## Chapter 608 – 608. The Ascent To Radiance
608. The Ascent to Radiance
Jik Seongmi, accompanied by ten elite warriors, pressed us.
I didn’t waste time and, looking at the talisman, guided them.
“That talisman. Where did you get it?”
“Do I have to tell you?”
“If you tell me, I’ll have some degree of trust in you.”
“So, you’re saying I don’t have to.”
“……”
We arrived at our destination easily. It wasn’t that far to begin with.
“The talisman is pointing here.”
“There’s nothing here. Did you trick me?”
“It’s hidden by a barrier, so we can’t see the entrance. We have to dig into the ground to get inside the barrier.”
“So that’s why you told us to bring shovels before we came. Everyone, start digging.”
“……Yes, Miss.”
The warriors answered with expressions that clearly showed they were not pleased. It was understandable, as they were renowned experts in any sect they went to.
‘They must not like doing menial labor like digging.’
However, the warriors, unable to refuse Jik Seongmi’s order, silently dug into the ground. As expected of warriors, their digging skills were exceptional.
“Miss! There’s a secret passage underneath!”
“……It was real.”
Jik Seongmi’s mood relaxed. It seemed she had gained a little more trust in us.
“Miss Jik, I’ll tell you in advance, it won’t be an ordinary place. The head of the Nagang Sect probably set up formations. We need to be careful.”
“I know that much. The head of the Nagang Sect would have wanted his artifact to be taken by a descendant of the Nagang Sect. Though that descendant doesn’t exist.”
We went inside. The warriors led the way, with Sung Jiggon and I in the middle, and Jik Seongmi at the very back.
“There are traps. I’ll destroy them.”
There was an expert in mechanisms among the warriors, so we were able to proceed easily. If only Sung Jiggon and I had come, we would have had a lot of trouble.
What stopped us from moving forward were monsters.
They were humanoid monsters. They had bodies over 2 meters tall, filled with bulging muscles. Chains were wrapped around their necks, and unknown characters were inscribed on their chests and waists.
The ones with red horns on their foreheads glared at us.
“Red Horned Oni,” Jik Seongmi said calmly.
“The bigger and more horns a Red Horned Oni has, the stronger it is. The Red Horned Oni here all have one horn. They’re insignificant monsters. Take them down.”
“Yes, Miss!”
The warriors moved in unison, rushing towards the seven Red Horned Oni.
‘Red Horned Oni are insignificant monsters… There’s no way. Red Horned Oni are at the Entry stage from birth, and naturally reach the Knowing stage when they become adults. There’s no way they’re insignificant.’
And the Red Horned Oni here are a bit special. They’re monsters that have been trapped here for a long time. There’s no way they’re ordinary Red Horned Oni.
“Kkyaaaak! Miss! These guys are Jiangshi!”
“What, Jiangshi?!”
“They’re stronger than living Red Horned Oni! Damn it!”
“They’re Jiangshi made with the Nagang Sect’s secret techniques. We have no way to control them…! In this case, I’ll have to step in…!”
I grabbed her shoulder, stopping Jik Seongmi, who had drawn her sword from her waist and was about to rush towards the Red Horned Oni.
“…What are you doing?”
“I don’t intend to betray you, so please calm your murderous intent. I just found a passage. That passage over there. It’s definitely a passage leading further inside. Naturally, the Nagang Sect’s secret techniques will be inside.”
“Can’t you see the situation? We just need to deal with all the Jiangshi here and then go into the passage!”
“That passage. If you look closely, it’s closing little by little.”
“Miss! We’re fine! It’ll just take a little longer, but we have no problem dealing with them. We’ll take care of these guys here and wait, so please go inside the passage!”
“Okay!”
Jik Seongmi answered and dashed into the passage. Sung Jiggon and I followed her. The others didn’t say anything in particular.
That’s because Jik Seongmi is stronger than Sung Jiggon and I. Her cultivation is at the Knowing stage, level 7. She’s called “Miss” and looks young, but in reality, she’s much older.
We entered the passage.
In a wide open space, there was the corpse of the head of the Nagang Sect. The corpse was withered like a mummy.
In the corpse’s hand was a pair of black glasses. They looked like sunglasses, but their effect was vastly different from sunglasses that block light.
The Thousand-Mile Mirror.
If you use it, you can see any place you want within a thousand miles.
