Descent of the Demon God Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Side Story (10)

“Cough!”

A handful of blood came out of the white-haired man's mouth. He couldn't stop the Sky Flash that went for him and suffered internal injuries.

However, he had regenerative power as he took the blood of the Great Bird.

“Kuak!”

After the dead blood inside was drained out, the skin returned to normal. He couldn't hide his shock. None of the clan's men he had gathered here were left alive.

'Damn it!'

He never imagined that Demon God was this strong. Now, there were only a couple of things left to do.

'Chun Woo-myung! I need to get him.'

There was no other way to stop the monster from running unless that was done. But, while he was wounded, Chun Yeowun appeared in front of the three trapped in the ice.

“This is embarrassing, Lord.”

Hu Bong had a guilty expression. It was for not properly taking care of the Young Lord.

“Don't mind. What could you have done in this situation?”

“Lord…”

It was a trap that the enemies had planned and prepared. No matter how experienced Hu Bong was, he couldn't have dealt with this having two kids by his side.

So, in preparation for such times, Chun Yeowun implanted a modified nano machine in his son's body to detect any emergency.

Shhh!

Chun Yeowun held out his hand, and the ice melted. Chun Woo-myung got up and bowed his head, then said,

“Father… Everything is my fault. If I followed the original place, uncle Hu and Wang-suk wouldn't have had to go through this.”

And he even made his father come all the way here. As a Young Lord of the clan, he was ashamed.

Chun Yeowun just looked at him, who had the face of the child that was admitting his mistake and not showing pain despite having his face all bloody.

'This child.'

Tak!

He put his hand on his son's head.

“There is no perfect man in murim.”

“Father…”

“It is important to learn from mistakes and create a new version of yourself.”

Chun Yeowun, too, made several mistakes when he was young, and based on those, he learned where he was today.

“… I will keep it in mind!”

After his son's reply, he slowly touched his son's face.

Shh!

When Chun Yeowun reached his son's face, the bloodstains were cleaned, and the wounds were healed. As the pain, too, disappeared, Chun Woo-myung exhaled.

'Ah… my father….'

This omnipotent being was his father. And he healed his wounds.

“Ah! Brother Yun!”

Suddenly, Chun Woo-myung thought of the man who helped him. Looking around, he found Yun Jseo lying down.

“Someone you know?”

He nodded at Chun Yeowun's question, but he didn't give other details.

But the man who was righteous till the end.

“A colleague.”

“Yes?”

Chun Yeowun smiled at the worried face of his son and reached out his hand. The body of Yun Jseo floated towards him.

“Uh?”

Chun Yeowun moved him and made him stand easily. Yun Jseo looked around, surprised.

'This… this is the Demon God.'

He was facing the head of the Sky Demon Order he hated so much, the current leader of the Murim. When such a being was in front of him, Yun Jseo froze.

“My son seems to have taken a liking to you.”

Chun Yeowun touched the severed right arm and rubbed it. The bleeding on Yun Jseo's right arm stopped, and the internal energy of Chun Yeowun wrapped around the injured areas.

“Ah!”

Yun Jseo felt strange.

Aside from being the enemy who closed down his clan, Chun Yeowun had an enormous presence. And the expression of the man being overwhelming did suit him better.

“Brother Yun… I am sorry for hiding my identity.”

Yun Jseo didn't say anything about Chun Woo-myung's identity. When he found out that they were cursing the Sky Demon Order in front of this group, he felt terrible.

'How can this be?'

Chun Woo-myung smiled at the bewildered man and sent telepathy.

[Don't worry, brother Yun. I'm bad at keeping secrets!]

“Kuak!”

At that, Yun Jseo let out a squeaky laugh. At the same time, he thought that this young man, Chun Woo-myung, was a good person.

It was then,

Creepy!

Weird energy rose, and everyone turned to it.

'!!!'

Kwakwakwang!

And turning into a storm, this weird energy swept to where Chun Yeowun was. It became a massive tornado with blue light that had the momentum to devour Chun Yeowun and those around him.

“W-we need to avoid it!”

Frightened, Yun Jseo shouted, but no one moved.

'W-why?'

He couldn't understand, but it was obvious. The most powerful being was right on their side.

