Episode 365 86. Blood Pledge (7)
A disgusting fishy taste remained in my mouth.
Seongmin Lee filled his mouth with water. Spit it out, hold it in, spit it out. I rinsed it all the way down my throat.
The fishy taste was slightly lessened, but the ‘chewed’ texture remained. It was also unpleasant to recognize it as a texture.
What’s even more unpleasant is when you chew it. Even though I think it’s disgusting and corrupt… … In the back of my mind, just a little bit, I thought, ‘It’s more than I thought…’ … ‘What I thought.
[Because the body is a monster.]
Yokai eats people. It is an obvious fact. Even though they were once human, cannibalism is natural once they become youkai.
Even if there is physiological resistance, the body itself accepts cannibalism. Thanks to that, there was no throwing up. That’s more annoying.
My strength has greatly increased.
It was the same with the power.
It wasn’t something that could be felt. Although the depleted dantian was replenishing, the internal energy and magical power it originally possessed were so enormous that even if it consumed blood demon, it did not inflate significantly.
It was the same as when I ate the dragon heart. It was similar to when he inherited the power of Sima Lianju. The absolute amount has increased slightly, and the memories… … .
It was a little confusing.
It was like broken fragments. Even when he inherited the power of Sima Lianju, Lee Seong-min was unable to take over everything of Sima Lianju.
It was different from Aine’s first time experiencing martial arts freely through predation. Is it really a problem with the body?
Although I felt a little disappointed, it was something that could not be helped. Excessive greed will only ruin your body.
“Was it delicious?”
The Black Dragon Association asked with a curious expression. Seongmin Lee answered not with words but with his facial expressions.
As he looked at me with a rotten face, the Black Dragon Association cleared his throat. Yana approached.
“There were no vampires.”
“You didn’t run away?”
“I don’t think there’s a vampire with the skills to hide from me and run away. “Maybe it’s the queen.”
“There were many warlocks.”
The Black Dragon Association raised its finger and pointed to one side. Hundreds of warlocks were spread out in one corner of the clan’s spacious training hall.
“It was less than I thought. Most of them were little brats. From the looks of it, it looks like those who could be considered valuable have already left the clan.”
Blood oath is a word that is thrown away.
Seongmin Lee recalled what the blood demon said. As he said, his clan was large, but not very substantial.
There were many warriors, but the power of the clan warriors was not enough for Jennyella to covet them.
Rather, high-ranking warlocks would have been attractive to Jennyella. The things a martial artist and a wizard can do are different.
Jennyella, who did not lack power, may have felt that there was a greater need for black magicians who manipulated black magic.
‘I don’t remember anything like that.’
Some of the blood demon’s martial arts skills have been added to the memory, but his relationship with Jennyella and her purpose have been completely cut out. Seongmin Lee turned around, feeling regretful about that.
“There is no need to kill him. “I’ll leave the rest to others.”
“To whom?”
“The blood demon who ruled the clan has died. The blood oath has collapsed. Someone will fill the void in the clan. Either the wizard guild intervenes, or they elect a new leader among themselves. “A clan without blood demons is not a threat.”
“Are you satisfied with that?”
The Black Dragon Association asked, tilting its head.
“Aren’t you angry that the place where Sima Lianju ruled has been desecrated?”
“The proof has already been completed.”
Seongmin Lee saw the spot where the blood demon was lying.
There was no body there.
After the heart was pulled out and eaten, the blood demon’s corpse became a red mist and dispersed.
Seongmin Lee recalled the expression the Blood Demon was making right before he disappeared. Even though he died like this, he smiled with satisfaction until the end.
What satisfied him?
Died while fighting? Or that she was able to convey to Jennyella exactly what she had seen and experienced?
Either way, isn’t it a vain ending to end a long life of 700 years?
With that thought in mind, I didn’t feel very good even though I had killed the blood demon. This was because blood demons could not understand humans at all, no, vampires.
I feel bad because I don’t understand. Even though she was a blood demon enemy.
The blood demon… … She was strong.
Aside from being a vampire, he was also excellent as a warrior.
Seongmin Lee stopped thinking about blood demons. I didn’t understand, and I didn’t want to understand. What you need to think about is the following.
