Chapter 130

-The one who defeats the most Great Titans will be the next in line to succeed the Demon Emperor!
The majority of the ten warriors at the foot of the altar were in awe and shock.
The Ten Warriors, who were trained in the theocratic discipline of the Ten Commandments but were ostracized by the factions and their successors.
But the successor to the Demon Emperor is also chosen by the Ten Demon Warriors?
“As you know, the Heavenly Emperor has not yet decided on a successor.”
Deng Lun continued in a low voice.
“That’s how the Heavenly Emperor proceeded with his plan of ten wars.”
Another shocking statement came out of Deng Lun’s mouth.
“For I desire as my heir someone who is not a student of the Ten Commandments, but who is free from the influence of the Ten Commandments.”
The Mazen is an alliance of mages led by the Ten Doors.
And the masters of the temple were chosen from among the former masters of the forty-two doors from generation to generation.
However, the current Emperor has nothing to do with the Ten Commandments.
Therefore, even if you’re the first in line, you can’t completely ignore the influence of the Ten Doors.
“You have each been trained in the theological disciplines of the Ten Commandments, but you are not disciples of the Ten Commandments, that is, you are neither captured nor swayed by the powers rooted in the Ten Commandments.”
Ding Lun glanced at Bu Eunsun, who stood silently behind him.
“Of course, there are those who are free from that constraint.”
‘…….’
A brief flash flashed in the pupils of his eyes.
For, according to the words of the Dipper, he meant that there were others besides himself who had attained the position of successor to the Ten Doors.
“That could be.
This goes some way to explaining why the number of Sailors in attendance was significantly lower.
“You just said that the one who kills the most Cultivators can be a candidate to succeed the Ma Tianzhi……….”
At that point, English stepped forward and asked.
“So you’re saying there are other candidates for successors besides us?”
“Sure.”
Ding Lun calmly explained.
“Orthodox warriors of the Ten Doors are naturally candidates to succeed the Demon Emperor in leading the Demon Warriors. They can also be nominated by the Senate. And…….”
Taking a deep breath, Deng Lun spoke again.
“If the Demon Emperor deems him worthy of leading the Demon Warriors, he can be a candidate for succession.”
In other words, even if you’re dealing with a lot of delegates, you’re giving them candidate status, not successor status.
Still, there was a glint of enthusiasm in the eyes of some of the young men.
A candidate for the successor to the throne.
It was a different status than the one he was receiving now.
“Any more questions?”
Just as the dorsal looked down again and opened its mouth,
“If you’re method agnostic, are you time agnostic?”
Then, Bu Eun-sul raised her voice and asked a question, one that cut to the heart of what had been said so far.
If you don’t have a time limit, you don’t have to compete with the great masters.
“Of course not.”
Ding Lun smiled coldly as he looked at Bu Eunsun.
“You can only go so long without killing the Great Master.”
He took a breath and spoke again.
“If you don’t fight the Great Master in it, the masters before you who have applied the Anti-Mortality Law will destroy your martial arts.”
“If I fought the High Priestess in three months, I’d have three months to get another three months.”
“Yes.”
Dorsal smiled faintly.
“But if you’ve fought the archons and won one victory, you won’t have that luxury.”
All of the Ten Demon Warriors, including Bu Eunseol, nodded in agreement.
If you slayed a Cause Champion in the name of the Ten Warriors, you’d never be able to relax for four months afterward.
A ten-handed master of the Great Cause.
The full-blown clash will eventually turn into an unstoppable bloodbath.
“Any other questions?”
I waited for a while, but no one came forward.
Then Deng Lun spoke in a solemn, heavy voice.
“The decree of the Heavenly Emperor is effective as of now. Three months from now. In that time, you will have to deal with more than one High Priest.”
He swept his gaze over the ten horsemen once more, then spoke a short word.
“Well, good luck.”
Then he turned and disappeared through the darkened doorway.
“…….”
The spokes were back on the wheel, but the battlefield was still deadly silent.
It’s said that you never know what’s going to happen, but this was a very unexpected turn of events.
“Thank goodness it’s not the enemy this time.”
It was Yu Yunlong’s arrogant voice that broke the long silence.
“We don’t have to fight each other to a bloody pulp like on the road to hell.”
Hearing that, Seok Woo-hyung raised his eyebrows.
“You’re more naive than I thought.”
“What?”
“It’s hard to kill a cause, but it’s easy to kill the competition.”
“What does that mean?”
Yu Yunlong shouted with a fiery glare, and Shi Wuheng closed and opened his eyes.
“After today, if I assassinate you one by one, I’ll be the next in line for succession, with no effort on my part.”
If someone else had said this, everyone in the room would have laughed it off as a joke.
However, Seok Woo-hyung is an extremely lethal fighter.
He forged a killing machine that was said to be the most optimized for killing people.
It’s not impossible to assassinate a master who is higher up the ladder than you.
“Seokwoo. Do you really think you can be the successor of the master after what you did?”
