Chapter 210
Muyoung was lost in his thoughts for a moment .
Even though he was trying to join hands with Gremory, it wasn’t a problem for him to join hands with a devil to fulfill his needs .
To reach his goals, Muyoung was prepared to do whatever it took . Enduring, persevering and being patient weren’t the only ways .
“I must meet this devil . ”
“It will take about 7 days to contact him . What do you think about resting in the village in the meantime? I can’t say it will be comfortable but…”
Sungmin looked anxious .
As it was a place he created and developed on his own, he was slightly hesitant even though he was an elder lich .
“I will do so . ”
Rather than look around the village, he wanted to check out the assassins who were living here again . He had never expected Sungmin to find each and every one of them, and gather them to this place .
‘Slowly . Little by little . ”
He wanted to move forward even if it was only by a little .
Wouldn’t it be good to do things himself?
Although they might not make a big difference individually, these little things would all add up to change the world .
Muyoung didn’t know about a lot of things, but he knew about the truth .
***
Swooosh!
Shadows gathered on top of branches .
Men wearing masks . Muyoung was leading them from the very front .
Nod!
After looking into each other’s eyes, they nodded .
The sign for starting the mission .
The target was the man called the Lion King .
He was called the Lion King because he had a brown beard like a mane . He held a huge greatsword that had a symbol of a lion and made his enemies fall like leaves of a tree .
Why must they kill him?
There was no reason . They just followed orders to kill .
It was the same for all the assassins who were gathered here at this place .
“Just pups are gathered here!”
On a narrow hill, the attack began .
Numerous assassination techniques, and traps they had placed beforehand . They attacked his weaknesses .
However, the Lion King didn’t die . Although he did receive a huge wound, he grew much stronger, like the sun shining brighter before it sets .
The assassins felt the unexpected change . They tried to withdraw before attacking once more, but his reinforcements were approaching .
Then, the assassins decided on who they should sacrifice .
Starting from the weakest one, they threw themselves into the Lion King’s grasp .
Without hesitation .
While the Lion King sliced up the body, another assassin attacked the Lion King from his back .
That was how the assassins died with the weakest one first . They left the stronger assassins alive, those who had a higher chance to kill the Lion King .
Then, only Muyoung was left .
“Just ‘cause a bunch of pups come after me, do you think you could kill a lion…?!”
Stab!
Muyoung pierced a dagger into the middle of the Lion King’s forehead .
And without regrets, he turned back .
Even when Muyoung was the only one alive after completing the mission, Muyoung didn’t feel any emotions .
It was a world where the weak died and the strong lived . Just that .
***
As he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling .
‘Sungmin’s village…’
Muyoung shook his head .
The dream had felt so real, that he wondered if he was dreaming when he woke up .
However, soon Muyoung remembered how he was invited to Sungmin’s village and was staying here .
He felt like he slept well for the first time in a long time .
He felt like he had laid in bed for a few days .
This place felt right to him .
Muyoung got up and headed out after making the basic preparations .
A lot of people, who were assassins in the past, lived here .
“Hehehe . ”
“Uhhhhhhhh… . ”
However, they looked miserable as they leaned against their house or rolled on the ground laughing .
They were still unable to free themselves from Wung Chunglin’s brainwashing, and were suffering .
Among them, there were assassins who Muyoung saw in his dream .
Muyoung looked at them subtly .
Comradery . There was nothing of sort . They helped Muyoung because they wanted to increase the chance of completing the mission .
But, what was this strange feeling?
Of course, he must not help them .
Chunglin’s brainwashing was something that shouldn’t be meddled with . If someone couldn’t overcome it on their own, a powerful reaction would occur .
“Muyoung, my master is calling you . ”
A man with a mask appeared in front of him .
The man was also an assassin . However, he was able to be overcome some degree of the brainwashing, and was acting as an informant .
“He said a visitor has arrived . ”
Muyoung nodded his head .
It had only been 5 days since he entered the village .
It was a bit faster than he had expected, but he needed to see the devil if he had arrived . As it could be a devil he was familiar with .
***
A devil with black hair and black skin was drinking tea .
Muyoung knew the moment he saw him .
No, from the moment he woke up, he knew .
That a quite strong devil who had the powers of darkness had entered the village .
“Hmm?”
The devil turned his head .
And looked at Muyoung .
Then, the devil’s eyes became large .
Was it because he could read the darkness that could be felt from Muyoung?
“Who are you? I have not seen a demon king like you, but…”
He said Muyoung was a demon king .
He wasn’t wrong .
However, he was curious .
“Why do you think I’m a demon king?”
“Because I’m a demon king . Isn’t it natural for demon kings to recognize another?”
Muyoung raised the tip of one of his eyebrows .
One demon god had a few dozen to a few hundred demon kings; therefore, there was no way for Muyoung to know them all .
“Well, someone like you would only be here for a ‘trade’, right? It doesn’t matter whose vassal you are or whose vassal I am . Isn’t that right?”
The demon king spoke first in order to check .
Whether he would make a trade or not .
He didn’t seem like a normal devil… if he was really a demon king, he didn’t seem to be ordinary .
He needed to check because, to a demon king, a demon god was an absolute being . For the demon god he serves, he needed to do whatever was ordered .
“It doesn’t matter . ”
