Chapter 15: Come on.

That night.

Before returning to my private chamber, I briefly looked up at the night sky.

Demon Sword.

Blood Demon Sword.

In the end, I chose these two swords.

In fact, there were quite a few decent ones around…

‘But they were all beyond my current strength.’

The most unrefined, the closest to the ‘original’ weapons.

For some reason, there was an attraction to the Blood Demon Sword.

Unlike the Demon Sword, which shined as if asking to be chosen. I realized the moment I grabbed the sword hilt.

This, it was very similar to my favorite sword.

Blood Demon Sword.

It is a sword that Ma Roe praised so much that it suited me.

I didn’t like the modifiers that followed…

But if it was a sword used by the Small Heavenly Demon, its performance would already be guaranteed.

Even the fact that it fit perfectly in my hand was like a sword I had used before.

However… if there’s a problem.

The Blood Demon Sword disrupts internal energy every time it is swung.

Even for me, who is not yet familiar with the concept of internal energy, I consume a lot of mental power every time I swing it.

‘I have no choice but to use the Demon Sword for now.’

As I was walking around like that, I also encountered warriors loitering in other places.

“Is that the guy who appeared this time?”

Especially after several incidents happened, they were proudly shooting glances at me.

The inside of the Demonic Cult, which was wandering around, was divided into several factions.

A faction that is only in form…

That means that there are many power struggles.

The ones who are less than that and loitering around me right now are the ones who have nothing to lose.

So they must have run at me after seeing me.

‘They must have seen me as a guy who can’t even grasp the recoil of martial arts.’
“
“

I didn’t have time to pay much attention to it.

It was just annoying.

As I followed the path to the private chamber, voices were heard from behind my back.

“That male prostitute, he seduced her well.”

I sighed.

…I didn’t seduce her.

World of the Strong.

They are originally demonic people who whine in front of strength.

Even if it’s the middle class, the opportunists who are crawling at the bottom and peeking at the situation are bound to rush at people like me.

Perhaps because I showed such an appearance last time, the concubine is called upon for the second time this time.

Perhaps I should decide not to pay attention and ignore it.

…It’s not like that in the world of the strong.

And. It wouldn’t matter if they were just insulting me.

One word kept coming up.

As I walked, I tried to ignore the gazes and whispers I felt on the back of my neck.

But the low voices and sneers heard from behind kept irritating me.

“Is that the body of a warrior? It’s pretty.”

Someone said sarcastically.

“Will he even fight with a fist that has no scars like that?”

“He must have come out to show off his talent.”

The jeers of the giggling guys remained in my ears.

I still didn’t turn my head, and my expression remained firm.

“The Sword Empress is also playing bad hands continuously. Protecting a half-wit like that…”

“You’re the only one acting noble. Do you think a guy who was abandoned by his parents will continue to be here?”

“Huh, is he running away like a coward?”

It was that moment.

The hand that was opening the door stopped and turned around.

His lips were firmly closed for a moment.

The guys who were watching that around him expressed doubts.

“Woah, it seems like you’ve got a fighting spirit now.”

“It doesn’t matter if you insult me…. but touching Cheon Hye-rin is a different story.”

This is protection for me.

Cheon Hye-rin is protecting me. Perhaps it is thanks to her that I can avoid the pressure from other elders and the pressure from masters who surpass transcendence.

Only those who have nothing to lose would recklessly put such vulgar words in their mouths.

But like a butterfly effect, when those words gather, an atmosphere is bound to be created. Strange rumors might start spreading.

There was actually a system called ‘reputation’ in the game.

I don’t know if that will work even in the world of the strong in the Demonic Cult, but I couldn’t just watch those words come and go.

If my reputation drops, the threats coming to me will increase that much… and it will become difficult to obtain other mystical medicines.

The guy says with a voice that was unusually displeased.

“…You’re talking like she’s someone precious.”

“Is there anyone more precious to me than that in this place? Cheon Hye-rin is my woman.”

“Are you crazy? To call the Sword Empress your woman.”

I let out a deep sigh.

“So, that means don’t touch her.”

“…You’re the only one who values the Sword Empress that much.”
“
“

…I hope this doesn’t cause another misunderstanding.

“Crazy guy.”

Heonmu, who was called a stray dog by the demonic people around him, sighed.

He was grinding his teeth at will.

The guys who eat everything raw.

The reason why I succeeded in running away against the third-rate thugs at the end… I’m receiving such treatment.

The Sword Empress’s gaze, which had rejected and pushed him away.

He remembers that.

She rejected him so coldly, but how can she give such treatment to that man? She said that she determines everything with just strength. That guy is receiving special treatment.

He revealed his mismatched one-sided love for Cheon Hye-rin and, at the same time, his jealousy for the Hwandan Pill and various privileges that would fall into his hands.

Heonmu didn’t care if that guy loved or cherished the Sword Empress.

Just…

There is a problem if she is a being loved by the Sword Empress.

The appearance that the guy would show was very annoying.

