Chapter 17 – Cheonho (3)
“Dog, fucking bitch…? “You’re such a bitch…?”
“Why are you skipping the geumma, you stupid bitch? “Did you lose your intelligence because the horn got stuck in your brain?”
“This fucking bastard?!”
The satyr bitch must have been so pissed off that she hit my butt. Suddenly, I heard a sound that shouldn’t come from my legs.
“Wow…!”
When I came to my senses, before I knew it, I had fallen into a state of complete collapse on the floor. The satyr bitch said as she put her foot on my chest.
“The best we can do is to be a human selling our bodies…! Ok, fine. “If you want to die so badly, I’ll grant you your wish…!”
Suddenly, a fireball rose from the hand of the bitch who lightly crushed my leg.
He has physical abilities that are incomparable to mine, and he even uses magic. As someone who is only physically fit, there is nothing I can do about the gap in power.
Simply because they were of different races, their starting points were so different.
It’s fucking equal too.
Mother.
Anyway, I thought about getting beaten up, but I didn’t even think about this. I could feel the heat of the fire rising in front of me even from here.
If you were hit by that fireball, you couldn’t even remove the bones, and they would just be burned to the ground. It was clear that at least one place would be burned and left disabled.
When the situation got like this, the bitches around me seemed to have thought that things were getting serious, so I saw bitches approaching the satyr bitch, but before those bitches could do anything to the satyr bitch, I was going to be the first to be roasted.
I burst out laughing.
‘Eyes that are infinitely sincere about their own lives. And yet, even if he dies soon, he cannot give up his pride. ‘The eyes that glared at me even though I wanted to live so badly, even in a situation where I would be thrown out.’
Because I remembered what Lilith had said to me.
‘There are only two bastards with eyes like that. Either you struggle to live like that and eventually die, or you survive to the end and achieve what you wanted.’
I guess I was the type of guest. Thinking like that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Smile? Do you think I’m joking, brother? Or are you scared out of your mind?”
I opened my mouth with difficulty at the satyr who was growling as if she didn’t like me very much.
“Your teeth are so fucking long… Such a sick bitch.”
“Profit…!”
The satyr bitch finally exploded at my words and threw a fireball at me.
Slowly, I saw a fireball falling on me.
Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Wouldn’t it have been like this if I had just given up my pride? To be honest, there was no reason to rush this far, right?
But… What was the reason why it couldn’t be done?
Was it really that bad to be called a male prostitute? No, that wasn’t it. Because compared to all the ridicule I’ve received in my life, it was nothing.
Then why?
The satyr bitch who tried to use her powers to eat other people’s backs?
That wasn’t it either.
There must have been one or two bitches who ate my back, but to be honest, my back was practically public property. A cub that can’t eat an orphaned cub that had no power and no parents is at the level of an idiot.
Favor, trust, love.
And so many more.
These are natural things that others are just born with and acquire one by one as they grow up.
Once upon a time, when I was young, I cried because I wanted them, and how much I cried because I was deceived.
So that wasn’t it either.
Question after question seemed to follow, but I soon found out the answer.
Is there a reason to live like that?
That’s what I thought, so I jumped at it.
I wasn’t angry because I heard a male prostitute.
Because that was a fact.
It wasn’t because it was shitty to try to eat someone else’s back.
Because in life, there are days when you have such a shitty experience.
Before the world went to shit, and even after it went to shit, I lived through all kinds of shitty things.
I was born as an abandoned orphan, raised by a shitty orphanage director who only saw the children as money to collect support funds, the job I had so desperately wanted was taken away by a damn rat who radiated electricity, and my life was already at the bottom as I was pushed and pushed by people of a different race. I even felt pushed down.
Even if you do this, you won’t die?
Even if this happens, you won’t give up, will you?
As if the world was telling me so, I had to keep crawling on the floor.
Pushed, run over, discriminated against, the only thing he had was an orphan who didn’t even know his mother’s face, so he had no choice but to live like that.
Even for me, that’s all I have.
