Side Story Episode 92. Gate of Desire (4)
“Oh, Lord Tao.”
Gongmuoe smiled and welcomed Doheon.
“Hehe, it’s hard to see your face these days.”
Doheon bowed his head.
“sorry. “I have achieved some martial arts achievements recently, so I am working hard.”
“Uh huh, really?”
A demonic energy momentarily flashed through the official’s eyes. The purpose was to examine Doheon’s prayer, which did not appear to have changed significantly on the outside.
“… … ?!”
At that moment, the official’s eyes widened.
What Doheon said was true.
Even in the past, Doheon’s prayers were outstanding. Even among the great masters of the New Education University, his demonic energy was as well-polished as a beautifully refined sword.
But right now, I couldn’t really feel Doheon’s magical energy. The novel itself has become deeper than before.
I could tell that I had literally reached my limit. Outside of official duties, I was honestly impressed.
“That’s amazing. “It doesn’t seem like I’ve learned any new magic skills, but now it’s hard for me to fully read your prayers even with my own eyes.”
“I owe a lot to the command you gave me in the past. Thank you.”
Gongmuoe burst out laughing.
“Would it be worth it to receive such a greeting from you with just one piece of command? “We will be together until the end.”
Doheon laughed to himself.
‘Do you even know where the end I have decided is?’
Contrary to his intentions, the words flowed smoothly.
“Isn’t this an elixir that every demon of our school would want to obtain even in his dreams? Thanks to you, I have grown so much, so I will work hard to live up to your expectations.”
“Hehe, that’s him.”
Gongmuoe stood up smiling at the flattery that felt so natural.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, shall we have a drink?”
“great. But before that… … .”
“As expected, I have a favor to ask you, right?”
“sorry. “It’s something I can’t just ignore.”
“Hey man, what do you have to be sorry for? If it is beyond your power, I will step in, and if it is difficult for me to step in, you will step in. Aren’t we like that? haha!”
Doheon bowed his head.
Gongmuoe tapped Doheon’s shoulder and said.
“Tell me. Let’s just deal with it quickly and take the blame.”
“All right.”
Doheon took out a letter from his pocket and delivered it to Gongmuoe.
“What is this?”
“This is a message from Yacha Command.”
Gongmuoe frowned and opened the letter.
“You came from headquarters? How can you tell it to me right away? … .”
His eyes, which were looking at the letter in puzzlement, suddenly wavered greatly.
Doheon cautiously opened his mouth.
“If nothing had happened, I would have contacted the head of the family straight away. However, because they believed that there would definitely be people watching over the head of the family, they wanted to convey it through me.”
“It’s two thousand prizes.”
“That’s right.”
“Lee Cheon-sang sent it, but in the end, we have to think that Yang Baek-ho also knows all of this.”
“of course. “The entire unit is on standby near Guangdong.”
“… … Hmm.”
Outside of official duties, his face became serious.
“He’s a light-blooded god demon.”
Doheon, who was quietly attending to his official duties, asked cautiously.
“You said the other day that you were going to grab the rope. “I won’t wait any longer.”
“It did.”
“Are you, by any chance, the old man of the Light-Blooded God Demon?”
Gongmuoe shook his head.
“No.”
“okay.”
“I said it before, but don’t be too sad. “The reason I haven’t revealed to you the identity of the person I lined up yet is because I’m not sure I’ve completely gotten under his wing.”
“I understand.”
“but… … I think it’s okay to tell you now. Well, I guess you guessed it too.”
Outside of official duties, I had an appetite.
“The person I reached out to is the White Bone God Demon.”
Doheon’s eyes widened.
White Bone God Demon.
Among the Teenage Demon Lords, he is the oldest and most senior along with the Bloody God Demon Baekheon.
The military power he possessed was also truly enormous, so much so that before Cao Baitian ascended to the throne, he was called the Four Demon Emperors along with the Great Power God Demon.
Among them, the Demon of Great Power was expelled after falling out of favor with the leader of the cult, Cao Baitian. Excluding the cult leader, only two of the Sima Emperors remained in active service.
A neutral elder who chose to just wait and see in the political world that became chaotic after the death of the previous religious leader… … . Who would have guessed that it was he who lined up outside of official duties.
“Are you the White Bone God Demon?”
“Hmm, I guess you didn’t guess.”

“That’s right. To be honest, I’m an old man with blood and blood… … Otherwise, I thought I was giving the rope to the great demon of the blood sword.”
Gongmuoe smiled.
“Don’t be afraid of blood… … After all, he is a person who is talented, greedy, and takes good care of those under him.”
“yes.”
“But not him.”
“Why is that so?”
“Look, Tao. “There is one thing you must keep in mind in order to move up.”
“Please speak.”
“Look at those who excel at one advantage rather than those who have everything in moderation.”
“Why?”
“A person who has everything in moderation should be below me, not above me. If you have a person like that at the head, he gets tired. Even when you step on it in the future, you have to go through a very cumbersome process. “Mostly yes.”
Doheon listened with open ears to anything other than official business.
Outside of public service, there will be many things you have learned through first-hand experience while working in this political arena. He is a person who does not want to be sick, but in order to change his religion, he must be able to learn from this person’s enlightenment.
“Especially now, the nature and location of the Blood Demon can be seen as dangerous. As a teenage devil, no one should stand out. “If he shows even this little sign that he can challenge the throne, the religious leader will not forgive him.”
“ah!”
“The Great Blood Demon has a reputation. It would be better if all the believers followed him, but he is ambiguous at this point. “Sooner or later, the leader will either kick him out himself or manipulate other demon lords to relieve him of his power.”
Clearly, our perspectives on this matter were different. In the eyes of Doheon, who was a swordsman to the core, Hyeoldo Daema seemed to be someone he could trust and rely on among the Ten Demon Lords.