The power of the blood demon did not return to Jennyella. Since she personally stepped forward and cut off Jennyella’s limbs, she must also keep her revenge in mind.
‘I don’t know what Jennyella is trying to do in the first place.’
If the reason she left Travia was to feed the Flame Spirit King to Aine, where will she go next?
Now that we’re done with our business, shall we go back to Travia? Or should I move to have Aine feast on another Spirit King?
We must not allow Aine’s power to grow. If King Chang, Lloyd, Scarlett, and Baek Sogo succeed in reverse-summoning the Spirit Kings who have not yet descended, the worst case scenario will be avoided.
‘At least, it would be nice if I could figure out where I’m going.’
Using Erebrisa’s information to determine Zeniella’s location failed.
Jennyella’s whereabouts were not revealed until her last visit to Pemud Volcano. Did he still go back to Trabia?
It would be fortunate if that were the case, but it seemed unlikely that Jennyella would calmly return to Trabia after leaving the mansion. It was clear she was up to something.
For now, I had no choice but to watch the situation. First of all, now that we’ve finished our work here, let’s go back to the fairy forest… … I was thinking of going to Sleeping Forest.
The Queen of Spirits had not descended yet, but it seemed worth checking.
Seongmin Lee, Black Dragon, and Yana headed towards the main gate of the clan. Seongmin Lee took the lead and opened the door.
There were many people standing outside the door. It was natural. Most of the clan’s pavilions collapsed, and a roar that seemed to end the world erupted without stopping.
The sound of weapons clashing, magic exploding, and screaming. All those sounds were made without restraint, so it was natural for people to gather.
“mask… … .”
Someone muttered. Seongmin Lee glanced around at the people gathered. Among the ordinary people who did not know martial arts, there were people who had suppressed the traces of martial arts they had learned to the limit.

Although their appearance was neat, there were also a few open beggars mixed in. Are those who are rolling their eyes and trying to understand the situation Haomun, Gyeongjae, or some other information guild? It didn’t matter either way.
“The blood demon is dead.”
The murmur stopped at the calm declaration.
“It was a personal, trivial reason.”
For the honor of the Master of Sima Lian and Sima Lian, he did not say anything embarrassing.
However, most of those gathered here understood what the ‘private reasons’ were. Guichang was wearing a mask.
Why would he wear a mask and invade the clan and kill the blood demon? The mask was a symbol of Sima Lianju, who died 10 years ago.
“There are quite a few people who died, but there are also many who survived. If you have family or friends inside, you can go in and check. “If you come at me to seek revenge, I won’t accept you.”
When it comes to revenge, there were no people who harbored such violent thoughts. They are monsters that only three of them attacked the clan and won.
In particular, Gwichang Lee Seong-min was the legitimate successor to Sima Lianju and the person who disbanded Sima Lian, and was the one who eliminated Demon King Kim Jong-hyeon and Death Knight Lord Volander. And today, another story was added to the anecdote related to Gwichang.
[Confucius.]
Lee Seong-min’s body, which was about to leave, suddenly froze.
He followed Jeon Eum’s whereabouts. Among the gathered crowd, Lee Seong-min’s eyes met a familiar woman.
Lee Seong-min’s shoulders trembled slightly when he saw the woman’s face. Ten years had passed and he had changed a little, but not to the extent that he could not recognize the woman’s face.
Looking at Lee Seong-min’s surprised expression, Ye-hwa smiled thinly and slightly lowered his head.
[…] … how are you?]
[I thought a lot and experienced a bit of wandering, but… … I have lived according to Ryeonju’s will.]
Sima Lianju’s will was for his personal guards, including Ye Hwa, to leave Wulin and take their own happiness into their own hands.
Don’t take revenge. Do not get involved in Sima Lian affairs. Yehwa lived like that for 10 years.
Seongmin Lee didn’t bother to ask about the wandering she mentioned. The image of Ye Hwa weeping while holding Sima Lianju’s body came to mind.
[…] … Fortunately, the.]
[Do you still have Yeonju in your heart?]
[He was a person who could not be forgotten. He… … There is no doubt that he would say no, but he was like a father to me and other members of the SS.]
Therefore, the will could not be ignored.
[In the end, everyone followed Ryeonju’s will.]
Don’t make extreme choices.
Don’t do anything I don’t like.
