Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon

The Samsara Demonic Cavalry. 

Demons, all of them, dressed in armor and moving like one body. 

They were the Samsara Demonic Cavalry.

Although not a Twelve Supporting Unit, they were one of the major strike forces representing the Cult of the Heavenly demon. 

“You are here?”

At Woon-seong’s words, the Blood Tears Mask Demon raised his head while still kneeling. “You said you needed riders and horses, how could we not come? Upon being called by the Leader, we rode like the wind.” 

He was the leader of this group. Unlike the others, there were red lines underneath the eyelids of his mask. 

That was where he got the title ‘Blood Tears Mask Demon’. 

“You must have suffered.” 

“Of course not!” Mask Demon shouted loudly, then slowly stood up. He then looked at the Kang siblings, who were standing behind Woon-seong. “Who are those children?”

“The children I have chosen to collect.”

Seeing Woon-seong and the masked demon talking, the siblings were dumbfounded.

Mask Demon saw the siblings and put the mask back over his face, approaching them. “Woah,” he loudly shouted. 

Unlike his title of ‘Blood Tears Mask Demon’, the man was quite childish and enjoyed playing games with children. 

Not understanding his intentions, Kang So-san and his sister scrambled backwards in fear. 

“Agh.”

They fell down, not intending to get up. 

Mask Demon laughed down at them. 

Woon-seong said, “Mask Demon, stop playing.”

“Respect.”

At his words, Mask Demon returned with a stiff expression, as if saying ‘it was just a joke’. He then pointed at some of the horses he had brought. “I will escort you to the camp.”

If there was a minor problem, it was that the two siblings knew nothing about horseback riding. 

Mask Demon put them on separate horses, then introducing someone to sit behind them and hold the reigns. 

The problem was solved that way. 

The Samsara Demonic Cavalry then began the march towards the Eastern Army, surrounding them as if they were protecting Woon-seong. 

Even as they rode on the horses, the two siblings were still frozen in shock. 

Woon-seong didn’t look at them, but asked Mask Demon, “When did you join the army?”

“It’s been about two days.”

The Samsara Demonic Cavalry were originally a part of the Northern Army, not the Eastern Army. 

It was Woon-seong who called them forward, changing their status. 

The Iron Sword Wind Cloud Fortress also has famous cavalry. Nevertheless, the choice of the Water Temple in the Qilian Mountains… 

It was the Alliance’s provocation, stating that they could battle on horseback even in the mountains. 

Woon-seong had called upon the Samsara Demonic Cavalry in retaliation. “You must be tired, but you still worked hard to come here.”

Mask Demon shook his head. “I was restless because I was only in the North. I was actually uncomfortable that I could not greet the Leader upon arrival in the East.”

You say that, but you must be tired. Woon-seong nodded, as if understanding. “I can feel your strength, so I don’t have to worry about the Iron Sword Wind Cloud Fort.”

“They are just frogs in a well. I will show them that the strongest cavalry belongs to the Cult of the Heavenly Demon.”

“Indeed.”

At Woon-seong’s words, Mask Demon bowed his head and smiled brightly. 

In Woon-seong’s head, he pictured the battle that was to take place in the Qilian Mountains. 

The Iron Sword Wind Cloud Fort has cavalry and the New Dragon Battalion. 

Cavalry would have to be dealt with by cavalry, so the Samsara Demonic Cavalry would take care of that side. 

Then what about the New Dragon Battalion?

I have the perfect opponent for them.

The New Dragon Battalion, the swarm of dragons which summoned the dawn, was now the name of a battalion. But ‘New Dragons’ was originally the name given to a training program of the Martial Alliance. 

And graduates of a similar institution existed in the Cult of the Heavenly Demon. 

The New Dragon Battalion can face the Charred Dragon Unit and the White Ape Unit. 

Woon-seong intended to use two of the symbolic troops to smother the enemy’s pride. 

That way, the enemy’s morale would hit rock bottom. 

Plus, it’s a mountain.

Reminded of something Sang Gwan-chuk had said, Woon-seong smiled faintly. 

It was at that moment that Kang Ye-ha called out, “Esteemed sir.”

Woon-seong turned his head to face Kang Ye-ha, who was behind him. Her eyes were still full of surprise and her voice was trembling. 

It was not only surprise.

There was also fear. 

“What kind of person is Sir?”

The reason they were afraid could be understood from this question. 

They were afraid of Woon-seong’s identity. From their first meeting, they had known that Woon-seong was unordinary. 

