The Main Characters That Only I Know - Chapter 368:

Yu-hyun disappeared like the wind, holding Kang Hye-rim in his arms.

Neither the Legion nor the Liberation Army tried to stop or catch him. They just stared blankly at his fading back. They had seen the collapsing Black Thunder Palace and knew they were powerless to stop him.

Yu-hyun did not care about those who were left behind.

The grudges between the Legion and the Liberation Army, who thought they had been betrayed by each other, could not be resolved by such a thing. But it was all up to them to deal with it.

That’s how Yu-hyun left, and soon after, rumors about him spread quickly throughout the Mixed Realm.

The fall of the Black Thunder Lord, Kang Hye-rim, the Demon Sky Empress.

And the emergence of a new lord, the Book Pile Lord.

But unlike other lords, the Book Pile Lord did not claim any territory or try to dominate anyone.

He just wandered around like a vagabond, and only rumors of his whereabouts spread wildly.

That only aroused the curiosity of the beings in the Mixed Realm.

A lord who did not rule as a lord.

A lord who wandered without his own territory.

Considering that a lord in the Mixed Realm was recognized as a kind of one-man faction, Yu-hyun’s actions were unprecedented, and naturally, the Great Divine Spirits and Divine Spirits had to pay attention to his movements.

If they could only bring Yu-hyun to their side, they would gain an incredible power that had defeated the Black Thunder Lord.

The real name of the Book Pile Lord was not yet known, but judging from his actions of overthrowing the Black Thunder Lord and helping the Liberation Army, they guessed that he was not a villain.

The giants of the Mixed Realm also recognized that and ordered their subordinates.

Go.

Go and find the Book Pile Lord.

Find him and recruit him as our Divine Spirit.

With Yu-hyun’s appearance, the situation in the Mixed Realm began to change rapidly.

***

[That damn stone monkey bastard! I can’t get enough of chewing him up!]

The world of Mara Papayas, where he dwelled in the Six Heavens.

A world stained with blood, where dark clouds filled the sky and lightning raged endlessly.

From Mara Palace, at the highest point of that world, Mara Papayas’ angry roar erupted one after another.

Mara Papayas was still furious and kept cursing.

He had almost gotten his hands on Kang Yu-hyun Teller, but at that crucial moment, he was interrupted by Sun Wukong and everything went up in smoke. He couldn’t believe it.

The reason why Sun Wukong interfered was also outrageous. If he had just done it out of annoyance, he would have understood. Sun Wukong’s whimsical personality was well-known in the Mixed Realm.

But this time, Sun Wukong said he moved at Buddha’s request.

That fueled Mara’s anger even more.

‘Damn you! You’re still bothering me even after you’re dead!’

Buddha was the only being that he had failed to corrupt since the beginning of time.

Rather, he had lost three of his beloved subordinates to Nirvana, and he had tried to stop his enlightenment with desperate pleas, but he had failed even then.

To Mara Papayas, Buddha was an indelible stain on his history.

When Buddha chose death himself, Mara Papayas scoffed at him for being foolish.

How could he sacrifice himself for such lowly beings in the lower realms? Was that what he endured countless pains and sought enlightenment for?

But Buddha left with a smile even when he died. Mara did not like that.

‘Why? Why did you smile like that even when you were annihilated?’

The moment Buddha died, Mara Papayas realized. He could never surpass him now.

So Mara Papayas targeted Yu-hyun. The being that Buddha had been interested in before. The Teller who had recruited a Heavenly Demon from another world and raised her and even defeated Chulapantaka.

If he could corrupt and destroy him, that would be like defeating Buddha who was dead. He couldn’t erase the stain, but he could cover it up a bit.

Mara Papayas made a plan.

The first thing he noticed was Kang Hye-rim. The fact that she was the only one worth touching had a big influence.

‘Anyway, there’s nothing to gain from touching anyone else.’

Kwon Jia, Seo Sumin, and Yoo Young-min.

These three had such strong minds that he had no chance to get into them. But Kang Hye-rim was different.

When Kang Hye-rim realized that Yu-hyun had disappeared and would not come back, her heart crumbled quickly.

He had been watching her for a while. Even though she pretended not to be, there was a darkness in her heart that attracted his interest.

The day when the earth suffered the second Phantasm Shock and faced the runaway of the mental realm, Mara Papayas visited Yu-hyun’s library for the first time and watched them. He felt it then.

When the darkness in Kang Hye-rim’s heart began to sprout and grow, Mara Papayas did not miss the opportunity.

Kang Hye-rim’s heart was shattered by a human who resembled Kang Yu-hyun, the man she longed for. It would have been a more successful plan if it weren’t for the sudden appearance of a strange doppelganger, but she thought it was enough.

The moment Kang Hye-rim’s heart broke, it was Mara’s turn to step in.

The king of the heavenly demons, who corrupted the world, whispered his power to Kang Hye-rim. She accepted Mara’s offer.

Everything went according to his plan.

She, who had tremendous potential and talent, rose to the level of a lord, not just a transcendent. And when Yu-hyun came back, and they fought without backing down.

Mara watched that moment with delight.

The situation where they, who cherished each other, crossed swords and swung their weapons while suffering.

How could he not enjoy it!

Mara did not think Kang Hye-rim would win. It would be good if she did, but the man named Yu-hyun was not someone who would crumble so easily.

As Mara expected, the fight ended with Yu-hyun’s victory.

The man cut Kang Hye-rim with his own hand, and the moment her life ended.

Mara decided that it was time to act.

‘You’re mine now!’

A crack appeared in Yu-hyun’s solid heart. Mara Papayas sneaked in and tried to corrupt Yu-hyun and make him his own.

Look at that. You bastard. I may not have corrupted you, but I made the one you cherished mine. I won. I, Mara Papayas, am the greatest demon king of this mixed world.