It was just my little pride.
The only thing I have is pride, which is of no help in life. That’s all… Are you going to bend over even that?
Kang Hanzo was created by a mother who didn’t even know her face. She crushed the nose of a child who made fun of that name and never gave in to her pride even when she was beaten to death by the father of that child and the fucking orphan director.
Even the bitches who tried to fuck my back, I lived by fucking them in one way or another.
I lived like that my whole life to protect my small pride.
You can never do it.
It was something I could never do.
I would have rather died, but I had no intention of living a miserable life.
Anyway, I have no regrets.
Since I didn’t have anything, I couldn’t afford to have any regrets. I kept what little pride I had, so that was enough.
Okay, that’s enough.
I’d like to think so.
For some reason, the face of Lilith smiling playfully came to mind.
‘Won’t you be my child?’
‘I’m a virgin, you fucking idiot’
When you see a topic for the first time, you immediately like it, so you tell it to be your own child. Isn’t it loud-mouthed? Doesn’t it often start throwing fists and feet?
However, despite this, I remembered Lilith, who looked at me as I was.
I am not an orphaned cub, but a Kang Hanjo.
What should I do, fuck.
I think I have regrets.
“Fuck…”
But no matter what I wanted to do, I couldn’t run away because that damn bitch had eaten my legs. It was too late to run away in the first place.
“Amy, really…”
In the end, all I could do was look at the fireball reaching me and swear.
I closed my eyes just before the fireball hit my body.
But… For some reason, no matter how much time passed, my whole body didn’t burn or get crazy hot.
“Refu that doesn’t get hot…?”
Or was it just burned to the ground without even having time to think about it?
With that thought in mind, I opened my eyes and saw a golden tail.
Nine pairs of flowing golden tails. They were visible before my eyes.
The amulet with a bell attached to each end of the tail made a refreshing, tinkling sound with each movement of the tail.
“Are you okay? “It’s a child.”
And, seeing the woman looking back at me and asking that question, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.
Two pairs of twinkling eyes, as if containing a rainbow, were curved as if drawing a crescent moon. The eyes were so beautiful that I realized too late that they were smiling at me.
The satyr bitch struggling with her head held in the grasp of a woman as beautiful as Lilith was there, a person so captivating that I couldn’t even see her.
But the reason I was surprised wasn’t simply because the woman in front of me was beautiful.
“Det…?”
“Don’t be scared. I’m just here to help you. “Come on, kid.”
Wait a minute, why don’t you close your eyes?
As he said that, his fluttering tail covered my eyes.
As the fluffy golden tail wrapped around my face, I felt lost in a different way.
And then, I heard a woman’s voice and that damn satyr’s voice in my ears.
“Okay then. “I will ask you for your sins.”
“Kyaaa?!”
“The laws established in this world are strict, but the first sin is to use magic for one’s own personal use to bewitch a person. The second crime is to intimidate someone weaker than you by force. Also, trying to cover up this with violence is the third sin. All of them are ruthless and vicious. Do you know your sins?”
“Now, wait… Wait… Why, you… Why…?”
“I came to see a friend and there was a commotion. It must have been unlucky for you. But it must have been a good thing for that kid. Did you think that kid could have survived that fire? Do you know how heavy what you have done is?”
“Save me… Save me…”
“I will not discipline you and rule you with death. For I am not the one who will hold you accountable for your sins, and I have no such authority. However.”
With a popping, popping sound. A screaming sound was heard.
“I will engrave on your body the principle that wrong power is crushed by more power.”
The screams that had been going on for a long time eventually ended.
When the tail that was blocking my eyes was removed, what I saw was a satyr lying unconscious on the floor.
A satyr trembling and foaming at the mouth.
There were no wounds anywhere on the body, but looking at the satyr so bad, I couldn’t even imagine what had happened to him.
“Don’t worry about that girl, she’s just upset because she’s weighed down by her karma.”
“You weren’t worried or anything?”
“Is that so?”