But until now, their gratitude had overwhelmed fear. 

However, when a group of scary-looking masked people were listening to Woon-seong, they became more afraid than grateful. 

Their experience and knowledge of Murim was limited. 

However, even they could tell that the people Woon-seong commanded were not the same as those third-class martial artists and Black Law Sect. 

It was a signal from their sixth sense, an instinctive feeling. 

Their fear of Woon-seong grew. 

What kind of people were they?

Woon-seong laughed at Kang Ye-ha’s question. “Do you not already know who I am?”

“Yes?”

Kang Ye-ha was surprised and hesitated. 

Kang So-san, who had been staring at Woon-seong until then, subconsciously muttered, “The Heavenly Demon.” 

That was what Mask Demon and the others had said when they first saw Woon-seong. Had that left a lasting impression?

Kang So-san, who muttered those words without realizing it, slapped his hands over his mouth. 

He was not the only person in shock. 

Kang Ye-ha, who had been talking to Woon-seong, trembled. “My master is the Heavenly Demon.” 

Although they were ordinary civilians, they were not without eyes and ears. They knew what that meant. 

Woon-seong nodded. “Yes, I am the Heavenly Demon.” 

Kang Ye-Ha and Kang So-san closed their eyes at the same time. They knew he was extraordinary, but they didn’t think he would be the Heavenly Demon. 

They felt goosebumps rising, their backs suddenly cooling with sweat. 

However, Kang Ye-ha’s was feeling more relief than betrayal. If the Heavenly Demon was teaching her brother martial arts, she wouldn’t have to worry about his future. 

Please help So-san in the future…

It seemed that her love for her brother was greater than fear of the name ‘Heavenly Demon’. 

Was it because they were riding horses? Woon-seong and the siblings were able to reach the camp at an incredibly fast pace. 

The siblings felt their jaws draw when they reached the military camp. There were an endless number of black-robed martial artists. 

Among them, there were several people showing off incredible swordsmanship. 

What was even more surprising was that when all those fierce martial artists saw Woon-seong, they all hastily bowed their heads and shouted out a greeting. 

They realized that Woon-seong was the Heavenly Demon. 

Meanwhile, the black horses that carried Woon-seong and the children reached Woon-seong’s barracks. 

“Wow, I’ve never seen such a big tent.”

“Neither have I.”

It was a tent the size of their entire inn, so naturally their eyes widened. 

Woon-seong was accustomed to resting on a chair located inside the tent. 

“Let’s take a break. ”

Despite his words, the siblings only shuffled their feet, looking around. 

The situation was a bit unfamiliar. 

Before the situation could get more awkward, there was a voice from outside.

“My lord.”

It was Sang Gwan-chuk. 

“Come in.”

With Woon-seong’s permission, he walked into the tent and politely greeted. He then smiled as he looked at the two siblings, who were sitting uncomfortably in the chairs. 

“These are the children you spoke of. ”

“I’m going to send them to the Heavenly Mountains once this battle is over. I can’t take them to the battlefield…”

Sang Gwan-chuk nodded. 

“As soon as things settle down, I will send some people to escort them back to the Heavenly Mountains.”

“Please.”

“I’ve prepared clothes and tents for the children. May I send them there and feed them?”

As soon as Woon-seong had explained the situation, Sang Gwan-chuk had gone about preparing things for their arrival. 

Woon-seong smiled at Sang Gwan-chuk’s consideration. Woon-seong nodded and two women appeared to plunge from the air. 

Guardians of the Heavenly Demon in the dark. 

It was two Flowers of the Dark Night. 

Seeing two people suddenly appearing, the siblings flinched. 

Woon-seong’s voice calmed them down. “It’s fine. Follow them and they will tell you where you will be staying for the meantime.”

At his words, Kang Ye-ha stood up and bowed, still trembling. “Thank you for your consideration.”

Kang So-san also imitated his sister and bowed his head.

Woon-seong waved a hand. “It is not I who has prepared the tents or clothing. So if you want to thank someone, do not thank me.”

At his words, the two siblings bowed again. 

“Thank you.”

Sang Gwan-chuk smiled and nodded his head. “Don’t mention it. It is all thanks to the Leader, so learn well and repay the Leader’s favor.”

The two children were led outside by the Dark Flowers. 

As the children left, Woon-seong’s expression hardened. 

“Let me hear your report.”

Picking up the children was just a small thing, as he had not forgotten they were still in the middle of war.
