Chapter 1029 – 1029. Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
I am still in the mental world.
“……”
I stroked my neck with my hand. I don’t feel the touch of the cumbersome collar. With this, I am free.
‘I’m not entirely happy.’
Because the situation isn’t very good.
Once Yuria catches me, it’s obvious what my future will be like. Like last time. No, I’ll be restrained even more severely than last time. In the worst case, the future of the [Baekhwan] world might disappear.
‘I do have cheat items like the 30-day regression ticket and the Absolute Emperor’s Authority, but it’s a waste to use them now.’
I looked around. It was a wooden hut. It was a building I’d never seen before. I cautiously checked outside the window. I saw a modern city that didn’t fit in with a fantasy world. It’s Seoul.
‘At least I’m definitely far away from where Yuria is.’
Last time, I was unlucky.
I never thought I’d meet Yuria as soon as I entered the mental world. Usually, you could say that’s lucky… but Yuria’s state right now isn’t normal.
‘I’m not normal either. Even now, my dick gets hard whenever I think of Yuria.’
I started thinking.
Not being able to escape the mental world is the worst. But there are a few good things.
This mental world isn’t something special where only I revive. There’s a high possibility that Elena, who died at Yuria’s hands, has also revived and is active somewhere in this mental world.
‘…Elena has a time limit.’
Elena is a being I summoned. She will be reverse-summoned after a certain amount of time. The good thing is that the summoning time is based on the real world, not the mental world. Based on the mental world, I’ll have more than ten days to spare.
‘It’s different from the original, so it’s hard to be sure… Should I join up with Elena?’
No.
It might be better to act separately.
It’s also a way for me to draw Yuria’s attention while Elena acts freely.
‘…In the worst case, I might have to give up on feeding the Dragon Lord’s heart to Yuria. In that case, it’s best for Elena or me to take it. Well, by then, it might be better to use the 30-day regression ticket….’
I decided to check how weak I had become.
‘Lightning.’
Blue lightning crackled between my fingers. I tilted my head. It was no different from when I was outside the mental world.
‘Flash.’
[Using Flash. Remaining stacks: 4]
I could use skills without any problems.
I clenched my fist and punched the wooden wall. Bang! With a loud noise, the wooden wall broke. The fragments flew everywhere.
‘My body has gotten smaller, but my strength is the same.’
I couldn’t properly exert my strength in front of Yuria.
‘……No, what if I had exerted it properly?’
The reason I couldn’t break the chains was because the material was disgustingly strong, and if Yuria, who subdued my body so easily, was abnormally strong, then that situation is explained.
‘Damn it. Thinking of Yuria as an enemy makes me feel so helpless.’
I shook my head and went outside. I need to find the Dragon Lord’s heart. Fortunately, the mental world hasn’t disappeared, so it seems no one else has found the Dragon Lord’s heart.
I walked towards Seoul, which was in front of me. The fact that I had to find the Dragon Lord’s heart somewhere in that place made me feel dizzy.
‘I have to walk carefully so that I don’t get noticed by Yuria.’
It was summer in Seoul, and the temperature was hot. After walking for a bit, I felt thirsty. I wanted a drink. Looking around, I went into a nearby convenience store.
Clink.
The bell on the door rang. The convenience store clerk didn’t react. She was a woman, but thankfully, she was ugly. My dick didn’t react at all.
Zzzzzap.
I threw lightning at the convenience store clerk. The electrocuted clerk couldn’t even scream and turned into gray dust and disappeared.
As I was going to get a drink, I saw a man outside the convenience store. He had seen me kill the clerk. But he didn’t react strangely. He wasn’t surprised, and he didn’t report it to the police. He just went on his way.
‘This is the mental world. They’re human, but they’re not human. The social system doesn’t work properly either.’
I took out a canned drink and gulped it down. The sweet drink was even refreshing. I was about to go outside, but I went into the convenience store’s storage room.
‘You never know. The Dragon Lord’s heart might be here.’
It wasn’t there. The good thing was that I didn’t have to check every item. The heart’s energy is felt automatically when you get close enough.
I shook my head and went outside. I wandered around the neighborhood looking for the Dragon Lord’s heart, but I couldn’t find even a trace of it.
A little more time passed. The sun in the sky set, and night came to Seoul.
‘Ah, I’m sleepy. Should I just sleep somewhere? And have sex….’
As I was walking down the street, I was surprised when I entered an alleyway. A man with soft blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fancy aristocratic outfit that didn’t fit in with Seoul was lying helplessly in the alleyway.
“…Baron Glbert?”
Baron Glbert slowly raised his head. His expression was full of fatigue.
“…Oh. Mr. Eugene. Your appearance has changed, so I didn’t recognize you at first.”
Baron Glbert didn’t seem like he was going to get up. I narrowed my eyes at his helpless appearance.
‘He was definitely struggling to survive outside… Is this some kind of tactic? What’s his scheme?’
I want to kill him, but even if I kill him, he’ll just revive somewhere else.
“Baron Glbert. What are you doing here?”
“As you can see, I’m resting. I’ve been wandering around this damn city for the past three days without eating properly, and I’m exhausted. It’s ironic that I feel physical fatigue in the mental world, isn’t it?”
“Your tone has become arrogant.”
