Episode 19 of The Chronicles of Darkness
reason
Sponheim XI, Emperor of the Hüffel Empire, blinked his bloodshot eyes as numerous shells exploded followed by earth-shaking gunfire.
‘this guy! Do you like Jim’s hospitality? ‘Jim, pay the price for looking down on humans!’
Even if the opponent is really the Grand Duke of Darkness, doesn’t he have a physical body? Artillery pieces were drawn from all over the empire for this very day. It was impossible to avoid the rain of shells they spewed out.
‘Hurry and shoot! Continue until your bones and flesh are torn to shreds and turned into black ashes!’
At that moment, the gunfire stopped.
The angry emperor sent a messenger to urge them to shoot without stopping, but an explosion sound so loud that it felt refreshing was heard.
And at a location much closer than where the shell exploded.
Quaaaang!
People’s desperate screams and shouts followed.
“Ugh! He is truly the Grand Duke of Darkness! “They stopped and dropped so many shells that they even shattered the castle gate!”
“Don’t be upset! Stop the enemy quickly!”
“crazy! What can we do with that demon king who spews out terrifying flames… … Ugh.”
“Anyone who disobeys will be summarily disposed of like this guy! We are the great Hüffel Empire! If you do as you prepared, you have a good chance of winning!”
“Excuse me, I’ll be passing by for a moment.”
With clear voices, the commotion grew louder and the soldiers began shouting.
“Ah, the Grand Duke of Darkness threw the gate guard commander into the sky!”
“Ugh. Everyone run away! If this continues, everyone will die!”
The emperor, who was listening with gritted teeth in the conference room, exploded.
Speaking of running away, how much have you gathered from the humble things and clothed and fed them so far? Who can do it as they please?
I ran to the window, looked out, and was about to yell, when the clear voice from before rang out clearly.
“It’s good that everyone is running away, but you have to be careful. Zhao, what are you doing?”
The emperor opened his eyes wide.
The owner of that voice was a demon god whose voice was as black and blazing as the flames of hell that I heard so hard to hear.
To the demon’s words, an ethnic man who seemed so ordinary that it felt foreign politely responded.
The man was carrying on his back the magical sword Bluut Prasenda Daimon of Battenberg, which was familiar to the emperor.
“I was just about to do it, Danju. Everyone listen! I hope you can understand my lack of common language skills! We won’t catch anyone going, so stand in line and move in an orderly manner! What if we fight to get there first and get seriously hurt? I don’t plan on giving you peace of mind and then attacking you! This person never lies! Trust and follow!”
“… … !”
The hall, which had been in chaos with soldiers running, rolling, and stepping on people in fear, calmed down.
The soldiers walked with secret glances.
As the ordinary foreigners said, there were many rumors that the Grand Duke of Darkness was not lying, and I don’t know if it was just a rumor, but didn’t he come like this just as he warned the dragon conquering army?
“These guys are real!”
The commanders who saw this became angry and tried to punish them, but before they could achieve their goal, their heads were cut off and they fell to the ground one by one.
An ordinary foreigner who wandered through the Hühfel army like a ghost and killed the commanders guided them again.
“ruler! Just go that slowly! Rest assured, I will continue to deal with your main enemies! for a moment! There are too many people in the direction of the east gate! “The south and west gates look spacious, so I recommend them!”
The soldiers followed without a word.
Some even awkwardly expressed gratitude to the foreigners who killed the commanders.
When the situation reached this point, the emperor was so angry that he tried to scream, but held back.
Not only did he not want to attract the attention of the demon god, but there were also people who wanted to pay for the meal.
The knights directly under the emperor, fully armed, appeared riding armored war horses and showed their fighting spirit.
The Marquis of Rejinard, commander of the Knights of Abelard, stood at the head of the group, lowering the colorful face shield attached to his silver helmet and shouting majestically.
“For the honor of His Majesty the Emperor! Defeat the demon king who invaded Inse for the glory of the Hüffel Empire! Everyone cover your ears and charge!”
The knights immediately raised their mana, protected their ears, and kicked the horse’s stomach with their heels.
The warhorses, whose ears had already been tightly blocked with cotton balls, were afraid of the demon spirit that shimmered darker than a night without stars or the moon, but they could not go against the consciousness that had been tamed through training and began to gallop.
Doo doo doo doo-
The ground throbbed vigorously, excited by the cavalry charge.
The Demon God was satisfied as he looked around at the knights who were washing over him like a strong wave.
“You did some preparation. “Last time I was busy so I took the quick route, but this time there’s no reason to do that.”
As soon as the words were out, the demon moved.
Instead of retreating or dodging, he countered with a single-demon charge.
