Descent of the Demon God-Chapter 131: TRA (2)

Wei Hae-sang frowned at what he heard.

It was understandable that Manager Kang was laughing.

'To become the best in Murim… he came down the mountain? Ha!'

He was speechless.

As a result of this man's actions, most of the special ability people in the Western Public Security Bureau were taken to the emergency room, and he wants to be the best in Murim?

'Because of the warning order in the TRA region, I am already on the edge.'

The city was in a state of chaos.

Due to the state of emergency that was issued, the State Council had decided to call the available reserve forces of each agency and provide support.

The western area was included in it, and this was the fourth time.

"What is his name?"

"He said it was Sayogi."

"Sayogi?"

It was an odd name, but the attitude and the face seemed to go well with the unique name.

The man called Sayogi, who was eating the delicious pork legs, raised his head and looked out the window.

It was as if he was looking through it.

"They can't see from that side, right?"

"Yes. But it doesn't seem like the interrogation room's glass would work on him."

"Now what shit is that?"

"When someone comes into the observation room, he acts up and guesses it. Besides, he seems to know if the person entering is a new one or not."

"Huh."

The more one knew about him, the more terrifying the man would seem.

He was put in the special room made for people with abilities, yet that didn't work on him.

Does this mean that this man could actually escape any time he wanted to?

"How is such a person being submissive?"

At that time, director Ahn Jung-yun answered.

"He asked for a permit for weapons."

The first time Sayogi was exposed was at the underground high-speed station in Xian. Over there, he was caught trying to pass through the checkpoint without an ID and weapons permit.

Naturally, the officers wanted to confiscate the weapons, but it ended up backfiring.

"Hmm."

Wei Hae-sang looked at the man called Sayogi. He couldn't understand what this man was thinking.

He looked at the other two and said.

"I will head into the interrogation room."

"Huh? Secretary general will? Sir, it could be dangerous. No, sir, you could be seriously hurt, the man there…"

"No. enough. According to what you said, if he wanted to, he could have done a lot of things already."

"That is true, but."

Although they tried to stop him, the man seemed adamant on going in.

From the weapons on the table, Wei Hae-sang took a sword.

'Heavy.'

The sword alone was quite heavy, and the man carried so many things with him? That meant he should be a lot stronger.

Click!

When he entered the interrogation room, Sayogi looked at him as he was eating.

And then looked at the sword.

"I was promised that it wouldn't be touched."

It seemed more like a warning than a question.

"Rather than that, you have a lot of weapons, are you carrying them because you can use them all?"

Sayogi didn't eat anymore and reached out.

Shh!

"Ah?"

At that time, both the sword and the sheath were pulled towards him at the same time, like a fish caught in the bait.

It looked like the sword was made to fly.

If any Murim warriors saw it, they would have been shocked.

Shh!

As it flew, the sword rushed for its sheath at the same time.

"Huk!"

Wei Hae-sang closed his eyes.

Chak!

As the sword entered the sheath precisely, he was quite surprised that he went stiff.

Sayogi put the food back in his mouth and said,

"Managing hand to hand combat is the basis of White Martial Blade."

"Hand to hand? White martial?"

Wei Hae-sang didn't know what it meant, but he knew one thing for sure.

'He is a strong warrior.'

When he experienced it right in front of his eyes, he was definite.

And he opened his mouth.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Nope. But you're called the Secretary general. What is a secretary general and why would I know you? I don't know because my grandfather didn't teach me that."

Wei Hae-sang's eyes went wide.

'Did he hear our conversation in the observation room?'

The next room was soundproofed, so no one could listen to what was happening inside.

'But he talks as…'

Something was strange. This man seemed to be using an old-fashioned drama's martial warriors technique.

The fact that this man was with his grandfather till now meant there was credibility in what was being said.

'He learnt everything from his grandfather?'

If it was just the two of them, then why did his grandfather teach this man to listen to other people's conversations?

"Hm. I am the one authorized to give you a weapons license."

"… really?"

At that, Sayogi stopped eating and showed interest. The man seemed quite honest about his feelings.

He knew how valuable getting the license was to stop being pulled out for handling weapons.