“I apologize. But please understand, Mr. Eugene. No matter what, I don’t feel motivated. It’s inevitable in this world. I’ve already given up, and the moment I embraced laziness, the laziness amplified….”
“What do you mean? Baron Glbert. What do you know about this world?”
“……”
Baron Glbert closed his eyes and mouth.
“Baron Glbert! Answer me!”
“……”
I pressed Baron Glbert a few more times. But Baron Glbert didn’t budge.
Zzzzzap.
I approached Baron Glbert with electricity crackling in my right hand. I plan to torture him to make him talk.
Baron Glbert opened his eyes and mouth before my hand touched his body.
“Stop! Don’t torture me! I’ll talk!”
“In the end, you were going to talk, so why did you stall? Did you test me with your status?”
“No. I was too lazy to react… It just felt bothersome. I’m too lazy to even be alive right now. I know it’s meaningless to die, so I’m just breathing here.”
“You’re not normal. Tell me all the information you know.”
“Torture is painful and bothersome, so I’ll tell you everything…. First of all, the reason I’m like this… is because of the demon of desire, Bitsole, that I made a contract with.”
I listened intently to Baron Glbert’s words.
In summary, the power of Bitsole, the demon of desire, has permeated this mental world. That’s why emotions and desires are being stimulated. It explains why I suddenly couldn’t handle my surging libido, and why Yuria is obsessed with me.
“Why did you become like that? Were you always a lazy guy?”
“…No. I was also motivated at first. If I could just get the Dragon Lord’s heart… I would become a superhuman too. But I realized yesterday that I don’t have the qualifications for that.”
“Yesterday?”
“I saw it. Kyle-nim… no, the battle of the woman that Kyle and Eugene call Elena. Yes. It was amazing. Kyle was stronger than I thought, and that woman overwhelmed Kyle. To be honest, I don’t know what that battle was about. But… I definitely realized that it’s not a world I can interfere with. Right after that, I was overwhelmed with laziness.”
Is this what happens when you give up? I remembered Baron Glbert’s appearance and asked.
“It seems like Elena won the fight against Kyle. Which way did Elena go?”
“She went east. But I wonder if east or west even matters in this world. I’ve given you all the information I have. Now, won’t you leave me alone? The laziness I enjoy alone is really comfortable and good. I want to enjoy this laziness more….”
“One last thing. Where is the demon called Bitsole?”
If I kill Bitsole, his power might disappear, and Yuria might return to normal.
“I don’t know. He’s a rat-like demon, so he’s good at hiding. One thing is for sure, he’s secretly watching from somewhere….”
Baron Glbert closed his eyes and mouth.
I pondered for a moment. Should I kill him here?
‘…It’s meaningless to kill him. He’ll reappear somewhere else. Judging by his appearance, it doesn’t seem like he’s acting… It’s okay to leave him here.’
Anyway, I got information about why this mental world is in this state. And that Elena is active.
•••
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled.
I narrowed my eyes and turned my head towards the source of the sound. Black lightning was striking there. Yuria is fighting someone. The distance is about 5KM away.
‘Is she fighting a monster from the mental world? Or is it Kyle or Elena?’
Either way, it’s crazy for me to go there. I had to keep my distance as much as possible. I quickly moved my legs and left the city. The space changed abruptly. It was in some unknown mountain.
“Eugene. What’s with that appearance?”
I stopped running and looked at the man who spoke to me. There was a man who looked like Kyle. He had longer hair and a slightly different appearance than Kyle, and the clothes he was wearing were from a martial arts world. The sword he was holding was also a martial arts sword.
“…Kyle?”
“That’s right. I’m Kyle.”
Is he a fake? Kyle wouldn’t talk to me so cheerfully?
When I looked at him with wary eyes, Kyle smiled bitterly.
“You must be feeling strange that I’m being so docile.”
“In this world, you’re stimulated by desires and emotions. Kyle, you must want to kill me and have Yuria.”
“That’s right. I want to kill you even now. But I also know it’s a meaningless act. Even if I die, I won’t really die.”
Kyle was calm.
I suddenly realized the reason.
Kyle was being controlled by Baron Glbert. The stimulation of desires and emotions was focused on him. And that ability has now spread throughout the mental world. I’m also feeling a surge of libido, but I haven’t completely lost my reason. In Yuria’s case, her eyes have always been on me, so it’s still too early to judge.
And Kyle’s desire is more focused on Yuria than me.
“I just met Yuria. And I died.”
Kyle continued.
“The moment I saw Yuria, my reason evaporated, and I rushed at Yuria. It was an opportunity to get Yuria. But… she was too strong. My sword couldn’t even touch the tip of Yuria’s foot. Eugene, Yuria is looking for you.”
“So, what do you want to say?”
“If I offer you to Yuria, will Yuria look at me?”
“Go ahead and try.”
It wouldn’t be bad to have a fight with Kyle here. Kyle is an aura master, but I already found a way to break his Plum Blossom Sword Technique a long time ago. It’s a way to break it that Yuria found, not me, but that makes it even more certain.
“…No, it’s okay. Yuria still wouldn’t look at me.”
“Have you given up?”
“Yeah.”
Kyle nodded readily. It’s a lie. I didn’t bother to dig into it.
“What’s your real business?”
