Side Story Episode 138. Shadow of the Giant (5)
The White Bone God Demon smiled.
“Today is such a fun day.”
“… … .”
“Honestly, I thought I would take my time with my youthful energy. “Isn’t it even more bloodthirsty to step down when you show your position right in front of your nose?”
“… … .”
“I was surprised that it came sooner than expected. I’ve been thinking about it, how will this guy turn the conversation around? “I was a little embarrassed, so I thought I would take some time by talking about this and that, and then when I wanted to get to the point, I would just say that I came to get a knife.”
“Is that so.”
“You go far beyond my expectations.”
“… … .”
“Speaking of which, I must confess that when I first saw you, I was really wondering whether this guy knew emotions or not.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
The White Bone God Demon shrugged his shoulders.
“Even though it was only about a year since I entered martial arts, I became the master of the Yaksha spirit, right?”
“That’s right.”
“I couldn’t believe it. It’s hard for anyone to believe. “I heard that the three men from the Black Demon Squadron I saw at that time were similar, so I was annoyed because I thought they were playing together.”
“… … .”
“In other words, both your talent and personality are in a category beyond my imagination.”
Pausing for a moment, the White Bone God Demon carefully examined Li Cheon-sang.
When looking at the other person, you don’t blink even once. It’s not a metaphor, it’s actually true.
Some people consider it rude to make direct eye contact when talking to superiors. On the other hand, there are also those who believe that if you do not make eye contact, you are not in a conversational position.
However, any person will be overcome by a strange feeling if the other person stares at them without even blinking.
Eyes that naturally put pressure on you.
Those eyes, which were even more scary because they had no intention, really stimulated my interest.
“It may seem like your emotions are worn out, but no one really has emotions. That’s the reason why I put my blood in my mouth. “Old people have their own pride, and young people have their own pride.”
“… … .”
“But seeing that you’ve organized everything like this, you are definitely different from other young people.”
Lee Cheon-sang still said nothing.
The other person was evaluating himself. There is nothing else to say to such a person. I just waited for him to finish speaking.
That part made the White Bone God Demon smile once again.
“You came to get a knife?”
“That’s right.”
“I’ve already told you what that means, so you understand, right?”
“I know about that too.”
“Ohh?”
“And that had no meaning whatsoever to my choice.”
“There was no meaning?”
“As someone who has subordinates, I cannot accept bribes or anything like that. That was my opinion. “What happened after receiving the knife was not a consideration in the first place.”
The White Bone God Demon’s smile deepened.
“now?”
“I understood that I was out of sync.”
I am not sure, nor am I enlightened.
‘Understand.’
It’s not the feeling of knowing something you didn’t know. It meant that I realized that the parts I knew about, but had ignored without realizing it, were also part of who I was.
The White Bone Demon raised his hand.
No matter where I was watching, Shibi quickly approached me.
“Bring me a bottle of alcohol.”
“yes.”
After a while.
The White Bone God Demon, who placed the cup on the checkerboard, lifted the bottle.
“Take a drink.”
“it’s okay.”
“why? “Are you afraid I might have been poisoned?”
“That could be true.”
The White Bone God Demon stiffened his expression.
“I have no such base hobby as harassing the weak with poison when I can destroy them with a single wave of my hand.”
“But I won’t drink it.”
The White Bone God Demon, who was quietly glaring at Li Cheon-sang, smiled again and filled his cup.
“It’s the basics.”
The White Bone God Demon that filled the cup emptied it as is.
“Pour a drink.”
Lee Cheon-sang filled his cup.
It was a somewhat awkward hand movement. It was because I had never been polite enough to pour drinks for my superiors.
The White Bone God Demon drank the liquor that Lee Cheon-sang poured for him twice in a row.
After drinking three glasses of wine, the White Bone God Demon asked lightly.
“How is Sangcheon doing?”
It was a very grave voice.
I didn’t feel any affection or concern for my grandchild. Could it be said that this is a statement meant to open the door before getting into the main topic?

“I’m doing well.”
“This guy’s Goruma-gong must have low achievements.”
“I do my part.”
“Then that’s a good thing.”
The White Bone Demon’s eyes deepened.
“Did your grandson tell you anything about me?”
“there is.”
“If it’s okay, I’ll listen.”
“They said he was a dangerous person.”
“Dangerous… … . “Is that all?”
“That’s right.”
There were a lot of arguments, but in the end, my grandfather was dangerous, so I shouldn’t have anything to do with him.
The corners of the White Bone God Demon’s mouth rose.
“Is the reason you come to that dangerous person and accept the sword to help you understand your own inadequacy and soar to a higher place?”
“That’s right.”
“Where is the high place you see? “Is it a religious order?”
He talks about the religious leadership without any hesitation.
Lee Cheon-sang had only learned martial arts for a year. Although he was born with genius talent, his Protestant life lasted only one year.
To mention the church leadership to such a person, he was truly an unpredictable person.
Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.
“I do not know.”
“You haven’t even decided on the exact location.”
“I think this is enough. All you have to do is get up to that line. And right now, I don’t know where that line is.”
“Then you are the religious leader after all.”
It was such a leisurely conversation that anyone who heard it would think they were just chatting.
“Limited to the Demonic Murim, there is nothing that cannot be done to the sect leader. No matter what the aftermath is, everyone will acknowledge it. “There are many powerful people in one way or another, but the power structure of this Church of the Heavenly Demon is concentrated in one place to the point where it collapses with just one breath from the religious leader.”
