Chapter 147 – Haeju (1)
Killing stone. The thing that the Tang Dynasty and the blood ties worked together to implant into Beatrice’s body had fiercely resisted my aura before. The moment I touched it, my hand flew off.
It was different now. It was similar to the fact that there was a backlash when it was touched with the first true weapon, but when it was forcibly pressed with the Heavenly Demon Singong, the killing stone quickly gave up its resistance, like a creature with a will.
Step by step, I scanned the killing stone from the outside. It was complicated. The power of the red cursed Jin, Jinbeop, and the killing stone itself were elaborately mixed. Since it was practically one body, it was quite risky to pick and remove only one.
‘This is why no one can touch it.’
I finished my judgment and removed my hand from her body. Beatrice, who had her eyes closed, looked up at me blankly while lying down.
“Isn’t it a bit messy?”
“Rather than messy, it’s complete.”
Surprisingly it was. The more I looked at it, the more it was like a carefully calculated piece of art. It was kind of terrifying, though.
“…I guess it’s going to be hard.”
“It seems possible to remove the curse itself, but in the worst case, you may lose not only supernatural ability but also martial arts.”
It was questionable whether he would be able to withstand the aftermath of Haeju, even if he had the strong body of a pure-blooded member and the powerful regenerative ability unique to blood-gong. In addition, I was a little concerned about what would happen if I forcibly removed something that was so sticky. He had the confidence not to die, but it was impossible to protect all of the dantian, meridians, and blood vessels.
“Mmm.”
Beatrice frowned and stood up. Then he drank the water next to him and opened his mouth.
“Brother. Do you know how terrible it is to have your thoughts forced against your will? I’m gonna stop now It’s better to lose martial arts than to go on like this and become a puppet of the Spirit of Blood. No, I’d rather die. ‘Cause I don’t care please.”
I nodded her head heavily and placed my palm on the top of her chest as she lay back.
‘Only a curse.’
It suppresses the energy of the Killing Stone and separates and removes only the part that has been infiltrated with the curse with the energy of the Heavenly Demon Spirit. It was the realm of witchcraft, but it was originally a new technology study. If you go to the end, you will be a noble class, and the boundary between witchcraft and martial arts is also blurred.
As if the phantom warlord’s strategy was no different from martial arts.
‘Miracle.’
Create miracles with the power of will. Tae Sang-ho Reproduce what the elderly showed me while saving me. It happened while I was unconscious, but the memory was imprinted on my body. I didn’t think it was impossible.
Slowly.
The energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Spirit penetrated the red cursed formation. Beatrice’s body trembled, but even that was fixed firmly with Ki. There was no need for restraints.
The curse surrounding the Killing Stone repeatedly evaded and vigorously resisted. It’s better to fight the Hwagyeong master, because I’ve never been able to operate such a precise novelty. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As if fighting for territory, the curse was erased little by little.
How much time has passed
I felt the end approaching as I operated the true ki in a trance.
‘Now.’
Gathering both hands together, I finally hit the energy of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art. Koo-Goo-Goo- The removed curse was scattered in all directions and a heavy vibration ran through the room.
Damn-!
The sound of something breaking echoed inside Beatrice. My hands were also shaking.
‘Kuk.’
He is forcibly suppressed with the power of the Heavenly Demon Spirit and his will, but the energy inside the Killing Stone has not calmed down. It was like a fish out of water. As the curse magic disappeared, he aimed for the gap created and tried to escape endlessly.
The line between reality and truth was blurred, and the room was stained with darkness. The chill that seeped into my bones tried to invade my body.
‘No doubt.’
Tamamo-no-Mae, the nine-tailed fox is a mighty being, but I have even more inside of me. It’s a killing stone, but it seems like he ate a lot of additional humans because of the experiments he did.
It was nothing more than a speck compared to the Void Dragon or the Fire Demon. Not to mention all of the martial gods, and no souls that strengthen the supernatural powers of the mercenary warfare.
‘Go in.’
He commanded with the power of a triple battle and strong will. So that you can’t easily aim for a gap again. Beatrice’s body, which had been shaking violently, gradually stabilized.
“Whoa…”
I let out a long breath and removed my hand from Beatrice’s body.
Did you succeed?
Half success Although he succeeded in removing the curse, he was unable to completely suppress the rampage of the killing stone. Of course, even this result could be called a miracle. In the worst case, the meridians and blood vessels could be damaged from the short circuit, and it could be a situation where martial arts could not be used again. Beatrice’s eyelids twitched as the darkness that covered her surroundings gradually disappeared.
“…The curse has been lifted.”
