Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 302

Jang So-young, born in Jeomchang, was chosen by the sect leader.

As a member of the orthodox sect, she had lived her entire life for what was given to her.

But the truth she learned was different.

-Yoo Woon-hak.

The sect leader of Jeomchang, who was like a father to Jang So-young, was a monster.

What she believed to be justice, what she believed to be righteousness, was nothing but a facade.

Not only Jeomchang but also the Assembly were already tainted by the demonic, and they were not even aware of it.

Jang So-young’s world shattered like that.

So.

“Don’t you want revenge?”

Lee Rowan was the one who mentioned revenge.

“…….”

Jang So-young’s face stiffened.

Lee Rowan said,

“The sect leader of Jeomchang, Yoo Woon-hak, was actually Kwon Cheol, the leader of the enemy forces.”

Who were the enemy forces?

They were the ones who fought against the Assembly that dominated Asia, crying out for their own freedom.

Yet, their leader was sitting in one of the nine great sects.

“Do you think that’s realistically possible?”

Lee Rowan said,

“There are many questions, but they will soon be answered.”

The soul of Kwon Cheol that Lee Rowan had obtained.

He was suffering endless pain in his rage.

When Kwon Cheol’s ego collapsed after some time, Lee Rowan intended to read his memories.

Everything would be revealed then, but there was something certain even before that.

“It’s not possible without the Assembly’s permission.”

Kwon Cheol taking over Yoo Woon-hak’s body.

Jeomchang being manipulated by the enemy forces.

Jang So-young’s ruined life.

“It can be said that the Assembly was involved in everything.”

The Assembly was likely involved in everything.

“Can’t you believe it?”

Lee Rowan’s question.

“I believe it.”

Jang So-young nodded with a bitter face.

“Because the Assembly was the one who told me that Kwon Cheol was the sect leader of Jeomchang.”

What on earth were they doing it for?

“I read fragments of his memories.”

Lee Rowan said with languid eyes.

“There was a deal between Kwon Cheol and the Assembly.”

“……!”

“Kwon Cheol needed power and time.”

In a world already dominated by martial artists, there were only a few things a player could do.

They became resistance fighters and cried out for freedom, but without power, they could do nothing.

Even though resistance fighters had to fight and find a way, Kwon Cheol’s method was wrong.

“He made a deal with the Assembly to buy time to grow stronger.”

Lee Rowan said,

“The Assembly….”

What Kwon Cheol wanted.

Then what did the Assembly want?

“Sacrificial lambs to be provided when needed. Chaos, and other things like test subjects.”

Things that could not be revealed and should not be revealed.

That was what they wanted from Kwon Cheol.

They created the Association to manage and control the players, but they were the ones who worked in the light.

Kwon Cheol became the Assembly’s henchman and handled their work in the shadows.

It was a bizarre act that could not be described as a contradiction, but Lee Rowan could understand it.

‘What Kwon Cheol wanted was not true freedom.’

His claim to break free from the rule of martial artists was just an excuse.

What he really wanted was.

‘A world ruled by him.’

That was why he could join hands with those he called enemies.

There were still many secrets to uncover, but not now.

“If you want, I’ll end it by disbanding Jeomchang. The name Jeomchang will not exist, but all the martial artists of Jeomchang will be able to leave the Philippines alive.”

Lee Rowan was giving her another chance.

“But if you want….”

His eyes stared directly at Jang So-young.

“I’ll give you the Philippines.”

The base of Jeomchang.

Although it would not have the immense power it had in the past, it would still have considerable influence and power.

“I’ll give you power.”

“……!”

“The Blood Demon Divine Art you learned doesn’t suit you. It’s because you already learned the incomplete Heavenly Demon Divine Art.”

Lee Rowan said,

“Originally, you were not suited for the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, but it’s different now that you’ve crossed the wall.”

It was something even her master could not do.

It was something only he, who had three masters at the same time, could do.

“I’ll give you the power to become even more complete.”

That meant.

“I’ll give you a chance for revenge.”

Jang So-young’s eyes deepened.

“The choice is yours.”

“Why are you being so good to me?”

Jang So-young asked.

It was something she had wanted to ask but couldn’t.

“Compared to you, I’m nothing. Aren’t there already plenty of martial artists like me by your side?”

An unresolved frustration.

“Why… why me….”

“Because you have value.”

Jang So-young’s face turned red at Lee Rowan’s words.

“You are.”

Lee Rowan said.

“Because you met my master.”

* * *

In the end, Jang So-young accepted Lee Rowan’s offer.

-I will.

There were several reasons why she accepted Lee Rowan’s offer.

Revenge, power, and for Jeomchang.

And also for the sake of the unrevealed truths.

There would be many who would not forgive Jeomchang and would be dissatisfied with her becoming the leader, but no one would rebel against Lee Rowan’s choice.

-There is an arrangement.

The alliance that Lee Rowan had previously declared with Baek Cheong.

But.

-There will be a need to change it.

It would be different from now on.

The arrangement at that time was not revealed, and it was not meant to be revealed.

Also.

-The name ‘Demonic’ cannot be excluded, but it does not fit the banner.

What Lee Rowan was thinking was a little different from the arrangement.

Therefore.

-Do you have a name in mind?

A new name was needed.

[Divine Demonic Alliance]

The flag with the new name of the alliance was hung at the Jeomchang guild house.

Starting with that, the flag of the Divine Demonic Alliance was spreading throughout the Philippines.

