Disciple Of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 213

The law of the world, and the law of species.

It’s the law of Gehenna [a demon realm].

‘If a lower demon succeeds in hunting a higher demon.’

Moreover, if that hunted lower demon is a contracted being subordinate to the higher demon.

‘They inherit all the power and rights.’

Everything is inherited through the demon’s contract.

It’s a simple thing to say, but in reality, such things rarely happen.

Especially between a demon and a non-demon.

‘If it’s a demon and a human.’

In fact, they are half-exempt from that law.

Originally, even if Viper had hunted Satia, he might not have been able to inherit the rights and power.

Aside from the impossible, Viper was human, not a demon.

But Lee Rowan intervened.

With magic essence, and….

Kwaaaaaaa!

Through the Demon King’s mark, he gave Viper the qualification of a demon.

What’s happening now is the result.

Viper’s enormous power pouring out, becoming a black pillar soaring into the sky.

Hwaaaak!

And it spread out, beginning to dye the area in darkness.

What Lee Rowan wanted.

‘A being that is both human and demon.’

It could be said to be the birth of a new species.

There have been quite a few cases of humans becoming demons, but Viper is different.

A being that is human, yet a demon.

He is not bound by the restrictions of a demon, yet possesses the power of a demon.

Kwaaaaaaa!

He will become a new existence that has never existed before.

The darkness that covered the sky gathers again and falls towards Viper.

Viper’s body, enveloped in darkness, begins to grow even larger.

It’s like another metamorphosis.

Thud!

Viper’s body, which had risen, touched the ground, making a heavy noise.

The horn on his head is incredibly huge.

‘Haa.’

The magic power that comes out as he exhales.

His presence begins to cover the area.

‘Haa.’

Viper’s two pupils were dyed pitch black.

With those eyes, Viper looked at Lee Rowan.

‘…….’

Viper’s change could be said to be the creation of a new magic essence within him.

The symbol of a demon, and magic essence, brought great changes to its owner.

Power too.

‘To think there’s such power….’

Thoughts too.

The desire for destruction and slaughter.

The desire for lies and deception.

It’s unknown what he has gained.

However.

Swoosh.

Viper’s thoughts could change.

Instead of thinking he was indebted to Lee Rowan, he might feel that Lee Rowan is an obstacle, or even prey to be devoured.

‘And you are….’

Viper, who can fully use the power of a demon here, not in Gehenna, would now be at the level of a guardian dragon.

Viper, who was examining Lee Rowan with his black eyes.

Kooong!

He knelt on one knee as if slamming it into the ground.

Newborn Viper, in his eyes.

‘I swear to become your servant.’

Lee Rowan, who he could never defy.

‘Anything.’

He must not defy.

‘Just give the order.’

He felt like his king.

‘That’s enough.’

Lee Rowan said, as if satisfied.

* * *

A silver-haired girl stood blankly.

Ice Empress.

One of the true rulers of the lawless zone, and she was being manipulated by Satia.

Originally, she should have died.

In the process of defeating Satia, her magic essence should have been broken due to the termination of the contract, and she should have met her death.

But.

‘She’s alive….’

She was alive.

Swoosh.

She raises her head.

‘I am….’

Certainly, when she asked Lee Rowan, Lee Rowan said.

That he couldn’t save her.

That’s what she thought.

‘I said I’d show you a way to live, right?’

Lee Rowan says, looking at her.

‘What you asked for was to be saved.’

But he said it was impossible to save her.

That was.

‘I couldn’t save you.’

That he couldn’t free her from the contract she had with Satia.

However, Lee Rowan freed her from Satia and saved her.

‘What does that….’

‘You can feel it, right?’

Lee Rowan said, bringing his hand to the Ice Empress’s head.

The horn that protruded.

‘That I couldn’t save you from the contract you made.’

Her contract was still in place.

Satia was gone, but the contract she had with her remained.

Only the subject had changed.

‘Then….’

The Ice Empress said, looking up at Lee Rowan.

Sway.

Her bangs fluttered in the breeze, revealing her eyes.

‘You will have to live subordinate to Viper from now on. All your people too.’

Her pupils tremble.

‘What will you order us to do?’

‘What did Satia order you to do?’

The Ice Empress mumbled and answered.

‘I was her toy. Someone she could manipulate at will.’

‘At least.’

Lee Rowan’s answer to that.

‘I won’t use you as a toy.’

The Ice Empress’s eyes trembled once more.

And.

Trickle.

A drop of water flowed down her cheek.

‘That’s enough.’

That was her answer.

The Ice Empress would have to become Viper’s hands and feet from now on.

All the martial artists of the Northern Sea Ice Palace too.

But the treatment they receive will be different.

Even their purpose.

‘You will have to completely take control of the lawless zone and find the gate.’

The reason why he needed a demon.

‘The gate of Gehenna.’

It was because he felt the intervention of Gehenna and felt the need to find them.

Unlike the mixed-in Eun and Einheart, Gehenna had never clearly revealed its true nature even while fighting a war with the entire Earth.

Like a gate, it would appear and disappear in an instant, only revealing its appearance when needed.

That’s why they are needed.

‘Demons with magic essence will be able to feel it. Now, whenever the gate of Gehenna, your world, opens, your magic essence will shake and you will feel a sensation. That is your role.’

That’s all.

‘That’s enough.’

