Trash of the Count's Family

“I feel like I’ve turned into a spectacle.”

The Heavenly Demon responded to Cale’s mumbling.

“That’s right, a spectacle.”

One corner of Cale’s lips twisted up after hearing that response.

“It doesn’t matter to me, but you are in that high position of the Heavenly Demon. Is it okay for you to turn into a spectacle like this?”

The Eight Pavilions and Eight Battalions… No, the representatives of the now Seven Pavilions and Seven Battalions, after getting rid of the spies from the Blood Cult, were all here.

Some of them, such as Pavilion Master Gong, did not seem to like the current situation.

Furthermore, the people from the Orthodox faction and Unorthodox faction were standing with stiff expressions on their faces as well.

“Young master Kim.”

The Heavenly Demon calmly commented.

“I’ve always been a spectacle.”

He sat down in a lotus position on a platform that was a bit higher than everywhere else.

“The position of Heavenly Demon is one that symbolizes the strength of the Demon Cult that forces me to live as an existence that is no longer human while receiving the gazes of the Cult members.”

“That is why you are a spectacle?”

“That’s right. Furthermore, showing my condition will significantly influence not just the Demon Cult but the Orthodox faction and the Unorthodox faction as well. Their alertness toward the Blood Cult will go up significantly.”

The Heavenly Demon smiled toward Cale while seated.

“Because I am the Heavenly Demon.”

The Heavenly Demon had turned into a living jiangshi.

The way he was saying that this situation would install the most fear toward the Blood Cult in the entire Central Plains Martial Arts world…

It seemed a bit arrogant but Cale did not say anything to oppose it.

It was because the Cleave Saint, who had heard the explanation about the Blood Cult and living jiangshis… That extremely stubborn man had turned completely pale.

“Let’s get started.”

Cale walked to the Heavenly Demon’s back after hearing that.

“Hey.”

He then asked.

“This formation is safe, right?”

“Didn’t you hear the explanation?”

“I did.”

This formation was supposedly created by the combined knowledge of the Sage Demon, the three Guards, and the Heavenly Demon.

It was an even stronger formation than the one at the pavilion that Cale saw the Heavenly Demon last time.

‘He said it should be able to handle twenty times that?’

Similar to how the formation at that pavilion did not allow the dead mana smoke to head out…

This formation was supposed to do the same thing but be twenty times as effective.

Cale was amazed that a formation, compared to magic, could be so effective.

And although he questioned whether it was true…

‘Human, this is super strong! It does seem to be twenty times as strong! To be honest with you, it looks like it can even handle twenty five times as much!’

He could trust it after hearing Raon, who was probably flying around outside the formation while invisible, confirm it.

Cale looked outside the formation for a moment.

Sui Khan, Choi Jung Soo, Ron, etc etc… His people were stationed and waiting next to the top executives of the Demon Cult.

– Cale, your condition is very good today!

– I feel so relaxed having hyung-nim and the noonims here.

Cale heard the cheapskate and then the crybaby in his mind before sitting down in a relaxed position and placing his hand on the Heavenly Demon’s back.

“I’m ready.”

Next to him was the heater-shaped divine item as well.

One hand was on the Heavenly Demon’s back… One hand was on top of the heater.

Once Cale finished his preparations…

Oooooo– oooooo–

The air started to fluctuate.

The Heavenly Demon closed his eyes.

A dark red aura fluttered and rose up from his body.

The Heavenly Demon could not speak from here.

– Human, are you okay?

Cale heard Raon’s voice in his mind.

“Totally fine.”

He nonchalantly responded before looking at the Heavenly Demon’s head.

Black smoke was rising up from there.

Cale could not see the Heavenly Demon’s face. However, he could imagine what kind of look was on his face.

‘He’s probably scowling.’

The dead mana in his body, that evil aura was being lured to aim for his upper dantian.

The Heavenly Demon was feeling pain like last time in order to make that happen.

However, he didn’t even groan.

‘Oh esteemed Heavenly Demon.’

The Sage Demon had his hands clasped together and could not look away from the face of the Heavenly Demon who was scowling in pain.

The Heavenly Demon was faintly visible beyond the formation but for someone like him whose martial arts level was high, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

He could clearly feel the Heavenly Demon’s pain.
