The Return of the Crazy Demon

I look at Won Ga-song, the subordinates he had with him, as well as the others.

It wouldn’t be so difficult to kill him in anger.

However, it makes me feel bad to think that the ordinary guest house would turn into a mess as a result.

All for money.

I jump into the air from my seated position and land lightly on the roof of the guest house.

“…”

Not only the besiegers, but also the Four Great Evils, the third young lord, and Sam Bok all look at me.

I must have looked insane when I jumped onto the roof. I speak to the people gathered with a serious expression.

“Righteous ones, listen.”

“….”

“I acknowledge that the border between life and death hasn’t been this close. The man you want to take away is the third son of the Cult Leader. Are you doing this because you think you can do better than him? Are you saying the members of your troops can handle the Cult Leader? Nope.”

“…”

“Be it that the Great Young Lord ordered it or not, the fact that you are down here at the order of him, the son of the Cult Leader, will not change. If you can handle it, come hit the guy. Some might not know who I am, but I am Low-Down Sect Leader, who sided with Im So-Baek. If something difficult happens to Leader Im, I will join him and if I am persecuted by someone, Leader Im will come. Does this mean that we are in a hyung- little brother relationship? No.”

“…”

“The guy sitting under the roof with a grumpy expression is the child of the Mong family. The Mong family is a family that has produced people that have become generals, strong warriors and soldiers. Regardless of his fame as the stupid second son of the family, he isn’t one who will die in your hands.”

Won Ga-sung, who was listening to it all quietly till then, snorts like this is absurd.

I mention Yukhap too.

“The man with the frightening face over there is Master Yukhap. He is a man who has trained with a sword in hand with the sole purpose of avenging his sect. As a result, he has single handedly annihilated 3-4 unorthodox sects. There must be some people who haven’t heard the title of Master Yukhap till now. But those who heard the name of his will have to say that he is one mad with revenge.”

I tell the two people in front who are silent.

“You people. These are the people you are trying to attack right now. And only I know exactly what kinds of warriors the Low-Down Sect has, and how much strength is held. I will admit that the Heavenly Alliance is one of the stronger unorthodox groups out there. However, if you can afford to go against the Low-Down Sect, Mong family and Six Equilibrium Sect, then come on.”

“….”

I look at the guys who have serious looks.

“I assure you, that you will be annihilated.”

While sitting cross legged, I copy the hand movements of a statue of Buddha I saw in a shabby temple one day.

After joining my thumb and forefinger in with my right hand, I wrap myself in white flame.

After infusing my dantian to my left hand, a bright red flame soon shines around my thumb and forefinger.

Now, I have embodied the image of a man mumbling nothing but the will of Buddha.

Amitabha’s1 last warning that he would send the Moon and Sun down to those who don’t listen to his warnings and then beat them all to death.

If I’m able to put my hands in a state like this, then I am sure that the technique will explode with everyone dying.

Come to think of it, it seems like Amitabha is also a senior of Kangho who has deep compassion.

I mumble, like I am reciting the prayer of Buddha.

“… senior, I will take over from here. Amitabha.”

Under the roof, Pervert Demon sighs.

“When will that guy go crazy enough to be seriously called crazy?”

Pervert Demon stands up with his hands on his waist and speaks to the alliance.

“Now, now. If that guy decides to put his palms together everyone here will die. Low-Down Sect Leader is the craziest person that I have ever seen. I have yet to meet someone who is on his level. I seriously suggest that Won Ga-sung, go and tell the family that sent you, that you failed. This is not a problem someone at the level of a leader/captain like you can solve.”

Pervert Demon points his finger at me.

“Third one, calm down now. Do not do that. I will get mad. I told you not to do that.”

At that time, Ghost Demon jumps into the air and lands on the edge of the roof and draws his sword out.

Srng…!

Pervert Demon asks Ghost Demon with a surprised look.

“What?”

To which Ghost Demon answers.

“I won’t stop him because some other person can come rushing in. Wouldn’t it be better to just kill them all? They will continue to come again.”

I nod.

“A. M. I. T. H. A. B. H. A.”

“Ahh, shit.”

Pervert Demon lets out a soft groan and then leaps into the air.

As I gaze at the people of the alliance and join the Light Sky of Sun and Moon technique, a roar pierces through the air.

Pajjjikkk!

The entire guest house began to shake like it was about to collapse. In an instant, the group that realized that I had decided to kill them all, begins to run, leaving Won Ga-sung behind. At first it was just one or two people, but fear is like a communicable disease, and it spread around as they all escaped as a group. The screams of those fleeing only grew louder and louder.

Even Won Ga-sung, who stepped in front as the leader of the troops, was taking steps back with an absurd look.

“No….”

In an instant, I pull my hands back and then order the demons and the young lord.

“Get a hold of that bastard.”

In an instant, all three of them soar high into the air at the same time and they chase after Won Ga-sung who is running back. They use their martial arts and then they immediately surround Won Ga-sung.

From what Pervert Demon said, this guy is a leader/captain level warrior. However, I wasn’t able to determine his skill level because the four of us were fiercely ready to fight.

Did everyone understand what I meant to say?

Well, Ghost Demon strikes Won Ga-sung’s shoulder at once.

“Huek!”

Pervert Demon uses palm technique on the chest.

“Euk.”

And the third young lord kicks the guy’s chin.

Puak

I take advantage of this and hit the guy on the head as he staggers back.

Puak!

After knocking Won Ga-sung down with a kick, I step on his body as he struggles.

“How dare you believe in the flow around you, and come, com…”

Puak! puak! Puak!

