Descent Of The Demon Master [EN]: Chapter 2081

A sudden gust of strong wind caused the helicopter to shake uncontrollably.

“Aaaah!”

Kang Eun-young screamed. Gripping her seat tightly, she looked outside with trembling eyes.

“What wind is this…”

Dark clouds were gathering, and a strong wind was blowing.

It was as if a typhoon was heading north.

Whoooosh!

Another gust of wind pushed the helicopter sideways. As fear filled Kang Eun-young’s eyes, the person next to her reached out and grabbed her hand.

“…S-Sister.”

Kang Eun-young turned her head to look at Choi Yeon-ha.

Unlike her trembling self, Choi Yeon-ha was looking straight ahead with an unchanging expression.

“Don’t worry.”

“…Yes.”

Ko Han-bong glanced at Choi Yeon-ha.

‘She’s strong.’

Whether it was because of the many things she had experienced, or because she was an acquaintance of Kang Jin-ho, she felt solid.

Even he, who had survived the rough political world and was confident that he wouldn’t bat an eye at most things, was scared by how much the helicopter was shaking, but she didn’t change her expression.

No, it wasn’t just Choi Yeon-ha.

Kang Yu-hwan and Baek Hyun-jung, who were sitting next to him, also maintained unwavering postures.

‘Are they parents?’

Ko Han-bong slowly nodded. He, too, would jump into a fire if his son were in a similar crisis. For these two, braving a storm in the sky would be nothing.

Ko Han-bong turned his head slightly to look out the window.

‘But is this really a typhoon?’

If a typhoon had been predicted in the weather forecast, they wouldn’t have even tried to fly a helicopter. Especially not in China, not like in Korea.

Besides, the way the wind was blowing was very different from any typhoon he knew. Instead of a continuous strong wind, it was like a series of explosions, with gusts of wind suddenly hitting and then disappearing.

‘It’s like a series of huge explosions are happening.’

Combining the battle he saw on the screen, the current situation, and the reports he had received, the identity of this storm was clear.

But while his head understood, his body couldn’t comprehend the situation. How could he accept that a fight between people could create a storm?

‘Chairman…’

And how would others besides him accept this situation?

His mind was a mess.

“Prime Minister!”

At that moment, a desperate voice came from the secretary sitting next to him.

“We can’t fly any further forward. If we go any closer, there’s a high chance the helicopter will crash.”

“Hmm.”

“What should we do?”

Ko Han-bong nodded without hesitation.

“Secure a landing spot and call the vehicles that were waiting there! Quickly!”

“Yes!”

As soon as Ko Han-bong’s order was given, the helicopter began to descend rapidly. It was lucky that they had even made it this far through such strong winds.

And there was no need to look for a landing spot. This wasn’t a city, and China wasn’t mountainous like Korea. Everywhere they could see was a potential landing spot.

They just needed to find a place where vehicles could easily approach.

Thud thud thud!

The helicopter landed in an open space ahead with a rough propeller sound. Before the engine could even turn off, the door was violently opened, and Ko Han-bong jumped out of the helicopter.

“Where are the vehicles?”

“They haven’t reached their destination yet, but they’re on their way here now.”

“Tell them to hurry!”

“Yes!”

The secretary picked up the phone and ran forward. He was going to urge them on from a place where the propeller noise wasn’t too loud. Ko Han-bong, who had been anxiously watching, turned his gaze to the group getting out of the helicopter.

“Please wait a little longer. The vehicles will be here soon.”

“No, Prime Minister. It’s already too much that you’re doing this for us…”

Kang Yu-hwan bit his lip as he spoke.

He knew he should say thank you, but he couldn’t easily speak because of the emotions welling up inside him.

“How much further do we have to go?”

It was Choi Yeon-ha who spoke, not Kang Yu-hwan.

“It shouldn’t be too far. It’ll take about ten minutes by car.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded silently.

At that moment, a huge explosion and a massive storm hit them from the front, accompanied by an ear-splitting roar.

“Kyaaak!”

Kang Eun-young screamed and curled up.

Ko Han-bong, who had stepped back a couple of steps, added words that didn’t need to be said.

“…If we can even get that close.”

He wasn’t just saying that.

A typhoon is usually accompanied by a wide range of wind. But this wasn’t a typhoon. If this storm was really caused by the battle between Kang Jin-ho and the Black King, the closer they got, the more exponentially the impact would increase.

He wondered if ordinary people could withstand the impact and get close enough to see them.

And then.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Huh?”

Ko Han-bong turned his head at the unfamiliar voice from behind.

‘When?’

