Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 337

Lee Tae-gyeom was clutching Oh Jin-kyung’s pant leg.

“Please save me! Senior Brother—!”

He pleaded with Oh Jin-kyung in a desperate voice.

But inside, Lee Tae-gyeom’s mind was thinking,

‘It’s better this way.’

Even at this moment, he was looking for an opportunity.

‘That thing is a monster.’

The Blood Demon, it was a monster that no human could face.

If so.

‘The outcome of the war is clear.’

Although Hainan had boldly reached the territory of the Milky Way, the victory would likely go to the Milky Way.

It was said that a single master could not change the tide of war, but if it was a monster like the Blood Demon.

‘He might be able to face tens of thousands of warriors alone—!’

In fact, the leaders of the Hui were veteran warriors who had defeated thousands of warriors alone.

Then there was only one way.

‘We must retreat.’

Before more Hainan blood was spilled, they had to withdraw their forces.

And they had to gather more strength and strive to prepare for the future.

However, the commander of this war was Lee Tae-gyeom.

Originally it was Oh Jin-kyung, but it was his own decision to take away his command and take responsibility.

‘I… must take responsibility for the defeat.’

Even though the sect leader was pushing him, there would be limits.

Even with the public opinion that Oh Jin-kyung was the true leader of Hainan, if they suffered a defeat and suffered great damage.

‘It’s over.’

Lee Tae-gyeom’s future would be over.

The sect leader.

He would not be able to reach the position he so desperately wanted.

Then.

“Senior Brother!”

There was a way.

“At this rate, it’s a disaster!”

Lee Tae-gyeom staggered to his feet and spoke from behind Oh Jin-kyung.

“That thing is a monster!”

Lee Tae-gyeom said, pointing at the Blood Demon.

“We must hurry to save the disciples. We don’t know what kind of sorcery he might have prepared.”

Lee Tae-gyeom knew Oh Jin-kyung as well as he hated him.

“Senior Brother, please buy us some time…!”

Lee Tae-gyeom spoke urgently, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Oh Jin-kyung was a master no less than himself.

If he were to engage in a life-or-death battle with the monster Blood Demon, Oh Jin-kyung would surely be defeated, but he would be able to buy some time.

In the meantime, he would retreat Hainan.

And.

‘You’re going to die here.’

Oh Jin-kyung would be killed by the Blood Demon.

If only that happened…

‘Hainan’s forces will be preserved, and I can become the leader of Hainan.’

He could repay today’s humiliation in the future.

Clench.

Lee Tae-gyeom grabbed Oh Jin-kyung’s hand and said,

“The lives of tens of thousands of Hainan members are in your hands! I am injured and cannot help.”

Oh Jin-kyung would know that it was an obvious trick.

But.

“So I will retreat Hainan and come to save you.”

Oh Jin-kyung would follow even knowing that.

To protect Hainan.

The Blood Demon, who was watching all of this, stood quietly, wondering what he was thinking.

Lee Tae-gyeom thought of it as an opportunity and turned around.

“Please!”

If Oh Jin-kyung had entered, it meant there was also a way out.

Just as he was about to run quickly, into Oh Jin-kyung’s back.

Thud!

A sharp pain was felt.

“Se…”

Lee Tae-gyeom, who had fallen, carefully raised his head.

“Senior Brother?”

There stood Oh Jin-kyung, who had stabbed his sword into his back.

* * *

“What… is this…?”

Lee Tae-gyeom’s pupils were shaking violently.

He had thought of Oh Jin-kyung as a rival, so he had tried to know everything about Oh Jin-kyung.

Oh Jin-kyung would never abandon Hainan.

Also, he was the disciple of the sect leader, and he would never be able to do anything to him, his junior brother…

“What… are you doing?”

That should have been the case.

“It’s been a while.”

Then, from behind Oh Jin-kyung, a monster’s voice was heard.

“Oh Jin-kyung.”

The Blood Demon, he spoke to Oh Jin-kyung.

“No way… !”

