finished.
And I was exhausted.
Lee Seong-min’s legs lost strength and he collapsed on the spot. Wijihoyeon approached Lee Seongmin. Wijihoyeon, who could not move properly, approached at a slow pace and sat down near Seongmin Lee. Wijihoyeon looked down at Lee Seong-min, who was covered in wounds. The barding that had been hit by Mancheonhwawoo was full of holes, and the sword that was not pulled out was deeply embedded through the skin and muscles. Blood was flowing out of the wound where the cancerous weapon had been pulled out.
“… Asshole… ”
Wi Ji-ho-yeon pursed his lips and barely managed to say those words, but Lee Seong-min burst into laughter after being scolded.
“You’re talking too harshly.”
“why… Until it ends up like this… ”
“I didn’t want to let you go.”
“Did I ask you to do this?”
“You were sleeping. … did you sleep well?”
“Stupid bastard… !”
In response to Seongmin Lee, Wijihoyeon jerked and stretched out his hand. She grabbed Lee Seong-min’s collar and wheezed, but eventually, unable to continue her words, she put down her hand that was holding his collar.
“… “What would you do if you died?”
“You’re not dead.”
“You could have died… !”
“It’s okay because he didn’t die.”
Wijihoyeon’s voice was ringing in my head. She felt her consciousness fading, and her eyelids became heavy. Wait, wait. Seongmin Lee pursed his lips and spoke in a low voice. From a distance, I could vaguely see Gwangcheonma and Rubia approaching.
“I’ll sleep a little bit.”
Those were the last words.
When I opened my eyes, it was a dark cave. The sound of rain can be heard from afar. Seongmin Lee glanced at the black dragon gun covering his body. Right next to me, Wijihoyeon was asleep, breathing softly.
“Don’t wake me up. “Because I just fell asleep.”
While I was looking at Wijihoyeon’s face, I heard a voice. It was Gwangcheonma. He was leaning against the entrance of a cave not far away, and Rubia was curled up and asleep next to him.
“This place?”
“It’s the cave where the bear lived. “This guy had such a bad smell that he used magic to catch the smell.”
Gwangcheonma said that and laughed.
“You’ve been asleep all day. “Aren’t you hungry?”
“… “It’s painful.”
“I only have bread. … We set our direction to the south and moved, but no one was in a position to move, so we ended up going into the nearby mountain. Although there will be pursuit by the Murim Alliance… “Everyone needed a break.”
Lee Seong-min lifted up the black dragon robe that covered his body. There were no scars left on his body.
“I pulled out the memorization and poured the elixir. I got lucky. “Even after being hit head-on by Mancheonhwawoo, his body was still intact.”
If he hadn’t been wearing barding, his body would have been pulverized the moment he was hit by the Mancheonhwawoo. Thanks to this, the orichalcon coating was completely peeled off, but no matter how valuable orichalcon is, it is not more important than life.
“I heard about the situation from others. Looks like I went crazy again. I didn’t forget the spell and slap… ”
“It’s not a panacea.”
“I’m glad though. Because I didn’t hurt other people. … You said that Sima Lianju intervened and made Amzon retreat? “I didn’t expect to receive help from that mysterious great man.”
Gwangcheonma muttered. Sima Lianju. Ephedra Yangilcheon. He is considered the greatest expert of the Four Schools and stands at the pinnacle of the Four Horsemen. Although he had a high name and nickname, he had not been seen publicly for several decades, so there was talk among political factions that he was already dead.
But Sima Lianju was alive. I don’t know why, but he seemed to be quite fond of Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min was suspicious of strangers he had never met showing favor to him.
“Sama Lianju said he would protect Wijihoyeon.”
“I don’t think it’s a bad offer. “It would be better to receive Sima Lianju’s protection than to have it stolen by the Murim Alliance and handed over to Tian Yue Tian.”
“I don’t know if I should trust him.”
“I don’t even know what kind of person Sima Lianju is. Because I’ve never met him. however… ”
Gwangcheonma, looking at Lee Seong-min’s face, tilted his head.
“you. “What’s wrong with your eyes?”
“yes?”
Seongmin Lee blinked at Gwangcheonma’s words. He searched in his subspace pocket and took out a mirror. The face reflected in the mirror was unfamiliar. Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve looked at my face in a mirror like this. Seongmin Lee froze as he looked at his face in the mirror.
My left eye looked strange. His right eye was black as usual, but his left eye was tinted a pale gold. Lee Seong-min was startled and covered his left eye with his palm.
[It’s a strange eye.]
Heo Joo’s voice rang in my head. Yoan? When I thought about it again, Heoju clicked her tongue and said,
[This is evidence that your body has become stained with witch power and has begun to transform into a monster. There won’t be any problem now, just the color has changed… If you continue to use your magic power, the transformation will begin properly.]
Seongmin Lee tried the fortune-telling breakfast. The magical power pooled at the bottom of the Danjeon was bigger than before. It was evidence that the side effects of using Heoju’s magical powers to protect Wijihoyeon were starting to take over his body. Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip.
[The power of a monster is dangerous to humans. Consider yourself fortunate that it ended like this.]
Heoju warned.
[Even though he lost his body, this old man was one of the greatest monsters in the world. It is not a common miscellany, but the use of the magic power of a great youkai in a human body. If your body didn’t have an incredibly strange heart, the moment you used magical power, your body wouldn’t be able to withstand it and you would have died. Or maybe he lost his temper and went crazy. In your case, you avoided those two, but it seems you couldn’t avoid the transformation into a youkai.]
