After expelling Baek So-hwi and disbanding the Cheonma Sect, Yoo Seodam and his party headed straight for Kunlun Mountain Range.

Kunlun Mountain Range, which was called the pillar of the world’s roof, was also known as the ‘root of dragon veins’ since ancient times, and was the cleanest and most sacred place in the whole continent.

4000m above the sea level, In the ‘Jade Mountain’ of Kunlun mountain range, which was also called the wildest but most beautiful peak in the world,

“Die! Die!”

“You idiots who use dirty magic dare to talk about martial arts?”

“HAHA! Do you think we don’t know that you guys also came here seeking for those dirty magic?”

Humans, who were nothing but insignificant creatures, were shoving their swords at their opponents, defiling the holiness of the jade mountain.

Even the night sky above was drenched in blood red as tens of thousands Murim warriors gathered with their own goal in mind. Even though they were once colleagues and friends, hesitation was the least thing they were concerned about as they wielded their swords aiming for each other’s throats.

Hundreds of Murim warriors had already lost their lives. But no one cared about such things. They only care about procuring the divine object of Kunlun Sect which could make their own sect and themselves grow even more stronger. Warriors of Murim was originally like this. Once you expose their internal nature, you’ll instantly see just how disgusting they truly are regardless of their Sect or Faction.

“The war has grown bigger than I thought.” Yoo Seodam spoke. On his side Seol Jungyeon nodded in agreement.

“Do all the wars in Murim look like this?” Taylor said with a frown on her face. She clearly didn’t like the situation before her.

“No.” Seol Jungyeon shook her head. “Murim also has its own rules and manners. At the very least, when they meet the strong, they will respect each other… The warriors here don’t even ask each other’s names.”

Yoo Seodam frowned at the bloodbath before him. It was true that he was the one who incited this war. But he had only aimed to create a small conflict to serve as a smokescreen for his purpose of coming here, retrieving the Magic Orb. After all, from what he knew, no matter how violent Murim warriors are, they wouldn’t wage war as violent as this.

There’s a chance that all of this violence stem from other demons who had also come to Murim.

“Should we stop them?” Seol Jungyeon asked. Her eyes were looking at Yoo Seodam.

“Yes Noonim.”

They only need this war as a smokescreen. Now that they had already arrived at Jade Mountain, the war could end for all he cares.

“I see.” Seol Jungyeon said as she unsheathed her sword from her waist.

And then with a knowing smile, Yoo Seodam said to Taylor. “Hey. You are in charge of directing.”

“What are you talking about?”

However, no further explanation was necessary. Because right away, things happened.

With just one leap, a thunderous roar echoed through the battlefield. All the warriors stopped fighting and focused their eyes on a woman with a small stature who just arrived. Her platinum hair flutters like a sunset as her eyes staring at the battlefield.

Where the hell did she come from?

What the hell is that presence?

Before anyone even ask the question out loud, someone in the crowd shouted.

“Th..the Supreme Cheonma… Seol Jungyeon!!!”

A Supreme being who had reached the realm of Hyunkyung as well as the woman who once ruled the world. The strongest being in the whole Murim had appeared in front of them.

In an instant, the swords of all Murim warriors, regardless of their affiliation, turned towards her. But even though she received their attention, she silently raised her head toward where the Kunlun Sect’s palace was located.

“Open the way.”

At her words, tens of thousands of Murim warriors were shaken. The thoughts of continuing the war or fighting against her had completely vanished from their head.

Seeing such a scene, Yoo Seodam’s expression hardened. ‘In case they still have the guts to fight, we are going to be in trouble, right?’

Seol Jungyeon had indeed reached the realm of Hyunkyung but in the end she was only one person. There’s no way she could win against tens of thousands Murim warriors who had reached at least the realm of Peak-Rank Expert. That’s why, some kind of ‘impact’ was needed.

From somewhere high in the sky.

A ‘pillar of light’ suddenly fell down.

Thud!!

“Ugh?!”

“What, what!”

The pillar of light didn’t only strike once. It kept falling wherever people were gathered and separated them.

Meanwhile, Seol Jungyeon silently walked between the pillars of light, and the terrified Murim warriors all made way for her.

It was all possible because Yoo Seodam had taken advantage of the victim’s psychology.

Let’s say there are thirty adult men who were taken hostage by a terrorist with only seven bullets in his gun. If all of them attacked the terrorists at once, at least 23 people could survive. But the hostages wouldn’t do that. No, to be exact they couldn’t. Because they knew if they go first, they’ll die.

With an overwhelming impact and a psychological horror, the Murim warriors all scurried away from Seol Jungyeon’s path as if they were recreating the miracle of Moses separating the Red Sea. None of them stopped her. None of them dare to stand in the way of the Supreme Cheoma who walked leisurely towards Kunlun’s palace.

This was ‘fear’. A true Expert’s fear which suppresses even the anger created by a demon’s power.

The war seemed to end for now, and Yoo Seodam and Taylor hurriedly ran towards Seol Jungyeon.

After reaching the peak of Jade Mountain. Yoo Seodam and his party could finally see an octagonal pavilion. In front of it, someone was waiting for Yoo Seodam and his party just below the statue carved from a rock.

“What a grand entrance, Oh the great Supreme Cheonma.” Do Cheol-ho, the oldest member of the Kunlun Sect said.

Seol Jungyeon nodded her head to greet him because they had known each other.

“You are also good at showing that shameless face of you.”

At Seol Jungyeon’s words, Do Cheol-ho smiled as his white hair fluttered.

“I just realized that the world was infinitely meaningless when I let go of all of my anguish.”

