Chapter 336 Team HH, Yahiko, thursdays (4/10) (1/2)

Team: HH, Yahiko, thursdays (4/10)

Thwak!

Kahn stumbled at the pain of his cheek being slapped, but he didn’t fall and regained his balance.

Fortunately, the pieces in his hand didn’t drop to the floor.

Kindred smirked at him.

『Do you think things will change? That I don’t know what you’re thinking?』

『……It’s a misunderstanding.』

『A misunderstanding? Misunderstanding…..』

Kindred scoffed.

Thwak.

He hit Kahn’s other cheek. This time, it was so painful that Kahn felt like his neck was twisted. The inside of his mouth was torn, and he could taste blood.

『I really don’t like that word.』

Regardless of Kahn’s condition, Kindred’s eyes were flashing sharply.

『You can use that word for anything. It’s a misunderstanding, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. If you use that word, it excuses you from anything. Right?』

『……Again, it’s all a misunderstanding.』

『Really. What an omnipotent word.』

Kindred flicked his finger. The pieces of the Ruyi Bang in Kahn’s palm floated up and whirled above him.

『Sure. Try doing whatever you want. People should always take the chances they get. You won’t be bored then.』

A man behind Kindred quietly stepped up and held something out. It was a golden sphere.

The sphere began to shine. The pieces whirling above gathered towards it and landed in the hollow parts of the sphere.

Clack, clack—

The sacrificial vessel slowly took shape. There were hundreds of pieces gathered, so it couldn’t be called a “piece” anymore.

Kahn looked at it with his jaw clenched.

Of the pieces, there were some that the Devil Army used to own, but 40% of it was what he had obtained after going through near-death situations.

For the last few years, he had acted as the Devil Army’s assassin. He killed any descendants the Devil Army discovered and took their pieces. He didn’t even want to think about how many people he had killed in that process.

But every time, Kindred was happier. A bloodied piece would have more grudges. He said there was no better material to finish the vessel.

Kahn may have been a demon, but Kindred was an even greater demon.

The Heavenly Demon? He felt like he knew why the divine being was deep in slumber, not responding to their calls.

Who would like such lunatics?

The current head bishop was the one who disposed of the previous head bishop, Black Dawn, and some other bishops to sit on the throne.

He didn’t have a legitimate tie to the throne, so he had to depend on the Heavenly Demon. No matter how much others called him a heretic, if he received the favor of the Heavenly Demon, he would be legitimate.

But the Heavenly Demon didn’t listen to the head bishop’s desperate pleas. So the head bishop had to use another way.

If the Heavenly Demon didn’t respond, he could find the other faces of the Heavenly Demon and serve them.

Kahn, who was only a sword-wielder, didn’t know the exact teachings of the Devil Army.

However, he did know that whenever the Heavenly Demon was reincarnated through Samsara, he would teach important things to the world or learn something to make his soul even more complete.

He also knew that the Devil Army called those “other faces” of the Heavenly Demon.

It was a term for the previous lives of the Heavenly Demon.

The Monkey King was one of the strongest lives of the Heavenly Demon.

Of course the head bishop desired the Monkey King.

But the real Monkey King had disappeared when the Heavenly Demon entered into a slumber, so bringing his shedding was the wisest choice.

They would do it with the sacrificial ceremony.

Everything was prepared.

The shedding was bound tightly with Divine Iron because he refused to leave the palace, and sacrifices were spread throughout the mountains for his descent.

The altar was prepared. Fire burned in the bronze braziers.

All the officials of the Devil Army—the bishops, diocesan bishops, high priests, normal priests, and honorary priests—were there.

Now, only the prayer ceremony was left.

The moment the descent succeeded, they would immediately exterminate all the insects that dirtied the holy territory in the Five Mountains.

And after that…..

‘Let’s not think about it.’

Kahn shut his eyes.

They probably wouldn’t be able to succeed with the prayer ceremony. He wouldn’t let them. That, in itself, would cause a commotion, but he didn’t want to think about what came next.

『You said the insects in this sacred place have nothing to do with you?』

Kindred opened his mouth, looking at the shining sacrificial vessel.

Kahn opened his shut eyes and bowed.

『Yes, sir.』

Sacred place. He was talking about the Monkey King’s Palace.

Yeon-woo’s party and the chasers were insects that needed to be taken care of for daring to step into such a sacred place.

『Then come back after you get rid of them all. Only then will you get what you want.』

Kindred’s gaze turned towards the altar.

In front of the bronze braziers, a robed man was praying. His youthful face could be seen through the slight movement of the robe.

There was a subtle light shining around him. He looked like a saint.

Kahn grit his teeth and bowed.

『Thank you for trusting me.』

『You three, follow him.』

Four, five, six. Three apostles followed Kahn. Kahn left the central palace with them in tow.

Kindred snorted, looking at Kahn walk away, and slowly moved to the finished sacrificial vessel. The remaining third bishop quietly followed him.

『Why are you letting him live? He’s a hunting dog who can’t be used anymore.』

Obviously, the Devil Army wasn’t planning on upholding their promise, even if Kahn did all they asked. Doyle was an important key who would lead them to a new era.

They needed to take care of Kahn quietly.

『Who said I’m letting him live?』

Kindred snorted.

『We’re in front of a holy altar. We’ve already given plenty of sacrifices; is there a need to use dirty blood? It’ll just be bad luck.』

『I didn’t think about it deeply enough.』

The third bishop belatedly realized Kindred’s plans. He was planning on cleaning Kahn up after all the insects were taken care of. Kahn would be tired then, so he wouldn’t be able to avoid it.

『Then let’s begin the ceremony.』

Kindred walked up the five stairs and put the completed sacrificial vessel on the altar.

He wasn’t the one leading the prayer ceremony. His role was only one of a butler who helped the one in charge lead it smoothly.

『…….』

The man praying in front of the altar slowly took off his robe. Doyle raised his head with pupilless eyes.

Then, he opened his mouth.

『Please answer, other face of the Heavenly Demon.』