"Give me! My grandfather told me to be sure to repay what was done, and be self-employed! I will repay you for the favor."

Sayogi smiled and held out his hand.

Looking at the way he talked, the man seemed naïve, like a man who didn't know that his hands were cruel.

"Are you aware of the term equivalent exchange?"

"Equivalent Exchange?"

"If you want something, you need to pay a price for it."

"Didn't I say I would return the favor?"

"Before that, you even carried weapons illegally and harmed government officials. Actually, you should be put in jail."

Sayogi answered as he didn't understand what was being said.

"Government? You mean officials? But aren't officials and Murims inviolable? That is what I have learned from my grandfather."

"How long have you been in the mountains?"

"Uhh… I was taken to Death Valley by grandfather when I was around 7 years old. It has to be around 90 years back."

"What?"

Wei Hae-sang was confused.

No matter how much he looked, this man seemed to be in his early thirties, did it make sense that he's been in the mountains for 90 years?

"Why are you making that face? Don't you believe me?"

He asked.

"I did hear about the most talented warriors in Murim having their bodies transformed to younger selves and living a long life, but would anyone believe that you are close to 100 if your face is like that?"

"Ehhh! What is so special about this? You see, my grandfather has thousand…"

Sayogi, who was trying to say something by waving his hand, went silent.

"Thousand?"

"Nothing! Anyway, I learned from grandfather that the officials and Murims are inviolable, isn't that right?"

Wei Hae-sang's head throbbed. He didn't know from where to begin. This man knew nothing about the current world, as if he existed in a different time.

In the end, Sayogi was informed about everything that had happened and about the Murim coming under the control of the government due to the First Dimension Gate incident.

Sayogi, who listened to it as if listening to a story, shook his head and mumbled.

"Oh my, I guess even my grandfather didn't know a lot about the world. There is not a single true thing from everything he told me."

It seemed like his grandfather was away from society for a long time as well.

Sayogi asked,

"Anyway, do you mean that I need to register as a Murm before I work as one?"

"Now we seem to be understanding each other."

Wei Hae-sang liked this man who was finally understanding him.

'Such an innocent one.'

And there was just one thing left to do.

"Well, even if you don't register as a Murim, you will be able to possess a weapon if you become a Gate Keeper. Fame will be yours as well."

"Oh. Was there such a way?"

"Yes. Because I am in a high position in the defense department and the one responsible for the Gate Keepers."

Wei Hae-sang was trying to get the man to become a Gate Keeper.

However, it didn't work out.

"But I apologize. I would rather register as a Murim."

No matter what was said, this man remained the same.

"Didn't you say you would repay the favor?"

"How can a person who wants to be the best in Murim take a different path? Please understand me taking the way of the warrior."

'Crazy.'

He thought that Sayogi was naïve and that he could manipulate him, but it didn't work out.

'Okay, then let's change the way.'

"Then don't do this. The people you sent to the emergency room were the ones who were called for emergency during the TRA crisis. You made them like that because of an accident, so you will attend the emergency call as a Gate Keeper just this one time, we will give you an ID and a weapons permit. How is it?"

"Uhm."

Wei Hae-sang wanted this man to see what he wanted him to be. And Sayogi seemed to think about the proposal.

However, it wasn't easy to confirm if the man was going to agree or not.

'I was mistaken. I thought he didn't know about the world and was an idiot.'

Wei Hae-sang clicked his tongue. According to the man, he was 100 years old, which meant he wasn't too stupid.

"You. Didn't you say you wanted to be the best in Murim? Then, shouldn't you build a reputation?"

"… right."

"If you play a role in TRA, your name as a Murim warrior will be widely known."

"Hmmm."

"Did you know that famous Murim people are participating in the TRA this time?"

"Famous Murim?"

Finally, Sayogi seemed to be fully interested.

"Famous… you mean the strongest ones?"

Sayogi had the dream of being the best in Murim, so it was natural for him to show interest in this.

"Yes. Chun Mu-seong, who is the hottest topic these days, some of the Five Great Warriors, and other strong people are participating."

"Strong people of Murim?"

"The greatest of the Murim people."

"Oh oh! Is that true?"

