Chapter 2126 – 2126. Gwangmyeong Ascension
“Wiyu’s disciple!!! I’ll kill you!!”
“I’ll devour you and throw the scraps to that bitch! I can’t wait to see the look on her face!”
Each time their hooves pounded the air, a shockwave rippled out, pushing back the dark clouds. It seemed they hadn’t followed me without any plan. However, the dark clouds continued to multiply. Even when pushed back, they would fill in again.
Rumble.
Thunder rumbled within the clouds. Bolts of lightning pierced through the clouds, illuminating the surroundings. It was like starting a car. Within the clouds, lightning energy began to generate and amplify.
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流), Thunder Cry (雷鳴).
Thunder cries echoed from all over the clouds. Lightning and lightning resonated, increasing their size.
“Come here!”
“Don’t you want to hear our voices?!”
They lured me with beautiful voices. There was a sense of urgency. Even though they were driven mad by anger and madness, they knew the situation wasn’t good.
They chased after me, creating shockwaves, but I darted through the clouds using Flying Thunder God. The surrounding area was filled with lightning energy. In a way, it was more than using the Flower Flame Flying Blade’s domain. This was my territory.
“All you can do is run away!! You coward!!”
“Aren’t you ashamed of your master, Wiyu’s name!!”
They were furious. Regardless, I kept my distance as much as possible.
Perhaps they accepted that they couldn’t catch me. They slowed down and began to sing. Beautiful voices harmonized in different tones. Just like the lightning energy resonating in the dark clouds, their voices resonated and grew in size.
‘Their sound manipulation is impressive. If we had fought on the ground, it would have been dangerous.’
But this was inside the dark clouds.
My territory.
Rumble!
Thunder struck. The massive thunder drowned out their song.
As if in response, their sound manipulation pulsed, trying to push back the dark clouds and lightning energy. But it was too late.
Rumble!
Dozens of thunderbolts grew more intense with each passing second, multiplying from hundreds to thousands.
Lightning flashed everywhere. The flashes layered upon each other, turning the pitch-black clouds a deep blue.
A sea of lightning was created in the sky. I declared to the ones trapped in the sea of lightning.
“Die.”
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流), Ultimate Technique (極技), Thunder Heaven Decree (雷天命).
A wave of lightning crashed down.
Lightning covered the sky. Countless bolts of lightning raged without limit. If viewed from below, it would be brighter than the sun, to the point of blinding.
Within this sea of lightning, they screamed. Even if they protected their bodies with demonic energy, there was no way they could withstand the countless bolts of lightning. The demonic energy was only prolonging their lives. I watched them, feeling omnipotent within the lightning.
They chose to fall to the ground to survive. It was a wise decision, but it was too late. The ones falling were already on the verge of death.
I spread my palm in the clouds. Countless bolts of lightning gathered on my palm, compressing into the shape of a spear. The lightning spear was completed in an instant. There was so much lightning energy around. If I threw the lightning spear at the falling ones, the battle would end immediately.
It was the moment I took my stance. I felt a pressure along with a gaze. The gaze was coming from the peak of Falling Moon Mountain. Wiyu was there.
“……”
Wiyu quietly looked at me. I immediately understood the meaning.
Don’t overdo it.
If I threw this now, Falling Moon Mountain wouldn’t just be damaged; the mountain could collapse. If that happened, Wiyu would kill me. She could kill me and then kill me again the next day.
I released the power from the hand holding the lightning spear. The lightning spear exploded, scattering the compressed lightning in all directions. The clouds caught in the blast evaporated, shining one last time. After that, the sky was clear.
‘I got too excited and used up most of my inner energy.’
I descended to the ground. The ones were on the verge of death, so killing them wouldn’t be difficult.
As expected, they were dying, scorched. Their bodies were covered in soot. They were lying on the ground, unable to get up. Only their eyes were filled with anger and hostility.
I was about to finish them off with the Flower Flame Flying Blade when I stopped. Wiyu had fallen from the sky. She looked at them and sighed.
“The Nokchok clan.”
“Wiyu! You bitch!! We came to kill you!!”
“We will avenge our clan… right here!!”
They forced themselves up, dripping blood. Then, one of them began to devour the other. The one devouring grew larger, and its demonic energy began to increase.
‘Those bastards are risking their lives. Is this some kind of last resort? I should kill them now.’
I had to attack before the transformation was complete. But I couldn’t step forward when Wiyu was standing still. She looked at them with emotionless eyes.
“It is my karma.”
“I’ll kill you, the enemy of our clan…!!”
“But I do not regret it. The Nokchok were monsters who enjoyed luring people with their beautiful voices and devouring them. In those days, it was natural for monsters to kill, dominate, and devour humans. It was an era where the law of the jungle was the norm, before good and evil were distinguished. The Nokchok acted as monsters, and I acted as a human. That is all there is to it.”
