Trash of the Count's Family

* * *

The blue aura shooting up into the sky and disappearing was truly beautiful.

The Heavenly Demon could hear the old man behind him failing to hide his gasping.

“It looks like an imugi rising up to the heavens.”

It was the Sword Saint.

The Heavenly Demon didn’t look back as he had already known that the old man was there.

He did not want to let this old man see his current gaze.

“…….”

The Blood Demon and Choi Han’s battle…

The Heavenly Demon had quietly watched all of it.

Honestly speaking, he tried to jump into the battle.

Choi Jung Soo, Choi Han, Lee Soo Hyuk… He wanted to get involved in their battlefield but had not been able to do so.

It was not because of that formidable aura that the Blood Demon had released.

The first time he faced that aura, he almost forgot about his position as the Heavenly Demon and almost knelt down with his head bowed.

However, he managed to resist until he slowly became able to stand up straight despite the aura.

That might have been because the formidable aura had not been directly aiming for the Heavenly Demon, but either way, it was bearable.

On the other hand-

‘Kim Hae-il.’

The moment that his aura had blocked the Blood Demon…. The Heavenly Demon even forgot that he had to fight and blanked out for a bit.

‘That-’

Kim Hae-il had released his aura in front of him before, but…

‘It was incomparable.’

If last time was like a handful of sand, this time he felt like a vast field of sand.

He suddenly had a thought once he realized that.

‘What is his limit?’

Kim Hae-il. This guy did not seem to be using his full strength.

The Heavenly Demon had learned a bit about nature after rising to the Profound Realm.

He could also slightly feel the foundation of Kim Hae-il’s aura.

To be more specific, he could just barely look into it.

‘It’s not there.’

Nature was not present in this guy’s aura.

He could only feel something so vast that he could not see its end.

‘In that case, what is within it?’

The Heavenly Demon had not been able to answer that question at that time.

However, he soon figured it out.

‘Choi Han.’

That guy’s body started releasing an aura similar to the Blood Demon and Kim Hae-il.

It was extremely small compared to the other two, but he was sure that the aura was not internal ki nor the power Choi Han had used until that point.

“Ha.”

Once he felt the smallest bit of that aura, the Heavenly Demon figured it out.

Both Choi Han and Kim Hae-il…

What was inside them was not nature.

‘It’s human.’

What they were releasing was something they had as humans.

That made the Blood Demon seem different.

What the Blood Demon had was a prison created from a countless number of people.

Boom. Boom.

The Heavenly Demon’s heart beat wildly.

He did not want anybody to see his face.

Because-

‘It’s been a while.’

Because he was excited.

He found a different path to get stronger.

From the Unrestrained Realm to the Profound Realm and then the Nature Realm…

The Nature Realm was coined that way because it was said that you become like nature.

However, he realized it after seeing these two people.

He became certain of it the moment he saw Choi Han.

He became certain of his path.

‘There is no need to become nature.’

Humans. ‘You can open a path forward as a human.’

It would be a path just for him, a path different from all others.

‘This is driving me nuts.’

He was so excited.

Today, he found the direction for his future path.

‘Choi Han.

Let’s use him as a reference.’

Kim Hae-il already had nature inside of him, so he was not well-suited with the Heavenly Demon. But Choi Han was similar to the Heavenly Demon.

He had already said in the past that Choi Han’s aura was similar to his.

‘The Nature Realm?

Let’s forget about that realm.

Let’s just stand firm as myself.

That is the right way.’

The Heavenly Demon’s heart was beating wildly and he felt as if he was about to grasp onto something.

He wanted to grab his sword and go practice his sword art in seclusion.

The corners of his lips slowly curled up more.

The middle of the Profound Realm.

The Heavenly Demon, the person who could call himself the strongest of all martial artists in the Central Plains right now, had figured out his path.

‘If one day I can release my own path as an aura as well-’

If he could do that…

‘I want to have some fun.’

Especially with Choi Han.

Looking where the Blood Demon had disappeared… Looking at Choi Han standing there alone filled the Heavenly Demon with a competitive spirit and a desire to defeat him.