But after hearing about it outside of official duties, I thought it was definitely worth it.
If you accuse someone of being trustworthy, you could be purged along with them. It was a good lesson.
“by the way.”
Outside of official duties, his face became strange.
“This person, Yang Baek-ho, has become quite active.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it true that you found out that the owner of the Goma Merchants is paying bribes to the old Blood God Demon? “Regardless of whether he tortured or did something else, it can also be seen as an intention to keep an eye on what is going on at the school.”
Doheon shook his head.
“The owner of the Homa Sangdan may have said it first.”
“Why do you think that?”
“If you have been kind to the old man with blood, you can be seen as knowing more about our school than others. “If, by chance, a mad-blooded old man catches him and throws him away, he won’t be able to return alive, right?”
“aha? So what you’re saying is that you went crazy to escape the situation of being held captive?”
“There are tons of guys like that when you go out on operations.”
As he spoke, Doheon felt a deep sense of disgust towards the light-blooded demon.
‘Even though I’m crazy, I’m still crazy.’
There are degrees of accepting bribes. You probably don’t know that there is nothing more scary than blind money, but doesn’t this mean that they continuously received money from the owner of the top, who was found to be in collaboration with political factions?
It is said that Shingyo’s confidential information could have been passed on to a single merchant. It may not be possible, but they were building such a dangerous relationship.
‘How on earth is this school going?’
A sigh came out of my mouth.
He may or may not have known Doheon’s feelings, but he stroked his chin as if he found things outside of official duties interesting.
“This is new again. Definitely one has to roll around here and there. “I, who have only been involved in politics, cannot think like you.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Anyway, he’s a bright-blooded old man… … .”
Gongmuoe frowned.
“It’s an issue that can’t just be ignored.”
“What would you like to do?”
“What? We need to get you back to school safely. Although it is rough, Yangbaekho is a good knife. It’s a shame to give up like this. “You haven’t even been able to properly pull it out and eat it yet.”
“Of course.”
“Besides, there’s Lee Cheon-sang there too. “I also got help from that guy, and I can’t pretend not to know.”
Gongmuoe stood up from his seat.
“I need to see the old man with white bones. “Would you like to go with us?”
Doheon’s eyes wavered.
“Me too?”
“Haha, who else would I be with if not someone so trustworthy? “Let’s take this opportunity to get some points from the old man, and let’s go together and discuss this issue.”
What is coming has come.
Doheon got up and bowed his head.
“It is an honour.”
* * *
Six days have passed since the Yacha Commandery camped near Nankun Mountain in Guangdong.
“Have I heard from you yet?”
“That’s right. It’s been six days, so I expect it to arrive soon.”
“hmm.”
Yang Baekho nodded and looked around at his subordinates.
Even though it was not far from the headquarters, no one relaxed. Even while taking a break, it was great to see their eyes alert to their surroundings.
Yang Baek-ho smiled.
It was a smile mixed with bitterness and pride.
“With this one mission, the yakshas have become one.”
“… … .”
“Cases like this are rare. In an instant, demons with different personalities went from a ragtag group to an army. “I’m glad you followed along.”
“Is that so.”
Yang Baek-ho looked at Lee Cheon-sang and asked.
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s no different than usual.”
“… … okay?”
“yes.”
Lee Cheon-sang looks at the yakshas with an expressionless face.
Just looking at his thick yet sharp jawline and slightly languidly sunken eyes, it was enough to say that he was a very stubborn guy.
However, because his facial expression lacks the emotions that a human being should have, it does not give the impression that he is particularly stubborn when viewed as a whole.
Yang Baek-ho, who was quietly looking at Lee Cheon-sang, took a deep breath and said.
“It was amazing.”
“… … ?”
“The skill of leading only half of the remaining members of the unit. Whether you were leading one hundred and fifty people or seventy people, you and the yakshas did not have any flaws in your movements. “Both the person giving the order and the person receiving the order go about their mission without getting excited.”
“Because I trained in preparation for death in battle.”
“That’s right.”
It wasn’t something that was possible even with training.
Yang Baek-ho’s eyes deepened.
He was thinking back to the red demonic energy that had bloomed from Lee Cheon-sang’s body a while ago.
‘It was a magic power beyond imagination. If you look at the quality of the demonic energy, it was better than mine, and it was worthy of targeting extreme demons.’
Of course, not everyone with a high quality of magic energy can reach extreme magic. In the first place, he wasn’t even a real ultimate demon.
However, this guy was definitely extraordinary. It was extraordinary and mysterious.
‘That’s why it’s dangerous.’
I’ve found Lee Cheon-sang’s existence fascinating, but this was the first time I’ve truly thought it was dangerous.
‘What on earth is it? Where did that demon energy come from?’
Since then, that strange blood-red magic energy has never been revealed. I checked my prayers thoroughly to see if anything, but my entire body was filled with the usual heavy and solemn golden magic energy.
‘I guess I’ll have to go back to school and find out separately.’
Yang Baek-ho looked at the sun. She had reached the tip of Seosan.
“Well, when will it come?”
“coming.”
“hmm?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked to the right. Yang Baek-ho also followed his gaze and turned his head to the right.
After a while.
‘… … !!’
It’s true. A stealthy and rapid movement, the informant was approaching.
The informant who appeared shortly afterwards knelt in front of Yang Baek-ho.
“I see you, Lord. “I brought you a letter.”
“hmm.”
Yang Baek-ho, who received and read the letter, shouted to the yakshas:
“Everyone ready to move! “We will reach the headquarters within one hour!”
“Jonmyeong!”
The Yasha Command finally completed its long mission and headed to Shingyo.
Yang Baek-ho, who was running in the lead, had calm eyes.
