Sword Demon (ê²ë§ / Geomma)
Sword Demon (ê²ë§ / Geomma): Master of the Heavenly Demon Cult's combat unit, the Ghost Sword Squad (ê·ì°°ê²ë / Gwichal Geomdae).
His age is somewhere between thirty and forty, though no one knows the exact numberâIâve never asked.
Before succumbing to demonic influence, he was a rogue martial artist known for indiscriminately killing anyone in his path. His cruel and bloodthirsty combat style made him infamous.
The stories of him flaying his subdued enemies alive were enough to make anyoneâs blood run cold.
The name he earned during that time was âGhostly Murder Sword (ì´ê·ê² / Salgwigeom).â
It was a fitting name, perhaps too fitting. Compared to that, the title Sword Demon seems almost elegant.
With his madness, itâs no surprise he fell into demonic ways.
The Heavenly Demon Cult, preparing for war, must have been the perfect place for the Sword Demon to unleash his violent instincts without restraint.
After becoming a demonic being, itâs said he received a special ability from Cheonma (ì²ë§ / Cheonma) called the Eyes of the Fighting Ghost (í¬ê·ì ë / Tugi-ui Nun).
âIt lets you perceive your opponentâs movements more precisely.â
He could read the flow of energy and clearly discern his enemiesâ movements. It resembled a heightened sixth sense, though far more intuitive.
âNot that I would know for sure.â
Having never used it myself, I couldnât say what it really felt like.
Upon assuming command of the Ghost Sword Squad, he led from the front in every battle.
Compared to the Demon Sword Queen (Mageomhu), his madness was of a different flavor entirely.
âHe despised the Demon Sword Queen.â
The reason? He had failed to claim the position of deputy commander of the Black Flame Squad.
Whether that was the real reason or not, every time he saw the Demon Sword Queen, he lunged at her like he intended to kill her.
Youâd think someone like him would be better suited for the Ghost Sword Squad, with its focus on assassination missions, than the Black Flame Squad, which rarely saw action.
Why he coveted that position, Iâll never know.
âIf you were so ambitious, why not aim for commander?â
Had he sought my position, like Green King, that might have made more sense. But the Sword Demon seemed to have no interest in being a commander.
He continued to clash with the Demon Sword Queen over her position, but she never lost it to him.
Ultimately, he was killed in battle by the Divine Sword.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