It’s the perfect artifact for spying on people.
Thud!
We heard the sound of the passage behind us closing. But no one here turned around.
“Finally! I found the Nagang Sect’s artifact!”
Jik Seongmi rejoiced.
I was more concerned about the things on either side of the corpse. On the right was a wooden box containing elixirs, and on the left were the Nagang Sect’s spell books and martial arts manuals.
Jik Seongmi strode towards the corpse of the head of the Nagang Sect.
I gave Sung Jiggon a signal. Sung Jiggon drew his sword and rushed at Jik Seongmi. Jik Seongmi quickly turned her body and blocked Sung Jiggon’s attack. She already knew that the attack wouldn’t work. If I had really intended to kill Jik Seongmi, I would have ambushed her, not Sung Jiggon.
‘What I was aiming for was the opening that Sung Jiggon created! A split second!’
I ran faster than Jik Seongmi and got my hands on the Nagang Sect’s artifact, the Thousand-Mile Mirror.
“No!”
Jik Seongmi kicked Sung Jiggon.
“Kuh-erk?!”
Sung Jiggon, who was sent flying backward and crashed into the wall, fainted instantly.
“Hand over the artifact!”
Jik Seongmi rushed in front of me, pointing her sword at me. She was definitely fast. If we fought fairly, I would lose.
But Jik Seongmi’s sword didn’t touch my body. That’s because I was about to crush the Thousand-Mile Mirror with the strength of my hand.
“D-Don’t do anything crazy. Do you know how great of a treasure that is?”
“The Thousand-Mile Mirror. It’s the perfect item for spying.”
“Our deal is still valid. You want the Snow Ginseng I have, right? I’ll give you all the elixirs here as well. Just hand over that artifact to me.”
“Heh heh. Elixirs alone are not enough.”
“If we return safely, I can give you more elixirs.”
“That’s not what I mean. I want Miss Jik’s virginity.”
“What?!”
“Miss Jik hasn’t married yet, so you must still be a virgin. Am I wrong?”
“You’re crazy. I can kill you right here.”
“Even though I look like this, I’m a warrior who has reached the Knowing stage. And I was born with the Lightning Spirit.”
Crack.
Lightning flashed in my left hand.
“Even if I can’t beat Miss Jik, I can at least destroy this artifact. It doesn’t seem to be that durable.”
“Tch… I can give you martial arts techniques too.”
“I’m satisfied with the martial arts I have. I’ll count to ten. Drop your sword and take off your clothes right there. If you don’t, I’ll destroy the Thousand-Mile Mirror. One.”
“……”
“Two. Three. Four. Five. Is your virginity that important? As far as I know, the reason Miss Jik wants the Thousand-Mile Mirror is to take over the Jik Family Escort Agency.”
“I’ve protected my virginity for decades. And you want me to give it to someone like you?! I’d rather…!”
“Rather?”
“……”
She glared at me, her body trembling. Goosebumps rose on my skin from her murderous intent.
“Six. Seven.”
Clang!
Jik Seongmi’s sword fell to the floor. Then, with a terrifying expression, she began to take off her clothes.
Thump.
Even her underwear fell off, leaving her completely naked.
Her fair skin was like a baby’s, and her breasts were a decent C-cup. Her pink nipples were adorably placed. There was hair on her smooth abs.
“Heh heh. I knew Miss Jik would make this choice. How can virginity compare to power?”
“Take your hand off it. If the Thousand-Mile Mirror is even slightly damaged, you won’t die a peaceful death.”
I took off my pants. My erect penis stood out, asserting its presence. Jik Seongmi flinched when she saw my penis.
“Lie down on your clothes and spread your legs. Oh, I’ll give you the Thousand-Mile Mirror after we’re done. Heh heh.”
“You’ll regret this.”
“Is it okay to say that? The Thousand-Mile Mirror is in my hands.”
“……”
I knew without being told. Jik Seongmi was planning to torture and kill Sung Jiggon and me after getting her hands on the Thousand-Mile Mirror. But would I have done this without thinking about the aftermath?
“Heh heh heh.”
I held the Thousand-Mile Mirror in my hand and approached Jik Seongmi. Jik Seongmi gritted her teeth. It seemed she was planning to snatch it if I got close, but I was holding the Thousand-Mile Mirror firmly in my right hand.
