Episode 804 I Won’t Come Out Easily
‘She is a poor woman. You are her hope. If you had not died by her hand, she would have been able to continue to live with hope. Now she will regard you as her only hope. If you die, her hope will be gone. So live. If you live, she will live, and if you die, she will become a living corpse.’
Dong Hwang-jong sighed and said.
“If you’re going to tell me, tell me so I can understand. If not, don’t tell me. This isn’t a riddle. Are you making fun of my lack of learning?”
Yongjin said coldly. The more I listened, the more I couldn’t understand and the angrier I became.
‘There are too many things involved. This is all I can tell you. You just have to remember what I say. From now on, you will have to verify and realize each thing you encounter in your life. I owe you a lot. I will not step forward unless you are in danger of death. And even if I do, it will only be once. Once I step forward, the causal relationship between us will run out and I will not be able to help you anymore. That is why I will not step forward easily.’
Dong Hwang Jong said.
“Do as you wish. I came this far through the Sea of Blood on my own. I will not rely on your strength.”
Yongjin said.
“Oh, there’s a noise up ahead.”
A sudden violent wave of noise rang out in front, as the strong men fought.
As we galloped forward, dozens of strong apostles appeared in front of us. They were surrounding seven men and women in strange clothes.
“You’re a native.”
Yongjin was a little surprised. The natives had clear light spots all over their bodies. The light spots had waves of erosion from the heavenly path. They were under a curse.
Some of the natives were strong men of the past, but among the Apostolic strong men there were third-rank heavenly men.
The seven men staggered and seemed to be about to collapse, but they held on strong. Yongjin soon realized the intentions of the Apostles. They were trying to capture the natives.
Not far away, there was also a crude formation. It was a trap set by those powerful apostles.
I don’t know what means they used, but they lured the natives here and then attacked them.
The purpose is probably to capture it alive and exchange it for the spirit stone.
As the seven natives were despairing, suddenly a dazzling golden scale flew in.
Pok, pok, pok, pok… … .
The scales pierced through the Apostle’s body in the blink of an eye. Blood splattered throughout the sky.
All the other Apostles were dead, but the Third Rank Apostle was strong. When the golden scales were floating across the sky, he felt ominous and pulled out a huge shield. I don’t know what the shield was made of, but it blocked the scales.
Suddenly, a large hand pushed the shield away, and a gently smiling face appeared in front of the third-rank celestial traveler.
As a ray of light passed by, he instinctively dodged backwards. However, for some reason, the surrounding scenery suddenly began to recede rapidly, and a very familiar, headless corpse appeared before his eyes.
Beside the body, the natives were looking at him with surprised expressions.
The seven natives were stunned and dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, all the Apostolic Powers were dead, and a spirit wrapped in lightning flew away, carrying a severed human head. The spirit disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The natives soon came to their senses and began to run away. One of them ran away but then returned and picked up the Apostle’s weapon and space ring.
Only then did the disciple realize that he was running with his head held by someone else and shouted.
“Put it down!”
pop.
The apostle suddenly felt the sky spinning, as his severed head rolled far down the mountainside.
“Soul!”
Yongjin put his finger between the person’s eyebrows, trying to see their memories through their souls, but he had to retreat quickly.
This is because at the moment when Yongjin’s soul power was just seeping in, the Apostle Kangja’s head exploded in an instant, completely killing him.
“Soul sealing? That’s a very poisonous method.”
Yongjin spat. As Naengwol-an said, the disciples of the apostles were really raised as murder tools. Everyone was like a Go stone, and the moment it fell into the hands of the enemy, the Go stone was destroyed.
Unfortunately, Yongjin didn’t know much about soul magic. If it were Mongki, he might be able to break the seal and examine the memories, but Yongjin couldn’t do it yet.
‘Haha, you did a great job!’
Dong Hwang Jong praised him. Dong Hwang Jong absorbed the souls of the people Yong Jin killed.
Yongjin said with a bitter smile.
“Not everyone is a pervert like Naengwol-an.”
Killing people as easily as cutting a knife made my stuffy heart feel a little relieved. As long as he didn’t meet the cold moon, his fighting ability was tolerable.
Then I realized that I was so bad at thinking like that. I needed to improve my skills quickly.
“Is that the forest of Mansu in front? Haha, this is good since I needed to replenish my strength anyway.”
Yongjin couldn’t contain his joy as he unfolded the map. He soon started running towards the huge board in front of him.
* * *
As the red sword flashed, a giant snake was struck by Yongjin’s sword and died. Its body was immediately thrown into the black soil of the chaos space.
The sixth-grade demon beast thrown into the black soil immediately disintegrated. Soon, a large amount of life force was created, supplying nutrients to the dried-up tree.
When Yongjin fell into the abyss, these large trees played a role in healing his injuries. The problem was that after healing him multiple times, almost all of his life force was consumed.
Although it had received the life force of the demon and was now alive again, this amount of supply was not enough for a giant forest stretching ten thousand li.