“It’s also a problem I can’t understand unless I experience it.”
“is it?”
A slight disappointment appeared on the White Bone God Demon’s face.
“but.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s touching, rising prayer was only a short moment, but it was reminiscent of a yellowish thunderbolt.
“If you think there is a limit to where you can reach, then you can even aim for the Gyojuwiwi.”
“… … !”
A glint appeared in the White Bone God Demon’s eyes.
The mere mention of ‘Gyojuwi’ is a word that can make a son-in-law nervous. If this kind of conversation were to take place right now, everyone present could be beheaded.
This young guy probably doesn’t know that. He said that he was still able to look around the school with confidence.
Even if the words are the same, there is a difference between heaven and earth between a member of the Ten Demon Lords and an elder who had been on the front lines with the cult leader and a member of the Outer Castle Combat Unit.
“Do you think we can aim at the church’s perimeter?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you think you have that level of ability and talent?”
“No bird asks flowing water whether it can reach the sea.”
The water is itself, and the flying bird is the White Bone God.
It was an exquisite metaphor.
We do not know the importance of water when it is overflowing, and that is the case with current Shinyo religion. However, since it is the sea that actually contains water, the bridge can be said to be the sea.
It is the elders who fly over the sea to find food and enjoy freedom, but they can never go into the sea. Because if you go in, you die.
They are freer than anyone else, but they cannot be more than that. They are the current teenage demon kings.
On the contrary, infinitely small drops gather together to form a flowing river.
When the drought is severe and the rivers dry up, the people who evaporate in vain are also the demonic people. However, the last drop that can somehow reach the sea is also mine.
Anyone can become a religious leader. However, he is not a teenage devil.
All we have to do is wait and see how fate will shape the flow of history. Because you are that kind of being anyway.
The White Bone God Demon, who had been looking directly at Lee Cheon-sang for a while, spoke in a lower voice.
“He was an immature genius who couldn’t even find himself. Even though he had the potential, I thought he wouldn’t be able to last three years, so I played around with him to get him to come to his senses.”
“… … .”
“Now that I see it, I see that it is not a wooden doll full of talent, but an ambitious person who does not care about talent.”
“I don’t care what you think of me.”
The White Bone Demon smiled.
It was a satisfying smile that had never been shown before.
“The word ‘gyojuwi’ cannot be said carelessly. “It doesn’t matter here, but be careful what you say elsewhere.”
“All right.”
“Well, that’s what I said, but that doesn’t mean I’m safe. “It’s just a word you say out of pride or at the risk of your life in front of young people like you who don’t know much about our school.”
The White Bone God Demon extended his hand toward the main building beyond the pavilion.
At that moment, Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes flashed.
‘A waste of time.’
I could feel the invisible flow of magical energy in the old, grayish hands of the White Bone God Demon.
It is not visible, nor is it rich or solid. It seemed as if dozens of transparent threads were wriggling and moving towards the window.
However, each strand of that thread was full of ferocious force, as if it could cut through rocks and tear the river water apart. Those who don’t know it won’t be able to feel it, but once they feel it, they will know how high-dimensional the White Bone God Demon’s magical energy has reached.
But strangely enough.
Lee Cheon-sang could not contain more wonder than surprise at the magic power of the White Bone God Demon.
‘amazing.’
It was a miracle that had reached a tremendous level. It was an extremely high-density magical energy that I couldn’t reach even if I struggled.
But that density and that depth were somehow familiar.
It’s as if I’ve been living with that level of energy since the moment I was born.
Lee Cheon-sang felt strangely comfortable with the power of the White Bone God Demon, who possessed a level of magical power that was even greater than that of the Great Power God Demon.
Phew.
A sword flew through the window and was caught in the hand of the White Bone God Demon.
It was a knife wrapped in pure white cloth. The reason I thought it was a sword and not a sword was because the gentle curves characteristic of a sword were visible under the tightly wrapped cloth.
The sword body is wider than that of Hyeolpungdo. Because the length was similar, it felt shorter and sturdier.
The White Bone God Demon handed the sword to Lee Cheon-sang.
“Would you like to solve it?”
Lee Cheon-sang received the sword with both hands.
It was then.
Woooo!!
As soon as my hand touched the fabric, I felt an unknown energy seeping into my hand.
It wasn’t really penetration, but it felt that way. I could immediately tell that it was an unusual knife.
Lee Cheon-sang unwrapped the white cloth.
And the appearance that is revealed.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes shook slightly.
“I told you before, right? “A knife made with all his might by someone who does not have the skills to make a new weapon, and a knife made leisurely by someone who has the skill to make a new weapon, may look similar on the outside, but they are completely different weapons.”
“… … .”
“That sword is the first magic sword made by a master who was once called the best in the world after taking a three-year break to reflect on himself.”
It was a truly bloody and grotesque sword, to which the word Mado fits perfectly.
This was especially true of the round dohwan with skull patterns engraved on both sides. It looked as if it had been made by attaching the front of a skull cut from above.
The sword ring, blade, and blade of the double-sided skull are all a cloudy milky color.
A haunted sword that exudes an ominous energy as if it were made from real human remains.
“Yokgyejamun Baekgolgwimado (欲界子紋白骨歸魔刀). “That is the sword commonly called the White Bone Demon Sword.”
