Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: The Lazy One Realizes (4)

It was like an approaching dark cloud.

The sensation of countless black fists, each the size of a house, was like a dark cloud approaching from the sky.

The same spectacle unfolded in the sky and on the earth.

Wei Yanho resisted.

He swung his sword, releasing sword energy. He used all his internal energy, but the light was eventually obscured by the dark cloud.

The moment his arm was enveloped by the demon-faced fist, blood spurted from Wei Yanho’s clenched lips. Another fist struck him, and another.

Everyone seemed to be pushed back by the enormous explosion caused by the fist.

The air, the earth, and even the rain, could not withstand the powerful storm of energy created by the fist, and they scattered.

“Kgh!”

Jangil plunged his hands into the ground and resisted the storm.

‘Damn it, really!’

They should fight reasonably. How is it possible for a fight between humans to cause a storm and an earthquake?

But he couldn’t deny it. He was seeing it with his own eyes.

“Wei Yanhoooooo!”

Even though his legs were in the air, Jangil didn’t take his eyes off the vortex of dark energy that approached like a snake’s tongue.

Wei Yanho was there.

Could a human survive that attack?

He didn’t want to think about it.

But Jangil, who had always been trained to observe and analyze the situation objectively, could only reach one conclusion.

Defeat.

And death.

No one could survive. That meant Wei Yanho’s death.

Realizing that, something began to boil in Jangil’s chest.

“Damn!”

He couldn’t think calmly at the thought that Wei Yanho had died. When he was about to push off the ground, someone pushed him from behind.

“Let go of me!”

“Excitement is poison.”

“Let go of me, you damn monk!”

It was Musan. Musan’s face was slightly pale, but he wasn’t as agitated as Jangil.

“Bastard! The lazy one is dead!”

“Not yet! We haven’t confirmed it yet!”

Musan said confidently:

“How could he survive that!”

“That guy has always done incredible things. Don’t get excited before confirming it.”

It didn’t make sense, but his excitement subsided a little. He realized that attacking would be useless.

‘Damn it.’

Calming down, he couldn’t understand himself.

If Wei Yanho had died, the best thing to do was to run away.

What could he do against the Insane Demon, whom even Wei Yanho couldn’t defeat?

Wei Yanho had told him to run away with Jin Yeran if the situation was ambiguous. He wondered why Wei Yanho had said that when he would have run away anyway…

‘I’m not that smart.’

He thought he was beyond the common warriors who got easily excited. He thought he could remain calm in any situation.

But that wasn’t the case.

Now he understood why the leader hadn’t entrusted him with an important mission.

‘What happened to the others?’

Regaining his composure, his vision widened. He saw several things.

Peng Dogeuk was plunging his dagger into the ground to resist the storm, and Wei Sanho was protecting Jin Yeran.

That was the job Wei Yanho had entrusted to him.

‘Damn it.’

He couldn’t even do that properly, how could he assume the responsibility of leader of the Beggar Sect?

Jangil’s eyes turned red.

Realizing that he was the most agitated, he felt a splash of cold water. Even Jin Yeran wasn’t that agitated. He could feel her emotions by seeing her clenched fists, but she hadn’t acted as impulsively as he had.

The storm subsided.

Jangil got up and slapped himself on the cheek.

He tasted the metallic taste of blood in his mouth.

Jangil, who thought he had regained his calm, stood up.

Shuaaaaaaaaaah!

It was raining torrentially. And thanks to the rain, the dust dissipated quickly. Then…

‘Wei Yanho!’

Jangil clenched his fists.

He saw Wei Yanho fallen among the dust. His clothes were torn and his hair was disheveled.

Jangil gritted his teeth involuntarily.

He knew that calm was important, but how could he remain calm seeing that?

‘He must be alive!’

He wasn’t dead. He couldn’t be dead.

At that moment, Wei Yanho’s body moved slightly.

“…He’s alive.”

He felt all his strength leave him. The situation hadn’t improved, but the fact that Wei Yanho was still alive calmed him.

And an old man slowly approached Wei Yanho.