“Is that why you join hands with a demon?”

“…!”

Do Cheol-ho’s eyes widened for a moment before a smile once again bloomed on his face.

Yoo Seodam felt that his smile was different from earlier. It was as if it was a smile of something else, not a human.

‘Is that the possessed body of this world?’ Yoo Seodam thought. A demon had to possess someone in order to manifest. Perhaps, Do Cheol-ho had given himself to the demon. But is it possible for a sage who was drunk with power to be corrupted to such a degree?

“…Now that I see it, I see. You came from that world, ‘Earth’.”

Yoo Seodam was right. Do Cheol-ho’s tone and atmosphere had completely changed. Without being taken aback, Yoo Seodam answered. “You are correct.”

“Did you come here knowing that I was the one who opened the ‘door’ you were using? HAHAHAHA. Interesting, But I’m sorry, it would not work.”

“Sorry? What are you talking about?”

“Earth is a clean world. It’s a world hardly ever been invaded by a ‘demon’. It seems like in the distant past, your people had driven demons away from your world, though back then demons still couldn’t use their power properly.” Do Cheol-ho said as if he was genuinely sorry.

It was a story unknown to Yoo Seodam. He also didn’t believe it was true. So, he decided to not maintain his silence.

“Thousands of years since then. Earth still doesn’t have any demons. However, not anymore. A demon, this me, has left footprints on Earth. Do you know what will happen next?” Do Cheol-ho showed off his pure white teeth. He’s wickedly smiling.

“Even if you dig the heart of this body and break the Magic Orb, the demons of Murim will eventually visit your Earth! The smell of this demon is so venomous, those jealous bastards can’t stand not going to the world I’ve been to!”

At the same time, Do Cheol-ho pointed to the back of Yoo Seodam and his party.

Kuoooonngg!!

In the distance, beyond the mountain range, a huge figure resembling a shadow arose. It was as if the entire mountain peak was moving…. It sharply revealed its sharp teeth and bit the warriors of Murim. They collapsed to the ground, but no wounds could be seen on their body. However, they weren’t fine either because what the demon had bit was their soul.

In another place, a huge cow pounded the mountain. The demon, whose feet were the only visible part of his body, had turned the entire terrain upside down and disappeared somewhere.

And up in the sky, as the sky darkened, an enormous pupil appeared. A face resembling a demon appeared from among the clouds, it giggled as it looked at the world, before disappearing.

That’s right. This world had already been polluted by the existence of ‘demons’ long before the people of Earth set their foot here. They were always looking for an opportunity to devour the world, and they finally revealed themselves as the demon of Kunlun Sect started a war.

Seol Jungyeon’s eyes captured the sight of the Murim people kneeling in despair at those overwhelming sight while Yoo Seodam looked at the scene without saying a word, and then met Do Cheol-ho’s eyes again.

“That’s right, you guys somehow have the means to resist my power. Killing me and destroying the Magic Orb will be an easy thing to do for you guys.” Do Cheol-ho grinned. “But you see, humans cannot stop demons no matter what they try. After all, We, who are born from the negative emotions of humans, and grow up eating their souls, will never disappear from the humans’ side.”

Yoo Seodam maintained his silence. What the demon said was correct. Demons couldn’t be destroyed unless a ‘demon hunter’ appears. But not just anyone could be a demon hunter.

In many worlds, when a demon appeared, the world’s beloved ‘protagonist’ had no choice but to solve it. But as we all know, it was not a perfect solution. Protagonist might be able to prevent the world from being destroyed by the demon, but in the end, the world would still be destroyed because they consumed too much probability.

Of course, there are some exceptions here and there just like Aracelli who was destined for greatness and able to fight demons without being a protagonist.

But in Murim, was there someone like her?

Yoo Seodam didn’t know. Probably, he wouldn’t know until the very end. The only thing he could do right now was to get rid of the demon in front of him and break the magic ball.

But what if the demon’s words were true?

Afterall, his plan to close the portal was just a temporary measure. If other demons come from another world, what should he do?

Knowing Yoo Seodam’s complicated mind, Do Cheol-ho laughed.

“Do you understand now? So, stop doing meaningless things and go back to your world!”

The moment Do Cheol-ho shouted those words, the flow of the world suddenly began to gather somewhere.

“…”

It was ‘probability’ which no one could feel, so there were only two people in this place who were surprised at the phenomenon. It was Yoo Seodam and Do Cheol-ho. However, the phenomenon each of them felt wasn’t the same.

Yoo Seodam sensed the ‘birth of a story’ while Do Cheol-ho sensed the ‘death of the demon’.

“…this is, what…?” Do Cheol-ho stuttered. Demons never die. But they are not immortal. Even though it may seem impossible for humans to kill a demon, it doesn’t mean there is no way at all. On the contrary, there were many ways to do it.

But, how? Who knows the way to ‘kill’ a demon which a demon itself didn’t know?

When Do Cheol-ho looked into the air with bewildered eyes, Yoo Seodam smiled as if he wasn’t surprised.

“Haha, it looks like you don’t have to worry too much about what will happen after you are dead.”

A message had popped up in front of Yoo Seodam’s eyes.

[‘Baek So-Hwi’ a level 219 character has been reborn as the Protagonist of ‘Murim World’.]

[A new story begins to be written in this world.]

And as soon as he saw the message, a brilliant idea came to Yoo Se-dam’s mind. It was an idea that could possibly prevent Murim from destruction

“So, just die quietly.” Yoo Seodam said as Do Cheol-ho’s expression distorted miserably.