With my left hand, I spread her legs into an M-shape. Her pussy was clearly visible. It was a pink pussy with a moderate amount of hair and a nice shape to the labia minora.
I grabbed one labia minora with my thumb and spread it to the side. Her pussy twitched, perhaps because it was the first time a man’s touch had reached it. I rubbed my finger while feeling the softness of the labia minora.
“…Hurry up and finish. My guards will be here soon.”
“Ah. It would be troublesome if it became known that I raped you. I also want to take Miss Jik’s virginity as soon as possible. So, hurry up and wet your pussy. Surely you understand what I’m saying? Have you never masturbated?”
“You damn pervert…!”
“That expression is good. It turns me on.”
I rubbed my penis against her pussy. Using the heightened sensitivity, her pussy started to get wet in less than a minute.
Squish, squish.
The explicit sound of her wetness made Jik Seongmi’s face turn red. But she didn’t take her eyes off me. Or rather, she was looking at the hand holding the Thousand-Mile Mirror.
“Okay, I’m going in.”
“Aah! Aaaaaaah!”
I pushed my penis all the way in. At the same time, I rose above her, creating an alluring curve.
Jik Seongmi’s hymen tore, and blood flowed down.
“Ooh… Amazing. Miss Jik. Your pussy is better than any woman I’ve tasted recently.”
I covered her upper body with mine. I could feel the contrasting sensations of her soft breasts and hard nipples at the same time. Above all, I liked her face. Her furrowed brows and parted lips, with her rough breaths coming out.
I slowly moved my hips and kissed her on the lips. Surprisingly, she didn’t resist and obediently accepted my kiss. My tongue roamed freely in her mouth, and my left hand wiped the sweat from her face.
Squeak, squeak.
The feeling of ejaculation came. And there was no reason to hold back. I started to ejaculate inside her.
“Haaah, aaaaah!”
Her waist fluttered. I enjoyed the pleasure of ejaculation while kissing her neck.
At that moment, Jik Seongmi’s hand moved. She was aiming for the Thousand-Mile Mirror in my right hand.
‘A split second!’
I pulled my hand back.
“Ah…”
A regretful sigh came from Jik Seongmi’s mouth. The reason she hadn’t resisted until now was for this moment.
“Not a chance. Heh heh.”
“…The deed is done. Get off me. And hand over the Thousand-Mile Mirror!”
“It’s just beginning. Can’t you feel my penis is still throbbing through your pussy?”
Thwack!
When I thrust strongly into her pussy, her body twitched in response.
“Now, let’s enjoy ourselves.”
“Augh! Ah, aaaaah!”
With my left hand, I turned Jik Seongmi over so she was lying face down. Her firm buttocks and smooth, white back made me even more excited. I grabbed her braided hair and moved my hips roughly.
Thwack! Thud! Thwack!
“Aah, my hair, let go of my hair…! Haaah!”
“You braided it so beautifully. It would be a shame to let go.”
I pulled her braided hair even harder. Her head tilted back, revealing her beautiful neckline. At the same time, her pussy tightened. I moved my hips even more forcefully.
“Here comes the second ejaculation!”
“Haaah, haaaaaaaah!”
Her wetness flowed from Jik Seongmi’s pussy.
“This time, I’ll show you the scissor position…”
Thud!
We heard the sound of something hitting the wall from the passage. I clicked my tongue and got up.
“The guards are here!”
Jik Seongmi shouted as she hurriedly put on her clothes. But the ones hitting the passage wall were not her guards.
“I know everything inside. I’ll be there soon, so wait! Hahahaha!”
It was Shin Gongse’s voice.
‘As expected, the Ahyeon Clan was tailing me.’
I would have been more surprised if it wasn’t the Ahyeon Clan. I took out a box from my inventory and put all the spell books, martial arts manuals, and elixirs inside, then put it back in my inventory.
“That’s a spatial box?! How can someone like you have such a precious artifact…!”
“There’s no reason to explain. Just tear this.”
I gave her a spatial teleportation scroll and forced her to tear it using Sung Jiggon’s hand. Sung Jiggon was enveloped in light and disappeared.
“Wh-What…!”
Ignoring her surprise, I also took out a spatial teleportation scroll.
“Die here if you want. Considering Shin Gongse’s personality, you’ll probably suffer a lot before you die.”
Tear,
I tore the spatial teleportation scroll.
