The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

The escape route was blocked. Come to think of it, it was very easy to know. Because even if I were them, I would have blocked the escape route first.

Facing this situation, I realized that I had been quite arrogant after entering the Demonic Zenith. Seeing that I had come without any preparation even though I knew it was a trap. I had thought that I could get through whatever happened. Why? Because I'm at the Demonic Zenith! Thinking about it now, it was nothing short of crazy confidence. It was a clear mistake. If I had just informed the Mad Demon or the Demonic Brain in advance, the situation would have been much better than now.

Still, did you think that 50 Transcendent Peak masters would suddenly pop out!

I complained, but the situation did not change.

The only good thing was that the fact that I was at the Demonic Zenith did not change.

The five blocking the front.

Behind them is the door leading out.

'I have to get at least the Sword Demoness out of here.'

It's impossible to face all these people alone. And it was even more impossible with the burden of the Sword Demoness.

If the Sword Demoness gets out? What's next? In this situation, I would have to call someone who could help.

Someone who is not a member of the third force and is helpful in the current situation.

Only one person came to mind. The problem was that that one person was still pending, but now was not the time to worry about such things.

What was certain was that this time, I would be able to know whether that person was an ally or an enemy.

I sent a telepathic message to the Sword Demoness.

-If I break through, go out and call Su-a! Since I can't trust who is an ally or an enemy in the Heavenly Demon Cult right now, you must not tell anyone about this. You could be in danger too.

-I'll fight with you!

The Sword Demoness refused my request. I knew she would say that. That's why I raised my sword towards those who were blocking the front and sent another telepathic message.

-I'm sorry, but you'll only be a burden in this situation.

I had spoken a little coldly. It might have been unpleasant for the listener. But this was the reality. This time, the Sword Demoness did not refuse. She just had a serious look in her eyes.

With this, the Sword Demoness was persuaded, and all that was left was for me to break through the front.

I raised the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

I could feel the yang energy spreading throughout my body.

Perhaps the given opportunity is only once.

I had to cut down those five at once and even break through the formation in front of them.

The moment I fail, the enemies behind me will attack, and an opportunity like this might never come again.

I thought of the strongest and simplest attack I could perform.

As expected, there was only this.

The Reversal of Heaven.

The yang energy went down, and the yin energy went up.

At that moment, the world was reversed.

When I was at the Transcendent Peak, I had been using the Reversal of Heaven by the Six Demon Heart Method, not the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. The reason was that it was impossible for a body at the Transcendent Peak to withstand the Reversal of Heaven by the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

But now that I had risen to the Demonic Zenith, it was possible.

The reason was the strengthening of the body due to the tenth great meridian.

And through the work on the minor meridians before, the efficiency of the current tenth great meridian had risen to more than half of the existing great meridians.

However, this was the first time I was using the Reversal of Heaven while using the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Although I didn't know I would be using it in a real battle so suddenly, it was perfect in theory.

In fact, my body was withstanding the Reversal of Heaven by the Heavenly Demon Divine Art. And as expected, a load twice as large as before was being put on my body.

A motion sickness incomparable to that of the Six Demon Heart Method came over me.

If I had remained at the Transcendent Peak, I would have been giving the floor a deep kiss like this.

Now that I had risen to the Demonic Zenith, it was different.

I use the internal energy spread in the minor meridians to tune my senses to my current body. I could feel the motion sickness gradually subsiding and my senses returning.

'It's done!'

As soon as the tuning was over, I felt a mysterious power in my body. In this state, I felt like I could do anything.

But I did not fall into arrogance.

Because I knew that this was just a temporary satisfaction that came from realizing what I had only thought of in theory until now.

At that moment, the five who were blocking the front did not wait any longer and swung their swords at me. And on their swords was a strong qi, the energy known to be the strongest in this world. I also put strong qi on my sword and swung it.

The strong qi and the strong qi collided.

Crack.

The expected loud noise was not heard. For a moment, the Sword Demoness's eyes widened.

Because one side's strong qi had been cut too easily.

Right after, a quiet cutting sound and a solid line appeared in the air.

Slice!

One head soared into the sky. Another solid line appeared in the air. Right after, another head soared, and this happened three more times. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that this happened almost simultaneously. It took not even a single breath from the time the first head soared to the time the fifth head fell to the ground.

And so, the front was revealed.

In the Sword Demoness's eyes, she could see Yoo Jae-ha about to swing his sword again. And the blow just now was so perfect that it made her admire it as a swordsman, forgetting that it was a critical situation.

Slice.