A group of people was approaching them. Ko Han-bong’s face instantly hardened with tension. This was China. They had rushed to China through the gate, so they didn’t have any bodyguards with them.

In such a situation, the unfamiliar group was enough to make Ko Han-bong tense.

But fortunately, the tension didn’t last long.

“Aigoo, damn it. That helicopter is so fast.”

A huge man who had been running at the front plopped down in front of them. He was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, like a bull after a bullfight.

Ko Han-bong, who found the man’s appearance strangely familiar, asked.

“Are you by any chance…?”

“Yes. I’m from the Association.”

Kong Young-gil waved his large hand. As if to tell them not to be nervous.

“How did you get here?”

“You have to use your head, Prime Minister. After you asked if you could go to China through the gate, we realized we could do that too.”

“Ah…”

“Instead of just pacing around in Korea, we thought it would be better to go and see for ourselves. If we just followed the people who went first, we’d naturally arrive.”

Ko Han-bong clicked his tongue.

That meant they had sent Ko Han-bong’s group through the gate and then followed them.

‘They came by helicopter…’

Even though they were superhuman, they were still people. How could they keep up with the speed of a helicopter?

“Ugh, I’m going to die.”

Kong Young-gil took a deep breath and pointed behind him.

“We’ll take care of getting you inside, so you don’t have to worry.”

Ko Han-bong nodded vigorously.

He didn’t know how, but it seemed that they understood the phenomenon happening in front of them better than he did. If they said they had a way, then they would somehow manage.

“Then what should we do? Should we wait for the vehicles?”

Ko Han-bong asked, but Kong Young-gil didn’t answer. He just stared at Choi Yeon-ha, who was standing next to Ko Han-bong.

As if the person he had to take orders from wasn’t Ko Han-bong, but Choi Yeon-ha.

“Director.”

“Yes.”

“What should we do? Should we wait for the vehicles, or should we carry you?”

Choi Yeon-ha answered without hesitation.

“Wait for the car.”

“Yes, we will do that.”

Kong Young-gil nodded immediately. Then, he looked behind him and shouted.

“A few of you go ahead and secure the vehicles! It’s better to secure a few cars than to wait for these slowpokes!”

“Got it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the superhumans ran forward.

“Please wait a little longer, Director. We’ll take you there soon.”

Choi Yeon-ha asked with a stiff face.

“Can we really get close?”

“Yes, we can. That’s why we came. Guys like me can only act as a shield in front, but we have people who use special techniques.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded.

It seemed that the mages who had opened the gate had come with them. Wiggens’ disciples, was it?

“And just in case that’s not enough, we’ve also requested support from the Round Table… from Europe. They’ll probably send their elites here. With them, we should be able to get close without any problems.”

Choi Yeon-ha nodded as if she understood.

If it were just her, she would risk going closer, but Kang Jin-ho’s family was here. If she exposed them to danger on her own, Kang Jin-ho would probably be furious.

He was very protective of his family.

‘Damn human.’

Choi Yeon-ha bit her lip.

Why didn’t a person who valued his family so much know that he was precious too?

“Hurry.”

“Yes. We’re securing the vehicles now…”

“Shut your mouth, you bastard.”

Kong Young-gil looked back with a sullen expression.

The Flame Demons were glaring at him with murderous eyes.

“If the Director says something, just say yes. Don’t add any other words.”

Kong Young-gil, who was about to say something, closed his mouth. The eyes of the Flame Demons glaring at him were not just fierce, but vicious.

“…Okay, you crazy bastards.”

Kong Young-gil clicked his tongue.

To him, Choi Yeon-ha was a director of the Association, but to the Flame Demons, she meant something completely different. The Flame Demons were loyal only to Kang Jin-ho, not the Association. To them, Choi Yeon-ha could not be just a director of the Association.

‘They’re like poisonous hedgehogs.’

Besides, Kang Jin-ho’s family was here. He understood why the Flame Demons’ eyes were filled with killing intent. They wouldn’t tolerate even the slightest scratch on them.

“We’ll take you there right away. Please wait a little longer, Director.”

“…Thank you.”

Choi Yeon-ha turned her head.

Kwarururururung!

Another storm blew in, and lightning struck through the dark clouds covering the sky.

It was a scene that made it seem like the world was about to collapse.

Choi Yeon-ha, who had been staring blankly at the scene, bit her lip until it bled.

Just as she clenched her fist, several vehicles came rushing towards them with a loud noise.

Screeeeeech!

As soon as the vehicles stopped, the doors opened.

“Director! You can get in!”

“Yes.”