At my words, Beatrice struggled to open her mouth.
“…Thank you. Wow…!”
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Beatrice held my hand tightly. It was very, very cold. It was hard to see because it was the hands of a living person. I pulled out a wet tissue and wiped Beatrice’s mouth.
“We have failed to completely contain the runaway. It would be better to refrain from martial arts until the situation is certain to stabilize.”
“That’s enough… Can you hug me? It’s a bit cold…”
Beatrice said, forcing the corners of her mouth to rise. Feeling sorry for her pale face, which pretended to be her natural calm, I took her in her arms and patted her on the back. Beatrice buried her face in my chest and pursed her lips.
“…Don’t you hate it because it’s cold?”
“It’s cool, so it’s not bad.”
It’s cold. I got used to it thanks to the midsummer. However, Beatrice’s body temperature was extremely low, to the extent that it could be said that she had mastered the ice ball. It was much lower than usual in midsummer.
“You can’t suppress your tone.”
Holding Beatrice in her arms, I calmly contemplated her inside. The runaway was suppressed, but the amount of yin energy leaking out of her killing stone was too great. It was breaking the balance of yin and yang in the body.
It was like midsummer when I first entered this world.
“Yes. The nine-tailed fox is originally strong enough to symbolize yin and cancer… But thank you. Something feels clear in my head. It was something like this… It was something like this,”
Beatrice muttered something incomprehensible. My chest got wet little by little.
“Thank you, junior. I get help every time.”
“It is not over yet. I’ll have to look at the timeline. I hope you will listen without misunderstanding.”
“…Yes.”
“Can I go to bed tonight?”
“Yes…?”
Beatrice lifted her chin and tilted her head. She met her gaze with her wet eyes.
“I know it wouldn’t work, but just in case. I think it would be better to watch from the side for a day or so.”
“I’m fine… Junior, what are other people saying?”
“I’m sorry to senior, but that… He already said it. Senior’s physical condition.”
In order to eliminate any possible variable in Blood Heaven, I told Cheon Ha-yeon and Han Yeo-reum in advance.
“No, it’s not something to hide, so what… The curse was lifted anyway thanks to juniors. Bloodthirsty Spirit. A bloody blood bridge.”
“It is liberation.”
“Yes, liberation.”
“Are you finally leaving the blood bridge?”
I asked in a slightly playful tone. She shook her head slowly.
“I’m going to come out… But even if I come out, I have to solve the problem.”
“What to do?”
“Can I lie down for a bit? It’s still cold.”
Beatrice glanced toward the bedroom.
“As much as you like.”
I lifted her up and put her on the bed in her bedroom and covered her with a blanket. Beatrice, who only peeked out the corners of her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then slipped away from her gaze.
“I know something like that.”
“Yes.”
“Can you put your hand on your forehead? Don’t tease me like a child.”
“The curse was lifted and you became young.”
“No it’s not.”
Beatrice licked her lips. Seeing that figure strangely cute, I put my hand on Beatrice’s forehead.
“Good night. I never thought of such an ordinary thing.”
“So what are you going to do? For the time being, it would be better not to use martial arts as much as possible. The truth too. Sounds like I’ll have to find a solution…”
“Do you remember my real name?”
“Yes, it was Jegalhye. I know.”
I don’t know why you’re bringing up that all of a sudden. I nodded my head meekly.
“Jegalse… My family. It is known that it is extinct.”
“It is.”
“In fact, it was true that it was equivalent to the extinction, but some, including the direct line, survived. So that’s where I am.”
“Yes.”
“Do you know where that ‘part’ went?”
“I’ve never really heard of it.”
“Blood bridge.”
“…”
Now the puzzle has come together. It felt like all the fog had lifted.
“Yes, the once glorious pillar of the white sword sect. It is said that Jegal Sega could not fail, and she became the master of the Blood Religion. It’s nothing special, it’s common. Because this is the world.”
“Is that why you don’t use the surname Jegal?”
“Yes. This is the outside It’s a camouflage, but… Actually, I have no regrets for Mr. My mother’s family isn’t clean either… But isn’t it?”
“No. I understand. Is it your purpose to deal with the corrupted Jegal family inside the Blood Bridge?”
“No, just. I wanted to ask properly. To my father, Zhuge Hui, the head of blood and brain. Why did you do that?”
Beatrice caught her breath for a moment, her face distorted. Then he spoke again.
“Why did the person called Waryong Hyeonshin (臥龍現身) sell me to such a hell? So are you satisfied? I haven’t heard an answer so far. No matter how much he degenerates into a blood cult, he is still his father. Just, that’s all.”