Another cutting sound was heard.

Crack!

The path to the outside world was revealed.

The door and the fog were cut. The scenery outside was visible beyond the fog. The fog was filling up the cut space again.

The open space was gradually getting smaller.

Yoo Jae-ha shouted urgently.

"Now!"

The Sword Demoness looked at Yoo Jae-ha with determined eyes and then ran forward.

"I'll definitely come back! You have to stay alive until then! Jae-ha! I have something I must tell you!"

The Sword Demoness escaped safely.

* * *

I let out a sigh of relief as I watched the Sword Demoness completely escape.

The cut space of the fog restored itself and was filled in an instant.

As expected of the formation engraved in the Nine Demon Treasury.

"One rat has escaped, but that's not a big problem. Because we have already made preparations outside."

Although the Sword Demoness had escaped, the first elder still looked full of leisure. Rather, she looked more comfortable than when the Sword Demoness was there.

"Since the nuisance has disappeared for both of us, shall we try properly now? Actually, I was also curious. Why they are interested in you."

Actually, I also want to know the reason.

Could it be this?

"As they say, a popular man is a tired man."

"You must not look in the mirror often."

There are always people like that in the world. People who take jokes seriously. The first elder was the kind of person who lacked such flexibility.

"Even if I don't look, everyone faints when they see me."

This is not a lie. In fact, the exclamation I heard most often when I glanced at the elders was 'I'm coming!'

"Your self-esteem is about to pierce the sky. It's better to see than to be gloomy. We'll soon find out whether that's real or just a bluff."

Normally, this is a very dangerous situation.

But strangely, I didn't feel that it was very dangerous.

I think I started feeling this way since I had cut down the five and the formation.

Perhaps I am much stronger than I thought.

"Hehehe. It's interesting. If you're pinning your hopes on the child who went outside, you'd better give up. Because this mountain is already crawling with our people."

I was a little worried about the Sword Demoness when I heard that, but I wasn't very worried.

Because it was the Sword Demoness, not anyone else.

If it were the Mad Demon, to be honest, I would have been a little anxious.

"Everyone, kill that person."

As soon as the first elder's words ended, a killing intent was shot at me. Even though their five comrades had just been cut down, I couldn't feel any fear from them.

'Yes. This is the Liberation Pill.'

From the moment they eat it, the user moves to achieve only one purpose.

Their purpose is to kill me.

I was worried that they might chase after the Sword Demoness after leaving this place, but it seemed that I didn't have to worry about that.

And just as they had a purpose for me, I also had a purpose for them.

Why on earth are they trying to kill me?

I had to find out who the mastermind was.

They all kick off the ground at once. The sky was filled with black dots. I also ran forward with my sword hanging down.

I put the load from the Reversal of Heaven on my sword.

My arm trembled for a moment, but I endured it. I swung it as it was.

Crack!

The opponent's strong qi was torn apart. I even cut the person beyond it. And I still had strength left. I rotated my body and manifested my super sense. I swung it horizontally towards the back as it was.

The faces of the three who were rushing from behind were cut in half as they were. This time, my super intuition was manifested.

I bent my waist forward without looking back. Two swords passed over it right away. I snatched the sword of the dead man in front of me and held a sword in each hand. I straightened my waist and at the same time, I thrust my swords backwards. Stab! Stab! I could vividly feel the sensation of the ones who had just thrust their swords at me being pierced through the sword.

I put strength in the hand holding the sword. I cut upwards as it was. Rip! The ones who had been pierced by the sword were split in half, and I even cut down the ones who were attacking from above. Blood drew a parabola. For a moment, a rainbow appeared and then disappeared.

After that, I held a sword in each hand and swung them without rest.

Slice!

As I cut down people, I could tell that my senses were becoming sharper. Now, even with my eyes closed, I could distinguish my surroundings as if they were open. No! Rather, it was recognized more clearly than seeing.

I felt a strange feeling.

'Three on the right, two on the left, two above, one below.'

A simultaneous attack from all directions by a total of nine people.

All of them were clad in strong qi.

If it were the old days, it would have been a moment of life and death, but now it was no different from breathing.

The super sense grasps the opponent's position.

The super intuition predicts the opponent's attack.

The super sense and the super intuition combine to create a single line in the air. The moment I see it, I realize what it is.

The grain.

The line that exists everywhere in this world.

I swung my sword along that grain.

A quiet cutting sound echoed, just like before. The strong qi was cut too easily. The cut strong qi lost its binding force and scattered into the air.

