Chapter 112: Reversal (2)
Doun, who heard the word "demon" from Chun Yeowun"s mouth, was surprised.
He was in human form now, so he shouldn"t have been able to know.
"How did he know who I am?"
Shakena walked up to him and spoke sarcastically.
"Huh. Indeed, my master is the best."
"Master?"
Doun looked confused at Shakena.
Calling someone master according to their clan meant defeat.
"It must be you."
Doun glared at Shakena. Chun Yeowun"s eyes narrowed at that.
"I am holding his neck, but he doesn"t seem to have a problem talking."
Demon"s neck was different from ordinary humans. A trained warrior normally protected his neck, but not this demon.
Like Shakena, demons were born with a combat-type body.
"Heart Hunter Shakena has a human as a master? How funny."
"Shut up."
Bang!
Chun Yeowun knocked him to the floor.
As if he didn"t care about being hurt, Doun looked up at Chun Yeowun in anger for being thrown to the floor.
"How dare a human!"
Grab!
Doun grabbed Chun Yeowun"s wrists, which were close to him.
"I will twist them!"
As he held the wrists with the strength of a demon, he tried to break them.
But.
"What?"
Chun Yeowun"s wrists didn"t break despite the amount of strength he used on them.
"Is it because of energy?"
Doun immediately grasped the problem.
Deciding that Chun Yeowun must be using internal energy to protect himself, he changed his methods.
"Human. You aren"t the only one who can do martial arts."
Replacing the energy of demons, he began to infuse energy into Chun Yeowun"s abdomen.
Pang! Kw.a.n.g!
"Euk!"
However, instead of hurting Chun Yeowun, his body only dug deeper into the ground.
Doun couldn"t understand what had happened.
"What the h.e.l.l?"
The fighting sense of demons exceeded that of humans. Besides, this demon had even learned martial arts.
"Why is it not working?"
Chun Yeowun"s ability to manipulate energy was beyond his imagination.
Doun had no choice but to acknowledge that Chun Yeowun was stronger than him.
"It seems like you are done a.n.a.lyzing."
Doun"s expression contorted.
Chun Yeowun continued to speak, not caring for him.
"Do you understand that it"s useless to continue struggling?"
"How can a human have such power…"
"If you want to know that, then tell me why you were one of the executives of the Murim a.s.sociation."
At Chun Yeowun"s question, the demon smiled.
Glaring at Chun Yeowun, he said.
"You certainly have surpa.s.sed the human limits. I don"t think I will be able to defeat you if I don"t use my ability."
"Ability?"
Shhh!
At that moment, the neck muscles in the demon"s body softened.
It moved like water or sweat around Chun Yeowun"s hand.
"What is this now?"
Chun Yeowun frowned.
This was such a strange ability, and Shakena yelled.
"Master. He has the ability to freely manipulate his body."
Doun, who went soft and slimy, went back to human form again.
His face, which had been a human till a moment ago, was now exotic looking like Shakena.
He was a handsome man with long brown hair and a sharp nose.
"So that is your real face."
"I was trying to maintain my human form, but you made me show this, so you"ll have to pay the price…"
Shhh!
"Uh?"
Before he could even finish his words, Chun Yeowun was in front of him.
The demon managed to move a little and avoid getting hit.
Chun Yeowun extended his fist towards that.
"Huh!"
Bewildered, the demon changed the rigidity of his body. His whole body turned grey and then hard like a stone.
Puck! Tak!
The new demon was pushed back about four steps, but he didn"t take any damage, so he said.
"Kuak,did you see it? If I make up my mind, not just internal energy, but even sword energy won"t touch my body."
"Is that so?"
As soon as he said that, Chun Yeowun grabbed the neck with lightning-like movements.
Pak!
"It"s no use!"
The demon tried to change his body into a smile.
However, from Chun Yeowun"s hand, a strong cold spread around.
Jjjkkkk!
"T-this!"
The cold penetrated into his body and then his slimy body grew stiff.
The demon, who didn"t expect Chun Yeowun to do this, was shocked.
At that, Chun Yeowun clenched his fist once more.
"Did you say you were too strong?"
"What?"
Chun Yeowun"s clenched fist was embodied with energy.
The demon screamed as he looked at the fist which was condensing and unifying energy enough to shake the s.p.a.ce.
"W-wait!"
"Too late."
Puak!
Chun Yeowun"s first pierced the demon"s abdomen.
"Kuak!"
At that moment, the floor collapsed because of the impact and they fell into the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Bang!
The demon opened his eyes and looked around, unsure what to do, but Chun Yeowun was ready with his fists clenched again.
Bewildered, the demon tried to block it.
Bang!
"Kuak!"
Chun Yeowun"s fist hit his face this time.
Although he managed to stop it because the coldness inside his body ended, the face went in like rubber, probably because his ability was halted for a moment.
"Ouch!"
"What are you doing?"
Chun Yeowun didn"t stop and struck the demon"s chest.
Bang!