The goal is to repay romance with romance.
Black flames flew, swallowing up the sunlight, and attempted to attack Commander Abelard, who was riding at the head.
Knight Commander Abelard, whose vision was instantly stained with darkness, gritted his teeth and lowered the lance he was holding.
‘You’re so proud that you killed Battenberg!’
He acknowledged that Battenberg was strong enough to be called the best sword on the continent, but he did not think it was significantly different from him.
Moreover, I couldn’t accept the fact that he even took the title of the best knight in the world.
‘I am superior in horseback riding and horse spearing!’
He pulled up all the mana he had accumulated through Gerhardt, the family’s vision mana management company, and put it into the lance. And he threw his entire weight and strength, as well as the speed and power of the horse’s charge, onto the lance.
A lance emitting a blue light cut through the thick darkness and attempted to pierce the demon’s chest.
‘I won, heap!’
The demon’s outstretched fist not only burned the sharp spear blade made of adamantium, the strong spear pole, and the strong hands, arms, and shoulders of the knight commander who was clutching it, but also destroyed his entire body wearing full plate armor.
Grrrrrr-
Starting with his disappearance, a path was created in the middle of the knights who were charging in line with Oh.
It was a path of death that burned not only flesh and blood, but also bone fragments and weapons.
The Demon God stopped at the end of the road and looked up.
At a window on a high floor, an old man with so many wrinkles that he was almost scary was looking down at his saggy face.
The demon made eye contact with him and smiled.

“You can tell just by looking at the outfit. Long live long live long live. “I meet your Majesty the Emperor, ruler of the great Hüffel Empire.”
King Sponheim 11 ignored the stomach-churning greeting and gave orders in a loud voice to the knights who passed by the Demon God.
“What are you doing? Quickly turn and hit the enemy!”
Unfortunately for him, it was an impossible order.
The war horses, in extreme fear, escaped from the knights’ control and ran wild, and the knights’ morale was so low that they were on the verge of going all the way to hell.
“How dare these guys! Ignoring my orders now… … .”
“Your Majesty, please fix it.”
The demon spirit fluttering around in the black flames disappeared and his true face was revealed, giving advice with a worried look on his face.
“What if he dies because he can’t stand his tantrums? “It’s not worth it for me to come here.”
“Such a foolish thing to Jim!”
“You need to be careful, but you keep saying that. Zhao, I will go up and give some attention, so please guide the remaining people out of the palace.”
“Please just leave it to me.”
The young man jumped lightly and landed on the window.
The emperor quickly stepped back and pointed a finger at the young man.
“He came up! Hit it quickly and drop it!”
The young man tilted his head.
“Who are you talking to? Could it be me?”
“noisy! Why is everyone quiet? Hurry up and kill that guy… … .”
The emperor looked back and shouted loudly before trailing off.
None of the nobles and ministers who filled the conference room were visible.
Before we knew it, everyone had run away.
“… … under. haha. Hahahaha. “After all, they are just food bugs.”
“You probably didn’t feed him properly.”
“What more can you say?”
“Just by listening to what you say, I can tell that you are small. But why did you do that to me? “Very bravely.”
The emperor’s bloodshot eyes became even redder.
“If I had known that you were the Grand Duke of Darkness, I would not have given such an order.”
“He was weak to strong opponents and strong to weak opponents.”
“different.”
The emperor’s voice was filled with clear conviction.
“It is about recognizing the strong as the strong. The strong deserve to be treated accordingly. But why are you like that? “If Jim had made a mistake, he could have just received compensation and ended it, so why use that as an excuse to help someone like Balbu?”
“The helping was over a long time ago. “Unlike some people, I paid for my food properly.”
Jeong Gwang’s eyes were round.
“The reason I came here is to ask the owner about the dog’s fault. In fact, His Majesty gave instructions to the duke, so His Majesty’s responsibility is greater.”
“You too must respect Jim…” … .”
“Sure. “I will serve you with the utmost care.”
Jeong Gwang respected the emperor and displayed his skill. The bloody scream that the emperor endured and let out shook the imperial palace.
“Lord, kill me! Just kill it! “Hehehehe.”
“No. You should live a long life, if not longer. “Don’t you think it’s a waste of what you’ve worked so far?”
“Ahhhh! “Just kill me!”
The Emperor took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“omg. omg. Just ask this. What about dragons? Did you kill him?”
“no. “Because we are good friends.”
“I ended up outliving Jim. “It’s just a shame, but I have no regrets.”
“lie.”
Jeong Gwang sighed and laughed.
“Why does that person look like that?”
“What do you think of Jim’s face?”