Lee Seong-min bit his lower lip while listening to Heo-ju’s words. He was prepared for something like this to happen. Lee Seong-min wanted to protect Wijihoyeon, even giving up his humanity and becoming a monster.
[It’s still okay. If you don’t use the magic energy that is stored in the Danjeon, it will just remain stagnant. but… I don’t know what’s next. Your case is unprecedented. It is rare for a human to become a youkai, but it is not unheard of.]
Seongmin Lee put down the mirror. Even though he suddenly had golden eyes, he was relieved that he was still okay. Seongmin Lee chewed his lower lip and closed his left eye.
“… Who is the Predator’s Slaughter Predator?”
While blocking Amzon, Sima Lianju said. There are only three beings in this world that he feels uncomfortable with. The shaman’s sword, Cheon Oecheon’s martial spirit, and the Predator’s slaughter and predation. Among them, Geomseon is probably a shaman living in seclusion, and although we do not know who the shaman is, we can guess the general idea through the existence of the Six Venerable Ones. But I don’t know who the Predator’s slaughter predator is.
[It is the monster among monsters that the Predator’s long-standing monsters desire. Vampire Queen, Arch Lich, Yokai, Lycan Slope, Death Knight. It does not refer to any one of those five monsters, but to the king of monsters who will one day appear and rise to the top of the Predator.]
Heoju burst out laughing.
[At least 400 years ago, when this elder was around, slaughter and predation did not exist.]
It reminds me of Sima Lianju. And Amzone too. Cheon Oecheon… Lee Seong-min was much stronger than he thought. Even though he brought out his magical power, he was unable to gain the upper hand in the fight against Amzon. If Amzon had tried to kill Lee Seong-min from the beginning, he wouldn’t have even been able to resist.
I used every means possible to draw out my magical power. Muyeongtalhon’s Sambo’s special assassination and Gucheonmugeukchang’s Gwancheon. It was shocking that even though they fought with buff magic, they could not gain the upper hand. If Amzon had not shown composure, he would not have been able to inflict fatal wounds with the Sambo special move.
‘but… ‘I could have killed him.’
Even if it is said to be the result of Amzon being careless. If Sima Lianju had not appeared, Lee Seong-min would have been able to kill Amzon. In the end, Sima Lianju’s actions were right. If Lee Seong-min had killed Amzon there, Cheon Oecheon would have immediately taken revenge.
‘What should I do next?’
Sima Lianju said that he would protect Wijihoyeon. About that… Seongmin Lee didn’t know what to do. The one to choose is Wi Ji-ho-yeon, not Lee Seong-min.

‘I’m still weak.’
If I had been stronger than anyone else in the world, I wouldn’t have had to go through this crisis. You will be able to protect Wijihoyeon without needing the protection of Sima Lianju, and you will not have to worry about the pursuit of the Murim Alliance.
‘I need more.’
I needed strength.
*
For a day, Amzon tended to his wounds. Those incredibly strange steps. The storm of strength created with three steps was so powerful that even knowing it, it could not be destroyed. Even though Amzon didn’t do his best, Gui Spear’s martial arts skills… It was so fierce that it caught Amzon off guard and killed him.
‘It’s not as good as Socheonma. I never thought it would be that outstanding… ‘
Amzon chewed his lower lip. Even though the yoma’s power has increased, its martial arts should not be ignored. Rather, it should be seen as more dangerous because the yoma’s power has increased. He was a human being. He’s still human. But the power and energy he uses are not human… Maybe he is the one who will become the vessel of massacre and predation.
‘no. This is overthinking. He was never meant to do that.’
Amzon stood up. Thanks to resting for a day and borrowing the power of the potion, all of Amzon’s wounds were healed. He wanted to continue pursuing Gwi-chang and Socheon-ma, but the existence of Sa Beop-ju was at stake. The Sima Lianju we saw yesterday was nothing more than an alter ego, but Sima Lianju’s strange boatwork is not something that can be ignored just because it is an alter ego. The organization called Sima Lian is not that great compared to the Heavenly Outer Heaven, but the existence of Sima Lian Ju is higher than the Six Exalted Ones.
First of all, we must inform you about this matter. Amzon took out a crystal ball.
[Come back.]
When informed of Sima Lianju’s intervention and the unexpectedly high Guichang’s inaction, such an answer came back from beyond the crystal ball. It was so surprising that Amzon was silent for a moment, his mouth half open.
“why?”
I couldn’t understand, so I asked back.
“Even if Sima Lianju’s self-immolation intervenes again, it will ultimately be self-immolation. Now that I know how strong Guichang is, I will no longer show any complacency. “There is no problem in bringing Socheonma.”
[I guess so. But there is no longer a need for that.]
“What are you saying? why?”
[Because the flow has changed.]
A voice answered.
[Socheonma had to come to Cheonoecheon. At least until yesterday. However, thanks to Sima Lianju’s intervention and the presence of Guichang, Socheonma did not need to come here.]
“… “Do you mean the spirit medium?”
[It’s been a while since I had a reception. The god of war has also given permission, so don’t be stubborn and come back.]
Amzon kept his mouth shut. If a psychic had contacted me and even allowed martial arts… There is no need for Amzon to chase Socheonma anymore.
“What is Socheonma’s curse?”
[The medium said nothing about that. I feel sorry for Gwon Jon, but he will have to work harder in the future.]
The conversation ended there. Although Socheonma’s curse is maintained, it does not force Cheonoecheon to take Socheonma. Amzon couldn’t understand it, but he couldn’t argue with it or reject it either. Amzon clicked his tongue and raised his body.
‘I ended up being disgraced.’
Amzon frowned as he thought of Lee Seong-min.
