Episode 80 Jeju Island (4)
“Who are you!”
Killua was scared and took a step back.
Fear of an unexpected phenomenon was written on his face.
‘That’s not the human I came in with.’
It was a situation that made no sense for another mental body to be inside one human mind.
‘And this guy escaped from the human…’
The being standing in front of him had a different temperament from that of a human.
The mental body had the appearance of a human, but it felt like it had a power beyond the human shell.
“How can someone like you be here!”
“There are a lot of questions about the person who will die soon.”
Darkness smiled coldly.
He radiated an overwhelming presence just by standing there.
-What is this situation now?
‘This is your mental world. Properly speaking, it’s in front of the entrance to your mental world.’
-My mental world?
Baek Woo-jin was now looking at Killua with dark eyes.
The darkness was the opposite of how I normally see the world from Baek Woo-jin’s side.
-That’s why I deliberately told you to take his attack.
‘right. ‘I plan to kill that brat here.’
The dark voice was full of confidence and arrogance that had not been heard recently.
‘Watch. ‘I’ll show you what I’m made of.’
-Are you on form? Kinda cool?
‘Keuung…’
Heukam came forward, ignoring Baek Woo-jin’s teasing.
If I listened to that guy, I felt like all the weight I was holding on to would be lifted.
“Damn you!”
Killua inflated his body.
His body inflated like a balloon and became as big as a 10-story building.
“Kaaaa!”
Killua let out a roar as if threatening the darkness and unleashed his magical power.
-Why do you look pitiful?
Baek Woo-jin looked at Killua and thought that she looked like a frightened animal after meeting its natural enemy.
It seemed to be an expression of not trying to attack the enemy, but rather telling them to just leave without raising their hair and attacking themselves.
“That’s why I’m not allowed to be a small child.”
Even after seeing Killua become huge, Darkness just smiled.
“profit!”
Killua trembled at Darkness’s cynical response.
Gritting his teeth, he raised his huge paw and struck the darkness.
Coooooo!
However, Killua’s foot was blocked by one of the little fingers raised by the darkness, so he could not go down any further.
“How could this be…”
Killua’s huge eyes were filled with shock.
I wondered if it was possible to block an attack with just one finger.
“It’s not a kid’s joke.”
When the darkness snapped its fingers, Killua was pushed back and fell.
“Off….”
“You and I are on different levels.”
-Have you prepared your lines? Is it cool?
‘Shut up!’
Darkness frowned.
Baek Woo-jin was making fun of himself even in this situation.
There is one really big thing you need to know.
‘Class is not simply a word used for fashion purposes.’
-then?
‘What is important in the battle of the mental world is mental strength, experience in the mental world, and status.’
Darkness spoke with strength in the word ‘gyeok’.
Of the three, this seemed to be particularly important.
‘The many things you have achieved so far accumulate and build up your status.’
-What have you accumulated?
‘The rank you have accumulated is also reflected in your sword.’
-Hmm….
After listening to the words of darkness, I roughly understood what it meant.
It seemed like everything he had done was accumulating in his soul and giving him strength.
“Aaaah!”
Killua screamed and released magical energy through every pore in her body.
The magic energy that had spread was broken into small pieces, creating over hundreds of Killua.
“Kaaaa!”
“Aaaah!”
“Aaaah!”
The clones also unleashed their magic energy and created other clones.
In an instant, the entire mental world was covered with Killua’s clones.
“It’s an alter ego. “How can it be so unexpected?”
Darkness shook his head and pulled out the sword hanging from his waist.
His sword was completely black, including the blade and handle.
It looked like he was holding a black fog.
“Baek Woo-jin. “Take a good look.”
-what?
“This is the true island of massacre.”
The darkness spoke and swung its sword at the same time.
Black and red auras burned like a torch from his sword.
Quaaaaa!
The dark aura gave off a bright light like a flame that opened heaven and earth.
A dark red flash extending from the sword tore through the world and engulfed all existing Killua at once.
Quaaaaa!
Killua’s self-immolation, which had attracted over 10,000 people at once, was completely erased.
All that was left was Killua’s body, which created a hole to escape from here.
‘Did you see it?’
-…It’s completely different.
‘The stronger you become, the more I can use the power I have.’
-In the end, there is still a long way to go.
‘Of course. ‘You’re still just a kid.’