This plate was one of the largest sections of the entire Mangoro. This vast forest, which stretched for millions of li in all directions, was the most perfectly preserved land in Mangoro.
There were many high mountains, and valleys were spread out in all directions. Clear streams flowed from unknown sources. This was the place with the most vitality in Mangoro.
The reason Yongjin came here was to hunt the demon beast. In order to restore the life of the forest in the chaos space, he needed the demon beast’s corpse. Not only did he need to restore life, but he also wanted to grow the giant tree to its limit.
The giant trees were still in their growth stage and were only about a thousand jang tall. When Yongjin was in the spirit world, the female tree was a whopping two thousand jang tall.
Since Yongjin had no military unit, these large trees were his lifeline.
Yongjin, who had killed several sixth-level demons along the way, finally encountered a seventh-level demon.
The demon was a giant crocodile that lurked in the wetlands, and its body was over a thousand zhang long. The original crocodile, a species of mantis, had strong fighting power, but was killed immediately by Yongjin’s surprise attack.
Now, Yongjin’s palace has already entered its eighth transformation, and thanks to desperately taking elixirs, his training has reached the eleventh heavenly level.
After the Nine Heavens passed, Yongjin’s fighting power skyrocketed with each advancement. His confidence, which had been lost due to the fight with the Cold Moon Eye, was revived.
Now, it was easy to kill one seventh-grade demon beast. Yongjin dealt with four seventh-grade demon beasts in succession.
The seventh-grade demon was huge in size, and the last remaining one was in the shape of a tiger. Yongjin intentionally inflicted serious injuries on it, and then summoned Seol-i to kill it.
Although Seol-i was only a sixth-level demon, her fighting power was strong enough to threaten a seventh-level demon.
After killing a seventh-grade demon, Seol-i became slightly excited. Yong-jin climbed onto Seol-i and enjoyed the feeling of fighting shoulder to shoulder.
Yongjin let Seol-i go wherever she wanted. Seol-i was a demon, so she could find stronger demons. All demons had their own territory, and they left their own scent around their territory to warn intruders.
Yongjin told Seol-i to solve the sixth-grade demonic beast when he encountered it. However, Seol-i had some difficulty solving it. In particular, the demonic beast with the manuscript bloodline was dangerous to Seol-i.
However, Seol-i fought like crazy without fear, and when she killed a strong enemy, she showed off her vigorous spirit and roared.
Yongjin looked at Seol-i with worried eyes. Seol-i was a girl who loved to fight to the core.
Although she was usually obedient, she had pride and did not like being protected by Yongjin. Yongjin could sense the small changes in his emotions. Seol-i was becoming increasingly lonely.
The guy couldn’t accept that he was getting further and further away from the proud days when he fought shoulder to shoulder with Yongjin. But it was inevitable.
Although Dong Hwang Jong said he could help Seol Yi advance, it would take some time. Who knows how far Yong Jin will have grown by then?
If Yongjin grows to a higher level, Seol-i will not be able to fight alongside him.
Yongjin buried all these problems in his heart. Anyway, for now, Seol-i is happy, so that’s all that matters.
Seol-i and Yong-jin moved forward together.
Three days later, Yongjin killed the ninth seventh-grade demon. The large tree that had died in the chaos space began to come back to life, growing to a thousand jang.
For three days, Yongjin deliberately lowered his fighting power. Whenever he encountered a seventh-grade demon, he always cooperated with Seol-i to deal with it. Sometimes, he even deliberately created dangerous situations so that Seol-i could reveal herself.
For three days, Seol-i was very excited. She constantly expressed her intimacy with Yong-jin. As long as Seol-i was happy, Yong-jin thought it was okay even if the progress was a little slow.
Yongjin had a debt of gratitude to Seol-i. Seol-i gave Yongjin both her life and her time, but Yongjin had little to give him.
After three days of marching, Yongjin left Mansu Forest and began to advance toward the central region. Although he had not yet reached the core area, Yongjin began to be on guard.
According to the map I received from the Sojok, all the strong demons were in the central region, and all the weak demons were active in the outskirts.
Since demons, like those who entered the sixth level, could survive by absorbing the power of heaven and earth, they had no need to hunt and eat prey. However, if they were to suffer great losses, they would need strength, so they had to quickly hunt and eat other demons.
Yongjin carried the Red Sword on his back and cautiously walked forward with Seol-i.
Seol-i suddenly stopped and growled softly.
“Aow.”
As soon as Seol-i smelled the scent of a powerful demon, Yong-jin immediately became alert. The front was the stronghold of a powerful demon.
After crossing two hills, a huge valley with a waterfall flowing appeared.
At the edge of the waterfall, something that looked like a small mountain or a huge rock appeared.
“Is that a mountain rock squirrel? The pattern is golden. What kind of species is that?”
Yongjin knew that it was a mountain maggot, but he tilted his head at the unfamiliar pattern. He couldn’t tell if it was a mutated form or an unknown type of demon. Maybe the guy was the ancestor of the mountain maggot.