Shh!

Chun Yeowun grabbed the sword and extended it.

At that moment,

Chak!

The tornado, with energy wanting to destroy everything, disappeared.

Goooo!

And once the storm was swept, there was a presence—the King of the Dead.

“W-what energy…”

Yun Jseo was at a loss for words. It was hard to breathe because of this eerie energy stimulating all his senses. This wasn't something a human could possess.

The white-haired man who stepped ahead yelled with a happy face.

“This is just the beginning, Demon God. The fact that this place will become your grave, no matter how much try, once the King comes ahead….”

Tak!

“Uh?”

The white-haired man frowned. It was because he saw what looked like golden fur around Chun Yeowun's shoulder.

'What?'

Looking closer, it was a fox cub? With nine tails? He was confused at this unexpected sight.

Even the King of the Dead was shocked.

“King?”

“No way…”

He couldn't understand why he was reacting like that to the baby fox.

— King of the Dead? So funny. Since when did you get called by such a grand name?

“The fox is speaking?”

The white-haired man was confused. This man wasn't surprised by the dead, Ghosts, or Ghouls, but by a talking fox.

And the King of the Dead…

“Gumi…”

The true identity of the baby fox.

— Ah, Gumi?

The golden fox frowned and jumped ahead. The moment she did it, her whole body was dyed in gold.

Wooong!

The golden fox dyed in golden light suddenly turned into a blonde woman. Yun Jseo, who knew nothing about this, and the white-haired man were shocked.

“Aunt Miho!”

The Golden Gumiho went right for the cheeks of Chun Woo-myung.

“Ugh. My cute cute Woo-myung!”

“Th… this… let… go….”

Chun Woo-myung felt embarrassed at how she was treating him as a child. However, knowing her nature, he could do nothing.

“My cute Woo-myung was tormented. Ugh.”

And while trying to soothe the child, she looked at the King of the Dead.

“Yah!”

The King of Dead had a tensed face hearing her scream. The arrogance he had moments ago disappeared.

Gumi warned.

“I will count from three to one. If you don't kneel before me right then, you die.”

Then she counted.

“Three!”

The white-haired man couldn't understand what was happening.

“King, what is happening? Immediately take them….”

“Two!”

The King's expression distorted in shame. He couldn't bow while the human who respected him was present, but he thought…

'Golden Gumiho.'

She was a monster so dangerous that everyone had a hard time with her. She was a Yokai which lived longer than him.

'Right. Not old.'

As soon as he made up his mind, the King of the Dead reached out his hand. And before she could call out the last number, he gathered his Yokai Energy and fired a blue ray at her.

“You kneel!”

Woong!

It was so strong that haze could be seen around, and the Golden Gumiho smiled.

Shhh!

One of her tails whipped it and slashed the beam.

Bang!

The beam bounced off the mountain and hit another one.

Grrrr!

As if there was a landslide, the mountain could be seen falling. And seeing that, one could know the King of Dead did his best.

Shhh!

“Uh?”

Before the King of Dead could process what just happened, one of Golden Gumiho's tails spread and tied him up like a rope.

Clench!

The King of the Dead raised his energy to get out, but nothing changed. The tail only got tighter and tighter.

Crack!

“Kuaaak!”

Unable to bear the pain, he screamed.

“W-what power!”

The King of the Dead thought it was absurd as her powers seemed stronger compared to the past. He knew that she was sealed like him, and it would take thousands of human hearts to recover, then how could she be this strong now?

'I only had a hundred humans till now.'

It will take tens of thousands of humans to reach her level. Ignoring that, she only leaned on Chun Yeowun.

“Did I do well~? He is nothing. He's just someone who plays with the dead. He's just a raccoon with a little power.”

“Raccoon?”

Woong!

And when she applied more force to the tail, the King of the Dead with blue eyes was dyed in blue light and changed.

He became a raccoon with a belly that was twice the size of a normal one.

“Kuaaak.”

The raccoon seemed to be in pain.

The white-haired man was disappointed. Who could have imagined the true form of the monster is a raccoon?

'How can this….'

All the plans he built in his mind turned insane. No matter what he did, Chun Yeowun was higher.

“Oye.”