Darkness chuckled.
“Ah…”
Killua, who was left alone, turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
Giantization and self-immolation did not work on that monster.
“Where are you going?”
Darkness appeared in front of Killua.
“You can come in as you please, but not when you leave.”
Darkness struck Killua’s temple with a black fist.
“Kwaaaak!”
Killua ran wild on the floor, clutching her crushed head.
-It hurts a lot.
‘I feel the same pain here as outside. No, it feels worse than it actually is.’
-really?
‘The moment that guy broke your mental barrier, you would have felt so much pain that you wanted to break your head.’
-Hmm…
Baek Woo-jin glared at Killua at the words of darkness.
I wanted to inflict more pain on those damn demons.
“Let’s get this over with. “Mindaka Demon.”
Darkness raised its sword and approached Killua.
-hey. Darkness.
‘What?’
-Hit that guy in the back of the head.
‘what?’
-Try to hit that demon guy in the back.
‘Why are you asking me to do that?’
-You were curious as you watched me beat up other guys. Just give it a try.
‘Uhm…’
Darkness stopped the hand holding the sword.
I was definitely curious as to why Baek Woo-jin was so obsessed.
-You saw Ara enjoying being stabbed in the back. Even a child without such grime would find it fun.
‘You really are…’
However, I don’t know whether Baek Woo-jin, who induces violence, is the devil or whether the person trembling in front of him is the devil.
“Ugh…”
Darkness stood behind Killua, who had barely come to his senses.
Wow!
He spread his palm wide and struck Killua on the back of the head.
“Wow!”
Killua hit his head on the floor without even knowing what was happening.
“Aaaah!”
Killua clutched the back of her head and screamed as if she was in pain.
“Hmm…”
Darkness looked at his hands and made an ambiguous expression.
I wanted to say to Baek Woo-jin, ‘It’s nothing special,’ but it was definitely different.
The feeling of hitting was good, and I especially liked the cool hitting sound called ‘ppagak’.
-Isn’t it cool? Does the hitting feel different?
‘I’m pretty good.’
-That’s right. Especially the sound is refreshing. As expected, the back of the head works in the mental world as well.
Baek Woo-jin was laughing excitedly, saying that he had created another blind believer.
“Hmm…”
Darkness struck Killua, who was unable to come to his senses, on the back of his head in order to feel the taste of the back of his head once again.
Bye!
The sound of something breaking was heard, and the light in Killua’s eyes disappeared.
“Off…”
This time, the shock was even greater, so I couldn’t come to my senses at all.
“This is quite…”
-It’s fun, right? I heard it’s fun!
“I hate to admit it, but it sure is fun to play.”
The darkness struck Killua in the back of the head before he could even get up yet.
Wow!
Killua was hit in the back of the head and pinned to the ground like a tree.
He screamed in his fading mind.
‘Just kill him. He is worse than this devil….’
* * *
“Magi?”
Those with abilities who were waiting at the association building felt the magical energy of the demons on the nearby beach.
It disappeared in an instant, but it was clearly the magical energy of a demon race.
“It’s urgent! “Get ready!”
“We’re leaving right away!”
Under Baek Eun-gyeong and Hwang Ho’s instructions, the talented people equipped themselves and prepared to move.
All the talented people except Daegi-jo ran to the place where the demon energy came from.
However, there were no demons at that place, and only Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young were walking.
“Baek Woo-jin?”
“Why is that guy coming from over there?”
“I told you not to come out!”
The talented people tilted their heads, and Hwangho and Yeomsa frowned and ran towards Baek Woojin.
“You idiot, you still leave even if I tell you that demons are after you!”
“Did you really think you could really defeat the demons? “You’re being arrogant without even knowing the topic!”
Hwangho and Yeomsa began to criticize Baek Woojin as if now was their opportunity.
“It’s obvious to see the little colt coming back like a spoiled colt. “You must have missed the demon.”
“I’ve already missed the demons twice because of you. “Are you not thinking about the harm it causes to the general public?”
Hwangho and Yeomsa thought that Baek Woo-jin had missed the demon and was returning.
So they were criticizing Baek Woo-jin, even including ordinary people who didn’t even care.
“Um…”
“Then why are you coming forward?”
The talented people behind their criticism also came to have negative thoughts about Baek Woo-jin.