“Wiyuuuuuuu!!!!”
The monster, having devoured its companion, charged at Wiyu. Wiyu drew her Wiyu Divine Sword and swung it down. With that light movement, the monster’s life was extinguished. The body that had charged so fiercely was split in half, and the ferocious demonic energy that seemed capable of devouring the world disappeared.
Wiyu quietly looked at the monster’s corpse.
“A corpse filled only with hatred and anger. If left alone, it will become poison and pollute the surroundings. It is a monstrosity with only curses left, without life or soul, so burn it to ashes.”
“Yes, Master. But are you alright?”
“…I have no injuries?”
“No, I mean, you seem to be in a bad mood.”
“Old matters have returned as karma, so how could I be in a good mood? However, I hope this is the last time. I always hope for that.”
Wiyu turned and returned to the mansion. I burned the corpses with lightning and followed her.

When I arrived home, dinner was ready.
The table was filled with lavish dishes, as if the saying “the table was about to break” was made for this. There were four mouths, but the dishes were easily enough for more than ten people. Among them, the most noticeable was the Western-style cuisine. More than half of the dishes were Western.
‘It’s amazing that she finished this much food in such a short time. Well, she probably used magic.’
Mireyeong’s cooking skills were beyond question. Her cooking always satisfied my palate. Mireyeong was talented in many ways.
“There are so many dishes I’ve never seen before. They all look delicious. I’m experiencing so many new things today.”
Sama Ryeong quietly admired. She looked perplexed at the fork and knife.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had your cooking. It’s definitely much better than that guy’s cooking.”
Wiyu skillfully cut and tasted the steak with a fork and knife. Sama Ryeong quietly followed Wiyu’s actions. By the way, the guy she was referring to was me. Compared to Mireyeong, my cooking skills were pathetic, so I didn’t argue.
I liked the basil pesto risotto.
On this lavish table, Mireyeong’s place had a cup of instant ramen and a cup of cold cola with ice.
“Mireyeong, are you eating ramen and cola here…?”
“Yes, dear. I wanted ramen and cola more than anything else!”
Since she said she liked it, I couldn’t say anything. Still, the combination of ramen and cola was a bit much. I vaguely remembered hearing that ramen and cola didn’t go well together.
Since she seemed satisfied, I decided to focus on the meal.
After the meal.
“Mireyeong, I would like to talk about the Harmony Realm.”
“Ah, okay. I heard you helped my dear get into my mind? I should definitely repay that. Shall we go to the room and talk? And other things too.”
Mireyeong smiled and went into the room with Sama Ryeong.
Wiyu sat on the sofa with her legs crossed as usual and opened a can of beer. Her eyes were fixed on the drama on TV.
I stood there, bewildered. Wasn’t it supposed to be eat and then sex?
‘Mireyeong and Sama Ryeong seem to be having a serious conversation, so it’s a bit awkward to interrupt.’
I sat next to Wiyu. Wiyu was focused on the drama. Her hand moved. She was subtly trying to make contact.
“Ahem.”
I immediately stopped my hand and pretended to be looking at my smartphone.
As expected, Wiyu was not easy.
[The game is terminated.]
[Experience calculation begins.]
[Mireyeong’s bond level is 9.]
[Wiyu’s bond level is 6.]
[Sama Ryeong’s bond level is 5.]
[Seong Ji-gon’s bond level is 7.]
…….

I returned to reality.
Sex with Mireyeong could be done in reality. I was planning to summon her this time anyway. If I didn’t summon her too often, she would get sulky, so now was the perfect time.
‘Mireyeong’s bond level has reached 9.’
I could use a bond level increase ticket to make her bond level 10.
‘It’s definitely beneficial to use the ticket.’
[Seong Yu-jin
Level: 92
Strength: 130 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 130 Vitality: 130 Mana: 130]
[Available Points: 9,994]
I checked my points. The price of a bond level increase ticket was 1,000 points, so I could definitely buy it.
‘I should increase my stats this time.’
I was torn between mana and vitality. I felt that my vitality was sufficient, but I always felt a lack of mana. To use the Cloud-Riding Decree smoothly, I needed a large amount of mana more than anything else.
For reference, the mana stat affects not only the amount of mana but also the ability to use mana.
[Seong Yu-jin
Level: 92
Strength: 130 Stamina: 130 Agility: 130 Intelligence: 130 Vitality: 134 Mana: 133]
[Available Points: 2,494]
So, I increased one point each in vitality and mana. In game terms, it was like increasing health and mana, so it was a great deal.
‘Isn’t 1,500 points for one stat too much?’
[You have purchased a bond level increase ticket.]
[Bond Level Increase Ticket
You can forcibly increase the bond level of one character. However, the bond level must be below 10.
Price: 1,000 points
※Caution
You can only use this once per character.]
[Do you want to use the bond level increase ticket on Mireyeong?]
‘Yes.’