Insane Demon, who had returned to his original form, looked at Wei Yanho fallen in the rain.

He had won.

The victory was clear. But Insane Demon’s heart wasn’t calm.

‘A monster.’

It seemed like an overwhelming victory.

But Insane Demon knew it wasn’t like that. In battles between experts, the difference is minimal. That minimal difference caused a big difference in damage.

If I had been a little weaker, he would be fallen, not Wei Yanho. He had used all his internal energy for fear of losing. He couldn’t even maintain his Demon Body.

‘I felt afraid of dying before this young man.’

The image of Wei Yanho remaining calm even in the face of his power was still etched in his mind. Only those who had experienced it would know how terrifying it was.

‘He will become stronger.’

Young people learn fast.

Although they lack experience and calmness, young people become stronger faster than old people. It was obvious that he would use his defeat to become even stronger.

“…When you see a lion cub, you want to raise it. People weaken before potential. I want to see how you will be in a year, in two years…”

Insane Demon raised his hand sadly:

“I’m different. I prefer the safe to the uncertain.”

If he lowered his hand, Wei Yanho’s head would break like a ripe watermelon.

At that moment, Wei Sanho ran towards the Insane Demon.

Kung! Kung! Kung!

With each step, the ground trembled.

“Get away from my brother!”

The others ran towards the Insane Demon upon seeing Wei Sanho.

Jangil, Peng Dogeuk, and even Musan, ran towards Insane Demon with seriousness.

‘Do we have any chance?’

Jangil’s mind began to spin rapidly. If it were the normal Insane Demon, not even the leaders of their clans and sects could defeat him.

But the Insane Demon wasn’t in his normal state. If he weren’t exhausted, he wouldn’t have needed to regain his original form.

Could they defeat him?

Jangil gritted his teeth.

Even if they couldn’t win, perhaps they could escape with Wei Yanho.

But at that moment, dark figures emerged from the destroyed forest and blocked their path.

“Get out of the way, you bastards!”

Jangil used the Roaring Dragon Eighteen Postures, but the demons mocked him and easily blocked him.

“Hahahaha, it seems the beggar is very angry.”

“This…”

Jangil, who was feeling frustrated, saw Wei Sanho cleave a demon in half.

“What?”

The demons blocking their path were surprised and looked away.

Wei Sanho pounced on Insane Demon and stood between him and Wei Yanho.

“Huuk, huuk, huuk!”

Wei Sanho was watching Insane Demon while observing Wei Yanho’s condition.

‘He’s not dead.’

Wei Sanho, who realized that Wei Yanho was still breathing, blocked the path firmly.

He was always like that.

He had lost Wei Yanho in a torrential rain. Wei Sanho didn’t want to repeat that experience.

“I must kill you first.”

Insane Demon looked at Wei Sanho:

“Why are you sacrificing your life?”

“He’s my brother.”

“Brother?”

Insane Demon sneered:

“Brother… who are brothers? You and him? Brothers?”

“…”

Wei Sanho’s mind clouded.

Did that matter now?

It was something that didn’t matter, but Insane Demon acted as if it were the most important thing in the world.

“We’ll help you right away!”

He heard the shouts of his companions.

‘I’ll stop him.’

It wasn’t the time to worry about help. He had to protect Wei Yanho. He couldn’t stop Insane Demon alone, but he would at least try to stop him.

If his hands were cut off, he would bite him to protect his brother. That was what he had to do as an older brother.

“Brother…”

Insane Demon smiled:

“A touching fraternal love. So, will you protect your brother even if you die?”

“Yes.”

Insane Demon nodded:

“Then it’s okay. Honestly, I’m in a difficult situation. I have something to do, but I’m not sure I can do it without suffering damage. If I kill you all, the other leaders and your master will kill me.”

“…What are you saying?”

“I’m making you an offer.”

Insane Demon laughed like a demon:

“In exchange for your brother’s life, join the Demon Cult. Wei Sanho, brother of Wei Yanho.”

Wei Sanho’s eyes trembled.