“I don’t want to talk about it or even look at it. “I’ll make you look a little better.”
Jeong Gwang plunged his fist into the emperor’s face, which was distorted with all sorts of desires tangled together.
Pow!
The emperor’s face disappeared completely.
‘Not just a little, but a lot better.’
Jeong Gwang stretched and yawned, thinking that he had finished all his work. Then he remembered a person who had no regrets even when he was on the verge of death.
It was the modern-day Unhu of thought.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s time to go again.’
Jeong Gwang shook his head and then smiled.
‘It’s really time for me to go too.’
* * *
“Hehehe. I feel strangely excited, perhaps because the weather is so nice. The events of that time became blurred. “I feel like I’m finally living a little better.”
“Is that the case for you too? So do I. “It all happened a long time ago, so forget it and live in peace.”
“Kkkkkkkkkk. Ah, that’s right. “I don’t have much time left in my life, so I can’t continue to be stuck in the past, right?”
A middle-aged man hurriedly ran towards the two old people who were smiling happily.
“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”
“What are you doing this for?”
“Well, that is…” … .”
One perfectly sunny day, a storm raged through the heads and hearts of the people of Xinjiang.
It was a huge disaster in which the Heavenly God returned after 20 years with a talkative servant.
The old people who had been talking like sages who had mastered life just a little while ago were tearing out the few hairs left on their heads and screaming.
“Nooooo!”
“The world has fallen into a ricochet again!”
The Heavenly God’s movements were fast.
The rumor that he had reappeared burned like wildfire, and before it could spread throughout Xinjiang, he went up to the altar and stood in front of the religious leader.
“Supremacy, are you here?”
“Yeah, how have you been?”
Dan Ga-hwi, who had gone from being a swordsman called the Pokyang Demon Sword to a grey-haired old man, answered politely.
“That’s right. As you commanded, I have carried out my intentions by cooperating with the military when it is time to cooperate and keeping them in check when it is time to keep them in check. We are also seriously looking to become the next generation of Seomrang.”
“Okay, I’m doing great. “Did the returnee go away in peace?”
“I told you to tell them to come as slowly as possible because they will not wait for the Supreme Being.”
“He still hasn’t come to his senses. Do you think I will go quickly like that? “Maybe the Black Book didn’t say something similar?”
“no. He used to say that he was thankful that the Most High had left him to the church and that he was able to have disciples who would not hurt even if he put them in his eyes. Before he closed his eyes, he recommended the disciple to Seomrang’s secret hand sign, and Seomrang also accepted.”
“Oh my. “Who is that poor disciple?”
“This is Oh Hee-seong, the wife of the Hwajeon Oh family. “She is the younger sister of Oh Gyeong, who died after being defeated by Seomrang in a battle for life and death.”
“You’re mean. “What are you doing to this poor kid?”
“Oh Hee-seong and the other members of the Hwajeon O family already swore twenty years ago that they would serve Seomrang as their lord. They are all grateful because Seomrang has given them so much more. and… … .”
Dan Ga-hwi paused for a moment and then continued.
“Soin’s father also left a will saying thank you for breaking the wall thanks to the teachings of the Most High.”
“Is it shiny?”
Jeong Gwang shook his head.
“There’s no way he’d make something up that didn’t exist. “I tried my best. Engrave ‘flash’ instead of ‘sparkle’ on the tombstone.”
“thank you. “You will be very happy in heaven.”
“Then, tell him to beat up the returnees instead of me. Bye, I’m leaving.”
Dan Ga-hwi, who had always been calm except for when Jeong-gwang bestowed the grace of changing his father’s nickname to Ssang-gwang, was surprised.
“Already?”
“I can see you again later.”
“I haven’t told you the most important thing yet.”
“why? Did Seomrang run away from home?”
“Half yes, half no.”
“It means that willing and unwilling are mixed. “Isn’t this the plan you and Namin made?”
“Yes, Most High.”
“I’ll ask Namin on the way. “Where is he?”
A while later, Jeong Gwang met Namin, who had taken on the heavy position of left and right Gwangmyeong twin brains alone after Gwigokja’s death, in her office.
“It’s been a while, I’m Soger. “You’re still pretty.”
Namin knew that Jeonggwang hated Gwarye, just like Dangahwi did, so she greeted him politely.
“It is an honor to see Heavenly God again like this.”
“I said it wasn’t like that, but you keep saying it. “How are you?”
“I have taken the words given by the Heavenly God as my gold and jade, and have not been impatient and have taken a particularly long look at people. “All work should be done with fairness as the basis, but when things don’t seem right, we organize things boldly.”
