## Chapter 599 – 599. The Ascent To Light

599. The Ascent to Light

“Kuhahaha!”

Oh Son-mo’s hearty laughter echoed through the mountain fortress. He was at his home, gulping down the liquor poured by his recently acquired third wife.

Surrounding him were the bandits who could be considered the core members of Oh Young-chae, all drinking and vying to flatter Oh Son-mo.

“Boss! You were truly magnificent today!”

“That’s right! It was spine-chilling!

“Those bastards are probably celebrating their escape right now. They don’t even know tonight is their death anniversary!”

“How did you come up with such a scheme, Boss!”

It was blatant flattery.

But Oh Son-mo loved his subordinates’ blatant flattery. Their flattery was proof that he was at the top.

“But Boss, is it alright to disregard the Jikga Escort Agency like this?”

The bandits of Oh Young-chae knew about the Jikga Escort Agency. Even though it was a bit far away, it was a famous place that had been expanding its influence recently. Since escort agencies could be either customers or enemies, the bandits were also sensitive to information about them.

“Hehe. It’s fine. After this job, we’re going to quit being bandits.”

“Huh! No way! We haven’t even held this territory for long! Retirement is out of the question!”

“It’s not retirement! It’s just moving on from being bandits to something else! If we successfully complete this job, we’ll become martial artists!”

“Boss! We don’t really understand what you’re talking about.”

The bandits stared at Oh Son-mo, their curiosity piqued. As their gazes focused on him, Oh Son-mo became even more jovial.

“It’s the final stage, so it’s okay to tell you. If we succeed in this, we’ll become martial artists of the Ahyeon Shin Clan.”

Ahyeon Shin Clan.

The Shin family located in Ahyeon City.

It was a place that boasted a power comparable to the Jikga Escort Agency.

“Could it be… was the attack on the Jikga Escort Agency related to the Ahyeon Shin Clan?”

“Yes. About a week ago, a martial artist from the Ahyeon Shin Clan came to me with a proposal. Well, even though we’ll be going to the outskirts of the area controlled by the Ahyeon Shin Clan, it’s still several times better than being bandits. Don’t you think so?”

“O-Of course! The fact that we’ll become members of the Ahyeon Shin Clan…! Just imagining it makes my heart swell! Keee~! The liquor goes down even better!”

“Kuhahaha! I admit it feels good! But drink in moderation! If you mess up the job because you’re too drunk, there’s nothing more embarrassing!”

They began to drink boisterously.

It was about an hour later that Oh Son-mo sensed something was amiss.

One of his subordinates, who had been drinking, staggered and then face-planted onto the table.

His nearby colleagues seemed to think he had simply passed out from drinking too much and continued to drink. But not Oh Son-mo. His face hardened severely.

“Poison! It’s poison!”

The atmosphere, which had been pleasantly heated, turned cold as if doused with cold water.

Oh Son-mo continued, “That guy didn’t drink enough to get drunk! There’s definitely poison in the liquor! Everyone, stop moving and use your inner energy to push out the poison!”

“Yes, Boss!”

The subordinates all sat cross-legged and began to push out the poison.

“H-Honey! What about me?!”

Oh Son-mo’s wife was flustered. She was a woman of outstanding beauty, but she knew nothing about martial arts. Oh Son-mo’s attitude towards his wife was gentle.

“Don’t worry, my dear. The poison is probably in the liquor. You didn’t drink any, so you’ll be safe. Block the entrance so no one can come in. We can find the culprit after we’ve pushed out the poison.”

It was then.

One by one, the subordinates who were circulating their inner energy collapsed to the floor.

Snore. Snore.

They fell asleep, even snoring.

“……It wasn’t poison, but a sleeping drug.”

Oh Son-mo felt relieved but also sensed something was off. If they wanted to kill them, they could have used poison. Why would they bother putting them to sleep with a sleeping drug?

‘They’re not professional assassins. If they were, they would have used poison. What the hell is this? What are they trying to do by putting us to sleep? Kill us directly? Or steal something?’

Oh Son-mo felt his head getting increasingly dizzy. The effects of the sleeping drug were taking hold.