Only then did Lee Tae-gyeom begin to understand the situation little by little.

In the past.

-The Milky Way and Hainan.

There was a time when the Milky Way and Hainan had launched a joint attack.

The commander at that time was Oh Jin-kyung.

“Y-you! Oh Jin-kyung! Have you betrayed Hainan!”

Could it be that they had met at that time?

“It’s been a while.”

Indeed, Oh Jin-kyung turned around and bowed to the Blood Demon.

Seeing that, Lee Tae-gyeom was even more shocked.

A voice flashed through his mind.

-Everything you’ve come here for.

-Was in my grasp.

It was the Blood Demon who had delivered the voice in the stopped time before the battle began.

-You have come here as I wished and desired.

-You have done your part well.

Nonsense he couldn’t understand.

“Y-you crazy…”

Lee Tae-gyeom began to understand it.

-Tae-gyeom, this is your chance.

Even after the Milky Way’s declaration of the Blood Cult, the forces of Eun were quiet.

Among them, Hainan moved because.

-Jin-kyung said that we should strike the Milky Way.

It was because Oh Jin-kyung was there.

-He is the one who carried out the joint attack with the Milky Way. He is the one who knows the Milky Way better than anyone else.

The sect leader said.

-He said that the current Milky Way can still be stopped with the power of Hainan.

Justice.

Justification.

Oh Jin-kyung, who moves for the sake of the cause.

-This is your chance, Tae-gyeom.

That’s why he thought he had brought up the story of subjugating the Milky Way.

-Jin-kyung said that he should give you a chance too. He said that we should give you experience since you have no experience in the martial world. This is your chance to make a contribution and solidify your position as the sect leader.

Everything was.

“Senior Brother… was it you who did this?”

It was Oh Jin-kyung who had moved.

The sect leader and Lee Tae-gyeom, who knew Oh Jin-kyung’s nature and character, did not even suspect anything.

But all of this was.

“Senior Brother betrayed Hainan—!”

It was Oh Jin-kyung who had done it.

“You’re noisy.”

As Yi Roun’s voice echoed.

Whack!

A blood-colored tendril that sprang from the ground wrapped around Lee Tae-gyeom.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve met, so keep your mouth shut.”

“Ugh!”

“Oh Jin-kyung.”

Yi Roun approached Oh Jin-kyung.

And Oh Jin-kyung.

Swoosh.

Slowly, he began to kneel on one knee.

In the past, Hainan, the Milky Way, and Mount Hua had jointly attacked the Heavenly Demon Cave.

At that time, Hainan had lost many warriors due to Mount Hua’s scheme, and Oh Jin-kyung was also destined to die at that time.

However, Yi Roun had changed that.

He had defeated Mount Hua and saved Oh Jin-kyung.

And that day.

-I will give it to you.

Oh Jin-kyung had sworn.

-I, Daehae Sword [Great Sea Sword] Oh Jin-kyung, will give myself to you.

Oh Jin-kyung, who had vowed revenge against Mount Hua and had risked everything.

“Now I have harvested it.”

Yi Roun said, standing in front of Oh Jin-kyung, who was completely kneeling.

“I didn’t want to meet you again in this way, but it can’t be helped.”

Yi Roun had liked Oh Jin-kyung.

He didn’t want to show him an imposing and overbearing appearance.

But.

“That is the appearance that suits you.”

Oh Jin-kyung said, looking at Yi Roun.

“I will fulfill my promise.”

“……”

“I, Daehae Sword Oh Jin-kyung, offer myself to the Blood Demon.”

“Ugh!”

Lee Tae-gyeom, who was watching the scene, rebelled almost in a fit, but the tendrils that bound him only became stronger.

“I will serve the Blood Demon as my lord.”

“I accept.”

“So, my lord.”

Oh Jin-kyung.

Lee Tae-gyeom had never seen Oh Jin-kyung like that before.

Bloodshot eyes.

It was the appearance of a demon filled with hatred and anger.

“Will you help me take revenge on Mount Hua?”

“That was the promise.”