“You’re not reporting any kind of work, why are you being so stiff? “What about other people?”
From Namin’s mouth flowed the greetings of the people who were with Jeonggwang.
“Saints and priests are helping believers in need and spreading the word of the Heavenly God, and the Handeungmin family is helping with that work.”
“Hyeonyu must be busy.”
“That’s right. As commanded by the Heavenly God, Gwan Suksu guided the children who had come in contact with Sogyoju, and when the merchant returned to his hometown, he returned to Kucha and ran a guesthouse, taking care of the children there who were of poor quality.”
“There are quite a few people who have gone.”
As Jeong Gwang scratched his cheek and mumbled, Namin also shared good news.
“Gwak Sang, who was the head of the Three Hyangs of the Guardian Church and was appointed by the Heavenly God as the envoy of light, is still fine. After Cheonshin left, several families clashed over Toro Domain, which became vacant after the Toro Domain family was completely pushed out, and an agreement was reached to entrust it to the Guo family, which had almost no foundation. He retired some time ago and decided to spend the rest of his life there.”
“Good for you. She said it was time for Him to rest too.”
“But the Iron Mother of the Lininglin family is in critical condition. “After the previous head of the Taesang family passed away, his condition worsened, but it is said that it would not be surprising if he left.”
“yes? Are you still alive? “That’s even more surprising.”
Jeong Gwang tilted his head and then changed the topic.
“How about Seomrang’s foundation?”
“Everyone admits this, but sometimes there are those who are consumed by demonic nature and act recklessly.”
“It’s very sturdy.”
“Furthermore, since the Lord of the Little Church personally destroyed it, such a thing has not happened in recent times.”
“Even chopping it myself. “It’s okay.”
Jeong Gwang asked with a satisfied face.
“Now, tell me about Seomrang’s runaway from home.”
“So Jiyoju… … .”
Jeong Gwang frowned after hearing Namin’s explanation.
“It’s been quite a while. It’s called Jeongjok Sangdan (鼎足商團). Aside from making a deal with that place. “I will definitely leave my mark on the Central Plains to establish the authority of the next religious leader and raise the morale of the religious leaders.”
Seomrang was a child who had many things to consider more important than that.
“I think there’s a greater desire to go out to the midfield and have fun.”
“The Heavenly God saw it right away. “The Lord Su also confessed in the same way.”
Jeong Gwang couldn’t help but laugh.
“haha. That guy has a secretly cute side to him. There may be a desire to compete with Soobin and boast that he is my best student. Do you think Seomrang will win?”
Namin answered confidently.
“At least I won’t lose.”
“Seeing that you are commenting like that, I guess Seomrang has grown up quite well.”
“It was so big that I stole all the secrets of the Kunlun Sect from the Heavenly Demon Secret Temple.”
“Hmm. They’re trying to show off to Kunlun with something that isn’t even theirs. “You grew up really well?”
“… … “It’s too self-indulgent, so I’ve brought along the owner of the Ageuk Soyeon family, who has a meticulous personality, so it will be a little better.”
“One more reason to go quickly.”
Jeong Gwang stood up.
The problem wasn’t anything else, but Seomrang and Pang Soobin were difficult to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and neither of them were the type of person to end a fight.
“right. What about Lord Soga of Goirukdanga (庫爾勒段家)? How are you?”
When Jeong Gwang asked about Danyoung, a layer of ice appeared on Namin’s face and then disappeared.
“of course. “The battlefield business is growing slowly but steadily, and we plan to start external distribution soon if the agreement with the clan leaders goes well.”
“Not Danga, but Danga Soga Lord.”
“He is in Goiruk now. Starting with a gambling house in Lining, Dokdu opened branches throughout Xinjiang. The golden chariots that the Most High invested in would also have greatly increased.”
“Hmm. “This is very suspicious.”
Jeong Gwang’s eyes narrowed.
“Why do you keep changing your mind? “Did you have a fight with Lord Danga Soga?”
“… … “I feel awkward because we have different opinions on certain issues.”
“If I become a little more awkward, I might end up getting stabbed. Make some concessions and get it over with. “I’ll stop.”
“yes? already… … .”
“You can see it again.”
Jeong Gwang had already disappeared before he finished speaking.
Namin looked at the wide open door with a devastated face and sighed softly.
“Even if the Heavenly God ordered it, in that matter… … .”
It was hard to follow.
Even if it means losing your life.
* * *
Zheng Guang rode toward Kunlun with Zhao, who was waiting outside.
I decided to stop by Inyeong as well.
As time passed, I arrived at Lining and went to the Lin family’s Daejanggwon.
The voices of many people were coming out.
martial arts,