‘A sleeping drug that can put even me, who’s at the Outset Realm, to sleep… This isn’t an ordinary sleeping drug… Damn it… Circulating my inner energy isn’t very effective. My consciousness is fading….’

Staggering, Oh Son-mo saw his wife looking at him with concern. He couldn’t collapse here.

Oh Son-mo unleashed his martial art, the Golden Strength Art, to its maximum. His body hardened, and a golden aura began to emanate from him.

‘I am the ruler of this place! I have to force out the effects of the sleeping drug, even if it’s too much!’

He succeeded in pushing out the effects of the sleeping drug with the power of the Golden Strength Art. His blood and energy were slightly damaged in the process, but it was better than falling asleep defenselessly.

‘Who the hell put the sleeping drug in the liquor? Was it an inside job? Or an outside attack? It’s possible the Jikga Escort Agency is behind this!’

It was then. The door opened, and two men entered. They were wearing black clothes and had ordinary-looking faces. They were not Oh Son-mo’s subordinates. Oh Son-mo’s eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly.

“You bastards! You’re wearing skin masks! Are you assassins?!”

•••

I ignored Oh Son-mo’s words and looked around. All the bandit leaders were asleep.

‘Yuria made it, and I enhanced it with the Ascent to Light. There’s no way these weaklings wouldn’t fall asleep. It’s unexpected that Oh Son-mo didn’t fall asleep, though. …Judging by his appearance, it seems like he pushed himself too hard to stay awake.’

I saw a woman near the entrance.

She was a woman who looked demure. Long black hair like silk and downward-sloping eyes. A full chest and a slender waist. She exuded a demure atmosphere.

She was undoubtedly Oh Son-mo’s wife.

‘It’s a bit of a waste for a woman like her to be the wife of a bandit leader… But considering Oh Son-mo’s level, it’s not that strange.’

If you’re at the Outset Realm, it’s not unusual to marry the most beautiful woman in the village.

“Hehe… She has a body that looks like it’d be so supple. I like it.”

“You bastard!”

Oh Son-mo yelled at me. He’d been noisy since earlier. His intention was clear. He was trying to call his subordinates outside.

It was futile. Did he really think I only drugged these guys? Most of his subordinates outside were also asleep, except for a few.

“I don’t see any women I like here?”

“They’re not here. I saw quite a few women who are your type earlier.”

“I guess I’ll have to go out then. But what about that guy?”

Sung Ji-gon pointed at Oh Son-mo.

“Considering how that bastard played us, I can’t just kill him.”

“Yeah, that was a bit annoying.”

Sung Ji-gon became more aggressive than usual. This guy’s personality changes a bit when he wears a mask or a skin mask.

“You bastards! You’re from the Jikga Escort Agency…! Do you think I, Oh Young-chae, will be defeated by the likes of you!”

Oh Son-mo grabbed a large sword that was leaning against the wall and charged at me. The tip of his sword was imbued with a clear golden aura.

I also grabbed the Hwaryeon Flying Dagger and rushed towards him.

Crackling. Red lightning sparked from the blade of the Hwaryeon Flying Dagger.

Kwaaang!

A shockwave spread.

I couldn’t withstand Oh Son-mo’s power and staggered backward. My arms and shoulders were tingling.

‘We’re both at the Outset Realm, but Oh Son-mo is several levels higher. And his martial art itself is probably one that boosts physical abilities in an instant. He looks like he fights in a brutish way.’

Oh Son-mo charged at me like a wild boar. Compared to his superior physical abilities, his movements were nothing special. Too linear and too obvious. Without even needing to use a fleeting moment, I evaded his attack.

‘He hasn’t properly learned martial arts.’

Even though Oh Son-mo was at a higher level than me, it didn’t necessarily mean he would win. Compatibility, weapons, proficiency in martial arts. There were plenty of factors that could allow me to win.

‘Lightning Strike!’

I unleashed a lightning strike at him and instantly closed the distance, swinging my sword. His left arm flew into the air, spurting blood, before falling to the ground with a thud.

“Kuaaaaaaaak!”

“Honey!”