He heard a muffled voice from behind. He couldn't turn. He knew who it was without turning.

“Demon… God.”

“Are the other ones alright? Hwang-heol, was it?”

At Chun Yeowuns's question, the white-haired man was shocked. He didn't think one of them would be mentioned by Chun Yeowun.

He couldn't respond.

Crack!

“Kuak!”

Chun Yeowun pierced his chest and grabbed his heart. Gloomy and chilling energy ran through his heart and spread throughout his body.

Jjkkk!

The white-haired man's body lost its life as if it was frozen. The white-haired man who was shaking his head fell with a groan.

And something rose from the body.

Shhh!

And with that, Chun Yewun smiled.

“Father, is that fine?”

Chun Woo-myung asked, wondering. He didn't like the idea of stopping his trip and coming back because of the incident. Chun Yeowun allowed him to continue.

“Hu Bong. Take care of him.”

“Yes! Lord. Hehe, I will look after the Young Lord.”

Hu Bong smiled at Chun Woo-myung, who couldn't hide his feelings. Actually, Hu Bong knew it would be like this.

Even if Chun Yeowun was a father, he was the Lord of the Sky Demon Order. And lions never raise their young ones to be weak.

Ko Wang-suk spoke with a bitter expression.

“Lord… I don't think I have the right to serve the Young Lord. Please choose a more suitable person to take care of him instead of me.”

Those were unexpected words coming from her, making Chun Woo-myung and Hu Bong look at her with puzzled eyes.

“Uh?”

“I am lacking.”

It felt like she had lost confidence in the face of an overwhelming enemy she had met for the first time.

Despite being afraid of her, Chun Woo-myung felt sorry and tried to comfort her, but…

'No. This might be better.'

This was better than dreading her presence every night. But Chun Yeowun was patting her on the shoulders and comforting her.

“This is also an experience. Have more confidence. Aren't you the daughter of Ko Wanghur and Hou Sang-hwa, who are famous for their strength?”

“L-Lord…”

She seemed shocked.

“Take care of my son.”

With that, her face turned red enough to explode. She turned with sparkling eyes and looked at Chun Woo-myung.

“You entrusted your son to me. What am I supposed—-”

Chun Woo-myung shouted at it.

“He didn't mean it like that!!!”

Well…thanks to that, the atmosphere of the group went back to normal.

Chun Woo-myung asked his father.

“Are you going back to the clan right away?”

“Well, there is a place I need to stop by, but I will be back. And there is a new toy too.”

Chun Yeowun looked at the raccoon caught in Golden Gumiho's tail.

The raccoon yelled,

“This! How dare a human call me a toy….”

Chun Yeowun clenched his finger near the raccoon's head.

Kwang!

“Kuak!”

One hit.

Just one hit was enough to make the King of the Dead scream and faint.

“He will have to be discipled.”

Chun Yeowun shook his head.

“See you later,”

Chun Yeowun said with a very gentle voice.

And the fox, too, greeted.

“My Woo-myung, let's meet later.”

Shhh!

And with the same shaking, they disappeared.

At this time, he seemed more like a God than a father. Chun Woo-myung smiled, looking at where his father vanished, then he asked Yun Jseo,

“Brother Yun. If it is fine, will you join us?”

At that, he responded.

“How can I say two things with a single mouth? The remaining colleagues of mine are… down. I will help you.”

It was an unexpected decision. The other colleagues either died here or turned to ghouls, so he had no reason to refuse when asked.

“It is nice to be with you.”

“Brother Chun!”

Grab!

Yun Jseo smiled and shook hands with him. No one in this place knew that their relationship would be so strong that Yun Jseo would be the right arm of the 25th Lord, Chun Woo-myung.

The residence of the Crown Prince.

With his arms and legs weirdly broken, the Crown Prince crawled to get out of the room.

“Kuaak… father… father… I need to tell him….”

He thought the only one to save him would be the emperor. Today, this room was spacious to the extent that he hated it.

Then he tried to reach the door.

'Little more… a little more….'

Shhh!

But a black shadow appeared in front, and as he looked at it, his face turned paler.

“Lo… Lord.”

Chun Yeowun was standing there. And with a smile, he asked.

“Did I take too long?”