“Understand how to read the air. You bastard.”

When I lose my temper, Ghost Demon and Pervert Demon come ahead and trample the guy. Soon Sam Bok too joins in and does the same.

“Because of you, I had to piggyback, piggyback him! You fucking dog!”

Once Won Ga-sung is covered in blood, we stop stomping on him. We truly are merciful people.

I ordered Sam Bok.

“Take this.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Sam Bok grabs the guy by the ankles and drags him. We return back to the guesthouse and look around like idiots.

Sam Bok throws the guy.

Won Ga-sung, who is roiling on the ground and trembling, doesn’t say anything for a moment.

Having inhaled so much dirt, we drink silently and rinse our mouths with alcohol. After spitting out, I approach Won Ga-sung and grab him by his hair. I look at the half-conscious guy and say,

“Captain Won.”

“…”

“What a nice sight this is. Captain Won, Captain Won…”

I slap the guy’s face since he doesn’t respond. With a slap-sound, I can see his teeth fall out of his mouth onto the ground.

And I called him again.

“Captain Won.”

Captain Won glares at me while breathing heavily. I reach out and check his eyes.

“Your eyes seem alive. This bastard. You are alive. As expected of an evil one. Fucking insane.”

I slap his face again as he glares at me.

Puak!

This time, it seems that I hit him too hard because his head jerks back and he faints.

Pervert Demon asks in a calm tone,

“Dead?”

I stretch my hands out to check his pulse and say,

“He is still alive. Sam Bok, give me a drink.”

“Yes.”

After getting alcohol from him, I pour it onto the guy’s face. If strong alcohol flows down his nose and mouth, he is bound to come to his senses.

I call him again, in a toneless voice.

“I can do this all night. Why me? Well, cause I have nothing to do and I am bored. I will call again. Captain Won.”

Won Ga-sung replies as he gulps,

“… Yes.”

I point my finger at him and then look back.

“Wow, now he answers me. If only he had answered earlier, would it have been so wrong? Are you an idiot? Is it that hard to answer? You are so funny. Hahaha.”

I leave him alone for a while and then get up to pour myself a drink.

We bring chairs one after another and place them around the guy and sit down to savor the drink and the cooled meat.

“Kuak.”

Pervert Demon, Ghost Demon, young lord, and Sam Bok naturally join in, not feeling a tad bit odd about the situation.

If you want to drink, then drink.

Want meat, grill it.

Want to say something, then say it.

While looking at the scenery, they quickly fall back into the rhythm of the daily life of a guest house.

Sam Bok asks me,

“… Sect Leader. Shall we grill more meat?”

“Do it. Didn’t you buy ramen?”

“I forgot ramen.”

“So sad.”

Sam Bok smiles.

“I will make sure to buy some later and make a bowl of ramen just for you.”

I clap for him.

“Look at this jerk, so wild. Nice. I had never seen an escort as good as you in all my life. Sam Bok.”

“Thank you.”

Pervert Demon and Ghost Demon too praise him.

“So flexible.”

“He is doing a lot of work.”

Sam Bok smiles and asks the young lord,

“Would you like to have something?”

To which he responds with a stiff face.

“None.”

“Yes.”

Sam Bok finally says,

“If you think of anything you want to eat, please let me know.”

“….”

Only then did I look at the trembling guy on the ground.

“What was this monkey’s name again?”

Pervert Demon answers,

“Won Ga-sung?”

“Ah, right.”

I remember something and ask him,

“Doesn’t the Heavenly Alliance have the largest number of captains?”

“Right. If one is an outside force and then joins them, they are given the title of captain. That is why the skills of each captain are different. Only the name their alliance holds is strong, not them individually. The leader of the alliance is great. Because he gathered everyone under him.”

According to the Murim Alliance, there are small and medium troops which have had to cease their activities because of a lack of funds, and so, they were provided shelter under the alliance.

At this point, it would be normal for Won Ga-sung to threaten us by mentioning the name of his leader. But was it because we are insane? Won Ga-sung doesn’t speak. He seems to have realized the severity of his mistake.

I take my chopsticks and grab a piece of meat which was still cooking before approaching Won ga-sung.

“Captain Won, open your mouth now. Ahhh….”

Won Ga-sung glares at me with a tired look.

And I speak in a cold tone.

“Open your mouth. Before being beaten to death. This is my last warning.”

As soon as I see Won Ga-sung open his mouth, I put the meat in his mouth, and he glares at me with a serious look.

“Captain Won.”

“Yes.”

“I would have told you that you aren’t the type of man to do what you are asked. Were my words funny to you? Anyway, even if I killed you now, your leader would come, and I would kill your leader. What do you think of this situation? Listen.”

I throw my chopsticks and touch his head with my left hand.

“Answer me now.”

Depending on his answer, I was thinking of breaking Won Ga-sung’s head.

Won Ga-sung looks into my eyes…

He speaks to me with eyes that were saying that he clearly wanted to hit me.

“Sect Leader, please spare me.”

I clench my right hand with qi.

“I should spare you? Why? Why does everyone want to be spared only after it gets this far? Is it a man’s life to bully the weak and ask for mercy from the strong? You bastards change so easily.”

I hit Won Ga-sung on his forehead with a flick. With the sound of a thud, the guy falls back. He could have died or still be alive, but I don’t bother checking.

While I am the only one dealing with him, I wondered if the others would understand the meaning behind my words.

I turn and look around at them.

“Second son, Yukhap, third son, and the escort. You cannot live like these people. This one is not even a man.”

I don’t expect an answer, and everyone just looks at me with their mouths closed.
