《Descent of the Demon God》Chapter 26: Portent (4)
Advertisement
The eyes of the team leader, Go, looked at Chun Yeowun.
Judging by the fact that he even pointed and spoke emotionally, it seemed like he was very angry about being tortured.
Chun Yeowun looked at the team leader with his usual expression and tried to step forward.
“Stop. It would be in your best interest to not take a single step from there.”
Pak!
Team leader Go hurriedly held out something he was holding in his hand.
A small monitor with a terminal.
“Why should I?”
The team leader shouted at Chun Yeowun, who didn’t understand what the monitor was.
“I heard that you’re a Superior Master, so you must be brave. But how far will that attitude take you?”
Click!
The team leader pressed one of the two buttons on the terminal.
With a frequency line appearing on the monitor, a warning sound was heard.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
It was the sound of a detector.
The team leader spoke with a smile on his face.
“Can you hear that? That’s the sound of your death alarm.”
At that time, superintendent Neung Do-myung, who was next to him, reached out with a gesture to pause.
“Geum Jong-so. Why did you make this choice?”
At the sorrowful question from Neung Do-myung, Baek Jong-so answered with a loud voice.
“Is the man who took my mother as collateral really asking that?”
“You’re a fool.”
Neung Do-myung shook his head.
At the sound of the terminal, Baek Jong-so asked in a low voice.
“… what kind of trick is this?”
“Trick? This is the thing you asked for.”
“What?”
Baek Jong-so was shocked.
If his words were true, then they currently had the terminal which could control the nano bomb in his body.
Seeing Baek Jong-so scared, Neung Do-myung continued.
“We secured research from MS. Stupid bastard. Did you think that we would let you go so easily?”
‘I can’t… you made a code to unlock the bomb?’
Baek Jong-so couldn’t hide his shock.
They always said that they were trying, so he thought the Bureau had given up on him.
However, if his words were true, the Public Security was really trying to disarm the nano bomb.
“Do you realize the mistake you made?”
Neung Do-myung asked Baek Jong-so, who was confused.
‘I’m sorry. If you hadn’t strayed off the path, such trouble wouldn’t be here.’
Actually, something was untrue.
In the file sent by the director, there was only the code to detonate the bomb, not disarm it.
When asked if the code could disarm, the director said it would take time.
It was because they had just managed to secure the frequency of the bombs.

But this alone was enough to shake Baek Jong-so.
“I will give you a chance though. Destroy the dantian of the person next to you and redeem yourself.”
‘!?’
Baek Jong-so’s face hardened at those words.
With his life on the line, they were asking him to betray someone.
“You! What are you saying….”
“The order came from above to destroy you. As your identity has been discovered by the Six Road Toys, you are of no use to us. Besides, you betrayed us.”
“T-That…”
“I don’t want to hear your excuses. But after reflecting on the past I decided that I’ll ignore the order from my superiors and give you a chance. If your loyalty is proven, I will try to get the higher-ups to reconsider.”
“Giving me… a chance?”
“Shouldn’t you be alive to see your mother? Are you going to die first?”
Despite his soft words, it was nothing less than a threat.
Grunt!
Baek Jong-so was unable to hold back his anger.
Despite being a member of the bureau, Neung Do-myung had the tongue of a snake.
From the first time they met, he knew that he was being pushed into a pit that couldn’t be climbed up.
‘You don’t have a choice. Geum Jong-so. The answer has been decided.’
A smile crept across his face.
Baek Jong-so turned his head and looked at Chun Yeowun.
This man was like a God to the members of the Sky Demon Order.
And this man was his only hope to see the truth behind the sudden dissolution of the Black Sky Company.
‘If I sacrifice this person to save my life, will I get to see my mother?’
He didn’t have to think.
He was the head of the Pure Kick Clan, which was under the Great Sky Demon Order.
Tremble!
Shaking in anger, he sent a message to Chun Yeowun.
A voice full of determination.
[Lord Chun Ma. It looks like things are going to be tough. Since you’re Chun Ma, you will be able to get out of this place. So please rescue my pitiful mother!]
There were no nano bombs in Chun Yeowun’s body.
Which was why Chun Yeowun would be able to escape.
[Forgive me for the rudeness I have shown.]
When that was done, Baek Jong-so shouted.
“Keep your promise.”
At that, Neung Do-myung smiled.
“I promise. I will risk my honor for your life. Go on and destroy him.”
At that, the team leader Go put his finger on the terminal and shouted at Chun Yeowun.
“Move even a little, and you’ll explode. If you don’t want to die, don’t even try to move a hair!”

Baek Jong-so slowly approached Chun Yeowun.
And energy concentrated on his hand.
‘Now!’
Shrek!
A small dagger came out of the sleeve of Baek Jong-so.
At that moment, he quickly turned and threw it at Neung Do-myung.
