Chapter 1 (1/2)

Siu

He needed strength

The strength to save his family from the detestable bandits

He needed an unrivaled power that could wipe out every one of them

So he went to the ‘De’

The ‘De’, as sealed within the darkest parts of a certain mountain

I went to get power from him

The ‘De very well at the moment, and asked a question

[You want my power, kid?]

“Yes”

The guy laughed at my answer

After laughing for quite a while, he asked me a different question

[What can you give ive my power to you?]

Nothing was ever free

I was young, but I already knew about this back then

I looked at the ‘De’ and bowed towards him

“……Anything As long as I can get the power to destroy the”

[Anything……]

The ‘Deers and spoke with an amused expression

He stretched his hand, and spoke while touching my forehead

[What’s your na boy?]

“……Gongson Chun Gi”

[Alright, Gongson Chun Gi Your wish is granted]

I didn’t know back then

I didn’t knohat this event meant

When I knew about the truth in the future

I dedicated ’

– About the De

Found froson Chun Gi

A suspicious young man whose eyes were covered by his hair

That man stroked his smooth chin, and spoke

“I would like to know the first i lord”

“First impressions……”

The old ht

He soon reached a satisfactory answer, and spoke

“He was good At first…… It’s obvious, right? No matter what others say, his talent forYou know it too, don’t you?”

When the man nodded, the oldunpleasant

“But what does itinsane things, doesn’t he? Right?”

When the old , the man smiled a bit for some reason

He was surprised

‘They’re really all the same’

All the Guardians that taught the third young lord all had the same reaction as this old man

At first, he was surprised, but now, these reactions were si

The youngdoith an interested face

“What’s that? Is that the thing the Pope talked about?”

“Yes”

The thing that would change the future of the church

Based on the information here, the future heir would be chosen

“Phew, please write properly in there If a guy like that becomes the Pope of the church, we’d be ruined”

The man faintly smiled, and nodded

Everything was just about ready now

But the strange thing was his heart

‘According to the original plan, I should be gathering information to drive out the third master……’

Strangely, thelord

No, thelord

So thelord so that it would look a little better

‘Things would get interesting for a while’

The man put down the brush, and smiled

To be truthful, he still didn’t knowmaster

He was just i master would be like based on what others had said

And in his ant person who just did things as he pleased

‘What kind of a person is he?’

A few days after investigating

The ination previously

And the young lord turned out to bethan expected

Red hair, with a red beard

A ed man with a powerful aura about him

ThisMoon Chun

And thein front of the Pope

Looking at the man, whose eyes were hidden by his hair, the Pope spoke

“Siu”

“Yes”

“You finished investigating?”

“Yes”

He had enough information

The proble at the inforathered

“Hoh? May I read it?”

“Of course, your holiness”

Siu gave the data he collected to the pope

The Pope skimmed over the data, and smiled

“Kuku, you investigated quite thoroughly, unlike the other guys You’re quite meticulous”

Siu smiled aardly, and scratched the back of his head

The Pope finished ski that time, and spoke

“You’re the only one left out of thirty Did you know that?”

“Yes It seems I came a little too late”

Siu tried s at the pope

Bang Moon Chun, as looking at Siu’s face with an amused expression, talked

“Aren’t you being too careful? Just choose randomly”

Siu scratched the back of his head, and spoke

“The person I’ to be someone I’ll serve for my entire life, so I want to choose carefully”

“Choose carefully…… well, you are right Couys were the ones that chose too quickly”

Bang Moon Chun srabbed the teacup in front of him

And asked Siu a question

“By the ho’s the one that’syou hesitate so much? Is it the second? Or is it the third child?”

Siu hesitated

He didn’t know if he should answer truthfully or not

When he saw Bang Moon Chun’s eyes, however, Siu sighed inwardly

He couldn’t just try to avoid the question, especially after he saw the glint of curiosity in the Pope’s eyes

“It’s the third lord”

“Hoh? The third? You have that trouble child, Gongson Chun Gi, weighing in your mind?”

“Yes”

Siu made an embarrassed face

Right now, the first young lord had the highest chance of beco the next Pope

No, it was aluaranteed

Because of that, any sane person would just choose the first young lord

‘But……’

For so about

Siu paused for a while, then put his head up to look at Bang Moon Chun

“In son Chun Gi suits the position of the heir more”

“That’s not so that you can determine Of course, I can’t determine that either”

Bang Moon Chun’s face had a playful expression on it

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of so at Siu with a sorrowful face

“It would be interesting to see how everything unfolds later on…… but to you, all this would probably a very hard path to follow The first really isn’t someone you can have as an enemy, after all”

“……Yes Probably”

Siu’s face immediately darkened

It would be hard to fend off the attacks fro lords alone

But he didn’t regret his decision

“But it looks like you ood It seems that the third doesn’t have no luck at all”

Bang Moon Chun looked at Siu, pat the ly, and stood up

“Don’t you still have so up a little during that time”

Siu saw off the Pope with a bitter smile on his face

After looking at the Pope’s departing figure, Siu shed

He sohts to the pope

‘Should I have thought a little more carefully……’

No o lay with the first lord

Thatthe heir, and he also had a lot of support from everyone

‘The second lord ood choice, as well……’

If he stuck with the second lord, he would have to face many adversities, but it would be doable

The et when the lord becomes the Pope

But the lord he chose in the end was the weakest one, the one that didn’t even get recognized by everyone It was Gongson Chun Gi, the third lord

“damn it, I don’t even know anymore……”

Siu dropped down onto his bed, and closed his eyes

He already made a choice, and he couldn’t reverse it

He’ll have to do his best from now on

Just… the fact that he chose Gongson Chun Gi without even seeing the lord’s face bothered him a little

“He finally made his choice?”

“Yes, lord”

“Who’d he choose?”

The young man with a cold aura about him

He looked at his henchman in front of him with a bored face, and asked a question

His henchman answered without hesitation

The young man smiled at his henchman’s attitude

“The guy probably went for the second Was he called Siu? That guy’s pretty du the leader of the Black Reaper Corps”

The suppressing aura that emanated from the whole body

The ly aura was called Jun Yoon Su

He was the first apprentice to the pope, and was known as the Bloodwind Demon in the martial world

The man in front of Jun Yoon Su spoke with a troubled voice

“……He went for the third lord”