Oh Jin-kyung bowed his head to the ground as if swearing complete loyalty.

“Get up.”

At Yi Roun’s words, Oh Jin-kyung slowly raised his body.

“Mount Hua will have to endure a bloody revenge. I, the Blood Demon, the Heavenly Demon, and the Divine Demon, Yi Roun, promise that in my name.”

Lee Tae-gyeom’s eyes widened.

‘What did he just say…’

He understood the word Blood Demon.

But Heavenly Demon.

And.

‘Divine Demon!’

Lee Tae-gyeom, who had entered seclusion due to a request for a meeting.

He was able to see that person in the place provided by the meeting.

The master of all, who taught the late-stage disciples of Eun, the best masters.

Others seemed to vaguely know his identity, but Lee Tae-gyeom of Hainan, who was treated poorly at the meeting, did not hear the details about him.

But one thing, he had heard the words that the heroes of Eun, including Blood Ascendant, called their master.

-Divine Demon.

Divine Demon.

And he was hearing that name here now.

Lee Tae-gyeom’s mind began to turn white.

“Now it’s time to pay the price, Oh Jin-kyung.”

Yi Roun said.

“It’s also time to prove your loyalty.”

Then, Oh Jin-kyung nodded and turned his back to Yi Roun.

In front of him.

“Ugh!”

There was Lee Tae-gyeom, who was tied up.

“Lee Tae-gyeom.”

Oh Jin-kyung called Lee Tae-gyeom’s name and approached him.

“Ugh!”

He tried to run away, but he couldn’t.

“You used Hainan for your own selfish desires.”

“…Ugh!”

“You have spilled too much blood.”

Blood began to seep from Lee Tae-gyeom’s entire body.

“If someone like you becomes the leader of Hainan, the future of Hainan is obvious.”

Lee Tae-gyeom wanted to shout.

“It would be a lie to say that I have no selfish desires, but all of this is.”

The sword in Oh Jin-kyung’s hand.

“For Hainan.”

Swoosh—!

It was a moment when it came down and severed Lee Tae-gyeom’s neck.

“Hainan will move forward. Hainan will not fall. Hainan will.”

Oh Jin-kyung said.

“Will not forget the blood that was spilled.”

The disciples who died at the hands of Mount Hua.

He would take revenge for them with his own hands, which no one else had done.

Oh Jin-kyung was looking at Lee Tae-gyeom’s fallen head when.

Twitch.

Something was beginning to change.

“Now it’s my turn.”

A shadow blocking Oh Jin-kyung’s path.

It was Yi Roun.

“Step back.”

* * *

He had a hunch that there was something in Lee Tae-gyeom’s body.

Something that the master’s hand had touched.

“Master.”

Lee Tae-gyeom was not a vessel capable of handling that power properly.

Perhaps only Blood Ascendant could handle the power to some extent.

“Let’s stop doing this now.”

Yi Roun said, looking at the twitching Lee Tae-gyeom.

At that moment.

Fwoosh!

A fountain of blood that burst out painted the sky like a picture.

The intertwined and tangled blood took shape.

Without hesitation, Yi Roun grabbed the greatsword, Fury.

And.

Whoosh!

The dantian [energy center] moved, and a raging inner force seeped into Fury.

Fury, which had a dark black blade, soon began to turn red, and blood tears began to flow from the jewel-like eye embedded in the bridge of the nose.

It was the moment when the blood that had gushed out of Lee Tae-gyeom’s body finally took perfect shape.

It was a monster that looked like a demon.

“……!”

Oh Jin-kyung’s eyes widened at the enormous energy he felt from it.

Just as he was distracted by the evil energy, which was so evil that his mind was dizzy just by standing in front of it.

Slash!

Yi Roun’s greatsword fell in a diagonal line.

The monster, which had taken shape and was finally about to move.

Fwoosh!

It was torn apart again into a fountain of blood.

“Now.”

Yi Roun’s voice.

-See you soon, my disciple.

Another voice echoed in the air and disappeared.
