Side Story Episode 105. Descendants of the Black Devil (5)
“Tsk!”
Sogong spat out fishy blood and sighed heavily.
“Damn it, how did it get to this point? “I’m really going to turn around.”
The tone was full of his unique cheerful personality, but there was no energy in his voice.
It was worth it. In the midst of significant internal and external injuries, even the internal air was blocked. It was fortunate that I didn’t suffer.
Sogong glanced to the side.
One of the fallen captains was breathing heavily.
The body trembles even though it is unconscious. His face was frowning and his complexion was pale.
“Hey, Captain Sa.”
Of course, no answer came back.
Nevertheless, Sogong shouted once more.
“Chief of Staff! Ranch bag!”
For a moment, the fallen man flinched.
But that was all. Your body may just be reacting to a familiar voice, and your consciousness will come and go.
‘Shit.’
Sogong looked around.
Only a little moonlight came into the dark prison cell. The smell was musty and the straw bales were infested with bugs.
Since it is a place where criminals are imprisoned in the first place, there is no reason to keep it clean. Still, it could be said that this was extremely humane compared to the worst prison in the Penal Code.
‘Even if it wasn’t humid.’
Sogong bit his lip as he looked at Mokjakbaek, who was shaking even more violently.
Bad environment, high humidity. A cold chill rises from the floor.
It was the worst situation for a sick person. Especially for patients who have suffered stab wounds all over their body and are unconscious.
‘I won’t be able to last much longer.’
Unless you use inner energy to drive out the poison and suture the wound, you are dead. The body of the demon belonging to the Dark Demon Corps has been honed to be resistant to a considerable amount of poison, but even if it were, it would be difficult to last more than five days.
‘Damn it, it’s my fault.’
Su Gong gritted his teeth and blamed himself.
It was said that the Noma from the squadron who escaped suffered fatal injuries that made it impossible for them to return to active duty.
However, the reason they were able to escape from the penal court was because of the help of the demons who were indebted to them.
In the end, all the demons who helped the old horses escape were beheaded, but the old horses were scattered and it was hard to know where they were hiding.
That was over thirty years ago.
It is said that even rivers and mountains can change in ten years. Thirty years was a time when Mine, who was judged to be unable to return to active duty, could have lost her life, or she could have gained strength and become stronger than before.
Of course, living a decent life would have been close to impossible. If the physical condition described in the report is true, recovery was absolutely impossible.
Absolutely impossible. Sogong knew very well that there are no absolutes in this world.
But what was the actual result?
If they had really considered the possibility of their return, they wouldn’t have been caught like this.
‘It’s a mistake. ‘I don’t need any excuses.’
Although I was born with one face, I lived as if I had two faces.
The fatigue from there was tremendous. I thought it was too much to handle, but I endured it without telling anyone due to my pride, and at a moment like this, I ended up making a fatal mistake.
It was all just an excuse, but it was painful all over again.
When Sogong silently blamed himself for a long time.
“Hwaam!”
A young man who had been sleeping well in a corner woke up stretching.
When Sogong turned his head to the young man, the young man licked his lips.
“Are you not sleeping?”
It was a very leisurely voice that did not suit the situation at all.
Sogong actually laughed at the young man’s tone.
“You have really good speed. “Can you sleep in this situation?”
“The moment you become a member of the Dark Demon Corps, you must think that you will die even tonight. “Only by living with that kind of heart can you be called a true dark magician or magician.”
“… … .”
“This is what the Great Lord said.”
“It did.”
“I have risked my life so far. “This is ridiculous.”
Sogong smiled bitterly.
“You are right. “Now I see that you are a true demon.”
The young man’s expression turned cold.
“If killing a demon is not justice, but is the same demon, then I will become a stronger demon than anyone else.”
“Is that so?”
“what… … “Before that.”
The young man chuckled.
“We should get out of here first.”
Sogong sighed.
“It’s absolutely pathetic.”
“I’m actually a weird guy.”
“Not you, me. Damn it, seeing the courage that comes from a guy who joined the Black Demon Corps less than a year ago, I’m not a person worthy of being above anyone else.”
“That guy who had been there for less than a year was promoted to team leader in half a year. “He is no ordinary genius.”
“Your self-praise is at the extreme level.”
“These are all words from the Great Lord.”

The two people chuckled.
Anyway, I felt energized by having a nonsensical conversation. It was crazy that I couldn’t overcome reality no matter how strong I was, but at least it was better than just bowing my head helplessly.
Sogong got up from his seat and approached Mokjakbaek.
His breathing became very rough. Su Gong’s complexion became clouded.
.“I thought I could somehow survive for five days, but that’s not true. “If things continue like this, it won’t be possible to last more than three days.”
“Is that so.”
The young man’s voice was calm. There didn’t seem to be any worries about the ranch bag.
Instead, he got up and started doing incomprehensible things, such as fumbling or tapping the wall.
Su Gong frowned.
“What are you doing?”
The young man answered without turning around.
“To see which one is the weakest. Ah, here it is.”
thud. thud.
When I hit the wall with my fist, the sound was definitely different.
“Hmm.”
The young man put his ear to the wall and closed his eyes.
Su Gong did not disturb him for no reason. Whatever the reason, that guy was a genius among geniuses.