But all that was ruined by a series of absurd events.

The intervention of Sun Wukong, who became a berserker, and Yu-hyun’s awakening.

Even Kang Hye-rim, who he thought would die, survived somehow thanks to Yu-hyun’s trick. She even cut off all the traces of corruption he left behind.

Mara Papayas was flustered.

But he was more shocked than that.

‘I wonder why that bastard cared so much about that guy. The three-headed Lucifer also watched that teller, and so did Michael. He has something.’

Mara regretted that he failed to corrupt Yu-hyun this time, but he did not give up.

He had plenty of time anyway.

He could not intervene when Yu-hyun was in the lower world because of the Genesis system, but it was different when he came to the upper world.

This time he would succeed for sure.

He only failed to corrupt one person, Buddha.

While he was grinding his teeth with that thought, a commotion broke out at the outermost part of his territory.

[What’s going on?]

When Mara asked, one of the transcendent beings he used as a lieutenant showed up and bowed his head.

“There is an intruder outside right now.”

[An intruder? There is an intruder in my territory?]

Mara Papayas did not understand what his lieutenant was saying.

He was not boasting, but he was the first demon king to make a name for himself in both Paradise and the Thirty-Six Heavens.

His territory was notorious for being a place where all beings feared and avoided even looking at.

But an intruder?

[Did those Paradise guys go crazy and send a punitive force? How many?]

“That, that is…”

[Why are you hesitating to answer? How many are there?]

“O-one.”

[What? One?]

“Yes. There is only one intruder.”

Mara Papayas felt even more ridiculous. An intruder was just one? He wondered if he was just a fool who lost his way.

[Is he someone who doesn’t even know where he is going and got lost? He must be a newbie who hasn’t been in this mixed world for long.]

“No. The intruder seems to be unaffiliated, but he knows that this is your territory and came looking for you.”

[How do you know that?]

“The fact that he is causing a ruckus outside looking for you is proof.”

[He came looking for me?]

He felt more doubtful as he said that. Even when the Great Holy Army of Paradise targeted him, they usually sent multiple Divine Spirits instead of individuals. But an individual who belonged nowhere came after him?

There was a saying that a puppy does not know how scary a tiger is, but this was beyond that level.

[I’m not in the mood to deal with such a brat right now. Take care of it yourself.]

“Yes sir.”

The lieutenant nodded and disappeared like smoke from his seat.

Mara Papayas thought that everything was bothering him when he was already annoyed.

The lieutenant who received the order soon gathered the transcendent beings in the Six Heavens.

Ten transcenders who could move immediately appeared in response to the call.

“An intruder has appeared. There is only one. But judging by the fact that he came this far, he must have not only guts but also skills. Mara is not in a good mood, so eliminate him as soon as possible.”

None of them objected to the fact that they had to move ten people to face just one.

Mara’s command was absolute. They willingly agreed to follow it.

The ten transcenders headed to the outskirts of the Sixth Heaven, where the intruder had appeared.

“What is this? What’s going on?”

Someone muttered.

At the top of the Hell Realm, which was ruled by Mara Papayas, there were celestial beings.

They were Mara’s soldiers, not celestial beings, and they were much more superior than the army that any ordinary lord ruled.

The white-haired captains who led those celestial beings were transcender-level strongmen.

Although they were inferior to the elite transcenders, their skills were not to be underestimated.

But around them, there were fallen celestial beings, who looked more than 500 at a glance.

That meant there were five white-haired captains.

They were all dead.

Their corpses were just falling apart into text, as if they had just collapsed.

Who did it? They had received a report of an intruder not long ago, but how could a single individual take down more than 500 celestial beings in such a short time?

“Hmm? Some weird guys have shown up again.”

A woman appeared in the center of the ruins.

She looked beautiful and dignified, with white hair reaching her waist.

She wore a black cloak, but her sleeves were torn, and she wrapped bandages around both her hands.

She had the appearance of a ruler who put everything under her feet, and at the same time, she had the appearance of a warrior who fought with her own strength without commanding anyone.

She was strong.

The ten transcenders who served Mara looked at her with tense eyes.

“Who are you?”

“I don’t need to know who I am, just call Mara Papayas. I already know that he is here.”

“How dare you call his name so casually in front of us? We don’t know how strong you are, but we are elite apostles who serve him directly. Don’t think you can atone for your sin of calling him casually with just your life.”

The woman replied coldly to his words.

“Prepared? I’m going to crush my enemies, do I need to be prepared for that? Fine. I didn’t expect an answer anyway, so do your best to stop me.”

Snap!

Blood vessels popped up on the foreheads of the transcenders. But none of them dared to attack her first because of her arrogance.

The woman in front of them deserved it. Her power was that strong.

The transcenders prepared for battle with great tension.

“I am Gu Unhyuk, the seventeenth Heavenly Demon of the Third Martial Realm.”

“I am Keorushin, the third Demon King of the Seventh Intermediate Realm.”

“I am Hyuk Kangun, the fourth Blood Demon of the Seventh Martial Realm.”

“I am Wigorzhan, the Demon King of the Abyss of the Second Intermediate Realm.”

“I am Delshara, the Red Demon of the Fifth Realm.”

…

The names and identities of each of them flowed out of the mouths of the ten transcenders.

They were beings who had ruled their worlds with absolute fear before serving Mara Papayas.

Some of them were Heavenly Demons, Demon Kings, and Blood Demons, and their power was dazzlingly brilliant.

After introducing themselves, they asked the woman at the same time.

“Who are you?”

The woman did not sneer at them or remain silent to their question.

“Seo Sumin.”

She was now a mature adult who had regained her peak power and more.

She accepted their will and said her name.

“Seo Sumin of White Flower Management.”