“Such a thing?”
“I don’t know if the Heavenly Emperor would condone such a thing.”
Looking into the blood-red eyes of the standing Yu Yunlong, Shi Wuheng smiled wryly.
“Yuyunlong. Now that I think about it, you’re quite naive, if not for your nasty personality.”
“What?”
“The position of the Demi-Temple, which overlooks the whole of Mado Heaven, can only be reached by piling up the corpses of enemies and allies alike like a mountain. Do you understand?”
-Machenze also beat out the competition to get there.
Seokwoo Hang would say.
At a loss for words, Yu Yunlong bit his lip and fell silent, and then English said with a sigh.
“Nothing new here.”
He smiled languidly and swept his eyes around.
“We’ve been enemies since the beginning of time anyway.”
At those words, the eyes of some of the ten warriors glazed over.
Initially, to become a ten-horseman…….
And now they’re gunning for each other to be the heir apparent.
“I guess we’re not meant to live under the same sky after all.”
Sighing deeply, Mungho turned and walked out of the daejeon.
Then, one by one, the remaining ten warriors left the great battlefield.
Now, only Yu Yunlong and Bu Eunseol remained inside the great hall.
“Swollen Tongue.”
“Are you going to do it here?”
Bu Eunsul looked at Yu Yunlong with a nonchalant expression.
He’s been breathing life into himself ever since they met in the joust.
“No…… won’t do it.”
Yu Yunlong bit his lip.
“I was going to break your habit, but…… now I realize I’m not good enough.”
“…….”
“I have three more months to improve my skills. And I will defeat the great master…… you too.”
As Seok Woo-hyung said, Liu Yunlong was a radical in personality, but very simple in thought and action.
Bu Eun-sul’s simple determination made her smile.
“Let’s hope so.”
“Hmm.”
With a cold snort, Yu Yunlong also left Daejeon.
All the Ten Demon Warriors had departed, but Bu Eun-sul still stood tall in the empty battlefield.
It stared blankly into the darkness where the spokes had left it, as if searching for something.
After staring into the darkness for a while, Boo-eun-sul realizes that she’s been a bit of a wimp,
“I’ll leave you to it.”
He suddenly turned toward them and clasped his hands together.
And turn around,
“Heh, heh, heh.”
With an angry laugh, a black shadow moved slowly from the darkness to where the swollen snow lay.
Thrrrr.
The darkness on the floor rose into the air and was replaced by the figure of a clean-cut old man.
“To find Nobu in his element, that’s amazing.”
The old man, who had magically appeared, took a step closer to Bu Eun-sul.
He’s only about five feet tall, but there’s a constant stream of lightning in his eyes and a storm brewing behind him.
“I’m suffocating.
It was the prayer of one with absolute power, similar to …… the prayer of one with absolute power when he saw the red roof of the great hall in its old age.
“Your name is.”
At the old man’s question, Boon-Seol looked away.
“I am Bu Eun-sul, the ten horsemen of Nanyagak.”
“Swollen Tongue.”
The old man smiled thinly.
But his eyes were so piercing that they seemed to grow even more ferocious.
“How did you discover that there was a Nobu?”
“Not found.”
Bu Eun-sul said cautiously.
“I just assumed that the Lord of the Dead hadn’t planned for this to happen.”
“These things?”
“The Lord of the Immortals has gathered the Ten Demon Warriors together in a demon battle.”
The old man nodded, seemingly intrigued by Bu Eun-sul’s words.
“Keep talking.”
“The Great Marriage Lord said he had called me here to designate a High Priestess, and to talk to me about a possible successor to the Marquis, but…… I suspected there was another reason.”
“Other reasons…….”
“Yes.”
Looking into the old man’s eyes, she took a deep breath.
“If anyone ever decided to send the Ten Horsemen to take on the Archmaster, they would have wanted to see him in person.”
“So…… guessed that Nobu would be here?”
“Yes.”
The old man glared at Bu Eun-sun.
His gaze was so deep and sharp that Bu Eun-sul was momentarily drawn to his inner circle.
“Uh-huh-huh!”
Suddenly, the old man with the bushy hair nodded and said.
“Nangyagak has indeed gained an excellent ten-horse warrior.”
“Thank you.”
“But you lied to Nobu.”
The old man’s smile faded, and he suddenly looked like he had gone from being a god to a devil.
“That reasoning alone will not reveal Nobu’s existence.”
The old man’s voice seemed to radiate coldness.
“I ask you again. How did you discover Nobu’s signs?”
Buunsul eventually came clean.
“Because you sounded light on purpose.”
“Why? Why did Nobu make a noise?”
“Perhaps…… was intentional, to test whether any of the Ten Warriors could spot such a sign.”
“Nobu took the test?”
A flash flashed in the old man’s eyes.
But Bu Eun-sul ducked her head under his gaze.
“Otherwise, how would I be able to detect the traces of the Dark King?”
