The Return of The Crazy Demon Chapter 161

Chapter 161 – Please Curse Me.

The wooden sword, which wasn't even named yet, was so light making my movements seem lighter too.

I am light and so is the wooden sword.

Thanks to that, I jump around like a frog swinging a wooden sword. The wooden sword is so thin that others avoid colliding with it.

It moves, cutting down the body of the opponent. The leg, then it jumps up to the head.

After avoiding the moving swords, I accurately cut down the ankle of one bandit. The enemies that were called the demons couldn't move as lightly as I was, so slashing them was easy.

At least the more experienced guys finally jumped off their horses and swung their swords, but I moved while spilling blood. Before they could do anything, their blood was gushing out.

In a state of moving and stabbing the enemies with the light wooden sword I make sure to not kill them in one hit.

Only then did the bandits try to raise a flare from their chest. I immediately go to cut it down along with the wrist holding it.

Puak!

“Kwaaak!”

The guy held his wrist and screamed in pain. As he continued to scream, Leader Hwang immediately swung his sword to take off his head.

I wasn't interested in this fight of his, so I watch the guys running away and say in a mixed voice,

“Can you run away at your current pace?”

After asking this question which I knew wouldn't get an answer, I rushed to the bandit ahead of me. I smash his head with the blade of the sword, and throw the sword at the bandit fleeing north as soon as I land on the ground.

Flames break out on the blade.

Wheik!

To slaughter people down in such a short time, I seem preoccupied.

After confirming that the wooden sword penetrated the back of the demon running, I turned around and threw an ice qi ball into my sheath and threw it at the back of another demon fleeing.

In the air, the frozen white sheath flies and pierces the back of the demon.

Puak!

When I turn my head….

Leader Hwang is competing with three bandits at the same time. After looking at them for a while, I recognized that Leader Hwang was coping with stab, slash, cut, and vertical slashes.

It was a fight that revealed that he was clearly taught, and this showed the guy was no idiot.

I began to use light footwork and then moved by lowering my form like a wolf. I grabbed onto the foot of the demon running with both hands as he was attempting to cut Leader Hwang.

He started to scream in fear.

“Euk, eukkk!”

While I infused ice qi, I grabbed his feet and lifted him up to smash his head to the ground.

Puak!

As the lower half of his body becomes frozen hard, I throw him at another demon. In the meantime, Leader Hwang manages to rush and slash the head of another fleeing demon.

Looking around, I pick up a large stone and aim it at the back of a fleeing bandit. The stone grazes the side of Leader Hwang and hits the bandit.

Puak!

Leader Hwang, who pursued him, cuts his head right away.

Silence falls upon the messy wilderness.

Regaining my calm, I say,

“All dead?”

To which Leader Hwang says,

“Yes.”

Looking around, all the bandits belonging to this fight died.

As I brush away the blood on the sword, Leader Hwang looks at me. Before he can say anything, the startled horses begin to run away. I watch as they run in groups.

It was difficult to know right away if the horses were running back to the bandit base or just running.

“Leader Hwang, come.”

Leader Hwang comes running and I tell him what to do.

“If you go through their things and find something like beef jerky,”

“Yes.”

“First, cut off a bit of it with a sword, place it where there are lots of ants, and check it by eating it later. And water too.”

“Yes.”

“If there is anything else to take, take it and lightly cover the bodies with soil. Anyway, if the dust blows they should be covered soon.”

“Yes.”

I retrieve my sheath and Leader Hwang starts covering the corpses now. There was no reason to be either happy or sad because all we took down was a simple scouting group.

Suddenly, I decide to go and pick up the signal flare that fell down earlier and I examine it. it was a cylinder that could be launched by pulling a string with a red feather attached to the end. Bandits couldn't have made something like this, so it looked like they had an escort service behind or robbed someone with them.

I passed it to Leader Hwang.

“Get this.”

“Yes”

“It looks like the leader got killed by the bandits.”

Leader Hwang stares blankly.

“Probably. It seems that even if an escort service had failed in this place, there is no one to call for help here, so it was all taken away when they defeated the escort service.”

Leader Hwang replies as he puts the flare inside,

“I will handle it.”

The two of us sit down near a corpse and take a break. Leader Hwang holds out a leather pouch.

“Have some water.”

After receiving the leather bag, I poured it on the ground to check the water and then quenched my thirst with it.

Leader Hwang says,

“Couldn't find any jerky.”

I nod and look around.

“There could be people coming for them. If these people don't go back then another unit will come. How to handle that?”

“It isn't difficult, but I cannot figure out the number of enemies so I think we will have to preserve our stamina.”

“All of them are on horsebacks, so there is often enough gap to attack them. But if everyone gets off their horses and fights us by surrounding us then things will get difficult.”

“Yes.”

I observe his expression and ask,

“How…. do you think you'll die today?”

“You want me to die?”

I smile as I say,

“If I wanted you dead, I could have killed you with my own hands. But surviving and taking down more bandits like this, walking towards death is better.

Leader Hwang nods and asks,

“Sect Leader, you are young, but why do you have so much experience?”

“Leader Hwang, although I am younger than you, I have tried and did many things to survive. You probably don't know because you were making by comfortably.”

The guy tilts his head back bursting into laughter and drinks water. I will check his condition later.

“You still have energy left to fight?”

“Very much. There is more to do.”

I nod.

“Looks like there is enough for the task.”

He was speaking with confidence so I couldn't believe what he said.

Leader Hwang asks me,

“What about Sect Leader?”