For Sayogi, taking down on Five Great Warriors was his way to become the best.

"Okay. Then I accept the proposal."

Without hesitation, Sayogi accepted the offer. In a way, it was like meeting each other's needs.

Wei Hei-sang thought he should make good use of this chance and raise the status of Gate Keepers through this when Sayogi asked.

"But, is the one called Chun Mu-seong stronger than the Five Great Warriors?"

A high-rise office with a good night view in Gwangju. The luxuriously decorated office was where the dead Hagar stayed.

Chun Yeowun reached there under the guidance of Mun Il-hyang, the current head of the Ohsin group and was looking through the belongings.

Mun Il-hyang looked at him and thought.

'How did it end up like this?'

Mun Il-hyang's face looked like it aged 10 years over the last hours.

It was because his Dantian was destroyed by Chun Yeowun in return for keeping his life.

It would have been better if that was all.

Trickle!

The slashed part of his right arm was painful. Taking the arm of a swordsman had a significant mental effect. But he didn't complain.

[Is there any reason to keep you, a minion working for those demons, alive?]

His weakness was figured out.

If it was known to the world that the chairman of the Murim Association was a slave working for the existences beyond the Gate, his family would be over.

'That devil!'

As if the arm wasn't enough, Chun Yeowun took a lot more.

He took the personal slush funds that Mun Il-hyang collected and the stocks of the Ohsin group that he owned. Besides, he ordered to move the main office to another region, pledge allegiance and join the Sky Demon Order.

Only after agreeing to all that did he assure his survival.

'I should have fought till the end or killed myself.'

He regretted it, but he could do nothing now. He didn't have the confidence to win against this monster who destroyed the other beings as if they were nothing.

Despite being in a miserable situation, he managed to survive.

"Hmm."

Chun Yeowun searched Hagar's office and found a hidden space in the shower room.

Inside was a safe with a security device.

When he hacked and opened it, it contained a cylinder with a paper roll and a gold pattern on it and a tablet PC.

'Extract all information in the tablet, Nano.'

[Yes.]

Of course, the tablet was secured, but Nano had no difficulty unlocking it. The tablet contained quite a lot of information.

It told about Hagar's Schedule. What caught Chun Yeowun's attention was that there was a monthly schedule to attend the black market auction of the MS Group.

'What?'

He had no idea what MS would pop up here.

Looking at Hagar's schedule, he knew that the man personally attended it and didn't send a proxy. Moreover, it was marked in red as if it was important, and it seemed like Hagar desperately needed something from the auction.

'What?'

There was no further information.

So his gaze turned to the cylinder with a gold pattern.

'How to open this?'

He tried to open it, but it didn't have a lid or device attached to it. And then Nano said,

[It isn't an item from the earth.]

'Not from earth?'

[As a result of analyzing the materials, it is composed of substances that don't exist on earth.]

Chun Yeowun narrowed his eyes.

If so, then there was a high chance that this thing was from beyond the Gate, the place where these demons lived.

'Any way to open it?'

[I don't know since it isn't a human technology.]

'Hm…'

If it couldn't be opened right away, then there was only one way to open it.

Break it open.

Chun Yeowun tried to break it with force, but it was so strong that nothing happened.

'Cut it?'

This time, he raised sword energy and drew it to the cylinder.

He was careful to only cut the outer part and not damage what was inside.

Clash!

But nothing happened to it.

'Then this?'

Chun Yeowun drew out an invisible sword and used it carefully. Once it was split open, it showed a paper inside.

When he opened the large piece of paper which was rolled like a scroll, there was a picture on it.

Seeing that, Chun Yeowun's eyes shone.

'Huh? This…'

In the picture, there was an armour covering the entire body, but it looked familiar.

It was the armour's wrist guard, which surprisingly had the same shape as the one on Chun Yeowun's right hand.

'Why are they so similar?'

Chun Yeowun, who was puzzled by it, unconsciously put his hand on the wrist guard in the picture.

Shhh!

'What?'

The picture of the wrist guard came to life like an animation and then disassembled and changed to an image in the form of a sword.

Which was,

'Sky Demon Sword!'