‘You need to be killed!’
The dagger loaded with energy reached the head of Neung Do-myung at a tremendous speed.
It was then.
Visor!
Before it pierced his head, someone struck away the dagger.
It was a surprise attack, yet the curly-haired man next to Neung Do-myung was able to block it.
“How dare you!”
Team leader Go flinched at the sudden attack and tried to press the button.
‘Ahh…’
Baek Jong-so, who failed, closed his eyes.
His whole body was gripped in fear as he knows how the nano bomb explodes.
Path!
Then, someone took the terminal.
The curly-haired man.
Team leader Go was trying to protest, but the man handed the terminal to Neung Do-myung and said,
“We aren’t in a hurry, superintendent. Give him to me.”
Chak!
The person he pointed to was Chun Yeowun.
Neunh Do-myung was speechless as he was still in shock because of the dagger which came for him suddenly.
“It has been a while since I’ve had a serious battle with a warrior in Shenyang. After all, we have the detonation code. Why hurry?”
The eyes of the curly-haired man were filled with joy.
He was a man who was eager to fight from the beginning.
‘… this man isn’t under my control.’
Neung Do-myung nodded his head.
“Huh!”
Srrrng!
When permission was granted, the curly-haired man pulled out his sword.
It was made of some alloy rather than iron.
Woong!
When the man released his energy, a blue sword qi formed across the sword.
Just looking at it was enough to know the man was a Superior Master.
Goo!
“Woah!”
“What energy!”
Exclamation flowed out of the mobile strikers’ mouths.
They, too, learned martial arts, but they were still shocked at the sight, which was rare to witness in Shenyang.
The man approached Chun Yeowun and said.
“I heard that you are a Superior Master too. Huhuhu. To meet a criminal with the same level of skills as me in Shenyang, I’m so lucky, right?”
His voice seemed elated.
The energy felt from Chun Yeowun’s body was of the Super Master Level.
As his internal energy couldn’t be sensed, he thought he should be equal to or a little higher than the Super Master Level.
“Don’t be wary of the detonator or machine guns. No one will disturb us while we play.”
Shhh!
After a certain distance was obtained, the curly-haired man took a stance.
He had no intention of underestimating his opponent.
He just wanted to enjoy the fight.
“You seem nervous, so let me make the first move.”
Phat!
In an instant, he moved in front of Chun Yeowun.
With a splendid trajectory, the blue sword qi tried to cut Chun Yeowun.
It was then.
“Play with yourself.”
Grab!
“Hmp!”
Before the sword could touch him, Chun Yeowun grabbed the curly-haired man’s face.
‘Wh-What strength!’
Bewildered, the man readjusted and tried to cut Chun Yeowun hand.
Clench!
His head shattered and splattered like a watermelon.
Unable to scream, the man whose head was shattered staggered and fell down like a broken doll.
Thud!
‘!!!’
The inside of the abandoned factory was stained with silence at what happened.
The Superior Master, their trump card, met a tragic death in the blink of an eye.
It was shocking.
“Such a talker.”
Shake!
Chun Yeowun shook and wiped the blood off his hands.
“Eik!”
Team leader Go immediately shouted at Neung Do-myung.
“Su-Superintendent! Press it! Quickly!”
Neung Do-myung, who was shocked, came back to reality.
If this was the level of a monster who could take down a superior master in a second, then machine guns wouldn’t work on him.
There was no time to think about anything else.
Tak!
Biting his lip, he shook his head and placed his finger on the button.
‘Ahhh.’
Baek Jong-so closed his eyes in despair.
No matter how hard he tried, his end was coming.
“Damn it! Press it before he moves!”
The team leader screamed in fear.
In the end, the button was pressed.
It was then.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Small explosions were heard everywhere.
Some were heard near team leader Go and Neung Do-myung.
Baek Jong-so’s eyes fluttered.
‘Wh-What is this?’
Baek Jong-so was the one who was supposed to be killed, but he was standing there intact with a puzzled expression.
He couldn’t understand.
Drip!
Team leader Go’s head was bleeding, blood was dripping down from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
A faint trail of smoke was rising from it too.
“T-Team leader Go!”
Thud!
The body fell to the floor and trembled.
It wasn’t just him.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Mobile strikers on the first and second floors collapsed at random.
A total of twelve people fell.
“Ah-hyeon!”
“Yuk-cheong!”
The mobile strikers standing next to them grabbed them.
The men who monitored their conditions mumbled.
“Shit!”
“H-He is dead…”
They were not breathing.
Baek Jong-so turned his head and looked at Chun Yeowun.
Baek Jong-so was the one who was supposed to die.
“Wh-What is this…”
Before he could even finish, Neung Do-myung looked at both of them and shouted.
“What the hell did you do?!”
Chun Yeowun answered him as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“Good things should be shared. Isn’t that right?”