I heard from Doheon that Lee Cheon-sang’s achievements were beyond imagination. If a guy who had clearly never learned a single martial art became a footnote in the Yaksha Four Spirits in less than a year, it could be said that he had the talent to discuss the past and present.
However, if we put it that way, the young man, Yu Isang, the leader of the three, was even more amazing.
Lee Cheon-sang had at least half a pill of Command Dan and learned advanced magic skills, but Yu I-sang had none of that. Of course, he had been practicing martial arts to some extent since he was captured, but he was not a magician either.
Without anyone’s help, he learned the magic techniques of the black horse and became a leader in half a year with all the martial arts techniques in his body. Even though a youngster who was only half a year old became the team leader, none of the team members raised any objection.
In Sogong’s opinion, Yu Yi-sang was a genius even greater than Lee Cheon-sang.
To be more specific, he was a natural genius at learning magical arts.
However, it was not only his magic skills that were outstanding. Since I was born with a monstrous talent in so many different fields, it seemed like if I cultivated it well, I could become a top expert in a short period of time.
Looking at Yu Yi-sang, Sogong made a decision.
‘Even if I die, I have to keep that guy alive.’
Yu Isang was not simply the leader of the Black Devils.
Just as Do-heon had Lee Cheon-sang, Sogong had Yu I-sang.
I had already introduced Yu Isang to my superiors. He was clearly a talented person who would do great things, so I could never let him die.
“That’s it.”
“hmm? what?”
Yu Isang took a step back and pointed to the wall.
“It’s only half as thick as other places. It went all the way from below to the ceiling. “I think it was designed in a way that you can climb up by stepping on it like a ladder from the outside.”
Sogong’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it like a spire?”
“I guess so.”
“… … “It’s strange.”
“That’s right.”
Yu Isang glanced at the window.
A window that lets in moonlight. It wasn’t even small in size. The environment was not good, but usually the prison cells had no windows at all or were made as small as the size of the palm of one’s hand.
Because it was tightly surrounded by iron bars, it was impossible to break or bend it with bare hands without internal strength, but in many ways, it could be said to be a humane prison.
“In any case, it is impossible for us to escape from here, as even our inner space has been blocked. “The thickness of the wall you mentioned is thin, but even if it is thin, it is not so thick that you can break it with your bare fists.”
“Of course.”
Yuisang crossed his arms.
“I have one question.”
“What?”
“Why did they seal our inner strength?”
“ok? “Then just leave it alone?”
“I understand if you are thinking that there is something you can use by keeping us alive, or that if a fight against the Protestants breaks out, they will use us as a hostage situation, or something like that. However, why did they just seal it for the purpose of abolishing the Danjeon or not?”
Sogong laughed bitterly.
“Where can the mine that was destroyed by Danjeon be used? “Even if you try to hold them hostage, their value as a hostage is gone.”
“Then it’s no longer weird?”
“hmm?”
“Honestly, do hostages even work for the Heavenly Demon Church?”
“… … ?!”
“It was strange from the moment I was first caught. The Heavenly Demon Church never negotiates over hostages. I would rather just kill all the hostages. Even more so… … .”
Yu Yi-sang’s eyes turned cold.
“This is especially true if it is the Heavenly Demon Church ruled by the current religious leader.”
“Yui-san.”
A stern look appeared on Sogong’s face.
“Watch your mouth.”
“… … All right.”
Yu Isang cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“Anyway, this is strange. “Coming from common sense, there is no reason to keep us locked up.”
“But does it matter now?”
“It’s important.”
Yu Isang clenched his fists.
“Knowing that will give you a sense of what kind of judgment you should make when destroying this place.”
Su Gong frowned.
“You’re going to break it and leave?”
“yes.”
“how?”
“By force.”
“Have you trained yourself to the point where you can destroy a pile of bricks with your bare fists? “Without me knowing?”
“It can’t be. You have to break it with your own strength. Of course, once I return to school safely, I plan to start working on making a stone fist.”
“The inner air has been blocked, right?”
It was then.
Pusss.
Su Gong’s eyes widened. This is because he felt the familiar black spirit energy in Yu Yi-sang’s hands.
Although it wasn’t a very large amount, it was definitely dark spirit magic.
“you… … how?”
“The secret martial art of my home family that I practiced before learning the Black Spirit Demonic Gong is the Ihyeolgangshin Gong.”
When this Hyeolgangshingong reaches its extreme, it can not only open and close the acupuncture channels arbitrarily, but even change the position of the acupuncture channels.
Although it is not possible to train a strong internal force that can be used in martial arts, as the name suggests, the martial arts that can extract all kinds of turbid energy by moving and opening and closing the acupuncture points was Leehyeolgangshingong.
“But that martial arts… … They say you can’t learn it like magic? “Did you really fool me?”
“Is that possible? “This blood and strong magic cannot be learned together with magic.”
“however?!”
“If we can’t learn together, we have to make it possible for them to learn together.”
“… … ?!”
“I created something called Isan Gong (移山功) based on the basic techniques of Shingyo, the medical techniques of my family, and the composition of Ihyeolgang Shingong. We are trying to induce an explosion of true energy through strong compression of the moved acupuncture points… … “It’s not perfect yet, but it helps in times like this.”
Sogong opened his mouth wide.
Yuisang chuckled and sat down.
“After about half a day, all your skills will be resolved. Until then, shall we find the answer as to why those damn old men held us captive?”