The bas.e.m.e.nt collapsed and the demon"s body fell into the second bas.e.m.e.nt floor.
A groan went out of the Demon"s mouth.
"Kuaaah!"
Chun Yeowun clenched his fists and lifted him again.
The demon, who watched it, shouted in shock.
"St-stop!"
"I am not done yet."
"I give up! Surrender! I will surrender so please stop!"
Even if he was a demon, he was. .h.i.t three times in a row with a fist which could shake the s.p.a.ce, so there was no way he would continue to fight.
There was no blood, but blue smoke was rising from the demon"s body.
"This, this one isn"t a human."
The demon looked at Chun Yeowun with tired eyes.
The humans he knew were insignificant beings with many weaknesses to exploit. But this one in front of him was a monster that he couldn"t even deal with.
"Surrender…"
For demons, that meant defeat.
Safe to say that the demon had no intention of fighting anymore and would obey the winner"s decision.
However, this demon wasn"t reliable.
Not letting the energy out, Chun Yeowun uttered.
"You will surrender to me?"
"… yes."
He spoke in a voice that didn"t sound very believable.
At that, Chun Yeowun smiled and raised his fist again.
"I don"t think you have been tamed well."
Woong!
"No… way!"
The energy which was being condensed this time couldn"t be compared to the previous one.
The demon"s eyes widened as if they would explode.
"!!!"
At that level, forget pain, even the body of the demon would perish.
The demon hurriedly shouted.
"According to the law of the clan, Count Deo will concede defeat! Everything will be at the disposal of the victor. Take my life or make me your slave, as you will."
"Huh."
Chun Yeowun laughed at that.
The change in att.i.tude was quick, probably because he had been living in human society for long.
Chun Yeowun looked down at Deo unsure of what to do.
He was contemplating whether to kill him or not. Deo anxiously waited for Chun Yeowun"s decision.
"Well?"
At that moment, Chun Yeowun raised his head upwards.
From outside the building, people began to move, a sense of urgency and the sound of gathering at the entrance.
"Nano. Raise the volume and let me hear it."
[Yes.]
Nano amplified the sound above.
He heard reporters constantly ask what was happening inside. It was probably because the floor collapsed.
"This is so annoying."
He reduced as much energy as he could when he was subduing the demon, but it seemed like the sound wasn"t blocked.
Kuk!
Chun Yeowun looked at Deo"s face. The face which was punched in like a rubber doll, was back to normal.
"Hoh."
Seeing that, a good idea came to Chun Yeowun.
"You. I will accept you as a slave."
"Ah!"
Deo"s face brightened as he was scared that he would kill him.
"If only I get to live…"
He thought he"d always have a chance.
At that, Chun Yeowun lightly stretched out his sword at Deo.
"Huh?"
And that moment, great pain pa.s.sed through his body, the core in his chest was touched.
"Kuak!"
Deo"s body twisted in pain as if some sharp blade was stabbing him. He had never experienced such pain in his life.
Chun Yeowun said.
"I put a Heart Sword into your core. From now on, if you do what I tell you to do, I will remove it."
"H-heart Sword?"
Heart Sword.
A sword of heart.
It was a sword based on the will of a warrior who had reached the Heavenly Master level.
Since he learned martial arts, Deo recognized it.
"Is that even possible?"
He thought warriors were just imagining it.
Now he was genuinely afraid of Chun Yeowun.
As he clutched his chest with a pale face, Chun Yeowun said.
"If it is you, then you can endure the pain."
"!?"
Deo was confused.
Even now, he was still afraid of being killed.
"He-he is a true devil!"
Whisper! Whisper!
"Open it!"
"What was that noise just now!"
"How could the military stay silent!"
The military was fl.u.s.tered by the actions of the reporters who kept making a fuss to enter through the barricade.
If only the foreign reporters weren"t there, they would have forcibly sent back the domestic reporters.
When it came to a scoop, reporters were fearless.
"I am losing it!"
Captain Ko Sa-wong, glanced at the prison.
Even he wondered what was happening inside.
Since the director of the Ministry of National Defense went inside, he wanted to walk in and make sure he was safe.
"Let us enter!"
"I said you can"t!"
Both sides were in a tense confrontation.
Bang!
A huge roar at the entrance of the prison.
Everyone outside looked at it.
Kwakw.a.n.g!
A sound of battle inside, and then suddenly something broke through the wall instead of the building entrance.
It was a human.
The reporters were quick to take the pictures.
The human had a puzzled look as it covered his face and hurried somewhere.
Phat!
It was so fast that they lost track of where he went.
The reporters couldn"t get enough details.
However, a reporter played a reel he caught and looked at the human.
"Uh, this, this one…."
Shockingly, the person in the photo was Geum Song-ryong, the chairman of Blade Six.
A frown appeared on his face, but the reporter was certain.
‘Yah! Chairman Geum Song-ryong!’
A photo of the head of one of the five largest conglomerates in China caused a riot among the reporters.