There will be additional things to do, but that’s not the part she needs to worry about.

‘Just do your job well. Then it will be no different from freedom.’

Behind her, the martial artists of the Northern Sea Ice Palace, with their bruised and crushed faces, were slowly approaching.

The martial artists of the Northern Sea Ice Palace that Lee Rowan had frozen.

They were thawed according to Lee Rowan’s will, freed from Satia, and regained their will.

Thud.

Numerous people.

The Ice Empress is their representative.

‘We….’

As if they had prepared, the Ice Empress takes something out from her bosom.

In her hand was a white mask.

‘We will become the master’s watchers.’

The Ice Empress and the martial artists begin to lift and wear their masks.

It will cover their broken appearances and become another fear.

‘We thank you on behalf of everyone.’

In the distance, Viper can be seen.

Perhaps it was him, who had newly become a demon, who had cleaned up the area by using those contracted with Satia.

And behind him.

Shaking their heads.

Baek Cheong and the Special Task Force members were visible.

* * *

Viper succeeded Satia, and the Ice Empress became Lee Rowan’s.

But that didn’t mean the entire lawless zone was cleaned up in an instant.

‘It won’t take long.’

Lee Rowan smiled at Viper’s words.

‘Didn’t you want to get out of the lawless zone?’

What Viper had dreamed of so much was to be freed from Satia and return to Shaolin.

And to punish the evil spirit that had taken root in Shaolin with his own hands.

‘Didn’t you say we had to be watchers?’

Viper also smiles.

‘Shaolin is no longer important to me.’

Everything changed as he was reborn.

‘What I must follow and what I must know is only your will.’

His very foundation had changed.

‘What you want will also be achieved. Make sure you become the definite ruler of the lawless zone, you can even create five kings or whatever you want.’

‘I will keep that in mind.’

The Ice Empress will help such Viper.

The work here is done.

‘Haa.’

A sigh coming from the side.

‘What about him?’

Baek Cheong asked directly, as if she didn’t want to think about it any more complicatedly.

It was about No. 2, Yang Sa-hwi, whom she had sent.

‘He’s dead.’

‘Well, I guess so. How was it?’

‘…….’

Lee Rowan, who had been silent for a moment, speaks.

‘It seems like they’re planning to mass-produce such things.’

‘What?’

‘Yang Sa-hwi is just a test subject. At least a hundred of the same things as Yang Sa-hwi will be created.’

A dark shadow fell on Baek Cheong’s relaxed face.

She knew what it meant to have a hundred masters like Yang Sa-hwi.

With that level of power.

‘Jongnam will be annihilated in a single day.’

It was a level of power that even Jongnam, one of the Nine Great Sects, would not be able to withstand for a day.

‘……Are you going to leave it alone?’

Lee Rowan smiled at Baek Cheong’s words.

‘I know. I’m not going to just rely on you. If the Assembly is doing such a thing….’

Something settled in Baek Cheong’s eyes.

She, who had a gun, was lost in deep thought.

‘I’ll have to move too.’

In her own way.

‘I’ve already told them about No. 2. That he died while interfering in the battle of the Assembly.’

Now that the work here is done.

‘Let’s go. No. 5.’

Lee Rowan had to become a member of the Special Task Force again.

Baek Cheong says with a playful smile.

Lee Rowan looked at Viper.

‘The border is open. I’ve also prepared a guide.’

The mission of the Special Task Force.

‘You can go to Einheart now.’

They head to Einheart across the border.

In the distance, the members are standing awkwardly.

Even if they don’t know the details, they know that Viper has become a new member of the Assembly.

And that Lee Rowan is the one who has done a favor to that Viper.

‘Do you want to be the leader?’

‘Don’t talk nonsense.’

‘Well, it’s okay. You have your own work to do.’

Baek Cheong and Lee Rowan began to walk.

Behind him, Viper and the Ice Empress stood.

‘What are you doing?’

Baek Cheong calls out to the members.

They also slowly stood behind and began to walk together.

A path opened where no one could stop them.

‘Oh, and.’

Lee Rowan says to Viper.

‘Make sure to find the enemy forces.’

‘I will keep that in mind as well.’

Now the work here is truly over.

* * *

‘These are faces I’ve never seen before?’

A man with a thick golden beard said.

‘What affiliation are you?’

His narrow eyes were clearly filled with suspicion and vigilance.

If they were to do anything foolish, he looked like he could draw his sword and cut off their heads right away.

‘Rediac Mercenary Group.’

At the short words, his eyes became even narrower.

He was checking something using a tablet, then he grinned.

‘They’re newbies.’

The mercenary group named Rediac Mercenary Group had been established for the first time not long ago and had been recorded as having successfully completed two requests.

‘Well, they say that newbies have to die for veterans to be born.’

The man slowly stepped aside.

The emblem on his chest reflected the light and shone.

‘I’ll allow passage.’

At his words, those who had introduced themselves as the Rediac Mercenary Group began to pass by.

Then.

‘Since there’s virtually no chance of you guys surviving, I’ll just let you pass….’

Swoosh!

A sword was already in his hand, which had been standing normally.

It thinly grazed the cheek of the man who had introduced the Rediac Mercenary Group earlier.

The Rediac Mercenary Group, which had stopped for a moment, slowly began to walk again.

The blood that had been flowing from the cut cheek stopped.