If they didn’t want to, they didn’t have to belong.

They would not be given any major disadvantages either.

But.

[Divine Demonic Alliance]

The flags of the Divine Demonic Alliance were constantly increasing.

The time that had stopped, the flow that had solidified.

All of that was flowing again.

“The Philippines is free from everything.”

From the Assembly’s interference, and from Einheart.

“Also, in the current situation, it can be said that everyone is harmonizing.”

Lee Rowan prohibited discrimination.

Players, martial artists, and ordinary people were all the same.

Only one thing.

-Those who are recognized for their value will be given fair treatment. Just stick to that.

Only value mattered.

Murtial artists had their martial arts, players had their levels, and ordinary people had to prove their value according to their roles.

Also, it was not like they would be eliminated if they could not prove their value.

-They are the ones with a long history, so they will do well on their own.

There was already a system that had been established for a long time on Earth, and it was the same for Eun.

Now, it was about how to mix that and create a new method.

It seemed that the work in the Philippines was coming to an end to some extent.

In the meantime, Lee Rowan was not just resting.

Kwaang!

He shattered the worlds.

He shattered the dying worlds that had already lost most of their disciples.

He shattered the worlds that had been destroyed after losing in this war, even though they were small.

He shattered the worlds of those who had declared that they would abandon their worlds themselves.

Originally, the martial artists who had lost their worlds became wanderers.

Wanderers who could not adapt to Earth and only sought their own way to survive.

That was how the worlds they belonged to were forgotten, their martial arts were lost, and their identities were lost.

Lee Rowan shattered the worlds.

[Your level has increased.]

Numerous players grew.

However, it was not only the players who benefited.

As the worlds were shattered, the powerful inner energy that had been trapped within them spread throughout the Philippines and became activated.

“My inner energy…!”

“It’s increasing rapidly!”

The martial artists who were practicing their breathing techniques were surprised by the amount of inner energy, which was different from usual.

Swish!

Those who were training their martial arts were startled by the different sword techniques than usual.

In addition, many changes were slowly taking place.

Lee Rowan did not just shatter the worlds.

[Integrate the worlds.]

He began to integrate the worlds of the sects that had declared their membership in the Blood Cult into the Blood King Castle.

Dozens of worlds were merged into the Blood King Castle at once, centered around a large world.

And finally.

[Would you like to merge the fragments of Eun, the Jeomchang Sect?]

Even Jeomchang joined the Blood King Castle.

When the work regarding the worlds was finished.

“Those who have lost their worlds are welcome to live here if they wish.”

Lee Rowan took in those who had lost their homes.

Of course, not everyone, and only those who had been selected by Ha Se-min and others were able to do so.

The major work was done.

“Jang So-young.”

“Yes.”

Now, Jang So-young showed perfect respect and reverence towards Lee Rowan.

It was a natural step as each of their positions and statuses had been determined.

“You will manage the Philippines as the sect leader of Jeomchang and one of the bishops of the Blood Cult.”

A dry voice.

“You’ll have to be busy for a while. First….”

Lee Rowan said,

“Reclaim the lost lands.”

Now that more than half of the Philippines had become monster territory, Lee Rowan told her to reclaim it.

“It would be good to make good use of the players. After all, they can become stronger through hunting. However, it would be better not to spare the martial artists either.”

“I understand.”

Jang So-young nodded as if she understood what Lee Rowan was saying.

Lee Rowan looked at Jang So-young in the place that was originally the gate of Jeomchang, but now had become one of the many gates of the Blood King Castle, and said,

“Do your best. Although your life has been bound until now, from now on, you will be the one drawing your own life.”

Those were his last words.

Swoosh.

Lee Rowan crossed the gate.

Following him, Hashman and Kang Han-cheol also began to cross the gate one by one.

It was time to go back.

* * *

In the process of merging the worlds, Lee Rowan had briefly seen the transformed Blood King Castle.

However, he had only stopped by briefly while moving quickly, and had not spent any proper time there.

While Lee Rowan was away.

“We’re selling warm noodles!”

“Dumplings! Dumplings! Come and have some dumplings!”

The Blood King Castle had become a completely different world.

A bustling downtown.

Numerous buildings were located there, and many people filled the streets.

Also, their faces were filled with smiles.

Before Lee Rowan appeared, the Blood King Castle and the Blood Cult were literally on the verge of collapse.

They were living day by day in poverty and defeat.

“Dumplings….”

Their lives had changed.

Gulp.

A little boy in front of Lee Rowan swallowed.

He stopped his hawking and looked up at Lee Rowan.

“…….”

The boy’s eyes were shaking uncontrollably.

It wasn’t just him.

Saaa.

The noisy street was now silent.

Lee Rowan had returned to the Blood King Castle.

He had not had a chance to visit the civilian houses during the merging of the worlds, but now he had returned and stood here.

He had told the gatekeepers not to announce his return, and they had not disobeyed his will.

He stood here with only a few people who had been with him in the Philippines.

He wanted to see it for himself.

How this world was changing.

“Hyeo….”

It was a voice like a suppressed groan.

“We greet the Blood Demon Lord….”

And it became a scream.

“We greet the Blood Demon Lord!”

“We greet the Blood Demon Lord!”

Numerous people on the street knelt down and bowed their heads, shouting.

With voices that seemed like they were about to cry.

“Haa.”

Lee Rowan touched his forehead.