Don’t try to take revenge because it will be too much for your abilities.
Don’t even think like a fool to help in the afterlife.
Live.
The entire SS must survive.
It would be nice to leave the martial arts world, or it would be nice to stay, but since this is your life, make sure you live for a long time and live well.
Don’t get involved in Sima Lian’s affairs anymore.
[We… … I’m doing well.]
What about me?
Sima Lianju left a clear will to Ye Hwa and other members of the Royal Guard. But he was not for Lee Seong-min.
Among the wills he left for Lee Seong-min, the only thing he tried to force Lee Seong-min to do was to eat the corpse.
For the rest, Sima Lianju told Lee Seong-min to choose for himself.
Do whatever you want.
Just do whatever you want and don’t regret it.
At the end of his will, Sima Lianju said so. What about me? Seongmin Lee thought about it again.
Do whatever you want… … Did you do it? Any regrets? I don’t know. The reality of the situation was too harsh to do such a thing.
First of all, shouldn’t we do something about the damn ending so we can do whatever we want?
[Confucius… … how are you?]
[I don’t know. Are you really doing well?]
Lee Seong-min smiled bitterly and answered. The spear on his back was heavy, and the mask on his face was heavy.
[…] … I’m trying to get along… … do.]
[please… … May Confucius achieve his wish.]
Yehwa bowed his head and sent a message. Lee Seong-min turned his body with a faint smile on his face. He saw the clan’s door wide open and the clan’s building collapsed.
I didn’t look any further.
“What about a gift?”
When I returned to the fairy forest with mixed feelings. The moment I got off the fairy horse, I heard those words.
Seongmin Lee froze in the same position he was in when he got off the horse and looked down at Teresa.
Teresa, who had a black batting stick hanging from her waist, puffed out her cheeks and looked at Lee Seong-min.
“You forgot, right?”
“… … No way.”
Seongmin Lee answered in a calm voice and put his hand into the subspace pocket. He took out one of the jewels he had that could be used as an ornament.
When she was handed a tiara with colorful jewels, Teresa pouted her lips.
“You didn’t buy it at Harrah’s, right?”
“The city has no specialties. samaryeon… … No, it’s because the clan rules. Or why did you think you should have bought something like the magic sword used by Sapa warriors or the robes worn by warlocks?”
“That’s Okay. Are you asking me to use a dog-catching club and even a yam sword? And wearing warlock robes? “What do you think of me?”
“That’s why I bought Teresa some jewelry that looks good on her. How is it?”
“what… … “If you think about the sense you used to buy a dog-catching club, you have come a long way.”
What’s wrong with the batting stick?
Lee Seong-min wanted to refute, but he quietly kept his mouth shut. From behind Lee Seong-min’s back, the Black Dragon Association slowly came forward.
He slowly put his hand into his arms and pulled out a necklace that didn’t match him at all.
“… … Huh.”
When the Black Dragon Association handed it over without a word, Teresa opened her eyes wide. Lee Seong-min was also surprised.
[When did you buy it?]
[When you run first.]
[You bought it in the meantime?]
[I just wanted to see it on the street.]
The Black Dragon Association replied with a pause. Teresa, who was blinking at her necklace, smiled brightly.
“thank you.”
The Black Dragon’s cheek twitched at those words. Lee Seong-min looked at the Black Dragon from the corner of his eye and shot.
[Think of the age gap.]
[Well, don’t misunderstand me.]
[What is the misunderstanding… … Just look in the mirror and speak.]
The Black Dragon League lowered its eyes at the glance.
“Do you have anything for me?”
Rubia asked as she looked at Teresa putting a tiara on her head and a necklace. Seongmin Lee calmly took out a jewel-studded bracelet from his subspace pocket and handed it to Rubia. As Luvia received the arm, she glanced at her Black Dragon Neck.
“does not exist.”
The Black Dragon Association responded with a proud expression. Rubia clicked her tongue and crossed her arms around Teresa.
The Black Dragon’s cheek twitched under the subtly pressuring gaze. He put his hand into his subspace pocket, searched for a while, and pulled out his old book.
“… … This is the Great Duke of Muryangsinseon… … .”
“I do not need it.”
Luvia was disgusted and cut off the Black Dragon Association.