Oh Son-mo retreated. Blood gushed from his mouth. It seemed the lightning strike had damaged his blood and energy. I didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be able to protect his blood and energy.

‘I can’t miss this chance to finish him!’

I used a fleeting moment to close the distance. I cut off Oh Son-mo’s right arm as well.

This time, he didn’t even scream and collapsed to the floor. He must have suffered severe internal injuries from the lightning strike.

“Oh, Jin won.”

“Gon, did you think I would lose?”

“No way. I thought you would win. But I was surprised at how easily you won.”

“What should we do with the rest?”

“Kill a few, and tie up the rest with ropes.”

“Okay.”

Sung Ji-gon grabbed swords in both hands and approached the sleeping bandits. I saw his sword tips trembling slightly. For him, this was cold-blooded murder. But he didn’t hesitate and swung his swords, killing the bandits.

Maybe it was because he had killed monsters before, or maybe it was because his opponents were bandits, but he killed them more easily than I expected. Sung Ji-gon killed a few more, as I had told him, and tied the rest with ropes.

Oh Son-mo, in particular, was bound with iron chains. The man, forced to kneel on the ground, shouted at me, his face contorted with rage.

“Don’t touch her!”

“How can I not touch such a tempting woman? Well, don’t worry. I don’t plan to kill your wife. I’ll make her feel good instead. Hehe.”

“Hic, hic… Honey….”

I tore Oh Son-mo’s wife’s clothes with both hands in front of him. Her fair skin was revealed. I ran my palm over her body. It was softer than any silk.

I grabbed her full breasts with both hands. They fit perfectly in my hands. I pinched her light brown nipples with my fingers.

“Haaak!”

“Judging by your reaction, your nipples are a sensitive spot. What’s your name?”

“Please… Please stop. Please….”

“I asked what your name is, but you don’t want to answer? Will you answer if I cut off your husband’s legs?”

Her face, which had been tearful, hardened. She slowly opened her trembling red lips.

“Wi Jo-hui… My name is Wi Jo-hui.”

“Jo-hui. I’m warning you now… It’s better not to resist. If you act in a way that displeases me even a little…”

“You bastard! Get away from her right now! Kill me instead! How dare you harass a woman!”

“That ignorant bandit is going to die in agony. Hehe. What a funny guy. A bandit who steals other people’s women, yet he’s acting like that.”

“Don’t disrespect him! He did it all for everyone…!”

“Ah, you’re talking too much. I don’t care how he lived his life. All I’m interested in is your pussy.”

I completely stripped off her lower garments. I saw the thick black pubic hair growing on her vulva. Wi Jo-hui reflexively narrowed her thighs and covered her vulva with her hands.

“Move your hands.”

“……”

“You haven’t forgotten what I said earlier, have you? Move your hands.”

“…Hic….”

The hands covering her vulva fell away. I forcibly opened her thighs and checked her vulva. It was a bright red vulva, cleaner than I expected.

“Uwaaaaaaaak! You bastard! Stop it! If you do any more, I won’t forgive you even in death!”

Ignoring Oh Son-mo’s screams, I touched Wi Jo-hui’s vulva here and there. I was naturally using arousal enhancement.

“Hehe. It’s a pussy that looks like it’d be warm inside.”

I reflexively looked for Sung Ji-gon, but I remembered that he had gone outside to bring a woman.

‘I guess I can enjoy myself first.’

Wi Jo-hui’s vulva was soon wet. I lifted her thighs from behind, hooking them on my arms. I openly showed Oh Son-mo his wife’s vulva.

“This is the pussy you used to fuck. You can see it’s wet, right? Don’t take your eyes off it. My big dick will soon be going into this pussy.”

“Uwaaaaaaaak, you bastard!!!”

I took out my erect dick from my pants. My dick poked at her vulva.

“Hic! It’s, it’s too big…!”

Fear was evident in Wi Jo-hui’s voice. I grinned and was about to thrust my dick in when the door opened, and Sung Ji-gon entered. He was dragging a woman with him. She was an old woman wearing fine clothes. Judging by the fact that she was awake, he must have given her a stimulant.

“Oh, Mother?!!”

“Son-mo!”