The faces of those whose strong qi had suddenly disappeared are filled with bewilderment. After that, their heads fell.

The sharpened senses immediately showed another line. I swung my sword along it. Every time I swung my sword along the line, a strange excitement and satisfaction enveloped my whole body.

A little more.

It felt like something was about to be caught.

A little more.

It felt like I was about to reach something.

That unknown something was about to be seen, but it wasn't. With one last step left, that something was no longer visible.

"Ah..."

I let out a short sigh.

It was just one last time. If I had swung just one more time, I could have known the identity of that something. But I couldn't.

I could know the reason.

Countless corpses were scattered around me.

And only I was standing alone.

"It's surprising. I knew you had entered the Demonic Zenith... but I didn't know you would show such a prowess even though it hasn't been long since you entered the Demonic Zenith. Anyone who saw it would think you had been at the Demonic Zenith for over ten years."

The first elder could not help but express her pure admiration.

What kind of realm is the Demonic Zenith?

The Demonic Zenith was a realm that was on a different level from the realms before it. Therefore, even if one had risen to the Demonic Zenith, it was not possible to use the power of the Demonic Zenith to its fullest right away.

The senses, which had become sharper than before, show new things. The body, which has suddenly changed, allows one to perform movements that were not possible before.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Demonic Zenith is a re-establishment of the body. Some even expressed it as the body being reborn.

All of this was not wrong.

Therefore, after entering the Demonic Zenith, a time to adapt to the changed body was absolutely necessary.

The minimum time it took to completely make the changed body one's own was ten years.

Therefore, most of those who had just reached the Demonic Zenith would show a weaker appearance than when they were at the Transcendent Peak.

As time passed and the body and senses became accustomed to the realm of the Demonic Zenith, the gap that had been misaligned would be narrowed exponentially, and when one could completely control oneself, it could be said that one had truly reached the Demonic Zenith.

'I heard that it has only been a month since the designated one reached the Demonic Zenith.'

By now, it was normal to have to consume a tremendous amount of mental strength even just to walk due to the changed senses.

But the movement he had just shown was like seeing the movement of someone who had passed ten years after reaching the Demonic Zenith.

'The tuning of the body is already over?'

No way!

If she hadn't seen it himself, she wouldn't have believed it.

It was as if he had brought forward ten years to a month.

She couldn't believe it even after seeing it.

"Haha! So this was it. The reason they are obsessed with you. And the variable that person had mentioned."

The first elder was feeling the emotions of envy and jealousy for the first time in a long time after entering the Demonic Zenith. She had entered the Demonic Zenith over twenty years ago. Such a person had now become an old woman. But the being in front of her had not even reached adulthood yet, but was stepping into the supreme realm of the Demonic Zenith.

The emotion that naturally arises when a human sees a being more outstanding than oneself.

The heart of a cunning snake arises.

It ignited the fighting spirit that she had believed had disappeared.

"I was originally supposed to kill you, but now I sincerely want to kill you."

"Isn't that the same thing?"

The first elder had finished tuning her senses a long time ago and was now looking at the next step.

Therefore, he could tell.

That she had not yet reached the next step.

"Please die."

The ability to perfectly tune one's senses also meant the ability to disturb the opponent's senses.

The first elder's nickname in the Heavenly Demon Cult was the Illusion Demon.

—

"Huh?"

It was a clear sense until just now.

It felt like I could do anything.

Suddenly, a terrible motion sickness came over me again.

The world began to spin.

Stagger.

I tried to stand up straight, but I couldn't distinguish between the ground and the sky.

In the meantime, I could see the Illusion Demon attacking. I dodged it.

I thought I had dodged it.

Thwack!

I was hit right in one eye.

I didn't feel any pain.

Because a motion sickness worse than that was already swallowing my whole body.

Ugh!

I vomited what was inside, but it wasn't refreshing at all. The next wave of motion sickness just came over me.

But there was a change.

My right vision was gone.

It seemed that the part I had been hit just now was my right eye.

With my remaining left vision, I thought I saw the first elder smiling.

Ugh!

I vomited again.

Thud!

It was even hard to stand up, and I fell to the floor.

"It seems this is your first time fighting someone who has properly reached the Demonic Zenith."

The first elder approached me and brought her face close. A distance where if I just extended my hand, I could reach. But I couldn't do anything.

Thud.

I tried to move, but I fell to the floor again.

"Is this poison?"

At my words, the first elder clutched his stomach and began to laugh.

"Hehehe!"

Grabbing my hair and lifting it, the first elder made eye contact with me and said.

"What? It seems this is really your first time."