“This is why young people…”
As Yeomsa sarcastically continued to the end, Baek Woo-jin raised his hand.
In his hand was a black jewel.
Inside the jewel, white energy was flowing like fog.
“Ah, the soul of the devil!”
“Ah…”
The talented people opened their mouths when they saw the jewel in Baek Woo-jin’s hand.
Their eyes shook violently, and some even fell backwards in shock.
“How did you do that!”
“The fact that a demon has a soul means that you have caught a demon! “Just the two of us!”
“Oh my…”
The demon soul is an item that appears when you catch a demon, like a magic stone.
It has much denser mana than a magic stone, so it has an elixir-like effect on warriors and wizards.
“I didn’t do anything. “When I came to my senses, the master had taken care of the demon.”
“omg!”
“Are you sure?”
“That’s right. “You captured the demon by yourself.”
The powerful people swallowed their dry saliva at Moon Ju-young’s words.
When I heard that Baek Woo-jin caught the demon alone and that it wasn’t the two of them catching it, I could only keep my mouth open in shock.
“That…”
“Ah…”
In particular, Hwangho and Yeomsa, who had criticized Baek Woojin earlier, were so distraught that they couldn’t even close their eyes properly.
I couldn’t say anything and could only stare blankly at Baek Woo-jin.
“Stop blocking the road like an idiot and get out.”
Baek Woo-jin patted Hwang-ho and Yeom-sa on the shoulders and passed by.
The two were unable to move even after being scolded by the younger Baek Woo-jin.
“Tsk.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the two, clicked his tongue as if he was pitiful, and approached Baek Eun-kyung.
“Now that we have caught the demon, we can lift the guard on Jeju Island.”
“How did you catch it?”
Baek Eun-kyung stared at the devil’s soul for a long time and then uttered one word.
“With my sword.”
Baek Woo-jin spoke lightly and entered the association building.
-I caught it, so it’s not wrong.
The blade flashed as if the darkness was correct.
“Really? “It doesn’t seem real.”
“No, that one! “I’m speechless.”
“Huh….”
It was so surprising that even when Baek Woo-jin disappeared, the talented people looked like their souls had disappeared.
* * *
Baek Woo-jin fell on the bed as soon as he entered the dorm.
Because what I was fighting in the spirit world was darkness, I wasn’t tired at all, but I couldn’t avoid the approaching beasts.
Is it because I haven’t had a dream in a while? I could feel that I was dreaming.
The back was visible.
That back was the same as when it was the person of darkness we had just seen.
There were dozens of warriors in front of him.
The warriors aimed their swords and swords at the darkness, spewed out intense deadly force, and screamed incomprehensibly.
I couldn’t see its expression because I couldn’t see in front of it, but the darkness didn’t say or do anything and just crossed its arms.
Among the warriors, a handsome young man in a white robe raised his sword and shouted, and all the warriors rushed towards the darkness.
They rushed towards the darkness with fierce killing power and auras as if they were tearing its limbs apart.
Darkness sighed and drew his sword.
A red and black auror was used on that sword.
Heukam bit his teeth harshly and lashed out at the warriors.
At once, dozens of warriors were scattered like sand swept away by waves.
In a place where not even a corpse remained, darkness turned around.
The dark face, except for the mouth, was obscured by black fog.
However, just by looking at its tightly closed mouth, I could tell that the darkness was very sad.
“Not yet…”
My dream was shattered when I heard a dry voice from the darkness.
* * *
Baek Woo-jin woke up and rubbed his eyes.
I felt water forming in my eyes.
-Did you see it?
Darkness muttered in an awkward voice.
“That’s you, right?”
-right. Old memories came back, albeit slightly.
“Who are the warriors who challenged you?”
-I don’t know. I just remembered that they weren’t enemies from the beginning.
A bitter voice came from the darkness.
“Then you can find your memories this way…”
Ding!
[You have removed the demon Killua from the spirit world.]
[All abilities increase.]
[Killua’s movement characteristic ‘Evasion’ is absorbed into the Nameless Step.]
[I witnessed the completed island of massacre.]
[About the island’s Understanding has increased.]
[The range of the island field widens.]
[The activation speed of the island field increases.]
[The destructive power of the island field becomes stronger.]
-….
“….”
Looking at the status window that appears, Both Heukam and Baek Woojin were speechless.
-I did the work, so why are you making such a fuss!