“I haven't even used my internal qi yet.”

After all, confidence is something which should be on my side. I nod and he nods as he says,

“I saw the sword shining red and the sheath turning white.”

“In the wilderness you often see odd things.”

Suddenly Leader Hwang puts his head a little down towards the ground.

“… coming.”

“They should come.”

Along the horizon, three or four bandits could be seen. They were pointing their swords in our direction and, in the meantime, the number of bandits increased.

Suddenly, Leader Hwang sighs as he watches the number of bandits growing.

“Sect Leader. I suddenly feel like my confidence is drained. Can you please curse me?”

“How do you want it? Moderately? Or strong?”

The number of bandits quickly increased to forty or fifty. It looks like they are calling out to the spreading bandits while shouting amongst themselves. Whenever bandits began to join in one after another, the direction the sword pointed to was at us.

Leader Hwang counts the bandits around and says,

“Do it strong.”

I stand holding my wooden sword and look at the bandits who are filling the horizon on the left and right.

“… you seem to have no fucking brain left in you. If you die to their hands then you are a fucking trashed cripple. Leader Hwang.”

“Yes.”

Leader Hwang gets up and draws his sword.

The bandits raise their swords high, not speaking much. Then they move on their horses shouting. In an instant, dust rises and the band of bandit's rush in faster all at once.

“I am a mind cripple then?”

“Highest kind.”

“Well… is there no strategy?”

“None. Even if the Zegal family comes, they won't get any.”

Suddenly, Leader Hwang sighs with dejected emotions.

Holding the wooden sword, I recited a prayer of Buddhism.

“Poor horses. Do not be born as an animal in the next world.”

I pass Leader Hwang and walk ahead, hoping that the animals get a nice second life.

'Is the reason why the bandits are screaming like this because they are also ready for death?'

I can't tell.

I just pull my sword out as I get close to the bandits in front of me. I pull the sword out infused with external qi and sword qi and swing it.

Swish!

A crescent shaped slash passes through as it stretches out hitting the legs of the running horses. In an instant the legs of the horses are cut making the bandits riding them fall. The following bandits rushing after them trample ahead and fall down, forcing the second and third rows to become all tangled.

Only then did I use light footwork.

Suddenly, the mindset of myself from the previous life swells into my heart, and I open my mouth comfortably, just like when I got called the Crazy Demon.

“… surrender will not be accepted. It is no use getting on your knees. I will chase those running away and beat them to death. Anyone who dares to attack me will be killed right away.”

Ah, the craziness was soaring.

I am confused on whether or not I had regressed to the past life, or if I was still in this life just in a state of confusion. A state in which killing intent slowly gets added.

'Why were these bastards even born?'

Is it that there is no end even if I beat and cut them to death each time?

It has been a long time since I felt the feeling of entering the gates of hell. One day, I will have no wish when I see a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand enemies running at once. In the end, in order for me to not go crazy, I would have to reach a far higher ground.

I clenched my right hand around the wooden sword and, looking at the rushing enemies, I leaped into the sky.

There is no way I can reach the sky, but I soar as much as I can. When I feel that the direction of the jump and the force has reached its apex point, I crouch down and make the Crazy Wind surround me.

Now I was like a sphere. The shape of my madness.

I spin like a ball swinging a sword which had a blade piercing through. The long screams of the dead as I feel like a ball comforted me.

Nice.

Those who should die, must die.

Bye now, bandits.

Die, bandits.

Be blessed, horses.

I spin as hard as I can and burst into laughter.

“Since all this happened, just die.”

I swing the sword without even considering my physical condition. If I want to kill them directly with a sword, I can. If I wanted to stab with sword qi, I could do that too.

Chase and kill those who run. The one who confronted me would come up occasionally, but their entire body would be torn off. I judged that I had consumed too much of my qi energy, so whenever I would come to senses I would swing the sword and slice up the bodies of the bandits.

Cut, stab, slash.

Crack, tear, pierce.

Suddenly, there are many bandits who are running with distorted expressions on their faces, and I have to use ice qi in all directions with my sword.

There are so many of them running away in various directions that even I feel dizzy now. In an instant, I mount a horse and begin to chase after the fleeing bandits.

“… do not run.”

I warned them right there but still, too many of them ran so my words held no weight to them.

As if intimidating the bandits I saw in my previous life, I use the horse to run ahead. I then clamp the torso of the horse with my feet for support and then slant a little to the right to cut off the running bandits' necks, and, in an instant, I shout at the bandits.

“Yah! You fucking bastards! I told you to not run!”

I move on the horse, stick the fleeing bandits, and trample on a few with the hooves of the horse. I hear a familiar voice from somewhere and when I look, I see the familiar face running to me.

“Sect Leader! Sect Leader!”

I reply with frowning eyes.

“What? What are you doing without fighting?”

The subordinate ignores my words and looks around and only then did I check the surroundings. The numerous corpses all over the place, bandit's corpses.

The subordinate is angry at me.

“You have to fight when there is someone who can fight!”

I nod, taking a deep breath. Come to think of it, he wasn't a subordinate I had in the previous life.

“You must be Leader Hwang.”

He yells back at me.

“What nonsense is that! I am Leader Hwang!”

“Why are you shouting? Do not get excited.”

“… sigh.”

Stroking the back of the horse I was riding, I say,

“Wah, you are such a good horse. Good and strong too.”

Looking at me like that, Leader Hwang sighs.

“This is fucking insane. Really.”