I saw a woman looking at me while covering her mouth and smiling. As she looked at the woman in a daze, she looked slightly embarrassed at my gaze and said,
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh at you.”
“No, you didn’t think about that?”
“Is that so? What a kind kid. Rather… Show your legs here. “I need to see your wounds.”
“Yes?”
Ah, legs.
When I looked at my leg, I saw that my right leg had been twisted in a strange direction due to the satyr bitch’s tight kick.
Mom, fuck you.
It was a serious injury that appeared to be at least 12 weeks old.
When I saw my legs bent like a bow and felt like shit.
The woman reached out her hand and massaged my leg.
“Fortunately, there aren’t that many injuries. I’m fortunate that my body is strong. “Be thankful to your parents for giving birth to such a healthy body.”
“…I’m an orphan.”
“Oh my, I’m sorry…”
I felt even more sorry because I had unintentionally ended up criticizing the person who helped me.
“Ah, anyway… It will get better soon, so don’t worry.”
The wound looks like it’s at least 12 weeks old, but it’s going to heal quickly?
As I was thinking that, the woman who was massaging my leg took her talisman from her own tail and attached it to her leg.
“Huh?!”
Then, I saw my twisted leg move as it should and straighten.
The problem is that it hurt so fucking much in the process.
“Okay, now it’s done.”
As I said that, it hurt like crazy until I took her amulet off my leg. However, I guess I could say it was thanks to that, that my legs, which had been in a state of jealousy a while ago, were back to normal.
“Magic is amazing…”
“It’s not magic, it’s witchcraft.”
“Renew the spell…”
I immediately corrected myself and saw the woman laughing as she looked at me. When she saw such a woman, she suddenly came to her senses and I lowered my head and said,
“Anyway… Thank you very much.”
“There is no need to be grateful. When you see something wrong, it is right to step forward and help. However, I also have something to blame you for.”
As I looked at the hand outstretched to me and looked at it blankly, the woman who grabbed me and helped me up said.
“He is stronger than you. “Why don’t you take life seriously?”
“…It was that fucking bitch’s fault, but should I bow down? “I don’t want to do that.”
When I thought about being bullied by a satyr, I couldn’t help but swear. And the woman who heard me opened her eyes and looked at me.
The woman who lightly massaged the satyr who had almost harassed me made such an expression, and I thought she was very cute.
But that lasted only a moment, and the woman soon smiled. Her smile was so beautiful that it made you think the world was melting just by looking at that smile.
As I was staring blankly at that smile, the woman said.
“You are right. Indeed, it is unjust to bow down to a wrongdoer because he is strong. I insulted your resolve. “I have already been rude to you so many times, what should I do about this?”
Nine tails were seen swaying gently behind the woman’s back.
As if he was very happy, his gently fluttering tail soon stopped.
“Yes, this would be a good idea. I will pay for the sin of humiliating you three times. Did you say he was an orphan? He calls wrong what is wrong and does not break his spirit even when oppressed. Even if he is not talented, he is a person who will become great if he works hard. “Child, won’t you become my disciple?”
“Yes?”
“Don’t worry, you have enough power to protect yourself. “There is no need to think too harshly of me as a disciple, so you can think of me as your mother.”
“No, wait a minute…”
“Ah, yes. You must be worried. The first person I saw immediately told me to become his disciple. “Well, it’s a bit embarrassing because there are so many false names, but let me introduce myself.”
No.
I know.
Of course, he was as famous as Lilith, so there was no way he didn’t know about it.
Before I could say that, the woman opened her mouth.
“Her maiden’s name is Ho-Aran. She is the master of the art of magic that connects all the states of Samrajiji (森羅地積) and the guardian of heaven (天狐).”
Hoaran.
Because she, like her Lilith, was a being called a twenty-two hero.
Nine golden tails were seen fluttering, covering Hoaran’s body. Hoa-ran continued her words, flicking the tip of her tail as if she were loving it.
“He is the master of the nine tails who has reached the nine principles.”
