stronger than anyone else here . But, as she is mentally unstable, she will be on high alert if more than one person enters . So, you must enter alone, but… if something goes wrong, you might die . ”

Bango spoke .

It was a result that was already decided and as they could not reverse it, this was like advice .

“You mean, me?”

Muyoung shrugged his shoulders .

Certainly, the Dark Commander Seo Eunsae was strong .

If she still had the skills of her prime days, the list of the top 10 would also change .

There were a few former masters who were like that, and Seo Eunsae was among them .

However, even if those former masters were to barge in, they couldn’t win against the current Muyoung .

He didn’t even need to let out his military power .

Muyoung’s confidence of this sort worried Bango .

Bango was already half certain that Banya was really his son .

“If I could, I would go but…”

This place, the royal palace, could only be entered by those who had permission .

However, there were people watching him in the surrounding .

Although it was a secret location, there were still people openly observing him . They would most likely be Banjoong’s men .

It was obvious that if Bango showed any signs of helping Banya, Banjoong would push them into a corner by criticizing them about tradition and rules .

“I will enter alone . ”

However, Muyoung was comfortable going in alone .

A meeting with a former master he wanted to see .

The great figure who was known to be comparable or stronger than the owner of the Forest of Death!

Muyoung went into the much deeper parts of the palace alone .

It was no different than a maze .

The surroundings were dark, and spider webs were everywhere .

It was evident that it wasn’t maintained . It was left alone for that long .

Muyoung walked forward as he passed the broken debris that was everywhere .

Finally, he reached the deepest room .

“Who…is it?”

The owner of a head of long white hair leaned against a wall .

The body was full of wrinkles, and the eyes had lost focus .

By looking at her appearance, she seemed to have lost her mind .

The Dark Commander Seo Eunsae . For the woman who used to be portrayed as a tremendous master to be in a state like this .

“Banya . ”

Muyoung spoke briefly .

Then, Seo Eunsae raised her head and looked at Muyoung .

“No… You are not Banya!”

Seo Eunsae lifted her long fingernails .

When she got up, she instantly reduced the distance between her and Muyoung and attacked him .

It happened in one-third of a breath .

Swish!

Muyoung was holding Anguish in that short moment .

Anguish cut off Seo Eunsae’s fingernails .

Thud!

Then, he kicked Eunsae who ran towards him .

Muyoung spoke as he looked at Eunsae who was pushed to the wall .

“Yes, I’m not Banya . ”

He didn’t think he needed to wear a mask .

And so, Muyoung removed it .

Then, Eunsae’s body became indistinct .

Like a shadow, she started to assimilate into the darkness .

“I will kill you . I will chew on your flesh and break your bone into pieces!”

Although he wasn’t able to see her, the whole room rang with her voice .

But, Muyoung threw Anguish at one corner of the room .

Stab!

With a sound, Anguish was dyed red .

“Kyaaaaa!”

As she made an animalistic sound, she once again disappeared .

He was unable to see her as if she, as if she had turned into an invisible person .

Muyoung stretched out his hand .

Grasp!

“Gaaauuu!”

Eunsae’s neck was grabbed .

Even if she hid her appearance, she couldn’t deceive Muyoung’s senses .

It was like teaching a bird how to fly .

She was comparable to Wung Chunglin, but Muyoung had already greatly surpassed him .

In other words, it was like holding a candle to the sun .

“Dark Commander . ”

Muyoung looked at Eunsae’s face as he grabbed her neck .

A distance where their breaths could reach each other .

And Muyong released all his strength .

“Ah! Aaaaacckk!”

Eunsae started to struggle .

It was because when she looked at Muyoung’s eyes, she felt the same darkness as the abyss .

As if she was struck by lightning, she was scared out of her wits .

The darkness and holiness, flames of purification, and Luciferre’s soul!

Eunsae couldn’t help but struggle in front of that chaos .

However, Muyoung felt a strangeness as he felt and saw Eunsae’s soul .

Her soul was too unstable .

He had also received this sort of feeling once before .

“You have met Dantalion . ”

The Demon God of the 71st seat, Dantalion .

He took away everything in exchange for a sweet truth or a lie .

When Muyoung met Murdurdun, he also was killed by Dantalion .

Although they said Eunsae had lost her mind after losing Banya, Muyoung didn’t think that was the case .

Then, what did the Dark Commander find out before she lost her mind?

“Tell me what you know . ”

“Aaaaaack!”

Muyoung dug through Eunsae’s soul .

There wasn’t much known about the demon gods .

If he could find out, he needed to know .

He was very curious about the truth the one who was called the Dark Commander had heard .

He forcefully opened the door that was locked . Eunsae’s eyes rolled up and as she showed only the whites of her eyes, she started to talk .

“The Earth has… already been destroyed . There is no place… for us to return . ”

Muyoung frowned .

What was this all about .

Even now, the gate opened once every month . The people on Earth came through the gate into the Underworld .

It was proof that the Earth was fine .

If it was already destroyed, people wouldn’t be able to come to the Underworld .

There was no way for that truth to not have spread .

And if the Earth did fall, Alexandro Quintart wouldn’t have wanted to go back to that extent .

“Earth didn’t fall . ”

“Ellarsigo… is a weapon to destroy Earth . Ellarsigo will once again lead humanity to fall…”

Thud!

Eunsae’s head fell .

Although she was breathing, it seemed like she lost consciousness .

No, it seemed like she forced herself to lose consciousness on purpose .

‘Self-defense mechanism . ’

It was the reason why she was alive until now .

Also, it was certainly the reason why she was dying .

Wung Chunglin excelled at brainwashing, but Eunsae seemed to excel at self-defense mechanisms .

It could be understood by seeing how she maintain her faint soul after being attacked by Dantalion . She became blank afterwards though .

For her to be in a state where Muyoung couldn’t even do anything .

It seemed like this was her limit .

There was no piece of memory left . From what Muyoung could tell, Eunsae’s soul had already reached a limit .

‘When the Reign Clan’s Castle was built, she was also there . ’

By seeing how she mentioned the Ellarsigo, it seemed she also knew of their existence .

But, through her self-defense mechanism, it made her forget them all .

It meant that it was information she knew, but wanted to erase .

It also implied that the memory shouldn’t be recalled .

He was lucky .

If Muyoung didn’t pull out the last remnants of the memory that faintly existed, it would have all been erased .

‘I must participate in the banquet . ’

All the important people gathered at that place .

There would be more people who would know about the Ellarsigo .

Also, it seemed like he needed to break the Ellarsigo’s seal in order to understand what Eunsae was talking about .
