Chapter: 10

[Activating self-healing mode on the left palm.]

With the voice, the blood stopped flowing from his palm and soon the wound disappeared as if it hadn’t been there at all.

‘It’s hard to believe... but it works.’

There was more that was hard to believe, which included the usage of the Nano Machine.

‘Can I really use all the powers that I was given the knowledge of?’

[Yes, Master. You can use every power of the Nano Machine as shown in the instructions.]

‘Good. I’ll test it out after my bath.’

[Yes, Master.]

Yeowun then got out of the water and clenched his two fists. If he could utilize the power of the Nano Machine, he could rise up in power and get revenge on his enemies.

At the south castle of the Demonic Cult was the house of Bokamjong. And next to its main building was a chamber for the heir candidate. In the front yard of the chamber, there was a teenage boy with freckles and a masked man kneeling down in front.

“It’s funny. Do you think it even makes sense?”

The boy seemed to be very angry and he shouted angrily. The masked man couldn’t even answer to quell his anger.

“I sent you all to kill one weak boy and five were killed instead?”

“Prince Mukeum, I think some warrior helped him.”

“How dare you call my name!”

“I am sorry, Prince Chun.”

Chun Mukeum was 3rd in rank in succeeding the throne. He had sent assassins from his own Bokmajong family to kill Chun Yeowun before he could join the academy, but it had failed.

“I thought he had nothing to help him, but it seems he had something up his sleeve then.”

It was unexpected. They made Yeowun’s guard stay away from him and attacked the prince, but they had failed. It meant that someone else was also protecting him.

‘Did Father do something for him?’

That’s what he had in his mind, but he couldn’t say anything about the Lord either. The Lord of Demonic Cult was the divine being.

“Oh well. I’ll take more chances after joining the academy.”

There was no protection given inside academy, as each of the princes who had guards appointed by the Lord himself weren’t allowed to follow.

“I didn’t want to do it myself, but I guess I have no choice.”

The Demonic Cult, located in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The cult had many families and clans, but it was mainly comprised of six clans: Wise, Sword, Loyal, Blade, Poison, and Lust clans. These six clans each had someone who could become the Lord.

As per the oath, the Lord needed to marry women from all six clans and make babies who would all live with their mother’s clans. The six sons would then join the Demonic Academy held once every ten years to be trained.’

The academy was created to train the finest warriors of each generation — at least that’s what it was known for officially.

However, the academy was filled with the fiercest competition whenever the multiple princes or candidates to succeed the Lord joined.

Inside the academy, the princes trained and made connections with other families and clans to increase their power. After claiming victory within the academy, he will become the heir to the throne.