The fact that the guy, who had been quietly crumpling around him all this time, suddenly became a hero of chaos and was being revered at a much younger age than Heonmu himself was something he couldn’t help but feel annoyed by.

He heard that the guy had no interest in other women and that the strength was only built up for the Sword Empress.

…It’s acting.

He had to prove that it was acting.

He was boiling with the feeling that he wanted to strip off that ugly mask and prove it.

The fact that the guy was pretending to be so devoted to the Sword Empress was only that arrogant guy’s petty courage.

Even though he ran away from the remnants of the defeated Jeongpa forces….

That he had monopolized the Sword Empress’s attention.

I can’t admit it.

It looks unpleasant.

Yu Jin’s rumors were growing day by day.

His stomach was twisting every time he saw him. It was as if his insides were boiling over.

The days he had fought and the path he was walking were too different.

Unlike himself, who had rolled around in the mud without being recognized by anyone, that lucky guy was walking the path while receiving the Sword Empress’s attention in the brilliant light.

That’s why he wants to knock him down.

He knows what kind of words he should use to make that guy angry.

Anyway, what would a guy who is full of bluffing do?

“Come on. You’re not going to run away like a coward, are you?”

He gestures with a provocative smile.

The colleague next to him said with a cold sweat.

“Still, he’s being treated as a hero inside…. Are you okay?”

Heonmu burst into a hollow laugh at this.

“Anyway, if you take off the mask, the ugly side will be revealed.”

“How…”

“You just have to scratch that guy’s pride once.”

Heonmu, who muttered that, opened his mouth with a vile sneer.

“…You’re talking like she’s someone precious.”

“Is there anyone more precious to me than that in this place? Cheon Hye-rin is my woman.”

“Are you crazy? To call the Sword Empress your woman.”

He let out a deep sigh.

“So, that means don’t touch her.”

“…You’re the only one who values the Sword Empress that much.”
“

…I hope this doesn’t cause another misunderstanding.

“Crazy guy.”

Ma In, Heonmu, who is called a stray dog by those around him, sighed.

He was grinding his teeth at will.

“…You’re talking like she’s someone precious.”

“Is there anyone more precious to me than that in this place? Cheon Hye-rin is my woman.”

“Are you crazy? To call the Sword Empress your woman.”

A rough expression.

He was about to open his mouth to remind him that a person like you was not someone he could covet.

At the same time, Yu Jin said.

“So, that means don’t touch her.”

“…You’re the only one who values the Sword Empress that much.”
“
“
“A young guy, you’re rushing in without fear.”

Cheon Hye-rin stopped walking at the end of the hallway.

And quietly glanced at Yu Jin’s appearance through the crack in the door.

The words of criticism pouring out on him.

Those belittling attitudes.
“

Clearly, the sneering that was heard from somewhere was scratching her nerves.

Words that criticized herself?

Good.

Failures are originally bound to be jealous.

Usually, she wouldn’t be involved in everything that other people were being ridiculed for…

She can’t forgive him getting hurt. It is a grave sin to tear his limbs apart.

It felt like something was welling up inside her, as if the arrows of criticism were actually there.

“…Yu Jin.”

Her inhalations and exhalations slowly began to become rough. Her large chest rose and fell.

The sounds flowing out from behind her back were getting sharper and sharper, and they stabbed him like sharp winds.

Cheon Hye-rin bit her lip tightly. She tried not to give even a single glance, but in the depths of her heart, there was a desire to refute their words.

But she already knew. That their gaze wouldn’t change easily no matter what she said.

To be exact, it was the jealousy that would be conveyed to him.

“…You’re talking like she’s someone precious.”

“Is there anyone more precious to me than that in this place?”

But he directly confronted those words.

Just after confessing his yearning heart, so that other guys couldn’t approach….

“Cheon Hye-rin is my woman.”

He clearly conveys his intentions.

Because he will make her his.

Cheon Hye-rin stopped, widening both eyes at Yu Jin’s words.

An unknown emotion surged up all at once from within her chest.

Her heart was pounding at the voice that she didn’t know what she was trying to say, and her vision seemed to blur. Each and every word that her husband had handed over was circling in the female general’s ears.

“…Yu Jin.”

Her eyes widen again.

Her heart was throbbing.

Her breathing was getting heavier.

Cheon Hye-rin pressed her large chest hard with both hands in a staggering posture.

Swaying in the waves of emotions, she unknowingly stepped back. She almost sat down on the floor because she couldn’t maintain her balance, but she barely endured and tried to regain her wavering self.

Her large chest rose and fell greatly as if trying to hide her excited heart.

“…You’re the only one who values the Sword Empress that much.”

A precious existence…

Cheon Hye-rin quickly raised both hands above her chest, and pressed down on her soft and bountiful chest to try to calm herself down.

With her ears burning, Cheon Hye-rin lowered her head deeply. Yu Jin’s voice was still not leaving her head, and each and every one of those voices seemed to dig deep into her chest and shake her insides.

Her heart was already leaning towards Yu Jin to the point where she couldn’t control it.
